This is one of my favorite classic movies. And why<br />

not? The film is full of Italian style and grace. The<br />

scenery is breathtaking. The villages are lovely. The<br />

people are charming..., And the pasta, and wine...<br />

Delicioso!<br />

“Under The<br />

Tuscan Sun”!<br />

So when my husband Ray and I decided<br />

to host a European tour, Collette’s Spotlight on Tuscany<br />

tour with Florence, Lucca, Siena, and more was a<br />

natural choice. Plus, we’ll actually be under the Tuscan<br />

Sun, and there’ll be no pesky packing and unpacking.<br />

We’ll be staying in the delightful spa resort town<br />

of Montecatini in a four star hotel just a short walk<br />

from the charming city center. In fact, one of my best<br />

friends, Iris Newman, who already had the good sense<br />

to take this trip, has told me that exploring Montecatini,<br />

meeting its locals, and enjoying spontaneous casual<br />

gatherings at the end of the day were unexpected trip<br />

highlights. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy<br />

the Tuscan lifestyle. Call us at:<br />

Resuscitation<br />

By: Heather Latimer / Helpful Hints<br />

If you gave a Do Not Resuscitate statement<br />

to your hospital, and included it in your will,<br />

you may believe that situation is covered. Yet EMS<br />

personnel responding to a 911 call to your home<br />

have no access to those documents. If your condition warrants it, they<br />

will promptly commence chest compressions and other life-sustaining<br />

procedures.<br />

To counteract that happening, caregiver Kay Mosley told me that a<br />

Do Not Resuscitate Certificate is available that’s designed to be instantly<br />

recognizable by EMS personnel. It’s easily obtainable and you can post<br />

it in a highly visible spot where you live.<br />

Here’s how:<br />

1. Enter “Do Not Resuscitate” in your browser. Scroll down to<br />

Southern Nevada Health District bearing the Nevada seal. You’ll find an<br />

application form to print. Or request a “DNR Application” by telephone<br />

– 702/759-<strong>10</strong>50.<br />

2. The simple one-page form requires: (a) your name, address,<br />

gender, birthdate, (b) either your signature or of your agent, (the<br />

person with your power of attorney if you have one), (c) Taking the<br />

completed form to your doctor for signature, (d) Mailing the form with<br />

$5 check payable to Division of Public and Behavioral Health.<br />

Most people place the certificate over their bed. However, the wording<br />

on the certificate advises that if EMS personnel do not see the certificate,<br />

or you’re unable to produce the wallet-card, they’ll immediately apply<br />

standard resuscitation procedures.<br />
