JUNE JUMBLE

by Kathy Wolfe Summer is just around the corner, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to bring you up to date on a few of June’s facts and historical events. • June is most likely named after the mythological Roman goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter. Juno was the goddess of marriage, which explains why it is considered good luck to get married in June. • The solstice occurs between June 20 and 22. In the northern hemisphere, it’s the summer solstice, while to those living in the southern hemisphere, it’s the winter solstice. At this time, the Earth is at a point in its orbit that the North Pole is leaning most toward the sun, as far north as the sun ever gets during the year. Everywhere north of the equator experiences days longer than 12 hours at the June solstice, while locations south of the equator have days shorter than 12 hours. • The first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in Flint, Michigan, on June 30, 1953. It was Polo White with a red interior, automatic transmission, wraparound windshield, and the ability to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 12 seconds. It was the innovation of GM designer Harley Earl, who desired to have an American sports car that could compete with the Jaguar, Ferrari, and MG. There were just 300 Corvettes made that year, with a sticker price of $3,490. …turn the page for more!

• Indianapolis, Indiana, was home to the final concert performed by Elvis Presley, an event held at Market Square Arena on June 26, 1977. His last song sung to a live audience was “Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.” Less than two months later, Elvis died in his Memphis, Tennessee, home. • On June 2, 2004, software engineer Ken Jennings made his first appearance on the popular game show Jeopardy, beginning a record-setting winning streak. By the time he was defeated, he had won 74 consecutive games, racking up winnings of $2,520,700. The program’s ratings were 22% higher during Jennings’ string of wins over the previous year. Jennings didn’t stop with Jeopardy, but went on to appear on Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?, Grand Slam, Stump the Master, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. In addition, he appeared on Jeopardy’s Tournament of Champions, which brought his total Jeopardy winnings to $3,196,300. Jennings has written four books, including Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs. • Every June, Belmont, New York, is home to the Belmont Stakes, a 1.5 mile horse race that is the third leg of the American Triple Crown. It’s held five weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks after the Preakness Stakes, on a Saturday between June 5 and 11. On June 11, 1919, the chestnut thoroughbred Sir Barton became the first horse to win the Triple Crown, even though that name had not yet been conceived. There have been 11 horses that have won the coveted crown since 1919, including 1973’s winner, Secretariat, the horse that holds the record for fastest time. There hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner since 1978, when jockey Steve Cauthen rode Affirmed to victory.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle You Think You had a Bad daY?

Have you ever had one of those days that you thought was going to get better after something really good happened? You get surprised and excited only to find out what happened wasn’t what you thought it was going to be. 41 verses in John 9 are about a no-name man who was blind at birth and had settled in his lonely existence by begging for money on the street corner. He was judged, labeled, and sentenced to a lifestyle of isolation and poverty because of his disability. Out of nowhere, some guy puts mud in his eyes and tells him to wash. His eyes were opened for the first time. What should have been a party and celebration turned into a nightmare. His friends freaked out and turned him over to the authorities who interrogated him and assaulted his character and integrity. His parents, who were called in for validation, abandoned him and betrayed him. He was put on trial, thrown out, and sentenced to the streets again all because he experienced a miracle. Only this time was worse because he could see. His short lived fire of new life was snuffed out by a wet cold blanket of his past. In his darkest moment, Jesus shows up and gives him a new identity as he believed and worshipped. Those two acts, belief and worship, will keep us off the streets of life as we learn to navigate the streets heaven.

JUNE JUMBLE (cont'd):

• Stephen Carlton Clark was a Cooperstown, New York, hotel owner who was looking for a way to increase tourism to a town badly hurt by the Great Depression. He came up the idea of a baseball museum to house baseballrelated artifacts and exhibits, and to honor the game’s exceptional players. The Baseball Hall of Fame opened in June of 1939, and five of the game’s greats were elected to the Hall – Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson. Twenty more were selected after the initial five, and were inducted at the Grand Opening. In order to be considered for election, a player must have 10 years of major league experience, and have been retired five years. To date, 310 have been elected, with four more slated to be formally inducted in July, 2015. • In June of 1994, the eyes of millions of Americans were glued to their television sets, watching a white Ford Bronco being chased across Los Angeles. Inside the vehicle was former football hero O.J. Simpson, who was under suspicion for killing his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman. Twenty police cars joined the chase, along with 20 helicopters, mostly from the news media. Simpson finally surrendered to police in his driveway and headed for trial the following year. Although the jury reached a verdict of not guilty in just four hours, in 1997, Simpson was found liable for punitive and compensatory damages of $40 million in a civil trial filed by the victims’ families. Simpson remained free until 2008, when he was found guilty of 12 charges related to his breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room to steal a number of his sports memorabilia at gunpoint. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison. Summer Job For her summer job, my 18-year-old daughter arranged interviews at several day-care centers. At one meeting, she sat down on one of the kiddie seats, no simple task for most people. The interview went well, and at the end, the day-care center director asked the standard question, "Can you give me one good reason we should hire you?" "Because I fit in the chairs." She got the job.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT RAFFLE

• The Flying Wallenda Family have been performing various daredevil stunts since 1922. Nik Wallenda, a seventh-generation member of the group made history on June 15, 2012 when he became the first to successfully walk on a tightrope over Niagara Falls from the United States into Canada, crossing at the river’s widest point. Although the family is well-known for performing feats without a safety net, Nik was required by ABC television to wear a safety harness for this stunt, the first time in his life he was required to do so. Just one year later, in June of 2013, Nik was making history once again as he became the first aerialist to walk over the Little Colorado River Gorge in the Grand Canyon. Walking on a wire just 2 inches thick, Nik crossed the 1,400-foot distance, 1,500 feet above the river, this time without a harness or safety net. Having made his professional tightrope walking debut at age 13, this daredevil now holds nine Guinness World Records for his many aerobatic stunts. • June 18, 1983 marked the first day that an American woman went into space. Flying on the space shuttle Challenger, 32-yearold astronaut Sally Ride spent six days on NASA’s seventh shuttle mission. Ride joined NASA in 1978 after achieving a bachelor’s degree in physics, another bachelor’s in English, a Master’s of Science, and a doctorate in Physics. She made history again in 1984 when she became the first American woman to travel to space a second time, another Challenger mission which lasted nine days. However, Ride wasn’t the first woman in space. That honor goes to Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who also made her historic trip in June.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* Need a patch for old woodwork? Try mixing paint (whatever color you are using) and flour. Make a paste, fill in the holes and let dry. It’s hard like cement, and can be sanded into shape if necessary. * Use baking soda to scrub away stuck-on food on your grill. Sprinkle it on the metal brush, and scrub away. If your grate is beyond the power of fire and baking soda, remove it and lay it on the ground on some newspaper. Spray with oven cleaner and let sit (keep pets and kids away from it). Rinse with a garden hose and replace on the grill. * “I have a plastic cup that changes color when the drink is hot. Oddly enough, it changes at the perfect temperature for my baby’s bath. So, I fill the tub and toss in–the cup.Knock. When the cup starts to change Knock, back to its original color (blue), I know the --Who’s there? bathwater is not too hot.” -- P. in Idaho Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly --Summer.

* On June 10, 1752, Benjamin Franklin flies a kite during a thunderstorm and collects a charge in a Leyden jar when the kite is struck by lightning, demonstrating the electrical nature of lightning. Among the terms coined by Franklin are “battery,” “conductor” and “electrician.” * On June 8, 1896, President Grover Cleveland calls for an investigation into the number of “aliens,” or foreign nationals, employed in the federal government. Anti-immigrant sentiment was widespread, as immigrants were blamed for increases in crime and for driving down wages. * On June 14, 1909, folksinger Burl Ives is born in Illinois. Ives is best known for his voice over work as Sam the Snowman in the animated Christmas special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” * On June 11, 1949, Hank Williams makes his Grand Ole Opry debut, electrifying a live audience at Ryman Auditorium that called him out for six encores. Organizers implored fans not to call him out for more so the rest of the show could go on. * On June 13, 1971, The New York Times begins to publish parts of a topsecret Department of Defense study of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The “Pentagon Papers” indicated that the government had been lying for years about the war. ("Sound familiar") (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Safety Monitoring That Won’t Embarrass A show of hands, please: How many of us want to wear an emergencyalert pendant around our necks and announce to the world that we need to be monitored by others? Not many of us. There is a gadget on the market that will allow us to be discreetly monitored in a number of ways. The Lively 24/7 Emergency Medical Alert System comes as a watch that can track whether we take our medications, how often we open the refrigerator and how many steps we take (to make sure we’re moving around), along with an additional sensor that can be customized. Miss taking a pill, and the watch will let you or your family know. If the battery gets low, the watch will tell you. The Lively has been around for a while, with updates added regularly. A new feature that’s coming: The watch can be paired with your cellphone if you need help 24/7 while you’re away from home. Setup is easy: Plug the sensor hub into the wall, put on the watch and set up the account online. You don’t need an Internet connection other than for that. If you need help, press the button on the watch. The display can be read in the dark, and you can even wear the watch in the shower. The cost of the equipment is $49.95, and plans start at $27.95 a month, depending whether you pay monthly, yearly or every two years. Call 1-888757-0711 for more information, or go online to www.mylively.com. Don’t miss the link to the PBS NewsHour video near the bottom of the page. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

TWO JUNE INVENTORS

Two famous inventions can trace their history to the month of June. Let’s examine their inventors and how these items came into use. • Christopher Sholes was a printer and newspaperman by trade, editor of the Wisconsin Enquirer in Green Bay during the 1840s. He was also involved in politics as a state senator and assemblyman, and served as a Milwaukee postmaster and a commissioner of public works. • In 1866, Sholes and a fellow printer, Samuel Soule, patented a paging and numbering device that automatically numbered the pages of a book. When they showed this invention to another local amateur inventor, Carlos Glidden, Glidden wondered if the machine couldn’t be adapted to produce words and letters in addition to the numbers. Although another inventor had come up with a typewriter around that time, it was very difficult and complicated to use. Sholes, Soule, and Glidden were granted a patent for their “type-writer” in 1868, and this invention was the first typewriter to become commercially successful. • The team continued to make improvements to their machine, with Sholes developing the common keyboard layout still in use today, the QWERTY keyboard. He ordered the letters in this manner so that typists would experience less typewriter jams. Sholes also developed the shift key for upper case letters, his final improvement before he sold the copyright to the Remington Arms Company for $12,000. • In June of 1890, the U.S. Census Bureau started using an automatic tabulating machine to count census returns. It was the brainstorm of a young engineer named Herman Hollerith whose inventions were the foundation of our modern information processing. • Ten years prior, as a recent college graduate, Hollerith had worked as a statistician on 1.Inthe June, 1916, she became the first female 1880 census, and realized the need for film star to sign a million dollar contract.

After several trials with

paper tape, he switched to 3” x 7” cards, with each card holding all of one person’s data, and designed a tabulator and sorter to register the results.

• Hollerith’s design was so successful that he won a contract from the Census “Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to Bureau for the 1890 census. His invention me those have always been the two most reduced the time required for the count beautiful words in the English language.” to two years and Henrysaved James the taxpayers $5 million. It was adopted by Russia, Austria, Canada, France, and Norway for their censuses as well. The 1900 U.S. Census was also counted with Hollerith’s tabulator.

His 1890 tabulator was wired to work only on 1890 census cards. • In 1911, at age 51, Hollerith sold his Tabulating Machine Company for $2,312,000. His company later evolved into the International Business Machines Corporation, better known as IBM. What’s the most recycled item in the U.S.? Not surprisingly, it’s aluminum beverage cans. But

A man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from Phoenix to Flagstaff. He got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains just became too much and he could go no farther. He stuck his thumb out, but after 3 hours hadn't gotten a single person to stop. Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled over and offered him a ride. Of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car. The owner of the Corvette found a piece of rope lying by the highway and tied it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and told the man that if he was going too fast, to honk the horn on his bike and that he would slow down. Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them. Not to be outdone, the Corvette pulling the bike took off after the other. A short distance down the road, the Corvettes, both going well over 120 mph, blew through a speed trap. The police officer noted the speeds from his radar gun and radioed to the other officer that he had two Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. He then relayed, ''...and you're not going to believe this, but there's guy on a 10 speed bike honking to pass.''

Drum & Bugle Corps show returns to Cedar Rapids to celebrate 50th anniversary of Emerald Knights By Cindy Hadish Roy Gongwer was just 10-years-old when he became a charter member of a Cedar Rapids musical tradition.

The formative event happened July 12, 1965, at Robbins Lake Park in Cedar Rapids, Gongwer vividly recalls. "We had a potluck meal, and the parents held their meeting while us youngsters played. When the meeting was over, (corps director) Bill Matus called us 28 boys to form a line on the south side of the pavilion. He called us to attention and said, 'So this is where we start with these boys: The Emerald Knights Drum & Bugle Corps.'" Fast-forward 50 years and Gongwer, now living in central Iowa, is joining together with some of the many friends he and others have made in the past halfcentury, as the Emerald Knights celebrate the corps' 50th anniversary.

As part of the celebration, alumni from Emerald Knights, as well as the corps under its other names, including Nite Express, are rehearsing for a single show. The Tournament of Drums, a long-standing tradition in Cedar Rapids, returns to Kingston Stadium after an absence of nearly a decade. The Alumni Corps, consisting of horn players, color guard, and drummers like Gongwer, will perform at the show on July 27, 2015, in which six other corps from across the country and Canada will compete. Youths in drum & bugle corps are generally ages 12 to 21, and spend the summer perfecting their shows in competitions throughout the United States and beyond. Corps competing on July 27 will include the Vanguard Ca-

dets of Santa Clara, Calif.; Les Stentors of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada; Genesis of Austin, Texas; Coastal Surge of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; River City Rhythm of Anoka, Minn.; and the Colt Cadets of Dubuque. The Alumni Corps, which has been rehearsing together since April,

will perform in exhibition. Former members in their 20s to those in their 60s will feature music that the Emerald Knights and Nite Express played in years past.

Drum corps activity in Cedar Rapids stems back to 1927, when 12 charter members formed the Cedar Rapids Playground Drum & Bugle Corps, the first drum and bugle corps in Iowa. Over the years, other corps were started in Cedar Rapids, including the Musketeers, the all-girl Cavaliers, (later renamed the Cedar Rapids Moose Girls, with sponsorship by Moose Lodge No. 304,) the Cadets and the Grenadiers. Former members of all of the corps are invited to Alumni Corps rehearsals. The next practices are noon to 4 p.m. June 13 and 1-5 p.m. June 27, both at Marion High School. "While the Emerald Knights have been inactive since 2002, we still have a long history to celebrate," said Jenifer Vick, chairwoman of the Tournament of Drums. "Even alumni who can't perform will have a chance to socialize and catch up with their drum corps friends at reunion events, and of course, anyone who enjoys watching musical performances is invited to the show at Kingston Stadium." Tickets to Tournament of Drums, on Monday, July 27, 2015, at Kingston Stadium in Cedar Rapids, are $12 in advance and $14 at the gate, with discounts for groups of 20 or more. Details about the alumni events and the show can be found on the Emerald Knights website: www.emerald knights reunion.com

MORE JUNE EVENTS

• Many of today’s music lovers have no idea what an “LP” is, choosing to download their music onto iPods and other electronic devices. In June of 1948, Columbia Records unveiled a 12-inch vinyl disc with 17 minutes of music on each side, revolving 33 1/3 times per minute. Up until that time, the “78” was the trend for phonograph records, revolving 78 times per minute and containing just one song per side. The first public demonstration of the LongPlaying record took place at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a recording of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, performed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. It would seem that LP’s would have instantly replaced the old “78”s in popularity, but four years later, “78”s still accounted for half of all record sales. • On June 6, 1946, a group of major arena owners met at New York City’s Commodore Hotel to discuss the formation of a league of professional basketball teams. They decided on 11 cities that would have a pro franchise – Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, New York, Toronto, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, and Cleveland. They named the league the Basketball Association of America, but three years later the name was changed to the National Basketball Association. Today there are 30 teams in six divisions in the NBA. • On June 6, 1944, in the midst of World War II, Allied forces crossed the English Channel, landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. On the orders of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, 6,000 vessels with 176,000 soldiers aboard departed England on a mission to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control. Overhead, 822 planes had dropped 18,000 parachutists early that morning. Codenamed Operation Neptune, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. • Remember when boxer Mike Tyson bit off opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear? That match took place on June 28, 1997 in the third round of the pair’s heavyweight match. It was two years after Tyson had been released from a federal penitentiary after serving three years on a rape charge. After Tyson regained his heavyweight title, the bout with Holyfield was scheduled. Holyfield easily won the first two rounds, which riled Tyson greatly. In the third round, Tyson spit out his mouthpiece, bit off a chunk of Holyfield’s right ear and spit it out onto the mat. Amazingly, Tyson was only given a two-point deduction, a physician declared Holyfield could continue, and the fight went on! With any sense of composure completely gone, Tyson then went after Holyfield’s other ear, biting an even bigger piece. The fight was called off, and Tyson was disqualified, fined $3 million (out of his $30 million purse) and suspended for 16 months from boxing. • Primarily celebrated in Texas, June 19 is known as Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorating the end of slavery in the U.S. Even though President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January, 1863, the act had little impact in Texas because of the small number of Union troops stationed there to enforce Lincoln’s order. Once General Robert E. Lee surrendered in April, 1865, Union soldiers landed at Galveston that June, bearing tidings that the war was over and all slaves were free.
