This week Tidbits tackles some extraordinary football stadiums where history has been made. Even if you’re not into college sports, follow along and learn some interesting facts about these unique sports structures where our colleges proudly show their colors and school spirit!• Three of the oldest college football stadiums in the
nation are located in the northeast, where the oldest institutions of higher learning in this country were established.
• The University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field is considered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to be the country’s oldest football stadium. Built in 1895 at an original cost of $100,000, it was rebuilt in 1922 to become the nation’s first two-tiered stadium. Franklin Field was also the location of the nation’s first scoreboard erected in 1895, and later as the venue for the first football radio broadcast in 1922, followed in 1939 by the first game ever telecast.
• Steadfastly claiming the same honor as the nation’s oldest football stadium is the Harvard Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1903, the horseshoe shaped stadium is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is the world’s first “massive reinforced concrete structure.”

A cool place to go on a hot day is underground. One of the “coolest,” (as in really amazing!) is Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where the temperature underground is a constant 56°F (13° C) at all times. So slip on your jacket or sweater and follow us down to learn some cool facts about these mammoth caverns, their unique formations and the interesting critters that make them their home! • A young cowhand, Jim White, is given credit
for being the first to explore the caverns as a teenager in 1898. When he discovered the large opening to a cave down a deep recess of the rocky terrain, his curiosity got the better of him. Using a long ladder he fashioned out of fencing wire and strips of wood, he descended alone 60 feet down into the recess and entered the cave. As his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he was awestuck by the massive underground world he had found.
• Carlsbad locals were dubious of young Jim’s wild stories of large subterranean rooms with mysterious cones hanging from the tall ceilings. He tried for years to convince people that he wasn’t fantasizing but telling the truth. Meanwhile, he continued to visit and explore the caverns, and even named many of the rooms and unusual formations.
• He was eventually able to convince a few of the more curious and adventurous locals to follow him down and into the cave. Once they saw the amazing sights before them, news spread quickly that young Jim’s stories had been true all along, and the town’s officials knew they were on to something.
• When a switchback ramp was built to allow visitors to walk down to the cave opening, the town of Carlsbad had an immediate tourist attraction. Jim was the guide for numerous people to tour the caverns, including Robert Holley from the General Land Office, who
surveyed and mapped the area, and Ray V. Davis, who photographed the numerous large rooms. Davis’ photos appeared in the New York Times in 1923 and stimulated much interest in the underground wonders. On October 25, 1923, Carlsbad Cave National Monument was established. Congress designated it as a national park in 1930.
• Jim White is unofficially remembered as “Mr. Carlsbad Caverns” for his exploration, guide services and promotion of the caverns for the public to enjoy.

A poured concrete switchback ramp allows visitors walking access to the cave’s main entrance.

guitar in 1959 from his father: a white single-pickup Supro Ozark. The gui-tar was stolen from the bandstand at a Seattle nightclub in 1960 and has never been recovered.
2. Best was an original drummer for the Beatles. He was fired and replaced with Ringo Starr in 1962. Rumor has it that to this day, Best doesn’t know the reason he was let go.
3. The Zombies, in 1964. They still tour and in 2011 released a studio album “Breathe Out, Breathe In.”
4. The Delfonics, in 1970. Many oth-ers have covered the song since then, including Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin.
5. “I Can Help,” released in 1974, went to No. 1 on charts worldwide. Despite a long career, he never saw that kind of success again.
6. The Police, in 1981. It was their first No. 1 on the U.S. rock chart.

• The first bowl-shaped stadium ever built was the Yale Bowl at Yale University in 1914. Upon completion, it was the largest stadium in the world since construction of the Roman Coliseum in 80 AD. The massive stadium is one of four National Historic Landmarks on Yale’s campus.
• Another historic stadium dating back to 1913 is Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field. It is the oldest continuously-used on-campus college football site in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly Division I-A). Football has been played at the downtown Atlanta site since 1905. The stadium was the site of the most lopsided game in football history. In 1916, Georgia Tech unmercifully defeated Cumberland College 222-0!
• Although not as old as Yale or Harvard, a west coast college football venue listed on the National Historic Landmark is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. As the home field for the University of Southern California (USC), this is the only stadium in the world that has not only hosted the Olympics twice, but it has also hosted the Super Bowl and the World Series.
• Another California field, Stanford Stadium, made a lot of history in its 84-year life span. But despite its nostalgic past, it was decided that the best thing for the school, the players and the fans was to replace the aging facility. A modern new structure opened in 2006, but not without a few trade-offs. One of the biggest complaints about the old Stanford Stadium was its inadequate restroom facilities. Although the new stadium resolved that situation, the overall size of the new facility was smaller. The old stadium, built in 1921, had a seating capacity of 86,000, and often held as many as 94,000.
The new stadium is built for a crowd of only 50,000.
• Of all the big events held at the old Stanford stadium, two of them were standouts that gained national attention. The first occured when Herbert Hoover, a Stanford grad and former football manager, accepted the Republican nomination for president in 1928. The second was a track and field meet between the U.S. and the USSR (Soviet Union) in 1962, during the height of the “Cold War.” Although political tensions were high, more than 153,000 attended to watch the highly publicized two-day competition that has been dubbed “The greatest track and field event of all time.”
• American football has a history dating back to the late 1800s, emerging from the European game of rugby. Yale University player and coach Walter Camp, called the “Father of American Football,” is recognized for instituting the early rules of the game.
• “The Birthplace of Intercollegiate Football,” Rutgers University in New Jersey, held the first inter-collegiate football game in 1869, in which Rutgers defeated Princeton by two goals. Those players didn’t play in a stadium, but on a field on College Avenue in New Brunswick with a small group of curiosity seekers gathered to see what the game was about. Today, Rutgers has an impressive stadium that seats 52,454 fans.
• Many stadiums are now named after large corporate sponsors who pay exorbitant prices for the right to advertise themselves and promote their company brand. One of those is the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. Built in 1980, it is the only domed stadium in the Northeast. Oddly enough, though named for the Carrier air conditioning company, the domed stadium itself is not air conditioned!
• The air is thinner and contains less oxygen in higher elevations making breathing more difficult in high energy contests like football. War Memorial Stadium at the University of Wyoming has the highest elevation of any Division I university at 7,770 feet, followed by Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado at 7,750 feet. Falcon Stadium, the home field for
1. How many plalyers are on the field for each team during a football game.2. What stadium is known as the “12th Man”?
All football teams have mascots to represent them. TheFlorida Gators have male and female
alligators, Albert and Alberta. However, the Gators also had, for 60 years, “Mr. Two-Bits,” George Edmondson, who roamed the stadium leading fans in the cheer, “Two bits! Four bits! Six
bits! A dollar! All for the Gators stand up and holler!” George grad-
uated from theCitadel, not the University of Florida. His first
and last games leading the cheer were against his
own alma mater.
The university stadium with the most consecu-tive sell-outs for home games is the University of Nebraska. While Memorial Stadium, where the Cornhuskers play, is not among the largest stadiums in college football, it is one of the most revered for its faithful following. They have filled the stadium to capacity 317 times since 1962.

● It was Canadian American educator Laurence J. Peter who made the following sage observation: “You can always tell a real friend: When you’ve made a fool of yourself, he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.”
● In Murfreesboro, Tenn., it is illegal to keep indoor furniture outdoors.
● Mike Edwards, one of the founding members of the British band Electric Light Orchestra, met with an untimely death decades after he left the group. In 2010, as Edwards was driving in the rural south-west of England, a farmer lost control of a 1,300-pound bale of hay. This wheel-shaped bale rolled down a hill and over a hedge, and just happened to smash into the van that Edwards was driving.
● The humble honeybee is the official insect of 17 states.
● Those who study such things say that there is a 1 million to 1 chance that, within the next century, an asteroid will crash into the Earth and destroy most life on the planet.
● In 2008 a company called Defense Devices, based in Jackson, Tenn., intro-duced a new item: a stun gun disguised as a tube of lipstick. The same company offers a ring that will shoot pepper spray.
● You might be surprised to learn that the giant bullfrogs of South Africa have some-times been known to attack lions.
● Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it has the longest name: It’s of-ficially known as the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation.
● The tuatara is a lizard that can be found in New Zealand. Its claim to fame? It has a third eye, on the top of its head. *** Thought for the Day: “The length of a film should be directly related to the en-durance of the human bladder.” -- Alfred Hitchcock

southern New Mexico landscape, lies more than 117 known caves throughout the labyrinth of connected chambers and rooms of Carlsbad Caverns. The caves were formed by the work of sulfuric acid, not water, dissolving much of the limestone rock of the area.
• Many different formations abound, which scientists call “speleothems.” The carrot-like formations hanging down from the ceiling are called stalactites. Stalagmites are the forms that come from the bottom, reaching up. There are also wondrous formations called columns, popcorn, soda straws, draperies and helictites.
• From mid-April to mid-October there are literally hundreds of thousands of bats that inhabit Carlsbad Caverns, and rangers give “bat flight” talks for visitors each evening. It is estimated that about half a million Mexican Free-Tailed Bats inhabit the caves. The entire population of these furry insectivores fly out en masse each evening to consume enormous quantities of bugs and search for water. When the bats re-enter the cave entrance at dawn, they can be seen diving from all directions at speeds that reach 25 miles per hour or more!
• While the Big Room is a “must see” for anyone visiting Carlsbad, and now has elevator access, there are many guided walking tours that are accessible to physically fit individuals. The Natural Entrance is great for those who can handle the strenuous 750 feet deep descent into the cave on a steep, narrow switchback trail.
• The discoveries in Carlsbad Caverns National
Park still continue as cave scientists, called speleologists, study, expand and share their knowledge with curious non-scientists who just enjoy learning more about the wonders that lie beneath the earth. ■

Not many folks today can remember it, but there was a time when football players didn’t wear helmets, subjecting their heads to serious punishment every time they were hit. From the leather head harnesses of the late 19th century to today’s modern football helmets, safety has been the key to the design and improvements that have progressed over the years.• The earliest football helmets had almost no
padding and consisted of nothing more than a leather skull cap made of leather straps with some padding in between. A few years later, leather ear flaps were added after players had gotten their ears nearly torn off. They were also made of leather and did little to soften blows to the head.
• An Annapolis shoemaker is credited with the creation of one of the first helmets, custom made for Admiral Joseph Mason Reeves. Admiral Reeves had been advised by a Navy doctor that it would be “instant insanity” and he would be risking death if he endured another hard kick to his head.
• Reeves wore that helmet in 1893 in an Army versus Navy football game. Helmets did not actually become mandatory gear until 1939 for college games and in 1943 for the National Football League (NFL).
• The man who receives the most credit for the invention of the football helmet is George Barclay, a halfback for Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania during the 1890s. Barclay was very fearful about developing “cauliflower ears.” Also known as boxer’s ear or wrestler’s ear, cauliflower ear is an acquired deformity of the outer ear caused by blunt force trauma. The blood supply to the outer ear is interrupted causing the skin to shrivel into folds, creating a cauliflower-like appearance. Nicknamed “The Rose” for his preoccupation with his handsome looks, Barclay didn’t want to chance disfiguring his pretty features.
• Barclay found a local harness maker who designed a leather helmet for him. Known as
a “head harness,” these helmets were fitted specifically for an individual player, with three thick leather straps as the protective covering.
• By 1915 big changes were happening with helmets. They were becoming more spherical and included padding, straps and earpieces to better protect the head.
• In 1917, Bob Zuppke, football coach at the University of Illinois, contributed to football helmet design by adding space between the inside of the leather helmet and the player’s head. He also added more leather that helped absorb the impact of hard blows.
• Vern McMillan followed Zuppke by updating helmets with a rubber-covered wire face mask which helped to reduce the number of broken teeth and noses. Face masks are continually updated to provide protection for the players. One design that used Lucite didn’t work out very well, as they became brittle and would usually shatter when players were hit!
• One significant contribution to the popularity of football helmets didn’t have anything to do with safety. Fred Gehrke, a player for the Los Angeles Rams, started something when he painted the first logo on a helmet in 1947. Gehrke was an art major and after getting approval from his coach, Bob Snyder, and then team owner, Dan Reeves, he got the “go-ahead” to spend his summer painting.
• In the summer of 1948, Gehrke painted 75 leather helmets blue and then, freehand renderings of ram’s horns in gold. He did the job for $1 per helmet, which basically covered the cost of the paint. For two years he carried blue and gold paint to the games and touched
up the helmets after each game.• The Riddell sporting good company started
baking Gehrke’s design into plastic helmets in 1949 and then shortly thereafter more teams wanted logos on their helmets.
• It wasn’t until the 1950s that plastic helmets with padding were introduced. Plastic helmets created a new problem, however, when players started lowering their heads and using them as battering rams on the opposing players! New rules and changes were then made to protect players – and changes are continually being made in today’s leagues as well.
• Football helmets today are made from a heavy duty plastic, with the face masks made of sturdy metal with a hard rubber coating. The inside of the helmets have air cushions that can be inflated or deflated to a player’s liking ■

If you need an attorney as a result of a serious personal injury, there are certain things you should consider.
We feel it is inappropriate for a lawyer or representative to contact you as a result of an accident. In fact, unsolicited personal contact is prohibited by the State Bar. The decision to contact an attorney is yours and yours alone.
This means that you pay no attorney’s fees unless your lawyer either negotiates a settlement with your approval or wins a judgement in court. This method of compensation makes legal representation available to many who otherwise could not afford it. It also means that if your case has merit, you can be well represented by a qualifi ed attorney.
Ask friends or attorneys you know for references of personal injury lawyers, or check with the California Bar Association. It’s the best way to fi nd an ethical, competent attorney with the trial experience it takes to bring your case to a fair conclusion. Beware of the promises and claims some attorneys make in their ads.

Q: Is it true that Christina Aguilera 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 coach-es, with Christina and Cee Lo returning next fall. The decision was made to offer contestants varied coaching styles and to accommodate the coaches’ tour schedules. ***
Q: I saw Adam Ant on an entertain-ment television show recently, 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 Gun-ner’s Daughter,” which is due to hit stores this January, and he is tour-ing the U.S. for the first time in 17 years. I spoke with Adam recently, and he is thrilled to play for American audiences again -- this time, on his terms. “I think when you are able to do something that you’re getting paid for, it only becomes a job when it’s work, when you’re working on someone else’s terms, and you don’t enjoy it as much as you should. And you become exhausted, which sort of happened to me,” Ant said. “But now I find I really appreciate the fact that there’s the opportunity to do it under my own terms. I do what is right for me and my work. I don’t even think about it; I just get out there and do it.” For a rare look into the musical genius, go to celebrityextraonline.com to read my full interview with Adam. ***
Q: I’ve loved Tim Matheson since I first saw him in “Animal 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 latest gig. He told me re-cently what he likes so much about the show: “We’re this crazy, totally disparate group of people in this small Southern 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 tremendous fun, and it’s very sincere.” ***
Q: What’s your favorite new show of the fall so far? -- Hillary R., via e-mail
A: Hands-down, my favorite new show is “The Mindy Project,” which airs Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c. It’s funny, sweet, quirky and a little bit edgy, like the show’s namesake.

Financial Aid for High School? DEAR MARY: My daughter is in junior high school, and we’re trying to decide what to do about high school. She has always gone to public school, but the high school in our area has gone downhill. The curriculum isn’t as com-petitive, and even worse, there have been prob-lems with violence on campus. I’d feel better sending her to private school, but I’m a single mom and simply can’t afford it on my own. Can I get financial aid for high school? -- Coleen, Illinois
Dear Coleen: Every child in America gets financial aid in the form of a guaranteed free public school education. There’s been a lot of talk about “school vouchers,” which would provide funds for parents to send their kids to private schools rather than public. But so far, it’s mostly talk. Some private schools offer scholarship pro-grams. Perhaps you could barter the cost of tuition by running school events or working for the school in some capacity. Have you checked with your school district to see if your daughter could transfer to another school within your district? If neither of these options pans out and she attends the school near you, let me encourage you to get involved in the school. Join the parent teacher association. Volunteer whenever you can. Some-times staying and making things better turns out to be the right thing after all.
DEAR MARY: I’m approaching my third anniversary at work and am anxious about my review. Last year, I received a cost of living in-crease, but this year I’m hoping for more since I’ve successfully taken on new duties. Is it ac-ceptable to negotiate a raise? I believe that ulti-mately excellent performance is recognized and
rewarded. -- Janet, Missouri
Dear Janet: There are few things more sen-sitive than employee compensation, and I mean for everyone involved. It’s important to make sure you are equally sensitive. Have you heard anything that leads you to believe others in your company or department have negotiated successfully? Checking the “tone” of management will help you decide how to proceed. One thing is for sure: If you come across aggres-sively and with an attitude of entitlement, you may be seen as arrogant and demanding. That could put a strain on your relationship with your bosses. Now, while you have time to think, review yourself. Make a list of your specific accomplish-ments that show you’ve gone beyond what was required, together with the positive financial impact your efforts have had on the company. What spe-cific value have you brought to the company? Why should you receive this raise? Work this information into your real review, if it seems appropriate. No mat-ter what they offer you in terms of an increase, ex-press your gratitude, then play it by ear. If things don’t go as you hoped and you can-not get past the disappointment, perhaps it’s time to update your resume and start looking around. A good rule of thumb at work and in life is to always remain a fragrance, never become an odor!

This includes Montgom-ery GI Bill Active Duty, Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve and the Reserve Educational Assistance Pro-gram, as well as the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Edu-cational Assistance Program. For example, the rate for Montgomery active-duty full-time institutional training (after an enlistment of at least three years) has gone from $1,473 to $1,564 per month. The rate after an enlistment of less than three years goes from $1,196 to $1,270. If you want to further your education but don’t know which avenue to pursue (full time, part time, campus living, on-the-job training or other options), go online to www.gibill.va.gov, click Resources, Benefit Resources and then Benefit Comparison Tools. It says right on the top of the page that for some veterans, the Post-9/11 GI Bill is a better deal than the Montgom-ery bill or any of the others. (Read the fine print: If you served for less than the full 36 months, you’ll receive a percentage of the benefits.) Look at the comparison chart and weigh the benefits of each option: how the payments are made, the duration of the payments (how long your benefits are good), requirements of your service and the maxi-mum number of months of benefits. Then look at the Comparison of Monetary Benefits for specifics on what and who gets paid, you or the school. To start assembling information, click Re-sources and then Student handouts, brochures and regulations. You’ll find pamphlets and fact sheets that cover dozens of areas. If you don’t have a computer and can’t use one at a library, call the VA at 1-800-827-1000 for general information about education benefits. Or call the num-ber for the GI Bill at 1-888-442-4551.

Boys Being Boys Dogs bite boys twice as often as they do girls. Why? Boys play rough. It’s true. Boys pour salt on slugs, throw rocks at cars, light things on fire and shoot each other with BB guns. Girls? Yeah, they can be mean, sassy and loud, but they aren’t typically roughhousers, and sta-tistically that pays off. Check out the stats at cdc.gov. Last week I got a call from a distraught mom. Her 3-year-old boy kicked the dog, and the dog bit him on the head. From a humanistic point of view, that dog shouldn’t live with children. He bites. End of discus-sion ... from that standpoint. An important question remains, though: Why did the kid kick the dog in the first place? All children, and especially boys, have to be taught how to handle and care for a dog if they’re go-ing to live in the same house with one -- for the dog’s sake and their own. A mother of 9-year-old and 12-year-old boys e-mailed me a few months ago regarding the family dog, who had been aggressive toward strangers and other dogs but not her kids. In fact, her kids “can pull his ears and tail, take his food, sit on him, etc. with no problems.” She later signed off with, “We love this dog, but know we can’t risk the safety of others.” Boy, oh, boy... That’s some kind of love. This week I got an e-mail from another mom, proud of the fact that her dog doesn’t bite. “Charlie is never aggressive, even when my 30-month-old son hits him in the head with the remote control or a plastic golf club.” Not aggressive? Not yet. Little boys playing rough is part of boys be-ing boys. But when little boys play rough with dogs, there’s a good chance someone’s going to get hurt. The behaviors these women describe go beyond playing rough. It’s animal abuse. And it’s only a mat-ter of time before the family dog -- “that’s only been aggressive toward strangers” or “has never been ag-gressive at all” -- turns on his own family. It’s the parent’s job to keep their kids safe. It’s the parent’s responsibility to know better, to teach the child, to train the dog. Boys will be boys. They’re curious. They play rough. They wrestle; they tackle; they throw punches. And sometimes, if they never learn better,

It’s Not too Late to Start Leading a Healthier Life So many of my patients in their early 70s and 80s scoff when I tell them it is not too late to start reforming and living a healthy lifestyle. However, research just published in the journal BMJ showed quite conclusively that developing a healthy life-style in adults 75 and older led to a significant prolongation in life. The research, conducted in Sweden, followed 1,810 individuals over age 75 for 18 years. By the study’s end, more than 90 percent had died. The research examined not only the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including exercising, eating right and not smoking, but also the impact of social net-works and leisure activities. In this study, individuals were defined as hav-ing healthy lifestyles if they participated in one or more leisure activities and had a strong social network. Those who had unhealthy lifestyles did not participate in any leisure activity, spent a great deal of time alone and had few friends. In this older population, those who had a healthy lifestyle lived 5.4 years longer than those who did not. Exercising more, eating right, having a great social life adds an average of six years to a man’s life and five years to a woman’s. Even at age 85, and despite having numerous chronic medical con-ditions, those identified as having a healthy lifestyle lived four years longer than those who did not. And former smokers lived as long as those who never smoked. The message to everyone out there is that the key to longevity is embracing life to the fullest, living healthfully and living well. And if the benefits are obvious at age 75, imagine the value for those who have committed to health throughout their lives. I believe strongly that to live long and live well, you need to embrace life to the fullest. In my book, “Dr. David’s First Health Book of More (Not Less),” I summarize the 10 steps of more that lead to a longer, better, healthier and more independent life. Here they are: First and foremost is more passion. Embrace life to the fullest and tackle every activity with passion and enthusiasm. Second is more peace. Stress is a major predictor of ill health, and learn-ing how to cope with stress and live a peaceful life is an essential element of staying healthy. Third is more love. This includes love of family, friends and community. A love-filled life surrounded by people is the essence of a strong social network and the absence of loneliness, a major predictor of ill health. Fourth is more self-love. We have to have high self-esteem, be comfortable in our skin and know that we are valued to be happy and healthy. Fifth is more laughter. The happier you are, the more amused you are by your weaknesses and the more you laugh, the longer you live. Sixth is more faith. Those who believe in a higher power live lon-ger than those who do not. But it is not which faith or denomination you belong to that is important, but spirituality that includes hope, love, faith, char-ity, and, most importantly, the capacity to forgive, be forgiven and, in some cases, to forgive yourself. Seventh is more food -- but more of the right
and less of the wrong food. This includes the right fats (olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids), the right protein (lean meats and fatty fish), avoiding too much starch, and eating all the fruits and vegeta-bles you want. Eighth is more movement. Clearly exercise is the longevity pill. The more active you are, the longer you live. Exercise your heart and lungs, build your muscles by weight training, stretch and do balance exercises. Nine is more health education. The more you understand what it takes to stay healthy and how to navigate the health sys-tem, should you become ill, the more likely you will receive the best medical care and live longer. And finally, No. 10 is more freedom. Feeling free and able to participate in every aspect of life is a powerful element promoting longevity. If it can work at 75, it can surely be better if you start earlier.

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9)
they grow up to be men who play rough. All of the players in the Michael Vick dog-fighting debacle were boys in men’s bodies who like to play rough. What does a little boy who’s allowed to hit his dog, sit on him and pull his tail and ears become when he grows up? A dog lover? A humani-tarian? Or a man with so little respect for life that he would slam a dog’s body to the ground because it didn’t show enough fight? Five years ago, as Vick read his statement declaring his innocence of all charges against him, his mother, Brenda Boddie, stood by his side. “I would like to say to my mom I’m sorry for what she has had to go through in this most trying of times.” A month later, he changed his tune -- and his plea.

YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau
Widow’s Benefits Go to Financially Dependent Women Q. I am a 71-year-old widow. My husband recently died, and I was absolutely shocked to learn that I will not qualify for any of his Social Security. The Social Security of-fice told me that my own benefit was so much higher than his that I will just get my own retire-ment payments and nothing else. I happened to have had a better-paying job than my husband did, so that’s why I qualify for a higher pay-ment than he would have received. My husband died at the age of 61. He paid Social Security taxes for almost 40 years. It is so maddening to know that not only did he never get a chance to get any Social Security but also I won’t get any widow’s benefits either. What happens to all the money he put into the system? And who is responsible for the dumb law that prevents me from getting what is rightfully mine?
A. I’m sorry for your loss. And I can sym-pathize with your frustrations about not qualifying for widow’s benefits. I’m going to explain to you why the law is the way it is. But I have a hunch no matter what I say, you won’t be satisfied. You have to understand that Social Security was never set up to work like a regular life insurance program. People can buy life insurance if they want. And of course, many people do. I certainly hope you and your husband did. Social Security was enacted in 1935 primarily as a retirement program. And as I think most people understand, it was meant to be merely one part of a retiree’s nest egg. You may have heard of the “three legged stool” analogy with respect to what a worker should plan to count on in retirement. One leg is any pension or 401(k) income. The second leg is savings or investments. And the third leg is Social Security. Anyway, that was Social Security’s original in-tent in 1935. But even before the first regular month-ly checks were sent out in 1940, Congress realized that provisions needed to be made for a taxpayer’s dependents. So they amended the original Social Se-curity law to add benefits for dependent spouses and widows -- and minor children. That word “dependent” is key. The law said a spouse would get benefits on her husband’s Social Security record if she was financially dependent on her husband. (By the way, I’m not trying to be sexist by referring only to women getting spousal benefits. I’m just being realistic. Even today, about 90 percent of all spousal benefits go to women.) Back in the 1930s when these laws were passed, most men worked and most women stayed home. So when the husband retired, he got Social Security retirement benefits, and his wife got a spou-sal benefit -- up to one half of his rate. And when he died, the woman started getting widow’s benefits -- up to 100 percent of his rate.
But as time went on, more and more women left the home and joined the paid labor force. So they started paying Social Security taxes and earning their own Social Security benefits. In other words, they were no longer totally financially dependent on their husband’s income while he was working. And in their senior years, they were no longer totally dependent on the husband’s Social Security. After all, they were now getting their own Social Security check. It wouldn’t make sense to pay a woman a full dependent’s benefit if she were getting her own retirement benefit. But many women still qualify for some dependent spousal payments, especially if their own Social Security check is low. Here is a simple example. Bill and Sue are married and now retired. (And to keep my math sim-ple, I’m going to say they are both 66 years old.) Bill had the better paying job, and he now gets $2,200 per month from Social Security. Sue’s monthly Social Security retirement check is only $900. While Bill is alive, Sue will always get her own $900 payment, but it will be supplemented with $200 from Bill’s account, making her total Social Security income $1,100 monthly. (At age 66, Sue is due up to 50 percent of Bill’s Social Security.) And if Bill dies before Sue, then Sue will start getting $1,300 in widow’s benefits to supplement her own $900 retirement check, making her total month-ly income, or $2,200, match Bill’s benefit rate. Now let me change that example a bit. Let’s say that Sue had died first. Do you think that Bill would expect to get any widower’s benefits from Social Security? I don’t think he would, because he knows that his own $2,200 monthly payment is way more than Sue’s little $900 Social Security benefit. In other words, Bill was not financially dependent on Sue, so he doesn’t really expect to get a dependent widower’s benefit from the government. Well, that’s pretty much what we have go-ing on in your situation, except the gender roles are reversed. You said you had a better paying job than your husband, meaning you were not the dependent spouse in your household. So why should you qualify for a “dependent” widow’s benefit? In fact, if you had died before your husband did, he would have quali-fied for a widower’s benefit on your record -- the dif-ference between his Social Security rate and yours. One final point. You asked where all his Social Security tax dollars went. Well, a little bit of
it could be paying my Social Security check. And some of it might be in the widow’s benefit that my next door neighbor gets. And maybe even a portion of it is wrapped up in your monthly retirement bene-fits. In other words, his money is just part of the big Social Security pot that’s paying benefits to millions of Social Security beneficiaries.

Health in Aging The American Geriatrics Society Founda-tion 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, because 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-un-derstand information on a whole alphabet of health conditions. ► You’ll find information about problems that come with aging, news on the latest informa-tion about aging and a link on finding a geriatrics health care professional. ► One of the most important sections is on preventing drug interactions. Drugs work differently 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 metabo-lism, 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 living, 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. Reminder: Have you had your flu shot yet? Ask your doctor if you should have one, and the pneumonia shot as well.

Shaky Hands Not Due to Nervousness DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you please provide information on essential tremor? Thanks. -- D.C.
ANSWER: When people unfamiliar with es-sential 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 caus-ing the shakiness; it’s essential tremor. A glitch in one of the brain’s movement-control centers has oc-curred. 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 rela-tives 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 dis-abling 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 on-line at www.essentialtremor.org. The foundation is a reliable source of information and can keep you up to date on new treatments. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Many years ago, we moved to a small community next to the ocean. We have eaten large quantities of fish ever since. I have developed a parasite called pinworms, which I believe came from partly uncooked fish. I used to see them when they exited from my colon (backside). They are few-er now that I take Oregano Leaf Oil. Can they cause other ailments or infiltrate other organs? How does one get rid of them once and for all? -- J.D.
ANSWER: Pinworms are an extremely com-mon infection, especially in children. During the night, the female pinworm crawls out of the rectum to lay eggs on the nearby skin. She is tiny, 0.4 inches (1 cm) long. You must have good eyes to see these worms. A magnifying glass is a big help. Pinworms rarely make their way to other organs. Some specu-late that they might be a cause of appendicitis. Eggs on the skin cause intense itching. Your doctor is best equipped to make the diagnosis. Doc-tors have the instruments to clearly see the worm or its eggs. Mebendazole (Vermox), albendazole (Albenza) and pyrantel pamoate (Pin-X) have a good track record of getting rid of pinworms. They are not found in fish. Undercooked freshwater fish can harbor the
fish tapeworm, which grows to a length of 39 feet. It produces few, if any, symptoms. Prolonged infec-tion with it can lead to vitamin B-12 deficiency. For diagnosis, a stool specimen should be sent to a lab experienced in identifying the eggs and the worm segments. Praziquantel (Biltricide) is the treatment. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer indi-vidual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column when-ever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

I am sure they are well intentioned, but they only focus on what my age bracket is, not how old I feel or what I am able to do. I want to maintain my independence and freedom as long as possible. I’m not ready for the rocker! I do have a few of the normal aches and pains, but my reflexes are still quick, my mind is still sharp and I am a safe driver. I can even remember all of the grandkids’ birthdays. I will confess that I sometimes choose selective hear-ing as a convenient “escape” method. I also have a ladyfriend who has a similar background and shares the same interests that I have, and we both enjoy the same activities. In short, I am happy and content. How do I politely tell my well-meaning family to back off and just leave me alone?
A: You need to make a clear statement that you are still in charge of your own life! With today’s advanced medical technologies our average lifespan continues to increase. In fact, some recent books indicate that “Third Age” studies have now been edited for “Fourth Age” consideration. It is getting harder to “pigeonhole” the se-nior population simply by what age group we happen to be in. There is indeed truth in the statement that “70 is the new 50!” Do not let others push you into thinking you are over the hill, or allow them to put the kibosh on your active lifestyle. Keep your positive and optimistic attitude, keep your mind alert and your body active. Take a class and learn something new, travel and see new things, be a volunteer, buy a computer and learn how to use email and find the wealth of information on the internet. Stay involved! Doing so lifts your spirits and keeps you from feeling lonely, bored or discontented. One reader encouraged me to “just keep on keeping on with what you’re doing.” Choose not to accept others’ opinions and continue making your own decisions. We are each unique and entitled to our own fair share of happi-ness and fulfillment. So keep on keeping out of those confounded, confining pigeonholes!
Q: Every fall without fail my wife starts getting all jazzed up about the approaching hol-
idays. To me, all of the holiday hype is a pain and I’m glad when it’s over. She complains that I don’t help enough, but to be honest, if it were up to me we wouldn’t be wasting our time and money on this nonsense every year. So my question for you is, should I try to help, or stay out of the way and just let her go ahead and do her thing?
A: First, let me say that while you are en-titled to your opinion about the hoidays, you do have the marital obligation to be a helpmate for your wife. Even if you don’t share her enthusiasm for this time of year, you can at least offer to share her workload. Look at it this way: Here is a great opportu-nity to demonstrate your love and respect for her. She obviously knows your distaste for the holidays, so she will appreciate your help all the more -- but not if you do it begrudgingly! Ask what you can do to help, and then do it willingly and cheerfully. What becomes most important in this situ-ation is sharing the tasks as a team. And I promise, doing so will bring you both closer together. Remem-ber, our attitudes are chosen. Even Scrooge’s attitude was changed!

● On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Con-gress authorizes construction and admin-istration of the first American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the first com-mander-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 composes the first of many ro-mantic 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 fever 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. Er-win Rommel, nicknamed “the Desert Fox,” is given the option of facing a public trial for treason, as a co-conspirator in the plot to as-sassinate Adolf Hitler, or taking cyanide. He chose the latter. The German government gave Rommel 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 fight-ers intercept an Egyptian airliner attempting to fly the Palestinian hijackers to freedom. On Oct. 7, four heavily armed terrorists had hijacked the Achille Lauro and 320 crew-members 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. Sci-entists have determined that it came from the inner edge of the main asteroid belt in space, between Jupiter and Mars.

The Smasher and the Simply Smashing
Before he hit the 40-feet hook shot out of the straw to take him to within two putts of the Green Jacket, a little bit of banter in the room turned to what Bubba Watson was wearing.
As most of us know by now, Bub-ba Watson won the Masters, largely due to his monstrous 300-plus yard drives and unorthodox swinging style. But I, too, became curious about Watson’s game and, yes, his style, too.
For the techies out there, Watson uses a PING G20 driver with a cus-tom pink True Temper Grafalloy Bi-Matrix shaft. The same exact driver will be made available to pro shops this year, the company announced after the tournament.
Pink is a color that most sports fans are becoming accustomed to. It appears in splashes on various uni-forms these days to signify the fight against breast cancer, a cause that has successfully managed to co-opt that color and increase awareness. Knowing this, we were all a little leery of making fun of the color.
And we were right: Ping donates $300 to Watson’s charity for every 300-foot drive he makes. His Phoe-nix-based charity aims to donate $1 million to various organizations
during the year, and after this win, it’s a safe bet to say it will do so.
But his manner of dress and that unorthodox swinging style also reminded me of former PGA tour-nament winner from the ‘60s, Doug Sanders.
Known as the “Peacock of the Fairways,” Sanders came out of nowhere to win the Canadian Open as an amateur. His best finish at the Masters was a fourth place tie, and he won 20 events on the Tour, but Sanders was best known for his manner of dress. Sanders was famous for his “Mad Men”-esque devotion to what he wore. He was known to wear golf shoes that looked more like dress shoes, pleated golf plants, button-down cardigans and a golf polo. Each out-fit had complimentary colors of the same shade, and he even made sure his golf bags matched his outfit.
While both Sanders and Watson are philanthropists and champions, they have something else in com-mon — they’re both self-taught golfers. Neither has taken a lesson in his life. Sanders grew up a poor cotton farmer’s son; Watson’s father was a Green Beret Vietnam veteran who gave him a 9-iron once and told him to “beat it down the fairway.”
Well, Watson surely will be beat-ing it down the fairway for a while now, and nobody will make fun of his clothes anymore, but I have one suggestion — and I’m sure Mr. Sanders would agree — you should at least shave before putting on the Green Jacket. Sure he won in a play-off, but this isn’t hockey, you know.

Chair Rose in Value Q: I have enclosed a photo of a Victorian side chair that I picked up for $35 this past spring. I took all the old material and springs out and had the chair re-glued. I also had it pro-fessionally reupholstered. I selected the fabric myself and chose the rose pattern to match the single rose on the crest rail. The wood is prob-ably walnut. The chair is solid as a rock now. I recently gave it to one of our nieces since she likes roses. I have put about $240 into the restoration. Was it worth it? Can you also tell me its approx-imate age? I am guessing about 1870 to 1880?
A: The balloon-back, carved rose on the crest, the pierced carving, serpentine apron and cab-riole legs are typical of Rococo Revival furniture in the Victorian Era. Your chair was made sometime between 1860 and 1880 and would probably be worth about $350 to $400.
Q: I have a green Mickey Mouse toy bank that has been in our family since the 1930s. It is shaped like a treasure chest and has the images of Mickey and Minnie on the lid. The words “Be Thrifty - Save Coins - Mickey and Minnie At 1933-1934 World’s Fair” are also on the lid. It is in perfect condition. What can you tell me about it?
A: Your bank was made to commemorate the 1933-1934 Chicago World’s Fair. It is a “treasure.” As a collectible, it would appeal to collectors of both Disney items and World’s Fair memorabilia. Your bank would probably be worth $250 to $450. * * *
Q: The enclosed mark is on the bottom of a porcelain vase that I inherited. The vase is approximately 12 inches tall and in perfect condition. It is decorated with multi-colored flowers heavily outlined in gold on the front, and there is also a small bouquet of purple flowers on the back. The background is cream and shades to gold. There are handles on either
Manning Up Watching the Broncos take on the Falcons the other night reminded me of the first time I stood face to face with Peyton Manning. It was his rookie season out of Tennessee, and it was my rookie year as a beat reporter for the Atlanta Falcons. I didn’t like spending the games in the press box at the Georgia Dome -- a poorly lighted, decorated shed in a town that didn’t need a dome with a field of painted-over concrete famous for ending careers. Nobody would have guessed that the 1998 Falcons were going to the Super Bowl that year, and I cannot stress this to you enough. There was a considerable lack of faith in head coach Dan Reeves and the sketchy track record of Chris Chandler, the team’s quarterback. Chandler wasn’t really considered to be a very tough guy. He typically missed a few games every season due to injuries, and he ran a lot, which made sense on both accounts because he was constantly being chased out of the pocket dur-ing his football journeys. Chandler was 33, and he had done a tour of the NFL’s bottom rung for the past decade. Drafted by Indianapolis, sent to Tampa, shuffled to Phoenix in a mid-season trade, passed to the Rams for a season, then a deuce in Houston be-fore touching down in Atlanta. With the exception of his rookie year, he hadn’t put together a winning season for any of those teams. Reeves remains infamous for losing three Super Bowls in a row during his time at Denver. One of the last guys to wear a suit on the sidelines, his play calling was drearily conservative. And the Falcons roster looked like a list of rejects and also-rans. The backup quarterback was 44-year-old Steve Deberg, a guy who had been out of the league for five years. Each week the “Falconies” (as the news-room called them, for whatever reason) kept improving, and my photography got better, too. I seemed to have a knack for snagging really emo-tional candid shots from behind the bench. And then one week, there was Manning, on his way to a 3-13 season, getting hounded by the Falcons en route to a 28-21 loss, on the phone with the folks upstairs, looking distressed until SNAP! Full on Minolta with red-eye reduction flash in your face! He squinted, put the phone to the side and looked up at me -? one rookie to another -- and ut-tered these five words of advice I’ll never forget: “Dude ... you can’t do that.” I recognized that same look on his face during this season’s game. The Falcons are look-ing like a Super Bowl team again, and Manning is on the phone looking distressed again. Three interceptions on your first three drives, Peyton? Dude ... you can’t do that.

side and everything is embellished with gold. I would appreciate any information you can give me.
A: You have a vase that was made by Ernst Wahliss Alexandra Porcelain Works in Turn-Teplitz, Bohemia, Austria. They were in business from 1894 to 1934. The number “2279” is a design number. The designs of most of their work were influenced by the ornate curves of Art Nouveau. Your vase was made around 1900 and similar vases are selling in the range from $125 to $225.

Improve your consistency through your target line
Improve Your Consistency Through Your Target Line
Many golfers’ struggle with consistency, not only from day today but from shot to shot. My Empowered Golf strategy for improving your consistency rest in one statement; “everythingthat you do in golf evolves in reference to your path to the targetcalled ‘the target line’”. The “target line” is an imaginary paththat extends from your target in the distance back through yourball. Many times golfers produce poor results because theyfailed to take the time to establish this path to the target. You can establish your target line the way many tour playersdo; go behind your ball and literally point the golf club throughthe ball towards the target in the distance. Now that you haveestablished this line, your next goal is to setup to the ball alongthis same path, as seen in the photo with the two red lines that represent the path to the target in the distance.In the setup it is your goal to have your grip and club facesquare to this target line along with your feet, knees, hips andshoulders. When the body and club are setup square to thetarget line, then you will be improving your chances of movingthe club along the target line in the swing.It is our goal in the swing to move the golf club in reference tothe target line as perfect as possible. Perfect? Yes, Like drivinga car it is our goal to steer the car in reference to the lines onthe road or in other words a “target line” that leads us to ourdestination. The same holds true in golf; we are attempting to move the golf club (steering wheel) in reference to our path thatleads to our destination. The golf ball serves as an indicator as to how well we did. The golf ball indicates back to us howclosely we were able to reference our path in the swing as the ball flies in reference to our target.

Many golfers struggle with consistency, not only from day to day but from shot to shot. My Empow-ered Golf strategy for improving consistency rests on one crucial fact: Everything that you do in golf relates to the “Target Line”. Every shot in golf relates directly to this imaginary path, which extends from your distant target back through your ball. Many golfers pro-duce poor results simply because they fail to first establish their direct path to the target. I recommend finding your target line the way many tour players do. Simply stand behind the ball and point your club through the ball toward your target in the distance. An easy step. In your setup, your first goal is to have your feet, knees, hips and shoulders, along with your grip and club face, square to the Target Line, as shown in the photo. When both the body and the club are set up square to this line, you greatly increase your ability to move your clubhead along this line as well. With your setup done correctly, the ball will travel along that same path directly to your target. Once you’ve established the routine of always setting up to the ball in relation to your target line, you’ll find the accuracy of your shots will greatly im-prove - and so will your score!

Point, New York, has a unique tradition for its games. A skydiver lands on the field at Michie Stadium holding the football to start the games.
• Many college and university teams have other traditions observed in their home stadiums. Some involve songs music, some a motto, and many involve mascots.
• When the Tennessee Volunteers and their 100,000 or so fans sing “Rocky Top” in Neyland Stadium, it is a chorus that you will hear in your sleep for a few nights afterward!
• “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song recorded by John Denver in 1971 has been the theme song for West Virginia University since 1972. Denver sang the song at the opening of the “new” Mountaineer Field in 1980. The words and music were written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and Denver, and at the time none of the trio had actually been to the state.
• A stadium that has received more attention in recent years for its high level college playing is known for having the only blue turf in football. Boise State’s Bronco Field’s turf is also called the “smurf turf” for the cartoon Smurfs.
• Aloha Stadium, the home stadium for the University of Hawaii, is owned by the state of Hawaii and hosts many events other than football. The Aloha Stadium Swapmeet & Marketplace, held every week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays should be on every visitor’s itinerary.
• Many people refer to the “big house” as prison or jail. In football, however, “The Big House” is the largest stadium in the country, home of University of Michigan football, with a seating capacity of 109,901. One of the interesting stories about this stadium is that while it was under construction in 1926 and crews were digging out the deep foundation, they came upon an underground spring. The soil was so saturated with moisture it was like quicksand, and swallowed an entire 17-ton crane! The crane is still there -- under the stadium! ■
