by Kathy Wolfe Since April is National Frog Month, it only seems fitting for Tidbits to bring you the facts on these little creatures. • Frogs are amphibians, meaning they are coldblooded and sp lit their time between land and water. Their body temperature changes depending on their surroundings. If it’s cold, certain frogs dig underground burrows or hole up in the mud of ponds. • More than 4,700 species of frogs can be found around the world. The U.S. is home to about 90 species. Frogs can survive in an astonishing variety of climates and live on every continent except Antarctica. It’s not just warm tropical climates they thrive in – they also dwell in deserts and on mountaintops. Some wood frogs live north of the Arctic Circle, subsisting for weeks in a frozen state. The glucose in the frog’s blood acts as an antifreeze that collects in the vital organs, preserving them while the body freezes. • The front legs of a frog have four toes each, and the back legs have five toes. While aquatic frogs’ legs are longer and stronger to help them swim, land-dwelling frogs have shorter legs for walking and climbing. The tree frog’s large round toe pads act as suction cups to help it grip branches. turn the page for more

FROGS (continued): • Although it does have lungs, a frog breathes through its skin, which allows oxygen to pass through it, so its skin must always be moist. If it isn’t wet enough, there isn’t enough oxygen and the frog suffocates. The frog doesn’t take a drink when thirsty – all the moisture the frog needs is absorbed through the skin. • At least once a week, frogs shed their skin. After doing a lot of twisting and stretching, a frog will pull the skin over its head. Although the frog will usually eat the skin, some species, like the Australian water-holding frog, uses the shed skin as a cocoon to burrow in. This desert-dwelling water-holding frog can wait seven years for rain in its underground burrow. • Out of all animals with a backbone, frogs are by far the best jumpers, with many able to leap up to 20 times their body length. If a human could do that, it would be about a 100-foot (30.5 m) jump. The longest frog jump on record took place at a 1989 South African frog derby when Santjie the frog leaped 33 feet, 5.5 inches (10 m.). • Not all frogs are jumpers. Costa Rica’s flying tree frog soars among the branches aided by its feet. The webbing between its toes fills with air much like a parachute, enabling the frog to fly from tree to tree. • Have you ever tried to sneak up on a frog? It’s “nigh on” impossible because its bulging eyes enable it to see in all different directions without even moving its head. And because its eyes are located on the top of its head, a frog can sit in the water with only its eyes and nose above the surface. Frogs have three eyelids, two of which are used above water, and the other to protect its eyes when it is under water.

mm@lovemytidbits.com Can Pets Take Human Vitamins?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can I give my dog and cat the same herbal supplements and vitamins that I take? It seems that a lot of medicines prescribed by the vet are just pet-sized doses of human medication. -- Tanya G., via email DEAR TANYA: Some pets can take similar vitamin supplements to humans, but as you noted, the dosages can vary greatly between humans and between different sizes and species. Dogs and cats and other mammals are most likely to be prescribed medicines that humans also take. Lizards, fish and non-mammals are far less likely to take the same things. It’s really, really important to talk to your pets’ veterinarian about giving them vitamins or herbal supplements, in addition to doing your own research on natural pet health. Many vets recommend certain supplements for dogs and cats, usually added to their food or given in pill form. Some advocate
homeopathic remedies. All vets will tell you what not to give your pets, and you should take heed. Additionally, your pet’s food may already contain some vitamin supplements. Be aware of what they’re already eating before adding more of the same. What kind of supplements are commonly given to house pets? Some of the more popular ones include vitamin C, which is purported to reduce inflammation; fish oil, which improves skin and hair; and glucosamine (along with chondroitin), which many owners say has reduced the severity of arthritis in their older dogs. Again, do your research and make sure the supplement or vitamin you want to give your dog or cat is safe for them. Make sure they’re getting the right dose for their weight, as well. With vitamins as with everything else, there is too much of a good thing. Send your questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Welcome to Goose Tips! With Easter just a couple of weeks away, I thought I’d share a cute and simple idea for Cadbury eggs. I’m a sucker for holiday candy, so when I laid my eyes upon Cadbury Creme Eggs at the grocery store I immediately threw them into my cart. Then I experienced a brief moment of brilliance and decided to bake the Cadbury Cupcakes I had seen online. Here’s what you need: 24 paper cupcake liners Batter for 24 cupcakes. Box mix works fine or simply use your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe, it’s your call. 24 Cadbury Creme Eggs (frozen) Freezing the eggs keeps them from completely vanishing inside the baked cake. 1 batch or 2 cans of buttercream frosting. Directions: 1. Scoop batter into paper liner 2/3 of the way full. Place one frozen Cadbury Creme Egg into the middle of each cupcake. Use a spatula to spread the batter over the egg. 2. Bake according to the recipe you are using. Allow cupcake to cool completely. 3. Frost the top of each cupcake and top with a mini Cadbury Egg if desired. The Wounded Goose will be closed on Easter Sunday so our staff may celebrate with family. When your family decides to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Wild Game...Thanks to you we are celebrating 5 years...Now serving beer and wine. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of
competition, but our food doesn’t!

FROGS (continued): • An unusual species known as the glass frog has transparent skin, meaning you can see its internal organs, bones, and muscles. An observer can view the heart beating as well as the stomach digesting food. • Although most frogs stick to a diet of insects, snails, spiders, and worms, some species dine on small fish and even mice. Argentina’s horned frogs can eat a mouse in one mouthful, swallowing it whole. Africa’s dwarf puddle frog gobbles up to 100 mosquitoes in one night’s dinner. It takes less than one second for a frog to roll out its long sticky tongue, grab its prey, and return it to its mouth. While the frog does have a row of teeth on its upper jaw, they’re only to hold the prey while the frog kills it. The teeth are not used to chew. • You can distinguish the male from the female frog by checking out its ears, located just behind the eye. If the ear is larger than the eye, it’s a male; if the ear is smaller, it’s a female. • The largest kind of frog is the Goliath frog native to the Cameroon in West Africa. The Goliath’s body can grow to nearly a foot (30 cm) long, and can weigh as much as a housecat, about 7.3 lbs. (3.3 kg). In contrast, one of the world’s smallest frogs can be found in Brazil. The adult Gold Frog measures just 3/8th of an inch (9.8 mm). • What’s the difference between a frog and a toad? Technically, the toad is a frog because it also belongs to the order Anura. Toads are simply frogs with dry warty skin and short hind legs. Frogs have smooth moist skin and long webbed hind legs.

• On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic fails to divert its course from an iceberg, ruptures its hull and begins to sink. The Titanic was divided into 16 compartments that were presumed to be watertight. Because four of these compartments could be flooded without loss of buoyancy, the Titanic was considered unsinkable. • On April 20, 1923, Tito Puente, the bandleader and percussionist who helped popularize Latin dance music in America, is born in New York City. During a career that spanned six decades, “El Rey” (The King), recorded more than 100 albums and won five Grammy Awards. • On April 16, 1947, multimillionaire and financier Bernard Baruch first coins the term “Cold War” to describe relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, a war without fighting or bloodshed, but a battle nonetheless. • On April 15, 1959, Fidel Castro visits the United States. The trip got off to an inauspicious start when it became clear that President Dwight Eisenhower had no intention of meeting with Castro. Instead, Eisenhower went to the golf course to avoid any chance meeting. • On April 17, 1960, Eddie Cochran, the musician behind “Summertime Blues” and other rockabilly hits, is killed when the taxi carrying him from a show in Bristol, England, crashes en route to the airport in London, where he was to catch a flight home to the U.S. He was 21. •On April 19, 1971, as a prelude to a massive antiwar protest that would include 200,000 demonstrators, Vietnam Veterans Against the War begin a five-day demonstration in Washington, D.C. The generally peaceful protest ended on April 23 with about 1,000 veterans throwing their combat ribbons, helmets and uniforms on the Capitol steps, along with toy weapons. • On April 18, 1989, thousands of Chinese students continue to take to the streets in Beijing to protest government policies. The protests grew until the Chinese government ruthlessly suppressed them in June, killing thousands, during what came to be known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

• It was beloved and sometimes maligned British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill who made the following sage observation: “Sometimes it is not enough that we do our best; we must do what is required.” • If you’re of a certain age, you might be surprised to learn that the Bruce Willis film “Die Hard” is older than the World Wide Web. • Those who study such things say that a new mom accumulates anywhere from 450 to 700 hours of lost sleep during the first year after her baby is born. • You may be surprised to learn that the average American man spends 10,585 hours hanging out in a bar. Or you may not. • Those who are looking for love might want to consider the following statistics: In a 2013 survey, a quarter of adults said that their spouse/partner is not the type of person they thought they’d settle down with. More than half of respondents said that their significant other is their complete opposite. • If you just can’t seem to resist shouting sometimes, you may suffer from klazomania.

• Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning author John Steinbeck did not start out his career as a great success. In fact, his first novel, “Cup of Gold,” was a complete flop, not even earning enough money to cover the advance the publishing house paid him. He was not discouraged, however; after the book’s publication Steinbeck wrote to a friend, “The book was an immature experiment. ... The next one won’t be good, nor the next one, but about the fifth, I think I will be above the average.” • Even a chameleon that is born blind can take on the colors of its environment. Thought for the Day: “If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shades.” -- Tom Peters (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 FROGS (continued): • While all frogs have poison glands in their skin, most aren’t potent enough to do any damage. However, some Central and South American varieties, known as poison dart frogs, have extraordinarily strong poisons. The natives use this poison on the tips of their hunting arrows. Although there are about 170 different kinds of these poisonous creatures, the most toxic is the golden poison frog. It contains enough poison to kill eight people. • In the English language, the frog says, “ribbit,” while in the Arabic, it says “far, gar.” Mandarin Chinese frogs croak, “guo, guo,” while Russian frogs make the sound “kva-kva.” • Frogs have their place in folklore as well. Legend has it that if the first frog you see in the Spring is sitting on dry ground, for the next year, you will shed as many tears as the frog would need to swim away in. It’s also not a good sign if Spring’s first frog jumps into the water – you’ll have misfortune all year. Likewise, if it jumps away from you, you will lose some friends. However, take heart! If it jumps in your direction, you’ll have many friends. Why not adopt the Japanese’s view of frogs – they view them as symbols of good luck. • About 120 species of frogs, toads, and salamanders have disappeared over the past 35 years.
• A garden manicure is what my mother calls it: When working with plants and dirt, rake your nails across a bar of soap. The soap prevents dirt particles from lodging under nails, and the soap washes away easily when you are finished. Happy Gardening! -- JoAnn • If the string on your trimmer is always breaking or jamming, try this old trick: Give the coiled string a spray with vegetable oil before you thread it. It lubricates the line, making it less likely to pull and less likely to break. • “If you have a spade with a long handle, you can transfer common measurements to the handle. Just lay a tape measure alongside the handle, and use a black marker to note common spacing, like feet and inches. Then, when you put in plants, you can check quickly whether they are spaced correctly. Very handy!” -- P.E. in Arkansas •“Garden tool storage doesn’t have to be hard. Fill a wide mouth bucket with clean sand. Add a half quart or motor oil and stir. Then use the sand to clean and store your garden tools like shovels, rakes or hoes. The sand/oil mixture helps clean the metal surfaces, and the heaviness of the container lets you stick them in the sand without fear of everything falling down, like it would if you leaned them along a wall.” -- E. in North Carolina • Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nice-size flower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water. The birds will thank you -- maybe even by eating some nuisance bugs along with the seed. • Boiling potatoes? Plants love starch. Let your cooking water cool, then use it to water the plants in your garden.

PAUL ANKA • One of the world’s favorite crooners hails from Ottawa, Ontario. Born in Canada in 1941 to restaurant-owning parents of Lebanese descent, Paul Anka began singing in the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church choir at age 12. By 13, he had formed his own group, the Bobbysoxers. • A school contest when he was 13 changed the course of Anka’s life. He collected Campbell’s soup labels for three months and won a trip to New York City, where he determined he was going to make it in the music industry. By 14, he had recorded his first single, “I Confess.” • At 16, Anka headed back to New York and was granted an audition at ABC-Paramount Records, singing “Diana.” The studio signed him immediately and “Diana” quickly skyrocketed to Number One, and continues to be one of the best-selling 45s in music history, with sales of over 9 million copies. Following up with four more singles, Anka was firmly in place as a universal teen idol. • In the late 1950s Anka was traveling the world, singing such hits as “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and “Hey There, Lonely Boy.” While touring Great Britain and Australia with Buddy Holly, Anka composed “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” exclusively for Holly, and Holly recorded it shortly before his fatal plane crash in 1959. At age 18, Anka generously bestowed his composer’s royalties on Holly’s widow. • While enjoying a career as a recording star, Anka began songwriting in earnest. He composed the 1960 hit “Puppy Love” inspired by his brief teen romance with Mouseketeer Annette Funicello. At age 19, he wrote the theme song to the hit move The Longest Day, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. He was also given a part as an army private in the film.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 PAUL ANKA (continued): • In 1962, Anka wrote the theme song for The Tonight Show, during Johnny Carson’s tenure. During Carson’s heyday, Anka earned $900,000 annually in royalties for just that one song. It’s estimated the song has been played close to a million-and-a-half times. • Paul Anka has written more than 900 songs, including Frank Sinatra’s signature tune “My Way” and Tom Jones’ biggest hit “She’s a Lady.” Sinatra also became noted singing Anka favorites “Fly Me to the Moon’ and “I’ve Gotta Be Me.” Connie Francis, Barbra Streisand, and The Doobie Brothers have had hits with his compositions. The voice of Elvis Presley can heard singing Anka’s “Blue Christmas” every holiday season.
EIM
• Anka was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in the U.S. in 1993, and into the Canadians Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in 2008. He’s had a song on the Billboard charts in every decade since his 1957 debut, including singles in the Top 50 during five different decades. Anka has recorded 125 albums, including songs in Japanese, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. Worldwide, he’s sold more than 15 million records. In recent years, he has gravitated to big-band arrangements of popular standards. At 72, he still performs on a regular basis as well as appearing on a motivational speaker circuit. In his words, “I’ve always believed that if you don’t stay moving, they will throw dirt on you.”

With the Boston Marathon scheduled for Monday, April 21, Tidbits examines the facts on the history of marathons, while focusing on a few famous events. • The official distance of the modern marathon is 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 km). It began as a commemoration of legend’s run of the Greek messenger and soldier Pheidippides. At the completion of the Battle of Marathon between the Greeks and the Persians, Pheidippides was sent from the battlefield to Athens to announce the victory. After running the entire distance without stopping, he rushed into the assembly, proclaimed, “We won,” then collapsed and died. • When the modern-day Olympics began in 1896, the marathon was one of the original events, although there was no standardized distance. In 1908, at the London Olympics, the race course was from Windsor Castle to the White City Stadium, followed by a partial lap of the track within, a distance of 26 miles, 385 yards (42.195 km). In 1921, the International Amateur Athletic Federation made this the official length of a marathon. • There was no Olympic women’s marathon until the 1984 Summer Olympics. • The first New York City Marathon was held in 1970 with 127 competitors running several loops around Central Park’s Park Drive. Only 100 spectators were on hand to watch 55 of these runners cross the finish line. Held every year on the first Sunday of November, the race has dramatically changed. The course now winds through all five boroughs of New York City, beginning on Staten Island, finishing up outside Tavern on the Green near Manhattan’s Central Park.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 MARATHONS (continued): • The New York Marathon begins promptly at 10:10 A.M. and has a time limit of 8.5 hours. One of the largest marathons in the world, this past year there were 50,304 finishers, including the millionth runner to start the course in its 43-year history. Since 1970, the race has been cancelled only once, in 2012, due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy the week before. • The Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon, first held in 1897, the year after the marathon’s premiere in the Olympics. From its humble beginnings with 18 participants, the Boston event has grown to about 20,000 participants, with 2013’s race boasting 26,839 entries. About 500,000 spectators are on hand annually. • Each year, the Boston Marathon is held on Patriots’ Day, the third Monday in April. This date commemorates the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775. • The Boston Marathon did not officially allow women until 1972. However, in 1966, 23-yearold Roberta Gibb donned her brother’s Bermuda shorts and hooded sweatshirt and hid in the bushes near the starting line. The starting gun went off and after half the pack of runners had started, she jumped in. She had been training for two years, running as much as 40 miles in one day. • In order to compete in Boston, a runner must be at least 18 years old, and have completed a certified standard course within a certain period of time before the Boston event.

I understand that some fountain pens have become quite valuable, and I hope the one I have is among them. -- Kenneth, Albuquerque, N.M. A: I spoke to several pen collectors and they seem to agree that your Pelikan 400 NN is worth about $150.

Q: When I was a young girl, I loved reading the Judy Bolton mystery series. I have a first edition of “The Ghost Parade” by Margaret Sutton, with its original dust jacket. Does it have more value than sentimental? -- Jan, Ramona, Calif. A: The first edition of this book was published in 1933 and is valued in the $50 to $75 range, depending, of course, on condition. Incidentally, the first 10 titles in the Bolton series, which were published from 1932 to 1937, had four black-and-white illustrations printed on glossy paper. They were the work of Pelagie Doane from originals no doubt done in full color. Doane also was responsible for your book’s cover art.

Q: During the 1970s, I began collecting bobbing heads, mostly NFL team members. I now have several dozen but have no idea of current values. -Sam, Chesterfield, Mo. A: One of the better references is “Bobbing Head Dolls: 1960-2000” by Tim Hunter. This illustrated reference features more than 700 dolls from baseball, football, basketball, hockey, TV, advertising, political and cartoon characters. This guide should help you determine how much the dolls in your collection are worth. It is available at Amazon.com. Q: My mother’s china pattern was “Virginia Rose,” and I would like to find out more about it. I’m thinking of adding to the pieces already in the set. Do you have any suggestions? -- Laura, Rio Rancho, N.M. A: “Virginia Rose” was introduced by the Homer Laughlin china company in 1929 and continued to be produced well into the 1970s. It was mainly sold in department stores, two of the main sources being Sears and Woolworth’s. I suggest you monitor eBay to track down additional pieces of this pattern.

Medals of Honor In 2002, the Defense Authorization Act required a review of the records of 600 Hispanic and Jewish veterans who’d been in combat as far back as World War II. The purpose was to be sure that none of them had been denied the Medal of Honor due to prejudice and discrimination, and were given a lesser award instead. Last month, 24 veterans received the award. Only three were still alive to attend the ceremony; the rest of the awards were given posthumously. It’s been 12 years since the order was given to review the documents, and more than half a century since the Medals of Honor were earned. Besides the pride of knowing they’d earned the nation’s highest military honor, what else did the men miss out on all those years? The money: Yes, retroactive lump sums can be handed out now (calculations start with the first day of the month following the date of the event), but it might have made a difference in some of their lives if they’d had the cash coming in all along. At this point, it amounts to $1,259 monthly extra. Other benefits: Parking spaces on most military bases. Commissary and Exchange privileges. MOH license plates, if the state has them. Flying Space A. Children can go to one of the military academies, if they qualify. Invitations to inaugurations and balls. Granted, many of the new MOH recipients were killed in action, but not all of them. One passed away in 1977. Another in 1986. Another in 2001. One last year, in 2013. While the military gets a thumbs-up for reviewing the records, here’s hoping it’s put procedures in place so that this never happens again. The army.mil website says it can take 18 months to get a determination on awarding a Medal of Honor. That’s plenty of time.

Amazon Prime Savings Will Now Cost More If you’ve been saving money as an Amazon Prime member, you likely received an email that started like this: “We are writing to provide you advance notice that the price of your Prime membership will be increasing. The annual rate will be $99 when your membership renews on ... .” (Renewals before April 17, 2014, will be at the old $79 rate.) If your annual membership doesn’t expire immediately, you have time to consider what you want to do next. Reasons to drop Amazon Prime: • If you hunt around, you’ll find other online sites that will ship for free. (If you combine your orders to reach a $35 minimum, your Amazon shipment can be free.) Look for free shipping deals at FreeShipping.org and ShopRunner.com. Some companies will let you ship to their physical store for free if you pick up your items yourself. At this point, many retailers are out to entice former Prime members with good deals. ¥ If you’re a movie and television fan, look at other options for free streaming of movies and television shows. Check livingonthecheap.com for its comparison of Netflix vs. Hulu vs. Amazon Prime. Reasons to keep Amazon Prime: • This is the first price increase since 2005. • Free two-day shipping on most purchases can be worth the membership cost if you order enough during the year. Whether you order a lightweight four-pack of Cheerios or a hefty treadmill, the postage is still the same: zero. (For the treadmill above, the non-Prime shipping cost would be $49.95.) • Amazon can be handy. If you have physical limitations or live in a place with few stores to shop at, or you’re in a perpetual time crunch, it can be a lifeline to know that merchandise (including food) can be delivered to your door in two days. • If you’re not a big fan of movies or television shows, and don’t really care if they’re the very latest, Amazon has a fairly decent selection of 40,000 shows you can watch for free. • If you like the idea of reading a book for free -- maybe to try out a new author or topic without risk -- you can borrow one every month. Deciding whether to keep (or sign up for) Amazon Prime is going to be a balancing act weighing the cost versus the benefit of what you individually use.

Drafty Windows a Costly Nuisance Q: Our front room windows have never been very good at keeping out drafts on windy nights, and in the summer, it’s the hottest room in the house. Do we need to replace these windows? -- Charlene T., via email A: Drafty, leaky windows have a number of causes for -- from warped or old frames to single-pane windows and more -- but completely replacing the windows and frames can be quite costly. Your electric company may offer an energy audit kit -- or can even send a professional to perform an energy audit -- at low or no cost. A basic kit can determine that hot or cool air is escaping the house, while more detailed audits can determine where that air is escaping. Another way is to simply bring in a window replacement contractor to inspect the front-room windows, determine what’s wrong and present an estimate for the cost of repair or replacement. This is the costliest option, so be certain the problem is severe enough to warrant window and/or frame replacement. Consider getting two or three estimates from different contractors to compare prices. In the long term, investing in new, higherquality windows can save a lot in heating and air conditioning costs, and help make the front room more comfortable year-round. In the short term, you’ll want to take some inexpensive measures to prevent drafts and, in the summer, cool air from escaping. If you’ve performed an energy audit or have been able to figure out just where outside air is blowing through, you can lessen the problem. Air entering under the sash can be blocked by placing a length of foam weatherstripping along the underside, where the sash meets the frame. Thinner weatherstripping can be installed vertically along the frame to prevent drafts from entering between the window and the frame. Install double-paneled curtains on all the windows of the room. In the winter, these provide an extra buffer between drafts and you. In the summer, these solid curtains can be pulled shut when the sun is shining into the room, to help keep the room cool. These short-term measures can save some energy, but to really make that room comfortable, take a serious look at replacing the windows, particularly if they’re old or the frame or sash are visibly warped. HOME TIP: Take a tour of your home and make note of as many improvement or maintenance tasks that you can find. Then create a schedule to tackle a few of them at a time. Send your questions or home tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd.,Inc.

New Home Monitor Learns Your Habits If you were to get to the point where you’re forgetting to eat or take your medications, how long would it be before someone noticed a change in your routine? For an initial $150 and then $20 a month, seniors and those who care about them can have peace of mind with a gadget called the Lively Sensor. The Lively Sensor is ... amazing. Here’s how it works: Small monitors (six of them, the size of a quarter) are attached to various items in the home -- the pill container, refrigerator door, TV remote, keychain, front door -- that you touch or move on a daily basis. The idea is to attach the monitors to things that are sure to be a clue that all is not well if the monitors aren’t moved. The sensors get to know your habits. The Lively Sensor gets the signals in a central hub in your house (you don’t need Internet). Your loved ones can use a cellphone or computer to check the “log” of your activities. Yes, the Lively Sensor is a monitor, and no, none of us want to be watched. But the alternative -- being forced to move into a retirement building -- isn’t our first choice. And you do have control over where the monitors are attached. If you’re not on the Internet and don’t always get the latest photos of your grandkids, there’s the LivelyGram, mailed to your house twice a month with pictures and messages from your family, as part of the Lively setup. If you’d like to learn more, go online to www. mylively.com (check at the library if you don’t have a computer), or call 1-888-757-0711 to ask for a brochure to be mailed to you.

Exercise Can Cause Asthma Attack DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a 13-year-old boy who’s having asthma attacks. At least, that’s what they sound like to me. It started early this year when the weather was still cold. He plays or practices baseball three times a week. When he’d run the bases, he’d start coughing and wheezing. Now that the weather is warmer, he still has attacks, but not so bad. Does this sound like asthma to you? I don’t know that he’s allergic to anything. -- W.O.
two or three hours. That’s long enough to get him through a practice or a game. The above is for exercise-induced asthma. It’s not for other asthma varieties. The booklet on asthma explans this common illness and its treatments in detail. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 602W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What’s the lowest number of calories a woman can safely eat in a day to lose weight? I would like to lose 20 pounds. How long will that take? -- G.K. ANSWER: An active woman needs around 1,800 calories a day. If she gets much less than that, she’ll have a hard time meeting her vitamin and mineral requirements. If she deducts 500 calories from her daily diet, she should lose a pound in a week -- 20 pounds in 20 weeks. If she actively exercises, she needs to lower her daily intake by only 300 calories to get the same results.
ANSWER: Asthma is an inflammation of the airways, the bronchi. They become very sensitive, and suddenly narrow and fill with mucus when provoked. Both the constriction and the mucus make it difficult to get air into and out of the lungs. Included in the definition of asthma is reversibility. The constriction and mucus buildup are not permanent, in most cases. The signs of asthma are a feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing. In your son’s kind of asthma, exerciseinduced asthma, the attack comes on five to 10 minutes after beginning an activity. Exerciseinduced asthma is not so dependent on allergy triggers. It comes on because cold, dry air irritates the airways. The warmer, moister air is perhaps the reason why his attacks are not as pronounced as they were. You need to have a doctor examine the boy to be sure if this is exercise-induced asthma. Even if he has no symptoms at the time of his doctor visit, the doctor can induce them in a number of ways. He or she also can put an end to them. If exercise-induced asthma is proven, a multitude of medicines are available for control. Most can be taken as mouth sprays. Taking the medicine before physical activity can prevent asthma symptoms for
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You printed two letters on headaches. I don’t see you mention the medicine that works for me -- Excedrin. It takes only half a pill to end my headaches. My grown son has tried it, but he didn’t get good results. Just wanted you to know how well it works for me. -- J.R. ANSWER: Thanks. Excedrin is a combination of aspirin and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Many Excedrin products also contain caffeine, which is said to enhance pain-relief. I’m sure readers will appreciate your testimonial. READERS: Dr. Donohue is retiring after writing “To Your Good Health” for three decades. Dr. Keith Roach will be taking over the popular King Features syndicated column.
