by Janet Spencer Because September is National Disaster Preparedness month, come along with Tidbits as we weather a hurricane! SMALL FACTS, BIG STORMS • Hurricanes are born where the ocean is warmest, when it is warmest. The Caribbean Sea gets warmer as the sun passes over it on its way north in June and July; it warms up again when the sun travels south in September and October. Therefore the hurricane season lasts from June through October. Not surprisingly, Florida gets hit by more hurricanes than any other state. • The practice of naming hurricanes seems to have begun in a fictional book called “Storm” published in 1941. In this book, a meteorologist amuses himself by naming tropical storms after girls. The idea caught on. It became standard practice in 1950 when there were three different hurricanes going on at the same time in the Caribbean. Meteorologists began choosing names in alphabetical order. In 1978 they started naming hurricanes after men. • The word ‘hurricane’ may have originated from the Carib god Huracan, a malicious spirit who ruled over fire, wind, and stormy weather and craved human life, haunting the coastlines and delivering destruction, chaos, and death indiscriminately

Tidbits® of Sheridan and Johnson Counties Tidbits Presents the
HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Sugar Alcohols Aren’t Sugars or Alcohol --DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently was diagnosed as being prediabetic and told to watch my sugar intake. So I now read the nutrition facts on packages. However, I am confused about the listed sugars. Sometimes the label includes both “sugar” and “sugar alcohols.” For instance, a package can read “sugars 1 g” and “sugar alcohols 11 g.” Would my sugar intake be 1 g or 12 g? What is the difference, and what should I avoid/limit? -- B.D. ANSWER: First, congratulations on reading labels. There is a lot of good information to be found that can help you decide whether something is a healthy food for you. That being said, sugar alcohols are confusing. Sugar alcohols have nothing to do with the type of alcohol in beer, wine or spirits, and they aren’t sugars either. A sugar alcohol, such as sorbitol or xylitol, is an incompletely absorbed carbohydrate. Since they are incompletely absorbed, you get only some of the calories, and your blood sugar goes up less than if you had had the same amount of sweetness with regular sugar. A rough but reasonable rule of thumb is to count about half the grams of sugar alcohol as sugar, for the purposes of counting sugar grams. So in your example, it would be about 6.5 grams of sugar. You might wonder what happens to the unabsorbed sugar alcohol. It continues through your GI tract and acts as a laxative. Some people are very sensitive and will have diarrhea with just a little sugar alcohol; others tolerate more. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been suffering for many years from miserable episodes of perineal pain related to my benign, enlarged prostate. My urologist’s recommendation of NSAIDs and sitz baths has afforded very limited relief. I would appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. -- J.S.K. ANSWER: I see a lot of people with benign enlargement of the prostate, and the most common symptoms are inability to empty the bladder easily and having to urinate frequently. Persistent pain would make me concerned that the prostate enlargement is not the cause, or not the only cause, of the pain. I would think carefully about a bladder stone, chronic inflammation of the prostate and interstitial cystitis as a short list. Chronic pelvic pain is a condition much more frequently encountered in women, and there are specialists in evaluating just that complex problem. Men can get chronic pelvic pain too, and I am concerned that it often is assumed to be due to the prostate, when there are many other possibilities. It’s time for you to be re-evaluated. The booklet on the prostate gland discusses treatments for enlargement as well as cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

BLOW THE MAN DOWN • There are many perils attendant with hurricanes: strong winds, high waves, heavy rains causing flooding and landslides, and storm surges. A storm surge is a gigantic dome of water that swells under the low barometric pressure of the hurricane, flooding the coastline. The sea rises a foot for every inch drop in barometric pressure. In the eye of a hurricane where the barometric pressure reaches record lows, this can cause a devastating storm surge. • Three-quarters of all hurricane deaths occur due to drownings in the storm surge. Surges 40 feet tall (12 m) are not uncommon. • The farther the wind blows across the top of the sea unobstructed, the higher it pushes the waves. The taller the waves get, the more they absorb the energy of the wind. The rule of thumb is that the maximum height of the waves equals half the speed of the wind. So a hurricane wind of 150 mph (241 km/hr) can produce waves up to 75 feet (23 m) tall. • Hurricanes usually track forward at between 5 and 15 mph (8 to 18 km/hr). At 15 mph, a hurricane can cover 3,600 miles (5,800 km) in 10 days. They can be up to 600 miles (965 km) wide. Most hurricanes last between 7 and 14 days from the time they form until the time they dissipate when they encounter land. • It is said that in 1938, a resident of Westhampton Beach, NY received in the mail a barometer he had ordered. Opening the package, he was disappointed to find that it registered “hurricane”. He tapped it and smacked it, but still nothing could dislodge the indica14 tor from the hurricane setting. ObSheridan Good Health Emporium Leather viously the barometer was faulty. Outfitters He wrote a letter of protest to the • manufacturer and went to the post office to mail it back. He was Werco Ave. never able to return home from the post office, because the hurricane struck just then and swept • Firestone his house into the sea. Complete Auto Care (continued next page)

HURRICANE FACTS • On September 3, 1821, a hurricane hit New York City and moved north up into New England. A man named William Redfield rode on horseback through the area shortly after the storm passed and noticed as he moved through the area that in the southernmost areas hit by the storm, the trees had all fallen down in the exact opposite direction as the trees that had toppled in the northernmost area damaged by the storm. Upon returning home, Redfield collected information about the storm from newspapers, letters, and ships’ logs and afterwards was the first human to come to a great conclusion concerning the nature of hurricanes: “This storm was exhibited in the form of a great whirlwind.” • In some places, hurricanes are called cyclones, which is Greek for “wheel” or “coils.” • When hurricanes strike places like New England, thousands of elms, birches, spruces, and hemlocks fall, but oaks, hickories, and walnuts do not. That’s because they have taproots that sink like a shaft straight into the earth, whereas other trees have shallow root systems that spread out flat. • In 1954 Hurricane Edna became twins when it reached the New England coast: it split apart and became two storms with two eyes. • In 1963 the weathermen in Taiwan predicted than oncoming hurricane Gloria would bypass the island. However, the storm struck the island head-on the following day, killing some 250 people and causing over $17 million in damage. The weathermen were arrested and charged with criminally negligent forecasting, a crime which carried a penalty of up to ten years in prison. The weathermen brought in experts who testified to the unpredictability of hurricanes. The judge decided that the prosecution had failed to prove criminal intent. The weathermen were freed. • Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, was getting ready to invade Japan in 1274 when a hurricane blew in. Hundreds of his ships were sunk in the storm and thousands of his troops drowned. Japan was saved. Seven years later he tried to invade Japan again. This time he managed to get to the shores of Japan with some 200,000 men and a thousand ships. Then another hurricane blew in, wrecking the ships and sweeping the beaches clean of soldiers. Kublai Khan no doubt thought of hurricanes as work of the devil, but the Japanese referred to their savior storms as “kamikaze” meaning “divine wind.” • In 1854 during the Crimean War, 500 British soldiers died in the Battle of the Light Brigade at Balaklava. A few weeks later, a hurricane wrecked 13 supply ships that were destined for the British army still stationed in Balaklava. With no supplies, over 8,000 soldiers died during the winter. • In December 1944 a hurricane struck the U.S. Pacific Fleet that was preparing to invade the Philippines. Three destroyers sank, nine ships sustained serious damage, and 19 ships suffered some damage. The storm wrecked 146 planes, and 790 soldiers drowned. The invasion was postponed. Some experts feel that if the invasion had not been drowned out and the Philippines had been re-taken, the war with Japan would have ended without any atomic bombs being dropped. • On November 13, 1970, a hurricane roared up the Bay of Bengal in Pakistan and swamped the area. Half a million people died. Survivors turned to the government for help. But the government of Pakistan was located 2,000 miles away, out of the path of the storm. They sent no aid. Thousands died while waiting for help. The governmental indifference caused such resentment that revolution broke out which hastened the split of Bangladesh, which became a nation independent of Pakistan.

ADVERTISING • The word “new” on a product is regulated in the U.S. Usually it can only appear on a package for six months. It can be used in some cases up to two years. A product can be called “new” or “improved” if it changes anything, including color, scent, or packaging. MEMORABLE CAMPAIGNS • In 1970, the Dr Pepper company decided it wanted to make itself better known in New York City. It spent $1.3 million in advertising, including 13,200 bus posters, 6,600 subway ads, 150 TV spots, and almost 2,000 radio ads. The next year sales in New York increased by 1.5 million cases. At 35¢ per can, the company gained $9.1 million gross from this promotion— seven times the amount spent on the advertising. • William Wrigley once said, “Anybody can make gum. The problem is selling it.” He decided the solution was advertising, and he turned into not only the world’s largest gum manufacturer, but also the world’s largest advertiser. He spent $100,000 on an advertising campaign in New York City that flopped. So he tried spending another $100,000 just on Broadway, and it also flopped. Then he spent $100,000 advertising in small New York towns, buying every billboard, all the streetcar space, and huge newspaper spreads. Orders poured in. • An ad for a dental clinic in Topeka, Kansas in the 1920s featured a grinning boy with red hair, freckles and a missing front tooth. The boy was not worried a bit, because his dentist was Painless Romine. The picture of the grinning boy appeared also in ads for shoes and soft drinks. In the 1950s the boy was adopted by Mad Magazine, and named Alfred E. Neuman. In 1956 he was even featured as a write-in candidate for president, but lost. (continued on last page)

Overeating Puppy Isn’t So Cute --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I watched a “cute” commercial today where a toddler sneakily pours dog food on the floor for the family puppy to eat. I think it was really irresponsible of the dog food company to show that without noting the risks to dogs that overeat, particularly puppies. Maybe a better commercial would be the mom rushing the dog to the veterinarian to make sure he doesn’t die of bloat. Why would the company present this as cute? -- Shocked in Syracuse, New York DEAR SHOCKED: You don’t need me to answer why the pet food company presented the commercial in that way. Cute sells, right? Because you’re concerned about the way the situation is presented, with no apparent consequences for the puppy (bloat is a possible risk for dogs that eat a large amount of food in one sitting), you can contact the company either through its website or in writing. Now, what if that situation happened in real life? Your toddler gets into the dog food and sits there happily feeding the family pet, for who knows how long before you discover them. You’ll need to monitor the dog closely. Bloat, known clinically as GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), happens when a dog’s stomach enlarges, twists and puts pressure on surrounding organs. It’s a very serious condition that can cause death in just hours. Overeating is one possible cause of bloat. If your dog’s stomach is distended, it tries to belch or vomit without success, it’s weak, panting and salivating, rush it to the vet. If your pet shows no symptoms but you’re concerned, contact the vet for instructions. Send your questions about pet care to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
Noteworthy Inventions FRANCOIS SPOTURNO • Francois Spoturno was born on the island of Corsica in 1874, but when he moved to Paris as a young man he took on his mother’s maiden name because it sounded more French. • One day he wanted to play cards with a friend, but the friend said he was busy because he had to mix up a batch of his own cologne. Francois asked if he could watch, and as a result he became interested in perfumes. He studied the art for two years, learning how to grow and harvest flowers, and then extract their scent. • Around that time, the Industrial Revolution was yielding all sorts of synthetic essences as well. Francois combined natural scents with synthetic fragrances and began to peddle his own perfume to barbers. • At that time perfumes and colognes were packaged in unattractive pharmaceutical bottles. Francois was inspired to package his product in elegant bottles instead. He asked designers to craft bottles for him from crystal, feeling he should sell perfume as “something in a lovely bottle,” rather than “something lovely in a bottle.” He wanted to appeal to the eye as well as the nose. He also thought the label should be beautiful as well, such as raised gold lettering on a black background. • Sales were slow when he tried to make the jump to department stores, but then fate intervened: in a store in Paris, he dropped a bottle of his perfume and it shattered, its scent permeating the store, creating immediate demand, resulting in a large order, and launching his career. • Now his line of perfumes, named after his French mother’s maiden name which he adopted as his own name, is well-known worldwide. What’s it called? Answer: Coty. DAVID MULLANY • In 1952, 13-year-old David Mullany loved playing baseball, but his backyard in Connecticut was too small and the danger of broken windows too great. He and his friends played with a perforated plastic golf ball and a broomstick, but David couldn’t throw a curveball with it. • His dad, David Mullany, Sr., thought all it needed was extra weight on one side of the ball. A friend of his worked at a cosmetic factory and said that the round plastic moldings that covered Coty perfume bottles for shipping were the size of a baseball. David started experimenting with them. • He cut one in half, added weight, and taped it back together, but it didn’t curve. Next he cut some holes in it to create drag but it still didn’t curve. Over the next few weeks he and his son experimented, discovering that the trick was to perforate one half of the ball, and leave the other half intact. • Finally they had a ball that was guaranteed to curve at least two feet (.6m). David Mullany, Jr. named it after a slang baseball term meaning ‘to strike out swinging.’ They set up a factory, selling the ball for 49 cents, and a year later added a plastic bat. • David Mullany, Sr. sold the buyer for Woolworth’s on the new toy when he threw the ball against the man’s office window, which didn’t shatter. TV ads featured Yankee pitcher Whitey Ford hurling the ball against plate glass, which also didn’t break. In alleys and backyards children across the country started playing with the new ball. • When the New York state legislature declared that the sport was risky enough to require government oversight, they received such ridicule that the law was rescinded. Today there are national tournaments. What’s the name of the ball? Answer: Wiffle ball.

ADVERTISING (cont’d) • A study done of U.S. television ads showed the following words to be the most frequently used: new, improved, better, extra, fresh, clean, beautiful, free, good, great, and light. ENDORSEMENTS • Tennis player Rod Laver was paid to endorse a certain type of tennis racket. However, he really disliked the brand and preferred his original racket. He solved the problem by using his old racket, which was painted to look like the kind he was endorsing. • In 1972 Lou Brock, baseball’s biggest base stealer, was shown in an ad in which he tore around the bases, then credited a certain type of candy for his speed. In a landmark decision stemming from this, the Federal Trade Commission ruled candy can’t be credited as the source of a person’s speed. They also ruled that Domino Sugar could not advertise themselves as the “official sugar” of the National Football League because all brands of sugar are identical. Later the FTC ruled that any athlete endorsing a product would have to be a bona fide user of that product. QUICK QUIP • The sports writer was interviewing the coach. “What’s the line-up for this season?” “Well,” replied the coach, “It looks like this: Jones and Jackson will do the razor blade commercials; Smith and Brown will go to deodorants; Taylor and Fitzpatrick will appear for shaving cream; and McGregor is slated for breakfast cereals.” IT’S A FACT • An Indianapolis mortician advertised that his coffins came with a “lifetime guarantee.” • Jim Backus, who did the voice of Mr. Magoo and played Mr. Howell on “Gilligan’s Island,” recorded 15,000 commercials for La-Z-Boy recliners and got listed in the “Guinness Book of World Records” for the effort.
