TIDBITS® TAKES TIME TO

SALUTE THE ARMYby Rick Dandes

Two hundred and two years ago, the United States’ third president, Thomas Jefferson, in a message to Congress said, “For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.” That Colonial militia was a forefather of today’s armed forces, which keep us free and safe. Tidbits salutes the U.S. Army on its 235th birthday on June 14. This week we also salute the Canadian Forces. • Known as “His Majesty’s first Independent

Company of American Rangers,” the first Colonial American fighting unit was formed in 1747. Though it served England, the Rangers were American soldiers.

• The earliest reference to a Canadian military unit organized in a school dates from 1861; six years before Confederation. The Militia General Orders of June 3, 1861 authorized a Volunteer Militia Rifle Company, Class B to be called “Trinity College Volunteer Rifle Company.” Although this rifle company was more of an Officer Training Corps than a cadet corps, the beginnings of the Royal Cana-dian Army Cadets had been formed.

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.

THE ARMY (continued):• The Canadian Forces, formed officially on

Feb. 1, 1968, was the result of the unification and merging of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian AirForce.

• An unordered “shot heard around the world” that occurred on April 19, 1775, at Lexington Green near Boston quickly started the War for Independence. At this battle, the first in the Revolutionary War, eight Americans were killed and 10 wounded.

• On June 14, 1775, Congress approved the raising of 10 companies of riflemen to enlist in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia until the end of the Revolutionary War. These troops were known as the Continental Army.

• Even before an open treaty was signed between Colonial Americans fighting for independence and France, the French had secretly helped the cause of the Americans. France sent America money and army supplies and, in addition, able Frenchmen had come across the Atlantic to join the American army. The most noted of these was the Marquis de Lafayette.

• By the end of the French and Indian War, a new weapon had appeared on the frontier in Pennsylvania and to the south, one far better suited to guerrilla warfare than the musket. This weapon was later to become known as the Kentucky rifle.

• Congress established the U.S. Military Academy along the Hudson River, at West Point, New York, in 1802.

• In the early 1900s, General Samuel Young became the army’s first Chief of Staff and the first aeronautical division was set up within its signal corps.

• The “Star Spangled Banner” officially became the National Anthem in 1931.

THE ARMY (continued):• It’s about time: Private First Class Clarence

Wallaert was shot in the hip by a German sniper while fighting against the German Winter Line in Italy on Dec. 30, 1943. Wallaert bandaged his own wound and provided 12 hours of rifle support for his Army comrades advancing into the Liri Valley--the “gateway to Rome.” Nearly 66 years later, Wallaert, 86, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., for his meritorious actions during World War II.

• June 6, 1944: D-Day. In the largest, exclusively American field command, 1.3 million men stormed the beaches at Normandy in the greatest amphibious attack in history.

• In late 1944, in the wake of the allied forces’ successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, it seemed as if the Second World War was all but over. But on December 16, with the onset of winter, the German army launched a counteroffensive intended to cut through the Allied forces in a manner that would turn the tide of the war in Hitler’s favor. This was The Battle of the Bulge, where the courage and fortitude of the American Soldier was tested against great adversity.

• It’s a hit. The U.S. Army announced on Dec. 12, 1957, that “The Army Goes Rolling Along” (“Caisson Song”) was to be verified as their official song.

• It was something “special.” In 1952 Colonel Aaron Bank and Colonel Russell Volckmann, both former OSS members, convinced Army officials of the need for unconventional warriors. Bank established this new organization’s headquarters at Fort Bragg, recruiting former OSS officers, airborne and ranger troops, and seasoned war veterans. This new group was dubbed Special Forces, a designation derived from the OSS whose operational teams in the field were given the same name in 1944.

During Army basic training, the lieutenant looked over his troops and asked each of them where home was. After everyone had answered, he sneered and said, “You are all wrong, the Army is now your home.” Back at the barracks, he read the evening duties, then asked the first sergeant if he had anything to say. “You bet I do,” the sergeant replied. “Men, while you were gone today, I found beds improperly made, clothes not hanging correctly, shoes not shined and footlockers a mess. Where do you think you are? Home?”

Good To EatBy Tresa Erickson

Imagine having a fresh supply of pecans, almonds or some other type of nut in your backyard? Sound good? Read on to learn more about growing nut trees. Nut trees come in all types. Some produce nuts suitable for human con-sumption, while others produce nuts suitable for animal consumption. Hy-brids are very disease resistant and pro-duce a good harvest. Some nut trees are better suited to certain areas than others. Hybrids, for example, generally do well in areas subject to cold weather. To determine what nut trees would work best for your

area, speak to someone at your local nursery. They should be able to advise you as to the best ones for your area. Like any plant, nut trees have specific requirements. Generally, the larger the tree, the more space it re-quires. Some species will grow from 50 to 80 feet tall. Nut trees also require full sunlight and certain soil and moisture conditions. Some, like pecan trees, even require pollinators in order to produce. Depending upon what type you choose, you may need to plant more than one. Keep that in mind when selecting a planting site and make sure there are no hazards that could interfere with the tree’s growth, like power lines. You may plant nuts or saplings. Nuts, however, must be frozen before they will sprout, so either plant them in the fall or freeze them before planting them

in the spring. Should you decide to plant sap-lings, do so in the early spring and make sure the saplings are less than four feet tall. Any bigger than that, and the taproots could sustain some dam-age. Look for a nut tree that suits the conditions in your area and will be easy to care for once established. It takes nut trees several years to mature and pro-duce a crop. Be patient, and in time, you will have all of the nuts you want and more.

“Al’s Way”, The Walking Path

Al’s Way was named after the Glenrock High School coach, Al Finch. Al’s Way is the old Chicago North Western Railroad Right of Way. It was purchased by the town in November 1990 and constructed in September 1994 with many added improvements since then. Some of the features of Al’s Way are a centennial bench and a petrified wood arrangement donated by the Honadel family. The trestle was built in 1911 by the American Bridge Company of New York. There are numerous newly planted and established trees along the 2.5 miles of pathway. Al’s Way has undergone several changes this year. There have been the addition of lights along the pathway, the addition of a drip watering system to care for the trees, new benches and the addition of the geological monument donated by the

Honadel family. This wonderous arrangement of petrified wood is an amazing work of nature. The Town of Glenrock, along with it’s community members, continually work to enhance the parks system. For the summer of 2006, Al’s Way received another facelift in the addition of twenty-eight new trees: nine Patmore Ash, nine American Autumn Purple Ash and ten Spring Snow Flowering Crab. The Glenrock Public Works Department laid out the holes for the trees, dug the trenches for the drip watering system and had the topsoil waiting next to each tree site for the volunteers. Then they brought the trees to the site from storage. The cooperative efforts of the volunteers and the Public Works Department made quick work out of the tree planting. They were able to actually plant the trees in less than two hours, not counting the preparation time.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation awarded a Transportation Enhancement Activities - Local Program Grant (TEAL) to the Town of Glenrock for an extension of the pathway from the trestle running parallel along Deer Creek through the Glenrock Town Park in 2005. It will be an instructional pathway displaying plaques depicting the water crossings of the historical trails and of the beginnings

Welcome to Glenrock WyomingA town that works together for the betterment of their community

of the town when it was named Mercedes. There will also be plaques identifying the local flora and fauna. The pathway has been completed except for the placement of a few more plaques. Lighting has been installed and there are several benches placed along the pathway.

WEDDINGSMillions of brides and grooms say “I do” each year in America and Canada. That’s a lot of wedding cake!

• Thrice a bridesmaid, never a bride is an old charm that can be broken by being a bridesmaid seven times.

• For centuries, the month of June has been the most popular choice for weddings, but the original reason for this might surprise you. During the 1400 and 1500s, May was the month in which the “annual bath” occurred. Yes, just as it sounds, back then people were only able to bathe thoroughly once each year. As such, since the over-all population smelled relatively fresh in June, it was a good time to hold a special event like a wedding. Furthermore, the month of June is named after the goddess Juno, who was the Roman goddess of the hearth and home and patron of wives.

• Ancient tradition thought it was unwise to marry in the month of May because in Roman times the Feast of the Dead and the Festival of the Goddess of Chastity both occurred in May.

• The tradition for the bride to wear white began in the 16th century and is still commonly followed today. This is a symbol of the bride’s purity and her worthiness to her groom. The tradition became solidified during the time of Queen Victoria, who rebelled against the royal tradition for Royal brides to wear silver. The brides of the time quickly emulated the queen, and the tradition has continued in full force to this day.

• To practice writing your new name prior to the wedding (and what bride doesn’t do this?) is believed to tempt fate and thus, is also believed to result in bad luck during the marriage. 100 Boxelder Road • Glenrock • 307-436-2742

WEDDINGSMillions of brides and grooms say “I do” each year in America and Canada. That’s a lot of wedding cake!

• Thrice a bridesmaid, never a bride is an old charm that can be broken by being a bridesmaid seven times.

• For centuries, the month of June has been the most popular choice for weddings, but the original reason for this might surprise you. During the 1400 and 1500s, May was the month in which the “annual bath” occurred. Yes, just as it sounds, back then people were only able to bathe thoroughly once each year. As such, since the over-all population smelled relatively fresh in June, it was a good time to hold a special event like a wedding. Furthermore, the month of June is named after the goddess Juno, who was the Roman goddess of the hearth and home and patron of wives.

• Ancient tradition thought it was unwise to marry in the month of May because in Roman times the Feast of the Dead and the Festival of the Goddess of Chastity both occurred in May.

• The tradition for the bride to wear white began in the 16th century and is still commonly followed today. This is a symbol of the bride’s purity and her worthiness to her groom. The tradition became solidified during the time of Queen Victoria, who rebelled against the royal tradition for Royal brides to wear silver. The brides of the time quickly emulated the queen, and the tradition has continued in full force to this day.

• To practice writing your new name prior to the wedding (and what bride doesn’t do this?) is believed to tempt fate and thus, is also believed to result in bad luck during the marriage.
