BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.

We love four-legged crea-tures. But our aim is to protectYOU, not them, when we tellyou they don't belong on yourdinner plate.

The real reason to steerclear of steers is that they jackup your risk for many cancers,heart disease, metabolic syn-drome -- and, more than any-one knew, stroke.

It only takes a little to do alot of damage. A major newstudy found that women whoeat just 3.6 ounces of red meatdaily -- less than a small burg-er at most diners and fast-foodjoints -- are 42 percent morelikely to have a stroke thanthose who eat less than 1ounce. Processed meats areworse: Only 1.5 ounces a day

boosts stroke risk by 24 per-cent.

How does meat wreak suchhavoc? The big culprits arethought to be, yep, the usualsuspects: artery-clogging satu-rated fat and the high saltcontent in processed meats.Both may accelerate the pro-duction of cell-damaging freeradicals and increase yourblood pressure, the maincause of stroke.

So why risk it, especiallywhen so many other great pro-teins are healthy gold mines?

1. Fish. Salmon and troutare full of those good-for-youfats: heart-healthy omega-3s.

2. Skinless white-meatchicken, ground turkey breast,tofu and non-fat dairy. Theselow-cal proteins pack muscle-building punch and help keepyou younger longer.

3. Nuts. Not only are nutsgood protein sources but manyof them -- especially walnutsand almonds -- lower lousyLDL cholesterol. Walnutshave more than six times asmany omega-3s as any othernut.

4. Beans. These legumesare chock-full of fiber and cho-lesterol-lowering flavonoids.

Enjoy the flavor of livinglonger.

What 4-Legged Foods DoTo Your Body And Brain

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:From time to time, I haveheadaches that make my lifereally miserable. I have triedmany pain relievers, butnone works dependably forme. I have also seen myshare of doctors, includingneurologists. None of themsays these are migraineheadaches. None of their sug-gestions has helped.

A friend, who is into alter-native medical treatments,suggests I try biofeedback.What is your opinion of it? Isit a hoax? -- B.N.

ANSWER: Biofeedback is-n't a hoax. It has a legitimaterole in the treatment of manyillnesses and in the control ofpain. It's a way to teach thebody how to respond to painand how to minimize it. It'san attempt to get the body toheal itself.

If you go the biofeedbackroute, see a person who iswell-trained in this kind oftherapy. It requires a profes-sional who knows the tech-niques and how to applythem. Your family doctormight be able to help you lo-cate such a person.

For people suffering fromheadaches, the therapist ap-plies sensors to the scalp.They monitor the action ofscalp muscles. If the musclesare contracting, as they do intension headaches, theytransmit that information toa screen so it is displayed.

The therapist teaches theperson how to relax the con-tracting muscles. That isseen on the screen, too. Withrelaxation of the scalp mus-cles, pain should ease or goaway. This doesn't work inone session. You have to prac-

tice the technique untilyou've mastered it.

Biofeedback doesn't workfor all people or for all ill-nesses. When it is successful,it's a wonderful way to con-trol pain without resorting to

drugs.TO READERS: Vertigo

(dizziness) is a common com-plaint of many older people.The booklet on that topic pre-sents an outline of vertigoand it treatment. To order acopy, write: Dr. Donohue --No. 801, Box 536475, Orlan-do, FL 32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order (nocash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can.with the recipient's printedname and address. Please al-low four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Ihad a panel of blood and urinetests done two weeks ago.Everything was marked "nor-mal," except for ketones.What are they? -- V.S.

ANSWER: The body's mainsource of energy is carbohy-drates. When the carbohy-drate tank is low, the bodyshifts to fats for energy. Anend product of fat metabolismis ketones.

If you've missed meals, aredieting or are on a high-pro-tein diet, ketones appear inthe urine. They disappear assoon as you resume normaleating.

In diabetes, ketones signalthat the diabetic's blood sugar

is rising because there's notenough insulin to get sugarinto cells. That's somethingthat requires immediate at-tention.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:Does drinking milk increasemucus production? My moth-er believes it does. She tellsme not to give my childrenmilk if they have a cold. -- F.K.

ANSWER: Your mother isnot alone in her belief. How-ever, there isn't any evidencethat milk increases the pro-duction of mucus or thickensit.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: IfI hear another person singingthe benefits of blueberries, Iwill throw up. Don't get mewrong -- I like them; I just amtired of hearing about them.

I do have a question. Dothe health benefits ascribed toblueberries apply to frozenberries too? -- K.S.

ANSWER: Blueberriessupply both vitamin C andfiber. Those are definite plus-es.

Blueberries are powerfulantioxidants. Oxidants arebyproducts of cell chemistrythat harm body tissues andorgans. They're like rust-mak-ers on metallic products. An-tioxidants keep us from rust-ing.

I imagine that frozen blue-berries are as healthful asfresh ones.

planting of trees and brickpavers to replace sections ofsidewalk that have becomedamaged by time and rootsfrom Oak Trees.

“Most of trees along Belle-vue are Elms,” said Tim Lakeof TLake Environmental Land-scapes, who said Elms were theoriginal trees of choice alongBellevue. “Along the way some-one else came in and plantedLive Oaks. They have shallowroots that cause the sidewalk toheave.”He explained that brick

pavers would allow roots tobreath and would be easier toreset if necessary without hav-ing to completely replace sec-tions of sidewalk.The GDOT grant will pay

$399,951 for the BellevueStreetscape Project while thecity will be responsible for re-maining costs, estimated at$129,049.The second GDOT grant will

fund the Southside StreetscapeGateway Project along Hwy441 and Hwy 19. The $408,000project will include traffic sig-nal installation, streetscape en-hancements, and pedestrianamenities to the SouthsideGateway into the city.The GDOT grant will pay

$399,351 of the project costswhile the city will cover an esti-mated $8,049 in overages.“Not included in this price is

the construction of a bell towerwhich will house the city’s bi-centennial bell,” announcedCity Manager George Roussel.City Council awarded the

streetscape renovation projectsto Foskey & Sons Construction,which submitted the low bid forthe projects.Council heard from citizens

from other areas of the city re-garding improvements theywould like to see in their neigh-borhoods.Just north of where the

Southside GatewayStreetscape project will be donelies the intersection of Hwy441N/Jefferson Street andMary Street.Dr. Eyonne Pooler asked

council to consider installing alight at the intersection.“When I last spoke to you

about this area, I was informedthat when the bypass openedthe problem citizens havecrossing over Hwy 441 wouldbe rectified or improved,” she

said. “But it is still a problemout there.”Pooler said it is difficult and

dangerous, especially with mo-torists racing by, for residentsto cross the road to reach a gro-cery, restaurants and theneighborhood’s shopping area.“’I’ve gone out there and

tried to cross myself and foundit difficult,” she said. “Citizenshave to stand for long periodsof time to wait to cross. Theroad is too narrow on MaryStreet. It is difficult for two ve-hicles to pass especially withpedestrians walking by andmany children in the area. It isa very serious problem.”With Hwy 441 being a state

highway, Roussel explainedthat the state has previouslydeclined requests to install atlight at the intersection.“The problem is there is not

enough traffic on Mary Streetto justify a signal. There is oneon Moore Street and at Hill-crest. ” he explained. “GDOT isall about moving traffic on astate highway. To them, thequestion becomes how much doyou have traffic crossing theroad.”However Roussel said the

city could have engineering

teams conduct traffic countsand step up speed enforcementin the area.Also asking council for

neighborhood assistance wasSara Knight of SouthlandHealth Care Center and CoraChapman of the neighborhoodwatch program.“We have some concerns

with some properties on Sim-mons Street as far as gettingthose cleaned up or removed.There is one that is prettymuch a condemnable houseand one lot is being used tostore earth moving equipment,”said Knight.“It is zoned a business and

residential district. With 100residents in our nursing home,it has been a blessing thatthere haven’t been any acci-dents there,” she said.Councilman Phil Thacker

said he would like the city to in-spect some properties in theneighborhood including aburned house and others thathave been abandoned, boardedup and are dilapidated.“We will be happy to meet

with the neighborhood watchgroup and the nursing home totalk about your concerns,” saidRoussel.

"The local restaurants have bignights during our First Fri-days. We've talked to a coupleof them and it just gets peopleaware of what's happeningdowntown.

In the Spring of 2002, Clark Ashton (Augusta,GA),Patrick Mitchell (Navan, Ireland), & Pete Frisina (some-where in Illinois) assembled at Clark’s CommuterGallery studio in Decatur, GA to work up a set oftunes based on traditional music with acoustic instru-ments. On June 10, they played their first gig at theWild West Picture Show 10th Anniversary Party.Branching out locally they soon became regulars atBlind Willie’s in Virginia Highlands, and proceeded toexpand into neighboring states. They recorded theirdebut CD in 2004.Their 2nd disc "Other Side of Heav-en"(2007) brought the addition of drums and guestmusicians.They toured Ireland in 2008 and 2009, andMaine in 2010.The BooHoo Ramblers are now cele-brating over eight years as a working band, having en-tertained Atlanta & beyond with much more to come.In 2009, sadly, Jr. Mitchell moved back to Ireland.

Clark and Pete continue to develop the group withvarious musicians in the solo position with as many asseven members on stage at once.The BooHoo Ram-blers remain a roots-oriented group playing originaland cover tunes that blend traditional, Country, Folk,Rock, and Bluegrass styles, a.k.a., Rockin' Foot-Stomp-in'Americana.Upbeat and highly stylized versions char-acterize the interpretation of cover material. Unpre-dictable tangents, spontaneous arrangements, unlikelymedleys, and wheels-off experiments are the norm.Original songs are written by Clark who serves as theleader and spirit guide for the group. Familiar, unique,heartbreaking, and hilarious but always entertaining.From "The Green Green Grass of Home" to"Aqualung", BHR delivers a rollicking stomp throughthe genres.

Senate Panel OK’sHOPE Overhaul

Gingrich Exploring 2012 BidATLANTA (AP) — Former

House Speaker Newt Gingrichannounced Thursday he is ex-ploring a run for president andhas launched a website to col-lect donations so he can gaugesupport.The Republican stopped

short of forming an exploratorycommittee, which would havemade him a legal candidate.Instead, Gingrich, speaking

briefly with reporters in his oldhome state of Georgia, said heand his wife “will look at thisvery seriously and we will verymethodically lay out the frame-

work of what we’ll do next.”Gingrich announced the

launch of a website to acceptdonations within Federal Elec-tion Commission contributionlimits. If he decides to run, alldonations collected from thesite will have to be reported.“We are excited about ex-

ploring whether there is suffi-cient support for my potentialcandidacy for president of thisexceptional country,” Gingrichsays on the website, whichfeatures a photo of the formerGeorgia congressman and hiswife, Callista, and provides

links to social media sites.At the Georgia Capitol,

Gingrich sounded like a candi-date, noting the state’s unem-ployment rate is at a historichigh and conflict in the MiddleEast could lead to a “cata-strophic” increase in the costof oil.“We believe that America’s

best years are actually aheadof us,” Gingrich said. “We be-lieve that it is possiblethrough the right policies withthe right values to create dra-matically more jobs with dra-matically higher incomes.”

In Our Opinion

It is late into the evening– and then early morning -as I write this. I am current-ly waiting on Baby BoyButler, first son of myfriends Mathew and Lisa, toarrive. Young Mister Butlerwill be the third child born toa friend of mine this week.William Ridley Doyal wasborn to parents Dustin andLeigh late Tuesday, followedby Rayleigh Ann Walden,daughter of Jace and Ashley.I have inquired as to theforthcoming status of BabyBurton from his soon-to-beparents Neil and Elizabeth.Given they live inMississippi, they’re used tobeing an hour behind therest of my friends, but theyclaim they need 2-3 weeksbefore I’m done with thisround of baby-watch. Goodthing, because I’m now out ofMacanudos. It just doesn’tseem proper to welcome anew child into this worldwith a Swisher Sweet.There’s something very

real about sitting around ahospital waiting room priorto the delivery of a newborn.I come from a very large fam-ily, and have spent morethan my share of hospitalwaiting room time. Thereare few if any other circum-stances when you’re glad tobe there.And in talking to expec-

tant fathers, mothers, grand-parents, aunts & uncles, itreally helps put what thoseof us that participate in orfollow politics closely andregularly back into a properperspective and frame ofmind. After all, I’m the onlyone here remotely thinkingabout government. Andthat’s because I have a morn-ing deadline to write some-thing about Georgia Politics(though you’re getting mystandard Friday off-topic col-umn. Also, note that babyButler seems totally uncon-cerned with newspaperdeadlines.)There are many trigger

words and phrases a politi-cian can use that evoke vis-ceral cynicism from thejaded political class, butnone trump the justificationof “It’s for the children.” Ifyou ever hear a politician tellyou this as to why he is vot-ing for something, or why he

wants you to do something,understand this and thisalone: You are about to haveyour pocket picked or yourrights abused. “It’s for thechildren” is what a politiciansays when there is no legiti-mate justification for whathe is about to do, so a falseparadigm is set that cannotbe questioned delicately.After all, you don’t want tobe against “the children”, doyou?

But there is no room forcynicism in a labor anddelivery ward. It is, instead,a place of unlimited opti-mism for human potential.We remain a country whereregardless of circumstancesto which the child arrives,there are opportunities foradvancement, success, andthe right to self-determina-tion that are unmatched byany country in the world.Politicians should spend

more time here. It mighthelp them understand thattheir role isn’t one of usingthese new arrivals toadvance their own agendas,but to remind them of theirrole in government. They,like the rest of us, have aresponsibility to be makingthis world a better place forthe next generation. And wemust be preparing them toassume the responsibilitieswe will one day pass tothem.Babies Butler, Doyal,

Walden, and Burton arebeing born into a confusedworld. We all were. All of“the good old days” had theirunique problems, and wehave managed to matcheach of them. In the face oftoday’s issues, we mustremain optimistic and plantthe seeds of optimism firmlywithin them as well, for theywill continue to face real andunique challenges. It is ourjob to give them the toolsand skills to overcome them– and make them believethat they can. It’s what “thechildren” really need most ofall.

Dear Editor,

This is written as a special tributeto my brother, Sam Lord and hiswife, Betty. And to a very specialtime in their lives when friends andfamily took on a whole new meaning.In a steady flow for eight hours onFeb. 19, 2011, they came to theDublin Civitan Fairgrounds from allover Georgia and surrounding stateswith love, support and countlessgifts. At the end of the day, aftermost had gone, Betty and Sam wereoverwhelmed with emotion and felt agreat need to hug every single oneand say “thank you so much.” Forme, this day was the best of those"Days of Inspiration" that hasblessed our family in the last fourweeks. This is my sincere effort toexpress for Betty and Sam, myselfand our entire family, our heartfeltgratitude to one and all of the hun-dreds of great friends and family whocame that day, and countless othersfor their love and support from dayone. That day was a success by thepower of God or the power of prayer,or just the grace of God; call it whatyou choose.At Christmas, holiday season of

2010 and again on Feb. 19, 2011, thefamily of Sam Lord enjoyed days offaith, hope, love and inspiration.For some 36 years, Sam had been

the hands-on, owner-operator ofLord's Tree Service which providedhis family a comfortable livelihood.Sam's health was vital to its manage-ment and success.In August 2009, with no warning,

Sam got a body blow. He was diag-nosed with stage four colon cancer.Even while taking chemo, he keptworking. His son Rodney stepped upto the plate to help. Already experi-enced, Rodney and his dad ran thebusiness together for a few months.For a while, though, Rodney wouldcarry the load alone. By Christmas2010, Big "C" had Sam down for thecount.The holidays looked bleak. He

struggled for life as everyone prayedfor that burst of strength and spiritthat would allow him to enjoyChristmas with the family. It came. On Dec. 22, he was home from the

hospital for Christmas.Best of all, after it seemed he had

suffered a knockout blow a few daysbefore, he rose from the valley of theshadow of death to feel well enoughto really enjoy the happy holidayswith family and friends at his home.And especially the young crowd withbabies that bring so much joy to anyhome. This holiday season brought"Days of Inspiration" to family andfriends. In the new year with new vigor,

the focus on Big "C" resumed with

new faith and hope. The battle con-tinued with ups and downs.Along the way Sam's family and

friends never complained but wereall willing and wanted to help. Ourbeloved and talented niece, Venita,and her husband Charlie Smith,came up with a plan. When I firstheard this plan I knew it was a win-ner. Charlie Smith, as a young man,was a country music star on WXLIDublin—a long time ago—and coun-try music lovers never die.An all day benefit concert and

cookout fundraiser for Sam Lord wasplanned for Feb. 19 at the CivitanClub Fairgrounds, with Venita andCharlie running the show. With food,drinks, raffles, and music, the showmoved along from 11 a.m. until 9p.m. We all got a happy surprise;among the first to arrive was Samwith his customized walking caneand rocking chair. He was having agood day and stayed to the end.The entertainment was provided

by Charlie Smith and his CountryMusic Hall of Fame Sho NuffCountry Band with Bud Jones, et al.Another fabulous feature was TheTravelers Quartet, a group who hadgone to school together and startedsinging at Dudley High. These diverse country and gospel

groups lived up to their billing. Theywere good and tireless. It's no secret;good entertainers love to entertain,and that they did throughout the dayas a steady flow of people came andwent. They stayed a while to visitwhile enjoying food, music, singing,and even dancing. But best of all was the joy of fel-

lowship with friends and relativesnot often seen. They came from farand near, with sometimes four gener-ations together. It was like one largereunion of our family and manyfriends. Many came to help with mul-tiple tasks and activities organizedby Venita. They got the job done asSam sat in his rocker and greetedthem all or walked through thecrowds.Sam and all of us were inspired

that so many came. I believe I speakfor one and all; it was a remarkableday of inspiration with humanity atits best with a common goal to help afriend through tough times.Sam wrote a prayer, delivered elo-

quently by his wife Betty, which gavethanks to God and to one and allwhose generosity, love and hard workmade this a day to remember. Andwith very successful results, as wellas a day of joy and fellowship for all. This open letter is my way of say-

ing thanks again to everyone whocame and went, and those whostayed all day, with a special thanksto Charlie and all the entertainers,and Venita and her workforce who

made it look so easy. To all who came and all who gave

with no thought of reward except thejoy of giving, we are grateful thatcoming together, you made it all hap-pen. My wife Trudy and I stayed all

day and never tired of watching andlistening to cheerful greetings, goodconversation and fellowship. Just"people watching," Trudy said. Thesegreat friends and relatives and sup-porters show that they love and care.A thing of beauty is a joy forever.This was that kind of day enjoyed byall. I was inspired to report and share,

and give sincere thanks for this joy-ful and very successful event, and allthe people who made our day. Toparaphrase one of my favorite songs,“These are the dear hearts and gen-tle people who live and love inAmerica.” Great people like thesebuilt our great country and keep itstrong. And people like these are whyit will always remain the greatestnation.I'll close with Sam's prayer deliv-

ered to the noon hour crowd by Betty.Dear Lord, Thank you for allowing me to be

here today to see all my friends andfamily supporting this benefit in mybehalf. It is very humbling to see allof the effort that has been put forthfor my family and me. It has been sorevealed what God's power canaccomplish with such great thingswhen your people join hands in acommon cause. Lord, bless us alltoday, to give you the praise youdeserve for our many blessings hereon earth. These favors we ask todayin your name. Amen.Betty told me later she went home

with a heavy heart struggling to findwords to than the hundreds, whowith love and generosity, had doneso much to make Feb. 19, 2011 aspecial day they will never forgetand also those who have gonebeyond the call of duty since theirordeal began. I trust we have cap-tured the essence of our gratitude toeach and every one.

Sincerely,

Marshall R. Lord, for Sam andBetty

———Feb. 28, 2011It's nine days later with continu-

ing chemo and Sam got a positivereport. He had a good week, mostlyresting at home with visits fromfriends, and working one day scout-ing and calling on job prospects. Heand his family went to churchSunday, ending a busy week. FeelingOK.

We are really thankfulfor our new store on 441S,but we would really like tohave a post office substa-tion out that way too.

Gen. Robert E. Lee said,"It is well that war is soterrible or we would growtoo fond of it."

Kudos to Scott Thomp-son on his article aboutAbraham Lincoln. Thanksfor telling us the truthabout him.

I don't believe our presi-dent stands on the side offreedom. He is helpingpush us toward one worldorder.

If you go the speed limitanywhere in the county,you'll probably get hit inthe rear!

I'm so glad we're gettingnew businesses in Dublin.It shows a great outlookfor the county. Let's keepthis up. We need jobs!

To the car on BethsaidaRoad, if I wouldn't havehad the shoulder of theroad to ride on, we wouldhave had a head-on colli-sion. That was very dan-gerous!

To the comment thatthere will always be prob-lems in a marriage - juststay there, pray about itand make it work. It willget better.

To those parents who arebuying scratch-off lotterytickets for their underagechildren, when they growup to have gambling prob-lems, don't blame peerpressure. Just look in themirror.

Define the word entitle-ment. Social Security isnot an entitlement. Workand you pay for it.

I hope they fix WoodlandHeights Road soon. It's thesecond time it's been fixed.I hope they fix it right thistime.

I'm tired of hearingeveryone bash PresidentObama. He is a good presi-dent, he just has a lot todeal with. He's doing thebest he can. Just supporthim.

It's ridiculous that wepeople in the Evergreencommunity have to drivean average of 18-19 milesround trip to empty ourtrash. Commissioners,help us please!

We need to get back tothe Garden of Eden dietand eat what God told usto eat.

I really enjoyed the fire-works being at SouthernPines last year. It is reallyconvenient for people whohave handicaps and theycan just sit in their carsand see the great fire-works.

I just opened a bag offrozen carrots that saysthey are a product of Mexi-co. I wonder why we can'tgrow those in the UnitedStates.

I’m reallly excited aboutthe First Friday at theMarket on Madison, Mywhole family will be there!We really enjoy it.

If you don't think peopleare doing good, just ridearound the county and seethe homes people live inand the cars they drive.You should have come upwhen I did. We studied byfirelight.

DEAR ABBY: For severalyears, a group of ladies atwork have held fundraisers sothey could participate in can-cer charity walks. We have alldonated willingly, but some-one recently pointed outsomething disturbing.

Every year, this grouptravels to a different locationfor the walk, using the fundsthey have raised for the char-ity. There is a walk within dri-ving distance. The funds theyraise could be donated to thecause instead of spent onflights, hotels, meals, etc. Oneof them commented that they"might as well get somethingout of it."

Are we wrong to feel this isnot a good thing? Someonesaid we're paying for their va-cation. At this point we areconfused about the wholemess. Any comments? -- BAF-FLED IN NEW ENGLAND

DEAR BAFFLED: You'renot wrong. Any monies raisedthe way these "ladies" havedone should have been donat-ed to cancer research. Thecomment your co-workermade to you was revealing.What you have describedsounds like fraud. What thosewomen should have "gottenout of it" was the satisfaction

of knowing they were doingsomething for a worthy cause.This would not include treat-ing themselves to a group va-cation. If you continue to sup-port this effort, the check(s)should be made payable to thecharity.

DEAR AB-BY: Are thereany rules ofetiquette in-volving un-wanted guestsat funerals?While I havemany lovedones andfriends, I havealso made afew enemiesin my life. Ihave madeclear to myhusband thatI do not want"certain peo-ple" to be al-lowed to at-tend my fu-neral when I die.

I have always found it dis-tasteful when folks show upat funerals for someone theydisliked or didn't know well.It ruins it for those who reallydid love the deceased. I do notwant my enemies trying to

make themselves feel betterby showing up and pretendingthey cared.

My husband is against theidea. I made him promise thathe'd do this for me because,even though I'll be dead and

may not carethen, I do carevery muchnow.P.S. My hus-

band wants toknow how onewould keeppeople awayfrom a funeralin the firstplace. --PLANNIN'AHEAD INSODDY-DAISY, TENN.DEAR

PLANNIN':Let's hold agood thoughtthat you'll bearound for along, long time

and outlive your enemies.However, if that doesn't hap-pen, a way to ensure that onlythose you want to attend yourfuneral will be there is tomake it "invitation only." Andwhen your death is an-nounced in the newspaper, it

should be stated that the ser-vice will be private.

DEAR ABBY: I have beenseeing the same gynecologistfor eight years. I trust herwith my health and my priva-cy. She recently moved to anew practice and I would liketo follow her. My problem isthe wife of one of my co-work-ers is an employee in the newoffice, and I'm worried thatpatient confidentiality maynot extend to "pillow talk."How do I handle this delicatesituation? -- VALUES MYPRIVACY IN SOUTH CAR-OLINA

DEAR VALUES: Handle itby having a frank talk withyour gynecologist, explainingthat one of your co-workers ismarried to an employee in thenew office, and asking herhow she plans to guaranteeyour privacy. Explain that youwould like to remain her pa-tient, but that this has raiseda red flag for you.

Charity Fundraisers May BeWalking Away With Donations

VIENNA (AP) — If oneAustrian’s quirky idea catch-es on, wine tastings couldsoon sound like this: Is thatsome Mozart in my glass? Ahint of Haydn, maybe?

Convinced that music is akey ingredient for a good bot-tle of red or white, MarkusBachmann has invented aspecial speaker that exposesfermenting grape juice toclassical, jazz or electronictunes. The sound waves, heclaims, positively influencethe maturing process andproduce a better tasting wine.

The eyebrow-raising tech-nique is the latest in a slew ofweird ways to make wine,some of which also have amelodic touch.

Take Portuguese wineryJose Maria da Fonseca thatplays classical music in itscentury old Adega da Matabarrel hall where it ages itswell-known Periquita labelwines. Or French companyHenri Maire that has sentthousands of bottles of redwine sailing around the worldin ships to be jostled bywaves. Then there’s AustrianRainer Christ, who swears byfull moon grape harvesting,saying it makes his winemore complex and gives it alonger shelf life.

Scientists scoff at suchmethods, calling them at bestharmless, at worst cynicalmarketing ploys.

Werner Gruber, a Univer-sity of Vienna physicist andmember of a group known asthe Science Busters, whichaims to debunk false scientif-ic claims, rejected Bach-mann’s idea as “rubbish.”

“Yeast, fungi, don’t haveopinions,” Gruber said. “Theyreally don’t care if AC/DC,Madonna or Mozart is playedto them.”

Bachmann is undeterredby such criticism, insistinghis invention will be the nextbig thing in winemaking.

But the 44-year-old whomanaged bars and restau-rants for about a decade andalso worked for an air condi-tioning company, is highlyprotective of his sound-infus-ing gadget, refusing to havethe small, baby blue UFO-shaped object filmed or pho-tographed.

He jokingly calls it a“swimming saucer” and onlydivulges this much: it weighs1.4 kilograms and is inserteddirectly into the fermentinggrape juice to stimulate theyeast.

“The wines get more fruity,they get mature earlier,” theformer french horn playersaid in a recent interview. “Allthe tastes, flavors stand alonemuch better.”

Bachmann theorizes thatthe sound waves emanatingfrom his speaker move yeastparticles around and, amongother things, cause them toeat up greater amounts ofsugar, resulting in a wine thathas a lower overall sugar con-tent.

“There’s an absolute scien-tific basis for it,” Bachmannsaid.

Florian Bauer, professor ofwine biotechnology at SouthAfrica’s Stellenbosch Univer-sity, said sound waves, includ-ing ultrasounds, have an im-pact on molecules in liquids orsolids and that may acceleratechemical processes. But hesaid he’s not aware of any es-

tablished science that musicmakes wine better.

“Will it improve wine? Asalways with wine, sometimes,possibly yes, mostly, probablynot,” Bauer said.

Bachmann has teamed upwith six Austrian wine grow-ers and an initial 31,000 litersof so-called Sonor Wines,priced at about 19 to 25 euros($26 to $34), will go on salesoon. They include a 2010pinot blanc infused withMozart’s 41st Symphony anda 2010 zweigelt exposed to aselection of arias.

Franz-Michael Mayer, awinemaker who works withBachmann, played a samplingof waltzes and polkas per-formed by the renowned Vien-na Philharmonic Orchestrainto his semillon wine forabout three weeks.

“I get the sense it tastesdifferent, good,” the soft spo-ken Mayer said as he relisheda sip of the golden liquid in acenturies-old wine cellar. “I’mso convinced that I’m ready tocontinue next year.”

Other wine growers, suchas Christ, aren’t interested fornow but open to seeing howthe idea develops.

“I think it needs to belooked into for another fewyears, maybe also backed upmore scientifically, but it’sdefinitely an exciting projectthat one should stick with,”said the 35-year-old, whofaced skepticism of his ownwhen he first began his fullmoon grape harvest morethan a decade ago.

“Time will tell if there’s re-ally something to it,” he saidof Bachmann’s idea. “If itturns out not to have a lastingpositive effect, at least it wasa nice try.”

Some drink producers havebeen using music for a while.

Hector Vasquez of the Mex-ican Los Danzantes distillerymakes mezcal — an alcoholicdrink made from magueyplants — to both classical andfolkloric tunes. He says hecan’t be sure any of it works,but is confident it doesn’t doany harm.

“I can’t promise that thismethod, that these beliefs,work but we’re turning it intoa good method and I’m surethat in the three years wehave been doing it, it hasn’thurt the fermentationprocess,” said Vasquez,adding his personal favoritesare compositions by Schubert,Chopin and sometime Rach-maninoff.

Then there’s South Africa’sDeMorgenzon winery thatplays Baroque music 24 hoursa day to its vines and winesthrough speakers that arestrategically placed in itsvineyard and cellar.

Regardless of who’s right,the notion appealed to cou-ples enjoying the sun on a re-cent afternoon in Grinzing, aquaint neighborhood knownfor its wine inns on thefringes of the Austrian capi-tal.

“Why not?” asked MassimoMontorfano, visiting from theItalian city of Milan and whosays he’s heard of a winemak-er in his homeland’s Venetoregion who ages wine by stor-ing it under water in a la-goon.

“Where can I try it?”echoed Ernst Knauer, a con-fectioner. “As a Viennese, I’mopen to all wines!”

Austrian Claims MusicMakes Wine Better

PROSPER, Texas (AP) —As the weather warms andthe brown landscape turnsgreen, Stephanie Weyenberg’sthoughts turn to planting forher family’s early spring gar-den.

Gardening is more thanjust a hobby: She and her hus-band, Matt, grow most of thefruit and vegetables they eat.

They also rely on a halfdozen chickens roaming theirbackyard, for eggs and to en-tertain their kids, ages 11, 9and 6. The family gets beef,chicken and raw milk fromfarms.

“At some point it snow-balled into, ‘Oh wow, nowwe’re grinding our own wheatand have a garden and try toeat from that,” said Weyen-berg, 37, who home-schoolsher children.

Inspired to turn away fromprocessed foods after theirtwo younger children hadstomach troubles, the Weyen-bergs started with smallchanges. Those led to a moveabout three years ago from abig house with a tiny yard to asmaller home on an acre lotfarther out in the countryside,in Prosper, about 45 milesnorth of Dallas.

Matt Weyenberg, a doctorat a family medical practicecalled Village Health Partnersin Plano, said his family’s ex-periences serve as a way forhim to talk to patients abouthealthy eating. He said he’lltell them: “You don’t have togo crazy like we are at myhouse and grind your ownwheat and have chickens anda big garden, but try to eatless processed foods, try to getmore organic food, locallygrown, whole grains, andfruits and vegetables.”

“There’s hardly a day goesby that I don’t — all of us —don’t see patients who couldliterally get off several of theirmedications potentially ifthey just ate better,” saidMatt Weyenberg, 36. “Somepeople are very receptive tothat. Of course some peoplearen’t: They don’t feel likethey are at a place where theycan.”

The Weyenbergs mighthave taken gardening a stepfurther than many, but agrowing number of Americanhouseholds are doing somevegetable gardening, accord-ing to the National GardeningAssociation — up from about27 million households in 2005to about 31 million house-holds last year. The nonprofitgroup said the main reasonsare to have better-tasting andhigher quality food, and tosave money on groceries.

That might involve justputting some tomato plantsout on a city patio, or it mightbe as involved as what theWeyenbergs are doing, saidSusan Littlefield, horticulture

editor for the gardening asso-ciation.

Brett L. Markham, authorof “Mini Farming: Self-Suffi-ciency on 1/4 Acre” (Skyhorse,2010), said he raises chickensand has fruit trees and a gar-den, producing about 80 per-cent of the food his familyeats. They began backyardfarming on a half-acre lot inNew Ipswich, N.H., after de-veloping an interest in organ-ic foods about eight years ago.

“I do have a sense that mysituation is becoming less andless unique. A lot of people aretrying to grow something, nomatter how small,” Markhamsaid.

He said that often peoplewho contact him say they de-veloped an interest in back-yard farming because of eco-nomic concerns, but other rea-sons include wanting to feel aconnection to the soil.

“It’s a lot easier than peo-ple think it is,” he said. “Peo-ple look at the stuff involvedand initially they get intimi-dated. You can build into hav-ing full self-sufficiency.”

The Weyenbergs occasion-ally supplement their gardenby buying from farmer’s mar-kets, Stephanie said.

And they still make the oc-casional trip to the grocerystore, estimating they getabout 25 percent of their foodthere. For instance, Stephaniesaid, when they make tortillasoup, they pick up chips andsour cream from the store.And every now and then, theyget some ice cream as well.

“I don’t want it to ever beso ‘rule our lives’ that my kidshave no idea what chips tastelike: the forbidden fruit thatthey’re going to run right outand gorge on,” she said.

Both Weyenbergs said thekey is making the changesone step at a time.

“The way that we’re livingnow seems so extreme, and Inever in a million years wouldhave imagined us being here,”said Stephanie.

For her early spring gar-den this year, Weyenberg isplanning spinach, lettuce andbeets. Throughout the year,she also grows onions, a cou-ple varieties of beans, toma-toes, squash, blackberries andSwiss chard.

That’s besides the fruittrees bearing apples, plums,pears and peaches, and theherb garden that includesbasil, thyme and sage.

The backyard operation is-n’t as time consuming as itmight seem, she said. Thechickens, for instance, arehardly any work, and also eatbugs and fertilize the yard. Anautomated irrigation systemsaves a lot of time. And afterseveral hours of work at thebeginning of the season toclean and plant the beds,Weyenberg estimates that she

probably only spends about anhour a week in the garden.

“Once it’s in, it’s not thatmuch,” she said.

The Weyenbergs said thewhole family has noticed howmuch better they feel withtheir new diet. And when theystray, they can tell the differ-

ence. A recent stop for shakesat a fast food restaurant, forinstance, gave them all stom-achaches.

“I truly can say I have kidswho would choose a sandwichor a salad over a hamburgerpretty much any day,”Stephanie Weyenberg said.

Family Gets Most Of Its Food In The Backyard

JonesReturnsTo ThirdKISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) —

For Chipper Jones, it was allrather routine. And for him,that was a good thing.Jones played third base for

the first time since injuring hisknee last August, and theperennial All-Star was flawlessin the field Thursday as theAtlanta Braves beat theDetroit Tigers 4-3.Jones handled a grounder

by Magglio Ordonez and threwhim out, and also caught apopup in four innings.“I just want to play,” Jones

said. “Once you get on the fieldinstinct takes over. That’swhat you need to worry about.I wasn’t expecting to be play-ing by now and I don’t knowwhat to expect.”Jones tore his left knee

while making a play againstHouston and missed theBraves’ playoff run. Whilesome people thought he mightbe finished, Jones vowed hewould do all the hard rehabili-tation work needed to playagain.Jones opened this spring as

a designated hitter, butreturned to his familiar spotagainst the Tigers.Jones also singled and

scored a run on a single byFreddie Freeman before leav-ing early, as regulars usuallydo in spring training.In Sunday’s win over the

New York Mets, Jones barreledinto second base to break up adouble play.“As soon as I slid I was just

hoping I could get back up,”Jones said this week.

been able to replace the strik-er, and we’re replacing thedefensive players slowly butsurely.”

The East Laurens girls are1-3 on the season as they try toimprove on last year’s 5-13record.

Sixth-year coach Brad Lordsaid the roster is a true mix ofyouth and experience. Severalplayers have been in the pro-gram for three and four yearsnow, but some have spent very

little time playing soccer.“I think it would be safe to

say over half the team is new,”Lord said. “We had girls on thefield who hadn’t kicked a soc-cer ball until the ninth grade,who are in the ninth grade.”

The Lady Falcons won theirseason opener 11-1 overEmanuel County Institute.Since then, they have fallen toDublin, Screven County andDodge County.

Lord said that this year’steam was ahead of last year’sin the preseason.

“I see it in the juniors andseniors,” he said. “The girlsthat I have now enough of anunderstanding of the gamethat they’re really being rolemodels to the younger players.That’s something new.”

East Laurens’ next homegames will be March 10against Laney. The Falcons arehosting games at SouthernPines this season while FalconField is being resodded.

“It’s kind of awkward for us,but we’re working through it,”Senn said.

LevinLeadsHondaClassic

PALM BEACH GAR-DENS, Fla. (AP) — SpencerLevin would have needed a 9-iron to reach the decorativefountains in the lake near the18th fairway, and yet as hewalked toward the green hecould feel their mist.

It was that windyThursday at the HondaClassic. Pins rattled, puttersshook and scores soared asthe PGA Tour began its annu-al Florida swing in breezesblustery rather than balmy.

Levin handled the condi-tions best, shooting a 3-under67 for a 1-shot lead over fiveothers. The first round wassuspended because of dark-ness with 12 players still onthe course.

Even by the standards ofthe Sunshine State, wherewind is par for the course, thegusts of more than 20 mph atPGA National were unusual.

“It’s a different kind ofgolf,” said Levin, who is seek-ing his first tour title. “Youget in a par mode, really,where you just have to takewhat the course gives you.”

The West Laurens MiddleSchool baseball team usedexcellent pitching to beatBleckley County 9-3 in MiddleGeorgia Middle SchoolAthletic Association actionThursday.

Gary Clark had 15 points,Travis McKie 11 and C.J. Harris

Already assured of its worstrecord since 1985-86 — going 8-21 in then-head coach BobStaak’s first season — the

Demon Deacons also postedtheir worst ACC record since1986-87 (2-12).

With two of the league’sworst teams on the court —Georgia Tech’s RPI was 182ndcoming in, Wake Forest’s 246th— both sides had their problemsThursday.
