What thoughts go through a person’s mind in their last moments on Earth? This week, Tidbits recalls the famous last words of these wellknown folks. • Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti was enjoying a wildly successful career when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006. One year later, Pavarotti proclaimed his final words, “I believe that a life lived for music is an existence spent wonderfully, and this is what I have dedicated my life to,” and went to sing with the angels. • Frenchman Nostradamus was an apothecary who published several collections of prophecies, which have rarely been out of print since his death. Followers of Nostradamus credit him with predicting many major world events. There was one event he predicted very accurately – his death. On July 1, 1566, he told his assistant, “Tomorrow at sunrise, I shall no longer be here.” Indeed, it was true. • In 1960, James W. Rodgers stood before a Utah firing squad awaiting his execution for the 1957 murder of a miner. His answer to the usual question, “Any last requests?” was, “Bring me a bullet-proof vest.” Rodgers was the last person to die by the firing squad in the U.S. for the next 17 years. … turn the page for more!

FAMOUS LAST WORDS (continued): • Once a grammarian, always a grammarian! The famous French grammar expert Dominique Bouhours lay on his death bed and spoke, “I am about to – or I am going to – die: either expression is correct.” • And speaking of all things proper, as Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, was being escorted to the guillotine to be executed for treason in 1793, she accidentally stepped on the foot of her executioner. This very polite lady expressed the apology, “Monsieur, I beg your pardon.” • After being diagnosed with cancer, legendary movie critic Roger Ebert wrote to the faithful readers of his blog that he would be taking leave for his treatment. The final words of his farewell were, fittingly, “I’ll see you at the movies.” • Who knows what Apple Computers co-founder Steve Jobs saw when he passed from this life to the next? His sister Patty reports that at the moment that pancreatic cancer claimed the life of this creative genius, he looked over her shoulder and proclaimed, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” • One of the greatest basketball players of all time, Pete Maravich, had a magnificent tenyear career with the NBA. A severe knee injury forced him to retire in 1980. In 1988, while playing a pickup basketball game in the gym at a Pasadena, California, church, “Pistol Pete” collapsed and died at age 40, less than one minute after saying, “I feel great.” An autopsy revealed that he had been born without a left coronary artery, necessary for supplying blood to the heart’s muscle fibers. The right coronary artery had been compensating for the heart defect his entire life without his knowledge and it finally gave out.

740-416-7660 Show These Terriers Who’s the Boss
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have two Cairn terriers: Pepper is 13 years old; Daisy Mae is 3. She has a tendency to attack Pepper whenever Pepper growls at her. This morning it happened six times, and I usually get the worst of it when I try to intervene. We’ve had to muzzle Daisy Mae around Pepper. Is there anything we can do? -- Patsy in Brookings, Ore. DEAR PATSY: What you have to do is be the boss. Younger Daisy Mae is jealous of Pepper, who probably gets more attention. Pepper growls to let Daisy Mae know who’s boss; Daisy Mae gets aggressive. Fairness and sharing aren’t concepts you can teach these dogs. Pepper is the older dog. Daisy Mae is the younger, and she does not have a say. Be strict with both dogs. Don’t yell at them
or cajole them -- aggressive behavior means separation into different rooms. There are no treats or rewards for refusing to obey your commands. You have to be the lawgiver in the household; they must know to behave when you’re in the room. If Daisy Mae acts up, she gets time out in a separate room. If she refuses to obey your commands around Pepper, she goes to a separate room. If she’s aggressive, the muzzle goes on. Don’t stand between them. At the first hint of aggression from either, remove Daisy Mae from the room. This is going to be a tough haul. Daisy Mae has been exhibiting this behavior for years now. I recommend consulting a professional trainer. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Welcome to Goose Tips! With Mother’s Day just around the corner I’d like to share an easy project the kids can make that Mom will cherish for years. Pick up a blank canvas and Sind craft paint at your local department store. We’re going to paint the word LOVE using your child’s hand and footprints. Find the center of your canvas and determine where you want the O. Paint your child’s hand and press in the canvas where you want the O. Now paint both feet and starting at the heel, use one foot at a time to form a V. After the mess is cleaned up and sanity is restored, paint on your L and E, allow to dry and hang your art. Visit us at woundedgoose.com and see Ruby’s completed project, menus and specials. When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS (continued): • Many famous men had kind words for their beloved before they passed into the Great Beyond. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who penned the stories of Sherlock Holmes, died in his garden with his wife at his side. After suffering a massive heart attack, he looked at her and said, “You are wonderful.” The last words of actor John Wayne, dying of stomach cancer, directed toward his wife were, “Of course I know who you are. You’re my girl. I love you.” Legendary coach Vince Lombardi died just three days after his 30th wedding anniversary, and the last words whispered to his wife Marie were, “Happy anniversary. I love you.” • There’s a difference of opinion on the last words of actor Humphrey Bogart. Some sources hold to the belief that he spoke, “Goodbye, Kid. Hurry back,” to wife Lauren Bacall as she left his bedside in the hospital to go pick up their children. When she returned, he was comatose and never regained consciousness. Others claim his final remark was, “I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.” • Baseball great Joe DiMaggio wasn’t with the one he loved when he passed on in 1999. Although married to actress Marilyn Monroe for just nine months in 1954, he carried a torch for her for the remainder of his life. After her death in 1962, Joe had roses sent to her grave twice a week for 20 years. His final words were, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.” • Showman Flo Ziegfeld brought musical revues, Broadway productions, and films to the world of entertainment, including his legendary Ziegfeld Follies, which ran from 1907 to the early 1930s. Ever the theatrical producer, his last words from his deathbed were, “Curtain! Fast music! Lights! Ready for the last finale! Great! The show looks good, the show looks good!”

Fiesta Ware
Q: I have a dinner set of Fiesta from the 1940s in various colors, including blue, yellow, green and orange. Do these pieces have any value? -David, Sun City, Arizona A: Fiesta dinnerware is produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company in 14 colors, in addition to several special promotions from 1936 until 1972. The original colors were Cobalt Blue, Green, Ivory, Red, Turquoise and Yellow. During the 1950s, Chartreuse, Forest Green, Gray, Medium Green and Rose were added. Fiesta ware is quite collectible. To find out how much the pieces you have are worth, I suggest you invest in a good price guide. I especially like “Warman’s Fiesta Ware: Identification & Price Guide” by Mark F. Moran (Krause Books). It is available at amazon.com or from the publisher, www.krause.com. Q: Recently, I purchased a partial set of flatware in the Colfax pattern. It was made by the Durgin Silver Company. Will it be difficult to complete this set? -- Barbara, Knoxville, TN A: Your pattern was introduced in 1922. The company was started by William B. Durgin in Concord, New Hampshire, in 1853. It eventually became one of the largest flatware and hollowware manufacturers in the United States. Gorham
purchased the firm in 1905, and production relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, in 1931. Will it be easy to complete your set? Nothing is impossible, but it could be expensive. The Silver Queen is a family-owned business that tracks down older sterling flatware patterns and might be able to help you. Contact is sales@silverqueen.com; and 800-262-3134. Q: I have a teapot made by the Clifton Art Pottery studio of New Jersey. What can you tell me about this company? -- Laura, Palm Beach, Florida A: The Clifton Art Pottery company was started by Fred Tschirner and William A. Long in Newark, New Jersey. From 1905 until 1911, it made art pottery and then transitioned into tile. According to “Lehner’s Encyclopedia of U.S. Marks on Pottery, Porcelain & Clay” by Lois Lehner, the company made two distinct types of pottery: Crystal Patina and Indian Ware. By 1914, the plant seemed to be devoted mainly to tile when the name was changed to the Clifton Porcelain Tile Company. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

* If you went into a restaurant for breakfast in the 1930s and ordered “cluck and grunt,” the server would know to bring you ham and eggs. * Irish mom Maria Jones-Elliott holds the distinction of having twins with the longest interval between the two births. In 2012, she went into labor almost four months before her due date. After two days of labor, one of the girls was born, but then the contractions stopped. While Amy, born weighing just 1 pound, 3 ounces, continued to improve in the neonatal intensive care unit, her sister Kate continued to grow in utero -- for another 87 days. Against all odds, both twins survived and are now thriving toddlers. * If you’re like 60 percent of American pet owners, your pet sleeps with you. * A recent study conducted by researchers at the Nara University of Education in Japan found that music affects people’s generosity. Specifically, if you’re listening to music you enjoy, you’re likely to be more generous than if there were no music playing at all. In this scenario, the inverse is also true: If you’re listening to a song you dislike, you’re more likely to be stingy. * The next time you travel to Sweden for a vacation, try to catch a Kaninhoppning competition; you’ll be treated to a spectacle of rabbit show jumping. * You might be surprised to learn that seven out of eight battle deaths suffered by all countries participating in World War II were suffered by the Russians and the Germans.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS (continued): • What was on the minds of U.S. Presidents as they prepared to face the Great Beyond? First President George Washington seemed fulfilled with his life, if his last words in 1799 are any evidence: “It is well, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.” Grover Cleveland remains the only U.S. President to serve two non-consecutive terms as the 22nd and the 24th chief executive. Well-known for his honesty, integrity, and fight against political corruption, it seems fitting that his last words, while in the throes of a gastro-intestinal disease, would be, “I have tried so hard to do right.” Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, “I have a terrific headache,” just moments before he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945. • Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy had no idea that their last words would in fact be their last. As Lincoln and his wife sat in Ford’s Theater watching the play “Our American Cousin,” Mary Todd Lincoln, worried about the opinions of the women seated next to them in their theater box, whispered to her husband, “What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so?” Abe’s last words before being shot by John Wilkes Booth were, “She won’t think anything about it.” As Kennedy rode in a Dallas motorcade in 1963, the wife of Governor John Connelly commented to him, “You certainly cannot say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome, Mr. President.” His answer of, “No, you certainly can’t,” were his final words before his assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: GEORGE EASTMAN Folks have been taking pictures with a Kodak camera since 1888. Follow along and learn about its inventor George Eastman and his contributions to the photography industry. • Born in central New York State in 1854, George Eastman had a difficult childhood, with his father passing away when George was eight. His sister contracted polio when he was a teen. George’s mother took in boarders for the family’s financial survival, and at age 14, George quit school to go to work, first as an errand boy at an insurance company, and later as a junior clerk at the Rochester Savings Bank. • At age 23, an invitation from a friend changed Eastman’s life forever. He was invited on a vacation to Santo Domingo, and bought photographic equipment to document the trip. He found the gear to be enormous, heavy, and very expensive. Eastman never took the trip, but was inspired to research the invention of improved methods of taking pictures. • For three years, Eastman experimented in his mother’s kitchen, seeking an easier way to develop negatives. He developed gelatin emulsions that led to his patent of a dry-plate coating machine. He founded the Eastman Dry Plate Company when he was 30. Continued experiments led to a patent of rollable film to replace glass negatives. • Eastman introduced the Kodak camera in 1888, inventing the name that would be familiar for decades to come. He explained the name, “The letter ‘K’ had been a favorite with me. It seems a strong, incisive sort of letter.” He tried several combinations of letters, wanting a word that started and ended with “K”.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 GEORGE EASTMAN (continued): • The first Kodak camera cost $25 and came with 100 exposures. The user would send the camera into Kodak for the film to be developed. The advertising slogan was, “You press the button, we do the rest.” • The following year the company developed a type of flexible film that helped establish the motion picture industry and Eastman’s success continued to surge. • The Eastman Kodak Company was founded in 1892, bringing convenient, easy-touse cameras to the common man. In 1900, Eastman introduced the first Brownie camera, intended for children and priced at $1, with film selling for 15 cents a roll. • In 1902, Eastman began building a mansion in Rochester, New York, a 35,000-square-foot, 50-room house with the latest in heating and electricity, telephones, and an elevator. It took three years and $335,000 to complete. Today, the home is the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, and is a National Historic Landmark. • Upon his retirement, Eastman embarked on African safaris, bringing home a white rhinoceros and an elephant, which he displayed in his home. In his early 70s, Eastman was diagnosed with a crippling spinal disease. After enduring excruciating pain for over four years, in 1932, Eastman took his own life. His last words, penned in a suicide note were, “To my friends: My work is done. Why wait?” • A generous philanthropist, Eastman donated more than $100 million to education and the arts, public parks, hospitals, and dental clinics (about $2 billion in today’s dollars). He supported the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with $20 million, as well as establishing the Eastman School of Music. Having never married, he willed his entire estate to the University of Rochester.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com CINCO DE MAYO Since Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, occurs this week, Tidbits takes the opportunity to look into the history of this event. • In the United States, many mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day. Not so! That event is commemorated on September 16, marking the anniversary of Mexico’s call to arms against the Spanish colonial government in 1810. Cinco de Mayo is actually the celebration of the Mexican army’s victory of over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In Mexico, the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla, which translates into English as “The Day of the Battle of Puebla.” • In 1861, after undergoing both the MexicanAmerican War and a civil war within their boundaries, the Mexican treasuries were nearly empty and the national economy was in ruins. The country was deeply in debt to France, Great Britain, and Spain, but was forced to default on its loans. President Benito Juarez declared that all payments on foreign debts would be suspended for a period of two years, and promised that payments would resume after that time. The three European countries sent armed forces to Mexico to demand payment. Negotiations were successful with Britain and Spain and those two countries withdrew their armies, but France, under the rule of Napoleon III, opted to attempt to expand its empire and install its own leader. • A well-outfitted and provisioned French force of over 6,500 soldiers began its march toward Mexico City. President Juarez rounded up a force of 4,000 loyal but ill-equipped Mexican men and sent them to the forts of Loreto and Guadalupe near Puebla. Many of them were not soldiers at all, but rather agricultural workers, armed with machetes and outdated rifles.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 CINCO DE MAYO (continued): • Early on the morning of May 5, French General Charles de Lorencez led his attack, supported by heavy artillery, on the Mexican forces. Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza commanded the counter-attack and after a day-long battle, Mexico emerged the victor, having defeated the French army that was considered the “premier army in the world.” Although vastly outnumbered, the Mexicans suffered less than 100 casualties, while the French had five times that many. • This was just one battle in the war against French occupation (which did not end for another six years), but the victory at Puebla was a great boost to the morale of the patriotic resistance movement. Napoleon III responded to the defeat by sending 30,000 more troops to Mexico, eventually taking over Mexico City and appointing Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico. His rule lasted but three years until 1867. The U.S. began providing military assistance to Mexico, France withdrew, and Maximilian was eventually executed. • Today, Cinco de Mayo is just a minor holiday in Mexico, primarily observed only in the state of Puebla. It is much more of a celebration in the United States, where it is seen as an observance of Mexican heritage. The largest festivals in America are held in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother-in-law is 95 and lives in a nursing home. Sometimes when we visit, I can barely stand to be in her presence because she savagely grinds her teeth, making an awful grating, creaking noise. Could there be some medical reason for this? -- L.D. ANSWER: Many conditions common in the elderly are associated with teeth grinding. (We have medical terms for pretty much everything -- teeth grinding is called bruxism.) Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia (a type of memory loss often associated with visual hallucinations and movement disorders), stroke, Parkinson’s disease and many medications can cause this problem. Treatment is difficult. A mouth guard to protect the teeth can be very useful, but some people won’t keep them in. Her geriatrician is the right person to discuss this with. Some medications (especially some classes of antidepressants) can cause or worsen daytime bruxism, so stopping those may help. Drug treatment of daytime bruxism is not very helpful. Botulinum toxin (Botox) has been effective in some instances. DEAR DR. ROACH: Don’t forget that although there are many medical causes of restless leg syndrome, varicose veins also can be a source of symptoms, and we have cured many people of symptoms with minimally invasive varicose vein treatments. We always recommend that if you have visible varicosities or strong family history of varicose veins, you should get an ultrasound to determine if you have venous insufficiency. The treatments have essentially no down time and can mean one less medication for many people. In addition, just because you can’t see visible varicosities does not mean you do not have venous insufficiency. We have patients with beautiful legs whose ultrasound reveals large veins under the surface. -- Melissa A. Sandman, M.D. ANSWER: Thank you for writing. Many people also have written about other causes and treatments for restless leg syndrome, so I wanted to talk a bit more about this important subject. In addition to the iron deficiency I mentioned and the varicose veins Dr. Sandman writes about, there are several other important causes, including kidney disease, usually when dialysis has started. Diabetics have a higher risk for RLS, which sometimes can be mistaken for diabetic neuropathy. Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease are both associated with RLS, and Parkinson’s is important because when medicines such as levodopa/carbidopa (Sinemet) wear off, it can mimic RLS symptoms. When dopa drugs are used long-term for RLS, symptoms can get worse, a condition called augmentation. Pregnant women are more likely to have RLS. Many drugs, especially antidepressants, can cause RLS. I had a reader tell me that hers was due to Benadryl she was taking for sleep. Magnesium deficiency is common in RLS, and several readers told me magnesium supplements stopped their symptoms. The booklet on restless leg syndrome and nighttime cramps offers more insights. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 306W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Then, clean out and shorten your dryer’s vent hose to make your machine more energy efficient. It cuts down on drying time, too, saving you time AND money. * “Got an odd job coming up?

We carry Mrs. Wages Mixes, Lids, Fruit Pectin,etc. Perseverance Power 5.2: The Infinite Source of our Perseverance Power By Ron Ross Terry Fox is a name millions of Canadians know well and Terry wasn’t even a hockey player – he was a runner – and he ran for miles and miles and miles – all with a prosthesis on his amputated leg. At the age of 18 Terry was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right knee and lost his right leg to cancer in 1977 but determined to live life with a purpose even after his amputation and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy. In 1979 Terry began training on his artificial leg for what he called his Marathon of Hope. He planned to run all the way across Canada. His journey began on April 12, 1980 when he dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean at St. John’s, Newfoundland and started to run. And run he did; an average of 26 miles per day through six of the ten Canadian provinces. After 143 days and 3,339 miles Terry was forced to stop running because his primary cancer had spread to his lungs. Before leaving Thunder Bay, Ontario where his run was interrupted to return to British Columbia for treatment, Terry said, “I’m gonna do my very best. I’ll fight. I promise I won’t give up.” Sadly, Terry’s running career was over, but the impact of his life had just begun. Terry had had inspired a nation. On September 2, 1980, only one day after Fox’s run ended, Isadore Sharp, Chairman and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts sent a telegram to the Fox family with a commitment to organize a fundraising
run that would be held every year in Terry’s name. He wrote, “You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized.” One month short of his twentythird birthday Terry Fox died but his hope of raising $1 from every Canadian to fight cancer was realized; Canada’s population is 24.1 million and the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaled $24.17 million at the time of his death. Now, every year, millions of people in over 20 countries participate in The National School Run Day, The Terry Fox Run, and Terry fox fund raising events. In 2014 the Marathon of Hope announced that over $650 million had been raised to support cancer research in Terry’s name. Where did Terry Fox get the power to persevere? It came from his commitment to make his life mean something even in the midst of pain and distress. It came from his divinely infused destiny. Terry said this, “I don’t feel that this is unfair. That’s the thing about cancer. I’m not the only one, it happens all the time to people. I’m not special. This just intensifies what I did. It gives it more meaning.” Like Terry Fox, God has placed within you a dream, an idea, a desire that will give your life meaning and it enable you to persevere when the going gets tough. What dream has God infused into your heart? Discover it, declare it then develop it. Your Infinite Source, the God who gave you your dream will provide you with the perseverance power to see it come to pass.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com Airing Out the Indoors
Q: My grandmother constantly tells me my apartment is ÒstaleÓ and that I need to air it out at least once a week. I have no idea what she’s talking about ... opening windows, I guess? -- Kaylie, via email A: Well, yeah ... opening windows is the main component of airing out a house, but there are a number of reasons why older folks (and many younger ones) see it as an essential step in keeping a house healthy. In the early 20th century, airing homes was considered a crucial health component, as it was believed that fresh air would reduce the incidence of flu and other serious illnesses. Modern research has found some validity in this: The exchange of air keeps mold from growing, while a change in temperature can make it tougher for bacteria to live on surfaces around the house. Letting in sunlight also can make it tougher for molds and bacteria to survive. Most of all, though, airing does get rid of the stale smell your grandmother noticed, and makes your apartment an overall nicer place to live. Here are a few tips on getting the most out of airing: * Get rid of piles: Boxes, clothes, papers and so on, particularly on windowsills and beside beds and furniture, collect dust and impede airflow. * Open the windows on first waking up: This is a habit I noticed while visiting friends in Europe, and it makes a lot of sense. Once you’re dressed and leaving for work, shut the windows again. * Or, air your apartment once a week while you’re cleaning: Winter and summer, open all the windows and doors, dust and vacuum thoroughly, and change or air bedding (turn down the bed covers for a couple of hours, and shake out the comforter). * Even if it’s chilly, windy or cloudy outside, as long as it’s not pouring down rain, you can open the windows for about an hour to allow a fresh exchange of air. TIP: If allergies are keeping you from throwing open the windows on warm days, talk to an air-quality consultant (or an HVAC contractor) about the best way to keep the indoor air fresh -- such as changing air filters frequently.

Read Tidbits® and Tidbits® Classifieds online at www.lovemytidbits.com Choose Sunglasses for More Than Style Here comes summer ... and the sun’s damaging glare. Do your sunglasses protect your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays? An American Optometric Association survey found that nearly half of us don’t look for the level of UV protection when we buy sunglasses. The short-term effects of UV rays can result in actual sunburn of the eye, called photokeratitis. While the condition is temporary, the symptoms can be painful: light sensitivity, tearing and a feeling of grit or a foreign body in the eye. Longerterm effects of exposure to UV rays can be much more serious: macular degeneration, cataracts and even cancer of the areas around the eye. Here are some of the AOA guidelines to look for when buying sunglasses: * Choose sunglasses that block 75 percent to 90 percent of visible light and at least 99 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays. If you wear contacts that don’t offer that protection, you need sunglasses. Consider ordering a specific pair of prescription sunglasses with the correct range of UV protection. * Pick sunglasses that closely fit your face to keep UV rays from reaching your eyes from the side. Add a wide-brimmed hat. Remember that the UV protection level isn’t determined by the darkness of the lenses. * Check the lens color carefully. Avoid sunglasses where the lenses don’t exactly match in color or that have distortions. Look at something in the distance to be sure it doesn’t look wavy. (If you’re driving, choose a gray tint for better color recognition of things around you.) And don’t forget the kids. Their eyes are much more vulnerable to harmful effects of UV rays. Get them in the habit of wearing sunglasses when outdoors. Here are some terms to help you understand the different types of lenses. * Blue blocking: good for seeing distant objects in snow or haze. * Photochromic lenses: lighten and darken according to the light around you. * Polarized lenses: reduce the glare from water or snow, great for driving. * Gradient tint: darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. Your best bet is to make a visit to your optometrist. To locate one in your area, go online to aoa.org. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Living to be 100 California, Costa Rica, Greece, Italy and Japan all have something in common. They all have a city with large numbers of people who reach age 100. Only 25 percent of our longevity comes from DNA, says National Geographic author Dan Buettner in his book “Blue Zones.” The rest comes from our environment and lifestyle. With teams of researchers, Buettner traveled the world and discovered the secrets to longevity. There’s no one magic bullet from all of these locations, but lifestyle, spirituality and community combine with a few habits these centenarians follow. Moderate activity, semi-vegetarian diet, a clear purpose and staying socially engaged are common traits among the people who routinely live to be 100. In 2009, AARP joined with the Blue Zones project to add years to the lives of people in Albert Lea, Minnesota. The end result: The life expectancy of the nearly 800 participants rose, simply by making a few changes in their lifestyle and diet. Check aarp.org for more information about the AARP/Blue Zones Vitality Project. Search for The Minnesota Miracle or Creating America’s Healthiest Hometown. Buettner’s books are worth reading. “Blue Zones” (subtitled “9 Lessons for Living Longer”) also is available on Amazon.com or BlueZones. com. Be sure to look for the updated second edition released in 2012. A new addition is “The Blue Zones Solution,” which includes information on diets (and the science behind them), recipes, superfoods, community, family and the routines and personal stories of those in Buettner’s research. No matter how old we are, it’s never too late to be inspired to reach maximum health. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fixes Don’t Cure Long VA Wait Times In spite of fixes, health care doesn’t always get better at the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you live in Jacksonville, Florida, your wait times for appointments are the worst in the country. While the national average of appointments beyond 30 days is 5.9 percent, Jacksonville’s is an astounding 23.3 percent. Fayetteville, North Carolina, is right behind, with 23 percent of requested appointments going over 30 days. While the VA announced a new 250,000foot medical facility will be built in Fayetteville, that doesn’t always help the wait-time problem. A new VA clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, hasn’t relieved veterans’ wait times for appointments. In the seven months the clinic has been open, the number of appointments delayed by 30 days or more has actually risen from 7 percent to 11.5 percent. Besides these locations, other areas with still-high wait times are those with a rural population, a large military presence, and those in Alabama, Georgia, Virginia and New Mexico. In November, new VA chief Robert McDonald said he wanted to hire 28,000 doctors, nurses and other staff. That might be hard to pull off. The Association of American Medical Colleges said in a study it requested, “Projections from 2013 to 2025,” that by 2025 “demand for physicians will exceed supply by a range of 46,000 to 90,000.” That leaves Choice, the VA program that allows veterans who live too far from a VA facility to get care in the community. The VA recently redefined the 40-mile requirement from as the crow flies to actual driving mileage. If you qualify, sign up for it. See www. va.gov/opa/choiceact, or call 866-606-8198.
