Two guys were waiting to get into the Super Bowl stadium. First Guy: “I wish I’d brought my piano to the stadium.” Second Guy: “Why would you bring a piano to the Super Bowl?” First Guy: “Because I left the tickets on it.”
TIDBITS® HEADS TO THE SUPER BOWL
by Kathy Wolfe In preparation for Super Bowl Sunday on February 1, Tidbits focuses on the history and interesting facts of this famous sporting event. • The Super Bowl has always been played on a Sunday, with the first on January 15, 1967 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. The game wasn’t called the Super Bowl that year, but rather the “World Championship of Professional Football.” The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10, with the Green Bay quarterback Bart Starr named the MVP. Green Bay was also the winner of the second Super Bowl. • Until 2002, the Super Bowl was always played in January, typically the last Sunday of the month. Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, television schedules were delayed by one week, which pushed the Super Bowl back a week into February. The following year, the game was held in January but has been in February ever since. This year, Super Bowl XLIX will take place in The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, home of the Arizona Cardinals, and will be the second Super Bowl played in that stadium. • The term Super Bowl did not appear on the game tickets until 1970, and wasn’t identified with Roman numerals until 1971.

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Premature Heartbeats Are Extremely Common DEAR DR. ROACH: I went to a walk-in clinic because I had chest pain. They did an EKG and saw extra beats (PVCs). They recommended I go to a cardiologist, and he put me on a heart monitor, which showed that I had 5,000 extra beats within 24 hours. He had me come back in two weeks and did an echocardiogram (heart muscles are perfect) and heart monitor (still extra beats). He did a stress test, and it was normal. He has no idea why I have extra beats. I have a feeling they have been going on for a long period of time, because when the nurse asked me if I could feel them while she was doing the echo, it felt like a flutter, and I had been feeling them for at least a year (I didn’t know what it was). He has me coming back to see him in three months. Can you give me some insight? -- D.J. ANSWER: Premature beats are very common, almost universal, and come in two types: premature atrial beats (PACs) and premature ventricular beats (PVCs). These can happen in people with perfectly normal hearts, but your cardiologist did exactly the recommended tests, including an EKG, echocardiogram and stress test. This is to be sure your heart function and blood flow are normal. Since they are, you don’t need to do anything about it unless the fluttering sensation is bothering you. There are several mechanisms for PVCs. The electrical system of the heart can develop a kind of shortcircuit, called a re-entry loop, which is the most common cause. Individual heart muscle cells also can trigger a premature beat. If you desire treatment, the usual treatment is a beta blocker, which can reduce symptoms. Other medications also are used. In cases where medications don’t work, radio waves can be used to stop the areas of the heart where the extra beats arise. The booklet on abnormal heart rhythms explains atrial fibrillation and the more common heart-rhythm disturbances in greater detail.

It also felt very warm. I went to my doctor, who diagnosed it as shingles and treated me with gabapentin. I can’t recall how long I took the pills, but eventually he told me to wean myself off of them. My question is: Did I really have shingles? I had the pain, but no sores or blisters. -- T.K. ANSWER: There is a condition called zoster sine herpete, which means “zoster without the blisters.” I have seen cases where the pain precedes the blisters by months -- once by 18 months -- but I haven’t personally seen a case where the blisters never show. Still, given your history, I think there’s a very good chance that your doctor was right. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

THE SUPER BOWL (continued): • In 2016, the Super Bowl will celebrate its 50th anniversary. However, it will not be known as Super Bowl L, using the Roman numeral for 50. It will revert back to Roman numerals in 2017, when it will use LI for the 51st game, which will be held in Houston. • The name Super Bowl is attributed to the Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who came up with the idea after watching his young daughter playing with a Whamo Super Ball, a toy introduced in 1965 that could bounce six times higher than an ordinary rubber ball. That very ball can be seen exhibited at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. • The Pittsburgh Steelers have won more Super Bowls than any other team. They have played in eight games and emerged the victor in six of those appearances. The Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers are close behind with five victories each. Out of seven appearances at the Super Bowl, the Denver Broncos have lost five, the record for the most losses. The team with the most consecutive appearances is the Buffalo Bills from 1990 to 1993. Unfortunately for the Bills, all four of those were losses. Four NFL teams have never made it to the Super Bowl – the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lyons, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans. • Only one team has won Super Bowls in four different decades, the New York Giants, and only one team has lost in four different decades, the New England Patriots. The Minnesota Vikings have played in four Super Bowls, but have never led at any point during any of those games. • Three men have been a winner in the Super Bowl both as a player and as a head coach – Tony Dungy, Mike Ditka, and Tom Flores.

THE SUPER BOWL (continued): • The NFL has a policy that the game must be held in a stadium that has a climate of at least 50 degrees F (10 C), unless it is enclosed. The first indoor game was in 1978. Perhaps this was the result of the record coldest Super Bowl temperature of 39 degrees F (4 C) in New Orleans for the 1972 game. • A ticket to the first Super Bowl in 1967 cost between $6 and $12. In 2014, the cheapest ticket was around $1,800, while the most expensive seat was close to $450,000. The average price for last year’s game was $3,715, the highest average since the game’s inauguration. • It’s quite an honor to be chosen to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the big game. In the inaugural game, it was performed by the University of Arizona and University of Michigan marching bands along with the UCLA choir. Over the years, the privilege has shifted to pop stars, including Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, Whitney Houston, Cher, and Beyonce Knowles. Two singers have been invited twice – Billy Joel and Aaron Neville. The ranks of “American Idol” have been represented several times with singers Jordin Sparks, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Clarkson, and judges Harry Connick, Jr. and Mariah Carey. The last time the game was opened with an instrumental performance of the national anthem was at Super Bowl XXII in 1988 when trumpeter Herb Alpert presented the “Banner.” On one occasion, the national anthem was not sung. That was back in 1977 when Vicky Carr sang “America the Beautiful” instead. • 1992 marked the first year the national anthem was performed in sign language, and since then, a signer has performed along with the vocalist every year. Christina Aguilera made history in 2011 when she forgot the words to the anthem, completely skipping the line about the flag’s broad stripes and bright stars. • The half-time show has turned into quite an extravaganza over the years. For the first 10 years, the program featured marching bands. In 1976, the group Up With People broke that pattern. Gradually halftime has progressed to top entertainers, with Michael Jackson performing in 1993. Other notable half-timers include Gloria Estefan, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Aerosmith, Britney Spears, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones. In 2014, Bruno Mars sang to a record-breaking television audience of 115.3 million, and earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program. • Lots of Super Bowl viewers watch the game just for the clever commercials. Back in 1967, a 30-second commercial for the first game could be had for around $42,000. Twenty years later the price was $58,000, ten years after that in 1997, it was $1.2 million for the same length of time. In 2007, it cost $2.6 million. In 2014, 43 advertisers paid a record $4.5 million for a commercial. That’s about double the price for the same time during the Oscars telecast. The average commercial costs about $1 million to produce. • A Super Bowl ring is valued at about $5,000, depending on the price of gold and diamonds at the time they are created by Josten, the primary supplier of high school and college graduation rings. The NFL springs for the price of 70 rings to the winning team, who can distribute them to whomever they please, even non-players. • Look for more Super Bowl facts in this issue.

Special-Needs Pets DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I saw a social-media post today about a bobcat that was considered “special needs” and couldn’t be released back into the wild. What exactly is defined as special needs in an animal? -- Darla J., Jacksonville, Fla.
NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: BINNEY & SMITH The inventions of Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith are used every single day around the world. Although their most famous creation is the crayon, they are responsible for other conveniences as well, as you’ll discover as you read along. • In 1884, Edwin Finney’s father Joseph founded the Peekskill Chemical Company in Peekskill, N.Y. The company’s specialty was creating colors of black and red, for example, lampblack, printing ink, charcoal, and a paint containing red iron oxide used to paint American barns red. The company earned a gold medal award in chemical and pharmaceutical arts at the 1900 Paris Exposition for their ingenuity in creating black chemical colorants. Peekskill went on to achieve notoriety for an idea presented to the B.F. Goodrich Company. By adding carbon black to the traditional white automobile tire, not only did the color of the tire change, but the process strengthened the rubber and improved tread life, making the tires five times more durable. • Edwin’s cousin C. Harold Smith joined the company around 1885, and they expanded their product line to include shoe polish. In 1900, the cousins purchased a stone mill in Easton, Pennsylvania, a region where a large supply of slate could be found. This paved the way for the production of slate pencils for schools. • Binney began experimenting with a mixture of slate waste, cement, and talc, and before long had created the first dustless white chalk. The company was awarded a gold medal for their AnDu-Septic Dustless Chalk at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. For the next 50 years, Crayola used the image of their gold medal on their crayon packages. • Binney & Smith had already developed the Staon-al industrial wax marking crayon for marking shipping crates and barrels in 1902. But the formula, which was full of carbon black, was considered too toxic for use by children, so they began experimenting with a safer recipe using paraffin wax and colored pigments. Binney’s wife Alice, a former schoolteacher, conceived the name for their new product by combing two French words – craie, meaning chalk, and ola, short for oleagineux, the French word for oily, because they were made of petroleum-based wax. In 1905, the company began selling a box of eight crayons for a nickel, and the product was an instant success. They quickly expanded to 18 different sizes of crayon boxes with five different sizes of crayons. • Next, Crayola expanded their line to include items for art students, such as Perma-Pressed sharpenable fine art crayons and Artista brand paints. • Although Smith died in 1928 and Binney in 1934, Crayola continued to grow, introducing a 48-pack of assorted color crayons in 1949, and 64 colors in 1958 in a box that had a built-in sharpener for the first time. Today there are more than 100 different types of Crayola crayons, including those that have glitter added, some that glow in the dark, others that smell like flowers, or change color, and still others that can be easily washed off walls. Crayola markers were introduced in 1978. • Crayons were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1998.
DEAR DARLA: “Special needs” defines any animal, domestic or wild, that requires additional care beyond what might be considered normal for its species. That need could be due to a physical injury, illness or emotional/behavioral problems. We most often hear about behavioral problems in dogs, especially those that were abused or abandoned. But other pets and wild animals also can have behavioral issues. It takes a lot of attention, patience and skill to care properly for these animals. Likewise for animals that come into shelters and rehab facilities that have been injured or are ill: Their emotional/behavioral issues often go hand in hand with their physical issues. People looking to adopt a pet from a shelter often are told that a dog or cat has special needs, or has specific issues that must be addressed. While responsible shelters do their best to rehabilitate a pet prior to putting it up for adoption -- including fostering the pet to more experienced volunteers who can help reduce behavioral issues -- prospective pet owners need to be aware of a pet’s health and behavioral needs and be prepared to address them. A special-needs pet will need more attention from its new family. That usually includes specific medical treatment, with more veterinary visits and a medication routine that must be met, plus more training and attention than a healthy pet might need. Owners must be prepared to dedicate extra time and expense to such pets. It’s often worth the effort. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
MORE SUPER BOWL FACTS • More than 100 million people watch the Super Bowl every year. Only one other event has surpassed 100 million, 1983’s series finale of M*A*S*H*. • In terms of the amount of food eaten on any particular day, Super Bowl Sunday is second only to Thanksgiving. It should be no surprise that Super Bowl Sunday is the highest pizza sales day of the year. Domino’s Pizza alone sells more than 11 million pizza slices on the day, about 80% more than a normal Sunday. An estimated 1.25 billion chicken wings will be consumed during the game. Back in 2000, gamewatchers ate about 8 million lbs. (3,628,739 kg) of avocados during the Super Bowl, but with that industry’s increased advertising and emphasis on guacamole snacks, thet number has skyrocketed to 79 million lbs. (35,833,797 kg). If you’re counting, that’s about 158 million avocados. • The Vince Lombardi Trophy awarded to the winner of the Super Bowl takes four months to create. It’s manufactured in Parsippany, New Jersey, by Tiffany, who has made every single trophy since the first game in 1967. The trophy wasn’t called the Lombardi Trophy back then, when the legendary coach led his Green Bay Packers to the first two victories. The game was called the AFL-NFL World Championship and up until 1971, the trophy was inscribed with the words “World Professional Football Championship.”

MORE SUPER BOWL FACTS(continued):
After Lombardi died of colon cancer in 1970, the trophy was renamed and the Baltimore Colts became the first team to receive it as the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl V. The trophy is made entirely of sterling silver and stands 22 inches (56 cm) tall, weighing 7 lbs. (3.2 kg). The silver itself is valued around $3,500, but the completed trophy’s worth is given as $25,000. • Although Peyton Manning was 37 years and 10 months old when he played in 2014’s Super Bowl, he wasn’t the oldest quarterback to play in the championship game. That honor belongs to John Elway, who was 38 when he played in Super Bowl XXXIII in 1998. Elway was also that game’s MVP. The youngest starting Super Bowl quarterback was Ben Roethlisberger, who at 23, was the winning QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL in 2006. • Jerry Rice has scored the most Super Bowl touchdowns of any player. Rice achieved eight TD’s in four different games, in three games as a San Francisco 49er and in one as an Oakland Raider. Emmitt Smith is a distant second with five touchdowns in his three games as a Dallas Cowboy. • The last time the Super Bowl was a day game, ending before the local sunset, was in January of 1977. • In 2011, Cowboy Stadium in Dallas ran into some seating difficulties when they failed to properly install a section of temporary seats. This left 1,250 ticket holders without seats. Officials were able to place 850 people around the stadium in vacant seats, but 400 remained unseated. NFL promised a triple refund for the $800 tickets to all 1,250 people. • In 1981, the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans honored the 52 American hostages who had just been released from 444 days in captivity in Iran by displaying a gigantic yellow ribbon over the main entrance to the stadium.
