WHEELS UP! (continued):• The largest “flying boat” ever built was the H-4 Hercules, better known as the “Spruce Goose.” Henry Kaiser, head of a large shipbuilding company, and Howard Hughes, a well-known businessman, movie producer, aeronautical engineer and aviator, joined forces to build flying transport planes capable of moving troops and supplies across the Atlantic for World War II efforts.

• The “Spruce Goose” was finished in 1947, two years too late to help the Allied forces in the war. Disappointed with the timing, Hughes (Kaiser had left the project) was determined to show that his plane was flight-worthy.

• Controversy over the amount of money spent on the “goose” led to a government investigation. Hughes ordered his team to prepare the plane for tests on his arrival back from the investigation. On November 2, 1947, with newsmen and others gathered, he glided the “Spruce Goose” across a three-mile stretch of the Long Beach, California, harbor. On the third taxi Hughes stunned the crowd as he lifted the seaplane off the water. On the only flight it ever made, it flew for a little over a mile (1.6 km) for about one minute at an altitude of 70 feet (21 m). He showed the skeptics that the big bird could fly.

• Hughes stored the “goose” in flight-ready condition in a custom-built hangar for 33 years at an annual cost of approximately $1 million. Where is it now? It is the “crown jewel” of the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

• Pan American’s order for 25 Boeing 747 airplanes on April 13, 1966, was the launch of the “jumbo jet” program that would make Boeing the aviation icon that it is today. Boeing purchased 780 acres (316 ha) of land in Everett, Washington, for the 747 production plant. The first 747 nose section was built at the Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas, and delivered to the Everett plant on November 21, 1967. The Boeing 747 is longer than the distance of the first flight made by the Wright Brothers! In fact, the first flight could have been

done within the coach class section of a 747-400.

• The Concorde is the fastest airliner to ever fly in regular revenue service. The top record-setting flight was by British Airways from London to New

York on February 7, 1996. The flight was completed in 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds.

• The first experimental flight of the Concorde was in 1969. The airliner was developed jointly by the French and British and flew in commercial service for Air France and British Airways for about 30 years. Following the airliner’s lone tragic crash in 2000 where 113 people were killed, service was resumed in 2001 and continued until 2003 when all Concordes were retired. In recognition of the Concorde’s service, British Airways timed the last three flights on July 24, 2003, to land within five minutes of each other at Heathrow Airport in London. Most of the planes are now at museums around the world.

• Do you know which U.S. city claims to be the “Aviation Capital of the World?” Wichita, Kansas. It has a history of aviation entrepreneurs including Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech and Clyde Cessna. The Kansas Aviation Museum showcases the city’s claim with the Wichita Flight Festival held every September.

• In 1929, Wichita had 11 airports, 100 aircraft-related businesses and 12 flying schools. About 2,000 people employed in the aircraft plants could produce 120 airplanes a week. Wichita was the main supplier of airplanes needed for World War II.

• According to an ABC news report on “Nightline” on May 5, 2010, U.S. passengers involved in airplane crashes in the last 30 years have had a 95.6-percent survival rate. Most recently this statistic was exemplified by the 2008 emergency landing of US Air Flight 1549 on New York’s Hudson River. The news media dubbed this event the “Miracle on the Hudson” because, remarkably, everyone survived. Statistically, flying is a very safe way to travel.

By Samantha Weaver

• It was American author and futurist Alvin Toffler who made the following sage observation: “Profits, like sausages, are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them.”

• In honor of October being National Pizza month, here are a few statistics: Approximately 3 billion pizzas are sold every year in the United States. Seventeen percent of all the restaurants in the country are pizzerias. If you’re like 93 percent of Americans, you eat at least one pizza every month. Pepperoni is the most popular topping, followed by sausage, mushrooms, onions and olives. And a Gallup poll found that kids between the ages of 3 and 11 would choose pizza over any other food for lunch or dinner.

• Are you a dipsomaniac? The root of the word is from the Greek “dipso,” meaning “thirst” -- and we’re all familiar with the “mania” part. “Dipsomaniac” is just a fancy name for a drunk.

• You may be surprised to learn that 43 percent of 6- to 9-year-old girls use lip gloss. Of course, if you’re a parent of a young girl, you may not be surprised at all.

• A newly married couple sued the upscale resort in Chile where they spent their honeymoon when a swim in the pool turned the bride’s waist-length blond hair green.

• The oldest known skis were found, perhaps unsurprisingly, in Scandinavia. The experts say the skis were made about 4,000 years ago.

• If you live in the state of Minnesota, you might want to keep in mind that it’s against the law to sleep with no clothes on.

MUSIC LEGEND:PERRY COMO

Born the seventh of 13 children to Italian immigrants from Palena, Italy, Perry Como operated his own barbershop while attending high school. His first career ambition was to be the best barber in his hometown of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

• Como, called “Mr. C” by many fans, was known for his rich baritone voice, easy-going casual style and, like “Mr. Rogers, cardigan sweaters. He once said, “I’ve done nothing that I can call exciting. I was a barber. Since then I’ve been a singer. That’s it.” Como’s demeanor was so relaxed that some thought he was too calm. One music critic wrote, “Nobody was so intensely relaxed.”

• Although he was considered a “heartthrob” to women, he was a wonderful family man who married his high school sweetheart, Roselle Beline in 1933. They had three children. She died two weeks after their 65th wedding anniversary in 1998. Como lived until 2001, dying six days before his 89th birthday. Shortly before his passing he became a great-grandfather.

• One of Como’s best known tunes was “And I Love you So.” Romantic ballads were his main focus, but he also had some fun and popular novelty hits, such as: “Pappa Loves Mambo;” “Catch a Falling Star (and put it in your pocket);” “Hubba, Hubba, Hubba;” and the great tune “Hot Diggity (dog ziggity boom).”

• Como got his first big break in 1933, while visiting Cleveland, Ohio. He was hired by Freddie Carlone’s band for about $25 per week. He took the job, even though he was earning more with his barbershop at the time. From the band, he moved on to become the vocalist for the Ted Weems Orchestra. That led to radio and then television.

• From 1948 until 1963 Como hosted television shows on NBC and CBS. These were “The Chesterfield Supper Club,” “The Perry Como Show” and “The Kraft Music Hall.” He won Emmy Awards for best variety show on television in 1954-56, 1958 and 1959.

• He hosted television Christmas specials from 1948 until his final in Dublin, Ireland, in 1993. The Dublin special

was also his final recording.

• Christmas albums were a big seller for Como. Even today his Christmas music is popular. In December 2006, five years after his death, his 1946 recording of “Jingle Bells” topped Billboard Magazine’s Hot Ringtones chart.

• Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, Como’s hometown, honored him with a life-size statue in 1999. At the unveiling of the statue, Mayor Daniel Caruso said, “Here’s a man who met the Pope and the President and the Queen Mother and is still the same Perry Como. There is nothing flamboyant about him; he treats everyone the same.” Mr. C, as he was called locally,

was unable to attend the ceremony due to illness, but four generations of his family were there. An inscription at the base says, “To this place God has brought me,” one of Como’s favorite sayings.

• Over Perry Como’s 60-plus-year career he sold more than 100 million records. He has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for radio, television and music.

• Como was the seventh son of a seventh son—considered a sign of good luck in Italian families. He sure had a good life, but his good fortunes should probably be attributed more to his decisions to live an honorable life rather than luck.

SHOE MUSEUMSShoes are essential to our wardrobes—at least for most people in modern society. They are made for comfort, health and fashion. But some have been ridiculed for their “need” for so many!

• Imelda Marcos, wife of the late dictator Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, was a story on all of the news networks when her shoe room was discovered. She apparently had over 1,500 pairs of very fashionable shoes, while most people in her country were extremely poor and in need. Once a 19th century rice mill, the Marikina Shoe Museum in the Philippines focuses on shoes, but really highlights the excesses of the Marcos’ dictatorial reign.

• The SONS Museum 46 miles (74 km) east of Brussels, Belgium, is a museum that shows shoes more as art than fashion. The acronym stands for “shoes or no shoes.” There are over 4,000 pairs

of shoes divided into three collections: Artist, Designer and Ethnographic. The displays show historical and cultural differences from the world over. The artist section has shoes collected from artists. Some sent the shoes they used while working.

• The Brockton Shoe Museum, south of Boston, claims to be “the only authentic shoe museum in America.” Shoemaking history from the 16th century to the present is shown, from Indian moccasins to popular shoes of today. A “Celebrity Footwear” exhibit showcases shoes worn by Rocky Marciano, Primo Carnera (1930’s Italian boxer who wore size 24!), Mamie Eisenhower and even a pair of President Clinton’s jogging shoes.• The 39,000-square-foot (3623 m2) Bata Shoe Museum in

Toronto is the world’s largest and houses more than 10,000 pairs of shoes in a stunning

four-story building. It was opened in 1995 by the family that started the Bata

Shoe Company. Sonja Bata, born and educated as an architect in

Switzerland, married Thomas J. Bata, son of a Czechoslovakian shoe manufacturer. Thomas had immigrated to Canada at the beginning of World War

II after the family business had been nationalized under

Communism. • After their marriage

in 1946, Sonja joined her husband in what

was to become a global business, rebuilding the family

company. She also collected shoes from all

over the world, and in 1979, the Bata Shoe Museum Foundation was established. In keeping the museum separate from commercialism, there are no Bata shoes displayed at the museum. Only 25 percent of the museum displays are semi-permanent. The other displays are constantly changing. The museum has many events to keep things interesting for locals as well as tourists.

• The Bata family’s great influence on shoes can also be seen at the Zlin Shoe Museum in the Czech Republic. Thomas Bata’s father Tomas was truly a visionary businessman who revolutionized the footwear industry in the town of Zlin in the 1890s. He used mass production techniques inspired by Henry Ford to produce quality shoes. The museum is housed in the former shoe factory, and it displays many original Bata shoes that made the town and the family what they are today.

• So whether you prefer sandals, loafers, stilettos or athletic shoes, we all owe our comfortable, fashionable footwear to the pioneers in the industry.

“The Byrds”Comes to Broward!

“The Byrds” rhyming comic strip is quickly becoming an icon for active senior citizens retiring to America’s sunny Southern states or planning to come down soon.

It depicts seniors … centered around the antics of Ben and Brenda Byrd ... active, sharp witted and with a happy attitude as they cavort and comment on the things that effect their lives. Golf! Boating! Early Bird Dining! Grand Kids, Social Security and more!

Always written in rhyme, every gag is a little literary gem in its own right. Each strip is a neat nugget of humor and insight worthy of the refrigerator door (clipped from a local newspaper) or emblazoned on a gift item that remains timeless. Items like T-Shirts, Tote Bags, Coffee Mugs, Greeting Cards, Poster Art and more!

After years of successful exposure on the Gulf side of The Sunshine State, “The Byrds” is making its debut here in Broward County. No longer just the favorite of golden-agers on Sanibel Island and points North or South of the Tampa Bay/Naples area, the arrival of this innovative comic feature will now be read in weekly newspapers in the Broward and Miami-Dade areas as well. It’s debut in Broward County will be celebrated locally at Hollywood’s Secret ... Boutique and Art Activity Center ... on October 15th.

There will be refreshments, wine and cheese, great live music and cartooning demonstrations by The Byrds creator, Gus St. Anthony. Early comers will have the opportunity to get a free caricature drawn of themselves as part of the demonstration. First come, first served.

Gus told us that the comic strip is about seniors, for seniors, written and drawn by a senior. “At the age of 72”, he said, “I wanted to develop a comic feature that represents seniors … active seniors … as vibrant, intelligent members of our society who still make a contribution to the world around them and can be funny while doing it.”

Hollywood’s Secret is located at 2115 Hollywood Blvd just East of Dixie Highway. The date is October 15th. Friday, and the fun begins at 6:30 PM.

Cash In on ClutterIf you know you’ll need extra cash for the holidays, consider this: There is cash in clutter. By beginning now to unload the clutter, you can accomplish two things: getting rid of extras that could be stifling you, and making a little extra money.

Where’s the clutter? It’s potentially everywhere.

Consider consigning clothing you haven’t worn in two years, and sell toys the children don’t play with anymore. Have you done a lot of “retail therapy” either in stores or at yard sales, bringing home knick-knacks you end up dusting every week? Old watches, musical instruments, iPods and mp3 players may have some value to someone else, especially for their parts. Sell duplicates of tools and stereo speakers.

If you have multiple computers, your old reject might be just the thing for someone else. The same goes for your older monitors and keyboards. If you’ve amassed a large collection of videos and DVDs (that no one ever watches anymore), sell them and clear up some space. The same goes for books and craft items or hobby supplies that looked appealing when you bought them.

If you have far too many inherited items that you’ve kept out of a sense of obligation, consider whether it’s time to let them go. For items that could be valuable, get an appraisal as to their worth.

The biggest clutter sign of all is if you rent a storage unit to hold the excesses of your life. If you’ve had that unit for more than six months and haven’t visited it, that’s a sure sign that you can live without the contents. Spend a few weekends going through the boxes you’ve stored to see what you can sell. Not only will you pocket the cash, but you might be able to downsize to a smaller unit if there are items you absolutely must store.

Even if you hire an online auction company to take care of the actual pricing, shipping and photography of your items, you’ll come out ahead without having spent the time to micromanage online bids.

If you end up giving items to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, you can still net a financial gain in the form of charitable tax deductions. Use a computer program called “It’s Deductible” to calculate the fair market value of what you donate.

Thought for the Day: “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” -- Oscar Wilde

NOW HERE’S A TIPBy JoAnn Derson

• “Before you wash a load of towels, dampen one and use it to wipe down the sides and top of your washer and dryer. Then just toss the towel in with the load. Also, keep a toothbrush close to give the fabric-softener reservoir a scrub, and rinse it in hot water often.” -- T.O. in Maryland

• Got kids and need a new sofa? Look for fabrics that clean up with soap and water. Upholstery that has subtle color changes or is woven or textured will hide stains; napped fabric and flat finishes show water spots and wear spots.

• For wood floors, make sure you dust-mop regularly. Dirt can scratch up your floors. Use a mop with a head that can be popped into the washer, and do so regularly.

• “My children love to read, and if they had it their way, they would have hundreds of books. To keep their interest in reading hot, we use the library, but we also patronize a local used-book store. They can search the stacks to find favorite authors and subjects, and they turn in books to get credit toward new ones. If they love a book at the library, try to find one at the bookstore to keep.” -- A.C. in Florida

• Great advice that will save you money: Lower the temperature of your water heater to 105 F. It’s hot enough for washing, but not hot enough to scald a small child or sensitive skin.

• “Ever since we installed shaker pegs in the kids’ bathroom, the towels get hung up regularly. I think they used to have trouble putting the towels on the bar, and it’s easier this way.” -- E.S. in Oregon

Humane Society Events The Humane Society of Broward County is a private, non-profit organization supported by donations from companies and people who want to help us help the homeless animals. For more information call 954-989-3977 or visit our website at www.humanebroward.com to see pets available for adoption, make a donation or find out about upcoming events.

Blessing of the Animals Join us for a Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 10th from 3pm until 4pm. The Humane Society of Broward County invites pet parents to bring their special furry friends for a Blessing of the Animals, in recognition of the Feast of St. Francis, the patron saint of animals. The Franciscan Friars of the St. Francis Friary will perform the Blessing. The Blessing will be held on the east lawn at the Humane Society, which is located at 2070 Griffin Road, just a block west of 1-95. Pets of all kinds are welcome, but please be sure to have your pet in a secure carrier or on a leash. For more information, please call 954-266-6848 or 954-731-8173 (no need to R.S.V.P.)

Unplanned Pregnancy? Did your dog or cat have an unplanned litter and you don’t know what to do? The babies are getting bigger and you can’t find homes? If you surrender a litter of puppies or kittens to the Humane Society of Broward County, the shelter will spay and neuter all the pets in your household for just $10.00 each. That way your pet won’t be having any more babies and she can live a healthier life. Once the puppies and kittens are evaluated at the shelter they will be placed up for adoption. Adoption counselors interview potential new homes and the pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and given a microchip before they go home; that way they will not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem. The Humane Society of Broward County is conveniently located at 2070 Griffin Road, just a block west of 1-95. Receiving hours are Monday - Saturday 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. and

Sunday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. The shelter is a private, non-profit organization supported by donations from companies and people who want to help us help the homeless animals. For more information call 954-989-3977 or visit our website at www.humanebroward.com to see pets available for adoption, make a donation or find out about upcoming events.

What Are ‘significant’ lapses of Memory?

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My mother is 69 and has, during the past few years, shown signs of memory problems. In the span of 20 minutes, she might ask the same question several times. She has trouble following the flow of conversation. I am concerned she might be forgetting her medicines. I called her physician and was told that until she forgets what things like toasters are used for, there is no real concern. Isn’t early intervention a key to treating Alzheimer’s? -- M.K.

ANSWER: With age, it takes more time to retrieve information from the memory than it does in youth. That’s normal. It’s also normal for older people, given a sufficient amount of time, to recall the events of the preceding day or of special occasions. They might, on occasion, find it difficult to come up with a particular word, but they should be able to continue to perform tasks like balancing a checkbook. They might misplace things, as we all do. However, they can institute a search in an orderly and methodical way.

It’s not normal to forget an entire event even when they are given promptings of what has happened. Misplacing things because the things have been put in strange places isn’t normal. An example is putting the car keys in the refrigerator.

Neurologists, geriatricians (doctors who specialize in the treatment of the elderly), psychiatrists and psychologists administer tests that more precisely reflect a person’s memory and thinking capabilities. Having your mother tested isn’t a bad idea, and she should not take offense at the suggestion.

Four medicines constitute the bulk of prescriptions written for Alzheimer’s disease. They are Aricept, Razadyne, Exelon and Namenda. The first three are usually prescribed for the early stages of this illness. None is a cure. They can slow its progression. Dozens of new medicines are currently under investigation.

******Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever

possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

TIP: When assembling the sandwiches, some ice cream likely will drip down and freeze onto the cookie sheet. If you line the pan with parchment, removing the sandwiches should be a cinch.
