Local strawberries are so sweet, juicy and lus-cious right now that I have to remind myself that summer’s strawberry fields don’t last forever. I sa-vor the plump, red berries and love showing them

off in new ways with my family. While they taste great au naturel for a grab-and-go snack, there are endless ways to incorporate them with other healthy ingredients day in and day out.

Here are sweet ideas we are enjoying this year:

Spinach and Strawberry SaladKids won’t eat their spinach? Make a tasty salad with a light vinaigrette your

kids make. Get started by letting them grate the rind of a clean lemon into a small bowl,

then cut the lemon in half and squeeze out all of the juice. Add 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar. As one child drizzles 1/4 cup olive oil into the mixture, another child may whisk briskly.

Drizzle over a bowl of spinach, cubed fresh mango and strawberry slices. Add toasted almond slices, if you wish.

Strawberry Faux FondueSummertime is party time. For a simple do-it-yourself dessert at a large gath-

ering, set a big bowl of strawberries in the center of a table, along with bamboo skewers and fondue-style sweets in small bowls for dipping. Before the party, let your kids fill the bowls with caramel, strawberry and fudge sauces, powdered sugar and brown sugar. To serve, tell guests to poke a berry onto a skewer and dip into a treat.

A Bowl of BerriesChop fresh mint and add to a bowl of blue-

berries, raspberries and sliced strawberries as a fruit side dish at lunchtime. The combo also makes a nice dessert served with a favorite cookie.

Grilled Strawberries Cut strawberries in half lengthwise and let

your kids poke several onto bamboo skew-ers lengthwise. An adult should set the cut side of the berries on a grill for a minute, or until grill marks appear. Serve for dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

• On Aug. 25, 1835, the first in a series of six articles announcing the supposed discovery of life on the moon appears in the New York Sun newspaper. The hoax articles offered vivid description: enormous amethyst crystals and lush vegetation, as well as animals such as unicorns, two-legged beavers and furry, winged humanoids resembling bats.

• On Aug. 23, 1902, pioneering cookbook author Fannie Farmer, who changed the way Americans prepare food by advocating the use of standardized measurements in recipes, opens Miss Farmer's School of Cookery in Boston.

• On Aug. 24, 79, after centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the 18th century, the cities were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This will be my first year as an assistant football coach at the high-school level. The head coach has given me the task of preparing for heat-related injuries. It stays hot here way into October. I’d appreciate any tips you can give me. -- G.O.

ANSWER: The best prevention for heat injuries is calling off practice on hot, humid days. What exactly is a hot, humid day? If your school has a wet-bulb globe thermometer, on days when it registers 82 or higher, either call off practice or limit the work done. This reading incorporates heat and humidity.

It takes two weeks for the body to acclimatize to heat. In the first few days, drills should not be demanding. Once acclimatized, the body sweats earlier and the sodium content of sweat lessens. Encourage players to stay hydrated. They should drink 16 to 20 ounces of water or a sports drink two hours before and again half an hour before practice. Players should continue to drink 8 ounces every 20 minutes. Sports drinks provide sodium.

Heat cramps are the first sign of trouble. Mus-cles of the arms, legs or abdomen cramp. Cramp-ing players should be taken out of practice, sit in a cool, shaded place and drink sodium-contain-ing fluids. Heat fainting is a more serious sign of heat trouble. Such a player should be taken to an air-conditioned room, hydrated and carefully watched. This player ought not to practice the following day.

Heat exhaustion is the next and is a quite seri-ous sign of heat injury. The player sweats heavily, might be nauseated, breathes rapidly and has a fast pulse and low blood pressure. He’s apt to be confused. The player is dehydrated and sodium-depleted. He must be quickly taken to an air-con-ditioned room, have his clothes removed and his legs elevated. Cold fluids containing sodium are essential. If he’s not responding to this treatment shortly, he ought to be taken to a hospital emer-gency department.

Heatstroke is the most serious heat injury. All the signs mentioned above are present, but the skin can be dry. The player is groggy or unresponsive. He needs to be taken to an emergency room by ambu-lance. Clothes are removed. During transport, ice-water-soaked towels are placed under his arms, in his groin and around his neck. Immersion in an ice-water bath will be accomplished at the hospital.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What can you tell me

about hypothyroidism? Does taking iodine help? I hear that taking thyroid hormone is a lifetime com-mitment. -- C.N.

ANSWER: Hypothyroidism is a thyroid gland that’s putting out way too little thyroid hormone. All body processes slow. People become weak and are exhausted. They’re cold when others are pleas-antly warm. They gain weight without overeating. Their skin dries. The face becomes puffy. The heart beats slowly.

Worldwide, iodine deficiency is the main cause of a sluggish thyroid gland. It is not in North America. Here, the main cause is an attack on the gland by the immune system.

The appropriate treatment is supply-ing the hormone in pill form. It usually is a lifelong treat-ment, but it’s not an onerous one. It’s taking only one pill a day.

• • • Dr. Donohue regrets that he

is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

If your high-school junior is top-notch college material but you fear having him or her apply to the more well-known universities because of the like-lihood of being buried in student loans at the end of four years, consider this: Students at Princeton University graduate without a single cent in loans, and have since 2001. The reason is the financial assistance that’s available.

For more than 30 years, Princeton’s main goal has been education, and it will cover up to 100 percent of a student’s needs for tuition, room, board and mandatory fees. Not covered are books and personal expenses. Each family’s financial situation is considered and an amount is determined that the parents will pay toward the student’s education. Financial aid from the university will fill in the rest and will include a campus job. For more informa-tion, go online to www.princeton.edu and make your way to the Aid Estimator.

How about Harvard? If your student has the grades, money shouldn’t be a consideration. In one year alone, Harvard will give $166 million in need-based grants. Parents with incomes less than $65,000 aren’t expected to contribute, although in coming years that will change to a small percent-age of income being expected as tuition. To calcu-late the cost of a Harvard education, go online to www.admissions.college.harvard.edu and look for the Net Price Calculator.

Dartmouth has raised its family income level to $100,000. Below that amount, loans are not included in financial-aid packages. Read the fine print, however. Student health insurance and room and board are not necessarily included.

The University of Pennsylvania has gone all-

grant, no-loan, as have Swathmore, MIT (for par-ents making less than $75,000) and Vanderbilt.

Is Yale in your student’s future? Beware, if you want to avoid student loans. While Yale has need-based financial aid, student loans are considered part of that “self-help” extra-fees money that the student is responsible for. Go online to www.yale.edu and look for the Net Price Calculator to determine your contribution to your child’s fees.

To find more colleges that don’t include loans as part of tuition payments, go online and search for “no loan financial aid” for more colleges with in-house financial aid.

Hunt for message boards or blogs that might give a fuller picture of the financial aid that’s offered at a given school.

August 9 - 15, 2012

In one sense, it was a great weekend for Sam Hornish Jr.

Returning to the scene of his greatest triumph, the 2006 Indianapolis 500, Hornish bookended a Dodge sweep by

finishing second to teammate Brad Keselowski in the Indiana 250 on July 28, the Nationwide Series' first-ever visit to famed Indianapolis 500.

The Sprint Cup race on the next day, however, brought frustration.Hornish has, for now, replaced the suspended A.J. Allmendinger as driver of

Roger Penske's No. 22 Dodge in the Sprint Cup Series. Penske hasn't ruled out the possibility of Allmendinger's eventual return, though it seems unlikely. He would like to see Hornish establish himself as a Cup driver worthy of support.

The Crown Royal Curtiss Shaver 400 (formerly known as the Brickyard and Allstate 400s) was frustrating for the 33-year-old Horn-ish, whose NASCAR career has been a dis-appointment. Though he won a Nationwide Series race in 2011 at Phoenix, he has never finished better than fourth (Pocono, 2009) in 113 Cup races.

Hornish's best Cup finish was at a flat track. His lone Nationwide victory was at a flat track. Indy is a flat track.

"It's a little bit of the mentality of what I grew up racing," Hornish, from Defiance, Ohio, said. "I did mostly road courses, so, I mean, that's generally pretty flat. I like tracks like Phoenix, that are different from end to end, be-cause they're what I call compromise race tracks.

"You're never going to get your car perfect at both ends, so you try to work on one end where you think it's going to be more beneficial for you to get passes done, and then you kind of try to maintain on the other end. Pocono is another place that's like that."

Hornish finished 16th in Indy's Sprint Cup race on July 29. He'll continue in Cup, where possible, though his first priority is winning the Nationwide championship. He currently ranks fourth in the standings, 28 points off Elliott Sadler's pace. The Nationwide Series has no Chase, so Hornish has 14 races to catch and pass the three drivers -- Sadler, Austin Dillon and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- ahead of him.

A Nationwide championship might provide Hornish with the spark he needs to return to NASCAR's top series full-time.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I started my own fitness training about four months ago, and have done pretty well with daily runs. Now that my dog "Spirit" is out of puppyhood -- he's about 9 months old -- I've tried to take him along. But he didn't seem too excited the first time we went run-ning together. He stopped running and tugged on his leash back toward home after just half a mile. How can I get Spirit into running? -- Curt C., Boulder, Colo.

DEAR CURT: You've got to work Spirit up to it, just as you had to work your fitness upward. He gave a really clear signal that a half mile was his initial maximum distance; at that point it was time to take him home. Spirit is still very young to be out running, so don't get discouraged by that first-day showing; just gradually increase the distance each day in small increments, take Spirit home, and finish your own run.

Running with your dog can be rewarding, providing companionship and even a measure of security. But keep your dog's welfare in mind throughout the exercise. Heidi Ganahl of Camp Bow Wow offered some important tips for keeping your dog safe while running:

--Don't feed your dog less than 1 hour before or after running, to avoid the possibility of bloat.

--Put sunblock on your dog's nose on sunny days.--Make sure he drinks plenty of water before and after the run.--Check your dog's feet after each run for injuries.--Avoid running in very hot, humid weather, as dogs can overheat

quickly.--Place reflective gear on your dog and yourself if running in the evening

or early morning.
