The vitamin C content of oranges fluctuates during the growing and harvest seasons. Generally, the longer the fruit stays on the tree the greater the loss of Vitamin C. The level also changes according to how long the orange has been kept in storage, and at what temperature. Orange juice also loses Vitamin C over time depending on the type of container it’s in. Today’s frozen concentrated juice is stored in specially made cartons to keep out oxygen and light, which prevent the Vitamin C from deteriorating.

• You can’t pick an orange when it’s wet because moisture causes the skin to tighten which makes it very fragile. Orange picking has to wait until the dew dries in the morning and until after the sun has come out following rainstorms. • Oranges have a natural wax which helps protect the fruit from dehydration. During processing, the wax is washed off as the fruit is cleaned. Therefore, an artificial (and edible) wax is applied to the skin of the orange before it leaves the processing plant. Too much wax and the orange suffocates. Too little and it shrivels from dehydration.

• An orange will last about a month after being picked. After picking, an orange will not continue to ripen.

The OWN original nighttime drama -- created, written and directed by Tyler Perry -- recently started its third season with a bang. The series -- which stars John Schneider, Angela Robinson, Tika Sumpter, Peter Parros and Renee Lawless -- airs Tuesdays on the Oprah Winfrey Network at 9/8c. I spoke with series star Angela Robinson, who plays the powerful, complex and filthy-rich socialite Veronica Harrington, and I am pleased to report she is nothing like her sharp-tongued character. Angela told me to what she attributes the show’s success: “I think it’s a number Angela Robinson of things. I think it’s extremely diverse: In one show you have different races, you have people of different economic backgrounds, different sexual orientations, and they’re all are on the same level on the show. It’s a show that speaks to so many different issues that are going on today. People really relate to it.” What can we expect in the rest of the season? “I really think this is our best season yet. Every character gets his or her moment, more than any other season. You are going to see different sides to the characters. Sometimes writers like to keep their characters in a box. Mr. Perry doesn’t write that way, and so you may see different sides of the characters. It will be a great season.” ***

I miss Eva Longoria. Will she star in something soon? -- Olivia F. in Connecticut

There are some things we just don’t want to hear: The disease is incurable. The relationship is over. The economy won’t rebound anytime soon. A big one in my business is, “The dog is aggressive”. A firefighter back east called last week with a real head-scratcher. He has a 3-year-old Cane Corso, which is an intelligent and powerful Italian mastiff breed. He discovered the dog in an abandoned warehouse a couple of years ago and decided to give it a home. When he relocated eight months ago, the dog suddenly took to growling. And, no, the story doesn’t end at that. The fireman took his Cane Corso to the dog wash in his new hometown, where a woman oohed and aahed and asked for permission to pet him. Initially the man kept her at arm’s length, explaining it really wasn’t safe. But she persisted and asked him why he had the dog in a public place if it wasn’t safe. Logical question. The story ends with this: The man acquiesced, and the dog bit the woman. If you follow this column regularly, you aren’t surprised. It happens all the time. People let love cloud their sanity: women go back for beating after beating; men live with belittlement and emasculation; dog owners tolerate the snarling, snapping, scoop, disinfect and remove yo biting objects of their We affection. poop weekly for only $9.75 I asked the firefighter, “Is the dog trained?” “Yes, I’m a trainer.” “I thought you were a firefighter.” “Yeah, but I’ve had a couple of dogs, and I trained them, no problem.” These days, it seems everyone’s a critic, everyone’s an economist and everyone’s a dog trainer. But in reality, most of us are amateur experts in almost everything. Most people don’t know how to cure cancer, the economy or canine aggression -much less all three. What’s the difference between an expert and an amateur? Dictionaries will tell you money. I say credentials. Countless people have paid good money to noncredentialed, untrained dog or animal behaviorCASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Researchers at Iowa State University have been using music as therapy for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Patients were first tested on pitch duration, vocal loudness, respiratory pressure and swallow control to set a baseline. Then, once a week for eight weeks, they all gathered together to sing simple songs. The end result? All showed significant improvement. Since Parkinson’s is progressive, being able to maintain a function can be important for continued muscle control. Participants were shown to have positive changes in voice, speaking and The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read breathing, and experienced reduced stress and anxiety, improved communication and well-being, and even better memory as they learned new songs.

Where to Get Medicare Advice

for State Health Insurance Assistance Program counselors. Although it can get a little confusing because they are sometimes known by the name HICAP. That stands for Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program. To find the SHIP or HICAP counselor near you, go to Medicare’s website: www. medicare.gov. At the home page, you’ll find a link labeled “Find someone to talk to.” Open the link for your State, and the SHIP/HICAP counselor is usually the first one listed under “personalized health insurance counseling.” You will find phone numbers and websites for the counselors in your area.

What’s that all about?

Most people don’t know it, but the monthly Medicare Part B premium pays for only about 25 percent of the costs of that program. The rest of the tab is picked up by taxpayers. About 10 years ago, Congress decided that wealthy people should pay a bigger share of the costs. Well, it sounds like you were wealthy -- at least for one year. And the rules say your Medicare premium is based on your income from two years prior. In other words, your 2015 premium based on TUES., FEB.is10 your 2013 income.

Regular readers of my column know that I rarely tread into the murky Medicare waters because I am not an expert on that program. Many people mistakenly assume that Social Security and Medicare are essentially two parts of the same government program. So because I spent 32 years working for the Social Security Administration, they think I should know all about Medicare. In truth, Social Security and Medicare are two entirely separate government programs administered by two entirely separate federal government agencies. Social Security is managed by the Social Security Administration -- my former employer. But Medicare is run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Well, I guess I just did.

This mark is on the back of a small porcelain platter that belonged to my grandmother. She would be in her hundreds now, so it must be old. The plate is oval and decorated with pink roses, green leaves and brown thorny branches. The edge is scalloped and trimmed with gold. I am ver y curious about the origin of my plate and will appreciate any information you might provide.

Enclosed is a photo of a heavy mug that has a bronze finish and a clear glass bottom. It stands over 4 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter. Around the base is the word “Manning,” along with a word I can’t read. There is also the number “1164.” I hope this is enough information to help you identify the histor y of my mug.
