TIDBITS® LOOKS AT SOME FORMER TEACHERS by Kathy Wolfe
October 5 is World Teachers Day, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to investigate well-known folks who were teachers before they became famous. Take a look – you might be surprised at who were former educators. • Prior to his role as the fictional Sheriff Andy Taylor in Mayberry, Andy Griffith taught English at the high school in Goldsboro, North Carolina. He was also responsible for creating the school’s award-winning marching band during his tenure from 1949 to 1953. • Art Garfunkel is more than just a stellar singer/ songwriter. He’s also a math whiz who earned an M.A. in the subject from Columbia University, and was working toward his doctorate during the peak of Simon & Garfunkel’s fame. Shortly after the immense success of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” the duo parted ways, and Art branched out into acting, with roles in 1970’s Catch-22 and 1971’s Carnal Knowledge. He also took a position as a math teacher at a private prep school in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1971. It was a little difficult being a pop star math teacher. In Garfunkel’s words, “I would talk them through a math problem and ask if anyone had any questions and they would say, ‘What were the Beatles like?’” turn the page for more!

• Before he was Mr. T, He was Mr. Tureaud, working as a physical education teacher in the Chicago public schools system. Lawrence Tureaud had his break-out movie role in 1982’s Rocky III after being discovered by Sylvester Stallone, and went on to his role as Sgt. Baracus in the NBC series “The A-Team.” Speaking of Stallone, he also worked as a gym teacher while attending the American College in Switzerland during the 1960s. • Stephen King hasn’t always been a successful author.

Home Alone DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever I’m away for several hours -- at work, mostly -- my dog tears up the house. “General” will knock over lamps, chew sofa cushions, destroy my shoes ... you name it. My boyfriend says he’s got behavioral issues, and I need to be more dominant. How do I do that? -- Sara T., Philadelphia DEAR SARA: Dominance, or showing a dog who’s boss, isn’t the issue here. (In fact, many dog behaviorists turning against the idea of using dominance or making yourself the “alpha dog” for any reason.) General is suffering severe separation anxiety. You do need to address it for his emotional and mental well-being. First, talk about his behavior with the veterinarian, who likely will recommend medication to calm him when you leave the house. The better goal, however, is to help General get past his anxiety. You may be able to help
him see that you’re not going away forever, and that each time you leave the house you will come back. A common way to do this is to dress as if you’re going to work, say goodbye to General, and leave -- but only for about five minutes. Then come back inside and greet him. Repeat this frequently, slowly lengthening the time you’re away until you can be out for an hour or more. You also can leave little treats or toys around the house for General to play with. Walking your dog before you leave can relieve some of his restless energy. If you’re only taking General out to relieve himself before you head off to work, try going out much earlier and walking further or playing with General. If medication and/or desensitization training don’t work, consult a trainer who specializes in separation anxiety. Send your questions or tips to ask@ pawscorner.com.

If you’re not getting together for family dinners yet you’ve gotta get motivated. Remember that a hot dinner cooked with love feeds more than the belly. Your family identity will be enhanced the more you eat meals together. Civilization was built around the dinner table. Breaking bread together, a symbolic peace-making gesture, has more than just a political meaning, it’s a vital way of touching base as a family Speaking of Bread... here’s a fun, kid-friendly recipe to try....
PULL APART PIZZA BREAD Gather a round loaf of sourdough bread, melted butter, garlic salt, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. Cut the bread lengthwise into slices about an inch apart. Cut pretty deep but be sure they stay attached at the bottom. Now cut crosswise so you have lots of bread squares on top of the loaf. Move the loaf onto an oversized sheet of foil and start stuffing all the nooks and crannies with toppings and cheese. You’ll fit a lot more in there than you’d think!! When it’s all stuffed brush the top of the bread with butter, sprinkle with garlic salt and pam and wrap the entire thing in foil. Bake in the oven at 400 for ten to fifteen minutes and serve with Marinara or Ranch! When you do decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Family Game Night, each week we’re serving up a different wild game. This Friday’s Wild Game Feature is Buffalo Rocky Moutain Oysters. Hungry for more? Find this and other great tips on our Facebook page. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition but our food doesn’t. Closing October 4th thru October 7th for Remodeling Project

FORMER TEACHERS CTS (continued): • Thirty-sixth President Lyndon B. Johnson was a school principal and teacher of 5th, 6th, and 7th-graders at the Mexican-American Welhausen School in Cotulla, Texas, in 1927 when he was just 19 years old. He went on to teach public speaking at high schools in Pearsall and Houston, Texas, before entering politics in 1937. As a Congressman in 1941, he was the first member of Congress to volunteer for active duty after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He reported to the U.S. Navy on December 9, just two days after the bombing. Johnson was sworn in as U.S. President approximately 90 minutes after President John F. Kennedy was declared dead in a Dallas hospital. He took the oath of office in the conference room aboard Air Force One, as the plane sat at Dallas’ Love Field, the first and only time a President has been sworn in on an airplane. • The second U.S. President, John Adams, also did a stint as a schoolmaster in Worcester, Massachusetts. He found the profession boring and stated that his students were a “large number of little runtlings, just capable of lisping A, B, C, and troubling the master.” Yet he kept the job in order to pay the bills while attending law school. • From 1974 to 1976, Gordon Sumner used his degree from Northern Counties Teachers Training College in Newcastle, England, to teach at a convent school in nearby Cramington for two years, the only male on the faculty. On his free evenings, he played in a group called the Phoenix Jazzmen, and frequently wore his favorite black-and-yellow-striped sweater while performing. The bandleader thought Gordon looked like a bee and gave him the nickname “Sting.” In 1977, Sumner moved to London and teamed up with two others to form the band The Police. Today, Sting’s net worth is estimated in the $300 million range.

Rare Book
Q: At one time, I was very interested in astronomy and sundials. I acquired a book called “Mechanick Dialling; or the New Art of Shadows” by Charles Leadbetter and published in 1756. It covers the source of creating sundials in great detail, with illustrations, for any type of surface and any place in the world. In the 1700s, sundials were important for the average person, since clocks and watches were scarce and too expensive for anyone but the very wealthy. My book is in excellent condition, and all of the fold-out illustrations are intact. Could you help me find out the value of my book? -LeRoy, Decatur, Illinois A: Your book sounds fascinating. To determine its value, I contacted several rare-book dealers and discovered that the first edition published in 1737 sells for about $500. Even though your edition was published a little later, it is still rare and desirable to collectors and would sell for about the same amount. I found a copy of the 1756 edition offered for sale by a London dealer at www.abe.com priced at $515.26. Q: My dad was a big fan of Adlai Stevenson, who ran for president during the early 1950s. I have a number of campaign buttons and
wonder if they are worth keeping. -- Stan, Durango, Colorado A: Adlai Stevenson buttons, pins and badges from the 1950s generally sell in the $5 to $50 range. Some of the rarer items sell for more. To get a good idea of current values, I suggest you get a copy of “Warman’s Political Collectibles: Identification and Price Guide” by Dr. Enoch L. Nappen and published by Krause Books. Q: I have a fork that belonged to my uncle who served in World War I in about 1914. It has the same markings on both sides of the handle. Could you tell me its value? -- Helen, Princeton, Kentucky A: I was unable to find your fork in any of my military price guides, so nailing down a precise value is a little difficult. I suggest you show it to antique dealers in your area. Get several opinions. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, 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 does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

* In a recent survey of parents with adult children, 45 percent of respondents said they would rather stay in a hotel than in the home of one of their kids. * In 2009, the government of Saudi Arabia established a special Anti-Witchcraft Unit to combat the practice of sorcery. By 2011, there were nine bureaus in cities across the country. The following year, 215 people were arrested for sorcery. * Those who study such things say that all kangaroos are left-handed. * When you think of hibernation, you probably picture a bear holing up in a cave for the winter, right? You might be surprised to learn that creatures don’t just hibernate to get through the winter months; almost any adverse environmental condition can trigger such a response. For instance, on the island of Madagascar, the fattailed dwarf lemur hibernates for seven months during the dry season. * If you’re a fan of Major League Baseball, you’re going to pay three times as much to attend a game in Boston as in San Diego. * Wildlife biologists say that the milk from a mother hippopotamus is pink. * The size of a nickel represents the halfway point between the size of an atom and the size of the earth. If an atom were the size of a nickel, a nickel would be the size of the earth. *** Thought for the Day: “I like the pluralism of modernity; it doesn’t threaten my faith.

FORMER TEACHERS (continued): • We know him best as the bass player of the band KISS, with his face painted white with black flames. But prior to his musical fame, Gene Simmons was a teacher of sixthgraders in a Harlem, New York, grade school. Simmons was born Chaim Witz in Israel to a mother who had survived the Holocaust. The two of them emigrated to New York City when Simmons was eight years old, without knowing a word of English. (This musician now speaks English, Hungarian, Hebrew, and German.) KISS, formed in 1973 in New York, has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and has 45 gold albums to date. Despite his somewhat “demonic” look, Gene Simmons says he has never drunk alcohol, taken drugs, or even smoked a cigarette. • Singer Kris Kristofferson might not have been the successful singer he is today had he not turned down the opportunity to teach Literature at West Point Academy. Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar, earning a Master’s degree in English Literature at Oxford, graduating summa cum laude, and even appeared in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd” for his accomplishments in collegiate rugby, football, and track and field. After graduation, he joined the Army and rose to the rank of Captain, completing Ranger training, and becoming a helicopter pilot. At the end of his tour in 1965, Kristofferson was offered a professorship at West Point. At the last minute, he turned down the offer, resigned his commission, and pursued a music career. His family, including his U.S. Air Force Major General father, disowned him and never reconciled with him.

® of®Gallia, Tidbits Jackson, Vinton, & Mason Counties Tidbits of Gallia, Jackson, MeigsMeigs & Mason Counties NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: JOHN SPILSBURY
For literally hundreds of years, people of all ages have enjoyed putting jigsaw puzzles together. Here’s the history of this favorite pastime. • Born in England in 1739, at age 14, John Spilsbury became an apprentice to Thomas Jeffreys, an engraver, map seller, and the Royal Geographer to the King. At 21, Spilsbury branched out on his own as an engraver, mapmaker, and printer of children’s educational books, maps, charts, and stationery. • In 1766, when he was 26, Spilsbury devised the idea of mounting maps on a sheet of hardwood. Using a fine-bladed marquetry saw, he cut around the borders of the countries, with the goal of teaching Geography to British students. He called his invention “Dissected Maps,” and became the first commercial manufacturer of jigsaws. Over the next two years, he marketed several different styles, including the world, Africa, America, Asia, Europe, England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Unfortunately, Spilsbury did not live to see the great success of his invention, passing away at age 30. • For the next 50 years, the puzzles were primarily an educational activity. They gradually transitioned into a leisure pastime, with illustrations mounted on plywood. They were still known as “dissections,” but when the treadle saw was introduced around 1880, they began to be called “jigsaw puzzles.” Penciled tracings of where to cut the pieces were made on the back of the wood.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 SPILSBURY (continued): • In the late 1800s, cardboard puzzles made their debut, mostly for children’s puzzles. For many years, they were not the top seller, as retailers continued to stock mostly wooden puzzles, believing that customers liked them better than “cheap” cardboard varieties. • The puzzles of the early 20th century did not interlock, and many an hour’s work was negated by a bump to the table. Adult puzzles of this era did not have the picture on the box and the subject matter was a mystery until all the pieces were in place. • Early puzzles were quite expensive, as much as $5 for a 500-piece puzzle in 1908, because each piece was cut individually. Cardboard puzzle quality improved and prices dropped with the invention of a device that would die cut them in a press. Strips of metal with sharp edges were fastened to a plate, much like a cookie cutter, enabling the mass production of puzzles. • During the 1930s, puzzles were a method of advertising, with stores offering free puzzles with the purchase of a toothbrush or other sundry item. The illustration featured an image of the product, a clever way for manufacturers to keep a vision of their item in the consumers’ minds. Puzzles were especially popular during the Great Depression as an inexpensive form of entertainment. Sales of adult puzzles were an astounding 10 million per week. Puzzles were also something that could be made by hand at home by those who could not afford the store-bought kinds. • Today, people enjoy jigsaw puzzles more than any other table game. • The record for the most pieces assembled together in a single jigsaw is 209,250, an event that took place at Taiwan’s Grand Formosa Regent Hotel.

Tidbits continues celebrating World Teachers Day by focusing on author J.K. Rowling, who has been wildly successful with her Harry Potter series of books. • The life of Joanne Kathleen Rowling has been a true “rags-to-riches” story. Born in 1965 to a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer father and science technician mother, Rowling went from receiving welfare benefits as a single mother to being a multi-millionaire in just five years. • Shortly after the death of her mother from multiple sclerosis in 1990 when Joanne was 25, she answered a newspaper ad for an English teacher in Portugal. It was while working at a language institute in that country that she began penning the stories that would become the series about a young wizard. She claims she was on a four-hour-delayed train trip when the idea “came fully formed” into her mind. • Her teaching duties were in the evenings, freeing up her day to write, which she did while listening to the music of Tchaikovsky. She married and had a child in Portugal, but after three years, she was back in England as “poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless.” • Two years later, Rowling finished typing the manuscript on her old manual typewriter and went looking for a publisher. Twelve publishing houses rejected the story of Harry Potter. Finally, in 1997, a London publisher, whose chairman’s 8-year-old daughter had read and loved the first chapter, agreed to a run of 1,000 copies under the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Rowling’s editor advised her to get a day job, because he couldn’t see her as a children’s book author. As her book began winning award after award, it was plain to see Rowling had a bright future.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 J.K. ROWLING (continued): • The second and third books in the series followed in 1998 and 1999. When the fourth book, Goblet of Fire was released in 2000, its first-day sales were nearly as much as the first year’s sales of the second book, Prisoner of Azkaban. During its first 48 hours in the U.S., three million copies of Goblet were sold, breaking all records. • The sixth book in the series, The Half-Blood Prince, went on sale in 2005, with U.S. sales of nine million copies in the first 24 hours. The seventh and final book, The Deathly Hallows, was released in 2007, breaking all previous records with 11 million books the first day. The books have now been translated into 65 languages. • Rowling sold the film rights to Warner Brothers and the first of eight films premiered in 2001. It took 10 years to complete the filming of the series. The first movie was to be directed by Steven Spielberg, but he declined the offer. It was his thought that the series should be animated films, with American actor Haley Joel Osment voicing Harry Potter. Rowling had specifically demanded that the principal cast be British. • The eight-film series garnered 12 total Oscar nominations, but strangely enough, won no awards. The series grossed over $7.7 billion worldwide, more than the first 22 James Bond films combined, and the six Star Wars movies. • J.K. Rowling is ranked as the 12th richest woman in the United Kingdom, with an estimated worth of approximately $1 billion.

By Keith Roach, M. D, No Harm in Taking Nitro for Angina DEAR DR. ROACH: Could you write about the effect that angina, stopped quickly by nitro, has on one’s system? My husband takes Imdur (30 mg) twice a day to control angina, although he still experiences it several times a week, necessitating a nitroglycerin pill. Sometimes angina comes from exertion, such as climbing stairs a few times or doing home-maintenance chores. He is 89 and in relatively good health. He has had bypass surgery and several catheterizations, with eight stents. He doesn’t need a cane or use oxygen. His cardiologist suggested EECP, which my husband does not want to endure, believing the medicines are working fine. His quality of life is good -- angina does not interfere with going out and enjoying himself. Is he taking angina too lightly because he can stop it by popping a nitro? -- M.W. ANSWER: Angina pectoris literally means “chest pain,” but in my experience people with angina due to blockages in the arteries of the heart are more likely to complain of pressure or tightness than actual pain. Angina occurs when the heart’s demand for blood oxygen exceeds the supply. This usually means during exercise. If the blood supply is fixed due to a blockage in the heart, the heart simply can’t get enough oxygen above a certain level of exercise. If the person with angina stops exercising, the demand for oxygen goes back down below what can be supplied, and the angina goes away. Stable angina is associated with a low risk for heart attack. Medications like isosorbide (Imdur) and nitroglycerine work by dilating the blood vessels in order to increase supply. These medicines also dilate veins, which reduces the demands on the heart. Stents are designed to keep blockages open. Nonetheless, there are many people who continue to have angina despite what can be done with medicine and stents. EECP (enhanced external counterpulsation) is a new technique. Cuffs wrapped around the legs are synchronized with the EKG and squeeze strongly when the heart is at rest. This forces blood backward through the arteries and into the blood vessels of the heart. It may work by making some blood vessels larger, but the exact mechanism isn’t clear. EECP is used for people with stable angina. It takes 35 hours of EECP over four to seven weeks to get benefits, and about 70 percent of people had improvement from severe angina to mild or none. EECP is a big investment of time, and is usually reserved for people whose angina is more disabling than your husband’s. At 89, your husband certainly is entitled to say he is doing fine the way he is and not wanting further treatments. Coronary artery disease can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack. The booklet on the disease explains its causes, symptoms (such as angina) and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 101W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. 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. *** 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 Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

The Skins Game If you ever need to look up the phrase in a dictionary, there are many available on the Internet. There is Dictionary.com, Merriamwebster.com, the Urban dictionary, even Wikipedia operates as a dictionary in some respects. Either way, I can save you, dear reader, a lot of time by just telling you here: The textbook definition of “wasting your time” is debating the Washington Redskins’ nickname with a Redskins fan at a chain pizzeria in Alexandria, Virginia. For one thing, the argument is over before it even starts. Here’s a quick multi-question diagnostic test for anyone wanting to play along at home: 1. Are you a Native American? 2. If yes, are you offended by the term “Redskin?” 3. If no, are you the owner of the team who has vowed to never change its name? 4. If yes, are you of Jewish heritage and do you sue people for libel, claiming to be outraged over anti-Semitic attacks? 5. If yes, you are Dan Snyder? And really, the excuse that you will have to change a few T-shirts and that it will cost too much is wearing just about as thin as the burgundy and gold, non-official, much-too-snug for 2015 “Redskins Hog Heaven 1995” T-shirt the guy defending the Redskins nickname is wearing at the chain pizzeria. Louis C.K. makes the correct observation that late in the 15th century, a bunch of dudes took a boat ride from Europe and thought they landed in India. “You guys are Indians, right?” they asked. “No,” the natives replied. “We’re like, totally different people.” Armed with that knowledge, six centuries later, not only do we continue to persist in calling the indigenous people of this continent names more suited for the peoples who live on a sub-continent bordering THE INDIAN OCEAN, but in our nation’s capital, we use the slur variation of their name as a mascot. And this isn’t about the guy who lives in his parent’s basement, who comes up for air long enough to flirt with the bartendress and defend his beloved team’s honor over a personal deep dish. Nor is this an opportunity for somebody to spout some ridiculous nonsense about political correctness run amok, and that’s why we need to vote for a guy who used to own the New Jersey Generals. For one thing, I agree. Political correctness is kind of anti-productive at times. Why should we be tiptoeing around the tulips of somebody’s idiocy just because we are afraid of a fight? Change the name. I don’t care if you grew up with a bunch of John Riggins posters on your walls. The Native Americans don’t like the name. They’re offended. That should supersede your love of Mark Rypien and Joe Theisman jerseys. Change the name. Times are different now. O.J. Simpson is a killer; Bill Cosby is a serial rapist; the guy who used to be on the Wheaties box is now a girl, and he’s against gay marriage; and the guy who lost weight eating subs is a pedophile. We’re talking about a football team, not genocide or bulletin boards in high school or your favorite flavor of pudding pops. We’re talking about a national embarrassment in our nation’s capital (if we were to relocate our capital to Landover, Maryland) that extends well past the team’s pitiful performances on the field year in and year out. Change the name. It’s time. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

On a recent afternoon when my son texted me to check in, I nimbly replied with sticky fingers, “I’m preoccupied with taking pics of pints of pickled ....” While laughing at the preponderance of P’s, I accidentally pressed “send.” He immediately wrote back, “Pickled PEPPERS? ... ha!” Hmm, OK, so I may have left the peppers out of this recipe, but keeping with the “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled ...” verse that took us back to his childhood, I simply replied, “perhaps.” Word play and food play are interchangeable with kids, no matter their age. Preparing pickled veggies this time of year is the perfect antidote for using and enjoying the abundance of fresh, tender and tasty produce in our gardens and markets. You and your kids can create jars full to stack in the refrigerator in less than an hour for a month of tasty sides. Discover, like my family, that the vegetables will be sweet like bread and butter pickles, but will pack more flavor than the traditional grocery-store fare. Here’s how to “pickle it” all:

Cortland: A fine all-purpose apple, this large round apple remains firm when baked. Cortland is a good choice for fruit salads because the raw slices do not discolor.
Granny Smith: Very crisp and slightly acidic, this green-skinned apple is named for its original cultivator, an Australian grandmother. Its slices hold their shape well during baking, so it’s a good choice for pies. Jonagold: A crisp, yellow-fleshed apple that works well in pies, cobblers and applesauce. Macoun: A cross between the McIntosh and Jersey Black, it has fragrant white flesh and is a good allpurpose apple. McIntosh: Round and juicy, this apple’s flesh softens when cooked. Best for applesauce, eating out of hand, or in combination with firmer apples in pies. Newtown Pippin: A somewhat small apple with tart, firm flesh. Great in pies. Red Delicious: The most familiar red-skinned apple; best for eating out of hand. Rome Beauty: A large, aromatic apple that is excellent for baking whole.

Reversing Muscle Loss Most of us already have experienced it: age-related muscle loss. It doesn’t matter how athletic we were in our youth, some degree of muscle loss is to be expected. Researchers have long wondered how to avoid it, and now it appears they’ve found the answer: green tomatoes and apple peels. It turns out that both green tomatoes and apple peels contain the right molecules of ursolic acid and tomatidine, and can reduce transcription factor ATF4, which is a key in age-related muscle loss. None of this muscle loss happened overnight. In fact, it started very subtly when we were between 30 and 40 years old. As time went on, we lost muscle strength as well as mass. By the time we hit age 65, it’s fairly obvious in most of us. Without enough strength, we can have fractures from falls, which leads to disuse of muscles while we heal, which leads to further muscle loss, which can lead to loss of independence. Researchers at the University of Iowa are to be commended for going down the tomato and apple road once they discovered the correlation between the fruits and a lack of certain chemicals in aging muscles. Experimenting with mice, they discovered that in two months on a special diet that promoted the missing ursolic acid and tomatidine, the mice increased muscle mass by 10 percent and muscle strength by 30 percent. That’s significant. The next step is for researchers and biotechnical companies to turn this information into foods, pharmaceuticals or supplements that we can really use to recover our former muscle strength and mass. Meanwhile, an apple a day probably won’t hurt. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Women veterans haven’t gotten the same level of health care as male veterans. Here are just a few of the obstacles they face in trying to obtain medical care at most of the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities: No wellness facilities, requiring referrals to other facilities for basics such as mammograms. No GYN staff; no prenatal care; no delivery of babies. Co-ed waiting rooms. Male therapy groups. Prostheses made for men. No separate wards, being put in rooms with men, and no privacy except a curtain. And the list continues: No mental-health staff and counseling for women who’ve been assaulted (which is thought to be one in four women veterans). No separate restrooms. Mail that notifies a female she’s due for a prostate exam. There are over 2 million women veterans who are eligible for VA care. Only a fraction use it. Is it any wonder why? And then there is Togas VA Medical Center in Maine. Last year it moved women’s care out of the cramped 5th floor and into a new, separate facility that includes everything needed in one spot: Mental-health counseling for sexual trauma, primary care and even a play area for children. In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a women veterans health clinic opened with all-female staff and a mental-health office. At White River, Vermont, all the womencentered care is available, and there’s even a Women Veterans Program Manager. If you’re a female veteran who’s avoided VA care, give it another chance. At least make the phone call and ask questions. At this point, with more women-centered facilities opening, you might be surprised. Or go online to www.womenshealth.va.gov. Put your ZIP code in the Hospital Locator on the left of the screen, and you’ll get a list of facilities near you. Or call 1-855-VA-WOMEN. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
