NAME ORIGINSby Kathy Wolfe

If you’ve ever wondered where some of your favor-ite businesses came up with their names, check out what Tidbits has discovered about the origins of several company monikers. • A hike in the mountains provided the revelation for a unique fastener for fabric. Swiss engineer George de Mestral was walking his dog and both came home covered with cockleburs. Upon ex-amining one of the burs under his microscope, he discovered it was covered with thousands of hooks that had gripped his wool pants and his dog’s fur. The invention of Velcro followed soon after, with its tiny hooks fastening to loops of fabric. The name came from combining “velour” with “crochet,” and his was idea patented in 1955. • Paul Orfalea’s college chums dubbed him “Kinko” because he had a mass of curly hair. In 1970, when Orfalea borrowed $5,000 and rented a 100-square-foot building near the University of California cam-pus, he named his new business Kinko’s. Students could obtain copies from his single copier for two-and-a-half cents apiece, as well as purchase school supplies and get their film processed. Within ten years, there were 80 stores, and in 2004, Orfalea sold his enterprise to FedEx for $2.4 billion.

psychotic monster.Two versions of the film are included in this edition: The original German production and the long-lost English-language version. Both have been restored using a hi-def digital transfer process. Among the tons of special features are: audio commentary by German film scholars Anton Kaes and Eric Rent-schler, a one-hour conversation with Fritz Lang by “Exorcist” author William Friedkin, a commemorative booklet and a 1963 inter-view with Lang.

“Toy Story”/”Toy Story 2” (Special Editions) (Rated G) -- Coinciding with this year’s release of “Toy Story 3,” Disney/Pixar are re-releasing the first two classic adventures featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Slinky Dog, Rex and all the rest. There are no new special features on these editions (except for some “Toy Story 3” marketing stuff), so if you already own the films, there’s no need to rush out and grab these.I have a copy of the now-discontinued three-disc “Ultimate Toybox” DVD set, which includes both films and a third disc packed with special features. What I’m hoping is that Disney will do a similar release for the holidays that will include all three films and perhaps a fourth disc of features. So yeah, wait a while. I’ll bet that’s what’ll happen.

PICKS OF THE WEEK

“Daria: The Complete Animated Series” (Un-rated) -- “Smart and funny” aren’t two adjectives you normally associate with MTV programming, but “Daria” is one of the few exceptions. Debut-ing in 1997 as a spin-off of the popular “Beavis & Butt-Head,” “Daria” centered on the life of sardonic teenager Daria Morgendorffer, as she and her bestie Jane skewer pop culture and try to avoid the popular kids at their upper-middle-class high school.The DVD includes all five seasons of the show, plus the pilot episode and both made-for-TV movies. Special features include interviews with the cast and crew, two Mystik Spiral music videos, Daria Day intros and a Top Ten Video Countdown hosted by Daria and Jane.

“M” (The Criterion Collection) Blu-ray (Unrated) -- Iconic director Fritz Lang’s chilling story of the hunt for a child murderer finally gets the high-def, Criterion Collection treatment. Peter Lorre stars as “M,” the child-killer who is so expert at eluding the police that the criminal underworld takes it upon themselves to hunt down the

IT TAKES TWO by Bonnie St. ClairLaurel without Hardy? Bert without Ernie? Hall without Oates? They just wouldn’t have been the same. Join Tidbits as we share stories behind some famous “people pairs”

and how they managed to discover one another.• In the original story, Batman met the boy who would become Robin in 1940. Dick Grayson was an eight-year-old circus acrobat, the son of trapeze artists. When a gangster who’d been extorting money from the circus sabotaged the riggings, Dick’s parents fell to their deaths. Batman investi-gated the crime, and he became fond enough of the boy to become his legal guardian (as his alter ego, Bruce Wayne). He instructed the youngster in the ways of fighting crime

and dubbed him Robin, the Boy Wonder.• Cherilyn Sarkisian dropped out of school and moved to Hollywood with dreams of becoming an actress. At 17, she met Sonny Bono at Aldo’s Coffee Shop. Bono worked for music producer Phil Spector and was able to get Cher, as he called her, work as a background vocalist. A songwriter at heart, Sonny had peddled his tunes without much success. But when he and Cher became romantically involved, the pair recorded his tune “I Got You, Babe,” which hit number one on the pop chart and made stars of Sonny and Cher.

• One day in 1881, Dr. John Watson happened to rent a room at a lodging house at 221B Baker Street in London, England. His roommate was a mysterious chap named Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was quite secretive about what he did for a living, but eventually confessed that he was a private detective, which (at the time) was a rather rare profession. Fascinated by Holmes’ tales and the way he employed logical deduction to

solve cases, the two became not only friends but also coworkers and confidantes. • That levelheaded, sturdy housewife Blondie wasn’t so very domestic when she first appeared in the newspaper comics section some 70 years ago. Blondie Boopadoop was a carefree flapper back in 1930, when she met Dagwood Bumstead, the young play-boy son of a railroad tycoon. In fact, Dagwood’s millionaire father opposed his son’s re-lationship with Blondie, and threatened to cut off his financial support if they continued seeing one another. The elder Bumstead grudgingly gave his blessing to the marriage, but he still nixed his son’s inheritance, forcing Dagwood to become one of the working

class.• Clyde Barrow was born into extreme poverty in rural Texas. As he came of age, the Great Depression ravaged the nation, and the angry young man turned to burglary and robbery as a means of survival. One December evening in 1929, he was visiting a friend when he heard a clatter in the kitchen. “That’s Bonnie Parker,” the pal told him. “She’s making hot chocolate. Go say hello.” It was love at first sight; the pair chatted into the wee hours of the morning. The next day, Bonnie hit the road with Clyde and the pair

machine-gunned their way to infamy.• Daniel Wesson was born to a family in Worcester, Massachusetts. At 18, he was apprenticed to his brother’s shoe manufacturing company, but grew dissatisfied and joined up with another brother, Edwin, as a journeyman gunsmith. In 1852, Daniel met Horace Smith, a fellow gun enthusiast who’d learned about firearms while working at the

National Armory in nearby Springfield. They formed a partnership with the goal of marketing a lever action repeating pistol, and the

two became well known as Smith & Wesson.

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles

Don’t Fall for This Free LunchHave you seen the ads? They offer us a free lunch at a posh loca-tion while we attend a seminar on financial investing, with experts to advise us. Don’t be taken in by it. It could be the most expen-sive lunch you’ll ever have. The Securities and Exchange Commis-

sion and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority just released a report detailing the investment scams that are becoming rampant against seniors. While the study concentrated on Southern states, there’s no doubt this is happening

across the country.The scam works like this: When you think you’re going to an in-vestment education seminar that includes a free lunch at a nice place, you end up facing high-pressure sales tactics and misleading claims. You might be pushed to open new accounts, sign complicated docu-ments (without being given the opportunity to read them or take them to your attorney for review) or buy investment products that aren’t suitable for you (or that

might not even exist).Because we’re seniors and the top-ic is important to us, we’re prom-ised high returns on our life sav-ings with safe investments and excellent liquidity for a financially

secure retirement.Here are two ways to educate your-

self against investment fraud:¥ Go to AARP (www.aarp.org) and look at its online videos. Search for investment fraud and “The Lure of Money.” While you’re there, take the Investment Fraud IQ test

to see how you score.¥ Go to www.sec.gov and search for “free lunch report” for the whole 46-page study. It includes examples of the ads that are used in these scam free-lunch invest-ment seminars. If you have ques-

tions, call the SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy at 800-SEC-0330.

Here’s a scary thought: Research shows that 78 percent of us have received one of these free-lunch invitations.

NAME ORIGINS (continued):

• A department store janitor suffering from asth-ma was the inventor of the first upright vacuum. James Spangler set out to improve on the carpet sweeper he used at work, hoping to alleviate his attacks. He started with a tin box, a fan, a broom handle and a pillowcase to suck away the dust. He gave one of his new “Electric Suction Sweepers” to his cousin, Susan Hoover, whose husband “Boss” Hoover provided the financial backing, eventually purchased the patent from Spangler and gave the contraption a new name. • It’s convenient that Arby’s sells roast beef (R-B), but that’s not the source of the company’s acronym. It really stands for the initials of its founders, the Raffel Brothers, Forrest and Le-roy, who opened their first restaurant in Board-man, Ohio, in 1964. They had initially chosen the name Big Tex for their establishment, but another Ohio businessman was already using it. There are now more than 3,000 Arby’s across the United States.• Brothers Henry, Hilal, and Herman Has-senfeld were the founders of the world’s second-largest toymakers. Hasbro got its start in 1923 when these Polish immigrants started selling school supplies. In the late 1930s, they made the switch to toys, beginning with junior doctor and nurse kits and modeling clay. Today we know them for Mr. Potato Head, G.I. Joe and Trans-formers. • In 1927, a factory in Gothenburg, Sweden, rolled out its first automobile, christened the Volvo. The name came from the Latin, mean-ing, “I roll.” Eighty years later, the company had produced nearly 15 million vehicles.• The big business of athletic shoes has some interesting brand name origins. Adidas shoes draw their name from their founder Adolf “Adi” Dassler, who founded the company in 1949. NIKE is the winged goddess of victory in Greek mythology, and its famous swoop is said to re-semble the wing of that goddess. ASICS uses an acronym of a Latin phrase Anima sana in cor-pore sano, which translates to, “A sound mind in a sound body” to label their footwear. The speed of an African antelope, the rhebok, was the inspi-ration behind Reebok’s company name.• The name of German Henri Nestlé is synony-mous with good chocolate, but the world’s first baby formula was actually his first creation in 1867. Nestlé didn’t get into the chocolate-making business until 1929, when he acquired a Swiss chocolate company. The company logo is the original Nestlé family coat of arms, which fea-tures a bird’s nest containing a mother bird and two baby birds.

¥ It was Pulitzer Prize-winning Ameri-can author John Steinbeck, best known for “The Grapes of Wrath” and “Of Mice and Men,” who made the following sage observation: “The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most im-portant thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.”

¥ If you’re planning a summer trip to Maine, you won’t want to miss the stun-ning tourist attraction to be found on Peaks Island. There you’ll find an entire museum devoted to housing a rather extensive collection of umbrella covers.

¥ In the United States, January is the least popular month for weddings.

¥ If you’ve never heard of the quagga, don’t blame yourself. The creature, once found on the plains of Africa, has been extinct since 1883. An odd-looking creature, this subspecies of zebra was once thought to be half-zebra, half horse. Though the front part of its body had the zebra’s stripes, those stripes faded out mid-body and the rest of the equine looked remarkably like a com-mon horse.

¥ It’s been claimed that 19th-century English naturalist Charles Darwin de-voted eight years to studying the lowly barnacle.

¥ We all know that the day after Thanksgiving is commonly known as Black Friday, thanks to all the crowds seeking out deals on Christmas gifts, but have you ever wondered how it got that name? It seems that the moniker originated back in 1965 when the Phila-delphia police department came up with the name after having to deal with the traffic jams and shopping crowds.

From the Cat in the Hat to Horton, Yertle and the Grinch, Dr. Seuss has brought us some of our favorite characters and sto-ries. This week, Tidbits looks into the life of this genius, author of 44 children’s books, who passed away in 1991.

• Dr. Seuss was really Theodor S. Gei-sel, son of a Springfield, Massachusetts, parks superintendent and zookeeper. He took his pen name from his middle name, Seuss, which was his mother’s maiden name. • Dr. Seuss claimed that his ability to make clever rhymes came from memories of his mother lulling him to sleep as a child with “chanting” rhymes. She had used the technique to memorize the menu at the establishment where she had been a waitress.• His first book, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” debuted in 1937, and was named for a Springfield street. “The Cat in the Hat” didn’t come along until 1957. Along the way, Geisel enjoyed other careers as an ad man, creating cam-paigns for Standard Oil pesticides, as an Army filmmaker and a political cartoonist.• It’s a good thing Ted Geisel was persis-tent. “Mulberry Street” was submitted to 27 different publishers and rejected 27 times before it was finally accepted by Vanguard Press.• As a Lieutenant Colonel and command-er of the Animation Department of the U.S. Army Air Forces, Seuss made animated training movies and propaganda films. His creation “Design for Death” earned him the 1947 Academy Award for Best Documen-tary Feature. In addition, he was awarded the Oscar for 1951’s best cartoon, two Emmy awards, a Peabody and the Pulitzer Prize. • “Green Eggs and Ham” was the result of a wager. Seuss’ close friend Bennett Cerf bet him that he couldn’t write a book using 50 or less different words. The result was the English language’s third largest-selling book in history. • Dr. Seuss’ beginning readers, includ-ing “Ten Apples Up on Top”, “Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog”? and “Many Mice of Mr. Price,” were published under the name of Theo Lesieg, and were not illustrated by him. Look carefully, and you’ll see that Lesieg is his real name Geisel spelled backwards.• “The Cat in the Hat” was written in response to a magazine article about the problems of teaching children to read. Seuss used a mischievous cat who barged his way into a home where a young broth-er and sister were alone while their mother was out. The cat brought Thing One and Thing Two with him to create further havoc for Sally and her brother, who narrates the 1,626-word story.

necessary because it’s the time when the pasta absorbs it best. Do not add oil of any kind. Oil will coat the pasta, and the sauce will not stick.)3. Hold the pasta vertically over the boiling water and carefully slide it into the pot. Lower the heat to medium so the pasta water doesn’t foam up and boil over the sides. As the pasta begins to soften, use a long fork or wooden spoon to push the pasta into the water until it’s submerged.4. Turn the heat back up to high. Stir the pasta to keep it from clumping together. Stir every few minutes as needed to keep the pasta separated.5. After 6 to 8 minutes, use the fork or spoon to pull out a piece of pasta. Taste it to see if it is soft, not raw or starchy-tasting. The pasta is done when it is “al dente,” which is Italian for “when it is right for the tooth,” and refers to the correct cooking point of pasta. If the pasta isn’t done, let it continue to cook another 2 or 3 minutes until it’s soft but firm -- not mushy or overcooked.6. Fill a coffee cup with some of the pasta water and set it aside to use when making the sauce.7. Place a large colander in the sink. Using potholders to protect your hands, carefully move the pot to the sink. Carefully drain the pasta into the colander.8. Pick up the colander with the potholders and shake it well to remove any excess water from the pasta. Do NOT rinse the pasta. 9. Place the drained pasta back into the large pot and start making the sauce.

TO MAKE THE SAUCE:1. Using a large saucepan, over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning and spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and stir to combine. 2. When the spinach begins to wilt, stir in the sour cream or feta cheese and the pesto.3. Pour the sauce into the large pot containing the drained pasta. Turn the heat to low.4. Mix the sauce and the pasta together until well-combined.5. Use a 1 or 2 tablespoons of the pasta water to thin out the sauce, as needed.6. Place the finished pasta in a large bowl and serve immediately with garlic bread or rolls. Serves 6.

Keep It Simple in the Kitchen on Mother’s Day

My husband’s culinary skills begin and end with making a great pot of coffee. With that in mind, I’ve created a simple Mother’s Day dinner recipe that even a non-cook can successfully follow. Preparing a meal is one of the best ways to show someone you love them. After all, the origin of Mother’s Day is rooted in a daughter’s love and respect for her mother.In 1905, after her mother’s death, Anna M. Jarvis began a campaign to recognize her mother’s work as a community activist and peace advocate, and to honor her memory. It took several years, but in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother’s Day as a national holiday. The House of Representatives also adopted a resolution recommending that officials of the federal government wear white carnations on Mother’s Day.Here’s a simple recipe for Pasta With Spinach. The step-by-step directions will ensure a successful result for even the most unskilled cook, and create the perfect meal for the Moms we love.

Dog Life Vests, Safety Belts

Several years ago, a frightening incident inspired auto-motive safety specialist Christina Selter to found Bark-BuckleUP, a program that promotes pet safety.“We had a near-accident with our dogs in the car. (We were) only traveling about 2 mph from a stop sign, when a car ran a red light and our little Betty fell off the seat. (She) wasn’t hurt, but didn’t want to be on the seat or in the car. It took some time to get her confident again.”Selter, who has an SAE (Society of Automotive Engi-neers) certification, created BarkBuckleUP to remind owners to restrain their pets properly in the car, using safety belts specially designed for pets. She travels the U.S. throughout the year, promoting the message and working with police and fire departments to support the safety program. BarkBuckleUP also focuses on other safety issues, and Selter wants pet owners to stay aware. May is National Water Safety Month, and she reminds owners to keep a close eye on their pets while playing near or in the water.While explaining that most dogs love water, she warns, “Dogs get tired just like us. They need to take breaks.”Dogs also should wear a pet life vest when on the water with owners -- in a boat or other watercraft, for example. To keep dogs healthy, wash them off after they’ve fin-ished their swim. “A few years ago in California at a pet event, there was a huge breakout of hot spots (on dogs) after going into the ocean,” Selter says. “Clean their fur thoroughly and their feet. Clean them off every time.”The BarkBuckleUP website (www.BarkBuckleUP.com) features safety products for pets, including restraints for dogs and for pet carriers, life vests, first-aid kits, and more.
