Are You Willing To Serve? By Tresa Erickson Early in the morning, late at night, when a fire breaks out of control, you can count on your local fire department to be there. While some departments consist of paid employees, others are a mix of paid employees and volunteers. There are about 800,000 volunteer firefighters in the United States, accounting for more than half the total of firefighters, and you could be one of them. That’s right. There may be an opportunity to serve as a volunteer firefighter in your area. While some fire departments do not permit volunteer firefighters, others do. Some, in fact, depend heavily upon volunteers due to budget constraints. To find out if such an opportunity exists in your area, call your local fire department. The staff there should be able to let you know where the nearest opportunity is and how you can go about applying for it.

There are several steps to becoming a volunteer firefighter. First, you must decide whether you are willing to commit to the endeavor. It is not one to be taken lightly. You will have to undertake several hours of training, and should you complete the process and become a volunteer firefighter, you may have to put your life on the line. To ensure you are serious, your local fire department may suggest you ride along on one of their calls. This will give you a good feel for what you might be in for.

The willingness to commit is not enough. You must also qualify. Criteria vary by fire department. You may need to be a certain age and pass some physical tests. You may need to be certified in CPR and basic first aid. On top of this, you will also have to do some training. Again, this will vary by department. All firefighters, however, must complete a 110-hour National Fire Protection Association-certified course.

Volunteer firefighters do not get paid, and depending upon where they serve, they may have to work more than a couple of shifts per month. They do get experience, however, which could lead to a full-time paid position in the field later down the road. Serving as a volunteer firefighter is by no means an easy job. You must be ready to serve at a moment’s notice and willing to risk everything to ensure the safety of others. Apply only if you are seriously interested and be prepared to put in the time.

Hawkeye Publishing, L.L.C. www.tidbitpapers.com For Advertising E-mail: russ@tidbitpapers.com or Call (319) 360-3936 FLASHBACK By Mick Harper 1. Which female is mentioned in the first verse of “Crocodile Rock”? 2. What did John “Jay” Traynor and David Blatt have in common? 3. Who released “Ramblin’ Rose” in 1962? 4. Name the two female artists who recorded “It’s a Heartache” in 1977. 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Did you find the directing sign on the straight and narrow highway? Would you mind a reflecting sign, Just let it shine within your mind, And show you the colors that are real.”

Golf Program Q: My Uncle Herbert was a golfer, and he recently gave me a PGA program from 1946 signed by Ben Hogan. The event was at the Portland Golf Club in Oregon. Although I have no plans to sell it, do you have any idea of how much it might be worth? -- Jimmy, Lakewood, Colo. A: I contacted several golf collectors, and they seem to agree that your signed PGA program could be worth as much as $1,500. *** Q: I have a copy of Life magazine dated March 1, 1937. I read a recent question in your column from a reader who had a copy of Time magazine from 1951, which you claimed was worth about $15. If his is worth $15, what is the value of the Life that I have? -- Florence, South Daytona Beach, Fla. A: The first issue of Henry Luce’s Life appeared Nov. 23, 1936. Most issues from 1937 currently sell in the $15-$25 range, depending on condition and content. Keep in mind that this magazine had a press run each week in the millions. As I have often written in this column, there are always exceptions to every rule, especially when it comes to antiques and collectibles. *** Q: I have a Cola-Cola bench with iron arms, legs and frame. I would like to know its value. -- Dorothy, Coventry, R.I. A: With the scant information you sent, your question is impossible for me to answer. I have no way of determining the age or rarity of your bench. Coca-Cola items are, indeed, collectible, but most of the items I’ve seen have been reproductions. You might contact the Coca-Cola Collectors Club, PMB 609, 4780 Ashford-Dunwoody St. A, Atlanta, GA 30338; www. cocacolaclub.org. *** Q: I have 19 Edison Diamond Discs, which I would like to sell. How do I go about doing this? -- Mary, Deltona, Fla. A: Edison Diamond Discs are a little difficult to sell since they

How much does it cost? It’s free. What do I need to get a card. Bring an I.D. with your current name and address or an official ID with a current bill with your name and address on it. Do I have to live in Center Point? No, the Center Point Library contracts with Urbana, Walker and Linn County as well as participating in open access.

Answers 1. “Me and Susie had so much fun ...” Elton John was sued in 1974 for allegedly lifting the chords from another song, “Speedy Gonzales.” (Consider that most songs of that era only used three chords.) 2. Both were lead singers for Jay & The Americans. Blatt, however, had to first change his name to Jay Black. Another lead singer, John “Jay” Reincke, took his place. 3. Nat King Cole. 4. Bonnie Tyler and then Juice Newton. 5. “Spinning Wheel,” by Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1969. The nonsense lyrics typify the psychedelic music of that era. The song climbed the Hot 100, easy listening and R&B charts and, amazingly enough, it got three Grammy nominations and won Best Instrumental. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

can only be played on an Edison machine. Most of the Edison records I’ve seen at shops and in malls are priced in the $5$10 range. I suggest you contact antiques shops in your area to see if there is any interest. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@ aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

THE KITCHEN DIVA By Angela Shelf Medearis and Gina Harlow A Favorite Sister

City of

Among all the fruits and vegetables that are abundant in summer, there is a group of gourds literally named after the season. Summer squash is a colorful family of yellow, patty pan, scalloped and zucchini squash that flower prolifically and fruit throughout the warm months. This particular clan got its name due to its short shelf life, which differs from the hard-skinned, long-lasting winter squashes such as butternut or acorn. In essence, all summer squash are really just a hard-rind squash that is picked in its immature state Squash gets its name from an Indian word, “askutasquash,” meaning raw or uncooked. It’s believed that Native Americans were growing varieties of squash as one of their “Three Sisters” crops: a combination of corn, beans and squash grown together in a mound. This was to take advantage of their symbiotic relationship. The corn provided a structure on which the beans could grow, the beans nourished the soil with nitrogen, and the squash plant provided shade for the planting bed. These indigenous people then introduced the plant to the early European settlers. But while squash as a group has its roots firmly in the Americas, zucchini, as August 28, 2014 4:30-6:30 PM we know it now, was developed as a variety by the Italians, who eat it in AtAugust Sherbon’s Flower Market 28, 2014 4:30-6:30 PM countless preparations. In much of the country, most types of At Sherbon’s Flower Market summer squash are relatively easy to establish in the home garden. Often, home gardeners find themselves overwhelmed with a continuous supply of the crop. Hence, the numerous recipes for squash this and zucchini that. And while most of us are familiar with crook-neck squash or zucchini, summer is the time to try the lesser-known varieties that are available as well. Because the fruit of the summer squash grows fast once it starts, a common mistake of many growers, homegrown and commercially, is picking them too late. In their young state, still relatively small, the flesh and skin are tender, and the seeds undeveloped, yielding the most delicious fruit. So, when growing your own squash, check your plants daily once flowering begins, and harvest the fruit early. When buying them at the store, choose the smallest specimens with well-colored skin. Because summer squash has such a mild flavor, it lends itself to many dishes, both savory and sweet. And while summer squash most often is eaten cooked, fresh tender squash is delicious in many raw preparations as well. For an unusual way to prepare squash, try my recipe for Summer Squash with Sweet Corn and Orzo Pasta. Try using different types of summer squash. It’s delicious hot or cold!

BOOKS Recommended Reading “Hitchcock’s Partner in Suspense: The Life of Screenwriter Charles Bennett” edited by John Charles Bennett

(University Press of Kentucky, $40)

Reviewed by Larry Cox

In 1928, British actor Charles Bennett’s play “Blackmail,” starring Tallulah Bankhead, opened in London to critical acclaim. The following year, Bennett collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock in the film version of his play. The movie is credited as being the first British sound film ever produced, and the first film project that involved both Hitchcock and Bennett. They eventually would make six British motion pictures together, including four major classics: “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1934), “The 39 Steps” (1935), “Secret Agent” (1936) and Sabotage” (1936). Bennett’s British film work brought him to the attention of Hollywood. His first American project was “The Adventures of Marco Polo” released in 1938, and about three dozen additional film projects followed. Bennett had a colorful career that spanned the history of cinema from the Silent Era to the 1990s. He was an extraordinary man who excelled as an actor, director, playwright, film and television writer, and as a novelist. During the 1980s, Bennett began compiling what eventually would become his autobiography. Although he died before it was completed, his son, John Charles Bennett, edited it for publication. The result is a fascinating behind-the-screens look at the man who helped develop Hitchcock’s signature style, and in a very real sense, advance modern cinema. When Bennett and Hitchcock began their collaboration, they agreed from the start that the fundamental thing was to get the story line first, to know the ending before the beginning and then construct the story in a suspenseful, meaningful way. Their method obviously worked, since they produced some of the most memorable stories ever filmed. With an introduction by Bennett’s son, this is an intimate narrative by a most remarkable figure, a man who helped define 20th-century entertainment. Bennett died in Los Angeles in 1995. He was 95 years old. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

HOLLYWOOD By Tony Rizzo PHOTO: Arnold Schwarzenegger HOLLYWOOD -- When Arnold Schwarzenegger said “I’ll be back” in the first “Terminator” movie, he wasn’t kidding. He’ll be back as the Terminator in the fifth movie in the series. The first “Terminator” (1984) cost $6.4 million and grossed $78 million. In 1991, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” cost $100 million and earned $519 million, while 2003’s “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” was made for $200 million and took in $433 million. Even though Schwarzenegger wasn’t in 2009’s “Terminator: Salvation” (he was still the governor of California), Christian Bale and “Avatar’s” Sam Worthington took the $200 million production to $371 million at the box office. Why would Arnold want to do another “Terminator” film? This year’s “Sabotage” cost $35 million but only mustered $18 million from ticket buyers. His latest film, “Maggie,” with Abigail Breslin, out in November, may miss its mark. You can bet the $200 million-plus “Terminator: Genisys,” with “Dr. Who’s” Matt Smith and J.K. Simmons, will propel him right back to the top. It’s set for release July 1, 2015. Meanwhile, “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which cost $170 million to make, earned $184 million in its first week. Yes, there is a sequel planned for July 2017. *** Dr. Noah Drake meets “The Iron Lady.” Rick Springfield, who soared to stardom on the daytime soap “General Hospital” and with the hit song “Jessie’s Girl,” starts shooting “Ricki and the Flash” in October opposite Meryl Streep. Streep is Ricki, who chased her dreams at the price of her family and is given one last chance to make things right. Rick plays one of her band members, who has a crush on her. Rick’s been touring the country doing concerts and guested last season on “Hot in Cleveland.” “Ricki” will be released in June. *** Since 1988, A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters” has toured the world with various name actors and actresses. Now the show is getting a splashy Broadway production with BIG NAME stars. Among those signed are Carol Burnett, Brian Dennehy, Mia Farrow, Alan Alda, Candice Bergen, Stacy Keach, Diana Rigg, Anjelica Huston and Martin Sheen. “Love Letters” is the story of a lifelong correspondence between a man and a woman who may or may not be the love of each other’s life. The two-actor cast needs hardly any rehearsal time, thus big name stars can rotate in and out of the show at will. Most of these stars will play one or two months each, so if you’re planning a trip to New York, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime show to catch. Since most people today don’t read books or write letters anymore, this certainly is a NOVEL idea for a show. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

If your young kids and grandkids like blowing bubbles, they’ll love this activity. When the colored bubbles dry on construction paper, they will become the eye-catching background for one-of-a-kind artwork. Here’s the stuff you’ll need: ¥ Pie pan or wide-mouth cup ¥ Liquid poster paint ¥ Liquid dishwashing detergent and water, or commercial bubble blowing solution ¥ Markers or crayons ¥ White or light-colored construction paper or cardstock ¥ Drinking straws ¥ Paper to cover worktable

ANSWERS

Here’s the fun: 1. Cover your work surface with newspaper or butcher paper. In the pie pan or cup, stir together 1 cup water,

two to three tablespoons paint, and one tablespoon detergent. Or, add paint to the bubble-blowing solution. 2. Place a straw in the mixture and blow into the straw to create colored bubbles billowing over the edge of the container. Remove the straw. 3. Fold a piece of construction paper in half to form a card, or use the front of the card on top of the bubbles and hold it in place until several colored bubbles have popped and transferred their shapes onto the

paper. Continue the process with different colors, if you wish. Set aside to dry. (If the bubble prints are not as dark as you’d like, add more paint to the mixture and blow again.) 4. Use markers to add drawings to the dried bubble prints, such as a jet flying through the bubble “clouds” for a “Bon Voyage” card. Write a message inside the card and sign it. Tuck into an envelope for a unique greeting or summer thank-you note to a friend or relative. Note: Remind children to be careful not to suck on the straw when blowing the bubble solution. If you clip two holes about halfway down the straw, children will be less able to suck in the bubbles. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
