TIDBITS® CONSIDERS CASTAWAYS
by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we remember shipwrecks and castaways! CAROLINE ISLAND • Gary Mundell intended to sail solo from California to Hawaii aboard his boat Petral in 1985. One night while he was asleep he was jolted awake by a bump. He discovered the boat had gone aground on Caroline Island, one of the most remote pieces of real estate in the Pacific. Mundell had thought the island was at least 15 miles (24 km) away. The island, 7 miles long and 1 mile wide (11 x 1.6 km), was uninhabited. He could not get the boat free or reach anyone on the radio. • He transferred everything movable from the boat to the shore using his inflatable raft, and set up camp under a grove of coconut trees. Then he made a huge SOS sign in the sand. As the days passed, Gary found abundant coconuts, crabs, and fish. He caught rain in his sail and filled the many discarded bottles and jugs that had washed up on the shore until he had over 60 gallons (227 l). He never had to ration water. He even filled his raft with rainwater and had a bath. • After the first month passed without ship or plane, he considered sailing his raft to the nearest inhabited island 460 miles (740 km) away but decided to stay where he had food and water.

CAROLINE ISLAND (cont) • In spite of the ready availability of food, he lost 25 lbs. (11 kg). He caught a huge turtle and harvested over 100 lbs. (45 kg) of meat. • On his 50th day, Mundell saw a ship. He used flares, smoke signals, and mirror flashes. The French research vessel Coriolis answered with their searchlight. He was rescued. The Coriolis discovered that Caroline Island was actually located 15 miles (24 km) east of its charted position. FAMILY AT SEA • •Dougal Robertson was a sailor for years before he married a nurse named Lyn and settled down on an English dairy farm to raise a family. Fifteen years of dairy life was enough for him, so he sold the farm and bought a schooner named Lucette. In January of 1971 Dougal and his wife Lyn, with their 18-yearold son, twin 12-year-old daughters, and a 22-year-old college student friend, set out to sail around the world. • On the morning of June 15 three killer whales hit the Lucette in the Caribbean Ocean. The boat sank within the next 60 seconds. It was lucky that a friend of theirs gave them a life raft as a going-away gift, but it was an older model. All six people crammed aboard the 10-person inflatable raft. They salvaged a dinghy and collected floating wreckage to supplement the meager stores in the life raft. • The Galapagos Islands 200 miles (322 km) east offered the closest land but the wind and current pushed them away and into the most isolated part of the doldrums. They rigged a sail, which then towed the rubber raft with all six people aboard. The wind pushed them towards South America. On the third day, a flying fish flopped into their boat and provided a meal. On the seventh day a ship passed within three miles (5 km) of them but failed to see them despite the use of most of their precious flares. (cont)
• For a little extra visibility in the basement, try applying glow-in-the-dark or reflective tape on the edges of the stairs. • “Peppermint is a wonderful cure for indigestion. To make a quick peppermint tea, use a rolling pin to smash three to four peppermint candies. Add them to a glass of water and microwave for a minute and a half. Stir to melt the candies completely, and drink slowly.” -G.L. in California • Don’t stop reading just because it’s hard to get to a library!

Some have regular seminars on all kinds of topics -- and many of them are done virtually. • If you are replacing a hinge to re-hang a door and you need to use the same holes, make sure you add grip by placing a matchstick or toothpick in the hole before rescrewing the attachments. Just break it off flush with the frame. It will add some security to the hole so it won’t be as loose. • Maintain a list of all drugs you take -- both prescription and over the counter -- and when you fill a new prescription, give a copy to your pharmacist to check for interactions. Also, if you have multiple or complicated medical issues, it might help to patronize a single pharmacy. That way, the pharmacist can advise you of any interactions or complications.

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #41 Oct. 5th 2020 FAMILY AT SEA (cont) • The raft began to disintegrate and required constant work to re-inflate. On the 15th day the dinghy came loose and drifted away. Dougal swam after it, pursued by curious sharks. On the 17th day they abandoned the useless raft and crowded into the 9-foot (2.7 m) dinghy‑‑ a boat which had been built by a Fort Lauderdale high school class as a class project. They speared sharks and ate them; collected oil from turtles to use as skin lotion; and collected rain. After a month they knew they would not starve or die of thirst, but would simply continue floating until either finding a boat, or landing on a beach. • On the 38th day a Japanese fishing boat headed straight for them. Dougal fired one of the remaining two flares and got their attention. They were picked up 800 miles (1,287 km) from where the Lucette went down. When rescued, they were carrying a two-week supply of dried fish and rainwater. Dougal later wrote about their experiences in a book called “Survive the Savage Sea.” A BIG DRIFT • Maurice and Maralyn Bailey were aboard their 31-foot (9.5 m) sloop Auralyn on their way to the Galapagos Islands on March 4, 1973. Their boat was struck by a wounded sperm whale which may have been injured by a whaling ship they saw the previous evening. The couple had an hour to try to save the boat. When it became obvious it was sinking, they abandoned ship. They left the wreck in a 4-foot (1.2 m) inflatable life raft tied to a 9-foot (2.7 m) inflatable dinghy. They had all their survival gear with them with one exception-- they forgot the fishing gear. They had food and water for 20 days.

Amorous sea turtles tried to mate with the rubber raft and the Baileys feared they would pop the float tubes, so they ate the turtles. Using turtle scraps as bait and safety pins as hooks, they caught triggerfish. They had books and papers which they used to make playing cards and dominoes. • On the 25th night another ship went by without seeing their flare or their flashlight. Then their flare gun failed. Rain came and they drank their fill. They caught a huge turtle and tied him to the raft. The turtle began to tow them. They caught another turtle and tied it up, too, but it began to tow them in the opposite direction so they cut both turtles loose. • On the 37th day another ship passed, and two days later another one. They set off an improvised smoke bomb in a turtle shell but were not spotted. Another ship went by on the 45th day but they could not get their kerosenesoaked cloth strips to light. One of the main float tubes of their raft collapsed on the 55th day and could not be repaired. Now they needed to pump the tube every 20 minutes. Their health began to deteriorate. • In June torrential rains came. They had enough to drink but the deteriorating canopy above their raft failed to keep them dry. On their 100th day afloat they finally decided to begin eating the birds that constantly landed on their raft. They also began catching and eating sharks. On June 30, their 118th day at sea, a Korean ship appeared and saw them waving their jackets. They climbed aboard under their own power. • Just before leaving on their voyage, Maurice, a printer by trade, had printed a book called “Safety and Survival at Sea.” They later wrote of their ordeal in a book called “Staying Alive: 117 Days Adrift.”

By Lucie Winborne --• Some adult details made it into the final cut of the PG-rated film “The Santa Clause.” In one scene, Tim Allen’s character jokes that his wife’s number is “1-800-SPANK ME.” It turned out, however, that was a real line that you could call and hear some naughty stuff -- as many overly curious children found out. The line was removed from future releases of the film. • According to Hasbro, the tallest Jenga tower ever was 40 levels, plus two additional blocks on top. • There have been more than 300 different Kit Kat flavors in Japan, including soy sauce, “European cheese” and wasabi. Some of them are limited or regional editions. Because the candy bar’s name coincidentally sounds like the Japanese expression “Kitto Katsu,” which translates to “You will surely win,” it is a popular good-luck gift for students ahead of their university exams. • Astronauts cannot cry in space, as the tears need gravity to flow. They also lose their sense of smell in space. • The fingerprints of a koala bear are so indistinguishable from those of humans that they have on occasion been confused at a crime scene. • Winston Churchill had a doctor’s note permitting him to drink “unlimited” amounts of alcohol while visiting the U.S. • Speaking of beverages, in 16th-century Turkey, a woman could initiate a divorce if her husband didn’t pour coffee for her. • Because they both lost so many players to World War II military service, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles combined to become the “Steagles” during the 1943 season. • The Anglo-Zanzibar War (August 1896), between the United Kingdom and the Zanzibar Sultanate, is the shortest war in recorded history, clocking in at a mere 38 minutes.

FATIGUE CAN BE A WARNING SIGN
So many people are tired today. If tiredness is a part of your life, it would be wise to investigate the cause and get rid of it – living with fatigue is just…well…not fun! Tiredness, or fatigue, is a warning flag that something is wrong. The problem is that it can indicate many things that are wrong, so, investigative work is essential. Although it is common knowledge that many health issues cause fatigue, sometimes we forget that other things such as diet, exercise, certain lifestyle activities, as well as medication usage can be contributing factors. Let’s talk about health issues first. Hormonal imbalances can cause imbalances in your energy levels. For example, the number one symptom of a thyroid not functioning properly is fatigue. Other symptoms can include cold hands and feet, temperature dysregulation, loss of head and eyebrow hair, dry hands and hair. Other hormonal glands such as the adrenal glands (that control sustained energy throughout the day), pituitary (the “master gland” that controls other hormone-producing glands, and along with the pineal gland, regulates sleep), pancreas (responsible for blood sugar regulation), liver (which produces or regulates many hormones), sex hormones, brain hormones – nearly any hormone out of balance can result in fatigue. Health conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, PMR (polymyalgia rheumatica), Epstein Barr Virus, Lupus, cancer, kidney disease, chronic anxiety, many inflammatory diseases, etc. can be sources of fatigue. Although this list is long, I want to focus on a few:
Gut disorders can be accompanied by fatigue. Good digestion takes a lot of energy to process food. A poorly functioning gut takes tons more energy. Inflammatory gut diseases, including dysbiosis, leaky gut, celiac/gluten intolerance, Crohn’s Disease, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD) of any form, commonly carries with it fatigue. Straightening out your digestion can really help you out. Anemia – iron deficiency, and pernicious (vitamin B12 deficiency) and other mineral and vitamin deficiency diseases commonly cause a person to be tired. Sometimes those deficiencies are specific, such as Vitamin B12 deficiency, others are more complex, such as a deficiency of all the B vitamins collectively. Zinc deficiency can cause fuzzy thinking, commonly associated with fatigue. A compromised immune system to any degree can result in fatigue. Common conditions such as Epstein Barr Virus, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer, any chronic infection, and any auto-immune condition can cause fatigue. Rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue disorders and pain are all tiring, and can strip your body of every stitch of energy you may have. Medications which have side effects of fatigue include anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, blood pressure meds, pain meds, muscle relaxants, antihistamines, cancer meds, seizure or epilepsy meds, cardiovascular meds, arthritis meds and many others. Not all medications in these categories cause fatigue, so check your own medications. There are many other causes of fatigue and many remedies for fatigue as well. The first step is to do the investigative work necessary to uncover the underlying cause of your fatigue. Let us help.

COVID Cancellations
Between March 15 and May 1, the Department of Veterans Affairs canceled 7.3 million medical appointments. The VA’s rationale at the time was to protect staff and veterans from the COVID-19 virus and to conserve their supplies. For the veteran, however, it could mean that a minor medical problem becomes a major one if not attended to. The VA’s Office of Inspector General waded in and examined all those vanished appointments. It looked at whether the facilities were digging out those old records and making new in-person appointments, canceling for good if the veteran went somewhere else, converting appointments to video telehealth ... something, anything to get those veterans the care they’d originally sought. The results: * Almost one-third of cancellations showed no follow-up or tracking for primary, mental health or specialty care. There was no way, per the OIG report, for the facilities to track canceled appointments. The VA quickly rigged up a tracking system for those appointments and told facilities to review all cancellations. Some appointments were either followed up or conducted by phone or video -- but not necessarily rescheduled. * There were “mass” cancellations, groups of 10 or more, totaling 350,000 appointments, indicating that the veterans likely had not been called. * For a time, all cancellations were labeled as being at the request of the patient, whether or not they actually were. This is a potentially huge problem: If it looks like a patient canceled an appointment, the wait time for a new appointment might be different. * Certain medical care such as labwork, X-rays and ultrasound were not counted because they aren’t considered “an occasion of service” by the VA. The OIG, however, counted those canceled appointments. By June 15, 11.2 million appointments had been canceled. If you had an appointment that was canceled, call them back. You’re probably on a to-do list somewhere. Get someone on the phone and get the attention you need. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

North Idaho College is partnering with Heritage Health to offer a new dental hygiene degree program.
Students who complete the two-year program will earn an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene and will be eligible to sit for the national exam to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. Courses will begin in January 2021 at two locations, the NIC main campus in Coeur d’Alene in partnership with Heritage Health, and the Lewis-Clark State College dental clinic on its main campus in Lewiston. “We’re very excited to be partnering with North Idaho College,” said Bill Davenport, the Coeur d’Alene Clinic Director for Heritage Health. “In addition to our space, our staff will be contributing their expertise and knowledge to NIC students. Creating a pipeline of potential employees is a bonus for us and this is about helping our community partner.” NIC students in Coeur d’Alene will use Heritage Health’s dental clinic and equipment after normal business hours throughout the week.
“I think our partnership is a perfect arrangement for the NIC dental hygiene students,” said Janis McClelland, Program Director of the Dental Hygiene program. “The opportunity to work alongside Heritage Health to serve the dentally underserved population of our community is tremendous.” The program will be delivered using online courses, internet video conferencing that allows students from each institution to participate in lectures as a large group, and then lab and clinic time on the respective campuses and in partnership with clinics. McClelland said the hybrid delivery model is unique and has required in-depth development and coordination to achieve initial accreditation status, which was granted last month. “The students will gain valuable clinical experience while providing services that patients would normally have to wait months for,” said McClelland. “This is definitely a fantastic opportunity for our community and our students.” Students will learn a wide array of dental procedures and work on actual patients. These patients will come from a variety of sources,
www.tidbitscda.com
Heritage Health, community dentist referrals, and from the students’ own recruitment of family, friends and community members. Dental screenings will be performed to determine the need for dental care and to provide preventive oral care services. Under the supervision of faculty and dentists, the students will be providing procedures such as radiographs, head and neck oral cancer exams, periodontal assessments, and periodontal treatment in addition to cleanings and polishing, fluoride and desensitizing treatments, dental sealants, sports guards and a complete dental examination. The application process for the Dental Hygiene program closes Thursday, Oct. 8. For more information: dentalhygiene@nic.edu or NIC Health Professions Advisor Betsy Conery at (208) 625-2320, or NIC Dental Hygiene Program Director Janis McClelland at (208) 929-4014.

YOUR VOTE MATTERS
PHOTO: Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda star in “9 to 5” Photo Credit: 20th Century Fox It feels like months since I’ve seen the inside of my office. While I’m grateful that I can work from any space with a power outlet and a pot of reasonable coffee, I miss it. Good relationships, conversation and camaraderie aren’t unattainable in the company of my schooling-from-home kids, but it’s not the same as being shoulder to shoulder with your work fam. But the office ain’t always peaches and sunshine, right? So, here I present a few movies that will nip your office nostalgia in the bud, or at least keep you laughing until life can return to normal. “9 to 5” -- Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda star in this 1980 classic, where three secretaries are terrorized by their boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The women decide to exact their revenge and live out their office fantasies, and while they do it, they transform the office into an engaging, empowering and rewarding place to work. “Office Space” -- Another cult classic that’s swimming in archetypes! Peter (Ron Livingston) can’t stand his soul-sucking corporate job, full of clockwatching and pointless reports. When his therapist dies before he can bring Peter out of hypnosis, the cubicle hero checks out of the rat race without regret, but not before getting recruited into management! But with his cubicle mates facing downsizing, the group hatches a plan to hit the raiders where it hurts -- in the pocketbook. “The Devil Wears Prada” -- She may be classy, but she’s also tongue-lashy. Meryl Streep shines as the hypercritical diva boss Miranda Priestly, a top-echelon fashion editor who takes on Andy (Anne Hathaway) as a personal assistant. The position is prestigious, but it comes with a high personal cost. “Company Men” -- Perhaps a little too on the nose, “The Company Men” underscores how years of service and executive come-ons can amount to very little when profits aren’t what the big dogs want them to be. Ben Affleck plays Bobby, on the express lane to upper management, when his shipping conglomerate goes through a contracture, leaving Bobby, Phil (Chris Cooper) and Gene (Tommy Lee Jones) unemployed with little fanfare. “Horrible Bosses” -- The premise of this quirky and trashy comedy: three men (Jason Sudeikis, Charley Day and Jason Bateman) have bosses (Jennifer Anniston, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell) so highly unpleasant that the best path is to bump them off. Of course, it’s not as easy as it sounds, and all unfolds with hilarious result. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Quarantine Scofflaws Put Us All at Risk
A recent local party was so loud it could be heard nearly a quarter mile away. A curious neighbor got in his car and went to investigate. He reported back that it was a very large gathering of young people in an alley, music echoing off the brick walls, not a mask to be seen, nor any social distancing. The neighbor did a quick calculation and estimated that the crowd had many times more than the restrictions allow. A call to the police netted this sad truth: They really don’t care. The alley party the other night does not bode well for the coming fall. It’s highly likely they were college students, celebrating a return to school. The next days they were in the grocery stores stocking up. (Thankfully there is at least one store in town that insists on the wearing of masks and spacing in lines. The other one’s stated policy is that they are not the police.) We see on the news that tens of thousands of young people are frolicking together on the beach ... and we know the outcomes of those interactions. The virus is going to flourish in those environments, and it will spread even more than it already has, forcing us to stay locked down even longer. While it’s not smart to personally approach those who are violating the rules, we can make calls. Let the store managers know you won’t be shopping in their stores unless they enforce mask and distance rules. Get your neighbors and friends to call as well. Let the town council know the police are not responsive, as well as retail and dining establishments that allow flouting of the rules. Those are a few things we can safely do.

The staff at The Lodge Assisted Living is led by a team of truly gifted, remarkable nurses. Each of our homes as a Registered Nurse on staff. Our nurses bring loving care to each of our residents after combined decades of education and practical experience. They are trained in the most up-todate methods of care and pharmacological support as members of the army of nurses in the United States totally over 3.1 million according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. They have come so very far from the nurses in 1887 featured below. Check out these 9 rules nurses had to follow back in 1887…in addition to taking care of 50 patients: 1. Daily sweep and mop the floors of your ward, dust the patient’s furniture and window sills. 2. Maintain an even temperature in your ward by bringing a scuttle of coal for the day’s business. 3. Light is important to observe the patient’s condition. Therefore, each day fill kerosene lamps, clean chimneys, and trim wicks. Wash the windows once a week. 4. The nurse’s notes are important in aiding the physician’s work. Make you pens carefully; you may whittle nibs to your individual taste. 5. Each nurse on day duty will report every day at 7 AM and leave at 8 PM except on Sabbath on which day you will be off from 12 PM to 2 PM. 6. Graduate nurses in good standing with the director of nurses will be given an evening off each week for courting purposes or two evenings a week if you go regularly to church. 7. Each nurse should lay aside from each pay day a goodly sum of her earning for her benefits during her declining years so that she will not become a burden. For example, if you earn $30 a month you should set aside $15. 8. Any nurse who smokes, uses liquor in any form, gets her hair done at a beauty shop, or frequents dance halls will give the director of nurses good reason to suspect her worth, intentions and integrity. 9. The nurse who performs her labors and serves her patients and doctors faithfully and without fault for a period of five years will be given an increase by the hospital administration of five cents per day. (http://news.shareably.net/nurse-rulelsl- 1887) Thank you, Sharon, Chelsea, and Cyndee…our residents are truly blessed by your presence andcare. At The Lodge Assisted Living Homes we delight in following the examples our nurses set…please call for a tour today. Linda (208-755- 3637)
