The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read®

What would Saturday mornings be like without our favorite cartoons? This week,

Tidbits brings you Part One of a look at some of our long-time favorites, guaranteed to inspire more than a few good memories.

u TV Guide has ranked Bugs Bunny as the greatest cartoon character of all time. Homer Simpson is No. 2 on the list, and Rocky and Bullwinkle hold the No. 3 slot. u Beep! Beep! Wile E. Coyote started chasing the Roadrunner across the Southwestern desert in 1949. The coyote’s pursuit involved many complex contraptions manufactured by the Acme Corporation, but his elaborate schemes were foiled every time. He regularly caught on fire, was run over and plummeted to the bottom of a canyon in his attempts to nail the elusive bird. The coyote’s creator, Chuck Jones, used the same design for another cartoon character known as Ralph Wolf. Each work day, Ralph and Sam Sheepdog punched into a time clock, exchanged pleasant greetings, and spent the day battling each other over a flock of sheep. Although the two characters’ designs were nearly identical, the coyote’s nose was black, while Ralph’s was red. u Wearing a Roman soldier’s uniform of helmet and skirt, Marvin the Martian was modeled after Mars, the Roman god of war. He was forever trying to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, but his efforts were outwitted every time by the clever Bugs Bunny. These failed attempts made him “very angry, very angry indeed.”u In the midst of the Cold War, the world of cartoons had its token Russian spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. These bumbling villains attempted to do the will of their Fearless Leader, such as stealing secret rocket fuel formulas. All the while, Natasha called everyone “dollink” as Boris snapped, “Sharrup

Did you receive a $250 check from the government? Chances are that means you’re in the no-man’s land of the doughnut hole — also called the Medicare Part D coverage gap — along with the 300,000 others who also received the check. The money is to help with drug costs.The Medicare coverage gap works like this: You must spend $2,830 for your deductible and drugs. Once you reach this amount, the doughnut hole kicks in, and there’s no more help until you pay $4,550 out of pocket. Then your coverage starts again. Once you hit that amount, the government will send you a check for $250 in about six weeks.Thankfully, this amount is going to go up. Until 2020, the Affordable Care Act dictates that the doughnut hole will get smaller and smaller until it disappears. And soon those who get Medicare and who are in the doughnut hole will be able to get a 50 percent discount on certain medications.Meanwhile, if you’re in the doughnut hole, there are a few ways to get help. Ask your doctor if you

can switch to generics. Find out if any drug companies are offering help with the cost of your drug at the Patient Assistance Program. Put that name in the search box at www.medicare.gov. Also check the state program. If your income is very low, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 for help programs.Beware the scammers, as usual. They’re trying to convince seniors that the check won’t arrive without an application, which the scammers will fill out for a fee. Meanwhile, they’ll ask for your personal information, bank account number and Social Security number. Don’t fall for it. If anyone approaches you with this offer, report them. Call 1-800-633-4227 (the Medicare number) as well as your local police.

Composting is one of the best things you can do for your garden. Putting your egg shells, vegetable peels and other organic matter in the garden can enrich the fertility of your soil, promote plants’ root development, and boost the soil’s ability to hold water. It’s also an alternative to chemical fertilizers. All that along with reducing landfill waste!

Thought of the Week“To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.”

— Paul Ehrlich

z It was American actress and comedian Lily Tomlin who made the following sage observation: “Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.”z According to Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the abdominal thrust technique known as the Heimlich Maneuver, the food upon which people most commonly choke is peanut butter straight out of the jar.z Astronauts on the International Space Station see the sun rise every 90 minutes.z You’ve probably heard that Eskimos have 50 words for different types of snow, but you might not realize that their language doesn’t have a word for just plain snow.z You might recall Glenn Ford, an actor from Hollywood’s Golden Era, from such films as “3:10 to Yuma,” “Blackboard Jungle” and “The Big Heat.” You probably didn’t know, though, that when he was born in Quebec he was named Gwyllyn Samuel Newton

Ford. The inspiration for his stage name was the town of Glenford, Canada.z Those who study such things say that every day in the world, 62 square miles of land becomes desert.z When groups of shrimp end up with too few males to sustain the population, some of the females turn into males.z Michael Crichton is best known as an author and screenwriter, and most of his fans are aware of the fact that he was a medical doctor, as well. It’s interesting to note, however, that as an undergraduate student he majored in anthropology.z If you’re like 80 percent of Americans, you will experience some kind of back trouble at least once in your lifetime.z Businesswoman Mary Kay Ash, before she founded the Mary Kay Cosmetics empire, sold encyclopedias door-to-door.

Avoid Window StrikesTo prevent birds from crashing into your windows, place feeders and bird baths at least 3 feet away from windows. A couple other things that may work are putting exterior vertical tape stripes about 4 inches apart on windows, or soaping windows to cut down on reflections.

Dog’s Marking Doesn’t Do Deck Any FavorsBy Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have two 2-year-old neutered canine brothers (I found out after the fact that it is not a good idea to get them from the same litter). They have lots of forested room to roam, but “Jake” — the dominant one — occasionally insists on peeing on the deck. I can’t catch him at it. Why does he do that, and how can I get him to stop? — Carolyn V., via e-mailDEAR CAROLYN: That can be tough to stop, since the deck is often considered part of the family living area for everyone, including the dogs. You’ll need to regain control of the deck area and remind Jake who’s boss.Whenever the dogs are off-leash, roaming through the yard and woods, block access to the deck and don’t allow them on until you have called them up the steps and clipped a leash on Jake and his brother. You may want to have a second person leash the less-dominant dog.Jake may, at this time, attempt to tug himself over to his usual marking spot, and drag you

with him. Give him a firm “no” and order him to sit and stay.At this time you can take his brother inside the house while you work with Jake. For the next several days or weeks, the deck is going to become Training Central. Work with Jake and his brother, separately. Whenever Jake begins to sniff around or tries to mark something, firmly tell him “no” and continue giving him basic obedience commands. When he follows your commands, and especially when he stops sniffing and obeys rather than tries to mark, give him lots of praise and treats (if you choose).To further discourage marking, clean the areas he has marked and treat with an odor neutralizer.

CARTOONS (continued):you mouth!” Natasha was voiced by June Foray, whose other credits include Dudley Do-Right’s lady friend Nell Fenwick, Rocky the flying squirrel, Tweety’s owner Granny and Lucifer the Cat in Disney’s 1950 production “Cinderella.”u The Jetsons were just an average family living in the year 2062. Their home in Orbit City’s Skypad Apartments was filled with futuristic, labor-saving devices. George Jetson’s work life consisted of pushing a computer button three hours a day, three days a week at Spacely Space Sprockets. Jane was assisted in her wifely duties by the robot maid Rosie. The series, produced between 1962 and 1963, was the first program on ABC to be broadcast in color.u “Ruh-roh!” became a common expression after it was frequently used by the Jetsons’ dog Astro. Voice actor Don Messick was the source for “Rats Rall Right, Reorge!” You might recognize his voice as that of other cartoon dogs Scooby-Doo and Muttley.u A 1945 cartoon entitled “Hare Trigger” introduced a cantankerous red-haired cowboy with an extreme dislike of rabbits. After several cartoons featuring the meek and mild Elmer Fudd as Bugs Bunny’s adversary, Yosemite Sam was created as a more formidable foe who was not so easily put off. With six-guns in hand, Sam frequently thundered at Bugs, “Say your prayers, Varmint!” He was voiced by Mel Blanc, who had undergone a spell of road rage on the day he came up with Sam’s voice and merely screamed at the top of his lungs. u Known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices,” Mel Blanc was the voice behind many of our

favorites, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Woody Woodpecker, Speedy Gonzales, Barney Rubble, Pepe LePew and George Jetson’s boss Mr. Spacely. He set a record of the longest voiceover, having spoken for Daffy Duck for 52 years. The inscription on Blanc’s gravestone appropriately reads, “That’s All, Folks.” u “I yam what I yam,” is muttered in a gravelly voice by a rough and ready, muscular sailor with anchor tattoos. Popeye was created in 1929 as a comic strip by E.C. Segar but didn’t hit the movie screen until 1933. The woman of his dreams, Olive Oyl and her brother Castor Oyl, were on the scene 10 years before Popeye. u Popeye was well known for eating spinach for strength, and he sang, “I’m strong to the finich, ‘cause

I eats me spinach.” He was so popular during the 1930s that there was a 33-percent increase in spinach consumption during that decade. The sailor’s family members included his adopted baby son Baby Swee’ Pea, nephews Pipeye, Pupeye, Poopeye, and Peepeye, and father Poopdeck Pappy. Hamburger-loving Wimpy and the bully Bluto completed the cast. November 18, 1928, is considered the birthday of Mickey Mouse. It’s the day he debuted in “Steamboat Willie” at New York City’s Colony Theater. Starring as a riverboat deckhand, Mickey’s voice was that of Walt Disney himself. Mickey had actually appeared six months earlier in a cartoon short entitled “Plane Crazy” with Minnie Mouse at his side, but “Willie” was the first of his cartoons with sound. Mickey didn’t appear in color until 1935. He went on to star in more

Hiring ContraCtors for remodeling

If you have a remodeling project in mind, late summer is a good time to line up your contractors. Construction crews are coming to the end of their busy season and looking for work to keep themselves going over the cooler months, especially the winter.Before you begin: Take written bids from at least three contractors. Be detailed in your specifications when it comes to the type of wood you want, the model and color of cabinets, the number of coats of a specific paint, etc.Ask for references of any contractors you interview, of course, and call them. Ask if the project was completed on time and at the promised cost. But don’t stop there. While it’s still warm and crews are out, drive around your area and make note of the addresses of homes where work is being done, as well as the company name and phone number of any work vehicles in the yard. When the projects are complete, approach the homeowners and ask whether they were satisfied with the work. They might even show you around to see the completed project.Make sure any contract you write is for a fixed price that includes materials and labor. That way you know the bottom line. If you sign a standard contract, read it carefully. Remember: If it’s not in writing, it doesn’t exist. Don’t agree to any clause that can change the deadline, price or materials on your job.While it’s tempting to save money by acting as your own general contractor, you may be happier in the long run if you hire a residential general contractor with the expertise to order supplies and hire and schedule sub-contractors. Remember that while the general contractor will be responsible for a lot of things, you can’t step completely out of the process. With liability insurance and workers’ comp, for example, all crews who step foot on your property need to produce a copy of their certificate before they begin work. When new materials show up, be there when it’s being unloaded and look for damaged or missing material. The general contractor also is responsible for paying the sub-contractors, so you need to require a performance bond to be in place for all levels of contractors.

G Entering 2010, who held the ATP record for most wins by a doubles combination?


Jeff Gordon’s hometown could be considered Vallejo, Calif., where he was born, or Pittsboro, Ind., where he grew up.

Based on his record there, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is another place where Gordon feels right at home. He has won NASCAR’s annual visit to the Brickyard a record four times. (As an aside, Gordon has won five times at Infineon Raceway, the track closest to his birthplace.)Gordon’s most recent Indy victory occurred in 2004. In the five races since then, though, Jimmie Johnson has won three times and Tony Stewart twice. Forty-eight races have passed since Gordon’s last victory anywhere. He won at Texas Motor Speedway on April 5, 2009.Still, a winless Gordon is better than most drivers who have won multiple races this year…literally. Gordon, 38, ranks second in the Sprint Cup point standings, trailing only Kevin Harvick, and has more top-five finishes (10) than any other driver.“Our team’s been consistently running up front,” said

Gordon. “We just haven’t had the car to win or all the pieces as a team to get ourselves into victory lane.“At times we’ve had the car. For whatever reasons — blame it on me, blame it on incidents, I don’t like to point fingers — but we haven’t gotten to victory lane.…

Former NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon (right, with team owner Rick Hendricks) is second in

the standings despite not winning a race. (John Clark/NASCAR This Week photo)

High Hopes For Jeff GordonWe think we’ve got some things up our sleeve for Indy, but I’m sure that’s what a lot of guys out there are thinking.”Only five drivers — Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarbrough — have ever won more races at NASCAR’s highest level than Gordon. Three more victories would put him ahead of everyone except Petty and Pearson. But it’s been “82 and holding” ever since the 2009 Texas victory.Some have speculated that the end of Gordon’s career is near. He disputes this.“Man, I do (feel old) when I get out of that race car and everything aches,” he said, “but no, I mean, I’m still enjoying the sport very, very much. I feel like I’m way more comfortable with where I’m at in the sport today. That’s fun. I like all the years of experience that now I get to benefit from.“The only thing I’d change right now is getting some of those wins back. It’s tough. It’s very competitive. We know we’ve got to pick up the pace.”

CARTOONS (continued):than 120 different cartoons, and was voiced by Disney until 1946. Mickey was the first cartoon character to receive a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. u A different kind of mouse regularly defended the citizens of Mouseville. Wearing a yellow jersey and red cape, inspired by the Superman character, Mighty Mouse came to the rescue, singing, “Here I come to save the day!” This superhero squelched the threats of villain Oil Can Harry against the townspeople, and more specifically, his girlfriend Pearl Pureheart. u A similarly-named sweetheart, Sweet Polly Purebred, was the love interest of the endearing Shoeshine Boy. When danger was imminent, the Boy quietly slipped into a nearby phone booth and retrieved a Super Vitamin Pill from his ring’s secret compartment, exiting the booth as Underdog. Polly was a TV reporter, who could be heard pleading, “Oh where, oh where, has my Underdog gone?”u Chrysler paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the privilege of using the cartoon image of the Road Runner on the side of the Plymouth Road Runner muscle car, which began manufacture in 1968. They also expended $10,000 to develop a horn with a “Beep, Beep!” sound effect.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am confused about how much water to drink when exercising in hot weather. I learned that you should drink all the time during exercise, even when you aren’t thirsty. Now they tell me that drinking too much affects your brain and can cause death. What’s the story here? — M.F.

ANSWER: This has to be one of those “it depends” answers. How much water or any other fluid is needed in hot weather depends on how hard is the exercise, how long you do it, how heavily you sweat, how hot it is and how acclimatized you are to heat. It takes two weeks to acclimatize to heat. After two weeks, less sodium and potassium are lost in sweat.

Formerly, the advice for fluids was to drink frequently even if you didn’t feel thirsty. That’s overkill. You can let thirst be your guide most of the time. Older people have a somewhat blunted thirst sense, so they might have to remind themselves to drink in exceptionally hot weather.

To stay hydrated during heavy physical activity or exercise, drink 12 to 16 ounces of fluid three to four hours before exercise. The fluid can be plain water. It’s also a good idea to take a salty snack before exercise — pretzels, peanuts or crackers.

During activity, drink about every 20 minutes, as much as your thirst tells you.

If your activity lasts longer than two or three hours and if you sweat heavily, then you have to pay attention to your salt intake. Marathon runners taught us this. A few marathoners died from drinking only water during hot-weather races. Doing so lowers body sodium. That’s hyponatremia, and it can be serious. Headache, vomiting, swollen ankles and feet, fatigue far out of the fatigue usually felt and disorientation are some of the signs of hyponatremia.

Sports drinks with sodium in them can prevent hyponatremia. You can make your own replacement fluid by adding 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon orange juice to an almost-filled 8-ounce glass of water. You have to make enough to last for the whole exercise session.

Help!It’s Not Too Late

August FeAtured BusinessWilliams Appliance repair is owned and operated by long time island resident, Carl Williams. Carl has been in the appliance repair business for 15 years. Two and a half years ago he opened his own appliance repair company. Carl’s main clientele comes from property management companies but, with the help of Tidbits, his residential business has been growing significantly. Customers reading Tidbits have called him while eating breakfast out because their refrigerators are broken or while doing laundry at a laundromat because their washers or dryers are broken.

“I virtually had no residential clients until my ad appeared in Tidbits. I now get numerous phone calls per week and I’m very happy about that. The best part is that the calls that come in from Tidbits will generally be repeat customers down the line,” says Carl.

Denise Hatcher, general manager of Main Street Inn & Spa comments, “As for Carl, I would say he is the one call that does it all for appliances. I asked him to look at our freezer that had just died the morning he attended a BNI meeting at the hotel and within an hour he had us fixed. Service with a smile.”

What makes Williams Appliance repair unique? “Me!” says Carl. “I’m personable, knowledge, dependable and offer fair prices.”

What’s in the future for Williams Appliance repair? Carl plans to open a refurbished appliance company on the island to provide rental companies with low-cost, quality appliance replacements for their units.
