by Kathy Wolfe And they’re off! Every year, the first Saturday in May marks “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” the annual Kentucky Derby. Tidbits offers some fascinating facts about the “Run for the Roses,” a contest for three-year-old thoroughbred horses held every year since 1875. • Construction on the racetrack now known as Churchill Downs was begun in Louisville, Kentucky in 1874. It was the brainstorm of Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., the grandson of William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Clark leased 80 acres of land from his uncles John and Henry Churchill, and raised $32,000 for constructions costs by selling membership subscriptions to the track for $100 each.

• The first Kentucky Derby was held in May of 1875 before a crowd of 10,000 spectators. Fifteen three-year-old thoroughbreds pounded around the track and the contest was won by a chestnut named Aristides. The original race was 1.5 miles, compared to today’s 1.25 miles. Aristides accomplished the distance in just under 2:38. In 1896 it was determined that 1.5 miles was too long a distance for threeyear-old horses so early in the spring, and the race length was shortened. turn the page for more!

• When race fans showed up for the 1895 event, they were met by a brand-new grandstand featuring the Twin Spires. A 24-year-old draftsman designed the Spires, which have become a familiar landmark to the Derby crowd. • At a party hosted by a socialite following the 1883 Derby, all the ladies were presented with roses. Track founder Meriwether Lewis Clark was in attendance and it’s believed he conceived the idea of declaring the rose the race’s official flower from that experience. But it wasn’t until 1896 that a bouquet of pink and white roses was first presented to the winner, and it was 1932 before the garland of roses we see today was introduced. The term “Run for the Roses” was coined by a sports columnist in 1925. The blanket of roses bestowed upon the owner of the winning horse is composed of more than 500 red roses sewn onto a green satin backing. In addition, the jockey receives 60 long-stemmed roses wrapped in 10 yards of ribbon. Owners frequently have the garland of roses freeze-dried to preserve it, and some even have a flower dipped in silver in commemoration of the win. • The two-minute mark has only been broken three times in Derby history, the first time in 1973 by the famed Secretariat. Nicknamed “Big Red,” the chestnut finished the course in 1:59.40, a record that still holds today as the fastest time ever. The second horse to finish in under two minutes was just a length and a half behind Secretariat. Sham, who was Secretariat’s dark brown half-cousin, had hit his face on the starting gate and knocked out a tooth. Although he bled severely throughout the race, Sham came in about one-fifth of a second behind the winner. The Derby was without an under-two-minute winner until 2001 when Monarchos finished in 1:59.97.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle What Am I Looking For We feed on things that our eyes are focused on. Those things can be good for us or bad for us. “Both the hummingbird and the vulture fly over our nation’s deserts. All vultures see is rotting meat, because that is what they look for. They thrive on that diet. But hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful blossoms of desert plants. The vultures live on what was. They live on the past. They fill themselves with what is dead and gone. But hummingbirds live on what is. They seek new life. They fill themselves with freshness and life. Each bird finds what it is looking for.” Steve Goodier . What I focus on will either bring life, hope, and strength or it will bring death, despair, and destruction.

Weekly MAGIC MAZE

• During the early 1900’s, owners of Derbywinning horses began sending their thoroughbreds to Maryland’s Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes in New York. Although it wasn’t officially called the “Triple Crown” until 1930, the first winner of all three races was in 1919, a chestnut named Sir Barton. There have only been 11 Triple Crown winners, including Secretariat, who took the prize after a 25year drought, setting records in all three races. There were back-to-back Triple Crown winners in 1977 (Seattle Slew) and Affirmed in 1978. There hasn’t been one since. • On those occasions when two or more horses are in a dead heat and it’s impossible to see which crossed the line first, a “photo finish” is needed to determine the winner. The first time this was used at the Kentucky Derby was in 1947, when a photo at the finish line concluded that Jet Pilot was the winning horse. • For almost 100 years, the mint julep has been the traditional beverage of the Derby. Each year, 120,000 juleps are served on Derby Weekend at Churchill Downs, requiring more than 10,000 bottles of Early Times Kentucky Whiskey, 1,000 lbs. of fresh mint, and 60,000 lbs. of ice. Spectators can expect a price of $11 per glass. Along with the juleps, a thick stew called Burgoo is traditionally served, a concoction of a mixture of meats, including pork, beef, chicken, and mutton, along with vegetables and barbecue sauce.

• Until 2005, only the first four finishers received a share of the Derby’s purse money. The rules were then changed to award a portion to the fifth-place winner as well. • The Derby has had a number of notable firsts. It was broadcast live on the radio for the first time in 1925, with the first national television coverage occurring in 1952. The size of the purse topped the $100,000 mark for the first time in 1954. (This year, the purse will be $2,180,000, with $1,240,000 of that amount awarded to the winner.) In 1968, Dancer’s Image became the first winner to be disqualified after traces of drugs were found in its system. The Derby’s first woman jockey was Diane Crump who rode Phantom in 1970. Diane came in 15th out of 17. Jockeys were allowed to wear advertising logos on their silks for the first time in 2004. • More than 165,000 people attended the 2012 Kentucky Derby, setting an attendance record. Tickets can be had for as little as $80 for general admission or as much as $5,000.

● On May 6, 1954, in Oxford, England, 25-year-old medical student Roger Bannister cracks the four-minute mile. Bannister won the mile race with a time of 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. ● On May 7, 1960, Leonid Brezhnev, one of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s most trusted proteges, is selected as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet -- the Soviet equivalent to the presidency. Brezhnev took control of the USSR in 1964 when Khrushchev was removed from power.

More of Us Getting Knee Replacement

Eschew obfuscation

● On May 11, 1947, the B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, announces it has developed a tubeless tire. The disadvantage of the old inner tube design was that if the inner tube failed, the tire would blow out immediately, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

For a growing number of us, it will become necessary at some point to have a knee replacement. A recently completed 20-year study, funded in part by the National Institute on Aging, shows the number of knee surgeries has steadily risen. More of us, it seems, are now walking pain-free. But the news isn’t all good, however. The study included 3.3 million participants who had a primary knee replacement and 300,000 who had a revision process, which is replacement of a previous implanted joint. Along the way, hospital stays have gotten shorter for recovery from the knee surgeries. This has caused higher complication rates as well as higher readmission rates, as we go back in the hospital when things go wrong. Between 1991 and 2010, the number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures rose a whopping 162 percent. The reason? There are more people likely to be considered as candidates for the surgery, more seniors in the population and more conditions that lead to osteoarthritis -- such as obesity. Again the flipside: Hospital stays were cut from eight to four days for primary surgery, and from nine to five days for revision surgeries. This was no doubt due to insurers who want patients out of the hospital as quickly as possible to cut costs. Hospital readmissions jumped from 4 percent to 5 percent for primary procedures, and from 6 percent to 9 percent for revisions. Revisions caused more than double the readmission rates for wound infection, and a 100 percent increase for hemorrhage and heart attack. There’s one thing to be said for following a good diet: If we keep our weight down and stay out of the obese category, we might be able to avoid needing knee surgery.

ROSA PARKS

December 22– January 19 Love leads the way this week, Capricorn. Cherished moments with friends and family keep things light. A project at work gets axed for good reason.

January 20– February 18

Experimentation in the kitchen churns out some delectable delights. Write down the recipes for a future gathering. An auto purchase serves you well, Aquarius.

February 19– March 20

Friends are in need. Don’t turn your back on them, Pisces. You are in a position to help, and the need is genuine. A lapse in concentration at work proves beneficial.

March 21– April 19

Patience truly is a virtue, Aries. When young ones take a different approach, do not cast them aside. Wait and watch, and be ready to lend a guiding hand when asked.

April 20– May 20

Psst, Taurus. Something big is on the horizon, and it would serve you well to find out what it is. The more prepared you are, the better your reaction will be.

May 21– June 21 What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Don’t alter your vacation plans to accommodate the wishes of others. Get away as planned, Gemini.

June 22– July 22

One plus one does not always add up to two. Don’t be afraid to switch partners for the sake of performance, Cancer. You need someone who will do their part.

July 23– August 22 Life is like a roller coaster this week. Don’t miss out on the ride, Leo. Enjoy the good, learn from the bad and the contentment you seek will be yours.

August 23– September 22 Fun surrounds you. Why aren’t you taking part in it, Virgo? It’s fine to take a break. In fact, it’s essential. Give in. You’ll return with more ideas than you can count.

September 23– October 22

Listless Libra. Boredom sets in on all fronts, and you don’t know how to shake it. Lucky for you, an old friend does. A health crisis passes.

October 23– November 21

Blast off, Scorpio. The green light is given, and there is no way to go but up. Months of planning will pay off in a VERY big way. A relative makes a request.

November 22– December 21

A dear friend gets a new lease on life. Be happy for them, Sagittarius. It’s been a long time coming. A financial review reveals you’re right where you need to be.

Often referred to as “The Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement,” Rosa Parks was one of the most influential leaders in African-American history. Let’s learn more about this courageous woman who championed the cause for desegregation. • Born in Alabama to a carpenter father and a teacher mother, Rosa was a sickly child who was raised on her grandparents’ farm following the separation of her parents. Home-schooled until the age of 11, Rosa then attended the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery. At age 21, she married a barber named Raymond Parks, and finished her uncompleted high school diploma. • Segregation in the South called for separate restrooms, drinking fountains, and seating areas on public transportation. The first four rows of city buses were “Whites Only,” with blacks forced to sit at the very back. If the bus was full when a white person boarded the bus, blacks were made to move, stand, or get off the bus. Blacks were also not allowed to sit across the aisle from a white person, and had to enter the bus from the back so as not to walk past a white at the front. • When Rosa landed a job at a local department store, she rode the city bus to and from work each day. On a December day in 1955, as she was headed for home, she boarded the bus and took a seat in the 11th row, the first row of the section reserved for blacks. The bus filled up and three whites were standing. The driver demanded that four black people give up their seats. Three black men moved, but Rosa slid over to the window seat, refusing to surrender her place. • The police were called in and Rosa was arrested for violating city code and disorderly conduct. The ironic part was that she had not technically broken any law. The law in place for over 50 years stated that no passenger could be forced to give up a seat or stand on a crowded bus. Her 30-minute trial declared her guilty, penalizing her with $14 in fines and court costs. • Within four days, a boycott of Montgomery’s city buses was in place, organized in part by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who declared, “…it is more honorable to walk in dignity than ride in humiliation.” More than 90% of the city’s black residents refused to ride the buses. Carpools were set up, with those who owned vehicles volunteering their services. Because 75% of bus customers were black, the finances of the public bus companies plunged. Yet it still took 381 days for agreement to be reached on the end of segregation. • Rosa later moved to Detroit, where she worked for a U.S. Congressman until age 75. In 1992, she published her autobiography. Rosa was the recipient of 20+ honorary doctorates from universities around the world. She was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a civilian. Time magazine designated her as one of the 20 most influential figures of the 20th century.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● Doubtless you’ve heard of India’s Taj Mahal, but did you know that there is a tourist attraction in America that is so grand, it is popularly known as the Taj Mahal of the West? In 1968, a group of Hare Krishnas founded the New Vrindaban Community near Wheeling, W.VA. Though they began on 100 acres with no electricity or running water, the community now covers more than 1,200 acres and features Prabhupada’s Palace of Gold, an ornate edifice of gold, marble and hand-carved teakwood. The award-winning rose garden alone is said to be worth a trip. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Cedar Rapids, IA – A recent Tidbits drawing winner asked how the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association worked. “So each show is $35? Or do I pay $35 to join, and then get tickets at a discount?” It’s a fair question. In today’s economy when a movie matinee is at least $7.50 and popular live acts can cost anywhere from $17 to over $100, it’s hard to fathom that top name, live entertainment doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. But that’s exactly what the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association provides. For 83 years, the CRCCA offers quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Members get five live, full length concerts for just $35. That’s right – all five concerts for only $35. During the Great Depression, many communities realized that food for the soul is as important as food on the table. By 1940, 335 community concert associations were actively answering that need by raising the funds to secure a season of concerts in advance, rather than hiring the act and then, hopefully, selling enough tickets to pay for it. Each season the CRCCA brings the best entertainment to Cedar Rapids. The CRCCA will announce its 2013-2014 season soon, and at these prices, who wouldn’t want to join? Members can also attend the five Metro Community Concert Association concerts in Cedar Falls. That’s 10 live concerts for only $35. Do the math - $3.50 a show for artists like the Home Free Vocal Band, John Davidson, the Four Freshmen, Dallas Brass, and Riders in the Sky. Cedar Rapids’ best family entertainment value for 83 years, the CRCCA offers quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Get five live concerts for one low price – all five concerts just $35 for general seating, $50 for reserved section, or $70 general section seating for the whole family when purchased before July 20.

JUST JOCKEYS

Kentucky Derby week seems like the time to take a look at a few of the greatest jockeys of all time. Follow along and pick up a little knowledge about these legends. • Two jockeys share the record for the most Derby wins, Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack, each with five. Arcaro was the first to accomplish this feat, with his first win in 1938 at age 22, followed by victories in 1941, 1945, 1948, and 1952. Arcaro is also the record-holder for the most American classic race wins, and the only rider to win the Triple Crown twice. He triumphed in 17 Triple Crown races, including the five Derbys, and six each in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. As a small youth, rejection for a spot on the baseball team pushed him to excel in a different area. He stood just 5’2” when fully grown. At the 1959 Belmont Stakes, Eddie seemed destined for his 7th win, but his horse fell and Eddie was thrown into a large puddle of water and was narrowly saved from drowning. Riding helmets had very recently been introduced to the sport and Arcaro claimed his had saved his life. His lifetime record was 4,779 wins. • Bill Hartack won his first Kentucky Derby in 1957 at age 24. He was favored to win the next year, but just two weeks before the Derby, he broke his leg and another jockey rode the horse Tim Tam, who won the race. Hartack was the nation’s leading jockey four different times, and was the first to attain $3 million purse winnings in a year. • Standing just 4’11” tall and weighed 96 lbs., Willie Shoemaker was just 17 when he rode a horse in a race for the first time. Although he finished fifth in that first race, by his third race, he was in the winner’s circle. By week two, he had won seven races. He won his first Kentucky Derby in 1955 at age 23, and his second four years later. It would be six years before his next Churchill Downs victory, but Willie wasn’t finished yet. Twenty-one years later in 1986, Shoemaker won his fourth and final Derby at age 54, making him the oldest Derby winner in history. Although he had won 11 Triple Crown races over the course of four different decades – four Derbys, five Belmont Stakes, and three Preakness Stakes – he never achieved the Crown itself. He set a world record with 8,833 winning races, and accomplished the amazing feat of winning six races in one day, six different times in his career. Shoemaker retired in 1990 and tragedy struck just one year later when his vehicle plunged off a 50-foot embankment, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He still managed to succeed as a horse trainer until 1997. • Steve Cauthen is the last jockey to win the Triple Crown, a feat achieved in 1978 astride the horse Affirmed. He was also the youngest jockey to take the title – Cauthen had been 18 less than a week when he won the Derby. At 19, he became the first jockey to win $6 million in a single season. Yet he rode in the Kentucky Derby only once! Because he had trouble meeting U.S. weight requirements, he moved to England where weight restrictions were higher, and he went on to become the British Champion Jockey three times.
