BAD DAYS

by Janet Spencer We all have bad days now and then, and nothing helps you feel better after a bad day than hearing about someone whose day has been even worse!

POLICE PROBLEMS • Joe Ramirez went to the courthouse in New York City to face a traffic charge. The court business dragged on and before his case was called, he realized the time on his parking meter had run out. He went to feed the meter, but on the way to his car a cop ticketed him for jaywalking. When he got to his car, he found he'd already gotten a ticket. When his case was finally called, Joe was fined $5. He couldn't pay the fine because he'd already paid the parking ticket, the parking meter, and the jaywalking ticket. So he paid $2 and was told to pay the rest as soon as he could.

• In 1977 Skip Swenson of Los Angeles ordered a personalized license plate that read "NONE." Shortly afterwards he was surprised to receive $953 worth of overdue parking tickets. Seems that when the police write a ticket for cars without plates, they write "none" on the ticket.

• The International Track Association's meet was held in L.A. in 1973. Lee Evans, Vince Matthews, and Larry James announced they were going to try to break the record for the indoor mile run. The race proceeded smoothly until the final lap. Evans was in the lead when he saw the officials had miscounted the laps and had stretched

• A bank robber in Oregon in 1969 handed a note to the teller saying, "This is a holdup and I've got a gun. Put the money in a paper bag." The cashier wrote back, "I haven't got a paper bag." The robber fled.

gunned his engine and started to pull out, a crew member yelled, "Whoa!" but Pearson thought he said, "GO!" Fifty yards later, both left wheels left the car and went bouncing down the track.

(continued):

the tape over the finish line when there was still another lap to go. Evans lifted the tape over his head and kept on running. James and Matthews thought the race was finished and quit running. Evans missed setting a new record by one second— the second it had taken him to lift the tape over his head. • Lane Lohr was competing in the pole vault at a track meet held at the University of Illinois on a windy day in 1985. Just after clearing the bar, a gust of wind blew the pole underneath him. As he fell, the pole rode up his thigh inside his track shorts, ripping them completely off. When he landed in the pit he was wearing only his jock strap. The crowd went wild. An official delivered a towel to Lohr, who acknowledged the applause of the crowd before heading for the locker room and a spare pair of shorts. He placed sixth in the finals and qualified for All-American status. • High jumper Jeff Woodard was competing in a track meet at the University of Alabama in 1981. He got a perfect plant and cleared the bar easily at 7 feet 1 3/4 inches. His jump was so strong that instead of landing in the pit, he flew completely beyond it and came down in the middle of the steeple jump's three foot deep pool.

A BAD TOSS • A drum major in a parade in Ventura, California, threw his twirling baton high into the air. It hit a power cable which short-circuited and melted, throwing out the power for ten blocks, putting a radio station off the air, and starting a grass fire.

RACING RUIN • When David Pearson was racing in the Rebel 500 at the Darlington Raceway, he pulled his race car over for a pit stop. His crew went about the business of changing all four of his tires, but Pearson didn't notice what they were doing because he kept his eyes riveted on the leader of the race who was also in for a pit stop. Pearson was under the mistaken impression that the crew was replacing the right tires only. They loosened the left tires as they were tightening the right tires. When Pearson

DENTAL GROUP

• At the Smoky Mountain Raceway in 1968, Buddy Baker's Dodge blew a tire, spun out of control, and crashed into the wall. Hurt and dazed, Baker needed a quick trip to the hospital. The ambulance, which was actually an old hearse, arrived and Baker was put on a wheeled stretcher and loaded into the back. Unfortunately, the back door didn't latch and when the ambulance pulled away, the back door flew open and Buddy, still strapped to the stretcher, went rolling out the back and down the racetrack. All the other race cars came around the corner heading right for the rolling gurney. Baker narrowly missed the oncoming autos, with the ambulance attendants chasing after him. Safely back in the vehicle, they headed to the hospital. Baker's bad luck was still hanging around, though— and when the ambulance ran a red light, they had to swerve suddenly to avoid an accident with another car. The hearse skidded up onto the sidewalk, plowing into a set of garbage cans. The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital in spite of a flat tire.

After being treated for fractured ribs and a concussion, Baker refused the offer of a ride back to the track in the ambulance.

CAR CALAMITIES • Keith McGuigan of Canada parked his car in front of an auto wrecking business in 1981 while he went out back to look for a door latch that would fit his car. When he returned after finding the perfect latch, he found that his car was now a subcompact. He had parked it in a row of junkers waiting to be crushed. • Richard Horan of Westwood, Massachusetts, went snowmobiling in New Hampshire in 1983. He parked his car and snowmobile trailer on a back road and left for a day of fun. He returned in the evening to find his rig had been run over by a train. Unbeknownst to him, he'd parked smack in the middle of the Maine Central Railroad tracks. The rails were hidden under snow.

When he returned later with a tow truck, he found a ticket for improper parking on the windshield of the wreck. • In 1981 Peter Stankiewicz of Rockville, Maryland, slammed on the brakes, jumped out of his car, and dove over a bridge into the Potomac River to rescue a man

Only then did he discover that his car had been towed and impounded because it was blocking traffic. • A car got stuck in the mud of San Diego Bay. Tow truck operator Larry Cavner was called to the scene, but his tow truck also got stuck. A backup tow truck likewise got stuck. Then he hired an amphibious vehicle, which promptly got stuck. Next he called for a bulldozer, which rescued all four vehicles. The tab for Mr. Cavner was $16,000. The original motorist paid nothing. • Alan Lewis was a bus driver in Wales in 1982 when he drove his double-decker bus under a single-decker bridge. Half of the upper deck was completely sheared off. "I usually drive single-deckers. I just forgot I was in a double-decker," he said.

Unusual animals:

DOGS • Dogs can hear both higher and lower on the frequency spectrum than humans can. They can also pinpoint sound direction faster, and can hear sounds that are four times as far away as what humans can hear. Dogs with upright ears have better hearing than dogs with droopy ears. Droopy ears were bred into dogs in order to protect their ear canals from grass seeds and bugs when running through brush.

•A dog’s acute sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times sharper than a human’s.

The part of the brain devoted to processing scent is four times larger in a dog’s brain than in a human’s. People have 5 million scent-detecting cells, but dogs have 220 million.

They can detect bladder cancer in a urine sample, and detect a chemical odor change in a person who is about to suffer a seizure.

•Why is a dog’s nose wet? It’s covered by a thin layer of mucus that helps them absorb scent. They then lick their noses to sample the scent through their mouth.

•Although dogs have a better sense of smell and hearing than humans, their sense of taste is awful. They only have 1,700 taste buds whereas humans have 9,000. Cats come in last with only 473.

This helps explain why dogs so willingly eat garbage: ‘smells interesting, can’t taste it.’

•The myth that dogs see only in black and white has been disproved. They can see some colors such as blue and yellow but tend to have the same sort of red-green colorblindness that some humans have. Dogs have better night vision than humans.

•When dogs kick after defecating, they are using the scent glands on their

paws to further mark their territory.

•Dogs sweat through their paws.

•The breeds that bark the most are beagle and border collie.

•The chow is the only breed with a black tongue instead of a pink tongue.

However, chow puppies are born with pink tongues that turn black after a few months.

•Dalmation puppies are born all white.

Their spots arrive later.

•Whereas humans have four different blood types, there are eight different blood types among dogs.

•Dogs do not have an appendix.

•Tallest breed: Irish wolfhound (31 inches / 70 cm at the shoulder). Smallest: Chihuahua (6 inches / 15 cm at the shoulder). Heaviest: St. Bernards, mastiffs (up to 200 lb / 91 kg). Fastest: Greyhound, whippet (45 mph / 72 kmh) •The American Kennel Club recognizes 184 dog breeds in the United States.

They are split into seven types: toy / hound / herding / sporting / non-sporting / working / terrier.

• The most popular breed in the U.S. and Britain is the Labrador retriever.

•The smartest breeds are generally thought to be border collies, golden retrievers, Labradors, poodles, Doberman pinschers, and German shepherds.

•Less intelligent breeds include Afghan hounds, chows, and Chihuahuas •Longest ears: basset hounds.

•The phrase “man’s best friend” may have originated from a courtroom speech in Missouri in 1870 when a farmer sued a neighbor who shot his dog.

•The most common command is ‘sit.’

•It costs about $1,500 per year to maintain a dog.

HOLLYWOOD — Liza Minnelli is alive and well, and living a block away from me in West Hollywood. Haven't seen her at the market yet, but she did attend Michael Feinstein's show at the Pasadena Playhouse. Liza recently sold her New York apartment, on the Upper East Side, for $8.37 million and her collection of Andy Warhol paintings are for sale for a mere $40 million. Now that she's 70, she wants a quieter life than NYC could give her.

Word was she seemed so frail and weak that she had to be helped in and out of the theater by a friend.

Meanwhile, Michael Douglas is asking friends and family to come see his dad Kirk Douglas and to pray for him.

Could that be his way of preparing everyone for the last days of the screen star who has played, among many roles, Spartacus, Odysseus, Vincent Van Gogh, Doc Holliday and George Patton? *** Bette Midler had a lot to celebrate the day tickets went on sale for her March 15 Broadway return as Dolly Levi in "Hello Dolly." Ticket sales, on that day alone, busted through the roof, earning $9 million. David Hyde Pierce — four-time Emmy winner for "Frasier" and 2008 Tony winner for "Curtains" — will play Horace Vandergelder (played by Walter Mathieu in the film with Barbra Streisand).

But Bette's celebration was short-lived because of social media. She tweeted, "Now that @IAmCait has been canceled will she go back to being Bruce? Will Kris take him back? Do I smell a re-wedding?" People were upset and accused Midler of misgendering Jenner and tweets to

that effect. Midler later issued an apology to the Human Rights Campaign, on Twitter, saying, "Dear friends @ HRC, whom I have always supported, sorry last tweet offended. An idle musing. I seem to have misread the temper of the times." That apology didn't satisfy or convince some Twitter haters. I've spent time with Bette and all she was trying to do was to say something funny, but you can't please all the people all the time, so why try? *** Now that we've recovered from the news that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are calling it quits (which the tabloids have been screaming for months; well, they have to be right once in a while), and we know she wants the kids, how will they settle the financials? She's worth $160 million and he's worth $240 million. Alimony for a wife (who doesn't want to work so she can concentrate on her charity work) and child support for six kids is going to put a big dent in his fortune! Revenge is best served chilled ... right, Jenn? (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: I have heard rumors that a "Downton Abbey" movie might be in the works. Is this true? — Jennifer D., via email A: I too have heard these rumors, and talk at the BAFTA awards a short while back is only strengthening them.

Michael Fox, who played Andy the valet, intimated that Maggie Smith (our favorite Dowager Countess) might be on board for a reunion big-screen feature film, which would pretty much guarantee a green light for the project. "Downton" creator and writer Julian Fellowes told "Good Morning Britain": "I would love to make [a 'Downton' movie]. As far as I am concerned, I'm completely up for it. Most of the cast are up for it."

This past summer, Julian told "Indiewire": "I hope there will be a film. There is an audience for a film. I'd structure a narrative with lots of things happening, but we would need a kind of unity to make a feature, which is a challenge for me. It would be a bigger canvas: A riot could be a real riot, the ball a real ball. I would like that; I think it would be fun."

Michelle Dockery, who played Lady Mary, teased in "Vanity Fair": "I think there is potential for a ['Downton Abbey'] film. That is something I would wholeheartedly consider, so we will see. It may not be over yet." *** Q: Thank you so much for all the "Outlander" news that you provide during the long break between seasons. Do you have any more news to sate my appetite during this Droughtlander? — Dina J., New Haven, Connecticut A: I do! I forgot to include this news a few weeks ago when I gave my "Outlander" update: The lovable Fergus (who was played by cutie-pie Romann Berrux in season

two) will be in his early 20s for the third season of the hit romance/time travel/fantasy drama, and he will be played by Cesar Domboy. We also have casting news about Lord John Grey, who plays an integral part in the remaining books of the series. Australian actor David Berry will play the former British soldier-turned-Ardsmuir Prison governor who strikes up a dubious friendship with the incarcerated Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan).

Also, I'm sure you know that "Outlander" has been renewed for a third and fourth season. But what you might not know is that Starz's CEO Chris Albrecht told a group of reporters recently that the popular series "will be around for a long time." *** Q: Please tell me when the new season of "Homeland" begins. — Rae G., via email A: The hit Showtime crime thriller will premiere its 12-episode sixth season on Jan. 15, 2017. It also has been renewed for a seventh and eighth season, with the eighth expected to be its last. Season six begins its story several months after the fifth, and takes place between Election Day and Inauguration Day.

Answers 1. Ral Donner, in 1961. Donner provided voice-over for the film "This Is Elvis" after The King's death.

2. "Let's Go (Pony)," in 1962. The song is a fave of cheerleading squads because the "clap-clap-clap" is a crowd energizer.

Savings bonds have been paperless for many years, and you can't just buy or redeem them anywhere now. There are some banks where you can cash in your bonds, but the preferred method now is to do it online.

As a first step, go online to check the value of each bond.

Try SavingsBonds.com and use the calculator. Click the yellow box ("Get your bond values here") and select the details of your bond from the drop-down menu. It's not necessary to include the bond's serial number if your other details (series, face value, date issued) are correct.

SHOULD YOU REDEEM OLD SAVINGS BONDS? Do you have any old savings bonds tucked away, ones bought years ago to help a grandchild with college expenses? Or maybe you want to take care of all your credit-card debt by cashing in bonds. Redeeming savings bonds isn't as easy as it used to be.

You'll get a color-coded message at the top. Red, for example, means that your bond isn't earning interest and should be cashed in. Blue means the bond is less than five years old, and you'll forfeit three months in interest if you redeem it too early. Before you can get a printout list of your bonds, you'll need to enter your email address.

Look at the In the News section for specific information about how your interest can affect your taxes. When you cash in bonds, you'll get a Form 1099-INT showing the

SENIORS AS ROOMMATES There are things to be said for taking on a roommate when we're single seniors. Topping the list of positives is that expenses can be shared, which means you could end up in a home and neighborhood that is nicer than one you can afford on your own — or that you can keep your own home and not need to downsize.

Duties around the house can be shared. There's someone there when you come home, and someone to go with you to events. Socially, you might even double the size of your network. Your roommate will be there to walk and feed your dog if you go away. If you fall or are ill, someone else is nearby to get help.

The way to start thinking about this is to ask yourself if you have room for someone else, or if you'd need to move in with a roommate. At the very least, you'll need a bedroom and private bath for each person. Your next step will be to seek out others who are in a shared accommodation situation and ask a lot of questions. You might discover that you're a good candidate for a successful sharing: Are you flexible and social, and don't have a strong need for lots of privacy? Do you like being around other people much of the time? Are you able to set clear expectations?

Go online to search for information on seniors sharing housing. Do a lot of reading, check local resources for more information and decide if shared accommodation is something you want to consider.

Here's another biggie: It's thought that those who live with others live longer and are generally healthier and happier. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

COOLED THERMOTHERAPY IS PROSTATE OPTION

For information call

DEAR DR. ROACH: What's your opinion on cooled thermotherapy for benign enlargement of the prostate? I recently was put on Flomax and finasteride, and was given the option of having this procedure to eliminate taking these two drugs.

954-265-5940 and join a great group of adult volunteers serving their community.

My urologist has had great success, while my internist says the success rate is only 60 percent. My internist did say it's great if it works. — S.V. ANSWER: Benign enlargement of the prostate is very common in older men, and medications like tamsolusin (Flomax) and finasteride (Proscar) often are used, and are pretty effective in most men. The most effective treatment remains surgery, called transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP, which reduces symptoms by at least half in 98 percent of men. Unfortunately, TURP causes side effects in at least 20 percent of men, so there are several procedures designed to try to get the benefit of surgery without the drawbacks.

Cooled thermotherapy is a procedure using a microwave device to reduce prostate tissue. It isn't as effective as TURP: Only 72 percent of men reduce their symptoms by half or more; however, it has reduced side effects, such as need for blood transfusion. Unfortunately, there were more symptoms of uncomfortable urination, urgency and need for a catheter after surgery.

cusses cancer, enlargement, infections and erectile dysfunction in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach — No. 1001W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow up to four weeks for delivery.

I think both of your doctors are right: Some men have good experiences, but not everyone will get relief. Some serious side effects are better with thermotherapy, and others are worse. You need to decide how much taking the medications bothers you and if you can live with the symptoms the way they are.

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: I just read your column regarding the shingles vaccine. I am an insurance agent who is often asked about coverage for the shingles vaccine. The Affordable Care Act does include this under preventive care for individuals 60 and over. Preventive care is covered at 100 percent for health plans that are not grandfathered. (Grandfathered health plans are plans that have been continued virtually unchanged since 2010. They are not required to comply with all aspects of ACA, so these plans might not provide this service.)

the Department of Health clinic does offer the shingles vaccine for a fee of $5 for individuals over the age of 50 who do not have it covered under a health plan. I am not aware if this is unique to our area, or if it is a widespread provision.

ANSWER: Thank you for writing in. Others wrote to me that their Department of Health paid for most or all of the cost. Some said they could get the vaccine covered at a pharmacy but not at physician's offices. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

* It was 20th-century American politician and diplomat Adlai Stevenson who made the following sage observation: "The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning." * According to a 2015 survey, more American adults would rather admit their weight than disclose their salary. * It was farmer and author Wendell Berry who made the following sage observation: "Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you." * It was Emily Post, arbiter of courtesy and expert on etiquette, who made the following sage observation: "Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others.

If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use." * If you're planning on moving to Florida, keep in mind that in that state, it's illegal for a housewife to break more than three dishes in one day. * It's a popular stereotype: a rejected lover sitting on a barstool, drinking to try to forget the heartbreak. The problem is, drinking isn't really an effective way to go about acquiring amnesia, even temporarily. Those who study such things say that imbibing alcohol can actually help people recall events that occurred just before they started drinking. * A defense lawyer in a Canadian murder-for-hire case once argued that his client must be innocent — because the defendant was useless. The attorney commented, "No one would hire him to cut the grass. Why would someone hire him to kill someone?" Nice try, but no luck: The man was convicted. * There doesn't seem to be a clear explanation of why flies fly faster when they're in the sun than when they're in the shade. * Twilight is often defined as the period of time when day is ending and night is beginning — a pretty vague definition. There are more precise versions, though: Civil twilight is the time when streetlights come on, nautical twilight occurs when the horizon disappears, and astronomical twilight is when the faintest stars become visible. * It was 20th-century American journalist and author Sydney J. Harris who made the following sage observation: "Men make counterfeit money; in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men." * The Hawaiian Islands didn't have mosquitoes until the 1820s, when a ship evidently brought the pests along with the people. * Those who study such things claim that, generally speaking, the more money a man makes, the less alcohol he drinks. With women, though, the opposite holds

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT • Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the U.S., was paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a bout with polio he suffered in 1921 when he was nearly 40 years old. During his entire 12 year presidency, he could not walk a step without braces or crutches. Yet, he travelled more than any previous president, wrestled with his sons, and swam. He allowed his birthday in January to be used by the March of Dimes to kick off their fund-raising efforts to raise money for research to prevent polio and other childhood diseases.

• Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were distant cousins who knew each other from childhood. When they got married, Eleanor's uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt, gave away the bride.

• Roosevelt was the first president to appoint a woman to the Cabinet, choosing Frances Perkins for Secretary of Labor.

His wife Eleanor applauded his choice, but offered sympathy, saying she knew it must have been difficult for him when the labor leaders pressured him to choose one of their own men. He replied, "I'd rather have trouble with them for an hour than trouble with you for the rest of my life!"

• Roosevelt did a lot of hand-shaking when he was president, and eventually realized that strangers he met at official functions rarely paid attention to the pleasantries exchanged. At a White House party, he tested the theory. As he shook hands with the guests, he remarked that he had murdered his grandmother that morning. As he suspected, no one noticed

A SHORT LIST OF SOME OF THE BEST FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT QUOTES:

except for a banker who replied, "Well, she certainly had it coming!"

• When Roosevelt came down with a bad head cold, a Washington newspaper accidentally printed a headline that said, "President Kept to Rooms by Coed." Roosevelt was so amused he ordered a bunch of extra copies to pass out to his friends.

• When King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England visited President Roosevelt in 1939, he served them hot dogs.

• H.L. Mencken was an editor, writer, and critic. In 1934, both Mencken and Roosevelt were scheduled to give speeches to the Gridiron Club, a very prestigious journalistic organization. Mencken went first, presenting a negative diatribe against Roosevelt's New Deal policies. Then Roosevelt rose for his speech, referred to his 'old friend' Mencken, and launched into a speech that blasted the American press and stunned his audience. He said editors were stupid; reporters were arrogant; and newsmen were ignorant. The crowd grew cold, until it dawned on them that Roosevelt was quoting from an article Mencken had written himself. Mencken's face grew red as the audience viewed him with amusement. When the president finished, he stopped to shake Mencken's hand.

• In 1939 when King George VI visited the U.S., FDR offered him a cocktail at the Whitehouse while the president's moth-

al

er looked on disapprovingly. Roosevelt whispered, "My mother thinks you should have a cup of tea. She doesn't approve of cocktails." The King took the drink and replied, "Neither does my mother!"

• When President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill were scheduled to meet in January 1943, they knew the Germans were desperate to find out where the meeting would take place. News was leaked that the meeting would be at the place identified in code as Casablanca. The Germans figured that since “Casablanca” was Spanish for “white house,” the meeting would take place at the White House in Washington, D.C. They sent all their available spies to monitor the White House while Roosevelt and Churchill had an uneventful meeting in Casablanca, Morocco.

• The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

• Men are not priso­ ners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.

• Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

• The test of our pro­ gress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

• It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try an­ other. But above all, try something.

nothing is trapped between the pads. Then let him relax and cool off.

Jerry should get a bath — using lukewarm water and non-perfumed pet shampoo only — a couple of times a month, or whenever his coat gets too muddy to easily rub off.

Walking the Dog Does Dog Stink ... Or Not? DEAR PAW'S CORNER: After we played with my dog "Jerry" in the backyard, a friend who was visiting told me that he stank. She said dogs should get baths every week. I don't think Jerry smells bad, just sweaty, and my mom doesn't give him a bath very often. Is what my friend said true? — Sara in Madison, Wisconsin DEAR SARA: What one person thinks is a bad smell, doesn't smell like anything to another person. This often can be true with dog owners, who are a little more accustomed to how their pet smells.

This can be especially noticeable to visitors (and even owners) after a dog has been out romping in warm weather, or in the rain. Dogs don't have a lot of sweat glands, but their undercoat and fur retain oils, dirt and other things, creating a somewhat distinctive funk.

Does that mean your dog needs frequent baths? Not really. Too many baths can dry out their skin, leading to irritation and potentially infections that can make your dog really stink — and be utterly uncomfortable.

After playing in the yard, you can rub Jerry's coat with a spare towel to knock off excess dirt. Check him over for burrs and ticks, and look at the bottom of his paws to make sure

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I'm trying to train my 6-month-old Lab, "Pepper," to be well-behaved on our walks around the neighborhood, especially when she meets other dogs. She's very excited and tugs at her leash and barks; many of the other dogs do the same, but they're not always friendly — there's a lot of growling sometimes. How can I keep the peace among the neighborhood dogs? — Nervous Dad in Delaware DEAR DAD: You don't have much control over how other owners train their dogs — other than making sure they keep their dogs on a leash unless they're in a designated free-run area like a fenced-in dog park — but you can control Pepper's experience and her behavior.

Before walks and during the day, reinforce her basic behavioral training, particularly teaching her to sit and stay on command. This is helpful when meeting other dogs; keeping Pepper from leaping around excitedly can go a long way toward keeping other dogs calm as well.

When walking Pepper, pick a route where fewer dogs will pass, or with dogs who are calmer and not aggressive. Start by walking Pepper across the street from approaching dogs; as you draw closer, stop and command Pepper to sit and stay while the other dog and owner pass. Repeat until Pepper stays seated and calm; then try the approach technique on the same side of the street.

Don't Quit on Feral Cats DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I read your recent column on caring for feral cats, and I disagree that such animals can never be tamed. I used to believe that as well, until seven years ago when a skin-and-bones tiger cat showed up on my patio. The starved cat that I thought was dead when I first saw it is now a loving fat boy that sleeps with me every night.

I'm not saying it was fast or easy experience. It took a whole year before he would even sniff my finger, and much longer for me to convince him that having his ear scratched would be awesome.

I have two other cats that I am working with now. "Mitzi" will allow me to pet her, but does not like to be held, nor will she come into the house ... yet. "Bullwinkle" most likely will never come in, as he is deathly afraid of dogs and I have three. He sleeps in our barn instead, and shows up every morning for breakfast. I had him neutered through our local TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) program.

So, while not all feral cats will become "normal," loving felines, it is possible. Good luck. — D. In Palmyra, New York

305-940-3320

DEAR D: Thank you for the encouragement! It takes a tremendous amount of patience to convince a feral cat to approach you. As you noted above, participating in a TNR program help control feral cat populations. It also can reduce the chance of injury from fights over territory or members of the opposite sex. Readers, contact your local shelter or veterinarian to find out if there's a TNR program near you.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE MUG Q: I purchased a Shirley Temple cobalt mug in a shop for $20. When I got it home it looked too new to be from the 1930s, so I took it back and was refused a refund. — Don, Salt Lake City, Utah

LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS Q: When I was a youngster in the 1940s, almost every birthday and Christmas would include at least two or three "Little Golden Books." My earliest one was "Baby's Book" published in 1942. Others are "Nursery Tales," "The Lively Little Rabbit," "Hansel and Gretel," "The Shy Little Kitten," "The Saggy Baggy Elephant" and "A Year in the City." All are in fair-to-good condition. Even though I have no intention of selling them, I am curious about current values. — Lynda, Madison, Wisconsin

A: The market is flooded with fake Shirley Temple mugs, so buyers have to do their homework and educate themselves about reproductions and fakes. One tip-off concerning your transaction was the price. Most Shirley Temple mugs, authentic ones, sell in the $35-$50 range.

Twenty dollars was a little too good to be true. When making a purchase, ask the dealer if a refund is possible if you decide you are unhappy with the merchandise. If he or she says no, walk away.

A: It is interesting to note that the Western Publishing, the parent company of Little Golden Books, started in a Racine, Wisconsin, basement. Edward Henry Wadewitz, a 30-year-old bookkeeper, purchased a small printing company in 1907 for $2,504, some of which he had borrowed from a brother. Throughout the 1920s and '30s, the company continued to prosper and grow.

*** Q: I have two framed prints, one identified as being a drawing of Richard Owen, 1804-1892, and the other Sir William Crookes, 1832-1919. Both are signed "Spy." What are these prints, and are they worth anything? — Connie, Mesa, Arizona

According to "Collecting Little Golden Books," by Steve Santi and published by Krause Books, the first Little Golden Books were published during the autumn of 1942. The first 10 titles are "Three Little Kittens," "Bedtime Stories," "The Alphabet A-Z," "Mother Goose," "Prayers for Children," "The Little Red Hen," "Nursery Songs," "The Pokey Little Puppy," "The Golden Book of Fairy Tales" and "Baby's Book."

A: Leslie Matthew Ward was a Victorian-era British portrait and caricaturist who signed his work "Spy." He drew 1,325 cartoons for Vanity Fair magazine between 1873 and 1911. His autobiography, "Forty Years of Spy," was published in 1915.

Values vary, but most of the early editions of the Little Golden Books from the 1940s seem to be valued in the $25-$100 range depending on both title and condition.

His work is, indeed, collectible. Typical prices are caricatures of Thomas Carlyle, $75; Horace Greeley, $75; Mark Twain, $300; and George Bernard Shaw, $150. Some of his more obscure personalities generally sell in the $35$50 range.

One of the better collections of "Spy" prints is at the Philadelphia Print Shop Ltd., 8441 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118; and philaprint@philaprintshop. com. To check inventory and current prices, visit www. philaprintshop.com/vanfair.html. *** Q: I purchased a Victor Victrola at an auction that requires steel needles. My problem is that I can't find any in my area. Can you help me? — Hubert, Sun City West, Arizona

*** Q: I got married in 1958, and one of my wedding presents was a milk glass plate with a hand-painted apple in its center. It was identified as being made by Fenton glass.

Does it have value? — Betty, Hastings, Nebraska A: Your milk glass plate should have a lacy-edge and was made during the mid-1950s. I found it referenced in "Fenton Glass" by Mark F. Moran, who believes your plate would retail for about $25. *** Q: I have a large brass belt buckle that depicts Mickey Mouse and is marked "Hollywood, California, USA, 1937."

What can you tell me about it? — V.B., B.C., Canada A: All authentic Disney items are marked as such. However, I cannot find your belt buckle in any of my Disney

guides and believe it is probably a reproduction.

down a run. Your leadoff hitter gets a base on balls. What happens next? If you're like most managers, you would attempt to bunt him over into scoring position, right?

Well, Brian Kenney, anchorman for the MLB Network, is here to tell you that you're wrong.

YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG Baseball is a maddening game; ask any Mets or Orioles fan, and they'll surely agree. The new "sudden death" one-game wild card isn't a playoff — it's a play-in game.

The fans hang with their team for 162 games and at the end of it all, turns out they only got to play one more game than the last-place team.

But baseball has always been a bit weird. It's the only sport I can think of that doesn't have the same playing field dimensions. It's the only sport that I can think of where the defense controls the ball, and the offense's job is to protect the plate (yes, maybe cricket is another example). And it is easily the most stubborn when it comes to the "unwritten" rules.

For instance, it's the bottom of the ninth and you're

Kenney is one of those guys, you know, the fancy-schmancy-SABRmetric-money-ball-Bill-James-disciple type that never played the game but is a big know-it-all because he uses outlandish things like irrefutable statistics to back up his arguments. In Kenney's new book, "Ahead of the Curve" (Simon & Shuster), he points out that the run expectancy with a man on first is 0.94. With a man on second, one out the number craters to 0.72.

You're giving the other team a free out, and you're taking the bat out of two players' hands ... the guy bunting and the guy who is on-deck after the other two fail to drive in that run. Yet the manager is lauded whether it works or not because it puts the blame on the two hitters who "failed in the clutch" because "he played the percentages," which is true, except that he played the wrong ones.

inning and/or about the time a starting pitcher starts to fatigue. Why not have a few designated starters who pitch two innings, a few long-reliever/starter types and a bunch of firemen ... pitchers like Sparky Lyle, Goose Gossage and Rollie Fingers, guys you bring in whenever you're in a jam. Why save the best (today's closer) for last when the team could have used him best in, say, the fifth-inning when the other team had the bases jammed.

I actually put that theory to the test using the "MLB Manager" app — which I highly recommend — and sonof-gun if it didn't take the 1985 Cubs to the World Series with no ERA over 2.99.

Will a change come? Sadly, not in our lifetime, but think of the children ... don't they deserve to see their team win a Series one day?

Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Kenney also goes on to disparage the won-lost statistic for pitchers and the error for infielders. The W-L has definitely been devalued over the years. Pitchers don't pitch complete games anymore, so it's a nonsense statistic. ERA and WHIP (walks and hits divided by innings pitched) are far better measures. He also points put that fielding percentage is a nonsense statistic because it doesn't take into account a fielder's range or his arm.

His most outlandish theory is "bullpenning." He cites statistics that prove most runs are scored in the first

AROUND TOWN THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF BROWARD COUNTY Portable Spay Neuter Unit Moving to Sunview Park Booking Appointments Now! The portable spay/neuter unit that was acquired by Broward County Animal Care and Adoptions (BCAC) has been folded up and is being moved to the next targeted location, Sunview Park located at 1500 SW 42nd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, 33317. The Humane Society of Broward County is the service provider for the 400 square foot unit and appointments for free and low-cost pet spay/ neuters are now being accepted. The goal is to sterilize a minimum of 400 pets per month at this location. To book an appointment call 954-463-SPAY (7729).

The custom portable unit, which was created by the FORTS company in Coral Springs, will remain at Sunview Park and surgeries will take place Monday – Friday.

Previously, the unit was at Delevoe Park and 2,190 surgeries were performed there over the course of 6 months.

Earlier this year, BCAC announced new programs to help people get their pets sterilized. The SNIP program is a voucher-based program open to all Broward County residents who have an owned dog or cat. SNIP services include spay/neuter surgery; a rabies vaccination, and a Broward County Registration License Tag. Broward County residents must apply online to the program at Broward.org/Animal. If you need help applying, the County has partnered with Broward County Libraries to provide online computer access to the program at any of the 33 library locations throughout the County.

Those who receive a SNIP voucher can have their pets sterilized at the unit at Sunview Park – appointments are made by calling the Humane Society of Broward County at 954-463-SPAY. For details regarding any other BrowardPetFix program, including free-roaming and feral cats, visit Broward.org/ Animal.
