OFF THE WALL!by Patricia L. Cook

There have been important walls throughout his-tory. Some for protection, some to keep people in or out, many as historical monuments and some just to keep tomatoes warm! • ThewallsofJerichohadbeenbuiltandrebuilt

many times when Joshua and the Israelitesarrived.According to Joshua 6 in the Bible,the Israelites marched around the city seventimes, the priests blew their trumpets, the people shouted and the walls fell. Three major archaeological expeditions have uncovered evidence supporting the event.

• Quebec City is the capital of the provinceof Quebec, Canada and has the only historiccity walls in the Americas north of Mexico. Construction of these walls began in 1694and, following capture by the British via the“Battle of the Plains of Abraham” in 1759,they were fortified. If you visit and want tostay in the historic area, ask for a hotel “within thewalls.”

• WallStreetinNewYorkCityreallydidbeginas a wall! In the 1600s, Dutch settlers builta defensive wall to protect themselves from a possible British attack. The wall was laterremoved and a street was installed and named Wall,whichisfamousallovertheworldforitsfinancialmarkets.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

Winterizing Programs Save on Heating Costs

Winter weatherizing programs offer a low-cost or free way to make fixes to your home that can add up to large savings on heating fuel. Here are some ways to find help:• Call your local social services for referrals to programs. Even if you don’t get any services from them, they’ll know how to contact county or state programs or can refer you to classes you can take. Contact your utility or fuel company. Often it will do free “leak checks” to help you identify problems in your home.• If the area where you live is even slightly rural, consider calling Rural Development, a U.S. Department of Agriculture program. If your weatherizing goals are serious enough to fall under the category of actual repairs, you might qualify for a low-interest loan or grant. To contact Rural Development and get the number for your state branch, call 1-800-670-6553.• The Department of Energy has a weatherizing help program that’s run through individual states. Go to www.energy.gov and click on General Information, then Weatherization Assistance Program. In the left column you’ll see a link to State Contacts. If you qualify as low income, you’ll receive a whole-house energy efficiency audit as a first step, as well as a safety check.Whether you sign up for help through a program or do the work yourself, the mains goals are to keep cold air out. At the very minimum: Use a caulking gun to seal around windows. Check your hardware store for shrinkable clear plastic sheets that go on the inside of windows. Those sheets can do more than you might think to keep cold air from coming through the glass. At the height of winter there could be a 20-degree difference in temperature on the window side of the plastic -- cold air that isn’t making it into the room.With cooler weather, especially at night, you’ll be able to tell if you have air leaks at exterior doors. Just take off your shoes and check for cold air down at floor level. Invest in weather stripping around the doors if you feel a draft. Also check wall electrical plugs to see if cold air is blowing in. Invest in plug inserts, or buy the gasket kits that block the whole wall plug.

Take Extra Care OnThe Water

By Tresa EricksonWith all of the guns, bows, arrows, knives and other equipment involved, there is no doubt that hunting can be risky. Add to the mix boats, and you can see just how dangerous hunting can be.

When hunting in a boat, you must be careful. You should create an itinerary stating where you plan to go and when you will return and leave it with someone at home. You should bring a boat that is in good condition and

large enough for you, your passengers and your gear. You should carry the right safety equipment, including a personal flotation device for each person onboard, a throwable personal flotation device and visual distress signals.

Once you arrive at your destination, you should inspect your boat thoroughly and make any necessary repairs. You should also check the weather. If bad weather is expect-ed, don’t go out. Stay at your hotel or head for home. If good weather is expected, pack the boat, being careful to stash the gear low and distribute the weight evenly.

You should treat firearms the same as you would when transporting them in your car. Unload and case them. If hunting with an-other person, place one unloaded firearm in the bow of the boat with the muzzle pointing forward. Place the other in the stern with the muzzle pointing rearward.

Once you are on the water, you should hunt back to back if with another person. This will keep the zone of fire in front of each of you and help stabilize the boat. Be careful about swinging into the other hunter’s line of fire. If you both shoot from the same side of the

boat, you could throw off the balance and tip over the boat.

Hunting in a boat offers many benefits, in-cluding access to areas you may not have had otherwise. You do, however, need to take extra caution when on the water. Don’t take things for granted and do your best to stay alert. Just one second of carelessness could cost you big time.

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

Whooping Cough Not Just for Kids

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a construc-tion worker, age 53, and have been healthy all my life. I caught what I though was an ordinary cough. It stayed and stayed, and it really disturbed my sleep. I would wake up many times through the night, coughing my lungs out. Finally I saw a doctor, who had me get an X-ray, which was normal. He gave me cough medicine that didn’t work. I saw another doctor. This doctor took blood and swabbed my throat. I had whooping cough. Isn’t this a kid’s illness? -- H.C.

ANSWER: In most everyone’s mind, whoop-ing cough is a childhood disease, but it strikes adults too. It seems that these days more and more adults are coming down with it.Childhood whooping cough is a three-stage illness. The first stage, which lasts about a week, features symptoms similar to an ordi-nary cold -- runny nose and a slight cough. The second stage is heralded by outbursts of violent coughing. At the end of a cough, chil-dren draw in air and make a whooping sound. This phase lasts from one to six weeks. The third stage is the convalescent period, where the cough gradually abates and eventually resolves in two to three weeks.Adult whooping cough doesn’t usually go through these stages, and adults rarely make the whooping sound so characteristic of this condition in children. They have a cough, like yours, that just won’t go away. Everyone with a long-lasting cough should consider the possibility of whooping cough.Your second doctor did the test that estab-lishes the diagnosis. He took a swab of the throat (or the nose) and sent it to a lab, where the whooping cough germ was identified.If caught in its earlier stages, antibiotics can shorten the course of the illness.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have used alumi-num waterless cookware since 1958. When I simmer tomato sauces in it, I notice that the pot is shiny afterward. Yikes! Does that mean aluminum has gone into the sauces and into us? Is that harmful? Does it lead to Alzheim-er’s disease? -- L.P.

ANSWER: Traces of aluminum have been found in the brains of some Alzheimer’s pa-tients. To date, there has been no conclusive link between aluminum and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, aluminum cookware releases very little of this metal into the food cooked in it. Most experts do not advise people to stop using such cookware.Alzheimer’s disease is a tragedy for the pa-tient and the patient’s family. The booklet on it describes what it is and how it’s treated. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 903W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money or-der (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: What causes skin tags? They hang from my neck and under my arms. -- D.H. ANSWER: Their cause isn’t known. Your doctor can clip them off without any fuss. By age 69, 60 percent of us have one or more of them.***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorpo-rate 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.

Tidbits of Glenrock, Douglas & Wheatland Page � September �4 - September 30, �009 September �4 - September 30, �009

By Samantha Weaver

• It was British novelist Terry Pratchett who made the following extremely sage observation: “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH,’ the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”

• You probably don’t think much about the fees charged at ATMs, but maybe you should start. That $1 here, $2.50 there really adds up -- to more than $4 billion every year in the U.S. alone.

• Do you suffer from prosopagnosia? Unless you’ve suffered some kind of injury to your brain, probably not. Also known as face blindness, prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize familiar faces.

• The Goliath frog of West Africa can reach up to a foot in length and weigh more than 7 pounds.

• Wimbledon, played in the United Kingdom and one of the four Grand Slam events, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. Every year at the event about 42,000 balls are used.

• If you’re a fan of the tiny, rubbery candy known as the Gummi Bear, here’s some good news for you: The world’s largest Gummi Bear is now on the market, available for about $30. The equivalent of 1,400 regular-size bears, the giant candy weighs 5 pounds.

• The Campbell’s Soup paintings by Andy Warhol have become iconic, with collectors paying up to $11.7 million to own one. The very first one ever sold, however, cost only $100. That was way back in 1962, and the buyer was actor Dennis Hopper.***Thought for the Day: “Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?” -- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
