Bored? Want to have some fun? Here are some tricks and experiments you can use to amaze your friends – or even just to amuse yourself. McKinley • Want to “launder” your money? Pour about pages 5-6 two teaspoons of lemon juice into a small Medical Mysteries glass. Then drop a tarnished penny into the pages 7-8 glass and let it soak for five minutes. When you remove the penny, it will be shiny. The 30, 45, & 60 Minute Lessons acidity of the lemon juice removes the dull Adults & Children 6 & Older copper oxide coating on the coin. • Ever wanted to try “curds and whey” like Mention this Ad for Special Savings Little Miss Muffet? You can. Pour one cup of milk into a jar and add 1/3 cup of vinegar. The Music Teachers National Association The thick gunk at the bottom of the jar? reports that the fastest growing group of new They’re curds; the liquid floating on top is the whey. And, yes, they’re rather icky. piano students are adults 25-75+. Adults • You can wash your hands like Dracula with a shouldn’t be the only ones to take up the few simple ingredients. You’ll need one talessons; students should, too. Research of piano blespoon of rubbing alcohol, two laxative students showed improvements in hand-eye coordinapills, and a bar of soap. Carefully pour the altion, test scores & in understanding of math & science cohol into a small dish, then mash the pills and add them to the alcohol. Rub the mixture on your hands and let it dry.

FAVE FOODS OF THE FAMOUS By Steven J. Austin

Dr. Ian Smith On the popular VH1 TV hit "Celebrity Fit Club," Dr. Ian Smith helps stars shed pounds when almost everything else has failed them. His two books, "Fat Smash Diet" and "Extreme Fat Smash Diet" are New York Times best-sellers, and his radio shows can be heard on BET and the American Urban Network. You also can see him on "The View" and other popular network TV shows providing excellent advice in an entertaining and upbeat way. Dr. Smith is the spokesman for The 50 Million Pound Challenge, sponsored by State Farm. It's a historic campaign by the AfricanAmerican community encouraging people to take back their health by saving lives, getting fit and losing weight. Anyone can participate. For more info go to: www.50millionpounds.com. Additional details about Dr. Smith and his projects can be found at: www.doctoriansmith.com and www.celebrityfitclub.com. *Are there people who simply cannot lose weight? "Yes. Certain medical conditions, an extremely slow metabolism and taking certain medications can make it difficult to lose weight. The majority of the population, however, can definitely shed pounds." *Of the celebrities you've helped, who was the most fun to work with? And who was the most challenging? "Well, everyone knows Ted Lange from his role as Isaac the Bartender on the classic TV series 'The Love Boat.' He was so enthusiastic and a joy to be around. I keep in touch with him regularly, and he has kept the weight off. He lost 30 pounds on the Fat Smash Diet and says it has changed his life. Jeff Conway, who starred in 'Grease' and TV series 'Taxi' had so many personal issues that it was almost impossible to do anything with him." *More and more children are having health issues at an earlier age due to obesity. Is a youngster ever too young to be placed on a diet? "Children should not be put on diets, as we normally think of them. They should be placed on food and exercise plans that meet nutritional and other needs. It is dangerous to take an adult diet, like the popular ones you hear and read about, and put children on it because they typically have so many restrictions." *What are your guilty snacks? "I love barbeque ribs and making brownies. Salmon is my favorite treat, and I'm giving you the recipe for my best dish!" *Any foods that are so unhealthy they really shouldn't even exist? "Fettuccini Alfredo is a heart attack on a plate. The Baconater from Wendy's is horrible. And pork rinds don't have any nutritional value at all." GLAZED HONEY SALMON For the Marinade: 4 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons whiskey (optional) 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoons sesame oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root, grated Freshly ground black pepper to taste Other Ingredients: 4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets, with skin Olive oil or butter spray for grill Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the salmon fillets for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turning the fish in the marinade once or twice. Spray a grill with olive oil or butter spray and preheat it. Cook the salmon skin-side down first. After 4-6 minutes, remove the fish from the skin, turn and baste with the marinade. Cook the second side for 4-6 minutes, until it is opaque throughout, but don't overcook it. Serves 4. (c) 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.

What to do and where to go in

Lincoln County

TRY THIS AT HOME (continued):

Did you know that your nose is almost as important as your tongue when it comes to the sense of taste? Try this: grate part of a peeled potato, and then grate a bit of a peeled apple. Keep your nose pinched shut, and have someone feed you a spoonful of each, one at a time. You likely won’t be able to tell which is which. By itself, the tongue can only detect salty, sweet, bitter and sour tastes. Can you split a string in two parts without touching it? You can if it’s a bright, sunny day. Take a four-inch length of string and tape the center of it to the inside of a jar lid. Then screw the lid onto the empty jar so that the ends of the string are suspended inside. Now go outside and focus the rays of the Sun onto the string with a magnifying glass. Within a few minutes, the intensified heat will burn through the string. You can also use a string to pick up an ice cube, with out touching the ice. Place the ice cube on a flat surface, and then sprinkle some table salt on top of it. Take a length of string and lay it across the top of the ice cube. Wait three to five minutes. The salt will lower the freezing point of the ice and slightly melt the surface, which will saturate the string. After a few minutes, the ice will re-freeze with the string embedded in it, and you’ll be able to lift it by picking up the string. If you need to drip some non-toxic liquid but can’t find a medicine dropper, a drinking straw will work. Carefully suck up the liquid into the straw, then quickly remove it from your mouth and cover the open top of the straw with your finger. The liquid will remain vacuumed up inside the straw until you lift your finger. With a little bit of practice, you can learn how far (and how quickly) to lift your finger in order to dispense the liquid a single drop at a time. • Lemon juice can be used as invisible ink. Just pour some lemon juice into a small saucer. Add a few drops of water and mix well. Now dip a cotton swab into the mixture and use it as a “pen” to write a message on a plain white piece of paper. Let the page dry. Your writing will be invisible until you heat it (try holding it close to a light bulb). Citrus fruit juices contain carbon compounds which break down when exposed to heat. • You can build a tiny “motorboat” that won’t require batteries. Take a piece of aluminum foil and fashion a boat shape out of it. Slice a small piece off of a bar of soap, cut a small notch in it, and affix it to the back of your boat. Make sure the piece of soap touches the water once you’ve mounted it as an “outboard engine.” Now place your craft in a sink or tub full of water and watch it cruise! The soap disrupts the surface tension of the water, propelling the boat forward. • Got a yen to get back to your pioneer roots? Try making your own bricks! First, place some ground clay (not modeling clay) into a bucket. Add some straw and enough water to turn the stuff into a doughy mixture. Then, place portions of the mixture into molds of some sort – cardboard juice boxes work well– and let them sit overnight in a warm place. Then, gently tear away the molds and let the bricks dry in the sun for several days. Voila! • Eggshells are surprisingly strong, and here’s how to prove it. Take the half-shells of two cracked eggs. Wrap some masking tape around the middle of each and then use scissors to trim the excess shell below the tape line so that the edges are even. (You’ll end up with four little bowl-shaped shell halves.) Then lay

PAW'S CORNER When Wildlife Gets Too Close By Sam Mazzotta DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My neighbor "Gladys" will put out food for any wild creature that happens by her back porch. I'm not talking about a few songbirds: She

is putting out food for raccoons and squirrels, has a big block of salt in the back corner of her yard for deer, and who knows what else. I think this is dangerous because it makes these animals come into her neighbors' yards looking for food, and they might hurt our pets or our kids! Should I report her to someone, like animal control? -- Anonymous but Annoyed DEAR ANONYMOUS: Here's a question: Have you talked to Gladys about your concerns? I know the political maelstrom that is modern suburbia tends to preclude this seemingly obvious step, but it is important to find out if Gladys even realizes that her actions could have negative consequences. And by talking to her, I don't mean standing in her line of sight while she's outside and yelling "Nyah nyah, I'm telling on you!" Save that for those tension-filled summer evenings after she blames you for the homeowners' association letter asking her to stop -- but wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. First you have to ask her nicely. It's the neighborly thing to do. Then you bring it up at the next HOA meeting. If the community agrees with you, a letter can be issued to Gladys by the homeowners' association. Contacting animal control -- if there is no immediate danger -- should be done only if Gladys does not respond to yours or the HOA's requests. The department may issue a civil infraction (punishable by a fine) if they receive enough complaints. Animal control should always be called if there is an imminent threat by an animal, or if a pet or wild animal is in immediate need of assistance. Send your tips, questions and comments to Paws Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or e-mail them to pawscorner@hotmail.com.
