Q: At a recent church sale, I bought about a dozen paper-back books from the 1940s and ‘50s. I bought them mostly for the covers, and paid 25 cents each for them. Do you think I got a bargain? My husband doesn’t. They include “Barbed Wire” by Mel Crair, “Mystery of the Red Triangle,” “Outlaw River” by Bliss Lomas, and “Ranger Justice” by J.E. Grin-stead. -- Mandy, Pueblo, Colorado

A: You got quite a bargain. I contacted several paperback dealers and consulted the “Collectible Paperback Price Guide” by Gary Lovisi. The titles you listed are worth a minimum of

Publisher's Corner by Sean AtheyHowdy everyone!

Sorry, I haven't been able to get some words down in the past few weeks. Lynette and I have been extremely busy bringing Tidbits to you and prepping for the coming winter. We also have been de-

veloping a ton of new stuff to bring you in the coming year!

We did get a chance to go over some of our numbers and thanks to you, our valued readers, our average pick-up rate is over 90%. That's nine out of every ten papers we produce are taken into your homes and shared with family, friends and neighbors, plus a large amount of the pickups from our businesses have been read... and we know that because the puzzles have been done or the coupons are cut out. So we just can't say it enough - THANK YOU - to our readers and our businesses that help us bring Tidbits to you each week. Be sure to thank our fine businesses that allow us to place our neat publication in their establishments - they appreciate hearing it.

Well, we are officially done with this year's gardening effort. The very last thing we did were 20 quarts of a potato/carrot combination with a little onion added. I had someone ask me why we do the gardening and canning, doesn't it take a lot of time? Yes, it does take time, but what a great reason to hang out and visit, while also ac-complishing something at the same time... idle hands are the devil's workshop!

There is also another simple reason... money... let's do the math for the 20 quarts mentioned

earlier. First off, we have invested in the jars and equipment over the years so we already had that part taken care of. Now for the produce, 25 lbs. of locally-grown potatoes from a farmer's mar-ket $8, bag of carrot seeds - $2.89 and a tray of onions sets, $1.99. We collect rainwater in three barrels, so we had no investment in watering. Ok, so that brings us to $12.88, with the only other in-vestment being time. From that we got 20 quarts, which is 4 servings per container for Lynette and I... so, 80 servings of homegrown, pesticide and chemical free food for 16¢ per serving that can last up to three years on the shelf... how can you go wrong?

I find a lot of satisfaction in being as self-suffi-cient as possible because the alternative is to be at the mercy of others who may not have your best interests in mind.

Well, it looks like I'm running out space here so I will have to answer the Question of the Week in the next issue... someone asked me, "Home many trees did you kill putting out your paper this week?"... oh, boy...that's a good one and I cannot wait to let you know my thoughts on that.

Please enjoy this issue, then share it with your friends and neighbors!

Here’s something many of us have been waiting on: the reversal of memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease. UCLA, working with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, created a multi-faceted approach to help participants with mild cognitive impairment, and for the first time, memory loss was reversed.

Granted, the study was small, just 10 people, but six patients were able to return to their job or found their job much easier to perform. Nine of the 10 participants experienced memory improvement starting within a few months, and some regained functions that they hadn’t had for many years. The final participant, with late-stage Alzheimer’s showed no improvement.

Alzheimer’s historically has been treated with monopharmaceuticals, which is one drug. It either works or it doesn’t.

The program created for this study was dif-ferent for each participant, but each involved 36

therapeutic points. Some of the overall parame-ters involved sleep changes, diet that eliminated gluten and processed food, fasting with timed meals, meditation for stress reduction, vitamins at specific times and exercise. All were very tightly regulated and complex -- and difficult to follow. No participant managed to follow all of the protocols, but they apparently saw enough of a benefit that they kept working at it.

No, this program isn’t something to try to create on your own. All of it was individualized per participant based on tests and ongoing prog-ress. But your doctor can get more information for you. If anything stands out as potentially promising for you or someone you know who has Alzheimer’s, it’s worth a look.

For more information, or for your doctor to see, go online to www.impactaging.com and search for “Reversal of Cognitive Decline: A Novel Therapeutic Program.”

Mrs. Jones went to the doctor: “I’m terribly worried about my boy. He thinks he’s a chicken.”

The doctor asked, “And how long has this been going on?”“Almost a year,” Mrs. Jones replied.

“Well for goodness sakes! Why didn’t you bring him to see me sooner?”

“Because we needed the eggs!”

NEW WATERTOWN LOCATION OPENING SOON

Conservative 2014 deer season will rebuild herd, challenge hunters

(Released October 27, 2014)By Tom Landwehr, commissioner, Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesLike more than 400,000 others, I am anxiously awaiting

Saturday, Nov. 8, when Minnesota’s firearms deer hunting season begins.

There’s nothing like it. The days of advance scouting. The physical struggle of putting up the new stands. The straining for vision and sound in the pre-dawn light of opening day. Anticipation is in full swing for weeks, and then it is upon us.

As I prepare for this year’s hunt, I am fully aware that I, like many other hunters, am less likely to bag a deer than in recent years. In fact, the lowest deer harvest in decades is expected under a harvest plan designed to rebuild the herd. We are conserving deer – does in particular — this season to improve deer numbers in the future.

Overall, most hunters in the state will be able to harvest only one deer. In much of northeastern Minnesota, where two consecutive severe winters took a toll on deer, hunters will only be able to shoot bucks. For me, someone who loves to eat venison, it will be tough to let a big doe go by. But, the deer herd can rebound quickly, and passing on the doe this year will contribute to a much larger herd next year.

For much of the recent past, the deer herd has been at his-toric high levels, and harvests have reflected that. In the past five years, and under a plan devised with hunter and land-owner input, the DNR deliberately reduced the size of the herd. Today’s populations are close to the goal numbers we set some six years ago. The severe winters of the last two years have driven herd levels lower than where we’d wanted them.

Over the past two years, we at the DNR have heard from hunters that deer numbers are now too low and that efforts to reduce deer numbers have gone too far. In listening sessions and in other ways, many have said it is time to rebuild the population. We agree.

So, this will be a conservative deer season with more pro-tections for antlerless deer throughout much of the state. The harvest could be as low as 120,000. That’s not many deer compared to recent harvests that have approached 200,000 animals. But, because they respond quickly, we will likely see some liberalization even next year.

Meanwhile, do know the DNR needs your help in re-evalu-ating deer population goals across the state. This goal-setting process began in 2012 in southern Minnesota and moved to southeastern Minnesota in 2014. Goals for the remainder of

PG 6

Minnesota will be set in 2015 and 2016. We want to hear from you.

How can you get involved? Starting in January, you can send in comments or attend public meetings to discuss deer populations in the region or area where you hunt, live or work. You’ll also be able to provide input through a ques-tionnaire designed for the process. You can even volunteer to serve on one of five advisory teams that will recommend deer population goals for each goal-setting block. You can nominate yourself through Monday, Nov. 17. Apply online.

Even with the reduced harvest, I am really looking for-ward to the deer opener. I will be spending much of the season with my son, Hunter. He’s a good partner. Like me, he enjoys the sights and sounds of the woods, likes sharing stories at the end of the day, and really likes the report of his trusty .308.

It’s possible we’ll see some antlerless deer we can’t har-vest, like many other folks. And that’s OK. It’s OK because we are rebuilding the herd. And it’s OK because for us suc-cess is not only about filling tags. It’s also about spending time together, being hunters, enjoying the outdoors and building the memories. We’Il have a good time together. And I expect even better times ahead.

What’s the difference between a hunter and a fisherman? A hunter lies in wait.

A fisherman waits and lies.

'Laughter is the shortest dis-

James and Mary, young couple, got married and went happily on their honeymoon. When they got back, Mary immediately phoned her mother and her mother obviously asked, "How was the honey-moon, dearest?"

"Oh, Ma," she replied, "he honeymoon was wonderful. So roman-tic..."

Then Mary burst out crying. "But, Ma, as soon as we returned home James started using the most ghastly language... saying things I've never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home.... Please, Ma."

"Calm down, Mary!," said her mother, "Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?"

Still sobbing, Mary whispered, "Oh, Ma...words like dust, iron, wash, and cook."

•If you heat a pita in the micro-wave first, it will be easier to open and will rip less. About 10 seconds should do. -- M.E. in Georgia• Two ways to remove a bandage:

Rub a little baby oil or vegetable oil over it. The oil will soak in and make it easier to remove. Or - and this works especially well with kids -- have them soak in the bath and use baby shampoo to soften the sticky edges. • I use double-stick tape to hang lighter items on my

walls, since it does not leave a hole, and I am a renter. You also can use it to reduce noise from vibrations. For instance, I used it in my car to keep the carpet lying flat in the trunk. -- J.T. via e-mail• Here is a sewing tip for your column: I prewash fab-rics that tend to shrink, before I use them to make cloth-ing items. That way, the fit is more accurate. -- G.V. in Indiana• I have said this before, but I’m happy to give a re-minder with the holidays coming up and possibly new

cellular technology in your family’s future: Many of us have found ourselves with old cellphones that still work, but don’t have the features we want. If you get a new phone, donate your old one. There are groups that refurbish the phones and give them to domestic violence victims for emergency purposes. Other groups send the phones back into use in the developing world. Any way you recycle your phone is a benefit to the en-vironment. Check with www.donateaphone.org, www.collectivegood.com or Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine.

• It was Hungarian mathematician Paul Er-dos who made the following sage observation: “Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back.”

• Board games date back at least 5,000 years, when people were playing on a board that looks like an ancestor to backgammon.

• The next time you’re overwhelmed with emo-tion and find yourself passionately kissing your partner, you probably won’t remember that one word to describe what you’re doing is “deoscula-tion.”

• It was in 1958 that the first stereo phonograph record went on sale.

• The soft drink 7-UP was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda -- and it contained lithium, which is now prescribed to treat manic depression. That ingredient (which continued to be part of the formula until the 1940s) probably helped spur the drink’s success, since 7-UP was introduced just before the Great Depression. The new name was derived from the size of the soda bottle (7 ounces) and “bottoms up,” which is presumably what many people did during the difficult years of the Depression.

To cut patient wait times, Department of Veterans Affairs chief Robert A. McDonald is touring the country to recruit doctors, dentists and nurses for the VA health-care system. He’s looking for 30,000 more medi-cal personnel.

So far, the VA secretary has made his pitch at Johns Hopkins, University of Vermont and UC Davis. On the schedule are Harvard, Howard and Tufts. Top drawer, all of them. To show he means business, at one recruiting location, McDonald even handed out his per-sonal cellphone number and email address.

There are benefits to hiring on as a doctor with the VA.

• The first is the eye-catching sum of $120,000 that will go toward paying student-loan debt, double the amount it used to be. The VA earmarked $5 billion for just this purpose.

• New doctors and other medical staff will know they’re practicing cutting-edge medicine.

• In September, it raised the starting pay rates for doctors dentists just coming in to the VA by an additional $20,000 to $35,000. That’s a necessary step: Most private sector doctors make more than those working for the VA.

• Students can do clinical rotations and get a foot in the door that way. Former combat medics and corpsmen can hire on as clini-cians. They’ll add 1,500 residencies across the VA system.

Meanwhile, the VA isn’t waiting on hiring. In Maryland, a dozen physicians have been hired and a contract with outside health care will hopefully allow patients to be seen within a week for primary care. White River Junction, Vermont, has brought on more than 50 people and needs more for their new programs.

So, opportunities are there for graduat-ing medical staff, and ideally better, faster health care is coming to veterans across the country.
