IS PRINT DEAD?

With all the old and new ways to market, Free Papers are on the rise as Print Publications still rank number 1 with the ability to capture people’s attention. While Radio can give listeners great messages, TV commercials offer great ways to promote video of your business, but what’s the chance someone will remember or have time to take down your contact information after it aired? Internet is still the wild west of marketing as many people will see your ad but few will click on it. With Print as always, readers can view the ad as long as they want, they can save it and even share it with others. As they say never put your eggs in one basket. A diverse marketing plan is a shrewd marketing plan. Make Tidbits a part of it.

Glass Shoes Q: My great-aunt collected glass shoes throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. I have inherited her collection of several dozen. Are they worth keeping? -- Suzanne, Palmetto, Fla. A: Little shoes made of glass were produced by dozens of companies in hundreds of shapes, styles and colors. Some of the earliest I have seen were made during the Victorian era. A fairly good guide is “Collectible Shoes of Glass” by Earlene Wheatley (Collector Books). Prices for the shoes depend on age, condition and desirability, but some can command hundreds of dollars each. *** Q: I was stationed in Germany during the 1950s and began buying Hummel figurines when I could find them. I didn’t intend to be such a collector, but eventually discovered that I had amassed more than 75 individual pieces. Can you recommend a good price guide so I can determine values for insurance purposes? -- Robert, Madison, Wisc. A: There are several excellent guides. My personal favorite is “The Official M.I. Hummel Price Guide: Figurines & Plates” by Heidi Ann Von Recklinghauser. It features more than 2,000 illustrations, and updated listings and values for most of the editions, including the more recent 2000 series. Published by Krause Books, it is $29.99 and available at www.krausebooks. com. The author’s family has collected Hummels for more than three generations, and she is an active member of the international M.I. Hummel Club. *** Q: I have a collection of autographed photos, mostly of

Contact is P.O. Box 482, Hope, PA 07844; Brian@ NACValue.com; and www.NACValue.com. *** Q: I have a Campbell Kids doll that is all-vinyl with original clothes. It measures about 12 inches high.

FLASHBACK By Mick Harper

1. Name the British band that started in 1962 as The Scorpions before changing to The Spectres and Traffic Jam. 2. Which Jackie DeShannon song was later covered by the Ramones, the Searchers and Smokie? (Hint: think sewing.) 3. Name the Los Bravos debut song and year. 4. Which artist released “Swingin’ School”? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave, She said ‘I’ve got a feeling if you ride tonight I’ll grieve.’” Answers 1. Status Quo (“Pictures of Matchstick Men”). Only one original member, Francis Rossi, remains with the group, which still tours. 2. “Needles and Pins,” originally in 1963. It was only a minor hit until the Searchers version. 3. “Black Is Black,” in 1966. Because of the similarity in lead voices, many thought it was done by Gene Pitney. 4. Bobby Rydell, in 1960. It did well, but not as well as his “Wild One.” 5. “Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots,” by The Cheers in 1955, one of the first in the teenage tragedy songs genre. In this one the boyfriend, the “terror of Highway 101,” met his end when “he hit a screamin’ diesel that was Californiabound.” (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.

Sweating Buckets DEAR DR. ROACH: I hope you can help me. I am 67 years old and have been sweating profusely from my head for about six years. I believe it is secondary hyperhidrosis. No one in my family has this problem. The sweating seems to happen at all different times, but not at night. The moisture runs in rivulets from my scalp anytime from morning to evening, but mostly in the morning. I tried stopping my water pill, but it still happened. It happened when I stopped vitamins and took only my medications for physical problems. My doctor tested my thyroid, and it was fine. Please help me, as it is an embarrassing ailment, and it happens no matter the season or what I have eaten. I do drink tea and coffee, but not soda. There are people who have said I should take Botox, but I have little faith in the product, as it can cause serious health problems and death. -- M.E. ANSWER: “Hyperhidrosis” simply means “too much sweat.” I think you probably have primary hyperhidrosis, meaning that the sweating is the only problem, as opposed to secondary, which means it’s due to something else. Other conditions that can lead to secondary hyperhidrosis include the thyroid disease your doctor looked for, and medications (which it also doesn’t seem to be). Other rare causes, such as tuberculosis and lymphoma, surely would have produced other symptoms by now. The most common sites for hyperhidrosis are the palms, armpits and soles of the feet. Nearly everybody sweats in those places, but with hyperhidrosis, the amount of sweat is much greater than normal and can have serious emotional, professional and social effects. The first treatment I would recommend would be a prescription antiperspirant, either aluminum chloride (Xerac) or topical glycopyrrolate (available by compounding pharmacies in the U.S. and Canada). The scalp is a harder place than most to apply it, but after applying, you can dry with a hair dryer, and use a plastic shower cap to keep the medicine on at nighttime. Occasionally, oral medications such as clonidine are used. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is usually quite safe in expert hands. A last resort is surgery to remove the sympathetic nerves to the scalp, a procedure that’s very effective. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

252 Broadway Street, Springville 319-854-7325 VETERANS POST by Freddy Groves Burial Benefit Just Got Easier As of July 2014, surviving spouses no longer need to apply for burial benefits after the death of a veteran. It used to be that survivors had to submit receipts and forms after the burial of a veteran, and then wait for the reimbursement check. The amounts were small: $300 for a non-service-connected death, and $2,000 if it was service-connected. Now, as the Department of Veterans Affairs tries to cut back on the number of claims it processes, the authorized amounts will be paid automatically once it’s notified of a veteran’s death. Unfortunately, the amounts will remain the same. The veteran still will be eligible for other benefits. A headstone (granite or marble) or marker (granite, marble, bronze) will be provided at no cost, but there is likely to be a cost for placement if it’s not a national cemetery. A medallion can be provided to attach to a headstone that was privately purchased at a civilian cemetery. For questions or to check status of headstone applications, you can call 1-800-697-6947. Survivors also can apply to receive a keepsake burial flag. This year, the VA estimates it will pay the benefit to 62,000 surviving spouses. If you’re a surviving spouse, a funeral director will typically take on the task of notifying the VA and Social Security, but don’t take that for granted. Ask. To find the nearest VA state or national cemetery, go online to www.cem.va.gov. You’ll find more information about burial benefits and eligibility for burial in a national VA cemetery. To reach the National Cemetery Scheduling Office, call 1-866-900-6417. Call 1-800-535-1117 for follow-ups. A printable .PDF file of information about national cemeteries can be found at the above Web address. Look for IS1_Jan_2011.pdf.

Fresh, ripe summertime peaches -- fat, deep-yellow globes, awash in the color of a sunset. Peaches epitomize the extravagance of the season of sunshiny days and the abundance that comes with them. It takes so many things to happen at just the right time for this truly precious fruit to produce its bounty. If the winter is cold for just enough days, and if the spring comes at just the right time, and if the A great big “ lovely pink buds are allowed to bloom and are not interrupted by mixed-up temperatures, and if to all who worked to make rain comes but not the hail, and if the sun shines for long enough, Pickle Days 2014 a success! we are rewarded. Unlike some berries and melons that produce flowers in succession, and therefore have an extended fruiting season, peach trees, like most fruit trees, form their flowers in unison, and like a choir, they come to a crescendo all together, at the same time.

“The Skeleton Crew: How Amateur Sleuths Are Solving America’s Coldest Cases” by Deborah Halber (Simon & Schuster, $25) Reviewed by Larry Cox In her debut book, journalist Deborah Halber reveals the curious world of Internet detectives, ordinary people who spend their spare time combing the web to match unidentified human remains with profiles of missing persons. Some of the cases are decades old. The statistics are shocking. More than 40,000 unidentified remains are stowed in freezers and evidence rooms throughout the United States. Some are eventually cremated, and others buried in potter’s fields, but as Halber points out, these anonymous dead have become law enforcement’s version of wards of the state. They’re like financially strapped house guests who turn up uninvited, take up space reserved for more obliging visitors, require care and attention, and then when it’s time for them to move on, don’t have anywhere to go. To help ease this burden, amateur Internet detectives have stepped in to assist, even though they sometimes face resistance from officials. Dr. Marcella Fierro, Virginia’s chief medical examiner and the real-life model for Patricia Cornwell’s fictional character Kay Scarpetta, has worked on some of the nation’s most notorious cases and has written a handbook for pathologists on conducting postmortem examinations of unidentified remains. She and other dedicated people, such as web sleuth Todd Matthews, a former Tennessee factory worker, piece together clues in an effort identify America’s unnamed dead. Most of the featured sleuths have day jobs, yet spend much of their free time poring over facial reconstructions on websites that are much like a Facebook for the dead. They sift through newspaper archives, missing-person listings and other databases to try and match the unidentified with photos and other details of the missing. In fact, some of these sleuths have come to see their work as a sort of competitive sport. But in this game everyone wins, as some cold cases thought to be unsolvable have been solved thanks to these amateur detectives. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Good to see Cher is recycling. All her old LP's are now in her cheekbones.

HOLLYWOOD By Tony Rizzo PHOTO: Cher HOLLYWOOD -- The super-bombastic Cher kicked off her “Dressed to Kill” tour in March (recently in Ontario, Canada; Seattle; and San Jose, California) to some of the best reviews of her career. The critics loved Cher’s golden gladiator with a blond wig; her vampire, with a bat-shaped headdress and fangs; and her tribute to the swinging ‘60s, replete in red mini skirt and faux fur coat. The 72-show tour will net her more than $42 million. She’ll soon be playing New York (Madison Square Garden Sept. 20-21), New Jersey, D.C., Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, North and South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Her tour ends Nov. 3 in Wichita, Kansas. Also knocking them dead is Cher’s opening act, Cyndi Lauper, who makes her entrance wrapped in a rainbow flag, showing her “True Colors.” If you live anywhere near where Cher is stopping by, don’t miss her show ... it may be her last farewell tour *** Even on tour, Cher is stirring up controversy. Well-known for being an animal activist, Cher has called on her 2 million Twitter followers to lash out at Sea World, texting, “SEA WORLD IS A HEINOUS CORP. THAT PRETENDS 2 CARE 4 WHALES. IT IS (money) & ONLY (money) THAT MOTIVATES THEM.” Last year she offered a $500,000 reward for the L.A. Zoo’s release of Billy the Elephant, an animal described as “overweight, depressed and sexually frustrated.” A judge ruled in 2012 that Billy could remain in her enclosure, but Cher hasn’t given up the fight to see her released. *** The Disney Corp., which owns ABC Television, is hard at work preparing both a sequel and a Broadway musical of its billiondollar baby “Frozen.” But in the meantime, Disney is spinning the characters of Anna, Elsa and Kristoff into the fourth season of its show “Once Upon a Time.” Newcomer Elizabeth Lail will play Anna, and Scott Michael Foster, of the ABC Family series “Greek,” will play Kristoff. The role of Elsa hasn’t been cast yet. Now the question is, will kids, the biggest fans of “Frozen,” watch this show, or will their parents tune it out because they’re sick of “Frozen,” which their kids watch night and day? *** Looks like Warners dropped the ball on the ad campaign for Clint Eastwood’s great new film, “Jersey Boys.” It succeeded in getting the over-50 demographic into the theaters, but the younger audiences are not showing up because they don’t know the music of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Come on, Clint, you played ramrod Rowdy Yates on “Rawhide,” you must know a way of herding them in like cattle! (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Whether you are on vacation or in your neighborhood or your own back yard, summertime activities can provide endless opportunities for keeping young kids’ minds sharp. Try some of these day-to-day ideas to maintain and strengthen the estimation skills of your preschool and school-age children. They’ll see how math relates to everyday life.

ANSWERS

QUANTITY Before you open a package of peanuts, sunflower seeds or raisins at snack time, have each family member guess how many food items are inside. Write each guess on a piece of paper, and then count the items in groups of 10. Count by 10s and ones to determine the exact amount. Finally, divide evenly among family members with the “winner” receiving his or her share and the “remainder.”

SIZE Size estimation is fun to do when you unload bulk items from the grocery store and farmer’s market -- or maybe some will be harvested from your own trees and vegetable garden. Let your child arrange peaches, plums, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. in order from smallest to largest or lightest to heaviest. Using a kitchen scale, weigh the produce to see if the sizes were estimated correctly. Try estimating the weight of other random items from around the

house, too, such as toys, shoes and books. TIME When your child wants to know how long something will take, give him the time and an example of that time length. For example: 30 minutes is as long as “Sid the Science Kid” television show; 15 minutes is as long as it takes to drive to Natalie’s house; and five minutes is the walk to the bus stop at the corner. As you do chores together, guess how long a particular task will take, such as setting the table, feeding the dog or washing the car. Write down each guess. Record the beginning and ending times and show how close you come. Or, make it exciting and play “Beat the Clock” if it’s appropriate to the activity. Set a timer and try to complete it in the estimated allotted time. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
