by Kathy Wolfe I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Since July is National Ice Cream Month, it’s a good time for Tidbits to bring you the “scoop” about this confection and those who peddle it. • We’ve been celebrating National Ice Cream Month since 1984, when President Ronald Reagan proclaimed it as such in Senate Joint Resolution 298, calling upon “the people of the United States to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities.” Reagan’s basis for the proclamation was that “ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food, enjoyed by over 90% of the people,” and is “the perfect dessert and snack food.” • It’s estimated that 98% of American households buy ice cream, over 1.5 billion gallons a year, totaling upwards of $10 billion. About 9% of all the milk produced by dairy farmers in the U.S. goes to the making of ice cream. • The origins of ice cream appear to date back to the second century B.C. Alexander the Great is documented as being a fan of snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar. Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar dispatched runners into the mountains to obtain snow to be infused with fruits and juices. turn the page for more!

Attitude with gratitude leads to Latitude with altitude. A thankful heart gives you the freedom to fly above any circumstance. Here is a paraphrased part of Robinson Crusoe’s journal entry after being shipwrecked on an island for 27 years. Let’s call his lists the Baditude list and the gratitude list. Baditude: “I’m stuck on this island without any hope.” Gratitude: “I wasn’t drowned like the rest of my shipmates.” Baditude: “I’ve got no clothes.” Gratitude: “It’s too hot to wear clothes anyway.” Baditude: “I’ve no way to protect myself from man or beast.” Gratitude: “I’m glad I am shipwrecked here and not Africa where the wild beasts are.” Baditude: “I’ve got nobody to talk to.” Gratitude: “God sent the ship in near enough to the shore that I’ve gotten out so many necessary things that will enable me to supply myself as long as I live.” WOW!!! Our reality is made up of the things we focus on. That’s WISDOM!!!!

• Friends since junior high school on Long Island, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield have an enduring friendship. It was Jerry’s ambition to enter med school, but he couldn’t seem to get accepted into any. Ben was admitted to several colleges, but dropped out of all of them. The pair plunked down $5 to purchase a correspondence course on ice cream making from Penn State University. Between the two of them, they had $8,000 in savings, and with the addition of a $4,000 bank loan, they set out on a new business venture. They leased a vacant gas station in Burlington, Vermont, and opened their ice cream parlor in 1978. An old spool and bobbin mill was their next location, where they first began packing their ice cream in pints. Franchises began in 1981, and can now be found in 26 countries around the world. They achieved recognition in 1983 when Ben and Jerry’s ice cream was used to put together the world’s largest ice cream sundae, one weighing 27,102 lbs.

• The world’s first Dairy Queen opened in Joliet, Illinois in 1940, and within 15 years there were 2,600 locations. Estevan, Saskatchewan became home to the first Canadian store in 1953. Canada is also the site of the world’s business Dairy Queen, in Moncton, New Brunswick. Dairy Queen’s success is the result of developing the first formula for soft-serve ice cream, accomplished by John Fremont McCullough in 1938.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Reuben Mattus was a Polish-born New York businessman who created the Haagen Dazs ice cream formula in 1959. He devised the Danish-sounding name of the product at his kitchen table, reciting nonsensical words aloud until he found a unique and original name he liked. He wanted it to sound Danish as a tribute to Denmark’s admirable treatment of Jews during World War II. • Brothers-in-law Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins each owned ice cream parlors in Glendale, California, and following their service in World War II, made the decision to merge their two businesses. Baskin and Robbins was born in 1945 and has grown to more than 6,700 locations around the world. It was their idea that there should be a different flavor for every day of the month and devised their “31 flavors” slogan from this concept. Since 1945, the company has introduced more than 1,000 assorted flavors. The career of Sean “Diddy” Combs got its start in a Baskin-Robbins commercial when he was just two years old. • Although thousands of creative flavors have been introduced by various vendors over the years, vanilla still takes the prize as the most popular flavor in America, followed closely by chocolate chip mint and cookies-and-cream.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On July 15, 1888, the Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The eruption left an 8,000-foot crater in the earth. In the aftermath, the ash from Bandai dimmed the sun slightly worldwide for months. ● On July 21, 1899, Ernest Miller Hemingway, author of such novels as “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea,” is born in Oak Park, Ill. The influential American literary icon became known for his straightforward prose and use of understatement. ● On July 17, 1920, Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible for the three-point lap-and-shoulder seatbelt, is born. Before 1959, only two-point lap belts were available in automobiles, and for the most part, the only people who regularly buckled up were race-car drivers.

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

If you’ve ever stood in the drugstore and wondered if you should take a dietary supplement, or wondered just what is in some of those supplements, the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements has come up with a database that can help. The database, in conjunction with the National Library of Medicine, allows you to make a quick search online, browse dietary ingredients, browse products, get a list of manufacturers and do an advanced search of 17,000 supplements. I did a quick search for “magnesium” and got 223 results for magnesium in the product name, and 42 results for magnesium as a dietary ingredient. I searched for “Spring Valley,” the manufacturer of a relatively inexpensive line of supplements, and found nothing. I searched for NewChapter vitamins and got a list of 52 of its products, but none of them were the Tiny Tabs multivitamins. At this point it’s hit-or-miss on whether your product is in the database yet, but it’s worth keeping an eye on. It’s even included a My Dietary Supplements app to help keep track of vitamins, supplements and herbal supplements you might be taking. However, the My Dietary Supplements app [myds.nih.gov] might not work on your computer or phone. (It didn’t work on mine.) On a computer, it wants you to use Google Chrome or Apple Safari. The list of iPads, iPhones and other devices isn’t as limited. Instead, use the whole database at www. dsld.nlm.nih.gov/dsld/ and search for your information. If you hold the mouse cursor over the magnifying glass, you’ll even see a popup image of the label. Once you’ve found your information, be sure to ask your doctor if certain supplements are right for you.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

ANNIE OAKLEY

December 22– January 19

Predictions abound, and if you aren’t careful, Capricorn, you could get sucked in. A date with destiny sets the stage for a weekend that dazzles.

January 20– February 18

An old friend’s loopiness is no cause for concern, Aquarius. There is a reason behind it, and it will subside in time. Better options arise at work.

February 19– March 20

Financial endeavors result in more than enough funds for a purchase. Put the extra away for a rainy day, Pisces. Friends drop by with a surprise.

March 21– April 19

Aries can’t be bothered these days, or so it seems. You will have to change your tune fast to stay in the loop and on top of your game.

April 20– May 20

Tortured Taurus. You take the blame for more than you should, and it’s starting to get to you. Admit your mistakes and leave room for others to do the same.

May 21– June 21 Change is hard, Gemini, but you must accept what’s coming. It is for the best. A supervisor makes their decision. Be supportive of their choice.

June 22– July 22

Avenues open once more, and you’d be a fool not to bite, Cancer. An extraspecial occasion calls for extra-special planning. Start with the locale.

July 23– August 22 Lunacy surrounds you. Take it in stride, Leo. The dust will settle soon. Designs of yesteryear inspire a new round of projects. Grab that friend who likes to help.

August 23– September 22 Crazier things have happened. Don’t lose hope yet, Virgo. A purge at home motivates a change in spending habits for the better. Bravo!

September 23– October 22

Pranks at work make for a light week. Enjoy, Libra. Romance heats up, and a date is set. An organization jumps at the chance to implement your idea.

October 23– November 21

Back off, Scorpio. Your instincts are right on. Something is happening in the wings, but it is not for you to know—not yet anyway. A recipe could use some tinkering.

November 22– December 21

Excuses, excuses. You’d made far too many as of late, Sagittarius. Get to the root of your hesitation and get on the bandwagon. A health issue clears up.

Cedar Rapids An Original Iowa Tradition Since 1927

• The birthplace of Phoebe Ann Moses was a tiny cabin in western Ohio in 1860. With a family of seven children to feed, Phoebe Ann was already trapping birds and small animals at the tender age of five. By age seven, she was using an old muzzle-loading gun of her father’s to bag game.

• When Phoebe was six years old, her father was caught in a severe blizzard while driving a team of horses into town. He died shortly afterward of injuries sustained in the brutal weather.

Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 • 319-378-6447

• Due to financial poverty, at age 8 Phoebe was sent to board at the county infirmary, a home for the elderly, orphans, and mentally ill. The superintendent’s wife schooled her and taught her to sew, a skill she used later in life to sew her costumes. The infirmary found a position for her with a local family, tending their infant for 50 cents a week. However, it wasn’t long before it became apparent that there would be no money and the young girl was subjected to grueling labor, and mental and physical abuse. After virtually being held prisoner for nearly two years, she ran away, making her way to a train depot 20 miles away, where a generous man paid for a ticket home.

• Back at home, Phoebe set to work providing for the large family. She began hunting wild game and selling it to restaurants and hotels. By the time she was 15, she had paid off the mortgage on her mother’s house. • A Cincinnati hotel owner who had purchased meat from Phoebe changed her life forever. Jack Frost invited her to participate in a shooting contest where she was pitted against a well-known professional marksman, Frank Butler. In the match, Butler hit 24 out of 25 birds, but she hit them all. Ten months later the pair married when Phoebe Ann was just 16 years old. • The Butlers settled in Cincinnati and began performing, with Annie using her stage name for the first time. Stories differ as to where she derived the name Oakley. Some say it was the name of that kind man who had paid her train fare years before, but a more likely explanation is that she took the name from their neighborhood in Cincinnati. • The couple joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in 1885, and Annie would remain the show’s star attraction for 17 years. Here she met fellow performer, Lakota leader Sitting Bull. The two became friends and the chief nicknamed the 5-ft.-tall Annie “Little Sure Shot.” She could shoot a dime in mid-air from 90 feet! • At age 41, Annie was seriously injured in a train wreck that left her temporarily partially paralyzed. Even after five spinal surgeries, she continued to set records. At 62, she sustained critical injuries in an auto accident, but after a 1 _-year recovery, she was setting records again! But the following year, she was in frail health, and in 1926, Annie died of pernicious anemia. Devastated by grief, her husband of 50 years Frank Butler is said to have stopped eating, and he passed away just 18 days later.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was actor-turned-politico Arnold Schwarzenegger who made the following sage observation: “Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.” ● Southern California has more cars than India has cows. If cows are sacred in India, what does that say about how Californians feel about their automobiles? ● If you’re like an average person, the time you spend blinking in one day adds up to about 30 minutes of shut-eye. ● A New Yorker named Ashrita Furman holds the world record for the most world records: He has set 462 of them and currently holds 160. Among his exploits are the longest yodel (more than 26 hours); the longest distance traveled via acrobatic somersaults (12 miles, 390 yards); jumping up steps on a pogo stick (1,899 steps in 57 minutes, 51 seconds); the fastest time skipping through a marathon (5 hours, 55 minutes, 13 seconds); running the fastest mile with a milk bottle balanced on his head (7 minutes, 47 seconds); creating the largest popcorn sculpture (20 feet, 10 inches tall); underwater hula hooping (2 minutes, 38 seconds); the most candles burning simultaneously on a cake (48,523); the longest rally while playing table tennis with an egg (14 hits); and the fastest time for orange peeling and eating (3 oranges in 1 minute, 9.72 seconds). ● In the Middle Ages, chicken soup wasn’t just comfort food for those suffering from a cold; at the time, it was considered to be an aphrodisiac. ● Scientists at NASA are working on developing a kind of space broom. The device will use a laser to sweep debris out of the way of the International Space Station. *** Thought for the Day: “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.” -- H.G. Wells (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hardware Store Drops the Ball

Q: I get so frustrated going to my local hardware store, because the people there aren’t very helpful. When I need a tool or maybe some replacement parts, I’ll ask a clerk, who just points me toward an aisle, and I have to find it myself. I’ve complained to the manager, but nothing seems to change. What can I do? -- Charlotte in Concord, N.H. A: Well, if you’re really dissatisfied with that particular hardware store, and complaining to the manager didn’t help, your best option is to take your business to another hardware store. You can do one last thing to help them improve their service: Tell the manager why you’re leaving, and, if you feel so inclined, write or email the store’s corporate office (if there is one) explaining the problem. The giant home-improvement stores, like Home Depot and Lowe’s, got big for a number of reasons. One is the availability and choice of supplies that they can carry. But to stay competitive, they emphasize customer service to their employees. It’s normal for an employee, when asked for help by a customer, to take them to the aisle and specific product that the customer is looking for. If the store you’re dissatisfied with is one of these major chain home-improvement stores, definitely communicate the problem to store management and their regional office. Now, I don’t know what repair you’re trying to do, but if it involves replacement parts, bring them to your newly selected hardware store. This will help the employee in that department match the part. If it’s a specific tool you’re looking for, write down the name of the tool or bring in a picture of it. (This is where smartphones are really helpful, because you can search for the tool online, often while in the store ... but I digress.) This will speed up the process considerably. HOME TIP: Disassembling something for repair, like a faucet? Use your smartphone to snap pictures of the item before, and as, you take it apart. That way you have a quick reference guide as you reassemble it. Send your questions or comments to ask@thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
