‘Tis the season, and Tidbits is saying “Ho, Ho, Ho” by bringing you info on a variety of words beginning with Ho-. • One of the most common uses of Hollandaise sauce is to smother Eggs Benedict, a breakfast dish consisting of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs, and the sauce. Hollandaise’s ingredients are butter, egg yolks, and lemon juice or vinegar. It’s believed that the dish originated at New York City’s Waldorf Hotel in 1894. • There’s a name for that fancy seat or carriage that people ride in on the back of an elephant or camel. It’s a howdah! The word is derived from the Arabic language meaning “bed carried by a camel.” In the past, it was used most often to transport wealthy folks during hunting or warfare. Depending on the rider’s riches, it could be lavishly decorated with expensive jewels and gems. • The word we frequently use for appetizers, hors d’oeuvre, is a French word meaning “outside of the work,” or “apart from the [main] work.” We use it to describe food served before the main course. • Lots of folks love ham hocks, but what exactly is a hock? It’s the cut of meat from either the front or hind leg just above the foot. turn the page for more!

HO, HO, HO! (continued): • Fans of the 1960s sitcoms “Petticoat Junction” and “Green Acres” will remember the name of the fictional location of the programs, Hooterville. The adventures of “Petticoat Junction,” which ran from 1963 to 1970, revolved around the Shady Rest Hotel, owned and operated by widow Kate Bradley, her lazy Uncle Joe, and her three daughters, Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, and Betty Jo. Residents of Hooterville included General Store owner Sam Drucker, businessman Mr. Haney, and pig farm owners, the Ziffels. In 1965, a wealthy New York City couple, lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas and his socialite wife Lisa moved from their Park Avenue penthouse to the community and starred in the spinoff “Green Acres.” Hooterville was loosely based on the producer’s wife’s family’s home, Eldon, Missouri. According to Sam Drucker, Hooterville was founded in 1868 by Horace Hooter. • Hooverville is totally different from Hooterville. In the midst of the Great Depression, thousands of homeowners lost their property when they defaulted on mortgages or taxes. After being evicted from their homes, they sought shelter wherever they could find it. Encampments of tents and shacks sprang up across the nation on empty land, usually near free soup kitchens. These shanty towns that housed the homeless became known as Hoovervilles, named after President Herbert Hoover, whom many blamed for the economic crisis. • Alcoholic beverages are often referred to as “hooch.” The word has its origins in an Alaskan Indian tribe, the Hoochinoos, who distilled liquor and reportedly sold it illegally in the late 19th century. • If you’ve sprained your ankle, you might have to hobble along. But the word has another meaning for equestrians. It means the rider has fastened the legs of a horse together to keep it from straying.

Welcome to Goose Tips! This is Kat with the Wounded Goose. I’ll be the the first to admit that when I was a kid I didn’t appreciate the value of a dollar...let alone a penny. After awhile though, pennies add up to dollars. The Wounded Goose opened on April 1, 2009. That 6 1/2 years (just about 2400 days ago). The neat thing is we started saving a dollar a day...in pennies...More that 20 dedicated workers, 4 days and almost 250,000 pennies later we have a gorgeous, copper, handlaid, made in the USA floor in the dining room. They say a penny saved is a penny earned. I think a penny saved is a tile floor.
Pet Insurance Checklist
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My veterinarian recommended that I buy pet insurance for my puppy, “Max.” Should I purchase the insurance that the vet recommends, or can I choose my own policy? -- New Owner in Nashville DEAR NEW OWNER: Pet owners should always compare pet insurance policies to see what will work best for their budget and breed of dog (or cat, or other pet). There are a number of questions you should ask. Each insurance provider will have a slightly different answer, price and type of coverage. Here are a few things to look for when considering a policy, courtesy of DVM360: * Does your pet’s veterinarian accept the type of insurance coverage you’re considering? * Is the insurance company licensed in your state? * Does the policy cover “wellness” or “preventive care” such as annual checkups and shots?
* What are the minimum and maximum pet ages for enrollment? * What is the policy’s deductible? Can you change that deductible from year to year? * What kind of health conditions or care are not included? * What are the annual and lifetime care limits, if any? * What if your pet has a pre-existing condition? * Are there any extra fees that could be charged? Are any discounts available? * How much will you pay per month for the policy? Will those rates increase? These are just some of the important questions you should ask of a pet policy provider. You’ll want to find a balance between the cost of the policy and the amount of coverage it provides for different health situations. Ideally, Max won’t suffer a serious illness or accident, but a policy can help defray the costs should something happen. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner. com.

HO, HO, HO! (continued): • Hollywood hasn’t always been the hub of the American motion picture industry. In 1870, it was just a small community founded by H.J. Whitley, who had already started more than 100 towns throughout the western United States. Whitley started Hollywood with a 500acre plat he had purchased from E.C. Hurd. The area was going to be named Figwood, based on the large quantity of fig trees nearby. But Whitley decided on Hollywood, referring to a native plant with bright winter berries that reminded him of holly. Direct D.W. Griffith shot a 17-minute film called In Old California in 1910, the first motion picture made in Hollywood. Ironically, at that time, Hollywood had a ban on movie theaters. Only after being annexed into Los Angeles were theaters allowed. Hollywood’s first studio was the Nestor Motion Picture Company, who released its first movie in October, 1911. • Situated on Mount Lee in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains is the familiar HOLLYWOOD sign. First erected in 1923, it was an advertisement for a new housing development above Hollywood’s Chinatown and originally read Hollywoodland. The sign was intended to remain in place for a year and half, but soon it became a highly-recognized landmark and was designated as permanent. The letters are 45 feet (14 m) tall and the sign has a span of 350 feet (110 m).

Commemorative Plate Q: I recently purchased a plate with an image of a ship with “Remember the Maine” across the top. I paid $15 for it at an Atlanta flea market and think I got quite a bargain. I am enclosing a picture. It looks like new. -- Barbara, Savannah, Georgia A: I looked at the picture you sent me and your statement that it looks like new kept bouncing around in my head. In my opinion, you bought a reproduction. I base this opinion on two things: The piece does, indeed, look like new, and the price you paid was too good to be true. Many commemorative plates are being reproduced by the evil elves in China. For example, in the area where I live the market is being flooded with cobalt Shirley Temple mugs -- all fakes. My advice is do your homework before making a purchase and when a price seems to be too low to be real, alas, it generally is. Q: My uncle recently died in the Napa area of California. He had an incredible vintage wine collection. My sister and I have decided to dispose of the collection, which includes more than 1,000 bottles. Can you help us? -- Stephen, Coral Gables, Florida A: The first idea that occurred to me after reading your question was to consider an auction house.
Heritage Auctions in Dallas has liquidated wine collections in the past and might be a good source to contact. The company generated annual sales last year of $900 million and is always accepting quality consignments in more than 40 categories. Contact is 3500 Maple Dr., Dallas, TX 75219; 877437-4824. Q: I have four swan planters that are marked “Hull.” I bought them at a thrift shop for $150 for the set. They seem to be in excellent shape. I am enclosing pictures. What are your thoughts? -- Maryanne, Tyler, Texas A: The Hull Pottery Company produced many novelty items depicting fowl, but swans probably became the most widely produced design. The swans came in various sizes. I found your swans in “Warman’s Hull Pottery: Identification & Price Guide” by David Doyle and published by Krause Books. According to Doyle, your planters are worth $10-$25 each. 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.

* A married couple in Batavia, New York, had such a turbulent marriage that the wife had a restraining order issued to keep her husband away from her. After the divorce, though, they worked things out and planned a second wedding. At the reception, the second-time groom got into an argument with one of the guests, and the police were called. The argument didn’t end up being the real problem; the officers on the scene arrested the groom on charges of criminal contempt. It seems the original restraining order was still in effect -- it was illegal for him to be near his bride on their wedding day. * Those who study such things say that dead people can get goosebumps. * Arguably, the best-known battle of the U.S. Civil War occurred in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1863. This battle saw the most casualties of any during the war, and it is considered by many historians to be a turning point. Many don’t realize the sheer volume of gunfire that occurred there, though; so many bullets were fired during the three-day battle -and so many went astray -- that trees near the battlefield later died from lead poisoning. * You might be surprised to learn that the game of Chinese checkers isn’t from Asia at all; it was invented in Germany.

Is there a difference between collecting and hoarding? Hoarding is defined as “the persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value.” Hoarders experience anxiety when trying to throw items away, and have suspicion of other people touching their things. They fear running out of an item in the future and believe that something might be useful or valuable in the future. Hoarders have difficulty categorizing or organizing possessions and often feel overwhelmed or embarrassed by them, whereas a collector takes pride in his possessions, usually keeps them organized, and loves displaying and talking about them.

HO, HO, HO! (continued): • There are several words that might describe a hobo – traveler, vagrant, drifter, tramp, bum, vagabond. However, in actuality, there is a difference in these terms. A hobo might be homeless and penniless, but he is a worker, usually a traveling one. A tramp works only when forced to, and a bum does not work at all! The term hobo most likely had its origins in the expression “hoe-boy” meaning “farmhand.” During the Great Depression, hobos used the term “jungle buzzard” to refer to a fellow hobo or tramp who preyed on his own. • Back in the days of Attila the Hun, around 450 A.D., when a man had made the choice of a woman for his mate, he merely abducted her and took her into hiding. The pair remained in hiding until her relatives stopped looking for her, usually about a month, or one schedule of the moon’s phases. During that month, the couple partook of a mead wine made of water and old honey, which had fermented in the sun. Legend had it that if the couple drank the concoction daily during this one-month phase of the moon, they were assured of the birth of sons. This period of time when the bride and groom came together for first time became known as the honeymoon.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: VIRGINIA APGAR New mothers everywhere are familiar with the Apgar test, a way to quickly measure the health of their baby immediately after birth. Check out the story of the brilliant doctor who developed the test. • Born in New Jersey in 1909, Virginia Apgar was considered gifted as a young child. As part of a musical family, Virginia learned to play the violin at a young age. Her insurance executive father was an amateur inventor and astronomer, and fostered an interest in science in his three children. Virginia made her decision to pursue a medical career while in high school. • She entered Massachusetts’ Mount Holyoke College at age 16, where she majored in zoology, minoring in physics and chemistry. Virginia was well-known for her high energy, playing on seven sports teams, reporting for the college newspaper, acting in drama productions, and playing violin in the orchestra, all the while working a part-time job and achieving exceptional grades. It was noted by the year book editor, “…frankly, how does she do it?” • By age 24, Virginia had graduated from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, and completed her residency as a surgeon by 28. Instead of practicing surgery, she turned to anesthesiology and became professor of the subject at Columbia. She also did clinical and research work at the same time at the Sloane Hospital for Women. • In 1953, Virginia invented the Apgar score as a method of evaluating a newborn’s health within minutes after birth. The test developed out of her great concern about the effects of anesthesia on babies.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 VIRGINIA APGAR (continued): • The Apgar test is based on five criteria using a scale from zero to two. Virginia used the acronym APGAR for the scoring device to remind health care workers of each item: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration. The test is first conducted at one minute, and again at five minutes. • Appearance is based on skin color, Pulse on pulse rate of 100 beats per minute, Grimace on whether a baby cries upon stimulation, Activity on flexing of arms and legs, and Respiration on whether the cry is weak and irregular or strong. Each item is scored 0, 1, or 2. A score of 7 is considered healthy. A reduction in the infant mortality rate was quickly reached with the use of the Apgar test. • After having attended more than 17,000 births by the late 1950s, Apgar had witnessed hundreds of cases of birth defects. She was interested in trying to correlate these with the Apgar scores. Leaving Columbia University, she enrolled in Johns Hopkins to obtain a Master of Public Health degree, with her focus in the field of teratology (the study of birth defects). In 1959, she began working at the March of Dimes Foundation, directing its research program for the prevention of birth defects. • Virginia Apgar published 60 scientific articles and many other shorter essays, as well as writing a book Is My Baby All Right? As if her work didn’t keep her busy enough, Apgar took time to play in amateur chamber quartets and even tried her hand at making instruments, completing two violins, a viola, and a cello. She loved gardening, fly-fishing, golfing, and enjoyed collecting stamps. In her 50s, Virginia started taking flying lessons. She passed away in 1974 from liver disease.

Most of us have licked a Christmas seal and attached it to our holiday greetings at some point over the years. This week, Tidbits brings you the history of this little stamp. • In the early 1900s, tuberculosis, or consumption as it was frequently called, was the leading cause of death in the United States, killing about 110,000 every year. This infectious disease, which attacks the lungs, was being spread through coughs and sneezes and any other respiratory fluids found in the air. • The first signs of success with the disease were achieved by isolating patients in sanatoriums. In 1907, a small sanatorium in Delaware was experiencing an extreme financial shortfall and would have to shut down if $300 could not be raised to save it. A doctor at the facility explained the dilemma to his cousin, Emily Bissell, who regularly volunteered there. • Emily, who was an experienced fundraiser, had recently heard about an effort in Denmark that raised money for children with TB. A Danish journalist who had lost six brothers to the disease had written an article about the idea of selling small stamps during the Christmas season. Four million seals were sold in Denmark that first year, 1904. The idea seemed perfect as a fundraiser for the tiny Delaware sanatorium. • Emily sketched a few designs, finally settling on a cross centered in a half-wreath of holly above the words “Merry Christmas.” She borrowed $40 to have 50,000 seals printed and campaigned vigorously for the cause, using the slogan “Stamp Out Tuberculosis!”, even winning the endorsement of President Theodore Roosevelt.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 CHRISTMAS SEALS (continued): • On December 7, 1907, a table was set up in the Wilmington, Delaware post office. The seals were also offered with newspapers. Another printing was necessary when the first one ran out. Selling the seals for a penny each raised over $3,000 during that holiday season. • By the following year, Emily’s Christmas seals had grown to a national program directed by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the American Red Cross. Norway, Sweden, and Iceland quickly followed Denmark’s example as well, and in the years following, the Seals had spread throughout every major country in Europe, followed by Canada, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia. The seals began including the international symbol against TB, the double-barred cross of Lorraine in 1919, a symbol still in use on current seals. Today, there are nearly 100 lung associations around the world that issue Christmas Seals. • Christmas Seals are a type of “Cinderella stamp,” a term applied to “anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration.” A Cinderella stamp cannot “carry the mail.” • Although initially designed for fund-raising for tuberculosis, in the mid-20th century, the mission was expanded to include research into all respiratory diseases, including lung cancer and asthma. Tuberculosis is responsible for more deaths in the past 200 years than any other disease.

By Keith Roach, M. D,
Which Diet Is the Right Diet? DEAR DR. ROACH: I am taking Zetia and niacin for extremely high cholesterol and triglycerides. Exactly what type of diet should I be on to lower my cholesterol and triglycerides? Many of the processed (cheese, ice cream, cookies, etc.) fat-free, cholesterol-free foods are high in sugar. Should I be on the South Beach Diet or a strictly vegetarian diet? How many calories, carbohydrates and fat grams should I consume daily to lose weight? I am a 5-feet-4inch-tall female who weighs 160 pounds. When I was on the Atkins diet for more than 20 years, I was always slim and had no health problems. Thank you. -- J.D. ANSWER: You are asking how to lower cholesterol, but I think what you really want to know is what diet reduces risk of heart disease. The right question is: What diet should you be on that will help you be healthier in the long term? All of the diets you mention have their strengths and weaknesses. Almost everyone agrees that avoiding sugar and processed grains is a key factor in reducing heart disease risk, but, despite decades of research and controversy, there isn’t agreement on the best diet for overall health. I think it’s possible to take some wisdom from all the diets you mention, and to avoid some of their potential pitfalls. Both the Atkins and South Beach plans avoid simple sugars and excess carbohydrates, and I would emphasize that red meat and saturated fats should be kept at reasonable levels. A vegetarian diet emphasizes vegetables and fruits, but some people will gain weight on this diet, especially if they aren’t careful to choose good sources of protein and healthy fat, or choose refined carbohydrate sources like the cookies you mention. I have often recommended the Mediterranean diet, since there is high-quality evidence that it reduces heart disease risk. This diet calls for lots of vegetables and fruits, lean proteins such as fish, healthy fat such as from olive oil and nuts, and whole grains. The medications you are taking, ezetimibe (Zetia) and niacin, do lower cholesterol, but it isn’t certain whether either of them really reduces risk of heart disease. The statin class of drugs is best shown to reduce heart disease risk in people of above-average risk. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a difference of opinion with a friend. One of us contends that taking tablets one at a time with a short period in between allows the full strength to get into your system. The other contends that it doesn’t matter, and swallowing everything together is just as effective. Your comment? -- C.G. ANSWER: With only a few exceptions, I agree with person No. 2. The body is very good at absorbing medications, whether you take them a few seconds, minutes or hours apart. The exceptions are when one medicine blocks the absorption of another; for example, calcium prevents absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. Some antacids block absorption of many medications. Your pharmacist can tell you whether you should take medications spaced widely from one another. 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.

With high-school football seasons coming to an end and the college championships and NFL playoffs mere weeks away, it occurred to me that something was missing from today’s game in general: the compass. For all of you coaches out there, it’s probably been a long time since you’ve heard the immortal words of Vince Lombardi. Maybe some of you never heard or read them at all. Let’s rectify that once and for all. Here’s something you can clip out and put on your bulletin boards and lockerroom walls: Vince Lombardi on winning. You’re welcome. -- “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an allthe-time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all of the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. -- “There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that’s first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again. There is a second-place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win. -- “Every time a football player goes to ply his trade he’s got to play from the ground up -- from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That’s OK. You’ve got to be smart to be No. 1 in any business. But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.

-- “Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization -- an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win -- to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don’t think it is. -- “It is a reality of life that men are competitive, and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That’s why they are there - to compete. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules -- but to win. -- “And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head-to-head combat. -- “I don’t say these things because I believe in the ‘brute’ nature of men or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour -- his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear -- is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle -- victorious.” Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

* On Dec. 18, 1865, following its ratification by the requisite three-quarters of the states earlier in the month, the 13th Amendment is formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution, ensuring that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude ... shall exist within the United States.” * On Dec. 14, 1909, workers place the last of the 3.2 million 10-pound bricks that pave the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana. Since then, most of that brick has been buried under asphalt, but a 1-yard strip remains exposed at the start-finish line. * On Dec. 15, 1936, writer George Orwell delivers the manuscript for his book “The Road to Wigan Pier,” which chronicles the difficult life of the unemployed in northern England. Orwell’s last novel, “Nineteen Eighty-four,” brought him lasting fame with its grim vision of a future where all citizens are watched constantly. * On Dec. 20, 1963, more than two years after the Berlin Wall was constructed by East Germany to prevent its citizens from fleeing its communist regime, nearly 4,000 West Berliners are allowed to cross into East Berlin for one day to visit relatives. * On Dec. 17, 1975, a federal jury in Sacramento, California, sentences Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a follower of incarcerated cult leader Charles Manson, to life in prison for her attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford. * On Dec. 19, 1998, the House of Representatives approves two articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. Clinton, after being acquitted on both articles of impeachment, said he was “sorry.” (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Brain games and puzzles can keep our brain cells firing, but now, for the first time, researchers have discovered that if we go back to college, we’ll increase our cognitive capacity -- the amount of information the brain is capable of retaining at any one moment. The Tasmanian Healthy Brain Project recruited seniors who agreed to take cognitive tests before they enrolled in college, and then assessed them each year for three years. The results were strongly positive: More than 90 percent of those who studied for a year, either full or part time, had a “significant increase in cognitive capacity.” Researchers plan to follow those students to see if continuing to study could delay or reduce dementia. It didn’t seem to matter what classes the participants took, or whether they were in person or online. Age, well-being, social connections and gender didn’t change the results. If we’re lucky enough to have a college nearby and the ability to pay for a class, it’s a matter of calling for a course catalog and an application. If you prefer free or reduced-cost education, go online to find a FAFSA application (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). You’ll learn which grant programs give money to seniors. Another place to start is online at www. aseniorcitizenguideforcollege.com. The site is a guide to colleges that offer reduced or free tuition for seniors. Even if a listing says information about tuition waivers from a certain college couldn’t be found, the contact information is there. So where does that leave us if we don’t have access to a nearby college? Call the ocal library and ask about “lunch and learn” meetings. Or, for a real thrill, search for “open courseware” on the Internet, and you’ll find thousands of free online classes from top universities. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc

A recent poll, commissioned by the Vet Voice Foundation, indicates that veterans don’t want their health care to be privatized. Here are some of the highlights: * A 64 percent majority opposes privatizing Department of Veterans Affairs services, with 54 percent strongly opposed. * Most veterans like their local VA hospital, with 61 percent viewing it as favorable. When it comes to the staff, 65 percent say the doctors and nurses are qualified, with 58 percent saying the VA delivers quality care. * Only 47 percent of those polled have a favorable view of private health-insurance companies. * Candidates who support privatizing health care for veterans would feel an impact at the polls, with 57 percent of veterans voting against them. * The vast majority don’t want VA hospitals run like civilian hospitals. * However, 42 percent believe the VA needs more doctors and nurses. Nearly half (48 percent) say it takes too long to be treated. * Veterans polled don’t want vouchers for civilian health care, especially since those vouchers might not cover all expenses. Civilian health providers aren’t seen as giving veterans the care they deserve. As with all polls, the details matter. It was done with 800 veterans reached by phone, taken from a list. Who generated the list? What were the parameters for selection? How the questions are posed can affect answers. For example, in the question about the proposal to change to private health care, it’s stated twice that VA health care would eventually go away. It also says that the voucher program would pay for only part of health care. It then asks if the veteran would favor or oppose the plan. If you’re ever asked to participate in a poll, listen carefully to how the questions are crafted. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
