• What makes a creature an insect? In order to be classified as an insect, it must have three body parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen), six jointed legs, two antennae, and an outside skeleton. That counts out spiders and centipedes! There are 1,017,018 known species of insects in the world, but experts feel there might be another nine million that haven’t yet been discovered. Ninety-five percent of all the animal species on Earth are insects. • Insects are divided into 32 orders, with beetles as the largest order. There are 125 different families of beetles, and half a million different species. Did you know that one out of every four animals on Earth is a beetle? In fact the world’s largest insect is a beetle found in South America, the longhorn beetle measuring 9.85 inches. The world’s heaviest insect is also a beetle, the African Goliath beetle, which can weigh up to 3.4 oz. … turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

• There’s a difference between an insect and a bug. A bug is actually an insect with characteristics other insects don’t have, such as a sty-let mouth (one that is shaped like a straw) that is used to suck plant juices. True bugs have thickened front wings, which are colored close to the body, but clearer and thinner at the wing’s hind end. Cicadas, aphids, and stink bugs are truly bugs, but ticks, beetles, and flies are not. • Perhaps one of the most unpopular crawlies is the cockroach. It is one of the most adaptable creatures on Earth, which makes getting rid of them very difficult. There are more than 4,000 species of this pest worldwide. They are cold-blooded and can live without food for a month. They can even survive for a week without a head. Because they breathe through little holes in each body segment, they don’t need a mouth or head to breathe. After a week of being unable to drink water, they die of thirst. A cockroach is able to hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can survive being under water for 30 minutes. No wonder they are so hard to get rid of! It doesn’t take long for a cockroach to spread bacteria throughout a home – they can run 3 miles per hour. Although the average cockroach is 1” to 2” long, one South American species is 6” long and has a 12” wingspan. • In the British Isles, the ladybug is called the ladybird. The ladybug is a type of beetle that can be red, yellow, black, grey, or brown, depending on the species, and might have spots, stripes, or no markings at all. Red and orange ladybugs have seven spots, three on each side and one in the middle. The number of spots has nothing to do with this beetle’s age. The number and placement of spots are determined by its species and are fixed well before the ladybug is born. 319-432-1534

Fruit Inspection

On a long desert stretch of I-15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles lies an agriculture inspection station on the California border. Each car must go through the security station as it is a law that forbids the transfer of fruit into California. The goal is to keep the California fruit from being contaminated. There is a heavenly border patrolled by the Holy Spirit to keep Heavens fruit protected. These 9 fruits are identified in Galatians 5:“The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Now is a great time to inspect the fruit in your life. The first step is to believe and receive. Faith means I believe something, I trust in something, I depend on something. Faithfulness is the way I live because I believe in that “something.” Fruit is the result of the way I live. Get on the right side of the border and protect your fruit with the way you live: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Come Holy Spirit and produce these fruits while protecting them and us from the contaminates of life.

Bedbugs are very difﬁcult to get rid of. These hardy pests can live for a year or more without eating and can withstand temperatures from nearly freezing to 122 degrees F (50 C). And they’re not just found in beds, they burrow in chair cushions, behind electrical outlets, in cracks around baseboards, and behind picture frames.

Pick Strawberries Day is May 20th, though it may seem a bit early in the spring this should be the day to pick fresh strawberries and eat the berry tasty treat.

• Many countries, including Russia, Turkey, and Italy consider the ladybug a sign of good luck and those folks will make a wish when one is sighted. Ladybugs are very useful creatures, as they feed on aphids and other garden pests. • Termites cause nearly $5 billion in damage every year. These wood-destroying insects can destroy a home from the inside out before a homeowner even notices. Add up the weight of all the humans on Earth, and it will be less than the total weight of all the world’s termites! About 10% of the world’s animals are termites. Damp wood is an ideal nesting place for termites. So avoid infestation by dealing with leaking plumbing issues immediately. Be sure water drains away from the house, don’t stack any wood next to your home, and keep an 18” gap between soil and your foundation. Although termites can be extremely destructive, they can be ecologically beneficial. They break down dead and decaying trees in the forest into rich new soil. • Another 10% of the world’s animals are ants, with at least 1.5 million ants for every human being on the planet. There are more than 12,000 species of ants, and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. One acre of Amazon rainforest is home to up to 3.5 million ants. Ants are hardy creatures, able to survive 24 hours underwater, with many varieties able to swim. They are the longest living of all insects, with a life span of up to 30 years. When seeking food, the colony sends out a scout ant, who wanders about until it finds a food source. After eating some of the food, the ant heads back to the nest in a straight line, leaving a trail of secreted pheromones, a scent that the other ants will be able to follow back to the food.

• Massive communities of ants called super colonies have been discovered stretching for thousands of miles, with the largest ever found over 3,750 miles wide. Ants are capable of carrying 5 times their body weight with their mandibles. • The 40,000 different species of spiders are arachnids, not insects, since they have eight legs and only two body segments and have no antennae. While birds and bats eat a significant amount of insects, spiders eat more than those combined. • The largest species of tarantulas have a leg span of nearly 10 inches and have been known to kill mice, lizards, and birds. When tarantulas feel threatened, they defend themselves by throwing needlelike, barbed hairs at their attackers. Being hit by one of these causes an irritating rash and sometimes an allergic reaction, but very rarely does it result in death. Tarantulas molt continually, replacing their exoskeletons as they grow. This gives them the ability to even regenerate legs that have been lost. They are very fragile creatures, and a fall from a short height can easily kill them. The female tarantula can live 20 years in captivity and 30 years or longer in the wild. However, males have an average lifespan of between five and ten years.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

DAN AYKROYD

Did you know that famous funny-man Dan Aykroyd hails from Canada? Here’s the scoop on this Ontario-born actor, comedian, and screenwriter. • Aykroyd was born in Ottawa on Canada Day, July 1, 1952. His father, a civil engineer, was a policy advisor to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, while his mother worked as a secretary. Dan was born with two unusual physical characteristics, syndactyly, meaning he has webbed toes, and heterchromia – his right eye is green and his left eye is brown. • It was Aykroyd’s original ambition to become a priest, and he attended Catholic academies until age 17. He switched gears and decided, as the grandson of a Canadian Mountie, to study criminology and sociology at Carleton University, although he dropped out before finishing. For a time, he worked as a mail sorter for the Canadian postal service, as a train brakeman, and as a surveyor. • Aykroyd started out in comedy in assorted Canadian nightclubs. He met John Belushi in Toronto where Belushi was scouting out talent for the National Lampoon series. In 1975, the pair were hired for the new late-night show Saturday Night Live. Aykroyd, hired as a writer and doubling as a cast member, was just 23, the youngest on staff. For the program’s first four seasons he established himself as a talented impersonator, famously mimicking Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Julie Child, and Rod Serling. He was the wellknown father of SNL’s Conehead family and one of the “wild and crazy guys” alongside Steve Martin. Aykroyd received an Emmy Award for his writing in 1977, and four other nominations during his tenure. He and Belushi created the black-suited, sunglasswearing Blues Brothers duo for the show and took it to the big screen in 1980 with a highly successful movie. • The idea of Ghostbusters came to Aykroyd from his fascination with the paranormal after reading an article about quantum physics. He and fellow actor Harold Ramis wrote the script in a Martha’s Vineyard bomb shelter, tailoring the roles to fit John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, and John Candy. When Belushi died of a drug overdose in 1982 and Murphy and Candy were unavailable, the script was tweaked and Bill Murray, Ramis, and Aykroyd starred in the 1984 smash hit and its 1989 sequel. • In 1989, Aykroyd switched to a dramatic role in the classic Driving Miss Daisy and received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his efforts. • Over the years, he has continued writing and acting, and occasionally appearing on Saturday Night Live. He last appeared as guest host of SNL in 2003. • In keeping with his love of the blues, in 1992, Aykroyd co-founded a nightclub in Cambridge, Massachusetts called The House of Blues, an operation that has grown into 13 locations. He also owns several wineries in Canada’s Niagara region. • Aykroyd’s wife Donna Dixon, whom he married in 1983, was a former Miss Virginia in 1976 and Miss District of Columbia in 1977. The couple has three children. Although a permanent resident of the United States, he retains his Canadian citizenship and maintains an estate on Ontario’s Loughborough Lake. Every year, he spends his Canada Day birthday performing civil service in Kingston, Ontario, including swearing in new Canadian citizens.

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22

Phooey, Capricorn. You may be able to fool a loved one, but you can’t fool yourself. Fess up and make amends. A financial error is corrected in your favor.

Can it, Cancer. What’s done is done. Time to move on. A shopping trip uncovers the treas-ure of all treasures, but is it yours to keep?

January 20– February 18

July 23– August 22

Peace descends upon your home once more, Aquarius, and the week is relaxing. A turnaround in finances gives you good reason to celebrate.

An acquaintance shows their true colors. No reaction is the best reaction of all, Leo. A report is just the tip of the iceberg. Prepare yourself.

February 19– March 20

August 23– September 22

Illness strikes, but recovery is quick thanks to tips from a friend. A passionate pursuit ends in victory. Bravo, Pisces! An heirloom returns.

Amazing opportunities are in store. Seize each and every one of them, Virgo. A riveting story inspires you to join a worthy cause.

March 21– April 19

September 23– October 22

Anger is an appropri-ate response, but you won’t get anywhere if you do not temper it, Aries. A walk down memory lane inspires a project.

April 20– May 20

Doggone it, Taurus. Try as you might, you won’t be able to maintain a neutral stance. You will be asked for your opinion, and you should state it loud and clear.

May 21– June 21 Gratitude is always appreciated and can serve as a great motivator. Throw a party for your team, Gemini, and keep the momentum going.

Watch it, Libra. Now is not the time to break confidences. Keep your mouth shut and your nose to the grind-stone. All will be revealed in good time.

October 23– November 21

Frustration boils over at work. Do what you can to ease the tension, Scorpio. A challenge at home is met with more curiosity than resistance.

November 22– December 21

Face it, Sagittarius. You are the best person for the job. Step up to the plate, and the rewards will be yours. A drama unfolds at home.

ENTOMOLOGIST

Lyme Disease is the 5th most common disease reported to the Centers for Disease Control. It’s transmitted by the black-legged deer tick, who pick up the Borrelia species of bacteria. Although they are called deer ticks, they actually acquire the bacteria from infected rodents, such as the white-tailed mouse. The disease takes its name from Lyme, Connecticut, where several cases were identiﬁed in 1975.

● On May 22, 1843, a massive wagon train, made up of 1,000 settlers, sets off down the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri. Known as the “Great Emigration,” the expedition finally arrived in October, completing the 2,000 mile journey in five months. ● On May 21, 1901, Connecticut becomes the first state to pass a law regulating motor vehicles, limiting their speed to 12 mph in cities and 15 mph on country roads. The proposed legislation had requested a speed limit of 8 mph within city limits. ● On May 23, 1911, the New York Public Library, the largest marble structure ever constructed in the United States, is dedicated in New York City. The day after its dedication, some 40,000 citizens passed through to make use of a collection that already consisted of more than a million books. 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

● On May 19, 1935, T.E. Lawrence, a former British Army officer known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia, dies as a retired Royal Air Force mechanic living under an assumed name. The legendary war hero, author and archaeological scholar succumbed to injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident six days earlier. ● On May 20, 1969, Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), in a Senate speech, condemns the battle for Ap Bia Mountain in Vietnam, which had become known as “Hamburger Hill.” During the intense fighting, 597 North Vietnamese were reported killed and U.S. casualties were 56 killed and 420 wounded. ● May 24, 1989, “Sex, lies and videotape,” the debut feature from the 26-year-old writer-director Steven Soderbergh, wins the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The $1.2 million film was aggressively marketed by its distributor, Miramax Films, and went on to gross some $26 million.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

They Lived to be 100 The U.S. Census Bureau has released a long-term research report on the differences between centenarians and seniors who are age 65 and older. Pulling in data from a previous report, Centenarians 2010, this research is an overview of 2007 to 2011 and focuses on marital status, education, veteran status, income and poverty levels. Here’s what it learned: -- Women made up the majority of those who had lived a century or more, at 81 percent. In the over-65 group, women were at 57 percent. -- Marital status: Most centenarians (82 percent) were widowed. Because of age, the over-65 group had a lower rate of 29 percent widowed. -- Education: A surprising 43 percent of centenarians did not finish high school. In the over 65 age group, 23 percent didn’t receive a diploma. Of those who went on to college, 15 percent of centenarians earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, with 21 percent of the over-65 group earning a degree. -- Veterans: Only 0.5 percent of women centenarians were veterans, but the number wasn’t much higher for women in the over-65 group, with 1.15 percent veterans. -- Income: Of the centenarians, 83 percent received Social Security, compared to 88 percent of the over-65 group. The amount of benefits was lower, of course, for the centenarians because Social Security is based on what you put into the system. Of the centenarians, 17 percent lived in poverty, compared to 9 percent of the over-65 group. Want to live to be a centenarian? Dr. Thomas Perls, co-author of “Living to 100: Lessons in Living to Your Maximum Potential at Any Age,” has some tips: Be adaptable and flexible. Get rid of stress. Be optimistic. Exercise. Own a pet. Those are good goals for people of any age. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

• 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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was Danish physicist Niels Bohr who made the following sage observation: “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ● It was in 1954 that the first TV dinner was introduced. ● You might have heard that the band on the doomed ocean liner Titanic played music on the deck while the ship sank. But you probably don’t know what song they were playing at the very end. According to witnesses, it was a popular British waltz called “Autumn.” ● If you’re planning a trip to Sweden, keep this point of law in mind: In that country, it’s illegal to teach a seal to balance a ball on its nose. ● Pigeons have the distinction of being only birds that don’t have to raise their heads to swallow when they drink water. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: My apartment has closet doors that fold open on sliding tracks. Over the past month, the doors have started sticking and one is completely off the track and just swinging open. Is this hard to fix? Our maintenance guys aren’t so reliable. -- Mindy H., Atlanta A: If the slider attachment at the top of the door isn’t damaged, you should be able to easily put the bi-fold door back on its track. Reach up to the top of the detached door -- or climb onto a sturdy stepladder or footstool so you can reach -- and feel along the top near the front edge of the door. You should feel a round disc, or wheel, sticking up. Place your finger on top of the wheel and push down. If it’s spring-loaded, the disc will depress down and then spring back up. Check the bottom of the door as well. If the door opens along a top and bottom track, a similar wheel, or a simple metal pin called a pivot, will be located in the same position near the front of the door. It may or may not have a spring. If both wheels are in good shape, great. If either one is broken or missing, contact apartment maintenance to have them repair the door. Or, if they don’t respond, contact management and ask if they can either speed up the repair, or if you can do the repair yourself and have them take the difference off the bill (you’ll need to give them a receipt for parts and labor). Let’s start from the premise that both wheels are all right. It’s a pretty easy fix, made easier if a friend helps steady the door. If one of the wheels isn’t springloaded, carefully ease that rigid wheel into the corresponding track. Then reach up (or down) to the spring-loaded disc, depress it with one finger, and guide that part of the door back into its corresponding track, sliding your finger out of the way until the disc pops up into the track. Move the door back and forth a couple times to test it. What if the door doesn’t seem be straight? That can cause the wheels to stick in or jump out of the tracks. You can adjust the door in a number of ways: The Family Handyman website (www. familyhandyman.com) has a step-by-step description of how to do it. HOME TIP: To smooth a sliding door’s path, put a thin coat of wax or silicone spray on the wheels. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Memorial Day is May 26, 2014. Several towns claim to be the originators of Memorial Day but in 1966, Congress declared Waterloo, New York, to be the birthplace of the holiday. Memorial Day originally honored military personnel who died in the Civil War (1861-1865). The holiday now honors those who died in any war while serving with the United States.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● Keep garlic cloves in the freezer. You can take them out individually when you need them and they thaw quickly. ● A dusty lightbulb gives off less light, so don’t forget to dust your lightbulbs from time to time. ● Couponer secret: “Keep clipped coupons in a binder sorted by type of item. When the sales circulars are available, scan your coupons to see what matches you can make. If you buy multiples, you can put them away in your pantry and won’t have to purchase items when you’re low -you can wait until you see another coupon and sale matchup!” -- L.S. in Florida ● Want bananas to last a little longer? Do not separate your bunch, and wrap the tip in foil. ● “Use an over-the-door shoe holder to house your makeup and hair accessories, plus jewelry and other personal items. You can trim a curtain or piece of fabric to fit over the length of it, and tie it to the top if it looks too messy in your room.” -M.K. in North Carolina ● Use this trick to freshen your stuffed animals. Dust with baking soda and put several together in a large paper grocery bag, until it’s half full. Fold the top of the bag down and shake vigorously. Remove the stuffed friends and shake off any excess baking soda. For good measure, put in a low- or no-heat dryer cycle for 1015 minutes.
