Bridges that carry
I-64 over Wabash
will be replaced
POSEYVILLE, Ind.
(AP) — Erosion along the
Wabash River has led to
highway officials making
plans to replace the Interstate
64 bridges linking
southern Indiana and Illinois
within the next few years.
The two bridges are less
than 50 years old but that
erosion around the bridge
piers has accelerated with
changes in the river’s flow
since 1985, the Evansville
Courier & Press (http://bit.
ly/15ahtIZ ) reported.
The problem has grown
worse in recent years as
currents continue to scour
the Illinois side of the bank
about 25 miles northwest
of Evansville. The Illinois
Department of Transportation
this year completed
$2.5 million in emergency
repairs on the I-64 bridge
piers.
The estimated $71 million
bridges replacement
is included in the Illinois
highway department’s 2015-
2019 projects plan. Illinois
and Indiana will share the
project cost, with Illinois
overseeing the work.

Natural pesticides; NSAIDS
and vascular problems
Q: I've planted vegetables and herbs
this year, but they're getting kind of
buggy. Are there safe pesticides I can use?
-- Claudia V., Boise, Idaho
A: Pesticides are responsible for allowing
farmers to grow huge quantities of crops
for an ever-expanding population, but -- and
it's a big but -- we keep finding out they have
all kinds of unintended side effects that damage
bees (fewer bees, less pollination, fewer
crops), disrupt hormone function in people,
animals, fish and insects (affecting development
of sperm, fertility and, some conjecture,
sexual identity), cause behavior and
cognitive problems (ADHD in children) and
trigger cancer (such as leukemia). And they
show up in breast milk; some studies find 60
percent or more of samples contain harmful
chemicals.
In addition, contamination of ground
water by pesticides is a worldwide problem,
and pesticides that are banned for use on
agriculture in this country (and manufactured
by U.S. companies) are routinely shipped
overseas for use on vegetables that then are
imported back into America.
So for home gardeners, the smart move is
to make your own natural pesticides. Some
of our favorite home remedies:
--Throw a kegger for slugs! Shallow
plates of beer set out around plants (slugs
love strawberries, corn, beans, lettuce ...
and beer) will distract and drown the plantmunching
pests.
--Go Italian: Bugs hate garlic and onions.
Save all your skins and ends from cooking,
throw in a hot pepper, and soak them
in a bucket of water for 48 hours. Strain and
spray to discourage thrips, aphids, grasshoppers
and chewing and sucking insects.
--Juice 'em up: Use the peel of four organic
lemons and their juice; steep in 1 gallon
of hot water. (Some people add a teaspoon
of natural soap.) Strain and spray to control
aphids.
--Counterattack: Plant radishes next to
cucumbers to scare away beetles; rosemary,
mint and thyme near cabbage to scare away
cabbage worms.

year!
Q: I read that taking cox-2 inhibitors
or pain relievers like ibuprofen is risky for
the heart. Should I stop taking them for
my joint pain? -- Sally K., Lexington, Ky.
A: You probably are referring to a recent
study that got a lot of publicity. The study
looked only at patients who were already at
increased risk of vascular disease; it wanted
to see how non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) -- including the selective
cox-2 inhibitor diclofenac, and ibuprofen
and naproxen -- affected them. The findings:
Naproxen seems to pose the least risk
for vascular complications in folks with cardiovascular
problems. Cox-2 inhibitors and
perhaps ibuprofen seem to be the more risky
choices. But you need to know a bit more ...
First, cox-2 inhibitors were developed
in part to help protect the stomach (and
sometimes intestinal) lining, because traditional
NSAIDs can cause internal bleeding.
However, almost a decade ago, two cox-2
inhibitors, rofecoxib (Vioxx) and valdecoxib
(Bextra), were taken off the market because
they increased many people's risk for stroke
and heart attack. But cox-2 inhibitors that
are still available, such as celecoxib and the
newer versions like diclofenac, have helped
a lot of people manage chronic inflammation
and pain. When they're prescribed and
administered by a competent medical professional,
they are useful. And if you are at risk
for adverse stomach and intestinal reactions,
your doctor may recommend diclofenac.
On the other hand, if you're at risk for a second
heart attack or stroke, maybe you need
to take naproxen or aspirin instead. Each
patient needs to talk with his or her doctor to
determine the best choice of medication; it
depends on your overall health profile.
And we are fans of aspirin -- an effective
anti-inflammatory pain reliever that appears
to have many other far-reaching benefits,
from potential anti-cancer properties to protection
against dementia. But it, too, can
be hard on the stomach, so always take it
with a glass of warm water before and after.
And that's not a bad system for taking any
NSAID, either!
