TIDBITS® GETS A LITTLE BIT

POLITICAL

by Patricia L. Cook

This Tidbits shares some interesting election trivia. With another presidential election happening in the United States, maybe it is time for some election news you may not have heard; funny, sad, and maybe a bit absurd!

• The youngest man elected president was John Kennedy who was 43. Most Americans are aware of that news but did you know that Theodore Roosevelt was actually younger, 42, when he was elevated to president from vice president?

He filled the position when William McKinley was assassinated.

•The oldest president elected was Ronald Reagan who was 69. Reagan and Gerald Ford were the two presidents who lived the longest after serving, both living to age 93.

• Young Grover Cleveland was only nineteen, not even old enough to vote, when he worked on James Buchanan’s successful Democratic run for the presidency in 1856. After Buchanan, there would not be another Democrat in the White House until Cleveland himself was elected 28 years later in 1884!

Buchanan was the only president that never married.

Of Linn County

• Six U.S. presidents had no children. John Tyler had the most, fifteen! Tyler was called “His Accidency” by opponents, being the first vice president called to fill the office of president by the death of his predecessor, William Henry Harrison. Harrison died of pneumonia after only being in office 32 days, the shortest term of any U.S. president.

• There have been short and tall presidents, with James Madison the shortest at only 5’4”. Abraham Lincoln was the tallest at 6’4”, with Lyndon Johnson only a ½ inch under him. James Madison was also the lightest president, weighing only about 100 pounds.

William Howard Taft was the heaviest at about 300 pounds and actually had a bathtub installed in the White House that would fit four normal sized men!

• His size was not the most unusual thing or memorable trivia about William Howard Taft, it was his activity after he was president.

He served as a Professor of Law at Yale until President Warren G. Harding selected him to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court eight years after his service as president, in 1923. In 1925, Calvin Coolidge was the first and only president to be sworn in by a former president.

•

Taft, said that his greatest honor was serving as Chief Justice. He wrote: “I don’t remember that I ever was President.”

• When the government for the United States of America was first formed, there were no political parties. George Washington served as president with no political party affiliation.

A Senator is shaking hands with the voters after being elected for the second time.

"Pleased to meet you," says one old man, "I've heard a lot about you in the past few years."

The Senator laughs: "You can't prove any of it!"

A old man was sitting in the front row at a town meeting, heckling the mayor as he delivered a long speech. Finally the mayor could stand it no longer, so he pointed to the heckler and said, "will that gentleman please stand up and tell the audience what he has ever done for the good of the city."

"Well Mr. Mayor," the man said in a firm voice. "I voted against you in the last election."

• When the U.S. Constitution was written, there was no mention of political parties.

Most of the framers of the document hoped that no political parties would form. They hoped the new country would be such that everyone would just “get along!” (agree!)

•

The current two party system, with Democrats and Republicans, has been part of the political system in the U.S. for years. The first party was originally formed from many of the advisers that George Washington consulted with. Oddly the first political party, started in 1792, was called the Democratic-Republican Party.

•

Many changes have happened with the political parties through the years.

Smaller parties have tried to gain power but have never been very successful. The Republicans and Democrats are still the main newsmakers.

POLITICAL (continued):

The first political parties for the U.S. started in the late 1700s. On February 12, 1798, Thomas Jefferson wrote: “Two political sects have arisen within the U.S., the one believing that the executive is the branch of our government which the most needs support; the other that like the analogous branch in the English government, it is already too strong for the republican parts of the Constitution.” The former were called federalists, sometimes monocrats and sometimes aristocrats, sometimes tories like the corresponding group in the English government. The latter were called republicans, whigs, anarchists, jacobins, and sometimes disorganizers.

• Canada has also been a country dominated by two political parties, today the Liberal and Conservative parties. An interesting time in Canadian history was when there were seven distinct political parties in the legislature in 1854.

TOOLS 4 LIFE

BY DR. JIM COYLE The Windshield is Bigger than the Rear View Mirror If we can use the windshield as an example of the journey of life, it is much bigger than the rear view mirror. The rear view mirror reflects on where I have been while the windshield shows where I am going. Too often I focus on what is behind me rather than what is ahead of me. If my eyes are focused on the rear view mirror I am in danger of getting into another crash.

The past crashes are what have gotten me to the present journey allowing me to see through the much bigger windshield. One of the keys to victory in life is to use what is behind me to focus on what is ahead me. I can’t move forward if my eyes are focused on the past. I must look straight ahead using the things behind me as experiences to fuel where I am going. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com "What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?"

• The Canadian parties at the time were four groups from Northern Canada: 1) the Tories, 2) moderate Conservatives, led by the first Prime Minister of Canada, John A. Macdonald, known as “Sir John A.,” 3) Baldwin Reformers, who were moderate Liberals, 4) and the Radical or advanced Liberal party, known as the “Clear Grits.” The other three parties were from Lower Canada. They were: 1) Parti Bleu, the majority of the French Canadians, considered a liberal party even though most French Canadians were conservative, 2) the Parti Rouge, which was a small party of French Canadian Liberals, some who were rather radical, and lastly, 3) an English-speaking minority in Lower Canada.

• People all over the world get fed up with politics. At a parliamentary election in Naples, Italy in 2008, a 41-year-old man ate his ballot in protest to the country’s politicians! He was charged with destroying election materials.

• In 2004, a woman in England was fined for trying to register her cows, Henry and Sophie Bull and her dog, Jake Woofies, as voters. Her barn was listed as a separate property and when forms asked who the residents of the property were, she listed the animals!

• For a last Tidbit on elections, imagine the confusion if our North American countries had the diversity of over 1,000 political parties!

According to the Election Commission of India, that is the estimate of parties that exist in India. The commission has a list of symbols that political parties can use to represent their groups, including a kite, diesel pump, kettle, pressure cooker and many others. As you vote, be glad that we do have elections and that our ballots don’t contain pressure cooker and kite parties!

Here in New England, our evening walking group has stopped for the season. It was a nearly unanimous decision, given the recent daily rain, dropping temperatures and earlier sunsets. I was the only holdout in the vote to stop walking until spring.

If I’m going to continue to get any exercise as fall moves into winter and it’s too cold to go out, I’m going to have to plan for it and buy a few small pieces of equipment to keep in the house.

If you’re also forced indoors by cold weather, a “mini stepper” can serve as a temporary replacement for outdoor walking or using a treadmill at the gym. The mini stepper has a place for both feet, and you just walk in place.

The one I have my eye on is the The Wagan Compact Mini Stepper Exerciser, Model 2272. I found it on the Safe Home Products website (www.safehomeproducts.com). This stepper has a tubular steel frame with handholds for better balance, adjustable tension for a harder or easier workout, and it only takes up about 1 square foot of floor space.

If you aren’t sure of your balance, a “peddler” might be perfect for you. With a peddler, you sit in a chair and peddle like you’re on a bicycle.

To make sure of getting an upperbody workout, take a look at handheld weights. If weight on your hands is a problem, you might want the kind that strap to your wrist. Either one would give a mild workout to shoulders and arms.

Before you purchase any exercise gear, ask your doctor if he thinks it would be right for you.

Each state’s electoral votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on the 6th of January in the year following the meeting of the electors.

Members of the House and Senate meet in the House chamber to conduct the official tally of elector votes. This is the final chance that they have to bargain with each other over the outcome of the election. Sometimes it boils down to a coin toss.

THE BERLIN WALL Nove3mber 6th 2012

December 22– January 19 Tis the season to give.

Start with those at home, Capricorn. Tiny gestures of kindness will make a world of difference in how an idea is received.

January 20– February 18 You’re not one to make waves, Aquarius, but you have no choice.

Some policies call for questioning. A friend seeks gift ideas in a most unusual place.

June 22– July 22 It’s all in the details, Cancer. Leave no stone unturned. An olive branch is extended.

Take it, or risk a great loss. Finances improve dramatically.

July 23– August 22 Opportunity rises. Milk it for all it’s worth, Leo. What appears to be a small favor might not in fact be so small. Do your homework before you say yes.

August 23– September 22

February 19– March 20 Confidence wanes and progress slows.

The trick to getting everyone back on board is at hand, Pisces. Get a move on! A story comes to a riveting end.

Efforts to go green wane as the pace picks up at home. Remember what is at stake, Virgo, and you will recover your resolve. An organization needs your support.

March 21– April 19 Youngsters test your patience this week, Aries. Don’t react.

You’ll only make things worse. Persevere and calm will pervade.

Trash becomes treasure.

September 23– October 22 Plan ahead, Libra, and all will go well. Fly by the seat of your pants, and you will know it.

Financial tips come from someone worth listening to.

April 20– May 20 Press on, Taurus, and pay those naysayers no heed. You will succeed.

A romantic dinner for two gets the weekend off to a rockin’ start.

Enjoy!

May 21– June 21 Prepare for blastoff, Gemini. You get the green light on a project and all systems are go. Choose your team carefully. The wrong skill set could bring everything to a halt.

October 23– November 21 Know your limitations, work within them and you will go further than you ever thought possible, Scorpio. A gift from afar raises spirits all around.

November 22– December 21 Enough, Sagittarius.

You may be accustomed to spreading yourself thin, but a loved one is not.

Stop volunteering until your schedule is clear.

The Berlin Wall started as a barbed wire fence, constructed overnight as Berliners slept.

Imagine the shock of finding you couldn’t cross from one side of the city to the other.

• The city of Berlin and country of Germany was divided at the conclusion of World War II. The Soviet Union and communism controlled the East, with the allied powers of Great Britain, France and the United States controlling the West in a democracy. So it was a West vs.

East; democracy vs. communism divide.

• By 1949, the division of Germany and the city of Berlin was official. West Germany was called the Federal Republic of Germany and East Germany was the German Democratic Republic. Since Berlin was entirely within the East, and it was agreed that the city would be divided, West Berlin was like an island of democracy within East Germany, surrounded by a wall.

• When the Germans in the Soviet-controlled East became disillusioned with the economic and political oppression of communism, many defected to the West. Approximately 1,500 people per day were fleeing to the West seeking democracy by 1961.

• Rumors arose that the German Democratic Republic was going to do something drastic to stop the movement of people to the West. That became a reality during the night of August 12-13, 1961, when soldiers and construction crews were brought in after midnight. While the people of East and West Berlin slept, crews tore up the streets, put up concrete posts and strung barbed wire separating the east and west. They even cut the telephone lines.

• Upon awakening on the morning of August 13th, Berliners were shocked to see the border. They could no longer visit friends and relatives on the other side. More than 60,000 commuters who went to better-paying jobs in West Berlin could not cross the line to work.

If a person went to sleep on August 12th away from their loved ones on the other side of the city, they were stuck there, unable to return for decades.

• The fence constructed in 1961 was easy for people to cross so in 1962 a second fence parallel to the first was erected. The area between the fences was cleared to create an empty space where guards could see escape attempts.

• By 1965 a concrete wall was added. It stood until a more sophisticated wall was built in 1975. This wall was also accompanied by over 300 watchtowers and thirty bunkers to keep people from crossing the border.

• President Ronald Reagan spoke to the people of West Berlin on June 12, 1987. His words were some of the most memorable of his presidency: “General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

• The Wall, in its final reinforced state, stood until November 9, 1989.

Thousands of Germans demanded passage through the gates after the government announced that “private trips abroad” would be allowed.

They, literally, tore the wall down.

• Reunification of Germany was formally concluded on October 3, 1990. The infamous wall stood from August 13, 1961 until November 9, 1989.

Since the late '30s, the U.S. government has commissioned vehicles for presidential use, and those vehicles require advanced communications equipment, convenience features, armor plating and defense countermeasures. American cars are traditionally chosen for the role; the current limousine style used is worth about $300,000, and is also called Cadillac One, or "The Beast."

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● Those who study such things say that if all the gold in the world were combined in one lump, it would result in a cube that measures 20 yards on each side. ● If you’re planning a trip to Lima, Peru, you might want to add Puente de Piedra to your sightseeing list. Though the Spanish name means “Bridge of Stone,” the span is popularly known as the Bridge of Eggs. Legend has it that in 1608, the builders the used the whites of 10,000 seabird eggs in the mortar that holds the stones together. ● Pumpkins are native to the Americas, not Europe. This is why the original jack-o’-lantern was a turnip. ● What do the words “obscene,” “tranquil,” “mediate,” “catastrophe,” “dire,” “critical,” “vast” and “apostrophe” have in common? All of them appeared in print for the first time in the works of William Shakespeare. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Ceramic Tile Floor Marred by Scratches Q: My kitchen has a ceramic tile floor, and several of the tiles have so many scratches that they look dull even after cleaning. Can I repair the scratches, or does the tile need to be replaced? -- Carol in Eau Claire, Wis. A: Glazed ceramic tiles are tough and resistant to most of the wear and tear that happens in high-traffic areas, but they can still become scratched or dull over time. If the scratches are minor -- they mark the finish but don’t go all the way through the color glaze -- it’s possible to polish them out.

First, clean and mop the floor so that you have a clear, debris-free surface to work on. Next, starting with the first scratched tile, apply a small amount of brass cleaner/polish to the scratch with a lint-free cloth, rubbing in circles. Let the polish dry, then buff away. If you don’t have brass cleaner, toothpaste or baking soda can be used.

To temporarily protect the tile surface, apply a bit of car wax -- a plain paste wax, not cleaner wax, which has an abrasive in it -- to the tile.

Tiles that have been scratched too deeply to buff out or that are cracked or broken should be replaced. Locate extra tiles, if you have them, or purchase matching replacement tile (you may need to take a piece of the damaged tile, once removed, to match the color).

Use a grout saw to carefully cut away the grout around the edges of the damaged tile. This creates a little wiggle room to loosen the tile without damaging surrounding tiles. Next, using a hammer and small chisel, gently tap the tile loose. (Place the chisel on or near the damage rather than at the edge of the tile where other tile might be damaged.)

It’s OK if the damaged tile chips or cracks -- save it to do your color match.

Once the tile is removed, brush or cut away debris or loose adhesive. Fit the new tile into the open space; if the tile fits correctly, apply a coat of tile adhesive to the back and fix it so that the spacing between the tile’s edges and the edges of the other tiles is even. Let the adhesive dry completely, and then fill the edges with grout that matches the color of the surrounding grout.

HOME TIP: Scraps of carpet and extra tiles are important to keep around for small repair jobs. Store them in one designated place, like a box or on a shelf in the garage, until needed.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

• On Nov. 7, 1776, Congress chooses Richard Bache to succeed his father-in-law, Benjamin Franklin, as postmaster general. Franklin invested nearly 40 years in the establishment of a reliable system of delivering mail. He was fired in 1774 for opening and publishing Massachusetts Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson’s correspondence.

• On Nov. 5, 1895, Rochester, N.Y., patent attorney George Selden wins U.S. Patent No. 549,160 for an “improved road engine” powered by a “liquid-hydrocarbon engine of the compression type.” With that, as far as the government was concerned, George Selden had invented the car -though he had never built a single one.

• On Nov. 10, 1928, the first installment of “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Erich Maria Remarque’s acclaimed novel of World War I, is first published in serial form. Remarque’s realistic depiction of trench warfare from the perspective of young soldiers was eventually translated into more than 20 languages.

• On Nov. 8, 1951, Yankees catcher Yogi Berra is voted the American League’s most valuable player for the first time in his career. He went on to be the league MVP twice more, in 1954 and 1955.

• On Nov. 9, 1965, the biggest power failure in U.S. history occurs as all of New York state, and parts of seven neighboring states and eastern Canada are plunged into darkness. The blackout during the evening rush hour trapped 800,000 people in New York’s subways and stranded thousands more in office buildings and elevators. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

SWEATER WEATHER

In many areas November is still “sweater weather.” It’s not cold enough for winter coats but a nice wool, cashmere or even a cotton or synthetic sweater is just right for the cool temperatures.

• Sweaters have been around for centuries. The need for something warm to add a layer for cool days brought about the hobbies of knitting and crocheting.

• Sweaters were only used for warmth or as athletic items, not fashion, until the 1920s.

When Lana Turner appeared in a fashionable sweater in the 1937 movie, “They Won’t Forget,” sweaters became a fashion statement “must” for women.

Lindale Mall lower level 365-4265 Not valid with any other offer or specials • No Purchase necessary • No cash value Cranky Hank’s owner, Keith Hazen, isn’t really cranky at all. In fact, he’s a jovial guy who prides himself on running a family-friendly restaurant.

Cranky Hank’s is actually named for Hazen’s dad, a former Marine who liked yelling — and pizza. The restaurant’s slogan, “Stop your Belly Achin’,” is exactly the sort of thing the elder Hazen would say, he says, and the grumpylooking man on Cranky Hank’s signs is a caricature of the real-life Hank, who died in 1992. The restaurant, in the lower level of the Lindale Mall, is clean and bright, with an open kitchen so customers can watch pizza makers — including Hazen — toss dough and pull pies out of a large, vintage pizza oven.

He even had the ceiling raised so he could toss the dough.

“You will not find a scale in my kitchen,” explains Hazen. “Each pizza is an individual craft.”

On Friday and Saturday evenings, pizza-makers offer dough-throwing lessons to their younger patrons. There is also kids-only karaoke on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The pizza is “Quad Cities style,” meaning it’s the style of pizza you’ll find at Harris Pizza, Frank’s Pizzeria, Sluggers Pizza and other local spots in the Quad Cities area, says Hazen, who grew up in East Moline. It’s a little sweeter crust, a little spicier sauce and it’s also cut in strips, not wedges. The dough and sauce are both made in-house. Staff members also shred their own cheese and make their own sausage.

• Fred McFeely Rogers, started the series, Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood in 1966. Prior to the show that made him a household name in children’s programming, he had produced The Children’s Corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the early 1950s, winning the first of many television awards.

• A gentle, humble television star, Mr. Rogers became the symbolic sweater-wearer. His show would start by him entering his “television house” after walking from his office. He entered wearing his formal business attire and as he sang the words, “won’t you be my neighbor,” he would change into more comfortable clothes like his sweater and sneakers. This was the way he chose to get comfortable with friends as he shared his day with them in the “land of makebelieve” and other areas of his neighborhood.

• Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood is still showing, in fact, it is the longest-running program on public television.

• President George W. Bush presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mr. Rogers in 2002, recognizing his contribution to the well-being of children and his long career in public television that demonstrated kindness, compassion and learning. The medal is the highest civilian award given in the United States.

• In his show, when Mr. Rogers would change his shoes and put on his sweater, he was showing skills as well as routines that children needed to learn. He always put his shoes away and hung up his clothes, showing responsibilities that they needed to learn.

• The type of sweater that Mr. Rogers wore was a cardigan. Typically they button or zip down the front. Even though he made the sweater popular for his television audience, it had been around for centuries. The sweater was named after the 7th Earl of Cardigan, James Thomas Brudenell, a British military commander. A cardigan sweater is normally made by machine or hand knitted from wool.

• Fishermen of France and the British Isles were probably the first people to use cardigans.

The heavy, hand-knitted wool was helpful in keeping them warm out on the water on gloomy days.

• The Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland at the mouth of Galway Bay on the Atlantic Ocean, an area where fishing and farming have been closely connected for centuries, are known for their wool sweaters. The outdoor workers needed warm coverings to keep warm during North Atlantic winters.

• The sweaters were made with many stitches that became associated with particular Irish clans. Aran sweaters have been knitted since the late 1800s and are still in demand today.

While in the past they were made by hand, machines are used for most today. A true handstitched Aran sweater is quite valuable.
