TIDBITS® CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY

by Rick Dandes

Independence Day is the most important national holiday in the United States. It commemorates the formal adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which broke the formal ties between the colonies and Britain after the American Revolution had begun. Canada observes its equivalent of Indepen-dence Day, the establishment of its federal govern-ment, on July 1. Now known as Canada Day, this holiday was previously known as Dominion Day and Confederation Day and commemorates the British North America Act of July 1, 1867, which gave Canadians home rule. • In May 1775, after nearly a year of trying to re-solve their differences with England, the colonies sent delegates to the Second Continental Con-gress. Finally, in June 1776, admitting that their efforts were hopeless, a committee was formed to compose the formal Declaration of Independence. Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the committee also included John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston and Roger Sherman. On June 28, 1776, Thomas Jefferson presented the first draft of the declaration to Congress.• Two American icons who were instrumental in ensuring the country’s independence passed away on July 4. Both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on Independence Day in 1826.• The patriotic poem “America the Beautiful” was published on July 4, 1895, by Wellesley College professor Katherine Lee Bates.• The July 4 Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest was first held in 1916, the year Nathan’s opened its flagship restaurant on Surf Avenue in Coney Island, New York.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Look Around You” Season One” (Unrated) -- Co-written and starring comedian Peter Se-rafinowicz, “Look Around You” is one of the fun-niest and most surreal television programs I’ve seen since “Wonder Showzen.” Originally broad-cast on the BBC in 2002, this cult classic finally made its American run last year on Adult Swim.“Look Around You” is a spoof of educational television shows from the 1970s and ‘80s. The episodes (or “modules” as they’re called) are meticulously shot to look like worn, scratched, dated film from the era, with washed-out colors and fake scientific apparatus bedecked with DYMO labels, vintage LED readouts and faux-wood trim. What makes the show so surreal is that even though it’s made to look like it was shot in the 1970s, the era in question must exist in another universe, as things such as ghosts are scientifi-cally proven to be real (and in one module it is explained why they can’t sneeze), and ants ap-parently have An Agenda.The DVD not only contains the entire first sea-son, but also features several commentary tracks by Serafinowicz, co-writer Robert Pop-per, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Edgar Wright, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and Tim & Eric, along with a slew of cool special features.

“Black Narcissus” [Criterion Collection] (Un-rated) -- Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons and David Farrar star in this lushly photographed, Academy Award-winning melodrama of a group of nuns’ attempt to start a convent in the Hima-layas. Battling the unforgiving elements and the temptations of the flesh, characters are driven to the brink of madness and murder most foul. “Black Narcissus” is a tour-de-force featuring some of the most breathtaking Technicolor cinematography of the age and riveting perfor-mances from its stars. Well worth a look.

FROM THE DISCOUNT BIN“The Runaways” (R) -- Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart star as Cherie Currie and Joan Jett in this uneven biopic about The Run-aways, the all-girl prefab rock band from the ‘70s that was marketed more for its Lolita sex appeal than its music. The film is based on the memoirs of Cherie Currie, so naturally the film focuses mostly on her and her relationship with Joan Jett. Unfortunately, this leaves the rest of the band members (especially Lita Ford) rel-egated to virtually non-existent roles.I thought Fanning -- although an interesting choice -- was sorely miscast in the role. On the other hand, Kristen Stewart did a pretty good job as Joan Jett -- and considering how much I hate “Twilight,” that’s quite a compliment.If you’re looking to see a good movie about The Runaways, I recommend picking up a copy of “Edgeplay,” the gritty and brutally honest documentary about the band, and leave the Fanning/Stewart flick in the cutout bin where it belongs.

INDEPENDENCE DAY (continued):

• The major objection to being ruled by Britain was taxation without representation. The colo-nists had no say in the decisions of English Parliament.• Although Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4, John Adams originally thought it would be celebrated on the second. Here is what he wrote to his wife on July 3, 1776: “The Sec-ond Day of July 1776, will be the most memo-rable Epocha, in the History of America. I believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding genera-tions, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God.” • The signing of the Declaration was not com-pleted until August 1776, but the Fourth of July holiday has been accepted as the official anniversary of U.S. independence. It was not declared a federal holiday until 1941. Today, it is celebrated in all states and territories of the United States. • The 56 signers of the Declaration of Indepen-dence did not sign at the same time. The official event occurred on August 2, 1776, when 50 men signed it.• The first Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, four days after the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Some accounts claim that it was The Liberty Bell sounding from the tower of Indepen-dence Hall on that day that summoned citizens to gather for the first public reading of the Decla-ration, which was given by Colonel John Nixon. • Within a few years of that first commemoration, the Fourth of July was observed throughout most of the new nation.• The first two versions of the famous Liberty Bell were defective and had to be recast. The third version rang every Fourth of July from 1778 to 1846, when, according to legend, it cracked as it was being tolled for the celebration of George Washington’s birthday.• In 1778, General George Washington marked the Fourth with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute. Across the sea, ambassadors John Adams and Benjamin Frank-lin held a dinner for their fellow Americans in Paris, France. • An elaborate Fourth of July celebration was held in Philadelphia in 1788, following the ratifi-cation of the Constitution.• The first public Fourth of July event at the White House occurred in 1801.

¥ You might be surprised to learn that it was theoretical physicist Albert Ein-stein, one of the best-known scientists of all time, who made the following sage observation: “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

¥ On average, a man’s beard grows about a half-inch every month.

¥ Do you suffer from coprolalia? I would hope not! If you’re a word deconstruc-tionist and up on your Greek, you might be able to figure out that coprolalia means an uncontrollable use of ob-scene language, since “copro” means “dung” and “lalia” means “chatter” or “babble.”

¥ Marilyn Monroe’s iconic film “Some Like It Hot” (which in 2000 was named the greatest American comedy film of all time by the American Film Institute) was originally titled “Not Tonight Jose-phine!”

¥ The next time you have jury duty and want to get out of it, you might want to keep this in mind: A judge in Liverpool, England, dismissed a man from the jury when fellow jurors complained about the fleas in his beard. ¥ At one time, the Catholic Church con-sidered it sinful to eat a hot dog. ¥ If you’re ever visiting Egypt and ask-ing for directions, remember that in that country, “upstream” means south. ¥ It’s probably fair to say that people have been enjoying mixed alcoholic beverages for hundreds of years, but the word “cocktail” wasn’t in general use until 1888, when it was printed for the first time, in a bartender’s manual. ¥ In Connecticut in the 17th century, it was illegal to smoke more than one cigarette a day, and that one had to be smoked at home.

Born Thomas Jones Woodward in Ponty-pridd, South Wales, Great Britain, on June 7, 1940, musician Tom Jones is now an international star.• Life wasn’t easy for young Tom Jones. His father worked the coalmines of the Rhondda Valley, while his mother tended the house and the two children.• Jones began singing at an early age. He sang in the church and with the choir at school. He would ask his mother to “pull the drapes and announce me,” as he sang on his “stage” in the sitting room. He wasn’t a very good student. After graduation, at age 17, he married and had a son. • Tom Jones began singing profession-ally in 1963, performing as Tommy Scott with the Senators, a Welsh group. In 1964, he recorded a handful of solo tracks with record producer Joe Meek and shopped them to various record companies with little success.• But persistence pays off. Record com-panies at first found Tom’s sound raucous and too powerful, the performance style too forward and sexual. Then in late 1964, he landed a recording contract with Decca Records.• Tom Jones’ first single was not a great success, but the next choice, a new song called “It’s Not Unusual,” was a huge in-ternational hit. Considered “too hot” by the established BBC Radio at the time, it was played by the pirate offshore station “Radio Caroline.” By the next year, Jones found himself opening for the Rolling Stones and playing alongside the Spencer Davis Group.• Jones` popularity began to slip somewhat by the middle of 1966. So he decided to change his image to a more respectable, mature tuxedoed crooner. Jones also began to sing material that appealed to a broad audience, like the country songs “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “De-troit City.” The strategy worked, as he returned to the top of the charts in the U.K. and began hitting the Top 40 again in the United States.• Jones was offered his own television show in the summer of 1969. A contract was drawn with ABC TV that was the larg-est ever between network and artist. The show’s location was split between London and Los Angeles, and it included an im-pressive guest list of virtually every major star of the day. • In the late 60s, Jones began to play in Las Vegas. Soon after, he began recording less, choosing to concentrate on his lucra-tive club performances. After his longtime manager died in the late 1970s, Jones’ son, Mark Woodward, became his man-ager.• In 1974, Jones moved to the United States, buying the mansion formerly be-longing to Dean Martin in Bel-Air, Los Angeles. There he lived with his wife of 50 years, Melinda.

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.

FIREWORKS!Compared to the big bangs of today, the first fireworks had humble beginnings. They were actually nothing more than green bamboo thrown into fires to scare spir-its away in ancient China.

• Believe it or not, in the 1400s, Florence, Italy, was the center of the fireworks industry. At the time, fireworks were just one effect in a celebration rather than its focus. At religious festivals, Italians made plaster figures that spewed fireworks from their eyes and mouths.• Fireworks were originally applied to warfare by attach-ing them to arrows. The first such use, in 1,200 A.D., involved placing powder into paper tubes attached to the arrows with a fuse or a trail of gunpowder wrapped in tissue paper.• The 1533 coronation parade for Anne Boleyn included a papier-mâché dragon that belched fire. • Fireworks became very popular in Great Britain dur-ing the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The great William Shakespeare mentions fireworks in his plays, and fire-works were so much enjoyed by the Queen herself that she created a “Fire Master of England.” King James II was so pleased with the fireworks display that celebrat-ed his coronation that he knighted his Fire Master.• The first fireworks recorded in America were set off by an Englishman, Captain John Smith. Smith, of course, gained fame in the story of Pocahontas.• The first Independence Day fireworks celebration was in 1776 and was memorialized by then future President John Adams as follows: “The day (Independence Day) will be the most memorable in the history of America. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this conti-nent to the other, from this day forward forevermore.”• During World War II, the first bomb dropped on Tokyo, Japan, was made by a fireworks company in the United States. At that time of national need, most fireworks companies changed to wartime production, as was also the case in World War I and the Civil War.• Fireworks central in the U.S.A.: New Castle, Pennsyl-vania, home to the nationally recognized display com-panies Zambelli Fireworks Internationale and Pyro-technico, proclaims itself to be the “Fireworks capital of America.” Rozzi’s Famous Fireworks of Loveland, Ohio, also began operations in New Castle, before moving its headquarters to the Cincinnati area.• The Zambellis are known as America’s “first family of fireworks.” Antonio Zambelli came to the United States from Italy and established Zambelli Fireworks Manufac-turing Company in 1893.• Workers who make firecrackers have to be sure to wear an ensemble that is entirely cotton so that the static electricity generated by their ordinary clothing will not set off the fireworks.

“X” MARKS THE SPOTDEAR PAW’S CORNER: A friend of mine told me that he trained his dog to go in a specific spot in his backyard by using a scented rock to mark the spot. How does that work, and where can I get this rock? -- Frank in West Roxbury, Mass.

DEAR FRANK: Your friend essentially trained his dog to identify a particular scent with a location that’s OK for him to eliminate. Using a focal point like the rock is pretty helpful when you’re trying to train your dog to do this. Hopefully the scent is unique enough that the dog won’t smell it elsewhere in or around his neighbor’s house!You can most likely find something like the scented rock (or a similar training tool) at a local pet store or online. Look under house training or basic obedience.Most dogs can be trained to use a specific spot, or several designated spots. It’s best if this training begins early in a dog’s life. If the dog is used to just running anywhere in the yard to do his business, disassociating him from this behavior is necessary and adds time to the process. You’ll also need to be absolutely disciplined yourself with this method -- taking the dog out at speci-fied times, daily, to that spot, until he completely associ-ates the area with elimination. Ultimately, you’ll want to be able to just let the dog out-side at that specified time and have him go on his own in that spot, although some dogs may never reach that point.The upside of this, of course, is that your lawn will re-main free of little surprises as well as yellowed spots on the grass. The extra benefit, however, is that you give your dog a little more “face time” as you work with him to use the designated spot, something that rewards both of you..
