TIDBITS® HEARS THE BELLS TOLL

BELLSby Patricia L. Cook

This Tidbits will ring some bells of history! Bells have been around for many centuries, including references in the Bible. Long before telephone ringers, ambulance sirens, internet, emails and “tweets,” bells summoned the masses for news, happy and sad. • Bells are rung at many major life events and occasions, including weddings and funerals in some religions. In earlier centuries bells were also rung to make announcements at community squares. Many churches ring bells at Christmas to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. • A famous old poem written on December 25, 1864 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow be-came one of our best loved Christmas Carols. “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,” was actu-ally a poem that Wadsworth wrote concerning the sadness of America’s Civil War and the hope for its end. Two stanzas were removed when the poem was set to music by John Baptiste Calkin in 1872. The words, “Peace on earth, good will toward men,” included in the song, come from Luke 2:14 in the Bible. • Ringing of bells and other noisemakers may have originated with pagans, people who have “little or no religion.” They used the bells to scare away evil spirits. • Traditionally in Anglican and Catholic church-es, the church day starts at sunset. So, for many churches the first service of Christmas Day will have bells ringing. These signify the start of Christmas services in many areas. In the United Kingdom (U.K.) it is traditional for the largest bell to be rung four times in the hour prior to midnight; then at midnight all of the bells ring to celebrate Christmas Many old churches in the U.K. and other European countries have historic bells that have been ringing for centuries.• One of those old churches, St. Lawrence Church

BELLS AND WHISTLES (continued):in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, has what is thought to be the oldest set of bells in the world. Dat-ing from about 1450, the set of five bells had not been used for two decades because of the poor condition of the tower that housed them. They were in a tower that was built in 1883, that was very flimsy. In a restoration project funded by do-nations to the Ipswich Historic Churches Trust, the bells were moved to an older, sturdier part of the building that was built in the 15th century. In September, 2009, the bells rang again, much to the delight of the town. Now when the bells are rung, they are in a part of the church where they can be seen through a glass screen. The building is no longer a church but is part of the Ipswich Town Centre. • In the Ipswich project, the bells were cleaned at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in East London. Whitechapel is Britain’s oldest manufacturing company, established during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in 1570. In 1970 the Foundry cele-brated 400 years, a quatercentenary! (It is now in its 442nd year.)• Famous bells from Whitechapel include the Liberty Bell, the Great Bell of Montreal and the largest bell it has ever cast, Big Ben. • Big Ben at Westminster Abbey deserves its name; weighing 13 tons (11.79 tonnes). It was cast (or made) in 1858. While most of the work of the company is with large bells, including all of the equipment needed and installation in church towers, Whitechapel also makes handbells and other small bells. • While bell ringing, called “change ringing,” is

Chicken Pie Warms Up Winter

1 (2 to 2 1/2 pounds) cooked chicken, meat cut into chunks, skin and bones removed and discarded1 stick butter, divided1 medium onion, diced3 stalks celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, diced 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen soup or stew vegetables2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, divided1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided1 teaspoon pepper, divided1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper1/4 teaspoon sugar4 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup cream, evaporated milk or buttermilk1 cup chicken broth1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. 2. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery and garlic. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. 3. Stir in chicken and frozen vegetables, 1 teaspoon of the poultry seasoning and salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, the cayenne pepper and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken mixture from the skillet and place it in the prepared casserole dish. Set aside.4. To make the sauce, melt 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium heat. Whisk flour and remaining teaspoon of poultry seasoning into the butter; turn heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until light brown and thick, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the remaining salt and pepper, and the nutmeg.4. Pour the cream sauce over the chicken mixture, stirring to coat the mixture evenly. Sprinkle the chicken mixture with the cheese. Top the filling with the prepared pie crust, pressing the crust down around the edges of the dish to seal the crust over the filling.

Q: Ever since “GCB” was canceled, I’ve scoured the networks to find some of my favorite actors on other series. I haven’t seen Mark Deklin on anything recently, so I wondered if you could tell me what he is up to. Ñ- Gigi W., via email

A: Mark recently filmed a guest spot on “Castle” (it is episode 10, which is set to air in early Janu-ary), where he plays a man whose girlfriend is found dead. Later in 2013 (an exact date has not been set yet), you can see Mark on the big screen in a live-action version of “Tarzan.”Mark told me about the film and his character, John Greystoke: “It’s not the Victorian ‘Tarzan’ that we all grew up with. It’s a modern take on it. My character is almost like a Richard Branson type -- a wealthy but well-intentioned adventurer and entrepreneur. He discovers there’s a serious en-ergy source -- a sort of meteorite, which crashed in Africa -- and he wants to find it.“He brings his family with him, which of course is a stupid decision, but I suppose in the moment it doesn’t seem stupid because he doesn’t go thinking he’s going to die. He ends up unleashing a mystical force that he never could have antici-pated, and everything goes south.”

Q: I just rented “The Queen of Versailles” and was mesmerized by the story of David Siegel, his wife, Jackie, his family, and his struggle to save his time-share/real-estate business. Do you have any updates on how he is doing now? -- George F., Naples, Fla.

A: David recently made national news when he sent a memo to his employees encouraging them to vote for Mitt Romney in the recent presidential elections. But, politics aside, David was quoted in a Reuters interview this past summer: “We’re the most profitable we’ve ever been.” He also is continuing work on his family’s new home, which is modeled on the Palace of Versailles in France. In fact, just before the movie’s premiere, David filed a defamation suit over the film’s portrayal of his business as failing, asserting that some of the film’s scenes were staged or exaggerated.

Q: When will “Merlin” return to Syfy? -- Felix S., via e-mail

A: Season five of the popular fantasy series, which premieres Friday, Jan. 4, at 10 p.m. ET on Syfy, will be the final season of the show. Execu-tive producers (Johnny Capps and Julian Mur-phy) promise fans that “Merlin” is “leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best-known elements of this much-loved story, and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot.”

BELLS AND WHISTLES (continued):most popular in England where it started centu-ries ago, there are bell ringers all over the world. Most English church bell towers have at least six to eight, but sometimes as many as sixteen bells in a the bell chamber or belfry. There are more than 5000 churches with bells for change ringing in their bell towers in England, while there are fewer than 300 in the rest of the world. • Change ringing is a performing art, similar to a team sport, in that the team must work together in harmony to ring the bells. It is similar to being a part of an orchestra. Each ringer must learn to do his or her part. There are many change ringing organizations in England. The oldest association is the “Companie of Ringers of the Blessed Vir-gin Mary of Lincoln” which was started in 1612. • A strange ban that occurred during World War II was the ringing of bells. Ringing was quickly reinstated when peace returned. • There has been change ringing in North Amer-ica since 1744 with groups of ringers active in Quebec, British Columbia, South Carolina, Illi-nois and more at various times. By the middle of the 20th century, change ringing in bell towers had almost completely died out on the continent. Change ringing was occurring some with hand-bells but the history is slim on that. In the early 1960s there were only seven active bell towers in North America: four in Canada and three in the U.S. • The installation of change ringing bells at the new National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. in 1963 stoked the energy for new ringers in North America. Today The North American Change Ringers Guild, officially chartered in 1972, has more than 560 members with about 50 active bell towers in North America. • The London-based “Ancient Society of Col-lege Youths” is one of the oldest ringing societ-ies, started in 1637. They have members all over the world.• While bell-ringing is an old and refined form of music, it is also popular in Christmas stories and songs that have nothing to do with classic bell tower tunes. Christmas bells are in many classic Christmas songs: “Jingle Bells,” “Silver Bells,” and “Christmas Bells are Ringing,” are three well-known Christmas carols that have been passed down for generations. • Santa Claus and his reindeer jingle bells as they fly through the sky. Bells are attached to the reindeer harnesses and Santa’s sleigh.• You have probably heard the saying “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings”. Most remember this saying from the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” but over a hundred years ago this was a very common saying.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:MACHU PICCHU

One of the most intriguing ancient sites in the world sits at a high elevation in the Andean mountains of Peru in South America. • The magnificent setting sits 9,060 feet (2,761 m) above sea level. Covering 5 square miles (12.95 sq km), Machu Picchu is the most un-usual urban creation known that was built by the ancient Incan Empire. The terraces, ramps and giant walls look as if they were cut naturally in the rock escarpments but they were built by the Incans. • Machu Picchu means “Old Peak” in the local Quechuan language. The Incas may not have been the first people to use the mountaintop site but they were the ones who turned the site into an extraordinary city.• The ruins of the old civilization sit high in the clouds above the Urubamba River. There are re-mains of palaces, baths, storage rooms, temples and about 150 houses. The structures are carved from the granite of the mountain top and are ar-chitectural and aesthetic wonders. Many of the giant building blocks weigh 50 tons or more (45 metric tons +) but are fitted together in such a way as to not allow a thin knife blade to be in-serted in the mortarless joints.• The ancient city is invisible from below and completely self-contained. The agriculture is and was sufficient for the residents with natural springs for drinking and crop production. • Yale history professor, Hiram Bingham, is given credit for “discovering” Machu Picchu in 1911. In fact, the Incan people and others had already found the area! He “rediscovered” it and brought it much fame by revealing what he saw in lectures, news articles and books after his re-turn. • The Inca civilization is one of the ancient cul-tures that has been studied for centuries. Back in the time of Columbus’ “discovery” of Amer-ica, the Incan Empire was in control of most of South America. A mysterious culture, the Incans had phenomenal abilities in construction, agri

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My daughter and her family have two big dogs and a cat. I like giving gifts to the pets as well as my grandkids. Do you have any suggestions? -- Tammy, via email

DEAR TAMMY: Anything that looks cozy, fun and safe for pets is a good bet. I’ve always appreciated even small gifts like a cute bandanna for my dog or small catnip toys for my cat. If you’re looking for gifts beyond stocking stuffers, here are some that most pet owners will appreciate:--Dog and cat beds: These range in price from about $15 on up to a few hundred dollars. Look for a sturdy fabric covering that is easy to brush fur from, and stuffing that can’t be easily pulled out and chewed on.--Cat furniture: From a simple padded windowsill seat to “kitty condo” play complexes that cats can wander through, cat owners appreciate these combination scratching posts and rest areas.

--Travel safety: A number of products have come on the market to keep dogs and cats safe in the car, from traditional travel crates to adapted seat belts that keep Fido securely in his seat. --Toys: For your daughter’s big dogs, sturdy chew toys are probably welcome. I still really like Kong chew toys, which are nearly impossible to damage and can be filled with peanut butter or another treat. For cats, something beyond the catnip mouse could include one of Bergan’s “Turbo Tracks,” in which a ball inset in a round or figure-eight track scoots around with every swipe of the paw.

¥ On Dec. 18, 1777, the new United States celebrates its first national day of thanksgiving, commemorating the Ameri-can victory at the Battle of Saratoga after the surrender of Gen. John Burgoyne and 5,000 British troops that October.

¥ On Dec. 22, 1808, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony has its world premiere in Vienna. The concert venue was freezing cold and the orchestra played poorly enough to force the nearly deaf composer -- also acting as conductor and pia-nist -- to stop the ensemble partway into one passage and start again from the very beginning.

¥ On Dec. 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, N.C., Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight of a self-propelled aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and cov-ered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.

¥ On Dec. 19, 1917, four teams of the National Hockey League play the league’s first two games. At the time of its inception, the NHL was made up of the Canadiens and the Wanderers (both of Montreal), the Ottawa Senators, the Quebec Bulldogs and the Toronto Arenas.

¥ On Dec. 23, 1968, the crew and captain of the U.S. intel-ligence gathering ship Pueblo are released after 11 months imprisonment by the government of North Korea. The ship, and its 83-man crew, was seized by warships on Jan. 23 and charged with intruding into North Korean waters.

¥ On Dec. 21, 1970, rock star Elvis Presley pays a surprise visit to President Richard Nixon at the White House to dis-cuss the war on drugs. Presley apparently was not searched before being granted admission: Upon meeting Nixon, he presented the president with a gift -- a World War II-era Colt .45 pistol.

¥ On Dec. 20, 1989, “Roger & Me,” a documentary by Mi-chael Moore about his quest to interview Roger Smith, then chairman and chief executive officer of General Mo-tors, opens in theaters. The film examines the devastating impact on the people of Moore’s hometown of Flint, Mich., following the closing of several General Motors auto plants in the area.

A FAVORITE “CHILD”by Blue Sullivan

America is a culture that loves good food. The proliferation of successful cooking shows on TV like “Master Chef” and “Chopped” has given rise to the “celebrity chef.” Yet perhaps the most beloved chef since the advent of television isn’t on TV anymore. That’s Julia Child.

To Your Good Health By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please advise about the Gardasil vaccine. My granddaughter just turned 18 (to date, no sexual activity -- really) and begins college next year. Her doctor is pushing the vaccine for her and for her just-turned-14 sister. I value your common-sense approach to medical issues. What do you recommend? -- S.B.

ANSWER: Without any hesitation, I recommend wholeheartedly the vaccine for protection against the human papillomavirus. It’s the virus that causes cervical cancer. Gardasil protects against the most common strains of cancer-causing papillomavirus, strains 16 and 18.This vaccine is a medical breakthrough. Never has there been a vaccine for protection from any cancer. Your granddaughters are not too young. The recommendation suggests that the vaccine be given when a girl is 11 or 12, but it can still be given up to age 26.For best effectiveness, it should be given before a girl has had any sexual encounters. The human papillomavirus is extremely widespread, and exposure to the virus before the vaccine has been given lessens the vaccine’s ability to protect against the virus and the cancer it causes.A second papillomavirus vaccine is also on the market. It’s called Cervarix.The booklet on cervical cancer and Pap smears discusses these topics in greater detail. It does not discuss the vaccines. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1102W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow three to four weeks for delivery.

MACHU PICCHU (continued):cultural, and organization that are still apparent in the high mountains of the city of Machu Pic-chu. • The Incas were overthrown by the Spanish in 1532 and their culture became virtually unknown until discoveries such as Bingham’s revealed much of their history years later. • It is believed, through much of the archeologi-cal evidence, that Machu Picchu was an impor-tant ceremonial center for the Incas. In 2001, Peru’s first president of Andean Indian descent, Alejandro Toledo, celebrated his inauguration at Machu Picchu.• Even though the ancient city is not easy to get to, there are thousands of tourists who flock there every year. In fact, the Peruvian government in-troduced new tourist limits in 2011 to protect the historical sites. • Train and bus rides now take tourists to the top of the mountain that is Machu Picchu today. In Bingham’s time in the early 1900s mules and hiking were the only way to go. When the trails and old city were cleared of overgrown brush af-ter years of neglect, well-constructed roads with pavement and drainage were discovered. The In-cas had set up a nice system that was ahead of their time. • Hiking is still possible for tourists who prefer more adventure. There are many stairs at Machu Picchu; in fact, more than 100 individual stair-cases, many of them carved somewhat miracu-lously from single slabs of stone.

1. Name the only stadium that is currently home to an NFL team and a major-league baseball team.2. Who played more games with one team: Brooks Robinson or Robin Yount?3. Name the first team in

A recent British study showed how those over 50 can stay young. American seniors aren’t so dif-ferent, are we? Maybe we can learn a few things from their list of preferred activities across the pond.Food was big on the list. Trying new food, and eating sweets, spicy dishes and chocolate were all favored. To that I would add trying a new restaurant.Reading books that are challenging -- perhaps exploring new authors or another genre entirely -- offers brain stretching.Beating younger relatives at games and social-izing with grownup children and grandkids, perhaps at a first-run movie in the theater, helps

What Keeps Us Young?

us learn what they’re thinking and talking about. Playing practical jokes and watching stand-up comedy points to the necessity of finding things to laugh about.Exercise wasn’t left off the list. Yoga, Zumba, salsa dancing and cycling were favorites.One of the most popular ways to stay young, according to the survey, is to surf the Web, as it combines many favorite activities. That means owning electronic gadgets -- computers, e-read-ers like Kindle and iPhones (including apps) and iPads. These are all ways to connect and stay front and center in what’s going on in the world.Facebook can be a fun way to keep in touch online, as long as we’re aware of the dangers and use the right settings to control who accesses the page. Twitter can be challenging for those brave souls who can handle the flow of messages.One very notable characteristic of those in the survey: 40 percent considered themselves to be rebellious. We’re not afraid to think out of the box, are we?

Serving The Entire Hemet Valley

Mila Martinez had been talking about closing her fabric shop for years and moving in with her son Victor and his wife. Most of her customers drove the 23 miles to a Wal*Mart in Brookside now, for their sewing supplies. Jane knew that the only thing stopping Mila, was selling her building in this market. It was a real concern, Jane had listed it twice without a nibble. The building was older but the plumbing & wiring were fine; they had it checked when the property was listed. There was even a closet bathroom downstairs in the store. A surge of excitement filled Jane, Mila had a flat above her storefront shop that would be perfect for her & Amy. Jane was already thinking of where to place the bookshelves when Ned Butler came by her table. “Hi, Guila. Hey, Jane.” Ned owned the town’s gas station. “Hi, Ned. You raising the gas today?” Golly queried. “Now, you girls know my prices are based on the distributor’s.” He leaned in and whispered: “Not till the end of week.” “Right,” both women nodded doubtfully, “but thank’s.” “Got any of those brownies left, Guila?” Ned asked, as he walked over to his table. “Two,” Golly said, and went for the coffeepot. Jane said goodbye to her friend & waved at Ned as she left the café. She would confide in Golly later, but not now. Now she wanted to talk to Mila. (To be continued).

¥ In 1982, a radio station in Allentown, Pa., thought its rating could use a bit of a boost, so it came up with a contest: Three contestants, selected at ran-dom, would live on top of one of the station’s bill-boards (portable toilets and sleeping bags were provided). The last one to give up would be awarded a mobile home. The problem was, nobody wanted to give up. The three men who climbed to the top of the sign at the end of September were still there come March 1983. In that month, one of the con-testants was arrested for dealing drugs, but the re-maining two stayed aloft until May. Once the freez-ing winter was finally over, the radio station decided to declare both of the men winners.

CHRISTMAS CARDSThe first Christmas cards were issued to raise awareness of people in need. In 1843, Sir Henry Cole, in England, wanted to help those living in desolate conditions. • Sir Henry was a writer of children’s books, handbooks for art and design and many more ventures. He was involved in public service for more than 50 years, including assisting with the postal service. • Being a man with many personal and busi-ness friends and acquaintances, and consider-ing that people would hand write their Christ-mas greetings, he felt that he didn’t have time to write them. In 1843, he commissioned artist John Calcott Horsley to design a card that would depict the poor living conditions under which many lived. His idea was to raise awareness and encourage help for the poor. • Ironically, the card that Horsley made for Sir Henry Cole caused quite a stir of criticism. The happy family on the front of the card included a child sipping wine! As in today’s society, this was not acceptable behavior. In spite of the inappropriateness, the Christmas card was a hit. • Neither Cole nor Horsley had any idea of the impact their Christmas cards would have on Britain, later America and even the world over. By 1880 the design and development of cards would become big business and open up opportunities for writers, artists, printers and engravers.• The first Christmas cards were not religious in nature. They usually were quite plain with depictions of animals, winter scenes, girls, dolls and more. A few had drawings of angels. • One of the largest greeting card companies in the world, Hallmark, has done remarkably well with Christmas cards, wrapping paper, ornaments and more. All kinds of cards are made by the company started by two brothers in 1910 in Norfolk, Nebraska. They moved to Kansas City, Missouri shortly after to be near a bigger market of customers. The slogan, “when you care enough to give the very best,” was adopted in 1944.• The Hallmark Visitor Center in Kansas City is fun any time of year, with free admission. There are many great exhibits, including one where you can press a button to create a bow that you can keep as a souvenir.• Another free Christmas goody happened a few years ago in Germany. In 2004, the Ger-man post office gave away 20 million scented stickers for Christmas cards with smells like fir trees, cinnamon, gingerbread, and more. What a “scent-sational” idea!
