TIDBITS® HAS FUN WITH

A STORY IS BORNby T.A. Tafoya

How do authors come up with the ideas for their books? Here’s a fun look at a few popular chil-dren’s classics and how they were conceived.

•“Where the Wild Things Are” began with something else in the place of “Things.” Maurice Sendak, a young storybook artist, originally wrote a children’s story called “Where the Wild Horses Are.” The only problem with this title was he couldn’t draw horses. In 1963, Sendak changed “Horses” to “Things” in favor of monsters. He based these monsters on his scary Brooklyn relatives that he didn’t like as a child.

• Sendak said of those relatives, “I remember how inept they were at making small talk with children. There you’d be, totally helpless, while they cooed over you and pinched your cheeks. Or they’d lean way over with their bad teeth and hairy noses, and say something threatening like, ‘You’re so cute I could eat you up.’ And I knew if my mother didn’t hurry up with the cooking, they probably would.”

• Curious about “Curious George”? Author Hans Augusto Rey grew up in Hamburg, Germany. His favorite thing to do as a child was to visit the zoo. As an adult, he began writing children’s stories filled with the exotic animals from his past.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

• On Sept. 22, 1598, English playwright Ben Jonson is indicted for manslaughter after a duel. He was very nearly hanged, but his ability to read and write saved him. He claimed "benefit of clergy," which allowed him to be sentenced by the lenient ecclesiastical courts. Jonson was as famous in his time as Shakespeare.

• On Sept. 21, 1866, H.G. Wells, pioneer of science fiction, is born in Bromley, England. In 1895, he published his classic novel "The Time Machine,"

about a man who journeys to the future. The book was a success, as was "The War of the Worlds" (1898).

• On Sept. 20, 1881, Chester Arthur becomes third president to serve in one year. The year began with Rutherford B. Hayes in office. Hayes served out his term and turned over the reins to James A. Garfield. Four months later, Garfield was shot by an assassin but did not die until Sept. 19. Vice President Arthur was then sworn in as president.

• On Sept. 24, 1890, faced with the eminent destruction of their church and way of life, Mormon leaders reluctantly issue the "Mormon Manifesto" in which they command all Latter-day Saints to uphold the laws of the nation and abandon polygamy.

• On Sept. 23, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is forced to defend his dog's honor and his own reputation. Critics had circulated a story

claiming that Roosevelt had accidentally left Fala behind while visiting the Aleutian Islands earlier that year. They accused the president of sending a Navy destroyer, at taxpayer expense of up to $20 million, to go back and pick up the dog.

• On Sept. 19, 1957, the United States detonates a 1.7 kiloton nuclear weapon in an underground tunnel in Nevada. The test was part of a series of 29 nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons safety tests known as Operation Plumbbob.

• On Sept. 25, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor becomes the first female U.S. Supreme Court justice in history when she is sworn in by Chief Justice Warren Burger. After graduating from Stanford law school in the early 1950s, no law firm in California would hire her because she was a woman.

A STORY IS BORN (continued):• In 1940, Rey and his wife fled from the Nazi

invasion of Paris. They were caught escaping on their bicycles and arrested as spies. An officer searching their belongings found the unpublished manuscript of “Curious George,” and after reading it, he let the Rey’s go, saying no spy could write such a wonderful story.

• A.A. Milne gave his son Christopher Robin a stuffed bear for his first birthday in 1921. He named the bear Winnie the Pooh after Winnie, a real bear at the London Zoo. As his son grew up, Milne made up bedtime stories about adventures his son had with his Teddy Bear. A friend and editor of a children’s magazine thought they were so charming, he suggested publishing them. “Winnie-the-Pooh” was published in 1926.

• E.B. White based “Charlotte’s Web” on his own experiences at his farm in Maine. White said, “One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the animal because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life. In the barn I had been watching a big, gray spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was weaving her web. Gradually I worked the spider into the story, a story of friendship and salvation on the farm.”

• In 1939, Ludwig Bemelman wrote the first “Madeline” book in Pete’s Tavern in New York City using the backs of the tavern’s menus as writing paper. The story was based on his mother’s life as a young girl in Bavaria and his memories as the smallest boy in boarding school. He named the main character after his wife Madeline. 3rd Quarter 2011

A STORY IS BORN (continued):• In 1941, during lunch with a publisher in

New York, a famous French Air Force pilot and author named Antoine de Saint-Exupery doodled a picture of a little boy on a napkin. “Who’s that?” the publisher asked. “Oh,” Saint-Exupery reportedly replied, “just a little fellow I carry around in my heart.” The publisher suggested Saint-Exupery write a book about the character. “The Little Prince” was published in 1943, one year before Saint-Exupery’s death.

• While attending Dartmouth College from 1921 to 1925, Theodor Suise Geisel became editor-in-chief of the Jack-O-Lantern, Dartmouth’s humor magazine. He got into a bit of trouble when he and his friends were caught throwing a drinking party, which was against prohibition laws and school policy. He was banned from all extracurricular activities, including the magazine, so he began signing his work with the pen name “Seuss.” He got the idea for his first published book, “And To Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street” while on a ship. He began putting words to the cadence of the boat’s engines. The phrase he kept repeating was, “And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street,” which became the foundation of a tale about a young boy who imagines a parade that grows more and more outrageous.

• While on a boat trip up the River Thames in London, Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was accompanied by three young daughters of his friend Henry Liddell. He entertained the girls with a story about a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.

The name “Old Glory” was first applied to the U.S. flag by a young sea captain who lived in Salem, Massachusetts. On his 21st birthday, March 17, 1824, Capt. William Driver was presented a beautiful flag at an outfitting of his ship. The flag was sewn by his mother and a group of Salem women. Driver was delighted with the gift. As it was hoisted up waving in the wind, he exclaimed, “I name her ‘Old Glory.’”

Bobby, age nine, opened the old family Bible, and as he turned the pages, something fell out. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages.”Hey, Mom, look what I’ve found!” Bobby called out. “What have you got there, dear?” his mother asked. Astonishment written all over his face, he answered, “I think it’s Adam’s suit!”

The youngest female author was Dorothy Straight. At age 4, she wrote “How the World Began” in 1964. The youngest male author was Dennis Vollmer, age 6. He wrote “Joshua Disobeys” in 1987.

A STORY IS BORN (continued):• The girls loved the story and one of them,

Alice Liddell, asked Dodgson to write it down for her. For Christmas in 1864 he gave Alice a handwritten copy of the manuscript entitled “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground,” dedicating it as “a Christmas gift to a dear child in memory of a summer’s day.” The book was published in 1865.

• In 1990, while on a crowded train from Manchester to London, the idea for Harry Potter suddenly “fell into her head,” says author Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Rowling sent her manuscript “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” to several prospective agents in 1995. After eight rejections by publishers, an offer came in but with one suggestion — that she change her pen name to a more gender-neutral name to address the fear that males in the targeted age group wouldn’t be interested in reading a novel written by a woman. She agreed and decided to use J. K. Rowling instead.

• No one author is known to have written the story of Cinderella. Many versions of the folk tale have been shared for thousands of years throughout the world. The oldest recorded Cinderella story dates back to first century B.C. in ancient Greece. The tale is of a “rosy-cheeked” girl, who lived in the Greek colony of Naucratis in ancient Egypt. No matter how the story is told, the main character is always a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The theme remains constant — overcoming unjust oppression to find triumph and reward.

Glue Gun Is Latest "High-Tech" Scam

In this high-tech world, who would have thought that a scammer could steal from people with a glue gun. Here's how it works:At your neighborhood bank's ATM, where you've gone many times to withdraw cash, you might find one day that the machine seems to be defective. Some of the keys aren't working correctly. Specifically, after you've entered all your numbers, including your PIN, the "enter" button appears to be stuck. Same for the "cancel" button. They've been glued in place.Meanwhile, your card is stuck in the machine mid-transaction. When you go into the bank for help, the thieves appear from around the corner and either hammer the keys loose and complete your

transaction, grabbing the money, or they use the touch-screen feature, which you probably didn't even know about.If this happens to you:--Try pressing the screen. Many locations have installed touch

screens. You might be able to complete or cancel your transaction and get your card back.--If you're carrying a metal nail file or a pocketknife with gadgets on it, try to loosen the "cancel" key.--Use your cell phone to call the bank to tell them you're standing outside at the ATM. When you tell them the keys are stuck, they'll surely be right out because they'll suspect what has happened. Whatever you do, don't leave your card there.--In a pinch, call the police and ask for assistance.The older scams are still in play, however, so don't let down your guard. These include:--A false front with a sleeve or skimming device installed on the machine. When you insert your card, either your card number is read by a remote

device, or the machine won't let go of your card. As in the previous scenario, when you go for assistance, the scammer takes your card.--The brochure box next to the machine doesn't just dispense literature, it also might have a camera that records every number you punch in. The thieves, likely sitting not far away, not only grab your card number, but the PIN too.--Even the keypad could be fake. Be vigilant.Remember that ATM machines that have been tampered with can be anywhere: the bank, retail stores, gas pumps and fast-food places with checkouts that have you swipe the card yourself.

Is it really better to use plastic bags instead of paper at grocery stores? Not really. The monetary cost may be less, but the environment suffers when so many plastic bags get loose. Most of us have seen plastic bags flying in the wind, ending up on fences or in trees, littering otherwise attractive natural surroundings. One alternative is to use cloth bags.

People from all over the world visit the Dead Sea for its spas. There are many claims touting the benefits of the region’s solar radiation and climatic conditions, oxygen-enriched atmosphere, mineral-rich salty water, thermo-mineral springs and a therapeutic black mud. Supposedly the Queen of Sheba was the first to believe that the Dead Sea had healing powers, and Cleopatra had the world’s first spa built there.

Some scientists working on an island in the Pacific were chatting when one wondered aloud: “Our supplies should be arriving shortly. Why is it that if you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when it is transported by ship, it’s called cargo? Doesn’t that seem a little backwards?”

A Chilean flamingo named “Pink Floyd” wintered at the Great Salt Lake in Utah after escaping from Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City in 1987. He (gen-der uncertain) continued to live in the wild, surviving on brine shrimp. Floyd was last seen in 2005 in Idaho.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:

CHILDREN OF WARThe United Nations was established after World War II in hopes of creating peaceful resolutions to conflicts between nations. In spite of this ef-fort, between 1945 and 1992 alone, there were 149 major wars around the world, killing more than 23 million people. • Some of the greatest casualties of all wars are

children. They are innocent victims who have little choice but to experience the same horrors as their parents.

• Children of war are often separated from their families, driven from their homes, left orphaned, killed, maimed, sexually abused or exploited into becoming child soldiers.

• In times of war, more children die from starvation and sickness than from bullets and bombs. Those who do survive are often traumatized from the violence and brutality they witness. Many generations of young people are emotionally affected for the rest of their lives.

• According to Unicef, during the last decade, it is estimated that child victims have included: two million killed; four to five million disabled; 12 million left homeless; more than one million orphaned or separated from their parents; and some 10 million psychologically traumatized.

• One increasing tragedy of war is the use of young children as soldiers. Children are used because they are more expendable and easier to intimidate into doing what they are told. Some children are forced to join military groups as a means of survival because they are provided needed food, clothing and protection, or they are recruited using threats of harm to their person or their family.

CHILDREN OF WAR (continued):• There are children who will fight willingly

and do so for varied reasons. They may fight to avenge the death of parents and families or like adults, they too may see themselves fighting for social justice or religious beliefs. Whole generations of children have grown up surrounded by violence as an everyday occurrence. This becomes their way of life.

• To attempt to end the exploitation of children as solders, the United Nations, in partnership with Unicef, the Special Representative on Violence Against Children and the office for the High Commission of Human Rights, launched a campaign called Zero Under 18, which seeks to end the recruitment and use of child solders.

• The organization’s goal is to achieve universal ratification of the Optional Protocol by the year 2012. This Optional Protocol is to enforce among all nations that no child under the age of 18 can participate in hostilities; no child can be forced to serve the national military or irregular armies; and that former child solders will be assisted by governments in finding a new existence after a life of violence, distress and alienation.

• Universal ratification means that the world has succeeded in standing together by publicly declaring the end of this inhumane occurrence. Already, 132 countries have signed on to this promise; 53 others have not. These 53 countries are listed on an international List of Shame available at the campaign’s website at www.zerounder18.org. Sanctions have been proposed against these countries that continue to recruit and use children in armed conflict.

• The Human Rights Watch estimates that right now, 200,000 to 300,000 children are serving as soldiers for both rebel groups and government forces in armed conflicts.

Respect Is The Name Of The Game

By Tresa Erickson

Upon mention of the word “eti-quette,” dining might be the first subject to come to mind. You might envision a group of people using a wide range of utensils as they converse over a seven-course meal, or a mother reminding her young son not to eat with his mouth full. Essen-tially a set of rules governing behavior, etiquette applies to a

number of areas, including fish-ing. Whether you fish a little or a lot, there are certain rules you should follow. Here’s a refresh-er course on fishing etiquette, just in case you have forgotten.

Respect the EnvironmentKeep the site where you fish as clean and undisturbed as pos-sible. Stay on trails and take out everything you bring in, including trash and chemicals. Don’t litter or dump waste into the water. Pick up any other trash you find and dispose of it properly. The goal is to leave

the site as clean or cleaner than you found it. Do your best to achieve this, and should you see others damaging the envi-ronment, don’t be afraid to re-port it to authorities.

Respect WildlifeTake care not to disturb wild-life and handle fish carefully. Use eco-friendly products and practices. Try barbless hooks and molded nets to make the release of fish easier and safer. Consider using artificial lures in place of live bait. If that isn’t possible, choose native species over exotic species. Exotic bait could survive, reproduce and wreak havoc on the ecosystem. Handle fish with a damp paper towel to keep the protective layer on their gills intact, keep only what you need and release the rest properly.

Respect the LawFind out what regulations are in place and follow them to the letter. Obtain a license if re-quired. Don’t drink, especially if fishing from a boat. Use only the tackle permitted and keep only the fish allowed. Do not fudge on the rules. You could harm the environment. Should you see any illegal activity, re-port it immediately to authori-ties.

Respect OthersGet permission before fishing on private lands and be courte-ous of everyone you come into contact with. Give anglers their space. Don’t butt in on their ter-ritory. If you are fishing from a boat, watch your speed, wake and wash. Be quiet around the water. Turn off your cell phone and radio and keep conversa-tion to a minimum. You don’t want to spook the fish.

Be aware of the consequences of your actions and do your best to be an ethical angler. En-courage others to do the same and make the pastime better for everyone.
