TIDBITS® BRINGS YOUSUM-SUM-SUMMERTIME!by Kathy Wolfe

“Summertime, and the livin’ is easy” goes the old Gershwin song. This week, Tidbits brings out all kinds of summer facts to get you through these long, hot days. • “Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,” crooned Nat King Cole in 1963 when this catchy tune hit the Billboard charts. Cole further vocalized about a “romantic moon, bi-kinis, picnic baskets, soda, pretzels and beer,” closing out with, “You’ll wish that summer could always be here.” • Relatively unknown July observances include Anti-Boredom Month, National Baked Bean Month and National Tennis Month. And don’t forget National Tapioca Pudding Day on July 15! • August is the time to celebrate National Catfi sh Month, International Clown Week, National Smile Week, Romance Awareness Month and Elvis Week. Unusual August ob-servances include Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Night, National Cherry Popsicle Day and National Marshmallow Day. • Every August, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, is home to the Sweet Corn Festival. The town of 26,300 welcomes about 100,000 people from all over the Midwest and serves up more than 70 tons (63.5 metric tons) of sweet corn over the weekend. turn the page for more!

¥ "Rather than using shelf paper in my pots-and-pans cabinet, I have lined the shelves with carpet scraps. There is less noise when I am getting a pot out or putting clean pans away." -- P.O. in New Mexico

¥ Keep a spray bottle of full-strength white vinegar by your laundry area. Use it to spray the underarms of shirts that have deodorant stains on them.

¥ "Our family vacationed at the beach this summer, and we learned a really neat trick to keep sand from getting inside the house so much. We got a small, inflatable baby pool and set it up near the entrance, along with a chair and towel. The kids dipped their feet in the baby pool, rinsed off their legs and then dried off. The pool was less than $5, and it made a big difference." -- N.N. via email

¥ After washing and drying thoroughly, wrap an iron skillet in wax paper to store.

¥ When arranging fewer flowers in a large-mouth vase, use clear tape to create a grid across the opening. Then, you can arrange your stems in the holes. It gives some sup-port to the stems, and the arrangement will be evenly spaced and very pleasing.

¥ For new vining plants, use a simple clothespin to guide the vines to a trellis. Be sure to remove it as soon as the plant has attached itself, as it will grow stronger if it has to hold its own weight.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My pot-bellied pigs, "Penny" and "Norman," again lost their hair very early this spring, when it was still very cold. Their skin was ex-tremely itchy and very cracked and dry-look-ing. I contacted many vets, Humane Societies and others concerning this never-ending is-sue. Many told me that hair loss in pot-bellied pigs is normal, and there was nothing I could do. That was not good enough for me.Now I think I found something that is help-ing. I've been adding safflower oil in with their food pellets -- about a tablespoon each feeding. They have not grown back any hair, since I just started this about three weeks ago. But I can tell they don't look as dry and they're not scratching as much. I give safflower oil to my dogs and cats dur-ing the winter while our wood stove is oper-ating, as they tend to get dry, flaky skin. The oil makes their fur very shiny. So I thought I would try it on my piggies. I hope this will help others who are going through this. Good luck! -- Diane at Little Moose Farm

Itchy Skin Plagues Pot-Bellied PigsDEAR DIANE: Skin problems and hair loss in pot-bellied pigs is indeed very common, but troubling for owners. Pot-bellied pigs can "blow their coats" routinely after reaching about two years of age, and their skin can be dry during the period before their hair grows back. However, other problems can sometimes cause hair loss and dry, cracked skin as well, so it's always good to check with the vet when hair loss occurs.Many experts recommend adding a cod liver oil or fish oil supplement to the pigs' food, and safflower oil may be a good alternative as well. This can help improve their dry skin while waiting for their coats to regrow.

SUMMERTIME (continued):• According to the ancient Gregorian calendar, July was the fifth month and consequently was called Quintilis, the Roman word for “fifth.” When the Romans later moved the beginning of the year from March 1 to January 1, July became the seventh month. Because Julius Caesar was born during this month, the Roman Senate changed the name to July. • July is a big month for Independence Days — the U.S. celebrates on July 4, while Canada observes July 1. National independence is observed on July 5 in Venezuela, on July 9 in Argentina and July 14 in France. The holiday in Belgium is July 21 and in Peru, July 28. • The first patent ever registered in the United States was in July of 1790 and was granted to Samuel Hopkins for his new process of making potash, an ingredient in soap, glass and gun-powder. • When the minimum wage was established in America in July of 1933, you could expect to earn 33 cents an hour. • The name of Rod Laver is not a familiar one unless you are an avid tennis fan. In July of 1969, Laver became the first person to win four Wimbledon titles.• International Lefthanders Day is set aside ev-ery August 13 for the estimated 13 percent of the world’s population who is left-handed. Lefthand-ers International publishes a magazine and offers a catalog packed full of products aimed at “lefties.” • According to legend, St. Lawrence of Rome, a friend to the poor, was roasted to death on an iron grill for distributing church property to the needy. As a result, southern Europeans consider it civilized to eat only cold meat on this martyr’s feast day, August 10.

¥ On July 25, 1832, the first recorded railroad ac-cident in U.S. history occurs when four people are thrown off a vacant car near Quincy, Mass. A cable on a vacant car snapped them off the train and over a 34-foot cliff.

¥ On July 26, 1775, the U.S. postal system is estab-lished by the Second Continental Congress, with Benjamin Franklin as its first postmaster general. Until then there were no post offices in the colonies, so mail was typically left at inns and taverns.

¥ On July 27, 1993, Boston Celtics star Reggie Lewis collapses and dies after suffering cardiac arrest while shooting baskets at Brandeis University in Boston. After previous cardiac arrhythmias, doctors had incorrectly assured him that he could continue to play.

¥ On July 28, 1932, President Hoover orders the U.S. Army under Gen. Douglas MacArthur to evict Bonus Marchers -- a group of World War I veterans seeking cash payments for their veterans’ bonus certificates -- from Washington, D.C. MacArthur’s men set their camps on fire, and the veterans were driven from the city.

¥ On July 29, 1958, the U.S. Congress passes leg-islation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a civilian agency responsible for coordinating America’s activities in space. NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union’s Oct. 4, 1957 launch of its first satellite, Sputnik I.

¥ On July 30, 1971, a mid-air collision between a Boeing 727 and a fighter jet in Japan kills 162 peo-ple. At 28,000 feet the Boeing suddenly encountered two military jets. One was flown by a student who had only a few hours of flying experience. Neither jet was equipped with radar.

¥ On July 31, 1916, future racing legend Louise Smith, who will become the first woman inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, is born in Barnesville, Ga. In her first race, unaware that a checkered flag meant the finish line, Smith kept going when the race ended until someone threw out a red flag.


1. GEOGRAPHY: Where is the U.S. Naval Acad-emy located?2. PERSONALITIES: Who was Fulton John Sheen, famous for his radio and TV broad-casts?3. LANGUAGE: What is the plural of "quan-tum"?4. TELEVISION: What is the name of the city in the long-running soap opera "All My Children"?5. LITERATURE: Who wrote the novel "The Jungle," a book that detailed abuses in the U.S. meat-packing industry?6. MUSIC: What rock group recorded the song "Layla"?7.

SUMMERTIME (continued):• Summer has been a historical time for the English Channel. Frenchman Louis Bleriot ac-complished the first flight across the English Channel in July of 1909 in 37 minutes, piloting his 25-hp plane. He received an award of 1,000 English pounds for his efforts but apparently not much fame, since the name of Louis Bleriot is unknown to the average person. The first woman to fly across the Channel is honored on August 2. Harriet Quimby Day is set aside to commemorate this brave woman’s flying feats, including being the first American woman to earn a pilot’s license. Sad to say, Harriet was killed in an airshow accident just three months after her historic English Channel adventure. • August 1, 1893 goes down in history for all cereal lovers. That’s the day a patent was issued for Shredded Wheat! • Only the diamond is harder than July’s birth-stone, the ruby. Rubies are actually rarer than diamonds and can be found in Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Afghanistan and India. In Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, the word for ruby was Ratnaraj, which translates “king of gems.” Ac-cording to legend, wearers of rubies will receive wisdom, happiness and health. • Women’s rights took a step forward in July of 1848, when the first women’s rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York. Resolutions presented at the gathering maintained that a man should not withhold a woman’s rights, take her property or refuse to allow her to vote. • The pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August of 1945, was 30-year-old Paul W. Tibbets.

BICYCLES (continued):• In the 1890s, the first “modern” bicycles

appeared: chain-driven vehicles with simi-larly-sized tires. These were safer than the high-wheel models (and were even called “safety bicycles” as a result), but proved a step backwards in comfort. While the long spokes of high-wheel bikes absorbed bumps and ruts, the smaller wheels on these new bikes, particularly when coupled with the hard-rubber tires of the era, made for jarring, unpleasant rides.

• More than a million bicycles were sold in the United States by the time 1895 rolled around, but one last improvement would propel the bicycle into the must-own category: the pneu-matic tire. Under the guidance of the Pope Manufacturing Company (which made bi-cycles), the Hartford Rubber Works produced America’s first pneumatic tires in 1895. Pro-viding a much softer ride, they soon became a standard feature on all bicycle models.

• Dozens of smaller-scale improvements boosted the speed, comfort, longevity and performance of bicycles during the 20th century. As women began to find them as necessary as men, two varieties of bicycle were made. Men’s bikes were built with an extra stabilizer bar across the top of the bike. Women’s bikes omitted the bar, providing for easier mounting and dismounting of the vehicle when wearing skirts.

• The 1970s saw the development of two bi-cycle extremes. First came bicycles that took you nowhere. Otherwise known as exercise bikes, these training aids first hit the home market at the beginning of the decade. Then, as time went on and the energy crisis sent fuel prices skyrocketing, mopeds appeared. These bicycle/motorcycle hybrids, most popular with city-centered business workers, could either be pedaled like a regular bike or powered using a small, low-powered gasoline engine.

SUMMERTIME (continued):• It was during the summer of 1974 that Richard Nixon became the only U.S. President to resign from offi ce. He was avoiding probable impeach-ment proceedings stemming from his cover-up of the illegal activities of his staff in the Water-gate scandal. He was granted a full pardon for all federal crimes one month later by his succes-sor Gerald Ford. • The founder of L’Oreal cosmetics, chemist Eugene Schueller, is credited with the invention of sunscreen in 1936. If you’re using sunscreen with an SPF of 15, it is providing protection from 93 percent of the sun’s UV rays, while the SPF-30 variety will provide 97 percent protection. Manufacturers advise against using any sun-screen that is more than a year old. Statistics indicate that only about 30 percent of teenage males apply sunscreen on a regular basis, com-pared to 46 percent of females of the same age. • Going fi shing on your summer vacation? Ac-cording to “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” the best times for fi shing are when the ocean tides are “restless, one hour before and one hour after high and low tides.” In addition, when the wind is from the west rather than from the north or east, fi shing will be better, as well as when the barometer is steady or rising, says the “Alma-nac.”• July 19 is Flitch Day, when according to an old custom, bacon was given to any couple who could prove they had lived in harmony and fi del-ity for one year. • The 40 days from July 3 to August 11 are the hottest days of the year in the Northern Hemi-sphere and are known as “Dog Days.” The tech-nical term for this period is “Canicular Days,” deriving its name from the Dog Star, Sirius.

Of Kingman



DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I read all the time about the risks of having a heart attack. I never see anything said about the risks for having a stroke. What are they? I fear a stroke more than I do a heart attack. -- P.S.

ANSWER: The risks for both are similar. They include uncontrolled high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, too little exercise, a large waist, excessive al-cohol consumption and a high ratio of Apo B to Apo A-1. This last item needs an explanation. Apo B is similar to LDL cholesterol -- the bad kind of cholesterol, the kind that clogs arteries. Apo A-1 is more like HDL cholesterol -- good cholesterol, the kind that keeps arteries clean. I have to admit that these tests are not usually ordered.This subject is complicated by the fact that there are two different kinds of stroke. The more-common variety comes from obstruc-tion of blood fl ow to a part of the brain from a plugged artery, like the plugged heart artery of a heart attack. The less-common variety comes from the breaking of a brain artery, something called a hemorrhagic stroke.The two require different treatments and differ-ent approaches to prevention.P.S. is like most people who live in greater fear of a stroke than a heart attack. The booklet on strokes explains the kinds of strokes and what can be done to prevent and treat them. Read-ers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 902W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipi-ent's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.***

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Recently I had what the hospital doctors called a panic attack. I would like to know what causes them and if there is a cure. Would lack of sleep or medication have anything to do with it? -- W.B.

ANSWER: A panic attack is a period of extreme fear in a situation that doesn't warrant such fear. It comes on suddenly, reaches a peak in 10 or fewer minutes and makes the person want to fl ee from the situation he or she fi nds him- or herself in -- shopping for groceries, driving a car or walking down a street.During an attack, some of the following are present: the heart beats fast; sweat breaks out; people become short of breath; they can feel like they are choking; they might have chest pain and believe they're having a heart attack; they could be dizzy.The actual attack probably results from an outpouring of body chemicals, like adrenaline. What triggers the release of these chemicals usually is buried deeply in a person's subcon-scious. Lack of sleep or medication could make a person more susceptible to an attack.If you experience a panic attack only once, you don't have a great concern. If the attacks recur, then you do have a problem that needs atten-tion. Report them to your family doctor, who will get you started on treatment and refer you to a professional who can unearth hidden causes provoking these attacks.***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:BETHANY HAMILTONIf you’ve seen the 2011 fi lm “Soul Surfer,” the name of Bethany Hamilton is a familiar one. This week, Tidbits spotlights the life of this coura-geous young lady who has triumphed over a devastating shark attack. • By the age of eight, Bethany Hamilton already knew she wanted to be a professional surfer. The young Hawaii resident entered her fi rst competition, Oahu’s Rell Sun Menehune event, and came out the victor in her age bracket. It wasn’t long before she picked up a sponsor, and she was on her way!• On Halloween morning in 2003, when Ham-ilton was 13, she was out with friends for an early surf along the Kauai north shore beach. The water was clear and calm as she lay on her surfboard and dangled her left arm in the water, watching the many turtles in the area. With no warning, her life was forever changed. A 14-foot (4.3-meter) tiger shark attacked, severing her arm just below the shoulder. It was later deter-mined that a bite just two inches farther in would have claimed her life. As it was, she lost over 60 percent of her blood. • Hamilton watched the water around her change to a bright red, but somehow this young teen managed to stay calm enough to paddle toward the beach assisted by her friend, who, upon reaching shore, created a tourniquet from a surfboard leash. Ironically, when they reached the hospital, Hamilton was wheeled into an oper-ating room where her father had been scheduled to have knee surgery that morning. • After seven days of recovery in the hospital, Hamilton returned home. Less than a month later, she was surfi ng again, getting used to a whole new sense of balance in her body.

By Samantha Weaver

¥ It was 20th-century U.S. Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jack-son who made the following sage observa-tion: "The price of freedom of religion or of speech or of the press is that we must put up with, and even pay for, a good deal of rub-bish."

¥ It's common knowledge that Microsoft founder Bill Gates is regularly ranked as one of the world's wealthiest people, but you might not realize that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the world's wealthiest charitable organization, with an endowment of $36.7 billion.

¥ If you're planning a trip to Iowa anytime soon, you might want to schedule a stop in the town of Walcott. There you can visit the Iowa 80 Truckstop, the world's largest. With a whopping 220 acres, the truck stop is 1.5 times the size of Disneyland.

¥ In a traditional Hungarian wedding cer-emony, the bride wears a headdress made of woven wheat, thought to help ensure the couple's fertility.

¥ Historians say that famed German compos-er Ludwig van Beethoven was quite particular about his coffee. It is claimed that he counted out exactly 60 coffee beans for each cup that he drank.

¥ The longest mountain range on Earth is located underwater -- in the middle of the At-lantic Ocean, to be specific. It's nearly 25,000 miles long, and the only part of it that's above water is the nation of Iceland.

¥ If you are an American of a certain age, you almost certainly spent time watching the 1960s sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie." The icon-ic bottle where the genie lived wasn't actually created for the show; the set dressers used a Jim Beam holiday decanter from 1964.***Thought for the Day: "It is curious that physi-cal courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." -- Mark Twain


BETHANY HAMILTON (continued):• Three short months after the attack, Hamilton returned to competition, taking fifth place in her first time out. A year after, just shy of her 15th birthday, she nabbed first place in the NSSA national championships, her first national title. She was the recipient of 2004’s Best Come-back Athlete ESPY Award and a special cour-age award that was presented at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards. • In 2004, Hamilton recorded her experiences in a biography entitled “Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board.” It is the story of how a positive at-titude, perseverance and a strong faith in God accounted for her recovery. She has published five non-fiction books since the attack, with the goal of explaining how adversity can change a person’s life perspective. • In 2007, at age 17, Hamilton achieved the dream of turning professional and continues full time on the pro surfing circuit. In 2009, she appeared on the game show “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” and in 2010 was featured on ABC’s “Extreme Makeover Home Edition.” She also participates in humanitarian projects, including having helped children orphaned by a tsunami to overcome their fear of water. “Friends of Bethany” is a new effort of hers, a foundation that supports shark attack survivors and other amputees. The film version of her bi-ography, “Soul Surfer,” was released in April of 2011, starring Anna Sophia Robb, Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt and Carrie Underwood.

FAMOUS COUSINSLots of famous folks share common ancestors, and this week, Tidbits brings you a list of some of these blood relatives. • Do you know First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s maiden name? It was Roosevelt! When Eleanor was 18 years old, she was introduced to her father’s fi fth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and married him at age 20. At their wedding, Eleanor was walked down the aisle by the 26th President of the United States, her uncle Teddy Roosevelt, FDR’s fi fth cousin. • Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is in the midst of recovery from a January 2011 gunshot wound. Her second cousin is also fre-quently in the news. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow’s father and Giffords’ father are fi rst cousins. • Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Victoria, married her fi rst cousin Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg when they were both 20 years old. His father and her mother were siblings who col-laborated for years to unite the two. Victoria and Albert were married for 21 years, a union that produced nine children and 42 grandchildren. Albert died at age 42, and in her grief, Victoria wore black the remainder of her life, another 40 years. • Even a genius can marry his cousin! Take, for example, Albert Einstein, who married his second cousin Elsa in 1919, remaining married to her until her death in 1936. Evolution theorist Charles Darwin married his fi rst cousin Emma Wedgwood and had 10 children with her. “The Time Machine” author H.G. Wells married his fi rst cousin in 1891. A teacher at the time, Wells left her three years later for one of his students.

COUSINS (continued):• Two well-known female singers share common ancestry, Celine Dion and Madonna. Genealogy records reveal that these ladies have 146 ancestors in common. In addition, both Celine and Madonna are distant cousins of England’s Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles. • Two other female celebrities have the same ancestors quite a distance up the family tree. Actress Angelina Jolie and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are ninth cousins, twice removed. This means that they share a grandparent eight generations back. The word “removed” indi-cates the number of generations separating the cousins from each other. • Speaking of the Clintons, former President Bill Clinton is a distant cousin of the best-selling author of legal thrillers, John Grisham. Both are native Arkansans. • Talk about robbing the cradle! At age 20, 19th-century mystery writer Edgar Allen Poe married his 13-year-old cousin. That’s the same age famous rock and roll musician Jerry Lee Lewis’ cousin Myra was when the singer married her in 1957. At age 22, it was the third of his six mar-riages. • “Fatal Attraction” actress Glenn Close and actress Brooke Shields are second cousins. Shields’ great grandmother was Close’s great aunt. • Oscar winner Meryl Streep and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria were in for a surprise during the making of the 2010 PBS documentary on genealogy called “Faces of America.” It was discovered that the two women are distant cousins, and both share ancestry with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
