TIDBITS® LOOKS BACK AT

THE 1970’sby Kathy Wolfe

What do you remember most about the 1970s? It was a decade of progress, celebration and political scandal. Let’s take a leap back in time and remember these monumental events.

• The twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center were completed in 1972 and became the world’s tallest buildings, surpassing the Empire State Building, the record-holder for the previous 40 years. The towers didn’t hold on to the honor for very long, as Chicago’s Sears Tower outdid them in 1973.

• America celebrated its 200th birthday in 1976, commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Many of the festivities were centered in Philadelphia, the nation’s first capital and home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The city’s celebrations were tragically marred, however, by an epidemic of a respiratory disease that struck 231 people, killing 34. Because most of the dead were members of the American Legion attending a convention, the ailment was dubbed Legionnaire’s Disease. It was later identified as the result of a bacteria found in the air-conditioning pipes of the Bellevue Stratford Hotel. The air conditioning was quickly replaced, but the damage had been done to the hotel’s reputation, and it went bankrupt shortly afterward.

THE 1970s (continued):• On October 1, 1971, the 107-acre Walt Disney world resort officially opened, seven years after Walt Disney had procured 27,443 acres of land in central Florida. Unfortunately, Disney had passed away five years earlier and never saw his dream fulfilled. It is now the world’s most-visited entertainment resort and welcomes about 17 million visitors per year.

• Does the name Louise Brown ring a bell? She was a five-pound, 12-ounce baby girl delivered in July 1978, the world’s first test-tube baby, born as a result of the experimental in vitro fertilization process. Although called a test-tube baby, her conception actually took place in a petri dish. Brown became a mother herself in 2006.

• After scoring 1590 out of a possible 1600 on the SAT, 17-year-old Bill Gates enrolled at Harvard in 1973. He stayed in contact with his boyhood chum Paul Allen, and after dropping out of Harvard, Gates teamed up with Allen in 1975 to form Microsoft, a combined abbreviation of “microcomputer” and “software.”

• The big news of 1977 was the death of Elvis Presley, declared by the medical examiner as the result of “coronary arrhythmia.” Over the eight months prior to the King’s death, his physician had prescribed more than 10,000 doses

of sedatives, amphetamines and narcotics. The autopsy revealed 14 different drugs in Presley’s system at the time of his death. As thousands lined up outside Graceland’s gates during the funeral, a car swerved into a group of fans, killing two. More than 80,000 people lined the procession route to his Forest Hill Cemetery burial site.

• In 1972, burglars broke into the Democratic Party’s National Committee office at the Watergate Hotel. In the coming months it was revealed that President Richard Nixon was involved in covering up the burglary and possessed a number of stolen tapes. When he refused to surrender the tapes, a judge ordered the chief executive to hand them over. In 1974, impeachment proceedings were initiated against the president. In August of that year, Nixon resigned and Gerald Ford became president. A month later, Ford issued a full pardon to Nixon for “all offenses against the United States.”

• What were folks wearing in the 1970s? Bell-bottomed pants paired with either a turtleneck sweater or flower-print shirt was a popular look. After the premiere of the movie “Saturday Night Fever” in 1977, John Travolta’s three-piece suit and wide-collared shirt inspired the disco fashion. For women, hot pants and thigh-high boots were all the rage, as were fringed leather mini-skirts and platform shoes. Guys sported sideburns, and the large “Afro” hairstyle became fashionable.

• In the sports world, Hank Aaron beat Babe Ruth’s home run record when he hit his 715th career home run in April 1974. By the time Aaron retired in 1976, his record was 755 homers, one that held until 2006. ABC began broadcasting

Monday Night Football in 1970, and ESPN, an acronym for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, was launched in September 1979 as a cable network devoted strictly to sports broadcasting.

• In 1975, powerful Teamsters Union leader Jimmy Hoffa vanished from a restaurant parking lot in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He was allegedly tied to organized crime, and it was assumed he was killed by the Mafia. His body has never been found.

• On television, our favorite Westerns “Gunsmoke” and “The Virginian” were phased out, as were sitcoms “Bewitched” and “I Dream of Jeannie.” The Sci-Fi era was ushered in with hits such as “The Six-Million Dollar Man,” “The Bionic Woman” and “Battlestar Galactica.” The controversial sitcom “All in the Family” had its run

FAMOUS LANDMARKS:

WAR MEMORIALSAs Memorial Day approaches, Tidbits looks at two of America’s monuments to our fallen veterans.

• The black granite panels of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall are inscribed with the names of the 58,272 who died or remain missing from the war. About three million people visit this site every year.

• The Wall was the idea of Jan Scruggs, a corporal who served in Vietnam in 1969-1970 as part of the 199th Light Infantry Brigade. The memorial recognizes the sacrifice of all those who served. In 1979, he and a group of vets founded a nonprofit organization to raise funds for the project and raised nearly $9 million from private contributions, with no federal funds used. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed the legislation that provided the site near the Lincoln Memorial. A design contest was held, and in

1981, the winning design was chosen from 1,421 entries, submitted by a 21-year-old Yale University architecture student, Maya Ying Lin.

• Groundbreaking took place in March 1982, and the Wall’s official dedication took place in November of that year. Each of the V-shaped monument’s two sections is 246.75 feet (75.2 m) long and consists of 70 inscribed panels. The names were not carved by hand but rather by a computerized typesetting process. The black granite came from India, one of only three places in the world where this volume of black granite in large sizes could be found.

• The first casualty of the war was Richard Fitzgibbon, who died in June 1956. The name of his son is also etched in the granite; he was a casualty in September 1965.

• At least 25,000 of the dead were 20 years old or younger, 17,000 were married, and 1,200 are still missing. The names of eight women are listed.

• Also located in the Washington, D.C. area is the Marine Corps War Memorial, referred to by many as the Iwo Jima Memorial. This is because it is based on a photo snapped by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945, as six Marines raised the U.S. flag on the Island of Iwo Jima during a fierce 36-day battle. Although the sculpture is modeled after World War II heroes, it actually memorializes all Marines who have given their lives since 1775 and was dedicated on the Marine Corps 179th anniversary in 1954.

• The sculpture sits on a 7.5-acre tract of land in Arlington, Virginia, just outside the walls of Arlington National Cemetery, overlooking the Potomac River.

• It is the largest bronze statue in the world, standing 78 feet (23.8 m) tall, with a weight of 100 tons. The figures are 32 feet (9.8 m) high and wear helmets with a 3.5-foot (1.1-m) diameter. The flagpole is 60 feet (18.3 me) long. A proclamation was issued in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy that a U.S. flag should fly from the memorial 24 hours a day. There are 108 parts in the sculpture that are bolted and welded together from the inside, with access to the inside through a trap door in one of the soldier’s cartridge belts.

THE 1970s (continued):

from 1971 to 1979, featuring the fictional Archie Bunker’s frequently inappropriate remarks about religious, political and social issues of the day. Game shows gained in popularity, including “Wheel of Fortune,” “Family Feud” and “The Price is Right,” first hosted by Bob Barker in 1972. NBC debuted “Saturday Night Live” in 1975; George Carlin was the first host with musical guests Janis Ian and Billy Preston. HBO was inaugurated as the first pay-TV channel in 1972.

• Hard rockers were listening to the likes of Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple, while Southern rockers tuned into The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Disco lovers listened to the Bee Gees and danced the Hustle, and soft rock folks enjoyed the crooning of the Carpenters, Barry Manilow and the Osmonds. Billboard magazine declared Elton John the best artist of the decade. We started listening to our music on the Sony Walkman, a portable cassette player, in 1979.

• At the theaters we were viewing “The Godfather,” “Rocky” and “Dirty Harry.” We were scared out of our seats by “The Exorcist,” “Jaws” and “Carrie” and laughed uproariously at “Animal House,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Monty Python.” George Lucas’ career took off with “American Graffiti” in 1973, followed by “Star Wars” in 1977, which quickly became the highest-grossing film of all time, an honor it maintained for the next five years.

OH, DEER!Need to know more about the family Cervidae? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Here are some facts you may not know about deer.

• The word “deer” comes from the Old English word der, meaning “beast.” All species of the deer family are ruminants, meaning the stomach is divided into three or four compartments. They are also characterized by deciduous antlers — antlers that they shed.

• There are 38 different species of deer, including the more common white-tailed and mule as well as elk, moose, caribou and reindeer.

• Deer are excellent swimmers, even the enormous moose, which can paddle several miles at a time and completely submerge for upwards of 30 seconds.

• The smallest of the North American deer is the white-tailed deer. It’s also the most abundant big game animal on the continent. The white-tail is native to all but five U.S. states — You won’t find it in Nevada, Utah, California, Alaska or Hawaii. The white-tail can jump as high as 10 feet (3 m) and as far as 30 feet (9 m) in distance. The adult male weighs in at about 200 pounds (90.7 kg). The color of its upper body and sides changes with the seasons — It’s reddish-brown in the summer and a light buff color in winter.

•A male moose can weigh up to 1,800 pounds (816 kg). Considering their size, moose are remarkably swift runners, up to 35 mph (56 km/hr) over short distances and

a steady trot of 20 mph (32 km/hr) for longer intervals. A newborn moose weighs about 30 pounds (14 kg) and grows surprisingly quickly. At just five days old, a calf can outrun a human.

• Folks talking about wapiti are referring to elk, second in size only to the moose. A typical bull elk weighs about 700 pounds (315 kg), twice as much as a mule deer, and grows to a height of 5 feet (1.5 m) with a length of 8 feet (2.4 m). The male elk sprouts antlers each year, which may be 3.9-feet (1.2 m) long and weigh as much as 40 pounds (18 kg). Antlers grow at a rate of nearly an inch (2.5 cm) a day and are covered with velvet during the growing season. The Asian culture uses the velvet in some of its medicines.

• Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is really a caribou. Caribou live in northern North America, Europe, Asia and Greenland. Typically, the Europeans refer to the species as reindeer, and nearly all Asian and European reindeer are domesticated, while the caribou of North America travel in

large wild herds. At the time of the season’s first snowfall, caribou begin a southern migration, traveling as much as 1,600 miles (2,574 km) each year. During the construction of the Alaska Pipeline, it was specifically stipulated that the project could not block caribou migrations.

• Caribou are the only species in which the females can grow antlers. The female will bear just one calf each year, one that will be on its feet and traveling the very next day. Its large hooves act as snowshoes to support its bulk over the snow.

Make a Picture-Perfect Storybook for Mom

When I got going on this year’s spring cleaning, the ritual started with my laptop. There weren’t any dust bunnies between the keys, but when I opened my digital photo library, you would think I was a likely candidate for a TV show on hoarding. I needed to get the chaos under control, but the organizing task seemed more daunting than tackling closets or even our garage.

I signed up for a group iPhoto session at my local Apple retail store and happily got support, but not just the techie kind. As we attendees introduced ourselves, the woman next to me unapologetically admitted that her digital photo library had surged like a tsunami from 5,000 to 22,000 since the birth of her grandchild. I felt better already.

Inspired to clear out my digital clutter, I decided to tame the images while on a visit to my 87-year-old mom’s home in California. “I’ve never seen that one,” she’d say over my shoulder as I clicked through pictures of three years of milestones, meals and family trips. Once I had flagged 50 of her “must haves,” including downloads I snitched from her grandkids’ Facebook pages, it hit me that instead of making prints, I could secretly “publish” a photo book for

a unique Mother’s Day gift.

Easy to create through computer programs, photo-sharing sites, discount stores and pharmacies, a collection of photos can come together in a nifty thin volume starting at $10. Once you upload the photos to the Web, it takes about a week to get the picture-perfect storybook for Mom.

Think of more themes for other reasonably priced books that will get your photos out of hiding. It’s another way to make them worth taking in the first place. Here are some ideas:

--New baby in the house? Keep a file of the best shots of the year, and make a book annually on your child’s birthday. Send it to grandparents and great-grandparents. As their

annual collection grows, enjoy thumbing through the photo yearbooks with your kids when you stop by for a visit.

--Vacation memories 2012. Create a book this year and in years to come featuring a trip you enjoy with your kids or with extended family. Make copies for each family for a holiday gift this December.

--Mark a 2012 milestone. Assemble

all the photos from your child’s graduation celebration, sports season or other event, and put the milestone under one cover.

Pruning TipsQ: I haven’t pruned many of my hedges and trees in several years, and some of them have grown wild and ragged-looking. If they’re past the blooming stage, is it safe to trim them? Also, any tips to make this task easier? -- Carol in Oklahoma

A: Trying to tackle all of the shrubbery and trees in your yard can be daunting, even when it hasn’t been several years since their last pruning. The best thing to do is take an initial tour of your yard with notebook in hand. Mentally split the yard into several sections, and then note what needs to be done in each: trimming, pruning or even removal of foliage.

Next, tackle each section one at a time. Depending on your schedule, you may need to do one section each day. A particularly foliage-heavy section may take an entire weekend. You might need help from friends or relatives to take care of large or excessively high hedges, meaning you’ll need to plan a time for them to come over. And if a tree needs complex trimming -- for example, its branches are encroaching on the roof or on power lines -- you’ll need to arrange for a professional tree trimmer to inspect

it, provide an estimate and do the work.

Pruning on your own takes a little practice, but don’t worry too much about mistakes, as they will eventually grow out. Plants that have already bloomed can be pruned without a problem, and plants or trees that are still blooming are, by this time of year, safe to trim.

As you’ll likely be piling up a lot of branches and limbs, check with your local government about proper disposal of yard waste. Most have programs in place, such as scheduled pickup dates during the growing season, and guidelines for containers or bags that the trimmed branches should be placed in. If you hire a tree trimmer, be sure to ask how branches will be disposed of, and if that cost is included in the estimate.

Keep hedge and tree-trimming equipment sharp, clean and lightly oiled so that they cut branches cleanly and efficiently.

How Diabetes Is DiagnosedDEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a friend whose glucose tests taken in the morning range from 140 (7.8) to 200 (11) and are never in the normal range. He is constantly thirsty and has other diabetes symptoms. His doctor ordered a hemoglobin A1C test, which came back as 5.2. The doctor told him that they no longer do the fasting blood sugar test, only the HbA1C, and that he is not diabetic, since his test is normal. Has testing for diabetes changed? Should my friend consult another doctor? -- L.P.

ANSWER: Up until 2010, doctors diagnosed diabetes on the basis of blood sugar (actually plasma glucose). A relatively new test, hemoglobin A1C, HbA1C or just A1C, has been added to the criteria for both diagnosing diabetes and monitoring diabetes control in the past year or so. Hemoglobin is a large molecule inside all red blood cells that grabs oxygen from the lungs and releases it to all parts of the body as blood circulates. Blood sugar coats hemoglobin. Since red blood cells last 120 days, the percentage of hemoglobin coated with sugar indicates how well-controlled diabetes is. An acceptable control level is one that is 7 percent or less.

Fasting blood sugar, the specimen taken after at least eight hours of not eating, is still used for diagnosing diabetes. A level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher lands one in diabetes territory.

A second way to diagnose diabetes is to give a person 75 grams of glucose (sugar) to eat and test the blood two hours later. A value of 200 (11.1) qualifies as diabetes.

Now a third way of making the diagnosis is employing HbA1C. One selling point for using it is that there’s no requirement for fasting. HbA1C of 6.5 or greater makes the diagnosis.

Your friend is a diabetic. His fasting blood sugar qualifies him as being one. Furthermore, he has a diabetes symptom -- perpetual thirst. He probably has to urinate frequently, another diabetes symptom. The fact that his HbA1C is normal doesn’t cancel these facts. That test is only one of three. He should see another doctor.

The diabetes booklet guides people through this prevalent and difficult illness. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 402W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: A friend of ours is in a nursing home with pneumonia. We’re afraid to visit her. Is pneumonia catchy? -- A.M.

ANSWER: A huge number of different germs cause the many different kinds of pneumonia. A blanket statement on transmission, therefore, is impossible. The pneumococcus (NEW-moe-KOK-us) bacterium is a prominent cause of pneumonia, especially in adults and older adults. This germ can be spread in droplets coming from a cough or sneeze. However, 24 hours of treatment renders the patient no longer a transmitter.

You can bank on it that a hospital or a nursing home will not let you visit any patient who might be at risk of spreading any infectious disease.

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.

Billboard Warns Chicago of Hot Dog

Cancer LinkWASHINGTON—A huge billboard off the Eisenhower Expressway warns Chicagoans that eating hot dogs can damage their health.

The board, sponsored by the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, reads, “Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer” and directs readers to www.PCRM.org.

The billboard also features a cartoon drawing of a man in a hospital gown, hot dog in one hand, perplexed eyes fixed on his protruding behind. The ad is visible from the Eisenhower Expressway heading west, between the Kostner and Cicero exits, and is located at 621 S. Kolmar.

The billboard’s blunt language was prompted by a recent survey showing that a surprising number—39 percent—of Americans do not know what the colon is.

“Colon cancer is a killer, and processed meats get much of the blame,” says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., nutrition education director for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. “Many Americans have no idea that eating hot dogs and bacon raises their risk of this deadly disease. Even a few servings of processed meat a week can increase cancer danger.”

One in three Americans does not know what part of the body is more likely to get cancer as a result of eating processed meats frequently, according to a recent telephone survey of the U.S. adult public conducted by ORC International of Princeton, N.J., sponsored by PCRM. Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed did not know that “colon” is another name for the large intestine.

Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year, as well as significant amounts of bacon, cold cuts, and other

processed meats. Chicago is one of the largest consumers of hot dogs nationwide, and hot dog restaurants here are said to outnumber all fast-food restaurants combined. The Chicago area is home to leading hot dog manufacturers like Kraft Foods, which produces Oscar Mayer franks, Sara Lee, producer of Ball Park Franks, and Vienna Beef.

Illinois also has one of the nation’s highest rates of colorectal cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Illinois ranks sixth in the nation for colorectal cancer incidence rates. Illinois men are also among the most likely in the nation to get colorectal cancer. Every year, more than 140,000 Americans are

diagnosed with colorectal cancer and more than 50,000 die of it.

Consuming processed meats increases the risk of colorectal cancer, according to a large number of studies, including the European Prospective

Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Studies also show a strong link between other types of cancer and processed meats. An NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, for example, found that processed red meat was associated with a 10 percent increased risk of prostate cancer with every 10 grams of increased intake.

You can download the billboard image from www.pcrm.org/images/media/releases/PCRM_Butt_Cancer_Billboard.jpg

Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research,and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

HEALTH BITS FACTS:Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States A few weeks ago a similar huge billboard aimed at baseball fans was erected near the new Miami Marlins stadium. Miami-Dade has one of the highest “colon cancer” rates in the nation, with about 13 hundred people a year diagnosed with the cancer.

Create a Home Spa for Mother’s Day

If you’re looking for an unusual (and budget-friendly) gift Mother’s Day, why not create a spa at home? You can pamper Mom using a few simple recipes that will make her feel loved from head to toe.

When mixing your home spa treatments, use fresh, high quality ingredients for the best results. All of the ingredients can be found in your refrigerator, pantry or local grocery store.

Never use ingredients for your home spa treatments that you wouldn’t want to eat. Your skin, the largest organ on your body, breathes and is porous. It will absorb the properties of the ingredients you are using.

Finally, ensure the containers or jars you will be using are sterile by boiling them in hot water. This will help prevent contamination of your finished product, which could lead to spoilage. Do not store the assembled spa treatments any longer than the shelf life of the most perishable ingredient.

A pretty box or basket filled with jars of your custom-made spa treatments, a decorative label you create, hand-written or printed instruction labels, and a note of appreciation for your Mom makes the perfect gift for Mother’s Day!

CUCUMBER HAIR TREATMENT

If Mom loves to swim or has trouble with dry hair, this home-made spa treatment works wonders to combat the effects of chlorine damage and adds moisture to the hair.

1 egg 3 tablespoons olive oil?1/2 medium-sized cucumber, peeled and chopped

Blend egg, olive oil and cucumber in a blender or food processor until smooth. Spread evenly through hair, leave on for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

TOMATO BLEMISH REMEDY

This homemade spa recipe aids with facial blemishes using household ingredients.

1 ripe tomato, chopped1 teaspoon lemon juice1 tablespoon instant-style oatmeal or old fashioned rolled oats

Blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until just combined into a paste. Apply to blemishes on the skin, making sure mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave on skin 10 minutes. Remove mixture with damp washcloth, rinse and pat dry.

CHOCOLATE FACIAL MASK

This creamy mask is an excellent moisturizer, leaving skin baby soft. Recommended for normal skin.

1/3 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch processed)3 teaspoons heavy cream 2 teaspoons cottage cheese 1/4 cup honey 3 teaspoons instant oatmeal

Mix all ingredients together in food processor or blender. Smooth mixture onto face. Relax for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat face dry.

STRAWBERRY HAND AND FOOT EXFOLIANT

Strawberries contain a natural fruit acid that aids exfoliation.

8-10 strawberries2 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon of coarse salt, such as Kosher Salt or Sea Salt

Mix all ingredients together into a paste using food processor or blender. Use mixture over a sink or place feet in empty tub, as the paste is messy. Massage mixture onto hands and feet. Leave on hands and feet for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.

A Message fromB-True Organics...

The overall goal at B-True Organics is not to eliminate the use of all chemicals used in personal care products; rather the goal is to make consumers aware of the existence of those chemicals in personal care products and their possible association to human health problems. We, at B-True Organics, believe if the consumers are informed, they will make a conscious effort to choose personal care products with reduced chemical toxins. We are aware that certain chemicals are needed for some products and that not all chemicals are harmful. We also know that certain consumers can have an allergic reaction to some chemical ingredients, but allergic reactions don’t necessarily make an ingredient toxic. Many people have allergies to certain foods, such as peanuts which is considered to be a healthy food, that millions of others can eat and experience without suffering from any allergic reactions. Also, many people that are on blood pressure medication cannot eat grapefruit, yet we all know that grapefruit is not a toxic food in general. Of course, keep in mind, that ANYTHING can become toxic to our bodies, even water, if you consume too much of anything. There are some manufacturers that don’t understand how to properly formulate products and thus rely solely on chemists to formulate their products. Unfortunately, many chemists are still formulating utilizing old methods, or simply preferring to use cheaper ingredients. They don’t want to reformulate a product using non-paraben preservatives, for example, because that would force

them to possibly change many other ingredients in the product or add new ingredients, change the quantities of the ingredients, etc., which can be costly. Instead, they focus on how to make the product even cheaper and how to “water down” the product just to save the company money. This might be saving the company money, but it is also causing the consumer’s health to be in jeopardy. We already see the devastating effects of these toxins in adults today but if you really think about it, we still don’t truly know the long-term effects of chemicals, preservatives, etc., on children since this is a relatively new practice of adding these ingredients into personal care products. Adults today weren’t exposed to as much chemicals when they were growing up. The levels of chemicals in products are increasing each year. Kids as young as 4 years old have cell phones. Did you have a cell phone when you were 4? Imagine what an impact that makes on a child’s life, who then uses chemical-laden personal products on top of all that, which have ten times more chemicals in personal care products today than they were when we were our children’s ages.

We believe the solution is education. We vow to continue researching personal care products ingredients so that we may continue to have available to you the highest quality non-toxic skincare, the best all-natural skincare and superior organic skincare products.

Dog Isn’t Welcome at Wedding Venues

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My fiance and I are getting married at the end of June, and we want “Suzee,” our bichon frise, to be an important part of the ceremony. We agreed that she would be present as we exchange our vows, and will be in our wedding pictures.

The trouble is that we cannot find a venue that allows dogs, other than service dogs, inside. And we even had to drop one pastor who said that he would not allow Suzee to be present when he led the ceremony! Can you help? -- Kurt W. in upstate New York

DEAR KURT: First of all, congratulations! Second, it’s not unusual for owners to include their pets in important life events like weddings. But it can be difficult finding a venue that accepts pets.

You should hit the Internet to search for venues that welcome dogs. Dogfriendly.com is a comprehensive guide to hotels and other facilities where dogs are allowed. Another site, vowwowwow.wordpress.com, is specifically for owners looking to include their pets in their wedding ceremony. Other sources are business review sites like Yelp.com,

or word of mouth from friends and neighbors.

Even before you settle on a venue, start planning how Suzee will be incorporated into not just the ceremony, but the entire day. You and your fiancee will be incredibly busy and distracted. Heidi Ganahl, CEO of Camp Bow Wow, advises couples to choose a trusted friend, or hire a professional pet sitter, to be Suzee’s caretaker throughout the event. Her attendant won’t just walk Suzee down the aisle to you, but also make sure she is f e d ,

exercised, monitored and has enough “quiet time” so she doesn’t get stressed out.

Best wishes on this important day!

Independent Foreclosure Review

If you experienced a foreclosure on your primary residence between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2010, you could be eligible for a free Independent Foreclosure Review and compensation. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has required that 14 of the biggest mortgage-servicing institutions create independent review programs to discover whether “financial injury” occurred due to errors or mistakes in the foreclosure process.

For example, if the balance at foreclosure was more than you owed, you were part of a modification agreement, you were under bankruptcy protection or if inaccurate fees were tacked on to your mortgage, you might qualify for help.

The errors could have occurred at any step of the foreclosure process: The house was sold under a foreclosure, foreclosure was halted when payments were brought current, foreclosure was initiated but the house was quickly sold, or foreclosure was started but isn’t finalized yet.

The foreclosure review includes whether:--ownership of the promissory note or deed of trust had been determined

--state laws were followed

--a loan modification request was being considered at the time

--the loan had been in default for the required period of time

--fees were charged that were not allowable or were excessive

--borrowers had the opportunity to apply for help programs such as HAMP.

The banks involved are: America’s Servicing Co., Aurora Loan Services, BAC Home Loans Servicing, Bank of America, Beneficial, Chase, Citibank, CitiFinancial, CitiMortgage, Countrywide, EMC, EverBank/EverHome Mortgage Company, Financial Freedom, GMAC Mortgage, HFC, HSBC, IndyMac Mortgage Services, MetLife Bank, National City Mortgage, PNC Mortgage, Sovereign Bank, SunTrust Mortgage, U.S. Bank, Wachovia Mortgage, Washington Mutual (WaMu), Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Wilshire Credit Corp.

Letters were to have gone out last year to all who lost properties under foreclosure, but if you didn’t get one, it’s not too late to join the review process. But you only have until July 31, 2012, to complete the request and get it in the mail. If your foreclosure process started in 2010 but didn’t end until 2011, you’re still eligible.

To request a form or for help filling out a form, can call the comptroller at 1-888-952-9105. To learn more, go online to www.occ.gov and click on Independent Foreclosure Review.

Pinto Bean BurritosMakes 8 burritos

1 onion, chopped 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 cup water 4 cups cooked pinto beans 1 tomato, chopped 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 8 whole-wheat tortillas

Combine onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, and water in a saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.

Heat beans, mash them, and add to saucepan. Add tomato, salt, and black pepper. Stir and simmer for 15 minutes.

Warm tortillas by lightly toasting in a dry hot skillet for less than a minute each. Alternately, tortillas can be warmed by wrapping in a dish towel and heating in a strainer basket over boiling water for a few minutes.

Place bean filling on tortillas, top with salsa, hot sauce, nutritional yeast flakes, or shredded lettuce, if desired, and roll up.

Quickie QuesadillasMakes 8 servings

These quesadillas are a truly happy marriage between cultures: Middle Eastern red pepper hummus served with Mexican corn tortillas and garnished with salsa makes an absolutely delicious meal or snack.

1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained 1/2 cup water-packed roasted red peppers 3 teaspoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed butter) 1 garlic clove, peeled 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 8 corn tortillas 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 1/2 - 1 cup salsa

Place garbanzo beans in a food processor or blender with roasted peppers, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and cumin. Process until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

Spread a tortilla with 2 to 3 tablespoons of garbanzo mixture and place in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with onions, tomatoes, and salsa.

Top with a second tortilla and cook until bottom tortilla is warm and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook second side for another minute. Remove from pan and cut in half. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

ALL THE ANSWERS!!!!

• Buff spots off of silver with toothpaste. Rub gently with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry.

• Keep your dishcloths and sponges germ-free and smelling sweet. Once weekly, soak them overnight in a few cups of water to which you’ve added a tablespoon or so of bleach. It will keep them from developing a mildew smell.

• “To keep mixes from bunching up on the beaters of my mixer, I spray them with a little canola oil right before mixing. It isn’t enough to affect the recipe, but I think it helps them do a better job. And I don’t have to stop the mixer so often to scrape the dough from the beaters.” -- R.V. in Oklahoma

• To clean tea-stained cups, use a couple of drops of dishwasher detergent. Stir and let set, then scrub out. It should wipe right out.

• “If there’s a lot of burned-on food stuck to your pan, just add water immediately after cooking, then stick it in the oven (if oven-safe) at a low temperature for a little bit. It will soften the food and you can clean it much easier.” -- U.A. in Montana

• “Save larger envelopes in which you receive mail. You can reuse them by gluing or taping a new label on the front. You can close them with packing tape. Some of these envelopes are expensive.” -- T.G. in South Carolina

HOLLYWOOD -- “Desperate Housewives” fans will not be disappointed when they visit Wisteria Lane for the last time. Most shows leave too many unanswered questions when they end. In a stroke of genius, producer Mark Cherry has invented the anti-cliff hanger! If all goes as planned, on Sunday, May 13, not only will you know what happens on Wisteria Lane, but you’ll see where the ladies will be, through a flash-forward, two decades from now. This beautifully sets up a possible big screen spin-off that will fill in the blanks of what happened in the interim. “Sex and the City” proved loyal fans will support a TV show transferred to the big screen, and certainly “Desperate Housewives” has that kind of following!

Why do networks insist on pitting popular shows against

each other? NBC just HAD to move “The Voice” against “Dancing With the Stars.” The average match-up finds “Dancing With the Stars” with 16.3 million viewers, while “The Voice” has 9.9 million viewers. “DWTS’s” lead-in helps “Castle” get 11.5 million viewers, outpointing “Hawaii Five-0” with 6.l million viewers and “Smash” with 5.9 million.

“Smash” is having a tough time finding an audience against two long-running, successful series. Some feel the making of a Broadway musical doesn’t interest a lot of viewers outside the big cities. The producers of “Smash” lack the confidence to follow their original plan of showing what it takes to mount a Broadway musical, without melodramatic cliche subplots. The musical is about Marilyn Monroe; wouldn’t telling her tragic story attract more viewers? After all, she’s still the most enduring icon in pop culture today!

Nicole Kidman, Oscar winner for “The Hours” (2003), is set to play Grace Kelly in “Grace of Monaco.” Director Olivier Dahan, who guided Marion Cotillard to her Oscar win in “La Vie en Rose” (2008), will show Grace’s transition from movie star to princess. I met Grace Kelly in l964, after she’d been to a matinee of Richard Burton’s “Hamlet.” I waited for her at The Plaza Hotel, expecting her to arrive by limo, but instead saw her walking down 59th Street with two older women. As she approached, I asked if I could take her picture. The two older ladies moved to protect her, and one said, “I beg your pardon young man, you are addressing Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco.” I said, “To me and millions of other Americans, she’ll always be little Gracie Kelly from Philly.” Laughing, Grace brushed them aside and said, “It’s OK, go ahead. I’ll pose for a few pictures for this boy.” You might say I got the royal treatment!
