by Janet Spencer The very first candy bar was manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee in 1912 when a combination of caramel, marshmallow, peanuts, and milk chocolate was cooked in a copper kettle by Howell Campbell at the Standard Candy Co. The result was packaged up and named the Goo Goo Cluster, named for the first words out of the mouth of the inventor’s new baby. Come along with Tidbits as we eat candy! • The story goes that a little old lady in the French town of Montelimar used to make up a treat from honey, sugar, nuts, fruits, and eggs to give to all her friends. The friends would say, “Tu nous gates” which is French for “You spoil us!” From this we get our word (and our filling) called nougat. • “Fudge” used to be nothing but a swear word. It’s said that a Philadelphia candy maker was trying to make a better chewy caramel but goofed it up. Instead he got a crystallized non-chewy substance that wasn’t at all what he was trying to make. “Oh, fudge!” he shouted out, and thus fudge was (supposedly) born. • In Chicago a confectioner was trying to make a better butterscotch by adding more milk to improve the flavor, but he ended up changing the butterscotch so much that it wasn’t recognizable as butterscotch any longer. He had invented milk caramel. (cont’d next page)

* On Aug. 1, 1961, the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas opens. The park was the first to feature a log flume and a 360-degree looping roller coaster. A day at Six Flags cost $2.75 for an adult. * On July 28, 1978, “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” a movie spoof about 1960s college fraternities, starring John Belushi, opens in U.S. theaters. “Animal House” became a box-office hit and part of popculture history. * On July 27, 1981, Adam John Walsh, age 6, is abducted from a mall in Hollywood, Florida, and later found murdered. In the aftermath of the crime, Adam’s father, John Walsh, became a leading victims-rights activist and host of the long-running TV show “America’s Most Wanted.”

• In 1890 a woman in New England was making peanut-flavored taffy. However, she accidentally used baking soda in the recipe instead of the cream of tartar which was called for. Her mistake resulted in the invention of peanut brittle. • In the mid-1920s, something that was “red hot” was new, up-to-date, and popular. A new candy that the manufacturers hoped would be considered up-to-date and popular was called Red Hots for that reason, not because of the flavor, which is cinnamon. • NECCO Wafers get their name from the initials of the company that manufactures them: the New England Confectionery Company. • Dum Dum lollipops got their name from a type of bullet called the dum dum that was used in World War I. They have the same shape. • In 1896 Leo Hirschfield named his new candy product after his six-year-old daughter Clara, who was nicknamed Tootsie: the Tootsie Roll. The Tootsie Roll was the first penny candy that was individually wrapped. • George Smith owned the first suckermanufacturing machine which opened for business in New Haven, Colorado in 1908. Lolly Pop was the name of a popular racehorse of the day, so he named his new confection the lollipop. • Otto Schnering, inventor of the Baby Ruth candy bar, once promoted the product by hiring a chartered airplane to do a massive Baby Ruth candy bar drop over the city of Pittsburgh, PA in 1923. The ploy worked, and sales took off. • M & M’s stand for Frank Mars, founder of Mars Candy, and Bob Murrie, the president of Mars Candy. (cont’d next page) What kind of candy is never on time?

• In Alexandre Dumas’ best selling book “The Three Musketeers,” the three heroes Athos, Porthos, and Aramis pal around together having adventures. In 1932 Frank Mars, maker of the Snickers bar, invented a new candy bar in honor of the novel. The candy bar was actually three bars in one: vanilla nougat, chocolate nougat, and strawberry nougat. By the 1940s the 3 Musketeers bar was all chocolate nougat. • In the 1950s quiz shows were all the rage. One show, an early forerunner of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” was called “The Big Surprise.” Mike Wallace (of “60 Minutes” fame) was the emcee and contestants were asked ten questions to win prizes increasing in value from $100 to $100,000. The show aired for the first time in 1957 and was very popular, inspiring Nestlé to come out with the $100,000 Bar. • At the Williamson Candy Co. in Chicago, a young man named Henry came by every day to watch the young ladies make candy. They would talk and flirt and before long, Henry began helping them out with small tasks and errands whenever he came by. “Oh, Henry, would you please...” “Oh, Henry will you…” When a new nut roll was added to the product line, company owner Mr. Williamson asked his workers what they wanted to name it. “Every day all we hear is, ‘Oh Henry this’ and ‘Oh Henry that’ so why not call it the Oh Henry bar?” and so it was. • James Welch, manufacturer of the Sugar Daddy caramel sucker, went to see the Broadway production of a play called “Junior Miss.” The play was very popular and later became a radio show starring Shirley Temple. James Welch liked the play a lot and couldn’t get the name “Junior Miss” out of his head. A few years later when he came up with a new type of candy, he decided to name it Junior Mints.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* It was ancient Chinese military strategist and philosopher Sun Tzu who made the following sage observation: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” * It’s been reported that putting earmuffs on a homing pigeon will keep it from wandering off. Tiny earmuffs, I imagine. * Have you ever heard of pink turtlehead, creeping Charley, scarlet monkey, lady’s ear drops, painted tongue, false dragonhead or the beefsteak plant? If you’re a horticulturist you may have; they’re all names of flowers. * When the tide changes in San Francisco Bay, fully one-sixth of the water is moved in or out. * If you’re a fan of the classic film “Casablanca,” you know that actors Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet portrayed the characters Renault and Ferrari. You might not be aware, however, that those characters’ names also are the names of two leading European auto manufacturers. * Until 1928, women who wanted to swim at the beach in Atlantic City were required to wear stockings. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The Mountain City Flour Mill in Chattanooga, Tennessee produced a lot of flour- so much so that they set up the Chattanooga Bakery whose purpose was to find new ways to use up excess flour. By 1910 the bakery had a product line of over 200 confections. In 1917 a bakery manager named Earl Mitchell was trying to think up new ideas for better products when he had a chat with some local miners. The miners said they wanted something to put in their lunch pails that was sweet, solid, filling, and big. “How big?” said Mitchell. About that time the moon was rising, so one of the miners held up his hands to frame the full moon and said, “About that big!” Thus, the MoonPie was born. The combination of cookie, marshmallow, and chocolate was so popular that by the 1950s the bakery stopped producing anything else but the MoonPie.

• If you go into a completely dark room, let your eyes adjust, then bite or smash a WintO-Green Life Saver, faint blue sparks can be seen. Why? Did you ever watch a car drag a metal object along pavement? Ever see someone sharpening a knife on a grinding stone? Ever brush your hair or pet the cat on a dry night in the darkness? Sparks. There are always sparks. If you energize an atom with heat or electricity or friction, that atom will give off light. A Wint-O-Green Life Saver is flavored with an oily chemical called methyl salicylate. When you bite on the Life Saver, you fracture sugar crystals and the energy is imparted to the methyl salicylate, which incandesces as a result. It doesn’t happen when you suck on the Life Saver because that does not impart any forceful kind of energy to the candy. It doesn’t happen with other flavors because methyl salicylate fluoresces easily and other flavoring agents don’t.

By DR. Jim coyle Strengthening Your Core (Pt 1)

Identifying your core values will lead to a defined picture of the kind of person you want to be and the kind of life you want to have. The problem is that we can’t get off the hamster wheel of life to get in touch with our core values. Too often we are controlled by external events and circumstances which lead to a roller coaster life of ups and downs. Our behaviors are then manipulated, controlled, and directed by the things that happen to us. Picture our heart as being the center of our core values. The integrity of the heart leads to the skillfulness of the hands. One can’t survive without the other. Without a heart your hands work aimlessly. Without your hands a heart beats without action. Here are some things to learn about and identify your core values. They come from our character, our integrity, and our moral fiber. Some things to help assist in defining our values are to explore:

Private Insurance or Medicare?

--According to a Kaiser newsletter, 10,000 of us reach the age of 65 every day. While that’s when Medicare starts, it might not be the best option for some of us. If we have marketplace coverage, especially if it is accompanied by the subsidies that make the premiums affordable, we might want to keep that. And we can, as long as we also don’t sign up for Medicare -- and as long as we pay full price for our coverage. The option of staying with the marketplace is for those who haven’t paid into Medicare for a full 10 years. The rest of us, if we’re eligible for free Part A coverage, will no longer get subsidies for our marketplace policies. Even if we want to keep our marketplace plans, it comes with a caveat: The later we enroll in Medicare, the more it costs. We get hit with higher premiums that last for twice as long as the delay for Part A and for the rest of our lives for Part B. That can amount to 10 percent for every 12 months delay in signing up. We’re not given this information in advance; it’s up to us to get all the facts about what happens if we don’t enroll in Medicare on time, and more importantly, be sure the subsidies stop. When to get Medicare: You’re eligible during the three months before you turn 65, your birthday month and the following three months. Your best bet: Get expert advice, especially if you contribute to a Health Savings Account and want to continue that or if you have a high income. Go to medicare.gov and look at the drop-down boxes to find help in your state. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Noteworthy Inventors

MILTON HERSHEY

• When Milton Hershey’s mother apprenticed him to a printer in 1871, it didn’t take him long to discover that he hated printing. Instead, he ended up apprenticed to a confectioner, where he spent four years learning the art of making candy. • When his apprenticeship ended, he set up his own candy shop in Philadelphia, but it failed. He moved to Denver where he learned the art of making caramel from a Colorado dairyman. • Next he moved to New York City and tried to open a successful caramel factory, only to fail once again. So he returned to his family home in Pennsylvania and tried one more time to open a successful candy store. • This time, he won a large contract with a European firm, and the money generated by this single order was enough to get him started down the road to success. Soon, the Lancaster Caramel Company was employing over 1,400 people, shipping candy worldwide, and turning Milton Hershey into one of the town’s leading citizens.

• Visiting the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, Milton was fascinated by the exhibit set up by a German chocolate company which demonstrated the latest technology in automated chocolate manufacturing. When the Expo ended, Milton bought the machinery and shipped it back to Pennsylvania, convinced he could add chocolate to his already successful caramel business. It soon became apparent to him that the demand for chocolate outstripped the demand for caramel. • Surrounded by the dairylands of Pennsylvania, he started doing his own experiments with milk chocolate. The production of milk chocolate had long been a closely guarded trade secret held by the Swiss. But through sheer trial and error, Milton Hershey figured out the formula. • By the turn of the century, the business was so successful that he built a new factory near the town of Derry Township, Pennsylvania, where he had been born. He then proceeded to build a town around the factory. The town was later re-named for him: Hershey, Pennsylvania. • The town he built to house his workers was a model community, designed not to exploit people (as other company towns did) but to provide for their welfare. There were schools, lecture halls, an amusement park, gardens, churches, and a trolley system. • In 1900, he sold his caramel company for the princely sum of $1 million (worth $27 million in today’s dollars) and began to focus exclusively on producing chocolate. • Thanks to the Hershey bar (invented in 1900) and the Hershey Kiss (invented in 1907), chocolate went from being a treat reserved for the rich to a delight everyone could afford. • In 1912, Milton Hershey and his wife had tickets to travel on the Titanic. They canceled their reservations at the last minute due to business matters which required Hershey’s attention. The check he wrote to reserve a first-class stateroom on the Titanic is in the archives of The Hershey museum. • Hershey supplied soldiers with chocolate bars during World War II. The chocolate was formulated to taste a little bad to prevent troops from getting cravings for them, and it had to withstand high temperatures without melting. In 1939, the Hershey plant was capable of producing 100,000 ration bars a day. By the end of the war, the entire Hershey plant was producing ration bars at a rate of 24 million a week. • The company Milton Hershey set up continued to flourish even after his death in 1945 at the age of 88. Today Milton Hershey’s firm is the largest chocolate company in North America.

STEAMBOATS (continued): • In 1802, at the urging of Robert Livingston, U.S. minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that Please order bythe August 15th successfully plied Hudson River in New For questions or to order York. The Clermont’s first by significant trip phone contact 319-626-8286 was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.

3rd Quarter 2012 Week 34 August 19 -25 Page 8

• 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. • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

CHOCOLATE: QUIZ

• Henri was born in 1814 in Germany. His last name was a German word meaning ‘a small bird nest.’ As a young man he moved to Switzerland where he worked in a pharmacy doing chemical experiments. • He became preoccupied with the high infant mortality rate. When new mothers were unable to nurse, their babies often died. What the world needed was an emergency substitute for mother’s milk. • After much experimentation, Henri developed a mixture of cow’s milk, flour, sugar, and malt that could be sold in powdered form and reconstituted with the addition of water. By 1867 his baby formula was marketed worldwide. • Next door to Henri’s baby formula factory, Daniel Peter owned a candle factory. The use of oil lamps was making candles obsolete, and Daniel knew he had to diversify, so he decided to go into the chocolate business. He needed a way to make his product stand out. • Being next door to Henri’s factory caused him to wonder if there wasn’t a way to combine milk with chocolate. After eight years, he figured out the formula for milk chocolate, and formed it into the world’s first chocolate bars. • The result was so successful that Henri’s baby formula company bought out Daniel’s milk chocolate company. In 1874 Henri sold his company for a million francs and retired, but the firm he founded went on to become the world’s largest food and beverage company, employing a quarter million people and buying ten percent of the world’s cocoa beans. The firm is named after Henri’s last name. What is it? Answer: Nestlé.

FACT

• In Hershey, Pennsylvania, the streetlights along “Chocolate Avenue” are in the shape of Hershey Kisses.

Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES

• Dark chocolate is healthier than white chocolate or milk chocolate because it’s less processed, meaning it has more antioxidant flavonoids in it, as well as less sugar and fat. • Chocolate contains caffeine, but you’d have to eat 14 chocolate bars to equal the amount of caffeine in a single cup of coffee.

but I’m never alone. I have Life Alert.®

• White chocolate is white because it has cocoa butter but no cocoa solids. • The average American eats about 12 lbs. of chocolate annually. • Add a tablespoon of espresso powder to chocolate baked goods to spike up the chocolatey flavor.

• Baking chocolate is bitter because it has no sugar added.

• About 75% of people eat the ears off of a chocolate Easter bunny first. • Chocolate contains cocoa and cocoa contains the compound theobromine. Theobromine is toxic to dogs and other pets at certain doses. The most dangerous kinds are dark chocolate, cocoa bean garden mulch, and unsweetened baking chocolate. • American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk annually, surpassed only by the cheese and ice cream industries. • Chocolate syrup was used as fake blood in the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “Psycho.” The film was in black and white. • German chocolate cake did not originate in Germany. In 1852, Sam German developed a sweet baking bar for Baker’s Chocolate Co. The product was named in honor of him: Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate. • Hawaii is the only U.S. state that grows cacao beans commercially to produce chocolate.
