TIDBITS® RESEARCHES ADVERTISING SLOGANS by Kathy Wolfe

All companies know the importance of advertising and product recognition. This week, Tidbits investigates some clever slogans that have caught our attention over the years. • Who hasn’t sung along to the “Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat” jingle? The first commercial featuring the clang of a cable car aired in 1959, launching the success of the small Golden Grain Macaroni Company. The product was based on the family recipe of the founders, the Domenico’s. There were not many packaged side dishes available in the late 1950s and Rice-A-Roni was an immediate hit. It became so successful that when Golden Grain sold out to the Quaker Oats Company in 1986, the price tag was $275 million. • The Clairol company was started up in 1931 by two Americans who had been traveling in France and observed hair-coloring preparations there. Sold strictly to salons for 25 years, in 1956, an at-home product was introduced with its slogan “Does she or doesn’t she? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.” Within 6 years, 70% of American women were coloring their hair. The company has had several catchy phrases over the years, including 1965’s “The closer he gets, the better you look” and the 1960s slogan, “Is it true blondes have more fun?” turn the page for more!

ADVERTISING SLOGANS (continued): • “Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is” is one of the most recognizable ad slogans of all time. The effervescent antacid AlkaSeltzer made its debut in 1931 as a remedy for aches, pains, inflammation, fever, heartburn, indigestion, and a number of other maladies. The character “Speedy” (signifying speedy relief) was introduced in 1951 and was used until the mid-1960s. The company had another successful catchphrase in 1971 when a man suffering from severe indigestion said, “Try it, you’ll like it,” followed in 1972 with “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.” AlkaSeltzer’s competition Rolaids countered with “How do you spell relief?” • Credit card companies are well-known for reminding us how much we need them. In 1975, American Express introduced its “Don’t leave home without it” campaign, featuring Oscar-Award-winning actor Karl Malden. Various celebrities asked TV viewers, “Do you know me?” in another American Express ad. In 2004, the company updated its slogan to “My life. My card.” Visa’s catchphrase was, “It’s everywhere you want to be,” initiated in 1985. (Visa spends about $500 million each year on advertising around the world!) MasterCard was not to be left out, and in 1997 originated, “There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s MasterCard.” Capital One followed up with, “What’s in your wallet?” • What’s the best part of waking up? According to Folgers, it’s their coffee in your cup! The company, in business since 1850, featured the Swedish neighbor Mrs. Olson in their ads from 1965 to 1986, who told us that Folgers was “mountain grown, the richest kind of coffee.” Another coffee vendor, Maxwell House, has one of the longest-used slogans, “Good to the Last Drop,” created in 1917.

Overeating Puppy Isn’t So Cute

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I watched a “cute” commercial today where a toddler sneakily pours dog food on the ﬂoor for the family puppy to eat. I think it was really irresponsible of the dog food company to show that without noting the risks to dogs that overeat, particularly puppies. Maybe a better commercial would be the mom rushing the dog to the veterinarian to make sure he doesn’t die of bloat. Why would the company present this as cute? -- Shocked in Syracuse, New York DEAR SHOCKED: You don’t need me to answer why the pet food company presented the commercial in that way. Cute sells, right? Because you’re concerned about the way the situation is presented, with no apparent consequences for the puppy (bloat is a possible risk for dogs that eat a large amount of food in one sitting), you can contact the company either

through its website or in writing. Now, what if that situation happened in real life? Your toddler gets into the dog food and sits there happily feeding the family pet, for who knows how long before you discover them. You’ll need to monitor the dog closely. Bloat, known clinically as GDV (gastric dilatationvolvulus), happens when a dog’s stomach enlarges, twists and puts pressure on surrounding organs. It’s a very serious condition that can cause death in just hours. Overeating is one possible cause of bloat. If your dog’s stomach is distended, it tries to belch or vomit without success, it’s weak, panting and salivating, rush it to the vet. If your pet shows no symptoms but you’re concerned, contact the vet for instructions. Send your questions about pet care to ask@ pawscorner.com.

Welcome to Goose Tips! Jalapeno poppers are an essential party food. They fit right in with pigs in a blanket, mini pizzas and all the other reasons to show up at a party in the first place. Classic poppers are breaded and deep fried but if you’re a member of the Everything’s-Better-Wrapped-in-a BaconClub like me, you’re gonna be in heaven. With each bite, melted cheesy goodness oozes out, complementing the crisp crunch of the bacon shell. The best part is, just one popper provides a well-rounded serving of THREE of your major food groups. What you need for 20 poppers:

10 Jalapenos, halved & seeded 1/4 cup Cream Cheese blended with 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1 lb of Bacon strips, cut equally in half 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce for basting Stuff each pepper with with the cheese mixture, wrap with bacon and here’s the key...FREEZE them. Once frozen, place your poppers on the grill CHEESE SIDE DOWN until the bacon is crisp, baste with BBQ, flip and repeat. Once the bacon is crisp the cheese will have melted perfectly and not quite started to ooze out. Let them cool just a little but serve nice and warm... I bet they’re gone already! When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Wild Game night. Each week we’re serving a different Wild Game. Find the Game Calendar, our Monthly Specials and the whole menu at woundedgoose.com The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t!

ADVERTISING SLOGANS (continued): • Founded in 1922 by a retired farmer turned insurance salesman, State Farm is currently #41 on the Fortune 500 list of largest companies. They process almost 35,000 claims per day. Pop star Barry Manilow composed their “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” jingle in 1971. • Barry Manilow also composed the familiar “I am stuck on Band-aids, cuz Band-Aid’s stuck on me” jingle in the mid-1970s. Earle Dickson, the inventor of the Band-Aid in 1920, came up with the idea when his wife Josephine regularly injured herself while performing housekeeping and cooking tasks. Dickson, who worked for Johnson & Johnson, was looking for an easier way to bandage up her wounds than cotton and wrapping. Sales were just $3,000 that first year, but in 1961, the year of Dickson’s death, sales of BandAids were $30,000,000. •

In 1973, as the feminist movement was gaining momentum, a young 23-year-old copywriter named Ilon Specht came up with the phrase “Because I’m worth it” for the L’Oreal cosmetics company. Still in use today, it’s recognized by 80% of women.

• The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1952. Harlan Sanders had been selling chicken since the Great Depression when he peddled it from a Kentucky roadside restaurant. The “finger lickin’ good” slogan was initiated in 1956, and a second slogan “We fix Sunday dinner seven nights a week” was added in 1957. In 2011, KFC, wanting to focus on its shift to a healthier menu, made a switch to “Nobody does chicken like KFC” and “So good.” KFC is the second largest restaurant chain in the world, with close to 19,000 outlets in 118 countries, with China leading the pack with nearly 4,600 locations.

Franklin Mint Q: I have a collection of the Franklin Mint’s Greatest Banknotes, in proof-quality sterling silver. The set has a certiﬁcate of authenticity signed by Michael C. Boyd, vice president of public relations at the Franklin Mint. I am interested in selling. -- Larry, Weyburn, Sask., Canada A: I have always advised my readers to steer clear of “instant collectibles,” such as the ones issued by the Franklin Mint. They might be lovely to look at and delightful to hold, but the reality is that they are also virtually impossible to sell. Put another way, there are few secondary markets for Franklin Mint products. Q: I have a tea cart that was made in Grand Rapids by the Paalman Furniture Company. It originally was painted black, but has been stripped and reﬁnished. I would like to know more about it. -- Teresa, Ancramdale, New York A: During the first three decades of the past century, Grand Rapids, Michigan, was home to at least a dozen companies that specialized in the manufacture of furniture and accessories. Your tea cart probably was made during the 1920s, and from your photo appears to be crafted of oak. Prices vary from region to region. To find out how much

your tea cart might be worth, I suggest you contact antique- and used-furniture dealers near where you live. A good reference book that can provide you with general information about furniture from this period and the companies that produced pieces such as your tea cart is Furniture of the Depression Era: Furniture & Accessories of the 1920s, 1930s, & 1940s by Robert W. and Harriett Swedberg. Although out of print, there are numerous copies available on online. Q: I have a set of lamps that are marked “Cordey.” Can you tell me anything about them? -- Betty, Marion, Indiana A: The Cordey China Company was established in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1942 by Harry Wilson, Harvey Greenburg and a small group of investors. The company established a reputation for its highly stylized porcelain pieces, mostly figurines. Many of the products produced by the company before 1950 have become quite collectible.

by Samantha Weaver * It was 20th-century Hungarian author and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz who made the following sage observation: “The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic -in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea known to medical science -- is work.”

* The story that’s been adapted to film more than any other is the fairy tale “Cinderella.” * While it’s true that paying to use transportation routes is nothing new, you might be surprised to learn the extent of some early pay-for-travel routes. In England in the early 1800s, there already were 30,000 miles of toll roads -- not to mention 8,000 toll gates. * During World War II, money was smuggled into German POW camps using Monopoly games -the real stuff was stashed in among the fake cash. * Twerking may be a modern phenomenon, but in the 16th century, it was not unusual for a gentleman to be caught twirking (with an “i,” not an “e”) in public. Of course, twirling the hairs of one’s mustache generally didn’t raise an eyebrow in polite society. * If you see a group of ducks in the water, you can call them, collectively, a “paddling” of ducks. In the air, however, the correct collective term is a “team.” * Before he became famous in his eponymous sitcom, Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the TV show “Benson” -- he played the governor’s speechwriter. He didn’t last long, though; he was fired after just three episodes. Thought for the Day: “By the age of 6 the average child will have completed the basic American education. ... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments.” -- Russell Baker (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Frito-Lay challenged our self-control when they released their advertising slogan for Lay’s potato chips of “Betcha can’t eat just one” in 1963. They were the first snack food manufacturer to release television commercials, using actor Bert Lahr of The Wizard of Oz fame as their spokesman. Herman Lay started up the company in 1932 selling potato chips out of the trunk of his car. He merged his venture with the Frito Company in 1961. • The name of Paul Marcarelli is probably not familiar, but it’s almost certain that his face is. Paul was the actor who traveled the country for Verizon Wireless beginning in 2002 asking, “Can you hear me now?” The campaign was a huge success because most people are familiar with having to move to a place with better cell phone reception. The first year Verizon ran the ad, their sales improved by 10%, and numbers grew by another 15% the following year. Today, Verizon’s slogan is “Never settle.”

ADVERTISING SLOGANS (continued): • Where did our favorite candy M&Ms get its name? The little chocolates with a candy shell were introduced by the Mars Company in 1941 as a treat that allowed soldiers to carry chocolate without it melting. The two “M”s stand for Forrest Mars, son of the Mars founder, and Bruce Murrie, who was the son of the Hershey Chocolate president, who owned a 20% share in the product. M&Ms famous “melts in your mouth, not in your hand” slogan was trademarked in 1954. • After decades of using “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking” to describe the durability of their watches, Timex replaced the phrase with one they felt updated their image. The 1950s phrase was updated in 2003 to “Timex. Life is ticking.”

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: INVENTIONS OF THE ‘70s The 1970s were a time of great innovation in many areas. Take a look at a few ground-breaking inventions introduced during that decade. • In 1974, a patent was granted to Dr. Raymond Damadian for an “Apparatus and Method for Detecting Cancer in Tissue,” the world’s first MRI machine. Dr. Damadian completed construction of the first whole-body scanner three years later. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and is a means of looking inside the body without surgery or X-rays. The scanner uses magnetism and radio waves to take internal pictures. Dr. Damadian discovered that different types of tissue emit signals of varying lengths, and that cancerous tissue’s signals last much longer than noncancerous. • The food processor came to North America in 1973, when American inventor Carl Sonthemier improved on the 1971 French machine, the Le Magi-Max. This new appliance hit U.S. shelves using the name Cuisinart. • The 1970s were an exciting time in the electronics world. The floppy disk was invented in 1970, an invention that revolutionized the storage of computer data. In 1973, the first word processor that used floppy disks for storage was introduced by Vydec, a media system capable of holding 80 to 100 pages of text. Early printers included the LA30 dot matrix printer and the daisy-wheel printer, named such because of its resemblance to the flower. Both were introduced in 1970 and were able to print 30 characters per second. IBM debuted its Model 4640 ink-jet printer in 1976, followed up by its 3800 laser printer, able to print 20,000 lines (215 pages) per minute in 1979.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 INVENTIONS OF THE 1970S (continued): • We’ve been “flicking our BIC” since 1973 when BIC introduced its disposable lighter with an adjustable flame. The BIC lighter could provide 3,000 lights before wearing out. Today, BIC produces about 6 million lighters daily worldwide. There have been more than 30 billion lighters sold in 160 countries. Entertainment Weekly has named the “Flick Your BIC” advertising campaign as one of the 50 best campaigns of all time. • In 1974, two Italian doctors, father and son Arpad and Giorgio Fischer, were responsible for the invention of a blunt, hollow surgical instrument called a cannula that enabled the creation of tunnels between major blood vessels of the body. Adding a suction device known as an aspirator, the pair were able to suck out body fat, creating the cosmetic surgery operation known as liposuction. • Are you familiar with the term “timeshifting”? It’s the word used to refer to recording a television program to play back at a more convenient time, a process facilitated by the invention of the VCR in 1971. The first VCR for home use was the Phillips Model 1500, introduced in 1972. It was an expensive item and for many years, most consumers chose to rent rather than purchase this pricey technology. • In 1979, Sony introduced an item that changed the way people listened to music. Sony’s cofounder Masaru Ibuka loved opera music and wanted to listen to it while traveling by air. He approached a company engineer with his idea of a portable audio cassette player. The engineer designed it, adding lightweight headphones and the Walkman was born! By 1995, sales of Walkman units had reached 150 million. Improvements over the years have resulted in 300 different Walkman models produced to date.

• “Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” was the jingle originated in the 1970s by Peter Paul to advertise its chocolate and coconut candy bars Mounds and Almond Joy. The original slogan of Mounds, a confection created in 1920, was “indescribably delicious.” It was the result of a contest that challenged entrants to come up with the best two words to sell a candy. The winner took home $10. Almond Joy (for when you feel like a nut!) came along in 1946. • How long have we been in good hands with Allstate? The company was founded in 1931 as part of Sears, Roebuck, & Company, but the familiar slogan didn’t come along until 1956. A company sales executive came up with the idea based on his comforting words to his wife when a doctor was caring for their child. It’s now ranked as one of the most recognizable slogans in America. • Nothing outlasts the Energizer. It keeps going, and going…” The pink bunny in the sunglasses and sandals beating on his bass drum has proven the effectiveness of this slogan time and time again. Appearing in commercials since 1989, the term “Energizer Bunny” has become part of our vocabulary referring to anything or anyone that continues endlessly. • Plenty of exhausted young mothers have uttered the phrase, “Calgon, take me away” since that catchphrase was introduced in the 1970s. A quiet, relaxing bath in Calgon bath products was the solution to the stress of everyday life. The product takes its name from “calcium gone,” referring to its ability to prevent the formation of unwanted elements in the water.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 MORE SLOGANS (continued): • In 1910, 18-year-old J.C. Hall had two shoeboxes of picture postcards to his name and nothing else. He peddled them on the streets of Kansas City, Missouri, then bought more, and soon had a good little business. His brother joined him and they became the Hall Brothers Company. By 1915, they were offering high-quality valentines and Christmas cards. In 1917, they started printing their own gift wrap. Knowing that goldsmiths used the word “hallmark” to denote a mark of quality, in 1928, the Hall brothers began printing the word Hallmark on the back of every card. The year 1944 brought the advertising phrase that most folks are familiar with – “When you care enough to send the very best.” The NBC network approached the company in 1951 about sponsoring a premiere television production and the Hallmark Hall of Fame program began. Over the years, the productions have garnered 80 Emmy Awards. • One of the longest-running, most familiar ad slogans is Campbell’s “Mmm, mmm, good!”, which has been in use since 1935. Fruit merchant Joseph Campbell and icebox manufacturer Abraham Anderson teamed up in Camden, New Jersey, in 1869 to produce canned vegetables and jellies. The invention of condensed soup in 1897 by the nephew of the company’s general manager cemented Campbell’s place in history. The company began using the image of the round-faced Campbell kids in 1904 on the side of trolley cars.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Sugar Alcohols Aren’t Sugars or Alcohol DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently was diagnosed as being prediabetic and told to watch my sugar intake. So I now read the nutrition facts on packages. However, I am confused about the listed sugars. Sometimes the label includes both “sugar” and “sugar alcohols.” For instance, a package can read “sugars 1 g” and “sugar alcohols 11 g.” Would my sugar intake be 1 g or 12 g? What is the difference, and what should I avoid/limit? -- B.D. ANSWER: First, congratulations on reading labels. There is a lot of good information to be found that can help you decide whether something is a healthy food for you. That being said, sugar alcohols are confusing. Sugar alcohols have nothing to do with the type of alcohol in beer, wine or spirits, and they aren’t sugars either. A sugar alcohol, such as sorbitol or xylitol, is an incompletely absorbed carbohydrate. Since they are incompletely absorbed, you get only some of the calories, and your blood sugar goes up less than if you had had the same amount of sweetness with regular sugar. A rough but reasonable rule of thumb is to count about half the grams of sugar alcohol as sugar, for the purposes of counting sugar grams. So in your example, it would be about 6.5 grams of sugar. You might wonder what happens to the unabsorbed sugar alcohol. It continues through your GI tract and acts as a laxative. Some people are very sensitive and will have diarrhea with just a little sugar alcohol; others tolerate more.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been suffering for many years from miserable episodes of perineal pain related to my benign, enlarged prostate. My urologist’s recommendation of NSAIDs and sitz baths has afforded very limited relief. I would appreciate any suggestions you have to offer. -J.S.K.

WV License 047332

ANSWER: I see a lot of people with benign enlargement of the prostate, and the most common symptoms are inability to empty the bladder easily and having to urinate frequently. Persistent pain would make me concerned that the prostate enlargement is not the cause, or not the only cause, of the pain. I would think carefully about a bladder stone, chronic inflammation of the prostate and interstitial cystitis as a short list. Chronic pelvic pain is a condition much more frequently encountered in women, and there are specialists in evaluating just that complex problem. Men can get chronic pelvic pain too, and I am concerned that it often is assumed to be due to the prostate, when there are many other possibilities. It’s time for you to be re-evaluated. The booklet on the prostate gland discusses treatments for enlargement as well as cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

* On Sept. 10, 1608, English adventurer John Smith is elected council president of Jamestown, Virginia -- the first permanent English settlement in North America. Smith had won popularity in the colony because of his organizational abilities and effectiveness in dealing with local Native American groups. * On Sept. 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname, Uncle Sam. The name is linked to Samuel Wilson, a New York meat packer who supplied barrels of beef to the Army during the War of 1812. Wilson stamped the barrels with “U.S.” for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as “Uncle Sam’s.” * On Sept. 9, 1939, audiences at the Fox Theater in Riverside, California, get a surprise showing of “Gone With the Wind” as a second feature. Producer David O. Selznick sat in the back and observed the audience reaction to his highly anticipated film. * On Sept. 12, 1940, near Montignac, France, a collection of prehistoric cave paintings is discovered by four teenagers. The roughly 16,000-year-old paintings, mostly of animals, are among the finest examples of art from the Upper Paleolithic period. * On Sept. 11, 1965, the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) begins to arrive in South Vietnam, bringing U.S. troop strength to more than 125,000. The unit was the first full U.S. Army division deployed to Vietnam. * On Sept. 8, 1974, in a controversial executive action, President Gerald Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon for crimes committed while in office involving the Watergate scandal. * On Sept. 13, 1990, the drama series “Law & Order” premieres on NBC. It would go on to become one of the longest-running prime-time dramas in TV history -- 20 seasons. The “Law & Order” franchise was created by Dick Wolf, who began his TV career as a writer for “Miami Vice.” (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Leave it on for about three minutes, and rinse with warm water. Follow with your favorite moisturizer. * “The best way to soften butter is to let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. But if you are in a hurry, you can slice it into 1/2inch pats and roll it between sheets of waxed paper. It will take only a minute or so.” -- I.V. in Connecticut * Pet hair is best removed from upholstery with a squeegee. Drag over the upholstery or even your carpet to collect the hair into a ball. Dispose of the hair in the trash. * “Here’s my tip for using a pool noodle in the garage. We have a narrow parking area, so we cut a foam noodle in half lengthwise, then secured it to the wall where the door might hit when we get out of the car. No bumps, no chips. The noodle saves the day!” -- Y.I. in Maryland * “When you need to measure something that is sticky, like honey or peanut butter, try rinsing your measuring cup with oil, then hot water. The oily residue will make the sticky substance slide out, but it won’t be oily, as the hot water rinses away any excess.” -- E.R. in Arkansas * If you are moving, use small pieces of plastic wrap to keep your toiletries from spilling en route.

Outside the window, overlooking the library of Middletown High School South, a daydreaming student in Ileanna Laurarri’s Spanish class could capture a glimpse of the football field and the concession stands that form a neat ring around the perimeter. On most days, she would offer you some sort of rebuke, “mira!” but on this particular day she stopped and looked out the window, too, then told a story. “One morning, the teacher in our class made all of the students line up against the wall and turn our backs. She then told us to pray to God to give us ice cream. So we prayed. Then she said turn around. And there was no ice cream. Some of us started to cry. I was 6 years old.” You know how a good story can quiet a room? The normally rowdy class was silent. “Our teacher, she told us to turn around a second time, facing the wall. She then told us to ask Fidel Castro for ice cream. And we did. And when we turned around, there was an icecream stand waiting for us.” With that, she looked at me, and said, “Now, when I ask you, how to ask me in Spanish ‘where is the library,’ are you going to remember?” So, Yasiel Puig, when everyone was heckling you in the outfield that one afternoon in Kansas City, now you know the full story and reason as to why that one person eating an ice-cream cone in the bleachers, that guy who made you stop, turn around and look up in bewilderment, yelled out “Hey Yasiel! Donde esta la biblioteca?” Cuba, if you haven’t heard by now, is no longer a closed-off nation for America. We just ran up our flag there a couple weeks ago. To most Americans, when we think about Cuba, we think about Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs. The Cuban Missile Crisis. Very good cigars and rum. Airlifts. Gitmo. Little Elian. For Cuban athletes and Cuban-Americans, thoughts of Havana dredge up far different feelings. For some, it meant risking your life and defecting in order to play baseball in America. Think about the stress you would feel facing a Major League hitter or pitcher on your best day. Now think about it with the thought that your family left behind may be in severe trouble because of your decision. There’s a heartbreak there for many Cubans that is hard to understand. Their love of country is great, but they would have loved to participate in the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games. They would have loved to have seen the late, great Teofilo Stevenson fight Muhammad Ali. It almost happened, but Stevenson turned the fight down, saying the millions of dollars offered him was not worth losing the love of the millions of Cubans in Havana. Well, now there will be plenty of things off the field to settle between America, Cuba and Cuban Americans. But finally, at long last, it doesn’t mean people will have to risk their lives in order to play a game, and everybody can have an obscenely overpriced ice-cream cone.

B u l l eti n B o a rd PETE’S PORTABLE SAWMILL

Dog-eared recipes deserve some review now and then, and I’m glad I rediscovered this classic from my mom’s recipe box. It’s a never-fail, fabulous one-step pound cake that is a perfect “first” cake baking experience for kids. Read the recipe together, and let them search for the dry ingredients in the pantry, measuring cups from a kitchen drawer, eggs and sour cream from the refrigerator, and lemons in the fruit bowl. Grate, measure, pour and mix it all together in just one step. Nothing could be easier than dumping it all in a bowl and mixing it up for a delicious cake to serve for your next afternoon snack or a dessert at a family picnic. You can easily change up the flavor by substituting orange zest for lemon, and even reducing the sour cream and replacing it with orange juice. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your family’s signature recipe. Let’s get started:

Thumbprint Jammies The easiest way to get lots of jam into the center of these kid-friendly favorites is to use the back of a melon baller or greased measuring spoon to make the “thumbprint.” 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup butter or margarine (1 1/2 sticks), softened 1 large egg 3 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup favorite seedless jam 1. Heat oven to 350 F. 2. On waxed paper, combine flour, baking powder and salt. 3. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat sugar and butter until creamy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well-blended. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture just until blended. 4. Drop dough by rounded measuring tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 6 minutes. Remove cookie sheet from oven. Working quickly, gently press a small indentation in center of each cookie, making sure not to press all the way through. Fill each indentation with rounded 1/2 teaspoon jam. 5. Return cookies to oven and bake 12 to 14 minutes longer or until edges are browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and jam.

While we have to tolerate certain changes while aging, depression isn’t one of them. Symptoms can be any of the following: sleeping too little or too much, no interest in favorite activities, inability to concentrate, and feeling hopeless, anxious or very tired. Depression might be part of a serious illness such as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease or heart disease, and therefore might not be initially recognized. The key fact to remember is that a person who has depression won’t just snap out of it. Help is needed, and a trip to the doctor is the first step. A physician can prescribe antidepressants, which generally work well. (If you’re already on antidepressants and have side effects, don’t give up. They can fade over time, but do tell your doctor about them.) If the first type doesn’t work, there are others your doctor can prescribe until he finds one that works and at the right dose. A doctor also might suggest psychotherapy, which can help by identifying situations that might have made the depression worse, or even be the cause. If you had depression in your youth, recognize that the impact of depression on seniors is not the same. It can take longer to treat now because seniors are typically given a small dose as a starting point. If you suffer from depression, don’t just rely on treatment to make you better. Take steps yourself by doing things you used to enjoy. Talk to a friend or your family about how you feel. Don’t do too much; do what you can, with activities broken up into small steps.

Billy R. Goble Jr., AUCTIONEER Phone 740-416-4696 www.auctionzip.com/auctioneer/5548 If you’re a veteran with an illness that you believe was caused by the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, you have until Sept. 24, 2016, to establish yourself as a Camp Lejeune Veteran and be eligible to claim out-of-pocket reimbursement of costs going back to Aug. 6, 2012. After a long, drawn-out process, the Department of Veterans Affairs is finally looking into the possibility of establishing some presumptives for Camp Lejeune service. How’s that for being definite? After all, the water was contaminated from the 1950s to the 1980s. And yes, the VA will treat veterans with any of a list of 15 illnesses caused by drinking water at Camp Lejeune laced with fuel and dry cleaning chemicals. That’s the result of the Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, but it doesn’t include disability. Labeling the illnesses as presumptives and service-related will allow disability payments.

Camp Lejeune Claims Deadline As of this writing, the VA benefits page says you must be ill and have “a medical opinion indicating the disease is a result of exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.” The illnesses are: esophageal cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma, renal toxicity, female infertility, scleroderma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, hepatic steatosis, miscarriage and neurobehavioral effects. The dates you (or family members) would have needed to be exposed to the contaminated water are from Aug. 1, 1953 to Dec. 31, 1987. (That date used to be 1957.) To file for health care or to sign up as a Camp Lejeune Veteran, go online to www.ebenefits. va.gov, or call 800Ð827Ð1000. For more information, call 877Ð222ÐVETS (8387) or see www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/camp-lejeune. For family members who were made ill by the water, see www.clfamilymembers.fsc.va.gov.
