• In March of 1952, Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio determined that he would like to meet Marilyn Monroe and within days, they had their first date. Due to his spectacular achievements with the New York Yankees, DiMaggio was much more of a celebrity at the time than the beautiful movie star. The two were married in a San Francisco civil ceremony in January, 1954, and just nine months later, were in divorce court. Raised in a strict traditional home, DiMaggio strongly disliked Marilyn’s film career, believing she should be a housewife caring for his home, and asked her to give up her career. For 20 years after her death at age 36, Joe had roses delivered to her grave twice a week.

• Virginia McMath and Frederick Austerlitz made ten films together during the 1930s, a dance duo better known as Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Prior to their first film, 1933’s Flyin’ Down to Rio, Rogers had never before danced with a partner. By 1936, the pair were top box office stars. From 1933 to 1949, the famous dancers made a total of 10 movies. turn the page for more!

Tidbits® of Douglas & Elbert Counties

FAMOUS COUPLES (continued): • The love story of Cherilyn Sarkisian and Salvatore Bono began in 1962 in a Los Angeles coffee shop. She was 16 and he was 27. Bono, who worked for a record producer at Hollywood’s Gold Star Studios helped get Cher a gig as a backup singer on some of the studio’s classic recordings, including The Righteous Brothers’ hit “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.” By late 1964, the pair were married and performing together, calling themselves Caesar and Cleo, releasing a single “Do You Wanna Dance?” Early the following year, they switched their name to Sonny and Cher.

Their signature hit “I Got You, Babe” was released in 1965. Their third album, in 1967, featured Sonny’s composition “The Beat Goes On,” another Sonny and Cher trademark. In 1971, they were offered a summer television series, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. The show was such a hit, the couple was offered a regular prime time program later that year, and it quickly soared to the network’s Top Ten. The program continued for four seasons, garnering 15 Emmy Award nominations. Unfortunately, by the third season, the marriage was unraveling, and although they separated that year, the show went on. A nasty divorce was finalized in 1975. Yet nothing seemed to hold the couple back, as they reunited in 1976 for The Sonny and Cher Show. Poor ratings resulted in its cancellation the following year. Cher went on to a successful solo singing and acting career, while Sonny was elected mayor of Palm Springs, California, for a term, followed by his election to the U.S. House of Representatives. While serving in that position, he was killed in a Lake Tahoe skiing accident, when he struck a tree. It seems only fitting that his tombstone’s epitaph reads, “And the beat goes on.”

• Biblical figure Samson was a judge over Israel when he fell for the seductive Delilah. Samson possessed supernatural strength endowed by God when he took a vow to be set apart for God’s service. Samson’s vow included never cutting his hair, and if he did, his strength would leave him.

He had been exacting vengeance on the Philistines, and they were out for payback. The Philistine rulers approached Delilah, offering her a great sum of money if she could discover the secret of Samson’s strength. Delilah slyly wormed the information out of him, then “called for someone to come and shave off the seven braids of his hair…and his strength left him.” The Philistines gouged out his eyes and put him in prison performing hard labor. In his pain, Samson cried out to God, and as his hair grew, his strength was restored. During a Philistine celebration, they paraded Samson into the temple to entertain the heckling crowds. He braced himself between the support pillars of the temple and used his unearthly strength to bring down the edifice, destroying his enemies along with himself.

• Olive Oyl was around long before her boyfriend Popeye. Olive first appeared in 1919 as a main character in the comic strip Thimble Theatre, a tall, extremely thin girl with her hair pulled into a bun.

Popeye wasn’t introduced to the strip until nearly 10 years later, but immediately became so popular, the comic was renamed Popeye. Olive Oyl’s brother was Castor Oyl, her father was Cole Oyl, and her sister-in-law, Cylinda Oyl. Olive appeared in nearly 25,000 comic strips. Popeye’s first animated cartoons appeared in 1933. In 1937, he was so popular that the community of Crystal City, Texas, the self-proclaimed Spinach Capital of the World, erected a statue of Popeye in front of City Hall to honor the character who had turned spinach Continued on page 5

Nature has given our domestic cats a fur coat that insulates from the cold and warm weather. Usually warm weather is less of a problem than cold weather unless you live in a desert with no shade or protection from the sun.

The cold temperatures when combined with rain, wind, hail, sleet, and snow can be a huge challenge for survival.

The wild cats in Colorado, the mountain lion and bobcat, have adapted well to harsh climate changes and the ability to hunt for food. Humans are the biggest threat to wildlife.

With our domestic cats we can tilt the chance for survival in our cat’s favor by providing the basics – good food, safe shelter, and love!

Tourmaline comes in a variety of colors, however green is considered the classical tourmaline color, or should I say shades of green. Some are very light green, and others are so dark that the green color can only be seen when held against a bright light. The blue-green to dark green tourmalines are the most popular but also the most rare, perhaps because they are worn by both men and women.

Don’t let the variety of names for tourmalines confuse you. A bottle-green tourmaline my be referred to as a “Brazilian tourmaline” but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the stone came from Brazil…it could have come from Africa. Tourmalines that are a lighter green are often referred to as “African Tourmalines” but it doesn’t necessarily mean they came from Africa…they might have come from Brazil.

Totally confused? Me too. Let’s make it simple: If the origin of your tourmaline is important – ask a trustworthy gemologist.

You’ll love a green tourmaline ring or necklace because the colors are harmonious with the environment and transmit a stunning vivacity.

• Twenty-five-year-old Elvis Presley was stationed in Germany in 1959, when he met the 14-year-old daughter of an Air Force officer at a party. Elvis and Priscilla Beaulieu had an eight-year courtship before finally marrying in 1967 in an eight-minute ceremony at Las Vegas’ Aladdin Hotel. He was 32, she was 21. Priscilla’s engagement ring was a 3.5-carat diamond surrounded by a row of smaller diamonds. The couple separated in 1972 and divorced in 1973. Ironically, their courtship lasted longer than the marriage.

• You might not recognize the name “American Gothic,” but you’ve probably seen the image. It’s a 1930 oil painting of a farmer holding a pitchfork, standing alongside a woman in her apron in front of a farmhouse.

Painter Grant Wood enlisted his sister Nan to model, while Wood’s dentist, Dr. Byron McKeeby posed next to her. Although some folks think they represent husband and wife, Wood intended the couple as a father and his spinster daughter. While driving through Eldon, Iowa, Wood happened to see a little wood farmhouse called the Dibble House, and had a vision of the couple standing in front of it. The couple he painted were, in Wood’s words, “the kind of people I fancied should live in that house.” The painting was exhibited for the first time in Chicago’s Art Institute, where Wood earned a $300 prize and immediate fame. Although he is best known for “American Gothic,” Wood painted 27 other works, along with various murals, lithographs, ceramics, and other art.

• Elizabeth soon switched jobs to become a beautician’s assistant in 1908. Two years later, she and a partner each invested $1,000 to open their own salon, and when that partnership dissolved shortly afterward, she opened her own on Fifth Avenue. She dubbed her salon Elizabeth Arden, taking the first name from her former partner and the surname from the Tennyson poem “Enoch Arden.”

• A trip to Paris enabled Elizabeth to learn new beauty techniques in that city’s salons. While in Paris, she developed a collection of rouge and powders, and upon her return to America, hired a team of chemists to develop her own personal line of face creams and lotions.

• In 1922, Elizabeth opened a salon in Paris, which was followed by salons in South America and Australia.

Even in the midst of the Great Depression, her company was grossing upwards of $4 million a year. In 1946, her picture graced the cover of TIME magazine, one of the first women to be honored in this way.

WINTER SPECIAL!

Minimize ice melt use when you can Colorado's recent dive into the deep freeze meant a lot of us were strewing ice melt over steps and walkways. It's a fact of life during the Colorado winter.

While we need to protect people from slipping and falling, we also need to be aware that almost all ice melt products are salt-based and salts are damaging to plants. The salt from ice melt not only gets into the soil, but will build up over time to become an ongoing problem.

If the front entry sidewalk gets repeated applications of ice melt during the winter, chances are the salt will keep accumulating in the soil in the grass or bed areas next to the walk. Many seasons of using ice melt will bump up salt levels in the soil and your plants won't like it.

What happens? Just like when people eat salt and become thirsty, overly-salted plants will also get thirsty and dry out.

Flushing the area with water sometimes helps, but may not be completely effective.

Here are two tips for minimizing salt damage: Use ice melt products sparingly. While you must play it safe on walks, pay attention to how much product it really takes to get the job done. Less may be enough.

When ice is melting, avoid sweeping the puddles of salty water into planting areas. Instead, let the moisture evaporate, sweep up any product that remains and dispose of it.

Through moderation and careful clean-up, you can reduce the amount of damaging salt that travels to the root zone of your plants.

If perennial ice problems make it impossible for walks and plant-growing areas to exist side-by-side, modifying the area might be in order. The solution could be as simple as placing mulch over the highly salted area and placing container plants on top of the mulch. Dealing with ice that results from other issues, such as poor drainage, will require solving the problem that causes ice to accumulate in the first place.

When you suspect plants are declining due to salt damage, an evaluation of the plant material and a soil test can confirm that salt is in fact the cause. With this information, you can move on to consider landscape options that will help you keep your property safe and still allow you to enjoy your plants.

Just say “NO” to“Tired Teeth” You can have the smile of your dreams - with NO shots, NO drilling, NO Pain and NO sensitivity; and if there’s no “drilling”, it’s reversible!

What are Lumineers?

Ultrathin Lumineers are made of a beautiful, strong “white” porcelain. They are made thin, so they can fit over your own teeth and not make you look like one of our “equine” friend’s smile.

How many do I need? Typically, a nice, beautiful smile shows eight to ten teeth. My own Smile Makeover needed ten Lumineers.

The first session took just a few minutes with a little polishing reshaping and an easy impression.

Then at a second session, in about an hour, I got my new smile. It was easy - with NO shots, NO drilling, No pain, and NO sensitivity!

Don’t hide that smile.

• On Dec. 28, 1793, Thomas Paine is arrested in France for treason. Though the charges against him were never detailed, he had been tried in absentia on Dec. 26 and convicted. Before moving to France, Paine was an instrumental figure in the American Revolution as the author of Common Sense.

• On Dec. 24, 1801, British inventor Richard Trevithick takes his friends for a test ride on his “Puffing Devil,” or “Puffer,” the first steam-powered passenger vehicle. The Puffer could be put to work in mines, on farms, in factories, on ships and in locomotives of all kinds.

• On Dec. 27, 1831, British naturalist Charles Darwin sets out from Plymouth, England, aboard the HMS Beagle on a five-year surveying expedition of the southern Atlantic and Pacific oceans to gather knowledge of the flora, fauna and geology. This information proved invaluable in the development of his theory of evolution.

• On Dec. 22, 1849, writer Fyodor Dostoevsky is led before a firing squad but receives a last-minute reprieve and is sent to a Siberian labor camp, where he worked for four years. In 1866, he published “Crime and Punishment.”

• On Dec. 25, 1941, “White Christmas,” written by Irving Berlin, receives its world premiere on the NBC radio program, “The Kraft Music Hall.” The song went on to become one of the most commercially successful singles of all time.

• On Dec. 26, 1966, Jimi Hendrix writes the lyrics to “Purple Haze” -- the song that would give him his breakthrough hit in the United States. “Purple Haze” actually had relatively little commercial success as a single.

Sell Your Home For CASH! A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE CLUB Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my daughter purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.

Foreclosure Divorce Behind on payments Fast Closings Settling an estate

Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.

No Hassles, Great Prices!

I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

720-213-4752 • www.homedirex.com

Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

MONDAY: Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god-- with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!

Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!

Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around.

This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!

TUESDAY: I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.

Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.

WEDNESDAY: The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.

Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.

My Favorite Things Featuring...

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other crap too.

Candles Primitives Furniture Holiday Home Decor

THURSDAY: Butt hole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes.

He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny witch to find me.

Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine-- which I sank.

FRIDAY: I hate that jackass Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobics instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.

Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps!

And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?

SATURDAY: Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel..

SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my daughter will choose a gift for me that is fun-- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!
