Winter is a time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.Winter is also the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat. Here are some chilly Tidbits about the wintry season. • You think it’s cold where you live? The lowest recorded world temperature clocked in at a frozen -128.6 degrees F (-89.2 C) at Vostok Station in Antarctica, July 21, 1985. And that’s without factoring in the wind chill factor.

:H 7UHDW <RX 5LJKW

• The lowest temperature in the U.S.A. is -79.8 F (-62.1 C) in Prospect Creek, Alaska, on Jan. 23, 1971. Discounting Alaska, the lowest temperature in the lower 48 states is -69.7 (-56.5 C) in Rogers Pass, Montana, Jan. 20, 1954. • Some people believe that cold-water swimming has beneficial health benefits, such as stress relief, increased resistance to illnesses such as the flu and pneumonia. • Cold-water swimming organizations in the United States and Canada are known as “polar bear clubs,â€? while similar groups in Siberia are called “walrus clubs.â€? turn the page for more!

COLD, HARD TRUTH (continued): • People over age 60 and children less than a year old are most susceptible to the cold. For those of you in that category, experts suggest keeping indoor temperatures above 69 F (21 C) and when going outside, dress appropriately for the cold. Have plenty of layers of clothes and a hat on the head. • How cold was it? For those of us who like to think that George Washington walked on water, this confirms it: the winter of 1779-1780 was so cold that ice was piled 20 feet high along the Delmarva Coast and stayed there until spring. The upper portion of the Chesapeake Bay and the entire Potomac River was frozen solid. People were able to walk from Annapolis to Kent Island and from Alexandria into Washington D.C. • Contrary to popular belief, a polar bear’s fur is not white; each shaft of hair is actually transparent, with a hollow core. Because the hollow core scatters and reflects light, the polar bear’s coat appears white, like the ice and snow around it. • In the late 1970s, three polar bears at the San Diego Zoo appeared to turn green when colonies of algae grew in their hair shafts. A veterinarian restored their white appearance by killing the algae with a saline solution. • On Jan. 6, 2002 snow fell in Athens for the first time since 1992. Some Aegean islands were also affected by snow and gale force winds.

• Desert areas in the north of Saudi Arabia were affected by snow for the first time in 40 years on Jan. 18, 2002. The snow melted away quickly but reports say that nomads in the area weren’t used to snow and were rather confused as to what to do with it. • Snowbirds must have had a sense of dÊjà vu when snow fell in Miami, Palm Beach, Miami Beach and Homestead (22 miles south of Miami) on Jan. 17, 1997. It was the first and thus far the only time snow has been observed south of Fort Myers. The snow melted on contact with the ground but nevertheless it did snow.

COLD, HARD TRUTH (continued): • A hailstone weighing more than one-and-a-half pounds once fell on Coffeyville, Kansas. No one was hit. • Based on records between 1961 and 1990, Rochester, New York receives an average of 94 inches of snow a year and is the snowiest large city in the United States. • Baby it’s cold outside: Here’s an oddity: - 40 degrees is the same regardless of whether you measure in Fahrenheit or Celsius. • Mercury freezes at -36 F (-38 C). So if it gets really cold outside, that old fashioned mercury thermometer you keep outside will itself freeze at minus 38 degrees.

• Looks can be deceiving. Just because the sun is out on a winter day doesn’t mean it is necessarily warm. The coldest days are usually the clear ones – no clouds to hold in what little heat may be radiating away from the earth.

• A wind chill factor of -25 F (-32 C) or lower can actually cause skin to freeze; that’s called frostbite. If it is that cold out, either cover all your exposed skin. Or get inside. We heartily recommend the latter.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. He was assassinated in 1968.

• In southern Illinois and the Ozark hills of Missouri, “gooseboneâ€? weather prophets examine the breastbone of a wild goose killed in autumn. If it is thin, that predicts a mild winter; if it is thick and opaque, a hard winter; if white, much snow; if reddish or red-spotted, cold but little snow. • Muskrat love: some people believe that muskrats build bigger lodges and the fur is thicker on muskrats, raccoons, skunks and other furbearers before a severe winter.

"I Have a Dream" is the popular name given to the public speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., in which he called for racial equality and an end to discrimination. King did the speech on August 28, 1963 from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

� Next time you’re in Iowa, you might want to stop by the rural town of Riverside, which touts itself as the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. Yep, the future birthplace. It seems that “Star Trek� creator Gene Roddenberry asserted that the character of James Tiberius Kirk was born in Iowa, but he didn’t specify exactly where. In 1985, the Riverside City Council voted to declare their town the future birthplace of the character, later writing to Roddenberry and receiving his approval. In honor of its newfound claim to fame, the city began hosting an annual Trek Fest, complete with a Spockapalooza battle of the bands. � If you enjoy cooking, you might have heard of some of the following cookbooks: “Kill It and Grill It,� “The Joy of Pickling,� “Full of Beans,� “The Stinking Cookbook� and “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat!� Then again, maybe not. � The term “bric-a-brac,� usually used to refer to a collection of tawdry trinkets, comes from the French, where its original meaning was “at random.�

â—? Most parents of small children know that trampolines can be dangerous, and they are. Every year, nearly 100,000 people receive emergencyroom treatment for injuries sustained while using trampolines. Those injuries are hardly ever fatal, though. Pools, on the other hand, are far more deadly; more than 1,000 people in the United States die in swimming pools annually. *** (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

COLD, HARD TRUTH (continued): • The woolly bear caterpillar is supposed to forecast a mild winter if its middle band of reddish brown is wider than the two end bands of black, and a hard winter if it is nar-rower. • Most people think it can be too cold to snow. But they’d be wrong. It can snow even at very cold temperatures if there’s a source of moisture and some way to lift or cool the air.

Laughs A preacher and his flock at a poor church in the hills of Tennessee took up collections for months to get money to buy paint for the church exterior. Finally they bought enough paint and joined together on a Saturday morning to complete the job. When they were about half finished they realized that they were going to run out of paint. The preacher said, “It’s a water base paint, just thin it down with water.� They did so until the color started losing its depth and when they finally finished it was dark green at the top, light green in the middle and a very light green at the bottom. Just then a dark cloud appeared and the heavens opened up with a deluge of rain which washed all of the paint. The preacher and the congregation were stunned at the hard work they had done for nothing. Just then there was a lightning flash followed by the roll of thunder and a loud voice from the heavens rang out, “REPAINT, REPAINT AND THIN NO MORE.�

THE BEATLES

They not only changed the very nature of rock and roll itself, but also pop culture. Before the Beatles, Elvis ruled and Motown was king. After the mop tops appeared on the scene, nothing would ever be the same, from the way people listened to music, to how they dressed and how they looked. Truly, a legendary group. • The Beatles had 27 number one hits. You can listen to them all on the CD, Beatles One. • When did the Beatles break up? No one is quite sure. But the group itself did not publicly confirm the break-up until December 31, 1970, when Paul McCartney filed a law-suit against John, George and Ringo in order to dissolve the Beatles • Stuart Sutcliffe was a Beatle from January 1960, until he left the group in June 1961 to return to studying art. Paul McCartney switched to bass in order to fill the gap. (Ringo Replaced Pete Best). You think Sutcliffe ever regretted it? • According to the Guinness Book of Records, The Beatles have sold in excess of one billion units (1,010,000,000, including cassettes, records, CDs and bootlegs). • The Beatles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Paul McCartney did not attend the ceremony, leaving surviving Beatles Harrison and Starr and Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono, to be inducted by fellow British Invasion legend Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones. • “Strawberry Fieldsâ€? was named for a real place, Strawberry Field, a children’s home run by the Salvation Army in Liverpool. Its location was near John Lennon’s childhood home. The original Victorian building was too old and was demolished in the late 1960’s and some land at the back was sold off to help pay for the new buildings. It’s still called “Strawberry Fieldâ€? and the original walls and gates are there, and it’s still a Salvation Army Children’s Home. Word has it that Yoko Ono still contributes to its upkeep. • Paul McCartney wrote “Hey Judeâ€? for Julian Lennon, John’s son. • Among the people on the cover of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Bandâ€? are Stuart Sutcliffe, Laurel and Hardy, Marilyn Monroe, Karl Marx, boxer Sonny Liston, Bob Dylan, Lenny Bruce and Shirley Tem-ple. • On the Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album the lyrics for each song appear on the back cover. This is the first time the lyrics appeared on any Rock album. • The first all acoustic Beatles song was “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.â€? • The group’s name had numerous inspirations. Stuart Sutcliffe noted that a motorcycle gang in the film, “The Wild One,â€? was called ‘The Beetles,’ and John Lennon reportedly had a dream in which a man appeared “on a flaming pie,â€? saying, “You will be Beatles with an ‘a’.â€? The band members were also influenced by the name of Buddy Holly’s band, the Crickets. • The Beatles won 14 Grammy awards.

Check for local dart events at:

www.crdarts.com

• The song “Yesterdayâ€? originally had the title, “Scrambled Eggs.â€? • “Lucy in the Sky with Diamondsâ€? was actually based on a painting that John’s son Julian brought home from school which he had titled “Lucy in the sky, with diamonds.â€?

Chase Those Winter Blues There’s one sure-fire way to get through a cold winter and fight the blues: Think spring. This is the perfect time to start planning for warm weather. Here are some ideas: Plan a garden, whether that means pots on your balcony, a bigger space in your yard or a spot in a community garden. Send for catalogs and lay out your plans on paper. Meanwhile, a green plant or two in your living space can help you think “spring,� as well as cleaning the air. (If you have pets, be sure that you can put the plants where they can’t get to them.) Design the perfect cruise or vacation. Check online for information, but go through a local travel agency, as it’s safer than ordering anything online. For adventures closer to home, ask the senior center if it is planning any local trips. Investigate warm weather volunteer work, such as assisting with Habitat for Humanity. Not all of its work involves heavy lifting. Meanwhile, staying active now is a good way to fight any depression while we get through the winter. Think “new.� Look for new places to walk: malls, local high-school gyms, other neighborhoods. Study something new. Check a local college to see if there are classes you can audit. Find a new author and borrow books from the library. (Reference librarians love the question, “What do I read next?�) Check classes in pottery or stained glass and get a head start on next year’s Christmas gifts. Join or start a group that exchanges recipes, reads selected books, does photography, plays with animals at the local shelter or rents weekly videos. If there’s a hobby you’ve wanted to try, winter is a good time to start. Take advantage of all the information on the Internet, either on your own computer or one at the library.

INAUGURATION DAY

• One year ago this Jan. 20, Barack Obama was sworn in as our nation’s 44th president. Based on TV ratings, the inauguration was watched by 37.8 million, second only to Reagan’s 41.8 million in 1981. • The 1949 inauguration of Harry Truman was the first to be nationally televised, and was seen by an estimated 10 million Americans. Is is said that more people watched President Truman’s Inauguration than the total of all people witnessing all previous Presidential Inaugurations.

• Except for Washington’s first inaugural, when he was sworn in on April 30, 1789, all presidents until 1937 were inaugurated in March in an effort to avoid bad weather. • George Washington wasn’t exactly a man of words. In fact, his inaugural in 1793 was the shortest inaugural address, at 135 words. William H. Harrison’s (1841), on the other hand, was the longest inaugural address at 8,445 words. • The inaugural date was changed from March to Jan. 20 as a result of passage of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution (passed in 1933). Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s second inauguration was the first to have been held on that date. • Thomas Jefferson, in 1801, was the only president to walk to and from his inaugural. He was also the first to be inaugurated at the Capitol.

Teacher to a third grade student: "Billy, if both of your parents were born in 1967, how old are they now?" Billy: "It depends." Teacher: "It depends on what?" Billy: "It depends on whether you ask my father or my mother."

• James Madison was the first President to take the oath of office and deliver the inaugural address outdoors; the ceremony took place on a platform in front of the temporary Brick Capitol, where the Supreme Court now stands. • Other “firstsâ€?: James K. Polk’s was the first inauguration covered by telegraph. James Buchanan’s was the first to be photographed. William McKinley’s inaugural was the first recorded by a motion picture camera, Harry S. Truman’s was the first to be televised, and Bill Clinton’s was the first inauguration to be broadcast live over the internet. • Thirty five inaugurations between 1789 and 1993, enjoyed clear weather. During ten inaugurations it rained, and seven had snow. Ronald Reagan had the best and worst of it. Ronald Reagan’s first inauguration in 1981 was held on a day when it was 55° F (13C) . The coldest inauguration day ever was Reagan’s second (Jan. 21, 1985). It was 7° F (-14C). • In 1925, Calvin Coolidge became the first president to be sworn in by a former president, Chief Justice William Howard Taft. • Women and politics: James Garfield’s mother was the first, in 1881, to attend her son’s inauguration. William Taft’s wife was the first one (1909) to accompany her husband in the procession from the Capitol to the White House. Women were included for the first time in Woodrow Wilson’s second inaugural parade, in 1917. Lyndon Johnson, in 1963, was the first, and so far the only president to be sworn in by a woman, U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel � On Jan. 30, 1835, Andrew Jackson becomes the first American president to experience an assassination attempt. Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, shot at Jackson, but his gun misfired. A furious 67-year-old Jackson confronted his attacker, clubbing Lawrence several times with his walking cane. A second shot also misfired. � On Jan. 25, 1924, the first Winter Olympics takes off in style at Chamonix in the French Alps. Spectators were thrilled by the ski jump and bobsled, as well as 12 other events involving a total of six sports. The United States came in third, winning its only gold medal in the 500-meter speedskating event. � On Jan. 26, 1934, producer Samuel Goldwyn buys the film rights to “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz� by L. Frank Baum. Goldwyn had intended for Shirley Temple to play Dorothy in the film, but 17-year-old Judy Garland got the part instead.

� On Jan. 31, 1945, Pvt. Eddie Slovik becomes the first American soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion -- and the only one who suffered such a fate during World War II. Slovik claimed he was “too scared and too nervous� to be a rifleman, and threatened to run away if forced into combat. He deserted the next day.
