TIDBITS® MAKES MUSIC WITH by Kathy Wolfe Did you know that April is International Guitar Month? This week, Tidbits is studying up on the best-selling musical instrument in the world, played by more than 50 million people worldwide. • The guitar is a chordophone, an instrument that makes its sound via vibrating strings stretched between two points. The word “acoustic” refers to a guitar that is not electronically amplified. An acoustic guitar produces its sounds by transmitting the strings’ vibration to the air, with the sound waves resonating though the guitar’s body. A soundboard, a thin sheet of wood, is placed under the strings to increase the resonance. Electric guitars have electromagnetic pickups that convert the strings’ vibrations into electrical signals, which are fed into an amplifier. • The guitar’s origins date back around 4,000 years. The oldest known image of an instrument with a guitar’s feature is 3,300 years old, a stone carving of a Hittite minstrel in Turkey. A Cairo, Egypt, archaeological museum is home to a 3,500-year-old guitar that belonged to an Egyptian singer named Har-Mose. His instrument was made of cedarwood with a rawhide soundboard and three strings. Turn the page for more!

• Ancient stringed instruments used tortoise shells or hollowed-out gourds, with a bent stick for a neck, and strings of animal gut or silk. • In the early days, a guitar was defined as having “a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides.” • The word “guitar” is derived from the Spanish word, guitarra, which is a very large six-string acoustic bass played in mariachi bands. Other ancient terms from various languages include gitarre, qitara, cithara, kithara, and sihtar. • The neck of the guitar is comprised of the headstock (at the end of the neck), the fretboard (the fingerboard), the frets, which are metal strips embedded on the fretboard, the nut (a small strip of hard material at the junction of the headstock and neck), the tuners, and the truss rod, a metal rod along the inside of the neck. • Frets are located along the neck at exact points that divide the scale into half-step intervals. Which fret the string is pressed against determines the note’s pitch.

• Decorative materials are usually set into the exterior of the guitar, such as dots on the fretboard to mark the positions or around the sound hole of acoustic guitars. These are known as inlays and are frequently made of mother of pearl. Inlays around the sound hole are called rosettes and serve as a type of reinforcement to the opening. • Acoustic guitars might be classical or flamenco versions. The classical guitar has a wide, flat neck to enable musicians to execute scales and arpeggios more efficiently. Strings are usually made of nylon. Cont'd next page!

strings Word Power Answer on Page 5

(cont'd):

• A standard guitar usually has six strings, typically tuned from a low E to a high E, with A, D, G, and B in between. The 12-string guitar, used in folk music, blues, and rock and roll, has six courses of two strings each, usually made of steel. The bass guitar has four strings, turned to E-A-D-G, an octave below the lowest four strings of the six-string.

• Les Paul came up with the idea of an electric guitar in the late 1930s. He wired a phonograph needle to his acoustic guitar and connected it to a radio speaker to amplify the sound. Unhappy with the hollow-body guitar, he designed a solid-body one from a cast-off railroad tie, an instrument with less feedback and a richer sound because of the wood’s mass. He nicknamed it “The Log,” and in 1940, the Epiphone guitar factory helped him produce a more attractive version with curved sides and an Epiphone fretboard. The Gibson Les Paul was first sold in 1952, and they have gone on to manufacture 100 different variations of Les Paul models. • In 1946, a southern California inventor named Leo Fender founded a new guitar company (although he was a saxophonist, not a guitarist!). In 1951, the company introduced a new solid-body guitar that would become known as the Telecaster. (It was first called the Broadcaster, but this was a conflict with a drum kit with the same name.) They also unveiled a brand new instrument, the electric bass, allowing those who played the upright bass to play a more compact instrument, rather than the cumbersome upright. The Stratocaster came along in 1954, created from ash wood. In 1956, the wood was changed to alder, which continues to be used today. In 1957, Buddy Holly and the Crickets made their television debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” That was also the television debut of the Stratocaster as Holly belted out “That’ll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue.” Cont'd next page!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver * It was early 20th-century financier, philanthropist and political consultant Bernard Baruch who made the following sage observation: “Millions of people saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one to ask why.” * You might be surprised to learn that beloved American musician Johnny Cash wrote more than just songs; in 1953, before he started his music career, Cash wrote a science-fiction tale called “The Holografik Danser.” * According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are at least 350 languages spoken in American homes. * Those who study such things say that lightning flashes 100 to 125 times every second worldwide. * Historians say that the romance between Cleopatra, Ptolemaic Egypt’s last active pharaoh, and Roman statesman Julius Caesar was something of a May-December romance: She was 21 and he was 54.

• Famous Fender guitar players include Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Jimmy Page, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and John Mayer. Artists who have chosen Gibson have included Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Bob Marley, Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, and Joe Walsh. • The Fender factory manufactures about 90,000 strings a day, equaling about 20,000 miles in length, enough to circle the world. • In 2004, Eric Clapton sold his favorite guitar, a Stratocaster nicknamed Blackie at Christie’s Auction House in New York to raise funds for an alcohol and drug treatment center he had founded in 1997, the Crossroads Centre Antigua. The instrument fetched $959,500. • In 1998, a devastating tornado struck Nashville, Tennessee, felling a giant 275-year-old poplar tree that stood on the grounds of the plantation of 7th U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage. The Gibson Company built 188 guitars out of the old tree, inlaid with the name “Old Hickory” (Jackson’s nickname) and pictures of the president and his home. The first Old Hickory was donated to the Smithsonian Institute, and proceeds from the sale of the remainder were donated to support restoration of The Hermitage. • Some electric guitars have a lever attached to the bridge or tailpiece to enable the musician to quickly vary the tension and length of the strings to produce a vibrato or pitch bend effect. This accessory is referred to as a tremolo bar, or more commonly, a whammy bar. • The C.F. Martin guitar company was established in 1833 and to this day, remains in the hands of the Martin family, with the great-great-great-grandson of the founder as its current CEO.

Sometimes it takes more than a prescription and behavioral therapy to control the symptoms of PTSD. The answer to the struggles with stress and depression faced by too many veterans may be as simple as a guitar lesson. Guitars For Veterans was started in 2006 by a guitar teacher and one of his students. Co-founder Dan Van Buskirk was a Vietnam Marine with PTSD, and Patrick Nettesheim had taught guitar for 30 years. It was a perfect match, and for Van Buskirk, a way to find peace. After taking some instruments to a Department of Veterans Affairs rehab unit to hand around, and seeing the positive reaction, the pair started going back to give lessons. Guitars for Vets was born and has grown to include 60 chapters in 30 states. G4V has given more than 20,000 lessons to veterans and over 2,000 new guitars. Veterans who want to take part in the guitar-lessons program need to be referred by their local VA. They’ll be loaned a guitar and given free weekly lessons. Once the 10-lesson program is over, the veteran will receive his or her own new acoustic guitar and accessories. Monthly group meetings follow. G4V’s growth has been phenomenal, but they haven’t done it alone. If you can teach guitar (and can pass a VA background check), consider volunteering or even starting a new chapter in your area. Or you can donate to this very worthy cause. Consider this: $200 will send a veteran through the whole program. To learn more, check the website at www.guitars4vets.org. If you (or a veteran you know) are in need of the kind of healing that pills don’t provide, look into joining. For more information, scroll down the website for a list of local chapters.

* On April 30, 1927, the first women’s federal prison opens in Alderson, West Virginia, to house all women serving federal sentences of more than a year. Most were imprisoned for drug and alcohol charges imposed during Prohibition. * On May 1, 1931, President Herbert Hoover officially dedicates New York City’s Empire State Building, pressing a button from the White House to turn on the building’s lights. Hoover’s gesture was symbolic; while he remained in Washington, D.C., someone else flicked the switches in New York. * On April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin in McLean, Virginia. Children in the U.S., Canada and Finland took part in the double-blind trials, whereby neither the patient nor attending doctor knew if the inoculation was the vaccine or a placebo. * On April 28, 1967, boxing champion Muhammad Ali refuses to be inducted into the U.S. Army and is immediately stripped of his heavyweight title. Ali, a Muslim, cited religious reasons for his decision to forgo military service. * On April 25, 1989, James Richardson walks out of a Florida prison 21 years after being wrongfully convicted of killing his seven children. Special prosecutor Janet Reno agreed to the release after evidence showed that the conviction resulted from misconduct by the prosecutor. * On April 29, 1992, a jury in Los Angeles acquits four police officers who had been charged with using excessive force in arresting black motorist Rodney King. The verdict enraged the black community, prompting three days of widespread rioting, arson and looting.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS:

Let’s observe Save the Elephant Day on April 16 by focusing on the facts about this pachyderm. • There are two species of elephants, African and Asian. The African elephants are the larger, and can reach a height of 13 feet head to toe and weight up to 14,000 lbs. The smaller Asian variety grow to a height of 9.8 feet, weighing up to 11,000 lbs. • The African elephants, the largest of all land mammals, have two subspecies, the savannah and the forest, with the savannah breed dwelling in the grasslands south of the Sahara Desert and the forest elephants inhabiting the rainforests of western Africa. Asian elephants are found in India, Sri Lanka, China, and Southeast Asia. • You can tell the difference between the two species by looking at the ears, since the African’s are much larger. Its skin is also much more wrinkled than its Asian counterpart. The African elephant’s trunk has two “fingers” at the end of the trunk, enabling it to pick things up, while the Asian breed has just one “finger.” • The elephant’s trunk contains eight major muscles on each side, and another 150,000 portions of muscles throughout this unusual appendage. Although there are no bones in the trunk, it’s strong enough to push down trees, yet nimble enough to pick up a piece of grass. The elephant uses the trunk to drink, with water sucked partway up the trunk. The animal then tilts its head back, emptying the trunk into its mouth. • The diet of the herbivorous elephant consists of grasses, leaves, fruits, and bark. This pachyderm spends about 16 hours a day eating, and can consume over 400 pounds of food a day. • An elephant’s ivory tusks are actually its incisors, the only incisors it has. The animal also uses tusks to defend itself, to dig for water and food, and for lifting. An elephant’s first tusks present at birth fall out after a year, similar to human’s baby teeth. The tusks are about 12 inches when they fall out, and the replacements grow throughout the elephant’s life. In addition to tusks, an elephant also has four molars about the size of a brick, two up and two down, that weigh about 5 lbs. each. • Although the elephant’s ears are very large, it has a poor sense of hearing. Its eyesight is also quite weak. • A herd of elephants is led by the oldest female of the group. While the females all stick together, adult males enjoy wandering on their own. The gestation period is 22 months and a litter will consist of just one calf, with more than one a very rare occurrence. The baby calf weighs nearly 250 lbs. at birth and will gain 2 to 3 lbs. every day for its first year. It won’t be weaned until it is almost three years old. • The elephant population is on the decline. At the turn of the 20th century, a few million African elephants occupied their habitat, and about 100,000 of the Asian variety. The African population has plummeted to between 450,000 and 700,000, and there are an estimated 35,000 – 40,000 wild Asian elephants remaining. Their lifespan can be up to 70 years.

• In 1802, at the urging of Robert Livingston, U.S. minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop. • 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 COMMERCIAL transporting passengers FOR ALL YOUR OR INDUSTRIAL PAINTING & COATING to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton NEEDS subsequently formed andRapids, led a IA company 4003 J Street SW Cedar 52404 offering services on six major rivers and the E-mail: dabunch@qwest.net Chesapeake Bay. 319-399-1735 • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. 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.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Social Security Strategies Change

--Starting in May 2016, there are some changes to Social Security that will eliminate strategies seniors have used to maximize benefits. Unlike what some doom-mongers have said, Social Security isn’t going away, our benefits aren’t being cut ... there’s nothing radical going on here. Tucked into the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was language that covers three strategies many of us have used in collecting Social Security: 1) File and suspend -- In this strategy, the full retirement-age spouse (age 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954) filed for benefits and then immediately suspended them. The other spouse then claimed spousal benefits while the initial benefits accrued for years at an 8 percent annual increase. No more. Now if one spouse files, he or she must take those benefits or the other spouse can’t claim spousal benefits. 2) Restricted application -- In this strategy, the retirement-age spouse filed for spousal benefits, but didn’t collect his or her own benefits, letting the personal benefits sit for years and accrue. Per the new rules, you can claim one or the other, spousal or personal benefits, but not both. You get the larger of the two, with no changing back and forth, and no deferring benefits until age 70. 3) Suspended benefits -- In this strategy, the recipient filed and then immediately suspended payments. If these benefits were suddenly needed down the road, he or she could collect them in a lump sum, but not at the higher monthly rate that the extra time would have afforded. Per the new rules, there will be no lump-sum payment. Monthly payment will be made at a higher rate. If your future retirement plans included any of the above strategies, consult with your financial adviser about alternative options. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

* For smoothie prep, we buy a large tub of plain yogurt. Then we portion it out in ice-cube trays to freeze. Once frozen, pop the yogurt cubes out and bag them with smoothie ingredients -- fruits, veggies, etc. You have only to dump the bag in the blender and add a little bit of water, and you’re drinking breakfast! -- D. in New Hampshire * To get great slices of avocado, cut in half around the pit. Then slice or dice your avocado in the skin. Push gently on the middle of the avocado half to turn the skin inside out and free the slices. * Remove burned-on food from your pans with baking soda. Soak in hot water, and add a healthy scoop of baking soda to the soak water. Then scrub to remove. Add more baking soda for tougher stains. * Use small stick-on hooks inside cabinet doors for oven mitts and rarely used accessories. You can even hang a zippertop baggie from the underside of an outof-the-way cabinet shelf. I do this for my specialty cake-making supplies. They are hanging from the top of a high cabinet -out of the way, but at the ready. -- R.W. in North Carolina * Tucking away winter coats and sweatshirts? For more closet storage, double-hang. On a sturdy hanger, tuck a thinner jacket or long-sleeved shirt into a bulky coat! Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
