Q: What kind of shoes do spies wear? A: Sneakers!
TIDBITS® WEARS SHOES
by Janet Spencer On July 5, 1858, the first shoe manufacturing www.wyomingroofing.com machine was patented in Massachusetts. Come 2175 Skyline Drive - Sheridan along with Tidbits as we wear shoes! IN THE BEGINNING • A slipshoe was an old word for a slipper, comfortable footwear for use in the home. People who wore these informal slippers in public places instead of the regular shoes were said to be “slipshod.” Now it means anything done in a careless fashion. • When horses are “rough-shod” they have shoes on which have the ends of the nails sticking out. This gives the horse more traction, but it tears up the ground the animal travels over. When someone “rides rough-shod” over another person, they are trampling the ground beneath them without caring. 1836 S. Sheridan Ave. • Wooden shoes called “sabots” were popular in 307-673-0786 days gone by because they were cheaper than leather shoes. They gave us our word “sabotage.” One story is that when workers went on strike, they would throw their “sabots” into the factory’s machinery, ruining the gears in an act of “sabotage.” Another more likely story is that because walking in wooden shoes is clunky and clumsy, and people wearing them tended to be bungling, therefore anything that was deliberately bungled up was “sabotaged.” turn the page for more!

Tidbits® of Sheridan and Johnson Counties Tidbits Presents the
HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Persistent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome --DEAR DR. ROACH: I had surgery late last year on my right wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome. The numbness in my fingers has not changed. Now I’m faced with the same problem in my left hand. I’m going to forget surgery, seeing as it wasn’t successful in my right hand. I decided to go to an acupuncturist for laser treatments. I also had a cortisone shot. Neither of these has helped. Do you know of a solution for my problem? -- P.M. ANSWER: Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression on the median nerve, as it runs down the arm through a “tunnel” of bone and connective tissue deep in the wrist. It may cause pain, numbness and weakness of the wrist and hand. The thumb and middle three fingers are most often affected. In advanced cases, the hand muscles may become atrophied. The sooner the pressure on the nerve is relieved, the more likely there will not be permanent nerve damage. It sounds to me like the first surgery was not done soon enough to prevent damage. If that’s the case, then surgery on your left hand, done sooner after the onset of symptoms, might prevent the long-term numbness present in your right hand. However, it’s possible that the diagnosis was wrong or that the surgery might not have been effective, even if done promptly. At least one study of needle acupuncture showed that it is as effective as a cortisone injection. This study excluded people who already had fixed numbness in the fingers, who are less likely to be helped by any treatment. I have not found any evidence that laser treatment is effective. My advice is to first be sure of the diagnosis. An EMG test is a study of nerve function, which can confirm the diagnosis and may be able to predict how much damage there is and provide guidance on treatment. If damage is not too severe, other treatments such as splinting, medication, yoga or ultrasound may be helpful. If advanced, surgery done quickly still may be your best bet. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I just found out that I have lipedema, a rare disease. What can I do about it? My mom and dad don’t have it, nor other family. Should I try to find relatives who have it? I am told that it is an inherited disease. None of these “family” ever had it! -- L.Q. ANSWER: Lipedema is indeed a rare disease, although it may be underdiagnosed. It almost always is found in women, and is suspected when there is marked fat deposition symmetrically between the waist and ankles. The areas affected often are tender or painful to the touch. It is not the same as lymphedema, fluid increase due to poorly functioning or damaged lymph vessels, although people with lipedema can develop lymphedema. Treatment includes compression garments or manual lymph drainage, often combined with surgical treatments such as liposuction. Only about 15 percent of people with lipedema have a family history. It’s not surprising that you can’t find relatives with it. More information is available at several support groups, and at www.curelipedema.org/lipedema/. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

SHOES (cont’d) • Stiletto comes from the Italian word stilo meaning ‘dagger’ or ‘stylus.’ The contemporary stiletto was invented in the 1950s by Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo, who made his first pair for Marilyn Monroe using alligator hide. The styles back then were tame by today’s standards, with heels no taller than about 3 inches. • The word “sneaker” is often attributed to an advertising agent who, in 1917, coined the term because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy. The name “sneakers” referred to how quiet the rubber soles were on the ground, in contrast to noisy hard leather-soled dress shoes. Someone wearing sneakers could “sneak up” on you while someone wearing standard shoes could not. • Australian fashion lore has it that Ugg really does stand for “ugly.” The sheepskin boots have been used by outdoorsy Australians for decades, but they were designed to be utilitarian rather than fashionable. • Sandals were first worn in warm climates where the soles of the feet needed protection but the top of the feet needed to be cooler. • Before the 19th century there was no left or right shoe, they were both identical. • “Schubert” and “Schumann” both mean shoemaker.

MORE SHOE FACTS • Because of stringent new environmental laws in Europe, the chemical composition of Barbie dolls changed to a softer plastic that doesn’t produce as many toxic gases when burned. To show that the new plastic was non-toxic to children who might swallow pieces of Barbie, they tied plastic Barbie shoes to tethers and fed them to pigs. The shoes were retrieved at various points in the digestive process and weighed to show that there was no absorption. • In the 1950s DuPont decided leather was no good for shoes because leather wears out. DuPont invented an imitation leather that they claimed would never wear out. They called it Corfam. Not only did Corfam never wear out, it also never broke in. Shoes would not mold themselves to fit the wearer’s foot like leather does. Instead, the shoes “wore like armor plate,” according to “Time” magazine. Corfam did not breathe like leather, resulting in hot sweaty feet, and it was also more expensive than leather. DuPont lost over a quarter million dollars on Corfam shoes. BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW • Some islanders used to use the skin of sea cucumbers to make shoes. • Up until the 1700s, both men and women wore high heels. • The world’s largest shoe size was 37AA worn by Robert Wadlow back in 1940. Wadlow was the tallest man in the world at 8 ft. 11 inches (2.7 meters). • The average American woman buys about five pairs of shoes each year, and the average man, about two pairs. • Cowboy boots have heels to help a rider’s feet stay in the stirrups. • The inside of a banana peel is a great shoe polisher for patent leather. • There are about a quarter million sweat glands in an average pair of feet. SHOES IN SPORTS • Bobby Jones was golfing in the Southern Amateur Tournament in New Orleans in 1920 when his ball landed inside an old shoe that was sitting on top of a wheelbarrow. Jones decided not to take the penalty for dropping the ball out of the shoe, and instead he played the shoe. He whacked it as hard as he could. The ball flew out and kept rolling, landing a few feet from the green. Jones made par. • During a 1967 soccer game in Bulgaria, the referee got down on one knee and bowed his head. Members of both teams assumed he was praying, so they also got down on their knees to pray. The spectators joined in the moment of reverent silence. Then the referee finished tying his shoelace. • John McEnroe tied his shoelaces seven times during a single Wimbledon match in 1979 in an effort to stall for time. • Writer and prankster Wilson Mizner was playing poker when an opponent took out his wallet and tossed it into the pot saying, “I call you.” Mizner replied by removing his shoe and placing it on the table as well. He announced, “If we’re playing for leather, I raise!” FAMOUS SHOE OWNERS • Darlene Flynn owns 7,765 shoe-related items, including a replica of the Disney Cinderella glass slipper, leather moccasins, cloth shoes, cast iron boots, a red-stiletto shoe phone, and even a shoe made from the ash collected at Mount St. Helen’s volcanic eruption. • Imelda Marcos owned over 1,000 pairs of shoes, which, if laid heel-to-toe, would equal almost the length of the Eiffel Tower. Some people estimate that she actually had between 3,000 and 7,500 pairs of shoes, but some were stolen or destroyed when her husband, President Ferdinand Marcos, was deposed. She also had 15 mink coats, 508 gowns, and over 1,000 handbags.

Goldfish’s Sideways Swimming Is No Stunt --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Help! I went to feed my goldfish, “Sparks,” this morning, and he was having trouble swimming. It’s almost like he’s swimming sideways. What’s wrong with him? -- New to Aquariums in Oakland, California
HOT DOGS • Because July is National Hot Dog Month, take a bite out of these hot dog facts! • To celebrate National Hot Dog Month, the American Meat Institute sponsors the annual Hot Dog Lunch on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Over 1,000 lawmakers, officials, and congressional staff help themselves to 4,000 hot dogs (enough to circle the Capitol dome four times) along with potato chips and Cracker Jacks while hob-nobbing with various baseball personalities. In 2001, People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sponsored a vegetarian event on the same day as the Hot Dog Lunch. Playboy bunnies clad in lettuce-like bikinis served up vegetarian “not-dogs” to interested staffers. The event, billed as “Lettuce Entertain You,” offered cholesterol-free fat-free veggie dogs to about 500 people. Fast Facts About Franks • Every year, Americans down an estimated seven billion hot dogs. Laid end-to-end, that’s enough hot dogs to circle the equator 27 times. Two billion of them are eaten during July. • Just over 26 million hot dogs are eaten every year in major league baseball stadiums, making franks the most popular item with baseball fans. Dodger Stadium in L.A. ranks as Top Dog, selling an estimated 1.5 million Dodger Dogs each season. Cleveland’s Progressive Field comes in second with 1.1 million dogs annually. Some 15% of hot dogs eaten are purchased from street vendors and 9% are eaten at ball parks. • People in New Orleans eat more hot dogs per capita than any other city, followed by L.A., San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, New York City, and Chicago.

DEAR NEWBIE: What’s happening is most likely a worrying condition commonly called “swim bladder disease.” While it’s not precisely a disease, it can happen for a couple of reasons, and you need to take action immediately. A change in the water’s pH, for one, can cause your goldfish almost immediate distress. If you recently changed the water or cleaned the tank, or if you haven’t done either in a while, that pH balance may be the culprit. Change the water again, paying close attention to the water conditioner you’re adding, and making sure to match the temperature of the new water with that of the old to prevent stressing out Sparks. The other possibility is diet. When fed nothing but dried pellets, or fed too much, fish can get constipated or bloated. That can manifest as distressed swimming -- like swimming sideways, or even upside down. Don’t feed Sparks anything for two or three days. Then, start with a low-protein food -- many aquarium owners recommend chopping a frozen pea into tiny bits and feeding the fish. Once Sparks recovers, watch him carefully in case he develops an illness, like white spot disease (also known as ich), which can happen when fish are stressed. And look into joining an aquarium or nearby goldfish owners club so you can learn about keeping your fish healthy. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

WILLIAM SCHOLL • William Scholl was born in LaPorte, Indiana in 1882 as one of 13 children. Even as a boy on a mid-western farm, William was interested in feet and shoes. As a teen he learned to make shoes, and then was apprenticed to a cobbler. • When he moved to Chicago to set up his own shop, he noticed how many people had trouble with corns, bunions, and fallen arches, and he was appalled. So he worked as a shoe salesman by day and put himself through medical school by night, becoming a podiatrist in 1904 at the age of 22. • That same year he patented an arch support which he peddled to other shoe salesmen, and its popularity gave him the capital he needed to invent more products for the feet, including remedies for corns, bunions, warts, calluses, foot odor, ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot, and many other footrelated ailments. • He established a correspondence course to teach basic podiatry to shoe store clerks and sent a team of trained sales representatives around the country to deliver public lectures on proper foot care. • In 1916 William Scholl sponsored the national Cinderella Foot Contest to find the most beautiful feet in the U.S. Ladies flocked to shoe stores by the thousands to have their feet measured and scrutinized, and pictures of the prize-winning feet were published in magazines and newspapers nationwide. Then the ladies flocked to drugstores by the thousands to buy Scholl’s products in order to make their feet look more beautiful. • By the time he died in Chicago in 1968, William Scholl’s line of foot care products eventually expanded to include over a thousand different items. He left the company to his nephews, and it still flourishes today. QUIZ: ADOLPH DASSLER • Born in Germany in 1900, Adolf Dassler, who went by the nickname of Adi, loved tap dancing. He began creating his own tap shoes and got a lot of advice from his father, who worked in a shoe factory, manufacturing cleats for athletes. After he returned from service during World War I, he set up a cobbler’s shop in his mother’s laundry. Adi decided to go into the dance shoe business, and his brother joined him in the venture, which they called the Dassler Brothers Shoe Company. • At the World Tap Dancing Competition in 1928, Adi outfitted a number of the top competitors, and sales of his shoes climbed. During World War II, Adi was drafted into producing boots for soldiers. • After the war, Adi and his brother split up and his brother started a sports shoe company called Puma. Adi renamed his own company, combining several letters from both his first and last names. He designed his company’s three-striped logo. He branched out and soon was making 30 different types of shoes for 11 different sports. • Much of his success was due to his close contact with the athletes who wore his shoes, and his persistent presence at sporting events. Sales skyrocketed after Germany won the World Soccer Cup in 1954 with every member of the team wearing his shoes. He got many famous athletes to use his footwear including Jesse Owens and Muhammad Ali. • Aggressive marketing was a cornerstone of his business, and he expanded into many different sporting goods. When Adi died in 1978, his son took over the business. Today the shoe company Adi founded is the second largest sportswear manufacturer in the world. Can you name it? Answer: Adidas

HOT DOGS (cont’d) • In a poll sponsored by the American Meat Institute and the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, hamburgers ranked #1 among American adults as the top food item for summertime grilling. Some 32% of people polled said they go for a burger above all else at backyard barbecues. Another 19% named hot dogs, making it the second place choice. Chicken was third, followed by steak. • In a similar poll, mustard ranked #1 as the favorite hot dog topping, with 30% of people choosing it above all other toppings. Another 22% picked ketchup, which came in second place, followed by chili and onions. Lost Dog • In June of 2002, Will Keller and Paula Pendleton were driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile across the country on a year- long tour of barbecue cook-offs and charity events. In Washington, D.C., they got lost and ended up going down a road near the Pentagon that is off limits to vehicles with six or more wheels. The road was closed to truck traffic following the Sept. 11 attacks for fear someone would drive a truck bomb close to the Pentagon. The Wienermobile was quickly pulled over by troopers who expected the wurst, and the drivers of the giant hot dog were grilled. Troopers found no bomb in the back of the hot dog, which was packed with boxes of Wienerwhistles, Wienermobile Hot Wheels, Wienie bean bag toys, and a karaoke machine featuring Wiener songs. Apparently not many terrorists pick a 27-foot long bright red vehicle shaped like a hot dog to pull off a terrorist attack. When it was determined that they posed no threat to national security, the Wienermobile was released and the driver was directed to the proper road. They did not receive a ticket.
