A thorn is similar to a leaf in function, and it contains a “vascular bundle” of tissue that helps to sustain the plant. A prickle, on the other hand, is a hard, pointy appendage that does not supply any nutrients to the plant. It is in place strictly to protect the plant from predators, and can be (carefully!) snapped off without traumatizing the plant. • Have you seen bottles of “rose hips” on the vitamin shelf at your local drugstore and wondered what they were? Rose hips are seed pods that form on rose bushes at the end of the growing season. Average backyard gardeners never see these “seed balls” on their plants, since they prune the fading rose blossoms away in order to encourage new growth. Rose hips are high in Vitamin C and essential fatty acids. • It takes up to five years and as much as $10,000 to create a new hybrid rose. It’s not unusual for the growers of such specialty flowers to name their plants after celebrities in order to help spur sales. (continued p2) WANT TO RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

Page 2 Issue # 019 Your local garden center may offer a Dolly Parton rose bush, or a Princess Diana rose, or even a Barbra Streisand rose. In each case, the grower must secure permission from either the celebrity or his/her estate to attach his name to the bloom. And some celebrities (Streisand was one) insist on being involved in the flower selection process before agreeing to a floral namesake. Baseball’s Joe DiMaggio was married to Marilyn Monroe for only nine months, but for 20 years after her death, he sent a bouquet of white roses to her grave twice each week. • True Argentine tango dancers never clench a rose in their teeth while executing their moves on the dance floor. The roots of this visual cliché can be traced to 1921, when silent film star Rudolph Valentino performed a sexy tango in the film The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Valentino, dressed as a gaucho with a whip dangling from his hip, rakishly clenched a single rose in his teeth and cut in on a couple on the dance floor. The tango he danced with the lovely señorita was decidedly risqué, even by today’s standards. • After winning the Revolutionary War, America officially abolished the use of British aristocratic titles as “duke” and “prince.” However, Rose Kennedy – the very American matriarch of the Kennedy dynasty – was a “countess.” Pope Pius XII bestowed upon her the honorific title of “Papal Countess” in 1951, in recognition of her “exemplary motherhood” and her exhaustive résumé of charitable works. Only a handful of other American women have been granted this honor. • Were you aware that many maps are decorated with a rose? You’ve probably seen a compass rose without knowing that it had a name – it’s the decorative North-South-East-West directional indicator. Sometimes, the design is very basic, depicting only the four main points of direction. On older maps, compass roses provided 32 directional reference points, giving them shapes more like real-life “roses.” • Tokyo Rose was a generic name given to several English-speaking Japanese women who served as announcers on radio stations spouting war propaganda during World War II and the Korean War. They taunted American soldiers with stories of infidelities of their women back home and fictitious reports of Japanese victories in various battles. • The actress known as Rose Marie (famous for The Dick Van Dyke Show and Hollywood Squares) did have a last name – Mazetta. She got her show business start at the age of three as part of her parents’ vaudeville act, where she was billed as “Baby Rose Marie.” She admitted in her autobiography that the support of several organized crime figures (including Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel) was instrumental in helping her make the transition from child star to nightclub performer. • Axl Rose, lead singer of heavy metal band Guns n’ Roses, was named William Bruce Rose upon birth. His divorced mother then married a man named Stephen Bailey. Due to taunts related to the popular early-1900s song “Bill Bailey,” the youngster detested the thought of using that name. As a teenager, he reverted to using his biological father’s surname (Rose). When he joined up with musicians Jeff Isbell and Saul Hudson, they decided they needed edgier, rock-and-roll names.

Unlike the elegant Snow White, Rose was the rambunctious, “tomboy” of the family. When Snow White wed Prince Charming, Rose Red exchanged vows with his younger brother in a double-wedding ceremony. • The traditional romantic rhyme that states “Roses are red / Violets are blue / Sugar is sweet / And so are you” is believed to have been adapted from an epic poem written by Edmund Spenser. Known as “The Fairie Queene,” the late 16thcentury work includes the following verse: “She bathed with roses red and violets blue / And all the sweetest flowers that in the forest grew.”

So far I like it. It's a chore to get there before the sun is up (we have to be finished before the college students swarm in), but once I'm there and working out, I'm energized for the rest of the day. My resolution, then, is to keep at it. Perhaps if I do this now, before I actually need a "healthy heart" program, I might not ever need it at all. Are you going to make any resolutions this New Year? Here are a few ideas to think about: Volunteer on a regular basis. Grocery-shop for a neighbor once a week. Knit mittens for kids or helmet liners for soldiers. Sign up to deliver Meals on Wheels. Drive cancer patients to chemo. Take a class now so you can be a volunteer tax preparer in the spring. Sign up with a local charity for a set number of hours per week. There's always something that needs to be done. Do something for your mind every day. Explore new authors you haven't read before. Ask about auditing college courses for free, or if there isn't a school near you, check for online classes. Tackle more difficult crossword puzzles. If you're like me, resolutions are hard to keep. But maybe, just maybe, this year will be different. ®

She is not mean, but she likes to bark and Bruce & Debbie Cram tries to paw at or jump up as people get close. Sandy CCB License #183298 gets particularly excited when a jogger passes us. How 541-961-6447 can I stop her from doing this? -- Bill in Boulder, Colo. DEAR BILL: Getting Sandy adjusted to all the exciting activity on the sidewalk will take some time. Start by honing her basic obedience skills at home, making sure she will respond to your commands. On 950 NW Coast St. * Newport, OR 97365 your daily walks, have her sit and stay at random Your Small Project is my speciality times. When a jogger approaches, move to the side of the walk, and have Sandy sit and stay. (Of course, keep her on a leash at all times during walks.) Next, teach her not to react to sudden movements. At home, put Sandy on a leash. Throw a tennis ball across the room or hallway and say "Off!" or "Nyaah!" When Sandy leaps to chase the ball, tug the leash firmly and repeat "Off/Nyaah!" When Sandy responds to your command, praise her. Repeat this exercise in other locations, indoors or out, with few distractions. Try it with other objects, or a willing friend who can play the "jogger." Finally, add the command during her daily walks -when a person approaches, use the command if she starts toward them. You may need to sit Sandy down at first and wait for the person to pass, giving the "Off/ Nyaah!" command if needed. But gradually begin training her to obey this command from the heel.
