By MARJORIE NEEDHAM Middlebury Acting Police Chief Richard Wildman reported the Middlebury Police and Fire Departments responded to a one-car accident Thursday, April 10, at approximately 12:27 p.m. The accident was on Route 63 southbound near the I-84 Exit 17 eastbound exit ramp. When they arrived, they de- termined the driver, Raymond Widziewicz, 76, of Wolcott had drifted off Route 63 for no appar- ent reason and then went down the right shoulder and struck a fire hydrant, a large rock and, finally, a utility pole. Widziewicz was operating a 2001 Subaru Forester Middlebury firefighters extri- cated Widziewicz from the vehi- cle, but he had no pulse and was not breathing. Police, fire, and Campion Ambulance paramed- ics worked on him and then transported him to Waterbury Hospital, where he later died. Connecticut Lighting and Power responded to the scene because some wires had come down. There were power outages in the area, including at Le Bobadel, for a short time. The Central Naugatuck Valley Regional Accident Investigation Team responded to lend a hand to the Middlebury Police Depart- ment with mapping, photo- graphs and evidence recovery. The Connecticut Department of Transportation assisted with traffic control and a traffic pat- tern while police investigated. There were no other vehicles involved, and the driver was alone in the car. Wildman reported Friday, April 11, that the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Ex- aminer said it appears Widziew- icz had a massive heart attack just prior to going off the road and it was the cause of his death. Middlebury Police also were expecting to receive assistance from inspectors with the Con- necticut Motor Vehicle Depart- ment Vehicle Safety Division, who were to examine Widziewicz’s vehicle and determine if any me- chanical defects may have con- tributed to the accident. Weidziewicz’s obituary said he graduated from Fairfield Univer- sity in 1959 and taught social studies at Seymour High School for 35 years until his retirement. Area residents may have known him through his memberships in the Connecticut Education Asso- ciation, Connecticut Education Association - Retired, Association of Retired Teachers of Connecti- cut and the National After School Association. He also was a board member at the Wolcott Library for 10 years, and was on the Greater Water- bury Cable Council, Waterbury Advisory Board and the Demo- cratic Town Committee. He was a member of the Derby Elks Lodge #571, Polish American Club in Naugatuck, SVAS and a social member of Catholic War Veterans St. Michael’s Post 1562. Sgt. Desmarais and Officer De- mers are the investigating offi- cers. The police department asks anyone who witnessed the acci- dent to call them at 203-577-4028.

The program was sponsored by the Connecticut Commu- nity Foundation as part of the library’s Lifelong Learners Program. Keating may understand the need for preparedness better than many. She grew up here, but lived in California for a while, returning to Middlebury in 2002. “When I lived in California, we always had a duf- fel bag ready to go in case of wildfire,” she said. Keating, a registered nurse who trained at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury, is in the office of public health preparedness and response. She said the motto in her department is “Learn to live prepared.” She noted our local emergency pre- paredness director is Middlebury Volun- teer Fire Department Chief Paul Perrotti. “I’ve know him since he was a teenager,” Keating said. “You have really committed people here in Middlebury.” Keating said she also serves as the state’s hospital preparedness coordinator and as the state Medical Reserve Corps coordinator. Medical Reserve Corps vol- unteers are trained to respond to public health needs in case of a disaster, and the Torrington Health District, which serves Middlebury, has one. Keating noted state hospital preparedness coordinators were put in place following 9/11. There is one in each state. Keating stressed the importance of letting local authorities know if you have a health condition that would be ad- versely affected by a natural disaster. For example, do you rely on medical equip- ment that requires electricity, or do you have medications that require refrigera- tion? She said some people are reluctant to share such personal information. “Public officials need to know of your special needs so they can help you,” she said. “If you know people who haven’t let officials know about their medical con- dition, please tell them to report it.” She also urged everyone to sign up for the Connecticut Alert system. You can find it at ct.gov/ctalert. You can sign up to receive location-based emergency no- tifications on multiple devices via mobile phone, email, PDA, fax, VOIP lines and text/voice messaging, and you can set the order in which messages are sent to the devices. You also can have messages sent to other locations, such as your office, your child’s school or towns in which your relatives live. Keating mentioned the Halloween snowstorm that hit this area in 2011 and said it probably left area residents without power for the longest time ever. Keating said it’s important to be prepared for such lengthy power outages. We need to stock- pile water, allowing two gallons per per- son per day. She suggested rotating through the water supply, periodically replacing the older containers with newer ones. She said people with fireplaces need to be sure they have enough clean, dry wood to use their fireplaces as a source of heat. It’s not enough to have wood stored outside in the weather; it needs to be where it is clean and dry. And it’s best if it is in an easily accessible location, too, so you don’t have to try to get to it under difficult conditions. “It’s nice to be able to stay in your house as long as it’s not dangerous,” Keat- ing said. She noted the need to keep cell phones charged during power outages. That can be done by going to a charging station such as the library or Shepardson Com- munity Center in Middlebury, or by run- ning your car while your cell phone is plugged into it. Keating brought along a large plastic bin set up as an emergency supply kit. She suggested everyone prepare a similar kit, and then went over what the kit con- tained. One item was a large manila envelope containing copies of important docu- ments. Make copies of each family member’s driver’s license, Social Secu- rity card and birth certificate and your pet(s) vaccination records. Include a list of contact telephone numbers and a list of health information. Also put in the envelope photos of your family members. Should you get separated from your family because of a natural disaster, the photos can help you re- unite. Other items in the bin were a blanket, a pocket radio (with batteries or a hand crank), a first aid kit, aspirin, a flashlight, trash bags, all-purpose wipes, plastic cutlery, napkins and paper towels, dust masks, pliers, a can opener, plastic sheeting, duct tape, spare batteries, bleach, an eye dropper, a toothpaste and toothbrush, soap, a whistle, a three- day supply of nonperishable food, a three-day supply of water and books, playing cards and crayons. The list of items is available at www. ct.gov/dph/prepare. Other resources available at that site are brochures and a video. All the brochures Keating brought to the workshop can be downloaded at the site, including the pamphlet, “Con- necticut Guide to Emergency Prepared- ness.” For those who prefer, a printed copy of the pamphlet can be requested through the web page. The nine-page pamphlet walks readers through preparing for an emergency, starting with educating yourself about potential dangers, making a plan for you and your family and putting together the emergency supply kit. It also discusses considerations for children and those who have difficulty seeing, walking, hear- ing or have medical conditions. The pam- phlet also has a form on which you can list important names and phone num- bers. It tells you what to do in case of a number of different emergencies: natural disasters, biological emergencies, chem- ical emergencies, nuclear emergencies, pandemic flu emergencies and drinking water emergencies. The pamphlet is available in nine dif- ferent languages. There also is a down- loadable video for the deaf and hard of hearing that presents the material in American Sign Language. In conjunction with the Department of Health, the Department of Homeland Security offers emergency information in the form of pamphlets including pre- paring for emergencies, preparing your pets for emergencies and preparations older Americans should make. These can be ordered or downloaded at www.ready. gov when you click on “Order Publica- tions” in the bottom left corner of the page. A longstanding issue for pet owners has been that most shelters have not ac- cepted pets. This meant people had a choice of evacuating and leaving their pets behind or staying in their homes with their pets. Keating said, “After Katrina (in New Orleans in 2005), many people died because they stayed with their pets.” She said that has prompted officials to come up with ways to accommodate pets when their owners have to evacuate. She said Connecticut’s State Animal Response Team is working on this issue. Mary Grace Keating of the Connecticut Department of Public Health stands by part of the display on disaster preparedness she brought to her workshop on the subject. She spoke at the Middlebury Public Library last Friday.

“The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple

Truth Behind Extraordinary Results”by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

(Bard Press, $24.95)Reviewed by Molly Ford

If your day-to-day life is feeling like a treadmill where everything is urgent but nothing gets done, bestselling authors Gary Keller and Jay Papasan have a solution for you. It is called “the one thing.” The idea is you need to pause, evaluate your end goal, and then

focus only on the “one thing” that will move you toward that goal, working on it until the task is complete – whether it takes min-utes or months.

In the wake of advice books that focus on multitasking as a productivity solution, this view-point is a breath of fresh air. More importantly, according to the authors, this “one thing” method is how extraordinary results are

best achieved, both in today’s society and throughout history. But though the solution is simple in theory, it can be difficult to put into practice.

That’s where the authors’ guidance is crucial. The book promises that, by focusing on one thing relentlessly, we can turn a goal into an accomplishment. With advice on how to define, choose, modify and measure the results of pursuing the one thing, we can move closer and closer to achieving our most important goal.

While the book is informative, it’s not just a step-by-step manual on productivity. Broken into short chapters that start with mo-tivational quotes, the authors’ mix of case studies and their own experiences running successful ventures offer entertainment as well as guidance. This is more than just a study of productivity concepts; it’s a practical how-to guide for blocking out mundane distractions and managing time in everyday life.

Do you want to accomplish that big goal you have been trying to complete for years? This is your read.

Hospital stays can make you sick. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered that one-quarter of patients in hospitals get serious infections.

The study of more than 11,000 patients, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, looked at antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as bacterium clostridium difficile (commonly known as c. diff) and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a staph infection, being acquired in hospitals. Devices such as catheters and ventilators were included as the sources of infection. The study estimated

more than 700,000 infections were acquired in hospitals in one year alone.

At the root of the massive numbers of antibiotic-resistant infections is the overprescription of antibiotics, which reduces their effectiveness.

If you’re due for hospitaliza-tion, be bold about your own care. The CDC has a poster with these six steps to help avoid hospital infections.

1. Talk to your doctor, ideally before you go into the hospi-tal. Ask what they’ll do to pro-tect you against infections. If you have a catheter, will it be changed every day? How can you prepare in advance to guard against infection?

2. If no relatives or friends are around to represent you in the hospital, speak up! If you don’t see medical staff washing their hands in your room before touching you, assume it wasn’t done and say something.

3. Ask if tests have been done to ensure the right antibiotic is being used.

4. Know the signs of an infec-tion: redness and pain at a surgical site, as well as fever.

5. If you’ve been taking antibi-otics, watch out for diarrhea. Tell your doctor as it could be c. difficile, which can be deadly.

6. Get your flu shots and other vaccinations to prevent infec-tions.Matilda Charles regrets she

Caregiver toolsJanice Zwicker and Ken Winkelstern will

offer the free “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” course Wednesdays, April 23 through May 28, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Danbury Senior Center at 10 Elmwood Place in Danbury. Preregistration is required. Materials need to be obtained, so it is helpful to know the number of attendees ahead of time.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is an educational program designed to help family caregivers take care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from this class whether they are helping a parent, spouse, friend, someone who lives at home, in a nursing home or across the country.

Over the course’s six weeks, caregivers develop strategies to help them reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate their feelings, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful resources. Interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming will help participants identify the “tools” needed for successful care-giving and put them into action in daily life.

Participants receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook developed specifically for the class. The manual’s cost is covered by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Quality of Life grant and other local grantors. To register, contact Zwicker at 203-758-8080.

Showing of ‘The Typist’The Orchards in Southington will host a

free screening of “The Typist,” a film about the Nuremberg Trials, Thursday, April 24, at 1:15 p.m. This film depicts the life story of Minnesota native Larry Tillemans, who is believed to be the last living clerk-typist at the Nuremberg Trials, which were conducted in Germany following World War II to try Nazi war criminals.

As a sergeant in the U.S. 3rd Army, it was Tillemans’ duty to document the testimonies of victims and perpetrators of the Holocaust, which deeply affected him. The film includes interviews with Tillemans, his children and friends, and experts on the Holocaust. Its message emphasizes the importance of remembering history so that its atrocities are not repeated.

Reservations are required to attend the screening; call 860-628-5656 to reserve a seat. The Orchards is at 34 Hobart St. in Southington.

Spring walks at FlandersMembers of the Pomperaug Valley Garden

Club will offer the public guided strolls along Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust’s award-winning Botany Trail three Sunday afternoons, April 27, May 4 and May 11, at 2 p.m.

In springtime, more than 150 wildflowers bloom along the trail.

The walks are free, but donations are welcome. The group will meet in the Flanders Sugar House parking lot, which is off Church Hill Road (1/4 mile east of the intersection of Flanders and Church Hill Roads in Woodbury). In case of rain, that day’s walk

will be canceled. For more information, call 203-263-3711, ext. 10, or visit www.flandersnaturecenter.org.

Hop Brook Park trail closings The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New

England District reminds Hop Brook Park visitors that Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) will continue to work along approximately 0.6 miles of the Wetland and North Trails with heavy equipment through the end of May 2014. Heavy machinery uses the trails for access to CL&P’s right-of-way to allow electrical tower replacement.

Signs advising of trail closings were posted along the trails, but have been vandalized. Due to continued vandalism, signs will not be posted. However, visitors should still remain out of these areas until the CL&P work is complete. Public access is prohibited on the Wetland and North trail areas until further notice. Visitors found on closed trails may be subject to fines and/or arrest.

The remaining portions of the recreation area are available to bicycle and foot traffic. Limited parking is available at the park entrance on Route 63 in Middlebury. Visitors are reminded to lock their vehicles and remove valuables from sight while using the area. For up-to-date information, call the Hop Brook Lake Project Office at 203-729-8840.

Host families neededHave you made your summer

plans? Would you think about hosting a Fresh Air Fund child from New York City? This summer, The Fresh Air Fund needs more host families to carry on its great summertime tradition of sharing the joys of suburban and small-town life with youngsters from New York City – picking berries straight from the vine, chasing fireflies for the first time or walk-ing barefoot through a grassy meadow. For more information on how you can volunteer this summer, contact Heather Roy at 203-758-1351 or [email protected] or visit www.freshair.org.

If you’ve been on the Internet for a number of years and have refused to buy the latest and greatest things that have come out, you might have an unsup-ported operating system.

Specifically, on April 8, 2014, Microsoft ceased support of the XP operating system, which first came out in 2001. While Micro-soft started warning consumers a few years ago, many people have been unwilling to upgrade to the next operating system (Vista and then Windows 7).

With XP support gone, you’ll no longer have security updates. Microsoft won’t fix new system vulnerabilities, ever, and crimi-nals know this.

At the same time, if you don’t want Windows 8.1 (many people don’t), you still have options:• Upgrade your computer to

Windows 7 if you can. This might not be an option if your computer is too old to support the program. Unless you’re highly skilled in wiping hard drives, you’re better off hand-ing your machine over to a re-

pair technician for the instal-lation. Here’s the dilemma many have to face: XP is a 32-bit program. Windows 7 is a 64-bit program. You can’t sim-ply install Windows 7 over XP and expect the upgrade to go well.

The hard drive has to be wiped (erased), with all your programs erased and your files saved elsewhere. Then, after installation, all your software and programs need to be rein-stalled. (Yes, there is a Win-dows 7 32-bit version, but you’re better off avoiding that.) If you have a techie do this up-grade, it’s going to cost you some money for all the hours spent feeding software into your computer.

• Buy a new computer. At this point, you’ll have a hard time finding a new system with Win-dows 7 on it. Everything in stores is now up to Windows 8. Look for one with downgrade rights to Windows 7.

• Buy a refurbished computer with a new copy of Windows 7 64-bit on it and install your software yourself. All in all, this might be your cheapest option. Notice there’s no recommen-

dation to jump in with a new computer and Windows 8.1, which is coming out this month with fixes to Windows 8. Unless you’re going all the way to touch screen and are up for a whole new experience and steep learn-ing curve, Windows 8.1 might be too much of a leap.

She was a nurse’s aide at Fair-field Hills for 36 years. Helen was an honorary member of the Coast Guard for 20 years, an active mem-ber of Animals for Life and also a real estate broker. She was a trainer and breeder of horses, which she loved.

She leaves three nephews, Brian Henley of Woodstock, Ga.; William “Chuck” Henley of Richmond, Va.; and Mark Henley of Woodbury; a niece, Janice Hiltz of Goshen, Conn.; two sisters, Mary Brezak of Middlebury and Ruth Turcotte of West Haven, Conn.; and numerous other family members.

He was a foreman for most of his career, having worked at Scovill and Century Brass, Quantum Plastic Corp., and Ansonia Copper and Brass, from which he retired. In his retirement he continued to work at

Middlebury Elementary School, where he was the cafeteria custo-dian, affectionately known by the staff as “Mr. Ron.” He loved garden-ing and woodworking, but most importantly spending time with his family.

He leaves behind his wife, Sabina (Destefano) Lavallee of Oakville, and their two daughters, Lisa and Gina Lavallee of Meriden; his daughters, Julie Sarandrea and Karen Lavallee; his son, Edward Lavallee; two sisters, Jeanne Levanti and Sheila Windischman; a sister-in-law, Gloria Anne Pavan and her husband, John; a brother-in-law, Joe Destefano and his wife, Ginny, as well as several nieces and neph-ews. He also will be dearly missed by his beloved Sheltie, “Molli.”

Sabina and her girls would like to give a heartfelt thank-you to Glo-ria Anne and John, Joey and Ginny, and Marc and Chris for their tre-mendous support and presence throughout his illness.

The family also would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Bowen and the staff at the Harold Leever Cancer Center for their sup-portive care and the staff of O’Brien IV and VITAS hospice nurses for their exceptional care.

The funeral was Thursday at St. John the Evangelist Church in Wa-tertown. Burial was to be at the convenience of the family. Arrange-ments were by Chase Parkway Me-morial/The Albini Family Funeral Home in Waterbury.

The Pomperaug High School softball team is off to a quick start at 3-1 on the season. The Lady Pan-thers opened with a 10-0 win over Ridgefield as senior pitcher Lauren Reilly spun a three-hitter and sparked the attack with two doubles.

Erin Ruggerio and Brianna Antonazzo collected two hits and two RBIs each to pace the offense in the win over the Tigers. Rebecca Meyer and Ashley An-tonazzo each came through with three hits as the Panthers came away with 15 hits in the victory.

Last Friday, the bats stayed hot as Pomperaug unleashed a nine-hit attack, earning a 9-1 win over Joel Barlow and improving to 2-0 on the season. Ashley Antonazzo went five innings in the pitcher’s circle, allowing five hits and striking out four with catcher Anabella Pastorok getting the job done be-hind the plate.

“The girls are all doing a good job, and it’s all coming together,” said Pomperaug head coach Paul Masotto. “We are getting timely hitting, solid pitch-ing, and the defense is making the plays in the field. Certainly a good way to start the season.”

The Panthers didn’t waste any time in putting Barlow on notice as Pomperaug plated two runs in the first inning to take the lead. Reilly led off with a base on balls and took second on a passed ball.

Ruggerio popped up between the catcher and the pitcher’s circle, beating out an infield hit with Reilly pulling into third to put runners at the corners. Bri-anna Antonazzo didn’t waste the opportunity as she came through with a two-out single to right field that sent Reilly across the plate. Ruggerio came home on a wild pitch for a 2-0 advantage.

“I thought we were heads up on the bases and that helped us to score a few runs,” added Masotto. “This is the most versatile team I’ve had in years. We have a lot of young kids who are contributing, and that will help us out now that senior Kennedy Gibson is out for a couple of weeks.”

Pomperaug was at it again in the next inning when Ashley Antonazzo singled and pinch runner Lauren Rubinstein stole second and third. Barlow pitcher Brianna Marcelino managed to get out of the inning without further damage.

Barlow did get something going in the third when Sam Hilford came through with the first hit for the Falcons. That uprising was short-lived as Ashley Antonazzo turned up the heat and struck out two batters to get out of the jam.

The Panthers tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the frame as Ruggerio reached on a dropped throw to first base. Kaela Harris belted a single up the middle, and Ruggerio scored on a ground out to shortstop off Meyer’s bat.

The Falcons closed the gap in the fourth in spite of some heads-up defense by Pomperaug when Meyer fielded a smash down the third-base line and erased the lead runner. Zoe Marcelino scored on a run-scoring single to center by Gloria Davey, and Barlow trailed by a slim 3-1 margin.

If there was any thought the Barlow Falcons would make a comeback, that was quickly erased in the next inning when Pomperaug erupted for five runs to put the game away.

Ruggerio led off with an infield hit to start the bottom of the fifth, and Harris got every bit of her pitch, driving a triple into the gap. Brianna Antonazzo singled to center, and Laurel Williams reached on a throwing error by the third baseman.

Annie Yacavone drew a walk, and Jess Eisenbach hit a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Lauren LaCava hit one up the middle that second baseman Lydia Dazzo managed to get a glove on to end the uprising, but Pomperaug was in command, holding an 8-1 advan-tage.

Bella Buonosso came on to pitch the final two innings in relief to close out the win. Pomperaug added a run in the sixth when Reilly hit an infield single and came around to score on a wild pitch.

After losing a tough game to Lauralton Hall Sat-urday, the Panthers got back in the win column by earning a hard-fought 4-3 win over New Milford Monday. Reilly scattered six hits in the complete game effort with Harris’s two hits and two RBIs pac-ing the offense along with Meyer’s two hits and one run.

Pomperaug will be back in action next week at Barlow on Monday and at Bunnell of Stratford on Wednesday with both contests starting at 4:15 p.m.

We self-installed a kitchen faucet last year, an expensive sin-gle-lever unit with a

faucet that curves up several inches high so there’s plenty of room for pots and pans under-neath. For several weeks now, whenever I turn off the water, a thin stream of water continues trickling out of the faucet for sev-eral minutes. I make sure to push the lever all the way down when I turn it off, but that doesn’t fix it. How do we repair this? – Joyce G., Burlington, Vt.

If you saved the manu-facturer instructions or warranty card, dig that

paper out and look for a customer service number. The most likely problem with the faucet is a faulty cartridge, and in a unit that was only purchased about a year ago, that part should be covered in the faucet’s warranty. Contacting the manufacturer through the num-ber given on the manual or war-ranty card will connect you with a troubleshooting department that can walk you through addi-

tional steps to determine whether a replacement cartridge is needed.

If you can’t find those docu-ments, go to the manufacturer’s website and look up the faucet model – a manual may be avail-able online, along with a contact number. Or, if it’s out of warranty but you have the receipt, contact the store where you bought the faucet; some home-improvement stores have return or parts re-placement policies in place for many of their items, particularly pricier ones.

If the manufacturer (or the store) agrees it’s a cartridge issue and is covered, it will send you a replacement cartridge. A new set of O-rings also should be in-cluded; if not, you’ll want to pur-

chase the correct-size rings for your faucet model at the home-improvement store.

The beauty of a cartridge faucet is that, compared to older valve-type faucets, replacement is al-most a breeze. You don’t have to struggle with reseating the valve stem – praying that you haven’t ground the reseating tool around too far. Instead, you just pop in the new cartridge and replace the faucet seals. You shouldn’t have to worry about servicing that fau-cet again for several years.

A number of online videos de-tail the replacement of a kitchen faucet cartridge, which should help you with the repair.

I am out in my gardens every day now. I don’t always have time to perform chores, but I do get to see the results of all the hard work I did in the fall. Everyone should keep a log of what they plant in the fall. I am not always good at doing this.

When you buy perennials, there is usually a plastic stake in

the pot with information about your plant. This year as I planted each plant, I placed that stake in the ground right next to the plant

so I would know what I planted. My spring bulbs are all emerg-

ing, and some of my daffodils are blooming. My hellebores are fi-nally blooming. I was afraid my Montauk daisies were not going to come back because of the drought-like conditions last fall, but I just saw the leaves are start-ing to sprout. Now I will cut them back to make them look neat. I will cut them back again in June so that they do not become too leggy.

As you clean up your gardens, try to clean up the weeds as well. It will give you a head start on controlling them. I have one more garden to clean up, and then the next chore is amending the soil and fertilizing.

Enjoy your time in the garden!

Spring cleanup continues

DEAR DR. ROACH: My family and I took a seven-day cruise more than six weeks ago. I still am feeling like I am on the ship. All day, it feels as though I am walking on a swinging bridge. I did not even notice the move-ment while on the ship, nor did I get sick. I did not take any mo-tion-sickness medicine while on the cruise. No one else in my family is having this problem. I am a 50-year-old female.

Is there any treatment for this? What kind of doctor would I see? How long would you expect this to last? – T.S.ANSWER: You have the classic symptoms of disembarkment syndrome, also called mal de debarquement. Whereas most people getting off a boat or ship will have the sensation of moving for a few hours, in people with this syndrome the symptoms may continue for months or even years. It seems to be more likely in women and may have an as-sociation with migraine head-ache. Interestingly, going back on a boat can make it better in the short term, but worse later.

One treatment is clonazepam, which provides some short-term relief. Standard treatments for vertigo usually do not help. For-tunately, most cases do get better after some weeks or months, but

18 percent still have symptoms even a year later. An expert in balance problems, often an ENT doctor, would be most likely to be familiar with this condition.

The booklet on vertigo ex-plains dizziness in detail and outlines its treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing Dr. Roach, No. 801W, 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.DEAR DR. ROACH: I look down in the toilet and see my urine is white and foamy. What is this, what causes it and is there any-thing I can do? – A.V.R.ANSWER: Foamy urine raises concern of excess protein. High amounts of protein in the urine could result from nephrotic syn-

drome, an indication of a serious kidney condition. Any doctor can do a urine test for protein; if it’s positive, your doctor will have you collect all the urine you make in 24 hours to see how much protein there is.DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m won-dering about the commercials regarding eating ice cream. The way they sound, it’s OK to eat it without fear of fat. I’m a male in his 70s, in fine health, and I am wondering if eating it is fine, but just once in a while. Thank you. – A.A.ANSWER: Ice cream has more saturated fat and sugar than is good for you. People who want to be super-healthy don’t eat ice cream at all. However, I am a be-liever that it’s OK to indulge your-self once in a while in something that might not be the healthiest for you. Just make sure it’s some-thing closer to once a month than it is to once a day.

Dr. Roach regrets he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Read-ers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853–6475.

Bird- watching

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: With a couple of family members already heavily into it, I’m interested in becoming a bird-watcher too – if only to have something interesting to talk about at holiday dinners. I thought it would be easy, but even just bird-watching in my backyard, I haven’t seen much more than sparrows. Any tips? – Bart L., Portland, Ore.DEAR BART: As a new bird-watcher myself, I’ll fall back on the experts on this one. That’s because starting out in the hobby (or is it a sport?) can be surprisingly difficult in some respects, such as finding birds that are more interesting than your common backyard species.

The “10,000 Birds” blog has a very nice post that lays out some key tips for new bird-watchers. First, the time of year is key to spotting certain types of birds; but more importantly, find ex-perienced bird-watchers, and pay attention to what they tell you. It’s not as easy as grabbing a good pair of binoculars and striding forth into nature; you need to know where certain birds are likely to nest or hunt, and the best areas from which to spot them.

The Internet is a great re-source, particularly group meet-up sites like Meetup.com, on which you can locate bird- watching groups in your area. If you can’t find one that suits your schedule or that looks “right” for you, contact your local Au-dubon chapter to find out about other groups, chapter meetings, or educational seminars or classes.Send your questions or comments to [email protected].

MARLEYMarley is a black Lab, possibly mixed with a tad of chow. He has

the sweetest disposition and loves everything. He is a bundle full of fun and energy, but also has his laid-back time when he just wants to lie directly on top of you. Marley is a cuddle bug and would like a home where he can run and play, as any dog will, but also be your best buddy and friend. He loves other dogs and will play with them here. As for cats, he does not seem to mind them at all. He will be neutered soon and ready for adoption!

BOOBOOBooBoo, Marley’s sidekick, is a sweet and lovable little guy that

is just the happiest little guy you could want to meet! He loves other animals and would acclimate to most any home. He was surren-dered by his owner, who just wanted the very best for his animals. Living in a car was just not the life he desired for his buddies. Soon Booboo will be neutered and ready to go to a new home. For more information, please send an email to us!
