A TEMPTING TIDBITS THANKSGIVING TREAT: TENDER TURKEY TRIVIA by Robyn Dawson The bird is the word in this week’s edition of Tidbits. Take a break from your raking and shopping and baking and cleaning (oh no, the in-laws are coming!) while we “talk turkey.” • You may have heard that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird, but that’s not entirely true. Rather, he thought that any bird – and then mentioned the turkey as an example – was a better choice than the eagle. In a letter to his daughter, he made reference to the eagle’s “bad moral character. It perches in a tree,” he continued, “then steals the prey caught by a fishing hawk, because the eagle is too lazy to hunt for itself.” • The slang use of the word “turkey” to indicate some thing as being inferior or a failure dates back to late 1920s show business. In vaudeville, an act that failed to sell tickets (or one that was lame enough to be booed off stage) was labeled a “turkey,” presumably due to the bird’s reputation for stupidity. • The “Turkey Trot” was all the rage at dance halls during the very early 1900s. Performed to ragtime music, the dance was done with four sideways hopping steps on one foot, then four hops back on the other foot. • The Navajo were likely the first Native Americans to domesticate the turkey. They worked to keep wild turkeys away from their crops, but were losing that battle. So they turned the tables and fenced the birds in. By feeding and fattening them, they were easier to handle (and yielded more meat). Besides dinner, turkeys also provided turn the page for more

TENDER TURKEY TRIVIA (continued): decorative ornamental feathers for the Navajo. • Butterball turkeys have been a holiday tradition in the United States for the past 50 years. Many home cooks are under the impression that the name means that the bird had been injected with butter, but this is not the case. Butterball is actually a specific breed of turkey. They have all-white feathers and have extrabroad breasts. A few weeks after sales peak in America, Butterball becomes the best-selling brand in Great Britain at Christmas. (Remember, our U.K. friends don’t celebrate America’s Thanksgiving!) • Roasted turkey drumsticks are staple snacks at Renaissance Festivals across America. The turkey is native to North America, however, and it didn’t make its way across the Atlantic until the mid-16th century. The bottom line is that turkey is not authentic medieval food. Back in those days, kings and knaves and knights feasted on peacock and swan, neither of which is readily available in most American restaurant supply stores. • Caruncle, Wattle & Snood… no, this isn’t the name of a law firm. Those are the proper terms for the bits of fleshy skin that grow on a turkey’s head. The snood is the flap that flops over its beak. The caruncles are the colorful growths on the throat, and the wattle is the skin that hangs under its throat. When all three turn bright red, the turkey is either sexually excited or very angry. In either case, you’ll want to stay out of its way! • Only male turkeys – known as toms – make the “gobble, gobble” noise we associate with the birds. Females (hens) make a clicking noise. Like chickens, domestic turkeys are bred for meat, so their weight and shape prevent them from having the ability to fly more than a few feet. Even though they can’t fly, however, turkey by-products are very well traveled. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin tore into their first meal on the surface of the Moon in July 1969, those foil packets offered roast turkey with all the trimmings.

Loan Modification - The Reason for it…… I have a firm belief in home ownership. This is the corner stone of every community. As a home owner we take pride in not only our home but our neighborhood and our community. A home that has a family in it – is paying property taxes and benefiting our local economy and our public services. The home that sits empty causes two problems – they bring down ‘your’ market value and they bring blight to the neighborhood. Being a home owner gives us a sense of pride and commitment. I also want to state - I believe that going to a professional is still the way to approach buying a home for any purpose. We may not want to embrace the loan modification theory; but the benefit is that someone cares enough to continue to find a way to keep their home and stay in it. The lenders in hind sight see this as a better solution than adding another empty home to the glut of homes that already exists. They would have benefited by working with those that wanted to “work out” a solution before they fell into a foreclosure. Originally the lenders would not work with anyone that was not late (hardship was default of payments). But now many lenders are working with those that have a hardship that may come from a variety of reasons and the market value is being evaluated in this decision with the understanding that this is undergone significant changes also. This is a good time to still become a home owner or to prepare to become one. It is also a good time to look at homes as an investment; one) property may be more solvent than other options in today’s market; and two) as a rental – the home is no longer empty and can sold to a prospective homeowner in the future. All in all keeping our communities stabilized and productive and maintaining home ownership for our local area. by Christine Orchard Sterling Home Mortgage 574-9250

How to Correct a Pet Owner Contact Lu 541-921-7281 and start making a Q: My son and his girlfriend have two Pomeranians. difference! One is an 8-year-old female, “Sassy,” which the girlfriend had before they got together. The other is a male, “Junior,” now about 21 months old. Junior is considered my son’s dog, and he disciplines him by flipping him over on his back and scolding him. Now the dog growls and bares his teeth at my son if he comes near him. The dog was very loving at first. What do you think about this, and how can it be fixed? -- Rod S., via e-mail A: It’s clear that you don’t approve of the way your son disciplines his dog, and I agree with you -- that’s a terrible way to correct a dog. There are ways to show dominance without threatening your pet. Part of the issue is that Junior is a Pomeranian, a breed that can be quite temperamental. Pomeranians also can become very neurotic in the wrong kind of environment. Certainly, not all Pomeranians are ill-tempered and neurotic, but they are small dogs -- energetic and excitable -- that often don’t tolerate lots of people or loud noises. I don’t have a lot of advice for you, unfortunately. Junior has some issues, but there are no clear signs of neglect or abuse. And your son probably will not listen to advice you have to give -- he might even be insulted that you think he’s treating Junior wrong. The best that you can do is lead by example. When visiting, be very calm and soothing around Junior. If the dog’s behavior interferes with your visit, kindly ask your son to place Junior in another room until the visit is over. If you have a dog, treat him or her as you normally would whenever your son visits, but don’t preach. I guarantee he is
watching how you treat your dog.
