SCHOOLS (continued): • During the 18th and early 19th centuries, Canadian families remained the unrivalled setting for education in that country; few children in what was then British North America received formal instruction either from tutors or in schools. • Although Thomas Jefferson had supported the concept of free public education, elementary schooling was only available to America’s wealthy until the 1840s. That’s when reformers like Horace Mann of Massachusetts and Henry Barnard of Connecticut began to push for taxfunded schools with the belief that universal education would produce good citizens, unite society, prevent crime and end poverty. • Until the 1930s, most Americans only completed eight years of school. High School only became popular during the Great Depression, when jobstrapped communities saw benefits to keeping teenagers in class and out of the workforce where they’d only serve as low-cost competition to adults. • Founded in 1878 by Bishop Isaac Hellmuth and the Anglican Diocese of Huron, the University of Western Ontario is one of Canada’s oldest and best universities. The first students graduated in arts and medicine in 1883. • Remember James Meredith? The University of Mississippi gained national attention when it denied admission to James Meredith, an African American, who applied in 1961. He took the case to court, won, and started classes at Ole Miss in 1963. What many people don’t know is that he successfully graduated in 1964 and has been a supporter of Ole Miss ever since. • 74.9 million: That’s the number of people enrolled in school throughout the United States from nursery school to college. To put this in perspective, this amounts to more than onefourth of the U.S. population age 3 and older. • Of the approximately 7.2 million teachers in the United States, 2.9 million work at elementary and middle school levels. On average, median annual wages of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers ranged from $47,100 to $51,180 in May 2008; the lowest 10 percent earned $30,970 to $34,280; the top 10 percent earned $75,190 to $80,970. The average hourly wage for other school workers? Bus drivers earn $16.56 an hour, custodians earn $14.19 an hour, and cafeteria workers earn about $11.60 an hour.

SCHOOLS (continued): • The average number of children participating each month in the United States’ national school lunch program in 2009 was 31.3 million. That’s a lot of milk. • America’s total apple production estimate in 2009 was 20.11 billion pounds, up four percent from 2007. The chances are good that the apples your children present to their teachers or enjoy for lunch were grown in Washington State, which accounts for more than half of the nation’s total production. • In fall 2009, a record of nearly 49.8 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools in America. Of these, almost 35.0 million will be in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and 14.8 million in grades 9 through 12. An additional 5.8 million students are expected to attend private schools this coming fall. • The per-pupil expenditure on public elementary and secondary education for the United States in 2007 was almost $10,000. New York spent the most among states or state equivalents ($15,981), followed by New Jersey ($15,691) and the District of Columbia ($14,324). Utah ($5,683) spent the least per student, on average. • Education pays off. According to a recent study reported in U.S. News & World Report, college graduates earn an average $20,000 a year more than people who only have a high school diploma. So get a degree. • In fall 2009, a record 18.4 million students were expected to attend the America’s 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities, an increase of about 3.1 million since fall 2000. • Females were expected to comprise the majority of those college students, numbering about 10.5 million compared to 7.9 million males in fall 2009. Although the majority of students will attend full time (an estimated 11.4 million for fall 2009), about 7.0 million are expected to attend part time.

www.localshoppingcedarrapids.com Do not be confused about "Buy Local". Buy Local means to purchase material or services from those businesses owned by people who live in the Cedar Rapids area. These owners are your family, friends and neighbours that could use your help. Some of them have been through the 2008 flood and others are battling the economy. Let us support these businesses by shopping at their establishments and in turn revitalize the great city of Cedar Rapids. We encourage customers to UTILIZE this free website for supporting local business owners and for the betterment of the Cedar Rapids community.

WHY BUY LOCAL?

Studies have shown that $45 of every $100 spent at locally owned stores stays in the community, whereas only about $13 of every $100 spent in chain (big box) stores remains in the local economy.

SCHOOLS (continued): • Go Buckeyes. The largest college campus in the United States by enrollment is Ohio State University, in Columbus, which in the fall of 2009 enrolled 55,014 students. No wonder their football games are sellouts; think of all the students on campus. • For the 2007-08 academic year in the United States, annual prices for undergraduate tuition, room and board were estimated to be $11,578 at public institutions (including $4,307 for in-state tuition) and $29,915 at private institutions. • The most expensive college in America by tuition is Middlebury College in Vermont, with an annual tuition of $43,690. The most expensive college, when figuring tuition along with housing, books, clothing, etc., is Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, N.Y., with yearly costs computed to be $54,410. • In addition to graduates, all kinds of interesting things come out of colleges. At Rutgers University in New Jersey, scientists developed Cheez Wiz, a college delight and student staple if there ever was one. • Royal Roads University is the only Canadian university to offer its MBA program in Mandarin. Considering China’s massive economy, that’s a wise choice.

THE “BEAR” ESSENTIALS Although there are only eight living species of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe and Asia. • Since prehistoric times, bears have been hunted for their meat and fur. To this day, they play a prominent role in the arts, mythology and other cultural aspects of various human societies. • The eight species of bears are: Malayan Sun Bear, Sloth Bear, Spectacled Bear, American Black Bear, Brown Bear or Grizzly Bear, Polar Bear, Asiatic Black Bear and Panda Bears. • The collective name for a group of bears is a sleuth or sloth, but with the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are generally active during the day (diurnal), but may be active during the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular), particularly around humans. • Bears have an excellent sense of smell, and despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and swimmers. • Black bears are particularly good tree climbers as well as swimmers. And they are pretty good runners, at up to 30 miles per hour. • Bears use shelters such as caves and burrows as their dens, which are occupied by most species during the winter for a long period of sleep, some up to three to five months. This period is often called hibernation but is not true hibernation. Today, scientists prefer to call bears’ winter nap “denning.” • Panda bears weigh about 250 pounds. The average lifespan of a panda bear is 20 to 30 years. Curiously, they do not sleep during the winter as other bear species do. The panda was actually not officially considered a bear until 1995. • The giant panda is universally loved, but this peaceful animal faces many dangers. Its population is small and isolated, as its traditional forest habitat in southwest China’s mountainous areas becomes more fragmented. The government has set up more than 30 reserves, but habitat destruction and poaching continue to pose a threat. • The size of bears varies, according to species. They can reach a height of 6-and-a-half-feet tall; they can weigh 600 pounds or more. • The grizzly bear is not endangered, but it is a threatened species. The grizzly bear, on average, weighs between 300 to 800 pounds. Some, of course, are larger than that. • The polar bear is the largest land carnivore in the world. The average adult male weighs between 850 to 900 pounds (380 to 400 kilograms). • The sloth bear has long shaggy hair and weighs TRIVIA an average of 120 to 310 pounds (54 to 141 NEWSFRONT ANSWERS kilograms). 1. Eugene Levy • The diet of bears varies according to their habitat 2. AceofFrehley and can consist meat and plants. 3. are Burtreferred Bacharach • Male bears to as boars or he-bears. A female4. isNynuk called a sow or she-bear. Their offspring, or a baby bear, is called a cub. 5. Hans Christian Anderson • The average size of a litter of cubs is four. Bears tend to mark their territory by clawing, biting and rubbing trees.

January 20– February 18 Now is not the time to get caught up in little differences. Respect the views of others and work together for a cause. Fame is not what it is cracked up to be, Aquarius.

July 23– August 22 An invitation arrives in the mail. Think it over, Leo. You might have a better time that you think. A charitable cause requires your talents and skills.

February 19– March 20 Doggone it, Pisces. For every step you move forward you seem to take two steps backward. Don’t let it get to you. You are making progress.

August 23– September 22 Focus, Virgo. Banish the restlessness. A weak link is discovered in a project and you must work hard to fix it. The mood lifts at home.

You’re on the move this week, Capricorn, and everyone better get out of your way. You’ve got lots to do and little time to do it in. An old friend helps.

Freedom Scooters & Chairs Can Help You!

March 21– April 19 Make up, Aries. Don’t break up. This is not a relationship to sever. A whirl in the kitchen brings surprising results. Who knew you were such a good cook.

April 20– May 20 Affairs of the heart take center stage this week, and bonds grow stronger. The opportunity to travel afar and experience new things beckons. Go, Taurus.

May 21– June 21 It’s not just what you know but whom you know that often leads to success. Keep that in mind, Gemini, and don’t be afraid to call in some favors.

September 23– October 22 Joy, Libra. Someone from your past returns to stir up trouble. Thwart their plans. A little windfall erases all budgetary concerns. Put some away for a rainy day.

October 23– November 21 Just when you thought life couldn’t get any better, it does. Enjoy your newfound success. A promotion could be on the horizon, Scorpio.

November 22– December 21 You can make plans all you want, Sagittarius, but you should be prepared for them to be dismantled. Not all will go accordingly. Have some backup plans.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver

~ It was British mathematician, historian and philosopher Bertrand Russell who made the following sage observation: “If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years.” ~ Do you know why camels are artiodactyls, while humans aren’t? It’s because dromedaries have an even number of toes (two) on each foot, while we have an odd number. ~ According to a poll conducted in the United Kingdom, 80 percent of male college freshmen and sophomores in that country have never done a load of laundry in their lives. ~ At weddings here in the United States, it is common for the bride to toss her bouquet to determine who will be the next to be married. At weddings in Finland the custom is a bit different, though the outcome is the same: There, the bride traditionally wears a golden crown, and at the reception she is blindfolded and spun around. Then all the single girls in attendance dance around her while the bride, still blindfolded, tries to place the crown on one of them. It’s believed that the lucky girl who ends up wearing the crown will be the next to wed. ~ It takes about 2.5 pounds of grapes to make a single bottle of wine. ~ Ever wonder where the phrase “cool as a cucumber” came from? It’s actually an established fact that the interior of a cucumber can be up to 20 degrees cooler than the ambient air temperature surrounding it. *** Thought for the Day: “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.” -- Albert Einstein (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Week of July 26th, 2010

MUSIC LEGEND:

BOB DYLAN

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman, Bob Dylan is perhaps the best known and best loved of all American singer-songwriters. • Robert Allen Zimmerman’s birth date is thought to be May 24, 1941. But a passport issued to Robert Dylan in 1974 says his birth date is May 11, 1941. So which is it Bob? • Dylan was scheduled to appear on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on May 12, 1963. He was going to sing “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.” But during the dress rehearsal, he was told that “John Birch” was deemed too controversial by network censors, and program producer Bob Precht, whose idea it was to invite Dylan on the show, asked him to sing another song. Dylan declined and did not appear. • In August 1969, Dylan made his first paid public performance since July 26, 1966, when he broke his neck in the crash of his Triumph 500 motorcycle. Backed by the Band, he performed in front of 200,000 people at England’s Isle of Wight festival. He was paid $75,000 for a 70-minute performance. • In 1967, while recuperating from his motorcycle accident, Dylan signed with MGM Records, home of the Righteous Brothers, the Lovin’ Spoonful, Connie Francis and the late Hank Williams. MGM later withdrew the contract, and Dylan signed with Columbia. • Dylan won his first Grammy in 1980 for best rock vocal performance for the religious-oriented “Gotta Serve Somebody.” • Dylan’s reputation as a songwriter is larger than his record sales. His best-selling album is “Greatest Hits” (1967), which sold between 2 million and 3 million copies. The runner-up is “Greatest Hits - Vol. II” (1971), selling one million copies. Columbia Records doesn’t release sales figures, but a press release said Vol. II is nearing double-platinum status. The next bestsellers are “Desire” (‘76) and “Blood on the Tracks” (‘75). • Dylan was not a big hit-maker either. None of his singles ever reached No. 1 on Billboard’s pop chart. “Like a Rolling Stone” (‘65) peaked at No. 2, as did “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” (‘66). • Three Dylan songs begin with nearly the same line, “Early in the morning.” The songs are “Obviously Five Believers,” “Pledging My Time” and “Tangled Up in Blue” (which actually starts “early one morning”). • Dylan’s harmonica is heard on records by Harry Belafonte, George Harrison, Steve Goodman, Roger McGuinn, Booker T. and Priscilla Jones, Doug Sahm, Carolyn Hester, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and Sly & Robbie. • Dylan had a rule that he only recorded music at night. He would show up to the studio around 9 p.m. and work until the early hours of morning Occasionally his band would record music pieces during the day and try to get Dylan to listen to them. • The Minnesota Historical Society lists 97 Dylan items in its reference library. Included are a 1987 Ph.D. thesis by a Purdue University student, five fanzines, 17 books and articles published in Germany, one children’s book and Dylan’s original, hand-written lyric sheet for “Temporary Like Achilles,” a 1966 song on the album “Blonde on Blonde.” The most interesting title in the society’s collection is “Mysteriously Saved: An Astrological Investigation into Bob Dylan’s Conversion to American Fundamentalism,” by John Ledbury.

Mark Martin Knows the Challenge In 2009, Mark Martin enjoyed a glorious comeback, finishing second in the Sprint Cup standings and winning five races. And that was at age 50. Now Martin is 51, and results haven’t been as encouraging this season for the Batesville, Ark., native. At the moment, Martin has to worry about making the Chase for the Sprint Cup, which is limited to the top 12 in the point standings at the end of the 26 races that comprise the regular season. The championship is then determined over the final 10. Martin knows he faces a challenge to make the Chase, and he knows pressure will increase and tempers will flare as the next seven races wind down. “As we go forward, the kind of racing that we had at the end of (recent races) will not be every three weeks in the future,” he said. “It will be every week, everywhere. Right now it’s every third week or so. “That’s what equal cars, double-file restarts and all that stuff brings you to, which is going to be fun to watch.” Though Martin has only competed once in the Nationwide Series this year, he is its all-time leader with 48 victories, though Kyle Busch is closing in and now has 37 victories, including seven this year. “Records are going to fall, and I’m going to stand there and watch them,” said Martin. “Just as Jack Ingram (31 wins) stood and watched his fall, it’s not going stand the test of time, but that’s OK, too. That still doesn’t lessen what I did, what I managed to do.” Martin’s 40 Cup victories rank him 16th all-time, trailing Bill Elliott by four. Racing isn’t just competitive. To Martin’s way of thinking, it’s rougher and more aggressive than ever. “It’s getting worse mostly because of the nature of our racing and the growth of the sport,” he said. “You wouldn’t be able to keep a job if you raced 20 years ago, if you drove for somebody and you wrecked as many cars as you wreck today. You wouldn’t keep a job. “The teams could not justify it. They didn’t have the manpower. They didn’t have the money. They couldn’t repair these cars and get them back out there. You wouldn’t last. But it’s a different day and age now. It is just different, and there’s a lot of pressure on these guys.”

Many communities had adopted this same philosophy during the Depression years. Early on there were 42 community concert associations in the country. But even the Great Depression could not deter the need for quality, live entertainment. Food for the soul was as important as food on the table, and by 1940, 335 community concert associations were actively answering people’s need for quality entertainment.

Building. Since the Flood of 2008, CRCCA concerts have been held at the U.S. Cellular Center. The CRCCA strives to keep memberships affordable. In the 1950’s, a general admission membership was only $3.00. As with everything, though, the costs associated with providing entertainment have risen through the years. The CRCCA’s first concert season cost $3,300 total. For the 2008-2009 season, CRCCA budgeted over $52,000 for five acts, plus additional costs for the venue. Despite these rising costs, the CRCCA still offers the best family entertainment value around. This year, membership is just $35 for general admission to five of the best acts available today – The Four Freshmen, Great American Songbook, Dallas Brass, John Davidson, and Cirque Voila!. And, with CRCCA’s reciprocal agreement with the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Metro Community Concert Association, CRCCA members can attend five additional concerts at the Gallagher-Bluedorn at no additional cost. That’s 10 live concerts for only $35! The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association is an all-volunteer organization committed to providing high quality cultural entertainment at a cost affordable to everyone.

Why Do I Lament

To be sad each and every day A heavy emotional price to pay Just so people will pity me Is that who I want to be

Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Write to her in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to columnreply@gmail.com.

Grumble about my easy job How others are like a slob Complain when people have fun When clouds block the Sun

Smiling faces run and try to hide I’d like to go along for the ride How do I change and go another way Without my frown to face the day Can I see good after only seeing bad Can I be happy when I’m not sad But my feet are buried in cement So why do I always lament

No food is perfect for me to eat When I sit I don’t like my seat I wonder when it will all end Why I don’t have a friend

It’s hard enough that we work to pay off our homes so that we won’t have that payment at retirement, but now there’s a scam targeting some seniors who’ve done just that. Here’s how it works: When you have a mortgage, the Deed of Trust paperwork is recorded with the local county recorder. When a mortgage is paid off, a reconveyance deed is filed (by the trustee or title company) with that same recorder’s office and the original is sent to you within 30 or 60 days. The paperwork says you’ve paid off your mortgage. Except for property taxes (and maybe condo fees) you don’t owe anybody anything on your home. That reconveyance deed is extremely important. Without it, you can’t prove that you own your home. Knowing that, here come the scammers. A number of seniors have received in the mail official-looking documents saying that their reconveyance deed is not on file. For a “small” fee, of course, they can fix the situation and ensure that a copy is filed. Nowadays it’s easy to get information online, and that’s likely where the scammers are getting it. No doubt they’re looking at the exact reconveyance deed online when they note your name and address and send you mail saying that deed is missing. If you receive official-looking mail saying that your reconveyance deed is not filed, do not send any money to have someone else take care of it for you. Hunt up your own original and call the county recorder’s office. Ask someone there to verify that your deed is copied or noted in the files. I remember when people use to have deed-burning parties. The paid-off deed was incinerated in the barbecue grill in the backyard and a good time was had by all. It probably was never a good idea to do that.

• Weatherproofing in the winter makes good sense -- nobody likes the feel of a chilly draft. But weatherproofing is just as important during the summer if you use air conditioning. You might not feel that cold air leaking outside, but your power bill sure does. • Whip your butter to stretch it out. Soften sticks to room temperature and whip it to twice its volume using an electric mixer. Store in a large, sealable plastic container. • “The secret to extra-light pancakes and waffle batter is carbonated water. Use club soda in place of regular water and you’ll see a big difference.” -M.F. in Tennessee • “To use the last bits of shampoo and conditioner in my bottles, I add a little water and shake them. I also cut open the bottle of lotion when it has a pump top. There’s always so much left when the bottle won’t pump any more out.” -- A.R. in Oregon • “If you have paintbrushes that have hard paint on them, try soaking them in full-strength vinegar. Check to see if paint has softened, and comb out with a wire brush.” -- C.F. in New York • Mix liquid dish detergent (or cheap shampoo) with baking soda and a bit of water to thin it out. Use this mixture to scrub the walls in your bathtub or shower. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
