TIDBITSÂŽ REMEMBERS SOME FAMOUS LAST WORDS
by Kathy Wolfe What thoughts go through a person’s mind in their last moments on Earth? This week, Tidbits recalls the famous last words of these wellknown folks. • Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti was enjoying a wildly successful career when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2006. One year later, Pavarotti proclaimed his final words, “I believe that a life lived for music is an existence spent wonderfully, and this is what I have dedicated my life to,â€? and went to sing with the angels. • Frenchman Nostradamus was an apothecary who published several collections of prophecies, which have rarely been out of print since his death. Followers of Nostradamus credit him with predicting many major world events. There was one event he predicted very accurately – his death. On July 1, 1566, he told his assistant, “Tomorrow at sunrise, I shall no longer be here.â€? Indeed, it was true. • In 1960, James W. Rodgers stood before a Utah firing squad awaiting his execution for the 1957 murder of a miner. His answer to the usual question, “Any last requests?â€? was, “Bring me a bullet-proof vest.â€? Rodgers was the last person to die by the firing squad in the U.S. for the next 17 years. ‌ turn the page for more!

HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Jury’s Still Out on E-Cigarettes --DEAR DR. ROACH: I was a smoker for 65 years, and I got tired of my doctor and everyone else telling me the dangers of smoking. I tried e-cigarettes about two months ago, and I am hooked on them. At first I didn’t like the taste, but now I have gotten used to it. There is a large amount of “smoke” from them, and it is darkening my teeth. What’s your take on this new fad? -- S.G. ANSWER: There is no doubt that tobacco has caused vast amounts of suffering and death. The jury is out on the net effect of e-cigarettes, but here are my thoughts. Although e-cigarettes are likely to be much less dangerous than regular cigarettes, there is no doubt in my mind that they are at least potentially harmful to health. On the good side, if they help you quit your smoking habit, they may have a benefit to you. You should use them to help you quit smoking, then ideally quit using them as well. However, there is a bad side, and that is when nonsmokers start using them. Some users don’t think of them as cigarettes at all, calling them “hookah pens,” “vape pens” or other euphemisms. They are simply devices to provide nicotine and flavorings. You used the term “hooked on them,” and they probably do have the potential for addiction. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Why is Lactaid effective? Since it is an enzyme, why isn’t it denatured by stomach acid, then digested like other proteins? I know from experience that it works, but the biologist and chemist in me doesn’t understand how. -- D.M. ANSWER: Lactase, the enzyme in Lactaid, breaks down the milk sugar lactose, which many people can’t digest, into smaller sugars, glucose and galactose. The symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, gas and diarrhea. It works best in a slightly acidic environment, but will indeed be digested like other enzymes in the stomach once stomach acid can bring the pH in the stomach to the very acidic range. It works only because it is able to break down sugar faster than it is itself broken down. Clever people have designed lactase in forms that resist stomach acid and are active in the small intestine, which ought to work better. However, Lactaid works well enough for many people intolerant of milk. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Years ago, I was told that eating raw carrots and fresh spinach improves vision. If this is true, why am I afflicted with macular degeneration after having eaten these for a long time? I also have taken vitamins to preserve vision for 10 years. Do these have justification? -- Anon. ANSWER: Fresh vegetables with beta carotene and certain multivitamins and minerals have been shown to slow the effect of age-related macular degeneration. It may be that you would have gotten macular degeneration both sooner and more severely had you not had a healthy diet and taken vitamins. Unfortunately, we don’t know of any preventive treatment -- nor any treatment once the disease has been diagnosed -- that is 100 percent effective. ***Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS (continued): • Once a grammarian, always a grammarian! The famous French grammar expert Dominique Bouhours lay on his death bed and spoke, “I am about to – or I am going to – die: either expression is correct.” • And speaking of all things proper, as Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, was being escorted to the guillotine to be executed for treason in 1793, she accidentally stepped on the foot of her executioner. This very polite lady expressed the apology, “Monsieur, I beg your pardon.” • After being diagnosed with cancer, legendary movie critic Roger Ebert wrote to the faithful readers of his blog that he would be taking leave for his treatment. The final words of his farewell were, fittingly, “I’ll see you at the movies.” • Who knows what Apple Computers co-founder Steve Jobs saw when he passed from this life to the next? His sister Patty reports that at the moment that pancreatic cancer claimed the life of this creative genius, he looked over her shoulder and proclaimed, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.” • One of the greatest basketball players of all time, Pete Maravich, had a magnificent ten-year career with the NBA. A severe knee injury forced him to retire in 1980. In 1988, while playing a pickup basketball game in the gym at a Pasadena, California, “Pistol Pete” collapsed Natural & Organic Groceries & Supplements church, and died at age 40, less than one 14 minute after saying, “I feel great.” Store Hours: Sheridan An autopsy revealed that he had Good Health Emporium Leather Mon. - Fri. 10 - 6 Outfitters been born without a left coronary • artery, necessary for supplying Sat. 10 - 4 blood to the heart’s muscle fiWerco Ave. 307 - 674 - 5715 bers.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS (continued): • Many famous men had kind words for their beloved before they passed into the Great Beyond. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who penned the stories of Sherlock Holmes, died in his garden with his wife at his side. After suffering a massive heart attack, he looked at her and said, “You are wonderful.” The last words of actor John Wayne, dying of stomach cancer, directed toward his wife were, “Of course I know who you are. You’re my girl. I love you.” Legendary coach Vince Lombardi died just three days after his 30th wedding anniversary, and the last words whispered to his wife Marie were, “Happy anniversary. I love you.” • There’s a difference of opinion on the last words of actor Humphrey Bogart. Some sources hold to the belief that he spoke, “Goodbye, Kid. Hurry back,” to wife Lauren Bacall as she left his bedside in the hospital to go pick up their children. When she returned, he was comatose and never regained consciousness. Others claim his final remark was, “I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.” • Baseball great Joe DiMaggio wasn’t with the one he loved when he passed on in 1999. Although married to actress Marilyn Monroe for just nine months in 1954, he carried a torch for her for the remainder of his life. After her death in 1962, Joe had roses sent to her grave twice a week for 20 years. His final words were, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.” • Showman Flo Ziegfeld brought musical revues, Broadway productions, and films to the world of entertainment, including his legendary Ziegfeld Follies, which ran from 1907 to the early 1930s. Ever the theatrical producer, his last words from his deathbed were, “Curtain! Fast music! Lights! Ready for the last finale! Great! The show looks good, the show looks good!” • What was on the minds of U.S. Presidents as they prepared to face the Great Beyond? First President George Washington seemed fulfilled with his life, if his last words in 1799 are any evidence: “It is well, I die hard, but I am not afraid to go.” Grover Cleveland remains the only U.S. President to serve two non-consecutive terms as the 22nd and the 24th chief executive. Well-known for his honesty, integrity, and fight against political corruption, it seems fitting that his last words, while in the throes of a gastro-intestinal disease, would be, “I have tried so hard to do right.” Franklin D. Roosevelt stated, “I have a terrific headache,” just moments before he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945. • Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy had no idea that their last words would in fact be their last. As Lincoln and his wife sat in Ford’s Theater watching the play “Our American Cousin,” Mary Todd Lincoln, worried about the opinions of the women seated next to them in their theater box, whispered to her husband, “What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so?” Abe’s last words before being shot by John Wilkes Booth were, “She won’t think anything about it.” As Kennedy rode in a Dallas motorcade in 1963, the wife of Governor John Connelly commented to him, “You certainly cannot say that the people of Dallas haven’t given you a nice welcome, Mr. President.” His answer of, “No, you certainly can’t,” were his final words before his assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald. • Ever the poet, Emily Dickinson, author of more than 1,800 poems, pronounced her last words in 1886, “I must go in, for the fog is rising.”

For Advertising Call (307) 655-5095 CINCO DE MAYO Since Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, occurs this week, Tidbits takes the opportunity to look into the history of this event. • In the United States, many mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day. Not so! That event is commemorated on September 16, marking the anniversary of Mexico’s call to arms against the Spanish colonial government in 1810. Cinco de Mayo is actually the celebration of the Mexican army’s victory of over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. In Mexico, the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla, which translates into English as “The Day of the Battle of Puebla.” • In 1861, after undergoing both the MexicanAmerican War and a civil war within their boundaries, the Mexican treasuries were nearly empty and the national economy was in ruins. The country was deeply in debt to France, Great Britain, and Spain, but was forced to default on its loans. President Benito Juarez declared that all payments on foreign debts would be suspended for a period of two years, and promised that payments would resume after that time. The three European countries sent armed forces to Mexico to demand payment. Negotiations were successful with Britain and Spain and those two countries withdrew their armies, but France, under the rule of Napoleon III, opted to attempt to expand its empire and install its own leader. • A well-outfitted and provisioned French force of over 6,500 soldiers began its march toward Mexico City. President Juarez rounded up a force of 4,000 loyal but ill-equipped Mexican men and sent them to the forts of Loreto and Guadalupe near Puebla. Many of them were not soldiers at all, but rather agricultural workers, armed with machetes and outdated rifles. (continued on last page).

Here, Kitty Kitty --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: How did cats get the nickname “Kitty?” -- Evelyn in Orlando DEAR EVELYN: Good question! It seems like everyone summons their cat using “Here, kitty kitty,” or calls their cat “Kitty” when they’re not addressing it by name. So where did this common name come from? It likely stems from “kitten,” the name for a young cat. This English word dates back to the Middle Ages and describes the offspring of domesticated cats and some smaller wildcats. (Offspring of lions, for example, are called “cubs.”) There are other names for cats, of course. There’s the scientific term for housecats, “felis catus” (which sounds a lot like a Harry Potter incantation). There’s the general term for all cats, “felines,” which includes big cats like tigers and lions, as well as wildcats and lynx and so on. And then there’s the other common name for housecats, which is “pussycats.” Fully grown male cats that haven’t been neutered are called “toms,” and fully grown female cats who haven’t been spayed are known as “queens.” (And they know it, too!) So, why do we often call full-grown cats “kitty”? I think it’s because we humans tend to see even grown domestic housecats as cute, small animals -- even though adult cats can be stone-cold killers of small birds, lizards and other creatures outdoors (which is another good reason to keep your cat indoors). What’s interesting is how most domesticated cats will respond to a call of “Here, kitty kitty.” That’s likely because the phrase is so frequently used in Western countries, that most cats have heard it many times throughout their lives.

GEORGE EASTMAN Folks have been taking pictures with a Kodak camera since 1888. Follow along and learn about its inventor George Eastman and his contributions to the photography industry. • Born in central New York State in 1854, George Eastman had a difficult childhood, with his father passing away when George was eight. His sister contracted polio when he was a teen. George’s mother took in boarders for the family’s financial survival, and at age 14, George quit school to go to work, first as an errand boy at an insurance company, and later as a junior clerk at the Rochester Savings Bank. • At age 23, an invitation from a friend changed Eastman’s life forever. He was invited on a vacation to Santo Domingo, and bought photographic equipment to document the trip. He found the gear to be enormous, heavy, and very expensive. Eastman never took the trip, but was inspired to research the invention of improved methods of taking pictures. • For three years, Eastman experimented in his mother’s kitchen, seeking an easier way to develop negatives. He developed gelatin emulsions that led to his patent of a dry-plate coating machine. He founded the Eastman Dry Plate Company when he was 30. Continued experiments led to a patent of rollable film to replace glass negatives. • Eastman introduced the Kodak camera in 1888, inventing the name that would be familiar for decades to come. He explained the name, “The letter ‘K’ had been a favorite with me. It seems a strong, incisive sort of letter.” He tried several combinations of letters, wanting a word that started and ended with “K”. • The first Kodak camera cost $25 and came with 100 exposures. The user would send the camera into Kodak for the film to be developed. The advertising slogan was, “You press the button, we do the rest.” • The following year the company developed a type of flexible film that helped establish the motion picture industry and Eastman’s success continued to surge. • The Eastman Kodak Company was founded in 1892, bringing convenient, easy-to-use cameras to the common man. In 1900, Eastman introduced the first Brownie camera, intended for children and priced at $1, with film selling for 15 cents a roll. • In 1902, Eastman began building a mansion in Rochester, New York, a 35,000-square-foot, 50-room house with the latest in heating and electricity, telephones, and an elevator. It took three years and $335,000 to complete. Today, the home is the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, and is a National Historic Landmark. • Upon his retirement, Eastman embarked on African safaris, bringing home a white rhinoceros and an elephant, which he displayed in his home. In his early 70s, Eastman was diagnosed with a crippling spinal disease. After enduring excruciating pain for over four years, in 1932, Eastman took his own life. His last words, penned in a suicide note were, “To my friends: My work is done. Why wait?” • A generous philanthropist, Eastman donated more than $100 million to education and the arts, public parks, hospitals, and dental clinics (about $2 billion in today’s dollars). He supported the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with $20 million, as well as establishing the Eastman School of Music. Having never married, he willed his entire estate to the University of Rochester.

CINCO DE MAYO (continued): • Early on the morning of May 5, French General Charles de Lorencez led his attack, supported by heavy artillery, on the Mexican forces. Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza commanded the counter-attack and after a day-long battle, Mexico emerged the victor, having defeated the French army that was considered the “premier army in the world.” Although vastly outnumbered, the Mexicans suffered less than 100 casualties, while the French had five times that many. • This was just one battle in the war against French occupation (which did not end for another six years), but the victory at Puebla was a great boost to the morale of the patriotic resistance movement. Napoleon III responded to the defeat by sending 30,000 more troops to Mexico, eventually taking over Mexico City and appointing Maximilian as the ruler of Mexico. His rule lasted but three years until 1867. The U.S. began providing military assistance to Mexico, France withdrew, and Maximilian was eventually executed. • Today, Cinco de Mayo is just a minor holiday in Mexico, primarily observed only in the state of Puebla. It is much more of a celebration in the United States, where it is seen as an observance of Mexican heritage. The largest festivals in America are held in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.
