Veterans in very rural areas have had little op-portunity to arrange for burial in a national or state veterans cemetery. The Department of Veterans Af-fairs operates 131 national cemeteries, but they’re in areas of high population. Current requirements say that there must be 80,000 veterans living within 75 miles for a cemetery to come under the auspices of the National Cemetery System.

Now, because of the Rural Initiative, eight areas will have local cemeteries established as National Veterans Burial Grounds. The new requirements are that there are no more than 25,000 veterans within 75 miles and that they have no reasonable access to a national or state veterans cemetery.

Rural Cemeteries

The eight new locations are Fargo, N.D.; Rhine-lander, Wis.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Laurel, Mont.; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Cedar City, Utah; Calais, Maine; and Elko, Nev. This opens up burial options for 136,000 veterans and their eligible dependents.

The new designations means that a portion, three to five acres, of existing local cemeteries will come under the care of the National Cemetery System and be brought up to the national shrine standards of the larger cemeteries. Besides making it easier on families to have a local cemetery, there are ad-ditional benefits to burial in a National Cemetery, no matter its size: The headstone, marker and burial plot are free.

Eligibility requirements for burial in a National Veterans Cemetery are lengthy and complicated, but at the top of the list are: Discharge under conditions other than dishonorable, or a service member who dies while on active duty. The spe-cifics can be found at the VA’s National Cemetery site [www.cem.va.gov]. To ascertain eligibility for burial in a National Cemetery, call the scheduling office at 1-800-535-1117.

If you’d like to explore having a National Vet-erans Burial Ground at a cemetery in your area, start by contacting your U.S representative and VA Secretary Eric Shinseki’s office.

“How about blueberry muffins and a cup of coffee tomorrow morning here at my house? This might be a good opportunity to get together for

Simple SummerEntertaining

a ‘mom chat’ before summer winds down,” emailed my friend Carol.

How could I refuse such a perfect excuse to put my “to-do” list aside and just hang out in her charming home? Plus, I can always use an extra dose of “mom” time.

Our conversation on that recent rainy morning was brightened by votive candlelight and a lively conversation about our latest crowd-pleasing ideas for entertaining at picnics, birthday parties and backyard barbecues.

Here are some of our style-on-a-shoestring favorites:

Table DecorBring blooming flowerpots inside

from your yard or deck for an instant, fresh centerpiece. Or, let your kids pick little bunches of herbs from your garden, such as parsley, oregano, dill and thyme. Tuck them in mini vases or small jars lined up in the middle of the table. Name them as the kids arrange them.

Corn on the GrillHave more than a kernel of fun when you grill

ears of freshly picked corn for a slightly smoky taste. We like to soak ours in a tub of water for a half-hour, husk and all, before we put them on the barbecue.

Protect your hands with potholders when you peel away the charred husks before serving the corn.

Simple DessertSeveral hours before a gathering, scoop your

favorite flavors of ice cream into ball shapes and set in 8-inch-by-8-inch aluminum cake pans. Set them in your freezer until serving time. Use tongs to place them in a big serving bowl on a table set with a sundae bar of sauces and toppings such as mini chocolate chips, candy sprinkles, chopped

peanuts and shredded coconut.

Make a Travel Book a Guest BookIt can be hard to say goodbye to guests you see

only occasionally. Preserve the memory of their stay when you ask them to sign your guestbook. Make it easy to trigger thoughts by using a coffee-table style photo travel book of your area as the guestbook. They can find a landmark or place of interest they toured and jot down a line or two on the page by a photo. It might read, “We’ll never forget our 30-mile bike ride and the fish tacos we ate at sunset by Lake Calhoun.”

Extra Idea: If you are hosting a party for a neighborhood family moving away, encourage guests to sign a photo travel book of your town as a personalized “send-off.”

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For many years, I had heartburn, and I lived with it by taking things like Tums. Finally, I consulted a doctor, who referred me to a gastroenterologist because he was alarmed at the length of time I’d had it. The gastroenterologist gave me a scope exam of my esophagus and stomach. It turns out I have GERD and something called Barrett’s esophagus, which turns into cancer. Naturally, I am nervous. I’ve never heard of heartburn-caused cancer. How often does that happen? -- A.S.

ANSWER: Not often, but enough that plans have to be made to keep checking for such a change.

Heartburn is officially called GERD, gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Stomach acid squirts upward (refluxes) into the swallowing tube, the esophagus. The esophagus isn’t built to deal with stomach acid the way the stomach is. The result is heartburn.

Medicines for GERD are many. The ones most often chosen are proton-pump inhibitors, medicines that all but turn off acid production. Their names are Prevacid (lansoprazole), Dexi-lant (dexlansoprazole), Prilosec (omeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole), Protonix (pantoprazole) and Aciphex (rabeprazole).

Up to 12 percent of GERD patients, even with treatment, develop Barrett’s esophagus. The lining cells of the lower part of the esophagus change into ones that are more resistant to stomach acid. That change can evolve into another transforma-tion that is precancerous. That’s called dysplasia. Dysplasia can then become cancer. The absolute risk for this is small, but it is real, and has to be carefully looked for.

If the Barrett’s cells show signs of low-grade dysplasia, then a follow-up scope exam of the

esophagus is done in six to 12 months and repeated annually. If high-grade changes are found, the scope exam is repeated every six months. If no dysplasia changes are seen, follow-up exams are scheduled for every three years.

The booklet on hiatal hernia and GERD gives a comprehensive treatment on this subject. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 501W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. En-close 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: I am a senior citizen. For

the past five years I have received Botox injections and wonder where the Botox goes after it leaves the injection site after about six or seven months. Does it stay in the body forever? Does it go to an organ?

Suddenly, I am worried about this. -- S.B.ANSWER: The body, as it does with all injected

medicines, breaks down Botox, and the breakdown prod-ucts are eliminated. It’s the way nature takes care of all for-eign materials that find their way into our bodies.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: Last spring, as I was taking my cat "Ferris" out of my mom's car at the vet's office, he jumped out of my arms and ran into the woods. We searched the woods and surrounding neighborhoods for hours, with no luck. About a week later, we got a call from a veterinarian almost 10 miles away from where Ferris had escaped! He was found by one of the assistants, and they had quickly identified Ferris by scanning his implanted microchip.

Please tell your readers how important it is to microchip their pets. It reunited us with Ferris quickly, once he was found. -- Sarah in Smyrna, Ga.

DEAR SARAH: I'm glad to hear Ferris got home safely! Microchipping can indeed help reunite a lost pet with its owners. The biggest benefit of microchips is that if a pet loses its collar and ID tag, the microchip -- a rice grain-sized device typically implanted just under the skin between the shoulder blades -- carries that ID information as well as contact informa-tion.

Once a microchip is implanted, owners should register the chip's in-formation at an online registry such as the nonprofit Found Animals http://microchipregistry.foundanimals.org/ or a registry recommended by your veterinarian. If your pet gets lost and is found and scanned, the information will be relayed to these registries. From there, the owner can check the registries, or opt to be alerted if their pet's chip is scanned.

Microchipping is affordable, as well. Generally, even the priciest chip-ping costs well under $100, and it's often offered as part of low-cost vac-cination clinics at a reduced price.

Has your cable cost gone through the roof? Your options include putting together a combination of subscription choices, all of which add up to less than your current cable bill.

Devices: You’ll need a device to capture the shows if you no longer have cable bringing it to your television. You’ll need high-speed Internet or Wi-Fi for the streaming, or the experience won’t be satisfactory.

--Roku (four different models, from $49.99) requires only a television and a Wi-Fi connection to watch any of 500 entertainment channels, as well as free movies.

--Xbox, PlayStation and Wii can all act as streaming devices.

--Boxee [www.boxee.tv] is the newest kid on the block, and works similar to Roku. Boxee Live TV is an additional HD antenna gadget ($49.00) that plugs into the Boxee and brings local channels to your television for no additional fee. The Boxee

itself starts at $180.00.--HD antennas come in all prices and varieties,

and some are for indoors. Check Antennas Direct online [www.antennasdirect.com] for a huge va-riety of antennas for all uses.

Sources: Netflix and Hulu Plus are the biggest names in streaming.

--Netflix has multiple levels of membership available, including DVD rental, streaming -- or a combination of both. As with other services, Netf-lix streams through many of the popular devices.

--Hulu Plus has unlimited instant streaming for $7.99 a month, with a free week to try it out. Per the Hulu Plus website, you can watch your current shows on your iPad, iPhone, PlayStation3, Roku and television, with more devices coming. Read the FAQ carefully. Not all shows are available on all devices, due to licensing. Be sure you know what you’re getting.

--Play On [www.playon.tv/] has a wide variety of television shows, free movies and sports. View via your game console or other device, even a Kindle Fire or an iPad. The list of available chan-nels is long and includes the Travel Channel, Spike, Food Network, HGTV and more. Subscriptions are $4.99 a month, or grab temporary low pricing of $29.99 per year.

For a complete list of streamed television shows, check Clicker, the Internet Television Guide [www.clicker.com].

Downside: Instantly finding streamed versions of your favorite shows might be difficult. You might need to wait until they appear a day or a week later.

To win the Sprint Cup championship, it's hardly necessary to lead the point standings at the end of the regular season. In fact, Jimmie Johnson won five straight titles (2006-10) without once leading the standings at the beginning of The Chase for the Sprint Cup.

In other words, the driver at the top of the board now, Dale Earnhardt Jr., is far from home free. Twelve drivers will be cordoned off, their points almost equalized, for the final 10 races of the season.

Until Jeff Gordon won Sunday's Pennsylvania 400, he seemed a long shot. Now he and Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne are in position, albeit tenuous, to make the Chase and compete for the championship.

Should Carl Edwards win a race, everything could change. The same is true should Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch or Ryan Newman win a second race.

At the moment, five regular-sea-son events remain. What's important now is making the Chase. The top 10 get in and are seeded on the basis of vic-tories. Two more are added on the basis of victories and ranking in the top 20.

"In my opinion,

this only puts more pressure on us over these next several weeks, but we're ready for the challenge," Gordon said. "This is a great moment for our team because I think we're really fired up for the next race, and the coming weeks, to legiti-mately have a come-from-behind season and get ourselves in there, and live up to the pressure of our boss."

Gordon was referring to Rick Hen-drick, who said before the season that he expected all four of his drivers to make the Chase. If Kahne and Gordon make it, his wish will come true. Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson are virtual shoo-ins.

For the second time in his career, Gordon won a rain-shortened race at Pocono Raceway. He was running fifth when Johnson and Matt Kenseth, racing for the lead, touched off a crash that Gordon managed to get through. A violent rainstorm followed, and because more than half of the race's scheduled 160-lap distance had been completed, he won.

"I don't believe that's luck, good or bad," Gordon said. "I don't think it was bad luck on Jimmie (Johnson's) part. The car got loose. I don't think it was good luck on our part. We were in the right place at the right time. Some people might call that luck. I call that, you know, a hard day's work of getting into that position for something to go your way and go right."

The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported on the relationship between vitamin D supplements and bone fractures. Researchers at Oregon State University analyzed 11 different studies done with and without calcium, which often is given at the same time as vitamin D. All participants were age 65 or older.

The study concluded that there is a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and early death

Vitamin Supplements and Bone Fractures

in older adults. Specifically, researchers looked at vitamin D levels in “frail seniors,” a group defined by having three of the following five characteris-tics: exhaustion, slow walking, muscle weakness, low levels of physical activity and unintentional weight loss. “Pre-frail” seniors have two of the above five. The frailest seniors had the lowest amount of vitamin D in their blood.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found “strong evidence” that seniors need both vitamin D and regular exercise to prevent fractures from falls.

So how do we get vitamin D? Ideally we get it from our diet (though there’s not much in our food) and sunshine. But many of us live in areas where it’s too cold to continue walking outside when winter comes. That’s where vitamin D supple-

ments come in.Ask your doctor if you need a test to determine

your vitamin D levels. Ask, too, whether you are in a high-risk group and perhaps need to have your balance, gait and vision assessed. Getting more vitamin D could be as simple as adding certain types of fish to your diet and taking calcium and vitamin D supplements. Don’t try this on your own because your personal dose will vary. Ask your doctor first.

and each instance of dialog was prefixed with a D. At one point during the sound mixing, the sound designer needed to use Reel 2, Dialog 2, and so asked for "R2D2." Lucas liked the sound of it so much that he used it for the name of a robot character in his later work.
