TIDBITS® BRINGS YOU INFO ON HERBS AND SPICES

by Kathy Wolfe What’s in your cupboard? This week, Tidbits takes a look at the culinary and medicinal uses of the herbs and spices found in nearly everyone’s home.

• The Egyptians were studying the use of herbs as far back as 3500 B.C., using them for medicine and in their religious rituals.

Today, about 7,000 compounds used in medicine originate from plants. About 200 million pounds (90,718,474 kg) of herbs and spices are consumed in the U.S. annually. The most common are black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, paprika, chili powder, oregano, celery seed, and parsley.

• There’s a difference between herbs and spices.

Generally, herbs are the leaves of a plant, while spices are taken from the roots, bark, or seeds. This means rosemary, thyme, and mint are herbs, and cinnamon, paprika, coriander, and nutmeg are spices.

• Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice and has been used in trade for more than 4,000 years. It comes from the dried threads of the saffron crocus plant, which grows to a height of 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm) and bears only four flowers. One pound (450 g) of dry saffron requires 50,000 to 75,000 flowers, with 40 hours of labor needed to pick 150,000 flowers. Retail prices for saffron can spike as high as $5,000 per pound. Some medical studies suggest that this spice has antioxidant and cancer-suppressing properties and might also be helpful in treating depression.

In the kitchen, it’s used in Indian and Pakistani sweet dishes and Italian risotto. It’s also used in religious rituals in India.

• Vanilla is second most expensive spice after saffron. It’s no wonder vanilla is an expensive commodity when you consider the labor required to process it. It comes from the pod of the only fruit-bearing orchid plant, with a waiting period of three years after being planted before the first flowers appear. The flower opens only one day a year, and each one is hand-pollinated in order to produce a pod. Those pods remain on the vine for another nine months and when harvested, have no flavor or fragrance. Those qualities develop during the extensive curing process, when the pods are treated with hot water before being placed in the sun for months.

During this time, they shrink to about onefifth of their original size. It’s another month or two of “resting” before the pods develop their distinctive aroma and taste.

• Vanilla takes its name from the Spanish word Vaina, which translates “little pod.” Vanilla extract is made by finely chopping the beans and dripping alcohol on the pieces.

Guns • Silencers Ammo & Accessories Owners Kelsey & Tessie Henry Too Many Pets?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Is it possible to have too many pets? My neighbor’s two children were proudly showing off their numerous house pets during their first-communion party a few days ago. They have four budgies, two rabbits, a cat, a dog and an iguana! Isn’t this a bit much for two young children to handle? -- Concerned Next Door DEAR CONCERNED: If the pets all appeared to be well-cared for, then it’s probably not a problem.

And without knowing anything about the situation, I’m willing to bet that the iguana is cared for by the parents, since their care and feeding is pretty tricky.

With caged pets -- like birds, rabbits and lizards -- it’s usually pretty simple to tell whether they’re receiving good care. If their cages are really dirty (piles of waste, very smelly sawdust bedding) and if there isn’t clean water available, then there

is likely a problem. With other pets, behavior and living area can be signs. Was the dog badly behaved, or was it well-socialized, or kept in a quiet room to stay calm during the party? Did you notice or smell an overflowing litter box?

If none of these signs were apparent, then the family is probably taking pretty good care of all their pets. The fact that the kids proudly showed off their pets to party guests is a good sign.

With younger kids, parents’ involvement in keeping, caring for and training pets is important.

Parents have the opportunity to teach children not just responsibility, but awareness of and compassion for other living creatures. In the case of your neighbors, if the pets appear to be cared for, then I’d say the parents are doing their jobs, and you have no more cause for conern.

Welcome to Goose Tips!

Vacation season is fast approaching for many of you......Dining out while on vacation should not be a budget buster. Three meals a day can add up quickly for families on vacation and you shouldn’t have to eat fast food for every meal to afford to go out. What can you do to save money? Here are my best tips to cut down on the cost of dining out.

When planning your much needed vacation, take the time to investigate what type of restaurants are near your destination. Be sure to sign up at the restaurants’ sites to receive savings offers and coupons thru email: Prior to departing, check your email for coupons and print them. While you are at the computer, be sure to print directions from your hotel to the restaurant.

Be sure to use credit card rewards or MyPoints to offset dining out.

Scout out your hotel for discounted dining coupons.

Many times hotels will have coupons and discounts for nearby restaurants. A good place to look is in the entry way where all of the local attractions have their brochures.

Restaurant.com is a great place to pick up dining discounts to use while on vacation.

Take a few minutes to visit the www.restaurant. com site and type in the zip code or search for the city you will be visiting.

Thanks to YOU we are celebrating 5 years, now serving beer and wine, Wild Game Every Friday....The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t!

• On June 22, 1611, after spending a winter trapped by ice in present-day Hudson Bay in Canada, the starving crew of the Discovery mutinies against its captain, English navigator Henry Hudson, and sets him, his teenage son, and seven supporters adrift in a small, open boat. Hudson and the others were never seen again.

• On June 20, 1782, Congress adopts the Great Seal of the United States. The front of the seal depicts a bald eagle clutching an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left. The eagle’s beak clutches a banner inscribed, E pluribus unum, a Latin phrase meaning “Out of Many One.” • On June 17, 1885, The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States, arrives in New York City in more than 200 packing cases. The last rivet of the disassembled monument was fitted on Oct. 28, 1886.

• On June 19, 1917, during World War I, Britain’s King George V orders the British royal family to dispense with the use of German titles and surnames due to strong antiGerman feeling within Britain. He changed the surname of his own family from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, to Windsor.

• On June 21, 1947, after an interim of seven years during World War II, the first post-war Mille Miglia (“Thousand Miles”) auto race is held in Brescia, Italy with 155 starters. The race on public roads had been delayed two years as Italy’s infrastructure had to be rebuilt.

• On June 16, 1961, President John F. Kennedy agrees to send 900 U.S. troops to train and supervise Vietnamese troops in combat. The number of U.S. personnel rose to 3,200 by the end of 1962 and 16,000 by the time of President Kennedy’s assassination in November 1963.

• On June 18, 1983, the space shuttle Challenger is launched on its second mission. Aboard the shuttle was Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman to travel into space. During the six-day mission, Ride, an astrophysicist from Stanford University, operated the shuttle’s robot arm, which she had helped design.

HERBS AND SPICES (continued): • Nutmeg is harvested from the seeds of the fruit of the large evergreen nutmeg tree, native to the West Indies. This tree grows to a height of about 60 feet (18.3 m), and yields both nutmeg and mace. The seeds are grated to produce nutmeg, while mace comes from the lacy threads that surround the seed.

Nutmeg may spice up your desserts, but its medicinal uses are many. Ancient Chinese medicine called for using its oil for digestive ailments, relieving inflammation, and reducing joint pain. Nutmeg is a good source of Vitamin C, many B-complex vitamins, copper, potassium, calcium, iron, and zinc.

Some claim it promotes a restful night’s sleep when steamed and inhaled. Nutmeg contains the same essential oil as cloves, eugenol, that can be used for toothache relief.

• Sweet aromatic cloves are used in baking and flavoring meats such as ham and lamb, as well as serving as an anesthetic for a toothache.

Eugenol oil can also reduce blood sugar in diabetics and help relieve indigestion.

Naturopaths claim that rubbing a mixture of oil of cloves and mustard into aching joints and muscles will reduce pain. Some people say that drinking water in which a few cloves have been boiled will help relieve a cough.

• Cinnamon, one of the oldest known spices, comes from the bark of a cinnamon tree, bark that must be processed immediately after harvesting, while it is still wet. Cinnamon was a gift fit for a king in ancient times, and in Rome, a pound of the spice was worth ten months’ wages. It’s been shown to help with indigestion and upset stomach. Diabetics will be happy to know that cinnamon seems to contribute to reduced blood glucose levels and increased insulin production.

Some studies indicate that it promotes lower cholesterol and relief of arthritis pain.

• Collective nouns are fascinating, especially when one kind of animal has multiple ones that can be used. Take ducks, for instance: A group of them can be called a flock, a badling, a brace, a plump, a sord or a waddling. If you see them on water you can call them a bunch, a paddling or a raft; and a group of ducks flying together is known variously as a skein, a string or a team.

Thought for the Day: “Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.” -- Truman Capote

Page 5

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 HERBS AND SPICES (continued): • The Scoville scale was developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912 to measure the hotness of a food item. A food’s number is based on its concentration of the alkaloid compound capsaicin, which is what gives a strong pungent flavor. The hotness of cayenne pepper measures about 50,000 Scoville Heat Units. (Compare this to the Carolina Reaper pepper which averages 1,569,300 SHU’s!)

Cayenne comes from a small shrub about 39 inches (100 cm) tall, and is considered the best source of Vitamin A of all spices, as well as being rich in anti-oxidants. Studies indicate that capsaicin has anti-carcinogenic and anti-diabetic properties. Cayenne has been successful in treating arthritis, sore muscles, and digestive ailments, as well as improving blood circulation.

• We usually think of oregano as an herb to flavor our tomato sauces and Italian dishes. That is the Mediterranean species of oregano, which is a member of the mint family. It grows in Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and Morocco, and has a strong, robust flavor. However, there is another completely different variety, Mexican oregano, a relative of lemon verbena, which has more of a citrusy licorice taste. The USDA tells us that one tablespoon of fresh oregano has just as much antioxidant properties as an apple.

• If you’re cooking Mexican food, coriander, cumin, and cilantro are essential. Coriander actually comes from the seeds of the cilantro plant. While fresh cilantro will offer a bolder flavor, coriander adds more of a subtle taste.

• When the dried fruit of the sweet red pepper Capsicum annuum is ground, the result is a red powder we know as paprika. We use it to season stews, soups, and sausages, particularly in Hungarian foods. It’s grown mainly in Spain, South America, California, and, of course, Hungary.

• Why doesn’t our list include salt? Because salt is a mineral, not an herb or spice!

FAMOUS CANADIANS: PETER JENNINGS • Peter Jennings was one of the most trusted and respected news anchors in the history of television news. As the son of a noted Canadian Broadcasting Company journalist, Peter got his start in broadcasting at age 9, hosting his own radio program, “Peter’s People,” on a Toronto station.

• Although a gifted broadcaster, Jennings was not a gifted student. He admitted that his failure to pass 10th grade was due to “pure boredom.” In an interview he remarked, “I loved girls, I loved comic books. I was pretty lazy.” He dropped out at age 17, and although he tried to attend Carleton University a few years later, in his words, he “lasted about 10 minutes.”

• Jennings was anxious to follow his father into broadcasting, but took a job as a bank teller at the Royal Bank of Canada. He got a break in his early 20s when he landed a job hosting a Canadian music program called “Club Thirteen,” followed by a teen dance show similar to “American Bandstand” called “Saturday Date.”

Answer on Page 8

• At age 24, Jennings was given the co-anchor position of a Canadian late-night national news broadcast, ironically, in competition with his father’s network. At 25, he was the first Canadian journalist to arrive in Dallas after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

After two years as anchor, he moved to the States for a position with ABC News. The following year, he was the anchor opposite the time slots of news greats, CBS’s Walter Cronkite and NBC’s David Brinkley.

• Jennings was present at nearly every historic event during his tenure, including not only the building of the Berlin Wall in the 1960s, but also its fall in 1989. He was one of the first journalists to report from Vietnam, and was on hand at the 1972 Munich Olympics when terrorists attacked Israeli athletes. We heard about the space shuttle Challenger disaster and the Gulf War from Jennings. During the September 11th attacks in 2001, Jennings was at his anchor desk for 17 straight hours.

After the tragedy, claiming a “deeper sense of connection to the United States,” he began studying for the citizenship test, and in 2003, he obtained dual citizenship, U.S. and Canadian.

• Jennings took on a new challenge two years later when he shifted to a job as a foreign correspondent. He set up ABC’s news bureau in Beirut, the first TV news bureau in the Middle East, where he remained for 7 years.

After similar positions in Rome and London, he came back to the U.S. to co-anchor World News Tonight, where we saw his face for the next 27 years. At one time, 14 million people watched Jennings every night. His awards included 16 Emmys and two George Foster Peabody awards.

In keeping with our theme of spices, Tidbits now zeroes in on the culinary and medicinal benefits of garlic.

• Garlic, or Allium sativum, is a member of the onion genus, along with shallots, leeks, and chives. A full-grown garlic plant is about 24 inches (60 cm) tall and yields between 8 and 20 bulbs. It’s one of the oldest cultivated food plants, and its use dates back over 7,000 years. Pictures of garlic have been found on ancient Egyptian tombs and the Greek physician Hippocrates promoted its therapeutic benefits for respiratory and digestion problems, low energy, and eliminating parasites. Olympic athletes in ancient Greece were fed garlic, probably to enhance their performance.

• The list of the health benefits of garlic goes on and on. Research has shown the cardiovascular benefits of garlic, as well as a reduction in cholesterol levels. It seems to help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent complications of diabetes. It has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, and was used as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene during World Wars I and II. In a study conducted by China’s Center for Disease Control, people who ate raw garlic twice a week had a 44% lower risk of developing lung cancer. Some naturopaths advocate its use for the prevention of prostate, breast, stomach, and colon cancers.

• Of course, the downside of ingesting large quantities of garlic is halitosis – bad breath!

– as well as sweat that has a pungent smell.

This is cause by Allyl Methyl Sulfide, a sulfurcontaining gas that is released when you eat garlic.

Even its name translates to “clove leek.” They serve all things garlic, including beer, ice cream, and cheesecake. In the U.S., San Francisco boasts “The Stinking Rose,” a restaurant where every menu item features garlic. No wonder their marketing slogan is “Follow your nose to the Stinking Rose.”

• Garlic isn’t just for seasoning and medicinal benefits. Even the sticky juice found within the bulb cloves is useful as an adhesive in mending glass and porcelain.

• If you don’t have fresh garlic for your recipes, garlic powder can be used, although it does have a different taste. If you do substitute the powder for the fresh, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder is the equivalent of one clove of fresh garlic.

• Much of the U.S.’s garlic supply is produced in and around Gilroy, California, which has been dubbed “Garlic Capital of the world.” A single farm in the area produces nearly 25 million pounds (11,340,000 kg) annually. Every July, this community of 50,000 hosts the Gilroy Garlic Festival, a celebration that has raised almost $9 million for assorted local charities since its founding in 1979.

• Although Gilroy calls itself the garlic capital, it’s nowhere near the world’s top producer.

Over 77% of the world’s garlic is grown in China, about 23 billion pounds (10.4 billion kg) worth. India is a distant second with 4.1%, followed by South Korea at 2%. The U.S. produces just 1.6% of the world’s garlic, with some grown in every state except Alaska.

Q: During the 1950s, one of my first jobs was working at a Texaco service station in a suburb of San Antonio. I began collecting such things as oil cans, signage, maps and premiums. I have several boxes of these items in storage, and I wonder what they might be worth. -- Steve, West Memphis, Ark. A: One of the better references for this field of collecting is “Warman’s Gas Station Collectibles: Identification and Price Guide” by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books. There are current prices for such items as cans, bottles, signs, globes and even gas pumps. Incidentally, many of the gas pumps from the 1930s and ‘40s have become extremely popular with collectors, and some sell for well above $1,000.

Prices listed in this guide include a Veltex glass globe, $1,300; a Shell oil rack, $375; a quart can of Texaco 574 oil, $60; a toy Texaco truck by Buddy L, $100-plus, and two highway maps, one dated 1924, $80 for the pair.

Q: While cleaning out my mom’s house, I found a shoebox full of valentines from the 1930s and ‘40s. She was a schoolteacher, and they appear to be ones that were given to her by her former students. Are they worth keeping? -- Stella, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Some valentines are extremely collectible. For example, ones that feature Disney or cartoon characters, movie themes, Black Americana or unique designs are especially desirable. There are even some political ones, such as a 1937 example with the likeness of Franklin Roosevelt, which would probably retail for about $95.

New VA Health Program Draws Praise from Vets

The spotlight on delayed medical care at a number of Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers has overshadowed some recent good news about the VA’s PACT program, its method of providing personalized primary care.

PACT (Patient Aligned Care Teams) was started in 2010 as a team approach to the wellness of individual veterans by using health plans with care provided at clinics and online via eHealth.

Teams are made up of nurse care managers, clinical associates, providers and administrative associates, in tandem with nutritionists, social workers and pharmacists. Appointments with specialists are easily arranged.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it ... individualized medical attention. The veterans who receive these services like it, too, according to a VA news release. Here are some of the stats: • Using secure electronics such as telehealth video conferencing, email messaging, home-based monitoring, phone calls and group meetings, the number of interactions with veterans increased 50 percent.

• Of veterans asking for a same-day appointment with their personal provider, 65 percent got it.

Of those who asked for a specific appointment date, 78 percent were accommodated. In the past year, care during non-business hours increased 75 percent.

• More than 70 percent of veterans who are discharged from the hospital are contacted within two days to make sure they understand their instructions and to see how they’re doing.

• Mental-health care services, also a component of PACT, increased 18 percent.

• As a result of PACT, there’s been a 33 percent decrease in the number of veterans needing urgent care, and hospital admissions decreased 12 percent for acute conditions.

The bottom line? In a PACT satisfaction survey, over 90 percent of veterans had positive assessments of both inpatient and outpatient care.

A home freezer can be a good bargain over the long term, but buying a freezer also can be a major expense. Here are some things to consider in deciding whether having a freezer is the right move for you.

Capacity: How much do you need? The rule of thumb is to multiply the number of family members by 1.5 cubic feet, adding more to the calculation if you’ll be adding large quantities of meat from hunting or bulk buys, or if you’ll be freezing vegetables from a large garden.

Energy Use: Read the EnergyStar rating labels to determine how much energy the freezer will use, and multiply by the kilowatt hour cost (you’ll find that on your electric bill) to determine your costs to run the freezer.

Upright vs. Chest: Consider the pros and cons for both.

Upright freezers are shaped like a refrigerator and therefore take up less floor space. Since they open from the front, it’s easier to find what you want, but bulky items can be hard to store. Uprights usually cost a bit more than the chest style, but most are self-defrosting. When you open the door of an upright freezer, your cold air spills out onto the floor, which adds to your energy cost.

Chest freezers are more energy efficient because the cold air doesn’t escape when you open the top.

Most are manual defrost, which saves energy, but can be an unwanted chore. It can be difficult to find items that are at the bottom.

Options: Here are some you’ll want to consider: •A lock with key for safety around children • Self-defrost • Magnetic door seal • Interior light • A defrost drain for manual defrost • Adjustable temperature control • Warranty and on-site service Don’t buy more freezer than you need -- due to the operating costs. Freezers work best if filled most of the way. With a too-big freezer, you’ll pay extra for the freezer and then again every month when your electric bill comes due.

A freezer can be a money saver if it means fewer trips to the store -- less gas, less impulse buying -- or that you won’t eat out as often. But consider your actual usage to determine if it will be worth your while to own one.

How Old Is Too Old for Colonoscopy?

Hickory Smoked Real Pit Barbecue

Ask About Our Catering

Call 245-9000

100 ST RT 325, RIO GRANDE, OHIO OPEN MONDAY thru SATURDAY 10:30 to 7:00

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 75-plus-yearold female in excellent health. My doctor’s comment on my most recent annual physical results was: “Great results on all tests. Excellent report.” My question: Is it necessary to have another colonoscopy at my age and with my good health?

My mother died of colon/rectal cancer at age 85 in 2002, and all family members were advised to have this procedure. My initial results were two or three polyps removed that were not the type that would recur and were not cancerous. The recommended follow-up was five years. That exam showed no polyps and no recommendation for future follow-up.

My previous doctor has retired, and I just received a letter from his replacement that I am due for another procedure. I am not inclined to do this at my age, and considering the “all clear” reports of the previous exams and my general good health. I would appreciate your thoughts and recommendation. -- B.J.M. ANSWER: The odds are low that the colonoscopy would find something there, but there is still a small chance, especially with your mother having had colon cancer. Not having it is reasonable. But since you seem to be otherwise healthy and can expect a longer life than average, I would still say to get it. In fact, I would encourage you to have it.

The booklet on colon cancer provides useful information on the causes and cures of this common malady. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 505W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address.

Please allow four weeks for delivery.

ANSWER: I would be very slow to recommend surgery on the neck at age 92. I would try other treatments, including medication, physical therapy and possibly injection, before considering surgery.

Balance problems may benefit from problem-specific exercises. A neurologist may be very helpful in evaluating whether the symptoms are indeed coming from the spinal stenosis, because balance problems can have many different causes.

If symptoms were intolerable despite everything that could be done short of surgery, I would find the most experienced surgeon around, which could be either a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been reading your articles regarding gout and blood pressure medications. I suffer from pseudogout and take Diovan/HCTZ. Would changing this medication have any effect on my condition? -- E.S. ANSWER: Pseudogout (literally, “false gout”) looks a lot like gout, and both diseases are caused by deposition of crystals inside joints. In gout the crystal is uric acid, whereas in pseudogout, the crystal is calcium pyrophosphate. Pseudogout tends to affect larger joints, such as the knees, whereas the big toe is the classic place for gout.

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), a common diuretic, can make gout worse, but should have no effect on pseudogout.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu.

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS

A: Carpets retain moisture, so it could be a major contributor to the mildew smell, even if it’s an “indoor/outdoor” type carpet that dries quickly.

But another important question is why so much moisture is getting into the enclosed porch area, and why it isn’t drying out quickly enough to prevent mildew.

Unseen damage and deterioration are usually the biggest culprits in moisture problems anywhere within a home. You need to look from top to bottom for possible trouble spots. If the porch has an overhanging roof, look for damaged shingles or whether the overhang has pulled slightly away from the walls. Check windows for cracks and the frames for damaged or warping.

Look for water stains below window frames and at any potential entry points, such as doors, roof eaves and wall corners.

Outside, check the gutter system. Make sure rain gutters are in good repair and note where downspouts are placed and how far from the house they extend. Downspouts that drain next to the foundation can cause all sorts of moisture problems. Extending them is an inexpensive solution.

Now it’s time to look underneath that carpet. Wear a filter mask to protect yourself from mold spores, and carefully pull back a corner of the carpet.

Underneath, you may find plastic sheeting, an inexpensive moisture prevention method for front porches. The sheeting keeps water from damaging the porch floor, and weather-resistant carpet provides traction. It’s not an optimal solution, but the alternative involves replacing the flooring and improving the underlayment, and that can be expensive.

Lift up that plastic sheeting as well, drawing both carpet and plastic back a foot or so, and check the floorboards. If they appear to be in good condition, that’s a good start.

You also need to check underneath the porch to see what the flooring looks like from there. This may be tricky, depending on how your house is built. If the porch extends separately from the foundation, you (or a contractor) can likely shimmy into or shine a flashlight into the crawlspace to check the underside of the floorboards and the joists, and look and smell for mold. If the foundation extends under the porch, access the crawlspace or basement and check under the porch for potential water entry spots.

Once you’ve located potential moisture trouble spots, work with a contractor to resolve these problems. Be sure to get estimates from more than one contractor before agreeing to any work. The faster you address the problem, the less expensive it may be to fix.

HOME TIP: Houseplants aren’t just pretty ornamentation in a home: They also help control humidity, improving indoor air quality.

New Gadgets Designed With Seniors in Mind

Finally, manufacturers and retailers are paying attention to seniors! More and more of them are creating gadgets that will help us with small tasks every day. Here are a few I found online: • Is it getting harder to put the key in your front door lock because the key is just too small to hold? AgingCare.com has a gizmo that makes using keys so much easier. The Easy Key Turner is a plastic key holder that more than doubles the size of the end of the key.

• The same thought has gone into the Lamp Switch Turner, available on the site above.

Instead of a small round switch, this little device is in the shape of a bigger triangle, much easier to grip when you want to turn on a lamp.

• Wish your cane didn’t look so blah, so like everyone else’s? Cane Expressions has a beautiful variety of removable, decorative cane covers. Choose from shimmery or beaded fabrics. Coordinate outfits with denim, red hearts, camo, purple, polka dots, zebra or any number of other prints and colors. Go online to www.caneexpressions.com to see its selection, or call 310-387-4909. All are made in the USA. • If the letters on your caller ID are getting smaller all the time, consider a talking caller ID. No more squinting at tiny letters. The machine will announce the number that’s calling. Consider this option the next time you shop for a phone.

•If you’re still driving, look for a steeringwheel knob. It clamps on the steering wheel and gives a larger surface to hold.

To find more gadgets, go online and search for “seniors daily living aids.” Look for doorknob levers, jar and bottle openers, Neo Bird writing pens (easy to grip) and talking watches.
