EARLY PIONEERS
• The Wright brothers were not the first people to fly a plane. Seven years prior to their 1903 flight, Samuel Pierpont Langley’s 16-foot plane travelled three quarters of a mile and stayed aloft for a minute and a half. The Wright’s claim to fame was that they made the first flight that carried a human. Langley’s plane was unmanned. • The world’s first fatal airplane crash occurred in 1908 when a propeller broke, sending the aircraft plunging 150 feet to earth. The pilot escaped with a broken leg, but the single passenger, Lt. Thomas Selfridge of the U.S. Signal Corps, was killed on impact. The pilot was Orville Wright. • Many people mistakenly think Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight. Actually, he made the first solo transatlantic flight, but many other transatlantic flights were made prior to his May 20-21, 1927 solo flight. For instance, there was Capt. John Alcock and Lt. Arthur Whitten Brown who flew a converted Vimy night bomber from Canada to Ireland on June 14 & 15, 1919.

EARLY PIONEERS cont’d • When Capt. Alcock and Lt. Brown flew from Canada to Ireland, they took with them Lucky Jim and Twinkletoes— two stuffed black cats, for luck. However, these “lucky” charms didn’t do much good. First, a super-heated exhaust pipe disintegrated. Then a blinding fog moved in and the plane would have taken a nose dive into the Atlantic if the fog hadn’t cleared 100 feet above the sea. Next, ice formed over the instruments on the wing after a snowstorm and Lt. Brown had to climb out on the wing to chip it off. But in spite of it all, the two men landed safely. Unfortunately, Alcock was killed six months later while flying in a fog in a Paris air show. Brown subsequently swore off flying forever, but his pilot son was killed in World War II. • President Wilson and other important officials gathered in May of 1918 to witness the take-off of the first airmail flight. The plane was to carry mail from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia. After take-off, the plane somehow went off course and landed in Waldorf, Maryland— which is farther away from Philadelphia than Washington is. The mail was eventually delivered by train. • In 1938 Howard Hughes filled his plane with ping-pong balls so it would float if it went down over the ocean. He then proceeded to set the speed record for flying around the world. • On March 2, 1949, a U.S. Superfortress bomber completed the first nonstop flight around the world when it landed at Fort Worth, Texas. The plane traveled 23,452 miles in 94 hours and 1 minute. It was refueled four times in flight. • In 1986, the Voyager accomplished the first round-the-world flight without refueling. Cruising at a speed between 65 and 120 mph at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 feet it took pilots Rattan & Yeager 216 hours, 3 minutes and 44 seconds to travel 25,012 miles. Q: Why don't ducks tell jokes when they fly? A: Because they would quack up!

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle
Fast Food Thinking Will Poison You We live in a fast food society and mindset. When we are hungry we eat right away. When we want something we go into to debt and buy it right away. If we are unhappy we build a quick case against those we are in conflict with and dismiss them right away. The results fill our life with pot holes of unresolved conflict which paves the road for an uncommitted life and a fast food diet. So here is what happens when I am unhappy with a school (we change schools, start a new one, or quit), a church (we change churches, start a new one, or quit), a sporting team (we change teams, start a new one, or we quit), a marriage (we get divorced, start a new one, or quit), and a job (we resign, we start a new one, or we quit). The list goes on and on as we attempt to survive the fast food junkie mentality of an unhealthy life. The antidote is to fight and not give in to the drive-through quick fixes on every corner of life. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Don’t quit!!!

What’s the difference between God and pilots? God doesn’t think he’s a pilot
1. What famous pilot flew for 43 years without a pilot’s license? 2. Which is longer: the wingspan of a Boeing 747, or the length of the first flight the Wright Brothers took? 3. The longest runway in the world is 7.5 miles (12 km) long. Where is it? 4. How many gallons of gas does it take to fill up a 747?
What’s the purpose of the propeller? 
To keep the pilot cool. If you don’t think so, just stop it and watch him sweat!

Famous Canadians
DOUGLAS McCURDY
• Douglas McCurdy, one of Canada’s premier aviators, was born in Nova Scotia in 1886, and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1906 with a degree in mechanical engineering. It didn’t take long for his career to ‘take off.’ • In 1907, he joined Alexander Graham Bell’s Aerial Experiment Association. In 1908, he helped Glenn Curtiss set up the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. In 1909, he became the first person in the British empire to fly an aircraft, becoming only the 9th person in history to fly a plane. In 1910, he was the first Canadian to be issued a pilot’s license. And in 1911, he made the first flight from Florida to Cuba, one of his most remarkable achievements. • From 1909 to 1911 McCurdy participated in flying exhibitions all over North America. Hoping to give the people of Cuba their first glimpse of mechanized flight, officials in Havana offered him $8,000 (worth $100,000 today) if he would be the first to fly from Key West to Havana. Although the 94-mile journey doesn’t seem like a big deal today, McCurdy knew that if the flight succeeded, he would set a new world record for distance travelled over open water. • McCurdy paid a tinsmith to make pontoons to attach to the wings in case he was forced to land at sea. The U.S. navy offered to string six torpedo boats along the line of flight, each puffing out smoke to aid in navigation. They would also be able rescue him if he crashed. • On a calm day in January of 1911, McCurdy took off from Key West on a short test flight, intending to circle around and land again. But the crowds surged forward, clogging the landing strip. He had no choice but to head out to sea. • Reaching an altitude of 1,000 feet and a speed of 48 mph, he could see the smoke from the funnels of the closest torpedo boat. He could hear their whistles blowing. After two hours, he spied the waterfront of Havana. Crowds thronged the beaches and a cheer went up. • Suddenly, just a few miles short of his goal, his engine quit as one cylinder after another gave out. He was forced to ditch in the ocean while Cuban citizens gasped in horror. Fortunately, the water was calm and the pontoons worked. The U.S.S. Pauling took only 15 minutes to reach the downed aircraft. McCurdy joked that his feet never even got wet, but the plane was a complete loss. Still, he had managed to set two records: it was the longest flight ever, and it was also the first flight ever taken that left the sight of land. • McCurdy had taken the precaution of shipping a second plane to Havana, and without even changing his clothes, he treated onlookers to a flying exhibition. City officials pledged to give McCurdy the prize money even though he hadn’t completed the original flight. At a gala ceremony in his honor, he was handed a fancy envelope. However, when he opened the envelope later, he found it empty. After making discreet inquiries as to how he could get his prize money, he was advised that it would be a touchy and difficult matter. He dropped the issue. • Douglas McCurdy went on to achieve much more. In 1915, he established the first aviation school in Canada, and was the first manager of Canada’s first airport. He was also instrumental in setting up an aircraft manufacturing company located in Toronto. In 1947, McCurdy was appointed lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia, a post he continued until 1952. • Douglas McCurdy died in 1961, just a few years short of seeing man land on the moon.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta
Fix Busted Gutter Now
STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was novelist Tom Clancy who made the following sage observation: “The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.” ● Charlie Chan, the fictional Honolulu detective, was created in 1919 by novelist Earl Derr Biggers. The books featuring Chan became so popular that the character made the leap to radio, movies and television. Over the years, 13 actors have portrayed the detective, but not one of them has been of Chinese ancestry. ● Rattlesnakes can live up to 20 years. ● When the TV sitcom “The Addams Family” was being cast in the early 1960s, actor John Astin came in to audition for the role of Lurch, the cadaverous butler. He was immediately rejected for the part. As he was leaving the room, though, the producer spotted him, pulled him aside, and immediately offered him the role of Gomez -- the lead. All he had to do was grow a mustache. ● The nation of France was still executing people with the guillotine until 1977. ●In 1973, The Who began a major U.S. tour with a show in San Francisco. As the show was starting, though, drummer Keith Moon collapsed. He was revived, but then collapsed once more. At that point, in an unprecedented move, Pete Townsend asked for volunteers from the audience. Scott Halprin, a 19-yearold aspiring drummer, jumped at the chance. He played three numbers with the band, and lead singer Roger Daltry later told Rolling Stone magazine, “That drummer was really good.” ● Milk produced by a hippopotamus mother is pink. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: Last winter, under the weight of all the snow and ice we had, one part of my roof gutter busted wide open. We actually heard it: The snow inside it had solidified to ice, and the entire block of ice fell out of the now-open side of the gutter in the middle of the night with a loud crash. It looks like just a hinge on the end of the gutter run busted, though. Do you think I can just fix that hinge portion rather than replace the whole section? -- Larry in Melrose, Mass.

A: You’ll need to take a closer look at the gutter section before making that call, so grab a helper and a sturdy ladder, and climb up there -- being careful not to set your ladder next to any power lines or other hazards. Gutters will give way or even tear away under extreme stress, like an ice dam forming in or around them. In a way, it’s better for them to give way than cause severe damage to your roof eaves. But the damage usually requires the entire section to be replaced. You can patch the gutter temporarily if the end can be repaired (using a bit of wire or a screw to reattach the point that gave way) and the rest of the run is not seriously warped or torn. Make sure there are no leaf- or debris dams in the gutter run, so that it can drain freely during rainstorms. Once the patch is made, you need to plan on replacing it before this coming winter. The gutter section was weakened by the ice dam, and it likely won’t drain as well, will collect debris, and won’t hold up to another load of snow and ice. You also need to check the roof eaves and soffits near the damaged section. Any damage to these critical roof components needs to be addressed so that water and pests don’t get into the house through tears or holes, and so that the area can continue to support your gutter system. You also should consider installing gutter covers along the entire run, and look into the feasibility of installing ice and snow guards along the edge of the roof to reduce the chance of ice dams forming in the first place. Do an energy audit of your home (many utility companies offer a low-cost audit or audit kit) to find out where heat may be escaping -- warm spots near the gutters or roof eaves can cause snow to melt and then refreeze, leading to ice buildup. HOME TIP: A dab of roofing cement can quickly patch small holes in gutter runs, keeping water flowing away from your house until a permanent repair can be made. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

● “Instead of baking soda, I use three or four charcoal briquettes in a bowl to control odor and moisture in my refrigerator. I place the briquettes in a shallow dish, then cover the top of the bowl with a small piece of cheesecloth and secure it with a fat rubber band. The best thing is that I can still use these briquettes on the grill. In the summer, they get changed very regularly.” -- M.L. in Virginia ● When it comes to fruits and vegetables, five a day is nice, but more matters. Try setting aside time after you come home from the grocery store for prepping fruits and vegetables. Pre-bag snack sizes of carrots, celery, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe and apples. Pre-cut veggies for meals to make later in the week. Slice tomatoes and onions for sandwiches, and tear and separate lettuce for salads. They all make great, healthy treats, and it makes it easier to get your recommended servings!

● Have a stained coffee pot, but don’t want to use a harsh chemical cleanser to scrub that stain off? For gritty cleaning power, try using a tablespoon of milk and a tablespoon of salt. The salt gives you scrubbing power, and the milk’s acids help gently dissolve the stains.

The German words “fleiger abwehr kanonen” meant “aviator defense guns.” During World War II, the first letters of these three words, “flak” were used to describe the anti-aircraft fire encountered by pilots. This gave us not only flak jackets (which protected pilots from shrapnel) but also the word “flak” meaning unwanted opposition or interference.

Negative Social Interactions Health Psychology journal recently published a study update that looked at the role of negative social interactions in hypertension. Negative interactions? By that, the authors meant “exchanges or behaviors that involve excessive demands, criticism, disappointment or other unpleasantness.” In the course of the study, they asked questions about each of four social areas (partner, children, other family, friends), such as, “How much can you rely on them?” or “Do they really understand how you feel?” Besides age, sex, alcohol intake, tobacco use, physical activity, psychological wellbeing and other variables, researchers looked at the number of volunteer hours each participant did on a yearly basis. (I found that a bit curious.) Here are the results: ● There was an increased likelihood of developing hypertension because of negative social interactions with friends and family (not children or partner), but no increase because of negative interactions with children or partner. ● Women were more likely to develop hypertension due to negative social interactions with friends. One very interesting conclusion was that women have greater expectations of social relationships, and that “women demonstrated greater disapproval of behavior that violated friendship rules,” leading to greater distress when the “rules” aren’t followed. ● Those over age 65 were less likely to develop hypertension due to negative interactions, but those ages 51 to 64 were more likely. By age 65, it’s thought that we adapt and see negative interactions as less problematic, and that we have better coping strategies. The 51 to 64 group is the “sandwich” generation, responsible for both their children and parents, and therefore more likely to be under more stress. ● Those who volunteer at least 200 hours per year were less likely to develop hypertension, even with negative social interactions in their lives.

A LONG LEAP
• Goyathlay (meaning ‘one who yawns’) was an Apache born in 1829. He married and had three kids. In 1851, Mexican soldiers attacked his encampment, killing many, including Goyathlay’s family. Bent on revenge, the survivors went after the Mexicans. • Goyathlay battled fearlessly and without mercy. The Catholic Mexicans appealed to St. Jerome for help. Afterwards, the remaining Mexicans remarked on the bravery of the Apache warrior. They didn’t know his name, so they gave him a nickname, after the Mexican word for St. Jerome. It stuck. • Goyathlay, now known by his new nickname, became a military leader of his tribe who led many successful skirmishes. In 1886, tired of constant pursuit, he surrendered. He became a celebrity in his old age, and died in 1909. • In 1940, a platoon of paratroopers was nervous about the military’s first mass parachute jump scheduled for the following day. To bolster their courage, they went to a theater to watch a new movie about Goyathlay. Paratrooper Aubrey Eberhardt told his buddies he was going to yell the Apache warrior’s nickname as he bailed out, for inspiration. His buddies decided they would, too. It caught on, and throughout the war, the name was shouted as a battle cry whenever anyone bailed out of a plane. • Today this war whoop can be heard whenever people jump from high places, such as into the local swimming hole. What was Goyathlay’s Mexican nickname? Answer on next column. EMERGENCY BAIL-OUTS • Lt. I. M. Chisov of Russia bailed out of his damaged plane in 1942. With no parachute, he fell 21,980 feet landing on a steep, snowy mountainside and sliding down. He broke his pelvis and injured his spine but survived and recovered.
• In 1959, a military pilot name Col. Rankin bailed out of his single engine plane when the engines failed at 46,000 feet. A storm was in progress over the Carolina coast at the time, and he went right through the middle of it. It normally would take a man 13 minutes to fall that far, but Rankin got caught in the updrafts and came to earth 45 minutes later. Fortunately, his parachute opened at 10,000 feet and he landed intact. A passing motorist took him to the hospital, where he was treated for frostbite and shock. • In 1955, Pilot George Smith ejected from his disabled plane. That wouldn’t have been so bad, except that he was in a F100A Super Sabre jet fighter flying at supersonic speed at 35,000 feet. He became the first person to ever bail-out while traveling faster than the speed of sound. He was flying at 777 mph. On the way down, his clothing was shredded, and his socks, helmet, and oxygen mask ripped off. He experienced a deceleration force of 40 G’s, meaning that he weighed an equivalent of 40 times his weight. He was unconscious when he landed in the ocean off the coast of California. By some miracle, there was a boat less than 100 yards away. He was in a coma for a week and spent the next six months in the hospital. • During World War II, Captain J. H. Hedley was in a plane over Germany when the aircraft took a hit. Hedley was sucked out of the plane at 10,000 feet. The pilot took evasive action by plummeting in a vertical dive. When the plane pulled out of the dive, Hedley landed unhurt on the tail. He hung on till the plane was brought safely to a landing. • During the invasion of Normandy in WWII, thousands of dummies were dropped from planes with parachutes along with the real paratroopers in order to mislead the Germans concerning the size of the fighting force. Answer: Geronimo.

Peach-Strawberry Pudding
I don’t know which is best -- strawberries or peaches -- so I used them both in this ultra-easy (and delightful) dessert.
In a medium bowl, combine dry gelatin and boiling water. Add yogurt. Mix well using a wire whisk. Fold in peaches and strawberries. Evenly pour mixture into 4 dessert dishes. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Makes 4 servings. ● Each serving equals: 56 calories, 0g fat, 3g protein, 11g carb., 40mg sodium, 2g fiber; Diabetic Exchanges: 1 Fruit.
