Useless Information What’s the deal with that name? Q-TipsŽ. You know this product. I bet that you wish that you had invented this little gizmo (I certainly do). So simple in its design, yet able to accomplish so many tasks.
You can clean your ears with them. Dab them in some Elmer’s glue to join two objects together. Use them to clean delicate pieces of equipment. Get the dust out of small places. The list of possible uses goes on and on and on... They warn you on the box not to insert these things in your ear canal, but it sure beats what the inventor’s wife used prior to his creation. Q-TipsŽ were invented in the 1920’s by a Polish-born American named Leo Gerstenzang.
DEO =@ NEJC PILHEIAJP=NU K ? QN K = U N D K P B EJ PEVAN SE N =LLA PNAg KN@A AJ
It seems that Leo’s lovely and beautiful wife had rigged up a dierent device to clean their baby’s ears at bathtime - a toothpick stuck into a piece of cotton. Clearly, one wrong slip-up on Mom’s part meant a nice little wound to little baby Gerstenzang. Leo decided to design a ready made cotton swab that would do the same with less risk. At this point, he named his company the Leo Gerstenzang Infant Novelty Company to market his new creation. While Q-TipsÂŽ appear to be a simple concept, Leo spent several years perfecting the design. Clearly, safety was on his mind. In particular, he was concerned that the wood sticks could possibly splinter (today they are a white cardboard-like material). Another problem was the cotton itself. He needed to get an equal amount on both ends of the swab and to design a way to keep it from falling o (don’t want it stuck in your ear). Once he perfected his product, he needed to ďŹ nd a catchy name. Lots of names must have gone through his head. I can hear it now: Leo Gerstenzang’s Ear Sticks. How about Baby Leo’s? Or Ear Wipes? A better name was clearly needed. I bet that you think Q-TipsÂŽ was his choice. You’d be wrong. Instead, he chose the name Baby Gays. Huh?
bring the family by (Q=J .=>HK‘O LQPO B=IEHU BQJ KJ PDA IAJQ SEPD = OAJO=PEKJ=H OAHA?PEKJ KB B=JP=OPE? DKIA I=@A =LLAPEVANO P=?KO AJ?DEH=@=O MQAO=@EHH=O =J@ B=FEP=O -N KLAJ SE@A BKN = IKQPD S=PANEJC OLA?E=HPU KB PDA DKQOA

Yes, you read that right - Baby Gays. Certainly not a good name for the late 20th century. In 1926, he changed the name to Q-TipsŽ Baby Gays. So what did the Q stand for? Q for Quality. Eventually, the Baby Gays part of the name was dropped and the rest is cotton swab history. Useless? Useful? I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Wildwood Crest announces new trash collection schedule beginning in 2011 WILDWOOD CREST – The Borough of Wildwood Crest will begin a new trash collection schedule in 2011 that projects to be both more efficient and less costly. The borough will change its trash and recycling collection schedule to once per week for its off-peak winter schedule, which is considered to be October through May. Trash will continue to be collected twice per week and recyclable products once per week during the summer, from June through September. The new trash collection schedule goes into effect Monday, Jan. 3, 2011. This change in the trash and recycling collection schedule is designed to enable the borough’s Public Works Department to effectively and efficiently manage its personnel and daily workload while also reducing fuel, vehicle maintenance and labor costs. Other rules and regulations regarding trash collection will not change. During the winter collection schedule, trash and recyclable products will be collected on the same day each week. Winter trash and recycling collection schedule (October through May) is as follows: -- South side of Cresse Avenue to Cardinal Road: Monday. -- South of Cardinal Road to Lotus Road: Tuesday. -- South of Lotus Road to Atlanta Avenue: Wednesday. -- South of Atlanta Avenue to Preston Avenue: Thursday. -- South of Preston Avenue to Jefferson Avenue: Friday. Summer trash and recycling collection schedule (June through September) is as follows: -- South side of Cresse Avenue to Cardinal Road: Trash and recycling on Monday, trash on Thursday. -- South of Cardinal Road to Lotus Road: Trash and recycling on Tuesday, trash only on Friday. -- South of Lotus Road to Atlanta Avenue: Trash and recycling on Wednesday, trash only on Sunday. -- South of Atlanta Avenue to Preston Avenue: Trash and recycling on Thursday, trash only on Monday. -- South of Preston Avenue to Jefferson Avenue: Trash and recycling on Friday, trash only on Tuesday. -- Motel District (East of Atlantic Avenue from Cresse to Jefferson avenues): Trash on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, recycling on Tuesday and Friday. For further information or any questions regarding the new trash and recycling schedule, contact the Wildwood Crest Public Works Department at (609) 522-7446.

The Girl Around Town By Natalie Cooper
I was a little worried about when I would find the time to sit down and write my article for this week, given I haven’t really been “home” since I’ve been back from school on break for the holidays. Actually, I feel like I’ve been most everywhere else but home, in the comfort of my house, spending time with my family. No worries though. With the blizzard that hit yesterday morning, and the snowfall leading on well into the night, dropping 18 or more inches of snow around the island and even deeper snow drifts around the exterior of my house, it was safe to say that I wouldn’t be going anywhere for a while. I will say that I first considered the snow an annoyance. I watched as my brothers and dad shoveled the driveway on three separate occasions, just for the wind to brush a fresh blanket of snow over the area they had just cleared. I watched the trees shake outside and transport the snow from their branches onto our window, sticking to the outside so I couldn’t see through it anymore. And I watched the snow continually fall, so heavily that the sky looked bright still even after the sun went down. Everything was buried—the house, the cars, the plants outside, pretty much every surface that could possibly be. I had nowhere to go and nothing to do. I didn’t like this. With the second day of the blizzard rolling around, I decided to take my nervous energy and turn it into useful energy. So, here I am. Sitting. Writing. Thinking about the past few days and what I’ve done with them. And it was the first time that I took a while to just sit and relax and reflect back on the holidays—Christmas Eve and Christmas day—what I did, who I spent them with, etc. And I realized that I had a pretty good time. I look forward to Christmas Eve more than Christmas day because of the smells all around the house when I first wake up in the morning. My mom spends majority of the day, as well as two days before it, feverously cooking and preparing our meal for the following day for Christmas dinner. Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans and warm rolls are usual garnishes around the table, as well as homemade apple and pecan pies. But this Christmas Eve morning I woke up to the aroma of sizzling marinara sauce bubbling over the stove. This, I knew, was for tonight’s pasta dinner with the extended family. I’ve been doing the same thing on Christmas Eve every year since I was a little girl—five o’clock mass at St. Ann’s Church, now known as Notre Dame de la Mer, then dinner with my mom’s side of the family. This year was no different, with the only slight difference being a variously themed Pollyanna between my cousins and me—this year’s theme being a Chinese Pollyanna. I spend the whole night with the family indulging in good food and drinks and conversations, and like I said, this year was the same. When my brothers and I were younger, we’d wake up by six AM on Christmas morning. The thrill and excitement of knowing that presents were waiting to be unwrapped downstairs was overwhelming, and we’d drag ourselves out of bed at the crack of dawn to take full advantage of the opportunity. This year, we opened presents at three o’clock in the afternoon, followed by a sit down dinner directly after. This was out of the ordinary by previous Christmas ritual standards, but we gladly welcomed the new addition to the tradition. By seven, we were exhausted and retired early to bed. That’s the thing about the holidays—you get wrapped up in preparing for them and making sure everything’s perfect and that everyone has a good time and everyone is satisfied and happy that sometimes you forget to live in the moment and enjoy them. It’s a rather exhausting process, really, and then before you know it, they’ve come and gone, and you’re left wondering where the time went. I’ll be the first to admit I’m guilty of doing this. That’s why the snow turned from an annoyance into a pleasure. Being stuck in the house forced me to take a step back and slow down and enjoy the people by whom I’m surrounded just in case I hadn’t over the holidays. It’s a good thing, too, because this snow’s going to last for a few more days…
