TIDBITS® SAYS, “GET

A LONG LITTLE DOGGIE!”by Patricia L. Cook

This Tidbits looks at the noble, fierce little dogs bred to hunt badgers. Dachshund means “bad-ger hound” in German. Affectionately called “wiener dogs,” they can be very comical.• Dachshunds are good watchdogs because of their loud fierce barks, which, of course, can be annoying at times! They are loved by children because of their size and distinctive cuteness. Even though dachshunds are not known for their ease of training, they are very popular. Some say they are low-slung hounds with big attitudes! • Dachshunds are exceedingly loyal, pro-tecting their owners in all circumstances, even when confronted by dogs five or more times their size. They are known to be tough, sweet, cuddly, affectionate, courageous, curious and lively and are always ready to make you laugh. • Illustrations from as far back as the 1500s depict dogs similar to dachshunds. Some historians believe that dachshunds have been around since ancient Egypt. However, the most widely held story of the funny little “hot dogs” origins is that they were developed in Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were bred to be dogs with excellent digging skills and the ability to chase rabbits, foxes and even more formidable animals such as boars and badgers. • Traditionally, dachshunds have been seen as a symbol of Germany. During World War I, they were not wanted by the people of England or the United States. Americans be-gan calling the dogs “liberty pups,” and politi-cal cartoonists drew dachshunds to ridicule the Germans. Some dislike for the dogs lingered during World War II but was not as widespread. Their popularity from 1930 to 1940, before and during World War II, actually advanced from 28th to sixth. After the big wars, love for dachshunds became the predominant emotion.

A LONG LITTLE DOGGIE (continued):

• While the most popular dachshunds are black and tan or solid tan (red) in color, many different colors for the breed exist. The reds can vary from strawberry blonde to deep au-burn; there are chocolate, crème and gray coats as well. Some interesting colorations are brindles, dapple and piebalds. There are three varieties of dachshund that can be any of the colors: wire-haired, smooth and long-haired. • The following story has never been con-firmed, but it makes for great reading about hot dogs: In 1852, the butcher’s guild in Frankfurt, Germany, developed a smoked, spicy sausage in a casing that resembled the low-riding Ger-man Dachshund. It was dubbed the “little-dog” or “dachshund sausage.” Legend says that car-toonist Tad Dorgan was inspired by vendors at a 1901 polo match in New York who offered “red-hot dachshund sausages” to fans in the grandstands. Dorgan drew a smiling dachshund in a long bun for one of his cartoons. He couldn’t spell dachshund, so his caption read “hot dog!” • There are many famous people who have loved their pet dachshunds. The first (and maybe only) dachshunds to live in the White House be-longed to U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Ac-tually, according the New York Times, Septem-ber 26, 1893 edition, the dogs were a gift for Mrs. Cleveland from the Unites States Consul in Bre-men, Germany. They were sent on a 4,000-mile (6,437-km) journey to live at the nation’s capital.

Press Release:Big Changes Ahead for California’s Smog Check ProgramHemet, CA, September 10, 2012:2013 is almost here, and ushers in a new era for the California smog check program. This will also bring additional confusion for consumers.Beginning January 1, 2013, most 1999 and older vehicles will be directed to a STAR certified station. Whereas, for the past several years certain vehicles were directed to either Test-Only or Gold Shield stations, and all non-directed vehicles were free to pick any station, that will change for older vehicles effective January 1st.

As of this point in time the State has not authorized any STAR certified stations. Current plans call for stations that have applied and that meet all the required criteria to be notified in the mid-November through December period.The California STAR smog check program, passed by Assembly Member Mike Eng, is California’s newest program to reduce vehicle air pollution. STAR stations have been identified by the Bureau of Automotive Repair as the highest performing stations in market in both reduction of mobile source air pollution, and consumer protection. All consumers requiring a smog check should take advantage of STAR knowing they will receive the highest quality in the market.Contact:Rick HammondValley Smog Test & Valley Auto Registrations951-652-8987rick@hemetsmogtest.comwww.hemetsmogtest.com

BLACK BEAN AND BROCCOLI-STUFFED POTATOES

4 large russet baking potatoes, scrubbed1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed1 (8 ounce) box, frozen broccoli florets, thawed1 1/2 cups mild or medium prepared salsa1 tablespoon olive oil1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice1 tablespoon chili powder1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese4 tablespoons sour cream (optional)

1. Prick potatoes with a fork 4 to 5 times per side. Microwave for 5 minutes, turn over, microwave an additional 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and cover with a clean dishtowel to allow potatoes to continue to steam. This provides for fluffier potatoes.2. While the potatoes are cooking, combine black beans, broccoli florets, salsa and 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, salt and black pepper in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving one corner folded back to allow any steam to vent. Cook on high for 5 to 7 minutes.3. Place potatoes on a large plate. Cut top of the potatoes lengthwise with a knife. With a towel, push ends of the potatoes together to split open. Fluff the cooked potatoes with a fork.4. In another small bowl, combine olive oil, juice, the remaining 1/2 table-spoon of chili powder, and the 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil mixture over the potatoes and stir gently to combine. Spoon the black bean mixture over the top. Top with the shredded cheddar.5. Microwave the potatoes on high until the cheese is bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Top with a dollop of sour cream or additional salsa, if desired. Serve immediately. Series 4.

Q: I’ve loved Tim Mathe-son since I first saw him in “Ani-mal House” all those years ago. Can you tell me what he’s doing now? -- Tracey P., Allentown, Pa.

A: You and me both, Tracey. Tim is as busy as ever, directing and co-starring in the CW’s “Hart of Dixie” (airing Tuesday nights at 8/7c), and he couldn’t be happier in this lat-est gig. He told me recently what he likes so much about the show: “We’re this crazy, totally disparate group of people in this small South-ern town -- kind of a magical town -- and despite all our differences and conflicts and strong feelings, we all somehow manage to get along.“Our characters have tremendous flaws and failings. Nobody’s perfect. But we somehow manage to get through our day -- and life -- without crashing and burning. That’s what we all kind of hope for, and I think there’s a little bit of those flaws and failings in everyone. And the show takes you someplace that you don’t expect and in ways that you don’t expect. It’s tre-mendous fun, and it’s very sincere.”

Q: Is it true that Christina Agu-ilera and Cee Lo Green are leaving “The Voice”? -- Gian W., via e-mail

A: Yes, but only temporarily. Usher and Shakira are coming to the show this spring as coaches, with Christina and Cee Lo returning next fall. The de-cision was made to offer contestants varied coaching styles and to accom-modate the coaches’ tour schedules.

Q: I saw Adam Ant on an enter-tainment television show recent-ly, but I only caught the tail end of it. Can you tell me what he’s do-ing? -- Dale W., Atlantic City, N.J.

A: Adam has a new album, “Adam Ant is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner’s Daugh-ter,” which is due to hit stores this January, and he is touring the U.S. for the first time in 17 years.

A LONG LITTLE DOGGIE (continued):

• Pablo Picasso painted many canvases and even a lunch plate with the likeness of his dachshund, Lump. Picasso actually painted a copy of a famous painting by Velazquez, called “Las Meninas.” In Picasso’s version, a large mas-tiff is replaced by a much smaller dog, Lump! (Lump is pronounced loomp in German and means “rascal,” appropriate for a dachshund!)• John Wayne’s family had a dachs-hund named Blackie who became a hero when he awakened Wayne’s wife during a house fire in 1958 with his tenacious bark. • The first dachshund in England was owned by Queen Victoria in 1839. Her husband, German Prince Albert, gave her the dog as a gift and soon brought more of the puppies to the coun-try. The breed quickly gained popularity and was recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1877. • Gergweis, Germany, the “Dachshund Capital of the World,” once had so many dachs-hunds that they outnumbered people two to one. They were used as a tourist attraction!• All three “Toy Story” movies have had a “Slinky” dachshund in them who has been a big hit with kids and adults alike. The second movie actually had a real dachshund puppy in it, Bust-er, who helped save a toy taken to a yard sale. • There are some exciting “wiener dog” events around the world that draw crowds for fun and laughter as the popular little dogs entertain. Even when dachshunds don’t in-tend to entertain, they are entertaining! • The 20th Annual Weiner Walk and Dachshund Picnic was held at Winskill Park in Tsawwassen, British Columbia in August. Some years have seen as many as 300 dog lov-ers and their canines. The event is put on by the Western Dachshund Club and includes walks around the park, a costume parade and con-test, contests for best trick, longest dog, oldest dog and more. As could be expected, there are drinks and snacks for sale, including hot dogs!• Dachshund Races are fun events that can be found in numerous places. Dachshund lovers as well as those who just want to enjoy the comedy of the sight gather to watch the large races that are part of the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nation-als in Buda, Texas; Los Alamitos, California; Findlay, Ohio; and San Diego, California. If you missed these big events this year, don’t worry, the finals are held prior to the Port of San Di-ego Big Bay Balloon Parade in December be-fore the Holiday Bowl. The finalists get to be in the parade on the Wienerschnitzel float. (Wie-nerschnitzel is a chain of hot dog restaurants

that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011.) • The Dachshund Club of Ameri-ca opposes “wiener racing,” because many of the events precede greyhound races, which are abusive to greyhounds. Also, rac-ing can lead to back injuries in dachshunds.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

THE EVERGLADES

Usually when thinking of “wilderness,” we have visions of thick green forests with tall trees, but Everglades National Park is a bit different. It is the largest wilderness area in the United States east of the Mississippi River. • Everglades National Park, established in 1947, protects over 1.5 million acres (607,028 ha) of land and water. It is the third largest national park in the continental United States, behind Yellowstone (2nd) and Death Valley (1st). • Marjorie Stoneman Douglas came up with the phrase “river of grass” in a publica-tion that she authored in 1947. “The Ever-glades: River of Grass” was a guide that raised awareness of the Everglades and helped the public to recognize that the area was not just the “proverbial swamp” that many considered it to be. It technically is a river, flowing south-west through Florida at the slow pace of about a quarter mile per day. She was a leader in pro-moting the Everglades to national park status. Twenty-two years later, she helped to found the “Friends of the Everglades” conservation organization.• The elevation in the Everglades ranges from sea level to 20 feet (6 m) above sea level. The top spot is on a shell mound made by Na-tive Americans located on the Gulf Coast side of the park. • The original size of the Everglades was much larger than the area protected by the Na-tional Park Service today. Years ago it spanned

I always thought that feeding him teeth-cleaning dog treats was enough to keep his teeth healthy, but the veterinarian said nDEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog, “Parker,” had two teeth removed o. Can you let your readers know that their pet’s teeth need regular brushing and periodic checkups at the vet’s office? -- Sharon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

DEAR SHARON: Dogs and cats can get gingivitis, periodontal disease, suffer from tooth loss and be at risk for serious health problems if infections enter the bloodstream. While treats, chew toys and other products that promote pets’ dental health are fine to use, they are not a replacement for brushing -- at least once a week -- and an annual dental checkup and tooth cleaning. Purchase a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste at the pet store or vet’s office. Human toothbrushes and mint-flavored toothpaste will

not do. Pet toothbrushes often are shaped to fit over one finger so that you can hold your pet’s head still and gently lift his or her lip in order to reach the gums.Place a small dab of pet toothpaste onto the brush, cradle your pet’s head, and lift his or her lip upward (or downward, if brushing the lower teeth). Brush by starting at the gumline and brushing gently down over the teeth (or upward, if brushing the lower teeth). Be patient and give your pet lots of encouragement.Many pets resist having their teeth brushed, so again, be patient and gentle, and give lots of praise and a treat at the end of each session.

¥ On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Congress au-thorizes construction and administration of the first American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the first commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. His first fleet consisted of seven ships: two 24-gun frigates, two 14-gun brigs and three schooners.

¥ On Oct. 12, 1786, a lovesick Thomas Jefferson com-poses the first of many romantic letters to a married woman named Maria Cosway. In 1789, his letters grew less frequent. She continued to write to him and vented her frustration at his growing aloofness. After her husband died, Cosway moved to a village in Italy to open a convent school for girls.

¥ On Oct. 11, 1793, the death toll from a yellow fe-ver epidemic in Philadelphia hits 100. By the time it ended, 5,000 people were dead. A vaccine prevents yellow fever in much of the world, though 20,000 people still die every year from the disease.

¥ On Oct. 14, 1944, German Gen. Erwin Rommel, nick-named “the Desert Fox,” is given the option of facing a public trial for treason, as a co-conspirator in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, or taking cyanide. He chose the latter. The German government gave Rom-mel a state funeral. His death was attributed to war wounds.

¥ On Oct. 8, 1956, New York Yankees right-hander Don Larsen pitches the first no-hitter in the history of the World Series. Even better, it was a perfect game -- that is, there were no runs, no hits and no errors, and no batter reached first base.

¥ On Oct. 10, 1985, the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro reaches a dramatic climax when U.S. Navy F-14 fighters intercept an Egyptian airliner attempting to fly the Palestinian hijackers to free-dom. On Oct. 7, four heavily armed terrorists had hi-jacked the Achille Lauro and 320 crewmembers and 80 passengers.

¥ On Oct. 9, 1992, a 28-pound bowling-ball-sized meteorite lands on an orange 1980 Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, N.Y. Scientists have determined that it came from the inner edge of the main asteroid belt in space, between Jupiter and Mars.

To Your Good Health By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please provide information on essential tremor? Thanks. -- D.C.

ANSWER: When people unfamiliar with essential tremor see a person with it, they immediately assume that the person is quite nervous. The shaky hands are a giveaway. It’s not “nerves” that are causing the shakiness; it’s essential tremor. A glitch in one of the brain’s movement-control centers has occurred. Katharine Hepburn suffered from essential tremor. Not only did her hands shake, but so did her head and her voice.Essential tremor is a common condition. Its other name is familial tremor, indicating that it runs in families. Most affected people can find other relatives who have it.Trembling hands make it near impossible to bring a spoonful of soup to the mouth. Handwriting often degenerates into a scrawl. Buttoning a shirt or coat becomes a herculean task.Alcohol abolishes the tremor for a short time. Alcohol can’t be used as a treatment. Other medicines, like propranolol (Inderal) and primidone (Mysoline), offer effective control. For seriously disabling tremors, deep-brain stimulation can put an end to them.People can help control shaking hands by holding their elbows firmly against the body when using their hands for a fine task.Everyone with essential tremor needs to make the acquaintance of the International Essential Tremor Foundation at 888-387-3667 (toll-free) or online at www.essentialtremor.org. The foundation is a reliable source of information and can keep you up to date on new treatments.

THE EVERGLADES (continued):

form Lake Okeechobee in central Florida all the way south to Florida Bay. Only 25 percent of the historic Everglades is in the park. • There are 15 endangered species within the park boundaries. Sea turtles, crocodiles and West Indian Manatees are among the protected animals.• Deeply interwoven in the park are tower-ing palm trees, endless marshes, tropical fauna, dense mangrove stands, alligator holes and much more. All of these are important in main-taining the integrity of the Everglades. • The mangrove forests cover an esti-mated 469,000 acres (189798 ha) in the state of Florida, with much of that within the protected Everglades. Mangrove roots and branches are essential for the marine animals of the region. The roots provide protection for fish, crusta-ceans and shellfish to raise their young. The branches are nesting areas for many beautiful coastal birds such as roseate spoonbills and brown pelicans. • Everglades National Park is a wonderful place to explore, but a knowledgeable guide is a great person to have along for unfamiliar tour-ists. As reported in recent years, there are not only animals that have been there for centuries that can be dangerous, but there are also some invasive species that are wreaking havoc on the area. • For years there have been stories of people spotting Burmese pythons in the Ever

The American Geriatrics Society Foundation has created a new website just for seniors: Health in Aging. Everything on the site has been written by experts in senior health. That’s good to know, be-cause half of us over the age of 65 have at least three chronic medical conditions. Here are a few highlights: --The A-to-Z glossary gives easy-to-understand information on a whole alphabet of health condi-tions.--You’ll find information about problems that come with aging, news on the latest information about aging and a link on finding a geriatrics health care professional.--One of the most important sections is on preventing drug interactions.

ently on seniors, and it’s not always possible to know exactly how an individual will respond to a drug, because most clinical trials are done on healthy, young adults. We seniors have a different metabolism, less muscle mass, and age-related variables that can change the rate of absorption. Often, we have multiple medical conditions that can change how a drug will work, especially in combination.--When it comes to exploring the different types of living arrangements open to us when we need help with daily living, the site outlines assisted liv-ing, home care, nursing homes and community-based help, such as adult day care.--Guidelines for making our wishes known are written in easy-to-understand language with all the legal terms explained for advance directives (living wills, durable power of attorney for health care and Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment), end-of-life care, guardianship and informed consent.Health in Aging (HealthinAging.org) is worth exploring and saving for future reference.See Back Page For Answers
