TIDBITS® REMEMBERSOLD-TIME CANDY

by Kathy WolfeWhat was your favorite candy when you were growing up? Take a nostalgic look back at the history behind some of the early varieties you may have enjoyed, many of them long gone but not forgotten.• The first candy to combine milk chocolate,

marshmallow, peanuts and caramel was the Goo Goo Cluster, introduced in 1913 and sold unwrapped from large glass candy jars in the drug store. When a regular customer mentioned that the candy was “So good, people will ask for it from birth,” the creator named his confection after the first sounds made by his newborn son, “Goo Goo!”

• The invention of America’s first candy machine, a lozenge cutter in 1847, got the NECCO wafers their start. The familiar pastel candies were sold for over 50 years before they were given their name, an acronym for the New England Confectionery Company that produced them. The same company introduced conversation hearts in 1866, dubbing them “motto hearts” and printing such messages as “Be Good,” “Be True” and “Kiss Me.” The phrases have been updated in recent years, adding “Call Me,” “Fax Me” and “Email Me.” In 2011, NECCO added “Tweet Me” to the list of mottos.

• It’s likely that nearly every child in America has at some time received a ball-shaped lollipop from the bank teller. These little pops, known as Dum Dums, have been around since 1924 when they were introduced

West Nile VirusWe’re experiencing a seasonal epi-demic for West Nile virus, brought on by infected mosquitoes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention. West Nile virus can cause serious illness for some people, even leading to death in a small percentage, especially those who have other medical conditions and those who above the age of 50. In 2011, the total number of cases of West Nile virus for the whole year was 712. So far in 2012 the CDC has logged 1,590 cases and 65 deaths. In other words, it’s getting worse, and we need to know how to protect ourselves.A fact sheet from the CDC gives some good advice.Outside your house: Empty any containers that can hold standing wa-ter. This can include saucers under flower containers and any pots or buckets. Empty water in birdbaths weekly. It recommends emptying a pet’s outdoor water bowl weekly as well, but I would suggest doing it daily. You don’t want your pet to drink water that might have mosquito larva in it.Inside your house: Make sure all your screens are tight to the window and do not have holes.When you go out: Taking care that you don’t get bit by mosquitoes is probably the most crucial of all the preventions. Wear long sleeves and pants if you’re out when the mosquitoes are most active, which is dawn and dusk. Use an EPA-registered insect repellent. If your community decides to spray for mosquitoes as a way of con-trolling West Nile virus, take care not to be outdoors when they spray. Keep windows closed.For more information, especially the symptoms, go to the CDC site (www.cdc.gov) and search for West Nile virus, or call it at 1-800-232-4636.

Fresh RicottaIt’s amazingly simple to make -- just three ingredients and less than a half-hour re-quired -- and it’s more delicate than store-bought fresh ricotta. Plus, it’s only half the price! Use this rich, fluffy cheese for lasagna, cannoli or simple crostini (with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or topped with chopped fresh herbs).

Cheesecloth (see Tip)8 cups whole milk1 teaspoon salt3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1. Line large strainer with 4 layers cheesecloth and place lined strainer in large bowl; set aside.2. In heavy-bottom 4-quart saucepan, heat milk and salt to boiling on medium-high, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching.3. Stir in lemon juice; cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. With slotted spoon, gently transfer curds from saucepan to lined strainer. Drain 3 minutes. Discard whey in bowl.4. If not using right away, transfer ricotta to clean bowl, cover, and refrigerate up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.

Tip: Cheesecloth can be found in the kitchen-supply aisle of supermarkets.

For Any and All Distribution Needs or Questions Please Call (251) 229-4519 • September 26, 2012 Page 3by the Akron Candy Company. Sales manager I.C. Bahr named the pop, figuring Dum Dum was a word any child could say. Seven original flavors were introduced, with many added and deleted over the years, including the famous Mystery Flavor. The Mystery Flavor changes regularly since it is a blend of the tail end of one batch and the beginning of the next, whatever they may be.

• Remember Chuckles? These sugar-coated jelly candies have been around since 1921, when a Chicago marshmallow manufacturer introduced them. The five-flavored strip of candies was widely advertised with the slogan “5 flavors – 5 cents.”

• Chick-O-Sticks and Chicken Bones were pretty much the same thing. Introduced in 1938 as Chicken Bones, this was a honeycombed candy filled with peanut butter and rolled in toasted coconut. In 1955, it was discovered that another company already owned the name, and the change was made to Chick-O-Sticks.

• There’s nothing like pouring straight sugar down your throat, which is what we did with Pixy Stix, a powdered sugar packaged in a drinking straw. It started out as a drink mix in the late 1940s called Frutol, but since kids seemed to prefer the straight powder, Pixy Stix made their debut in 1952.

• The chocolate-covered, crunchy peanut butter bar 5th Avenue was the 1938 brainstorm of William Luden, who is more famous as the creator of Luden’s cough drops.

• Back in the 1950s when James Dean and Marlon Brando looked cool with their cigarettes rolled up in their T-shirt sleeves, candy cigarettes were all the rage with kids. It seems that candy makers actually worked with the tobacco companies to help attract young smokers! Although the original candy cigs with their “lit” red tip are long gone, they are now reproduced but, we hope, with a different goal. Some folks who have quit smoking pass out packs to friends on the anniversary of their last cigarette.

• Those little hollow tubes of black licorice coated with pastel-colored candy were known as Snaps. They appeared at candy counters for the first time around 1930 and can still be found at specialty candy shops. You’ll have a little more trouble finding wax lips, introduced in the early 1900s, which could be chewed into a waxy, cherry-flavored gum. If you didn’t like the lips, vampire fangs and moustaches were also available.

• The Pittsburgh-based D.L. Clark Company had a hit in 1917 with a chocolate-covered honeycomb of ground, roasted peanuts, simply called Clark Bar. This confection became so popular with U.S. troops stationed overseas in World War I, it became a giant sensation back at home as well. The same company produced the Zagnut candy bar beginning in 1930, a

crunchy peanut butter bar covered in toasted coconut. The word “zigzag” became popular in the 1930s, and it’s believed that’s where the name originated.

• Many children spent their allowance on the caramel Slo Poke suckers, because according to the familiar jingle, “Get yourself a Slo Poke, it lasts all day!” If you were a chocolate fan, you could purchase the similar Black Cow.

• How about our preferred chewing gums? Three of our old favorites, Black Jack, Beemans and Clove were discontinued years ago, but the Cadbury Adams Company, which owns the formulas, cooks up a batch of each every couple of years. The licorice-flavored Black Jack gum was the first flavored gum in America. Back in the late 1800s, an Ohio physician Dr. Edward E. Beeman marketed a gum of pepsin powder and chicle, designed to aid digestion. Legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager made Beemans gum famous by chewing a stick before every flight for good luck. In fact, the antacid qualities of pepsin made the gum popular with pilots for reducing stomach agitation in flight. Clove gum was first manufactured in 1914 by Thomas Adams. Legend has it that Clove grew in popularity during Prohibition because its strong smell masked the odor of illegal alcohol on the breath. The Beech Nut Company launched Fruit Stripe gum in the 1960s with a zebra as its “spokesman,” packaging it in zebra-striped wrappers. It was the only gum with stripes, which were added on after the gum was made. The down side of Fruit Stripe was that it lost its flavor very quickly, and now that it has been re-introduced, the complaint is the same — It’s pretty much flavorless in just over five minutes.

• Chicago’s Williamson Candy Store produced and sold chocolate back around 1920. One of their young customers hung around the establishment so much, before long the employees were asking him to do little odd jobs, “Oh, Henry, could you do this?” and “Oh, Henry, will you bring me that?” Soon after, their newest confection was named the Oh Henry bar.

Raise chickens in your back yard in the city? “Why not?”

said 36-year-old Alison Holmlund of Santa Cruz, Calif., when the opportunity came her way this past summer. The busy Silicon Valley software executive and mom of three kids under 5 might appear to have enough going on in her life without adding “chicken farmer” to her resume. “I simply couldn’t refuse when two adorable chicks be-came available for adoption after being lovingly cared for by children at a farmyard summer camp. I thought adding Ruby and Penny to our family would be a great way to help my city-raised kids better understand where their food comes from,” she told me on a recent visit. Just then, 3-year-old Jude announced that he found a “Penny egg” in the “Holmlund Hen House,” a sturdy structure built with recycled paneling from a 1970s bedroom remodel, a repurposed refrigerator shelf for a screen, and simple knobs from a dilapidated cabinet. “It’s so much fun for the boys to check for eggs during the day -- sometimes we get up to four. Penny lays light-green-colored eggs, and Ruby’s are brown,” says Alison. Raising chickens is a real-life application of recycling and learning about the food cycle. “We give them food scraps from our kitchen, and they fertilize the garden and eat pests,” she adds. Raising chickens might not be on your to-do list this fall, but there are other activities to bring home a bit of country life.

HARVEST FALL FINDSWhile farmers bring in their crops, your pre-schoolers also can “harvest” natural items on walks. Look down and not just up as you hunt for acorns, branches with ber-ries, pinecones and fallen bark. As leaves turn brilliant colors, press them in a book between waxed paper when you get home. On a rainy day, make collages, necklaces, place cards and centerpieces for your kitchen table.

MAKE IT A COUNTRY WEEKENDSpend a Saturday in the country and enjoy a prearranged farm tour for an up-close look at farm life. Hang out with chickens, goats, cows and sheep. Climb in a hayloft. Or go to a pick-your-own farm to experience how fruit and vegetables are grown.

GARDEN IN YOUR BACKYARDFor nonstop learning, clean and dry remaining herbs growing in your garden. Pick the last sunflower, press and frame it. Till the soil and plant some bulbs for color-ful blooms next spring.

March to a Million

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. Even the name sounds scary. CTE is a brain condition caused by concussions. Until now, this condition was thought limited to sports athletes, like boxers and football players, where the results of multiple head injuries over a career are well known. Research now shows that service personnel who’ve been subjected to at least one blast or concussion that resulted in traumatic brain injury can develop CTE.CTE is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder, with symptoms only showing up later in the form of disorientation, confusion, depression, headaches, impulse control and aggression problems, suicide and more. Symptoms later in life can include dementia.There hasn’t been a way to truly diagnose CTE except for a brain biopsy after death. Researchers at two universities teamed up with the Department of Veterans Affairs health system to compare the brains of athletes with those of service members who were subjected to at least one blast or concussive episode. They found no differences.The injury triggers accumulation of an abnormal protein called “tau” in the areas of the brain that regulate impulse and aggression control, depression and memory. It takes only one blast from an improvised explosive devise (IED) to set in motion the chain reaction that can result in CTE.Tau can be seen in the blood soon after injury, leading researchers to start trials to develop a way to detect its presence within minutes. From this they hope to find a treatment that will keep TBI from progressing into CTE.As of now, more than 244,000 service personnel have been diagnosed with TBI since 2000. It’s thought there are many more whose brain damage hasn’t been diagnosed.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone has some sugges-tions to offer regarding your new project. You might find them helpful. Remember to avoid speculation and to stick with just the facts, Lamb.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An old friend suddenly re-appears. Whether this proves to be a boon or a bane in the Bovine’s life depends on the reason for this surprising reap-pearance.

You can now move your focus to an upcoming profes-sional development.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might not like seeing so many on-the-job changes.

But check to see if all that dazzle isn’t just a sprinkling of surface glitter.

But in the end, the decision has to be made based on what is best for you and those you love.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Family problems are best worked out with all those concerned contributing sug-gestions that will ease tensions. Stay with it until a workable solution is found.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Expect to hear more about an offer that has piqued your interest. You earn respect for insisting on solid facts, not just a fancy talk about poten-tial opportunities.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) What seemed to be a reasonable workplace request might need to be defended. Don’t fret. You have both the facts and a sur-prise ally on your side.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A bit of capri-ciousness might be just what you need. Plan to kick up your heels in a round of fun and games with family and friends this weekend.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Although some of your plans might have to be put on hold, things do begin to take a turn for the better by midweek. Your financial crunch also eases.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your financial picture begins to brighten by week’s end. There are also favorable changes in your personal life. Someone you care for has good news to report.BORN THIS WEEK: You seek balance, but not at the ex-pense of justice. You would make a fine judge.

¥ On Oct. 6, 1847, “Jane Eyre,” a book about the struggles of an orphan girl who grows up to become a governess, is published. Charlotte Bronte, the book’s author, wrote of her experiences at being sent to a boarding school at the age of 5.

¥ On Oct. 1, 1920, Scientific American magazine reports that the rapidly developing medium of radio soon would be used to broadcast music: “Experimental concerts are at present being conducted every Friday evening from 8:30 to 11:00 by the Radio Laboratory of the Bureau of Stan-dards.”

¥ On Oct. 5, 1930, a British dirigible crashes in Beauvais, France, killing all 56 people aboard. The R-101, Great Britain’s biggest blimp, was flying only 250 feet above the ground, unbeknownst to the pilots because of the dark night. The blimp skimmed treetops before hitting a ridge, igniting the hydrogen supply.

¥ On Oct. 4, 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower distributes to his combat units a report by the U.S. Surgeon General that reveals the hazards of prolonged exposure to combat. Based on this evaluation, American commanders judged that the average soldier could last about 200 days in com-bat before suffering serious psychiatric damage.

¥ On Oct. 2, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gib-son strikes out 17 Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series, breaking Sandy Koufax’s record for the most strikeouts in a Series game.

¥ On Oct. 7, 1975, a New York State Supreme Court judge reverses a deportation order for John Lennon, allowing him to remain legally in the U.S. The judge wrote that “The courts will not condone selective deportation based upon secret political grounds.” An FBI investigation of Lennon had turned up no evidence of involvement in il-legal activities.

¥ On Oct. 3, 1995, Heisman Trophy winner O.J. Simpson is acquitted of the double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, despite a DNA match, a wound on Simpson’s hand, the recent purchase of a “Stiletto” knife and matching shoe-prints at the scene.Answers

Weekly Pest Series courtesy of Tina Franc

Yellow JacketsYellow Jackets are a hive wasp. They are about ½ to ¾ inches long and have yellow banded bodies. They resemble honey bees. They create colonies beginning in the spring and lasting into the fall. They are possibly the most dangerous stinging insect in our area. They will defend their nest when disturbed, attacking the threat. The colony reaches maturity around late summer and fall. Their natural food source (insects, fruit trees, fruit and sap) becomes scarce at this time so they begin to forage human foods to feed their developing queens (who will hibernate in the winter cold and have next generation in the spring). Yellow Jackets scavenge picnics and parties in search of sweets (ice cream, soft drinks, fruit, even beer! Among other foodstuff) so always keep your food and drinks properly covered/ sealed at all times. And don’t leave your drink unattended as it may result in a throat sting session!They construct the nest from paper made of chewed up bark and create the cones inside for the nesting larva. The nest usually only has one entrance/exit. If you are experiencing yellow jacket activity, contact a professional for advice or inspection. It may be underground or in a wall void, attic, barn, old rodent burroughs…anyplace they can make a nice nest. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DEALING WITH YELLOW JACKETS!!! (It’s possible to stumble upon a ground nest unexpectedly so best to wear shoes, long pants and sleeves when walking on ground you are unsure of). Remember that they will fiercely defend their nests so be careful not to disturb them. Do Not Attempt to clear them out! Call on a professional.It cannot be stressed enough that these are highly aggressive creatures and their stinger is smooth. This means it can sting you repeatedly while hundreds of others do the same. It is possible to be stung one time and have a strong allergic reaction. Many people have allergic reactions and can become seriously ill from anaphylactic shock. Swelling of lips, throat, glands, severe itching of eyes or face, difficulty breathing or swallowing, are some symptoms of anaphylaxis. An epi pen can save your life if you’ve been stung, or a trip to Urgent Care or an Emergency Room may be necessary.
