TIDBITS® SOAKS UP SOME

RAYS

by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits focuses on famous folks named Ray. Follow along and soak up some “Rays”! • Dubbed “The High Priest of Soul,” Ray Charles blended the musical genres of rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues into a style all his own. He was born Raymond Charles Robinson to sharecropper parents in Georgia, and by age three, he had a love of music. A local café owner regularly played boogie woogie on an old piano and taught young Ray how to play. At four years old, Ray began losing his sight as the result of glaucoma, and by seven, was completely blind. He was enrolled in the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind and there began to develop his talent, where he played Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. At 15, he was an orphan. At 22, he landed a record contract with Atlantic Records where his long list of hits began. In 1960, at age 30, his fame skyrocketed with “Georgia on My Mind” and four Grammy Awards. Although he battled heroin addiction for 16 years, he kicked the habit in 1966 at age 36. Ray Charles sang at two Presidential inaugurations, and “Rolling Stone” magazine has ranked him at #2 on their list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” turn the page for more!

• Famous chef Rachael Ray grew up in the restaurant business with restaurant manager parents. But her first job in New York City was working at the candy counter at Macy’s, where she worked her way up to manager of the fresh foods department. It was while working at a gourmet market in Albany, New York, that she conceived the idea of “30 Minute Meals” for customers who were unenthusiastic about cooking. The local television station asked her to host a weekly segment during the newscast, which led to a best-selling book and a contract with the “Today Show.” Five years later, she debuted her own Emmy Award-winning talk show. • Sugar Ray Robinson is ranked one of history’s greatest professional boxers, with 108 knockouts in 200 pro bouts. His 91-fight unbeaten streak ranks third longest in boxing history. Muhammad Ali referred to Robinson as “the king, the master, my idol.” Sugar Ray wasn’t really a Ray at all, but was born Walker Smith, Jr. in 1921. When he retired from boxing in 1965, his record was 173 – 19 – 2, and he had never been physically knocked out in a fight. He was also owner of a fashionable restaurant, Sugar Ray’s, a hangout of Frank Sinatra, Joe Louis, Lena Horne, and Jackie Gleason. Unfortunately, at the time of his retirement, Robinson had spent all of the $4 million in career earnings. He appeared in a few minor film roles, but health problems plagued him, and he passed away from complications of diabetes and Alzheimers Disease at age 67.

RAYS (continued): • Sugar Ray Robinson was followed by another pro boxer, Sugar Ray Leonard, born in 1956. Leonard’s mother named him after her favorite singer, Ray Charles. Leonard was the first boxer to earn more than $100 million in the ring and was named the 1980s Boxer of the Decade. His career included eight world titles. His first big victory was the National Golden Gloves Lightweight Championship in 1973. Leonard was chosen for the 1976 U.S. Olympic Team, a team that is considered the greatest boxing team in the Olympics’ history. After capturing a gold medal that year, Leonard intended to study business administration at the University of Maryland. However, financial difficulties forced him into the professional arena, and in 1977 he made his professional debut, being paid $40,044 for the evening’s work. Leonard retired in 1982, then made a comeback, retired again in 1984, followed by another comeback. The action was repeated in 1987 and 1991, with his final retirement in 1997, following the only time he was ever knocked out. He has been a TV boxing analyst for ESPN, a television and movie actor, and contestant on Dancing with the Stars. He is also deeply involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Singer-songwriter Ray Stevens is known for his humorous novelty hits such as “Gitarzan,” “Ahab the Arab,” and “The Streak.” Born Harold Ray Ragsdale, Stevens grabbed five Grammy nominations and a win in 1970 for his serious recording “Everything is Beautiful.” But his most famous hit is “The Streak,” Number One on the charts in 1974, a song about that decade’s fad of running nude in public. Those familiar with the song will recall its famous line, “Don’t look, Ethel!” • Businessman Ray Kroc didn’t actually found the McDonald’s hamburger chain, but he did build it into the world’s most successful fast food restaurant. Kroc had been involved in many different undertakings before becoming involved in the hamburger business in his 50s. At age 15, he lied about his age to begin serving as a Red Cross ambulance driver in World War I. It was here he met Walt Disney, who would remain his lifelong friend. After the war he became a paper cup salesman, a pianist, and a radio DJ. Kroc met the McDonald brothers, Dick and Mac, when he was working as a milkshake machine salesman. Peddling a machine that mixed five shakes at a time, he sold several machines to the brothers’ restaurant chain. The ambitious Kroc worked as a franchising agent for them in exchange for a percentage of profits, and at age 53, he became president of the corporation. At age 59, he was the owner, buying out the brothers for $2.7 million. When he died at age 81, McDonald’s was an $8 billion corporation with 7,500 locations in 31 countries. Not bad for a man without a high school diploma! With a personal worth of $500 million, Kroc was also the owner of the San Diego Padres baseball team for the final 10 years of his life. Time magazine included Ray Kroc in their list of the “Top 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.” Today, the chain has 36,000 locations in more than 100 countries. • “I guess to be an entrepreneur you have to have a large ego, enormous pride, and an ability to inspire others to follow your lead.” - Ray Kroc

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: RAYS In keeping with the theme of “rays,” Tidbits goes underwater to gather info on the beautiful and unusual creatures known as rays. • The scientific classification Batoidea includes the cartilaginous fish known as rays. The flat-bodied rays have a boneless skeleton consisting of a tough elastic material. The flat body enables the ray to conceal itself while seeking out its prey. The ray stirs up the sand and hides beneath it. • About 600 species of rays exist, with varying kinds found in every ocean around the world, from the warm tropics to the freezing cold waters in the Arctic. Many species are closely related to the shark. The largest species is the manta ray, with its central disc measuring up to 29.5 feet wide. It also has the largest brain of all fish. More than 300 rows of tiny teeth line the lower jaw. A manta consumes about 60 lbs. of plankton and fish every day. Found only in the warmer tropical waters, it can live for 25 years. It is completely harmless to humans. • A ray’s mouth is on the underside of its body, and its eyes are on top. Because the ray can’t use its eyes to seek its prey, electro-sensors help them detect electrical charges emitted by the clams, oysters, shrimp, crabs, and mussels it feeds on. • The smallest ray is a tiny electric ray measuring just 4 inches across and weighing only 1 lb.. • Electric rays are capable of producing an electric charge from 8 to 220 volts. They hide in the sand, waiting for their prey, which they stun and capture. The genus Torpedo, one of the 69 species of electric rays, gave us the name for the warfare device known as the torpedo, a word that translates from the Latin torpere, meaning to be stiffened or paralyzed.

• There are no reported human fatalities from electric rays. As early as 46 AD, a Roman physician recorded the use of torpedo fish for the treatment of headaches and gout. • Stingrays have a barbed stinger measuring about 14 inches in length on their tail used for self-defense. Two grooves contain venom, concentrated under a thin layer of skin. They are not hostile creatures and don’t aggressively attack humans, and normally swim away; however, they will sting if stepped on. A sting usually causes pain, swelling, and muscle cramps, but is very rarely life-threatening to humans. Usually, the stinger breaks off in the wound, and surgery is sometimes required to remove it. • It’s not unusual for large stingrays to reach a weight of 790 lbs.. Baby stingrays are born fully developed, emerging as a little adult, and begin to take care of themselves as soon as they’re born. • Stingrays prefer warmer, shallower, near-the-shore waters. • In ancient Greece, the venom of stingrays was used by dentists as an anesthetic. • The death of wildlife expert Steve Irwin occurred in 2006 when a stingray barb pierced him in the chest, puncturing his thoracic wall, while Irwin was filming an underwater documentary film. • A group of stingrays is known as a “fever.”

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE “G.P.S.” “Guide thru Personal Storms” (Pt 1) In our journey through life we are always in one of three seasons on the road we travel. We are either driving into storm, driving in a storm, or driving out of a storm. The duration of the storm, whether we are going in, in, or out is dependent on the event or circumstance. The season could last for minutes, hours, days, weeks, or years. The two common threads to understanding all three seasons is that we are always surrounded by storms and we are driving. Picture yourself as an automobile. There are all kinds of elements outside our vehicle that will affect our drive. There are also all kinds of circumstances and events on the inside of our vehicle that will affect our drive. GPS helps us identify the things we can control and the things we can’t control. Understanding the things we can control can help us stay between the lines and out of the ditch. Being aware of the things we can’t control will help guide us through the stressors of life that bring anxieties, worry, tension, pressure, strain, trauma, and hassle. I have spent a lifetime of offering roadside assistance along with tending to my own flat tires and personal ditch experiences. Whether offering assistance or needing assistance, the GPS concordances of guiding your thoughts, guiding your day, and guiding your life are great tools to help you navigate.

NON-CELEBRITY TWINS We’ve all heard of celebrity twins like the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the Property Brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, and Barbara and Jenna Bush. But how about those sets in which one is famous and the other is not? In honor of Twins’ Days Festival, August 5 – 7, Tidbits focuses on well-known folks with a non-famous twin. • Brazilian model, actress, and producer Gisele Bundchen is the world’s highestpaid model in the world, and the 16th richest woman in the entertainment industry. Bundchen, worth an estimated $360 million, married New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2009. What about her equally-beautiful twin sister Patricia? Patricia, five minutes younger than her sister, tried modeling for a short time, but prefers to stay in the background serving as the manager of Gisele’s career. Gisele claims she owes her success to Patricia’s exceptional management skills. • Vin Diesel is best known for his work in “The Fast and the Furious” film series. Raised in New York City, Diesel was born Mark Sinclair Vincent, and has a twin brother named Paul Vincent. Paul remains out of the spotlight, working as a film editor, and is rarely photographed in public. • Actress Scarlett Johansson, star of “The Avengers,” has a twin brother Hunter, three minutes younger than his celebrity sister. Hunter did appear with Scarlett in the 1996 film “Manny & Lo” at age 12, but since then has been out of the limelight, with the exception of being listed in People magazine’s list of “Hot Bachelors” in 2008. Hunter seems more interested in politics, having worked as a community and campaign organizer. He also joined his sister in a fundraiser for victims of 2012’s Hurricane Sandy.” • Iowa native Ashton Kutcher got his big acting break in 1998, landing a role in “That 70s Show.” While Ashton weighed in at 10.5 lbs. at birth, his fraternal twin Michael was a much smaller 4 lbs.. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age three, and plagued with heart problems, Michael underwent a heart transplant at age 13. Today, in addition to serving as a spokesperson for an advocacy organization that researches cerebral palsy, Michael, who has a business management and marketing degree, is in the business of selling retirement plans. • Swedish-born actress Ingrid Bergman of “Casablanca” fame gave birth to twin daughters Isabella and Isotta Ingrid Rossellini in Rome in 1952. Isabella followed in her mother’s acting footsteps at age 24, along with a modeling career. Her fraternal twin Isotta chose an academic career, and became a professor of Italian literature at New York University. • We know Kiefer Sutherland for his role as Jack Bauer on the hit TV series “24”. Born in London to actor Donald Sutherland and his wife Shirley Douglas, Kiefer has a twin sister, Rachel, who is also involved in the entertainment industry. Rachel works behind the scenes in post-production and as a casting assistant for movies and television. • Several celebrities were twins for a very short time, with siblings who died at birth, including Elvis Presley who had a twin brother Jesse. Others include Andy Garcia, Liberace, and Ed Sullivan.

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Know the Signs of Senior Abuse More than 20,000 calls are made every day to abuse hotlines. Unfortunately, only 1 in 14 instances of abuse are reported, so the number of unreported cases is huge. Domestic abuse can include any of the following if the abuser: Prevents you from going to work or to see friends or family. Takes money or blocks access to it. Destroys property. Becomes physically violent. Makes threats. Belittles your opinions and makes all the decisions. Denies any abuse is happening and shifts blame. Has a bad temper that explodes and makes you afraid. However, because of frailty or age, seniors can be at the mercy of caregivers or family members and abuse also can include: Being denied food or medication, or overmedicating. Being forced to give money to the abuser. (Seniors, always go into the bank to conduct business so the tellers can get to know you. Bank tellers can be of help if a senior continues to come in to make large withdrawals.) Physical or emotional abuse. Use of physical force, including restraints or confinement. Intentional neglect. Seniors, ask yourself: Are you giving away money when you don’t want to? Are you constantly afraid and feel you’re walking on eggshells, fearing a reaction? Are you afraid to ask for your medication or food? Are you blamed for things that aren’t your fault? Are you humiliated or ignored or confined? Have you been hit or shoved? If you answered yes to even one of these questions, there is help. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Call 911 and say you’re being abused. Someone will help you. If you have no phone, flag down the mail carrier or newspaper delivery person or anyone who comes to your door. Tell them you need help. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

● Unless you live in a snowy mountain town, you’ve probably never heard of skijoring. In what is probably the most popular contemporary version of this sport, a skier is pulled by one or more dogs wearing a harness that allows the dogs to be directed. The racecourse can be short, for sprints, or as long as 270 miles in cross-country competitions. Equestrian skijoring is rather more like water-skiing: A horse with a rider pulls a skier on a towline through a series of jumps and obstacles. Equestrian skijoring was a demonstration sport at the 1928 Winter Olympics in Switzerland. ● Those who study such things say that honey is the only food that doesn’t spoil. So, next time you run across some 3,000-year-old honey, feel free to chow down. ● At a Mets game at Citi Field, a woman lost a gold tooth down a toilet, and she decided to reach in after it. Unfortunately for her, the restrooms there use a high-vacuum system, and she was pulled in up to her armpit. Unable to extricate herself, she had to spend several hours in this undignified position until a plumber could come to her aid. (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.
