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.

ENVIROMENT DAY(continued):• If you drink a can of beer after work and then

toss it in the recycling bin, that one (alumi-num) can saves enough energy to watch

television for three hours after dinner. Of course, you’d save even more energy if you went out for a walk or read a good used book after dinner. Think of the paper and trees saved.

• Yes, we can: There are over 80 billion soda cans used each year. Yes, that’s billion. And that’s just soda. Now, can you see the im-portance of recycling aluminum?

• If you were to add up the amount of separate pieces of paper trash that each American throws away per year, it would be approxi-mately 13,000 pieces of paper. A large per-centage of this is packaging and junk mail.

• An amazing fact: If you were to lay out all the paper that American businesses generate in just one day, that paper would be enough to circle the Earth about 20 times.

• When a glass bottle is recycled, the process considerably cuts back on the air and water pollution that occurs when you create the bottle from raw materials.

• Do it online? If American households went online to view and pay their bills, it would save over 16 million trees. Find out what services and options are available to you.

• Recycle your newspapers whenever you can. Each year, 10 million tons (9.1 million kg) of newspaper are not recycled, but thrown away in landfills. If we changed this habit alto-gether, we could save up to 75 million trees.

• For every 1 percent decrease in the Earth’s ozone layer, there is a 2 percent increase in the incidence of skin cancer in humans.

2nd Quarter 2010Week 23

May 30 - June 5Page 3

ENVIROMENT DAY(continued):• Public transportation produces 95 percent less

carbon monoxide (CO), 90 percent less volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and about half as much carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), per passenger mile as private vehicles. Energy-related car-bon dioxide emissions represent about 82 percent of the total U.S. human-made green-house emissions.

• Forty-nine percent of America’s electricity comes from burning coal. Sixty three percent of fossil fuel electricity comes from burning coal, 29 percent from burning natural gas and 9 percent from burning oil.

• The combustion of fossil fuels supplies over 40 percent of the electricity the entire world uses.

• It takes approximately 394 pounds (179 kg) of coal to keep a single 100-watt incandes-cent light bulb burning for 12 hours each day for one year.

• Currently, conventional incandescent lamps are in the process of being replaced with more energy-efficient lamps. Fluorescent light has been used for many years in

overhead fluorescent tubes without causing any problems. Nevertheless, certain “light sensitive” citizens’ associations have voiced concerns about compact fluorescent lamps.

• Every minute you cut from your shower is roughly 5 gallons (19 liters) of water saved. The less time your shower takes, the lower your impact on the environment.

• Lighters are usually considered disposable so they will most likely end up in land fills. You can use the cardboard matches that are more eco-friendly because they are made of recy-clable material.

Some people, especially those who live in cold climates, think it might be nice to have a warmer climate. But the consequences of that would be severe: The ice around the North Pole and South Pole would melt, the melted ice would cause sea levels to rise, people living near sea level might be flooded, and some places would become too hot to live in.

Everyone can help stop the greenhouse effect by using less energy, protecting and planting trees, and by recycling, so that factories don’t need to work as hard making things.

For StartersBy Tresa Erickson

For years, you worked alongside your grandfather in his garden and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. Now that your grandfather has decided to give up gar-dening, you’d like to continue the tra-dition in your own backyard. Here are some tips to ensure you get your veg-etable garden off to a good start.

Select the proper site for your garden. Vegetables require good soil, water and light. Take some samples of soil from the areas you are considering and have them tested. This will tell you what the pH of the soil is and what you need to do to adjust it. The ideal site would require very little amending. It would also have a spigot nearby, or better yet, a sprin-kler you can run on a timer. Don’t se-lect a site far away from the spigot and waste time running back and forth with

a watering can. Make sure the site you choose receives eight hours of full sun per day. Any less than that, and your vegetables may suffer.

Prep the site accordingly. Till up all of the grass and mix in some fertilizer and compost to enrich the soil. Slow-release, general-purpose fertilizer and a couple inches of compost are ideal. These will add nutrients to the soil and improve drainage. If you need to adjust the pH, you may add the amendments now. Wa-ter the soil thoroughly to help the fertil-izer dissolve into the soil.

Choose the right plants. Some veg-etables are easier to grow than others. Some are hardier than others. Some are more suited to areas than others. Find out what will work best for your situa-tion and select dis-ease-resistant vari-eties. Some of the easier options may

include car-rots, cucum-bers, green beans, herbs, lettuce, peas, p e p p e r s , s p i n a c h , squash and t o m a t o e s . You could plant seed, but since you are just begin-ning, you might have better results if you buy seedlings. Start off small with a few plants and add to your garden over time as you gain more experience and become more confident.

IT SEEMS THAT THE NEW MIDDLE CLASS 550cc MACHINES HAVE STARTED TO FIND THEIR GROOVE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SOME MANUFACTURERS STILL OFFER A 500cc MIDDLE WEIGHT. THERE ARE 2 THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING INTO THE LIGHT AND DO SOME STRAIGHT UP COMPARISON OF THE SPECS, AND FEATURES. AND LETS REMEMBER I AM COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE MACHINES ARE 550cc WITH E.P.S.(ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. LETS TAKE THE 550 GRIZZLY E.P.S. AND THE POLARIS SPORTSMAN 550 E.P.S AND BREAK EACH OF THESE MACHINES DOWN BY THE NUMBERS.FIRST THE ENGINE. YAMAHA’S ENGINE IS A 558cc SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM 4 VALVE HEAD, POLARIS’S ENGINE IS A 549cc SINGLE OVER HEAD CAM AND THE AMOUNT OF VALVES IN THE HEAD IS NOT POSTED SO I CAN’T SAY FOR SURE HOW MANY VALVES ARE IN THE HEAD. WELL JUST BY TAKING A LOOK AT THESE SPECS I THINK YAMAHA HAS A LITTLE BIT OF AND ADVANTAGE WITH JUST A SLIGHT LARGER ENGINE THAN THE POLARIS MODEL. NOW WE WILL MOVE TO THE RACKS AND CAPACITIES. IT SEEMS POLARIS HAS A ADVANTAGE OVER YAMAHA ON THE COMBINED FRONT AND REAR RACK CAPACITIES. TOTAL FOR THE POLARIS IS 360 AND TOTAL FOR THE YAMAHA IS 286. THE RACKS ON THE POLARIS SEEM TO BE SOME SORT OF HYBRID SET UP AS OPPOSED TO THE TRADITIONAL STYLE ON THE YAMAHA. I WILL LEAVE LIKE OR DON’T LIKE OF THE RACKS UP TO YOU. NEXT WE WILL COMPARE 4WD SYSTEM. THE YAMAHA HAS PUSH BUTTON ENGAGEMENT FOR BOTH 4WD AND DIFF LOC, WHICH LOCKS THE FRONT TIRES WITH THE REAR SO THAT ALL FOUR TIRES PULL AT THE SAME TIME. POLARIS OFFERS PUSH BUTTON ALL WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY WHEN THE REAR TIRES SLIP. SO THE MACHINE ACTUALLY DECIDES WHEN THE RIDER NEEDS 4WD AND NOT THE RIDER. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL AND UTILIZING ENGINE BRAKING IT SEEMS THAT WITH THE YAMAHA YOU CAN HAVE ALL 4 WHEELS DOING THE BRAKING FOR YOU AND

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE THE REAR 2 OF THE POLARIS BRAKING FOR YOU DUE TO THEIR “ALL WHEEL DRIVE” SYSTEM. IM PROBABLY GOING TO LEAN TOWARDS YAMAHA HAVING AND ADVANTAGE ON BOTH THE 4WD AND ENGINE BRAKING DEPARTMENT. ALL SPECS WERE GATHERD OFF OF BOTH MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE. TAKE A LOOK FOR YOUR SELF AND COMPARE AND SEE WHO HAS THE CLEAR ADVANTAGE. THANKS FOR READING. Article provided by John Moulton, Glenrock Motorsports

MEMORIAL DAYMemorial Day is a day of remembrance of those who have died serving our country. Tidbits sa-lutes the men and women of our armed forces who fought and who sacrificed their lives so that we could be free.

• Memorial Day has a long history. It began as a commemoration for those soldiers who died during the Civil War.

• Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, the head of the Grand Army of the Republic, established Decoration Day (later changed to Memorial Day) as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. He declared the day should be ob-served on May 30 because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

• Memorial Day was first celebrated on May 30, 1868. During the first national celebra-tion. General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which around 5,000 participants helped to decorate the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who were buried there.

• This first “official” celebration in 1868 was inspired by observances in several towns throughout America that had been going on since the end of the Civil War. Several Northern and Southern cities claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, but in 1966, the federal government declared Waterloo, N.Y., its official birthplace. Waterloo was chosen because it had made celebration of the day an annual event that involved the entire com-munity.

Acid rain, global warming and air pollution all result largely from cars and from the production of electricity in power plants. So, all three problems would be helped by driving cars more efficiently and by using energy wisely.

1. Up in the sky, above the air we breathe is a layer of gas. What is it called?

2. What is another name for global warming?

1. Give two examples of common household products that can’t be recycled.2. If every American recycled just one tenth of their newspapers, how many trees could be saved?3. Americans throw away about 40 billion of these a year. What are they?4. Water covers how much of the earth?

Some people, especially those who live in cold climates, think it might be nice to have a warmer climate. But the consequences of that would be severe: The ice around the North Pole and South Pole would melt, the melted ice would cause sea levels to rise, people living near sea level might be flooded, and some places would become too hot to live in.

JUNE ISNATIONAL DAIRY MONTH

birthstone: Pearl

Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.

Kilometers are shorter than miles. Save gas, take your next trip in kilometers.

Everyone can help stop the greenhouse effect by using less energy, protecting and planting trees, and by recycling, so that factories don’t need to work as hard making things.
