TIDBITS® PRESENTS A

JUNE JUMBLE

by Kathy Wolfe

Summer is just around the corner, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to bring you up to date on a few of June’s facts and historical events.

Exceptional Maintenance Professionally Managed Huge Variety of Apartments

• June is most likely named after the mythological Roman goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter. Juno was the goddess of marriage, which explains why it is considered good luck to get married in June.

• The solstice occurs between June 20 and 22. In the northern hemisphere, it’s the summer solstice, while to those living in the southern hemisphere, it’s the winter solstice. At this time, the Earth is at a point in its orbit that the North Pole is leaning most toward the sun, as far north as the sun ever gets during the year.

• The first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan, on June 30, 1953. It was Polo White with a red interior, automatic transmission, wraparound windshield, and the ability to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 12 seconds. It was the innovation of GM designer Harley Earl, who desired to have an American sports car that could compete with the Jaguar, Ferrari, and MG. There were just 300 Corvettes made that year, with a sticker price of $3,490.

JUNE JUMBLE (continued):

• Indianapolis, Indiana, was home to the final concert performed by Elvis Presley, an event held at Market Square Arena on June 26, 1977.

His last song sung to a live audience was “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.” Less than two months later, Elvis died in his Memphis, Tennessee, home.

• Every June, Belmont, New York, is home to the Belmont Stakes, a 1.5 mile (2.4-km) horse race that is the third leg of the American Triple Crown. It’s held five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness Stakes, on a Saturday between June 5 and 11.

On June 11, 1919, the chestnut thoroughbred Sir Barton became the first horse to win the Triple Crown, even though that name had not yet been conceived. There have been 11 horses that have won the coveted crown since 1919, including 1973’s winner, Secretariat, the horse that holds the record for fastest time. There hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner since 1978, when jockey Steve Cauthen rode Affirmed to victory.

• Stephen Carlton Clark was a Cooperstown, New York, hotel owner who was looking for a way to increase tourism to a town badly hurt by the Great Depression. He came up with the idea of a baseball museum to house baseball-related artifacts and exhibits, and to honor the game’s exceptional players. The Baseball Hall of Fame opened in June of 1939, and five of the game’s greats were elected to the Hall – Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson. Twenty more were selected after the initial five, and were inducted at the Grand Opening. In order to be considered for election, a player must have 10 years of major league experience, and have been retired five years. To date, 310 have been elected, with four more slated to be formally inducted in July, 2015.

• On June 2, 2004, software engineer Ken Jennings made his first appearance on the popular game show Jeopardy, beginning a record-setting winning streak. By the time he was defeated, he had won 74 consecutive games, racking up winnings of $2,520,700. The program’s ratings were 22% higher during Jennings’ string of wins over the previous year. Jennings didn’t stop with Jeopardy, but went on to appear on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?, Grand Slam, Stump the Master, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. In addition, he appeared on Jeopardy’s Tournament of Champions, which brought his total Jeopardy winnings to $3,196,300. Jennings has writing four books, including Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs.

JUNE JUMBLE (continued):

• In June of 1994, the eyes of millions of Americans were glued to their television sets, watching a white Ford Bronco being chased across Los Angeles. Inside the vehicle was former football hero O.J. Simpson, who was under suspicion for killing his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. Twenty police cars joined the chase, along with 20 helicopters, mostly from the news media. Simpson finally surrendered to police in his driveway and headed for trial the following year. Although the jury reached a verdict of not guilty in just four hours, in 1997, Simpson was found liable for punitive and compensatory damages of $40 million in a civil trial filed by the victims’ families. Simpson remained free until 2008, when he was found guilty of 12 charges related to his breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room to steal a number of his sports memorabilia at gunpoint. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison.

• The Flying Wallenda Family have been performing various daredevil stunts since 1922.

Nik Wallenda, a seventh-generation member of the group made history on June 15, 2012 when he became the first to successfully walk on a tightrope over Niagara Falls from the United States into Canada, crossing at the river’s widest point. Although the family is well-known for performing feats without a safety net, Nik was required by ABC television to wear a safety hardness for this stunt, the first time in his life he was required to do so. Just one year later, in June of 2013, Nik was making history once again as he became the first aerialist to walk over the Little Colorado River Gorge in the Grand Canyon. Walking on a wire just 2 inches (5 cm) thick, Nik crossed the 1,400-foot (427m) distance, 1,500 feet (457 m) above the river, this time without a harness or safety net. Having made his professional tightrope walking debut at age 13, this daredevil now holds nine Guinness World Records for his many aerobatic stunts.

• June 18, 1983 marked the first day that an American woman went into space. Flying on the space shuttle Challenger, 32-year-old astronaut Sally Ride spent six days on NASA’s seventh shuttle mission. Ride joined NASA in 1978 after achieving a bachelor’s degree in physics, another bachelor’s in English, a Master’s of Science, and a doctorate in Physics. She made history again in 1984 when she became the first American woman to travel to space a second time, another Challenger mission which lasted nine days.

However, Ride wasn’t the first woman in space.

That honor goes to Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who also made her historic trip in June. In 1963, she spent almost three days aboard Vostok 6 orbiting Earth 48 times.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

TWO JUNE INVENTORS Two famous inventions can trace their history to the month of June. Let’s examine their inventors and how these items came into use.

• Christopher Sholes was a printer and newspaperman by trade, editor of the Wisconsin Enquirer in Green Bay during the 1840s. He was also involved in politics as a state senator and assemblyman, and served as a Milwaukee postmaster and a commissioner of public works.

• In 1866, Sholes and a fellow printer, Samuel Soule, patented a paging and numbering device that automatically numbered the pages of a book.

When they showed this invention to another local amateur inventor, Carlos Glidden, Glidden wondered if the machine couldn’t be adapted to produce words and letters in addition to the numbers. Although another inventor had come up with a typewriter around that time, it was very difficult and complicated to use. Sholes, Soule, and Glidden were granted a patent for their “type-writer” in 1868, and this invention was the first typewriter to become commercially successful.

• The team continued to make improvements to their machine, with Sholes developing the common keyboard layout still in use today, the QWERTY keyboard. He ordered the letters in this manner so that typists would experience less typewriter jams. Sholes also developed the shift key for upper case letters, his final improvement before he sold the copyright to the Remington Arms Company for $12,000.

by Samantha Weaver • It was the fourth U.S. president, James Madison, who made the following sage observation: “I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the rights of the people by the gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

• Jimmy Carter was the first American president to be born in a hospital.

• Though the reasons are unclear, researchers have found that children of Mexican descent are less likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than children of other ethnicities.

• In some cultures, slurping your soup is considered to be a compliment to the chef, while here in the U.S., it’s frowned upon as demonstrating bad manners. In New Jersey, however, it goes a bit further; in that state, public slurping of soup is illegal.

• What do Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, Noel Coward and Charles Dickens have in common? None of them ever graduated from grade school.

• If you suffer from pupaphobia, you experience an unreasonable fear of puppets and dolls.

• During the 14th century, so many people in the city of Avignon, France, died from the Black Plague that Pope Clement consecrated the Rhone River to allow masses of bodies to be laid to rest in its waters.

• Before the middle of the 18th century, it was not unusual for members of a play’s audience to be seated onstage, just a few feet from the performance. If viewers thought an actor’s performance was particularly bad, they might even try to bump the performer off the stage. *** Thought for the Day: “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” -- Alan Kay (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

TWO JUNE INVENTORS (continued):

• In June of 1890, the U.S. Census Bureau started using an automatic tabulating machine to count census returns. It was the brainstorm of a young engineer named Herman Hollerith whose inventions were the foundation of our modern information processing.

• Ten years prior, as a recent college graduate, Hollerith had worked as a statistician on the 1880 census, and realized the need for a better way to tabulate data than hand-counting. He worked on his idea for the next seven years, the same amount of time it took to manually count the 1880 census.

• On June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, 160,000 Allied troops land on the beaches of Normandy, France, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from control of Nazi Germany. Within three months, the northern part of France would be freed and Allied forces would be preparing to enter Germany.

• On June 2, 1774, the British Parliament renews the Quartering Act, allowing Redcoats to stay in private American homes. Disgusted by the dumping of 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor six months earlier, Parliament reasserted British control over the colonies, especially Boston.

• On June 7, 1893, Mohandas K. Gandhi, a young Indian lawyer working in South Africa, commits his first act of civil disobedience when he refuses to comply with racial segregation rules on a train and is forcibly ejected. The British-educated Gandhi influenced leaders of civil-rights movements around the world.

• On June 3, 1936, bestselling novelist Larry McMurtry is born in Texas. In the late 1990s, he began filling abandoned buildings in Archer, Texas, with hundreds of thousands of used books for sale in an attempt to create a haven for book lovers.

• On June 1, 1968, Helen Keller dies in Connecticut at the age of 87. Blind and deaf from infancy, Keller circumvented her disabilities to become a world-renowned writer and lecturer. In 1904, she graduated cum laude from Radcliffe.

• On June 4, 1986, Jonathan Pollard pleads guilty to espionage for selling U.S. intelligence information to Israel and is sentenced to life in prison. The former Navy intelligence analyst sold enough classified documents to fill a medium-size room. Israel continues to negotiate for Pollard’s release.

• On June 5, 1993, Julie Krone rides Colonial Affair to victory in the Belmont Stakes to become the first female jockey ever to win a Triple Crown race. Krone won her first horse race at just 5 years old in a 21-and-under race. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Hollerith used the idea of punch cards that would count based on the location of the holes on each card. After several trials with paper tape, he switched to 3” x 7” (7.6 x 17.8 cm) cards, with each card holding all of one person’s data, and designed a tabulator and sorter to register the results.

• Hollerith’s design was so successful that he won a contract from the Census Bureau for the 1890 census. His invention reduced the time required for the count to two years and saved the taxpayers $5 million. It was adopted by Russia, Austria, Canada, France, and Norway for their censuses as well. The 1900 U.S. Census was also counted with Hollerith’s tabulator. His continued improvements added an automatic card-feed mechanism and the first key punch.

• In 1906, Hollerith created a model that included a wiring panel that enabled the machine to perform several different jobs with one machine. His 1890 tabulator was wired to work only on 1890 census cards.

• In 1911, at age 51, Hollerith sold his Tabulating Machine Company for $2,312,000.

His company later evolved into the International Business Machines Corporation, better known as IBM.

MORE JUNE EVENTS • Many of today’s music lovers have no idea what an “LP” is, choosing to download their music onto iPods and other electronic devices.

In June of 1948, Columbia Records unveiled a 12-inch (30.5-cm) vinyl disc with 17 minutes of music on each side, revolving 33 1/3 times per minute. Up until that time, the “78” was the trend for phonograph records, revolving 78 times per minute and containing just one song per side. The first public demonstration of the Long-Playing record took place at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a recording of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, performed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. It would seem that LP’s would have instantly replaced the old “78”s in popularity, but four years later, “78”s still accounted for half of all record sales.

• On June 6, 1946, a group of major arena owners met at New York City’s Commodore Hotel to discuss the formation of a league of professional basketball teams. They decided on 11 cities that would have a pro franchise – Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, New York, Toronto, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and Cleveland. They named the league the Basketball Association of America, but three years later the name was changed to the National Basketball Association. Today there are 30 teams in six divisions in the NBA. • On June 6, 1944, in the midst of World War II, Allied forces crossed the English Channel, landing on the beaches of Normandy, France.

On the orders of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, 6,000 vessels with 176,000 soldiers aboard departed England on a mission to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control. Overhead, 822 planes had dropped 18,000 parachutists early that morning. Code-named Operation Neptune, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

www.bismarcktidbits.com effects in every frame. So many that they cease to be special. It seems like they wanted to throw in every cool flourish and nifty bit of sci-fi lore they could think of, but forgot to include a plot or dialog that audiences could care about.

EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of June 1, 2015.

PICKS OF THE WEEK Jupiter Ascending (PG-13) -- Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) had a ho-hum life scrubbing tiles in Chicago, until the moment she found out she was actually the Space Empress! Jupiter gets set up with Space Warrior Caine (Channing Tatum, in pointy ears) as she is launched into a fullblown space opera of wacky aliens and visually overstimulating planetary vistas. As the Space Empress reborn, Jupiter has to look out for the scheming heirs to the throne -- especially the one played by a pouty Eddie Redmayne, clearly recalibrating his acting muscles after his Academy Award-winning role in “Theory of Everything.”

This latest offering from Andy and Lana Wachowski (the sibling duo who gave us “The Matrix”) has a mind-blowing array of special

McFarland, USA (PG) -- A hotheaded football coach loses his job and winds up teaching at a high school in McFarland, California, one of the poorest places in the country. Many of the students are from immigrant families and must work in the fields in addition to school, family responsibilities and the general pressures of being a teenager in a rough place. Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) sees how the boys run from one place to the next, and decides the school should have a cross-country team -- a sport he’s never coached.

The movie unfolds rather the way you’d expect an uplifting Disney sports flick would, in perhaps the best way possible. Director Niko Caro does a commendable job of managing the White Savior Syndrome present in many of these kinds of movies. It’s a by-the-book underdog story, but still manages to strike a chord.

The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (PG) -- The indefatigable sea-sponge returns for his second feature-length film, with even more fast-paced, off-kilter misadventures. An oddly familiar pirate named Burger-Beard (Antonio Banderas) steals the Krabby Patty formula

Tell Them You Saw it in Tidbits®!

-- the coveted recipe to the best burgers in Bikini Bottom. The harmless and enthusiastic Spongebob must team up with his pals and Plankton -- the closest thing he has to an enemy -- to track down the formula and save the day.

Live action and animation collide. The ultimate absurdity will delight fans and confound those who still haven’t got onboard.

Camp X-Ray (R) -- As a new guard assigned to Guantanamo Bay, PFC Amy Cole (Kristen Stewart) expected something different. She didn’t expect it to be such a difficult job. She also didn’t expect to form a secret friendship with one of the detainees who’d been locked up for more than eight years. She has to refer to them as detainees, because prisoners are subject to the Geneva Convention. Through small moments and steady pacing, both Cole and Ali go through transformations. Stewart is right for the role; starting as a stone-cold mask of military detachment, slowly warming up with cracks of vulnerability.

• Remember when boxer Mike Tyson bit off opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear? That match took place on June 28, 1997 in the third round of the pair’s heavyweight match. It was two years after Tyson had been released from a federal penitentiary after serving three years on a rape charge. After Tyson regained his heavyweight title, the bout with Holyfield was scheduled.

Holyfield easily won the first two rounds, which riled Tyson greatly. In the third round, Tyson spit out his mouthpiece, bit off a chunk of Holyfield’s right ear and spit it out onto the mat. Amazingly, Tyson was only given a twopoint deduction, a physician declared Holyfield could continue, and the fight went on! With any sense of composure completely gone, Tyson then went after Holyfield’s other ear, biting an even bigger piece. The fight was called off, and Tyson was disqualified, fined $3 million (out of his $30 million purse) and suspended for 16 months from boxing.

• Primarily celebrated in Texas, June 19 is known as Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. Even though President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January, 1863, the act had little impact in Texas because of the small number of Union troops stationed there to enforce Lincoln’s order. Once General Robert E. Lee surrendered in April, 1865, Union soldiers landed at Galveston that June, bearing tidings that the war was over and all slaves were free.
