by Janet Spencer In May 27, 1796, the first U.S. patent for a piano was issued in the U.S. to James McLean of New Jersey, for “an improvement in piano fortes.” Although there were many patents on improved designs for pianos over the years, this was the first piano patent awarded in the U.S. Come along with Tidbits as we play the piano! • The piano’s ancestors include the harp, the hammered dulcimer, and the psaltery, which is a box-type instrument with strings that were either plucked or bowed. When a new design allowed strings to be plucked when keys were depressed, the harpsichord was born and it quickly became a popular instrument in the 1600s. From there came similar but slightly different instruments: the clavichord and the spinet, which led to the invention of the piano. • On a harpsichord, the strings are plucked when the musician’s fingers hit the keys. It has a higher pitch than the piano, the notes cannot be sustained, and there’s no way to vary how loudly the instrument plays. The piano, by contrast, has strings that are hit by hammers, meaning the musician can play either softly or loudly. “Piano” is the Italian word for soft and “forte” is the Italian word for loud. The piano’s original name was “pianoforte” meaning “soft/loud” and was then shortened to just piano. (Continued next page)

• An Italian man named Bartolomeo Cristoforti built the first practical piano in 1700. He originally called it a “gravicembalo col piano e forte” (the “great harpsichord with soft and loud capabilities”). Three Cristofori pianos survive today. They were made in the 1720s, making them the oldest pianos in existence. • The piano replaced the harpsichord in popularity by the end of the 1700s. Piano building began in America in 1775. The Industrial Revolution made high-quality piano wire readily available. In England, John Broadwood developed machines to manufacture pianos, reducing the cost. By 1870, Steinway & Sons were in business. By 1911, there were 301 piano builders in the U.S.. Production peaked in the 1920s and declined during the Great Depression. • Today, there are approximately 15 piano manufacturers in the United States, but more pianos are built in Japan than any other country. • The piano has the largest range of volume of any acoustic instrument, as well as the widest range of notes, from below the lowest note of the double bassoon to above the top note of the piccolo. It allows more notes to be played simultaneously than any other instrument and is the only instrument (aside from the organ) that can play both the melody and the accompaniment at the same time. It’s also the largest instrument. The piano’s design has not changed for nearly 100 years. • Pianist Arthur Rubinstein was in the lobby of the concert hall, watching the capacity crowd come in to hear him play when the ticket agent put out the “Sold Out” sign. The agent, mistaking Rubinstein for a member of the audience, informed the pianist that there were no seats available. “May I be seated at the piano?” he asked. (Continued next page)

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

AHaveMoMMA’s FAith you ever had anyone say something that changed

your life? It could have been a phrase, a sentence, or even an encouraging word that you needed to help you get over a speed bump. There is an unidentified hero in scripture. She was an unnamed mom that was driven by desperation, love, and vision for her kid who was involved and held captive by evil and bad choices. She had tried everything that was offered in her timeline. Nothing worked!!! She heard, believed, and chased a man named Jesus because she had vision and faith He could help. The problem was; 1) she was a woman, 2) she was not Jewish, and 3) she came from a hostile country that was at war with Israel. WOW, can you imagine the faith this woman had to jump over those hurdles. When she arrived on scene, she was ignored, chastised and encouraged to go home. Jesus took her aside and began a life changing conversation. After their ping pong match he said, YOU HAVE GREAT FAITH!!! Her daughter was healed that very instance. This woman crossed barriers, persisted in her driven state, and saw something far better than what was being presented to her. Here is what I can learn from this no name momma’s faith; Don’t let obstacles stop you, Persevere through the storms of life, and Believe.

Mrs. Smith needed to have her piano tuned so she asked a friend for a recommendation. She then made an appointment with the piano tuner, Mr. Oppernockity. He arrived 2 days later, tuned the piano satisfactorily, and left. Several days later Mrs. Smith noticed that the piano was terribly out of tune again. She called the tuner to complain about the tuning and to ask for a return visit to solve the problem. However, the tuner replied, “I’m sorry ma’am, but Oppernockity only tunes once!”

1. The piano is considered a part of the percussion family because it uses a hammer to hit the strings. 2. A new piano should be tuned four times the first year (with the change of seasons) and at least twice a year after that. 3. It’s estimated there are over ten million pianos in American homes, businesses, and institutions. 4. About 100,000 pianos are made per year in the United States alone. 5. 10,000 out of the 12,000 parts in a piano move.

• Why do most pianos have three pedals? When you hit a piano key, a hammer hits the strings. The strings ring until the key is let up, when a damper falls on the strings and stops the sound. When the right pedal is depressed, the strings are not dampened and continue to ring, giving a rich resonating tone. Each piano hammer normally strikes three strings for a full tone, but when the left pedal is pressed, the hammers shift position so that they fall on only two of the three strings for a softer tone. When the middle pedal is pressed, it will sustain the notes of the keys that are down when the pedal is pressed, but no other notes that are played afterwards, so a pianist can play rumbling notes at the bottom of the scale and have them sustained while playing tinkly high notes at the top of the scale. • When you soft-pedal something, you are referring to the pedal on a piano which is used to mute the tone. When you pull out all the stops, you are acting like an organist who pulls out all the knobs, or stops, in order to use all the organ pipes. • Mozart challenged Haydn to play an impossible piece of music which resulted in hands at both ends of the piano and a note to be played in the middle, which Haydn could not do. But Mozart triumphantly bobbed down and used his nose to strike the key. • “I always make sure that the lid over the keyboard is open before I start to play.” -Artur Schnabel, Australian pianist, when asked the secret of piano playing. • Musician Max Reger played piano in Schubert’s “Trout” quintet in a concert and later received a basket of trout from an admirer. He wrote the fan a letter thanking him for the gift, and casually mentioned that in his next concert he was going to perform Haydn’s “Minuet of the Ox.” • Russian composer Anton Rubinstein would often sleep late. His wife devised a scheme to get him out of bed. She would go up to the piano above his bedroom and loudly play unresolved chords. Rubinstein, who couldn’t stand unresolved chords, would jump out of bed and rush up to the piano to play the final chords, and his wife would sneak into his bedroom and make up the bed.

Little Noah came into the house with a new harmonica. "Grandpa, do you mind if I play this in here?" "Of course not, Noah. I love music. In fact, when your grandma and I were young, music saved my life." "What happened?" "Well, it was during the famous Johnstown flood. The dam broke and when the water hit our house it knocked it right off the foundation. Grandma got on the dining room table and floated out safely." "How about you?" "Me? I accompanied her on the piano!"

• Russian pianist Vladimir Pachmann enjoyed teasing audiences. A favorite trick was to play endlessly with the piano stool before starting to play. He would twist it up then lower it, adjusting and readjusting it until the audience became impatient. Then he would rush offstage and return with a large book, placing it on the stool. He would settle down, ready to begin the recital when suddenly he’d stand up one more time, rip a single page from the book— and then begin to play. • When the cat belonging to composer Domenico Scarlatti walked across his piano keys, it inspired him to write “Cat’s Fugue.” • Polish pianist Josef Hofmann walked on stage at a concert, waited for the applause to die down, sat blankly at his piano for a moment, then leaned over and asked a woman in the first row, “May I see your program for a moment? I have forgotten what comes first!” • Oscar Levant was giving a piano concert when, during the middle of the piece, a phone began ringing very loudly off-stage. Levant continued to play but the phone kept ringing. Finally he paused, turned to the audience, and said, “If that’s for me, tell them I’m busy.” Once he was annoyed when a woman arrived late for a concert and began walking down the center aisle to find her seat as he was playing. He began to play in time to her steps. She walked quickly, he played quickly. She hesitated, he hesitated. She slowed down, he slowed down. By the time she reached her seat, the audience was hysterical.

* Cut a cord of firewood in the spring, and cure it yourself. Store it away from the house and properly care for the wood by stacking it where it will have access to the sun and wind to dry it. Let it season for six months or longer, and you’ll have firewood ready when the temperatures drop again. * “If you’re melting chocolate in your microwave, do yourself a favor: Line the bowl with wax paper or parchment paper. The chocolate is still easy to stir, but when you take it out, you can scrape all the chocolate off the paper so that none is wasted!” -- A.A. in Florida * Shopping for bagged frozen vegetables? Give them the squeeze test: If the vegetables feel hard and solid, they have thawed and refrozen. Choose another bag. * Keep musty smells out of your linen closet by stashing a box of baking soda on one of the shelves, just as you would in the kitchen. * “Place a bit of clear tape over the spot where you are going to drive in a nail to prevent the nail from cracking drywall. It will go right in. Also, if you’re nailing into wood, drag your nail through some soap (bar soap is fine) before striking it. This does the same thing -- it will keep the wood from splitting. You can even keep a travel-size bar of soap in your nail apron for just this purpose.” -- P.K. in New Jersey Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Grocery Savings Many of us on a fixed income have problems affording groceries. The National Institute on Aging has some helpful tips on how to save on your bill. * Read the weekly sales flyers and try to plan your menu around what’s featured. Pick up a few extras, but only if they are sale items you’d normally buy or will use before the expiration date. * Clip coupons and use them. Try store brands -- it might surprise you that they’re comparable to name brands. * Reconsider whether to buy convenience foods. Instant hot cereals, rice, entrees and soups will cost you more. * Divide bulk purchases with a neighbor, and both of you can save money. If chicken is on sale and you both take half, you’ll have enough for a few meals and can freeze the rest. You can do the same with anything that comes in large packages or that contains more than you’ll eat before it expires. * Keep an eye on unit pricing. Bigger isn’t always cheaper. * Shop for foods that are nutrient-dense: seafood and lean meats, vegetables, fruit and whole grains. Spend your money there before you buy snack foods. * Consider free or low-cost meals. Senior centers often host a monthly luncheon for a low price. If you qualify for Meals on Wheels, those can go a long way to stretching your food budget. If you qualify for the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, you’ll have access to coupons that can be used at farmers’ markets for fresh fruits, vegetables and honey. Call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for help in finding services in your area. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

The United States Declaration of Independence is a very important thing in the history of the United States of America. It is a paper which says that the United States is a country not ruled by Great Britain. American people wrote the Declaration in the year 1776. These very same people were all immigrants from other parts of the world. In the 18th century (1700s), the United States of America was not a country. It was a colony of Great Britain. This means that the country of Great Britain ruled the United States. All American people had to do what the King of Great Britain said. (Long live the King). During this time, many American people were angry at the King of Great Britain. They did not want their land to be a colony. They wanted America to be a country, so all American people could do what they wanted to do instead of what the King wanted them to do. Last week I ran a very large editorial about anarchy. We seem to have this very same problem in our current society as our fore fathers did. No we are not ruled by a King, but we have very upset people in this country. I do believe that some of the problem is that we the people that vote are of the few people who care. Many people who complain often times say they don't vote because their vote would not matter. Well there have been some very close calls. George Bush took Florida by just a few hundred votes out of the millions of people in that state. Of course the total number of registered voters is much lower and the number that vote is even lower. Mayor Ron Corbett has also been elected in the state house, seven times in fact. But now he is against big brother telling him how to run the cameras. But isn't it big brother when cities use camera surveillance? Now I'm in favor of the speed laws and especially public safety.

• Heinrich Steinweg was born in Germany in 1797. After being orphaned at the age of 15, he went to work as a carpenter. Later he apprenticed to an organ builder, where he discovered a natural talent for music. Soon he became the organist for the local church. • He began to build instruments in his kitchen, doing it secretly to avoid trouble with the local union guild. He started with zithers and guitars before moving on to pianos. In 1935 he built a square piano as a wedding gift for his bride, and a baby grand he constructed in 1836 is now on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. • Because of the unstable political situation in Germany, Steinweg sent one of his sons over to the U.S. to scope out possibilities. A year later, he followed with his wife and five more sons, leaving one son behind in Germany to continue the family piano-building business there. He and his sons worked in various piano factories in New York until they were able to establish their own company in 1853. • At this point Heinrich Steinweg changed his name to Henry Steinway, and called his company Steinway & Sons. Just two years later, one of their pianos earned them first prize at the New York Industrial Fair. This was followed by more awards. By 1862, Steinway pianos had received more than 35 medals. Composers Franz Liszt and Anton Rubinstein swore that Steinways were the best pianos available. Steinway’s fame spread. • In 1866 Steinway invented and constructed the first upright piano. That’s also the year they founded Steinway Hall in New York City. The acoustics were excellent and the theater seated 2000 people. This served as New York’s premiere concert hall until Carnegie Hall opened in 1891. • Anyone attending an event at Steinway Hall had to pass through the lobby where a variety of Steinway pianos were diplayed. This increased demand for the pianos, and they sold an extra 400 pianos the first year alone. • The company moved to its current location in Astoria, New York, and built Steinway Village. Virtually its own town, Steinway Village had its own foundries, factory, post office, parks and housing for employees. With a workforce of 350 men, production increased from 500 to 1,800 pianos per year. • The Steinway company was granted 127 patents for improvements in the piano over the years. By the time Henry died in 1871, leaving his sons to carry on, Steinway pianos were known as the world’s finest. • By 1900 the company was producing 3,500 pianos a year. Steinway & Co. presented their 100,000th grand piano to President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, and in 1938, the Steinway’s 300,000th piano was given to President Franklin Roosevelt. It still occupies the East Room in the White House. • During World War II, Steinway built 2,436 special models called the “Victory Vertical” or “G.I. Piano.” It was a small piano that four men could lift, painted olive drab, and designed to be carried aboard ships or dropped by parachute from an airplane to bring music to the soldiers. • Until his death in 2008 at the age of 93, Henry Z. Steinway, the great-grandson of the Steinway founder, still worked for Steinway. He was the last Steinway family member to be president of the company. • Steinway & Sons crafts approximately 2,500 pianos a year worldwide not only in Astoria, New York, but also in Hamburg, Germany. Each Steinway takes about a year to build. Prices start at $50,000 and a Steinway never loses its value.

Last week we wrote about anarchy as the problem to the fall of the Roman Empire which is the direction our current government is heading if society doesn't start following common sense. Here is an article that School Bus Driver Lynn DeDecker has sent me which was also in the news a while ago. In Linn County a first time offender of “Kayden’s Law” (Running of a School Bus Stop Sign) can plea down to Reckless Driving to avoid a 30 day suspension of their Driver’s License. Was this the intent of the Law? As a school bus driver for eight years in Linn County, I am passionate about the safety of our kids on/off the Bus.

School Buss Stop Sign Violators

While our school hired a substitute driver to take my routes, I recently went to the Linn County Court House to testify on two separate cases of violators that drove thru my extended, flashing stop sign. One case involved the delivery of two mentally, physically impaired girls to an after school day care center. The other case involved the unloading of a wheel chair from a Lift Bus on a two-lane street. Both violators sped by the bus without any hesitation or consideration of the safety of those kids! In both cases I did not get to testify in magistrate court nor did the Asst. District Attorney ask me the details of the violations. She applied her own discretion and offered the plea down without the consideration of the true intent of “Kayden’s Law”.

Iowa Judges rule from the bench more than any other state. What this means is that they often don't consider the rule of law from appellate cases. So Attorneys never know how a case may be resolved because common sense seldom does. Now with having a District Attorney lowering the charges before getting in front of the Judge, it just gets that much easier for the offender. This seems to be a real problem for the police, as they also get frustrated when criminals are released without being prosecuted like they should be. This can lead to Anarchy which was the prime cause to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Many schools in the state are spending thousands of $$ to equip their busses with video cameras on the stop arms to record these flagrant violators. Other Linn County Schools inform me that even with this preponderance of evidence, the Asst. DA will plea down the violations if she feels the driver’s license suspension for 30 days would be a burden on the individual. Are you kidding me?? What’s a child’s life worth?? Our judicial system has really let our kids down. Will it take a serious injury or student death in Linn County for the District Attorney’s office to apply the law and send a message to the violators or just let them pay a fine and walk away!

VICTOR BORGE

• Victor Borge was born Borge Rosenbaum in 1909 in Copenhagen, Denmark. His father was a musician and his mother was a pianist, and Victor followed in their footsteps, starting out as a classical pianist but finding he also had a gift for humor. By the 1930s he was one of Denmark’s most popular performers. • When the Nazis occupied Denmark during World War II, Borge was playing a concert in Sweden. Instead of going home to Denmark, he escaped to Finland and then traveled to America on the last neutral ship to make it out of Finland. He arrived in New York City in 1940 with $20 to his name. • He didn’t speak a word of English but learned the language by going to the movies. One of his first gigs was at a large club in Florida, for which he was to be paid one dollar for each member of the audience. Three hundred guests saw his show. When it came time to be paid, Borge pointed out to the management that the club’s 40 waiters had also greatly enjoyed his performance. He got $340. • The gimmick that launched Borge to fame almost immediately in the U.S. involved him reading perfectly normal sentences, while making different sounds for every punctuation mark. In 1941 he performed his gig to warm up the radio audience for the Bing Crosby show, and ended up being a regular on the Bing Crosby show for the next 56 weeks. The following year he was proclaimed “the best new radio performer of the year” and later had his own radio show on NBC. • His wacky brand of musical comedy propelled him to great heights. He made a habit of falling off piano stools, getting tangled up in the sheet music, and completely missing the piano keyboard with his hands. He played elaborate renditions of “Happy Birthday” in the style of Mozart, Brahms, Wagner, and Beethoven with great wit. • He would sometimes begin a performance by asking if there were any kids in the audience. He would say, “We do have some children in here; that means I can’t do the second half in the nude. I’ll wear the tie. (pause) The long one. (pause) The very long one, yes.” • Borge would play a strange-sounding piano tune from sheet music, looking increasingly confused. He would then turn the sheet upside down, and then play the actual tune. When his energetic playing would cause him to fall off the piano bench, he would open the seat lid, take out the two ends of an automotive seat belt, and buckle himself onto the bench. After finishing the song, he would stand to take a bow, but the bench would be lifted up because he forgot to unbuckle the seat belt. • The theater program always listed 19 numbers he was to perform. They were: 1) Frankly 2) We 3) Don’t 4) Know 5) What 6) Mr. Borge 7) Will 8) Do 9) But 10) We’re 11) Sure 12) He’ll 13) Keep 14) Us 15) Posted 16) From 17) Time 18) To 19) Time. • “Would you like a picture?” he would ask fans approaching with a camera. He would then pull a snapshot out of his pocket and hand it over to them. • He wrote a book called “My Favorite Intermissions” published in 1971. • His one-man show “Comedy in Music” ran for 849 performances on Broadway, setting a record for a one-man show and earning him a slot in the Guinness Book of World Records. • Victor Borge continued to tour until his last days, performing up to 60 times per year when he was 90 years old. Borge died in Connecticut at the age of 91, after more than 75 years of entertaining. He died peacefully in his sleep a day after returning from a concert in Denmark. He earned his reputation as “the comedian of the keyboard” and “the clown prince of Denmark.”
