Publisher's Corner by Sean AtheyBrrrrrrrr!!
I don't know about you, but I had to look pretty far back in the closet for the winter jacket... and I still haven't found where I put the long underwear last spring. I sus-pect my search will become more intense as the temps drop!
I always looked forward to the changing seasons as a kid growing up here in Northeast South Dakota. Winter was especially fun - not for the cold, but the eventual snowfall that seemed to give a new life to the same location. Where I grew up on my folks place we had lots of hills, so the snow was welcome for the sledding, snow fort building and snowmobiling... not so fun for the driveway that went uphill and curved slightly to the right. Just getting out some winter days was an adventure. I remember my sister and I sitting over the wheel wells of the two-wheel drive van we had, bouncing up and down while mom slowly tried to crawl up the driveway. I am not sure we were help-ing all that much... I think a sack of potatoes weighed more than I did as a kid! But, we always made it... one way or another.
The slippery, winter roads are going to be upon us so please be aware and drive accordingly. Remem-ber... getting there is the point.
Question of the Week..."How many trees did you kill putting out your pa-
per this week?"Well, last I checked timber is a sustainable natu-
ral resource. Properly managed timber harvest is good for the forest, good for industry and good for jobs. Forest management and removal of underbrush keeps the wildfire possibility lower and makes it eas-ier for our brave firefighting men and women to save homes and lives. Nearly all the companies I looked into have a robust replanting program.... some of

them plant two trees for each one harvested. Plus, we have many private organizations that work at plant-ing and sustaining trees that help lessen erosion and emit oxygen... I am not sure about you, but I am kind of partial to oxygen - you know what they say - you can't live without it.
As I stated last week, our pickup rate for Tidbits is around 90%. This is an important number to us be-cause we hate waste. Our own recycling we do in our home reduces our landfill contribution to an average of less than one bag of garbage per week.
So, Lynette and I encourage recycling of all kinds. Now, recycling this Tidbits paper doesn't mean just taking it to your local recycling center once you've read the articles, checked out our sponsors and ad-vertisers, did a puzzle or two, laughed at a joke (or groaned!). You can recycle it by sharing it with oth-ers, repurposing it for painting projects, peel pota-toes onto it or my favorite... make giant paper airplanes out of it and see who's flies the farthest before you send it to recycling.
I also wanted to tell you a bit about the ink used to put these words and pictures on the paper. It is soy-based ink created from... drum roll, please.. soy beans! I don't have to tell people in this part of the country where soy beans come from. We feel good that we are doing something to help support a market for a locally produced product. Soy based ink is also more easily recycled than petroleum-based inks, which, in turn saves energy and resources.
Another way we do our best to avoid waste with our paper is the way we distribute Tidbits. We are constantly working to bring our product to as many business locations as possible to make it as convenient as we can for you to pick up

during your weekly travels.There are two main reasons for this. Number one
is that we want to give people a reason to stop into our local, main street businesses. They need the foot traffic. It is no secret that our friends and neighbors that own and operate small businesses have it tough these days fighting the internet retail giants and the big corporate box stores.
The second reason we distribute Tidbits the way we do is this... it may come a shock, but some people are just not "readers". If we used the "shotgun" ap-proach of tossing one in every yard or filling up every mailbox, and then tried to claim that "100%" of the people are reading Tidbits, we would not be telling the truth and smart people would know it. But, when our papers are picked up and taken into someone's home, we know they find value in what we are doing and they are reading our product.
We also have a set of readers... this includes our friends traveling through the area... that enjoy the paper while at local businesses. For them, they can read and en-joy our paper, without having to figure out where to recycle it or throw it away, because we have the respect to come back and pick up that 10% of our papers the next week.
Does our distribution system work? Well, if you are reading this right now... mission accom-
plished.Now, for the die hard "greenies" out there that tell
me you don't have any waste because you do every-thing digitally. Hmmm... did your device/computer/tablet grow right out of the ground? No, it was pro-duced through an industrial process with plastics, metals and chemicals, most likely made in some for-eign country. Here's a statistic for you...
In 2012, we generated 3.412 million tons of
e-waste in the U.S. Of this amount, only 1 million tons or 29.2 % was recycled, according to the EPA (up from 25% in 2011). The rest was trashed – in landfills or incinera-tors.
Hopefully, the trend of recycling e-waste continues to climb in the future and I am going to do my best to do my part. We need to continue to increase the recycling of electronic devices, partially because of a thing called "Planned Obsolescence". What is that, you ask... here's the definition.
"Planned obsolescence or built-in obsolescence in industrial design is a policy of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life, so it will become obsolete, that is, unfashionable or no longer functional after a certain period of time."
In a nutshell, that means creating something with a weak link so it fails and the consumer must repurchase that item. I have a fan in my garage that was made in the 70s that is still working fine... I have yet buy a new fan that lasts more than two years. Another personal example is a dehumidifier we had that worked perfectly until one day, it just stopped. I couldn't figure out why, so I started looking at the warranty paperwork... amazingly the warranty ran out 34 days prior... hmmm, just food for thought.
Now, I don't want to sound like a hypocrite... I am typ-ing this on a computer that is sitting next a printer and I also have an iPhone in my pocket. We do encourage peo-ple to read Tidbits on our website (www.LakeAreaTidbits.com)... using their tablet, computer or smartphone. The current issue, and the last few papers, are always available 24/7 for your enjoyment - with no subscriptions or fees... plus extra jokes, events, clickable links from our advertis-ers and any other "Tidbits" that we find interesting.
The tools we have to communicate in this modern world are awesome... the quality of what we communi-cate is a whole different subject for another Publisher's Corner.
Please enjoy this issue, share it with your friends and neighbors... THEN RECYCLE IT!
Recycling 1 short ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7 thousand US gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of elec-tricity – enough energy to power the average American home for six months.

YOU CAN WIN With Tidbits
You’ve likely heard that our Social Security increase for 2015 will be only 1.7 percent. Last year, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 1.5 percent, so it’s a small improvement. But here is how that translates into real money: The average monthly increase will be $20.
Here are a few items from the Bureau of Labor Statistics chart:
During 2014, food went up 3 percent. (Of that, beef has gone up 17.8 percent since Janu-ary. Dairy has gone up 10 times in the past 11 months. All meats, poultry, fish and eggs have increased 9.4 percent this year.) Utilities went up 3.5 percent. Medical care commodities went up 2.9 percent. Medical care services went up 1.7 percent.
The net loss of those dollars is in our current buying power. The loss will be made worse down the road because of compounding. Dollars we don’t get now can’t be compounded in years to
come. Seniors League has a calculator to deter-mine the long-lasting impact of this low COLA. Go to seniorsleague.org and enter your figures. It will show you the dollar loss over time.
COLA became mandatory in 1975. The yearly increase or decrease is based on the Consumer Price Index, which includes food, shelter, doctor and dentists, drugs and other day-to-day goods and services, with figures collected every month in 87 urban areas. Since 2010, the increase has averaged 1.4 percent per year. In two recent years it didn’t increase at all.
If this low COLA for 2015 keeps you from being able to quit work, remember that you can earn $15,720 before it starts taking $1 out of your benefits for every $2 you earn. If you’re ready to turn 66 next year, that earning limit will be $41,880 before it takes $1 for every $3 you earn.

Little Bob went with his mom to church every Sunday. One morning in the middle of the service Bob complained that he was feeling a
bit queasy and was afraid he was going to puke. “No problem dear,” whispered his Mom in his ear, “just head on over to the bathroom on
the other side of the Church, and take care of it there.” Thirty sec-onds later Bob came back. “Did you go to the bathroom?” questioned his Mom. “No need” responded Bob. “Right outside the door was a big box with a sign next to it ‘for the sick’, so I just did it in there!”
A friend of mine was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the priest was standing at the door, as always, to shake hands with the worshipers. He grabbed my friend by the hand
and pulled him aside. He said to him, “You need to join the army of the Lord.” My friend replied, “I’m already in the army of the
Lord, Father.”So the priest inquired, “Then how come I only see you at Christmas and at Easter?”
My friend whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”

• • •Q: My mother and grandmother were doll collectors for most
of their lives. I have inherited their collections of about 275 dolls, some rare, some not so rare. I would like to sell them, but don’t want to do it on eBay. What do you recommend?
- Sally, Alamo Heights, TexasA: One of the best solutions might be Theriault’s. For more than
40 years, this auction house has helped find homes for new and collector dolls. Its consignments service might be helpful. Contact is P.O. Box 151, Annapolis, MD 21404; and 410-224-3655. Check out Theriault’s current auction catalog at www.theriaults.com.

These nonrefundable application fees were es-tablished in 1987 at $5, and now application fees will be $10. Additional revenue generated from the nonrefundable application fees will be used in the management of these big game species, in particular GFP’s elk depredation program.
The Commission also adopted a reduction to the number of days individuals are allowed to use bait stations for attracting big game species for the purposes of hunting. Currently, big game bait stations are not allowed from Aug. 15 - Feb. 1, inclusive. Bait stations will now also be pro-hibited from March 15-May 31, inclusive and include a research allowance.
For more information on bait stations, please visit the information in the 2014 South Dakota Hunting and Trapping handbook, located online at: http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/regulations/default.aspx.

Once upon a time there was an archery contest. The first archer, wearing a long cape covering his face, lines up in position...He takes a deep breath and fires an arrow which finds the center of the target. Then he takes of his cape and screams: I AM...... ROBIN HOOD!!! The crowd cheers! The second archer with a cape lines up in position. He fires his arrow which hits the center and cuts robin hood's arrow into two!!! He takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... WILLIAM TELL!!!!!! The crowd cheers!! finally, a third man in cape lines up in position... He fires his arrow but it goes all wrong!!! It flies past the crowd and kills the king!!! Then the man takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... SORRY!!!

• When hammering a nail, try this save-your-finger trick: Use a clothespin to hold the nail steady, and then use your hammer to drive
it in. Hammering into the wall? Push the nail through a strip of cardboard, and then hold the cardboard over the right spot. No more banged up fingers or thumbs!• “Exfoliation can be easy if you already have a bag or jar of Epsom salts. Soak in a warm bath and rub the salts over your skin to gently scrub dead skin away. A
little essential oil might help, too!” -- D.D. in Florida• Got plastic packaging that is a pain to get open? Use your can opener. Run it around the sides to break into your packages. It works!• To easily get keys on a keychain, use a staple remover to create an opening to slip the keys on. It is very effec-tive and will keep you from getting frustrated.• A great use for those old knee-high stockings (no runs!): Stuff with a mix of crystalized kitty litter and scent-boosting beads you can find in the laundry aisle.
Stuff these in stinky shoes to freshen and deodorize. The litter wicks away moisture from sweaty feet and deodorizes, and the scent boosters last for a good long while.• Skunk run-in? Try this mix before you buy pricey de-stink shampoos at the pet store. Mix a quart of 3 per-cent peroxide, a teaspoon or two of dish soap, 1/4 cup of baking soda and quart of room-temp water. Apply to pet, and work deeply into the fur. Massage in for five minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

• It was noted Ameri-can architect Frank Lloyd Wright who made the fol-lowing sage observation:
“The truth is more important than the facts.” • You might be surprised to learn that the Ford
Mustang, an icon of American automobiles, was originally named the Torino.
• If you live in Arkansas, you can reflect on the fact that your state is home to the only diamond mine in North America.
• Popular Science magazine once dipped its toes into predictions -- and got it all wrong. In 1898, it published an article stating, “The energy necessary to propel [an airplane] would be many times greater than that required to drive a train of cars at the same speed; hence as a means of rapid transit, flying could not begin to compete with the railroad.” The maga-zine can be forgiven its lack of foresight, though, considering the fact that the first powered airplane flight didn’t even occur until five years later.
• Tofu has the distinction of being the most hated food in America.
• Method, a company that makes eco-friendly home-cleaning products, has at their headquarters a brainstorming room whose walls, floor and ceil-ing are completely covered in live, growing grass. The purpose? To bring the outdoors in, and to “keep Method weird.”

Those who lived at Camp LeJeune during its toxic wa-ter heyday (from 1957 to 1987) drank water contaminated with dry-cleaning fluids that seeped into a well from a dry cleaners that was only 900 feet from the water supply and solvent from a leaking fuel tank farm.
Babies were born with twice the average number of birth defects. There have been kidney, bladder, ovarian, cervical, lung, prostate and breast cancers among veterans and dependents. Add in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leuke-mia and liver disease. Some of these illnesses surfaced fairly quickly, but getting attention from the VA was dif-ficult when it was claimed there was nothing wrong with the water. And there was no help for dependents.
Families and individuals sued for damages. But not every illness surfaced quickly enough to be tied in to the Camp LeJeune water lawsuits because of the Statute of Repose. In an attempt to get them some help, the North Carolina legislature tried to undo its Statute of Repose, which had limited filing of lawsuits to ten years, to allow families to file beyond that time limit. Finally, after a string of lawsuits and appeals, a federal court objected to North
Carolina’s new legislation attempts. Claims older than ten years are now dead.
Starting a few years ago, veterans were one by one able to convince VA doctors that they were made ill by the Camp Lejeune water. In 2012 a law was passed to cover the health costs (after any other insurance pays first) of dependents who were made sick by the water. Only now, two years later, are they getting around to actually doing that, and it’s limited to a list of illnesses and costs incurred only since March 26, 2013.

• “Here’s a fun afternoon of play just waiting to happen: Check with your lo-cal grocery store or big-box store to see if it has uncrushed cardboard boxes.
Get several to create a cardboard city in your living room or child’s bedroom. They can be decorated to look like any-thing, or cut, trimmed and taped into most any shape. Kids even like to stock them with pillows and blankets for a cozy sleepover. When you’re done, break them down and recycle until the next adventure.” -- J.J. in Florida
• Sources who know say that if you drop a clean glass mar-ble in your tea kettle, it will prevent it from scaling.
• Like to use paper towels to dry your clean hands? Set them aside to dry instead of just throwing them out, then you can use them with glass cleaner or other solutions.
• Use a shower curtain cut or folded in half under baby’s high chair to make floor clean-up easier.
• “Air-popped popcorn is healthier for you. If you have an air popper, you’ll also have a jar of popcorn kernels. Keep them in the refrigerator or even the freezer. You can use
them straight from the fridge, and the bonus is that you’ll have fewer unpopped kernels and bigger, fluffier popcorn.” -- E.M. in Wisconsin
