NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS

by Blue Sullivan There is something singularly satisfying about finding a really good price on something. Pawn stores and antique shops present opportunities to experience this joy. It’s surely why so many of us are drawn to them. • The old stereotype about pawn shops was that they were dirty places run by unscrupulous men and women looking for every chance they could find to cheat you out of a buck. Yet the massive success of reality shows such as “Pawn Stars” and “Hardcore Pawn” has done a lot to rebut that inaccurate image. • David Bakke of “Market Crashers” notes that while you, “probably look for ways to save money as often as you can… here’s one you may never have considered: shopping at a pawn shop. It’s actually a viable way to save money — and not just on guns.” • In his article, “7 Things You Should and Shouldn’t Buy from a Pawn Shop,” Bakke outlines the best things to buy. turn the page for more!

• Bakke says that perhaps the safest buys at any pawn shop are tools. He notes that the prices are often far superior to those of new tools. This is doubly true if you’re just looking for one or two specific tools for home renovation or repair. “It’s simply not worth it to pay full price for seldom-used tools,” says Bakke. • According to Bakke, the other great value found at almost any pawn shop is jewelry. He explains that it’s typical to find prices that are half what they would be for new retail jewelry. Bakke chalks this up to people’s distrust of the idea of “used” jewelry. • “Some people may have an issue with buying ‘used’ jewelry, but isn’t almost all jewelry ‘used’ in some way, shape, or form?” Bakke argues. Since so much jewelry, even retail jewelry, is comprised of items made from melted down gold from other sources and re-set diamonds, why not buy it “used” for a much better price? • As for items that are best left on the pawnshop shelf, Bakke is emphatic. He advises to never buy electronics or home appliances with a lot of moving parts. He singles out vacuum cleaners, computers, digital cameras and televisions as things to avoid. • Bakke thinks televisions are possibly the riskiest pawn-shop purchase. “There is an implied risk with purchasing anything from a pawn shop since it’s all used merchandise, but this risk goes up even farther with televisions, especially flat-screen LED TVs,” says Bakke.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE

STOP

The beautiful thing about brakes in a car is that we can avoid many collisions when we apply them. If we stay alert, keep our eyes on the road, and our hands on the wheel we can learn when and how to use the brakes. Using the brakes properly allows us to STOP before major damage is incurred. As we communicate in life we are going to enter many different intersections with people. If we can learn to apply the brakes before a collision we can STOP a lot of damage that could dent or even total a relationship. Here are some things that could help avoid a serious collision in our relationships.

S top when you see a collision coming T alk about things before you let your foot off the brake O ptions that will avoid the wreck in communication

(continued): • Bakke warns that almost no pawn shops allow money back returns. The most they offer is in-store credit, so buyer beware. He advises, “Be sure to inquire specifically about all aspects of any return policy they may have.” • Though he mentions that he has experienced instances where something he bought at a pawn shop broke soon after, Bakke thinks that the positives easily outnumber the negatives. He says, “The overall money that I have saved over the years has far outweighed the replacement cost of the few things that did break down.” • The process of finding good value at antique shops requires a little more time and thought, but it’s just as rewarding. An advice column from the website AntiqueMarks.com entitled “Buying antiques — how, where, when and why to buy” gives 10 sure-fire tips on how to make a wise purchase. • Most antique dealers are happy to haggle over their prices. The column strongly advises antique shoppers to ask for a discount on any item they are interested in. It notes that dealers usually assign a private code to each item advising how much of a discount they’re prepared to give (for instance, 25 percent off the sticker). Asking for a discount prompts the salesperson to investigate this. Simply ask, “What’s your best price on this item?” • Another potential option for getting a discount is paying cash, but don’t offer to pay in hard currency up front. After negotiating a maximum discount under the auspices of paying by check or credit card, then (and only then) ask if there might any further cash discount. Not every seller will offer one, but some do.

(continued): • Another essential tip when antique shopping is to thoroughly examine any item of interest before buying. Antique-marks advises you to, “Look at the bottom, the top, the sides. Look from odd angles and use a magnifier to look close.” • Examining each item of interest extensively is vital, as is inquiring about any damage or restoration the item might’ve undergone. As Antique-marks notes, “If you don’t ask, they don’t need to tell you.” • One of the best ways to find a good deal is to look for items that don’t fit the focus of the individual antique shop. If you’re in a shop that focuses on furniture, look for the odd bit of ceramics or jewelry. Items that don’t fit in will often be discounted much higher to get rid of them. • Check if the shop is a member of any trade associations. As Antique-marks notes, this provides “a greater degree of security and protection” for your purchases. Fake antiques are not uncommon, and some are quite convincing. • When completing your antique purchase, make sure you a get a receipt. Make sure it lists specifics about the item, including age, damage or restoration, the material it’s made of and its value. • Finally, if you decide to purchase antiques at auction, do your homework! Know the rules of auction bidding and familiarize yourself with items shipped from outside the country. Valuable and antique items must be declared through customs.

High-Tech Learning Some of us have to wait until our grandchildren show up to teach us how to use a new high-tech device or navigate a social-media site online. But we could learn it for ourselves with a bit of instruction. With that in mind, AARP has created a series of how-to books to lead us step by step through some of the things that interest us. Here is a sample of what they offer for seniors: iPad: Tech to Connect, Pinterest for Dummies, Genealogy Online, Facebook, Tablets, Excel 2010, Outlook 2010, Laptops for Dummies, Word 2010, e-Readers and more. If you want to look at all the books, go online to bookstore. aarp.org. Click on a topic of interest, but look at Technology to learn more about the books above. Other categories include food and cooking, money, health, travel, self-help and some excellent home and family selections. You’ll find e-books, if you prefer, if you have a Kindle or Nook, print books and even free downloads. You don’t order the books through AARP -- instead they come from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million or Indie Bound. Another site with technology books for seniors is Visual Steps www.visualsteps. com. Here is a small sample of what it offers: iPad for Seniors, Social Media for Seniors, Google for Seniors, Internet and Email with Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Microsoft office 2010 and 2007, Photo and Video Editing and so much more. Senior Sleuth Guides [www. sleuthguides.com] has a free book that’s worth reading, “The Senior Sleuth’s Guide to Technology.” It covers topics such as home computers, the Internet, health and medication, independent living, communication and travel. It provides a good overview if you want a place to start learning more.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Sept. 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key pens a poem, which is later set to the music of a popular English drinking tune called “To Anacreon in Heaven.” In 1931 the song becomes America’s national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” ● On Sept. 10, 1897, a 25-year-old London taxi driver named George Smith becomes the first person ever arrested for drunk driving. A true breath test didn’t come along until 1931 with a device called the Drunkometer. It involved a blow-up balloon and a tube filled with a purple fluid (potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid). Alcohol on a person’s breath changed the color of the fluid from purple to yellow; the quicker the change, the drunker the person. ● On Sept. 14, 1927, dancer Isadora Duncan is strangled in Nice, France, when the enormous silk scarf she is wearing gets tangled in the rear hubcaps of her open car. The scarf wound around the axle, tightening around Duncan’s neck and dragging her from the car. ● On Sept. 16, 1940, the first peacetime draft in the history of the United States is imposed. Registration of men between the ages of 21 and 36 began exactly one month later. There were some 20 million eligible young men -- 50 percent were rejected in the first year for health reasons or illiteracy. ● On Sept. 12, 1953, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy, the future 35th president of the United States, marries Jacqueline Bouvier in Newport, R.I. Seven years later, the couple would become the youngest president and first lady in American history. ● On Sept. 15, 1978, boxer Muhammad Ali defeats Leon Spinks at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans to win the world heavyweight boxing title for the third time in his career, the first fighter ever to do so. Ali left the sport permanently in 1981. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

MARTHA’S VINEYARD

A quaint, beautiful island in the northern Atlantic off the coat of Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard is one of the United States’ most relaxing vacation getaways. Listed below are the aspects that make the island unlike any other. • The world-famous island regularly hosts a variety of occasions, including weddings, honeymoons, corporate events, executive retreats, etc. Some residents live on the island seasonally, others, year round. • The island provides sandy beaches, clay cliffs, bird-watching excursions, elegant dining destinations, great shopping and attractions. • Martha’s Vineyard actually prides itself on the uniqueness of its dining experiences — There are no chain restaurants. • The northern part of the island is covered in hills and boulders, while the southern part is mostly sandy beaches. • Many artists live on the island, creating and then selling their hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces. • Vacationers or residents reach the island via ferry or airplane, as there are no tunnels or bridges linked to the island. There are more than 100 lodging destinations, ranging anywhere from cozy cottages to campgrounds to swanky luxury resorts. • Although the oceans around the island are freezing with large waves and dangerous undertows, the island offers many harbors with warmer water. • Martha’s Vineyard is referred to as “Noepe” by the American Indians, which means “Land amid the streams.” • It is believed that Martha’s Vineyard was discovered in the year 1000 by explorers called the Northmen, who named the island Vineland. When Verranazo stumbled upon the island in 1524, he named it Claudia, honoring the mother of France’s Francis II. • The first explorer to give the island its current name was Bartholomew Gosnold, who also discovered and named Cape Cod. While lost in the Atlantic, he stumbled upon a smaller island outside of Martha’s Vineyard and gave this island the name. The next day, he discovered the larger island and after exploring, switched the names and titled the smaller island No Man’s Land. Martha’s Vineyard came from his mother, Martha. • The first school on Martha’s Vineyard was established in 1651 to teach native Indians who were willing to learn. • Martha’s Vineyard was considered part of New York until 1692. • At one point in its history during the mid 1800s, after generations and generations, Martha’s Vineyard had such a high deaf population that the residents developed their own sing language, Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL). • In 1911, the Colonial Inn opened, thus sparking its transformation into a vacationer’s paradise. • Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster hit “Jaws” was filmed on the island in 1974. • When famous actor John Belushi died in 1982, he was buried on Martha’s Vineyard in the town of Chilmark. Many residents and vacationers visit his grave to pay their respects. • Long-term island residents tend to be affluent, as the cost of living on the island is about 60 percent higher than that of the United States mainland, and the cost of real estate is a striking 95 percent higher. In 2010, the island’s population was 16,535. • In 2011, Martha’s Vineyard celebrated its 100th year of being a supreme vacation destination spot in the United States.

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22 Excuses, excuses, Cancer. You’ve delivered too many. Time to pull up your bootstraps and get a move on! A new face brings a fresh perspective to an old dilemma.

January 20– February 18 An appeal goes out. Help only if you can, Aquarius. You don’t have to save the day every time. A humorous incident gets people talking.

July 23– August 22

Throw caution to the wind this week, Capricorn, and take no prisoners. There is nothing beyond your reach. Whispers kick the gossip mill into high gear.

A relationship strengthens with an admission. Ill feelings give way to wishes of good will, and all is right with the world once again, Leo.

August 23– September 22

February 19– March 20 Tests in patience abound, and you must keep a lid on it. A charity comes calling. Don’t hesitate to lend a hand, Pisces. Your services are sorely in need.

What goes around comes around, Virgo, so be careful what steps you take. A mission in organization comes to a complete halt with a discovery.

March 21– April 19 Perfection will come but at a great cost, Aries. Perhaps you don’t have to do it all alone. A green project reaps many rewards in your bottom line and otherwise.

September 23– October 22 All kidding aside, Libra. You need to make good on a promise. Bail out now, and you will lose out on an opportunity. Amazing things happen at work.

April 20– May 20 Lean times call for major cutbacks in entertainment, but all is not lost, Taurus. There is much free fun to be had. You manage to pull off the impossible at work.

October 23– November 21 It is what it is, Scorpio. Stop trying to twist the truth and see the situation for what it is. It is a mess, but that’s to be expected, and it will get straightened out over time.

May 21– June 21 A friend’s loopiness catches you off guard. No need to worry, Gemini. Their head may not be in the right place, but their heart is. A great charade begins.

November 22– December 21 Oh dear, Sagittarius. You’re a popular person this week, and your services are in high demand. Commit to what you can feasibly take on, and leave the rest.

CLEANING OUT THE GARAGE

Having dedicated some ink to antiquing and pawn shops, Tidbits explores another of our major methods of retail “recycling” — the garage sale. Every single weekend, individual mini-entrepreneurs open their garages and yards to sell used (and occasionally new) items from their homes to bargain hunters from their neighborhoods and beyond. Here are some interesting bits about this popular underground economy. • Most of us think of garage (or yard) sales as a series of decentralized, unconnected, weekend family “stores” set up in the front yard, and for the most part, they are. However, every year, right before Labor Day weekend, there is a garage sale that stretches from Maryland to California. • This past May celebrated the 13th annual “Great US 50 Yard Sale.” This celebration was held May 18-20 this year. • The event includes a loose collection of ● Monday $5 burger 11-8 businesses and towns baskets along US Highway ● Tuesday $6.99 tacos 11-8 50. Highway 50 is one of the longest $4.00 11-8 It stretches highways inwell theMargaritas United States. Thursday, $5 Dozen Wings 4-9 pm from● Ocean City, Maryland, to Sacramento, ● Sunday All Day Happy Hour! California, over 3,073 miles! A 1997 article ● Allmagazine Games Indeclared High Definition TVS in Time it the “backbone of America.” • Though the Great US 50 Yard Sale isn’t formally organized nationwide, its organizers have coordinated steadily with counties all along the route who have given their support. This support has grown steadily every year, with media outlets picking up the story. Although official numbers were too numerous and difficult to tabulate, one writer covering the story found over 75 yard sales in just one 25-mile stretch of highway. • Organized garage sales like the Great US 50 Yard Sale aren’t the sole province of the United States. In fact, other countries have approached them from a unique perspective. • Calling itself the “World’s Longest Yardsale,” The 127 Corridor Sale stretches from Addison, Michigan, to Gadsden, Alabama, over 690 miles. Yet that’s not even half the distance of the Great US 50 Yard Sale. • While the descriptor “World’s Longest” may not be wholly accurate, this sale is highly organized, with headquarters in Jamestown, Tennessee. The 2012 event took place August 2-5. • One popular celebration in Bondi, Australia, organized 126 different yard sales for its “Garage Sale Trail.” The idea was the brainchild of a company named “Republic of Everyone” as part of a larger competition to come up with innovative ways to recycle. • The Garage Sale Trail was a big success. In addition to connecting 126 different sales, it was estimated that nearly $100,000 of goods changed hands. It was the equivalent of 15 metal shipping containers (each housing about 1,600 cubic feet) full of stuff that would’ve otherwise ended up in a landfill. • The sale was one of the prize ideas generated by the “Green Globes” competition. • In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, competition judge Nicolette Boele says, “What I loved about this was the hosting of an event…where you could bring so many elements of the community to celebrate and re-use. The whole trash and treasure thing has many more outcomes and benefits for sustainability than was perhaps intended. It may have started out as a big garage sale, but it turned out to be so much more.”

Rodent Woes

Q: Late one night last week, my husband jumped up and said he’d seen a mouse scurry under one of the kitchen cabinets. I put a sticky trap down near the cabinet he mentioned, but haven’t caught a mouse yet. Any ideas? -- Sherry in Salem, N.H. A: Mice can be pretty good at avoiding certain traps, which, as you’ve found, is pretty frustrating. And if your husband has seen one, there’s bound to be more -- especially at this time of year, as wild creatures begin to look for places to hunker down for the winter. If you have a professional pest-control service that visits routinely (twice per year, at least), be sure to mention the possible infestation. The service person likely will put down more traps and ask you to call them if a mouse is caught. Meantime, look for signs of mouse infestation. You likely will find their droppings in areas of the kitchen where humans don’t spend a lot of time, such as the corners of lower kitchen cabinets. You may see gnawedon areas of the lower walls, baseboards or cabinets, or the sawdust remainders of such gnawing. House mice also have a musky odor; if you notice this in a particular area of the house, a nest may be nearby. Sticky traps, or glue traps, are cost effective and quick to set up -- you simply peel back the plastic covering and set the trap face up against a wall in an area where mouse activity is indicated or has been noticed. You also can try the more traditional “snap trap,” which can stay in place longer and be reused. Set more traps than you think you’ll need, but make sure that they’re out of reach of pets and children. Bait traps with favorite mice items like a tiny bit of cheese or a dot of peanut butter. Another method is poisoned bait. This is sold in several forms, but one less accessible method is to purchase sealed pellets. These are poison pellets inside a sealed container that you place inside the wall or in a location pets can’t reach but mice can. The mice chew through the container to eat the pellet. To further reduce a mouse infestation, clean out cabinets that contain food items as well as your pantry. Inspect containers for evidence of gnawing or other access by mice, and discard affected containers. Place grains and flour in glass or food-grade plastic containers. Store boxed items off the floor and away from known mice access points. Locate and seal holes in your home’s walls, exterior and interior, that are larger than 1/4 inch. For holes that can’t or should not be sealed (like soffit air vents), make sure that screens and similar barriers are in place and in good repair. HOME TIP: Have a large gap around a pipe or a hole that you don’t have time to seal up? Tuck a piece of steel wool into the gap and tack in place with a bit of caulk.

● “Before I pluck my eyebrows, I rub on a bit of my granddaughter’s teething gel. She’s done teething and doesn’t need it anymore, but it works well for me. Be very careful to apply, let dry and wash your hands before touching your eye any further!” -- M.L. in California ● When microwaving items of different sizes, arrange the largest parts toward the outside of the plate for more even cooking. 725 North Center Point Rd., Hiawatha, IA 319-365-6901

● Lemon juice mixed with coarse salt makes an inexpensive copper cleaner. ● “When going fishing and you are only bringing a couple of lures, use an old, empty pill container. It holds them well, and you won’t be poked.” -- D.B. in Minnesota ● When figuring the cost of moving yourself versus using a service, be sure to consider the cost of your time and your health. And be certain that you are able to drive the moving van if you rent a large truck. ● If you don’t keep a lot of food in your freezer, why not fill large gallon-size zipper-top bags with ice cubes?
