Even people who have been blind since birth smile when they’re happy. • Ireland has the distinction of being the first nation in the world that had one woman succeed another woman as head of state, when, in 1997, Mary MacAleese was elected president after Mary Robinson served in that position. ˙ 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

"Collecting" is brought to you each week by Old Hospital Mall Antiques of Wilmot, SD
Cuff Links Q: My father sold insurance during the 1950s, and I never saw him ever leave the house for work without wearing a crisp white shirt with French cuffs. Needless to say, I have several dozen sets of his cuff links from this period. Is there an expert I can contact so I can find out more about them? -- Millicent, Canton, Ohio A: Eugene Klompus is a collector and expert. He buys, sells and appraises cuff links, and he is the
author of the definitive guide about them, “Collectors Guide to Cuff Link Collecting.” Contact is P.O. Box 5970, Vernon Hills, IL 60061; genek@justcufflinks. com; and www.justcufflinks.com. Check out his website at www.justcufflinks.com. ••• Q: My son was a comic-book collector, and he was especially interested in vintage publications from the 1940s and ‘50s. He died last year, and I have inherited his incredible collection, which has hundreds of rarities. I do not want to post them on eBay and wonder if you have another idea of how I can sell them. -- Betty, Walnut Cree, Calif. A: Heritage Comics Auctions is one of the better solutions, with offices in several major American cities, including Heritage Comics, 445 Park Ave., New York, NY 10022, 212-486-3500; and Heritage Comics, 478 Jackson St., San Francisco, CA 94111, 800872-6467. Check out the informative website at www. heritagecomics.com. Although there are several price guides available, a personal favorite is The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide by Robert M. Overstreet, published by House of Collectibles. It features up-to-date prices that I think accurately reflect the marketplace.

Did You Know What a Farkleberry is? Vaccinium arboreum [ar-bor-E-um] is a shrub (rarely a small tree) growing to 3–5 m (rarely 9 m) tall. The leaves are evergreen in the south of the range, but deciduous further north where winters are colder; they are oval-elliptic with an acute apex, 3–7 cm long and 2–4 cm broad, with a smooth or very finely toothed margin. Sparkleberry grows on sand dunes, hammocks, dry hillsides, meadows, and in rocky woods. It also grows on a variety of moist sites such as wet bottomlands and along creek banks.
Taking Pets on the Road
The flowers are white, bell-shaped, and 3–4 mm in diameter with a five-lobed corolla, produced in racemes up to 5 cm long. The fruit is a round dry berry about 6 mm in diameter, green at first, black when ripe, edible but bitter and tough.
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re planning to drive across the country and want to bring along our dogs, “Trudy” and “Jake.” We’ve never done a trip like this before, though, and I hear that there are not many pet-friendly hotels or campsites. Is that true? -- Carl C., Trenton, N.J.
DEAR CARL: Actually, the number of pet-friendly accommodations in the United States is increasing, with even some high-end hotels offering pet perks such as rooms customized with sleeping areas, and food and water dishes. Many campgrounds allow dogs, as long as they are leashed and do not disturb other campers. A number of books and websites are available that list petfriendly places. Check out BringFido.com to search for places to stay during your trip. For a cross-country drive, plan your route based on those petfriendly accommodations. How long do you plan to drive each day? Will you be stopping to sightsee? Are there times when you have to be dog-free (such as going out for a nice dinner), and need to keep them in a safe place like a day kennel? You’ll also need to keep the dogs safe while in the vehicle, so look into purchasing either dog restraints (sort of a seat belt for dogs of different sizes) or sturdy carriers, or both. Remember to never let the dogs sit alone in the car, even with the windows down -- it’s incredibly dangerous. If you have time before the big drive, try taking the dogs on a long one-day drive or an overnight trip, so both you and they get used to the idea of traveling some distance. With some careful planning, you can bring your dogs along and have a very enjoyable, safe trip. Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com.

Fixing a Damaged Roof Shingle By Samantha Mazzotta
Q: While doing a quick visual scan of the roof, I noticed a couple of areas where the asphalt shingles were chipped or even lifted a little. I didn’t find any leaks in the attic. Do I need to completely replace these shingles? -- Don C., via email A: If a shingle is chipped but mostly intact, and the surrounding shingles are OK, you can get away with patching it. The repair may last only a couple of seasons, but it can protect your roof in the short term. To patch a shingle, take a spare shingle of the same material and cut it to the size of the damaged area. Remove any dangling or jutting pieces from the damaged section. Tack the new piece of shingle into place using roofing cement. Shingles that are torn or buckled, missing, or areas with several damaged shingles will benefit more from replacement than patching. Purchase replacement shingles at the home-improvement store, along with repair tools and supplies including roofing cement, tack hammer or roofing-nail gun, pry bar and spare roofing nails. Check out the YouTube video titled “Replacing a Damaged Roof Shingle” for a quick-and-dirty primer on replacing shingles. As you can see, the shingles above the damaged area need to be lifted slightly (be careful not to break them) so the roofing nails holding the damaged shingle in place can be removed. Once the nails are removed, loosen and slide the damaged shingle downward and out. Slide the replacement shingle into the same spot. If holding the shingle in place is difficult, put a couple dots of roofing cement on the underside just to hold it in place while you secure it. Work your way back up, putting new roofing nails near the same spots that you removed the old ones from. Re-secure the loosened shingles above with new nails. As always, remember that safety comes first when working up on the roof. Always have a partner helping to steady the ladder, and use a safety line. Move along the roof in a crouch, rather than standing up, which could cause you to lose your balance. If you don’t feel confident in working at that height, contact a professional roofer to handle the repair. The National Roofing Contractors Association can provide advice and guidance in finding a contractor. HOME TIP Check the weather forecast before starting roofing repairs: The materials need several days of dry, warm weather to cure completely.
