When islands are mentioned, many people think of Hawaii, the Caribbean islands or even Iceland. In this Tidbits, we’ll explore a few unfamiliar islands; some fictional and some that are not even surrounded by water! •

Sicily Island, Louisiana is not a tropical island, or surrounded by an ocean, sea or lake. It is surrounded by Deer Creek on the north, Bayou Macon and Tensas River swamp on the east, Bayou Louah and Lake Lovelace on the south and the Ouachita River to the west.

• Three exploring brothers, Richard, Thomas and George Lovelace, settled in the area in the 1760’s. They loved the beautiful scenery and lay of the land and named the area for the Mediterranean Island of Sicily.

• Popular Catahoula Curs were developed as a canine breed at Sicily Island. The dogs were bred from the Lovelace brothers’ Dalmations and Indian dogs in the area. They were named for Catahoula Parish. • Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most famous military leaders in history, is credited with the Louisiana Purchase. Due to its French heritage, Louisiana has parishes instead of counties. Napoleon was exiled twice: to Elba Island in the Mediterranean and later to St. Helena Island in the southern Atlantic. turn the page for more!

UNUSUAL ISLANDS (continued): • Staten Island, a borough of New York City, is home to what was once the world’s largest landfill. Freshkills Landfill was established by the City of New York in 1948. The area was mainly coastal marshland and tidal creeks before it was filled in with garbage. At the peak of use, in 1986-87, the landfill had 680 employees and received up to 29,000 tons (26 million+ kg) of trash per day! • Freshkills Landfill received its last garbage on March 22, 2001 and its transformation into a city park started in 2009. Freshkills Park will be about three times the size of Central Park, with 2,200 acres (890 ha). As the development of the park continues in phases over the next 30 years, future generations will know Staten Island as a beautiful place to play and relax rather than as a place for trash. • A popular television series that ran for seven seasons on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network was Fantasy Island. From 1978 to 1984, Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban), the handsome, debonair host greeted guests to the island and fulfilled requests for their fantasies. The very popular “little person,” (the acceptable term used by the Little People of America organization), Herve Villechaize, known as “Tattoo” on the show, would rush up the tower of the main cottage to ring the bell when guests arrived. His call, “De plane, De plane!” was heard at the beginning of each show for six seasons. After a salary dispute he left the show and a butler took his place for the final season. • Fantasy Island was not filmed on an island but in various locations in California and Hawaii. The cottage where Tattoo rang the bell is at the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Arcadia, California.

DEAR TANYA: It may seem weird, but booties can be just as important in the summertime as they are in winter. They’ll protect the sensitive pads on Sasha’s paws, which can burn pretty easily even at the beach on hot sand or wooden boardwalks, or be cut on sharp rocks or other objects. Dogs both large and small can suffer in hot weather, not just from the heat and sun but from hot pavement. Walk them in the early morning or late evening, when it’s not as hot, and make sure

Ice Cream Bread. Yes, you heard me correctly---

ICE CREAM BREAD

All is right in the world. Ice cream and self rising flour have made beautiful food love and made delicious babies. Perfectly soft bread babies. Seriously, you MUST stop what you are doing right now and make this. I used Butter Pecan Ice Cream because that’s my fav, but you can use whatever flavor you want.

“On the Road to Meet Your Needs”

This recipe makes one 8 x 4 loaf. You need:

1834 Kriner Road Gallipolis, OH

2 cups Ice Cream, softened 1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last weekend on a vacation at the beach, we were walking our little mutt, “Sasha,” along a pathway. A passerby told us we should pick her up or put booties on her. While I don’t think it was any of her business, why would anyone put booties on a dog in such hot weather? -- Tanya C., via email

Welcome to Goose Tips!

they have plenty of water to drink at all times. Keep them indoors or in a shady, well-ventilated area (but NOT your car) during the heat of the day. Small dogs can be picked up and carried over rocky areas or hot pavement, but it’s important for them to get their exercise. So look for a set of booties in Sasha’s size. If she doesn’t like wearing them, train her to wear them for a minute or two at first and gradually extend the time, giving her lots of praise when she wears them calmly. After every walk, even if she wears booties, check the bottom of her paws for injury. If you notice cuts or burns, or if she is limping or constantly licking her footpads, contact Sasha’s veterinarian. Send your questions or comments to ask@ pawscorner.com.

Preheat your oven to 350. Spray and flour a 8x4 loaf pan. In a medium bowl mix the ice cream and flour together until just combined. Scoop into the loaf pan and smooth out. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the loaf comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it. Remove from pan and allow to cool (if you can wait that long)! When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the goose! Thanks to you we are celebrating 5 years, now serving beer and wine and wild game every Friday. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t! ---Kat Brabham, owner 740-388-0565

UNUSUAL ISLANDS (continued): • Another place named “Island,” is Island Park, Idaho. Called the “Longest Main Street in America,” the community extends from the Snake River north of Ashton, Idaho, to the Montana border. Island Park is popular for fishing, hunting, water sports and snowmobiling. The average snowfall of 9 feet (2.74 m) makes the area a winter wonderland, while famous trout fishing is the biggest draw in warm weather. • Hegura Island, Japan, is known for its female “free divers” (divers who deep sea dive without breathing equipment) known as “Ama.” For years the families involved in the business of Ama have rejoiced over the births of baby girls. Females are the ones who learn to dive somewhat miraculously as much as 82 feet (25 m) to harvest abalone. Through the years they started using goggles, flippers and wet suits but have never used oxygen tanks. Their “tools” are “visual acuity, lung capacity and hunter instinct.” • Hereditary rights determine who can be a part of the Ama business. Historical records show the claim to dive for abalone was bestowed on “female ancestors by Lord Maeda during the feudal Tokugawa era” in Japan from 1603-1867. An Ama interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning on February 9, 2014, was still diving at age 80! • The fishing region of Thousand Islands, that stretches along the St. Lawrence River region of New York and Canada is where Thousand Island salad dressing was created. Clayton, New York is considered the birthplace of the dressing, home of the Thousand Islands Inn. • The origin of the salad dressing has two stories passed down through history, both involving fishing guides in the region. Read about the salad dressing and the Thousand Islands area at www.visit1000islands.com.

• On July 22, 1933, American aviator Wiley Post returns to New York, becoming the first aviator to fly solo around the world. Post flew a Lockheed Vega monoplane, nicknamed the Winnie Mae. • On July 26, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in the United States in retaliation for the Japanese occupation of French Indo-China. Britain and the Dutch East Indies followed suit. The result: Japan lost access to three-fourths of its overseas trade and 88 percent of its imported oil. • On July 24, 1959, during the grand opening ceremony of the American National Exhibition in Moscow, Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev engage in a heated debate in the middle of a model kitchen set up for the fair. The “kitchen debate” became one of the most famous episodes of the Cold War. • On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommends that America’s 37th president, Richard M. Nixon, be impeached and removed from office. The impeachment proceedings resulted from a series of political scandals known as Watergate. On Aug. 8, Nixon announced his resignation.

• It was English poet Martin Farquhar Tupper who made the following sage observation: “Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.” • If you’re in the neighborhood of Bessemer, Alabama, you might want to stop in its Hall of History. Though the connection to local history isn’t clear, Hitler’s typewriter is on display to curious onlookers. • You may be among those people who think good deeds and selfless acts are on the decline. If so, consider this story: In 2010, an employee at a recycling company came across 23 U.S. savings bonds while sorting through a bin of discarded papers. Instead of trying to cash the $22,000 worth of bonds himself, Mike Rodgers decided to track down the owner. It turned out that the woman who had bought the bonds, Martha Dobbins, had been dead for almost two decades. Rodgers didn’t give up, though; he began a search for Robert Roberts, who was also named on the bonds. Though the name is common and Rodgers hit many dead ends, he eventually located the correct Robert Roberts, the son of Martha Dobbins. Roberts hadn’t even been aware of the bonds’ existence. Rodgers, his good deed finally being done, refused a reward. • The next time you look out the window and see banks of freshly fallen snow, remember that only about 8 percent of that fluffy whiteness is actually water; the remaining 92 percent is air. • During the course of filming all eight Harry Potter movies, actor Daniel Radcliffe went through 160 pairs of glasses and 70 magic wands.

There are 94 islands with Ellesmere Island being the farthest north and the tenth largest island in the world. • Ellesmere Island is only 497 miles (800 km) from the North Pole and 15 miles (25 km) from Greenland. It is a polar desert with an average annual precipitation of only 2 ¾ inches (70 mm), making it drier than the Sahara Desert! • On the southern coast of Ellesmere Island, Grise Fiord is the northernmost permanent community in Canada with a hardy but small population of 148. • An island with a population at the other end of the population spectrum is Java, Indonesia. It is the thirteenth largest island in the world and is home to 136 million people. • Known for its millions of peppers instead of people is Avery Island, Louisiana. The island is one of five salt domes that rise out of the marshes of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. This island is only 163 feet (49.68 m) above sea level. • The McIlhenny Company and their acres of hot peppers and facilities for producing the famous TABASCO® products occupy most of Avery Island. The family-owned hot sauce company has been at the site since its founding in 1868. • An island not known for hot peppers, but for beautiful flowers, red soil, shorelines, and a famous novel is Prince Edward Island (PEI). Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is famous all over the world. Thousands of tourists come to the island off the eastern coast of Canada annually to visit Green Gables Heritage Place and Montgomery’s home, both part of PEI National Park.

RAYMOND BURR

Raymond William Stacy Burr was born on May 21, 1917 in the small community of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. He starred in many films and television shows but is most widely known for the roles of Perry Mason and Ironside in a long television career. • Quite the story-teller, Burr apparently told many untruths about his own personal life. He claimed to have been married three times and that he had a son who died young. By all accounts at least two of the marriages and the son were fabricated relationships. • What is known as truth about Burr is that he could pretend to be a lawyer and a detective and proved that well in two long-running television shows.

Hours: Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri 10--5, Sat 10--3, Closed Wed & Sun

•

One of the earliest appearances that Burr is known for was in Alfred Hitchcock’s film, “Rear Window.”

• He is most widely known for his starring role as the heavy-weight burly attorney, Perry Mason, in the show by the same name that was broadcast nine seasons from 1957-66.

Answer on Page 9

• The Perry Mason television show was based on the fictional writings of Erle Stanley Gardner, who was a practicing attorney for about 20 years. Gardner created the main character as well as Mason’s secretary, played by Della Street, and the private detective and investigator who made up the main cast of characters for the television series. Gardner wrote the first Perry Mason stories in 1933. The last Perry Mason mystery was published three years after Gardner’s death in 1973. • A year after the original Perry Mason series ended Burr returned to television as Ironside. That series was about a police detective who became confined to a wheelchair in the first episode. It was on the air from 1967-75.

• Canada honored Raymond Burr, aka Perry Mason, with a postage stamp in 2008. He was one of four Canadians the postal service chose to honor for their achievements in Hollywood.

•

Burr starred in numerous reprisals of his role as Perry Mason after the original series ended. There was The New Perry Mason series in 1973; a television movie, Perry Mason Returns in 1985; and more than 25 other Perry Mason appearances for Burr. The movie in the 1985-86 season was the secondhighest rated television movie that year. One of the funniest appearances by Raymond Burr was in a spoof of his Perry Mason role on Airplane II, the Sequel in 1982.

Before pencils, ancient Romans used a writing instrument called a stylus to make light marks on papyrus, an early form of paper. When graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, England in 1564, darker marks were made possible leading to what is still called a pencil.

• The term “lead” pencil has been used throughout history but was actually never accurate. Lead has never been used as the marking material inside pencils. However, lead was used in the exterior paint of pencils and caused health problems when pencils were chewed or put in the mouth. • In the early discovery years, pencils were not covered with wood. People would use cloth or some other covering to hold the graphite to write. When just held by hand, graphite turns hands and fingers black. • The birthplace of mass-produced pencils was Nuremberg, Germany. One of the earliest known makers of pencils was Kaspar Faber, a cabinetmaker in Nuremberg, in 1761. He glued narrow sticks of graphite between small, smooth pieces of wood. He started the Faber-Castell Company. •

Faber’s grandson, Lothar, used water and then steam power to increase production and consistency in making pencils. He created standards for pencil size and hardness grades in 1839. Lothar is credited with the invention of hexagonal pencils and the first brand-name writing instruments, marked A.W. Faber. The Faber-Casteel Group is, still today, the world’s largest pencil manufacturer, producing approximately 1.8 billion wood-cased pencils annually.

• The first factory that produced pencils was in Keswick, Cumberland, United Kingdom in 1832. The Pencil Museum in Keswick is the home of the “world’s first pencil.”

PENCILS (continued): Nicholas Jacques Conté of France is credited with the invention of pencil “lead.” He mixed graphite with clay to create pencils with varying degrees of hardness. The rods of graphite and clay were fired in a kiln to prepare them for use. He received a patent for this process in 1795. With the pencil’s origins in Germany and the United Kingdom, Americans imported pencils for years. Early settlers in North America depended on the imports until the supply was cut off during the Revolutionary War. Seeing the need for pencils, William Monroe, a cabinet-maker in Concord, Massachusetts, became known as the first pencil maker in America. James Musgrave was also involved in the early years of the pencil industry in America. The owner of a sawmill in Shelbyville, Tennessee, his main business was cutting worn cedar fence posts into small slats of wood to ship to German pencil companies. Musgrave bartered with farmers to replace their fences with wire and pole fencing in order to have the cedar to ship. When the United States entered World War I, the company could no longer send wood to Germany. At that time, Musgrave started the Musgrave Pencil Company. His success led to other pencil companies opening in the area. In the 1950s, Tennessee Governor Buford Ellington named Shelbyville, “Pencil City, USA.” Some extra pencil trivia: Two common derogatory uses of the word pencil found their way into the English language years ago: pencil-pusher means “office worker;” and pencil-neck means “weak person.” The first term came about in 1881, while the second was first recorded in 1973.

Kitchen Gadgets Q: My mom and dad were married in 1949 following the end of World War II. As she began setting up and organizing her kitchen, she bought dozens of gadgets such as shredders, choppers, odd can openers, juicers, ricers and even a Tala Egg Wedger, which was used for slicing hard-boiled eggs. I ﬁnd these items fascinating and would like to ﬁnd out more about them. Any suggestions? -- Margaret, Panama City, Fla. A: There are two helpful books I think you’ll enjoy: “Spiffy Kitchen Collectibles” by Brian S. Alexander, and “The Antique Trader Kitchen Collectibles Price Guide” edited by Kyle Husfloen, both published by Krause Books. I also urge you to visit local antique malls, where you’ll be amazed at the demand and prices generated by older kitchen items. Q: I have a coin collection that began with my great-grandfather and continued with my dad, who died four years ago. The collection is a combination of coinage and currency. I need a professional appraiser so we can establish values for insurance purposes. Can you help me? -- Sally, Metarie, La. A: Dr. Spencer Peck is a senior member of the American Society of Appraisers and specializes in

numismatics, one of only nine appraisers in the United States with such credentials. Contact is P.O. Box 526, Oldwick, NJ 08858; and spencerpeck@comcast.com. Q: My dad was stationed in Germany during the 1950s and purchased several Hummel ﬁgurines during that time. Can you recommend a good price guide so we can determine current values? -- Laura, Paris, Ark. A: There are several excellent guides, but my personal favorite is “M.I. Hummel: Figurines, Plates, Miniatures & More” by Robert L. Miller and published by Portfolio Press. This guide is frequently updated, and its prices seem to reflect the present economy and marketplace. It can be ordered at amazon.com. Q: My dad was a pipe smoker, and I have inherited about two dozen of his pipes. Do you have any suggestions of how I can dispose of them? -- Cynthia, Buffalo, N.Y. A: One of the better groups is the North American Society of Pipe Collectors. Contact is P.O. Box 9642, Columbus, OH 43209. 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.

The Devil’s in the Detail The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to provide transitional housing and support services to veterans with special needs. A $5 million grant will go to 25 organizations (if they reapply for funding) in 11 states to provide housing services to veterans who are women, frail elderly, terminally ill, chronically mentally ill or who care for minor dependents. Eligible programs must provide up to 24 months of housing or services, such as case management, crisis intervention, counseling and so on. The goal, quoting from the news release, is to help “homeless veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and income, and gain greater selfdetermination.” Sounds great, but the fine print is confusing. A notice in the Federal Register outlines the details. Here are some of the services provided: • Frail elderly are to receive services for safety, opportunities to stay mentally and physically agile, walkers or other necessary devices, and monitoring of medications. • The terminally ill program will help address end of life issues, provide transition and closure actions, and provide legal counsel and pain management. • For the chronically mentally ill, it will help participants engage with the community, facilitate reintegration and ensure opportunities to re-establish relationships with family. • For those who care for minor dependents, the program will provide transportation, offer referrals for child care and ensure health needs are met, especially immunizations. • For women, it will ensure transportation, especially for health and education, and will address safety and security issues. Doing the math, the $5 million could give $200,000 to each organization, if divided evenly ... except the fine print of the Federal Register notice says that $3.5 million is expected to be made available. Where’s the other $1.5 million? Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

Pawn Shops: Lender of Last Resort The best reason to have emergency savings can be summed up in two words: pawn shops. If something happens and you have savings, you dip into it to solve your problem, and later build it up again. But if you don’t have savings and can’t arrange a bank loan to get you through the emergency, you may be forced to go to an alternate money source -- like a pawn shop. A pawn shop is a place where you hand over something you own -- such as jewelry, a musical instrument, electronics, TV, gun or power tools -- in exchange for cash. When you pay the money back, you get your possession back. It’s in the paying it back that problems can arise. Pawn shops have exorbitant interest rates. There are state and federal laws, but the rates are still high. Do the math. If the interest rate is 15 percent per month, multiply that by 12 to get your true annual interest rate. (Compare bank rates online.) Even if the rate is much lower (in states where the rate is capped), you can be dinged for “monthly service charges” that add up to nearly the same amount. You also might be charged for insurance on your possession, depending on its value. You’ll only get a portion (maybe half) of your item’s true worth when you get a loan.

The pawn shop owner wants to make sure he can sell it and make a profit if you never come back. You will have let your possession go for a lot less than you might have gotten selling through a newspaper ad or online. You’ll be given a time limit (usually 3060-90 days) to reclaim your possession and repay the loan. If you need a time extension, no problem -- but you’ll pay extra interest, storage fees and more. One person in four never reclaims their property. If you’re in a position where you must have fast cash and need to deal with a pawn shop, read the fine print on your claim ticket. It should have all your information, plus the specifics of the loan. Like a bank loan or a mortgage, your ticket has to spell out the terms, how much you owe, how much the interest is and when the “note” is due, as well as your identification. If you deal with a pawn shop, do your homework. Call the local Better Business Bureau for complaints. And do NOT lose your claim ticket.

Water-Damaged Carpet Needs Quick Attention Q: My apartment’s window air-conditioning unit dripped water from the front left corner for several days before I realized it, and the carpet underneath is soaking wet. How can I dry it quickly? -- Chase T., Concord, N.H. A: First off, since you live in an apartment, contact the landlord or management office right away. They should be informed of any damage that has occurred, as soon as it happens. If the leaky air-conditioning unit belongs to the landlord or management company, then responsibility for the cost of the repair may belong to them. Many communities will send out a maintenance person or repair contractor to fix or replace both the leaky A/C unit and the damaged section of carpet. If the A/C unit belongs to you, then you may be responsible for some or all of the repair cost. Some communities will make the repair anyway, so that the apartment meets their standards, and you’ll have to negotiate with them about the cost or forfeit some of your security deposit. You also can offer to do the repair yourself or hire a repair contractor yourself, at your cost. The landlord or management will want to check on the final result. So, what needs to be repaired? You’ll need to stop the A/C unit from leaking immediately. Shut it off, take it out of the window if possible (have a helper assist you with the lift) and set in a plastic tub to let the condensed water drain out. Remove and clean the air filter and look for an external drain hose, if the unit has one, that might have come loose. Check the window for any swelling or damage to the wood, which can occur if a leak continues for some time. If the unit cools well, the problem may simply be that it is tilted too far forward, so that condensation runs inside along the bottom of the unit rather than dripping outside. Try placing the unit back into the window so that it has a slight tilt -- about 5 degrees -- up and out. Put a catch bucket underneath the leak area and turn the unit on for an hour or so, checking to see if condensation still comes inside. If this doesn’t fix it, you may need to repair or replace the unit. Next, the carpet. Blot the area with towels as soon as possible to remove excess water. Since it’s been soaking for several days, you (or the repair person) need to dry the area all the way down to the underlayment and flooring. Remove furniture from the area -- clear that half of the room completely, or the whole room if possible. Starting at the nearest corner, pull back the carpet, followed by the padding. Note where the water stains have reached. If the flooring underneath is wet, you need to dry that immediately. The repair or maintenance person will determine if the carpet is salvageable. Costconscious apartments will try to dry the carpet and flooring and at most replace the padding. If this is the direction taken, check the carpet frequently after the repair and make sure you don’t smell mildew or mold. If mold sets in, the entire carpet will probably need to be replaced. HOME TIP: Water spills on carpet should be blotted up with paper or cloth towels as soon as possible to keep them from reaching the padding underneath. Send your questions or home tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Study: You Can Delay Alzheimer’s Disease You can forestall dementia by many years by staying mentally engaged and challenged, according to a long-term Mayo Clinic study. The study began in 2004 with nearly 2,000 participants ranging in age from 70 to 89 years old. Most of them had no dementia, and nearly 300 had mild cognitive impairment. The study focused on the role of the subjects’ previous education, occupation and life enrichment. After a baseline measurement was taken, participants in the study followed an “intellectual enrichment program” and were periodically re-evaluated for functioning, memory, cognitive skills and language. Lifelong intellectual enrichment was seen as a protective strategy to delay cognitive impairment by nearly 9 years. This was true even in those participants who carry the APOE4 gene, which is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. Specifically, cognitive impairment was delayed 8.7 years in those with high lifetime enrichment. Higher education alone brought a five-year delay. For those who carry the APOE4 gene, even beginning cognitive activity late in life brought three years of delay. Late beginning for those without the gene brought seven years of delay. Staying mentally engaged and stretching our brains can even help those of us who didn’t have higher education or challenging occupations, or who carry the APOE4 gene. Here are some suggestions: Take a few art classes, or try arts and crafts. Did you play a musical instrument as a child? Take lessons again. Read. Dip into authors and topics you haven’t explored before. Play games you enjoy, and learn new ones. Try video games! Do a crossword puzzle every day. Sign up for classes at the senior center. While there’s no sure-fire cure or treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, these studies show ways we can help ourselves.

Here's the Skinny on Artiﬁcial Sweeteners By Keith Roach, M. D, DEAR DR. ROACH: I have questions regarding sugar substitutes. I have come to the overwhelming conclusion that sugar is a poison to the human body. However, I have never read any information regarding the safety of sugar substitutes. My questions are: Are they harmless to our bodies; are some safer than others; and do any beneﬁts exist in using some over others? -- J.R.K.B. ANSWER: While I think the term “poison” is too strong, I agree that excess sugar is unhealthy and contributes to both Type 2 diabetes and to obesity. Natural sugars, such as from whole fruits, appear to be treated differently in the body from added sugars, such as those in soft drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks. Your question is about sugar substitutes, and there are many. There’s no way to comprehensively cover them all, but let me talk about the different types. Artificial sweeteners include aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet), saccharin (Sweet’N Low), sucralose (Splenda) and others. Most experts agree that these are safe in reasonable doses, but some people may

have unpleasant reactions to any of them. Aspartame and saccharin have been linked to cancer in laboratory animals, but never in humans. The natural sweetener Stevia also is generally well-tolerated and safe. Sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol, xylitol and mannitol, raise blood sugars somewhat and often cause cramping, gas and diarrhea if taken in large quantities or by people sensitive to their effects. So, while all are generally safe, any can cause side effects. I don’t recommend any of them above the others, though I have seen reactions to sugar alcohols most frequently. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with Holmes-Adie syndrome. I cannot ﬁnd much information on this syndrome other than that it is rare, caused by a virus or bacteria and affects the autonomic nervous system. What is the autonomic nervous system? Can you provide any information on this condition, if it will progress and what to expect? What kind of doctor treats it? -- N.W. ANSWER: The Adie pupil, also called Adie’s tonic pupil, is found when the eye loses part of its nerve supply. This causes one pupil to be bigger than the other

during light exposure but smaller than the other when looking at objects close up. An Adie’s pupil usually occurs without other problems in the autonomic nervous system, but it can occur alongside other problems, such as Ross syndrome, where the Adie pupil is associated with abnormal reflexes and partial loss of sweating. Syphilis causes a similar pupil, but on both sides, in which case a test for syphilis should be done. An eye doctor can help fit special glasses with one lens that’s different from the other to help correct the vision issues that may occur. Fortunately, most cases do not progress. The booklet on macular degeneration explains another common eye ailment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 701W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
