by Kathy Wolfe “To whom much is given, much will be required.” These words of wisdom were taken to heart by many people who were blessed financially and intellectually. Follow along as Tidbits looks at the contributions of these generous philanthropists.

• Marie Curie, winner of two Nobel Prizes and famous for her radium research, refused to take out a patent for her process of making radium, believing its benefits belonged to the world. She stated that scientific work “must be done for itself, for the beauty of science” and for the “benefit of humanity.”

• Fellow Nobel Prize winner German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen, who discovered X-rays in 1895, also refused to patent his scientific breakthrough, declining any financial gain from his research. Although he did collect Nobel Prize money in 1901 for his achievement, (the very first Nobel Prize in Physics), Roentgen donated all of it to a German university. He died in poverty.

• Similarly, English chemist John Walker, who invented the friction match in 1827, never patented his invention, believing that such an important tool should belong to the public. Walker did make his invention known to the public, and sold books of 50 matches for one shilling each at his Stockton, England pharmacy. …turn the page for more

• The name of Rockefeller is synonymous with wealth, dating back to the 19th century when John D. Rockefeller and his brother founded Standard Oil. John began contributing to the needs of others at age 16 and it became a lifelong habit. After graduating from a Cleveland business school, he went to work in a local shipping firm as a low-level clerk. He diligently saved up to start a produce business, and with the advent of the Civil War, when the demand for his goods skyrocketed, he came out with a small fortune. With the success of Standard Oil, he became America’s first billionaire, retiring at age 58 with $1.5 billion. The University of Chicago was founded with Rockefeller’s $80 million endowment, and New York City’s Rockefeller University was also established with his endowment. His donations to medical research led to the eradication of hookworm and yellow fever.

The Philippines and China were recipients of his money to open medical universities, and America’s Johns Hopkins University received substantial donations as well.

In all, John Rockefeller bestowed close to $550 million of his fortune on churches, medical foundations, universities, and centers for the arts.

• Bill Hewlitt and Dave Packard, founders of the giant computer and electronics company, have donated more than $300 million to Stanford University. Packard funded a children’s hospital with another $40 million and the Monterey, California Aquarium with an additional $40 million.

Their business got its start in 1939 with an initial investment of $538. Working from Packard’s garage, the pair came up with an audio oscillator, a device for testing and synchronizing sound equipment. One of their first customers was Walt Disney, who bought eight of the devices for use in the production of his animated classic Fantasia. Today, Hewlett-Packard has gross sales of about $120 billion annually and has over 330,000 employees.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

Am I a Blessing or a Curse?

In a recent little league baseball game I watched the demise of a team that had an 8 run lead with 2 innings to play in a championship game. The coaches started tearing down the players and challenging them as if they were losing. Old tapes were replayed of previous failings and the moral and attitude of the team sank in quicksand as the game was lost in the bottom of the last inning. I am humbled to say that as a coach of that team I set the table of what was put on our plate. Our words have power to build up or tear down. “Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing.” James 3:10 I realize I may not have had an impact on the results of the game but I do have an impact on the kids. Lesson learned for me as I will purpose in my heart to say a blessing rather than a curse. If I can recapture the moment to instruct again I will teach a different way to communicate. When you talk, don’t say anything bad. But say the good things that people need—whatever will help them grow stronger. Then what you say will be a blessing to those who hear you. Ephesians 4:29

• William K. Kellogg wasn’t just about Corn Flakes! When Kellogg founded the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906, the cereal he had developed was immediately successful. Within ten years, Kellogg had created a foundation to fund charities throughout southern Michigan. He was devoted to improving education and health care, especially for children. He established hospitals in rural areas and organized public health departments, and founded a school that allowed children with disabilities to learn alongside those without disabilities. In the 1940s, he expanded his charity to Latin America. Frequently heard to say, “Dollars do not create character,” Kellogg donated more than $66 million to worthy causes during his lifetime.

• In 1637, 29-year-old John Harvard and his new bride emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony from their native England.

They settled in Charlestown, where John was an assistant pastor at a local church and described as “a godly gentleman and a lover of learning.” The following year, the young preacher was stricken with tuberculosis and died. In an oral will spoken to his wife, Harvard bequeathed half of his fortune to a nearby college founded two years earlier. Upon receiving the rather substantial money that Harvard had inherited from his father, mother, and brother, along with Harvard’s extensive 320-volume scholar’s library, the college was renamed after its first major benefactor. Harvard University remains the oldest institution of higher education in the United States.

American Olympian Picabo Street donated a large sum to her hometown hospital’s emergency center. 
Her town named the center after her: Picabo ICU.

• Oprah Winfrey’s passion is education and she has given away hundreds of millions to educational causes. Born in poverty to a single mother, Winfrey has worked her way up in the media world, becoming a billionaire in the early 2000s. She founded Oprah’s Angel Network in 1998, devoted to charitable causes, an organization that has donated more than $80 million around the world. Sixty schools in 13 countries have been established, along with women’s shelters, youth centers, and scholarships. In 2007, she created the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, a female boarding school in South Africa, a $40 million endeavor to provide education and leadership opportunities for girls in a country where only 14% of the black population graduates from high school.

• Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has joined forces with fellow billionaire Warren Buffet to form a campaign known as The Giving Pledge. Gates, worth about $72 billion, and Buffet at about $64 billion, have publicly pledged to give away at least 50% of their wealth during their lifetime or upon their death. Gates’ foundation that he established with wife Melinda focuses on health and world development and U.S. education. They’ve given about $28 billion to their foundation.

• In 1953, at age 33, New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary became the first to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, along with Tibetan climber Tenzing Norgay, and assisted by several Nepalese Sherpa people. As a token of his gratitude to the Sherpas, Hillary founded the Himalayan Trust, an organization that funded schools, hospitals, and transportation hubs in Nepal.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for reading the Tidbits paper! Call me this week, the first 50 callers will receive a free T Shirt. Russ, 360-3936

Some of you are wondering, how in the world did Charlaine land this guy?? Well, he says, I trapped him! And he’s right; I haven’t been watching rodeos and bull riding on TV for nothing!! I learned how to lasso, hog-tie and wrestle a wild animal to the ground -- Boy, was Gil surprised! -- What fun I had!! He fought me off and resisted as long as he could, but finally gave up, gave in and bought me a diamond ring (if you see him wiping tears, it’s because he still hasn’t gotten over that trip to Siebke & Hoyt on June 11th!)

Gilbert didn’t have a chance when I saw him for the first time April 22nd, which was 2 1/2 years after we had both been widowed. That day I boldly told him, “Gil, I just realized, we are both single -- I could move to Florida and "This love story culminated with a wedding be your girlfriend!” My mother took exception ceremony on July 21, 2013, in the 10:30 a.m. to the comment, and said, “No you can’t, you worship service at Zion Lutheran Church, need to stay here and take care of me!” -- I Hiawatha, Iowa, performed by the Reverend looked at her and said, “I’ll take you with me Dan Krueger." (The following three paragraphs were mom!” Gilbert and those that heard these written by Pastor Meseke for the wedding bulletin.) comments just laughed at the joke I had just Gilbert served Zion as her first full-time played on him. pastor from 1957 – 1969. At that time Guess what! What I was poking fun at, he Charlaine Rosell was a sixteen year old member of the Walther League (youth group). took seriously! Two weeks later, May 9th, he called me and said, would you please interpret Often she and her sister Pam babysat the that comment you made at Zion about us both three children of Gilbert and Marilyn. being single? I said, with embarrassment, After baptizing and confirming Richard, “I was just teasing you, we live too far apart Pastor Meseke performed the marriage ceremony for Richard and Charlaine in 1960. to even think of such a thing.” He said, “Oh, Subsequently, he baptized their four children. so, you feel safe??”. I said ‘YES’ and we both laughed. We continued to talk about families, Marilyn passed away on Ascension Day 1974 etc. and ended the conversation with him of cancer after 23 years of marriage. saying, “well, let’s stay in touch.” It was 10 In December 1985, Gilbert and his second wife Beverly, attended Trinkle’s 25th wedding days later before he called a second time, anniversary and in 2001 they attended Ervin (he tells me now he didn’t want to seem too and Ardele Menken’s 50th anniversary where anxious!) and by that time I had given up ever hearing from him again. I had been thrilled to they briefly visited with the Trinkle’s. receive his call on May 9th and even wrote to Dick Trinkle passed away in October 2010 tell him how he had lifted my spirits. I found from a blood cancer. Some weeks later myself laughing out loud and couldn’t stop Pastor Meseke called Charlaine to express smiling at the realization that I had heard his condolences in five short minutes. In from him -- it surprised me that it meant so December 2010 Beverly passed away after a much. long bout with Alzheimer’s. She and Gilbert From the first call May 9th to June 9th when were married for 35 years and he is blessed he came to Cedar Rapids (all the way from with four step-children.

Fort Wayne, Indiana) just to see me, the calls In April 2013 Pastor Meseke was invited to became more frequent and the letters flowed. help Trinity, Clinton celebrate their 80th When he told me he wanted to talk to my anniversary. While in Iowa, why not visit children without my presence, I knew he had two more former parishes, namely, Zion something up his sleeve! Monday night, June in Hiawatha and St. Paul in Buckeye. On Monday, April 22 at about 1:30 p.m. he briefly 10th, Gil took mom, my brother, Bob, and me to Red Lobster for dinner. He talked privately saw Charlaine and her mother after many with Bob that evening and when we got home, had already left and Charlaine encouraged him to “keep in touch.” (This is what “keep in he proposed. I think I have my brother to touch” led to) A renewed friendship developed thank for that stimulating evening!! And, also my daughter, Marian, who had earlier given in a short time and progressed into mutual love and respect that resulted in a proposal of Gil a glowing report on my qualifications for marriage on June 10th. (do you need to know being a good wife and mother. (I had paid her handsomely to say all the right things!!) the exact time, if so, it was about 8:10 p.m.)

So, here we are beginning a brand new For all practical purposes Charlaine has chapter in our lives!! been a life -long resident of Hiawatha/Cedar And, I have to say, it is very humbling for me Rapids. Went to school here, worked here, to become Mrs. Gilbert Meseke and be a part raised a family here and will continue to live of his life along with Steve, Scott and Lori’s here. For the present, Pastor is employed in mother, Marilyn; as well as Kim, Karen, Scott Ft. Wayne, Indiana and they will commute and Micki’s mom, Beverly. from time to time.

We sincerely thank you, our family and hosts My cup runneth over with love -- I am the of friends for your support and encouragement most privileged of women!! and we do crave your prayers. May the peace Charlaine Nanette Rosell Trinkle Meseke of the Lord rest upon all of us.

● It was beloved “Peanuts” cartoonist Charles Schulz who made the following sage observation: “Life is like a 10-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.” ● If you’re like the average American, you will consume 22 pounds of lettuce this year. ● You might be surprised to learn that some fish can hibernate. During the long, dark winters, the Antarctic cod will burrow under the seabed and stay there for days at a time, cutting its metabolism by two-thirds. ● The name of the state of Wyoming comes from the Algonquian word chwewamink, which translates as “at the big river flat.” ● Even the world’s best high jumper is unable to stay in the air for more than a single second. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: I’ve always wanted my lawn to have those neat cross-hatch patterns like the pros do. How do I mow to get those patterns? -- A Reader, via email A: Mowing in a specific pattern isn’t the only way, nor the best way, to get those neat checkerboard stripes. A healthy lawn and proper mowing technique also are important. Neat patterns, or stripes, are made noticeable by bending the grass blades in one direction on one stripe, and another direction on an opposing stripe.

Here are a few tips: ● Raise your mower blades: Cutting the grass too low to the ground damages the plant, makes it grow unevenly, and leaves it vulnerable to weeds, diseases and pests. It also makes patterns difficult or impossible to create, because the shorter blades don’t bend very far. ● Never cut more than one-third of the grass height: Depending on the type of lawn you have, the ideal height may vary -- Bermuda, for example, has an ideal height of about 1 inch, fescue or blue grass should be 2 to 3 inches tall, while St. Augustine should be mowed to a height of 3.5 to 4 inches. Let your grass grow at least one-third higher than its ideal height before mowing. ● Never cut wet grass: This one’s a nobrainer, but cutting when dew or rain is still heavy on the grass will prevent a clean cut, damage the grass, cause clumping and keep you from seeing that ideal pattern. ● Maintain your mower: Sharp blades are essential for a good cut, along with an engine working efficiently. ● Change direction: Once you get that nice pattern on the lawn, the best way to keep it is to change up the way you mow.

Every other time, mow in a different pattern. ● Ideal pattern: There are a number of striping techniques. Scag, which sells professional mower equipment, has a tutorial with instructions on how to create several patterns (www.scag.com/ lawnstriping.html). You’ll need a roller attachment to bend the grass to achieve that professional look.

There’s something fishy going on around here...

• Largest Selection of Fresh & Marine Fish

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● It’s barbecue time, and here’s a fun, festive idea for your next backyard shindig: For each guest, stuff a mason jar with a clean bandana (for a napkin) and a set of silverware. Write the name on the jar with a silver paint pen made to stick to glassware. Cute, functional and a keepsake!

Here’s more to get your grilling season started.

-- JoAnn ● “Bring a distinctive towel to a pool party so that you will know where your towel is. You can make an extra-large towel by sewing two smaller towels together, too.” -- U.A. in New York ● “For a really fun take on kebabs, use fruit instead of meat. The kids especially love fruit on a stick. If you have some neat cookie cutters, use them to cut watermelon into different shapes.” -M.M. in Michigan ● To keep ants from invading your patio, draw a thick line of chalk (sidewalk chalk works great!) as a boundary. Ants don’t like to cross a chalk line and will leave your patio party alone. ● “Set out wasp attracters at the far reaches of your yard so that the wasps will be busy out there and not attacking your guests.” -- T.C. in South Carolina ● Use a muffin tin on the table to serve condiments.

For larger portions (like lettuce, onion slices, maybe pickle spears), set a cup down in the muffin well.

Senior News Line

by Matilda Charles

Who We Are Have you noticed how many studies involve seniors? Whether it’s medical research, how we handle technology or where we choose to retire, we seniors must be fascinating. Now the U.S. Census has issued a report covering a number of aspects of senior life.

Here are some facts about us: ● In 1990, 22 percent of seniors ages 65-69 worked. Now, in 2012, 32 percent were in the workforce. Even the 70-74 age group saw a significant jump, from 12 percent to 17 percent. ● In 2013, 80 percent of seniors age 65 and older owned their homes. That’s the same as in 2012, so we haven’t lost any ground there.

Pierre Morad Omidyar is the founder and chairman of the eBay auction site. A billionaire at age 31, he has donated more than a billion dollars to hundreds of charitable causes. His net worth is estimated at about $8.5 billion.

“My memory is gone Mildred, so I changed my password to “Incorrect.”

That way when I log in with the wrong password, the computer will tell me “Your password is incorrect.”

● On June 7, 1692, a massive earthquake devastates the infamous town of Port Royal in Jamaica, killing thousands. A large tsunami hit soon after, putting half of Port Royal under 40 feet of water. In the 17th century, Port Royal was known throughout the New World as a headquarters for piracy and smuggling. ● On June 4, 1754, 22-year-old Lt. Colonel George Washington begins construction of a makeshift Fort Necessity, near presentday Pittsburgh. The fort was built to defend his forces from French soldiers enraged by the murder of Ensign Joseph Coulon de Jumonville while in Washington’s custody. ● On June 3, 1800, President John Adams becomes the first acting president to take up residence in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, the White House was not yet finished, so Adams moved into temporary digs at Tunnicliffe’s City Hotel near the also half-finished Capitol building.

2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

● On June 5, 1922, George Carmack, the first person to discover gold along the Klondike River, dies in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1896, near the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike River, Carmack stumbled across a deposit of gold so rich that he needed no pan to see it: Thumb-sized pieces of gold lay scattered about the creek bed. ● On June 2, 1935, Babe Ruth, one of the greatest players in the history of baseball, ends his Major League playing career after 22 seasons, 10 World Series and 714 home runs. The following year, Ruth was one of the first five players inducted into the sport’s hall of fame ● On June 8, 1945, President Harry Truman issues Executive Order 9568, permitting the release of scientific information from previously top-secret World War II documents. Executive Order 9568 was a stepping stone to future transparency-oriented legislation, including the Freedom of Information Act, passed in 1966. ● On June 6, 1971, after more than two decades of weekly productions, “The Ed Sullivan Show” airs for the final time. The show is now remembered most for providing so many iconic moments in the history of televised rock and roll.

● It’s thought that seniors prefer warm weather, but that isn’t necessarily so.

Over 18 percent of people who lived in Florida are age 65 and older ... but that’s quickly followed by Maine at 17 percent. ● Seniors age 65 and older have an average net worth of approximately $170,000. We only keep an average of $800 in a checking account, preferring to put the bulk of our cash in interestbearing accounts. Seniors in the Northeast edged out those in the other regions of the country, but not by much. ● When it comes to marriage, 56 percent of us are, with 25 percent of us widowed and 11 percent divorced. ● Only 61 percent of seniors have a computer in the home, with the Northeast having the most computer ownership. Income plays a part: The higher the income, the more likely a household will have a computer. ● We vote. Whether it’s broken down by income, marital status or region of the country, seniors vote in larger percentages than any other age groups.

January 20– February 18

June 22– July 22

Take control, Cancer.

You’re more of a leader than you think. The exchange of gifts at a special occasion erupts in laughter. A project concludes.

July 23– August 22

Picture it, Aquarius. A home free of chaos and clutter. It can be yours with persistence. A young friend has high hopes. Try not to dash them.

There is so much more to be learned. Look and listen, Pisces. A shopping trip fulfills a need without breaking the bank. Bravo!

All aboard, Aries. Joyous times are ahead. A thought-provoking movie inspires many long, interesting conversa-tions around the dinner table.

So much to do, so little time to do it in.

Organization is the name of the game, Taurus.

Gather the goods, set up a schedule and stick to it.

May 21– June 21 You have so little to lose and so much to gain. Why the hesita-tion, Gemini?

Small mishaps at home make for great chuckles at the office.

Smashing, Scorpio.

All of your hard work pays off in a polished presentation and applause all around.

A recipe exchange inspires a cookoff.

November 22– December 21

Tired of the runaround, Sagittarius? So is your team. It may be time for a protest. The com-petition grows fierce at home. Bow out while you still can.

FAMOUS CANADIANS: HOWIE MANDEL

Toronto-born Howie Mandel has made his mark in several different media, from comedy to cartoons to drama. Take a look at the areas where this famous Canadian has had an influence.

• Surprisingly, the likeable Mandel had few friends as a young person. He had a razorsharp sense of humor in high school and especially enjoyed playing practical jokes, but others failed to see the humor. In fact, he was expelled for impersonating a member of the school board and signing a contract for an addition to the school. After this infamous prank, Mandel never finished high school.

One excellent outcome from these years was meeting his future wife, Terry, to whom he has been married 30 years, with three children.

• Out on his own after his expulsion, Mandel became a carpet salesman and was so successful, he owned his own carpet business.

In his spare time, he did stand-up comedy at a small Toronto comedy club.

• In 1979, Mandel got his big break during a trip to Los Angeles with friends. During amateur night at L.A.’s famous Comedy Store, his pals convinced him to get up on stage. A producer who happened to be in the crowd hired him immediately and before long, Mandel was opening for Diana Ross. In 1982, he landed the role of Dr. Wayne Fiscus on television’s Emmy Award-winning medical drama St. Elsewhere, a six-year-run.

• In 1990, Mandel created the children’s animated series Bobby’s World, an Emmynominated program that ran for 8 years.

The series then went into syndication and now appears in 65 countries six days a week.

Mandel tried his hand at hosting a talk show in 1998, but it was cancelled after just one season.

• Just as Mandel was contemplating quitting show business in 2003, he was offered the job of hosting the game show Deal or No Deal.

At his wife’s urging, he took the job, as well as the Canadian version of the program.

His job was made especially difficult by his struggles with Obsessive Compulsive disorder and mysophobia, an irrational fear of germs.

Mandel did not shake hands with any of the contestants unless he was wearing latex gloves, preferring to do a “fist bump” instead.

He has written about his anxiety disorder in his autobiography, Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me, a New York Times bestseller, in which he says at times that his anxiety is “paralyzing.”

Mandel admits, “Handrails are my enemy. I never go near a handrail.” He also won’t touch money until it’s been washed, and refuses to wear shoes with laces because of his fear of the germs the laces pick up when they touch the ground.

• America’s Got Talent found a new judge in Mandel in 2010, when he replaced David Hasselhof on the popular series. He has received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Competition Host to add to his Deal or No Deal and Bobby’s World nominations. In addition, he does 200 stand-up performances every year throughout the U.S. and Canada.

• Mandel has been honored with a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto.

After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip Click on this starburst on our homepage. was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.

The Ronneburg Restaurant proudly sponsors the Becky and Terry show, hosted almost every month, throughout the year. Great music and great fun!

• 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. • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 Answer Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: arrivals byfor1834.

• The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.
