Working smoke alarm increases fire survival DEAR ABBY: I am a fire officer who has seen too many families experience accidental home fires, many with fatal results. It is devastating to find out that a life could have been saved had someone taken the simple precaution of replacing a dead battery in a smoke alarm. In a recent survey, more than 50 percent of the respondents admitted to removing the batteries in their smoke detector, leaving them inoperable. A working smoke alarm in your home greatly increases your chance of surviving a home fire, but only if it is functional. Please remind your readers to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when they turn their clocks back to standard time on Nov. 3. On average, home fires kill seven people every day. No one should be

METCALF, PRESIDENT, IAFC DEAR OFFICER METCALF: I hope my readers will take your letter to heart as I have, and buy those replacement batteries TODAY if they haven’t already. Yes, I know tomorrow is Halloween — but as distracting as the holiday may be, your family’s safety is more important. If you’re buying candy, grab some batteries. On Saturday night you’ll be turning your clocks back an hour. Before you do, be sure you insert fresh batteries in your smoke detectors and test the alarms. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

(The live drama, which employed fake breaking news reports, panicked some listeners who thought the portrayal of a Martian invasion was real.) • In 1972, 45 people were killed when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train was struck from behind by another train in Chicago’s South Side.
THE BORN LOSER BY ART & CHIP SANSOM
Simple maneuver helps relieve vertigo changes when your body is in different positions. When the fluid moves the hairs, nerve signals are sent to the brain. Those signals get translated in a way that lets you know what position your body is in.

spinning around your body). If you have BPPV, simply looking up or rolling over in bed can dislodge crystals and cause brief bouts of extreme dizziness. Vertigo can feel like the room is spinning or as though you are spinning in the room. It can be just a sense of imbalance. It also can cause nausea, vomiting and ringing in the ears. One treatment for BPPV is the Epley maneuver. In this maneuver, a doctor or physical therapist moves your head and body through a series of positions. You can also learn to do it yourself. You begin by lying on an examination table. The therapist gently moves your head to the left and right, then has you roll over and sit up. Each position moves the loose crystals through the ear canal, repositioning them to relieve symptoms. Your symptoms may improve in as little as 10 minutes. Your

DEAR DOCTOR K: I suffer from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. I’ve heard that something called the Epley maneuver may help. Could you explain what this is? DEAR READER: Vertigo is the sensation that either your body or your environment is moving, usually spinning. Vertigo can be a symptom of many different illnesses and disorders. The type of vertigo you have — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — is the most common form. As you’ve probably experienced, simply changing the position of your head can cause a sudden spinning sensation. Inside the ear are three tiny canals that help us recognize the position of our body in space and maintain balance. Inside the canals is fluid and tiny hairs attached to nerve endings. The way the fluid washes against the hairs
injured or lose a life because of a non-working smoke detector. This is the 26th year the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and Energizer have collaborated on the Change DEAR Your Clock, ABBY Change Your Battery Program. What may Jeanne Phillips seem like a tedious task can be lifesaving. A working smoke alarm can give families precious extra seconds to get out safely. If you help me circulate this important safety reminder, together we can make a difference and save some lives. — WILLIAM R.
doctor also may provide specific exercises for you to continue at home. For more persistent vertigo, your doctor may recommend something called balance rehabilitation. The types of exercises prescribed will depend upon what movements provoke your symptoms. The Epley maneuver, and several similar exercises, have given relief to many people with BPPV. Before these maneuvers were discovered, the vertigo would ultimately go away on its own, but it could take weeks. These maneuvers speed the improvement — from weeks to minutes. Unfortunately, attacks of vertigo do often return, but the maneuvers help drive them away. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
