TIDBITS® INVESTIGATES JAMES BOND

by Kathy Wolfe

Bond. James Bond. It’s estimated that more than two billion people – nearly one-third of the world’s population – have heard various actors utter those words as the fictional spy introduced himself in 23 different films. This week, Tidbits focuses on one of our favorite characters, his creator, and those who have played him.

• London-born Ian Fleming published his first James Bond novel Casino Royale in 1953.

Fleming wrote the book in two months at his Jamaican vacation home. It was met with positive reviews and sold out its first and second month. Fleming himself had worked for British Naval Intelligence during World War II and was well-acquainted with the world of espionage, an experience he used to shape his novels. He based the character of Bond’s boss “M” after his own superior in the Navy, Admiral Sir John Godfrey.

• Fleming named his spy James Bond after a noted ornithologist, Dr. James Bond, who had written a book on birdwatching that Fleming had on hand. Fleming said, “I wanted the simplest, dullest, plainest-sounding name I could think of. James Bond seemed perfect.”

The number 007 was the bus route Fleming frequently used between London and Canterbury. turn the page for more!

JAMES BOND (continued): The fictional Bond’s parents were a Scots gentleman Andrew Bond, employed by a weapons company, and a Swiss woman named Monique Delacroix. When his parents died when James was 11, he was sent to live with an aunt, was enrolled at Eton, and was recruited into the Royal Navy. (Fleming also attended Eton and was involved in naval intelligence).

Fleming wrote a Bond novel every year until his death in 1964, a total of 12. Since then, seven other authors have continued the series, including John Gardner who penned GoldenEye, which became the 17th Bond film.

Fleming gave the name GoldenEye to his Jamaican vacation retreat which overlooked the Caribbean, after a World War II military mission he had developed in the event the Nazis invaded Spain. After Fleming’s death, the estate was sold to Bob Marley.

The 1958 novel Dr. No came to the big screen in 1962, the first of 23 Eon Productions “official” James Bond films. A casting contest was held to find the perfect James Bond, seeking a man age 28 to 35, about 6 feet tall (1.8 m), with dark hair, and a British accent. Sean Connery landed the role, edging out Cary Grant and Richard Burton. Dr. No was the only official Bond film seen by Ian Fleming before his death in 1964.

Between 1962 and 1967, Sean Connery starred as James Bond four more times in From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, and You Only Live Twice before retiring from the role. Timothy Dalton was strongly considered as his replacement, but declined, saying that age 25, he was too young for the role. Adam West (Batman) was offered the part, but said no, believing that Bond should be a British actor.

Guns • Silencers Ammo & Accessories Owners Kelsey & Tessie Henry Are Dogs Growing More Anxious?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My small mixedbreed dog “Tara” has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms.

I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn’t chew them bloody during these episodes. I hear from other friends that their dogs have anxiety issues as well. Is this problem on the rise? -- Sherri L, Kansas City, Mo. DEAR SHERRI: Evidence isn’t clear that anxiety in dogs is rising, but there is a rise in the understanding and diagnosis of anxiety in pets by veterinarians. This has led to an increase in diagnosis and treatment for pet anxiety.

While that is good for pets, there is no “magic bullet” to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder.

Tara’s vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine different ways to treat her.

Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety

symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of Tara’s anxiety, and trigger points that set off her paw-chewing. Thunderstorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another.

There are a number of different techniques, both training or interaction, to turn off those triggers. While there’s not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement.

Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues.

In evaluating such professionals, ask what therapies they use or are open to, and make sure they emphasize your role in working with Tara (owners have to put in the time with their dogs).

Be circumspect about pet therapists who insist they have a single, one-size-fits-all solution for anxiety.

Tell Them You Saw It In Tidbits®

Welcome to Goose Tips!

If you watch some of the old family sitcoms like the Brady Bunch, Little House on the Prairie or others, you will see families eating together. If your family is more like mine, there are way too many things to do outside the home to connect often at mealtime.

But mealtimes are an important part of building family ties. And in addition, there are some big health benefits to taking time to eat together.

When you dine together as a family the kids eat better, parents often eat healthier, you have time to check in with one another’s day to day lives and you’re doing double duty-spending quality time together. This is also a great time to practice your manners, table side or otherwise.

With just a little extra planning your family mealtime can become a highlight of the day and a way to build some pleasant family memories. Remember to make it fun. Involve the children in planning and executing the meal. Keep conversations light and distractions to a minimum. And then enjoy spending time together whenever possible.

When you do decide to dine out, gather around our table at the Goose. Remember every Friday is Game Night, each week we’re serving up a different Wild Game!!!

The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t!

JAMES BOND (continued): • In 1969, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was released, starring a 30-year-old Australian former used car salesman, George Lazenby.

Lazenby’s acting experience was almost nonexistent, having most recently appeared in a TV commercial for chocolate bars. For his screen test, he purchased a custom-made suit ordered by Connery, who had failed to pick it up at the tailor’s. He added a Rolex watch and went to Connery’s barber to add to his look. It was Lazenby’s only Bond film.

• The studio was advised to bring back Sean Connery, no matter what the cost, and in 1971, Connery returned in Diamonds Are Forever, for a $1.25 million salary and 12.5% of the profits. He donated the entire base salary to a Scottish education charity. This would be the last Bond film Connery made for Eon Productions, although he starred in a non-Eon move, Never Say Never Again in 1983.

• Connery wore a toupee in all of his Bond films. During the filming of a fight scene in Diamonds Are Forever, Connery’s opponent accidentally pulled off the toupee.

• In 1973, Roger Moore stepped into the role for Live and Let Die, a Bond with a more comical air about him. Moore is the current record holder for the most Bond films with seven, including The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, and For Your Eyes Only. His final Bond film was 1985’s A View To Kill, when he was 58 years old, making him also the oldest James Bond actor.

With all the firearms used on the movie set, Moore had to overcome his hoplophobia, the fear of weapons, the result of a childhood accident when he was shot in the leg by his brother with an air rifle.

• Confectioner Milton Hershey suffered through founding two candy companies that ended in failure, then succeeded on his third attempt, and finally sold that company and used the proceeds to found the Hershey Company. After all his hard work, though, he seemed to be less interested in enjoying the fruits of his labors than in helping others. In 1909 he established the Hershey Industrial School for Orphaned Boys, and 10 years later he donated control of the company to a trust for the school.

Today the institution is called the Milton Hershey School, and it continues to have a controlling interest in the candy company.

• Scotsman John Paul Jones is best known for his naval exploits for the nascent United States during the Revolutionary War, and for his infamous utterance, “We have not yet begun to fight!” Most people don’t realize, though, that he was born John Paul and only adopted the surname “Jones” on his first trip to America, where he came to flee charges in the deaths of two sailors under his command.

For Advertising Call (740) 441-7633 JAMES BOND (continued): • Queen Elizabeth II knighted Sean Connery in 2000 and Roger Moore in 2003 • In 1984, Pierce Brosnan’s wife had a part in For Your Eyes Only, and met producer Albert Broccoli on the movie set. Roger Moore was preparing to step down from the role, and Broccoli felt Brosnan would be the perfect replacement. Brosnan was offered the role in 1986, but was forced to decline due to his contract for the TV series Remington Steele.

Timothy Dalton then got another chance at the Bond role, when he was selected for 1987’s The Living Daylights and 1989’s Licence to Kill, bringing a more serious interpretation of the character back into the role after Moore’s light-hearted approach.

• In 1995, Pierce Brosnan got his second chance, appearing in GoldenEye, the world’s fourth highest-grossing film that year. There were three more in the next seven years, and Brosnan’s run ended in 2002.

• There was a four-year gap before the return of James Bond, this time in the form of Daniel Craig, who was met with a negative reaction. However, it didn’t take long for filmgoers to take a liking to the new Bond in 2006’s Casino Royale. It was followed up with Quantum of Solace in 2008. The year of Bond’s 50th anniversary, 2012, marked the release of Skyfall, which has become the highest-grossing Bond film of all time, overtaking Thunderball, starring Connery, which had held the title for 47 years. Craig is the first Bond actor to be younger than the Bond series.

FAMOUS CANADIANS: JOHN CANDY Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, funny man John Candy made us all laugh with his comedy roles.

Let’s look at his Canadian roots and subsequent success.

• Candy was a native of Newmarket, Ontario. At age four, he lost his 35-year-old car salesman father to a heart attack, an event that followed John Candy his entire life. He attended a strict Catholic high school, where he was active in football and hockey. An injury brought his athletic ambitions to an end, but it allowed Candy to pursue his love of comedy and acting. He improved his skills at Toronto’s Centennial Community College, modeling his comedy after the likes of Abbott & Costello, Jackie Gleason, and the Three Stooges.

• After a few bit parts in Canadian TV, Candy encountered fellow Canadian and struggling young comedian Dan Aykroyd, who persuaded him to try out for the Second City improvisational comedy troupe in Toronto.

Candy was invited to join the main troupe in Chicago, where he united with other upcoming stars including Gilda Radner, John Belushi, Eugene Levy, and Bill Murray. This group became part of a new TV series called SCTV in 1976, of which Candy’s impersonations of celebrities was a huge part.

• Candy began getting significant roles in 1979, beginning with Steven Spielberg’s 1941, alongside his friend Dan Aykroyd. He appeared again with Akyroyd the following year in the hit The Blues Brothers. 1981 brought a role in Stripes, then another in 1983’s National Lampoon’s Vacation. But his breakout role was in 1984’s Splash, a comedy about a mermaid who washes ashore, in which he played Tom Hanks’ brother.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 JOHN CANDY (continued): • Candy is also fondly remembered for his role in 1987’s Spaceballs and Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. Candy’s success of 1989 was the wildly-popular Uncle Buck.

• With both his father’s and grandfather’s deaths from heart attacks always in the back of his mind, the 325-lb. (147-kg) Candy often tried crash diets and joined gyms. However, his success was brief and fleeting, with the weight always finding its way back. At one time, his weight ballooned to 375 lbs. (170 kg) and his waistline grew to 59 inches (150 cm). He also smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, which, along with the weight and lack of exercise, contributed to his death by heart attack in 1994 at age 43 while filming the western comedy Wagons East in Mexico. The film was released five months after Candy’s death, with several scenes needing to have his image digitally inserted.

• John Candy appeared in 40 feature films over the course of his career.

I found it referenced in “Kovels’ Antiques & Collectibles Price List” by Terry and Ralph Kovel and published by Black Dog Books.

Q: I recently inherited a copy of Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass,” published in Camden, N.J., in 1876. It is signed in ink by the author on the title page. I would like to sell it. -- Mark, West Memphis, Tenn.

A: Early editions of “Leaves of Grass” have become popular this summer, due in no small part to several excellent biographies of Whitman that have been published recently. It is interesting to note that when his masterpiece was first published, it was not successful. Only after he re-worked and expanded it several times did it find an audience and become an American classic.

A bookshop I think might be helpful and is knowledgeable about early Whitman is Bauman’s Rare Books, 535 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10022; 212-751-0011; www.

BaumanRareBooks.com.

Q: I have five vintage fountain pens that I would like to restore and actually use.

They originally belonged to my dad, who was an attorney, and they have a great deal of sentimental value to me. Can you recommend someone who can repair and restore my pens? -- Ken, Hartford, Conn.

A: The Fountain Pen Hospital has done exceptional fountain pen restoration work for many years. The addresses are 10 Warren St., New York, NY 10007; info@ fountainpenhospital.com; and www. fountainpenhospital.com.

Q: I have a book from the See Saw series, “My Toy Box,” illustrated by Eloise Wilkin.

What would its value be? -- Sarah, Surprise, Ariz.

A: I found your book referenced in Warman’s Children’s Books by Steve Santi and published

by Krause Books. Your book was written by Kathryn and Byron Jackson and issued in 1952.

In reasonable condition, it could be worth about $35, according to Santi.

• The Bond films have been filled with interesting gadgets and weaponry, along with some pretty fast cars. But these weren’t Ian Fleming’s only stories about fascinating automobiles. In 1964, Fleming penned the story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for his young son Caspar. The story about a magical flying car was made into a musical film in 1968, starring Dick van Dyke and produced by Albert Broccoli. It was the only non-Bond film Broccoli produced after the Bond series began.

• Beautiful women have always been a significant part of the Bond films and gave many actresses their start in the movie business. The very first Bond girl was Swiss-born Ursula Andress, who had the role of Honey Ryder in 1962’s Dr. No. Andress received a Golden Globe for the New Star of the Year for her work. Her career was set, as she appeared the following year with Elvis Presley in Fun in Acapulco, and went on to star in nearly 30 movies and several television appearances.

• Several beauties received a career boost from their Bond girl role, including Jill St. John, Britt Eklund, Kim Basinger, Jane Seymour, Denise Richards, Barbara Bach, and Halle Berry. Bond’s only wife throughout the series has been Diana Rigg as Tracy Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. She was shot and killed on their wedding day.

• The Bond girl in From Russia With Love was the 1960 Miss Universe runner-up, Italian Daniela Bianchi. She spoke no English, and began taking classes as soon as she was selected for the role, but in the end, producers opted to dub over her voice.

MORE JAMES BOND (continued): Not everyone wants to be James Bond. Actors who’ve said no to the role include Cary Grant, Liam Neeson, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman. When Jackman turned it down, the part went to Daniel Craig.

And not everyone wants to be a Bond girl!

Actresses Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Rachel McAdams, and Ashley Judd have all turned down the opportunity to be James Bond’s love interest.

Bond movies have boosted the careers of several singers as well. Shirley Bassey holds the record for singing the most themes with Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker. Alicia Keys crooned the theme to Quantum of Solace. Sheryl Crow was responsible for the theme song from Tomorrow Never Dies, while Carly Simon made “Nobody Does It Better” famous from The Spy Who Loved Me. Madonna not only sang the theme from Die Another Day, she had a role as a minor Bond girl in the film.

Paul McCartney and Wings were responsible for Live and Let Die in 1972. Most recently, British singer-songwriter Adele co-wrote and performed “Skyfall,” the title song for the 2012 film.

One of the biggest fans of Ian Fleming’s spy novels was none other than President John F. Kennedy. In a 1961 interview with LIFE magazine, after JFK declared that From Russia With Love was one of his favorite books, sales of the novel skyrocketed.

Ironically, the film version of the book was the last movie Kennedy ever saw, viewing it at the White House the day before he left for Dallas in November of 1963.

By Keith Roach, M. D, TIA Events Launch Search for Cause DEAR DR. ROACH: In the past six weeks, I have had five TIA events, ranging from a minute or so to six minutes. My symptoms are: a loss of control of my right leg, moving up to my right arm and fingers; and a loss of speech. I am aware and thinking during these episodes, although a little disoriented.

I was hospitalized after the last one and was given a CT scan, an MRI and many blood tests: All were “normal” for my age (which is 68). A vascular check was done, as my BP was different when taken in both arms, and they say that was normal also. A 24-hour heart monitor is yet to be read.

My doctor put me on Aggrenox 25/200. My mom had a stroke at 42 and passed away at 49, diagnosed as a thrombosis to her heart. What is the next step? I am so anxious all the time, waiting for something to happen. -- L.C.

ANSWER: “TIA” stands for “transient ischemic attack.” It has the symptoms of a stroke, but by definition lasts less than 24 hours. The symptoms you are describing are in the distribution of the middle cerebral artery in the left hemisphere of the brain.

This could be caused by a blockage in the artery or, less likely, by an embolism (a small blood clot or cholesterol going to that part of the brain).

Your doctor has done a lot of things right, as best I can tell. The MRI scan you had also might have included an MRA (magnetic resonance angiography), which is a special form of MRI that looks specifically at the blood vessel. I am not sure about the vascular check you had, but I would suspect it might have been an echocardiogram, especially one that looks at the aortic arch, where emboli sometimes form, as well as a look at the blood vessels in the neck with a Doppler ultrasound. An echo done through the esophagus may be better at spotting problems than one done through the chest.

Aggrenox is a combination of aspirin and dipyridamole, which make the platelets less “sticky” and reduce the risk of a blood clot and stroke. It’s a reasonable choice to prevent further TIA and stroke.

Some authorities recommend a statin to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Finally, something that’s easy for me to say but hard to do: relax. Being anxious all the time isn’t good for

you. It sounds like your doctor is doing the right things and that you are on a good medication to prevent further problems.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I need some medications, like Dulcolax and Miralax, for some tests.

The generics are so much cheaper. Is there much difference, compared with the expensive brand? -- J.M. ANSWER: In my experience, there is almost no difference between the brand name and the generic for prescription and most over-the-counter medicines. The quantity and quality of the active ingredient is regulated. The inactive ingredients occasionally may cause a reaction in a sensitive person. Most physicians, including myself, use generic brands for themselves and their families. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Use flash cards to call out the words, and the kids can mark them off as they hear them. We tape the bingo card to a small magnetic dry erase board, and the kids use refrigerator magnets to cover the words. We can use the boards over and over, really reinforcing the lesson.

Online at www.lovemytidbits.com Wood Floors and Water Don’t Mix

Q: While I was away on a business trip, my roommate decided to buy a couple of floor plants and put the containers directly onto the hardwood floor with nothing under them. By the time I got back, a couple of waterings later, water had run out of the pots and across the floor. Now there are two big water rings where the base of each vase was, and water stains along the path that the leaking water flowed. Can these be fixed, or does my roommate need to pay for repairs? -- Vivian in Cambridge, Mass.

A: If the standing water around the vases hasn’t buckled the wood, you should be able to deal with the stains without too much effort.

Make sure the entire floor is dry, particularly where the vases stood. You may want to borrow a dehumidifier from a friend for a few days to encourage the drying process. In some cases where water damage is minor, the water marks may disappear or diminish dramatically once the wood has dried completely.

If once the wood has dried, a white water stain is still evident, then water likely stained the floor’s finish. This is easier to deal with. Heat up a clothes iron (use a “no steam” setting and empty out all the water from the holding tank). Place a dry, lint-free white cloth over the stained area. Rub the iron over the cloth for two or three seconds, then lift the cloth away to check the spot.

Another method for white stains is to drench a super-fine steel wool pad with lemon oil, then gently rub the white marks with the pad to buff out the stain without scratching the finish.

However, if the stains are dark, then water likely penetrated through the finish and into the hardwood itself. This is more complex, particularly if your floor was installed in the past few years. Older hardwood floors seem to handle water staining and refinishing better. Newer floors not only don’t handle water so well, but also have to be cleaned or repaired more carefully. Contact a flooring professional if you’re not sure.

To get to this type of stain you will need to sand away the finish -- being careful not to sand the wood itself -- and then try to lighten the stain. The most common recommendation is to carefully apply a 50-50 solution of water and bleach, or a professional wood bleach, directly to the stain using an old toothbrush. Use only a small amount (you may want to test it on one of the less-conspicuous stains), blot up any excess and let dry. Repeat until the color matches the rest of the wood again, then let it dry for a couple of days before gently sanding, applying wood stain (if necessary) to finish matching the surrounding floor, and refinishing the damaged spots.

As to who should pay for the repair, I’ll leave that to you and the roommate to figure out. At the very least, this should be a lesson that water and wood floors don’t mix.

HOME TIP: To keep a hardwood floor looking good, put furniture legs onto protective pads or “coasters” to keep them from gouging the finish.

Dust mop at least once a week and wipe up spills immediately.

Do You Live Alone?

Nearly 30 percent of seniors live alone.

Home safety is very important to us, and even more important during the short, dark days of winter. Here are a few hints to stay safe.

• Invest in a few of those small “tap” lights -- the kind you touch on top to turn on -- and put them along your path to various rooms, especially if you have to cross a room in the dark before reaching a lamp.

• Turn on a light when you reach for your weekly pill container to be sure you don’t grab the wrong day’s pills.

• Use a ladder and stepstool only if someone else is around. Keep things you need on lower shelves.

• Guard against slipping. Beware of scatter rugs that slide easily on hard floors.

If your shoes are worn enough that they’re slick on wood or vinyl flooring, it’s time to replace them.

• Keep your door locked when you’re home alone, even if you live in a safe neighborhood.

• If you’re on social media, be careful what you reveal online. Never say that you live alone.

• Be aware in the kitchen. Be sure the stove and other appliances are off when you’re finished with them. Mop up spills.

Have a fire extinguisher and know how to use it.

• One of the best ways to stay safe is to stay in touch with others. If it’s available, sign up for daily caller service, likely through your senior center. Or make a deal with a neighbor that you’ll check in with each other every morning by phone. Sign up for Meals on Wheels or attend meals at a local senior center.

For more hints, go online and search for “seniors living alone safety.”

High Demand Swamps Caregiver Program The Government Accounting Office report “Actions Needed to Address Higher-Than-Expected Demand for the Family Caregiver Program” is grim.

The report assesses the program that was established in 2010 to support family caregivers of seriously injured post-9/11 veterans.

The program was to include a stipend equal to the cost of home health assistance, respite, training, health insurance for the caregiver and mental-health support. First, however, a caregiver must be approved and the veteran assessed.

Fact: The Veterans Health Administration guesstimated that 4,000 caregivers would be approved for the program. Already 15,600 caregivers have been approved. The Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers haven’t been able to keep up with the workload. They put ONE support coordinator staffer in each medical center. Additionally, onsite nurses and physicians were to handle home visits and medical assessments within a certain timeframe.

They weren’t ready either, and some 500 caregivers are being added to the roster every month.

Fact: The staff didn’t have access to the workload data they needed to monitor the effects of the program because the software was developed to handle a much smaller program and therefore might not be reliable.

Fact: Since officials can’t get good numbers and stats out of the program, they’re trying to get another IT system ... but don’t know when they’ll get it.

Fact: At some clinics there just isn’t enough staff to make home visits for the assessment. Directors see the caregiver program as even more work and not a high priority. At one facility, “the director refused to have nurses conduct home visits for the Family Caregiver Program.” And “the number of physicians willing to conduct medical assessments for the program is limited.”

To read the whole report, go online to gao.gov and put GAO-14-675 in the search box.
