By Bill Lambdin A growing trend in healthcare is big companies buying up hos-pitals and physician practices and turning them into quick money, high profit businesses. Some of the owners are pri-vate equity firms and other Wall Street types that are being investi-gated by government agencies for questionable practices, according to the New York Times and other sources.

“We’re seeing a lot more con-solidation than we did ten years ago,” said Jeffrey Perry with the Federal Trade Commission. “What we’ve seen with the con-solidation in the healthcare indus-try is that prices go up but quality does not improve.” Nationwide over 60 percent of doctors are no longer in private practice. Many are employees of hospitals or investor-owned phy-sician groups. As employees, they

can be subjected to the pressures of profit by discharging patients from hospitals sooner than they should be; performing unneces-sary tests or procedures; admit-ting patients to hospitals who should not be; and other practices. We’re seeing quite a change in the medical profession from not many years ago. And it puts some patients in the position of won-dering if their doctors are more concerned about patients’ health or profit for the company that em-ploys them. Some people also have to won-der who owns their hospital. Is it a company that seeks quick prof-its and doesn’t care if there are enough nurses to keep patients safe? Does the surgeon you get work at the hospital because he is good or because he does what he is told? But there are also some good

changes in healthcare, like the new law that will require insur-ance companies to accept people with pre-existing conditions.

Also insurance companies will not be allowed to cancel your cov-erage if you have an expensive ill-ness; companies will not be able to limit dollar amounts on cover-age; you will get free or low-cost screening tests for breast cancer, cholesterol, and other things. Medicare Part D participants will pay less of the coverage gap (doughnut hole) for medicines.

But many analysts point out that there is a lot of uncertainty about what healthcare changes will take place. Regulations for parts of the new law are still be-ing written, and much depends on the details of those regulations as to whether patients and providers will like the changes. ■

�e New Normal for Retirees:Risk Management

Most of us grew up with an investment mindset focused on growth. How much can I make, with very little focus on how much risk am I taking. �at unfortunately proved to be a devastating strategy in the last decade with 2 major recessions causing portfolios to give back most of their gains. Today’s retirees are focused more on how much they can keep, but the safe havens o�er minimal returns. What if you had sold at the height of the market and bought back in at the low point each time. Sounds good but when are we at the high point? How do we know when we have reached the bottom?

�ere are two strategies that professional money managers use to measure market conditions to trigger a buy/sell action. One is tactical, where complex formulas of data measure market trends; the other is mechanical, where certain dates are used, based on historical data. Both strategies are designed to protect portfolios from major losses. �ese strategies are not perfect but they are the new normal for many money managers; buy and hold is a strategy of the past. All invest-ments carry elements of risk but these strategies provide an opportu-nity for growth that far outpace the �xed products o�ered today with a measured amount of risk that is tolerable for most retirees.

Major Changes in Healthcare


By Peggy Hunt In 1844 explorer John Fremont called the North Park area around the town of Walden west of Fort Collins a rancher’s paradise. The museum at Walden will surprise you with its collection of pioneer ranch relics like authen-tic cowboys’ saddles, hats, chaps, rifles. There’s a china room, kitch-en, dining room and bedroom dis-playing dishes and hundreds of things used by local ranch wom-en. There’s also a one-room school, bunkhouse, horse-drawn buggy and hundreds of items you would expect to find only in a big place like the state historical mu-seum in Denver. All of the items are authentic, donated by local families and ranchers. Part of the museum is in a ranch house built in 1882 and once known as “the house of ro-mance.” Local historian Hazel Gresham helped establish the museum in 1961 and wrote a history of North Park. Her granddaughter, Sherry Phillips, now helps run the mu-seum and can tell you interesting stories about the items there. Long before white settlers came, Ute Indians used North Park as a summer hunting ground. The valley and surrounding mountains were teaming with buffalo, deer and elk. The Utes controlled this area for years after white settlers ar-rived in other parts of Colorado. In fact, the Utes from North Park would come over the mountains to steal horses from early Fort Collins settlers, who would not go after the animals because they were afraid to enter the Utes’ homeland. The first white men were fur trappers like Joseph Bijeau, who arrived in 1820 and told others

about the fine beaver he found in North Park. Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and other mountain men also went there. The winters in this high place were cold and fierce—and still are. Even the tough prospectors sought shelter in Laramie, return-ing only in the summer as early ranchers did. Jacob Fordyce was the first white settler. In 1878, he brought his family and several milk cows to North Park. They made butter, packed it in large tubs and sold it in Laramie. It was still Indian country when rancher C.B. Mendenhall brought 3,000 head of Texas steers to North park in 1879. Other cattle-men watched with interest to see if Mendenhall would keep his scalp. When he did, they began bringing in other herds to graze on the rich summer grasses that stretched for miles Also in 1879, prospectors dis-covered silver at Teller City in the mountains east of the valley. This caused a rush, and by 1880 Teller City had a population of nearly 2,000. Several other small mining camps sprang up around North Park. But the mines were too isolated to be profitable. The ore had to be transported on a long, rough trail over Cameron Pass to Fort Col-lins. And winters were so severe that miners could not work the claims. By 1885, Teller City was aban-doned. It languished for years as

a ghost town and then vanished back into the wilderness. You can still find its location south of the village of Gould. But ranching was not aban-doned. Cattlemen and sheepmen found that John Fremont was right about North Park being a ranch-er’s paradise, with grass as high as an antelope’s back and valleys lush from glistening mountain streams. Ranching is still the main activity, with nearly 100,000 acres of native hayfields that provide additional income for the approxi-mately 2,000 residents of the area. Walden was named for early postmaster Mark Walden, who had the first post office on his property southeast of town in 1890. The North Park Museum is open May 30 to September 30, Tuesdays through Sundays. It is two blocks west of Walden’s main street, behind the court house. For information, call 970-723-8371 or email [email protected]. North Park is part of a disap-pearing place—the real Colorado that many people look for and sel-dom find. ,________________COVER PICTURE: An elk tak-en by Fort Collins professional photographer Ray Rafiti, whose photos have appeared on na-tional television programs and in numerous magazines.

Double Mastectomy It is not necessary for most women who have one breast re-moved because of cancer, said researchers at the University of Michigan and University of Texas. “Taking off the opposite healthy breast has absolutely no bearing on the survival from the current cancer,” said researcher Dr. Isabelle Bedrosian.

Ibuprofen Before Exercise It appears to do more harm than good, said a report in Sports & Exercise. “There is no scien-tifically valid reason to use ibu-profen before exercise and many reasons to avoid it,” said Dr. Da-vid Nieman at Appalachian State University. Also aerobic exercise is better than resistance training for losing weight and fat, said a report in the Journal of Applied of

Physiology.Milk for Toddlers Two cups a day provide the vitamin D they need; more could lower their iron levels and is not recommended, said a report in the journal Pediatrics. Aspirin Longterm use might increase your risk of getting macular de-generation, an eye disease that can cause blindness, said a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. But people who need aspirin for heart condi-tions, etc., should continue using it.Treatment Decisions Many women feel they are asked to make a decision about breast cancer treatment when they have conflicting information or not enough information, said a report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. They should talk with all the doctors involved: surgeon, medical oncologist, ra-diation specialist, and plastic sur-geon.Coughs or Bronchitis Antibiotics don’t work for these and should be used only if pneumonia is suspected, said a report in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Fish Mis-labeled Nearly 40% sold in stores and restaurants have wrong la-bels, said the New York Times. For instance, tilefish which is

full of mercury, is often labeled red snapper. Tuna is often snake mackerel, which contains toxins. In fact 94% of fish labeled white tuna is not tuna. Fainting It appears to be an indication of future heart disease when it happens in young people, said a report in the Journal of the Amer-ican College of Cardiology. Re-searchers studied medical records of over 37,000 people.Soy Supplements They do not relieve menopaus-al symptoms, said a report in the journal Menopause by research-ers at Oregon Health and Science University. Adenoid Removal For children’s upper respirato-ry infections, removing adenoids may be no more effective than waiting to see if infections de-crease on their own, said a report in the British Medical Journal.Strokes Nearly half of the people who have strokes don’t get to the hos-pital in time for clot-busting drugs that could minimize damage, say officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ■

Testosterone Use The number of men using testosterone drugs is increasing rapidly though many medical specialists say the drugs could be dangerous—possibly causing blood clots, liver damage, prostate tumors, and infertil-ity. “A lot of really bad things can happen,” said Edmund Sabenegh at the Cleveland Clinic. But that doesn’t discourage the nearly 6 million men who use testosterone injections, patches, and gels. They believe it en-hances their sex drive and makes them feel younger, said the Bloombeg News. Normally doctors prescribe testosterone when tests show a man to have very low levels of it, which can cause depression, fatigue, low sex drive and other symptoms. But giving it to a man whose levels are nor-mal can be risky, say experts. ■

(Editor’s Note: W.O. Minks came to Colorado in the early 1860s and settled in Loveland. Years

later, he wrote about his experi-ences.)

By W.O. Minks We traveled overland by ox team to Colorado in the ear-ly 1860s with our parents and grandparents and landed first at south Boulder. Later we moved to a home on the Big Thompson River. Later we lived in an old log house owned by Mariana Mede-na. I remember his daughter Lena and his (adopted) son Louis Papa as a young man. There were many friendly Indi-ans around us and a large number living at the mouth of the Buck-horn. In 1866-67 we went back to Missouri and lived there un-til 1873 when our mother died. Grandmother Douty came after

us and took us back to Colorado on the train. The school we attended in Loveland was taught by Miss Winnie Washburn. All sorts of dances and meetings were held in the school building. Seats in the building were screwed to the floor, with many holes made by the frequent moving of them. But that did not hinder the dancers. The first shoemaker was John McLeod, and his shop was on the south side of 4th St. between Cleveland and the railroad. The first blacksmith shop was on the north side of 4th between Cleve-land and the railroad. George Rogers was the black-smith. He grew tired of this trade and started the first barber shop in the town. At first he used the same meth-ods in cutting hair or shaving as he had used in treating horses, and he certainly made us squirm. }

By Bill Lambdin Years ago, Fort Collins resi-dent Francis Clark wrote a book about the Poudre Canyon area titled “Early Settlers Along the Little South Fork of the Cache la Poudre.” Clark came to Colorado in 1920 and worked for Colorado State University. His book fo-cused on early settlers, including colorful people like Sam Steele, who provided Poudre Canyon residents with a lost treasure sto-ry. Steele came to Loveland in 1886 and became a director of the Larimer County Bank. Later he bought land on the Little South Fork of the Poudre River and lived alone there for many years. Clark said:

“In the last year of his life, Sam came into the store at Indian Meadows and stated that, as he no longer had trust in banks, he had withdrawn his money. “Whereupon he showed them $10,000 in cash. Steele was never known to have spent that cash. After his death, practically all the boards in his house were taken out one by one and replaced. No money was ever found. “People in Arizona have their Lost Dutchman Mine,” said Clark. “ Those on the Little South

also have their lost treasure sto-ry.” Another colorful resident was George Pingree, who came to the area on horseback in 1859. Pin-gree Park and Pingree Hill were named for him. Clark said Pingree served in the Civil War and was with John Chivington at the infamous Sand Creek Massacre in eastern Colo-rado in 1864. Chivington’s troops killed In-dian women and children in a senseless slaughter that remains one of the blackest marks on Col-orado history. Clark said Pingree “barely escaped courts martial for having scalped 13 dead Indians.” Pingree later cut ties along the Little South for the trans-

continental railroad when it was built across Wyoming. Clark said he was an excellent tie cutter: “Whereas the average worker cut 40 ties daily...George’s daily out-put was said to be 100 ties.”

Pingree’s headquarters were at Rustic in Poudre Canyon. Some people said he was a crusty old frontiersman who refused all his life to apologize for the Sand Creek Massacre.

He provided Poudre Canyon residents with a lost treasure

story.

By Bill Armstrong

Julesburg, Colorado, was the quintessential frontier town. Cat-tlemen, pony express riders, and pioneers frequented the overland stage stop there, which began as a trading post in 1859 named for the proprietor Jules Beni. “Ol’ Jules” was busy reliev-ing passersby of their horses and stock and adding them to his ranch. The word got out about his miscreant behavior, and the stage company sent Jack Slade to keep order. Beni ambushed Slade, wound-ing him several times with both a shotgun and pistol. Slade vowed he would live long enough to have Jule’s ears on his watch chain. Beni was certain Slade would

expire from his wounds and left him to die. But Slade was tougher than that. He recovered and was later instructed by the army to capture or kill Beni.

Slade captured him in a cor-ral unarmed and shot him in the mouth. Beni asked to fill out his last will and testament.

One can only imagine the dis-cussion between the two enemies as the end approached for Beni. Slade emerged from the corral leaving Beni there with an addi-

tional bullet in the head.

Slade was exonerated by Fort Laramie army officials. Beni’s co-horts never disturbed Slade again. Slade returned to work and a long career as a frontier hard case.

Legend has it that Slade’s watch chain sported a set of ears, which for those who knew Beni looked strikingly familiar.

“Elka of the Wind River Reser-vation” is a new book by Reba Jo Teran with illustrations by Eileen Hayes Skibo, published by the Wyoming State Historical Soci-ety It is a delightful, true Native American family story about a baby elk rescued by the elder brothers on the Reservation. The big brothers made a small pen for the baby and warned the little kids not to touch the tiny shivering animal because she was wild, and human touching might make her sick. She drank pow-dered milk mixed with water from a large pop bottle with a nipple, and the kids loved to watch her nurse. As Elka grew up, she became very frisky and considered the kids as pests. She began to chase them and kick them with her small front hooves. She chased the dogs too. The kids’ mom tied a ribbon with a bell on it around Elka’s neck. When the kids heard the bell, they yelled “Elka!” and sprinted for the fence.

The large full-color pictures match the story, and children be-ing read to are delighted by the sketches of the kids running and hiding from Elka. This is not a Bambi book, but a realistic depic-tion of a baby animal who is raised by humans until the call of the wild leads her back into the beau-tiful Wind River mountains where she was born. The author is the cultural direc-tor of the Eastern Shoshone tribe, and part of her work is giving pre-sentations at schools. People who heard her story encouraged her to turn it into a book . A summary in the Shoshone language at the bottom of every page adds greatly to the cultural value. The book is available at the Wyoming State Museum, City News Books in Cheyenne, and www.wyshs.org. ■

By Peggy Hunt Many books have been pub-lished about the outlaw Billy the Kid. The latest is by historian Frederick Nolan. Some years ago, Nolan found an unpublished manuscript writ-ten by Frank Clifford, who wrote about his life as a cowboy in the late 1800s and his first-hand knowledge of Billy the Kid. Historian Nolan published the manuscript as a book in 2011 ti-tled “Deep Trails in the Old West: A Frontier Memoir.” Nolan met members of Clifford’s family and did research that convinced him the stories told in the book were accurate. Frank Clifford worked as a cowboy near Fort Sumner, New Mexico, several miles east of Al-

buquerque where Billy the Kid was jailed for killing two men. According to Clifford, one of the deputies guarding the Kid, Bob Olinger, taunted the outlaw, showed him a shotgun, and said, “This here gun’s loaded ‘specially for you.” The two men were long-time enemies and had fought over a girl named Dolores. When Olinger went to a cafe across the street, the Kid over-powered the other deputy and got the shotgun. Olinger walked back to the jail, and the Kid yelled, “Hey, Bob!” He fired one barrel into Olinger’s body at close range. Then gave him the second barrel as he yelled, “This one’s for Do-lores!” That is one of the stories Clif-

ford tells in the book, which is not just about Billy the Kid. It covers Clifford’s years as a carefree cow-boy and paints an interesting pic-ture of ranch life in the late 1800s. In fact, it is one of the last eyewit-ness accounts of the early West. The Kid was killed in 1881 at Fort Sumner by lawman Pat Gar-rett, and there have been many versions of how that happened. Clifford said the only witness-es were Garret and a local man named Pete Maxwell. “It was generally believed that the Kid must have been killed as he lay asleep in his bed...Pat was pretty well known as a man who took no chances on his own hide and nev-er gave the other fellow a chance if he could help it.” This book was published in 2011 by the University of Okla-

homa Press ($29.95 hardcover; $9.99 Kindle edition). H

By Lois Hall Several studies question the value of surgery for early-stage prostate cancer. The latest was re-ported in the New England Jour-nal of Medicine and conducted at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Center by Dr. Timothy Wilt. “Many men, when they hear about a diagnosis of prostate can-cer, become fearful,” said Wilt. “They think if they aren’t treated they will die from it. Our results clearly demonstrate that’s not true. The overwhelming majority will not die of their disease if it’s left untreated.” That does not apply to aggres-sive cancers that have spread, of course. And medical experts dis-agree about early-stage treatment. About 90 percent of men with early-stage cancer choose imme-diate treatment with surgery or radiation. Over 100,000 such sur-geries are performed each year in

the United States. Many surgeries are prompted by PSA blood tests commonly recommended by doctors. But nu-merous studies have shown those tests to be inaccurate predictors of the need for surgery. In fact, the inventor of the test, Dr. Richard Ablin, said years ago it is inac-curate and causes “unnecessary, debilitating treatments.” About 80 percent of men with prostate cancer have early-stage cancer that has not spread. “We shouldn’t focus on finding every prostate cancer because...the ma-jority that you find don’t need to be found,” said Dr. Ian Thomp-son, director of cancer research at the University of Texas. About 240,000 men every year are diagnosed with prostate can-cer, usually based on PSA tests. Most of those men should simply choose watchful waiting instead of surgery, said Dr. Wilt. ■

By Peggy Hunt “I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.” “It’s not the men in my life that counts. It’s the life in my men.” Those were the kinds of quips that made Mae West the most popular entertainer in America during the early 1900s. She was also the highest paid woman in the country–and the second highest paid person. Only newspaper publisher Wil-liam Randolph Hearst made more money, and he tried to get Con-gress to pass legislation banning her performances. Hearst thought she was immor-al. He made that judgment though he was married and living with a mistress. Mae was actually more moral than many of the people who crit-icized her. But she knew what it took for a woman to get ahead. She was an intelligent business

woman who made millions in-vesting in Los Angeles real estate. She was also an excellent writer, composing most of her own dia-logue for Broadway shows and movies. And she wrote the quips that made her famous, like: “Marriage is a great institution, but I’m not ready for an institu-tion.” “Between two evils, I always pick the one I haven’t tried be-fore.” Born in New York City in 1893, she spent years doing vaudeville and Broadway shows before making her first movie in 1932, “Night After Night.” She had paid her dues and was nearly age 40 when she made that film. She appeared in her last movie at age 85, just two years before she died in 1980. It was only a brief appearance, but it showed some of the stamina this remark-

able woman had throughout her life. Mae had to fight for everything she got as an entertainer. Censors cut her movies to pieces. Critics panned her. Self-appointed mor-alists raged against her. But the public loved her. Show business then was domi-nated by men who viewed female entertainers simply as sex objects. Mae realized that and was intel-ligent enough to use it to her ad-vantage. She combined female sexual-ity with humor, writing witty dia-logue that showed women often had the upper hand and that sex should be fun. Critics now see that in her movies, but it was too subtle for early moralists. “Brains are an asset—if you hide them,” she said. That appeared to be just a flip-pant remark, but it said a lot about the predicament of women. So did another quip:

“I always say keep a diary and one day it will keep you.” She wasn’t flaunting sex. She was flaunting the stupid, sexual stereotypes of her day. And she was one of the first entertainers smart enough to turn criticism to her advantage. When police jailed her for ten days “for corrupting the public morals,” she had her agent publi-cize the incident instead of trying to cover it up. She knew the pub-lic would see through the official nonsense and realize that moral-ity should not be determined by police-state mentalities. While she was making jokes, William Randolph Hearst was ini-tiating the Spanish-American War in order to sell more newspapers and advocating political assassi-nation just a few months before President McKinley was shot by an anarchist. If you watch Mae West’s early movies today, you probably won’t

find them funny. That’s because censors butchered the plots and omitted most of the good dialogue Mae wrote. Fortunately some of her one-liners that appeared in print have survived. “I’ve always had a weakness for foreign affairs.”

“She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.” “I only like two kinds of men, domestic and foreign.” “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.” Mae West was ahead of her time. }

America’s medical system wastes 30 cents of every dollar spent on healthcare, but there are ways to greatly reduce that and improve the system, said a report from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sci-ences. We waste $750 billion a year on unnecessary tests and repeated tests; expensive services like scans in hospitals instead of in outpatient centers; unnecessary paperwork;

unnecessary administrative costs; misplaced records; the list goes on. Americans should “demand to get better value for their healthcare dollar,” said researcher Dr. Mark D. Smith. Ways to achieve that include rewarding doctors for quality of care, not quantity; having them share information through elec-tronic records; doing more patient follow-up care; reducing hospital re-admissions—to name a few. ■

A Questionable Test A prenatal test called DNA microarray causes unnecessary worries for many expectant mothers, said a report in the journal Genetics in Medicine. The test supposedly identifies problems a child might have such as Down syndrome, but it’s not accurate enough to predict chromo-somal abnormalities that could cause such problems. “I don’t know that uncertainty will ever be completely absent from prenatal testing at all until we have a handle on our complete genome,” said researcher Sandra Darilik at Baylor College of Medicine. Some women get the test because it is offered free. But possible neg-ative results prompt many women to wish they had not taken the test. In fact, some referred to it as “toxic knowledge” causing unnecessary anxiety and worry. ■

By Lois Hall Here are brief descriptions of four historic byways on the east-ern Colorado plains. Pawnee Pioneer Trails Byway. This is a 125-mile, two-hour drive on the plains northeast of Greeley, from Ault to Grover and Sterling, along Highway 14. It takes you across the roll-ing Pawnee National Grasslands to the majestic Pawnee Buttes, 300-foot-high landmarks that

guided some pioneers into Colo-rado. On this drive, you get a feel-ing for the vastness of the great plains and the solitude settlers found here in the 1800s. The local museum in Sterling has excellent collections of pioneer artifacts. South Platte River Trail. This is a 19-mile, one-hour drive south of Julesburg along Interstate 76. It was the main pioneer route to Colorado, following the South

Platte River from Julesburg to Denver, and the route for the 1859 gold rush. Look for markers showing the only Pony Express station in Col-orado, where young Buffalo Bill signed on as a rider. Also look for the location of old Fort Sedgwick and the bat-tleground where plains Indians fought cavalrymen to avenge the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864.

Highway of Legends. This 82-mile, 2-hour drive runs from Walsenburg to LaVeta and Trini-dad. The route was used long be-fore prospectors and white set-tlers entered Colorado. Indians and Spanish explorers traveled it in the 1500s, and Hispanic settlers were here in the early 1800s. It’s called the Highway of Leg-ends because a lost gold mine supposedly exists somewhere on the route, and an entire group of Spanish explorers mysteriously disappeared here in 1594. Santa Fe Trail. This 188-mile,

four-hour drive from Trinidad to LaJunta and Lamar follows the famous Santa Fe Trail, the Old West’s major pioneer route for half a century (from the 1820s to 1870s).

You can still see wagon ruts in places. You can also see Bent’s Fort, authentically reconstructed and maintained by the Colorado Historical Society. This fort alone is worth the drive because few like it remain in America. ■

Did you hear how the Hostess bakery company was going to be split up? The State Department hired the Twinkies. The Secret Service hired the HoHos. The generals got the Cupcakes. The voters sent the Ding Dongs to Congress. A man overturned his golf cart on the course, making quite a noise. A pretty woman who lived on the course heard it and called to him, “Are you okay?” “Yes,” he said. “Come in and I’ll give you some band aids for your scratch-es.” “I would but I don’t think my wife would like it.” “I’ll make you a drink, and we can talk.” “I would but my wife wouldn’t like it.” “She won’t know. Come on in.” After a few drinks, she asked, “By the way, where is your wife?” “Under the cart.”

You know that creatures have group names like a herd of cows and a pride of lions. Did you know the actual group name for one type of monkey is a congress of baboons? From a woman’s view: Men are like blenders. You need one, but you’re not sure why. They’re like mascara; they run at the first sign of emotion. You probably noticed that the recipe for a gingerbread man doesn’t call for brains. A labor union boss went into a bar to celebrate the Presidential election and noticed a man sitting there with a Romney button on his lapel. The union man told the bar-tender, “Drinks for everyone but not the Republican.” The Republican waved to the union man and gave him a big smile. This happened again when the union man bought another round of drinks and excluded the

Republican. “What’s wrong with him?” the union man asked the bartender. “He keeps smiling and waving at me.” The bartender said, “He owns the bar.” Quips from the quick: Funny, I don’t remember being absent minded. If all is not lost, where is it? It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere. Here is a turkey recipe that includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing ingredient. It’s perfect for people who are not sure how to tell when a turkey is thoroughly cooked but not dried out. 8 to 15 lb. Turkey 1 cup melted butter 1 cup stuffing (Pep-peridge Farm is good) 1 cup un-popped popcorn (Orville Redenbacher’s low fat is best)

salt/pepper to taste Preheat oven to 350 de-grees. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. After about 4 hours, lis-ten for popping sounds. When the turkey blows the oven door open and the bird flies across the room, it’s done. ■

Laughter: Best Medicine

By Natalie Shamley My Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She recovered from surgery, but one year later, she had surgery again. She was 64. Grandma passed away in 2006, and Mom had two strokes the day after the funeral. I took her to see a neurologist who said she would never be able to live on her own. We had the diagnosis we had been dreading. Mom had dementia. She currently is in an assisted living facility in Loveland, only about 7 blocks from my home. We try to keep her life stress free to slow the process of the demen-tia. She is doing great and loves where she is living. We were very fortunate that she had purchased a long-term care policy while she was healthy. I hope this story will encour-age you to look at long-term care

insurance for you and your loved ones. Mom now lives where she can get the best care, and we do not need to worry about how to pay for it. If she had waited just 6 months longer to purchase the policy, she would not have been insur-able because of the cancer. If you would like to discuss long-term care insurance, I suggest you con-tact Kevin Dunnigan at 970-622-2366.
