by Kathy Wolfe When we think of November holidays, Thanksgiving most frequently comes to mind. But there are several other unusual observances you may not know about. Tidbits brings you up to date on a few others worth noting. • Folks around the world band together every 11th month to celebrate “NoShave November,” when they toss their razors aside for 30 days. Do you know the reason behind this observance? It began in Australia in 2003 as “Movember,” a campaign to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. In the last 12 years, the movement has grown to 21 countries. Participants are urged to show off their mustaches, goatees, or what have you, and then to donate what they would have spent on hair grooming to their country’s cancer society for research. In the U.S., prostate cancer accounts for about 5% of all cancer deaths. Leaders of the foundation hope that men will be asked why they have a beard, which can promote conversations about men’s health. • Most of us are probably unaware there is a National Button Society, let alone National Button Day! The society was formed in 1938 for all who enjoyed preserving, studying, collecting, and crafting with buttons, and November 16 was designated National Button Day. The organization boasts 3,000 members on four continents. Cont'd next page!

The event had its beginnings in 1970, when a Randolph, Massachusetts man named Arthur Mullaney asked people to give up cigarettes for one day and donate the money saved to the local high school’s scholarship fund. A similar campaign was held in Minnesota a few years later, and in 1976, the American Cancer Society had its first official Smokeout in San Francisco.

• International Tongue Twister Day falls on November 8th this year. The official definition of a tongue twister is “a phrase containing a combination of alliteration and rhyme strategically designed to be stumbled over.” Some of the more familiar ones include “rubber baby buggy bumpers” and “She sells sea shells by the seashore.” Most of us know that “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,” but were you aware that Peter Piper was a real person? Pierre Poivre, a one-armed French pirate and horticulturist who lived in the mid1700s, was known for stealing spice nuts, known as peppers, from Dutch trade ships and planting them in his garden. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the English language’s most difficult tongue twister is, “The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.” • November 8th is also X-Ray Day, commemorating the day in 1895 when German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally discovered the X-ray in his laboratory. While experimenting with passing high-voltage current through a glass gas tube, Roentgen observed that the beam turned a screen 9 feet away a strange greenish fluorescent color, even though the tube was covered in heavy black cardboard. Realizing that objects could be penetrated by the rays, he made an X-ray of his wife’s hand that clearly showed its bones. Roentgen was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1901 for his discovery. • November 19 is also Rocky & Bullwinkle Day, to commemorate the original premiere day of Rocky & His Friends (later known as The Bullwinkle Show) on that day in 1959. The animated series, which featured Bullwinkle the moose and his flying squirrel friend Rocket J. Squirrel (Rocky for short), aired from 1959 to 1964. • Bullwinkle received his name from the name of a Berkeley, California car dealership called Bullwinkel Motors. The duo lived in the fictional Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, which was loosely based on the real city of International Falls, Minnesota. They battled the Russian-esque spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Cont'd next page!

• Happy Area Code Day! In the early 1950s, the Bell Telephone System used human operators to direct long-distance calls to their destinations. However, a change was on the on the way when the North American Numbering Plan was devised, a plan that assigned area codes across the continent. New Jersey received the first area code, 201, followed by the District of Columbia, which was assigned 202. The first customer-dialed telephone call using area codes was made on November 10, 1951, from Englewood, New Jersey, to Alameda, California. • You probably didn’t know that November 15 is National Bundt Pan Day, a day set aside to honor this ring-shaped, fluted cake pan. Inspired by the European fruit cake known as Gugelhupf, the pan was invented by David Dalquist, founder of the Nordic Ware Company, in 1950. He first called it a “bund” pan, from the German word for “gathering,” but added a “t” at the end for trademark protection. There wasn’t much enthusiasm about the tube pan until the 1960s, when Texas housewife Ella Helfrich concocted a recipe for the Tunnel of Fudge cake using her Bundt pan, and was awarded second place in the annual Pillsbury Bake-off Contest, taking home a $5,000 prize. Since then, more than 60 million Bundt pans have been sold.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* It was early 20th-century American horror novelist H.P. Lovecraft who made the following sage observation: “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” * Those who study such things say that Americans spend about $1.65 billion every year on tattoos, and that 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo. * In 1974, fast-food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken launched a new marketing campaign in their Japanese stores. Called “Kentucky for Christmas,” it has had a lasting impact on the habits of the Japanese. More than 40 years later, the special fried chicken meal, which comes complete with cake and sparkling wine, is offered every Christmas. It’s so popular that those who fail to order theirs months in advance end up waiting in line for hours on Christmas Day to get their traditional holiday meal.

NEWS: Things must first work IN me before they work FOR me! Let’s talk about God... “When you
received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the Word of God, which is indeed at work IN you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13. Knowing God is not about joining a religion or a church so you can be part of something. It is about an INWARD change of your heart. When we believe, we chase the heart of God. The results are working IN us before they work FOR us. If we want His blessings, we must meet His conditions.

Time for Medicare Open Enrollment
Here we are again in the middle of the annual open enrollment for Medicare. Information abounds, but AARP especially is encouraging seniors to compare the cost of drug plans with an eye toward saving money. Here are some of the things you can do during the open enrollment: * Change from traditional Medicare to an Advantage plan, or vice versa. * Switch from one stand-alone prescription drug plan to another. * Drop Part D. * Sign up for a drug plan if you didn’t join one when you first enrolled in Medicare. * Change from one Advantage plan to another. You’ll be looking for convenience, cost, customer service and coverage. There are two easy (or at least easier than doing it yourself) ways to pick a plan. 1) Go online to Medicare’s Plan Finder (www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan) and start by putting in your ZIP code for plans in your area under the general search. Below that is the personalized search, but only use that if you’re absolutely sure of your computer’s virus protection, because it requires you to put in your Medicare number. 2) Call Medicare directly at 1-800-633-4227 or contact your State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) at www.shiptacenter.org. If you need to learn more, check the AARP site (aarp.org) for A Newcomer’s Guide to Medicare or AARP Medicare Part D Guide. Don’t forget that the open enrollment only runs through Dec. 7, 2015. Any changes you make will start on Jan. 1, 2016. Open enrollment is for those who already have Medicare. If you’re just now signing up for Medicare, there is a different enrollment window for you: three months before your 65th birthday, your birthday month, and three months after your birthday.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS: The name of Otis conjures up a vision of elevators for most folks, but there was much more to this inventor than just that apparatus. Here are the facts on American industrialist and inventor Elisha Otis. • As a young married man in Vermont, Elisha Otis designed and built his own gristmill, grinding grains into flour. When it failed to earn a profit, he converted the operation into a sawmill. Unfortunately, the sawmill was a bust as well, and Otis started building wagons and carriages. Tragically, his young wife passed away, leaving him with an infant and an eight-year-old. • At 34, Otis had remarried and moved to Albany, New York, where he worked as a doll maker. He tired quickly of the job, and took a position making bedsteads for four-poster beds. While working for that company in Albany, Otis set to work inventing a machine that could turn bedsteads four times faster than doing it manually. Production skyrocketed to 50 units per day. Otis was paid a $500 bonus, enabling him to start up his own business. In the meantime, he was also devising plans for a safety brake for trains and an automatic bread baking oven.

• Tasked with converting a former sawmill into a bedstead factory of his own, Otis was discouraged with the amount of garbage and rubble he had to clean up. Much of it had to be moved to the upper floors of the factory. Otis and his sons went to work devising a safety elevator for the project. His invention wasn’t the elevator, but rather a safety device that prevented the elevator from falling if the hoisting cable were to fail. The machine featured toothed wooden guide rails that fit into opposite sides of the elevator shaft. He then fitted a spring to the top of the elevator with the hoisting cables running through it.

Do you or a loved one STRUGGLE on the stairs? We have the AFFORDABLE solution! MENTION THIS AD FOR
• Otis’ elevator was guided by the cables, but if they broke, the spring mechanism was thrown outward into the notches, keeping the cab from falling. When it appeared to be successful, he and his sons founded the Union Elevator Works, and he sold his first safety elevator in 1853. • It wasn’t until the 1854 New York World’s Fair that Otis’ contraption gained notoriety. In a daring demonstration at the Crystal Palace exhibition building, Otis stood on a platform high in the air, and ordered the rope cut. The platform fell just a few inches before Otis’ safety device stopped its descent. Orders for his elevator began pouring in, with the numbers doubling every year. Otis perfected a three-way steam valve engine, which could switch the elevator between up and down as well as stop the cab rapidly. In 1857, the first safety elevator for passenger service was installed in a New York City department store. • Otis’ other patents included railroad car trucks and brakes, an oscillating steam engine, a steam plow, and a baking oven. His success was cut short when he contracted diphtheria in 1861 and perished from the disease at age 49 in 1861. Sadly, he didn’t live to see one of his safety elevators installed in Paris’ Eiffel Tower for the 1889 World’s Fair. The Otis Elevator Company gained further notoriety when their elevators were installed in the Chrysler Building in 1930, at the time the world’s tallest building, and the Empire State Building in 1931, which grabbed the title from Chrysler.

* “Here’s a great way to organize in the shop: Use chalkboard paint on the outside of cabinet doors, and even drawer fronts. You can label the contents, or use the surface to jot down quick measurements if needed. Simple to erase when you make a change. I write down references for a project as I go, and it’s easier to see than shuffling through scrap papers on my workbench.” -- A. in Montana

* Experts say to always crack your egg on a flat surface, rather than using the edge of a counter or bowl. More egg-tastic advice is to crack eggs into a small bowl instead of directly to ingredients. If you have a sneaky “bad egg” in your dozen, it’s better to find out before you ruin your baking. * Attention salad eaters: Got a thick dressing that’s high in fat? Rinse lettuce before dressing your salad. Wet or moist lettuce traps less dressing. If your dressing is light, give salad greens an extra spin. Drier lettuce holds on to dressing, making lightly dressed salad more flavorful. * Another great use for baking soda: Add a cup or two to your toilet bowl. Swish and let sit for 1-2 hours. Flush for odor control and shine. * “I love to search for recipes online, and I have learned to pay attention to the comments section. You’ll find a lot of explanation and frequently a tweak that many people have found successful.

One of the more unusual November observances takes place on November 2. Plan Your Own Epitaph Day is the day set aside for you to determine what your tombstone should say about your life. Take a look at how some folks chose to be remembered. • The word “epitaph” has its origins in the Greek and Latin meaning “a funeral oration” or “over tomb.” Some epitaphs testify of the deceased’s character, whether good or bad, while others are designed to make the reader smile or contemplate his own mortality. • Merv Griffin, host of a popular talk show for 23 years, passed away in 2007 at age 82. His humorous tombstone contradicted the phrase he had uttered thousands of the times over the years, with the epitaph reading, “I will NOT be right back after this message.” • Often referred to as “the man with 1,000 voices,” Mel Blanc, the voice behind our favorite cartoon characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, and Yosemite Sam, chose a line popularized by another of his characters, Porky Pig, as his final sign-off. The engraving on his tombstone appropriately reads, “That’s all folks.” • Some epitaphs speak of the reason behind the entombed’s death, such as “First a cough carried me off. Then a coffin they carried me off in,” or “She always said her feet were killing her, but nobody believed her,” and the classic, “I told you I was sick.” • Some folks allowed their next-of-kin to pen their epitaph, and may not have liked the results. Consider what one husband had engraved on his wife’s tombstone: “To follow you I’m not content. How do I know which way you went?” Another husband declared, “Here lies my wife. I bid her goodbye. She rests in peace and now so do I.” • The mother of outlaw Jesse James chose the epitaph for her 34-year-old son’s grave, “Murdered by a traitor and a coward whose name is not worthy to appear here.” She was referring to an unarmed Jesse being shot in the back of the head by a member of James’ own gang. The name she considered unworthy was Bob Ford. • Tombstone, Arizona’s Boot Hill Cemetery contains the remains of another outlaw, whose clever inscription reads, “Here lies Lester Moore, shot 4 times with a .44, No Les No More.” Another Boot Hill grave has the epitaph, “Here lies George Johnson, hanged by mistake 1882. He was right, we was wrong, but we strung him up and now he’s gone.” • How about a play on words on a surname or occupation? A British lawyer named John Strange chose his inscription to read, “Here lies an honest lawyer, and that is Strange.” A dentist opted for “Stranger! Approach this spot with gravity! John Brown is filling his last cavity!” Johnny Yeast, a Ruidoso, New Mexico, gentleman’s gravestone is etched, “Here Lies Johnny Yeast. Pardon me for not rising.” • One young lady took advantage of an opportunity to advertise: “Sacred to the memory of my husband John Barnes who died January 3, 1803. His comely young widow, age 23, has many qualifications of a good wife, and yearns to be comforted.” • A tombstone in Scotland reminds us all of the inevitable: “Consider, friend, as you pass by: As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, you too shall be. Prepare, therefore, to follow me.”
