by Janet Spencer On November 23, 1919, the first play-by-play football game in radio broadcast history took place when Texas A & M beat the University of Texas 7 to 0. In honor of this, join Tidbits as we play football! FOOTBALL HISTORY BITS • In a 1897 football game, Georgia was playing the University of Virginia. During a pile-up, a player named Von Gammon ended up on the bottom and was found unconscious. He died of a brain concussion. As a result, the Georgia team disbanded. Protests against the brutality of football spread. A bill was introduced to the Georgia state legislature to ban football from the state. It passed and was sent to the governor for his signature. It looked like football was doomed. But then a woman came forward. She wrote a letter to the governor, pleading with him not to use Von Gammon’s death as an excuse to outlaw a good game. Because of this letter, the Governor refused to sign the bill into law. Football was saved. The woman who had written such an effective letter was Von Gammon’s own mother. • In 1905 there were 18 football deaths in the nation. The violence of the game diminished somewhat when the forward pass was invented, cutting down on the confrontations. (Cont’d next page)

FOOTBALL (cont’d) • In 1890 the Naval Academy in Annapolis challenged the Army institution of West Point to a game, but West Point had no team. A cadet named Dennis Michie accepted that challenge and set about drumming up a team. However, Michie’s father was an officer at West Point and felt that football was a pathetic game. He told his son to quit the project. Dennis Michie defied his father, and three weeks later 300 spectators watched the first Army-Navy game in history. The inexperienced Army team lost 24 to 0. Not even Dennis Michie’s father could swallow such a defeat. He ordered his son to do better next year and beat the pants off the Navy. Today the football stadium at West Point is named after Dennis Michie, founder of the Army-Navy rivalry. • In 1893 a little old lady watched the Annapolis football team play a game. She was friendly with a player named Reeves. During the game she saw Reeves take a pretty hard hit in the head during a pile up. Thinking about that blow to the skull, she became so concerned that she went home and designed a crude helmet for him. When he wore it in the next game, fans laughed and players teased. But it started a new fashion and before long helmets were standard gear. • During a football game at West Point a player sat on the bench watching Jim Thorpe run all over the field. As he was sitting there dreaming of becoming as great a player as Thorpe, the coach called him and sent him into the game. His moment of fame was at hand! Unfortunately, during his very first play he was hit so hard that his leg was broken and he was carried from the field, his dreams shattered. He never played football again, but the player went on to other successes. He was Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Welcome to Goose Tips! This is Kat with the Wounded Goose. I’ll be the the first to admit that when I was a kid I didn’t appreciate the value of a dollar...let alone a penny. After awhile though, pennies add up to dollars. The Wounded Goose opened on April 1, 2009. That 6 1/2 years (just about 2400 days ago). The neat thing is we started saving a dollar a day...in pennies...More that 20 dedicated workers, 4 days and almost 250,000 pennies later we have a gorgeous, copper, handlaid, made in the USA floor in the dining room. They say a penny saved is a penny earned. I think a penny saved is a tile floor.

Should Mom Let Boy Adopt Pit Bull?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re going to adopt a dog now that I’m 10 years old. I saw a pit bull puppy that I liked at the shelter, but my mom said no, because they’re vicious. My friend said that’s not true. What can I do to persuade her to adopt this dog? -- Braedon in Alpharetta, Ga. DEAR BRAEDON: Before I answer, I do want to tell you that your mom has your best interests and safety in mind. And because of the many publicized incidents about pit bull attacks and aggressive behavior, her first reaction is to keep you from getting hurt. Ultimately, she will be the one to approve the type of dog to adopt. But you can try to sway her opinion with a few myth-busting facts, courtesy of the American Pit Bull Association (americanpitbullfoundation.com/pit-bull-mythsdebunked): * Pit bulls’ temperament is often better than that of other breeds. In temperament testing (atts.org/

breed-statistics/statistics-page1), American pit bull terriers had a passing rate of 86.8 percent, and other pit bull breeds scored above 82 percent -well above the general dog population’s average of 77 percent. * Pit bulls originally were bred as working dogs and are typically energetic, intelligent and stubborn. Like other working breeds, they do best when socialized early with other dogs and humans, and with lots of training and attention. * Pit bulls’ jaws are not stronger than other dogs, nor do they “lock” when they bite. You and your mom should look for certain traits in every dog you’re considering. Each dog’s temperament is unique; ask the shelter about current and past behavior. Meet a potential dog with as many family members as possible. And research each breed before deciding which dog to adopt.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS • When the Nomads were up against Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame, Rockne could not understand why so many of his players were suddenly breaking their ribs. Player after player was hauled out of the game on a stretcher and the team doctor admitted that perfectly normal ribs were breaking like kite sticks. Rockne got suspicious and found that the Nomads were wearing steel knee braces. Rockne hit the roof while the Nomad coach feigned ignorance. “Guess they didn’t want to hurt their knees,” he said. From then on a new rule was on the books that made it illegal for any player to wear steel knee braces. • On October 7, 1916, the powerful Georgia Tech team invited little Cumberland College to play on Tech’s field. Cumberland did not have a regular team, but they rounded up some guys. The game didn’t go well for Cumberland, and later fullback A.L. Macdonald recalled making “our longest gain of the day when I lost 5 yards.” One Cumberland player is said to have fumbled the ball and yelled at a teammate to pick it up. But with five big Georgia Tech guys bearing down on him, he yelled back, “You pick it up! You dropped it!” The game was called in the third quarter and the final score was Georgia Tech 222, Cumberland 0. • Quarterback Harry Adams was playing for Montana in a game against Washington State in 1920. He had a badly injured ankle but insisted on playing anyway. When a punt went over his head, he limped along to retrieve it, but by the time he picked it up he was flanked by two very large Washington ends who were running at him full tilt getting ready to tackle him. “Don’t hit him, he’s hurt!” yelled one of the ends. At that point both players very carefully picked Adams up and gently laid him on his back on the field.

* It was 20th-century American journalist Walter Lippmann who made the following sage observation: “Our conscience is not the vessel of eternal verities. It grows with our social life, and a new social condition means a radical change in conscience.” * According to a recent analysis of data from the online music streaming service Spotify and artist popularity data from a website called The Echo Nest, Americans tend to stop listening to new music at the age of 33. * John Tyler, born March 29, 1790, was the 10th president of the United States. He was married twice and had a total of 15 children. These children, collectively, were witness to a surprisingly large swath of American history. The oldest, Mary Tyler Jones, was born in 1815, the year that saw the end of the War of 1812; the youngest, Pearl Tyler Ellis, survived until 1947, two years after the end of World War II. President Tyler even has two grandsons who are still alive today. * You might be surprised to learn that it costs the U.S. government nearly 2 cents to mint a single penny. * Unless you’ve been to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, it’s difficult to believe just how blue the water of that lake appears. In fact, there was a time when the rich blues made the professionals at Kodak believe the photos to be overdeveloped, and the pictures would be returned at no charge. * Those who study such things say that if you were (for reasons unspecified) to eat the liver of a polar bear, you’d die. The amount of vitamin A stored in that organ constitutes a fatal dose for humans. *** Thought for the Day: “You never know what you’ll want to write until it starts writing itself in your head.” -- Jill Ker Conway (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

MEMORABLE PLAYS • During a game between Clemson & Mercer, a referee turned to Clemson’s halfback, Streak Lawton, and said: “Streak, this is the last game of the season and you have just 60 seconds left to make history.” On the next play, Mercer punted, and Lawton returned the punt 90 yards for a touchdown. As he walked past the referee, Lawton was heard to ask, “What are the other 40 seconds for?” • Coach Fielding Yost was giving his team an intense pep-talk during half time, whipping the team into a fury. “All right men!” he hollered. “Follow me to victory!” He yanked open a door to the locker room and ran out. But he had pulled open the wrong door. He plunged headfirst into the swimming pool, followed by the entire team. In their heavy football gear, several of the players nearly drowned before they were pulled out. • Joe Namath was listening to a lecture by coach Bear Bryant, who was goading them to do well in their college classes because there was more to life than football and he didn’t want any dumbbells on his team. “If there is a dumbbell in the room, I wish he would stand up,” Bear said. Namath immediately stood up. “How come you’re standing up? You ain’t dumb,” asked Bear. “Coach,” replied Namath, “I just hate like the devil for you to be standing up there by yourself.” • Coach Knute Rockne would often drill his players by setting up imaginary situations and grilling them about what they would do next if caught in such a position. One day he said, “It’s our ball, fourth quarter, we’re behind by three points, ball on our 45-yard line, fourth down, three to go— what do you do?” He asked a third-string quarterback. “Well, Mr. Rockne,” replied the bench-warmer, “I’d slide a few yards down on the bench to get a better look at the next play.”

Noteworthy Inventions ETCH A SKETCH

• In 1959 a 37-year-old man named Arthur Granjean invented what he called “L’Ecran Magique” (“magic screen”) in his garage in Paris. He took it to the International Toy Fair in Nuremburg, Germany. The Ohio Art Company bought the rights to it in 1960 for $25,000 and renamed it the Etch A Sketch. They advertised it widely in time for the Christmas season in 1960 and sales immediately took off. They’ve sold over 100 million since then. • How does it work? There’s a stylus, or pointer, mounted on two rails. Using a system of wires and pulleys, one rail moves back and forth, and the other moves up and down when the knobs turn. The gray stuff is powdered aluminum mixed with tiny plastic beads. The beads help the powder flow easily. The aluminum powder sticks to the glass because of static electricity. When the stylus moves, it touches the glass and scrapes the aluminum powder off. Shake it, and the aluminum is redistributed evenly. • The basic design hasn’t changed a bit since 1960, although variations on the model have been introduced. Now there are pocket-sized models, travel size models, glow-in-the-dark models (only the frame glows), and also noisy models. The Zooper model makes all kinds of weird noises - beeps, boops, squeaks, and squawks - as the knobs turn. Also available is the Etch A Sketch “action pack” which offers various puzzles and games printed on overlays placed on top of the screen. • To celebrate the toy’s 25th anniversary in 1985, the Ohio Art Company came out with an “Executive” model made of silver with drawing knobs set with sapphires and topaz and a handcarved logo at the top. Price: $3,750.

ETCH A SKETCH (Cont’d)

• Today it’s estimated that 8,000 Etch A Sketches are sold every day. In 2000 the Ohio Art Company moved the Etch A Sketch factory to China. • Steve Jacobs created the world’s largest Etch A Sketch at the Black Rock Arts Festival in California in 1997. He placed 144 regulationsized Etch A Sketches in a huge square and surrounded them with a huge red Etch A Sketch frame, including huge white knobs. It qualified him for a Guinness World Record. • A Canadian computer programmer named Neil Fraser pulled the knobs off a standard Etch A Sketch and hooked it up to two motors which attached to the port of his computer. The motors work by remote control, enabling Fraser to draw without ever touching the toy. Robotic components are also able to tilt the Etch A Sketch upside-down and shake it. • George Vlosich creates works of art using the Etch A Sketch as an artistic medium. He was a nine-year-old kid in 1989 when, on a long drive, he brought along his Etch A Sketch for backseat entertainment. A sketch he drew was so good his parents took a picture of it. An artist was born. Because one of his main interests was sports, he began sketching portraits of sports heroes. Then he waited after games hoping to get them to autograph his Etch A Sketch. His reputation as the “Etch A Sketch Kid” grew quickly. It takes George between 40 and 60 hours to complete a single Etch A Sketch masterpiece. After it’s done, he carefully unscrews the back and removes the excess aluminum powder to preserve the picture forever. Today George is known far and wide for his artwork and has appeared countless times on radio, TV, in newspapers, and magazines. His Etch A Sketch artwork sells for up to $10,000.

• In the early days of the 1800s, trade was just beginning to open up between Japan and America. Most American trade ships docked in the port of Yokohama. The city had one main street that was well-policed at night, and it was called Honcho-dori Street. It was the only safe thoroughfare in town; sailors caught in the city after dark trying to return to their ship through twisting alleys and convoluted byways were far more likely to be robbed, beaten and murdered. Therefore men being granted shore leave were warned never to wander through Yokohama at night, and to stick to the main route of Honchodori street, where they could be assured that everything would be “hunky-dori” which is how the phrase came into English. • The French “hoche” means “a shaking.” Add that to the word “pot” and you have “a shaking together in a pot.” “Hotch-pot” became the word for a stew and led to our “hodgepodge” meaning a jumbled assortment. • In Middle English “habben” meant to have; and “ne habben” meant to have not. “Habben, ne habben” was eventually abbreviated to “hobnob.” • In Massachusetts in 1812, Governor Elbridge Gerry pressured the legislature to re-district the state to insure his victory in the next election. A team of men re-drew the voting boundaries to include any pockets they could find of Elbridge supporters. One voting district in Essex County looked like a dragon. Someone looking at a map of the new district mentioned that it looked like a salamander. A bystander said a better name would be Gerrymander, after the Governor. And that’s how “gerrymander” came to mean tampering with something to make it advantageous to yourself. (Continued next page)

• Edward I of England invaded Scotland in 1296. In every town that was overtaken, he would force the local politicians to sign a document pledging support to the King. The generic term for any official document written on a scroll was “ragman roll.” Officials made public readings of the long boring ragman rolls, where people got tired of listening to what we now call “rigamarole.” • During the days of knights in shining armor, a “buckler” was a small shield used to defend oneself from the blows of an adversary’s sword. “Swash” meant the same thing as the word “swish” today: the sound that a sword cutting through the air might make. Therefore a “swashbuckler” was a man who made a great show of fencing, by swashing his sword and striking his opponent’s buckler. • In John Milton’s poem “Paradise Lost” written in 1667, the city of Pandemonium is the capital of hell. Pandemonium is coined from the terms “pan” meaning “all” and “daimon” meaning demons: the city of All Demons. • “Lady Gunhilda” was the name bestowed upon a large catapult that protected Windsor Castle in 14th century England. Eventually the weapon’s name was shortened to “Lady Gun” and then to simply “Gun” which then became a word that denoted any catapult, or any weapon that would hurl things such as bullets: a gun. • What does a catacomb have to do with a cat or a comb? Nothing. The word is from the Greek “kata” meaning down, and “kumbe” meaning hollow. • The Latin word “supra” means over and “saltus” means jump. “Suprasaltus” passed through Spanish, French and Old English before becoming our somersault.

Not Just Parties, a GREAT Place to Eat & Play ANYTIME!

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been having weird spells for about six months. They occur only occasionally and last a couple of days and nights. They awaken me out of sleep and are a little frightening. It starts with a burning sensation on the right side of my nose. I feel as if I have to remember something, and a wave of warmth floods over my upper torso, down to my arms. I feel my heart fluttering, and am a little sick to my stomach. I also have funny sensations in my right ear. It lasts a few seconds, and I just have to ride it out. When it’s over, I feel weak for a while. I saw a neurologist, who mentioned that it might be anxiety, which made me mad -- being awakened out of a sound sleep doesn’t seem to me that I am anxious, as I have no trouble sleeping! He wanted to put me on a medication with a lot of side effects, such as dizziness and hallucinations. I do not want to be on medication, but I also don’t want to have a grand mal seizure. He could not tell me if I could have one or not. I only want affirmation that I am not crazy! -- L.G. ANSWER: You aren’t crazy. Your neurologist may be right -- this can be related to anxiety -- but I wouldn’t jump to that diagnosis without considering a few things first. A warm sensation over different parts of your body should make your doctor think of conditions like carcinoid syndrome and pheochromocytoma. These are tumors that secrete hormone-like substances that can cause odd feelings, such as flushing or warmth, in different parts of the body. They can be screened for with simple urine and blood tests. I agree with you that being awakened with this sensation makes anxiety or panic attack less likely. It does not sound like a seizure disorder to me. Sometimes, people notice sensations that defy medical explanation. In that case, we generally just try to make sure it isn’t something that doesn’t threaten life or health and help people minimize and live with the symptoms. DEAR DR. ROACH: I have to take levothyroxine in order to obtain an acceptable TSH number. I have read that some doctors are stating that there is a relationship between hypothyroidism and gluten intolerance, possibly even celiac disease. Is this proven to the point that a patient should alter his or her diet and give up the basic foods of bread and cereal? -- R.K. ANSWER: People with celiac disease have a much higher risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (especially Hashimoto’s, the most common cause of low thyroid) than expected, to the point where everyone with celiac disease should have a blood test to look at thyroid levels. Celiac disease, or intolerance of gluten in general, may have few or subtle symptoms, and it might be worthwhile to consider testing for celiac disease in people with autoimmune thyroid disease. However, I would not recommend a drastic change in diet for people with thyroid disease if there are no symptoms. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

The Royal We The question was met with a wince of pain that quickly metamorphosed into a look of utter disbelief and disdain. “Now why on Earth would we ever want to do that?” was the reply. It wasn’t the first time my ol’ pardner, the late, great Bill Grigsby, the Kansas City announcer best known for being the longtime voice of the Chiefs and one of the first announcers of the Super Bowl, shot me down. At the time we collaborated on a community newspaper in Kansas City, and I had the swell idea to start a “Royals Review” column to augment our sports section. “Kid,” he said to me, “I paid my dues covering bad baseball when I called the Kansas City A’s for Charlie O’Finley, and I wouldn’t even take the time to piss on that [man’s] grave.” “Why not, Bill?” I asked. This time he shot me a look of annoyance. “Because the line is always too damn long!” Good ol’ Grigs ... I set ‘em up and he’d knock ‘em down. Fine, I said, I’d cover the lousy games myself. But then the Royals hired Ned Yost. He had flamed out as a catcher in the big leagues, but I knew him as the bullpen coach for the dynastic Braves of the ‘90s. He was mistreated badly in Milwaukee, and now he had a second chance. Yost was almost universally panned from the start for the way he handled the pitching staff. He stayed the course. He made players change positions. Alex Gordon, who looked like a pretty good third baseman, would learn to play left field from scratch. Again, he was panned. And then, whether it was his idea or not, the Royals shook George Brett awake from his front-office desk and made him the team’s interim batting coach. Ask the Royals core players -- Moustakas, Gordon, Hosmer, Cain -- what it meant to have a living legend and a guy who knew nothing but how to compete to win all the time on the bench, on road trips, on flights, presumably in bars, with them during his short reign. Then they called these anti-moneyball Royals and their coach stupid for their style of play. Duh? Didn’t they know they were not supposed to be aggressive at the plate anymore? That they shouldn’t be swinging all the time? That fans wanted on-base percentages and walks? That stealing bases often hurt teams more than they helped? Swinging at the first pitch? No bonafide home-run hitters? Sacrilege! Challenging hitters with relievers who were always rested and available because Yost was too stubborn to deviate from his plan to use one pitcher for his one designated inning and telling him to throw 1,000-mph fastballs straight down the pipe to challenge the other team’s hitters to put the ball in play due to his superior defensive team? Hummm ... on second thought, that sort of made sense, didn’t it? Well Grigs, ol’ pardner, we may never got to see these games together but in the long run, it turned out more than just a little bit OK for those that stuck by this franchise, that is, the Royal We. Congratulations, Kansas City. You’re a helluva town. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Perfect Pumpkin Bread

B u l l eti n B o a rd FOSTER SUPPLY COMPANY

A warm, comforting aroma of the season will waft throughout your home when you bake this delicious and moist pumpkin bread that my neighbor passed on to me years ago. It never disappoints. It must be the smooth canned pumpkin that provides the consistent results. Get your kids involved in the planning and shopping. Before you head for the grocery store, let them investigate and see if the spices and baking powder hiding in the back of your cupboard are out of date. Fresh is always best. When it’s time to bake, gather the ingredients and basic tools you’ll need, and set out them out on the counter. Preheat the oven, put on aprons and get started. Measure, sniff, stir and talk together as you make and bake this spicy bread. Serve slices warm with mugs of cider, and relax together as you experience a new fall memory and one of the simple joys of family and home. PERFECT PUMPKIN BREAD 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin 1 3/4 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon each: ground cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup raisins or coarsely chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts (optional)

* On Nov. 28, 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-uponAvon. Six months later, Anne gives birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins. * On Nov. 27, 1703, an unusual freak storm finally dissipates over England after wreaking havoc for two weeks. Packing hurricane-strength winds, the storm killed between 10,000 and 30,000 people, and sank hundreds of Royal Navy ships. * On Nov. 29, 1929, American explorer Richard Byrd and three companions make the first flight over the South Pole. In 1996, a diary of Byrd’s was found that seemed to suggest his plane had turned back 150 miles short of its goal because of an oil leak. * On Nov. 23, 1936, the first issue of Life magazine is published, featuring a cover photo of the Fort Peck Dam. When it folded during the Great Depression, publisher Henry Luce bought the name and re-launched Life as a picture-based periodical. * On Nov. 26, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs a bill officially establishing the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. In 1789, President George Washington had proclaimed a holiday of national thanksgiving for the U.S. Constitution. * On Nov. 24, 1971, a hijacker calling himself D.B. Cooper -- wearing only wraparound sunglasses, a thin suit and a raincoat -- parachutes from an airplane into a thunderstorm with 100mph winds and temperatures well below zero over Washington state. Despite a massive search, no trace of Cooper or the $200,000 in ransom money he carried was ever found.

People who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease might want to reconsider doing strenuous exercise as a means of keeping their physical abilities. A recent short-term study concluded that normal, frequent movements are better for Parkinson’s patients than working out. The study was funded by some power hitters -- the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Michael J. Fox Foundation and the National Institutes of Health -- and conducted by Parkinson’s research teams at the University of Michigan. Their conclusions bear paying attention to, even though they might seem contrary to logic. Many Parkinson’s patients begin to reduce the amount of time they spend moving. Whether it’s a walk around the block, doing dishes or strolling the aisles of the grocery store, many prefer to forgo those daily activities to keep from falling or losing balance. In the four-week study, using 48 participants, researchers looked at the result of nonexercise movement versus exercise activity. They did PET scans of the brain to look at dopamine levels and used questionnaires to learn about the participants’ level of activity and the type they did -- daily routines or exercise. Researchers tested whether a strenuous exercise program such as swimming or aerobics could help with symptoms. The answer: No, it’s the daily, small activities that were protecting motor skills. It’s those routine movements that were linked to fewer motor symptoms, even in those patients with lower dopamine levels. So, say the researchers, get up and move. Any kind of movement appears to help, as long as it keeps you active and doing your normal, daily tasks.

receives health care through the VA. Witness A said it took over a year to get access to the VA’s health care. Once in, he asked for a mental-health consult for mild symptoms. It took more than a month to get an appointment. The physician dispensed pills, and within two weeks those initial mild symptoms became much worse. He stopped taking the pills and felt better, but it was over a month before he could get another exam. The doctor offered to prescribe another kind of pill. Witness A asked to try cognitive therapy, but the VA doesn’t provide that kind of care ... only pills. In his next attempt to get care, he kept leaving messages in an attempt to get an appointment, but no one ever responded to his calls. Now the
