BAD DOGS
by Janet Spencer A lot has been said about hero dogs – but not all of them are heroes! Let’s take a look: • When Haroldo Renato Mota of Sao Paulo, Brazil let his dog out one day in February of 2002, he knew there was a high likelihood that the dog would return carrying something he had found - a stick, a bone, a piece of trash. But the dog, a black and white mixed breed named Chumbinho, came back carrying something Mota didn’t recognize. He told the dog to drop it. Mota recognized it all right- a rusty hand grenade. He called police; police called the bomb squad; and the bomb squad detonated the grenade safely.

• Mark and Lara Tomlinson live in South Africa with their kids and their dog Digger. Digger is well named, perpetually burying and unbury bones. One day in February of 2002 when Digger began to dig industriously underneath the children’s playhouse, Mark became curious when another neighborhood dog, a puppy named Jack, joined in the excavation. Going to see what they were so interested in, he found to his alarm that the two dogs had uncovered a bomb. Police removed the 60mm mortar bomb left over from World War II. The playhouse had been built the previous April. “Never did we think that we were building it on top of a bomb,” said Lara. turn the page for more! WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

• Stinky, a six-year-old mongrel, enjoyed going hunting with his master, 30-year-old Kelly Russell near their New Zealand home. In December of 2000, Stinky, Russell, and another dog named Red were out hunting wild pigs. When Russell cornered a pig, he set down his rifle to pick up his knife and, in the ensuing chaos, Stinky jumped on the gun. “There was a big bang and my leg went flying back,” recalled Russell. The blast tore right through his foot. Unable to walk or drive and barely able to crawl, Russell endured a five-hour wait before someone came along who could help him. At the Waikato hospital, doctors were unable to save his foot. Stinky went home, unaware of the trouble he had caused, and Russell said he didn’t blame Stinky for the accident. Russell was charged with hunting illegally in an exotic forest. He collected $10,000 (New Zealand dollars) from the state-run insurance company for the accident, and was fined only $500 for illegal hunting.

• In 1998 when Rachel Murray of Britain wanted to get a Christmas gift for her roommate, she decided to get him a cell phone. She wrapped it and left it under the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, her dog, a bloodhound named Charlie, enjoyed tearing the package apart while he was bored and unsupervised. Finding the mess but not the phone, Murray dialed the number, hoping to hear it ring. She heard it ringing - a muffled ringing, coming from inside Charlie’s stomach. “At first I though Charlie was lying on the phone - then I realized where it was. I couldn’t believe he’d swallowed it. I sat there in disbelief.” The vet advised her to let nature take its course, and 24 hours later, the phone emerged. The Orange Nokia was in perfect working order.

• In the year 2000 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Mark Meltz bought his fiancée Hillary Feinberg a lovely wedding ring. On the day before their wedding, he set the ring on the kitchen counter where he’d be sure to see it and remember to give it to the best man. That evening while walking his year-and-a-half old lab, Liza, he noticed the dog was coughing and hacking a lot, but he didn’t think anything of it- until he was unable to find the ring on the morning of the wedding day. Suspecting that the cat had knocked it off the counter and the dog had swallowed it, he rushed the dog to Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, where vet Kathleen Wirth took an X-ray and confirmed his fears. At the wedding at 4:00 that afternoon, Hillary Feinberg presented Mark Meltz with a wedding band, and Mark Meltz presented Hillary Feinberg with an X-ray. The congregation burst into laughter. Meltz’s father stood watch over the dog waiting for the ring to reappear while the couple went on their Hawaiian honeymoon. • Garbage collector Glen Shaw operates a trash collection service in New Hampshire. He occasionally allowed his large Newfoundland dog named Bear to come along for the ride. But at 4:30a.m. on December 20, 2001, Shaw got out of the 10-wheeled compactor truck to load some garbage in the back. Bear somehow released the hand brake somehow, and the truck began to roll slowly forward. Shaw ran after the runaway garbage truck but was unable to catch it as it gained momentum, rolling down the road. It plunged into the Souhegan River, and Shaw plunged into the water in order to rescue the dog. The dog turned out to be fine, but it took a hazardous material team many hours to clean up the mess.

• In Oklahoma, the Dodson family left their three-month-old puppy in the utility room when they went out. They returned to find their home a pile of rubble. The pup somehow flipped the gas line switch, filling the room with natural gas. When the water heater kicked on, the gas exploded. The pup was hurled clear of the explosion, unharmed. • Lyle Sneary and his dog Rancher were driving in a truck making the rounds of his Oklahoma cattle herd. Noticing a cow was down, Sneary got out of the truck, while the dog stayed inside. Sneary fed the cow hay out of the back of his truck. Seeing that dinner was being served, the rest of the cattle herd stampeded towards him. He began screaming to head off the herd, which caused Rancher to get excited inside the truck. The dog hit the automatic door lock. Then he knocked the gear shift into neutral. Seeing the truck rolling, Sneary jumped on the sideboard, trying to reach inside the window. He was unable to stop the truck and bailed out right before the rig hit a tree. Sneary and his dog had to walk a mile and a half to call for help. The officer who responded revoked Rancher’s license. • Michael Staley and Jenna Lee Fetters left their black lab tied to an outdoor water spigot at their apartment in Montana while they went out. The dog pulled so hard on its leash that the spigot broke. The broken pipe flooded the apartment. The property manager entered the home using his pass key to shut off the water. Not only did he find the emergency water shut-off valve in the basement, but he also found 21 six-foot marijuana plants under cultivation in the basement. Police lieutenant Jim Neumayer was still searching the basement when Staley and Fetters returned. They were arrested on the spot. Well-phrased signs: On a fence: "Salesmen welcome, dog food is expensive." In a veterinarian's waiting room: "Be back in 5 minutes. Sit Stay"

I'll share with you what my biggest New Year's resolution is going to be. I resolve to become less serious this year. To this end, I'm going to: --Turn off the television completely at least one day a week. The news is rarely good, and the commercials are increasingly about drugs for serious diseases. If I need to know what the weather will be like tomorrow or the next day, the Weather Channel will let me know without also filling my head with all the more serious news of the day. --Read humorous authors. To name a few, Rita M. Brown, Fanny Flagg and Garrison Keillor come to mind. The librarian will be able to suggest others, I'm sure. --Revisit the books of my childhood and see if I still love them. "The Boxcar Children," a few Nancy Drew mysteries and "Huckleberry Finn" are on my list. --Subscribe online to a joke a day. They'll come by email, and they're promised to be suitable for everyone. I'll even take a few elephant jokes. (Remember those?) --Order pizza (or something similar) delivered to my house once a month. No, it's not on my diet, but that's the point. On that day I won't cook or do dishes after dinner. --Revive my stamp collection. No, I won't spend a lot of money on it, but there are a few stamps that could fill in some blanks on the pages. It'll be relaxing to flip through the pages, attend the monthly stamp and coin show, and talk to people who are in love with stamps. Who knows ... I might get to like this less-serious lifestyle. Want to join me? Start making your list! Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

Emma Carpenter, born in Wisconsin in 1853, moved to Montana with her family in 1864. Emma married a lawyer named George Cowan when she was 22. In 1872, Yellowstone became the world’s first national park. Emma and George decided to travel to the area to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary. At that time, Yellowstone was a wilderness area with only rough wagon trails. An expedition was mounted, consisting of Emma and George, several friends, and Emma’s older brother and younger sister. • It took several days of travel to reach the park. Along the way they heard disturbing news of Indian warfare. The Nez Perce tribe had been unceremoniously evicted from their tribal lands in Idaho by white settlers. They preferred to flee to Canada rather than settle on reservation lands. The army was summoned to force the tribe into subjugation. • Emma didn’t fear the Indians, and the trip went forward. They marveled at the geysers they found in Yellowstone. But then they encountered the Nez Perce Indians, who asked them for supplies. George refused to help them, and was rude. Emma advised him to hold his tongue. When one member of their party started to give the Indians some food, George angrily stopped the exchange. Finally, several warriors told them that they were officially being held hostage, but that they could earn their freedom by exchanging their fresh horses for the Indian’s worn-out horses. When George objected– against the advice of his wife– one of the warriors shot him. It was their second wedding anniversary, and Emma watched her husband fall. • Emma rushed to his side, finding he’d been shot in the leg. Another Indian shot him in the head. In the confusion, several members of the party escaped, while Emma, her sister, and her brother were taken prisoner. After traveling with the tribe for several days, a tribal council was held. The elders decided to let them go, giving them a few supplies. • They soon ran into soldiers, who gave them provisions and went to find George’s body. Instead, they found George. After being shot twice, he blacked out. When he regained consciousness, he began crawling down the trail. A Nez Perce warrior found him and shot him a third time, this time striking him in the hip. Yet still he did not die. • When he was found, his rescuers gave him food and supplies, built him a fire, and went to get help. The campfire spread while he was sleeping, burning him badly– so now he had three bullet holes and third degree burns. When Emma received news of his survival, she took a carriage to meet him. The horses spooked while going around a hairpin turn and the carriage overturned, dumping George into a deep ravine. When George finally arrived in the town of Bozeman, a doctor was summoned. The moment the doctor sat on George’s bed, the bed collapsed to the ground. Emma said, “This sudden and unexpected fall, in his enfeebled state, nearly finished him.” • Emma nursed him back to health. They later had three children together. Emma’s brother wrote a book about their experiences. George died in 1926 at the age of 84, and Emma died in 1938, aged 85. The Nez Perce tribe were captured just a few miles short of the Canadian border, and spent the next eight years on a reservation in Oklahoma before being allowed to return to Idaho.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was iconic pop artist Andy Warhol who made the following observation: "Employees make the best dates. You don't have to pick them up, and they're always tax deductible." ● At one time in Alabama, it was illegal to wear a false mustache to church. ● You might be surprised to learn that the man who was the lead designer for the original GI Joe action figure also designed the inaugural medal for the John F. Kennedy-Lyndon Johnson administration. ● If you're an arachnophobe, it you probably don't want to know that a tarantula can live for up to two years without eating a thing.

Happy New Year! While the holidays might not quite be over, planning for post-holiday cleanup can help combat the winter blues and keep you from being that one house on the block that has a holiday wreath hanging on the door until July. Here are a few tips that might help holiday cleanup go a little easier: --If you have a real tree, check with your local government to find out if and when there is tree pickup and disposal in your area. Otherwise, look for a tree disposal service nearby. Remove and pack away all the tree ornaments and decorations. The night before scheduled disposal or pickup, prep the tree. If the disposal service wants it in a tree bag, put the bag over the tree and cover the tree fully while it's still in its stand. With a helper holding the tree in place, loosen the trunk from the stand and carefully lift away. Drain excess water from the stand into a sink, dry and store for next year. --When removing the tree from the stand, don't set the trunk down on the carpet or floor, as sap will create a sticky mess. Don't use the tree as firewood: It's not seasoned and the branches may have been pre-treated at the tree lot with chemicals to prevent insects. --Use a shop vac to vacuum up pine needles, tinsel and other small debris from where the tree once sat. --Put used wrapping paper into the recycling bin -- don't burn it in the fireplace. --Tree sap on tile or wood floors, or on protective cloths, can be cleaned with warm water and soap. Sap on the carpet should be dabbed with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol until the sap comes up. --Take down outdoor Christmas lights and decorations in clear weather. Work with a partner and use a sturdy ladder for lights on the roof eaves. Some DIYers replace burnt bulbs when they take down the lights, but I usually don't, as I often have to replace burned or broken bulbs next holiday season anyway. Wrap the strands around a piece of cardboard to keep them from tangling, and store in a dry, cool place until next year. HOME TIP: "To clean up tinsel stuck in the carpet, I put my grandkids to work by having them put on thick socks, stick folded-over duct tape all along the bottoms, and scoot around the floor! It works great! -- Mary B., Watertown, Mass. Send your questions or comments to ask@ thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

● "Save egg cartons for children's painting palettes. It's very easy to give kids a small amount of many colors, and when they are each in their own cup, they don't get spread out and run together as quickly. Plus, they are easy to carry." -- O.L. in Utah ● Remove price-tag residue off hard surfaces with hairspray. Or WD40 works well too.

● "A beautiful but stained or worn tablecloth can find a new life at your dinner table. Cut into napkin sizes, and give any frayable ends a hemming." -A.S. in Oregon ● Here's a great winter tip that's double purpose: After your dishwasher has done its job, open the door and let the dishes air dry rather than machine dry. You'll save on energy, while you add warmth and humidity to your home's air.

TOILET MUSEUMS
They’ve got museums dedicated to everything else on earth, so why not toilets too? • In India, the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets in New Delhi exhibits all manner of potties. The museum follows the history of toilets dating back to 2,500 B.C. Find out about the first electric chamber pot, which pre-warmed the seat. See the medieval portapotty shaped like a treasure chest. There’s the French commode disguised as a stack of books, each carrying the title of a literary classic. (Lift the lid by opening up the volume on top.) You’ll find a replica of King Louis XIII’s throne, who had a commode installed under his throne so he didn’t need to be take bathroom breaks. Also displayed are modern toilets such as the microwave toilet which incinerates waste without using any water. If you want to find out about the technology, social customs, or etiquette of the toilet, this is the place for you. • Curators at the Gladstone Pottery Museum in England opened an exhibit described as a “celebration of the toilet” in 2001. The area surrounding the museum has historically been a hub of pottery and ceramics, and many of the world’s toilet manufacturers are based in the area, making it the perfect spot for a museum exhibit dedicated to the cause. The exhibit, called “Flushed with Pride,” honors Thomas Crapper, a real-life plumber who improved the design of several parts of the toilet but did not actually invent it. There are seven gallery rooms displaying over 150 objects related to the toilet. It begins with a realistically re-created pit toilet from an 1840s tenement slum, shared with realistically recreated pigs, complete with realistically recreated odors formed by combining various noxious chemicals. • The Gladstone Pottery Museum’s display of pre-sewer system toilets is billed as “an immersive theatrical experience.” Visitors climb into a sewer pipe to view a video showing modern sanitary engineers doing their work. There’s a hands-on interactive gallery which traces the development of the toilet with visitors invited to do some flushing of their own. The collection of Victorian toilets is billed as the most complete showcase of historic toilets on earth. There’s also a gallery devoted to the development of the bathroom, including the story of how color was introduced to bathroom fixtures. A highlight is the avocado bathroom suite displaying green porcelain first used in the 1960s. Wanna know how astronauts go to the bathroom? Find out in an exhibit devoted to telling how people accomplish the feat in extreme environments. Finally, toilets of the future are considered. Waterless toilets? Composting potties? Toilets that check waste products to identify health problems? The possibilities are discussed in detail. • In Wisconsin, the Madison Museum of Bathroom Tissue displayed a collection of toilet paper from the time it opened in 1992 until it closed in 2000. Nearly 3,000 different rolls collected from restrooms all over the world were shown, including TP swiped from such notable places as Ellis Island, Caesar’s Palace, the Alamo, and Graceland. Proudly presented were the “roll of the week” as well as a complete history of T.P. from leaves to Sears catalog to Charmin. There was the European Collection, the African Shelf, and the Mexican Display. The museum is now closed. The paperwork is in storage, awaiting a new home.

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past them. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian. The children fell to discussing the dog’s duties. “They use him to keep crowds back,” said one youngster. “No, he’s just for good luck,” said another. A third child brought the argument to a close. “They use the dogs,” she said firmly, “to find the fire hydrant.”
