most likely for spite or revenge. The in-glass wire technology eliminated this problem but created another; any major problem with the antenna necessitated replacing the windshield. Also, without a piece of telescoping wire protruding from the fender, there was no place to fly an antenna flag. Some, like me, will also remember a fad where a colorful small ball sat atop the antenna. This novelty might be a humorous figure or a sports-team logo. I recall, but will not admit to, the time when brightly colored plastic flowers adorned the antenna. The marketing for them was to help you find your car in a crowded parking lot. Fortunately, the days of breakable wires and odd ornaments are gone. Many cars now come equipped with satellite radio reception. The receiver/ antenna for this technology takes the form of a small bump on the roof of the car. In my case, this antenna’s color matches the car, so it is nearly invisible. As fast as technology moves, and with the rise in the capability of smart phones, this entire antenna issue may soon be outdated. I can easily see a time in my lifetime when I use my cell phone to transfer a radio signal to the car or to use just the cell phone’s capacity to listen to radio signals or music I download to my phone. Stay tuned to see what happens.

What goes around: The vegetable garden O
ne of my fondest childhood memories is pulling carrots out of my mom’s garden and eating them right there on the spot. I can almost smell the fresh earth and the feeling of soft, slightly damp grass beneath my bare feet. I don’t remember many of my friends havSurveyor ing gardens until about five Columnist years ago. The recession was a likely factor in the gardening revival. After all, if you can grow it for pennies in your yard, you don’t have to buy it for dollars at the store. Heidi I’m sure Kerr-Schlaefer there were other factors too, including health reasons, but it seems almost everyone I know is gardening. They may not have a huge garden and, in fact, it might just be a couple raised beds in the corner of their yard or even pots on their patio, but people are growing gardens again. Today most families garden for pleasure, health reasons, and to save a few pennies, but in the past a viable
garden was much more important. A “kitchen garden” is a field of land yielding a reliable supply of food for one family. This type of garden has been around for ages and was vital to the survival of the families who first settled in America. As the United States transformed from an agrarian society to an industrialized civilization in the 19th century, the kitchen garden was no longer an important feature of a household. However, the garden remained an element of American culture, and Victory Gardens sprang up across the country during the first and second world wars. Victory Gardens were vegetable, fruit or herb gardens planted at private residences or in public parks. People in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Germany grew Victory Gardens as a way to reduce demand on the public food supply during the wars. In the United States, about one-third of the vegetables produced were grown in Victory Gardens. These patches of vibrant, healthy land also acted as morale boosters, as the folks who worked the rows of vegetables or picked the fruit felt as though they were doing their part for the war effort on the home front. After the war, however, the ease of shopping at a fully-stocked grocery store was far more attractive than doing back-breaking work in a garden, so, over time, the Victory Gardens were

neglected and gardening became less and less popular. Today, however, the kitchen garden is experiencing a renaissance, and people aren’t only gardening, they’re adding pollinators to the mix by allowing bee keepers to keep hives in their backyards. If you were planning on planting a garden this spring, you’ve probably already started. However, if not, there’s still time to plant a small plot, even if it’s in pots on your front porch, like mine.
National Ice Cream Day
When you get the urge for a snack on a hot, humid summer night, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? That’s right ... ice cream! Therefore, it’s only fitting that ice cream be given it’s own special day. On this day, we hope you enjoy an ice cream cone, a sundae, or a milk shake. Set the diet aside and splurge a little ... have one of each! In 1984, President Ronald Rea-

gan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month. He also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month. Ice cream is nutritious. A little heavy on the sugar and calories, ice cream is otherwise good for you. Its base ingredient is milk, which is loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals. Did you know? Charles E. Minches of St. Louis, Mo., is credited with inventing the ice cream cone. On July 23, 1904 at the World’s Fair in St. Louis, he filled a pastry cone with two scoops of ice cream to make the first ice cream cone. There is some controversy over this claim. Italo Marchiony of New York City filed a patent for the ice cream cone months before the fair opened. And, he was selling lemon ice in cones as early as 1896.

Restless legs syndrome affects many seniors Special to the Surveyor Millions of people are afflicted with restless legs syndrome, an uncomfortable neurological condition that may lead them to repeatedly move their limbs to find relief. In spite of its name, restless legs syndrome, or RLS, is not limited to the lower extremities, as some of the sensations associated with the condition are felt in the arms as well. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the National Institutes of Health, says as much as 10 percent of the United States population may have RLS. Several studies show that approximately 2 to 3 percent of adults are affected by moderate to severe RLS, which occurs in both men and women, though incidence of the condition is twice as high among women. Although people of any age can be diagnosed with RLS, it is more often diagnosed in middle-aged men and women and seniors. The most common symptom of RLS is an irresistible urge to move because of uncomfortable, and sometimes painful, sensations deep within the body. The sensations often defy description but can range from pain, aching, creeping, crawling, or prickling feelings. Symptoms may occur at any time but are most evident when the body is at rest, whether sitting down for long periods of time or when going to sleep. Symptoms may increase in severity throughout the night. Those with RLS frequently experience periodic limb movements characterized by jerking and twitching, which can make it difficult to fall and

stay asleep. Sleep deprivation may carry over into daytime hours and make daily life difficult. Many with RLS also have concentration problems, impaired memory or struggle to perform daily tasks due to exhaustion. RLS symptoms may vary and change from day to day. Symptoms may subside early in the morning, but they often reappear and worsen at night. Considerable evidence points to a dysfunction in the brain’s basal ganglia circuits that rely on the neurotransmitter dopamine, which helps regulate muscle movements, as a contributor to RLS. Individuals with Parkinson’s disease often have RLS as well. RLS may be a genetic condition, as it seems to run in families. Pregnancy, chronic diseases and medications can also aggravate symptoms of RLS. RLS is diagnosed by looking at certain qualifying criteria. Physicians will document symptoms and note when they occur. Treatment may involve a mixture of medications as well as therapies for relieving symptoms. Medications for RLS may lose their efficacy over time, and doctors may have to work with patients to develop a treatment plan that works. Courtesy photo
Restless legs syndrome affects millions of people and can compromise quality of life.
The 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will take place at Target Field in Minnesota on July 15. Target Field, which is home to the American League’s Minnesota Twins, hosted its first regular season game on April 12, 2010, and the 2014 Midsummer Classic will be the stadium’s first All-Star Game. Despite Target Field’s relative youth, it will still host the All-Star Game before several other stadiums, a handful of which have been in operation for a decade or more. Tropicana Field, which has been home to the Tampa Bay Rays since 1998, is the oldest active stadium never to have hosted an All-Star Game. Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and PETCO Park in San Diego opened in 2004 and have not hosted an All-Star Game. Great American Ballpark, home to the Cincinnati Reds and open since 2003, is slated to host its first All-Star Game in 2015.

Pushing back against high-priced medicines M any Americans have begun to realize they’re paying too much for prescription drugs. And maybe — just maybe — a national conversation on the topic has begun, sparked by the introduction last year of Sovaldi, touted as the most effective way to treat patients with hepatitis Guest C. Columnist The problem is Sovaldi’s hefty price tag — $84,000 for a three-month regimen — and the fact that insurers have begun factoring the price they are paying for Trudy Lieberman the drug into Rural Health the premiums News Service all of us will pay for health insurance in the next few years. UnitedHealth Group announced it had already paid $100 million to cover Sovaldi for its policyholders in the first three months of this year. To get an idea how Sovaldi could crowd out spending for other health-
care needs, let’s look at Oregon. One of the state’s Medicaid managed-care organizations noted that if 30 percent, or 814 members out of a total of 2,466 with hepatitis C, got the drug, the cost would be about $68 million. Compare this to the $72 million the health plan spent for all its pharmaceuticals last year, and you get the point. I have written about Sovaldi before in a “Thinking About Health” column. Since then a Washington-based group called the National Coalition on Health Care; which counts insurers, employers, unions, providers, and faith-based organizations among its members, has launched the Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing. CEO John Rother says it’s an effort to discuss possible solutions for rapidly escalating drug prices. Rother, who is the former chief lobbyist for AARP, and helped pass the Medicare prescription drug law a decade ago, knows a thing or two about drugs. He told me that since the drug law passed, price increases have been held in check largely because of the greater use of generic substitutes. Not so any more with the debut of Sovaldi and with some 200 specialty drugs in the pipeline, which may
be priced as high as Sovaldi. The country, he says, is headed down an unsustainable path when it comes to paying for medicines. As a country we’ve rarely asked whether paying for these super high-priced drugs means we may have to forego other health care services. Insurers, employers, Medicare and Medicaid have rarely blinked. They’ve just paid the bills. Nor have payers always carefully scrutinized the evidence that a new expensive medicine actually did what the drug maker claimed it would do. They paid even when there was little evidence a drug was effective. This time it’s different. The California Technology Assessment Forum, a private group funded by insurers, has recommended that Sovaldi be used only for the sickest patients. In Oregon the Center for Evidence-Based Policy established by the governor a decade ago and based at the Oregon Health & Science University has said there have been no long-term trials, and many of those trials that have taken place were laced with conflicts of interest. It recommends more comparative studies and restricting use for now. The U.S. has no official oversight agency like the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the U.K., which evaluates new drugs and technologies and makes
recommendations to the National Health Service. NICE will complete its review in the fall. Meanwhile the British health service is paying the equivalent of $32 million to treat 500 of the sickest patients. There’s zero chance the U.S. will adopt a NICE-like organization any time soon. The Affordable Care Act prohibits the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, created by the ACA, from considering costs when it evaluates the effectiveness of various treatments. And Medicare is not allowed to consider cost in deciding whether to cover a drug or a device. The government’s hands are tied. Rother’s group will have to figure out a way to evaluate cost and effectiveness within the health system’s political boundaries. That won’t be easy, and the drug industry is pushing back. Drug makers want the government to make insurers absorb the extra cost rather than passing them along to patients in the form of higher copays and coinsurance for those who need the drug. That’s not really a solution, Rother says. “High-cost drugs raise premiums and threaten funding for important health services. Ultimately the individual pays the costs one way or another. The fundamental problem is the unnecessary high prices of some drugs, not which pocket the consumer uses to pay for them.”
How to banish those gray hairs Special to the Surveyor Roughly one in five Americans uses hair dye to enhance their looks or hide gray hair. But concerns about gray hair and looking older are not exclusive to the United States. The trouble with gray hair — and especially hair close to the temples — is that such hair tends to be more coarse and more resistant to absorbing hair color than other hair. It can be difficult to cover the gray hairs, and then once it is dyed, gray hair may end up showing prematurely. Gray hair results from the hair cortex, or the middle layer of the hair, losing both the yellow and red pigments that are normally present in the strands. In order to successfully cover grays, these pigments need to be replaced using dyes that have red, yellow and blue bases. Shades characterized as “neutral” are usually the best bets. Avoid ash colors, which tend to have a blue, green or violet base. The hair shaft will pick up the underlying color but
not absorb the intended color. Resistant grays may need the color solution to remain on much longer than is normal or recommended. Sometimes it can take up to 45 minutes for resistant grays to absorb dye. Certain manufacturers make dyes that are designed specifically for gray hair and allow for better penetration. Sometimes gray hair may need to be presoftened with peroxide prior to color application. The peroxide will raise the hair shaft and enable the color to penetrate better. Coloring hair at home is possible but may not produce the most desirable results, and there is a greater chance of user error with drug store coloring products. When making drastic changes to hair color, it may be best to consult with a professional stylist and discuss color preferences. The stylist can then create a custom color and apply it evenly to ensure complete coverage. He or she will also have the timing down pat so gray hair is covered completely and effectively

See you in the funny papers ... Beetle Bailey P
rolific American cartoonist Addison Morton “Mort” Walker (1923 -) created the “Beetle Bailey,” comic strip in September 1950 when the strip was picked up by King Features Syndicate and ran in just 12 newspapers. It was Walker’s Surveyor first big break. Columnist According to a biography posted on the website MortWalker.com, he was raised in El Dorado, Kan. “He published his first comic when he was 11. He sold his first cartoon at Rudy 12, and at 14 he Hemmann was selling gag cartoons regularly to Child Life, Inside Detective and Flying Aces magazines. At 15 he was comic-strip artist for a weekly metropolitan newspaper. At 18 he became chief editorial designer at Hall Bros., ushering in a light, playful style for the company’s Hallmark Cards line,” the biography stated. “In 1943, at the age of 20, Walker was drafted into the U.S. Army. Stationed in Italy as “an intelligence and investigating officer, he was also in charge of a German POW camp. He was discharged as a first lieutenant four years later, and graduated from the University of Missouri in 1948. While at M.U., he was editor of the school magazine,” according to the biography. After graduating from college, Walker moved to New York City in order to pursue a career as a cartoonist. While waiting for his talents to be realized he took a job with the Dell Publishing Company where he was the editor of three of the company’s magazines. Walker’s bio states that during his time at Dell, “his first 200 cartoons were rejected, but he persisted, and editors started to recognize his talent. In two years he was the top-selling magazine cartoonist.” As stated above, his big break came in 1950 when “Beetle Bailey” was picked up by King Features Syndicate. The pre-King Features comic strip differed little from the strip which came post-syndicate, the major difference being a name change for the title character. Before the syndicate became involved “Beetle” Bailey was known as “Spider” Bailey. Comic strip historians Bill Blackbeard and Martin Williams, editors of “The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics” wrote that, “‘Beetle Bailey’ was the first of the strip successes of Mort Walker, who had already
established himself as a gag and panel cartoonist in such publications as ‘The Saturday Evening Post’ — indeed Beetle as ‘Spider’ first appeared there.” As for the name change from “Spider” to “Beetle,” this was something on which the King Features executives insisted. They apparently thought a beetle less intimidating than a spider. For about the first year of the “Beetle Bailey” strip the title character was a shiftless, indolent, college campus jokester at fictitious Rockview University. The characters in this early strip were modeled after Walker’s fraternity brothers from college. The strip experienced a jump in circulation in 1951 when, during the Korean War, Beetle dropped out of college, found himself in an Army recruiting office, and joined the service. He was soon assigned to the fictional Camp Swampy where he continued his shiftless and indolent existence. The bio states, “The comic strip experienced two other notable jumps in circulation. In 1954, when the Tokyo edition of Stars & Stripes dropped the strip because it supposedly engendered lack of respect for officers, the U.S. press had a field day attacking the maneuver, and 100 more newspapers enlisted the strip.
Then, in 1970, when Lt. Jack Flap first marched into Sarge’s office, ‘Beetle Bailey’ became the first established strip to integrate a black character into a white cast. Stars & Stripes and some Southern newspapers quickly discharged the strip but 100 others joined up.” For characters with which to populate the strip Walker relied heavily on his memories of individuals, and situations those individuals had gotten themselves into, while serving in the military. According to the Wikipedia article, “‘Beetle Bailey’ is unusual in having one of the largest and most varied permanent casts of any comic strip. While many of the older characters are rarely seen, almost none have been completely retired.” A listing offered by Wikipedia of just some of the major characters which appear in the strip follows. Private Beetle Bailey — the main character and strip’s namesake; an irresponsible, inept, shirking, perpetual goof-off and straggler known for his chronic laziness and generally insubordinate attitude. Slack, hapless, lanky and freckled, Beetle’s eyes are always concealed, whether by headgear or, in the rare instance of not wearing any
(e.g., in the shower), by his hair. Sergeant Orville P. Snorkel – Beetle’s platoon sergeant and nemesis; introduced in 1951. Sarge is known to frequently beat up Beetle for any excuse he can think of, leaving Beetle a shapeless pulp (one of the most iconic images in the strip). Once, in a February 1971 strip, he even shoved Beetle through a knothole in the floorboard. Sarge is too lovable to be a villain, however. Obese, snaggle-toothed and volatile, Sarge can be alternately short-tempered and sentimental. He and Beetle seem to have a mutual love/hate relationship; much of the time there’s an implied truce between them. They share an uneasy alliance that sometimes borders on genuine (albeit unequal) friendship. In some early strips Sarge was married, but he was later depicted into an unmarried Army-lifer, who knows next to nothing about civilian life. He’s from Pork Corners, Kan. Despite his grouchiness and bossiness, Sarge has a soft side, which he usually keeps concealed. Private “Killer” Diller – the notorious ladies’ man, and Beetle’s frequent crony – introduced in 1951. Cookie Jowls – the mess sergeant, who smokes cigarettes while preparing the mess hall’s questionable menu
Berthoud Weekly Surveyor July 3, 2014 Page B7 (infamous for rubbery meatballs and tough-as-rawhide steaks). Walker, in his private diary, once described him as “the sum of all Army cooks I’ve met
in my life.” Except for the presence of cauliflower ears, a prominent heart tattoo, hairy shoulders and perpetual beard stubble, he bears a striking
resemblance to Sergeant Snorkel – and has also been known to occasionally beat up on Beetle. Like Sarge, he also loves food.
Brigadier General Amos T. Halftrack – the inept, frustrated, semi-alcoholic commander of Camp Swampy; introduced in 1951. Loves to golf, much to his wife Martha’s dismay. He’s 78 years old (much beyond “normal” retirement age). Miss Sheila Buxley – Halftrack’s beautiful, blonde, buxom civilian secretary — and occasional soldier’s date (as well as a constant distraction for Halftrack). She only appears in all but a handful of Wednesday strips; why on Wednesdays is unknown. (However, a possible prototype for Miss Buxley, a very similar-looking “new stenographer” for General Halftrack, appeared on Jan. 22, 1970 – a Thursday.) Miss Buxley has an apparent interest in Beetle, later becomes his girlfriend, but is constantly pursued by Killer. Walker is co-creator in a number of other comic strips including Hi and Lois, Boner’s Ark and Sam & Silo. Two sentences in Walker’s biography sum it up best: “Beetle Bailey, the world’s most famous work-shirking private, must envy the comfortable lifestyle now enjoyed by his creator, celebrated cartoonist Mort Walker. But making it to the top of the competitive newspaper comics’ field took plenty of hard work, which was never popular in Beetle’s bailiwick.” The strip is currently seen in approximately 1,800 newspapers. I’ll see you in the funny papers.
