TIDBITS® VISITS AMUSEMENT PARKS
by Janet Spencer Come along with us as we visit our favorite resorts and amusement parks! A BEACH RESORT • As the County Director in New Jersey, Dr. Jonathan Pitney thought that Absecon Island off the coast of New Jersey would make a good health resort. In 1852 area businessmen agreed, and an engineer designed the resort. • Pitney named the streets: the roads running parallel to the sea were named after bodies of water, and the streets running east to west were named after states. (The street names were later used to name the properties in the game Monopoly.) Pitney convinced the railroad to run trains to the area, and in 1854 the first trainloads of tourists arrived. Thousands of people flocked to the beach, and hotels, restaurants, amusements, and theaters popped up. • Alexander Boardman was a conductor on the railroad who got sick of sweeping sand out of his train and knew that the hotels were tired of sand in their carpets. He convinced city leaders to build a raised sidewalk. This boardwalk was constructed in 1870 and was 8 feet wide and a mile long, linking businesses to the beaches, the first such walkway in the world. Shops, restaurants, and hotels were located on one side and amusements were located on the other side.

A BEACH RESORT (cont) • When air travel became cheap, business dropped off and the resort entered a period of depression. The slump lifted in 1976 when gambling was legalized, and the first casino opened in 1978. By 1990 the city was hosting 30 million visitors a year, and the boardwalk is now six miles long and 60 feet wide. What’s the name of the city? Answer: Atlantic City. RABBIT ISLAND • At the southwest end of Long Island, New York, there was a wonderful sandy beach. It was five miles long and it ran from east to west. There were many rabbits living in the area, so the place was named after the Dutch word for rabbit, “konijn.” Because it was such a lovely beach and so close to New York City, it became a popular destination in the 1800s. A hotel was built in 1829 which attracted many famous people. People built concession stands to serve people walking on the beach, bath houses were constructed, and games and amusements were next, followed by souvenir stands, beer gardens, and arcades. By the end of the Civil War, it was becoming a major resort. • In 1875 the railroad arrived, bringing a million visitors to the beach that year alone. Two million came the next year. Restaurants were built that could feed 15,000 people at a time and hotels there could put up 20,000 tourists nightly. In the 1920s the subway was extended. Visitors could ride out to the beach for a nickel, buy a hot dog for a nickel, take a spin on the rides for a nickel, and play the games for a nickel. By the 1930s it wasn’t unusual to find a million people enjoying a day off here. And today they still flock there. It is not an amusement park as much as it’s a collection of amusements. What’s it called? Answer: Coney Island.
• * Fruit math: A tomato or an apple plus green bananas in a paper bag equals ripe bananas. • Empty tissue boxes have so many uses. Try lining one with a plastic grocery bag and keeping it in your car for stray trash. Or you can use it to corral all of those plastic grocery bags until you need them -- just stuff them in one at a time. Lastly, and probably my favorite: Cut out doors and windows to use as houses for kids’ toys. Imagination makes the possibilities endless. -- JoAnn • “Jazz up your pancakes by adding pureed frozen blueberries or strawberries. It turns the mix either blue or red, and it’s fun for the kiddos.” -- V.R. in Florida • “We are always prompted to choose strong passwords, but a random collection of letters, numbers and special symbols can be hard to remember. I make a strong password by using a coded phrase, like “My three boys are No. 1,” which might be “MY3boysR#1.” Just thought I’d share my trick, but not my password!” -- R.W. in Iowa • Keep a bottle of club soda handy for spot stains on carpets or upholstery. It’s good for more than just drinks. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #8 Feb 22nd 2021 A NEW BERRY • Rudolf was the superintendent of parks in Anaheim, California and in his spare time he experimented with hybridizing three kinds of berries: red raspberry, blackberry, and loganberry. The plants didn’t do well in the farm fields behind his house, so he gave up and eventually sold the farm and left the plants behind. • A few miles away in Buena Park, Walter was growing berries with phenomenal success and selling them at his roadside berry stand. In 1932 George Darrow of the USDA heard reports of Rudolf’s experiments and contacted Walter. Together they visited Rudolf and went out to his old farm. There they found a few frail hybrid berry plants struggling to survive in a weed-choked field. Walter dug them up, took them home, and nursed them back to health, naming them after Rudolf. The berries thrived, and he named the new hybrid after Rudolf’s last name. By 1935 he was selling them at his berry stand and his wife Cordelia used them to make jams and preserves. • Business boomed. Cordelia worried that the people standing in line might be hungry, so she opened a restaurant featuring berry pie. Walter worried the people waiting in line might get bored, so he started adding amusements and attractions, and it just kept growing. It was California’s very first amusement park. They named the attraction after their last name. Answers: Boysenberry, named for Rudolf Boysen, and Knott’s Berry Farm for Walter and Cornelia Knott.

It opened in 1955, covering 160 acres outside Anaheim, California. Today it has expanded to 510 acres. • Walt Disney had trouble finding a bank that would finance the park, so instead he turned to ABC, who got the rights to produce a weekly Disney TV program as well as a share of the park’s profits. • Walt Disney loved spending time with his park guests so much that he would often wait in line with them in the park. He had his own secret apartment above the fire department on Main Street. The apartment is still there today, and the light in the window symbolizes his continuing presence. • When Disneyland’s monorail opened for the first time on June 14, 1959, it was the first daily operating monorail system in the Western hemisphere. • Michelle Pfeiffer played Alice in Wonderland in the park, Steve Martin was a magician there, and Kevin Costner was a Jungle Cruise skipper. • Disneyland employees use a variety of shorthand terms to communicate, such as “code V” for vomit, “code U” for urine, and “code H” for horse poop. • There’s a secret message aired at the New Orleans Square train station. If you listen carefully while waiting for your ride on the iconic Disneyland railway, you can hear the tap-taptap of Morse Code. The little telegraph office across the tracks is transmitting the first two sentences of Walt Disney’s opening day speech: “To all who come to Disneyland, welcome. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future.” • Today more than 18 million people visit the park each year.

By Lucie Winborne • -A team of Japanese scientists and engineers created a fire alarm for the deaf that works by spraying vaporized wasabi into the air -- it will even wake them up if they’re sleeping. • Bees can fly higher than Mount Everest. • In 1960, during a period of high tensions between Havana and Washington, a Cuban cow got hit by a chunk of a falling U.S. satellite.

STRESS: A WEIGHTY MATTER
There is a very strong correlation between stress and weight gain. Since we all have stress in our lives, how can we ever lose weight then? Understanding the mechanisms of how stress contributes to weight gain help us use some tools to help lessen the adverse effects of stress on our waistline. Stress is interpreted by the body as a “fight or flight” response. Geared from thousands of years of the need to avoid aggressive animals in nature, when danger approaches, the fight or flight mechanism kicks in. Stress is a lower grade, chronic fight or flight response, that in some ways is worse than the short-term intense shot of cortisol and adrenaline (two hormones released as part of that mechanism). Several things happen in fight or flight: digestion powers down, way down, because it isn’t needed to fight or flee. Blood sugar raises to provide more energy to fight or for endurance and muscle food when running. Cortisol is released as part of this mechanism. Cortisol tells the body to increase body fat, particularly belly fat. Cortisol increases cravings for sweets and sometimes also salt and fats. During stress, usually because of cortisol, sleep deteriorates. Some of the fat burn occurs during sleep. The less you sleep, the less fat you burn.
One study says about 104 calories per night less. Not much, really, until you add it up day and night. On average, that amounts to about 11 pounds weight gain per year. When stressed, people tend to reach for easy foods – snacks, fast food, easy-to-prepare foods and consumables that just make you feel good, even if it is only temporary. Chronic stress also increases the appetite, so you eat even more junk foods and larger portions at every meal. When stressed, especially when there is much to do, people tend to skip meals, not wanting to take the time. Skipping meals can lead to the body’s interpretation of that as a time of famine, lowering the metabolism in response. Skipping meals is rarely a good idea, especially when stressed. During times of stress, the diet should be super good. Providing the nutrients necessary helps the body cope with stress better, which means that the emotional aspects are more balanced, and fewer bad habits get developed. Consume foods rich in nutrients like quality meats, vegetables, fruits and small amounts of whole mgrains. Water in sufficient amounts is essential in increasing metabolism, reducing cravings (many sweet cravings are actually thirst), and helping the brain. When stressed, many forget to take the time to exercise, furthering the widening waistline. While there are many things you can do to help with weight issues, getting stress under control is a great start.

Internet Access for Veterans
Fifteen percent of veterans do not have an internet connection, limiting their access to Department of Veterans Affairs video telehealth services. But no longer. The VA’s new Digital Divide Consult has geared up to help over 12,000 eligible veterans so far. If you’re a veteran living in a rural area, have limited broadband service, don’t have a device with video, have a serious medical condition or are in temporary housing, you can get help with internet access and devices. But there’s more: If you’re part of a HUD-VA program, you can receive a smartphone to reach telehealth. If you use TracFone SafeLink, T-Mobile (was Sprint) or Verizon, you can hook up with VA Video Connect health care without incurring data charges on your bill. Go to mobile.va.gov/ app/va-video-connect for details. The VA will even do a test call before your visit to check your connection. If you’re in a rural area or don’t have broadband at home, the VA has coordinated with various groups and businesses to create locations for you to use for talking privately to your health care providers. The American Legion, VFW and certain Walmarts are part of the Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations (ATLAS) program. Go to connectedcare.va.gov/partners/ atlas for locations near you. The Microsoft Airband Initiative is charged with creating broadband (high speed) in rural areas. Look at microsoft.com/corporate-responsibility/ airband. (While you’re there, check into the Microsoft Software & Systems Academy, 18 weeks of training for high-paying jobs.) Additionally, you could be eligible for the FCC’s Lifeline program, which subsidizes broadband and phone service for low-income veterans and veterans who get the following: Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, pension and survivors benefits, and more. Check lifelinesupport.org or call 800-2349473. Get started by contacting a VA social worker, who will have all the details and can determine your eligibility. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

There are a lot of happy hearts out there after February 14th. After all, it’s one of the most popular days for popping the question, and millions of couples worldwide get engaged on Valentine’s Day. And so, Feb. 15 begins the event planning season for many brides and grooms to be. Need inspiration? Look no further than the following films: “Four Weddings and a Funeral” -- The British charmer that launched the career of Hugh Grant (himself a British charmer), this untarnished gem features a group of 20- to 30-something friends attending the weddings of friends, looking for love, sometimes finding it and always being humbled by its power. The weddings include a Scottish castle affair, and the funeral will tear the heartstrings from your body. “Crazy Rich Asians” -- This all-out fantasy romcom features a regular gal, Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), whose seemingly normal longtime boyfriend takes her East to his best friend’s wedding -- and to meet his family. The boyfriend is considerate, elegant and, well, crazy rich. Fierce backstabbing females and handsome playboys flank a disapproving mother all set in a backdrop of elaborate ostentatiousness! “Muriel’s Wedding” -- Muriel (Toni Collette) just wants to get married. But she’s hindered by an overbearing dad and so much awkwardness. But when she makes friends with a kindred spirit, they move to the big city to live their dream -- but will those wedding bells make her heart ring? “Father of the Bride” -- Steve Martin plays George Banks, a shoe manufacturer whose daughter, Annie (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) is getting married. Simple story, but so sweetly delivered. From Annie’s engagement to an overthe-top wedding planner, a mild midlife crisis and more, George learns to let go of his little girl. “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” -- At 30, Toula worries she’s missing her window. She works at her family’s restaurant, the Dancing Zorba, and not much else. But as she begins to break out of her shell, she meets a man and falls in love: He’s not Greek. The resulting journey of Toula’s family accepting him and eventually embracing him is pure comedy gold. “Bride Wars” -- Two best friends (played by Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway) share a common dream: to be married at New York’s Plaza Hotel. Who could have guessed that they’d get engaged at just the same moment? The bigger problem is that there’s only one opening! Who will get the day? (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On March 5, 1770, a mob of American colonists gathers at the Customs House in Boston and begins taunting the British soldiers guarding the building. The protesters, who called themselves Patriots, were protesting the occupation of their city by British troops. • On March 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs a bill creating the Freedman’s Bureau.

“Dementia Behaviors: Expert Tips for Understanding and Coping” By Matilda Charles
Another COVID Scam
You know it’s getting bad when local police chiefs go on the nightly news to warn against scams. That’s what is happening in my area, and possibly in yours. Scammers are going all out to steal your information, money and identity, and they’re using the COVID vaccine as their tool. A few weeks ago, the scammers’ tactic was to claim we were eligible for a special COVID Medicare card. The card doesn’t exist. So many of us might have said that in response to the frequent phone calls that the scammers changed tactics. Now they claim to have an appointment for you to get the COVID vaccine. Here’s how it works: A scammer will claim to be calling from your doctor’s office, without actually naming the doctor. All they need from you, they say, is your Medicare card number and possibly your bank account or Social Security number “for identification.” Your best bet is to just hang up. But if you ask for the name of the doctor, they won’t know it. It’s the same with hospitals and clinics. If you’re not sure whether the call is fake, hang up and call your doctor, the hospital or clinic, and ask if they’ve tried to contact you. Scammers also are using different tactics: telling you they can fit you into a quick appointment, saying they’re from Medicare or your insurance provider, sending you an email that indicates you can get a fast appointment reservation by calling their special phone number, or offering you the vaccine at a “reduced cost” (the vaccines are free). Some of them actually offer to mail the vaccine to you. Don’t fall for any of these scams. If you need help signing up online for an appointment, call your doctor’s office or the senior center. Don’t give scammers any information, not even your name. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
Merritt Whitley writes the following: Anger, confusion, and sadness are a few symptoms a person with dementia may experience regularly. Even though you know your loved one’s dementia behaviors are symptoms of a disease and not intentional, dealing with them is often emotionally and physically challenging. Learn more about typical dementia behaviors and expert tips for managing them. Common Dementia Behaviors: A person with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia may become irritable and even belligerent without being provoked. They may go in and out of confusion and disorientation or attempt to manipulate those around them. Here are examples of common dementia behaviors and phrases you may hear: Aggression: This behavior includes being mean, lashing out, or using combative statements such as “I don’t want to take a shower!” or “I don’t want to eat that!” Sometimes this type of anger may escalate to physical violence. Confusion: This could mean saying phrases like: • “I want to go home!” • “This isn’t my house.” • “When are we leaving?” • “Why are we here?” Paranoia and frequent mood swings also often result from a person with dementia feeling confused. Poor judgment: This can include unfounded accusations such as “You stole my vacuum cleaner!” Struggling to balance a checkbook or calculate a tip at a restaurant can also be the result of dementia. Other examples include hoarding, stockpiling, and repeating statements and tasks. Manipulation: This usually involves inventing truths to get what they want. A person with dementia may say things like “You told me I could drive to the store,” or use bargaining methods such as “If you let me drive to the store, I will take my medicine.” Managing dementia behaviors may be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Your words and actions have the power to quickly deescalate intense situations. Follow some expert do’s and don’ts for calmly and effectively dealing with these four common types of dementia behaviors: Aggression: “A lot of times, aggression is coming from pure fear,” says Tresa Mariotto, a social services supervisor in Bellingham, Washington, and certified trainer in dementia and mental health. “People with dementia are more apt to hit, kick, or bite in response to feeling helpless or afraid.” Do: The key to responding with care to aggression caused by dementia is to try to identify the cause. What is the person feeling to make them behave aggressively? • Are they in pain? • Is their mind just wandering? • Have they been triggered by something?... Don’t: “The worst thing you can do is engage in an argument or force the issue that’s creating the aggression,” Napoletan says. “Don’t try to forcibly restrain the person unless there is absolutely no choice.” How to manage repeated questions and confusion:
Page 13
Do: When your aging loved one is confused about where they are or what’s happening, try these tips from the American Psychological Association: • Communicate with simple explanations • Use photos and other tangible items to help explain situations • Remain calm and supportive, and don’t take their confusion personally • Use tools such as alarms, calendars, and todo lists to help them remember tasks Don’t: Lengthy explanations don’t work. “You have to figure out what’s going to make the person feel the safest,” says Mariotto. “Even if that ends up being a therapeutic lie…” How to help with poor judgment: The deterioration of brain cells caused by Alzheimer’s disease leads to poor judgment and errors in thinking. Some of these symptoms are obvious and apparent such as hoarding household items, accusing a family member of stealing, or forgetting how to do routine tasks. These tasks can include balancing a checkbook or paying bills on time… Do: A caregiver can often minimize frustration and embarrassment for dementia patients by: • Listening and offering subtle help • Working together to fix a problem • Simplifying a task or routine by breaking it down into smaller steps… Don’t: Blatantly questioning the person’s ability to take care of the situation at hand or arguing with them isn’t helpful. You may risk alienating them… How to deal with attempts at manipulation: Your loved one may have lost the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehoods, and they may no longer have a sense of morality around lying. These symptoms can be especially difficult for a caregiver to handle as it may feel like a complete change in personality. In fact, a person with dementia may not realize they’re lying… Do: • Separate the behavior from the person, and do not hold it against them • Set limits when possible, communicate expectations clearly, and work together to find a resolution when you’re able to • Remain aware of your own personal responses. Do you feel angry, hurt, or frustrated? If so, do you act on these emotions around your aging family member? Acting on these emotions can bring more distress to an already stressful situation Don’t: • Bring up events to prove or disprove statements • Use accusatory language such as “you’re lying” or “you’re being manipulative” • Engage in heated arguments Dealing with dementia behaviors can quickly wear out a caregiver or family member. If you care for a person with dementia and are feeling resentment, anxiety, or depression, don’t hesitate to seek help. A caregiver support group, counselor, friend, or family member can offer support and advice… The staff at The Lodge Assisted Living at Riverside Harbor Secure Facility in Post Falls is gifted with loving and caring for your loved when the time is right for them, and for their family.
