TIDBITS® DOES THE

CHA-CHA by Kathy Wolfe Tidbits is doing the cha-cha this week! We’re not just looking at that dance and a couple of others, we’re exploring all kinds of other words that begin with cha-. • Cha-cha music was ﬁrst introduced in 1953 by a Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin. A French dance teacher Pierre Zurcher-Margolie visited Cuba to study their dance methods and devised the ballroom dance he dubbed the cha-cha.

• The chaconne began as a lively spirited street dance in 16th-century Spain, but gradually transitioned into a slow majestic dance performed by courtesans by the 18th century.

• The chasse dance movement consists of quick gliding steps with the same foot always leading. It’s commonly seen in line dancing, ice dancing, ballet, and in the ballroom.

• Don’t confuse challis with chalice. Challis is a light clothing fabric of wool, cotton, or rayon, which usually has a printed design, while a chalice is a goblet most frequently used to hold drink in a religious ceremony, for example, the wine used in Communion.

It usually forms underwater on the sea bed from the gradual accumulation of tiny calcite plates and marine organisms. England’s White Cliffs of Dover are the most famous deposit of chalk, although large quantities are also found in Denmark. Today’s blackboard chalk used in classrooms is actually a manufactured substance made from gypsum, which is calcium sulfate. Some chalk is formed from talc, which is magnesium silicate.

CHA-CHA (continued):

To some, it’s a community of 11,000 inhabitants in France’s Chantilly Forest, 24 miles (38 km) northeast of Paris. To others, it refers to the handmade bobbin lace made there beginning in the 1600s. This intricate lace is made from silk with complex ﬂower patterns woven from continuous silk thread. For hundreds of years, the fabric was usually black and often used for mourning wear, as well as shawls, veils, and umbrella covers. In 1958, J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson released the chart-topping song “Chantilly Lace,” which spent 22 weeks in the Top 40 and became the third most-played song of that year. The following year, the 28-year-old Bopper was tragically killed along with Buddy Holly in a plane crash while on a new tour. • Geoffrey Chaucer is widely known as the Father of English Literature, and is considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages. He is best known for The Canterbury Tales, a collection of 24 tales about a group of pilgrims traveling together from Southwark to Canterbury Cathedral. The tales were more than just stories – they represented a satirical picture of English society and the Church of England. In addition to his literary achieve-

ments, Chaucer was also a philosopher, alchemist, astronomer, and diplomat. Upon his death in 1400, he became the first poet to be interred in the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey. • If you’re having trouble sleeping, try brewing a cup of Anthemis nobilis, more commonly known as chamomile. It’s known to fight insomnia and act as a muscle relaxant. And just as Peter Rabbit’s mother gave him chamomile tea because he wasn’t feeling well, many claim that it eases a stomach ache. Some mothers put it in a baby’s bottle to reduce gum inflammation during teething. Others use it in cream form to relieve the pain of bug bites. However, chamomile is not for those allergic to ragweed, as the two are from the same plant family. • In 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain happened onto a lake situated near the present-day border between Canada and the United States, spanning across Vermont, New York, and Quebec. Lake Champlain is about 400 feet (120 m) deep and was used as a water passage between the St. Lawrence and Hudson Valleys. Samuel de Champlain claimed that he saw a monster in the lake 5 feet (1.5 m) long, “as thick as a man’s thigh, with silver-gray scales a

dagger could not penetrate.” The explorer wrote that the monster had 2.5-ft. (0.76 m) jaws with sharp and dangerous teeth. His story is backed up by claims of the Native Americans in the area. The monster tale has found its way into the naming of sports teams and mascots, most notably, the Vermont Lake Monsters and their mascot Champ, that state’s minor league baseball team. • During medieval times, knights protected the front of their war horse’s head with special armor, some which added hinged cheek plates. This armor was known as chamfron.

• World-renowned fashion designer Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel came from very humble beginnings, born to a peddler and a laundress in 1883. When her mother died 12 years later, Chanel’s father put her and her two sisters into an orphanage run by nuns. They never saw him again. During her six years in the orphanage, Coco was taught to sew, a skill that shaped the remainder of her life. Before her clothing career, she was a nightclub singer, but in 1910, financed by her current love interest, she opened her first shop in Paris. In the 1920s, she introduced the legendary Chanel suit and the timeless “little black dress” as well as her signature Chanel No. 5 perfume. By 1935, her company had over 4,000 employees. TIME magazine has included Coco Chanel on their list of “The 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century,” the only fashion designer to receive this honor. • There are about 22,000 species of chalcid wasps, but entomologist estimate there may be anywhere from 60,000 to 500,000 more species of this insect that are yet to be discovered. The tiny 3-mm chalcids are a friend to the gardener, acting as a natural method of controlling garden pests such as aphids and cutworms.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: PATRICIA BATH Although the name Patricia Bath is not well-known, her invention has provided sight to thousands of people around the world. Tidbits’ focus this week is on this brilliant ophthalmologist who was a pioneer in cataract surgery. • Patricia Bath was raised in Harlem by her father, an immigrant from Trinidad, and mother, who was a domestic worker. Her father, a part-time newspaper columnist and former merchant marine, was also the first African-American man to work as a motorman for the New York City subway system. Her mother saved her salary for her children’s education, and gave Patricia her first interest in science when she bought her a chemistry set. • Patricia became interested in medicine after studying the life of Dr. Albert Schweitzer and his ministry to lepers in the Congo. At age 16, she had already been invited to attend a cancer research workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation. • After graduating high school in just twoand-a-half years and receiving the National Science Foundation’s scholarship, she went on to a degree in chemistry followed by a medical degree, completing her residency in ophthalmology, the branch of medicine concerned with eye diseases and conditions. She was the first African-American to complete a residency in ophthalmology. • While involved in a fellowship at Columbia University, Patricia worked in the area of corneal transplants and keratoprosthesis, a procedure that replaces the human cornea with an artificial one.

• While working at Columbia, Patricia noticed that African-Americans seemed twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other ethnicities she was caring for, as well as eight times more likely to develop glaucoma. Concluding that this was due to the lack of access to good medical care, Patricia Bath developed a community ophthalmology system for those unable to afford treatment. • A move to California brought her to a faculty position at the University of California as professor of surgery and ophthalmology, as well as a position at the UCLA Medical Center as the ﬁrst African-American woman surgeon. In 1977, she co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, an organization devoted to “protect, preserve, and restore the gift of sight.” • In 1981, Patricia began working on her famous invention, the Laserphaco Probe, and after years of research and testing, she received a patent for this device which uses a laser to vaporize cataracts through a 1-millimeter insertion into the patient’s eye. This enables the patient’s own lens to be removed and a replacement lens inserted in a nearly painless procedure. Her invention gave sight to individuals who had been blind for decades. • Patricia Bath is the ﬁrst African-American female doctor to receive a medical patent. She continued work on the Laserphaco Probe and received additional patents on its innovations. In 2000, she was granted an additional patent for a method she developed for the use of ultrasound technology in the treatment of cataracts. Now in her 70s, Patricia continues to pursue her lifelong passion – the prevention, treatment, and cure of blindness.

Dumbo Cookie Jar Q: During the 1940s, I received a Dumbo cookie jar. I still have it and wonder if it has any value. -- Lynda, Grand Junction, Colorado A: Dumbo is one of my favorite Disney characters. In the 1941 film, a circus elephant was born with ears so big that both he and his mother became objects of humiliation. The film was a major success, and its score by Oliver Wallace and Frank Churchill won an Academy Award. In all of the years that I have prowled antique shops and malls, I have never seen a Dumbo cookie jar. I did find it referenced in "The Official Price Guide to Disney Collectibles" by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles. According to Hake, your cookie jar is valued in the $65 to $250 range depending on condition. *** Q: While digging in an old trash dump in Ohio, I found several dozen bottles. The one that has me stumped is an old soda pop bottle for Triple AAA root beer. I have never heard of it

MORE CHA-CHA • The color chartreuse, a pale apple green halfway between green and yellow was named after a French liqueur made by Carthusian monks. This Roman Catholic religious order was founded by Saint Bruno in 1084 in the Chartreuse Mountains near present-day Grenoble, France, The monks began making the pale green liqueur in 1737 from distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbs, plants, and flowers, and it is still manufactured in their distillery today. Crayola added chartreuse to its box of crayons for the first time in 1972. • The fine wines of France are named for the region where they are produced. Chablis, which is a very dry white Burgundy wine, is produced near Chablis in north central France. The region’s cool climate produces a wine with more acidity and a less fruity flavor. Chablis is usually fermented in stainless steel tanks rather than oak casks. Chardonnay, from the Burgundy wine region of eastern France, is a greenskinned grape variety used to make a white wine with a more fruity taste of plum, citrus, and pear. The sparkling white wine champagne, is produced

A: I found your bottle referenced in "Petretti's Soda Pop Collectibles Price Guide," published by Krause. Allan Petretti is one of the foremost authorities in this field of collecting.

Incidentally, the company's slogan was "Makes Thirst a Joy." *** Q: In my mother's estate is a coin collection, including an 1883 silver coin that has a face of a lady with a decorative vine of flowers.

in Champagne in northeastern France. The rules of making champagne call for a second fermentation of the wine in the bottle which creates the carbonation. This is accomplished by adding additional yeast and rock sugar. A minimum of a year and a half is necessary to completely develop its ﬂavor. • “Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga ChooChoo?” These are the opening words of the 1941 gold record recorded by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. Featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade, the song was No. 1 on the Billboard charts for nine weeks, including on December 7, the day Pearl Harbor was bombed. The song is the story of a train traveling from New York City to Chattanooga. It was nominated for an Academy Award that year for Best Song. • The name Chattanooga comes from the Native American language, translating “rock coming to a point,” which refers to nearby Lookout Mountain, an unusual rock formation. Tennessee’s fourth-largest city, Chattanooga was the site of three signiﬁcant Civil War battles – the Battle of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Lookout Mountain. • The legendary pioneer Johnny Appleseed was born John Chapman in Massachusetts in 1774.

Chapman was an eccentric person who frequently traveled barefoot, dressed in cast-off clothing, as he introduced apple trees in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and West Virginia. Although our image of Johnny Appleseed is one of him randomly scattering seeds wherever he went, he actually planted them in nurseries, constructing fences around the area as protection from animals. He entrusted the nurseries to neighbors, revisiting the area every two years to check on it. The world’s only Johnny Appleseed Museum is located at Ohio’s Urbana University, which claims to have a tree believed to have been planted by Chapman. However, an Ohio farm family also claims to have the only surviving tree on their property.

Mystery Bruise Appears, Vanishes As If by Magic DEAR DR. ROACH: I have just returned from seeing my doctor, and was told that the cause of what I experienced is a mystery! In the late afternoon, my husband and I were sitting at the kitchen table. He noticed that a bruise was forming on my right temple -- a dime-size purple mark, with a bump near the hairline. Over the next few hours the bruise grew larger, with red discoloration down the right side of my face, to the jaw. I had not been injured in any way, and it did not hurt! I called a 24-hour advice nurse, and was told I probably had broken a blood vessel. The next day, I called my doctor for an appointment, just to be on the safe side, but my doctor didn't have anything to look at. When I got up, all the bruising and discoloration was gone! She told me that there would still be some discoloration if it had been a broken blood vessel, so therefore it was a mystery. -- C.C. ANSWER: I agree with the nurse that it likely was a broken blood vessel, which can happen spontaneously to anyone. Once the blood is under the skin, it gets cleaned away by cells with enzymes that break down the blood. The color typically goes from dark red to green to yellow. This way, we can tell approximately how old a bruise is.

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: Are men less likely to wash their hands after using the bathroom (for any reason) than women? Are there any studies providing statistics? I "preach" hand-washing as the single greatest preventive for most illness. -- L.P. ANSWER: If you can think of it, it's probably been studied. In 2003, a study at a university found that after using the washroom, women washed their hands with soap and water 61 percent of the time, and men 37 percent of the time. Placing a reminder sign increased the rate to 97 percent of women, but only 35 percent of men washed their hands with the reminder, although 53 percent rinsed their hands without soap. Keeping hands clean reduces infection transmission to yourself and to others. Unfortunately, too often even doctors forget to wash our hands (only 65 percent of the time, in several studies). Our nursing colleagues are better at washing their hands. Many hospitals, including mine, have policies in place to improve hand-washing compliance. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

These ﬁndings support other studies that show avoiding healthful carbs and consuming more animal products increases the risk for dying.

“Healthy Obesity” is a Myth The idea of obesity without health concerns is largely a ﬁction, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Researchers followed 2,521 healthy obese adults and found they were eight times more likely to develop chronic diseases over time, compared with non-obese individuals. The authors conclude that obese individuals will very likely experience an eventual deterioration in health. Bell AJ, Hamer M, Sabi S, Singh-Manoux A, Batty GD, Kivimaki M. The natural course of healthy obesity over 20 years. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2015;65:101-102.

Low-Carb Dieting Takes Another Blow People who consume more whole grains live longer, according to a new study from Harvard. Researchers analyzed the diets and mortality of more than 118,000 men and women from both the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and found that, after an average of 25 years follow-up, more whole-grain intake was associated with lower death rates and that every whole-grain serving was associated with a 5 percent lower risk for death in general and a 9 percent lower risk for death from heart disease. Whole grains, for this study, were defined as the whole grain (whole wheat, oats, brown rice, etc.) as well as its pulverized flour form (whole-wheat flour, oat flour, brown rice flour, etc.), which may be found in products such as breads and cereals. The benefits were independent of other lifestyle factors, including exercise and other dietary choices.

New Review Finds Dairy Products Linked to Prostate Cancer High intakes of dairy products increase the risk for prostate cancer, according to a new meta-analysis in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers analyzed data from 32 different studies and found total dairy product, total milk, low-fat milk, cheese, and dietary calcium intakes were incrementally associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer. The Physicians Health Study, tracking 21,660 participants for 28 years, found an increased risk of prostate cancer for those who consumed ≥ 2.5 servings of dairy products per day, compared with those who consumed ≤ 0.5 servings a day.

"SHARON TATE: RECOLLECTION" by Debra Tate, with a foreword by Roman Polanski (Running Press, $30) Reviewed by Larry Cox British actress Deborah Kerr said that Sharon Tate had "real talent" and predicted she would become a "big star." Oscar-winner Yul Brynner recalled that "Sharon had a fragile, incandescent quality that brought oxygen into the room." Patty Duke, Tate's co-star in "Valley of the Dolls," remembered that being in Sharon's presence was like "being enveloped in grace. Her inner beauty superseded her outer beauty, if you can imagine. Once in a while she would catch me staring at her in awe." Life is full of questions about what might have been. No one knows what the 26-year-old actress, model and sex symbol eventually could have achieved if she had not been brutally murdered by members of the Charles Manson family one hot summer night in August 1969. Debra Tate was just 16 when her famous sister and the unborn child she was carrying were slaughtered in the Beverly Hills home Sharon shared with director Roman

Polanski. Also killed were three friends: Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger and Wojciech Frykowsky. Debra, who is based in Southern California and has spent most of her life advocating for victims' rights and counseling victims of violent crimes, has compiled a remarkable book documenting Sharon's life and career. Hundreds of images, some never before published, from the Tate private collection, are featured in the coffee-table book, along with quotes and essays from those who worked with her and knew her best. As Polanski points out in his foreword, "The book is a tribute to Sharon, to her beauty, to her spirit, to her talent, to the pleasure her presence gave to everyone who knew her." He adds that it is, of course, "impossible" to imagine what might have been if Sharon had lived." Indeed. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Who scored a big international hit with "Apache"? 3. Which singer-songwriter gave us the easy-listening "If You Could Read My Mind"?

2. Jorgen Ingmann, in 1961. 3. Gordon Lightfoot, in 1970. In a horrible music decision, the beautiful song was turned into a disco dance number by Viola Wills in 1980. 4. Eric Clapton, in 1974.

4. "461 Ocean Boulevard" was an album title for which artist? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: "You packed in the morning and I stared out the window and I struggled for something to say, You left in the rain without closing the door, I didn't stand in your way."

5. "Just When I Needed You Most," by Randy VanWarmer, 1979. VanWarmer wrote the song after a breakup and knew it was good, but the recording company wasn't especially impressed, wanting to make it the B-side to another single. Instead the song shot to the top of the adult contemporary charts, hit No. 4 on the Hot 100 and made a respectable showing on even the country chart. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

More Than Skin Deep "What is that?" This is what someone is sure to ask you at the checkout counter when you load your Jerusalem Artichoke, better known as a Sunchoke, on the conveyor. You'll proudly do a little promotional pitch for the vegetable. "You should try them. They're delicious! Like a cross between an artichoke heart and a potato." Like many tubers, sunchokes look a little strange. But when it comes to food, looks often can be deceiving. A sunchoke is the tasty, knobby root of a sunflower. Until recently, this native of North America was more popular in Europe than in the United States. The sunchoke is a hardy perennial that can grow in a variety of conditions, and is not frost tender. With water shortages and the growing cost of agriculture, farmers were looking for ecologically sustainable crops, and the sunchoke fit their needs. Sunchokes now are being grown both commercially and by home gardeners. Many small organic farms also are successfully growing sunchokes, so look for them at farm stands and farmers' markets (they resemble a ginger root). The crop does have its downside: It has a tendency to grow wild, and can be invasive, presenting challenges for farmers and backyard gardeners alike. As a healthy addition to our diet, sunchokes are a low-glycemic food, and possess a significant amount of protein. They also are rich in inulin, a natural fructose type of carbohydrate. Inulin is thought to be better tolerated by those with Type 2 diabetes. When shopping for sunchokes, look for firm, brown-colored tubers. If they're beginning to darken, they're not fresh. After you get them home, store in paper towels in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Don't wash your sunchokes until you're ready to use them, as moisture can lead to spoiling. Sunchokes have a thin skin and don't need to be peeled. Sunchokes are extremely versatile. You can use them in the same way you typically use a potato. They have a crunchy texture and are delicious raw. When roasted, their nutty flavor comes out. Steamed sunchokes can stand alone or mixed with other vegetables or to make a delicious soup. If you're using sunchokes in a creamed soup or puree and want to remove the peel for presentation color, pass them through a food mill or a fine mesh strainer.

This recipe for Sunchoke Chips With Parmesan and Parsley is a delicious alternative to potato chips.

ZESTY SUNCHOKE CHIPS • • • • •

2 pounds unpeeled sunchokes (also called Jerusalem artichokes), scrubbed Vegetable oil (for frying) 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (for vegans, substitute with Go Veggie Grated Parmesan Style Topping) 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

1. Fill a large bowl with cold water. Slice sunchokes into thin rounds (about 1/16 inch thick), immediately dropping into bowl of water to prevent browning. Rinse and drain 3 times to remove some of the starch for a crisper chip. Pat dry with paper towels. 2. Pour enough oil into large deep skillet to reach depth of 1/2 inch. Submerge bulb of deep-fry thermometer into oil; lean top of thermometer against skillet rim. Heat oil to 375 F. Mix salt, Parmesan and parsley together in small bowl, blending well, and set aside. 3. Working in batches, fry sunchoke slices until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a skimmer, transfer chips to a wire rack placed over a paper-lined baking pan to drain. While chips are hot, sprinkle with the Parmesan and salt mixture. The chips won't be crispy immediately out of the fryer, so wait a few minutes for them to crisp up. Mound chips in bowl and serve. Serves 8. To bake the chips: 1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line two baking sheets with foil and lightly grease with cooking-oil spray. Place slices in a single layer on the two sheets. Spray each slice with oil, then sprinkle salt on top. 2. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. If they aren't golden brown and crisp, bake in 3 to 5 minute increments until done. Sprinkle with topping of your choice. Alternate toppings: For protein boost and enhanced “cheese” ﬂavor: sprinkle chips with 1/2 cup nutritional yeast

HOLLYWOOD -- George Clooney isn't just resting on the laurels of his wife, Amal, being chosen as Barbara Walters' most interesting person of 2014. In addition to "Tomorrowland," in which he co-stars with Hugh Laurie and Tim McGraw, out May 22, he is busy producing (with partner Grant Heslor), the comedy "Our Brand Is Crisis," starring Sandra Bullock and Billy Bob Thornton. It's a remake of a 2005 documentary of the same name, about the American political campaign strategies used by Greenberg Carville Shrum in the 2002 Bolivian presidential campaign. Clooney currently is working as an actor for Joel and Ethan Coen in "Hail, Caesar!," which they wrote and are producing, directing and editing. Josh Brolin plays real-life MGM executive Eddie Mannix, who was the studio fix-it man in the 1950s, and is trying to find out what happened to a cast member who disappeared during filming. Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill and, of course, Francis McDormand add their star power to the comedy, set for February 2016 release. *** James Bond has switched vodka brands. In "Spectre" (the recently hacked film script and the 24th Bond film), 007 will be asking for a Belvedere martini, not Smirnoff, "Shaken not stirred." In return, Belvedere will launch the largest ad campaign ever waged for a film. Smirnoff has been the British spy's vodka of choice since the first Bond film, "Dr. No," in 1962. "American Idol" also is changing drinks. After 13 years, Coca-Cola is cutting ties with the show. Is that like rats deserting a sinking ship? Just asking!

George Clooney

*** Bradley Cooper has proven once again what a great actor he is. The handsome Cooper has hit Broadway as the grotesquely hideous and deformed John Merrick, known as "The Elephant Man," and received the kind of reviews that actors only dream of getting. Marilyn Stasio, in her review for Variety, said, "'The Elephant Man' is breathtakingly beautiful, and Bradley Cooper may well be its most beautiful feature of all." Needless to say, it's one of the must-see shows in New York. And speaking of Broadway, last year we reported that theater marquees there had more movies turned into musicals than original shows. This year, movies turned into musicals are hitting Broadway again. They are "Finding Neverland," "Honeymoon in Vegas," "An American in Paris" and "Doctor Zhivago," proving that great ﬁlms never die, they just get recycled into musicals. *** It's time to leave Hollywood now that "The Walking Dead" are coming to Los Angeles. Zombies have overrun Atlanta (where the TV series ﬁlmed) for four years, now they want to invade other cities. I don't know about you, but given the choice, I'd rather be chased by Godzilla than zombies! (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: Can you tell me when "Game of Thrones" will be back for a new season? -- Bobby T., via email A: The phenomenal drama/historical-fantasy series will be back for its fifth season sometime in April (an exact date has not yet been announced) on HBO. However, you can relive some of season four on the big screen in IMAX format before that. In limited release (about 150 IMAX theaters) beginning Jan. 23, the last two episodes of season four's "Game of Thrones" will be shown the way lots of fans think it should be aired all the time -in movie theaters. Those who do attend these limited showings also will be treated to an exclusive trailer for season five. Check your local listings to see if it will be on the big screen in your town. According to "Entertainment Weekly," there have been reports of a season-five preview special to air on HBO, perhaps as soon as February. Fingers crossed for that too! Q: I keep hearing great things about the FX series "Fargo," but I don't have cable. Is it out on DVD, or is there another way I can watch it? -- Frannie D., Springfield, Illinois A: Season one of this wonderful FX drama/suspense series -- starring Billy Bob Thornton, Colin Hanks, Allison Tolman and Martin Freeman -- is now available on DVD. And Hulu recently announced that it has acquired the streaming rights for the series. No exact date has been announced, but season two will premiere sometime this fall on FX. *** READERS: It's time for a CONTEST. Supernatural-mystery writer Victoria Laurie -- who just so happens to be my favorite author of this particular genre -- has been

Victoria Laurie

kind enough to autograph a copy of her latest book, "When," for one of my lucky readers. Laurie is the author of the Psychic Eye series, as well as the Ghoul Hunter series, and she has just written an entirely new book (which I hope becomes a series) for her youngadult audience. But young adult doesn't mean it's a kiddie book.

"When" is told from the viewpoint of Maddie, a highschool student who, when she looks at someone, sees a series of digits ﬂoating just above his or her brow, with the digits representing the date that person will die. She and her mom, struggling to make ends meet, use her talent to make extra money. Things get scary when a woman comes to ask about her sick daughter. While Maddie has good news about her daughter -- she'll get better and live a long life -- the woman's middle son is a another story. His death date is within days. He soon goes missing, and the FBI thinks Maddie is involved. To enter to win an autographed copy of this book -which hits stores on Jan. 13 -- just answer this question: If Maddie could tell you your death date, would you want to know? There are three ways to enter (and you can do all three): Send a letter to Cindy Elavsky, KFWS, P.O.

The answers: yes and maybe, although more trials need to be run. There were improvements in cholesterol, weight and blood pressure, all indicators for cardiovascular risk. One complication in the research is that there are different types of yoga, each with its own focus or purpose. The one thing any yoga can do is calm the nervous system and reduce stress, and that contributes to heart health.

Yoga for Your Heart It's been known for a long time that yoga improves overall health, but a recent study points to evidence that yoga also helps heart health. Researchers at Harvard University did a review of the literature, meaning they went back through past studies to see if there were any patterns. They screened more than 1,400 studies and winnowed them down to 32. These were examined further to answer the questions: Does yoga help heart health? Is it as good as walking for exercise?

The American Heart Association likes yoga as a means of relaxation and ﬂexibility, increasing muscle tone and circulation, and agrees it could help prevent or improve heart disease. (It cautions, however, that it shouldn't be counted in the 150 minutes of weekly aerobic activity it recommends.) Yoga classes can be expensive. Your best bet is to check the local senior center, and if it doesn't have any classes, encourage the center to start some: maybe one focusing on ﬂexibility and strength, and another on stretching and relaxation, and designed for seniors. Check with a cardiac rehab center for suggestions on yoga classes. Any yoga class you take should be designed for beginners. Here are some ideas to get you started: Ask your doctor before you start yoga, or any other program, to make sure it's right for you, especially if you have cardiovascular risk factors.

• Magazines and newspapers: Allow yourself three of each. When a fourth monthly magazine or daily paper arrives, throw out the oldest one in the stack.

Getting Rid of Clutter Whether you plan to stay in your home forever or sell it and move to smaller accommodations, getting rid of clutter can make your life easier and safer. Here are a few very good reasons to declutter: • Fewer opportunities to trip and fall. Consider what happens when a senior falls and breaks a bone: hospital, rehab and the question of where to go afterward. Can the senior go home and live independently again? Sometimes the answer is no. • Organizing makes things easier to ﬁnd. • Clutter can be dangerous. If emergency services have to come to your house, will they be able to get to you? Or are pathways in rooms too narrow? Taken to an extreme, holding on to too many possessions can be called hoarding, and sometimes social services will step in to deal with it. Your best bet is to declutter long before it gets to that point.

• Keep incoming bills or correspondence in one spot, perhaps a basket or folder on the dining-room table, until you write checks or reply. • Instead of viewing it as an overwhelming task, work on decluttering for an hour a day. Sort clothes you don't wear anymore, tackle stacks of paperwork, make a list of items to give away or donate, such as memorabilia, books or tools. Then arrange for pickup of your donated items. • If things have accumulated on the ﬂoor, start there. • Ask for help if you need assistance with lifting or hauling things away. Decluttering is a process. Expect to have to go through things more than once before you reach your goal.

• On Jan. 27, 1785, the Georgia General Assembly incorporates the University of Georgia, the first state-funded institution of higher learning in the new republic. It wasn't until 1918 that the university began admitting women. • On Feb. 1, 1885, John Taylor, the president of the Mormon Latter-day Saints Church, goes "underground" to avoid arrest and continue resisting federal demands for polygamy. Taylor had at least seven wives. Although the Mormons wanted freedom from outside interference, they also sought the benefits of being a part of the United States. Inevitably, these two goals conflicted. • On Jan. 30, 1920, Toyo Cork Kogyo, a Japanese cork business, is formed. A decade later, the company produced its first vehicle and changed its name to Mazda. The Mazda-Go was a three-wheeled truck that resembled a motorcycle with a cargo-carrier at the back. • On Jan. 31, 1945, Pvt. Eddie Slovik becomes the first American soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion. Slovik was originally classified 4-F because of a prison record, but was reclassified 1-A when draft standards were lowered. In 1944, he was trained to be a rifleman, which was not to his liking, as he hated guns. • On Jan. 28, 1959, the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League sign Vince Lombardi to a five-year contract as the team's coach and general manager. The Brooklyn-born Lombardi played college football at Fordham University as a guard on the offensive line, dubbed the "Seven Blocks of Granite." • On Jan. 29, 1964, Stanley Kubrick's black comic masterpiece "Dr. Strangelove" opens in theaters to both critical and popular acclaim. The movie focused on the actions of a rogue U.S. military officer who believed that communists are threatening the "precious bodily fluids" of Americans. • On Jan. 26, 1980, at the request of President Jimmy Carter, the U.S. Olympic Committee votes to ask the International Olympic Committee to cancel or move the Moscow Olympics in response to the Soviet military invasion of Afghanistan.

• Those who traveled by air over the recent holiday season may sympathize with political satirist Mark Russell, who made the following sage observation: "The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage." • Despite the sound of the word, those who suffer from amusia do not have any impairment of their sense of humor; rather, they're tone deaf -- medically unable to hear or accurately reproduce relative pitch. • When the wildly successful 1965 film "The Sound of Music" was released in South Korea, one theater owner felt that the movie was too long. He took it upon himself to remedy the situation -- by cutting out all the musical numbers. • You may have heard of bridezilla, but what about momzilla? In a survey by David's Bridal, 22 percent of respondents claimed that it was the mother of the bride who caused the most conflict when planning the event, while another 22 percent said that it was the mother of the groom. You might want to take these results with a grain of salt, though, considering the fact that the survey respondents were actually brides themselves. • Even an honest person might have some sympathy for the deceit attempted by a man named Corey Taylor in 2007. He was so desperate to get out of his cellphone contract without paying the high fee that he attempted to fake his own death. Unfortunately for him, it didn't work. • You may be surprised to learn that condoms date back to at least the 1600s. • If you're afraid that peanut butter will stick to the roof of your mouth, you suffer from arachibutyophobia. *** Thought for the Day: "My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start.

Exercise for Fun and Family Health Getting out the door for fresh air and exercise during a cold Minnesota winter is a big challenge. No wonder I'm jealous when my friend in Florida emails cheery news about playing tennis in 74-degree weather. To console me, she offered to share the warmth. In her playful manner she said, "If only the weather could be more evenly distributed across the country -- as if getting a good shake, like an upside-down Etch-a-Sketch, could even things out a bit." She wouldn't even mind sharing some Florida sunshine and warm breezes to help us through these brutal winter days in the Midwest. Come summertime, I could reciprocate the favor. If only ... Whether it's hot or cold, or somewhere quite perfect in between, getting motivated to exercise is always the same. It's the matter of taking those ﬁrst steps.

that in family life, there doesn't have to be a clock or a ﬁnish line.

Here are quick start ideas:

Fun and games. Challenge your family with activities that inspire healthy play both indoors and out. Have a ball playing basketball and football. Make it "tag" or "touch football" for all ages to be part of the workout. When you come indoors, play ping-pong, set up plastic bottles for bowling pins or enjoy a floor hockey competition on the basement carpet.

Give me ﬁve! Get muscles moving for ﬁve easy minutes. Set the timer and arm-wrestle, jump rope or run and up down the stairs. If you lose track of time, remember

Take a walk. Enjoy this year-round exercise anytime of day. At 3 mph, you can burn 112 calories in a half hour. Increase your pace to a jog with older kids for an extra

So, the bottom line is, wherever you live, getting out and getting moving is important all year round, even if you have to wear snowshoes instead of running shoes.

A: I'm not going to judge. I've let far too many paint-laden brushes dry out myself when I got distracted. But you should deﬁnitely try to salvage the brushes and rollers before shelling out money for new paint supplies.

By Samantha Mazzotta

Salvaging Old Paint Brushes Q: Last summer, I repainted the garage. Because I had plans to paint some other rooms, I wrapped up the rollers and brushes in old plastic shopping bags to keep the paint damp. And then ... I forgot about them. This morning while cleaning my workspace, I found them again. The paint has hardened to stone. Can I save the brushes and rollers, or do I need to just buy all new stuff? -- Brad C., Kansas City, Missouri

First, confirm what kind of paint you used in the garage last summer by checking the label on the cans of leftover paint. It most likely was latex-based interior paint, but oil-based paint is still in use. The good news is, latex is the easiest paint to clean up, even when it's been dried on for some time. Don't use solvents like turpentine, alcohol, gasoline or anything else to clean latex, and don't listen to anyone who insists you use these chemicals. To clean latex paint off your brushes and rollers, fill a pail or utility sink with warm, soapy water. (Plain dish soap is fine.) Peel the plastic shopping bags off the brushes and discard them. If pieces of the plastic stick to the rollers or brushes, just leave them on, rather than potentially damaging

the brushes by trying to pry them off. Drop the brushes and rollers into the soapy water and let them sit for at least 20 minutes. Check to see if the dried latex is loosening up, being careful not to bend or tug at the bristles of the paintbrushes. If they're still stiff with paint, the bristles could fray or break. Keep soaking them, checking every 20 minutes or so, until the latex loosens from the bristles and roller sponges, and you can easily push it off the brushes. (If the brushes are still stiff or have bits of paint stuck to them, try soaking the bristles in boiling-hot white vinegar for about ﬁve minutes, then run a stiff nylon or plastic brush (never metal) through the bristles.) Rinse the soapy water off, shake or spin the rollers and brushes to get rid of excess water, and let them dry on sheet of newspaper or clean towels. Oil paint is a different matter. If you used oilbased paint and it has dried, you can try salvaging

the brushes by soaking them in mineral spirits or paint thinner for several minutes. Make sure the room is well-ventilated, and that you wear gloves and eye protection during this process. Roller sponges with oil paint dried on them may not be salvagable but if you need to pry them off the roller handles, apply mineral spirits or paint thinner to the ends to loosen the dried paint. Finally, store rollers upright and either hang brushes up or store them in a clean paint can, handles down and brushes upward. HOME TIP: To easily hang up paintbrushes, run a wire or twine across the front of a storage shelf and either thread the brushes onto the wire by the holes in their handles, or attach pegboard hooks to the wire and hang the brushes from them. -- Gerry in San Diego Send your home tips and questions to ask@thisisahammer.com.

• Throw a dart (literally) at a wall map of the U.S. and go online to research what's nearby that could turn into a vacation spot. • If prospecting for gold or gems appeals to you, search online for gem and mineral associations in the states you'll visit. They're your best bet for dig locations to suggest.

Rethink Those Bland Summer Vacations If you're planning to take a summer vacation, consider making this the year you do something different. • Take a child's interest or a hobby of yours and turn it into a vacation. Don't send your child to space camp when the whole family can visit the Kennedy Space Center and expand your adventures from there across Florida. • If you've worked for years on your family tree but it still has holes, consider planning a tour of state archives, museums and genealogical sources.

After

• Start now to investigate things to do in towns and cities new to you. Contact the Chamber of Commerce in those locations for packets of information. While you have them on the phone, ask about things generally known only to the locals that you might otherwise miss. • If the family loves hiking, collect state park maps of hiking trails and plan a week of visits. Want interesting and cheaper accommodations at your destination? Check hovelstay.com. The accommodation categories are broken down into Survivor Hovels, Good Enough, and Clean and Comfortable. If you're headed to San Francisco, stay in a tent in Berkeley, California, near the BART station. Heading

for Phoenix? Stay in a four-person room in accommodations that include cable, Wi-Fi, light breakfast, use of a computer and a karaoke machine. Looking for some posh but cheap digs in Seattle? Choose king-size accommodations that can take three people. While HovelStay.com is just now open to nonstudents and doesn't cover all areas of the U.S., it's worth a look if you want to save some money. If you're going to a foreign country and will need a passport, don't wait until the last minute. From time of application, it can take four to six weeks for a routine application. If you ask for expedited service, you could have your passport within eight days ... but expect to receive it in three weeks. Expedited also will cost you an additional $60.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF BROWARD COUNTY

Humane Society of Broward County: 954-266-6826

Beat the Heat! $15 Feline Spay/Neuters

Broward County Animal Care & Adoptions: 954-359-1313 ext. 9630

The Humane Society of Broward County and Broward County Animal Care & Adoption are teaming up for their fourth annual “Beat the Heat.” In an effort to prevent the births of potentially thousands of kittens in the upcoming spring and summer months, the shelters will be hosting “Beat the Heat” from February 2 – 6 and spaying and neutering cats for $15.00. The fee will also include a rabies vaccination and FVRCP booster. Felines eight weeks of age or older who are free-roaming, feral or lucky enough to have a home are eligible for this week long event, however appointments are necessary. The HSBC’s goal is to sterilize 350 cats and BCACA goal is to work with their veterinary partners and sterilize 150 felines. While kittens are cute, the fact is there are simply too many unwanted cats and not enough homes. Only with your help can we reduce the number of unwanted cats entering shelters. The HSBC is a private, non-proﬁt organization supported by donations from people and companies who want to help us help the animals. The shelter receives no government funding and is not afﬁliated with any local or national organization with a similar name. To learn more visit www.humanebroward.com Broward County Animal Care and Adoption is dedicated to providing shelter for lost and homeless animals. The agency provides access to hundreds of shelter pets hoping for a new home. Please prevent unwanted animals and have your pet spayed or neutered. For more information about the agency, visit Broward.org/animal, or "like us" on Facebook. com/BrowardPets. For appointments call:

Phone: 860-961-1887.

The Humane Society of Broward County is conveniently located at 2070 Grifﬁn Road, just a block west of I-95.
