WOMEN IN HISTORYby Kathy Wolfe

This week, we look at several women, both fa-mous and infamous, who have made their mark and found their way into the history books.

• Sacajawea, the Shoshone woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition, was sold at a young age to a French Canadian trader, Charbonneau, who made her his wife. Lewis and Clark were especially interested in her language abilities, which enabled them to trade with the Shoshone. She didn’t speak English, but rather spoke the Indian language to Charbonneau, who translated it to French to another member of the party, who in turn converted the French into English for the explorers. Her duties were multiple–She guided, she cooked, hunted for food, mended and washed clothes, as well as foraged for plants she knew had medicinal purposes. For all her hard work, at the end of the expedition, Charbonneau received the payment. Following her death, William Clark legally adopted her son, giving him an education in St. Louis and Europe.

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.

WOMEN IN HISTORY (continued):• It’s hard to separate the fact from the fiction

in the case of Calamity Jane. This rough-and-tumble, cussing, drinking woman who dressed like a man is said to have been a crack shot. Born Martha Jane Cannary in 1852, she was a gold miner, scout, a soldier and a Pony Express rider. One claim states that she nursed several people back to health during an 1878 smallpox epidemic. Although she reportedly married Clinton Burke at age 33 and bore a daughter, it’s said that her last wishes were, “Bury me beside Wild Bill, the only man I ever loved,” speaking of Wild Bill Hickok, killed during a Deadwood card game. She lies beside the gunslinger in Terry, South Dakota.

• Most of us have heard the children’s rhyme about Lizzie Borden, who “took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks, and when she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41.” It was in 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts, that her father and stepmother were found dead in their home. Lizzie claimed she had been in the barn looking for fishing equipment when it happened. Because her father had no will, his nearly $500,000 estate was to go to his children, not his second wife. If Lizzie Borden really did the deed, she didn’t pay the consequences. Although this Sunday School teacher stood trial for the murders, with no weapon found, there was insufficient evidence to convict her. She was buried next to her parents in 1927. The family home has been operated as a bed-and-breakfast since 1992. Although reports vary, it appears as though Andrew Borden was only struck a fraction of the time the rhyme claims (10 or 11).

WOMEN IN HISTORY (continued):• Most folks know that Emily Post was a noted

authority on manners and social behavior, but she got her start in writing newspaper and magazine articles, along with a few novels. Raised in prosperity, Post attended private schools and was a popular debutante in late 1800s New York society. A failed marriage and financial woes forced her to begin her writing career, but it wasn’t until 20 years later that she penned her first book about etiquette.

• Amelia Earhart had accomplished much before she and her plane disappeared in July of 1937. She was the first aviator to fly from Hawaii to the mainland, had set the women’s altitude and speed records, and was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. She was attempting to complete the first round-the-world flight at the time of her disappearance. One guess is that she and her co-pilot were captured, imprisoned or killed by the Japanese on the island of Saipan.

• Rosa Parks became known as the “mother of the civil rights movement” after she refused to relinquish her bus seat to a white man in 1955. After she was arrested for the violation of a Montgomery, Alabama, city racial segregation ordinance, Martin Luther King Jr., led a boycott of the city’s bus system, an action that lasted nearly a year. Once the ordinance was declared unconstitutional, the boycott immediately ended. At one time a seamstress, after a move to Detroit the year following the incident, Parks joined the staff of a Michigan Congressman. She was honored in 1996 with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

• The first American woman to win three Olympic gold medals had a rough start in life. Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely and suffered numerous illnesses throughout her childhood, including measles, mumps, scarlet fever, chicken pox and double pneumonia. The

Beginning in 1850, Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave, contributed to the freedom of more than 300 others through a complex system of “safe houses” known as the Underground Railroad. Her courage and success rate were so legendary that $40,000 was offered in rewards for her capture.

By Samantha Weaver

• It was 19th-century author Samuel Butler who made the following sage observation: "Morality is the custom of one's country and the current feeling of one's peers. Cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country." • When the city of New York was concerned about leaks in its main water-supply system, it found a novel approach to the problem. Six experienced deep-sea divers were hired to live in a pressurized tank within the water-supply tunnel for a month while they investigated the leaks. • Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Popsicle was invented by an 11-year-old boy.

• If you would like to get into modeling and live the glamorous life, you might want to reconsider: Researchers at Dow Jones MarketWatch have found that the average model makes a mere $11 to $12 per hour. • Statistics show that for every person born in the United States, there are 15 puppies and 45 kittens born. • In 1950, the average executive earned about 30 times as much as the average worker. Today's executives earn 300 to 500 times as much. • Evidently wild monkeys are causing a bit of trouble for railroads in India. It seems that the monkeys board trains and run amok, causing no small amount of consternation to the passengers. To combat the problem, police in the city of Delhi hired a black-faced langur monkey to ride the trains and frighten off the wild monkeys. There's no word on what wages were offered. • The most common surnames in the United States are, in order, Smith, Johnson, Williams and Jones. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Love To Fish? Make AVacation Of It!By Tresa Erickson

An avid angler, you’re always looking for new opportunities to engage in the activity. You’ve fished all of the local hot spots as well as many in-state ones. Now you’re ready to venture beyond the state lines, and your spouse has suggested you make a vacation of it.

Fishing vacations run the gamut from short weekend trips at popular lake-side resorts to extended package tours at remote sites. You can even go on a fishing trip abroad. You can plan your own fishing vacation or you can seek the help of a travel agent or a fishing guide.

Before you do anything, you need to de-termine what type of trip you’re after.

Do you want to do some freshwater or saltwater fishing? Do you want to fish for trout, bass or some other species? Do you want to fly solo or fish with a group? Do you want to travel near or far?

The answers to these questions should give you some idea of the va-cation you are seeking and where you should start your search. If you are looking for a saltwater adventure among friends in a re-mote location, then you will probably want to call a travel agent and look for a package deal. If you are looking to learn a lot in a popu-lar freshwater lake up north, you may want to hire a fishing guide.

As with any vacation, you will want to look for the best deals and check out the ameni-

ties offered. Find out the perks and the rates. Off-season rates are usually low-er. However, the fish may not be biting as well then. Make sure you check out the conditions of the waters you will be fishing.

Deciding to go on a fishing vacation is easy. Planning one, on the other hand, can be difficult. Check out all of the options and do your best to select the right one, even if it is just loading up the pickup, driving across the state line and pitching a tent near some stream.

But what if it were all gone? Poof! Not if the members of the New RAMS of Glenrock can help it. In fact, many merchants are going out of their way to accommodate customers, thinking up new and innovative ways to keep the doors open and business bustling. That’s good news for consumers. Sometimes, it’s not just the price of an item or service that is the bottom line for customers, but it’s the total value of the experience. RAMS

dedicated to the community and businesses of Glenrock/Converse County...bringing exciting weekend events, annual celebrations and the upholding of the organization’s values to preserve and protect offers countless patrons to the district the kind hospitality, and the sense of community that is truly Glenrock.

Glenrock merchants are in a class among themselves, adding character and diversity to the city while putting their customers first. Each customer experience is distinct and knowing that Glenrock businesses care about patrons as individuals is an added benefit that is hard to come by elsewhere.

Simplify Your LifeDownsizing, simplifying our lives, non-consumerism, voluntary simplicity, paring down -- no matter what you call it, cutting back in different areas of your life often can leave you with ... more, especially more money and free time.That's not to say we should all sell our homes and move into a converted 300-square foot garage. Changing a lifestyle that's always said "more is better" might not be easy, but in many cases it can be well worth your while to take at least a few steps toward a simpler life right where you are.Some basics:¥ Figure out what's important to you, and get rid of everything else.

¥ Before you buy anything, ask yourself: Will something you already have work just as well? Can it be repaired, and is it cost effective to do so? Where will this new item live? Is it something of lasting value? Is there

another way to get it besides handing over money?¥ Barter for what you need, using your unwanted items or your own skills in trade. Simply knowing how to change the oil in your neighbor's car is a valuable skill to someone who doesn't have it but can offer fresh vegetables or child care in exchange. ¥ Clothing: Shop charity stores, FreeCycle [www.freecycle.org] and the free section of Craig's List [www.craigslist.org] instead of buying new. Give away two items for every one you bring into the house.¥ De-clutter: Knick-knacks covering flat surfaces, multiple wrist watches, a dozen pairs of shoes, a dining-room table with seating for 12 when the most you ever use is four chairs -- all this and more is clutter. If you

have to dust it, step around it or hunt for it in the closet, it could be clutter.¥ Cash in on unwanted (or unused) possessions at a garage sale (go in with a couple neighbors to make the task easier), or list on FreeCycle or Craig's List. Give worn linens to the Humane Society for animal bedding; give books to the hospital. Give suits (for men and women) to a local clothing closet for those who are job hunting. Consider: The less you own, the less you have to take care of. The less you buy, the more money you keep in your pocket.

-OLOGISTSIt’s pretty obvious that a bacteriologist studies bacteria, but what about all those other experts who devote themselves to a certain field? Tidbits takes a closer look at some of the more unusual specialists. • What a difference one little letter makes! A

nephologist specializes in the study of clouds and their formation, while a nephrologist deals with the function and diseases of the kidneys. A cytologist is an expert in the branch of biology that studies the structure and function of cells, but a cetologist is an authority in the field of whales and other aquatic mammals. While an ethologist studies animal behavior, an ethnologist analyzes cultural and ethnic differences among humans. And a cartologist and a carpologist are miles apart! The former specializes in creating maps and the latter does research on fruits and seeds.

• A graphologist claims to be able to tell much about you from studying your handwriting. By examining your dots, crossed t’s and curlicues, this specialist identifies personality traits, emotions, areas of tension and even potential psychological problems.

• An ichthyologist will know that there are more than 31,500 different species of fish that have been discovered. One of history’s earliest ichthyologists was the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who had catalogued 117 different species of Mediterranean fish as early as 322 B.C.

• A spelunker enjoys exploring caves, but a speleologist delves into their origin and physical structure, and the plant and animal life within them. They are often responsible for the mapping of caves as well as rescue techniques.

-OLOGISTS (continued):• Herpetologists and ophiologists are closely

related. Herpetologists study the broader field of reptiles and amphibians, while ophiologists narrow it down to the specialized area of snakes.

• No, a phonologist isn’t the person behind the counter at the cell phone store. It’s really one who investigates sounds and patterns in a language.

• Someone who spends a lot of time around workers, drones and a queen might be an apiologist, one who studies honey bees. Early apiologists discovered that the queen is the mother of all the female worker bees and the male drones. By researching the biology and social network of the bees, pollination and honey production can be increased.

• Myrmecologists’ area of expertise is the social structure and behavior of ants. They take a close look at life in the colony. Myrmecology is actually a branch of entomology, the study of insects.

• A person with a degree in equestrian studies can be referred to as a hippologist, one who is knowledgeable about horses. The root of the word, hippo-, comes from the Greek language, meaning “horse.” The name of the enormous African river-dwelling hippopotamus actually translates “river horse,” and hippodrome refers to an open-air stadium with a track used for horse racing.

• If you’re familiar with a Fairy Lorikeet, Gloss-mantled Manucode or Band-tailed Oropendola, you just might be an ornithologist, an authority in the field of birds.

Did you know that about one-third of the food we purchase gets thrown away? One way to reduce waste is to pay close attention to the expiration dates. Another is to keep a small plastic bin in the frig for all those bits and pieces of leftovers, such as part of an onion, a piece of meat, etc., making it less likely they’ll get lost in the shuffle.

Beginning in 1850, Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave, contributed to the freedom of more than 300 others through a complex system of “safe houses” known as the Underground Railroad. Her courage and success rate were so legendary that $40,000 was offered in rewards for her capture.

Charlotte Whitton, the first female mayor of a major city in Canada (Ottawa) is noted for the saying, “Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.”

The first woman to swim the English Channel actually beat the men’s world record by one hour and 59 minutes. Gertrude Ederle accomplished this feat in about 14 and a-half hours in 1926. Her hearing was permanently impaired as a result of her achievement, spurring her on to become a swim-ming instructor for deaf children.
