This week, Tidbits goes under the sea to swim with the jellyfish, bringing you some fascinating facts about this gelatinous marine animal. • Jellyfish aren’t really fish at all! Fish are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone, while jellyfish are invertebrates lacking a backbone. In fact, they don’t even have the basic sensory organs, respiratory system, circulatory system, or even a brain! Jellyfish also don’t have gills that would classify them as a fish. Many public aquariums refer to them as “sea jellies” instead. Their bodies are mostly water, about 94% to 98%. The mushroom-shaped top of the jellyfish is known as the bell. • Jellyfish swim by contracting their bodies, but they aren’t very good swimmers. They’re usually moved along by water currents, which accounts for the many times they are washed up on beaches. These creatures are especially high in numbers in the tropical oceans around Florida, Malaysia, Australia, Hawaii, and the Philippines. • Jellyfish that swim near the water’s surface nearer to the sunlight are usually colorless or transparent. Those dwelling in the deep can be found in many vibrant colors, including red, purple, green, yellow, and even striped. turn the page for more!

“GET YOUR LIFE BACK!”
JELLYFISH (continued): • There are about 400 areas in the oceans of the world where jellyfish are the only life form that can survive. • The lifespan of a jellyfish varies from a few hours to a few days up to less than a year. • Sizes of jellyfish vary greatly, with the smallest about one millimeter. The two largest species are the Lion’s Mane and Nomura’s jellyfish. The Lion’s Mane’s thread-like tentacles can grow up to 120 feet (36.5 m) long, with a bell diameter of 39 inches (100 cm) that is shaped like an eight-pointed star. This jelly’s tentacles are arranged in eight bunches with more than 100 tentacles in each. The largest Lion’s Mane ever seen washed ashore in Massachusetts Bay in 1870. Its bell diameter was 7 feet, 6 inches (2.3 m), and total body length was longer than the largest known blue whale. Lion’s Mane species favor cold northern waters, including the Arctic Sea and northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. While their sting is moderately painful, it is seldom fatal. • Nomura’s jellyfish is found in the waters off Japan, Korea, and China. Its bell diameter can reach 79 inches (200 cm) and it might weight up to 440 lbs. (200 kg). • The Stygiomedusa Gigantean jellyfish has only been seen 115 times in the last 110 years. Like the Lion’s Mane, the Stygiomedusa can have a bell diameter of 39 inches (100 cm) wide, but rather than the hundreds of tentacles, it has four thick paddle-like arms about 20 feet (6 m) long. • Nematocysts are very small stinging cells located in the tentacles that inject toxin into a jellyfish’s prey. Touching a jellyfish can initiate millions of these cells to pierce the victim’s skin. A sting can range from a slight tingling to extreme pain and even to death.

Learning Pet CPR
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Several years ago, I lost one of my dogs, “Corny,” to a sudden illness when he collapsed and stopped breathing. Not sure what to do, I rushed him to the nearby vet’s office, but they were unable to revive him. From that incident, I resolved never to feel so helpless if it should happen to one of my pets again. I learned the basics of pet CPR from that vet, and have since taken online courses to learn more and to stay up to date on changes in performing pet CPR. I urge every pet owner to become familiar with CPR for pets, whether their dog or cat or other pet is young or old. -- Janine C., Chattanooga, Tennessee DEAR JANINE: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I know the loss of Corny must have been heart-wrenching ...
it’s incredibly difficult to lose a part of your family. Learning CPR is indeed a way to bring a little more assurance to pet owners that they can do something when their pet falls ill. Performing CPR -- breathing for your pet, performing chest compressions if the heart has stopped -- during the rush to the emergency vet can make a big difference in the outcome. CPR methods vary between species, of course, and between different sizes of pets. But there is good information to be found from places online like the AMVA (American Veterinary Medical Association), which offers a video tutorial. It’s well worth your time to learn this lifesaving technique. Send your questions and tips to ask@ pawscorner.com. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com JELLYFISH (continued): • More people are killed each year by jellyfish than by sharks. Yet jellyfish don’t purposely attack humans, with stings occurring when a person accidentally touches the creature. • The most poisonous species of jellyfish, the Irukandji Jellyfish, is also the most venomous animal on Earth, with a toxin 100 times stronger than that of a cobra. Effects of a sting include nausea, vomiting, high blood pressure, agonizing pain, and in some cases, death. It’s possible to treat a single sting, but multiple stings usually result in death. • The box jellyfish is one of the Irukandji species, with a sting that can cause death in as little as three minutes. It’s capable of swimming at speeds up to 4 mph (6.4 km/hr), faster than most humans. It is more physically advanced than most other jellyfish, with four brains, and 24 eyes, two of which can see color. With all of these eyes, the box jellyfish has a 360-degree view of its environment. • The 60 tentacles of a single box jellyfish contain enough venom to kill 60 people. Their stingers can release toxin faster than a gun discharges a bullet. • With an abundance of box jellyfish found in the waters surrounding Australia, that continent reports about 10,000 stings every year. Between 20 and 40 people die annually in the Philippines alone from the deadly sting. • Another Irukandji species, the sea wasp, has about half a million darts on each tentacle. In the past 60 years, close to 5,600 deaths have been attributed to this jellyfish. Its bell reaches the size of a basketball, with 60 tentacles, up to 15 feet long (4.6 m) hanging down.

COLLECTING Q: I have an ashtray that I have almost tossed several times, since no one in my family smokes and I have no use for it. An antique dealer identified the pattern for me as “Flower Garden with Butterflies,” a pattern I can’t find in my reference books. Can you help me? -- Martha, St. Charles, Missouri A: “Flower Garden with Butterflies,” aka “Butterflies and Roses,” was introduced in about 1928 by the U.S. Glass Company of Pittsburgh. Although you didn’t specify the color of your ashtray, it was issued in amber, black, blue, blue-green, canary yellow, crystal, green and pink. According to Ellen T. Schroy, a Depression Glass expert and author of “Warman’s Depression Glass: A Value and Identification Guide,” an ashtray in amber or crystal is worth about $175; in blue-green, green or pink, $185; and blue or canary yellow, $325. *** Q: In November 1982, I ordered a complete set of Princess of Wales 21st birthday greeting stamps with Crown Agents brochure from Good Housekeeping magazine. They include images of her, her wedding dress and the 21st birthday greeting to Princess Diana. Do you have any idea of their worth? -- Lisa, Princeton, Indiana
A: There were dozens of stamp sets issued to commemorate the 21st birthday of Princess Di, and I think I found your set on eBay. It features 17 stamps in a special Crown Agents folder and is offered for $3. *** Q: During the 1970s, I was given an annual plate issued by M.I. Hummel. It is “Apple Tree Girl.” I have discovered the original issue price was $50, but I suspect it is worth much more after the passage of several decades. -- Carol, Kansas City, Missouri A: Your plate is HUM 269 and was issued in 1976. According to the “M.I. Hummel” price guide, by Robert L. Miller and published by Portfolio Press, you plate is valued in the $50-$75 range. *** Q: I have inherited an antique Valentine collection and would like to get it evaluated. -Margaret, Lakeland, Florida A: I suggest you contact the National Valentine Collectors Association, P.O. Box 647, Franklin Lakes, N.J. 07417; www.valentinecollectors.com. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

by Samantha Weaver * It was 19th-century British historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay who made the following sage observation: “The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.” * Until nylon came to the fore, the most popular material used on the business end of toothbrushes -- starting way back in 16th-century China -- was hog bristles.

* Among other artifacts, archaeologists found a bronze razor in King Tut’s tomb. It was reportedly still sharp enough to use for shaving. * Those who study such things claim to have found the best way to climb stairs: Evidently, you should exhale before you begin the ascent, inhale for the duration of the first two steps, exhale during the next two steps, and repeat until you’ve reached the top. Of course, it’s interesting to note that what “best” means in this situation isn’t clearly defined. * According to pollsters, when divorced people take surveys, women are much more likely than men to report that they’re happy about the breakup. * The hyoid, found in your throat, is the only bone in the human body that is not connected to any other bone. Its purpose is to anchor the muscles of your tongue. * There are 12 sovereign nations in South America, and Brazil shares a border with all but two of them: Chile and Ecuador. * Founding Father Benjamin Franklin’s final public act was to write a letter to Congress urging the abolition of slavery. *** Thought for the Day: “It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.” -- George H. Lorimer (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
For Advertising Call or Text 740-441-7633 JELLYFISH (continued): • Even dead jellyfish have the ability to sting when touched, with tentacles able to stay alive for about four days. In 2010, a dead Lion’s Mane jellyfish washed up on shore at a state park in Rye, New Hampshire. It weighed about 50 lbs. (22.7 kg), with a bell about the size of a trash can lid, and tentacles reaching 13 feet (4 m). When a lifeguard attempted to pick up the jellyfish with a pitchfork, the creature began to fall apart, but its stingers were still active. Nearly 150 people were stung by the dead jelly. • A large group of jellyfish is known as a bloom or a smack, and can contain as many as 100,000 of the creatures. A bloom can grow pretty rapidly, considering that a single jellyfish can release as many as 45,000 eggs each day. The sheer number of the animals can create havoc in the seas. In 1982, the comb jellyfish was accidentally introduced into Eastern Europe’s Black Sea. Within eight years, the creature had caused $350 million in losses to the area’s fishing and tourism industries. By consuming ten times its body weight in food every day, the jellyfish wiped out 900 million tons of fish during that time. They were also responsible for a temporary shutdown of a Japanese nuclear power plant when a large group became stuck in the plant’s cooling system. • Jellyfish can be accidentally introduced into their non-native habitat by attaching to ship hulls and traveling into other areas. • If you see Australian lifeguards wearing pantyhose on their arms and legs, it’s because even something as thin as nylon pantyhose will prevent jellies from stinging. • After the first jellyfish sting, it is very important to get out of the water immediately and wash the area with salt water, not fresh water. Salt water deactivates the stinging cells, while fresh water reactivates them. Scraping the area with a credit card is the best way to remove the stinging cells.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS: “J” ANIMALS Tidbits’ animal focus this week is on the letter “J,” bringing you the details on some unusual species beginning with that letter. • Jackrabbits aren’t really rabbits at all, but rather hares, which have taller hind legs and longer ears. In fact, jackrabbits were named for their ears, which caused some folks to call them “jackass rabbits,” which was later shortened to jackrabbits. These swift animals can reach speeds of 40 mph (64 km/h) and can leap more than 10 feet (3 m). • The jaguar is the largest cat in the world, as well as the largest carnivorous mammal in Central and South America. Average size varies considerably, from 124 to 211 lbs. (56 to 96 kg). The largest male jaguar recorded weighed 348 lbs. (158 kg). Even with a length of up to 6 feet (1.85 m), they have the shortest tail of any big cat. • Don’t confuse the jaguar with the jaegar, an arctic seabird. These are very aggressive birds, stealing food from other birds. Found in Alaska, northern Canada, and Russia, jaegars are carnivores, with lemmings as the favorite part of their diet. Living most of their life at sea, they only come to shore to breed during the arctic summer, nesting on the Arctic tundra near the water. When it’s time to migrate, they travel to places where winter is about to start. • The beautiful large stork known as the jabiru is found from Mexico to South America. It’s South America’s tallest flying bird, standing as tall as 5 feet (1.53 m). Its wingspan can reach 9.2 feet across (2.8 m). Its plumage is white, except for its featherless upper neck and head, accented by a bright red pouch at the base of the neck. The broad black beak can measure almost 14 inches (35.5 cm) in length.

For Advertising Call or Text 740-441-7633 ‘J’ ANIMALS (continued): • Sometimes called the “kangaroo of the desert,” jerboas look like a mouse with legs of a kangaroo. These small nocturnal rodents, found in Europe, Africa, and Asia, live in some of Earth’s hottest places. Their very large hind legs enable them to leap great distances. Even though they only measure between 2 and 6 inches (5 to 15.2 cm), and weigh only a few ounces, they are able to leap up to 7 feet high (2.1 m), and distances of 10 feet (3 m) in length. The jerboa can hop faster than a person can run. • We know that nocturnal animals are active at night, and diurnal, during the day. But have you heard the term crepuscular? This means an animal is most active at dawn and dusk, a characteristic of jackals, animals that belong to the same genus as wolves and dogs. Coyotes are sometimes called the “American jackal.” Jackals are well-suited for running with their long legs, and can maintain a speed of nearly 10 mph (16 km/h) for extended periods of time. .• The jacuarundi, also known as an otter cat, is a wildcat related to the cougar, only much smaller. In fact, it more closely resembles a weasel, with short legs, an elongated body, and a long, otter-like tail. These cats only reach a length of 30 inches (77 cm) and weigh between 7.7 and 20 lbs. (3.5 to 9.1 kg). This very shy and reclusive animal is native to Central and South America, although it can occasionally be seen in southern Texas and Florida.

PUSH-BUTTON PHONES
You probably didn’t know there is a special day devoted to honoring the push-button phone. Here are the facts concerning November 18th, National Push-Button Phone Day. • Although Western Electric had experimented with a touch-tone phone as early as 1941, it wasn’t until November 18, 1963 that the first model was introduced to the public. This came after three years of rigorous customer testing. Consumers first had a chance to view the new gadget at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. • Before the push-button’s introduction, folks made calls on a rotary dial phone, a device invented by Almon Strowger in 1891. It used a pulse-dial system, an electromechanical system that used the current pulses generated by the rotary dial to determine the numbers selected. Digits in the phone number were indicated by a series of clicks that corresponded to the digit. The pushbutton employed dual-tone multi-frequency, a method that used audible tones for each of the numbers zero through nine. Specific frequencies are assigned to each column and row of buttons on the keypad, with the columns having higher frequency tones and the rows, lower frequency tones. Combining the row and column results in the signal that is transmitted over the phone line. • The first touch-tone was the Model 1500 produced by Western Electric, with 10 buttons. Engineers had conducted research to determine the best layout for the keypad, whether the numbers should be the same as a cash register with lower numbers at the bottom, or having lower numbers at the top. The “1” at the top was most favorably rated by the study’s participants.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com PUSH-BUTTON PHONES (continued): • Two Pennsylvania communities were the first customers to receive the new push-button system. Carnegie and Greensburg were chosen based on population, average income, and isolation from metropolitan areas. Those who wanted the convenience and faster dialing time of the touch-tone paid $1.50 extra per month for the privilege. • When the touch-tone phone was introduced, 25% of Americans’ phones were still connected through a party line. • In 1968, the asterisk and pound keys were added to the keypad layout, expanding it to 12 buttons on Western Electric’s new Model 2500. Although the * and # weren’t put into use immediately, they laid the foundation for the future of data transmission, using the telephone to access computers through telephone lines. From then on, the telephone was no longer just for talking! In the 1970s, automatic redial features, call forwarding, and digital call switching were incorporated into the system. • The smaller, lighter rotary dial Princess phone was introduced in 1959. It was especially desirable because it featured an internal light bulb that served as a bedside night light. The 10-button touch-tone Princess made its debut in 1964. • It took many years for the touch-tone to become available in some areas. Even in the late 1970s, the majority of telephone customers still had rotary phones. That reversed in the 1980s when the touch-tone gained the advantage. Today, many areas no longer even support pulse dialing, and if they do, those customers are charged a higher monthly rate.

By Keith Roach, M. D, Chelation Therapy: Tests Can be Flawed DEAR DR. ROACH: Would you please comment on chelation therapy? A urine test for mercury, lead and arsenic was done that showed abnormal elevations after I was given DMSA. I also was prescribed a long list of vitamins and supplements. This testing and treatment have caused me great confusion. -- Anon. ANSWER: Chelation is the process of using a medication to rid toxic chemicals, especially the heavy metals you mention, from the body. DMSA is a chemical that binds to mercury and lead, and is then excreted into the urine. We all have some amount of these metals in our bodies, because they are present in the environment, but few people have toxic amounts. Toxicity happens mostly in people with industrial exposure to the heavy metals. Toxic levels usually, but not always, are associated with symptoms. The DMSA you took before the urine test will cause these small amounts to be rapidly excreted by the kidney. The problem I have with this type of testing is that comparing your urine toxin levels after DMSA with urine toxin levels in healthy people who have not had DMSA is not valid, and I would not recommend treatment based on this faulty analysis. Unfortunately, the analysis you had is commonly done, so that nearly everybody tested will show falsely abnormal results. Thus, I recommend strongly against testing without a clear reason to do so, and never using this method. Chelation treatment of heavy metals is appropriate only if there are symptoms and a history of exposure, and if blood levels not obtained after administration of a chelating drug are high (or urine, for mercury). An occupational medicine physician has expertise in this area and would be a good consultant if you still are confused. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: My relative is a 69-year-old who has smoked for 55 years. She has a terrible cough. I want her to cover her mouth with a hankie or tissue when she coughs. The coughing can go on for a few minutes. She insists that she is not sick, and that it’s just allergies. I say she is spraying her sputum, and I might catch what she doesn’t know she has. -- S.B. ANSWER: You don’t need to be worrying about yourself. Although it is possible that she has pneumonia, most pneumonias are not transmitted from person to person, so the risk to others is low. You need to be worrying about your relative. With this degree of cough, it is very likely that she has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. What’s worse, a small number of smokers with a cough like this have lung cancer. In all probability, she is fooling herself that she has only allergies. She needs to quit smoking, now, and also get evaluated. The booklet on COPD explains in detail both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the two elements of COPD.

Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address.

* On Nov. 23, 1859, the infamous Western outlaw known as “Billy the Kid” is born in a poor Irish neighborhood on New York City’s East Side. Before he was shot dead at age 21, Billy reputedly killed 27 people in the American West. * On Nov. 26, 1862, Oxford mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson sends a handwritten manuscript called Alice’s Adventures Under Ground to 10-year-old Alice Liddell. Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, later published “Alice in Wonderland,” one of the earliest children’s books written simply to amuse children, not to teach them. * On Nov. 24, 1944, more than 100 American B-29 Superfortress bombers target the Nakajima aircraft engine works in Tokyo. Bad weather proved an insurmountable obstacle at 30,000 feet, and fewer than 50 bombs hit the main target. * On Nov. 22, 1963, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is assassinated while traveling through Dallas in an Lincoln convertible. Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired three shots from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building. * On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco leaders George Moscone and Harvey Milk are murdered by Dan White at City Hall in San Francisco. White pleaded a “diminished capacity” defense, claiming that copious amounts of junk food caused him to suffer mental problems. Thus the “Twinkie Defense” was born. * On Nov. 21, 1980, some 350 million people worldwide tune in to find out who shot J.R. in the primetime drama “Dallas.” Full of schemes and moral excess, the long-running series revolved around the tale of two Texas oil families. * On Nov. 25, 1999, The U.N. General Assembly passes a resolution designating Nov. 25 the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It marked the anniversary of the brutal political murder of three sisters in 1960 in the Dominican Republic. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Way Things Ought to Be With everyone racking their brains about the perceived problem of shrinking NFL TV ratings, we now get to shift our focus to the flawed NCAA playoff rankings. But why stop there? There are plenty of things in the sporting world that need to be addressed. Here are a few I will toss out there: 1. Tim Tebow needs to try out for every major sport. This is a no-brainer. Everyone knows that Tim Tebow is a superior athlete and a virtuous Christian. That is why he must always be set up for martyrdom, so we can talk about how teams don’t understand the righteous talent they are sitting on. It doesn’t matter that he’s only hitting .149 for the Mets’ fall instructional league team, he probably sells more jerseys than most of the Mets big-league players combined. Surely he could be a center on the Blue Jacket’s checking line, or a power forward for the Brooklyn Nets. It might hurt to watch, but that means it’s working. 2. Every NFL team has to wear black (or pink). Studies show that teams wearing black are more aggressive. That study, no doubt commissioned by the circa 1970s tangerineorange mustachioed Tampa Bay Buccaneer, has taken hold of the league because black keeps creeping into color schemes. The only exception can be made for the Eagles, but only if they switch their color back to Kelly Green. Philadelphians shouldn’t be made to wear Forest Green, sorry. 3. Nick Saban needs to trash every other team’s offensive scheme at press conferences, then destroy that team by mastering the offensive scheme he just trashed. It started with the run option, but something tells me that Saban would win if he ran nothing but wildcats or fake punts on every first down. This is a good thing, because Saban’s idea of a perfect game would be Alabama scoring every quarter and beating LSU 8-0, all safeties. 4. Pete Rose and Alex Rodriguez need to do postgame analysis for every baseball game. When A-Rod isn’t name-checking Andy Pettite (which almost never happens) or using multisyllabic words, Pete Rose is there to make fun of him or tease him about Derek Jeter’s inspiring play. The matchup of those two plus Frank Thomas is a thing of beauty. You can just picture a bunch of drunken FOX execs coming up with the idea ... “No! Wait! Pete Rose has to wear a bow-tie!” then still going with the idea the next morning. 5. The Cubs needed to lose the World Series. The world needed the Cubbies to lose. They were the last team clinically proven to break hearts. Look at what happened to Red Sox fans. They used to be the quirky losers, now they’re just obnoxious without the charm (Fenway Park notwithstanding). Look at how miserable hockey fans are having been robbed of the joy that was chanting “1940” to Ranger fans. Oh well, Wrigley Field is still only place where singing “take me out to the ballgame” in the vocal style of Daffy Duck can be considered cool (but only when Bill Murray does it). Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

1. In a small bowl, soak the mustard seeds in the wine at room temperature overnight. 2. Wrap the cinnamon stick, ginger and cloves in a piece of cheesecloth and tie closed. In a saucepan, whisk the mustard seeds, wine, sugar, vinegar, cranberry juice and mustard powder and bring to a boil. Add the spice bundle and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until the syrup coats the back of a spoon, 25 minutes. Discard the spice bundle. 3. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest, and let the mostarda cool completely. Season with salt and serve; stir in water by the tablespoon if it seems too thick. Makes 2 cups.

How Not to Run Out of Retirement Money One big fear of many seniors is that they will run out of retirement money. Chuck Price, president of Price Financial Group Wealth Management Inc., has some ideas about how to stretch out the money we do have. * Keep working. Even if it’s a part-time job, perhaps in your own career or in a new one, every dollar you earn is one dollar you don’t have to take out of your retirement savings. Consider signing up for temporary employment, perhaps with an agency, to make more money. * Create alternate income streams. If you’ve always wanted a small side-business that produces income, this might be the time to create one. * Cut your costs. This is always easier said than done, but cutting costs will keep more dollars in your savings. Consider selling a vehicle you don’t absolutely need, pocketing the money and saving on the cost of insurance and maintenance. Another idea, keeping a tally for one month of every dime you spend. At the end of the month, review how many times you went out for dinner, how much you spent on incidentals or entertainment. Decide where you can cut back. If your grocery bills are high, look at ways to cut those costs. * Think about the financial help you give others. If you regularly give money to children and grandchildren or to charity, this might be the time to stop and reconsider whether you can continue to do that. If your own financial survival is at stake, saving your money is more important. Chuck Price is the author of “Investing Simplified: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You.” Look for more advice on his website www.pfgwm.com. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Bicycles Banned a Arlington Bicycles will no longer be allowed in Arlington National Cemetery, unless being ridden by people with family passes who are there to visit a loved one’s grave. Commuters, weekend exercisers and cycling clubs are no longer welcome. To which I give a big thumbs-up. Arlington National Cemetery holds upward of 30 funerals a day. Some of these involve long streams of cars of attendees and escorts; some involve the military band or horses pulling a caisson. The last thing funeral-goers need is to have to navigate around cyclists, or have them whiz by during a funeral service. Of course, cyclists were upset when the news came out, and they started a petition, claiming they don’t disrupt anything. The cemetery’s response to that was, “Previous trial periods with bicyclists in the cemetery showed bicyclists did not typically stop for these processions.” Enough said. Some state veterans’ cemeteries seem to ban bicycles as well, such as the Connecticut State Veterans’ Cemetery. Others aren’t as vigilant, with one state suffering from horseback riding, picnics, fireworks and hunting at their veterans’ cemetery. Another had to ban bicycles after multiple bike crashes disrupted funerals. Some places aren’t so fussy. There apparently is an annual ride at the Chattanooga National Cemetery in Tennessee. The Willamette National Cemetery in Oregon allows bicycles and is on a list of places to ride, complete with helpful GPS printable maps. Having buried a grandfather, father, mother, two uncles, a spouse and multiple friends in national cemeteries, I can say this: If you’re a cyclist who lives where a national cemetery allows bicycles and you spot an ongoing procession or funeral service, stop. A cemetery isn’t just a convenient shortcut for you. It’s the end of the line for our loved ones. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
