This week, Tidbits has lots of information about the Irish, everything from St. Patrick to Notre Dame. Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day by learning some interesting facts about the Emerald Isle. • The man has a day named after him, but who exactly was St. Patrick? Strangely enough, his name wasn’t Patrick, and he wasn’t born in Ireland, but rather in Scotland! Maewyn Succat was born in the late fourth century to a wealthy family, but at the age of 16, he was kidnapped from the family estate by a group of Irish raiders and sold into slavery. During his six years of captivity, he was a shepherd, and experienced a conversion to Christianity. According to folklore, a voice came to him urging him to escape, which he did, aboard a pirate ship. Yet the voice further counseled him to return to Ireland as a missionary to convert the Irish to Christianity.

• After 15 years of study for the priesthood, during which time Succat took on the name Patricius, he began his 29-year-long mission in Ireland. Ancient legend tells of Patrick standing on a hilltop holding up his wooden staff, banishing all the snakes from Ireland. Because there were no snakes in Ireland, it’s believed this was merely symbolic of Patrick driving out the evil and pagan philosophies.

(continued): • Patrick wasn’t made a saint until the early 17th century, hundreds of years after his death in the year 461. March 17 is the anniversary of his death and is his religious feast day. • Although we think of the color green when St. Patrick is mentioned, blue was the first color to represent the hero. In 1783, The Order of St. Patrick was founded, the senior order of chivalry and fellowship of knights. The Order of the Thistle already used green for their uniforms and the Order of the Garter used dark blue, so the Order of St. Patrick used a shade of sky blue. Military uniforms were of “St. Patrick’s Blue” and during the time of King Henry VIII, and the flag of Ireland was a gold harp on a blue background. The harp remains as the country’s national emblem today. • Between 1846 and 1900, about 2,873,000 people emigrated from Ireland to America, making it the second largest nationality group of immigrants, second only to Germany. The most predominant occupation of those newcomers was that of skilled weaver. • In 2010, about 34.7 million U.S. residents claimed ancestors from Ireland. What were the most common Irish surnames of these folks? The last names of Murphy, Kelly, and O’Sullivan are considered the top three “most Irish.” Other common Irish surnames include Walsh, O’Brien, Byrne, Ryan, O’Connor, O’Neill, and O’Reilly. • Ireland has had its influence on geographical locations in the U.S. Seven communities are named Shamrock, including locations in Texas, Oklahoma, and West Virginia. Sixteen other towns are named Dublin, sharing the name with Ireland’s capital. North Carolina is home to the community of Emerald Isle, population 3,655.

(continued): • St. Patrick’s Day often brings beer and taverns to mind, but that tradition didn’t start in Ireland. The Irish Parliament declared the day a religious holiday in 1903, meaning that all the pubs were closed. In 1970, that bill was overturned and the day became a national holiday rather than a religious observance. • The tradition of a St. Patrick’s Day parade began in America, not Ireland. New York City was home to the first parade, held on March 17, 1762. Irish soldiers serving in the British army organized the celebration to honor the Catholic feast day of Ireland’s patron saint. Today, New York’s parade is the largest in the world with more than 200,000 marchers along the Fifth Avenue route. Close to three million spectators observe the parade, which does not allow automobiles or floats. • Canada’s longest-running parade is in the city of Montreal, where it first took place in 1824.. • The three-color Irish flag – orange, green, and white – was created in 1848, and is symbolic of the country’s politics. The orange stands for the Irish Protestants, green for the Catholics, and white represents the hope that peace be reached between the two. • Have you ever heard of the trifolium dubium? That’s the name given to the shamrock by botanists. The early Celts referred to the shamrock as the seamroy, and considered this three-leafed clover a sacred plant with mystical properties. Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to first-century Irish pagans. During the 17th century when the English began seizing Irish land and prohibiting the use of their native language and Catholic religion, many Irish started wearing the shamrock as a symbol of pride in their heritage.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle The Best Thing for You Pt 1

Have you ever gripped a chain link fence so hard that the circulation to your fingers stopped causing them to turn purple? The only cure is to let go. Studies have shown many benefits if we can learn to do one thing; let go and FORGIVE. Forgiveness can’t change the past but it can change the future. Here are some results of this healthy decision. • Forgiveness is good for your heart- is associated with lower heart rate and blood pressure as well as stress relief. This can bring long-term health benefits for your heart and overall health. •

Forgiveness is associated with five measures of health: physical symptoms, medications used, sleep quality, fatigue, & somatic complaints. The reduction of depressive symptoms strengthened spirituality, conflict management, and stress relief.

•

Forgiveness releases the offending party which allows positive behaviors toward others outside of the relationship.

Forgiveness is good for your body, your relationships, & your place in the world. Next week we will look at some tools on how to forgive.

(continued): • The Irish word lobaircin means “smallbodied fellow,” and has been modified a bit to the English word “leprechaun.” These little imps date back to the early Celtic beliefs in fairies, those tiny men and women with magical powers, who used those powers for either good or evil. Leprechauns were seen as grumpy little men, whose duties were to mend the shoes of the other fairies. We’ve all heard of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Folklore claims that the little men have great treasures stored in crocks, and use trickery to protect it from others. If a leprechaun is captured by a human, he has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for his release. In 1959, Walt Disney Studios released the film Darby O’Gill and the Little People, which gave us the image of cheerful and friendly leprechauns, but in Irish folklore, they are cantankerous and mischievous. • Indiana’s University of Notre Dame is home to the Fighting Irish, a team that played its inaugural game in November of 1887. In 1918, Knute Rockne took over as head coach and his record of the highest winning percentage in football history, either college or professional, still stands. Notre Dame has produced the second largest number of players drafted into the NFL, the greatest number of Heisman Trophy winners, and ten former Irish have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Every home game has been sold out since 1966, with the exception of one Thanksgiving Day contest against the Air Force in 1973, when the students had gone home for the holiday.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On March 17, 1762, in New York City, the first parade honoring the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is held by Irish soldiers serving in the British army. Early Irish settlers to the American colonies, many of whom were indentured servants, brought the Irish tradition of celebrating St. Patrick’s feast day to America.

Senior News Line

● On March 14, 1950, the Federal Bureau of Investigation institutes the “Ten Most Wanted” list in an effort to publicize particularly dangerous fugitives. The creation of the program arose out of a news story in 1949 about the “toughest guys” the FBI wanted to capture. ● On March 15, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress to urge the passage of legislation guaranteeing voting rights for all. On Aug. 6, 1965, Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act.

● On March 12, 1933, eight days after his inauguration, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gives his first national radio address, or “fireside chat,” broadcast from the White House. Roosevelt made sure each address was understandable to ordinary Americans.

● On March 15, 1972, “The Godfather” -- a three-hour epic chronicling the lives of the Corleones, an Italian-American crime family led by the powerful Vito Corleone -- is released in theaters. “The Godfather” was adapted from the best-selling book of the same name by Mario Puzo.

● On March 13, 1944, Britain announces that all travel between Ireland and the United Kingdom is suspended, the result of the Irish government’s refusal to expel Axis-power diplomats within its borders. Ireland stood its ground.

● On March 16, 1985, in Beirut, Lebanon, Islamic militants kidnap American journalist Terry Anderson. On Dec. 4, 1991, Anderson’s captors finally released him after 2,455 days. Anderson spent his entire captivity blindfolded. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sometimes brochures and cards that come in the mail look like something real and legitimate. I received a card that at first glance appeared to have come from Social Security. It invited me to send back the card (postage paid) to receive a free brochure entitled “New Social Security Changes and Benefits.” It was only when I looked at the very bottom at the fine print (and yes, I had to use a magnifying glass because it was so tiny) that I learned the sender was not affiliated with the government: It was a sales pitch! When I traced down the person named on the card, it turned out he’s selling investments. I found the same card on a marketing site on the Internet. Marketing companies sell the cards as a direct-mail piece, part of a lead-generation program for salespeople. Somehow they got my name and address, and hoped I’d fill out even more information on the card (date of birth, home phone number and email address) and mail it back to them. With that information, they could start calling me to push whatever they’re selling. I found a similar website, one that deals with promotional mailers, with this banner streaming across the top: “Social Security Leads are HOT ... mailers pulling 5 percent-plus.” That means that one in every 20 people who receive the mailing piece will respond. The lesson in all this is to hesitate before you fill out something you get in the mail, even if it appears to be legitimate. Get out your magnifying glass and look carefully. You might find a line or two of the truth at the bottom. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

December 22– January 19

A mission in organization is not a lost cause. Call on a friend for help, Capricorn, and bring back order to your home. Inquisitiveness gets a young one in trouble.

January 20– February 18

Chuck it, Aquarius. Some ideas are not meant to come to fruition, and this is one of them. There is another, however, that will work. Look for it.

February 19– March 20

Rumors begin to fly. There is some truth to them, Pisces, but don’t jump the gun. Wait for the dust to settle before you act. An heirloom is recovered.

March 21– April 19

Travel plans begin to take shape, and many deals are uncovered. Put the savings to good use, Aries. A favor from long ago is finally returned..

April 20– May 20

Love is in the air, and the time is right for a mini vacation. Think outside of the box, Taurus. A major purchase is in your future. Consider the pros and cons.

May 21– June 21 Opportunities abound. Be careful what you choose, Gemini. They may not all be on the up-and-up. A real estate venture gets the green light.

June 22– July 22

Gifts of the heart make things right with a friend. Communication woes continue at work. Do what you can to get things back on track, Cancer.

July 23– August 22 Brevity is not your strong suit, Leo. However, if you want to make any headway on a project, you’re going to have to say less and do more.

August 23– September 22 Face it, Virgo. You do not have all of the answers. Turn to a mentor for advice. Big changes are in store at home. Don’t buck the tide.

September 23– October 22

Slow down, Libra. Not everything is as black and white as it may seem. There is much left to discuss. A crazy notion at home provides relief.

October 23– November 21

Brace yourself, Scorpio. Major upheaval is coming. An offer could use another look. Get the opinions of another before you make a decision.

November 22– December 21

A door long closed opens. Don’t let the opportunity slip through your fingers again, Sagittarius. It was tailor made for you. A secret is revealed.

• The first feature film created specifically for Shirley was 1934’s Bright Eyes, which featured her famous number “On the Good Ship Lollipop.” Over 500,000 copies of the sheet music were sold following the movie’s release. At the age of six, she received a miniature Juvenile Oscar for her 1934 accomplishments, and her feet and hand prints were added to the concrete forecourt of Grauman’s Chinese Theater. • By the time she was six, Shirley had already starred in 20 movies. The Shirley Temple doll was introduced, wearing a polka-dot dress modeled after the one she wore in 1934’s Stand Up and Cheer! By 1941, sales on the doll had topped $45 million. The sizable list of her other products included a line of clothing, soap, dishes, and books. Shirley also endorsed Quaker Puffed Wheat, General Electric, and Packard, among others. At age seven, her merchandise royalties were double the income from her movies. • Shirley was the top box-office draw for a fouryear period, 1935 through 1938, saved 20th Century-Fox from bankruptcy, and had her own personal bodyguard. • Following the huge success of Heidi, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, and The Little Princess, Shirley performed in her last film as a child actress in 1940 at age 12. The film was The Blue Bird and was her 44th movie. Her popularity declined as she entered adolescence, and she made just a few films as a teen and young adult. When she was 15, Shirley met an Army Air Corps sergeant named John Agar, and at age 17, she married him. Their daughter was born when Shirley was 19, but the marriage was over after four years. •December, 1950 was the time of two momentous occasions in Shirley’s life – she announced her retirement from the film industry at age 22, and she married wealthy California businessman Charles Black. This union would endure 54 years until his death. She entered the political arena in 1969, when Richard Nixon appointed her as the U.S. Representative to the United Nations. Under Gerald Ford, Shirley served as Ambassador to Ghana and White House Chief of Protocol. Her assignment under Ronald Reagan was that of a foreign affairs officer with the State Department. During the George H.W. Bush administration, she was the Ambassador to Czechoslovakia. She became a bestselling author in 1988 with the release of her autobiography Child Star. • Shirley Jane Temple is 84 years old.

The most popular child star of all time, Shirley Temple, brought a ray of sunshine to the troubled folks of the Great Depression era. How much do you know about this bright and talented individual who was a success not only on the screen but in public service as well? Follow along as see! • Born in 1928, Shirley was the daughter of a bank employee father and a homemaker mother, who enrolled her in dance school at age three. When a talent search was conducted at the school, Shirley was signed by Educational Pictures and appeared in a number of movie shorts, as well as modeling for cereal ads. The 1932 movie Red-Haired Alibi brought Shirley her first feature film role.

● If you have a plastic-bristle broom that’s starting to get really ragged, don’t get rid of it: turn it into a scrub broom. Trim the bristles down to about an inch. You can even cut them at an angle. Then you can use this broom to scrub stubborn spots. The bristles are nice and tight when they’re so short. ● Check your windshield wiper blades. Are they smeary? Before you replace them, use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to clean the blades. They might have life left in them yet! 725 North Center Point Rd., Hiawatha, IA 319-365-6901 www.d i a m o n d v o g e l .com

● “We had a piece of linoleum left over when we replaced the kitchen flooring. It was almost a perfect size to put over our picnic table. We use it for crafts and whenever we don’t want anything to fall through the boards. It stores neatly against the wall behind our outdoor shelves when we aren’t using it!” -- R. in Minnesota

D A MORE THAN 50 YEARS IN CEDAR RAPIDS

● If you have a light bulb that has broken off in the socket and you need to get it out to replace it, use needle-nose pliers to grab the metal ring and unscrew it. If that doesn’t work, you might be able to use a bar of soap to grab any glass shards sticking out, and unscrew it that way.

● When I put on my stockings, I put on my dish gloves first. It sounds silly, but I do not have any snags in my stockings, and the grip of the gloves makes them easy to pull up and adjust for a perfect fit. -- W.M. in New York

Take a look at a number of items containing the word “short.” • Randy Newman’s 1977 Billboard top hit “Short People” described his subject, “They got little baby legs that stand so low, you got to pick ‘em up just to say hello.” Who is classified as a short person? The term “short stature” refers to any person substantially under the average height for a person of the same age and gender. Pediatricians use a measurement called standard deviation that compares the height of different children. A child’s height must be more than two SD’s below average height in order to have short stature, and 95% percent of comparable children are taller. • Do you know the difference between IRS forms 1040A and 1040EZ? Form 1040A is the “short form” while 1040EZ is the “easy” form, the simplest way to file taxes. Both are limited to taxpayers with less than $100,000 in taxable income who take the standard deduction. However, the easy form is only for those with no dependents. • A short sale on the stock exchange means that the seller does not actually own the shares he/ she is selling and has to borrow them before being able to deliver. When the share price falls, the short seller buys them and returns them to the lender, resulting in a gain on the deal. • If someone calls you short, he/she might be referring to your height, but could be telling you that your demeanor is abrupt, discourteous, or unfriendly. A short presentation doesn’t always refer to its duration. It might mean it was succinct and concise. • Look at all the idioms in the English language that contain the word “short.” You can make short work of something by finishing it quickly. You might run short (not have enough), fall short (fail to measure up to a certain standard), or cut short (interrupt someone). If you’ve submitted your resume for a job, you might be on the short list, one that contains those narrowed down from the full pool of applicants. Hopefully, on that resume, you didn’t sell yourself short, that is, didn’t give yourself full credit where it was deserved. You certainly wouldn’t want to get the short end of the stick, which might mean unfair treatment or not getting what you are worthy of. • If you want to retain information in your shortterm memory, it will be necessary for you to repeat it out loud or mentally rehash it from time to time. By doing so, the data re-enters the memory’s storage, enabling it to be preserved for a longer period. • What in the world is hydrogenated vegetable oil? Just a fancy name for shortening! Hydrogenation involves adding extra hydrogen atoms to vegetable fats, which turns them into solids. Shortening is 100% fat, compared to the 80% fat content of butter and margarine. Procter & Gamble introduced Crisco, an abbreviation of “crystallized cottonseed oil” in June of 1911. • It’s as easy as 1-2-3! Making shortbread, that is. The traditional recipe calls for one part sugar, two parts butter, and three parts flour. This little treat originated in Scotland during medieval times, when the word “short” was used to describe all things crisp and crumbly. Shortcake is not the same as shortbread. It uses vegetable fat rather than butter and adds some leavening agent such as baking powder, resulting in a different texture.
