TIDBITS® REMEMBERS OUR FAVORITE

CARTOONS, PART ONEby Kathy Wolfe

What would Saturday mornings be like without our favorite cartoons? This week, Tidbits brings you Part One of a look at some of our long-time favorites, guaranteed to inspire more than a few good memories.

• TV Guide has ranked Bugs Bunny as the greatest cartoon character of all time. Homer Simpson is No. 2 on the list, and Rocky and Bullwinkle hold the No. 3 slot.

• Beep! Beep! Wile E. Coyote started chasing the Roadrunner across the Southwestern desert in 1949. The coyote’s pursuit involved many complex contraptions manufactured by the Acme Corporation, but his elaborate schemes were foiled every time. He regularly caught on fire, was run over and plummeted to the bottom of a canyon in his attempts to nail the elusive bird. The coyote’s creator, Chuck Jones, used the same design for another cartoon character known as Ralph Wolf. Each work day, Ralph and Sam Sheepdog punched into a time clock, exchanged pleasant greetings, and spent the day battling each other over a flock of sheep. Although the two characters’ designs were nearly identical, the coyote’s nose was black, while Ralph’s was red.

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.

CARTOONS (continued):• Wearing a Roman soldier’s uniform of helmet

and skirt, Marvin the Martian was modeled after Mars, the Roman god of war. He was forever trying to destroy the Earth with his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, but his efforts were outwitted every time by the clever Bugs Bunny. These failed attempts made him “very angry, very angry indeed.”

• In the midst of the Cold War, the world of cartoons had its token Russian spies, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. These bumbling villains attempted to do the will of their Fearless Leader, such as stealing secret rocket fuel formulas. All the while, Natasha called everyone “dollink” as Boris snapped, “Sharrup you mouth!” Natasha was voiced by June Foray, whose other credits include Dudley Do-Right’s lady friend Nell Fenwick, Rocky the flying squirrel, Tweety’s owner Granny and Lucifer the Cat in Disney’s 1950 production “Cinderella.”

• The Jetsons were just an average family living in the year 2062. Their home in Orbit City’s Skypad Apartments was filled with futuristic, labor-saving devices. George Jetson’s work life consisted of pushing a computer button three hours a day, three days a week at Spacely Space Sprockets. Jane was assisted in her wifely duties by the robot maid Rosie. The series, produced between 1962 and 1963, was the first program on ABC to be broadcast in color.

• “Ruh-roh!” became a common expression after it was frequently used by the Jetsons’ dog Astro. Voice actor Don Messick was the source for “Rats Rall Right, Reorge!” You might recognize his voice as that of other cartoon dogs Scooby-Doo and Muttley.


Aug 1 - Aug 7Page 3

CARTOONS (continued):• A 1945 cartoon entitled “Hare Trigger”

introduced a cantankerous red-haired cowboy with an extreme dislike of rabbits. After several cartoons featuring the meek and mild Elmer Fudd as Bugs Bunny’s adversary, Yosemite Sam was created as a more formidable foe who was not so easily put off. With six-guns in hand, Sam frequently thundered at Bugs, “Say your prayers, Varmint!” He was voiced by Mel Blanc, who had undergone a spell of road rage on the day he came up with Sam’s voice and merely screamed at the top of his lungs.

• Known as “The Man of a Thousand Voices,” Mel Blanc was the voice behind many of our favorites, including Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Wile E. Coyote, Woody Woodpecker, Speedy Gonzales, Barney Rubble, Pepe LePew and George Jetson’s boss Mr. Spacely. He set a record of the longest voiceover, having spoken for Daffy Duck for 52 years. The inscription on Blanc’s gravestone appropriately reads, “That’s All, Folks.”

• “I yam what I yam,” is muttered in a gravelly voice by a rough and ready, muscular sailor with anchor tattoos. Popeye was created in 1929 as a comic strip by E.C. Segar but didn’t hit the movie screen until 1933. The woman of his dreams, Olive Oyl and her brother Castor Oyl, were on the scene 10 years before Popeye.

• Popeye was well known for eating spinach for strength, and he sang, “I’m strong to the finich, ‘cause I eats me spinach.” He was so popular during the 1930s that there was a 33-percent increase in spinach consumption during that decade. The sailor’s family members included his adopted baby son Baby Swee’ Pea, nephews Pipeye, Pupeye, Poopeye, and Peepeye, and father Poopdeck Pappy. Hamburger-loving Wimpy and the bully Bluto completed the cast.

Sliding-Glass Door Won’t Glide Freely

By Samantha Mazzotta

Q: I have a sliding-glass door leading to my porch, and it sticks very badly on open-ing and closing. How can I fix this? -- Joyce in West Palm Beach, Fla.

A: Sticking or even hopping out of its track is a common prob-lem for sliding doors, and one that can be prevented with reg-ular cleaning and maintenance.Get in there right away with a vacuum (small handheld or a small vacuum hose attachment) and suck up all the loose dirt and debris that is cluttering up the metal track running under the door. This is the groove in which the door slides, and if it’s dirty or gunky the door won’t slide smoothly. Use a tooth-brush and a damp cloth to scrub away gunky spots.Next, inspect both the track and the door rollers. If the track is bent, it can be straightened by placing a thin but sturdy wooden block in the track over the bent area, bracing it with a foot or your hand, and then hammering the

area until it’s straight. Worn or bent rollers need to be replaced.If everything looks OK or has been fixed, lubricate the rollers (an all-purpose spray lubricant like WD-40 should be fine) and slide the door open and shut to work the lubricant in. The door should roll more smoothly now, but if it still doesn’t seem right or is jumping out of its track, you can adjust the height of the sliding door so the roller moves more easily. An adjustment or mounting screw should be located where the door is mounted to its frame. Turning the screw counterclockwise will lower the door slightly; turning it clockwise will raise the door (although due to its weight, you will need a helper to carefully lift the door upward, using a pry bar while you turn the screw).

HOME TIP: Sliding-glass doors are quite heavy, so if you need to lift or remove a door for any reason, always have one or more helpers to assist.

Yaks are divided into two species: domestic and wild. Domestic yak are smaller, have a less shaggy coat, and probably originated from wild Tibetan yak.Domestic yak are used for travel and as draft animals. They are also valued for their milk, meat, wool, and dung. Domestic yak are more varied in colors than wild yak. Wild yak live in alpine meadows and on the steppes in Asia. They live at the highest altitude of any

mammal. They graze on grasses, herbs, moss, lichens, and tubers. In the winter wild yak can crunch ice or snow for water.Fun Yak Facts- In winter a wild yak can survive temperatures as low as - 40 degrees (F).- A wild yak doesn’t reach full size until 6 to 8 years of age.- In wild yaks, births usually occur in June and a single calf is born every other year.- Dried yak dung is used as fuel in the treeless Tibetan plateaus.- The Sherpas of Nepal call the males of the species “Yak” and the females “Nak,” or “Dri.”

DEER CREEK DAYS AUG 6, 2010: Every year in August, the Town of Glenrock comes out in force to celebrate Deer Creek Days. It is three days filled with parades, pancake breakfasts, barbeques and games in the middle of bright summer days and warm summer nights. The week begins with local artists displaying their artwork at the Glenrock Town Hall. Ranch Rodeo takes place at the South Recreation Complex. If rodeo does not appeal to

you, there are truck and tractor pulls in a section of the Glenrock Town Park. There are local artists and musicians that entertain throughout the weekend at various stages set up both in the downtown district and in the nightclubs. Glenrock WY, something is always going on.....


Hiring Contractors for Remodeling

If you have a remodeling project in mind, late summer is a good time to line up your contractors. Construction crews are coming to the end of their busy season and looking for work to keep themselves going over the cooler months, especially the winter.Before you begin: Take written bids from at least three contractors. Be detailed in your specifications when it comes to the type of wood you want, the model and color of cabinets, the number of coats of a specific paint, etc.Ask for references of any contractors you interview, of course, and call them. Ask if the project was completed on time and at the promised cost. But don't stop there.

While it's still warm and crews are out, drive around your area and make note of the addresses of homes where work is being done, as well as the company name and phone number of any work vehicles in the yard. When

the projects are complete, approach the homeowners and ask whether they were satisfied with the work. They might even show you around to see the completed project.Make sure any contract you write is for a fixed price that includes materials and labor. That way you know the bottom line. If you sign a standard contract, read it carefully. Remember: If it's not in writing, it doesn't exist. Don't agree to any clause that can change the deadline, price or materials on your job.While it's tempting to save money by acting as your own general contractor, you may be happier in the long run if you hire a residential general contractor with the expertise to order supplies and hire and

schedule sub-contractors. Remember that while the general contractor will be responsible for a lot of things, you can't step completely out of the process. With liability insurance and workers' comp, for example, all crews who step foot on your property need to produce a copy of their certificate before they begin work. When new materials show up, be there when it's being unloaded and look for damaged or missing material. The general contractor also is responsible for paying the sub-contractors, so you need to require a performance bond to be in place for all levels of contractors.

WALT DISNEYNearly everyone on Earth is familiar with the creations of genius Walt Disney. Follow his path from humble beginnings on a Missouri farm to film mogul and theme partk creator.• An artist from childhood, Disney was already

selling sketches at age seven. In high school, he worked on the school newspaper while attending night school at the Academy of Fine Arts.

• In 1918, Walt tried to enlist in the military but was turned away because he was only 16. His alternative was to sign up with the Red Cross, who sent him overseas. He spent a year driving an ambulance, decorated from top to bottom with his drawings and cartoons. He served in a unit with Ray Kroc, who, decades later, would found the McDonald’s fast food chain.

• Disney’s career in advertising began after the conclusion of World War I. In 1920, he created his first animated cartoons, and three years later, headed for Hollywood with $40 to his name. He joined up with his brother Roy, and the two borrowed $500 and built a camera stand in their uncle’s garage where they started production of cartoon “featurettes.”

• Mickey Mouse hit the big screen in 1928, and four years later, Disney was awarded the first of his many Oscars for a film entitled “Flowers and Trees.”

• In the midst of the Great Depression, Disney produced “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” for the astronomical sum of $1,499,000. It took two million illustrations using 1,500 shades of paint to create the 1937 masterpiece. Fifty different names were considered for the dwarfs, including Gabby, Blabby, Hotsy, Nifty and Shifty. Disney had first conceived the idea for the film at age 15, when he saw a silent film version of the tale.

WALT DISNEY (continued):• Although “Snow White” featured eight songs,

25 songs were originally composed for the feature. It quickly became the highest grossing film of all time, a record it held only until 1939, when “Gone with the Wind” surpassed it. Walt built Disney Studios in Burbank, California, with the profits from “Snow White.” Over the next five years, he released “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” “Dumbo” and “Bambi.”

• As early as August of 1948, Walt Disney was thinking of building an amusement park called “Mickey Mouse Park.” In 1955, he opened his 400-acre Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, in Anaheim, with a price tag of $17 million. It was Walt’s intention that Disneyland would, “never be completed as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Indeed, new attractions are added on a regular basis.

• With his eye on the future, Walt purchased 28,000 acres in Florida for another theme park but didn’t live to see its construction. Walt Disney World opened in 1971, five years after Walt’s death. Strangely enough, Disneyland is in Orange County, California, and Walt Disney World’s location is Orange County, Florida.

• Walt Disney was the recipient of more than 950 awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, awarded to him at the White House in 1964 by President Lyndon Johnson. Walt holds the record for the most Academy Awards and received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, the University of Southern California and UCLA.
