by Kathy Wolfe Since April 10 is National Sibling Day, Tidbits is taking this opportunity to bring you facts about some famous siblings who’ve made the news over the years. • The Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, were born to a mother who was a personal manager and a father who was a real estate developer/mortgage broker. The two were cast in the ABC sitcom “Full House” at the age of nine months, sharing the role of Michelle Tanner for the entire series’ run from 1987 to 1995. After two more sitcoms, they branched out into producing. The Olsens are authors and businesswomen, with the majority of their time now spent on their luxury fashion design business. Their combined net worth is estimated in the $300 million range. • Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty were born to a psychology professor father and a drama teacher mother. Shirley made her film debut at age 21 in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and went on to fame in Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias. Although as a young man, Warren had been offered ten college football scholarships, he turned them down to study acting after seeing the success of his sister, who was already a Hollywood star.

FAMOUS SIBLINGS (cont'd):

• Country singer Naomi Judd has two famous daughters, Wynonna and Ashley. These sisters are direct descendants of famous Pilgrims Mary and William Brewster, who helped organize the first voyage of the Mayflower. Ashley, born Ashley Ciminella in 1968, has appeared in close to 40 films, but has many other accomplishments, including an MPA from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She is active in humanitarian causes, including prevention of genocide and crimes against women. Sister Wynonna (birth name Christina Ciminella) teamed up with her mother to form a musical duo that had 14 No. 1 hits on the charts. The pair released seven albums before disbanding in 1991. Wynonna’s solo career has led to 20 more singles on the charts. • Professional tennis playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams have faced each other 27 times in Grand Slam finals. Both have been ranked Number One in the world in their career, with Venus topranked for 11 weeks, and Serena for 200 weeks. Currently Serena is No. 1 and Venus is No. 16. Venus is a seven-time Grand Slam title winner in singles, with Serena grabbing 21 titles. Each woman has won four gold medals in the Summer Olympics Games. A Williams sister has won the Wimbledon singles championship in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2015. • The American pop band Hanson, consisting of three brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac have sold more than 16 million records, and have had eight Top 40 albums. When their first album “Middle of Nowhere” was released in 1997, Isaac was 17, Taylor, 14, and Zac, just 12 years old. The album sold 10 million copies worldwide. The young brothers were nominated for three Grammy Awards in 1998. • New Jersey brothers Paul, Joe, and Nicholas Jonas have sold upwards of 17 million records. Formed in 2005, they are the youngest band to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Cont'd next page!

FAMOUS SIBLINGS (cont'd):

• Baby boomers will remember the character of Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show,” a role that Ron Howard played for eight years. The Oklahoma-born Howard appeared in his first movie at 18 months, but had his first credited role at age 4. As a teenager, he began a six-year stint as Richie Cunningham on the popular sitcom “Happy Days.” At age 25, he left the series to focus on a career as a director. His many successful films include Cocoon, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code and Frost/Nixon. Ron Howard has cast his younger brother Clint in 16 of the films he has directed. Clint was also a child star, appearing in the 1960s series “Gentle Ben” as the son of a Florida Everglades game warden who kept a bear as a pet. Ron is worth a little more than his brother -- $140 million to Clint’s $20 million. • There were more sets of siblings competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics than any other. Seven sets of siblings on Team USA competed either as teammates or as rivals, along with Ukraine’s female twins, three sisters from Switzerland, another three sisters from Canada, and two brothers from Norway. Two of the three Canadian sisters took gold and silver in the moguls event. In the men’s double luge event, two Austrian brothers won the silver medal, while two Latvian brothers took the Bronze. Dutch twin brothers won gold and bronze in the men’s 500-meter speedskating race. Over the years, there have been 19 families who have had three or more siblings compete at the Winter Olympics. The record is held by the Spanish Fernandez Ochoa family, who had three brothers and two sisters competing. • The Aurness brothers were born in the 1920s to a businessman and his journalist wife. James was the elder, who had his eyes set on being a World War II fighter pilot, but his height of 6’7” made it impossible. Instead, he served as an Army infantryman in Italy, where his leg was severely injured by machine-gun fire. After the war, James and his brother Peter, also a WWII vet, pursued careers in the entertainment field and both became well-known television actors in very different roles. James, who dropped the “u” in his name, became James Arness, the star of TV’s “Gunsmoke,” a long-running western set in 1870s Kansas. For 20 years from 1955 to 1975, Arness was Marshal Matt Dillon on the series, along with several made-for-TV “Gunsmoke” movies after the regular series ended. His brother changed his name to Peter Graves and became famous in his role of Jim Phelps, the director of the Impossible Missions Force on TV’s “Mission Impossible” from 1967 to 1973 and again from 1988 to 1990. The highly-successful 1980s comedy Airplane! films featured Graves as Captain Clarence Oveur, the pilot of a Boeing 707. • The 1977 Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack album, recorded by siblings, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb sold 15 million copies and was Album of the Year, with five of the songs making it to #1 on the charts. The Gibbs composed half of 1978’s biggest songs, with Barry and Robin once writing three #1 singles in one afternoon. Their sales exceed 220 million records. Of the three, only Barry survives, Maurice having died from intestinal problems in 2003 at 53, and his twin Robin succumbing to cancer in 2012.

You probably didn’t know that April 6 has been designated Charlie the Tuna Day, honoring the “spokesman” for StarKist tuna. There’s nothing fishy about these facts. • The StarKist tuna company got its start in 1910 when an immigrant from Yugoslavia, Martin Bogdanovich, started fishing along the California coast. Business was good and in 1918, Martin and five partners established a tuna business, naming it the French Sardine Company. They retained that name until 1942 when the name of StarKist was introduced. • In the midst of World War II, more than half of StarKist’s production was being used to supply the U.S. Army. In 1952, the company opened a new and expanded tuna cannery on Terminal Island, California. In 1953, they began production of 9 Lives cat food, using tuna by-products. • In 1961, StarKist hired the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency to create a catchy ad campaign. The Agency was already famous for its creation of the Jolly Green Giant in 1935, Tony the Tiger in 1951, and the Marlboro Man in 1954. (The agency would go on to come up with Fruit Loops’ Toucan Sam in 1963, the Pillsbury Doughboy in 1965, and Morris the Cat and the Keebler Elf in 1968.) An employee of the agency, Tom Rogers, created Charlie the Tuna, based on a good friend of his, Henry Nemo, a jazz composer who was a Cotton Club musician and sometimes referred to as the creator of jive. • Charlie was created as a hip, cool beatnik tuna with a beret and trendy shades. • He was animated by the same studio that had created the Pink Panther. Charlie’s goal was to be chosen by Starkist. He believed himself to be so cultured that he had “good taste,” and was the perfect catch for Starkist. Throughout his 85-commercial career, Charlie was always rejected with a note on a fish hook that said, “Sorry, Charlie.” The point of the message was that StarKist wasn’t looking for tuna with good taste, but rather for tuna that tasted good. • The voice of Charlie the Tuna was actor Herschel Bernardi, known for his roles in the television series “Peter Gunn” and “Arnie.” He was also the voice of the Jolly Green Giant. • Charlie himself never said the popular catchphrase “Sorry Charlie,” but at the end of most of the ads, he said, “Tell ‘em Charlie sent ya.” Both of these phrases are considered among the most recognized advertising slogans in history. • In 1963, StarKist was purchased by the H. J. Heinz Company, although a Bogdanovich descendant remained as company president. During these years, a new manufacturing facility was established in American Samoa. StarKist was acquired by Del Monte in 2002, who sold it again just four years later to a South Korean concern, Dongwon Industries. • In the late 1980s, the Charlie ad campaign was retired. He enjoyed a brief comeback in 1999, when StarKist brought him back to introduce their new line of healthier tuna products.

--The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has unveiled a new online mapping tool to show the levels of health in various parts of the country. Medicare beneficiaries are grouped by geographic location, race, health outcomes, sex, age and more. Eighteen health conditions are defined, as well as use of hospitals and emergency rooms, rate of readmissions and mortality rates. The best feature is that the mapping tool can even be broken down into the county level of each state. While the map developers planned to use it to identify areas where there are problems (below-average health because of lack of access to health care, for example), the tool is also a good way for us to compare our own health to those around us and around the country.

About Mental Illness One 1 in 5 Americans, or nearly 60 million people across all racial, ethnic, age, religious and economic groups, face the day-to-day reality of living with a mental health condition. Mental illness affects everyone. Fifty percent of mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75 percent of mental health conditions develop by age 24. Yet fewer than one-third of adults and one-half of children with a mental health condition receive services and treatment in a given year. The result of this public health failure is often tragic: Suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth and young adults ages 15 to 24. Early engagement and support are crucial to improving outcomes and increasing the promise of recovery.

Support

We reach out and respond to those in need through our HelpLine, website, social media channels and through no-cost support groups for families and individuals.

#IAmStigmaFree

Education

We get it. We’ve been there. With the understanding unique to those with lived experience, we provide an array of no-cost education programs.

Awareness

We promote a unified voice on mental illness, aiming to replace ignorance with understanding through NAMIWalks, public presentations, public education and outreach initiatives and more.

Advocacy

About NAMI NAMI Is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an association of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in communities nationwide as part of the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization. NAMI offers help and hope, improves lives, takes a stand and educates families and those living with mental illness. Located in Iowa City, Iowa, NAMI Johnson County is a NAMI State Organization/Affiliate. NAMI Johnson County and local NAMI affiliates in communities throughout the state, work together to raise awareness and provide essential education, advocacy and no-charge support group programs for people living with mental Illness and their loved ones. NAMI Johnson County addresses the mental Illness needs of our community, replaces stigma with understanding and helps thousands of families and individuals each year. NAMI Johnson County is a 501 (C)(3) grassroots mental health organization.

NAMI is the voice of reason, advocating tirelessly at the national, state and local levels, promoting common-sense solutions to solve our nation’s mental health care crisis and ensure research advances. NAMI members and leaders are visible and formidable, taking on and winning tough battles.

NAMIWalks

NAMIWalks’ public, active display of support for people affected by mental health conditions is one important way we are changing how Americans view people with a mental illness. NAMIWalks bring together families, individuals, coworkers and businesses to help raise funds, combat stigma and promote awareness.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* It was 19th-century Russian playwright and short story writer Anton Chekhov who made the following sage observation: “Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.” * If you wanted to erect a building in Colonial times, you’d go to an undertaker; that’s what building contractors were called back then.

Everyone knows what Coca Cola is, but they still market as much as they can.

Do You? we do

* If you suffer from galeophobia you’re certainly not alone; Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film “Jaws” may have popularized the fear of sharks, but it certainly didn’t start it. Logically, though, swinophobia makes more sense -- pigs kill more people every year than sharks do (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
