by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits looks at the noble, fierce little dogs bred to hunt badgers. Dachshund means “badger hound” in German. Affectionately called “wiener dogs,” they can be very comical.

• Dachshunds are good watchdogs because of their loud fierce barks, which, of course, can be annoying at times! They are loved by children because of their size and distinctive cuteness. Even though dachshunds are not known for their ease of training, they are very popular. Some say they are low-slung hounds with big attitudes!

• Dachshunds are exceedingly loyal, protecting their owners in all circumstances, even when confronted by dogs five or more times their size. They are known to be tough, sweet, cuddly, affectionate, courageous, curious and lively and are always ready to make you laugh.

• Illustrations from as far back as the 1500s depict dogs similar to dachshunds. Some historians believe that dachshunds have been around since ancient Egypt.

However, the most widely held story of the funny little “hot dogs” origins is that they were developed in Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were bred to be dogs with excellent digging skills and the ability to chase rabbits, foxes and even more

The American Geriatrics Society Foundation has created a new website just for seniors: Health in Aging. Everything on the site has been written by experts in senior health. That’s good to know, because half of us over the age of 65 have at least three chronic medical conditions.

Here are a few highlights: --The A-to-Z glossary gives easy-to-understand information on a whole alphabet of health conditions.

--You’ll find information about problems that come with aging, news on the latest information about aging and a link on finding a geriatrics health care professional.

--One of the most important sections is on preventing drug interactions. Drugs work differently on seniors, and it’s not always possible to know exactly how an individual will respond to a drug, because most clinical trials are done on healthy, young adults. We

seniors have a different metabolism, less muscle mass, and agerelated variables that can change the rate of absorption. Often, we have multiple medical conditions that can change how a drug will work, especially in combination.

--When it comes to exploring the different types of living arrangements open to us when we need help with daily living, the site outlines assisted living, home care, nursing homes and community-based help, such as adult day care.

--Guidelines for making our wishes known are written in easy-tounderstand language with all the legal terms explained for advance directives (living wills, durable power of attorney for health care and Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment), end-oflife care, guardianship and informed consent.

Health in Aging (HealthinAging.org) is worth exploring and saving for future reference.

Reminder: Have you had your flu shot yet? Ask your doctor if you should have one, and the pneumonia shot as well.

• Traditionally, dachshunds have been seen as a symbol of Germany. During World War I, they were not wanted by the people of England or the United States. Americans began calling the dogs “liberty pups,” and political cartoonists drew dachshunds to ridicule the Germans.

Some dislike for the dogs lingered during World War II but was not as widespread. Their popularity from 1930 to 1940, before and during World War II, actually advanced from 28th to sixth. After the big wars, love for dachshunds became the predominant emotion.

• Dachshunds have been recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) since 1885. Today, they consistently rank in the top 10 breeds for popularity.

• While the most popular dachshunds are black and tan or solid tan (red) in color, many different colors for the breed exist. The reds can vary from strawberry blonde to deep auburn; there are chocolate, crème and gray coats as well. Some interesting colorations are brindles, dapple and piebalds. There are three varieties of dachshund that can be any of the colors: wire-haired, smooth and long-haired.

• The following story has never been confirmed, but it makes for great reading about hot dogs: In 1852, the butcher’s guild in Frankfurt, Germany, developed a smoked, spicy sausage in a casing that resembled the low-riding German Dachshund. It was dubbed the “little-dog” or “dachshund sausage.” Legend says that cartoonist Tad Dorgan was inspired by vendors at a 1901 polo match in New York who offered “redhot dachshund sausages” to fans in the grandstands.

Dorgan drew a smiling dachshund in a long bun for one of his cartoons. He couldn’t spell dachshund, so his caption read “hot dog!”

• There are many famous people who have loved their pet dachshunds. The first (and maybe only) dachshunds to live in the White House belonged to U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Actually, according the New York Times, September 26, 1893 edition, the dogs were a gift for Mrs. Cleveland from the Unites States Consul in Bremen, Germany. They were sent on a 4,000-mile (6,437-km) journey to live at the nation’s capital. Surely that was an entertaining trip for the crew.

• Pablo Picasso painted many canvases and even a lunch plate with the likeness of his dachshund, Lump.

Picasso actually painted a copy of a famous painting by Velazquez, called “Las Meninas.” In Picasso’s version, a large mastiff is replaced by a much smaller dog, Lump!

(Lump is pronounced loomp in German and means “rascal,” appropriate for a dachshund!)

• John Wayne’s family had a dachshund named Blackie who became a hero when he awakened Wayne’s wife during a house fire in 1958 with his tenacious bark.

• The first dachshund in England was owned by Queen Victoria in 1839. Her husband, German Prince Albert, gave her the dog as a gift and soon brought more of

the puppies to the country. The breed quickly gained popularity and was recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1877.

• Gergweis, Germany, the “Dachshund Capital of the World,” once had so many dachshunds that they outnumbered people two to one. They were used as a tourist attraction!

• All three “Toy Story” movies have had a “Slinky” dachshund in them who has been a big hit with kids and adults alike. The second movie actually had a real dachshund puppy in it, Buster, who helped save a toy taken to a yard sale.

• There are some exciting “wiener dog” events around the world that draw crowds for fun and laughter as the popular little dogs entertain. Even when dachshunds don’t intend to entertain, they are entertaining!

• The 20th Annual Weiner Walk and Dachshund Picnic was held at Winskill Park in Tsawwassen, British Columbia in August. Some years have seen as many as 300 dog lovers and their canines. The event is put on by the Western Dachshund Club and includes walks around the park, a costume parade and contest, contests for best trick, longest dog, oldest dog and more. As could be expected, there are drinks and snacks for sale, including hot dogs!

• Dachshund Races are fun events that can be found in numerous places. Dachshund lovers as well as those who just want to enjoy the comedy of the sight gather to watch the large races that are part of the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals in Buda, Texas; Los Alamitos, California; Findlay, Ohio; and San Diego, California. If you missed these big events this year, don’t worry, the finals are held prior to the Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade in December before the Holiday Bowl. The finalists get to be in the parade on the Wienerschnitzel float.

(Wienerschnitzel is a chain of hot dog restaurants that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011.)

• The Dachshund Club of America opposes “wiener racing,” because many of the events precede greyhound races, which are abusive to greyhounds. Also, racing can lead to back injuries in dachshunds.

Take Hike to Enjoy Change of Seasons

Enjoy the changing of seasons from summer to fall by hiking and walking after school, after work and on Saturday mornings. And do it as a family. When you get moving together, you’ll not only feel better, but you’ll make special memories as you discover the fascinating world that is in constant motion right out your front door.

Lace up your most comfortable shoes and put an extra kick in your step with these ideas: Hike for ABCs Before your first outing, find a medium-size spiral notebook your family can use as a nature journal. Let your kids decorate the cover and mark one letter of the alphabet at the top of every left-hand page. The space leaves two pages for your family to enter sights, sounds and observations you encounter on your walk that start with a specific letter.

You’ll soon discover that the ABCs exist just about everywhere.

For example, you might spot a round “O” shaped bird nest tucked in a “Y” shaped tree branch. A cattail in a swamp looks like a dotted “I” and a root protruding through your path might look like a gnarly “D.” For a hard-to-find letter, search for it on license plates, ask permission and then help your child make a rubbing, using a piece of paper and a dark crayon.

When you get back home, glue or tape flat finds and sketches to the pages, and compose a poem or a little story about what you saw.

Park and Walk A friend once gave me this advice: “When going on an errand, take a child!” So this fall, include your child often when you do Saturday errands to the hardware store, dry cleaners, farmer’s market and wherever else your to-do list takes you. These mini “family errand” field trips provide natural opportunities for learning, communicating and sharing about how things work in a community.

If these destinations are near your home, walk there together. If they are far from home, park in a spot farther away from where you are headed. You’ll get your extra walking in, avoid congestion and enjoy the benefit of driving out of the lot easily when you leave.

GI Bill Rates Up The rates for education benefits went up as of Oct. 1, as they do every year. This includes Montgomery GI Bill Active Duty, Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve and the Reserve Educational Assistance Program, as well as the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program.

For example, the rate for Montgomery active-duty full-time institutional training (after an enlistment of at least three years) has gone from $1,473 to $1,564 per month. The rate after an enlistment of less than three years goes from $1,196 to $1,270.

If you want to further your education but don’t know which avenue to pursue (full time, part time, campus living, on-the-job training or other options), go online to www.gibill.va.gov, click Resources, Benefit Resources and then Benefit Comparison Tools. It says right on the top of the page that for some veterans, the Post-9/11 GI Bill is a better deal than the Montgomery bill or any of the others. (Read the fine print: If you served for less than the full 36 months, you’ll receive a percentage of the benefits.)

Look at the comparison chart and weigh the benefits of each option: how the payments are made, the duration of the payments (how long your benefits are good), requirements of your service and the maximum number of months of benefits.

Then look at the Comparison of Monetary Benefits for specifics on what and who gets paid, you or the school.

To start assembling information, click Resources and then Student handouts, brochures and regulations.

You’ll find pamphlets and fact sheets that cover dozens of areas.

If you don’t have a computer and can’t use one at a library, call the VA at 1-800-827-1000 for general information about education benefits. Or call the number for the GI Bill at 1-888-442-4551.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that onthe-job problem.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your objectivity and avoid showing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

In the Big 12, offense shouldn’t be a problem when No. 8 West Virginia visits No. 11 Texas.

Alabama is a unanimous No. 1 and LSU slipped another spot in The Associated Press college football poll.

Add to that No. 9 Notre Dame facing Miami (4-1) in Chicago, and No. 3 Florida State playing at North Carolina State, and there is no doubt the top 10 will look very different next Sunday -- with one exception.

What is an Amateur Golfer?

By Graham Johns

To an outsider looking in, what makes up an amateur golfer may be ambiguous and mystifying. It’s more than a simple definition; however, and one looking at joining the amateur circuit needs to be aware that it is more than simply expanding on their hobby. A simple definition of an amateur is a participant who plays for enjoyment and does not receive payment in cash or kind as a reward. But that is not a total definition of an amateur golfer. It’s important to note that there is an actual definition of an amateur player according to the United States Golf Association. An amateur player reaches that status first by reaching what is known as golf skill. Golf skill is assessed by a player’s success at a competitive level. The level of competition can be local or national; the important aspect is that the player is successful competitively. Once a player has success in competitions and is recognized as having golf skill, this is known as golf reputation. Again, a reputation can only be gained through actual playing and recognition of golf skill. Simply being associated with the game of golf, administering tournaments or being an instructor does not gain a player reputation or skill. After achieving a level of reputable golf skill and establishing a status, an amateur may become an amateur player. This is a player that does not yet play for money and does not accept money for teaching the sport of golf. An amateur player may not claim to be a pro golfer, either, and may not engage in any action that would credit them in the same fashion as a professional player.

Breaking this code of ethics would also include accepting any endorsements from commercial groups, allowing names or likenesses to appear for commercial purposes, or entering into professional agreements with sponsors or agents. Finally, an amateur player is not allowed to apply for membership to any organization for professional players. Of course, there are exceptions for every rule, and amateur golf is no exception. An amateur player is allowed to apply for an assistant professional player. They are also allowed to enter and play in a tournament or competition that will lead to play in a professional competition. The only difference in play between them and a professional player is that an amateur player must forfeit all rights to any prize monies that they could potentially win. The rules and exceptions of amateur golf play are numerous, but the most important factor of note throughout the process is that becoming an amateur golfer can be relatively simple.

Becoming an amateur golfer is, however, only for those that take the sport of golf seriously and not for those that want to make a quick splash as a pro. With the comprehensive rules of payment and expenses as they are, making a career as an amateur is simply downright impossible. Becoming one, though, is directed aptly towards those that are game for competition and those that are looking to strike their golf game up to the next level of such competition. As with any sport, becoming well-versed in the rules and regulations of the governing body is of utter importance.

Read and familiarize the USGA regulations prior to making any significant decisions towards amateur golf.

¥ On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorizes construction and administration of the first American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the first commanderin-chief of the Continental Navy. His first fleet consisted of seven ships: two 24-gun frigates, two 14-gun brigs and three schooners. ¥ On Oct. 12, 1786, a lovesick Thomas Jefferson composes the first of many romantic letters to a married woman named Maria Cosway. In 1789, his letters grew less frequent. She continued to write to him and vented her frustration at his growing aloofness. After her husband died, Cosway moved to a village in Italy to open a convent school for girls. ¥ On Oct. 11, 1793, the death toll from a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia hits 100.

Yellow Jackets, Hornets and Wasps, Oh My!

Yellow Jackets, hornets and paper wasps are a growing health threat in our area. Allergic reactions to their venom claim hundreds of lives in the U.S. every year. Far more dangerous than honey bees, these insects are often aggressive and unpredictable; most require professional assistance. All have the same life cycle, similar diet and smooth, venomous stingers. This gives them the ability to sting many times in one attack. The biggest difference is the size of their nests. Some have only a dozen members while others can number in the thousands this time of year.

Yellow jackets nests can grow quite large, each hive may reach thousands of insects. They often nest in the ground making them difficult to detect, but have been known to nest in eaves, old rodent burrow, wall voids, attics, even cars! When one of their members is in danger, they emit an “I’m In Trouble” tone and the colony comes to assist! Having such a large population of aggressive insects is not something you want to pursue (or be pursued by!) on your own. This is a job for the professionals.

Hornets Similar to yellow jackets, they have slightly different colorings.

Their nests resemble a large inverted teardrop shaped ball, usually attached to a tree, bush or side of a building. Hive members can number in the thousands by late summer to fall, they will defend the nest quite viciously. Seek out professional advice on extermination. It may be small enough to do it yourself or too large to handle. You don’t want to make any mistakes when dealing with hornets.

Mosquito Emergency Hotline 251-967-1053

Paper wasps are the least problematic; we can offer do it yourself information. While they also defend their nests, they can be treated with wasp freeze. The nest numbers are smaller; many contain less than a dozen insects. They tend to nest near and around homes, close to human activity. Use wasp freeze that reaches 15-20 feet, standing off to the side as the wasps will fall and you don’t want to be inadvertently stung. Once treated, simply sweep or scrape off the upside down umbrella shaped nest and dispose of it to prevent secondary pest invaders seeking the larva delicacy! Remember that all these wasp types will sting you if provoked. Carry an EpiPen if you know you are allergic. People who experience allergic reactions should seek medical attention immediately.

Products, education and experts can be found at Household’s Do It Yourself Store, located 2 miles N of South Baldwin Hospital, across the street from Hood’s Home Center.
