TIDBITS® TELLS TIME

by Janet SpencerOn March 31, 1918, Daylight Saving Time went into effect – briefly – for the first time in history. Come along with Tidbits as we remember this historic event by trying to figure out what the heck time it is anyway.MASS CLOCK CONFUSION • In the good old days, the time of day varied by one minute for every 13 miles (21 km) traveled east to west. Noon was whenever the sun was overhead any particular town. Cities only a few hundred miles apart had times that were quite different. This didn’t matter much when people rarely traveled more than a few miles from home. But when railroads started transporting people long distances, things got complicated. It made scheduling trains hard. • When it was noon in Chicago, it was 12:31 in Pittsburgh, 12:17 in Toledo; 11:50 in St. Louis; 11:39 in St. Paul; and 11:27 in Omaha. The train station in Pittsburgh had six clocks showing six local times. Wisconsin had 38 different time zones, all within the same state. Railroads had nearly 300 time zones across the nation. It was difficult to prevent trains from crashing with so much confusion. • A Connecticut man named Charles Dowd suggested the solution. Because there are 24 hours in a day, he divided the Earth’s 360 de-grees by 24, creating 24 time zones separated by 15 degrees. (cont’d next page)

CLOCK CONFUSION, cont’d • Charles Dowd took his time zone plan to a convention of railway superintendents meet-ing in New York City in 1869. They spent the next 13 years thinking it over. • Finally, at a convention in 1882, the Stan-dard Time system was adopted by the railroads. This divided the U.S. into four time zones: East-ern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific which were divided by the 75th, 90th, 105th, and 120th me-ridians. At noon on Sunday, November 18, 1883 – a day that became known as “the day with two noons” - the railroads set their clocks to this sys-tem. • This was only an agreement among the railroads, but people all over the world recog-nized the beauty of the system. Leaders from about 25 different nations met in Washington, D.C. on October 13, 1884 at the International Meridian Conference where it was agreed that the longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England, would be the “prime meridian”- zero degrees longitude - and the time would change by one hour for each 15 degrees traveled from that point, known as Greenwich Mean Time. Still, it took Congress years to get around to making the Standard Time Act a matter of American law, on March 19, 1918 — a move they made in con-junction with passing the first Daylight Saving Time, enacted on March 31.DAYLIGHT SAVING • Ben Franklin was the first person to sug-gest that setting clocks ahead in the spring and behind in the fall would be a wise idea because it would save expensive candles. The thought wasn’t taken seriously until 1907 when a British man named William Willert was riding through the countryside early one morning and noticed that in spite of the full daylight, all the curtains were drawn in the cottages, indicating their oc-cupants were still sound asleep because the clock said it was too early to get up in the morning. (cont’d)

EVENT CALENDAR DAYLIGHT SAVING (cont’d) • Willert wrote a pamphlet suggesting Britain set its clocks ahead in April, and behind in October. A bill introduced in Parliament in 1909 was ridiculed. However, World War I brought a dire need to conserve coal, and the “British Sum-mer Time Act” was passed in 1916, one year af-ter Willert died. It set the clocks ahead one hour in spring and back one hour in fall. The idea worked so well that Britain put its clocks ahead two full hours during the summers of World War II. • The U.S. followed suit and Daylight Saving Time was enacted for the first time in March of 1918 to conserve fuel for the war ef-fort. It proved to be so unpopular, however, that it was repealed in 1919. It was reinstated during World War II. After the war, some places contin-ued observing it and some didn’t. Those locali-ties that did continue to observe Daylight Saving were not agreed as to which date to set the clocks forward and back again. This caused confusion among the broadcast industries, railroads, bus lines, and airlines. On a single 35-mile stretch of highway between West Virginia and Ohio, a traveler went through seven time changes. • The transportation industry, led by Greyhound, lobbied hard to remedy the situa-tion, and in 1966 Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. This law did not make Daylight Sav-ing Time mandatory, but merely said that indi-vidual states needed to observe it (or not) on a uniform basis and all on the same date. • Daylight Saving Time is now observed in about 70 countries around the world. Note that it’s singular rather than plural—it’s not Day-light Savings Time, but Daylight Saving Time. A study done by the U.S. Department of Transpor-tation estimated that our nation saves about 1% of its energy for every day DST is in effect. And maybe that makes it worth the effort for Ameri-cans to change three billion time pieces twice every year.

Tidbits® of Dallas County www.tidbitscda.com Page 4IT’S A FACT • There are only three states and one Canadian province that have exempted them-selves from Daylight Saving Time. In Hawaii, the length of the days doesn’t change as much as it does on the continent so DST isn’t needed. In Arizona, most of the state does not follow DST with the exception of the Navajo Reservation which does, except for the Hopi Partitioned Land which lies inside the Navajo Reservation, which doesn’t. Things are especially confusing in In-diana where some parts of the state follow DST and some parts do not. To further confuse the issue, some parts of Indiana are on Eastern Stan-dard Time and other parts on Central Standard Time. Saskatchewan also opts out of Daylight Saving because, although they are located in the area for Mountain Standard Time, they observe Central Standard Time, effectively meaning they are on Daylight Saving all year long anyway.WHY ARE THERE 12 HOURS? • The mathematical system of the Sum-erians was based on the number 12 just like ours is based on the number 10. Twelve was consid-ered magical because it is the lowest number with the greatest number of divisors. Multiples of the number 12 were also considered notable, especially 60 which can be divided by ten other numbers. The number 360 was also special, since they operated on a 360-day calendar. (That’s why there are 360 degrees in a compass instead of 365.) The Sumerian’s system of weights and measures was based on the number 12, as was their money. And it was the Sumerians who first divided the day into 12 parts, with each segment equal to two of our hours. • Later the Egyptians divided the day into 24 segments instead of 12. And the Babylonians are responsible for our current system of having 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a min-ute.

2014 North Idaho Veteran Stand Down The 2014 North Idaho Veterans Stand Down will take place this year on May 10th Fair-grounds from 8-2pm. The event is held annually to provide services to homeless and disadvan-taged veterans in the Coeur d’ Alene and the surrounding communities. Veterans come from as far as Seattle and many locations in Montana for the one day event. The event is sponsored by St. Vincent de Paul, The American Legion Post 143, The United Way of Kootenai County and The US Department of Veterans Affairs. The event provides an opportunity for veterans to receive services from organizations who provide medical, dental, counseling, hous-ing, clothing and food assistance. This year we will also have Lakewood Animal Hospital on site to provide free examinations and pet care. Diana Clark from Organic Stylist will be at the event to do to haircuts and Bob Pearson will be on site as well to perform bike repair and minor tune ups. This will be the 21stto assist veterans and their families with needed services through-out the year. Volunteers are still needed; anyone interested in volunteering should register online at kootenaiunitedway.org. If interested in donat-ing to the event checks may be made out to the North Idaho Veterans Stand Down and mailed to St. Vincent de Paul. All donations are tax de-ductible and one hundred percent of funds raised help us provide assistance to veterans through-out the year.

PAW’S CORNERBy Sam Mazzotta

Burberry is looking for his forever home! His a Poodle/Cocker Spaniel very friendly fixed 3 year old male.

15lbs Quiet and calm! to cuddle.

Looking for a home

Happy TrailsDEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 18-month-old Lab mix, “Sadie,” is old enough to go camping and hiking with me, but my two usual hiking bud-dies aren’t sure. They say we won’t be allowed to hike many trails with her, and that she’ll be a distraction on trips. What do you think? -- Bill in Franklin, Tenn.

DEAR BILL: Bringing your dog along on camp-ing and hiking trips does take extra preparation and planning, but it can be a blast and an im-portant experience for Sadie. If it’s important to you, make the case with your friends to bring Sadie along. While many city, state or national parks don’t allow pets, a large number do allow them, with restrictions that vary depending on the park. Go online and look up the areas you want to visit this year for their rules regarding pets, or call the park directly. List parks that ab-solutely don’t allow dogs versus those that do allow them. If your friends won’t budge about Sadie, it doesn’t have to absolutely be your dog versus them. Plan some outings with your friends, and some outings with Sadie. If you want to camp or hike with a group, plan that with others who are open to bringing Sadie along. If you don’t know anyone, look for dog-friendly hiking groups on Meetup.com or at the local camping-supply store’s message board. With that said, remember that Sadie needs to be well-behaved and socialized before taking her camping. Conduct obedience train-ing daily and make sure she responds to your commands promptly. You need to be able to call her back from potentially dangerous situations while out hiking. Learn more about training Sa-die and packing for your dog at REI’s website.

Why Not Stop Pain? The American Pain Foundation reports that more than 80 million Americans suffer from pain related conditions. Why should we not do everything we can to resolve this? The most prevalent are neck and back pain, pain from arthritis and other joint, bone or mus-cular disorders, post-surgical problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, digestive distress (such as IBS, colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc.) – the list goes on. The typical remedy is to suppress pain using medications which cover up the problem. In some cases the pain is intractable because of the nature of the injury, but many times alleviation of the causative factor is more appropriate. In other words, if you have discomfort due to heartburn or reflux or pain from more serious digestive disorders, it would be more appropriate to correct the reason WHY you have a digestive challenge rather than cover it up with acid stopping medications or corticosteroids. Many people don’t realize this is possible because they see their conventional doctor, not realizing they are trained to manage their health crisis, not to heal their disease. Seeking the services of a natural health care provider such as an acupuncturist, who is trained to seek resolution of the health condition generally brings the desired results for those wishing to avoid or lessen medication usage. Acupuncture has been studied extensively for its use in helping painful and inflammatory conditions. Stimulating centers in the brain and hormones from glands that secrete the anti-inflam-matory hormones, the body is able to use its own inherent system we are born with to handle the injury or functional issues. Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years because it works. It’s been tried and true. The body was given to us with the ability to manage inflammation (in fact, inflammation is an integral part of the repair mechanism) through a complex cascade of chemical events. If it is not doing that we need to ask “why not” – then address the ‘why not’. This holds true for the pain-suppressing chemicals as well. If your body is not healing properly, ‘why not’? If an organ system is not doing its job, ‘why not’? True health comes when the ‘why nots?’ are addressed, rather than covered up. Why not seek the services of a professional trained and skilled in handling the ‘why nots’ of the body. This is the time to enjoy life without pain dictating the quality of it. You don’t have to suffer!

REAL ESTATE TALK Current market conditions show an in-crease in property sales this week. Statistics show that 46 properties were sold last week. Clearing out old listings, with 25 of the prop-erties sold had been on the market more than 120 days. In addition to the sold properties 371 properties received accepted offers for purchase.This leaves over 1400 single family homes still available to buyers for purchase. This week in Real Estate the buzz is in regard to appraisals, property values and buyer options.The buyer's lender puts an appraisal request into the system where an available certified apprais-er accepts the task. Lenders nor Realtors are al-lowed to influence the value of the home. The appraiser is required to follow strict guidelines to provide a true and unbiased property value which reflects the current market values. If an appraisal value does not seem ad-equate to the lender, realtor, or buyer; the value may be challanged by the Realtor and or lender by submitting additional comps for the appraiser to consider or they may request for further de-tail or explanation of the appraisers conclusion. The communication between the appraiser and lender can not unduly influence the outcome of the appraisal. To safeguard this, the loan officer approving the loan for the buyer is not the same loan officer whom can discuss the appraisal with the appraiser. "From Beginning To End, Realtor & Friend"

Q: Will neutering my male cat stop him from spraying? A:To help prevent spraying, roaming and aggressive behav-ior, it is best to neuter males be-fore they start spraying or mark-ing at about 5 five months old which is puberty.

But it may also help even if a cat has started spraying. It usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks for the hormones to subside after the neutering.

Neutering also extends a cat's life by 3 to 5 years and prevents 99% of reproductive system problems.

For the health of your pet and to help prevent future homeless cats and dogs,

Spay/Neuter for a Brighter Future.

Less is MoreOver the past 30 years, with millions of statin drugs (cholesterol-lowering), lowering of cholesterol, power-ful, toxic heart drugs, endless interventional cardiac procedures including angiograms, stents, balloon angio-plasties, heart bypass, ablation, and more, heart disease has not decreased - it has increased. But, now, over the last 5-8 years, something else is happening. The growth of heart dis-ease and deaths from heart disease have

slowed. During this time, a multitude of books and articles have been published reporting the statistics of overtreatment. Overtreatment is described as medical interventions, diagnostics, or treatments that do no good but almost always cause harm. Medicine is filled with overtreat-ments, especially in the world of cardiology and oncology.

But over these last 5-8 yrs, cardiologists have performed fewer diagnostic and therapeutic procedures! Due, perhaps, to the truth being told about the risks of overtreatment. And some doctors now have begun to think out-of-the-box, addressing lifestyle in the prevention and treatment of heart disease. They are chang-ing and questioning, and recognizing that add-ing more drugs rarely improves the outcome. That statin drugs are not really that helpful. That heart patients encounter extreme risk from both the disease and the medical treatments. And that endless powerful drugs, heart valve surgery, stents, bypasses, etc, are not needed by all heart patients, but rather may be considered.Most doctors, however, will not do so, and will stick with the standard protocols of drug, statin, drug, surgery, more surgery, and so on, until you're dying and receive the edict, "we have done everything we can."Questions your doctor. Question every drug, every procedure, every surgery. Is there an-other way?Imagine how much better your health would be with the proper nutritional care for your heart and entire body, instituting proper supplementa-tion, whole foods, good oils, fewer carbs. And exercise - our bodies need movement. Next week we'll talk about which supplements can help with cardiac health.

Prescription Drugs by Mail From the VA You can get your prescription drugs from the Department of Veterans Affairs by mail. That’s good ... and bad. The good news: A recent study by J.D. Powers gives the VA outpatient pharmacy the highest score for customer satisfaction. The VA scored 871 out of 1,000 points for pricing, order process and customer service. The VA also made the top scores in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Clearly, getting your medications from the VA’s mail-order services can be a positive experience.But not always.The bad news: Your order isn’t as secure as step-ping down the street to your local pharmacy or picking up your drugs right at the VA. A UPS driver in Maine is going to jail for taking oxycodone drugs sent from the VA’s mail order program. A fast search of Google found far too many cases of veterans’ mailed drugs being stolen around the country. In one case, a postal worker was both stealing and selling the drugs on the mail route. In Chattanooga, Tenn., a postal worker who also is a veteran on medication said his drugs, sent monthly, had been disappearing right out of the post office where he works. In Indianapolis, a postal worker was nabbed for taking drugs out of 17 packages in the VA mail-order program. In another case, a 24-year em-ployee of the post office stole more than 2,000 pills destined for veterans. The Maine UPS driver was caught, liter-ally, blue-handed. Authorities had put a blue dye pack in the package, which exploded in his face when he opened it. He was taking the drugs when agents came through the door. If you get your medications by mail, you can now track them. Go online to MyHealtheVet web portal. Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to [email protected].

• It was nonviolent Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi who made the following sage observa-tion: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

• It was long believed that a single piece of paper couldn’t be folded more than seven times, but in 2002, high-schooler Britney Gallivan disproved that notion. She ordered a 4,000-foot-long roll of toilet paper and, along with her family, headed to a shopping mall to try to break the seven-fold limit. After seven hours, she and her family had succeeded in folding the paper 12 times, putting an end to the myth.

• Ancient Mayan warriors were known to throw hornets’ nests at each other in battle.

• At some point you’ve almost certainly heard a coward described as “lily-livered,” but did you ever wonder where that expression came from? It was once believed that the seat of courage in the human body was the liver; therefore, some-one who was timid presumably lacked blood in the liver, causing that organ to become white.

• If you’re like the average American, you spend 38 hours in traffic every year. If you live in Chicago, you’re stuck for 46 hours. If you’re unlucky enough to be driving in Los Angeles, you’ll be at the mercy of traffic for a whopping 72 hours every year.

Dear Auntie M.,

Please send your questions or comments to [email protected]. I shall be

frank and honest with my response and pro-vide resources where appropriate.

I have a neighbor who recently spent time in hospital. When a cab brought her home I was outside and she asked if I could pick up some things for her. When I delivered the items I almost had a panic attack. The door was unlocked but I could arely push it open. Once inside I had to follow a ‘trail’ to her bedroom. Oh my gosh! It’s like a garbage dump. I’m surprised she was able to find the phone and call for help. She apologized for the mess and said that she was going through things. Huh? She told me her health is failing and I fear for her. I offered to give her a hand but she refused. Do I have to report how she’s living. What can be done to help her?In Disbelief in DaltonDear In Disbelief,Your neighbor sounds like she has compulsive hoarding disorder. Hoarding is difficult to treat. First she must admit she has a problem and then be willing to let go and clean up. Your offer of help is kind but is unlikely to be accepted. Hoarding does threaten the life and safety of the hoarder, but it is not against the law. Hoarding, or ‘collecting’ as those who are organized call it, is her choice. While still considered in her ‘right mind’ she decides how and in what condition she lives. It is no one’s busi-ness how she chooses to live. You don’t mention family or friends. They have probably given up trying to help her. Her health issues will eventually force her into a different living arrangement. You sound like a good neighbor, but she needs to ask for help before anyone can step in and help her. That’s the law.
