FAMOUS PEOPLE: JAMES NAISMITH Th k to Thanks t Canadian-born C di b JJames N Naismith, i ith th the world enjoys the popular sport of basketball. Here’s the lowdown on the origins of this sport and its inventor. • A native of Almonte, Ontario, Naismith studied at Montreal’s McGill University, majoring in physical education. Naismith was a multitalented athlete, representing his college in football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, and gymnastics He then earned a diploma from the Presbyterian College in Montreal. Following graduation, he became the physical education teacher at his alma mater McGill University, a post he retained for three years. • In 1890, Naismith made the move across the border to take a position in Massachusetts at Springfield College, which was the international YMCA training school. During the severe New England winters, students became unruly and restless when confined indoors, and in 1891, Naismith’s supervisor gave him two weeks to come up with an indoor activity that would help athletes stay in shape, while reducing their cabin fever and rambunctious behavior. • Naismith devised a game using a soccer ball and two peach baskets as goals, with nine players on each team. He named his new game “Basket Ball,â€? and went on to establish 13 basic rules. Two years later, the peach baskets were replaced with iron hoops and a hammock-style basket. But it was several years before open-ended nets were used. Prior to that, each time a goal was scored, the ball was manually retrieved from the basket. • After five years in Springfield, Naismith
Please Don’t Litter
m moved on, back to his studies, receiving his MD in 11898. He took a teaching position at the University of Kansas, where he founded that institution’s o JJayhawks basketball program, and was their ccoach until 1907. It was not Naismith’s intention to establish their sports program. He had planned to teach physical education and act as the chapel director. To Naismith, basketball was just a game, and he actually preferred wrestling and gymnastics, believing they were better forms of physical activity. • It would be logical to think that a team coached by the inventor of basketball would have an outstanding record. But Naismith was not a competitive type, and he felt the game should be played “for fun and health.â€? He rarely attended the team’s practices, and his record of 55-60 reflected his lack of interest. He remains the only losing coach in the history of the Kansas basketball team. • Yet Naismith saw his invention thrive as basketball became an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 in St. Louis. It was made an official event at Berlin’s 1936 Summer Olympics, and the 74-yearold Naismith himself handed out the gold medal to the United States’ team, the silver to Canada, and the bronze medal to Mexico. He remarked that seeing the game played by so many nations was the greatest reward he could have received. Little did he know that the game would go on to be played by 300 million people worldwide today. • Naismith authored two books, A Modern College in 1911 and Essence of a Healthy Life in 1910. He also served for a short time during World War I. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame (officially the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame) in 1959. The facility is located in Springfield, Massachusetts, the site of the game’s invention.

New Food Guidelines Reveal Cancer Risk It used to be much simpler to know what to eat. Remember the Basic 7 food groups we ate as children? That became the Basic Four. Then for years we followed the Food Pyramid, which was followed by MyPyramid. More recently we have MyPlate telling us how and what to eat.
Buy Early Bird Tickets Now! At Rockwoods Grill or online at:
www.rockwoodsjamfest.com Then there were all the changes to specific foods. Coffee was good, and then it was bad. Chocolate was bad, and then it was good. Add aging and physical changes and doctors’ orders, and our diets have likely changed even more. We haven’t known why, really, we should eat or avoid certain foods. Now we do know. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has created a graphic that shows exactly how harmful or helpful certain foods and drinks are -- and how likely they are to increase or reduce risk of cancer. Here are some of the specific cancer risks from the graphic: ♥ Two glasses of milk per day causes a 60 percent increase in the risk of prostate cancer. Dairy protein products do, too, but at a rate of 32 percent increased risk. ♥ Two or three glasses of alcohol -- 21 percent increase. Processed meat -- 21 percent. Red meat -- 28 percent. ♥ A “Western diet” (burger, fries and a drink) -- a whopping 200 percent. On the other side of the scale, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage) lower the risk 18 percent. Fruits -- 11 percent. Carotenoid vegetables (think: orange color) -- 19 percent. A healthy lifestyle in general gets us a 30 percent decrease in cancer risk. Before you make any big changes to your diet, run this information by your doctor and ask for advice. Given how fast the guidelines change, there might be updated news.

▲ People who sustain brain injuries can suffer from a variety of maladies. One of the stranger ones is anosognosia. The victim suffers from some sort of disability, such as losing the ability to move a limb, but that’s not unusual; what makes anosognosia so fascinating is that the person suffering from the limitation seems completely unable to believe that any limitation exists, despite voluminous evidence to the contrary.

▲ If you’re a cat lover, you might not be surprised to learn that a group of felines can be referred to as a glaring, a pounce, a clutter or a clowder. Feral cats en masses are known as a destruction of cats.
▲ Every May, horse lovers flock to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to see the world’s finest thoroughbreds race in the Kentucky Derby. While there, spectators will collectively consume more than 1,800 gallons of mint juleps.
▲ Greyhounds have better vision than any other breed of dog.
▲ When you think of hibernating bears, you typically imagine some cozy cave in the woods, right? Well, the next time you’re out for a winter hike, you’d better pay close attention to exactly where you’re going; some bears spend the cold season curled up on the ground in large nests made of branches.
▲ How would you like to brush your teeth with salt, chalk or ground brick? The first tooth powders that were used with toothbrushes were made of just such materials.
▲ Eleanor Ritchey was the granddaughter of Philip John Bayer, founder of Quaker State Oil. She was the sole inheritor of her grandfather’s fortune, and she had no children of her own. When she died in 1968 she was worth $12 million. Other than some shoes (1,700 pairs) and stationery (1,200 boxes) that she left to the Salvation Army, her entire estate was used to create a trust for the 150 stray dogs she had adopted. The pets lived in luxury, dying of old age one by one, until 1984, when the last one -- the richest dog in the country -- also succumbed. The remainder of the inheritance then went to Auburn University.
▲ Lee DeForest, known as the Father of Radio, said in 1926, “While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially I consider it an impossibility, a development of which we need to waste little time dreaming.”
▲ In Saudi Arabia, there is an entire police unit dedicated solely to the pursuit of crimes of witchcraft.
▲ It was Flannery O’Connor, noted American writer of novels and short stories, who made the following observation: “Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them.”

Tidbits is honoring Smithsonian Day on August 10 by bringing you some facts on this institution, home to 137 million artifacts, works of arts, and specimens. • James Smithson was an English chemist, mineralogist, and Oxford graduate who devoted his life to science, authoring 27 published papers on mineralogy. Although he had never even visited the United States, upon his death in 1829, he left his entire estate “to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an Establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” • Smithson’s bequest was sent to the U.S. in the form of gold sovereigns filling 11 boxes, along with his personal items, scientific papers, minerals, and library. The gold was sent to the U.S. treasury in Philadelphia to be reminted, a total of $508,318. • Smithson died and was buried in Italy, and the U.S. consulate in Genoa maintained his grave site there until 1903. That year, famous inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who was a regent for the Smithsonian, traveled to Genoa with his wife to have the body exhumed.
