Overheard on the Internet TICK TALK A fellow mushroom hunter recently forwarded an email to me about “getting out wood ticks”. It involved using a glob of liquid soap on a cotton ball and smothering the little critter for 20 seconds after which it would yield its grip, panting and gasping, and come back in the cotton ball. Sounded good to me, but not to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to them, old-school methods such as burning or smothering are not recommended. Here’s what the CDC recommends: 10 FATHER’S DAY SUGGESTIONS FOR UNDER $20 y grilling accessories (spatula, fork, tongs) y flashlight (floatable, if he’s a fisherman) y chocolate-covered coffee beans y Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader y favorite team hat y fishing lures y golf balls y car caddy y six pack of micro-brew beer y Amana steaks or chops 1. Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. 2. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don’t twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal. 3. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Pure corn “Where is everybody?” the cowpoke asked. “They’ve all gone to see Brown Paper Pete hang,” said a bystander. “Why do they call him that?” the cowboy asked. “Well, he always wears a brown paper hat, a brown paper shirt, and brown paper trousers.” “Really?” said the cowboy. “And what are they hanging him for?” “Rustling.” – Contributed by K.O.

When I moved from Wisconsin to Iowa in 1982, some new friends introduced me to the bakeries and country stores scattered between Independence and Fairbank. I was totally lost on the gravel roads… and I didn’t mind it a bit. Each stop brought me home to the smells of childhood summers: cinnamon rolls, wood smoke, country air and road apples. Thirty years later I’m not so lost, and still look forward to each daytrip to the Country Marketplace. It’s a great family outing, girls’ day out or mini-vacation for two. With restaurants, motels and campgrounds accessible it’s a delicious break from the routine without breaking the bank.
