by Kathy Wolfe There is something for just about everyone during the month of October. Take a look at several things to celebrate this month.

• October was officially declared National Popcorn Poppin’ Month in 1999 by thenSecretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman.

Popcorn is a member of the maize family along with five other types of corn – pod, sweet, flour, dent, and flint. However, only popcorn pops. A kernel has the potential to pop up to 3 feet in the air.

A cup of air-popped popcorn is definitely your best choice – this snack has just 31 calories, compared to 55 calories for popcorn popped in oil. Lightly butter that cup of popcorn and the count zooms up to 133 calories.

• Undomesticated feral hogs have made such a name for themselves that October has been proclaimed Feral Hog Month, also called Hog Out Month. Feral hogs are much meaner than farmyard hogs and are well-adapted to living in the wild. These tusked pests destroy millions of dollars of property, livestock, and crops and are also carriers of cholera, tuberculosis, salmonella, and anthrax.

There are more than 500,000 wild hogs in Florida, and a staggering 2.6 million in the state of Texas. Many states sponsor a campaign each October to eliminate as many as possible. turn the page for more!

Of Linn County

• It’s estimated that more than 20 million Americans are philatelists, that is, they collect stamps! Because it’s one of the world’s most popular hobbies, October is National Stamp Collecting Month. It’s unlikely there are many collectors who own any of the first two U.S. stamps ever printed, stamps featuring Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, in 1847. However, there were 120 million copies made of the most popular stamp, a 1993 stamp of Elvis Presley.

Famous folks who have enjoyed this hobby include Franklin Roosevelt, Warren Buffet, James Earl Jones, James Michener, and John Lennon.

• Since there are more than 1,200 species of bats, perhaps they deserve some recognition.

October is Bat Appreciation Month, honoring this group that comprises one-fifth of all mammals. Although to many, bats seem scary and creepy, they are vital to the ecosystem in controlling pests and participating in pollination. The bumblebee bat, the world’s smallest mammal, weighs less than a penny, while the largest bat has a six-foot wingspan.

Most bats feed on insects, with the average brown bat consuming up to 1,000 bugs in one hour. A very small percentage dine on fish, mice, and frogs. Out of the 1,200 species, just three are vampires, and all three are native only to Latin America. Although these blood drinkers are perceived as frightful, their saliva contains an enzyme that dissolves blood clots, beneficial in treating human stroke victims. Many people associate bats with rabies, but in the U.S., an average of only two people die per year from rabies from a bat.

TOOLS 4 LIFE

BY DR. JIM COYLE Power in Apology Every one of us goes through life being offended or offending someone else. Unattended anger is poison in the heart. Every time I replay the injustice done to me or the injustice I have done to others I am letting toxin exude from my pores. There is tremendous power in an apology. It’s like an antiseptic that cools, heals, and restores wounds. As a result, relationships become stronger and hearts become mended. The 3 R’s are tools to help us.

Regret starts in the head where we sincerely process things Responsibility begins in the heart where an honest response is taken deeply Resolve is when the commitment is put into place with integrity.

Our thoughts (head), words (heart), and action (hands) determine the power of an aplology.

OCTOBER CELEBRATIONS (continued): • In 1983, President Ronald Reagan declared October as National Roller Skating Month. Although the first known roller skates were invented in the 1760s with a single line of wheels, James Plimpton is considered the “father of modern roller skating” due to his 1863 invention of a four-wheel skate. In 1935, a Chicago restaurant owner devised a scheme for a roller derby marathon. Fifty skaters teamed up in 25 male/female teams and took their starting positions in front of 20,000 fans at the Chicago Coliseum. They were prepared for a 3,000mile jaunt around the track, the distance equivalent between San Diego and New York City. The marathon began on August 13 and wrapped up on September 22, with just nine teams finishing. Roller derbies became a craze, and before long, 50 major cities were hosting them before five million spectators. When World War II began, the majority of the skaters enlisted and the fad died down.

• It’s Spinach Lovers’ Month! This would be a good time to reap the health benefits of this iron- and nutrient-rich vegetable. This member of the goosefoot family (along with beets and Swiss chard) is a powerhouse of daily requirements, aiding in red blood cell production, bone strength, prevention of anemia, and slowing down damage to neurons in the brain. And because there are only seven calories in a cup of raw spinach, it’s also a great contribution to weight loss programs. Most of America’s spinach is grown in California and Texas.

Crystal City, Texas makes the claim as the spinach capital of the world. In 1936, the community (present-day population 7,200) established its first annual spinach festival, and erected a statue of famous spinach consumer Popeye the Sailor Man across from City Hall the following year. Back in the 1930s, the Crystal City Cannery was producing 10,000 cans of spinach every day.

It’s a worldwide event that aims to increase the public’s awareness of world hunger. National Food Bank Week is observed October 1420 in correspondence with World Food Day, with all citizens urged to contribute to their local food banks.

• Nothing is more devastating than the death of an infant, and many organizations have been formed to educate parents and caregivers on how to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. October is National SIDS Awareness Month, a time to learn more about the leading cause of death in children between the ages of one month and one year. About 2,500 SIDS deaths occur per year in the United States. Research indicates that African-American babies are more than twice as likely to die of SIDS than Caucasian babies, while American Indian and Alaska Native babies are nearly three times as likely. Studies show that infants who sleep on their stomach have a much higher risk, as do those whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. An elevated body temperature contributes to the danger, as does sleeping on a soft mattress. Some scientists think that defects in an infant’s nervous system, where breathing and heart rate are regulated, contribute to the likelihood, as do less-developed brain stems, where respiratory functions are controlled. The good news is that since physicians began instructing parents to put babies to sleep on their backs around 1994, the number of SIDS deaths has declined by more than half.

Arnold checks into a hotel for the first time in his life and goes up to his room. Five minutes later he calls the reception desk and says, "You've given me a room with no exit. How do I get out?" The desk clerk says, "Sir, that's absurd. Have you looked for the door?"

Arnold replies, "Well, there's one door that leads to the bathroom.

There's a second door that goes into a cupboard. And there's a door I haven't tried, but it has a Do not disturb sign on it."

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved American actress Katharine Hepburn who made the following sage observation: “If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.” ● Half of the Earth’s surface is covered by the Pacific Ocean. ● Need more evidence that portion sizes in America are getting larger? In the 1964 edition of the iconic “Joy of Cooking,” a recipe for chocolate chip cookies was said to yield 45 servings. When the cookbook’s 1997 edition was published, the same recipe was said to yield 36 servings. ● The original name of the city of Melbourne, Australia, was Batmania.

● In the original calculations made by NASA experts, a landing on the moon was thought to have only a 5 percent chance of success. ● In rural Wisconsin in 1921, two thirdgrade students in a one-room schoolhouse became sweethearts. At the end of the school year, Lorraine Beatty and Mac McKitrick lost touch with each other. This story would be unremarkable, except for what happened 87 years later. In 2009, their brothers, who had become friends, brought the couple back together again.

Shortly thereafter, the couple married and moved in with each other in a retirement home. ● The 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, let his horse graze on the White House lawn. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

*Excludes Fishing Rods

A sweet young thing who has just been shopping is pulled over by a traffic cop and given a ticket for speeding. Rather than fight the ticket, the woman writes a check for the amount of the fine and puts it in the mail.

However, the young woman is anxious. Her husband always examines her checkbook carefully, and she doesn't want him to know about the incident.

Then inspiration strikes, and she scribbles on the check stub: "One pullover, $125."

by Matilda Charles

Flu Shots & More Every year, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and their counterparts around the globe get together to decide which combinations of vaccine should be put in flu shots. This year, of the three types that will be used (H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B virus), two of them are new.

It’s the H3N2 virus that appears to be taking off like a rocket already. In all of 2011, there were only 12 total cases.

Already this year, that number is up to 306 and rising, with most of it happening since summer.

Many pharmacies have been making flu shots available for years, and some of them have now expanded to include a whole array of vaccinations: --Flu (influenza) --Pneumonia (pneumococcal) --Tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis) (Tdap) --HPV (human papillomavirus) --Meningitis (meningococcal) --Hepatitis B --MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) --Shingles (herpes zoster) --Chickenpox (varicella) --Hepatitis A That’s quite a long list. And that’s where a potential problem lies: Should you have all those shots? No. Except for flu, most of these shots are not annual vaccines, per the CDC. For example, the Tdap is generally a booster every 10 years. A number of the others are only for those whose doctor recommends them. Some are taken in a series.

And that’s where your doctor comes in.

Before you line up for any shot, ask your doctor what you should get. Or have it done at the doctor’s office so it’s noted in your records.

And remember that it takes two weeks for a flu shot to start working.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Oct. 18, 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon complete their survey of the boundary between the colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland, as well as areas that would become Delaware and West Virginia. The Mason-Dixon line created the boundary at a northern latitude of 39 degrees and 43 minutes. ● On Oct. 21, 1797, the USS Constitution, a 44-gun U.S. Navy frigate built to fight Barbary pirates off the coast of Tripoli, is launched in Boston Harbor. During the War of 1812, the Constitution won its enduring nickname “Old Ironsides” after witnesses claimed that the British shots merely bounced off the Constitution’s sides. ● On Oct. 19, 1931, David Cornwell, later known as spy novelist John le Carre, is born in Poole, England. He published his first spy novel, “Call for the Dead,” in 1961. The novel, like his second, “A Murder of Quality” (1962), featured spy George Smiley. ● On Oct. 20, 1968, 21-year-old Oregonian Dick Fosbury wins a gold medal and sets an Olympic record when he high-jumps 7 feet, 4 1/4 inches at the Mexico City Games. It was the international debut of Fosbury’s unique jumping style, known as the “Fosbury Flop,” which, according to one journalist, “looked like a guy falling off the back of a truck.” ● On Oct. 17, 1973, the Arab-dominated Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) announces a decision to cut oil exports to the United States. In December, a full oil embargo was imposed, prompting a serious energy crisis and gasoline rationing in the United States. ● On Oct. 16, 1987, 18-month-old Jessica McClure is rescued after being trapped for 58 hours in an abandoned water well in Midland, Texas. McClure had fallen through the 8-inch-wide opening of an abandoned well in the backyard of her aunt’s home day-care center. After dropping about 22 feet into the well, the little girl became stuck

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

THE LOUVRE

On the right bank of the Seine in the heart of Paris stands the majestic Louvre, the most visited art museum in the world. But it wasn’t always a museum, as you’ll soon learn!

• About 15,000 visitors tour the Louvre every day! Its 652,000 square feet (are filled with more than 380,000 objects, including 35,000 works of art, sculptures, and archaeological finds. There are more than 7,500 paintings dating from the 13th century up to 1848.

• The Louvre began as a towered fortress and arsenal to protect Paris, Europe’s largest city, from Anglo-Norman threat around the year 1200. In the mid-1300s, King Charles V ordered the transformation of the fortress into a royal residence. Its interior was filled with tapestries, ornate paneling, and art, while elaborate gardens were created in the courtyard. Two kings called it home until 1422, when it was abandoned for over 100 years.

• The Louvre once again became home to royalty in the mid-1500s, when more wings were added as well as a corridor connecting the structure with the Tuileries, a newer palace that had been built nearby. Further construction was completed by Louis XIII, and the Louvre was dramatically enlarged.

• When Louis XIV decided to build a permanent home at Versailles, all work was halted at the Louvre for another 100 years. The King made the decision for a gallery of sculptures to be housed in the abandoned palace. In 1793, the Louvre began its permanent function as a monument to science and the arts. Many of the Louvre’s masterpieces were the spoils of Napoleon I’s war conquests. After Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, many of the works of art were returned to their original owners.

• When World War II broke out in 1939, the majority of the art was evacuated, hidden across France in various sites, and moved several times for security purposes. In early 1945, the masterpieces began their journey back to their permanent home.

• In 1986, the art collection was divided, with all pieces completed after 1848 moved to the Musee d’Orsay, a converted train station.

• It should be no surprise that the Louvre’s most popular attraction is the Mona Lisa.

Painted by Leonardo da Vinci sometime between 1503 and 1506, the subject is thought to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine cloth merchant. It’s believed that da Vinci was invited by King Francois I to work near the king’s castle around 1516, (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc. and that da Vinci took the painting with him.

The artwork was eventually returned to Italy when da Vinci bequeathed it to his assistant, Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. who possibly sold it to the king around 1518.

Before taking up permanent residence in the Louvre, the Mona Lisa hung in Francois I’s Palace of Fontainebleau, the Palace of Versailles, E SAV % and in Napoleon’s bedroom in the Tuileries Palace. *

• The Louvre is also home to the armless Venus de Milo, a marble statue discovered in 1820 on a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It was presented to Louis XVIII, who donated it to the museum.

• There is a small remnant of the original fortress walls still standing in the basement of the current structure, dating back to the late 12th century.

• When the Da Vinci Code was produced in 2006, many of its scenes were filmed in the Louvre. The museum was paid $2.5 million for allowing the filming to take place in its

galleries.

IT’S A SWEET MONTH!

October is filled with tributes to cake decorating. It’s been dubbed National Bake and Decorate Month, National Angel Food Cake Day is October 10, National Cake Decorating Day is October 15, and National Chocolate Cupcake Day is October 18.

Tidbits brings you some sweet facts about these confections.

• The first known written reference to a cupcake was in a 1796 recipe in American Cookery, where the treat was referred to as “a cake to be baked in small cups.”

It was actually called a “cupcake” in the 1828 publication Seventy-Five Recipes for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats.

• The term “cupcake” was two-fold. Before the days of muffin tins, cupcakes were originally baked in heavy pottery cups or ramekins, and were called cupcakes because of the baking medium. The name was also derived from the ingredients’ measurements. Cupcakes were frequently called number cakes, quarter cakes, or 1-2-3-4 cakes. The numerical nickname started as an easy way to remember the quantities of the four main ingredients – 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, and 4 eggs. A cup of milk and a spoon of soda completed the recipe.

• The British call cupcakes “fairy cakes,” while the Australians have given them the name “patty cakes.”

• About 1.6 million viewers tune in each week to watch the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars, a competition among bakers to create unique cupcakes. The program, which premiered in 2010, features four contestants who are eliminated one by one in three rounds. During Round One, competitors bake cupcakes corresponding to a certain theme which are judged on taste alone.

Round Two’s cupcakes are judged on taste and presentation, while Round Three challenges teams to produce 1,000 cupcakes in just two hours. The sum of $10,000 is awarded to the winner.

• According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s largest cupcake was produced by Gourmet Gift Baskets in August of 2009. It weighed in at 1,224 lbs. and required 800 eggs. There were about 2 million calories in the 4-foot tall, 10-foot wide cupcake.

• Hostess cupcakes, the best-selling snack cake in history, came along in 1919. As a child, Florida resident Suzanne Rutland started up a Hostess Cupcake Club among her friends, and estimates that she has eaten more than 50,000 of the confections over her lifetime, sometimes as many as four per day.

• The record for the most cupcakes eaten in one sitting is 29 cupcakes in 30 seconds.

• If you plan to bake an angel food cake, you’ll need the whites of 12 eggs. Recipes for this dessert first appeared in the late 1800s, and it’s believed it derived its name from being so fluffy and light, it was “fit for the angels.”

• October 23 is National Boston Cream Pie Day, set aside for baking this American favorite. It’s not a pie at all, but a round cake split and filled with a custard filling and frosted with chocolate. It made its debut at Boston’s Parker House Hotel in 1855 and is the official dessert of Massachusetts.

Painting Tips Q: I’m painting my apartment next week, the first time I’ve ever done this. Do you have any painting tips? -- Lana, Columbus, Ga. A: Tons of tips, but limited space to list them all, unfortunately! First-timers often are daunted by the amount of paint and paint products to choose from, conflicting instructions from various sources, and sometimes a lack of helpful information from home-improvement store paint sections.

Others feel it’s simple enough to just buy a bunch of paint and brushes and just go for it.

The reality falls somewhere in between.

Preparation is the most important rule to follow, however. You’ll want to prepare the walls (and presumably trim) in the apartment for painting. You’ll need to figure out not just what color paint to use, but how much of it to buy, and if the colors even work the way you think they will. Here are a few tips to get you started: --Buy sample sizes of paint colors you’re interested in, and paint a stripe of each in an inconspicuous section of the wall. Paint looks different when wet and when dry.

--How much paint should you buy? A gallon of latex paint covers 350 square feet.

Measure the length of each wall and add the figures together. Measure the height of the room from floor to ceiling. Multiply the first number by the height of the room and you’ll have your square footage.

--Wash all surfaces to be painted with a damp sponge soaked in a soap and water solution and then squeezed to remove most of the water. Let the surfaces dry for about a halfday, longer if it’s rainy or humid.

--Remove protruding nails and patch nail holes and small (less than 1/2 inch) dents and holes with spackling compound. Once it’s dry, sand the compound lightly and wipe with a damp sponge to remove dust.

--Mask off areas you don’t want to paint using blue painter’s tape, which comes off more easily than masking tape.

--Covering a dark wall with a lighter paint?

Prime the wall first with a primer that is close to or matches the color of the new paint.

--Ditto for covering one type of paint, such as an oil-based paint, with a different type, such as latex paint. A primer coat will keep your new paint from bubbling, cracking or peeling.

--Make sure the area being painted is well ventilated; additionally, wear a filter mask (not a dust mask) to reduce inhalation of paint fumes.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● When making pastry, start with cold ingredients; when making cakes and cookies, the ingredients should be room temperature. If you stick with this rule, you’ll have lovely, flaky pastry and warm, fluffy cake! ● “Keep rolls or breads warm at the table with this OLD trick: Line your bread basket with foil, shiny side out. Drape a towel over that, and snug the bread inside.” -- G.R. in Wisconsin

● Want to know the secret to great biscuits? Handle the dough gently. The more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. If you use a cutter, dip it in water for each press, and DON’T twist: You’ll create a seal on the edges that will hinder the biscuit from rising, making it denser. ● “Got a dome on your cake? Measure your ingredients well. Use a pan that is big enough. And if all else fails, use a thermometer to gauge whether your oven is too hot. These things more than any others will make a cake pop up in the center.” -- E.A. in Mississippi ● Here’s a fun way to spend a weekend morning: Making pancakes or waffles!

Make a double (or triple, or more) batch, and make several varieties -- blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, walnuts, strawberry, even pumpkin! Lay them out in layers and let cool. Stack separated with freezer paper in the freezer. They can be microwaved or toasted in minutes for an easy weekday breakfast. ● Self-rising flour or all-purpose? There’s actually a pretty easy way to tell which is which. Self-rising flour has baking soda added to it, which tastes salty. If you’re facing a canister of flour and the recipe calls for all-purpose, give it a taste. If it’s self-rising, omit any baking soda added to your recipe.

Look for the KMRY “Secret Word” in each week’s TidBits Paper...then listen to Rick Sellers Thursdays at 10:50am for your chance to call in and win $50.00!

This week’s Secret Word is “Cash”

Mom, when I was on the bus with Dad this morning, he told me to give up my seat to a lady.

Well, you have done the right thing.

But mum, I was sitting on daddy's lap.

Whoever coined the phrase "Quiet as a mouse" has never stepped on one.

“I DROPPED 8 DRESS SIZES IN ONLY 90 DAYS!” I am a Registered Nurse at the University of Iowa Hospital, with absolutely no time for a gym membership, yet I still was able to drop 8 dress sizes in only 90 days.

How did I do it? That's simple, I joined the "90-Day Challenge" with friends, where we have fun and learn to get healthy, get fit, lose unwanted weight and gain lean muscle. And by joining the challenge, we get a chance to win trips, cruises and cash!

As part of the "90-Day Challenge" we drink a shake mix that smells and tastes like a cake mix, at only $1.87 per shake. Average weight-loss in 5 pounds per week! FDA Regulated, lactose free, diabetic friendly, gluten free and rated "A" with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Call the number below to get some FREE shake samples and learn more about the challenge.
