TIDBITS® SERVES UP A HEALTHY

BREAKFAST

by Kathy Wolfe

What’s for breakfast? Since September is all-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits is checking out what’s in the cupboard for the best meal of the day.

• What do eggs, bacon, oatmeal, toast, and waffles have in common? They’re all jentacular, which is a fancy word for “pertaining to breakfast.”

• Drs. John Harvey Kellogg and William K. Kellogg first produced the wheat flake in 1894. Four years later, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were introduced, and in 1906, the company made its headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company was the first to create “Waxtite” wrappers to package product inside cereal boxes. William K. Kellogg funded several charities throughout southern Michigan, donating more than $66 million to worthy causes during his lifetime.

• In 1928, Kellogg’s presented Rice Krispies. In 1939, Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day created the longtime favorite recipe for Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats as part of a fundraiser for the Campfire Girls. The 1930s also brought the introductions of Snap! Crackle! And Pop!, the animated mascots for the cereal. turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

• Back in 1921, as a Minneapolis health clinician was mixing up a pan of bran gruel for his patients, he accidentally spilled some of the glop on a hot stove. It sizzled and crackled and became a crisp flake before his eyes. Thinking it could be a good breakfast item, he presented it to the local Washburn Crosby Company (later General Mills). The mill went to work developing a flake that wouldn’t crumble inside a box, and after 36 tests of different grain varieties, in 1924, Wheaties were born. The company held an internal contest to name the flake, and the entry submitted by an employee’s wife was chosen. The name Wheaties beat out Nutties and Gold Medal Wheat Flakes.

• Radio’s first ever singing radio commercial advertised Wheaties in 1926. In 1933, an advertising company came up with the slogan “Breakfast of Champions,” a phrase still in use today.

Baseball player Lou Gehrig was the first athlete to be featured on the Wheaties box in 1934, and was followed up with Babe Didrikson, Jesse Owen, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, and several other well-known athletes. However, their faces were all pictured on the side or back of the box until 1958. That was the first year that the picture was on the front of the box, when Olympic pole vaulter Bob Richards was featured. Basketball great Michael Jordan has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 times.

• With all the health benefits of oatmeal, who wouldn’t choose it for breakfast on a regular basis? It helps lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, is rich in antioxidants, reduces hardening of the arteries, helps stabilize blood sugar, and boosts the immune system.

Sounds like it’s nature’s perfect food!

TOOLS 4 LIFE

BY DR. JIM COYLE

IDEA

I recently read an acronym (IDEA) from John Maxwell that exemplified how Jesus mentored and reproduced Himself in helping His disciples live to their fullest potential. My greatest satisfaction in life is to know that I am being used to help others get to a better place. The example of Christ is fuel for those who want to make a difference. Here is what Jesus did for His team in person and what He still does for us today.

Instruction: He verbally taught. He constantly used daily routines to instruct them Demonstration: He modeled the truth and let His men observe his life. He provided show-and-tell Experience: He let the disciples participate and apply the truths themselves. They got to practice Assessment: He debriefed their shared experience. He assessed their growth and gave them direction What a great IDEA!! No matter what hat you wear, you will influence someone. Help make a difference.

www.seeds4seniors.org Q: Why did the man go into the pizza business?

A: He wanted to make some dough!!

• There are several kinds of oats on the market, including old-fashioned oats, which are whole oats that are simply rolled to flatten them. Quick oats are made the same way, but are cut into smaller pieces for a faster cooking time.

Steel cut oats have not been rolled, but rather are cut into thirds, making for a longer cooking time and thicker texture.

The oats in instant oatmeal are rolled thinner and cut finer. Livestock eat about 95% of the oats grown in America.

• The Quaker Oats Company was the first to register a trademark for a breakfast cereal. The Quaker Oats man image was registered with the U.S. Patent Office in 1877. Although some think his image is that of William Penn, he was registered simply as “a figure of a man in Quaker garb.” The owners selected the likeness because he signified “good quality and honest value.” Quaker was the first to include a recipe on its package, as well as having the original idea of including a premium in the box, which in 1891, was a china ware item. Their familiar cylindrical canister came along in 1915.

• You may not recognize the name of John Gilchrist, but it’s likely that his face is familiar. From 1974 to 1986, Quaker used him, along with his two brothers Michael and Tommy, in an ad campaign for Life cereal. While the older brothers refused to try the cereal, John, known as Mikey in the ad, happily ate Life, and his brothers chorused, “He likes it!”

• General Mills introduced Cheerioats in 1941, but due to a trademark conflict, the names was changed to Cheerios in 1946. Although Wheaties had long had athletes on their boxes, it wasn’t until 2009 that Cheerios featured their first, Olympic gold medal winner, gymnast Shawn Johnson.

• As far back as 1820, the British were singing the rhyme, “Do you know the muffin man?” During the Victorian period, many households had fresh baked goods delivered to their door by the muffin man, who brought not the cupcake-like confection Americans call a muffin, but rather a flat round bread baked on a griddle. Today, of course, we call them English muffins.

• In 1971, McDonald’s had no breakfast business. After one franchisee cooked up an egg, added cheese and Canadian bacon and put it on an English muffin, the company adopted his idea calling it the Egg McMuffin. About 25% of McDonald’s sales are from breakfast sales these days.

• In 1919, Minnesota mill owner John Campbell started a company with $900 worth of poker winnings. He added malt flavoring to farina cereal and dubbed his creation Malt-O-Meal. It’s now the third largest producer of cereals in the United States with 1,400 employees and annual sales topping $750 million. The number of varieties has grown from one hot farina cereal to 28 bagged types.

• Many breakfast cereals have an animated mascot as their “spokesman.”

Tony the Tiger became the official mascot of Kellogg’s new cereal Frosted Flakes in 1951. In 1955, Trix hit the grocers’ shelves, with a silly rabbit constantly trying to get children to give him a bowl of the cereal. He’s always been told, “Trix are for kids.” When Trix entered the market, it was composed of more than 46% sugar! Linus the Lionhearted was invented to peddle Post’s Crispy Critters in 1963 and in 1964, Post Sugar Crisp had a soft-spoken, cuddly bear named Sugar Bear touting its product.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

Classifieds Of Linn County

RYAN REYNOLDS

Did you know that one of Hollywood’s hunkiest leading mean hails from up north? Let’s look at the life of Ryan Reynolds, who at age 37, already has 28 movies under his belt.

• Reynolds’ humble beginnings were in Vancouver, British Columbia, where his father was a food wholesaler and his mother worked in retail. Reynolds himself worked in a grocery store in his youth.

• At age 15, Reynolds was cast in a teen soap called Hillside in Canada, and known as Fifteen in the U.S. He also co-starred in the TV movie Sabrina the Teenage Witch during his youth.

• Since he failed his high school drama class, it didn’t seem like he was destined for a big career in movies, but at age 20, fellow Vancouver actor Chris William Martin convinced Reynolds to head to Los Angeles.

Reynolds loaded up his Jeep, and on the pair’s first night in L.A., the Jeep was vandalized.

He drove it for the next four months without doors.

• At age 19, Reynolds attempted to earn his skydiving license, but it was an endeavor gone wrong. On his 13th jump, his chute malfunctioned, coming out vertically rather than the normal horizontal. Fortunately, he had a reserve chute, and safely landed eight miles away from the drop zone. The incident left him with a fear of flying and a vow never to skydive again.

• Reynolds got his first break at age 21 in the role of med student Berg Bergen in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. The story of three Boston University students sharing an apartment ran from 1998 to 2001, and Reynolds appeared in 81 episodes.

• Reynolds hit the big screen in 2002 with Van Wilder, which led him to roles in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and as a vampire hunter in Blade: Trinity. It was a slow but steady climb to stardom with The Amityville Horror, X-Men Origins, and The Proposal opposite Sandra Bullock. Shortly after the release of The Proposal, Reynolds was selected as People magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Man Alive.

• Reynolds’ romantic life has been filled with a series of lovely ladies. From 2004 to 2007, he was engaged to a fellow Canadian, singer Alanis Morissette. Shortly after their breakup, Reynolds became engaged to actress Scarlett Johansson, and four months later, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in British Columbia in September, 2008. By December, 2010, the marriage was over. While filming Green Lantern, in which Reynolds portrayed the DC Comics crime-fighting superhero, he first met his co-star Blake Lively. They were married on a South Carolina plantation in September of 2012.

• Reynolds’ charitable work revolves around research for Parkinson’s Disease, spurred on by his father’s diagnosis with the disease.

Reynolds is on the board of directors of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease, and he ran in the 2008 New York City marathon on behalf of this organization.

• Two out of three of Reynolds’ older brothers are police officers in Canada – one of them is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police member.

On the subject of Canada’s favorite sport, Reynolds has joked, “I’m not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.”

December 22– January 19 Anticipation grows at the office. Join in the fun, Capricorn. A judgment proves puz-zling. It is not your place to question what went down.

January 20– February 18 History has a habit of repeating itself, Aquarius. Bear that in mind when a friend asks you for a favor.

Fitness and nutrition go hand in hand.

February 19– March 20 Fate deals a loved one a bad blow. Don’t worry, Pisces. You’ll have the right words when the time comes. A request is made. Honor it if you can.

March 21– April 19 You can ponder a situation all you want, but at the end of day, the results will still be the same. You know what needs to be done, so do it, Aries.

April 20– May 20 The scale tips in your favor. Move, Taurus, move! There have been crazier notions. Listen up. A dinner disaster turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

May 21– June 21 You might not feel like a hero, but a youngster thinks you are. Your chance to live up to that image will come this week, Gemini. Do not disappoint.

June 22– July 22 A decision is made on the spur of the moment. Go with it, Cancer. A letter is a step in the right di-rection, but it is not enough. Push on.

July 23– August 22 You have needs too. Put them first this week, Leo. A lengthy discussion at work brings about quick results. A test is passed.

August 23– September 22 Attention, Virgo. You are veering off course.

Time to refocus or alter your plans. A fi-nancial matter is re-solved and your bank account benefits.

September 23– October 22 Romance burns bright, Libra. Take that special someone to someplace new. A truce at work ends, and the debate gets heated. Steer clear of it.

October 23– November 21 Pushy you are not, Scorpio, but pushy you must be to meet a deadline. Tact is advised. A wardrobe snafu starts a trend.

Way to go!

November 22– December 21

No more fudging, Sagittarius. Time to let the cat out of the bag.

Gentle reminders keep you on track. A token of appreciation is in order.

In English, we say, “Snap! Crackle! Pop!,” but in German the Rice Krispies mascots say, “Knisper! Knasper! Knusper!,” while those in Finland say, “Riks! Raks! Poks!” The little fellows say, “Pif! Paf! Pof!” in the Netherlands.

● On Sept. 11, 1857, Mormon guerillas, stoked by a deep resentment of decades of public abuse and federal interference, murder 120 emigrants at Mountain Meadows, Utah. The conflict apparently began when the Mormons refused to sell the emigrants any supplies. ● On Sept. 14, 1959, a Soviet rocket bearing a Russian flag crashes into the moon’s surface.

Vice President Richard Nixon expressed some sour grapes by noting that it took the Soviets four tries to hit the moon and reassured Americans that “We are way ahead” in the space race. ● On Sept. 9, 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signs the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Highway Safety Act into law. The two bills made the federal government responsible for setting and enforcing safety standards for cars and roads. ● On Sept. 12, 1972, after nearly 40 years of riding across millions of American TV and movie screens, the cowboy actor William Boyd, best known for his role as Hopalong Cassidy, dies at the age of 77. Boyd was to be the first cowboy actor to make the transition from movies to television. ● On Sept. 13, 1980, country music artist Willie Nelson and his band perform at the White House with President Jimmy Carter in attendance. Later that night, unbeknownst to the president, Nelson allegedly retired to the White House roof to smoke a marijuana cigarette. ● On Sept. 8, 1998, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire hits his 62nd home run of the year, breaking Roger Maris’ record. McGwire was celebrated as a hero, though allegations that he used performance-enhancing substances have since led some to question the legitimacy of his accomplishments.

Computer Use Keeps Brain in High Gear

We can improve our memory and store brain power for the future by surfing the Internet and checking email. So says a study with the unwieldy title of “English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA): Can Internet/Email Use Reduce Cognitive Decline?”

Per the study, besides “storing” cognitive ability (brain-based skills) for the future, digital literacy also “leads to the employment of more efficient cognitive networks to delay cognitive decline” -- in other words, we find new ways of getting the results we want.

It makes sense. Digital literacy involves more than just pressing buttons on the keyboard. Hunting for what we want on the Internet involves thinking, planning and carrying out what we want to do, evaluating what we find and maybe sharing it in email with others. And it’s not just computers; smart phones, tablets and laptops play a part in digital literacy -- as long as we understand how to use them.

The study used a large group -- 6,400 adults in Britain -- ages 50 to 89, with annual retests for eight years. As tests of memory, they were given 10-word lists for later recall.

The conclusion was that good health, financial status and education -- and digital literacy -- resulted in better memory. Those who didn’t use the Internet showed declines. Current users increased their recall capability.

The good news is that over half of seniors between 65 and 74 have Internet access, in both the U.K. and the U.S. Key is that little caveat about financial status. Not everyone can afford a computer and Internet access. However, there are ways to get around this. Senior centers often give classes on Internet browsing, use of cellphones, useful computer programs like email and bookkeeping, and the like. And if they don’t have computers that seniors can use, the library usually does.

Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail. com. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● If you live in Waukegan, Illinois, you might be surprised to learn that your property tax is 12 times higher than it would be if you lived in Honolulu. ● If you can't remember the word you want to use, you're suffering from lethologica. But you probably won't remember that when it happens. ● A hummingbird weighs less than a penny. ● Have you ever made a bet when you'd been drinking too much, and later wondered what you'd been thinking? If so, it might make you feel better to consider the case of a pilot named Thomas Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was drinking at a bar in New York City when a rather boisterous argument ensued regarding his flying ability. To prove his skills to his drinking buddies, Fitzpatrick went to New Jersey, stole a small plane and landed it on the street in front of the Manhattan bar -- all while allegedly drunk. The story, remarkable as it is, doesn't end there, however. A couple of years later he was boasting about the incident, but his story was met with disbelief.

To prove himself once again, he repeated the stunt. ● The name of the state of Idaho comes from the Kiowa-Apache word "idaahe,"which means "enemy." ● Every spring, one of the world's great migrations occurs. At the end of March, 500,000 cranes descend upon an 80-mile stretch of Nebraska land, representing about 80 percent of all the cranes on the planet. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Hang Curtains With Ease

Q: The windows in my new apartment have curtain brackets installed on either side of all the windows, but they are either warped or broken. I’m not very confident that I can put up new brackets. Any tips? -- Sarah, via email A: Sure. Tip one: don’t be nervous about placing new brackets. Tip two: measure twice, cut (or drill) once.

Putting up outside-mounted curtains can seem difficult, but it’s a great home-improvement project for beginners that can boost confidence while making your apartment considerably more awesome.

You’ll need a few simple tools: a tape measure (one of the big locking ones is ideal) and a level (very inexpensive, but indispensible for getting the brackets set up in line). Buy a corded power drill, or borrow one from a friend, along with a set of drill bits. And keep one flat-head and one Phillips-head screwdriver on hand, too. You’ll also need a small ladder or stepladder to work safely.

Measure the height that the curtains must reach.

If you want floor-length curtains, measure from the floor to the top of the window molding (the wooden frame around the window opening).

Add about 4-6 inches to that measurement to get the correct height of curtains you need.

(Most ready-made curtains come in standard sizes, with 84 inches the norm for floor-length.)

Measure the width of the window from one side of the molding to the other.

Next, buy new brackets and curtain rods (and curtains, if you don’t have them already). The rods should be long enough to extend 3-6 inches past the window on each side. The brackets need to be tough enough to hold up heavy curtains (that’s part of the reason why your old brackets are partially torn out of the wall). You also may want to buy plastic wall anchors; bracket screws go through these to better hold the brackets in place.

Really long curtain rods often come with an additional bracket placed at the center of the rod to keep it from warping downward. Take the hint and install this center bracket if it’s included.

To set up the new brackets, measure and mark a point 6 inches above the window molding and another one 3-6 inches past the molding, on both sides of the window. Use the level to ensure that the points are in line with each other. Make sure the new brackets aren’t placed in the same spot as the old ones.

Place the new bracket so the top part touches the outer mark you just made. Use a pencil and mark the drill holes for the bracket. Do the same on the other side. Re-measure and level the two points. Then, pre-drill guide holes for the bracket, using a drill bit one size smaller than the bracket’s screws.

Hold the bracket in place over the pre-drilled holes, and place the screws, using the screwdriver to hand-tighten. If using a screw anchor, screw that into the wall first, then hold the bracket in place and thread the screw into the plastic anchor. (The anchor will pop open on the backside of the wallboard.)

Double-check the placement of the second bracket one last time, then screw it into the wall.

If a center bracket is needed, add that as well.

Now, all that’s left is to put the curtains onto the rod, and lift the rod into place on the brackets.

An easy task!
