TIDBITS® VISITS SOME

UNUSUAL ISLANDS

by Patricia L. Cook When islands are mentioned, many people think of Hawaii, the Caribbean islands or even Iceland. In this Tidbits, we’ll explore a few unfamiliar islands; some fictional and some that are not even surrounded by water! • Sicily Island, Louisiana is not a tropical island, or surrounded by an ocean, sea or lake. It is surrounded by Deer Creek on the north, Bayou Macon and Tensas River swamp on the east, Bayou Louah and Lake Lovelace on the south and the Ouachita River to the west. • Three exploring brothers, Richard, Thomas and George Lovelace, settled in the area in the 1760’s. They loved the beautiful scenery and lay of the land and named the area for the Mediterranean Island of Sicily. • Popular Catahoula Curs were developed as a canine breed at Sicily Island. The dogs were bred from the Lovelace brothers’ Dalmations and Indian dogs in the area. They were named for Catahoula Parish. • Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most famous military leaders in history, is credited with the Louisiana Purchase. Due to its French heritage, Louisiana has parishes instead of counties. Napoleon was exiled twice: to Elba Island in the Mediterranean and later to St. Helena Island in the southern Atlantic. turn the page for more!

July 23rd is also Vanilla Ice Cream Day. So today you are to forget about your diet and indulge in some Vanilla ice cream. A 2012 survey states vanilla is America's most popular flavor, followed by chocolate and then cookies 'n cream. So Tidbits says "go get a bowl of vanilla right now!"

• Staten Island, a borough of New York City, is home to what was once the world’s largest landfill. Freshkills Landfill was established by the City of New York in 1948. The area was mainly coastal marshland and tidal creeks before it was filled in with garbage. At the peak of use, in 1986-87, the landfill had 680 employees and received up to 29,000 tons of trash per day! • Freshkills Landfill received its last garbage on March 22, 2001 and its transformation into a city park started in 2009. Freshkills Park will be about three times the size of Central Park, with 2,200 acres. As the development of the park continues in phases over the next 30 years, future generations will know Staten Island as a beautiful place to play and relax rather than as a place for trash. • A popular television series that ran for seven seasons on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network was Fantasy Island. From 1978 to 1984, Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban), the handsome, debonair host greeted guests to the island and fulfilled requests for their fantasies. The very popular “little person,” (the acceptable term used by the Little People of America organization), Herve Villechaize, known as “Tattoo” on the show, would rush up the tower of the main cottage to ring the bell when guests arrived. His call, “De plane, De plane!” was heard at the beginning of each show for six seasons. After a salary dispute he left the show and a butler took his place for the final season. • Fantasy Island was not filmed on an island but in various locations in California and Hawaii. The cottage where Tattoo rang the bell is at the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Arcadia, California.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE

PROVIDER

Whether a parent or child, teacher or student, employer or employee, we are created with a purpose to benefit others in reaching their full potential. John Maxwell embraces our role as PROVIDER. Purpose: We approach others with a purpose to help them develop Relational: We are created to love God and people with our head, heart, and hands Objective: We assess strengths and weaknesses objectively and always try to do the right thing. Vulnerable: We remain open, honest, and transparent; Integrity: We are examples of what we teach. Dependable: We are consistent, responsible, and available. Empower: We give power away and facilitate growth in others Resourceful: We use every tool we have to grow people 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Every July 23rd, the hot dog is honored. In 2010, consumers spent more than $1.6 billion on hot dogs in U. S. supermarkets. During a typical summer, Americans will consume a total of 7 billion hot dogs. Adults most popular topping is mustard and among kids, it's ketchup!

• Another place named “Island,” is Island Park, Idaho. Called the “Longest Main Street in America,” the community extends from the Snake River north of Ashton, Idaho, to the Montana border. Island Park is popular for fishing, hunting, water sports and snowmobiling. The average snowfall of 9 feet makes the area a winter wonderland, while famous trout fishing is the biggest draw in warm weather. • Hegura Island, Japan, is known for its female “free divers” (divers who deep sea dive without breathing equipment) known as “Ama.” For years the families involved in the business of Ama have rejoiced over the births of baby girls. Females are the ones who learn to dive somewhat miraculously as much as 82 feet to harvest abalone. Through the years they started using goggles, flippers and wet suits but have never used oxygen tanks. Their “tools” are “visual acuity, lung capacity and hunter instinct.” • Hereditary rights determine who can be a part of the Ama business. Historical records show the claim to dive for abalone was bestowed on “female ancestors by Lord Maeda during the feudal Tokugawa era” in Japan from 1603-1867. An Ama interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning on February 9, 2014, was still diving at age 80! • The fishing region of Thousand Islands, that stretches along the St. Lawrence River region of New York and Canada is where Thousand Island salad dressing was created. Clayton, New York is considered the birthplace of the dressing, home of the Thousand Islands Inn. • The origin of the salad dressing has two stories passed down through history, both involving fishing guides in the region. Read about the salad dressing and the Thousand Islands area at www.visit1000islands.com.

• In the far northern part of Canada there is a chain of islands known as the Arctic Archipelago. There are 94 islands with Ellesmere Island being the farthest north and the tenth largest island in the world. • Ellesmere Island is only 497 miles from the North Pole and 15 miles from Greenland. It is a polar desert with an average annual precipitation of only 2 ¾ inches, making it drier than the Sahara Desert! • On the southern coast of Ellesmere Island, Grise Fiord is the northernmost permanent community in Canada with a hardy but small population of 148. • An island with a population at the other end of the population spectrum is Java, Indonesia. It is the thirteenth largest island in the world and is home to 136 million people. • Known for its millions of peppers instead of people is Avery Island, Louisiana. The island is one of five salt domes that rise out of the marshes of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. This island is only 163 feet above sea level. • The McIlhenny Company and their acres of hot peppers and facilities for producing the famous TABASCO® products occupy most of Avery Island. The family-owned hot sauce company has been at the site since its founding in 1868. • An island not known for hot peppers, but for beautiful flowers, red soil, shorelines, and a famous novel is Prince Edward Island (PEI). Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908 by Lucy Maud Montgomery, is famous all over the world. Thousands of tourists come to the island off the eastern coast of Canada annually to visit Green Gables Heritage Place and Montgomery’s home, both part of PEI National Park.

RAYMOND BURR

Raymond William Stacy Burr was born on May 21, 1917 in the small community of New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. He starred in many films and television shows but is most widely known for the roles of Perry Mason and Ironside in a long television career. • Quite the story-teller, Burr apparently told many untruths about his own personal life. He claimed to have been married three times and that he had a son who died young. By all accounts at least two of the marriages and the son were fabricated relationships. • What is known as truth about Burr is that he could pretend to be a lawyer and a detective and proved that well in two long-running television shows. • One of the earliest appearances that Burr is known for was in Alfred Hitchcock’s film, “Rear Window.” • He is most widely known for his starring role as the heavy-weight burly attorney, Perry Mason, in the show by the same name that was broadcast nine seasons from 1957-66. • The Perry Mason television show was based on the fictional writings of Erle Stanley Gardner, who was a practicing attorney for about 20 years. Gardner created the main character as well as Mason’s secretary, played by Della Street, and the private detective and investigator who made up the main cast of characters for the television series. Gardner wrote the first Perry Mason stories in 1933. The last Perry Mason mystery was published three years after Gardner’s death in 1973. • A year after the original Perry Mason series ended Burr returned to television as Ironside. That series was about a police detective who became confined to a wheelchair in the first episode. It was on the air from 1967-75. • It is sometimes reported (inaccurately) that Perry Mason never lost a case. However, Perry Mason did lose two cases: The Case of the Terrified Typist and The Case of the Deadly Verdict. • Canada honored Raymond Burr, aka Perry Mason, with a postage stamp in 2008. He was one of four Canadians the postal service chose to honor for their achievements in Hollywood. • The U.S. Postal Service also had a Perry Mason stamp. It was part of a series of stamps called “Early TV Memories,” issued on August 11, 2009. • Collectors of Raymond Burr memorabilia seek out the stamps for their collections but also look for vintage copies of TV Guide. He was on the cover 14 times! • Burr starred in numerous reprisals of his role as Perry Mason after the original series ended. There was The New Perry Mason series in 1973; a television movie, Perry Mason Returns in 1985; and more than 25 other Perry Mason appearances for Burr. The movie in the 1985-86 season was the secondhighest rated television movie that year. One of the funniest appearances by Raymond Burr was in a spoof of his Perry Mason role on Airplane II, the Sequel in 1982. • Burr had a great interest in two horticultural beauties: orchids and his favorite wine grape, Cabernet Sauvignon. One of his last ventures was the establishment of the Raymond Burr Vineyards in Sonoma County, California. • Burr died on September 12, 1993 at his home in Sonoma, California after a battle with cancer.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you tend to see it more easily than others, Pisces. Don’t let a crass comment deter you from a prized purchase.

Helping a friend is like pulling teeth, Scorpio. Keep plugging along, and you will get through to them. An art project finally gets off the ground.

November 22– December 21

Numbers matter, Sagittarius. Pay atten-tion to the bottom line and do some budget crunching. You are no-where near your goal. A loved one sends mixed messages.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Senior Snapshot The National Institutes of Health and the National Institute on Aging have compiled an analysis of seniors age 65 and older, based on the 2010 Census. The information gives a clear picture of who we are and what we’re doing in areas of location, health and economics. ● Where we are: As of 2010, more seniors were living in Florida, West Virginia, Maine and Pennsylvania (more than 15 percent of the population) than anywhere else. Eleven states have more than 1 million seniors age 65 and older. When it comes to growth, however, the South and West experienced a higher rate. ● Over 38 percent of us have one or more disabilities. Most common difficulties are walking, climbing stairs and doing errands alone. ● Our computer use is up 31 percent. ● While the percent of seniors in nursing facilities has declined, the percentage in long-term care facilities has risen. ● Women outnumber men (this we know!) and it started at age 35 when the male/female balance shifted. By age 65, there are one hundred women to every eighty-nine men. ● Seniors are the only group to have an increase in voter participation. ● Our workforce levels have risen, up to 22 percent for men and 13 percent for women. (The rate for those ages 25 to 34 fell.) Age 65 and older is the only group not to have a decline in employment rate. ● While the rate of home ownership fell for those under age 65, seniors stayed the same. Our rate of 81 percent puts us above all the other age groups. To read the whole report, go online to www.census.gov and put this in the search box: 65+ in the United States: 2010. At 192 pages, this document is packed with information. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

• 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.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta

Fixing a Damaged Roof Shingle

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● Those who study such things say that penguins are ticklish. ● On the whole, Texas is a good bit hotter than Ohio, wouldn't you think? You might be surprised to learn, then, that on a per capita basis, Cleveland has 42 times as many swimming pools as Fort Worth. ● The 21 Club is a posh New York restaurant that has been in operation since 1922, though it has undergone some changes since its early days. The eatery's policy prohibiting women from wearing pants to dine didn't change until 1969. That was the year when Laugh-In" actress Judy Carne entered wearing what has been described as a "tunic-topped pants suit." When she was told she wouldn't be allowed to dine, she took off her pants and left them in the coat-check room. The tunic by itself just barely qualified as a micro-mini, but it was enough. The 21 Club changed its policy the next day. ● Smiling is a natural human instinct. Even people who have been blind since birth smile when they're happy. ● Ireland has the distinction of being the first nation in the world that had one woman succeed another woman as head of state, when, in 1997, Mary MacAleese was elected president after Mary Robinson served in that position. ● During World War I, the opposing armies called a truce to celebrate Christmas 1914. During the truce, a group of German soldiers and a group of British soldiers met in the no-man's land between the opposing trenches to play a soccer match. c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Q: While doing a quick visual scan of the roof, I noticed a couple of areas where the asphalt shingles were chipped or even lifted a little. I didn’t find any leaks in the attic. Do I need to completely replace these shingles? -- Don C., via email A: If a shingle is chipped but mostly intact, and the surrounding shingles are OK, you can get away with patching it. The repair may last only a couple of seasons, but it can protect your roof in the short term. To patch a shingle, take a spare shingle of the same material and cut it to the size of the damaged area. Remove any dangling or jutting pieces from the damaged section. Tack the new piece of shingle into place using roofing cement. Shingles that are torn or buckled, missing, or areas with several damaged shingles will benefit more from replacement than patching. Purchase replacement shingles at the home-improvement store, along with repair tools and supplies including roofing cement, tack hammer or roofingnail gun, pry bar and spare roofing nails. Check out the YouTube video titled “Replacing a Damaged Roof Shingle” for a quick-and-dirty primer on replacing shingles. As you can see, the shingles above the damaged area need to be lifted slightly (be careful not to break them) so the roofing nails holding the damaged shingle in place can be removed. Once the nails are removed, loosen and slide the damaged shingle downward and out. Slide the replacement shingle into the same spot. If holding the shingle in place is difficult, put a couple dots of roofing cement on the underside just to hold it in place while you secure it. Work your way back up, putting new roofing nails near the same spots that you removed the old ones from. Re-secure the loosened shingles above with new nails. As always, remember that safety comes first when working up on the roof. Always have a partner helping to steady the ladder, and use a safety line. Move along the roof in a crouch, rather than standing up, which could cause you to lose your balance. If you don’t feel confident in working at that height, contact a professional roofer to handle the repair. The National Roofing Contractors Association can provide advice and guidance in finding a contractor. HOME TIP: Check the weather forecast before starting roofing repairs: The materials need several days of dry, warm weather to cure completely. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

Building A Home??

By JoAnn Derson

● Potato salad will have more flavor if you whisk together all the dressing ingredients and add it to the potatoes when they are warm. The potatoes will absorb the ingredients better, and the flavor will develop even more during refrigeration. ● Dill planted near tomatoes will draw caterpillars away from the fruits. And it’s delicious. ● “I love to grill, and when it’s nice out, we grill every weekend. I always put on extra and use the leftovers through the week. Chicken in salad, a nice flank steak for fajitas, etc. And it means less cooking for me!” -- Y.L. in Maryland

● Here’s a great recipe for an icy treat: Freeze orange juice or apple juice in ice trays. Throw a handful in the blender for a fruit slush that can’t be beat on a hot day.

● On Aug. 1, 1498, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus sets foot on the American mainland for the first time, in present-day Venezuela. Thinking it was an island, he christened it Isla Santa and claimed it for Spain. Columbus, a deeply religious man, decided that Venezuela was the outer regions of the Garden of Eden.

● “A lot of smoke was coming off our grill, and our patio doors were wide open. Long story short: It swamped the living room with smoke. The smell was a little overwhelming. After we closed the door, my neighbor doused a kitchen towel with white vinegar, wrung it out and waved it around the room. It cleared out the smoke smell right away, and the vinegar smell went away just as quickly. What a miracle!” -- F.F. in South Carolina

● On Aug. 2, 1876, “Wild Bill” Hickok, one of the greatest gunfighters of the American West, is murdered in Deadwood, South Dakota. Hickok was playing cards with his back to the saloon door when a young gunslinger named Jack McCall shot him in the back of the head.

Q: If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field? A: One. If he combines all his haystack, they all become one big one!

● On July 29, 1862, Confederate spy Marie Isabella “Belle” Boyd is arrested by Union troops and detained for providing crucial information to the Confederates during the war. It was the first of three arrests. Boyd was just 18 years old.

● On July 31, 1937, Charles Martine, an Apache scout who played an important role in the surrender of Geronimo in 1886, dies on the Mescalero Reservation in New Mexico. After being found, Geronimo agreed to a meeting with Gen. Nelson Miles, during which he gave his unconditional surrender. Martine and Geronimo were exiled, and Martine never did receive his promised reward. ● On July 28, 1945, a United States military plane crashes into the Empire State Building, killing 14 people. Upon impact, the plane’s jet fuel exploded. One engine from the plane went straight through the building and landed in a penthouse apartment across the street. ● On July 30, 1956, two years after pushing to have the phrase “under God” inserted into the pledge of allegiance, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a law officially declaring “In God We Trust” to be the nation’s official motto and be printed on all U.S. paper currency. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Three fishermen were swept off course to a deserted island. They found a magic lantern containing a genie. The genie agreed to grant them each one wish. The first man wished to go home to his family. Poof! – he was gone. The second wanted the same and – poof! – he was gone too. The third man, who was single, said, “I wish my friends were here to fish with me.” Well, – poof! – they were back!
