Several generations have passedsince a great, great grandfatherof mine was referred to as a HeroOf Tennessee. Though I heard re-
ference to him, I never knew why. Thenone day, a book titled Valor In Gray,written by Gregg S. Clemmer, featuredthe 50 posthumous southern recipientsof the Medal of Honor, a plan begunduring the Civil War but not approveduntil 1968.
Clemmer’s story about James Keelan(1818-1895) begins: “With instructionsto guard the railroad bridge at StrawberryPlains against all marauders, Private Kee-lan single-handedly defended his postagainst an overwhelming enemy forceintent on burning the bridge. Armed witha single-shot pistol and a Bowie knife....”
A hearty Scotsman, James Keelanwas shot in the left elbow, the right arm,and the right hip. He suffered three sabercuts to the neck and scalp and the lossof his left hand. His hand was buried atStrawberry Plains. His years, followingthe war, were spent selling firewood.
Many years later, my father wasn’tdrafted into the Army because he hadseveral children to raise… so, he servedhis wartime years working at the localshell loading plant and acting as an airraid warden during blackouts.
My husband was a paratrooper wholoved to say, “I went up in a plane eight
times but never landed.” His time in theservice was in Japan in the peace-keep-ing forces, before I met him.
When my son went into the Army, hewas one of the men chosen to serve asan ‘old guard’ in Washington, D.C.
I have never felt the blows of havinga military representative come to thedoor with the terrible news of the loss ofa loved one. Yet, I am filled with com-passion for those who have enduredafter receiving such devastating news.
At the Veterans Home it pleases meto talk with the veterans and to listen totheir special stories. I had one veteran inmind when writing this article, Tom, whowrites weekly letters to his sister andincludes a copy of articles “written by along-time friend.” This friend salutes allyou wonderful men and women whohave protected, do protect, and will bein place to protect our country. Godbless you. ST

Mealtime can be a great timeto bond with your pet. How-ever, finding the right food cansometimes be a process of
trial and adjustment. As a nutritionist, I receive thousands of
e-mails and phone calls each year from con-cerned “pet parents” looking for the rightfood for their pets.
While it is very easy to blame the foodfor problems, in many cases, it is simply nomore than the wrong choice and wrongapplication of a food that is really the cause.More often than not, the source of the prob-lem is not the food but simple misunder-standings that I call “pet-parent faux paws.”Here are some examples:
Dirty Dishes: Would you eat off a dirtyplate or drink out of a dirty glass? Feedingand water dishes must be kept clean for theexact same reasons we as humans clean ourdishes. If not cleaned, dirty dishes becomean excellent place for bacteria to grow.
Toys and Rawhides: Toys and rawhidesare often overlooked as potential causesof problems for pets.
Partially chewed rawhides usually comeinto contact with unclean areas and areespecially wonderful places for bacteria togrow and then introduce themselves to thepet upon reuse. Make sure toys are cleanedregularly and partially chewed rawhidesare discarded.
Battle of the Bulge: An overweight pethas an increased chance of such health con-cerns as diabetes, joint damage, heart dis-ease, and more. Many owners think gettinga pet to lose weight is as easy as feedingless. Unfortunately, reducing the serving sizeoften leaves pets hungry and their bodyundersupported. Pet owners should looktoward complete dry diets that offer WeightManagement or Reduced Activity dietsto help deliver proper nutrition whilelosing weight.
Finding the right food for your pet isoften achieved through trial and adjustment;however, avoiding some common pitfallsmay set your furry family member on thepath toward a long and healthy life. ST
Common Pet Nutrition Faux “Paws”
A common mistake many pet ownersmake is feeding a pet a weight manage-ment food and then overindulging with
treats and table scraps.

Several years, Peg and I visited friendsin the Tennessee Mountains. Theyhad invited us to see their new homesurrounded by woods and vistas sec-
ond to none. Every room unique, we wereawed by the rustic décor. We thought wewere finished with the tour, when the hostsuggested we go upstairs.
There was a large unfinished second floorattic, which the owners hoped to finish toaccommodate more guests and family. Clut-tered, the area was crammed with an odd-ball collection of stuff that needed culling,or maybe a trip to the dump, but, one man’strash is another man’s story.
My interest waned. It was hot. This wasnot a place for a leisurely visit. Not want-ing to be rude; I suggested that Peg mightlike a drink of water. That worked and weprepared to leave for cooler quarters whensomething shiny caught my eye. It sat onthe floor, deep in the back of the room. Itwas about 15 inches tall and sunbeams hadcreated a beacon. I was drawn, moth-like,to the light.
The tall object sat on a sea green base.Its chrome dome, obviously a motor, hadcaused the light flash. It had a long stemsticking downward from the motor. I knewimmediately that it was a magical milk-shake machine; the drugstore kind; the talldome kind that reflected young couplessitting on stools, holding hands, and mak-ing google eyes at each other. The magicmachine that swirled up one giant glass;perfect for a two straw, close encounter,first date memory.
‘Where in the world did you find that,’I asked?
‘Someone gave it to us, but we never useit so I just stuck it up here.’
‘Does it work?’ said with a kickingtires attitude.
‘I think so, we just never used it.’ By now my brain was twirling with
anticipation, but first rule of junk negotia-tion; stay nonchalant. ‘Would you sell it;since you’re not using it; it’s just collect-ing cobwebs. What’d you take for it?’ Iasked, (prepared to offer a princely sum.)
‘Not interested in selling: but you canhave it. It’s no good to us.’
My brain, closely aligned with my tastebuds, was salivating with possibilities. choco-late, vanilla, butterscotch, mint, …umm ,ummmmm, …the combinations endless.
Second and third rule of junking: Neverlet ‘em see you sweat or your heart beat-ing through your shirt.’ I kept wondering,‘What are these people thinking?’ Are theyreally going to give me this magnificentjewel? Will I feel guilty about ‘stealing’such a valuable object from friends? (Yea,for a little while, but not really. They offeredit of their own free will. I’m helping themclear the attic! Rationalization is easy whenyour stomach is growling.)
I asked again. ‘Are you certain you wantto give it away?’
‘Yes… please take it.’ I acted immediately stepping over family
heirlooms and assorted dust-catchers likeall of us store in attics. I reached the cor-
ner and picked’er up. Heavy! I hadn’tanticipated the weight of chrome and steel.Lugging it down stairs was not easy.
I made my way back to the first floor—prize in hand—glowing with the goodydelight of a kid at Christmas. Wow, was all Icould think. Wow! I was so grateful for theirgenerosity, but fourth law of junk negotiation:stay emotionless. Indicate that the thingmight or might not work, but you’re glad tohelp them clear the space. (Keep a straightface while your heart is doing a happy dance.)
We visited a while longer, and eventu-ally made our way to the car. I gently securedthe treasure in the trunk and wondered howlong it would take me to get home andplug’er up! Not long I hoped.
Despite my Forest Gump-like, ice-creamflavored-daydreams, the trip home seemedto take forever. ‘Grab the kids; unload thecar,’ I told Peg, ‘I’ll get the important stuffin the trunk.’
Rushing into the kitchen I prepared tofeast. Out came the frozen vanilla yogurt,chocolate syrup, and milk. I was in gourmetheaven. In the tall mixing container I placed4 or five scoops of yogurt. (That’s more thanthe old-time drugstore clerks use, but hey—this was mine and we make this stuffby my rules now!) I added enough syrupto produce a rich dark flavor, and then fin-ished off with milk and a spoonful of malt.I was producing one of the world’s finesthealth foods; a home-made malted milk-shake. (Oh hush… this has milk, and yogurt,and sugar and whatever else you want toput in it and I’ll call it health food if Iwant to.) I was at master control of amagic machine.
Now… many years later, the HamiltonBeach magic maker still sits on our kitchencounter; tall and proud and re-wired a fewyears ago. It has provided entertainment fora generation of grandchildren who rush intoour lives with…‘Papa, Papa, make us a milk-shake.’ It is a curiosity to young visitors whohave never seen such a thing and approach itwith the caution of a space alien. For seniorfriends, it is a pleasant reminder of innocentdays. Almost in reverence, they’ll whisper:‘Is this what I think it is?’
Yes, it is. It’s the magic you rememberfrom the best of your days. Bring the fix-ins’ and I’ll do the mixin’. ST

For many years, pet owners havegiven omega-3 fatty acids totheir dogs to change a dull, drycoat into a more glossy one.
A shiny coat and healthy skin on theoutside can be indicators of a healthypet on the inside. Conversely, skin prob-lems may indicate a need for dietarychanges or supplementation.
Always check your dog’s skin andcoat for such troubling signs as hair loss,raw spots or brittle hair, and watch forexcessive scratching. While several fac-tors, including heredity and grooming,can affect skin and coat conditions,nutrition is an important factor. If yourpet exhibits any of these symptoms, besure to ask your veterinarian about thebenefits of omega-3 fatty acid supple-mentation. Many veterinarians recom-mend it to reduce the amount of corti-costeroid or antihistamine needed tocontrol itching and for overall skin andcoat health.
Research has shown that omega-3scan benefit a variety of other conditions.
According to a study published in theAssociation, fish oil (which contains thelong-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and
DHA) helps modify inflammatory re-sponses in dogs with joint problems orconditions re lated to immune function.
Another study published by the samejournal found that diets or supplementscontaining DHA may improve memoryor learning abilities of young dogs.
These dietary modifications are beingused to enhance the performance ofworking and companion dogs.
Fish oil is a better source of omega-3sthan flaxseed or other vegetable oilsbecause it contains the long-chainomega-3s EPA and DHA recommendedby experts, while the vegetable sourcescontain short-chain omega-3s. Alwayschoose a high-quality omega-3 fish oilsupplement. ST

The decision to put a pet tosleep is a very stressful andpainful time yet, it is one ofthe most loving and compas-
sionate decisions a pet owner can makewhen the time comes to say goodbye.Unfortunately, the dreaded drive to theclinic, waiting in the lobby filled withother clients, and the drive home alonecan make this tough decision even moredifficult and can also become more trau-matic for you and your pet.
However, there is an option that canmake our pet’s final moments less stress-ful, painful, or fearful. Home euthanasiais performed by a state licensed vet-erinarian to provide a humane, peace-ful, and compassionate option.
This most difficult time will allowthem to remain in a peaceful settingwhere they are surrounded by all thatthey know and love. Additionally, cre-mation service is available and includesthe respectful transportation of your pet.It can also include the return of yourpet’s ashes in an urn of your choice.
Contemplating the end of life for adear pet is not something we ever wantto think about or can even avoid. As theirloving companion, we owe it to them to
make the end of their journey as timely,peaceful, and dignified as possible.

Good news for the estimatedone in five allergy suffererswho have pets: There areways you and your pet can
live together. The experts at the Amer-ican College of Allergy, Asthma, andImmunology suggest you:
• Keep your pet out of the bedroom.You spend as much as a third of yourtime there. Letting a dog or cat in in-creases your exposure to dander andthe likelihood of allergic reaction.
• Bathe your pet frequently. It’s notthe hair this is shed by the dog or cat thatcauses you to suffer, it’s the loose flakesof skin he deposits around the house.Bathe your pet at least once a week anddry him as best you can to limit the ani-mal’s shaking and stirring up dander.
• Replace air filters regularly. With apet in the house, you should replace thefilter in your forced-air heating and cool-ing system at least once a month. A high-quality pleated filter offers more sur-face area to capture more dander than aflat-surface filter.
• Clean your house frequently. Doc-tors recommend frequent vacuumingof both hard-surface and carpeted floors,upholstered furniture, and draperies.
• Consider a central vacuum system.It offers the most cleaning power avail-able to remove 100 percent of captureddander from the living area without stir-ring up dust. Its hose-handle power con-trols let you increase or decrease poweras needed during cleaning. Quiet oper-ation also prevents startling the dog orcat, reducing the amount of dander thepet will shed.
Reducing exposure through environ-mental controls, however, may not besufficient for some allergic patients. Youmay need an over-the-counter or pre-scription medication to live comfortablywith your pet. Ask your physician aboutthe appropriate treatment for you.Allergies are nothing to sneeze at, espe-cially when you’re allergic to your bestfriend. Fortunately, there are ways tohandle the problem. ST

We often talk about the ben-efits pets have for their adultowners, but children shouldnot be left out. Children can
gain many benefits from having a pet inthe home during their developing years.
Caring for a pet can teach children aboutresponsibility. They learn the importance ofcaring for the pet and completing daily tasksthat the pet requires, such as feeding, walk-ing, and grooming. Children also learn moreabout animals’ behavior and how to han-dle a pet safely.
Pets can help children with psycholog-ical development. Working with animalshelps teach children empathy and com-passion. Children that work with animalsalso tend to develop stronger social skills.Pets have even been used as an aid duringrehabilitation of children who have previ-ously shown violent tendencies.
Like adults, children also gain healthbenefits from having a pet in the home. Petsencourage higher levels of activity and exer-cise, improving children’s physical fitness.Children with pets also tend to have a morestable immune system, and are less proneto asthma and allergies.
If you are interested in finding a pet thatfits in with the children of your home, Hal-ifax Humane Society is here to help. TheMeet Your Match program and the experts
on staff can aid adopters in finding the per-fect best friend for the entire family.

Are you considering adding a catto a home that already has oneor more cats? This can be adifficult experience with certain
cats, but by following a few tips, the tran-sition can be relatively smooth.
Start by choosing a specific room or areathat will be the new cat’s home for at leastthe first week or two. Having its own spacewill help the new cat feel safer while itadjusts to its new home. Provide the cat witha litter box of its own, toys, food, water,and other supplies. Cats are used to rou-tines, so a major change like this mayaffect the behavior of both the new cat and
any other cats in the house. This is nor-mal, and it often takes several days for thecats to acclimate.
Try to avoid face-to-face interactionsbetween the new cat and other cats duringthe first few days while they begin toadjust. Then, start introducing smells byfeeding each cat a treat on opposite sidesof the door, or by using the same brush onboth cats (be sure neither cat has fleas ora skin condition before trying this).
The next step is to have the cats meetface-to-face. Place your new cat in its crateor carrier, and allow the other cats to visitthe new cat in its room. The cats may hissor posture, but if there are signs either cat
will be aggressive to the other, you willneed to repeat this step a few more times.Once it appears that the cats are simplycurious of one another, you can attempt toremove the barrier between them.
Keep an eye on all of the cats duringthe first couple of weeks after this point,and keep the new cat in its safe roomwhile you are not home. Make sure not torush the cats through any of the steps, it ismore important for their long-term har-mony to adjust at their own pace.
HHS Wish ListHere are items that are greatly needed at
HHS. Any donation is appreciated. • Canned cat & kitten food (no fish prod
ucts please)
• Canned dog & puppy food• Regular pet shampoo & conditioner• Non-covered cat beds• Kong toys for dogs• Nail clippers• Kitty litter (regular)• Laundry detergent• Towels• Handheld two-way radios • Commercial washers & dryers ST

Jabba lay listlessly on the couch, hishead resting on his shaved paw. Histhick black fur was conspicuouslyabsent from both front paws, expos-
ing rings of sickly gray skin. Usually alertand watchful, his eyes today were dull andhalf-closed. The days following chemother-apy were often like this. Jabba would spendthe day on his favorite couch, uninterestedin food or walks or Frisbees. In spite ofcoaxing him with a homemade meal, Jabbajust couldn't be bothered with life.
Every three weeks, Jabba went throughanother round of chemo, and his larger-than-life alpha personality went on hiatus.For close to a week, he would shirk hisguard dog duties and abandon his GermanShepherd attitude. His big, black body wouldgive up on life until he could gather enoughstrength to continue the fight.
This was one of those weeks that he layon the couch recovering from chemo. Hisnormally attentive eyes barely registered mypresence. As I made my lunch of bolognaand cheese, I cooked him chicken, rice, andgreen beans—anything to get him to eat.That day, not even his favorite meal couldentice him. Looking at him, I knew thatthe end probably was near.
Ten years of memories filled my mind.I pictured the most adorable black puppyhappily chewing up every shoe in the house,one ear flopping down and one ear stickingstraight up. I remembered the adolescentJabba, who once rearranged the living roomfurniture, dragging it into the dining roombecause I left him home alone. I had visionsof a young black Shepherd chasing a Fris-bee at the speed of light, and visions of astrong adult Shepherd who had guarded merelentlessly all those years.
The sound of the doorbell brought meback to reality. Leaving my sandwich un-touched on the counter, I walked into the liv-ing room to answer the door, Jabba's eyes fol-lowing my movement with little interest. Aminute later, I returned to the kitchen, passingJabba on the way. I reached for my sandwichonly to find it missing. After looking all overthe kitchen, I retraced my steps, looking formy missing sandwich. Just as I reached theliving room, I looked up to see Jabba gulpingdown the last bite. He slowly climbed back upto his favorite spot, plopped down and gaveme a satisfied sigh. For just a second, hisbeautiful brown eyes twinkled with his usuallove of life, and I knew he would be able tofight just a little longer. ST

There is a point in our life, whetherwe are searching for it or it justhappens, that defines us. It be-comes our identity and that is what
keeps us different from one another. We,in essence, possess our own identities thatare unique in nature. Some have alreadyfaced that time, others (especially youngerfolks) have it ahead of them. Most of thetime that change makes us better, but occa-sionally it affects us in negative ways.
Personally, I can pin-point the definingmoment in my life to the hour and datethat started me down this path I am nowtraveling; for others it may happen over alonger period of time.
With that in mind, I would like to sharea little story with you:
The look on his face would give it away.When you saw him, you knew he was inpain. It seems life had not been fair to thisperson and that was in his expressions.
Most of us fight with the occasional de-pression and he was no different. A deathin the family or some traumatic experienceusually sends us toward being depressed.Under normal circumstances, as I saidbefore, most of us eventually get back tonormal. In this fellow’s case a combina-tion of traumatic experiences would becomehis defining point.
When you tie several life-changing expe-riences together over a very short period
of time the result is unsettling at the best.Most of us would be overwhelmed with justone of the crises this person faced and, inthe end, it would define him for the remain-der of his life. It is hard not to be bitter whenso much comes at you. So bitterness becamehis identity and depression became how he
was defined by others. No one could reallyblame him directly for what had happened,nor could they not wonder if it happenedto them would they have ended up in thesame state of mind. Some called him eccen-tric, others just said he was odd.
Sadly, he never got better. Yes, he didseek some help, but in the end you have towant to get better, and I don’t think he did.It is hard to understand how close most ofus come to going down that same road.Maybe we should refer to the old idiomabout walking a mile in someone’s shoes.Like Joe South’s song says: “Walk a milein my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes. Hey,before you abuse, criticize, and accuse walka mile in my shoes.” ST

Disability is something most peo-ple don’t like to think about. Ifyou’re not able to work becauseyou have a disabling condition
that is expected to last at least one year orresult in death, then it’s a subject you maynot be able to avoid.
You should apply for disability benefitsas soon as you become disabled. It maytake you months to obtain all your med-ical records and for us to process an appli-cation for disability benefits.
The types of information needed includes:• Medical records or documentation you
have; we can make copies of your re-cords and return your originals;
• The names, addresses, and phone num-bers for any doctors, hospitals, medicalfacilities, treatment centers, or providersthat may have information related toyour disabling condition;
• The names, addresses, and phone num-bers for recent employers and the datesworked for each employer; and
• Your federal tax return for the past year.If you don’t have all of the information
handy, that’s no reason to delay. You shouldstill apply for benefits right away. SocialSecurity can assist you in getting the nec-essary documents, including obtaining yourmedical records. Just keep in mind that if
you do have the information we need, itwill probably speed up the time it takes tomake a decision.
The fastest and most convenient wayto apply for disability is online at www.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability Youcan save your application as you go, soyou can take a break at any time.
If you prefer, you may call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213, to make anappointment to apply at your local SocialSecurity office or to set up an appointmentfor someone to take your application overthe phone.
If you are approved for disability ben-efits, that doesn’t mean you’ll never be ableto work again. In fact, Social Security hasspecial rules called “work incentives” thatallow you to test your ability to work.
Learn more about disability benefits andtake advantage of the helpful DisabilityStarter Kit at www.socialsecurity.gov/dis-ability/disability_starter_kits.htm ST

Q: I have several older pieces of fur-niture. They are mostly darker woods.Can you recommend a good polish? Ijust moved to a dry region and am afraidthe pieces might begin cracking.
—Art, Palm Desert, CAA: My grandmother made her own
furniture polish, and I recommend ithighly—if you can tolerate the turpen-tine smell. For her polish, take 1 cup ofboiled linseed oil (which is how youbuy it at the hardware store), add onecup of gum turpentine and one halfcup of white vinegar. Shake well. Useliberally on your furniture, wipe clean,repeat. After several weeks of using thispolish, you will discover a nice, protec-tive coat.
***Q: I have a set of Anheuser Busch
Budweiser Girls, which are limited to1,500 sets. I have No. 144. Each pieceis hand-colored and finished. Can yougive me a value for this set?
—Jean, Decatur, ILA: I assume these are the Budweiser
Girls steins. If so, I found three of the
steins on eBay for about $15 each. Thecomplete set would be worth more.Incidentally, the first Budweiser Girlwas introduced in 1883. The practiceof using beautiful women to promote itsbeer has continued to this day.
***Q: I have a ceramic Staffordshire dog
figurine. The label on the bottom claimsit is circa 1880. I would like an esti-mate of how much it is worth—a for-mal appraisal is not required.
—Bill, Albuquerque, NMA: I am not an appraiser and not
qualified to provide you with this ser-vice. Since you live in Albuquerque, Isuggest you hire the services of a goodcertified appraiser. There are generallytwo types of appraisals, verbal andwritten. The verbal appraisal is lessexpensive. ST

You probably know that the phraserack your brain means to think hard,but did you ever wonder where the termoriginated? The rack being referred tois the medieval torture device on whichvictims were stretched, sometimes untillimbs were dislocated. The idea is thatwhen you're thinking very hard, you'reundergoing a sort of mental torture.
A fully mature oak tree gives off 7tons of water a day through its leaves.
The idea for the Tooth Fairy seemsto have originated in Germany, but thetradition has changed over the years.
Instead of putting the tooth under apillow, Germans used to put the toothin a rat hole in the hope that the newtooth would grow in to be as strong asthe teeth of the rat. ST
