• It was nonviolent Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi who made the following sage observation: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
• Beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss had a hobby that few people were aware of: He collected hats.
• With the summer holidays approaching, you might want to keep in mind this tidbit: Every year, 75,000 stuffed animals are left behind in hotels. Be sure to check under the bed before you leave!
• It was long believed that a single piece of pa-per couldn’t be folded more than seven times, but in 2002, high-schooler Britney Gallivan disproved that notion. She ordered a 4,000-foot-long roll of toilet paper and, along with her family, headed to a shopping mall to try to break the seven-fold limit. After seven hours, she and her family had succeed-ed in folding the paper 12 times, putting an end to the myth.
• Ancient Mayan warriors were known to throw hornets’ nests at each other in battle.
• At some point you’ve almost certainly heard a coward described as “lily-livered,” but did you ever wonder where that expression came from? It was once believed that the seat of courage in the human body was the liver; therefore, someone who was timid presumably lacked blood in the liver, causing that organ to become white.
• If you’re like the average American, you spend 38 hours in traffic every year. If you live in Chi-cago, you’re stuck for 46 hours. If you’re unlucky enough to be driving in Los Angeles, you’ll be at the mercy of traffic for a whopping 72 hours every year.

Q: I haven’t seen my favorite actress, Katherine Heigl, in a while. Will she be back on TV soon, or is she a full-fledged movie star now? -- Penny T.,
via emailA: While Katherine is still a big-screen draw -- she
has four movies coming out within a year of each other -- she hasn’t forgotten her small-screen roots. Katherine -- who got her big break on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” -- is set to return to series television to star in NBC’s “State of Affairs,” a drama about a CIA attache (Katherine) who advises the president on “high-stakes incidents around the world” while trying to manage her complicated personal life. The pilot has been shot, and things are looking good for a series pickup.
Speaking of “Grey’s Anatomy,” Isaiah Washington is set to return to the series as Dr. Preston Burke for an episode in May. The show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, told “The Wrap” that Isaiah’s character is vital to tying up the story of Sandra Oh’s character, Cristina Yang. Shonda revealed: “It’s important to me that Cristina’s journey un-folds exactly as it should. Burke is vital to that journey -- he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang.”
• • •Q: Please tell me that the rumors of a Journey reunion with Steve
Perry are true! -- Samuel D., Fort Lauderdale, Fla.A: Not yet ... but word is that they are closer than ever to work-
ing things out. In a recent interview, Steve said: “We’re trying. It’s tough. I’m doing my best in that area, and I can only do so much.
The older I get, the more I do realize how impor-tant what we had all together and how it worked. ... [lifting] each other to this place that you can’t get to alone. I think that’s probably the biggest chemistry thing I recognize now.”
And Journey’s founder, Neal Schon, wrote on his Facebook page recently: “I hope we can reach out to each other and connect once again. We had amazing chemistry together. I love him with all the love and admiration you could ever have. Steve, let’s talk soon.” I have all of my fingers and toes crossed for a reunion!
• • •Q: Can you tell me when “Falling Skies” will return? I can’t
wait! -- Jimmy F., via emailA: The fourth season of TNT’s hit series “Falling Skies,” which
stars Noah Wyle and Will Patton, premieres Sunday, June 22, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series is about life and survival in the wake of a catastrophic alien invasion. Before that at 9 p.m., check out the new action series “The Last Ship,” from executive producer Michael Bay and starring Eric Dane. The series is about a Navy vessel that may be humanity’s last hope in the wake of a worldwide catastrophe.

Q: I have a Mr. Peanut novelty bracelet made of plastic and metal, probably from the 1960s. Is it worth keeping? -- Rhonda, Albuquerque, N.M.
A: Your Mr. Peanut bracelet is valued in the $25 to $35 range, depending on condition and style. There were sev-eral designs made of this bracelet, which usually were given away as premiums by the company. Other values include a Planter’s Mr. Peanut display jar, $35; a plastic lapel pin, $15; and a ballpoint pen, $20.
• • •Q: I began collecting bottles as a teenager in Nevada.
During the past 40 years, I have managed to find more than 400 bottles, many of them from saloons and pharmacies in Nevada. Since I now find myself downsizing, I would like to donate my collection to a museum or institution where it can be seen and enjoyed by others. -- Sam, Las Vegas
A: I suggest you contact the Nevada State Museum, 600 N. Carson St., Carson, NV 89701; 775-687-4810. Your collec-tion sounds interesting, and I hope you find an appropriate home for it.
• • •Q: In 1937, I visited a relative in Britain and was given
a Wedgwood earthenware cup and saucer commemorating the coronation of George VI and Elizabeth. Is it valuable? -- Sue, Waco, Texas
A: Commemorative ware has become increasingly popular in recent years. For example, a Royal Doulton bone china cup that was issued to mark the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer has increased in value to al-most $700; a plate featuring an image of Queen Victoria from 1887, $400; and an eggcup showing Princess Margaret Rose, $95. Your cup and saucer probably are worth about $50.
• • •Q: My granddad worked in a North Dakota assay office
during the 1920s and ‘30s. I have inherited his scale, which was used to weigh gold ore during that same period. I would like to find out more about it. -- Rob, Mason, Iowa
A: Bob Jibben is president of the International Society of Antique Scale Collectors, and he has agreed to help you. Founded in 1976, the ISASC is an active non-profit group. Contact Jibben at 1821 W. 49th St., Minneapolis, MN 55419; [email protected]; and www.ISASC.org.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTHBy Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
Head and Ear Noise Drives People Crazy
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have tinnitus. It sounds like roaring in my head. I take gabapentin for it. Do you know of anything else for it? -- E.A.
ANSWER: You have an affliction that would drive me crazy -- tinnitus, a constant noise in one or both ears or the head that people describe in a variety of ways as ringing, whistling, buzzing, hissing or roaring. An estimate of the number of Americans suffering from tin-nitus (TIN-uh-tiss or tuh-NITE-iss) is somewhere between 16 million and 60 million.
Tinnitus mostly happens to older people whose hearing is diminish-ing. Why tinnitus arises in them is explained by the fact that head noises are generated constantly. Outside noise entering the ears obliterates these internal noises. When deafness approaches, the volume of external noises greatly lessens, and the internal noises then become prominent and nerve-racking. If your hearing is growing dimmer, a hearing aid will help you hear more clearly and will dampen your tinnitus.
Other causes of tinnitus are as banal as a wax impaction in the ear-drum, something easily taken care of by the family doctor. Drugs like aspirin and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (Aleve, Advil, Motrin) can bring on tinnitus if they are constantly used.
If a cause cannot be determined, then other approaches have to be taken. A bedside radio tuned to a station that plays the kind of music you like can reduce the volume of tinnitus. Nighttime is the worst time for it.
Tinnitus maskers, devices worn like a hearing aid, emit a constant sound that dulls tinnitus.
Do get in touch with the American Tinnitus Association. It will provide you with a wealth of information on tinnitus and its treatments. You can reach the association online at www.ata.org. If you don’t have a computer, surely a friend, neighbor or relative does and can hook you up with the association.

practice, liver cysts are seen quite frequently. Most liver cysts neither cause pain nor upset liver function. No one is sure why they form. Unless they are large or are causing symptoms, they can be left alone.
Trouble-making liver cysts do exist. Some parasite infections cause them. Those cysts almost always produce symptoms that call for treatment.
• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I recently read several articles about the use
of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. I am interested in using it for prostate and urinary tract problems. Are there real benefits from it? -- J.C.
ANSWER: Concentrations of 1.5 percent hydrogen peroxide are used by some as a mouthwash and at 1.5 percent to 3 percent as a wound cleaner. The same doses are used to remove wax from the ear canal.
I can’t find any confirmation of the benefit of using food-grade
hydrogen peroxide for prostate or urinary tract problems. I would not encourage you to use it. Food grade is a very high concentration.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 18-month-old Lab mix, “Sadie,” is old enough to go camping and hiking with me, but my two usual hiking buddies aren’t sure. They say we won’t be allowed to hike many trails with her, and that she’ll be a distraction on trips. What do you think? -- Bill in Franklin, Tenn.
DEAR BILL: Bringing your dog along on camping and hik-ing trips does take extra preparation and planning, but it can be a blast and an important experience for Sadie. If it’s important to you, make the case with your friends to bring Sadie along. While many city, state or national parks don’t allow pets, a large number do allow them, with restrictions that vary depending on the park.
Go online and look up the areas you want to visit this year for their rules regarding pets, or call the park directly. List parks that absolutely don’t allow dogs versus those that do allow them.
Happy Trails
If your friends won’t budge about Sadie, it doesn’t have to absolutely be your dog versus them. Plan some outings with your friends, and some outings with Sadie. If you want to camp or hike with a group, plan that with others who are open to bringing Sadie along. If you don’t know anyone, look for dog-friendly hiking groups on Meetup.com or at the local camping-supply store’s message board.
With that said, remember that Sadie needs to be well-behaved and socialized before taking her camping. Conduct obedience training daily and make sure she responds to your commands promptly. You need to be able to call her back from potentially dangerous situations while out hiking. Learn more about training Sadie and packing for your dog at REI’s website.

A woman and her little girl were visiting the grave of the little girl's grandmother. On their way through the cemetery back to the car, the little girl asked, "Mommy, do they ever bury two people in the same grave?"
"Of course not, dear," replied the mother . "Why would you think that?"
"The tombstone back there said, 'Here lies a lawyer and an honest man.'"
The stockbroker received notice from the IRS that he was being audited. He showed up at the appointed time and place with all his financial records, then sat for what seemed like hours as the accountant pored over them.
Finally the IRS agent looked up and commented, "You must have been a tremendous fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle."
"Why would you say that?" wondered the broker."Because you've made more brilliant deductions on
your last three returns than Sherlock Holmes made in his entire career."
