Q: I have a cast iron hay hook that I purchased at a farm auction several years ago. I have been offered $25 for it. -- Carl, Camden, Ohio

A: If your hay hook has wooden handles, it is worth about $15.

• • •Q: I have a coin silver knife that was brought from

England to New Jersey during the 1790s by Stephen Pierson, a lumberman and mayor of Alton during the 1840s. I have estimates of very high to very low; what do you think? -- Thomas, Alton, Ill.

A: You didn’t state whom the estimates were from, so I suggest you begin by getting an appraisal from a certified appraiser. This doesn’t mean the opinion of a neighbor, or knife collector or someone who watches the “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS. There are basically two types of appraisals, verbal and writ-ten. The verbal appraisals are less expensive, but if you are determining a value for insurance purposes, a written appraisal is the only way to go. You should, of course, expect to pay a small fee for this service. Check the business pages of your local phone book, and make certain that the appraiser you choose spe-cializes in personal property, not real estate.

• • •Q: I am a Vietnam veteran and managed to save

some things from my tour of duty. I have such things as a M7 bayonet, an M1956 belt, several canteens, a field mess kit and, of course, my uniforms. I am downsizing and wonder if the time has come to get rid of this stuff. -- Robert, Midland, Texas

A: It depends on how much these things truly mean to you. My dad kept his WWII footlocker and its contents until the day he died. I have it

now and wouldn’t part with it for any amount of money. On the other hand, a friend of mine couldn’t wait to discard his U.S. Navy gear. Be-fore you decide what to do, I suggest you con-tact an expert who is in the business of buying and selling military collectibles. I highly recommend George Kotarpole, owner of History, By George, 129 W. Main St., Mesa, AZ 85201.

A friend of mine is an amazing magician who loves to play tricks on the kids in the neighborhood. One afternoon, I noticed there was a crowd gathered around him watching with great anticipa-tion a magic trick being performed. I arrived just in time to witness his grand finale: pulling a bouquet of flow-ers out of thin air. The surprise on the kids’ faces -- and mine -- was a sight to behold.

Here’s another wonderful surprise, and a bit of magic your kids won’t want to miss. It’s a natural transformation that leads to the most peculiar result. This slithery goop appears to be solid one moment, only to ooze out between your fingers, over your wrist and down your arm seconds later.

Once you make this concoction, let the school-age kids in your home or at your summer birthday party play with it. Then have a contest to give it a name. For starters, how about “Sublime Slime” or, our favorite, “Ectoplasmic Ick”!

‘Ectoplasmic Ick’ Will Baffle Kids

Here’s the recipe:In a mixing bowl, stir together 3/4

cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup water to form a thick paste. Add food coloring or liquid tempera paint for color, if

you wish. You may need to add more water. Now, roll the goop in your hands to form a ball.

Immediately, ex-periment with it to discover its unique properties. Squeeze it, hit it or let it drip through your fin-gers. Or, place it on a cookie sheet, press

it flat, roll it in a ball or let it go. It’s amazing! If you have a bowlful, set plastic toys on it and watch them sink like they’re in quicksand.

For another surprising experiment, let it evaporate in the sunshine to dis-cover cornstarch once again. Add wa-ter and you’ll have another batch.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: From the minute I get out of bed, I have attacks of dizziness. I don’t know what brings them on. I’m afraid these spells are going to make me fall and break something. Do you have any thoughts that could help? I’m 82. -- R.M.

ANSWER: The causes of dizziness (vertigo) are many. I’ll mention a couple, but you need a doctor’s exam to determine what the exact problem is.

Meniere’s (main-YAIRS) disease is a triad of dizziness, hearing loss and ear noises (tinnitus).

It comes in brief attacks, with recovery in a short time. As time passes, attacks last longer, with briefer periods of relief. A buildup of fluid in the inner ear is responsible. Water pills and a strict low-sodium diet help. Surgical drainage of the fluid is another treatment.

A viral infection of the inner ear is a common dizziness cause. Time eventually takes care of the virus. During the period of infection, a medicine like meclizine improves symptoms.

A third common problem is benign positional vertigo -- dizziness attacks with head movement. Getting out of bed, rolling over in bed, looking up at a high shelf and just about any change in head position trigger an attack, which is short-lived. Tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear have migrated to places where they engender a discharge of confusing signals to the brain. Repositioning the crystals puts an end to the attacks.

Sit in the middle of a bed, far enough to the op-posite side of the bed that your head will project over that side when you lie down. If a head turn to the right provokes an attack, quickly turn your head to the right, and keep it turned until dizziness goes. Then lie down quickly with your head off the side of the bed and still turned to the right. Then, from that position, turn your head to the left. Roll over onto your left side, with your nose pointed down to the floor, for 30 seconds. Then go back to the starting sitting posi-tion with head bent. If dizziness persists, repeat. If this is too complicated, let your doctor lead you through it.

The booklet on dizziness discusses in greater depth its various causes and treatments. To ob-tain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 801W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I try to keep up with

the latest nutritional recommendations. I have had no formal training, so I am often confused by the terms used. For example, what are simple carbo-hydrates and complex carbohydrates? What’s the difference? -- L.A.

ANSWER: Simple carbohydrates are sugars like table sugar (sucrose). The sugar in intravenous feedings in hospitals is glucose, and fruit sugar is fructose. Both are simple carbohydrates.

Complex carbohydrates are very long chains of the basic carbohydrate unit. Starches are com-plex carbohydrates. Potatoes, pastas and rice are examples of complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates don’t raise blood sugar as quickly as simple ones do.

• “The kids are all home for the summer, which means more TV squabbles. We limit their television viewing with coupons, which they can use to “reserve” the TV. They write the time they’d like to use the television, in 30-minute increments, on the coupon, and it gets taped to the inside cabinet of the entertainment center. This has worked well, since it’s first-come, first-served”. -- R.E. in Tennessee

Who knew?On race morning at Michigan International Speedway on June

15, it rained as if an ark, not a stock-car race, was being launched. The rain washed away the rubber that drivers seem to consider

as crucial to the quality of a race as that same rubber when it's still on the tires and, by extension, the cars.

The tires on the left sides of all the cars were older than the pavement, having been part of a batch turned out by a Goodyear factory in 2006 and '07. The engines had more laps on them than their builders wanted because additional practice was required.

How could something so wrong turn out to be so right? Sometimes it's the race that is great, and sometimes it's the story.

Michigan has been the scene of great hope that the Dale Earnhardt Jr. night-mare would end, prin-cipally because it was the place where the previous victory had occurred. That race had, however, been a bit of a fluke since it was achieved more on the basis of fuel mile-age than speed and it

had been Earnhardt's only previous victory at the track.

Earnhardt didn't give himself much of a chance the night before the race.

"The car was a real handful, especially being around other cars," he said. "When they change the tire, it takes away a ton of mechanical grip. The car really relies a lot on the aero grip from that point on, and when you get around other cars, you lose that. When you have no mechanical and no aero, the car is a real tricky thing to get through the corner.

"I was really disappointed that they changed the tire. I was disappointed we were going through the process. ... We had worked a couple of days getting the thing to work with what we brought here. Then we were thrown into a deal where we had about an hour to figure it out. We only had 25 laps on our motor. Our motor tuner wouldn't let us run more than that. ... I was desperate ..."

This Earnhardt victory was no fluke. He dominated, crossing the finish line more than five seconds ahead of Tony Stewart.

"That other race was won on fuel mileage," Earnhardt said. "And today, we just whupped 'em."

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I wanted to pass on to your readers something I found that works very well for removing ticks: Icy-Hot. My little dog got a tick right in our own yard. I tried using a match, but I was so nervous that I might burn her. My sister told me to use Icy-Hot. I'm so relieved it did the trick! -- Diane O., Palmyra, N.Y.

DEAR DIANE: Interesting tip! One way that we used to remove ticks from our dogs many years ago was by smearing a dollop of Vaseline over the embedded tick, covering it completely. Eventually, the tick would suffocate or try to escape.

In recent years, however, veterinarians and disease-control experts have rec-ommended against using Vaseline because it can take up to 48 hours for the tick to suffocate. Ticks need to be removed quickly -- within 24 hours or less. Why? Because after a day of feeding, the tick is completely engorged with blood. To keep feeding, it regurgitates that blood right back into your pet -- and if the tick is carrying a disease like Lyme, your pet is likely to be infected.

Ditto with the old-fashioned match trick. When a lighted match is held to the tick, the tick often pulls out quickly -- but it tends to regurgitate as it does so.

So what's the best way to remove ticks? Experts recommend tweezers, grabbing as close to the tick's head as possible. Slowly pull the head out without twisting or jerking -- being careful not to squish the tick for the reasons listed above. If the tick's head or part of its head breaks off in the skin, moni-tor your pet for a few days. It should be worked out by your pet's own body, but if signs of infection appear, contact your veterinarian.
