A BIG DITCH • In May of 1950, a catastrophic flood of the Red River in Manitoba, Canada, inundated the city of Winnipeg. Over 100,000 people had to be evacuated in the biggest evacuation in Canada’s history at the time. Duff Roblin was Manitoba’s Premier at the time and he decided the city should never again be subjected to such a flood. • His solution was to dig a 29-mile long (47 km) ditch around the city, designed to divert excess water from the Red River in times of flood. The project cost $63 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to approximately $360 million today, and took 7 years to complete. It was the second largest earth-moving construction project in history, next to the building of the Panama Canal. • Duff Roblin’s opponents and constituents ridiculed the project, dubbing it “Duff’s Ditch” and predicting it would never be useful. No sooner had it been completed than it was put into use, saving the city from flooding in 1968. Since then, it’s been used twenty more times, saving Winnipeg from floods over and over again. Experts estimate it’s saved over $100 billion in cumulative flood damage, making it an excellent investment indeed. A BIG WALL • Kotoko Wamura was a child in Japan when a 30-foot (9m) tsunami swept away the town of Fudai. He remembered tales of a 50-foot (15m) tsunami that hit in 1896. So when he was elected mayor of Fudai in the 1960s, he insisted a 50-foot seawall be built to protect the town. People were outraged at the cost and angry that it blocked their view of the sea. Others argued that a 30-foot wall would be tall enough. But Kotoko Wamura held firm, and the seawall was built. He died in 1987 so he didn’t live to see the day in March of 2011 when his 50-foot seawall saved his beloved town.

Pets Help Forge Community Ties
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently graduated from college and took a job in a brand-new city. The area is great, but I feel lonely most of the time and haven’t really met anyone I can hang out with regularly. A colleague at work laughingly suggested that I get a dog. Although it was meant to be a joke, I’m kind of considering it. Should I get a dog, or is it a bad idea to have one in the city? -- Kurt H., Somerville, Massachusetts DEAR KURT: It sounds like a great option. Of course, as a pet-care adviser, I’m a little bit partial to the idea. But I also can tell you that pets not only enrich our lives, but enrich the lives of our neighbors in subtle ways, too. A new study reported in Scientific American found that people with pets are more likely to get to know other people in the neighborhood,
and those relationships have more substance than casual “hellos.” List the pros and cons of owning a pet. Do you have the time to care for and train a dog? Do you have roommates, and are they OK with having a pet in your apartment? What additional costs are involved -food, veterinary care, licensing, training, apartment pet fees and so on? What size and breed of dog is best for your living space? Lifehacker has a very comprehensive guide to considering, deciding and then bringing a dog home. Also, should you decide to get a dog, I hope you’ll consider adopting from a local shelter. Many great dogs are waiting for just the right owner to find them.

• Alfred Wegener was a German scientist born in 1880. His research showed that the rock strata and the fossil record on one edge of a continent matched the rock strata and fossil record on the opposing edge of another continent separated by thousands of miles of ocean. He noticed that the continents seemed to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle: the eastern edge of South America fit into the gap of the western edge of Africa; the coasts of Australia and India matched the coast of Antartctica on so on. • In 1912 he presented his hypothesis that all the continents had once been joined together in a single landmass that had drifted apart. He called the landmass “Urkontinent” which is German for “primal continent,” and coined the term “continental drift.” • Geologists all over the world ridiculed him. How could something as large as a continent move? What would cause the movement? Wegener hypothesized that the centrifugal force of the Earth’s rotation caused it, or astronomical influences, or a rift under the ocean that was spreading apart. His theories were almost universally rejected. He died on a polar expedition in 1930 without gaining recognition for this discovery. • By the 1950s, evidence in favor of continental drift was beginning to accumulate. When sonar technology advanced to the point where the sea floor could be mapped, a big expanding rift was discovered in the Pacific. By the 1960s, the theory of plate tectonics was well developed, “Urkontinent“ was re-named Pangea, and Wegener was vindicated long after his death. • Today, the Alfred Wegener Medal is awarded by the Alfred Wegener Institute to researchers in the field of geoscience each year. With advances in GPS technology, the movement of the continents is now precisely tracked.

Tidbits® Full of Fun, Facts & Trivia! Meat Grinder Q: During the Great Depression, my folks used a meat grinder. It has been in my possession for many years. It is the No. 2 Universal model. I can’t help but wonder if there is any value to this meat grinder/sausage maker. -- Helen, Granite City, Illinois A: During the 1950s, my mother also used a similar contraption that clamped to the kitchen counter. Most of the meat grinders I have seen in shops and at antique malls have been priced in the $50 to $75 range, a little more if it also has the various attachments. *** Q: I have two pocket watches, both made by Elgin. I would like to sell them but have no idea of what they’re worth. -- Betty, via e-mail A: I recommend that you do a little homework before you make a decision. You can access a great deal of information at elginwatches.org. This easy to use website features a database that includes a comprehensive history of the Elgin Company and its products, technical help and additional links that will connect you to established dealers and collectors. You also should check values listed at www.watchpricing. com.
44 Cape Lane, Pt. Pleasant, WV Across from the new Camp Conley Exxon
Remember, values are just a guide and nothing more. For example, if one of your watches is listed at being worth $200 but you can sell it for only $150, the true value is the lower figure, since an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it in cold cash. *** Q: I have an American Button Hole Sewing Machine, model No. 7. I bought it at a public sale several years ago. The machine is intact and still has its original box cover and attachments. I seem to be the only person who owns this particular machine and wonder if you can tell me more about it. -Barbara, Denver, Pennsylvania A: According to Antique American Sewing Machines, a value guide by James W. Slaten, your machine was made between 1867 and 1877 and is valued at about $550. Since my copy of this guide is a number of years, I suspect it might be worth slightly more.

That wasn’t the only attempt, however; a group of citizens in northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee wanted to band together and form a new state that would be allied with the Union. Unfortunately for this pro-Unionist faction, plans for the would-be state of Nickajack never came to fruition.

He focused on working with lead, a heavy metal that is toxic when inhaled or ingested. • When uranium decays, it turns into lead. The half-life of uranium is over 4 billion years, so by measuring the decay of uranium/lead, scientist can estimate the age of minerals in the same sort of way carbon dating is used to measure the age of organic material. In 1956, Patterson was the first person to use uranium-lead dating to estimate the age of the Earth at 4.55 billion years, a figure that is still considered accurate. • The focus of Patterson’s career was tracking the geo-chemical evolution of the Earth. While measuring the chemicals in ice core samples taken from Greenland, he noted an alarming increase in the amount of lead that coincided with the date in the 1920s that gasoline companies began adding lead to gas in order to stop engines from knocking. When he compared the lead content of skeletons of people buried in the 1600s (none) to the amount of lead in the skeletons of people who had died recently (high), he became alarmed. He proved that after lead was added to gasoline, the amount of lead being deposited in the environment was 80 times greater than it had been previously. • In 1965, Patterson began a concerted effort to have lead removed from gasoline. Gasoline companies fought back hard. He was ridiculed and his research was disparaged. But his efforts paid off: lead was phased out of American gas products by 1986. • Patterson then led the charge to have lead removed from tin cans, and it was subsequently also removed from paint. • By the time Patterson died in 1995, the level of lead in the blood of Americans had dropped by 80%.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Are Dermatologists ‘Zapping’ for Dollars? DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 73 years old and lived on a boat in my 40s. Now, whenever I go to the dermatologist (two to three times each year), he “zaps” me about 20 times and burns off “cancer cells” or maybe “potential cancer cells.” Some of them have been cancer and were healed with MOHS procedure. While I am grateful for the care he gives me, I also sometimes feel that he zaps because each zap means more money. Can you please clarify this for me? -- G.B. ANSWER: I often get questions like this, where a patient has a concern that their doctor is performing unnecessary medical care for the purpose of enriching himself or herself. I always have trouble believing it, since I can’t really imagine it, but I recently read about an oncologist pleading guilty to treating with chemotherapy people who didn’t really have cancer, which shakes my faith in my profession (and colleagues). Still, I truly believe that, in your case and probably more than 99 percent of the time, the doctor is being extra cautious to treat you for the sole purpose of reducing your likelihood of developing an invasive skin cancer later on. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother lives in Florida. Her major discomfort is fatigue and no energy. I have asked her doctor to please give her a vitamin B-12 injection, even though her B-12, thyroid function, vitamin D and blood count are all in the normal range. Her doctor does not believe in B-12 injections. Do you think it might help? -- J.L. ANSWER: Vitamin B-12 is necessary for proper function in many tissues, but it is critical for blood cell production and neurologic function. B-12 deficiency causes an unmistakable anemia (called megaloblastic anemia) and can cause neurologic and psychiatric disturbances even in some people with no anemia. The blood test for B-12 is quite reliable. The major cause of B-12 deficiency is an autoimmune disease that prevents the stomach from making intrinsic factor, which is necessary for efficient absorption of B-12. B-12 can be absorbed orally by people with pernicious anemia by taking very high doses, such as 1 mg. This gives as good a replacement as injection. It was common 50 years ago to give B-12 injections as a “tonic.” However, it offers no advantages for people with normal B-12 levels beyond the placebo response. As I have noted many times, the placebo response can be very powerful, and 1 mg of B-12 orally is very safe. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have heard that drinking water with your meal is bad for you. Is this true? And if so, why? I have a dry mouth due to cancer treatment and must have water with everything I eat. Is something bad going to happen to me? I am otherwise healthy. -- R.G. ANSWER: It’s not true at all. Water is, generally speaking, the healthiest drink. It is possible to drink too much water, but it’s very hard to do so unless you are taking medications that affect your kidneys or you have excess anti-diuretic hormone, an unusual medical condition. Keep drinking your water. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

* On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” are first published, in The Boston Morning Post. Meant as an abbreviation for “oll korrect,” a popular slang misspelling of “all correct,” its popularity exploded when it was picked up by politicians. * On March 21, 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley begins his search through Africa for missing British explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who had been gone for six years. Reaching Lake Tanganyika, Stanley spotted a white man in the crowd and famously asked, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” * On March 25, 1933, President Herbert Hoover accepts the newly commissioned USS Sequoia as the official presidential yacht. The Sequoia would go on to serve eight U.S. presidents. Previously, the Department of Commerce had used it as a decoy to catch Prohibition lawbreakers. * On March 22, 1947, in response to fears about communism in the United States, President Harry Truman issues an executive decree establishing a sweeping loyalty investigation of federal employees. Loyalty boards were to be set up in every department and agency of the federal government. * On March 24, 1955, Tennessee Williams’ play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” opens in New York. The play would win Williams his second Pulitzer Prize, following “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1947.

* On March 26, 1987, responding to a 911 call, police raid the Philadelphia home of Gary Heidnik and find a veritable torture chamber where three women were chained to a sewer pipe. Heidnik helped inspire the Buffalo Bill character in Thomas Harris’ “Silence of the Lambs.” * On March 20, 1995, several packages of deadly sarin gas are set off by the Aum Shinrikyo cult in the Tokyo subway system, killing 12 people and injuring over 5,000. Sarin originally was developed in 1938 in Germany as a pesticide. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Welcome to the Rock It really made no sense at all. How could one of the greatest left fielders of all-time, one of the great base stealers in history (first all-time in efficiency, fifth all-time base stealer) and a seven-time All-Star be ignored for two decades by the powers that be, those baseball writers who hold the keys to Cooperstown. But there it was before me in the paper that mid-January morning ... Raines had finally been elected and I, who have written about Raines’ merits ad nauseam in this column, was set free. The fact that the Baseball Writers’ Association of America also took two of my other pro bono cases in Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez made things only that much sweeter. Then I had another question: What took them so long? Bagwell and Rodriguez were painted with the steroid scandal tar brush, and that was the sole reason why they had to wait for induction. Apparently, the unwritten rule for the BBWAA is that admitted or indicted steroid abusers (Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro, for instance) are to be banned; those who are suspected or gossiped about will have to wait a ballot or two to think about their sins in what is baseball’s version of purgatory. Now they are spotless, enshrined forever in upstate New York. Raines, for historical reasons, will more than likely be remembered for two things: cocaine and collusion. The standout, superstar highschool athlete out of Sanford, Florida, flush with money for the first time in his life, decided to spend it on drugs ... cocaine, specifically. During the infamous Pittsburgh drug trials in 1985, Raines copped to the fact that he played many games high on coke, did coke in the clubhouse during games and even developed his head-first slide in order to protect the eight ball he had in his back pocket. The next year, he won the batting title, only the third switch hitter in history to do so. He led the league in on-base percentage (.413) and times on base (274). After that season, he was a free agent. The only clubs that showed any interest were ... none of them. Instead of the sound of ch-ching, he got the sleepy melody of crickets. Why? Because the owners of the league colluded together in order to keep salaries down. Raines was re-signed to the Expos, missing out on the lucrative New York Yankee contract everyone thought he had coming his way. Can you imagine that? An outfield consisting of Tim Raines, Rickey Henderson and Dave Winfield? With Billy Martin managing Raines and Henderson to boot? That would have been a sight to see. But Raines will be best remembered for being one of the premier players of not only his era, but all-time. Bill James ranks him as the 40th greatest position player of all-time. The record books remember him, too. He’s remembered for having an uncanny knack to win ballgames with grand slams and triples. One also could point to his victory over drugs and the sportsmanlike conduct he displayed during his career. Tim Raines, the “Rock” before they’re was a “Rock,” welcome to the Hall of Fame. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Instead of Drugs, Try Changing Diet Several hospital systems in California are aiming to try food instead of drugs in a lot of cases to bring about good health. They’re doing it in a very hands-on way: Doctors or nutritionists visit local grocery stores and give tours, answering questions about healthy food and giving away samples. Also onsite are free blood-pressure checks, while medical staff point out the correlation between high blood pressure and salty foods. They call the program Shop with Your Doc. If you’re not in California, there are still things you can do. Take a good look at your diet for foods you can eliminate or swap. Veggies and berries are healthy in multiple ways (try frozen berries in a morning smoothie), and so are whole grains like brown rice, pasta and whole-wheat bread. Did you know the oil in avocados can help lower cholesterol? Carrots have beta kerotene for our eyes. Try a whopper of a protein punch with beans and rice mixed together. (Search online for “beans in diet for longevity” and you’ll see that those areas of the world with the longest lifespans tend to have beans in their diet as a staple. Then see the MayoClinic.org website and search for “Beans and other legumes: Cooking tips” for lots of ideas.) The next time your doctor hands you a prescription slip to treat a condition, ask him if there is anything you can do with your diet that would eliminate the need for the drug. You might start by asking if he attends the annual Food as Medicine Symposium. If he says yes, he’ll know just what you’re talking about when you wonder about substituting food for drugs. If not, you’ll have an opportunity to tell him about it. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

David S. McCoy Insurance Agency Adaptive Sports for Disabled Vets Disabled veterans will get a chance again this year to compete in adaptive sports across the country. The Department of Veterans Affairs is taking applications for $8 million grants that will support programs for disabled veterans and members of the Armed Forces. Last year, grants helped fund 90 different programs, including coaching and technical assistance, recreation therapists, equipment, supplies and programs on the local level, as well as advanced adaptive sports and Paralympic programs at the regional and national levels. Grant applicants are expected to be colleges, parks and rec departments, Paralympic sports clubs and organizations, nonprofits, Veterans Service Organizations and more. For disabled athletes who want to train and compete, this is a huge program. See www. va.gov/adaptivesports for more information. Click on Paralympic Sport Club Finder to locate ones in your area, or go to www.teamusa.org for full listings. Depending on where you live, you can join adaptive skiing, para-athlete triathlons, sports for visually impaired, snow-shoeing, cycling, wheelchair basketball, archery, fly fishing, kayaking, disc golf, biathalon, tennis and many more. Specific adaptive events during the year include: * Valor Games -- open to veterans with a VA disability rating for PTSD, amputation, traumatic brain injury and more. * Golden Age games -- open to veterans age 55 or older who get health care at the VA. * Summer Sports Clinic, Sept. 17-22 in San Diego -- take part in surfing, track and field, sailing, hand and tandem cycling. For those who were recently injured, daily therapy is part of the program. * TEE Tournament, Sept. 11-15 in Iowa City, Iowa -- develop skills in adaptive golf and bowling. If you’re disabled and think you won’t get anything out of the sports programs, go online to www.va.gov/adaptivesports. Check out some of the videos of veterans in the programs. You might change your mind. (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
