Paul Revere once screamed profusely, "The British are coming! The British are coming!". I wonder what he would have thought had he known that 200 years later, his kinfolk would be yelling the same thing in 1964... but cheering for them!

TIDBITS® EXPLORES

JULY IN HISTORY

by Kathy Wolfe All kinds of events have taken place in July over the years. This week, Tidbits cracks open the history books to examine some of them. • Michael J. Fox was 24 years old when the film “Back to the Future” was released on July 3, 1985. Fox starred as Marty McFly, a teenager who climbed into wacky scientist Doc Brown’s DeLorean DMC-12 sports car and traveled back 30 years in time, only to meet his future parents in high school. The film went on to be the highest-grossing film of the year, grossing over $380 million. Doc Brown’s DeLorean was powered by plutonium capable of achieving the “1.21 gigawatts” power required to travel through time. Did you know that only 9,000 DeLoreans were produced before the company ran out of money? About 6,500 of those are still around today. • In the midst of the Great Depression, in July of 1930, construction of Hoover Dam began. It took the next five years and the labor of 21,000 to complete the structure, with completion two years ahead of schedule and millions of dollars under budget. The dam provided for a huge increase in irrigated farming in the desert, as well as providing water for much of southern California. Today, the dam remains the second highest in the U.S., and the 18th highest in the world, and serves over a million people. Turn the page for more!

VICTORIES FOR VETERANS Bobby Body

“MY VICTORY WAS OVERCOMING A DISABILITY.”

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • History was made in the world of medicine on July 25, 1978, when the world’s first “test tube baby,” Louise Joy Brown was born in Manchester, England. In November of the previous year, Lesley Brown, who had suffered from infertility for many years, underwent an experimental in vitro fertilization. Several years after the birth of Louise, Mr. and Mrs. Brown once again were parents of an IVF baby, Natalie. In 2006, Louise became a mother herself to a son conceived naturally. • George Herman “Babe” Ruth made his Major League Baseball debut on July 11, 1914 as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. After living in an orphanage, St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, since age 7, at 19, Ruth was signed by the Baltimore Orioles, but was quickly sold to the Red Sox over the summer. He was part of three World Series championships during his tenure with the Sox. Just prior to the 1920 season, Sox owner Harry Frazee desired to finance a Broadway musical, and sold Ruth’s contract to the New York Yankees to obtain the money. Ironically, in 10 of the next 12 seasons with the Yankees, Ruth alone hit more home runs than the entire Red Sox team. This gave rise to the phrase “the Curse of the Bambino,” referring to the fact that the Red Sox did not win another World Series for 85 years. • In other baseball news, on July 20, 1976, slugger Hank Aaron hit his record 755th and final home run. The event occurred in Milwaukee County Stadium where Aaron played as a Milwaukee Brewer. California Angels pitcher Dick Drago threw the pitch to the 42-yearold Aaron. Aaron retired from baseball following the 1976 season after 23 years. His record remained in place until 2007 when it was broken by Barry Bonds.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the following sage observation: “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” ● If you head up to the top floor of the U.S. Supreme Court building, you’ll find a basketball court. It’s known, of course, as “the highest court in the land.” ● During the filming of the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” the dog that played Toto was paid $125 per week. In contrast, the actors who played the munchkins were paid $100 per week -- and their manager, Leo Singer, kept half of that. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • Many of us think of the Salvation Army as merely a thrift store, or the bellringers at Christmas. The organization got its start in London in July of 1865 when preacher William Booth and his wife Catherine founded the Christian Mission, attempting to help those living in poverty. With 1,000 volunteers and 42 evangelists, Booth’s team spread out across London, setting up soup kitchens and preaching the Gospel, and became known as the “Hallelujah Army.” In 1878, the group became known as the Salvation Army. Today, there are 7,546 centers in the U.S. alone, along with branches in 75 other countries. • On July 13, 1978, Henry Ford II fired Lee Iacocca as Ford Motor Company’s president, and changed the course of history. Iacocca had been employed by Ford since 1946, and within 14 years he was a vice-president and general manager. He was the designer of the Ford Mustang, an achievement that led to his being named President of Ford. Along the way, his management style contributed to frequent conflict with Henry Ford II, whose intention was to turn the company over to his son Edsel II, who was 28 at the time. Ford’s justification to Iacocca was, “Sometimes you just don’t like somebody.” It proved to be a good thing for Iacocca, who was hired as president of Chrysler the following year. The company was nearly bankrupt, and under Iacocca’s leadership posted record profits of $2.4 billion five years later. He retired from Chrysler in 1992.

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • Aviation history was made in July, 1938, when multi-millionaire Howard Hughes circumnavigated the globe in 91 hours, 14 minutes, and 10 seconds. He departed Long Island, New York, on July 10, with a crew of four aboard his Lockheed Super Electra Special, making his first stop in Paris. It was on to Moscow, Alaska, Minneapolis, and back to Long Island on July 14. The distance was approximately 14,800 miles, with an average speed for the flight of 206.1 mph. • On July 28, 1945, another airplane was in the news when a U.S. B-25 Mitchell military bomber crashed into New York City’s Empire State Building. The plane was flying from Massachusetts to LaGuardia Airport and due to heavy fog, it was re-routed to Newark, New Jersey Airport. As the bomber flew over Manhattan, suddenly the Chrysler Building came into view through the fog and the pilot swerved to miss it, which sent him straight into the side of the Empire State Building at the 79th floor. The jet fuel exploded and filled four floors of the building with flames, killing the three people on the plane and 11 within the building. The fact that it was a Saturday saved the lives of thousands. The engine flew through the building and landed in an apartment across the street. The building sustained an 18’ x 20’-foot hole, and $1 million in damages ($10.5 million in today’s dollars.) • Thirty-fourth U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower became the first president to ride in a helicopter on July 12, 1957. It soon became the new mode of transportation for short Presidential trips, safer and more efficient than the limousine motorcade.

At some point in our lives, we will get an invitation to join AARP, the organization for seniors. This likely will coincide with our 50th birthday, a point many of us don’t want to acknowledge. The AARP mail is ignored, maybe for a week, maybe for 10 years. But at some point we concede: We are seniors. And we need AARP. I’ve been taking a closer look at AARP recently, and have concluded that it’s worth joining.

One of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom is the platypus, found only in one small part of the world. Check out these facts. • The strange-looking platypus has the appearance of a beaver with webbed feet, but with the flat bill of a duck. They measure about 20 inches from head to toe and are covered with thick, dense fur that keeps them warm while underwater. When the platypus was first discovered by Europeans in 1798 by Captain John Hunter, a sketch was made of the unusual animal and sent back to Britain. The scientists there believed it to be a hoax, refusing to believe its existence, stating that it was produced by a taxidermist who had sewn a duck’s beak and feet onto another animal. Even after a live specimen was brought to them, several still doubted its authenticity. • The platypus can only be found in the freshwater areas off the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia and around the island of Tasmania. They dwell in burrows dug into riverbanks that contain chambers connected by tunnels. • Although the semi-aquatic platypus is a mammal, it is an exception to the rule of mammals giving birth to live young. Female platypuses lay eggs instead, one of only two mammals to do so. This characteristic classifies them as monotremes. Female mammals also produce milk, but in the case of the platypus, the milk oozes out of ducts much like sweat glands onto specialized patches of skin, and their babies lap the milk off the skin. • It’s no surprise that with their webbed feet, platypuses are excellent swimmers and are able to stay underwater for up to 140 seconds. They paddle with their front feet and steer with their back feet and large beaverlike tail. Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears, and their noses have a waterproof seal for their underwater hunts. • Navigating across land is tough work for a platypus and requires 30% more energy than swimming. Their webbing retracts when they are on land, and their claws become more prominent. They move clumsily along on their knuckles in order to protect their webbing. • The carnivorous platypuses are bottom feeders, feeding along the muddy bottom of whatever body of water they inhabit. Much of these nocturnal creatures’ time is spent on the hunt, which can last 10 to 12 hours every day. The skin of its flexible, rubbery bill contains thousands of receptors that pick up electrical signals generated by their prey’s muscular contractions. Once the platypus locates its dinner, it scoops up insects, larvae, shellfish, and worms with its large bill and stores them in its cheek pouches for the swim to the surface. It also scrapes up bits of gravel from the bottom to aid in digestion. Since the platypus has no teeth, only grinding plates, the gravel helps mash their food into small pieces. The platypus also has no stomach, just an intestine and esophagus connected together. • The platypus’ secret weapon of defense against predators is a spur on its hind feet. While both males and females have the spur, only the male has a gland that produces a toxic venom that can easily kill a small animal and cause severe pain to humans.

A football coach walked into the locker room before a game, looked over to his star player and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed math, but we need you in there. So what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right, you can play." The player agreed, and the coach looked into his eyes intently and asks, "Okay, now concentrate... what is two plus two?" The player thought for a moment and then he answered, "4?" "Did you say 4?!?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he got it right. At that, all the other players on the team began screaming, "Come on coach, give him another chance!"
