SALT FACTS
• No animal can survive without salt. Salt is a mineral, not a spice. It’s made of 40% sodium, which is a metal with a positive charge, and 60% chlorine, which is a poisonous gas with a negative charge. Put them together and you have sodium chloride, a mineral the body is unable to manufacture on its own. Without salt, muscles won’t contract, blood won’t circulate, food won’t digest, wounds won’t heal, nerve impulses won’t get through, and the heart won’t beat. Salt regulates fluids, controls blood pressure, and helps the liver clear waste products. Salt is not just a seasoning; it’s a necessity. • The amount of salt needed varies according to a person’s size, age, metabolism, and exertion level. The average human body contains about four ounces of salt. A typical human needs to ingest about 0.1 ounce per day to maintain the proper level. The typical American eats about 0.35 ounces of salt per day, and the excess is excreted by the kidneys. The concentration of salt in the blood generally doesn’t vary beyond one percent. One-third of the sodium we ingest comes from the salt shaker. The rest is already in our food. (cont’d next page)

• Although it is true that people who already have high blood pressure can lower it by limiting their salt intake, the fact is that people who have normal blood pressure are not much affected by salt. Salt, however, can be a deadly poison if too much is taken all at once. A mere 2.3 ounces will make a person seriously sick. About 6.6 ounces will kill an adult human. Salt saturation used to be an acceptable method of suicide in Japan. • In an experiment, people were given massive doses of salt, not only in their food but also intravenously. The effects of too much salt were swollen feet, weight gain, an enlarged heart, and high blood pressure. Too little salt resulted in fatigue, confusion, muscle cramps, poor judgment, and an inability to correctly estimate passage of time. In another study, people with abnormally low sodium levels were shown to have a higher death rate than those with a normal level of salt in their bodies. • Pound for pound, babies have almost twothirds more sodium and twice as much chloride as adults. In 1980, a brand of soy-based baby formula jumped on the “low-salt” bandwagon and began offering a new low sodium formula. Within a few months, 34 cases of chloride deficiency in babies were reported. The babies were losing weight, sluggish, and stunted because they were not getting enough sodium chloride. They recovered after being switched to a different formula, and the baby food company put salt back in its recipes.

• “Wich” was the word indicating a town where salt was produced such as Greenwich, Northwich, and even Sandwich, which was a place before it was a food. • The word “salt” probably comes from the name of the town Es-Salt, which was once a capital city close to the Dead Sea. It is also the origin of words like “salami” and “salad.” The words “war” and “peace” originate from the ancient Arabic words for salt and bread, perhaps because the first wars were fought over these two commodities. • Much of human society has been built around salt, which has often served as the cornerstone of economy. The Roman government used to pay its soldiers in salt, and our word ‘salary’ comes from the Roman word for salt. Any worker who didn’t work hard was “not worth his salt.” • Seas are salty because water dissolves the natural salts in the soils and rocks it flows through on the way to the ocean. Over the eons as water has continually evaporated from the oceans, the salts have been left behind. The concentration builds up year after year. The oceans are 3.5 percent salt. • The Dead Sea, which, at 1,300 feet below sea level is the lowest place on the planet, has plenty of fresh water coming in but not a single place where water can go out. Because the rate of evaporation is so high, all the incoming minerals are left behind. In some spots the Dead Sea is 23% salt which is too salty to support any kind of life. By comparison, the Great Salt Lake in Utah is about 20% salt-- so salty that it never completely freezes over. • About 97% of Earth’s water is in the form of salty seawater. • When evaporated, 150 gallons of seawater will yield 35 lbs. of salt. • There is enough salt in the seas to cover all the continents to a depth of 500 feet • The first patent ever issued in America was for a process to recover salt from sea water.

* On Sept. 26, 1580, English seaman Francis Drake returns to England, becoming the first British navigator to sail around the world. Drake had set out from England on Dec. 13, 1577, with five ships on a mission to raid Spanish holdings on the Pacific coast of the New World. * On Sept. 27, 1869, in Kansas, Ellis County sheriff Wild Bill Hickok responds to a bar brawl and kills one man. Weeks later he killed a second man in the name of law enforcement. While his brutal ways were effective, local citizens were less than impressed. At the next election Hickok was voted out. * On Sept. 23, 1969, the trial for eight anti-war activists charged with the violent demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago. The trial turned into a circus as the defendants used the court to attack President Richard Nixon, the war, racism and oppression. * On Sept. 25, 1978, a Pacific Southwest Airlines 727 jet collides in mid-air with a small plane over San Diego, killing 153 people. The Cessna’s student pilot did not comply with air controller instruction to keep the plane below 3,500 feet altitude. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* It was noted author and Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway who made the following sage observation: "Never think that war, no matter how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead." He would know; he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front during World War I. * Poets, take note: The words 'orange', 'month', 'purple' and 'silver' have no rhyming words in English. * Historians say that Queen Victoria didn't like knocking at doors; she preferred scratching. * If you're interested in space, you are probably aware that the second person to walk on the moon was Buzz Aldrin. Most likely, though, you didn't know that his mother's maiden name was Moon. Aldrin kept this fact a secret from NASA -- he was evidently concerned that his bosses would think he was somehow trying to gain favor. * Those who study such things say that deep-sea angler fish mate for life -- the male's life, anyway. The female is much larger than the male, and when they mate the male attaches himself to her abdomen where he remains, living as a parasite, until he dies. * If you have detected the presence of the paranormal by olfactory means, you've experienced “clairalience.”
• Where salt seas became land-locked and dried up, large strata of rock salt were left, which are good places for salt mines. One of the largest salt plants in the U.S. is located in Texas City, where there’s a salt deposit that’s 1.5 miles wide and over three miles thick. There’s enough salt in this one location to supply the world’s needs for some 20,000 years.
• The Erie Canal was built with funds raised from a 12% tax placed on American salt and, once built, was used to carry heavy loads of salt from the factories in New York.
• Your kidneys are responsible for making sure the ratio of salt to water in the bloodstream stays at the optimum level. If you drink salt water while stranded on a raft in the ocean, the level of salt in the bloodstream skyrockets. The kidneys now work overtime to add water to the blood in order to return things to normal. Sea water is three times saltier than urine, so for every cup of sea water that is drunk, the body has to make three cups of urine to flush the salt out of the body. This robs your body tissues of their natural supply of water, and you become dehydrated much faster than if you had not drunk the salt water.

FAST FACT
• Some species of sea birds have a gland between their eyes that filters salt from seawater that the bird drinks and empties it out of the beak. Some birds, like the albatross, cannot drink fresh water or they suffer from salt deficiency as the salt continues to pour out of the gland. The camel is also adapted for drinking brackish salt water. Pure water may intoxicate the animal.

Divorce Rate Soars
--The rate of divorce among older adults (over age 50) has doubled in the past 20 years. Among those who are in remarriages the divorce rate is even higher -- 2 1/2 times that of those in a first marriage. The implications for seniors aren’t the same as they are for younger generations -- we have a different set of issues that come with divorce. If you’re considering ending a marriage, here are some things to think about: * Adult children -- What role will they need to take? Caregiver or financial supporter as one of you ages? And that’s if you have adult children nearby. * Your home -- Who gets to keep it? The one who ends up with the house will likely end up with less of something else in the settlement. * Caring for parents -- If you’re a caregiver (financially, physically or both) for your own parents, you’ll likely end up doing this on your own. What will that do to your own health? Can you afford it? * Alimony -- If you’re still working, you’ll likely pay alimony to an unemployed spouse, and not for just a short period of time. It will likely be until the end of his or her life. * Retirement -- Your assets will likely be halved, and as a senior, your ability to increase income will be limited. Your tax bracket will change to single, which is a higher tax rate. Get financial and legal counseling before dropping the D-word on your spouse. Get all your information first so that assets don’t disappear. Know whether there are any 401(k) plans and if there have been any loans taken out on them. Be sure to understand your rights. And if you remarry, get a pre-nup without fail. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Noteworthy Inventions
JOY MORTON
• Joy Morton was born in 1855 in Nebraska City, Nebraska. After falling ill with spinal meningitis at the age of 18, he decided to get a job entailing hard physical labor in an outdoor setting in order to regain his strength. He subsequently went to work for the railroad, working throughout Illinois. He eventually found a job working for E.I. Wheeler’s salt manufacturing company in Chicago. • He became a partner in the business in 1886 when he invested $10,000 in order to move salt westward by hauling it on barges across the Great Lakes. When Wheeler died, Morton bought the company. When his brother and son joined the company, it was renamed Morton Salt Company. It was the only salt company in the nation at the time and it is still remains the #1 salt producer in North America.

• Morton was responsible for two innovations in salt. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to work properly. Without iodine, the thyroid swells, sometimes enormously, and forms a goiter. People suffering from iodine deficiency suffer from tremors, fatigue, nausea, and anemia. Iodine is usually present in the soil and the water. But in places where it’s not, goiters became common. In 1924, almost 66% of school children in the Lake Superior school districts had goiters. Meantime, goiters were almost unheard of along the Mississippi River, where the water has up to 18,000 times as much natural iodine as Lake Superior. After being approached by health officials, Morton became the first company to add iodine to its salt in minuscule amounts. Health authorities correctly surmised that salt was the single most universally consumed food item, and it’s easy to add iodine to salt. One-fifth of a pound of iodine is enough to treat an entire ton of salt.
Answers on page 14 Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below:
• As a result, between 1924 and 1928, the goiters of Michigan - and everywhere else - virtually disappeared. Today, over half of all table salt sold is iodized. Sea salt has no iodine added because it contains iodine naturally. • The other innovation Morton invented was to add an anti-caking element to salt. In the 1800s, ground-up salt tended to form clumps in humid weather. Many salt shakers were made that tried to combat this using various means. Some had agitators inside to break up lumps; some had special pockets for moisture-absorbing solutions. Morton began adding magnesium carbonate to salt which prevented it from clumping up even in the rainiest environments. This inspired their slogan (swiped from the Bible, and suggested by Morton’s son) “When it rains, it pours” and the famous logo of the little girl with the big umbrella. In a poll, 90% of housewives recognized the slogan. After the clumping problem was solved, the salt shaker became standard issue. • In 1903, the Morton warehouse in South Chicago contained over 200,000 tons of salt the world’s largest stock under a single roof. No one knows what started the fire, but the entire compound was in ruins by the time it was out. Where once there were piles of pure white salt, now there were piles of blackened salt, covered with ashes and carbon. Joy Morton was undaunted. Charcoal makes a good additive in stock food, and soon farmers were buying up the new product: Morton’s special “charcoal blend.” The entire stock of salt was sold. • In the 1930s the Morton Co. expanded into other chemical products, and in 1982 merged with the Thiokol Corp. to form Morton-Thiokol. Morton now sells around 400 different kinds of salt-based products.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson
* “When moving, use foam plates as separators for your dinner plates. Use kitchen towels to wrap serving platters. If you have a box that separates glasses, drop a spice jar into each glass. Use all the space, and you’ll have fewer boxes to move.” -- P.L. in South Carolina * “Have a stripped screw? Place a wide rubber band over the head and insert your drill. The rubber band fills in the stripped spots and makes the drill catch the screw. It works most of the time.” -D.D. in Nebraska * To remove stubborn hard-water deposits from a shower head (without removing it), use this trick: Add a cup of plain white vinegar to a zipper-top sandwich bag (or a larger bag with added vinegar to fit larger showerheads).

QUICK QUIZ: SAUCE #1
• Off the coast of Louisiana there’s a place called Avery Island. A family named McIlhenny owned the island and ran the nation’s first successful salt mine there. • In 1862, in the midst of the Civil War, Union troops invaded the area. They needed salt to preserve their meat, so they took over the island. Mr. McIlhenny and his family fled to Texas. • When they returned after the war, they found the salt factory and the plantation ruined. All that was left was a crop of hot peppers, which the soldiers had no taste for. The peppers were particularly hot because the soil was so salty. McIlhenny was determined to make a profit from the peppers so he began experimenting. He devised a new sauce using his peppers combined with the island’s salt, along with vinegar and spices. He named it after a river in Mexico simply because he liked the word.

• After pouring it into empty cologne bottles, he sent samples to wholesalers. The typical cuisine of the Southern U.S. tended to be bland, but people found that just a few drops of McIlhenny’s sauce spiced things up. In 1868 he sold 350 bottles of the sauce. In 1870 he sold over 1,000. Two years later demand was so great he had to open a London branch. • Today McIhenny’s factories on Avery Island produce 200,000 to 300,000 bottles of this sauce each day, and it’s sold worldwide. What sauce is it? Answer: Tabasco
QUICK QUIZ: SAUCE #2
• According to the legend, Lord Sandys of England spent several years living in India. Around 1835 he returned home to England, bringing with him the recipe for a sauce that he liked which was popular in India. He gave the recipe to two druggists named John Lea and William Perrins. • John Lea and William Perrins were so impressed by Sandys’ ravings about how good it was going to taste that they mixed up a few barrels of it, hoping to make a big profit by selling the excess to their customers. But when they tasted it, they found it so awful that they stored the barrels in the basement and forgot about them. • A few years later, the barrels were rediscovered while the basement was being cleaned out. Before throwing it out, they tasted it again. After aging for two years, the sauce had fermented, developing a new flavor that was an instant hit. They went into business, releasing the new product in 1838. • When salesmen employed by Lea and Perrins convinced British passenger ships to put bottles of the sauce on their dining room tables, its popularity spread worldwide. • Today the recipe includes anchovies, soybeans, vinegar, garlic, shallots, and molasses, which are blended and then aged two years. The sauce was named after the town where the druggists lived, and is still one of the world’s most popular sauces, used in everything from meats to mixed drinks. What is it? Answer: Lea & Perrins created Worcestershire Sauce, often called Worcester Sauce. (The town was Worcester and ‘shire’ means ‘county.’)

• Tabasco should be stored in a cool dark place but does not need to be refrigerated. • Tabasco sauce may change color over time, growing darker with exposure to heat and light, but that doesn’t affect the taste. • Tabasco has a shelf life of about five years. • A teaspoon full of Tabasco has zero calories. • A maximum of about 700,000 bottles of Tabasco can be turned out every single day.

COE CELEBRATES 60th ANNIVERSARY of an UNDEFEATED SEASON And The Play That Made It Possible By Madelyne Rosenberg, Freelance Writer
CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA - For the first time since Moray (The Fox) Eby’s famous ‘point-a-minute’ team in 1922, Coe “ran the table” for a spectacular season. The 1955 Coe football team won all their games with relative ease despite having several touchdowns inadvertently called back. Several legitimate touchdowns (team members remember at least 5 call-backs) were whistled dead when the officials thought fullback John Rosenberg (Crunch) had the ball and was tackled. “In reality I often did have the ball, when my number was called for a fullback counter up the middle, but many times I faked as if I had it,” said Rosenberg. “Only then Shady Day the quarterback, would pull it out, hide it with his back to the line and throw a pass to end George Cilek for a touchdown.” The fullback counter could be argued as the teams most successful play and was dubbed simply, “Crunch.” Carl Kane, the then Coe Sports Publicist, wrote in the 1955 Coe College Homecoming pamphlet that, “Crunch” has become one of the favorite words of the Coe team. It has replaced the usual number for a fullback power play into the line. Whenever Coe needs some yardage, Quarterback Shady Day just tells the huddle, “Crunch.” Then Rosenberg takes the ball for a couple yards.” The “Fakemasters” logically called the pass off of “Crunch,” “Crunch Pass. According to Rosenberg, the coaches, Dick Clausen and Marv Levy didn’t think much about the call backs at first but it became clear it must stop. In an attempt to give the officials a “heads up” coach Clausen began diagramming the play on a chalk-board, cautioning them NOT to call Rosenberg dead, unless he for sure had the football. Rosenberg recollects that, “before one game Fred Winters, Cedar Rapids native, college official and IHSAA Hall of Fame official told Coach Clausen, “If I ever call Rosenberg dead with an early whistle, I will resign.” Sure enough, in that game, Winters called Crunch dead and the touchdown had to be called back. And -- sure enough Official Winters resigned and never officiated again. The 1955 Coe College team received national attention on account of this play that could fool anyone, including the officials. “The expertise of this play didn’t just happen,” said Rosenberg. “Coach Clausen put a significant amount of work into refining the play to near perfection.” Coe ran what was called the Oklahoma Split-T of which included this play. Bud wilkinson’s Split-T was a take-off of Coach Don Faurot’s (Missouri) Split-T. Wilkinson won national titles in 1950, 1953 and 1956 and ran up a 47 game winning streak using the Split-T. Clausen attended Wilkinson’s spring training where they collaborated to improve the intricacies of the system. Clausen also consulted with Davey Nelson of Delaware who was considered to be the “father of the Wing-T.” Carl Kane wrote about the ’55 team, “Never have there been so many Kohawks ranking high in the national listings of the NCAA which weekly rates more than 3000 small college teams.” When the word got out that Coe touchdowns were being called back because of this effective play, many teams from all over the country sought to get the details. As a perfectionist of the Split-T, Clausen held high school clinics and offered the play to anyone who asked. He was published in the “Scholastic Coach.” Woody Hayes of Ohio State fame called Clausen for the play. Life Magazine came out to Coe and filmed the play. Coe was invited to the Tangerine Bowl. The success and preciseness of this play had a profound residual effect on the entire offense. Like all offensive schemes, there are expected compatibilities with other aspects of the attack. Because this play succeeded, it opened up the outside game, the half-back dives, and other pass routes for “Phiz” Phillips, Jim Hamilton and Dale Amendt. The backbone of the offense, linemen Ken James, John Lindstedt, Brad Ankerstar, Ralph Pucci, Dennis Armstron, Roger Higgins and Jon Kohl was the glue that bound the team together. A successful “Crunch” precipitated a successful season. Note: • Coach Dick Clausen was the national Little All-American Coach of the Year; went on to coach at New Mexico and then to Arizona as Athletic Director. • Coach Marv Levy continued coaching taking the Buffalo Bills to four Super Bowls. • George “Boge” Cilek went on to fly fighter jets in Viet Nam. • Elliot “Shady” Day went into business. • Wayne “Phiz” Phillips went into high school and college coaching including xxxxx years as the Coe coach where he had xxxxx conference championships. • John “Crunch” Rosenberg signed as a free agent with the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL, but broke his hand in pre-season camp to end his football hopes.

Rick was 14 years old when he started working with radiators. It wasn’t long until he was known as ‘Radiator Rick’. He worked for many years at H& H Radiator Shop where he worked with specialized radiators from antique cars to big trucks. H&H Shop was flooded out in 2008 at which time Rick went to work for Frickson Masonry Inc. Not only is Rick a hard-worker, but he is a very social and loving person. He is always helping others, and doesn’t ask for anything in return. In his free time Rick loves to hunt and fish. He has been happily married to Kay Ricklefs for 30 years. Now at 54 years old, Rick has been diagnosed with a fast moving cancer of the organs. We are looking to raise money to assist the family with medical bills and other financial expenses they were unprepared for.
You can help out by donating for his medical and other expenses. Go Fund Me Account http://www.gofundme.com/6b3ne6a8
Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.
