“The mangoes are falling,” chanted a chorus of excited

young schoolkids in Haitian Creole while I navi-gated a rocky, muddy path in Haiti recently as a program volunteer with global health organization Medical Teams International (www.medicalteams.org). Sure enough, within seconds, a large, rosy-red and orange mango from a canopy of trees overhead landed with a thud right next to me.

I quickly learned the kids’ way of biting into the outer skin (after I washed it), removing it with my fingers and then devouring the fruit slurp by slurp, first one half and then the other. There’s nothing quite as delicious as a tree-ripened mango.

Now in season, beautiful vitamin- and mineral-rich mangoes are available at our local stores at reasonable prices. At snack time, remove the peel with a sharp knife and serve your kids long slices or chunks on a plate. Add other tropical fruits such

as pineapple and papaya for addi-tional authentic tastes of the Caribbean.

For a high-light at your next barbecue, dice a mango and toss togeth-er with easy-to-find summer ingredients for this fresh and tangy mango salsa. It’s deli-

cious as an accompaniment to grilled chicken breasts or fish such as halibut and salmon. Serve it as a side, or spoon it on top of the chicken and fish. It’s yummy with grilled shrimp, too.

Slurp and Savor Tasty Mango Salsa FRESH AND TANGY MANGO SALSA

The Internal Revenue Service began warning in 2007 that fake emails were being sent out that appeared to have come from the IRS. Those emails have gone through various incarnations over the years. Some claimed that the email recipient was under investigation by the criminal division. An-other claimed the recipient could receive money for filling out a customer satisfaction survey. Another version was a “Where’s My Refund” email.

The IRS scam must be lucrative, because it’s still going on. A new incarnation involves sending a refund to the recipient.

All versions of the scams have one thing in com-mon: They want your personal information.

The IRS has set up web pages designed to handle phishing, which is an attempt to get your personal

information. They say, in bold letters: “The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email or any social media tools to request personal or financial information.”

That’s key to remember, not only if you receive email that appears to be from the IRS, but email from anywhere. If you haven’t given out your email address to the IRS, a bank, retail stores or online stores, you won’t receive email from them ... unless it’s fake.

If you receive email from, say, an online store, don’t open it. If you open it, don’t download any attachment because it likely contains a virus. Don’t click on any links because they’ll take you to sites that will either download a virus onto your com-puter or solicit your personal information.

Even if a link looks genuine, as did the one in the IRS letter above, be suspicious. (The link in the IRS letter went to Russia.) Mouse over the link and

hold the cursor above it. Depending on your email software, it’s possible that the real email address will show up.

Become familiar with domain name exten-sions. Dot com (.com) is a common one around the world. But countries have designations as well. The hidden address in the IRS letter was “.ru” -- Russia. Other countries known for a proliferation of scammers are: Nigeria (.ng), Philippines (.ph) and Ghana (.gh).

For more information, go to the IRS site at irs.gov and put “phishing” in the search box. You’ll get 187 files on that topic.

Q: I have some nice pieces of vintage jewelry, and I would like to determine how much they are worth. -- Susan, Dubuque, Iowa

A: Since gold has risen dramatically in value in re-cent years, most jewelry price guides are out-of-date. With that said, there are two that will give you a gen-eral idea of the current retail marketplace. Warman’s Vintage Jewelry: Identification and Price Guide by Leigh Leshner (Krause, $24.99) features more than 1,000 pieces of white metal and rhinestone jewelry with pricing and collector information. Especially helpful is the section about the different settings and metals and history of rhinestones, including their cuts and shapes.

A second, more basic book is Antique Trader Jewelry Price Guide by Kyle Husfloen (Krause, $21.99). It has more than 2,000 detailed listings arranged in alpha-betical format by item name. These two books, both available at www.amazon.com, should get you started. Don’t forget established jewelry dealers in your city. Most are quite knowledgeable and helpful.

• • •Q: I have three books: “Readers Digest Fun Time,”

published in 1949; “Fun with the Guitar” by Mel Bay (1958); and “Avant Garde,” a monthly publication. Any value to a collector? -- Delores, Sun City West, Ariz.

A: No, no and maybe. Your first two titles would be of no interest to a book collector. The “Avant Garde” magazine was mostly notable because of the graphic designs of Herb Lubalin. The first issue was published in January of 1968 and 13 editions followed. I found more than 150 Avant Garde magazines posted on eBay, most with no bids or selling in the $10 to $15 range. As with most collectibles, there are always exceptions.

• • •Q: I have a James Hoffa wristwatch and a Team-

sters belt bucket. Could you tell me how much they are worth? -- Dee, Godfrey, Ill.

A: I contacted a Hoffa collector who said the watch was probably worth about $50 and the buckle somewhat less. Apparently, the Teamsters issued several buckle designs, and the value would depend on which one you have. My expert is no longer adding to his collection and suggests that to sell your items, you should post them on eBay.

• On Aug. 3, 1861, the last entry of Charles Dickens' serialized novel "Great Expectations" is published. Dickens' father was thrown in debtors' prison in 1824, and 12-year-old Charles was sent to work in a factory. The miserable treatment of children and the institution of the debtors' jail became topics of several of Dickens' novels.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My 12-year-old son is something of a phenomenon when it comes to baseball, and he loves playing the game. I haven’t pushed him into it. He’s a particularly awesome pitcher, and his coaches are amazed at what he can do.

I practice with him every day. He now has a sore elbow in his pitching arm. I think it might be Little League elbow. My wife blames me, because, she says, I overwork him. I need some guidelines on how much throwing is too much. Thanks. -- R.C.

ANSWER: The elbow is a site that’s a poten-tial calamity for the immature skeleton. Children have vulnerable spots in their bones called growth plates. These bone parts haven’t yet become bone. They permit elongation of bones. One of those sites is the elbow.

To make sure we’re talking about the same thing, let the boy’s throwing arm hang down with his palm facing forward. Feel the area of the elbow next to the body. That’s where Little League elbow makes itself known.

It’s an overuse injury, meaning the boy is throwing too many pitches with too little rest. The incidence of elbow pain in young baseball players is quite high -- 20 percent to 40 percent. It can be avoided with a sensible program that limits the number of throws per day.

First, your son should not throw until the pain leaves. Then he can resume throwing, but gradu-ally do so. Eventually he can work up to the Little League’s standards for pitching for 12-year-olds. If a boy or girl of this age throws 66 pitches in one game, the child needs four days of rest -- no throwing; if it’s 51 to 65 pitches, three days of rest are required; 30 to 50 pitches, two rest days; 21 to 35 pitches, one rest day. In practice, he should be limited to 20 pitches if he throws daily. It he throws more, he should follow the schedule for

the number of pitches thrown in a game.If your boy’s pain lasts a week, have the family

doctor examine him. If he really has Little League elbow, healing can take six to 12 weeks.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Will you kindly tell me

what is the appropriate time interval for a repeat colonoscopy? I have different information from doc-tors. I had my first colonoscopy when I was 51. The doctor who performed it said I didn’t need another until I was 61. A different doctor says I need a repeat at 56. Which is it? -- E.P.

ANSWER: If no polyps were found on your first exam and if you have no close relatives who have had colon cancer, then the usual time for the next exam is 10 years. Otherwise, it is five years.

The booklet on colon cancer explains its detection and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 505W, 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 al-low four weeks for delivery.

The hope of Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart to repeat is very much alive.

Stewart, 41, is in excellent position. His victory in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway was his

third of the season. He ranks fifth in the point standings, but once the Chase begins on Sept. 16, that ranking won't matter as long as Stewart remains in the top 10. At the beginning of the Chase, which consists of the season's final 10 races, bonus points are allotted on the basis of victories. At the moment, Stewart and Brad Keselowski are tied with three.

Keselowski's hold on the top 10 is more tenuous. He ranks ninth. The three victories almost surely will put him in the Chase, but if Keselowski has to rely on one of the two wild-card slots, he won't get the bonus points.

In other words, Stewart is looking great.

"Everybody has a shot to win these things (meaning re-strictor-plate races at Daytona) and to run in the top five when they get here," Stew-art said. "It's just a matter of getting that luck on your side and

being at the right place at the right time and having that opportunity."

Will Stewart be an intimidating pres-ence in the Chase? Oh, yeah. A year ago he won half the 10 races. He'll be the shark in the bay when NASCAR's championship process commences.

In Daytona Beach, Stewart posted the second-best qualifying speed, but it was disallowed when inspection revealed an air hose that had allegedly come loose during the run. As a result, Stewart started 42nd in a 43-car field. Halfway through the race, he was running 30th, more than a half lap behind. A caution flag allowed him to catch up when the field bunched up for the next restart.

The rest, as they say, is history. Given a reprieve from the specter of being lapped, Stewart raced to the front, and it was a good thing. In the final 10 laps, two huge crashes occurred.

"The great thing about it," Stewart said, "is that 43 cars all have the same shot at winning the race.

"But that's also part of what makes it frustrating."• • •

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I read on an Internet forum that lavender can help calm nervous and hyperactive dogs. Is this the case? I know that some plants are toxic to pets. -- Jenna C., Los Angeles

DEAR JENNA: Lavender, or the scent of lavender, has been touted as a natural way to help calm down dogs. Experts advocating natural treatments recommend placing a few drops of the essential oil on a cloth, a favorite blanket or a cotton ball and placing it near the dog. (Make sure your dog doesn't ingest it.) I've seen recommendations to place the essential oil directly on a dog's coat, but this can cause skin irritation, so you should avoid that.

For cats, however, lavender is a more dangerous proposition. Ingesting the essential oil or accidentally getting it on their skin can cause stomach upset and, in larger doses, liver toxicity.

It's true that some plants, including herbs, are dangerous for both dogs and cats. Lily plants should not be in a house with cats, as they are very poisonous. Eucalyptus plants and essential oil should be kept away from pets; the plant leaves can cause vomiting if ingested, and the oil can make cats quite ill.

A list of plants that are poisonous for cats and dogs can be found at earthclinic.com. Before bringing a new plant into the house or before apply-ing an herbal or aroma-therapy remedy to your pet, do your homework to make sure it's not toxic. Your veterinarian also can provide expert advice on herbs and plants to avoid.

Send your questions or comments to [email protected], or write to Paw's Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and infor-mation, visit www.pawscorner.com.

• It was German-American painter and lithographer Herm Albright who made the following sage observation: "A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

• It's well-known that there were shortages of many items during World War II -- and caffeine was one. It was such a problem, in fact, that the chemists at Coca-Cola tried to find a substitute, even experimenting with a derivative of bat guano. The idea was nixed by an executive who was afraid of the public backlash if the truth ever came out.

• Just as a group of birds is called a flock, a group of frogs is called an army.

• Ever wonder why a barber pole has red and white stripes? It's a rather grisly tale. At one time barbers did more than cut hair; they sometimes performed marriages and baptisms, served as dentists and even performed surgery. When engaged in the medical work, any excess blood was soaked up by white towels, which were often hung up on a pole outside to dry. As the wind wrapped the towel around the pole, it created a design of red and white stripes.

• The 1982 film "Gandhi," which was awarded eight Oscars, including the one for best picture, used a whopping 300,000 extras.

• Toilet paper was first introduced in the United States in 1857, but the idea didn't take off -- the paper being offered was evidently too much like the paper in the Sears catalog, which is what most people used at the time.
