• Not all islands are alike! Continental islands lie on the shelf of a continent, for example, Greenland, which lies on the shelf of North America, and Great Britain on that of Europe. Oceanic islands do not sit on a continental shelf. Most, such as the Hawaiian Islands, were formed by volcanic activity. The Hawaiian Islands, a 137-island chain, are the exposed peaks of a massive undersea mountain range. They were visited by British explorer Captain James Cook in 1778, and he dubbed them the Sandwich Islands after his friend, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu.

• Each of the eight main Hawaiian Islands has a nickname. The largest, Hawaii, is of course, the Big Island. Next in size, Maui, is the Valley Isle, followed by Oahu, the Gathering Place. Fourth in size, Kauai is the Garden Isle, Molokai is the Friendly Isle, Lanai is nicknamed the Pineapple Isle, Niihau is the Forbidden Isle, and the smallest of the eight, Kaho’olawe is the Target Isle. • Although Australia is completely surrounded by water, geographically it is considered a continent rather than an island. It’s not only too big to be formally classified as an island, it also sits on its own tectonic plate. Because of this, the title of world’s largest island goes to Greenland, a continental island lying on North America’s continental shelf. • Located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, Greenland has an area of 836,330 square miles (2,166,086 sq. km), with 81% of that area covered by an ice sheet. If that ice sheet were to melt away completely, the sea level of the world would rise by more than 23 feet (7 m). Most of the island’s 57,600 people live along the coasts, the only areas that are ice-free. It’s the most sparsely populated country in the world. Although Greenland’s main export is shrimp, the island is rich in natural resources, including zinc, lead, iron, gold, and platinum. Even diamonds are mined there. • Contrast Greenland’s population of 57,600 in 836,330 square miles with that of Sumatra. Sumatra’s area equals about 21% of Greenland’s, yet this island is home to 50 million people! Located in Indonesia, Sumatra is the world’s sixth largest island, but is the world’s largest volcanic island. • Just south of the Arctic Circle is the second largest volcanic island, Iceland, home to the world’s largest concentration of geysers. Over 14% of its surface is covered by lakes and glaciers, and there are 130 volcanic mountains on the island. Iceland has the second-highest quality of life in the world, as well as one of the world’s highest life expectancies. • Sitting in the mouth of the Amazon River in Brazil is Marajό, the world’s largest island that is completely surrounded by fresh water. It’s about one-third the size of New York state, and compares in size to Switzerland. About 250,000 live on Marajό, which lies right on the equator. • The official name for a group, cluster, or collection of geographically-related islands is archipelago. Familiar archipelagos include the Canary Islands, the Bahamas, the Caymans, Indonesia, the British Isles, and the Philippines. The Philippines consist of more than 7,100 islands. Total land area is about the same as the state of Arizona, yet its population exceeds 97 million people. About 20 measurable
earthquakes occur there daily. Over 170 individual languages are spoken in the Philippines. • The Guinness Book of Records lists Bishop Rock as the world’s smallest island with a building on it. It’s 151 feet (46 m) long by 52.5 feet (16 m) wide and is situated at the end of Britain’s Isles of Scilly, 30 miles from England. Bishop has nothing but an uninhabited 160-ft (49-m) tall lighthouse, completed in 1858. The Rock has been the cause of many shipwrecks over the decades, including one wreck resulting in 2,000 deaths. The lighthouse’s last keepers left in 1992, and it has operated automatically since then. • One of America’s newest national parks is located 60 miles (96 kg) off the coast of southern California. Channel Islands National Park was named such in 1980, and is home to the largest accumulation of blue whales in the world. The last permanent lighthouse in the country was built on the archipelago’s 699-acre Anacapa Island in 1932. • There are 6,852 islands in the nation of Japan. Its capital city Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area in the world with a population of over 30 million people. There are 109 active volcanoes throughout the islands, more than any other country. Its location at the junction of four tectonic plates makes Japan vulnerable to powerful earthquakes and tsunamis. The March, 2011 earthquake, which registered 8.9 on the Richter scale, was the cause of nearly 16,000 deaths. Japan has a 100% literacy rate, one of the world’s highest life expectancies, and a remarkably low crime rate. • From the mid-1700s until the late 1830s, Massachusetts’ Nantucket Island was the whaling capital of the world. About 150 whaling ships made port there during that time. Today this 47.8-sqmile (124 sq. km) island is most famous today as a tourist destination. During the summer months the population swells from 10,000 to 50,000. Its home values are listed as among the highest in the U.S. • Not every island is formed by natural forces. Japan’s Kansai International Airport is located on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, a project that began in 1987. Rock and 48,000 concrete blocks form a seawall around the island, for which three mountains were excavated for the layer of earth over the sea floor. The airport opened in 1994. Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is in the midst of creating the Palm Islands, a chain of artificial islands shaped like palm trees, constructed from sand dredged from the bottom of the Persian Gulf. • An island that has formed on the surface of a coral reef is called a cay, while one that forms by deposits of sediment in a river is called an eyot. A small rocky island, usually too small for habitation, is known as a skerry. ■

For Advertising Call (248) 423-1765 MANHATTAN Although there are more than three dozen islands situated in the waters of New York City, Manhattan is the one we hear the most about. Here are some facts about the smallest of the city’s five boroughs. • About 1.6 million people live in Manhattan, about 70,500 people per square mile. • Manhattan was originally inhabited by the Lenape Indians. It’s believed that explorer Giovanni da Verrazano was the first European to visit the island. But the area was not mapped until after the exploration of Englishman Henry Hudson in 1609. • A Dutch fur trading settlement on neighboring Governors Island was founded in 1624, and the following year, the Dutch began construction of a fort on Manhattan, an island they called New Amsterdam. This 1625 completion is recognized as the birthdate of New York City. • In 1626, the Dutch colonists purchased Manhattan from the Native Americans with trade goods valued at about $24. In modern currency, this would be about $1,000. • The 778-acre Central Park, nestled in the center of Manhattan opened in 1857. Today the park is 840 acres and receives about 35 million visitors every year.
• The opening of the Brooklyn Bridge across the East River in 1883 and the launch of the New York subway system in 1904 revolutionized travel in and out of Manhattan. • In the midst of the Great Depression, New York City was building some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. The Empire State Building was completed in 1931, the Chrysler Building in 1930, and the G.E. Building in 1933. • From 1890 to 1973, Manhattan was home to the tallest building in the world, with nine different buildings owning the title, including the Singer Building, MetLife, the Woolworth and Chrysler buildings, the Empire State Building and the Twin
Towers. The new World Trade Center, scheduled to open next year will stand 1,776 feet (541 m) and will be the tallest skyscraper in the U.S. • Fifth Avenue is lined with prestigious stores, such as Tiffany, Saks Fifth Avenue, Cartier, and Lord & Taylor, and is ranked as one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world. Yet in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, it was flanked by extravagant mansions of the rich and famous, including Andrew Carnegie, William A. Clark, and Cornelius Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt’s home on the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 57th was six stories tall and was and remains the largest private residence ever built in New York City. It was demolished in 1927 and is the current site of the Bergdorf Goodman department store. William A. Clark’s 121-room home cost $7 million to build in 1907 (about $162 million in today’s money), and only stood for 20 years. Only a very few mansions have survived, including Carnegie’s home, which is now the Cooper Hewitt Museum. • The annual New Year’s Eve ball drop took place in Times Square for the first time in 1907, and the celebration has been held every year since. The two largest gatherings in Times Square have been the August, 1945 celebration marking the end of World War II, and the millennial celebration on December 31, 1999. About two million crowded downtown Manhattan to welcome the new century. ■

Try Medicines First for Enlarged Prostate By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
Dear Dr. Donohue: I have to trot to the bathroom many times during the day and many more times at night. Is this due to my prostate gland? I’m 74 and wasn’t bothered by bathroom visits a year ago. Does this mean surgery for me? How do I know if this is prostate cancer? --R.R. Answer: Odds are you have benign prostatic hyperplasia, the official name for a large prostate gland. In their 40s, a quarter of males have a gland that’s larger than normal. In their 70s, 80 percent of men have an enlarged gland. Not all these men have symptoms like repeated trips to the bathroom, a hard time starting the urinary stream and a decrease in the force of the stream. The prostate gland lies directly below the urinary bladder, and the bladder’s drainage tube, the urethra, runs through the gland. A large gland presses on the bladder and obstructs the urethra. That’s why many men with a large gland have to run to the bathroom so often -- they cannot completely empty their bladder. You don’t have to jump to surgery right off the bat. Medicines often solve the problem. One class of medicines stops the forceful bladder

contractions that signal an urgent need to void. Uroxatral, Flomax and Rapaflo are examples of this drug family. Their effect is seen within a week. Another family of drugs shrinks the gland. Avodart and Proscar are two such medicines. Their effect isn’t seen for up to six months. Combining both classes of drug is another method of treatment. If medicine therapy fails, a variety of surgical procedures can remedy the problem. You don’t know if an enlarged gland has cancer cells in it. The PSA blood test, flawed as it is, provides some evidence for cancer. Biopsy of the gland is the ultimate cancer test. A urologist will solve this problem for you. The booklet on prostate enlargement and prostate cancer deals with these common male problems in detail.

whole body in varying sizes, except for on his face. No one else in the family has them. What can be done besides cutting them out?--
M.F.
Answer: Lipomas are mounds of fat encased in a tough covering material. They range in size from a golf ball to two or three times that size. They’re soft, and they are not painful. Surgical removal, at present, provides the best results. If your son has too many for total removal, a select few, the most bothersome ones, can be excised. Research is ongoing to find a substance that will dissolve these fatty tumors. Injection with cortisone medicines can shrink them a bit, but it doesn’t totally get rid of them. The results are somewhat mixed, and it isn’t a popular treatment. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Dear Varsity Lincoln: My family and I drive quite a bit during the holidays, what are some things I can do to make sure we are safe on the road? -Mike G. Plymouth, MI Answer: Holiday events and celebrations can be exciting times for family and friends to get together. But, get-togethers with family and friends can turn into tragedies when people are injured in traffic crashes. Drivers can protect themselves and their passengers by following these holiday rules. • Before you start your trip, make sure your vehicle is tuned up and in good shape for travel. This is especially important for winter driving conditions. • Retrain yourself and passengers properly in seat belts and car safety seats. Remember, the rear seat is the safest place for your children of any age to ride. • Be flexible in setting your travel plans. Leave early if you can to avoid the peak traffic hours. If snow is predicted during the time you plan to travel, change your schedule. • Stay fresh and alert when driving. Take plenty of breaks and do not push yourself to meet an unrealistic schedule. If you get tired, pull off the road into a rest area or business, get out of the car for some fresh air. • Keep your speed down. Give yourself plenty of time and distance to react to the traffic around you. • Do not pass if you cannot see enough clear road to pass safely. • If there will be drinking at your holiday gettogether, choose a designated driver who will remain alcohol free. • Because driving requires your full attention, pull off the road if you have to use your cellular phone. To get a full inspection and tune up, stop by the Varsity Lincoln Service Department. We would be happy to take care of your car, truck or SUV.

Jenny
Dear Jenny: My brother-in-law recently lost his job and is having a hard time finding a new one. My husband has asked me if he can move in with us for a while. Jenny, I am not at all happy about this. His brother is a nice guy but can be rather lazy and..... messy. He has always been the type that relies on everyone else to help him, rather than digging in and accomplishing things on his own. We have been only married for two years and were considering starting our family soon. Am I being selfish for not wanting to help him out? -- Allison Dear Allison: Perhaps selfish is too strong of a term. It is perfectly understandable that you do not want to be placed in a position where your generosity may be taken for granted. However, you must also take a step back and assess the situation with neutral eyes. If you turn your back on a family

member that is truly in need, you may place a greater strain on your marriage than his presence in your home could cause. Is your husband his only option? Are there other family members that could help? Consider the scenario if you say no. Would he be able to find another place to live or would he be in a truly dire situation? You will need to look at all options before making your decision. If you find that you are going to allow him to move in, it is perfectly reasonable to set very specific boundaries and rules that can make the decision easier for you to live with. Discuss your concerns with your husband and work together to create terms that satisfy both of you. Set a deadline clearly stating how long he may stay, and stick to it. Define what he may and may not expect regarding meals, laundry, and sharing of household chores. With open communication, this may turn out better than you think. It may even bring everyone closer for having had the experience. Next month: Is it cheating? She says yes, but he says no. Read about it in January’s column. Do you have a question for Jenny? Send an email to: Editor@TidbitsMi.com
My youngest is born in December. The other day he asked me what his birthstone was. I told him that he was lucky because he could choose from three. His eyes became round as saucers and he asked me which ones – so here’s what I told him. You can choose from Tanzanite, Zircon, or Turquoise. These stones range from the classic Turquoise to modern Tanzanite. Tanzanite was virtually unknown until the late 1960s when Masai herdsmen in eastern Africa noticed bright purple crystals sparkling in the sun. To date, the world’s only source for the gem remains in the north hills of Mount Kiliminjaro in Tanzania. The color ranges from a light, bluish purple to a deep, almost burgundy. I showed him a picture and he said, “That’s my stone, Mama.” “But wait,” I said, “there’s more.” Let’s talk about the next stone – Zircon. The word “zircon” comes from the Arabic words “zar” (gold) and “gun” (color). However, Zircon is found in many colors including: blue, yellow, orange, colorless, and red, which is the most special. Old wives’ tales say Zircon has the power to relieve pain and to protect travelers from disease and injury. It is also supposed to help prevent nightmares and make sure you sleep well. “Oh, so that’s why I can’t sleep.” he said, “I need a Zircon under my pillow.” “Sure, baby.” is all I could say. I could see he was losing patience, so that’s where I stopped... but I will continue here. Turquoise – The name Turquoise is derived from the French expression Pierre tourques or Turkish stone. It originated in the thirteenth century and describes one of the oldest known gemstones. It varies in color from greenish blue to robin’s egg-blue and from translucent to opaque. It is most often used for beads, carvings, and inlays. That’s all I have for this month.... next month I will be talking about Garnet.

Emergency-Room Stay Can Cost a Bundle The length of time you might spend in the emergency room has gotten longer -- and longer -- as many Medicare patients are held under what’s called “observation status.” AARP recently completed a study called “Rapid Growth in Medicare Hospital Observation Services: What’s Going On?” that shows the length of time patients are held that way has grown, sometimes to more than 48 hours. If you’re a Medicare patient, you can be toting up out-of-pocket costs with every passing
A number of senators in Congress have proposed legislation that would require time spent in observation status to count as part of the three-day inpatient requirement. To read the full 25-page report, go to aarp. org and put the study’s title in the search box.

hour you’re held in this medical limbo. There’s no cost-sharing cap with these observation status stays, not to mention that you might not receive the level of care that you should have. As an observation outpatient, you’re liable for the costs of tests and procedures. Additionally, if you end up in skilled nursing, the observation status time you spend in the hospital doesn’t count for the Medicare requirement that you have three days as an inpatient. Your portion of the costs can skyrocket, and you might even be denied skilled nursing care because you weren’t in the hospital long enough as an official inpatient. Here are some specifics from the AARP study: • Observation status stays have increased 94 percent. • Patient status (observation versus inpatient) is sometimes changed by the hospital after the patient is sent home. • The average cost for skilled nursing that Medicare didn’t cover (due to being originally held in observation limbo) was $10,503.
