• Check your local newspaper or city/county government for programs that provide free or near-free water barrels. Many areas have a program, and they really do help keep your water costs down if you have flowers or veg-etable gardens.

• To keep the edges of lettuce from browning, tear it or use a plastic knife sold just for this purpose. Metal will make the edges brown.

• "If you want same-size cookies, roll and freeze your dough for 10-15 minutes. Most doughs will harden enough to slice into perfectly uniform slices, and the freezing doesn't really affect cooking time too much. (Watch your first batch, though.)" -- R.L. in Missouri

• If you are reattach-ing a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the un-waxed kind. It's much stronger, and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue.

• "Shaving cream can be used as a spot re-mover for many car-pets. Use only a small amount, and follow up with a damp cloth." -- D.L. in New Bruns-wick, Canada

• "To prevent a skin from forming on the top of a can of leftover paint, you can inflate a balloon and stick it in the can, cut a piece of wax paper to fit or store the can inverted, so that the skin will form on the bottom and stay there when you flip it." -- W.B. in Alabama

One of the goals of the Craig and Susan Thomas Foundation is to introduce students to some of the GRAND POSSIBILITIESavailable after high school.

We provide opportunities to Wyoming high school graduates and GED recipients, who DO NOT qualify for Hathaway scholarships, who have struggled in school, who want to further their education.

• It was Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, who made the following sage observation: "There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope they are organized along the lines of the Mafia." • That cork you pulled out of your wine bottle was made from the bark of a tree. The cork oak has to grow for 25 years before any cork is harvested, and then it's stripped only every 10 years thereafter. • If you can predict the future by watching the flight patterns of birds, you are engaging in ornithomancy.

By Samantha Weaver

• The coldest place on earth is a place known only as Ridge A in Antarctica. The average winter temperature there is -94 degrees F. • According to archaeological research, the bikini is nothing new; evidence has been found that the two-piece garment was worn in parts of Italy as early as 2000 B.C.

• In 1950, 70 percent of all the cars, buses and trucks in the world could be found in the United States.

• According to the Consumer Electronics Association, the average television screen in United States homes is growing by 1 inch every year. • It was Ambrose Bierce, in his "Devil's Dictionary," who defined "admiration" as "our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves."

Merle Haggard once noted that, among other examples, there are "two kinds of babies to hold."

So, too, are there two kinds of great races. Some are great because of the actual events, and some are great because of the nature of the stories. Many races described as great are really just great stories. A classic example was Dale Earnhardt's only Daytona 500 victory, in 1998. That wasn't a great race. It was

a great story because Earnhardt ended years of adversity and bad luck at a track where his skills were unrivaled.

Every race so far this season has been an interesting story.Time may largely forget that the biggest reason Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 -- what

put him in position to win -- was a fateful error by David Ragan. Had Ragan not made a crucial error on a restart, his might have been the Cinderella story. Bayne still deserves considerable credit for making the right strategic move -- stifling Carl Edwards' advance -- with the race on the line and most expecting him to mess up.

From this viewpoint, the best race so far was in Phoenix, where Jeff Gordon ended his long winless streak. That race had the kind of ebb and flow, with various drivers rising and falling and rising again, that makes for a good race.

The most interesting aspect of Las Vegas was an uncommon development. A mistake with more than 100 laps remaining ended up playing a prominent role in Edwards' victory and Tony Stewart's defeat. In an age in which drivers routinely come from two laps down to win, taking advantage of rather liberal NASCAR rules, a pit-road mistake doesn't cost a driver a race very often.

This season will produce great races, too. They've already occurred unofficially in the Budweiser Shootout and Daytona's two qualifying races.

The mood around the sport is upbeat, and it's almost as if NASCAR's luck has turned for the better. The victory of a 20-year-old unknown in the sport's biggest race is quite a contrast to a nationally televised 2010 version marred by faulty pavement.

NASCAR's Got Its Groove Back

The effect of each race so far has been to create additional interest in the next one. In short, NASCAR is building momentum again.

• On March 28, 1774, upset by acts of destruction of British property by American colonists, the British Parliament enacts the Coercive Acts. The acts included closing the port of Boston and making British officials immune to criminal prosecution in Massachusetts.

• On March 30, 1820, Anna Sewell, author of "Black Beauty," is born. "Black Beauty," the first significant children's story in the English language to focus on animal characters, established the precedent for countless other works. The story, narrated by the horse, showed Black Beauty's progression through a series of increasingly cruel owners.

• On April 2, 1863, responding to acute food shortages, hundreds of starving women riot in the Confederate capital of Richmond, Va., demanding that the government release emergency supplies. At one point, Confederate President Jefferson Davis threw his pocket change at the mob from the top of a wagon.

• On April 3, 1882, Jesse James, one of America's most notorious outlaws, is shot to

death by fellow gang member Robert Ford, who betrayed James for bounty money. James was shot in the back while his mother cooked breakfast.

• On March 31, 1931, Knute Rockne, the legendary Notre Dame football coach, is killed in a plane crash in Kansas. Studebaker decided to name its new line of low-priced vehicles Rockne after the revered coach, agreeing to pay his widow 25 cents for each car sold.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I got a dog, "Jess," for my kids after they begged me for months. It was on the condition that they take care of her, take her for walks, train her, etc. But I am always the one taking her for walks, trying to train her, making sure she gets fed. How can I make these kids be responsible for their pet? -- Tammy G., Tallahassee, Fla.

DEAR TAMMY: It sounds like you're going to have to train the kids alongside the dog. I'm sure you've reminded them that they promised to be responsible for Jess, with no results. I'm no par-enting expert, but it's probably time to be a little sterner with them.

What's your normal disciplinary style for the kids when they break the rules? Do you send them

Kids Need to Care for Their DogBy Sam Mazzotta

to their rooms? Ground them? Or take away some-thing they value for a period of time, like access to the video-game console? Implement the same discipline for failure to take care of Jess.

Do you maintain a chore chart for the kids? Add dog walks, training, feeding and other tasks to the chart, with the same reward/punishment system as for the other chores.

To help your kids get into the habit of caring for Jess regularly, join them for the first week or two as they complete their assigned task -- not lecturing, just helping. Go with them on walks with Jess, but make sure they hold the leash. Guide them when they're teaching Jess basic commands, but have them do the training. Get them into the habit of taking care of their dog.

• • •DEAR PAW'S CORNER: The Canton Paw Park

in Canton, Ga., featured in a column last year on dog parks, is preparing for its grand opening on April 16. We want to thank Boy Scout Troop No. 4900, which handmade 10 bag holder stations. The project helped the scouts earn their carpentry badges. -- Alesa

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What brings on severe constipation? My movements are six to eight days apart. The doctor says milk of magnesia is no good. I am 85. Any help? -- C.Y.

ANSWER: A diet too low in fiber, not drink-ing enough fluids and lack of physical activity are the main ingredients for constipation. Sometimes, prescribed medicines are at fault.

Fiber is the indigestible part of foods. It holds on to water as food passes through the intestinal tract, and keeps the food residue moist and soft. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are fiber sources. “Whole grains” mean the grains haven’t been refined. They still have their outer coat, the bran. You can find many whole-grain breads and cereals. One cereal is All-Bran. It’s not the only one. If you can’t get enough fiber in foods, then turn to such things as Metamucil, FiberCon or Citrucel. You’ll find them in every drugstore.

Older people often drink less fluid than they need. Their thirst sensation isn’t as strong as it once was. Make sure you’re taking in enough liquids. Water isn’t the only liquid that keeps you hydrated.

After breakfast, take a walk. Physi-cal activity stimulates the digestive tract to move food through it more quickly. That also keeps undigested food moist and soft. Take more walks throughout the day.

Doctors used to be quite reluctant to suggest laxatives to their patients. They were afraid that patients would

get into the “laxative habit” or that the colon would become dependent on laxatives. Neither of these things happens. No single laxative works for all. You have to find one that suits you. I don’t know why your doctor is down on milk of magnesia. It works for many. If it’s not working for you, try Mi-ralax. Follow its directions for use. Once you have established a regular pattern to your movements, you can back away from laxatives so you’re not headed in the direction of too many evacuations. Stay on the regimen of fiber, fluids and activity.

The booklet on constipation provides other tips on how to combat this all-but-universal problem. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 504W, 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.

that he is unable to an-swer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him
