TIDBITS EXPLORES ®
JULY IN HISTORY
by Kathy Wolfe All kinds of events have taken place in July over the years. This week, Tidbits cracks open the history books to examine some of them. • Michael J. Fox was 24 years old when the film “Back to the Future” was released on July 3, 1985. Fox starred as Marty McFly, a teenager who climbed into wacky scientist Doc Brown’s DeLorean DMC-12 sports car and traveled back 30 years in time, only to meet his future parents in high school. The film went on to be the highest-grossing film of the year, grossing over $380 million. Doc Brown’s DeLorean was powered by plutonium capable of achieving the “1.21 gigawatts” power required to travel through time. Did you know that only 9,000 DeLoreans were produced before the company ran out of money? About 6,500 of those are still around today. • In the midst of the Great Depression, in July of 1930, construction of Hoover Dam began. It took the next five years and the labor of 21,000 to complete the structure, with completion two years ahead of schedule and millions of dollars under budget. The dam provided for a huge increase in irrigated farming in the desert, as well as providing water for much of southern California. Today, the dam remains the second highest in the U.S., and the 18th highest in the world, and serves over a million people. Turn the page for more!

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • History was made in the world of medicine on July 25, 1978, when the world’s first “test tube baby,” Louise Joy Brown was born in Manchester, England. In November of the previous year, Lesley Brown, who had suffered from infertility for many years, underwent an experimental in vitro fertilization. Several years after the birth of Louise, Mr. and Mrs. Brown once again were parents of an IVF baby, Natalie. In 2006, Louise became a mother herself to a son conceived naturally. • George Herman “Babe” Ruth made his Major League Baseball debut on July 11, 1914 as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. After living in an orphanage, St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys, since age 7, at 19, Ruth was signed by the Baltimore Orioles, but was quickly sold to the Red Sox over the summer. He was part of three World Series championships during his tenure with the Sox. Just prior to the 1920 season, Sox owner Harry Frazee desired to finance a Broadway musical, and sold Ruth’s contract to the New York Yankees to obtain the money. Ironically, in 10 of the next 12 seasons with the Yankees, Ruth alone hit more home runs than the entire Red Sox team. This gave rise to the phrase “the Curse of the Bambino,” referring to the fact that the Red Sox did not win another World Series for 85 years. • In other baseball news, on July 20, 1976, slugger Hank Aaron hit his record 755th and final home run. The event occurred in Milwaukee County Stadium where Aaron played as a Milwaukee Brewer. California Angels pitcher Dick Drago threw the pitch to the 42-yearold Aaron. Aaron retired from baseball following the 1976 season after 23 years. His record remained in place until 2007 when it was broken by Barry Bonds.

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • Many of us think of the Salvation Army as merely a thrift store, or the bellringers at Christmas. The organization got its start in London in July of 1865 when preacher William Booth and his wife Catherine founded the Christian Mission, attempting to help those living in poverty. With 1,000 volunteers and 42 evangelists, Saturday - July 9, 2016 Booth’s team spread out across London, setting up soup kitchens and preaching the Gospel, and became known as the Serving Treats Serving Refreshments! “Hallelujah Army.” In 1878, the group and Beverages!

JULY IN HISTORY (continued): • Aviation history was made in July, 1938, when multi-millionaire Howard Hughes circumnavigated the globe in 91 hours, 14 minutes, and 10 seconds. He departed Long Island, New York, on July 10, with a crew of four aboard his Lockheed Super Electra Special, making his first stop in Paris. It was on to Moscow, Alaska, Minneapolis, and back to Long Island on July 14. The distance was approximately 14,800 miles, with an average speed for the flight of 206.1 mph. • On July 28, 1945, another airplane was in the news when a U.S. B-25 Mitchell military bomber crashed into New York City’s Empire State Building. The plane was flying from Massachusetts to LaGuardia Airport and due to heavy fog, it was re-routed to Newark, New Jersey Airport. As the bomber flew over Manhattan, suddenly the Chrysler Building came into view through the fog and the pilot swerved to miss it, which sent him straight into the side of the Empire State Building at the 79th floor. The jet fuel exploded and filled four floors of the building with flames, killing the three people on the plane and 11 within the building. The fact that it was a Saturday saved the lives of thousands. The engine flew through the building and landed in an apartment across the street. The building sustained an 18’ x 20’-foot hole, and $1 million in damages ($10.5 million in today’s dollars.) • Thirty-fourth U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower became the first president to ride in a helicopter on July 12, 1957. It soon became the new mode of transportation for short Presidential trips, safer and more efficient than the limousine motorcade.

Teacher: More than 200 years ago, our forefathers defeated the British in the Revolutionary War. Tommy: Wow! They must have been pretty strong, four men defeating a whole army! WOW, it's so hot out now that... the cows are giving evaporated milk, the chickens are laying hardboiled eggs, so farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs, you realize that asphalt has a liquid state, the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground, your car overheats before you drive it and you are now thinking about snow!

One of the most unusual creatures in the animal kingdom is the platypus, found only in one small part of the world. Check out these facts. • The strange-looking platypus has the appearance of a beaver with webbed feet, but with the flat bill of a duck. They measure about 20 inches from head to toe and are covered with thick, dense fur that keeps them warm while underwater. When the platypus was first discovered by Europeans in 1798 by Captain John Hunter, a sketch was made of the unusual animal and sent back to Britain. The scientists there believed it to be a hoax, refusing to believe its existence, stating that it was produced by a taxidermist who had sewn a duck’s beak and feet onto another animal. Even after a live specimen was brought to them, several still doubted its authenticity. • The platypus can only be found in the freshwater areas off the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia and around the island of Tasmania. They dwell in burrows dug into riverbanks that contain chambers connected by tunnels. • Although the semi-aquatic platypus is a mammal, it is an exception to the rule of mammals giving birth to live young. Female platypuses lay eggs instead, one of only two mammals to do so. This characteristic classifies them as monotremes. Female mammals also produce milk, but in the case of the platypus, the milk oozes out of ducts much like sweat glands onto specialized patches of skin, and their babies lap the milk off the skin. • It’s no surprise that with their webbed feet, platypuses are excellent swimmers and are able to stay underwater for up to 140 seconds. They paddle with their front feet and steer with their back feet and large beaverlike tail. Folds of skin cover their eyes and ears, and their noses have a waterproof seal for their underwater hunts. • Navigating across land is tough work for a platypus and requires 30% more energy than swimming. Their webbing retracts when they are on land, and their claws become more prominent. They move clumsily along on their knuckles in order to protect their webbing. • The carnivorous platypuses are bottom feeders, feeding along the muddy bottom of whatever body of water they inhabit. Much of these nocturnal creatures’ time is spent on the hunt, which can last 10 to 12 hours every day. The skin of its flexible, rubbery bill contains thousands of receptors that pick up electrical signals generated by their prey’s muscular contractions. Once the platypus locates its dinner, it scoops up insects, larvae, shellfish, and worms with its large bill and stores them in its cheek pouches for the swim to the surface. It also scrapes up bits of gravel from the bottom to aid in digestion. Since the platypus has no teeth, only grinding plates, the gravel helps mash their food into small pieces. The platypus also has no stomach, just an intestine and esophagus connected together. • The platypus’ secret weapon of defense against predators is a spur on its hind feet. While both males and females have the spur, only the male has a gland that produces a toxic venom that can easily kill a small animal and cause severe pain to humans.

● On July 9, 1777, New York elects Brig. Gen. George Clinton as the first governor of the independent state of New York. Clinton’s career was marked by his hatred of British loyalists, called Tories. He kept the public’s tax burden low by confiscating and selling land belonging to Tories to maintain state coffers. ● On July 7, 1865, Mary Surratt is executed for her role as a conspirator in Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Surratt’s boardinghouse, a few blocks from Ford’s Theatre, where Lincoln was murdered, served as the place where a group of Confederate supporters conspired to assassinate the president. ● On July 8, 1898, notorious con man “Soapy” Smith is murdered in Skagway, Alaska. Smith earned his nickname “Soapy” selling bars of soap wrapped in blue tissue paper. He promised crowds that a few lucky purchasers would find a $100 bill wrapped inside the $5 bars of soap. ● On July 11, 1960, novelty song “Alley Oop” tops the Billboard pop chart. Alley Oop was the name of a time-traveling caveman in a comic strip of the same name created in 1932 by cartoonist V.T. Hamlin. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
by Samantha Weaver ● If you head up to the top floor of the U.S. Supreme Court building, you’ll find a basketball court. It’s known, of course, as “the highest court in the land.” ● During the filming of the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” the dog that played Toto was paid $125 per week. In contrast, the actors who played the munchkins were paid $100 per week -- and their manager, Leo Singer, kept half of that. ● If you’re suffering from xanthodontia, don’t worry; a dentist can help whiten those yellow teeth.

Helping Hand TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE
The Best Thing for You Pt 2 Forgiveness Shakes off the Dirt
A farmer’s mule fell into a well. He had no way to get him out so he decided to bury him there. He dumped a truckload of dirt on top of the mule. The mule started snorting and kicking until he worked his way to the top of the pile. Truckload after truckload of dirt, the mule kept shaking it off until the dirt reached the top and he walked away from it. What was intended to bury him ended up helping him to come out on top. No matter how bad it looks or feels God will always provide a way out and He will use the piles of dirt to mature and complete you. The key to coming out on top is to forgive the dirt and shake it off or you will get buried. Forgiveness can’t change the past but it can change the future. Shake it off and walk away. pastorjimcoyle@yahoo.com
In commemoration of July as National Honey Month, Tidbits sweetens the pot with these facts about honey. • Honey is simply the condensed nectar of flower blossoms, the only food source produced by insects that humans eat. The sugary nectary secreted by the flowers attracts honey bees. The bees collect not only the nectar, but the flower’s pollen as well, depositing it at the next flower it visits, enabling the production of its seeds. The bee will visit between 50 and 100 flowers during one trip, all the while flapping its wings more than 180 times per second. • Back at the hive, the bee deposits its load of nectar that will be transformed into honey. A bee colony is home to between 30,000 and 60,000 bees, each with a lifespan of about 45 days over the summer. Two million flowers must be visited and 55,000 miles logged to make just 1 lb. of honey, but the average worker bee will make just 1/16 of a teaspoon of honey during its lifetime. A strong colony of bees can store hundreds of pounds with just a few days. • The color, flavor, and aroma of the honey are dependent on the type of flower that was visited by the bee. Monofloral honey is made from the nectar of just one type of plant, such as clover, orange blossom, buckwheat, lavender, dandelion, and honeysuckle. Polyfloral honey is also known as wildflower honey, and is made from the nectar of many different types of plants. Buckwheat honey is thick and dark with a very strong flavor, while alfalfa honey is almost white, with a delicate mild flavor. • Honey is an ancient food, as evidenced by a cave painting unearthed in Spain showing people collecting honey from a bee’s nest. The figures are carrying baskets or gourds and are using ropes to reach the nest. The ancient Romans valued honey so much that it was used as a form of currency, using it to pay their taxes. Egyptians sacrificed honey to their gods. The body of Alexander the Great is said to have been preserved in a coffin full of honey. Sealed containers of honey were found in King Tut’s tomb that were still edible after more than 2,000 years. Greeks and Romans used honey as a natural healing medicine, and it was frequently spread on wounds to promote healing. • Because honey is a symbol for the new year according to Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashanah celebrations include apples dipped in honey to symbolize a sweet new year. • There are 64 calories in one tablespoon of honey, compared to sugar at 46 calories, but because honey is sweeter, we tend to use less. Honey never spoils because its high acidic level creates a very low pH environment, making it unfavorable for bacteria to grow. Raw honey contains all the pollen and enzymes that are destroyed by heat in processed honey. Filtered and processed honey will remain liquid much longer, while raw honey crystalizes quickly. • It’s believed that honey, with its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties is a powerful aid to the immune system. Many claim it improves digestion and soothes sore throats. But as beneficial as honey can be, it should not be fed to infants less than one year old. Honey can contain a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum, which can cause infant botulism, a condition that can cause paralysis and even death.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
---
According to U.S. News & World Report, when it comes to travel, 70 percent of seniors plan a vacation in the next year, and we’re responsible for 80 percent of luxury travel. AARP has its own research about how and when seniors travel. It says we take four to five trips per year, with the top reasons being to get away from everyday life or spend time with friends and family. Mostly we want to relax, generally in the three warmer seasons of the year. Where do we go when we travel? To the South or West. What do we want on the other end? A city to visit and explore. What do we take with us? Here’s where our age is showing: Medications top the list, followed by comfortable shoes, even before we get to cameras and sunglasses. In line with wanting to relax, computers are far down the list. Why don’t we go, if we want to? First on the list, not unexpectedly, is the cost of travel, followed by the state of our health. No matter when or where you want to go, if you’re going to travel, ask about a senior discount. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell when the label “senior” comes into play. Is it when AARP sends us our first membership solicitation when we’re 50 years old? Is it 55, or when we first dare to ask about a senior discount? Is it when we apply for Social Security (which can be anywhere from 62 to 70)? Be sure to ask anyway; you’ll likely save money. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Did you know that maintaining proper pressure in your automobile’s tires can improve your gas mileage by about 3 percent? You can also get better mileage by keeping the speedometer at 60 miles per hour. Every 10 miles per hour above 60 compares to adding about 50 cents to the price per gallon of gas.
