One poll says 73% of Americans favor raising the cigarette tax. It's only fair. Since smokers aren't around as long as the rest of us, they should pay more while they're here.

EPONYMS (continued): • Several botanists have lent their name to plants and flowers. The colorful zinnia takes its name from a German botanist born in 1727, Johann Zinn. The Cape Jessamine, commonly known as the gardenia, honors a Scottish-American botanist, Alexander Garden. Anders Dahl, born in 1751 in Sweden, is the source of the designation for the vibrant perennial dahlia. • A Civil War general’s sense of style gave way to a term we use for facial hair. General Ambrose Burnside sported an unusual facial hair style, with his moustache joined to the hair in front of his ears. Originally called burnsides, they were later renamed sideburns. • Although German chemist Robert Bunsen developed the best-known antidote against arsenic poisoning to date, and was a pioneer in using electrolysis to produce pure metals, he is remembered mostly for his design of a gas burner for use in the laboratory. His invention, which provided a very hot and clean flame, is known as the Bunsen burner. • A young French acrobat was responsible for designing a skin-tight garment that made it easier to perform his stunts as well as show off his muscular physique. Jules Leotard called the item a maillot, but shortly after his death, people began to call it a leotard. Leotard was the first to perform a mid-air somersault and to jump from one trapeze bar to another. He was also the subject of the 1867 song, “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze.” His death at the young age of 28 had nothing to do with his risky career, but rather was likely due to smallpox or cholera. • An artillery shell filled with small bullets designed to scatter a shower of shot and fragments was the brainstorm of Henry Shrapnel, an English officer. He invented the shrapnel shell for cannons in 1784. Bernard Madoff I read it as “Mad-off” with people mad at him or pronounced: MAY-doff. Because he “MadeOff” with everyone’s money

EPONYMS (continued): • The French ambassador to Portugal in 1559 was a 29-year-old man named Jean Nicot. Sent to Portugal on a diplomatic trip, he returned with tobacco plants, and introduced them to the French court. As more and more of the upper crust of Paris used the plant, Nicot gained recognition, and the plant began to be referred to as Nicotina. As the years went by, the word nicotine became the term for just the active ingredient. • When a group of people take the law into their own hands, it’s often referred to as a lynch mob. This term takes its name from Charles Lynch, an 18thcentury American revolutionary who ran his own private court, punishing those loyal to England at the time of the American Revolution. • Outstanding achievements in the theater are rewarded with Tony Awards, named in honor of Antoinette “Tony” Perry. At a young age, Tony determined she wanted to be an actress and made her acting debut in 1905. She thrived in her stage career until 1927, when she suffered a stroke and its resulting facial paralysis. She left the stage for the position of director, as well as working toward establishing a training school for those desiring to enter the profession. Upon her death, because of her many contributions to theater, an annual awards ceremony was launched in her honor. The first Tony Awards were bestowed in 1947. • A Presbyterian minister who was an advocate of healthy living touted the use of coarse wheat flour because of its high fiber content. Sylvester Graham, an ardent vegetarian, is credited with the invention of graham crackers, named for the flour he regularly promoted as more nutritious and healthy.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver

● It took between 75,000 and 80,000 workers to build the Panama Canal, linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans across the Isthmus of Panama. ● Pop star Prince may be best known for his hit “1999.” After playing the song at a New Year’s Eve party in 1999, he vowed he would never perform it again. Seven years later, however, unable to escape its perennial popularity, he started including the song in his performances once again. ● Pope Benedict IX held the office three different times. ● When the Barbie doll was first introduced in 1959, it was described in The New York Times as a “crushing bomb.” So much for early reviews. Since then, more than a billion Barbies have been sold in more than 150 countries. Mattel, the doll’s maker, claims that three Barbies are sold every second. ● It was Britain’s Prince Albert who originated the boutonniere. It seems that while they were courting, Queen Victoria offered a small bouquet of flowers to her future husband. Prince Albert used his pocketknife to cut a hole in the lapel of his jacket and put the stems of the bouquet through it. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hoarding Rampant Among Elderly

I am sorry I offended you - I should have lied.

Page 9

For Advertising E-mail: sales@tidbitpapers.com or Call (319) 360-3936

The actual number of elderly hoarders is unknown, but it’s thought that the numbers are astronomical. In most cases, no one has any idea what’s going on inside the house or apartment -- unless rescue personnel or social services are called and ceiling-high mounds of debris are discovered. Why do seniors hoard? There are no simple answers, but: ● To take the place of people who have been lost in their lives. ● Difficulty in making decisions and being organized. ● Fear that something will become valuable over time. ● Fear that something will be needed later. ● Fear of loss of control What hoarders keep is often incomprehensible to a non-hoarder: Plastic (food containers, grocery bags, laundry bottles, newspaper sleeves), books, empty jars, office supplies, broken jewelry, electronics and televisions that don’t work, catalogs, containers of coins, old things (shoes, clothing, purses, keys). Clutter and hoarding are not the same. The biggest difference is in the willingness to get rid of things when offered help. A person who is a genuine hoarder will strongly resist assistance, will deny there’s a problem and often needs counseling to come to terms with the hoarding. Just cleaning out the debris of a hoarder doesn’t solve the problem. A hoarder will simply begin building up the clutter again in a very short time. It takes professional intervention to address the obsessive-compulsive mentalhealth issues involved. Safety is a big issue with hoarding. Narrow pathways through rooms could keep emergency medical personnel from responding when help is required. Fire is a big risk, as are falls and mice or cockroaches. Avalanches of falling debris are not unheard of. If you believe you have a problem, ask for help now. The first step is the hardest, but it’s easier than taking the chance of being removed from your home because it’s unsafe.

YOU NEED A HOBBY! Everybody needs a hobby, a pastime they enjoy, something to collect. Tidbits looks at both the common and unusual choices that people make. • Those who collect comic books are called pannapictagraphists. Until recently, actor Nicolas Cage was an avid collector, but he auctioned off his collection for over $1.6 million. His collection included the first copy of Superman’s appearance, which sold for $86,250, and the Detective Comic which introduced Batman’s sidekick Robin, which brought in $132,250. Other celebrity collectors include Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Affleck. Affleck, fond of Daredevil comics since childhood, landed the title role in the 2003 film Daredevil. • Philatelists enjoy studying and collecting stamps. An avid philatelist might know that the first postage stamp was called a Penny Black, and was issued in Great Britain in 1840, featuring the image of Queen Victoria. Beatle John Lennon began collecting stamps as a young boy. Visitors to the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institute can view his 145-page album containing more than 550 stamps, with his signature on the flyleaf. • Brandophilists, those who collect cigar bands, are pretty much a dying breed. Although the hobby was very popular in the early 1900s, it began to die out by the 1930s. The quality of cigar bands declined after the 1920s, since they were produced by a less expensive printing process. Except for a very few exceptions, a cigar band collection isn’t worth very much. • Brent Dixon of Valdosta, Georgia is an avid copoclephilist. He started collecting key chains in 2001 and has now amassed close to 41,500. • From wooden to bisque, from Barbie to Madame Alexander, a plangonologist knows the score. This term refers to one who collects dolls. • Nick Vermeulen has a rather unusual hobby, that of collecting airline sickness bags. This Dutch gentleman has been accumulating barf bags since 1970, and his stockpile now approaches the 5,500 mark, with bags from more than 1,060 different airlines. • Depression glass made its debut in the mid1920s. The glassware in pretty pastel shades such as green, pink, and yellow found its way into American homes in boxes of oatmeal, through giveaways at movie theaters and gas stations, and from the five-and-dime stores. Collectors will recognize the pattern names of Miss America, Queen Mary, and Cameo Ballerina. • If you own a collection net, aspirator, relaxing jar, or pinning block, you just might be an entomologist, one who collects insects. A representative collection might include hymenoptera (wasps, ants, bees), homoptera (aphids, leafhoppers, cicadas), coleopteran (beetles), and ephemeroptera (mayflies). If one’s collection is specific to butterflies, that person is a lepidopterist. The Lyman Entomological Museum in Quebec, Canada is home to 2.8 million specimens of insects and arthropods. • A visit to the seashore might spur someone to become a conchologist, one who collects shells. A phillumenist is interested in amassing matchbook covers, oologists collect birds’ eggs, and sucrologists pick up sugar packets wherever they may go. • Autograph hounds are known as philo-graphists. Collecting autographss can be a risky business since the FBI has determined that about 70% of autograph memorabilia on the market are forgeries. The real thing, however, can be quite lucrative. A letter handwritten by Beethoven recently fetched $50,000, and a letter written by Jackie Onassis brought in $10,500.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ♥ On March 28, 1814, the funeral of Guillotin, the inventor and namesake of the infamous execution device, takes place outside of Paris. Guillotin had built the guillotine to show the intellectual and social progress of the Revolution; by killing aristocrats and journeymen the same way, equality in death was ensured. ♥ On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” are first published, in The Boston Morning Post. Meant as an abbreviation for “oll correct,” a popular slang misspelling of “all correct” at the time, OK steadily made its way into the everyday speech of Americans.

Computers are like air-conditioners: Both stop working, if you open windows.

♥ On March 27, 1912, in Washington, D.C., Helen Taft, wife of President William Taft, and the Viscountess Chinda, wife of the Japanese ambassador, plant two Yoshina cherry trees on the northern bank of the Potomac River, near the Jefferson Memorial. The event was held in celebration of a gift by the Japanese government of 3,020 cherry trees to the United States. ♥ On March 22, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signs the Beer and Wine Revenue Act. This law levies a federal tax on all alcoholic beverages to raise revenue for the federal government and gives individual states the option to further regulate the sale and distribution of beer and wine.
