TIDBITS® SAYS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOJULY BABIESby Kathy Wolfe

If you have a July birthday, you have that in common with all of the following individuals. Tidbits brings you a few lesser-known details about these famous folks.

• Austria-born celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck learned to cook from his mother, a part-time pastry chef. After immigrating to America at age 25, he worked two years in Indianapolis before becoming a chef in Los Angeles. His fi rst cookbook was published when he was 33. Puck’s fi rst Spago restaurant opened on the Sunset Strip the following year. He now has 19 restaurants. The Beverly Hills Spago has been on the list of the Top 40 restaurants in the United States since 2004. Puck cites macaroons as his absolute favorite food. Had he not chosen his current profession, he says he would have liked to have been an artist. • Although Ginger Rogers is most famous for her movie roles as Fred Astaire’s dancing partner, she only appeared with him in 10 out of her 73 fi lms. Born Virginia McMath, it was her ambition to become a schoolteacher, but at 19, she became a Hollywood star almost overnight. At age 60, she still had her high heels on, dancing the Charleston on an epi-sode of close friend Lucille Ball’s sitcom.turn the page for more!

JULY BABIES (continued):• Original “Saturday Night Live” cast member Dan Aykroyd was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, the son of a policy adviser to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Aykroyd was born with not one, but two interesting physical conditions — syndactyly (webbed toes) and heterochromia, meaning his eyes are different colors. • Will Ferrell is more than just a funny guy, he is also a marathon runner, having competed in several major races, including Boston and New York. After serving as his high school football team’s kicker and working part-time as a bank teller, he went on to study Sports Broadcasting at USC. Ferrell’s father was a backup musician for The Righteous Brothers.• Turning 94 this month hasn’t slowed down comedienne Phyllis Diller, who still appears oc-casionally on television. Although known for her wild hairdos, outlandish costumes and cackling laugh, she is also an accomplished pianist and painter. During World War II, Diller spent her days as a housewife and mother, doing advertis-ing copywriting on the side while her husband worked at a B-24 bomber plant. She makes no attempts to conceal the fact that she’s had at least 15 plastic surgery procedures. • It wasn’t Lisa Kudrow’s first choice to go into the entertainment industry. Kudrow, of “Friends” fame, intended to join her physician father in the medical field. After receiving her degree in biol-ogy from Vassar, she did research on the cause of headaches for eight years. Her brother’s childhood friend, comedian Jon Lovitz, con-vinced her to give comedy a try, and in 2005, she became the highest-paid television actress of all time, along with her “friends” Jennifer Anis-ton and Courteney Cox, earning $1 million per episode of the popular sitcom.

¥ To bring out the natural sweetness of corn on the cob, try sprinkling a little bit of sugar in the pot after the water has come to a boil.

¥ If the scar of a cantaloupe is rough or has a stem attached, the melon was picked too early and won't ripen as well as one with a smooth scar. Also, check the net pattern on the outside; it should be even and an overall tan-yellow color, not green or mottled.

¥ You can remove berry stains from your fingers with lemon juice. Got berry juice on your tablecloth? Here's E.B. of Mississippi's suggestion: "Pour a generous amount of milk on the spot, let it soak for 15 minutes or more. Then soak in cold water with soap for an hour or more. Wash, rinse and dry."

¥ Soak raisins in cold water before chopping so that they won't stick to your knife.

¥ "Use lined-up celery ribs to create a base for your roast. This way, the juices move around more and the roast never sticks to the pan. I serve the celery with the roast, but you don't have to if you don't want to." -- A.T. in Tennessee

¥ Need to chill some drinks for a party fast? Pile on the ice, of course, then add the secret weapon: water. Icy water chills drinks quick-er than placing them in ice alone. The heat is transferred from the warm drinks to the water because there's total contact.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I just wanted to send you a note about something that occurred to me this morning. I was out for my morning run, and on almost every block I found myself waving and smiling to neighbors who were out walking their dogs.I take my own dog, "Riley," out very early each morning, but at 11 years of age he's gotten too old to go running with me. Still, it struck me today how many of my neighbors I've gotten to know just because we're all fel-low dog owners. Even if we don't have long conversations, we all have commiserated over the chore of dragging ourselves out of bed early to walk our dogs, or chatted about how nice (or horrible) the weather is. I real-ized today that I'm acquainted with at least one person on every street that's part of my running route.It's just a nice thought I had about how dogs bring people together. Hope you agree! -- Ri-ley's Mom in Albuquerque

DEAR RILEY'S MOM: That is a fantastic thought! I sometimes wonder about the friend-ships I might not have made if it weren't for my pets.I also think that seeing the same owners and their dogs every day is great for the dog, as well. We stop to catch up on gossip and weath-er, and our dogs get a chance to catch up on ... well, whatever they learn from sniffing each other. At any rate, it's a chance for both dogs and owners to socialize and stay friendly with the neighbors.

JULY BABIES (continued):• Two figure-skating Olympic champions are having their birthday this month. Dorothy Hamill was the ladies’ singles gold medal winner in 1976. Overnight she became “America’s Sweet-heart,” with females across the nation copying her bobbed hairstyle. The Dorothy Hamill doll was introduced shortly afterward. In recent years, she has penned two autobiographies and has survived breast cancer. Kristi Yamaguchi took the Olympic gold in 1992, turning profes-sional immediately afterward. It was at these Olympics that she met her husband, who was a member of the Olympic hockey team. Yamagu-chi’s mother was born in a Japanese internment camp where her grandparents had been sent during World War II. Yamaguchi was the celebri-ty winner of “Dancing with the Stars” in its sixth season. • Richard Starkey turns 71 this month. If you don’t recognize the name, you may have fol-lowed his career as Ringo Starr, the drummer for the Beatles from 1962 to 1970. Starr wasn’t the Beatles’ first choice for their percussionist. He was already playing in Liverpool with the band Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, while Pete Best was drumming for the Beatles. Starr was very ill for much of his childhood and spent two years in a sanatorium recovering from pleurisy. If you’re a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, you’ve heard Starr narrating the character’s first two series on children’s television. • July baby Donald Rumsfeld served as Sec-retary of Defense under two different U.S. presidents, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush. It’s noteworthy that while attending Princeton University as a young man, his roommate was Frank Carlucci, who also went on to serve as Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan.

¥ On July 18, AD 64, the great fire of Rome breaks out and destroys much of the city. Despite the well-known stories, there is no evidence that Roman em-peror Nero either started the fire or played the fiddle while it burned. The fiddle did not even exist at the time. Nero was actually 35 miles away in Antium when the fire broke out.

¥ On July 19, 1879, Doc Holliday commits his first murder, killing a man for shooting up his New Mexico saloon. Despite his formidable reputation as a deadly gunslinger, Doc Holliday only engaged in eight shootouts during his life, and it has only been verified that he killed two men.

¥ On July 20, 1972, a National Highway Traffic Ad-ministration study concludes that 1960-63 Chevro-let Corvair models are safe, contradicting charges made by consumer advocate Ralph Nader. In his 1965 book “Unsafe at Any Speed,” Nader had dedi-cated an entire chapter to the rear-engine car.

¥ On July 21, AD 365, a powerful earthquake off the coast of Greece causes a tsunami that devastates the city of Alexandria, Egypt. It was not until 1995 that archaeologists discovered the ruins of the old city off the coast of present-day Alexandria.

¥ On July 22, 1923, John Herbert Dillinger joins the Navy in order to avoid charges of auto theft in Indiana, marking the beginning of America’s most notorious criminal’s downfall. Years later, Dillinger’s reputation was forged in a single 12-month period, during which he robbed more banks than Jesse James did in 15 years.

¥ On July 23, 1982, Vic Morrow and two child actors are killed in an accident involving a helicopter dur-ing filming on the California set of “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” Special-effects explosions caused the pilot of the low-flying craft to lose control and crash into the three victims.

¥ On July 24, 1901, William Sydney Porter, other-wise known as O. Henry, is released from prison af-ter serving three years in jail for embezzlement from a bank in Austin, Texas. He began writing stories to support his young daughter while he was in prison.

BICYCLES (continued):• In the 1890s, the first “modern” bicycles

appeared: chain-driven vehicles with simi-larly-sized tires. These were safer than the high-wheel models (and were even called “safety bicycles” as a result), but proved a step backwards in comfort. While the long spokes of high-wheel bikes absorbed bumps and ruts, the smaller wheels on these new bikes, particularly when coupled with the hard-rubber tires of the era, made for jarring, unpleasant rides.

• More than a million bicycles were sold in the United States by the time 1895 rolled around, but one last improvement would propel the bicycle into the must-own category: the pneu-matic tire. Under the guidance of the Pope Manufacturing Company (which made bi-cycles), the Hartford Rubber Works produced America’s first pneumatic tires in 1895. Pro-viding a much softer ride, they soon became a standard feature on all bicycle models.

• Dozens of smaller-scale improvements boosted the speed, comfort, longevity and performance of bicycles during the 20th century. As women began to find them as necessary as men, two varieties of bicycle were made. Men’s bikes were built with an extra stabilizer bar across the top of the bike. Women’s bikes omitted the bar, providing for easier mounting and dismounting of the vehicle when wearing skirts.

• The 1970s saw the development of two bi-cycle extremes. First came bicycles that took you nowhere. Otherwise known as exercise bikes, these training aids first hit the home market at the beginning of the decade. Then, as time went on and the energy crisis sent fuel prices skyrocketing, mopeds appeared. These bicycle/motorcycle hybrids, most popular with city-centered business workers, could either be pedaled like a regular bike or powered using a small, low-powered gasoline engine.

JULY BABIES (continued):• J.K. Rowling penned the fi rst book of the Harry Potter series as a single mom living on welfare. Within fi ve years, she was a millionaire. She conceived the idea of the boy wizard while sitting through a four-hour train delay back in 1990. Seven books and 4,195 pages later, Forbes magazine estimates her net worth in excess of $1 billion. The series has been translated into 65 languages. • Remembered for her extravagant collection of 2,700 pairs of shoes, former fi rst lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos is a former Miss Philippines. To put her shoes in a mathematical equation, if she were to change her shoes three times a day, never putting on the same pair twice, it would take upwards of two years and fi ve months to wear them all. She and her hus-band Ferdinand plundered millions of dollars of the country’s wealth during their 21-year tenure. • Walter Payton, one of the NFL’s most incred-ible running backs, played his entire pro football career with the Chicago Bears, shattering league records left and right. His father, a factory worker, had played semi-pro baseball for a time. Payton spent his early high school years play-ing drums in the school marching band, singing in the choir and as a member of the track team. During his NFL career, he enjoyed playing prac-tical jokes on his fellow Bears and was known to run to the locker room after a game and lock the door, leaving his teammates standing in the cold as he took a long, hot shower. During pileups on the fi eld, it wasn’t uncommon for him to untie the refs’ shoelaces. Off the fi eld, he loved to cook and play chess and was an accomplished dancer. Sadly, he contracted a rare liver disease, which progressed into bile duct cancer and claimed his life at age 45.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:MICHAEL J. FOXCanadian celebrity Michael J. Fox, struck down at the height of his career, has used his adver-sity to further the search for a cure for illness. Here are some facts about this optimistic indi-vidual who has chosen to overcome his disabili-ties. • The Edmonton-born Fox moved several times as a child, the result of his father’s military career, fi nally settling in British Columbia. As a 15-year-old, he made his acting debut in a Cana-dian sitcom, “Leo and Me.” As he devoted more time to his passion for acting, his schoolwork was neglected and before long, he was fl unking nearly every class. He made the decision to drop out of high school to pursue his career, some-thing he now calls a “stupid youthful mistake.” His social studies teacher advised him, “You’re making a big mistake, Fox. You won’t be cute forever.” Fox achieved his GED 15 years after dropping out.• At 18, Fox moved to Los Angeles. It wasn’t an easy road as he struggled to make a name for himself, and he lived on macaroni and cheese for months. He had sold all his furniture to survive shortly before landing his breakout role as Alex P. Keaton on TV’s “Family Ties” at age 21. Over the series’ seven-year run, he collected three Emmy Awards. In the midst of the sitcom, he took on the role of time-traveling teen Marty McFly in “Back to the Future,” a huge box-offi ce hit, followed up by two sequels. • It was on to “Spin City” in 1996, where he portrayed New York’s deputy mayor, a role that earned Fox three Golden Globes and an Emmy.

Many of us are probably going to take some weekend trips this summer. We can still main-tain weight loss success during those trips with just a little planning. 1. Eat regularly. Skipping meals may cause you to overeat when you eventually consume a meal. 2. Pack plenty of water. Water is the most essential nutrient to the body. It may be the most important nutrient for achieving weight loss. Water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actu-ally reduce fat deposits. Water is involved in many metabolic functions in the body. As little as a 2% loss of body water results in a decreased basal metabolic rate and lack of energy. Reports of water intoxication may have you worried about consuming too much water. This is unlikely, unless you are a marathon runner or involved in similar strenuous activi-ties (hiking or cycling) for several hours in heat. 3. Take skim milk, and/or diet beverages along with convenient low-fat, low-calorie snacks. Good items to bring include fresh fruit, carrot or celery sticks, yogurt, Diet Cen-ter Fudge Bars, Meal Replacement Bars, or Diet Center snacks. 4. When stopping at convenient stores or rest stops, make sure to read labels and choose individually packaged foods for portion con-trol.

5. When eating at restaurants, choose foods with less fat and sodium. Terms used to describe menu items can give you clues to which have more fat and sodium. Items you may want to order that have less fat may be described with the following terms: baked, braised, poached, broiled, steamed, cooked in own juices, Cajun, roasted, grilled, or stir-fried. Foods you should avoid may have these descriptions: fried, creamed, breaded, pastry, hollandaise, prime, rich, sautéed, scalloped, en croute, pan fried, au gratin, or with thick sauce. To limit sodium, avoid foods described with these terms: barbecued, cured, in broth, smoked, marinated, pickled, teriyaki, or with béchamel/Creole/cocktail or soy sauce. 6. Be assertive about menu questions and special requests. If terms are unfamiliar to you, don’t be afraid to ask your server how an item is prepared. Becoming familiar with menu language will help you make wise choices, so you can enjoy eating out and still make prog-ress with your Diet Center or other weight loss program! 7. Keep your portion sizes in mind. 8. Staying active can also help you make it through the weekend. Enjoy the trip with a relaxing walk around the town, a fun bike ride, or a cool swim! You can also go site seeing or visit museums. Plan a little, move your body, and choose foods wisely while you’re out; and you can maintain your weight loss progress! Thank you for reading Diet Center’s tip of the week. Please let Diet Center help you meet those weight loss goals once and for all. Please call 928-753-5066 or stop by 1848 Hope Ave. in Kingman.

MICHAEL J. FOX (continued):• It was during the filming of “Doc Hollywood” in 1991 that Fox first noticed an incontrollable twitching in his finger. Shortly afterward, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a condition he chose to keep secret. On the set of “Spin City” he often kept his left hand in his pocket. This degenerative neurological disorder affects one in 100 people over age 60. Fox was 29. Those with the disease experience tremors, balance problems, slowness, reduced facial expression and an inability to direct their move-ments. • Fox went public in 1998 and underwent a thalamotomy, a procedure that surgically de-stroys a portion of the brain’s thalamus, effec-tive in dramatically reducing tremors. In 2000, as his symptoms became worse, he announced his departure from “Spin City.” He established The Michael J. Fox Foundation, devoted to research for a cure for Parkinson’s. He continues to take limited short-term acting roles, as well as pro-viding voices for a variety of popular children’s films. • Fox has added best-selling author to his list of accomplishments with the publication of “Lucky Man,” followed by “Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist.” He main-tains that staying upbeat is the key to fighting his disease and jokes about brushing his teeth, saying it’s “like having an electric toothbrush without the battery.” In his words, “There’s always failure. And there’s always disappoint-ment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.” Time magazine has placed him on their list of 100 people “whose power, talent or moral example is transforming the world.”

¥ It was Danish author, philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard who made the following sage observation: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."

¥ After the release of Alfred Hitchcock's iconic film "The Birds," pet stores all over the country saw a sharp decline in the sales of pet birds.

¥ You might be surprised to learn that dur-ing the first airing of the original "Star Trek" series, no episode ranked higher than No. 52 in the ratings.

¥ According to the Guinness Book of Re-cords, it was poor Donna Griffiths who suf-fered the longest sneezing fit ever recorded. On Jan. 13, 1981, the 12-year-old girl started sneezing, and she continued sneezing every day for more than two and a half years.

¥ If you're like the average American, you eat 20 quarts of ice cream every year.

¥ I'm sure you've heard the term "dimwit" used as an insult, but, as it turns out, the word is more descriptive than derogatory. The human brain actually uses less power than a 100-watt light bulb.

¥ A man named Patrick Hooligan lived in Lon-don in the mid-1800s. He was such a notori-ous troublemaker that his name is still used today to refer to ruffians and hoodlums.

¥ In 1909, in England, one Lord Barbazon took a pig up for a ride in an airplane. Bovines seemingly got short shrift; the first cow didn't take to the air until 1930. It was in February of that year that a cow was loaded into an airplane in St. Louis. It was milked during the flight, and the milk was parachuted to earth.***Thought for the Day: "He's turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miser-able. Now he's miserable and depressed." -- David Frost

CANADIAN CELEBRITIESMany talented individuals call Canada home. You’re probably not aware of how many familiar faces are natives of “up north.” Let’s take a look at just a few. • Rick Moranis played a nutty scientist who shrunk his kids in the 1989 Disney fi lm, then “blew up” the kids in the 1992 sequel. Born in Toronto, Moranis worked at several local radio stations before branching out into movies. He retired from fi lms in 1997 to devote time to being a single father following the death of his wife from liver cancer. • Montreal was the birthplace of the man we know as Captain James T. Kirk of “Star Trek” fame. William Shatner was trained as a Shake-spearean actor, with regular performances at Ontario’s Stratford Festival of Canada. He hit the big screen at age 20 in a Canadian fi lm called “The Butler’s Night Off” and moved into televi-sion three years later at age 23 as Ranger Bob on “The Canadian Howdy Doody Show.” He made his debut as captain of the U.S.S. Enter-prise in 1966 at age 35. • Ontario-born Rachel McAdams, star of “The Notebook” and “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” is the daughter of a truck driver and a nurse. She fi rst excelled in fi gure skating competitions. As a teenager, she was acting in summer Shake-spearean productions and working at McDon-ald’s. She was a top choice for the “Bond girl” in the 2006 fi lm “Casino Royale” but turned it down.• British Columbia crooner Michael Buble longed to be a professional hockey player for the Vancouver Canucks but didn’t believe he had the ability. Instead, he worked six summers as a youth as a commercial fi sherman. Regularly compared to Frank Sinatra, Buble has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide.

CANADIAN CELEBRITIES (continued):• Television viewers fi rst saw him as a young doctor in his six-year stint on the hospital drama “St. Elsewhere.” Today, Howie Mandel is popular as the host of “Deal or No Deal,” both the U.S. and Canadian versions. This Toronto native is a distant cousin to violinist Itzhak Perlman. He suffers from mysophobia, an irrational fear of germs, and fi nds it impossible to shake hands with his game show contestants without la-tex gloves and prefers to share “fi st pounds.” Mandel also has attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In 2009, he released his auto-biography entitled “Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me.”• Although best known for his hosting of “Jeop-ardy!,” Ontario-born Alex Trebek actually started his television career as a newscaster for the CBC following graduation from the University of Ottawa. Trebek made history in 1991, when he became the only host to moderate three daily U.S. game shows at once — “Jeopardy!,” “Clas-sic Concentration” and “To Tell the Truth.” • Yet another Canadian hosted a well-known game show for many years, offering contestants the choice of Door No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3. Monte Halperin, better known as Monty Hall, began hosting “Let’s Make a Deal” in 1963. Hall is a graduate of the University of Manitoba with a degree in chemistry and zoology. • What do Canadian singers Avril Lavigne and Gordon Lightfoot have in common? Both sang in church choirs in their native Ontario before making it big in the music industry. • Nova Scotia native Sarah McLachlan started playing musical instruments at age 5, beginning with the ukulele. Her debut album came at age 20, and she has sold over 40 million recordings in the 22 years since.
