Median price of homes purchased rose 2.3 percent to $110,000 Homeowners in the United States paid a median price of $110,000 for their homes, according to a 2011 American Housing Survey profile released this month. This is an increase of 2.3 percent from the $107,500 reported in the 2009 survey. The median purchase price of homes constructed in the past four years was higher at $235,000, down 2.1 percent from the $240,000 reported for new construction in 2009.

The profile provides information on the nation’s housing costs, mortgages and a variety of other physical and financial characteristics about housing in the United States. The statistics come from the American Housing Survey, which is sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and is the most comprehensive housing survey in the United States.

National data are collected every odd-numbered year and metropolitan area data are collected on a rotating basis. The Census Bureau also released profiles for 29 selected metro areas.

“The last five years remind us how central housing is to each of us personally, to the fiscal health of our cities and counties, and the national economy. For 40 years,

the American Housing Survey has provided a unique set of data that connects the detailed characteristics of who is living in homes to the detailed characteristics of the homes themselves,” said Kurt Usowski, HUD’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Affairs.

Some highlights include: • The median year occupied homes were built in the United States was 1974.

• Nationally, piped gas was the most prevalent home heating source, used by 50.4 percent of occupied homes.

Electricity was used by 35.3 percent.

• Among owner-occupied homes in the United States, 46.3 percent had working carbon monoxide detectors.

• Among all U.S. homes, 72.5 percent of owner-occupied units had central air.

• Median monthly expenditures for homeowners in the United States totaled $151 for real estate taxes, $121 for electricity and $58 for property insurance.

• Among U.S. owner-occupied homes, 65.4 percent had a regular and/or home equity mortgage and 23.4 percent had a refinanced primary mortgage.

• The median monthly mortgage payment for homeowners was $1,015 in 2011.

What are sports drinks doing to your teeth?

With summer sports in full swing, kids will be very tempted to gulp down large sugary sports drinks to stay hydrated. Consuming too many of these beverages, however, can harm a child’s teeth. Delta Dental of Illinois advises parents to monitor and limit the number of these beverages that children consume to help prevent cavities.

“Young athletes need to replace fluids, carbohydrates, protein and electrolytes after strenuous exercise,” said Dr. Katina Spadoni, DDS, dental director for Delta Dental of Illinois. “The high sugar count and highly acidic content of sports drinks can increase a child’s susceptibility to tooth decay and enamel erosion if too much is consumed.”

Like soda, energy and sports drinks contain high levels of acidity and high concentrations of sugar. A study from the Harvard

School of Public Health found that 12 ounces of a leading brand of cola and a leading brand of energy drink each contained 42 grams of sugar, while a leading brand of sports drink contained 21 grams of sugar. According to a University of Iowa study, a leading sports drink had the greatest erosion potential on both enamel and roots of teeth when compared to leading energy drinks, soda and apple juice.

Sugar itself does not rot teeth, but rather, the acid that is produced when sugar mixes with certain bacteria in the mouth. Decay forms around the parts of the tooth where the plaque accumulates. The high acid from the drinks themselves can also have an erosive effect on the whole surface of the tooth. Sugary, acidic drinks are particularly damaging when they are sipped fre-

quently throughout the day because they spend a prolonged amount of time washed over the teeth.

A great way to monitor a child’s intake of sugary drinks is to limit consumption to a single 12- to 16-ounce bottle instead of buying a 32- or 64-ounce bottle. Encourage kids to consume as much water as they do sports drink. Drinking water keeps them hydrated and helps wash any lingering sports drink from teeth. If your kids find water boring, consider adding slices of orange, lemon or cucumber to make it more appealing.

“As with all foods and beverages that contain significant amounts of sugar, moderation is the key to maintaining good oral health,” Spadoni said.

‘Limping Through Life’ This time, you overdid it.

You were feeling fine – feeling great, in fact – so you pushed yourself to Terri just past Schlichenmeyer your limit.

Now you’re paying for it. Your head hurts, your shoulders scream, your knees feel like they’re broken, and your feet are killing you.

What you wouldn’t give to lie down for a week or so. But, as you’ll see in the new book “Limping Through Life” by Jerry Apps, there are some things that you just have to work past.

Twelve-year-old Jerry Apps figured that he was just plain tired.

And no wonder: he’d spent that January day sledding with his friends, followed by a hearty supper, barn chores and helping his father shovel a path through the snow from house to barnyard. It was well past 8 o’clock when Apps tried to do homework, but he could barely stay awake.

The next morning, he felt worse: he had a sore throat and his leg hurt “like the dickens.” Like most farm kids in the

1940s, he was used to cuts, scrapes, and minor pain – but this was bad.

His mother kept him home from school.

It would be weeks before Apps would return to his one-room schoolhouse.

For nearly a decade, post-World War II, Americans lived in fear of an epidemic that “dashed hopes ... generated near terror” and caused “panic in some communities.”

In Wisconsin alone, some 60,000 cases were reported in 1952. A vaccine for the disease wouldn’t be available until 1955 — but until that time, polio “dramatically changed” young lives.

One of them was Jerry Apps’.

His parents were told that Apps wouldn’t walk again, but doctors never said he couldn’t drive a tractor – so later that spring, Apps’ father put his son out to field.

Doctors also never said Apps couldn’t play baseball, so teachers encouraged him to hit the diamond. They never said he wouldn’t ride a bike, and that’s how Apps later got to high school, almost five miles from his parents’ farm.

And they never said he wouldn’t serve in the

armed forces, so Apps was a proud ROTC member who almost went to Korea.

Let me say this, straight up: you’ll never whine about being sick again, once you’ve read “Limping Through Life.”

At the outset, author Jerry Apps’ story is one that “old-timers” can appreciate, especially if they farmed back before electricity and TV came to rural America. They’ll appreciate a trip down Memory Lane to times past – but for Boomer readers, that lack of amenities isn’t the jawdropper here.

What’s astounding is that Apps’ parents and other elders instinctively seemed to know how to help him regain his mobility, despite a grim prognosis. Apps seems

nonplussed about that incredible resourcefulness, as if it was just another thing on the farm – a practical attitude that, mixed with humility, is a sure winner.

I dare say that this isn’t a book for younger readers, but Boomers, polio survivors and longtime farmers will truly enjoy it. If that’s you, then read “Limping Through Life.”

You’ll be glad you did it.

The origin of the Library of Congress The Library was founded in 1800, making it the oldest federal cultural institution in the nation. On Aug. 24, 1814, British troops burned the Capitol building (where the Library was housed) and destroyed the Library’s core collection of 3,000 volumes. On Jan. 30, 1815, Congress approved the purchase of Thomas Jefferson’s personal library of 6,487 books for $23,950.

‘Little Women’ auditions HENRY — River Valley Players announces auditions for “Little Women” (the musical), based on Louisa May Alcott’s own family experiences.

The beloved story of the March sisters is timeless and deals with issues that are as relevant today as when they were written. Now this wonderful literary classic has been brought to life as an exhila-

rating new musical filled with glorious music, and heart.

Little Women embodies the complete theatrical experience, guaranteeing a night filled with laughter, tears, and lifting of the spirit. This powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope — the sound of young America finding its voice.

• Amy March (Soprano, age late teens to 20s) the young-
