by Kathy Wolfe The unexplained…the unresolved…the unanswered. This week, Tidbits investigates some baffling happenings whose endings haven’t yet been written.

• On June 1, 1937, aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan departed Miami on a 29,000 mile (46,671 km) journey, attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Their last contact was on July 2 from the vicinity of Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean, just 7,000 miles (11,265 km) from completing their goal.

Earhart stated in her last radio transmission that the plane was low on gas. Within an hour of that contact, searches had begun, including 60 planes launched from an aircraft carrier that stayed in the area until July 18. The plane had disappeared without a single trace. The official version of her disappearance is that she crashed and sank in the 18,000-foot-deep (5,486 m) ocean. Another version claimed that the plane went down in the Marshall Islands and the pair were picked up by the Japanese, imprisoned in Saipan, and executed there. Yet another theory states that they remained castaways and lived out their lives on a Pacific island. Scores of searches have been launched over the years, including the most recent in June, 2015, when a 14-member team scoured the uninhabited South Pacific island of Nikumaroro with no results.

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Barriers to Getting Shingles Vaccine --DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 61 years old, and was anxious to get a shingles vaccine shot. I was upset to learn that, because I am allergic to neomycin, an ingredient in the vaccine, I cannot get vaccinated. I have talked to my doctor and a pharmacist about options, but they don’t know of any. Do you know of anything I could use to protect myself against shingles? -- B.G.P. ANSWER: If it’s a severe (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says “life-threatening”) reaction to neomycin, then you cannot get the vaccine. There is no other way to reliably prevent getting shingles.

Keeping your immune system healthy (good diet, regular exercise, good sleep) may help. However, the most important thing for you and others who haven’t been vaccinated will be to recognize shingles early and get treated immediately. Being treated early, preferably within 24 hours of the rash, can reduce the duration of symptoms.

Shingles usually starts with pain, burning or itching on one side of the body in a particular location, called a dermatome. This might be a band around the torso, the top of the arm or part of the face. The classic description of the rash is a clear, fluid-filled blister on reddened skin (“dewdrop on a rose petal”), but it does not always look so classic. See your doctor immediately after any painful rash shows up in a single area of the body. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I had chickenpox as a child. I am 60 years old and was shocked to find out that the shingles vaccine costs $249 here. My doctor offers it, but I cannot afford the cost, as my insurance does not cover it. Do you know of a place where I can get the vaccine at little or no cost? -- M.B. ANSWER: It is frustrating that a recommended and potentially cost-saving measure like a vaccine costs so much out of pocket. However, the drug company (Merck) does have a rebate program that covers much of the cost for people with insurance that does not cover the shot. You can find out more at www.rebate4zostavax. com or at 1-888-ZOSTA-INFO. You have to pay for the vaccine, then get your rebate.

Shingles questions are among the most frequently asked by readers. The booklet on the shingles virus answers many of them. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1201W, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had allergies for the past 50 years. Every morning, my nose runs for approximately 15-30 minutes. I can’t take antihistamines due to heart issues. Any suggestions? -- E.A.K. ANSWER: Most people with heart and blood pressure issues who are warned about allergy medicines are warned about decongestants, not antihistamines. It may be safe for you to take an antihistamine, so you should ask your internist or cardiologist. I also have had good results using an antihistamine nasal spray such as levocabastine in people who can’t tolerate antihistamines by mouth. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. To view and order health pamphlets, visit www.rbmamall.com, or write to Good Health, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

HISTORY’S MYSTERIES (continued): • In November of 1971, Dan Cooper, having paid $18.52 for a ticket, boarded a Boeing 727 on Northwest Airlines Flight 305 in Portland, Oregon, along with 36 others, bound for Seattle. (A press communication later mislabeled the man as “D.B. Cooper.”) Shortly into the flight, Cooper passed a note to the flight attendant, advising her that his briefcase contained a bomb. Thinking he was giving her his phone number, she stuck the unopened note into her pocket. Her indifference caused Cooper to speak to her, “Miss, you’d better look at that note. I have a bomb.” The note listed a demand for $200,000 in unmarked $20 bills and four parachutes. He received his cash and parachutes when the plane landed in Seattle, he set the passengers free, and commanded the pilot to fly him to Mexico, flying “low and slow” and leaving the back door unlocked.

Five Air Force fighter planes tailed the jet, but not a soul witnessed Cooper’s jump into the rainy night somewhere between Seattle and Reno, Nevada. And D.B. Cooper has never been seen again. Nine years later, a family vacation led to the discovery of some of D.B. Cooper’s ransom money.

An eight-year-old boy was looking for firewood near the border between WashNatural & Organic Groceries & Supplements ington and Oregon discovered $5,800 in decaying $20 14 bills along the banks of the Sheridan Good Health Emporium Columbia River. The serial Leather Outfitters numbers confirmed it was • the hijacker’s money. No other money has ever been Werco Ave. found, and considering the rugged wilderness, the FBI has always maintained that • Firestone Cooper could not have surComplete Auto Care vived his caper.

HISTORY’S MYSTERIES (continued): • In 1587, Englishman John White led 120 colonists to establish a settlement on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. Just a few weeks later, his daughter gave birth to the first English child born in the New World. Shortly afterward, a shortage of supplies sent White back to England. His return to North Carolina was drastically delayed for three years by a naval war with Spain. When White finally landed on Roanoke in 1590, the settlers had vanished without a trace. The buildings had collapsed and houses were dismantled. The only clue left to their whereabouts was the word “Croatoan” carved on a fence post and “CRO” on a tree. Some believe this referred to Croatoan Island (Hatteras Island today), 50 miles (80 km) south. It was also the name of a small group of Native Americans in the area. Searches turned up no survivors, but it may well be that the settlers sought help from the tribes and were gradually assimilated. A 1709 publication quoted Croatans who claimed to have white ancestors, and early colonists reported encounters with gray-eyed Native Americans.

• Experts have long debated whether the Lost City of Atlantis was real or fictional. Described in Plato’s dialogues written about 330 B.C., Plato described it as a powerful and advanced kingdom that fell from the gods’ favor and sank into the ocean around 9600 B.C. “in a single day and night of misfortune.” Supposedly, the kingdom was on an island larger than “Libya and Asia Minor put together,” located in the Atlantic just beyond the Pillars of Hercules, which is believed to be the Strait of Gibraltar. The location has been linked with the Greek island of Santorini, which was destroyed by a volcano around 1600 B.C. The philosopher Aristotle joked about “Plato’s ability to conjure nations out of thin air and then destroy them,” but the legend of the long-lost utopia still fascinates today. No trace of the city has ever been found.

• UFO or government cover-up? In the summer of 1947, 75 miles (121 km) from Roswell, New Mexico, a sheep rancher discovered some unusual debris in his pasture – metal sticks, chunks of plastic, foil reflectors, and heavy paper-like material. It wasn’t long after the rancher contacted the authorities that soldiers invaded his property and quickly scooped the pieces into armored trucks. While the U.S. military assured the public that it was a crashed weather balloon, the pieces didn’t resemble that at all. Many insisted that the debris was a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft, complete with alien passengers. The UFO supporters claimed that the craft and its occupants had been captured and covered up by the military. Fifty years later, the military issued a report declaring that the mysterious wreckage was part of a top-secret atomic espionage project called Project Mogul. The report stated that the fragments really were a weather balloon, but one whose real purpose was to carry classified information. Yet there are still those who subscribe to the UFO theory, as demonstrated by the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors to the Roswell site.

• In November of 1872 the ship Mary Celeste left New York harbor with Captain Briggs, his wife, daughter, and eight crew members, with a destination of Italy. A month later, the ship was discovered floating in the Atlantic with no one aboard. The captain’s log and the life boat were missing; otherwise, the undamaged ship was intact. None of the travelers were ever seen again. The ship had been renamed after numerous other mishaps had befallen the craft, including three captains dying aboard the ship and the breakout of supposedly accidental fires.

Andi’s Coffee House It started as a dream and soon became a reality. With lots of hard work, an old run-down house has become Andi’s Coffee House. The name Andi’s is a combination of the two owners’ names: Annie and Dionne. It is the perfect mix of delicious coffee/baking and excellent customer service. Stop by Andi’s Coffee House today – discover your happy place.

738 Broadway Sheridan, WY Open Monday to Saturday 7am – 11pm.

Tidbits: When did you start this business? What path brought you here?

Dionne: We started talking about it in March of 2014 and opened our doors May 8, 2015.

T: How is your business different from your competitors?

D: We would like to think our business has a lot of heart in it. Many times, you visit places that may have great products or whatever but the heart connection is missing. We want you to get a feeling at Andi’s, not just a coffee or a pastry.

T: Who has influenced you the most in business?

D: My brother-in-law, Drew, has taught me a lot about business. He owns First Choice Builders, a company I’ve worked for in the last several years. I’ve also learned a lot from people like Dave Ramsey, Ivanka Trump, and other well-known business personalities.

T: If you could start over would you do anything different?

D: No, not really. It’s been a fun journey. Lots of learning going on, which is the way I like it.

T: Are there any major obstacles that you overcame to get where you are today?

D: For sure. The biggest obstacles have been the ones you can’t see or explain. Like learning to believe in ourselves and our ideas and to share them. I think anyone who’s been in business can relate to the obstacles beyond the physical work.

T: What do you like most in your career/company?

D: I love the people. The people are the heart and soul of the business, whether it’s customers or employees.

They make Andi’s what it is. I am also deeply inspired by challenge aka being told something can’t be done and then turning around and doing it.

T: What are your interests/hobbies outside of work?

D: I have another online business, Black Poodle, which I pour a lot of my spare time into. I am excited about growing that, along with Andi’s. But sometimes I don’t work, and then I like to travel or relax.

T: Do you have anything else you would like to tell the public about your business (Upcoming sales, etc.)?

D: In the next month or so, we are going to be talking a lot about our special orders.

We love to prepare special bakery orders for groups of people, so be expecting to hear more about that, or let us know if you have an event coming up where you’d like to serve some great bakery.

Talk to your neighbors, then talk to me.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta Litter-Box Problems --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Lately, two of my three cats seem to be “missing” the litter-box on their visits to it. I mean, they’ll use the box, but they spray the wall it backs up to or go on the edge. My third cat has no problem. How can I stop the other two? -- Amy, via email

WHODUNIT? Some of history’s mysteries include crimes that were never solved. Tidbits checks out some unsolved mysteries that have not been explained.

• There’s been no sign of Teamsters’ Union president Jimmy Hoffa since July 30, 1975. That’s the day he told his wife he was meeting two men (reportedly Mafia leaders) at Detroit’s Red Fox Restaurant for lunch. Hoffa had been involved with organized crime for many years during his union work. He had been convicted of attempted bribery of a grand juror and fraud, and was sentenced to eight years, of which he served less than five.

Shortly after his release from prison, he received a $1.7 million lump sum pension from the Teamsters. On the day of his disappearance, bystanders claim they saw Hoffa taken away in the back seat of a car. The mobsters denied having any scheduled meeting with Hoffa. Although several individuals have claimed responsibility for Hoffa’s death, no human remains have ever been found and the case remains open. One theory is that his body was buried under New Jersey’s Meadowlands stadium. Another is that it is in a Michigan gravel pit. Most theories involve his body being encased in cement.

• Was Massachusetts Sunday School teacher Lizzie Borden really an ax murderer? Although she was acquitted of the murders of her father and stepmother, since 1892, she has remained the prime suspect, and no one else was ever charged. A hatchet was discovered in the basement of the family home, but the handle was broken off and the blade was clean. Lizzie’s father was extremely wealthy (almost $10 million in today’s money) and was very unpopular, having made many enemies through shady business dealings. However, Lizzie had frequently exhibited signs of mental instability and hostility toward her stepmother. (continued on last page).

DEAR AMY: In my experience, many litter box problems occur in homes with more than one cat. These problems include spraying or defecating outside the box, even when the cat are standing inside of it.

Some cats also eliminate away from the litter box.

Your third cat may have no problem because in the kitty pecking order, it is “top cat.” The others may be intimidated -- especially if it hangs around the litter box, giving them “the look.” Your cats also might be too large for the box or suffer health problems, including disease or obesity.

Try these methods first, and see if the spraying problem is curtailed. * Buy four litter boxes: one for each cat, plus one extra. Keep one where the original box stood, and place the others in quiet, easily accessible areas, on every floor of your home. * Make sure the litter boxes are big enough for your cats to sit or crouch in them comfortably. If you buy covered boxes, make sure the cats fit through the opening. * Use unscented litters, and forgo plastic liners; many cats don’t like them. * Scoop the boxes daily, and wash them with soap and water monthly.

If these steps don’t stop the spraying problem, take all three cats to the vet to rule out possible medical conditions.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: BATS Tidbits has bats in the belfry! We’re taking the time this week to examine this large group of nocturnal mammals.

• There are more than 1,200 species of bats, and they comprise nearly a quarter of all mammal species on earth. More than half of all bats in the U.S. are either endangered or their population is declining.

• Although to many, bats seem scary and creepy, they are vital to the ecosystem in controlling pests and participating in pollination. Seventy percent of bats consume insects, contributing to a large part of natural pest control. One brown bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in one hour!

Nearly 30% of the other species have a diet of various fruits. A very small percentage dine on fish, mice, and frogs.

• There are only three species of what we call vampire bats, those that feed on the blood of animals, and all of those are native only to Latin America. Many of us fear these blood drinkers, but they can be very beneficial to humans. Their saliva contains an enzyme that dissolves blood clots, which can be used to treat stroke victims. An Animal Planet poll revealed that vampire bats are the third-most feared animal in the world. Wolves and gorillas are the only ones ahead.

• The bumblebee bat, native to Thailand, is the world’s smallest mammal, only about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long, and weighing less than a penny. The largest bat is the Giant Golden Crowned Flying Fox that lives on islands in the South Pacific. This species weighs about 3 lbs. (1.3 kg) and has a wingspan of up to 6 feet (1.8 m).

• Many people associate bats with rabies, but in the U.S., an average of only two people die per year from rabies from a bat. Bats can also spread histoplasmosis, or “cave disease,” a fungus found in bat droppings. Those who breathe in the infected spores can experience chills, muscle and joint pain, chest discomfort, and a rash.

• Bat dung, called guano, is one of the richest fertilizers available, with high levels of phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. During the U.S. Civil War, guano was used to make gunpowder.

• As nocturnal animals, bats sleep during the day, hanging upside down from trees or from the roofs of caves, gripping with their sharp claws. On the hunt at night, they might fly 30 miles (48 km) to locate food, which they can locate in total darkness. They find insects by emitting highpitched sounds, 10 to 20 beeps per second and listening for echoes. The bat has a very long tongue for feeding, which it wraps around its rib cage when not in use.

• While some mammals might glide, the bat is the only mammal capable of continued flight.

The wing membranes make up about 95% of the bat’s body surface area.

• Many bats have a long life span, including the brown bat that can live nearly 40 years.

• A colony of bats usually varies in size from 100 to 1,000 bats. The world’s largest known bat colony in the world is in Texas’ Bracken Bat Cave, where more than 20 million bats live. When groups exit the cave, the mass is so large, it resembles a gigantic storm on radar.

WHODUNIT? (continued): • Although Bruno Hauptmann was executed in 1936 for the kidnapping and murder of the son of aviator Charles Lindbergh, there are many who believed Hauptmann was framed for the crime. He denied all accusations and claimed he had been beaten by the police. The 20-month-old child was taken from his bed in March of 1932 and a massive investigation was launched within less than an hour. A ransom note asking for $50,000 was found in the nursery, but after it was paid, the location given as to where the baby could be found proved false.

Seventy-two days later, the body was found in the woods near the Lindbergh house. Money with serial numbers matching the ransom was found in the home of Hauptmann, who claimed he was keeping it for a friend, who had since died.

He maintained his innocence to the end, and his final words included the statement, “I protest my innocence of the crime for which I was convicted.” Trial discrepancies and new evidence discovered in recent years have raised doubts about Hauptmann’s guilt.

• More than 125 years after five London women were murdered in a killing spree, Jack the Ripper remains a mystery. Over 100 suspects have been named as the possible serial killer, including a mentally disturbed surgeon, a barber, a butcher, a bootmaker, and a poet. In 1992, the diary of a Liverpool cotton merchant named James Maybrick was discovered, containing descriptions of the crime only the killer could have known. However, the man who had uncovered the diary admitted to its forgery three years later.
