TIDBITS® GOES OVER

NIAGARA FALLS

by Janet Spencer

More than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic ft) of water go over Niagara Falls every minute during peak hours. It has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m).

Come with Tidbits as we remember daredevils and fools who have gone over the falls.

• Annie Edson Taylor was the first person ever to go over Niagara in a barrel. A widowed and unemployed schoolteacher, she was 63 years old in 1901 when she pulled off the stunt on her birthday. She was strapped into a harness inside an oak wine barrel padded with cushions. A bicycle pump was used to increase the air pressure inside the barrel after she climbed in. Then she was towed into the river above the falls. After the plunge, she spent 17 minutes bobbing around before assistants were able to snag the barrel and pull her to shore.

Emerging dazed but unhurt, she said, “No one ought ever do that again.” She was incoherent for several days afterwards. Alas, the fame and fortune she was hoping for eluded her – perhaps because she was neither young nor beautiful – and she spent the next 20 years working as a Niagara street vendor, selling photos of herself with her barrel for a penny. She died, destitute and unknown, 20 years later.

Interesting Stuff

OVER A BARREL cont’d • Circus stuntman Bobby Leach went over the falls in a steel

barrel in 1911, surviving with minor injuries. While on tour with his famous barrel in New Zealand in 1925, he slipped on an orange peel on a street and fell. He broke his leg, which later had to be amputated, leading to gangrene, which killed him.

• On the 4th of July in 1928, Mr. Jean Lussier survived the trip not in a barrel but in a 6-foot rubber ball lined with rubber tubes and filled with oxygen. The tubes had valves that could be released, providing oxygen should he become trapped behind the falls. He was the first person to take the trip in an inflatable device instead of the more traditional wooden barrels or steel drums. After bobbing about at the bottom of the falls for an hour, he was pulled to shore and emerged unharmed in front of an audience of over 100,000.

Afterwards he sold small souvenir pieces of the inner tubes for fifty cents each. When he ran out of authentic pieces, he peddled rubber purchased from a nearby tire store.

• 46-year-old Greek chef George Strathakis went over in 1930 to generate publicity for his book entitled The Mysterious Veil of Humanity Through the Ages, which was a rambling incoherent treatise. His barrel was trapped behind the falls for over 14 hours before it finally broke loose. Strathakis, with only enough oxygen for several hours, suffocated.

However, his pet turtle named Sonny Boy, reputed to be 105 years old and taken along for good luck, survived.

Douglas County Businesses...

We’ll get the money your customers owe you!

• Nathan Boya made the trip in 1961 in a steel sphere covered by six layers of rubber, which he called the “Plunge-o-Sphere.” He included 13 canisters of oxygen on the advice of Jean Lussier. He emerged unhurt to find the police waiting for him. He was fined $100 – the minimum sentence for violating the Niagara Parks Act – and he had to pay court costs of $13.

• Karel Soucek became the first Canadian to survive the plunge. In 1984 he went over in a cylindrical barrel with fiberglass moldings, liquid foam insulation, a two-way radio, and a snorkel for breathing. The fall took 3.2 seconds and the force of the fall snapped off his radio antennae, leaving him without communication. He was trapped in dangerous waters for 45 minutes before being pulled free.

He suffered only minor injuries. He was fined $500. Six months later he was re-creating the spectacle at the Houston Astrodome in front of 45,000 spectators. His barrel was lifted to the top of the astrodome by a crane and released above a water tank only ten feet wide and ten feet deep. It hit the edge of the tank and he was killed. He was buried at the Niagara Falls cemetery. Of all the people who have gone over the falls seeking fame and fortune, he came the closest to achieving it. He would have earned a quarter million dollars through public appearance contracts in the year following the feat if he hadn’t died in Houston.

• Dave Munday, a mechanic and skydiving instructor from Ontario, has dared the falls on several occasions. In 1985 a police officer witnessed him enter the water and immediately radioed the Hydro Control Dam upstream.

They cut the water flow of the Niagara River and the water level dropped five feet in three minutes. The barrel got stuck in shallow water a mile above the rim of the falls. But Dave Munday was persistent. Later that year he tried again, this time launching himself scant yards above the falls, and made the trip successfully in an aluminum barrel equipped with video and radio equipment. In another attempt in 1990, his barrel got stuck on rocks at the very brink of the falls and he had to be rescued by a cable on a crane. In September of 1993 he tried again, this time in a converted diving bell. At age 56, became the first person to go over the falls twice.

Answer: Dental Disease. The mouth is a source of yummy food for bacteria and viruses to thrive on. These micro-organisms commonly attack teeth causing decay & tooth reabsorption, gum infection (gingivitis), and disrupt supporting structures & bone (periodontal disease). Plaque and tartar are a mixture of food, saliva and micro-organisms that promote dental disease and tooth loss. Regular dry cat food with its very high carbohydrate contributes to dental disease.

99% of cats won’t allow brushing. What can be done if you cannot actively brush your cat’s teeth?

Adding water disinfecting products to your cat’s water can help decrease the number of bacteria in the mouth, decrease tartar buildup, and decrease periodontal disease.

Having your cat eat dental diets may be the biggest help in preventive dental care because dental diets actually scrub the teeth surfaces with fiber. Regular dry cat foods do not clean teeth and they are actually like eating a candy bar because most dry foods are 25-50% carbohydrate.

----------------------------

Brushing, flossing, and regular preventive dental care are the answers to a healthy mouth in humans. Some dogs may allow daily brushing with a pet dental tooth product. This helps to decrease mouth bacteria, decrease tartar buildup and periodontal disease in the process. Cats are the masters at hiding dental disease and most owners don’t know their cat has a problem. Dental exams are part of a yearly health check-up and senior cats commonly need dental exams twice a year.

Even with all the preventive measures, routine professional dental care is necessary to help your cat stay healthy. Dental disease is a major source of many internal infections that are spread from the mouth through the bloodstream to the heart, kidneys/ bladder, liver, etc.. Thorough dental cleaning requires a short anesthetic because infected gums and teeth are very painful. The cleaning process requires a quiet patient and if extractions and gum surgery are necessary anesthesia is needed.

I’m Keiko, and at six years old, I’m pretty much your ‘purr’-fect cat. I’m well mannered, litter box trained, shy at first, but very loving once I know you

Scott McQueen The magic of black is seen in jewelry made from onyx, a black chalcedony quartz with a delicate texture that is often carved into cameos. Though still popular with jewelry designers, onyx was especially popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans.

There’s an old legend about Cupid finding Venus asleep and taking the opportunity to cut her fingernails with an arrowhead.

He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of the heavenly body would ever perish. The stone, as the story goes, was onyx, which brings up an interesting question, “Did Venus wear Vamp?” There may be an explanation. Back in Greek times nearly all colors of chalcedony from fingernail white to dark black were called onyx. Later the Romans narrowed the term to refer to black and dark brown colors only.

Black onyx is used often as a background for color play. Its fine texture makes it ideal for carving and therefore a favored material for today's lapidaries. Onyx was often used as the perfect foil for carved rock crystal or the 'drop dead red' of rubies in art deco designs. It is also popular in marcasite jewelry. Use onyx to add a little black magic to your jewelry design.

LICENSED CONTRACTOR

THIS IS A HAMMER

By Samantha Mazzotta Repair Instructions Aren’t Always Right Q: My cousin often asks me to come over and help with various home-repair projects. The thing is, he isn’t particularly good at these various tasks, particularly plumbing, yet he won’t take advice. He just sticks to the instructions he downloads from the Web, without varying. How can I help him be a little more flexible in how he accomplishes jobs? I’m ready to just stop helping him. -- Barry in Oklahoma City A: It can be pretty difficult to convince a new DIY’er that the instructions for a project aren’t always exactly right. That might seem odd coming from a home-improvement column that offers advice on various projects, but real-life experience offers variables that written instructions can’t always predict.

There’s a lot of ego wrapped up in fixing things yourself, especially when it’s on your own property. So being told you’re wrong about a repair step can be tough to process.

What do I mean by instructions that aren’t always right? Well, instructions for many repairs are given as general instruction -- they don’t address specific brands or models, or the exact problem you’re facing. Take, for example, repairing a dripping faucet. There are plenty of instructions available to fix this problem on the most common types of faucets -- there is the basic compression faucet, but there are also ball, disc and cartridge types. And each manufacturer and model has slight differences -- sometimes it’s just chrome finish versus brushed steel, but others have unique peculiarities.

What if, for example, there’s a problem with a cartridge-type faucet, but when your cousin follows repair directions exactly, the faucet doesn’t work? He’s got to look at other sources or listen to other advice. I’ll give you an example.

My mother called a plumber to install a new cartridge-type faucet recently. She used to do this kind of improvement herself, but in the past few years has decided against complex DIY projects. The plumber installed the faucet, but was stumped as it was non-operational. What to do? My mother had already called the manufacturer and learned that the cartridge had to be installed in a specific sequence. Once she convinced the plumber to follow her initial instructions, the faucet worked perfectly.

For my mother, tact wasn’t a big of a problem because the plumber was getting paid to do the job. For you, since your cousin is family, convincing him to do a job a bit differently from the instructions may take some work. Be patient, make recommendations calmly (like, “hey, why not try this?”) and don’t threaten to leave if he doesn’t follow your advice.

If it’s too stressful to work with your cousin, and giving it one more try didn’t work, then perhaps it’s wiser to just make yourself unavailable for DIY jobs at his place.

HOME TIP: Appliance and part manufacturers often include customer-service numbers on product packaging. Before returning an item to the store because of a problem, contact the manufacturer to see if another solution is available.

ARISE COMPUTER REPAIR Physical protection for your computer is a very important consideration to keep your machine healthy and your data safe. Some examples of actions to take in protecting your computer are; computer location, surge protectors, and dust mitigation.

The location that you choose for your computer should be out of the way of rough activities, high dust, heat and humidity, and potential for spills.

Surge protectors are a must for all computers and components that attach to them. Examples of components are printers, scanners, Ethernet switches and hubs, monitors, DSL and cable modems, etc. If there is a lightning strike on power, telephone, cable TV or even a satellite receiver the high voltage and amperage can travel through the wires and wreak havoc with the electronics. Surge protectors are relatively cheap compared to the cost of replacing valuable electronics as well as important data and files.

Dust buildup inside the case can cause unwanted temperature increases by insulating the heat exchanger on critical components such as the processor, motherboard.

To alleviate this problem an annual dusting is required.

Open the case and using some canned air blow the dust off the components. Do not use a brush attachment from your vacuum cleaner or an air compressor.

Please give us a call for all your computer needs.

Pinecrest Community Church is a fellowship of Christ-followers actively demonstrating our love for God by caring and loving one another and serving the communities we live and work in.

Do we always get it right? Nope. We freely admit that we're imperfect.

We're all different, with different stories and different life struggles, but we come together as one fellowship under the grace and cross of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to take this spiritual journey with us in a casual atmosphere of fellowship, worship, and relevant Biblical teaching.

Way Progress

A woman in a supermarket is following a grandfather and his badly behaved 3-year-old grandson. It's obvious to her that he has his hands full with the child screaming for candy in the candy aisle, cookies in the cookie aisle and for fruit, cereal and soda in the other aisles.

Meanwhile, Grandpa is working his way around, saying in a controlled voice, "Easy William, we won't be long . . . easy, boy." Another outburst and she hears the grandpa calmly say: "It's okay, William, just a couple more minutes and we'll be out of here. Hang in there, boy". At the checkout, the little terror is throwing items out of the cart and Grandpa says again in a controlled voice, "William, William, relax buddy, don't get upset. We'll be home in five minutes, stay cool, William."

Very impressed, the woman goes outside where the grandfather is loading his groceries and the boy into the car. She says to the elderly man, "It's none of my business, but you were amazing in there. I don't know how you did it. That whole time you kept your composure, and no matter how loud and disruptive he got, you just calmly kept saying 'things would be okay.' William is very lucky to have you as his grandpa."

"Thanks," said the grandpa, "but I'm William. The little turd’s name is Kevin."

Is Romance Dead?

A middle-aged couple had finally learned how to send and receive texts on their cell phones. The wife, being a romantic at heart, decided one day that she'd send her husband a text while she was out of the house having coffee with a friend. She texted:

If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.

If you are laughing, send me your smile.

If you are eating, send me a bite.

If you are drinking, send me a sip.

If you are crying, send me your tears.

I love you.

The husband, being a no-nonsense sort of guy, texted back:
