We’ve invited these people into our living room for decades. This week, Tidbits invites you to examine the details on these television hosts.

• Dick Clark first gained real fame as the host of “American Bandstand” from 1957 to 1987, where many famous artists, including Prince, Jackson 5, Sonny and Cher, and Aerosmith, got their start. Clark’s first job in the broadcasting industry was at age 16 when he started as a mail clerk at a Rome, New York, radio station owned by his uncle. It didn’t take long for him to move into the relief weatherman slot. During college, Clark worked at a country music station, and after graduation, nabbed his first television host job, that of “Cactus Dick and the Santa Fe Riders,” a country music program. In later years, Clark hosted the game show “Pyramid,” and broadcast “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” live from Times Square from 1973 to 2004, when he suffered a stroke.

• “Dancing with the Stars” host Tom Bergeron started out as a disc jockey at a Haverhill, Massachusetts, radio station. After appearing as a regular guest host on “Good Morning, America,” he became the host of “Hollywood Squares” in 1998, and was nominated for five Emmys. He moved on to “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” a position he held for 14 years.

He’s been doing the dancing gig since 2005.

• The word xenia has a variety of meanings.

To the ancient Greeks, it was the concept of hospitality, generosity, and courtesy shown to those far from home. To the botanist, it’s Pageeffect 2 the of pollen on a seed. And to those in Ohio, it’s the county seat of Greene County, a community about 21 miles (34 km) from Dayton.

• Xystus is an architectural term, referring to a long, covered portico, or main entrance, of ancient Greek gymnasiums. Here, athletes would exercise during inclement weather.

To the Romans, the xystus was the garden walkway in front of the porticoes, where they planted flower beds.

• Physicians are familiar with two unusual “X” words, xyster and xiphisterna. The xyster is a surgical instrument used for scraping bones, while the xiphisterna refers to the cartilage at the lower end of the body’s sternum, that long flat bone located at the center of the chest.

• The Greek word xanthos translates “yellow,” and several of our words use it for a prefix.

Xanthophyll is a yellow pigment found along with cholorophyll in green plants. Plants with yellow stems are xanthopous. To those suffering from the abnormal vision condition known as xanthopsia, everything they see seems to have a yellow hue.

TV HOSTS (continued): Sajak, “Wheel of Fortune” host since 1983. But Sajak has a long list of other accomplishments.

Born Patrick Sajdak, he started as a radio newsman while still in college, along with working as a hotel desk clerk. At 22, he served in the Vietnam War as a disc jockey for the American Forces Vietnam Network. After a few gigs as a broadcaster and weatherman, Sajak took the helm at the “Wheel.” Sajak was a regular substitute host for “Larry King Live” and “Live with Regis and Kelly,” as well as hosting his own short-lived late-night talk show and a program on the Fox News Channel. He also had a stint on the daytime soap opera “Days of Our Lives.” Sajak keeps his radio roots close, hosting a syndicated radio sports talk show, as well as owning a radio station in Maryland.

• Before there was Pat Sajak, there was Chuck Woolery, who was the first host of “Wheel of Fortune,” beginning in 1975. It wasn’t Woolery’s intention to host TV shows. After a stint in the U.S. Navy and a job as a salesman for Pillsbury, he headed to Nashville to form the rock band Avant Garde. After a Top 40 hit in 1968, the band recorded five records that went nowhere and became “one-hit wonders.” Merv Griffin chose Woolery to host his new game show “Wheel of Fortune,” where Woolery remained for the next six years. When the show’s ratings skyrocketed, Woolery demanded a salary increase from $65,000 a year to $500,000.

His contract was not renewed and Sajak replaced him. After a two-year hiatus, Woolery began his 11 years of hosting “Love Connection,” while hosting “Scrabble” at the same time. Woolery claims that during the 2,000 episodes of “Love Connection,” 22,000 couples met, resulting in 29 marriages and 15 children.

He moved on to “The Dating Game” in 1997 for three seasons, and “Lingo,” which aired from 2002 to 2007. (continued on next page)

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO HELP PETS IN NEED DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’d like to help make life better for animals, but I’m not able to volunteer at a local shelter because my job and family take up too much time. I don’t have a lot of extra cash to give away, either. Is there anything else I can do?

-- Sarah in Wheeling, West Virginia DEAR SARAH: Few of us can really dedicate the time or money we’d like to give to improve animal welfare. All we can do sometimes is look for an opportunity that fits what we are able to give. More and more individuals and businesses are coming up with creative ways for their community to help pets and their owners.

For example, a store in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, converted a walk-in cigar humidor to a pantry for donated Did you hear about the family who got stuck pet on Peter Pan’s Flight for over 3 hours? food and treats, encouraging members of the comApparently, their vehicle would nevermunity to donate to it with the goal of helping elderly never land. residents feed their pets.

A program begun by the Humane Society of the United States, called Pets for Life, helps animal-care and social-welfare advocates start community outreach programs that can put needy pet owners in touch with agencies or charities that can help their pets get food, medical care or other assistance.

And of course, there was the community-driven assistance given to pets and rescue organizations on the R LinO TD OA NW M in Gulf Coast theO wake of two terrible hurricanes 2017, which enabled the rescue of stranded and lost Home of “Mission to Mars,” “Space Mountain,” and “Finding Nemo V pets, and the rehoming of adoptableoyage” pets to shelters in other areas of the U.S. So keep an ear to the ground and an eye open for the chance to help where and when you can.

• Canada-born Alex Trebek has been the face of “Jeopardy” since 1984. After obtaining a degree in philosophy from the University of Ottawa, Trebek set out on a career in broadcasting, starting out with the Canadian Broadcasting Company as a newscaster and sportscaster. In 1973, at age 33, he moved to America and became the host of a new game show “The Wizard of Odds.” He moved on to “High Rollers” and “Battlestars” before the revival of “Jeopardy.”

Trebek took on the hosting job of “Classic Concentration” in 1987 and “To Tell the Truth” in 1991, making history as the first person to host three game shows at the same time. Trebek is a renowned philanthropist, having donated $2 million worth of land in north Hollywood to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and $7.5 million to the University of Ottawa. He also funds a Leadership Award at the University to those who demonstrate community leadership. Trebek has participated in 13 USO tours, visiting American troops on several overseas military bases. In 2014, Trebek overtook Bob Barker’s record of the most gameshow episodes hosted on the same program. At that time, Trebek had hosted 6,829 episodes of “Jeopardy.”

• Although Alex Trebek has gained fame as the host of “Jeopardy,” he wasn’t the first host.

That honor belonged to Arthur Fleming Fazzin, better known as Art Fleming, who hosted the show from 1964 until 1974, and again for five months in 1978. After starring on Cornell University’s football and water polo teams, Fleming served in World War II as the pilot of a bomber for 3 ½ years. He already had a successful television, commercial, and film career by the time he was noticed by Merv Griffin on a television ad for Trans World Airlines.

• Before “Jeopardy,” Art Fleming had already had a run in ABC’s series “International Detective,” and an NBC Western “The Californians.”

In addition to 5,000 episodes of television programs, Fleming appeared in 48 movies. During his entire run of “Jeopardy,” Fleming never missed a single taping • “You might be a redneck” if you know much about stand-up comedian and host Jeff Foxwor (continued on next page)

TV HOSTS (continued): thy. This Georgia-born TV personality started out with a degree in computer technology and a job at IBM.

* On May 26, 1897, the first copies of the classic vampire novel “Dracula,” by Irish writer Bram Stoker, appear in London bookshops. In 1890, Stoker published his first novel, “The Snake’s Pass.” He would go on to publish 17 novels in all, but it was “Dracula” that eventually earned him literary fame. * On May 21, 1927, American pilot Charles A. Lindbergh lands at Le Bourget Field in Paris, successfully completing the first solo, nonstop trans-Atlantic flight.

The flight of the Spirit of St. Louis between New York and Paris took 33-1/2 hours. Six men had died attempting the same flight. * On May 23, 1934, famed fugitives Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker are killed when police ambush their car near Sailes, Louisiana. They died in a two-minute fusillade of 167 bullets. * On May 25, 1935, at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Babe Ruth hits his 714th home run, a record for career home runs that would stand for almost 40 years. * On May 22, 1958, American singer Jerry Lee Lewis arrives in England as a newly married man, with his pretty young wife in tow. Within days, it was revealed that his new wife, Myra Gail Lewis, was actually only 13 years old and was his first cousin once-removed. * On May 27, 1972, Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and U.S. President Richard Nixon, meeting in Moscow, sign the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) agreements. At the time, these agreements were the most far-reaching attempts ever to control nuclear weapons. * On May 24, 1991, the critically acclaimed road movie “Thelma and Louise” debuts in theaters, stunning audiences with a climactic scene in which its two heroines drive off a cliff into the Grand Canyon in a vintage 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible.

FOOD OF THE WEEK:

The Old Chapel Antique & Artisan Market

V8

“Wow, I could have had a V8!” goes the familiar advertising slogan. This week, Tidbits has the details about this longstanding beverage.

• Back in 1933, W.G. Peacock, the founder of the New England Products Company, was manufacturing individual vegetable juices, using the brand name of Vege-min. His sales were lessthan-desirable, so Mr. Peacock began experimenting with blending various juices together into one. He combined eight different vegetable juices – beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress, spinach, and tomato – and called his concoction Vege-min 8.” An Evanston, Illinois, grocer recommended that Peacock abbreviate it to the simpler V8.

• Peacock started production of V8 in the mid1930s, catering primarily to the New England states. But by 1938, he just couldn’t keep up with the demand, manufacturing it all entirely on his own. He sold the recipe to an Indiana firm, the Loudon Packing Company, who took over the processing.

• Another change came along in 1943, when Loudon sold out to Standard Brands for $3 million. Five years later, when gross annual sales were nearing $5 million, V8 was sold to the Campbell’s Soup Company, who still owns the V8 brand today. The recipe, which is 87% tomato juice, remains the same. Campbell’s has expanded the vegetable line to include spicy hot, lemon, picante, and roasted chicken. An 8-oz. serving contains 60 calories. Compare this to 112 calories for the same amount of orange juice or 110 calories in apple juice.

• A study by the Centers for Disease Control reveals that only about 25% of Americans eat enough of the recommended allowance of vegetables – 2.5 cups daily. (continued on next page)

More Than a Headstone (continued)

big-box or craft stores for small flags, perhaps 4 by 6 inches, on sticks. Or look online for sites such as www.united-states-flag.com (877-734-2458). Its flags are made in the U.S.A. The 4-by-6-inch flags on 10inch wooden sticks cost as low as 15 cents each.

Take along a pair of clippers and trim around the headstone. Take the kids or grandkids along, if you wish, and teach them about honoring veterans.

Then, issue the same challenge to others. It’s the right thing to do. (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

More Than a Headstone Twice a year in national cemeteries across the country, veterans are honored with ceremonies and visits.

Memorial Day has long been the day to honor those who died in service to our country. Now, with the generous donations of Worcester Wreath and the nonprofit Wreaths Across America, tens of thousands of veterans’ graves also are decorated at Christmas ... as they should be.

But I have a challenge for you.

We all live near a cemetery or two. Small cemeteries dot communities across the country, and many of them don’t get the attention they deserve. Some are not tended well nor visited often.

My challenge to you is this: Investigate a local cemetery and identify the graves of a half-dozen veterans.

The older the grave, the better, as there will not likely be family that visits. Note the names and dates of birth of those half-dozen veterans (as well as the locations, should the cemetery be large).

Take the graves of those veterans into your care.

Visit each grave at least twice a year, and not on the days that others will -- Memorial Day and during the Christmas season. Pick another day, as well as the veteran’s birthday.

This project needn’t cost much. Check your local (coninued in next column)

V8 (continued): • V8 isn’t all about vegetables these days. The company has introduced three spin-offs – V8 Energy, V8 Splash, and V8 V-Fusion. The energy drinks add 80 mg. of caffeine from green tea to a fruit and vegetable blend. The V-Fusion line has added a few different vegetables – sweet potatoes, squash, yellow tomatoes, and purple carrots – to a variety of fruits juices, including acai berries. The acai is a one-inchlong purplish fruit from the acai palm tree, native to Central and South America, and richer in antioxidants than several other berries.

• Another V8 ingredient, watercress, is a fastgrowing aquatic plant, one of the oldest-known leaf vegetables. It’s related to the mustard plant, radish, and wasabi. Watercress, a plant with hollow stems, is 95% water, and is exceptionally rich in Vitamin K, necessary for the body’s blood coagulation.

• Who hasn’t heard of Bob Barker, long-time host of “The Price is Right”? When World War II broke out, Barker enlisted in the U.S. Navy and trained as a fighter pilot. Post-war, he received a degree in economics. Barker’s first game show gig came along on the last day of 1956, hosting “Truth or Consequences” until 1974. “The Price is Right” started up in 1972, where Barker remained until 2007, collecting 14 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game Show Host. He also served as the host of the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants for 20 years, the longest-serving host of those pageants.

• Former Marine Corps reservist, bank teller, Denny’s waiter, and stand-up comic Drew Carey took the reins from Bob Barker. Carey had starred in his own comedy show for nine years, starting out with a salary of $60,000 per episode, which was later raised to $300,000, and culminating at $750,000 per episode in the program’s final season.

• Between 1961 and 1980, Allen Ludden was the host of television’s “Password.” Ludden was well-equipped to deal with the word game, having received a Master of Arts in English from the University of Texas. Prior to his show biz career, he had achieved the rank of captain in the U.S. Army during World War II, and was awarded a Bronze Star. He met his wife, actress Betty White, on “Password,” and the pair enjoyed nearly 18 years of marriage before Allen succumbed to stomach cancer in 1981. Betty White has never remarried, and is quoted as saying, “Once you’ve had the best, who needs the rest?”

• Johnny Carson was another World War II veteran-turned-TV host, having served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Pennsylvania in the Pacific. As an ensign, he also was quite the amateur boxer with a record of 10-0. Johnny was a born entertainer, having purchased a ma(continued on next page)
