Did you hear about the writer who was stranded on a desert island with only an unsharpened pencil?

He was there three weeks writing in the sand but his entire story was washed away! How pointless!

When islands are mentioned, many people think of Hawaii, the Caribbean islands or even Iceland.

In this Tidbits, we’ll explore a few unfamiliar islands; some fictional and some that are not even surrounded by water!

• Sicily Island, Louisiana is not a tropical island, or surrounded by an ocean, sea or lake. It is surrounded by Deer Creek on the north, Bayou Macon and Tensas River swamp on the east, Bayou Louah and Lake Lovelace on the south and the Ouachita River to the west.

• Three exploring brothers, Richard, Thomas and George Lovelace, settled in the area in the 1760’s. They loved the beautiful scenery and lay of the land and named the area for the Mediterranean Island of Sicily.

• Popular Catahoula Curs were developed as a canine breed at Sicily Island. The dogs were bred from the Lovelace brothers’ Dalmations and Indian dogs in the area. They were named for Catahoula Parish.

• Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most famous military leaders in history, is credited with the Louisiana Purchase. Due to its French heritage, Louisiana has parishes instead of counties.

Napoleon was exiled twice: to Elba Island in the Mediterranean and later to St. Helena Island in the southern Atlantic. turn the page for more!

UNUSUAL ISLANDS (continued): Staten Island, a borough of New York City, is home to what was once the world’s largest landfill. Freshkills Landfill was established by the City of New York in 1948. The area was mainly coastal marshland and tidal creeks before it was filled in with garbage. At the peak of use, in 1986-87, the landfill had 680 employees and received up to 29,000 tons (26 million+ kg) of trash per day!

Freshkills Landfill received its last garbage on March 22, 2001 and its transformation into a city park started in 2009. Freshkills Park will be about three times the size of Central Park, with 2,200 acres (890 ha). As the development of the park continues in phases over the next 30 years, future generations will know Staten Island as a beautiful place to play and relax rather than as a place for trash.

A popular television series that ran for seven seasons on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network was Fantasy Island.

From 1978 to 1984, Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban), the handsome, debonair host greeted guests to the island and fulfilled requests for their fantasies. The very popular “little person,” (the acceptable term used by the Little People of America organization), Herve Villechaize, known as “Tattoo” on the show, would rush up the tower of the main cottage to ring the bell when guests arrived. His call, “De plane, De plane!” was heard at the beginning of each show for six seasons. After a salary dispute he left the show and a butler took his place for the final season.

Fantasy Island was not filmed on an island but in various locations in California and Hawaii.

The cottage where Tattoo rang the bell is at the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Arcadia, California.

UNUSUAL ISLANDS (continued): Another place named “Island,” is Island Park, Idaho. Called the “Longest Main Street in America,” the community extends from the Snake River north of Ashton, Idaho, to the Montana border. Island Park is popular for fishing, hunting, water sports and snowmobiling. The average snowfall of 9 feet (2.74 m) makes the area a winter wonderland, while famous trout fishing is the biggest draw in warm weather.

Hegura Island, Japan, is known for its female “free divers” (divers who deep sea dive without breathing equipment) known as “Ama.” For years the families involved in the business of Ama have rejoiced over the births of baby girls. Females are the ones who learn to dive somewhat miraculously as much as 82 feet (25 m) to harvest abalone. Through the years they started using goggles, flippers and wet suits but have never used oxygen tanks. Their “tools” are “visual acuity, lung capacity and hunter instinct.”

Hereditary rights determine who can be a part of the Ama business. Historical records show the claim to dive for abalone was bestowed on “female ancestors by Lord Maeda during the feudal Tokugawa era” in Japan from 16031867. An Ama interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning on February 9, 2014, was still diving at age 80!

The fishing region of Thousand Islands, that stretches along the St. Lawrence River region of New York and Canada is where Thousand Island salad dressing was created. Clayton, New York is considered the birthplace of the dressing, home of the Thousand Islands Inn. The origin of the salad dressing has two stories passed down through history, both involving fishing guides in the region. Read about the salad dressing and the Thousand Islands area at www.visit1000islands.com.

UNUSUAL ISLANDS (continued): • In the far northern part of Canada there is a chain of islands known as the Arctic Archipelago.

There are 94 islands with Ellesmere Island being the farthest north and the tenth largest island in the world.

• Ellesmere Island is only 497 miles (800 km) from the North Pole and 15 miles (25 km) from Greenland. It is a polar desert with an average annual precipitation of only 2 _ inches (70 mm), making it drier than the Sahara Desert!

• On the southern coast of Ellesmere Island, Grise Fiord is the northernmost permanent community in Canada with a hardy but small population of 148.

• An island with a population at the other end of the population spectrum is Java, Indonesia. It is the thirteenth largest island in the world and is home to 136 million people.

• Known for its millions of peppers instead of people is Avery Island, Louisiana. The island is one of five salt domes that rise out of the marshes of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. This island is only 163 feet (49.68 m) above sea level.

• The McIlhenny Company and their acres of hot peppers and facilities for producing the famous TABASCO® products occupy most of Avery Island. The family-owned hot sauce company has been at the site since its founding in 1868.

• An island not known for hot peppers, but for beautiful flowers, red soil, shorelines, and a famous novel is Prince Edward Island (PEI).

Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is famous all over the world. Thousands of tourists come to the island off the eastern coast of Canada annually to visit Green Gables Heritage Place and Montgomery’s home, both part of PEI National Park.

13 weeks $195 Full color New Food Guidelines Reveal Cancer Risk It used to be much simpler to know what to eat.

Remember the Basic 7 food groups we ate as children?

That became the Basic Four.

Then for years we followed the Food Pyramid, which was followed by MyPyramid. More recently we have MyPlate telling us how what to eat.

Then there were all the changes to specific foods.

Coffee was good, and then it was bad. Chocolate was bad, and then it was good.

Add aging and physical changes and doctors’ orders, and our diets have likely changed even more. We haven’t known why, really, we should eat or avoid certain foods.

Now we do know.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has created a graphic that shows exactly how harmful or helpful certain foods and drinks are — and how likely they are to increase or reduce risk of cancer.

Here are some of the specific cancer risks from the graphic: • Two glasses of milk per

day causes a 60 percent increase in the risk of prostate cancer. Dairy protein products do, too, but at a rate of 32 percent increased risk.

• Two or three glasses of alcohol — 21 percent increase. Processed meat — 21 percent. Red meat — 28 percent.

• A “Western diet” (burger, fries and a drink) — a whopping 200 percent.

On the other side of the scale, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage) lower the risk 18 percent.

Fruits — 11 percent. Carotenoid vegetables (think: orange color) — 19 percent. A healthy lifestyle in general gets us a 30 percent decrease in cancer risk.

Before you make any big changes to your diet, run this information by your doctor and ask for advice.

Given how fast the guidelines change, there might be updated news.

Sweating Buckets DEAR DR. ROACH: I hope you can help me. I am 67 years old and have been sweating profusely from my head for about six years. I believe it is secondary hyperhidrosis.

No one in my family has this problem. The sweating seems to happen at all different times, but not at night. The moisture runs in rivulets from my scalp anytime from morning to evening, but mostly in the morning.

I tried stopping my water pill, but it still happened. It happened when I stopped vitamins and took only my medications for physical problems. My doctor tested my thyroid, and it was fine.

Please help me, as it is an embarrassing ailment, and it happens no matter the season or what I have eaten. I do drink tea and coffee, but not soda. There are people who have said I should take Botox, but I have little faith in the product, as it can cause serious health problems and death. — M.E. ANSWER: “Hyperhidrosis” simply means “too much sweat.” I think you probably have primary hyperhidrosis, meaning that the sweating is the only problem, as opposed to secondary, which means it’s due to something else. Other

conditions that can lead to secondary hyperhidrosis include the thyroid disease your doctor looked for, and medications (which it also doesn’t seem to be). Other rare causes, such as tuberculosis and lymphoma, surely would have produced other symptoms by now.

The most common sites for hyperhidrosis are the palms, armpits and soles of the feet. Nearly everybody sweats in those places, but with hyperhidrosis, the amount of sweat is much greater than normal and can have serious emotional, professional and social effects.

The first treatment I would recommend would be a prescription antiperspirant, either aluminum chloride (Xerac) or topical glycopyrrolate (available by compounding pharmacies in the U.S. and Canada). The scalp is a harder place than most to apply it, but after applying, you can dry with a hair dryer, and use a plastic shower cap to keep the medicine on at nighttime. Occasionally, oral medications such as clonidine are used.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is usually quite safe in expert hands. A last resort is surgery to remove the sympathetic nerves to the scalp, a procedure that’s very effective. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Air Conditioner Alternatives

Q:

What is the difference between an air conditioner and an evaporator? Is one better for my home? I just need something to cool the front room occasionally in the summertime, and I hate window units. — George F., Burlington, Vt. An evaporative cooler can be a costeffective alternative to an air conditioner, but it’s not always the best choice.

Also known as swamp coolers, evaaporative coolers add humidity to the air in your house. They bring in air from the outside, pass it over water-soaked pads, and blow that humidified air inside.

If you live in a hot, dry climate like the Southwest, a swamp cooler can be a very efficient way to cool the house. In hot, humid climates, not so much, because the air in the house is already humid.

Air conditioners work well in humid climates because they help remove some of that humidity from the air. While they’re not dehumidifiers per se, the unit recirculates air in the room. As that air passes over the air conditioner’s evaporator coil, the moisture in the air condenses and is drained from the unit, while the air is blown back into the room. That process helps cool the air

A:

and reduce mugginess.

Both units need regular maintenance: An evaporative cooler’s pads need to be changed every few weeks while in use, and an air conditioner’s filter needs to be cleaned or replaced each month in the warm season.

If you hate lugging window units in and out of the window each year, look into buying a portable air conditioner. These typically cost more than window units (sometimes twice as much for the same BTU level) but can be rolled from room to room as needed and stored out of the way when not needed. Just remember that the portable unit’s ventilation hose must vent outside, meaning the unit needs to stay near a window. And you probably will need to empty the condensation tray regularly, in cheaper units.

A final alternative is natural ventilation. If you get cool nights or steady breezes, open windows in the early morning and late evening, and invest in heavy curtains to cover windows in which the sun shines during the afternoon. Add an electric fan to keep fresh air circulating constantly.

In certain climates, this can give you a comfortable home except for the hottest, most humid days of the year.

Burial Claims Just Got Easier As of July 2014, surviving spouses no longer need to apply for burial benefits after the death of a veteran.

It used to be that survivors had to submit receipts and forms after the burial of a veteran, and then wait for the reimbursement check.

The amounts were small: $300 for a non-service-connected death, and $2,000 if it was service-connected.

Now, as the Department of Veterans Affairs tries to cut back on the number of claims it processes, the authorized amounts will be paid automatically once it’s notified of a veteran’s death.

Unfortunately, the amounts will remain the same.

The veteran still will be eligible for other benefits.

A headstone (granite or marble) or marker (granite, marble, bronze) will be provided at no cost, but there is likely to be a cost for placement if it’s not a national cemetery. A medallion can be provided to attach to a headstone that was privately purchased at a civilian cemetery. For questions or to check status of headstone

applications, you can call 1-800-697-6947. Survivors also can apply to receive a keepsake burial flag.

This year, the VA estimates it will pay the benefit to 62,000 surviving spouses.

If you’re a surviving spouse, a funeral director will typically take on the task of notifying the VA and Social Security, but don’t take that for granted. Ask. To find the nearest VA state or national cemetery, go online to www.cem. va.gov. You’ll find more information about burial benefits and eligibility for burial in a national VA cemetery. To reach the National Cemetery Scheduling Office, call 1-866-9006417. Call 1-800-535-1117 for follow-ups.

A printable .PDF file of information about national cemeteries can be found at the above Web address.
