TIDBITS® CHECKS OUT FACTS ON GERMS by Kathy Wolfe
You can’t see them, but they’re everywhere! This week, Tidbits focuses on germs, what they are, where they are, and how you can defend yourself against the harmful ones. • “Germ” is a simple name for “pathogen,” anything that can produce disease. In reality, most germs – up to about 99% -- don’t harm you, and in fact, some are good for you! Some bacteria in the stomach aids in the digestive process, while other germs on your skin help keep the bad ones from getting in. We need “good” bacteria to produce yogurt and cheese. Scientists believe that being exposed to certain germs is good for you because it builds up the body’s immune system, increasing your body’s ability to defend itself. The average human has between 2 and 5 lbs. (0.91 to 2.3 kg) of bacteria in the body. • Germs are categorized into four main groups – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are one-celled organisms, so small that 1,000 of them can fit end to end on the tip of your pencil’s eraser. Some bacteria measure around 1,000 nanometers (a nanometer is onebillionth of a meter.) They get their nutrients from their environment, whatever that may be, and can reproduce outside of the body or inside where they cause infections. turn the page for more!

GERMS (continued): • While most bacteria are harmless, the harmful ones are responsible for strep throat, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and even cavities in your teeth. • In order for a virus to reproduce, it needs to be inside living cells, which act as the host. However, they can live for a short time on surfaces such as a countertop or doorknob. Measles, chickenpox, shingles, influenza, and the common cold are examples of viruses. While antibiotics can knock out bacteria, they have no effect on viruses. • Fungi derive their nutrition from people, plants, and animals. They thrive in warm, damp places. Athlete’s foot, ringworm, thrush, and candida are all the result of these multi-celled organisms. • The single-celled protozoa often live in food, soil, water, or insects, and enter the body by these means. Malaria is transmitted by infected mosquitoes, while giardia is spread through water. • Americans miss 50 million days of work because of colds. Did you know that the speed of a sneeze is more than 100 mph (161 km/hr), spreading 5,000 droplets with 10,000 bacteria a distance of up to 12 feet (3.7 m)? • If you ask people where the highest concentration of germs is, most will probably say the toilet! However, studies indicate that cell phones are 18 times dirtier than public toilet handles, with one in six cell phones having E. coli bacteria on it. About 75% of Americans use their phone in the bathroom, but how many people wash their hands after using their phone? It’s recommended that cell phone users clean it with an antibacterial wipe once a week. Do the same with an IPad or tablet.

Cats in the Window
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m writing this not long after returning from the vet, where my cat “Trix” was treated after falling from my apartment’s second-floor window. Fortunately his injuries aren’t serious and he’ll recover, but it was a scary day that was all my fault. Can you please tell your readers to make sure their cats cannot push through the screen windows? Many cats like to sit on the windowsill and watch the outside world, but if something attracts them or if they lean up against a loose screen, it could give way -which is what happened with Trix. -- Jan in Quincy, Massachusetts DEAR JAN: Thank you! I’m glad Trix will be OK. Readers, screen windows often aren’t secured solidly enough to keep a cat from pushing or falling through one. Cats also can tear the screen
with their claws (and sometimes get their claws tangled in the screen, another scary moment). The damage from a small screen rip may not seem like much, but over time constant clawing can open up the screen entirely. To keep your cat safe, try keeping the lower casement of windows shut, and screen the upper casement so you can open that part to let air in. If you have a screened-in porch that your cat likes sitting in, make sure the screen stays in good repair so it can’t escape. Keep your cat even safer around windows by making sure curtain pull cords are either cut short to stay out of reach, or wrapped tightly around mounting hooks. Avoid floor-to-ceiling curtains that cats love to climb; use shorter curtains and make sure curtain rods are mounted securely. Send your questions or pet care tips to ask@ pawscorner.com.

GERMS (continued): • Your kitchen sink also is more germ-laden than the bathroom. In fact, the number one germiest place in your home is the kitchen sponge. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria in the kitchen sink, about 1,000 times more than your toilet. Because bacteria from raw meats and other foods thrive in the sink, you should be scouring it every day with a disinfecting cleanser. Two minutes a day in the microwave will keep your kitchen sponge free of E. coli and salmonella. (Be sure to wet it first.) Dish towels can be as bad as sponges for harboring staph and other bacteria. • What’s the germiest place in your child’s school? The drinking fountain, with 800 times the germs of the toilet seats! Even the lunch trays, faucets, and computer keyboards at schools have more germs than the toilet seat. • Playground equipment ranks high on the list of germy spots, with little hands gripping slides and swings. What’s the worst spot in the playground? Naturally the sandbox! And one study revealed that more than half of the swimming pools tested were positive for E. coli. Don’t swallow the water! • The Centers for Disease Control tell us that 65% of women wash their hands after using the bathroom, compared to 31% of men. For those who do, even the public soap pumps are home to bacteria carried from the stall to the sink. The most cost-effective means of controlling disease is washing hands. But most folks do it incorrectly, washing for only six seconds. To be effective, hands should be lathered with soap and scrubbed for 15 to 20 seconds.

Jct. U.S. 35 and St. Rt. 327 • Jackson, OH 45640 740-288-9995 Chicago Cubs Yearbooks Q: I have some Chicago Cubs yearbooks from the 1950s. How and where can I sell them? -Janet, Oswego, Illinois A: I checked eBay and found dozens of Chicago Cubs yearbooks being offered for sale, including editions from 1948 ($35), 1949 ($26), 1950 ($20), 1955 ($27) and 1956 ($40). I suggest you sell your yearbooks there in order to get -- in my opinion -- the best possible price. *** Q: My late uncle loved paperback novels and managed to collect several hundred titles, mostly from the 1940s and ‘50s. They are extremely interesting, and I understand some have become quite collectible. Can you recommend a good price guide? -- Art, St. Charles, Missouri A: The mass-market paperback was introduced by Robert de Graff in 1938 with a special “Pocket Book” edition of “The Good Earth” by Pearl Buck. It was such a success that other titles quickly followed. There are several references, but I especially like the “Collectible Paperback Price Guide,” by Gary Lovisi and published by Krause Books. It features upto-date values for thousands of the most collectible American mass-market paperbacks, each with three grades of condition. It also has more than 1,000 cover
illustrations in full color. This nifty guide explains how to collect, value, buy and sell paperback books with special sections on cover art, key authors, important artists, hot series, pen names, how and what to collect, recommended dealers and book shows. It is $20 and should be a good resource for you and others who enjoy paperbacks. *** Q: I have a radio that I listened to as a child. I am now 76 years old. It is a Philco Model 39-85 with three knobs: One is the off/on switch, the second for tuning and the third for short wave. Could you give me any information about it? -William, Litchfield Park, Arizona A: The model number is a good clue since it indicates that your radio was manufactured in 1939 and is identified as the production model 85. There were 20,050 of this model made with an original price of $52.50. For owners of Philco radios, I recommend an excellent Internet site, philcoradio. com/gallery. Incidentally, the first Philco radio was manufactured in 1928. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring
return mail.

* It was ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus -- who served as a slave to a freedman named Epaphroditos, who was himself a secretary to the infamous Roman emperor Nero -- who made the following observation: “Men are not disturbed by things, but the view they take of things.” (In an interesting side note, upon hearing that quotation, a professor of psychology named Herb Kimmel reportedly responded: “What about things like bullets?”)

* You may think you know what color a polar bear’s fur is, but you’re probably wrong: It’s not white; it’s translucent. The fur appears white because it reflects visible light -- in fact, polar bears are nearly invisible in infrared photography. If you’ve seen a polar bear in a zoo, though, you may have noticed a greenish tinge to its fur; this color comes from algae, which tends to form when the bears are in warm and humid environments to which they’re not accustomed. * You might be surprised to learn that the first drive-in theater in the United States was opened all the way back in 1921, in downtown Comanche, Texas.

GERMS (continued): About 80% of infections are spread by hand. In fact, more germs are spread by shaking hands than by kissing! About half the population washes their hands after sneezing or coughing, and only 17% after shaking hands with strangers. Dining out tonight? Consider the fact that restaurant menus have 100 times more bacteria than a toilet seat, and might be wiped down just once a day, perhaps with a dirty rag. It’s a good idea not to lay your silverware on top of the menu, and you might want to wash your hands after you order. And how about those ketchup bottles? No one knows what the previous person touched before handling the ketchup. If you like a wedge of lemon in your water, bear in mind that 70% of lemons’ exteriors carry disease-causing microbes. Can you identify the most germ-laden object in a hotel room? It’s the TV remote! Carry along a package of disinfectant wipes on your next trip to take care of this. Before loading your fresh produce into the top of your grocery cart, consider that a baby with a dirty diaper may have been sitting there just moments before, or perhaps a package of raw meat. The cart’s handle might be loaded with up to 11 million germs Those antibacterial wipe dispensers found at the front of most stores will help alleviate this problem! Before you lock yourself up at home to avoid germs, remember that a healthy immune system that comes in contact with bad germs in small quantities will recognize them as bad and will fight them off. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are an exceptional way to fight germs.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: SHAMU September 26 has been designated as Shamu the Whale Day, so Tidbits is taking this opportunity to give you the facts on killer whales and Shamu in particular. • In June of 1965, a salmon fisherman was caught in a storm near British Columbia’s Warrior Cove. He cut his net loose and headed for safety. The following morning, he discovered two killer whales trapped in his abandoned net, one male about 21 feet (6.5 m) long, and a young calf. The calf escaped shortly afterward, but the bull was offered for sale at $25,000. When there were no takers at the steep price, the fisherman finally settled for $8,000 cash from the owner of the Seattle Marine Aquarium. The whale was named Namu after a nearby British Columbian community. It took 18 days to make the 400mile (644-kg) trip down to Seattle, with Namu enclosed in a three-sided pen. • Four months later, the Seattle aquarium owner captured a female killer whale in Puget Sound, a 14-foot (4.25 m), 2000 lb. (900-kg) female meant as a companion for Namu. She was named Shamu, meaning “Friend of Namu,” however, she was anything but that. After it became obvious that the two didn’t get along, just two months later, Shamu was sold to San Diego’s Sea World, an attraction that had opened the previous year, 1964. Namu lived just a year in Seattle before drowning after becoming entangled in the cables of his pen. • While at Sea World, Shamu was trained to perform, and was a star for nearly six years until 1971, when she latched on to and refused to release the leg of a female employee who was riding Shamu at a publicity event. The whale’s jaws had to be pried apart with a pole, and Shamu was immediately retired from performances. The orca died four months later of septicemia.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 SHAMU (continued): • After Shamu’s death, Sea World continued to use the name for the subsequent killer whales used in their shows. • September 26, Shamu the Whale Day commemorates that day in 1985, when the first surviving orca was born in captivity. • During the 1960s and 1970, approximately 35 orcas were captured in Puget Sound, with 13 killed during the process. The last whale to be captured was Lolita, caught near Washington’s Whidbey Island in 1970. Her home for the last 46 years has been the Miami Seaquarium, although plans are in the works to return her to her native habitat. • In the wild, an orca can swim at a speed of 28 mph (45 km/hr), although their average pace is about 6 to 8 mph (9.7 to 12.9 km/hr) Their diet varies from fish to seals, sea lions, sharks, rays, octopi, and squid, with some feeding on penguins and sea turtles. The average killer whale consumes about 500 lbs. (226.8 kg) of food a day. • A newborn killer whale weighs between 265 and 350 lbs. (120 to 160 kg), and measures about 8.5 ft. (2.6 m) long. An average male will reach a length of about 22 ft. (6.7 m), and can weigh up to nearly 12,000 lbs. (5,543 kg). The smaller adult females can weigh about 8,200 lbs. (3,719 kg), with a length of 19 feet (5.8 m). The lifespan of an orca is 60 years for males and 90 years for females.

CITY NAME ORIGINS Have you ever wondered where some cities got their name? Check out some of these popular locations with unusual origins. • The Algonquin Indian tribes living in what is now Chicago identified the area near the river as the place where species of wild leeks grew. Chicago translates from their language as “smelly onions.” The French explorer Robert de la Salle was the first to record the name of the region as “Checagou.” • The name of Quebec also has Algonquin origins, from their word kebec, meaning “where the river narrows.” This indicated the area where the St. Lawrence River narrows to a clifflined gap. Another French explorer Samuel de Champlain dubbed the area Quebec in 1608. • The Kansa Indians living in what is now the northeast portion of the state of Kansas named the area along the river Topeka. The native language for Topeka translates the name as “a good place to dig potatoes.” The community that bears the name was established in the mid-1850s. • Palo Alto, California’s name has its roots in the Spanish language, meaning “tall sticks,” representing the nearby giant redwoods, specifically El Palo Alto, a tree growing on the bank of San Francisquito Creek within the city. In 1814, this giant measured 162.2 feet (49.4 m) tall, but is currently only 110 feet (33.5 m). As the water table lowered over the years due to nearby wells, the tree’s roots were unable to reach water, and much of its top died. Its diameter is 90 inches (2.3 m) across. In 1955, the tree was bored to determine its age according to the number of rings. It’s estimated to be more than 1,075 years old today.

PROUDLY MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH AMERICAN MADE STEEL.
By Keith Roach, M. D, Can Treatment Delay ‘Smoldering Myeloma’ DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the smoldering stage, based on a bone marrow biopsy and blood tests. Every three months, my hematologist checks my blood tests and tells me that when I feel bone pain, it will be time to begin chemo. While I am in the smoldering stage, is there anything I can do to prolong the shift to the full-blown stage? I am 79 and otherwise in good health. My only symptoms are some fatigue and lack of energy. -- W.K. ANSWER: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer of blood cells -- the plasma cells, which are responsible for making antibodies. Most, if not all, cases of myeloma have a precursor stage called MGUS, monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance. About 3 percent of all people over 50 have MGUS, and about 1 percent of people with MGUS will develop MM per year. “Smoldering” MM is the diagnosis when the bone marrow biopsy shows evidence of MM, but there are no other signs of MM. Signs of MM include myeloma in the bones (on X-ray or CT, called lytic lesions, since they cause holes in the bones), anemia, high calcium, poor kidney function and high viscosity of the blood, which predisposes a person to strokes. In addition to looking for physical symptoms, your hematologist is searching for any of these findings. In addition, the amount of immunoglobulin in the blood predicts risk for developing overt MM (the higher the immunoglobulin, the higher the risk). A level over 1.5 g/dL puts you at high risk. Although trials are ongoing, there are no generally accepted treatments to prevent progression to MM for people with MGUS or smoldering myeloma. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I had colon cancer nine years ago and had 12 inches of my colon removed. Quite a few times since then, I have lost control of my bowels, or have had a large movement that I couldn’t stop. Last night, I had one in my sleep. This is the first time that has happened. I take Metamucil, which was recommended by my internist, but it doesn’t seem to work. What kind of doctor should I see to help it? -- J.W. ANSWER: Fecal incontinence is a common problem, but one that is so embarrassing for some people that they won’t bring it up with their doctor. It can lead to social isolation, and is the No. 2 cause listed for nursing-home placement. Incontinence has many possible causes and, therefore, many types of treatments. Your internist is probably right about fiber, as it is very helpful in people with liquid stool, but it can make things worse in people with a stricture, such as from radiation, a common cause of incontinence. If you do try fiber, adjust amount so that you are having one or two soft but formed bowel movements daily. Other types of treatments depend on the underlying problem. Biofeedback, medications, surgery and nerve stimulation are all treatments that have been useful in some people. A gastroenterologist, the specialist in this area, or your cancer surgeon would be the right person to start with. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Heeeere’s Carson! I was eating a grilled octopus at Dimitri’s in Philadelphia when I learned that the Eagles had traded Sam Bradford to the Vikings in exchange for a firstround pick in the 2017 NFL draft. All I could do was take a deep breath, because I knew I had to pace myself. The news made a walk across the street to the New Wave, a legendary Philadelphia sports bar, mandatory. I cannot honestly say whether or not Philadelphia has the best sports fans, but I can tell you that they come off like the perfect sports-fan stereotype you often see caricatured in sitcoms and film. In Philadelphia, the mere notion of a casual sports fan is abhorrent. You don’t have to paint your face, but you must own at least one article of officially licensed clothing and you must get to the stadia off of I-95 at minimum once per year or you risk expulsion. To recap, tonight we learned that Sam Bradford, a former top pick in the draft, was traded to Minnesota, elevating the Eagle’s first-round pick from this year, Carson Wentz, to the helm. Wentz, billed as a “smart” mobile quarterback with a cannon arm, put up very impressive numbers at North Dakota State. The Eagles worked very hard to explain this rationale to their fans, and for the most part the strategy seemed to work as most Eagle fans condoned the pick. Well, at least they didn’t boo. Bradford was never really beloved in Philadelphia. Fans appreciated his talent but really disdained his fragility (yeah, and that’s how they talk at the New Wave ... “You know something? I really disdain Bradford’s fragility ... wanna shoot some darts?”). The guy always got hurt. So what do the Eagles do? They elevate a guy that got his ribs cracked open after completing 12 passes and missing three pre-season games to the starting position. He will be playing for rookie head coach Doug Pederson, a guy who brings great bonafides as a former Eagles QB and from his years of coaching the Kansas City Chiefs under former Eagle’s head coach Andy Reid. For good measure, Pederson also brought along former Mizzou QB standout Chase Daniels to back Wentz up. If Pederson thought Missouri was the “Show Me” state, he has to know that Philadelphia brings that mentality to a completely new level. Vegas has them at 100-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, but they are loaded with talent, having signed Darren Sproles at running back and Rodney McLeod for their secondary. They have a great set of tight ends in Brent Celek and Zach Ertz. Still, even with Bradford, this season was considered to be a rebuilding year. What do they have now? A quick survey at the New Wave sets the tone. “All I can say is this, the Eagles just better win ... I’m not into this ‘rebuilding’ (expletive),” says a fan who hails from Pennsauken. “Let’s see what this guy (Wentz) can do.” That about sums it up. Looking for a great storyline (and great meal) to follow this season? On the whole, you’d rather be in Philadelphia. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

Brain Games vs. Dementia
If you don’t yet have a computer or tablet, recent news might persuade you to ask for one for your birthday: brain-training exercises reduce dementia. Researchers at a half-dozen universities collaborated on different cognitive training programs with nearly 3,000 participants starting in 1998. The program, called the Advanced Cognitive Training in Vital Elderly study (ACTIVE), tested reasoning, memory and speed of processing information using one of four methods: memory training, speed of processing information training, reasoning training and none at all. Getting results didn’t take long. Only 10 sessions of training over five weeks were required. Of the above methods, it was only the speed training that delayed the onset of dementia, by a whopping 48 percent over the course of 10 years. Researchers even made it more specific: Each session of training reduced the risk of dementia by 8 percent. Participants experienced improvement in areas of attention, feelings of control, quality of life and even improved driving reaction time because objects off to the side were seen more quickly. The online version of the program they used is called “Double Decision,” and it can be found on brainhq.com if you search for that name. As samples, there are games to play for free. Here’s one example: Identifying fast-moving objects on a screen, including those in peripheral vision, with tasks getting more and more difficult. While it’s tempting to see online brain training as the end-all to delaying dementia, we should not forget that the Federal Trade Commission once fined a maker of brain games for making false claims. On the other hand, funding for this long-term research was made possible by the National Institute on Aging. Suggestion: Go online to those free games at brainhq.com and try a few. Decide for yourself. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

A Vet’s Success Story I’m always impressed by people who do things for themselves. Marine veteran Nick Baucom is one of those people. Not only has he created employment for himself, but he’s built a growing company that provides solid jobs to other veterans. In 2008 Baucom started building a moving company -- Two Marines Moving -- that now has so much business that he’s booked three to four weeks out. He made it to Inc. magazine’s list of fast-growing companies by the time he was 24 years old. A year later, the company hit its first $1 million in revenue. Why are his services so popular? It’s the quality of work that veterans bring to the job, he says. Tenacity and perseverance and getting the job done. Decisiveness, gathering data and moving forward. Initiative, stepping up when you see something that needs to be done. At this point, Two Marines Moving has completed over 20,000 moves and employs 90 veterans, half of whom are Marines.
