What a day! It was thebirthday of a long timefriend, a singing friend,a gal who has learned

the joys of living and looks forward tomany more good years.

Remember Cheers song: where every-body knows your name? Well, that’skind of the way it was when 18 friendscame to feast at an Ormond Restaurantand celebrate. The affair was arrangedby Sue, a dear friend of the honoree.Everyone there was a friend of manyyears, all musically inclined. Could thatbe why the party went on for three hourswith no complaints from the restau-rant staff and managers?

The birthday girl was heard to day,“I only admit to 28, for when I tell myreal age, I will have to start acting it.”

Mary Ellen hurried from a weeklyevent to be with the honoree… cam-era in hand. She is so great at loggingevents and being there for friends.

Two Firecrackers, Char and Fran,rushed in to celebrate before their re-hearsal. They added so much. Fran wassinging with Famous Beach Choruswhen they accepted the honoree intothe Chapter umpteen years ago.

Each attendee has a long history as asongbird. Their tales of auditioning ledto so many stories never heard before.The most humorous were from Joyceand Dr. Val. Joyce said: “Get out yourhankies. It’s a sad tale.”

Everyone reached for a napkin. Thesad story was that this terrific vocalistwent up to audition for chorus each yearin high school. She opened her mouthand… no sound came out. (When shetold that, the napkins went into play).

Dr. Val became a backup singer forthe dear man she later married. She tolda fascinating story of it, bringing Norminto the picture. He sat there, totallyenjoying her interpretation.

That was the unforgettable beginningof my nearly week-long birthday cel-ebration. What a wonderful event.

My Birth-week ended on Sunday with30 plus family members—some fromas far away as New York. Four genera-tions of family and special friends gath-ering in a private room to celebrate.

Each decade was covered. A daugh-ter or son stood and related amazinglyaccurate memories, considering thatthey went all the way back to beforetheir times. It must have taken exten-sive research. As each of them fin-ished a story, a gift representing thatdecade was presented. A memorablecomic book represented the 40s; RCCola and Moon Pies in a bucket rep-resented the 50s. So many memoriespassed in review and each of them staywith us long past the days of celebration.Finally we took pictures but one grand-son had already exited. Oh, Johnny!

As you add years, enjoy the lastingmemories. They keep you warm whenother things around you may havecooled. ST

Extend Your Wardrobe With Proper Care

With the economy doing anumber on everyone’s pock-etbook, it’s more importantthan ever to make sure you

get the most for your money. Making wisepurchases is a key to this strategy but tak-ing good care of the things you buy isanother important step. The better you carefor the items you buy the longer they lastand continue to look good for you. Thisstrategy works for most everything you buyand clothing is no exception to the rule.Here are a few strategies for keeping yourwardrobe looking it’s best: • Protect your clothes from stains caused

by personal grooming aids. Before get-ting dressed, apply makeup, perfume,cologne, hairspray, etc. and make sureyour deodorant is dry.

• Fold knit garments and store them on ashelf or in a drawer. Hanging them putsstrain on the fabric, distorting the shape.

• Do away with wire hangers and replacewith padded ones that are kinder to thesilhouette of the garment.

• Treat stains promptly. If necessary, carrya stain pen, a stain stick, or stain wipesin your purse or briefcase. This way youcan treat a stain at first notice. If a stainremover is not available, try dabbing withcool water if the fabric will allow it.

• Always read and follow the garment’s carelabel instructions for clothing longevity.

• Use the right amount of detergent.Checkthe product label for recommendations.Too little detergent won’t get the jobdone; too much detergent can leave adingy residue.

• Don’t over-dry. Too much time in thedryer will make clothes old.

• Don’t overdo the dry cleaning. Manygarments do not require cleaning afterevery wearing. Hang them up, use aclothes brush to whisk off the day’s dust,and let them air out overnight beforereturning them to the closet. Also, forlight dry cleaning, try an in-home dryerkit for garments that just need a littlefreshening up.

• Mend and repair. Repairing a hem, replac-ing buttons, or re-stitching a popped seamcan put a garment right back into ward-robe circulation.Try some of these tips to keep your

wardrobe looking good and lasting longerwhile you enjoy the money savings! ST

Your Legal Team For Life

by George Goldtrap

Fifteen years ago I wrote an article forSeniors Today about the time I worked in aPlanters Peanut Store in Nashville. Well...Friday was the store's 85th birthday, (in thesame Arcade location), and while I couldnot make the party, I was represented.

Son Jefre, an attorney in Nashville,called me and urged that I watch NashvilleChannel 5's story about the Arcade PeanutShop's 85th birthday celebration. Jefre's hap-pened to be in the store when the TV stationdid the story. They interviewed him and hetold them that I had worked there as a teenin the 50s. Here is the link: http://www.newschannel5.com/category/125220/video-landing-page?clipId=7701304 &topVideoCatNo=85299&autoStart=true

Here is the article I wrote 15 years ago:

Arcade Smells

As a child growing up in Nash-ville, I always enjoyed goingup town. A bus ride, (theBuena Vista), round trip, cost

10 cents and it was not governmentsubsidized.

I especially liked going to the Arcade.Located in the middle of the block be-tween Union and Church, and between4th and 5th Avenues, this unique struc-ture housed a variety of shops on theground floor and offices onthe second. The Arcade wassevered in the middle by analley. On the south east cornerof that intersection, was thePlanters Peanut Store. Youcould smell it all the way toeither end of the Arcade. Onthe 5th avenue end, the smellcompeted with that of fresh popcorn.Ummmmm!

Mother loved cashews, so occasion-ally on our Saturday up town trips, we'dtraipse through the Arcade, stop at thepeanut store and buy a big bag... a bigdime bag. The nuts came in several vari-eties. Jumbo whole nuts… very expen-sive, smaller whole nuts… a bit cheaper,and broken bits of nuts… the best bar-gain. We always got the latter… andwhat difference did it make other thanmoney. Once chewed, the taste was thesame, without regard to size. At Christ-mas time, after Mother cashed in herChristmas club account, she'd buy ahalf pound box. We made 'em last fora month.

Occasionally, outside the store, some-one dressed in a Mr. Peanut costumewould stand in the middle of the arcadeand give away a sampler teaspoon ofsize you want more. I always held outmy hand for a sample. If mother wasnot with me, I'd get a sample, walk 75

feet and reverse myself for another passin the opposite direction. As a small boy,I envied the Peanut Man.

At about age fourteen or fifteen I de-cided to seek a job at the store. I marchedin and declared my desire, and likemagic, I was hired. The store was runby a man and wife team. They wereassisted by a son about my age. Theircustomers were king! They started meout behind the counter and began teach-ing me valuable lessons in customer

service. They were masters at it—friendly and generous with everyone.There were hundreds of regulars.

Management instructed that I couldeat all the nuts I wanted, right out ofthe display counter—no limit. Pecans,cashews, peanuts, chocolate coveredpeanuts, etc, etc, etc. ‘These folks arecrazy’ I thought to myself. They justdidn't understand how much I like thesenuts. Turns out they were smarter thanI thought. By the third day, I was nolonger a threat to the stock.

I learned fast how to usethe scales, the cash register,and the tempt ’em with tastesales operation. Eventually Igot to dress in the ‘PeanutMan’ suit and give away thesamples. That was great fun. Isaw folks I knew. I made

everybody happy and I made thirtyfive cents per hour. What a life!

When business was slow I was sentupstairs to a hot smelly attic where Iassembled boxes for the front counter.Every job has its less than glamorousassignments, and enduring employeeslearn to deal with each. I was a happykid and sorry when the summer ended.Fourteen year olds, unfortunately, don'tget those kinds of opportunities today.Do-gooders have decided that youngpeople don't need to work. It's better forthem to stay indoors and learn the real-ities of life from the TV. Yeah right!

According to a recent Tennesseanarticle, the Peanut Store is still theretoday—over 70 years old. No doubtmany customers have been coming byfor almost that many years. If motherwere alive, she'd stop in. ST

Celebrating 40 Years In Practice

Q: I inherited a vase from a distantrelative. It is marked Catalina Potery,but I have been unable to find the com-pany listed in any reference books.

—Betty, Ramona, CAA: The Catalina Pottery Company

was founded in 1927 on Santa CatalinaIsland. The pottery didn't really attractthe attention of serious collectors untilabout 10 years ago. The small companyproduced vases, trinket boxes, and bowlsfor several years, adding dinnerware in1931. In 1937, production ended whenthe operation was purchased by Glad-den, McBean & Company.

Especially desirable are the HeadVases produced by Catalina. Many areselling for well above the $250 mark.Since you didn't give me any detailsabout your vase, I can't give you an ideaof value. I recently saw a fan-shapedvase made in 1935 by the Catalina Pot-tery Company in an antique shop andpriced for $175.

***Q: I have a picture that was made

by the F.W. Deval Company, manu-

facturers of tube colors, paints, andvarnishes. The material feels like plas-ter, but the picture is hand-painted.Whom can I contact to find out moreabout it?

—Irene, North Chili, NYA: With any piece of art, it is always

a good idea to get the opinion of anexpert. That means hiring the servicesof a good art appraiser. There are twotypes of appraisals, verbal and written.The verbal appraisal is an oral opinionand usually less expensive. A writtenappraisal is generally required for in-surance purposes. To find a certifiedappraiser, contact the Appraisers Asso-ciation of America, http://appraisersassoc.org, 212-889-5404; the AmericanSociety of Appraisers, http://www.appraisers.org 702-478-2228; or the Inter-national Society of Appraisers, www.isa-appraisers.org, 206-241-0359.

Over the next decade, millions ofbaby boomers will begin theirwell-earned transition into retire-ment. This unique stage in life

allows retirees time to do more of the thingsthey love like enjoy time with friends andfamily, but it also comes with the addedresponsibility of keeping a closer eye onhealth to maintain an active lifestyle.

It may then come as a surprise to learnthat despite the fact that older adults are over16 times more likely to be hospitalized dueto the flu and its related complications thanyounger adults, nearly 30 percent of Amer-icans age 65 and older remained unvacci-nated this past flu season.

As people age, the immune system weak-ens, which puts adults 65 and older at in-creased risk for flu. In fact, each year inthe United States, more than nine out of10 flu-related deaths and six out of 10 flu-related hospitalizations occur in adults 65and older. Annual flu vaccination is the safestand most effective way to protect againstthe flu each season.

To help increase awareness about thedangers flu for older adults, the NationalCouncil on Aging (NCOA) has launchedthe Flu + You campaign. This educationalprogram aims to educate older Americans,their caregivers, and family members aboutthe seriousness of influenza in older adults,

the importance of annual vaccination, andthe available vaccine options for adults 65and older.

A recent survey of middle-age and olderadults found that almost 90 percent wouldseek vaccination after getting informationfrom their doctor and two-thirds also notedthat friends and family could influence theirvaccination decision.

A flu vaccine is recommended for every-one 6 months of age and older. It is veryimportant for adults 65 and older to get vac-cinated because they are at greatest risk fordeveloping severe complications of influenzawhen they get infected. Adults in this agegroup have two available options—the tra-ditional flu shot and a higher dose flu shot,which is designed to address the decline ofthe immune system with age. Both of thesevaccines are covered by Medicare.

The higher dose shot triggers the bodyto produce more antibodies against the fluvirus than would be produced by the tra-ditional shot. Antibodies are the soldiers ofthe immune system that help respond andprotect against infection.

Speak with your health care providerabout the dangers of the flu, the benefitsof vaccination, and the best vaccine optionto meet your needs. And remember, get-ting your flu vaccination not only helpsprotect you, but helps to prevent the spreadof the flu to friends and family. ST

Wallis Simpson was notstrikingly beautiful orespecially brilliant, butshe was a clever, deter-

mined woman who almost single-hand-edly changed the course of British historyduring the 1930s.

Born Bessie Wallis Warfield in 1896in Baltimore, she dropped her first namebecause it sounded too bovine, and thenset out to reinvent herself. With wit anda sense of style, she charmed her wayinto the social circles of the upper-classelite and earned a reputation as analmost unstoppable force when it cameto getting what she wanted.

As Wallis once wrote, “It was notquite enough for me to be... the life ofthe party or to spend my existencemerely taking part in good conversation.I wanted more out of life.”

In 1916, Wallis married Lt. Earl Win-field Spencer, but the marriage was dis-solved a decade later. In 1928, whilein London, she married Ernest Simpson,an American-born Briton, and throughhis connections she met Edward, the

Prince of Wales, at a party in 1931. AsWallis mesmerized the Prince, theirgrowing romance was problematic. Forstarters, Wallis was a divorcee and stillvery much married to Simpson.

The relationship between Wallis andEdward became very public in 1936,the year of Edward's accession. Wallisobtained a divorce, and the King madeit clear that he intended to marry her,even if it meant giving up the throne.

Give it up he did. Wallis and Edwardwere married in a small ceremony inFrance in 1937. One of Edward's majordisappointments was that his wife wasnever accepted by the Royal Family. TheQueen Mother never mentioned her byname, only as that woman.

Many books have been written aboutWallis Simpson and the sensationalromantic story of the century. Thingsare, however, never quite as they seem,and that is why the story in That Woman:The Life of Wallis Simpson, DuchessOf Windsor Of The Duke remains sofascinating. ST

Q: I recently canceled my cable subscrip-tion in order to save money. While watch-ing the news streamed on my computeris okay, I'd like to pick up local stationson my TV. How can I do that?

—Chuck F., New HampshireA: Even with an older television, you

can pick up line-of-sight transmissions andreceive local television stations. Converterboxes are available at most large retailersthat sell electronics and cost from $30 to$60. You can learn more at http://dtv.gov/consumercorner_4.html

If you have a newer HD television, youmight be able to pick up a few signals if theTV has a built-in digital antenna. If not, thereare several HD antennas on the market. Ifyou live in an area where TV signals aretraditionally faint, you'll absolutely needone of these. They start at around $45 andgo up in price, but the plus side is that youwon't pay any more money for TV signalsonce the antenna is up. Outdoor antennas canpick up signals up to 50 miles away in mostcases, as long as there aren't too manyobstructions between your home and thetransmission source.

To set up an outdoor HD antenna, followthe instructions included with the product.Those made for rooftops should includeproper mounting bolts and, ideally, small

sealing squares (basically roof-patchingsquares) that sit between the antenna mountbase and the roof. If sealing squares aren'tincluded, head to your home-improvementstore for roof patches and cut them to fit.

You'll also need to feed the coaxial cableconnecting the antenna back into the houseto your television. If possible, try using theholes already drilled by the cable companyto install its coax, rather than punch moreholes in your home's envelope.

A number of videos on the web can pro-vide more information on antenna instal-lation. This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuY-D9fQG_s) shows one home-owner's installation option, at the top ofthe eave. Another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0WQtzMdo7I) provides detailson properly positioning the antenna for anoptimal signal, which is important in remoteareas. ST

This year’s Primp Your Pit pro-motion at Halifax Humane Soci-ety’s Redinger Spay/Neuter Clinicwas successful in sterilizing nearly

250 pit bulls and pit mixes. The promotionoffered a $20 spay/neuter surgery for anypit bull, and included vaccinations, a reg-istered microchip, and more. The discountedsurgeries were made possible by a Pet-Smart Charities research grant.

About 60 percent of the dogs taken in atHalifax Humane Society are pit bulls. Over-population of the breed is rampant in thisarea, and pit bulls face difficult odds of beingadopted. Spaying or neutering your pit bull

is the most effective way to control the pop-ulation. Each year, a female pit bull can pro-duce two litters with an average of fourpuppies. No household has the ability to carefor dozens of new animals, and the breedingleads to a higher number of the dogs enter-ing shelters like Halifax Humane Society.

While the Primp Your Pit promotion hasended, you can still take advantage of thegreat rates available at the Redinger Spay/Neuter Clinic by having your pet spayedor neutered today. To receive more infor-mation or to schedule an appointment, pleasecontact 386-310-4935.

Walking in the back door, Ikick off my shoes and throwmy purse on the counter. Ican't wait to sit down. Pul-

ling off my socks, I uncover four raw blis-ters—badges of pride for a full day on myfeet. Although exhilarating, my new job asa substitute teacher is an adjustment after10 years as a stay-at-home mom.

Though I'd love to read a magazine orwatch Oprah, I know I'd better throw in aload of my husband's Dockers and Poloshirts. How much longer can I ignore mydaughters' hampers, overflowing with grimyjeans and spaghetti sauce-stained sweat-shirts and blouses?

Just as I'm about to drown in self-pity,I stop dead in my tracks. I rub my eyes tomake sure I'm not seeing things. Could thatbe a row of clean, perfectly pressed pantshanging in my closet?

I touch the clothes to make sure they'refor real. The laundry is done. All of it.

As soon as the garage door creaks open,I'm there, ready with a welcoming kiss.“You didn't have to do all the laundry.”

My husband shrugs, as if washing clothesis some type of recreational sport. “Justthrew a few loads in during lunch. It reallywas no big deal.”

No big deal? A mountain of mind-numb-ing whites, darks, and cool-water washables?Sudsing and sorting and ironing, too? Fora girl pressed for time, this was beyondromantic. Forget the chocolates and roses.Turns out, Tide, and Clorox emit their owntype of pheromones.

After 15 years of marriage, I've discov-ered the secret to romance: a husband whowhistles while he Woolites. What could besexier or more romantic than a guy whoknows the difference between the spin cycleand permanent press?

Now that I'm a working girl, I know it'swise to accept help in the domestic depart-ment. A closet full of perfectly pressed pantsis a fine surprise any day. As far as I know,there are no heavenly rewards for sacrifi-cial sudsing and sorting. I'd be better offlistening to E.B. White's words of advice:“We should all do what, in the long run,gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapesor sorting the laundry.” If I pass the laun-dry basket into my husband's able arms,my hands will finally be free—to hug mygirls and maybe even relax a bit with a goodmagazine once in a while.

Suds, steam, and heat are surefire ingre-dients for true passion. ST

If you are one of the millions of Americans who suffer from spells of dizziness, you may now take asigh of relief. A new procedure called Canalith Repositioning conducted at the Center for Dizziness,Balance & Motion Sickness will eliminate this problem in 85% of patients. The medical term for thiscondition is Benign Positional Vertigo; it can cause people to feel nausea, lose their balance, and pre-vent simple normal activities from being accomplished.A graduate of Georgetown University Medical School, Dr. Katz trained in Otolaryngology (ear, nose,and throat) at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.By far, the most common cause of vertigo in people over 65 is benign positional dizziness that occurswhile the person is bending over, looking up, and lying down. It has been reported that balance relat-ed falls account for more than one-half of the accidental deaths among the elderly.The utricle is lined with nerve filaments, beneath a sticky pad of crystals. During the normal agingprocess the gravity-sensing crystals, called otoliths, are released from the utricle and work their wayinto the semicircular canal, where they float in fluid, head movements cause the otoliths to stimulatenerve endings, which results in vertigo. Once other causes of dizziness have been eliminated, he canproceed immediately with canalith repositioning.The condition is treated by a simple in-office maneuver where the patient’s head is tilted in severalpositions in such a way as to remove this debris from the fluid in the inner ear.Canalith repositioning is a highly effective treatment and can be easily repeated if dizziness returns oris not completely eliminated the first time. Dr. Katz also treats people with balance problems. Way too often, people are told “you’re getting older,what do you expect?” But it is not a normal part of aging to lose your balance.Certain antibiotics or viral infections can damage the balance nerves leaving individuals with an inse-cure feeling when walking, especially when stepping off a curb, walking on an uneven surface likepebbles or lawns and walking in the dark. When balance problems arise, people have a tendency to restrict their activity and then the brain doesn’tget enough stimulation to learn how to compensate for the injury.Vestibular Rehabilitation and Balance Retraining (which is performed in our office) is very effectivein restoring balance by a process of adaptation and compensation.Dr. Katz also treats people with Meniere’s disease that is characterized by episodes of vertigo that lastanywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours and is also associated with hearing loss and ringing in the ears.

A TributeTo MyParentsSara FoxGallery—House

by Freddie Groves

Right on the heels of the Su-preme Court's decision that it'sperfectly legal to claim med-als one has never earned, the

Pentagon is doing something it shouldhave done years ago—developing amedals database.

One hurdle to rolling out a compre-hensive, accurate database is the firethat occurred in 1973 in the records cen-ter in St. Louis. The records of at least16 million service members, whichincluded all their medals and service,were lost in that fire. While informationfor more recent years has been put oncomputer, earlier files haven't been dig-itized—and some are gone for good.

The Pentagon now appears to beready to take the step of creating a data-base of the records it does have. Likemost efforts involving the government,it might take a while.

At this point, keep an eye on legis-lation in Congress to replace the origi-nal Stolen Valor Act. A few new pro-posals are out there now, ones thatwouldn't fall within the Supreme Court's

problem with free speech. One, by Sen.Jim Webb, focuses on the personal-gain aspect of wearing unearned medals.Criminal punishment would includefines and imprisonment.

Senators Scott Brown and Joe Heckhave produced revised version of theoriginal legislation that would make it“a federal misdemeanor for someoneto profit from lying about their militaryservice, records, or awards.”

While, thanks to the Supreme Court,there's not much you can legally doabout nailing a phony, you can takenames and keep your eyes open. Makeuse of the existing online databases suchas The P.O.W. Network (www.pownetwork.org); The Congressional Medalof Honor Society (www.cmohs.org);and Home of Heroes (www.homeofheroes.com), which has an alphabeticalindex of 120,000 genuine recipients ofmajor military awards.

According to the Mayo Clinic, apinched nerve occurs when toomuch pressure is applied to anerve by either bone, cartilage,

muscles, or tendons. This pressure cancause pain, tingling, numbness, or weak-ness. A pinched nerve can occur at severalsites in your body. A herniated disk inyour lower spine, for example, may putpressure on a nerve root, causing pain thatradiates down the back of your leg (sciat-ica). Pinched nerve signs and symptomsinclude numbness in area supplied by thenerve, sharp or burning pain, tingling sen-sations, muscle weakness or twitching inthe affected area, and a frequent feelingthat a foot or hand has fallen asleep.

Acupuncture is effective in treatingpinched nerves, bulging and herniated discsin the back and neck. Acupuncture stimulatessensory nerve endings that send impulsesthrough the spinal cord to different areasof the brain, causing both local and central-acting effects. By stimulating specific acu-points, acupuncturists seek to restore normalenergy flow and help the body function atthe optimal level. The technique producesneurological and biochemical changes inthe body.

Herbal therapy helps strengthen immu-nity, increase energy levels, and restoresthe balance of neurotransmitters. Addition-ally, it assists the mind to relax, enhance the

body’s functions to an optimal level, andpromotes general well-being.

Acupuncture provides a safe, naturalway to alleviate discomforting symptoms.The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)sees the human body as an integrated being.It works with vital energies inherent withinall living things to promote the body’sability to heal itself. Qi (bioelectric energy)is a vital energy that flows through merid-ians, pathways that run throughout the entire

body. Qi protects the body from illness andprovides nourishment to cells, tissues, mus-cles, and organs. During a treatment, spe-cific acupuncture points are stimulated tobalance bioelectric energy circulation andpromote the body’s own natural healingabilities. A balance of energy in the bodyyields mind-body relaxation and optimizedphysiological functions of the body. Thewhole procedures last about 20 minutes,during which time patients are very relaxedand comfortable.

Dear Paw’s Corner: Last spring, asI was taking my cat Ferris out of mymom's car at the vet's office, he jumpedout of my arms and ran into the woods.We searched the woods and surround-ing neighborhoods for hours, with noluck. About a week later, we got a callfrom a veterinarian almost 10 milesaway from where Ferris had escaped!He was found by one of the assistants,and they had quickly identified Ferris byscanning his implanted microchip.

Tell your readers how important it isto microchip their pets. It reunited us withFerris quickly, once he was found.

— Sarah in Smyrna, GA

Dear Sarah: I'm glad to hear Ferrisgot home safely! Microchipping canindeed help reunite a lost pet with itsowners. The biggest benefit of micro-chips is that if a pet loses its collar andID tag, the microchip—a rice grain—sized device typically implanted justunder the skin between the shoulderblades—carries that ID information aswell as contact information.

Once a microchip is implanted, own-ers should register the chip's informa-tion at an online registry such as thenonprofit Found Animals http://microchipregistry.foundanimals.org/ or a reg-istry recommended by your veterinarian.If your pet gets lost and is found andscanned, the information will be relayedto these registries. From there, the ownercan check the registries, or opt to bealerted if their pet's chip is scanned.

Microchipping is affordable, as well.Generally, even the priciest chippingcosts well under $100, and it's oftenoffered as part of low-cost vaccinationclinics at a reduced price. ST

Pet Care

Why Microchip

In 1987, the Food and Drug Adminis-tration approved Lovastatin, a 3-hy-droxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A(HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, for use

in the United States. After more than fif-teen years of availability, statins have risen tothe top of drug treatment for high cholesterol.

Maggie, a sixty year old lady started tak-ing a cholesterol-controlling-statin drug twoyears ago, and has had had nothing but goodresults: she feels good, with only minimalaching and her cholesterol is under con-trol. However, there are two sides to the coin.

Lauren, a fifty year old lady began statintherapy three weeks ago, reporting a twoweek history of muscle aching, at whichtime her serum creatine kinase (CK) waselevated. Within a week of stopping hermedication, Lauren felt like herself againand her CK returned to normal.

Generally, statins are well tolerated, butcan occasionally produce a muscle-relatedcomplaint such as aching, cramping, andweakness. The American College of Cardi-ology and American Heart Association listsfour conditions with possible associationwith the use of statins: statin-myopathy(muscle aching related to this drug), myal-gia (muscle aching without an elevated CK),myositis (muscle aching with an elevatedCK), and rhabdomyolysis (CK >10 times theupper limit of normal (ULN) with an ele-vated creatinine level).

Rhabdomyolysis, the most severe com-plication associated with statins, is very rare(0.04 deaths per 1 million prescriptions) andis caused by severe and widespread mus-cle injury. Toxins, which then accumulate inthe blood and urine, can cause decreasedkidney function and even kidney failure.

Luckily, the progression from myopa-thy to rhabdomyolysis can almost alwaysbe reversed with early diagnosis, treat-ment, adequate hydration, and with med-ication cessation.

If symptoms do not cease after stoppingthe statin, further work-up for underlying con-ditions should be performed.

Recognizing symptoms of myopathy andpromptly reporting them are essential inpreventing serious side effects and compli-cations from statin therapy. In most cases,the significant protection it provides againstcoronary and cardiovascular conditions out-weighs the risk of developing statin-asso-ciated myopathy. With a little knowledgeon what to look for, statins can help yousafely lower your cholesterol.

In most cases, peripheral neuropathyis secondary to conditions including dia-betes, nutritional deficiencies, poison-ing from heavy metals, chemotherapy,or various drugs. Other common causesinclude compression or entrapment (e.g.carpal tunnel syndrome and thoracicoutlet syndrome), and impact injury toa nerve.

Symptoms of peripheral neuropathyinclude numbness, tingling, prickingsensations, sensitivity to touch, burningpain, muscle weakness, and atrophyof the arms and legs. The feet and legsare more likely to be affected before thehands and arms.

“Use a bandana to strain coffee ifyou've accidentally had a filter bust. Itworks. I first used this tip when camp-ing, but I have used it at home, too. Thecoffee goes through it faster than a paperfilter, which is fine when it's alreadybrewed, since you lose less heat.”

Recycling notes: Cardboard that'sgreasy or food-caked is just not recy-clable. It's trash. On the plus side, yourglass jars don't have to be perfectlyclean, nor your cans crushed, in orderto take them to the recycling center ordrop curbside if your community hasa plan in place.

“To freshen stuffed animals, dampena cloth with a solution of 1 cup vine-gar and 3 cups water. Wipe outside furthoroughly, being careful not to soak it.Secure in a delicates bag or tie insidea pillowcase, then put in the dryer atlow heat until completely dry. Addinga fabric softener sheet for the final fiveminutes is nice, too.”

Here's a wonderful tip from Fibre-new, a leather, vinyl and plastics refur-bishing specialist, on what to do if youget ink on your leather car seats:“DON'T use dish soap or hair spray toremove the marks. The degreasingagents in dish soap can permanentlyde-gloss and damage the top coatingon the leather surface. Hair spray, acommon recommendation, has alco-hol in it and will ruin the surface coat-ing on your leather.” Use a specialleather-cleaning kit instead, or contacta local professional to fix it for you.

“Remove tea stains from your teapotwith a few drops of bleach added to apot of hot water. Let sit for five or sominutes, then swish with a brush. Mosttea stains will come right out. Be sureto rinse well.”

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am thoroughlyconfused. Several months ago, I readof the benefit of wine for women. Theconclusion was that it could reducea woman's chances of heart attack andstroke by 30 percent. My husband andI have started to drink one glass of winea day. Now comes a new report that saysjust one glass of wine a day increasesthe chances for breast cancer. ShouldI be concerned?

—M.T.

Answer: Wine and other alcoholicdrinks lower the incidence of heartdisease and, apparently, strokes. That'sthe current majority thinking. Mod-erate drinkers of alcohol—wine in par-ticular—have a lower overall mortalityrate than do alcohol abstainers andheavy drinkers. Moderate drinkingis one glass of wine, one 12-ounce canof beer, or 1.5 ounces of whiskey forwomen; it's two for men.

The role of wine (or alcohol) in pro-moting breast cancer is less clear. An-alysis of 40 studies shows an increase in

breast cancer for women downing threeor more drinks a day. The same stud-ies suggest that even one or two dailydrinks might pose a slight danger.

Other studies show an increase inlobular breast cancer with one drink aday, but no increase in ductal breastcancer. Ductal cancer is the most com-mon kind of breast cancer.

The best advice I have read is this:If a woman truly savors drinking wine,one glass a day is relatively safe inregard to breast cancer. The benefitsof heart health and prevention ofstroke are not so great that they shouldinduce anyone to change from being anondrinker to a drinker.

The booklet on breast cancer explainsthis illness in detail. For a copy, write:Dr. Donohue–No. 1101W, Box 536475,Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order (no cash) for$4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient'sprinted name and address. ST

Crossword PuzzleOn Page B-10

Far too many of us, womenespecially, can develop weightproblems as we age. We're lessactive. Menopause doesn't help.

We might have different eating patterns.Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Can-

cer Research Center have done a studythat looked at self-monitoring as a wayto reduce weight.

The study results show how we canlose weight safely in three steps: 1) Keepa journal that reports everything that'seaten; 2) Don't skip meals; and 3) Don'tgo out to lunch. Sounds pretty simple,doesn't it.

They divided 123 overweight andobese senior women into two groupsfor the yearlong study: one group useddiet and exercise, and the other only diet.

Here's what they learned:Women who kept journals of what

they ate lost six pounds more than thosewho didn't keep a journal. This appearedto be the most important of the threesteps, and it makes sense. If we write

down exactly what we eat, it's easier toidentify whether we're meeting ourgoals. The trick is to be honest, andbeing honest means measuring portionsand reading labels—and always keep-ing your journal with you in case you doeat while away from home.

Women who went out for lunch atleast once a week lost five pounds lessthan those who didn't, or who ate lunchout less frequently. When you eat at arestaurant, you can't control the size ofthe portions or how the food is cooked.

Women who skipped meals lost eightpounds less than those who didn't skipmeals. Researchers weren't sure why, butit could be that being hungry leads toovereating or eating out. Eating at reg-ular times gave the best success. ST

Three Simple Steps To Weight Loss

Freud used a term that I under-stand better than I can explain.We experience it a little likethe onset of depression. It’s just

not as powerful and disabling as depres-sion can be.

While it may not be as disabling itcan be just as aggravating because tryhowever you may, you cannot get a han-dle on it.

It has a touch of depression in itmainly because we don’t know what’sgoing on. Anytime we do not know whatis going in in or mind and emotions, wecannot be very happy.

He called it free-floating anxiety. Weseldom know what it is that is botheringus but we know something is. It seemsthe more we try to figure it out, the moreit hides from us. You know how there aretimes you are straining to recall some-one’s name and the harder you strain,the more it eludes you.

I have only discovered one little tech-nique that gets it out of it’s little hidehole in the psyche. So this will be a briefSunday Journal and I hope you willshare some of your thoughts on free-floating anxiety.

Here’s what I do, I just start typingas fast as I can with no thought ofspelling or correct form, just thinkingthat is free-wheeling. I write up every-thing in my life that is bothering me inany way at all. I don’t try to put my

gripes in any kind of order. I don’t slowdown until I feel I have pretty well emp-tied myself.

Then I get a yellow pen and underlinethat strongest growling I have just re-leased. Somewhere in this outspewingI find the main source of my free-float-ing anxiety if I am lucky.

The secret is to keep it free and feel-ing good. ST
