• August is a month for stray baseballs! In 1979, Seattle Mariner Ruppert Jones hit a foul ball in the Kingdome that stuck in the stadium’s loudspeaker above the first base line. The following August, Yankee Bob Watson had a hit off the Kingdome’s center-field speaker.

The very next day, Watson did exactly the same thing! Shortly after that feat, the speakers were raised from 102 feet above the field to 132 feet. In August of 1983, Yankee pitcher Dave Winfield threw a warm-up ball and accidentally struck and killed a seagull at the Toronto Blue Jays’ stadium. But pitcher Nolan Ryan was in complete control during August of 1989 when he became the first Major League pitcher to achieve 5,000 strikeouts. By the time he retired four years later, he had struck out 5,714 batters.

• In August of 1914, the 48-mile Panama Canal opened to ship traffic, with its first cargo liner, the SS Ancon. It had been under construction since 1904, and opening day was two years ahead of schedule. Nearly 27,500 people lost their lives during the construction. By passing through the canal, a ship sailing from New York to San Francisco saves about 8,000 miles over a trip around the tip of South America’s Cape Horn.

During the canal’s early days, about 1,000 ships passed through each year. That figure today is close to 15,000 ships making the nine-hour pass between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

AUGUST EVENTS (continued): • Henry Leland founded the Cadillac Automobile Company in August of 1902, naming it after his ancestor, French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.

• When William Gray’s wife became very ill in 1888, he was in desperate need of a telephone to call a doctor. There were very few phones in Hartford, Connecticut, and Gray ran to a neighboring factory, begging to use theirs, but was told it was not for public use. When the owners finally gave in to his pleading, the doctor was reached, and Mrs. Gray recovered. This incident spurred Gray, a machinist, to invent a coin-operated telephone. He received his patent in August of 1889, and the first payphone was installed at a local bank. By 1902, the United States was home to 81,000 payphones.

• The first and last atomic bombings in history took place in August of 1945. The United States dropped the first nuclear weapon, known as “Little Boy,” on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6 and the second, called “Fat Man,” on Nagasaki three days later. Fatality estimates for Hiroshima were 90,000 to 160,000 people and 60,000 to 80,000 for Nagasaki.

• On an August morning in 1907, Seattle residents shopped at the Pike Place Market for the first time. This famous street market came into being because citizens were tired of being overcharged for their produce. Avoiding the middleman, farmers brought their wares to the corner of First Avenue and Pike Street, and were met by more than 10,000 shoppers. Today the Market’s nine acres house more than 200 fulltime businesses and 190 craftspeople, as well as 100 farmers who rent space by the day. The Market is also home to 300 apartments. It’s now one of Washington state’s most popular tourist attractions, drawing 10 million visitors annually.

The annual World’s Longest Yardsale starts on the first Thursday in August along US Rte 127 (through Tennessee and Kentucky), and continues four days through the weekend, ending on Sunday.

AUGUST EVENTS (continued):

• Visit Twinsburg, Ohio, during the first weekend of August, and you can get in on the Twins Day Festival. When it began in 1976, the community hosted 37 sets of twins. Attendance reached a peak of 2,680 sets in 1994 and settled in at 1,700 last year. The Festival doesn’t limit itself just to twins —They happily welcome all multiples to a weekend with featuring a parade, talent shows and musical entertainment.

• We’ve all heard of the Cy Young Award, but how much do we really know about Cy Young?

Denton T. (Cy) Young pitched his first major league baseball game in August of 1890 for the Cleveland Spiders. He was the first to pitch a perfect game and was responsible for many other records, some of which still stand. Young has the most career wins (511) and the most innings pitched (7,355) during his 22-year pro ball career. The Cy Young Award, which honors the season’s best pitcher, was established in 1956, the year after his death.

• The United States’ first official census commenced on the first Monday in August of 1790.

• During the first week of August every year, the community of Sturgis, South Dakota, population 6,400, hosts the Black Hills Classic Motorcycle Rally. Begun in 1938 with nine bikers in a half-mile race, the event now draws hundreds of thousands of participants. Record-setting attendance was at the rally’s 60th anniversary in 2000, when more than 600,000 bikers cruised into Sturgis. In 1976, the average amount spent per person was $50. Today that figure tops $1,000. The community’s businesses earn 95 percent of their annual revenue during this one week, and the state’s coffers are filled with about $1 million in sales tax alone.

One of the world’s most famous meteor showers, the Perseids, happens in the middle of August every year.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver ● It was American ventriloquist and comedian Willie Tyler who made the following sage observation: “The reason lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn’t there the second time.” ● Even flight attendants have their own

patron saint, as declared by Pope Paul XXIII in 1962: Saint Bona of Pisa. ● Many people believe that the Guten-

berg Bible, which came from the presses of Johannes Gutenberg in the 1450s, is the first example of a printed book, but that’s not true; it’s the first book printed using movable type. The oldest known printed book is actually the “Diamond Sutra,” which was printed in China more than 550 years before the Gutenberg Bible. ● In many Middle Eastern cultures,

Sudoku by Linda Thistle

it is traditional to celebrate a wedding with five events. The first is the engagement party, during which the bride-to-be changes clothes several times. When the bride and groom sign the marriage contract there is another party, again with numerous changes of clothing by the bride. The day before the wedding there is a henna party, during which the bride and others are painted with elaborate designs that are thought to ward off evil spirits. The reception takes place after the wedding, and guests are often given five almond pieces, each piece symbolizing one of the sacred wedding wishes: health, happiness, wealth, longevity and fertility.

Seven days after the wedding is the final celebratory event, known as sabaa, which is for women only and is analogous to the wedding shower we have in the West. ● The town of North Pole, Alaska, is ac-

tually 1,700 miles south of the planet’s geographical North Pole. *** Thought for the Day: “The nice thing about egotists is that they don’t talk about other people.” -Lucille S. Harper (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

ROB’S RHYMES® Second chances in life are as rare as a vegetarian mosquito Fate may be fickle, as a poet and a dreamer, what do I know If love claims that piece of your heart, it will always stay true Maybe age never erases the past, old is old, never again new Hope, even if it is false, serves life better than no hope at all Does God intervene when fate fails to listen to love’s true call Waiting for that chance to turn again, dreaming in those lights I’ll stop swatting mosquitoes, waiting for one that never bites

● On Aug. 23, 1814, during the war of 1812, first lady Dolley Madison abandoned the couple’s personal belongings to save the full-length portrait of former president George Washington from desecration by vengeful British soldiers.

The next night, British troops burned the White House. ● On Aug. 24, 1875, Captain Matthew Webb of Great Britain becomes the first man to successfully swim the English Channel without assistance. Webb reached shore in 21 hours and 45 minutes. In 1883, Webb attempted to swim the Niagara River, and drowned in 10 minutes. His body was found four days later. ● On Aug. 28, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson is picketed by woman suffragists in front of the White House, who demand that he support an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee women the right to vote. Wilson had a history of lukewarm support for women’s suffrage even, though he was a former teacher at a women’s college and the father of two daughters.

August 1, 1838 - Slavery was abolished in Jamaica.

It had been introduced by Spanish settlers 300 years earlier

● On Aug. 25, 1944, after more than four years of Nazi occupation, Paris is liberated by the French 2nd Armored Division and the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. German General Dietrich von Choltitz defied an order by Adolf Hitler to blow up Paris’ landmarks and burn the city to the ground before its liberation. ● On Aug. 27, 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, is found dead of an accidental drug overdose in his Sussex, England, home. The world might never have heard of the Beatles were it not for Epstein. Just a few months after being hired he got them their first recording contract with Parlophone Records.

Canned Vegetables Are Better Than None

Did you know it’s possible to suffer from malnutrition even if you’re eating three times a day? That can happen easily to seniors who find it hard to be motivated to cook and end up just snacking throughout the day.

A changing sense of smell and taste, loneliness after the death of a spouse, medications and boredom are a few of the reasons we don’t eat as well as we should. But with a little ingenuity, it’s easy to fix fast, easy meals you’ll actually eat! Here are some ideas: ¥ Use your slow cooker. All the ingredients are assembled in the pot in the morning, and are ready by dinnertime. ¥ The variety of cookbooks on the market is amazing. Investigate cookbooks that offer recipes with only five ingredients, diabetic recipes, meals that take less than 20 minutes to prepare, and prepared foods combined with your own easy additions. ¥ Double the amounts you prepare, and freeze the rest for days when you really don’t want to cook at all. Be sure to label the container and use it within a few weeks. ¥ If income allows, consider ordering one week of a plan where meals are delivered to your door. While the cost would be prohibitive to do this constantly, having a few meals in the freezer would be handy for those times you don’t want to cook. ¥ Take a cooking class and learn steps to fix quick meals. ¥ Ask your doctor for a referral to a nutritionist if you need help with creating a menu, portion sizes and nutritional values.

If you’re truly stuck in a not-cooking rut, in a pinch, remember: Canned fruit and vegetables are better than none at all.

Peanut butter on crackers with a banana offers nutrition. It takes only a few minutes to scramble eggs, add cheese and make toast.

• As a young boy, Owens took odd jobs to help his family — delivering groceries, loading freight cars and working at the local shoe repair shop. His running career started during junior high under the encouragement of coach Charles Riley, who allowed him to practice early in the morning in order to make it to his after-school job.

• During his years at Cleveland’s East Technical High School, Owens matched the world record in the 100-yard dash of 9.4 seconds. It was on to Ohio State University, where he became known as the “Buckeye Bullet.” At 1935’s NCAA Big Ten meet in Ann Arbor, Owens set three world records and tied a fourth, a feat accomplished over a 45-minute span. His long jump record of 26 feet, 8.25 inches was to endure for 25 years. His college career boasted a record eight individual NCAA championships.

• Yet for all his success, Owens was made to live off campus, as were all African American athletes.

When traveling with the team, he was forced to eat at blacks-only restaurants and overnight at blacks-only hotels, separate from the rest of the team. He received no scholarships for his athletic prowess, having to pay for his schooling through part-time jobs as a waiter, night elevator operator and gas station attendant.

• Owens traveled to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin under a cloud of racial prejudice.

Adolf Hitler, hoping for German domination at the Games, was promoting “Aryan racial superiority,” and Nazi propaganda portrayed Africans as inferior. Owens took the world by surprise when he took the gold in the 100 meters, the 200 meters, the long jump and, as a member of the relay team, became the first American track and field athlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympiad. On the first day of competition, Hitler shook hands with German winners only, leaving the stadium immediately afterward. When Olympic officials were adamant that he either congratulate every medalist or greet none, Hitler declined to attend the remaining medal presentations.

• The racial prejudice continued on the home front when Owens had to ride the freight elevator at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to a reception following a ticker-tape parade honoring his victories. He later said that Franklin Roosevelt, “snubbed me. The President didn’t even send me a telegram.”

Yet that didn’t hinder Owens from becoming a sought-after inspirational speaker and serving underprivileged youth. Surprisingly, this fine athlete was a cigarette smoker for 35 years and succumbed to lung cancer at age 66.

Track and field Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens set record after record, but not without having to hurdle over many obstacles along the way. This collection of facts will help you learn more about this amazing champion.

• James Cleveland Owens was the son of a sharecropper farmer and the grandson of a slave.

His family migrated from Alabama in 1922 when he was nine years old, joining 1.5 million other African Americans moving north out of the segregated South. The Owens family settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where Owens received his lifelong nickname from a teacher who had difficulty with his Southern drawl. Called “J.C.” by his family, when he told the teacher his name, she interpreted it as “Jesse,” and the name stuck.

WHY USA !! America’s Real Estate Alternative!

By David E. Pitts WHY USA is an acronym for "We Hear You America". Americans wanted a real estate alternative.

WHY USA came up with $990 SELLS HOMES, which gave sellers the desired alternative.

In 1988, WHY USA introduced a revolutionary new system for buying and selling real estate. It enabled homeowners to sell faster and save thousands. It helped home buyers find the right home and then buy it for less. It gave sellers an opportunity to save money and maximize their “net” proceeds. It gave real estate agents a consumer friendly program to attract more business.

The founder of WHY USA asked his sellers, “ if there was a way for you to save thousands of dollars $9,750 $12,250 $15,250 Call For Estimate.

$990 sells homes program was born. But there is more! WHY USA agents teach sellers how to get buyers to sign in on an open house guest register sheet. Then this list becomes a list of extra buyers. We then share these extra buyers with our other sellers with WHY USA. It's a well-planned cooperative system where each seller's effort helps every seller win. In addition to that, WHY USA agents can contact these buyers for “feedback“ to share with the sellers so that sellers can adjust for any negative issues with their home. WHY USA agents feel one of the most important services they can offer their seller is this feedback, not only from open houses but from any showings on their property by other agents and their buyers.

≈≈≈ THE MAID RITE LEGEND ≈≈≈

In 1926, Fred Angell, a butcher in Muscatine Iowa, combined a special cut and grind of meat with a selected set of spices and created the Maid-Rite sandwich. Angell asked a delivery man to taste his “newest sandwich invention”. After a few bites, the taster exclaimed, “You know, Fred, this sandwich is made right!”

Word of Fred Angell’s delicious sandwich spread, and soon he was receiving requests for his secret seasoning, preparation, instructions and equipment to prepare the unique sandwich. Later that year, franchises were sold to individuals across the country and thus was born one of America’s first fast-food franchises. The first four original franchises granted in the 1920’s are still in operation today!

• Maltese: These tiny spaniels are easy to identify thanks to their long, silky coats. The Kennel Club groups 2 American them with other “Toy Dogs” like Pugs and 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!

• When Max Yasgur was approached about a 1970 encore festival, the answer was no, in Yasgur’s words, “I’m going back to running a dairy farm.” He was sued by neighbors for property damage and incurred severe damage to his own farm. He was awarded a $50,000 settlement.

The community of Bethel further prevented a second concert by passing “mass gathering” laws. Yasgur sold his farm in 1971 and died two years later at age 53. Rolling Stone magazine featured a full-page obituary, something that very few non-musicians have ever received.

• The year after Woodstock, a documentary film chronicling the event was released, an effort that received the Academy Award for Best Documentary. The proceeds financed the settlements of the 80 lawsuits that were filed against the organizers, as well as their $1.4 million debt.

• The first band to sign a contract for the festival was Creedence Clearwater Revival for the sum of $10,000.

• Rains in the days prior to the event produced muddy roads and fields. Massive traffic jams clogged roads unequipped for the volume of people. There were inadequate sanitation facilities and first-aid for the number of people and shortages of food and water. But nothing seemed to dampen the spirits of the fans as they listened to a total of 32 performances at the threeday event, including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, the Grateful Dead and Joan Baez.

Artists that may have forever regretted declining the offer to perform included the Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Doors and Led Zeppelin.

• Three recorded deaths occurred during the Woodstock Festival, including a heroin overdose. Another concert-goer sleeping in a neighboring hayfield was killed when a tractor ran over him. A baby was born in a car stuck in the traffic jam, while another mother-to-be was airlifted by helicopter from the scene to a nearby hospital where she gave birth.

• It was the organizers’ wish that the Festival be closed out with singing cowboy Roy Rogers crooning “Happy Trails,” but when approached by the executive producer, Rogers turned him down. Fans had to settle for Jimi Hendrix shutting it down on Monday morning.

• Three days before the festival was to begin, the organizers realized that the fences around the area would present a problem with the anticipated crowds and removed them. This resulted in the concert becoming free for thousands that streamed into the area. By the time the music was set to begin, there were 500,000 concert-goers.

• The citizens of Bethel immediately protested the upcoming gathering, and promoters continually told town officials that there would be no more than 50,000 attendees. About 186,000 advance tickets were sold prior to the concert at a price of $18, about $105 in today’s money. Promoters were expecting 200,000 fans.

It was 41 years ago this month that Woodstock made the headlines as the biggest rock festival of its time. Tidbits invites you to learn more about this musical gathering as we revisit the event.

• Its official title was “The Woodstock Music and Art Fair — an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.” Dairy farmer Max Yasgur agreed to allow the festival to be held on his 600acre farm near Bethel, New York, a community 43 miles southwest of Woodstock, New York.
