TIDBITS® SENDS BIRTHDAY WISHES TO

MAY BABIESby Kathy Wolfe

Tidbits is taking a look at some familiar folks born during the month of May. Follow along as we take a brief glimpse into their lives. • • Sally Ride, the fi rst American woman to

go up in space, saw an ad in the news-paper seeking applicants for the space program and along with 8,000 others, an-swered the inquiry. At age 28, this young woman with a Ph.D. in physics joined NASA. In 1983, her fi rst memorable fl ight was taken aboard the Space Shuttle Chal-lenger. A second fl ight followed in 1984, and she was preparing for her third when the Challenger disaster occurred. She left NASA in 1987 and is currently on leave from her professorship of physics at the University of California and directorship of the California Space Institute.

• • May baby Priscilla Beaulieu (born Pris-cilla Wagner) was just 14 years old in 1959 when she was introduced to Elvis Presley in Germany. Her stepfather, a U.S. Air Force offi cer, was stationed there, as was Presley, and a young Air Force re-cruit introduced the pair. Elvis returned to the states the following spring but stayed in contact with Priscilla via phone for the next two years. When she turned 21, he married her at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Ve-gas. Six and a half years later, they were divorced.

• • You may remember South African run-ner Zola Budd who, at age 17, broke the women’s 5000 meter world record. She was especially noted for the fact that she ran barefoot. While competing at the 1984 Olympics in the 3000-meter race, Budd had three collisions with U.S. runner Mary Decker, with Decker falling, injuring her hip and withdrawing from the race. An in-ternational athletic jury found Budd inno-cent of any wrongdoing in the incident.

• • Not too many music fans are familiar with the name Eithne Patricia Ní Bhraonáin,

neighbor and fellow fan began calling him Bing and the nickname stuck. Crosby had his fi rst No. 1 hit at age 25. His success continued as 10 of 1931’s top 50 songs featured his voice, either solo or with oth-ers. He made 1,700 recordings, and 383 made the Top 30, and 41 were No. 1 on the charts. Known as an avid golfer, he was also part owner of baseball’s Pitts-burgh Pirates.

• • Little did Ken Jennings know when he stepped onto the set of the game show “Jeopardy!” on June 2, 2004, that he would be appearing in 75 episodes and set a record for the longest winning streak on the popular program. During his ten-ure as champion, the Utah software en-gineer earned $2,520,700, plus $2,000 for second place on the day of his defeat and another $500,000 prize during the program’s Ultimate Tournament of Cham-pions. Barbara Walters featured Jennings on her 2004 ABC News Special “The Ten Most Fascinating People of 2004.” In ad-dition, Jennings chronicled his success in a 2006 book “Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs.”

• • At age 24, Tina Fey became a writer at NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” and by 29, she was the head writer. The next year she joined the cast, where she remained six years until 2006. She is the creator of the TV series “30 Rock” and is the winner of seven Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes. Her daughter was born in 2005, and she returned to work just one month later, saying, “NBC has me under con-tract. The baby and I only have a verbal agreement.”

• • Clint Eastwood turns 81 this May and seems to have no intention or retiring. He spent his early years in a series of jobs, including lifeguard, grocery clerk, forest fi refi ghter and golf caddy. He was almost 30 before the turn in his career came along with the role of Rowdy Yates in tele-vision’s “Rawhide,” a character he would play for the next six years. After starring in a string of Western movies, he moved on to the “Dirty Harry” fi lms. When Sean Connery left the role of James Bond, it was offered to Eastwood, but he declined, stating that Bond should be played by a British actor. Eastwood has had a lifelong love of music and the piano and has com-posed the music for many of his fi lms.

• • The family of Henry Kissinger fl ed the persecution of Nazi Germany in 1938 and moved to New York when he was 15. After serving in the U.S. Army for three years (where he was a Bronze Star re-cipient), he went on to Harvard University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1954. For the next 15 years, he was a member of Harvard’s faculty before entering the political world, serving as the U.S. Secretary of State un-der Presidents Nixon and Ford.

but millions have heard the music of Enya. Enya Brennan is an Anglicized approxima-tion of how this Irish singer’s name is pro-nounced in her native Donegal dialect. As of 2009, her album sales stood at over 70 million. This multi-talented musician per-forms all the instruments and vocals in the majority of her songs and has sung in 10 different languages in her recordings. Her vocals are layered up to 80 times during recording to achieve her distinctive sound. If you’ve seen the movie “Fellowship of the Ring,” you’ve heard her composition “May It Be,” the fi lm’s theme, a song for which she received an Oscar nomination. She is Ireland’s second-biggest musical artist.

• • If Enya is No. 2 in Ireland, who’s number one? That honor belongs to another May baby, Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono. Rolling Stone has ranked him as the 32nd greatest singer of all time, and his band U2 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Back in 1978, while still in high school, Hewson answered a note on the school bulletin board seeking musicians for a rock band that was written by drummer Larry Mullin, and U2 was born. As to why he is rarely seen without sunglasses, Bono states that his eyes are very sensitive to light and swell up and turn red. But that’s not the whole story. In his words: “It’s part vanity, it’s part privacy and part sensitivity.”

• • Who hasn’t heard Bing Crosby croon “White Christmas” in his distinctive bass-baritone voice? Born in May, 1903, Crosby was a descendant of Mayfl ower passenger and Pilgrim spiritual leader William Brews-ter. At age six, Harry Lillis Crosby became a fan of “The Bingville Bugle,” a column in the Sunday edition of Spokane, Washing-ton’s Spokesman-Review. A 15-year-old

PAW’S CORNERBy Sam Mazzotta

Oxygen Hose Is No Chew Toy

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a 2-year-old cat, “Annie,” who loves to chew on anything plastic -- particularly my wife’s oxygen hose. How can I stop her from doing this? It gets costly. -- Dave F., via email

DEAR DAVE: It’s not just costly in terms of replacing medical equipment, there’s also the risk of Annie having to endure a costly surgery to remove bits of plastic lodged in her digestive tract. However, it can be tough to break a cat of certain habits, and many cats love to gnaw at certain textures and shapes. If possible, you or your wife should come up with ways to move the oxygen hose (or hoses) out of Annie’s reach, either by attaching to the chair with a strip or two of medical tape or, if carrying oxygen around, by looping the excess length of hose around the top of the tank or over one’s shoulder.Another method to consider is spraying the exposed length of hose with a cat repellent. Several types are available at pet stores and are used to deter cats from clawing or gnawing things like furniture or other fascinating protuber-ances. In either case, constant vigilance is still required, as Annie will continue to try to bite the hose if she can get close enough (despite the presence of any stinky spray). When she makes a move toward the hose, distract her with a toy or by calling her. Or, by gently picking her up and placing her in another part of the room, ideally facing a favorite toy or scratching post on which she can take out her energy.

¥ On May 9, 1671, Thomas Blood, an Irish adventurer better known as "Cap-tain Blood," is captured attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from Charles II of England in the Tower of London. Charles was so impressed with Blood's audacity that, far from punishing him, he made him a member of his court with an annual pension.

¥ On May 14, 1914, Washington Sena-tors pitcher Walter "Big Train" Johnson throws his 54th consecutive scoreless inning, against the St. Louis Browns in Sportsman Park III. Johnson broke a 53-inning record set in 1910 by Jack Coombs of the Philadelphia Athletics.

¥ On May 11, 1934, a massive dust storm sends 350 million tons of topsoil fl ying from across the parched Great Plains as far east as New York, Bos-ton and Atlanta. Even ships some 300 miles offshore saw dust collect on their decks.

¥ On May 12, 1949, an early crisis of the Cold War comes to an end when the Soviet Union lifts its 11-month blockade against West Berlin. The blockade had been broken by a mas-sive U.S.-British airlift of 278,288 relief missions to the city, resulting in the delivery of 2,326,406 tons of supplies.

¥ On May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper is launched into space aboard Faith 7 on the longest American space mission to date. Cooper completed 22 orbits of the Earth and spent 34 hours in space.

¥ On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II is shot and wounded at St. Peter's Square in Rome. Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca, an escaped fugitive already convicted of a previous murder, fi red several shots at the religious lead-er. Agca was immediately captured. After a two-day trial, he was sentenced to life in prison.

¥ On May 10, 1990, the government of the People's Republic of China an-nounces that it is releasing 211 people arrested during the massive protests held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in June 1989. Most observers viewed the prisoner release as an attempt by the communist government of China to dispel much of the terrible publicity it received for its brutal suppression of the 1989 protests.

Light SwitchQ: Lately when I turn on the light switch in the bedroom, the switch goes up but then drops loosely down to the halfway position. Why is the switch doing this? -- Jacob C., Cleveland

A: The switch is broken and must be re-placed. There’s no fi xing it, but the part is not expensive. Replacing a switch isn’t an especially diffi cult task, but if you’re at all uncertain about doing it or totally inexperi-enced with electrical tasks, have an experi-enced friend replace the switch, or hire an electrician.If you’re determined to do it yourself, great. You’ll need a standard screwdriver and needle-nosed pliers, and keep a wire cutter/stripper nearby in case it’s needed. A volt-age tester (or multimeter) is important to make sure no electricity is coursing through the circuit during the replacement job. You’ll also want to purchase the replacement switch. Turn off the circuit that controls the switch. The best way is to leave the light on and have a helper call out when you’ve switched off the correct circuit at the box. (Now is also a good time to label that circuit for the next time you need to switch it off.) To make absolutely sure that no power is reaching the switch, take the face plate off and use your voltage tester by placing one sensor tip against one of the two screws on the side of the light switch (you’ll see a wire attached to each) and then placing the other sensor tip against the second screw. If the tester does not light up, electricity is not fl owing to the switch; if it does light up, electricity is still fl owing and you should not start the repair until the problem is remedied.Once the power is off, gently remove the switch from its mounting brackets by un-screwing the top and bottom screws of the bracket and easing it out. Locate the wiring connections on the side of the switch, tak-ing special note of where the wires go. The “hot” wire (the one through which electrical current fl ows) is usually black or red in color, while the neutral wire is usually white (but sometimes blue or green). Loosen the con-necting screws and detach the wires, using the needle-nose pliers. At this point, check the condition of the wires. If the exposed copper ends are frayed and there is a little wire to spare, consider trimming the old wire end and strip-ping insulation to expose the same length of twisted copper (just enough to hook around the screw). Attach the new switch, being sure to hook up the wires in exactly the same confi gu-ration. Tighten the screws and then ease the switch into its bracket and replace the mounting screws. Attach the faceplate.Test your work by turning the circuit back on and fl ipping the switch.

HOME TIP: Stay safe when doing electri-cal work. Never start a repair if you’re not certain the power is off, and have a helper nearby in case of emergency. If you’re not

• ¥ It was Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein who made the following sage observation: “If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.”

• ¥ Much like farmers of today, ancient Egyptians who worked the land worried about a variety of animals that could destroy their crops: locusts, sparrows, mice and worms. Unlike the typical Mid-westerner of today, though, they also had to worry about hippopotamuses.

• ¥ The fi erce Apache warrior we know today as Geronimo was not originally so named. His given name was Goyahkla, which means “one who yawns.”

• ¥ We’ve all seen pictures of African women carrying heavy loads -- up to 75 pounds in some cases -- balanced securely on their heads. But you might not realize that these women can carry more, relative to body size, more effi -ciently than pack mules.

• ¥ As the end of the school year ap-proaches, this might be a good time to remember that it was Americans who came up with the idea of summer camp.

• ¥ The name of the country of Iraq is derived from the Arabic word meaning “origin.”

• ¥ If you’ve ever watched the closing credits of a fi lm (and are not yourself in-volved in the movie industry), you might be wondering about some of the titles you’ve seen, so here’s a quick rundown: The gaffer is the chief electrician on the project; the key grip puts together and takes down sets, as well as lighting and laying the track on which the cameras move; and the best boy assists the gaf-fer and the key grip.

• Thought for the Day: “Anti-intellectu-alism has been a constant thread wind-ing its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion hat mocracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” -- Isaac Asimov

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.

Lactose IntoleranceDEAR DR. DONOHUE: I hope you will discuss lactose intolerance. I am 60 and just developed it. -- J.B.

ANSWER: Lactose is milk sugar. In our digestive tracts is an enzyme -- lactase -- that digests milk sugar. People with too little of the lactase enzyme have trouble when they drink or eat dairy products. Milk sugar doesn’t break down. The undigested sugar leads to gas production, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Medical tests can confi rm the dearth of the lactase enzyme. Standard treat-ment of lactose intolerance (also called lactase defi ciency) is avoidance of dairy products. Most cheeses have little lactose, so they can be eaten. Yogurt made from live cultures is usually toler-ated. Furthermore, many dairy products can be pretreated with lactase, and people with the intol-erance are not bothered by such products. The lactase enzyme comes in pill and liquid forms. It can be added to milk or taken by mouth before eating or drinking dairy products.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How do I get a doctor to correct or change his written report? Twice in my 77 years I have pointed out incorrect statements in their records. Each time I was told they could not change anything once it appears in their written report.There must be a way to correct an error, especially before sending the report to other doctors. Do you have any suggestions? -- G.J.

ANSWER: I do have a suggestion. The doctors are afraid of changing information because such changes can be damaging to them if the records are required in any legal proceedings. However, they can make a current note in the chart, explaining how previous information in the record was not correct. That’s not going to get them into any trouble. It seems to me that not doing so would get them into trouble. If the doctors balk at this, ask them to talk to a lawyer. Tell them you are preparing a document that states what the correction should be and that you will send it to any doctor to whom your current doctor sends your records. That should motivate your doctor to act.***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.
