Family Fundamentals: Help student heading to college set a budget by Martha Filipic My son is starting college this year. I want to sit him down to help him learn how to set a budget, but he is resisting. How much should I press him? No matter what your son is majoring in or how much he ends up earning during his career, learning how to set and live on a budget is one of those critical life lessons that will impact him for years — really, decades — to come. If he doesn’t learn how to manage his money now, he very well may regret it later when he has to deal with the consequences. If you’re going to insist on anything, insist he at least sit down with you to talk about it. It’s not unusual for a young person to stonewall when a parent wants to offer guidance. He is probably feeling like he is on the brink of independence and doesn’t want to acknowledge that he still needs a par-
ent’s helping hand every once in a while. But this is important, and worth putting up with some teenage sullenness. There are plenty of resources that can help, if you need them. Here are a few to check out: • The National Endowment for Financial Education is a nonprofit organization designed to help young people and adults learn about financial decision-making. It offers whole curriculums for high schools and colleges to offer personal finance programs. Its resources are free, and you can download them yourself without taking a whole course. One resource you may find helpful is “40 Money Management Tips Every College Student Should Know,” available at www.smartaboutmoney.org/Portals/0/Re sourceCenter/40MoneyManagementTips.pdf . You can share this 32page guide with your son to review on his own, if

Collecting
he’d prefer, before you sit down with him to go over some basics. It includes a spending plan worksheet to help your son list sources of income and anticipated expenses — a great starting point for budget planning. • Bankrate.com, an industry leader in offering personal finance information on the Internet, offers an online student budget calculator at www.bankrate.com/calculators/smart-spending/college-studentbudget-calculator.aspx . It’s designed especially for full-time college students, with the ability to plan for income and expenses monthly, per semester, or per academic year. • The U.S. Department of Education’s office of Federal Student Aid offers a step-by-step guide for college students to learn how to keep track of income and expenses, save toward specific goals, and adjust a budget when circumstances change. It’s online at studentaid.ed.gov/sa/pr epare-for-college/budgeting/creating-your -
budget . • If he doesn’t already do so regularly, put a special emphasis on both building up savings and balancing a checkbook. Now is the time to start a habit of regular and consistent saving, even small amounts. And bounced check fees can add up very quickly and damage your son’s credit rating. For a simple guide to balancing a checkbook, see tips from the College Board at www.collegeboard.com/ prod_downloads/highered/res/cc_tips/Balancing05.pdf . Any one of these resources will be helpful for you to start this conversation with your son. Don’t shy away from this issue. It may take awhile, but eventually your son will be grateful. Family Fundamentals is a monthly column on family issues. It is a service of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and its outreach and research arms, Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.

by Larry Cox Davy Crockett Q: During the 1950s, Walt Disney sponsored the TV show “Davy Crockett” starring Fess Park. Davy Crockett collector cards also were published in a series of 84. Do these have a value? — Charles, Livingston, Texas A: Your set is valued in the $50-$75 range, depending on condition. More than 500 Davy Crockett products were licensed by Disney, including milk glasses ($8$25), frontier gun set ($35-$150), lunchbox ($100-$400), cookie jar ($150-$425) and litho button ($15-$55). All prices are from “Hake’s Price Guide to Character Toys” by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles. That coonskin cap generally sells for about $35. Q: I have inherited a partial set of Depression glass in the Daisy pattern. It is crystal in color. Since I’m missing at least half of the set, I would like to contact others who collect so I can purchase what I don’t already have. Can you help me? I’m also curious about how old this pattern is. -Doris, Orlando, FL A: The Daisy pattern was introduced by the Indiana Glass Company in Dunkirk, IN, during the late 1930s. It was produced until about 1985. It was made in amber (1940s), crystal (1933-’40), dark green (1960s-’80s), fired-on red (late 1930s) and milk glass (1960s-’80s). There are several ex-
cellent references that might be helpful. I especially like “Warman’s Depression Glass: A Value and Identification Guide” by Ellen T. Schroy and published by Krause Books. This guide spotlights more than 170 patterns and lists current market values for 10,000 items. The latest edition has been expanded with values that I think accurately reflect the present marketplace. You also might contact the National Depression Glass Association, an organization that was founded in 1974 is and dedicated to the preservation of American-made glassware. A newsletter, “News & Views,” is published for members. Contact is P.O. Box 8264, Wichita, KS 67208; www.ndga.net; and Dean Lowry, membership chairman,
[email protected]. Q: I inherited a pedestal cake plate in Heirloom fine china by Georges Briard. It is from the 1940s, and I would like to know its value. — Ruth, Sun City, AR A: I found your cake plate on eBay for $40, which I think is fairly close to its value. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send email to
[email protected]. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

AC or windows down: secrets to better summer fuel economy (BPT) — Summer is peak travel season for most Americans. Those hoping to spend less on fuel and more on fun can find ways to stretch their travel budgets with better vehicle care and use. One hotly (pun intended) debated topic during summer driving season is whether it is more fuel efficient to use the air conditioner (AC) or roll down the windows and catch the breeze to stay cool.
To settle the AC versus windows question, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee compared the performance of a Ford Explorer and a Toyota Corolla. It’s probably no surprise that fuel consumption was the lowest when AC was off and the windows were up. But that’s not a great option on a 95-degree day. When driving at speeds slower than 75 mph, re-
searchers found it was more efficient to roll down the windows. At speeds faster than 75 mph, it was more efficient to run the AC in the Corolla, but not the Explorer, likely because the larger cabin was harder to cool. Edmunds.com experts found similar results with a Toyota Tundra, which got almost 10 percent better gas mileage at 65 mph with the windows
down and AC off. In Consumer Reports tests with a Honda Accord, using air conditioning while driving at 65 mph reduced gas mileage by more than 3 mpg, while the effect of opening the windows at 65 mph was not measurable. So deciding whether to choose AC or open windows depends on driving speed, wind speed, terrain, vehicle size and aerodynamics. Thankful-
ly, other ways to improve fuel efficiency are less complicated. Good vehicle maintenance is the best way to improve fuel economy, says Andrew Hamilton, technical services and quality manager for Cenex brand lubricants. “To maintain your vehicle’s top fuel efficiency, perform regular maintenance, including oil changes and replacing the air filter and spark plugs,” says Hamilton. Use the manufacturer recommended engine oil to get the most from your engine. “Using the wrong
oil viscosity can reduce fuel efficiency by five to ten percent,” says Hamilton. Finally, don’t forget tire care. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that 1.25 billion gallons of gas are wasted every year by driving on underinflated tires. “Properly inflated tires last longer, reduce braking distance and improve fuel efficiency,” says Hamilton. The inflation guidelines can be found in the vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door. For more gas-saving tips visit Cenex.com.

Good Housekeeping: French fried onion rings
To Your Good Health
Onion rings are wonderfully versatile; pile them on your favorite grilled meat — they’ll add a whole new dimension. • 1 jumbo onion (1 pound), cut into 1/4-inch thick slices • Vegetable oil for frying • 1/4 cup milk • 1 cup all purpose flour • 1/2 teaspoon salt 1. Separate onion slices into rings. In 4 quart saucepan, heat 2-inches oil over medium heat until temperature reaches 370 F on deep fat thermometer. 2. Pour milk into large bowl. In ziptight plastic bag, mix flour and salt. Dip one-fourth of onion rings in
by Keith Roach, M.D. Persistent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Dear Dr. Roach: I had surgery late last year on my right wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome. The numbness in my fingers has not changed. Now I’m faced with the same problem in my left hand. I’m going to forget surgery, seeing as it wasn’t successful in my right hand. I decided to go to an acupuncturist for laser treatments. I also had a cortisone shot. Neither of these has helped. Do you know of a solution for my problem? -- P.M. Answer: Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression on the median nerve, as it runs down the arm through a “tunnel” of bone and connective tissue deep in the wrist. It may cause pain, numbness and weakness of the wrist and hand. The thumb and middle three fingers are most often affected. In advanced cases, the hand muscles may become atrophied. The sooner the pressure on the nerve is relieved, the more likely there will not be permanent nerve damage. It sounds to me like the first surgery was not done soon enough to prevent damage. If that’s the case, then surgery on your left hand, done sooner after the onset of symptoms, might prevent the long-term numbness present in your right hand. However, it’s possible that the diagnosis was wrong or that the surgery might not have been effective, even if done promptly. At least one study of needle acupuncture showed that it is as effective as a cortisone injection. This study excluded people who already had fixed numbness in the fingers, who are less likely to be helped by any treatment. I have not found any evidence that laser treatment is effective. My advice is to first be sure of the diagnosis. An EMG test is a study of nerve function, which can confirm the diagno-
milk. With tongs, transfer to flour mixture, shake to coat. 3. Drop coated onion rings into hot oil; fry until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat dipping, coating, and frying with remaining onion rings. Serve immediately.

sis and may be able to predict how much damage there is and provide guidance on treatment. If damage is not too severe, other treatments such as splinting, medication, yoga or ultrasound may be helpful. If advanced, surgery done quickly still may be your best bet. Dear Dr. Roach: I just found out that I have lipedema, a rare disease. What can I do about it? My mom and dad don’t have it, nor other family. Should I try to find relatives who have it? I am told that it is an inherited disease. None of these “family” ever had it! -L.Q. Answer: Lipedema is indeed a rare disease, although it may be underdiagnosed. It almost always is found in women, and is suspected when there is marked fat deposition symmetrically between the waist and ankles. The areas affected often are tender or painful to the touch. It is not the same as lymphedema, fluid increase due to poorly functioning or damaged lymph vessels, although people with lipedema can develop lymphedema. Treatment includes compression garments or manual lymph drainage, often combined with surgical treatments such as liposuction. Only about 15 percent of people with lipedema have a family history. It’s not surprising that you can’t find relatives with it. More information is available at several support groups, and at www.curelipedema.org/l ipedema/. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to

August 14, 2015 Hello Again, What’s new in the news? You will never guess the importance of our two drumstick, one gizzard, egg-producing friends. Known as chickens, or more specifically, hens. It seems that no arm of the government or no one less than the Dolgeville Village Attorney Norman Mastromoro along with the Mayor and his full board, aided by the village planning board and the Fulton and Herkimer County Planning boards, are needed to solve the delicate, possible over powering question — can residents of the village of Dolgeville own — have 8 chickens — (actually hens — no roosters) on the property they pay taxes for? I guess there is no law concerning how many chickens these village folk can have in their freezers. They must have workable beaks with two drumsticks and be able to speak cluck, cluck, and agree to stay off village, county and state roads. Our compliments to the Times daily newspaper for keeping the public aware of this serious pending legislation. Tuesday’s front page headline — Dolgeville Hearing Reconvened on Chicken Law. I wonder have the members of the village board considered asking President Obama to voice his opinion on this local problem as he has several times before on other local not federal problems. Not pretending to offer legal advice to the Mayor, why not follow Mr. Obama’s example when he said he would bypass Congress and go around by using executive privilege? If Washington says it’s okay, why not Dolgeville? If and when Dolgeville gets their 8 hens per house and if the St. Johnsville black and yellow chicken farmer with the two roosters has a problem with those walking egg factories getting out of their chicken coops, I have a solution, sit in a corner and make a sound like a turnip and all the chickens, hens and roosters will come to you. We received an unsigned letter starting with “You must have been an English teacher’s worse nightmare and ending with “Have a good day.” The unsigned letter caused cold chills along with memories I have tried not to remember. I would enjoy meeting the writer as I feel certain he or she has mastered the Roget’s Thesaurus. Roget’s Thesaurus is a valuable source of seldom used words. Words often used by writers who have a secret desire to impress readers with their superior vocabulary, which in actuality they do

not possess. The unsigned letter writer used vitriolic, diatribe and sophistry — I imagine we were supposed to be impressed. Maybe I should look in a thesaurus to find a better common place word than impressed. Maybe tomorrow. (I ain’t got no time today.) Do you think the word blarney might fit? I wonder if the letter writer has ever thought about contacting Mrs. Clinton. You certainly would be qualified to write speeches for her using words no one understands. It’s possible that your writing might lead some of us to think she is actually more qualified than she is, but ain’t. In view of your letter — does that mean I should not use — ain’t got none — druthers, yup and nope, and use words that no one without a dictionary can understand? Thinking back 65 years ago, your estimate of my English teacher must have been korect. She probably passed me on to some other poor teacher just to get me out of her class. Thanks for wishing “have a happy day.” I would suggest to you, do not have a cup of coffee. The combination of coffee and this Hello Again will surely cause heartburn. I started with a red pencil and it got worse. But thanks anyway — please keep on reading, with experience you will learn to use common, understood words. Now that we have chatted about these serious problems let’s sit on the front porch swing and share in a gabfest. Question: Why did George Washington not continue to run for several terms? Could it be he could not blame all of his mistakes on President Bush? The Lord’s prayer contains 56 words; Lincoln’s Gettysburg address 260; the Ten Commandments, 200, the Declaration of Independence, 3,000 and the Dolgeville Hen Law three years of Board meetings and a few thousand words. I wonder how many Mayors and board members will it wear out. Is the following newsworthy or what would you call it? According to one of the world’s most popular and highly respected daily newspapers, the Clinton Foundation saw a significant increase in donations this year from fundraisers who also have volunteered to steer at least $100,000 each to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The Friday, July 31, 2015 W.S.J. stated that one venture capitalist sent checks to both the Clinton
presidential campaign and the Clinton Foundation. It was reported he gave between $10 million and $25 million. Do you think this was out of the goodness of his heart? Some call this newsworthy. I know what I think and the word worthy does not cloud my thinking. A family quarrel had blown full bloom. “I wish”, said the angry wife, “that I had taken my mother’s advice and not married you.” “Your mother was actually against us getting married?” asked the husband. “Yes she was and said so over and over.” “Lord forgive me,” said the husband, “How I misjudged that great woman.” We love to attend auctions. There are several advertised in County Folks, the Country Editor, the Mohawk Valley Original Pennysaver, and Hard Hat News every issue. If it seems like I’m in a hurry when rambling by on the red Spyder, just think what it would be like if you were sitting on a Spyder. I’m thinken’ you would act rather fast too. Be sure to wave. A lady was complaining to one of the church ushers, “It was too hot, the lights were too dim, and the Pastor’s message was too long.” “But Grandmother,” the little girl said, “How can you expect more for a quarter?” Attend church on Sunday you will receive more than you are capable of paying for. This simple, short prayer works, “Thank you Heavenly Father.” He will listen and will know you care. Fred Lee & Family

VHS residents visit Ilion Marina
It was a perfect summer day in the Mohawk Valley as residents of Valley Health Services (VHS) in Herkimer traveled over to the Ilion Marina to enjoy an outdoor picnic near the water. Adding to the excitement of the day for the residents was seeing a pirate-style ship sail past the marina filled with friendly folks waving to everyone at the harbor. Pictured (from left) are VHS residents Dorothy Scanlon, Marilyn Nagle, Katherine Jones, Anne Kirkpatrick and Ruth Abele with her daughter, Janet; standing in back is VHS activity staff member Katherine Sorenson.

Mandy’s Diner by Al Dorantes On Tuesday, Aug. 4, Mandy’s Diner, 5616 State Rte 5, East Herkimer, NY, had its grand reopening. The former Donna’s Diner was rechristened as Mandy’s Diner in honor of owner Greg Costello’s daughter Mandy. The Herkimer County Chamber of Commerce and local elected officials were on hand to assist with the ribbon cutting. Greg Costello, took over in April 2014, explained the grand reopening was really just a name change and rebranding. The old Donna’s Diner sign was replaced with a brand new Mandy’s diner sign. Costello also explained
the core menu and favorites are still the same. New additions include: daily specials, a new steak sandwich, a lighter menu including a half sandwich plus a cup of soup for a good price, sea food platter, Friday fish fry (they actually lowered the price) available breaded, beer battered, broiled or lemon pepper, and fish and chips (3 pieces of cod plus potato wedges). Greg added they also removed some underperforming items from the menu. This ensures that customers are getting the freshest and best food. Greg Costello, a U.S. Navy veteran, retired from UPS.

Stop the spread of invasive species Take the Clean, Drain and Dry Pledge: Invasive plants and animals can impact boating, fishing, swimming and the environment. New statewide regulations require boaters to inspect and remove any visible plant or animal material from their watercraft, including canoes, kayaks and jet skis, before launch as well as before leaving a water body at the end of the day. This means all parts of the watercraft, as well as the trailer and all equipment or gear. These regulations also require dumping out canoes, kayaks and draining water from bilges, bait wells, ballast tanks and so on. YOU can stop the spread of invasive species.

Herkimer Salvation Army food pantry in need of donations HERKIMER, NY — The cupboards are bare. The Herkimer Salvation Army’s food pantry is very sparse at a time of the year when food is needed the most. Requests for emergency food increase in the summer when children no longer have access to school breakfast and lunch programs. In Herkimer County, 47 percent of the student population receive free or a reduced lunch during the school year. It’s also a time when parents are struggling to find a way to keep their children fed and have to make difficult choices between food and paying rent or utilities. “We are asking the Herkimer community to help us to re-stock our food pantry by donating food, organizing food
drives and making financial donations so that we may purchase food as needed to keep our pantry shelves full,” said Lieutenant John Wood, pastor and administrator of the Herkimer Salvation Army, along with his wife, Lieutenant Lori Wood. Needed items include: • Meat, fish and protein - Canned tuna, ham, or chicken, peanut butter, canned or dried beans • Fruits and vegetables - Canned fruits and vegetables along with fresh produce • Complete meals Boxed meals, hearty soups • Grains - Rice, pasta • Cooking basics Flour, sugar, oil • Special dietary foods Gluten-free, low-sugar, low-sodium • Personal care products - Shampoo, deodor-

are shopping, please drop off donations at the Army’s Worship and Community Center at 421 N. Prospect Street in Herkimer. Please use the back entrance. Thank you in advance for your generosity and thank you
for caring for our community,” Lt. Wood added. Financial donations can be sent to the Army at PO Box 168, Herkimer, NY 13350. For more information, please contact the Lieutenants at 315-866-1240.

Kitchen Diva: The fruits of summer by Angela Shelf Medearis This summer has produced a bountiful crop of fruits. While I often take advantage of the fruits on sale, sometimes I have questions about how to prepare and store them. The following tips can help you prepare and enjoy fresh fruits and keep them at their most flavorful. Which fruits continue to ripen after they’re picked? Apricots, bananas, cantaloupe, kiwi, mangoes, nectarines, peaches, pears, plantains and plums continue to ripen at room temperature after they’re picked. To speed their ripening, put them in a loosely closed brown paper bag. Plastic bags don’t work for ripening. Once fully ripened, fruits may be stored in the refrig-
erator to lengthen their storage time. Though the outside skin of a refrigerated banana will turn dark brown, the inside will remain light colored. Fruits that should be picked or bought ripe and ready to eat include: apples, cherries, grapefruit, grapes, oranges, pineapple, strawberries, tangerines and watermelon. Should fruits and vegetables be washed before they’re put away? The Food and Drug Administration advises that we wash our fresh fruits and vegetables when ready to eat rather than when they’re first purchased or picked. Here are some tips for washing fruits and vegetables before use: Don’t use soap, detergents or bleach solutions. Make sure your kitchen sink is clean, or place a large mixing bowl in the sink. Add the produce to the sink and cover with cold water. (Don’t overcrowd the sink.) Add 1-2 cups of plain white vinegar and soak for 10-15 minutes. If some of the fruits bob to the top just swirl them around in the water and rub gently with your fingertips for a few moments. I rinse well using cold water to remove any traces of vinegar. Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush to remove surface dirt. Try to cut away damaged or bruised areas — bacteria can thrive in these places. To prevent this, thoroughly rinse fruits that require peeling or cutting — such as cantaloupe and other melons — under running water before eating. After purchase, put produce that needs re-

frigeration away promptly. Fresh produce should be refrigerated within two hours of peeling or cutting. Leftover cut produce should be discarded if left at room temperature for more than two hours. What is the easiest way to peel and slice a Mango? Wash the mango. Cut the mango by sitting it on its bottom and cutting vertically along the flat side of the center seed by slicing off each fleshy cheek of the mango. Hold one mango half peel side down and score the fruit down to the peel (but not through it) in a tictac-toe fashion. Hold the scored portion with both hands and bend the peel backward so that the diamond cut cubes are exposed. Cut cubes off peel, then remove any remaining fruit clinging to the seed. How can I keep cut fruit from turning brown? Coat them with an acidic juice such as lemon, orange or pineapple juice. Cut fruits as close to serving time as possible. Cover and refrigerate cut fruit until ready to serve. Avoid leaving cut fruit at room temperature for more than two hours. My recipe for Sweet and Spicy Fruit Salad uses a variety of your favorite fruits in a delicious new way. Sweet and Spicy Fruit Salad • 1/3 cup stevia, agave syrup or sugar • 1 serrano chile, halved • 1 whole dried star anise • 7-8 cups mixed cut fruit, like kiwi, peaches, plums, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, mango, pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, pears or bananas • 2 teaspoons chopped tarragon • 2 teaspoons chopped basil • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper • Mascarpone or crumbled ricotta salata, for garnish (optional) 1. Place sweetener, 3/4 cup water, chile and star anise in a small pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until mixture is as thick as maple syrup and spicy tasting. Strain syrup. (Syrup can be made up to one week in advance; store in the refrigerator.) 2. Toss fruit with half of sugar syrup, the tarragon and the basil. Add more syrup to taste, depending on how sweet and spicy you want the salad. Season very lightly with salt and pepper. If desired, add dollops of mascarpone or crumbled ricotta salata on top.

Donna’s Day: Creative family fun by Donna Erickson Watermelon, family style It has been a watermelon summer! The luscious, juicy treat has made a regular appear-
vide lots of “good for you” vitamins A, B6 and C. Here are some creative ideas for serving local watermelon during this peak season: Checkerboard
ance in our soups, salads, grilled sides and sliced up on large platters for the perfect al fresco “big crowd” dessert. Summer days are going by quickly, so grab a fresh melon today and let it quench your thirst, satisfy your sweet tooth and pro-
Watermelon Salad • 10 chunks of ripe watermelon and 8 chunks of ripe honeydew melon cut into 3/4-inch cubes • 1/4 cup feta cheese • 2 fresh mint leaves chopped • 2 basil leaves chopped (optional)
• Olive oil and white balsamic vinegar or your favorite vinaigrette dressing Let kids arrange cubes in a checkerboard pattern on salad plates.
Sprinkle feta, mint and basil on top. Dress with a drizzle of olive oil and white balsamic or vinaigrette dressing. A pinch of sea salt tastes good, too. Makes 2 servings.
Alternate idea: Replace two honeydew cubes with cube shaped avocado. Watermelon Ice Cubes Cut three cups of watermelon flesh into chunks. Remove seeds and liquefy in a blender. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. For a satisfying cool down beverage on a hot afternoon, fill a tall glass with the watermelon ice cubes and orange or grapefruit juice. Garnish with a whole strawberry or a thick triangular slice of watermelon with the pointed end slid onto the rim of the glass. Watermelon Fruit Kebabs When serving grilled chicken or beef kebabs, keep the “food on a stick” theme, and let one of your school age kids
skewer chunks of watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and kiwi on short wooden skewers. Strawberries look especially appealing on either end of the stick. Enjoy the fruit dipped in small dishes of fruit-flavored yogurt. Donna Erickson’s award winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Insect-inspired boot jacks foot from the boot. 5. Repeat, reversing location of feet. Of course, human na-
States since 1852, most based on design. When boot jacks were first cast from metal new designs
ture being what it is, we had to make the design of a plain old boot jack a bit fancier. There have been over 200 boot jacks patented in the United
emerged; for instance, the head of a cow with the horns used as the Ushape to catch the heel of the boot. In like fashion, the antennae of a snail
would also work. So do the antennae of insects. One of the first examples of a cast boot jack is
in the shape of an insect. In addition to the antennae, the device included eyes and the appropriate six legs. The legs were used as the risers on the device. The type of insect depicted in antique boot jacks is not clear, at least if descriptions of such devices is any indication. I have seen these insectstyle boot jacks described as beetles, cicadas or crickets. As an entomologist, I must say that most of the cast metal boot jacks I have seen that are purported to be insects look like beetles to me. The reason is that all have a straight line down the back. That line is typical of beetles at rest. Beetles have hardened forewings called elytra that meet in such a line when the
wings are closed. Some boot jacks are even called scarab beetles. This is appropriate because scarab beetles are known for rolling balls of animal manure around. After all, the real reason for a boot jack is to be able to remove boots without having to get your hands dirty from the manure that might be on the boots. It really doesn’t make sense to fuss over the exact type of insect depicted in a boot jack. Maybe we should consider whether the use of the term “boot” in this device is appropriate. I recently saw an advertisement showing a picture of a boot jack and a human foot with a sneaker. I suppose using a scarab beetle sneaker jack is a sign of the times!

by Tom Turpin, Professor of Entomology, Purdue University Boot jacks are something that all of us who grew up on a farm have probably used at one time or another. They are devices that aid in removal of a person’s boots. The boot jack allows you to take off your boots without touching them with your hands. It could be said that boot jacks are a “hands free” device, just like the cellphones that are designed so that you can use them and still keep your hands on the steering wheel of an automobile. I don’t think that driving a vehicle while talking on a cellphone is a good idea even if the device is hands-free. However, the idea of removing your boots without touching them is a very good thing indeed. Here’s why: People associated with the livestock industry often wear boots. That means that farm boots are likely to come in contact with all kinds of stuff, including animal manure. Boots adorned with manure can be a sign of a hard-working person, but they are a bit messy to remove. That’s where the no-hands boot jack comes in. No one is quite sure when the first boot jack came into existence. The term has existed at least from the early 1800s. We don’t even know why it’s called a jack. There have been jackboots worn by the military, and jacks are lifting devices. Perhaps some person named Jack fashioned the first one. Sometimes the device is called a boot pull, and that is more descriptive than “jack.” These items for removing boots aren’t complicated devices. Some boot jacks consist of a flat piece of wood from 10 to 18 inches in length with a U-shaped opening on one end and a riser about 2 inches thick just behind and on the opposite side of the opening. If boot jacks came with directions they would probably read something like this: 1. Position boot jack on the floor riser side down. 2. Place one foot on the end nearest the floor. 3. Insert boot heel of opposite foot in Ushaped opening. 4. Pull

What would your mother say?! My GPS is trying to kill me by S.D. Shapiro In the fast paced 21st century we’ve traded common sense for the ability to quickly look up information on the internet. We’ve forgotten our manners and ci-
vility. How do we get back to our roots? Can we get back? Food for thought ... My GPS is trying to kill me. Not in a malicious, “Turn into the harbor” manner. But it is trying to
kill me nevertheless. The first time I noticed that my GPS had taken on a murderous side was when it decided to direct me to take a seasonal road. By definition seasonal roads are only maintained and passable during certain seasons. December being winter is not one of those seasons. When the GPS told me to turn left through a snow bank and onto a seasonal road, a road that was more fit for a team of sled dogs than a car, I knew the GPS was up to no good. The next time my GPS
tried to surreptitiously kill me was when, instead of avoiding construction, it led me directly into a construction zone. I was dodging orange cones and zigzagging around hard hatted construction workers. GPS are supposed to update to avoid construction but mine chose to ignore it instead. My GPS plots its murderous plans for me in an annoying voice; part British accent and part computerized villain. H.A.L. 9000 and a bond villain mixed up and condensed into a tiny electronic device. “Turn left in 200-feet.” Occasionally and without warning my foul playing GPS will become silent. The robotic British
voice stops. It is at this point in the game of death that I have to start reading the directions. This is neither safe nor efficient because one is supposed to keep their eyes on the road. The GPS silently laughs while I attempt to read, drive, and avoid accidents. Without fail the mysterious voice will return just in time to sputter, “You have arrived at your destination.” And then there are the times where my GPS navigates me to the wrong address. Instead of taking me to 16 First Street Northwest GPS delivered me to 16 First Avenue Northwest. Not terribly inconvenient other than being on the exact opposite side of town and in a not so good area.
When I reprogrammed the GPS it instantly responded in electronic English, “You have arrived at your destination.” Whether it is subtle trespasses or the voice of Satan coming out of your GPS you should always take its directions with a grain of salt. Check out your route before you set your car on autopilot. Look at a map before you venture out. Ask your friends how they would take the trip. When it comes down to GPS and directions it is sometimes safer to take a map. Stop and think, “What would my mother say?” She would say, “Buy a map, learn how to read it, and ditch your reliance on technology.”
A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu
