Cherry Pork Chops Boneless pork loin chops cook quickly, and since they have no bones, it’s easy to cut off all the ex cess fat. Fruit always goes nicely with pork -- and here we used some of the season’s early cherries to make our special sauce.

3/4 pound green beans Salad oil Salt 1/2 pound dark sweet cherries 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 4 (about 4 ounces each) 1-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops 1/4 cup cherry-juice cocktail, or cranberry-rasp berry juice 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon beef-flavor instant bouillon

1. Trim ends from green beans. In 3-quart sauce pan over high heat, in 1 tablespoon very hot salad oil, cook green beans and 1/2 teaspoon salt until green beans begin to brown, stirring fre quently. Add 1/2 cup water and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, until beans are tender, about 3 minutes. Drain; remove green beans to warm large platter; keep warm. 2. Meanwhile, remove pits from cherries; cut each cherry in half. In cup, combine pepper, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt; rub pork loin chops with herb mixture. 3. In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in 1 tablespoon hot salad oil, cook pork chops 10 minutes or until still slightly pink in the center but juices run clear when pierced with a knife, turning chops once halfway through. Remove to platter with green beans. 4. In measuring cup, combine cherry juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch, bouillon and 1/4 cup water. Add cherry-juice mixture and cherries to drippings in skillet; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 minutes to blend flavors. Serve sauce over pork. Serves 4.

Tidbits Galore!• Francis Scott Key composed the words to “The Star

Spangled Banner” on the back of an envelope.• Since serving soda water on Sundays was against

the law in the 1800s in most U.S. towns, somedrugstore owners could not serve ice cream sodas.Instead, they served a concoction with ice cream,nuts, fruit, and syrup but no soda water. These“sundaes” on Sunday became so popular that theywere soon served every day of the week.

• The motto of the famous Pinkerton DetectiveAgency is: “We Never Sleep,” and that motto isprinted over a picture of an open eye. That’s whyprivate detectives are referred to as “Private Eyes.”

• The reason moths and other nocturnal insects circleyour porch lamp is not because they crave thespotlight. Moths and insects use the moon to helpthem navigate in the dark. When an insect gets tooclose to a light, it does what nature tells it to do - itkeeps its body aligned in relation to the light source.If the light source were the far distant moon, theinsect would fly straight. However, since the lightis so close, the bug ends up flying in circles.

• In a single summer afternoon in 1935, Jesse Owensbroke four world records! He set or tied marks inthe 100-yard dash, the 220-yard hurdles, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. Since then all of JesseOwens’ records have been bettered, but never hasanother athlete broken four records in a single day.

• A huge diamond of tremendous carat weight wastaken to the finest cutter in Amsterdam. The entirevalue of the stone depended almost completely onthe first cut. Needless to say, the diamond cutterfelt the tremendous pressure of his task and spenta full month examining the stone to determine itsnatural cleavage. Finally, the moment of trutharrived, and the diamond cutter raised his malletto crack the massive diamond. But when hiscleaver hit the stone, the cleaver itself broke intotwo pieces. After collecting his wits again, themaster cutter struck the stone again, and wasrewarded when the stone split perfectly. He wasso relieved he fainted on the floor.

Answer- The correct uses of bad are in sentences a and b. People can never “feel badly”... unless their hands are covered with thick gardening gloves. “Feel” is a linking verb. People can act badly, golf badly and cook badly (all action verbs), but they can just feel plain bad.

Tidbits Of Trivia By V.B. Darrington

The First Fact and Our Motto• “There is much pleasure to be gained from

useless knowledge.” –Bertrand Russell

Quick Bits• The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are more

than 2, 500 miles apart in most of the United States. But in some places in Central America, the world’s two biggest oceans are separated by fewer than 50 miles of land. Panama is the narrowest part of Central America, but there are no mountains in Panama that offer view of both oceans. However, a peak in the neighboring country of Costa Rica, the 11, 325 foot Mount Izaru, is the only point in the world from which you can see both oceans.

• It sounds strange to say that rain keeps the earth dry, but that’s exactly what it does. The process that generates precipitation gathers moisture from the air and concentrates it in clouds, which later deposit the water in the form of rains. If this moisture didn’t condense to form rain, then the atmosphere would be unbearably humid. The entire earth would be heavily covered with moisture, and life, as we know it probably couldn’t exist.

It’s Against the Law

• It’s against the law in California to set a trap for a mouse unless you have a hunting license.

• In Gary, Indiana, it’s against the law to take a streetcar or go to a theater within four hours after eating garlic.

More Facts

• Did you ever hear of “American Flag” or “Licorice Lulu”? They’re the names of flavors of chewing gum that were made and sold more than 100 years ago. These gums were made in Maine by two brothers named Curtis. Back in 1848, they began making gum from the sap of spruce trees.

Concussions and PTSD

The first line of “Aftershock: The Ticking Time Bomb of Soldiers’ Traumatic Brain Injuries” says: “At 8:20 p.m. on Sept. 21, 2010, Iraq veteran Brock Savelkoul decided it was time to die.” The long article begins by describing a standoff with police while Savelkoul gripped a 9-mm pistol and an untrained police officer tried to talk him down from a suicide wish. Savelkoul, a decorated veteran with three tours in Iraq under his belt, suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -- and he’d had enough. “Aftershock,” by T. Christian Miller and Daniel Zwerd lin, should be required reading for a long list of people: doctors, nurses, family of returning veterans, active military in harm’s way -- and veterans who have experi enced difficulties adjusting to civilian life after suffer ing seemingly mild concussions from blasts. The question that remains for doctors is whether a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion) can lead to PTSD. The answer likely lies in how the injury came to be: a football field concussion in a familiar setting can be different from one in a frightening circumstance of war. As the article describes, severe traumatic brain injuries aren’t as likely to lead to PTSD because the person is knocked unconscious, but as one researcher indicated, one concussion may cause lifelong problems. The article describes the long process that veterans go through trying to get help for their invisible wounds. Savelkoul and four others with him suffered mild trau matic brain injuries from a nearby explosion, although they were not initially diagnosed with concussion, likely because they weren’t checked. Of the men, three are still in the military and serving overseas, one recovered but gets bad headaches, two have memory and concentration problems -- and Savel koul entered a downward spiral that led to his standoff with police. To read the whole article, go online to www.alternet.org and put the title in the search box.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband had blood work for a cholesterol study. It included something called lipoprotein (a), something we never heard of. It was over the normal value. I called my doctor, but he was on vacation, so I left word for the covering doctor. A phone call came from his secretary, who said: “He didn’t say anything, so I guess it’s OK.” I want answers. Will you explain this to me? -- F.

ANSWER: Lipoprotein (a), spoken as “lipoprotein little a,” is another cholesterol fraction that is an independent risk for artery clogging and heart attacks. It’s different from LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). Frankly, at the present, doctors find it hard to counsel patients about lipoprotein (a), so most don’t order it.Now emphasis is placed on lowering LDL cholesterol (your husband’s value is very good) and raising HDL cholesterol (again your husband’s was very good). I will trade places with him if he wishes, and I’ll take his lipoprotein (a) reading to boot. I can tell you what lowers lipoprotein (a). Niacin does. There is no proof, however, that lowering it lowers the risk of a heart attack. Daily exercise of 30 minutes also

brings it down, if the doctor approves of exercise for a person. As does losing weight if that applies. A low-fat diet high in vegetables, fruits and grains is another way of reducing lipoprotein (a). From his other cholesterol values, I’d say he must be doing some of this anyway. All of this, except for niacin, is the much-preached recipe for heart health regardless of lipoprotein (a).Until told otherwise, put lipoprotein (a) on a back burner. The booklet on cholesterol explains this topic that is talked about to excess. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 201W, 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.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: None of my 21 grandchildren has had their tonsils out. All of my seven children did. Is this no longer done? I wish doctors would make up their minds about these things. -- B.B.

ANSWER: When your children were young, it was almost standard practice to remove tonsils as a way to protect against strep throat. We now know this isn’t necessary, and we now have antibiotics to treat strep throat. Children who have repeated strep throat infections still have their tonsils removed, but the operation is no longer done for prevention.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I work out at home on an exercise bike and a treadmill. On days my knees are bothering me, I don’t do either. One doctor suggests that I cease the exercise bike but use the treadmill. The other says just the opposite. They both can’t be right. Who is? -- R.G.ANSWER: You can answer this one for yourself. Which hurts your knees? I find that bike pedaling is harder on my knees. Others find running a bigger source of pain.

• “I purchased a small misting spray bottle from the travel-items section of my local drugstore. I filled it with rubbing alcohol, and keep it on my

Tidbits of Mississippi Gulf Coast

Tidbits® of Mississippi Gulf Coast • Once U.S. President Theodore “Teddy”

Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi. One day a bear cub was brought into camp for the president to shoot. Roosevelt refused. Because of Teddy Roosevelt’s liking for the bear cub, toy bears are called “Teddy Bears” to this day.

• America bought Alaska from the Russians for two cents an acre.

Tidbits Galore!• Francis Scott Key composed the words to

“The Star Spangled Banner” on the back of an envelope.

• Since serving soda water on Sundays was against the law in the 1800s in most U.S. towns, some drugstore owners could not serve ice cream sodas. Instead, they served a concoction with ice cream, nuts, fruit, and syrup but no soda water. These “sundaes” on Sunday became so popular that they were soon served every day of the week.

• The motto of the famous Pinkerton Detective Agency is: “We Never Sleep, “And that motto is printed over a picture of an open eye. That’s why private detectives are referred to as “Private Eyes.”

• The reason moths and other nocturnal insects circle your porch lamp is not because they crave the spotlight. Moths and insect use the moon to help them navigate in the dark. When an insect gets too close to a light, it does what nature tells it to do – it keeps its body aligned in relation to the light source. If the light source were the far distant moon, the insect would fly straight. However, since the light is so close, the bug ends up flying in circles.

• In a single summer afternoon in 1935, Jesse Owens broke four world records! He set or tied marks in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard hurdles, the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. Since then all of Jesse Owens’ records have been bettered, but never has another athlete broken four records in a single day.

• A huge diamond of tremendous carat weight was taken to the finest cutter in Amsterdam. The entire value of the stone depended almost completely on the first cut. Needless to say, the diamond cutter felt the tremendous pressure of his task and spent a full month examining the stone to determine its natural cleavage. Finally, the moment of truth arrived, and the diamond cutter raised his mallet to crack the massive diamond. But when his cleaver hit the stone, the cleaver itself broke into two pieces. After collecting his wits again, the master cutter struck the stone again, and was rewarded when the stone split perfectly. He was so relieved he fainted on the floor.

• Bulldogging is a popular rodeo event. In it, a cowboy on horseback chases after a steer. He then jumps from his horse, grabs the steer by the horns and tries to wrestle the steer to the ground. But where did bulldogging get its name? One story claims that a famous cowboy Bill Pickett invented bulldogging. History says that Pickett used to grab his steer by the horns, and then he would bite the upper lip of the animal, letting go with his hands just like a bulldog.

• The famed Pony Express was an abject financial failure. It was in existence for only two years.

• If you were asked where the tallest pyramid on earth is located, would you answer San Francisco? The huge pyramid-shaped skyscraper that dominates the Bay-area skyline exceeds even the massive height of the pyramids in Egypt.

• The workers at a bakery in Connecticut used to play a game at lunchtime. They would play catch with a tin pie plate from the local bakery. The game became so popular that the idea was picked up commercially. Soon the

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: It never seems to amaze me. I’m talking about the people who do not get their critters fixed. I know some very educated people whose pets have litter after litter. What are they thinking? Where and when will it end?It is never right or a good thing to allow your critters to have a litter. Never! Take a look at our overcrowded animal shelters. It just breaks my heart at the number of animals they have to put down. These “educated” people tell me, “Oh, I find homes for all my babies.” That’s beside the point! If you don’t have babies to give away for free, then people will have to adopt a critter from the shelter that is fixed and won’t reproduce any more unwanted and unloved animals. Get all your pets fixed!If you can’t afford to get them fixed, find a program that will help you pay for it or take them to your local shelter. Please! -- Dee in Palmyra, N.Y.

DEAR DEE: Thank you for making an important point so forcefully. Litters of puppies and kittens are very cute, but they add to an already huge population of dogs and cats, most of which are never adopted and end up in shelters, where they’re often euthanized. Unless you are an AKC-certified, professional breeder, you have no business allowing your pets to procreate. I have heard many excuses from pet owners as to why they don’t spay or neuter. “Oh, it would be cruel.” “Oh, my Maximilian would lose his confident personality if he were neutered.” And of course, “My pet is well-behaved and indoors most of the time, so she’ll never get pregnant.”Don’t let yourself be swayed by these fantasies. Learn the facts about spaying and neutering.

¥ On July 8, 1776, a 2,000-pound copper-and-tin bell now known as the “Liberty Bell” rings out from the tower of the Pennsylvania State House (now Indepen-dence Hall) in Philadelphia, summoning citizens to the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.

As a bonus, through April of 2012 you’ll be able to view a special exhibit on royal cakes. Yes, cakes.
