THE ORIGINAL MODEL
• The first Ford Model T left the Ford Motor Company factory in Detroit, Michigan, on September 27, 1908. Within ten years, over half of all cars sold in America were the Ford Model T. • By 1914, Ford’s mass production techniques allowed the company to turn out 300,000 cars per year using only 13,000 workers compared to 66,350 workers at all the other car companies who collectively turned out only 280,000 cars. • The Model T was the first car that the common man could own. It was low-priced, reliable, and easy to repair. It could be hitched up to pump water, saw wood, chop silage, or generate electricity. With a change of wheels, it could double as a tractor. It operated as a pick-up truck, hay wagon, taxi, or fire engine. • The Model T started out priced at $850 in 1908, then dropped to $360 and later went down to $290 in 1925 (equal to about $4000 today). • It had a 20-horsepower, four cylinder engine and could travel about 45 mph, getting up to 20 miles per gallon. From 1908 till the end of production in 1927, over 15 million Model T Fords were made. turn the page for more!

• Ford once said, “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” Black paint was the only kind that would go through the spray nozzles easily and dry quickly. Finally, Pierre DuPont put his best scientists on the problem. DuPont’s scientists worked hard for months without success. • They were working in labs in New Jersey, where they shared a floor with other DuPont chemists who were trying to invent a better celluloid film. In the 1920s, movie films had a habit of disintegrating when they got hot. • One day, the celluloid researchers had just finished mixing a 55-gallon drum of cellulose when the electricity went off. The power stayed off for three days. The drum of cellulose was left outside in the hot sun, forgotten. The scientists, remembering the mixture later, called the paint people over to the drum. “Hey, you wanna see 55 gallons of cellulose goo?” But the paint scientists were intrigued to see that it had turned into a plastic syrup. They’d tried everything else in their paint guns— why not try this, too? It worked! Today you can have a car in any color you like because the lights went out in New Jersey.
FAST FACT • You can’t sell black cars in India, where black is an unlucky color. Red stands for Communism and can’t be used on cars in many anti-Communist countries. In Japan maroon is reserved for the emperor and can’t be used on cars used by the common people. Yellow is the color of mourning in Japan and that’s why only hearses are painted yellow.

• In 1856 William Rand founded a small printing shop in Chicago, specializing in publishing guidebooks, directories, and railroad schedules. Shortly afterwards, Rand hired Andrew McNally, and eventually made him a partner, naming the company Rand McNally. Their first maps showed railroad routes throughout the U.S. and Canada. They then branched out into globes and atlases of the world. • In 1917 Rand McNally published the first highway maps of the U.S. after inventing the system of naming the highways with numbers, a system that is still followed today. They later published “Goode’s World Atlas”, named after the editor of the book which became the standard geography text in schools. • Today, Rand McNally offers travel planning software, street atlas programs, a trucking route database, downloadable maps and directions, and GPS units. The company, headquartered in Skokie, Illinois, employs about 1,200 people.

• After World War II, when American personnel were inspecting Germany, they examined the plant where Volkswagens were made. The Germans offered the factory to help pay for war damages. American officials scoffed at the ugly little Beetle car, saying it would never sell. The Germans kept their factory, and they kept producing VWs. By 1972 the Beetle was the best-selling single model ever manufactured. • The VW beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. Over 21 million were produced, surpassing the number of Ford Model T’s and making it the most popular vehicle ever sold in the world. • Today VW is the largest automaker in Germany and Europe. • VW invented the first windshield washer in 1961. • In 1965 the six VW plants in Germany contained a total length of 135 miles of continuous conveyor belts.

John Lennon once wrote the lyrics, “Come together, right now... over me.”. That Beatles song was running through my head when I sat down to think of the right words to express what was on my mind today. It’s Sunday, September 25, 2016... just a day or two before Linn County is to have flood waters invading our area again. While it is too early to see what the aftermath will entail, there is no doubt that the river will overflow and we will be dealing with a lot of water again. This is where the word ‘Community’ pops up. What is the true meaning of this word? We have all heard it before, but rarely do we get to see how important a community can be until an event occurs to bring a community together. It originates from the latin word ‘Commūnitās’, which is defined as: ‘The sense of sharing and intimacy that develops among persons who experience liminality as a group.’. That’s a mouthful, but it boils down to ‘folks helping folks in the time of need’. Linn County, specifically Cedar Rapids, has been able to empower itself against nature with the outpouring of a community that came together to help it’s fellow neighbors... whether they be strangers or friends. So many businesses were devastated by floods just a mere 8 years ago, and nobody wanted to see them struggle again so severely. Luckily, we learned a little bit when it comes to preparing for such a potential disaster – and this time, the community was ready, willing and able to fight back. I think everyone in this area is proud with how much help was given to get sandbags filled, transported, and placed in preparation for the flood. People from all over did what they could to help out the community. There were numerous times when total strangers stopped their vehicle, hopped out and gave a hand moving sandbags into place for businesses – people who may have never once visited that business, but willing to do what they could to make sure it survived. When the waters subside, the aftermath will be figured out, fixed, and life will return to normal as soon as humanly possible. But a community doesn’t just disappear once the event has passed... at least it shouldn’t. I want to see that sense of community continue to shine bright in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding areas. When those businesses affected by the flood get their doors back open, inventory returned to the shelves and employees back in place... let’s make sure they continue to thrive! While they survived the flood, every day their store was closed affected their ability to survive financially... and we can make sure that they not only survive, but thrive! The Newbo area, the Czech Village area, downtown Cedar Rapids and all businesses within a mile or so of the river can use our help – and this time, not only is it a simple way of helping... it helps you too! Stop in, take a look at what they have to offer, maybe even buy some items or eat a meal or two! Show them that we, as a community, appreciate local businesses and want to see them stay here for a long, long time!
Come together, right now... over me. Wise words for a wise community.

Every week since 2006, we have had a weekly online drawing which gives away completely free prizes for local businesses. NO STRINGS ATTACHED IN THE SENSE THAT THEY ARE NOT A ‘BUY ONE GET ONE FREE’ OR SOME OTHER RESTRICTION THAT REQUIRES YOU TO MAKE A PURCHASE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SOMETHING. This drawing is set up so that each entry winner will be able to freely redeem something of value, free of charge. What the business owner gets, is a chance to present to you what they have to offer in hopes that you will enjoy your experience with them and return as a regular customer. Somewhere along the way we began allowing the drawing clients to use this column to promote themselves with more than just the offer ad you see above and along the sides. This week the article space should be for Simply Divine Candy and Gift Shoppe. However we have chosen to hold off the article she had prepared for this week because at the time of this printing, the downtown area is blocked off as the city faces the danger of the second highest flood in Cedar Rapids history. Hopefully the downtown, along with all Cedar Rapids businesses and homes, will be spared. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing I know that some will not survive. Some have been left out of any city-helped protection and some locations may just be too hard to protect from the flood height. Simply Divine is located on the corner of the historic Paramount Theater building which was also devastated in the 2008 flood. Our drawing client the “Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association” currently holds their concerts in the Paramount Theater. They have their next concert scheduled for November 21st. Let’s hope that no water damage from this week’s expected flood occurs in the building. Next in our drawing column that could be directly affected by this flood is the Maid Rite West on First Avenue SW. They sustained seven feet of water during the 2008 Epic flood and have recovered nicely, with a strong community support each week enjoying what they have to serve. With a their building completely surrounded with sand bags and sealing off all plumbing drains, the Maid Rite is as ready as they can be for what mother nature sends up First Avenue to them. Another business we have that could potentially be in the flood is Balloons Etc. They are right on the fringe of the flood predictions and hopefully will not incur any water damage.
TRACTORS
• Born in Vermont in 1804, John was apprenticed to a blacksmith at the age of 17, later setting up his own shop. He had trouble paying his bills due to competition from other blacksmiths, so he moved to a town in Illinois that had no other blacksmiths. Work poured in and John’s reputation as a blacksmith spread. • Many customers were farmers bringing in their plows for repairs. Cast iron plows that easily turned the light soil of the eastern states were inefficient in the heavy sod of Illinois. John wondered if a plow made of steel would be better than a plow made of iron, so he began to experiment. The problem was that dirt clung to an iron plow and had to be cleaned off by hand every few steps. A polished steel plow, however, threw off dirt and was self-scouring, never needing cleaning at all. • In 1838 he sold his first steel plow. By 1841 John was selling a hundred plows a year. Soon they were selling so quickly that John dropped the blacksmithing and went into the plow business full-time. By 1856 he was selling 10,000 plows per year. • His son Charles joined the company and the firm expanded by inventing and producing seed drills, cultivators, harrows, and wagons. They invented the first plow that allowed the farmer to ride on a seat instead of walking behind the horse. • Long after John died in 1886, the company expanded into gasoline powered tractors and other farm machinery. Today the company, named after John’s last name, employs over 50,000 people, manufacturing agricultural and construction equipment. It has a net worth of over $40 billion. The company produces over 600 agricultural machines including backhoes, tractors, loaders, and water carriers. What was John’s last name? (Answer at bottom of page) • Born in 1838 in Ohio, Daniel Best grew up to earn his living running a sawmill while doing some farming on the side. He was always interested in machinery and tinkered constantly, especially after he moved to California to work on his brother’s ranch. • In 1871 he patented a portable grain cleaner, and followed that with a machine that harvested, threshed, and cleaned all at the same time. Because the machine “combined” functions, it was called the “combine.” • Then Daniel became interested in the newly invented traction engine, whose name was shortened to “tractor.” Combines were still being pulled by horses, but Daniel thought it would be far more efficient if combines were towed by tractors. The problem was that the tractors were too large for a farmer to use in small fields. What the world needed was a small tractor for individuals to use. He designed a model that was smaller, more manageable, and easier to use. • Nearby, Benjamin Holt loved Daniel’s new tractor, but found the machine often got stuck in muddy fields. He improved the design by outfitting the tractor with treads similar to what tanks run on. This spread the weight out over a larger area and prevented the tractor from sinking into soft ground. • For years the companies were competitors, but the rival firms eventually merged. The new company was named for the distinctive crawl of the treads. It’s now the largest manufacturer of heavy equipment and farm machinery worldwide. Name it. (Answer below)
IT’S A FACT
• The Latin word “trahere” meaning “to pull” is the root of our “tractor.” “Traffic” comes from the Italian “traffic” meaning “to trade.” Answer: Deere: “Nothing Runs Like a Deere.” 2nd Answer: Caterpillar.

Brain Games vs. Dementia If you don’t yet have a computer or tablet, recent news might persuade you to ask for one for your birthday: braintraining exercises reduce dementia. Researchers at a half-dozen universities collaborated on different cognitive training programs with nearly 3,000 participants starting in 1998. The program, called the Advanced Cognitive Training in Vital Elderly study (ACTIVE), tested reasoning, memory and speed of processing information using one of four methods: memory training, speed of processing information training, reasoning training and none at all. Getting results didn’t take long. Only 10 sessions of training over five weeks were required. Of the above methods, it was only the speed training that delayed the onset of dementia, by a whopping 48 percent over the course of 10 years. Researchers even made it more specific: Each session of training reduced the risk of dementia by 8 percent. Participants experienced improvement in areas of attention, feelings of control, quality of life and even improved driving reaction time because objects off to the side were seen more quickly. The online version of the program they used is called “Double Decision,” and it can be found on brainhq.com if you search for that name. As samples, there are games to play for free. Here’s one example: Identifying fast-moving objects on a screen, including those in peripheral vision, with tasks getting more and more difficult. While it’s tempting to see online brain training as the end-all to delaying dementia, we should not forget that the Federal Trade Commission once fined a maker of brain games for making false claims. On the other hand, funding for this long-term research was made possible by the National Institute on Aging. Suggestion: Go online to those free games at brainhq.com and try a few. Decide for yourself. Also enjoy the Tidbits games and trivia! (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE How do Relationships Survive a Traumatic Loss?
There is so much pain and difficulty in trying to personally cope with a traumatic loss whether it is a death or divorce. Navigating a minute, hour, week, month, or year is hard enough let alone trying to stay connected in relationships we can’t escape. I want to provide you with some tools to help you move forward in your relationships: 1) Everyone grieves differently. Identify the differences in how you grieve. 2) Acknowledge the differences and respect the others journey. 3) Lower the expectations you have on how you believe the other person should be grieving or how they should respond to your grieving. 4) Find out what the others needs are. Be transparent in saying “this is what I am struggling with and this is how you can help me”. 5) Agree with each other that you will work on understanding the differences in your journey and commit to actions that are being asked of you. The dynamics of life loss ripples through families and friends. You can be a single parent, a couple, a sibling, a family member, a friend, or all of the above. We can’t escape relationships. The most trying times are in our deepest darkest hour of loss. We must strengthen our bridges before the torrent of loss carries them away.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
by Samantha Weaver ● The next time you’re outside enjoying a morning serenade, consider this tidbit: Most bird songs are cries of war, not courtship. ● You might be surprised to learn that the first drive-in theater in the United States was opened all the way back in 1921, in downtown Comanche, Texas. Attendees parked bumper to bumper to watch screenings of silent films.
