TIDBITS® PRESENTS INFO ABOUT OLIVES
by Kathy Wolfe • Green, black, purple? Ripe or unripe? In your martini or on your pizza? What’s your preference? There’s a lot to learn about olives and Tidbits is here to help! • Fruit or vegetable? The olive is definitely a fruit, specifically a drupe, or “stone fruit.” If you’re interested in having an olive tree, you can actually plant the pit and it will grow into a tree under the right conditions. • An olive tree is an evergreen with an average lifespan of between 30 and 600 years, although there is evidence of trees that are more than 2,000 years old. The world’s oldest olive tree is located on the island of Crete, and is estimated to be nearly 4,000 years old. More than 20,000 people travel to view the tree every year. • Height of an olive tree ranges from 26 feet to 49 feet (8 to 15 m). It will produce a white flower after four years, but growers won’t expect a harvest for the first 15 years. They flourish in hot weather and lots of sun, and their massive root system makes them drought-resistant. • While there are about 865 million olive trees worldwide, the vast majority are found in the Mediterranean countries. Evidence indicates that the fruit was first cultivated 7,000 years ago, and they’ve been grown commercially in Crete since 3000 BC

OLIVES (continued): • The ancient Greeks and Romans slathered olive oil on their bodies and in their hair as part of their grooming and health rituals. Greek physician Hippocrates called olive oil “the great therapeutic.” Greek women created the first eye shadow by blending olive oil into charcoal. Kings were anointed with olive oil and Olympic Games champions were crowned with coronets of olive leaves. Olive oil was burned in the cauldron of the ancient Olympic Games’ “eternal flame,” a tradition that was revived at the 2004 Athens Games. • Israelites in Biblical times used olive oil in their sacrificial offerings, as an ointment, and to anoint priests and royalty. The first mention of olive leaves in the Hebrew Bible is in Genesis 8:11, when a dove brought an olive leaf to Noah aboard the ark as a sign that the flood was over. • The olive branch is a symbol of peace, with opposing sides throughout history offering an olive branch as a sign of a truce. The branch also represents wisdom, fertility, purity, power, and victory. Seven nations, including Cyprus and the African country of Eritrea, feature olive branches on their flags, as well as four U.S. states, and the flag of the United Nations. • Spanish missionaries introduced the tree to North America, planting trees at the Mission San Diego de Alcala in 1769. While groves were cultivated at other California missions, by the mid-1800s, there were only two olive groves to be found. • Olives come in all kinds of colors – green, purple, dark brown, black, and even pink! But the color of the fruit isn’t about the tree, it’s about the maturity of the olive at the time of harvest. Green and black olives can grow on the same tree! Unripe olives are green, while ripe ones are dark purple to black.
• If you’re reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger, and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue. • Here’s a great way to get a longer life from a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into one side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it.” -- Y.P. in Illinois • Store brooms either handle down or on a hook that allows the bristles to suspend over the floor. When brooms rest their bristles on the floor, it bends them and breaks the ends. Broken ends make it hard for the broom to work efficiently. • “After a recent bathroom redecoration, we had a toilet paper holder left over. I mounted it on the wall in my shop, and I use it to dispense twine. It’s actually working well and is the perfect size, since it’s not really wide enough for more than one duct tape roll.” -A.L. in Texas • It’s easy to leave a group text chain on an iPhone. There’s a setting for this. It’s not as easy on an Android phone, but it’s doable. Simply mute the conversation and delete the text thread. If you have a big family group and you’re getting too many notifications, you can always mute the conversation until you’re finished with whatever you’re doing.

TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #16 April 19th 2021 OLIVES (continued): • Olive harvesters wouldn’t dream of plucking fruit from the tree and eating it. Due to an organic compound known as glucoside oleuropein, raw olives are bitter and unpalatable. They must be cured in brine, salt, or oil and fermented in a lye solution in order to remove the bitter taste. The longer the fermentation, the less bitter and the better the flavor. • Spain leads the world in cultivation of olives, with Italy in second place, and Greece in third. Spain’s Andalucian region produces about 75% of the world’s olives, and consequently, olive oil. Olives consist of about 20% oil, and 90% of olives are used in oil’s production. One tree can produce 4.25 quarts (4 liters) of oil annually for centuries. The world consumes over 660,000 gallons (2.25 million liters) every year. About 7.5 quarts (7 liters) of olives are required to produce a quart of oil. • Olive oil is much healthier than vegetable oils, and is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It contains oleic acid, which can reduce blood pressure, Vitamin E to support the immune and nervous systems and reduce inflammation, B and K vitamins, and Omega-6 and Omega-3. Oleic acid also helps skin soft and healthy, improving the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 20%. Olive oil is beneficial in preventing heart disease and lowering cholesterol, and is believed to protect against several cancers as well, including breast, prostate, and digestive tract cancers.

® of Idaho TIDBITS of Kootenai Issue #16 April 19th 2021 TidbitsCounty, Dallas County OLIVES (continued): • Why is there such a variety of olive oils, and what’s the difference between them? A label might read “Pure Olive Oil,” “Refined Olive Oil,” “Virgin Olive Oil,” or “Extra Virgin Olive Oil,” among others. They will vary in thickness, color, and taste, all based on how the oil is extracted and processed. Pure olive oil is a lighter pale yellow color and less expensive, and has been treated chemically or with heat during the refining process. It is sometimes treated with preservatives and other additives. The pricier extra virgin oil has not been exposed to a chemical or heat process, with the oil being cold-pressed from the olives. The result is a higher quality, darker, more flavorful oil with a fresher, more delicate taste. Regular olive oil may be slightly bitter in taste, due to a higher oleic acid content. • Regular and extra virgin olive oils have a different “smoke point,” that temperature when the heated oil starts to produce bluish smoke. Regular olive oil has a higher smoke point, and takes a little longer to burn, meaning it’s better for high heat cooking and frying. Extra virgin olive oil is the choice for salad dressing and low heat sautéing. • The wood of the olive tree is prized by woodworkers worldwide. It’s a very hard, dense, and durable wood, and contains interesting vivid grain patterns. Because the tree is valued for its fruit and is relatively small and grows slowly, olive wood is not abundantly available, making its products expensive. It’s used in fine furniture, carved bowls, cutting boards, and other decorative items.

By Lucie Winborne • Alligators will give manatees the right of way if they swim near each other. • A day on Mars lasts 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds. You’d assume therefore that there are fewer days in a Martian year than an Earth year, right? Nope -- because Mars orbits the sun more slowly than Earth, a Martian year actually comprises 687 days. • The board game Cranium was the first noncoffee product to be sold at Starbucks. • A Mickey is the smallest detectable movement of a mouse cursor on a screen. The term was coined by computer scientists, who use it when programming mice and other input devices. • And while we’re on the subject of “small,” the tiniest item ever photographed is the shadow of an atom, captured via a super-high-resolution microscope by a team at Australia’s Griffith University in 2012. • The Welsh word for jellyfish is “Psygod wibli wobli.” • Out of the millions of creatures that inhabit planet Earth, humans are one of just three species capable of laughter, the other two being chimpanzees ... and rats! • “The Galop Infernal,” composed for an opera as a soundtrack to a man descending into hell, is better known to most of us as “The CanCan” song. • Proof that some things never change: the world’s oldest known joke is a Sumerian fart joke. • The most expensive pizza in the world will set you back a cool $12,000. Why? Well, it takes 72 hours to make, can only be produced in your home by three Italian chefs, and is topped with three types of caviar, bufala mozzarella, lobster from Norway and Cilento, and pink Australian sea salt!

CIRCULATION: GET YOUR BLOOD MOVING!
Keeping your blood moving is critical to good health. Do your legs or arms wake up after you do? Do your limbs get cold easily? Do you have tingling of your feet or hands? Do wounds heal slowly? Are you having blood pressure challenges? These may be signs of poor circulation. But not everyone with poor circulation has symptoms. This is a condition that cannot be ignored. An important role of circulating blood is to bring oxygen and nutrients to your organs and tissues. Lack of circulation can have dire consequences on your health. While there are several reasons for poor circulation, some of the manifestations or causes could be peripheral artery disease, diabetes, and blood clots. Continuing poor circulation puts undue stress on the cardiovascular system, the kidneys, liver and even eyes. Left unchecked, it can contribute to hardening of the arteries, hemorrhoids, painful joints and varicose veins. Other non-descript issues can result from lack of waste being removed from your tissues. Poor circulation should be taken seriously. Sufficient exercise, good nutrition and ample hydration are important in supporting healthy circulation. Also, avoiding sugar keeps glucose and triglyceride levels down. This, in addition to high cholesterol levels, thicken the blood, making it more difficult for blood to flow through the finer peripheral vessels. Acupuncture also helps to move blood. In a study published in Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits, March 2015, using Photoplethysmography (a non-invasive optical technique used to measure blood volume changes in microvascular beds),
found that acupuncture significantly increased peripheral blood flow in the upper and lower limbs. In several studies, it was found that acupuncture reduces peripheral vascular resistance by relaxing the blood vessels, and decreases blood pressure through several mechanisms including decreasing muscular tension. In a study published in the medical journal Circulation, Randomized Trial of Acupuncture to Lower Blood Pressure they found that ambulatory systolic and diastolic blood pressures were reduced significantly, adding “[Acupuncture for] arterial hypertension when administered carefully by competent medical personnel, side effects are relatively rare. Its perceived character as “holistic” and “soft” medicine, as opposed to conventional drug therapy, is attractive to many patients and may increase compliance to therapy in a disease notorious for low patient compliance with drug regimens.” If a series of acupuncture treatments is properly administered by a Licensed Acupuncturist, and followed through by the patient, the positive effects on blood pressure can last long term. In a study published in Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2012, using Color Doppler Imaging, they found that acupuncture works through physiological mechanisms, including the release of critical hormones, via the autonomic nervous system to improve micro-circulation. Most acupuncturists combine nutrition, herbal medicine and other modalities, as well as evaluating the patient on an individual basis and treating accordingly, thereby substantially increasing their results versus the one or two point approach used in studies. Good circulation is essential for good health. If you are suffering, consider acupuncture – it works!

by Freddy Groves If you’ve been waiting for copies of military records so you can apply for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, you’ve likely been waiting for a long time. Unfortunately, your wait might continue, depending on the reason for your request. Due to COVID, the National Personnel Records Center is closed, with a 10% staffing level and a backlog of half a million records requests. Most of the 60 million older records are on paper, so they must be accessed and touched by humans. The only exceptions are emergencies: burials, medical treatments or homeless veterans who are trying to get into a homeless shelter. For anything else, the NPRC is specifically requesting that you don’t ask for records. If it’s records research, corrections to records or replacement medals, it’s not an emergency... at least for the NPRC. I can foresee situations where getting medal replacements for an elderly, ill veteran might well be considered an emergency if that veteran wants to see his medals one last time, and tell stories and maybe give them in person to a grandchild. If you have a genuine emergency, as defined by the NPRC, you’ll need to submit a Standard Form 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records (find it online). Sign it and then fax it to (314) 801-0764. The good news is that newer records might be online. Check www.archives.gov, click Veterans’ Service Records, then click on More Ways to Get Service Records on the left. It could be much worse: In 1973, up to 18 million files were destroyed in a fire the St. Louis record center. Plus, VA had loaned the NPRC millions of records, which also went up in smoke. Over time they’ve tried to re-create those records using auxiliary sources, but the Certificate of Service they send you contains only basic service information -- like a Little League participation trophy.

ForofAdvertising 505-0674 TIDBITS Kootenai County,Call Idaho(334) Issue #16 April 19th 2021 COUCH THEATER VIDEO/DVD PREVIEWS
PHOTO: Dakota Johnson in “The High Note” Photo Credit: Focus Features If you need to know what’s going on inside of a typical business, the place to go is to an administrative assistant, or what used to be called a secretary. Depending on your age, the word “secretary” might summon up images of stenography pads and typewriters, Rolodex and telephones, guarding the door to some executive office in a high-rise. Today’s administrative assistant is more likely armed with a cellphone and spreadsheet, hopefully coordinating daily activities or serving customers with the grace of a master conductor. Here’s a Couch Theater salute to all the unsung heroes out there -- the customer service reps, receptionists, accounting reps and account specialists! For a laugh, I present some of the most memorable assistants on the big screen. “Working Girl” -- Tess (Melanie Griffith) goes from receptionist to corporate dealmaker after her idea-stealing boss (Sigourney Weaver) gets laid up with a bum leg. “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” -Christina Applegate plays a teen fashionista who takes up breadwinning for the family while mom is out of town. She fudges a resume and gets a job as assistant that lets her flex her design muscle. “Swimming With Sharks” -- Frank Whaley stars as Guy, a Hollywood executive who starts working for a thankless, domineering movie mogul (Kevin Spacey). Guy’s best opportunity may come from kidnapping and revenge on his boss. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” -- The cult classic might be all about Ferris and friends, but when Ferris calls in “sick,” Principal Rooney goes bananas trying to catch him, setting up some memorable scenes for his assistant Grace (Edie McClurg). “Set It Up” -- Two executive assistants (Zooey Deutch and Glen Powell) plot to get their bosses (Taye Diggs and Lucy Lui) together, figuring if they find love, they’ll find far less time to be overbearing! “The High Note” -- Maggie (Dakota Johnson) works as a personal assistant in the music biz, despite her dreams of becoming a music producer. Her boss, Grace (Tracee Ellis Ross), is a diva of the highest order. When they find the intersection of their talents, they make sweet, sweet music. “Iron Man” -- As the executive assistant and true businesswoman of Stark Industries, we can all appreciate Pepper Potts’ (Gwyneth Paltrow) dedication to her job. “Ghostbusters” -- In a role that’s been parodied and applauded, who can forget Annie Potts as receptionist Janine Melnitz? “We got one, boys!” (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
Wild Animal Threat in Tennessee
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your recent column about whether cats will be threatened by snakes or other wildlife in rural Tennessee. I lived over 50 years in Henrietta, New York; I had raccoons, possums, deer, foxes, skunks and a plethora of other animals in my backyard every night -- many more than when I lived in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Tell your reader not to worry: Almost all wild animals are much more (for good reason) afraid of you than you should be of them. Just ignore them, and you probably won’t get to enjoy them and have all the pleasure I do in seeing them in my yard. If you have a cat, you should probably keep it in at night, but they should be in anyhow. Hope this helps. -- N.Z.C. DEAR N.Z.C.: Thank you for the information! Wild animal activity can vary quite a bit depending on your region, how close you are to a town or city, the amount of undeveloped property or a wildlife reserve adjacent to your home, and more. It can even vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. For example, when I relocated from one area outside of Boston to another, the wildlife in my yard shifted drastically. I had put up with free-roaming turkeys and the occasional glimpse of a coyote in the early mornings on my suburban street for years; in my new neighborhood, the only wild pests were rabbits, with no nearby predators to keep their numbers down. In short, enjoy the rural life, make sure trash-can lids are secure, and don’t worry too much about predators menacing you and your pets. They prefer to stay out of your way.

“…volunteering isn’t something to put off until you have extra time and money. By Matilda Charles
A Box of Greeting Cards
A few months ago, I got the idea to send greeting cards to some residents of a local nursing home who were locked down and not allowed to have visitors. It started small: a box of greeting cards and the first names of some of the residents, courtesy of the facility director. The idea has, to put it mildly, expanded. First there was the call from the facility director wanting to know if I could enlarge my list because the residents were talking among themselves about who got cards and who didn’t. “Certainly,” I said, and bought more cards. A further expansion came when a woman called me saying that her mother was in that facility, but her mother-in-law was in another local place, and would I send cards to a few people there as well? “Certainly,” I said, and bought more cards. You see where this is going? It wasn’t long before I knew I needed some help. It wasn’t only signing and addressing the cards, it was writing an individual letter to go in each envelope. I called the guidance counselor at the high school and the ideas just flew. The service club is writing letters; they roped in the art club, which is producing individual drawings and paintings for each nursing home resident. The chorus stepped up and is planning an outdoor concert in the front of each facility when the weather warms up. (At this point they practice their music on Zoom calls.) And two students have initiated a project wherein they’re collecting craft supplies for the therapist at the nursing home to use with the residents. Does this sound like something you can start in your own area? You can start small. All it takes is a box of greeting cards -- and a few ideas. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
There are numerous reasons why the returns far outweigh the time you invest, especially during lean times. I’ll point out just five reasons you should consider making volunteering a part of your every day life. 1. Volunteers live longer and are healthier. Volunteers are happier and healthier than non-volunteers… 2. Volunteering establishes strong relationships. Despite all of the online connections that are available at our fingertips, people are lonelier now than ever before. Indeed, a 2010 AARP study reported that prevalence of loneliness is at an all time high, with about one in three adults age 45 or older categorized as lonely… 3. Volunteering is good for your career. People who volunteer make more money, partially because the relationships people create while volunteering can be leveraged for financial benefit… 4. Volunteering is good for society. Many businesses, and almost all mission-driven organizations, are successful only if they maintain a strong volunteer workforce… 5. Volunteering gives you a sense of purpose. Although it is not well-understood why volunteering provides such a profound health benefit, a key factor is assumed to be that volunteering serves to express and facilitate opportunities to carry out one’s sense of purpose. The very nature of volunteering means choosing to work without being paid for it… If you aren’t currently volunteering, and three in four of us aren’t, there are many resources online that can help you find an opportunity. Committing even as little as one hour a week can have a profound benefit on your own life, and the organizations that rely on such help will be able to thrive…” (Dawn C. Carr, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Florida State University, is a social gerontologist whose research focuses on factors that facilitate healthy and active aging, as quoted in Psychology Today, “The Third Age”.)
