ilacs are my favorite
flower. My parents have
a lilac bush in their
front yard that I loved as a
teenager. The first apartment
my husband and I shared was
blessed with several trees that
exploded with fragrant blossoms in the spring. When we
moved, I knew that they were
what I would miss most.
So when I realized that a
planned trip to Rochester,
NY, nearly coincided with the
city's Lilac Festival, I was over
the moon. The annual event
takes place in the Frederick
Law Olmsted-designed Highland Park, and the lilacs cover
an entire hillside. This I had to
see, and smell.
Lilacs aside, Rochester takes
its Flower City nickname,
thanks to a booming nursery
business, to heart. (It had previously been Flour City be__________________

computer chip. It's embedded in one of her pills and
roughly the size of a grain of
sand. When it hits her stomach, it transmits a signal to
her tablet computer indicating that she has successfully
taken her heart and thyroid
medications.
"See," said Snodgrass, checking her online profile page.
With a few swipes she brings

The pill just jumped onto the

Anonymous Donor Offers $50,000 to
Match Contributions to Yates
Community Endowment Disaster
Relief Fund
Article Submitted
The New York Eagle News/RACF
T
he Yates Community Endowment’s Disaster Relief Fund
has received two gifts totaling
$50,000 from an anonymous donor
who wants to help households and
businesses hit hardest by the flash
floods in Penn Yan and the surrounding area in mid-May.
These gifts from a Yates County
business owner will provide a dollar-
for-dollar match for contributions to
the Disaster Relief Fund. This effort is
in addition to the fund’s initial challenge grant offered by the Nord Family Foundation, which is matching
contributions up to $15,000.
The Disaster Relief Fund was established at Rochester Area Community
Foundation, home of the Yates Community Endowment, to quickly respond to those affected by the severe
flooding in Yates County.
“These extremely generous matching gifts are providing more options
for Yates County residents and others
to support neighbors and businesses
whose lives and livelihoods have been
turned upside down since the flooding occurred,” says Katie Nord Peterson, co-chair of the Yates Community
Endowment.
Joy Benson, regional coordinator at
the Community Foundation, believes
that these matching incentives are an
effective way to encourage more donations. “It is just awesome when the
pieces come together like this. Generous people, with good hearts were
given an avenue through the Yates
Community Endowment to help
those who really need it the most —
right now.”

Graydon N. Swanson
Canandaigua, NY – Graydon N.
Swanson, age 64, passed away May 26,
2014. He is survived by his wife of 36
years, Nancy (Becker) Swanson; children, Christina Swanson of Boston,
MA and Neil Swanson of Canadice;
brother Gaylord (Alison) Swanson of
Clarksville; and niece Stacey Swanson
of Albany. Graydon was a US Navy
Veteran, a loving husband and caring
father. He will be remembered for his
warm and wonderful sense of humor.
Graydon was born on September
26th, 1949 to parents Lois and Oscar Swanson of Frewsburg, NY. Early
on he had diverse interests, enjoying
everything from music and tap dancing to car repair, shooting and a bit of
pyromania. Graydon attended Frewsburg High School where he ran track
and was part of the debate team. He is
most remembered in high school for
helping his friend Jim, who was partially handicapped from Polio, move
from class to class.
Graydon attended The College at
Brockport earning a degree in Earth
Science. Afterwards, he had hoped to
complete a doctorate in geology, but
ended up joining the United States
Navy during the Vietnam War. Graydon served 14 years in the US Navy as
a Supply Corp officer. The Navy took
him to many exciting places including tours in Egypt, the Philippines,
Antarctica and Italy. From these travels, he collected many stories and a
couple treasures.
By far the best treasure that Graydon “collected” on his journey was
his wife Nancy Swanson. Graydon
and Nancy met early on at the edge of
the Erie Canal just a few months after
he had graduated from college. Nancy
had a term paper to write on the canal. Graydon was working on the ca-
nal for a few months. A conversation
began. A double date was suggested.
A spark was stirred. And six years
later, marriage was proposed.
While life bumped happily along
for a while, the quiet was not to last.
At the age of 30, Graydon was out
running on the track and his left leg
gave out. This happened again and
again. He mentioned it to his doctor,
who referred him to a Neurologist.
Without the modern day MRIs, six
years passed before the doctors could
confirm he had Multiple Sclerosis
(MS). While MS would eventually
steal his mobility, his independence,
and eventually his life, it was this
grave struggle that also highlighted
Nancy and Graydon’s strength as a
couple and as individuals.
During this time, Graydon and
Nancy raised two children, Neil
Swanson of Springwater, NY and
Christina Swanson of Boston, MA.
Although struggling with the symptoms of his disease and his decreasing
mobility, Graydon dutifully took care
of the children while Nancy worked
full-time for the US Navy. He helped
them write books, complete homework, build tree forts and learn how
to swim. He even learned how to
braid hair! But as Graydon’s condition worsened, the tables turned and
Nancy, Christina and Neil began to
care for him. During his final years,
Nancy cared for him daily in their
home demonstrating the meaning
of unconditional love. Together they
remained optimistic and faced the
hardships of the disease with humor
and love.
As a loyal husband, a loving father,
and a Naval veteran, Graydon N.
Swanson will be dearly missed.
31, 2014, at the Canadice Methodist
Church, Canadice, NY. Pastor Juls
Foos and Chaplain Pamula Royal officiated. Burial with full military honors was set for Canadice Hill Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be
made to the Canadice Hill Cemetery

The World
Remembering Andrei Mironov,
the Interpreter Who Tried to Save Russia
By Kathy Lally and Will
Englund
The New York Eagle News/The
Washington Post
W
e met Andrei Mironov in
Moscow in the summer of
1991, just before the coup
that helped speed the Soviet Union toward destruction.
When he died at age 60 last weekend, caught in a mortar attack in
eastern Ukraine, Andrei was widely
identified as an interpreter. He was so
much more.
Andrei represented the very best of
Russia and its people, and the authorities despised him for it. The story of
his life embodies the struggle for human rights and democracy that Soviet
dissidents set off nearly 50 years ago.
Andrei grew up in the Soviet
Union, but he was never a Soviet
man. He thought for himself and did
as he saw right. One mutual friend, a
Muscovite, called him the only truly
honest Russian man he had ever met.
Andrei was gentle and fearless — with
a resolve that gleamed of pure steel.
He taught himself English and Italian
and often worked as a "fixer" for journalists, helping them navigate terrain
and language. Those jobs financed his
human rights efforts.
We had arrived in Moscow as correspondents for the Baltimore Sun a
few weeks before the coup of Aug. 19,
1991. Our predecessor, Scott Shane,
introduced us to Andrei, who had
been among the last of the Soviet political prisoners. He was arrested and

cause of the flour mills that once lined
the Genesee River.) The city promotes
its many gardens. After a long winter,
I felt that a round of garden-hopping
would be the best way to spend my
one free day in town.
I set off from my bed-and-breakfast
in the Park Avenue neighborhood —
"our Greenwich Village," someone at
the airport tourism booth had told
me — for the George Eastman House.
Eastman was the founder of Kodak
and, as you might expect, his mansion and gardens are picture-perfect.
Upon arriving, I learn that I'm two
hours early for the garden tour, so I
make a beeline for the year-round
Rochester Public Market.
Vendors here sell produce of all
varieties, clothing, cellphone cases,
kitchen tools. Even if you don't intend
to buy anything, you probably will. I
pick up some grape twists (a la Twizzlers) from a local farm. And a hot
doughnut, a concession to the Flour
City moniker.

tried for anti-Soviet behavior in 1985,
as the Mikhail Gorbachev era was
beginning. Sentenced to seven years,
he was released after 1 1/2 years in
the gulag when the West pressured
Gorbachev to free a group of political prisoners. Neither the KGB nor
the most brutal gulag guards could
bend or break him. That's what they
hated. A Ukrainian dissident who
served time with Andrei in the gulag
once told us that the guards singled
out Andrei for the nastiest treatment
Back at the Eastman House, I take
the self-guided cellphone audio tour
before the garden tour begins. Completed in 1905 the mansion is a looker, one that reflects the refined taste
of its owner. Famed architectural firm
McKim, Mead and White designed
the interior. The glass-enclosed palm
house held Eastman's exotic-plant
collection, and he liked to entertain
in the airy two-story conservatory.
In stark contrast: the library, a small,
intimate space lined with gorgeously
bound books.
At the foot of the grand staircase,
our tour group of three meets docent Michael Bellavia. He tells us that
when guests arrived for Eastman's
soirees, the men would be taken into
the house one way and the women
another. Then the women would
form a procession down the staircase,
and Eastman would pin a corsage on
each one, probably consisting of a
flower he'd grown himself. Classy.

because he was impervious to their
routine punishments.
The coup plotters were intent on
keeping the Soviet Union together,
and Andrei told us matter-of-factly
that he was sure the KGB would soon
be at his door to arrest him. He did
not want to compromise his friends
and contacts by allowing his address
book to fall into KGB hands. He
asked us to take it and hide it for him.
We were nervous. The KGB had its
eye on foreign journalists, too, and we
were new and inexperienced. Andrei
— slight, ever-smiling — assumed
we would help, just as he would help
anyone who asked. All we could say
was yes.
He brought the address book over to
our apartment in one of the buildings
where the authorities segregated foreigners, a short walk from his apartment near Mayakovsky Square. We
hid it deep in a closet. Then we went
out on the streets with him, to the
Russian White House. We watched
as the tanks that were trained on Boris Yeltsin and his supporters turned
their guns away. The coup plotters
gave up two days later. We returned
the address book.
We worked in Moscow for much of
the 1990s and returned in the fall of
2010 as Washington Post correspondents, an assignment we finished in
May. Andrei called us to say farewell the night before our departure.
He and Kathy had spent a few days
together in Kiev in March, after he
finished up an assignment with a Post
correspondent in Crimea. Now he
was about to return to Ukraine with
Andy Rocchelli, a 30-year-old Italian
photojournalist.
Andy was a freelancer with more
idealism than finances. That resonated with Andrei, who was immersed
in a world of ideals. He wanted to
help Andy tell the stories he thought
the world needed to know. He was
oblivious to the physical world and its
comforts; he had set off to Crimea in
March with one pair of pants. When
a seam ripped, he paid no attention.
Andrei devoted his entire adult life
to the struggle for democracy and human rights in the Soviet Union and
then Russia. When he heard stories
of injustice, he alerted journalists,
helpful agencies or sympathetic officials, persisting until wrong was
righted. When demonstrators turned
out in the streets of Moscow to protest rigged elections in December
2011, Andrei was sure that the larger
change he had worked for so hard
was underway. He was often arrested
at demonstrations. He concluded that
the police were attracted by his Afghan pakol hat. Andrei wore it anyway.
Ukrainian officials confirmed May
24th that Andrei and Andy died near
the village of Andreyevka, not far
from Slovyansk, which armed separatists seized in April. The details are
unclear, but Russian media have reported that they were killed by shells
launched by pro-Ukrainian "fascists."
Andrei would not have called the
Ukrainian side fascist. He was electrified by the Maidan movement, which
began with protests at Independence
Square in Kiev in November. Andrei
saw the courage of the Ukrainian
demonstrators as a model and inspiration for Russia, where Putin had
stamped down the democratic movement. He disapproved of the far right
in Ukraine but saw it as a marginalized minority.
He was curious about everything.
After getting out of the army, his love
of books led him to samizdat — forbidden literature secretly reproduced
by dissidents in typewritten copies.
He came to the attention of the KGB
when he showed too much interest in
foreigners and their work at international book fairs. He could identify
just about any piece of aircraft or military hardware and describe its properties. He predicted the demise of the
Soviet Union, based on its dependence on oil revenue and price trajectory. He seemed to know something
about everything and adored playing
with our cats.
More than 20 years ago, Andrei
introduced Will to a scientist who
wanted to expose Russia's continuing
development of chemical weapons.
Eventually, the scientist, Vil Mirzayanov, was charged with divulging state
secrets, and the agency now known as
the Federal Security Service brought
Will in for questioning.
Under Russian law, Will could bring
his own interpreter. He chose Andrei,
the former political prisoner who had
no fear of persecutors. Andrei translated the questions of the interrogator, Capt. Viktor Shkarin, then explained with each one what Shkarin
was hoping to hear and advised Will
on how to avoid falling into his traps.
Later, when Russian officials were
looking for a way to drop the case
because of international pressure,
Andrei insisted on testifying in the
closed-door trial and denounced
Shkarin's written distortions of Will's
answers in the interrogation. Mirzayanov was released later that day and
now lives in New Jersey.
Andrei was determined to bear witness to Russian atrocities in Chechnya. He and Will spent a couple of
weeks traveling through Afghanistan
as Taliban rule collapsed in 2001. He
agitated against corrupt political leaders looking to destroy historic build-
ings in Moscow and get rich through
shady development deals. A decade
ago, he was badly beaten outside the
room he shared with his brother in a
communal apartment. It looked as if
he might die or live with permanent
brain damage. Friends raised the
money to send him to Germany for
treatment, and he recovered.
Svetlana Gannushkina, a human
rights activist who has been considered a favorite for the Nobel Peace
Prize, described Andrei as a "murdered man with a crystal clear soul,
absolute unselfishness, a boundless
uncompromising sense of justice,
kindness and an amazing faith in
goodness."
Andrei had been transformed forever by his imprisonment and torture in those last days of the Soviet
Union. He always said the experience
had made him strong. Amazingly, it
did not make him bitter or diminish
his faith in goodness. In a 2011 Irish
radio documentary, he told another
friend, Seamus Martin, that his interrogators turned him over to "specially
trained thugs" in prison. They told
him they were preparing to kill him
and ordered him to write a letter saying he'd committed suicide.
"I refused, of course, and then they
made a rope from a towel. Two of
them took my hands so I couldn't resist, and another one started to strangle me," he said. "Just before I fainted,
I felt relief, strangely enough, and I
lost hate towards those guys, because
I felt they are weak and I am strong. .
. . When I regained consciousness, I
saw their faces — they were extremely
scared . . . and I was not. After that,
I realized they had no more instruments to manipulate me."
Time and again Andrei had risked
his life to bear witness to wrong. Over
the weekend, he gave his final testament.

FDA Review of Sunscreen Ingredients
Languishes, Frustrating Advocates
By Brady Dennis
The New York Eagle News/ The
Washington Post
T
he tourists flocking to the
French Riviera or Spain's
Costa del Sol this summer
will slather on sunscreen containing
the latest ingredients for protecting
against the sun's most harmful ultraviolet rays.
But American beachgoers will have
to make do with sunscreens that
dermatologists and cancer-research
groups say are less effective and have
changed little over the past decade.
That's because applications for the
newer sunscreen ingredients have
languished for years in the bureaucracy of the Food and Drug Administration, which must approve the
products before they reach consumers.
"We have a system here that's completely broken down, and everybody
knows that it has broken down," said
Wendy Selig, president of the Melanoma Research Alliance, the largest
private funder of melanoma research.
Her group and others, along with
dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers, have joined forces to make
a public push for the FDA to approve
at least some of the backlogged applications.
The agency has not expanded its list
of approved sunscreen ingredients
since 1999. Eight ingredient applications are currently pending, some
dating to 2003. Many of the ingredients are designed to provide broader
protection from certain types of UV
rays and were approved years ago in
Europe, Asia, South America and
elsewhere.
The FDA noted that U.S. consumers "have access to a great number
of sunscreen products," but said in
a statement to The Washington Post
that it recognizes the public health
The Food and Drug Administration announced new rules in 2011 about sunscreen labeling. Sunscreens

prevent sunburn. (Courtesy of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
importance of sunscreen and has prioritized its review of the long-pending applications. The agency said "it is
proceeding as quickly as practicable
given available review resources and
competing public health responsibilities."
In the meantime, advocates for
newer sunscreens have grown increasingly frustrated.
"These sunscreens are being used by
tens of millions of people every weekend in Europe, and we're not seeing
anything bad happening," said Darrell Rigel, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University and
past president of the American Academy of Dermatologists. "It's sort of
crazy. . . . We're depriving ourselves of
something the rest of the world has."
Even some FDA officials have expressed frustration about how the
applications have become mired in a
complex regulatory regime, adopted
more than a decade ago, that was
originally intended to simplify approvals for over-the-counter products
used in other countries for at least five
years.
"This is a very intractable problem.
I think, if possible, we are more frustrated than the manufacturers and
you all are about this situation," Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told lawmakers in November
when asked about the agency's sluggish over-the-counter reviews.
Part of the hold-up, she said, is that
the agency must undertake a lengthy
rule-writing process before it can add
to the list of active ingredients approved for sunscreens. In addition,
the FDA has found some applications
lacking in safety data. And differing
standards mean that an ingredient
considered safe in Canada or Japan,
for example, might not automatically
get a thumbs-up from U.S. regulators.
Since last year, a group of dermatologists, sunscreen ingredient companies such as BASF and advocacy
groups such as the Prevent Cancer
Foundation have lobbied lawmakers and rallied public support for
changes to the approval process. In
March, a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress introduced legislation aimed at speeding up the FDA
reviews. The FDA itself had planned
a public meeting later that month to
Arnold & Benton
Agency, Inc.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
seek input about overhauling its process for evaluating over-the-counter
products.
Selig, of the Melanoma Research
Alliance, noted that the FDA has approved multiple new treatments in
recent years for melanoma, the most
deadly type of skin cancer, which kills
nearly 10,000 Americans each year. If
patients deserve access to the latest
advancements in treating a disease,
she said, why not also allow them
access to every possible product that
could help prevent it?
"We're basically saying that the
American people should make do
with what was the most innovative
science from 10 to 12 years ago," she
said. "Ask someone if they want to
buy automobile technology from 12
years ago, or computer technology
from 12 years ago."
Both UVA and UVB types of ultraviolet radiation from the sun can
contribute to skin damage, premature
aging and cancer. While UVB light
primarily is responsible for causing
sunburn, UVA rays penetrate the skin
more deeply, potentially damaging
cells and contributing to the development of skin cancers.
In the United States, the UVA filters
most commonly found in sunscreen
include chemicals such as oxybenzone and avobenzone. Those ingredients are effective, dermatologists say,
but they either protect against only
certain UVA rays or break down too
quickly. Other UVA filters such as
zinc oxide don't break down as quickly but cover the skin in a white gunk
that only a lifeguard could like.
The pending applications at FDA
include chemical filters such as Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M and Mexoryl SX
(also known as ecamsule), which experts say offer stronger UVA protection and could allow manufacturers
to create sunscreen formulations that
last longer and feel better on consumers' skin, making them more likely to
use them.
L'Oreal received FDA approval
in 2006 to use ecamsule, which had
been approved in Europe in the early
1990s, in a handful of high-priced
U.S. products. But because those
products went through the traditional drug-approval process and were for
specific formulations, the company
can't currently expand the use of
ecamsule into other products.
Some doctors and industry officials
also worry that the FDA's failure to
act on the applications could chill future sunscreen innovations.
"It definitely hurts how we approach
development of new UV filters," said
Al Pearce, a personal care senior
marketing manager for BASF, which
owns several of the pending applications at FDA. "The U.S. market is one
of the largest markets in the world. If
it's not open to new innovation, it's
extremely limiting."
Even as the sunscreen ingredient
applications have remained in a regulatory purgatory, the FDA has taken
other action on sunscreens. In 2011, it
announced long-awaited rules meant
to cut back on misleading labels and
give consumers clearer information.
For instance, only products that
meet FDA standards for protecting
against both UVA and UVB rays can
be labeled as providing "broad spectrum" protection. In addition, the
new rules barred the use of the terms
"sun block," "sweatproof " and "waterproof," because the agency said such
claims overstate the effectiveness of
the sunscreens.
The agency said manufacturers
could label their products "water resistant" but also must say how long
the sunscreen remained effective in
water. It also proposed limiting the
maximum sun protection factor on
labels to "50+," saying there wasn't
sufficient data to show that products
with higher SPF values provide greater protection.
But when it comes to finally allowing new sunscreen ingredients to
reach the market, the wait continues
in the United States. Eleven months
ago, in a congressional hearing, FDA
Commissioner Margaret Hamburg
told lawmakers that sorting out the
sunscreen issue was "one of the highest priorities."
Rigel, the New York dermatologist,
hopes that's still true.
"I want the ultimate, perfect sunscreen for my patients," he said. "No
such perfect sunscreen exists yet. But
these ingredients would help us get
closer to that goal."

SMART PILLS FROM COVER
_________________________
is at the forefront of what many predict will be a revolution in medicine
powered by miniature chips, sensors,
cameras and robots with the ability to
access, analyze and manipulate your
body from the inside.
As the size and cost of chip technology has fallen dramatically over
the past few years, dozens of companies and academic research teams
are rushing to make ingestible or implantable chips that will help patients
track the condition of their bodies in
real time and in a level of detail that
they have never seen before.
Several have been approved by the
Food and Drug Administration, including a transponder containing a
person's medical history that is injected under the skin, a camera pill
that can search the colon for tumors,
and the technology, made by Proteus Digital Health, that Snodgrass
is using. That system is being used
to make sure older people take their
pills; it involves navigating a tablet
and wearing a patch, which some patients might find challenging.
Scientists are working on more
advanced prototypes. Nanosensors,
for example, would live in the bloodstream and send messages to smartphones whenever they saw signs of an
infection, an impending heart attack
or another issue — essentially serving
as early-warning beacons for disease.
Armies of tiny robots with legs, propellers, cameras and wireless guidance systems are being developed to
diagnose diseases, administer drugs
in a targeted manner and even perform surgery.
But while the technology may be
within reach, the idea of putting little
machines into the human body makes
some uncomfortable, and there are
numerous uncharted scientific, legal
and ethical questions that need to be
thought through.
What kind of warnings should users receive about the risks of implanting chip technology inside a body,
for instance? How will patients be
assured that the technology won't be
used to compel them to take medications they don't really want to take?
Could law enforcement obtain data
that would reveal which individuals
abuse drugs or sell them on the black
market? Could what started as a voluntary experiment be turned into a
compulsory government identification program that could erode civil
liberties?
In 2002, when silicon chips containing their medical records were
injected into some Alzheimer's patients, it was deeply unsettling to
privacy advocates. Several states subsequently passed legislation outlawing the forced implantations, and the
technology never took off.
Marc Rotenberg, executive director
of the Washington-based Electronic
Privacy Information Center, said he
worries about the coercive use of the
chips — whether they are implanted
for a few months or permanently, or
are swallowed and last in the body
only about a day.

"There's something very troubling
about a chip being placed in a person
that they can't remove," he said.
Proponents of the technology, however, say the devices could save countless lives and billions of dollars in unnecessary medical bills.
Eric Topol is the director of the
Scripps Translational Science Institute in La Jolla, California, and has
written a book about the digital revolution in health care. He said he believes the science is moving so quickly
that many of these gadgets will be
ready for commercial use within the
next five years.
"The way a car works is that it has
sensors and it tells you what's wrong.
Why not put the same type of technology in the body? It could warn you
weeks or months or even years before
something happens," Topol said.
The ingestible chip that Snodgrass
is using — it was the first smart pill
to be approved by the Food and Drug
Administration and the European
Union, in 2012 and 2010, respectively
— is still being tested by a handful of
doctors and hospitals, as the company
continues to refine its software. Proteus officials say they hope to make it
more widely available within the next
year.
Britain's National Health Service
has begun using the technology with
heart patients to figure out whether
it can increase compliance with prescribed medication. Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis has said it
would seek FDA clearance to use the
Proteus chips in the medications it
makes for transplant patients to minimize the chance of organ rejection.
In the United States, the focus has
been the elderly.
Made entirely of edible ingredients,
the one-square-millimeter chip has
copper on one side and magnesium
on the other, and it is activated when
it comes into contact with stomach
acids. It's used in conjunction with
a patch, which is shaped like a large
Band-Aid and worn on the torso. For
five minutes after being swallowed,
the chip sends out a unique 16-digit
code that is picked up by the patch,
which in turn beams the information
to a nearby smartphone or tablet —
where it can be shared via the Internet
with family members, doctors and
the company.
The patch contains additional
sensors that tracks things such as
temperature, heart rate, movement
(whether someone is standing, sitting
New VA Health
Program Draws
Praise from Vets
The spotlight on delayed medical care at
a number of Department of Veterans Affairs
medical centers has overshadowed some recent
good news about the VA's PACT program, its
method of providing personalized primary care.
PACT (Patient Aligned Care Teams) was
started in 2010 as a team approach to the wellness of individual veterans by using health
plans with care provided at clinics and online
via eHealth. Teams are made up of nurse care
managers, clinical associates, providers and
administrative associates, in tandem with nutritionists, social workers and pharmacists. Appointments with specialists are easily arranged.
Sounds pretty good, doesn't it ... individualized medical attention. The veterans who receive these services like it, too, according to a
VA news release. Here are some of the stats:
- Using secure electronics such as telehealth
video conferencing, email messaging, homebased monitoring, phone calls and group meet-
ings, the number of interactions with veterans
increased 50 percent.
- Of veterans asking for a same-day appointment with their personal provider, 65 percent
got it. Of those who asked for a specific appointment date, 78 percent were accommodated. In
the past year, care during non-business hours
increased 75 percent.
- More than 70 percent of veterans who are
discharged from the hospital are contacted
within two days to make sure they understand
their instructions and to see how they're doing.
- Mental-health care services, also a component of PACT, increased 18 percent.
- As a result of PACT, there's been a 33 percent
decrease in the number of veterans needing urgent care, and hospital admissions decreased
12 percent for acute conditions.
The bottom line? In a PACT satisfaction survey, over 90 percent of veterans had positive
assessments of both inpatient and outpatient
care.

take the drugs — and their reactions
to the medicine — could help them
figure out better treatments.

New Gadgets
Designed With
Seniors in Mind
Finally, manufacturers and retailers are paying attention to seniors! More and more of them
are creating gadgets that will help us with small
tasks every day. Here are a few I found online:
• Is it getting harder to put the key in your
front door lock because the key is just too small
to hold? AgingCare.com has a gizmo that makes
using keys so much easier. The Easy Key Turner
is a plastic key holder that more than doubles
the size of the end of the key.
• The same thought has gone into the Lamp
Switch Turner, available on the site above. Instead of a small round switch, this little device
is in the shape of a bigger triangle, much easier
to grip when you want to turn on a lamp.
• Wish your cane didn't look so blah, so like
everyone else's? Cane Expressions has a beautiful variety of removable, decorative cane covers. Choose from shimmery or beaded fabrics.
Coordinate outfits with denim, red hearts,
camo, purple, polka dots, zebra or any number
of other prints and colors. Go online to www.
caneexpressions.com to see its selection, or call
310-387-4909. All are made in the USA.
• If the letters on your caller ID are getting
smaller all the time, consider a talking caller ID.
No more squinting at tiny letters. The machine
will announce the number that's calling. Consider this option the next time you shop for a
phone.
• If you're still driving, look for a steeringwheel knob. It clamps on the steering wheel and
gives a larger surface to hold.
To find more gadgets, go online and search
for "seniors daily living aids." Look for doorknob
levers, jar and bottle openers, Neo Bird writing
pens (easy to grip) and talking watches.

Stone talked about an episode of
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" that
influenced his early thoughts on leadership. He also discussed dropping
out of college, confronting failure and
keeping in mind some of Twitter's
management blunders now that he is

transcript has been edited for length
and clarity.
Q: What's your definition of leadership in 140 characters?
A: Leadership can be defined as
good communication plus confidence
without ego.
Q: And the longer version?
A: I'm being nerdy now: One of my
favorite episodes of "Star Trek: The
Next Generation" is when the captain
and the doctor are stranded alone
on this planet, and their brains are
linked by some kind of alien device so
they can read each other's thoughts.
They're trying to get somewhere and
the captain says, "We're going this
way." And the doctor says, "You don't
know which way to go, do you?" Because she can read his thoughts.
He explains to her that sometimes
part of being a leader is just picking a
way and being confident about it and
going, because people want to be led.
That episode rang really true to me.
Sometimes you just have to lead, even

Central Publishing)
if you don't have all the answers. In
fact, you shouldn't have all the answers. If you think you have all the
answers, then you're probably doing
something wrong.
Q: What leadership lesson did you
learn most from watching Twitter
grow?
A: One of the keys to being a CEO
is communication. In the early days
of Twitter, we just assumed that since
we were all sitting in the same room
we were all on the same page, so we
didn't really need to communicate
that much. We were wrong. That was
one reason Twitter's service was constantly breaking in the early days.
With this new company I've founded, Jelly, it's the first time I'm CEO.
I realize that half the job of being a
good leader is making sure everyone
knows everything at all times that
they need to know, because it's human nature to fear the unknown. And
in the business world, fear translates
to the assumption that something's
going wrong. If you don't hear anything, you assume the worst.
So in my new role, I try to overcommunicate. Every Sunday, I spend
three hours writing the ups and
downs of the week, and I send it to the
board and all the employees and anyone who's an adviser or stakeholder.
I have Monday morning meetings,
Friday afternoon meetings, as much
communication as I can possibly
have. Probably too much. But I've
found that it's a critical component
to being a leader — that and some
humor.
Q: What experiences in your youth
had an impact on your character today?
A: When I was 19 years old, I had
this full scholarship for excellence in
the arts to U-Mass., but on the side I
got a job moving boxes at a publishing company. When the art department went out to lunch one day, I
snuck onto the art director's machine
and I designed a book jacket. I printed it out, matted it up for approval,
and when the art director got back
he wanted to know who had designed
this cover.
I said, "Me." And he said, "The box
kid?" He offered me a job, so I decided
to drop out of college.
He was my early mentor. I grew up
without a father, so this guy taught
me a lot. He didn't just teach me how
to design book jackets, and he didn't
just teach me about graphic design.
He taught me that creativity is a renewable resource. He taught me to
take my ego out of the job of creating
the right cover for the book, because
there are infinite covers. There's not
one right cover. If it doesn't work for
sales, if it doesn't work for editorial,
try again.
I also learned early on that opportunity can be manufactured. When I
got to high school, I wanted to be on
a sports team, but I hadn't played any
sports as a kid. I found out that the
school didn't offer lacrosse. So I went
to the administration and said, if I can
find enough other boys and a coach,
can I start a lacrosse team?
So I founded this lacrosse team and
we were good, and I became captain. The lesson I learned from it was
to take a step back and realize that
you can architect the circumstances,
which then uniquely positions you
to take the opportunity. It's a lesson
I have taken with me throughout my
career — if something doesn't exist,
you just create it.
Q: What do you think about founder CEOs, when that works and when
it doesn't?
A: Being a founder and CEO is the
ideal situation, if the founder of the
company is ready to take on that responsibility and is suited to it. That's
not always the case. Some founders
are people who are very creative and
want to pop from one project to the
next. Also, a lot of the founders these
days are kids. And the best way for
them to grow into that CEO role is
either with time or by surrounding
themselves with people who can really educate them. I've always subscribed to that theory — that to be
a great leader you should surround
yourself with people who are smarter
than you and challenge you.
I've spent most of my career being
a founder, but not a CEO. Now is my
first time as both. I finally know what
it feels like to want to build something
that lasts and to want to stick with
your project all the way.
Q: What made the difference, that
this time you wanted to be CEO?
A: I've matured. I've been on the
front lines for so many years that I've
been able to soak up the best qualities I've seen in CEOs. I tend to have
a habit of picking up traits that I like.
I'm a father now, and I think that
makes a big difference. There's a sense
of responsibility that has come with
that. Also, the thing that brings me
the most joy in life is helping other
people, and this company is a platform for people helping other people
— so it's a productization of my own
personality. It makes sense for me to
be the chief executive officer, because
I'm the living, breathing embodiment
of the company and the product itself.
Q: Which talent issues have you
wrestled with most in your work on
start-ups?
A: When I think about retaining talent and finding talent, I actually seek out failure. People who have
tried and failed, then tried again, are
really valuable people because they've
learned incredible lessons.
I definitely also hire for funny. My
current co-founder, Ben Finkel, and
I laugh so hard together sometimes
that we can't breathe. You've got to
have that kind of connection.
But more than that, when it comes
to keeping people motivated and en-
gaged, I think the key is offering a
kind of meaningfulness to the work
that's above and beyond the product
itself. In other words, the company
and its product have to be on a trajectory to make a positive impact on the
world. If you have that woven into the
fabric of the business from the beginning, you attract the kind of people
who can work anywhere they want
for any amount they want, but they
come to you because of the philosophy behind the work.
Q: You mentioned how important
recovering from failure is, which is
something many entrepreneurs say,
but there have to be times when you
considered giving up. How did you
get yourself past that psychologically?
A: There was a point in the early
days of Twitter when yet again the
service had gone down and it was
really frustrating. We were trying to
figure out what was wrong, and I had
a particularly stressful morning and
I just kind of lost it. I stood up and
blurted something out about, "Why
can't we get our act together?" And
Jack Dorsey, the CEO at the time, just
very quietly asked me to take a walk
with him.
He said, "Biz, you're the guy who's
always optimistic and looking on the
bright side and putting on a happy
face. We need you to do that, because
we are having such a tough time
and we need that element to keep us
afloat."
That was a really meaningful piece
of advice for me. Up until that point,
I didn't realize how optimism could
play such a powerful role in keeping
a company running. It wasn't a point
where I threw in the towel — I never
really wanted to give up on Twitter,
we were always so much in love with
it — but it was definitely an inflection
of sorts.
When I started my first company
in 1999 and then quit in 2000, I quit
because I didn't like the way the company culture was going. I realize now
that I was too green to understand
that I should have just worked harder
to change it, not give up. I gave up.
That's not what I would do now.
Q: You've had the rare vantage point
of seeing Twitter go from infancy
through IPO and beyond. What management challenges have you seen in
scaling up?
A: So many. The company is almost
like this organism that needs who it
needs when it needs them, just as a
child needs different types of parenting as it grows older.
You start out really small. Then, as
the company grows, someone else
starts doing your job. Some people
get afraid and think, 'Am I becoming
obsolete?' The answer is: No, you're

Target CEO Says Breach Spurred
Revamp of Stores, Bureaucracy
By Matt Townsend
Bloomberg News
T
arget Corp. Interim Chief Executive Officer John Mulligan
said Friday that the retailer
had lost its way even before December's massive data breach by becoming too cautious and bureaucratic.
The theft of credit-card data for
40 million customers has forced
the company to refocus on pleasing
shoppers and reconsider everything
from how it presents apparel to how it
makes decisions, Mulligan said in an
interview.
"That came out of it, but I would
have preferred to have gotten there a
different way," he said. "We got a little
bit risk-averse in making sure things
were perfect and we understood the
economics. Now, it's really unshackling ourselves."
Last month, Mulligan, an 18-year
veteran of the second-largest U.S.
discount retailer, was promoted from
chief financial officer to replace Gregg
Steinhafel as CEO on an interim basis while the company searches for a
permanent replacement. Target had
already been trying to improve lack-

luster results in the United States and
a botched expansion to Canada before hackers infiltrated its computer
systems.
At a test store in Minneapolis, Target is reworking the baby, electronics,
toys and clothing sections because
presentations had become stale, Mulligan said.
The changes include opening up
floor plans, improving lighting and
introducing mannequins, which were
used for the first time two years ago
with the debut of its smaller CityTarget locations. The remodeled baby
area went from initial concept to introduction at 200 stores this summer
in seven months, Mulligan said.
"We are accelerating how we make
decisions," by giving design and store
teams more autonomy and requiring
fewer initiatives to be approved by
top management, Mulligan said. "It's
just getting more comfortable putting
things out there."
The moves are all part of an attempt to get Target back to its roots
of upscale discounting, Mulligan said.
While its design collaborations get a
lot of attention, the chain's ability to
apply its cheap chic mantra to basic
products is what set it apart, he said.
"People equate that with the big designer things," Mulligan said. "Those
are important, but that's frosting. It's
the everyday innovation. That's the
secret sauce. That was our success."
Shares of Minneapolis-based Target had fallen 12 percent this year
through last Thursday. That compares
with a 3.4 percent drop for larger rival Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and a 3.9
percent increase for the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index.
Target two weeks ago cut its annual
earnings forecast to $3.60 to $3.90 a
share, down from a previous range of
as much as $4.15. It projected adjusted
earnings of 85 cents to $1 a share for
the second quarter, compared with an
average estimate of about $1.03.
The company is holding off on stock
buybacks as it works on its comeback.
The retailer said it probably won't repurchase more stock before the second half of the year.
U.S. comparable-store sales will
grow as much as 2 percent this year,
and product promotions will push its
gross margin below 30 percent, the
company said. The sales will "be flat to
slightly positive" in the current quarter, Target said. Sales by that measure
declined 0.4 percent in its most recent
fiscal year, the first annual drop since
the year ended in January 2010.
Target's Canadian business lost
$211 million before interest and taxes
last quarter, a wider deficit than the
$205 million it posted a year earlier.
In the last fiscal year, the division lost
$941 million before interest and taxes, reducing the year's profit by $1.13
a share. The company replaced the
top executive there, Tony Fisher, with
Mark Schindele two weeks ago.

Home Freezers
A home freezer can be a good bargain over the
long term, but buying a freezer also can be a major
expense. Here are some things to consider in deciding whether having a freezer is the right move
for you.
Capacity: How much do you need? The rule of
thumb is to multiply the number of family members by 1.5 cubic feet, adding more to the calculation if you'll be adding large quantities of meat
from hunting or bulk buys, or if you'll be freezing
vegetables from a large garden.
Energy Use: Read the EnergyStar rating labels
to determine how much energy the freezer will
use, and multiply by the kilowatt hour cost (you'll
find that on your electric bill) to determine your
costs to run the freezer.
Upright vs. Chest: Consider the pros and
cons for both.
Upright freezers are shaped like a refrigerator and therefore take up less floor space. Since
they open from the front, it's easier to find what
you want, but bulky items can be hard to store. Uprights usually cost a bit more than the chest style,
but most are self-defrosting. When you open the
door of an upright freezer, your cold air spills out
onto the floor, which adds to your energy cost.
Chest freezers are more energy efficient because the cold air doesn't escape when you open
the top. Most are manual defrost, which saves
energy, but can be an unwanted chore. It can be difficult to find items that are at the bottom.
Options: Here are some you'll want to consider:
• A lock with key for safety around children
• Self-defrost
• Magnetic door seal
• Interior light
• A defrost drain for manual defrost
• Adjustable temperature control
• Warranty and on-site service
Don't buy more freezer than you need -- due to
the operating costs. Freezers work best if filled
most of the way. With a too-big freezer, you'll pay
extra for the freezer and then again every month
when your electric bill comes due.
A freezer can be a money saver if it means fewer
trips to the store -- less gas, less impulse buying
-- or that you won't eat out as often. But consider
your actual usage to determine if it will be worth
your while to own one.

being asked to step up a level and
take on a bigger piece of the pie. That
rapid growth doesn't work for some
people, though, because they feel like
they're being pushed out when actually they're just being asked to take on
more responsibility. It's a challenge to
communicate that effectively.
Fast growth is very dynamic. If you
don't move with it and evolve with
it, then the company freezes up in
certain sections and you can really
stumble. At Twitter, we stumbled a
lot, but we managed to find that dynamic flow and go public. It's the end
of the beginning for Twitter, but it's
certainly the beginning of something
new.
Q: Can you share your best Twitter
tip?
A: Just be authentic. That's the only
way to go. Over and over and over
it comes back to that. People try all
kinds of different things, and when
they just present themselves as human, that's when people connect with
them.
Q: What's one challenge in your life
that tested you the most?
A: When I decided to drop out of
my full scholarship at college to take a
job working side by side with this art
director, that was a difficult decision.
I grew up intermittently on welfare,
with no money and always working
since I was 9 years old. In my adult
life, I was always in debt. I miraculously got a job at Google before it IPOed. Then I had this decision to make
when Evan Williams left Google — I
asked myself, did I move out to California to work with Evan Williams?
Or did I move out here to work at
Google?
I realized I moved to work with
Evan Williams, which meant that
since he left, I had to leave. And that
meant leaving millions of dollars behind. That was very difficult, because
my whole life was a struggle with regard to money.
But now when I look back on it,
each one of these big and difficult
decisions came down to following a
person rather than an organization
or institution. I realize now that's a
smart way to go, because that's what
it's all about. It's all about people.
ELEPHANTS FROM COVER

states and three time zones.
The convoy, which included the
zoo's three new Asian elephants on
two flatbed tractor-trailers, plus two
RVs for staff, rolled down Connecticut Avenue and into the zoo compound at 10:55 a.m.
It had left the zoo in Calgary, Alberta, on Tuesday afternoon, May 20th.
The journey was kept somewhat secret for security reasons, the National
Zoo said, and a large part of the zoo
was closed off Friday as the elephants
were unloaded.
"Unloading elephants is logistically
very challenging and demanding,"
said zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson.
The job was not completed until
about 4:30 p.m. The zoo said the elephants can now be spotted on the
new stationary elephant cam, if they
wander into its focus. (Go to Nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/webcams.)
The arrival of the elephants is the
latest step in the National Zoo's push
to become a state-of-the-art center
for Asian elephant research and home
to a large herd of the endangered animals.
"It's incredibly exciting," BakerMasson said. "We've planned, we
worked on this for many, many, many
months. Even beyond that, prior to
that, the vision was to have a very
large herd at the Smithsonian National Zoo."
The elephants, which weigh a total
of 22,500 pounds, traveled in three
containers that the National Zoo
shipped to Calgary last year to familiarize the animals with them.
The RVs carried keepers, curators,
veterinarians and the National Zoo's
registrar, Laura Morse, to handle border-crossing paperwork.
"You get a whole bunch of elephant
people together in any room, and it's
a good time," Brandie Smith, a senior
curator who organized the Washington logistics, said at the zoo in mid

May.
There were periodic halts at truck
stops, but no overnight stays, zoo officials said.
And the elephants were not allowed
out of their containers. The wood
shavings were designed to absorb
waste.
The move was handled by a transportation company that specializes in
moving elephants, Smith said.
Some of the elephants' favorite toys
were brought along from Calgary,
including a 300-pound ball and the
popcorn blowers that were used to
spray popcorn, which the elephants
like to munch.
The zoo announced in August that
it was getting the three elephants,
boosting the size of its herd from four
to seven and providing a laboratory
for the study of elephant life and society.
The three females from Calgary
arrived a year after Bozie, another
female, was shipped to Washington
from the zoo in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, last May.
The Calgary Zoo announced in
2012 that it was closing its elephant
exhibit because of its cold climate, its
inability to expand and its desire to
give its elephants the benefits of living
in larger herds.
It chose the National Zoo as their
new home.
The newest arrivals are Kamala, 39,
Swarna, 39, and Maharani, 23, Kamala's daughter.
On Tuesday in Calgary, they were
coaxed into their containers, which
then were lifted onto the trucks with
a construction crane. Kamala and
Maharani were placed on one truck,
Swarna on the other. Police escorted
the convoy out of town.
In Washington, the process was
reversed. A crane lifted the containers from the trucks and placed them
at the entrance to the zoo's new elephant barn, where the newcomers
will be quarantined in a special area
for 30 days.
"They're beautiful, absolutely beautiful," Smith said of them.
The Canadians joined the National
Zoo's other females, Bozie, 38, Ambika, 66 — the second-oldest Asian
elephant in the country — and Shanthi, 39. The zoo also has a male, Kandula, 12.
The zoo hopes the females can be
kept together. The male is kept separately.
"Ideally, we'll have a single kind of
matriarchal herd," Smith said.
"They'll get to know each other, and
they'll establish a dominance hierarchy," she said. "But it might not happen. . . . Maybe it will be two separate
groups. Ultimately, we're going to let
them tell us what they want to do."
Several keepers from the Calgary
Zoo made the convoy trip and will
stay in Washington to ease the new
elephants' transition.
David Rubenstein, the local philanthropist who has been a major
National Zoo benefactor and recently
helped pay for the Washington Monument earthquake repair, provided $2
million for the transfer, officials said.
In March 2013, the zoo opened
a new elephant community center,
which resembles a sunny, indoor elephant sandbox.
It was the second phase of the zoo's
$56 million Elephant Trails exhibit.
The first part, which included a
5,700-square-foot barn, two new
yards, a pool and a quarter-mile walkway through woods, opened in 2010.
Maharani is of breeding age. In
2012, she delivered a stillborn, premature calf. She has had two other
pregnancies, but neither of the calves
survived. The zoo plans to breed her,
but not with its male because they are
distantly related.
Kamala, the Calgary group's matriarch, was born in 1975 in Sri Lanka's
Yala National Park. Orphaned at 6
months, she was found at the bottom of an abandoned well by park
employees. Her name is Hindi for
"lotus flower." She was brought from
the Pinnawala elephant orphanage in
central Sri Lanka to Calgary in 1976.
Maharani was born in Calgary in
1990.
Swarna also came to the Calgary
Zoo in 1976 from the Pinnawala orphanage.
Bozie, Shanthi, Swarna and Kamala were all once in the Pinnawala
orphanage together, but zoo officials
have said they did not know whether
the animals would remember one another.

Gerald W. “Gerry” Hunt
Conesus, NY – Gerald W. “Gerry”
Hunt, age 64 years, passed away May
22, 2014. He is survived by his wife,
Lynne; children Rebecca, Zachary,
Kevin and Jennifer; sister, Elaine (Ed)
Henning; and many dear friends and
relatives.
Jerry from a very young age loved
the outdoors. He spent as much time
there as he could, watching the clouds
go by, listening to the birds sing, trying to identify the species. Walking in
the woods, fishing, hunting, whatever
it took to find his “peaceful place”. He
became a tour guide in Montana, taking people on hunting expeditions for
elk, deer, bear whatever they wanted,
all while riding a horse and camping under the stars. After he became
disabled he continued to do what he
loved even though many times it became difficult, using a golf cart for
mobility, he still hunted. He became
a wildlife rehabilitator, caring for orphaned or injured wildlife, he even
had a cat (Quazi) that was “different”
and they had a special bond. He took
in birds, turtles, squirrels, etc., but as
everyone who knew him was aware,
his favorite were the fawns. He cared
for one two days before his death.
We know he is in heaven accepting
all the animals that have passed and
know he can now walk in the woods,
listen to the birds all without being in
pain. He will always be in our hearts
and there will not be a day that goes
by that we won’t think of him. May he
rest in his “peaceful place”. Love you
always Lynne, Rebecca and Zachary

Lazing Beneath

n 1964, when Marimekko's redand-white poppy pattern Unikko
was introduced, America was
poised to embrace flower power.
Since them, hundreds of items including tableware, sheets and sneakers have been produced in this bold
print, whose name means "poppy" in
Finnish. The pattern became an icon
for Marimekko, the Finnish company
founded in 1951 by Armi Ratia that
brought energy and innovation to
the field of textile design. The 50th

A: We want to increase our footsix American Marimekko stores.

said Ritva KoukkuRonde, Finnish ambassador to the United
States, at the opening
of the exhibit late last
month. The embassy
used tablecloths of
several Unikko color
schemes for the reception, and a number of
guests wore Marimekko dresses. "The bright
colors and the courageous designs all speak
to our lifestyle."

about the history of
the popular brand and the company's
future. Here is an edited transcript:
Q: Why has this particular pattern
had such staying power for Marimekko?
A: The pattern came out after Armi
Ratia, the owner and founder of Marimekko, declared that Marimekko
could never do floral prints. That was
when designer Maija Isola, who was
a bit of a rebel, created a collection of
florals, one of which was Unikko. The
pattern was produced, and it's very
graphic and very in tune with the
DNA of the company. Over the years,

planning to open new stores. We have
a partnership with Banana Republic for a collection of limited-edition
clothing and accessories. We want to
find ways to bring the brand to customers in new ways.
Q: Do you own anything in the
Unikko print?
A: I'm working at home this morning, so I can tell you that on my dining room table is a large Unikko
tablecloth of pink and orange flowers
on a dark brown background. I have
orange leather chairs around it. It
brings so much energy to the room. I
thoroughly enjoy it. Everyone always
comments on it.
Q: Why is Marimekko timeless?
A: Its essence resonates with real
values. It's about happiness and being oneself, not pretending. Once
you are connected with those values,
they become part of your life — like
my tablecloth. This is something that
represents who I am, and when I have
people over, they see brightness and
happiness.
The "50 Years of Unikko" exhibition
work. The idea was to build a grape
tunnel, using that lattice fence on one
side and cedar posts on the other.
Iron arches, built by our neighbor
Mark Kindschi, who had also built
the terrace arbor, linked the two.
Grapes are mighty vines that need
support. They grow at a heroic rate,
so they must be pruned each year;
rowing your own food may
seem an elusive dream for
those with small yards, but
landscaping can provide a solution.
When choosing a
shrub, tree or vine,
just ask yourself
whether it could be
an edible one. Need
a hedge? Plant blueberries or raspberries. Need a small,
attractive
tree?
Apples, peaches and
pears grow to a suitable size. Need some
shade in summer?
Plant grape vines.
We put up an iron
grape arbor that
runs the length of
the
south-facing
side of our house
to shade the terrace
for summer meals.
The 10 vines took a
few years to ascend
the arbor's support
posts and cover the
upper framework

But now they are
there each year, with wide leaves the otherwise they'd produce a mass of
size of hands, and fruits that dangle greenery too weighty and wanderabove our heads for instant dessert ing to manage. Sun would not reach
the ripening fruit, and in the winter
in fall.
A few years later we chose to grow the denseness of too many branches
a seedless variety called Canadice would cut down on sunlight.
Pruning is best done after the vines
and a second arbor was needed. We
decided the perfect spot lay between shed their leaves in the fall and go
our vegetable garden and a smaller dormant. In a location where winone surrounded by wooden lattice- ter sun is less important, they can be
pruned throughout the winter dormant period. Even pruning after they

Scheepers, tells me that kale now goes

But if kale has become the new spinach, its most frequently mentioned

I first encountered some years back
as "crispy kale" at the Burning Tree
Restaurant in Otter Creek, Maine.
To make kale chips, you start with
de-ribbed kale with the leaves torn in
pieces. Then all you do is squirt olive
oil on a cookie sheet, spread the kale
in a single layer and bake until crisp.
I set the oven at 275 degrees, and it's
done in about 15 minutes. The low
temperature lets them crisp without
browning. Salting them at the end
rather than the beginning keeps them
from steaming and becoming soggy.
Employing fat, salt and crispness
is a well-proven food alchemy, and a
kale chip is simply a more healthful
stand-in for a potato chip — and just
as satisfying. Set a plate of them out
for snacking and they will soon disappear. They have evolved to include
very filling versions in which they

P
eople bought so many kale
seeds this spring that at least
one company ran out of them.
According to Julius Koenig, a product
technician at Johnny's Selected Seeds,
kale sales rose 20 to 30 percent this
year, an unexpected spike, and all
the company's hybrid kales (except
the ornamental ones) are sold out
completely. Adds fellow technician
Lindsay Spigel, "My mom will eat it
now. That means it has really become
mainstream."
Have I been blind or did this happen overnight? Was it all those little
round green bumper stickers that
read "Eat More Kale?"
I quizzed Daniel Nagengast, owner
of Seeds From Italy, about the whys
and wherefores of the kale surge. "It
seems like every order out of here includes a packet of Cavolo Nero [one
of the popular Tuscan varieties]," he
said. "Because of the leafy-greensand-calcium connection, people
grasp that it is very good for you. Kale
is a gateway for a more greens-intensive lifestyle." Jo-Anne Ohms, owner
of John Scheepers Kitchen Garden
Seeds, reports: "It seems like every
client is ordering kale."
So it's good for you — a superfood, even. And some varieties are
more mild-tasting than the tougher
curly kales that were once the only
kind available. Smooth kales, such
as the deep blue-green Tuscan and
the magenta-stemmed Red Russian
types, lend themselves to raw salads,
teamed up with hearty additions such
as bacon, garlic, chopped hard-boiled
eggs and Parmesan cheese. And am I
the last to hear about massaging kale
first, as you would a Kobe steer? This
tenderizes the leaves without cooking, explains my friend Alexandra,
who rubs hers with coarse salt. Others use oil and vinegar, so that the

client recently asked me to
perform a decorating nearmiracle: She wanted enough
seating in her small New York apartment living room to accommodate
her three 20-something kids, herself and her husband, all at the same
time. The seating had to meet what I
call the ABCs of upholstery: It had to
be affordable, blemish-resistant and
comfortable. (Unfortunately for her,
it had to be custom, too.) My solution
was to create a sectional that would
maximize the space and be appropriately proportioned to suit the long
legs of her two very tall sons and husband. To further ensure that the piece
would be comfortable, I specified
down-wrapped foam cushions that
allow one to sink in but don't require
constant fluffing the way all-down
cushions do.
With size and shape agreed upon,
the real test came when we considered possible fabrics. The client
wanted something cozy and luxurious — think mohair or velvet — but
much of what we looked at was either
price-prohibitive (over $120 per yard)
or too fragile. She winced when I suggested using an outdoor fabric for fear
that the sectional would feel plastic-y,
like the vinyl covering often found
in diner booths or on restaurant bar
stools. I assured her this wasn't the
case, especially given the wide variety
and superior quality of outdoor fabrics currently on the market.
So you can imagine her surprise
when I showed up at our next meeting with a selection of soft, textural
fabrics in one hand and a bottle of red
wine in the other. First I had her feel
the fabrics. She was impressed. Then
I had her watch while I dripped red
wine onto each sample. To her amazement, the wine beaded off the fabric,
the way water does when dropped in

Designs.)
a hot frying pan. She was convinced.
These were fabrics that could not
only withstand potential frat boy
abuse, but also would look and feel
rich enough to grace her living room.
The client ended up selecting Across
the Horizon from Holly Hunt's Great
Outdoors Collection (www.hollyhunt.com, available through designers only) which feels so strikingly
un-outdoorsy that even my very experienced upholsterer called after
receiving the bolt of fabric to ask me
what the content was (he guessed that
it was a cashmere-wool blend — how
wrong he was!).
The fabric, like most outdoor fabrics, is made from solution-dyed
acrylic. Most fabrics start out as colorless fibers that are woven into yarn
and then dyed. Solution-dyed acrylic
is dyed before the yarn is ever created.
A liquid acrylic solution is mixed
with dye and then formed into a fiber and spun into yarn. This process
creates a superhero-like product that
is not only soft to the touch, but also
colorfast and water-resistant.
I am one of many designers who
have turned to these high-performance outdoor fabrics for indoor
use. It makes sense, given that our
homes have become more casual and
our rooms more multifunctional. We
need fabrics that can withstand the
diverse demands of kids, pets and entertaining.
Fortunately for all of us, there are an
ever-increasing number of solutiondyed fabric styles, colors and textures
to choose from. Just recently, Ralph
Lauren Home launched its new Harbor Club Outdoor collection, which
consists of preppy solids and stripes

— that particular SS with that exact
paint job — after the show ended.
I succeeded in that endeavor and
drove the Chevrolet SS for a week —
a total of 721 miles! What a week!
The SS is an amalgam of contradictions — thrillingly brash road
performance in a car that would
look perfectly at home in a parking
space attached to a Jesuit rectory. It
is equipped with a Corvette engine
— a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 delivering
415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet
of torque. It has a nearly two-ton factory weight — poundage minus passengers and cargo — 3,975 pounds, to
be exact.
Yet, it moves from 0 to 60 mph in

without screeching wheels or other
adolescent theatrics. Acceleration is
smooth, instant — almost magical.
But, as is the case with all magic, this
one also comes with penalty. I held on
to my gasoline receipts — $126.73 for
721 miles. My mathematics are influenced by place and time of purchase.
But the costs seem to accurately reflect the reality of a car that delivers
14 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the
highway — dropping it below the required city/highway combination of
22.5 mpg to avoid a federal gas guzzler tax.
The guzzler tax on this one is
$1,300, figured into an overall base
sticker price of $43,475.
The fuel-economy penalty — that
is, the lack of fuel economy — should
upset no one. No right-thinking consumer would order a 6.2-liter gasoline V8 engine in a nearly two-ton,
full-size sedan expecting top fuel
economy, not any more than a sane
individual would enter a strip club
expecting to find the Queen of Virtue.
The pursuit in both cases is excitement. The SS delivers.
The car has everything — front
brakes with two-piece rotors and
four-piston calipers by racetrack supplier Brembo; a six-speed automatic
transmission that also can be shifted
manually; forged aluminum, 19-inchdiameter wheels with Bridgestone
high-performance tires front and
back.
To executives at BMW, kindly take
note: While you all insist on charging your buyers for advanced safety
options that should be offered as
standard equipment on your ultraexpensive automobiles, GM/Chevrolet has gone the "shared value" route
on the 2014 Chevrolet SS. That's
"shared value" — offering the best to
the consumer even at higher costs to
the manufacturer because that makes
happy consumers who, ultimately, are
willing to reward the manufacturer

Maserati's $159,000 Quattroporte Has
Legroom, Little Sex Appeal
By Jason H. Harper
Bloomberg News
A
sked to describe the brand
Maserati, most people would
use words like Italian, expensive and exotic.
They'd be right, mostly. The bestselling Maserati in the U.S. is the
four-door Quattroporte, an Italianmade sedan that is reasonably fast
and, in the case of the car I tested,
plenty pricey at $159,600. The overall
character, however, was more stately
than sexy, buttoned-down rather than
exotic.
Put away those thoughts of the Italian supercar of your dreams. Think of
the Quattroporte as a rival to capacious luxury cars like the MercedesBenz S-Class AMG, Audi S8 and
BMW B7 Alpina. This car is aimed at
the reclining CEO or perhaps even a
fortunate family.
Fiat sPA owns Maserati and Ferrari, and both companies' original
factories are only a few miles apart in
northern Italy. The Maserati brothers
were racing cars by the early 1900s.
Yet these days the notion that the
company sells fire-breathing sports
cars has arguably worked against it,
scaring off buyers who assume they'll
find supercar prices at dealerships.
The new Quattroporte Q4 starts at
$105,600, whereas the closest thing
to a people-carrier that Ferrari sells
is the four-seat FF, at more than
$300,000.
This is the sixth generation of the
Quattroporte, and for the 2014 model
we get an entirely redesigned car
with two engine choices, a V-6 and

with more of their business. To wit:
Standard advanced safety features
on the SS include automatic parking
assistance, which enables hands-free
parking; eight air bags, including
knee bolsters for the driver and front
passenger; forward-collision alert,
lane-departure warning, blind-side
monitoring; and rear cross-traffic
alert systems.
There also are heated seats and a
rear-vision camera — offered as standard stuff, all for a price that is nearly
$19,000 below the 2014 BMW 435i
coupe sitting in my driveway, minus
many of those advanced safety options — at this writing.
The SS was expensive to run, but I
was reluctant to part with its company. I loved being in it, loved driving it.
It pumped new blood into being 66.
Thank you, Chevrolet.

V-8, each with distinct price points.
The GTS V-8 model has an MSRP of
$143,600, and is the car that I tested.
The twin-turbo V-6 Q4 model is allwheel-drive, a must in this category,
especially in markets like the American Northeast. The V-8 comes only
as a rear-wheel-drive, a configuration
which will disappoint some.
The major point of departure from
the last generation is that the engines
are turbo-charged, losing the distinct
sound and high-revving nature of
the previous naturally-aspirated V-8.
They lack some of the visceral appeal,
but are more efficient and powerful.
Both motors were designed by
Maserati and are assembled by Ferrari. The V-6 has 404 horsepower and
406 pound-feet of torque; the V-8
523 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. The
V-6 model is actually heavier (4,226
pounds), a result of the added weight
of the all-wheel-drive system.
Yet it is only two-tenths of a second
slower to 60 mph than the V-8, taking 4.8 seconds. (The Audi S8, by way

The car has also grown larger. It is
6.4 inches longer and 2.5 inches wider, with an overall increase of fourplus inches of legroom. This makes it
longer than even the Jaguar XJ. Maserati is clearly catering to the Chinese
market.
The most distinctive design feature
of any modern Maserati is the wide
oval mouth of the grill with the trident icon at its center. This treatment
on the Quattroporte looks quite good.
That's where the exterior joys end.
The Quattroporte is in danger of
looking generic, especially in its oversized rear — it could be mistaken for
just another Infiniti in the parking
lot. One wonders why the design is
so conservative, so lacking in overtly
Italian flourish.
At least we could hope for perfect
proportions, but here too it falls short.
One suspects the extra length stymied
the designers, who still had to build it
on a chassis shared by a new, smaller
1.8-liter, turbocharged (forced air),
direct-injection, four-cylinder gasoline engine that replaces the 2.5-liter, five-cylinder gasoline engine in
previous Golf models. Yet, it delivers 20 percent better fuel economy
(36 miles per gallon on the highway)
and almost identical horsepower and
torque — 170 horsepower and 200
pound-feet of torque.
— Bonus: The new TSI gasoline
engine, although turbocharged, runs
perfectly on regular-grade fuel — no
need to pay more for higher octane.
And then there is my favorite —
the 2-liter, diesel-fueled TDI, which
delivers 42 miles per gallon on the
highway, 150 horsepower and 236
pound-feet of torque. That one has
truly discernible get-up-and-go. Its
low fuel consumption confers the
added benefit of peace of mind in
go-nowhere traffic. You don't feel as
if you are sitting there throwing away
money.
I spent most of my time here in the
TDI and TSI, running in morning
and late-afternoon rush-hour traffic.
Car manufacturers traditionally try to
avoid that kind of congestion to show
off their new wares. But VW wanted
Maserati sedan, the Ghibli.
This inelegance presents itself in
rear doors which are longer than
those on the front and a scrunched
appearance where the A-pillar meets
the side windows.
There's better news on the inside,
where the steering wheel has a pleasing sculptural design, with metal paddles framing either side. A long thin
strip of metal runs along the dash as
part of the ventilation system, and
an analog clock seems to float from
the dash. My car had natural, unvarnished wood throughout, a fantastic
touch.
Some of that panache is lost by the
navigation system's digital screen,
which comes from Chrysler. This isn't
a travesty, as Chrysler's latest navigation and infotainment system is quite
good. Still, the screen lacks a certain
visual sophistication.
Where the Quattroporte should,
and mostly does, shine is in the actual
driving. It hustles away from stops,
accompanied by a muted howl from
the motor. Disengage the traction
control and you can easily smoke the
tires. Steering is confident, and the
overall character is stable. Brakes are
excellent.
A few buyers might cross-shop it
with the new Mercedes S- Class, a
technological wunderkind which literally steers itself in short increments.
The Mercedes' ride is pillowy, whereas the Maserati is firm. In general,
the Maserati is the old-school performance sedan.
The car is easy to live with. I enjoyed
the interior space and ample storage.
Still, I kept waiting for the hallelujah
to make a point: The new Golf is a real
car made for the real-world driving
by real people with non-luxurious incomes, people who nonetheless need
and want a car that serves them well
and reliably with a sense of style.
You made your point, Volkswagen.
Here is betting your new Golf models
will sell well.

moment, the point where my endorphins would trip and I'd say, "I must
own this car!"
This was especially so when I got
out the car and looked over the tootimid design. Italian and expensive,
yes, but the Quattroporte falls a bit
too short on the exotic.

Got A Light?
It is reported that in a west Texas
town, employees in a medium-sized
warehouse noticed the smell of gas.
Sensibly, management evacuated the
building, extinguishing all potential
sources of ignition -- lights, power,
etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians from the gas
company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found they
had difficulty navigating in the dark.
To their frustration, none of the lights
worked.
Witnesses later described the scene
of one of the technicians reaching
into his pocket and retrieving an object that resembled a lighter. Upon
operation of the lighter-like object,
the gas in the warehouse exploded,
sending pieces of it up to three miles
away. Nothing was found of the
technicians, but the lighter was virtually untouched by the explosion.
The technician that was suspected of
causing the explosion had never been
thought of as "bright" by his peers. ■

Ex-NFL Linemen Discover That Weighing
300 Pounds or More is No Asset in
Life After Football
many ways, was growing.
The next year, nine 300-pound players — most of them interior offensive
linemen, built to stop a defender like
Perry — entered the league, and a
year after that came 27 players who
weighed at least 300. The trend continued, and three years ago, 132 men
began NFL careers weighing 300
pounds or more.
Davis, now 47, was a rookie in
1991, and he struggled each year to
reach his target weight range of 325
to 335 pounds. When the seasons
ended, he'd swell to 375 or so, he says,
and when his career ended in 1999,
there were no practices or screaming
coaches to keep him in check. He ate
as he had as a player, caloric amounts
meant to feed a raging machine. Only
now, with no workouts or games, the
machine had ground to a halt. His career had ended with no exercise suggestions or diet to ease his transition,
and so his weight kept climbing.
"When I retired," he says, "I heard
nothing. There simply wasn't anything. Most guys don't know how to
do it. I thought I knew how to do it.
I think it's a huge mystery when it
comes to: 'What am I supposed to

oger Brown was made to go
to the train station back then,
standing where they weighed
logs and iron. The Detroit Lions' scale
didn't reach such ungodly measures.
Weigh-in day came each Thursday, and most weeks this was nerveracking and humiliating. In the early
1960s, Brown's target weight as a
defensive tackle was 280 pounds; for
each extra pound he was fined $10.
The team's scale stopped at 250, and
so away they went. He'd stand there
amid the other freight, a few teammates chiming in with oinks and
grunts, while they waited to see that
week's number, which sometimes
registered 300 or more.
"Today," Brown says now, at age 77,
"fans look at you as this big, healthy
[butt] kicker. Back then, you were just
an overweight blob."
In the early 1960s, Brown was the
biggest man in football — and, as the
NFL's first regular player to weigh
300 pounds, something of an oddity.
These days, there's nothing unusual
about a player that size. Four weeks
ago, when 256 players entered the
league via the NFL draft, 57 were listed at weights of at least 300 pounds.

challenges immediately after retirement was the difference between his story and so many of players
with uncontrolled weights. (Washington Post photo by John McDonnell.)
But what happens when the games
end and a man no longer needs to
be so big to earn his living? Some
former players channel their competitive drives into new activities —
former NFL linemen Matt Birk and
Alan Faneca have recently appeared
in public barely recognizable after
astonishing weight losses — but others keep expanding. "Today, I look at
the guys," Brown says, "and, whew,
they're in trouble."
The NFL is now bigger than ever,
and about a dozen years ago offensive lineman Aaron Gibson became
the league's first 400-pound player.
Although league and players' association officials suggest that, in today's
NFL, plenty is being done to educate
players about managing their weights
after they retire, several former players say that they feel unprepared for
life after football. After years of having their sizes carefully managed,
strength coaches and nutritionists
keeping close tabs on players' weights,
some ex-players feel abandoned.
"Once you're done, you're done,"
said Antone Davis, a former NFL offensive lineman who grew to nearly
450 pounds after he retired. "You're
out, and you're on your own."
During the autumn of 1985, a rookie defensive tackle whose girth was
almost as amazing as his athleticism
captivated America. The Chicago
Bears' William "The Refrigerator"
Perry, a 335-pound defensive tackle,
could stuff ballcarriers and play fullback, too, and that year he was one
of two 300-pound players to enter
the league. In previous years, only 22
players had ever been so heavy when
their NFL careers began.
The Bears won that year's Super
Bowl, became icons with the "Super
Bowl Shuffle," and Perry became the

cusing on finishing a full 26.2 miles.
Faneca says he believes he redirected his competitive nature into a new
activity, which many players are unable to do as they wait for one more
NFL contract. He says finding new
physical challenges immediately after retirement was the difference between his story and the many stories
of players with uncontrolled weights.
And, like Davis, he says he heard little
during his playing days about how to
drop weight after he retired.

after football, but it wasn’t until he had a health scare that he decided to slim down from 448 pounds
to 227. (Washington Post photo by John McDonnell.)
On a particularly nice day, the ninetime Pro Bowler's wife, Julie, invited
him to run with her. The laps passed,
and Faneca was surprised at how easy
activity was now that he no longer
weighed so much. He was alone on
a run once, and where he normally
turned back, he kept going, three
miles turning into seven. Then there
he was attending an NFL game, when
he told a few former trainers that he
had run 10 miles a few days earlier —
and that he was planning to run a half
marathon, and the trainers told him
that'd be easy. "I wasn't looking for

He hired a speed coach and ran longer and farther, abandoning his plans
for the half marathon and instead fo-
"We're already gone. We're out of
sight, out of mind," says Faneca, who
at 37 now weighs about 215 pounds.
"It's just another aspect of what we do
to ourselves as professional football
players that nobody really wants to
think about or the league, especially,
would want to talk about."
In February, Faneca crossed a finish line in New Orleans after 3 hours
56 minutes of running — a solid time
for any first-time marathoner and
one that might've seemed impossible
when Faneca was 100 pounds heavier.
Afterward, he bought a bicycle and
began looking up triathlons and Iron
Man races. "Literally the next day," he
says, "I was like: What's next?"
Back when he played, Brown
thought his size was an asset. He was
quick and strong, and running backs
came to fear him. The fines and anxious weigh-ins — he used to plead
with friendly teammates to sneak a
hand under a cheek or belly roll to
fool the scale and save a few dollars
— were small prices for glory. But like
all players, Brown's career ended, in
1969, and he eventually ballooned to
448 pounds. Brown says most of his
former teammates have died, many
with heart problems or diseases related to the amount of weight they
carried.
About a decade ago, Brown says, he
was upstairs at his namesake sports
bar in downtown Portsmouth — he
owned eight restaurants after his playing career ended — when he passed
out, hitting his head on the steps.
There he lay for a long time, his
employees thinking their 400-pound
boss had gone home. Brown, who
once celebrated a successful weigh-in
with bountiful dinners with teammates — 16 side dishes, he recalls,
and many bottles of wine — had developed an irregular heartbeat, and
when he awoke and went to the hospital, a defibrillator was inserted into
his chest. "A hell of a way for your
body to say: 'Stop eating.' "
Brown lost weight slowly, finding
his way as some former players do
— onto a path that remains dimly lit
for most and impossible to find for
many. He followed his wife, Kay, to
the YMCA and left most of his meals
still on the plate. He walked and treated himself less frequently to favorite
foods. These days, the hallway near

the restaurant's kitchen is lined with
pictures of Brown alongside famous
faces. But now weighing about 227
pounds, he says the biggest thrill of
his life was buying clothes that hadn't
been tailored to fit him.
As Brown approaches 80, he says
most of his former teammates are now
gone — even the ones who grunted at
him as he stood on the scale at the rail
yard. "For years," he says, "I wanted to
be the best, biggest and fastest — and
the toughest. So now I want to live the
longest. And I'm planning to win."

Too Many Pets?
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: Is it possible to have
too many pets? My neighbor's two children were
proudly showing off their numerous house pets
during their first-communion party a few days
ago. They have four budgies, two rabbits, a cat,
a dog and an iguana! Isn't this a bit much for
two young children to handle? -- Concerned
Next Door
DEAR CONCERNED: If the pets all appeared
to be well-cared for, then it's probably not a
problem. And without knowing anything about
the situation, I'm willing to bet that the iguana
is cared for by the parents, since their care and
feeding is pretty tricky.
With caged pets -- like birds, rabbits and liz-
ards -- it's usually pretty simple to tell whether they're receiving good care. If their cages are
really dirty (piles of waste, very smelly sawdust
bedding) and if there isn't clean water available, then there is likely a problem. With other
pets, behavior and living area can be signs. Was
the dog badly behaved, or was it well-socialized,
or kept in a quiet room to stay calm during the
party? Did you notice or smell an overflowing
litter box?
If none of these signs were apparent, then the
family is probably taking pretty good care of all
their pets. The fact that the kids proudly showed
off their pets to party guests is a good sign.
With younger kids, parents' involvement
in keeping, caring for and training pets is important. Parents have the opportunity to teach
children not just responsibility, but awareness
of and compassion for other living creatures. In
the case of your neighbors, if the pets appear
to be cared for, then I'd say the parents are doing their jobs, and you have no more cause for
conern.

Fathers Then
& Now
1. Name the Dave Clark Five song that finally knocked the Beatles off the top of the
charts in 1964.
2. Which song mentions "Camp Granada"?
3. Who had a hit with "Killing Me Softly
With His Song"?
4. Who wrote the Pointer Sisters' "Fire"?
5. Name the song that contains this lyric:
"I was standing on the corner when I heard
my bulldog bark, He was barkin' at the two
men who were gamblin' in the dark."
Answers
1. "Glad All Over," in 1964. "I Want to Hold
Your Hand" had held the top slot for five
weeks, and "She Loves You" for four weeks
before that.
2. "Hello Mother, Hello Father," also known
as "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," a kid's letter from summer camp. The 1963 song won
a Grammy.
3. Roberta Flack, in 1973. Helen Reddy had
turned the song down because she didn't like
the title.
4. Bruce Springsteen.
5. "Stagger Lee," a popular American folk
song about the murder of Billy Lyons by
"Stag" Lee Shelton during a card game in St.
Louis on Christmas night in 1895. The song
was first published in 1911 and recorded numerous times, but the version by Lloyd Price
reached No. 1 on the charts in 1959.
Fathers of 1900 didn't have it
nearly as good as fathers of today,
but they did have a few advantages:
• In 1900, fathers prayed their
children would learn English.
Today, fathers pray their children
will speak English.
• In 1900, a father's horsepower
meant his horses.
Today, it's the size of his SUV.
• In 1900, if a father put a roof
over his family's head, he was a
success.
Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool
and 4-car garage. And that's just
the vacation home.
• In 1900, a father waited for the
doctor to tell him when the baby arrived.
Today, a father must wear a smock,
know how to breathe, coach and support his wife through the delivery,
and make sure he records the blessed
event.
• In 1900, fathers passed on
clothing to their sons.
Today, kids wouldn't touch Dad's
clothes if they were sliding naked
down an icicle.
• In 1900, a father smoked a pipe.
If he tries that today, he gets sent
outside after a lecture on lip cancer.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There's nothing an Aries Lamb likes less than having to
tackle a humdrum task. But finding a creative
way to do it can make all the difference. A more
exciting time awaits you this weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Finishing up a
job on time leaves you free to enjoy your weekend without any Taurean guilt pangs. A romantic attitude from an unlikely source could take
you by surprise.
1. Is the book of Colossians in the Old or New
Testament or neither?
2. Which book may be summarized as, "The
end of the world as we know it"? Proverbs, Ephesians, Hebrews, Revelation
3. From Acts 22, where was Paul brought up?
Jerusalem, Derbe, Anathoth, Jericho
4. How many books of the Bible (KJV) begin
with the letter "Z"? Zero, 1, 2, 3
5. From Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time to kill
and a time to ...? Plant, Embrace, Heal, Rest
6. In James 3, what can no man tame? Evil,
The tongue, Lions, Revenge
ANSWERS: 1) New; 2) Revelation;
3) Jerusalem; 4) 2; 5) Heal; 6) The tongue
• In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, "Wake up,
it's time for school."
Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: "Wake up,
it's time for hockey practice."
• In 1900, a father came home from
work to find his wife and children at
the supper table.
Today, a father comes home to a
note: "Jimmy's at baseball, Cindy's at
gymnastics, I'm at adult-ed, Pizza in
fridge."
• In 1900, fathers and sons would
have heart-to-heart conversations
while fishing in a stream.
Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons' ears and shout,
"WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE.."
• In 1900, a father gave a pencil box
for Christmas, and the kid was all
smiles.
Today, a father spends $800 at Toys
'R' Us, and the kid screams: "I wanted
Xbox!"
• In 1900, if a father had breakfast
in bed, it was eggs and bacon and
ham and potatoes.
Today, it's Special K, soy milk, dry
toast and a lecture on cholesterol.
• In 1900, a Father's Day gift would
be a hand tool.
Today, he'll get a digital organizer.
• In 1900, fathers said, "A man's
home is his castle."
Today, they say, "Welcome to the
money pit." ■
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Moving in a
new career direction might be seen by some as
risky. But if you have both the confidence to see
it through and the facts to back you up, it could
prove rewarding.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Holding back
on a decision might be difficult, considering
how long you've waited for this opportunity. But
until you're able to resolve all doubts, it could be
the wiser course to take.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You still need to
move carefully where financial matters are concerned. Better for the Lion to move slowly than
pounce on a "promising" prospect that doesn't
keep its promises.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A rejection of an idea you believe in can be upsetting.
But don't let it discourage you. Get yourself back
on track and use what you've learned from the
experience to try again.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The
early part of the week could find you looking to
balance your priorities between your family obligations and your career responsibilities. Pressures begin to ease by week's end.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An
associate's problem could cause unavoidable
delays in moving ahead with your joint venture.
If so, use the time to look into another project
you had previously set aside.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December
21) Although a financial problem could be very
close to being resolved in your favor, it's still a
good idea to avoid unnecessary spending for at
least a little while longer.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
Support for some unwelcome workplace decisions begins to show up, and continues to build,
so that by week's end, the gregarious Goat is as
popular as ever.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. Deciding to attend a social function you might have earlier tried to avoid could
turn out to be one of the best decisions you've
made in a long time.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting
into a new situation could prove to be a more
difficult experience than you expected. Don't
hesitate to ask for advice in coping with some
of the more irksome challenges.

Travel Q & A
Q
: We'll be making a quick trip
to Boston in three weeks. We'll
have Monday through Friday,
and we'll probably be doing a couple
of college visits. Where would you recommend that we stay, and what activities are there for teen boys who can
take some museums, historical sites,
outdoor activities and good eating?
A: You might stay at the Hotel
Marlowe, just barely in Cambridge
and on the water, which means that
it has easy access to both Boston and
Cambridge. It's near MIT, and it's an
easy ride on the red line to Harvard
Square. Plus, you can walk right over
the bridge and get to Charles Street/
Beacon Hill and then very easily to
the State House, Boston Common,
Freedom Trail, North End. My favorite museums are the Gardner (even
more interesting after the renovation/
addition) and the Institute of Contemporary Art. One of my new fave
restaurants is Alden & Harlow, right
in Harvard Square, but you should
also try to hit one of Ana Sortun's
and/or Barbara Lynch's places: Ana's
include Oleana, Sofra and the new
Sarma. Barbara's include No. 9 Park,
Sportello, B&G Oysters and Butcher
Shop.

Q: I'm looking for a Spanish beach
vacation, hopefully somewhere in
Catalonia. We're heading to Barcelona for a few days and then would
like to have some relaxing beach time
with access to other activities — think
Outer Banks with nearby hiking and
castles. In my cursory review of options, it seems that I can get castles
and coast, but beaches are hard to
come by. Any suggestions?
A: You might consider Tossa de
Mar, which could fit your bill. Painter
Marc Chagall liked it well enough to
call it the "Blue Paradise."
— Zofia Smardz
Q: Is it worth it to buy travel insurance for (expensive) airline tickets
only? I'll be purchasing tickets for
travel overseas, but I'm staying with
friends, so my only expense is the
tickets.
A: Yes, it can be worthwhile for an
expensive ticket. Generally, any trip
that costs more than $5,000 is a good

Q: We'd love to visit Australia next
year and spend about two weeks
there. What time of year is best, and
what are the top three "must-see"
sites?
A: Remember that seasons are reversed Down Under, so our winter is
their summer. That said, Australian
winter is actually the most pleasant
time of year in the most popular parts
of the country, with daytime highs
ranging from the high 60s to the high
80s, and little if any rain. This is also
peak tourist season, though, especially June to August, so best to travel
earlier than June or after August.
Picking the top three sights is a challenge, but you must see Sydney, a fantastic city, with the Opera House and
the harbor; the Great Barrier Reef, an
absolute must-do; and I'd pick Uluru,
the mystical rock in the middle of the
outback, as the third, but it is hard to
get to. All may not be doable in one
vacation.
— Zofia Smardz
Q: A friend and I are traveling to
England in mid-June. We'll have a few
days in London, a couple of nights in
Oxford and a few days in Bath. We
plan to take the train to each new destination. Should we buy our tickets in
advance? We've booked all our hotels,
so travel flexibility isn't a huge issue.
A: If you know where you need to
be and when, it wouldn't hurt to buy
in advance. It will be cheaper, and especially since you're getting into peak
travel season, you'll have the peace of
mind knowing that you won't miss
your hotel accommodations.
— Becky Krystal
Q: Have you any experience with
Southwest fares around Thanksgiving? They've recently opened their
booking through the holidays, but all
their "wanna get away" fares to return
from Thanksgiving on Sunday, Nov.
30, are unavailable. Is there any hope
that these fares will become available
when the more expensive "anytime"
fares don't sell?
A: I wouldn't count on any sales.
Thanksgiving is the busiest travel
weekend of the year, and flights go
out full, especially on popular routes.
All airlines typically have sale blackout dates around Thanksgiving and
Christmas. Once in a while, they'll
launch last-minute sales, but typically
the times/dates for flying are limited.
Around Thanksgiving, for example,
you might see a sale that applies to
flights that depart Thanksgiving Day
and return Tuesday.

Q: My family, which includes three
young kids, is traveling to Mexico for
the first time. Playa del Carmen, staying in a timeshare. My only concern
is getting sick — not really my husband or me, but our young children.
My understanding is that this worry
is not that big a deal where we're staying because hotels and restaurants all
use filtered water now. True? Any tips
on how not to get sick?
A: I've visited Playa del Carmen
several times and I've not been sick,
but I stayed at resorts that had reserve osmosis systems. And although
I ate raw fruit and veggies and used
their ice, I drank bottled water. And I
wasn't stingy with the hand sanitizer.
— Carol Sottili
Q: I've heard a lot about Costa Rica,
but I'm wondering about Panama. Is
Costa Rica really better and worth
what appears to be a lot more money?
A: Costa Rica has a reputation as
having better-than-average infrastructure and a wide variety of resorts and organized tours. It seems
to attract Americans because they
feel comfortable there. But Panama
is somewhat similar, and I would not
hesitate to go there.
— Carol Sottili
Q: I am about to book tickets for a
reunion in Seattle and am thinking of
spending an extra week to drive up
to Victoria and Vancouver. Is driving
better than public bus or train?
A: The only time you'll want a car
is in Victoria, so you can get out and
explore Vancouver Island — which
you should, because it's gorgeous.
You can play this a few ways. Take the
passenger-only Clipper from Seattle
to Victoria, drive around, then take
another ferry to Vancouver. Or take a
train or bus from Seattle to Vancouver, followed by a boat to Victoria.
— Becky Krystal
Q: I am starting to look into a trip
to Vietnam: Is Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh
City the larger, more usual airport to
fly into?
A: Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh is the
largest airport in Vietnam, but Hanoi
(HAN) isn't too far behind. Almost
30 airlines fly from the United States
into SGN and about 20 into HAN,
none of them nonstop.
— Joe Yonan
Q: We're a family of four planning
a 10-day trip to the Pacific Northwest in late July. We're torn between
splitting the time between Seattle and
Portland or Seattle and Vancouver.
Which would you recommend?
A: You won't go wrong on either
pairing. I might lean toward SeattleVancouver. I like the notion of crossing the border to another country.
I've heard only raves about Vancouver
(not that Portland isn't awesome).

fix the error. A third mentioned that
he's "afraid to throw out a folderol" on
air for reasons of both meaning and
pronunciation.
Personally, it's when I encounter
Latin terms that I come up against
my linguistic Waterloo. Prima facie.
De minimis. Sui generis. I'm hugely
impressed when others squeeze these
into spoken discourse. I'm terrified to
use them myself and, ipso facto, never
do.
I could sense the hot-cheeked embarrassment among my fellow Slatesters when I asked them to recall
past bubble vocab fails. One editor
recounted that she pronounced palliative as "puh-LIE-a-tive" during a
Slate meeting, and then felt dumb
when ensuing speakers pronounced
it the right way. Another staffer remembered the time he pronounced
epitome as "EPP-i-tohm" in high
school, and then, to his eternal mortification, insisted he was right after
his teacher gently corrected him. And
let us all extend our sympathies to the
video producer who repeatedly spoke
of "de-NOO-mint" in a college film
class. Even lexicographical luminaries like David Foster Wallace have
experienced bubble vocab moments.
"In my very first seminar in college,"
Wallace revealed in a live online chat
in 1996, "I pronounced facade 'fakade.' The memory's still fresh and
raw."
(And just in case that last paragraph
popped your bubble: It's "PAL-eea-tiv," "epp-IT-uh-me," "DAY-noomahn," and "fuh-SOD.")
But is reaching for bubble vocabulary actually shameful? To our discredit, we do seem especially tempted

A
little while back, I was chatting with a friend when he
described a situation as "execrable." He pronounced it "ex-EHcrable." I'd always thought it was "EXecrable." But execrable is a word I'd
mostly just read in books, had rarely
heard spoken, and had never once,
in my whole life, uttered aloud — in
large part because I wasn't exactly
sure how to say it, and because the nuances of its definition (beyond "bad")
escaped me.
Since we have a trusting, forthright
relationship, I decided to broach the
topic. "Is that how you pronounce
that word?" I asked. "And what exactly does it mean?" Here my friend
confessed he was not 100 percent
certain on either count. He added
that, earlier that same day, he'd pronounced avowed with three syllables
and then immediately wondered if it
might only have two.
We've all experienced moments in
which we brush up against the ceilings of our personal lexicons. I call
it "bubble vocabulary." Words on the
edge of your ken, whose definitions
or pronunciations turn out to be just
out of grasp as you reach for them.
The words you basically know but,

middle of a job interview, an all-staff
meeting, a college seminar or a radio
segment. These are, not coincidentally, occasions when we might wish
to appear a smidge more erudite than
we really are. (Bubble vocab alert! Is
that "air-yuh-dite" or "er-oo-dite"?)
But if our impulse to employ words
that we don't quite know is a bit peacocky, I don't think we should feel
chagrined when we're cut down to
size. Excessive abashment when our
vocab goes wrong is, in my view,
counterproductive. It has a chilling
effect. We become reluctant to reach
for the verbal brass ring the next time
an opportunity comes along.
To create an environment that encourages bubble vocab leaps of faith,
we must consider our response in
the event that someone doesn't stick
the landing. What should we do if
we hear someone else incorrectly attempt a sesquipedalian mot juste?
One school holds that you must let
the error pass unmentioned, but this
is, as one Slate-ster put it, like letting
a friend leave lunch with pesto flecks
in her teeth. Another tactic: the facesaving technique in which you, as
soon as is possible after the mistake
has occurred, pronounce the word
the correct way within earshot of the
offender — without acknowledging
the earlier boner. A third camp advocates a more passive-aggressive tack:
"Oh, is that how you pronounce that
word?" they might inquire, with faux
innocence. "I always thought misogyny had a soft g."
I side with the Slate copy editor who
offers this wisdom, gleaned from an
occasion on which he mispronounced
risible as "rise-able": "I was corrected
in the very best way possible: quickly
and reflexively by the corrector, without judgment, like an executioner
with a sharp, dispassionate blade." I
further concur with his addendum:
"The worst is when no one corrects
you! Because then they are silently
judging you instead of treating you as
they would a friend."
But take comfort in this: Vocabulary is one of the few skills that improve as we get older. Some studies show you can count on reliable
growth in the size of your vocabulary
well into your 70s. So you don't have
arrogate and abrogate down cold, just
yet. Give it time.

Prayerful Thoughts
By Linda Childs
Special to The New York Eagle News
Dear Father in Heaven,
Unlike many people, I did not grow up going to church. I didn't discover You
Lord until I was an adult, and then it was some years before I realized that just
knowing You exist is a little like knowing there’s a school building—if you never
step foot inside, it does you no good at all and you don't learn or grow as a result
of that tidbit of knowledge. You don't get to experience all that the school has to
offer, or even know that it has a wide variety of opportunities to learn, grow and
enjoy all that life has to offer.
As a result, when I did start to really discover You and start my walk with You,
I did not have any preconceived notions. I was like a child, a preschooler, wideeyed at the wonder of You, ready to drink in all that would be revealed to me, as
I am still.
Many years ago I decided to take up tennis, as some friends played and invited
me to join in. Some of them were taking lessons, so I decided I would do the same,
as I knew nothing whatsoever about the sport. The tennis coach said that was the
absolute best way to do it, so that I did not have any bad habits or incorrect ways
of doing things that had to be unlearned or corrected. I think my walk with You is
a little bit like that—not that I would have had a bad start in a church, but that
in my case, my start came from You through the Holy Spirit. Then, as I attended
church through the years, and heard various pastors, ministers and priests speak
about You, I felt that You were there with me, helping me to understand their messages, as You have done ever since.
Many people might think it’s a disadvantage not having grown up in the church.
But for me it’s a good thing to be a novice, because when one knows they are a
beginner, knows they’re not an expert at something, the one realizes that there is a
lot learning and growing to do. Thus, a person is open to that and ready to take it
on. When you think you know everything and you're an expert and have nothing
more to learn, and that’s when you actually have the most to learn. Thank You
God , Jesus and the Holy Spirit, for taking me under Your wing as it were, and
guiding and participating in each step of my growth in You.
Amen ■
Understanding Women
A man walking along Tswassen beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he
said out loud, “Lord grant me one wish.” Suddenly the sky clouded above his
head and in a booming voice the Lord said, “Because you have TRIED to be
faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish.”
The man said, “Build a bridge to Vancouver Island so I can drive over anytime I want.”
The Lord said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous
challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the
bottom of the Georgia Strait! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do
it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little
more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and
glorify me.”
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, “Lord, I wish that
I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they
are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they
mean when they say “nothing”, and how I can make a woman truly happy.”
The Lord replied, “You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?” ■

with a Secretarial Degree. She went
to work in Boston, MA, served in
the Peace Corps in Africa, moved to
Hawaii until she went to Rochester,
and worked in the Financial Office at
the University of Rochester until she
retired. She spent many happy and
fruitful years involved in volunteer
programs which fulfilled her lifelong wish to help others. Lynn always
loved the outdoors and participated
in many favorite sports; she also enjoyed music, reading, theatre, friends,
cluster of blossom-laden trees.
I walk with a vague idea of where to
find the lilacs, of which the park has
1,200 specimens across more than
500 varieties. I pass through a grove
of magnolias, which aren't too shabby
either — starbursts in shades of pink,
purple and white.
But I know how potently fragrant
lilacs are. And the lack of scent begins
to worry me. I come around a bend
in a path, and the scene confirms my
suspicions: No blooming lilacs yet.
Walking on, I see a promising tree
and carefully step down the steep
slope for a look. There are clusters of
dark purple buds. Then, around the
side are a few shy, honest-to-goodness blooms. I shove my face into
them, closing my eyes, drinking in
their heady scent. Sensory time travel
— I'm 15, in my parents' front yard,
smelling the lilacs on my way into the
house, my mom standing to greet me
on the front porch.
This. This is what I wanted to experience.
Perhaps coming early wasn't so bad.
I'm not sure that my sense of nostalgia — and my allergies — could have
survived a full lilac onslaught.
Next I visit the park's Lamberton
Conservatory, taking particular pleasure in the collection of cactuses, with
amusingly named varieties such as
Aaron's Beard and Electrode.
From there, I walk to the Rochester
Civic Garden Center's headquarters
at Warner Castle. The building looks
straight out of England, but I'm more
drawn to the charming little sunken
garden. I admire it for a few minutes
and leave before I can make the couple having their engagement photos
taken too self-conscious.
That night I have dinner in Rochester's Neighborhood of the Arts. On
my way back to my B&B, I find myself
across the street from the Eastman
House. It's closed now, but I decide to
walk through the gardens anyway. I'm
not alone: I run into gardener Dan,
still pushing that wheelbarrow. He's
not too bothered by after-hours visitors, so long as they don't leave a mess
for him in the morning.
I sit in the loggia in the west garden, the sun peeking through one of
the arches behind me, and snap a few
pictures. The camera is digital, but
the concept and the garden are all his:
Thanks, George Eastman.

that were inspired by classic beach
clubs and lakeside resorts. One can
easily envision using them in a kids'
bedroom (a great choice for upholstered headboards) or playroom
(www.ralphlaurenhome.com, from
$90 per yard). Other favorite collections of mine, besides Holly Hunt
(my first choice for neutral upholstery), are the cheery graphic prints
and floral designs of Link Outdoor
and the versatile stripes, solids, neutrals, prints and patterns from Perennials, both of which are available only
through designers.
But for the at-home DIYer, there
are affordable online retail sources.

have a very different feel from the solution-dyed acrylics. Polyester fabrics
range between $20 and $30 a yard,
whereas solution-dyed fabrics will
run you $30 to $60 a yard (or more at
high-end retailers).
When caring for your outdoor
fabric indoors, use natural soap and
lukewarm water, sponge spots briskly,
rinse with clean water to remove dirt,
then air-dry. I have also used Formula 409 and Mrs. Meyer's All-Purpose
Cleaner with great success. Just make
sure you don't overspray the spot and
that you rinse it fully with clean water.
