Tips to selling your homeBy David Uffington

Many potential sellers are sitting outthe real-estate market and waiting forprices to rise again. But if you need tosell now, there are ways to get the mostmoney for your home.

First, don't try to sell it yourself. Anagent or broker will have tools that aren'tavailable to you: Multiple ListingService, contacts with other agents,knowledge of the area, pricing compar-isons (known as "comps") and more.

At the same time, you'll need a savvyagent, and it's up to you to ask questionsbefore you sign with one. The little thingscan add up: Will the agent hold an openhouse? Will the agent put your house onthe weekly "caravan" where other agentstour your property? Will potential buyersbe financially pre-screened? Does theagent have contacts with mortgagelenders to be able to link up with pre-approved buyers who are just beginningto look? What is the marketing plan foryour property? On which online sites willyour home be listed?

There are some steps you can take tohave your house looking its best. Here aresome recommendations:

•Have a home inspection done inadvance so there are no surprises duringnegotiations with a buyer. Either havethose things fixed or be prepared to take alower price. As a general rule, a buyer

wants a place to move into, not move intoand fix.

•De-clutter. Throw out or store else-where items that make your home looksmaller than it is. Take personal photosoff the wall. Clear out closets so it lookslike there's plenty of space. (If you're notsure if you've de-cluttered enough, takephotos and study them. That's how thespace will look in sale flyers. If there isstill too much stuff, move it out.) Ask afriend for an unbiased opinion.

•Clean. If necessary, hire a profession-al service to clean floors and appliances.

•Paint. A neutral color is more pleas-ing to a wider number of potential buyers.

•Have the yard manicured and keep itmowed and trimmed at all times. Investin pots of colorful flowers.

•Make sure there are enough lamps ineach room to make the space seem brightand open. Leave open the drapes for morenatural light when the house is beingshown.

Finally, don't make any expensivechanges unless your agent suggests itmight be necessary.

Confusion after hospital stayBy Matilda Charles

Anyone who's been in the hospital canremember the feeling of unreality thatcomes from the noises and sleep interrup-tions in that environment, not to mentionfeeling unwell. And going home doesn'tautomatically make everything fine again:Many seniors experience loss of memory,confusion and cognitive problems whenthey're discharged from the hospital.

The National Institute of Aging com-missioned a study on this phenomenon,and it was completed by theNorthwestern University Feinberg Schoolof Medicine.

Two hundred seniors age 70-plus whohad no previous cognitive or dementiaissues were given a Mini-Mental StatusExamination upon release from the hospi-tal. This 30-question test only takes a fewminutes to administer, and checks forthings such as orientation to time andplace, calculation, attention and recall.The patient is asked to repeat threewords, tell time, know the day of theweek, spell a word backward and copy afigure with pencil and paper.

Nearly one-third of those seniorpatients being released from the hospitalhad low cognition scores. This means thatseniors coming out of the hospital mightnot understand the instructions they'regiven for medications and self-care.

Tested again one month later, theirscores had risen considerably for thingslike reading, writing, calculations and

comprehension.One conclusion of the study was that

"patient self-management" training --teaching the patient about his or her med-ications and care -- should be handledlater rather than at the time the patient isbeing sent home. Another conclusion wasthat doctors and family (and I'd add"friends") need to step up, be aware ofthe phenomenon and give assistance -- orat least arrange for it.

Here’s a few tipsTo keep the kitchen garbage can from

smelling, put meat, vegetables, fruit andpeelings in a bread bag, and put it in thefreezer until you take it outside for thegarbage collector.

Keep fast-food coupons in your car'sglove compartment. They will be there ifyou need to drive through, and will behandy for picking up dinner on the wayhome.

Poison prevention for your pet up to you

Try these tips to help eliminate pet hair

By Craig W. ArmstrongThey fill our lives with joy and ask little in return. They are

there when we come home at night and they will always listen ifwe've had a bad day. Some of them protect us, some of themcalm us and some of them entertain us. They are our pets, andlike other members of our family, their safety is a concern.Unless you've had a pet that has gotten into something theyshouldn't have, you probably don't think about the dangers thatexist in your home.

Most animals, by nature, are curious and it seems that theyare also willing to eat just about anything. For this reason, petowners need to safeguard their pets' surroundings. As with chil-dren, it is very important to keep medication and other potential-ly hazardous products away from pets and locked up. Considerthe cleaning products you use. A bucket of cleaner, left unat-tended while you answer the phone, might not appeal to a tod-dler, but to Fido, a drink out of the bucket might seem like apretty good idea. It's also important to clean up thoroughly afterusing these products. Make sure any spills are wiped up andrags are either stored or disposed.

Things like cleaning or car care products seem like a "nobrainer" when it comes to poison prevention, but what abouteveryday items? A pack of cigarettes, children's toys, includingclay or other art supplies, potpourri or scented candles-these allseem harmless, but when they are ingested by a pet, they are

potentially fatal. Some pets would never think about trying toeat these things, but some, mainly dogs, will eat just about any-thing. Know your pet; will leaving these things where they canget to them be a problem? If so, you need to think like your petand be one step ahead of them. Put all of those enticing thingsout of the pooch's reach.

OK, so you keep the antifreeze locked up and the scentedcandles out of reach, but what about that freshly baked turkey?Yes, even certain foods can be poisonous to your pet. Again, ifyou know your pet, you probably already guard your dinnerplate. But thinking of food as dangerous is not something that'ssecond nature. Most of us have heard how chocolate can be dan-gerous to dogs. This is true. Chocolate contains Theobromine,an alkaloid that dogs can't metabolize very quickly. If a dog eatsa large amount of chocolate, the Theobromine can build up totoxic levels and cause cardiac arrest. Even if a pet gets into foodand it's not poisonous to them, they may eat until they makethemselves sick.

Just like with humans, there is an animal poison control cen-ter. This resource is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.The number is 1-888-426-4435. Keep in mind that a $60 consul-tation fee may be charged to your credit card.

Keeping pets safe is a matter of prevention. Know what ishazardous to them, know what to do if they come in contactwith poison and most of all, know your pet.

Groom your pets. Bathe them regularly and brush them daily.This will remove a lot of the loose hair. If you have cats, considerinstalling a corner comb, which they can rub up against to groomthemselves. For pets that shed terribly, try having their coatsclipped shorter and using shedding treatments. Should you get anew pet, consider getting one that does not shed as much or ishairless.

Teach your pets to stay off the furniture. Give them their ownbeds and blankets to lie on and insist that they use them. If thisdoes not work, coat your furniture with fabric spray or slipcoverit. The spray will help repel pet hair, while the slipcovers will pre-vent the hair from getting into your furniture. You can wash thesemore easily than you can your furniture. Should you ever need tobuy new furniture, consider vinyl, leather and other fabrics thatyou can wipe hair from easily.

Sweep through your house each day with tools geared towardpicking up loose pet hair. Lint brushes and rollers are ideal. Youmay also use dryer sheets or masking tape, with the sticky sidewound around your palm. Just slide it over areas to pick the hair.

For electronics, a can of compressed air will do wonders for dis-lodging the hair and making it easier to pick up.

When you have pets, vacuuming is a must. Depending uponthe amount of pet hair floating around your house, you may needto vacuum your furniture and floors weekly, if not daily. Makesure you use a vacuum cleaner with a lot of suction power andtake advantage of the attachments to get into tight spaces. Toensure maximum pickup, run a damp rag over surfaces covered inpet hair. This will ball up the hair and make it easier for the vacu-um cleaner to pick up. You might also want to run a carpet rakethrough your rugs and carpet. This will loosen any hair woundaround the carpet fibers and make it easier for the vacuum cleanerto pick up.

For deeper cleaning, steam clean your rugs and carpet a coupletimes a year. This will remove a lot of the pet hair that may betrapped in the fibers. If you apply a stain repellant to the rugs andcarpet, the pet hair will be easier to pick up from then on.

Keeping pet hair to a minimum takes a bit of work, but it iswell worth the effort.

Step right up!People look forward to the return of them

every year, not just for the games and rides, butfor the corn dogs, cotton candy, elephant ears,shakeups and more. They're carnivals, and foryears, carnies, or the people who ran them, spokea language all of their own.

The word "carny" is thought to have developedsometime around 1931as a term for a carnivalemployee. Although it is no longer the case today,carnies once spoke a language all of their own, allow-ing them to engage with each other in secret as theywent about their jobs.

Interested in learning some carny talk? Here is abrief list of terms and their meanings.

•Bone yard, place where carnies stay when they arenot working

•Circus jump, the act of tearing down, driving to, set-ting up and working a carnival the next day

•Donniker, the bathroom•Greenies, new but temporary help•The Kitty, funds for supplies for carnival employees•Larry, defective•Lot, the site of carnival rides and booths; also called the Midway•Plush, stuffed animal prizes•Ride jock, ride operators•Rousty or roustabout, an employee who sets up rides and pitches concessions•Slough, to tear down a booth•Spinning Jenny, a carousel•Spring, to open the carnival•Stock, game prizes•Sugar snack, a concession standCarnies had a whole vocabulary to describe the goings-on at their booths. In order to

lure passers-by to their booths, or joints as they were called, agents would call out tothem. If that didn't work, they might set up a bally or a free performance. They mightalso employ a shill, that is, another carnival employee who would show how easy it wasto win the game or go around boasting about how easily they had won the game andcarry a big plush as proof.

Generally, there were two types of players: inexperienced marks, or mooches, whowould spend every cent they had to win a game and experienced sharpies who could spota scam from a mile and knew how to win a game. Agents liked marks the best and wouldindicate their status to other agents with a chalky pat on the shoulder. They might alsopeek the poke or check out how much money the mark was carrying in their wallet.Butchers would try to take every penny from the mark, confusing them often during thegame and forcing them to pay up at every opportunity.

Getting passers-by to play the game was half the battle. Ensuring they didn't win wasthe other. Some agents would gaff their joint, or fix it so there would never be a winner.They might set up an Ikey Heyman, for example, a wheel of fortune they could brake insecret. Smart agents would set up a two-way joint that could be easily converted fromunwinnable to winnable should a police officer walk by. Other agents might allow aplayer to win, only to refuse them a prize and present them with an alibi, some unfore-seen rule that they had broken, like crossing the foul line. Some agents would simplyburn the lot, that is, cheat the player outright under the assumption they would never seethe player again.

Some joints were straight and played by the rules. However, with these, the prizeswere usually less than desirable. Straight stores, for example, allowed for a winner everytime, but presented winners with slum for prizes. These small, cheap prizes cost players apretty penny in tickets to play the game.

Agents like to make money and had their own terms for the scratch, or tip, they made.An ace was $1, a fin $5, a sawbuck $10, a double $20, a half-yard $50, a yard or a C-note $100, and a large or a K $1,000.

With carnivals moving often and most agents never seeing the same town twice, itwas not a surprise that many of them tried to swindle players. The chance they would seesomeone they had cheated again was slim to none. Although this isn't as likely to happentoday, people are still suspicious of agents running carnival games and many prefer tospend their money on rides instead

A showcase for the unusual

Carousel is most appealing

In the mid-1800s, many circuses andcarnivals featured sideshows that put theunusual on display. The stars of these"freak shows," as they were termed at thetime, were humans and animals with fea-tures or abilities out of the norm. Somehad conditions resulting in a physicaldeformity, like an overly small stature oran extra limb, while others did somethingout of the ordinary, like eating fire or swal-lowing swords.

P.T. Barnum was one of the first to real-ly profit from sideshows. Barnum stum-bled into the business after seeing an eld-erly woman named Joice Heth in asideshow in Philadelphia. Hailed as the161-year-old nurse of George Washington,Heth piqued crowd interest. Not one tomiss a lucrative opportunity, Barnum pur-chased the act for $1,000 and continued totour with Heth until her death a year later,earning up to $1,500 a week. Barnumspent the next several years of his lifedeveloping one sideshow after another. In1871, he launched the successful P.T.Barnum's Great Traveling Museum,Menagerie, Caravan and Hippodrome fea-turing many classic acts, like the giant, thefat lady, the midget and the thin man.Others took their cue from Barnum, andbefore long, there were over 105sideshows touring with circuses and carni-vals around the country.

A platform for the unusual, sideshowswere a target for criticism, with manyclaiming participants had been forced intothe way of life or were being exploitedagainst their wishes. Some participants likeHeth had in fact been bought. They weretoo old, young, sick or mentally chal-lenged to say otherwise, and theirguardians or parents could no longer carefor them. Others like Otis Jordan hadmade the choice to work in sideshowsbecause it was far easier for them to earn aliving there than somewhere else. Billed as"the frog boy," Jordan lost out on hundredsof dollars in wages when disability rightsactivists got him barred from exhibition atthe New York State Fair in 1984. It tookhim two years to earn back his right toperform.

With changing attitudes and increasingawareness of the potential for exploitationin sideshows, people began to lose interestin them in the 1970s and many went outbusiness. Few exist today. Coney Islandhas one, but it has strict standards in placeto prevent the exploitation of its perform-ers. While the sideshows of yesterday maybe gone, the names of their legendary per-formers live on. Who can forget Jack Earlethe Texas Giant, Siamese twins Chang andEng, or General Tom Thumb, the tiny manwho made P.T. Barnum a fortune? Whoindeed.

Fairs are full of rides for kids youngand old, but perhaps one of the mostappealing is the carousel. Fitted with lav-ishly carved animals, carousels are gearedto delight, and delight they do. Althoughthey have been around for some time,carousels experienced their heyday in theUnited States from 1880 to 1930. Duringthat time, about 6,000 carousels weremade, of which about 200 or so remaintoday.

No two carousels are exactly alike.Some feature horse figures, others,menagerie figures-bears, cats, giraffes, etc.Some feature figures called jumpers thatgo up and down. Some feature figurescalled standers that are bolted to the floor.Some feature figures called prancers thathave their two front feet raised in their air.Some feature figures called stargazers thathave their nose pointing upward. Somefeature figures carved in the Country Fairstyle, others, figures carved in the ConeyIsland style, and others, figures carved inthe Philadelphia style.

Country fair style figures are small andslender, making for easy removal whenthe carousel was taken apart and movedfrom town to town.

Coney Island style figures are also

slender but highly stylized with flowingmanes, lively expressions and jeweledtrappings with traces of gold and silverleaf. To play up the glitz of the figures,many of the carousels featured mirrors.

Philadelphia style figures are large,strong and realistic with lifelike poses andexpressions.

Whatever the style, carvers differed intheir approach, churning out their ownunique figures and making for fantasticcarousels. Generally, the largest, mostelaborately carved figures were placed onthe outside row of the carousel, wherethey would be seen. Oftentimes, theromantic side of the figures facing thepublic would feature more intricate detailsthan the other side. Of all the figures onthe outside row, one would stand out. Thislead figure would contain the initials ormarks of the manufacturer somewhere inits trappings.

Carousels were once big business, andwhile many of the masterpieces of the late19th and early 20th centuries have beendestroyed, some remain. They continue tooperate in various places around the coun-try or have been preserved in museums ordismantled and sold to collectors.

Create acow-printlampshadeBy Donna Erickson

When sprucing up your homefor spring, think twice before toss-ing out a tired-looking, plain-whitelampshade and spending money ona new one. You and your school-age kids can brighten it up andgive it new life with the miracle ofacrylic paint and decorative trim orribbon.

Dream up and paint any designsyou like, or give "cow prints" a try.The black shapes are simple forbeginners to draw and paint on a lamp-shade, plus the fun cow-spot look is ver-satile for a range of decorating styles.While providing a delightful accent tothe most contemporary decor, they alsoadd a fresh pop to an easy country style.

And if there's a new baby in thehouse, the spotted lampshade whimsical-ly accentuates a barnyard theme in thenursery. Since newborns are attracted toblack-and-white shapes, this shade willbe a favorite with baby from the start.

Here's what you'll need:•Cleaned used or inexpensive stan-

dard, plain-white lampshade withoutpleats

•Acrylic paint from crafts stores inblack or in the color you prefer for thespots

•Pencil•Newspaper•Paintbrush•Decorative fringe, trim or ribbon to

fit around the bottom edge of the shadewith a slight overlap.

•Glue gunHere's the fun:1. You might want to start the project

with your kids by looking at photos of

cows, paying particular attention to vari-ous sizes and shapes of their spots.Practice sketching a few spots on paperwith a pencil. On a newspaper-coveredwork surface, fill in the practice spotsusing paint and a paintbrush. Once youget the hang of it, begin sketching andpainting on the lampshade, going fromtop to bottom. Let dry.

2. An adult should carefully glue thefringe or ribbon in place around the bot-tom rim of the shade. Let dry. Place onyour lamp base.

Extra-bright ideas:If your kids want to make more cow

prints, look around for other decoratingitems that could be embellished, such asa picture frame, a removable cover of aplain fabric throw pillow, a clay flower-pot or a wastepaper basket.

The king ofcustomerserviceBy Angela Shelf Medearis

If Chef Jack Gilmore has a businessmotto, it would probably be "I don'tbelieve in taking anyone for granted."Gilmore, the owner of Jack Allen'sKitchen in Austin, Texas, is the undisput-ed King of Customer Service. From hisfarm-fresh menu to the friendly and atten-tive wait staff, everything about JackAllen's Kitchen is designed to please thepickiest palate or pacify the crankiest cus-tomer.

Gilmore, along with co-owner TomKamm, opened Jack Allen's Kitchen afteryears of working in some of the best-known restaurants in town. Both menhave worked at almost every job in thebusiness, from dishwasher to executivechef. Gilmore got his start when hereceived an instant promotion from bus-boy to chef when the cook didn't show up.Years of restaurant experience and theirlove for the art and craft of a stellar mealare evident in every aspect of their restau-rant.

"We wanted to create the next greatrestaurant in Austin," Kamm said. "Wewanted to create a place that was verycomfortable, where everyone felt wel-come. We wanted it to be value driven, sowe could see people come two or threetimes a week."

Local farmer's markets elevate whatChef Jack strives to do with his uniquemenu. Buying local isn't just a catchphrase -- the restaurant spends thousandsof dollars to purchase the fresh ingredientsthat Jack transforms into his mouth-water-ing dishes.

"Every season is wonderful," ChefJack says. "We're as local as you can get.Everything is from Texas, except forthings you can't get here."

The restaurant staff is friendly, atten-tive and trained to ask if items left on theplate are because the diner is full or dis-satisfied and to take corrective actionimmediately. The complimentary home-made pimiento cheese and delectable flat-bread crackers that appear the minuteyou're seated are just the beginning.

The starters are a fabulous way tobegin a meal, or you could look at the vastvariety of items such as Spainsh-styletapas with a Texas drawl. Chicken nachi-tos with house-pickled jalapenos; crunchycatfish with chipotle-spiked tartar sauce;Idaho fries infused with red chile, scal-lions, cotija cheese and garlic aioli; bacon-wrapped Texas quail with jalapeno andpeach jam and a micro green fig salad;and blue-crab gratin layered with arti-choke hearts, spinach, Parmesan andgrilled ciabatta bread are some of thestarters that could easily be transformedinto a light meal.

"We kind of hung our hat on a greatappetizer menu that's very affordable,"Gilmore said.

Chef Jack's talents, culinary expertiseand love for people and food are reflectedin his eclectic offerings. His unique menufeatures the best in fine dining, as evi-denced in his perfectly prepared grilledruby trout, crispy salmon and palate-pleas-ing chorizo-stuffed pork tenderloin medal-lions. The Chicken Fried Anything choic-

es of a battered New York strip steak,chicken breast, pork chop or my personalfavorite -- slow-cooked beef ribsimmersed in a light, crisp, perfectly sea-soned batter with a side of green chilegravy and chunky, mashed red potatoesand seasonal vegetables.

A visit to Jack Allen's Kitchen is a per-fect way to start or end the day and to lux-uriate and feast in a restaurant where thecustomer is king.

Have a healthy wakeup

The lowdown on calcium

You love your morning juice and toast.Nothing says "Wake up!" like a glass oforange juice and a couple slices of toast.Unfortunately, all of that bread you'reconsuming every morning is starting tocatch up with you-in your waistline. Timeto shop for healthier bread.

While white bread certainly tastesgood, it is not necessarily the healthiest.The healthiest breads consist of 100%whole ingredients, either whole grains orwhole-wheat flour. Any less than thatindicates the presence of something else,probably white flour, which offers verylittle nutritional value. When white flouris refined, the germ and bran are removedfrom it, reducing the nutritional valueconsiderably. While some manufacturersadd vitamins and minerals back in,enriching the bread, some do not. Checkthe label on the bread and make certainthe first ingredient listed is 100% wholegrain or 100% whole-wheat flour.

Don't stop your review of the labelthere. Check out the rest of the ingredi-ents listed, in particular the grains and thefiber. How much of each are there?Although the bread may be referred to as

a multigrain, you won't know for sureuntil you see the percentages of the grainsincluded. If they're low, chances areyou're not getting the healthiest choiceyou could be. The same principle appliesto the fiber. The bread should be high infiber as well, with two to three grams perslice.

Pay attention to the serving size. Oneserving may consist of more than oneslice of bread, which, in turn, will affectthe nutritional values listed. The breadmight contain two grams of fiber perserving, but only one gram per slice. Dothe math and know the nutritional valueof one slice of bread, in particular thecalorie count. The healthiest breads con-tain less than 100 calories per slice. Don'tassume the bread is low in calories justbecause it is called a light bread. It mayhave more air or thinner slices, neither ofwhich will make it filling.

Take your time when shopping forbread. Don't be fooled by the claims onthe packaging. Study the labels, knowwhat the bread really consists of andselect the healthiest choice for you. Yourwaistline will thank you.

Your mother has been harping at youto drink your milk since you were four, soyou know how important it is. You gottadrink milk to get the calcium your bodyneeds for healthy teeth and bones. Yeah,yeah, but milk is not exactly your favoritebeverage, and worse, it's full of fat. Howare you going to get the calcium youneed?

Before you get to that, you first needto know exactly how much calcium youneed. That depends upon your age andhormonal state. Eleven- to 24-year-oldsneed 1,200 to 1,500 milligrams a day; 25-to 50-year-olds, 1,000 milligrams; preg-nant or nursing women, 1,200 to 1,500milligrams; 50- to 65-year-olds pastmenopause, 1,000 milligrams with estro-gen and 1,500 milligrams without; and65-year-olds and older, 1,500 milligrams.

Now that you know how much calci-um you need, you can turn your attentionto sources of it. Milk is a great source ofcalcium, but because of the fat involved,you might want to try skim or 2% milk.One cup will provide 315 milligrams.Yogurt is another choice. Three-fourths acup of fruit-flavored yogurt will provide259 milligrams of calcium. If dairy is notyour thing, there are alternatives, like cal-cium-fortified juices and broccoli. Onecup of calcium-fortified orange will pro-vide a whopping 320 milligrams of calci-

um, while half a cup of cooked broccoliwill provide 36 milligrams of calcium(half a cup is not that much either). Othergood sources of calcium include calcium-fortified cereals, clams, oysters, sardines,kale and mustard or turnip greens.

If you still don't think you can get therecommended amount of calcium, youmay want to look into taking a calciumsupplement. You should speak to yourdoctor first, as there may be some issues.Calcium supplements are a no-no withcertain drugs and may increase the risk ofkidney stones and heart disease in somewomen. Consumption of certain foodscan also block the absorption of the sup-plement, so if given permission to takeone, you need to read and follow themanufacturer's instructions carefully.

Getting the right amount of calciumnot only makes for healthy teeth andbones, but wards off osteoporosis andcolon cancer and offers other health bene-fits as well. Studies have shown calciumhelpful in controlling weight and reduc-ing anxiety and depression associatedwith PMS. It may also lower blood pres-sure and cholesterol, reducing the risk ofstroke in some women. Know the factsabout calcium. Read up on its many bene-fits and discuss the issue with your doctorto determine what's right for you.

Should you eatwhat you catch?

Are the fish in your local lake or stream contaminat-ed by industrial waste? How do you know if you shouldyou eat them? What might happen to you if you do eatthem?

Contaminants, such as mercury, leach into rivers andlakes from industrial and household wastes that havebeen disposed of improperly. Although PCB, a syntheticoil, has been banned since 1977, it does not decomposereadily and, in fact, remains in lakes and riverbeds foryears. Fat-soluble PCBs and other chemicals areabsorbed and remain in the fatty tissues of fish, such ascarp and catfish. Carp have one of the highest levels offat, and therefore, PCBs, prompting authorities in someareas to warn anglers not to eat the meat of this fish atall. Lake Michigan, specifically the Chicago area, is onesuch location where a strict warning against eating carpexists. The same advisory applies to channel catfish.

Mercury and PCBs are the most common contami-nants in fresh fish, whether you catch them yourself orbuy them at the grocery store. Because you can’t see,smell or taste the contaminants, the Department ofHealth recommends reading their safe eating guidelinesor fish advisory list published each year. This report,

based on samples taken from various bodies of waterthroughout the states, advises which fish can be eaten inunlimited quantities, which fish can be eaten in limitedquantities and which fish should be avoided altogether.

The larger the fish, the more contaminants it is likelyto have. Larger fish have lived longer and haveabsorbed more than their smaller equivalents. Mercurylevels tend to be highest in fish that routinely feed onother fish, such as bass, walleye and northern pike.There is no way to reduce the amount of mercury infish, not by cooking or cleaning, as the chemicalremains tightly bound to the proteins of fish tissue.However, some contaminants reside in the fat of fish,which is why it is recommended to trim excess fat.Grilling fish allows additional fat to drip away from thetissues. The leftover drippings should be disposed ofand not used to prepare other dishes.

Although it sounds risky, you should not stop eatingfish. Because they are very high in protein and low infat, doctors recommend eating fish once a week toreduce the risk of heart attack. What about the contami-nants? To become a major health concern, you wouldhave to eat contaminated fish day in and day out formonths or even years. Mercury poisoning affects thecentral nervous system, prompting symptoms, such asclumsiness, speech impediments or subtle sight andhearing loss. Large amounts of PCBs affect internalorgans, such as the liver, and may play havoc with theimmune system. But eating contaminated fish occasion-

ally gives the body time enough to flush the contami-nants from it, causing no lasting effects.

According to experts, there are a few other ways tolimit the amount of contaminants you consume whilestill enjoying your “catch of the day.”

•Be aware of the fish contaminant guidelines in thewaters you fish.

•Practice catch and release, keeping the smaller fishwhile staying within the catch limits of your state’s fish-ing laws.

•Eat the panfish you catch. They generally containfewer contaminants than the predatory fish.

• If you catch a really big fish that can bring youbragging rights, it’s okay to take it home to eat if youdivide it into small portions. Freeze the portions and eatthem over time.

•Grill fish if possible, so the fat drips away. Bakingracks will produce the same results when it’s too coldoutside to use the gas grill. Avoid frying fish.

Thanks to the efforts and research of the UnitedStates Environmental Protection Agency, contaminants,such as chlordane, are no longer used. Chlordane was apesticide commonly used from 1948 to 1988. Afterhealth concerns arose in 1983, it was banned from alluses except for termite control. In 1988, it was com-pletely banned and is no longer used today. For a com-plete listing of contaminated fish and where they arelocated, contact the Department of Public Health in yourstate.
