TIDBITS® VISITS ANTARCTICA
by Janet Spencer On November 18, 1820, an American seal hunter named Nathaniel Brown Palmer became the first American to lay eyes upon mainland Antarctica. He is considered to be one of three primary candidates to have discovered the frozen continent. Palmer proclaimed the frozen terrain before him to be Palmer Land, and the Palmer Archipelago still carries his name. Come along with Tidbits as we visit Antarctica! ANTARCTIC FACTS • The lowest reliably measured temperature of a continuously occupied station on Earth was −128.6°F (−89.2°C) on July 21, 1983 at Vostok Station. • In summer, the population of Antarctica averages about 5,000. In winter, it drops to 1,000. About 40,000 tourists visit each year. There are no permanent residents. • Antarctica is the only continent without a time zone. The scientists who reside there go by either the time of their home land or the supply line that brings them supplies. • Antarctica is the world’s largest desert. In Antarctica’s Dry Valleys, it hasn’t rained for more than 2 million years. The ground and climate so closely resemble the surface of Mars that NASA did testing there for the Viking mission.

Turkey Buying Tips Whether you buy a fresh or frozen turkey, proper cooking and handling of the bird will ensure a delicious holiday meal. Here are some tips from the National Turkey Federation: ¥ Purchase one pound of turkey per person to be served. This formula allows for the holiday meal plus a little left over for the prized turkey sandwich. ¥ Ensure that the packaging is intact and avoid purchasing a bird with packaging that has rips or tears. ¥ Save on supermarket specials by purchasing more than one turkey. A whole frozen turkey may be stored in your freezer for up to 12 months. ¥ Select the size of turkey based on number of servings needed. There is no appreciable difference between female (hen) and male (Tom) turkeys in tenderness, white/dark meat ratio or other eating qualities. Hens typically weigh between 14 to 16 pounds and toms 15 pounds on up, so choose the size which best fits the number of dinner guests you expect. ¥ Select alternative turkey cuts if you are having a small gathering for the holiday. Other turkey products that are readily available include a turkey breast, tenderloins, cutlets, drumsticks or thighs. Or ask your butcher to cut a whole fresh bird in two halves, roast one half and freeze the other half for a later occasion. Frozen Turkey: ¥ Purchase during special value sales and store the bird in the freezer until the thawing time begins. ¥ Store at 0 degrees F or below. ¥ Thaw under refrigeration, in cold water, or in the microwave: Refrigeration: Allow approximately 24 hours per five pounds to thaw in the refrigerator. Cold Water: Allow approximately 30 minutes per pound to thaw in cold water, which is changed every 30 minutes. Do not use warm or hot water and be sure to change the water every 30 minutes. Microwave: Follow the microwave manufacturer’s directions and begin to roast the turkey immediately following the microwave process. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
SEAL CAMS • Researchers supported by the National Science Foundation wanted to find out what goes on in Antarctic waters. So the 8-member team based out of McMurdo Station strapped video cameras, infrared LEDs, and data recorders to 15 Weddell seals, released them, and then tracked their movements over the course of three summers. The laboratory was located above the only blow hole for miles around, so the wild seals had to return to the same spot to breathe and were prevented from swimming away with the equipment, which was worth some $25,000 per seal. The information the seals brought back led to new insights on the behavior of two little-known fish species, the silverfish and the toothfish, and the way seals hunt their prey. Scientists intend to use the “seal-cams” again in the future to study other deepwater species. ADMIRAL BYRD’S SOLITUDE • On one trip to Antarctica, explorer Admiral Byrd decided to see how prolonged isolation would affect the human psyche. He took up residence at the beginning of the dark Antarctic winter in a 9-by-13 foot (2.7 x 3.9m) cabin on the Ross Ice Shelf, 125 miles (200 km) away from the rest of his crew at their base. He kept busy with weather observations, books, records, and housekeeping. Radio contact with his crew was made three times a week. His sojourn began March 28, 1934 and by July, depression combined with carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty stove caused his physical and psychological condition to deteriorate. Rescuers arrived on August 10, and found him so weakened that it was two months before they judged him strong enough to make the return trip to the base station. Admiral Bryd made five trips to the Antarctic and he always took his little dog named Igloo.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D. Botox Can Lessen Eye Muscle Spasms DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been contending with blepharospasm for years. I got some relief from Botox for about four years, but then it stopped working and my doctor moved me to Dysport, which was horrible. It did not relax my symptoms, and it made me constantly very uncomfortable (with a feeling that my eyes were swollen all the time). I stopped the treatments and have been able to cope, until the past six months. I am almost unable to read, look at a computer screen or drive. Do you have any suggestions? I use Ativan to try to relax the stress of the blinking, but even that has lost its effect. I have been discouraged from getting a limited myectomy because of the risks. My ophthalmologist said that a neurologist would be a waste of time. I am desperate for another opinion. -- B.B. ANSWER: Blepharospasm is an uncontrollable muscle spasm around the eyes, often causing blinking and twitching. It ranges from occasional and mild to the much more severe and disabling condition you report. Treatment with botulinum toxin is effective for most people. Botulinum toxin, directly injected into muscle, weakens or paralyzes it. There are three types of botulinum toxin A currently available in the United States: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, as well as botulinum toxin B (Myobloc). I suspect your ophthalmologist changed brands because of the concern of antibodies your body may have developed to the Botox. I would never say that a neurologist would be a waste of time. Blepharospasm is a limited form of dystonia, and neurologists are the experts in dystonia. The neurologist will have an opinion on trying a different form of botulinum toxin, as well as other treatments. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with notalgia paresthetica about five years ago. Several years later, my general practitioner told me to use capsaicin, which helps with the tingling feeling but sometimes my back feels like someone is pinching my spine and the skin tingles, bringing on a very uncomfortable feeling. Can you give me any more information about this skin condition? I am beginning to believe that it is getting worse. -- Anon. ANSWER: Notalgia paresthetica is common, but often not diagnosed, and usually causes an itching under one shoulderblade. It sometimes is associated with curvature of the spine (scoliosis). It isn’t curable, and often gets better and worse. Capsaicin, lidocaine patch and other creams usually provide some relief. Botulinum toxin and nerve block occasionally are used for people with more severe symptoms who don’t respond. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: How often do you advise bathing a 3-month-old baby? The hospital told my granddaughter that you do not have to bathe the baby every day. It’s become a concern for a worried grandparent, because she hasn’t been bathed in a week. -- Anon. ANSWER: Once a week is fine. Three-month-old babies don’t need frequent washings of their whole bodies, and excessive bathing can dry out the skin. A calm grandparent is a source of much comfort to new parents. ***Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Advertisers make Tidbits possible! NORTH & SOUTH: POLES APART • Early astronomers plotted the circle of the sun passing in orbit around the earth. (This was in the days when they thought the earth was the center of the universe.) The circle passed through the constellation of the Great Bear, whose name was Arktos. That is how the northernmost regions of the Earth near that circle became known as the Arctic. The prefix ‘ant-’ means opposite, so the Antarctic is the southernmost region of the planet. • The Antarctic has about eight times as much ice as the Arctic because the Antarctic is a continent and the Arctic is an ocean covered with ice. Land does not hold heat nearly as well as water does, so the ocean moderates the climate in the Arctic. The Arctic is not always cold: summer temperatures above 70°f (21°C) are fairly common. At Fort Yukon near the Arctic Circle in Alaska, it has even reached 100°f. (38°C) in the shade. However, the average year-round temperature in the Antarctic is -18°f. (-28°C) Summertime highs seldom go above freezing. • Both the Arctic and Antarctic are classified as deserts because annual precipitation totals less than 4 inches (10 cm) a year— but the snow that falls stays. In the Arctic, the ice eventually drifts and melts, but in the Antarctic it accumulates year after year. The deepest layers of ice in the Antarctic are some 3 million years old. In the Antarctic, the ice averages more than a mile (1.6 km) thick and is over 14,000 feet (4.2 km) deep at its thickest. The ice in the Arctic Ocean averages only 8 feet (2.5 m) thick. Only 5% of the Antarctic continent is ice-free. The weight of the ice on the Antarctic continent is so great that it has pressed much of the land below sea level. If all the ice were removed, much of the land would probably not rise above the water. • There are only three species of flowering plants living in the Antarctic, plus 75 kinds of moss and 400 kinds of lichen. In the Arctic, there are 900 types of flowering plants, 400 kinds of moss, and 2,000 species of lichen. The largest known land animal living on the Antarctic continent year-round is a wingless relative of the common housefly that is only 1/10th of an inch (.2 cm) long. The Arctic teams with wildlife such as polar bears, wolves, and musk ox. Furthermore, there are about 315 million people living within a radius of 2,700 miles (4,345 km) of the North Pole, but only 4,600 living within the same distance of the South Pole— and half of those only live there temporarily. SOUTH POLE COLDS • Scientists in Antarctica rarely suffer from colds because they are isolated from infected humans. However, when the supply ships arrive bringing visiting scientists, colds run rampant. In an experiment, each scientist was issued packets of iodine-impregnated tissues and instructed to sneeze and blow their nose into them, then wipe their faces and hands with a clean iodine tissue. Furthermore, they were asked to wipe their hands and faces every hour with the tissues. As a result, the number of new colds reported daily dropped from an average of 4.3 to 1.7. Biologists report that Antarctica has only one bacterium per pint of snow making it difficult to pick up illnesses that aren’t imported. HIGH, WIDE AND COLD • The average altitude of the land is 6,000 feet (1,828 m) which is more than twice as high as any other continent. The ice is about 8,000 feet (2,438 m) thick on top of the mountains, making the total average height of the continent 14,000 feet (4,267 m).

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 PENGUINS • Penguins have never been seen at the North Pole. However, they do live near the Equator. Penguins live in many places such as on the ice off the Antarctic continent, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and even as for north as the Galapagos Island which is near the Equator. All of these areas are touched by cold ocean currents, which the birds love. They refuse to cross warm currents. • Penguins raise their families a little differently than most animals— the male is the one who incubates the egg while the female is totally out of the picture. The female lays the egg on the ice, then immediately takes to the ocean and is not seen again for the next two months or so while she feeds in warmer waters. The male holds the egg on the top of his feet and under a special pouch of blubber. He neither eats nor moves much as he incubates the egg through the two months of the worst winter weather. When the chick hatches, he feeds it a milk-like substance produced in his crop, and the chick eats from his throat. Only then does the female return, and the male goes to sea to replenish his blubber while she takes over. When he returns, they share the business of feeding Junior. If both parents are out fishing, the chick will be left in the care of another adult babysitter. Rookeries can contain more than a million birds. Since each pair lay only one egg per year, populations have a hard time recovering from disaster. • Penguins return to the very same nest year after year, building it up with new stones in a ring. When they return to their nesting grounds each year, the old nest is buried under several feet of snow. Still, the penguins know exactly where it is located and will place additional stones on top of the ice. When the snow melts, the new stones will be laying exactly on top of the old ones. • In Welsh, “pen” means head, and “gwyn” means white, giving us the word penguin. • They are the only bird that can swim but can’t fly. They can swim up to 30 mph (48 km/hr). A penguin with a six-inch stride can run as fast as an average man. • Although they spend their lives eating live fish, when presented with a dead fish on the ground, they do not recognize it as food. • Penguins are monogamous and mate for life. The only way to tell male and female apart is by autopsy, though during mating season females might have muddy footprints on her back left by males during mating.

I am totally housebroken and love to play with balls and children. I’m good with some dogs but don’t let me get too close to cats. I am afraid of loud noises, especially thunder. I am not to fond or riding in cars but I will tolerate short trips. Baths and playing in water are favorite pastimes for me. I do need a nice high fenced in yard because I can jump low fences. I am longing for a loving family to come claim me as their own.
Dog and Cat Shelter
Dog’s Trail Runs Frustrate Owner DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I love taking my Golden Lab, “Chloe,” out for walks in the nearby woods. Like other dog owners, I let her run off leash on the trails. Unlike other dog owners, I can’t get Chloe to stay near me. She immediately takes off, plunges into the pond, then dashes away into the forest. I’m tired of spending my whole time chasing her. What can I do? -- Chuck in Quincy, Mass. DEAR CHUCK: It sounds like Chloe is an energetic and fun dog! That’s always great, but I feel your pain when it comes to tracking her down in the woods. Work on her off-leash skills, first and foremost. Make this a part of her training every single day -- incorporate it into her walks if you can. You’ll need to take her to an enclosed outdoor space, like your yard or a mostly empty dog park. The most basic command, of course, is getting her to come back when you call or whistle. Have Chloe sit and stay while you remove the leash. Let her dart away several feet, then call her back, in a calm but firm voice. When she comes back, have her sit again, then reward her. (Some owners use treats as a reward, others don’t -- it’s your decision as to what works best, especially at the beginning of training.) Over time you also should train her to stay, sit or lie down at a distance. All of these commands are achievable -- it just takes time for both of you to learn a new way to communicate off leash. During your woodland walks, pay close attention to things that really set Chloe off. She clearly loves the water -- are other things attracting her as well? Learn those patterns so you can anticipate and head off potential escapes. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
