TIDBITS® LOOKS AT SOME by Kathy Wolfe October 5 is World Teachers Day, and Tidbits is taking the opportunity to investigate well-known folks who were teachers before they became famous. Take a look – you might be surprised at who were former educators. • Prior to his role as the fictional Sheriff Andy Taylor in Mayberry, Andy Griffith taught English at the high school in Goldsboro, North Carolina. He was also responsible for creating the school’s award-winning marching band during his tenure from 1949 to 1953. • Art Garfunkel is more than just a stellar singer/songwriter. He’s also a math whiz who earned an M.A. in the subject from Columbia University, and was working toward his doctorate during the peak of Simon & Garfunkel’s fame. Shortly after the immense success of “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” the duo parted ways, and Art branched out into acting, with roles in 1970’s Catch-22 and 1971’s Carnal Knowledge. He also took a position as a math teacher at a private prep school in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1971. It was a little difficult being a pop star math teacher. In Garfunkel’s words, “I would talk them through a math problem and ask if anyone had any questions and they would say, ‘What were the Beatles like?’ turn the page for more!

• Thirty-sixth President Lyndon B. Johnson was a school principal and teacher of 5th, 6th, and 7th-graders at the Mexican-American Welhausen School in Cotulla, Texas, in 1927 when he was just 19 years old. He went on to teach public speaking at high schools in Pearsall and Houston, Texas, before entering politics in 1937. As a Congressman in 1941, he was the first member of Congress to volunteer for active duty after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He reported to the U.S. Navy on December 9, just two days after the bombing. Johnson was sworn in as U.S. President approximately 90 minutes after President John F. Kennedy was declared dead in a Dallas hospital. He took the oath of office in the conference room aboard Air Force One, as the plane sat at Dallas’ Love Field, the first and only time a President has been sworn in on an airplane. • The second U.S. President, John Adams, also did a stint as a schoolmaster in Worcester, Massachusetts. He found the profession boring and stated that his students were a “large number of little runtlings, just capable of lisping A, B, C, and troubling the master.” Yet he kept the job in order to pay the bills while attending law school. • From 1974 to 1976, Gordon Sumner used his degree from Northern Counties Teachers Training College in Newcastle, England, to teach at a convent school in nearby Cramington for two years, the only male on the faculty. On his free evenings, he played in a group called the Phoenix Jazzmen, and frequently wore his favorite black-and-yellow-striped sweater while performing. The bandleader thought Gordon looked like a bee and gave him the nickname “Sting.” In 1977, Sumner moved to London and teamed up with two others to form the band The Police. Today, Sting’s net worth is estimated in the $300 million range. cont'd next page! Father: How do you like going to school?

* On Oct. 18, 1867, the U.S. formally takes possession of Alaska after buying the territory from Russia for $7.2 million, or less than 2 cents an acre. The American public ridiculed the purchase, believing the land to be barren and worthless. * On Oct. 17, 1931, gangster Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison, signaling the downfall of one of the most notorious criminals of the 1920s and ‘30s. FBI agent Eliot Ness and his men routinely broke up Capone’s bootlegging businesses, but it was tax-evasion charges that finally stuck. * On Oct. 13, 1957, American movie audiences are treated to the sciencefiction thriller “The Amazing Colossal Man.” Other films of the Cold War nuclear-weapon culture included “Them!” (1954) and “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953). * On Oct. 14, 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis begins, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear conflict. High-altitude photographs offered evidence of Sovietmade medium-range missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles from the U.S.

• We know him best as the bass player of the band KISS, with his face painted white with black flames. But prior to his musical fame, Gene Simmons was a teacher of sixth-graders in a Harlem, New York, grade school. Simmons was born Chaim Witz in Israel to a mother who had survived the Holocaust. The two of them emigrated to New York City when Simmons was eight years old, without knowing a word of English. (This musician now speaks English, Hungarian, Hebrew, and German.) KISS, formed in 1973 in New York, has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, and has 45 gold albums to date. Despite his somewhat “demonic” look, Gene Simmons says he has never drunk alcohol, taken drugs, or even smoked a cigarette. • Singer Kris Kristofferson might not have been the successful singer he is today had he not turned down the opportunity to teach Literature at West Point Academy. Kristofferson was a Rhodes Scholar, earning a Master’s degree in English Literature at Oxford, graduating summa cum laude, and even appeared in Sports Illustrated’s “Faces in the Crowd” for his accomplishments in collegiate rugby, football, and track and field. After graduation, he joined the Army and rose to the rank of Captain, completing Ranger training, and becoming a helicopter pilot. At the end of his tour in 1965, Kristofferson was offered a professorship at West Point. At the last minute, he turned down the offer, resigned his commission, and pursued a music career. His family, including his U.S. Air Force Major General father, disowned him and never reconciled with him.

Stop the Dam from BurSting
Picture the little boy trying to stop several small leaks with his fingers and toes to prevent the dam from bursting. Solomon wrote, “The start of a quarrel is like a leak in a dam, so stop it before it bursts.” Proverbs 17:14. A person who starts a quarrel here and there will someday be the source of an eruption of major proportions. A trickle that becomes a torrent starts out as more water flowing than predicted. The trickle then leads to water flow that is impossible to control. The burst then leads to water that will never be retrieved. So the solution is to not allow the dam to be breached. James wrote, “I’ll be swift to hear, slow to speak, pushing down my anger for the Lord.” Just like the waters that will never be retrieved, so are our words and actions. Most of us go through life wishing we could take back some things we said or just simply to have a chance at a do-over. To prevent a flood of irretrievable comments or actions, sometimes the best thing to do is
BE QUIET!!! Those two action words can prevent major flooding.

Flu Shot Vaccine Is Just the Start
--A flu shot might not be the only vaccine you need. So says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Health and Human Services. This year, the list is quite long. Flu shot: Ideally you should get the shot by October. Flu will peak in December, but the vaccine takes a few weeks to start working and provide protection. There are two types: trivalent (threeway) and quadrivalent (four-way), plus an extra-strength trivalent for people age 65 and older. Shingles: Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful rash that we’re hearing more about, or maybe we even know someone who’s had it. Those of us over age 60 should get the vaccine, they say, whether or not we’ve had chickenpox. Protection lasts about five years. Diptheria, tetanus, pertussis: This is usually in a combination shot, with Tdap and Td given to older adults. That stands for tetanus-diphtheria, as well as pertussis. Your doctor would need to figure out whether you need a booster, especially for tetanus if you work outside in the soil, which is where tetanus bacteria comes from. Pneumonia: There are two types of vaccines for pneumococcal disease, but 90 types of pneumonia bacteria. Both vaccines protect against only a couple of dozen types, but either one is better than no vaccine. The CDC has a short quiz you can take online that will tell you the vaccines you need. You can print it out and take it to your doctor to see if he agrees. Go online to www.cdc.gov and put “immunization schedule” in the search box. To find locations that are giving flu shots in your area, go online to flu.gov and put your ZIP code in the search box. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:
JOHN SPILSBURY
For literally hundreds of years, people of all ages have enjoyed putting jigsaw puzzles together. Here’s the history of this favorite pastime. • Born in England in 1739, at age 14, John Spilsbury became an apprentice to Thomas Jeffreys, an engraver, map seller, and the Royal Geographer to the King. At 21, Spilsbury branched out on his own as an engraver, mapmaker, and printer of children’s educational books, maps, charts, and stationery. • In 1766, when he was 26, Spilsbury devised the idea of mounting maps on a sheet of hardwood. Using a fine-bladed marquetry saw, he cut around the borders of the countries, with the goal of teaching Geography to British students. He called his invention “Dissected Maps,” and became the first commercial manufacturer of jigsaws. Over the next two years, he marketed several different styles, including the world, Africa, America, Asia, Europe, England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Unfortunately, Spilsbury did not live to see the great success of his invention, passing away at age 30. • For the next 50 years, the puzzles were primarily an educational activity. They gradually transitioned into a leisure pastime, with illustrations mounted on plywood. They were still known as “dissections,” but when the treadle saw was introduced around 1880, they began to be called “jigsaw puzzles.” Penciled tracings of where to cut the pieces were made on the back of the wood. • In the late 1800s, cardboard puzzles made their debut, mostly for children’s puzzles. For many years, they were not the top seller, as retailers continued to stock mostly wooden puzzles, believing that customers liked them better than “cheap” cardboard varieties. • The puzzles of the early 20th century did not interlock, and many an hour’s work was negated by a bump to the table. Adult puzzles of this era did not have the picture on the box and the subject matter was a mystery until all the pieces were in place. • Early puzzles were quite expensive, as much as $5 for a 500-piece puzzle in 1908, because each piece was cut individually. Cardboard puzzle quality improved and prices dropped with the invention of a device that would die cut them in a press. Strips of metal with sharp edges were fastened to a plate, much like a cookie cutter, enabling the mass production of puzzles. • During the 1930s, puzzles were a method of advertising, with stores offering free puzzles with the purchase of a toothbrush or other sundry item. The illustration featured an image of the product, a clever way for manufacturers to keep a vision of their item in the consumers’ minds. Puzzles were especially popular during the Great Depression as an inexpensive form of entertainment. Sales of adult puzzles were an astounding 10 million per week. Puzzles were also something that could be made by hand at home by those who could not afford the store-bought kinds. • Today, people enjoy jigsaw puzzles more than any other table game. • The record for the most pieces assembled together in a single jigsaw is 209,250, an event that took place at Taiwan’s Grand Formosa Regent Hotel.

• 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 Jim Hanson Dick Hogan to destinations on the& Hudson River.

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.

J.K. ROWLING
Tidbits continues celebrating World Teachers Day by focusing on author J.K. Rowling, who has been wildly successful with her Harry Potter series of books. • The life of Joanne Kathleen Rowling has been a true “rags-to-riches” story. Born in 1965 to a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer father and science technician mother, Rowling went from receiving welfare benefits as a single mother to being a multi-millionaire in just five years. • Shortly after the death of her mother from multiple sclerosis in 1990 when Joanne was 25, she answered a newspaper ad for an English teacher in Portugal. It was while working at a language institute in that country that she began penning the stories that would become the series about a young wizard. She claims she was on a four-hour-delayed train trip when the idea “came fully formed” into her mind.

• Her teaching duties were in the evenings, freeing up her day to write, which she did while listening to the music of Tchaikovsky. She married and had a child in Portugal, but after three years, she was back in England as “poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless.” • Two years later, Rowling finished typing the manuscript on her old manual typewriter and went looking for a publisher. Twelve publishing houses rejected the story of Harry Potter. Finally, in 1997, a London publisher, whose chairman’s 8-year-old daughter had read and loved the first chapter, agreed to a run of 1,000 copies under the title Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Rowling’s editor advised her to get a day job, because he couldn’t see her as a children’s book author. As her book began winning award after award, it was plain to see Rowling had a bright future. • The second and third books in the series followed in 1998 and 1999. When the fourth book, Goblet of Fire was released in 2000, its first-day sales were nearly as much as the first year’s sales of the second book, Prisoner of Azkaban. During its first 48 hours in the U.S., three million copies of Goblet were sold, breaking all records. • The sixth book in the series, The HalfBlood Prince, went on sale in 2005, with U.S. sales of nine million copies in the first 24 hours. The seventh and final book, The Deathly Hallows, was released in 2007, breaking all previous records with 11 million books the first day. The books have now been translated into 65 languages. • Rowling sold the film rights to Warner Brothers and the first of eight films premiered in 2001. It took 10 years to complete the filming of the series. The first movie was to be directed by Steven Spielberg, but he declined the offer. It was his thought that the series should be animated films, with American actor Haley Joel Osment voicing Harry Potter. Rowling had specifically demanded that the principal cast be British. • The eight-film series garnered 12 total Oscar nominations, but strangely enough, won no awards. The series grossed over $7.7 billion worldwide, more than the first 22 James Bond films combined, and the six Star Wars movies. • J.K. Rowling is ranked as the 12th richest woman in the United Kingdom, with an estimated worth of approximately $1 billion.

Q: Why is a cemetery a great place to write a story? A: Because there are so many plots there!
STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* You might be surprised to learn that the game of Chinese checkers isn’t actually Chinese in origin; it was invented in Germany. * If you consider all the militaries throughout the world during World War II, 7 out of every 8 deaths were German or Russian combatants. * In most countries of Western Europe during medieval times, 90 percent of the population shared about a dozen first names. * A 19th-century Columbus, Ohio, man named Jonathan Jackson was exceedingly fond of cats. He was such a feline devotee, in fact, that upon his death in 1880, his will dictated that his estate was to be used to construct a home for cats, complete with dormitories, an infirmary, a rectory, rat holes, roofs for climbing and areas for “conversation.” There was even an auditorium where the residents would listen to accordion music every day. * During the final 6 miles of a pilgrimage to Lhasa, Tibet, a devout Buddhist will kiss the ground approximately 30,000 times. * Those who study such things say that a properly prepared mummy will be wrapped in about 490 feet of linen.
