Creating part of the U.S.-Canadian border, the Great Lakes make up the largest body of fresh water on Earth. This week, Tidbits is focusing on these five lakes – Superior, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Erie. • The Great Lakes account for 84% of North America’s surface fresh water, and about 21% of the world’s supply. The surface area of 95,160 square miles (246,463 sq. km) is larger than the areas of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont combined! The shoreline of all of the Lakes combined is equal to nearly 44% of the Earth’s circumference. • About 34 million people in the U.S. and Canada live in the Great Lakes Basin. That’s 8% of the U.S. population and 32% of Canada’s. Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Chicago, Illinois, lie on the shores of Lake Michigan. Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, Erie, Pennsylvania, and Buffalo, New York, all sit on Lake Erie. Toronto lies on Lake Ontario. • Lake Superior is the largest lake both in surface area and in water volume. It’s also the deepest. Its name is derived from the French “lac supeneur,” translating “upper lake,” due to its location north of Lake Huron. • Superior is so large that all of the other four Great Lakes, plus three more the size of Lake Erie, would fit inside. It contains enough water to submerge all of North and South America in a foot (30.5 cm) of water. Lake Superior alone accounts for 10% of the world’s fresh surface water. An estimated 100 million trout live in Lake Superior. • A large island 45 miles (72 km) long and 9 miles (14 km) wide sits in the middle of Lake Superior. The island, Isle Royale, has several

smaller lakes, making them, in essence, lakes on a lake. Isle Royale, along with 450 smaller islands, make up Isle Royale National Park. • The Wyandot Indians, or Hurons, who lived on its shores, lent their name to Lake Huron. Huron, the second-largest Great Lake and the fifth largest lake in the world, has the longest shoreline of any of the Great Lakes, 3,827 miles (6,157 km), which includes its many islands. Huron was the first of the Great Lakes to be discovered by European explorers, French explorers Samuel de Champlain and Etienne Brule, who travelled up the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers in 1615. They called it “La Mer Douce,” meaning the “sweet/fresh-water sea.” • The Ojibwa Indians originally named Lake Michigan “mishigami,” meaning ‘large lake.” The third largest Great Lake, Michigan is the only one located entirely within the United States. • Marathon swimmer Jim Dreyer started his swimming career with a 65-mile (105-km) swim across Lake Michigan in 1998. In 2003, he swam the length of 422 miles (679 km).
* Here’s a great recipe for DIY dishwasher pods for use in your automatic dishwasher: Mix 2 cups of baking soda, 2 cups of borax, a half cup of salt and 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Stir in 1/2 cup vinegar and allow it to settle. Then scoop it into an ice-cube tray and pack tightly. Let it dry overnight, then pop your pods out into an airtight baggie or jar. Label and store in a cool place. Use one per washing cycle.
• All of the Great Lakes have had a good amount of shipwrecks. On a frigid December day in 1854, the steamer Westmoreland, loaded with winter provisions for the troops on Mackinac Island, sprung a leak while in the middle of Lake Michigan. Within a short time, the boiler had flooded, the fire went out, and the ship lost its power. With the added weight of a thick coating of ice from the lake’s waves, the ship sank shortly afterward. Half of its 34 crew and passengers perished, with the other half making their way to safety aboard life boats on the rolling waves. It was rumored that the steamer contained $10,000 in gold coins, along with 280 barrels of whiskey. In 2010, over 155 years after the accident, the ship was discovered upright on the bottom, 200 feet (61 m) below the surface in a bay. To date, no discovery of gold has been reported.
* To get paint splatter off your hands after painting, try this old kitchen trick: Wet hands and then pour sugar or salt into palms. Use it as an abrasive to scrub paint away. * Waxed paper can shine a kitchen or bathroom faucet. Simply use it to buff away the marks. No spray cleaner necessary. * “If you have dirty blinds, keep in mind that spraying them with a liquid is going to turn the dust to muck. Always dry dust first, then use a barely damp microfiber cloth to remove spots. (This is for hard material blinds, not for fabric blinds.)” -- L.G. in Kansas * Sticky irons can ruin fabric. Never fear, though, because cleaning one is a cinch. Heat your iron to its hottest setting, no steam. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of salt onto a piece of newspaper. Iron over it, rubbing vigorously. Finish with a pass or two over a plain paper towel. * Track tools in a workshop by hanging them from a wall. Trace around the tools with chalk, and you can tell quickly what goes where when it’s time to clean up. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

• Another Lake Michigan disaster occurred in 1860, when a steamer carrying 600 people collided with a boat carrying timber to Chicago. The death toll of this collision was 450. • More than 1,000 shipwrecks have been recorded in Lake Huron, with many still at the lake’s bottom. A particularly severe storm in 1913 produced wind gusts of 90 mph (145 kph), and waves exceeding 35 feet (11 m). This 16-hour storm sank 10 ships, and killed 235 sailors. • Lake Erie’s name comes from the Iroquois language, derived from “erielhonan,” the word for long tail, a description of the lake’s shape. It’s the fourth largest in surface area, but the smallest by water volume. Although Erie is the smallest Great Lake in volume, it’s surrounded by the most industry. Seventeen large metropolitan areas border the Lake Erie basin. • Lake Erie is reportedly home to a 40-foot-long (12.2-m) snakelike sea monster named Bessie. First sighted in 1793, more recent sightings have been reported in 1960, 1969, four times in the 1980s, and again in 1990 by two Huron firefighters. An Ohio marine biologist says Bessie might be a large specimen of a lake sturgeon, which can live to age 150 and reach lengths in excess of 7 feet (2.1 m) and weights of 300 lbs. (136 kg), with a somewhat prehistoric appearance. During the 1800s, the Sandusky, Ohio area was known as the caviar capital of North America, as the source of

caviar is sturgeon eggs. More than 5 million lbs. (2,267,962 kg) of sturgeon were pulled from Lake Erie in 1885 for commercial harvest. Due to years of overharvesting, the sturgeon population experienced a dramatic decline, but is now making a comeback. A 7’4” (2.2 m), 250-lb. (113- kg) sturgeon was snagged from Lake Erie in 1998. • Lake Ontario takes its name from another Huron Indian word, meaning “lake of shining water.” The lake was not named after the Canadian province Ontario, rather it was the other way around with the province named after the lake. • Lake Ontario is the easternmost and the smallest of the five Great Lakes. Although smaller than Lake Erie, it’s much deeper and holds four times the volume of water. It’s located east of Lake Erie, and is at the base of Niagara Falls. • Baseball great Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run in Toronto Island’s Hanlan’s Point Stadium. Hanlan’s Point was the biggest ballpark in the minor leagues, a 17,000-seat facility that was the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs. In September of 1914, the Babe slammed the home run right into Lake Ontario. It’s believed the ball still rests at the bottom.
UNUSUAL PLANTS:
DAFFODILS Celebrate World Daffodil Day on August 25 by plucking a few facts about this cheery blossom. • Daffodils are also known as paperwhite, jonquil, and narcissus, and are members of the amaryllis family. The word “narcissus” has its origins in the Greek language for “to benumb,” referring to the narcotic properties of this plant. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a beautiful youth who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool, and pined away, unable to leave the beauty of his reflection. According to the myth, the gods turned him into a flower. Narcissus lent his name to the word “narcissism,” a fixation with one’s own physical appearance and abilities. • Although there are close to 60 different species of wild daffodils, at least 13,000 types have been created through selective breeding, with more being created every year. • The plant has a leafless stem that will have one to 20 trumpet-shaped blossoms on top. Although the most familiar color is yellow, other varieties can be found in white, orange, green, and pink. The plant varies in height from 6 inches to 20 inches (15 to 51 cm). • Daffodils bulbs store all the nutrients necessary to develop the stem and blooms. Bulbs planted in the Autumn will blossom in the Spring, sometimes pushing their way through the snow. Daffodils can also be grown from seeds, which are round and black with a hard protecting coating. • The stem and bulb of a daffodil contain a toxic alkaloid designed to keep predators at a distance. Squirrels know better than to eat daffodil bulbs because of the poisonous crystals, but the bulbs shouldn’t be planted if you have a dog who likes to dig. • Because of the toxic sap in the stem, daffodils shouldn’t be arranged in a vase with other flowers unless the daffodils have been soaked in water for 24 hours. Re-cutting the stems will cause a re-release of the toxin. Florists often have an allergic reaction to the flower called “daffodil itch.” • It’s odd that although the stem and bulb are toxic, another substance found in the bulb called narciclasine has been shown to have potential to treat breast cancer. In addition, an alkaloid known as galantamine found

in daffodils is proving effective against the FINAL symptoms of Alzheimers Disease. Even the ancient Romans cultivated daffodils for the sap they believed had healing properties. Ancient Egyptians used the juice of the wild daffodil as a cure for baldness. It’s not known whether or not it worked! • Although daffodils have been cultivated since ancient times, the name was not recorded in print until 1538. In 1623, William Shakespeare mentioned daffodils twice in Act 4 of his play “The Winter’s Tale.” • The daffodil is the national flower of the country of Wales, and the Welsh people wear a blossom on Saint David’s Day, March 1. Welsh legend claims that if you spy the first daffodil of the season, the coming 12 months will be filled with wealth. To these folks, it symbolizes new beginnings. The wedding cake of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton featured 17 different kinds of flowers, one of which was the daffodil. • During Victorian times, the flowers were a symbol of chivalry. If you receive a bouquet of daffodils, it’s a symbol and happiness, good fortune, and hope. However, a gift of a single daffodil is said to predict misfortune. PROOF #

BUTTERFLIES ‘Tis the season for butterflies, and Tidbits is fixing its attention on these members of the order Lepidoptera. • The word Lepidoptera has its origins in the Greek language, with Lepidos translating “scales” and ptera meaning “wings.” The four wings of a butterfly are covered with millions of overlapping, shingle-like rows of tiny scales,
which give the wings their color. The wings are actually clear, and it’s the reflection of light off the scales that produces the colors and patterns we see. If the scales were removed from a butterfly’s wings, it would still be able to fly, it just wouldn’t have any color. • There are about 24,000 species of butterflies around the world. Adding moths (which are also part of Lepidoptera) increases that number to nearly 165,000. Every continent except Antarctica is home to butterflies. • Although some butterflies can fly up to 30 mph (48 km/hr), most fly at 5 to 12 mph (8 to 19 km/hr). They can’t fly at all if their body temperature is less than 86 degrees F (30 C). • The lifespan of the butterfly varies from two days up to 11 months. Its life cycle consists of four parts, with each physical transformation a part of what is known as metamorphosis, a
A man was fishing in Lake Erie without a license when a stranger approached him and asked, “Any luck?”The man replied, “This is a wonderful spot! I took 10 out right here yesterday.”“Oh really? By the way, do you know who I am?” asked the stranger. “Nope,” was the man’s reply. “I’m the new game warden.” “Oh,” gulped the fisherman, “allow me to introduce myself. I’m the biggest liar in the state.”

In November, 1975, the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald departed Superior, Wisconsin enroute to a steel mill near Detroit, carrying a load of ore pellets. After being caught in a severe storm on Lake Superior, the ship sank in 530-feet-deep (1160-m) Canadian waters. All 29 aboard perished, and their bodies were never recovered. In May, 1976, the wreckage was discovered, with the ship lying in two large pieces. The ship’s bell was brought up in 1995 to be displayed in a museum.

word with Latin origins meaning “changing shape.” A female butterfly lays her eggs on a plant, attaching them with a special natural glue. Those eggs might hatch within a few days, although some take months or even years, depending on the conditions. Once the egg hatches, a tiny caterpillar crawls out and has its first meal – its own eggshell. It then starts munching on its host plant. • This caterpillar state, known as larva, is when most of the eating and growing occurs. As it grows, the covering splits and the caterpillar sheds its skin, a process that occurs five times before it changes into the pupa, or chrysalis, a stage in which a hard casing forms around the body. Inside the chrysalis, the butterfly’s six legs, proboscis, antennae, and wings are growing. In about 10 to 15 days, the pupa breaks open, and out comes the butterfly! Its wings emerge wet and crinkly, and it takes about an hour for them to be straight, dry, and strong enough for the butterfly to fly away. • The butterfly’s long flexible tongue, through which it sips its liquid food, is known as a proboscis. This tube-like tongue uncoils when it’s time to sip nectar, then coils up again into a spiral when not in use. The butterfly doesn’t sip only nectar from flowers – nourishment also comes from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dissolved minerals in puddles or wet sand, or even an animal’s open wound. • A butterfly can’t hear, but its eyes have 6,000 lenses that can see ultraviolet light, as well as the colors red, green, and yellow. They taste with their feet and they smell with their antennae. • The largest butterfly is the Queen Alexandra’s birdwing, found on the island of New Guinea. Its wingspan can reach 10.5 inches (27 cm). The species was discovered in 1906 by a collector. • It should come as no surprise that a group of butterflies is sometimes referred to as a flutter!

DEAR FRUSTRATED: At the risk of being blunt, forget about the dog park for a while. Blue needs to be able to respond to basic commands like “sit” and “stay,” and he needs to remain calm in situations with other dogs. Neither of these things is happening when you take him to the dog park. Blue’s behavior suggests he’s worried about the situation that you’re taking him into. Who are those dogs? What is this place? Is it safe? He doesn’t know, and he doesn’t know what to do, and he’s acting up. You must find what Blue’s anxiety triggers are. Chances are he is getting stressed well before he reaches the park. How do you do this? Teach Blue a basic command, like “sit” or “lie down,” until you are confident Blue will do it immediately. Later, on your walks, give him this command. If he responds well, he’s probably calm and focused, which is good. If his response falters or he doesn’t obey at all, something is up -- he’s getting distracted or stressed. Blue needs to develop confidence that he will be OK in unfamiliar situations. There are a number of methods to do this, and you can learn how by working with a trainer on ways to ease him into new environments. Send your questions, comments and tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

by Samantha Weaver * It was pioneering Mexican-American musician Carlos Santana who made the following sage observation: “The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.” * The beginning of a new school year seems a good time to note the origin of that lunchtime favorite, peanut butter. A Canadian named Marcellus Gilmore Edson patented the product in 1884, but it didn’t become popular in the United States until 1898. That was when John Harvey Kellogg’s Western Health Reform Institute began selling it at expensive health care institutions. It seems that protein-packed peanut butter was perfect for elderly patients who had trouble chewing. * Rats tend to be right-handed, too. Or, rather, “right-pawed.” * Standing desks, stand ready: There’s a new trend in workspaces. It seems that standing up while working isn’t enough to counteract the detrimental health effects of sitting in an office chair all day. Enter Fluidstance, a company that wants to help you surf your way through the workday. Their balance boards, designed to be used with standing desks, reportedly increase heart rate and improve range of motion, allowing users to burn calories while burning their way through the mundane tasks of office life. * Driving isn’t the only activity that is dangerous to mix with alcohol. Statistics show that 40 percent of skiers who get injured in the French Alps are legally drunk. Thought for the Day: “Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism.” -- Earl Warren (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
