• From 1909 to 1911 McCurdy participated in flying exhibitions all over North America. Hoping to give the people of Cuba their first glimpse of mechanized flight, officials in Havana offered him $8,000 ($100,000 in today’s dollars) if he would be the first to fly from Key West to Havana. Although the 94mile (151 km) journey doesn’t seem like a big deal today, McCurdy knew that if the flight succeeded, he would set a new world record for distance travelled over open water.

• McCurdy had taken the precaution of shipping a second plane to Havana, and without even changing his clothes, he treated onlookers to a flying exhibition. City officials pledged to give McCurdy the prize money even though he hadn’t officially completed the original flight. At a gala ceremony in his honor, he was handed a fancy envelope. However, when he opened the envelope later, he found it empty. After making discreet inquiries as to how he could get his prize money, he was advised that it would be a touchy and difficult matter. He ultimately dropped the issue. • Douglas McCurdy went on to achieve much more. In 1915, he established the first aviation school in Canada, and was the first manager of Canada’s first airport. He was also instrumental in setting up an aircraft manufacturing company located in Toronto. In 1947, McCurdy was appointed lieutenant-governor of Nova Scotia, a post he continued until 1952. • Douglas McCurdy died in 1961, just a few years short of seeing man land on the moon. ‪

• Suddenly, just a few miles short of his goal, his engine quit as one cylinder after another gave out. He was forced to ditch in the ocean while Cuban citizens gasped in horror. Fortunately, the water was calm and the pontoons worked. The U.S.S. Pauling took only 15 minutes to reach the downed aircraft. McCurdy joked that his feet never even got wet, but the plane was a complete loss. Still, he had managed to set two records: it was officially the longest flight ever, and it was also the first flight ever taken that left the sight of land.

MILESTONES IN AVIATION HISTORY

• During that flight, Alcock and Brown took with them Lucky Jim and Twinkletoes -- two stuffed black cats, for luck. However, these “lucky” charms didn’t work as planned. First, a super-heated exhaust pipe disintegrated, and then a heavy fog blinded their view causing disorientation for both pilots. They managed to recover from a downward spiral at the last moment when the plane dove out of the fog only 100 feet above the sea.

LEAPING FOR LIFE • Goyathlay was an Apache born in 1829. Given his name as an infant, it means “one who yawns.” He married and had three children. In 1851, Mexican soldiers brutally attacked his encampment and killed many, including Goyathlay’s family. Angered and bent on revenge, the survivors went after the Mexicans. • Goyathlay battled fearlessly and without mercy, and his reputation as a vicious fighter spread quickly. Frightened for their lives, the Catholic Mexican community appealed to St. Jerome for help. Afterwards, the remaining Mexicans remarked on the legend of bravery earned by the Apache warrior. They didn’t know his name, so they gave him a nickname, after the Mexican word for St. Jerome. It stuck. • Goyathlay, now known by his new nickname, became a military leader of his tribe who led many successful skirmishes. But in 1886, tired of constant pursuit, he surrendered to the U.S. Cavalry. He became a popular war icon in his old age, and died a celebrity in 1909.

Women Veterans React Differently to TBI

Treatment of veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury has been difficult because of the many symptoms that the illness presents. Now add another barrier ... there are differences in symptoms between men and women. Women veterans with TBI suffer from chronic pain, joblessness, PTSD, homelessness and depression in greater numbers than male veterans. They are more likely to suffer from anxiety, neurological problems and sleep disorders. Additionally, women veterans are more likely to suffer from multiple symptoms. If PTSD is part of the package, women likely take longer to heal. Odette Harris, associate professor of neurosurgery at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Health Care System, studied the effects of TBI on women veterans. She began with the fact that women veterans are more likely to be single parents and more likely to suffer from harassment and assault related to gender, both of which add to stress of TBI. Her research concluded that women veterans with TBI are: --Four times more likely than male veterans to have substance-abuse problems. --Seven times more likely to be homeless, and 2.7 times more likely to be unemployed. --30 percent more likely to also have PTSD. (The good news here is that women are more likely to ask for help and respond to treatment as well as men, if not better.) Harris produced video narratives of women veterans describing their conditions in the hope that fresh approaches to treatment will come out of the new paradigm: men and women who have TBI need different care because they have4 different sympWED., SEPT. toms.

Based on emails I get from many women, I sometimes find it hard to believe that we are living in the 21st century! It is just so sad, and even shocking, what some men will do to their wives or ex wives. In these cases, I’m not talking about physical abuse, although I can only imagine what some of the women who share their stories with me have had to put up with. But I am talking about how some men treat women emotionally and financially -- and more specifically, how Social Security gets involved in these matters. I’ve dealt with these issues before. (One of my columns that got the most feedback from readers was titled something like, “When you are married to a jerk!”) However, the sad emails from sometimes desperate women just keep flowing into my inbox, so I’ve got to address the issue again.

For the past 25 years, my husband and I have owned a small store in which we sell and repair vacuum cleaners. I do the selling, and he does the repairing. Even though the vast majority of our income comes from the sales end of the business, my husband (and his accountant, who is one of his oldest friends) has always insisted that all of the profits, and therefore all of the Social Security credits, be listed under his name and Social Security number on our tax return. I was always OK with this. But now we are getting divorced, and I worried that I was dumb to go along with their little accounting scheme. I am 58 years old, and now I’m starting to worr y about my retirement years.

My husband and I are getting a di vorce after 30 years of marriage. I worked for a short while before we were married, but was a stay-at-home mom for the past three decades. To put it mildly, our divorce is an acrimonious one. He was a philandering fool, but he blames me for driving him into the arms of his mistresses! I am frankly happy to be rid of him. I was about to sign the divorce papers, but my lawyer just informed me that my husband and his lawyer are insisting on a clause in our divorce decree that stipulates that I cannot have access to any of his Social Security, both while he is alive and after he is gone. My lawyer tells me we should hold out and fight this in the courts. I think I recall a past column in which you discussed something similar like this. What can I do?

First, you can think about getting a new lawyer. Second, you can sign the divorce papers.

HEARING AID CENTER

My wonderful pet cat, “Andy,” and I shared our love, companionship and friendship for nearly 15 years. He died last fall and I have grieved over him ever since. Now, family and friends believe I should adopt a new kitten. Even though I feel doing so would be disrepectful to Andy, I know having a new companion to love might help fill the void he has left. I just wonder if you think this would be a wise idea.

I definitely do. Pets ask only for food, companionship and shelter. If you are able to provide those needs, why not brighten your life with a new buddy to love and care for? Psychiatrists believe pets bless and enrich our days with their love, companionship, stress reduction and playfulness, and can actually add more years to our lives!

Your teapot was made by Taylor, Smith & Taylor Co. in East Liverpool, Ohio. Lu-Ray was one of their lines of dinnerware. Complete dinnerware sets were available in pastel colors like Sharon Pink, Persian Cream, Surf Green, Chatham Gray and Windsor Blue. John Taylor and Charles Smith founded their company in 1899 and produced semi-porcelain. They were joined by Taylor’s son and built a factory in Chester, Ohio. Around 1906, Smith bought out the Taylors, but kept the name. Lu-Ray-ware was manufactured in plain, soft pastel colors and can be recognized by simple streamlined shapes that were representative of mid-20th century design. Through the years, Taylor, Smith and Taylor made dinnerware for hotels and restaurants, as well as kitchenware and ovenware. The factory was bought by Anchor Hocking Corporation in 1972. By 1981, due to a decline in profits, they were forced to
