by Kathy Wolfe It’s National Apple Week, and there’s no better time for Tidbits to take a look at one of the world’s favorite fruits! • There are more than 7,500 known varieties of apples, each with its own specific characteristics and qualities. Some are tart, some are sweet. Some are meant for eating fresh, some for cooking, and still others for cider production. • The Malus domestica, the apple tree, originated in eastern Turkey. More apples are grown in China than any other nation, about half of the world’s supply. The United States is a distant second, producing about 5% of the world’s apples, while Turkey is in third place. About 70 million tons of apples are grown worldwide annually. • When the Pilgrims arrived in North America in the 17th century, they discovered crabapples, but disliked their sour and woody taste. The colonists requested that seeds and cuttings be sent from England on subsequent voyages, and North America’s first apple orchard was planted in Boston in 1625. During the early 1800s, Massachusetts native John Chapman traveled across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois planting apple trees, and became known as Johnny Appleseed. turn the page for more!

ALL ABOUT APPLES (continued):
• In 1820, a London sea captain brought seeds to North America’s western coast, the origin of the state of Washington’s apple crop, the largest in the U.S. More than 60% of America’s apple crop of 220,000,000 bushels are grown in Washington. That’s a lot of apples, considering that one bushel is 48 lbs! • Although we think of Eve convincing Adam to eat a forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden, the Bible’s Book of Genesis does not actually identify the fruit as an apple. It refers to it as the fruit of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” In ancient languages, the word “apple” was used as a generic term for any round fruit that grew on a tree, bringing about the common misconception that Eve was tempted with an apple. • Apples were associated with pagan religious practices and as mythological symbols. Norse mythology portrays apples as a source of eternal youthfulness, while Greek and Roman myths refer to the fruit as a symbol of love and beauty. Remains of apples have been found in the graves of early Germanic people • The Jonathan apple is mostly red with patches of lime green. There are differences of opinion as to how this variety got its name. Some say an Ohio woman, Rachel Higley, was responsible for discovering it in 1804, and cultivating an orchard of this tart fruit, naming it after her husband Jonathan. Others claim it was first discovered in 1826 in Woodstock, New York, and was named after Jonathan Hasbrouck, who first introduced the fruit. • The McIntosh apple has its origins in Canada, discovered by John McIntosh on his Ontario farm in 1811.

School lunches are not generally popular with those that have to eat them, and sometimes with good reason. "What kind of pie do you call this?" asked one schoolboy. "What's it taste like?" asked the cook. "Glue!" said the schoolboy. Cook said "Then it's apple pie, the plum pie tastes of soap."

APPLES (continued):
• The flavor of the Golden Delicious apple varies depending on the climate. When grown in a cool climate, the amount of acid increases, resulting in a sweeter taste, while in a warmer climate, the acid quantity is lower, and the apple has a milder flavor. This variety was first discovered on a West Virginia farm in 1890 and was known as the Mullins Yellow Seedling for 25 years before being renamed. The Golden Delicious has been used as a parent to develop several other varieties including the Gala, Ambrosia, Pink lady, and Jonagold. • The number of apples imported from New Zealand is increasing every year. The popular Braeburn apple was developed there in 1952, and another favorite, the Gala, was cultivated in New Zealand beginning in the 1970s. • The phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a common one. But where did it originate? The first recorded use of the old proverb is in the 1860s in a Pembrokeshire, Wales, publication in a little different form: “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.” • It’s certainly true that apples help keep a person healthy. They are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that keep the body on track. Their supply of Vitamin C helps the body resist infection and disease, while an apple’s B-complex vitamins are vital to a healthy metabolism. Its potassium content aids in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. • Apples are full of fiber, about 4 grams in a medium-size fruit. Research has shown that those who eat high-fiber foods have a higher protection against Parkinson’s Disease and high cholesterol. Teacher: "Who knows what comes after 8, 9, 10? Little Tucker: "Jack, Queen, King."

APPLES (continued):
• How about some positive percentages? The American Association for Cancer Research tells us that eating apples can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by up to 23%. Women who eat one apple every day are 28% less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, while other studies indicate that the apple’s antioxidants contribute to a 15% reduced likelihood of developing cataracts. • Pregnant women who regularly consume apples are less likely to have children with asthma. Apple eaters have better lung function. Apples can even aid in preventing tooth decay by stimulating the production of saliva, which lowers the levels of the mouth’s bacteria. And they’re low in calories – about 95 in one medium-sized apple. With all these health benefits, why wouldn’t we all want to have an apple a day? • Apples also have their place in folklore. Legend has it that if you can peel an apple in one long strip, then toss it backwards over your left shoulder, the shape made by the peel will be the initial of your future spouse. An old wives’ tale says that warts can be cured by cutting an apple into the number of pieces equal to the number of warts. Rub each apple piece on a wart, then bury the pieces. As the fruit rots in the ground, the warts are said to disappear. During Yuletide, many cultures engage in the ancient custom of wassailing the apple trees to drive away bad luck and ensure a good harvest. Farmers choose one tree, and the village folk gather round it, drinking to the tree with cider. Cider is also thrown over the roots, followed by placing a piece of bread soaked in cider into a fork of the tree’s branches. STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who made the following sage observation: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” ● Play-Doh was originally marketed as a wallpaper cleaner. It wasn’t until kids started using it as modeling material that the company saw its potential in the toy market. ● Those who study such things say that when bears, squirrels and other mammals hibernate, the flow of oxygen to their brains can drop by as much as 98 percent. ● In 1955, just a few weeks before he was killed in a car crash, actor James Dean made a commercial aimed at teenagers. The subject? Auto safety. In the ad he says, “Drive safely. The life you save may be mine.” ● You’ve surely heard of the long-distance buses known as Greyhounds, but you might not be aware of the company’s humble origins. In 1914, a car dealer named Carl Eric Wickman ran a car dealership in Minnesota. When business was slow, he used one of the unsold cars to offer rides between the towns of Alice and Hibbing to miners going to work. The idea was so profitable that Wickman opened long-distance routes within two years. He painted the vehicles gray in order to hide the road dust, prompting a hotel owner along one route to comment that the cars looked like greyhound dogs. Wickman liked the idea so much he started using the slogan “Ride the Greyhounds,” and the rest is business history. ● If you’re like the average American, you drink only one-sixth as much wine as the average French citizen .(c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

SQUIRRELS
October is Squirrel Awareness Month. How much do you know about this family of rodents? Follow along and see! • Scuiridae is a family of small or mediumsize rodents that includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, woodchucks, gophers, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are the largest group of living mammals, with over 360 species making up 40% of all mammal species. • The word “squirrel” has its origins in the ancient Greek language from the word Skiouros, which translates “shadow-tailed.”
• The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel with a length of just 2.8 to 3.9 inches and a weight of 0.35 oz. The largest, the Alpine marmot, living high in the Alps and Pyrenees, grows up to 29 inches long, and can weigh 18 lbs. • In order to remain healthy, an adult squirrel must eat about a pound of food every week. The average squirrel enjoys a diet of nuts, seeds, and fruit, but will consume bird eggs, bugs, and even the dead body of another animal in a pinch. The brain of most squirrels is about the size of a walnut. • The body of a squirrel has many unique characteristics. Its very large eyes give it an excellent sense of vision. Because the eyes are high and on the side of the head, the animal has a wide field of vision without having to turn its head. A squirrel can also rotate its hind feet 180 degrees at the ankle, which enables it to easily descend a tree head first. It also has special whiskers known as vibrissae on its head and limbs, which gives the squirrel an exceptional sense of touch.
• Squirrels are the cleanest animal in the rodent family, taking a long time to perform grooming tasks. Surprisingly, the male takes twice as long as the female to groom itself. • They’re also loners, with adult squirrels normally living alone. When it gets extremely cold, they will allow other squirrels into their nests to conserve body heat, but as soon as it warms up, it’s back to their solitary lifestyle. • If you see a squirrel leaving wet footprints on a sidewalk, it must be a hot day. The sweat glands are located in the pads of the feet, and the tiny footprints are the product of perspiration. • Ever wonder how a squirrel finds the nuts it buries? Before it buries the nut, the squirrel licks the nut to apply its personal scent to it, enabling the rodent to sniff it out when hunger strikes.
• That big fluffy tail isn’t just for show. Squirrels often use their tails as a signaling device to communicate. • Don’t worry about contracting rabies from a squirrel bite, because rabies is practically unknown in squirrels. There is no record of a human getting rabies from a squirrel bite. However, a squirrel bite is nothing to take casually. Some species have a bite force of 7,000 lbs. per square inch. How strong is that? Compare it to the human, whose bite force is around 500 lbs. per square inch. The squirrel’s teeth are always growing, due to the constant wear on them. Incisors grow about six inches per year.

Boot Camp 3 We continue to put on our spiritual armor in recognizing that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against spirits of evil that pollute our heads, hearts and hands. We talked about securing our core with the belt of truth and protecting our vital organs with the breastplate of righteousness. Today we focus on our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace and the helmet of salvation. The warriors legs are covered from the knees to the feet and the feet are protected and have 1 to 3 inch spikes at the bottom of the souls to allow the soldier to be firmly planted and/or to navigate difficult terrain. The helmet is the last piece of body armor we put on before going to battle. Our head is most vulnerable to injury and the helmet protects us and gives us identity to what team we belong to. It also helps insulate the body from inclement weather. With our core supported, our vital organs protected, and our legs and feet firmly planted, we have the helmet of salvation to protect our thoughts from contamination of evil. We also have our identity with the big letter J in our faith. And, we have an insulation of the Holy Spirit to help control our emotions and mental dysfunctions associated with evil.
