• It was beloved American actress Katharine Hepburn who made the following sage observation: “If you always do what interests you, at least one

person is pleased.”

• Half of the Earth’s surface is covered by the Pacific Ocean.

• Need more evidence that portion sizes in America are getting larger? In the 1964 edition of the iconic “Joy of Cooking,” a recipe for chocolate chip cookies was said to yield 45 servings. When the cookbook’s 1997 edition was published, the same recipe was said to yield 36 servings.

• The original name of the city of Melbourne, Austra-lia, was Batmania.

• In the original calculations made by NASA experts, a landing on the moon was thought to have only a 5 percent chance of success.

• In rural Wisconsin in 1921, two third-grade students in a one-room schoolhouse became sweethearts. At the end of the school year, Lorraine Beatty and Mac McKitrick lost touch with each other. This story would be unremarkable, except for what happened 87 years later. In 2009, their brothers, who had become friends, brought the couple back together again. Shortly thereafter, the couple married and moved in with each other in a retirement home.

• The 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, let his horse graze on the White House lawn.

• The oldest government building in the country actu-ally predates the nation: The Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, N.M., was built in 1610.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 84 years old, and I have spinal stenosis, which is causing me pain. I would like to know more about it. Will you furnish more infor-mation? -- T.P.

ANSWER: Spinal stenosis is a common back prob-lem of older people. It's said that 20 percent of those older than 60 have it. The spinal cord is an offshoot of the brain, and it travels from the brain to the lower back. It's about the width of your little finger and is ex-tremely delicate. That's why nature encased it in back-bones -- vertebrae. Running through the backbones is a tunnel, the spinal canal that serves to protect the cord.

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the tunnel. It happens mostly in the neck and lower-back regions. Thickened ligaments surrounding the spinal cord or ar-thritic changes of the backbones impinge on the spinal cord or the nerves that spring from it.

When the process occurs in the back, pain is felt there and often in the buttocks or thighs. The pain worsens if a person stands for too long. People can ease the pain by bending forward at the waist or by sit-ting down. Bending opens the tunnel to give the spinal cord some breathing room. The amount of bend that works is the amount of bend a person assumes when pushing a shopping cart.

Have you tried Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain? It's safe when used as directed on the label. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve) also are helpful. They can cause stomach upset and stomach bleeding, so follow direc-tions given for their use. Hot packs or cold packs might work. Try both, and see if either gets the job done.

At night, lying on your side in bed with a pillow between your knees lessens pain. A program of physi-cal therapy might help you turn the corner. Ask your doctor for a referral. And finally, the opinion of a back surgeon will let you know if any surgical technique can bring you relief.

The booklet on back pain offers other advice for the many conditions causing back pain. Readers can ob-tain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 303W, 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.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-

ters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Complete Hunting Information and Applications:http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/

EHD is common in white-tailed deer and is typically detected in late summer or early fall. The virus is spread by a biting midge and causes extensive internal hemor-rhaging. Many deer exhibit no clinical signs and appear perfectly healthy, while others may have symptoms such as respiratory distress, fever, and swelling of the tongue. With highly virulent strains of the virus, deer can be dead within 1-3 days. In an attempt to combat the high fever, affected deer are often found in low-lying areas or near rivers, ponds and other waters.

South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks Department con-tinues to ask individuals who see sick deer or find dead deer to contact their local conservation officer or call the Pierre office at 605-773-5913.

EHD is not infectious to humans. For more information on the EHD virus visit http://gfp.sd.gov/wildlife/diseases/epizootic-hemorrhagic-disease.aspx.

Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD)


Tidbits is proud to bring to you a new series. Appleton, Minnesota is the only city in the world to have all of its streets and avenues named after its fallen veterans. With the help of Appleton businesses and referencing the book Home of Honored Veterans, Tidbits of the Lake Area would like to introduce you to one of these Honored Soldiers each week.

Sergeant David Julien Barduson March 26, 1945~February 24, 1968

David Julien Barduson was born March 26, 1945, in West Bank Township, The son of Julien & Lila Barduson. He attended school in Appleton, graduating with the Class of 1963. He then attended the University of Minnesota, Morris, in 1964 and the University of Minnesota,

Minneapolis, in 1965 and 1966. He entered the United States Army on January 10, 1967, and left for overseas duty in Vietnam July 12, 1967. On the afternoon of February 24, 1968, David died in the service of his country while involved in hostile action near Phu Bai, Republic of Vietnam, with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. He was killed while operating the company radio for the commanding officer, who was also wounded as the time. His element was in command of a fire fight against a North Vietnamese unit, and was fired upon from ambush by the enemy.

During his service in Vietnam, David was the recipient of eight medals & badges which include the Bronze Star (for heroism), the Purple Star, National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal. Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Ribbon, Combat Infantry Badge and Parachute Badge.

Left to mourn for him were his parents, and 2 brothers: Truman and Gene.

Barduson Street is located on the very east edge of Appleton, next to Behl.

Q: Earlier this year, I went to a farm auction in West Texas, where I purchased a Daizy brand butter churn and six crocks of various sizes. I would like to know what they are worth. -- Bill, Clarksville, Tenn.

Butter Churn

A: The Daizy churn might be worth about $75 if it is in decent condition. The value of the crocks would depend on size, manufacturer and condition.

• • •Q: I have a tumbler that was made with Pittsburgh

Glass. I have been told that it is quite early. I love the tumbler and want to learn more about this type of glass. -- Susan, Naperville, Ill.

A: According to the 20th edition of Schroeder's Antiques Price Guide, window glass and hollow ware were being produced in the Pittsburgh area as early as 1797. Coal was used instead of wood to fire the large glass furnaces. At one time, more than 150 glass companies flourished in the region. During the Victorian era, dozens of free-blown, pattern-molded and flint glass were produced. I suspect your tumbler was probably made sometime during the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

• When making pastry, start with cold ingredients; when making cakes and cookies, the ingredients should be room tem-perature. If you stick with this rule, you’ll have lovely, flaky pastry and warm, fluffy cake!

• “Keep rolls or breads warm at the table with this OLD trick: Line your bread basket with foil, shiny side out. Drape a towel over that, and snug the bread inside.” -- G.R. in Wisconsin

• Want to know the secret to great biscuits? Handle the dough gen-tly. The more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. If you use a cutter, dip it in water for each press, and DON’T twist: You’ll create a seal on the edges that will hinder the biscuit from rising, making it denser.

• “Got a dome on your cake? Measure your ingredients well. Use a pan that is big enough. And if all else fails, use a thermometer to gauge whether your oven is too hot. These things more than any others will make a cake pop up in the center.” -- E.A. in Mississippi

• Here’s a fun way to spend a weekend morning: Making pan-cakes or waffles! Make a double (or triple, or more) batch, and make several varieties -- blueber-ries, chocolate chips, bananas, walnuts, strawberry, even pump-kin! Lay them out in layers and let cool. Stack separated with freezer paper in the freezer. They can be microwaved or toasted in minutes for an easy weekday breakfast.



Hello Everyone,

My name is James Gagner and I am the luckiest person walking, because I get to be the new Superintendent/Principal at the Big Stone City School District. I have been so fortunate to have so many wonderful educational opportunities in my life. It all started in Mentor, Minnesota where I graduated from a small school district similar to the one in Big Stone City. I received my Bachelors of Science Degree at the University of Minnesota Southwest in Marshall, MN. I also earned my Master Degree in School Leadership at the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I have taught at two great school districts: First at Wayne Elementary in Wayne, Nebraska and secondly at Baltic Public Schools in Baltic, South Dakota. I am currently serving and have also spent the previous 23 years of my life in the United States Air Force and the Air National Guards.

I really love working at the Big Stone City School District. We have had excellent community support in many projects we have undertaken this school year. Our teachers and staff members are top of the line. They are all very highly qualified for their respective jobs and they are very passionate about what they do. Lastly, I love the opportunities we are able to give our students. With the small class sizes, the one-on-one time is enhanced greatly and not to mention all of the learning we get to do outside the classroom with field trips and other educational opportunities our area offers.

I have two beautiful daughters: Tiffany Ann is married to Eric Sackett and they live in El Paso, Texas. Eric is serving our country in the United States Army. Ariel Grace is in Heaven as one of God's little Angels.
