by Kathy Wolfe June is National Zoo and Aquarium Month, and this week, Tidbits is focusing on the history of these attractions from around the world. • There are more than 1,000 major public zoos in the world, with 80% of those in cities. Over 180 million people visit zoos in the United States alone every year. • The word “zoo” is short for “zoological garden,” derived from the Greek word zoon, meaning animal, and logos, which translates study. The abbreviation “zoo” was first used in 1828, referring to the London Zoological Gardens, which opened for scientific study that year. The London zoo was intended to be used strictly for the study of animals, and it remained as such until 1847, when it was opened to the public. It was also the site of the world’s first public aquarium, debuting in 1853. • Even the ancient peoples kept collections of animals, although they were called menageries then. Excavations have revealed an Egyptian menagerie dating to 3500 BC that included elephants, baboons, wildcats, hippotami, and hartebeests. Alexander the Great accumulated animals from his military conquests and shipped them back to Greece. The Tower of London was home to a zoological garden established by King John I in 1204. turn the page for more!

* On May 31, 1859, the famous tower clock Big Ben rings out over London for the first time. Two months later the bell cracked. It was three years before the clock went into service again. The bell was rotated so that the hammer would strike another surface, but the crack was never repaired. * On June 2, 1865, in an event marking the end of the Civil War, Confederate Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith, commander of Confederate forces west of the Mississippi, signs surrender terms offered by Union negotiators. With Smith’s surrender, the last Confederate army ceased to exist. * On June 4, 1896, in the shed behind his home in Detroit, Henry Ford unveils the Quadricycle, his first automobile. The Quadricycle was too wide to fit through the shed door, so Ford took an axe to the brick so the vehicle could be rolled out. * On May 29, 1914, two boats collide in heavy fog on the St. Lawrence River in Canada, killing 1,073 people. The Empress of Ireland, following standard procedure, came to a complete stop in the fog. The Norwegian coal freighter Storstad not only failed to stop, but didn’t reverse engines, flipping the Empress on her side. * On May 30, 1922, William Howard Taft, chief justice of the Supreme Court, dedicates the Lincoln Memorial on the Washington Mall. Taft is the only former U.S. president ever to hold a seat on the Supreme Court. * On June 3, 1965, astronaut Major Edward H. White II opens the hatch of the Gemini 4 and steps out of the orbiting capsule, becoming the first American to walk in space. * On June 1, 1980, CNN, the world’s first 24hour television news network, makes its debut in Atlanta. Initially available in less than 2 million U.S. homes, today CNN can be seen in almost 100 million households.

ZOOS (continued): • The oldest continuously-operating zoo in the world can be found in Vienna, Austria, the Tiergarten Schonbrunn, located on the grounds of the Schonbrunn Palace. It began as an imperial menagerie in 1752 by order of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. At first the menagerie was limited to the imperial family and its court, but after 13 years, it was opened to the public. Emperor Joseph II organized safaris to Africa and expeditions to the Americas to obtain animals for the zoo, including its first giraffe in 1828. In 1906, it became the site of the birth of the first elephant in captivity. Today, it is home to upwards of 700 animal species, including several endangered ones. • America’s oldest zoo is in Philadelphia. Although chartered by the state and founded in 1859, it didn’t officially open until 1874, delayed because of the Civil War. In the meantime, in 1860, a small 6.5-acre zoo opened in New York City’s Central Park, the nation’s first zoo open to the public. Central Park’s menagerie started out with 72 white swans and a black bear cub. The collection grew as citizens and circuses donated animals to the city. A new zoo was built in 1934, with a total of nine buildings, taking nine months to complete. By the early 1980s, the zoo had fallen in disrepair, and was torn down and rebuilt to resemble the 1934 facility, a fouryear project. Two of those original 1934 buildings remain there today. • America’s second oldest zoo is located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is home to the oldest zoo building in the country, built in 1875. The Cincinnati Zoological Society was founded in 1873, and the zoo opened on 65 acres in 1875 with 8 monkeys, 2 grizzly bears, 3 deer, 6 raccoons, 2 elk, a buffalo, a hyena, a tiger, alligator, a circus elephant, and 400 birds.

Outdoor Grill Fest Fun for All Ages Open windows and doors wide to welcome in warm weather, friends and outdoor activities. Relaxing weekends are ahead and made for gathering people together for a picnic at a city park or right on your own turf. A family-style get-together can celebrate and kick off this longed-for new season with a superlative gathering with the people you know and get to know starting with this long Memorial Day weekend. Keep it low-key and relax in the knowledge that being together with family, friends and newcomers in your community is the key ingredient that makes the event especially fun and memorable. Of course, some of the basics like burgers and potato salad might be essential to your gathering, but it’s the conversations, giggles, hugs, off-kilter moments and laughter that become the lasting impressions children cherish. Here are some ideas for prepping a grill fest for all ages: Get everyone involved -- Once you decide on a place and time, divide prep responsibilities for salads, veggies, grilling, desserts, games and entertainment among individuals and families. For example, if cousin Jessica plays the guitar, ask her to bring it along for a rousing songfest. If Uncle Pete plays the fiddle, you’ll no doubt get everyone dancing. Get kids’ assistance in shucking the corn (match tasks to ages and skill levels) or encourage others to stage a humorous play or a bicycle-and-pet parade. Beverage center -- Fill a small kiddie wading pool with bags of crushed ice. Bury canned sodas, juices and sparkling water, watermelon and water balloons in the ice. While drinks and fruit stay chilled, the balloons will be ready for some wet cool-down fun after the meal. Fun and Games -- Use games to create an atmosphere of activity. Setting equipment out encourages people to participate and interact. Bring your ping-pong table outside and create a tourney grid to keep players and fans engaged in lively competition. Set out a bubble brew with bubblers, chalk for hopscotch, jump ropes, baseball gloves -- why not play a round or two of musical chairs? Grill-fest pics -- Snap some candid and group photos with people posed in a large empty frame hanging from a tree branch. Plant a “Family Tree” -- Do you have a favorite picnicking spot? Somewhere at Aunt Chloe’s vineyard or in grandfather’s backyard? Plant a “family tree” this Memorial Day weekend in honor of a loved one at the location you choose and watch it grow over the years, right along with the children who planted it.

ZOOS (continued): • The large amount of birds at the Cincinnati Zoo was due to a severe outbreak of caterpillars in the city, leading the city to import 1,000 insecteating birds from Europe. This zoo was the birthplace of the first sea lion born in captivity. It was also home to the last living Carolina parakeet, which died there in 1918. • The world-famous San Diego Zoo got its start at the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, a World’s Fair that celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal. When the Exposition closed, the exotic animal exhibitions were abandoned and the creatures were claimed for a new zoo at Balboa Park. Additional animals were purchased from a bankrupt amusement park near the Pacific Ocean known as Wonderland. The amusement park, the first of its kind in the area, featured the largest roller coaster on the West Coast, a carousel, water slide, skating rink, and bowling alley. It was also home to a menagerie of lions, bears, leopards, wolves, mountain lions, a hyena, and more than 50 varieties of monkeys. Today, the San Diego Zoo covers 100 acres, with 4,000 animals from more than 800 species. In the 1960s, all children under 16 were admitted free. The current price for a child’s ticket up to age 11 is $48. • The Queens Zoo in New York City was built on the site of the 1964 World’s Fair. When it opened in 1968 as Flushing Meadow Zoo, it was the first cageless zoo. It was renamed the Queens Zoo after a $16 million renovation in 1992. • Staten Island’s zoo opened in 1936 and was the first zoo to exhibit all 32 varieties of rattlesnakes known in the U.S. at the time. By the late 1960s, theirs was the most complete rattler collection with 39 varieties.

* Don’t let your keys sink in the pool, lake or ocean this summer. If you’re taking them with you, make sure you add a flotation device. They sell keychains just for this purpose. * “The dollar store is the best place for pool toys -- they stock foam balls and all kinds of diving sticks and blow-up beach balls. I bring out lots when we go to the pool, and whatever kids are there can play with them. When we are ready to pack up, we’ll leave some behind if kids still are playing with them.” -- C.A. in Arkansas * Many shells have holes in them, and kids are natural collectors. If you want a fun carride-home project after a day at the beach, bring a craft needle (blunt) and some yarn or

embroidery floss for each child. Have them thread shells onto the yarn. When flipped upside down, a Frisbee holds a selection of shells securely on little laps while they search for the perfect one! -- JoAnn * Do yourself a favor and invest in a net bag to take to the beach. Anything that’s sandy can be placed in the bag, then you just shake it off. Get one for dry items and another for sand toys -- just dunk that one in the ocean for a rinse before you go! * “There are a lot of ways to get your stuff out to the perfect sunning spot on the beach. My way is to dump all my stuff in a big laundry basket, which we pull with a rope. The flat bottom slides over the sand.” -- R.D. in Florida * “One thing you might not think to bring to the beach is bug spray. Sometimes there are sand fleas, and a little bug spray really helps.” -- L.I. in Virginia

To Your Good Health By Keith Roach, M.D.

Helping a Smoker Quit DEAR DR. ROACH: I need your help to get my husband to stop smoking. We have been together for 27 years. He has smoked cigarettes daily for at least 30-35 years. Recently, he had an attack where he couldn’t breathe, and we took him to the clinic, where they did a breathing test. My 15-year-old son and I watched as my husband agonized to get through the test. They gave him an albuterol machine, prescribed Advair and sent him on his way. His father also smoked for many years, and now is on oxygen for COPD -- he is miserable every day. My husband quit smoking about two years ago using Chantix, but he started smoking again shortly after that. I do not want to watch him suffer like his father. I don’t understand how he sees what his father is going through and still continues down that road. I know it is not too late for him to stop, even though I am pretty sure he has already done some serious damage to his body. What can I do to get my husband to quit for good. -- S.W. ANSWER: Quitting smoking is perhaps the most difficult recommendation to follow. There are some definite red flags in your husband’s case as you have described it, but some reason to hope as well. The fact that your husband can see the effects of smoking on his father but has not successfully quit is worrisome. On the other hand, quitting

ZOOS (continued): • The Bronx Zoo, sitting on 265 acres in the heart of New York City, is the biggest metropolitan zoo in the U.S. More than 4,000 animals from 650 species call this zoo home. When the facility opened in 1899, its 250 acres held 22 exhibits with 843 animals. This zoo was instrumental in saving the American Bison by securing protection for the animal in 1905, when there were less than 1,000 bison left in the wild. The Zoo shipped out 15 of their bison to preserves in Oklahoma, Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska, where herds grew, ensuring the continuation of the species. • Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo is home to the largest indoor rainforest in the world, an 80ft. (24.4 m) tall building covering 1.5 acres. Voted as America’s top zoo several times, it also has North America’s largest cat complex, the world’s largest indoor swamp, and the world’s largest indoor desert. It’s the site of the birth of the world’s first test-tube tiger, born in 1990. When the zoo opened in 1898, it had deer, grizzly bears, and two bison loaned by Buffalo Bill Cody, along with 120 various other animals. A 1963 donation of $750,000 from the Doorly family provided for a substantial improvement to the zoo. • Beijing, China’s Zoo, founded in 1906, houses 14,500 animals from more than 950 species of land and marine animals. It’s no surprise that the most popular attraction is the Giant Pandas. The first birth of a giant panda in captivity took place at this zoo in 1963, as well as the first successful artificial insemination in the world of the panda in 1978.

now will greatly slow down damage to his lungs. Similarly, although he restarted quickly after quitting, he was able to quit. He needs to know that most people who quit successfully have tried several times to quit in the past and went back. It’s worth trying again, and he knows that he is able to quit. Varenicline (Chantix), bupropion (Zyban and Wellbutrin) and nicotine replacement therapies definitely are helpful for most people in quitting. I am sure his doctor will be happy to partner with you, his family, in helping him quit. The American Lung Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Canada and the American Heart Association all have helpful information for people trying to quit as well. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: After two years of seeing several doctors and being misdiagnosed and treated with wrong medications, my 27-yearold daughter has been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Her joint pain has been constant. What kind of long-term damage has been done during this time? -- A.F. ANSWER: Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin condition, with well-known plaques -raised red patches with silvery scales or flaked skin -- most commonly seen over the elbows, knees or on the back. Only a minority of people with psoriasis will ever develop psoriatic arthritis, but you have to have psoriasis to get psoriatic arthritis. Sometimes, the arthritis shows up before the skin lesions, making the diagnosis difficult. Unfortunately, damage to the joints can happen early in the course of psoriatic arthritis, but only an X-ray can show the extent of damage. Your daughter may need aggressive treatment. A rheumatologist experienced in psoriatic arthritis is essential.

HORSERADISH

June 2 – 4 have been designated Horseradish Days by the fine folks of Collinsville, Illinois, who have proclaimed this community of 25,000 the Horseradish Capital of the World. Check your knowledge of this flavorful plant! • The potash-rich soil near Collinsville makes it prime growing land for horseradish, and the area has one of the world’s largest concentrations of the plant, producing 80% of the world’s supply. This year marks the 30th anniversary of their International Horseradish Festival, which draws 30,000 spectators. The Horseradish Festival isn’t Collinsville’s only claim to fame. The town is also home of the world’s largest catsup bottle, a 170-foot-tall (52-m) water tower shaped like a bottle, a roadside landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Every July, the community hosts the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle Festival. • The horseradish plant belongs to the same family as mustard, wasabi, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. The plant’s whitish root is the source of its spicy flavor, which, until its cut or grated, has hardly any aroma at all. Once it’s grated, the root releases the oil that gives it its distinctive aroma. The pungent oil can irritate the mucous membranes of the sinuses and eyes. It’s mixed with vinegar for two reasons – vinegar stabilizes the oil’s heat, and also preserves the flavor, because the oil begins to become bitter once exposed to the air. • The plant reaches a height of nearly 5 feet (1.5 m).

Rattlesnakes Aren’t Only Danger Dogs Face DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re planning a road trip out West this summer to several national parks, and our two dogs are coming along. We’ve done all our research on which parks allow pets and have everything planned out. But I’m worried about the dogs while we’re out hiking, especially that they might be bitten by rattlesnakes. I heard there’s a snakebite vaccine available. Should I give it to them before we go? -- Betsy J., Madison, Wisconsin DEAR BETSY: Snakebite vaccine is really expensive -- $800 or more -- and not covered by pet insurance. And it doesn’t mean they’re out of danger if they are bitten. Heat, jagged terrain and ticks are much bigger hazards than snakes. While there’s no guarantee that accident or injury won’t happen, you can drastically improve the odds in your favor by observing

just a few guidelines. * Follow park service rules for pets: Dogs must be on a leash at all times. * Check the bulletin board at park entry points or ranger stations for the latest on health and safety hazards in the park. Better yet, ask a ranger directly. * Make sure your dogs’ vaccinations are up to date before starting your trip. * Carry a pet first-aid kit. * Every evening and morning, check the dogs for ticks. Lyme disease is not as big a problem out West, but ticks there carry plenty of other scary diseases. * Check paws frequently for cuts, scrapes and bruises. * Don’t leave your dogs in hot vehicles, even for a few minutes. * Be prepared to alter your plans if conditions change or a hiking route looks too dangerous.

* It was Douglas Hofstadter, American professor of cognitive science and Pulitzer-winning author, who made the following sage observation, known as Hofstadter’s Law: “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.” * According to Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, the biggest competition faced by the online streaming service isn’t HBO, Hulu or Amazon -- it’s sleep. He recently told stockholders that when viewers are deciding whether or not to watch Netflix, the alternative they’re usually considering is going to bed, not watching another service. * You might be surprised to learn that in the United States, there are more people employed in the solar-energy industry than there are employees in the coal, oil and gas industries combined. * Economists aren’t known for their optimism, but in the summer of 1930, one of the 20th century’s most influential economists made a bold prediction. Even as the Great Depression was gaining momentum, John Maynard Keynes declared that by the year 2030, the typical workweek in developed nations would be just 15 hours long. It’s not looking good so far, but we do have 17 years to go. * Those who study such things say that a monarch butterfly can fly a whopping 620 miles without stopping for food. * You may have never heard the term “reduplicative rhymes,” but you’re certainly familiar with them. “Razzle-dazzle” is one. Also, “hocus pocus,” “fuddy-duddy,” “roly-poly,” “dillydally,” “higgledypiggledy” and “chick flick.” Interestingly, Chick Flick also was the name of a baseball manager -- he managed Rustic Tavern, a semi-professional team in the 1940s and ‘50s.

HORSERADISH (continued): • Horseradish is an ancient plant, and it has been found mentioned in ancient writings. A mural uncovered in Pompeii revealed the image of the plant. During the Middle Ages, the roots and leaves were used as medicine. The Europeans brought it to North America during colonial times, and it was a favorite in the gardens of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both mentioned it in the gardening journals. • Horseradish is rubefacient, meaning it stimulates blood flow both below and on the surface of the skin. It’s been used for centuries in poultices and liniments that, when massaged into the skin, relieve muscular aches, painful joints, sciatic nerve pain, rheumatism, and gout. As a chest poultice, it relieves congestion and bronchitis. A half-teaspoonful of sauce made of grated horseradish root taken twice a day can effectively relieve sinus discomfort. • Nearly every part of the plant appears to have therapeutic value. Tea brewed from the root is useful as an expectorant, and tea made from its flowers appear to fight the common cold. The raw leaves pressed against the forehead have been known to help relieve headache pain. It’s been shown useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections, kidney stores, and gallbladder disorders. Chemicals found in horseradish seem to deliver antibiotic effects to the bladder and help keep toxins from accumulating there. • Recent studies have shown that cancer-fighting compounds known as glucosinolates are found in significant amounts in the horseradish plant. These compounds increase the liver’s ability to detoxify carcinogens, and may not only increase resistance to cancer, but actually slow the growth of existing cancerous tumors. Although the horseradish plant’s relatives, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and other vegetables also contain glucosinolates, the amount in horseradish is nearly 10 times the amount found in broccoli.
