The nose-twitching Samantha Stephens flew

onto television screens when Bewitched debuted in 1964.

Starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York., the show ran for

eight seasons, outdoing The Adams Family, I Dream of

Jeanie and The Munsters as the longest-running fantasy sitcom

series!

Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young founded

Tiffany and Co. in 1837. Before becoming one of

the world’s premier jewelry providers, the store was a stationery

and fancy-goods emporium and eventually designed the New York

Yankees’ “NY” logo, revised the Seal of the United States and even

designed the White House china in 1968!

Disney’s animated television series Duck Tales premiered in 1987. The show inspired

its own feature-length movie, Duck Tales the Movie:

Treasure of the Lost Lamp, which was the very first

Disney animated movie to be spun off from a television

series!

Grammy-winner Little Richard recorded his first

hit “Tutti Frutti” in 1955. He wrote the song while

working as a dishwasher. After getting a surge of

dirty dishes, he shouted the tune’s catchy lyrics, “Awap bob a lup bob, a wop bam boom, take ‘em out!” and

then penned the rest of the song that night!

make sure you're incorporating resistance exercises to strengthen your muscles. This will help you maintain healthy bone mass

and prevent age-related muscle loss.

Strength training will also increase your muscle elasticity and strengthen your

connective tissues, tendons, and

ligaments, which, actually, helps hold your body in the upright position. Strength training will allow you to perform everyday activities like climbing

stairs and getting out of a chair with greater ease, and with less risk of falling, and this freedom of movement

can have a considerable impact on your quality of life.

The Underground Railroad and the Historic Lathrop House

The stately Greek revival home known as the Lathrop House was the residence of Lucian Lathrop, an ordained minister of the Universalist Church, a

denomination which maintained a strong anti-slavery stance, who moved to Sylvania with his wife Larissa

in 1848. The Underground Railroad was a secret system of

helping slaves from the South, escape to the Northern States and Canada before the Civil War.

The system was not underground and was not a railroad. It was called the Underground Railroad because it operated in deep secrecy and was an

illegal way of travel. It was a system of helping slaves escape to freedom.

The Lathrop House had strong connections to The Underground Railroad. It is believed that the

home was one of the stops along the route, with the Lathrop family along with Daniel Harroun, serving as

conductors for the northwest Ohio part of the journey – a risky venture given that it was against the law to assist runaway slaves. The route presumably

ran through Toledo and Sylvania. Join us as we learn more about the important role

Ohio played in the Underground Railroad and see the secret hiding room of the Lathrop House.

Friday, May 17th $5/person

(Stay One Step Ahead of Spring Allergies) Every spring, Mother Nature plays a cruel joke on seasonal allergy sufferers. Just as

the cold-and-flu season is winding down, she gives them another reason to sniffle, sneeze,

cough, and wheeze -- the return of spring allergies. So, while everyone else is out enjoying the warmth and beauty of the

season, people with spring allergies are bracing themselves for an onslaught of unpleasant physical symptoms. Of the various

allergens that become problematic in springtime, the biggest culprit is airborne pollen -- first from trees and later from

grasses. Contrary to popular belief, the pollen produced by large, colorful flowers is not the cause of allergy symptoms. The pollen from these flowers is carried from plant to plant by bees,

butterflies, and other pollinators, not by the wind, so the only way you’re going to inhale it is by burying your nose in a

blossom. In addition to pollen, airborne mold spores also trigger symptoms in springtime. So, if you suffer with seasonal

allergies, what can you do to say one step ahead of the flying pollen and other springtime allergens? Here are some

suggestions that just might minimize your misery: See an Allergist -- If you’ve been plagued by spring allergies in the past, and over-the-counter remedies haven’t given you much symptom relief, it might be a good idea to schedule an appointment with an allergist before the spring-allergy season is in full bloom to determine the best course of treatment. Your allergist may want to conduct a skin or blood test to find out exactly which allergen or allergens you’re sensitive to, and he or she can discuss with you the various treatment options, such as prescription-strength medications or allergen immunotherapy. Monitor the Pollen Count -- Pollen counts can vary from day to day and from one time of day to the next (they’re usually highest in the morning). Monitoring this count 0- which will be posted on TV, in newspapers, and online -- will give you a sense of when it’s safest for allergy sufferers to go outside. When a high pollen count is forecasted, be sure to take your allergy medicines ahead of time rather than wait for symptoms to arise. It’s also helpful to keep your doors and windows closed and run air conditioning for ventilation in both your home and your car. Avoid Pollen Exposure When Possible -- Though some contact with pollen is inevitable, there are steps you can take to reduce your exposure. For example, try to stay indoors on hot, dry, windy days, when pollen tends to be at its worst. In general, try to avoid or delegate outdoor chores, such as lawn mowing, raking, and weeding the garden. Continue Next Column

Spring Allergies Continued

If you can’t avoid these activities, wear a dust mask while you do them. After you’ve spent time outdoors, it’s a good idea to change your clothes and take a shower to wash off your skin and out of your hair. Also, avoid hanging wet laundry to dry outside where it can collect pollen. And, don’t forget the pets! Furry dogs and cats quickly become walking pollen traps. Bathe them often and ban them from your bed and other furnishings. Clean House -- Because at least some airborne allergens are certain to enter you home, you’ll want to take these steps to combat them there, too. To ensure you can breathe easy Indoors, you should: Frequently vacuum rugs and carpeting using a vacuum

cleaner equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

Frequently damp mop floors and wipe down other hard surfaces with a damp cloth or sponge. Install a micron allergy-grade filter in your home’s ventilation system. Run a dehumidifier to keep your home’s air dry. Use a HEPA filter in your bedroom. Wash bedding in hot

water (at least 1130 degrees F). If practical, replace carpeting with hardwood or laminate

flooring. ACT NOW!!! If spring allergies have been a problem for you in the past, don’t wait to implement these steps. By acting early to minimize your exposure to pollen and working with your doctor to find the best treatment plan, you should be able to reduce your discomfort or eliminate your symptoms altogether.

The manufacturer once named its two-door sedans after a British royal dynasty. Over 12 model years, this is the only mainline

model without round or oval taillights. The automaker introduced its popular Galaxie

trim line in the model year before this one. The convertible’s model name, which celebrates the sun, was retained from earlier years. This was also the first model year the automaker’s compact Falcon was produced.
