Trains have fascinated people since they started rolling on the rails many years ago. One group of people in particular, hobos, made trains a big part of their lives, even though they weren’t authorized to do so! • During the latter 19th century and early 20th century, many people could not find work. The worst time was during the Great Depression years, from 1929 to 1940, when more than 2 million men and around 8,000 women became hobos.

• The word “hobo” is generally meant for an itinerant (wandering) person that’s willing to work. Some say the word was derived from “hoe-boy,” which meant someone looking for farm work, hence willing to hoe cotton or other crops. Another possible origination was from the intersection of Houston and Bowery Streets in Manhattan, New York, where “hobos” were known to congregate. There are other theories about the word as well, but it was a word that came into use when trains provided a way to move about the country. • Hobos found that the easiest way to get to a different city or part of the country was to hitch a ride on a freight train. Even though this was illegal, railroads were kind to hobos and generally saw them as harmless people who just needed transportation. turn the page for more!

HOPPING THE RAILS (continued): • As time passed and more people, mostly men, tried to hop rides on freight trains, problems developed. Many hobos were dirty, some appeared to have mental health issues, and some just appeared to be lazy bums! Some hobos became radical and tried to characterize their way of life as a freedom that they deserved. Hence, railroads sought to stop the free rides. • Chicago was known as the hobo capital of the United States. Hobos gathered in groups for food and shelter. They developed a hobo code of ethics and even devised symbols as a way to spread information and warnings to their comrades. • The hobo life was not an easy life by any stretch of the imagination. When deciding to “hobo,” many would see it as an adventure, but the reality was that it was hard to find work. Money was hard to come by, which also meant food, clothing, hot baths and many other basic needs and wants were not met. Lastly, it was a dangerous way of life.

• Reports from the Interstate Commerce Commission show that from 1929-1939, 24,647 trespassers were killed and 27,171 were injured on railroad property. • Hobos were what some call the “original migrant workers.” They would follow harvests in the American West. Hay, corn, wheat, hops, fruit, vegetables and cotton harvests were all potential jobs that hobos would seek. They traveled from Chicago and other Eastern cities to California, to the Rocky Mountains, to the Pacific Northwest, the South, the Southwest and back to Southern California seeking the crops and weather that would provide work. • One of the first acts signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1933 created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). By July, 250,000 young men were put to work in forest and park camps. Many of these young men had been hobos, jumping on trains looking for work wherever they could find it. The CCC program helped to “encourage conservation of our natural resources and the salvage of our young men.” • Starting in 1925 “brushless shaving cream” from Burma-Shave was advertised on small red and white signs using wit and wisdom. Over 7,000 BurmaShave signs dotted the roadsides across America at the height of their popularity. There would be several signs in succession, with the punch line on the last one. The last new signs were made in 1963 and have now disappeared from our roadways. A series of signs in 1951 read: “The hobo lets his whiskers sprout. It’s trains – not girls, that he takes out! Burma-Shave.” • Movies helped to romanticize railroads and hobos, Continued on page 7

Mosquitoes Bring Heartworm Season –
Prevention is Key!
FIRE MITIGATION
Cats and dogs can be infected with heartworm disease by the bite from a carrier mosquito. The coyote has become the ‘natural’ reservoir for the disease. Dogs are the primary host for the disease, but cats and other animals can become infected, and the consequences are serious. Indoor cats are just as susceptible as outdoor cats! The good news is that this disease can be prevented. There is no effective treatment once your cat is infected, so prevention is the key. A safe, monthly topical medication is the best way to protect your cat(s). If you have questions please call our hospital.

Plants of all types and climate ranges can poison your cat. Plants are a significant cause of sickness and death in cats, second only to pesticide poisonings. Indoor cats are more inclined to get sick eating plants than outdoor cats. Boredom is the most common cause of choosing to eat plants in the house. During the holiday seasons cats are exposed to poisonous decorative plants such as Holly, Dumbcane, and Easter lilies. Keep all toxic plants away from your cats and pets.

What are you to do if you have a heart attack while you are alone. The Johnson City Medical Center staff actually discovered this and did an in-depth study on it in our ICU. The two individuals that discovered this then did an article on it, had it published and have had it incorporated into ACLS and CPR classes. It is very true and has and does work. It is called cough CPR. A cardiologist says it's the truth. You can bet that we'll save at least one life. It could save your life! Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. And you're driving home (alone of course), after an usually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

What can you do? You've been trained in CPR. But the guy that taught the course didn't tell you what to do if it happened to yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order. Without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
Clean out your closet & make a big boom! Come to Bee’s Boutique
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

This opaque, deep blue gemstone was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewelry. Archaeologists have found this gemstone in excavations in a variety of places around the Mediterranean where they were used as decorative chains and figures; indicating the stone has been popular for thousands of years among the people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome. Countless lapis lazuli signet rings, scarabs and figures were brought to Europe by Alexander the Great. They referred to the dark blue color as “ultramarine”, which means something like “from beyond the sea.” The name is actually composed from a Latin word “lapis” meaning stone, and an Arabic word “azula” meaning blue. The stone was used by the Old Masters in their art. It was ground up into a powder and mixed together with binding-agents to create a radiant blue used in watercolors and oil paints. Lapis lazuli is regarded by many as the stone of friendship and truth. It is said to encourage harmony in relationships and to help its wearer be authentic and speak honestly. Scott McQueen is the owner of Pinetree Jewelers, Parker’s oldest jewelry store established in 1976. It is located at 11028 S. Pikes Peak Drive in Parker.

and stories of hobos often made riding the rails look fun and easy to do. Operation Lifesaver is a program that started in Idaho with the Union Pacific Railroad in 1972. This program has more to do with the safety of highway traffic at railroad crossings than it does hobos, however, a large function of the program is educating the public that railroads are private property. Education, Enforcement and Engineering, the three E’s, have been used to reduce fatalities on railroads in the last 30-plus years. The program is now used all over the United States and Canada. • The Original Hobo Nickel Society (OHNS) is a club for collectors and carvers of nickels. The hobby of carving nickels started years ago with hobos. Some of the oldest carved nickels are worth thousands of dollars today. • The Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, New Hampshire, is a popular tourist train that is great for kids and adults, whether hobos or not. They offer a Hobo Picnic Lunch, which, of course, comes with a souvenir bindle stick. • Hobo Jim is a singer/songwriter who is an Alaska legend. Not a real hobo, he spent many years as a commercial fisherman, logger and cowboy before being named “Alaska’s state balladeer” in 1994 by the state legislature and governor. • The 5th annual Rail Fest will be held September 16-18, 2011, in North Platte, Nebraska. Why is North Platte important in railroad history? The main line through the town is the busiest freight corridor in the world. More than 150 trains and 10,000 rail cars are processed at Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard every 24 hours. Bailey Yard is about eight miles long (12.9 km) and up to three miles wide (4.8 km). The festival has free tours of the massive freight yard as well as real and model train exhibits, a carnival and other activities — including a Hobo Contest. • Another annual gathering of hobos that has been held for two decades is the Pullman Hobo Fest in the historic Pullman area of Chicago. This festival occurs on the factory grounds of the defunct Pullman Company, which manufactured passenger rail cars for 100 years. Free camping is allowed on the grounds, called the “hobo jungle,” which is what typical hobo grounds are called. • There are 10 to 12 weekend gatherings across the United States every year that welcome old and new hobos as well as those curious to see the way hobos lived. • This is the end of this little “bit” about hobos. Since hobos never say goodbye, we’ll just end as a hobo would: “Down the road!”
OVERCOMING THE ODDS: MEL TILLIS Born on August 8, 1932, Lonnie Melvin Tillis, Mel, as he came to be known, suffered from malaria as a child. The disease left him with a chronic stuttering problem that he turned into a plus for his career as a singer, songwriter, actor and entertaining personality. • Tillis’ stuttering problem was not always easy to deal with. As a child in the Great Depression, his family moved often looking for work. With each move he had to meet new classmates and teachers and go through the ordeal of them noticing his inability to speak a sentence without stuttering. • Tillis learned to play the drums and guitar and won a talent contest at age 16. Music continued to be a source of encouragement when he performed in a band while in the Air Force. After leaving the Air Force in 1955, he worked odd jobs until moving to Nashville in 1957 to pursue a music career. • Early in his career, Tillis was told by a man who had just refused him a job to overcome his stuttering by changing his outlook on life. He was told to repeat this prayer, a version of the “Serenity Prayer,” every night: “Oh Lord, Grant me the Courage to change the things I can change, the Serenity to accept
those I cannot change, and the Wisdom to know the difference. And God, Grant me the Courage to not give up on what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless.” Tillis obviously worked hard to overcome his stuttering problem and didn’t abandon his dreams.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver
¥ It was philosopher, historian, mathematician and Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell who made the following sage observation: “In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.” ¥ The giant Pacific octopus, the largest octopus in the world, is a prolific breeder. Extremely prolific. The female lays approximately 56,000 eggs, all at once. And since, according to experts, the population is stable, of those 56,000 eggs, only two survive to reproduce. ¥ It was Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the United States, who ordered the White House’s first bathtub in the 1850s. ¥ Harry Houdini is best known as a magician and an escape artist, but he also performed amazing stunts. In the early days of aviation, he flew in an airplane to an altitude of 3,000 feet, then jumped off the plane onto another one -while wearing handcuffs. ¥ A recent study conducted by researchers at a university in Sweden found that if a person has to commute longer than 45 minutes to work, he or she is 40 percent more likely to get divorced. ¥ There are more languages and dialects spoken in India than in any other country in the world: in excess of 1,600 at last count. ¥ If you’re planning a trip to Marrakesh, Morocco, be sure to visit the Koutoubiya minaret. In 1195 Sultan Yakub al Mansur commanded that the minaret be built in thanksgiving for a military victory, and the tower is lovely. The structure’s unique attribute, however, is not visible -- it’s olfactory. When the minaret was being built, 960 sacks of musk were mixed in with the mortar, and the odor can still be detected today. *** Thought for the Day: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” -- Voltaire (c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

Forest Fires: What You Can Do To Help Protect Your House As we enter the dry fire season, it’s good to know what you can do to help protect your house if a fire does start in your area. Not to mention, most of these measures are easy to do while you’re out doing the spring yard work. Step 1-Start by estimating the height of the trees and shrubs around your home. Flames can get as tall as two and a half times the height of the trees, brush and other things that are burning. For example, If you have trees that are 25 feet tall, then you should look at clearing out trees and brush within 75 feet of your home. If your property line doesn’t allow for that, then clear out the immediate area surrounding your house. Step 2- As you clear out the trees and brush, keep an eye out for other potential forest fire fuel. Look under decks for piles of dead leafs, pine needles and branches. This items don’t take much to ignite and can burn fast. Also, try to not stack firewood close to the house. It’s easy to stack it next to the house for convenience but if a fire comes, it’s a big pile of fire fuel. Step 3- If you have a wood shake roof, look at replacing it with something less flammable. This one is a little more expensive and isn’t just a weekend job for most people. But if the opportunity arises and you have the option to replace the roof, select a different material that won’t leave your house covered in dried-out, fire fuel. Most insurance companies will even lower your rate once the roof is replaced. Step 4- If a fire does start in your area, start watering down your house and surrounding property. Do this as long as you can until the authorities instruct you to evacuate. Once they tell you to evacuate, leave the area. Do not risk your life. Insurance covers fire and will replace your home and belongings. This helpful information is brought to you by:

So, let’s look at three popular ways of owning bonds: Individual bonds —When you buy an individual bond, you will receive predictable interest payments. And when your bond matures, you’ll get the original principal back, unless the issuer defaults, which is not common in cases of “investment grade” bonds. However, the value of your bond — the price you could get for it if you sold it on the open market before it matured — will fluctuate over time, primarily in response to interest rates. (When market rates go up, the value of your bond drops, and vice versa.) In general, you’ll pay at least $5,000 for an individual bond, though that amount may vary. Consequently, while this approach gives you more control, it can be more time consuming and require a larger investment in order to build a diverse fixed-income portfolio. Bond funds — By investing in a bond-based mutual fund, which may own dozens of different types of bonds, you can efficiently increase your diversification, which is important, because diversification can help reduce credit risk (although it can’t guarantee a profit or protect against a loss). A bond fund does not pay you a fixed rate of return; instead, you receive dividends, which will fluctuate based on the underlying bonds’ interest rates and capital appreciation. In addition, bond funds don't have a maturity date when principal is repaid. Keep in mind that when you purchase bond funds, you could be subject to capital gains taxes in two different ways: if you sell your fund shares for a profit or if the fund manager sells an underlying bond for more than it’s worth. This increased capital gains liability is one reason that many people put bond funds in a tax-deferred vehicle, such as an IRA or a 401(k). Bond UITs — A unit investment trust (UIT), like a mutual fund, contains a variety of bonds, so you get the benefit of diversification. Unlike a mutual fund, however, a UIT is not actively managed and does not change its holdings. And since no manager is involved in making changes or trades, a UIT has low management fees. A UIT is typically established for 20 to 30 years, but, as an individual investor, you can sell your shares whenever you want, for whatever the market will bear. Although UITs can be some of the most cost-efficient, low-risk options in the fixed-income arena, they are not without risk. Specifically, since a UIT’s bonds provide fixed interest rates, there’s always the possibility that the bonds will lose purchasing power to inflation over time. When choosing how to own bonds, you’ll need to evaluate many factors — and we’ve only looked at some of them. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine which methods of bond ownership are appropriate for your needs. By doing your homework, and getting the help you need, you can maximize the advantages of adding bonds to your investment mix.

What is it that really sets Christianity apart from every other religion in the world. At the root of the Christian faith is the matter of sin. In this day and age, many people and religious organizations have watered down this subject or even attempted to remove it completely from our consciousness, because after all, we would not want anyone to feel bad would we? Well the fact of the matter is that every single person on this earth is born into sin. And this is easy to prove, just take a young child, say 2 or 3 years old. Have you ever witnessed them lying to you over something? Of course the answer is yes! Did their parents teach them how to lie, teach them how to cheat, teach them how to steal? Of course not, a loving parent would never teach his child those things yet he does them instinctively because of sin. The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23” For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” But mankind was not originally created like that, God created man in His own image and in His own likeness. God originally created man a prefect being, created him to live eternally, and placed him in the Garden of Eden and gave him a command to be fruitful, multiply and fill up the earth with the blessings of God. So what happened? How did this thing get so messed up? The answer is a simple one, man’s free will. Man was created with a free will, with the ability to choose right or wrong. God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and told them this Genesis 3:3 “ But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.” Well, along comes Satan and convinces Eve that God is trying to keep something good from her so she goes ahead and eats and gives some to her husband to eat. And at that very moment, as God had said, they died and then became aware of sin. Now they did not die physically, but that process had begun, they would eventually physically die. But even more importantly they died spiritually. The connection and fellowship they had with God up to that point in time was now destroyed. When God created them in His own image, they were created spirit beings, just like God. The real you is a spirit, that has a soul, (your mind, will, & emotions), that lives in a physical body. When you die, you do not stop being you, you simply step out of your body, and at that point, there are only two places for your spirit to go. One is hell, the other is heaven. The question then becomes, what determines where I go to live eternally when I die? Herein, lies THE most important question a man can ask himself. More next week!
