TIDBITS® EXAMINES

FINGERPRINTS by Janet Spencer On November 2, 1904, the use of fingerprints began in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas, and the St. Louis Police Department. They were assisted by a Sergeant from Scotland Yard who had been on duty at the St. Louis World's Fair Exposition guarding the British display. Shortly afterwards, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) created America's first national fingerprint repository, called the National Bureau of Criminal Identification. Come along with Tidbits as we examine fingerprints!

FINGERPRINT FACTS • In some cultures criminals were identified by amputating an ear or finger, or by blinding an eye or cutting the tongue. Egyptians extracted teeth of criminals for ID purposes, and in medieval Europe they were branded like cattle— a practice that continued in China until 1905. Today we identify criminals through fingerprints.

FINGERPRINTS (continued): There may be 300 ridges on the skin between fingertips and wrist. There are millions of sweat pores between the ridges, which exude a nearly invisible mixture that's 99% water and 1% fatty acid. Everything you touch is covered with this residue. The water will evaporate, but the fat remains. Fingerprints are still intact and readable on ancient mummies.

• In ancient China, emperors used thumbprints to sign state papers. Artists used fingerprints on pictures instead of signatures. But the fact that every human being carries a signature on their fingertips wasn't put to use in police work until William Herschel became interested in 1860. At that time, he was working for the British government in India. He handled the payment

of pensions to retired people. But frequently one person would collect his money, and then later someone using the same name would show up to collect it again. Herschel couldn't keep track of the many people he dealt with— so he started having everyone sign for their money with a thumbprint. The fraud stopped immediately, but it was decades before fingerprints came

into play where crime solving was concerned. • In 1892 a detective was called to a scene where two young children had been murdered. The mother accused an old man who lived nearby. He proclaimed his innocence. The policeman found a bloody handprint on the door. He called the old man to the scene, and had him place an inked handprint on a piece of paper. The prints didn't match. Next he had the mother of the children do the same— and the prints matched. She had murdered her own kids because the man she loved wouldn't marry her as long as she had children. This is the first recorded instance of fingerprints being used to solve a crime. • Scotland Yard began using fingerprint evidence in 1901. Since then, fingerprint evidence has solved innumerable crimes. • For many decades, each police department kept its own collection of fingerprints on file. Any police department with a suspicious person in custody sent copies of fingerprints to each police department individually, and each police department searched

For Advertising Information Call 954-667-3237 through their files manually. It was a time-consuming and inefficient process. Congress established the FBI’s Identification Division in 1924 to be the central repository for all fingerprint records. Now known as the Criminal Justice Information Services Division, the bureau employs around 3,000 people and is the largest branch of the FBI. Currently the FBI has over 234 million fingerprints on file representing over 81 million people. Of the millions of sets of fingerprints in FBI files, none have ever been found to match. • In 1999, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) went into operation. IAFIS stores over 51 million digital prints and compares them within minutes, pulling up a list of potential matches along with their criminal histories. State and local law enforcement agencies transmit fingerprint information to the system electronically, and get identification within a few hours.

FINDING FINGERPRINTS • There are several methods of finding fingerprints. One of the most common methods is called iodine fuming. In the late 1800s it was found that iodine fumes, when they come into contact with body fats and oils, will react with them in a way that makes them visible. To accomplish this, iodine crystals are put into a beaker and heated, which produces a purple gas. • When an object thought to have fingerprints on it is held over iodine vapor, the vapor crystalizes where it comes into contact with fats and oils, defining the lines of the print. The print is then photographed, and

specialized filters on the camera will make the print even more visible. Iodine fuming is good at lifting prints from rubber gloves. • Another method used silver nitrate and ninhydrin as dusting powders. Ninhydrin reacts to the amino acids in human sweat, causing them to become visible. Silver nitrate combines with trace amounts of body salts to form sodium chloride. The print can then be lifted with a sticky tape, and then photographed. Ninhydrin and silver nitrate, used together, can reveal prints left on porous surfaces such as paper or wood. • A third method involves the use of superglue. In the early 1980s a British policeman was using superglue to repair a cracked film-processing tank in a darkroom, He noticed that the glue fumes enhanced the fingerprints that were on the side of the tank. This was brought to the attention of forensic scientists, and in 1982 the superglue fuming method of lifting fingerprints was first used. Similar to the iodine fuming method, the superglue is heated in a glass beaker and the object placed in the rising vapors. The gas condenses and sticks to the body oils and makes the pattern visible. Dyes are then used to make the pattern stand out even more. Superglue fuming reveals prints left on tin foil, rubberbands, Styrofoam, and various plastic products. • Today, digital scanners capture an image of the fingerprint. To create a digital fingerprint, a person places a finger on an optical reader. The reader converts the information into digital data. The computer then searches for similar patterns in the database.

Famous Canadians

BRIAN DALRYMPLE

• The very first fingerprint identified and utilized in a criminal case using this technology was located on the sticky side of a piece of black electrical tape in a drug case. This was the beginning of a revolution in the forensic identification field.

• Brian E. Dalrymple was born in Toronto in 1947. He got his baccalaureate in 1970 from Ontario College of Art. In 1972 Dalrymple joined the Forensic Identiﬁcation Services of the Ontario Provincial Police as a forensic analyst, beginning a 28-year career with the agency.

• Today, portable lasers are sometimes taken to crime scenes to help with ﬁngerprint evidence. This technology is now in global use and has provided crucial evidence in hundreds of major investigations.

• In 1977 he began collaborating with a couple guys at the Xerox Research Centre named Duff and Menzel, experimenting with lasers. It bothered them that every time they turned the lasers on, the laser beam would illuminate every single ﬁngerprint in the area, fouling up their experiments. Finally someone suggested that maybe this discovery could be useful in crime detection.

• As a result of his efforts, the Ontario Provincial Police became the ﬁrst police agency in the world to be operational in this technology. After another decade of research, Dalrymple perfected the art of applying computer enhancement technology to sharpen images, once again placing the Ontario Provincial Police as Canadian leaders in forensic science.

• Fine-tuning their discovery, the team found that shining an argon ion laser on latent fingerprints would cause them to fluorescence, making them highly visible. The laser light bounces off the human fat and perspiration in the fingerprint which glow fluorescent yellow. The laser beam was a non-destructive method that also allowed the more traditional methods of fingerprint identification to proceed normally.

• In 1991, as Associate Section Head, he introduced the first Computer Evidence System to Canada, and became the first Canadian to offer expert advice in this technology. He was promoted to Manager of Forensic Identification Services in 1992.

• Additionally, they found that the goggles that all laser operators are required to wear while working with a laser beam effectively blocked certain wavelengths of light, which made the fingerprint stand out even more. Further research by Dalrymple showed that if a fingerprint were stained with particular chemicals, it would cause an even greater degree of fluorescence when the laser light was beamed upon it. Together, these developments proved to be so effective that fingerprints that were otherwise invisible using standard methods could now easily be revealed using these techniques.

• Brian Dalrymple retired from the Ontario Provincial Police in 1999 and now runs a private firm dedicated to consultation and training in identification services. He specializes not only in fingerprints, but also in shoe prints, foot prints, and forensic photography, helping solve homicides, drug crimes, fraud, and deter organized crime.

• He perfected methods on examining murder victims for ﬁngerprints left on their skin.

• Brian Dalrymple is the author of numerous publications and the recipient of several prestigious awards. Without his work, many a criminal would still be roaming the streets.

FINGERPRINT FOIBLES • In 1941 a Texas cop stopped to question a hitchhiker. When asked to show his ID, he said he had lost it. The officer noticed his fingertips looked odd. The officer took him in for questioning. After being fingerprinted, the police were fascinated to find he had no fingerprints whatsoever. The man said he was born like that. Police had their doubts and detained him while they consulted the FBI. The FBI instructed police to search the man's body for scars. On each side of his ribcage there were five oval scars. When he held his arms folded across his chest, his fingers fit perfectly over the scars. A crooked doctor had removed the

skin from his fingertips, then cut out small patches of skin from his chest. His arms were folded across his chest and his fingertips taped over the wounded skin. When new skin grew from his sides, it adhered to his fingertips in a natural skin graft. Alerted, police sent photos of the man across the nation. He was identified as a specialist in safe blowing, wanted for three jobs. • In Miami in 1990, police arrested a suspect who was thought to be a drug dealer. Upon fingerprinting him, they found his fingerprints running in all sorts of crazy zig zag patterns. It was like nothing they had ever seen before.

Tommy Moorefield, an FBI expert on fingerprints, examined the fingerprints and concluded that the man had sliced the skin on his fingertips into tiny pieces and then transplanted those pieces onto other fingers. After the fingertips healed, his new fingerprints ran in all directions. Moorefield took photographs of the fingerprints and cut them into small pieces, then began fitting them together like a jigsaw puzzle. Before long he was able to match the reassembled fingerprints to a fugitive connected to another drug case. The suspect was convicted • In Binghamton, NY, police had to wait awhile before they were able to fingerprint suspect Lane Fontes. Fontes was arrested after leaving the scene of an accident and, while

sitting in the back of the police car, he chewed the skin off the tips of his fingers. This made police suspicious and they held him in custody for two weeks while the fingerprints grew back. Sure enough, they discovered that he was wanted for parole violations in Virginia. • In 1975 Larry Collins walked into a bank in New Jersey with a sawedoff shot gun. After swiping over $3,000 he was on his way out of the bank when the gun went off accidentally, striking him in the hand. He yanked off his glove to inspect the damage and threw it on the floor before running out. When police inspected the discarded glove, they found the tip of his finger inside. They got a fingerprint from it and shortly had the robber in custody.

• In 1994 in Mendota Heights, MN, John Wuchko robbed a store. He was careful not to leave ﬁngerprints at the scene, because he wore surgical rubber gloves. However, as he ﬂed the scene, he stripped off the gloves and discarded them. Police recovered one, turned it inside out, and lifted a perfect print. • In Egypt, a burglar broke into a woman's house. When she awoke to see a man bending over her, she began to scream. He put

his hand over her mouth, but his hand slipped and a finger went inside her mouth. The lady bit down— taking the tip of the finger completely off. The burglar fled. She took the fingertip to the police, who matched the print to a known burglar. They shortly had in custody a man who was missing the end of his finger. He argued that losing the tip of his finger was punishment enough and he shouldn't have to go to jail, but he did anyway.

Q: I recently moved into a house in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the former owner left behind an early television set. Although I understand most TV sets aren’t all that valuable, this one might be an exception. According to the sticker on the back of the set, it is a GE Model 800 tabletop. — Rob, Shreveport, Louisiana A: Your set with Bakelite case was made in 1949. According to the “Antique Trader Radio & Television Price Guide” edited by Kyle Husﬂoen and published by Krause Books, it is worth about $300. It could be worth a little more, since early televisions have suddenly caught the attention of a growing number of collectors. ***

In the book, Formsma stresses that giving doesn't have to come in large monetary sums or involve a huge effort; in actuality, small actions also can lead to a more generous lifestyle. And it's not age-speciﬁc -- you don't have to be an adult to enjoy the satisfaction of giving, which Formsma calls "a powerful force."

"I Like Giving" by Brad Formsma (WaterBrook Press, $14.99) Reviewed by Chris Richcreek Truth be told, as books go, "I Like Giving" might make you throw up. In a good way, if such a thing exists. The reason is that author Brad Formsma and his family have become so attuned to giving, seemingly always looking to help others in ways both big and small, that it is just short of amazing, challenging and, yes, somewhat sickening. The subtitle of the book is "The Transforming Power of a Generous Life." And although the book is generally tailored toward Christians, the idea of giving is not religion-speciﬁc. In fact, social scientists Drs. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton found in their research that asking people to spend money on others, be it through charity or by buying gifts for a family member or friend, makes them happier than spending the money on themselves.

And before you think Formsma and his family are on a giving mountain too high for mortal man to attain, take comfort in the fact that in the book he shares the inspirational stories of numerous other people who have given, have invested in the lives of others and been blessed by it. As Formsma says, "[Giving] connects us to other people, brings us joy and increases our well-being." And in a world that seems engulfed by self-centeredness, who couldn't use more of that? Even if it does make you a little nauseous at times. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Spaghetti squash is used differently. It was given its name because of its spaghetti-like interior. Once cooked, use a fork to peel away the ﬂesh from the skin to form long strands like spaghetti. You can serve it with any type of pasta sauce, in the same way you would serve spaghetti noodles. My recipe for Butternut Squash and Brown Rice Pilaf uses squash in a flavorful way that showcases its sweetness and pairs beautifully with the nutty brown rice. It's the perfect fall side dish!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BROWN RICE PILAF This is a great side dish for a simple fall meal ... or as a new Thanksgiving tradition! It's delicious either hot or at room temperature.

Fall in Love With Winter Squash Winter squash are prominently displayed at grocery stores during the fall and winter months, but many shoppers pass them by because they don't know how to prepare them. I used to look at the hard exteriors of the squash and move on because I had no idea what to do with them. Winter squash actually are easy to prepare and a healthy addition to any meal. They're a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and ﬁber. One-half cup of cooked winter squash has only 40 calories. Winter squash is picked when it is fully mature and has a thick, inedible skin. This thick skin provides a protective covering for the squash and allows for a long storage life. Winter squash can be stored for three months or longer in a cool, dry place, preferably in a single layer. Three of the most common winter squash are butternut, spaghetti and acorn squash. Butternut squash is tan in color and has a long, bell-like shape. Spaghetti squash is oblong or oval in shape and yellow in color. Acorn squash gets its name because it is actually shaped like an acorn. It is dark green in color and has a ridged rind or skin. When shopping, look for squash that are heavy for their size, free of soft spots and have a dull sheen (a shiny skin is an indicator the squash is not fully mature).

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, halved and seeded 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons margarine 1 large red onion, ﬁnely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 large stalks celery, diced 1 large bell pepper, seeded, ribs removed and diced 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 cups instant or parboiled brown rice 1 cup water 1 (14-ounce) vegetable broth 2 green onions, root end removed, white part and green stalk, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1/2 tablespoon dried sage

1. Grate the squash through the large holes of a box grater or in a food processor. 2. Heat oil and margarine in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly colored, 5 minutes. Add celery, bell pepper, tomato paste, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, stirring for 3 to 5 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat. Add squash, in batches if necessary, and stir until it has reduced in volume enough so that you can cover the pan. 3. Increase heat to medium-high, pour in water and broth, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until rice has absorbed most of the liquid and squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

All winter squash bake well. Cut the squash in two, scoop out the seeds and brush the cut surface with oil. Place the cut side down in a baking dish with 1/4 cup of water. Bake uncovered at 350 F until the flesh is soft. The hard shell of the squash can be difficult to cut in two, so be sure to use a sharp, heavy-duty knife.

4. Add green onions, oregano and sage; gently stir to combine. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 8.

All types of winter squash can be baked in the same way, but not prepared the same. Once butternut or acorn squash is cooked and cooled, it can be peeled away from the skin, cut into cubes and used in soups, stews and casseroles along with other vegetables. Butternut and acorn squash can be used interchangeably in recipes.

HOLLYWOOD -- Matthew McConaughey passed on the sequel to "Magic Mike," opting instead to shoot "Sea of Trees" in Massachusetts and Japan, with Ken Watanabe and Naomi Watts. Shooting on "Magic Mike XXL" has begun in Florida with returning cast members Tatum Channing, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Adam Rodriguez (in his eighth season of "CSI: Miami") and Gabriel (Fluffy) Iglesias. Also added to the sequel are Andie MacDowell, Amber Heard (Johnny Depp's lady), Jada Pinkett Smith and "Kelly and Michael" host Michael Strahan. This time the male strippers take a road trip from Tampa to Myrtle Beach for a convention. *** Neil Patrick Harris, currently starring in "Gone Girl" with Ben Afﬂeck, is about to become a triple threat. Having hosted the Tony and the Emmy awards, he has been passed the baton by Ellen DeGeneres to host the upcoming Oscar awards. Ads for the Feb. 22 broadcast, on ABC, are selling for $1.9 million per 30-second spot, and they're almost sold out. Most hosts take half a year to prepare for the job, so Neil will be heard, not seen, in his next ﬁlm, the 3-D computer-animated comedy "The Good Dinosaur," with John Lithgow, Frances McDormand and Bill Hader. It comes out Nov. 25. *** Jay Leno may be gone as host of "The Tonight Show," but he's not forgotten. Jay recently received this year's "Mark Twain Prize," which Carol Burnett won last year, and was honored by Jerry Seinfeld, Wanda Sykes, Garth Brooks, Kevin Eubanks, Chelsea Handler and Jimmy Fallon, who presented him with the prize. Seinfeld remarked in his tribute to Jay, "There's no one more deserving to get this wonderful award obviously, than Jay. No one except -- and I really don't want to sound bitter here -- except maybe me? I mean, come on." Yada yada! The award show airs Sunday, Nov. 23, on PBS.

Q: I read in your column that "The Mentalist" would be renewed. When is it going to return? It's one of my favorite shows. -- Sissy U., via email A: "The Mentalist" will be back for a seventh and final season on CBS, but not until midseason 2015, and only for 13 episodes. If you need to catch up on any episodes, seasons one through six are now available on DVD for your viewing pleasure. *** Q: I am so distraught that "Parks and Recreation" hasn't premiered its new season yet. I thought you said it had been renewed! -- Kallie F., via email A: NBC's hit sitcom has been renewed. And, like "The Mentalist" mentioned above, this will be its seventh and ﬁnal season, which will consist of 13 episodes and premiere midseason 2015. Leslie Knope and company have not left us dangling, and will be back to tie up any loose ends.

Jesse Ventura *** Q: Can you tell me what Jesse Ventura has been up to? I miss watching him on his previous show, "Conspiracy Theory." -- Stanley G., Omaha, Neb. A: Gov. Ventura is still in the public eye, but not on network TV. He has his own Internet show called "Off the Grid," which is ﬁlmed from his home in Mexico. It can be seen on his YouTube channel and ora.tv. A big selling point for Jesse is that he can talk about whatever the heck he wants on his new show; he told me: "That's one of the reasons I think 'Conspiracy Theory' got canceled after only three seasons, because in many ways, we were going where they didn't want us to go, and we were ask-

The governor hopes to help change the mindset of people who blindly follow what the government tells us, and to pick up where his generation failed, in his words. "I lived through the '60s, through the hippie generation, and through Vietnam, when I truly thought change was in the wind and that we were the same way. Our generation was questioning authority, much like the New Millennium young people are doing today. I'm encouraging them to stay the course. Don't drop the ball like my generation did. I'm hoping to help correct that by keeping them on track. I want to be the Timothy Leary of this generation. I want to be the older guy that this generation turns to in order to learn the truth. That's kind of what I'm working to do." Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475; or e-mail her at letters@cindyelavsky.com.

percent. Medical care services went up 1.7 percent. The net loss of those dollars is in our current buying power. The loss will be made worse down the road because of compounding. Dollars we don't get now can't be compounded in years to come. Seniors League has a calculator to determine the long-lasting impact of this low COLA. Go to seniorsleague.org and enter your ﬁgures. It will show you the dollar loss over time.

SOCIAL SECURITY COLA INCREASE: 1.7 PERCENT You've likely heard that our Social Security increase for 2015 will be only 1.7 percent. Last year, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 1.5 percent, so it's a small improvement. But here is how that translates into real money: The average monthly increase will be $20. Here are a few items from the Bureau of Labor Statistics chart: During 2014, food went up 3 percent. (Of that, beef has gone up 17.8 percent since January. Dairy has gone up 10 times in the past 11 months. All meats, poultry, ﬁsh and eggs have increased 9.4 percent this year.) Utilities went up 3.5 percent. Medical care commodities went up 2.9

COLA became mandatory in 1975. The yearly increase or decrease is based on the Consumer Price Index, which includes food, shelter, doctor and dentists, drugs and other day-to-day goods and services, with ﬁgures collected every month in 87 urban areas. Since 2010, the increase has averaged 1.4 percent per year. In two recent years it didn't increase at all. If this low COLA for 2015 keeps you from being able to quit work, remember that you can earn $15,720 before it starts taking $1 out of your beneﬁts for every $2 you earn. If you're ready to turn 66 next year, that earning limit will be $41,880 before it takes $1 for every $3 you earn.

'WHITE-COAT SYNDROME' OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? DEAR DR. ROACH: My 21-year-old son is a college athlete, a sprinter, but he has had recurrent high systolic blood pressure readings since he was a senior in high school. He's generally easygoing and not stressed. Doc-

Byproduct of Eating Animal Products Leads to Heart Failure A compound produced in the gut when the body digests meat may lead to heart failure, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

He's never had any reason to be nervous in a doctor's ofﬁce, and the initial high reading was with the same pediatrician he'd been seeing all his life. Once, a nurse had him rest quietly for a few minutes and rechecked the reading; it was lower, but still high. He just ﬁnished four months of rigorous basic training with the Army with no problems (his high reading on his physical was put down to nervousness), and he may now be anxious no matter where or when the reading is taken, but I'm worried that something else may be going on. Is there something we should have checked? -- K.C.

pertension. The best way of answering this is with a 24-hour blood-pressure monitor, which checks the blood pressure every 15-30 minutes while awake, and less frequently at night. If those readings are mostly in the normal range, we could conclude that he has reactive, or white-coat, hypertension. However, it is possible that he has hypertension. Healthy young people sometimes get hypertension, and he may be able to get his blood pressure down without medication, through salt reduction and relaxation techniques. But if he needs them, there are medications that will not affect his athletic abilities.

These ﬁndings will allow clinicians to make dietary recommendations to both prevent and treat heart disease.

The lacto-ovo vegetarian group lost an average of 6.3 percentage points.

The same researchers published ﬁndings related to TMAO and heart disease last year.

A Vegan Diet Proves Most Effective for Weight Loss

For ﬁve years, researchers followed 720 patients who had previously been treated for heart failure. Those with the highest levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in their blood had a 3.4-fold increase risk of dying, compared with those with the lowest levels.

A vegan diet leads to the most weight loss, compared with other dietary patterns, according to a new study in the journal Nutrition. Sixty-three overweight adult study participants were assigned to one of ﬁve different dietary patterns for a six-month period: omnivorous, semi-vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, and vegan.

The body produces this chemical when it digests certain foods, including organ meats, red meat, and eggs. The presence of TMAO in the blood may also indicate

At the end of the study, the vegan group lost, on average, more than twice the percentage of body weight (7.5 percent), compared with omnivores (3.1 percent), semi-vegetarians (3.2

The vegan group also had the greatest reductions in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol and greatest increase in dietary ﬁber intake—all protective against chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

speak in a soothing voice. The kitten should quickly make the connection that this is where you want it to go. A couple of quick tips: scoop the litter box daily and change it weekly. Neither you nor your cat will like a smelly litter box. If the kitten's habits change -- it uses the litter box, then suddenly stops using it and eliminates around the house -- take it straight to the vet to make sure it's not sick.

I can't wait, but I wonder if it will be hard to house train the kitten? -- Sara, via email DEAR SARA: Compared to house training puppies, kittens usually are very easy to train. Cats instinctively use the bathroom in speciﬁc ways -- burying their poop, for example -- because in the wild, it hides their scent from potential predators. The ﬁrst time you bring the kitten home, let it explore the house a bit (supervised at all times). Then carry the kitten to the litter box and place it into it. If the kitten pees or poops elsewhere in the house, don't scold it. As soon as it happens, carry the kitten to the litter box, gently place the kitten in it and

Be sure to take your kitten to the vet as soon as you get it -- ideally on the same day -- for its ﬁrst checkup. That way you'll have a healthy, happy kitten that you can provide with the best care for a long life. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Would the time and effort involved in repairing the shutters be more than the cost of replacement?

Q: My mother's house has wooden louver shutters that have stayed open on either side of the windows outside the house for years and years. Many of them are in disrepair. Are they worth saving, or should I replace them? -- Jim H., Gardner, Mass. A: The decision to repair or replace the shutters is ultimately yours. But there are some factors you can consider as you make that decision. • How many shutters are on the house? You would likely need to replace all of them if you're refreshing the exterior.

• Consider what it will take to remove each shutter, the amount of repair needed, the hours it will take to accomplish the repair and the cost of the supplies needed to fix them. If you decide to replace the shutters, count how many you'll need. To save money you might consider just replacing the most heavily damaged with matching or near-matching shutters and then finish replacing the rest when it's more convenient. The risk you run, of course, is not being able to purchase the same shutters later. Find the manufacturer name and details about the shutter (like dimensions), if possible. In newer shutters the information may be found on a sticker or tag on the inside frame edge. If there is no information, measure the height and width of the shutter. You should also measure the shutters on the second floor and any additional floors or attic windows, if the house has them, as the dimensions may vary. Then, order the shutters you'll need along with new hardware.

If you decide to repair the shutters, determine which are the most damaged, which need no repair and which need some repair or just touch-ups or repainting. Schedule a few hours each day or weekend to remove one set of shutters at a time and repair them. Here's the link to a video that details how to repair damaged exterior wooden shutters: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/video/0,,1632408,00.html As the video points out, often the joints of the shutters separate, causing the louvers to slip out of place. Here's another video that shows how a decorative shutter with minor wood rot is repaired in place: http://www.todayshomeowner.com/video/how-to-repair-exterior-wood-shutters/. If louvers are badly damaged or rotted, you should be able to ﬁnd replacements in the same dimensions at your home-improvement store. HOME TIP: Exterior shutters need little maintenance if they're in good shape. Brush away debris and dirt when needed, and keep shrubs and other plants trimmed back.

8 Ways to Save on a Low Income Trying to save on a limited income can be tough, but it's not impossible. What's required is the determination to succeed at saving. Here are some ideas for getting started.

• Make holiday gift giving for the kids only this year. Let the adults in your circle of family and friends know that you'll be limiting the gifts you buy. Chances are they will be relieved.

• Use your tax refund next year to buy savings bonds, up to a limit of $5,000 per year. The Series I bonds can be purchased with some or all of your refund. You'll need to ﬁle a Form 8888, Allocation of Refund (Including Bond Purchases). This needs to be done in $50 increments. Years down the road when you cash in your bonds, you'll need to pay taxes on the interest. The term of ownership is a minimum of one year, so be

sure your emergency fund is in place before you commit all of your refund. If you redeem the bonds before ﬁve years, you forfeit the three most recent months of interest. The beneﬁt of having money tucked away in savings bonds is that you can't access it on a whim. • Ask for reductions in costs for cable, auto insurance and other payments. Chances are they'd rather work with you than lose you as a customer. Put the extra money into savings. • Buy second-hand where you can. Careful shopping can get you nearly new clothing and small appliances at Salvation Army or Goodwill stores. Put the extra money into savings. • Consider taking a temporary part-time job. Retail (especially during the holiday season) is a good place to start. • Don't let yourself get hungry. Sounds odd, but the truth is that if you're away from home, you're more likely to cave in and venture into a restaurant. The same goes for grocery shopping: Eat before you go to keep from succumbing to the temptations on every aisle. • If you have extra room in your house, consider using AirBnB as a way to rent out space to visitors for a few days. Price your space lower than local hotels and save the money. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

2. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Place them ﬂat side down, and cut into thin long slices, about 1/4-inch-thick. Place the thinly sliced pieces on their side and cut additional thin slices, making sure they are all uniform in thickness.

What's the skinny? There's skinny this and skinny that -- as in skinny jeans and skinny latte -- so I couldn't resist calling my family's favorite new version of roasted sweet potatoes, "Skinny Sweet Potato Fries." It happened at the kitchen counter recently when a basketful of the tuberous root from our local farmer's market inspired me. Instead of cutting the sweet potatoes in wedges like I've always done for roasting autumn vegetables, I slimmed the slices and turned them into a new experience as a tasty side, a unique fall appetizer or just a healthy snack. Sweet potatoes have a rich, nutty and sweet ﬂavor, and they're full of good-for-you beta carotene, antioxidants and ﬁber. Transformed into these fries, the vegetable is mouthwatering, delicious and fun for dipping with good old ketchup or mustard.

3. Place the cut potatoes in a single layer on a nonstick or parchment-lined rimmed cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss well. Bake for 15 minutes, rotate sheet and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender. Serve hot. Serves 4.

Serving idea: --Season the fries before baking with any number of herbs and spices such as thyme, parsley, cumin, chili powder or smoked paprika. *** Donna Erickson's award-winning series "Donna's Day" is airing on public television nationwide.
