What is Tidbits?

MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued):• Most folks know that Mount Vesuvius de-stroyed the city of Pompeii in 79 A.D., with a death toll estimated at 16,000. The cloud of vol-canic ash reached heights of 20.5 miles (33 km) and a flow of molten rock and pumice at a rate of 1.5 million tons per second The rapidly-fall-ing ash made it difficult to breathe with millions of tons quickly burying the city, resulting in a well-preserved scene of the ancient city’s life. Strangely enough, pockets of air within the ash hardened around the victims, enabling excava-tors to pour plaster into the openings forming a mold for the remains. The ruins were discovered in 1748 by a surveying engineer during the dig-ging of a water line. Excavation on the ruins be-gan, with archaeologists finding loaves of bread and jars of fruit preserves still intact. The project has continued for more than 260 years, the lon-gest continually excavated site in the world. • About 250 years into the excavation of Pom-peii, nearly 1,050 casts had been created from impressions of bodies found in the ash. It’s be-lieved that nearly one-third of the city still lies buried. In 1980, 300 more bodies were found in nearby Herculaneum. • One eyewitness account survived from the 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius, that of Pliny the Younger, who observed the tragedy from across the Bay of Naples. Pliny, a Roman statesman, documented the details of the death of his un-cle, who was attempting to rescue people dur-ing the early stages of the eruption. Pliny later interviewed survivors and recorded the informa-tion in letters to his historian friend. Those who study volcanoes use the term “Plinian” to refer to large volcanic eruptions in which streams of gas and ash are violently sent to a height of sev-eral miles.

MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued):• There have been many eruptions since the anni-hilation of Pompeii, at least once every century, although none has been as large as the 79 A.D. eruption. Vesuvius erupted at least six times in the 12th and 18th centuries, and eight times during the 1800s. The 20th century experienced three eruptions with the most recent in 1944, when a two-week-long eruption occurred. American air-men were stationed at the Pompeii Airfield dur-ing World War II, a few miles from the base of the volcano, and fled when the eruption began, leaving behind 88 aircraft, all of which were a total loss. Twelve lives were lost as a result of this eruption. • Today the slopes of Vesuvius are covered with heavy vegetation and shrubs, and vineyards have been planted. Although its current activity seems to produce nothing but occasional steam from vents at the bottom of the crater, geologists who study the mountain maintain that it is a very dan-gerous volcano that will erupt again. Because it is the most densely-populated volcanic region in the world, with more than 3 million people living within 20 miles of the crater, an eruption today will be much more devastating than previ-ous ones. While the 79 A.D. eruption destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, many cities would now be buried, including Naples, which is Eu-rope’s 9th most populated urban area and Italy’s 4th largest urban economy. • In 1995, the Italian government officially de-clared the area around the volcano a national park, thereby prohibiting further building in an attempt to reduce the population in the danger zone. They have demolished illegally construct-ed buildings and even offered financial incen-tives to citizens for moving away.

MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued):• Tourists are allowed access by road to 660 feet (200 m) of Vesuvius’ summit, and a spiral walk-way continues around the mountain from there to the crater.• Scientists consider a volcano to be active if it has erupted within the last 10,000 years. There are about 1,500 worldwide that meet this criteria, with most along the Pacific Ring of Fire. About 50 erupt each year. More than 160 volcanoes in the United States fit in the active category, the majority of those in the Cascade Range, stretch-ing from southern British Columbia to northern California. • Indonesia has 130 active volcanoes, includ-ing Mount Tambora, responsible for the most violent eruption in recorded history, In 1815, Tambora’s eruption resulted in an estimated 71,000 deaths in an explosion heard more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) away. It produced such climate-changing effects that 1816 was known as “the year without a summer.” Indonesia’s Mt. Krakatoa erupted in 1883, killing 36,000 and de-stroying two-thirds of the island. It has erupted as recently as 2008. • Geologists consider Mt. Rainier “potentially the most dangerous” mainland U.S. volcano, with 3.2 million people living in its vicinity, al-though it hasn’t erupted since the 1840s. Also within the Cascade Range, Mt. St. Helen’s 1980 eruption was one of the U.S.’s worst, killing 57. It reawakened in 2004 with four explosions send-ing steam and ash 10,000 feet (3048 m) above its crater. • There are five active volcanoes in Hawaii. Kilauea is one of the world’s most frequently ac-tive volcanoes, having erupted 62 times in 245 years. It has been erupting continuously since 1983. Mauna Loa has erupted 15 times 1900, most recently in 1984.

When you think of hibernating bears, you typi-cally imagine some cozy cave in the woods, right? Well, the next time you’re out for a winter hike, you’d better pay close attention to exactly where you’re going; some bears spend the cold season curled up on the ground in large nests made of branches.

People who sustain brain injuries can suffer from a variety of maladies. One of the stranger ones is anosognosia. The victim suffers from some sort of disability, such as losing the ability to move a limb, but that’s not unusual; what makes ano-sognosia so fascinating is that the person suffer-ing from the limitation seems completely unable to believe that any limitation exists, despite vo-luminous evidence to the contrary.

WHAT DO BUTTERFLIES, THE BRAINAND THE GUT HAVE IN COMMON?Most people when they need to get in front of an audience, take a critical test, or have to confront an undesirable situation, experience "butterflies" in their stomach, or worse yet, diarrhea. It turns out that there is a definitive reason for that. There is a two-way highway buzzing about in our bodies, called the "Gut-Brain". Stimuli that affect the brain, also affects the gut, and vice versa. We have an amazing hidden brain, or "second brain" - our gut. Scientists have discovered that the digestive system (the esophagus, stomach, and both small and large intestines) have a nervous sys-tem all of their own. In fact, there are more neurons (100 million of them) in the gut brain than in the brain in our head!There are also many of the same substances in our gut as in our brain that control function, and in particular, emotional health. The major "brain hormones", called neurotransmitters, such as sero-tonin, dopamine, glutamate, norepinephrine and nitric oxide, are also produced in the gut. About 2 dozen small brain proteins (called neuropeptides), previously known to be only in the brain, are also present in the gut. So when we use expressions like "I had a gut feeling..." or "that makes me sick" (while holding the stomach), referring to an emotionally triggered event, all points to the psycho-logical involvement of the gut-brain. Dr Michael Gershon, a professor of anatomy and cell biology at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New-York, says that “the brain in the gut plays a major role in human happiness and misery, but few people know it exists".This two-way system means that the health of the gut will affect the health of the brain, and the health of the brain will affect the health of the gut. Drugs used for the brain have an effect on the gut, as well as the other way around. Command neurons and other neural components found in the brain and gut affect the immune system, sleep, muscle contractions, and of course, digestion.How is this information helpful to us? Since studies show that over 40% of office visits to doctors are for gastrointestinal disorders, understanding how emotions affect the gut and how poor gut health affects mental health, we can provide more specific direction. If for nothing else, when GI complaints don't show up pathologi-cally on the traditional tests, and patients are told "it’s all in their heads", blaming mental/emotional factors, we can instead, understand the connection.

1. What is “I’ll Follow the Sun” about, and who released it?2. Where did the Mindbenders’ Wayne Fontana get his stage name?3. Who released “Little Children,” and when?4. “Angie” was on which Rolling Stones album?5. Name the 1968 song that contains this lyric: “And they wile away the hours in their ivory towers, Till they’re covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine.”

Answers1. The 1964 Beatles song tells the story of a breakup. It was recorded in 1960 but not re-leased because it didn’t fit the image they had at the time.2. Born Glyn Geoffrey Ellis, he took his name from Elvis Presley’s drummer, D.J. Fontana.3. Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, in 1964. Kramer had the same manager as the Beatles, Brian Epstein, and recorded some of the Beatles’ songs, including the b-side to this one, “Bad to Me.”4. “Goats Head Soup,” in 1973.5. “Games People Play,” by Joe South. The song is likely a reference to a book on transactional analysis (TA) by Eric Berne. The book talks about the games people play in their interactions or transactions, where someone has to win or lose.

Niacin’s Dark SideWe can add one more item to the list of things we thought were good for us ... and now know probably aren’t: niacin, aka vitamin B-3.Many of us with troublesome cholesterol levels have been on statins to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. Niacin has been added to our list of go-to drugs for many years because when combined with statins, it is known to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol and raise the level of the good (HDL) cholesterol. So far, so good.However, new research reported in The New England Journal of Medicine has determined that: 1) statins alone do a good job of prevent-ing strokes and heart attacks, and 2) just because niacin has helped folks achieve better LDL and HDL numbers doesn’t mean that it helps to pre-vent strokes and heart attacks.Turns out it doesn’t.Even worse, niacin can have its own set of side effects. Some are merely annoying (flushing, which can be offset by pairing niacin with la-ropiprant), while others are serious (gastroin-testinal problems, bleeding, rashes and ulcers). Those in the study who took niacin were 32 per-cent more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes. One-third of participants dropped out because of problems caused by the niacin. An earlier clini-cal study was actually stopped when research-ers found there was no difference between the niacin and a placebo, and discovered the same side effects.If you’ve been prescribed niacin to go along with your statins for heart-attack or stroke pre-vention, talk to your doctor about whether you should continue to use it. At the same time, don’t try this on your own! Get medical advice before either starting or stopping therapeutic doses of niacin.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“The Railway Man” (R) -- Eric Lomax (Colin Firth) lives a quiet life with a beautiful woman who adores him (Nicole Kidman) and his hobby -- he’s a train enthusiast. Forty years before, he was an English soldier in the Pacific front, captured by Japanese forces, tortured and forced to work on a railroad. In the 1980s, one of Eric’s old comrades gives him a tip; he’s found the Japanese officer responsible for much of their torment. The quiet Englishman is caught between trauma and love, revenge and forgiveness. While the story is unquestionably powerful -- it’s based on Lomax’s autobiography -- the direction of the film goes for the understated, sometimes to a fault. This movie can prove thoughtful and satisfying, if you’re patient with the storytelling.

“Locke” (R) -- Want to spend 90 minutes stuck in a car next to a driver constantly yelling and being yelled at via hands-free phone? Sounds lame? What if it’s actually a tight dramatic thriller expertly handled by one very talented actor? Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy, from “Dark Knight Rises” and “War-rior”) is speeding through London at night trying to do the right thing -- a one-night stand is giving birth, his wife and children are upset, and a multi-million dollar project at work is imploding. The whole time, all you see and hear is just Hardy in the driver’s seat.It works. Once you’re strapped in for the ride, the movie keeps you fixed. Hardy is praised for his fantastic physical performances -- Bane in “Dark Knight Rises,” and a charmingly psychotic prisoner in “Bronson” -- but here he proves that he can carry a whole movie while sitting down.

DOGS OF THE WEEK“Rage” (R) -- The Cage has come unhinged! Nicolas Cage! He’s loose, and he’s so pissed. Nick Cage plays a put-together businessman with a dark past he can’t erase. Bad guys come for his daughter, and Cage must go on the obligatory paternal rampage to get her back -- or at least get re-venge. He shoots his way past thugs, shouts his way past horrendous accents, and grimaces as hard as he’s ever grimaced, but it’s all for naught. It’s not a thrilling revenge flick. You’ll spend the last act wishing you could escape The Cage.

“Frankie and Alice” (R) -- A gorgeous go-go dancer (Halle Berry) suffers from blackouts and epi-sodes of inexplicable behavior. Turns out she has some other people living in her head -- a 7-year-old genius and a racist Southern belle. Multiple personality stories are so last decade, and this one doesn’t do anything to stand out from the melodrama. The film was finished several years ago, had a super-short limited release in 2010, then was kept under wraps until now. Let that be a clue.

Supplement of the WeekNeuroMag by Designs for HealthHaving trouble remembering where you left your keys? Forgot the name of an acquaintance?

A new study suggests that increasing your intake of magnesium, an essential mineral found in dark leafy vegetables and certain fruits, beans, and nuts, may help combat memory lapses associated with aging.

Magnesium deficiency is well know to produce neuropathologies, and since magnesium is depleted by stress, sweating, alcohol consumption and many medications, it’s no wonder so many of us are deficient.

Anxiety disorders, such as phobias and post traumatic stress disorder, are among the most common mental disorders and are associated with magnesium deficiency.But not all magnesium is the same! NeuroMag, by designs for health, features the unique, patented, chelated mineral Magtein (magnesium L-threonate). This form has been found superior to other forms of magnesium at getting through the blood brain barrier and is able to transport magnesium ions across lipid membranes, including brain cells. What does it all mean?!?!!!NeuroMag may support:-Recall-Relaxation-Sleep-Cognition-Age-related memory decline (Alzheimer’s)-Post traumatic stress disorder-Anxiety-Phobias-ADHD-Depression-Anti-aging

Ask one of the friendly staff at Healthy Living Liberty Lake about NeuroMag.

Dr Ashley is board certified in Family Medicine and in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. She provides a mix of traditional with alternative medicine and specializes in bio-identical hormones for both men and women.

An example: the drug Provigil, made by Cepha-lon, paid 4 drug companies 200 million dollars to guarantee they wouldn't make Provigil for 6 more years. This is pocket change to Cephalon, since they make a half billion dollars a year from the drug.

And have you ever noticed, when a drug is about to go generic, the cost of it sky- rockets? The year before Provigil was about to go generic, the price jumped from 300 to 700 a month.

The FTC filed suit against Cephalon in 2008, but there has yet to even be a trial!

And why does a drug that cost $100 in the US of A cost $20 in Canada and $2.00 in Mexico? Because of the very strong and influential lobby-ing of Big Pharma.

To even begin to take control of the cost of health care in our country, we must reign in the pharmaceutical companies and lower the cost of our medications. Because people shouldn't have to wipe out their bank accounts to pay for their meds.

Big PharmaThe big pharmaceu-ticals are at it again. They complain and moan about how high the cost of research is to make you believe this is the reason they have to charge so much for their drugs. Despite farming out a lot of their research to poor countries over-seas for pennies on the dollar.

Then they come out with a pill that will cure Hepatitis C and have the gall to charge 1000$ per pill! Total

cost of treatment is an estimated 80,000$ , all be-cause they know they have no competition and can get away with it.

Now, a new report that just came in that reveals yet another way to deceive the public and make us pay even more for our meds. Big Pharma is spending millions of dollars per year to keep ge-neric drug manufacturers from making generic meds once the patents have expired.

“Every member of our family has a plastic bin in his/her closet to hold items not currently in use. For the littler ones, it’s hand-me-downs that are still a little too big. For my husband and my-self, it’s out of season items. And for everyone, there is a bin in the garage where we place use-able items that no longer fit. Whenever it’s full, we either donate it or start planning our next tag sale.” -- A.E. in Massachusetts

If you have to talk to someone at the cable com-pany, call on a Thursday (unless it’s urgent), as that’s the day they tend to have the fastest re-sponse times, experts say.

Use a salad spinner to gently “wring out” deli-cate hand washables. Remove excess water, and then hang dry or lay flat, according to the gar-ment’s instruction.

Here’s an oldie but a goodie! Iced coffee is at its best when brewed with twice the usual amount of ground coffee, because the coffee is diluted by the melting ice cubes. Or use regular-strength brewed ice coffee and serve over coffee ice cubes. They’re easy to prepare: Pour cool brewed coffee into ice-cube trays and freeze.

Clear bins make it easy to group like items in your pantry. You can remove the bin, get what you need and replace it rather than digging through cans and boxes on a shelf and having to straighten it back up when you’re done.

Can Cat and Parrots Survive Car Trip?DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a cat and two budgies, and I am moving several states away. I plan to drive and bring all three with me. I’m worried that “Tiger” will stress out the budgies, though. Can I keep the peace between these pets? -- A Reader, via email

DEAR READER: One way, maybe the best way, to travel with pets of different species is to keep them out of sight of one another, and under control.Tiger should be placed in a carrier with a favor-ite blanket and toys to keep him occupied. The birds should stay in their cage (or if necessary, a smaller travel cage). The change of location and the car’s motion could be stressors as well, so minimize their exposure by covering the cage while you’re driving.And do not leave your pets alone in the car, even for a few minutes, and even if the weather seems cool. I know I’ve repeated this advice all sum-mer, but I see incidents several times per week on the news, so many owners still don’t realize the danger. The temperature in a hot car can rise very quickly, even with the windows opened a bit.So plan your trip carefully. At each rest stop, take the birds’ cage outside and uncover it in a shady area so they can get some fresh air. Take Tiger’s carrier out, or if he’s a well-behaved cat, put him on a leash (while he’s still in the car so he doesn’t escape) and let him explore a safe, shady area.If Tiger is a terror in the car -- yowling or other-wise being stressed -- talk to his vet beforehand about medicating him to keep him calm during the journey.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:DONALD SUTHERLANDWe’ve seen him as an alien hunter, a Civil War General, astronaut, a reverend, villain, and lov-ing father. Let’s examine the 50+-year career of famous Canadian Donald Sutherland. • Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Suther-land was a sickly child, struggling with rheumat-ic fever, hepatitis, and polio myelitis. He spent many of his younger years in Nova Scotia, with his first part-time job there as a radio announc-er at age 14. While in high school, Sutherland appeared in a few stage productions, carrying this interest on at the University of Toronto. He graduated with a double major, engineering and drama, with intentions of a career as an engi-neer, however, changed his mind and headed for London in 1957 to attend that city’s Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. • Sutherland had his first role in a 1963 British film, and after several other small parts, he land-ed a major role in 1967. After another actor had dropped out of the filming of The Dirty Dozen, Sutherland was offered the part in the popular film which was the fifth highest grossing film of the year. Two years later, he was once again a soldier in both the smash hit M*A*S*H* (as Hawkeye Pierce) and Kelly’s Heroes, along with Clint Eastwood. His career received another boost in 1971 with his role as a private detective opposite Jane Fonda in Klute, and as a grieving father in the Oscar-winning Ordinary People in 1980. • Sutherland made an error in judgment in 1978 when picked to star as Professor Dave Jennings in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He was offered the choice of a salary of $40,000 up front or a percentage of the film’s income. Because he doubted the success factor of the movie, he chose the $40,000, and Animal House went on to gross $141,600,000.

Mystery Illness Killing VetsWhat IS this mysterious illness that’s killing veterans?Story 1: In Kentucky, an Army veteran died in 2013 at the Department of Veterans Affairs hos-pital. According to his mother’s Facebook page, the death certificate said, “The ultimate etiology of his illness that led to his passing is still un-known.”It seems like doctors would have given this ob-viously ill veteran special care. As usual, the devil is in the details. On her Facebook page, the mother talks of medical staff forcing her bed-ridden son to “sign a contract” agreeing to do whatever staff said ... under threat of withhold-ing progressive treatment. She talks of being told he was only “taking up space.” She tells of care meetings being canceled, nurses ignoring emergency alarms, and open, hand-size wounds on his back.He weighed 72 pounds when he died. He left a wife and two young sons.Story 2: In Alabama, a veteran is desperate not to starve to death. After three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he knew he had PTSD and went to the VA with symptoms that include extreme nausea and vomiting. He eventually lost his job and his fiancee over it. VA doctors couldn’t put a name on his illness. Their solution: Cut a hole in his stomach so he can feed himself Boost milk-shakes with a stomach pump as his only nutri-tion. VA officials then said it’s not their problem, so they wouldn’t pay for his stomach pump or sup-plies anymore because it’s past the “authorized service period.”Now that the veteran has shrunk from 267 pounds down to 130, they’re going to do some more tests.The VA has a page that describes these unex-plained illnesses, saying they’re presumptive for service connection. Undiagnosed illness with abnormal weight loss is listed.Why can’t they figure out what this is?Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader ques-tions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

DONALD SUTHERLAND (continued):

• A stream of steady roles has continued for de-cades for Sutherland, including Cold Mountain, Pride & Prejudice, and The Italian Job. Although he is nearing 80, his popularity remains, as evi-denced most recently by his appearance in The Hunger Games films as President Snow. • Sutherland has frequently been cast in the role of a villain. At one point, when being considered for a great role, he was told by the producers, “Sorry, you’re the best actor, but this part calls for a guy-next-door type. You don’t look as if you’ve ever lived next door to anyone.” • Sutherland has paid tribute to his favorite di-rectors by naming his sons after them. Kiefer is named after Warren Kiefer who directed Suther-land in his first feature film. His son Roeg takes his name from director Nicolas Roeg, while Ros-sif is named after French director Frederic Ros-sif. The middle name of Sutherland’s son Angus is Redford after Robert Redford. • Although he has had more than 150 roles in various productions over 50 years, Sutherland has never received an Oscar. He has won an Emmy, Golden Globes, and stars on both the Hollywood and Canadian Walks of Fame. • Sutherland has remained a Canadian citizen and maintains a home in Quebec. He was one of the flagbearers at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He is an officer in the Order of Canada, Canada’s highest civilian honor.

Dear Tamara ;I have been losing my hair for a while now. I have asked my hairdresser if there are any products out there that can help me solve my hair loss problem. My hairdresser put me on a product, but its been 8 months since I started this program and I have not seen any results yet. My question to you is ‘When can I start to see some hair growth instead of hair loss ????’Ms. Frustrated !!

Dear Ms. Frustrated,Losing your hair is very concerning not only to you, but to your hairdresser as well. There are so many products on the open market for hair loss all stating that they can stop your hair loss and grow back your hair. So many different chemicals that can produce hair growth, it will only work if you the client have the deficiency in your body chemistry along with what is in-side the hair follicle matches what this particu-lar hair loss product can do for you.

In other words, this product that you have de-cided to use must have the correct chemical balance for it too work on you.

Most products sold in a salon for hair loss, you must use the complete line of the hair loss product for it to have any results in growing your hair back - you can not use just one prod-uct in the hair loss line.

The time limit it takes to get your hair back with over the counter hair loss products can take a very long time. It took a long time to get to this point where you noticed your hair was falling out , it can take much longer for you

to get it back, if you do. At Tamara’s we work with a lot of salons all over, getting them the correct diagnosis of the hair loss for their cli-ent and the correct procedure for them to use on the client .

Always ask questions about the products or procedures you are considering on doing for your hair loss.

Summer Heat, Drought Take Toll on LawnQ: Every year I have to deal with brown and dy-ing grass, because the climate we live in gets so hot in the late summer. We also have water re-strictions to deal with. How can I keep my lawn healthy? -- Bryan in Norcross, Ga.

A: Dealing with watering restrictions and drought conditions has become a regular way of life in many Southern states, and it’s especially difficult for homeowners who want a green, lush lawn during a prime time of year for outdoor parties and other activities.Here are a few tips to make things easier on your lawn:¥ Encourage roots to go deep by watering only once a week. Watering every day or two leads to shallow roots that are much less able to with-stand drought. Your Southern lawn needs about an inch of water a week.Here’s how to find out how long to run your sprinklers to get that inch of water: During the next permitted watering time, take five empty tuna or cat food cans and set them on differ-ent parts of the lawn. Run the sprinklers for 30 minutes, then record the depth of the water in each can. Add those depths together and divide by five. Then adjust your watering time accord-ingly. For example, if you average a half inch of water in 30 minutes, you’ll need to water for one hour to get an inch.¥ Don’t mow stressed-out grass: A newly mowed lawn loses extra water through the cut grass blades. Wait until your lawn greens up again af-ter rain or watering.¥ Don’t water during the heat of the day; a lot of the water will evaporate before ever reaching the roots. Many communities with water restric-tions ban sprinkler use between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for just that reason.¥ Aerate older lawns to make it easier for water to get to the roots, instead of puddling or run-ning off.¥ Raise your lawnmower blades: Only cut the grass by one-third of its total height. Longer grass shades the soil and helps it better handle drought conditions.¥ Use less fertilizer during hot, dry conditions so that nitrogen levels stay low. Nitrogen encour-ages growth at a time your lawn needs to con-serve its resources.If watering restrictions routinely impact your lawn, you may need to take more drastic steps. Consider replacing or re-seeding with drought-resistant varieties. You also could re-landscape to reduce the size of the lawn, replacing much of it with drought-resistant plants and shrubs.

HOME TIP: Some types of lawn grass turn brown during droughts, but will recover once watering conditions normalize.

PAUL BUNYANAugust 10 is the date set aside to honor Paul Bu-nyan, the lumberjack of legend. Is this giant fact or fiction? We’ll probably never know! • Several places have laid claim as the birthplace of Paul Bunyan, including Michigan, Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and St. Eustache, Can-ada. Some tales are entirely imaginary, such as the myth that it took five storks to bring Bunyan to the world, and that he was nearly 8 feet tall (2.4 m) with a stride of 7 feet (2.1 m). One of the more logical tales tells of the role of lum-berjacks in Canada’s 1837 Papineau Rebellion. When French Canadians in the St. Lawrence River region rebelled against their new ruler, the Queen of England, many loggers armed with axes stepped up to battle English troops. A tall bearded bellowing man was among the loggers became famous for his part in the battle. • Tales of Bunyan’s heroics were told around loggers’ campfires for years to come, each one being embellished a bit more. By the 1880s, there wasn’t a logging camp that didn’t know the story of the giant. In 1910, writer James MacGillvray, who had worked in a Michigan camp, put the ac-counts on paper in the Detroit News Tribune. In 1914, the Red River Lumber Company of Min-neapolis used the image of a giant lumberjack and created a colossal blue ox as his compan-ion in an advertising pamphlet. Over 100,000 of the brochures were distributed and Bunyan’s popularity grew. A 1924 collection of tales by Esther Shephard and another anthology the fol-lowing year by James Stevens fueled the fire of the legend. Famed poet Carl Sandburg wrote that Bunyan lived “around the hot stoves of winter, among socks and mittens drying, in the smell of tobacco smoke and the roar of laughter mocking the outside weather.”

PAUL BUNYAN (continued):

• According to folklore, Bunyan formed the Great Lakes out of a need for a large enough watering hole for Babe the Blue Ox to drink from. He supposedly cleared North Dakota of its forests and Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were re-portedly formed by his and Babe’s footprints as they stumbled through a huge blizzard. When he called his fellow loggers to dinner in the camp, he did so by blowing through a hollow tree or bellowing loudly enough to cause limbs to fall from trees. His monumental logging camp was on the fictional Big Onion River.

• There are more than 200 roadside statues of Paul Bunyan across the United States and Cana-da, from California to Oregon to British Colum-bia to Idaho, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York. Perhaps the tallest is in Klamath, California, towering 49 feet (15 m) above that town’s Trees of Mystery attraction. A 35-ft.-tall (10.7 m) Babe stands beside him.

• Oscoda, Michigan, has declared itself Bunyan’s official home because James MacGillivray’s early documents came from there. But they need to get in line behind Bemidji, Minnesota, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Bangor, Maine.

• The state of Maine claims it has a birth certifi-cate. Hackensack, Minnesota maintains that Bu-nyan’s sweetheart Lucette hails from that com-munity and they have constructed a statue of her and their son, Paul, Jr. in a downtown park. Two places contend they are home to Bunyan’s grave – Kelliher, Minnesota, and Wausau, Wisconsin.

Q: What is a Teppan/Hiba-chi table, and why is it im-portant to Japanese cuisine?

A Teppanyaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan, which means iron plate, and yaki, which

means grilled, broiled or pan-fried. In Japan, teppanyaki refers to dishes cooked using an iron plate, including shrimp, chicken, steak, lobster, tofu, and assorted vegetables.Modern teppanyaki grills are typically propane-heated flat surface grills, and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at restaurants. Teppanyaki steakhouses place an emphasis on the chef performing a show for the diners, continuing to introduce new variations and tricks. The chef might juggle utensils, flip a shrimp tail into his shirt pocket, catch an egg in his hat, toss an egg up in the air and split it with a spatula, flip flattened shrimp pieces into the diners' mouths, or arrange onion rings into fire-shooting volcanoes.Teppanyaki is a fun and delicious culinary experience; great for a date or for a group din-ner. It must be tried to truly be appreciated.

www.tidbitscda.comTIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #33 August 11th Page 20Dear Auntie M.,

Please send your questions or comments to

[email protected]. I shall be frank and honest with my

response and provide resources where appropriate.

My sister makes me crazy. Jennifer lives in a beauti-ful home and has a husband who adores her and gives her whatever she wants. When Jennifer complained about having to clean her large home Jim hired a housekeeper. They have a lawn service, a decorator, and a handyman to fix or change things that Jennifer doesn’t like any longer, which is often as she is never happy for long with anything. Raising the kids was too stressful so Jim got her a nanny. Then, as soon as they were old enough they were shipped off to private school. Now Jennifer complains that the kids treat her like a stranger. Recently she told me she is thinking about divorcing Jim for a younger man who ‘adores her.’ Jennifer has never had to work or worry about a thing her whole life. She was born beautiful and our parents coddled and cosseted her until Jim took over. I look at Jennifer and her life and I am sickened that she would throw it all away. How can I stop Jennifer from this insanity and make her see how wonderful her life is?Anxious in Athol

Dear Anxious,It’s not uncommon for beautiful women to crave admiration. They add helplessness to make themselves more appealing. They can’t stand competition and have to be the center of atten-tion. Their needs are always more important and they work to keep it that way. Women like your sister often can’t love anyone but themselves. Jennifer is used to getting what she wants. If she thinks this guy is what she wants she could wreck everything to get him. Try talking to her but don’t be surprised if she can’t hear a word you say. In her mind she is being forced to do this - she can never be wrong, it just isn’t pos-sible in her world. I’d be more concerned about Jim and the children. You had to grow up with her but they’ve had to live with her. Perhaps this is what Jennifer needs to do - to lose her wonderful life in order to appreciate what she had. Some peo-ple get their lessons early in life, some later. Be as supportive as you can and don’t get caught up in the drama. She’s just bored and spoiled.
