Looking Back...... January 2013
Bike Lost 50 Years Ago
Swallowed up by a Tree
A 99-year-old woman says she's finally found a bike her son lost half a century ago - inside a tree.
Helen Puz, of Vashon Island, Washington state, says she received the bike as a gift from neighbours after she was widowed in 1954.
"People were very sympathetic and generous," Mrs Puz told ABC News.
"We were given a girl's bike and my eight-year-old son Don seemed the natural one to ride it."
But young Don was apparently not too keen on riding a girl's bike and so conveniently "lost" it.
But Mrs Puz recently read about a bike that had been "swallowed up" in a tree and was now stuck in the trunk five feet off the ground.
She and the now adult Don visited the tree and confirmed the bike was indeed the one that Don lost so many years ago

Idaho man uses warm breath to free sparrow with feet frozen to metal pipe
CALDWELL, Idaho, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- An Idaho man used the warmth of his breath to rescue a sparrow he found with its feet frozen to a cold metal pipe.
Nelson Wilson posted a video to YouTube showing the sparrow he found with its feet frozen to the metal pipe on New Year's Day.
Wilson said the pipe formed part of the fence protecting his water tank.
The video shows Wilson use his hands and breath to warm up the pipe enough to free the sparrow's feet without injuring it.
"While feeding my horses on New Year's morning I noticed a solitary sparrow perched upon the steel fence near the water tank," Wilson wrote. "The tank is heated to keep it from freezing. It is not uncommon for birds to drink from the heated tank. Apparently this unfortunate bird had gotten its feet wet and, while making its exit, had become frozen to the fence in the prevailing near zero Idaho temperatures."
He wrote the rescue was "a delightful way to start the new year."

Quick Guide to Home Financing
Ten legal needs parents don't expect
Many parents might wonder why they would ever need legal assistance themselves, much less for their children. But the truth is, even if you raised the perfect child who never got into a bit of trouble, there's a good chance you might someday have a legal need related to your child.
Just as is often the case for adults, legal needs regarding your children can occur when you least expect them. Courtesy of ARAG, a global provider of legal solutions, here are 10 situations where a legal issue might arise related to your children.
1. A legal document called Medical Treatment Authorization for Minors authorizes medical personnel to treat your child if you're not there and cannot be contacted. It also gives your child's school or daycare the authority to obtain emergency medical treatment. This is a good idea if you are unavailable during the day or travel frequently.
2. If your child is involved in sports and gets a concussion or suffers heat stroke, you may need to consult an attorney if best sport safety practices related to such injuries weren't followed.
3. If your child is bullied, resources to educate yourself on your rights and responsibilities may be helpful as you strive to keep your child safe and take the appropriate action to address the issue. Same goes if your child is accused of bullying.
4. If one of your child's friends gets hurt while he or she is at your house, you may need legal advice regarding liability issues.
5. As your children enter college, they could experience a legal issue such as a dispute with their landlord over a lease or other rental issues. Online resources and documents can help you take the appropriate actions when a lease is signed.
6. Once your child reaches driving age, it's possible he or she could get into an accident and need legal assistance if there's a disagreement with your insurance company or another driver.
7. If you don't see eye to eye with your child's college over a tuition bill or an issue related to academics, you may need legal advice.
8. Online safety is a big issue for children of all ages. Educating your children about Internet safety issues is important, but if your child becomes the victim of cyberbullying, Internet scams or other online crimes, legal guidebooks can help you understand your options and an attorney can help you to take action.
9. If you or your student takes out student loans and then you can't repay them, an attorney or financial resources can help you understand your repayment options.
10. If you have a college savings plan in place and are unsure of how to properly allocate your savings in accordance with tax laws, you may benefit from the help of an attorney or financial counselor.
These are just a few examples of situations where having access to educational resources or an attorney could help. Considering other "adult" issues that also may require legal assistance, such as modifying your will or settling a dispute with a contractor, a legal plan like those offered by ARAG can really be a benefit.
These types of plans, which are often offered through your employer as part of your benefits package, give you access to educational resources and tools as well as attorneys when you have a legal question or need. To learn more about legal plans and legal benefits, visit www.ARAGgroup.com.

(BPT) - It’s an all too familiar monthly event: you write out a rent check and wait for the funds to disappear from your bank account. But what if instead of making endless payments on something you don’t own, you could own a home of your own? When you finance a home purchase with a mortgage, you build equity and increase your percentage of home ownership with each payment made. “Homeownership may sound like a big step, but it’s not as out of reach as you might think,” says Eric Hamilton, President of Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance.
Vanderbilt Mortgage offers these tips to home financing to help you realize a place of your very own:
Assess your financial situation.
Before you even begin to look at homes, you should know what you can afford. Consider your debt-to-income ratio which is your monthly income compared to your total monthly bills. After figuring your ratio you will have a better idea as to what you can afford for a mortgage payment. To determine what your monthly mortgage payment might be, use an online mortgage calculator.
Budget and save.
Financing a home begins with budgeting to ensure you have an appropriate down payment. Be sure to set a realistic goal and use the idea of your future home as an incentive to stick to it. You can set up a savings plan, evaluate your current spending, and consider earning extra income to help reach your savings goal. Don’t forget to celebrate your achievements along the way toward reaching your goal!
Maintain your credit.
There are a number of ways you can build your credit, ranging from opening a checking or savings account to paying all of your bills on time. Getting a secured credit card can also help to build your credit. Be sure to monitor how often you use the credit card and how much you spend so as not to create revolving credit debt. Try to minimize your outstanding debt and keep existing debts in check.
Apply for a loan.
Know ahead of time what information and documents you’ll need to complete a home loan application to help make the application experience as easy as possible. Documents needed may include: proof of income, employment information from the past two years, state-issued identification, proof of residency, and your social security card. Brush up on home loan terms so you can be knowledgeable throughout the process.
Stay on track with your payments.
After you have moved into your dream home, be sure to make your mortgage payments in full and on time. If you can, plan an optional early mortgage payoff by making additional payments toward your principal balance each month.
Care for your home.
The financial responsibility of owning a home is just the beginning. You worked hard to finally get to this point, so why not keep your home in top shape? Create a home maintenance checklist and make a point to regularly go through it. Keep track of routine items like checking HVAC filters, cleaning the sink disposal and cleaning out the gutters.
Follow this guide to fulfill your dream of owning a home. For more information on home financing, visit vmfhomeloan.com.

Advanced breast cancer community
advocating for greater support
A breast cancer diagnosis at any stage can be devastating. However, women with advanced breast cancer are also faced with the overwhelming reality that they must begin additional therapy, or that they will receive treatment for the remainder of their lives. There are an estimated 150,000 women in the United States living with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Stage III locally advanced breast cancer and stage IV metastatic breast cancer - collectively referred to as advanced breast cancer - are the most progressed forms of the illness.
In a society that has built a culture of breast cancer support around pink and "survivors," this view is not always embraced by women with advanced breast cancer. Similarly, patients whose breast cancer has metastasized often struggle with feelings of guilt and confusion over why their cancer has progressed, even when they tried to do everything right. This, unfortunately, has caused many with the disease to feel isolated and alone.
Ginny Knackmuhs, 61, of Wyckoff, N.J. was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer in 2009. She remembers well the frustrating experience of searching for information and trying to identify with resources based on others' recommendations. Ginny is now a board member of Metastatic Breast Cancer Network, one of 13 advocacy organizations that worked with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation to create Count Us, Know Us, Join Us, a campaign that was created to amplify the voice of people living with advanced breast cancer. The campaign aims to educate others about the unique challenges and needs of advanced breast cancer patients in part through the revitalization of www.advancedbreastcancercommunity.org, a website that serves as a strong support system for those impacted by the disease.
"It's wonderful to have a central site that incorporates so much information for a patient diagnosed with advanced breast cancer," says Knackmuhs. "The beauty of this site is that it has great information with links to a wealth of resources, all in one place, for caregivers and patients."
According to Knackmuhs, many people whose breast cancer has recurred, or whose initial diagnosis is advanced breast cancer, often do not feel understood by early breast cancer support groups. Due to the aggressive nature of the disease, these people must make permanent, life-altering changes in order to stay alive. Yet vital information and guidance about living with advanced breast cancer - crucial for the person and their family following this diagnosis - has typically not been as prevalent as resources offered to those with early breast cancer. This lack of information confronts people living with advanced breast cancer at a time when self-education is extremely important for making decisions that ultimately impact quality of life, she says.
Count Us, Know Us, Join Us also aims to help bring more recognition to advanced breast cancer by encouraging others to learn more about the disease and how to support those faced with it. Patients, supporters, caregivers, friends and family members are encouraged to visit the website and "be counted" as part of the advanced breast cancer community digital mosaic.
"The Count Us mosaic is a visual representation of supporters and those living with advanced breast cancer, as well as a symbol of unity for community," Knackmuhs says.
Adjusting to an advanced breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, and those impacted can feel that there is nowhere to turn for information tailored to their needs. The website offers the advanced breast cancer community a central location for people to address the many obstacles that come with this diagnosis.

Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend
Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend will be held January 27th thru January 29th, 2017.
Registrations must be received by January 25th! Please feel free to Share this with a special woman in your life who deserves a weekend retreat.
("We realize that times are financially difficult for many. If you cannot afford to come yet feel strongly called to be with us, please let us know! There are a few partial scholarships available plus Credit Cards can be accepted by contacting Beth at beth@rainbowofpromise.com for details.")
We are very excited to announce that Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse.
Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille invite you to come celebrate and honor our beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Let's celebrate and prepare ourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect!
Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle!
Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
