TIDBITS® HONORS

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

by Kathy Wolfe

February is Black History Month, and this week, Tidbits takes some time to recognize the achievements of some noted AfricanAmericans in various fields.

• U.S. President Gerald Ford officially declared this tribute in 1976 as part of America’s Bicentennial, prevailing upon citizens to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” But the observance traces its roots back to 1926, when African-American historian and author Carter Woodson declared the second week of February to be Negro History Week. Woodson, one of the first scholars to study black history was also the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. That particular week was chosen because the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass fell at that time.

• Frederick Douglass was born a slave in Maryland around 1818. After being shuffled around from one plantation to another, he was given to a Baltimore family. Although it was illegal to teach slaves to read, the owner’s wife began teaching Douglass when he was 12. Soon he was reading newspapers and political material, molding his views on freedom and human rights.

• On Independence Day, 1881, the doors of “Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers” opened with a young principal named Booker T. Washington at the helm.

This 25-year-old leader began classes in a run-down old church. The institute was founded by former slave Lewis Adams and George W. Campbell, an Alabama banker and former slaveholder, who were both committed to the education of blacks.

Adams had no formal education, yet could read, write, and speak several languages.

In 1882, the school bought a plantation, and new campus buildings were constructed. By 1900, the university sat on nearly 2,300 acres. Today it’s ranked as one of the “Best Regional Colleges in the South,” offering 35 bachelor’s degrees, 12 masters’ programs, an architecture program, two doctoral degree programs, and a school of veterinary medicine.

• Frederick Douglass began teaching other slaves to read, a practice that went unnoticed for some months. When it was discovered, he was sent to a farmer who was well-known as a “slave-breaker.”

After repeated beatings, Douglass was nearly psychologically shattered, and began to plot his escape. After one failed attempt, he was finally successful at age 18, boarding a train posing as a free black sailor. Less than 24 hours later, Douglass was sheltered in a safe house of a New York abolitionist. Eleven days later he married a free black woman who had helped him escape, a union that would endure 44 years. He spent the remainder of his life speaking out on racism, editing a black newspaper, writing three autobiographies, and gaining fame worldwide as an inspirational speaker.

Law or not, the observance of Washington's Birthday didn't really catch on until 1832, 100 years after his birth!

• Born into slavery, George Washington Carver

went on to become one of the world’s most renowned botanists and scientists.

Because the soil of the south had become depleted by planting nothing but cotton for years, Carver developed methods of improving the soil through crop rotation.

Alternating the cotton planting with peanuts, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, nitrogen was restored to the soil while providing nutritious crops for farm families. Through years of research and development, Carver came up with 300 uses for peanuts, including cosmetics, plastics, gasoline, adhesives, linoleum, synthetic rubber, and nitroglycerin. He also discovered hundreds of uses for soybeans, pecans, and sweet potatoes, and developed 536 different dyes while experimenting with plant leaves, fruit, stems, and roots. At age 32, Carver was invited by Booker T. Washington, the president of Tuskegee Institute, to head up the school’s Agriculture Department, and Carver remained there as an educator for 47 years, all the while continuing his famous research.

• On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson stepped to the plate at Ebbets Field as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the first African-American to play major league baseball. After being raised in poverty, he attended Pasadena Junior College, excelling in football, basketball, track, and baseball, chosen as the region’s Most Valuable Player in baseball in 1938.

Dodgers’ president Branch Rickey chose Robinson to help integrate the major leagues. Robinson was Rookie of the Year in 1947, National League MVP in 1949, and World Series champ in 1955. During his decade-long career with the Dodgers, he became their highest-paid player. He closed out his career in 1957 with a .311 batting average.

Be an Olympian

TRAIN

As our family is glued to the Olympics rooting on the World’s top athletes, I am inspired by their individual stories and commitment that prepares these athletes to do their best as they compete. But what is even more compelling than the highest ski jump, the elegant figure skating, the fastest bobsled, and the flare and flash of snowboarding is the Olympic spirit that runs in their veins. The timeless wisdom of the Bible offers 5 core values that these athletes T R A I N with. May we all incorporate these values into our personal lives as we continue to develop the Kingdom Olympic Warrior that we are called to be. The Olympics are full of teachable moments and the Bible is full of character training.

Triumph: Approach both success and failure gracefully Respect: Treat others as you would have them treat you Alliance: As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Instinct: Drive for excellence Never: Never, never, give up

Before all else, know yourself and your own limits. It doesn't take long to learn how little or how much alcohol you can tolerate and every body is unique in its ability to tolerate alcohol.

Listen to your body and respond in a way that nurtures it rather than abuses it. The first time you drink, you should drink with close friends in the comfort of your own home or their homes, so that you don't get socially overwhelmed.

This will help you get a sense of what you can and can not handle.

• Although born in Beirut, Lebanon, Keanu Reeves is a U.S. citizen because of his Hawaiian-born American father.

He is also a Canadian citizen through naturalization. His English-born mother also gives him British citizenship, but Reeves considers himself a Canadian. His father abandoned the family when Reeves was just three years old, and he grew up in Toronto. His unusual first name comes from the Hawaiian language meaning “cool breezes over the mountains.”

• School was not a pleasant experience for Reeves, who attended five high schools in five years. Challenged by dyslexia, he chose to spend his time on the hockey rink as a successful goalie. His dream of playing hockey for Canada was shattered by an injury, and he began working at a hockey rink while taking acting lessons. His ice-skating abilities paid off in 1986 when he landed his first movie appearance as a Canadian goalie in the film Youngblood with Rob Lowe. Shortly afterward, he made the move to L.A. After a string of minor roles, Reeves’ first big break came in 1989 when he was 25, with a role in the comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

• Reeves’ early career wasn’t all about the movies. In 1991, he started playing bass guitar with the grunge band Dogstar, a passion he enjoyed until 2002. Dogstar experienced success for several years, opening for Bon Jovi in 1995 and appearing in concert with David Bowie, as well as appearing in two movies.

• Reeves’ reputation received a huge boost in 1994 when he was cast opposite Sandra Bullock in the action film Speed as an LAPD officer who keeps a bomb from exploding aboard a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph. Reeves did 90% of his own stunts for Speed.

The film was extremely successful and a sequel was planned. Surprisingly, Reeves turned down the offer of an $11 million paycheck as well as another role opposite Robert DeNiro in the crime thriller Heat.

He opted to tour with his band and to appear in the Manitoba Theatre Centre production of Hamlet in Winnipeg.

His performance during the 24-day engagement earned him a reviewer’s comments declaring Reeves as “one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he IS Hamlet.”

• In 1999, Reeves took his most famous role, that of a computer hacker named Neo, in the sci-fi thriller The Matrix. He was chosen over the likes of Leonardo DeCaprio, Will Smith, and Brad Pitt. The film grossed more than $171 million in the U.S. alone. Reeves spent 11 months in Australia in 2002 filming the sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions back-to-back. The two films were released six months apart in 2003.

Reeves received $15 million per film, and 15% of the profits, earning him more than $150 million for the project. Each of Reeves’ 12 stuntmen received a gift of a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle as a gesture of his appreciation.

• In 2001, Reeves became a published author when he released Ode to Happiness, described as a “grownup’s picture book” on coping with life’s sorrows. Reeves has had his own share of sorrows, including the 1999 stillbirth of his daughter, followed by his long-time girlfriend’s death in an auto accident 18 months later.

Senior News Line

Brain Training Really Does Work Research on seniors who underwent brain training shows that the effects were still there 10 years later. The 3,000 seniors, with an average age of 74, only had to participate in a dozen or so training sessions lasting about an hour each to get years of gain.

The study, done by Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, was called the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly study, or ACTIVE. Participants were divided into four groups: three receiving training in memory (word lists), processing speed (identifying objects) or reasoning (looking for number patterns), plus a group who didn’t get any training. They were tested at intervals of one, two, three, five and 10 years. More than half got additional training to increase the effects.

The results: Memory gains seemed to drop off after five years, but processing speed and gains in reasoning ability still were evident 10 years later. Compared to those who didn’t get the training, participants were more able to handle daily activities such as cooking, money and medications.

More than 73 percent of those who’d had reasoning training still scored above their pretraining levels. In processing speed, some 70 percent scored at or above their pre-training levels. When it came to memory, however, the trained group and the control group scored equally.

To see the processing-speed training in action, go online to www.positscience.com and sample a few of the questions. You’ll be asked to enter your name and a password, but instead look for the tiny “maybe later” button and click that to continue without signing up.

• The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

“We are thrilled with the outstanding community support,” said Bruce Western, CRCCA president. “Our mission is to provide quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford, and the community responded.”

Members pay one low price for the season’s series of five concerts. This season, a member can attend all five concerts for just $40. And, as a bonus, attend the Metro Community Concerts five-performance series at Cedar Fall’s Gallagher-Bluedorn absolutely free.

2013

“We sold out quickly this year,” said Western.

“We encourage everyone to keep an eye out for next season’s membership drive and order their memberships early.”

But don’t despair. Lucky Tidbits readers still have a chance to attend one of this season’s exciting concerts.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

Space Heater Safety Tips

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● You might not be familiar with the National Chicken Council, but it’s making predictions about you nonetheless. If you ate wings while watching the Super Bowl, you contributed to the 1.25 billion wings that the council’s 2014 Wing Report projected to be consumed during that event. ● The name of the state of Alabama comes from the Choctaw word “albah,” which means “plant-cutters.” ● Accident or not? At an evening event in 1989, a bottle of wine once owned by Thomas Jefferson was up for sale. The asking price? $500,000. It seems nobody was willing to pony up the cash, and at the end of the night there was no sale. At that point, a waiter (inadvertently?) dropped the bottle, destroying the unprofitable item. The bottle was insured, however, and the merchant did end up with $250,000. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: In my neck of the woods we don’t usually have cold winters, but this one has been a doozy. My mother hauled out her ancient space heater in December. A couple weeks ago I was visiting her and noticed that some laundry had fallen out of the basket and was lying atop the heater! Fortunately it was not turned on, but I’m terrified of what could happen.

Can you remind your readers to keep the area around space heaters clear at all times? -- Lacy S., Valdosta, Ga. A: You just did, and I thank you for it.

Regardless of the type of portable electric heater you have, it must be set up so that there is 3 feet of clearance around it, and placed on a heat-resistant surface (bare floor, for example, not carpet).

Additionally, make sure that the outlet being used can handle the amount of electricity the space heater will draw.

Don’t plug anything else into that outlet.

Consider replacing older space heaters.

While I’ve seen many models built as long ago as the 1950s that are very sturdy, they often do not meet current electrical standards and can use a lot more power than newer models, meaning higher electric bills.

What’s the best space heater to purchase?

I’m not a fan of the classic open-coil model, and there are alternatives. For example, an enclosed oil heater, which looks like a radiator on wheels, circulates heated oil through each section and provides indirect heat and a greater measure of safety. There are heaters that fit inside a kitchen’s kickspace, oscillating tower heaters, and heaters disguised as fireplaces or standing vases.

Portable heaters range in price from about $50 to several hundred dollars, so take a look at several options both in the home-improvement store and online.

Make sure any heater you consider has the UL (Underwriters Laboratory) label.

Heaters with thermostat control can provide greater energy savings. And it’s important to make sure you purchase a heater that can handle the size of the room where you’ll use it the most. (Check the sizing chart on the heater’s packaging.)

HOME TIP: Plug your space heater directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip; if an extension cord is needed, choose a heavy-duty cord of 14 gauge or larger.

Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com.

What happened when the dog went to the flea circus?

A: He stole the show!

NOW HERE’S A TIP

● “Keep cats indoors during very cold weather.

They are particularly vulnerable to freezing. If you can leave the curtains drawn on a window where Kitty can look outside and sunbathe, she probably will be happy.” -- M.R. in Washington ● If you have lots of outdoor or feral cats in your area, here is some good advice, given to me by my grandmother: Start your car with a bang -- on the hood, that is. When the overnight temperature dips, cats know to find someplace that is windshielded and off the ground, and sometimes that means they will climb up into your engine area to hunker down. If your car starts while they’re there, they can be hurt or even killed. Give the hood a good knock to let a cat know to get out quick. -- JoAnn ● Pet paws need extra care in the cold months, especially dogs that must be walked in icy and snowy conditions. Here’s a great tip from Y.L. in New York: “I keep a small towel with me on my daily dog walks, but I also wash off my dog’s paws with a warm washcloth when we return. I also rub petroleum jelly into her pads once a day. They really take a beating, having to go out three times a day in salty, muddy, cold conditions. She won’t wear doggie booties, so this works best for us.”

● Spread a teaspoon of peanut butter thinly on a paper plate, then when the dog is busy with its treat, you can trim its nails. Or sometimes just having it nearby as a promised treat can do the trick to distract your pet. Good luck!
