February 12 is the start of the Twenty-first Winter Olympics; for cold-weather sports fanatics it’s an every four year TV spec-tacular. This year, the setting is one of the most beautiful in the world, Vancou-ver, Canada. Tidbits this week, honors the Games with a look back.
The first time • a winter sport ap-peared in the Olym-pics was in the sum-mer games. Figure skating made its debut in the 1908 Summer Olympics. The top skaters were 10-time world champion Ulrich Salchow of Swe-den, who originated the backwards, one

the Lake Placid Olympics of 1980, it was later voted the greatest upset in hockey in the 20th Century. “Do you believe in miracles? Yes,” shouted TV broadcaster Al Michaels, who called the game. In ret-rospect, maybe it wasn’t so much of a miracle. Of the 20 players on the U.S. team, 13 eventually played in the Nation-al Hockey League. 1980 was not the first time the United • States achieved Olympic hockey gold. The less publicized—but no less mirac-ulous—1960 U.S. men’s hockey team also shocked the world with its stunning victory in Squaw Valley, Calif.Curling — think shuffleboard on ice — • debuted in the 1924 Olympics. It came back in the 1932 Lake Placid Games as a demonstration sport, then went on a 56-year Olympic hiatus. It was brought back as an official medal sport at the 1998 Nagano, Japan Games.
THE VANCOUVER GAMES (continued)The very first “Winter Sports Week” was • an 11-day event, which included nordic skiing, speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey and bobsledding. It was a huge success and was later called the first Olympic Winter Games.Not surprisingly, no country in the South-• ern Hemisphere has ever hosted a Win-ter Games.U.S. Speed skater Bonnie Blair has won • six medals at the Olympic Winter Games. That’s more than any other American athlete.Nobody has won more medals at the • Winter Games than cross-country skier Bjorn Dählie of Norway, who has 12.Norwegian Sonja Henie won her first • gold medal at the 1928 Olympics and at the next three Olympics. No female fig-ure skater could compete with her, she was that good. Sonja Henie’s • grace and style sets a new standard for figure skat-ing. And she was young. At 15 years, 10 months, Henie was, at the time, the youngest woman ever to win a gold medal. The 1940 Games, in Sapporo, Japan, • and 1944 Winter Games, scheduled for Corina d’Amerzzo, in Italy, were can-celled due to World War II.Seventy years after those first cold • weather Games, the 17th edition of the Winter Olympics took place in Lilleham-mer, Norway, in 1994. The event ended the four-year Olympic cycle of staging both Winter and Summer Games in the same year and began a new schedule that calls for the two Games to alternate every two years.The Soviet Union (USSR) participated • in its first Winter Olympics in 1956, and took home the most medals, including the gold medal in ice hockey.It takes two: 1968 East Germany and • West Germany officially send separate teams for the first time and continued to do so through 1988. After East and West Germany’s unifi-• cation, the country finally sent a single team in 1990.
Thanks, but no thanks: The International • Olympics Committee granted the 1976 Winter Games to Denver in May 1970. But wait a minute: in 1972 Colorado vot-ers reject a $5 million bond issue to fi-nance the undertaking. Denver immedi-ately withdraws as host and Innsbruck, Austria is chosen as the site of the 1964 Games. Why the change in cycle? The IOC • moved the Winter Games’ four-year cy-cle in order to separate them from the Summer Games and alternate Olympics every two years.The Olympic flag’s colors of red, black, • blue, green and yellow rings on a field of white are there because at least one of those colors appears on the flag of every nation on the planet.Number one: The U.S. was the first • country to win a Winter Olympic event. Speed skater Charles Jewtraw won the first event of the Games with an upset in the 500 meters. U.S. figure skater Tara Lipinski, 15, be-• came the youngest woman to win a gold medal at the Winter Games. Sonja Henie would have been proud.After earning her Olympic gold medal • in 1968, Peggy Fleming starred in sev-eral television specials and performed in numerous skating exhibitions across the U.S.A. She was also been a popu-lar commentator for ABC Sports, often working with fellow Olympic champ Dick Button. Jean Claude Killy, the brilliant 24-year-• skier, already a world champion, excit-ed the world again at the 1968 Winter Games in Grenoble, France, by winning gold medals in all three Alpine skiing events, thus becoming only the second skier to ever accomplish that feat; Aus-tria’s Toni Sailer did it in 1956. Miracle on Ice: After a group of U.S. • amateur hockey players beat the invin-cible Soviet Union hockey machine at

On • Feb. 14, 278 A.D., Valentine, a holy priest in Rome, is executed. Ruler Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military because of their strong attachment to their wives, and had banned marriages. Valentine had continued to perform marriages in secret and was beheaded for it.
On • Feb. 11, 1858, in southern France, Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old French peasant girl, first claims to have seen the Virgin Mary. The apparitions, which totaled 18 before the end of the year, occurred in a grotto of a rock promontory near Lourdes, France.
On • Feb. 13, 1914, The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) is formed in New York. This was the first U.S. group to help protect copyrighted music against illegal public performances for profit.
On • Feb. 12, 1934, Bill Russell, the legendary center for the Boston Celtics during the 1960s, is born in Monroe, La. During his 13-year career with the Celtics, the 6-foot-9-inch Russell helped the team to 11 NBA championships.
On • Feb. 8, 1943, Japanese troops evacuate Guadalcanal, leaving the South Pacific island in Allied possession after a prolonged campaign. The American victory halted Japanese expansion and paved the way for further Allied gains in the Solomon Islands.
On • Feb. 10, 1962, American spy-plane pilot Francis Gary Powers is released by the Soviets in exchange for Soviet Col.

On • Feb. 9, 1973, Max Yasgur, owner of the 600-acre dairy farm in New York where the original Woodstock took place in August 1969, dies in Florida. More than 400,000 people attended the three-day music festival.

The Problem is the Hearing Loss55 million Americans (one out of every 5 people) have some form of hearing loss. Contrary to popularmisconception, hearing loss affects people of all ages.That is because in most cases, hearing loss is caused byrepeated exposure to harmful noise levels.
As with most health problems early detection of hearingloss offers the best hope of finding treatment that willslow the deterioration of hearing loss or at least helpcompensate for it. Unfortunately, most individuals wait7-10 years before solving their hearing problem.
Early detection also leads to a more ready acceptance ofthe hearing loss and to eventual use of hearing aids tocompensate for the loss. When this is done, maintainingsocial contact is not interrupted as it often is

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your natural Arian leadership qualities make you the per-son others will follow in tackling that important project. But don’t get so involved in the work that you neglect your personal life.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects fa-vor sorting through your possessions, both at work and at home, to start giving away what you don’t use, don’t need or don’t like. Relax later with someone special.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The issues are not quite as clear as they should be. That’s why you need to avoid getting involved in dis-putes between colleagues at work or between relatives or personal friends.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll get lots of support from others if you own up to your mistake quickly and include a full and honest explanation. Learn from this experience so that you don’t repeat it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some early confusion over a major move, whether it’s at work or at home. But once you get a full breakdown of what it entails, it should be easier to deal with. Good luck.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creat-ing order out of chaos, even in the most untidy spaces, should be no problem for organized Virgos. So go ahead and do it, and then ac-cept praise from impressed colleagues.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Whether it’s for business purposes or just for leisure, a trip might be just what you need right now. You would benefit both from a change of scenery and from meeting new people.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While things generally go well this week, a romantic situation seems to have stalled. But you can restart it if you want to. Then again, maybe this is a chance to reassess the situ-ation.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A meeting that was promised quite a while back could finally happen. So be sure you’re prepared with everything you’ll need to make your case sound convincing and doable.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace blunder could create a problem down the line unless you deal with it right now to see how and why it happened. Don’t be surprised at what you might learn.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This is a good time to re-sort your priorities and see if adjustments are called for. Be hon-est with yourself as you decide what to keep, what to discard and what to change.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Letting yourself be bathed in the outpouring of love and support from those who care for you will help you get through a difficult period sooner rather than later. Good luck.BORN THIS WEEK: You have an uncanny gift for reaching out to all people and creating bridges of understanding among them.

It was American journalist, author and • humorist Don Marquis who made the fol-lowing sage observation: “Procrastina-tion is the art of keeping up with yester-day.”A giant carnivorous plant has recently • been discovered on a remote mountain-top in the Philippines. The second larg-est pitcher plant on record, nepenthes at-tenboroughii secretes a nectar that lures insects, frogs and even rats into its trap, where enzymes and acids break down the animal and digest it.There has been a lot of debate about • whether older drivers should be required to pass driving tests in order to renew their licenses, with failing sight and di-minished judgment being cited as rea-sons for the more stringent requirement. However, statistics tend to indicate that, as a group, teenagers are the more dan-gerous drivers, with their auto-accident death rate roughly triple that of the el-derly.If you’re thinking about going back to • school during this economic downturn, you might want to consider working to-ward a master’s degree in business ad-ministration. The average salary increase enjoyed by new MBA holders is a whop-ping 64 percent.The men’s formal attire known as the • tuxedo takes its name from the Tuxedo Park Club in New York, where the cloth-ing first became popular. The word itself is derived from the Algonquian word for wolf.The man who holds the world record for • running 100 meters and 200 meters, and who has won three Olympic gold med-als, is a Jamaican by the name of Usain Bolt. Yes, Bolt.The Zagat restaurant rating system re-• cently conducted a survey of Americans’ tipping habits. The results? It seems that residents of Philadelphia are the most generous tippers in the nation, leaving an average of 19.6 percent. The average across the country is 19 percent.
Thought for the Day: Thought for the Day: “People who have no weaknesses are terrible; there is no way of taking advantage of them.” -- Anatole FranceWEEKLY ANSWERS
An elderly man went to the doctor for a visit. “Doc,” he says, “I am so stricken. I have chest pains, headaches, back pains, nausea, arthritis, constipation, stomach cramps, earaches, burning in the eyes, congested lungs...” “Sir,” says the doctor, “you complain you have so many things. What don’t you have?” The man answers, “Teeth.”One day, a man walks into a dentist’s office and asks how much it will cost to extract wisdom teeth. “Eighty dollars,” the dentist says. “That’s a ridiculous amount,” the man says. “Isn’t there a cheaper way?” “Well,” the dentist says, “if you don’t use an anesthetic, I can knock the price down to $60.” “That’s still too expensive,” the man says. “Okay,” says the dentist. “If I save on anesthesia and simply rip the teeth out with a pair of pliers, I can knock the price down to $20.” “Nope,” moans the man, “it’s still too much.” “Well,” says the dentist, scratch-ing his head, “if I let one of my students do it, I suppose I can knock the price down to $10.” “Marvelous,” says the man, “book my wife for next Tuesday!”Son: Dad, I heard that in China, a man doesn’t know his wife until he marries. Fa-ther: That happens everywhere, son, ev-erywhere!Police Chief: As a recruit, you’ll be faced with some difficult issues. What would you do if you had to arrest your mother? New Recruit: Call for backup!Harvey and Gladys are getting ready for bed. Gladys is standing in front of her full-length mirror, taking a long, hard look at herself? “You know, Harvey,” she com-ments. “I stare into this mirror and I see an
ancient creature. My face is all wrinkled, my boobs sag so much that they dangle to my waist, my arms and legs are as flabby as popped balloons, and...my butt looks like a sad, deflated version of the Hindenburg! ”She turns to face her husband and says, “Dear, please tell me just one positive thing about my body so I can feel better about myself.” Harvey studies Gladys critically for a moment and then says in a soft, thought-ful voice, “Well, there’s nothing wrong with your eyesight.” He never heard the shot.Maurice, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor for his physical. A few days lat-er the doctor saw Maurice walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm. A couple of days later the doctor spoke to Maurice and said, “You’re really dong great, aren t you?” Maurice replied, “Just doing what you said, Doc: Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.”The doctor said, “I did not say that. I said, ‘You got a heart murmur. Be careful.’” You know it’s going to be a bad day when your teenager knocks on your bedroom door first thing in the morning and says, “Today is Nerd Day at school, Dad. Can I borrow some of your clothes?”I dialed a number and got the following re-cording: “I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the chang-es.”A three-year old put his shoes on by him-self. His mother noticed the left was on the right foot. She said, “Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet.” He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, “Don’t kid me, Mom. I KNOW they’re my feet.”After she woke up, a woman told her hus-band, “I just dreamed that you gave me a pearl necklace for our anniversary. What do you think it means?” “You’ll know tonight.” he said. That evening, the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it to find a book en-titled, “The Meaning of Dreams.”One night my father woke himself up with a loud “Hello!” to someone in his dream. As the next day came and went, Dad thought the nocturnal outburst was his alone to re-member. But that night, as he and Mom were getting ready for bed, she said dryly, “If you see anyone you know tonight, just wave.”

Be Fiscally Smart—Know Your Numbers
(NAPS)—Just as blood pressure, weight, body mass index (BMI) and cholesterol count are numbers you need to know to be healthy, there are important numbers for fiscal fitness, too. Your account balances, credit card limits and interest rate, credit score, and retirement savings add up to form a picture of your financial health. Think numbers are mind numbing? Think again. Your financial institution can help with online tools and advice to shape up your wallet and your funds for the future.Account BalancesIt’s important to keep your checking account balanced so you don’t spend more than you have. Before you withdraw money, write a check or use your debit card— know your balance. Most financial service providers let you check your balance by phone, online, at an ATM or at a banking location. If you bank online or with your mobile device, by setting up e-mail and text alerts, you’ll always know when you are close to your limit. Credit Card BalanceEvery credit card has its limit. If you find yourself using more than two cards, you may be spending more than you can afford.
If you have multiple cards with different balances, talk to your primary bank about consolidating your debt to get one interest rate. Credit ScoreCredit scores are a vital part of your financial health. They help lenders and others predict how likely you are to make payments on time. Credit scores affect whether you can get credit and what you pay for it. You can learn about and keep track of important numbers, auto loans, mortgages and other kinds of credit through many financial service providers.The single most effective thing that you can do to improve your credit score is to pay your bills on time. Also, be aware that you will have a better score if you regularly use no more than 25 percent of your total credit, compared to 50 percent.Know How Much You Need To RetireRetirement planning has to be an ongoing process. It’s never too late to revisit the objectives and strategies you set for your retirement plan. People should plan for what they need for a 30-year period (and that time could be longer for women), in which they may not be employed full-time. To prepare for this, people need to save, and they need to figure out how they want to replace their paycheck for the later years
in life.How To Get StartedGo to your bank’s Web site or a branch and speak with an expert about personal financial management tools. For example, Wells Fargo’s online Smarter Credit resource center has information, tips and tools to help you take charge and improve your credit, and its Retirement Center can help you plan and get on track for your retirement.Learn MoreGo online www.handsonbanking.org to learn more about how to take charge of your own finances and reach your goals.Many financial service providers help you learn and keep track of important numbers.
