January 1st is National “Z” Day, whose purpose is to give recognition on the first day of the year to people and places whose name begins with the letter Z and are always listed or thought of last. Come along with Tidbits as we consider Z! Z FACTS • Z is the most rarely used letter in the English language. However, it’s more common in American English than it is in British English because Americans use word endings such as “-ize” instead of “-ise” (realize vs realise) and “-ization” instead of “-isation” (civilization vs civilisation). The American method of spelling is derived from Greek origins whereas the British spelling comes from the French language. • Why do Americans pronounce the letter as “zee” while Brits, Canadians, and others say “zed”? It harks back to the original Greek letter, “zeta” which came from the Old French “zede.” turn the page for more!

After Americans split from the British, a lot of language was re-formed as regional dialects gained a foothold. According to the Concise Oxford Companion, “The modification of zed to zee appears to have been by analogy with bee, dee, vee, etc.” Lye’s New Spelling Book (published in 1677) was the first to list “zee” as the “correct” pronunciation, and Webster followed suit in his dictionary of 1827. • During the Viet Nam war when young American men were defecting to Canada, they often betrayed their American origins when asked to recite the alphabet by border guards. “Zed” is the only letter of the alphabet that Canadians pronounce differently from Americans. Zink, Ziegler, Zeno, & Zarb etc. • Mr. T. M. Zink of Iowa died in 1930 and left his $100,000 fortune to fund a womanless library. He specified that his daughter should receive $5 and his widow a single penny. The rest of the fortune was to be held in trust for 75 years, until the year 2005 when Zink’s womanless library would be funded. Signs reading “No Women Admitted” were to be posted above the doors, and no books or art by women were to be allowed. Fortunately, Zink’s family successfully contested the will. • In 1974 the Doublespeak Award for outrageous language went to Ron Ziegler, who was Pres. Nixon’s press secretary. When asked whether a certain bunch of Watergate tapes was still intact— a question that could have been answered with ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘I don’t know’— Ziegler used a colossal 99 word sentence that left everybody scratching their heads. During Watergate, Zielger said, “If my answers sound confusing, I think they are confusing because the questions are confusing, and the situation is confusing and I’m not in a position to clarify it.” • Greek philosopher Zeno in the year 264 B.C. suffered a broken toe and decided this was God’s sign that he had lived long enough. He killed himself, dying at age 98. • Florenz Ziegfeld of the Ziegfeld Follies once offered Gracie Allen $750 a week to appear in a show in London. Gracie asked how much the pay would be if her husband, George Burns, appeared too. “Five hundred,” was the answer. (continued next page) Z People • The story goes that Greek painters Zeuxis and Parrhasius had a feud concerning who could produce the most realistic painting. Finally they agreed to a paint-off. Zeuxis painted a picture of a boy holding a bowl of grapes. It was so realistically done that birds came down to peck at the picture. Then Zeuxis asked Parrhasius to draw back the curtain covering the painting he had drawn. At this point Zeuxis realized that what he thought was a curtain covering a painting was actually a painting of a curtain covering a painting. Zeuxis had been able to fool the birds, but Parrhasius had been able to fool Zeuxis. • In 1975, Frank Zarb spent $25,000 and used 19,000 gallons (7,200 liters) of fuel flying around the U.S.

to lecture on the need to conserve energy. He used a plush Air Force jet that burned enough fuel in one hour to supply the average American driver with enough gasoline to drive for an entire year. • A computer programmer working for a large bank wrote instructions to the main frame in which it was directed to deduct the odd cents below ten cents from every current account at the end of each month and credit it to the last account on record. The programmer then opened an account for himself under the assumed name of Mr. Zyglit. Things went fine for six months. Then a Polish immigrant legitimately named Mr. Zyzov opened a new account. When he went to the bank to ask them why so much money was being deposited in his account, an investigation was launched and the programmer arrested. • In a Greek myth, Zeus wanted to have an affair, so he convinced the nymph named Echo to divert his wife’s attention by involving her in conversation. When his wife found out about it, she confiscated Echo’s ability to talk and sentenced her to forever repeat the last words of whatever she heard. A New Flower • In the 1700s a botanist was exploring Mexico, looking for new plants. When he found an interesting new flower, he gathered a sack full of the dried-out seed heads. Suddenly he was seized by bandits who thought his sack must be full of gold. When they opened it and found only a bunch of dead flowers, they were convinced he was an idiot, wandering through the desert with a bunch of dried plants. Because it was considered bad luck to murder the feeble minded, they let him go. • The flower seeds he was collecting were sent to Europe where they were cultivated. Later the flower was examined by another botanist named Johann, who was the director of the Botanic Garden of the University of Göttingen in Germany. He named the new flower after his last name, and they rapidly became a popular annual, cultivated in gardens worldwide. Johann died young, at the age of 32, but the flower spread quickly because they are easy to start from seed. A long-stemmed flower with a single head, they come in many colors, re-seed easily, and attract butterflies. Today it is one of the most popular bedding plants. Can you guess the name of the flower that Johann named after himself? Answer at the bottom of the page. Z Namesakes • Karl von Zois was an Austrian botanist in the 1700s. He is the namesake of the grass now called zoysia. Zoysia makes great lawns because it grows sideways along the ground instead of up, so it needs less mowing. It tolerates drought, so it needs less watering. • An entomologist who had just discovered a new species of moth was determined to have the final word. He invented a name for the insect that guaranteed it the final spot in every dictionary in the world: Zyzzyx. Answer: Johann Zinn named the zinnia. ■

For Advertising Call (248) 423-1765 An Ice Machine • Raised in Idaho, Frank headed to California to seek his fortune. A skilled mechanic, he designed refrigerator units to keep milk from local dairies cold. Then he provided railroads with block ice to keep produce fresh during shipping. By the 1930s, refrigeration technology was expanding, block ice was obsolete, and Frank needed a new line of work. He had all this refrigeration equipment on hand, so he decided to build an ice rink next to his ice plant. With 20,000 square feet of ice and room for 800 skaters, it was a hit. • But Frank dreaded resurfacing the ice. To smooth the ice, a tractor pulling a planer would drive across the ice. The planer scraped the ice; the shavings were swept up; water was sprayed, followed by a squeegee. Frank decided to design a machine to perform this tedious task. It took him ten years to come up with a functional model, which was completed in 1949. When renowned skater Sonja Henie saw it while practicing at his ice rink, she insisted on buying one to travel with her ice show. People everywhere were subsequently introduced to Frank’s invention, and ice rinks all over the country ordered their own. Frank wanted to name his firm the Paramount Engineering Company, but that name was taken, so he named it after his last name instead. By the time he died in 1988, his machines were being used all over the world. What’s it called?

Answer: Zamboni • In the early days of the Zamboni, the inability of tires to get adequate traction on the ice was problematic. Frank Zamboni solved the problem by having tire casings re-treated with a mixture of rubber and crushed walnut shells. In the mid1960s, the invention of steel-studded tires solved the problem for good. • Frank Zamboni also invented the “Grasshopper” (a machine to roll up artificial turf); the “Black Widow” (used to fill in dirt on top of cemetery vaults); the “Astro Zamboni” (designed to vacuum water from Astro-turf); and the “Vault Carrier” (built to lift and carry heavy cement burial vaults). • For his contributions to improving ice rinks, Frank J. Zamboni has been inducted into the U.S. Figure

Skating Hall of Fame, the World Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. Zany Zamboni Facts • Before Zambonis were invented, it took several men an hour to resurface an ice rink. • There are currently about 10,000 Zambonis in use around the world. • During the winter Olympic games in Salt Lake City in 2002, there were 20 Zambonis on hand. • A Zamboni travels an average of three miles (4.8 km) during each hockey game, covering about 2,000 miles (3,218 km) per year. • Road & Track magazine determined that the machine’s top speed was 9.7 mph (15.6 km/hr) and that the machine would go from 0 to ¼ mile per hour in 93.5 seconds flat. • In 2001, a Zamboni was driven from the east coast of Canada (St. John’s, Newfoundland) across to the West Coast (Victoria, B.C.). At about nine m.p.h. (14 km/hr), the 4,500 mile (7,242 km) journey took four months. • In 2000, the Zamboni was immortalized as an authentic Monopoly board game token in the NHL version of the game. • When a Zamboni machine operator in the Midwest passed away, his funeral procession was led by a Zamboni machine. ■

A Relaxing Start to the New Year I visited the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa for the first time recently with my college-age grandchild. It’s a luxurious resort in the Lost Pines Region of Bastrop County, Texas, in the midst of a large forest of Loblolly pines. The 491-room destination resort, located just 13 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, adjoins the 1,100-acre McKinney Roughs Nature Park and has 1 mile of river frontage on the Lower Colorado River. My grandchild composed her vacation itinerary by viewing the activity page on the Lost Pines website. It contains something for everyone, from outdoor activities to peaceful reflection by the river. She wanted to go fishing, take archery and skeet-shooting lessons, kayak, raft down the river, rock climb, ride horses and bikes, swim and float down the Crooked River Water Park, and visit the Spa Django for a facial, and a manicure and pedicure. I wanted to sample the food and talk to the chefs, get some recipe ideas (I’ll share those in an upcoming column devoted to all the fabulous food there), bask in the scenery and relax at the spa. We both got exactly what we were looking for in a “glamping” vacation -- a mix of luxury, outdoor activities and rustic relaxation. She loved everything she experienced and said it was “one of the best vacations ever!” That’s high praise from someone who has visited almost every major amusement park in the United States. We both loved our visit to the full-service Spa Django. There are 18 treatment rooms and some

50 different treatments, including a holidayspecial Buttered Rum Body Ritual and the Pecan Pie Manicure and Pedicure. Whether you seek motivation or inspiration, this sumptuous threestep body scrub composed of butter brulee milk, rum, brown sugar and rice bran, and a luxurious manicure and pedicure featuring a whole milk hand-and-foot soak scented with notes of creme brulee (!) definitely are something to sing about! To honor the turning of the calendar page, Lost Pines hosts its annual New Year’s Eve Family Jamboree, an inclusive vacation package for a family of four (two adults and two children under 12). Starting from $509, it includes accommodations, barbecue dinner, carnivalinspired games and rides, raffles, Ferris wheel, wagon rides, live music and a family dance, fireworks, champagne toast and a New Year’s Day breakfast buffet. Hyatt Lost Pines guests also will find recreation offerings for all ages and interests. In addition to hiking along the numerous trails, guests are encouraged to take advantage of activities offered at 1,100-acre McKinney Roughs Nature Park. It features summer camp programs for children, a ropes course, zip line and nature-learning center. McKinney Roughs also operates guided river rafting and kayaking excursions. It’s beautiful place year-round thanks to our Central Texas weather, but the pine trees and scenic river location make it the perfect spot to ring in the New Year, enjoy a family vacation, a girlfriends spa getaway, weddings, parties or business meetings. The Wolfdancer Golf Club features an 18-hole championship golf course. A large clubhouse is home to the Major Neighbors Grill, private dining room, pro shop and chief’s pavilion.

Antibiotic Treatment Helps Some With COPD By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

Dear Dr. Donohue: On the local news, they were talking to a doctor about using an antibiotic for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. The name of the drug is azithromycin. What do you know about this, and what is your opinion? --D.L. Answer: COPD encompasses two lung diseases, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema is destruction of the millions of tiny air sacs in the lungs. Through those structures oxygen passes into the blood, and carbon dioxide passes out of it. Severe shortness of breath on slight physical activity is the hallmark of emphysema. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the airways, the bronchi. Along with inflammation, the airways fill with thick mucus. A constant cough is the main sign of chronic bronchitis. Both conditions usually exist together. Azithromycin, the antibiotic you mentioned, has been suggested as a daily treatment at a reduced dose for those with COPD who have many flare-ups of their illness. A flare-up makes breathing exceedingly difficult and sometimes requires hospitalization to control. Flare-ups add to the destruction of normal lung tissue. Viruses

are often the cause. However, the inflamed and mucus-filled airways also are hosts to many bacteria, whose numbers rise during a flareup. They make a contribution to symptoms and lung destruction. Studies have shown that a daily administration of a rather small dose of azithromycin, 250 milligrams, decreases flare-ups of COPD. Other studies suggest that a three-day-a-week dose of azithromycin is equally effective. If you have frequent episodes where your COPD worsens, then talk to your doctor about the advisability of you going on this program. The medicine can be taken for a full year and longer. It’s an exciting breakthrough for those whose spells of COPD worsen. The booklet on COPD explains this common malady in detail. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 601W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: My daughter is 58 years old. For the past 10 years, she has heard her heart pulsating. It’s a loud and disturbing noise that she hears from time to time. She

has had an MRI and other heart-related tests. The results are normal. What is your opinion?-- E.G. Answer: Pulsatile tinnitus is ear noise, usually heard in one ear, that’s synchronous with the heartbeat. The noise can arise in the carotid arteries in the neck, arteries in the vicinity of the ear, malformed vessels in the head and neck or disturbed blood flow through veins of the head and neck. Impacted earwax is another cause. Your daughter has had many tests that should have uncovered blood vessel problems. I’m at a loss to suggest a cause of her tinnitus. If her hearing is not as acute as it was, that might be the problem. Has she seen an ear, nose and throat doctor? If not, she should. An ENT doctor would pick up on that. She might be able to tolerate tinnitus at night if she turns a bedside radio to soothing music. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Michigan Vehicle Buyers Expected Jim Montroy To Get A Tax Break Dear Varsity Lincoln: Is it true starting in December Michigan vehicle buyers will get a tax break? -Erica K. Livonia, MI Answer: Yes, it’s true! Michigan residents who trade in their vehicle for a new one will get a tax break under a deal struck between lawmakers and Governor Rick Synder. The Senate voted to phase out a requirement that buyers pay sales tax on the full price of a vehicle without subtracting the value of their trade-in. Starting in December, buyers would no longer pay the 6 percent sales tax on $2,000 or the value of their trade-in, whichever is less. We’re just as excited as you are at Varsity Lincoln that the state is giving back to consumers. If you’re in the market for a New or Pre-owned stop in Varsity Lincoln today. We sell all makes and models of Pre-owned vehicles and we have great year end specials on all New Lincolns.

▶ It might be hard to get motivated to exercise with winter’s shorter days and lower temperatures. Exercise is important to your health, so get it any way you can. Did you know that a half-hour snowball fight can burn 100 calories? Get out there and enjoy the winter weather! -- JoAnn ▶ If you face frequent snow in your area, invest in a pair of running shoes that are designed for trail running. They have deeper cleats for better traction. Some are even waterproof. This will encourage you to run when it’s been snowing! ▶ "To help your sneakers dry faster, remove the laces and sock liner and hang separately. Stuff them with newspaper to draw out moisture. Hang them to dry on a sturdy hook or line, but not too

close to a heater, as it’s possible to break down the support materials that way." -- E.D. in Minnesota ▶ “If you are outdoors on freezing days, you know to dress in layers. When you exercise outside, you do that too, but be prepared to strip off a layer if you get overheated.

Ask Your

Realtor Robert Curran

“

Dear Robert: What should I do during showings of my home?

”

-- Donna M. Commerce, MI

Answer: When your home is listed for sale, getting the call that an agent would like to show it can cause ambivalence. You’re excited someone is coming to look at the house, but now you have to get it SHOW READY! Moving experts have told us that if each member of the family has a “job” when the house is being shown, the process of getting the house ready works better for all. Some tips we give our sellers include: • The buyer’s first impression comes from the lawn and exterior • Keep garage closed; clean all pet debris; clean windows, doors, porches • Open all blinds and window treatments for natural light • Eliminate clutter; organize, straighten, rearrange • Clean baths and kitchen; fresh towels, tidy • Make all beds; thin out closets • Neutralize; gentle sounds and fresh baked cookies • Dehumidify the basement • Crate or pen pets Now…our very best advice about what to do during the showings…LEAVE! If you absolutely cannot leave the house, then go for a walk, go outside, but let the agent do his/her job and show your home in the best light! It’s just best to give them the opportunity to see the house without anyone present. We’d be happy to meet with you personally to answer all your questions!

Jenny

Dear Jenny: My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year and things are great except for one thing. She is a jealous person and is having a problem with my childhood friend of 20 years. Jessica (not her real name) and I have been close friends ever since growing up next door to each other. My girlfriend thinks phone conversations, emails, and lunch dates with another girl is cheating. I have no romantic interest in Jessica, but value her friendship. Is this cheating? -- Roger in Novi Dear Roger: Maybe, maybe not. I once read that anytime you mentally place yourself with someone other than your partner, you have cheated. Others, believe that as long as there is no sex, there is no cheating. I believe that there is no standard answer for every situation.

• It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who defined an egotist as “a person more interested by Samantha Weaver in himself than in me.” • If you could go back in time and sample a beer from the 1700s, you would find it to be significantly stronger than similar libations that are served today. The higher alcohol content helped the brew survive the long voyage from England to colonial India. • Those who study such things say that roughly half of American women remove hair from their bikini area. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as women age, they become less likely to keep up the shaving or waxing, with only 19 percent of women aged 50-plus doing so. In Brazil, though, the practice is far more widespread; there, 65 percent of women in the 50-plus age group reported bikini hair removal. • The average horse will produce 10 gallons of saliva every day. • Historians claim that President John Quincy Adams kept a pet alligator in a White House bathroom. He reportedly was amused when unsuspecting guests had to make a trip to the loo. • I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never heard the word “pilgarlic” -- it’s not a term you hear every day. Its literal meaning is “peeled garlic,” but colloquially it was once used to describe a bald-headed person. • In the U.S. in 1900, imported perfume was taxed at a higher rate than imported opium. • If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, you might want to go to the Sea Life Park on Oahu. There you can see a rare creature: the wolphin. This cross between a killer whale and a bottle-nosed dolphin also reportedly exists in the wild, but I imagine they’re a bit more difficult to find.

That being said, it can be difficult for even the most opened minded of us to watch someone we love connect with a member of the opposite sex. It is human nature to compete for our mate. You should take a step back and give an honest evaluation of your relationship with Jessica and how it looks from your girlfriend’s view. It can be hard to watch the camaraderie and inside jokes that a 20 year friendship of any kind can bring. Are you doing things that you may not be aware of that can trigger her jealousy? It could be that she is just a naturally possesive person and this friendship, no matter how innocent, will never be accepted by her. You may find yourself in a position of having to choose between a close friend and your girlfriend. Without knowing all involved, I can not help with any advice on which road you should choose. Follow your instincts, they are rarely wrong. Next month: Worst... neighbor... ever. Read about it in February’s column.

Stone of the Month Garnet by Puja Gupta

January ...the first month of the calendar.. January comes with the promise of new beginnings and oppurtunities. For me it comes with a somber start....but that story another time.... Let’s talk about Garnet... I want to start with a few lines that beautifully describe a sparkling gemstone..... By her, who is this month was born No gem save GARNETS shall be worn They will ensure her constancy True friendship and fidelity As the poem reflects,the Garnet is a symbol of purity, truth, faithfulness and friendship. For the longest time, garnets were used to cure blood disorders and heart disorders …..mainly because of the deep red color of the stone.

The word Garnet is derived from the Greek word “Granatum”...which means pomogranate seeds. Garnets are found in every hue from yellow green to deep reddish brown. A bright green color garnet is extremely rare and very valuable. They can be found in Sri Lanka, Africa, India, Uruguay, U.S. And Brazil. Garnet is not a soft gemstone and it can be worn pretty much every day. The best way to take care of Garnet jewelery is to wash it with mild soap and water. Simple.....

SeniorBits by Matilda Charles

Scammers Never Stop It’s one thing to read about the scams that are aimed at seniors -- and quite another to know someone who has been a victim. A good friend of mine recently learned that his very elderly mother had been giving money to scammers for a period of time. Needless to say, the whole family is in shock. How it began, no one is certain, but somehow scammers contacted his mother with enough of a sob story that she gave them money. Soon they called back, and yes, she gave

them more. Then the scammers apparently gave out her name and phone number, and very soon this elderly woman was being called day and night -- and giving money to multiple scammers. I imagine that she became fearful because of all the constant phone calls, and at some point she stopped answering the phone. Unable to reach her, one of her children called the police who went by on a welfare check. While the police were there, some of the scammers called. That’s when the whole story came out. By the time they were cut off, scammers had taken nearly $200,000 from this senior. The family will never get the money back and the scammers likely will never be found. It’s far too easy to become a victim of scammers who want your money. All you have to do is say “yes” one time. If you give them money just once, hoping they’ll go away, the opposite will happen, and you’ll be called more frequently and the pressure to give more will increase. Your name
