“You won’t believe on All Hallow Eve, What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob, And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.” – Carolyn Wells
With the onset of fall last month on Sept. 22, minds often wander to all things autumnal. Apples often rank
right up there with pumpkins, falling leaves, cool weather and holidays that are right around the corner. And about 25 percent of an apple’s volume is air, which makes them fl oat…and makes it easier to bob for them this time of year. But did you know that Oc-tober is National Apple Month?

National Apple Week was founded 1904 and later expanded to encompass the entire month of October. Naturally, the purpose is to boost apple awareness and hopefully bolster the apple indus-try. But that still begs the question: What is so great about the apple?
AN APPLE BY ANY OTHER NAME IS…A ROSE?
Apples are actually a member of the rose family and sizes range from a lit-tle bigger than a cherry to as large as a grapefruit, depending on the variety. There are 7,500 varieties grown glob-ally and about 2,500 of those are grown in the U.S.
With such a large variety of types, there are bound to be differences to make each type stand out from the oth-ers. Aftertaste happens to be one such difference. Some have the aftertaste of pears, citrus, cloves, cinnamon, coco-nut, strawberries, grapes or pineapple. It’s no wonder the apple is so versatile for cooking.
Diced pork and Matian apples was the oldest recipe on record containing the apple. It dates back to the third century, although it is said to have come from the mind of a man named Apicius, who lived 200 years prior to that.
APPLES, APPLES,EVERYWHERE!!
Evidence has shown that apples were discovered as suitable for human con-sumption as far back as 6,500 B.C. and possibly even earlier. The apple tree is said to have originated somewhere be-tween the Caspian and Black Seas.
Apples were an integral part of life in the Persian Empire, grown not only for their delicious taste but also for their beauty. The Greeks followed suit after acquiring dominance over the Persians; and following that, the Romans discov-ered their appeal. Cultivating them be-came as much an art as a science.
Raising apples hit a downslope along with the decline of the Roman Empire, only to be rekindled during the Italian Renaissance in the fi fteenth century. England and France got on board with the Italians; and early settlers coming to the Americas brought their own va-rieties of apples. Until then, the Ameri-cas only had crab apples.
LEGEND HAS IT…Aside from the apple’s voyage through
time, it also appears in many different religious and folklore stories. In the Bible, the apple appears several times. Probably the most notable is the story of Adam and Eve.
Adam and Eve are the fi rst man and woman that God created. He gave them a home in the Garden of Eden where they could eat whatever they wanted as long as it wasn’t apples from the Tree of Knowledge. However, Eve is tempted by a serpent to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, hearing that it will make her more like God. She does, then gives the apple to Adam who also eats the fruit. For disobeying God, the pair is exiled from the Garden, never to return.
In fact, the term Adam’s Apple refers to the lump in a man’s throat, said to be a piece of the apple he ate from the tree of Knowledge.
The apple also shows up in mythology. It symbolizes desire and temptation, probably stemming from stories about Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and marriage, who is often depicted with an apple in her hand. Atalanta was

forced to marry once she was beaten by Hippomenes in a footrace, thanks to Aphrodite’s help. The goddess supplied Hippomenes with three golden apples, which he used to distract Atalanta by throwing them in her path whenever she took the lead.
THE STORY OFJOHNNY APPLESEED
More recently is the legend of Johnny Appleseed. In reality, this man’s name was John Chapman from Leominster, Mass. Chapman lived in the late 1700s and early 1800s and gradually made his way to the Ohio Valley, where this story primarily is centered.
It is said that Chapman was a mission-ary and apple tree nurseryman who made his way around the now-Ohio and
Indiana regions, planting seeds, caring for apple trees and teaching farmers about apple cultivation. Supposedly, Chapman wore a coffee bean sack for a tunic and a cooking pot on his head during his travels. Did we mention he was supposed to have been barefoot the entire time…even during winter?
Over the course of his lifetime, it is said that he planted thousands upon thou-sands of apple trees.

ter, etc.), apples are actually a pretty powerful fruit.
The appeal of the apple as a heal-ing food can be traced back to (guess who?) the Greeks. It was a custom to serve apples, among other fruit, at the end of a meal to aid in digestion.
The saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” may actually be a good rule to live by. Research has shown that apples have been linked to helping with weight loss to cancer to heart disease and type 2 diabetes. More recent stud-ies are beginning to see a link between
apples and apple products and the im-provement of Alzheimer’s disease and possibly even decreasing the risk of de-veloping it.
What makes apples so special? Un-like many fruits, which are still highly recommended as part of a healthy, bal-anced diet, apples maintain much of their nutritional benefi ts for as long as 200 days after harvesting.
Here are some of the importantnutrients found in apples:
• Pectin – soluble fi ber that lowers both blood pressure and glucose levels
• Boron – supports a healthy brain and strong bones
• Quercetin – a fl avonoid that re-searchers are beginning to link to re-ducing the risk of several types of can-cers, including breast and lung cancer
• Vitamin C – gives the immune sys-tem a boost
• Phytonutrients – these include vita-mins A and E, and beta carotene, which are linked to reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes and asthma.
THE CROWD HAS SPOKENWith so many types of apples to be had, what are the most popular variet-ies? In the U.S. the top spot goes to the Red Delicious. The runner up, Gala, is followed by Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji, McIntosh, Rome, Empire, Braeburn and Idared.
OTHER FUN APPLE FACTSIf you forgot your toothbrush •
on a trip, just munch on an apple. The meat of the apple acts as a toothbrush and helps kill bacteria in your mouth.
Apple juice is said to be one of • the earliest antidepressants prescribed.
The term “upper crust” refers • to affl uent households who could af-ford to put both an upper and lower crust on their pies (especially the fa-
vorite - apple pie).
• To be the apple of someone’s eye means to be very special; the term comes from the ancient belief that the pupil of the eye was solid and spheri-cal, like an apple.
• Sir Isaac Newton developed his Sec-ond Law about gravity and its behav-ior based on what he observed while watching an apple fall from a tree.
• The tradition of throwing rice at a newly married couple is the fortunate off-shoot of the original tradition of throwing apples at them.
DON’T FORGET THE WINE…OR THE CIDER
Apple cider is a traditional fall drink that is essentially apple juice that has not been strained or pasteurized for preservation purposes. Its origins date back to at least 55 B.C. where English villagers showed off their drink to the Romans.
Apple wine, on the other hand, is a fermented form of cider that is mainly found in German-speaking countries and referred to as Apfelwein. The In-ternet likes to boast the ease with which apple wine can be made, but the lack of a fermentation bin and 4-5 weeks of patience might affect the ease of creat-ing this drink.

HEALTHIN AGING
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, 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-understand information on a whole al-phabet of health conditions.--You’ll fi nd information about prob-lems that come with aging, news on the latest information about aging and a link on fi nding 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 metabolism, less muscle mass, and age-related variables that can change the rate of absorption. Of-ten, we have multiple medical condi-tions that can change how a drug will work, especially in combination.--When it comes to exploring the dif-ferent 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-under-stand language with all the legal terms explained for advance directives (liv-ing 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 fl u shot yet? Ask your doctor if you should have one, and the pneumonia shot as well.

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 give-away. It’s not “nerves” that are causing the shakiness; it’s essential tremor. A glitch in one of the brain’s movement-control cen-ters has occurred. Katharine Hepburn suf-fered 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, indicat-ing that it runs in families. Most affected people can fi nd 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 treat-ment. 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 fi rmly against the body when using their hands for a fi ne task.
Everyone with essential tremor needs to make the acquaintance of the Internation-al 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.
***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Many years ago, we moved to a small community next to the ocean. We have eaten large quantities of fi sh ever since. I have developed a par-asite called pinworms, which I be-lieve came from partly uncooked fi sh. I used to see them when they exited from my colon (backside). They are fewer now that I take Oregano Leaf Oil. Can they cause other ailments or infi ltrate other organs? How does one get rid of them once and for all? -- J.D.
ANSWER: Pinworms are an ex-tremely common infection, especially in children. During the night, the female pin-worm 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 speculate that they might be a cause of appendicitis.
Eggs on the skin cause intense itching. Your doctor is best equipped to make the diagnosis. Doctors have the instru-ments to clearly see the worm or its eggs. Mebendazole (Vermox), albendazole (Al-benza) and pyrantel pamoate (Pin-X) have a good track record of getting rid of pin-worms. They are not found in fi sh.
Undercooked freshwater fi sh can harbor the fi sh tapeworm, which grows to a length of 39 feet. It produces few, if any, symp-toms. Prolonged infection with it can lead to vitamin B-12 defi ciency. For diagnosis, a stool specimen should be sent to a lab experienced in identifying the eggs and the worm segments. Praziquantel (Biltri-cide) is the treatment.
***
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will in-corporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

SNIPPETZ® HOME AND GARDEN
FALLAND
WINTERWATERING
I don’t have to convince anyone that this year has been hard on our plants. It was a dry winter,
followed by a dry spring and a very hot and dry summer. Now that fall is here and we have been getting a few wonderful rainy days we’re fi nally off the hook for watering. Right? Wrong. Especially after a drought, watering correctly during the fall and winter is absolutely crucial to the health of our plants and will de-termine how well they perform the following spring. Of course we all have our fi ngers crossed that this winter will be a wet one! Just in case it’s not though, let’s ensure that they are strong and healthy go-ing into dormancy.
Our summer was dry and most of us were on water restrictions. So what does that mean for the health of
our trees and shrubs? Damage from drought is often unnoticeable until many months later and right now many trees and shrubs are develop-ing their buds for next year. That is why fall is just as an important time to keep a good watering schedule as anytime in the spring or summer.
Now that it’s October we can cer-tainly cut down on watering, but it is recommended to water one to two times a month from October thru March. For large established trees this means ten gallons per inch in diameter of the trunk each time you water. It’s best to water at least a few feet from the trunk and out to the farthest branch line or drip line and water like this in four different spots around your tree to provide an even watering. You can adjust this amount according to any moisture we might get. We will get! Keep-ing fi ngers crossed. Apply fi ve gal-lons of water for small shrubs and eighteen gallons for large shrubs (over 6’). Any newly planted trees and shrubs should be watered more frequently, like three times a month. Perennials will also benefi t from winter watering. In addition to wa-tering just for the sake of keeping our plants hydrated it helps prevent the ground from freezing and thaw-ing and the problems that can cre-ate.
That’s not so bad is it? If in the past you didn’t know the importance of fall and winter watering you will be pleased at the difference this makes in your plants vitality and survival! So on those days where the tem-perature is above 45 degrees and there’s no snow on the ground try to set a mental reminder to water!

• On Oct. 13, 1775, the Continental Con-gress authorizes construction and admin-istration of the fi rst American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the fi rst com-mander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. His fi rst fl eet consisted of seven ships: two 24-gun frigates, two 14-gun brigs and three schooners.
• On Oct. 12, 1786, a lovesick Thomas Jef-ferson composes the fi rst of many roman-tic letters to a married woman named Ma-ria 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. Erwin
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 fi rst no-hitter in the history of the World Series. Even bet-ter, it was a perfect game -- that is, there were no runs, no hits and no errors, and no batter reached fi rst base.
• On Oct. 10, 1985, the hijacking of the Ital-ian cruise ship Achille Lauro reaches a dra-matic climax when U.S. Navy F-14 fi ghters intercept an Egyptian airliner attempting to fl y the Palestinian hijackers to freedom. On Oct. 7, four heavily armed terrorists had hi-jacked the Achille Lauro and 320 crewmem-bers 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 in-ner edge of the main asteroid belt in space, between Jupiter and Mars.

• It was Canadian American educa-tor 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 perma-nent job.”
• In Murfreesboro, Tenn., it is il-legal to keep indoor furniture out-doors.
• Mike Edwards, one of the found-ing 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 southwest 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 hap-pened to smash into the van that Edwards was driving.
• The humble honeybee is the of-fi cial 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 as-teroid will crash into the Earth and destroy most life on the planet.
• In 2008 a company called Defense Devices, based in Jackson, Tenn., introduced 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 Af-rica have sometimes been known to attack lions.
• Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but it has the longest name: It’s offi cially known as the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plan-tation.
• 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.

A RECIPE FORKID-FRIENDLY
MEALS
Getting children to eat a healthy dinner often takes a little extra planning. You might try com-
bining healthy ingredients in interest-ing ways. This recipe for Black Bean and Broccoli-Stuffed Potatoes is veg-etarian dish that has all of the fl avors of a nacho or a taco. The addition of broccoli makes it a nutritious and easy-to-prepare meal. You also might try us-ing colorful and interesting dinnerware or place mats.
Involving your child in the meal prepa-ration is another way to ensure that they’ll eat dinner. It’s also the perfect time to make memories and instill healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
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 fl o-rets, 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 pep-per1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese4 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
1. Prick potatoes with a fork 4 to 5 times per side. Microwave for 5 min-utes, turn over, microwave an addition-al 4 minutes. Remove from microwave and cover with a clean dishtowel to al-low potatoes to continue to steam. This provides for fl uffi er potatoes.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, combine black beans, broccoli fl orets, salsa and 1/2 tablespoon chili pow-der, 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 ol-ive oil, juice, the remaining 1/2 table-spoon of chili powder, and the 1/2 tea-spoon 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 un-til the cheese is bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Top with a dollop of sour cream or additional salsa, if desired. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

New DVD Releases forWeek of October 8, 2012
PICKS OF THE WEEK“Prometheus” (R) -- Ridley Scott directs this (kinda) prequel to “Alien,” wherein a bunch of planet-jumping archaeologists explore the ruins of an alien civilization and discover all kinds of bad stuff there in the dark: alien monsters, ancient doomsday technology, bone-chilling revelations. Re-ally, they were asking for it. Charlize Theron is the captain of the ship, and Michael Fassbender plays the erudite android. Fassbender’s performance holds
up the fi lm pretty well: He’s detached an awkward enough to be a mixed-up android, but he’s observant and curious enough to be a dangerous intellect. Like many of its peers, the movie shifts from spooky sci-fi exploration to all-out terror near the end.“The Raven” (R) -- John Cusack stars as the horror-mystery author Edgar Allen Poe in this Gothic thriller. Somebody is imitat-ing the brutal murders described in Poe’s crime stories, so the Baltimore police de-tectives bring in the writer to help solve the case. While it’s well-researched, the fi lm isn’t quite on Poe’s level with its by-the-book storyline and enormous plot holes. But really, how many well-researched Gothic murder mysteries are coming out these days? “The Raven” is spooky and interesting enough to keep you along for the ride.“A Cat in Paris” (PG) -- Dino is an ador-able house cat in a colorful and stylis-
tic animated version of Paris. By day, he lives with a little girl who doesn’t speak; at night, he works with an agile human thief who climbs into buildings -- a cat burglar, if you will. One night, the little girl follows Dino and gets caught by some gangsters planning a heist. Dino and the burglar have to team up and go on a scenic adventure to rescue her.
DOG OF THE WEEK“Rock of Ages” (PG-13) -- It’s exactly what all the posters promised: a big cheesy musical full of ‘80s hair metal. A pretty young girl from Oklahoma decides to fol-low her dreams to the glamorous Sunset Strip in LA. She meets some handsome guy who plays guitar, and then they sing as if their relationship is just so incredibly unbelievable. Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand and Paul Giamatti are there to be funny. Musical numbers are all drawn
from late ‘80s rock, including Journey, Bon Jovi and Night Ranger. All of the music is sung by the actors them-selves. No matter how goofy the songs might sound to us today, you’ll always no-tice that the actors just can’t come close the vocal abilities of the original performers. You’ll be sick of this movie well before the fi nal number.

OCTOBER 8, 2012
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you love being the focus of attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good fi rst impression is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your prob-lems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between you and that special per-son needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Con-gratulations. Your handling of a delicate fam-ily matter rates kudos. But no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or profes-sional relationships.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resent-ment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by mak-ing more time for them.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your un-fi nished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your ob-jectivity and avoid showing any favoritism ‘twixt the two sides.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your per-sonal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.
BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

THE MONSTER BASH:The Legend of Linus Bardamas
PART 2By Nicholas Yanez
As the army of trows continued to move south, away from their home gate, they began to worry.
They knew the sun was less than two hours from rising. Once it did, the trows would grow weak and feeble standing no chance to escape the Norwegian Monsters. Linus looked around the scurry and found a fa-miliar face. He called out to Humgaurd, his lifelong friend and neighbor. Linus ques-tioned his comrade, searching for ideas of how to return home. Humgaurd too was thinking about the inevitability of the day-time coming and searching his thoughts for an answer.
“Over here!” yelled a voice from the west. Linus and the others looked through the grass to see a young trow, barely nine years old. He begged the group to follow him. “I have a way home” said the youngling. Trows were a trusting bunch, honest with themselves, they knew they hadn’t a better solution. They chose to follow the young-ster. As he led them out of the grass and into a desert-like area, the group saw traces of young trow footprints. They wandered through a valley and into a deep jungle, one where shadows would overtake the sun. There were even more abundant footprints there; clear traces of Trow. “What is this place?” asked Humgaurd. “It’s where they ran away” responded the little one, shame in his body language.
A couple of years ago, nearly twenty trow children escaped in the middle of the night. No one knew what had happened to the adolescent bunch; until now that is. The little one explained that he was sworn to secrecy when the group had set out to explore the night. For months the young trows had secretly created their own tun-nel system, conveniently leading to an area where they knew light had very little infl u-ence. A somber mood overcame the group, knowing that the little ones had succeeded their plan and escaped. They also knew that the young trows must have been taken by the light. The mood quickly shifted as the group realized the tunnels were still there, and would lead the villager’s home.
Linus and his fellow Trow opened the hatches built by the lost younglings and entered the secret caves. They had found a way home before the sun had risen. They were safe for now. But as they trudged through the small channels one by one, they heard a noise. It was distant, but ob-vious. The Monsters were destroying their underground home from the North side. With each thumping, crumbling noise the trow stayed the course; headed to an inevi-table showdown.

PETS NOT IMMUNE TO GUM DISEASE
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog, “Parker,” had two teeth removed dur-ing his last visit to the veterinarian, who said he had periodontal disease. I always thought that feeding him teeth-cleaning dog treats was enough to keep his teeth healthy, but the veterinar-ian said no. Can you let your readers know that their pet’s teeth need regular brushing and periodic checkups at the vet’s offi ce? -- Sharon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
DEAR SHARON: Dogs and cats can get gingivitis, periodontal disease, suf-fer from tooth loss and be at risk for serious health problems if infections enter the bloodstream.
While treats, chew toys and other prod-ucts that promote pets’ dental health are
fi ne 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-specifi c toothbrush and toothpaste at the pet store or vet’s of-fi ce. Human toothbrushes and mint-fl a-vored toothpaste will not do. Pet tooth-brushes often are shaped to fi t over one fi nger 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 encourage-ment.
Many pets resist having their teeth brushed, so again, be patient and gen-tle, and give lots of praise and a treat at the end of each session.

UNPACK YOUR UNIQUENESS
By Ron Ross
You are unique – that’s it. You’re not “somewhat unique” nor are you “very
unique”. You are unique. You are the only one like you.
Unique, you see, is a term that can-not be modifi ed by an adverb or de-gree or a comparative adverb.
For instance, if someone says that you are “somewhat unique” they probably mean you are unusual, maybe a little odd, or even weird. If someone describes you as “very unique” it probably means that you are exceptional in some way or maybe eccentric, or worst of all,
frightening.
But either way, they are not using the word unique correctly. Unique means only one thing: one of a kind. So you can’t be “very” one of a kind or “somewhat” one of a kind. You can only be one of a kind.
And that’s what YOU are. You are one of a kind.
You look the way you look. Unless you have a great deal of money to spend on plastic surgery, you can make only minor adjustments to your appearance. You can change your hairstyle, alter your diet, modify your exercise program and refurbish your wardrobe, but ulti-mately, you will look like you and you always will.
You think the way you think. No one processes information like you do.
That’s because of your unique expe-riences in life: The environment you grew up in, your education, your in-terests, the people you’ve met along the way, all of these experiences and people have left their impression on you and have impacted the way you sort out all the information placed before you at any given moment.
You feel the way you feel. No one reacts emotionally to life just like you do, and for the same reasons given in the previous paragraph. My brother and I had the same demand-ing math teacher in high school. I ended up hating math and he ended up loving it. Go fi gure.
So don’t try to be someone else. Be you. Don’t talk or walk or think or sing or dress or groom or live like someone else or some group just because you think they are cool or just because they want you to con-
form to them. And don’t allow oth-ers to diminish the real you just be-cause you don’t quite fi t their ideas of what you should do or who you should be.
Oscar Wilde said, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quota-tion.” Don’t allow that description to apply to you.
Unpack your uniqueness. Let the real you shine. Drop the phony imi-tations of others and be uniquely you. It was the late great jazz singer Billie Holliday who said, “If I’m going to sing like someone else, then I don’t need to sing at all.”
You see, you’re not your best you can be if you are trying to be some-one else; but you are your best when you are totally you. And that is for one simple reason: you are unique – that’s it. You’re not “somewhat unique” nor are you “very unique”, you are unique. You are the only one like you.
Your swift kick in the pants for this week is this – stop imitating others and unpack your very own unique-ness.

HOW TO AVOID BUYING
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
When it comes to your family’s safety, it’s im-portant to try and inves-
tigate products you plan to buy.For example, 12 models of a popu-lar coffee maker have been recalled after more than 60 reports of the water heating chamber releasing hot water and grounds -- causing burn injuries to hands, faces and torsos. These models were sold over the past two years, and therefore might have made it to the discount-store level as newer models came on the market.
Two million baby bath seats have been recalled due to sudden col-lapse that spills the baby out of the seat. Reported injuries so far in-clude skull fractures and bleeding on the brain as a result of the falls. The manufacturer has offered a free repair kit that will lock the seat in position.
Twenty-one thousand gas dryers have been recalled because the gas valve doesn’t shut off, which causes the temperatures to rise even after
the dry cycle is fi nished.
Go the Consumer Product Safety Commission (http://www.cpsc.gov) for the latest recall information and to report unsafe products. The most recent recall information is on the front page. Or call its toll-free con-sumer hotline: 1-800- 638-2772.
If there’s a malfunction with an item, report it. Only after a number of people report malfunctions and injuries from consumer products will recalls be issued. Never assume you’re the only one with a problem. Be sure to report your safety prob-lem to the manufacturer as well. Many of them will do a voluntary recall to catch the problem quickly, before it shows up at the Consumer Product Safety Commission level.
If your gift buying for the coming holiday season includes making purchases at discount stores, con-sider that the models available there might not be current. It’s important to check for recalls on any models of appliances before you buy them.Search for product information at saferproducts.gov.
Purchasing an online subscription to Consumer Reports magazine is well worth the small cost. You get even more information than the print edition alone. Online, by sign-ing in with your ID and password, you can access comments made by other consumers and expanded in-formation on the products you want to buy. Additionally, you can sign up to receive monthly email infor-mation about product safety and re-calls.
David Uffi ngton regrets that he cannot personal-ly answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected].
