Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd diet, he suf-fered from bad breath. This made him ....

A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Publisher's Corner by Sean AtheyHey Everyone! Thanks for picking up this

issue of Tidbits of the Lake Area.Time sure flies when you are always

watching the clock! I sure hope eveyone is enjoying getting out of the house with the warmer weather, it is about time. Whether

you like to garden, fish, bike or just sit on the porch and take it all in, at least it is outside. My own little projects are sort of moving along here. We are planning to put in some vegetables to can, and some flowers, so far I have only dug around a bit in the garden, but I am calling it progress. We also have a gradution for our youngest son coming up on the 25th of this month, so... busy is the word of the day.

And, that holds true today as well. I am going to have to wrap this up and get it off to the printer.

Thanks again for taking time to relax and read Tidbits of The Lake Area. We hope you enjoy!!

Next week, more pressure cooking meals, new year's resolution update and various "bits" and pieces... enjoy your week!

Sean Athey, publisherSean@LakeAreaTidbits.com

Q: I was a college student during the 1970s and still have a large box full of keepsakes from that period. I have early issues of “High Times,” a Happy Face cook-ie jar, a doughnut-shaped phone and an assortment of pop posters. I am thinking of having a garage sale, but keep hesitating. -- Steve, Westminster, Colo.

A: Several years ago, Michael Jay Goldberg, a Port-land, Oregon-based collector, published a fun guide, “The Collectible ‘70s: A Price Guide to the Polyester Decade.” This might be helpful when determining what to toss and what to keep. Last year, while rummaging through one of my storage closets, I found a pile of 1970s comics: “Freak,” “Tales from the Fridge,” “Short Order” and “Psychotic Adventures.” Needless to say, I lost more than an hour revisiting these publications

Blast Fromthe Past

"Collecting" is brought to you each week by Old Hospital Mall Antiques of Wilmot, SD

from my past, but what a blast. My advice is to think before you toss.

• • •Q: My son has a collection of Hot Wheels, and I would

like to find a price guide so he can determine how much his collection is worth. Can you help me? -- Alice, Mo-bile, Ala.

A: Although there are several excellent guides, my personal favorite is “Warman’s Hot Wheels” by Mi-chael Zarnock and published by Krause. This nifty little guide features design histories, current values and more than 500 illustrations in full color. It is $17.99 and avail-able at amazon.com or from the publisher, Krause, 700 E. State Street, Iola, WI 54990; 888-457-2873.

• • •Q: I have a fan-shaped vase in green. I have been told

by my mom that it was a wedding gift in 1937 and is a piece of Fenton. Is it worth keeping? -- Laura, Palm Springs, Calif.

A: Your Mongolian Green fan vase is referenced in “Fenton Glass” by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books. According to Moran, your vase is worth about $35.

• • •Q: I have nine early Barbie dolls, all in the original

packaging. Whom can I contact to find out current values? -- Ruth, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Scott D. Gram is a Barbie doll expert as well as a certified appraiser of art, sterling silver and antiques. He can be contacted at sdgram@qwest.net.

• It was noted British lexicog-rapher Samuel Johnson who made the following sage obser-vation: “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone

who can do him absolutely no good.”• If an American black bear is pregnant when it goes into hi-bernation, she could give birth without ever awakening. While she is still in her torpor, her body will draw on reserves of fat to produce milk to nurse her young. However, if something that could be dangerous to her young comes within 50 feet of the

den, the mother bear’s heart rate will spike and she will wake to defend the cubs. • If you’re holding your nose, you can’t hum. Try it.• On a chemical level, there’s not too much difference between blood and seawater. • If you’ve ever looked closely at a zipper, you may have no-ticed the letters YKK on the tab. The letters stand for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha, which is Japanese for “Yoshida Manu-facturing Shareholding Company,” which produces most of the zippers found in the U.S. • An octopus has three hearts.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I want to volunteer somehow to help pets in my area, but can’t really find any opportunities. I called the local shelter, and they said they aren’t accepting vol-unteers right now. Why not? I thought shelters were desperate for help. Where else can I look? -- Tanya J., via email

DEAR TANYA: While some shelters accept any help that is offered, many have implemented more controlled volunteer programs. This allows them to have a better handle on which

Shelters Aren’t Only Place to Volunteer

volunteers are available at certain times, who has more experience working with animals and who has less, and so on.

A better question to ask your local shelter is whether it has any volunteer programs available, now or in the near future, or any other opportunities to help. If not, you can ask if it is affili-ated with a larger organization, such as the ASPCA, and find a contact there who has information about volunteer opportunities.

Many shelters offer fundraising events that are more fun and less work. If you’re not able to give money to the cause, you could offer to help at these events. Or, you can participate in charity walks -- either by yourself or by round-ing up a group of friends -- and raise money that way.

Check your local newspaper for event listings and news from the local shel-ter. Many newspapers have an online component, and could have a lot more information on their website in a section reserved for the local shelters.

Visit the veterinarian and look for a bulletin board in the waiting room. If there is one, there likely are notices posted about events and volunteer op-portunities. Or you can talk to the vet or an assistant during your pet’s checkup about your interest in volunteering somewhere, somehow.
