National Association of Town Watch (NATW) is a non-profi t organization dedicated to the development and promotion of various crime prevention programs including neighborhood watch groups, law enforcement agencies, state and regional crime prevention associations, businesses, civic groups, and individuals, devoted to safer communities. The nations premiere crime prevention network works with law enforcement offi cials and civilian leaders to keep crime watch volunteers informed, interested, involved and motivated. Since 1981, NATW continues to serve thousands of members across the nation. The introduction of National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime”, in 1984 began an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fi ghting back. NATW’s National Night Out program culminates annually, on the fi rst Tuesday of August (In Texas, the fi rst Tuesday of October). NATW’s Executive Director, Matt Peskin, introduced National Night Out in 1984. The fi rst National Night Out took place on Tuesday, August 7th 1984. That fi rst year, 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states.

The seed had been planted National Night Out now involves over 37 million people and 15,000 communities from all fi fty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. The traditional “lights on” campaign and symbolic front porch vigils turned into a celebration across America with various events and activities including, but not limited to, block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from emergency personnel, rallies and marches, exhibits, youth events, safety demonstrations and seminars, in effort to heighten awareness and enhance community relations. Peskin said, “It’s a wonderful opportunity for communities nationwide to promote police-community partnerships, crime prevention, and neighborhood camaraderie. While the one night is certainly not an answer to crime, drugs and violence, National Night Out represents the kind of spirit, energy and determination to help make neighborhoods a safer place year round. The night celebrates safety and crime prevention successes and works to expand and strengthen programs for the next 364 days.”

National Night Out is only one night, what about the other 364 days in a year?

Designate a particular problem in your registered community and work towards a solution to issues such as drugs, gangs, violence, or graffi ti within an estimated 365 days between your annual National Night Out events, in effort to create a safer neighborhood. Refer to the following list of focal points for your customized campaign:�a park plagued by crime, drug dealers, underage drinking, etc.�a poorly lit corner with prevalent crime activity�neighborhood watch group expansion in your community�robbery or burglary reduction plan in high crimes areas�clean up plan for a particular area that consists of various issues such as illegal trash piles, broken bottles, graffi ti, abandoned vehicles, etc.

Minneapolis leads the nation in National Night Out participation for second straight year

For the second consecutive year and fi fth time in six years, Minneapolis residents led the nation in participation in National Night Out activities, which help build community and keep our neighborhoods safe. Minneapolis placed fi rst in the nation for the number of National Night Out gatherings held in the city, among cities with populations greater than 300,000, according to the National Association of Town Watch, which sponsors the annual awards. Overall, this is the 11th time that Minneapolis has earned the top ranking.

Why Do I Need a Will?Death is a hard thing to talk about for most people. That is why people often never get around to making a will. But do you really need one?When you die, if you have assets and/or minor children, someone has to gather up your assets, figure out what to do with them and figure out how to take care of your minor children.If you die without a valid will, the courts choose someone to assemble your assets and/or take care of your minor children with no regard to your wishes. With a written will, you have the power to direct who should be in charge of taking care of your estate, what should happen to your minor children and how your assets should be distributed.So basically, if you want to have a say in how your estate and/or minor children are handled in the event you die, you should have a will.Concerns?

• High heels prevent the ankles from absorbing their normal share of the force of walking, shunting it instead to the toes. A three-inch heel puts more than seven times the pressure on the forefoot than a fl at shoe. This promotes many foot ailments such as bunions, hammer toes, and neuroma, which is a painful thickening of the nerve that connects the toes. A study of 3,000 surgeries performed on the forefoot found that 87% of the bunion surgeries, 81% of hammer toe surgeries, and 89% of the neuroma surgeries were done on women’s feet. • High heels also affect the knees. A study published in the British medical journal The Lancet showed that high heels cause strain and pressure on the joint that joins the kneecap and the underlying thigh bone. The rotational forces on the inner part of the knee joint were 23 percent higher when women participating in the study walked in heels than when they walked barefoot.• Surprisingly, the big toe has only two bones, while the rest of the toes have three. Although nearly every bone in the body has an offi cial name, one exception is the toe bones. They are known only as "metatarsal digits #1-5." A fourth-year medical student at Yale decided to undo the injustice by bestowing names on the toes. He called them porcellus fori, porcellus domi, porcellus carnivorus, porcellus nonvoratus, and porcellus plorans domun. In Latin, these names translate as little pig at market, baby pig at home, meat-eating piglet, small pig that has not eaten, and piggy crying all the way home. Some orthopedic surgeons have picked up his names, but doctors have not yet gone hog wild over the idea.

• T h e measuring device in shoe shops is called a Brannock Device, after the inventor who designed it in the 1920s. The fi rm is still going strong. • N o t surprisingly, the place on the body where the skin is thickest is the heel of the foot, where it’s about 1/16th of an inch thick. Compare that to the thinnest skin on the body— the eyelids— at 2/1000 of an inch. Although the heel is the area on the body that is least sensitive to pain, it’s also the sweatiest area. The 125,000 sweat glands in a single foot can excrete as much as half a pint of sweat per day. Research done at the University of Miami centered on foot odor. How does a research team study foot odor? First you get a bunch of volunteers to sit with their feet in plastic bags. Then you have

the laboratory staff sniff the feet. They discovered that people with foot odor had large numbers of a certain bacteria on their bodies— the same type of bacteria found in Limburger cheese. They also discovered that antibiotics can reduce the number of bacteria, and thus improve the smell of feet. Why some people carry large amounts of this bacteria and others don't is still unknown, but is under investigation. It could be differences in a person's sweat or pH balance. Since it's not a good idea to take antibiotics to reduce odor, this valiant research team is now trying to fi nd ways to keep bacteria from sticking to the skin, to prevent bacteria from getting a "foothold." Around 80 million Americans suffer from smelly feet. • One company called Sweet Feet combated foot odor with scented socks. Impregnated with various scents such as powder, citrus, strawberry, and peach, the footsie socks threw off a long-lasting fragrance. The odor remained even through many launderings and the socks cost about $20 per pair.• Many people do not wear the correct shoe size for their feet. Often this is because people stick to the size they were measured

for when young and fail to realize that their feet change shape. Turn the page for more!

FOOT BINDING

• The only thing worse for feet than high heels was the Chinese practice of foot-binding. A young girl’s feet were wrapped with a bandage ten feet long, strapped in a fi gure eight around the foot and ankle. It was tightened daily and pulled so taut that the four smallest toes were forced under the foot, breaking the bones. The bones in the arch of the foot would also break, forcing the arch into a sharp inverted “V” shape. Every two weeks the girl was given a pair of shoes two tenths of an inch smaller than the previous pair. Infection often resulted, sometimes followed by gangrene, amputation of toes, and even death. After two years, the ideally deformed foot fi t a shoe only four inches long, and would proudly be called “lotus feet” or “lily feet.” Because women with lily feet could only put weight on their heels and couldn’t walk without pain, they hobbled with a mincing step which men considered charming. No one knows why the custom became habit, though it’s conjectured that the practice was popular because it prevented unhappy wives from running away. The practice began with the higher classes in order to prove that the family was so rich that the daughters didn’t need to work. However, a majority of low-class girls had their feet bound anyway in the hopes that they would fi nd a high-class marriage. Only the most poverty-stricken families, whose daughters needed to work in the fi elds, failed to follow the practice. Beauty in the feet was considered more important that beauty in the face. Foot-binding was the norm in China for a thousand years, until being outlawed in the Revolution of Sun Yat-Sen in 1911. A 1997 study of elderly women in Beijing who had suffered from foot binding in their youth found they tended to fall easily, were often unable to rise from a chair without help, could not squat, and had higher rates of osteoporosis.

■ On July 24, 1567, during her imprisonment at Lochleven Castle in Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots is forced to abdicate in favor of

her 1-year-old son, later crowned King James VI of Scotland. In 1542, while just 6 days old, Mary had ascended to the Scottish throne upon the death of her father, King James V.

■ On July 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln informs his chief advisers and cabinet that he will issue a proclamation to free slaves, but that he will wait until the Union Army has achieved a substantial military victory. The Emancipation Proclamation had less to do with ending slavery than saving the crumbling union.

■ On July 23, 1918, Della Sorenson kills the fi rst of her seven victims in Nebraska. Over the next seven years, friends, relatives and acquaintances of Sorenson died under mysterious circumstances. In 1925, Sorenson was arrested when she made an unsuccessful attempt

at killing two children with poisoned cookies.

■ On July 28, 1929, President John F. Kennedy’s wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, is born into a prominent New York family. In 1951, she began her fi rst job as the Washington Times-Herald’s “Inquiring Camera Girl,” roaming the streets of Washington, D.C., and asking “man on the street” questions.

■ On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s fi rst baby to be conceived via in vitro fertilization, is born in Manchester, England. In December 2006, Louise gave birth to a boy, Cameron John Mullinder, who was conceived naturally.

■ On July 29, 1909, the newly formed General Motors Corporation acquires the country’s leading luxury automaker, the Cadillac Automobile Company, for $4.5 million. Cadillac was founded out of the ruins of automotive pioneer Henry Ford’s second failed company. His third effort, the Ford Motor Company, fi nally succeeded.

■ On Aug. 4, 1914, as World War I erupts in Europe, President Woodrow Wilson formally proclaims the neutrality of the United States. However, by June 1915, the fi rst 14,000 U.S. infantry troops landed in France to begin training for combat.

■ On Aug. 1, 1943, a Japanese destroyer rams an American PT (patrol torpedo) boat, No. 109, slicing it in two. The destruction is so massive that other American PT boats in the area assume the crew is dead. Two crewmen were, in fact, killed, but 11 survived, including Lt. John F. Kennedy, who would later become president.

■ On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signs Medicare, a health insurance program for elderly Americans, into law. At the bill-signing ceremony, former President Harry Truman was enrolled as Medicare’s fi rst benefi ciary and received the fi rst Medicare card.

• In 496 B.C.E. there was a terrible drought in Rome. The priests thought if they adopted a new goddess, perhaps she would help. So they started worshipping Ceres. She became the protector of crops, and the caretakers of her temple became grain dealers, since she was responsible for the growth of grain. A new Latin word was coined meaning “of Ceres”: cerealis. That’s where we get our cereal.• Oatmeal has more protein than whole wheat. Samuel Johnson said oats are "a grain which is generally given to horses but in Scotland supports the people." A Scot replied, "That is why in England you have such fi ne horses and in Scotland we have such fi ne men."• Grape Nuts is one of the few cereals with no added sugar. It has nothing to do with grapes or nuts, being made out of wheat and barley. Charles Post named it Grape-Nuts because it tasted nutty and he thought its taste came from dextrose, called grape sugar at the time.• Charles Post cashed in on the success of the cereal business when he came out with a cereal he called Elijah's Manna. He tried to export it to Britain but they refused to register it, feeling giving such a religious name to a food item was sacrilegious. Post changed the name to Post Toasties.• If all the shredded wheat biscuits consumed by Americans in a single year were placed end-to-end, they would circle the globe twice.• After winning the Olympic decathlon in 1976, Bruce Jenner was signed up to sell Wheaties. On the air, Jenner claimed he had eaten Wheaties all his life. The assistant district attorney in San Francisco brought suit against General Mills, claiming consumer fraud. They felt that Jenner hadn't really eaten Wheaties all his life. Jenner challenged

the DA to ask his mother. The suit was dropped.• The Trix rabbit is always trying to sneak a bowl of Trix cereal, but the kids constantly take it away from him, saying "Trix is for kids!" During the 1976 presidential elections, General Mills worried that this might be teaching kids a bad thing: try as you might, you'll never reach your goal. So they put it to the vote. By sending in box-top ballots, kids were asked to vote on whether or not the rabbit would get his Trix. 99% voted yes. Amidst great fanfare, the rabbit got to eat a whole bowl on the next commercial. Then, like Oliver Twist, he held out his empty bowl and asked for more— only to be told he had to wait for the next election.• In 1964 both Kelloggs and Post introduced cereal that had freeze-dried fruit in it. They thought the fruit would absorb moisture from the milk and be reconstituted in the bowl. Unfortunately it took so long for the fruit to rehydrate that the cereal was hopelessly soggy by the time the fruit was edible.• Indians brought popcorn to the fi rst Thanksgiving dinner with the Pilgrims, and the Pilgrims liked it so much they later poured milk on it and ate it like cereal.• Kellogg's makes four out of the fi ve most popular cereals in America: Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran, and Rice Krispies. General Mills' Cheerios is the fi fth.• Cheerios spend more on advertising than any other single food product.• High sugar cereals are stored at the kid's eye level whereas nutritious brands are placed at the adult eye level. Children's cereals have an average of 44% sugar but adults have 10% sugar. An ice cream bar is 20% sugar, but Sugar Smack cereal is 61% sugar.• 46% of Frosted Flakes are consumed by adults.

▲ Sometimes a tip isn’t about saving time or money, but about a cleaner, healthier solution to a problem. Going green is a trend that’s here to stay. And the wisdom of yesteryear is popping up all over the place. For instance, want beautiful highlights? Get a lemon and get out in the sun.

Use the juice to dampen strands of your hair, then as you are out in the sun, they will lighten -- no chemicals, au natural!

▲ Sunburn can be soothed with plain vinegar. For the back, arms or legs, soak a washcloth in room temperature vinegar and lay it on the affected area for 15 minutes, then rinse. For the face, soak a cotton ball and lightly dab on burned areas. -- I.E. in California

▲ Bug bites can be treated with banana peel. Use a small piece of the peel laid white side down over the bite. Secure with a Band-Aid. Leave on at least fi ve minutes. This works especially well for my kids, who seem to think it’s fun. -- W.S. in Alabama

▲ Lush lips and lovely nailbeds are only as far away as your pantry. Use olive oil applied directly to lips and nails to moisturize.

▲ Duct tape remedy for warts: “Cover wart completely with duct tape. Leave it on for six days. On day seven, remove the tape, soak the wart in warm water and use a pumice stone or emery board to rub the dead skin off. Repeat until it’s gone. No chemicals, and it takes about the same amount of time to work as expensive medicines you buy at the drugstore.” -- H.V. in Virginia

▲ Vinegar is such a versatile tool. It’s nontoxic, mild and yet a powerful cleaning agent. Plus, it makes a terrifi c salad dressing! Here’s one of my own vinegar tips: Keep a spray bottle of white vinegar by your washing machine. Spray the armpits of T-shirts before laundering. It helps to remove the residue left behind by antiperspirants. -- JoAnn

▲ Swimmer’s ear remedy: “Equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Put a few drops in either ear, and it’ll dry them out.” -- O.I. in Texas

▲ Get hard-water deposits off of showerheads by fi lling a zipper-style bag with vinegar and securing it to the showerhead using a rubber band. Let it soak overnight, then run hot water through it to clear. Amazing!

In honor of the 73rd annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally being held August 5 through 11, Tidbits checks out the facts on Harley-Davidson, founded in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. • In 1901, 21-year-old William Harley wrapped up a blueprint drawing of a single-cylinder engine designed to be attached to a regular bicycle frame. Two years later, with the help of his childhood friend Arthur Davidson, their fi rst motorcycle rolled out of their fi rst “factory,” a 10’ x 15’ wooden shed. Arthur’s brothers joined the company shortly afterward, boosting 1903’s production to three motorcycles. Eight cycles were sold in 1905, and 50 the following year. While the fi rst Harley was black, customers in 1905 could choose black or the “Silent Grey Fellow,” Each had hand-painted stripes and a hand-lettered “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” on the fuel tank. • Harley-Davidson expanded to a new factory measuring 28’ x 80’ in 1906, and six full-time employees were on staff. The next year, production increased to 150. Another new factory came along in 1913, boasting 297,110 sq. ft, compared to the 2,240 sq. ft. of the 1906 facility. The larger area enabled the company to produce 12,904 cycles that year. • Seventeen years after the fi rst cycle rolled out of that wooden shed, Harley-Davidson was the largest motorcycle company in the world, with dealerships in 67 countries. Over 28,000 motorcycles were produced in 1920.

• Of all the country’s motorcycle manufacturers in business in 1929, only Indian and Harley-Davidson were able to weather the stock market crash. Production at H-D dropped from 22,350 bikes to 3,703. Sales to police forces helped them survive the economy’s collapse. • H-D profi ted greatly from the use of their motorcycles during war time. Over 20,000 Harleys were used during World War I, and nearly 90,000 were put into service during World War II. • In 1946, foreign motorcycles hit the American market and the competition with British and Japanese bikes was fi erce. British imports had a sportier appearance and were cheaper and more reliable. Favorable tax laws governing imports made these bikes even more attractive. Although Harley-Davidson introduced the Hydra-Glide with the Panhead engine in an attempt to compete, it was heavy and not as sporty. It didn’t take long for H-D’s market share to shrink to a mere 6% of the market. By 1950, 40% of the motorcycles in the U.S. were foreign-made. • Marlon Brando was 30 years old when he rode a British Triumph in the 1954 movie The Wild One, the story of a motorcycle gang terrorizing a small town. The fi lm’s popularity did nothing to help the sales of Harleys. In an effort to combat the appeal of British bikes, in 1957, H-D introduced the Sportster, considered “father of the superbikes.” • The 1969 cult fi lm Easy Rider featured Peter Fonda as Captain America riding a completely transformed H-D Electra-Glide with a Panhead engine. Four bikes were customized for the

making of the fi lm. Three were stolen before the movie was completed, and one burned. Fonda later restored the burned bike and today that chopper can be seen at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. The Harleys ridden by the main characters in the fi lm were purchased from the Los Angeles Police Department, as Harley-Davidson refused to provide free bikes for the movie. • The 1960s ushered in the customizing trend, but H-D failed to jump on the bandwagon in time. Their earnings faded, and the company was forced to go public, selling shares for the fi rst time in 1965. In 1969, the family relinquished control of the business they had owned for 66 years, selling out to the American Machine and Foundry Company for $21 million. AMF, famous in the bowling industry, allowed the quality to slip considerably. Sales plummeted and by 1980, there seemed little chance of recovery for the company. In 1981, 13 senior H-D executives banded together and purchased the company from AMF for $80 million and the recovery began. In 1986, two million shares of common stock were offered, returning the company to public ownership. • There have been a number of “glides” throughout Harley history. The Hydra-Glide was introduced in 1949, with the fi rst hydraulic front forks. This evolved into the Duo-Glide in 1958 with the addition of rear brakes and hydraulic rear suspension. The Electra-Glide came along with its electric starter motor in 1965, and on to the Super-Glide in 1971 and the Wide-Glide in 1980. • Harley has also had a variety of “heads” over the years. First there was the Flathead, dubbed as such because

of the shape of the cylinder head cover. Introduced in 1929, it was a 45-cubic-inch side-valve engine. The Knucklehead, the fi rst V-Twin model, debuted in 1936 with its cylinder covers shaped like clenched fi sts. It featured two fuel tanks with the instrument panel positioned between them. It was produced until 1947. Along came the Panhead in 1948 with aluminum cylinder covers resembling upside-down saucepans. Panheads were around until 1965. The next year brought the Shovelhead, whose cylinder covers looked like the back of a shovel. Compare the Shovelhead’s engine size of 74 cubic inches with that 1903 model’s 25 cubic inches! The year 1984 brought in the Blockhead, an 80-cubic-inch engine. • The 1932 Harley-Davidson could be purchased for around $300. If you’re looking to buy a 2013 Electra-Glide CVO Ultra-Classic 100th Anniversary Edition, better set aside about $38,000. A new Sportster will set you back around $11,000. • For seven days every August, Main Street in Sturgis, South Dakota, population 6,700, is packed with thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts who gather to race and tour. The fi rst rally was held in 1938, drawing nine racers and 200 spectators. The two-day rally offered $500 in prize money. Two years later, 150 racers participated in front of 5,000 onlookers. Close to 450,000 are expected for this year’s rally. • Harley-Davidson expects to ship about 260,000 motorcycles to dealerships during 2013.

The Reluctant Psychic Recently I spent two days at an expo. This can be a diffi cult situation for me as I’m sensitive to the energies around me. By day two I was so overwhelmed with energy I couldn’t get warm. I ended up with my winter coat on and by the time I got home I had to take a hot bath and go to bed. This time of year it 's easy to fi nd yourself surrounded by people. It can and should be a wonderful thing - as long as you know how to protect yourself. It’s very possible to have your energy pulled from you, but more often we get too much from others and can become overwhelmed. Think of all the times when you’ve been at a party or festival, at a parade or party, or just out shopping; suddenly you felt the need to leave. It was just too much and you needed to go. What’s happening during those times is that you are absorbing energy from others. It usually happens gradually. You could be out shopping for an afternoon, just wandering around the stores and passing by people. With each person you pass, if they are not protecting themselves, you will absorb a

little bit of their energy and just like anything else - too much feels uncomfortable. It is relatively easy to protect yourself from absorbing others energy, or from giving yours away. Before you head into a store, just ask in your head (or out loud) to be protected while you are in the store. You can also use your imagination to visualize a coating around your body that won’t let energy in or out. Wearing the color purple can be very protective. You don’t have to wear a lot of it for it to work. Even painting your nails purple can help. Try to practice protecting yourself from others and protecting others from your energy by blocking it. You will fi nd that your moods are steadier and that you have just the right amount of energy to go about your days. Thank you for your interest and attention. If you’d like to have a reading, please contact me. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, your life, and with those loved ones who have moved on.
