TIDBITS® APPRECIATES FLOWERS
by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we appreciate flowers! FIRST FLOWERS • The first flower known to have appeared on Earth is called Montsechia vidalii. It lived submerged in the shallow waters of Europe’s lakes. Its fossils, found in Spain, have been dated to 130-125 million years ago. Another early flower is called Archaefructus sinensis, whose fossils, found in northeastern China, dated it to 125 million years ago. It resembled the modern water lily. Prior to the evolution of flowering plants, ferns and coniferous trees ruled the plant world. • A previously extinct Arctic flower called the narrow-leafed campion was resurrected using seeds found in Siberia which had been buried by an ice-age squirrel. The seeds were dated at 32,000 years old and sprouted anyway. • When Charles Darwin was studying a Madagascar orchid whose flower had a foot-long nectar-filled tube, he hypothesized that there was probably a moth in the vicinity which had a proboscis of the same length in order for the plant to be pollinated. It was an unprecedented guess, as no such moth was known at the time. Not until 21 years after his death was the moth species finally discovered. (continued next page)

FLOWERS (cont) • Sunflowers are native to North America and have been cultivated since about 3000 BCE. The sunflower belongs to the daisy family (Asteraceae) which has over 20,000 species. It is the biggest family of flowering plants. • There are about 70 different species, some of which are dwarf. Sunflowers can even be grown as bonsai plants. A sunflower is actually a cluster of hundreds of flowers. • The world’s tallest sunflower was grown in 2014 and reached the height of 30 feet, 1 inch (9m). The widest actual flower measured 3 feet (.9 m) across, grown in 1986. The most number of flowers on an individual stalk was 837 on a plant grown in Michigan in 2001. • Every part of the sunflower plant is edible, though not necessarily tasty. • Besides yellow, they can also be found in red and purple varieties. • There are two kinds of sunflower seeds. Sunflower oil which is used in cooking and in margarines is made from black seeds, and snack food is made from the striped seeds. • Sunflowers can be used to extract toxins such as lead, arsenic, and uranium from contaminated soil. Sunflowers were used to remove toxins from a pond after the Chernobyl disaster and similar projects took place after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. • The spiderwort flower is a natural radiation detector. The stamen turns pink in the presence of radiation. When planted around Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, they accurately detected how much radiation was released and showed how the wind dispersed radioactive material. (cont)
NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson • “I find it helpful to set calendar reminders on my phone for working out and meal prepping. I have to treat it like a job so that I’ll do it. Thought that might help other people who struggle.” -- S.O. in Wyoming • “Those hide-a-key rocks can be a little obvious -- at least they are to me. I have a spare key hidden outside too, but I sealed mine in a plastic baggie and buried it in a spot known only to our family members. Also, it’s not right by the door.” -Ð I.E. in Mississippi • Home office motivation: Preplan your outfits for daily success. When it’s all too easy to roll out of bed and log on without a thought, it might help your productivity to prepare for the workday as you would have in the time of commutes and conferences. The right wardrobe choices can help you set the tone for the day. • “When closing up our cabin for the season, we brought a box of mothballs and scattered them around the porch perimeter. This keeps the small animals like mice and skunks from setting up shop there while no one is around.” -- S.F. in Pennsylvania • “When temperatures fall where I live, outside exercise becomes preferred. We all know to drink lots of fluids in the blazing heat of summer, but it’s important to plan your hydration when extreme sweating isn’t the norm. You still need to replace fluids for optimal performance.” -- T.D. in Florida Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
TIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #43 Oct. 19th 2020 FLOWERS (cont) • Broccoli is actually a flower. Broccoli is harvested before the flower buds fully open and eaten as a vegetable. If left to bloom, the flowers are tiny, yellow, and densely packed. The word “broccoli” comes from the Italian words meaning “flowering cabbage.” • Cauliflower will also bloom similarly. The word “cauliflower” derives from the Latin words “caulis” meaning cabbage and “flōs” meaning flower. • Artichokes are large flower buds, cut before they bloom. They are a type of thistle. Their name comes from the Arabic phrase meaning “arched stump” regarding their shape. If allowed to flower, blossoms measure up to seven inches (18 cm) wide and are purple. California produces 100% of the U.S. artichoke crop, with Castroville, California calling itself the “Artichoke Center of the World.” Marilyn Monroe was named Castroville, California’s first Artichoke Queen in 1947. • The color of the hydrangea is determined by the acidity of the soil it’s planted in. If the soil is alkaline, it will result in pink blooms; if it’s too acidic, the flowers will be blue. Its name comes from Greek “hydro” meaning “water” and “angeion” meaning “vessel” from the cup-like shape of its seed capsule. • The world’s oldest living rose bush is thought to be around 1,000 years old. It blooms on the wall of the Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany. Its presence was first documented in 815 A.D. In 1945 allied bombers destroyed the cathedral, yet the bush survived. Its roots remained intact beneath the debris, and soon the bush was growing strong again when the castle was rebuilt.

He even did this while standing in the famous White House Rose Garden. • Water-meal, a type of duckweed, yields the smallest flower in the world. The Latin name is Wolffia globosa and it’s found all over the planet, floating on calm swampy water. The plant itself is about the size of a grain of rice and the flower weighs about as much as two grains of salt. A bouquet of the flowers would fit on the head of a pin. • The slowest-flowering plant is the rare species of giant bromeliad called Puya raimondii, discovered at a height of 12,992 ft (3,960 m) in the Bolivian mountains in 1870. The flower cluster emerges after about 80 to 150 years of the plant’s life. It produces a huge stalk bearing hundreds of blooms. Once it has blossomed, the plant dies. • In ancient Rome, a scientist was struck by a flower’s resemblance to the swords gladiators used in battle. He named the bloom “gladiolus” after the Latin word for sword, “gladius.” • The daisy got its name because the yellow center resembled the sun. It was commonly known as the “day’s eye” and over time, was eventually called daisy. • The chrysanthemum was named after the Greek words for “gold flower.” • Some plants such as orchids do not need soil to grow because they get all of their nutrients from the air or from water that drips down from other plants. • Lotuses are popular hang-outs for beetles because the flowers stay at a constant 86° to 95°F (30-35°C) even during cold nights. Beetles trapped when the petals on these bowl-shaped blooms close up for the night spend the night mating and feeding.

By Lucie Winborne • Two journalists invented Trivial Pursuit in 45 minutes after being shocked at the price of a Scrabble set. • One person in 20 has an extra rib, and they are most often men. • Fearing that someone would murder him in the recreation yard at Alcatraz prison, gangster Al Capone received permission to spend rec time practicing his banjo in the shower room. • A Chinese millionaire sold canned air to people on the streets to raise awareness of air pollution. He donated the money to charity. • Female cats are mostly right-pawed, while male cats are more frequently left-pawed. • The universe has a color -- but it’s not what you might think. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University took the average of light from over 200,000 galaxies and discovered that the universe is actually kind of beige. They dubbed the hue “cosmic latte.” • A centuries-old Japanese tradition holds that if a sumo wrestler can make your baby cry, the baby will live a healthy life! During a special ceremony, parents hand their infants to wrestlers who not only bounce the babies up and down but sometimes even roar in their faces to start the waterworks. As one mom, Mae Shige, remarked of her son at a 2014 event: “He’s not a baby that cries much, but today he cried a lot for us and we are very happy about it.” • Daisies aren’t just for picking or playing “He loves me, he loves me not.” They’re also an excellent source of vitamin C and have been said to slow bleeding, relieve indigestion, and soothe coughs. There are eight times as many atoms in a teaspoonful of water as there are teaspoonfuls of water in the Atlantic Ocean.

WHAT YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE TELLING YOU: PART I
Symptoms can be simply annoying, downright life-changing, or anything in between. But symptoms aren’t there for no reason. As with most things in life, there is a reason and a purpose for symptoms. We typically ignore the annoying ones if they have been persistent for a while, or not altering our lifestyle –constipation, low grade headaches, and cold hands and feet are some examples – unless, of course they become severe. But even the little ones have meaning, even if they are easy to ignore. Let’s take constipation. Most people don’t know what is normal in bowel movements. A perfectly running digestive system ends up generating a nice soft bowel movement about 30 minutes after each meal. That means, if you are eating 3 full meals a day, you should be having 3 bowel movements per day. About 50% of that waste consists of the previous days’ food waste, and the other 50% is dead cells and other waste metabolites. We are told that you are not considered constipated unless you have skipped a day or two without a bowel movement. You are then considered medically constipated. However, it’s a problem even at one/day - just not as critical. What is the body telling us?
Most people recognize that insufficient water intake is causative. Hard and dry stools are likely a result of dehydration. But it may not be just that. One common reason, rarely acknowledged, is a lack of fat in the diet. Fat causes the gallbladder to release copious amounts of bile to emulsify the fat. This dictates color and texture. If you don’t have a gallbladder because it was removed, the dysregulation of bile could cause either constipation or horrible diarrhea - fortunately, there are things that we can do to help, even then. Digestive insufficiency starting at the stomach level, or even higher in the mouth can contribute. Digestive enzymes that are inhibited either because of dry mouth, anti-acid medication, poor chewing habits, stress or other reasons can affect digestion. Malnutrition or inadequate quantities of food can also cause constipation. This can be either because the person is eating tiny amounts with the fear of gaining weight, or trying to lose weight, or because of eating nutrient-poor processed foods. Inadequate fiber content, can cause stools to be pasty and sticky. Foods such as dairy products, particularly cheese, and also bananas, can be constipating. Lack of muscle tone, either because of chronic deficiencies or muscular or neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson’s, Muscular Dystrophy, spinal injuries or such can also cause constipation. This is just the tip of the iceberg of a “simple” symptom that can have many causes. Learn more next week, in Part II of What Your Symptoms are Telling You.

Coffee Shop Vets Are One Man Short
---I didn’t know if they’d be there, what with the weather snapping cold like it has, but there they were, the elderly veteran crew, arrayed in a wide half circle on the sidewalk outside the coffee shop. Or at least most of them were. I did a head count after I placed my coffee order at the pickup window. One appeared to be missing, and it seemed that I’d arrived in the middle of a conversation. “They kept him overnight, worried about his chest. Coughing, but no fever.” “Can’t be the virus if there’s no fever.” “It could be the virus with no symptoms whatsoever.” The retired sergeant, in charge of physical spacing, tapped his 6-foot measuring stick on the pavement. “You need to keep up.” They batted it back and forth, taking bets about which of them might have had it without knowing, citing questionable statistics and claims. A cellphone rang, and the sergeant’s hand went up, calling for silence. He listened and hung up, sliding the phone back in his fatigue jacket pocket. “It’s not the virus,” he said. “Common cold. But the grandkid tested positive, so now the whole house is in lockdown. Our good buddy has to go elsewhere.” “Bet he’s not happy about that.” “His other daughter is coming from upstate. Plans to take him with her tomorrow.” “He’ll be even less happy about that. Poor guy. He’s a news junkie. She lives in a cabin on a lake, no cable. Just basic channels.” By the time I finished my coffee, hovering at the edge of the group, the general consensus was that their pal, to be trapped for a few weeks in a lakeside cabin in the woods with no cable television, was actually the lucky one. As long as he remembered his fishing pole. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

North Idaho College is partnering with Heritage Health to offer a new dental hygiene degree program. Students who complete the two-year program will earn an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene and will be eligible to sit for the national exam to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. Courses will begin in January 2021 at two locations, the NIC main campus in Coeur d’Alene in partnership with Heritage Health, and the Lewis-Clark State College dental clinic on its main campus in Lewiston. “We’re very excited to be partnering with North Idaho College,” said Bill Davenport, the Coeur d’Alene Clinic Director for Heritage Health. “In addition to our space, our staff will be contributing their expertise and knowledge to NIC students. Creating a pipeline of potential employees is a bonus for us and this is about helping our community partner.”
NIC students in Coeur d’Alene will use Heritage Health’s dental clinic and equipment after normal business hours throughout the week. “I think our partnership is a perfect arrangement for the NIC dental hygiene students,” said Janis McClelland, Program Director of the Dental Hygiene program. “The opportunity to work alongside Heritage Health to serve the dentally underserved population of our community is tremendous.” The program will be delivered using online courses, internet video conferencing that allows students from each institution to participate in lectures as a large group, and then lab and clinic time on the respective campuses and in partnership with clinics. McClelland said the hybrid delivery model is unique and has required in-depth development and coordination to achieve initial accreditation status, which was granted last month. “The students will gain valuable clinical experience while providing services that patients would normally have to wait months for,” said McClelland.
www.tidbitscda.com
“This is definitely a fantastic opportunity for our community and our students.” Students will learn a wide array of dental procedures and work on actual patients. These patients will come from a variety of sources, Heritage Health, community dentist referrals, and from the students’ own recruitment of family, friends and community members. Dental screenings will be performed to determine the need for dental care and to provide preventive oral care services. Under the supervision of faculty and dentists, the students will be providing procedures such as radiographs, head and neck oral cancer exams, periodontal assessments, and periodontal treatment in addition to cleanings and polishing, fluoride and desensitizing treatments, dental sealants, sports guards and a complete dental examination. The application process for the Dental Hygiene program closes Thursday, Oct. 8. For more information: dentalhygiene@nic.edu or NIC Health Professions Advisor Betsy Conery at (208) 625-2320, or NIC Dental Hygiene Program Director Janis McClelland at (208) 929-4014.

• On Oct. 27, 1659, William Robinson and Marmaduke Stevenson, two Quakers who came from England in 1656 to escape religious persecution, are executed in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for their religious beliefs. The colony had banned Quakers under penalty of death. • On Nov. 1, 1765, despite widespread opposition in the American colonies, Parliament enacts the Stamp Act, designed to raise revenue for British military in America. The Stamp Act was designed to force colonists to use special stamped paper in the printing of newspapers, pamphlets, almanacs and playing cards. • On Oct. 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicates The Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France, in New York Harbor. Originally known as “Liberty Enlightening the World,” the statue was to commemorate the Franco-American alliance during the American Revolution. • On Oct. 30, 1890, Oakland, California, enacts a law against opium, morphine and cocaine. It allowed only doctors to prescribe these drugs, which had been legal for cures or pain relief. • On Oct. 31, 1957, Toyota hopes to saturate the American market with its inexpensive Toyopet Crown sedans. It was a flop: The car could barely meet California’s roadworthiness standards, guzzled extraordinary amounts of gas and oil, and tended to shake violently, overheat and stall. • On Oct. 29, 1971, Duane Allman, leader of the Allman Brothers Band, is killed when he loses control of his motorcycle and hits a flatbed truck in Macon, Georgia. He was 24. One year later, the band’s bassist Berry Oakley died in a very similar motorcycle accident just a few blocks away. • On Oct. 26, 1984, at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California, Dr. Leonard Bailey performs the first baboon-to-human heart transplant, replacing a 14-day-old infant girl’s defective heart. “Baby Fae” survived the operation, but died of heart failure after 20 days.

Scammers’ Tricks Are No Treat
They never give up. Scammers are still taking every opportunity to steal our identity and separate us from our money, and the list keeps growing. Here are a few of the scams out there now: Seniors are getting calls from people who claim to be employees of the Department of Justice. Reports to the National Elder Fraud Hotline say that these scammers pretend to be investigators, and what they want is your personal information. If you get a call like this, don’t be concerned that it’s an authentic government call. It isn’t. Just hang up. Maybe you’ll get a call wanting to sell you an air purifier. They’ll claim it will clean any coronavirus out of the air in your home. Maybe they’ll try to get you to put it on a credit card, or they’ll claim it’s Medicare approved and all you need to do is give them your Medicare number. Don’t fall for either of these tricks. Scammers will try these same tactics with miracle cures for COVID, masks that are “guaranteed” to protect you, face shields, vitamin supplements, free COVID tests, low-cost prescription drugs and much more. Sometimes scammers pretending to be from the government will try to get your personal information by saying they want to send you a stimulus check, or maybe they claim to need Census 2020 information. Sometimes it’s about an expired warranty on your car or lower interest rates. Just hang up. Don’t press 1 or any other number to have your number taken off their list. All that does is give them another opportunity to convince you to give up personal information. If someone you don’t know leaves a message about any of these topics, ignore it. Remember that we seniors are the preferred target of these scammers. Don’t fall for their tricks. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

A text from a resident’s family member received recently really struck my heart… “I’m so ashamed of our Youth Centric Society. There is so much wisdom, culture, love and storytelling that is being wasted and lost, simply disregarded…” Rory Steward in the November 9, 2013, “Guardian” reflects as follows. “…ours is the first generation to draw our deepest fulfilment from our own descendants. Some of my friends imply that all that matters is what happens to their families, in the lives behind their own front doors. We have become reluctant to make sacrifices, except on the altar of our children. And what is the purpose of our childrens lives? Their own children. And so on, all the way down. But instead of focusing overwhelmingly on the interests of the next generation , politicians should give more space to the previous generation. We should begin by allowing older people to take far more political responsibility in local communities…. Our older population is the most impressive, self-sacrificing and imaginative part of our entire community. They are almost the last people who belong to political parties, the last who maintain our churches, the most generous and dedicated supporters of all our charities. They are our last fragile link to deeper history. They are also people who can find themselves in extremes of poverty (fuel poverty, in particular), of isolation, of loneliness and of hopelessness in the wait for death, unimaginable to anyone younger. We are not respecting them and, as a society, we are not making use of their extraordinary talents… If we are looking for redemption for the young, and a mission for our society, it could be in our care for the older generation: finding fulfilment and delight in relationships with the elderly and in helping the elderly. We should admire and learn from them. This is possible. On every street corner in Kabul, you can see a teenager in stonewashed jeans raising his head from scowling at his phone and moving with genuine delight to talk to an older person. I would like to see us begin to do the same here. Instead of building a world that;s only fit for our children, I would like to see us building a world fit for our parents Rory Stewart is Conservative MP for Penrith For guidance, questions, and tours of The Lodge Assisted Living, call Linda Davis 208-755-3637.
