TURKEYS

by Kathy Wolfe ‘Tis the season, as they say, so this week, Tidbits is wondering just how much you know about the turkey, one of our favorite meals over the holidays.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture tells us that about 45 million turkeys will be cooked in America for Thanksgiving, about 17% of all the turkeys sold throughout the year. Close to 250 million turkeys are raised in the U.S. annually.

• The Meleagris gallopavo is the wild turkey from which our domesticated turkey is descended. There are six subspecies of wild turkeys, including the Gallopavo silvestris, or forest turkey, the most numerous of all turkeys, more than five million birds. The turkey is the only poultry native to North America.

• Because domesticated turkeys have been bred to have large breasts for cooking purposes, they are top-heavy and unable to fly. However, wild turkeys can fly as fast as 55 mph and they even roost in the treetops at night to avoid predators.

Wild birds can also run up to a speed of 25 mph. The domestic bird will weigh about twice as much as the wild one. turn the page for more!

Helping Hand

(cont'd):

• During the 1930s, excessive hunting brought the wild turkey population down to about 30,000. A wildlife restoration project was instituted, and today, there are an estimated 7 million wild turkeys across the nation.

• Are you familiar with all the turkey terms? That flap of skin that hangs over a turkey’s beak is known as a snood. Brightly-colored fleshy bumps on a turkey’s head and throat are called caruncles. Both the snood and caruncles turn bright red when the bird becomes frightened or agitated. The wattle, that flap of skin under the turkey’s chin, also changes to bright scarlet on a male in the midst of mating season. Although we frequently hear males referred to as toms, they are also known as gobblers, because of the distinctive noise they make to announce their presence to females. A baby turkey is known as a poult or a chick, and of course, the female is called a hen.

• Speaking of gobbling, in addition to the familiar gobble, a male turkey can make more than 30 different vocal sounds, including purrs, yelps, and keekees, distinctive and unique enough to be recognized by his fellow males. A gobble can be heard a mile away. Female turkeys aren’t nearly so vocal, usually making a clicking noise.

• There are obvious differences in the outward appearances between males and females, with the male having a featherless bright red head and a body of red, bronze, and gold feathers. The female’s head is grayish-blue and her plumage is mostly a drab brown with a few feathers on the neck and head for camouflage. The adult male also has a beard, a cluster of feathers on the center of its breast, feathers than can be more than 7 inches long.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle

Doing the Right Thing I just read a recent story that captured my heart. It involves a 19 year old college basketball player who has inoperable brain cancer. The NCAA gave special permission for two colleges to begin play before the normal season starting date. The results of “doing the right thing” filled an arena, a state, a nation, and a world that is in desperate need of hope and purpose. The cloud of an act of kindness rains and soaks those who are fortunate enough to be under it. This is an example of crosspollinating with corporate America, the beaurocracy of higher educational institutions, the council of medical doctors, and the will and desire of a young, determined athlete. When we come together to do the right thing, barriers become bridges and bridges become a path to walk and live each day as it is meant to be. Doing the right thing gives us a get off the hamster wheel jail free card. This 19 year old girl turned a death sentence into a live lesson. This live lesson is what we need to live each day, as it is our beginning not our end.

TURKEYS

(cont'd):

• Turkey gender can also be determined in a rather unusual way – by observing their droppings. A male’s droppings are spiral-shaped, while a female produces droppings shaped like the letter J. • Turkeys have excellent hearing, able to determine sounds up to a mile away, but oddly enough, have no external ears. They hear through small holes in the head directly behind the eyes. The birds have periscopic vision, with eyes on the sides of the head, able to achieve a 360-degree field of vision.

• The male turkey has sharp bony spikes on the back of its lower legs, used as a method of defense. You can determine a turkey’s age by measuring the length of these spurs. A one-year-old can have spurs of 7/16”, while two-year-olds’ spurs range from ½” to 15/16”. The spurs on a five-year-old turkey are from 1.5” to 2.25” in length.

• During mating season, the male turkey fluffs out his feathers, fans out his tail feathers, and drags his wings when he walks. This little performance is called strutting.

• When it’s time for the female hen to lay eggs, she’ll lay about 12 eggs at the rate of one per day in just under two weeks.

Those eggs will incubate about 28 days before hatching.

• What’s in that little plastic bag found in your turkey’s empty body cavity when you bring it home from the store? That bag contains the giblets, which are the turkey’s edible internal parts, including the gizzard, heart, liver, and neck. The gizzard is part of the turkey’s stomach, containing tiny stones that help grind up food in the digestion process. Some cooks chop up the giblets to add to the gravy or stuffing, but in all probability, most giblets end up in the dog’s dish!

You may have heard it said that eating turkey can make you drowsy. It's true that turkey meat contains an amino acid called tryptophan that the body uses in the production of serotonin. Serotonin in turn helps us sleep. But turkey isn't alone in the tryptophan department. All meat has about the same amount, and cheddar cheese has even more, as do nuts and shellfish.

Social Security COLA Increase: 1.7 Percent

You’ve likely heard that our Social Security increase for 2015 will be only 1.7 percent. Last year, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 1.5 percent, so it’s a small improvement.

But here is how that translates into real money: The average monthly increase will be $20.

Here are a few items from the Bureau of Labor Statistics chart: During 2014, food went up 3 percent.

(Of that, beef has gone up 17.8 percent since January. Dairy has gone up 10 times in the past 11 months. All meats, poultry, fish and eggs have increased 9.4 percent this year.) Utilities went up 3.5 percent. Medical care commodities went up 2.9 percent. Medical care services went up 1.7 percent.

The net loss of those dollars is in our current buying power. The loss will be made worse down the road because of compounding. Dollars we don’t get now can’t be compounded in years to come. Seniors League has a calculator to determine the long-lasting impact of this low COLA. Go to seniorsleague.org and enter your figures. It will show you the dollar loss over time.

COLA became mandatory in 1975.

The yearly increase or decrease is based on the Consumer Price Index, which includes food, shelter, doctor and dentists, drugs and other day-today goods and services, with figures collected every month in 87 urban areas. Since 2010, the increase has averaged 1.4 percent per year. In two recent years it didn’t increase at all.

If this low COLA for 2015 keeps you from being able to quit work, remember that you can earn $15,720 before it starts taking $1 out of your benefits for every $2 you earn. If you’re ready to turn 66 next year, that earning limit will be $41,880 before it takes $1 for every $3 you earn.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

FEMALE VOCALISTS

This week, Tidbits looks at four dynamic Canadian female vocalists who have all hit the charts in a big way.

• Ontario country singer Shania Twain began life as Eilleen Regina Edwards, and was raised in near poverty. She was adopted by stepfather Jerry Twain, a member of the Ojibwa tribe, and took on the first name of Shania, said to be a translation from that language as “I’m on my way.” She began singing in bars at age 8 to help the family make ends meet, wrote her first song at age 10, and appeared on CBS television at 13. From her humble beginnings, Twain has gone on to have sales of 85 million albums, has earned five Grammy Awards, and has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

• Although Ontario native Avril Lavigne is just 30 years old, she has already sold more than 30 million albums and 50 million singles. By age 16, she had already appeared on stage with Shania Twain, and had a $2 million recording contract in her pocket. She’s also a songwriter for other artists, having co-written the mega-hit “Breakaway” recorded by Kelly Q: If fruit comes fruit tree, where doesfilms, Clarkson.

Shefrom has abranched out into turkey acome from? for a character in the doing voice-over 2006 animated film Over the Hedge, and appeared in Fast Food Nation. She has two A: A poul-tree! perfumes on department store shelves, and has launched her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn. Avril (whose name means April in French) gives back to the world through the foundation she founded that funds Easter Seals and Make-A-Wish, helping children and youth with serious illnesses.

• Anne Murray paved the way for other female Canadian singers, as the first Canadian female to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts. Her single “Snowbird” was one of North America’s most played songs of 1970, and earned her an American gold record, another first for a Canadian female.
