Evangelist Jim Brown maintained the “Mr. Ed” television theme song conveyed a satanic message to unwary listeners. “ ‘A horse is a horse’ when played backwards contains the message, ‘the source is Satan’ and ‘someone sung this song for Satan,’” Brown maintained. OOPS! • In Iowa, hundreds of highway signs warning of deer crossings were distributed. The signs pictured the deer with their antlers backwards. • At the San Onofre, CA, nuclear plant, the 420-ton reactor vessel was installed backwards. • So much mail was being sent to Mount Tabor, South Carolina, when it was intended to go to Mount Tabor, North Carolina, that residents in South Carolina dropped the Mount from their name and spelled Tabor backwards to become the town of Robat. • At the end of World War I, Marshal Ferdinand Foch dictated the armistice to Henri Deledicq, a military clerk from French headquarters. In the wee hours of early morning, the sleepy clerk put the carbon papers in backwards. As a result, the Armistice agreement signed on November 11, 1918 in the railway car near Rethondes had signatures on the bottom of an agreement that was printed backwards. No one even noticed. BACKWARDS WORDS • A man named Muldoon led a gang of street thugs that kept the entire waterfront area of San Francisco under their tight control in the 1870s. A newspaper wanted to end their tyranny but was so intimidated by the gang that they dared not use Muldoon’s real name. They spelled it backwards and changed the N to an H— and hoodlum entered the language. • Enola, a town in Arkansas, is ‘alone’ spelled backwards. • A failed cola company in Ohio named their new pop Norka, advertising, “Remember— Norka spelled backwards is Akron.” • Evian water is ‘naïve’ spelled backwards. • “Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?”- Al Boliska BACKWARDS MOVIES • The Tarzan yell is based on a yodel Johnny Weissmuller learned from his father as a child. The yodel is played backwards and speeded up to three times its normal rate. • Gary Cooper portrayed baseball player Lou Gehrig in the movie “The Pride of the Yankees.” The problem was that Gehrig was left-handed and Cooper was right-handed. To get around this, Cooper played his scenes wearing a baseball uniform that had the insignia sewn on backwards. He played right-handed, but then the film was flipped over as it ran through the cameras. Cooper appeared to be a natural left hander. • Jack Palance played the gunslinger in the movie “Shane.” But Palance knew nothing about horses and a lot of horse scenes were required. Palance was nervous when mounting and dismounting, so when the director filmed him doing a perfect dismount, he used that same scene over and over in the movie and even ran it backwards whenever the script called for Palance to mount his horse. One scene called for Palance to gallop into town on his horse, but he couldn’t manage it. So the director asked him to just canter into town, but still Palance had trouble. Finally the director told Palance to just get off the horse and walk into town leading the animal. This Palance did, and it became one of the most dramatic scenes in the movie.

The Lunch Bunch Students are heading back to school, and you probably went to great lengths to ensure your child has the right equipment -- pencils, pens, notebooks, clothing -- to make it through the day. Proper nutrition also is a key ingredient for back-to-school success because it fuels brain cells and gives your child the energy and nutrients he or she needs for optimal learning. Packing your child’s lunch lets you know exactly what he or she is eating. Follow these tips, and not only will you save money, but you will pack a nutritious lunch that your child will enjoy: --A healthy lunch should contain foods from each of the five food groups: carbohydrates, protein, dairy, fruits and vegetables. Choose whole-grain products like bread, tortillas, pita bread, bagels or whole-grain crackers. These are more nutritious, have more fiber, vitamins and minerals, and keep blood sugar steady for optimal learning. --Select protein foods wisely. Use lean meat like chicken or turkey breast, hard-boiled eggs, tuna packed in water, beans or peanut butter. Protein in every meal helps keep blood sugar steady. --Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and serve them creatively. Examples include baby carrots with yogurt dip, or other cut vegetables with low-fat dip or hummus. --Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products like yogurt, milk and cheese. These are great calcium and protein sources. --For side items, re-think that bag of chips. Instead, choose carrots sticks, celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, apple slices with peanut butter, fruit salad, whole fruit, raisins or pretzels. --For dessert, think beyond the cookie. Try whole-grain graham crackers, ginger snaps, raisins, unsweetened applesauce, homemade muffins or fresh fruit. --Choose a beverage that hydrates, like water, or choose low-fat or fat-free milk for additional protein, calcium and vitamin D. Avoid drinks with calories and no nutrients. --Choose an insulated bag and freezer packs to keep food at a safe temperature. Buy containers to fit your lunchbox needs. Invest washable and reusable containers in a variety of sizes. Avoid using plastic sandwich baggies. --Buy in bulk. Avoid single-serve packaging. You save money when you buy in bulk and pack it yourself into single servings. Buy a large container of yogurt or pudding and use 4-ounce containers to pack your own. Buy a block of cheese and cut it into cubes or shred it. Buy crackers in boxes, rather than individual packages. --Make your own sandwich fillings. Look beyond lunch meat. Slice your own meat or grill chicken breast and cut it into strips
or cubes. Avoid prepackaged lunches, which are costly. --Pack leftovers for lunch. Use meats, veggies and fruits in sandwiches and salads. Homemade soup is always a good option. --Buy what’s on sale and use coupons. Get whatever is on sale each week and work it into a menu. Use fruits and vegetables that are in season. --Buy store brand and compare unit prices. Look high and low -- bargains are usually on the top or bottom shelves, not at eye level. --Plan ahead and have a list when you go to the store. The more time you spend in a store, the more money you spend. --Add some fun touches to the meal. The traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich can become pretty boring. Get a couple of cookie cutters and have kids cut the sandwich into different shapes. Include the kids in the preparation process and give them choices. Take them along when grocery shopping. Let them pick one new fruit or vegetable each week that they’d like to try. Let them help pack their lunch. --Think beyond bread when making sandwiches. A good alternative is a whole-wheat pita pocket with hummus, shredded vegetables and grilled chicken strips. --Vary the preparation. Try grilled or baked, chopped or grated, plain or with a dip. --Pack a variety of options to keep a child’s interest. Avoid packing the same lunch every day -- this prevents kids from getting bored. --Practice good nutrition yourself. Children learn by association -- you need to be a role model. Talk with them the benefits of healthy eating. Don’t get discouraged if your child rejects a food on first taste. It can take 15 to 20 tries before a child gets used to a new food. --A nutritious lunch does not have to be boring or cost you a fortune. Making small changes can save you money. Try one or two tips each week, and soon you should see some relief in your grocery bills. Remember that well-nourished children have a greater chance of success at school because they have the fuel and the energy they need to play and learn.

¥ On Sept. 5, 1666, firefighters in London begin blowing up homes in a desperate attempt to halt the spread of a great fire through the city. By the time the fire was finally snuffed out the following day, more than 100,000 people had been left homeless. ¥ On Sept. 7, 1776, during the Revolutionary War, the 8-foot-long American submersible craft Turtle attempts to attach a time bomb to the hull of British Admiral Richard Howe’s flagship Eagle in New York Harbor. It was the first use of a submarine in warfare. ¥ On Sept. 6, 1915, a prototype tank nicknamed Little Willie rolls off the assembly line in England. It weighed 14 tons, got stuck in trenches and crawled over rough terrain at only 2 mph. For secrecy, production workers were told the vehicles would be used to carry water on the battlefield. The new vehicles were shipped in crates labeled “tank,” and the name stuck. ¥ On Sept. 3, 1935, a new land-speed record is set by Britain’s Sir Malcolm Campbell. On the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, Campbell and his 2,500-horsepower car Bluebird made two runs over a 1-mile course at speeds averaging 301 mph.

¥ On Sept. 8, 1945, U.S. troops land in Korea to begin their postwar occupation of the southern part of that nation, almost exactly one month after Soviet troops had entered northern Korea to begin their own occupation. Although the U.S. and Soviet occupations were supposed to be temporary, the division of Korea quickly became permanent. ¥ On Sept. 2, 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) makes its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, N.Y. It wasn’t until 1971 that an ATM could handle multiple functions, including providing customers’ account balances. ¥ On Sept. 4, 1972, U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz wins his seventh gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Munich and establishes new world records in all the events. The record would stand until Michael Phelps took home eight gold medals at the Beijing Games in 2012. 1. Which duo had a hit with “The Mountain’s High”? 2. Name the first George Baker Selection hit from 1970. 3. Name the rock group with these members: Peter Shapiro, Steve Dowler, David Dugdale and Ray Greenleaf. 4. Who had a hit with “Breakout” in 1986? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Well, we’re big rock singers, we got golden fingers and we’re loved everywhere we go.” Answers 1. Dick and Dee Dee, in 1961. The song was supposed to be the b-side of the record until a DJ accidentally played it. The song went to No. 2 on the charts. 2. “Little Green Bag.” The song became a cult classic when it was used in the film “Reservoir Dogs” in 1992. Tom Jones even tried it in 1999, pairing up with Barenaked Ladies. 3. The Marbles, a San Francisco psychedelic group from 1961 to 1965. 4. Swing Out Sister. The song netted a Grammy nod and ended up on the soundtrack of “Grand Theft Auto IV”. 5. “The Cover of the Rolling Stone,” by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, in 1973. The song is a satire about the group not making it on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

Bubbles Add ‘Pop’ to Labor Day Picnic
Blowing bubbles is high on my list of life’s simple pleasures. It’s relaxing fun that turns any family get-together into a party. So why not take a big container of this homemade bubble brew to your Labor Day picnic for a bubble-blowing fest and contest all ages will love. Challenge kids to make the biggest, tiniest and longest-lasting bubble. Before you leave for the picnic, scout around the house to find unique bubble makers -- from fly swatters and plastic six-pack rings to strainers and straws. Gather them up and you’ll soon be swimming in custom-made bubbles. To make the solution you’ll need: 1 large plastic bowl 2 cups warm water 1-cup dishwashing detergent 2 tablespoons glycerin (from the pharmacy) Here’s the fun: Pour water in the bowl. Measure out and add the liquid detergent. (Please make sure it’s not detergent for dishwashers.) Stir. Add the glycerin and stir a little more. Pull out your junk box, kitchen utensil drawer and cupboards, and say to your kids, “Everyone find a thing or two that isn’t sharp, won’t get soggy in water and that has lots of holes in it!” For example, spatulas, biscuit cutters, plastic strawberry cartons and plastic caps with small holes on spice jars (you can clip it on a clothespin or chip clip for a wand handle). You also may make your own bubbler by twisting thin wire into a shape, such as a square, heart or circle. Leave enough wire to twist together a handle. Go outside, choose a bubble maker, dip it in the soapy liquid and gently blow through it, or grandly wave it back and forth above your head while the bubbles fly!
