TIDBITS® LOOKS INTO THE PULITZER PRIZE

Amish buildings for sale or rent to own

by Kathy Wolfe Every year, more than 2,400 entries are submitted for the Pulitzer Prize competition. This week, Tidbits keeps you in the know on this celebrated group of awards.

• The Pulitzer Prizes were established in 1917 by the generosity of newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer.

Born in Hungary, Pulitzer came to America in 1864 at age 17, with his passage paid for by Massachusetts military recruiters who were looking for soldiers during the Civil War. He actually ended up in the First New York Lincoln Cavalry, serving for eight months.

• After the war, Pulitzer tried whaling and waiting tables without success.

Settling in St. Louis, Missouri, he was a regular patron at the city library, studying English during every spare minute. After being deceived by a job offer hoax, Pulitzer wrote a short story about the ruse, which he sold to a small local newspaper, and soon was working as a reporter. At age 25, he had already purchased a share in that paper, the Westliche Post, a stake he sold for a good profit the following year. Six years later, Pulitzer bought two other newspapers, the St. Louis Dispatch and the St. Louis Post, merging them into the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a paper that is still that city’s daily newspaper. turn the page for more!

PULITZER PRIZE (continued): • At age 37, the now-wealthy Pulitzer bought the New York World, and his two major newspapers became noted for crusading against dishonest government, big business, and public corruption.

• Pulitzer also had a place in politics, beginning as a state legislator at age 22, going on to the U.S. House of Representatives before he was 40.

• Because he believed that journalists should be trained at the university level, Pulitzer set aside $2 million to establish a graduate school for journalism at New York’s Columbia University, as well as calling for a prize system to honor creative excellence. Pulitzer died in 1911, and the Columbia University School of Journalism was established in 1912, and the Pulitzer Prizes were first awarded five years later.

• Pulitzer had specified four awards in journalism, four in letters and drama, one in education, and four traveling scholarships. A poetry category was added in 1922, photography in 1942, and a music category in 1943. The Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction was awarded for the first time in 1962 to Theodore White’s The Making of the President, 1960. The book recounted the presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy from the primaries to his victory over Richard Nixon. It remained on the best seller list for more than 40 weeks.

• Today there are 21 categories: Public Service, Local Reporting of Breaking News, Investigative Reporting, Explanatory Reporting, Local Reporting, National Affairs, International Affairs, Feature Writing, Commentary, Criticism, Editorial Writing, Cartoons, Breaking News Photography, Feature Photography, Fiction, History, Biography/ Autobiography, Original Verse, Nonfiction, Theatrical Play, and Musical Composition. There are 102 judges who make three nominations in each of the 21 categories.

• The formal announcement of the Pulitzers is made each April, and presented by the president of Columbia University.

• Each winner receives a $15,000 cash award, (raised in 2017 from $10,000), with the exception of the winner in Public Service journalism, a prize that is always awarded to a newspaper, not to an individual. The newspaper receives a gold medal. Joseph Pulitzer’s requirements for meritorious public service reporting included “cleanness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, strict accuracy, and the accomplishment of some public good commanding respect.”

• The very first Pulitzer for fiction was awarded to Ernest Poole for His Family,

By Keith Roach, M.D. EDITORS: Please ensure that all pamphlet offers include price and all other information.

Unnecessary Procedure on Terminal Patient --DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother has stage 4 cancer.

She just went to a dermatologist, who performed Mohs surgery on her nose. I am BEYOND upset by this unethical behavior. The country is already deeply in debt, and Medicare is paying for this? Unconscionable! Not to mention the pain and suffering of my mother, who is now at risk of a secondary infection. I was sickened by the entire ordeal. -- J.B. ANSWER: I agree with you completely that often patients with terminal diseases receive unnecessary care. There have been studies clearly documenting this. However, the studies don’t answer why, in a particular case, a physician performed these treatments, which add only pain, anxiety and expense.

I suppose it is possible that the motivation is simple greed; however, I still have enough faith in my colleagues that I think that is a very unusual reason; I think it’s far more likely that a specialist just doesn’t see the big picture. There’s an old expression that when all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail, and I think some specialists see a problem and fix it without realizing that the problem they are fixing isn’t likely to ever cause symptoms.

For example, primary-care doctors order unnecessary tests, especially screening tests. I see mammograms ordered for women with advanced colon or ovarian cancer who are in palliative care, and this makes no sense. I have heard some physicians mention that insurance companies monitor the frequency of “quality indicators,” such as mammograms, which affect their ratings and reimbursement. That’s an example of a well-meaning system motivating wrong behavior.

I should emphasize that not all care for terminal patients is useless. If the goal is to improve quality of life or reduce suffering, then I am all for it, after a consideration of the costs (pain and inconvenience as well as dollar costs). *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have heard of yeast infections, but I don’t know what causes them. How do they affect the body, and what can be done to get rid of them? -- C.R. ANSWER: Certain yeasts, but especially the Candida species, are found on our skin, mucus membranes and GI tract. They normally live in balance with the 100 trillion or so bacteria we carry around. However, yeast can cause disease that ranges from fairly mild, like thrush of the mouth or vagina, to life-threatening, like a blood-borne, widely disseminated invasive infection.

Candida infection of mucus membranes is usually caused by changes in our bacteria, especially after the use of antibiotics. The antibiotics kill the bacteria they are supposed to (hopefully), but they also may kill the healthy bacteria that assist us in digestion (leading to diarrhea or worse), and this allows the other bacteria and yeast to grow.

Some people with genetic faults in their immune system are predisposed to chronic candida infections.

These are uncommon but can be severe, and may require treatment by specialists, such as infectious disease doctors and immunologists.

The life-threatening yeast infections generally happen in people with severe illness and with poor immune system function. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

PULITZER PRIZE (continued): a novel about the life of a middle-class New York City widower and his three daughters in the 1910s.

• Many of the titles of the winners for novels are familiar, including Gone with the Wind (1937), To Kill a Mockingbird (1961), The Color Purple (1983), and Lonesome Dove (1986).

• The 1974 photography winner depicted a United States Air Force Lt. Colonel reunited with his family at Travis Air Force Base after spending five-and-ahalf years in a North Viet Nam POW camp. Part of his imprisonment was spent sharing a cell with future Senator John McCain. Photographer Sal Veder captured the image of Robert Stirm and his family, and entitled it “Burst of Joy.” • A photo of Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow and child taken at his funeral captured the 1969 photography Pulitzer.

• Although the prize for music is given to an American composition that had its first performance or recording during the year, in 2008, a special prize was awarded to singer-songwriter bob Dylan for his “profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.”

• The prize for Drama, one of the original prizes, is judged by a jury consisting of one academic and four critics who attend plays in New York and regional theaters throughout the year.

Familiar winners include 1955’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “The Diary of Anne Frank” (1956), “Driving Miss Daisy” (1988), and more recently, “Rent” (1996), and “Hamilton” (2017).

• Only three writers have won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once – Booth Tarkington in 1919 and 1922, William Faulkner in 1955 and 1963, and John Updike in 1982 and 1991. Faulkner also was awarded a Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949. His famous novels include The Sound and the Fury and As I Lay Dying.

• Four individuals have received four prizes, poet Robert Frost, playwright Eugene O’Neill, and screenwriter and biographer Robert E. Sherwood. In addition to his plays, Sherwood also served as a speechwriter for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His 1949 Pulitzer was for a biography of Roosevelt.

• Pilot Charles Lindbergh penned his autobiography in 1953, chronicling the events surrounding his 1927 33-hour solo trans-Atlantic flight in his single-engine, single-seat monoplane from Long Island to Paris. The book, The Spirit of St. Louis won the Pulitzer Prize in 1954.

• Prizes for cartoons are awarded to those editorial drawings that often exhibit the humorous or satirical side of politics, foreign affairs, and social issues with a sharp wit. Five cartoonists have won the award three times.

• The Pulitzer for Investigative reporting was established in 1953, and has included exposure of corruption, unsafe hospital conditions, unsafe prescription drugs, and narcotics rings, as well as providing the proof necessary to free those wrongfully convicted of violent crimes.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

Danger Lurks on the Internet --How can you keep from falling prey to online scammers? It’s getting more difficult every day.

Here are a few steps to stay safe: * Step one is to slow down. Use bookmarks for the sites you regularly visit. That will keep you from accidentally typing in the wrong name in a rush. Type in even one letter wrong, and it may send you to a fake site that looks identical to the one you want to visit. Once there, you might be willing to sign in because you think you’re in the right place.

It’s called typo-squatting, and scammers actually register domain names that are spelled incorrectly because they know there are common misspellings. Even big names like Google, Apple and Microsoft have been hit with typo-squatting. Only do banking online if you’re very sure of the safety. (Better idea: Don’t do online banking.) * Have a long password, at least eight characters, and be sure to have symbols and numbers in it for any site where you need to sign in. * Beware putting your credit-card number on an online retail site. (Better idea: Call in your order instead. Talk to a person.) * If you’re on a social site, don’t upload photos unless you know for certain that the location information has been stripped from them. Use a fun screen name that isn’t your own name.

Never announce that you’ll be away on vacation.

That would sound like an invitation to a scammer who can figure out where you live. (It’s not difficult.) * Keep the grandchildren off your computer unless you have a child safety program running, such as CyberSitter. (Better idea: Have computer games they can play, but turn off the Internet.) * Keep your privacy settings on high. (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

FOOD OF THE WEEK: “C” FOODS This week’s Tidbits has nothing to do with under-the-sea creatures. It’s all about these various foods beginning with the letter “C”. While you might be familiar with the names, you may not know what they are.

• Couscous consists of small steamed granules of crushed semolina flour, and is especially popular in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with stew spooned on top.

The word comes from the Arabic word Kaskasa, which translates “to pound small.” Couscous is bland on its own but serves a function much like mashed potatoes do, soaking up gravy.

• A bush called “Capparis Spinosa” is the source of what are known as capers.

The unopened flower buds from the bush are pickled in a salty brine or white wine vinegar. The little buds, about the size of a peppercorn, are picked by hand every morning and processed that day. They are never eaten fresh, only processed by drying in the sun then pickled.

• The strong, pungent flavor and aroma of cardamom make it a versatile spice used in many different recipes. Its flavor has tastes of lemon, mint, and mild smoke. It’s grown widely in India, where it’s used in their casseroles and other main dishes. But in Scandinavia, it’s used to spice up cakes, puddings, tarts, and other baked goods. Many add it to beverages, including mulled wine, hot cider, eggnog, coffee, and tea.

The world’s third-most expensive spice, cardamom also has medicinal benefits, including treatment for mouth sores, bad breath, digestion issues, heartburn, and bronchitis.

• Although in North America, the chicory plant is considered a weed, this member of the endive family is a popular crop in France and South Africa, where the roots are roasted. This converts the carbohydrates in the root to a brown carmelized sugar with a coffee-like flavor.

During the American Civil War when a Union naval blockade cut off the port of New Orleans, halting shipments, coffee became scarce and chicory was added to coffee to stretch supplies. The tradition has continued in New Orleans, with Café du Monde, a favorite in The Big Easy, that is chicory coffee mixed with hot milk, producing a slightly chocolate flavored beverage. Chicory is also used by beer brewers to add a coffee flavor to their stout dark beers. Some naturopaths brew the root in a tea as a medicinal remedy for jaundice, gout, liver ailments, and rheumatism.

• You might not be familiar with the name of carambola, but you may have eaten it! This fruit is better known as starfruit, a tree native to the Philippines, India, Indonesia, and other southeastern Asia countries. It has ridges down the side, so that when it’s cross-cut, the slice resembles a star. The entire fruit is edible, even its yellow-green waxy skin.

The texture of the fruit’s flesh is similar to that of grapes, but it’s extremely juicy.

Use of the starfruit varies by culture.

While we might think of them as an ingredient of preserves or juice drinks, in Thailand, they are cooked with shrimp, and in China, with fish. Southeast Asians stew the fruit in cloves and sugar, while Australians use them in a vegetable side dish. While carambola are rich in antioxidants, potassium, and Vitamin C, they can be fatal to those with kidney

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta Good Dental Health for Dogs and Cats --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Chip” and I were at the veterinarian recently, and she told me that Chip may have an abscess near a molar. He is now taking an antibiotic to try and heal the abscess, but if that doesn’t work he may lose a tooth. How did this happen, and how can I prevent it from happening again? -- Worried Mom in Wichita DEAR WORRIED MOM: Even healthy young dogs can develop dental problems.

There are a number of possibilities as to why it happens -- sometimes it’s blamed on a diet rich in soft, canned dog foods, or too many doggie treats. But many owners strictly regulate their pets’ diet and yet still see signs of tooth decay and other issues like abscesses.

Regular checkups are important to catch dental problems early. You did that, and hopefully Chip will respond to treatment

without the need for surgery. Another way to prevent some dental issues, or keep them from getting worse, is to brush your dog’s teeth regularly.

Cat owners, don’t think you’re exempt, either. For both dogs and cats, brushing their gums and teeth gently about once a week takes about 10 minutes and can make a huge difference in their dental health.

Pet supply stores and vets’ offices carry meat-flavored toothpastes designed for pets (don’t use human toothpaste). You can purchase a finger brush, or simply wrap a clean, soft cloth around your index finger. Put a little paste on the end of the brush or your finger, lift your pet’s lip out of the way, and gently swipe from the gum line down each tooth. Give your pet a little treat and some love once you’re done.

BUTTONS Button, button, who’s got the button?

Tidbits observes National Button Week March 18 – 24 by bringing you the facts on these little fasteners.

• Ancient buttons dating back to 2000 B.C. have been found in archaeological digs and prehistoric burial grounds.

Back then, buttons weren’t fasteners, but rather were ornaments. It wasn’t until the invention of the buttonhole around the 13th century that buttons were used to fasten clothing. Prior to that, clothes were secured with pins, leather laces, and belts. Buttons and buttonholes allowed clothing to become more form-fitting.

• The word “button” has its origins in the French language. Bouton translates “bud” or “knob.”

• Buttons as fasteners quickly became the fashion, and the wealthy and royalty used them as a status symbol. During the 16th century, Francis I of France had thousands of gold buttons on one coat, while King Louis XIV was reported to have spent upwards of $5 million on buttons over the course of his lifetime.

• Up until the mid-1800s, buttons were used primarily for men’s clothing – waistcoats, vests, and breeches -- with women’s clothes still fastened with lacing and hooks. Once introduced into women’s garments, they became the primary customers.

• In the late 1700s and early 1800s, pewter was the most common choice for buttons. Brass buttons replaced the pewter ones around 1830. Brass has been the most common material used since that time. Ivory was also a popular choice in the late 1700s, but when the price of ivory took a dramatic jump in the 1800s, manufacturers used a nut from a South American palm tree. Because the dried nut greatly resembled ivory, it was called vegetable ivory, a material that is still used today.

• Countless different natural and manmade materials have been used to produce buttons. Deer antlers and hoofs have been a popular material, and were usually dyed black or dark brown. Wood buttons from many different trees were some of the earliest buttons.

• In 1839, after Goodyear obtained a patent for the vulcanization of rubber, buttons were produced from hard rubber, with the most famous design the “Anchor” motif featured on Navy peacoats.

• Marine creatures have been used for buttons since the 18th century.

Mother-of-Pearl buttons are made from the pearly lining of freshwater mollusk shells, and have an iridescent sheen that makes for beautiful buttons. The exterior BUTTONS (continued):

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * It was French poet, journalist and novelist Anatole France who made the following sage observation: “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.” * If you’re planning a trip to North Carolina in June, try to make it to the small town of Spivey’s Corner for the annual Hollerin’ Contest. If you’d like to participate but are worried about straining your vocal cords, you can always enter the conch-blowing contest instead of one of the ones that involves actual yelling. * You might be surprised to learn that famed British author Aldous Huxley, best-known for his dystopian novel “Brave New World,” was a consultant on Disney’s 1951 animated film version of “Alice in Wonderland.” * After the vows have been said in a traditional Korean wedding, the groom formally introduces his new wife to his parents. The bride’s father-in-law then pelts the bride with red dates, which is supposed to ensure fertility. * Jazz musician Glenn Miller was the recipient of the first gold record ever awarded, for the big-band hit “Chattanooga Choo-Choo.” * You might be surprised at some of the seemingly innocuous things that arouse passions in a group of people. Take the venerable 1960s television show “Mr. Ed,” for example. Evidently an evangelist named Jim Brown took issue with the show’s theme song, claiming that when played backward, the tune contains the message “the source is Satan” and “someone sang this song for Satan.” His preaching on the subject was so persuasive that members of a church in Ironton, Ohio, made a bonfire of recordings of the song.

shell itself is also used, but these are not as prized as the Mother-of-Pearl.

• Button collecting became an official hobby in 1938 with the founding of the National Button Society. The group now has upwards of 3,000 members on four continents, and chapters in 39 U.S. states. The Society classifies buttons made before 1918 as old, and those after are ranked as modern.

• Ever wonder why men’s garments have the button on the right side, while women’s are on the left? Back in the day, most men were right-handed and dressed themselves, while wealthy women were dressed by servants who faced the woman while buttoning her up.

• Another curiosity is why men’s suit coats have a row of non-functioning buttons on the sleeves. Although this may be just for decoration, legend has it that Prussian King Frederick the Great called for them to be sewn on the jackets of his troops to deter them from wiping their noses on their sleeves.
