Here’s the reason for your sneezin’

April is the month for the Boston Marathon

The first Boston Marathon was run in 1897. It was originally a local event, but its fame and status have attracted runners from around the world. For most of its history, the Boston Marathon was a free event, and the only prize awarded for winning the race was a wreath woven from olive branches. However, corporate sponsored cash prizes began to be awarded in the 1980s, when professional athletes began to refuse to run the race without cash awards. The first cash prize for winning the marathon was awarded in 1986.

Women were not allowed to enter the Boston Marathon officially until 1972. Roberta (Bobbi) Gibb is recognized as the first woman to run the entire Boston Marathon in 1966. In 1967, Kathrine Switzer, who had registered as K.V. Switzer, was the first woman to run with a race number. She finished, despite a celebrated incident in which race official Jack Semple tried to rip off her numbers and eject her from the race.

Get better locks!

Okay, so you’re in a hurry to go on a short errand, and you rush out the door without thinking. Mistake. Even the best locks can’t protect you from burglaries if you don’t use them.

If you do remember to lock the door, doing it won’t help much if you don’t have a good lock. The National Crime Prevention Council estimates that only half of us have dead-bolt locks on all of our entry doors. That means ALL doors, not just the front door.

Windows should be locked as well. Many a thief or home invader is willing to climb through a window to gain access. The National Crime Prevention Council has other advice on prevention:

• Trim bushes close to the house so a burglar can’t hide there.

• Never hide a key on the premises. Crooks are experts at finding them. Instead, leave a spare key with a trusted friend or neighbor.

• Make friends with your neighbors. They will keep an eye on your place and call the police when suspicious activities occur.

• Light the entrance to your home, including the front door, the back door, the sliding door and any others.

• Stop mail and newspaper deliveries when you leave for a vacation or a business trip. Piled up newspapers are an obvious tip off that the house is empty.

Beans: Heart Healthy!

If you don’t know beans about beans, here’s a start. They’re good for your heart. They fight cholesterol even among people at risk for heart disease. One study of pinto beans, the most common kind of bean, by the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center shows that regularly eating just a small amount three times a week leads to cholesterol reduction.

That means you don’t have to cook a whole pot of beans to get that benefit along with other vitamins including vitamin B6. Pinto beans are a common filling for burritos. They can also be eaten whole, in broth, mashed or refried.

Car Insurance know-how

Many people think comprehensive auto insurance protects against everything, including collisions with other vehicles, as the name implies. Insurers use the word comprehensive to refer to coverage of damage caused by events other than vehicls collisions – fire, flood, storm damage, animal collisions, therft or vandalism.

Getting car and home insurance from the same company doesn’t always get you the best rates, so shop around. Rates don’t always drop when a driver reaches the age of 25. It depends upon his or her claims history, make of the car and other factors.
