Call Today!!TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOSEPTEMBER BABIESby Kathy WolfeIt’s birthday time for those born in September! Here are a few tidbits about these autumn babies, both past and present. • Ed Sullivan was 62 years old when the Beatles made their fi rst live appearance in America on his TV variety show in 1964. Every Sunday night since 1948, this former boxer had promised “a really big show” to his view-ers, frequently prefacing his introductions with, “And now, right here on our stage…” The Beatles’ performance made that week’s show the most-watched program in TV history to date. Sullivan’s program remained on the air until 1971. • Prince Harry, the younger son of Charles and Diana born in September 1984, isn’t really Harry at all, but rather Henry Charles Albert David. The 27-year-old pilot in training is third in line to the British throne. • “You might be a redneck” if you’re familiar with the work of September baby Jeff Foxwor-thy. This Blue Collar Comedy Team member also hosts the quiz show “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” Foxworthy didn’t start out as a comedian, but rather as a mainframe computer maintenance technician at IBM, a company where his father was an executive. It was his IBM co-workers who convinced him to enter a comedy talent show in 1984. turn the page for more!

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I read a recent column of yours where an owner said her cat tended to scratch and nip at her without warning. You said that the cat might have some socialization prob-lems due to being a shelter pet, or might be experi-encing some stress. Could I add that cats that are perfectly "normal" and loving also will scratch or nip if they are surprised or feel otherwise threat-ened. It's natural. -- Cat Fan in Chicago

DEAR CAT FAN: You're right; many cats will turn and scratch or nip when surprised. Others will bat or scratch at strangers or even family members who reach out to them. Why? Well, like humans, cats have varying levels of "personal space," so to speak. And because they're fiercely independent, many have specific likes and dislikes -- opinions that can vary from family member to family mem-ber.It's important to approach a cat, or any animal, with respect. Never sneak up behind or grab at a

cat, and don't yell or make loud noises. Approach from an angle where it can see you clearly, and speak in a calm, reassuring voice. Hold out your hand for inspection, and let the cat come to you.It's possible to figure out the most important sig-nals just from this move. If it sniffs at your hand, rubs its whiskers against it and backs away, the cat's not interested in being picked up or petted at the moment. If it approaches you after rubbing its whiskers against your hand, you're welcome to pet it. If it allows you to gently pick it up and doesn't struggle, great. If it jumps into your lap, you belong to it (just kidding -- sort of!).

A Little Personal Space, Please

¥ To fix a hole in drywall that requires a healthy helping of joint compound, cut a piece of screen slightly bigger than the hole and tack it to the inside of the drywall. You also can wad up a piece of aluminum foil and shove it in the hole, press-ing it in a bit to create a recess for the compound. The foil will keep the compound at the site of the hole, allowing it to set up instead of fall down.

¥ “I recently did a little work on my car, and after-ward I washed and waxed it. My tools got pretty grimy, so I cleaned them too. Since I had the wax out, I used it on several of them to keep them from rusting in storage.” -- A Reader, via email

¥ Add a fabric-softener sheet to your vacuum bag when you change it. While you clean, you will distribute the good smell throughout your home. You also can use a cotton ball scented with your favorite essential oil or even perfume.

¥ If you have trouble threading needles, try spritz-ing some hairspray on your finger, and twist the end of the thread. It will keep the fibers together and stiffen it enough to be easily threaded.

¥ It's still possible to save a bit of money on car maintenance if you can’t change your own oil. Learn common add-ons that you will be offered at oil-and-lube places. Air filters are surprisingly easy to replace on your own, and so are wind-shield wipers. Very often, the staff of auto-supply chains will lend you tools or even assist you right in the parking lot.

¥ Got bug bites? Try these for some relief from the itching of insect bites: apple-cider vinegar; a paste of baking soda and water, allowed to dry on the bite; a similar paste of meat tenderizer and water; or antiperspirant.

SEPTEMBER BABIES (continued):• Two great football coaches shared the same birthday, September 11, although 11 years apart. Paul “Bear” Bryant, longtime coach of the University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide, led his charges to six national championships during his 25 years at the post. Tom Landry guided his Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories and five NFC titles during his 29 seasons with the team. He holds the NFL record for the most consecutive winning seasons with 20, from 1966 to 1985. • Tommy Lee Jones, of “The Fugitive” and “Men in Black” fame, is an honors graduate of Harvard with a degree in English. While at Harvard, he was the football team’s offensive tackle during their undefeated 1968 season and was named to the first-team All-Ivy League roster. His college roommate also went on to great things. That per-son was Al Gore, later to become vice president under President Bill Clinton. In his free time, Jones is a San Antonio Spurs fan. Of Cherokee ancestry, he also is fluent in Spanish. • Country singer Patsy Cline accomplished much in her short five-and-a-half year career. Born Virginia Patterson Hensley, she was a Grand Ole Opry star at age 26 and the No. 1 female artist at 29. Her recording of “I Fall to Pieces” was Song of the Year for 1962. She initially disliked what has become her signature song, “Crazy,” written by fellow country artist Willie Nelson. Cline was nearly killed in a head-on collision in 1961 and cheated death for just one more year. At age 30, she was killed in a plane crash in a Tennessee forest. “Patsy Cline’s Greatest Hits” was released four years after her death and has sold 10 million copies worldwide. She’s number 46 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”

¥ On Sept. 5, 1958, Boris Pasternak’s romantic novel “Dr. Zhivago” is published in the United States. The book infuriated Soviet officials, but ad-mirers of Pasternak’s work began to smuggle the manuscript out of Russia piece by piece. The book won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.

¥ On Sept. 6, 1847, writer Henry David Thoreau moves in with Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord, Mass., after living for two years in a shack he built himself on Walden Pond. In 1854, his collection of essays, “Walden, or Life in the Woods,” is pub-lished.

¥ On Sept. 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname when a New York newspaper refers to "Uncle Sam." The name is linked to meat packer Samuel Wilson, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States 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. 8, 1974, President Gerald Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed or participated in while in office. The Watergate scandal erupted after it was revealed that Nixon and his aides had engaged in illegal activities. With impeachment proceedings under way, Nixon became the first American president to resign.

¥ On Sept. 9, 1965, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax hurls the eighth perfect game in major-league history, leading the Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow.

¥ On Sept. 10, 1919, almost a year after the end of the First World War, New York City holds a parade to welcome home Gen. John J. Pershing, com-mander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force, and some 25,000 soldiers who had served on the Western Front.

¥ On Sept. 11, 1930, Katherine Anne Porter's first collection of short stories, "Flowering Judas," is published. During her lifetime, she published 25 stories and one novel, "Ship of Fools," which took her more than two decades to complete.


SEPTEMBER BABIES (continued):• In 1965, Lesley Hornby was regularly in the camera’s eye, one of the world’s first famous teenage models. Weighing in at only 91 pounds (41 kg) on a 5-foot, 6-inch (1.68 m) frame, her ultra-thin body earned her the name of “Twiggy.” She achieved her wide-eyed look with three lay-ers of false eyelashes. • More than 11,000 teachers applied to the NASA Teacher in Space project for a chance to become the first civilian educator in space. New Hamp-shire social studies teacher Christa McAuliffe was chosen to be a part of the January 1986 flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger and was scheduled to teach two lessons to her classes from space. Just 73 seconds into the flight, the craft exploded, the result of a failure of rubber O-rings. • Even if you’ve never heard the name Edgar Rice Burroughs, you’ve undoubtedly seen his creation. Beginning in 1912, Burroughs pub-lished 26 novels about jungle hero Tarzan of the Apes. He began writing the stories the previous year after struggling to make ends meet on his salary as a pencil sharpener salesman. Within a few years, he had purchased a large ranch north of Los Angeles and appropriately named it Tarzana. The community that grew up around the ranch goes by that name today. Even though it was Tarzan that brought the fame, Burroughs penned nearly 70 novels throughout his career. • September-born New York Yankee Roger Maris gained fame when he broke Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record in 1961. The Babe had hit 60 homers in 1927, and Maris belted out his 61st in 1961, a new record that endured until 1998. Over the course of his 12 years in the Ma-jors, Maris played for four teams and batted in seven World Series.

SEPTEMBER BABIES (continued):• Frankie Avalon didn’t set out to be a teen idol. He actually got his start playing the trumpet, recording “Trumpet Sorrento” in 1954 at age 15. His 1959 tune “Venus” fi rmly cemented him as a singing star, spending fi ve weeks in the No. 1 spot on the charts. He joined up with Annette Funicello in the 1960s for a series of beach mov-ies, such as “Beach Party” and “Beach Blanket Bingo.” Avalon remains married to a former beauty pageant winner he wed 48 years ago, and the couple has eight children. • Generations of children have benefi ted from the wisdom of Stan Berenstain and his wife Jan, who together penned more than 300 Berenstain Bears books. The series of children’s stories address a variety of diffi culties faced by parents, including teaching children about strangers, tantrums in public places, visiting the dentist and homework hassles. Stan got his start draw-ing cartoons for magazines and progressed into children’s literature after the birth of his son Leo. • We know Alison Sweeney as the lovely host of television’s “The Biggest Loser,” a position she’s held since 2007. But her longest-running role is that of Samantha Brady on the daytime drama “Days of our Lives,” a role she has had since the age of 16, one that has earned her four Soap Opera Digest awards. Her fi rst gig was in a Kodak ad at the age of fi ve. She’s married to a California highway patrol offi cer who once had a guest spot on “Days.” • Mike Post has made his living composing music for several television programs. If you’ve ever watched “The Rockford Files,” “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law,” “Law and Order,” “Magnum P.I.” or “NYPD Blue,” you’ve heard this Septem-ber baby’s work.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTHBy Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past two years, my husband has been trying to deal with constipa-tion. We have tried everything -- lots of fruits and vegetables, prunes and fi ber. He takes a spoonful of mineral oil daily. He is active and plays golf twice a week and walks 2 miles on the other mornings. A lifelong fear of becoming dependent on laxatives prevents him from taking any. We are at a loss about what to do. Any suggestions you make are appreciated. -- J.H.

ANSWER: A lack of fl uids, too little fi ber and inactiv-ity are the major causes of constipation. Laxatives used to be thought of as dangerous remedies, to be used sparingly if at all. People do not develop a "laxative habit," and their colons are not harmed by them. Your husband has done all he can without any results.It is much unhealthier for him to strain to eliminate than it is to take a laxative. He can use whichever one he wants. MiraLAX is a reliable one. Mineral oil is not great idea. If the oil goes down the wrong way and enters the lungs, it can cause big trouble. Once the laxative has restored normal movements, your husband ought to stay on his high-fi ber diet. Fiber doesn't always end constipation, but it does keep one regular.Establishing a morning routine often works. Feed-ing a baby calls for a diaper change shortly thereaf-ter. The brain sends a signal to the infant's colon to empty. The same refl ex works in adults, but we have dulled it deliberately. It can be restored by drinking a caffeinated beverage for breakfast and then taking a walk after eating.Have your husband try this homemade remedy: Mix 2 cups of bran (obtained at a health-food store) with 2 cups of applesauce and 1 cup of prune juice, sweetened or unsweetened. Refrigerate the mix. Your husband can take up to three tablespoons twice a day. He should start with a smaller dose.The pamphlet on constipation and laxatives pro-vides other ways to treat this common problem. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 504W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. ***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can a person have bursitis and arthritis at the same time?My doctor diagnosed me with bursitis. Then I fell and crushed my kneecap. I had to have surgery for it. After a while, the knee started giving me pain. The surgeon X-rayed it, and said I had developed

arthritis.My neighbor says you cannot have bursitis and arthri-tis at the same time. -- S.L.

ANSWER: Your neighbor is wrong. A bursa is a little sac outside of the joint. It lies between a tendon and a bone. It prevents irritation when the tendon rubs against the bone. Bursitis is an infl ammation of a bursa.Arthritis is something that happens within the joint. Your trauma damaged the cartilages within the joint, and they have become frayed and slightly infl amed.There is no law that says you can't have both bursitis and arthritis at the same time.***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Laxatives Have Gotten an Unfair Reputation

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:CHRIS WADDELLChris Waddell’s story is one of a young man who was dealt a tragedy yet chose to turn it into triumph. This week, Tidbits looks into the life of this remarkable athlete who overcame astound-ing diffi culties to reach victory. • In 1988, Chris Waddell was a promising young ski racer as a freshman at Vermont’s Middlebury College. With the goal of going All-American, he planned to spend his Christmas break training on the slopes. On the fi rst day of his vacation, he experienced a devastating crash, one that broke his back and paralyzed him from the waist down. • As Waddell lay recuperating in the hospital, he made up his mind to continue skiing in some shape or form. Within two months of the acci-dent, he was back again at Middlebury, enrolled in Spring Semester classes. Ten months after that, he was back on the hill, learning to mono-ski in a specially-built ski frame. • Waddell remained on the Middlebury ski team as he worked to perfect his abilities, and as a senior at the college, served as captain of the team. Two years after his fi rst attempt at mono-skiing, he was named to the U.S. Disabled Ski Team. He fi rst competed at the Paralympic Win-ter Games in 1992, winning two silver medals. In Lillehammer’s 1994 Paralympics, he collected all four golds. He continued his participation in these events up through 2002, garnering 12 total medals, becoming the most decorated skier in Paralympic history. In addition, he has nine World Champion medals. Along the way, as a way of helping other disabled athletes, he found-ed a camp for up-and-coming mono-skiers.

BICYCLES (continued):• In the 1890s, the first “modern” bicycles

appeared: chain-driven vehicles with simi-larly-sized tires. These were safer than the high-wheel models (and were even called “safety bicycles” as a result), but proved a step backwards in comfort. While the long spokes of high-wheel bikes absorbed bumps and ruts, the smaller wheels on these new bikes, particularly when coupled with the hard-rubber tires of the era, made for jarring, unpleasant rides.

• More than a million bicycles were sold in the United States by the time 1895 rolled around, but one last improvement would propel the bicycle into the must-own category: the pneu-matic tire. Under the guidance of the Pope Manufacturing Company (which made bi-cycles), the Hartford Rubber Works produced America’s first pneumatic tires in 1895. Pro-viding a much softer ride, they soon became a standard feature on all bicycle models.

• Dozens of smaller-scale improvements boosted the speed, comfort, longevity and performance of bicycles during the 20th century. As women began to find them as necessary as men, two varieties of bicycle were made. Men’s bikes were built with an extra stabilizer bar across the top of the bike. Women’s bikes omitted the bar, providing for easier mounting and dismounting of the vehicle when wearing skirts.

• The 1970s saw the development of two bi-cycle extremes. First came bicycles that took you nowhere. Otherwise known as exercise bikes, these training aids first hit the home market at the beginning of the decade. Then, as time went on and the energy crisis sent fuel prices skyrocketing, mopeds appeared. These bicycle/motorcycle hybrids, most popular with city-centered business workers, could either be pedaled like a regular bike or powered using a small, low-powered gasoline engine.

¥ It was revered American comedian Bill Cosby who made the following sage observation: "Hu-man beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home."

¥ Here's a disturbing statistic for parents: If your child is like the average American youth, between the ages of 5 and 15 he or she will see approxi-mately 13,500 people killed on television.

¥ Most languages change dramatically over time. If we in modern America were to try to read "Beowulf" (which was written in Old English), for instance, only those who have spent time study-ing the language would be able to make out more than a word or two here and there. If you're from Iceland, however, this isn't the case; the written language there has remained virtually unchanged for more than 1,000 years. Modern Icelanders have no trouble reading sagas that were written in the 10th century.

¥ Relative to body size, humans -- unsurprisingly -- have larger brains than any other animal. Of non-human animals, it's the bottlenose dolphin that has the largest brain.

¥ When Great Britain's current Queen Elizabeth -- then Princess Elizabeth -- wed Prince Philip, their wedding cake weighed a whopping 500 pounds. ¥ As legend has it, in 1288, when Dusseldorf, Germany, was granted its city charter, children all over the city began turning cartwheels for joy. The cartwheel has been an enduring part of the culture there ever since, and in 1937 the city even inaugurated an annual international cartwheel championship.

¥ Those who study such things claim that when you're playing Monopoly, you're likely to land on Illinois Avenue and the B&O Railroad more than on any other squares.***Thought for the Day: "I always find it more dif-ficult to say the things I mean than the things I don't." -- W. Somerset Maugham

CHRIS WADDELL (continued):• As if all of Waddell’s triumphs in ski racing weren’t sufficient, he branched out into wheel-chair racing and nabbed the World Champion-ship in 1998 and a Paralympic gold medal. His greatest conquest, however, occurred in 2009, when the 42-year-old paraplegic climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, using the power of his own arms. He ascended the 19,340-foot-high (5,895-m) moun-tain in six and half days, wheeling himself up in a specially designed four-wheeled mountain bike, a 50-pound (22.7-kg), 27-geared cycle that can scale foot-high boulders. The final 4,000 feet (1,219 m) were a vertical climb, during which he was secured to a winch and pedaled up a fixed rope. Waddell estimated that it took 528,000 revolutions of the cycle’s wheels to reach the summit. Speaking of his monumental feat, his words were, “My goal was to change the lives of the 600 million people in the world with physi-cal disabilities. That day I felt like I rode on their power.” • Waddell has been honored by Skiing maga-zine as one of “The 25 Greatest Skiers in North America.” He has had modeling assignments for department stores and catalogs and had a role in the daytime drama “Loving.” People maga-zine has included him on their list of “The Fifty Most Beautiful People in the World.”• Waddell has also created a non-profit founda-tion called One Revolution (referring to one rotation of a wheelchair’s wheel), with the goal of bringing “hope and inspiration to the disabled community.” He maintains he wouldn’t change a thing about his life, saying, “I don’t think what happens to you is nearly as significant as what you do with what happens to you.”


1. Oakland won the A.L. West by four games over the Angels in 2006.2. Four -- 1939, 1942, 1947 and 1949 (tied for the lead).3. Warren Sapp, in 1994.4. Dale Ellis in 1989 and Glen Rice in 1995.5. In 2005-06, four rookies did it (Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Marek Svatos and Petr Prucha).6. The Allisons had 94 victories, and the Waltrips had 88.7. Two -- 1971 and 1980.

WACKY WARNINGSIn this day of frequent lawsuits, manufacturers are making sure they have all their bases cov-ered. In their attempt to shield consumers from injury, they list some rather bizarre safety pre-cautions. This week, we bring you some actual warnings found on a variety of products. • Boxes of Christmas lights were distributed with the counsel, “For indoor or outdoor use only.” The question is, what other kind of use is there?• Even though it seems to be the purpose of pepper spray, the warning on one brand of this self-defense item reads, “May irritate eyes.” The same goes for the advisory on a popular night-time sleep aid: “Warning, may cause drowsi-ness.” • Fishermen, try to avoid the temptation to ingest your three-prong hooked fi shing lure, because, after all, it’s “harmful if swallowed.” • You probably won’t be tempted to disobey the warning found on one electronic thermometer: “Do not use orally after using rectally.” Similarly, one well-known brand of toilet brush directs, “Do not use for personal hygiene.” Don’t worry! Most folks won’t even think of it!• Do-it-yourselfers, beware! You are advised not to use a 12-inch compact disk storage rack as a ladder. Likewise, your electric drill might carry the warning found on one manufacturer’s brand, “This product not intended for use as a dental drill.” And if you haven’t read the owner’s manual for your chainsaw, you may have missed the admonition, “Do not attempt to stop the blade with your hand.” • The wrapper of a popular fruit roll-up states, “Remove plastic before eating.” You’d think it would just taste better that way!

WACKY WARNINGS (continued):• In case you’re trying to take care of all your pets at the same time, one brand of dog sham-poo has a label informing users, “The contents of this bottle should not be fed to fi sh.” • We’ve all been in a hurry in the morning, and perhaps that’s what prompted the warning on a popular household iron, “Never iron clothes while they are being worn.” And by all means, follow the precautions on your hair dryer, “Do not use in shower. Never use while sleeping.” • The next time you take your little one out for a ride in the stroller, you might want to read the label on the contraption that states, “Caution, remove baby before folding stroller.” • If you recall the winter days of your childhood, perhaps the words of warning on a snow sled ring true: “Beware, sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions.” • Bicyclists and roller-bladers should be aware of the hazards associated with shin guards —“Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover.” That seems to make sense!• Not that you planned to, but the next time you’re changing the cartridge in your laser printer, “Do not eat toner.” • The warning label on a certain children’s cold medicine is designed to ensure that its 6- to 12-year-old users don’t operate any heavy ma-chinery because this product can cause drowsi-ness. These youngsters should also consult a health professional before use if they’re preg-nant. • Be advised when choosing your child’s super-hero costume for Halloween as, “This cape does not give the wearer the ability to fl y.”
