See how tricky it gets? The reader is not clear if the photos were signed for his father. Most authentic signed photos come from within the industry. A glamour shot inscribed to a hairdresser, reading, You make me look good is most likely to be real. For that reason, photos that come on the market from camera- men, costumers or makeup artists are best. Cohen received a signed photo from a dancer in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Inscribed, Its been a pleasure working with you and signed by Monroe, the shot, with a letter of documentation from the owner establishing provenance, is $15,000. The clean trail back to the primary source did it. FYI: Reach Cohen at his Web site or P.O. Box 515, Kleinburg, Ontario, Canada LOJ1CO.

The Keep your head in the desert, prevent dehydration by Nedra Christensen and Pauline Williams Utah State University Extension specialists The hydration status of a person refers to body water balance. Water or fluid has many positive effects on the body, including lowering the heart rate, keeping a lower core temperature during exercise and assisting with proper mental functioning. Dehydration occurs when people dont have enough fluid in their bodies. It can be caused by diarrhea, vomiting, overheating, diabetes, diuretic medications, high fever or excessive sweating. Though dehydration is a serious problem, it can easily be prevented by simply drinking enough water. Dehydration is ranked among the top ten reasons for Medicare hospitalizations. When adequate fluids are consumed, there is a significant reduction in confusion. The ability to feel thirst lessens with age, so seniors especially need to be aware of proper hydration. In the aging process, bodies begin losing muscle and gaining fat. Muscle holds water but fat does not, so as a person ages, body water decreases. For optimal performance, access to fluids is especially important during exercise. In one study, running speeds decreased by 6 to 7 percent when the athlete was dehydrated. Consider these tips to prevent dehydration. Drink at least eight cups of water a day. Dont wait until you are thirsty to drink. By this time you are already dehydrated. Drink by schedule, not by thirst. Carry a water bottle and drink from it regularly. Keep a full water bottle in the refrigerator door and drink from it every time you open the refrigerator. Know where to find fluids when away from home. Drink extra amounts in extreme heat to replace water lost from sweating. If you are sedentary or a moderate exerciser, water is sufficient for hydration. If you are exercising strenuously, sodium (salt) replacement is necessary. If you consume enough sodium at a meal prior to exercising, sodium rehydration Fiery Furnace Corps was organized in an effort to help park rangers contact and educate visitors about the sensitive nature of the area. It has been a very successful program; the Furnace looks much better than ten years ago. What does the Fiery Furnace Corps do? There is something, for everybody! One doesnt have to be a super- hiker to volunteer. Some members station themselves at the entrance to the Furnace and check to see if people have obtained the required permit: no hiking required. Others rove through the Furnace checking groups permits and educating those who are not following the rules: lots of hiking in an incredible place. The choice is yours, but either way you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping protect an aweinspiring section of the park. The Corps operates all year, but the main season is March, April and May. Eight hours a month for each of those months is all that is required to earn a pass to the parks. So, for a investment in a beautiful setting, you can get into local parks FREE for most of the year. Of course, if you want to donate more time the corps would love to have you! Last year alone volunteers put in 650 hours. Interested? Want more information? Call Murray Shoemaker at Arches National 24-ho- ur Park 2.
