• In 1958, Chief Officer Francis Schremp was aboard the freighter S.S. John Lykes off the coast of Bermuda when he was washed overboard by a huge wave in rough seas. Floundering in the churning water and gasping for breath as he saw the ship leaving him, he prayed earnestly that his life would be spared. Moments later he was raised by a huge swell and found himself deposited back on the deck.

• The same thing happened to John Craig of Scotland in 1956. When he found himself back on board he called out to the skipper, who had set out in a lifeboat looking for him.

• In 1908, James Wilkinson was on the U.S.S. Minnesota, which was being followed by the battleship U.S.S. Vermont. In heavy seas during a typhoon, Wilkinson was swept off the ship by a huge wave. Tossed violently about in the ocean, he struggled to keep his head above water and keep from drowning. A huge, windswept wave suddenly hurled him upwards and he felt something solid and smooth below him. Hands were gripping

Investigation Discovery’s true-crime series, which follows the cases of real-life crime author M. William Phillips and criminal profiler John Kelly, returns for its eight-episode second season on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Our investigators revisit unsolved homicides believed to be the work of serial killers. The twist? They have an insider who intimately understands the disturbed mind of a murderer -- because he is one, currently serving multiple life sentences in a maximum-security prison.

Dear Mary: Every year my mom starts a Christmas club account in January and contributes to it each month. She swears by it and says that it makes her holiday shopping much easier because she doesn’t have to charge anything on her credit card. I think it would be wiser for her to put that money in a savings account, let it earn some interest and then use some of it to buy the gifts. Who’s right?

A man as famous for his curiosity as he is for his art, Leonardo da Vinci was the quintessential Renaissance man -- painter, sculptor, mathematician, musician, architect, botanist, geologist, inventor ... dog trainer?

While little evidence exists to support the idea that the man who gave us the Mona Lisa also dallied in dogs, the idea of boundaries as a force for good certainly applies.

In terms of dog training, a “small dwelling” is better known as a crate. And a crate is one of the best tools available to dog owners.

Without fail, as soon as I start telling someone to crate their dog, the smile fades, the voice cracks, the eyes widen and even tear up.

Last week, while working with a woman whose dog routinely knocks the phone off the hook, destroys furniture and shatters breakables while she’s at work, I said the “C” word. Her response?

“But I’d feel bad!”

Crate training is not the parenting equivalent of hiring a babysitter off of Craigslist. Crate training saves lives, protects homes and promotes harmony. Here are some tips to get you started:

 Pay a visit to your local pet supply store and purchase a wire or canvas crate. No plastic. The crate should be big enough for your dog to fully stand up and completely turn around, and you want good visibility. Think panoramic. The idea is to play on your pup’s natural denning instinct and provide a comfortable, pleasing, private retreat.

 Introduce your dog to his crate in the room where family most often gathers. Keep the crate door open, and add a soft cushion and a favorite blanket. Use food, toys and a friendly tone of voice to create a curiosity and sense of security about the crate. Never use the crate as a punishment.

 Begin feeding your dog meals near or in his crate, depending on his comfort level. Some dogs will follow a full food bowl anywhere; others will hesitate due to the possibility of confinement.

Place the bowl according to his signs. If he happily goes halfway into his crate, place the bowl at the halfway point. If he’s all in, place the bowl at the back of the crate. Once he’s comfortable eating inside his crate, begin closing the door.

Reports: Elder Abuse Is Increasing Problem Elder abuse is becoming ever more common.

Numerous reports have documented this rising problem. As a result, in this legislative season, lawmakers in several states are proposing new laws to require reporting and harsher penalties. Although exact numbers are unknown, the American Psychological Association estimates that every year, more than 4 million older people are victims of physical, psychological or other forms of abuse and neglect.

Because of increased awareness and training, crimes against residents in nursing homes are less frequent. In most cases, a family member or hired caregiver is the abuser.

But abuse occurs in every setting and is just as common in affluent as in poor families, in those with high levels of education, by spouses, children and friends, irrespective of age, sex or ethnicity.

Physical violence, while horrifying, reflects only a small fraction of the problem. The patient may be slapped, dragged, pulled and scratched if he fails to follow instructions, such as bathing, dressing or using the toilet.

Most abuse is emotional or psychological. A caregiver may yell, humiliate, insult or threaten. Neglect is a form of abuse. Failure to feed, groom or assist with toileting; allowing the patient to live in an unsanitary environment, or failing to follow treatment plans are all forms of neglect. On occasion, a caregiver may abandon the patient at a hospital, park or even railway station.

Caregivers may take advantage of patients financially by writing checks, stealing Social Security checks, cash or belongings or forging a signature.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease are particularly prone to abuse. In 2009, the journal BMJ published a study that examined the prevalence and forms of abuse among caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s.

A total of 52 percent of caregivers admitted to some form abuse, the most common being screaming or yelling (26 percent), using a harsh tone or swearing (18 percent) or threatening to send the patient to a nursing home (4 percent). Only 1 percent reported physical abuse.

Most caregivers who admitted to emotional abuse indicated that it occurred rarely. Caregivers who did abuse their loved ones were remorseful and guilty but felt provoked.

What causes abuse? Although stress from being a caregiver is a major risk factor for abuse, it is not the most common. Stressed individuals are more likely to abuse if they are depressed, receive no support from

family or who feel that being a caregiver is overwhelming and burdensome.

Abuse is more common in spouses who have significant conflicts during their marriage. Men are more likely to abuse than women, as are those with low selfesteem, alcohol and drug dependency or those who have been abused themselves.

Abuse is more common if relatives are financially dependent on the person they are caring for.

As it can occur in every setting, it is important that close friends, family and physicians be on the lookout for elder abuse. A problem should be suspected if bruises, scratches or fractures occur, if the patient complains that the caregiver has been emotionally abusive or if there are signs of neglect, such as weight loss, poor grooming and failure to take medications.

Because of the breadth of the problem, every caregiver must be aware that they are at risk of being abusive.

The more that elder abuse is understood, the greater the public awareness and the more education, the better. Learn as much as possible about elder abuse and caregiving. If possible, caregivers should not “go it alone.” Insist that children, other siblings, grandchildren or friends help.

Every caregiver should make sure that his own needs are met and always consider respite care if possible. Look into adult day health care that provides the caregiver time alone and an opportunity to get things done.

Ask a relative to take over care for a weekend or consider admission to a nursing home or residential facility for respite care. In many circumstances, this may be a benefit covered by Medicare or insurance.

And last but not least, join a caregiver support group. Rest assured there are many wise individuals who have experienced similar problems.

Taking care of a beloved spouse or parent, although very difficult, can be spiritually rewarding and a truly uplifting experience. This will occur only if you truly understand the task and seek the necessary support and love to make it work.

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9)

 Once your dog is voluntarily going in and out of his crate, begin lengthening the time of confinement. Use a command for your dog to enter his crate -- “kennel,” “crate,” “casa” -- and once he has entered voluntarily, close the door and hang out with him for five or 10 minutes. Then leave the room for a couple of minutes. Then hang out with him for another five minutes. Repeat this process several times a day, gradually increasing the time you stay out of sight.

 Once your dog can handle a half-hour alone in his crate, he’s good to start sleeping in his crate at night, preferably in your bedroom. After that, you can start crating him for short errands.

The primary purpose of the crate is to aid in housebreaking, especially puppies. It’s also a safety measure at home and when traveling and can be a trusted source of security for your dog at any age.

The key is not to rush the process. Small steps. The dog sets the pace. Keep it pleasant at all times. And let the small dwelling do the disciplining.

Salt’s Notoriety Is Well-Deserved

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please provide the pros and cons of using salt in the diet? Why is water retention considered so bad? I am an 81-year-old man with stents in five heart arteries and one in the left carotid arter y. My blood pressure is controlled with one medicine. -- E.W.

ANSWER: Lactase is an enzyme found in the small intestine. It digests lactose, milk sugar.

Infants of all animal species are born with a good supply of the lactase enzyme. They lose their supply of lactase at the time they are weaned from their mother’s milk. Most humans hold onto an adequate supply of lactase into adult life.

Some, however, have so little that they find dairy products impossible to digest. Dairy products bloat these people, give them stomach cramps and can bring on diarrhea. That’s lactase deficiency or lactose intolerance. Both terms denote the same problem. The lactase deficiency is an ethnic trait.

Blacks, Asian-Americans and Native Americans have less lactase in adulthood than do whites. Age causes the lactase supply to dwindle. That’s the reason you have more trouble at age 61 than you did years ago.

Cheeses and yogurt are exceptions to the rule. Many lactase-deficient people tolerate them well.

You can overcome the lactase deficiency problem by avoiding dairy products, by taking the lactase enzyme in pill form before eating dairy products or by using dairy products that have been pretreated with the enzyme. ***

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My son is ver y weight conscious and is tr ying to lose several pounds. He has been taking acai berr y tablets believing they are an effective way to do this.

However, I am wondering if they are really safe.

So many diet pills are no good. -- V.C.

8 Ways to Fight Memory Loss

Memory loss does not have to be inevitable as we age. While 40 percent of seniors will experience some type of memory decline, fortunately it’s something we can fight against and win if we, literally, put our minds to it!

The Mayo Clinic has provided a list of eight things we can do to sharpen our brain: 1. Take care of any chronic conditions you have, and follow your doctor’s advice.

2. Stay mentally active. Read a portion of the newspaper that you usualy ignore. Invest in a puzzle book. Volunteer in the community. (Offer to shelve books at the library, as it can help with both your mental and physical fitness). Learn to play a new musical instrument. Ask the senior center to invest in one of the memory improvement/brain fitness computer programs, and use it often. (Studies have shown that they really do work!) Dial the phone with your opposite hand. Learn new games or activities. Keep your brain from getting lazy!

ANSWER: What makes salt (sodium, sodium chloride) a danger to health is its tendency to raise blood pressure. We need only 500 mg of salt a day, yet we take in more than five times that amount.

Salt’s contribution to the elevation of blood pressure is something that people can alter without resorting to medicines. Salt does contribute to fluid retention. That extra fluid finds its way into the circulation, and blood pressure rises. That’s the condensed version of the salt story. High blood pressure ANSWER: The acai (ah-SAH-ee) berry, the 3.

Genealogy Search Is Interesting Pursuit Q:

As somewhat of a surprise to us, our adult daughter-in-law has recently become interested in pursuing not only her own family’s genealogy, but also ours. She is enthusiastic about this and calls us often for more detailed information, photos, names, dates, marriage records, and so on. We are enjoying it. How can we more helpful?

A:

Jetlag affects every traveler differently. To make trips more comfortable, travelers have their own “magical tips” to survive. Some try to adjust to the time at their destination a week before takeoff.

Some choose to carry their own food and avoid dehydration by drinking only water. Others say that scheduling only night flights is effective.

CBS Travel Editor, Peter Greenberg, has flown over 400,000 miles in his career, during which he claims he has not suffered jetlag. He says a positive attitude works, believing he will not suffer jet lag. He packs his own healthy food, drinks only water, club Ad Proof: soda or Bram’ssparkling water, avoids alcohol and walks around the cabin frequently.

PHOBIAS (continued): • Some phobias relate to what’s up above, such as the sun (heliophobia), the clouds (nephophobia), the moon (selenophobia), and the stars (siderophobia). Some folks are just afraid of looking up – they are called anablephobes.

• Not all phobias seem that abnormal or uncommon. Lots of people might have a fear of death, known as necrophobia. But those with an extreme form might be terrified of being buried alive. A nosocomephobe has a fear of hospitals, a verminophobe is afraid of germs, and a hydrophobe has an irrational fear of water.

• Individuals suffering from extreme agoraphobia rarely leave their homes, due to their fear of public or open spaces and the inescapable situations that may occur there. Only home is safe.

• Some phobias can be a learned behavior that comes from listening to others describe a traumatic event. An individual in one’s life can trigger a phobia, such as peladophobia, the fear of bald people. Those with nosto-phobia, a fear of returning home, may be able to contribute their panic to a specific incident.

• People who are afraid of looking into mirrors have cataptrophobia, while those with cyberphobia have a fear of working with computers. A person with an anxiety about memories is a mnemophobe.

• Don’t confuse levophobia, the fear of objects to a person’s left, with dextrophobia, the fear of objects to the right.

• Although some of us fear the possibility of cancer, an extreme carcinophobe will convince himself he has cancer because he touched someone who has it.
