Tidbits is bringing you a short history lesson, testing your knowledge of wars throughout the ages. Let’s see what you know about several of the world’s conflicts. • The first shot of the Revolutionary War, America’s war of independence from Britain, rang out on April 19, 1775 in Lexington, Massachusetts, and has been called “the shot heard round the world.” The 13 American colonies were revolting against the many high taxes imposed by Britain without giving the colonies any representation in the British Parliament. Congress summoned George Washington from his home at Mount Vernon to be commander and chief of American forces. Washington would not return home for the next six years. • The Revolutionary War raged on for eight years, with France and Spain stepping in to aid the colonists. Spain’s motive in helping the colonists was to regain land it had lost to Britain. This caused the fighting to spread to Europe, the Caribbean, and East Indies, although most was done within the colonies. • The Declaration of Independence from Britain was signed early on in the war, on July 4, 1776. The first great American victory was the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, and was a turning point toward the colonists’ eventual triumph over Britain. • Nearly everyone has heard the phrase, “Do not fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” This was the order of Revolutionary War officer William Prescott at the Battle of Bunker Hill, as he urged his troops to be brave enough to hold their fire until the enemy was near. • The Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War was finally signed in 1783, when Great Britain acknowledged America’s independence. It also set the northern U.S./Canadian boundary and the Mississippi River as the western boundary. • Prior to the American Revolution, the British and French had struggled for ownership of North America for many years. Finally the conflict came to a head in 1756, with a dispute over control of the

Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers for commerce. It continued until 1763, earning it the name “The Seven Years’ War,” or more commonly, The French and Indian War. North American battles were fought from the state of Virginia clear up to Nova Scotia. France gained allies of the American Indians and Spain, spurring Britain to concentrate on seizing French and Spanish territories in other parts of the world. • How much do you really know about the War of 1812? That’s the year it began, of course, but it continued until December, 1814, when the Treaty of Ghent was signed. Great Britain’s prevention of U.S. trade with foreign countries was a leading factor in its cause, as well as Britain’s attempts to prevent westward U.S. expansion and to suppress any thoughts America had about annexing Canada. Britain was also forcing U.S. sailors to serve on British Navy ships and was supplying the Native Americans with guns. Most of the War of 1812’s battles took place along the U.S./Canada border, with a few occurring on the Great Lakes and Atlantic coast. The words to “The Star-Spangled Banner” were written during this war, as a 35-year-old lawyer named Francis Scott Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore. After a long night of brutal fighting, Key observed the flag still flying above the Fort. The 42 ft. x 30 ft. (12.8 m x 9.1 m) banner was the largest in the nation at that time. That flag is on display at the Smithsonian Institute today. • In August, 1814, British troops set fire to the White House in retaliation for the U.S. attack on the city of York, Ontario, Canada. President James Madison and his wife Dolley had already abandoned their home, fleeing to safety in Maryland, leaving behind all their personal belongings. Dolley was credited with saving a full-length portrait of George Washington before their escape.

• On the day after the British set fire to the White House, the Capitol, and other federal buildings, a tremendous storm and freak tornado hit Washington, D.C., putting out the fires. Oddly enough, debris from the tornado killed more British soldiers than were killed by Americans with their guns during the Washington fighting. The Madisons lived the remainder of his term in Washington, D.C.’s Octagon House. The reconstructed White House was not completed until 1817. • The well-known saying “Don’t give up the ship!” had its origins during the War of 1812. Captain James Lawrence of the U.S.S. Chesapeake shouted his last words as the ship was overtaken by the British ship HMS Shannon in 1813. Lawrence’s final words became the battle cry for sailors for generations to come. • The U.S. Civil War, the “War Between the States,” started in 1861, and by its conclusion in 1865 had left more 620,000 men dead, 2% of the country’s population, more than any other war in American history. Prior to its beginning, eleven states had left the Union and formed their own country in order to protect slavery. War raged for four years between the North and South, with more than three million fighting at some point. • The Union had the clear advantage from the start, with 101,000 factories, compared to the Confederacy’s 21,000, and 20,000 miles (32,187 km) of Union railroad tracks over the Confederacy’s 8,000 miles (12,875 km). The South’s wheat production of 35 million bushels couldn’t hope to match the 100 million bushels of the North. All the manufactured goods produced in all of the Confederate states totaled less than 25% of those produced in New York state alone. The Union horses numbered 3.4 million compared to the Confederacy’s 1.7 million.

Sleep Medications Linked to Falls DEAR DR. ROACH: You've discussed sleep aids and your belief that it is best to get off all of this type of medication. I am healthy, 75 (take no meds), exercise with weights, do swimming and running regularly, and since 2007 have been taking an over-the-counter sleep aid called doxylamine nightly with no apparent side effects. Do you see a problem with continuing? -- A.B. ANSWER: Unfortunately, I do see a problem. Odds are that you won't have a problem taking this medication; it's cheap and is effective for you. However, there is unequivocal, abundant, incontrovertible evidence that antihistamines like doxylamine or diphenhydramine increase fall risk. If you drive, they increase accident risk. They also can cause confusion. Although the benefit to you from quitting is small, if I can get enough people to minimize their sleep medications, I know I will prevent some falls. Falls are so often the first step in a progression from health to disability that I want to do all I can to prevent them. Adequate lighting in the house at nighttime, especially between the bedroom and bathroom, avoiding obstructions like area rugs and the addition of stairway railings and tub grab bars all help reduce fall risk. Exercise programs -- like the kind you are doing, but also tai chi -- are great at preventing falls. So is getting your eyes checked. No single one of these interventions can prevent all falls. All of them together will prevent many. Your medication list, even a simple over-the-counter sleeping aid, is the best place to start looking to reduce risk of falls. DEAR DR. ROACH: My dad has an extreme case of COPD and is on oxygen. He gets winded just walking across the
house. Dad lives in Montana; I live in Florida and would like him to come visit me during the cold Montana winters. I have heard that it would be easier for him to breathe at a lower altitude. But people have told him that if he comes to Florida, he would never be able to go back to Montana because he wouldn't be used to the altitude any longer. Is this true? -- D.W. ANSWER: The lower oxygen levels at high altitude, like some cities in Montana, can be a real problem for people with any kind of chronic lung disease. In those cases, supplemental oxygen or a lower altitude can make people feel better and even live longer. Given that your dad is already on oxygen, a lower altitude would be similar to dialing up the oxygen a bit. He may certainly prefer Florida's winters to Montana's. We begin to be accustomed to high altitude in a few days, but full acclimatization takes weeks. Your dad will be able to return home after his visit. The booklet on COPD explains both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the two elements of COPD, in detail.

Student-Loan Debt The respected research group Brookings Institute has released reports that cast a disturbing eye on student-loan debt -- at least on the surface. The bare stats might look more grim than the reality. Between 1989 and today, graduate students have left school with debt that has risen from $10,000 to $40,000. At the bachelor-degree level, the debt has risen from $6,000 to $16,000. However, because of having degrees, the lifetime income of those students also has increased enough. Over the past two decades, graduates have spent between 3 percent and 4 percent of their income repaying student loans, but the length of time for repayment has increased. The researchers concluded that graduates are no worse off than they were a decade ago when it comes to paying off student debt. Other Brookings researchers asked whether students know how much debt they will accumulate. Only half of students knew within $5,000 how much their first year of college cost them. Over a quarter said they didn't have any federal debt at all (possibly because of the confusion about the source of student loans), and 14 percent said they didn't have any student loan debt. Thirteen percent of students claimed to have no loans at all when they actually did, while 10 percent underestimated by more than $10,000 the amount of the loans they accrued. One disturbing conclusion was that "Students with high expected contributions are more likely to be unaware that they have any debt," possibly because the parents were managing the decisions. The end result of this research? Some students might decide not to attend college at all, fearful of the debt. Others might reach graduation and be shocked at the mountain of debt they've accumulated. Some might be prompted to finish up quickly. Research in 2009 showed that both private and public colleges have equal rates of "six-year graduations," where students linger while getting an education. In the maze of filling out admission and financial-aid applications, students and parents need to pause and look closely at the numbers, especially when the financial-aid packages come back. Students need to be aware of the amount of debt they're accumulating in their own name.

When You Can't Afford a Pet ---
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I've always wanted to own a dog, but financially I just don't feel I can afford one right now. It makes me feel guilty that I can't just adopt a dog and care for it. Should I really feel this bad? -- Harry in Trenton, New Jersey DEAR HARRY: I think you're taking a very responsible attitude toward pet ownership. Instead of running out and getting a dog, you sat back and asked yourself if you could afford it. And that's important, along with questions like, do you have the time to spend with a dog, is your family or roommate in agreement about owning a pet, and are you allowed to keep one in your apartment. But you can help make the world a better place even if you aren't able to keep a pet. I encourage you to contact a local shelter to see if it accepts volunteers. Many need unpaid volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, from paperwork to cleaning cages and play areas.Some have enough people on site to handle all the work, so don't be too disappointed if you're not needed. Look for other opportunities instead.Sign up for classes that train you how to care for pets in a shelter. Research pet charities, and give a small percentage of your paycheck to one. Or, if you can't spare even a couple of dollars a month, become a fundraiser ... from phone campaigns to waggy walks, you can help a pet-care organization raise thousands of dollars. Cash is what many shelters desperately need to keep caring for abandoned pets. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com.
1. Name the only No. 1 song by the Edgar Winter Group. 2. Which song mentions not playing B-17 on the jukebox, as it would bring back memories? 3. What day of the week is mentioned in two songs by Spanky and the Gang? 4. Name the group that released "Have I the Right?" 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: "He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller, He got hair down to his knee, Got to be a joker he just do what he please." 1. "Frankenstein," in 1973. The instrumental was heavy on synthesizer, and Winter played a number of the instruments. 2. "Please Mr. Please," by Olivia Newton-John in 1975. 3. Sunday: "Sunday Will Never Be the Same" and "Sunday Mornin'." 4. The Honeycombs, in 1964. To augment the drums during the chorus, band members stamped their feet on the stairs in the studio. 5. "Come Together," by the Beatles in 1969. The song was the subject of a lawsuit when it was claimed that John Lennon lifted part of Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me." It is suspicious: Berry's words were "Here come a flattop, he was movin' up with me," and Lennon's were "Here come ol' flattop, he come groovin' up slowly."

Looking for Love Online? Beware If you’re considering whether you should look for someone to date by going online, be sure you know the signs of a scam. The Better Business Bureau has some suggestions: • Find out if the dating site does background checks. Most of them don’t. Anyone can sign up, and the dating site is happy to take their money. • The minute someone asks you for money, stop communicating immediately. It doesn’t matter what the reason ... never give so much as one cent. Beware if the person claims to be overseas, in the military or recently widowed. Many states have sex offenders databases. Check. • Do a search online (use Google) to hunt for the person under the screen name and the “real” name. You can even put in snippets of text from your email communications to see if a pattern shows up. Put in the name and click “Images” to see if you spot familiar pictures. If you’re sent a photo, it might be fake. • Beware suitors who are too quick to
declare love or ask for marriage. Take a close look at the person’s social-media page. Does it look real? Check the dating site’s scam forums to see if you recognize any names or photos. • Take someone with you if you decide to meet. • Be wary of those who want to communicate outside of the dating site. You need the protection of the site, since many monitor communications to watch for patterns of scams. Here’s a better idea: Put out the word among your friends and acquaintances that you’re interested in meeting new people. Consider the groups you’re already in, or join new ones. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• We think of Jell-O as a tasty treat, but the process of making it isn’t quite as appetizing. The use of gelatin has been around since the 15th century. Gelatin itself is a protein that is produced by extracting collagen from the bones and connective tissues of animals, usually cows and pigs. The bones are boiled for several hours after which they are discarded, and the liquid is allowed to settle. The fat is then skimmed off the top and flavoring is added. • In 1845, inventor Peter Cooper, who had created America’s first steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, came up with a method of making large sheets of gelatin and grinding it into a powder that was easy to use in cooking. His U.S. Patent #4084 was for “portable gelatin,” and required only the addition of hot water. • The Jell-O trademark came about in 1897, when LeRoy, New York, cough syrup manufacturers Pearle and May Wait added strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon flavoring to granulated gelatin and sugar. Their concoction was 88% sugar. Although the couple was very good at making their product, they didn’t have the money to market it, and just two years later, they sold the formula, the patent, and the Jell-O name to their neighbor Orator Frank Woodward for $450 (about $12,000 today). • Woodward already owned a profitable packaged-food business in LeRoy, and he promptly sent out salesmen door-to-door to hand out free samples to launch his new acquisition. Immigrants landing in Ellis Island were served Jell-O and given a free Jell-O mold as a welcome gift. • In 1902, Jell-O ads were placed in the Ladies’ Home Journal and free Jell-O cookbooks were distributed. Famed artist Norman Rockwell illustrated their early advertisements. • Woodward’s family owned the rights to Jell-O for 27 years, and when they sold out to the Postum Cereal Company in 1925, five million cases were being shipped out of LeRoy each year. In 1927, Jell-O became part of the brand-new General Foods Corporation. • Cecil B. DeMille’s epic 1923 silent movie The Ten Commandments used massive amounts of Jell-O to create the special effect of Moses keeping the Red Sea parted while the Israelites made their escape from Egypt. • In the 1930s, the company introduced lime Jell-O for cooks who liked to make aspics and salads with vegetables like cabbage, celery, and peppers. As the years went by, new fruit flavors were continually added.

OPEN YOUR TREASURE Matthew 2:11 - On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. I love this story in the Christmas story where the wise men travel just to see and worship Jesus at His birth. First of all these wise men where magicians the same kind that Moses went up against in Egypt when God turned his staff into a snake. They would normally have a hard time believing in any power greater than themselves and what they can do but here they are giving Jesus treasures and worshiping Him. We may not have physical treasure but we do have things we value like treasure. These are the things that take most of our time and thoughts. God does not ask that you not have treasures and things you value in this world He is just asking that you value Him above any other person or thing in your life. We must “Open our Treasure” before God like the wise men did. This is coming to Him with the things that we value, our giftings and talents and saying “God here is everything that I have use it for your kingdom not mine”. What today do you need to open up to God to allow him to take control of in your life? Blessings, Lee West Executive Pastor Liberty Church
