TIDBITS® PRESENTS AN by Kathy Wolfe Originally named Sextilis from the Latin Dictionary, August was the sixth month in the old ten-month Roman calendar when March was the first month of the year. Around 700 BC, August became the eighth month when January and February were added before March. Let’s look at several events that occur this month. • August 1 has been set aside as World Lung Cancer Day, a day to “celebrate, commemorate, and support” all those affected by lung cancer. While smoking is one of the main causes of this killer, about 14% of cases of lung cancer occur in nonsmokers. Non-smokers can be diagnosed as a result of carcinogens found at their workplace, in the environment, or in air pollution. Lung cancer is the leading cause of all cancer deaths, more deaths than from colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined, accounting for more than one-fourth of cancer deaths. Two out of three of those diagnosed are 65 or older, while those younger than 45 account for just 2% of all cases. A man has about a 1 in 13 chance of developing lung cancer, while a woman’s chance is about 1 in 16. The American Cancer Society estimates that close to 160,000 Americans will die from lung cancer this year. turn the page for more!

• On August 7, 1782, in the midst of the American Revolutionary War, General George Washington, Commander-inChief of the Continental Army, originated the Badge of Military Merit, a piece of purple silk shaped like a heart and edged with a narrow silver binding. The word “Merit” was stitched across the badge in silver thread. It was Washington’s intention for the badge to be given to soldiers who had demonstrated any “singularly meritorious action.” Awardees were allowed to pass guard posts without question. Only three soldiers received the silk purple heart during that war, and for the next 145 years, its significance was pretty much overlooked. In 1927, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Charles Summerall attempted to renew its existence, submitting a draft bill to Congress. It was unsuccessful. Five years later, his successor, General Douglas MacArthur renewed the quest, and on the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birthday, February 22, 1932, the War Department created the “Order of the Purple Heart.” • The current award is still a purple heart-shaped medal, with Washington’s likeness and coat of arms in the center. It is bestowed upon those members of the U.S. Armed Forces who have been killed or wounded in action, as well as to those who have experienced maltreatment as prisoners of war. • August 1 is National Spumoni Day, set aside to honor an Italian confection. With origins in Naples, Italy, and brought to North America in the late 19th century, spumoni is a molded ice cream consisting of different flavors of ice cream layered with candied fruits and nuts. Traditionally, its layers are pink (cherry), green (pistachio), and brown (chocolate). When spumoni is served, it is always sliced, never scooped like regular ice cream.

KEVIN’S A-1 VACUUM

(cont'd):

• The U.S. Armed Forces owe many of their World War II victories to the Navajo Code Talkers, a group of Native Americans who devised a method of sending secret information along battle lines without the Japanese military understanding its meaning. Although the enemy troops could hear the messages they intercepted, the code in the Navajo language, which was spoken only in the American southwest, could not be broken. It remains the only spoken military code that was never cracked. Because the code talkers were not allowed to ever discuss their war efforts, it was many years before the world knew of their role in the Allied victory. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed August 14 National Navajo Code Talkers Day in honor of their service. The last surviving member of the original 29 code talkers passed away in June, 2014. • We observe Watermelon Day on August 3, honoring the most-consumed melon in the U.S. (cantaloupe and honeydew rank #2 and #3, respectively.) With its origins in southern Africa, where it still grows wild today, the watermelon is relatives with the cucumber, pumpkin, and squash. Because watermelon is 92% water, there are only 46 calories in one cup. The early explorers used them as canteens. In just one month, a vine can spread 6 to 8 feet, and within two months, that vine can produce its first watermelon, which will be ready to harvest one more month after that. There are more than 300 different varieties of watermelon grown around the world. Florida and Texas lead the United States in production. The world’s heaviest watermelon was grown in Arkansas in 2005, with a weight of 268.8 lbs.

* On Aug. 19, 1960, in the Soviet Union, downed U.S. reconnaissance aircraft pilot Francis Gary Powers is sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for espionage. Eighteen months later, the Soviets agreed to exchange him for a KGB spy. * On Aug. 17, 1978, the Double Eagle II completes the first trans-Atlantic balloon flight when it lands near Paris, six days after lifting off from Presque Isle, Maine. The helium-filled balloon covered 3,233 miles. * On Aug. 20, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez shoot their parents to death in family’s California home. Although the brothers were not immediately suspected, Erik confessed his involvement to his psychotherapist, who taped the sessions to impress his mistress, who ended up going to the police. Lyle, 22, and Erik, 19, were arrested. * On Aug. 21, 1991, just three days after it began, a coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev collapses. The Soviet Union would soon cease to exist as a nation and as a Cold War threat to the United States. Gorbachev resigned as leader of the Soviet Union in December 1991.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* If you’re like the average 75-year-old American man, you’ve spent a total of 37.5 days in the act of shaving. * Actors Kevin Spacey and Val Kilmer were classmates in high school. * In a 2014 survey conducted by Nutrisystem, 32 percent of respondents said that they hadn’t worn a bathing suit in public in the past five years, 20 percent said it had been 10 or more years, and 5 percent said they had never worn a swimsuit in public. * The vast nation of Canada got its name from the Iroquois word “Kanata,” which means “village.” * In ancient Egypt, there was a ban on the export of cats, which, by the law of supply and demand, increased the value of the pets in the rest of the known world. This situation was an irresistible invitation to smugglers, of course; once Phoenician sailors managed to surreptitiously bring some felines to buyers around the Mediterranean, breeders took over and ruined the business. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

(cont'd): • National Scrabble Week is celebrated every August, and Scrabble tournaments are held around the world. This board game was the brainstorm of Alfred Mosher Butts, an unemployed New York City architect who combined dice and card games with letter games to create his new invention. His idea was rejected by the Patent Office twice, and he had difficulty finding a corporate sponsor for the game he called Lexico. He tried a name change to Criss-Cross Words with no better results. Butts was finally contacted by a New York investor named James Brunot, who added a new color scheme to the board as well as the 50-point bonus for using all seven tiles in one word. In the early 1950s, Brunot and a team of friends began manufacturing 12 games an hour in an old schoolhouse, hand-stamping the letters onto tiles made of Vermont maple. When the chairman of Macy’s discovered the game, he began stocking it at his department stores, and the game really took off. By 1954, 2,000 sets were being manufactured every week, and sales skyrocketed to nearly 4 million sets that year. Today, the game has been translated into 22 languages. • On August 6, 1945, the world’s first atom bomb was dropped by an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, piloted by Lt. Col. Paul W. Tibbets. The target was the Japanese city of Hiroshima, which before the bombing, had 90,000 buildings. After the bombing, only 28,000 structures remained. Its blast was equal to 12,000 to 15,000 tons of dynamite and destroyed five square miles of the city. Three days later, the city of Nagasaki was bombed. Less than a week later, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied forces. These two bombings are the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare history.

A semi truck carrying over 500 boxes of the game Scrabble crashed into a light pole in Manchester. Police are not saying anything about the accident, but everyone is waiting to hear what the WORD on the street is.

* Christmas lights aren’t just for Christmas these days. I see them hanging along the eaves of back porches and decorating the landscape to light up garden parties at dusk. Here’s a great idea for a hanging lantern, using lights I picked up at my local thrift shop: I basically piled strings of lights in the sections of a three-tier wire hanging basket, connected them together and plugged them in. They look magical. Ð JoAnn

* When your bananas hit your desired level of ripeness, put them in the refrigerator. The skin will darken, but the inside will remain white, allowing you to wait a day or two to eat it.

Relationships take work, Virgo. If you aren’t up to the task, now is the time to say so. Don’t lead your-self on or others. A colleague decides to rock the boat.

How To Grow Strawberries

Farmer Evans was driving his John Deere tractor along the road with a trailer load of fertilizer. Tim a little boy of eight was playing in his yard when he saw the farmer and asked, 'What have you got in your trailer?' 'Manure,' Farmer Evans replied. 'What are you going to do with it?' asked Tim. 'Put it on my strawberries,' answered the farmer. Tim replied, 'You ought to come and eat with us, we put ice-cream on our strawberries.'

Helping Hand

Faith and trust Lead to each other

Have you ever noticed that when you have faith in something you put your trust in that something? We believe a chair will hold us so we put our trust in it when we sit down. We believe our car will start so we trust the ignition when we turn the key. We believe in the power of light so we put our trust in the light switch as we flip it on. Faith is a springboard for trust Faith allows us to jump and trust allows us to fly. Faith only comes alive when we trust in what we believe. Apart from each other, faith is dead without works and works are dead without faith. If you are struggling in your relationships, it is usually because there is an absence of one or the other or both. I know that my leap of faith into the arms of Christ has allowed me to trust in Him and His Word. If I am building above a sink hole I must relocate to “Higher Ground”

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Women Have Higher Alzheimer’s Risk

Research reported at the recent Alzheimer’s Association International Conference has some bad news for half of us ... the female half. Researchers concluded that women over age 65 have a greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s than men. There’s more: Women who have mild cognitive impairment will see cognition decline twice as fast as men with mild impairment. In clinical trials in a test that rates from 0 to 70, men declined at a rate of 1.05 points per year. For women it was 2.3 points. One possible reason: biology. Our brains are different. And more women have depression and stress, both of which are factors in Alzheimer’s. The research isn’t completely clear at this point. Other research points to the amount of amyloid in the brains of men versus women. Women have much more, and amyloid is a protein that clogs the brain. One scary bit of research points to surgery and anesthesia and how they affect the brain. Women respond in a different way, but seniors in general are at greater risk for cognitive problems than those who had no surgery. One group of researchers learned that women experience more brain shrinkage after surgery, making simple elective surgeries something to consider. The Alzheimer’s Association website (alz.org) has a section on prevention and risk. Put “Alzheimer’s risk” in the search box and you’ll get a list of articles. Look for the 17-minute video called “Diet and Exercise in Alzheimer’s.” Meanwhile, ask your doctor if the DASH or Mediterranean diets would be appropriate for you. Both emphasize whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and limit the amount of red meat. There’s research that shows diets that are healthy for the heart also are good for the brain.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

SCOTT OLSON

Listed as one of TIME magazine’s Top 100 products of the 20th century, rollerblades were the brainstorm of Minnesotan Scott Olson. And he’s currently hard at work on a new concept, the Skyride. Let’s take a look at his story. • In 1980, Scott Olson was a 19-year-old Junior A pro hockey player trying to figure out an interesting way to train in the summer. After seeing a pair of inline skates in a catalog, he asked his local sporting goods dealer, Bloomington, Minnesota’s Athletic Outfitters, if any were in stock. The few pairs in the store had been sitting there for years with no sales. Olson bought them all, surprising the owner who said, “I’ve had those things for five years and you are the only one that ever bought them.” • Since he didn’t really like the design of the skates, Olson began experimenting with a pair in his parents’ Minneapolis basement, making the wheels softer and able to be attached to hockey skates. He pushed his product to hockey players and coaches directly, offering a money-back guarantee. With a patent in hand, he fashioned a better boot, and at age 23, formed the company known as Rollerblade, the first company to mass-produce inline skates. • Olson, who had no formal business training, hired his friends as employees, one of whom, his best friend and accountant, embezzled funds from him. Although Rollerblades were becoming popular worldwide in 1985, Olson was close to losing his company. He was approached by two investors who would keep the Rollerblade brand alive, along with giving Olson a small percentage in the business. • By 1988, annual sales were close to $10 million, and it was the fastest-growing sport in America. In the 1990s, sales peaked at nearly half a billion dollars annually. • Because the sport was so popular along the sidewalks bordering the Pacific Ocean, Olson says, “A lot of people thought Rollerblades must’ve started in Southern California, but in reality, it started in Minneapolis, Minnesota, hockey capital of the world.” • With enough money to live comfortably, Olson was free to try his hand at a few new inventions on his 45-acre Minnesota farm. He devised the LunarBed, a bed enclosed in a clear plastic globe designed for sleeping under the stars, and Rowbike, a bicycle that is rowed rather than peddled. A giant-outdoor version of ping pong known as Kong Pong was another invention birthed at the farm. One of his more unusual inventions was a plastic penguin lawn ornament that waddles in the wind. • Olson’s biggest dream these days is a fitness device known as Skyride, sit-down, bicycle-style capsules suspended from a 12-foot-tall above ground track. It’s a monorail system, on which the capsules can be pedaled or rowed. Featured on television’s Shark Tank, the invention is intended for tourist attractions, fitness clubs, and sports facilities. His next vision involves designing fitness equipment for those with disabilities. • Olson, known as “Olie the goalie” to his friends, raises donkeys and trumpeter swans in his free time.

Since the city of Cedar Rapids has been told by the State of Iowa to remove two of the speed cameras because they are illegal, why would anyone be paying for getting their license plate photographed by an illegal camera? Could you go to jail for supporting an illegal activity by sending them money? Cedar Rapids wouldn't be the first city to have a mayor arrested and jailed. Public office sure can be risky.

THE PONY EXPRESS

August 30 is the day set aside to celebrate Pony Express Day, honoring the mail service between St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramaneto, California, in the 1860s. Let’s learn more about this short-lived enterprise in America’s history. • The Pony Express Company was the idea of three owners of a freight business, who proposed a faster method of transporting mail between St. Joseph and the California Gold Country, a journey of roughly 1,800 miles. Although critics said it was impossible, William Russell, William Waddell, and Alexander Majors claimed that the mail could be moved across the distance in just 10 days. • The men acquired more than 400 horses for their operation and set up a series of 157 relay stations along the route about 10 to 15 miles apart. This was the distance that a horse could gallop at top speed before tiring. Riders changed to a fresh horse at each relay station. Home stations were also constructed about 90 to 120 miles apart, where the riders were switched out and allowed to rest. • About 120 riders were hired, each weighing less than 125 lbs. A rider rode between 75 and 100 miles, whether day or night, rain or shine, before being switched out. His salary was $100 a month, which compared in its time to 43 cents to a dollar a day for unskilled labor. • The initial postage rate for the Pony Express was $5 per ½ ounce. It was later lowered to $2.50, then dropped to its lowest in July, 1861, of $1. The rider’s pouch could hold 20 lbs. of mail. In addition, his saddle bag contained a water sack, a Bible, a horn to alert the relay station of his arrival in order to have a fresh horse ready, and a revolver. The requirement was to have no more than 165 lbs. on the horse’s back.

Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES

• In April, 1860, the Pony Express made its inaugural run, with a rider leaving St. Joseph at the same time one left Sacramento. The westbound rider made the journey in 10 days, beating the eastbound rider’s arrival in St. Joseph by two days, proving that the route could be covered in 10 days.

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

• At any one time, there were about 80 Pony Express riders along the trail traveling east or west, with an average speed of 10 mph. • In May, 1860, the Paiute Indian War broke out, resulting in an interruption of mail delivery. Several Pony Express stations were attacked by the tribe, with 16 employees killed and 150 horses stolen. The war cost the Company about $75,000 in addition to the loss of life. • During its 18 months of operation, the Pony Express delivered about 35,000 letters between Missouri and California. The owners hoped to obtain a mail delivery contract from the U.S. Government, but it never materialized. When the first transcontinental telegraph line was instituted in October, 1861, the days of the Pony Express were over. During that time, it had grossed $90,000 and lost $200,000. Its assets were later sold to Wells Fargo for $1.5 million. • There have been nine movies made about the company, with the first a silent film in 1925, followed by Frontier Pony Express, starring Roy Rogers in 1939. A popular television series, The Young Riders, ran from 1989-1992, starring Stephen Baldwin and Josh Brolin.
