• Water will stay 9 days in the atmosphere; 2 weeks in rivers; 10 years in the largest lakes; 3,000 years in the ocean; up to 10,000 years in deep groundwater; and 10,000 years in the polar icecap.

• Water onEarth acts likewater in a pan: turn the stoveburner on under a pan that’s dry, and the pan will scorch and melt. Turn the burner on under a pan of water, and the water absorbs the heat and keeps the pan in good condition.

Publisher's Corner by Sean Athey

Well Hello My Friends!Just where do these summers go? Can

you believe our young ones are heading back to school already? Lynette and I are still getting used to the fact we don't have

kids in school... or in the house anymore! But, trust me, I will do my best to acclimate!

We have had a great time working on our back-yard garden this summer. It is a real relaxation time for me, helping those little seeds grow into beautiful plants that provide wholesome treats and put jars of delicious food on our shelves for the in-

evitable winter that is waiting for us. This year we tried some eggplants and they are turning out wonderfully. Since it is new to us, we have been researching many recipes to see what we can do with them. One of the more appetizing sounding ideas... although not too healthy... is to batter the slices and cook them like a fried green tomatoes, which we never had done before until an early frost left with bunch to do something with.

I have seen several Farmer's Markets across the area and know that there are some people out their that really know what they are doing as far as gardening. The tips and tricks abound when you talk to them... I really should write some of them down! One interesting thing I remember, was a older gentleman who swears by ground up egg shells and coffee grounds. He puts them in the hole before planting tomatoes - says it works wonders.... next year, I'm trying it.

Well, like I always say (and some other people) a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out some of our garden photos on page 6...

Noteworthy InventionsROY PLUNKETT

• On April 6, 1938, chemist Dr. Roy Plunkett wasexperimentingwithcoolantgasesusedinrefrigeratorsand air conditioners at the DuPont laboratories inNewJersey.Fromthefreezerheremovedatankofexperimental gas he’d been working with, calledtetrafluoroethylene.Heexpected tofindacontainerof very cold gas, but when he turned the valve to let some gas out, nothing happened.

• He weighed the tank, which showed it should befullofgas.Hecheckedthevalve,butitworkedfine.Perplexed, he cut the tank in half to find outwhathappened to the gas. He was surprised to see the gas hadcongealedintoasolid,waxysubstance.

• Plunkett ran some tests. The new material wasimpervious to chemicals and heat; it did not absorb things and nothing absorbed it; it was colorless and odorless;andithadanextremelyhighmeltingpoint.

• Plunkett had accidentally discovered what ispopularlyknownastheslipperiestsubstanceonEarth,equivalenttotwoweticecubesrubbingagainsteachother in a warm room. The molecules of the substance are some of the largest molecules known.

• Three years after Plunkett’s accidental discovery,the process of manufacturing the substance was patented.Fouryearsafterthat,itbegantobesoldonthemarket,mostlyformilitaryapplicationsatfirst.

• Fifty years later Plunkett was inducted into the

Inventor’s Hall of Fame. Today the product hashundreds of uses. It’s used on windshield wiper blades, it’s in fingernail polish, it forms a scratch-resistant coating on eyeglasses, it covers cookware, it protects fabrics, and it covers lightbulbs to make them shatterproof. The list is nearly endless. What is it commonly known as? Answer on page 11

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: You recently updated readers about ways to help pets, including volunteering at shelters. An-other place to volunteer is at an assisted-living, or senior-care, facility. Many residents have their pets and sometimes aren’t able to exercise them enough, and they appreciate someone to take their pets on walks or to help bathe them. There is even a need of “babysitting” if the owner goes in for a procedure. -- David P., via email

DEAR DAVID: That’s a great idea! While not all assisted-living facilities permit pets, many do, since they often have residential facilities in which the residents have varying levels of independence.

Most facilities have a volunteer coordinator; if not, there’s always an activities director. Contact information for a facility near you can be found on the Web or in the local phone book.

Volunteerism RevisitedBy Sam Mazzotta

According to AARP’s Create the Good organization, senior-care facilities have a great need for volunteers at many levels, from simple visits to say hello to more involved care or admin-istrative assistance. To volunteer, you generally will need to pass a background check and follow the facility’s regulations about visits and volunteer activities, including pet care. You can learn more at www.createthegood.org.

If there isn’t a pet-friendly senior-care facility in your area, you still can reach out to seniors in your community. Talk to seniors that you know in the neighborhood on a regular basis to

make sure things are going OK, and ask if they ever need free pet-sitting from time to time. Or, look for senior-care organiza-tions locally and ask if their clients have pet-care needs.

• It was noted 18th-century German scientist, philosopher and satirist Georg Christoph Lichten-

berg who made the following sage observation: “It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebody’s beard.”

• Sometimes looking at local ordinances can make you wonder what inspired lawmakers to pass such laws. For instance, in Florida it’s illegal to wear noth-ing but liquid latex while in a public place.

• The lyrics to that favorite Irish ballad “O Danny Boy” were actually written by an Englishman.

• Famed comedic actor Charlie Chaplin was born

by Samantha Weaver

in England, but at the age of 19 he came to the United States as a performer with the prestigious Fred Karno company. Interestingly, Stan Laurel, of Laurel and Hardy fame, emigrated to the U.S. at the same time, as part of the same company -- as Chaplin’s under-study.

• In a recent survey of pet owners, nearly half of all respondents said that the best description of their relationship with their pet would be “soul mate.”

• Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediter-ranean Sea, also is an autonomous region of Italy. If you ever decide to vacation there, keep an eye out for “casu marzu,” a cheese that’s produced locally. Wheth-er you’re keeping an eye out in order to sample it or

avoid it depends on whether or not you have an appetite for adventurous eating. The makers of “casu marzu” deliberately introduce into the process the larvae of a particular cheese fly. Though the cheese is sometimes cleaned out before it’s served, it’s often presented in its original state, wriggling maggots and all.

• Soaking window decals with baby wipes will soften the adhesive, allowing you to remove a decal from glass more easily.

• “Potty training can be stressful for both child and parent. We tried many things, but in the end, you have to wait for the child to want to train. One thing that helped keep our daughter motivated was a sticker chart. Be bought all kinds of stickers, and whenever she used the potty, she would get to choose a sticker to put on the chart. We would remark on how many stickers she

had and the variety, which made her feel successful!” -- D.R. in Iowa

• “Last week, we found my son’s favorite sippy cup half-filled with sour milk under the couch. I washed it very well with hot, soapy water, but it still smelled bad. I stuffed the cup with newspaper pieces and screwed the top back on. The newspaper absorbed the smell. It took about a week, but it’s back in use.” -- T.L. in Texas

• “My pup loves to ride in the car, and my car seats love his hair, too. Seems like it’s impossible to get the hair out! A vacuum didn’t work, so my neighbor sug-gested I use dish gloves. Just put a latex rubber glove on your hand and wipe over seats. A very lightly damped sponge can work as well.” -- P.I. in Washington

• Lotion scent too strong? Purchase a pump bottle of unscented lotion, and remove about a third to a small bottle or even a plastic zipper-top bag. Add your scented lotion, and mix well by shaking the bottle or stirring with a long stick. The scent will be diluted, and you can always add more scented lotion or top off with the excess unscented lotion.
