CARTOONS (continued): • Wearing a Roman soldier’s uniform of helmet and skirt, Marvin the Martian was modeled after Mars, the Roman god of war. He was forever trying to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, but his efforts were outwitted every time by the clever Bugs Bunny. These failed attempts made him “very angry, very angry indeed.” • In the midst of the Cold War, the world of cartoons had its token Russian spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. These bumbling villains attempted to do the will of their Fearless Leader, such as stealing secret rocket fuel formulas. All the while, Natasha called everyone “dollink” as Boris snapped, “Sharrup you mouth!” Natasha was voiced by June Foray, whose other credits include Dudley Do-Right’s lady friend Nell Fenwick, Rocky the flying squirrel, Tweety’s owner Granny and Lucifer the Cat in Disney’s 1950 production “Cinderella.” • The Jetsons were just an average family living in the year 2062. Their home in Orbit City’s Skypad Apartments was filled with futuristic, labor-saving devices. George Jetson’s work life consisted of pushing a computer button three hours a day, three days a week at Spacely Space Sprockets. Jane was assisted in her wifely duties by the robot maid Rosie. The series, produced between 1962 and 1963, was the first program on ABC to be broadcast in color. • “Ruh-roh!” became a common expression after it was frequently used by the Jetsons’ dog Astro. Voice actor Don Messick was the source for “Rats Rall Right, Reorge!” You might recognize his voice as that of other cartoon dogs ScoobyDoo and Muttley.

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day, a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been such a devoted couple, she would grant each of them a very special wish. The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband. Whoosh! Immediately she had airline and cruise tickets in her hand. The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger ... Whoosh! Immediately he turned ninety.

Memory Clinic Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?" "Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association. It was great." "Wow! What was the name of the clinic?" Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?" "You mean a rose?" "Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife, "Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

CARTOONS (continued): A 1945 cartoon entitled “Hare Trigger” introduced a cantankerous red-haired cowboy with an extreme dislike of rabbits. After several cartoons featuring the meek and mild Elmer Fudd as Bugs Bunny’s adversary, Yosemite Sam was created as a more formidable foe who was not so easily put off. With six-guns in hand, Sam frequently thundered at Bugs, “Say your prayers, Varmint!” He was voiced by Mel Blanc, who had undergone a spell of road rage on the day he came up with Sam’s voice and merely screamed at the top of his lungs. Known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices,” Mel Blanc was the voice behind many of our favorites, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Woody Woodpecker, Speedy Gonzales, Barney Rubble, Pepe LePew and George Jetson’s boss Mr. Spacely. He set a record of the longest voiceover, having spoken for Daffy Duck for 52 years. The inscription on Blanc’s gravestone appropriately reads, “That’s All, Folks.” “I yam what I yam,” is muttered in a gravelly voice by a rough and ready, muscular sailor with anchor tattoos. Popeye was created in 1929 as a comic strip by E.C. Segar but didn’t hit the movie screen until 1933. The woman of his dreams, Olive Oyl and her brother Castor Oyl, were on the scene 10 years before Popeye. Popeye was well known for eating spinach for strength, and he sang, “I’m strong to the finich, ‘cause I eats me spinach.” He was so popular during the 1930s that there was a 33-percent increase in spinach consumption during that decade. The sailor’s family members included his adopted baby son Baby Swee’ Pea, nephews Pipeye, Pupeye, Poopeye, and Peepeye, and father Poopdeck Pappy. Hamburger-loving Wimpy and the bully Bluto completed the cast.

I bought a self-learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.

CARTOONS (continued): • November 18, 1928, is considered the birthday of Mickey Mouse. It’s the day he debuted in “Steamboat Willie” at New York City’s Colony Theater. Starring as a riverboat deckhand, Mickey’s voice was that of Walt Disney himself. Mickey had actually appeared six months earlier in a cartoon short entitled “Plane Crazy” with Minnie Mouse at his side, but “Willie” was the first of his cartoons with sound. Mickey didn’t appear in color until 1935. He went on to star in more than 120 different cartoons, and was voiced by Disney until 1946. Mickey was the first cartoon character to receive a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. • A different kind of mouse regularly defended the citizens of Mouseville. Wearing a yellow jersey and red cape, inspired by the Superman character, Mighty Mouse came to the rescue, singing, “Here I come to save the day!” This superhero squelched the threats of villain Oil Can Harry against the townspeople, and more specifically, his girlfriend Pearl Pureheart. • A similarly-named sweetheart, Sweet Polly Purebred, was the love interest of the endearing Shoeshine Boy. When danger was imminent, the Boy quietly slipped into a nearby phone booth and retrieved a Super Vitamin Pill from his ring’s secret compartment, exiting the booth as Underdog. Polly was a TV reporter, who could be heard pleading, “Oh where, oh where, has my Underdog gone?” • Chrysler paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the privilege of using the cartoon image of the Road Runner on the side of the Plymouth Road Runner muscle car, which began manufacture in 1968. They also expended $10,000 to develop a horn with a “Beep, Beep!” sound effect.

WALT DISNEY Nearly everyone on Earth is familiar with the creations of genius Walt Disney. Follow his path from humble beginnings on a Missouri farm to film mogul and theme partk creator. • An artist from childhood, Disney was already selling sketches at age seven. In high school, he worked on the school newspaper while attending night school at the Academy of Fine Arts. • In 1918, Walt tried to enlist in the military but was turned away because he was only 16. His alternative was to sign up with the Red Cross, who sent him overseas. He spent a year driving an ambulance, decorated from top to bottom with his drawings and cartoons. He served in a unit with Ray Kroc, who, decades later, would found the McDonald’s fast food chain. • Disney’s career in advertising began after the conclusion of World War I. In 1920, he created his first animated cartoons, and three years later, headed for Hollywood with $40 to his name. He joined up with his brother Roy, and the two borrowed $500 and built a camera stand in their uncle’s garage where they started production of cartoon “featurettes.” • Mickey Mouse hit the big screen in 1928, and four years later, Disney was awarded the first of his many Oscars for a film entitled “Flowers and Trees.” • In the midst of the Great Depression, Disney produced “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” for the astronomical sum of $1,499,000. It took two million illustrations using 1,500 shades of paint to create the 1937 masterpiece. Fifty different names were considered for the dwarfs, including Gabby, Blabby, Hotsy, Nifty and Shifty. Disney had first conceived the idea for the film at age 15, when he saw a silent film version of the tale. • Although “Snow White” featured eight songs, 25 songs were originally composed for the feature. It quickly became the highest grossing film of all time, a record it held only until 1939, when “Gone with the Wind” surpassed it. Walt built Disney Studios in Burbank, California, with the profits from “Snow White.” Over the next five years, he released “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” “Dumbo” and “Bambi.” • As early as August of 1948, Walt Disney was thinking of building an amusement park called “Mickey Mouse Park.” In 1955, he opened his 400-acre Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, in Anaheim, with a price tag of $17 million. It was Walt’s intention that Disneyland would, “never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Indeed, new attractions are added on a regular basis. • With his eye on the future, Walt purchased 28,000 acres in Florida for another theme park but didn’t live to see its construction. Walt Disney World opened in 1971, five years after Walt’s death. Strangely enough, Disneyland is in Orange County, California, and Walt Disney World’s location is Orange County, Florida. • Walt Disney was the recipient of more than 950 awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, awarded to him at the White House in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson. Walt holds the record for the most Academy Awards and received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, the University of Southern California and UCLA. One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody's satellite dish. My dreams showed up on Cartoon Network all over the world.

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.

One time a cop pulled me over for running a stop sign. He said, "Didn't you see the stop sign?" I said, "Yeah, but I don't believe everything I read."

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver

• According to Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the abdominal thrust technique known as the Heimlich Maneuver, the food upon which people most commonly choke is peanut butter straight out of the jar. • Astronauts on the International Space Station see the sun rise every 90 minutes. • You’ve probably heard that Eskimos have 50 words for different types of snow, but you might not realize that their language doesn’t have a word for just plain snow. • You might recall Glenn Ford, an actor from Hollywood’s Golden Era, from such films as “3:10 to Yuma,” “Blackboard Jungle” and “The Big Heat.” You probably didn’t know, though, that when he was born in Quebec he was named Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford. The inspiration for his stage name was the town of Glenford, Canada. • Those who study such things say that every day in the world, 62 square miles of land becomes desert. • When groups of shrimp end up with too few males to sustain the population, some of the females turn into males.

• On Aug. 11, 1921, Alex Haley, author of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” is born in Ithaca, N.Y. Haley’s next novel, “Roots” (1976), was a fictionalized account of his family’s history, traced through seven generations. The novel was translated into 37 languages and won a special Pulitzer Prize. • On Aug. 10, 1937, the electric guitar was recognized by the United States Patent Office with the award of Patent No. 2,089.171 to G.D. Beauchamp for an instrument known as the Rickenbacker Frying Pan. • On Aug. 13, 1952, “Hound Dog” is recorded for the first time by rhythm-and-blues singer Ellie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton, a native of Montgomery, Ala., who started her professional career in 1941 at the age of 14. Four years later, Elvis Presley also had a hit with the song. • On Aug. 15, 1969, a press party to promote the building of a professional recording studio in the vicinity of Woodstock, N.Y., turns into the biggest music festival the world had ever seen. The outdoor concert was expected to draw less than 5,000 people; instead, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair attracted a crowd of 500,000 over three days. • On Aug. 9, 1974, Richard M. Nixon officially resigns as the 37th president. Minutes later, Vice President Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as the 38th president of the United States. After taking the oath of office, President Ford spoke to the nation in a television address, declaring, “My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.” • On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson takes control of the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding Paul McCartney himself. In the years that followed, the catalog -- estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion -- allowed Jackson to remain solvent by serving as collateral for several enormous personal loans. • On Aug. 12, 1990, fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson discovers three huge bones jutting out of a cliff near Faith, S.D. They turned out to be part of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered, a 65 million-year-old specimen dubbed Sue, after its discoverer. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

TIDBITS AND MUSIC:

DC’s

THE BEACH BOYS

The pleasing harmonies that are the trademark of the music of the Beach Boys immediately conjure up thoughts of 1960s California and its culture of cars, surfing and young love. Tidbits takes you on a backstage tour of their rocky road to fame. • In 1961, three brothers, Carl, Dennis and Brian Wilson, gathered around the family piano in Hawthorne, California, practicing vocal harmonies. Their cousin Mike Love was soon on board, as was a friend from the football team, Al Jardine. • They adopted the name The Pendletones, a play on the brand name Pendleton, a popular wool shirt frequently worn by California surfers. Soon they had recorded their first single, entitled simply “Surfin.’” The name change to the Beach Boys came at the time of the song’s release, and the tune remained on Billboard’s Hot 100 for six weeks. • The band’s first four hits all contained the word “surf,” from 1961’s “Surfin’” and 1962’s “Surfin’ Safari” to 1963’s “Surfin’ U.S.A.” and “Surfer Girl.” Although all the songs were popular, none hit the No. 1 spot on the charts. That feat was accomplished in 1964 with “I Get Around.” It was quickly followed by their second No. 1, “Help Me, Rhonda,” and their third, “Good Vibrations,” the first hit to go platinum. • The Beach Boys didn’t sing just about surfing; they also sang about cars, such as “Little Honda,” “409” and “Little Deuce Coupe.” The summer was a popular theme as well, as evidenced by “Summer of Love,” “Summer Means New Love,” “Things We Did Last Summer” and “Your Summer Dream.” • Success took its toll on the group early in their careers. While on tour in 1964, 22-year-old Brian Wilson suffered a nervous breakdown and left the tour. He was replaced by singer Glen Campbell for several months. Wilson’s problems were to plague him for years to come. He was in and out of the band several times, as he abused drugs, suffered from depression and paranoia, and experienced weight gain up to 320 pounds. He was officially dismissed in 1982 and entered a detox program. • It was the heartbreaking drowning death of brother Dennis in 1983 that seemed to bring the group back together. Their fourth No. 1 hit, “Kokomo,” came along in 1988, 22 years after their third. Cousin Mike Love sued Brian for songwriting royalties along the way, contending that Brian had failed to give him credit as the co-writer of 79 of the group’s songs. Yet another reconciliation followed, with plans for another studio album, followed by more tragedy in the Wilson family. Lung cancer claimed the life of brother Carl, a long-time heavy smoker, in 1998. • Despite their hardships, the Beach Boys top the list of sales of singles and album revenues, making them the No. 1-selling American band in history. They’ve logged 56 Hot 100 hits, 36 Top 40 hits and four No. 1 singles over the years.

High hopes for Jeff Gordon Jeff Gordon’s hometown could be considered Vallejo, Calif., where he was born, or Pittsboro, Ind., where he grew up. Based on his record there, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is another place where Gordon feels right at home. He has won NASCAR’s annual visit to the Brickyard a record four times. (As an aside, Gordon has won five times at Infineon Raceway, the track closest to his birthplace.) 319-846-9336 Gordon’s most recent Indy victory occurred in 2004.

Lone Ranger The Lone Ranger and Tonto camped in the desert, set up their tent, and are asleep. Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend. "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" ask The Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What it tell you, Kemo Sabe?" The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Tonto, you dingbat, someone has stolen our tent."

The Medicare coverage gap works like Between Country Kitchen & Sunbeam this: You must spend $2,830 for your deductible and drugs. Once you reach this amount, the doughnut hole kicks in, and there’s no more help until you pay $4,550 out of pocket. Then your coverage starts again. Once you hit that amount, the government will send you a check for $250 in about six weeks. Thankfully, this amount is going to go up. Until 2020, the Affordable Care Act dictates that the doughnut hole will get smaller and smaller until it disappears. And soon those who get Medicare and who are in the doughnut hole will be able to get a 50 percent discount on certain medications.

By Tresa Erickson

Got a nice entryway, but not sure what to do with it? Set up a small table by the door where everyone can drop their keys and mail and that's about it? Make the most of your entryway by turning it into a usable space. Although typically small, entryways make wonderful spaces for a variety of activities from reading to listening to music. In order to determine what would make the best use of your entryway, you need to think about your needs. Could you and your family use a place to read? Could you use a place to work on the laptop? Could you use a place to display collectibles? Along with your needs, you must consider the dimensions and layout of the space. You may need a place to read, but if there is no room for a comfy chair or love seat, that idea may not work. The entryway may be more suitable for the display of collectibles, especially if it has a lot of wall space. Imagine having your spouse's entire collection of antique fishing lures hanging in the entryway. What an impressive welcome that would make to visitors. You also need to consider the traffic your entryway receives. If people are forever coming in and out of your front door, you may not want to turn it into a cozy reading or computer nook. How in the world would you ever get anything done? A buffet area for party nights or a mini game room with a dropleaf card table, on the other hand, might be more suitable. Whatever purpose you decide to have your entryway serve, make sure you decorate it accordingly. If it's going to be a music room, tuck the piano under the stairs and provide some chairs for listening. Add a light above the piano and a basket for sheet music. Hang up some inspiring prints, and voila, your music room entryway is complete. If your entryway flows into another room, you may want to go with a complementary color scheme to keep the décor consistent. If it does not, feel free to use whatever color scheme you want to enhance the function of the room and invoke the appropriate mood. Don't forget in all of the rearranging that your entryway still serves as an entrance to your home. Make sure guests feel welcome and have a mat to wipe their feet on. Make sure family members have a place to stash their coats, keys and mail. Don't make the décor so luxurious that everyone starts coming in the back door instead. The larger your entryway, the more likely it can serve more than one purpose. Put on your thinking cap and take advantage of all of that space.

Yorkshire Terriers. Feline aficionados also use the term Maltese to describe cats that have a similarly silky, grayblue coat.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!
