Interested In Selling Dear Interested: If you don’t need your life insurance policy any longer, are having a difficult time keeping up with the premium payments or could just use the money, a life settlement is definitely an option worth considering. How it Works A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party company for cash. Life settlements are typically best suited for people over age 65 who own a policy with a face value of $250,000 or more. Historically, if an owner of a life insurance policy decided they no longer needed it, they would either let the policy lapse or turn it in for a meager cash surrender value. But now, with the life settlement option, you can actually sell your policy for two to three times more than the cash surrender value would be, but less than its net death benefit. Once you sell it however, the life settlement company then becomes the new owner of the policy, pays the future premiums and collects the death benefit when you die. How much money you can expect to get with a life settlement will depend on your age, health and life expectancy, the type of insurance policy, the premium costs and the value of your policy. Most sellers generally get 20 to 30 percent of the death benefit. If you’re interested in a life settlement here are some things you should know: Shop around: To ensure you get the best deal, get quotes from several brokers or life settle- ment providers. Also, find out what fees you’ll be required to pay. To locate credible provid- ers or brokers, the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) provides a referral service at lisa.org. Tax implications: Life settlements are also taxable if the cash surrender value of the policy exceeds the premiums paid on it. This can be very complicated, so be sure to consult a tax advisor. Also, be aware that receiving money from a life settlement can affect eligibility for public assistance programs like Medicaid or food stamps. Be cautious: Life settlements are not regulated in every state so be careful who you deal with. Make sure the broker or life settlement firm you choose is either licensed in your state or is a member of LISA. Other Options If you don’t like the idea of selling your life insurance policy but could use some extra cash, here are some other options your insurance agent can help you investigate: • Cash value withdraw: If you have any cash value in your policy, you can prob- ably withdraw some of it to meet your immediate needs and keep your policy for your beneficiaries. • A loan: You may also be able to use your policy to secure a loan from the insurance company, as well as a bank, credit union or other lender. • Annuity “1035” conversion: Find out if you’re able to convert the cash value of your policy into an immediate annuity, which will make regular payments to you for a set num- ber of years or for the rest of your life. • Accelerated benefit: If you’re terminally ill, some policies have an accelerated death benefit which pays some of the policy’s death benefit before you die. • Reduced premiums: If premium payments are your problem, your life insurer may be able to convert your policy to a paid-up policy, or lower your death benefit amount in order to reduce your premiums. Or, consider asking your beneficiaries to help pay the premiums. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

One Of A Kind: Featuring unique homes and gardens and the people whoe create them Story and Photos By Chris Bertrand AFTER DECEMBER WINDSTORM, REPLANTING SIERRA MADRE’S TREE CANOPY Homeowners Crane in 17,000 Lb. Oak to Replace Fallen Tree After several hundred Sierra Madre trees were uprooted or snapped in the December 1 windstorm, remnants of the deforestation of foothill communities like Sierra Madre still remain. Many homes still have enormous tarps applied like huge blue band aids, where shingles were stripped or trees fell through the roof that fateful night. Oak Crest Drive, running along the eastern perimeter of Bailey Canyon, is representative of the damage wreaked by 100+ mile an hour canyon winds. Within two blocks, dozens of trees were damaged or downed on that night. One Oak Crest home had a large oak sever part of the roof. A block away, on Grove and Carter, a home was buried under huge Eucalyptus, requiring cranes to unearth the remaining structure. Other homes had three and four trees snapped as a burst of wind traveled Bailey Canyon. Oak Crest residents, the Eberhards, were devastated that the oak tree they considered the focal point of their landscape and privacy from the street, tipped at a dangerous angle over their driveway after the storm.The couple had spent years trying to save the majestic heritage tree, which was plagued by the Armillaria fungus in the soil, and years of detrimental summer irrigation by a former owner. Oaks native to Southern California tolerate precious little summertime watering, as the indigenous climate usually doesn’t provide any. Thirsty plantings and their attendant sprinkler systems are often a deadly combination for these trees. At the recommendation of Osti Tree Service, the Eberhards engaged Sierra Madre based, Gagnier Landscape to search out a large replacement tree. “We wanted the biggest one possible,” said Carolyn Eberhard. Joe Gagnier, CEO of the company, indicated the new oak, a southern Live Oak, with a Latin name of Quercus Virginiana, came in an 84 inch box covering its root system from Senna Tree’s Sunland inventory. After being “field dug”, the tree acclimated to its boxed root environment at Senna for a couple of years before this installation. Native to the American South, which gets regular summertime rains, this variety is less susceptible to the Armillaria fungus in local soil, retaining natural defense to it. “This fungus really wreaks havoc (on oak trees) under warm conditions where there’s moisture.” said Gagnier. According to the company’s website, www.SennaTree.com, their in-house capability and expertise preserves and relocates trees from 48 inch diameter and up, and grows “over 20 acres of unique, one of a kind, specimen trees and palms, 60 thru 132 inch box size, plus palms 8 to 80 feet in trunk height.” Gagnier chuckled, remembering the search for the Eberhard’s perfect tree. “The search went on for a couple of months. I sent photographs of the best looking stuff I was finding. Every time I sent a picture, Carolyn said, ‘Bigger!’” Weighing in at 17,000 pounds and about 23 feet high, the Eberhard’s newly acquired tree was installed with a huge crane and a crew of six, amid great neighborhood excitement on April 12. About a dozen looked on, most with cameras rolling. The new oak of Oak Crest is not the largest tree Gagnier has installed. That honor goes to the Stone Pine in a 96 inch box procured from Valley Crest Tree, which they installed at a Beverly Park estate off Mulholland. Oak Crest tree installation by crane The Oak Crest installation was one of the more challenging, however, due to the steep grade of the street. “Senna is my first call for the bigger trees,” said Gagnier. “I like them because their main focus is as a tree company, and they own all their cranes.” “We tried to figure out the best approach, from the driveway, the street above, or from the curb, because of the angles. Their more experienced crane operators came up with extra gear to level the crane, with special ramps and blocking,” he said, to accommodate the difficult site. Since the windstorm, Gagnier has been very busy in the Pasadena area, installing ten 60 inch diameter boxed trees at Digging a four foot hole for the tree roots. one site last week, and several other large, mature “reforestation” efforts locally. And, yes. Gagnier installs smaller trees, replanting the local leafy canopy one tree at a time. For more information, contact Gagnier Landscape at 626- 355-5977.
A WARM INVITATION
In spring and summer, it's easy to envision ways to enhance your home's curb appeal with a trimmed lawn, planted and potted flowers, and patios and decks arranged with outdoor furniture and an inviting grill. But when the leaves fall and the temperatures drop, even homes in temperate climes undergo a winter transformation that can challenge a seller to create exterior appeal. When it comes to landscaping and colorful plants, there are plenty of ornamental grasses and plants that look great in wintertime. Purple cabbages, fountain grasses, and potted ev- ergreens along pathways and by the door all add seasonal color and appeal. And obviously, your sidewalk, entry path, patio and deck should be clear of leaves and/or snow. Be sure to keep in mind that shorter days mean that buyers are that much more likely to see your home after sunset, so make sure all your floodlights are clean and in working order, highlighting your home's exterior features. Lamps with soft lighting in all your windows will also offer a warm invitation. Finally, just to cover your bases, have photos available of your home in all its glory during the spring and summer months. This gives buyers a better sense of your home's appeal during all the seasons of the year. Your agent will have more tips for attracting buyers in any kind of weather.

Except for the office of U.S. President and county central committee offices, offices that used to be Election Day known as “partisan offices” (e.g., state constitutional offices, U.S. Congress, and state legislative offices) are now known as “voter-nominated” offices. What used to be known as a “political party affiliation” is now known as a “political party preference.” Prior to the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, all candidates running in a primary election, with the same political party affiliation, were placed on a partisan ballot to be voted on by voters of the same political party. The top vote-getter from each qualified political party would move on to the general election. At the general election, candidates could gain access to the ballot using the independent nomination process and other could run as write-in candidates. Under the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, all candidates running in a pri- mary election, regardless of their party preference, will appear on a single primary election ballot and voters can vote for any candidate. The top two overall vote-getters – not the top vote-getter from each qualified political party – will move on to the general election. Additionally, candidates are no longer allowed to run as “independents” or “write-ins” at the general election. Prior to the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, a candidate for a partisan office would have the political party they were registered with listed next to or below their name on the primary and general election ballots. A candidate who won at the primary election was then considered to be the official nominee of their political party. Now, under the Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act, candidates for voter-nominated office must indicate their party preference or lack of party preference on the primary and general election ballots. Political parties can no longer formally nominate candidates for voter-nominated offices, so a candidate who finishes in the top two at the primary election and advances to the general election is not the official nominee of any party for the office.

Music of the Spheres: Zinta & The Zoots, Starring Cassiopeia A
the historic 83-foot radio telescope at Dwingeloo in Holland was pointed at Cas A, a powerful source of radio-frequency emissions in the constellation Cassiopeia, in order to relay the live signal to the stage in Canterbury during the performance. These electromagnetic waves, on arrival at Earth, were morphed with Zinta’s live vocal using a Vocoder, creating a synthesis of two temporally distinct sound sources, fusing human and cosmic “voices” across time and space. Zinta & The Zoots, led by Ms. Zinta Egle, made their debut performance in Canterbury, England, in 2008. The band embodies a refreshing disregard for genre limitations and expectations. Their focus is on creating melodic, characterful, stand-alone songs and the arrangement ethos is to express each piece in a pure, inventive and authentic way using whatever comes to hand or mind. Whether it’s electric, acoustic, or electronic - from radios to harmoniums to Max/MSP - anything that makes a noise may become part of the backdrop for Zinta’s vocals. BOUNCING MUSIC OFF THE MOON The group recently revisited the radio dish at Dwingeloo to conduct some additional musical experiments - this time treating their song to a “moonbounce.” Zinta sang an a capella version of the song, phrase by phrase, into a hand-held radio transmitter; and this was sent to the Moon via the radio telescope dish, to be returned to Earth as an echo with a 2.5 second delay. The resulting recordings of this event are currently being developed into a new, remixed version of the song. The Dwingeloo Radio Observatory (near Dwingeloo, m. Westerveld, in the northeastern part of The Netherlands), is a single-dish radio telescope with a diameter of 25 meters (83 feet). Construction started in 1954, and the telescope was completed in 1956. At that time it was the largest radio telescope in the world. As of the year 2000, it was no longer in operation in an official capacity, and since August 2009 it is officially a Dutch industrial heritage monument. The C.A. Muller Radio Astronomy Station Foundation (“CAMRAS” for short) restored the telescope to working order, with the consent of ASTRON, the owner of the telescope. At the present time, manager Paul Boven (JIVE, CAMRAS) and teams of radio amateurs and amateur astronomers use the Dwingeloo telescope for a variety of projects, one being EME (communications). EME, also known as “moonbounce,” allows people on different parts of Earth to communicate via the Moon. In this A British musical group named “Zinta & The Zoots” recently gave a most unusual concert at Canturbury technique, radio wave signals are aimed at the Moon by one location, bounce off the Moon’s surface, College, England.

This brings to mind another observation about empathy, from 400 years ago: “Nothing is so hard for those who abound in riches as to conceive how others can be in want. - Jonathan Swift WHICH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL MOST TURN OFF INDEPENDENT VOTERS? by Joe Gandelman
The 2012 Presidential election campaign is now shaping up as a po- litical life and death battle over independent voters, where the los- ing candidate will be the one who turns them off the most. Comedian-columnist Will Durst likened the 2012 Presidential pri- mary race to the mania surrounding the video game Angry Birds: “The object of ‘Angry Birds’ is to use a slingshot to fling various flightless birds at flimsy houses built by egg-thieving green pigs. The object of the 2012 Republican primary race is, well, pretty much the same thing: to toss accusations and blame at the White House in or- der to steal independents from the Democrats. All while emitting unintelligible screeches, squeals and shrieks.” On the Democratic side the race is now on to toss accusations and blame at Republicans to prevent independents from going over to presumptive Republican nominee former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and to support Barack Obama. The danger is when the smoke clears on Election Day this high-stakes Angry Birds game will end with a political process resembling what flying pigeons drop on people, or a dead duck where a big chunk of voters is more disgusted by political parties and political rhetoric than ever before. that issue alive. Compare your foes to famous dictators, or slap an extreme label on them and or com- pare them to political mass murders (Stalin, Hitler, Nazis, fascists, socialists, Marxists, Communists), The indisputable fact is that 2012 race will be all about which party can win -- some independents so when Indies look at you they hear The Twilight Zone theme. would say “deceive” -- the greatest number of independent voters. And often contradictory polls now suggest indies are up for grabs. • Push the polarization button and only talk to your party’s ideological base. Ignore, downplay or evade serious talk about the economy and what needs to be done next. A Gallup tracking poll has Romney ahead of Obama 45 percent to 43 percent and leading in indepen- dent voters, 45 percent to 39 percent. A CNN poll has Obama leading Romney 52 percent to 43 percent Team Obama and the Democrats seemingly assume that -- no matter what -- they’ll eventually win in- and ahead with women and indies. A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds Obama’s lead over Romney has shrunk dependent voters.” GOPers seem to feel they can easily paper over extremist rhetoric from the Repub- with Obama at 47 percent and Romney at 43 percent. lican primaries. The Daily Beast’s Michael Tomasky sees “signs that the Obama campaign is sounding ridiculously overconfident.” This could be because neither Obama and the Democrats nor Romney These polls come within the context of polarized American politics, where the center is notably weak. and the Republicans fully understand the independent voters they’re trying to harvest. Moderate Republicans are all but extinct in the GOP and after the next election most conservative “Blue Dog Democrats” will likely be history as well. Moderates have all but vanished in Congress. But independent voters understand Republicans and Democrats. Each party is largely defined by and reflects its ideological base. And the ranks of indies grow. Inde- pendent voters are often split between those who left their old parties and still lean towards them and Which is why many independents remain independents. those who simply like to independently judge each issue and candidate separately.
Here’s some advice to both parties on how to LOSE independent voters in 2012: Joe Gandelman is a veteran journalist who wrote for newspapers overseas and in the United States. He has appeared on cable news show political panels and is Editor-in-Chief of The Moderate Voice, an Internet hub for independents, • Make your hypocrisy blatant, so what you say is later negated by press reports of what you said be- centrists and moderates.
