TIDBITS® KNOWS ALL ABOUT FAMOUS SISTERS
by Kathy Wolfe • Supermodel Gisele Bundchen grew up in southern Brazil along with her five sisters, including her twin Patricia. When Gisele and Patricia were 13, their mother enrolled the twins and another sister in a modeling course. Only Gisele attracted the attention of modeling agencies, and she began her career at age 14. Since that time, she has appeared on more than 1,200 magazine covers. Her net worth is estimated at $400 million, which does not include the income of her husband, NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Her sister Patricia remains a vital part of Gisele’s life, working as her twin’s manager and spokeswoman. • Natali Germanotta is an American fashion designer, a graduate of the Parsons School of Design. In 2018, she was busy working as a stylist on the set of the movie “A Star is Born.” Also active on the set was Natali’s sister Stefani, better known as Lady Gaga. As young girls, the sisters both attended a private all-girls Roman Catholic school, the Convent of the Sacred Heart on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. With six studio albums, Lady Gaga has won 11 Grammy Awards and has a net worth of $320 million.

SISTERS (continued): • The Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, were nineteenth-century English authors who penned what are viewed today as masterpieces. Charlotte was the author of “Jane Eyre” and three other novels, Emily wrote “Wuthering Heights,” her only novel, and Anne authored “Agnes Grey” and “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.” Since writing was considered a “man’s business, and not an appropriate vocation for ladies,” all three sisters originally published their work under male pseudonyms – Currer Bell for Charlotte, Ellis Bell for Emily, and Acton Bell for Anne. There were six children in the Bronte family, which seemed cursed with ill health. Two sisters perished from tuberculosis at age 10 and 11. Charlotte passed away at age 38, Emily at 30, and Anne at 29 years of age. The only son, Patrick, died at age 31. • The twin daughters of 43rd President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, Jenna and Barbara, both lead very busy lives. At age 26, Jenna wrote “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope,” describing the life of a 17-year-old Latin American mother who was born with HIV. A graduate of the University of Texas, Jenna, as an intern with UNICEF, worked with several charities in Latin America and South America before moving on to a career as editor-at-large at “Southern Living” magazine. Married with two children, Jenna is now a co-host on the “Today” Show. Her sister Barbara, a Yale University graduate, is the founder of Global Health Corps, a non-profit health-focused organization, and is married to a screenwriter. The sisters have written three books together, including 2017’s “Sisters First: Stories from Our Wild and Wonderful Life.”
NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson • Here’s a great tip when making creme brulee: Make sure you use a wide, shallow dish. The size is important, because if it’s too deep, the center won’t set, and if it’s too small you won’t get that great cracking top! • “Have long nails? Stuff a piece of a cotton ball in the fingertip of your gloves to keep your nail from piercing the gloves. Just a tip for staying safe and germ-free.” -- I.R. in Georgia • If you have a screw that is stuck, try giving it a blast with a hair dryer. The heat can sometimes help to loosen it up. • Beginning sewers can practice on a piece of Styrofoam from a meat tray (clean) or a takeout container. You can find large plastic needles at a craft store. • “If you want to remove fat from your broth, simply set a bowl filled with the broth in the fridge for a few hours. As the liquid cools, the fat will separate to the top and harden, making it easy to scrape off.” -- W.L. in Minnesota • “To whiten my yellowed tablecloth and napkins, I sliced several lemons and put them in a big pot of boiling water. I removed the water from the stove and soaked the cloths. After the water cooled, I rinsed them and hung them to dry in the sun. They are like new.” -- A.C. in Missouri Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc. •
TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #32 Aug. 3rd 2020 SISTERS (continued): • Amidst gently floating bubbles and between Geritol and Aqua Velva commercials, the four Lennon sisters, Dianne, Janet, Peggy, and Kathy crooned syrupy ballads to the audience of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” With their matching chiffon dresses and stiff bouffant hairdos, the California-born sisters appeared with the Champagne Music Makers from 1955 until 1967. The girls got their lucky break when Welk’s son began dating Dianne and informed his father of the girls’ potential. • The daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney is a fashion designer who operates 17 stores around the world, including Manhattan, London, Paris, Rome, and Los Angeles. Her lesser-known sister Mary is a free-lance photographer, a cookbook author, and a guest chef on the Food Network channel. Both sisters are active in a charity foundation dedicated to the breast cancer cause, a disease that took the life of their mother Linda. • The world’s two best female tennis players, Venus and Serena Williams were coached by their parents from an early age. Between the two of them, they have captured 12 Wimbledon singles titles. Both women have won four gold medals at the Summer Olympics, the most of any tennis players. Both turned professional at age 14. • The way was paved for African-American women in the world of tennis by two other sisters, Margaret and Matilda Peters, affectionately called Pete and Repeat. These Washington D.C. sisters were recruited to play tennis at Tuskegee University, where they graduated in 1941. The pair played in the American Tennis Association, a league that was formed to give African-Americans a chance to play competitive tennis at a national level. Between 1938 and 1953, they nabbed 14 doubles titles in the league.

® of Idaho TIDBITS of Kootenai Issue #32 Aug. 3rd 2020 TidbitsCounty, Dallas County SISTERS (continued): • Two Polish sisters Stefania and Helena Podgorska were true heroes. Stefania, age 17, and her 7-year-old sister were living alone after their mother and brother, although Catholic, had been taken to Germany to a labor camp, and their father had died. Stefania worked at a local grocery store owned by the Diamants, a Jewish family. When the two Diamant brothers, having escaped from the train on their way to an extermination camp, arrived on the Podgorska doorstep, Stefania took them in, along with 11 others, including a local dentist and his family members. She worked at a factory, using her wages to keep them all fed, as well as knitting sweaters to sell. The situation grew tense when an SS officer moved next door. The 13 Jews lived undetected in the attic of a two-room cottage for 2 ½ years until liberated by the Soviet Army in 1944. All 13 survived the Holocaust. The elder Diamant brother proposed marriage to Stefania, and the couple moved to America, where he became a dentist. Helena remained in Poland and became a physician. • Thousands of U.S. troops were entertained during World War II by the Andrews Sisters, Laverne, Maxene, and Patti. Their distinctive Dixieland swing style of music included such hits as “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” They got their start in 1930 when the youngest sister was 12 and the oldest was 19 by winning a local talent contest at Minneapolis’ Orpheum Theater. The oldest sister, LaVerne, played the piano accompaniment there for silent film showings, trading this service for free dancing lessons for herself and her sisters. These “Wartime Sweethearts” had more than 1,800 recorded songs to their credit as well as appearances in 16 movies.

By Lucie Winborne • There is symbolism in Disney’s Cinderella mosaic. The company says that “guests can see that each of Cinderella’s stepsisters appears with her own special facial tint. One sister displays a red tint to show that she is ‘red with rage,’ while the other sister displays a green tint to show that she is ‘green with envy,’ as they watch Cinderella try on the glass slipper to reveal a perfect fit.” • Eating more candy in one sitting causes fewer cavities than spacing it out through the day. • “The Hound of Heaven” poet Francis Thompson is listed as a Jack the Ripper suspect. Although there is no physical evidence to back up this bizarre claim, independent researchers say the imagery in Thompson’s poetry, plus his background as a medical student, are valid grounds for suspicion! • Sorry, but that cream filling in Twinkies isn’t cream at all -- it’s vegetable shortening. • Due to heat expansion of its iron, the Eiffel Tower can “grow” by up to 6 inches in the summertime. • Need one more reason to hate Mondays? Scientists have found that even if you maintain a steady weight, you’ll weigh the most on that day of the week. • Only a quarter of the Sahara Desert is sandy. • High heels came into circulation in roughly 10 B.C. They were worn by men of the Persian Cavalry not as a fashion statement, but to help their boots stay in their stirrups while riding horses. • In the 18th century, King George I of England declared pigeon poop to be the property of the Crown because it could be used to make gunpowder.

BRAIN FOG – BRAIN SMOG
Brain fog is an increasing concern for many people. Definitions for brain fog vary a bit, but for the most part it includes the following: mental cloudiness, feeling like a veil is over the brain, forgetfulness, being easily distracted or difficulty concentrating, mild confusion, sometimes you have to stop for your brain to “engage”, easily overwhelmed, getting lost easily, forgetting where you put things, difficulty following directions or following a line of thought, temporary disorientation, etc. It is common with certain illnesses, such as “fibro-fog” associated with fibromyalgia. It is also associated with several classes of medications, with insomnia or sleep deprivation for any reason, auto-immune diseases and many more. The gist of it is that your brain feels like it is cloudy. This is different from dementia which several of the above symptoms can also be associated with. Sometimes for fun I like to refer to it as brain “smog”, because it can be caused by junk in the diet.“Smog” is fog plus pollutants in the air. In the case of “brain smog” it is fog brought on by pollutants in the diet. The good news is that just as a good strong wind and environmental consciousness can reduce smog in the air, a good detox and conscious awareness of what you are ingesting can help clear up your mental fog. Sugar, caffeine, preservatives, food colorings, alcohol, additives in many forms, poor dietary fats, artificial sweeteners, and inflammatory foods have all been blamed. The remedy?
I know this will surprise you, but…. Consuming healthy fats, eliminating alcohol, sugar, caffeine and all the above triggers can help immensely. But that is not all. Sleep is a big change that you can make to help. Most people need about 7-9 hours of sleep if they are experiencing mental fogginess. Kids need even more. The best sleep occurs between 10pm and 2 am. So, to be asleep during those hours is particularly helpful. The adage “1 hour of sleep before midnight is the equivalent to 2 hours after midnight” particularly applies here. Dehydration can be a key in alleviating feelings of fogginess. For most people, drinking half your body weight in ounces (never to exceed 100 oz) is the ideal amount of water. There are some exceptions as with kidney disease, but this is a general rule. Allergies and chronic inflammation can contribute to brain fogginess. The “smog” of histamines as part of the allergic mechanism and the byproducts of the inflammatory process are to blame in many instances. Taking action to heal, not just suppress, the causes of these conditions can help in reducing “the fog”. Avoiding inflammatory foods (which vary from person to person), is helpful. For many, these include gluten/wheat, soy, pasteurized dairy products, nuts, eggs, and certain seafoods.Don’t just eliminate these from your diet without testing first, as several of these – in particular, nuts, eggs and seafood – can be helpful in eliminating mental fatigue or fog.

Scam Pharmacist Sentenced
Most of us are locked down due to the coronavirus, but apparently the wheels of justice keep on turning. A few months ago I wrote about a Houston pharmacist, his wife and their pal who scammed the government out of $21 million in fake pharmacy orders. The guy and his wife have now been sentenced. Their scam was to whip up medicinal creams and gels that they would mail to injured state and federal employees, then send the bill to the government after their pal created fake prescriptions. The Feds got them for a laundry list of charges, including conspiracy to commit health care fraud, conspiracy to pay and receive kickbacks, 11 counts of health care fraud and three counts of wire fraud dating back to 2009. Many government departments were involved, including the Department of Veterans Affairs. The pharmacist, age 75, won’t see daylight again for 10 years, and he has to pay back $12 million in cash and forfeiture. The wife, however, is somehow getting off light. She’s 68 and has to pay back pay $950,000 in restitution and forfeiture, but will serve a mere 30 days in home confinement. How does that work, one wonders. Due to the pandemic, nobody is going out. Thirty days at home doesn’t seem like much punishment since we’re all doing it anyway. She pleaded guilty to one charge. Does that play into it, that she admitted her role? And did he get 10 years because he argued against the charges and tried to pass off the medications he was sending out as marketing materials. Then again, maybe her portion of the “forfeiture” had to do with giving up that (very) upscale house in Houston. Their accomplice is still on the lam. Anoop Kumar Chaturvedi, age 48, is a legal permanent resident from India. The government wants to find him. If you know where he is, call the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Post Office at 1-888-877-7644. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

PHOTO: Scene from “Cool Runnings” Photo Credit: Walt Disney Pictures For fans of athletic competition, there’s nothing better than the Olympic Games. While Tokyo 2020 may have been a bust, with the Summer Olympics put off until next year, there’s no reason you can’t go for the gold right from your couch by living vicariously through any of the following movies. Whether it’s a good love story, a true underdog tale or just a plain old-fashioned marvel of human accomplishment, here are a few Olympic-themed gems to sate your summer sporting thirst. “I Am Bolt” (PG) -- Streaming on Netflix, get up close and personal with the world’s fastest man. Directors Benjamin and Gabe Turner use archival footage and interviews to showcase the personable Jamaican sprinter. “Race” (PG-13) -- Stephan James stars as powerhouse track and field legend Jesse Owens, an American hero pitted against the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics. “Chariots of Fire” (PG) -- The classic 1981 tale of two runners who aim to compete at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. It’s heavy on dedication and desire, and backed by an unforgettable score. “The Cutting Edge” (PG) -- A hockey star whose minor injury shuts him out of competitive play (D.B. Sweeney) is paired with a spoiled ice dancer (Moira Kelley) who has an ego bigger than an ice rink. Will the pair win a gold or just each other’s hearts? “Cool Runnings” (PG) -- John Candy plays a dishonored gold medalist who is lured into training a Jamaican bobsled team -- populated with a crew who have never even seen snow! “Miracle” (PG) -- Kurt Russell as Herb Brooks, the coach of the underdog U.S. Hockey Team that went up against the Cold War Soviet Machine and WON. If this movie doesn’t have you chanting “USA,” I don’t know what will. “I, Tonya” (R) -- This one is strictly for the grown-ups. In a brilliant black comedy, Margot Robbie plays the bad girl you love to hate, Tonya Harding -- a groundbreaking figure skater whose career was marred after her boyfriend attacked rival Nancy Kerrigan.

It’s OK to Just Go Home
Staying safe nowadays comes in many forms. It’s not just keeping our distance from others or carrying tiny bottles of hand sanitizer. Now staying safe also can mean avoiding the new routines we’ve felt comfortable putting in place. Because things had started to calm down around here, at least somewhat, I’d started venturing to the grocery store late at night. Few people were in the store, allowing me to zip through the aisles, grab a few things and get out. Now, unfortunately, I’m going back to curbside delivery. The manager has told me about the multiple threats of weapons and violence that came about from people who were asked to wear a mask in the store. Basically, they threw an immature (and dangerous) fit. In one case, a gun was drawn at the front door. So, we need to be flexible. Things are changing on a daily basis. Back to the online ordering I go. Not ideal, certainly. It means I can’t pick out my own groceries. It means being in my designated pick-up spot in front of the store at a specific time, even in a deluge of rain. How are you to know if your area is safe from the idiots who want to throw a tantrum over being asked to wear a mask? Start with the store manager. They owe you the truth. Make a call to the police non-emergency line and ask them if there have been any instances of threats of violence in town. Authorities in a number of states are rolling back portions of the re-opening they just recently allowed, locking down certain businesses again and adjusting the rules. Theaters, hair salons and more are subject to sudden changes. People will be unhappy. If you do go out to local businesses, be aware of your surroundings. Don’t be afraid to just turn around and go home.

Why do we do what we do!!? Simply put…because it makes a difference. But, here is the wonderful secret, it makes a difference in our residents’ lives, in their loved one’s lives, and, most especially, in our lives!! Conversations, calls, notes, cards, letters, like this one just received fill our cups of love to the brim! “Thank you for taking such good care of my husband... I am so glad he’s in such a nice safe place.” “According to the National Opinion Research Centre, 8 in 10 people reported their time caregiving as a positive experience. (National Opinion Research Center, “Long Term Care in America: Expectations and Reality,” ResearchHighlights (May 2014).) From gaining a greater sense of purpose to new life skills, it’s clear that the benefits of caregiving don’t just apply to the recipient, but also those who provide the care. Here are a few of the wonderful benefits caregivers often experience: Feeling Good – Caring for others provides benefits that most people often don’t experience… Feeling a Sense of Accomplishment - Taking care of someone else presents unique challenges and obstacles to overcome… Feeling loved and building strong Relationships – Caring for others helps to develop empathy and the ability to connect with people, even in difficult times… Feeling valued and experiencing personal growth – Caregivers gain a variety of skills from their experiences… While the task of caregiver presents many challenges, it’s clear that, with the right attitude, the benefits heavily outweigh any negatives. Caregiving presents a special opportunity to gain intangible benefits that last a lifetime… (HomeInstead Senior Care, www.caregiverStress.com ) Our note to our Lodge families…THANK YOU!!
