DEATH VALLEY

by Janet Spencer Death Valley is the driest spot in the U.S. It’s also the lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere. And it is one of the hottest spots on Earth. Join Tidbits as we tour one of America’s most unusual national parks. • It’s BIG! Death Valley National Park is the largest national park outside Alaska. The valley is about 130-140 miles long, and the valley floor averages 5 miles wide. The national park contains nearly 3.4 million acres. The state of Rhode Island could fit inside Death Valley National Park more then three times over. It’s twice the size of Delaware, and nearly the same size as Connecticut. • It’s LOW! A parking lot at a place called Badwater is 279 feet below sea level. Several miles away in a desolate salt pan, there are a few dips that are 282 feet below sea level. Death Valley is the lowest spot in the Western Hemisphere, but the Dead Sea (between Jordan and Israel) is 1,360 feet below sea level.

• Only six places on earth are deeper than Death Valley, and they are all desert valleys. If these valleys received more rain, erosion would eventually fill them with sediments and they would no longer be below sea level. Also, they’d be lakes instead of valleys. turn the page for more!

DEATH VALLEY (continued): • It’s HOT! The heat is partly caused by the low elevation. With every thousand feet you lose in elevation, the temperature rises by about 5 degrees F. Death Valley’s topography—a deep valley sandwiched between two steep mountain ranges—also magnifies the heat. Hot air rising from the valley floor gets trapped between mountain ranges. The hot air recirculates and gets hotter. The dryness also contributes to the heat. Death Valley has no clouds for shade, no rain for cooling, and little vegetation to stop rocks from absorbing heat all day. In turn, the heat reinforces the dryness, evaporating rain before it reaches the ground. • The hottest temperature ever recorded in Death Valley was 134 F on July 13, 1913. By comparison, the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 136 F, recorded in the Sahara Desert in Libya in 1922. • When it comes to average highs, Death Valley beats the Sahara. In 2001, Death Valley hit 100 F or higher on 154 days in a row. It’s hit 100 F or higher in every month except November, December, January, and February. It’s hit 110 F on (coincidentally) 110 days in a row, in 1996. And it hit 120 F on 43 days in a row, in 1917. • July is the hottest month on average, with a daily high of 115 F. August is second, with an average daily high of 113 F. June is third, at 109 F. • In July, when the average daily high is 115 F, the daily average LOW temperature is 88 F. • Things cool off in winter. In November the average daily high is 76 F. In February it’s 72 F, and in January and December it’s 65 F. • Death Valley’s official temperature is recorded at a weather station five feet above the ground. But the ground gets hotter than the air. The hottest ground Hyperlink in ever Master page in Death Valley temperature recoded was 201 F in 1972.

DEATH VALLEY (continued): • The record low temperature in Death Valley is 15 F, set in 1913, which was the same year that set the record high of 134 F. Death Valley’s all-time low is about the same as the all-time lows of Phoenix or Houston. • It’s DRY! Why is Death Valley so hot and dry? Don Lago describes the science behind it in his book, Death Valley Trivia. The main factor is called the “rain shadow” effect. When storms come out of the Pacific Ocean and head inland, they have to cross a series of mountain ranges, which force clouds to rise, condense, and drop their moisture. With every mountain range they cross, the clouds have less moisture left for the next one. The Sierras can get 34 feet of snow per year, but then the clouds have little moisture left for the Owens Valley just west of the Sierras; the Owens Valley gets less than 6 inches of rain per year. Clouds that make it past the Sierras then hit the Panamint Mountains and lose most of their remaining moisture. This leaves little rain for Death Valley, or for the Amargosa Range on the east side of Death Valley. While the Panamints get 15 inches of annual precipitation, the Amargosa Range gets only 3-5 inches. • The average annual rainfall in Death Valley is only 1.94 inches. By comparison, New York City receives an average of 49.64 inches of rain per year. In some years, Death Valley has recorded no rainfall at all, such as 1929 and 1953. • With so little rainfall and so much evaporation, the humidity level in Death Valley sometimes falls to 2 percent. With humidity this low, even when the temperature is a pleasant 70 F, people can become seriously dehydrated.

By now you may have noticed a trend. All of the KMRY “Secret Words” begin with the letter “C”! That’s because we made a list of the words that describe KMRY and also start with the same letter as Classic. Your challenge is to find the “Secret Word” in this week’s ad that begins with the letter “C”...and here’s a hint: it’s not “Classic”. Read this ad thoroughly. There is only one other word that begins with the letter “C”… and that word will be worth $50 to one lucky listener on Thursday November 15, 2012 at 10:50am. Find the Word! Listen! And WIN!

DEATH VALLEY (continued): • Even in the summer heat, people in Death Valley may not get sweaty. The human skin often remains dry. But this doesn’t mean you aren’t perspiring: it means that perspiration is evaporating instantly. For people from humid climates, who are accustomed to skin and clothes drenched with sweat, this can trick them into seriously underestimating how much water they are losing. Finding Water • There is no place in Death Valley more than 15 miles away from a spring. Natives knew all the water sources in Death Valley, but prospectors and tourists have died of thirst even when springs were nearby because they didn’t know where they were. • Death Valley has over 350 seeps and springs. Some are barely large enough to keep the ground damp, but the largest, Travertine Spring, can pour out up to 2,000 gallons per minute. If Death Valley wasn’t so dry, its springs would start building a lake on the valley floor. • The water that pours from these springs comes from the mountains of central Nevada. Snowmelt flows underground for hundreds of miles until water reaches the surface. This water can take thousands of years to arrive in Death Valley. This means that the tap water you are drinking in Death Valley may have fallen as rain when the Egyptian pyramids were being built.

How Will You Spend Your $20.91? For 2013, Social Security recipients will get a whopping 1.7 percent increase in their monthly checks starting in January. Only a few times since 1975 has that rate of increase been so low. For a person who receives the average $1,230 per month, that increase will amount to $20.91 extra. Don’t spend it all in one place. The small increase is due to the Consumer Price Index, which Social Security adjustments are based on. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the index increased just 1.7 percent overall in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012. The USDA does concede that because of the droughts in the Midwest (the worst in 50 years), food prices will rise in 2013 above the “average” inflation of 2.5 percent to 3 percent that’s taken place in 2012. It takes several months for that type of disaster to impact food prices. It says that for 2013, “inflation should be above the historical average for food categories such as cereals and bakery products, as well as other foods.” The “experts” don’t shop at my grocery store. What they apparently haven’t seen is that store prices already are rising ... quickly. And that’s not all. Medical care has gone up 4 percent this year. Gas for the car rose 6 percent. Rents and utilities also have risen. Meanwhile there’s the coming rise in Medicare Part B. That cost comes out of your Social Security check before you even get it. It’s estimated that the additional cost each month will be in the $7 range -- one-third of the Social Security adjustment. When you run all the numbers, I think we’re already spending our average $20.91 increase.

JOSEPH STRAUSS

Nove3mber 13th 2012

December 22– January 19

The sweetest of success is yours, Capricorn, as you accomplish feats large and small. A financial deadline is moved up and you must scramble to make it.

January 20– February 18 You can’t go wrong, Aquarius, so stop stalling and let others know your decision. An old friend drops by with the gift of all gifts. Be thankful.

June 22– July 22 Romance mixed with intrigue is the theme of the week. Prepare for things to sizzle, Cancer. Issues persist at work and you must make a bold move to open up the dialogue.

July 23– August 22 Organizational efforts stall with the refusal to part with the beloved and not-so-beloved. Be understanding, Leo, but don’t let the matter be. Forge on.

August 23– September 22

February 19– March 20 Don’t underestimate the skills of a coworker. They are more than qualified to assist you with the tasks you need done. Divide and conquer, Pisces.

Mediating is rarely fun, and lucky for you, Virgo, your days of being a buffer are over. Don’t dismiss the severity of a loved one’s health issue. They look better than they are.

March 21– April 19 Your struggles come to an end and peace reigns in your world once again. Take everyone out to celebrate, Aries. A labor of love concludes.

September 23– October 22 Nerves set in, and performance reviews show it. Attack less, relax more, and the jitters will subside. A love story unfolds. Ooh-la-la, Libra.

April 20– May 20 Speak your mind, Taurus. You’ve held back long enough. Work you did behind the scene comes to light, and you’re rewarded handsomely for your efforts.

May 21– June 21 Rewards come in many forms this week, Gemini. Count your blessings and pay it forward. Spinning yarns is the highlight of a family gathering, as it should be.

October 23– November 21 Projects conclude and free time increases. Put it to good use, Scorpio, not with work but with fun. You deserve it. A check of your finances reveals a surplus.

November 22– December 21 Easy, Sagittarius. The source of your irritation cannot be helped. Work through it. A career opportunity beckons. Approach it with caution. All is not as it seems.

• Joseph Strauss was born in Cincinnati in 1870. He was short, but he nevertheless tried out for the school football team. As a result, he spent several weeks recovering in the infirmary, where the window in his room offered a view of the Cincinnati-Covington Bridge, which was America’s first long-span suspension bridge. Strauss subsequently developed a fascination with bridges. When he graduated from college with degrees in business and economics, his commencement address presented a proposal to construct a railroad bridge across the Bering Strait, linking Alaska and Russia. • Strauss got a job working for a foundry where he learned the ropes of steel and iron manufacturing, and then went to work for a bridge building company. Later, he went to work for an engineering firm, and then started his own engineering firm in 1904. His specialty was drawbridges, and he constructed around 400 of them. However, he dreamed of something more challenging, so when officials from San Francisco approached him in 1919 about spanning the Golden Gate Strait, he jumped at the chance, even though he had never constructed a single suspension bridge. He didn’t even have a degree in engineering. It took more than a decade for Strauss and city officials to convince the public that a bridge should be built. In the midst of the Great Depression, a city bond raised the funds needed, and work on the Golden Gate Bridge began in 1933. • There were many challenges to overcome: deep water, turbulent currents, corrosive fogs, high winds, and heavy sea traffic. Strauss asked for help from engineering visionaries Charles Ellis and Leon Moissieff, whose contributions were essential in refining the design and overcoming the engineering challenges. He then downplayed their involvement so that he would get more of the limelight. To his credit, his insistence on rigid safety measures prevented many deaths and proved that large projects could be completed safely when worker’s health and well-being was given a priority, which was not typically the case at the time. He wanted people using his bridge while admiring the workers who built it; he was horrified by the thought that wives and children and parents might one day be crossing the bridge while remembering the husbands and fathers and sons who died during its construction. He also instituted the policy of hiring men for the duration of the entire project in a day and age when construction workers were more typically hired on a daily basis. He wanted continuity among workers and did not want to be constantly training newly hired men, because the work was so dangerous. • His health began to fail during the construction, which lasted four years. He was once gone from the site for a sixmonth stretch, leading to rumors he’d had a nervous breakdown. Yet, he managed to see the project through to the end, and proudly walked across the completed bridge on the day it was opened to the public. Strauss died of a heart attack a year later, at the age of 68. He is buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery, with a bas-relief of the bridge etched in brass mounted upon his tombstone.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was Scotsman Bertie Charles Forbes, journalist and founder of Forbes magazine, who made the following sage observation: “There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than in being a tenth-rate executive.” ● The prospectors of 1849 might not have realized it, but you’re more likely to find a 5-carat diamond than a 1-ounce nugget of gold. ● You might be surprised -- and, depending on your temperament, terrified -- to learn that bats can fly at speeds up to 60 mph. Some can even reach altitudes of 10,000 feet. ● Coffee beans are actually seeds. The fruit of the coffee tree is called a cherry and are said to be delicious. They spoil too quickly to be marketed effectively, though, so only the seeds are used. ● When a professional football player retires, there’s a 50-50 chance he’ll get divorced within a year.

Q: Last year, we ordered a cord of firewood, but the weather was so warm that we barely used half of it in our fireplace. Is the remaining half still good to use this winter? -- Frank in Marlborough, Mass. A: Stored correctly, firewood can last for several seasons if need be, so your remaining half-cord should be fine for use this winter. It has continued to season and is probably much drier than it was last year, meaning it will likely catch and burn faster. Large amounts of firewood that will be stored through the winter and into the next cold season generally should be kept several feet from the house at minimum. The wood should be kept off the ground -loaded on a pallet or a storage rack -- and stacked evenly. This creates good airflow between the logs, allows it to dry quickly after a rain storm, and reduces the number of insects that take up residence in the stack, as well as discourages rodents from creating nests in it. How much firewood you should purchase and store each year is entirely up to you. I’ve often passed homes in the Northeastern countryside that have several cords of neatly cut wood stacked underneath the crawlspace of outlying barns, sheds, or sometimes even the houses themselves. In suburban and urban areas, this is probably not acceptable to the neighbors or may violate local ordinances. Plan to have no more than two winters’ worth of firewood stacked near your house. The amount depends on how much you use your fireplace, and whether it is a necessity to warm the home or just a decorative element. HOME TIP: Order firewood from a source as close to your home as possible, to prevent pests -- particularly tree-killing insects -- moving from one area or region to another.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● Medication labels can fade, so when you get yours, put a piece of clear tape over the instructions. This way, you’ll always be able to read the instructions. ● “During the holidays (the height of baking season for me), I keep a large plastic saltshaker filled with flour and a bit of dry rice. The rice helps the flour to shake out without getting clumped up, and I use it to dust cake pans, rolling pins, kneading boards, etc.” -- W.F. in Canada

● “One of the household cleaners I prefer comes in a spray bottle, and it’s on the expensive side. I make sure to get all of the liquid out by adding some regular glass marbles to the bottle. The marbles displace the liquid, ensuring it finds the bottom of the sprayer’s suction tube.” -- T.H. in Mississippi ● “Stack hockey pucks in the holes of a cardboard soda six-pack carrier. Tell your coach. And to keep them bouncy, store them in your freezer (as long as your mom says it’s OK).” -- Eric, via e-mail ● Keep the fog off your glasses by cleaning them with shaving cream. It will prevent mist-ups when you come in from the cold. ● Save your citrus peels and dry them to use for kindling in your fire. They contain flammable oils, and they smell pretty good, too.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Nov. 16, 1901, a low-slung car called the “Torpedo Racer” -- basically a square platform on bicycle wheels -- breaks the world speed record for electric cars in Coney Island, N.Y., by going 1 mile down the straight dirt track in just 63 seconds. That’s about 57 mph. Today the world speed record for an electric vehicle is about 245 mph. ● On Nov. 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets -- and no one sees it. In a debacle which would become known as “Heidi Bowl,” with just 65 seconds left to play, NBC broke away from the game to air its previously scheduled programming, the movie “Heidi.” (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Our core beliefs are surrounded by seeds that produce fruit. Those seeds are our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions. Our core beliefs about the world (is it safe or dangerous), about other people (can we trust them or not), and about ourselves (am I worthy or unworthy) are formed early in our life. Imagine a 2 year old that is hungry, alone, and crying. Also imagine three responses to the child: 1) Parent comforts, cuddles and feeds the child (I am accepted and loved), 2) Parent ignores the child and lets the child cry itself to sleep ( I am alone and abandoned), 3) Parent chastises and abuses the child and sends them to bed (I am unlovable and people are out to hurt me). How about you? The beautiful option we have in life is to change our core and the seeds will follow. You are loved!!!!! www.pastoralcarecentercr.com

B IS FOR BEES

Bees are among the most intelligent of insects, and they demonstrate that in a variety of ways: • When bees find food, they communicate its location by doing a dance that signifies direction and distance to their fellow bees. One bee researcher set up two food sources near a hive. One was close to it; the other was farther away. Then he watched the dancing movements of the bees that fed at the different stations. The bees that fed at the nearby station did wagging dances; those that fed at the more distant place did circling dances. When he moved the food sources, the dances changed accordingly. He found that a bee returning from a spot 100 yards away would make 10 turns in 15 seconds, but those returning from 2 miles away would make only 3 turns in 15 seconds. If the food was in the direction of the sun, the bee danced with its head up. If it was away from the sun, the head was down. If it was at a 45-degree angle to the sun, the bee danced in a corresponding angle to the hive. • Researchers once did an interesting experiment with bees. They brought two groups of bees from their home hive to Carnegie Lake in Princeton, New Jersey. One group of bees was taken to a bunch of pollen-laden flowers in a rowboat that was anchored close to shore; the other group was taken to a bunch of flowers in a rowboat way out in the middle of the lake. After sampling the flowers, the bees flew home to their hive and both groups did a waggling dance indicating a source of pollen had been found. The bees at home evidently refused to believe that there could be flowers in the middle of the lake, because whereas lots of bees returned to harvest pollen from the flowers close to shore, almost none came to the boat in the middle of the lake. • Professor James Gould tested some bees by placing a bowl of sugar water near a beehive. After it had been discovered by the bees, he started moving it. Every few minutes he moved the dish, but each move was four times longer than the previous move. Thus, he moved it one inch, then four inches, then 16 inches and so on. Soon he was moving the dish more than 100 feet in a single jump. The bees caught on and were waiting for him when he arrived. BEE FACTS • Number of flowers a bee must visit to make one pound of honey: 2 million • Number of miles flown by a hive of bees in order to make 1 pound of honey: 55,000 • Amount of honey made by a worker honey bee in a lifetime: 1/12 teaspoon • Average annual per capita consumption of honey: 1.1 lbs. • Average speed of a honey bee: 15 mph • Average number of flowers visited during a single collection trip: 50-100 • Average lifespan of a worker bee: 28-35 days • Average lifespan of a queen bee: 2 years • Percent of the average human diet derived from insect-pollinated plants: 33% • Percent of that pollination performed by honey bees: 80% • Percent of the time bees spend sleeping: 0 • Number of bees in a hive: up to 60,000 • Percent of body weight an average bee can carry in its nectar load: 50% • Number of eggs an average queen bee lays per day: 3,000 • Amount of food she needs to eat daily to do so: 80 times her weight.
