TIDBITS® GOBBLES UP SOME CHEESEBURGERS by Kathy Wolfe

Since September 18 is National Cheeseburger Day, Tidbits brings you the facts and figures on one of the world’s favorite meals. • The average American eats about three burgers a week, which translates to nearly 50 billion burgers consumed across the nation every year. About 70% of the beef served in commercial restaurants is made into burgers. • You might think cheeseburgers have been around just as long as hamburgers, but not so! In the late 1700s, German sailors and immigrants brought the “Hamburg Steak” (an entrée with origins in Hamburg, Germany) to New York City. The meat patty between two pieces of bread was a popular item along the New York harbor. The city’s famous Delmonico’s Restaurant featured a hamburger on their menu in 1834. The hamburger made its way out west, appearing on the menu of San Fernando, California’s Clipper restaurant from 1872 to 1884. Yet it seems that the hamburger didn’t look like it does today until 1891, when Oscar Bilby served burgers on a bun. The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair gave the hamburger widespread attention. turn the page for more!

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): • The first records of cheeseburgers were in the 1920s. A Pasadena restaurant, the Rite Spot, claimed it was the first to serve a cheeseburger in 1926, when the owner’s 16-year-old son came up with the idea. A 1928 menu from a Los Angeles restaurant called O’Dell’s has a cheeseburger listed. Kaelin’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, says they invented the item in 1934. But the first person to apply for use of the word “cheeseburger” as a trademark was Louis Ballast of Denver’s Humpty Dumpty Drive-In. Ballast registered the name in 1935 and was awarded a trademark, but never made any claims on it. Steak ‘n Shake claims their restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, was the first to apply for a trademark in the 1930s. • Jimmy Buffett’s popular 1978 hit “Cheeseburger in Paradise” led to a chain of successful restaurants. The song was inspired by a boat trip gone bad taken by Buffett and friends. Bad weather prevented the boat from landing as planned, and Buffett was forced to subsist on canned food and peanut butter, while constantly craving a cheeseburger. When he finally landed on the island of Tortola, his cravings were finally satisfied. There are now 19 Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, although Buffett divested himself of his financial interest in the chain in 2012. • Ray Kroc was already in his late 50’s when he bought the McDonald’s company from the two McDonald brothers in 1961. Now the most successful fast food chain in the world, more than 75 burgers are sold every second of every day worldwide. McDonald’s hires about a million workers in America every year; in fact, about one in every eight American workers has been employed by McDonald’s at one time or another. Five and a half million head of cattle are needed to prepare the burgers served at the restaurants in one year.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Walking my puppy the other day, I struck up a conversation with another dog owner who asked if ÒMaxÓ had gotten something called a ÒparvoÓ yet. I’m not sure what she meant. Can you enlighten me? -- Gerry in Syracuse, N.Y. DEAR GERRY: She probably was asking if Max has been vaccinated against parvovirus yet. If you’re keeping up with Max’s recommended veterinary visits and required shots, there’s a good chance he has received this vaccination. However, if you’re not sure, contact Max’s vet and ask for more information and whether Max has received it yet. Parvovirus, or parvo for short, is easily transmitted between dogs, so local epidemics can start quickly. Puppies and senior dogs, or dogs with compromised immune systems, are the most

Welcome to Goose Tips! OPINION--I’m not quite sure where 1969 stands in history, but I know it has to rank up there as far as how improbable it truly was. Broadway Joe Namath led the underdog New York Jets to win in Super Bowl III, the first artificial heart was implanted in a human, we celebrated Neil Armstrong and the Miracle Mets. There was a certain ying and yang...it was the year that John and Yoko became a couple. This month, we will also pay homage to a little gathering held in upstate New York in 1969, Woodstock. That’s right, you’re not tripping and your math is not off. This year actually marks the 45th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Thirty-two bands were set to perform, only one, Iron Butterfly, didn’t make the show. Joni Mitchell was asked to perform but decided to stay behind to appear on late night television. She did make up for this by writing the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young hit, “Woodstock” after missing the concert to appear with Dick.

Parvovirus Can be Deadly to Dogs

Whole New York State thruway was shut down due to the massive crowd.

vulnerable to this virus and can die. In fact, the city of Lowell, Mass., just reported that 20 dogs died from parvo infection in August alone. The number prompted the city to sponsor free vaccination clinics to try to stem the spread of the illness. Parvo isn’t contagious to humans. Symptoms of parvovirus in dogs include lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting and foul-smelling diarrhea. A dog showing any of these symptoms should be taken to the vet right away for treatment, because the severe symptoms along with dehydration can become life-threatening very quickly. Cat owners shouldn’t breathe easy, either. While cats don’t become ill from the same virus that infects dogs, another virus, panleukopenia, has similar dire symptoms and is transmitted between cats in the same way (through fluids or feces). Make sure vaccinations are kept up to date in all pets.

In the crowd of 400,000 plus, there were no reported acts of violence and two births were reported; even though to this day no one has come forward claiming to be a Woodstock baby. Woodstock will, on its’ 45th anniversary, be regaled as the greatest rock’n’roll concert ever. Just 45 years after Woodstock, the Wounded Goose is celebrating its’ 5th year. We have Wild Game every Friday and now serving beer and wine...The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but out food doesn’t!

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): • In 1967, McDonald’s introduced “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun,” the ever popular Big Mac. This cheeseburger with a middle slice of bread to help prevent spillage had two previous names, the Aristocrat and the Blue Ribbon Burger. When neither name seemed to catch on, a 21-year-old secretary in McDonald’s corporate advertising department, Esther Glickstein Rose, came up with the name Big Mac. The burger made its debut in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, with a selling price of 45 cents. By the following year, all the McDonald’s restaurants had added it to their menu. • Of the more than 13,000 Burger Kings in 79 countries, about 66% of those are in the United States. More than 11 million people eat at a Burger King somewhere in the world every day. The world’s third largest hamburger chain, BK got its start in Miami, Florida in 1953 as Insta-Burger King. The Whopper was added to the menu in 1957. • Counting your calories? A Burger King cheeseburger has 360, and McDonald’s has 313. If you want a McD’s double cheeseburger, you’ll consume 459 calories. There are 550 calories in a Big Mac in the United States. In the United Kingdom, that burger is worth only 490 calories, while in Malaysia that number is 484. The lowest Big Mac calorie count is found in Chile at 478, with Japan have the highest at 557. It takes about 153 minutes of brisk walking to burn off the calories contained in a Big Mac. A slice of cheddar cheese adds about 113 calories to an ordinary burger.

• Something to think about before you make your next call: Those who study such things say that cellphones harbor more bacteria than the toilet handles in a public restroom. • The first private bathrooms on record date back to 8,000 B.C. Archaeologists on the Scottish island of Orkney have found the remains of stone huts built on a drainage system that emptied into a nearby stream. • If you’ve ever seen bears groggily emerge from hibernation in the springtime, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that a group of them is collectively known as a sloth of bears. (They’re also sometimes called a sleuth of bears, though the reasons for that are not obvious, as bear detectives seem somewhat improbable.) • A lightning bolt is five times hotter than the surface of the sun. • In the 1950s it was possible to buy a child’s atomic laboratory set. The U-238 Atomic Energy Set, marketed by the A.C. Gilbert Company, included lowlevel radioactive sources, uranium-bearing ore and a radiation gauge. • When you’re standing outside in a hard rain, the raindrops are hitting you at about 20 mph. • Every family has that one member who is hopelessly lazy, finding any excuse to avoid exerting effort. If you’d like to expand your vocabulary -- and avoid internecine squabbles -- you can call him or her a scobberlotcher. •Your funny bone isn’t actually a bone; it’s a nerve.

CHEESEBURGERS (continued): In case an ordinary cheeseburger isn’t your “cup of tea,” the Texas-based restaurant chain known as the Twisted Root Burger Company offers a variety of unusual game burgers, including venison, kangaroo, beaver, ostrich, emu, boar, alligator, and camel burgers. How about a cheeseburger that uses glazed doughnuts in place of a bun? Nicknamed The Luther after singer/songwriter Luther Vandross, who had a weakness for this burger, it can total between 800 and 1,500 calories. You can cut the caloric intake by eliminating the chocolate-covered bacon. If you’re feeling really hungry, stop by the BGR Burger Joint in Washington, D.C. and order up The 9-Pounder. This cheeseburger’s final weight is actually 15.4 lbs. (7 kg) after being topped with two heads of lettuce, eight tomatoes, three onions, and four whole pickles. Although it can feed between 10 and 15 people, if one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting, it’s free. The restaurant generously includes a free bottle of Maalox. New York City’s Serendipity 3 restaurant offers Le Burger Extravagant, a Japanese Wagyu beef burger infused with white truffle butter, seasoned with smoked Pacific sea salt, topped with hand-formed cheddar cheese, black truffles, and a fried quail egg. The bun is topped with caviar and a diamond-encrusted toothpick. This lunch will set you back $295, and be sure to call 48 hours in advance to order. How can Las Vegas’ Burger Brasserie charge $777 for their 777 Burger? It’s a combination of Kobe beef and Maine lobster topped with caramelized onions, imported Brie cheese, crispy prosciutto, and 100-year aged balsamic vinegar. The price is a little high because this entrée includes a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne.

Answer on Page 8

FAMOUS CANADIANS: THE PROPERTY BROTHERS There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Canada’s favorite reality stars, The Property Brothers. Here are the details on these handsome real estate experts. • Each week, HGTV viewers across the U.S. and Canada tune in to watch one or all of Drew and Jonathan Scott’s three hit shows, The Property Brothers, Buying & Selling, or Brother vs. Brother. Ratings on The Property Brothers have broken all of HGTV’s records. With Drew as the real estate agent and Jonathan as remodeling contractor, the 6’4” twins help first-time home buyers find and transform fixer-uppers into their dream home. Jonathan generates a 3-D computer design of what the renovated home will look like, digitally knocking down walls and adding new furnishings. They help the new homeowners stay within their remodeling budget because they’re budget-conscious themselves. As Jonathan jokes, “We’re Scottish, so we’re cheap!” • Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., the brothers were entrepreneurs at a very young age. When they turned seven, their father told them they needed to get a job, and the innovative pair started a decorative coat hanger business. They made the hangers themselves and sold them to local businesses, but before long, a Japanese company was buying crates of their hangers. • At age 18, the twins bought their first house and renovated it. As college freshmen, they flipped the house for a $50,000 profit. Although real estate seemed to be a good fit for them, the twins both tried their hand at acting first. Drew had a role in season six of Smallville, and Jonathan was in the TV series The X-Files for a short time.

THE PROPERTY BROTHERS (continued): • In college, Jonathan focused on business management while Drew majored in kinesiology and mathematics. Drew participated in a comedy troupe called the Raving Thespians, while Jonathan was a 13-time Canadian karate champion as well as concentrating his efforts on magic and illusion, becoming well-known as one of the world’s youngest international illusionists. • The twins began investing in real estate as a way to fund various film projects they were interested in. When the property ventures began to pay off, they turned it into their successful series. Yet Drew still found time to produce and direct several movie shorts and made-for-TV movies. • As if their three successful TV series aren’t enough, a new series is in the works, one which focuses on their own family home renovation in Las Vegas. The Scott brothers are also collaborating on a new book and developing their own furniture line. Their company Scott Real Estate, Inc. has offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Las Vegas. • Although the show features Drew as the real estate expert, both are licensed agents. Jonathan is also a licensed contractor, as well as maintaining a popular award-winning illusionist act in Las Vegas. • As part of their Scottish heritage, both brothers play the bagpipes and visit family in Scotland on a regular basis. • Drew and Jonathan were both voted Entertainment Tonight’s 2011 Hottest Canadian TV Bachelors. • The pair focus their philanthropic efforts on volunteering in the oncology ward at the Calgary, Alberta Children’s Hospital.

Pop Bottles Q: My son found some old bottles in a creek bed near our home. Most are soda-pop bottles, including Five-O, Quality, Dur and two early Coca-Colas. What can you tell me about them? -- Margretta, Centralia, Ill. A: One of the better references is “Soda Pop Collectibles Price Guide: The Encyclopedia of Soda Pop Collectibles” by Allan Petretti and published by Krause Books. Petretti is one of the country’s foremost experts on soda-pop memorabilia, and his book features thousands of illustrations documenting bottles and products from soda pop producers both big and small. This might be a good place for you to begin. This guide is updated periodically, so prices seem to accurately reflect the marketplace. It can be ordered directly from the publisher: Krause Books, 700 East State St., Iola, WI 54990; and 888-457-2873. Q: I have a four-piece set of Hardee’s first series of California Raisins: Ben Indasun, Justin X. Grape, Sax Player and Tiny Goodbite. How much are they worth? -- Ben, Denton, Texas A: The California Raisins figurines, which were given away as premiums by Hardee’s, pop up more often on the East Coast and in the South, since that is where most of the restaurants in the chain were

located. I checked several price guides and believe the four California Raisins figurines you have are worth about $5 each. Incidentally, Hardee’s issued a second series and eventually a third and final series. Q: I have a copy of “Heidi,” a Windermere Reader School edition from 1954. It is in excellent condition. Could it be worth anything? -- Amelia, West Warwick, R.I. A: I found a copy of your book at www.abe.com for $5. This is an excellent website that lists books by title and dealers offering them for sale. When using it, make certain you search for the right publisher and edition. Q: I have several Hummel’s in the Christmas Bell series. How can I determine values? -- Beth, Hammond, La. A: According to “The Official M.J. Hummel Price Guide” by Heidi Ann Von Recklinghausen and published by Krause Books, the Christmas Bell series was introduced in 1989. From that first issue through 2000, this guide claims the bells are worth about $30 each. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com AVOCADOS In celebration of National Guacamole Day on September 16, Tidbits looks into the facts on the avocado. • The word “avocado” comes from the Aztec word ahuacatl. The ancient Aztecs prepared guacamole in a molcajete, which was a mortar and pestle tool carved from volcanic rock. Clear back in the 1500s when Spanish explorers encountered the Aztecs, that civilization was making ahuaca-mulli, which translates “avocado mixture.” • Native to Central and South America, cultivation of avocados in the United States began the early 1900s. Major producers of this fruit are Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Colombia, and the state of California, which grows 90% of America’s crop. There are about 7,000 avocado groves in the Golden State, with San Diego County designated the Avocado Capital of the U.S. • Lots of folks think that the avocado is a vegetable, but it’s actually the fruit of the Persea Americana tree, a tall evergreen that grows up to 65 feet (19.8 m) in height. One tree can produce about 50 avocados a year. The fruits will not ripen on the tree, and must be picked in order to initiate the ripening process. The avocado, a single-seeded berry, has been nicknamed the alligator pear because of its shape and rough green skin. • We often think of the banana as having the highest measure of potassium, while in fact, there is twice the potassium in one avocado than there is in one banana, 975 mg. compared to 487 mg. The avocado also has one of the highest amounts of protein in a fruit, with 4 grams in one avocado. One medium avocado also has 10 grams of fiber.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 AVOCADOS (continued): • The health benefits of the avocado are many, including a rich supply of 18 essential amino acids, which are important for the body’s protein-building process. The fruit is an excellent source of the carotenoid lutein, essential for eye health, reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. • It’s true that the avocado is very high in fat – about 85% of its calories come from fat, about 20 times the average for other fruits. However, 20 of the 30 grams of fat in one serving of the avocado are beneficial ones, sterols that keep the body’s inflammation under control. Its anti-inflammatory properties have proven beneficial to those suffering from arthritis. The fruit contributes to cardiovascular and heart health as well. It helps boost “good” cholesterol, while lowering the “bad.” Research is also underway to study the avocado’s ability to prevent certain kinds of cancer, including the mouth, skin, and prostrate.

• Avocados are good for the outside of the body, too! Their amino acids and essential oils help repair damaged hair, provide moisture for dry skin, and treat sunburns. • Brazilians enjoy the flavor of avocados so much, they mix them in with ice cream as a very popular dessert item there. • If you need to use your avocados and they aren’t ripe, you can speed up that process by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana, either of which will release ethylene gas that helps the avocados ripen more rapidly.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Weight Gain Isn’t Inevitable With Age DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a woman and will be 59 in a month. I’m in excellent health. I’ve worked out seriously with weight-bearing exercises for nearly 30 years. I have great muscle tone, and I believe I am height/weight proportional (5 feet, 2 inches tall, weigh 130 pounds). Is it inevitable that women gain weight as they age? Is it possible to maintain weight past menopause? I have slowly gained five pounds in the past year, and I’ve developed a little bulge under my navel. I’ve increased my cardio workout to lose weight, while continuing my weight-lifting regimen. I seem to be getting results slowly but surely. But that bulge is still there. Should I just learn to live with it? -- D.H. ANSWER: Many women would be very envious of your good health and even your current weight and waistline numbers. However, in your case, it is healthiest to continue at the same weight you have been all your life. Also, abdominal fat is the most

metabolically active fat, and the one most likely to increase your risk of heart disease. It’s not inevitable that you’ll gain weight. Both men and women tend to slow down a bit metabolically as we age. Unless exercise increases or food intake decreases, you are at risk for weight gain. Highly processed, starchy foods may increase your risk of weight gain. Slow but sure results definitely are best, so keep at it and don’t get frustrated. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My friend had skin cancer on her nose, and her doctor treated it by cutting it off. My friend said she has had many, and her doctor always cuts them off. I had skin cancer about 20 years ago. My doctor gave me Efudex cream, which worked on my skin cancers, but did nothing to my healthy skin. Why in the world aren’t today’s skin-cancer doctors prescribing Efudex? It’s so great. -- D.P.

DEAR DR. ROACH: What can you tell me about prurigo nodularis? Is there a cure? -- N.R.

ANSWER: I don’t have enough information to say what the best treatment is for your friend. For the most common skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma, both surgery and 5-fluorouracil (Efudex) are very effective, around 95 percent effective or more. However, authorities recommend particular care with Efudex around the eyes, lips and nose, and in these cases surgery may be both more effective and better tolerated. If the cancer was a squamous cell cancer, Efudex is sometimes used, but surgery tends to be preferred.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

ANSWER: “Prurigo” is from the Latin word for “itching,” and so prurigo nodularis is a chronic skin condition of itchy nodules, most commonly on the outsides of the arms and legs. The itching can be quite severe. Because prurigo nodularis sometimes is associated with systemic medical disease, the dermatologist normally will look for kidney and liver problems and chronic infections. Unfortunately, there is not a cure. Most people get relief from steroids, and ointments tend to be more powerful than the cream form. Placing a bandage on top further increases effectiveness. Injection of steroids can be done by an expert, usually a dermatologist.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com Squirrels Set Up Residence in Attic

A: You may very well have a squirrel infestation. Like other rodents, squirrels can damage insulation and electrical wiring, so getting rid of them is a priority. Take a closer look at your home’s eaves and soffits to find out all the points of entry. It’s likely that some small damage occurred underneath the eaves, and the squirrels exploited it. They will still be using this new “front door” they created. Head back into the attic and hunt for nests or other signs of squirrels. Nests often are built using insulation -- sometimes in the insulation -- along the outer edges of the attic. Also, locate the entry point and other points of entry and mark them with chalk or tape. Block up all entry points except one. From this point, you have a choice to make: Do you want to trap and release the squirrels, or do you want to kill them? If it’s the latter, you can place poison bait for rodents (including squirrels) near entry points and nests, or use kill traps. If that’s not your thing, purchase a live trap with a one-way door. Set it in the attic at the one remaining entry point. Do this at midday, when the squirrels are more likely to be out looking for food. If you’re not sure that they’re outside, set a live trap near the nesting spot, with a little bait inside (like peanut butter). Once trapped, take the squirrel(s) to a new area, away from other houses but not too far from their original roaming area. Once done, block the remaining entry point and then repair all damaged areas. Additionally, have an electrician go over the attic wiring to make sure it hasn’t been damaged.

• A better use for soda: Use it to scrub your pots and pans. If you have grime and slime, try letting the acids in soda pop work it out for you. Pour enough soda to cover the bottom of the pots or pans and let soak for 5-10 minutes. Then scrub away.

HOME TIP: Don’t block attic vents to prevent squirrel infestation; instead, install a sturdy mesh cover to keep rodents out while allowing crucial airﬂow in. Send your questions or home tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com.

• Frugal doesn’t have to mean unfashionable. There are plenty of how-to instructions on the Internet for turning fashion trash into treasure.

Yoga Boosts Memory Yoga is thought of as an umbrella term for various forms of the discipline, but some kinds of yoga are said to be better for seniors than others. A study done by the University of Illinois focused on Hatha yoga, which uses specific poses with flowing movements, meditation and breathing. Researchers divided seniors ranging from 55 to 79 years of age into two groups. One group did the specific Hatha yoga steps, and the other did toning and stretching. The results: Those who took the yoga classes three times a week for eight weeks had better information recall (faster and more accurate), as well as mental flexibility. They experienced “significant improvements in working memory capacity.” What’s key: The half of the participants who did only stretching and toning instead of yoga didn’t have the same cognitive performance results. There are, however, dozens of other forms of yoga for seniors to explore, and classes are popping up everywhere, as well as for tai chi and qigong. After taking yoga, tai chi and qigong classes, here is my assessment: Yoga (any kind) involves painful poses, some on the floor. Tai chi is done standing up, but poses are complicated. Qigong has gentle, flowing movements done standing up. All of them offer benefits for strength, flexibility, balance, stress reduction -- and memory, in my estimation. Your best bet is to find a yoga, tai chi or qigong class specifically for seniors, perhaps one that’s taught by your local senior center or hospital. Ask questions in advance. If you have a computer, go online to search yoga, tai chi and qigong individually. Check videos and watch the poses. Think about which type is right for you. You’ll get a benefit from all of them.
