by Kathy Wolfe How do we measure up to the feats of others? This week, Tidbits investigates the age of these achievers at the time of their accomplishments. • Mary, Queen of Scots became Queen of Scotland when she was just six days old, upon the death of her father. Scotland was ruled by regents throughout her childhood. When Mary was 16, she married the French Dauphin Francis, who became King Francis II when she was 17. The union lasted only two years, as Francis died in 1560, and Mary returned to Scotland. Her life did not have a happy ending, as she was beheaded for plotting the assassination of her cousin Queen Elizabeth I of England. • Some golfers might never shoot a 48 for nine holes of golf, but Tiger Woods achieved this feat at age 3. He had already been featured in Golf Digest by the age of 5. • Judy Garland made her first stage appearance at age 2, when she joined her singing siblings in an act called The Gumm Sisters. She went on to a film career spanning over 40 years, and is immortalized as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, although she made more than 35 other films. Despite her extraordinary talent, Judy was unable to deal with the demands of fame, and turned to drugs and alcohol. She perished from an overdose of barbiturates at age 47. turn the page for more!

AGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT (cont'd): • When she was born in 1912, the press called Doris Duke the “million dollar baby.” She was the only child of American tobacco baron James Duke, who headed a company in business since the Civil War. Her father’s donation of $40 million resulted in a name change from Trinity College in Durham, North Carolina, to Duke University. When Doris was 12, her father died and bequeathed her upwards of $30 million, leaving only a modest trust fund to her mother. At 14, Doris sued her mother to keep her from selling the family assets. Over the course of her lifetime, Doris increased her father’s fortune by four times. She spent much of her time traveling and was an avid art collector. Doris also owned five homes, including a 2000-acre New Jersey farm, a penthouse on Park Avenue, a Beverly Hills mansion, a Hawaiian palace, and a summer home in Newport, Rhode Island. When she died in 1993, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation was worth about $1.2 billion. • Noted French painter Claude Monet was 60 secret whentohe began work “The staying young is toon livehis hon-famous water lilies series of paintings.

AGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT (cont'd): • Famed astronaut John Glenn was 40 years old when he became the first American to orbit Earth, making three orbits aboard Friendship 7 in February, 1962. The Ohio-born Glenn was a 22-year-old Marine when he was deployed to the Pacific Front in World War II, flying 59 combat missions over the course of the war. During the Korean War, he served on 90 missions. At 38, he was selected for the U.S. Space Program. Glenn retired from NASA two years after his historic flight into space. At age 53, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, and at 63, made an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 1998, at age 77, after an absence of “You’ve reachedJohn old age when returned the gleam in 36 years, Glenn toyour space eye is just the sun space on your bifocals.” Henny aboard the shuttle –Discovery, Youngman becoming the oldest person to fly in space. The mission lasted nine days and included a study on aging and space travel. Glenn returned to his senatorial duties for another year, retiring at 78. • At 95, Grandma Moses, who had taken up painting at age 78, wrote, “…in olden times, things were not so rushed.

Big things are happening in North Liberty. Mark Eggleston worked hard to create a very nice well laid out sports bar called Eggy’s on 965. Mark has now left the bar and the new owners have taken off were he left off. In fact, up to 70 inches big. Since the new owners’ transition, brand new 65-70 inch HD TV’s have been installed all over the North Liberty sports bar for primetime entertainment.

See details on-line at:tidbitpapers.com Four of those new TV’s have been installed right above the main bar. “Our TV Chandelier, is what I like to call it,” said Vic Jarbo. “It sounds pretty cool.”

In addition to the “TV chandelier,” five more TV’s have also been installed upon the walls of the new mini-bar “Hawks Nest” upstairs, a couple which are hanging from the high ceilings and sit right in front of the ledge. Originally, the restaurant had about six TV’s that were only on the main floor. Now there are fifteen in the entire building. Even though fifteen TV’s might sound excessive, the building certainly has the space for it and the versatility. Now guests don’t have to look as far in the main level dining area to watch their favorite sports every week. Now we can seat people for diner upstairs or grab a drink at the mini bar if it gets too crowded on the main floor. Private parties can rent out the upstairs area and have the option to use the smart TV’S to show pictures, videos, or choose their own channel to watch separately.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Not only was Benjamin Franklin one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he was a gifted inventor, author, printer, politician, postmaster, scientist, civic activist, statesman, and foreign diplomat. There might be a few things on this list that you didn’t know were Franklin’s creations! • Born in Boston in 1706, Franklin’s formal schooling ended at age 10. At 12, he began an apprenticeship in his brother’s print shop. • His first invention came along when Franklin was 11. An enthusiastic swimmer, he developed a pair of swim fins. They weren’t what we think of today as flippers, but rather were a pair of oval planks with holes in the center that were attached to the hands. • At 17, Franklin moved to Philadelphia, where he worked in print shops over the next few years. At 22, he set up his own shop, and the following year began publishing his own newspaper. Always an avid reader, Franklin came up with the idea of fellow book lovers sharing their books with others, as well as pooling funds to buy more books for the group. Franklin’s idea turned into the Library Company of Philadelphia, the first subscription library. When he was 33, the collection was moved to Independence Hall. • Franklin’s love of books led to his invention of the “long arm,” a wooden pole with a grasping claw on the end that enabled him to reach books on high shelves. • When Franklin was 36, he devised a metallined fireplace with rear baffles for better airflow. Placed in the middle of the room, this cast iron stove radiated heat in all directions and kept the room warm hours after the fire went out. In addition to greater heat, the Franklin stove produced less smoke than an open fireplace and used less wood. • Serving as Philadelphia’s postmaster for 16 years led to Franklin’s invention of an improved odometer. It began with his curiosity as to how far he was traveling by carriage between Philadelphia and Boston, carrying out his postmaster duties. He attached a geared device to the rear wheel of his carriage, measuring the revolutions made by the wheel. Every 400 revolutions caused the device to register ahead one mile. He used his invention to streamline the mail delivery, measuring the distances between postal stations to develop more efficient mail routes. • Franklin was even responsible for a musical instrument called the hydrocrystalophone, which in simpler terms was known as the glass armonica. His armonica consisted of a series of glass bowls of graduated size floating in a tray of water. The varying sizes produced different musical tones based on the size of the bowl. Before long, it was being played in concert halls across Europe and America, and even Mozart and Beethoven composed music for it. • At 79, Franklin was still coming up with new ideas. Suffering from presbyopia, he conceived the idea of “double spectacles,” which allowed him to see distant objects as well as see close work. He hired his optician to use lenses from two sets of glasses, cutting them horizontally, and putting them into frames. It was the birth of bifocals! • Benjamin Franklin did not patent a single one of his inventions, choosing to gift them to the public. In his words, “As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own, freely and gladly.”
