• It was world-renowned American photographer Ansel Adams who made the following sage observation: “It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.” • You might be surprised to learn that the blood of a grasshopper is white. • Tacumbu prison in Asuncion, Paraguay, is notorious for its overcrowded conditions: 3,500 inmates are crowded into a space designed for half that number, and many of them sleep on cardboard directly on the floor. One inmate, however, until recently enjoyed amenities that many outside the prison walls would love to have. Drug trafficker Chimenes Pavao bribed officials to look the other way, then set up a fully furnished, tastefully decorated three-room suite, complete with air conditioning, a refrigerator, a library, a flat-screen TV, a DVD player and a treadmill. The luxury cell was discovered when a bomb threat caused \ police to search the entire prison. • If you’ve ever been the victim of a purse-snatching, here’s a discouraging bit of information: Those who study such things say that four out of five

perpetrators get away. • In 1804 our planet hit a milestone: a population of 1 billion people. It took 123 years to add another billion, then only 33 more to get to 3 billion, in 1960. We crossed the 4 billion mark in 1974, hit 5 billion in 1987, and got to 6 billion in 1999. In 2011 (or early 2012, depending on who’s doing the estimating, the earth’s population passed 7 billion, and those who study such things expect us to get to 8 billion sometime in the mid- to late 2020s. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Clothes Sprinklers

Q: In my mom’s laundry room I found two clothes sprinklers that I remember her using when I was a child. One is a ceramic Dutch boy that fits on a soda pop bottle filled with water. Is it worth keeping? -Barbara, Pine Bluff, Arkansas A: Before steam irons, clothes requiring ironing had to be manually dampened with water. Sprinklers came in many designs. For example, I have seen ones featuring cats, dogs, a rooster and even a monkey. Typical prices for some of the more unusual ones are: elephant with shamrock on tummy, $150; an extremely rare Dachshund, $500; Mary Poppins, $100; and “Dearie is Weary” in yellow dress, $350. Even common ones generally sell in the $10 to $25 range, so the answer to your question is yes, your sprinklers are worth keeping. ••• Q: My family collects almost everything imaginable. Several years ago, we started picking up matchbooks when we found them in hotels, bars and restaurants. Since there were five of us looking, we soon discovered we had gathered more than 4,000 different ones. I would like to continue this hobby and need your advice. Is there a club for collectors and a basic reference book? --Lynne,

Gainesville, Florida A: One of the largest groups is the Rathkamp Matchbook Society with chapters throughout the country. For information, contact Linda Wolfe, 13 Creekstone Drive, Mont Alto, PA 17237. There are several reference books available. My personal favorite is “The Matchcover Collector’s Price Guide” by Bill Retskin and published by Antique Trader Books. This comprehensive guide features more than 10,000 matchcover descriptions and estimated values in over 150 categories. I am certain that when the first matchcover was created in 1889, few realized it would it become one of the premiere advertising vehicles of the 20th century. Matchbooks have become an important American collectible as well. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

YOURGOOD GOOD HEALTH By Keith M.D. M.D. TOTO YOUR HEALTH By Roach, Keith Roach,

‘I Took an Aspirin!’ DEAR DR. ROACH: I took an aspirin for a seeming heart attack and went to the hospital, where I was asked if I had taken any meds. I answered “no,” and was medicated; the result was panic for the doctors, as my heart rate slowed to a dangerous rate. With care and an extra day in the hospital, I was released. My ignorance about medicines was scary. I think that it should be emphasized that “meds” does not mean only prescriptions. Tell the doctor, “I took an aspirin!” -- R.G. ANSWER: Indeed, your doctors should know about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter, vitamins and other supplements. Sometimes women forget to mention their oral contraceptives. Aspirin is a powerful medicine, not to be taken lightly. That being said, I am not sure why your heart rate slowed to a dangerous rate. Beta blockers usually are given for suspected heart attack, and some people do have dramatic responses to beta blockers, and their heart rates slow way down. I can’t

brain stretching. Start a collection, or expand one you dabbled at before, such as coins or stamps. Consider ham radio, and talk to the world. Even if you don’t think you can paint or draw, taking a class will give you a start. (Remember that Georgia O’Keeffe painted into her 90s.) Writing a daily or weekly blog post on an online forum of your own can give you a voice to express your opinions. Stories, poetry or even a novel are at your fingertips. Take a computer class that will teach you how to create and save files, if that’s where you need to begin. Still don’t know where to start? Make a list of things that interest you and expand from there.

explain why aspirin could have made that more likely, since aspirin shouldn’t slow down the heart rate. I also couldn’t find any interaction between beta blockers and aspirin. ••• DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 78-year-old female who has had three orthopedic surgeries (hip repair, hip replacement and knee replacement) with spinal anesthesia in two years. Each time, the anesthesia has left me with severe orthostatic hypotension requiring medication for months. If I should ever need surgery again, is there any other anesthetic that would be just as effective and not make me ill? -- A.P. ANSWER: This actually is a very common problem, with at least half of people undergoing orthopedic surgery having some orthostatic hypotension (a lowering of blood pressure upon sitting or standing) immediately after surgery. You have had a very prolonged reaction. I spoke with an anesthesiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, who told me that the issue could have been any of the anesthetic and adjuvant agents that were used. He recommended more salt and water before any operation and longer time in progressively upright positions before trying to get up post-operatively. Finally, your next anesthesiologist could look at your preoperative and anesthesia records and try to figure out what agent you had that was most likely to have been causing this, so to avoid its use next time. ••• DEAR DR. ROACH: Two lab tests done in the past two years

show that my kidneys are not functioning at 100 percent. Is there any action I can take (such as diet or medication) to keep these figures from worsening? -- L.M. ANSWER: Kidney function tends to decrease with age, but kidneys also can be damaged from high blood pressure, diabetes, some medications and many other causes. If kidney function is low, your doctor should look at your prescription medication and carefully evaluate their dosing. Also, antiinflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen should be minimized. Even Tylenol can cause long-term kidney damage in high doses for long periods of time. Managing any chronic illnesses and avoiding toxic drugs are the most important actions. •••

Driving Defensively By Craig W. Armstrong

We protect ourselves in many ways. We protect our health by eating right and exercising. We protect our jobs by showing up every day and working hard. But there is another place where protecting ourselves can be a matter of life or death, it’s when we are on the road. Defensive driving is something we should all practice so here are a few tips for staying safe on the road. First and foremost, pay attention! Our lives are busy and our minds can race with what needs to be done that day. But an accident can ruin that well planned out day. Driving is a responsibility, so focus when you are behind the wheel. Part of being an alert driver is constantly scanning the road ahead. Keep your eyes moving, not only to what is in front of you, but also what is behind you and to your sides. Accidents can happen in a split second, so be vigilant. Along with vigilance, always be aware of road conditions and adjust accordingly. No matter how good of a driver you are, a slick road is the great equalizer. As we have already covered, our lives are busy and busy people are usually in a hurry. Being a hurry can

mean tailgating and that can lead to an accident. Make sure you have an adequate distance between your car and the one in front of you. A good way to do this is to go to Mississippi. Choose a fixed object, like a sign or something along the road. When the car in front of you passes it, count “one Mississippi, two Mississippi.” If you reach two Mississippi when you pass the object, you are far enough back, if not, slow down! When we are in a hurry and can’t get there fast enough, we often get frustrated. This brings us to road rage. We have all been there, maybe not to the degree of actual “road rage,” but we have all been frustrated with traffic or another driver. This is when we need to take a deep breath and go to our happy place. You may be in a hurry, but getting in an accident is going to take longer than just relaxing and going with the flow. Driving distractions come in all forms and most we can control. Arguably the most dangerous is texting while driving. There is no text more important than keeping yourself safe, so don’t text and drive! Other distractions we can avoid are eating, putting on makeup, and talking on our cell phones. Also make continued on page 7

sure the kids are behaving and any pets are not running wild in the vehicle while you are trying to drive. Good luck with the kids! It is good advice to always drive for

Rest in Peace? Not at These Cemeteries The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration earned high marks in a recent survey of customer satisfaction, but on the state level, it’s another story. The VA cemetery in Exeter, Rhode Island, under the control of the Department of Human Services, incorrectly laid out a row of graves in 2010, and since then seven veterans were interred in the wrong place. Even when the permanent grave markers were installed, the problem wasn’t noticed and markers were put in the wrong place on 21 graves. The mistake wasn’t found until recently, when cemetery workers tried to make space for a veteran’s wife, and there was no room in

the grave. Can you imagine? You visit the burial site of your loved one and later learn you were in the wrong place, year after year? There apparently were no procedures in place to prevent this kind of mistake, but there will be now. A second person will need to verify that the remains are in the correct place. It wasn’t the first mistake of this kind at the Rhode Island cemetery. One woman inquired about why the ground at her mother’s grave wasn’t freshly turned. It was discovered that the woman, the wife of a former state senator, had been buried a few rows down and a few spaces over, instead of with her husband. Explanation: human error. This is the same cemetery where piles of U.S. flags were discovered last year dumped like so much garbage, found and photographed by a son who came to pay his respects at his father’s grave. It’s hard to pick out which veterans cemetery is the worst, but this one is right up there: In Texas, a veteran’s grave marker left off his middle name. The replacement marker had the word “united” misspelled, as in Uinted States of America. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

There are times when you meet a guy and just instantly like him. It’s part instinct, part intuition. Your bloodline has survived long enough to see you into the world; while you’re in it, you tend to gravitate to the people who will make living in it a little more comfortable. Kevin Plank, the founder and CEO of Under Armour is just such a man. I know. He played softball for me. Let me explain. I attended the University of Maryland, and first met Kevin Plank at the worldfamous Bentley’s on College Park’s Route 1. A childhood friend was dating a guy who lived with Plank, and when his house had a vacancy, at her urging, he vetted me at Bentley’s. Plank looked like a guy’s guy -- not a pretty boy, definitely a tough guy, smiled a lot, engaging, strong handshake ... emanated a sort of uncommon stature. Plank was unlike any college kid I had ever met, and living in his house with a motley crew of ACC wrestlers, football players, a baseball player (me), hockey player and potato chip-salesman’s son, plus the women who loved us -- all of us had girlfriends, so we were kept well in check -- was as great an experience as I’ve ever had. But it’s also where I had the privilege of witnessing Plank in action as a businessman. My first night living there, Plank grilled me about the Grateful Dead. He had heard there was a marketplace in the parking lots, and I, no stranger to the scene, explained it to him in great detail. Within a few days of the show, hundreds of T-shirts were delivered to our house, assembled accorded to size and sold at the next few Dead shows by Plank and his team. Before Valentine’s Day, he was the guy who drove to the docks of Baltimore and negotiated for a huge shipment of roses for pennies on the dollar. He came back to College Park, built a call-center in our living room (beer on tap), and hired us to take orders after he had plastered the campus with fliers touting $19 roses by the dozen. The guy was 21. He invented Under Armour out of necessity. He was a stocky, Irish kid who played football very hard, and he sweated a lot ... an awful lot. I think one day he weighed the T-shirt under his pads, and it contained about 11 pounds of water weight. That led him to invent Under Armour, and his salesmanship after graduation took him over the top. Ever since, he has done nothing but champion the American worker and add a great deal of excitement to the world of sports. But when he expressed enthusiasm for our president’s economic agenda, a bunch of people did the mindless #hashtag thing and tried to create uproar. This, to a guy that has done everything he can to return jobs to Baltimore, to keep his company as American as ever ... a guy who consistently gives back to his community, a guy that shakes your hand and means what he says. Bashing Kevin Plank? Not on my watch. Plank said he wants to create jobs and thinks Trump can help. Personally, I can’t wait for the day he runs for president. Protect our house, Kevin. You always have. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Give Your Kitchen A Facelift By Tresa Erickson

Take a walk through your home. How’s your kitchen holding up? Is it starting to look a bit outdated and worn? Perhaps it’s time you changed that. Don’t have a lot of money to spend? No problem. You don’t have to spend big bucks on a kitchen remodel to make the room look good. With a few inexpensive fixes, you give your kitchen a whole new look. Paint is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to transform the appearance of a room. Almost any surface in the kitchen can be painted from wooden cabinets to laminate countertops to paneled walls to faded linoleum. Go ahead, be brave and paint your kitchen walls that bold color you’ve always wanted. Brighten your dark cabinets and woodwork with a fresh coat of white paint. Transform those old laminate countertops and linoleum floors

with a faux finish resembling stone. Want to make your freshly painted cabinets sing? Give them new pulls. Switching out old hardware for new will do wonders to revive tired cabinets and update a kitchen. Even if you decided to stick with your cabinets as is, don’t neglect replacing the hardware. You will be surprised what an effect such a small change will have. How’s the lighting in your kitchen? Not so great? Replace it. Take down that brass chandelier from the 1970s and paint or replace it. Switch out that tarnished brass overhead light for a sleek chrome one and that mustardcolored globe in the light above the sink for a frosted white one. Lighting fine, but need more of it? You don’t have to hire an electrician to install more lighting in your kitchen. You can find a variety of battery-operated fixtures that you can install yourself. If those won’t work, consider adding a lamp somewhere in the room. Got an old ceiling fan in your kitchen that could use an update but not in your budget to replace it? No big deal. Turn off the breaker, grab a ladder and give your fan a good cleaning. Remove the fan blades and paint or replace them. Add a new pull chain, and your fan will look good as new. Traffic flow in your kitchen a little tight? Take a good, hard look at what’s in your continued on page 11 kitchen and eliminate all of the pieces of

furniture that you can do without. Get rid of that baker’s rack and store your cookbooks in a cabinet or drawer. Trade out your large kitchen table for a smaller one and move the plants to the bay window in the living room. Clear the way for better traffic flow in your kitchen. Clutter taken hold of your kitchen? Put a stop to it. Take a day to sort through drawers and cabinets and clear away all of the clutter. Donate items you never or rarely use. Bring in trays, lazy Susans and other items to organize the stuff remaining. Move small appliances off the countertops and into a cabinet. Get rid of the clutter and see how spacious your kitchen becomes. Once you have given your kitchen a facelift, don’t forget to clean it. Nothing brightens up a room like a thorough cleaning. Wash those cabinets inside and out, scrub that backsplash and floor, and scour those appliances. Make your new kitchen sparkle.

Kitten’s Sudden Illness Has Owner on Guilt Trip DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We had a very scary weekend when our new kitten, “Maxie,” who is about 12 weeks old, curled up on his bed and wouldn’t wake up. I rushed him to the veterinarian, where he was given fluids but took several hours to come around. He stayed lethargic for the next couple of days. I feel terrible that he got so ill with a respiratory infection, and that I didn’t notice anything wrong. What signs should I have looked for that might have kept him from getting so ill? -- Doreen in Wheeling, West Virginia DEAR DOREEN: Observant owners often can spot

Kittens can become ill very quickly; Maxie may have begun showing symptoms during the night, when you were asleep and couldn’t observe him. And often, cats reveal few to no symptoms at all. They’ll frequently try to hide symptoms of illness -- an instinct for self-preservation. Subtle signs that things aren’t right include your cat hiding away and not wanting to come out; reduced appetite; lack of interest in toys and things that used to stimulate him; and physical signs like slower response or trouble walking. Vomiting or diarrhea are major warning signs, of course. Today, put aside any guilt at not catching Maxie’s illness sooner -- that may not have been an option -and instead focus on helping him recover. Follow the vet’s instructions on giving him medicine, what to feed him and when, and make sure his bedding is clean and warm (a heating pad underneath can be a big help).

Has “The Catch” been canceled? I’ve been waiting and waiting for it to come back, but I haven’t heard anything. — Deena S., via email The Shonda Rhimes-created detective dramedy — which stars Mireille Enos (as Alice Vaughan) and Peter Krause (Benjamin Jones) — will return to ABC on Thursday, March 9. I’ve watched the first few episodes, and I can say unequivocally that you are in for a treat. T.R. Knight (of “Grey’s Anatomy” fame) joins the cast as Alice Vaughan’s ne’er-do-well little brother, Tommy. Sonya Walger is back as Margot Bishop, plus John Simm as Rhys Griffiths (my favorite), as well as Rose Rollins, Jay Hayden and Elvy Yost as Alice’s fellow private investigators. The series takes on a different tone, doing away with the case-of-the-week format and instead focusing on the lives of the main characters, how they get in and out of trouble, and fall in and out of love, with a cliffhanger at the end of each episode. It’s a fun and frisky format to counteract the usually heavy storylines of other Shondaland series like “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder.” Side note: Be on the lookout for Celebrity Extra favorite Tzi Ma in episode two as a sushi chef who’s preparing more than just delicious dishes. *** Where did “Lucifer” go? They left us with quite the cliffhanger of Lucifer packing up shop, and leaving Chloe and company behind with many questions. — Nancy G., via email Don’t worry. Your favorite Dark Angel is merely on hiatus. The rest of season two will air on FOX beginning May 1. I’ve also received word that the network has renewed the fantasy/police procedural for a 22-episode third season, so we’ll be privy to even more shenanigans from the charming Tom Ellis in the titular role. *** READERS: As Murphy’s Law would have it, just days after I submit-

ted my column to my editor for print, there have been updates on two of the shows I reported on. I’ve just learned that “The OA,” which features Jason Isaacs and Britt Marling, has been renewed for a second season by Netflix. I’ve also learned a bit more about Netflix’s “Stranger Things”: The action of season two begins about one year after season one ended, on Halloween. Now that Will is back from the Upside Down, co-creator Matt Duffer reveals: “He seems to be seeing images from the Upside Down — the question is whether they’re real or not. So it seems like he’s having some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.” Sean Astin joins the series as Bob, an old high-school friend of Winona Ryder’s character, Joyce, whom she starts dating. Mike and Nancy are dealing with the “deaths” of their friends Eleven and Barb, and Hopper is just trying to keep all the balls he’s juggling from falling to the ground and revealing the unexplainable phenomena that happened in Hawkins the previous year.

Try this recipe for Toaster Oven Hard-Boiled Eggs, and then use them to make deviled eggs or my recipe for Spicy Egg Salad Sandwiches.

TOASTER OVEN “HARD-BOILED” EGGS Preparing “hard-boiled” eggs using the toaster oven is one of the easiest ways I’ve found to prepare a large or small amount of eggs for any number of recipes. 1. Heat toaster oven to 325 F. Put 3 to 6 eggs directly on the toaster oven rack, placing them parallel to the rack so they don’t roll around. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.

2. Remove the eggs, and place them into a bowl of ice water. Crack the eggs all around and leave them to soak in the ice water for approximately 15 minutes for easier peeling.

SPICY EGG SALAD SANDWICHES

(Makes 4 sandwiches) hard-cooked eggs cup non-fat, plain Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise 3– 4 teaspoons Sriracha Sauce 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 green onions, roots removed and discarded, tops and white parts thinly sliced 1 large stalk celery, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or basil 8 slices whole wheat or white wheat bread 1. Place the peeled eggs, yogurt, mayo and Sriracha sauce in a medium-sized bowl, and mash the ingredients together with a fork until well-combined but still chunky in texture. Mix in the vinegar, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the green onion, celery, parsley or basil. If mixture seems dry, add another 1/2 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of yogurt until mixture reaches desired consistency. 2. Toast bread, if desired, and allow to cool. Spread egg salad on the cooled toast. Top with remaining slice and serve immediately. Egg salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

My husband often teases me because even though I can cook complex dishes perfectly, I sometimes burn the toast! Recently, we received a convection/toaster oven from Sears Kenmore. I like its compact size, functionality and numerous cooking applications. I’ve also enjoyed experimenting with all of the ways that you can use a toaster oven to save time and energy. While researching new recipes for my toaster oven, I discovered some interesting facts about the origins of our modern toaster. The term “toast” is derived from the Latin words “torrere” and “tostum,” meaning “to burn” or “scorch.” Bread was originally toasted over a fire with a stick. As time went on, toast became a popular item in Rome. Later, long-handled toasting forks were used, or the bread was placed in a metal frame with a long handle and toasted over a fire. After several attempts and a number of electrical fires, the modern version of the toaster appeared in 1893. Scottish scientist Alan MacMasters created one of the first versions of the toaster we use today. The first pop-up toaster was patented by American inventor Charles Strite in 1921. Most toaster ovens operate using 1,500 watts compared with around 7,500 watts for a large electric oven. While the toaster oven may require more electricity to toast bread than a traditional 900-watt pop-up version, this small appliance is energy-effi-

cient when compared to an electric oven. Since most toaster ovens are compact in size, you may need to invest in smaller cookware as follows: 9½ by 6¼-inch cookie sheet pan 9¼ by 6 inch rack (for crisping foods) 11 by 7-inch roast/cake pan 6 cup muffin tin Pie Plates (8- and 9-inch) Traditional and mini loaf pans Square metal baking pans or glass baking dishes (8- and 9-inch) Round cake pans (6-, 8- and 9-inch) 12-cup mini muffin pan Lodge cast-iron mini skillets: 3.5 inch or a 6.5 inch 4, 5, 6 or 10-ounce ramekins One of my favorite ways to use my new toaster/convection oven is to prepare “hard-boiled” eggs. Baking the eggs makes them easier to peel, and they tend to come out perfectly yellow in the center without any greenish rings.

Make Chocolate Roses to Garnish Desserts When you stroll by the pastry section of your market or neighborhood bakery, do you ever wonder how they make the lovely roses that top the tempting cakes and tortes? While there may be a variety of ingredients and techniques, this classic recipe invented by pastry chefs uses a simple combination of melted chocolate and light corn syrup. The edible clay can be transformed into just about any shape and decoration, but it’s especially fun to include kids and create roses with my easy technique. You’ll be set to garnish a dessert with creativity when there’s something to celebrate with your family.

CHOCOLATE ROSES (Makes 10-12 roses) ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 1½ cups) 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for about one and a half to two minutes in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. If you don’t have a microwave, use a double boiler. 2. Add the corn syrup to the melted chocolate. Stir. The lovely smooth mixture will turn into a clay consistency. 3. Put a sheet of waxed paper on a cutting board or kitchen counter and scoop the chocolate mixture onto it. Spread it out evenly with your fingers until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cover loosely with waxed paper and let it rest for at least two hours. The clay will become pliable. 4. To make a rose, roll 10 smooth balls of chocolate clay a bit smaller 10

than the size of a marble, and line them up an inch apart on waxed paper. Cover the little balls with a sheet of waxed paper. Press down hard on the paper with your thumb to spread out the clay. Aim for the size of a half-dollar. 5. To create petals for a rose, remove one clay disk and curl it into a tepee shape, narrow at the top and wider at the bottom. Wrap the next disk around the opening of the tepee as if you were making it a little door. The third disk goes at the back of the tepee. The fourth along the side. Layer as many of these clay disks as you’d like.

Bend back the edges of the disks ever so slightly. Don’t worry if little slits appear, because they will make the petals look more natural. 6. Set finished rose on a cupcake or other dessert. NOTE: Use up the clay the same day you make it, while it is pliable. Candy melts (available at craft stores) and/or butterscotch chips may be substituted for the chocolate chips. (See these steps for making a rose at my website www.donnaerickson. com.) *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
