by Kathy Wolfe This week has been an eventful one over the years! Follow along as Tidbits investigates several happenings that have occurred during the first week of July. • Happy Canada Day! July 1 commemorates the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the province of Canada into a federation of four provinces, an 1867 event. This act created the Dominion of Canada, and July 1 was officially declared Dominion Day. It wasn’t until 1982 that the holiday’s name was changed to Canada Day, when the British Parliament relinquished all political rights over to Canada. Although countrymen had been singing “O Canada” since 1880, when the song was composed by Canada’s national musician Calixa Lavalee, it wasn’t proclaimed the country’s national anthem until Dominion Day, 1980. • On the first day of July in 1963, the U.S. Post Office instigated its new coding system to enable faster processing of mail. They dubbed it the Zoning Improvement Plan, or ZIP, for short. A five-digit code was assigned to every address across America, with the first number designating the geographical area, the second two digits identifying a regional center, and the last signifying which post office. Today, there are more than 42,000 ZIPs nationwide. Turn the page for more!

• “Don’t you think a stereo cassette player that you can listen to while walking around is a good idea?” Those were the words of Sony’s chairman Masaru Ibuka back in 1979. Ibuka traveled extensively and loved music and pitched the idea to company officials. On July 1 of that year, the Sony Walkman hit retailers’ shelves. • The year’s midpoint occurs on July 2, with 182 days passed and 182 yet to come (except in Leap years, which have one extra day in the first half). On this day in 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were heard from for the last time as they attempted to make the first round-the-world flight. Their last contact was from the vicinity of Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. • Chevrolet rolled its one-millionth Corvette off the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky, on July 2, 1992. It was a white LT1 roadster with a red interior and black roof, carrying a price tag of more than $31,000. Another automotive milestone took place on this day in 2005, when the very last Ford Thunderbird was manufactured. The Ford plant at Wixom, Michigan, produced the platinum car with black interior. Employees of the plant signed their autographs on the inside fender panels, and the two-seater was given to the great-granddaughter of company founder Henry Ford, Josephine Ford. • The Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg took place July 1-3, 1863, the largest military battle in U.S. history. Confederate troops of 75,000 under Robert E. Lee met the 97,000 men of the Union Army commanded by George Meade in the small Pennsylvania town, population 2,400. By the end of the three-day conflict, more than 51,000 were dead, along with more than 5,000 horses.

Luke and Obi-Wan are in a Chinese restaurant having a meal. Skillfully using his chopsticks, Obi-Wan deftly dishes himself a large portion of noodles into his bowl, then tops it off with some chicken and cashew nuts. All this is done with consummate ease you'd expect from a Jedi Master. Poor old Luke is having a nightmare, using his chopsticks in both hands, dropping his food all over the table and eventually himself. Obi-Wan looks at Luke disapprovingly and says, "Use the FORKS, Luke, use the Forks!"

It’s estimated that 569 tons of ammunition were used in the assault, and 634 cannons were positioned throughout the 25-square-mile area. The Confederates were defeated in the battle, but it was not to be the end of the war. It raged on for nearly two more years, although Lee’s army never recovered from the devastation. • The U.S. Second Continental Congress met from July 1-4, 1776, in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall to debate, revise and adopt the Declaration of Independence. The document had been drafted by Thomas Jefferson, listing grievances against the King of England and breaking ties between the colonies and the mother country. Fifty-six men later signed the document, and it was read publicly for the first time on July 8. • It somehow seems appropriate that two of America’s founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, should pass away on July 4. Jefferson, the nation’s third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, and John Adams, the second president, died within hours of each other in 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. • An announcement at the July 4, 1939, Yankees game saddened baseball fans across the nation. Yankee first baseman Lou Gehrig stood before the crowd and announced his retirement from baseball after being stricken with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The 36-year-old called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth” for having played 17 seasons in the major leagues. His amazing record of 2,130 consecutive games endured for 56 years, and his record 23-career grand slams remains unbeaten. Gehrig passed away less than two years later, and his number “4” uniform was retired, making him the first player to be given this honor.

The origin of Uncle Sam probably began in 1812, when Samuel Wilson was a meat packer who provided meat to the US Army. The meat shipments were stamped with the initials, U.S. Someone joked that the initials stood for “Uncle Sam”. This joke eventually led to the idea of Uncle Sam symbolizing the United States government.

• The world’s first successful clone, Dolly the sheep, was born at Scotland’s Roslin Institute on July 5, 1996. She produced six lambs before her death in 2003. Dolly was stuffed and is displayed at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. • Woolton, England’s annual parish church garden fair was the site of a momentous meeting on July 6, 1957. In addition to the dog show and scheduled brass band, John Lennon’s Quarrymen had been invited to play. Fifteen-yearold Paul McCartney was in the audience and was so impressed with the music, he asked Lennon if he might play some tunes for him. Just two weeks later, McCartney was invited to join the Quarrymen, and the rest, as they say, is history. • Chicago’s Comiskey Park was the site of Major League Baseball’s first All-Star game on July 6, 1933. The American League defeated the National League by a score of 4 to 2. • Sandra Day O’Connor grew up on an Arizona ranch, where she became an accomplished horsewoman at a young age. After graduating from Stanford University’s law school, she worked as Arizona’s assistant Attorney General, before making the move to politics as a state senator. On July 7, 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed O’Connor as the first female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, a position she retained until her retirement in 2006. Billy had never been on a deep-sea fishing boat before, and he was now thinking it was the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life. Who would ever have believed that seasickness could be this awful? With every pitch and roll, Billy wondered how he was going to survive the remaining two hours of the trip. One of the deckhands came up to him and said, "Don't worry, young fella. Nobody ever died of seasickness." "Oh noooo!!" Billy wailed... "You've just taken away my last hope for relief!"

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was revered Chinese philosopher Confucius who made the following sage observation: “He who learns but does not think is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.” ● If you ever have occasion to refer to an item that pertains to walnuts, it will be useful to have the word juglandaceous at your disposal. ● If you’re like the average American, you will eat 1.5 tons of food this year. ● Iowa has the highest literacy rate in America.

● In the grocery stores of today you might find a half-dozen varieties of apples, if you’re lucky.

Senior News Line by Matilda Charles

Grandparent Scam There’s a new twist on an old scam on seniors. The “grandparents scam” has taken a very creative turn. In the typical grandparents scam, a “grandchild” will call his grandparent and claim that there’s an emergency and that money must be wired to solve the problem. Different versions have the grandchild either in jail, stuck in a foreign country, in an accident ... it doesn’t matter, but money needs to be sent immediately. Generally a “Hi, grandma” is enough to convince a senior that it is indeed his or her grandchild on the phone. Too many times the grandparent doesn’t ask enough questions. And too often, thousands of times a year, the grandparent will send the money ... to scammers. It’s not the grandchild on the line -- it’s thieves. Now there’s a new version of this scam. Not only do the thieves know the grandchild’s name and school, they have his or her voice asking you for money for the emergency. You can thank the Internet for that. If a grandchild has posted anything online that includes their voice, scammers can use that recording to create an emergency message, all in your grandchild’s voice. All of these scams have some things in common. It’s an emergency. Money must be wired right away. If it’s not the grandchild, the scammer could claim to be an attorney or another relative. And there is a need for secrecy (“Don’t tell mom!”) You do need to consult others, though. If you get a call like this, contact the grandchild’s parents and ask what’s going on. If they’re not home, call the police. Do not send money. These thieves work out of foreign countries, and you will never get your money back.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

INDEPENDENCE HALL & THE LIBERTY BELL

In the heart of downtown old Philadelphia stands the stately Independence Hall, where much of early U.S. history was shaped. The Liberty Bell is housed in a nearby building. During this historic week, Tidbits takes a look at these symbols of our liberty. • Construction on the red brick Georgianstyle Independence Hall began in 1732, the year of George Washington’s birth. Its first purpose was as the location of the State House of Pennsylvania beginning at the time of its completion in 1753. In 1775, it became the meeting place of the Second Continental Congress, a group of representatives from each of the 13 colonies. The Assembly Room was the site of George Washington’s appointment as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in 1775. The following year, the Declaration of Independence was adopted in the same room. In 1777, the design of the American flag was approved there. The U.S. Constitution was drafted and adopted in Independence Hall in 1787. The summer of 1787 had many hot days, but the windows of the Hall remained tightly closed so outsiders would not be able to hear the discussions. • The building has a bell tower and steeple, rising to a height of over 168 feet. The steeple was the original home of the Liberty Bell. • In 1751, a new bell was ordered for the Hall, with the inscription of “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof,” a verse from the Bible’s book of Leviticus. The bell, cast in England, was raised into the steeple in 1753 and cracked the very first time it was rung, due to flaws in its casting. • Local Philadelphia craftsmen offered to melt down the cracked bell and recast it. They attempted to make it stronger by adding 10 percent more copper. This changed the tone of the bell, and there were so many complaints, the bell was melted down once again! • The bell’s composition is about 70 percent copper, 25 percent tin with traces of lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver. • Once the bell was rehung in the steeple, during the time that Philadelphia was the nation’s capital, it tolled when the legislature was called into session, when voters were summoned to elections, to celebrate July 4th and to commemorate George Washington’s birthday. In fact, the last time it was rung was on Washington’s birthday in 1846. Around 1840, a small crack began developing, affecting the bell’s ring tone. Although repairs had been attempted, on the 1846 birthday commemoration, the bell cracked significantly and was rung no more. • During the British occupation of Philadelphia in 1777, the Liberty Bell was removed from the city and hidden in an Allentown, Pennsylvania, church, for fear it would be melted down and used for cannons by the British. • The Liberty Bell no longer hangs in the steeple of Independence Hall. In 2003, it received its own home, the Liberty Bell Center, a block from Independence Hall, where the 2,080-pound bell is on display, still suspended from its original American elm yoke. It’s crack is about a half-inch wide and 24.5-inches long. The steeple of Independence Hall now holds the Centennial Bell, one created for the country’s 100th anniversary in 1876.

FIREWORKS

What better way to celebrate Independence Day than with fireworks? Here’s some information about the dynamic displays that light up the night sky. • It’s thought that gunpowder originated in China about 1000 A.D. Firecrackers consisted of bamboo shoots filled with black powder and were used to celebrate the new year. Early fireworks were not the colorful ones we know today, rather just loud explosions designed to scare away evil spirits. • China remains the largest producer of fireworks, making about 90 percent of the world’s supply. America imports close to $200 million worth of fireworks each year and manufactures over $230 million of fireworks as well. • Color was first added to fireworks in Italy in the 1830s. Different metals are responsible for the variety of colors we see lighting up the sky. Copper creates blue, barium produces ● Monday $5 burger baskets 11-8 green, calcium is responsible for orange, Tuesdaymakes $6.99 tacos and ●sodium yellow.11-8 The addition of $4.00and well Margaritas aluminum titanium will11-8 add bright white ● Thursday, $5 Dozen 4-9 pmsalts to the display, and a mix Wings of strontium and lithium salts red. ● Sunday Allwill Dayproduce Happy Hour!

● All Games In High around Definition TVS • Sparklers were created 1880, and while they may seem tame in comparison to other fireworks, sparklers actually burn at temperatures exceeding 2,000° F. over 15 times the boiling point of water. Just three sparklers burning together produce the same heat as a blowtorch! Children under five receive the most injuries from this source.

• The black powder used in the manufacture of fireworks is classified as “low explosive.” This means its detonation velocity is about 100 yards per second. Dynamite falls into the category of “high explosive” with a speed of greater than 1,000 yards per second. • The illegal M-80 fireworks, which simulate the sound of gunfire, are officially known as “military rifle fire simulators.”

• A record-setting fireworks display was set off in Portugal in 2006, consisting of 66,326 fireworks. • When King Louis XVI of France married Marie Antoinette in 1770, an impressive fireworks show of 20,000 rockets followed the ceremony to celebrate the union. More than 200,000 people packed Paris’ Place de la Concorde to view the display. However, tragedy struck afterward when a stampede occurred as people left the area, resulting in 800 deaths.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE Overcoming the Past

It’s impossible to succeed in life without overcoming the past. We spend far too much time and energy on things we can’t change rather than on the most important thing we can change – our attitude. Life is like an automobile that can spin off the road. We must get out of the ditch and keep moving forward. Here are some important things to do to get back on the road. • Get back in the driver’s seat • Keep looking through the front windshield • Use the rear-view mirror to remind you where you came from • Know where you came from because it is paving the way for where you are going • Most important: keep your foot on the gas or you won’t go anywhere

www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

• Those who manufacture and set off fireworks must wear only cotton clothing, due to the fact that static electricity in synthetic fabrics can ignite firecrackers. • Recent studies have shown that colored smoke from fireworks can be damaging to the cells that line the lungs. Breathing the smoke can be toxic to the epithelial cells, with orange cited as the most dangerous, followed by violet, red and yellow. • Every year, Disney World produces upwards of 1,000 fireworks shows. Beginning in 2004, Disney started using compressed air rather than gunpowder to launch fireworks, resulting in a reduction of smoke and fumes. This, along with electronic timers, increased the accuracy of the timing, enabling perfect choreography to music. • Although there are more than 6,000 fireworks-related injuries in the United States every year, the rate is actually on the decline, probably because the public’s preference has switched from the backyard variety to large professional shows.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta

Green Gardening Q: What are some ways that I can keep my garden environmentally friendly? -Tucker in Hartford, Conn. A: A garden by itself is a great way to make a positive environmental impact, both beautifying your property and providing lots of fresh herbs and vegetables -- so you don’t have to make as many trips to the store to buy veggies that were trucked in. But there also are direct environmental issues concerning the care of a garden, such as the impact of chemical fertilizers and bug sprays. There are a number of ways to reduce this impact: --Catch rainwater in a barrel to use in watering the lawn and garden: place the barrel underneath your home’s downspout. A covered barrel will discourage mosquitoes from taking up residence. --Build a compost pile to use as your main source of fertilizer and rich soil in the garden. --Hand-weed the garden if possible. If you must use chemical weed-killer, use it exactly as directed on the package or bottle. --Use the right amount of fertilizer recommended for the types of plants in your garden. Too much fertilizer can result in excess runoff into nearby streams or lakes, ecosystems that often are already stressed by lawn chemicals and fertilizers. --Visit a local co-op, community farm or farmer’s market to get information on organic and environmentally sustainable gardening. Classes or seminars are available in many cities for aspiring organic gardeners. There’s plenty of information out there, so head to the Internet and look around. HOME TIP: A list of tips on organic and sustainable gardening, composting and more can be found at http://www. globalstewards.org/garden-ecotips.htm.

A man decided to improve his computer skills, and threw himself into it with enthusiasm. Every week he would check out five or six instructional books from the library. After about a month the librarian commented, “Wow! You must really be getting knowledgeable by now.” “Thanks,” he said. “How can you tell?” The librarian explained, “Only two of the books you’re checking out this week have ‘FOR DUMMIES’ in their titles.”

• 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?

● Save the rubber bands from broccoli. You can put them around the body of a drinking glass so it will be less slippery as water condenses on it. ●“I save the wrappers from my unsalted butter sticks in a baggie in my refrigerator. I use them to grease a pan when baking.” -- M.M. in Wisconsin

● Corn is best cooked within a day or two of being picked, so farm-stand corn is the best. Add a little bit of milk to the cooking water, and it will bring out the natural sweetness. ● Cherries are in season! Much like strawberries, they need to be kept refrigerated but taste best at room temperature. Before eating your cherries, let them sit out for about a half-hour. Mmmmm. ● Dried lentils don’t need to be soaked prior to cooking like other dried beans. And they’re packed with protein. ● “If you lose a contact lens and can’t find it right off, try turning out the lights and shining a flashlight across the ground.

ALBEE

A couple on vacation was driving their RV through Wisconsin. As they approached the town of Oconomowoc they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth as they entered the town, and continued to bicker while they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter the husband asked the cashier, “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?” The girl leaned over the counter and said, “Burrrrrr-gerrrrrr-Kiiiing.”
