TIDBITS® GOES SHOPPING AT SOME FAMOUS RETAILERS, PT. 1 by Kathy Wolfe
Where do North Americans spend their money? This week, Tidbits looks into the history of some of our most famous merchants. Part Two will appear next week. • In 1907, Herbert Marcus founded a new business in Dallas, Texas, with his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband. They had a large amount of money available to invest, and chose to open a top-quality clothing store, turning down an opportunity to purchase a franchise for a new fountain drink called Coca-Cola. Within a few weeks, the store had completely sold out of its merchandise, as wealthy Texans hurried to purchase the store’s stylish fashions. In 1913, a fire destroyed the store and all of its inventory. Seventeen days later, a temporary store opened, and in 1914, it was rebuilt, and remains the location of their flagship store. • In 1926, Neiman-Marcus became the nation’s first store to feature a weekly fashion show, held in Dallas’ Baker Hotel. Between 1942 and 1944, their sales ballooned from $6 million to $11 million. It wasn’t until 1957 that a store was opened outside the Dallas area, when they expanded to downtown Houston. It took until 1971 to expand outside the state of Texas, when the Bal Harbour, Florida store was opened. Today there are 41 Neiman-Marcus stores in 19 states. turn the page for more!

Springtime Dangers
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Yesterday, I took my dog “Chip” for a walk without his booties or sweater, because we finally had a day that was somewhat warm. However, when he ran over to a melting snow pile beside the sidewalk, he cut his front paw on a piece of metal that was jutting out of the snow. He’s doing OK after an emergency trip to the vet. Can you warn readers that even if winter is ending, there are still dangers out there for pets? -- Gavin, via email DEAR GAVIN: Absolutely! I’m glad Chip is doing OK, and hope he recovers quickly. Early spring presents a whole new set of hazards for pets outdoors, so they should never be unsupervised -- even in a fenced yard. Debris that surfaces from under melting snow, such as Chip encountered, is one hazard. Pets also may try to chew on or ingest debris.
Snow piles, particularly plow piles, often have tempting garbage interspersed throughout. New plant growth is another danger: Winter winds and weather can bring seedlings from a variety of plants into your yard. Some can be poisonous to pets. Keep dogs and cats away from weeds or sprouting plants and remove unfamiliar or unwanted plants before they take deeper root. In colder climates, keep booties on your dog even if the temperature is above freezing. The ground beneath the sidewalk may still be frozen, and that can damage their paw pads. I don’t want to make owners paranoid. Enjoy the nicer weather with your pet, but stay practical about their health and safety as the season changes. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com.

RETAILERS, PT. ONE (continued): • Bean marketed his boots by mailing flyers to hunting license holders, and was quickly inundated with 100 orders. Unfortunately, he experienced quality issues when the rubber bottoms separated from the leather tops. Ninety out of 100 pairs were returned. Bean borrowed money to refund each pair 100% and to correct the problem. •
By 1934, L.L. Bean had moved into a 13,000-sq.-ft factory and was close to the $1 million sales mark. His three-page flyer had grown into a 52-page catalog. More than 70% of Freeport, Maine’s mail was generated by L.L. Bean. In 1951, L.L. Bean “threw away the keys” to his store, changing operating hours to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their current 220,000 sq. ft. store continues the same hours, greeting more than three million visitors annually. The same 100% guarantee continues as it has from the day L.L Bean opened his company. Annual sales now exceed $1.5 billion.
• One of the nation’s top ten retailers isn’t located in a store – it’s Amazon, the largest internetbased company in the nation. Founder Jeff Bezos founded the company in 1994, working out of his Bellevue, Washington, garage. He called his company “Cadabra,” but changed it to Amazon the following year, believing that Cadabra sounded too much like “cadaver.” He also wanted his company to start with the letter “A,” since it would be at the top of any alphabetized internet search. It started out as an online bookstore, but Bezos soon made up a list of the five products with the most potential, which included CD’s, computer hardware and software, videos, and books. Today, Amazon’s global headquarters take up 14 buildings in Seattle with annual sales of about $75 billion.

791 E Main Street, Jackson, OH Historic Newspapers
Q: I have a collection of newspapers covering the deaths of Princess Diana and John Kennedy, Jr. I also have several issues about the Boston Red Sox 2005 season and special Jackie Kennedy tribute editions. Thanks for any information. -Dorothy, Coventry, Rhode Island A: The newspapers you have would probably retail for less than $25 each. Even though you didn’t list the names of the papers, I assume all were published in the United States. Certain French and British editions covering the death of Princess Diana command higher prices and are considered more collectible. A good source for historic papers is Timothy Hughes, P.O. Box 3636, Williamsport, PA 17701; tim@rarenewspapers.com; and www.rarenewspapers.com. *** Q: I have a painting on oil cloth of a dancing girl with veils painted in such a way that it looks several dimensions deep. It is old, but I can’t find an artist’s signature. What can you tell me about it? -- Beverly, New Smyrna, Florida A: This technique is called “gouache,” sometimes spelled “gauche.” Although in some ways it is similar to watercolor, it is different in that the materials used are modified so that the ratio of pigment to water is increased. This gives the piece a much
greater reflective quality and is why your dancing girl appears to be layered, because technically it is. To find out about the value of your artwork, you should consult a professional art appraiser. *** Q: I have inherited a 1957 Chrysler 300 automobile. I do not plan to sell it but would like to find other owners so I can learn more about this model of Chrysler. -- Ed, Memphis, Tennessee A: One of the better groups is the Chrysler 300 Club International, Inc, for owners of the 1955-65 automobiles. Contact is P.O. Box 40, Benson, MD 21018. *** Q: While cleaning out my mom’s storage area, I found an Avon bottle, “Aladdin’s Lamp.” I’ve been told that many of the Avon bottles have become quite collectible. Please advise. -- Carole Ann, Homestead, Florida A: Your Avon bottle was issued in 1974, and according to several guides I consulted, is worth only about $6. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

* You probably won’t be surprised to learn that when author (and noted wit) Oscar Wilde arrived in the United States in 1882, he told the customs officers, “I have nothing to declare except my genius.” * A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. * If you’re planning a summer vacation in Maine this year, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s against the law to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather duster. * Despite the fact that 95 percent of the world uses the metric system of measurement, we in the United States still stubbornly cling to the archaic units of measurement derived from the old British Imperial system. This hodgepodge ranges from the mile (originally the distance a Roman soldier could march in 1,000 double steps) to the foot (originally the length of Emperor Charlemagne’s foot, later “standardized” to the length of 35 barleycorns laid end to end) to a yard (the distance between King Henry I’s nose to his extended fingertips) to an inch (the length from the tip to the first joint of a man’s thumb). * Brazil nuts do come from Brazil, but they’re not technically nuts; they’re seeds.

RETAILERS, PT. ONE (continued): • Rowland Hussey Macy opened four dry goods stores between 1843 and 1855, all of which, unfortunately, failed. Macy made the move to New York City in 1858 and opened a store on Sixth Avenue. His first day’s sales were $11.08 (about $301.47 today). Macy’s moved to a new store in 1902, a building that is now a National Historic Landmark. The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade started in 1924, with its trademark giant balloons making their debut in 1927, with Felix the Cat as the first. By 1933, more than a million people lined the parade route. As popularity grew, more balloons were added – Mickey Mouse in 1934, Superman in 1939, Popeye in 1976, and Hello Kitty in 1976. High winds on Thanksgiving Day, 1997, pushed the Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost, with the resulting debris striking a spectator, fracturing her skull, and leaving her in a coma for a month. • Kroger’s, the country’s largest supermarket chain, got its start in 1883, when Barney Kroger invested everything he had, $375 (about $9,400 in today’s money) to open a grocery store in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had dropped out of school at 13 to help support his family when their dry goods store went bankrupt. He sold coffee and tea door-to-door until he was 20, when he became manager of a local grocery store. At 24, he opened the Great Western Tea Company and soon had four stores, later changing the name to Kroger’s. His success came by eliminating the middleman by providing as much of his own product as possible. In 1901, his stores were the first to bake their own bread, and three years later, they were the first to include meat departments in grocery stores. Years later, in 1972, Kroger was the first grocery store to test electronic scanners. Today, there are 2,600 stores in 34 states, generating annual sales of close to $100 billion.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: EDDIE BAUER Eddie Bauer isn’t just a well-known, profitable retailer at the mall. Bauer was an avid outdoorsman who started selling sporting goods in a tiny Seattle store, as well as a renowned inventor. Take a look at the history of this man and his accomplishments. • Born in 1899 to Russian immigrants, Eddie Bauer lived in a log cabin on Orcas Island, Washington, off the northwestern coast. Eddie learned to hunt and fish on the island at a young age. Dropping out of school after the eighth grade, he took a job at a Seattle sporting goods store as an errand and stock boy. Here he learned how to make fishing poles and lures, and how to refinish golf clubs and tennis rackets. By age 18, he was a department manager and was in charge of the front window displays. • At 21, Eddie branched out on his own, renting a tiny space for $15 a month, naming his business “Eddie Bauer’s Tennis Shop,” where he intended to string rackets during the summer, while still leaving time for his beloved hunting and fishing during the colder months. A brisk business enabled him to expand his shop the following year, to which he added equipment for fishing, trapping, and golfing. • Between 1934 and 1937, Bauer received more than 20 patents, including his first on a shuttlecock for badminton. In 1936, he patented the Skyliner, a down-filled jacket that was a huge seller. After experiencing hypothermia on a fishing trip, Bauer patent the first quilted down jacket in 1940.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 EDDIE BAUER (continued): • Bauer became famous in 1942 when the U.S. Army Air Corps commissioned him to create a jacket to keep World War II pilots warm at high altitudes, a parka that was to become known as the Bomber Jacket. Eddie Bauer also supplied backpacks, pants, and sleeping bags, which were standard issue for American troops. More than 50,000 flight parkas and 100,000 sleeping bags were sold to the armed forces. Eddie Bauer was the first independent company that the U.S. Army allowed to use their own logo on an Army-issued uniform. • After the war, Eddie Bauer created a catalog that was mailed to 14,000 soldiers who had worn his products during their service. His mail order business was an immediate success, and he added women’s clothing to his catalog. By 1949, the company had 125 seamstresses. • Over the next several years, Bauer continue to invent clothing for extreme weather conditions. During the 1950s, he outfitted several expeditions, including a 1953 climbing expedition to the top of K2 and several journeys through Antarctica. He developed parkas with a rip-stop nylon shell for climbers scaling Gasherbrum, the world’s 11th highest mountain. Jim Whittaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, was also outfitted in Eddie Bauer outerwear. • Eddie Bauer sold his interest in the company in1968 and retired, taking up dog breeding, and enjoying the great outdoors as he had his entire life. The company continued to prosper, partnering with the Ford Motor Company in 1983 to manufacture Eddie Bauer Ford Limited Edition vehicles.

SEARS & ROEBUCK
Back in 1886, Richard Sears worked as a station agent for the railroad in Minnesota. On the side, he sold lumber and coal to the locals for extra cash. When a shipment of watches for the community’s jeweler was refused, Sears bought them himself and sold them to other station agents along the railroad line. He ordered another batch of watches, which he promptly sold and soon after, he established the R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis. • Within a year, Sears moved his business to Chicago. Badly in need of an assistant, he ran a classified ad in the newspaper for a “watchmaker with references who can furnish tools.” A young man named Alvah Roebuck answered the ad, and soon the pair, both in their twenties, established what would become America’s leading retailer. • The first Sears catalog was published in 1888, an 80-page circular that catered especially to farmers, who could purchase supplies much cheaper by mail than from their rural general store. Six years later, the Sears catalog was 322 pages, and offered bicycles, farm implements, furniture, saddles, sewing machines, and sporting goods. In 1905, a person could even buy an automobile from the Sears catalog. • In 1893, after six years in business, Sears’ annual sales exceeded $400,000. Just two years later that number had grown to $750,000. By 1941, annual sales were closing in on $1 billion. • In 1906, the first Sears Tower opened in Chicago, a 14-story structure constructed as part of their catalog facility. A large part of the company’s 22,000 employees were housed in the Tower. That building still stands proudly in Chicago as part of the National Register of Historic Places, and is undergoing an extensive remodel.

At 1,454 feet (442 meters) it was the world’s tallest building at completion, a title it held for 25 years. It remains the second-tallest building in the U.S., and the eighth-tallest in the world. The building required 76,000 tons of steel, 2 million cubic feet of concrete, 1,500 miles (2,414 km) of electrical wiring, and 80 miles (129 km) of elevator cable. Sears sold the building in 1993, and today it is known as Willis Tower. • From 1908 to 1940, Sears sold about 100,000 ready-to-assemble kit houses from 447 different housing designs. The kits were shipped by rail, with the average home containing 25 tons of materials and over 30,000 parts. In 1914, the price ranged from $550 up to $2,900. The top of the line home in 1920 cost $4,300. By 1940, when Sears discontinued the homes, there were still plenty of homes to be had for under $2,000. • In 1989, Walmart grabbed the title of America’s largest retailer. In 1993, the famous Sears catalog was discontinued due to sinking profits. In 2004, Sears was purchased by K-Mart and the company became Sears Holdings. It remains the twelfth-largest retailer in America.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an old man (84) with a middle-age paunch (5 feet, 7 inches tall and weigh 200 pounds) who needs to fit into a suit with pants an inch too tight in time for a wedding in a few weeks. About how many pounds do I need to lose to fit into them? Is there any formula for converting waist inches to pounds? And are there exercises or other means to focus the weight loss on belly fat? -Anon. ANSWER: I am afraid there’s no formula. Further, I have to tell you that weight doesn’t always come off where we want it to, and specific exercises aren’t going to make the fat come off in those locations. The good news is that for most people, especially men, the first 10 pounds or so to come off usually comes from the middle. The fat in the omentum (an apron-shaped structure inside the abdomen) is metabolically active and often is the first place where fat is gained or lost. Moreover, that fat is the most likely to increase risk of heart disease. So losing weight around your middle is a good way of improving overall health, especially if you have more inches there than you’d like. Often people start a healthy diet and exercise program and find that the waist size decreases but their weight stays the same. That may be because muscle is much heavier than fat, and the increase in muscle mass makes up for the loss of fat. More muscle is good for you; less body fat is good for you. Weight is an imperfect measure. Liposuction can remove fat from around your waist, but a healthy diet and regular exercise will make you feel better and quite possibly live longer. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I injured my little finger in an athletic event. The end of my pinky pointed in toward the ring finger. It is black and blue, and swollen. Do you think I fractured it? Should I get an X-ray? I am still able to curl my finger. -- A.J. ANSWER: It’s most likely that you damaged one of the tendons in the finger. Sometimes a fracture can happen at the same time. Most often, these are treated conservatively, with ice right after the injury and the finger splinted in a straight position for up to six weeks. Only an experienced physician, such as a hand surgeon, can provide exact recommendations. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: When you are instructed to take medicine, vitamin, etc., on an empty stomach, how long after eating should you wait? Also, if taken before eating, how long after you take the medication until you can eat? -- B.H. ANSWER: It depends on the particular medication. For example, the osteoporosis drug alendronate (Fosamax) should be taken after an overnight fast, with plain water (even mineral water can affect its absorption) and then no food for a half hour. Different medications have different requirements. Your pharmacist remains your best resource, and often has both more training and experience than doctors. In general, most vitamins should be taken with food. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Bicycle shop owner brothers Orville and Wilber Wright had long been testing theories of powered flight and on this day, their hard work paid off. Orville piloted the first flight that lasted only 12 seconds and covered a mere 130 feet, but their theory was proven. Powered flight was possible. Their success gave them the courage to take three more flights that day. However, the brothers did not just jump in their bi-winged motor powered creation and take off. They spent years testing their theories in a make-shift wind tunnel in their home in Dayton, Ohio and in 1902 they made more than 700 successful glider flights. This gave them the information they needed to tweak their contraption, and take the next step: fit it with an engine and make it fly. But no automobile manufacturer had an engine light enough and powerful enough for them to use, so they designed their own light weight 25 horsepower engine that powered two propellers through an innovative chain and sprocket assembly. Finally their fateful day came when all of their theories, all of their planning, all of their experimenting, and all of their hard work would come together. The engine was started by hand, Orville took his seat between the propellers, a heavy lead weight on a tower was tethered to the front of the plane and upon Orville’s signal, was dropped. The rope tightened, the plane lurched forward, the engine roared and the first
powered air flight happened. Previous to their successful flight, many of the theories they had tested proved to not work. Many did. Knowing the difference made the difference. They took what they knew worked and worked to make history. Every idea you have, every dream you imagine requires testing: Will it work or not? Can it actually be done? What have I missed? Who can help me make it work? What else needs to be considered? As the Wright brothers discovered, reality is a two-sided coin: Sometimes it pokes you the eye and hurts like the dickens. Sometimes it shocks you by showing you just how good you are. The good news about reality is that when you find out what works and what does NOT work, you are far ahead of anyone else, and there is only one way to find out – take action. What ideas, what dreams are you hiding in your heart? What plans do you have that are on paper but have never been put to the test? Proceed forward. Get out and try something new. Test them in the light of day. Do NOT fear failure, but see failure as a lesson in life. Nothing significant has ever been accomplished by writing a business plan, talking for hours, praying for help, forecasting results, and analyzing and measuring until the cows come home. Significance happens when action is taken and you find out how much you know, what you can do and how much more that must be done.

RIVER VALLEY BAKERY Fresh Baked
With the long freeze and snowy conditions that the eastern part of the country has dealt with this winter, it may be hard to believe that spring is on its way. But in southerly parts, signs of spring are already appearing. Regardless of whether you’re still shoveling snow, or watching buds blossom, it’s time to start preparing for the busy spring season. Here are a few things to add to your to-do list over the next few weeks: * Take stock: Check your garage or storage shed to make sure you have all the tools and supplies needed to prep the lawn and garden. Things like grass seed for treating brown or thin spots, fertilizer, and lawn tools like thatchers and rakes. * Prepare your lawnmower and power tools: Make sure the mower is assembled, that blades are sharp and that you have fresh fuel on hand. Check that power tools like edgers, blowers, string trimmers and hedge trimmers are in good shape. * Turn your compost pile: Or, if you don’t have one, start one. It won’t be ready for early spring but could be usable in the summer to help along your vegetable garden. * Get outdoor furniture ready: Whether your patio furniture is stored or sturdy enough to sit outside all winter, check it for damage and clean off dirt, mineral scaling or other crud. * Check window and door screens: Replacing a torn or ratty screen is one of the easiest and most affordable DIY jobs. * Inspect your lawn for damage: Freezing weather, icy patches and salt-burnt edging are among the problems homeowners often find after the snow melts. You can begin patching up damaged areas even before the last hard frost. * Make a budget: List the supplies and tools you need, plus repairs. Also budget how much time you can dedicate to home and garden work this year. TIP: Help salt-damaged grass and plants recover by watering them thoroughly once the weather is consistently above freezing, then reseeding and treating with appropriate fertilizer. Send your home tips and questions to ask@ thisisahammer.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Smoked Ham with Strawberry Sauce Perfect for a buffet any time of year. We created this impressive glazed ham for winter entertaining, but it has become an Easter favorite as well. 1 (12-pound) smoked whole ham, fully cooked 3 pints strawberries 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 jar (10- to 12-ounce) orange marmalade Radish sprouts or watercress sprigs, for garnish 1. Remove skin and trim some fat from smoked whole ham, leaving about 1/4 inch fat. With knife, score fat covering on ham crosswise, just through to the meat, into 1-inch-wide strips. Place ham on rack in large roasting pan (about 17-by-11 1/2 inches). Insert meat thermometer into center of ham, being careful that pointed end does not touch bone. Bake ham in 325 F oven 3 to 3 1/2 hours until thermometer reaches 140 F (15 to 18 minutes per pound). If ham browns too quickly, cover with a tent of foil. 2. About 30 minutes before ham is done, prepare strawberry sauce: Reserve 1 pint strawberries for garnish. Hull remaining strawberries. In 3-quart saucepan with potato masher or back of slotted spoon, mash strawberries. Stir in brown sugar, cornstarch, salt and orange marmalade; cook over medium heat until mixture thickens slightly and boils, stirring frequently. 3. To serve, place ham on warm large platter. Arrange radish sprouts and reserved whole strawberries around ham. Serve with strawberry sauce. Makes 24 servings. * Each serving: About 240 calories, 7g total fat, 60mg cholesterol, 1,770 sodium.

Credit Report Changes a Win for Consumers If you’ve ever struggled to have incorrect credit information fixed at one of the big three credit bureaus, or if you’ve been turned down for credit or housing due to that bad information, you’ll appreciate the changes that are coming. The attorney general for the state of New York has negotiated consumer protections with the big three credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Those changes eventually will apply in the other states. Here are some highlights of the changes that are coming: * You’ll have a say. In the past, credit bureaus have simply taken the word of banks, lenders and creditors that you owed a certain amount of money ... even if you didn’t. Consumers were left to work through the automated maze to try to get corrections made. Now, if you dispute something on your credit report, the bureaus will be required to use specially trained employees to check the information. * You can submit documentation online. Best bet: Don’t. Send paper copies by mail. Choices in the drop-down online menus might be limiting. * You can get an extra free updated report if changes have been made after dispute resolution. To get your first free annual reports, go to www.AnnualCreditReport.com, or call (877) 322-8228. Hint: Order one every quarter from a different credit bureau. * One of the biggest changes involves medical bills. Far too many consumers with perfect credit have seen their credit scores plunge when they’ve been hit with medical bills. From delays in insurance company payments to medical providers, to needing payment plans to cover large expenses, it’s been too easy for credit scores to take a hit ... when the only thing that ever went wrong was that someone got sick. Now the credit bureaus won’t put any medical debt on a credit report for 180 days. And here’s a bonus: If a delinquency has been reported from medical debt, once that debt is paid, it will disappear from the credit report and not linger for long periods as happens with other types of debt. To read more about the coming changes, go to the New York attorney general’s website at www.ag.ny.gov and click Media Center, then Press Releases, and scroll down to the article.

A Woman’s Guide to Social Security Sixty percent of people receiving Social Security are women, and the Social Security Administration has put together information that is specific to us. Here are a few things from its booklet, “What Every Woman Should Know”: * Women who haven’t worked can be covered by a spouse’s benefits as early as age 62. * Women who are divorced can claim benefits on their former spouse’s Social Security. File for both your own and his to see which will get the most money. If your divorced spouse is still working, you can claim your own benefits now and then see which are higher when he retires. Or you can claim his benefits now if he is retired and continue working, letting your own credits add up until you retire. (Beware: You’ll pay $1 for every $2 over the allowed maximum earned, which is $15,720 for 2015.) * The number of years a woman has to have been married before divorce is 10 years. You must wait two years to claim his benefits. * If you’re a widow, you can get benefits at age 60 or older as long as you don’t remarry before reaching that age. * If you’re been abused and need to flee and hide, Social Security will issue you a new number as long as you have proof. * Be absolutely certain that your name, Social Security number and earnings are correct on your W-2 form. When you receive your annual statement, check it carefully, especially the earnings. For more information, read and print out the 24-page booklet online at www.ssa.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10127.pdf to make sure you don’t miss any benefits, or see www.socialsecurity.gov/women.

Toxins at Fort Mac We have another Camp LeJeune on our hands. Veterans who served at the U.S. Marine Corps base in North Carolina have been getting sick for decades. So have their children. Now we have Fort McClellan, the Army chemical school in Alabama, and the stories are coming out: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), radiation, depleted uranium, mustard gas and more ... leading to cancer, arthritis, autoimmune disease, diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia and multiple miscarriages. And it’s hitting the second generation, the children of those veterans. Reading the veterans’ stories on Internet, a common theme emerges: Their civilian doctors can’t figure out the cause of their strange combination of illnesses, but say they appear to be caused by exposure to chemical toxins. Fort Mac was mothballed in 1999 and is considered a superfund site. For years, small pockets of information surfaced around the country, but the Department of Veterans Affairs wasn’t listening, if the stories of veterans are accurate. As is standard, it was left to the veterans to try to prove they were sick because of toxin exposure at Fort Mac. Hearing those stories, Congressman Paul Tonko tried and failed numerous times to get the Fort McClellan Health Registry Act passed. He’s going to try again. Ideally, the VA would share information on its website about toxic exposure at Fort Mac. It would be a step, but the Fort Mac illnesses likely will go the way of Agent Orange: years of pushing to get it called presumptive. Don’t hold your breath on getting notification from the VA, at least not until Tonko’s bill is passed. If you were stationed at Fort Mac and are sick, go here: www.fortmcclellantoxicexposure.com, or search online for Fort McClellan toxins.

* Quinoa is becoming really popular as a grain alternative. It’s very small and requires rinsing before cooking to remove potentially bitter residue. Here’s a great trick to rinse your quinoa without losing half of it to the holes in your colander: Use a French press coffeemaker. The fine mesh and pouring spout make rinsing a breeze. Ð JoAnn * To halve a lot of cherry tomatoes, try sandwiching them between two plastic lids. Press down lightly and slice through the opening to make short work of them. * Keep your crisper drawer clean by lining with fresh newspaper. It will absorb smells and liquid, and can be easily replaced. * “Candle nubs, that little bit left when the candle has burned down all the way, can be removed from a candleholder by setting the whole thing in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. The wax surface hardens and shrinks, making it easier to chip out. The same goes for linens that have wax drips: freeze and chip away, then use a degreasing spot cleaner.” -- Y.G. in Arkansas * Easily thread a needle with hairspray. Spritz the end of the thread with a little high-hold hairspray and pull taut. It will be much easier to thread. * Fun get-together project for kids: Have everyone doodle on a large posterboard. At the end of the night, trace a puzzle pattern and cut it up, making a large floor puzzle. You can bring it out at the next play date. The smaller the children, the larger the pieces! -- A.L. in Florida Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
