Dear Ron,
Believe it or not, the holiday season is approaching
again. Halloween is just a few weeks away and it's time to
think about the safety of our children. Please check out the
safety tips in this issue of the newsletter. 
Preparing for the unforeseen is what insurance is all
about. No one likes to think about it, but some simple steps
taken early can prevent heartache later on.
I'm here to help you take those steps. I'll
answer any questions you have about insurance, and together we can
ensure a protected future for you and your family. As always,
you can get on my blog to offer any suggestions
or ideas.
Sincerely,
Ron Dutton

"Spooky" But Not SCARY!
Are you ready for another night of sugar saturated,
hyper children? Halloween can be a lot of fun, especially when you have small children who look so cute in their costumes.
It would be a shame to mar the event with any unpleasantness. You
want to be "spooked" at Halloween, but not scared by
accidents or injuries.
Some parents take advantage of community sponsored
events that take the place of trick-or-treat. These are usually
advertised in community bulletins and newspapers. If you are a
die-hard trick-or-treater, take a few minutes to review these tips
for a happy and safe Halloween:
Small Children - Adult Supervision is Key
- Make
sure all children are adequately supervised by an adult.
- Costumes
should be fire-retardant and have reflective material.
- Items
that hang or drag from a costume could be a hazard for
children who might trip on them.
- Props
(swords, clubs, etc.) should be made of flexible material that
will bend if fallen upon.
- Make
eye holes big enough for peripheral vision, then use grease
paint to finish the look, if necessary.
- Give
your child something unique (lights or jewelry) so you can
recognize her/him at a distance if traveling in a group.
Teens - Communication is Key
- Teens
need to communicate where they're going and with whom.
- Stick
to any curfews imposed by your city, and please, no vandalism.
- Tell
your teens to stick to lighted, populated areas, avoiding unlit
short-cuts and empty fields.
- Discuss
and set a time for them to return home. Make sure they have a
cell phone and check in at regular intervals.
- Make
sure they have a flashlight, glow stick or other light source.
- Common
sense does not go out the door on Halloween: Stay out of
strangers' cars.
- Stay
in a group.
- Even
though they're teens, remind them of street-crossing safety.
- Have
them bring the candy home to be inspected by you (giving you
first pick).
Have a fun, memorable Halloween!

Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage Plans (like an HMO or PPO) are
health coverage choices that you may have as a part of Medicare.
These plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA
Plans" are offered by private companies approved by
Medicare. These plans must include all of the
coverage provided by Original Medicare and some offer additional
benefits such as vision, hearing, dental and/or health and wellness
programs.
The Annual Election Period for these plans runs from
November 15 through December 31. During this time Medicare
beneficiaries can enroll for coverage beginning on January 1,
2011. Give us a call at (678) 464-8602 and we can provide you
with additional information to help you decide if a Medicare
Advantage plan may be right for you.

Elaine's Recipe of the Month
Pumpkin/Pecan Pie
 Ingredients:
1 9" pie crust
3 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup sugar or Splenda sugar replacement
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2/3 cup light Karo syrup
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, preheat baking sheet in
oven. Place the pie crust in a greased pie pan and pinch (flute)
the crust edges with your fingers. Set aside. In a
small bowl, combine one of the eggs, ½ cup of the sugar, the
pumpkin and the pumpkin spice; spread in the bottom of the pie
crust.
In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2 eggs slightly,
stir in the Karo syrup, remaining sugar, butter and vanilla.
Stir until well blended, stir in pecans. Carefully spoon on
top of the pumpkin mixture. If you have extra crust you can
cut out maple leaves or pumpkin shapes with a cookie cutter and
place on the edges of the pie for a decorative feature.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until filling on the edges
is set. If crust is getting too dark on edges you can cover
with aluminum foil. Cool pie completely and refrigerate
leftovers. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Enjoy!

The Legend of the Starfish
A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach
when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish
that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the
tide returned. The boy walked slowly along the shore and
occasionally reached down and tossed the beached starfish back into
the ocean.
The businessman, hoping to teach the boy a little
lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have
been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I
know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are
around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every
day. Surely such an industrious and kind hearted boy such as
yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you
really think that what you are doing is going to make a
difference?"
The boy looked up at the man, and then he looked down
at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he
gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "It makes a
difference to that one."
