TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT
NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond
Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in
1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.
• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.
• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

• On May 7, 1896, Dr. H.H. Holmes, one of America's first well-known serial killers, is hanged to death in Philadelphia. Although not as well known as Jack the Ripper, authorities discovered the remains of more than 200 victims on Holmes' property.
• On May 6, 1937, the airship Hindenburg, the largest dirigible ever built and the pride of Nazi Germany, bursts into flames upon touching its mooring mast in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 36
passengers and crewmembers. The lighter-than-air craft was lifted by highly flammable hydrogen gas.
• On May 5, 1945, in Lakeview, Ore., Mrs. Elsie Mitchell and five neighborhood children are killed while attempting to drag a Japanese balloon out of the woods. Unbeknownst to Mitchell and the children, the balloon was armed, and it exploded soon after they began tampering with it.
• On May 3, 1952, a ski-modified U.S. Air Force C-47 piloted by Lt. Col. Joseph O. Fletcher of Oklahoma and Lt. Col. William P. Benedict of California becomes the first aircraft to land on the North Pole. A moment later, Fletcher climbed out of the plane and walked to the exact geographic North Pole, probably the first person in history to do so.
• On May 4, 1965, San Francisco Giants outfielder
Willie Mays hits his 512th career home run to break Mel Ott's National League record for home runs. Mays would finish his career with 660 home runs, good for third on the all-time list at the time of his retirement.
• On May 2, 1972, after nearly five decades as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover dies just as the Watergate affair is about to explode onto the national stage. An inquiry later revealed that the FBI had illegally protected President Richard Nixon from investigation.
• On May 8, 1988, Stella Nickell is convicted of murder by a Seattle jury. She was the first person to be found guilty of violating the Federal Anti-Tampering Act after putting cyanide in Excedrin capsules in an effort to kill her husband. She began planning his death after their 1976 honeymoon.

You might be surprised to find out that the largest irrigated crop in the United States is grass. There are 40 million acres of lawn in homes and business across the nation. A lawnmower produces as much pollution in one short hour as a car does in 20 miles of operation, and we pour billions of pounds of pesticides on our grass every year. To reduce the environmental impact of your yard, consider collecting rainwater in a barrel to water it and/or cut down your lawn’s irrigated square footage by adding landscaping rocks or a vegetable garden.

By Samantha Weaver
• It was American novelist and editor Edgar Watson Howe who made the following sage observation: "Americans detest all lies except lies spoken in public or printed lies."
• Those who study such things say that ancient Egyptians had bowling alleys. • In 1980 a woman named Rosie Ruiz appeared to have won the Boston Marathon in the fastest time ever recorded for a woman in that race. However, after a number of suspicions surfaced (including a strange lack of fatigue at the end of the long race), it was found that she hadn't actually run the entire race and was stripped of her medal. The tale doesn't end there, though. Once word got out about her fraud, people came forward with information regarding her recent running of the New York Marathon. It seems that Ms. Ruiz started the race and then took the subway to a spot 2 miles from the finish line. And in a further note, she didn't come to a good end: Two years later she was arrested for embezzling $60,000 from her employer, and she was later arrested again for allegedly trying to sell two kilos of cocaine to a Miami police officer. • If you're afraid of lightning, you might want to skip over this next tidbit: At any given time around the world, there are 1,800 thunderstorms taking place. • You may have heard that the air that leaves your body when you sneeze can reach speeds of up to 115 mph, but you may not know that ordinary exhalations travel at about 15 mph.***Thought for the Day: "When a man says he approves of something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it into practice." -- Otto von Bismarck

PAW’S CORNERBy Sam Mazzotta
Dog Leaves His Mark While Owners Sleep
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: About a year ago, we adopted an 18-month-old mutt. “Bud-dy” is a great dog, but he has one continu-ing problem: He urinates and defecates in the living room in the middle of the night. We don’t feed or water him after about 7 p.m., and I take him out nightly at 10. He is otherwise very well housebroken. The only thing that has worked so far is put-ting him in his crate overnight, but my husband says it’s cruel. Is there any other solution? -- Janice in Lewiston, Calif.
DEAR JANICE: Actually, crating is one of the first methods to try in this case, and it can be successful in stopping the problem (though not necessarily the be-havior, as Buddy has demonstrated). But some people do feel that crating is cruel, so I understand your husband’s feelings about it.Have you mentioned this problem to Buddy’s vet and had him examined for any physical problem? It’s always good to make sure he’s healthy. Also talk to the vet about Buddy being adopted. He may have picked up a bad habit at his former
home, or he might still be experiencing some stress from leaving one home and then coming to another one.If the problem is behavioral, continue housebreaking with Buddy. A key part of stopping the overnight elimination is to not allow him into areas of the house in which he has already left his “mark,” so to speak. If this is not possible, you may have to continue with the crating, or you may want to consult a professional trainer for more in-depth ideas on solving this di-lemma.

Spring Savings
Spring is a great time to do repairs and preventative maintenance on your vehicle and home, and to save money in other ways, too. Here are some ideas:Car maintenance: If you live in a snow area, run your vehicle through a car wash that includes under-carriage spray to remove road salts and avoid corrosion. Schedule a tune-up and oil change. Make sure fluids are topped off and tires are at the right air pressure. Invest in a small tube of car paint (get this from your dealer for an accurate match) to cover any dings or scrapes.House: Compare heating bills from this recent winter and winters past. While the prices might have changed, you can compare your actual
usage. If your heat usage went up this winter, consider why. If you have an older home, you might be in line for more attic insulation before next winter. While up in the attic to check insulation depth, use
a flashlight to look at the plywood roofing, and around vents and eaves: Are there any signs of water leaks?If you had window drafts, you might find sales on new windows over the summer. At the very least, put caulking on your list of things to do.Walk around the house and check for any winter damage to siding and the roof. Don't forget the foundation. If you need repair work you can't do yourself, get estimates early, as summer is the busiest construction season.Children: Scout charity and thrift shops for children's summer play clothes. If you find bargains on items they can wear to school in the fall (and if you're sure of sizes), select a few outfits to get them started and avoid last-minute shopping panic.Local summer day camps
can be an economical way to let your children experience camp without going too far from home. Investigate camps sponsored by the YMCA and local church and youth groups. Inquire about low-income scholarships, if you qualify, and sign up early before all the slots are filled.If you're hoping for a family vacation this year, check a new book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Best Family Destinations." In spite of the title, the publication is packed with information on vacation spots in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, including beaches, outdoor adventures, historical sites, amusement parks and much more.

You might be surprised to find out that the largest irrigated crop in the United States is grass. There are 40 million acres of lawn in homes and business across the nation. A lawnmower produces as much pollution in one short hour as a car does in 20 miles of operation, and we pour billions of pounds of pesticides on our grass every year. To reduce the environmental impact of your yard, consider collecting rainwater in a barrel to water it and/or cut down your lawn’s irrigated square footage by adding landscaping rocks or a vegetable garden.
