TIDBITS® SAYS: GENTLEMEN …
START YOUR ENGINES!by Kathy Wolfe
How much do you know about the manufacturers of our favorite automobiles? Tidbits enlightens with some facts about the history of famous cars and their makers.• Ransom E. Olds started manufacturing vehicles in 1897 in Lansing, Michigan. The Oldsmobile soon be-came one of the country’s top-selling automobiles. Al-though Henry Ford is often credited with creating the first auto assembly line, it was actually Olds who was responsible. (Ford’s innovation was the first moving as-sembly line.) Olds used the concept to mass-produce the Oldsmobile Curved Dash, beginning in 1901. The as-sembly line quintupled his output from 425 cars in 1901 to more than 2,500 the following year. Differences of opinion with his business partner led to Ransom Olds’ exit, and General Motors purchased Oldsmobile in 1908. Ransom’s new company, the REO Motor Car Company, produced the REO Speedwagon, the predecessor of the pickup truck.• During its 107 years of operation, Oldsmobile pro-duced over 35 million cars. It was discontinued in 2004, at which time it was the oldest American automobile brand. The R.E. Olds Museum in Lansing is home to the last Oldsmobile (an Alero) to roll off the assembly line. turn the page for more!

START YOUR ENGINES! (continued):• Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss auto racer who went into partnership with William Durant to pro-duce automobiles. Chevrolet had already been in the news as a frequent race winner, driving his Buick up to 72 miles per hour. He wanted to build a luxury car, while Durant’s idea was to produce inexpensive cars to compete with the Ford Model T. Chevrolet won the debate and lent his name to the Classic Six. However, a few years later, while Louis was on a European vacation, Durant intro-duced a smaller, cheaper car. Upon Chevrolet’s re-turn to Michigan, the two men’s dispute grew, and Chevrolet sold out his shares and left the company. Durant went on to control General Motors, acting as president until 1920. • The names of Edward Murphy and Alanson Brush are probably not familiar ones, but you’ve certainly heard of their business venture, the Pon-tiac Buggy Company. First manufacturing horse-drawn carriages in Pontiac, Michigan, the busi-ness evolved into producing two-cylinder engines. When Murphy died unexpectedly at age 45, Gen-eral Motors bought the company. Production of Pontiacs in America continued until 2009, when a G6 model became the final car produced. • Ford is not America’s oldest automobile com-pany, as many believe. That distinction belongs to Buick, ahead of Ford by one month. Founded by Scotsman David Dunbar Buick, it was incor-porated in 1903. Mr. Buick had previously been in the plumbing business, successfully inventing a process for creating white porcelain bathtubs and inventing an innovative lawn sprinkler. He invest-ed his earnings in a new business venture, produc-ing two-cylinder engine automobiles. Almost from the start, the company had financial problems, and David Buick signed his company over to Wil-liam Durant in 1904. Soon afterward, Buick be-came part of General Motors.
• Before there was the Ford Motor Company, there was the Detroit Auto Company, Henry Ford’s first endeavor in 1899. The venture failed com-pletely, leaving him in financial ruin. After acquir-ing new investors (including the Dodge brothers), he began a second company, another one he left behind. (This business later became the Cadillac Company.) Finally, in 1903, Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company, and by 1906, it was the No. 1 car manufacturer in America. He introduced the Model T in 1908, which was a less expensive auto designed for the common man. Famous Ford names include the Thunderbird, introduced in 1954, the Edsel, a failure that debuted in 1957, and the Mustang, launched in 1964.

You can read all about his amazing ancestry at www.lacocoon.com. Sam has a French Canadian accent in his meow, and of course his favorite treat is smoked salmon. This kitten is a love!

When Is It Time? Saying Goodbye
For many pet owners the bond between human and animal is extremely strong . . . it may be the strongest relationship in a person’s life. Making decisions nearing the end of life is difficult and heart wrenching. We all want the best quality of life for ourselves and our pets so knowing what to look for when a pet’s quality decreases can be helpful in making decisions.
The domestic cat has a dignity and grace of movement that is unique among all other species. Cats hide their pain, discomfort and feelings by moving less and sleeping a lot more. When a cat loses the essence of being a cat, the cat has made the decision not to go on.A Quality of Life Scale was developed to help owners and veterinary staff decide what is next in the treatment plan to maintain your cat’s comfort. The following chart has a scale 1-10 with 10 being the best health score.
Comfort/Pain: Is your cat in Pain? If so, can the pain be managed?Appetite/Lack of Appetite: Is your cat eating enough to maintain weight?Drinking/Hydration: Is your cat drinking and eating enough to maintain good hydration?Grooming/Hygiene: Is your cat well groomed?Happy/Content: Does your cat enjoy life – sitting in the sun, being petted, being groomed, sleeping in his special spot, helping with making the bed or computer work and just liking to be around you and the family?Mobility/Activity: How active is your cat?More Good Days Than Bad: Good days are great! Bad days may be filled with depression, frustration, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, falling down or unable to walk, or unmanageable symptoms.
** Over 5 is acceptable in each category. A total of 35 points or less is when quality of life should be questioned and decisions need to be made.

Got paint?
Seems everybody does – and it’s not just on their walls. You probably have paint cans in your closet, on your basement shelves and in the garage. You’re not alone. In 2003, the EPA estimated that in the U.S. alone, there were nearly one million gallons of leftover paint every day. That’s more than 3.6 billion pounds of leftover paint polluting your environment and seeping into your ground water every year. What can you do? The County holds “round-ups” where they’ll dispose of it. They charge a lot and don’t fix the problem! Even though they charge an up front fee or “donation” at the time you drop it off, it still costs taxpayers $100’$ of thou$and$ and the paint still isn’t gone! The majority goes straight into a landfill here in Colorado! What should you do? Recycle it. Take your leftover latex paint to Green Sheen. They will properly dispose of it through recycling. Plus, for a limited time, they will give you a credit toward the purchase of any new (recycled) paint from their large inventory. What else should you do? Demand recycled paint! Next time you paint, buy recycled paint. Next time you hire a painter, demand that he use recycled paint! Green Sheen hand selects its colors and blends latex paint in designer shades just like the original manufactures. The difference? Theirs saves up to 75% off retail and is environmentally friendly. Even on small jobs, the savings add up! Please see our ad on page 12 of Tidbits!GreenSheen303-514-3955

THIS IS A HAMMERBy Samantha Mazzotta
Fruit Fly Swarm Infests Kitchen
Q: How can I get rid of pesky fruit flies? They’re all over my kitchen. -- Stephen F., Warwick, R.I.
A: Fruit flies, as their name indicates, love hanging out around fruit, or any sort of sweetish, sugary item. They’re much more common in the summer months, but it’s not unusual to see them in early spring, particularly in the kitchen, if the conditions are right. A warm environment combined with a bowl of overripe bananas often is all it takes for a few fruit flies to set up housekeeping, and in a few days, it will seem like they’re everywhere.The fastest way to get rid of fruit flies is to hunt down and get rid of items in which they live and breed: namely, overripe, fermented or spoiled fruits, vegetables or other food. They also can thrive in drains, empty containers, mops, piles of damp rags or clothing -- anywhere that liq-uid or food has been allowed to sit and get stagnant. They can even get into your refrigerator.Throw out old food and clean the kitchen or other infested areas. Look behind appliances, including the stove and refrigerator, for dropped food or spilled juices. Check and clean all cabinets, especially those in which food is stored (canned or fresh), in case any food has fallen out of sight and spoiled.Treat drains, including unused or infrequently used drains, by pouring a cup of white vinegar down each and letting it sit for several minutes before rinsing with hot water.If a thorough cleaning doesn’t end the problem, talk with a pest control professional about locating other sources of the infestation and treating with a pesticide.To prevent future infestations or minimize the impact of one (since fruit flies can be brought into the house with fruit and veggies from the store), clean the kitchen and other areas where food is eaten or stored once a week, and reduce the amount of clutter in those areas so the bugs have fewer places to settle in. Treat drains with vinegar once a month, or more frequently if needed. Store garbage in tightly sealed containers and away from entry points like windows or doors. Make sure window screens don’t have holes or small tears that would allow pests through.
HOME TIP: Make a simple fruit fly trap by pouring an ounce or two of apple cider or putting a slice of banana into a glass jar, then rolling a piece of paper into a fun-nel shape and sticking the narrow end of the funnel into the jar. Fruit flies will be attracted down the funnel to the cider, but can’t get out. Send your questions or tips to [email protected], or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Zambian
Emerald
Scott McQueen is the owner of Pinetree Jewelers, Parker’s oldest jewelry store established in 1976. It is located at 11028 S. Pikes Peak Drive in Parker. For more information on gemstones or jewelry of any kind call 303.841.2666
The Zambian emerald, although discovered in the late 40's, was not commercially mined until the 1950's. Today Zambia, located in south-central Africa, is one of the world's leading producers of fine emerald. The Zam-bian emerald is greatly esteemed for its remarkable clarity and its intense color: green through and through. It also retains its mag-nificent hue even in small stones of less than 0.5 ct. Another attraction is price – Zambian emeralds are less expensive in the high-end ranges as prices are three to five times higher for Colombian emeralds than for Zambian, a factor attributable to worldwide demand. Zambia is the first emerald producer to give consumers who cannot spend the enormous sums charged for fine emeralds a chance to buy eye-clean stones on a regular basis. If you would like to see a couple of truly beautiful Zambian emeralds stop in anytime and I’ll be happy to show them to you.

Health, Fitness & Wellness Expo
This week’s column is going to be different from other columns you’ve read. I still have many things to cover in upcoming columns (topics including supplements-what, when, why and how; more talk on nutrition, and some helpful cardio tips). This week I want to talk about the importance of balance in our lives.
In order to find and maintain complete health and wellness, we not only need to take care of our bodies through exercise and healthy eating habits, but we also need to make sure we take care of our minds and our souls. If one of these areas is out of balance, or isn’t being cared for, it can be detrimental to the balance we’re trying to achieve.
I’ll be making a presentation which will include the following topics: weight training, heart health, nutrition, as well as mind/body/soul at the Jenny Lewis HEALTH, FITNESS & WELLNESS EXPO, March 31st, 10am-2pm at the Parker Pace Center. Please come see me and my Straight Up Fitness team, corporate sponsors and our 30 Health & Fitness vendors. We’ll have activities for adults and children, and tons of free stuff! Vendors will provide free goodies to all of our guests! You can also enter our raffle for a chance to win other awesome prizes!
Special thanks to Tim Munday, Publisher of Tidbits of Douglas County and Threaded Ink Media, their support! A special thanks to Pete Solano & Boulder Running Company for their sponsorship and support! This EXPO will be great!
Until next week, yours in health, fitness & wellness,

sets from Henry Ford’s second company and ended up taking it over. Leland named the company after the founder of Detroit, a French explorer named Cadillac, who reportedly was one of Leland’s distant ancestors. He operated the company until 1909, when it was pur-chased by General Motors. Cadillac is noted for pro-ducing the first vehicle with an electric starter in 1912, followed by the first mass-produced car with an eight-cylinder engine. In 1924, the company was also the first to use lacquer paint, giving customers the choice of several different colors, rather than what other com-petitors were offering — black!
• Gothenburg, Sweden, is the birthplace of the Volvo, with the first one rolling out of the factory in 1947. The name came from Latin, meaning “I roll.” Eight years later, the company had produced 15 mil-lion vehicles. Today, Volvo has more than 90,000 em-ployees.
• When you hear the name of John DeLorean, his sleek stainless steel two-seater with the unusual full-wing doors might come to mind. However, DeLorean achieved fame first for his contributions at General
Motors, most notably the Pontiac GTO and Firebird. At age 27, with a Masters degree in automotive en-gineering, he joined the Chrysler organization. Less than a year later, he was working for the Packard Motor Company. Two years later, DeLorean made the move to GM, where he eventually became a vice-president. He is considered by many to be the creator of the “muscle car.” At age 48, he abruptly resigned from GM to start the DeLorean Motor Company. He chose Belfast, Ireland, for his manufacturing plant, and the factory began production in 1981, anticipat-ing sales of 30,000 cars per year. By early 1982, the company had collapsed and was in receivership and closed in November, having produced only 9,000 cars in a 21-month period. • Although we frequently associate Lee Iacocca with the Chrysler Corporation, he initially worked for Ford Motor Company from 1946 to 1978. He was the head designer of the Ford Mustang in 1964 and became president of the company in 1970. Because of ongoing conflict with Henry Ford II, Iacocca was fired in 1978. He joined Chrysler, which was los-ing millions of dollars and on the verge of closure. He went to work rebuilding the company, turning it around completely.

Sell Investments for the Right Rea-
sons It’s important to understand which investments to own, and when to buy them. But you should
also know when it’s time to sell an invest-ment — and why. Unfortunately, many people sell invest-ments for the wrong reasons. Some peo-ple want the money to purchase so-called “hot” investments, even if these new investments aren’t appropriate for their needs. Others own investments that have lost value, and fearing further losses, they decide to sell — thereby violating the old-est rule of investing: “Buy low and sell high.”
These types of behavior can lead to at least two major problems. First, if you’re constantly selling investments, you’ll likely incur fees, commissions and taxes that can erode any returns you did man-age to achieve. And second, by frequently selling off your invest-ments and buying new ones, you’ll find it difficult to follow the type of consistent, long-term financial strategy that’s essential to help you work toward your goals.
If you shouldn’t sell investments to find quick gains or to avoid loss-es that may not even occur, when should you sell? You might want to sell: If your goals have changed — You bought certain investments because you thought they would help you make progress toward your objectives. But over time, your goals may change, so in response, you may need to sell some investments and use the money to pur-chase new ones that are more suitable for your new goals. For ex-ample, early in your career, you might have benefited from owning investments that offered high potential for growth, but as you near retirement, you may need to shift some — but certainly not all — of your growth-oriented vehicles to income-producing ones. If the investments themselves change — You might have bought a stock because you liked the company’s products, business plan or management team. If any of these factors change significantly, though, you might need to re-evaluate your ownership of this invest-ment. If you need to rebalance your portfolio — You may have decided that your investment portfolio should be composed of specific per-centages of stocks, bonds and “cash” instruments. But due to changes in the value of your investments, these percentages can shift some-what, resulting in a portfolio that no longer reflects your goals and risk tolerance. If that happens, you’ll need to rebalance your hold-ings, which may require you to sell some of your investments. If an investment has chronically underperformed — Sometimes, an investment simply doesn’t perform as well as you had hoped. When this happens, you may be better off by selling the investment and using the money to pursue new opportunities. However, don’t rush to judgment. Before you sell an underperforming investment, try to determine why it hasn’t done well. Is it because the market as a whole has slumped? If so, your investment could rebound when the market does. Or are there separate factors, unique to this investment, that have caused its problems? If the investment’s fundamentals and prospects still look good, you might want to simply give it time to prove its worth.
By knowing when you should hold an investment, and when you shouldn’t, you can avoid costly mistakes and help improve your chances for long-term investment success. So think carefully before putting up the “For Sale” sign on your investments.

AFYONI BLACK BELT ACADEMY MARTIAL ARTS OPENS DOORS FOR SPECIAL CHILD SAFETY COMMUNITY
EVENT Parker, Colorado – KARATE FOR KIDS! in PARKER has
announced plans for a community Child Safety Open House scheduled for 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM , March 10,2012. The Open House is part of ATA Martial Arts’ worldwide initiative to help minimize the risk of child abduction through education. With active membership exceeding 350,000 worldwide and 1,200 schools in the U.S. and abroad, ATA is positively positioned to reach children and adults with the message of abduction prevention. As part of the safety campaign, ATA has partnered with AMBER Alert.com to increase AMBER Alert notification via e-mail and personal communication devices. Once an AMBER Alert is issued, AMBER Alert.com uses state-of-the-art technology to notify its subscribers of a missing child in a specific area.
According to local ATA instructor Mr. Eddie Afyoni education is the key to child safety. “Children of all age, gender and race are vulnerable to child abduction. Through age appropriate instruction, awareness of warning signs and ID activities such as fingerprinting, collectively ATA schools around the world hope to have a significant impact on reducing the risk of child abduction and victimization”, says Mr. Eddie Afyoni.

STRANGE BUT TRUEby Samantha Weaver
It was 20th-century American director, screenwriter, play-wright and novelist Ben Hecht who made the following sage observation: “Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.”
If you visualize an image of John Lennon, more likely than not you’ll see him in your mind’s eye wearing a pair of round spectacles. In July of 2007, one pair of those iconic glasses was sold at auction for a whopping $2 mil-lion.
There’s nothing terribly surprising about the fact that an animated version of George Orwell’s famed novel “Ani-mal Farm” was produced in the United States in 1954. What made this production unusual is that the movie rights were bought by, and the film was covertly funded by, the CIA. It was thought that it would be excellent anti-Communist propaganda during the Cold War.
If you’re like 12 percent of American men who are about to get married, you’ll go to a tanning bed before you make that walk down the aisle.
You might be surprised to learn that early automobile magnate Henry Ford was a fan of soy. In the 1940s, the fabric used for the upholstery in some of his cars was made from 25 percent soy. He even owned a soy-based suit of clothing that he would sometimes wear for media events.
The Transportation Security Administration banned ciga-rette lighters on carry-on luggage between 2005 and 2007. During that time, TSA screeners confiscated 22,978 light-ers [SET ITAL]every day[END ITAL]. Safe disposal of those lighters cost the taxpayers approximately $4 million every year.***Thought for the Day: “Obstinacy is the result of the will forcing itself into the place of the intellect.” -- Arthur Schopenhauer

On March 18, 1852, in New York City, Henry Wells and Wil-liam G. Fargo join with several other investors to launch their namesake business. In July 1852, their company shipped its first loads of freight from the East Coast to mining camps scat-tered around northern California.
On March 17, 1901, paintings by the late Dutch painter Vin-cent van Gogh are shown in Paris. Van Gogh had committed suicide 11 years earlier without any notion that his work was destined to win acclaim beyond his wildest dreams. In his life-time, he had sold only one painting.
On March 14, 1914, stock-car racer Lee Arnold Petty (father of Richard Petty) is born near Randleman, N.C. In 1959, he won the Daytona 500. It’s said that Lee Petty never lost a race on account of being too kind to his competitors, even if his competitors were family.
On March 16, 1926, at Auburn, Mass., American Robert God-dard successfully launches the world’s first liquid-fueled rock-et. The 10-foot rocket, fueled by liquid oxygen and gasoline, traveled for 2.5 seconds at a speed of about 60 mph, reaching an altitude of 41 feet and landing 184 feet away.
On March 13, 1942, the Quartermaster Corps of the United States Army begins training dogs for the newly established War Dog Program, or “K-9 Corps.” Perhaps the most famous war dog was Rin Tin Tin, an abandoned puppy of German war dogs found in France in 1918 and taken to the United States, where he made his film debut in the 1922 silent film “The Man From Hell’s River.”
On March 15, 1954, the Chords record “Sh-boom.” The song’s lighthearted melody and nonsensical lyrics kicked off a new era of “doo-wop” music. Doo-wop hits included “Earth Angel” by the Penguins and “In the Still of the Night” by the Five Satins.
On March 12, 1969, the London drug squad appears at house of George Harrison and Pattie Boyd with a warrant and drug-sniffing canines. Sergeant Pilcher, the man behind the raid, was later convicted of planting drugs in other cases and went to jail in 1972.

Sick Leave
I urgently needed a few days off work, but,I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave.
I thought that maybe if I acted 'Crazy' thenhe would tell me to take a few days off.
So I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made fun-ny noises.
My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing.
I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb
so that the Boss might think I was 'Crazy' and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the officeand asked, 'What in the name of good GOD are you doing?'
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, 'You are clearly stressed out.'Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.'
I jumped down and walked out of the office...
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me,the Boss asked her, '..And where do you think you're going?!'
She said, 'I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark.
