TIDBITS® REMEMBERSSTEAMBOATS

On April 23, 1838, the first steamboat to cross the Atlantic Ocean from England to America ar-rived in New York City. Come along with Tid-bits as we remember the contribution made by steamships.SIRIUS vs GREAT WESTERN • The SS Great Western was the first paddle-wheel steamship built with the intention of crossing the Atlantic, and it was the largest passenger ship in the world at the time. Built in Bristol, England, it was launched on March 31, 1838, whereupon a fire broke out in the engine room. Damage was minimal, but fifty passengers cancelled their bookings, leaving only seven pas-sengers to make the trip. • Taking advantage of the delay, rival steamship Sirius embarked for New York, keen on beating the Great Western across the ocean. The Sirius left on April 4, followed by the Great Western on April 8. Even with the start, the Sir-ius beat the Great Western by only a single day, arriving on April 23. • The average speed of the Sirius was 8.03 knots (14.87 km/h) but the Great Western made the trip at 8.66 knots (16.04 km/h). The Great Western went on to make 45 ocean crossings in the next eight years, averaging 16 days west to New York and 13 days going back to Britain, in a day when the journey usually took 40 days on a sail-powered boat.

What is Tidbits?

STEAMSHIP BEGINNINGS • Before steamships crossed the ocean, they plied the rivers. In 1819 the first steamboat made its way up the Missouri River as far as the site where Omaha sits today. It was called the Western Engineer and carried surveyors. It was shaped like a dragon monster, with the steam of the engines emitted from its mouth. It was hoped this fearful sight would prevent Indians from at-tacking the boat. Apparently the ploy was suc-cessful, as the boat encountered no trouble.FULTON’S MONOPOLY • Robert Fulton is remembered as the father of the steamboat, although John Fitch and John Stevens worked on the invention be-fore him. Fulton adapted ideas of others and put steamboats in the public eye. He applied for a monopoly of steam traffic on the nation’s rivers. The state of New York granted him alone the right to operate steam powered boats within its boundaries. Fulton then asked for similar rights from other states. All turned him down except Louisiana. Controlling steam traffic in Louisiana meant that Fulton ultimately controlled much of the traffic on the Mississippi, because he could prevent all other steamships from reaching New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. • A man named Shreve was also interest-ed in steamboats. To challenge Fulton’s monop-oly, he took a boat called the Enterprise down the Mississippi to New Orleans. He put up bail for the boat as soon as he landed, before deputies had even attached it. He then returned north to build a better steamboat, called the Washington. • On her maiden voyage, the Washing-ton set a speed record for travel from Louisville to New Orleans. The lawsuit against the Enter-prise was still unsettled, and the Washington was quickly impounded. Shreve countered by getting a court order holding Fulton responsible for loss of income.

EVENT CALENDAR FULTON’S MONOPOLY (cont’d) • By now, people realized it was a mis-take to let only one company run steamboats on the river. Public sentiment was against Fulton. Seeing the writing on the wall, lawsuits were dropped and the monopoly was broken. •Later Shreve was appointed U.S. Su-perintendent of Western River Improvements. He invented the ‘snag boat’ which cleared some 300 miles of the Mississippi River of obstacles. Shreveport, Louisiana was named after him.—Fact—One of Shreve’s tasks was to dismantle a float-ing, living raft made of logs and live trees, weeds and shrubs. This huge tangled mass of vegeta-tion was 26 miles (42 km) long. Each time the Mississippi River flooded, the raft would be lifted and moved to some other location, block-ing shipping lanes where ever it went. It took Shreve five years and $311,000 merely to blast a channel through the center of the raft. It wasn’t until some 30 years later when, with the help of a new invention called nitroglycerin, U.S. En-gineers were able to blast away the last of the Great Raft.BUGS IN THE SYSTEM • Shreve built many steamboats but his favorite was always the Washington. When a boiler exploded on June 9, 1819, Shreve was injured and 8 others died. This was the first in a long string of steamboat accidents. Besides exploding boilers, another problem was the in-credible heights of the boats. At first steamboats were only double-deckers, then a third and fourth deck were added. These towering boats could not hold their own against crosswinds and were often blown into shoals. Another danger was the fact that the entire boats were made of wood and were extremely flammable.

Tidbits® of Dallas County www.tidbitscda.com Page 4BUGS IN THE SYSTEM cont’d• 70% of the steamboats that were de-stroyed on the Missouri River met their end by striking snags. Nearly 300 ships were lost this way. Shreve’s snag boats removed 2,245 snags and 1,710 overhanging trees in 300 miles.A LANDMARK COURT CASEIn 1853 the Rock Island Railroad built a draw-bridge over the Mississippi River in order to let trains cross the river. When a steamboat called the Effie Afton smashed against the bridge and sunk with the loss of many lives, the owner hired a young lawyer who argued that the rail-road was at fault and should be forced to remove the bridge. Although the steamboat company spent $20,000 on litigation, the case was lost. Soon railroad bridges were popping up along the length of the river. The young lawyer, how-ever, went on to greater things. His name was Abe Lincoln.A NEW PORTIn 1851 David Denny and John Low built a cabin on the Puget Sound and started a town. Shortly afterwards the first steamboat arrived, looking for lumber to carry to San Francisco. The pio-neers had lots of lumber, but there was no easy place where the logs could be loaded on the ship. The settlers decided to relocate their town to a place where boats could more easily be loaded and unloaded. The local Indians helped them find a new townsite. The new town was named for their chief. Today it’s the largest metropoli-tan area in the Pacific Northwest, and it the 8th largest port in the U.S. What city is it? Answer at the bottom of the page.RAILROADS vs STEAMSHIPSWhen railroads started crossing the continent, people with vested interests in steamships tried to vilify railroads. In posters and ads, railroads were called the work of the devil. But railroads eventually put steamboats out of business.ANSWER: Seattle.


Hospital Patients Risk Infec-tion Hospital stays can make you sick. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered that one quarter of pa-tients in hospitals get serious infections. The study of more than 11,000 patients, reported in the New England Journal of Medi-cine, looked at antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as bacterium clostridium difficile (commonly know as c. diff) and methicillin-resistant staph-ylococcus aureus (MRSA), a staph infection, being acquired in hospitals. Devices, such as catheters and ventilators, were included as the sources of infection. The study estimated that more than 700,000 infections were acquired in hospitals in one year alone. At the root of the massive numbers of antibiotic-resistant infections is the over-pre-scription of antibiotics, which reduces their ef-fectiveness. If you’re due for hospitalization, be bold about your own care. The CDC has a poster with these six steps to help avoid hospital infections.1) Talk to your doctor, ideally before you go into the hospital. Ask what they’ll do to protect you against infections. If you have a catheter, will it be changed every day? How can you prepare in advance to guard against infection?2) If no relatives or friends are around to repre-sent you in the hospital, speak up! If you don’t see medical staff washing hands in your room before touching you, assume it wasn’t done and say something.3) Ask if tests have been done to ensure that the right antibiotic is being used.4) Know the signs of an infection: redness and pain at a surgical site, as well as fever.5) If you’ve been taking antibiotics, watch out for diarrhea. Tell your doctor as it could be c. difficile, which can be deadly.6) Get your flu shots and other vaccinations to prevent infections.Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot person-ally answer reader questions, but will incorpo-rate them into her column whenever possible.

ALLERGIES Allergies affect approximately 40% of the population today, and are on the rise, affecting approximately 50 million Americans. There are 4 classifications of allergies: Skin Contact (which includes things such as poisonous plants, animal scratches, detergents, or latex gloves), injection type (includes bee stings and injected medications), inhalation allergies (pollen, dusts, animal dan-der, mold and mildew) and ingestion allergies (foods and medications). Each have their own distinct mechanisms, although there are similarities between them. Typical treatments are targeted at suppression of the histamines released as part of the allergy mech-anism or sensitization to the allergen, such as injections. Non-conventional treatments employ ho-meopathy, dietary changes, detoxification, herbal supplementation, acupuncture, and/or a few other modalities. Since many people dislike the drowsy/druggy feeling, or do not appreciate the loss of smell or taste due to anti-histamines or have a fear of allergy shots, they turn to more natural alternatives for their allergies. There are many effective solutions. Addressing allergies generally involves addressing immune function, especially when it comes to airborne allergies. To effectively address food allergies it is essential to address the entire digestive system, starting with the stomach and the ability to digest proteins effectively. Healing the damage that has affected intestinal permeability is paramount as well. There are many ways to ad-dress these systems to assist in the elimination of allergies. Acupuncture is a very effective means of eliminating allergies. Acupuncture supports effec-tive digestion, reduces inflammation and swelling of tissues, and restores balance. Acupuncture not only relieves the symptoms of allergies, but also targets the cause. According to Hippocrates, re-ferred to as the father of medicine, “The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” Acupuncture helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanism. Other helps include sanitation. Keeping a home or work environment absolutely clean helps to keep allergens under control and takes the load off the immune system. Some people also find temporary relief of sinus allergies by using a neti pot to rinse the sinuses, however, although help-ful, this only addresses the symptoms and doesn’t address the causative factor (for instance why the cilia in the sinuses are not dumping the irritants themselves). Exercises such as yoga can stimulate the flow of mucus from the tissues and can be helpful as well.

Got fresh herbs? Try this drying tip/car freshener in one: Lay herbs flat on newspaper in your car. Keep windows closed, and after a nice sunny day, you’ll have a delicious-smelling car and dried herbs to store for later dishes. Ð JoAnn

“Raised beds are a nice addition to our garden area, but it seems the gophers liked them too. To keep the beds from being attacked from below, we lined them with chicken wire this time, and everything is going really well so far.” -- J.J. in Illinois

When starting plants from seeds, you can use an old cupcake pan. Use paper liners or coffee filters to line the cups. Add soil and seeds. Wa-ter as necessary. When the seedlings are ready for replanting, simply lift out, break the bottom seal of the paper or filter, and plant as-is in the ground. It’s easy to transport them in the pan -- and no leaks.

Two things your garden should have: a rain bar-rel and a compost pile. Both are relatively easy to set up, and pay big dividends. You can go on-line or get a book at your local library on how to set up a compost pile. Some cities will give away rain barrels or hold workshops. Find out today!

“To keep track of what’s planted in your gar-den, you use garden markers. Make your own by writing the type of flower, plant or herb on a brick or large flat stone. Use permanent marker and cover with clear acrylic if you want it to last longer. You can even use both sides for different seasonal items.” -- Z.M. in Georgia

Q:Is Long -Term Care right for you?

A:To answer this question I will provide you with some facts. Life expectancy after age 65 has now increased to 17.9 years. In 1940 life expectancy after 65 was only 13 extra years. The longer people live the greater the chances they

will need assistance due to chronic conditions. About 12.8 million Amer-icans of all ages require long-term Care, but only 2.4 million live in nurs-ing homes. About 44% of people reaching age 65 are expected to enter a nursing home at least once in their lifetime. Of those who do enter a nursing home, about 53% will stay for one year or more. Whether you should buy a long-term care insurance policy will depend on your age, health status, overall retirement goals, income and assets. For instance, if your only source of income is a social security benefit or SSI, you probably shouldn’t buy long-term care insurance. On the other hand, if you have assets but don’t want to use them to pay for long-term care, you may want to buy a long-term care insurance policy. Many peo-ple buy a policy because they want to stay independent of government aid or keep from burdening family that would otherwise need to assist in your care.

Supplement of the Week: Cataplex E2If you suffer altitude sickness, which is caused by oxygen starvation, you know how miserable this can be. Thankfully, there is an easy way to prevent altitude sickness. Take Cataplex E2, 6 tablets at elevation, and it will prevent the sickness. Cataplex E2 is also necessary for treating angina. Again, oxygen starvation is the cause of angina, and can be treated by chewing Cataplex E2 2-3 tablets - it will usually resolve within 10 minutes. Some people find this better than ni-troglycerin tabs because it can prevent angina. Keep the nitro around for an emergency, but take Cataplex E2, 4-6 tabs/day, for prevention. Other signs of oxygen starvation are yawning, sighing, constant fatigue - try Cataplex E2.

When you start losing your edge…when fatigue or addiction sets in…when memory starts to slip…when anxiety takes over…when sleep be-comes elusive, brain chemistry is the issue. When you cannot get started on a program of healthy eating, or you cannot stick to a weight-loss diet, or you cannot start or maintain an exercise program, the explanation usu-ally is your brain wasn’t enlisted to help. If you want to live longer and live better, use your head.The four primary neurotransmitters (brain chemicals) are dopamine, GABA, serotonin and acetylcholine. Deficiencies of each relate to spe-cific diseases and the general slowing down of aging. We can now mea-sure these neurotransmitters with a simple urine test, and balance them naturally.In addition, using a quantitative eeg, an office procedure, the overall brain function and speed can be measured. This is particularly important to dif-ferentiate whether memory impairment is simply an aging brain, or actu-ally dementia. Both of these tests are covered by most insurances, includ-ing medicare.Look at the chart below to get an indication of whether you may be defi-cient in some of these essential brain chemicals.

The Long Arm of the VAOIG The Department of Veterans Affairs Of-fice of Inspector General (VAOIG) has, as usual, been busy investigating allegations of wrongdo-ing in the VA. Here are some recent highlights:„ A Pennsylvania man, head of a veterans sup-port group, defrauded the VA for seven years, taking $178,000 in healthcare and pension ben-efits he wasn’t entitled to. He stole a veteran’s identity to pull off the theft. He’ll get three years of supervised released and must pay back the en-tire amount. At the William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA medical center in South Carolina, VAOIG re-sponded to allegations that there were high in-stances of surgical infections. They determined that infection control was “fragmented and in-consistent.” In West Haven, Conn., inspectors found that lack of staff, incomplete and inconsistent procedures and poor training resulted in oper-ating rooms that weren’t necessarily clean. Ad-ditionally, safeguards weren’t in place for safe handling of infectious patients at the same time as noninfectious patients. A former director of a medical center in Ohio was guilty of 64 charges. A two-year inves-tigation uncovered fraud, conspiracy and money laundering, which resulted from taking bribes from contractors and providing inside informa-tion. The loss to the government was approxi-mately $20 million. A Florida VA medical center police offi-cer was found guilty of using law enforcement’s computers to get personal information on a mili-tary servicemember. He threatened to post ex-plicit photos on social media unless the victim paid money. A pharmacist at the VA medical center in Nashville diverted a large amount of drugs while working on the night shift. In Pennsylvania, a contract employee filed fraudulent time sheets, claiming to work 100 hours a week when no work was actually done. The contract company reimbursed the VA for $78,000.I hope the VAOIG has an adequate budget to keep doing what they do. They deserve every dime they get, and more.

It was Benjamin Franklin who made the follow-ing sage observation: “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”

If you’re like 87 percent of American adults, you use the Internet. The only thing I find surprising about this statistic is that there are 13 percent of adults who [SET ITAL]don’t[END ITAL] use it.

In a recent survey, more Americans said they would have a hard time giving up the Internet than said they’d have a hard time giving up TV.

Those interested in maritime history (and practi-cally everyone else, for that matter) are familiar with the story of the Titanic, which struck an ice-berg and sank on the night of April 15, 1912. It’s interesting to note, though, that in 1898 a book called “Futility,” by Morgan Robertson, de-scribed an almost identical scenario: The ship in the novel was called Titan, and, like the Titanic, it was trying to break a speed record for crossing the Atlantic. The Titan was declared to be un-sinkable, and it didn’t have enough lifeboats for all the passengers. On its fictional voyage in the month of April, it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean and sank, resulting in the deaths of almost all the passengers.

In Ireland, the police do not carry firearms. Their only weapons are batons and pepper spray.

In 1943, then-chairman of IBM, Thomas Wat-son, went on the record saying, “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.”
