To help promote Fire Prevention Week, Tidbits looks at this amazing discovery we call “fire” from a variety of angles. Of course, we’ll include a few safety tips here and there. Enjoy! • Is it possible to light a fire by rubbing two sticks together? Yes, but it requires a certain type of wood and a lot of elbow grease. The official Boy Scout manual counts 13 different steps for creating fire via friction, including forming a “bow” out of a twig and a shoelace and making a wooden “drill.” Quite frankly, Tom Hanks made it look much easier in the motion picture Cast Away. • No one can say for sure when man “discovered” fire, but most researchers agree that it was probably a case of something (most likely a tree branch) getting hit by lightning and catching fire. Archaeological evidence suggests that Homo erectus, the first upright humans, learned how to use fire for heat, light and cooking two million years ago. • If you took high school chemistry, you likely operated a Bunsen burner. Robert Bunsen popularized the use of the device to heat test tubes in 1852. By using gas, he kept his laboratory free of fumes and soot. turn the page for more!

• Smokey Bear first appeared on a fire prevention poster back in 1944, and the character immediately caught on. In fact, Smokey’s campaign proved a bit too successful. The number of forest fires reduced so dramatically that some forests became choked with vegetation. Officials in certain areas conducted carefully-controlled “prescribed burns” to return natural balance to the ecosystem. • A 2001 survey revealed that an amazing 95% of Americans could complete Smokey Bear’s slogan, “Only you can prevent…” In case you don’t know, the answer is “forest fires” – although Smokey recently changed it to the more-encompassing term “wild fires.” • Charles Nelson Reilly was perhaps best known to the American public as the pipesmoking panelist with oversized eyeglasses on TV’s Match Game. He grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, and when the Ringling Brothers Circus held a matinee show on July 6, 1944, Charles and a friend attended. Unfortunately, a fire broke out in the Big Top, which became engulfed in flames in only minutes. Eleven-year-old Charles and his pal escaped unharmed, but scores of others weren’t so lucky. As an adult, Reilly worked on Broadway as an actor and director, but he never just “watched” a show from the seats. The tragic circus fire gave him a life-long phobia of sitting in an audience situation. • By definition, a high-rise building is one more than 75 feet tall. A standard fire hose can spray water 100 feet straight up. Water can push smoke back into a building, however, which adds to the danger for people trapped on the upper floors. In such a case, the blaze must often be battled from the inside out. Firefighters around the building will spray the hoses at ground level to establish a safe area for rescuers to enter the structure. To escape the heat of Rome in July 64 A.D., Nero vacationed in the resort town of Antium. On the 19th, a fire broke out in Rome’s Circus Maximus. Aided by strong winds, the blaze raged out of control. When Nero received word of the situation, he didn’t “fiddle” about, but rushed back to the city to aid in rescue efforts. The blaze was finally extinguished after six days. Nero opened his palace to house many of the homeless, and used his personal funds to feed and shelter others. • Most of the devastation of the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 was caused not by the tremor, but by a fire that raged for four days afterward. The quake destroyed most of the underground water pipes, so firefighters had limited resources. The city’s many tightly-packed, wooden-frame structures went up like tinder. Broken gas lines throughout the area added fuel to the inferno. Earthquake insurance didn’t exist at the time, but fire insurance did. Hundreds of buildings that initially escaped disaster were deliberately torched

Come say Hello!

Fisherman's Prayer Author Unknown God, Please grant that I may live to fish For another shining day, But when my final cast is made I then most humbly pray, When nestled in your landing net As I lay peacefully asleep, You'll smile at me and judge That I'm "good enough to keep." ------------------------------------------------------------God give me strength to catch a fish, So big that even I, When telling of it afterwards, Have no need to lie. ------------------------------------------------------------“Only an extraordinary person would purposely risk being outsmarted by a creature often less than twelve inches long, over and over again.” ------------------------------------------------------------“If people don’t occasionally walk away from you shaking their heads, you’re doing something wrong.” John Gierach

Tidbitsoflincolncounty@gmail.com Famous Fishing Quotes "Be patient and calm - for no one can catch fish in anger." - Herbert Hoover "It is not how abundant nor how considerable our catch be, but rather to the sport, and manner in which our quarry, the noble trout is angled." -J.B. Martin "The only reason I ever played golf in the first place was so that I could afford to hunt and fish." Sam Snead "Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary" Patrick McManus "The fish and I were both stunned and disbelieving to find ourselves connected by a line." William Humphrey in "The Armchair Angler" Fish Tacos Any Rockfish will do for this recipe. Take bones out of fish first! Slice into strips and deep fry in nonbeer batter. Nonbeer batter 1 cup of flour 1 egg 3/4 cup of non alcoholic beer Salsa 3 tomatoes 1 Anaheim chili 1 jalapeno Tip: Keep batter in a bowl of ice while using. Take corn tortillas, fry, drain, and spread with salad dressing on the sides. Top with salsa and finely shredded cabbage. Salsa: Place ingredients in microwave in a plastic bag. Cook 2 minutes until soft. Remove and place these in a blender, then turn on blender VERY Briefly 3 times mixture should be chunky. Pour into a bowl, sprinkle with garlic salt and chopped cilantro to taste.

to the ground by owners hoping to “cash in” on the disaster. • Firefighters who arrive first on the scene of a blaze are charged with stabilizing any injured persons. They must be removed from immediate danger and, if necessary, treated by medical personnel. If any victims appear to be beyond medical aid, firefighters are advised to minimize fire suppression in that area as much as possible so that evidence can be collected afterward. The position and condition of the victim can speak volumes to the investigation team as to the origin of the fire. • The Pointer Sisters’ rendition of the song “Fire” hit #2 on the U.S. pop chart back in 1978. The song was composed by Bruce Springsteen, who’d originally written it in hopes of having Elvis Presley record it. Newport: Newport Bay Coffee Co. • George Blaisdell invented the Zippo lighter in his 4852 N. Coast Highway 541-265-4090 Bradford, Pennsylvania garage in 1932.

a list of health-conscious foods that can be purchased at almost any supermarket. • Beets are loaded with folate; one cup of boiled beets provides adults with one-third of their daily requirement for folic acid. Folate helps to produce new cells and is crucial in the development of DNA. That’s why pregnant women should get sufficient amounts of folic acid. Betacyanins, the pigments that give beets their color, have the potential to be a significant anti-cancer drug. • Cinnamon can help to control your blood sugar. A study by the USDA showed that patients with Type 2 Diabetes who consumed a quarter-teaspoon of cinnamon every day for six weeks not only reduced their blood sugar level, but also lowered their “bad” cholesterol. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should have a gooey, sugary cinnamon roll every morning. Instead, try sprinkling cinnamon on your oatmeal or in your coffee. • Pumpkin seeds – they’re not just for Halloween anymore. They’re full of magnesium, a mineral which helps your body to absorb calcium. Magnesium also helps to prevent heart disease. If you’re not in the mood to roast your own pumpkin seeds, you can usually find them in packages alongside the nuts and other snack foods at the grocery store. Speaking of pumpkins, while you’re carving that jack-o-lantern, save the insides! Bake the “pumpkin innards” in a pie or just heat them up with some butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pumpkin is high in fiber and Vitamin A.

RACING PHOTO CUTLINE continued.

tive Collection in Livonia, Mich. (Roush Automotive Collection photo) A Conversation With Jack Roush This week, we caught up with Jack Roush, a household name in the world of motorsports. Born April 19, 1942, in Manchester, Ohio, Roush's attraction to all things mechanical grew steadily into a lifelong passion for performance that has translated into this tremendous engineering and motorsports success story. As founder, CEO and co-owner with John Henry of Roush Fenway Racing in Concord, N.C., Roush is also chairman of Roush Enterprises, the parent company to Roush Racing, Roush Industries, Roush Performance and Roush Manufacturing. He also owns a great collection of racing automobiles, which we touch on in the interview. The Roush Automotive Collection is located at 11851 Market St., Livonia, MI 48150. (Although not open to the walkin public on a daily basis, the collection does hold several open-house events each year and is available for special showings during weekdays.

Housed within the collection are a wide variety of displays, multi-media exhibits, artifacts, memorabilia and numerous vehicles dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of Roush Enterprises. The collection contains educational exhibits of products and processes from Roush as a supplier of technological services to the automotive industry, aviation industry and other manufactured goods businesses.

PAW'S CORNER over 2000 products available! First Aid for Pets By Sam Mazzotta Q: I sometimes worry about what I would do if my dog or two cats were badly injured -- hit by a car or bitten by a wild animal from the woods out back. We live several miles from the nearest veterinary clinic. Other than stopping bleeding, I don't know much else about how I would help them. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find out about given emergency care? -- Frank L., via e-mail A: The American Red Cross, while better known for supplying information on people first aid, offers two pet books -- "Dog First Aid" and "Cat First Aid," available online at www.redcross.org. The books give basic information on treating injured or ill pets immediately, and tell you how to stock a "pet first-aid kit" that should be kept within easy reach. The organization also offers a pet first-aid course at some of its chapters nationwide. Check the above Web site or contact the nearest Red Cross chapter for available classes. The book and course can be invaluable for recognizing signs of illness or injury in your pets, and providing immediate care -- including CPR -- until you reach a veterinary clinic. While waiting for your first-aid books to arrive, it's a good idea to write the veterinary clinic's phone number in an easy-to-remember place (or put on speed dial) and to find out the clinic's hours and the veterinarian's schedule. Ask the clinic how it handles after-hours emergencies -- you may need to drive quickly to an alternative vet clinic. Knowing what to do in an emergency can provide tremendous peace of mind.Send your tips, questions and comments to Paws Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

In Our Back Yard FAVE FOODS OF THE FAMOUS By Steven J. Austin Sasha Cohen

Sasha Cohen is the living definition of beauty, style and grace. She's an Olympic figure-skating medal winner and former U.S. champion who continues to thrill her fans worldwide as the headliner for the Smucker's Stars on Ice tour. Cohen was born in California, and when not training or on the ice, she's busy with acting, modeling and a variety of charitable causes. She's also been featured in many TV shows and major motion pictures, and even worked as a correspondent for Inside Edition covering the Oscars' red carpet events. And you've seen her stunning smile in the Got Milk ad campaigns. Cohen is a true foodie, always seeking a new culinary adventure. Her autobiography, "Fire On Ice," is published by Harper Collins. For more info: www.starsonice. com and www.sashacohen.com You knew we had to ask: What's your favorite frozen treat? "Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Strawberry cheesecake or peach cobbler flavor. I enjoy it once a week." Tell us about a very memorable meal you had somewhere in the world. "My meal at Per Se in New York City. We were on the waitlist for weeks and got in last minute. It was an amazing meal, with creative food, a stunning view and down-to-earth service. They even lent me a cashmere scarf since I was cold!" How do you like to use Smucker's products? "I love them all. Especially the sundae toppings." Of all the other Stars On Ice skaters, who can eat the most food at a sitting, and who is the funniest to have around the dinner table? "It's definitely John Zimmerman. He's the biggest eater, but has an incredible body. Everyone is so much fun. We are so lucky to have such a great closely knit skating family." The rink should really be made of: "One day I'd like to see them try to make the ice out of frozen yogurt, so you could eat the ice chips." BAKED APPLES WITH GREEK YOGURT, HONEY AND CARAMELIZED WALNUTS 4 Fuji or Pink Lady apples 1 tablespoon of sugar in the raw 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons caramelized or toasted walnuts In a 375 F oven, place a baking dish with 4 apples drizzled with the sugar and fill the dish with a half cup of water. Bake for 55 minutes or until done. Cool slightly. Serve in individual plates with two spoons of Greek yogurt drizzled with honey and sprinkled with caramelized walnuts.
