What to do for

October

Inside: Continue to move outdoorplants inside. Put plants in a spotwhere they will get as much sun aspossible.

Check doors and windows fordrafts.

Change bedding, removing andstoring light, warm-weather blanketsin favor of heavier ones, down com-forters and other winter linens.

Be sure exteriorlights are workingand no bulbs areburned out. This isimportant for secu-rity - and for greet-ing trick-or-treaters.

Go through yourmedicine cabinetand throw out anyexpired medica-tions. Make sureyou have basic firstaid items and stockup now on cold and

flu season medicine.Outside: Plant spring blooming

bulbs. Consider naturalizing them(planting in groups of 12 or more) formasses of color. Remember to raisetender bulbs and tubers after planttops have withered.

Tidy up spent perennials and makea note of those old and large clumpsthat need to be lifted and divided.Replant divisions at the same depththey were originally growing, butspread them out or give some away.

Don’t cut down the seedheads ofpurple coneflower and black-eyedSusan until migratory birds haveflown through and dined on the seeds.

Mulches made from pine needles orground leaves can be used to topmulch. While keeping soil moist andweeds down, mulch slowly decompos-es to improve soil and nourish plants.Shred leaves by simply mowing overthem. Do it twice for a finer mulch.

Plant trees; planting now gives timefor root development before springgrowth period. Remember to watermonthly during the winter to helproot development.

To guard against insects and dis-ease, remove fruit debris and droppedleaves from beneath fruit trees.

Empty garden containers, planters,clay pots and barrels. Turn themupside down so they won’t fill withwater, freeze and split over winter.

Clean and store outdoor furniture,barbecue gear and gardening tools.

Do your last fertilizing of the yearafter Halloween.

Retire your lawn mower for the sea-son.

Have drip and sprinkler systemsblown out. Roll up hoses and storeinside for the winter.

Pick a sunny day to wash your win-dows so your winterized containerssitting on windowsills can get asmuch sun as possible. A significantamount of light is blocked by even athin layer of dirt and dust.

Dealing with unwanted insectsW

hen dealing with ants, boxelderbugs, millipedes and spiders preven-tion is the first order of control.Make sure all cracks crevices and

air infiltration around doors and windows areplugged up or filled in. Also using a generalpurpose insecticide around the outside of thehouse in the spring and fall paying specialattention to around doors, windows and otheropening such as water pipes, electrical linesetc. This should eliminate more than 90 per-cent of the problem.

Ants can be controlled with baits quiteeasily. Not all ant species can be controlledby baits and some baits work better thanothers. Sugar-loving ants are the easiest tocontrol. The most successful baits are thosethat contain a slow-acting stomach poisonso the foraging ant workers will take thebait back to the queen. Big-headed ants, lit-tle black ants and pavement ants prefergrease and protein; in addition, they willalso feed on fruit juices. They respond bestto protein/grease baits. I recommend baitswith boric acid or hydramethylnon as theiractive ingredient.

For most people, the boxelder bug needsno introduction. This insect is about one-half inch long as an adult, black in colorwith three red lines behind the head, a redline along each side and a diagonal line oneach wing. Boxelder bugs become a nui-sance in and around homes from fallthrough early spring. The boxelder bugoverwinters as an adult in protected placessuch as houses and other buildings, cracksor crevices in walls, doors, under windows,and around foundations--particularly on

south and west exposures.Boxelder bugs are prima-rily a nuisance pest,annoying residents bycrawling on exteriors andinside dwellings on warmfall and winter days.

Centipedes and milli-pedes are not insectsbecause they have morethan six legs, but they areclosely related inverte-brates. When outdoors,these invertebrates are

not noticed, but they may be consideredpests when they share living space with us.Both of these groups of invertebrates havelong, segmented bodies with either one pair(centipedes) or two pairs (millipedes) oflegs on each segment. The house centipedeis found throughout the United States. Thiscentipede can be found outside understones, boards or sticks or beneath moistleaf litter and other organic matter. Whendisturbed, centipedes move swiftly towarddarkened hiding places. When they arefound in homes, they are often found inmoist basements, damp closets and in bath-rooms. Centipedes require moist habitats.

Millipedes are similar to centipedes, buthave two pairs of legs per body segment.Millipedes are usually brown to blackish incolor. They usually coil up when disturbed,similar to the behavior exhibited by sow-bugs or pillbugs (a related invertebrate).Millipedes are usually restricted to moistplaces where they feed on organic matter.

In the fall, they may become a nuisancebecause they migrate away from feedingareas and invade homes. Because theycrawl along the ground, they are usuallyfound in lower floors and basements. Onceinside the home, they usually die due todesiccation, although in moist basements,they can survive longer.

Spiders can be divided into one of twogroups depending on how they capturetheir prey: hunting (sometimes known aswandering) spiders and web-building spi-ders. All spiders produce silk, but huntingspiders do not construct webs to capturefood. Instead, they rely on their quicknessand relatively good eyesight to capture prey.This family of spiders are the ones we seethe most in homes. Web-building spidersconstruct webs in rather quiet, undisturbedplaces to capture their food. The commonbrown house spider can be mistaken for thehobo spider. All spiders can bite but veryfew are poisonous.

The easiest way to get rid of these insectsinside is with a vacuum cleaner or glueboards although there are several goodinsecticides to use indoors and outdoorssuch a Tempo or Astro.

Compost happens: tips for making it happen rightBY LEE REICH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As the bumper sticker on mytruck reads, “CompostHappens.” Sometimes, however,it doesn’t happen fast enough.

That problem usually can betraced to some limiting factorin what a pile is fed, or toissues of moisture or aeration.

Feed Your PileCompost piles work most

quickly if the two most impor-tant foodstuffs — carbon andnitrogen — are in balance. Old,usually brown and dry plantmaterials, such as autumnleaves, straw, hay and sawdust,are rich in carbon. The olderthe plant material, the morecarbon it has. Nitrogen-richmaterials include succulent,green plant parts, such astomato stalks, vegetable wastefrom the kitchen and grass clip-pings, as well as manures.

As autumn approaches, anexcess of compostable materi-als rich in carbon build up, sothe way to speed up compostingof piles built in the next fewweeks is to add supplementalnitrogen. No need to balancenitrogen and carbon materialsexactly, because microorgan-isms will eventually do it foryou, albeit slowly if the excessis of carbon foods.

Chopping the raw materialsgives microorganisms moresurface area to “chew” on ini-

tially. A machete is a handy,cheap and satisfying tool forthis job.

Quench Your Pile’s ThirstAnother frequent cause of a

sluggish compost pile is insuffi-cient moisture. Sun and winddry out piles that are free-standing or enclosed by wiremesh. A solid-walled bin speedsthings along by holding inmoisture and generatedwarmth.

The cure, of course, is to addwater, and an effective way todo this is by adding raw materi-als in layers, watering eachlayer as the pile grows.

Let Your Pile BreatheThe opposite condition, too

much water, also slows com-posting. And soggy ingredientslead to another common com-posting problem — a pile thatgives off offensive odors orattracts flies. When too much

water gets into a compost pile,air is displaced and a new set ofmicroorganisms go to work,ones that work slowly and mal-odorously.

The cure for a waterloggedpile is aeration, accomplishedeither by stirring the pile, or byturning and rebuilding it.Rotating drum bins make itespecially easy to stir ingredi-ents.

Odors due to poor aerationalso result when piles containtoo many dense, succulent, rawmaterials, such as grass clip-pings or kitchen waste. Thesematerials compound the odorproblem because they are richin nitrogen, which is vented offas ammonia. In this case, turn-ing the pile and adding somefluffy, high-carbon material,such as straw, puts things inorder.

To monitor compost progressbeyond what your nose or timewill tell you, slide the longprobe of a compost thermome-ter deep into a pile.Temperatures in a pile that’sbeen built quickly in warmweather can soar to 140 degreesFahrenheit or higher. No heatindicates insufficient moisture,nitrogen or air, or too small apile.

Take the pile’s temperature:It has cooled down. Look at thepile: It’s mostly a dark brown,crumbly fudge. Smell it:Finished compost has a pleas-ant, woodsy aroma.

SHERIDAN — This is the third arti-cle in a series on the basics ofMedicare. Prior articles addressedqualifying for Medicare through yourwork history and an introduction tothe four major parts of Medicare cov-erage.

You’re turning 65, the magic age forMedicare. You’ve never been 65before. What do you have to do toenroll in Medicare? Will you beprompted to do so?

From the Medicare Official website: “Some people get Part A & Part B

automatically.You may qualify for Medicare Part

A (Hospital Insurance) and MedicarePart B (Medical Insurance) if one ofthe following applies to you:

• You are already getting benefitsfrom Social Security or the RailroadRetirement Board (RRB).

• You’re under 65 and have a disabil-ity.

• You have ALS (AmyotrophicLateral Sclerosis, also called LouGehrig's disease).

• You live in Puerto Rico and getbenefits from Social Security or theRRB.

If you're automatically enrolled,you'll get your red, white and blueMedicare card in the mail threemonths before your 65th birthday oryour 25th month of disability.

Some people need to sign up for PartA & Part B.

You need to sign up for Part A andPart B if:

• You aren't getting Social Securityor Railroad Retirement Board bene-fits (for example, because you're stillworking).

• You qualify for Medicare becauseyou have End-Stage Renal Disease(ESRD).

• You live in Puerto Rico and wantto sign up for Part B (you automati-cally get Part A). You must alreadyhave Part A to apply for Part B.”

If you need to sign up, you have

seven months in which to enroll forMedicare: three months prior to yourbirthday month, during your birthdaymonth and three months after yourbirthday month. This is known asyour enrollment period.

You enroll in Medicare through theSocial Security Administration. Youmay enroll by telephone, via theInternet, or by visiting the localSocial Security Administration office.Once enrolled, further dialogue onMedicare is with the Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services(CMS).

Provided that you have your 40 qual-ifying credits through your employ-ment history when you turn 65, youare automatically entitled toMedicare hospital insurance coveredunder Medicare Part A. You have paidinto this hospital insurance throughFICA-Medicare taxes during youremployment history provided thatyou and your employers have paidinto the government trust. If you donot have the 40 qualifying credits atage 65 you have the option to pur-chase Medicare Part A coverage,secure private health insurance cov-erage or opt to continue working toearn the number of qualifying cred-its.

During your enrollment period, youmust enroll in Medicare medicalinsurance (Part B) and Medicare pre-scription drug coverage (Part D) toavoid penalties. There is a monthlypremium for these two parts ofMedicare coverage. In 2014, themonthly premium for Medicare PartB was $104.90 per month. Prescriptioncoverage through Medicare Part D isoffered by private companies throughMedicare and rates vary dependingon the coverage you choose.

Even if you are only taking vita-mins when you turn 65, you will wantto enroll in the prescription drug cov-erage offered under Part D.Enrollment in Medicare parts B andD during your enrollment period iscritical. If you miss your enrollmentperiod, you will be assessed penalties.

After moving to Banner in 95,I spent four years in the U.S.Navy. After returning homein 1955, I spent a lot of time

exploring the Bighorn Mountainswith my good friend Jerry Reedthat lived in Story. We were flatlanders originally from WestonCounty. With horses, we acquaint-ed ourselves with the differentstreams, lakes, trails and terrain.Jerry did not make the followingtrip with me.

It was the middle of August1988. We had unlocked the fourhorses at theHunter Corralswest of Buffalo.Our destinationwas FlorenceLake deep inthe Cloud PeakWildernessarea. It took usall day to makethe trip. We didhave time tocatch a mess offish that wasdinner thatevening.

We were camped there for abouta week and there were only twoparties that passed our camp.There is a lot more traffic upthere today.

We were not very far fromCloud Peak, Black Tooth andBomber Mountains. BomberMountain gets its name from abomber that crashed there inWWII. Most of the wreckage hasbeen carried off. All of the crewperished.

When it came time to leave, wepacked up the pack horses andsaddled our horses. We had madeanother successful trip and seensome beautiful wilderness coun-try.

The horses as usual were anx-ious to leave the high country andget back to their friends at alower elevation. They were a lotlivelier and made more timegoing down the mountain ratherthan going up.

When we arrived at a tributaryof the North Fork of Clear Creek,I stopped to catch some fish fordad.

After filling my wicker creelwith pan sized trout, I was head-ing back to where the horses weretied. I was crossing a log in somedown timber, when sticking out ofthe brush something caught myeye. I jumped down to investi-gate. I was surprised to see it wasa buffalo skull.

I had always thought that thebuffalo was a plains animal.What was this buffalo doing uphere so high in the mountains?Perhaps the prairie country hadexperienced a drought. Maybethe buffalo had migrated to themountains every summer. Therewas a lot of grass and it was verycool up on the mountain in thesummer time.

At any rate, this particular buf-falo had died a long time ago.The skull was starting to fossilizein places. The buffalo had beenalmost exterminated a hundredyears before I found this skull.

The buffalo skull has a goodhome now. I recently gave theskull and other artifacts to mygrandson. He is proud of themand has them on display at hishome.

Q&A: What are students in Colorado

protesting?DENVER (AP) — A fight in Colorado over how

United States’ history is taught has pitted the newconservative majority on a suburban Denver schoolboard against students and teachers who accuse theboard of censorship.

The students and teachers are protesting possiblechanges to the new Advanced Placement historycourse. Hundreds have turned out to demonstrate,holding signs saying “There is nothing more patri-otic than protest” and “Teach us the truth.”

School board members say they want to makesure the history course, accused of having an anti-American bias by some conservatives, is balanced.They say students are being used as pawns by teach-ers, who are upset about a new merit pay system.

Here’s a look at the issue that has galvanizedColorado’s second-largest school district:

WHAT SPARKED THE CHANGES TO THECLASSES IN THE FIRST PLACE?

For years, high school teachers have complainedthat Advanced Placement history classes — elec-tives which are meant to help high school studentsprepare for college— were not challenging enough.They said they were covering so many topics super-ficially and were more focused on helping studentsmemorize facts and pass the test to earn collegecredit than actually preparing them to go to college.

A group of college professors and high schoolteachers were appointed in 2006 by the CollegeBoard, which administers AP exams, to redesignthe course. The course plan was made public in 2012and this is the first year it is being used in schoolsacross the country.

HOW WERE HISTORY CLASSES CHANGED?The focus of the course has shifted from cram-

ming in as many facts as possible to emphasizingexamination of historical documents and discus-sion about the nation’s history organized aroundthemes such as “politics and power” and “identity.”

For example, the course gives more attention tothe period before Christopher Columbus’ arrival —a period rushed through before as just a “prelude”to colonization — as well as to slavery and womento incorporate new research, said University ofColorado history professor Fred Anderson, whohelped in the first round of the redesign. He saidteachers have more time to cover these topicsbecause they no longer have to cover as much minu-tiae, like making students memorize dates of minorhistorical events.

WHAT DO CRITICS SAY?Some conservatives like the National Review’s

Stanley Kurtz say the course was influenced by amovement in academia to de-emphasize the UnitedStates’ uniqueness and treat it as one nation amongmany, with an eye toward promoting a less aggres-sive foreign policy.

The Colorado school board member who proposedreviewing the course, Julie Williams, says thecourse has an emphasis on “American-bashing” andsays the framework omits important historical fig-ures like Benjamin Franklin and Martin LutherKing, Jr. and events like the Boston Tea Party. Butothers she says are omitted are mentioned as possi-ble choices for student essays on the test, includingThomas Jefferson and John Adams.

The College Board says the framework isn’t meantto be an exhaustive list of events and people to becovered because teachers generally know which fig-ures to include and because curriculum standardsvary among states. For example, the Black Panthersare suggested for a discussion about “attacks onpostwar liberalism,” but the instructions state thattheir specific mention doesn’t mean that they aremore important than King or Rosa Parks, who isn’tmentioned.

Respiratory virus seen in 4 deaths; role unclearNEW YORK (AP) — Four people who were infected with

a virus causing severe respiratory illness across the coun-try have died, but what role the virus played in the deathsis unclear, health officials said Wednesday.

A 10-year-old Rhode Island girl died last week after suf-fering both a bacterial infection and infection fromenterovirus 68, Rhode Island health officials said. Thevirus is behind a spike in harsh respiratory illnesses inchildren since early August.

The virus was also found in three other patients whodied in September, according to the U.S. Centers forDisease Control and Prevention. The CDC declined to

release any other details about those deaths.It’s not clear what role the virus may have played in the

four deaths, officials from Rhode Island and the CDC say.The Rhode Island child’s death was the result of a bacte-

rial infection, Staphylococcus aureus, that hit the girl intandem with the virus, Rhode Island officials said in astatement.

They called it “a very rare combination,” and stressedthat most people who catch the virus experience littlemore than a runny nose and low-grade fever.

The child was in good health before she developed severebreathing problems and her parents called 911, said Dr.

Michael Fine, director of the Rhode Island Department ofHealth. She was taken by ambulance to a Providence hos-pital, where she died.

“Very quickly after they got to the hospital, thingsbecame dire,” Fine said at a news conference.

This enterovirus germ is not new. It was first identifiedin 1962 and has caused clusters of illness before. Becauseit’s not routinely tested for, it may have spread widely inprevious years without being identified in people who justseemed to have a cold.

This year, the virus has gotten more attention because ithas been linked to hundreds of severe illnesses.

Facebook apologizes to

drag queens forname policy

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook is apologiz-ing to drag queens and the transgendercommunity for deleting accounts that useddrag names like Lil Miss Hot Mess ratherthan legal names such as Bob Smith.

The world’s biggest online social networkcaught heat recently when it deleted sever-al hundred accounts belonging to self-described drag queens, other performersand members of the lesbian, gay, bisexualand transgender community. Facebook haslong required its users to go by their “realnames” on the site for security purposes, to

stand out from other social networks andso it can better target advertising to people.Now, the company says the spirit of its pol-icy doesn’t mean a person’s legal name but“the authentic name they use in real life.”

“For Sister Roma, that’s Sister Roma. ForLil Miss Hot Mess, that’s Lil Miss HotMess,” Chris Cox, Facebook’s vice presi-dent of product wrote in a blog postWednesday.

Though the real names policy isn’tchanging, the way Facebook enforces itmight.

C4 THE SHERIDAN PRESS www.thesheridanpress.com SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2014

Do we live in a tolerant society? Weappear more tolerant than ever.We pride ourselves that we havemade great progress toward a

society that accepts and makes room forall. Ours is a new kind of tolerance,however, bearing little resemblance tohow it was once understood. It is, as aresult, a fragile thing that could easily

give way to greatintolerance.

To see this wemust contrast itwith the old.Tolerance used to beunderstood as thepermitting of othersto believe, practiceand even teach ideaswe thought werewrong. This has notbeen a commonpractice and, inmany parts of theworld, still isn’t.

Why not? It’s simple, really. Ideas have consequences and are

never purely private. If you teachyour kids stealing is OK, I will soon

need to build a wall around my gar-den. So we all have a stake in whatothers believe and teach. And yet inthe West the idea gradually gainedground that we ought to let othersfind their own way, even if it waswrong, because of a respect for thedignity and freedom of the humanperson. This view of the person was adeeply Christian one, even if thatfoundation slowly faded into the back-ground.

When foundations are removed,buildings generally fall down. Thishas indeed been the fate of the oldidea of tolerance. Its replacement isfounded not on a shared moral convic-tion about the dignity of humans buton the general assumption that thereare no universal moral truths. I letyou believe what you like in moralmatters for the same reason I let youprefer coffee to tea: they are bothequally a matter of taste and no tasteis better than another. Incidentally,this view comes with a nice payoff. Weall become legislators of our ownmoral law, naturally finding a happyfit between what is moral and what

we desire.Should this shift trouble us? At the

very least, we ought to recognize thenew tolerance as a luxury of a secureand affluent society.

I am happy to do my thing and letyou do yours as long as we’re bothable to get what we want. But whenpressure is applied, when it starts tolook like the freedom of some isthreatening the interests — whethersocial, political or especially econom-ic — of others, then we are going tostart asking ourselves why we oughtto be tolerant. The relativism underly-ing the new tolerance isn’t going tostand in our way. In a famous clausefrom Casey v. Planned Parenthood,the Supreme Court wrote, “At theheart of liberty is the right to defineone's own concept of existence, ofmeaning, of the universe, and of themystery of human life.”

When push comes to shove, what isto stop us from deciding the mysteryof some human lives is why they areeven permitted to continue to exist?

Gluten timing does not prevent celiac diseaseBY MARILYNN MARCHIONEAP CHIEF MEDICAL WRITER

Two studies give disappointing news forparents looking for a way to prevent celiacdisease in babies at higher risk for itbecause of family history. Neither breast-feeding nor timing the start of gluten-con-taining foods makes a difference inwhether a child develops the problem,researchers found.

There is no early window of opportunityto help sensitize a baby to gluten, anddelaying its start until 1 year of age justbriefly postpones the onset of symptoms,the studies found.

“We don’t have a recipe to prevent it rightnow,” said Dr. Alessio Fasano, director ofthe Center for Celiac Research andTreatment at Massachusetts General

Hospital. He helped lead one of the studies,which are in this week’s New EnglandJournal of Medicine.

Doctors stressed that babies should notget any solid food before 4 to 5 months ofage and that breast-feeding is still good formany other reasons.

Gluten sensitivity or intolerance havebecome dietary buzzwords, but celiac dis-ease is more than that — it’s an autoim-mune disorder triggered by gluten, a sub-stance in wheat, barley and rye. It affectscells in the small bowel and can cause pain,diarrhea and other symptoms. Forunknown reasons, it’s on the rise and isnow four to five times more common thanit was 50 years ago.

The studies tested food timing as a way tolower risk in babies with a close relativewho has the disease.
