With the hazy, crazy early days of August approaching, can school be far away? Sorry kids, but this is the time of year when your parents are already starting to think about sending you back to class, whether it’s college, elementary school or high school. So to make it a little easier on you all, Tidbits makes the grade this week with trivia about all kinds of schools. Enjoy. • Did you know that the prestigious schools of the Ivy League were mostly founded before the Revolutionary War and funded by lotteries? It’s true. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Kings College (Columbia), Dartmouth and Brown Universities were all partially funded, back in the 1700s, by private lotteries. • The oldest university _in Canada is generally thought to be the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, founded in 1785_as the Provincial Academy of Arts and Sciences. • For those who wonder why it’s Johns Hopkins University (in Baltimore, Maryland) instead of John Hopkins, the explanation goes way back to the founder of the school. Johns Hopkins (1795-1873) was named after his greatgrandmother, Margaret Johns Hopkins. Hopkins was a lifelong bachelor, and when he died, he left most of a huge fortune to found the University and Medical School that now have his name. • During the 18th and early 19th centuries, Canadian families remained the unrivalled setting for education in that country; few children in what was then British North America received formal instruction either from tutors or in schools. • Although Thomas Jefferson had supported the concept of free public education, elementary schooling was only available to America’s wealthy until the 1840s. That’s when reformers like Horace Mann of Massachusetts and Henry Barnard of Connecticut began to push for tax-funded schools with the belief that universal education would produce good citizens, unite society, prevent crime and end poverty. turn the page for more!

SCHOOLS (continued): • Until the 1930s, most Americans only completed eight years of school. High School only became popular during the Great Depression, when job-strapped communities saw benefits to keeping teenagers in class and out of the workforce where they’d only serve as low-cost competition to adults.

• Founded in 1878 by Bishop Isaac Hellmuth and the Anglican Diocese of Huron, the University of Western Ontario is one of Canada’s oldest and best universities. The first students graduated in arts and medicine in 1883.
• Family owned and operated for over 35 years
• Remember James Meredith? The University of Mississippi gained national attention when it denied admission to James Meredith, an African American, who applied in 1961. He took the case to court, won, and started classes at Ole Miss in 1963. What many people don’t know is that he successfully graduated in 1964 and has been a supporter of Ole Miss ever since.

• 74.9 million: That’s the number of people enrolled in school throughout the United States — from nursery school to college. To put this in perspective, this amounts to more than one-fourth of the U.S. population age 3 and older. • Of the approximately 7.2 million teachers in the United States, 2.9 million work at elementary and middle school levels. On average, median annual wages of kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers ranged from $47,100 to $51,180 in May 2008; the lowest 10 percent earned $30,970 to $34,280; the top 10 percent earned $75,190 to $80,970. The average hourly wage for other school workers? Bus drivers earn $16.56 an hour, custodians earn $14.19 an hour, and cafeteria workers earn about $11.60 an hour. • The average number of children participating each month in the United States’ national school lunch program in 2009 was 31.3 million. That’s a lot of milk. • America’s total apple production estimate in 2009 was 20.11 billion pounds, up four percent from 2007. The chances are good that the apples your children present to their teachers or enjoy for lunch were grown in Washington State, which accounts for more than half of the nation’s total production. • In fall 2009, a record of nearly 49.8 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools in America. Of these, almost 35.0 million will be in prekindergarten through 8th grade and 14.8 million in grades 9 through 12. An additional 5.8 million students are expected to attend private schools this coming fall.

www.themattresscenterfl.com • The per-pupil expenditure on public elementary and secondary education for the United States in 2007 was almost $10,000. New York spent the most among states or state equivalents ($15,981), followed by New Jersey ($15,691) and the District of Columbia ($14,324). Utah ($5,683) spent the least per student, on average. • Education pays off. According to a recent study reported in U.S. News & World Report, college graduates earn an average $20,000 a year more than people who only have a high school diploma. So get a degree. • In fall 2009, a record 18.4 million students were expected to attend the America’s 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities, an increase of about 3.1 million since fall 2000. • Females were expected to comprise the majority of those college students, numbering about 10.5 million compared to 7.9 million males in fall 2009. Although the majority of students will attend full time (an estimated 11.4 million for fall 2009), about 7.0 million are expected to attend part time. • Go Buckeyes. The largest college campus in the United States by enrollment is Ohio State University, in Columbus, which in the fall of 2009 enrolled 55,014 students. No
• For the 2007-08 academic year in the United States, annual prices for undergraduate tuition, room and board were estimated to be $11,578 at public institutions (including $4,307 for in-state tuition) and $29,915 at private institutions. • The most expensive college in America by tuition is Middlebury College in Vermont, with an annual tuition of $43,690. The most expensive college, when figuring tuition along with housing, books, clothing, etc., is Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, N.Y., with yearly costs computed to be $54,410. • In addition to graduates, all kinds of interesting things come out of colleges. At Rutgers University in New Jersey, scientists developed Cheez Wiz, a college delight and student staple if there ever was one. • Royal Roads University is the only Canadian university to offer its MBA program in Mandarin. Considering China’s massive economy, that’s a wise choice.

MUSIC LEGEND:
BOB DYLAN Born Robert Allen Zimmerman, Bob Dylan is perhaps the best known and best loved of all American singersongwriters. • Robert Allen Zimmerman’s birth date is thought to be May 24, 1941. But a passport issued to Robert Dylan in 1974 says his birth date is May 11, 1941. So which is it Bob? • Dylan was scheduled to appear on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on May 12, 1963. He was going to sing “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.” But during the dress rehearsal, he was told that “John Birch” was deemed too controversial by network censors, and program producer Bob Precht, whose idea it was to invite Dylan on the show, asked him to sing another song. Dylan declined and did not appear. • In August 1969, Dylan made his first paid public performance since July 26, 1966, when he broke his neck in the crash of his Triumph 500 motorcycle. Backed by the Band, he performed in front of 200,000 people at England’s Isle of Wight festival. He was paid $75,000 for a 70minute performance. • In 1967, while recuperating from his motorcycle accident, Dylan signed with MGM Records, home of the Righteous Brothers, the Lovin’ Spoonful, Connie Francis and the late Hank Williams. MGM withdrew the contract, and Dylan signed with Columbia. • Dylan won his first Grammy in 1980 for best rock vocal performance for the religious-oriented “Gotta Serve Somebody.” • Dylan’s reputation as a songwriter is larger than his

record sales. His best-selling album is “Greatest Hits” (1967), which sold between 2 million and 3 million copies. The runner-up is “Greatest Hits - Vol. II” (1971), selling one million copies. Columbia Records doesn’t release sales figures, but a press release said Vol. II is nearing doubleplatinum status. The next bestsellers are “Desire” (‘76) and “Blood on the Tracks” (‘75). • Dylan was not a big hit-maker either. None of his singles ever reached No. 1 on Billboard’s pop chart. “Like a Rolling Stone” (‘65) peaked at No. 2, as did “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35” (‘66). • Three Dylan songs begin with nearly the same line, “Early in the morning.” The songs are “Obviously Five Believers,” “Pledging My Time” and “Tangled Up in Blue” (which actually starts “early one morning”). • Dylan’s harmonica is heard on records by Harry Belafonte, George Harrison, Steve Goodman, Roger McGuinn, Booker T. and Priscilla Jones, Doug Sahm, Carolyn Hester, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and Sly & Robbie. • Dylan had a rule that he only recorded music at night. He would show up to the studio around 9 p.m. and work until the early hours of morning Occasionally his band would record music pieces during the day and try to get Dylan to listen to them. • The Minnesota Historical Society lists 97 Dylan items in its reference library. Included are a 1987 Ph.D. thesis by a Purdue University student, five fanzines, 17 books and articles published in Germany, one children’s book and Dylan’s original, hand-written lyric sheet for “Temporary Like Achilles,” a 1966 song on the album “Blonde on Blonde.” The most interesting title in the society’s collection is “Mysteriously Saved: An Astrological Investigation into Bob Dylan’s Conversion to American Fundamentalism,” by John Ledbury.

THE “BEAR” ESSENTIALS Although there are only eight living species of bear, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe and Asia. • Since prehistoric times, bears have been hunted for their meat and fur. To this day, they play a prominent role in the arts, mythology and other cultural aspects of various human societies. • The eight species of bears are: Malayan Sun Bear, Sloth Bear, Spectacled Bear, American Black Bear, Brown Bear or Grizzly Bear, Polar Bear, Asiatic Black Bear and Panda Bears. • The collective name for a group of bears is a sleuth or sloth, but with the exceptions of courting individuals and mothers with their young, bears are typically solitary animals. They are generally active during the day (diurnal), but may be active during the night (nocturnal) or twilight (crepuscular), particularly around humans. • Bears have an excellent sense of smell, and despite their heavy build and awkward gait, they can run quickly and are adept climbers and swimmers. • Black bears are particularly good tree climbers as well as swimmers. And they are pretty good runners, at up to 30 miles per hour. • Bears use shelters such as caves and burrows as their dens, which are occupied by most species during the winter for a long period of sleep, some up to three to five months. This period is often called hibernation but is not true hibernation. Today, scientists prefer to call bears’ winter nap “denning.”

• Panda bears weigh about 250 pounds. The average lifespan of a panda bear is 20 to 30 years. Curiously, they do not sleep during the winter as other bear species do. The panda was actually not officially considered a bear until 1995. • The giant panda is universally loved, but this peaceful animal faces many dangers. Its population is small and isolated, as its traditional forest habitat in southwest China’s mountainous areas becomes more fragmented. The government has set up more than 30 reserves, but habitat destruction and poaching continue to pose a threat. • The size of bears varies, according to species. They can reach a height of 6and-a-half-feet tall; they can weigh 600 pounds or more. • The grizzly bear is not endangered, but it is a threatened species. The grizzly bear, on average, weighs between 300 to 800 pounds. Some, of course, are larger than that. • The polar bear is the largest land carnivore in the world. The average adult male weighs between 850 to 900 pounds (380 to 400 kilograms). • The sloth bear has long shaggy hair and weighs an average of 120 to 310 pounds (54 to 141 kilograms). • The diet of bears varies according to their habitat and can consist of meat and plants. • Male bears are referred to as boars or he-bears. A female is called a sow or she-bear. Their offspring, or a baby bear, is called a cub. • The average size of a litter of cubs is four. Bears tend to mark their territory by clawing, biting and rubbing trees.

“Head to Tail Wellness: Western Veterinary Medicine Meets Eastern Wisdom” by Stacy Fuchino, V.M.D. Alternative medicine has gotten sidewise looks in the past from vets and owners alike. It’s fine to go to an acupuncturist yourself, but what good does it do for a dog or cat? Dr. Stacy Fuchino, who has augmented his degree in veterinary medicine with studies in Eastern medicine and Feng Shui, argues that it does a world of good. He presents case studies from his own practice of pets with chronic illnesses that improved following treatment with a combination of Western medical treatment and Eastern practices. “Cat-echisms: Fundamentals of Feline Faith” by Ellis Weiner & Barbara Davilman This is a fine example of the pet-persona genre, which many cat lovers probably will find endearing. “Cat-echisms,” as the title suggests, bases its style on the Catholic method of outlining fundamental beliefs and principles through a question-and-answer series. This is a small book, short enough to read in one sitting or just to leave on your coffee table. “Stay” by Allie Larkin Finally, a bit of fiction to chew on. “Stay” takes a fur-laden twist when our heroine, Savannah, impulsively buys a puppy off the Internet. (I won’t go into all the reasons why Internet pet sales are wrong, but the author does take pains to point out many of them.) If you’ve ever owned a big dog, you’ll immediately identify with Joe and Savannah’s first day together. The slobbery wake-up call. The harrying first walk with an excited canine. The big pile of poo on the carpet. Yes, it’s not your typical romance novel. But it’s definitely worth a read. Compassionate, Caring & Professional Veterinary Medicine

Personally I can’t grow weeds, but I understand the desire to grow a gorgeous garden, a flower bed that makes your front yard shine or herbs to use in your favorite recipe. I understand the relaxing nature of gardening and the connection to nature it offers, what I don’t understand is the way we garden in south Florida. We buy flowers and plants at big wholesale places, dump chemicals in the ground to keep away the local bugs with chemicals. This may not be the way that you garden but stand in the gardening section of any big home improvement or chain store for an hour and you will see what I mean. First of all gardening is the greenest past time you can have, from growing your own herbs, to attracting butterflies, to serving tomatoes you grew in your yard, this is the base of truly going green. Yet there are things you can do to make gardening even greener.

to keep out debris you can create a reusable water system that will last you all year. Instructions on how to build one can be found all over the web and making them a beautiful centerpiece of your garden can be fun and creative. Fertilizing Your Garden: While there are several all natural fertilizers on the market, there are a lot of great fertilizers that can be added to the garden or composted in your home. The bits of vegetables, meat and fish you cut away before cooking are great to enrich soil. If you lack the room or time to create a true composter to break down lawn cuttings, leaves and other waste, doesn’t mean you lack the resources to fertilize your garden with household items. Planting Your Garden: Before you go to the retail stores to buy plants or seeds, ask friends and family members who have gardens to offer seeds or clippings. It saves plastic, creates less garbage and gives you a great social opportunity.
Watering Your Garden: How do you water your garden? Using the hose of filling a bucket from the sink utilizes city water and water is a commodity.
