Whether the source is man-made, or by fire or from heavenly bodies, light that guides our way at night have been both a necessity and a comfort since mankind has walked the earth. This week Tidbits sheds some light of our own on the subject and looks at things both small and large that glow in the dark, as well as neon lights that shine in some pretty spectacular ways!

opposition of slavery, and leading abolitionists of the time were often guests in the Anthony’s home. During the frequent meetings held there, Susan heard the views of Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips and William Lloyd Garrison, all prominent and outspoken activists against slavery. • She attended a Quaker school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and ultimately entered the teaching profession. She became the preceptress, or lady principal, at Canajoharie Academy, in Canajoharie, New York for two years in the late 1840s. At age 26, she earned $110 per year at the academy. • After Anthony left the academy, she went on to speak at teachers conventions in New York and Massachusetts, calling for equal educational opportunities at all schools, including colleges and universities. • Anthony worked as an agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1856, promoting the cause up until the Civil War. She met Elizabeth Cady Stanton and joined with her as a major speaker and contributor to seek more rights for women and end slavery. • Following the Civil War, Anthony focused more Susan B.

NIGHT LIGHTS (from page one) comforted by a soft light to help them overcome their fear. Many of them hear a song about the night sky long before they learn to talk. “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” was published in England in 1806 by Jane Taylor and her sister, Ann. Although the tune, written in France in 1761, is considerably older than the poem, it is forever associated with the “Twinkle, Twinkle” song. • Another “tune” that came from Paris was the distinctive buzz of neon lights. French inventor Georges Claude, a chemist and engineer, was a pioneer in the development of neon lighting. • Neon gas was first discovered in 1898. The word neon was chosen for the gas from the Greek word “neos” which means “new gas.” A predecessor to the neon light was the Geissler Moore method that used pressurized gas in glass tubes with electric voltage to create colorful lights. When neon was discovered it proved to be a more lasting gas for tube lights.

• Neon was in short supply until Georges Claude’s company, “Air Liquide,” began producing it in large quantities. Claude made his first neon light in 1902 and first displayed his invention at the Paris Motor Show in December, 1910, with two 39-foot long bright red tubes of neon light. Showgoers viewed it with amazement.

• The “liquid fire” signs, as some called them, began dominating outdoor advertising displays in American cities from coast to coast. Las Vegas soon became a solitary glowing city surrounded by the nighttime darkness of the desert. It was soon filled with neon brilliance throughout on signs, buildings, architectural accents, and even neon animations.

• The first commercial neon sign was sold to a barber shop in Paris in 1912, by Jaques Fonseque, an associate of Claude. • When red and blue tubes of neon lights were installed decorating the Paris Opera House

• Claude received his first patent for neon lighting in Paris in 1911 and another in the United States in 1915. • Controversy exists among some whether Claude deserves all the credit for introducing neon lighting. Some evidence shows that Perley G. Nutting, a physicist who started the Optical Society of America, displayed the first neon light at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. The matter holds little importance today.

Susan B. Anthony (from page 2)

By Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: “Everything is funny as long as it’s happening to somebody else.” ● In 1952, in an otherwise rather uninteresting hockey game, Bill Mosienko, right wing for the Chicago Black Hawks, scored an amazing three goals against the New York Rangers in 21 seconds. ● You probably know that the phrase “rack your brain” means to think hard, but did you ever wonder where the term originated? The rack being referred to is the medieval torture device on which victims were stretched, sometimes until limbs were dislocated. The idea is that when you’re thinking very hard, you’re undergoing a sort of mental torture. ● The venerable diner saw its peak as a place for a casual meal in the late 1940s, when there were around 7,000 of them across the country. Today there are only about 2,000. ● A fully mature oak tree gives off 7 tons of water every day through its leaves. ● Farmers in Turkey marched on both the American and Soviet embassies in 1967, demanding reparations for crops that they lost to floods. Why were the Americans and Soviets to blame for floods in Turkey? The farmers claimed that the flights of spacecraft created “holes in the sky.” ● The idea for the Tooth Fairy seems to have originated in Germany, but the tradition has changed over the years. Instead of putting the tooth under a pillow, Germans used to put the tooth in a rat hole in the hope that the new tooth would grow in to be as strong as the teeth of the rat. *** Thought for the Day: “I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go into the library and read a good book.” -- Groucho Marx (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Although Anthony never saw the change she had worked so hard for during her lifetime, it was entirely through her efforts that the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving all adult women the right to vote, was ratified.

• The presiding justice who heard her case refused to listen. Instead, he verbally attacked her with his own biased opinions and ordered the jury to return a guilty verdict. Her sentence was a $100 fine, but no imprisonment. Anthony vowed, “I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty!” True to her word she never paid the fine for the rest of her life, and an embarrassed U.S. Government took no action against her to collect it. • The publicity the trial received gave Anthony the opportunity to spread her arguments to a wider audience than ever before. But although her support continued to grow, she was still unable to get the support she needed from Congress for introducing an Amendment specifically giving women the right to vote. • After retiring in 1900, Anthony remained in Rochester, where she died at the age of 86 of heart disease and pneumonia in her house at 17 Madison Street on March 13, 1906. She was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery.

• Contrails are generally formed above 30,000 feet, or approximately 5-6 miles above ground level where the air is extremely cold; less than -40° F (-40° C).

• An interesting way to think of contrails is by comparing it to exhaling in cold weather when you can “see your breath.” The warm moist air coming from your lungs makes contact with the cold air, instantly making it visible. Usually the condensation from your breath will evaporate in less than a second. The condensation in jet contrails contains a lot more moisture and can last quite a while, sometimes even for hours in the right conditions when the upper winds are light. • Just like natural clouds, contrails are made of water and ice crystals. Depending on air conditions, contrails can last only a few minutes and be fairly small or they can grow miles long and remain visible for hours. The tiny moisture droplets in contrails freeze instantly and can’t evaporate or melt. They eventually fade away in what is called “sublimation,” when the solid particles turn to gas. It is the same situation as when dry ice ‘dissolves’ back into the air. • The first recorded spotting of a contrail

As of now, “Vikings” continues to be the No. 1 new cable series of 2013, and has launched History to No. 1 in cable in its Sunday 10 p.m. time period. Dirk Hoogstra -- executive vice president of development and programming -- says of the show’s renewal: “Vikings is a win-win for us. As our first scripted series, ‘Vikings’ has paid off in a big way, with critical acclaim, strong ratings and a passionate, loyal fan base. We could not be more proud of the entire cast and crew and everyone involved in the making of ‘Vikings.’ Season two will begin production this summer to air in 2014.” ***

Is it true they are making a “Finding Nemo” sequel? I really hope so because I really loved that movie. -- Jane S., Tampa, Fla.

In Shakespeare’s day, something was rotten in the state of Denmark. Nowadays, something’s rotten in the United States. That something in two words: disposable animals. One of the saddest aspects of our citizenry is this sticky notion that animals are disposable. One of the ways that plays out is in the ongoing practice of dumping dogs of a certain age at the local shelter. For most of us, this is unimaginable. But for too many others, it’s ridiculously justifiable: He’s sick, and I can’t afford to take him to the vet. He’s high-maintenance. He’s not as fast, not as much fun. He’s not as cute as he was as a puppy. And on and on. Forgive the pun, but that dog don’t hunt. Older dogs make fantastic companion animals. They are typically more relaxed, more content, less rambunctious and far less inclined to cause trouble than their puppy counterparts. For many, this calm, cool and collected older dog is the reward of enduring puppyhood, with its housebreaking, teething, nipping and chewing challenges. No one is more aware of this fact than shelter workers. And I happen to reside in a county that hosts some of the best. The citizens of El Dorado (Calif.) County are blessed with an outstanding animal welfare organization: PAWED. People for Animal Welfare in El Dorado (of which my wife and I are members) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of companion animals. Boy, do they see it all. In addition to senior dumping, they see people go on vacation and leave their dog alone in the yard. Many of these dogs try to escape (who could blame them?), and when they do, PAWED picks them up and houses and cares for them. They witness the consequences of “breed trends.” Paris Hilton gets a Chihuahua; everyone wants a Chihuahua. Puppy mills and breeders start pumping out Chihuahuas. Next thing you know, shelters are full of unwanted Chihuahuas. The thing about trends is they always come to an end. Who pays the price? The animals, organizations like PAWED and the people who want to adopt from them. CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

Simple Strategies Keys to Combat Alzheimer’s Simple strategies promoting health can delay Alzheimer’s disease by many years. A healthy lifestyle including exercise, eating right and controlling stress reduces not only the risk of a heart attack and stroke but also the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the brain associated with relentless and insidiously progressive damage to brain cells. Abnormalities are present in the brain 20 years before symptoms develop. Initially, an abnormal protein called beta amyloid precursor protein accumulates in and around brain cells. The protein causes a subtle inflammation that damages and destroys the cells. When destruction of the brain becomes severe enough, symptoms develop. Alzheimer’s disease initially affects that part of the brain responsible for short-term memory. Thus, the earliest symptoms include forgetting appointments, repeating yourself and having difficulties remembering recent events. Abnormalities characteristic of Alzheimer’s can be found in well over 50 percent of brains examined at autopsy, even though many die with no memory problems. When symptoms initially

develop is dependent not only on the severity of the degeneration but also on the health of the unaffected brain. High blood pressure, cholesterol deposits in arteries, major or multiple minor strokes, diabetes and a host of other problems all impair brain function. This decline in function reduces the ability of the brain to compensate for the degeneration caused by Alzheimer’s, resulting in the development of symptoms at an earlier age. It is not surprising, therefore, that compelling research shows that strategies to reduce the risk of heart disease are more effective at slowing the rate of progression of Alzheimer’s than any of the current medications used to treat the disease. Furthermore, if heart disease is not present, the brain is likely to be healthier and more able to adapt to changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s. Only if this person lives well past age 90 would memory loss develop. If Alzheimer’s pathology is present in the brain, nothing is more important than delaying the time at which memory loss occurs and the rate at which it progresses. This will assure additional years of independent life, delaying the need for caregiving and nursing home placement. This offers the potential of substantial reductions in the emotional and financial burdens of the disease while improving the quality of life of families. The vast majority of baby boomers will reach the age of 85, at which time half will have memory problems severe enough to prevent them from living alone without assistance. At middle age and beyond, the best strategy to maintain a robust memory throughout life is to eat right, exercise and prevent high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and diabetes. And for those with heart disease, treatment with medications that include aspirin, statins to lower cholesterol, beta-blockers and the angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors better known as ACE inhibitors (drugs used to treat high blood pressure) not only prevent worsening heart problems but also reduce the risk of memory loss. Research indicates that the more active the brain, the lower risk of Alzheimer’s. Studies of twins have shown that the person with the higher degree and a history of lifelong learning is far less likely to develop memory loss than his identical twin who is less educated. Keeping your mind keen and active helps maintain a healthy brain. These individuals are far better able to compensate for Alzheimer’sinduced brain damage. However, keeping the mind active does not prevent the relentless progression of Alzheimer’s so that when the disease finally manifests it is more advanced and appears to progress more rapidly. While age is the most important risk factor for Alzheimer’s, the second most important is family history. If more than one close family member has been diagnosed with the disease, the risk in younger family members is 50 percent higher. For these individuals, some experts believe that in addition to a healthy lifestyle, beginning at an age that is 20 years younger than symptoms developed in their affected relative, they should be treated as if they have had a heart attack. This includes lowering the bad or LDL cholesterol to below 70, aggressively maintaining normal blood pressure and being treated with a low dose of an ACE inhibitor. We must all hope that in the near future there will be a cure for Alzheimer’s. The size of the coming epidemic makes it ever more important to emphasize strategies to improve both heart and brain health.

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9) When a shelter is operating at beyond capacity -- and almost all are these days -- it is forced to raise adoption fees to cover costs. Higher fees, in turn, keep people from adopting. It’s a sickening cycle that demonstrates the high cost of careless behavior. One way to stop or at least slow the cycle is for animal lovers who want to support the good work of their local shelters to make a donation to that shelter to subsidize adoption fees. Low adoption fees are key to keeping shelters an attractive alternative to buying from breeders, brokers and pet stores. This year more than any other, I’d encourage animal lovers to consider giving the gift of a donation to their local shelter to all their animal-loving friends and family members. If it’s true that all good things come to an end, why not all bad things? It’s high time this trend of disposing of our companion animals goes for good. Woof!

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY by Tom Margenau

Social Security Is an Entitlement Q:

It really gets my goat when I hear politicians refer to Social Security as an entitlement. I worked all my life and paid Social Security taxes all my life. How can they call that an entitlement?

They can call it that because Social Security is an entitlement -- literally. And I think you’ve got to blame popular culture, not politicians, for abusing the term. Social Security is an entitlement in not only the literal but also the legal sense of the term. Social Security is Title II of the Social Security Act. Medicare is Title XVIII -- and other programs make up other titles of the Social Security law. So that’s where the root word “title” comes from. Once you meet all the qualifications for Social Security benefits (having enough work credits, being the right age, etc.) then you are considered eligible for benefits. But when you actually file a claim for benefits and get approved, you are legally entitled to those benefits. So that is what makes Social Security an entitlement program. And for that matter, any other government program for which you have to meet certain eligibility criteria and then sign an application and get approved for benefits is also an entitlement program. But popular culture has given the term a bad name by using the word to imply some kind of government handout, like welfare or food stamps. Actually, welfare and food stamps are also entitlement programs because you have to meet certain eligibility criteria and file a formal application to become entitled to those benefits, too. It’s just too bad the name has been given such a stigma. There is nothing wrong with being an entitlement program. It’s just a legal term.

a little more. But it’s the second goal that is actually more important and a major reason Social Security was established in the first place. For example, one of the social goals of “Social” Security is to raise the standard of living of lower income workers. This is accomplished through a retirement benefit formula that is skewed to give lower income workers a higher rate of return (when comparing taxes paid to benefit received) than that received by their more well-to-do counterparts. This has helped lift millions of seniors out of poverty. When the program started in the 1930s, something like 80 percent of senior citizens in this country lived below the poverty level. In large part because of Social Security, that figure is less than 10 percent today.

I paid maximum Social Security taxes from the time I started working in 1971 until I retired at age 66 at the end of 2011. I’ve always been curious: How much did I pay in Social Security taxes? My Social Security benefit is about $2,400 per month. How long will it take me to get that back?

There are all kinds of ways these payback numbers can be presented. For example, some insist the employer’s share of Social Security taxes should be factored into the equation. I disagree. After all, it’s not like your employer was sending YOUR money to the government. The employer’s share of Social Security is simply another tax a business pays. But if you disagree with my take on this, then simply double the number I give you when I present the amount of Social Security taxes you’ve paid. I also must point out that I fully understand I am presenting the payback times for someone who works for wages. A self-employed person pays twice as much in Social Security taxes -- although over the years, that rate has been reduced by various tax write-offs. And finally, I must make it clear that in adding up the taxes paid column, I used the Social Security tax, which varied from 4.6 percent when you first started working in 1971 to 6.2 percent in 2011. When some people attempt to do these payback times, they mistakenly add in Medicare taxes paid. Medicare is a completely separate program and is entirely separately funded. It makes absolutely no sense to factor in Medicare taxes when trying to figure out Social Security payback times.

I get emails like yours all the time. If you want to delude yourself into thinking that you, and hundreds of millions of past, current and future retirees in this country would all be millionaires were it not for that nasty old government program called Social Security, well then you just can keep sending your donations to Tea Party candidates and hope they get that they eventually get big brother off your back! But here is some food for thought. You must remember that Social Security was never set up to be an investment scheme. One of the original objectives of Social Security was to try to strike a balance between what you get out of the program and what the country gets out of it. For more teasers log on to The first goal is obvious and, frankly, it’s the one www.TriviaGuy.com in which most people are interested. You pay taxes into the program and eventually you get something out of the system. That’s your own equity in Social Security. At the end of this column, I’ll get into this

from my grandmother. The dish is decorated with a man and woman in 17th-centur y costumes. They are standing in a garden setting. There is a filigree band on the border and gold around the scalloped edge. I have searched on line and unfortunately, I can’t find any information about my dish or the possible value. Any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Sabin Industries, Inc. made your oval platter. The company was established in McKeesport, Pa., in 1946. They purchased blank pieces of china from other companies and used their own artists to decorate them, usually with transfer print designs. They often decorated their wares with French inspired scenes of couples wearing formal attire in garden settings. The mark on your platter shows the decoration is 22-karat gold. Sabin produced “Crest0-Gold” series, and a variety of other tableware, ovenware, kitchenware and decorative pieces. In 1967 Chase Enterprises purchased Sabin along with Mt. Clemens Pottery and McCoy Pottery. Your platter was made around 1950 and would probably be worth $20 to $30.
