OLD-TIME CANDY

by Kathy Wolfe

Serving South Florida for over 38 years!

What was your favorite candy when you were growing up?

Take a nostalgic look back at the history behind some of the early varieties you may have enjoyed, many of them long gone but not forgotten.

• The first candy to combine milk chocolate, marshmallow, peanuts and caramel was the Goo Goo Cluster, introduced in 1913 and sold unwrapped from large glass candy jars in the drug store. When a regular customer mentioned that the candy was “So good, people will ask for it from birth,” the creator named his confection after the first sounds made by his newborn son, “Goo Goo!”

• The invention of America’s first candy machine, a lozenge cutter in 1847, got the NECCO wafers their start. The familiar pastel candies were sold for over 50 years before they were given their name, an acronym for the New England Confectionery Company that produced them. The same company introduced conversation hearts in 1866, dubbing them “motto hearts” and printing such messages as “Be Good,” “Be True” and “Kiss Me.” The phrases have been updated in recent years, adding “Call Me,” “Fax Me” and “Email Me.” In 2011, NECCO added “Tweet Me” to the list of mottos. turn the page for more!

OLD-TIME CANDY (continued): • It’s likely that nearly every child in America has at some time received a ball-shaped lollipop from the bank teller.

These little pops, known as Dum Dums, have been around since 1924 when they were introduced by the Akron Candy Company. Sales manager I.C. Bahr named the pop, figuring Dum Dum was a word any child could say.

Seven original flavors were introduced, with many added and deleted over the years, including the famous Mystery Flavor. The Mystery Flavor changes regularly since it is a blend of the tail end of one batch and the beginning of the next, whatever they may be.

• Remember Chuckles? These sugar-coated jelly candies have been around since 1921, when a Chicago marshmallow manufacturer introduced them. The five-flavored strip of candies was widely advertised with the slogan “5 flavors – 5 cents.”

• Chick-O-Sticks and Chicken Bones were pretty much the same thing. Introduced in 1938 as Chicken Bones, this was a honeycombed candy filled with peanut butter and rolled in toasted coconut. In 1955, it was discovered that another company already owned the name, and the change was made to Chick-O-Sticks.

• There’s nothing like pouring straight sugar down your throat, which is what we did with Pixy Stix, a powdered sugar packaged in a drinking straw. It started out as a drink mix in the late 1940s called Frutol, but since kids seemed to prefer the straight powder, Pixy Stix made their debut in 1952.

• The chocolate-covered, crunchy peanut butter bar 5th

became so popular with U.S. troops stationed overseas in World War I, it became a giant sensation back at home as well. The same company produced the Zagnut candy bar beginning in 1930, a crunchy peanut butter bar covered in toasted coconut. The word “zigzag” became popular in the 1930s, and it’s believed that’s where the name originated.

• Many children spent their allowance on the caramel Slo Poke suckers, because according to the familiar jingle, “Get yourself a Slo Poke, it lasts all day!” If you were a chocolate fan, you could purchase the similar Black Cow.

• How about our preferred chewing gums? Three of our old favorites, Black Jack, Beemans and Clove were discontinued years ago, but the Cadbury Adams Company, which owns the formulas, cooks up a batch of each every couple of years. The licorice-flavored Black Jack gum was the first flavored gum in America. Back in the late 1800s, an Ohio physician Dr. Edward E. Beeman marketed a gum of pepsin powder and chicle, designed to aid digestion.

Legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager made Beemans gum famous by chewing a stick before every flight for good luck. In fact, the antacid qualities of pepsin made the gum popular with pilots for reducing stomach agitation in flight.

Clove gum was first manufactured in 1914 by Thomas Adams. Legend has it that Clove grew in popularity during Prohibition because its strong smell masked the odor of illegal alcohol on the breath. The Beech Nut Company launched Fruit Stripe gum in the 1960s with a zebra as its “spokesman,” packaging it in zebra-striped wrappers. It was the only gum with stripes, which were added on after the gum was made. The down side of Fruit Stripe was that it lost its flavor very quickly, and now that it has been reintroduced, the complaint is the same — It’s pretty much flavorless in just over five minutes.

Major League Baseball

Avenue was the 1938 brainstorm of William Luden, who is more famous as the creator of Luden’s cough drops.

• Back in the 1950s when James Dean and Marlon Brando looked cool with their cigarettes rolled up in their T-shirt sleeves, candy cigarettes were all the rage with kids. It seems that candy makers actually worked with the tobacco companies to help attract young smokers! Although the original candy cigs with their “lit” red tip are long gone, they are now reproduced but, we hope, with a different goal. Some folks who have quit smoking pass out packs to friends on the anniversary of their last cigarette.

• Those little hollow tubes of black licorice coated with pastel-colored candy were known as Snaps. They appeared at candy counters for the first time around 1930 and can still be found at specialty candy shops. You’ll have a little more trouble finding wax lips, introduced in the early 1900s, which could be chewed into a waxy, cherryflavored gum. If you didn’t like the lips, vampire fangs and moustaches were also available.

• Chicago’s Williamson Candy Store produced and sold chocolate back around 1920. One of their young customers hung around the establishment so much, before long the employees were asking him to do little odd jobs, “Oh, Henry, could you do this?” and “Oh, Henry, will you bring me that?” Soon after, their newest confection was named the Oh Henry bar.

• The Pittsburgh-based D.L. Clark Company had a hit in 1917 with a chocolate-covered honeycomb of ground, roasted peanuts, simply called Clark Bar. This confection

CHRISTO REDENTOR

Watching over the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with outstretched arms, stands the Christo Redentor or Christ the Redeemer statue. This week, Tidbits imparts some little-known facts about this wonder of the modern world.

• From its foundation base to the top, Christ the Redeemer stands 130 feet (40.4 m) tall, and has a span of 92 feet (28 m) from fingertip to fingertip, the tallest religious statue in the world. A 360-passenger train departs the nearby

• Although it may appear that this immense statue stands in the middle of the wilderness, it is actually located in the heart of the city in the urban forest of Tijuca National Park. Christ the Redeemer stands atop the 2,300-foot (701-m) peak of Corcovado Mountain.

The statue is visible from 20 miles (32.2 km) away.

• During the 2010 renovation, a dynamic lighting system was installed at the base of the monument to produce special effects. At the unveiling, green and yellow lights illumined the statue to cheer on the Brazilian national football team competing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

• A Catholic priest named Pedro Maria Boss first proposed the idea for a religious monument overlooking Rio de Janeiro; however, his idea never reached fruition.

It wasn’t until 1921 that it was put forward again, this time by the Catholic Circle of Rio. They launched a fund drive, soliciting donations from the public, and construction began in 1922.

• A local engineer created the design, but French sculptor Paul Landowski was commissioned to do the sculpting.

The statue was made from reinforced concrete with outer layers of soapstone. Stone was brought to the mountain from Sweden and construction continued for the next nine years. The statue was officially unveiled in 1932.

TOOTHY TRIVIA Smile! An Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey reveals that 92 percent of people believe a nice smile is an important social asset. So maybe you need to know more about what makes up this important feature.

railway station every hour for the 20-minute trip to the site.

• Until 2002, visitors had to climb 220 steps to reach the statue’s base. Panoramic elevators and escalators have now been installed to reach the viewing area.

• You’ll spend about 39 days brushing your teeth over the course of your lifetime. Americans use about 14 million gallons of toothpaste every year. The Academy of General

• Teeth start forming well before a baby is born, although they don’t make their first appearance until the age of six months. We often call our first set of teeth “baby teeth,” but the official term is “milk teeth.” By age two, a child will have about 20 teeth, and won’t lose the first one until about age seven.

1882 that floss was made available to the general public.

The first patent wasn’t issued until 1898, awarded to the Johnson & Johnson Corporation.

• Once you hit age 65, your chances of keeping all your teeth significantly decline. Only six out of 10 seniors have all their teeth.

• Fresh breath is important, too! A survey indicates that 32 percent of people find bad breath the least attractive trait of a co-worker.

• The average adult has 32 teeth. The four front teeth on both top and bottom are incisors. On each side of the incisors are the four sharp and pointed canine teeth. Premolars, sometimes called bicuspids, are next in line, eight in all, four up and four down. The eight molars include the wisdom teeth, which typically grow in between the ages of 17 and 21.

• Eating a lot of carbs at one meal will not do as much damage as ingesting sugary sodas all afternoon. About 78 percent of Americans will have at least one cavity by the time they reach 17.

• The apocalyptic movie “2012” featured the Redeemer in a scene of destruction, with the statue collapsing at the arms and knees, crumbling into ruin. A billboard image of the statue’s fall posted in Los Angeles so offended that city’s Brazilian community that a campaign was launched to have the ads removed. The Brazilian Catholic church even filed a lawsuit against Columbia Pictures for the use of what they claimed were “unauthorized images.”

• Your smile is important! Half the population says the smile is the first facial feature they notice. Yet 80 percent of people aren’t happy with their own smile. Smiles seem to differ by gender — The average woman flashes her pearly whites 62 times a day, but a man averages just eight smiles a day.

• The part of the tooth visible above the gum is known as the crown, covered in hard shiny enamel. This protective enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. Directly under it is the dentine, which makes up the majority of a tooth. The next layer is the pulp, where the blood supply and nerve endings are located. This goes all the way into the root of the tooth under the gum.

• Cavities are caused by the acid produced by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria thrive on carbohydrates, so any time you eat carbs, the bacteria become active and produce the acid. It’s not just sugar that kicks the bacteria into gear — rice, potatoes, bread, fruits and vegetables can also trigger this. It’s not how many carbs you eat, but rather how long your teeth are exposed to them.

• Because of the strong winds and rain to which the statue is exposed, regular maintenance is a must at this site. A 2008 lightning strike created extensive damage to the statue’s fingers and head, requiring immediate repairs to the exterior as well as to the lightning rods concealed in the arms and head. In 2010, a $3.8 million restoration was completed. One hundred workers labored to renovate both the internal structure and outer appearance. Layers of fungi were removed and small cracks were repaired.

More than 60,000 pieces of soapstone were replaced with stone taken from the same Swedish quarry as the original. This restoration also corrected the shocking vandalism that occurred when individuals spray-painted the statue, an act the mayor of Rio called a “crime against the nation.”

Dentistry recommends a brushing time of two to three minutes; however, statistics show that the average person brushes just 45 to 70 seconds a day.

• A New Orleans dentist, Levi Parmly, was the first to recommend the process of flossing and in 1815, invented the first form of a silk dental floss. But it wasn’t until

Blood tests showed that the more people followed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westernâ&#x20AC;? pattern, the more problems they had with blood-sugar control. They had higher blood concentrations of glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin, and C-peptide, and lower concentrations of folic acid.

Vegetables Fight Diabetes and Colon Cancer Two studies in the December 2003 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition add more evidence against fatty meats, dairy products, and eggs, while supporting the health value of vegetable-rich diets. In the first report, Michigan State University researchers analyzed data from the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They identified two prevalent dietary patterns: One, which they termed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westernâ&#x20AC;? pattern, was heavy on processed meats, eggs, red meats, and highfat dairy products, while the other, called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American-

In the second report, the antioxidant lycopene showed power to prevent colon cancer. Lycopene is the red pigment in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, pink guava, and papaya. Researchers in Stuttgart, Germany, studied people undergoing colonoscopy, and compared those whose colon examinations turned out to be normal to those whose examinations revealed adenomatous polypsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the kind that often lead to colon cancer. Those with the precancerous growths had, on average, 35% lower blood levels of lycopene, as well as somewhat lower blood levels of betacarotene. The results suggest that loading up on healthy fruits and vegetables, especially lycopene-rich varieties, can help prevent colon cancer. Previous studies have linked lycopene to reduced risk of cancers of the prostate, lung, and stomach. few instances, iron deficiency anemia, renal failure and Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease are associated with it. The anemia connection is worth checking out, since it has a definite cure -- iron tablets.

Restless Legs Ruin Sleep DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have suffered with restless leg syndrome for 25 years. What causes it? Is there a cure? I do take Requip. Some say that having the veins in your legs stripped helps. Does it? -- C.K. ANSWER: Stabbing pain, a burning feeling and a creepycrawly sensation in the legs are some of the ways people describe restless leg syndrome. The sensation mostly comes on in the evening when sitting in a chair or, more often upon going to bed. The night is punctuated with interruptions of sleep, as the sensations wake a person.

They drive the person to get up and walk about until these annoying feelings go way. Walking does get rid of them, but the respite is only temporary. The attacks reach peaks at midnight and again around 4 a.m.

For most, a cause cannot be found. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family affair, passed by the parent to the children. In a

The medicine you mention, Requip (ropinirole) is one often prescribed for this problem. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taking it for some time without relief, you ought to try some of the other medicines used for it. Mirapex (pramipexole) and Neurontin (gabapentin) are two others. A new variety of gabapentin called Horizant comes as an extended-release tablet, so medication is delivered to the body throughout the night.

A warm bath before going to bed, coupled with a leg massage afterward, often can cut down on the number of attacks and their intensity. Restricting alcohol and caffeine works for some people. Removing leg veins will not help.

The booklet on restless leg syndrome and nighttime leg cramps goes into greater detail on both these subjects.

Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 306W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

Anger and Heart Disease Men who rate themselves as generally angry on questionnaires given early in life are, by the age of 55, three times more likely to have heart disease and six times more likely to have a heart attack (myocardial infarction), compared to other men. The Johns Hopkins University study appears in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archives of Internal Medicine.

One common theme between anger and heart disease: Testosterone may lead to aggressiveness, and men with low levels of sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which binds testosterone, tend to be rated by their wives as more domineering and difficult to get along with, compared to men with higher SHBG levels. Low-fat, vegan diets lower cholesterol levels, but also raise SHBG, helping to mute testosterone effects.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentally clear, but physically unable to take care of herself. The last time I visited her, a nurse was taking her blood pressure. She told me that my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure in her right arm was normal, but the pressure in her left arm was 165 over 95.

Which is her true blood pressure? -- E.L. ANSWER: A 10-point discrepancy in blood pressure between the two arms is considered acceptable. With a larger difference, the actual blood pressure is the higher one.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How does pancreatitis relate to cancer of the pancreas? Is it an early stage of that cancer?

-- D.B. ANSWER: Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas brought on by many different conditions, including viral infections. Pancreatitis is not an early stage of cancer.

Chronic pancreatitis, a long duration of pancreas inflammation, is a slight risk for eventual development of pancreatic cancer, but even it is not a common prelude to cancer. (c) 2012 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

Chickpea Tacos from Kevin Nealon

By Samantha Mazzotta

Overseed Lawn Now for Spring Growth Q: I have some brown and bare patches in my yard. My neighbor recommended that I thatch my entire yard, or at least the brown patches, then put some fertilizer and “overseed” the damaged areas. What kind of fertilizer is he talking about? And why seed the lawn now, when winter is coming? -- Fred D., Madison, Wis. A: Overseeding lawns can be helpful in filling in scrawny or thin areas. The idea is to overseed shortly before the first hard frost. The seeds will germinate and establish roots,

1 small onion, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained 3 - 5 tablespoons salsa 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste 8 - 10 taco shells In large sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from sauté pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.

Curried Pumpkin Apple Bisque from Mariana Tosca Makes 6 to 8 servings

1 small pumpkin or medium butternut or other type of winter squash 1/4 cup olive oil 2 onions, chopped 3 tablespoons curry powder (optional) 8 cups water 2 apples, chopped 1/2 cup coconut milk 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup pomegranate seeds (optional) Pierce pumpkin or squash with a fork, and bake at 400 F until soft (50 minutes to 1 hour). When cool enough to handle, seed, peel, and chop.

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot and sauté onion until translucent and lightly browned.

Add curry powder, if using, and stir for 30 seconds. Add pumpkin, water, apples, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to boil then let simmer for 25 minutes. Cool slightly, then purée in batches in blender. Re-warm before serving and add pomegranate seeds if desired.

which will both help the lawn come in more lush and green in the spring, as well as reduce competition from invasive weeds.

However, it’s important to know what kind of grass makes up your lawn, in order to pick the right kind of seed for the job, as well as the correct type and amount of fertilizer. I’d recommend cutting a small patch of grass (including roots) and taking it to your local nursery or the lawn and garden center of your home-improvement store.

While you’re getting your grass identified, ask about possible causes of the brown and bare areas. There may be a problem with air, water or light reaching those areas. Improper or excessive fertilization could be occurring. Or maybe there’s too much water in those areas due to a drainage problem.

Identifying the actual cause of the brown and bare spots, and then eliminating that cause, will prevent it from coming back once you’ve repaired those areas.

Once the bare and brown spots are addressed, overseeding (and reseeding bare areas) can take place. For small lawns, a handheld spreader is inexpensive and spreads seeds evenly.

For larger lawns, a rotary spreader works best.

Prior to overseeding, mow your lawn to less than 2 inches in height if possible and collect the grass clippings so seeds can reach the soil.

HOLLYWOOD -- In 1939, undoubtedly the greatest year for films in movie history, MGM released “Wuthering Heights” starring Laurence Olivier, Merle Oberon and David Niven. In 1970, it was remade with a former James Bond, Timothy Dalton, and Anna Calder Marshall. In 1992, it was remade yet again with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. Then, in 2009, it became a two-part mini-series (90 minutes each) with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley.

In 2008, Natalie Portman was cast to play Cathy in another remake, but other commitments forced her out of the project. She was out, and Michael Fassbender was in as Heathcliff, with Abbie Cornish playing Kathy. By 2009, the director left, as did Fassbender and Cornish. When Peter Webber took on directing, he cast “Gossip Girl’s” Ed Westwick and Gemma Atherton as the leads. More delays and more cast changes. In 2010, director Andrea Arnold cast Kaya Scondelario from TV’s “Skins” series and the “Clash of the Titans: 3D.” In Emily Bronte’s original novel, Heathcliff was a gypsy. Director Arnold found James Howson through open auditions, and despite his lack of experience -just miniscule roles in “Trainspotting” and “Slum Dog Millionaire” -- he became the first man of color to be cast as Heathcliff. The film cost $5 million and finished shooting in November 2010. It made the rounds of film festivals in Venice, Toronto, Zurich, Leeds, London and Sundance and was well-received. You can judge for yourself when it opens nationwide on Friday, Oct. 12.

Also on Oct. 12, get ready for what could be one of the zaniest screwball comedies in years. Colin Farrell plays a writer who dreams of finishing his screenplay, “Seven Psychopaths,” while surrounded by his best friend (Sam Rockwell), a dog thief; his partner (Christopher Walken), a religious man with a violent past; and a gangster (Woody Harrelson), whose dog has been stolen. Harrelson replaced Mickey Rourke, who dropped out of “The Expendables

that MGM was financially strapped and couldn’t afford to reshoot the outdated ending to make North Korea the villains instead of China (as in the original film). The good news is that in the three years waiting to be released, two of the leading men have become bigger stars. Chris Hensworth of “Thor” and Josh Hutcherson of “The Hunger Games” were unknowns when cast in “Red Dawn,” but now have huge followings and could mean a big boxoffice take for the film. After all, it’s always darkest before the (Red) Dawn!

305-945-5516 Madden Football” gamers and the fantasy football players whose very lives seem to be pinned on their quarterback and wide receiver play helped shape this culture. As a topic, the passing game dominates the sports-radio call-in shows.

But there’s another reason for this phenomenon: player injuries.

40 Is the New 20 No less than five games out of the 17 played during the opening week of the NFL season were won by teams that plundered their foes for 40 points or more.

According to the good folks at the Elias Sports Bureau, you have to go all the way back to the 1950s -- 1954 to be exact -- to find a like performance during the first week of the season. For a little context, that was the year that Bill Haley and His Comets topped the newly formed “Rock ‘n’ Roll” charts with “(We’re Gonna) Rock Around the Clock,” and Cousin Brucie was manning the wheels of steel.

According to various sources, the average career of an NFL player is anywhere between 3.5 to 6 years. Using that as a sample we unearth the following numbers for teams scoring 40 or more points during the past few seasons: 2011-2; 2010-0; 2009-1; 2008-1; 2007-2.

Clearly -- as if you needed to be told this -- the NFL is a passing league and you can expect to see scores like these become more and more commonplace.

The pass-happy, always-go-for-it-on-fourth-down, “John

Time was a team would run a back 40 to 50 plays per game. But that style of play wreaked havoc on not only the running back, but the people tackling him, too.

The cry from the stands is always for “DE-FENSE! DEFENSE!” I can’t ever recall a time I’ve heard the fans chant “OFFENSE! OFFENSE!” But the writing was on the wall when the NFL instituted the “in the grasp” rule for quarterbacks in 1991. The rash of concussions, particularly among high-profile quarterbacks like Steve Young and Troy Aikman, made it a ... well, no brainer.

And as players became bigger and stronger each year, injuries and concussions grew in lock step. This has led to great concern among players and parents, who are increasingly keeping their kids off the Pop Warner fields.

The game has progressed since the early 1900s, when people used to actually die due to trampling during a “flying wedge” play (since outlawed). Talk about points? The Chicago Bears crushed the Washington Redskins in the 1940 championship, 73-0. The Bears rushed for 382 yards and their starting quarterback only attempted 4 passes the entire game.

Well that day is done. Forty is the new 20 folks, and if you ask me, we’re all the richer for it.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last week a really tragic accident happened just down the street. Our neighbor was walking his 1-year-old German Shepherd, ?Champ,? on a sturdy leash. The dog tended to tug on his leash or jump away from his owner when something grabbed his attention. Sadly, when the owner paused to let his dog sniff at a tree on the curb while he waved to a neighbor, Champ suddenly darted into the busy street. Before his owner could tug him back on the curb, Champ was struck by a car and killed almost instantly.

Please warn your readers to keep their dogs under control and on the sidewalk, even while on a leash, and to pay attention to their dogs during their walks. My neighbor is suffering terrible grief, and I hate to think of anyone else, or their pets, suffering from preventable accidents.

-- Sharon in Utica, N.Y. DEAR SHARON: You’re right: While accidents do

Reinforcing your dog’s basic obedience training, including sit, stay and heel commands, is an important daily task.

by Samantha Weaver â&#x20AC;˘ It was American actress, screenwriter and notorious sex symbol Mae West who made the following sage observation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough.â&#x20AC;?

scraps from our kitchen, and they fertilize the garden and eat pests,â&#x20AC;? she adds.

At the annual event in New York City, Dellis accurately recalled a whopping 303 numbers in sequence.

Raising chickens might not be on your to-do list this fall, but there are other activities to bring home a bit of country life.

â&#x20AC;˘ The Rose Parade, popularly known as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Year Celebration, was originally started in 1890. These days, hundreds of thousands of people crowd the parade route each year, and millions more view the television broadcast worldwide. The amount of work that goes into the display is astonishing: Each float has anywhere from 30,000 to 150,000 flowers on it, which are applied during the 700 to 900 hours spent on preparing each float.

While farmers bring in their crops, your pre-schoolers also can â&#x20AC;&#x153;harvestâ&#x20AC;? natural items on walks. Look down and not just up as you hunt for acorns, branches with berries, pinecones and fallen bark. As leaves turn brilliant colors, press them in a book between waxed paper when you get home. On a rainy day, make collages, necklaces, place cards and centerpieces for your kitchen table.

â&#x20AC;˘ Beloved film icon James Dean was missing his front teeth; he had to wear a bridge to fill the gap in his smile. â&#x20AC;˘ If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like the average American, at least one-tenth of the garbage you produce is made of plastic. â&#x20AC;˘ The first sound recording ever made was created in 1877

by Thomas Edison. It was a musical selection: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Had a Little Lamb.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Those who study such things say that American English has roughly 20 swear words (depending, of course, on how one defines swearing). In contrast, residents of ancient Rome had a lexicon of about 800 â&#x20AC;&#x153;dirtyâ&#x20AC;? words to draw upon. â&#x20AC;˘ If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning a trip by air anytime soon, you might want to keep in mind that the busiest day in airports is Thursday.

Thought for the Day: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.â&#x20AC;? -- Terry Pratchett (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

HARVEST FALL FINDS

Bring Home Country Living Raise chickens in your back yard in the city? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why not?â&#x20AC;? said 36-year-old Alison Holmlund of Santa Cruz, Calif., when the opportunity came her way this past summer.

The busy Silicon Valley software executive and mom of three kids under 5 might appear to have enough going on in her life without adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;chicken farmerâ&#x20AC;? to her resume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I simply couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse when two adorable chicks became available for adoption after being lovingly cared for by children at a farmyard summer camp. I thought adding Ruby and Penny to our family would be a great way to help my city-raised kids better understand where their food comes from,â&#x20AC;? she told me on a recent visit.

Just then, 3-year-old Jude announced that he found a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Penny eggâ&#x20AC;? in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holmlund Hen House,â&#x20AC;? a sturdy structure built with recycled paneling from a 1970s bedroom remodel, a repurposed refrigerator shelf for a screen, and simple knobs from a dilapidated cabinet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much fun for the boys to check for eggs during the day -- sometimes we get up to four. Penny lays light-greencolored eggs, and Rubyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are brown,â&#x20AC;? says Alison.

Raising chickens is a real-life application of recycling and learning about the food cycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We give them food
