TIDBITS® HAS BAD DAYS by Janet Spencer
We all have bad days now and then, and nothing helps you feel better after a bad day than hearing about someone whose day has been even worse! POLICE PROBLEMS • Joe Ramirez went to the courthouse in New York City to face a traffic charge. The court business dragged on and before his case was called, he realized the time on his parking meter had run out. He went to feed the meter, but on the way to his car a cop ticketed him for jaywalking. When he got to his car, he found he’d already gotten a ticket. When his case was finally called, Joe was fined $5. He couldn’t pay the fine because he’d already paid the parking ticket, the parking meter, and the jaywalking ticket. So he paid $2 and was told to pay the rest as soon as he could. • In 1977 Skip Swenson of Los Angeles ordered a personalized license plate that read “NONE.” Shortly afterwards he was surprised to receive $953 worth of overdue parking tickets. Seems that when the police write a ticket for cars without plates, they write “none” on the ticket. • A bank robber in Oregon in 1969 handed a note to the teller saying, “This is a holdup and I’ve got a gun. Put the money in a paper bag.” The cashier wrote back, “I haven’t got a paper bag.” The robber fled.

TRACK TROUBLE • The International Track Association’s meet was held in L.A. in 1973. Lee Evans, Vince Matthews, and Larry James announced they were going to try to break the record for the indoor mile run. The race proceeded smoothly until the final lap. Evans was in the lead when he saw the officials had miscounted the laps and had stretched the tape over the finish line when there was still another lap to go. Evans lifted the tape over his head and kept on running. James and Matthews thought the race was finished and quit running. Evans missed setting a new record by one second-- the second it had taken him to lift the tape over his head. • Lane Lohr was competing in the pole vault at a track meet held at the University of Illinois on a windy day in 1985. Just after clearing the bar, a gust of wind blew the pole underneath him. As he fell, the pole rode up his thigh inside his track shorts, ripping them completely off. When he landed in the pit he was wearing only his jock strap. The crowd went wild. An official delivered a towel to Lohr, who acknowledged the applause of the crowd before heading for the locker room and a spare pair of shorts. He placed sixth in the finals and qualified for AllAmerican status. • High jumper Jeff Woodard was competing in a track meet at the University of Alabama in 1981. He got a perfect plant and cleared the bar easily at 7 feet 1 3/4 inches. His jump was so strong that instead of landing in the pit, he flew completely beyond it and came down in the middle of the steeple jump’s three foot deep pool. A BAD TOSS • A drum major in a parade in Ventura, California, threw his twirling baton high into the air. It hit a power cable which short-circuited and melted, throwing out the power for ten blocks, putting a radio station off the air, and starting a grass fire.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My mother has a 3-year-old mixed Shi-tzu/poodle. He is very spoiled and loves to go with her everywhere. The problem is that when she leaves him (it doesn’t matter what house he’s left at), he leaves a large, smelly “present.” I can see this is in defiance, but what can we do? Please reply; I’m desperate. -- C.L, via email DEAR C.L.: Your first move should be to erase the word “defiance” from your vocabulary. Yes, your mother’s dog (let’s call him “Fluffy”) is getting upset when he’s left behind, but he’s not being angry or defiant or petulant. The term here is “separation anxiety,” and many pets suffer from it. Fluffy is very attached to your mother. And your mom keeps the dog close by at all times, bringing him along on most of her errands, as well as to your house, where she occasionally leaves him while she runs out. The length of time she is gone doesn’t matter.
When your mother leaves Fluffy behind, he becomes very anxious. Like many anxious pets, he engages in destructive behavior -- in this case, soiling. Some pets chew up their owners’ shoes or destroy the living room. Yelling at Fluffy, rubbing his nose in his own mess or confining him will not stop the behavior. His anxiety has to be addressed. Fluffy needs independence training, possibly combined with an anti-anxiety drug. The veterinarian is the first step in the process. An obedience trainer can put together a regimen that gradually increases Fluffy’s ability to be left alone. If your mother follows the vet’s (or trainer’s) program faithfully, Fluffy will improve immensely. And your carpet will look much, much better. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner. com.

RACING RUIN
• When David Pearson was racing in the Rebel 500 at the Darlington Raceway, he pulled his race car over for a pit stop. His crew went about the business of changing all four of his tires, but Pearson didn’t notice what they were doing because he kept his eyes riveted on the leader of the race who was also in for a pit stop. Pearson was under the mistaken impression that the crew was replacing the right tires only. They loosened the left tires as they were tightening the right tires. When Pearson gunned his engine and started to pull out, a crew member yelled, “Whoa!” but Pearson thought he said, “GO!” Fifty yards later, both left wheels left the car and went bouncing down the track. • At the Smoky Mountain Raceway in 1968, Buddy Baker’s Dodge blew a tire, spun out of control, and crashed into the wall. Hurt and dazed, Baker needed a quick trip to the hospital. The ambulance, which was actually an old hearse, arrived and Baker was put on a wheeled stretcher and loaded into the back. Unfortunately, the back door didn’t latch and when the ambulance pulled away, the back door flew open and Buddy, still strapped to the stretcher, went rolling out the back and down the racetrack. All the other race cars came around the corner heading right for the rolling gurney. Baker narrowly missed the oncoming autos, with the ambulance attendants chasing after him. Safely back in the vehicle, they headed to the hospital. Baker’s bad luck was still hanging around, though-- and when the ambulance ran a red light, they had to swerve suddenly to avoid an accident with another car. The hearse skidded up onto the sidewalk, plowing into a set of garbage cans. The ambulance finally arrived at the hospital in spite of a flat tire. After being treated for fractured ribs and a concussion, Baker refused the offer of a ride back to the track in the ambulance.

1-800-676-4429 Ruby Glass
Q: I have a 50-piece set of ruby glass. Several years ago, I was offered $75 per glass, but I want to sell the entire set. Any suggestions? -- Marilyn, Sonoma, Calif. A: Ruby glass is a flashed glass, deeply red in color, and was manufactured by numerous companies beginning during the 1890s and continuing through the 1940s. Although it is sometimes confused with red carnival glass, it is made differently and not the same. Values are tricky. It might be a good idea to consult the numerous price guides available and monitor ruby glass prices on eBay. Another suggestion is to contact a good appraiser. Although you will pay a nominal fee, you will get an expert’s opinion of what your collection is worth. Q: We have a collection of 78-rpm and LP recordings, mostly classical. Could you provide me with the names of buyers? -- Janice, via e-mail A: I get questions about older recordings at least a dozen times a month, and my answer is always the same: Unless you have real rarities, there is little market for older recordings. I contacted used record dealers in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Dallas and New York, and I was told that it was difficult, if not impossible, to sell classical recordings in the
discount within 40 mile radius from the Henderson Sales Center
secondary marketplace. You might consider donating your collection to a charity. *** Q: I have a series of 12 postcards that were printed to promote the 1939 New York World’s Fair. I have been offered $100, but I do not feel that is enough. -- Josie, Ormond Beach, Florida A: According to three collectors I consulted, postcards from the 1939 World’s Fair are fairly common. Your postcards are probably worth between $2.50 and $5 each. If you have been offered $100 for the set, my advice is to take the money and run. *** Q: I have six vintage irons, all pre-1900. Whom can I contact about them? -- Betty, Shreveport, Louisiana A: David Irons (yes, that’s his real name) is an expert and can help you determine the value of your irons. His contact information is dave@ ironsantiques.com; 223 Covered Bridge Road, Northhampton, PA 18067; 610-262-9335. 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.

by Samantha Weaver * It was award-winning Canadian novelist, poet, essayist and literary critic Margaret Atwood who made the following sage observation: “Your romantic tragedy when you were 19 becomes a funny anecdote by the time you’re 45. And then, 30 years later, you can’t remember their name.”
* In 1819, some Native peoples in the United States got quite a surprise. Fearing trouble from tribes, a group of western river explorers traveled in a steamboat that had been modified to resemble a fire-breathing serpent. * After the disaster of the Exxon Valdez, the oil tanker’s former captain, Joseph Hazelwood -who evidently had been so drunk that he was passed out in his bunk when the devastating collision occurred -- was hired by the New York Maritime College. His job? Teaching students how to stand watch. * At one time in New York City it was against the law to play pinball. * Tombstones weren’t always used to record information about the deceased’s life; they were originally just large, unmarked slabs of stone placed atop a fresh grave -- a barrier to ensure that no undead creature or ghastly spirit could escape to trouble the living. * The woman who was declared the female winner of the 1980 Boston Marathon had the title stripped from her after officials noticed her absence from any of the photographs or video footage from the middle of the event. It seems she veered off course, killed a little time around town, then rode the subway a spot less than a mile from the finish line, rejoining the race at the very end. *** Thought for the Day: “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.” -- Theodore Roosevelt (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Keith McGuigan of Canada parked his car in front of an auto wrecking business in 1981 while he went out back to look for a door latch that would fit his car. When he returned after finding the perfect latch, he found that his car was now a subcompact. He had parked it in a row of junkers waiting to be crushed. • Richard Horan of Westwood, Massachusetts, went snowmobiling in New Hampshire in 1983. He parked his car and snowmobile trailer on a back road and left for a day of fun. He returned in the evening to find his rig had been run over by a train. Unbeknownst to him, he’d parked smack in the middle of the Maine Central Railroad tracks. The rails were hidden under snow. When he returned later with a tow truck, he found a ticket for improper parking on the windshield of the wreck. • In 1981 Peter Stankiewicz of Rockville, Maryland, slammed on the brakes, jumped out of his car, and dove over a bridge into the Potomac River to rescue a man whose truck had crashed through the bridge railing and plunged 60 feet (18 m) into the water. Stankiewicz succeeded in rescuing the driver and hauling him to shore. Only then did he discover that his car had been towed and impounded because it was blocking traffic. • A car got stuck in the mud of San Diego Bay. Tow truck operator Larry Cavner was called to the scene, but his tow truck also got stuck. A backup tow truck likewise got stuck. Then he hired an amphibious vehicle, which promptly got stuck. Next he called for a bulldozer, which rescued all four vehicles. The tab for Mr. Cavner was $16,000. The original motorist paid nothing. • Alan Lewis was a bus driver in Wales in 1982 when he drove his double-decker bus under a single-decker bridge. Half of the upper deck was completely sheared off. “I usually drive single-deckers. I just forgot I was in a doubledecker,” he said.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT • Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the U.S., was paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a bout with polio he suffered in 1921 when he was nearly 40 years old. During his entire 12 year presidency, he could not walk a step without braces or crutches. Yet, he travelled more than any previous president, wrestled with his sons, and swam. He allowed his birthday in January to be used by the March of Dimes to kick off their fund-raising efforts to raise money for research to prevent polio and other childhood diseases. • Franklin Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt were distant cousins who knew each other from childhood. When they got married, Eleanor’s uncle, President Theodore Roosevelt, gave away the bride. • Roosevelt was the first president to appoint a woman to the Cabinet, choosing Frances Perkins for Secretary of Labor. His wife Eleanor applauded his choice, but offered sympathy, saying she knew it must have been difficult for him when the labor leaders pressured him to choose one of their own men. He replied, “I’d rather have trouble with them for an hour than trouble with you for the rest of my life!” • Roosevelt did a lot of hand-shaking when he was president, and eventually realized that strangers he met at official functions rarely paid attention to the pleasantries exchanged. At a White House party, he tested the theory. As he shook hands with the guests, he remarked that he had murdered his grandmother that morning. As he suspected, no one noticed except for a banker who replied, “Well, she certainly had it coming!” • When Roosevelt came down with a bad head cold, a Washington newspaper accidentally printed a headline that said, “President Kept to Rooms by Coed.” Roosevelt was so amused he ordered a bunch of extra copies to pass out to his friends.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, cont’d When King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England visited President Roosevelt in 1939, he served them hot dogs. H.L. Mencken was an editor, writer, and critic. In 1934, both Mencken and Roosevelt were scheduled to give speeches to the Gridiron Club, a very prestigious journalistic organization. Mencken went first, presenting a negative diatribe against Roosevelt’s New Deal policies. Then Roosevelt rose for his speech, referred to his ‘old friend’ Mencken, and launched into a speech that blasted the American press and stunned his audience. He said editors were stupid; reporters were arrogant; and newsmen were ignorant. The crowd grew cold, until it dawned on them that Roosevelt was quoting from an article Mencken had written himself. Mencken’s face grew red as the audience viewed him with amusement. When the president finished, he stopped to shake Mencken’s hand. In 1939 when King George VI visited the U.S., FDR offered him a cocktail at the Whitehouse while the president’s mother looked on disapprovingly. Roosevelt whispered, “My mother thinks you should have a cup of tea. She doesn’t approve of cocktails.” The King took the drink and replied, “Neither does my mother!” When President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill were scheduled to meet in January 1943, they knew the Germans were desperate to find out where the meeting would take place. News was leaked that the meeting would be at the place identified in code as Casablanca. The Germans figured that since “Casablanca” was Spanish for “white house,” the meeting would take place at the White House in Washington, D.C. They sent all their available spies to monitor the White House while Roosevelt and Churchill had an uneventful meeting in Casablanca, Morocco.

By Keith Roach, M. D,
Rare Nerve Problem Causes Chronic Cough DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had a chronic cough for over 30 years. As you can imagine, I have seen numerous specialists through the years, and none of the prescribed treatments has worked. A friend suggested I might have laryngeal neuropathy. My doctor didn’t know anything about it. What is the solution for this condition? -- A.B. ANSWER: I can’t blame your doctor for not knowing anything about it. I’ve never recognized a case of it, though I wonder now, having researched it, whether it might be more common than we think. The word “neuropathy” just means “a nerve problem,” and in this case, it’s one of the nerves in the throat, the superior laryngeal nerve or recurrent laryngeal nerve. It’s a sensory neuropathy, meaning that the nerve is sending the brain incorrect information, which the brain misinterprets as a need to cough or clear the throat. Most people diagnosed with this condition have sudden onset of cough, often after surgery or viral illness. The condition is diagnosed by an expert ENT doctor via a nerve conduction test or a video test of the larynx. In the largest paper on this syndrome, about twothirds of study participants were relieved by gabapentin (Neurontin), a medication used for many types of neuropathy. Some physicians choose to try this medication without doing the testing. This approach sometimes makes sense, especially when diagnostic testing is difficult or expensive. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 47-year-old male in generally good health. In 1999, I was involved in a nasty car accident, ending up in a trauma center. I needed abdominal surgery to repair a ruptured small intestine. Today, 15 years after the fact, is it possible to have issues with the scar tissue from that surgery? I have some of the symptoms of scar tissue problems, but a doc has told me I have diverticulitis. Can you help me? -- M.F. ANSWER: Well, I can’t tell you what you have, but I certainly can confirm that scar tissue, called adhesions, can cause problems even years after the original trauma that caused them. Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can envelop the intestine, causing an obstruction. Most of the time the obstruction is partial, and with time and bowel rest, the problem resolves itself. However, sometimes it doesn’t, or the obstruction is complete, and in those cases it will require another trip to the operating room. Diverticula are small outpouchings in the intestinal wall, most commonly in the sigmoid colon. The condition is called diverticulosis and is very common, with about 20 percent of people at age 40 and 60 percent of people age 60 having them. When they get inflamed, that is called diverticulitis, and symptoms include abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting, or bowel changes. A CT scan usually can diagnose both conditions. It’s possible to have both problems at the same time, which makes determining the cause of current symptoms difficult. Still, the CT scan would be the next step if you are having symptoms. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

M & S CONSTRUCTION I Don’t Care About Coach K So, just after the Oregon Ducks did what was right in beating the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA tournament, legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski summoned the dark side of his personality and yelled at another team’s player. I’m not quite sure what the rule is when it comes to something like this -- everyone knows you’re supposed to talk only to your own team. I mean, you are supposed to hide stuff from the other team. But this was after the game, so it’s not like you could call a technical on the guy. And while we all know it’s bad form to denigrate another team’s players, let’s not forget the first thing: They’re schoolkids. They’re there to learn. They can handle a little criticism. Coach K told the other team’s kid that he was too good a player to take a last minute three-point shot to run up the score. The kid replied, “my bad,” adding that he respected Coach K “so much.” Does that sound like an epic blow-up? Doesn’t it actually sound nice in a way? It’s not like they were insulting each other’s wives and girlfriends. All this really said to me was that Coach K will go on to become the retired guy who really likes to take care of his lawn and is not afraid to tell this to groundskeepers and pesky pizza delivery drivers who insist on walking through the flowerbed. Besides, he missed the rest of the point: Oregon’s Dillon Brooks took the shot because the Ducks had too much respect for Duke’s well-coached squad. The Ducks were not leaving anything to chance. But it’s not like the NBA is any bastion of civility. Does anyone really care who Lebron James is unfollowing on Twitter? If Stephen Curry tracks the trajectory of every shot he makes, instead of simply turning and running back on defense? He’s busy. He had things to do. He wasn’t showing anybody up. Besides, they too have problems with little whippersnappers running willy-nilly around the floor of the Garden, demanding hugs from Carmelo Anthony. And just because that happened, it doesn’t mean we have to watch Monica Seles get stabbed again, Nancy Kerrigan get bashed again or the guy in the fan suit crashing into the ring during the Holyfield-Bowe title fight. Actually, I wouldn’t mind if they showed that helicopter crash into the ring again. But that doesn’t mean we need a grim backstory rehashing the fan man’s life. The story can end with the paraglide into the top rope ... maybe a few seconds of the subsequent walloping he took at the hands of ringside security, but that’s it ... end it there. I think we should stop with the soap-opera stuff. I think we should let the actual games be what we talk about. I further think that I now stand guilty for contributing to the very thing I’ve been complaining about, but just like the “renew lease?” prompt on the iPad that nobody understands but accepts anyway, it was something that needed to be said.

Fun Places to Read
The wonderful thing about storybooks is that they can be part of our kids’ lives just about anywhere we go. Think of all the places where you’ve read a favorite book to a child. Maybe it’s the public library, where colorful soft cushions invite kids to relax and hear a tale. There’s the joy of reading shoulder to shoulder with a child above the clouds on a plane, or on a carved-out log under a colorful oak at a park. And at bedtime, what parent doesn’t enjoy snuggling on a puffy down quilt with a story in hand to wind down a busy day? Places and people are a magical part of engaging with books, and that’s what the creators of the “Enchanted Storybook Forest” at Brookgreen Gardens in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina must have had in mind when they transformed the wooded family area into a collection of storybook playhouses based on classical stories or rhymes -- Snow White and the Seven Dwarf’s Cottage, Rapunzel’s Tower, Dr. Seuss’ One Fish, Two Fish house and The Little Engine That Could. Accompanying books are available for adults to read when kids gather around a house after exploration and play. Inspired by the idea of storybook houses, discover fun ways you can provide creative reading experiences with kids on your own turf. It’s worth the effort. No matter where you read, remember that you are building your young child’s vocabulary, showing love in a tangible way and developing imagination with every page. Here are some ideas: STORYBOOK NOOKS Let your child pile pillows in a corner with space to sit inside and read about faraway and exotic lands. Or, toss a sheet over a card table and crawl inside with a flashlight. Pretend it’s a cave, and read a story about bats. STORYBOOK PARTY Use a storybook for the theme of your child’s next birthday party. Get your child involved in making invitations, setting up games and decorating an area in your home or outdoors where all will gather when you read the book to partygoers. From easy to complex, Pinterest.com is a great source for crafty party ideas and recipes. Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Do You Owe Taxes on Social Security? One of the perks of retirement for many seniors is not having to pay taxes any longer ... except when we do. And sometimes when we discover that we have to pay taxes after all, it’s a tough situation. According to a Social Security assistant deputy commissioner in a recent newsletter, one-third of seniors receiving benefits have to pay taxes because of disability and survivor benefits, as well as income that is in addition to Social Security. You’ll need your benefit statement (Form SSA-1099), which you likely received in January, to calculate whether you need to pay taxes. This document is similar to a regular Form 1099 in that it’s used to send information about your income to the Internal Revenue Service. The amount listed is what you received the previous year. Specifically, if your benefits and any additional income exceed $25,000 (or $32,000 for a married couple filing jointly), you’ll have to pay tax. Depending on your income, you might be taxed on up to 50 percent of your benefits. You’ll never pay taxes on more than 85 percent of your Social Security benefits. If you didn’t get your benefits statement in the mail or have misplaced it, there are two ways to find out the amount of your benefits. You can go to your My Social Security account (if you don’t have one, you can open one online) and select “Replacement Documents” to get a new form, or you can call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 and ask that one be sent to you. Even if you don’t have to pay federal taxes on your Social Security benefits, beware of state taxes. There are more than a dozen states that may tax that income. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

VETERANS POST The acting principal deputy undersecretary for benefits at the Department of Veterans Affairs has been suspended for 15 days for letting two of his underlings work the system. The two had forced others to move and transfer to different jobs and then grabbed the newly vacated posts for themselves. For this he only gets a 15-day wrist slap?! Adding to the debacle was that the VA’s Office of the Inspector General had unearthed over 20 hefty relocation-scam cases wherein senior executives were relocated to new positions and given fat raises during a time when others were blocked from salary increases. The new deputy replaced the one who’d had to retire after all the allegations came out, so he should have known exactly what was going on and stopped it. The official bio for the new acting deputy says that he’s in charge of 20,000 employees across the 56 regional offices and is responsible for $90 billion in benefits to veterans and their dependents. These involve the whole list of benefits, including compensation, home loan guaranty, vocational rehab, education ... all of it. And what of those two regional directors who abused their authority and pushed others out of their jobs? They were demoted ... not fired, not sent to jail, just demoted. And now they’ve apparently been reinstated, although with a 10 percent cut in pay. The Merit Systems Protection Board gave them their jobs back because their bosses at the time had allowed all the mischief. Nowhere is there any talk of their having to pay back the $400,000 in moving expenses they received, even though one of them only moved 140 miles and netted $300,000 in travel expenses, which included reimbursement for $76 for alcoholic beverages.
