Before you pack away your holiday lights, ornaments, cards, etc., do an inventory and see if you are able to find what you need to complete your look at a slashed price. • Computer grocery lists can make not only shopping easier, but organization as well. Keep a file listing all the items you usually purchase from week to week. You even can create sections based on where certain items are located throughout the store. This will ensure that you don’t miss something, necessitating a return trip to the store. Stay organized to save money.

• “Keep a small package of antibacterial wipes in your car to clean your hands after pumping gas. Not only is there any potential gas to get off your hands, but those handles don’t get cleaned often, and are very dirty.” -- R.D. in South Carolina • “If you have extra papers that are printed only on one side, save them. You can cut them in quarters and staple several sheets together to make scrap-paper pads to keep near the telephone or on the fridge. They are handy, and you’ll be reusing material, which is good for the environment.” -- U.L. in Missouri • Putting up new calendars?

Flash Back Answers 1. The Left Banke, in 1966. The song went to No. 15 on the Billboard chart. 2. “Last Night,” in 1961. 3. The Heptones, both in 1966. Legend says the trio got its name from a bottle of hair tonic. 4. Billy Paul. The song won Paul a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance. 5. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. “Don’t Leave Me This Way” rose to No. 3 on the disco list. The next year, Thelma Houston netted a No. 1 hit with the same song. 6. Fact. In 2005, store clerks were actually scanning a large bar code that was part of the cover art of the “Electric 80s” CD set, resulting in a lower price to consumers. The real code was on the back. DOLLARS AND SENSE BY David Uffington Internet Fraud Soars, Are You Prepared? If 2012 has a theme, it might well be the Year of Increased Internet Fraud. The problems don’t occur as much with what we block out with our virus protection as they do with the parts we do let in: email we open and websites we visit. One source pegs the increase in “phishing” (getting your information) at 1,200 percent in just the past six months. It’s only going to get worse. During the recent holidays, right in the middle of online shopping season, customers received fake messages supposedly from a major online store. The email looked genuine: the content looked right, the subject line was one that many people would open -- but the sender’s address was forged, and it asked for personal information. That’s the key right there: When an email or a site wants your data, beware. The collection form might be a duplicate of the info-gathering

method of the legitimate site and look very authentic. What do they want? They want your personal information any way they can get it. It might be a direct steal when you help by typing in your name and information. It might be that you’re tricked into downloading a keystroke logger program that will capture everything you type in. Here are some initial steps you can take to protect yourself: 1. Err on the side of caution. Be skeptical. Don’t click any links, even out of curiosity. (Even clicking might start a download of spyware.) Don’t provide any personal information that’s asked for. If in doubt, close the email, close your email client completely, delete your browsing history and close all your browser windows. Then navigate to that company’s website in your normal way by typing in the URL. Be sure your browser’s phishing filter is turned on. 2. Better yet, pick up the phone. Call the company and tell them about the email you’ve received. (They’ll want to know.) Ask if the mail was legitimate and if something is wrong with your account. To learn more in general about online fraud, go online to Fraud Watch International [www.fraudwatchinternational.com]. Explore the tabs for Fraud Education and Consumer, but especially the Phishing Alerts. Click one event in the very long list, especially if you recognize the company, and explore how the fraud was accomplished. There are graphics and text to describe each step.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel On Dec. 31, 1937, Anthony Hopkins is born in Port Talbot, Wales. Hopkins is known for playing one of the greatest villains in movie history, the cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence of the Lambs” and its two sequels, “Hannibal” and “Red Dragon.” *** On Dec. 29, 1940, London suffers its most devastating air raid when Germans firebomb the city. The next day, a newspaper photo of St. Paul’s Cathedral standing undamaged amid the smoke and flames seemed to symbolize the capital’s unconquerable spirit during the Battle of Britain. *** On Dec. 26, 1966, the first day of the first Kwanzaa is celebrated in Los Angeles. The seven-day holiday is a celebration of AfricanAmerican family, community and cultural values, which include unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, economic cooperation, purpose, creativity and faith. *** (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

CHARITABLE GIVING GUIDE FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON The holidays ignite the philanthropic spirit in many of us, and even with the uncertain economy, Americans continue to give. In fact, according to Charity Navigator, total giving to charitable organizations was up 3.8 percent from 2009 to 2010. As in previous years, the majority of giving came from individuals - more than $211 billion of the nearly $291 billion in total giving. Americans have raised the bar for charitable giving, recognizing that the need may be greater than ever before. Whether you are donating money, items or time, take these steps to help make sure your contributions have the most benefit for the cause you support - and yourself. Consider your options carefully. Chances are you’ll see more promotion for charities during this season than you have throughout the year, and many may align with your interests and passions. The challenging part is weighing your options and making decisions to find the ones that best match your giving goals. If you are contacted by an unfamiliar charity, get the details about the organization, the nature of its program and its use of funds before you write a check. If you have any doubts, contact the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance or go to www.bbb.org/charity for a BBB Wise Giving ReportTM on the charity. Also make sure that the majority of what you give is actually supporting the programs and services of the organization. Of the 5,500 charities evaluated by Charity Navigator, the vast majority spend at least 75 percent of their budgets on programs and services. Typically ten percent or less goes to fundraising and 15 percent or less is spent on administration. Give beyond your checkbook. If you are passionate about a particular charity, consider giving more than money. Encourage friends, family and coworkers to join you in volunteering for an event to benefit a local charity. Perhaps you can choreograph a volunteer outing in place of a holiday office party, or gather your family for a community service project. It can be a great way to build relationships with those you already know and care about, and will also give you the opportunity to meet new people who share your passions during the holidays. Give a two-for-one. With many people on tight budgets this holiday season, it may be difficult to afford gifts for everyone on your list in addition to a donation. Why not combine the best of both by purchasing certain gift cards that give a percentage to charity? Some allow you to dictate the charity of your choice, while others are redeemable by recipients at the charities of their choice. Online networks like

PAGE 7 MONEYSAVER SHOPPING NEWS DECEMBER 20, 2011

www.justgive.org allow you to review and choose from a diverse list of local, national and international charities. Make your contribution count. Your donations to charity will not only make you feel good, they may also help when tax season comes around. If you itemize deductions, you may be able to take a federal income tax deduction for a donation to a qualified charity. You can search for the charity at the IRS web site to make sure it meets the requirements for tax deductibility. Keep in mind that there is no limit on charitable contributions for most taxpayers. There are, however, other limitations that come into play if you make significant contributions of property or stock with appreciable capital gains. If you make contributions that fall into these categories, be sure to consult with your tax advisor to see if your deductions will be limited. Finally, don’t forget to keep a paperwork trail of your contributions for tax purposes. Having them on hand will save you a lot of

headache when tax time arrives. Make giving a yeararound priority. While it feels especially good to give during the holidays, it might make sense to build charitable giving into your monthly budget so you do it in a planful way. Talk to your financial advisor about how your giving goals fit into your overall financial plan. f REGULAR BAPTIST CHURCH Valley Rd., Smethport, Church: 814-887-5632 Pastor Jack Gregg 814-887-2826 Sunday School (all ages)....................9:30am Sunday Morning Worship...................10:45am Sunday Evening Worship.....................6:00pm Wednesday Evening Bible Study & Prayer........................6:30pm Monday Evening Teen Program............6:30pm FIRST CHURCH OF GOD “Where Salvation Makes You A Member” 140 Main St., Eldred, PA Rev.

For some it could be riding a bike or maybe taking a walk and for others it could be doing some type of art. When someone is an addict these abilities can become hidden and wasted because of drugs. After treatment, when one is recovered it is a good time to start doing these activities again. Expressing yourself through your art can help you in many ways: Relieving stress, letting out anger, and just showing your true emotions. If you or a loved one is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction call us at Narconon Arrowhead at 800-468-6933 or visit our web site at www.stopaddiction.com. fb STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver • Those who study such things say that when a ladybug is frightened, it squirts a foul-smelling goo from its knees.

In the 5,000-meter race, the “Flying Finn” broke another indoor world record in 14:44.6. Nurmi often ran holding a stopwatch to pace himself, an innovation he developed. • On Jan. 2, 1971, 66 football (soccer) fans are killed in a stampede at a stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, as they attempt to leave a game.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On Jan. 5, 1643, in the first record of a legal divorce in the American colonies, Anne Clarke of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is granted a divorce from her absent and adulterous husband, Denis Clarke, by the Quarter Court of Boston. • On Jan. 7, 1785, Frenchman Jean-Pierre Blanchard and American John Jeffries travel from Dover, England, to Calais, France, in a gas balloon, making the first crossing of the English Channel by air. After almost crashing, the two men were forced to throw nearly everything out of the balloon to lighten the ship. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

What do you do when it snows? Have you ever seen a Lab puppy playing in the first snowfall he’s ever seen? It’s absolutely hilarious watching him. He tries to catch the snow as it hits the ground. Then, when he can’t do that, he jumps in the air trying to catch the flakes and when he does catch one, of course, it dissolves in his mouth and he doesn’t understand where it went. And when the ground is covered, he and his Lab brothers and sisters chase each other in it, sliding around, playing in the snow; having the time of their lives. Now contrast the Labs playing in the snow with the people who get grouchy because they can’t get out of their driveway. Or, who whine because their kids are missing another day of school which might cut into their summer vacation. Or, who stand in long grocery store lines and for what - milk and bread? Maybe Labs make a positive life better than we do sometimes, you think? The next time you get interrupted by the weather, just smile, enjoy the interruption, and make a positive life like a Lab!

10 cheers for our customers
Dear Children,
Thank you for all your letters. I read each one as they come in. Some of you have written very personal letters about your parents, families, sickness, and the war. I am sorry that even Santa’s magic cannot always change things, but do not lose heart. Inside each of you is a special magic that is even more powerful than Christmas wishes and that is the power to love. Do your best and remember that Santa’s love is with you.
9 rounds of applause, 8 smiles of gratitude, 7 nods of appreciation... We can’t thank you enough and wish you a wonderful New Year.

DONNA'S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUN By Donna Erickson Home-Cleaning Tips for the Holidays "It's dirty work, but someone has to do it!" That has been my catchy refrain the past few months while partnering with Scrubbing Bubbles to reveal its fascinating Dirty Work Index data on women's attitudes and feelings on cleaning their homes. Did you know that 51 percent of women actually avoid going into someone else's bathroom? I also was surprised to learn that three out of four women say that the cleanliness of their homes speaks volumes about them personally, and 83 percent are prompted to clean if they're hosting a party or guests in their home. That can put a lot of pressure on one person, especially this time of year! Now that we're in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, with guests coming and going in our homes, here are some practical and easy cleaning strategies for busy families: 1. Start with the front door. To keep dirt and grime out of the house before it gets tracked in, remind kids to leave their boots, shoes, and wet and muddy winter gear at the entryway. When guests pop by, I like to add a bit of humor and suggest that they do the "Cha, Cha, Cha" on the entry mat when they arrive. After a few steps, wiggles and laughs, their shoes are clean before they step inside. 2. Think of cleaning as exercise. It can be hard to get everything you want done during these busy days, so make cleaning do double duty when you can't squeeze in time at the gym. An active 30 minutes of cleaning can get the blood pumping and heart racing. Add music to the mix, and it will be done before you know it. 3. Get kids to help. You don't have to do all the tasks alone, especially kid-friendly jobs like shaking rugs, taking out the trash and cleaning the bathroom mirrors. 4. Clear the clutter. Just before guests arrive at a dinner party, wash and put away mixing bowls and utensils, and be sure the counters are sparkling clean. A clutter-free kitchen makes you feel organized and relaxed. 5. Save the night with candlelight. Perfection isn't everything. If you throw a last-minute get-together, don't worry about dusting every corner. Simply dim lamps and light candles. There is something about candlelight that makes everything glow. 6. Holiday helpers ring in the new year. When packing holiday decorations in boxes until next year, make it a family affair. Laugh together, tell stories and share cups of cocoa while you get another cleanup job done! *** Donna Erickson's award-winning series "Donna's Day" is airing on public television nationwide. To find more of her creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday.com and link to the NEW Donna's Day Facebook fan page. Her latest book is "Donna Erickson's Fabulous Funstuff for Families." (c) 2011 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd. *** Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas. - Peg Bracken *** Isn't it funny that at Christmas something in you get so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mond so much not having at other times. - Kate L. Bosher *** It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. - W.R. Ellis *** Christmas is forever, not just for one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself... -Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976.

DONNA'S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUN By Donna Erickson "Cool" Candles Add Warm Glow Let's make fire with ice! Impossible, you say? Well, it just depends on how you look at it. Follow my easy process for creating these super "cool" candles that add a warm glow to any evening. To make several medium-size candles, you'll need: --1-pound box of paraffin wax (available in the canning section at most markets) --1 saucepan and a tin can, such as a coffee can --Candle coloring (optional) --Ice cubes crushed into medium-size chunks. Your kids may fill a gallon plastic bag about three-quarters full with ice. Secure the top. Let them use a hammer to break the ice into small chunks. --Empty and clean pint- or quart-size cardboard milk cartons with the tops cut off --A white or colored taper candle for each ice candle, 1 inch shorter than the cut carton. Trim the candle from the bottom, if necessary. An adult should fill the bottom of the saucepan with a few inches of water and place the tin can in the center. Put a chunk of paraffin inside the can along with extra candle stubs you might have around the house. Add coloring if you wish. Stir occasionally as the wax melts, keeping a constant eye on it since it is flammable. For a wick, your school-age child can place a taper candle in the middle of a milk carton and pack the ice around it. When the wax is melted, an adult should use a potholder to lift the can out of the saucepan and pour the melted wax directly into the milk carton over the ice and around the taper candle. As the wax melts the ice, you'll hear cracking and popping! Once the wax is hard, drain off the water a time or two. Peel the carton away from the candle and enjoy the surprise of your work of art! The ice will have formed interesting pockets, like a chunk of Swiss cheese. To use, set it on a plate and surround it with marbles. When you light the candle, give your preschooler the job of saying "Ta-da!" as you stand around proudly watching the creation flicker on a winter's night. Note: An adult should always be present when burning candles. (c) 2011 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd.

Enjoy a Gluten-Free Holiday Season with Almonds (Family Features) Following a gluten-free diet during the holiday season can be stressful and daunting. Almonds, in their various forms, are the ideal solution to elevate the flavor and texture in gluten-free recipes without sacrificing taste. "Staying gluten-free during the holiday season can be challenging, but with almonds, navigating the dinner table is simple," says John Csukor, chef and CEO of KOR Food Innovation. "Almonds are a safe and delicious choice that enhances any sensory experience without limit." Naturally gluten-free and versatile, almonds offer a wide range of gluten-free solutions that bring a balance of interesting flavors and unique texture to a whole host of recipes without the worry that those with gluten sensitivities face during the holidays. While gluten-free living requires planning and preparation, it also encourages the exciting discovery of new foods and flavors. So rethink some of your favorite recipes - from entrees to desserts - and substitute ingredients with various almond forms to add flavor, crunch and sophistication to dishes. For example, you can inspire guests this holiday season with an Almond Sacher Torte that will tempt them to begin dinner with dessert instead. For more recipes and information, visit www.AlmondBoard.com/ glutenfree. Gluten-Free Almond Sacher Torte Yield: 1 single or split double layer 10-inch frosted cake 6 large eggs, separated 1/2 cup white sugar 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, sweet unsalted 1 tablespoon almond extract 1 cup confectionary sugar 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon xantham gum 1/2 cup potato starch 1/2 cup almond flour /4 teaspoon sea salt 2 cups sliced toasted almonds Ganache Frosting: 1 cup heavy cream 12 ounces 60 percent chocolate 2 tablespoons agave nectar Whip egg whites to soft peaks, add in white sugar and continue to whip into a firm meringue then set aside. Cream butter, almond extract and confectionery sugar until the mixture is light in color and smooth. Add melted chocolate to butter mixture until fully incorporated and then add egg yolks one at a time. Fold butter-chocolate mixture into the meringue. Once mixed, sift together dry ingredients and slowly add to wet ingredients until mixture is completely blended. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350 F in a 10-inch spring form pan that has been lightly coated with butter and dusted with almond flour. Ganache Frosting: Bring heavy cream to a boil on the stove, then pour over the chocolate and agave nectar in a large mixing bowl and mix with a whisk until smooth. Allow ganache to set up overnight before use. When ready, spread ganache over top and then sides of cake in a thick layer. Garnish sides of cake with toasted almonds. Chef Tip: Lightly brush cake with your favorite liquor before icing. This allows the cake to stay moist longer, and adds a little extra flavor. #10937_AR Source: Almond Board of California

down with them and select a date together for the party, no more than three or four months after the proposal. Traditionally, all guests invited to the engagement party should be invited to the wedding as well. However, if the couple is planning a small affair, you can still have a large engagement party. Just make sure that everyone you invite to the engagement party knows that the wedding is going to be small. That way, if they don’t get invited to the wedding, they won’t be offended. You also need to consider what type of engagement party to throw. You can go formal or informal. Keep the tastes of your future inlaws in mind as you make this decision. If they like casual gatherings, then a cookout at home or a party at a restaurant might be ideal. If they would prefer a more formal gathering, then a sit-down dinner at a fine establishment might be better. While selecting the type of party to have, remember that the big event, the wedding, remains. Don’t upstage it. With a venue in mind, you can work out the rest of the party details, including the food, entertainment and décor.

By Tresa Erickson When it comes to the wedding cake, couples have many options. Some may skip the cake entirely and go with a dessert bar instead. Some may order one small wedding cake and several sheet cakes to serve to their guests. Some may forgo the main cake and serve smaller cakes in various flavors at the reception tables. Whatever

How Sweet It Is

for the most part are the rich, three-tiered, heavily decorated cakes and in their place is a wide range of cakes customized specifically for the bride and groom. When selecting a wedding cake, couples often look to the location, theme and season of their celebration as a guide. A simple affair on the beach in the middle of summer might not call for the same

blessing. You knew this moment was coming; you just didn’t know when. Now that the cat is out of the bag, you may want to start thinking about hosting an engagement party for your daughter and future son-in-law. Traditionally, the bride’s parents host the engagement party to announce the couple’s engagement, celebrate their upcoming union and introduce themselves to the groom’s family. However, if the bride’s parents are unable to host the party, the groom’s family or any relative or close friend of the couple may do so. Of course, you should ask the couple first if they would like an engagement party. Some couples embrace the idea, while others think having an engagement party, along with a bridal shower and wedding, is too much. Don’t be upset if the couple declines your offer. If they are excited by the idea, sit

with the same or alternating designs. Some couples may request the design of their wedding cake incorporate the traditional flowers, either made of silk or frosting, while others may choose dots or scrollwork. Although once popular, basket weaves and swags appear to be on their way out, as do plastic columns and foil boards. Common cake flavors include carrot, chocolate, lemon, spice and vanilla, with many couples requesting each layer of their cake to be a different flavor. Some couples go an alternative route and choose unusual flavors like espresso, hazelnut and gingerbread. Frosting may be buttercream or fondant, though many couples today seem to favor the former. As for the top of the cake, couples no longer have to stick to the traditional bride-andgroom cake toppers. They can go with flowers, sculptures or monograms. Monogrammed letters in silver or tin make for stylish cake toppers. For those that prefer brideand-groom toppers, they’ll be glad to know that the traditional toppers have made a comeback and can be customized. Many companies now make toppers that match the actual bride and groom in hair color, skin color, age and more.

your personal preferences, make certain you discuss the matter in great detail with your fiancé, and should you decide to go with a wedding cake, keep the following trends in mind. The wedding cakes of today hardly resemble those of yesterday. Gone type of cake as a formal evening affair in the winter. The actual design of the cake is up for grabs. Some couples may opt for the traditional three layers, while others may go for fewer or additional layers. Tiers can be of the same or different heights

These should match the tone of the party, whether informal or formal. A cookout might not require any special entertainment or décor, whereas a formal sit-down dinner might. While you are planning these details, make sure you set a budget and stick to it. Once you have the details of the party in place, you can start sending out the invitations. You can purchase them or make them yourself. Gifts for the couple are not required. Some guests, however, may inquire about the matter. Attach a note requesting no gifts, if that is what the couple wants, or a list of registries, if they don’t mind receiving gifts. Remind the couple to register for gifts in the lowto-middle price range. An engagement party is not the occasion to ask for large, expensive gifts. Wrap up your party planning by designating some helpers. If you are having the party at your home, make sure you have someone to greet guests at the door. Assign a couple of volunteers to help with the food and another to serve as photographer for the day. If parking is going to be an issue, find a couple of buddies who are willing to be valets.

Senior Dogs Need Extra Attention DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My golden retriever, "Jessie," recently turned 9 years old. He's always been an energetic dog, but he doesn't seems to like walking as far as he used to, and when chasing birds in the park, he only chases them a few feet before trotting back to me. He also has some digestive issues. Is this normal for an older dog, or should I worry that he's got some hidden health issue? -- Sam L., Atlanta DEAR SAM: Nine years is definitely "senior dog" territory, and it is normal even for very energetic dogs to begin to noticeably slow down. Their dietary needs and their digestive system also go through gradual change. If Jessie isn't showing signs of distress or extreme lethargy, he's probably OK. However, as his owner, you know him best, so if his behavior or

digestion concern you, take him to the veterinarian for a checkup. Senior dogs do have unique needs that owners should address. Heidi Ganahl, owner of Camp Bow Wow, recently listed a few considerations senior dog owners should take: --Schedule a veterinary checkup every six months, rather than once a year. A senior pet's health can change rapidly. --Learn the signs of common ailments in senior dogs, like hip and joint problems, diabetes and eye or ear issues. --Feed your senior dog two smaller meals per day, rather than one. This may help with digestive problems. --Consider adding at least two fresh meals to your dog's diet per week. The added nutrition can be a big help. --Replace long runs or walks with shorter jaunts followed by a daily training or toy romp. Send your question or comment to [email protected], or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Paul G. Donohue, M.D. Taking Care of Frostbite DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Many years ago, when I was still a teen, I went skiing with my older brother. He was a much better skier than I, so we went our separate ways. Later, I saw a group huddling around one skier who looked a lot like my brother. It was my brother. He lost one of his gloves, and he had two frostbitten fingers. His only permanent damage was the loss of a fingertip. Ever since, I have been careful about dressing warm, often with two pair of gloves in cold weather. I don't know what to do about frostbite. Will you run the basics by me? -- S.S. ANSWER: Frostbite happens when the temperature drops to 32 F (0 degrees C) or lower. Actually, the temperature has to be lower than 32, since the minerals in the fluids bathing the tissues lower their freezing point. The places most susceptible are the fingers, hands, toes, feet, nose and ears. The first sign of trouble is pain. Then the skin turns quite pale. After that, numbness sets in. People might think that nothing is wrong at this stage, but numbness is a sign that freezing is

imminent. The skin and involved tissues become hard and firm. Ice crystals form in the spaces between cells. They pull water out of the cells and dehydrate them. The dehydration, decreased blood flow and ice crystals all work together to cause tissue damage. One of the most destructive factors is the lack of oxygen that comes from artery constriction to prevent heat loss from the rest of the body. Fast rewarming is the treatment. It should not begin if you are in a place where there's a chance of refreezing. Refreezing is a more destructive process than leaving things alone until you are in a place where the person can be kept warm. The affected part should be immersed in a bath of hot water whose temperature is around 104 F (40 C). The water has to be kept warm by adding more hot water as the bath begins to cool. At no point should you rub the frozen part. If the affected area cannot be warmed in a water bath, then use hot compresses. Rewarming is painful. Tylenol or a stronger medicine should be given. In 12 to 24 hours, blisters form. Do not break them. At this point, have a doctor examine the patient for definitive care. ***

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What can I do to improve my chipping, splitting fingernails? I was getting a weekly manicure but stopped due to economic reasons. My nails had grown stronger. Now they've become a disaster again. Please help. I take vitamins and calcium. -- M.H. ANSWER: Aging makes nails brittle, thin and fragile for quite a few people. Dryness fosters brittleness. After every handwashing and before going to bed, coat your nails with a moisturizer. Petroleum jelly (the many Vaseline products) works well. When washing dishes or putting your hands in water, wear waterproof gloves. Don't use nail polish remover often. The B vitamin biotin toughens nails for some. You'll need 2.5 mg daily. Neither calcium nor gelatin strengthens nails. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. (c) 2011 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta Home Maintenance in the New Year Ready for the new year? Me neither. It’s too soon after what’s been a really long and frenetic holiday season, starting with a preHalloween snowstorm that had me and my neighbors juggling snow shovels and carved pumpkins, and then moving straight into Thanksgiving and Christmas almost too fast to blink. I’m looking forward to catching my breath this week, however, and putting together my home maintenance plans for next year. January will be pretty quiet, except for the monthly furnace filter change and making sure ice dams and snow aren’t building up on the roof and gutters. Melting or removing them quickly will prevent much more expensive repairs. February is more of the same, but I’m also laying out what I’ll be planting in the deck garden this year. If there’s no snow on the ground, I’ll be scattering grass seed over bare or thin patches in the lawn and protecting it from the birds with a light layer of straw. In March I’ll be inspecting the exterior and yard for damage from fallen limbs or wind-blown debris, and if the snow has melted, clearing those debris from the yard.

Garden tools will come down from the highest shelf of the garage, ready to be put to use in a few weeks, but the snow shovel will stay near the side door just in case. April is still iffy for some garden plants, but once there’s no danger of a hard frost, soil can be turned over and, in the meantime, the lawn can be treated and prepared for the growing season. It’s also time to start repairing any exterior damage to the roof, eaves, gutters and downspouts, as well as remove and repair storm windows and put up screens in their place. That’s the first four months of the year: gradually getting busier, hopefully with no major storms or unplanned home repairs like busted furnaces or hot water heaters. May will bring much warmer temperatures and more maintenance work, but that’s a thought for another quiet day. HOME TIP: Keep a home maintenance calendar in your workshop with important projects highlighted so that you can plan for them well in advance. Send your questions or tips to [email protected], or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

CELEBRITY EXTRA By Cindy Elavsky

:

PHOTO: Michael Cudlitz Q:Now that Eddie Murphy is no longer hosting the Oscars, do you think he’ll host the Golden Globes? -- Peggy G., via e-mail A: That gig has gone to actor/ comedian/writer/producer Ricky Gervais, who’s hosted the previous two Golden Globes ceremonies. Most of you know I wholeheartedly approve of this choice, as do many of the Hollywood royalty that Ricky teases. Liam Neeson has voiced his approval of Ricky, saying: “Hollywood needs a shake-up. He’ll be great.” Robert DeNiro showered Ricky with praise after last year’s controversial telecast, telling Ricky he’d be happy to set anyone straight who was offended. Johnny Depp guest-stars on Ricky’s new TV show, “Life’s Too Short,” poking fun of himself and Ricky in a hilarious sketch (Google it and see for yourself). The

Golden Globes Awards telecast airs live Sunday, Jan. 15, on NBC. *** Q: How is Demi Moore doing? Will she divorce Ashton Kutcher for his alleged infidelity? -- Renee R., Clearwater, Fla. A: Demi recently announced her decision to file for divorce from Ashton, stating: “It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.” Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475; or e-mail her at [email protected]. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

Christmas Through the Ages • Telesphorus, the second Bishop of Rome, declared in the 2nd century AD that public Church services should be held to celebrate “The Nativity of our Lord and Savior.” • In 320 AD, Pope Julius I and other religious leaders specified Dec. 25 as the official date of the birth of Jesus Christ. • In the 13th century, St. Francis of Assisi introduced Christmas carols to formal church services. • In 1531, in Germany, the first printed reference to Christmas trees appeared. • The Christmas tree was first decorated with lights in the 16th century. It is believed that Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, was so taken with the Christmas night sky that he added lighted candles to the tree to bring “the lights of the stars” into the home of his family. • A goose was customary Christmas fare until the early 1600s, when King Henry VIII of England took it upon himself to tuck into a turkey. • In 1643, the British Parliament officially abolished the celebration of Christmas. • The first American Christmas carol was written in 1649 by a minister named John de Brebeur. It is called “Jesus Is Born.” • Between 1649 and 1660, Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas carols in England. Cromwell thought Christmas should be a very solemn day, so the only celebration allowed was a sermon and prayer service. • A wreath with holly, red berries and other decorations began from at least the 17th century. Holly, with its sharply pointed leaves, symbolized the thorns in Christ’s crown-of-thorns. Red berries symbolized the drops of Christ’s blood. A wreath at Christmas signified a home that celebrated to birth of Christ. • In 1818, “Silent Night” was written by Austrian priest Joseph Mohr. Legend has it that his church’s organ broke on the day before Christmas. Mohr could not imagine Christmas without music, so he sat down to write a carol that could be sung by a choir to guitar music. Later that night, the people in the little Austrian church sang “Stille Nacht” for the first time. • In 1834, Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, brought the first Christmas tree to Windsor Castle for the Royal family. • In 1836, Alabama became the first state to declare Christmas a legal holiday. • The first commercial Christmas card, produced in 1846, featured a drawing of family members happily toasting each other with glasses of wine -- a shockingly decadent portrait that was immediately condemned by temperance advocates. • In 1856, President Franklin Pierce decorates the first White House Christmas tree. • In 1907, Oklahoma became the last state to declare Christmas a legal holiday. • In 1937, the first postage stamp to commemorate Christmas was issued in Austria. • In 1945, a phonograph album containing Bing Crosby’s signature song, “White Christmas,” is released. The recording would go on to become the best-selling single ever, with sales of more than 50 million copies worldwide. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.
