Welcoming New Patients
Did You Ever? ometimes we like a style of shoe so well that we buy that style in more than one color. That was the case with a friend. One night she was ready for bed when she was called at home and asked to come down to the newspaper to correct an error found in an ad she had turned in. It was to go to press for the next day. She took the rollers out of her hair, slipped out of her pajamas, and quickly found something to wear. She drove to the paper, corrected the ad, and was sitting on the edge of a table with her legs crossed talking to the pressman. She saw a strange smile on his face and when she looked down she had on one beige shoe and one yellow shoe. Something that has happened more than once… going into a drug store or a cosmetic counter, made a purchase, paid for it and said “Thank you.” The problem was walking away without the item. Has this ever happened to you? The most recent event that I heard of from a friend was that on a cold day, she decided it would be a good idea to purchase some donuts to take to her meeting. She drove in to the line at the donut shop. At last it was her turn at the window. The man at the window smiled and she said, “A dozen glazed donuts, please.” She waited… nothing happened. He just stood there. After a long wait, he made a motion that he hadn’t heard her. He indicated that she needed to “roll her window down.” The worst of times can create a memory that will bring on a smile. Twice she got stranded in an elevator… once in downtown Daytona and once in the church building. The first incident was when she was making a call on a local travel bureau. It was upstairs, with access via an elevator that was in an alcove

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden
along the sidewalk. She entered the elevator, pushed a button and the elevator didn’t start. She tried opening the door. No luck. She heard people passing by and called out “Help!” Sure that she heard them say okay, she sat down on the floor. The elevator was so small she was in a squatting position but satisfied to wait when she began to hear a jackhammer working somewhere. So much time passed… the jackhammer stopped, she heard unconcerned voices coming from upstairs and suddenly wondered if all was well. Feeling panicky, she called out again, “Help!” This time the elevator was moving up, to receive the business people leaving for home. The button must have only worked from upstairs. Many years later, the new elevator at the church stopped halfway up when lightning struck. She wasn’t terribly alarmed because she had her cell phone. She called the church office and they were very concerned, enough so that they tried desperately to console her while they called 911. This time she was managing quite well. When the elevator door was opened by the firemen, she felt ten feet tall for the elevator had gone up a few feet, leaving her with a small amount of visibility outside of the elevator. Obviously she prefers to continue using the stairs whenever possible but the trips were worth it… for a smile later on.

Tinkerer With Stuff hen we were growing up, my brother Eddie was a collector of sorts. He collected just about anything he could get his hands on or, in some cases, catch. Eddie’s largest collection included parts of most of the toys that belonged to me. That is why I do not have any of those western guns and toy tractors that I got as a child. Eddie had an unnatural knack of trying to figure out what made something work or he just plain wanted to know what was on the inside of stuff. Nothing was sacred. I guarded the first transistor radio like it was gold bullion just in case Eddie might get an itch to see what made it work. He loved to tinker with stuff and occasionally he did manage to get in trouble with some of his antics. I remember once our mother caught him with her prized mixer. It had its own little roll-about table and was always stationed right next to the refrigerator with a nice plastic cover over it. Actually, I have that mixer among some of the things I kept of hers. Thankfully, she walked into the kitchen and missed the table. Since she knew Eddie’s curiosity for how things worked, she immediately suspected him and figured he had taken it outside. She did find him on the back porch just as he was welding a screw driver to take the metal cover off the mixer. My mother really loved that mixer and seeing Eddie in the process of taking it apart was not a good thing. Our parents were firm believers in corporal punishment and that day was not a good day for Eddie. I finally felt vindicated for some of my toys that Eddie had destroyed as I watched him get what I thought was a well-deserved spanking. In my excitement, however, I asked her to give him a couple of licks for my benefit. That did not go over as well as I thought it would and in my vigor to see Eddie pay I almost got a spanking myself. I made a hasty retreat and was able to stay clear of our mother long enough for her to cool off. It was not just inanimate objects that Eddie collected; he also collected live things. However, he did not take them apart, just caught and caged them. His favorite animal to collect was box turtles. He had a lot of help with our two dogs, Prissy, and her son, Beve, who loved to go on hunts with Eddie. Beve loved anything that was remotely round and we were never without a ball to play with, and if someone was

missing one they knew to look in our yard. He also liked to bring box turtles home, so between Beve and Eddie there was always a corral full of turtles at our house. Now remember this was before box turtles were on the endangered list and Eddie never hurt an animal in his life, just kept them and feed them for awhile. After he would get a couple of dozen in the corral in the back yard, our dad would make him take them all back to the woods where “they belonged.” Looking back I’m just glad Eddie never collected spiders or snakes.

Phobias And Phears by Peggy Goldtrap ritish psychoanalyst, Michael Whitenburgh is searching for the origin of phobias. Whitenburgh is head of a team based at private stress clinics in London and Liverpool, linked with other clinics in Britain, Switzerland, Scandinavia, and the U.S. So far they have identified 200 phobias and they're not finished yet. I have a fear of responding to surveys. I'm afraid if I put my fears in writing that the fears will come true. Then what will I do. I will have fulfilled my fear by ignoring my fear of examining fear. Remember being a child, hearing a scary noise, hiding under the covers, scared to look for fear of what you will see? Only to find out that the terrible, two-headed fire eyed monster was the family cat? Fear feeds fear by starving the spirit. Fear can kill and paralyze us, keeping us locked in houses, shackled in careers, spinning in indecision, lost in a maze of double binds. Fear causes us to stumble over mistakes. It saddles sleep with worry and restlessly rides on nightmares. Fear puts its cold, clammy hands around our throat choking our creativity, chiding us for our cowardice. Fear knows our every weakness and reminds us of that fact daily. We don't seek professional assistance because we're afraid it's all in our mind. Fear's allies, Shame and Silence, seductively whisper, keep us secret. Whitenburgh has found that 80 percent of the population suffer from one form of phobia or another, though men tend to keep quiet about it.” Fear is often reasonable. If we're crossing a street and a truck is rushing toward us, Fear can save our life. Fear can be a wise companion, that's where it gets tricky. Fear wears many faces, and some faces are false. Fear is a magician, an illusionist, an ogre, a monster of misunderstanding. Fear is our most faithful companion, it never leaves you alone. We can't offend it, or hurt its feelings, or break its heart, but Fear can do a number on ours. According to Whitenburgh, “Phobias are often the first layer of illnesses, especially heart disease.” Laughter is Fear's most formidable foe. Laughter cuts Fear down to size. The scary things that go bump in the night are likely our bones. The rhythmic sounds
B
Happy Talk … by George & Peggy Goldtrap
like the beat, beat, beat of the tom tom are probably produced by our heart. Think of what we could accomplish if we invested as much energy developing dreams as we waste fighting fears. Fear, just like Misery, loves company. There's Fear of people called prejudice, Fear of the future called projection, Fear of death called denial, Fear of abandonment, called jealousy, Fear of fun called
pessimism. A friend told me to “Cheer up, things could be worse.” So I cheered up and sure enough things got worse. Fear takes itself so seriously, but it shrinks when we laugh in its face. Fear doesn't like us to joke, kid, giggle, or talk about it. Poke fun at Fear and it goes into a frenzy. Talk about Fear and it usually goes away for small stressless spans. Since Fear's future is always dismal, dark, and dangerous and its predictions rarely true, don't introduce Fear to the baby, New Year. Resolve in the new year to laugh at Fear, share your Fear with others. Put Fear in a proper perspective. Value its wisdom but don't buy its negative expectations. Say thank you very much, Fear, for your information, let's see what happens today. Fear can be a healthy emotion if taken in very small doses. By the way, Whitenburgh was organizing a national Phobia Awareness Week. It scares me just to think about it.

IRS Scams he annual tax filing season is upon us once again. That means an increasing number of phone scams across country, including right here in Volusia County. A word of caution: These scammers can be pushy, nasty, and downright threatening. If you lose money to these hucksters, it’s almost impossible to get it back. Fraudulently posing as IRS agents, these scam arts will do everything from threatening arrest or deportation to license revocation in their efforts to trick and bully you into believing that you owe back taxes to the government. Then they tell you that you must pay up now or else. Unfortunately, my office has heard from several people recently who’ve become victims of these kinds of tactics. One victim in a recent case paid the caller roughly $6,800 before realizing she was getting scammed. When she told the scam artist she was calling law enforcement, he told her to go ahead— he was calling authorities, too, to file fraud charges against her. Of course, it wasn’t true. In another recent case, the victim bought more than $7,600 in prepaid cards, but realized the caller was a scammer when he became belligerent about the amount owed. A deputy responded to her house, and the scammer kept calling—even yelling when the deputy got on the phone and identified herself as law enforcement.
T
From The Sheriff …Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson Scammers like this will use every trick in the book, including fake names, phone numbers, and bogus IRS badge numbers and messages of urgency. They might demand money or try to find some other ruse to trick you into giving up your private financial information. Worst of all, they tend to prey on potentially vulnerable adults, such as seniors, newly-arrived immigrants, and those with English language barriers. If you get a call like this, there are some tell-tale signs to alert you that it’s probably a scam. For instance, if they demand immediate payment, demand a specific payment method such as a pre-paid card or ask for your credit card or bank card number over the phone, it’s probably a scam. Don’t let yourself become a victim! If you receive a call like this, hang up the phone immediately and contact your nearest law enforcement agency or the IRS to report the scam. Not only will you be protecting yourself and your finances, but the information you provide could help prevent others from being victimized. Hopefully, these tips will prevent you from becoming their next victim.

Special to Seniors Today he main objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives. The campaign targets primarily the general public and also seeks to raise awareness amongst policy makers, public authorities, industry representatives, researchers, health professionals, and anyone who has a genuine interest in rare diseases. Since Rare Disease Day was first launched by EURORDIS and its Council of National Alliances in 2008, thousands of events have taken place throughout the world reaching hundreds of thousands of people and resulting in a great deal of media coverage. The political momentum resulting from Rare Disease Day also serves advocacy purposes. It has notably contributed to the advancement of national plans and policies for rare diseases in a number of countries. Even though the campaign started as a European event, it has progressively become a world phenomenon, with the USA joining in 2009, and participation in a record-breaking 84 countries around the world in 2014. We hope many more will join in 2015. Some countries have decided to raise rare disease awareness further, for example, Spain declared 2013 as the National Year for Rare Diseases. Our objective is for the World Health Organization to recognise the last day of February as the official Rare Disease Day and to raise increasing awareness for Rare Diseases worldwide. 2015 marks eight consecutive, successful years of Rare Disease Day. Continuing the momentum, Rare Disease Day 2015 puts the focus on the daily

lives of patients, families, and caregivers who are Living with a Rare Disease. Over 6,000 different rare diseases have been identified to date, directly affecting the daily life of more than 30 million people in Europe alone. The complex nature of rare diseases, coupled with limited access to treatment and services, means that family members are often the primary source of solidarity, support, and care for their loved ones. The Rare Disease Day 2015 theme Living with a Rare Disease pays tribute to the millions and millions of parents, siblings, grandparents, spouses, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose daily lives are impacted and who are living day-by-day, hand-in-hand with rare disease patients. Typically chronic and debilitating, rare diseases have enormous repercussions for the whole family. Living with a rare disease becomes a daily learning experience for patients and families. Though they have different names and different symptoms, rare diseases impact the daily lives of patients and families in similar ways.

For The Week Of March 2 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your natural leadership qualities make you the person others will follow in tackling that important project. Be sure not to neglect your personal life. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor sorting through your possessions, both at work and at home, to start giving away what you don't use, don't need or don't like. Relax with someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The issues are not quite clear. Avoid getting involved in disputes between colleagues at work or between relatives or your close friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You'll get lots of support from others if you own up to your mistake quickly and include a full and honest explanation. Learn from this experience. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some early confusion over a major move, whether it's at work or at home. Get a full breakdown of what it entails, it should be easier to deal with. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Creating order out of chaos, even in the most untidy spaces, should be no problem for organized Virgos. So go ahead and do it, and then accept praise.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Whether it's for business purposes or just for leisure, a trip might be just what you need right now. You would benefit from a change of scenery. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) While things generally go well this week, a romantic situation seems to have stalled. You can restart it if you want to or reassess the situation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A meeting that was promised quite a while back could finally happen. So be sure you're prepared with everything you'll need to make your case. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A workplace blunder could create a problem unless you deal with it right now to see how and why it happened. Don't be surprised at what you might learn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good time to resort your priorities. Be honest with yourself as you decide what to keep, what to discard and what to change. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Letting yourself be bathed in the outpouring of love and support from those who care for you will help you get through a difficult period. Good luck.

On Feb. 20, 1974, Reg Murphy, an editor of The Atlanta Constitution, is kidnapped. Kidnapper William Williams drove Murphy around the city, stopping to phone in ransom demands to the newspaper. Managing editor G. James Minter delivered the money to Williams, and Murphy was released. After being caught, Williams was sentenced to 40 years for kidnapping and extortion. On Feb. 21, 1926, glamorous Swedish actress Greta Garbo makes her U.S. screen debut in The Torrent. Unlike many of her contemporaries, the Nordic beauty successfully made the transition to sound after becoming a star during the silent film era. On Feb. 22, 1819, Spanish minister Do Luis de Onis and U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams sign the Florida Purchase Treaty, in which Spain agrees to cede the remainder of its old province of Florida to the United States. The Treaty put Florida into U.S. hands at no cost beyond the U.S. assumption of $5 million in claims by U.S. citizens against Spain. On Feb. 24, 1938, Variety reports that the film studio Metro-GoldwynMayer has bought the rights to adapt L. Frank Baum's children's novel The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz for the screen, and that MGM has decided to cast 16year-old Judy Garland in the film's central role, Dorothy. On Feb. 25, 1828, John Adams, son of President John Quincy Adams, marries his first cousin and inadvertently follows a pattern of keeping marriages within the family. John Adams' grandfather, President John Adams, had married his third cousin. John's daughter also married a family member—her second cousin. On Feb. 26, 1968, allied troops who recaptured the city of Hue from the North Vietnamese during the Tet Offensive find the first mass graves in the former imperial capital. It was discovered that communist troops who had held the city for 25 days had massacred between 2,800 and 5,700 civilians. On Feb. 27, 1942, the U.S. Navy's first aircraft carrier, the Langley, is sunk by Japanese warplanes, and all of its 32 aircraft are lost. The Langley
had parted company from its convoy when nine Japanese twin-engine bombers attacked. Of the 300 crewmen, only 16 were lost. On Feb. 28, 1953, Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Frances H.C. Crick announce that they have determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes. Watson later claimed that Crick announced the discovery by walking into the nearby Eagle Pub and blurting out, “We have discovered the secret of life.” On March 1, 1971, musician James Taylor makes the cover of Time magazine. The article contrasted Taylor's gentle rock sound to the walloping folk rock of Bob Dylan, the thunderous eloquence of the Beatles and the leer of the Rolling Stones.

Hello World... Travel Agency Celebrates 45 Years In Business
I
n 1970, female entrepreneur Mildred Roseborough opened a travel company with vision of sending residents of DeLand, Florida on the trips of their dreams. Nearly 45 years later Roseborough Travel Agency has not only brought world wide travel directly to the residents of DeLand, or even Volusia County, they have booked over one million travel arrangements for clients globally. “We pride ourselves on being rooted as a community-based travel company with branches that reach worldwide,” says Amanda Vallone, co-owner of Roseborough Travel Agency. With clients not only in Florida but California, Nevada, New York, Texas, even Canada, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Roseborough Travel Agency is a big company in a small town and they love both where they are and where they have come from. Since opening, Roseborough Travel has broadened their client base but maintained the same impeccable customer service. They offer everything from cruises to tours, honeymoons to retirement parties, and anything in between. Their list of services includes travel planning for ocean cruises, river cruises, all-inclusive resorts, corporate travel, escorted group trips, car rentals, hotels, and more. “We offer anything related to travel. Our list of services is endless and we can tailor any trip to our clients needs,” says Tiffany Clay, co-owner and luxury travel specialist. Roseborough Travel Agency is known for great travel planning on any budget. They offer their services at no additional cost and often get their clients an even better deal than can be found online. “I say leave it to the professionals. You wouldn't, and many shouldn't, mess with house repairs or car repairs if you aren't trained to do it—would you? Similarly, if you want your travel plans to be seamless, use a professional—our services are free when planning a vacation package,” says Vallone.
One of the most popular services offered through Roseborough Travel Agency are their escorted group trips known as Roseborough Exclusives that include transportation to and from the cruise port, airport, or destination and have a travel coordinator with the group at all times. These group trips often include a document party to meet your fellow travelers, a special surprise, a fabulous farewell dinner, and exclusive experiences or side tours specially designed for our group. Often Amanda Vallone, DeAnn Haynes, or Cathy Blanchette will lead groups on the trips of their clients' dreams. Cathy Blanchette recently returned from a sold out group trip to Ireland and is taking a group to Alaska including Denali National Park in 2015, and Israel & The Holy Land in 2016. Amanda Vallone is bringing a group to China in March and then on to Savannah & Georgias Golden Isles, a European River Cruise from Prague to Paris, an eco-adventure to Costa Rica, a Fall bus trip to Helen Georgia & Stone Mountain, and the 17th Annual Thanksgiving Cruise to the Panama Canal. DeAnn Haynes
is the master behind Roseborough's group bus trips. She plans and escorts trips like Savannah... Your Way, A Fall Bus trip to Helen & Stone Mountain, and a Christmas Bus trip.
Europe’s Rivers & Castles July 25-August 8, 2015
“Our group trips are amazing,” states Vallone. “DeAnn, Cathy, or myself become fellow travelers with the clients and we share experiences, great memories, and become like extended family. We love bringing groups of clients to planned destinations. It is such an enjoyable way to travel. Often when we publish a new trip our clients start calling their friends to see who will come along with them.”
Prague • Nuremberg Bamberg • Kitzingen Würzburg • Wertheim Mainz • Cochem • Trier Luxembourg • Paris
On the group departures Roseborough leaders travel with the clients to make sure their trip is seamless. They take care of boarding passes, make sure everyone has the correct accommodations, and are seasoned in dealing with various special needs from food allergies to breathing machines, wheelchairs to walkers and anything else that comes up. While celebrating 45 years in business, with Roseborough Travel has a full year of “Then & Now” themed events. The three women who own Roseborough Travel Agency are Cathy Blanchette, Tiffany Clay, and Amanda Vallone. This travel trifecta has beaten all odds and has successfully continued serving clients through economic shifts, the internet, travel disasters, hurricanes, tsunamis, 9/11, cruise disasters, and many other unforeseen events that have closed other agencies. “Change happens in every industry. Our goal is to predict the events that we can and continue offering the best possible customer service possible. Cathy has stayed at the office until 2 A.M. making sure her clients were able to get a new connection flight after hurricanes re-routed her clients' flights home. We do anything we possibly can to make sure their trip is perfect,” states Vallone. Next time you want to get away, let Roseborough Travel help you with all your travel dreams!

Tails From The Front ets are a great addition to almost any home. They offer love and companionship, make us laugh, and make our homes happier places. Did you know that pets can provide tangible health benefits as well? Studies have shown pet owners to be both physically and emotionally healthier than those without pets. One obvious benefit of owning a pet is the increased exercise that you will receive. Pet owners are far more likely than non-owners to meet their daily
exercise recommendations. Exercise does not have to consist of grueling runs or long gym sessions. Just taking a dog for regular walks or chasing kitty around during games can make a big difference. Owning a pet can help people suffering from anxiety or depression. Having a pet around the house gives us a routine to keep us more focused. Pets offer unconditional love and companionship and ease feelings of loneliness, especially for people that may live alone.
Pets help improve social interaction. Taking your dog to a dog park, for example, is a great way to get out and enjoy a beautiful day, get exercise, and meet other dog owners. Pets are a natural icebreaker when starting conversations with other pet owners. Pets can be great for children as well. Children learn responsibility when taking care of pets, and can learn different tasks at different ages. Younger children may do better with a bunny or hamster, and older children can take more responsibility with a dog or cat, for example.
Pets help comfort children and lower their stress levels. Mutt Strutt Is Coming Soon The HHS 5th Annual Mutt Strutt will be on Saturday, March 28 on the beach. Visit HHSMuttStrutt.org to register and create your fundraising team to the event. Day of event registration opens at 8 A.M. at the Daytona Bandshell, and walk is at 9 A.M.

Antiques Egg Cups by Larry Cox
Q: I have a set of egg cups that are marked Union Pacific. A railroad buff has told me the pattern is Desert Flower. —Steve, Riverside, California A: Egg cups have become one of the most popular collectibles in recent years. Still being produced, they attract collectors on several levels. Prices can range from inexpensive to many thousands of dollars. Your Union Pacific set is probably worth about $90. Be aware that railroad china is being reproduced, so when buying, do your homework and be cautious. *** Q: I have a set of five Stone Craft mixing bowls that originally belonged to my mom. Are they worth keeping? —Susan, Wheatridge, Colorado A: Your mixing bowls, also called pink and blue because of their color, were made by McCoy and are very collectible. In fact, in recent years I have seen mixing bowls double and triple in price at most of the antique malls and shops I have visited. Your McCoy set was made during the 1970s and is
valued at about $250, according to Mark Moran, author of Warman's McCoy Pottery (Krause, $24.99) *** Q: My dad was a career military man and was stationed in Germany in the 1950s. During this period, he began collecting Hummel figurines when he could find them. I have his collection, and even though I have no plans to sell them, I wonder if you can recommend a good price guide so I can have a better idea of current values. —Alice, Casper, Wyoming A: There are several excellent references available, but my favorite remains M.I. Hummel: Figurines, Plates, Miniatures & More by Robert L. Miller and published by Portfolio Press. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

Books Darkest Part Of The Forest Reviewed by Ealish Waddell or generations, the horned boy has lain in his glass coffin deep in the woods outside Fairfold. The townspeople party around him and tourists come to gawk and take selfies, but nothing ever rouses him from his enchanted sleep. Hazel and her brother Ben have each grown up at least half in love with the horned boy and the magic and mystery he represents, even though they know quite well just how dangerous such things can be—for Fairfold is a town living an uneasy truce with the magical beings that dwell all around it, and not all the Fair Folk are benign. Hazel and Ben always wanted to be heroes. With her sword and his music, they've already vanquished several bad fae between them. Time and tragedy have worn away at their ambition, if not their bond. Then, one autumn day, the horned boy wakes up. Unlike the gentle prince of their romantic daydreams, this boy is a dangerous stranger, on the run from the malevolent Alderking. A terrifying monster is
F
stalking him and the town, and desperate for a scapegoat, Fairfold is turning on its own. The truce is breaking down. In order to save their friends and family, Hazel and Ben must become those longago heroes again and confront the secrets they've been keeping from each other—and, especially, the ones they're keeping from themselves. Holly Black has a knack for depicting the kind of world that the reader yearns to be a part of, and yet is also rather grateful not to be. Her fairies are the deliciously creepy kind: inscrutable, amoral, alluring, dangerous. Pairing this ancient tradition with modern human relationships that are complex yet relatable, Forest is a satisfying work of standalone urban fantasy: rich, bold, and thoroughly compelling.

Here’s An Idea No More Squeaky Sliders by JoAnn Derson
You can both marinate and tenderize beef with oil and vinegar dressing. Add spices and apply to meat on both sides, or put all ingredients in a zipper-close bag and turn often. Allow to combine at room temperature for 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for several hours, before grilling or broiling. Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

“After you've cleaned out the gliders of your sliding-glass door, run over the parts with a little paraffin wax. It will protect the moving parts and quiet the door keeping it from squeaking.” —P.J. in Oregon Fresh spices all year long? Yes, please! Find your sunniest window, and plant a little herb garden indoors. You will have a nonstop supply of fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, etc., and the green things growing will brighten up the gloominess of winter. “Spray paint makes it easy and cheap to change the look of your picture frames. In fact, I collect frames from
yard sales and thrift shops for this purpose. They are very easy to paint, and look fresh and new when you're done.” —A.A. in Florida If your dog likes a treat of moistened dry food from time to time, use the water from cooking vegetables. It has a bit of flavor and some vitamins, too! “If your bicycle tire is flat and you have to replace the inner tube, don't throw it away. Save it for when you rake up leaves. Put a lawn and leaf bag in a sturdy garbage can, then use the inner tube as a giant rubber band bag holder. If it won't go over the top of the garbage can, try rolling it up from the bottom until it is high enough to secure the bag.” —R.L. in Georgia

Pet Care No Jumping Allowed! by Sam Mazzotta
Dear Paw’s Corner: My grandchildren recently got a 6-month-old puppy, a spaniel/Doberman mix. He's rambunctious, to say the least. Are there any easy lessons to teach Farley not to jump up on people when they visit? —Lanny S., via e-mail Dear Lanny: Jumping up is a common issue in dogs. There definitely are ways to train Farley to not jump when visitors arrive, but for any training to work, everyone in the household needs to be on the same page so that his training is reinforced. Your best weapon in the no-jumping battle are the basic sit and stay commands. Train Farley to sit on command, and then train him to stay in the sitting position for gradually longer periods. (Get him to sit for 10 seconds at first, then extend that incrementally.) Once he understands and obeys those commands, begin training him to respond to the doorbell the way you want him to. Set up a daily session where one person (the trainer) stands with Farley on a leash, several feet back from the door,
and another person (the helper) goes outside. When the helper rings the doorbell, tell Farley sit, then stay. Next, have the helper come inside; again, tell Farley to sit, then stay. Finally, bring Farley to the helper, still on the leash. Tell him to sit, then stay; the helper should not try to pet or speak to Farley during this training session. This will take a few sessions... maybe more than a few. Repeat it daily, and have the kids do it daily, too. Whenever a real visitor comes over, repeat the commands. Remember not to scold Farley during training; stick to firm commands followed by lots of praise or a treat when he follows them. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com
