• Born in 1840, Jules Piccard was a Swiss chemist who made contributions to the food chemistry industry. Jules was the father of twin sons, Auguste and Jean Piccard, and patriarch of a long line of daring and adventurous pioneer innovators, as you will see.

• Donald Piccard was the son of Jean and Jeanette, born in 1926. As a child, he ascended with his parents to the edge of the stratosphere. He pioneered the use of Mylar and plastic in hot air balloons, and was the first to cross the English Channel in a balloon. Donald championed hot air ballooning as a hobby, and was a founding member of the Balloon Federation of America, the national organization for ballooning. He later set up a company to sell hot air balloons to the public.

floor attracted 390 different species of animal that fed off the carcass. • Pteropods are a type of sea snail, of which there are many varieties. One variety feeds by trailing long filaments of sticky mucus, which traps floating debris while also keeping the creature buoyant. The snail reels in the strands of mucus and has a meal. Another type floats at the surface, allowing a blob of mucus to bob around where it is exposed to the air. When a fly lands on the mucus expecting a meal, it gets stuck and quickly becomes the snail's lunch. • One type of pteropod exudes a chemical defense when threatened. This species is sometimes kidnapped by a type of crustacean that carries it around in its pincers, using it as a biological weapon against predators.

If you want to get multiple bids, I would stay with local companies as they will be most familiar with HOA and city guidelines, which are all different. Hopefully they will all know how to install for the harsh Desert weather as well. A company with a local sales office isn’t local – only those that are headquartered here are truly local.

For those who might not recognize the name, Jonathan Groff stars as an FBI agent on the Netflix crime show “Mindhunter.” Before that, he was a regular on the hit high-school musical series “Glee,” and you also might recognize his voice as Kristoff in the animated blockbuster “Frozen” and its upcoming sequel. Groff’s very first onscreen role, however, was playing a teen named Henry on “One Life to Live” for just a few episodes. His character died in a car accident after doing drugs.

After touring for two years, singersongwriter Ed Sheeran is taking a long hiatus, but he’s not quitting. He told the crowd at the last stop on his tour that he’s going to take about an 18-month break. I wouldn’t be surprised though, if he pursued more acting projects. He played himself in the movie “Yesterday” this summer and also filmed a guest spot on the upcoming anthology series “Modern Love,” Ed Sheeran based on The New York Times column. Episodes will be available to stream on Amazon beginning Oct. 18. Other stars will include Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Anne Hathaway (“The Dark Knight Rises”) and John Slattery (“Mad Men”). *** I saw an actor named Jonathan Groff on the “Live with Kelly and Ryan” talk show one morning, and they mentioned how he was once on the soap “One Life to Live.” I watched that soap for decades and don’t remember him.

An enormous supply of wonderful dogs exists in the hundreds of shelters across the country. Beyond that, and often working in tandem, is a growing army of rescue organizations. They, along with shelters, do the work of angels. One of the most influential rescue groups in the nation is Best Friends Animal Society. Their purpose? A better world through kindness to animals. Their outreach? It extends far and wide through a grassroots network of hardworking people and organizations that care about the welfare of animals. Their influence? Leading by example, they’ve come miles in changing the conventional notion that little could be done to reduce the gutwrenching number of dogs and cats killed in shelters year after year. That number when Best Friends got started in the late ‘80s: 17 million. That number today: 5 million. The euthanization of 5 million dogs and cats a year is nothing to cheer. But the steep decline is proof that single-minded purpose and widespread efforts toward education can tame even the most pervasive of epidemics. For rescue groups, the education of pet owners is key. They promote spay and neuter programs. They require an application and home check if you want to adopt one of their animals. This ensures a high probability that the match will stick. But if for whatever reason it doesn’t, they ask only that you return the animal to their care. A distinguishing feature of rescue groups is the foster system. Volunteers foster animals in their homes and, in the process, get to the know the dogs individually and in a presumably saner environment than that of a shelter. Foster parents offer a degree of insight into a dog’s personality and habits that is otherwise hard to come by. Often, they’re able to provide some basic obedience training, making successful adoption all the more likely. In every sense, these groups take the word Casey's Corner: Turn to page 10

CBD Oil Can Interfere With Other Medications

CYP3A4, as are some of the statin drugs usually prescribed to people with heart blockages. The effect of the anticoagulant could be much higher than expected, leading to bleeding risk. Other commonly used heart medications are metabolized by CYP2D6, and the effect on these medications is unpredictable. I can’t recommend CBD products given the medications you are taking, but would suggest you consider alternative treatments. You may have read about deep brain stimulation and ultrasound, two powerful and effective treatments for people whose symptoms have not responded to standard treatments. *** DEAR DR.

While most doctors, and even general practitioners, are trained to focus on a person’s particular illness or disease, geriatricians are trained to look at all aspects that can affect elderly patients – not just the physical symptoms. They also often work with a team of other health care professionals like geriatric-trained nurses, rehabilitation therapists, nutritionists, social workers and psychiatrists to provide care. And, they will coordinate treatments among a patient’s specialists.

Who Needs to See a Geriatrician? DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: What can you tell me about geriatrics doctors? My father, who is 82, takes eight different prescription drugs for different health issues but hasn’t been feeling his normal self lately. I’m wondering if he would benefit by seeing a doctor who specializes in geriatrics in place of his regular primary care physician. Does a geriatric doctor know more than a regular doctor? -- Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned: Because medical practice is not a one-size-fits-all profession, care for an aging person can require different treatment than should be prescribed for a younger person. If your dad is dealing with a variety of health problems and is taking multiple medications, a visit to a geriatrician may be just the antidote to help get him back on track. Here’s a rundown of the different types of health conditions geriatricians treat, along with some tips to help you locate one in his area. Geriatrics Doctors For starters, it’s important to know that geriatricians are family practice or internal medicine physicians that have had additional specialized training to manage the unique and, oftentimes multiple health concerns of older adults. Just as a pediatrician specializes in caring for children, a geriatrician is trained to provide care for seniors, usually over age 75.

Patients who can benefit from seeing a geriatrician are elderly seniors with multiple health and age-related problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, confusion and memory problems, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, hypertension, depression, respiratory problems, osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain, mobility issues, incontinence, vision and hearing impairment, and trouble with balance and falls. Geriatricians are also particularly adept at tackling medication problems. Because many seniors, like your dad, take multiple medications at the same time for various health conditions, and because aging bodies often absorb and metabolize drugs differently than younger adults, unique side effects and drug interactions are not uncommon. A geriatrician will evaluate and monitor you dad’s medications to be sure they are not affecting him in a harmful way. Geriatricians can also help their patients and families determine their long-term care needs. For example, how long they can remain in their own homes safely without assistance, and what type of services may be necessary when they do need some extra help. But not all seniors need to see a geriatrician. Seniors who have fewer health problems are just fine seeing their primary care physician.

Medicine in the Search box. Or, you can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800633-4227. The American Geriatrics Society also has a geriatrician-finder tool on their website at HealthinAging.org. Keep in mind, though, that locating a geriatrician doesn’t guarantee your dad will be accepted as a patient. Many doctors already have a full patient roster and are unable to accept new patients. You will need to call the individual doctor’s office and inquire about this.

Sea Creatures (from page 3)

It was my mother’s, and I have no information about its histor y. It always sat in her china cupboard in the dining room. T h e pot is a family treasure, and I would never part with it but would like to know more about it for insurance purposes. Can you tell me anything about when it was made, the maker and if it is worth anything?

by Anne McCollam

Victorian Side Chair Serves as Family Treasure Q:

I inherited the upholstered chair seen in this photo from my parents years ago. It is in perfect condition and has the original finish. I would like to know who the maker was, its vintage and value.

Cachepot was made in Limoges, France.

You have a hand-painted cachepot that was made by Martial Redon Porcelain Co. The firm began as Gibus & Redon in Limoges, France, in 1850. In 1882, Redon took over the business. In 1890, he died; his son continued to operate the factory until 1896. The company produced white ware, tableware, decorative ware and art objects. Pieces that were double marked were decorated by their design artists. Cachepot is a French word for a planter that has no opening for drainage and is intended to be used indoors. I would never recommend using it as a planter. Your cachepot was made in the late 1800s and would probably be worth $150 to $250. One was offered for sale on the internet at $399, plus shipping. Insure your cachepot for $350 to $400. * * * Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P.

O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column. Due to the volume of inquiries, she cannot answer individual letters.

Balloon back side chair was made in the Victorian era during the 1800s.

You have a factory-made Victorian balloon back side chair. The balloon-shaped back forms an unbroken continuous circle with a medallion in the center. The flared upholstered seat with a serpentine-front form and turned legs are typical of mid-Victorian design. It can be impossible to identify the manufacturer. Many similar chairs were made of walnut or rosewood. These were usually sold as pairs or part of a parlor set. Your chair was made between 1850 and 1870. Its value might be $275 to $375. *** This mark is on the bottom of a porcelain container I have. It stands about 9 inches tall and is 7 inches in diameter. It is decorated with pastel roses, and it has gold handles and no lid. Also, marked on the bottom is a circle with the words: “M. Redon - Limoges.”

• Shells of crustaceans such as krill, shrimp, and crabs are made from chitin. Chitin is valuable in many industries for use in cosmetics, such as the gloss in lipsticks. It’s also an important ingredient in shampoos, plant food, water filtration, and antifungal agents, and also used in medicine to speed blood clotting.

Tuck It Under

When I work with a lot of beginning to intermediate players, the finish position requires extra attention. The body is contorting into an unusual position and needs to be balanced to be effective. Advanced players take the finish position for granted, especially when it comes to the small arch in the lower back.

* On Sept. 25, 1970, ABC premieres “The Partridge Family,” which would become a smash hit. The group’s songs were not actually recorded by the five siblings and their mom in a garage, but were mostly the work professional musicians in Los Angeles. * On Sept. 29, 1982, seven people die in Chicago after ingesting over-the-counter painkiller laced with cyanide. No other contaminated capsules were found in a nationwide recall, but the mass murder led to new tamper-proof medicine containers.

GO FIGURE

Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

SOLUTION

Correct finish position

A good finish should have the left leg straight, the right thigh up close to the left leg, the right foot up on the toe, and the upper body arching back slightly. The trick is that the hips are now “tucked under” the upper body or the stomach is pushed forward. Many beginners, or players who don’t have good core strength, will finish with their hips pushed out behind their upper body. Learn to correct the finish by tucking the hips under or pushing your belt buckle forward PROOF inADVERTISING order to feel the correct position. Good leg will assist in correct hip positioning as 5:00 well. Finalwork Changes DUE:
