AUGUST EVENTS (continued):• In August of 1914, the 48-mile (77-km) Panama Canal opened to ship traffi c, with its fi rst cargo liner, the SS Ancon. It had been under construction since 1904, and opening day was two years ahead of schedule. Nearly 27,500 people lost their lives during the con-struction. By passing through the canal, a ship sailing from New York to San Francisco saves about 8,000 miles (12,875 km) over a trip around the tip of South America’s Cape Horn. During the canal’s early days, about 1,000 ships passed through each year. That fi gure today is close to 15,000 ships making the nine-hour pass between the Pacifi c and Atlantic Oceans. • August is a month for stray baseballs! In 1979, Seattle Mariner Ruppert Jones hit a foul ball in the Kingdome that stuck in the stadium’s loud-

speaker above the fi rst base line. The following August, Yankee Bob Watson had a hit off the Kingdome’s center-fi eld speaker. The very next day, Watson did exactly the same thing! Shortly after that feat, the speakers were raised from 102 feet (31 m) above the fi eld to 132 feet (40.2 m). In August of 1983, Yankee pitcher Dave Win-fi eld threw a warm-up ball and accidentally struck and killed a seagull at the Toronto Blue Jays’ stadium. But pitcher Nolan Ryan was in complete control during August of 1989 when he became the fi rst Major League pitcher to achieve 5,000 strikeouts. By the time he retired four years later, he had struck out 5,714 batters. • It’s been 34 years this month since the death of Elvis Presley at age 42 at his Grace-land home. The offi cial cause of death was listed as coronary arrhythmia. The King’s fu-

neral was held at his home, with a procession-al to Forest Hill Cemetery following the ser-vice. More than 80,000 people lined the route. • Henry Leland founded the Cadil-lac Automobile Company in August of 1902, naming it after his ancestor, French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701. • When William Gray’s wife became very ill in 1888, he was in desperate need of a tele-phone to call a doctor. There were very few phones in Hartford, Connecticut, and Gray ran to a neighboring factory, begging to use theirs, but was told it was not for public use. When the owners fi nally gave in to his pleading, the doctor was reached, and Mrs. Gray recovered. This incident spurred Gray, a machinist, to in-vent a coin-operated telephone. He received

The non-sibling with whom you share a grandparent is your first cousin, If you share a great-grandparent, but not a grandparent or parent, it’s your second cousin. The child of your first cousin is your first cousin “once removed,” indicating the number of generations separating you from each other. “First cousin once removed” and “second cousin” are not the same thing!

You know it’s a hot summer when farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

There are three components of UV light — UVA, UVB and UVC. A sunburn is caused by UVB light, which causes immediate damage. The UVA light used by a tanning bed may be more dangerous because the light penetrates more deeply into the layers of the skin.

his patent in August of 1889, and the fi rst pay-phone was installed at a local bank. By 1902, the United States was home to 81,000 payphones.• The fi rst and last atomic bombings in history took place in August of 1945. The United States dropped the fi rst nuclear weap-on, known as “Little Boy,” on Hiroshima, Ja-pan, on August 6 and the second, called “Fat Man,” on Nagasaki three days later. Fatality es-timates for Hiroshima were 90,000 to 160,000 people and 60,000 to 80,000 for Nagasaki. • On an August morning in 1907, Seattle residents shopped at the Pike Place Market for the fi rst time. This famous street market came into being because citizens were tired of being overcharged for their produce. Avoiding the middleman, farmers brought their wares to the corner of First Avenue and Pike Street, and were met by more than 10,000 shoppers. Today the Market’s nine acres house more than 200 full-time businesses and 190 craftspeople, as well as 100 farmers who rent space by the day. The Market is also home to 300 apartments. It’s now one of Washington state’s most popular tourist attractions, drawing 10 million visitors annually. • Visit Twinsburg, Ohio, during the fi rst week-end of August, and you can get in on the Twins Day Festival. When it began in 1976, the com-munity hosted 37 sets of twins. Attendance reached a peak of 2,680 sets in 1994 and settled in at 1,700 last year. The Festival doesn’t lim-it itself just to twins —They happily welcome all multiples to a weekend with featuring s pa-rade, talent shows and musical entertainment. • We’ve all heard of the Cy Young Award, but how much do we really know about Cy Young? Denton T. (Cy) Young pitched his fi rst major league baseball game in August of 1890 for the Cleveland Spiders. He was the fi rst to pitch a perfect game and was responsible for

¥ On Aug. 23, 1814, during the war of 1812, fi rst lady Dolley Madison abandoned the couple’s personal belongings to save the full-length portrait of former president George Washington from desecrati on by vengeful Briti sh soldiers. The next night, Briti sh troops burned the White House.

¥ On Aug. 24, 1875, Captain Matt hew Webb of Great Britain becomes the fi rst man to successfully swim the English Channel without assistance. Webb reached shore in 21 hours and 45 minutes. In 1883, Webb at-tempted to swim the Niagara River, and drowned in 10 minutes. His body was found four days later.

¥ On Aug. 28, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson is pick-eted by woman suff ragists in front of the White House, who demand that he support an amendment to the Consti tuti on that would guarantee women the right to vote. Wilson had a history of lukewarm support for women’s suff rage even, though he was a former teacher at a women’s college and the father of two daughters.

¥ On Aug. 26, 1939, television stati on W2XBS in New York City broadcasts a doubleheader between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds from Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. It was the fi rst Major League Base-ball game ever aired on television.

¥ On Aug. 25, 1944, aft er more than four years of Nazi occupati on, Paris is liberated by the French 2nd Ar-mored Division and the U.S. 4th Infantry Division. Ger-man General Dietrich von Cholti tz defi ed an order by Adolf Hitler to blow up Paris’ landmarks and burn the city to the ground before its liberati on.

¥ On Aug. 27, 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, is found dead of an accidental drug overdose in his Sussex, England, home. The world might never have heard of the Beatles were it not for Epstein. Just a few months aft er being hired he got them their fi rst recording contract with Parlophone Records.

¥ On Aug. 29, 1982, Swedish-born actress and three-ti me Academy Award winner Ingrid Bergman dies of cancer in London on her 67th birthday. Bergman was best known for her role as Ilsa Lund in “Casablanca.”

AUGUST EVENTS (continued):many other records, some of which still stand. Young has the most career wins (511) and the most innings pitched (7,355) during his 22-year pro ball career. The Cy Young Award, which honors the season’s best pitcher, was established in 1956, the year after his death. • The United States’ fi rst offi cial census com-menced on the fi rst Monday in August of 1790. • During the fi rst week of August every year, the community of Sturgis, South Dakota, popu-lation 6,400, hosts the Black Hills Classic Mo-torcycle Rally. Begun in 1938 with nine bikers in a half-mile race, the event now draws hun-dreds of thousands of participants. Record-setting attendance was at the rally’s 60th an-niversary in 2000, when more than 600,000 bikers cruised into Sturgis. In 1976, the aver-age amount spent per person was $50. Today that fi gure tops $1,000. The community’s busi-nesses earn 95 percent of their annual revenue during this one week, and the state’s coffers are fi lled with about $1 million in sales tax alone.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:JESSE OWENS

Track and fi eld Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens set record after record, but not without having to hurdle over many obstacles along the way. This collection of facts will help you learn more about this amazing champion. • James Cleveland Owens was the son of a sharecropper farmer and the grandson of a slave. His family migrated from Alabama in 1922 when he was nine years old, joining 1.5 million other African Americans moving north out of the segregated South. The Owens family settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where Owens received his lifelong nickname from a teacher who had dif-fi culty with his Southern drawl. Called “J.C.” by his family, when he told the teacher his name, she interpreted it as “Jesse,” and the name stuck.• As a young boy, Owens took odd jobs to help his family — delivering groceries, loading freight cars and working at the local shoe repair shop. His running career started during junior high under the encouragement of coach Charles Riley, who allowed him to practice early in the morning in order to make it to his after-school job. • During his years at Cleveland’s East Tech-nical High School, Owens matched the world re-cord in the 100-yard (91-m) dash of 9.4 seconds. It was on to Ohio State University, where he be-came known as the “Buckeye Bullet.” At 1935’s NCAA Big Ten meet in Ann Arbor, Owens set three world records and tied a fourth, a feat ac-complished over a 45-minute span. His long jump record of 26 feet, 8.25 inches (8.13 m) was to endure for 25 years. His college career boasted a record eight individual NCAA championships. • Yet for all his success, Owens was made to live off campus, as were all African American athletes. When traveling with the team, he was forced to eat at blacks-only restaurants and over-night at blacks-only hotels, separate from the rest of the team. He received no scholarships for his athletic prowess, having to pay for his schooling through part-time jobs as a waiter, night elevator operator and gas station attendant. • Owens traveled to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin under a cloud of racial preju-dice. Adolf Hitler, hoping for German domina-tion at the Games, was promoting “Aryan racial superiority,” and Nazi propaganda portrayed Africans as inferior. Owens took the world by surprise when he took the gold in the 100 me

Canned Vegetables Are Bett er Than None

Did you know it’s possible to suff er from malnutriti on even if you’re eati ng three ti mes a day? That can happen easily to seniors who fi nd it hard to be moti vated to cook and end up just snacking throughout the day.

A changing sense of smell and taste, loneliness aft er the death of a spouse, medicati ons and boredom are a few of the reasons we don’t eat as well as we should. But with a litt le ingenuity, it’s easy to fi x fast, easy meals you’ll actually eat! Here are some ideas:

¥ Use your slow cooker. All the ingredients are assembled in the pot in the morning, and

are ready by dinnerti me.¥ The variety of cookbooks on the market

is amazing. Investi gate cookbooks that off er recipes with only fi ve ingredients, diabeti c recipes, meals that take less than 20 minutes to prepare, and prepared foods combined with your own easy additi ons.

¥ Double the amounts you prepare, and freeze the rest for days when you really don’t want to cook at all. Be sure to label the container and use it within a few weeks.

¥ If income allows, consider ordering one week of a plan where meals are delivered to your door. While the cost would be prohibiti ve to do this constantly, having a few meals in the freezer would be handy for those ti mes you don’t want to cook.

¥ Take a cooking class and learn steps to fi x quick meals.

¥ Ask your doctor for a referral to a nutriti onist if you need help with creati ng a menu, porti on sizes and nutriti onal values.

I have taken medicines that ease the pain. My back isn’t as sore as it once was, but it still bothers me. Acupuncture has been suggested. What are your views on it? -- M.L.

ANSWER: I have no misgivings about trying acupuncture for pain relief. The Chinese have used it for centuries. Any treatment that lasts that long must have some value. Fine needles are inserted into the skin at specifi c points and are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes. From time to time, the acupuncturist stimulates the needles.The American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society endorse acupuncture. A recent review article in the New England Journal of Medicine, a premier medical journal, also endorsed it. Who am I not to follow suit?Back pain strikes almost everyone at some point in life. The booklet on it discusses its causes and treatments. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 303W,

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 four weeks for delivery. ***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: It’s that time of year again -- the no-see-um season. I can feel a sharp sting when bitten. It goes away and then returns as a large swelling with incessant itching. What can I do to prevent this reaction? Others don’t react this bad. I also use DEET to deter these diabolical pests. Should I wash it off as soon as I get indoors? -- C.R.

ANSWERS: No-see-ums got that name because they’re barely visible, only 1/16th of an inch. Dawn and dusk are their busiest hours. Avoidance is the best protection. The red welt you describe arises about 12 or more hours after the bite and can be as large as an inch in diameter. It does itch.DEET is the best repellent, but it’s not a 100 percent barrier for all users. Have you tried a higher concentration? Are you following label directions regarding when to reapply it? When you get back home, wash treated skin with soap and water. Also, you can spray your clothes with permethrin. It will give you additional protection. Wear long slacks tucked into your socks and long-sleeved tops.As for the itch, antihistamines are suggested. I admit they don’t work for everyone.

JESSE OWENS (continued):ters, the 200 meters, the long jump and, as a member of the relay team, became the fi rst American track and fi eld athlete to win four gold medals in a single Olympiad. On the fi rst day of competition, Hitler shook hands with German winners only, leaving the stadium im-mediately afterward. When Olympic offi cials were adamant that he either congratulate ev-ery medalist or greet none, Hitler declined to attend the remaining medal presentations. • The racial prejudice continued on the home front when Owens had to ride the freight el-evator at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to a reception following a ticker-tape parade honoring his victories. He later said that Franklin Roosevelt, “snubbed me. The President didn’t even send me a telegram.” Yet that didn’t hinder Owens from becom-ing a sought-after inspirational speaker and serving underprivileged youth. Surprisingly, this fi ne athlete was a cigarette smoker for 35 years and succumbed to lung cancer at age 66.

WOODSTOCKIt was 41 years ago this month that Woodstock made the headlines as the biggest rock festival of its time. Tidbits invites you to learn more about

this musical gathering as we revisit the event. • Its offi cial title was “The Woodstock Music and Art Fair — an Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music.” Dairy farmer Max Yasgur agreed to allow the festival to be held on his 600-acre farm near Bethel, New York, a community 43 miles southwest of Woodstock, New York. • The citizens of Bethel immediately pro-tested the upcoming gathering, and promot-ers continually told town offi cials that there would be no more than 50,000 attendees. About 186,000 advance tickets were sold prior to the

¥ To clean out the drawers of my husband’s tool cabi-net without disturbing the tools, I tucked a knee-high panty hose leg over my vacuum cleaner wand. Most things stayed put, but the one or two small pieces of hardware that got sucked up were easily retrieved. I did this on his workbench too. I picked up all the dust and shavings along with the stray pieces of hardware. I pulled the hardware out of the hose leg, and they were in a ti dy pile for him to put away. -- U.L. in Kansas

¥ Ripen a green tomato by wrapping it in a sheet of newspaper or placing it in a small, plain paper bag. Leave it on the counter, and check it daily unti l ripe.

¥ To keep ice cream from dripping out of the bott om of a cone, just place a small marshmallow or a piece of marsh-mallow in the bott om of the cone before you fi ll it.

¥ Our family loves to make our own pizza, and we pur-chase dough from a pizzeria. On pizza nights, I pick up the dough fi rst thing on the way home from work. I get it close to where I work and let it sit in a bowl in the car while I pick up the kids and drive home. It takes about 45 minutes, so it’s risen nicely while we’ve been on the go. -- E.F. in New York

There are three components of UV light — UVA, UVB and UVC. A sunburn is caused by UVB light, which causes immediate damage. The UVA light used by a tanning bed may be more dangerous because the light penetrates more deeply into the layers of the skin. YOUR BUSINESS HEREfor more information call (573) 259-4329

To Crate or Not to Crate?

Q: What’s your view of kennel cages? My wife hates the idea of using one to train our dog Sandy, but I disagree. What do you say? -- Jerry in Las Cruces, N.M.

A: I’m personally OK with the concept of crating (or “kennel cages”). It’s an effective way to housetrain a puppy (who won’t soil a sleeping or living area) and teaches it to stay comfortable and relaxed in a similar container, the travel crate, which is essential to traveling with your dog.However, I do see frequent instances where the crate is misused, with negative conse-quences for dog and owner alike.The crate also serves as a home or den

for your dog. So it always has to be seen by Sandy as a safe place to be, perhaps the safest place in the house for her. If you use the crate to punish Sandy, such as shutting her up in it when she’s being hyperactive or disobedient, she could associate it with negative feelings and avoid going into it. I recommend you learn as much as you can about using the crate to train Sandy. The American Dog Trainers Network has a list of tips on furnishing the crate, getting her to ac-cept it and using it as a positive training tool. Find the list here: http://www.inch.com/~dogs/cratetraining.html. It also includes important safety tips, such as always removing Sandy’s collar before putting her into the crate, and making sure she’s not left in an environment that’s too hot or freezing cold.

WOODSTOCK (continued):concert at a price of $18, about $105 in today’s money. Promoters were expecting 200,000 fans. • Three days before the festival was to begin, the organizers realized that the fences around the area would present a problem with the antic-ipated crowds and removed them. This resulted in the concert becoming free for thousands that streamed into the area. By the time the music was set to begin, there were 500,000 concert-goers.• The fi rst band to sign a contract for the festival was Creedence Clearwa-ter Revival for the sum of $10,000. • Rains in the days prior to the event pro-duced muddy roads and fi elds. Massive traffi c jams clogged roads unequipped for the volume of people. There were inadequate sanitation fa-cilities and fi rst-aid for the number of people and shortages of food and water. But nothing seemed to dampen the spirits of the fans as they listened to a total of 32 performances at the three-day event, including Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, the Grateful Dead and Joan Baez. Artists that may have forever regretted declin-ing the offer to perform included the Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Doors and Led Zeppelin. • Three recorded deaths occurred during the Woodstock Festival, including a heroin over-dose. Another concert-goer sleeping in a neighboring hayfi eld was killed when a trac-tor ran over him. A baby was born in a car stuck in the traffi c jam, while another mother-to-be was airlifted by helicopter from the scene to a nearby hospital where she gave birth. • It was the organizers’ wish that the Fes-tival be closed out with singing cowboy Roy Rogers crooning “Happy Trails,” but when ap-proached by the executive producer, Rogers turned him down. Fans had to settle for Jimi Hendrix shutting it down on Monday morning. • When Max Yasgur was approached about a 1970 encore festival, the answer was no, in Yas-gur’s words, “I’m going back to running a dairy farm.” He was sued by neighbors for property damage and incurred severe damage to his own farm. He was awarded a $50,000 settlement. The community of Bethel further prevented a second concert by passing “mass gathering” laws. Yasgur sold his farm in 1971 and died two years later at age 53. Rolling Stone maga-zine featured a full-page obituary, something that very few non-musicians have ever received. • The year after Woodstock, a documentary fi lm chronicling the event was released, an ef-fort that received the Academy Award for Best Documentary. The proceeds fi nanced the settle-ments of the 80 lawsuits that were fi led against the organizers, as well as their $1.4 million debt.
