TIDBITS® SAYS,

GET A LONG LITTLE DOGGIE!

www.SteveEmig.com

by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits looks at the noble, fierce little dogs bred to hunt badgers. Dachshund means “badger hound” in German. Affectionately called “wiener dogs,” they can be very comical. • Dachshunds are good watchdogs because of their loud fierce barks, which, of course, can be annoying at times! They are loved by children because of their size and distinctive cuteness. Even though dachshunds are not known for their ease of training, they are very popular. Some say they are low-slung hounds with big attitudes! • Dachshunds are exceedingly loyal, protecting their owners in all circumstances, even when confronted by dogs five or more times their size. They are known to be tough, sweet, cuddly, affectionate, courageous, curious and lively and are always ready to make you laugh. • Illustrations from as far back as the 1500s depict dogs similar to dachshunds. Some historians believe that dachshunds have been around since ancient Egypt. However, the most widely held story of the funny little “hot dogs” origins is that they were developed in Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were bred to be dogs with excellent digging skills and the ability to chase rabbits, foxes and even more formidable animals such as boars and badgers. turn the page for more!

• The following story has never been confirmed, but it makes for great reading about hot dogs: In 1852, the butcher’s guild in Frankfurt, Germany, developed a smoked, spicy sausage in a casing that resembled the low-riding German Dachshund. It was dubbed the “little-dog” or “dachshund sausage.” Legend says that cartoonist Tad Dorgan was inspired by vendors at a 1901 polo match in New York who offered “red-hot dachshund sausages” to fans in the grandstands. Dorgan drew a smiling dachshund in a long bun for one of his cartoons. He couldn’t spell dachshund, so his caption read “hot dog!”

Vendor Paw-Looza Saturday October 6th, 2012 9AM-4PM Hiawatha Community Center 101 Emmons Street Critter Crusaders is holding it’s first vendor fair on Saturday, October 6th from 9-4.

• Traditionally, dachshunds have been seen as a symbol of Germany. During World War I, they were not wanted by the people of England or the United States. Americans began calling the dogs “liberty pups,” and political cartoonists drew dachshunds to ridicule the Germans. Some dislike for the dogs lingered during World War II but was not as widespread. Their popularity from 1930 to 1940, before and during World War II, actually advanced from 28th to sixth. After the big wars, love for dachshunds became the predominant emotion. • Dachshunds have been recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) since 1885. Today, they consistently rank in the top 10 breeds for popularity. • While the most popular dachshunds are black and tan or solid tan (red) in color, many different colors for the breed exist. The reds can vary from strawberry blonde to deep auburn; there are chocolate, crème and gray coats as well. Some interesting colorations are brindles, dapple and piebalds. There are three varieties of dachshund that can be any of the colors: wire-haired, smooth and long-haired.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE Learning To Be Content There is a multibillion dollar industry designed to get us to buy everything under the sun. The average person is plagued with more than 300 advertisements a day to persuade us to do something we don’t need to do. Rockefeller was once asked, “How much does it take to satisfy a man?” His answer was, “A little more than he has now.” Being content frees us to enjoy what we have versus being owned by what we don’t have. How can we fight the craving to have more than we need? • Make a habit of giving things away • Beware of things that feed an addiction • Ask yourself, “can I live without it?” • The most important of all; ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

• There are many famous people who have loved their pet dachshunds. The first (and maybe only) dachshunds to live in the White House belonged to U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Actually, according the New York Times, September 26, 1893 edition, the dogs were a gift for Mrs. Cleveland from the Unites States Consul in Bremen, Germany. They were sent on a 4,000-mile journey to live at the nation’s capital. Surely that was an entertaining trip for the crew. • Pablo Picasso painted many canvases and even a lunch plate with the likeness of his dachshund, Lump. Picasso actually painted a copy of a famous painting by Velazquez, called “Las Meninas.” In Picasso’s version, a large mastiff is replaced by a much smaller dog, Lump! (Lump is pronounced loomp in German and means “rascal,” appropriate for a dachshund!) • John Wayne’s family had a dachshund named Blackie who became a hero when he awakened Wayne’s wife during a house fire in 1958 with his tenacious bark. • The first dachshund in England was owned by Queen Victoria in 1839. Her husband, German Prince Albert, gave her the dog as a gift and soon brought more of the puppies to the country. The breed quickly gained popularity and was recognized by the English Kennel Club in 1877. • Gergweis, Germany, the “Dachshund Capital of the World,” once had so many dachshunds that they outnumbered people two to one. They were used as a tourist attraction! • All three “Toy Story” movies have had a “Slinky” dachshund in them who has been a big hit with kids and adults alike. The second movie actually had a real dachshund puppy in it, Buster, who helped save a toy taken to a yard sale.

• There are some exciting “wiener dog” events around the world that draw crowds for fun and laughter as the popular little dogs entertain. Even when dachshunds don’t intend to entertain, they are entertaining! • The 20th Annual Weiner Walk and Dachshund Picnic was held at Winskill Park in Tsawwassen, British Columbia in August. Some years have seen as many as 300 dog lovers and their canines. The event is put on by the Western Dachshund Club and includes walks around the park, a costume parade and contest, contests for best trick, longest dog, oldest dog and more. As could be expected, there are drinks and snacks for sale, including hot dogs! • Dachshund Races are fun events that can be found in numerous places. Dachshund lovers as well as those who just want to enjoy the comedy of the sight gather to watch the large races that are part of the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals in Buda, Texas; Los Alamitos, California; Findlay, Ohio; and San Diego, California. If you missed these big events this year, don’t worry, the finals are held prior to the Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade in December before the Holiday Bowl. The finalists get to be in the parade on the Wienerschnitzel float. (Wienerschnitzel is a chain of hot dog restaurants that celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011.) • The Dachshund Club of America opposes “wiener racing,” because many of the events precede greyhound races, which are abusive to greyhounds. Also, racing can lead to back injuries in dachshunds.

I advertise in Tidbits and also have the paper in my salon for my customers to enjoy. Even though the paper says "free", I have to chuckle when clients ask if they can take one with them. Many of my customers look for it first, for their reading selection, when they come in. Yes, I believe in Tidbits! Daryl Grecian Advanced Hair Technologies Tidbit's of Linn County has been a great, low cost way to get our message out to the public.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was American actress, screenwriter and notorious sex symbol Mae West who made the following sage observation: “You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough.” ● At the 2012 USA Memory Championship, Nelson Dellis set a new record for the memorization of random digits. At the annual event in New York City, Dellis accurately recalled a whopping 303 numbers in sequence. ● Beloved film icon James Dean was missing his front teeth; he had to wear a bridge to fill the gap in his smile. ● If you’re like the average American, at least one-tenth of the garbage you produce is made of plastic.

● The first sound recording ever made was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. It was a musical selection: “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” ● Those who study such things say that American English has roughly 20 swear words (depending, of course, on how one defines swearing). In contrast, residents of ancient Rome had a lexicon of about 800 “dirty” words to draw upon. ● If you’re planning a trip by air anytime soon, you might want to keep in mind that the busiest day in airports is Thursday. *** Thought for the Day: “The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” -- Terry Pratchett (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A burglar is stalking stealthily around the living room of the house he's just broken into. He jumps with fright when he suddenly hears a voice behind him saying "Croaoak, beware, Jesus watches you" He turns around, swings the beam of his flashlight in to direction the voice comes from and sees what indeed the voice had made him think once he was over his first fright: a parrot. The bird repeats "Croaoak, beware, Jesus watches you" The burglar walks up to the cage and asks "And what may your name be? The parrot answers "Coco." The burglar sniggers and says "I've always found that a very stupid name for a parrot." The parrot answers "Maybe, but not half as silly as Jesus for a Pitbull Dachshund"

West Nile Virus

We’re experiencing a seasonal epidemic for West Nile virus, brought on by infected mosquitoes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. West Nile virus can cause serious illness for some people, even leading to death in a small percentage, especially those who have other medical conditions and those who above the age of 50. In 2011, the total number of cases of West Nile virus for the whole year was 712. So far in 2012 the CDC has logged 1,590 cases and 65 deaths. In other words, it’s getting worse, and we need to know how to protect ourselves. A fact sheet from the CDC gives some good advice. Outside your house: Empty any containers that can hold standing water. This can include saucers under flower containers and any pots or buckets. Empty water in birdbaths weekly. It recommends emptying a pet’s outdoor water bowl weekly as well, but I would suggest doing it daily. You don’t want your pet to drink water that might have mosquito larva in it. Inside your house: Make sure all your screens are tight to the window and do not have holes. When you go out: Taking care that you don’t get bit by mosquitoes is probably the most crucial of all the preventions. Wear long sleeves and pants if you’re out when the mosquitoes are most active, which is dawn and dusk. Use an EPAregistered insect repellent. If your community decides to spray for mosquitoes as a way of controlling West Nile virus, take care not to be outdoors when they spray. Keep windows closed. For more information, especially the symptoms, go to the CDC site (www.cdc. gov) and search for West Nile virus, or call it at 1-800-232-4636.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Oct. 1, 1920, Scientific American magazine reports that the rapidly developing medium of radio soon would be used to broadcast music: “Experimental concerts are at present being conducted every Friday evening from 8:30 to 11:00 by the Radio Laboratory of the Bureau of Standards.” ● On Oct. 5, 1930, a British dirigible crashes in Beauvais, France, killing all 56 people aboard. The R-101, Great Britain’s biggest blimp, was flying only 250 feet above the ground, unbeknownst to the pilots because of the dark night. The blimp skimmed treetops before hitting a ridge, igniting the hydrogen supply. ● On Oct. 4, 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower distributes to his combat units a report by the U.S. Surgeon General that reveals the hazards of prolonged exposure to combat. Based on this evaluation, American commanders judged that the average soldier could last about 200 days in combat before suffering serious psychiatric damage. ● On Oct. 2, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson strikes out 17 Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series, breaking Sandy Koufax’s record for the most strikeouts in a Series game. ● On Oct. 7, 1975, a New York State Supreme Court judge reverses a deportation order for John Lennon, allowing him to remain legally in the U.S. The judge wrote that “The courts will not condone selective deportation based upon secret political grounds.” An FBI investigation of Lennon had turned up no evidence of involvement in illegal activities.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

THE EVERGLADES

Usually when thinking of “wilderness,” we have visions of thick green forests with tall trees, but Everglades National Park is a bit different. It is the largest wilderness area in the United States east of the Mississippi River. • Everglades National Park, established in 1947, protects over 1.5 million acres of land and water. It is the third largest national park in the continental United States, behind Yellowstone (2nd) and Death Valley (1st).

• Marjorie Stoneman Douglas came up with the phrase “river of grass” in a publication that she authored in 1947. “The Everglades: River of Grass” was a guide that raised awareness of the Everglades and helped the public to recognize that the area was not just the “proverbial swamp” that many considered it to be. It technically is a river, flowing southwest through Florida at the slow pace of about a quarter mile per day. She was a leader in promoting the Everglades to national park status. Twenty-two years later, she helped to found the “Friends of the Everglades” conservation organization. • The elevation in the Everglades ranges from sea level to 20 feet above sea level. The top spot is on a shell mound made by Native Americans located on the Gulf Coast side of the park. • The original size of the Everglades was much larger than the area protected by the National Park Service today. Years ago it spanned from Lake Okeechobee in central Florida all the way south to Florida Bay. Only 25 percent of the historic Everglades is in the park. • There are 15 endangered species within the park boundaries. Sea turtles, crocodiles and West Indian Manatees are among the protected animals. • Deeply interwoven in the park are towering palm trees, endless marshes, tropical fauna, dense mangrove stands, alligator holes and much more. All of these are important in maintaining the integrity of the Everglades. • The mangrove forests cover an estimated 469,000 acres in the state of Florida, with much of that within the protected Everglades. Mangrove roots and branches are essential for the marine animals of the region. The roots provide protection for fish, crustaceans and shellfish to raise their young. The branches are nesting areas for many beautiful coastal birds such as roseate spoonbills and brown pelicans. • Everglades National Park is a wonderful place to explore, but a knowledgeable guide is a great person to have along for unfamiliar tourists. As reported in recent years, there are not only animals that have been there for centuries that can be dangerous, but there are also some invasive species that are wreaking havoc on the area. • For years there have been stories of people spotting Burmese pythons in the Everglades. The largest snake species on earth, these giant pythons are not only living in the park, they’re also breeding and spreading to the surrounding environs of south Florida. Since 2002, more than 1,800 pythons have been removed from the park and surrounding areas. • For the health of the Everglades and all of south Florida, it is imperative that invasive species like pythons, which have been accidentally or intentionally released into the wild, be controlled.

BADGERS

Known for being incredibly strong for their size and the world’s fastest diggers, badgers are small but fierce animals. • Badgers are nocturnal omnivores, meaning they are active mainly at night and eat both plants and animals. They are known to eat insects, grubs, earthworms, birds, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, reptiles, amphibians, porcupines, honey, roots, snakes and fruit. After badgers eat rotten fruit, they appear to be intoxicated. • There are seven species of badgers that are found on four continents: North America, Asia, Africa and Europe. Most species of badger weigh 17-26 pounds • Badgers have a shovel-shaped head, sharp, strong claws and low-slung bodies. They have short legs, short necks and short bushy tails. Most species are black or gray and have white stripes down their faces and●sides.

They dig4-9 extensive ● Sunday Day Happy tunnel systemsAll to their setts.Hour! An interesting fact●about badgers is that they really get All Games In High Definition TVS into their digging — with all four feet! They can dig faster than very fit humans with a shovel. • Badgers have poor eyesight but excellent senses of hearing and smell. In fact, it is believed that the badger’s sense of smell is 700-800 times better than humans! They smell many things that humans do not and can even recognize each other by smell. • The name “badger” is probably derived from the French word bêcheur, which means digger, or maybe from the word badge as a reference to the white mark badgers have on their foreheads. In the English language the word “badger” has a meaning as a verb and as well as a noun. To “badger” someone is “to pester or worry them or to persecute them relentlessly.” • Badgers can mate at any time of year. An interesting and unusual mating fact is that they have delayed implantation. The female can choose when she wants her baby badger to start developing! This allows the mother to choose a time when she feels her offspring has the best chance for survival. • Ferret badgers are the smallest species of badger, and like ferrets, they are long and short. Ferret badgers live in Southeast Asia and are known for occasionally sleeping in trees. These little creatures usually weigh between 2 and 6.5 pounds • One food that all badgers love is earthworms. They can eat more than 200 in a day. Badgers can get all of the water they need from eating earthworms since the worms are mostly made of water. • Badgers, even though fairly small, can run at almost 20 miles per hour. This helps them escape dangerous situations. They do not usually run though. • Adult badgers have few natural enemies, as they are fierce enough to protect themselves. They have even been known to fight bears and wolves. • The state of Wisconsin is known as the “badger state.” The nickname originally referred to lead miners at the Galena lead mines in Illinois back in the 1830s. These mines were close to the Wisconsin and Iowa borders. The Wisconsin miners would live in temporary caves cut into the hillsides. Their caves were referred to as badger dens, and thus, they were nicknamed badgers. The badger was adopted as the state animal in 1957.

Overseed Lawn Now for Spring Growth Q: I have some brown and bare patches in my yard. My neighbor recommended that I thatch my entire yard, or at least the brown patches, then put some fertilizer and “overseed” the damaged areas. What kind of fertilizer is he talking about? And why seed the lawn now, when winter is coming? -- Fred D., Madison, Wis. A: Overseeding lawns can be helpful in filling in scrawny or thin areas. The idea is to overseed shortly before the first hard frost. The seeds will germinate and establish roots, which will both help the lawn come in more lush and green in the spring, as well as reduce competition from invasive weeds. However, it’s important to know what kind of grass makes up your lawn, in order to pick the right kind of seed for the job, as well as the correct type and amount of fertilizer. I’d recommend cutting a small patch of grass (including roots) and taking it to your local nursery or the lawn and garden center of your home-improvement store. While you’re getting your grass identified, ask about possible causes of the brown and bare areas. There may be a problem with air, water or light reaching those areas. Improper or excessive fertilization could be occurring. Or maybe there’s too much water in those areas due to a drainage problem. Identifying the actual cause of the brown and bare spots, and then eliminating that cause, will prevent it from coming back once you’ve repaired those areas. Once the bare and brown spots are addressed, overseeding (and reseeding bare areas) can take place. For small lawns, a handheld spreader is inexpensive and spreads seeds evenly. For larger lawns, a rotary spreader works best. HOME TIP: Prior to overseeding, mow your lawn to less than 2 inches in height if possible and collect the grass clippings so seeds can reach the soil.

● “To clean the mouthpiece on the telephone in my home, I dip a soft toothbrush into rubbing alcohol, shake off any excess and use it to brush the holes in the handset clean. I do this weekly during cold and flu season.” -- M. in Minnesota ● To keep track of rolls of tape or other rolled items in your shop, hang a length of chain from two “S” hooks on your pegboard. They will be readily accessible, and you can tear off what you need. ● “If you use those little plastic keyring cards for store rewards accounts and discount programs, you can keep them easily organized in a small photo brag book. These books can be found at drugstores and big-box retailers, and are meant for a small collection of wallet-size pictures. However, if you put your cards in one, it’s easy to flip through to find the correct card to scan.” -- R.I. in Arkansas ● Fill an easy-to-use hand-soap dispenser with body wash or shampoo for kids to use in the bath or shower. ● “Here’s a fun idea for place cards at Thanksgiving (coming up in Canada): Scan in and print out a photo of each guest as a child. Laminate it and attach it to a pretty piece of ribbon with a glue gun. Use the ribbon to tie up a napkin and/or utensils. Guests will have a good time trying to guess who’s who and reminiscing about days gone by.” -- P.D. in Ontario, Canada ● When working with juicy items (lemons, watermelon, etc.) on a cutting board, try placing the board on a kitchen towel. When the juices run off the edge, they’ll be caught by the towel. Cleanup will be easy!
