• When September 7th arrived, things started to go wrong. First, Leon Czolgosz assassinated President McKinley that day, which drew attention away from Maud and Carlisle’s stunt.

Second, Maud decided her pet dog, a fox terrier, would ride along with her in the barrel. Little did she realize that this would turn out to be a fatal mistake.

• Still, things proceeded as planned. Maud crawled into the barrel. With her dog in her lap, the barrel was tightly sealed, except for a single hole through which she could get fresh air. A boat towed it into the river. A film crew was positioned to capture the event on film.

• But then the barrel got caught in the grip of the giant whirlpool. Carlisle waited for the whirlpool to release the barrel from its grip so that he could join it in the water and proceed downstream to Lewiston as planned. When an hour went by with the barrel still floating helplessly, and with dusk quickly approaching, Carlisle decided to go ahead with his swim without Maud and her barrel. The film crew followed him downriver.

• 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 a gangrene infection, which killed him.

����������������������

Q

• 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 make 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 pieces, he sold strips of rubber purchased from a nearby tire store.

and the later version “Ongiara” are Indian words meaning “The Strait” or “Great Throat,” although “Thunder of Waters” is sometimes given. By the time the first white men arrived at the Falls, the name in general use was “Ni-ag-ar-a.”

About 500 other waterfalls in the world are “taller” than Niagara. The Angel Falls in Venezuela is tallest at 3,202 feet. However, some of the tallest falls in the world have very little water flowing over them. It’s the combination of height and volume that makes Niagara remarkable.

Sit... and rock a while

 It was French Enlightenment writer Voltaire who made the following sage observation: "Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe."  If Niagara Falls emptied into the Grand Canyon, the giant chasm would be filled within 6 months.  Next time you're rolling the dice, pick up a die and take a closer look. The opposite sides of each gaming cube always add up to 7.  You might think of Uncle Sam as a fictional character, but he's actually based in fact. The original Uncle Sam was one Samuel Wilson, born in Massachusetts in 1766. When he was 14 years old, he joined the army to fight in the American Revolution. Once the war was over, he moved to Troy, N.Y., started working in the meat-packing industry, and became known locally as "Uncle Sam" due to his jovial manner and ethical business practices. During the War of 1812, Sam won a contract to provide meat to troops stationed nearby. To keep track of which crates of meat were destined for the troops, he stamped "U.S." on them, even though that abbreviation for United States was not yet in common use. When his packing plant was inspected in October of 1812, a government inspector asked a nearby worker what "U.S." stood for.

Unsure of the abbreviation himself, the worker replied that it must stand for the name of the owner, Uncle Sam. Though the answer was in error, it took hold, and soldiers soon began calling military rations "bounty of Uncle Sam."  If you remember the early-1960s TV series "Route 66," you might be surprised to learn that the show was actually shot in Florida and Oregon, nowhere near the fabled highway.

MATCHES

DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY

• In 1826, English chemist John Walker was attempting to create a new explosive. Stirring an antimony sulfide and potassium chloratebased formula with a wood stick, he noticed a tear-drop shaped glob had dried on the stick’s tip. He scraped the stick against the stone floor to remove it and, to his surprise, the stick caught on fire.

• A year later Walker began selling “Friction Lights” but he never applied for a patent. They had tips coated with a potassium chlorideantimony sulfide paste, which ignited when scraped between a fold of sandpaper. They came in a tin, each with a piece of sandpaper.

The user folded this over the match, held it tightly and pulled the splint hard. Walker made little money off the invention and copy-cats soon abounded. There were problems with the matches, however. They ignited with the force of a firework and they smelled terrible.

• The increasing popularity of smoking coupled with the advent of gas for lighting and heat caused the need for matches to skyrocket.

With the demand now so high, a streamlined, mechanized method of matchmaking was needed. To solve the problem, the country’s largest manufacturers of matches banded together in 1881 to form a single company they called The Diamond Match Company.

The best features of the machinery that each had developed individually were combined.

MODERN MATCHMAKING • Today’s machines that turn out StrikeAnywhere matches at the rate of more than 300 a second are about 60 feet long and two stories high. Wooden matches are made out of white pine or aspen wood. It takes about one hour for a splint of wood to travel through the factory and emerge as a useable matchstick.

• The matchbook became the “best read book in America” and the warning, “Close Cover Before Striking” became the most common phrase in the history of the printed word.

Matchbooks were the most popular advertising medium in the U.S. for some 40 years.

• Matchbooks are one of the most popular collectibles in the world. In the U.S. it’s the second most popular collecting hobby after stamps. People who collect them are called phillumenists, meaning ‘lovers of light.’

Today, more book matches are used than any

• In 1830, French chemist Charles Sauria discovered how to make matches using white phosphorus instead. They didn’t smell as bad, they burned longer, and they were less explosive. However, it turned out to be a disastrous development due to the toxic nature of the phosphorus. Inhaling fumes from burnt matches had deadly consequences. When the fumes of white phosphorus are inhaled, or when fingers that have contacted phosphorus contact the mouth, or when a drinking glass is used that has been in the presence of phosphorus fumes, ADVERTISING PROOF the toxin enters the body.

Q:

I heard that Steve Perr y has cancer. Is this true, and if so, how’s he doing?

-- Wyatt R., Buffalo, N.Y.

A:

The former Journey frontman recently revealed on his blog that he did indeed have cancer.

In Steve’s words: “Three weeks ago a routine mole was taken off my face, and the lab report came back melanoma skin cancer. I’ve had two surgeries in two weeks to remove all the cancer cells, and I’ve been told they think they got it all, and no other treatments are required.”

This news comes only six months after Steve lost his girlfriend, Kellie, to breast cancer, which had spread to her lungs, bones and brain. ***

man” movies combined. It also was the biggest June opening for a film ever, and it had the second-highest opening of a film so far this year, behind “Iron Man 3.” This gives a great boost to the DC Comics superheroes for their own movies, much like Marvel Comics has done with its characters of Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers. *** READERS: In keeping with the superhero theme of this week’s column (SPOILER ALERT), “Avengers 2” writer and director, Joss Whedon, recently stated that Loki will not be in “Avengers 2.”

He also stated that Robert Downey Jr. has yet to sign on to reprise his role of Iron Man in the sequel, and that the sequel will not happen without Robert. According to Joss: “He is Iron Man. He is Iron Man in the way that Sean Connery was James Bond. I have no intention of making ‘Avengers 2’ without him, nor do I think I’ll be called upon to do that. I don’t think it’s in my interest, Marvel’s interest or his interest, and I think everything will be fine.”

-- $25,000 would just about cover all of the costs to provide two deep wells fitted with hand pumps to provide up to 5,600 gallons of safe water per day to benefit as many as 600 people in an impoverished community in Africa where children have no choice but to walk long distances to find water that is often dirty and disease-ridden.

I could keep going with this, pointing out that $25,000 would pay for much needed replacement windows and a roof for friends of mine who’ve been out of work for too long, but I’ll refrain. And I’ll try not to get all worked up that the tax and tip alone for a party of two at the extravagant event in Ad Proof: Bangkok would boost the tab by at least another $15,000.

Housing Vouchers for Homeless Vets

Nine thousand veterans are going to receive vouchers for permanent housing.

A joint effort between Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Department of Veterans Affairs will spend $60 million at public-housing agencies across the country to provide Section 8 housing for veterans.

Called HUD-VASH, for HUD Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing, the program not only provides most of the cost of rentals, but also case management and services from nearby VA medical centers. Many homeless veterans suffer from chronic disabling conditions, such as mental health or substance abuse disorders, or physical disabilities. Veterans who are accepted into the program are expected to participate in case management, treatment recommendations and assistance for recovery.

Some specifics:

--Veterans in the program won’t pay any more than 30 percent of their income for rent.

--Both single veterans and those with families are eligible for housing.

--Veterans must be able to complete daily living activities and live independently in the community, with the support services and case management.

The VA is making headway in tackling homelessness, with the goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015. Statistics show a 17 percent decline since 2009. So far, it’s put 42,557 formerly homeless veterans into housing through the VASH program.

More funds will be announced this summer.

If you’re a homeless veteran, or know of one, find out if you qualify for the housing assistance program by contacting the VA’s National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at 1-877-4AID-VET (1-877-4243838). You might be referred to the point person for the homeless program at the closest VA facility.

If you’re also unemployed, ask about the Homeless Veteran Supported Employment Program for job development and vocational assistance.

One of the most rewarding things a person can do is go down to the local animal shelter and adopt a homeless dog or cat. Local shelters, local humane societies and local societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCAs) are notoriously understaffed, underfunded and overpopulated with animals just waiting for a good home.

Emphasis on local.

The behemoth Humane Society of the United States serves a role in the nation’s ongoing animal-welfare campaign, and it is certainly no bit player. But the HSUS doesn’t operate a single animal shelter. Not one.

This very wealthy nonprofit works on a national stage, and while its concerns boil down to “animal welfare” at heart, its projects are largely legislative and investigative. The HSUS funnels much of its impressive operating capital into legislative campaigns to pass laws that protect animals and investigations into animal cruelty. Its more handson operations are its horse sanctuaries and wildlife rehabilitation centers, as well as the essential work it does in manning emergency shelters in disaster areas and providing veterinary services in remote areas.

In case you’re wondering, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has much more in common with the HSUS than with your local shelter. In the ASPCA’s own words:

“While we do not have a formal affiliation with local SPCAs throughout the country, we assist SPCAs, humane societies and local shelters around the country financially, as well as provide human and other non-monetary resources toward animal shelter programs and innovations, legislative issues, anti-cruelty and disaster response efforts on a national scale.”

But the ASPCA differs from the HSUS in one way: It operates an animal shelter in New York City.

One.

All of these organizations do good work. But they do very different kinds of work. Knowing the difference is important, especially if you happen to be one of those people who feels the real reward comes from the act of adopting a homeless dog or cat from a shelter.

The work our local shelters, local humane societies and local SPCAs do is invaluable. It’s hard

It’s necessary work. And it’s work that makes a tangible difference every day, for people and animals in every city and every town across the country.

The HSUS and the ASPCA are longstanding national animal-welfare organizations. And we should pay close attention to them, as we should any wealthy and influential nonprofit. But to do so at the expense of our local shelters is like voting for president but skipping the mayoral race. Those closest to us really do have the greatest and most immediate impact on all that we hold dear.

Before medical researchers found a cure, pernicious anemia was a universally fatal disease that caused overwhelming fatigue and breathlessness with even the slightest movement. The body does not develop enough red blood cells to carry oxygen because the digestive system can’t properly absorb vitamin B-12 from food.

Unraveling the cause of the disease was one of the greatest medical detective stories of the 20th century.

The first breakthrough occurred in the early 1920s when Drs. George Whipple, George Minot and William Murphy showed that feeding a halfpound of raw liver daily to patients with pernicious anemia led to a cure within two weeks. In 1934, the three researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize for the breakthrough. In subsequent years, scientists at Merck laboratories identified and purified vitamin B-12 from livers.

At the same time, Dr. William Castle showed that to be absorbed, B-12 must interact with a substance in gastric juice. He called B-12 the “extrinsic factor” and the substance in gastric juice “intrinsic factor.” Among healthy people, only vegans who eat no animal products whatsoever develop B-12 deficiency. In most pernicious anemia cases, deficiency is caused by an abnormality of the lining of the stomach that impairs intrinsic factor production.

We now know that B-12 is essential for the normal function of DNA. Deficiency of the vitamin impairs the ability of cells to divide. The most rapidly dividing cells are found in the skin, hair follicles and lining of the gastrointestinal tract, where cells are constantly being replaced, and in bone marrow, where red blood cells are made. While effects of B-12 deficiency on the skin and bowel are minimal, an inability of the bone marrow to produce red cells causes pernicious anemia. The vitamin also plays an important role in the central nervous system and is essential for the production of the myelin that forms the protective sheath surrounding nerve cells.

Today, we are able to diagnose pernicious anemia merely by measuring B-12 levels in the blood. Treatment involves the injection of B-12, which rapidly corrects the anemia; the patient immediately feels more pep, and the profound fatigue

History of Vitamin B-12 and Pernicious Anemia

Dr. David Lipschitz

miraculously subsides.

While pernicious anemia is rare, as much 20 percent of the population over the age of 70 has vitamin B-12 levels that are either deficient or at the lower limit of the normal range. The cause is atrophy of the lining of the stomach that leads to inadequate intrinsic factor production. While the B-12 levels are not low enough to result in anemia, significant abnormalities of the entire nervous system frequently occur. An inability to maintain normal myelin production causes damage to nerve sheaths and abnormalities in nerve function. This leads to weakness, gait problems and abnormal sensations.

Vitamin B-12 deficiency affects memory. A study published in the journal Neurology showed that low B-12 levels caused shrinking of the brain, as well as significant declines in cognitive function.

Low B-12 affects many aspects of metabolism, one of the most important being the overproduction of homocysteine, which researchers believe leads to brain abnormalities. There is evidence that inappropriately high levels of homocysteine account for 8 percent of the memory declines seen with advancing age.

Because deficiency is so common, B-12 levels should be checked every few years. And in anyone with memory loss, B-12 and homocysteine levels should be assessed.

Occasionally, low B-12 may be the only cause of memory loss. Treatment with B-12 sometimes corrects memory problems completely or improves function in those who have memory loss from another cause. More commonly a deficiency will exacerbate Alzheimer’s disease or other causes of declines in cognition.

Low B-12 is corrected by taking a 1,000-microgram capsule daily that can be bought at any drug store. Even if no intrinsic factor is present, sufficient B-12 will diffuse into the body because the amount in the capsule is 500 times higher than that in a normal diet.

Nothing is more important than identifying a cause of significant illness that is so readily treated.

And because memory loss is so ubiquitous, it would be wise to make sure that your B-12 is adequate at age 60 and take a supplement if deficient.

If You Know People Who Are Cheating the System, Turn Them In

Reader’s second email: “Thank you for sharing that. But I’m not really sure I can make this report anonymously. I’m afraid the government will be able to trace any computer or phone message I send.”

My second response: “I absolutely assure you that you can make an anonymous report. But if you are worried about using your computer or phone, then you can make your report by mail. Assuming you don’t put a return address sticker on the envelope, there is no way they can trace a mailed report back to you.”

Reader’s third email: “Thanks again, but I think I will just let sleeping dogs lie. I don’t want to get any more involved in this.”

My third response: “Frankly, I’m confused.

Your first email told me how corrupt this person is and how upset you are that he is cheating the system. Why don’t you want to turn him in?”

tigators. I know for a fact that he and his colleagues diligently pursued any lead they got about alleged fraudulent activity.

So if you really do know someone whom you believe is cheating the system, be a good citizen and do something about it! Go to www.socialsecurity. gov and file that fraud report.

Q: This mark is on the back of a porcelain plaque that has been in my family for generations. It is an oval shape, in mint condition and set in a metal frame that measures 8 by 10 inches. It is decorated with hand-painted pastel flowers against a white background. I was told it was worth a lot of money and that I should have it appraised. The appraiser who looked at it said it was worth $1,500 to $2,000 and then offered to buy it.

What can you tell me about my plaque and its value?

Yes, that was George Brett taking batting practice at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

And you are correct ... that was indeed Don Mattingly mixing it up with Alan Trammell, Don Baylor, Mark McGwire, Kirk Gibson and Matt Williams on the field during a recent West Coast trip.

NIAGARA FALLS (from page page 3) he had to pay hefty fees to cover the costs of the rescue before they released it to him.

• In 1989, Peter DeBernardi and Geoffrey Petkovich, Canadian residents of Niagara Falls, were the first people to go over the falls as a team, face to face in the same tenfoot steel barrel. They had known each other only a couple of months. DeBernardi’s original partner had chickened out and Petkovich took his place. The steel-plated barrel was equipped with oxygen, two-way radio equipment, and two plexiglass windows. It was painted with the slogan, “Don’t put yourself on the edge – Drugs Kill.” The team suffered only minor injuries and refused treatment. Petkovich, who had been drinking and was inebriated, emerged wearing only a necktie and cowboy boots. They were promptly arrested by the Niagara Parks Police and charged with numerous infractions.

• The attempts by people to survive a ride over the Falls during the last century were so numerous that a Niagara Falls Museum has been established and is open to the public.

Here, visitors can see and touch a collection of artifacts, including some of the actual barrels and other homemade contraptions used by the daredevils who braved the daring plunge.

Included in the displays are photos of some of the attempts along with the fascinating and sometimes bizarre stories that go with them. 

Square up your finish with better balance

Many golfers have a difficult time finishing their swings in balance. It’s hard for them to “strike a pose” and hold their finish. This is often a result of poor body balance throughout their swing.

The key to finding the problems causing imbalance is to study the four pairs of sockets that function in the process of the swing: the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. Keeping these sockets in Square Up Your Finish with Better Balance relationship to each other the properly “stacked” results a naturally smooth Many golfersin out there have a difficult time finishing theirswing and a balanced swings in balance.

The use of Motion Analysis Technology (MAT), as shown in the photo, uses sensors to show the exact angles of these key body points in the swing motion. This visual method is highly useful in allowing both student and instructor to quickly see where adjustments need to be made. I have found MAT to be one of my most effective teaching methods.
