• Don’t skip your Wheaties! A study of 19,000 Americans found that people who skipped breakfast are more likely to gain weight because they tend to overcompensate for the loss of key nutrients at breakfast by eating more fat-rich, high-energy foods later in the day. • The oldest piece of chewing gum is 9,000 years old, but it was in 1906 that the first “bubble gum” was invented by Frank Fleer. His first batch produced a gum so sticky that if it got on your skin the only way to get it off was with vigorous scrubbing and turpentine. His recipe was finally perfected 22 years later by Walter Diemer in 1928. The 23-year-old Diemer was an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Company who experimented with new gum recipes in his spare time. His first commercial batch of Dubble Bubble Gum just happened to be pink because that was the only food coloring on the shelf that day. Fleer’s gum became the most popular penny candy on the market.

TRIVIA • In 1912, a Cleveland chocolate candy maker NEWSFRONT ANSWERS named Clarence Crane wanted to make a hard mint that wouldn’t melt in the summer heat to 1. Eugene Levy boost summertime sales. While at the pharmacy 2. Ace Frehleyhe noticed the druggist buying bottled ﬂavoring, using a hand operated pill-making machine that 3. Burt Bacharach produced ﬂat, round pills. He contracted with 4. Nynuk the pharmacy to press the mints into shape. The machinery malfunctioned and stamped the 5. Hans Christian Anderson candy with a hole in the middle. After looking at the shape, it reminded him of a life preserver so he called them Lifesavers.

• Have you had your Wheaties today? In the 1920s, a Minneapolis health-spa owner made homemade bran gruel to feed his clients. The mixture helped keep them regular and helped them lose weight. One day, he dropped some on the stove, and it hardened into a crust. After tasting it, he liked it better than what was cooking in the pot. He made a sample batch to show a friend at the Washburn Crosby Company, which later became the General Mills Company. The original mixture was too crumbly, so they came up with a better ﬂake using wheat. Jane Bausman, the wife of a company executive, thought up the name Wheaties.

There’s something fishy going on around here...

• Largest Selection of Fresh & Marine Fish

Food Fun (continued): • Did you know ketchup didn’t always contain tomatoes? The Chinese invented it in the 1600s, and this mixture had no tomatoes but a lot of pickled fish and spices. In the early 1700s, British explorers encountered the sauce in Malaysia. By 1740, it was a British staple and was then renamed ketchup. Tomatoes became an ingredient in the late 1700s when New England colonists added them to the mixture, and modern-day ketchup was born. Tomatoes may have been added sooner, but they were once thought to be poisonous. Henry J. Heinz introduced bottled ketchup in 1875, and by the 1980s, Heinz Ketchup was in one of every two American households. • In 1905 in San Francisco, an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson was mixing powdered ﬂavoring in a glass of soda and water. He accidentally left the glass with the stirring stick in it on his back porch overnight. He found it frozen the next morning. This gave Epperson an idea, and 18 years later in 1923, he started selling “the Epsicle ice pop” for five cents, later changing the name to Popsicle. • In 1930, Ruth Wakefield was making chocolate cookies at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. She ran out of baking chocolate so she broke a bar of semi-sweet chocolate into little pieces and added them to the dough. When the cookies came out of the oven, the chocolate hadn’t melted. Instead there were little chips of chocolate scattered throughout the cookie. She called her new creation Toll House Crunch Cookies. She later sold the recipe to Nestle.

• On May 6, 1937, the airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 36 passengers and crewmembers. The lighter-than-air craft was lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas. • On May 3, 1952, a ski-modified U.S. Air Force C-47 piloted by Lt. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher of Oklahoma and Lt. Col. William P. Benedict of California becomes the first aircraft to land on the North Pole. A moment later, Fletcher climbed out of the plane and walked to the exact geographic North Pole, probably the first person in history to do so. • On May 4, 1965, San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays hits his 512th career home run to break Mel Ott’s National League record for home runs. Mays would finish his career with 660 home runs, good for third on the all-time list at the time of his retirement. (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

• In 1853, at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, a diner sent an order of french fries back to the kitchen because they were too thick. The chef, George Crum, remade the fries thinner this time, but the customer sent those back too. Crum decided to teach the diner a lesson, so he sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it until it was crisp. The customer loved them. Soon other customers were asking for potato chips. Today, in the United States, a pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes. • Sometimes, a little change can yield big results. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class. • The phrase “busy as a bee” has roots in reality. To make just two pounds of honey, bees have to visit four million ﬂowers, traveling a distance equal to four times around the earth. • If you find yourself on the wrong end of a bee and get stung, grab an onion. This root vegetable contains a mild antibiotic that tames bee stings and also fights infections, soothes burns and relieves the itch of athlete’s foot.

Musicians call it a sharp, the telephone company says it’s a pound sign. In England they except for Britwww.call it a crosshatch or hash,refer .com to it as the ish Telecom operators who “square key.” And some of us remember when it was just a plain ol’ number sign or a tic-tac y toe grid. However, this being the 21st centur the symbol requires an appropriately and all, Your Name ch name, which is why people “in the high-teHere know” call the # symbol an octothorpe.

a Speaking of pound signs, the British have bone to pick with us. It seems that on their American-made computer keyboards, the octothorpe is in a place where the pound-sterling sign used to be on British typewriters. , How did £ get to be the symbol for pound anyway? Before the gold standard, English money was based on a pound weight of silver (which is why they still refer to it as “sterfor weight is “libra,” so ling”). The Latin word signed and framed the Brits took a stylized letter L as their monetary symbol. By the way, libra is also why we use “lb.” as an abbreviation for the weight

Iowa Hawkeye prints, unit “pound”.

to The percent sign is something we learned dread in math class, but loved to see at department store sales. The symbol was used to beginning no later than the 15th century indicate profit, loss, taxes and interest. The on idea of charging a portion per one hundred goods dates back to the Middle Ages, when a even the Roman emperor Augustus levied tax on slaves sold. At one time, the taxed amount was written out as “XX per cento,” As which was later abbreviated as “P cento.” ed time went on, different symbols were scrawl using a combination of the P and C characters to indicate “per cento.” An Italian manuscript dated 1425 shows an entry marked “per 0/00,” showing an early incarnation of the

? Consider this...

How did the dollar sign come to represent U.S. currency? Until 1794, the Spanish dollar a. was the main coin in circulation in Americ Properly known as the peso de 8 reales, it was “p” commonly abbreviated as a lower case and “s”, with the “s” written to the right and d above the “p.” Often the two letters crosse one another, and eventually, they melded into one symbol. It is a small bone of contention among international computer geeks that the standard key boards feature the dollar sign cy. and not the symbol of their native curren of They feel that it’s just another example American domination on popular culture.

The cent sign evolved after the dollar sign, and was simply designed as the letter “c” (for cent) with a vertical line through it to match the dollar sign. Today’s computer users may notice the lack of a cent sign on their keyold boards. (Some of us will remember our typewriters that featured the ¢ above the numeral six on the keyboard.) With the advent of computers, programmers needed certain to symbols that were regularly used in coding no be readily available. The cent sign was of on use to them, and was therefore replaced modern keyboards with the circumflex (^).

The “at” sign was so under used when it was an added to the keyboard that it was stuck in odd spot (over the “2”) and wasn’t even givin en a name. The @ symbol was only used et English-speaking countries until the Intern came along. Suddenly, the little symbol that resembled a snail was used worldwide by anyone who wanted to send email. Even though the @ is one of the most-used character keys ofon the keyboard, it still doesn’ t have an ficial name. (Suggestions are welcome, send them to us c/o Tidbits@ameritech.net.)

• In 1980 a woman named Rosie Ruiz appeared to have won the Boston Marathon in the fastest time ever recorded for a woman in that race. However, after a number of suspicions surfaced (including a strange lack of fatigue at the end of the long race), it was found that she hadn’t actually run the entire race and was stripped of her medal. The tale doesn’t end there, though. Once word got out about her fraud, people came forward with information regarding her recent running of the New York Marathon. It seems that Ms. Ruiz started the race and then took the subway to a spot 2 miles from the ﬁnish line. And in a further note, she didn’t come to a good end: Two years later she was arrested for embezzling $60,000 from her employer, and she was later arrested again for allegedly trying to sell two kilos of cocaine to a Miami police ofﬁcer. • If you’re afraid of lightning, you might want to skip over this next tidbit: At any given time around the world, there are 1,800 thunderstorms taking place. • You may have heard that the air that leaves your body when you sneeze can reach speeds of up to 115 mph, but you may not know that ordinary exhalations travel at about 15 mph. ***

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

No COLA for 2012 Either? Those in the know are already predicting what will happen with our Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) in 2012. They’re consulting charts and graphics, sharpening their pencils and guesstimating. At this point there’s good and bad news, assuming the experts are correct. The good: We’ll likely get an increase of 1.1 percent to 1.2 percent, the first increase since 2009. The bad: All of it likely will be eaten up by increases in Medicare Part B, which is deducted from our Social Security checks before we receive them. On the other hand, if the Part B increase is larger than the Social Security increase, they won’t take the difference out of our checks. Supposedly when consumer prices go up, so does our monthly check. A tiny increase apparently means our daily costs haven’t gone up much. For those who haven’t applied for Social Security yet: If you take Social Security before your Normal Retirement Age, you get dinged for the money you make. You are penalized $1 for every $2 you make above $14,160. That goes up to $1 for every $3 above $37,680. Income from pensions, capital gains and annuities is not counted. Still, if you’re “under age” and still working, yet you want to collect Social Security, do the calculations carefully. Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to have it do the calculations as well. This is no time to be wrong. Remember, too, that you’ll pay taxes on Social Security if your income exceeds a certain amount: $25,000 if you’re single, and $32,000 if you file jointly. The COLA figures for 2012 will be finalized in October. Cross your fingers.

• Roebling, believing that his bridge could be built, set his vision in motion with an elaborate plan for the project. He began to design a suspension bridge with two enormous towers that would hold the bridge’s cables and suspend the road below. In 1867, the New York State legislature gave the go ahead to Roebling as the bridge’s chief building engineer. His son Washington, also an engineer, stood at his side to share in his father’s dream. •

John Roebling, unfortunately, would never see the bridge he had envisioned, after tragedy struck on June 28, 1869. While surveying the spot where one of the Brooklyn towers would be built, a ferryboat hit the piling he was standing on and crushed his foot. His toes were later amputated, but he developed a tetanus infection and died on July 22, 1869. Roebling was the first of 20 men to die while working on the bridge.

• The project was met with much skepticism. Experts throughout the world thought that it was impossible. The bridge would have to span across 5,989 feet of water with supports anchored deep under the river. It would have to sustain the turbulence and tidal conditions of the salt-water estuary, which was one of the busiest waterways on earth, with hundreds of crafts of all sizes sailing on it at any time. Any bridge built would also have to allow for ships to pass beneath it.

• An American engineer named John Roebling had a dream of building a bridge over the East River connecting lower Manhattan with Brooklyn. His was struck with the idea after taking a ferry across the river one winter and getting stuck in the ice. Roebling had built many bridges, but this one would be a massive undertaking. His vision was grand; this would be the most difficult feat of engineering that had ever been attempted. But the challenge drove him forward.

• After Roebling’s death, the project met with more criticism. Many saw the construction of such a large bridge as fool-headedness. Washington, wanting to keep his father’s dream alive, stepped in as chief engineer. But Washington suffered a paralyzing injury as a result of decompression sickness while working within the underwater caissons upon which the bridge’s massive towers would be built. •

With Washington now debilitated, his wife Emily Warren Roebling stepped in to help. She fought for the retention of her husband as chef engineer, and for the next 11 years, she was the liaison between her paralyzed husband and the engineers on-site. From a telescope in his bedroom window overlooking the river, Washington observed the bridge’s construction all the way to its completion in 1883. It was under construction for 14 challenging years and hailed as one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century.

• The Brooklyn Bridge stands to this day as an enduring monument to the Roeblings and the American spirit. Its magnificence shows us that the most impossible dreams can be realized with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

There are many inventions that have improved our lives. Just imagine life without electricity or indoor plumbing. Curiosity and ingenuity are the parts of human nature that drive us forward to create new and inventive ways to make our lives easier and more efficient. Here are just a few of the numerous inventions that have improved, or in some cases frustrated, our lives. • Sir John Harrington, Godson to Queen Elizabeth I, is the true inventor of the ﬂush toilet. In 1596, he engineered a valve that could release water from a water closet when pulled. Lavatories were installed for the Queen at Richmond in the late 16th century. We can thank Thomas Crapper for inventing the valve-and-siphon arrangement that made our modern toilet possible, and also, the Chinese, for inventing toilet paper in 50 B.C. • After the light bulb was invented in 1848 and went into use, it actually came with a warning: “This room is equipped with an Edison Electric Light. Do not attempt to light with match. Simply turn key on wall by the door. The use of electricity for lighting is in no way detrimental to health, nor does it affect the soundness of sleep.” Joseph Swan developed a bulb before Edison, but the pair later joined forces and share credit for creating what we perhaps take for granted more than any other invention. • Alexander Graham Bell beat Elisha Gray to the patent office by just a few hours to submit his request for a patent on his invention in 1876, the telephone. Bell had been working on improving the telegraph when he discovered that different tones would vary the strength of an electric current in a wire.

• The U.S. Department of Defense conceived the idea of the internet in the 1960s. The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 by a British techie named Tim Berners-Lee. Four people used the internet in 1969; today, 1.2 billion people (19 percent of the world’s population) are connected. Together these two inventions have shrunk the world by providing instant communication and access to information.

• The technology for cell phones actually began way back with Samuel Morse and his invention of the telegraph in 1835. In 1842, Morse was conducting an experiment to show that cable could transmit signals under water when the cable was broken by a passing ship. He proceeded with his experiment anyway, passing his telegraph signals through the water itself, and it worked. This introduced the concept of wireless by conduction, and Morse’s telegraph was the first device to send messages using electricity. The technology was born! Many years and many inventors later, on April 3, 1973, the 2.5-pound hand-held phone was demonstrated by creator Martin Cooper of Motorola.

• Bell and his assistant Thomas A. Watson built a working transmitter with a membrane capable of varying electronic currents, along with a receiver that would reproduce these variations in audible frequencies. On March 10, 1876, Bell, talking through his instrument to Watson in the next room, spoke the famous first audible words to travel through a telephone: “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.”

CR Community Concert Association Presents Five Great Shows for $35 Cedar Rapids, IA – April 25, 2011 – The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association is offering another great concert lineup to its members for its 81st season. The 2011-2012 season has something for everyone, at a price we all can afford. Aion Clarke, whose smooth blend of pop, soul and big-band favorites have made him a force on the international music scene, kicks off the season in October. Singing classics like Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” and Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Me,” Aion’s on-stage presence is captivating. With recent headline performances at The MGM Grand Foxwoods and at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics – and by lending his voice to the Young Artists for Haiti campaign – Aion has established himself as a hot entertainer on the rise. In November, the John Jorgenson Quintet, led by Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson, lends virtuosity to an appealing blend of gypsy jazz a la Django Reinhardt, pop, country and a little bit of rock. Don’t miss the dazzling fret work and sizzling clarinet licks that punctuate this exciting show.

The CRCCA continues the season in March with the Rastrelli Cello Quartet and American Pop with Three Hits and a Miss. The Rastrelli CQ is not your mother’s cello quartet. These cell-istas can sound like a symphony one moment and play ragtime, jazz or even a polka the next. Their repertoire consists entirely of transcriptions of pieces not intended to be performed on the cello. Combine that with their skill and artistry, and you’ve got one exciting and entertaining program. Re-live the hits from yesterday when Three Hits and a Miss bring you American Pop. A multi-talented quartet of vocalists and musicians, Three Hits and a Miss present the billboard hits from the mid 1950s through the mid 1980s with high energy, versatility and a variety of musical formats – four and three part harmony, duos and solos, taking turns at the piano, and accompanied by bass, percussion and horns. Then in April, welcome the Walker Family, from Alaska, via Branson, aka The Redhead Express, who are equally at home playing straightforward bluegrass as they are playing their own unique renditions of old-timey and gospel music. This wholesome family showcases their four daughters’ beautiful harmonies and original songs. Mom and Dad add vocal depth and backup, and the younger siblings might even join in with their amazing talent. For 81 years, the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has offered quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Members can attend all five of these exciting concerts for one low price – just $35 before June 30. Concert dates and location will be announced in May.

It happens slowly, unnoticeably until suddenly you realize that what was once your lovely yard and garden has become an unsightly jungle of overgrown bushes, trees and weeds. You used to entertain on a wide-open patio, but now it’s barely large enough to hold a couple of chairs. Every time the mailman walks up to the front door, he has to fight his way through the bushes. Once you could see out of the front windows, but now the evergreens are so tall they block the view. When did all this happen? It seems to have occurred overnight, but as we mature, so does our landscape, often limiting the usefulness of its surrounding elements and making landscape remodeling necessary. Remodeling a mature landscape is similar to remodeling an interior room. Just as you wouldn’t start pitching all of your furniture, don’t start pulling out every plant by its roots. Take a step back, examine the elements individually and ask yourself which parts of the original landscape design are still functional or favorites that you’d like to keep. Once you’ve decided what you would like to keep, “remodel” it as necessary. Perhaps that hedge you lovingly planted as a screen 15 years ago just needs pruning. Reshape it. Cut out dead wood and thin the remaining branches for a more controlled look. Mature trees often make a healthy lawn difficult to maintain. If you have a heavy shade tree, you may want to prune away some of the upper branches of the canopy to allow more sunlight to filter through to the lawn. A professional tree maintenance company can recommend where to prune and how much pruning is necessary to achieve the effect you desire.

The front of a house should receive extra special attention since it is the first thing people see. How you choose to landscape the front of your home should reﬂect your tastes and personality. Are you formal or informal? Maybe a combination of the two would be best. There are hundreds of landscaping and outdoor design books on the market today. Most bookstores carry a wide selection, but also consult your local nursery to gather information and suggestions. Know which plants ﬂourish best in your area of the country to ensure the longevity of your landscape. For incorporating complicated structural landscaping, such as retaining walls, you may want to hire a landscape architect who can evaluate your landscape, make recommendations and create a design utilizing any elements you’d like to retain in your yard. Once the design is complete, they will present a proposal with a detailed landscape drawing. A good landscape architect will explain each of the new plantings and structures, why they were selected and how they fit into in the overall plan. They will also provide you with an outline of the construction plan with a list of materials and costs, and supervise the installation. It’s true that as our families change over time, so do the needs and desires of our landscape. As our children mature, we may find that the area of lawn that once held a swing set is now beset with first, second, third base and home plate, and the rose bushes, so inconveniently located in the batter’s box, are now being trampled. Those rose bushes can be easily moved to a more desirable location. An updated landscape can increase the value of your home and make it a more comfortable living environment for all of the members of your family.

THE

OOLONY IN N Serving fine food family style “NATIONAL” WORDS (continued): for over 75 years!

• French: Chefs know what it means to “french” a food item. It’s a verb that means to cut into thin strips, like, well, french fries. (And yes, that’s how the finger-friendly potato dish took its name.) Green beans are another item commonly prepared in this manner.

• Maltese: These tiny spaniels are easy to identify thanks to their long, silky coats. The American Kennel Club groups them with other “Toy Banquets • Meetings • Special Occasions Dogs” like Pugs and 20 Yorkshire Minutes From Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Terriers. Feline aficionados also use the term 6 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! Information in the Tidbits® Paper is gathered from sources considered to be reliable, but the accuracy of all information cannot be guaranteed.
