It Takes Two to Tango

T HE STORY ON DANCING and big band music in this issue brings back a flood of memories

I met my late husband Raymond on a dance floor A friend of mine at Mutual of Omaha took me to a ballroom dance class that happened to be led by a handsome young man named Raymond I think I paid for hellipoh maybe three classes

I learned enough that I was soon helping him teach others I loved dancing and I liked the handsome young man

After we were married we held classes in cou-plesrsquo homes with as many as 12 couples in a session We also had large classes at Offutt Air Force Base Raymond would stand in the middle of a very large circle with a microphone for the Base classeshellipand I would dance with all of the good-looking airmen mdashup to 50 in a class

Itrsquos amazing how many people I run into decades later that will mention that they took dance lessons from us

These were the big band days and we spent many nights dancing at Peony Park and The Music Box I treasure the many photographs of us in formal dress posing with all the big-name bandleaders whose tours included a stop in Omaha

We taught the tango cha cha rhumba fox trot waltz swinghellipeven the accordion-fueled polka

Itrsquos great to see that Arlene and Dave Beber on the dance floor at the Ozone Lounge (see story on Page 4) all dressed upmdashwith someplace to go

Keep on dancing Arlene and Dave Keep on dancing

P EONY PARK CLOSED 20 years ago A wrecking ball followed shortly after to make way for a

Hy-Vee grocery storeArlene and Dave Beber donrsquot miss the roller

coaster And they donrsquot much think about the cotton candy arcades and corn dogs They do however long for the days of dancing under the stars at the parkrsquos alfresco band shell The Royal Grove

But it doesnrsquot mean that the couple who have been married for 62 years have given up on cutting a rug The pair dubbed ldquoFred and Gingerrdquo for their dancing prowess can be spotted most every Monday night at the Ozone Lounge at Anthonyrsquos Steakhouse Thatrsquos when Mike Gurciullo and His Las Vegas Big Band hit the stage

A recent visit to the Ozone found Dave and Arlene at their table the one

closest to stage right ldquoLife is too short and too many people take

it too seriouslyrdquo Dave says ldquoDancing is a great way to lighten up feel young and have funrdquo

ldquoWersquore here to dancerdquo adds Arlene ldquobut therersquos more to it than that Everybody here including the staff is like family to us The people are warm and welcomingrdquo

Bandleader Mike Gurciullo is a virtuoso trumpet man who goes by the handle of Gooch Hersquos toured extensively including as his bandrsquos name suggests gigs in Las Vegas Gooch was also featured earlier this year in accompanying Kathy Tyree in her title role of Ella at the Omaha Community Playhouse

ldquoItrsquos great to see the same faces every weekrdquo Gooch says ldquoItrsquos an honor to play for them Itrsquos almost a spiritual experience to be able to play hererdquo he adds before also compli-menting the staff of the club ldquoEverybody

knows everybody And Dave and Arlene are crowd favorites They are an elegant couple and beautiful dancersrdquo

Gooch who announces every song title played by his 16-piece band engages the audience with more than just his tunes A night at the Ozone is chock full of friendly banter from the stage He addresses most of the dancers by name in his little asides and even included a shout-out that night to the table known affectionately as ldquoThe Wine Ladiesrdquo

While most of the crowd is middle-aged or well beyondmdashthe Bebers politely demurred when asked how old they weremdashyouth is also served on big band night

Eric and Diana Powell now of Lisle Illinois are 25-year-old Omaha natives who are self-described ldquoband nerdsrdquo They met in jazz band while at Millard West High School

ldquoI played keyboardsrdquo Eric says ldquoand Diana played the trumpetrdquo just like Gooch

ldquoWe love this musicrdquo Diana adds ldquoWersquod be here every Monday night if we couldrdquo

The Bebers say they love all kinds of music ldquoEven Hip Hoprdquo says Dave before Arlene jumps in with ldquoPolka Not so much anymorerdquo And the Beberrsquos favorite dance number ldquoOh too many to mentionrdquo Arlene says as Dave puts his two cents in by crooning the lyrics of Nat King Colersquos ldquoUnforgettablerdquo Arlene nods in agreement ldquoAt Lastrdquo [Etta James] is another onerdquo Arlene continues ldquoWe have so many favorites And we had so many favor-ite places to dance Do you remember the Red Lion Or the Leopard Lounge And the Music Boxrdquo

The lifelong Omahans who worked together in operating their own medical bill-ing company while raising six boys were the

first on the dance floor that recent Monday night as Gooch and his boys opened their first set with Duke Ellingtonrsquos ldquoDonrsquot Get Around Much Anymorerdquo

But the irony of it all is that the Bebers still do get around Quite a lot as a matter of fact The hopelessly romantic couple even return on occasion to the Royal Grove or at least to the slab of parking lot concrete on the site where they danced so many nights away over the decades

ldquoWersquoll park the car roll down the windows and turn up the radiordquo Dave explains

ldquoAnd then we dancerdquo Arlene adds ldquoWe donrsquot care who sees us or what they think We get out of the car and dance right there in the parking lotrdquo

W HEN NOT CHASING AFTER his 6-year-old pup named Lily retired

University of Nebraska-Omaha professor David Corbin is keeping things interesting

Following his 31 years teaching health edu-cation Corbin has continued to maintain an active lifestyle both mentally and physi-cally He serves on several boards including the Health Association of Nebraska and is involved in Project Extra Mile He also recently co-authored the textbook Health for Life which will be used in high schools

At the end of a long week breaking a mental sweat Corbin leads an exercise class for older adults at deFreese Manor He started the class in 1983 after giving a presentation about exercise and older adults A partici-pant asked him if he would be interested in leading such a class and he has been there every Friday since

The class ranges from 80 to 90 in age His oldest participant lived to be 105 only quit-ting at 100 Now as Corbin approaches the age of his attendees he has come to appreciate the class even more

ldquoI benefit from the range of motion and resistance exercisesrdquo says Corbin ldquoThey help me and the participants stay more fit by emphasizing the types of exercises that can help to live independentlyrdquo

The class includes many exercises that can be done while seated Many incorporate homemade stretch bands created from old tire inner tubes scarves for juggling and rubber balls

Tai chi and dance are also a part of the mix and Corbin is no newbie to the dance scene

He met his wife Josie at a dance class Shersquos the director of The Moving Company the University of Nebraska-Omaha troupe that is one of the oldest college-based modern dance companies in the country Corbin joined the company one that boasts an all-ages intergenerational roster of talent

At the age of 68 Corbin doesnrsquot plan on slowing down anytime soon

ldquoItrsquos true what people sayrdquo he says ldquoUse it or lose it Learning new things is probably the best thing you can do for healthy agingrdquo


R EMARRIED CLIENTS WITH CHILDREN present some of the most interesting and some-

times challenging estate planning situations Generally there are three common scenarios one or both have young children from a prior marriage and more are possible one or both have teenage children and more children are unlikely and one or both have adult children and possibly grandchildren

The first question I must always address with prospective clients is ldquoCan I represent both of you or do you need to have separate attorneysrdquo If there are competing distribu-tion interests I cannot represent both This can also happen if there is a big disparity in ages andor wealth

Assuming that joint representation is pos-sible and agreed to we discuss and address what will happen without planning what does the couple want to achieve and how can that best be accomplished We start with

what happens if there are no wills If a spouse dies leaving children of a prior marriage the decedentrsquos estate will be split 5050 between the surviving spouse and the children of the earlier marriage This may produce particu-larly bad results of co-ownership between the decedentrsquos children and their step-parent We also talk about the right of a surviving spouse to elect to receive up to 50 of the couplersquos estate even if there is a will that would leave less to the survivor This may lead to dis-cussions about a will contract the use of a Qualified Terminable Interest Trust (QTIP) that provides income to the survivor for life with trust assets going to the first spousersquos beneficiaries after the second spousersquos death and the need to update retirement plan IRA and life insurance beneficiary designations

Since one or both of the couple has been through a divorce we also naturally talk about how estate planning and ownership of assets acquired both before and during the

Helping Seniors Adapt to Technology

marriage (including increases in value) may affect a future division of marital property if this marriage were to fail

Having gotten those ldquopleasantriesrdquo out of the way we can now start getting to the couplersquos objectives and planning A common issue relates to the couplersquos home Letrsquos look at my experience with Susan (age 58) and Bob (age 62) who were planning what would be second marriages for both Susan had two adult children and Bob had one They were going to buy a home after the wedding and both were going to contribute equally to the $100000 down payment on a $200000 15-year first mortgage They said they planned to own it as joint tenants

But their proposed ownership of the house presented some problems Both wanted the survivor of them to be able to live in the house for the rest of their life and they wanted own-ership interests to go to their children Joint tenancy would be okay if there were a future divorce but at death it presented problems because the survivor would own 100 of the house We talked about being tenants in common with both owning 50 of the property That way both Susan and Bob could give their half to their children by will subject to a life estate in the survivor That might be okay if they were paying cash for the house but if one of them died before the mortgage was paid off the survivor would have paid more than the other for the house causing a windfall for the first decedentrsquos child(ren)

Susan and Bob decided on using a joint revocable trust to own the house with the ultimate beneficial interests being divided based on their respective contributions to the purchase

The trust dealt with the survivorrsquos occu-pancy free of rent and responsibility for mort-gage payments taxes repairs and utilities as well as possible sale and replacement prop-erty This approach allowed Susan and Bob to retain maximum flexibility while both were alive provide for the surviving spouse and equitably distribute their respective interests in their new house to their children based on their contributions to the purchase price

I am happy to report that Susan and Bob are happily married to this day

M EMORIES OF THE MORE than 360 children treated at Omaharsquos Childrenrsquos Memorial Hospital in

summer 1952 flooded back At least 14 were in iron lungs Thirteen died that summer

It was the worst outbreak in Nebraska history The diseasersquos original name was Infantile Paralysis because it seemed to primarily target young children But some victims were adults

Unlike many of the other younger doctors at Childrenrsquos Memorial Hospital at the time Oberst had experienced treating polio while serving in Japan in the US Army Medical Corps When he joined Omaha Childrenrsquos Clinic in 1951 he and some of the older pediatricians were the only doctors who had seen a case of polio in their lifetime

In 1947 Oberst became the first and only resident at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine now UNMC In March 1948 Childrenrsquos Memorial Hospital opened on what is now the UNMC campus at 42nd and Dewey streets

The sighs of relief heard from pediatricians after their patients survived with few problems stopped in the early 1980s when post polio syndrome gradu-ally emerged Many of the polio survivors who had gone on to normal lives suddenly found their muscles were weak

Darrel Sudduth of Plattsmouth is just starting to notice signs of post-polio syndrome more than 60 years after his recovery He was 12 years old when diagnosed with polio during the 1952 epidemic

ldquoI donrsquot think my parents had ever heard of the dis-easerdquo says Sudduth who is a member of the Nebraska Polio Survivors Association

During two weeks of isolation in Childrenrsquos Hospital his parents were not allowed to see Sudduth Until now the only residual effects had been a bad back and one leg shorter than the other

Oberst 91 is known for several ldquofirstsrdquo in pediatric medicine during his long career

bull Doctors from around the nation referred patients with Attention Deficit Disorder With or Without Hyperactivity to Oberst who was a pioneer in treating the condition then referred to as Minimal Cerebral Dysfunction ldquoBut that name scared parents to deathrdquo he remembers He treated 3000 children with ADHD

bull Oberst developed The Omaha STAAR Project to help parents doctors and teachers under-stand children with learning disabilities

bull While a resident he pioneered the use of exchange transfusion for Rh-positive babies and their Rh-negative mothers The transfu-sion was necessary to keep babies from being vulnerable to brain damage deafness or yellow jaundice

With all of his accomplishments Oberst not sur-prisingly believes that pediatrics is the most satisfying of all specialties However the three sons and three grandsons of Oberst and his wife Mary who died in 2011 chose careers outside medicine The family includes his famous grandson singer-songwriter Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes

Dr Oberst has written seven books some are medi-cal books The American Academy of Pediatrics pres-ents an award in his name each year

During his 40 years as a pediatrician he treated thousands of children But no memory is as heart-wrenching as the 1952 polio epidemic

After the Salk vaccine was introduced in 1954 there were fewer cases By 1979 there were no more cases in the United States Polio appeared to be eradicated But in some foreign countries where children are not vaccinated it is resurging

ldquoSome stupid people say their child shouldnrsquot be vaccinatedrdquo he says ldquoThey put that child at riskrdquo

W ELL GIRLS IF YOUrsquoRE 60-plus therersquos a lot you all have in common

Regardless of shape and size whether yoursquore short tall curvy or thin there are certain places you prefer to keep covered because they show your age In winter turtlenecks and scarves cover up wrinkled necks Flabby arms can hide under long-sleeved blouses sweaters and jackets Nobody cam see spider veins through your slacks jeans and boots

Summer is a time when many women wonder how to keep cool when temperatures rise while still being comfortable baring parts kept under cover all winter long Once itrsquos time to ldquoundressrdquo for the heat the challenge to do so with style can be overwhelming

So now that the heat is on here is my head-to-toe advice for looking your best while keep-ing your cool

HAIR The easiest breeziest styles are those that are either very short or long enough to pony-up

FACE Light make-uphellipwith sunscreenSKIN Moisturizing sunscreen everywhereNECK Open necklines will keep you cooler

and take the focus away from the lines in your neck Summer scarves are great when itrsquos moderately warm but when itrsquos hot let go of hang ups about your neck

Beat the HeatAnd do it with style

Mary Anne Vaccaro is a clothing and product designer and an image consultant to businesses and individuals She is also a sales consultant for Carlisle and PerSe New Yorkmaryannevaccarocom carlislecollectioncom

UPPER ARMS Wersquore all too concerned with keeping them covered unless they look fabulous I say wear sleeveless anyway You limit your wardrobe too much if you wonrsquot wear sleeveless dresses and tops If covering arms up is a must for you donrsquot exhaust your-self shopping for tops and dresses with sleeves Buy sleevleless ones and wear light weight loose-fitting natural fiber shirts and unlined jackets loosely over them Sweatershellipeven cotton ones will be hot in hot weather Theyrsquore for cool evenings and air-conditioned places Scarves and stoles can cover arms nicely but you usually have work at keeping them in place

WAIST Tight heavy belts will make you feel hotter

PANTS Lightweight cottons and natural fiber blends will be most comfortable Jeans and most dark denims over-heat in summer Ankle and capri pants are great

SHORTS Taboo unless they are knee length

SKIRTS Cool and comfy alternative to pants and shorts Many fun styles and lengths

to choose from but remember your knees are your length guide You can expose them but nothing above them

DRESSES Your best wardrobe friends all summer If you remember the 60s you should remember shifts Straight dresses to throw on and go everywhere in Theyrsquove made a comeback and theyrsquore easy cool and fun to accessorize with jewelry scarves

FEET Take care of your feet They take you everywhere Keep them clean buffed moisturized and pretty

SHOES AND SANDALS Fashionable and must be comfortable Comfort shoes have come a long way in looks recently No need to wear tennis shoes outside of the gym and donrsquot wear shoes too tall to walk gracefully in A woman should walk and carry herself gracefully at every age

Finally black is your ldquoBest Friendrdquo color in every season but summer It really does absorb heat so wear white and lighter colors to keep your cool
