TIDBITS® TAKES A TRIP TO by Kathy Wolfe
America’s favorite children’s program premiered on PBS on November 10, 1969. In observance of Sesame Street Day, Tidbits passes along the facts on this long-running series, now in its 46th season. • A dinner party at the home of television documentary producer Joan Ganz Cooney in 1966 got the ball rolling toward a new children’s educational program. She and her guests discussed statistics showing that the average preschool child was watching 27 hours of television a week, much of which was considered too violent. Cooney conceived the idea of helping these preschoolers prepare for the classroom, teaching them the alphabet and how to count in an entertaining way. In addition, the program taught basic life skills, such as proper hygiene, healthy eating habits, self-control, dealing with low self-esteem, and crossing the street safely. Crosscultural friendships were prominent, as well as roles for the disabled, the young, senior citizens, and actors of all ethnicities, all demonstrating “peace and harmony.” • Joan Cooney hired puppeteer Jim Henson to create the cast of Sesame Street characters. Henson, who had founded Muppets, Inc. in 1958 at the age of 22, was more than a puppeteer. turn the page for more!

(continued): • Jim Henson was an artist, cartoonist, inventor, screenwriter, composer, musician, director, and producer as well. He signed on from the inception and spent the next 20 years with the series, until his sudden death at age 53 from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. • After just one season, the Educational Testing Service reported that children who regularly watched Sesame Street scored higher on tests than occasional viewers. Ten years after its premiere, 9 million American children under the age of six were watching the program every day, including 90% of children in lowincome, inner-city homes. • “Sesame Street” was based on a combination of streets in Harlem, the Bronx, and the upper West Side of New York City. Most of the action takes place around the address of 123 Sesame Street. • Original Sesame Street puppets were Big Bird, Kermit, Bert and Ernie, Oscar, Grover, and Cookie Monster. Others such as The Count, Elmo, Zoe, and Snuffleupagus came along in subsequent years. • Trash can dweller Oscar the Grouch was yellow, then orange during the first season, but was changed to his present green for Series Two. The explanation was that Oscar went on a holiday to “the very damp Swamp Mushy Muddy,” and came back permanently green. Oscar’s signature song is “I Love Trash.” His home is much larger on the inside that a typical trash can, and contains such luxuries as a swimming pool, ice rink, bowling alley, and piano beneath the surface. Oscar is performed by the same man behind Big Bird, Caroll Spinney, who says he got the idea for Oscar’s gruff voice from a Manhattan taxi driver who growled, “Where to, Mac?” Sesame Street was almost called 123 Avenue B, but it was changed due to the fact that it was a real New York City address.

(continued): • Caroll Spinney, 81, has been the puppeteer for Big Bird since Sesame Street’s inception. He stands inside the 8’2” bright yellow bird and extends his right arm above his head, with his arm acting as the neck, and his right hand as the beak. Spinney’s left hand is Big Bird’s left wing, which is attached to the right wing by a fishing line so that both wing’s move. Since he can’t see out, a tiny TV set is strapped to his chest. The suit weighs 10 lbs., with the head weighing an additional 4 lbs.. • What kind of a bird is Big Bird? One book about the series calls him a canary, although on an episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird himself said, “I’m more of a condor.” When appearing in the game show Hollywood Squares, the Bird called himself a lark, but a special 1983 broadcast of Sesame Street calls him an ibis. Whatever he is, he’s always flightless! • Bert and Ernie were designed to illustrate that two totally different characters can still be good friends. They were originally performed by Jim Henson and writer Jon Stone, with Bert and Ernie’s friendship symbolic of the true-life friendship between the two performers. • The Count, a vampire based on Count Dracula, was introduced in Season 4, and was intended to teach mathematical principles to children. He loves counting and counts everything! His favorite number is 34,969, which he calls a “square-root thing,” since that number is 187 squared. • One of the best-known songs from the series is “C is for Cookie,” first aired in 1972, and sung by the big, blue, growlyvoiced Cookie Monster. Other favorites are Kermit the Frog’s “Bein’ Green” and Ernie’s “Rubber Duckie,” which enjoyed a stint on the Billboard Top 100 pop chart in 1970.

• Sesame Street wasn’t Kermit the Frog’s first gig. The famous green puppet made his debut in 1955 on Jim Henson’s local television series Sam and Friends, which aired until 1961. Kermit is the only Muppet with a prominent role on both The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. Henson was Kermit’s puppeteer from 1955 until his death in 1990. Upon Henson’s death, the Sesame Workshop bought full ownership of Henson’s characters for $180 million; however, Kermit wasn’t part of the deal. The Tickle-Me-Elmo doll was a source of hundreds of millions of dollars for Sesame Workshop to help purchase the rights for the other Muppets. • A favorite human character on the series was the Fix-It Shop’s co-owner, Maria. Maria was played by Sonia Manzano, who joined the cast in 1971 at age 20 and remained until she retired in 2015. In addition to being nominated for two Emmy Awards for her performances, she won 15 Emmy’s as a Sesame Street writer. Other beloved humans have included Bob the music teacher, Linda the librarian (the first regular deaf character on television), schoolteacher Gordon, nurse Susan, and candy store owner Mr. Hooper. When Will Lee, the actor who played Mr. Hooper, passed away in 1982, rather than cast a new actor in the role, the producers used the opportunity to help young viewers understand death. • There have been more than 4,500 episodes of Sesame Street, and the series has won 116 Emmy Awards, more than any other program. It has been televised in more than 120 countries. About 8 million viewers tune in each week in the United States alone.

Elmo didn’t officially debut until Season 12, although the muppet had already been used as a random extra in scenes for quite some time. Initially this “new” character only communicated with “sounds rather than words.”

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: HUMMINGBIRDS This week, Tidbits is just humming along, taking a look at our tiny feathered friend, the hummingbird. • There are about 340 identified species of hummingbirds in the world, the second largest bird family. Yet they can only be found in the western hemisphere. Ecuador has the most hummingbirds of any country. Mexico is home to 50 different species, but only eight species are found in the U.S. They are not just found in warm climates -- three species are found in Canada, and certain types are even found in Alaska. • A ruby-throated hummingbird weighs about 3 grams. Compare this to the weight of a nickel at 4.5 grams. That’s about 150 birds to make one pound! The smallest bird in the world, the bee hummingbird, is about 2 inches long and weighs about 2.5 grams, about the same as a penny. Even the largest species, the giant hummingbird, is only 8.5 inches long. Yet their tiny size doesn’t affect their attitude. They are one of the most aggressive bird species, and will attack jays, crows, and hawks that intrude in their territory. • These tiny creatures can flap their wings as many as 200 times per second! They can fly at speeds up to 30 mph, and when diving, can reach double that speed. They are the only bird that can fly backwards. However, for all these amazing feats, the hummingbird can’t walk. Their pectoral chest muscles are so strong, they make up almost 30% of the bird’s body weight. • In order to collect nectar, hummingbirds do not suck the nectar through their long bills. Rather, they lick it at the rate of 10 to 15 times per second with forked tongues. • The bird’s heart beats around 1,260 times per minute, and even at rest, its breathing rate is 250 breaths per minute. In order to support this incredibly high metabolism, the bird needs to eat up to eight times per hour. Each feeding session lasts less than a minute. The hummingbird will visit about 1,000 flowers per day to gather the sugary sweet nectar needed for their energy. But because the nectar is not a good source of other nutrients, the birds also dine on insects and spiders. • At night, when food is not readily available, hummingbirds enter a deepsleep state similar to hibernation known as torpor. Their metabolism, heart, and breathing rates all dramatically slow down to preserve their energy levels. The heart, which normally beats during the daytime upwards of 1,200 times per minute, slows down to no more than 180 beats. • Hummingbirds have stunning colorful plumage, with about 1,000 to 1,500 feathers. Surprisingly, this is the least amount of feathers of any type of bird. The lower amount of feathers keeps them lightweight for their fast flight. • Most North American hummingbirds migrate south every autumn to spend the winter in Mexico, the Caribbean, or Central America. The 3-inch-long rufous hummingbird travels 3,900 miles one way from Alaska to Mexico. • The lifespan of a hummingbird ranges from 5 to 12 years. • If you want hummingbirds to visit your garden, plant a collection of bright flowers that continuously bloom, including zinnias, bleeding hearts, lupine, columbine, petunias, and beebalm. You can also add a feeder containing a mixture that is one part sugar to four parts water.

Home Instead Senior Care Proudly Presents
Senior News Line By Matilda Charles
Seniors as Roommates There are things to be said for taking on a roommate when we’re single seniors. Topping the list of positives is that expenses can be shared, which means you could end up in a home and neighborhood that is nicer than one you can afford on your own -- or that you can keep your own home and not need to downsize. Duties around the house can be shared. There’s someone there when you come home, and someone to go with you to events. Socially, you might even double the size of your network. Your roommate will be there to walk and feed your dog if you go away. If you fall or are ill, someone else is nearby to get help. The way to start thinking about this is to ask yourself if you have room for someone else, or if you’d need to move in with a roommate. At the very least, you’ll need a bedroom and private bath for each person. Your next step will be to seek out others who are in a shared accommodation situation and ask a lot of questions. You might discover that you’re a good candidate for a successful sharing: Are you flexible and social, and don’t have a strong need for lots of privacy? Do you like being around other people much of the time? Are you able to set clear expectations? Go online to search for information on seniors sharing housing. Do a lot of reading, check local resources for more information and decide if shared accommodation is something you want to consider. Here’s another biggie: It’s thought that those who live with others live longer and are generally healthier and happier. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

● Twilight is often defined as the period of time when day is ending and night is beginning -- a pretty vague definition. There are more precise versions, though: Civil twilight is the time when streetlights come on, nautical twilight occurs when the horizon disappears, and astronomical twilight is when the faintest stars become visible. Thought for the Day: “Science is built with facts as a house is with stones, but a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.” -Jules Henri Poincare To ponder and do nothing is the same as working all day on you computer and realizing hours later that you never turned it on.
