TIDBITS® CELEBRATES APRIL 10 WITH

FAMOUS SIBLINGS

by Kathy Wolfe Since April 10 is National Sibling Day, Tidbits is taking this opportunity to bring you facts about some famous siblings who’ve made the news over the years. • The Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, were born to a mother who was a personal manager and a father who was a real estate developer/mortgage broker. The two were cast in the ABC sitcom “Full House” at the age of nine months, sharing the role of Michelle Tanner for the entire series’ run from 1987 to 1995. After two more sitcoms, they branched out into producing. The Olsens are authors and businesswomen, with the majority of their time now spent on their luxury fashion design business. Their combined net worth is estimated in the $300 million range. • Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty were born to a psychology professor father and a drama teacher mother. Shirley made her film debut at age 21 in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and went on to fame in Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias. Although as a young man, Warren had been offered ten college football scholarships, he turned them down to study acting after seeing the success of his sister, who was already a Hollywood star.

• Country singer Naomi Judd has two famous daughters, Wynonna and Ashley. These sisters are direct descendants of famous Pilgrims Mary and William Brewster, who helped organize the first voyage of the Mayflower. Ashley, born Ashley Ciminella in 1968, has appeared in close to 40 films, but has many other accomplishments, including an MPA from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. She is active in humanitarian causes, including prevention of genocide and crimes against women. Sister Wynonna (birth name Christina Ciminella) teamed up with her mother to form a musical duo that had 14 No. 1 hits on the charts. The pair released seven albums before disbanding in 1991. Wynonna’s solo career has led to 20 more singles on the charts. • Professional tennis playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams have faced each other 27 times in Grand Slam finals. Both have been ranked Number One in the world in their career, with Venus topranked for 11 weeks, and Serena for 200 weeks. Currently Serena is No. 1 and Venus is No. 16. Venus is a seven-time Grand Slam title winner in singles, with Serena grabbing 21 titles. Each woman has won four gold medals in the Summer Olympics Games. A Williams sister has won the Wimbledon singles championship in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2015. • The American pop band Hanson, consisting of three brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac have sold more than 16 million records, and have had eight Top 40 albums. When their first album “Middle of Nowhere” was released in 1997, Isaac was 17, Taylor, 14, and Zac, just 12 years old. The album sold 10 million copies worldwide. The young brothers were nominated for three Grammy Awards in 1998. Cont'd next page!

FAMOUS SIBLINGS (cont'd):

• New Jersey brothers Paul, Joe, and Nicholas Jonas have sold upwards of 17 million records. Formed in 2005, they are the youngest band to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. • Baby boomers will remember the character of Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show,” a role that Ron Howard played for eight years. The Oklahomaborn Howard appeared in his first movie at 18 months, but had his first credited role at age 4. As a teenager, he began a six-year stint as Richie Cunningham on the popular sitcom “Happy Days.” At age 25, he left the series to focus on a career as a director. His many successful films include Cocoon, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code and Frost/ Nixon. Ron Howard has cast his younger brother Clint in 16 of the films he has directed. Clint was also a child star, appearing in the 1960s series “Gentle Ben” as the son of a Florida Everglades game warden who kept a bear as a pet. Ron is worth a little more than his brother -- $140 million to Clint’s $20 million. • There were more sets of siblings competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics than any other. Seven sets of siblings on Team USA competed either as teammates or as rivals, along with Ukraine’s female twins, three sisters from Switzerland, another three sisters from Canada, and two brothers from Norway. Two of the three Canadian sisters took gold and silver in the moguls event. In the men’s double luge event, two Austrian brothers won the silver medal, while two Latvian brothers took the Bronze. Dutch twin brothers won gold and bronze in the men’s 500-meter speedskating race. Over the years, there have been 19 families who have had three or more siblings compete at the Winter Olympics. The record is held by the Spanish Fernandez Ochoa family, who had three brothers and two sisters competing. Cont'd next page!

Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below:

• The Aurness brothers were born in the 1920s to a businessman and his journalist wife. James was the elder, who had his eyes set on being a World War II fighter pilot, but his height of 6’7” made it impossible. Instead, he served as an Army infantryman in Italy, where his leg was severely injured by machine-gun fire. After the war, James and his brother Peter, also a WWII vet, pursued careers in the entertainment field and both became well-known television actors in very different roles. James, who dropped the “u” in his name, became James Arness, the star of TV’s “Gunsmoke,” a long-running western set in 1870s Kansas. For 20 years from 1955 to 1975, Arness was Marshal Matt Dillon on the series, along with several made-for-TV “Gunsmoke” movies after the regular series ended. His brother changed his name to Peter Graves and became famous in his role of Jim Phelps, the director of the Impossible Missions Force on TV’s “Mission Impossible” from 1967 to 1973 and again from 1988 to 1990. The highly-successful 1980s comedy Airplane! films featured Graves as Captain Clarence Oveur, the pilot of a Boeing 707. • The 1977 Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack album, recorded by siblings, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb sold 15 million copies and was Album of the Year, with five of the songs making it to #1 on the charts. The Gibbs composed half of 1978’s biggest songs, with Barry and Robin once writing three #1 singles in one afternoon. Their sales exceed 220 million records. Of the three, only Barry survives, Maurice having died from intestinal problems in 2003 at 53, and his twin Robin succumbing to cancer in 2012. Dan: My little brother is a real pain. Nan: Things could be worse. Dan: How? Nan: He could be twins !

"Hello, is this the Linn County Sheriffs Department (LCSD)?" "Yes. What do you want? " "I’m calling to report my neighbor, Mike Fitzpatrick! He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood. " "Thank you very much for the call, sir." The next day, the LCSD officers descended on Mike’s house. They searched the shed where the firewood was kept. Using axes, they busted open every piece of wood, but found no marijuana. They swore at Mike, he swore at them, and they left. The next day, the phone rang at Mike’s house… "Hey, Mike! Did the LCSD come to your house?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep." "Happy Birthday, Buddy."

Cedar Rapids Community Concerts 2015 2016 Season!

The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has a long history of providing exceptional entertainment at a great price to Cedar Rapids and the surrounding community. Now in its 85th season, the CRCCA began in 1930 as a new way to offer top-name entertainers to smaller cities – rather than hiring the act and then trying to sell enough tickets to pay for it, community concert associations would sell memberships and then use those proceeds to secure a full season of concerts in advance. 5 Live Concerts for only $45.00. All concerts are at the Paramount Theatre in Cedar Rapids, IA. September 8th kicked off the season with Ethan Bortnick. October 4th, was Savanhah Jack. November 16th, was

International String Trio. Next up on April 12th, Jive Aces will be appearing. Having become the first ever band to reach the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent and following up with a performance for Her Majesty The Queen as part of the Jubilee celebrations, The Jive Aces have truly established themselves as the UK’s top Jive & Swing band. They are renowned for their hot, swinging music and high-energy stage shows, playing songs made famous by such greats as Bobby Darin, Louis Prima and Sammy Davis Jr., to name a few!

Our fifth concert this season will end April 29th with the Eastern Iowa Brass Band on. The 35 member ensemble

performs from a repertoire which features original works for brass band, as well as arrangements of well known orchestral and wind band literature

* On April 14, 1818, Noah Webster, a Yale-educated lawyer with an avid interest in language and education, publishes his American Dictionary of the English Language. The dictionary, which took him more than two decades to complete, introduced more than 10,000 “Americanisms.” * On April 15, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic sinks into the North Atlantic about 400 miles south of Newfoundland. It was later discovered that the liner Californian had been less than 20 miles away but had failed to hear the Titanic’s distress signals because its radio operator was off duty. * On April 16, 1947, a giant explosion occurs during the loading of ammonium nitrate fertilizer onto the freighter Grandcamp at a pier in Texas City, Texas. Nearly 600 people were killed and thousands injured when the ship was literally blown to bits. Its 3,000 pound anchor was found 2 miles away. * On April 11, 1988, actress and singer Cher collects the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in “Moonstruck.” Cherilyn Sarkasian first became famous as the taller, female half of the 1960s singing duo Sonny and Cher.

• The word “dolphin” comes from the Greek word “Delphis,” which translates to “womb,” leading to an interpretation of the meaning as “a fish with a womb.” Yet they aren’t fish at all, but mammals who breathe air, give birth to live young and nurse them with milk, and are warmblooded, maintaining a constant body temperature. They do have hair, but only when they are first born. It falls out within two weeks, and doesn’t grow again for the remainder of their lives. • Of the 43 species of dolphins in the world, 38 are marine dolphins, living in saltwater, and five are river dolphins. The marine dolphins live mainly in shallower water near coastlines in warmer locations, and are common in Southern California, Chile, the tip of South Africa, and the Gulf of Mexico. Yet they’ve been found from Nova Scotia to Norway. • The most well-known species is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Because of the design of their face, they always appear to be smiling. The Bottlenose is large, ranging from 10 to 14 feet long and weighing up to 1,100 pounds. Their size varies according to their location, with living in cooler bodies of water a larger size than those in warmer temperatures. • Dolphins come up for air every few minutes, only able to remain submerged for up to 4 ½ minutes without a breath. While traveling in their pods, each has a distinctive whistle that helps the others recognize them. • We’ve all seen photos of dolphins leaping high into the air. A dolphin can vault up to 20 feet into the air before splashing back into the water. It could be they are dislodging parasites such as sucker fish or barnacles, or to escape predators. • The number of a dolphin’s teeth varies from eight up to 250, with only one set of teeth for life. Consuming between 10 and 35 pounds of food each day, they use their teeth to catch their prey, but not to chew it, rather, they swallow their dinner whole. • As far as senses, they have excellent vision, both in and out of the water, with special corneas that adapt to both conditions. Although their ear openings are only small; the middle ear, is believed to let sound move to the inner ear via fat lobes located in the jaw and other bones in the skull. Their sense of smell is poor, due to the absence of olfactory nerves. • Dolphins are the second most intelligent animals, behind human beings. MRI scans of dolphin brains indicate a large brain with an intricate neocortex, and capable of experiencing emotions. They are highly trainable, and actually pass their knowledge on to fellow dolphins. They exhibit concern for other animals, staying and helping the injured, even saving the lives of humans in some cases. • Did you know that the orca killer whale is actually a member of the dolphin family, the largest member of Delphinidae category? • Living in the wild, a male dolphin will have a lifespan of 40 to 45 years, while a female can live to age 50.

“3 Day Rule”

While having lunch with a dear friend, he inspired me with his handling of tough events called the “3 day rule”. Day One: This is the day to catch your breath after getting the wind knocked out of you. Ask for God’s guidance as you begin to sort it out. It could come from the Bible, signs, other people or a combination of things to help comfort you. Day Two: This is the day to look at how and why the situation happened. If it was something that could have been prevented what can I learn from it and how can I make things better. If it was outside my control how can I use it to make me a better person. Day Three: This is the day to move on and put what happened behind you so it doesn’t trip you for what lies ahead. Put it on the shelf and keep it there to remind of where you came from. Thank you Ralph for your words of wisdom.

Home Instead Senior Care Proudly Presents

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

How Healthy Is It Where You Live?

--The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has unveiled a new online mapping tool to show the levels of health in various parts of the country. Medicare beneficiaries are grouped by geographic location, race, health outcomes, sex, age and more. Eighteen health conditions are defined, as well as use of hospitals and emergency rooms, rate of readmissions and mortality rates. The best feature is that the mapping tool can even be broken down into the county level of each state. While the map developers planned to use it to identify areas where there are problems (below-average health because of lack of access to health care, for example), the tool is also a good way for us to compare our own health to those around us and around the country. To use the map, go online to www. cms.gov and put Mapping Medicare Disparities Tool in the search box. Then click Get Started. Using the dropdown list, put in your parameters. Select year, state or county, condition, sex, age, race and more. At that point you have a choice: You can either click Download or mouse over the various states or counties, depending on which you selected. (If you chose the county level, you can expand the screen to make it easier to see.) For more help, you also can click the Quick Start Guide. Under Other Resources (below the Get Started button), look for County Health Rankings and Roadmaps, and click on your state. You’ll find rankings for your county for health factors and outcomes. If you haven’t retired and plan to move, this tool can help you decide if the areas you’ve considered living are more or less healthy than where you currently live.

t n te n o c ly n o e n li n O VETERANS POST by Freddy Groves

Eligibility by Phone If you’re a combat veteran, you no longer have to fill out and sign papers to sign up for health care. As of right now, you can do it by phone. This is part of the Department of Veterans Affairs push to get all incomplete applications of combat veterans reviewed and reworked. There are currently 31,000 combat veterans with incomplete applications. Other veterans will be able to enroll this way as of July 5, 2016. This now makes three ways to enroll. You can do it online, you can do it on paper with the VA Form 10-10 EZ. And now you can just pick up the phone. If you’ve enrolled since July 1, 2015, you’ve gotten extra goodies. You got a phone call from the Health Resource Center for one thing, welcoming you to the VA and introducing you to all that’s available to you, as well as information about resources and programs. You got a personal letter and handbook and help getting your first appointment scheduled. If you want to know more, call the

Health Eligibility Center Enrollment and Eligibility Division at 1-855-4888440. Additionally, if you’re one of the 545,000 veterans who currently have incomplete applications pending, you now have a year to complete the paperwork. (They also discovered, while hunting for those files, an additional 288,000 pending applications for veterans who are now deceased.) As part of the Veteran Enrollment Rework Project, the VA is required to notify you about pending and incomplete applications and to take another look to see if you should have actually been enrolled already. The “one year” meter starts running once they contact you. If you want to know more about VA benefits you also can call 1-877-2228387.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* “Got leftover cake? Freeze it!" At my daughter’s birthday party we had a really delicious cake, but almost half of it went uneaten. It seemed a shame to throw it away and too gluttonous to eat it all before it spoiled, so we decided to freeze it in slices. It froze perfectly, icing and all, and we were able to enjoy it several more times over the following month.” -- Amy in Florida * Early spring is a great time for garden clean-up chores. Remove dead or damaged limbs on trees and shrubs. Remove suckers at the base of plants. Spruce up your garden beds to get them ready for annuals. * “To make gluing easier when crafting, I pour an entire bottle of white school glue into a glass mason jar with lid. I use paintbrushes to do my paper crafts, as the glue spreads well with a brush. If I am unable to use a brush, I use a straw to capture glue and “drop” it on other projects. The straw makes it easier to get the glue into cracks or small spots as necessary. Just put a straw down in the glue, cover the open end with your finger, remove it from the jar and position the glue end of the straw where it needs to go, then remove your finger.” -- J. in Maryland Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
