TIDBITS® TAKES A LOOK AT

OUR PARKSby Rick Dandes

Our parks and historic sites are national treasures that belong to everyone, and what better time of year to visit them than right now, in the summer months? From the redwoods of Northern California to Niagara Falls that straddles New York and Ontario, Tidbits, shines a spotlight on parks, both in the United States and Canada. • The world’s first national park, Yellowstone,

was created by an act of Congress in 1872 as a “pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people in order to protect for all time this outstanding natural area.”

• The most and the least: California has the most National Parks with 23; Delaware has none.

• At 1,932 feet (588.9 meters), Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. It is the centerpiece of Crater Lake National Park, located in southern Oregon.

• The spectacular Banff National Park was established in 1885 as Canada’s first National Park (third in the world) and was the birth place of Canada’s vast national parks system; the park covers 6,641 square kilometers (2,564 miles).

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

OUR PARKS (CONTINUED)•While the name Devil’s Tower (in Yellowstone

National Park) may not be a household word, millions can recognize its shape from the 1977 movie, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” It is also our country’s first national monument.

• Niagara Falls, though a state park, is comprised of two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, the majority of which lies on the Canadian side of the border, and American Falls on the American side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls is also located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island.

• Niagara Falls is 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Buffalo, New York, and 79 miles (127 km) southeast of Toronto, Ontario.

• The Falls at Niagara cannot claim to be the highest or the widest in the world, or even to have the greatest flow of water. Iguazu Falls on the Paraguay-Brazil-Argentina borders surpasses Niagara Falls on all three counts. But Niagara’s are the world’s most popular.

• Seven people have gone over the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls in a barrel. Four lived, and unfortunately, three died. Only two living things have been seen to go over Niagara Falls safely without special protection: a dog over the American Falls in the 1800s and a boy over the Horseshoe Falls in 1960.

• Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, features North America’s highest mountain, 20,320-foot-high (6,194 m) Mount McKinley.

• Mount Whitney in California stands 14,494 feet (4,418 m), and is located in Sequoia National Park.

• Thomas Alva Edison was born in Milan Ohio, though the national historic site named in his honor is located in West Orange, New Jersey.

includes more than 336 miles (541 km) of explored and mapped caves.

• Located in California’s Owens Valley, Manzanar National Historic Site preserves one of 10 camps at which Japanese American citizens and Japanese aliens were interned during World War II.

• Cumberland Falls, the largest waterfall east of the Rockies (except Niagara) is known as the “Niagara of the South.” Clear water pours over rocks in a cascade that is more than 60 feet (18 m) high and 125 feet (38 m) wide. The waterfall is the centerpiece of Cumberland Falls State Park in Kentucky.

• The largest park unit in the United States is the Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve in Alaska, which covers 13.2 million acres, including 8.7 million acres of wilder-ness area.

• In Utah, there is a park that commemorates the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The Golden Spike National Historic Site marks the joining of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads in 1869.

• Did you know: The Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Hawaii was the site of a leprosy settlement from 1886-1969.

• The home of Clara Barton, (founder of the American Red Cross), in Glen Echo, Maryland, served as headquarters for the American Red Cross from 1897 to1904 and was established as a unit of the National Park Service in 1975.

Clue: This park in Wyoming was named after the highest mountain in the park.


Here are some things you can do to preserve the environment in parks and recreation areas. Check to see if water is used responsibly in gardens, fountains, lakes and swimming pools. Is sufficient space provided in the park for birds, insects, animals and other wildlife? And finally, are plenty of trash cans around to reduce littering?

The Grand Canyon is one of the most impressive geologic formations in the world, consisting of gorges, canyons and ravines cut by the Colorado River along a winding 217-mile (349 km) course, extending from Arizona’s northern boundary with Utah to its eastern border with Nevada.

MARCH ISCLEAN AIR MONTH (US)

birthstone: emerald

Two young men were camping in a park, when they came upon a great trout brook. They stayed all day, enjoying the fishing. Then, knowing that they would be graduating from college soon, they vowed to meet in 20 years at the same place. Twenty years later, they met and traveled to a spot near where they had been years before. They walked into the woods and came upon a brook. One of the men said to the other, “This is the place!” The other said, “No, it’s not!” The first man said, “I recognize the clover growing on the bank on the other side.” To which the other man replied, “Silly, you can’t tell a brook by its clover.”

The Statue of Liberty was built by French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi. The statue took nine years to build and was finally finished in 1884, when it was presented to America on July 4. It didn’t arrive in the United States until many months later though, because all 350 individual pieces of the statue had to be packed into 214 crates for the sea voyage from France to New York.

Deliciously SweetBy Tresa Erickson

Of all of the fruits you like to eat, straw-berries are your favorite. You love the de-liciously sweet red berries, alone and in desserts. You purchase them often, but you wish you had access to a more con-stant supply. Why not grow your own?

Strawberries come in three types: June or spring bearing, everbearing and day neutral. June bearing provides strawber-ries for two to three weeks in the spring. Everbearing provides strawberries in the spring, summer and fall. Day neutral pro-vides strawberries throughout the grow-ing season. The latter works well for gar-dens limited in space.

Each type of strawberry has several vari-eties. You should select the type and va-riety that will work best for your area and garden site. For the best results, the site should have deep, sandy loam soil high

in organic matter, good drainage and full sun. It should also be well away from grass sod areas that have recently been plowed and from areas where eggplants, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes have been grown in the past four years. The former may have white grubs, which like to feed on strawberries, while the latter may carry a fungus, which can destroy strawberries.

To prepare the soil, you should test it first. Ideally, the pH should be between 5.8 and 6.2. You should fertilize the soil before planting and soak it to get the fer-tilizer into the root zone. Once you have planted the strawberries, you will need to water them an inch a week and remove all weeds.

For maximum growth, it is impor-tant you plant the strawberries as soon as the soil is dry enough. Dig some holes large enough to spread out the roots and place the

plants inside. You don’t want to plant them too deep or too shallow. The soil should cover the tops of the roots but not the crown. You may use a variety of planting systems. The most common are:• Matted row. In this system, the straw-berries are planted 18 to 30 inches apart in rows three to four feet apart. The daughter plants are allowed to root free-ly, creating a matted row 24 inches wide. The system works best for June-bearing strawberries.

IT SEEMS THAT THE NEW MIDDLE CLASS 550cc MACHINES HAVE STARTED TO FIND THEIR GROOVE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SOME MANUFACTURERS STILL OFFER A 500cc MIDDLE WEIGHT. THERE ARE 2 THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING INTO THE LIGHT AND DO SOME STRAIGHT UP COMPARISON OF THE SPECS, AND FEATURES. AND LETS REMEMBER I AM COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE MACHINES ARE 550cc WITH E.P.S.(ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. LETS TAKE THE 550 GRIZZLY E.P.S. AND THE POLARIS SPORTSMAN 550 E.P.S AND BREAK EACH OF THESE MACHINES DOWN BY THE NUMBERS.FIRST THE ENGINE. YAMAHA’S ENGINE IS A 558cc SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM 4 VALVE HEAD, POLARIS’S ENGINE IS A 549cc SINGLE OVER HEAD CAM AND THE AMOUNT OF VALVES IN THE HEAD IS NOT POSTED SO I CAN’T SAY FOR SURE HOW MANY VALVES ARE IN THE HEAD. WELL JUST BY TAKING A LOOK AT THESE SPECS I THINK YAMAHA HAS A LITTLE BIT OF AND ADVANTAGE WITH JUST A SLIGHT LARGER ENGINE THAN THE POLARIS MODEL. NOW WE WILL MOVE TO THE RACKS AND CAPACITIES. IT SEEMS POLARIS HAS A ADVANTAGE OVER YAMAHA ON THE COMBINED FRONT AND REAR RACK CAPACITIES. TOTAL FOR THE POLARIS IS 360 AND TOTAL FOR THE YAMAHA IS 286. THE RACKS ON THE POLARIS SEEM TO BE SOME SORT OF HYBRID SET UP AS OPPOSED TO THE TRADITIONAL STYLE ON THE YAMAHA. I WILL LEAVE LIKE OR DON’T LIKE OF THE RACKS UP TO YOU. NEXT WE WILL COMPARE 4WD SYSTEM. THE YAMAHA HAS PUSH BUTTON ENGAGEMENT FOR BOTH 4WD AND DIFF LOC, WHICH LOCKS THE FRONT TIRES WITH THE REAR SO THAT ALL FOUR TIRES PULL AT THE SAME TIME. POLARIS OFFERS PUSH BUTTON ALL WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY WHEN THE REAR TIRES SLIP. SO THE MACHINE ACTUALLY DECIDES WHEN THE RIDER NEEDS 4WD AND NOT THE RIDER. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL AND UTILIZING ENGINE BRAKING IT SEEMS THAT WITH THE YAMAHA YOU CAN HAVE ALL 4 WHEELS DOING THE BRAKING FOR YOU AND

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE THE REAR 2 OF THE POLARIS BRAKING FOR YOU DUE TO THEIR “ALL WHEEL DRIVE” SYSTEM. IM PROBABLY GOING TO LEAN TOWARDS YAMAHA HAVING AND ADVANTAGE ON BOTH THE 4WD AND ENGINE BRAKING DEPARTMENT. ALL SPECS WERE GATHERD OFF OF BOTH MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE. TAKE A LOOK FOR YOUR SELF AND COMPARE AND SEE WHO HAS THE CLEAR ADVANTAGE. THANKS FOR READING. Article provided by John Moulton, Glenrock Motorsports

STAR WARS“Star Wars” is an epic space saga initially conceived by George Lucas and tells the story of conflict and love in a “galaxy far, far away.” The first film in the series, “Star Wars,” was released in 1977 and almost instantly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, spawning two sequels, released at three-year intervals. “The Empire Strikes Back” was released on May 21, 1980, and “Return of the Jedi” was released on May 25, 1983.

• Happy birthday! “Star Wars” was released 33 years ago on May 25.

• Though the first film in the series was simply titled “Star Wars,” it later had the subtitle “Episode IV: A New Hope” added to distinguish it from its sequels and prequels.

• The six films together were nominated for a total of 22 Academy Awards, of which they won seven.

• In 1971, Universal Studios agreed to make “American Graffiti” and “Star Wars” in a two-picture contract, although Star Wars was later rejected in its early concept stages.

• Lucas’s second movie, “American Graffiti,” was completed in 1973, and, a few months later, Lucas wrote a short summary called “The Journal of the Whills,” which told of the training of apprentice C.J. Thorpe as a “Jedi-Bendu” space commando by the legendary Mace Windy.

• Frustrated that his idea for a space epic was too difficult to understand, Lucas then wrote a 13-page treatment called The Star Wars, which was a loose remake of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress.”

Last-Minute Vacation DealsIf you have some extra vacation time coming, maybe just a few days that you could tack onto a weekend, consider some of the last-minute vacation deals that are available. The key is to be flexible about your destination and when you go. There are two ways to find last-minute deals:1) Call local travel agents. They might need a fill-in person for a trip due to a last-minute cancellation. 2) Use the Internet, with caution. Priceline (priceline.com) has last-minute trips by the dozens. These include hotel and airfare to your destination. Last-minute car rentals

are available as well. Or, choose an airfare and rental car without a hotel. Or, you can combine hotel, airfare and car in your search. From the main page of the site, click on Last Minute Deals and order your vacation. Priceline also includes an option of naming your own price. Make your choices of departure and arrival cities, plus your travel dates, and you'll be shown the suggested prices. You'll need to be ready to purchase immediately. Expedia (expedia.com or 1-800-397-3342) has a last-minute vacation section. From the front page of the site, click Deals and Offers. You'll have a choice of airfare plus hotel, only hotel or airfare, car rentals and cruises. Start by selecting your departure city from the drop-down menu. The travel dates and costs are right there on the page, making it easy to see what's available.Orbitz (orbitz.com or 1-888-656-4546) also has last-minute vacations. Click on Deals on the front page of the site and scroll down through the offerings. Be sure to check Cruises, as those are the ones most likely to have last-minute accommodations they need to fill. Look closely

at the departure city and dates of the cruise. The Orbitz site has very small print in some areas.Cautions when booking a last-minute trip online. • If you'll need a passport, make sure yours is up to date.• Be sure you can make the trip before you press the send button and place your order. • If you see something you know you want, click quickly. If you leave the computer and come back 10 minutes later, that deal probably won't be there.• Stick to the bigger online sites for security.

STAR WARS“Star Wars” is an epic space saga initially conceived by George Lucas and tells the story of conflict and love in a “galaxy far, far away.” The first film in the series, “Star Wars,” was released in 1977 and almost instantly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon, spawning two sequels, released at three-year intervals. “The Empire Strikes Back” was released on May 21, 1980, and “Return of the Jedi” was released on May 25, 1983.

• Happy birthday! “Star Wars” was released 33 years ago on May 25.

• Though the first film in the series was simply titled “Star Wars,” it later had the subtitle “Episode IV: A New Hope” added to distinguish it from its sequels and prequels.

• The six films together were nominated for a total of 22 Academy Awards, of which they won seven.

• In 1971, Universal Studios agreed to make “American Graffiti” and “Star Wars” in a two-picture contract, although Star Wars was later rejected in its early concept stages.

• Lucas’s second movie, “American Graffiti,” was completed in 1973, and, a few months later, Lucas wrote a short summary called “The Journal of the Whills,” which told of the training of apprentice C.J. Thorpe as a “Jedi-Bendu” space commando by the legendary Mace Windy.

• Frustrated that his idea for a space epic was too difficult to understand, Lucas then wrote a 13-page treatment called The Star Wars, which was a loose remake of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress.”
