TIDBITS CELEBRATES
Famous Siblingsby Kathy Wolfe
Over 4 Million
Readers
Nationwide
Since April 10 is National Sibling Day, Tidbits is taking this
opportunity to bring you facts about some famous siblings whove
made the news over the years.
The Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, were born to a mother who
was a personal manager and a real estate developer/mortgage broker
father. The two were cast in the ABC sitcom Full House at the age
of nine months, sharing the role of Michelle Tanner for the entire
series run from 1987 to 1995. After two more sitcoms, they branched
out into producing. The Olsens are authors and businesswomen, with
the majority of their time now spent on their luxury fashion design
business. Their combined net worth is estimated in the $300 million
range. Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty were born to a psychology
professor father and a drama teacher mother. Shirley made her film
debut at age 21 in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and went on to fame
in Terms of Endearment and Steel Magnolias. Although as a young
man, Warren had been offered ten college football scholarships, he
turned them down to study acting after seeing the success of his
sister, who was already a Hollywood star.

Country singer Naomi Judd has two famous daughters, Wynonna and
Ashley. These sisters are direct descendants of famous Pilgrims
Mary and William Brewster, who helped organize the first voyage of
the Mayflower. Ashley, born Ashley Ciminella in 1968, has appeared
in close to 40 films, but has many other accomplishments, including
an MPA from Harvards Kennedy School of Government. She is active in
humanitarian causes, including prevention of genocide and crimes
against women. Sister Wynonna (birth name Christina Ciminella)
teamed up with her mother to form a musical duo that had 14 No. 1
hits on the charts. The pair released seven albums before
disbanding in 1991. Wynonnas solo career has led to 20 more singles
on the charts.
Professional tennis playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams
have faced each other 27 times in Grand Slam finals. Both have been
ranked Number One in the world in their career, with Venus
top-ranked for 11 weeks, and Serena for 200 weeks. Currently Serena
is No. 1 and Venus is No. 16. Venus is a seven-time Grand Slam
title winner in singles, with Serena grabbing 21 titles. Each woman
has won four gold medals in the Summer Olympics Games. A Williams
sister has won the Wimbledon singles championship in 2000, 2001,
2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2015.
The American pop band Hanson, consisting of three brothers
Isaac, Taylor, and Zac have sold more than 16 million records, and
have had eight Top 40 albums. When their first album Middle of
Nowhere was released in 1997, Isaac was 17, Taylor, 14, and Zac,
just 12 years old. The album sold 10 million copies worldwide. The
young brothers were nominated for three Grammy Awards in 1998. New
Jersey brothers Paul, Joe, and Nicholas Jonas have sold upwards of
17 million records. Formed in 2005, they are the youngest band to
be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Baby boomers
will remember the character of Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith
Show, a role that Ron Howard played for eight years. The
Oklahoma-born Howard appeared in his first movie at 18 months, but
had his first credited role at age 4. As a teenager, he began a
six-year stint as Richie Cunningham on the popular sitcom Happy
Days. At age 25, he left the series to focus on a career as a
director. His many successful films include Cocoon, Apollo 13, A
Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code and Frost/Nixon. Ron Howard has
cast his younger brother Clint in 16 of the films he has directed.
Clint was also a child star, appearing in the 1960s series Gentle
Ben as the son of a Florida Everglades game warden who kept a bear
as a pet. Ron is worth a little more than his brother -- $140
million to Clints $20 million.
There were more sets of siblings competing in the 2014 Winter
Olympics than any other. Seven sets of siblings on Team USA
competed either as teammates or as rivals, along with Ukraines
female twins, three sisters from Switzerland, another three sisters
from Canada, and two brothers from Norway. Two of the three
Canadian sisters took gold and silver in the moguls event. In the
mens double luge event,
Yes, Ive lost to my computer at chess. But it turned out to be
no match for me at kickboxing.

two Austrian brothers won the silver medal, while two Latvian
brothers took the Bronze. Dutch twin brothers won gold and bronze
in the mens 500-meter speedskating race. Over the years, there have
been 19 families who have had three or more siblings compete at the
Winter Olympics. The record is held by the Spanish Fernandez Ochoa
family, who had three brothers and two sisters competing. The
Aurness brothers were born in the 1920s to a businessman and his
journalist wife. James was the elder, who had his eyes set on being
a World War II fighter pilot, but his height of 67 made it
impossible. Instead, he served as an Army infantryman in Italy,
where his leg was severely injured by machine-gun fire. After the
war, James and his brother Peter, also a WWII vet, pursued careers
in the entertainment field and both became well-known television
actors in very different roles. James, who dropped the u
in his name, became James Arness, the star of TVs Gunsmoke, a
long-running western set in 1870s Kansas. For 20 years from 1955 to
1975, Arness was Marshal Matt Dillon on the series, along with
several made-for-TV Gunsmoke movies after the regular series ended.
His brother changed his name to Peter Graves and became famous in
his role of Jim Phelps, the director of the Impossible Missions
Force on TVs Mission Impossible from 1967 to 1973 and again from
1988 to 1990. The highly-successful 1980s comedy Airplane! films
featured Graves as Captain Clarence Oveur, the pilot of a Boeing
707.
The 1977 Saturday Night Fever movie soundtrack album, recorded
by siblings, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb sold 15 million copies
and was Album of the Year, with five the songs making it to #1 on
the charts. The Gibbs composed half of 1978s biggest songs, with
Barry and Robin once writing three #1

UNUSUAL ANIMALS
DOLPHINSApril 14 is National Dolphin Day, and what better time
to examine the specifics on this group of marine animals!
The word dolphin comes from the Greek word Delphis, which
translates to womb, leading to an interpretation of the meaning as
a fish with a womb. Yet they arent fish at all, but mammals who
breathe air, give birth to live young and nurse them with milk, and
are warm-blooded, maintaining a constant body temperature. They do
have hair, but only when they are first born. It falls out within
two weeks, and doesnt grow again for the remainder of their
lives.
Of the 43 species of dolphins in the world, 38 are marine
dolphins, living in saltwater, and five are river dolphins. The
marine dolphins live mainly in shallower
water near coastlines in warmer locations, and are common in
Southern California, Chile, the tip of South Africa, and the Gulf
of Mexico. Yet theyve been found from Nova Scotia to Norway.
The most well-known species is the Bottlenose Dolphin. Because
of the design of their face, they always appear to be smiling. The
Bottlenose is large, ranging from 10 to 14 feet long (3 to 4.3 m)
and weighing up to 1,100 pounds (499 kg). Their size varies
according to their location, with living
in cooler bodies of water a larger size than those in warmer
temperatures.
Dolphins come up for air every few minutes, only able to remain
submerged for up to 4 minutes without a breath. While traveling in
their pods, each has a distinctive whistle that helps the others
recognize them.
Weve all seen photos of dolphins leaping high into the air. A
dolphin can vault up to 20 feet (6.1 m) into the air before
splashing back into the water. It could be they are dislodging
parasites such as sucker fish or barnacles, or to escape
predators.
The number of a dolphins teeth varies from eight up to 250, with
only one set of teeth for life. Consuming between 10 and 35 pounds
(4.5 to 15.9 kg) of food each day, they use their teeth to
catch
their prey, but not to chew it, rather, they swallow their
dinner whole.
As far as senses, they have excellent vision, both in and out of
the water, with special corneas that adapt to both conditions.
Although their ear openings are only small the middle ear, its
believed that sound moves to the inner ear via fat lobes located in
the jaw and other bones in the skull. Their sense of smell is poor,
due to the absence of olfactory nerves.
Dolphins are the second most intelligent animals, behind human
beings. MRI scans of dolphin brains indicate a large brain with an
intricate neocortex, and capable of experiencing emotions. They are
highly trainable, and actually pass their knowledge on to fellow
dolphins. They exhibit concern for other

Hair Wreath
Q: My granddad contributed to several WPA guides that were
published during the 1930s and 40s. He would like to find the one
issued about Texas but has been unable to find a copy. Can you help
us? -- Sarah, Jasper, Texas
A: The WPA Guide to Texas was first published in 1940 by
Hastings House. An original edition is fairly difficult to find. I
did locate a reprint from 1986 at abe.com for $50. If youre
unfamiliar with abe.com, it is a wonderful Internet source for book
searches.
Q: I have managed to collect about 250 match-
books. Can you recommend a reference so I can establish values
for some of the rarer ones in my collection? -- Charlie, Davenport,
Iowa
A: Bill Reskin is the author of three books about matchbooks,
and he is the driving force behind the American Matchcover
Collecting Club, P.O. Box
Q: I have a hair wreath in an elaborate frame. It is a family
heirloom from the Civil War-era. I am curious about it. -- Hope,
Canton, Ohio
A: Human hair was used during the Victorian-era to make jewelry
such as rings, lockets and bracelets. Hair also was used in
wreaths, usually as mementos of a deceased family member. The
wreaths often were cased in deep satin-lined frames and displayed
in the family parlor. The practice was abandoned after about
1910.
I occasionally have seen hair jewelry and wreaths in shops, and
prices vary. A framed wreath is often of-fered in the $250-$500
range, depending on condition and workmanship.

[email protected]. One of his better references, Matchcover
Collectors Price Guide is available at Krause Books.
Q: I have a 1958 Ballyhoo pinup calendar and have
been offered $50 for it. It is in mint condition. -- James,
Portsmouth, Virginia
A: According to Collectibles Price Guide by Judith Miller, your
calendar is worth in the $150-$200 range. Keep in mind, however,
that this price range is only an opinion based on Millers take on
the marketplace. The actual value of an item -- any item -- is what
someone is willing to plunk down for it in cold cash.

because your younger brother is still very fearful of them, then
that may be that.
However, there are some other things you may be able to do, even
if you cant have your own dog. You could spend time with a friend
or a neighbors dog. Thats a good way to learn how to walk, feed and
even train a dog. I myself grew up around many dog owners, and by
spend-ing time with them, paying attention to how they gave their
dog commands and the different training methods they used, I got a
wider perspective and better education on training dogs than a book
might have provided.
You could volunteer at a local shelter. While kids under 18 may
be restricted from working directly with the pets residing there,
many shelters have programs designed especially for school-age kids
so they can contribute to shelter pets care, and learn about caring
for these animals.
Consider getting a different pet to care for, as well. Learning
to care for animals is a really important skill. Plus, your brother
can and should have a say in what kind of pet to get -- and hell
share the responsibility for caring for it.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I always try to accompany my husband when he
goes to the doctor. I feel
that two sets of ears are always better than one. When his
vitals are taken (e.g., weight, blood pressure), I have to ask what
they were, as they never seem to volunteer this information. I
mention this because the last time we were at the doctors office, I
asked what his weight was, because he had just lost 10 pounds. The
nurse said it was 165, and I said really, that
was odd, as his shorts were very loose on him. We took it again,
and she had transposed the numbers. It was 156. This is a wake-up
call to all patients: They need to be aware to ask these questions
for their health and well-being. -- C.W.
ANSWER: I agree with you completely, for several reasons.
Doctors and nurses make mistakes, but we also dont communicate as
effectively as we should some of the time. We use words that people
dont un-derstand, talk too fast or too quietly, and dont spend the
time we need to making sure people know what they should do to help
themselves get better. I think having a family member there is a
great idea. So is taking notes, and so is going over what YOU
under-stood the doctor to say, to make sure you are both on the
same page.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have an eye question. I am
84, and I have mild hemorrhages in my left eye. My doctor said
this is due to old age, and to just wait and see if it gets worse.
He did say that it could indicate a prelude to a brain stroke-type
hemorrhage.
What can I do about this? I am very concerned. Why are my blood
vessels so fragile? Does every old person have this problem? --
J.I.
ANSWER: I assume you mean a hemorrhage in the
Two Heads Are Best at Doctors Visit
white of your eye, called a subconjunctival hemor-rhage. These
are very common, can be seen easily in the mirror, and they usually
do not indicate increased stroke risk. They are more likely in
people taking as-pirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs. They also
can come from even minor trauma, as people in their 80s do
typically have somewhat more fragile blood vessels.
If you have a retinal hemorrhage, which he would see with an
ophthalmoscope in the back of the eye, that indicates a more
substantial risk for stroke. Since the blood vessels in the retina
are essentially the same as inside the brain, hemorrhage in the
retina predicts stroke. In that case, your doctor would recommend
very careful control of any risk factors you may have, especially
blood pressure, diabetes and smoking.
The booklet on stroke explains this condition that is deservedly
feared by all. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach --

Did you know that the orca killer whale is actually a member of
the dolphin family, the largest member of Delphinidae category?
Living in the wild, a male dolphin will have a lifespan of 40 to
45 years, while a female can live to age 50.
CHARLIE THE TUNAYou probably didnt know that April 6 has
been
designated Charlie the Tuna Day, honoring the spokesman for
StarKist tuna. Theres nothing fishy about these facts.
The StarKist tuna company got its start in 1910 when an
immigrant from Yugoslavia, Martin Bogdanovich, started fishing
along the California coast. Business was good and in 1918, Martin
and five partners established a tuna business, naming it the French
Sardine Company. They retained that name until 1942 when the name
of StarKist was introduced.
In the midst of World War II, more than half of StarKists
production was being used to supply the U.S. Army. In 1952, the
company opened a new and expanded tuna cannery on Terminal Island,
California. In 1953, they began production of 9 Lives cat food,
using tuna by-products.
In 1961, StarKist hired the Leo Burnett Advertising Agency to
create a catchy ad campaign. The Agency was already famous for its
creation of the Jolly Green Giant in 1935, Tony the Tiger in 1951,
and the Marlboro Man in 1954. (The agency would go on to come up
with Fruit Loops Toucan Sam in 1963, the Pillsbury Doughboy in
1965, and Morris the Cat and the Keebler Elf in 1968.) An employee
of the agency, Tom Rogers, created Charlie the Tuna, based on a
good friend of his, Henry Nemo, a jazz composer who was a Cotton
Club musician and sometimes referred to as the creator of jive.
Charlie was created as a hip, cool beatnik tuna with a beret and
trendy shades.
He was animated by the same studio that had created the Pink
Panther. Charlies goal was to be chosen by Starkist. He believed
himself to be so cultured that he had good taste, and was the
perfect catch for Starkist. Throughout his 85-commercial career,
Charlie was always rejected with a note on a fish hook that said,
Sorry, Charlie. The point of the message was that StarKist wasnt
looking for tuna with good taste, but rather for tuna that tasted
good.
The voice of Charlie the Tuna was actor Herschel Bernardi, known
for his roles in the television series
Peter Gunn and Arnie. He was also the voice of the Jolly Green
Giant.
Charlie himself never said the popular catchphrase Sorry
Charlie, but at the end of most of the ads, he said, Tell em
Charlie sent ya. Both of these phrases are considered among the
most recognized advertising slogans in history.
In 1963, StarKist was purchased by the H. J. Heinz Company,
although a Bogdanovich descendant remained as company president.
During these years, a new manufacturing facility was established in
American Samoa. StarKist was acquired by Del Monte in 2002, who
sold it again just four years later to a South Korean concern,
Dongwon Industries.
In the late 1980s, the Charlie ad campaign was retired. He
enjoyed a brief comeback in 1999, when StarKist brought him back to
introduce their new line of healthier tuna products.

Bring Spring Indoors With Blooming Branches
Its time to start thinking spring. Feel the fresh energy of the
new season by taking a nature walk with your fami-ly. Help the kids
observe the changes taking place around them by pointing out the
buds growing on bushes and trees. Then bring branches indoors to
bloom and create a cheery centerpiece. Heres how:Step one: Clip
branches
Forsythia, tamarack, weeping wil-low, silver-maple, apple and
box-el-der branches work well for this activ-ity. Help your
children clip off a few branches (they should be about 20 inches
long) with garden shears.
Lay the branches on a hard, flat sur-face and let the kids pound
the cut ends with a hammer. This will help the branches absorb
water and will encourage the blooms. Set them in a sturdy vase or a
pitcher filled with water. For extra fun, arrange them in a
water-filled jar, and place the jar inside a clay pot you paint
yourselves.Step two: Paint a clay pot
Choose a clean clay flowerpot that is wider and slightly taller
than your jar. Set it on newspaper and let your child paint the
outside of the pot with tem-pera paint or acrylic paints. When
the
paint is dry, set the branch-filled jar in the clay pot. Fill
the gap between the jar and the pot with moss. New leaves and
blossoms should appear on the branches in a week or two.
If your child has a spring birthday, tie brightly wrapped candy
or party favors to the branches to make special blooms for the
party guests to take home.

It was 19th-century Russian playwright and short story writer
Anton Chekhov who made the fol-lowing sage observation: Love,
friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a com-mon
hatred for something.
If you suffer from galeophobia youre certainly not alone; Steven
Spielbergs 1975 film Jaws may have pop-ularized the fear of sharks,
but it certainly didnt start it. Logically, though, swinophobia
makes more sense -- pigs kill more people every year than sharks
do.
You might be surprised to learn that Harriet Tubman -- famous
for her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad -- also
served as a Union spy during the Civil War, providing key
intelligence that aided in the capture of Jacksonville, Florida.
She also was the first woman to lead an armed assault during the
Civil War; the Comba-hee River Raid freed 750 South Carolina
slaves. She even continued her humanitarian work after the war,
opening the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged and Indigent in
Albany, New York.
According to the nuns who worked with her, Mother Teresas last
words were, Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you. According to her
doctor, the last thing she said was actually, I cant breathe.

If you wanted to erect a building in Colonial times, youd go to
an undertaker; thats what building contrac-tors were called back
then.
Ancient Romans recognized three distinct forms of kissing: The
word basium denoted a kiss between ac-quaintances, osculum was used
for a kiss between close friends, and suavium described a kiss
between lovers.
Thought for the DayCatch-and-release -- thats like running
down
pedestrians in your car and then, when they get up and limp
away, saying, Off you go! Thats fine. I just wanted to see if I
could hit you.
