How do we measure up to the feats of others? This week, Tidbits investigates the age of these achievers at the time of their accomplishments. • Mary, Queen of Scots became Queen of Scotland when she was just six days old, upon the death of her father. Scotland was ruled by regents throughout her childhood. When Mary was 16, she married the French Dauphin Francis, who became King Francis II when she was 17. The union lasted only two years, as Francis died in 1560, and Mary returned to Scotland. Her life did not have a happy ending, as she was beheaded for plotting the assassination of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England. • Some golfers might never shoot a 48 for nine holes of golf, but Tiger Woods achieved this feat at age 3. He had already been featured in Golf Digest by the age of 5. • Judy Garland made her first stage appearance at age 2, when she joined her singing siblings in an act called The Gumm Sisters. She went on to a film career spanning over 40 years, and is immortalized as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, although she made more than 35 other films. Despite her extraordinary talent, Judy was unable to deal with the demands of fame, and turned to drugs and alcohol. She perished from an overdose of barbiturates at age 47. turn the page for more!

Dog Flu Symptoms by Sam Mazzota DEAR PAW’S CORNER: At my dog’s recent checkup, the veterinarian told me to keep an eye on him as a new strain of flu is going around in my area. I didn’t even know dogs could get the flu. Can you tell other pet owners what symptoms to look for? -- Carol in Chicago DEAR CAROL: Dogs (and cats) can contract certain strains of the flu virus, and veterinarians even offer flu shots for pets to protect against the most common strains. In the Chicago area, a new strain of flu virus that affects dogs and cats was recently identified by scientists at Cornell University

and the University of Wisconsin. The Chicago Sun Times reported that more than 1,000 dogs have become ill with the flu this spring. Symptoms include a cough, runny nose and fever. The severity of these symptoms can vary, so it’s best to contact the vet even if your dog’s symptoms seem mild. If your pet is diagnosed with the flu, your vet may recommend that you keep your pet well hydrated, and may or may not prescribe medicine to ease some symptoms. Do not take your pet to a kennel, doggy daycare, dog park or any other place where it may be around other dogs. If its symptoms get worse or it stops eating or drinking, take your dog to the vet immediately. A vaccine is available for dogs and cats that protects against the most common strains of the flu, and can lessen the effects of other strains. Talk to your vet about getting this shot.

* It was a man named Thomas Jones who made the following sage observation: “Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.” * If you’re like the average American, you order meals to take away from restaurants more often than you actually eat inside a restaurant. * You may be forgiven if you’ve never heard of Violet Jessup, who lived a remarkably fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on your point of view) life. At the age of 23, Jessup was serving as a steward on the RMS Olympic when the luxury liner collided with a British warship and sank. She survived to continue her profession, taking a position on the RMS Titanic less than two years later, in 1912. That didn’t end well, as we all know, but once again, Jessup survived. Amazingly, she continued her oceangoing career, and during World War I she served as a nurse aboard the Hospital Ship Britannic. When the Britannic struck a mine and sank, Jessup was pulled underwater and hit her head on the keel of the ship. Despite her injuries, she was rescued once again. Three maritime disasters didn’t seem to faze her, though; she remained a stewardess for the rest of her career. * In 2007, researchers using Google Earth discovered the world’s largest beaver dam. Located in the wilderness of northern Canada, the dam is more than a half- mile long at 2,790 feet; experts estimate the structure was started in the mid-1970s.

AGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT (continued): • When she was born in 1912, the press called Doris Duke the “million dollar baby.” She was the only child of American tobacco baron James Duke, who headed a company in business since the Civil War. Her father’s donation of $40 million resulted in a name change from Trinity College in Durham, North Carolina, to Duke University. When Doris was 12, her father died and bequeathed her upwards of $30 million, leaving only a modest trust fund to her mother. At 14, Doris sued her mother to keep her from selling the family assets. Over the course of her lifetime, Doris increased her father’s fortune by four times. She spent much of her time traveling and was an avid art collector. Doris also owned five homes, including a 2000acre New Jersey farm, a penthouse on Park Avenue, a Beverly Hills mansion, a Hawaiian palace, and a summer home in Newport, Rhode Island. When she died in 1993, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation was worth about $1.2 billion. • Noted French painter Claude Monet was 60 when he began work on his famous water lilies series of paintings. The group of 250 works were this Impressionist’s depiction of his flower garden at Giverny. He suffered from cataracts in both eyes when many of the panels were painted, and underwent a risky eye surgery at age 82, which was not overly successful. In 2014, one of the Water Lilies paintings sold at a Christie’s auction for $27 million. • Greek runner Dimitrion Yordanidis was 98 when he completed a 26-mile marathon in 7 hours, 33 minutes, in 1976. It took 100-year-old Fajua Singh a little longer, just over 8 hours, to finish the Toronto Marathon in 2011. Compare these to the record marathon time of just over 2 hours, 2 minutes.

Stand Downs for Homeless Veterans The Department of Veterans Affairs has been working hard to meet its goal of eliminating veteran homelessness by the end of fiscal year 2015 and getting veterans into permanent and stable housing, but the need is still great. Depending on the statistics you read, the number of homeless veterans is either going up, or down ... or the veterans are moving to other locations, altering the count. In any event, there still are too many veterans on the street. You can help by stepping forward and participating in a Stand Down. Stand Downs span a variety of services. There
are three- and four-day events with shelter, one or two-day resource fairs, health fairs and job fairs. Services can range from referrals for employment, substance-abuse treatment, health care and housing, to food, shelter, legal help, dental services and clothing. Veterans also can get counseling and help with benefits and Social Security. To participate individually, go online to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (nchv. org) and look under Service Providers. To host a Stand Down with your veterans service group, go to the same website and read the Guide and Overview. Be sure your event is listed there as well as on the VA site at www.va.gov/homeless. If you’re a veteran seeking services from a Stand Down event, call 202-461-1857 to find out when one will be in your area. If you’re a homeless veteran (or are about to be homeless) call 877-4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for help. If you have a computer (or can use one at the library), see www.va.gov/homeless for more information.

AGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT (continued): • Famed astronaut John Glenn was 40 years old when he became the first American to orbit Earth, making three orbits aboard Friendship 7 in February, 1962. The Ohio-born Glenn was a 22-year-old Marine when he was deployed to the Pacific Front in World War II, flying 59 combat missions over the course of the war. During the Korean War, he served on 90 missions. At 38, he was selected for the U.S. Space Program. Glenn retired from NASA two years after his historic flight into space. At age 53, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, and at 63, made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 1998, at age 77, after an absence of 36 years, John Glenn returned to space aboard the space shuttle Discovery, becoming the oldest person to fly in space. The mission lasted nine days and included a study on aging and space travel. Glenn returned to his senatorial duties for another year, retiring at 78. • Most folks haven’t heard of Hulda Crooks, an American mountaineer. This incredible woman climbed Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States, and Japan’s Mt. Fuji at age 91. In fact, she climbed to Mt. Whitney’s 14,505-foot (4,421-m) peak 23 times between the ages of 65 and 91, along with 97 other peaks. At 95, she was still walking two miles every day. Hulda lived to be 101. • At 95, Grandma Moses, who had taken up painting at age 78, wrote, “…in olden times, things were not so rushed. I think people were more content, more satisfied with life than they are today. You don’t hear nearly as much laughter and shouting as you did in my day, and what was fun for us wouldn’t be fun now.” This renowned American folk artist generated 1,500 paintings over three decades before passing away at age 101.

* On May 19, 1836, during a raid, Commanche Indians in Texas kidnap 9-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker and kill her family.

Weakened by self-imposed starvation, she died of influenza. * On May 18, 1920, Karol Jozef Wojtyla is born in Poland. Wojtyla went on to become Pope John Paul II, history’s most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century. Pope John Paul II issued the Catholic Church’s first apology for its actions during World War II. * On May 21, 1932, aviator Amelia Earhart becomes the first pilot to repeat Charles Lindbergh’s feat, landing her plane in Ireland after a 2,000mile solo flight across the North Atlantic. * On May 23, 1941, Joe “The Brown Bomber” Louis beats Buddy Baer to retain his heavyweight title at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. Baer knocked Louis through the ropes in the first round, but Louis clawed his way back and eventually gutted out a victory. * On May 22, 1969, the legendary actor, philanthropist and automobile enthusiast Paul Newman makes his onscreen racing debut in the film “Winning.” Three years later, Newman launched a racing career of his own, driving a Lotus Elan in his first Sports Car Club of America race. * On May 24, 1971, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, an antiwar newspaper advertisement signed by 29 U.S. soldiers supporting the Concerned Officers Movement appears.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Could the cause of chronic bad breath be due to having a tortuous esophagus? I’ve always had a horrible taste in my mouth 10 to 20 minutes after eating -- sometimes worse than others, depending on what I’ve eaten. I was diagnosed with GERD 10 years ago. I tried eliminating certain foods, had my tonsils removed in my late 20s and have brought it up with doctors a few times, to no avail. I have regular cleanings every three months with a dental hygienist, and I floss regularly, gargle and brush my teeth two or three times a day. I do not enjoy going to social events or participating in group activities. I am too em barrassed to discuss this with anyone, including my gastroenterologist, who discovered this type of esophagus during my endoscopy. A TV doctor said there are millions of people out there who can’t find a cure for their bad breath. Please help me! -- S.H. ANSWER: There are indeed millions of people with bad breath, and many of them are unaware of it. On the other hand, millions of people who think they have bad breath do not, when examined objectively by professionals. This is largely because it is very difficult to judge what our own breath smells like. This is common enough that it has a name: halitophobia. Approximately 80 percent to 90 percent of bad breath comes from the oral cavity; the nasal passages, tonsils and sinuses are the causes in nearly all the others. Bad breath almost never
Month FREE at Level 5 or Higher! arises from the esophagus or stomach, so I don’t think your tortuous (a term meaning that the esophagus is twisted somewhat and doesn’t go straight down) esophagus is the cause. A bad taste in your mouth certainly can come from having GERD. Many people think that the bad taste means their breath smells bad when, in fact, it doesn’t. I think you need to have an evaluation by an expert. Some ENT doctors have particular expertise in this area. The booklet on heartburn explains GERD and acid reflux. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 501W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 76-year-old woman who enjoys a 6-ounce glass of ruby-red grape fruit juice every morning before my breakfast of cereal, half a banana and coffee. My husband has been trying to convince me that I should stop having my morning juice, as it is a real “sugar bomb.� Is he correct in his thinking? -P.W. ANSWER: A 6-ounce glass of grapefruit juice is a perfectly reasonable serving size. Six ounces would contain about 16 grams of sugar. That’s less than half of what’s in a can of soda, and although it’s a good chunk of your daily sugar intake, if that’s where you want to have it, that’s fine. Your husband should lighten up. I see people drinking 64 ounces of juice or soda. THOSE are sugar bombs.

Picking a Hospital Medicare’s online site Hospital Compare now uses stars to rate hospitals. This is good -- and bad -- when it comes to judging a hospital. The Good: At least there is another tool to help guide you toward selecting the right hospital. The
star ratings look at things like pain control and communication with the patient. The Bad: The star method is based on the appraisals of patients who’ve been in hospitals. If a patient has had a bad experience, it might have nothing to do with the care he or she received. Patients who are surveyed are chosen randomly, and they’re not all Medicare recipients. (What would be interesting is seeing a comparison of the results of patients on Medicare versus those who have private insurance. Is our care different from those with another insurance plan?) Hospitals, of course, aren’t thrilled about these star surveys, saying that a difference of only a point can move a hospital down from three stars to two ... or down to one. They also point to the fact that
it’s just patient opinion that makes up the rating, and that there’s much more to a hospital than a patient’s experience. The American Hospital Association even says, “There’s a risk of oversimplifying the complexity of quality care.” Medicare does its own reports, but those are based on dry statistics, such as how many people got infections while there. In time, the site also will rate hospitals based on outcomes and safety, but for now, the patient appraisals and the Medicare reports are what’s available. To see how your hospital compares, go online to www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (continued): • Serving as Philadelphia’s postmaster for 16 years led to Franklin’s invention of an improved odometer. It began with his curiosity as to how far he was traveling by carriage between Philadelphia and Boston, carrying out his postmaster duties. He attached a geared device to the rear wheel of his carriage, measuring the revolutions made by the wheel. Every 400 revolutions caused the device to register ahead one mile (1.6 km). He used his invention to streamline the mail delivery, measuring the distances between postal stations to develop more efficient mail routes. • Franklin was even responsible for a musical instrument called the hydrocrystalophone, which in simpler terms was known as the glass armonica. His armonica consisted of a series of glass bowls of graduated size floating in a tray of water. The varying sizes produced different musical tones based on the size of the bowl. Before long, it was being played in concert halls across Europe and America, and even Mozart and Beethoven composed music for it. • At 79, Franklin was still coming up with new ideas. Suffering from presbyopia, he conceived the idea of “double spectacles,” which allowed him to see distant objects as well as see close work. He hired his optician to use lenses from two sets of glasses, cutting them horizontally, and putting them into frames. It was the birth of bifocals! • Benjamin Franklin did not patent a single one of his inventions, choosing to gift them to the public. In his words, “As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own, freely and gladly.”
Almost half of all parents don’t have a will. That’s a stunning number of people who haven’t put their final wishes in writing. A Princeton Survey Research Associates International’s poll for Caring.com asked adult children across the country for their knowledge about their parents having a will. Here are some of the statistics: * Forty-four percent of parents don’t have a will or living trust, period. * Sixteen percent of adult children don’t know whether their parents have a will. * Of those who know there is a will, half of adult children don’t know where to find those documents, and most don’t know what’s in them. * Only 40 percent of parents have updated their wills within the past five years. * One-quarter of adult children don’t know if the wills have ever been updated. * More females than males know what’s in the wills, but men are more likely than women to know where the wills are. * Older adults, who have older parents and therefore should be much more informed
HOW OLD? HOW YOUNG?
about the location and contents of wills, aren’t much better off than young adults. In the 50-64 age category, 38 percent don’t know what’s in the will and 29 percent don’t know where it is. No matter your age, if you’re a parent, you need a will. Consider what happens if you suddenly pass away without having made written instructions about what’s to happen to your house, your financial accounts and all your other assets. Not only are you leaving your loved ones in a bad position at an emotional time, it’s also going to be expensive for them to sort out. Dying without a will is called intestate, and each state has different rules about how your property will be divided. Those rules won’t necessarily coincide with your wishes. If you consult an attorney about having a will written, ask about revocable living trusts laws in your state. It’s possible (not guaranteed) that your inheritors can avoid the delays of probate. If you have a will, update it periodically to add or revoke provisions by having a codicil (an amendment) added to it. Have all your important documents in one place: insurance policies; information about how to contact your attorney, CPA and financial adviser; and your will. And be sure your family knows where this information is stored.
