BY DAVID PITTThe Associated Press

The numbers show that times are still tough finan-cially.

More workers are taking money from their 401(k) accounts early and using the hardship withdrawal rules to give them access to needed cash. The lingering high unemployment rate and slew of home foreclosures have been major factors.

The most frequently cited reason for hardship withdraw-als last year was to avoid a home eviction or foreclosure.

Because hardship withdraw-als require the worker to pay taxes and a 10 percent pen-alty on the money taken out, it should be viewed as a last resort, said Cheryl Krueger, an actuary and financial advis-

er with Schaumburg, Ill.-based Growing Fortunes Financial Partners.

“Is this something you really ought to be considering,” she said workers need to ask themselves.

HARDSHIP DEFINED

The Internal Revenue Service, which oversees col-lecting taxes on retirement funds, defines a hardship as an immediate and heavy finan-cial need.

It also makes clear the work-er must have exhausted other financial resources first. That includes bank loans and tap-ping the assets of a spouse and even minor children.

The IRS classifies six expenses as hardships and most plans follow these guide-lines when considering wheth-

er a request meets the imme-diate and heavy need require-ment. They include certain medical expenses, the cost of buying a family’s principal home, college costs, payments to avoid eviction or foreclo-sure, burial expenses, and cer-tain expenses for the repair of damage to the employee’s principal residence.

HOW IT WORKS

An employee seeking to take a hardship withdrawal will need to contact the person in their company responsible for managing the 401(k) program. There will be an application process during which the worker will have to demon-strate the hardship. In the case of a home foreclosure, for example, the bank docu-ments will need to be provided

including the amount owed.The worker also will need

to demonstrate other borrow-ing and resources have been tapped and the withdrawal is the last resort.

Employees considering a hardship withdrawal need to review the rules of their com-pany’s plan because they can differ from one company to another.

THE DOWNSIDE

In addition to the taxes and penalties, early withdrawals mean the account balance has been immediately reduced and removed the ability of that money to work over time.

Accountholders will likely be prohibited from contribut-ing money to the account for six months after taking the withdrawal, further cutting into what’s accumulated.

401k hardship withdrawals require serious thought

SIOUX CITY – Joyce Kaiser has two goals she’s set for herself.

First, the resident of Prime Assisted Living Apartments wants to walk from Sioux City to Davenport and back. Second, she doesn’t want to leave home to do it.

“It’s about 500 miles between Sioux City and Davenport,” Kaiser explained, consulting a map that hangs on the assisted-living facil-ity’s dining room wall. “Since July, I’ve been walking down hallways and walking the downtown area for a total of 166 miles.”

At the beginning of September, that put her at the equivalent of Webster, Iowa, in terms of miles covered.

“Pretty good, huh?” Kaiser said, smiling. “I didn’t have to get on the highway and fight rush-hour traffic or anything.”

A 57-year-old Archer, Iowa, native, Kaiser had long battled weight and health problems.

“I was getting sick of feeling sorry for myself,” she said. “Instead of having my tail up in the air, I decid-ed to do something about it.”

Working with Prime Assisted Living activities director Jessica Thiel, Kaiser devised an exercise plan whereby she’d tally the total number of miles she walked, enter-ing it onto a map of the Hawkeye State.

“Yes, I hit the road at Highway 20 to see where it would take me,” Kaiser said jokingly. “I haven’t

looked back since.”Along the way, Kaiser’s picked up

some like-minded travelers.Specifically, fellow Prime Living

residents Betty Carter, Connie Caces, Linda Brinkert and Betty Bobier are

joining Kaiser on her simulated trip across the state.

“Ladies like traveling in packs,” Kaiser said of her crew, which includes women ranging in age from mid-50s to mid-80s. “That never

changes no matter how old you get.”According to Thiel, organizing a

support team is an excellent way to keep fit.

“They can walk together or go at their own pace,” she said. “As long as

they keep attainable goals, the ladies can make exercise fun and a part of their daily routine.”

For instance, Bobier and Carter (both in their early 80s) always travel together, walking the hallways after each meal.

Caces – a native of Hawaii and, at 85, the group’s elder stateswoman – charts the distance she travels shop-ping at an Asian food market more than a mile away.

“Connie’s amazing,” enthused Prime Living director Jean Parrish. “I have a bad back and she taught me how to walk without aggravating it.”

“You gotta walk like a turtle, with your feet placed squarely on the ground,” Caces said. “If you walk like a turtle, you will soon be able to run like a gazelle.”

Brinkert enjoys the supportive nature of the informal group of walk-ers.

“Exercise is more fun when you’re doing it with friends,” the 60-some-thing observed.

Yet no one is more enthusiastic than Kaiser, the group’s leader.

“Am I gonna make it across the state of Iowa?” she asks with a mischievous grin. “Sure I am. Will I be able to walk all the way back? Absolutely.”

But Kaiser said this is just the beginning for her and her fellow long-distance walkers.

“Who knows what state we’ll choose to walk next?” she said, glancing over to her map. “California? Texas? I’d love to walk to Hawaii if I didn’t think I’d drown.”

BY MATT SEDENSKYThe Associated Press

Day after day, Hazel Eng sat on her couch, a blank stare on her face. The powerful antipsychotics she was taking often cloaked her in sedation. And when they didn’t, the 89-year-old lashed out at her nursing home’s aides with such anger and frequency her daughter wondered if her moth-er would be better off dead.

Until, in a matter of days, every-thing seemed to change.

Eng’s daughter, Jean Lynch, says her mother was moved to a different section of the Ecumen home in North Branch, Minn., and taken off every drug but her daily aspirin. She now beams as she ambles the hallways, reads the newspaper, tells stories and constantly laughs.

“Now I hope she lives till she’s 200 years old,” Lynch said. “She’s just so happy.”

Antipsychotics are meant pri-marily to help control hallucina-tions, delusions and other abnormal behavior in people suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but they’re also given to hundreds of thousands of elderly nursing home patients in the U.S. to pacify aggres-sive and paranoid behavior related to dementia.

The drugs can limit seniors’ ability to effectively communicate, socialize or participate in everyday life. But a series of warnings has prompted a movement of nursing homes trying to reduce the decades-old practice, often resulting in remarkably posi-tive changes.

Still, doctors say the drugs are sometimes the only things that help the small number of demen-tia patients that display psychotic behavior, making them a danger to themselves and others.

Ecumen’s three-year-old program

called “Awakenings” isn’t just about reducing drugs. Personalized care plans use exercise, aromatherapy, pets and other methods. Patients who were sedated and detached are now playing video games, listening to music and playing balloon volleyball.

“It was quiet before but now it’s not,” said Eva Lanigan, a nurse who piloted Ecumen’s program. “Life is going on here again.”

A government audit released in May looked at Medicare payments for atypical antipsychotics, as a newer class of the drugs is known, and found in a six-month period that was analyzed in 2007, about one in seven nursing home patients aged 65

or older had been prescribed them. Some 83 percent of Medicare claims for such drugs were for off-label purposes such as dementia, the audit found.

Since 2005, atypical antipsychotics have been under an FDA warning alerting doctors they could increase the risk of death in patients with dementia due to heart attacks or pneumonia. The most common atypi-cal antipsychotics are sold under the brand names Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon, Abilify and Invega.

An older class of the drugs, known as typical antipsychotics, was added to the FDA warning three years later.

The warnings did not apply to other medicines widely used in nursing homes, such as the antide-pressants Prozac and Paxil, and the anti-anxiety medicines Xanax and Valium.

Still, off-label use of antipsychot-ics has continued to be widespread. Some see it as a crutch, used to quiet seniors’ outbursts or mask difficult personalities, though many others say it’s the only pharmaceutical option to treat a patient with a cadre of behavioral problems.

“Give someone enough medica-tions, you don’t have to worry about them wandering around or cursing or fighting,” said Dr. Karl Dhana, medical director at MorseLife, which

operates a nursing home in West Palm Beach, Fla.

For several years, MorseLife has done quarterly reviews of any patient on an antipsychotic, antide-pressant or sedative to see if such medication is necessary. At the start, around a quarter of patients were on such drugs. Dhana said the rate is now around 14 percent.

But the shift hasn’t been without challenges. There are no FDA-approved drugs for behavioral prob-lems related to dementia. Nursing home patients today are often sicker and showing more signs of behavior problems than in years past.

Dr. Jason Karlawish, a fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute on Aging, said he uses antipsychotics in only about 5 per-cent of his dementia patients. But sometimes they’re the only thing that helps, such as with a woman he treated who was showing clear signs of psychoses, convinced that her house was on fire.

She attacked caregivers, tore pic-tures off the wall, wouldn’t eat or be bathed. When she was put on an anti-psychotic, the symptoms subsided, Karlawish said.

“There is a role for these drugs,” he said.

Cobble Hill Health Center, a Brooklyn nursing home, began a pro-gram several years back to reduce such drugs, but the home’s medical

director, Dr. Louis Mudannayake still remembers the doomsday prediction of one nurse.

“She said, ‘Lou, you’re crazy! We’re going to have all the patients strip-ping,” he recalled.

Cobble Hill has cut the number of patients on antipsychotics from about 30 percent to less than 15 percent, and the nurse’s predic-tions never came true. The staff has learned to help patients avoid outbursts without pills. The solution is often simple: Asking before enter-ing a room, serving a meal earlier or putting on a favorite Nat King Cole album.

Private “old age homes” began cropping up after Social Security was established in 1935 and by the 1950s, antipsychotic drugs were commonplace and remained so for decades. Some estimated as many as 85 percent of nursing home patients were being given antipsychotics before the Nursing Home Reform Law was passed in 1987.

The use of such drugs was reduced – by around one-third, by some esti-mates – after the law, but then began to increase again once new antipsy-chotics were introduced in the 1990s.

The FDA’s warning on the drugs led to nursing homes again rethink-ing their use of antipsychotics. Dr. Izchak Kohen, a geriatric psychia-

trist for North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, surveyed nursing homes across the coun-try and found 39.1 percent had decreased their use of the drugs since the warning.

Spending by Medicaid – the largest payer of nursing home care in the U.S. – also indicates a shift. For all age groups, in the 2006 fiscal year, antipsychotics drug bills totaled about $7.9 billion for Medicaid. The following year, it dropped to about $4.9 billion. Spending in 2008, the lat-est year for which data is available, totaled about $3.7 billion.

However, the increasing use of generics may have also helped bring the dollar figure down. The addition of the Medicare prescription drug program, for which some Medicaid patients are also eligible, is also believed to have drawn down the spending figure.

It may be difficult to reduce the use of antipsychotics further, Kohen said, because there aren’t alternative drugs. Kohen said he continues to have to prescribe the drugs in cer-tain cases, particularly for elderly dementia patients who are paranoid or aggressive.

“Until we come up with better treatments, I think we’re going to have to use them,” he said.

Nicole Brandt, a pharmacist who teaches geriatric pharmacotherapy at the University of Maryland and has lectured on antipsychotic use, said low doses of the drugs can sometimes help a dementia patient who is agitated, delusional or hal-lucinating. But sometimes, she said the drugs are used to treat anxiety, depression or sleep problems, for which they’re not helpful.

“There are times when you have to wonder if an antipsychotic is the best treatment,” Brandt said. “There may be a safer alternative.”

Eng, a retired department store worker with advanced Alzheimer’s disease, continues to thrive without the drugs, her daughter says. Teeth grinding that started when she was on the medications, has gone away, and she’s again able to feed herself finger foods.

More than anything, though, Lynch says she can tell her mother is happy again. She sees it in her face.

Well, here it is October and time for one of the best holi-days of the year – Halloween. I used to love this spooky holiday but today it seems Halloween isn’t the same as it was when I was a kid. Maybe it’s just me and my get-ting older but in reality Halloween has been changing since it first began.

In researching the history of Halloween I found it’s a mix of ritu-als and traditions that are centuries old. It’s a time of celebration and supersti-tion. The ancient Celts believed Halloween was a time when the dead could return to earth. They would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward of wandering ghosts. But by the 19th century Halloween began to change and evolve into a children’s holiday.

Way back when I was a kid Halloween meant dressing up in a costume and those costumes didn’t come from a store like most do today. They were made at home. Some of those getups served us kids during the rest of the year too. One year I went as a cowboy and wore the hat and cap gun on a daily basis and sometimes slept in. Another time I put on an old sheet and cut two holes for eyes and went as a ghost. Although dressing up was fun the best part of Halloween

trick or treating was getting candy and plenty of it. The Halloween I remember most happened when I was about 12;

when I decided I was too old for such child-ish things.

One morning at breakfast as the big night approached, my mother asked what I was going to be when I went out trick or treat-ing. I replied, “That’s kid’s stuff, Mom. I’m too old for that.” She looked at me like she couldn’t believe what

she just heard. “Excuse me?” she asked. “Did you say what I thought you said?”

“I’ll just stay home,” I said as I shoveled in my oatmeal. “It’s no big deal.” I didn’t realize how wrong I was.

The talk around school before Halloween was what everyone was wearing. When someone would ask me that popular question I’d simply reply I was through with those childish things. My friends gave me the same look my mother did. Oh well, I thought, they’re just chil-dren.

That Halloween night I was about to settle in for an eve-ning of Captain Video and His Video Rangers when my mother walked into the living room with a large bowl. “Here’s the candy for the kids,” she said dropping

the bowl in my lap. “I’ll turn the porch light on.”

OK, I thought, this won’t be tough. Just then the doorbell rang. I grabbed the bowl and went to the door. A couple of little kids stood there looking up at me while a woman who was obviously their mother watched from a few feet away. “Trick or Treat!” they shouted. I dropped some candy in each bag and heard their mother loudly whis-per, “What do you say?” “Thank you!” they shouted in unison.

As the evening wore on I began to realize something was changing. I’m sure at the time I didn’t know exactly what it was. But from then on things were going to be different.

Since that Halloween night I’ve come to understand that was a major milestone in my life. I left one stage of my life behind and was moved into another. A portion of my child-hood was gone and would never return. It was sad but exciting at the same time.

As Halloween approaches I think back to that time long ago and secretly wish I could go back and be a kid again dressed in a homemade costume and eat-ing too much candy.

Of course that’s not to be but maybe if I can find an old sheet and cut some holes for eyes...

BY TERRY TURNERPrime staff writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Just outside of Nashville is the home of our nation’s seventh president Andrew Jackson. The home along with the 1,120-acre plantation known collectively as The Hermitage was saved from ruin by “The Ladies Hermitage Association” in 1889. While touring the home and grounds visitors can feel what it must have been like to live there in the early 1800s and better understand the impact Andrew Jackson had on our young nation.

The story of Andrew Jackson begins on March 15, 1767, although his place of birth is somewhat of a mystery. Jackson claimed to have been born in South Carolina but many believe that assertion was made for political reasons. But most historians believe he was born in either Waxhaw, N.C., or Lancaster, S.C. In real-ity the lines between the two states had not been drawn at the time of his birth.

He was born to Scotch-Irish immi-grant parents Andrew Jackson, Sr. and Elizabeth “Betty” Hutchinson who came from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland in 1765. Jackson was to become the first U.S. president not born an aristocrat. As a child

Jackson received little in the way of formal education but in his late teens he studied law for about two years and became a successful lawyer in Tennessee.

At a very young age Jackson and his brother Robert joined the Continental Army dur-ing the Revolutionary War and they both served as couriers. At one point in the war Andrew and his brother were captured by the British. When Andrew refused to shine the boots of one of the British officers he was struck with a saber injuring his hand and forehead. After that incident Jackson devel-oped a hatred for the British that remained with him for the rest of his life. While in the army the brothers came down with smallpox and although Andrew survived Robert died of the disease.

Jackson continued to serve in the army rising in the ranks and becom-ing a national hero fol-lowing his defeat of the British in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Because of his tough-ness in battle Jackson became known as “Old Hickory.” A few years later in 1819 he became Florida’s military gover-nor. He began his politi-cal career as the first man from Tennessee to be elected to the House of Representatives. He later served briefly in the Senate.

Jackson prospered enough during this time to buy slaves and build a mansion, the Hermitage near Nashville. The man-sion at the Hermitage was built between 1819 and 1821 and is a brick Federal Style house. The house originally contained four rooms on each of the two floors and two wide center halls.

In 1831 while Jackson was president he hired architect David Morrison to renovate the home. Morrison added one-story wings on each side, a two-story entrance portico with ten Doric columns, along with a small rear portico. The east wing contained a library and office and the west

wing had a large din-ing room and pantry. A new kitchen and smokehouse were added behind the now 13-room home.

Jackson ran for the presidency in 1824 and although he received more popu-lar and electoral votes than any of the other candidates he didn’t receive a majority of either one. Therefore the election was decided by the House of Representative who surprisingly awarded the office to John Quincy Adams. Not being one to give up easily Jackson ran again for president in 1828 and won by a large majority.

Jackson’s time as president was not without controversy. During the campaign against John Quincy Adams for the elec-tion in 1828 opponents of Jackson pointed out when Jackson and Rachel Robards got married she was still in the process of divorcing her husband Col. Lewis Robards. In reality it was after the marriage the couple discovered the divorce wasn’t final and separated until that process was complete. Then they were legally married. But that didn’t matter to Adams’

supporters and they spread gossip about the couple. Rachel died on December 22, 1828, just six weeks after Andrew Jackson was elected to the presidency. She was 61. Jackson blamed Adams for her death and never forgave him.

In 1834 tragedy struck Andrew Jackson again when a fire heavi-ly damaged the mansion at the Hermitage and a second remodeling was done. The entrance to the home was made to look like a Greek tem-ple with six two-story columns across the front porch. The remod-eling was completed in time for Jackson’s return from Washington following his second term as president.

Today visitors to the Hermitage can get a guided tour of the man-sion and get an audio guided tour of the more than 40 sites around the grounds that include Andrew and Rachel Jackson’s tomb, a cabin belonging to Jackson’s slave Uncle Alfred and Rachel’s garden.

Also on the grounds is a visitor center, café and museum store.

A tour guide waits at the front door of Andrew Jackson’s home.

IF YOU GOThe Hermitage, 4580 Rachel’s Lane, is just out-side Nashville, Tenn. The mansion and grounds are open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 16-March 31, and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. the rest of the year. Admission is $18 for adults, $15 for seniors, $12 for student ages 13-18, $8 for children 6-12 and free for active military and children under 6.For more information about the Hermitage visit their website at www.the-hermitage.com
