TURKEY by Janet Spencer
The average annual consumption of turkey has increased from 8.3 pounds (3.5 kg) in 1975 to 18.5 pounds (8 kg) today. Come along with Tidbits as we talk turkey! TASTY TURKEY ● Turkey meat is higher in protein and lower in fat and calories than many other meats, averaging 26 percent protein and 11 percent fat. It has 25 percent less fat than roast beef, and 46 percent less than pork loin. Skin accounts for six percent of the bird’s weight. The highest concentrations of fat are found in the skin and the pan drippings, which is why you should avoid both. TURKEY FACTS ● The size of an average turkey breast has increased 22 percent since 1979. ● A typical turkey will consume 110,000 calories in its lifetime. ● It takes 3 lbs (1.3 kg) of feed to produce one pound of turkey, but it takes 7 lbs (3 kg) of feed to produce one pound (.4 kg) of beef. ● A typical 15-pound (6.8 kg) bird will have 70 percent white meat and 30 percent dark meat. ● The fi rst meal eaten on the moon by Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin in 1969 consisted of a foil packet full of turkey with trimmings.

TURKEY QUESTIONS ANSWERED ● You go to buy a turkey, and wonder how big a bird you should get. An 11 lb. (5 kg) turkey will yield 5 to 6 lbs. (2.2 kg) of meat. The bigger the bird, the greater the ratio of meat to bones, so the cheaper the serving. You wonder if it would be more economical to get a turkey breast, roast, or roll. Whole turkeys are cheaper per serving. Sometimes turkeys are so cheap that you wonder if you should stock up. A frozen turkey will keep for up to a year if stored at zero degrees (-18 c). You wonder if you should get a self-basting bird. According to taste tests, there is no reason to choose a self-basting bird over one that is not self-basted. Basted birds have more salt. You wonder how long it will take to thaw. It should be thawed in the fridge for 24 hours for each 5 lbs. (2.2 kg) of weight. You debate between homemade or Stove-Top. Stuff the bird at the very last minute before cooking to cut down on bacteria, or cook it unstuffed. SMOKED TURKEY ● To celebrate the wealth of turkey farms in the area, the town of Frazee, Minnesota erected a gigantic turkey statue. Standing 22 feet (6.7 m) tall, it was billed as the world’s largest turkey. On July 1, 1998, city workers wanted to spiff up Big Tom (as he was called) in preparation for the annual Turkey Days Festival. However, they decided to clean the fi berglass and paper maché statue with blow torches. Big Tom caught fi re and burned to the ground. But civic pride kicked in and by September, another equally impressive Big Tom was installed in its place. WHITE vs DARK ● Myoglobin is the dark-colored protein that stores oxygen in muscles of some animals, just like hemoglobin stores oxygen in red blood cells. The oxygen stored by myoglobin is used for power to drive muscles, and is present in large amounts in muscles that do a lot of work, such as the legs. Muscles that do little work, such as the breast, have less myoglobin.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that means millions of Americans are prepping for the heartiest, most coveted meal of the year. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, and pie will all grace the dining room table at many household celebrations. Just how much of these Thanksgiving foods are consumed?
Saluting Our Military Dogs
Don’t worry if cooking a Thanksgiving feast is too daunting. The National Restaurant Association estimates Fourteen million Americans feel the same way and are planning to eat out this year. Another 16 million will order takeout for at least part or all of their Thanksgiving meal.

DEAR JOHN: You said it! There are actually about 3,000 military working dogs in all branches of service, and they've played a crucial role in protecting U.S. forces since at least World War I. They've served as trackers, sentries, scouts and bomb sniffers, and assisted military police in their duties. So, how can you recognize, honor or even help military working dogs today? Here are a few ideas. --Learn about heroic military working dogs and read their stories at DogsofHonor.com, or read the book "Soldier

Check out these jaw-dropping stats. Apple, pecan, and pumpkin are the most popular Thanksgiving picks but it was Ohio that won the World Record for the largest pumpkin pie back in 2010. The prodigious pie, baked by the New Bremen Giant Pumpkin Growers, weighed a whopping 3,699 pounds and was 20 feet in diameter. The ingredient list was just as impressive as the actual pie since the recipe required 187 cans of pumpkin, 233 dozen eggs, 109 gallons of evaporated milk, 525 pounds of sugar, 7 pounds of salt, 14.5 pounds of cinnamon, and 3 pounds of pumpkin pie spice.

THE INVALUABLE SNOOD ● Besides the fl eshy wattle that hangs below a turkey’s chin, a male turkey also has a fl eshy appendage that hangs over its beak called a snood. The snood indicates virility and stretches to twice its length during the macho strutting preceding mating. The ladies prefer a long snood. The snood also plays an important role in the rivalry between males. Males will access the length of a rival’s snood before engaging in battle. One researcher wanted to fi nd out just how important the snood is. He constructed two turkey decoys and placed them three feet apart in a small arena. Each of the decoys stood next to a pile of birdseed. The decoys were identical except that one had a large snood and the other’s snood was small. One at a time, the researcher placed 28 young male turkeys into the yard and waited to see what would happen. Only four of the 28 turkeys took birdseed from the pile in front of the decoy with a huge snood, while 17 stole seed from the decoy with the smaller snood. Seven of the real turkeys stole birdseed from both decoys. The researcher theorized that the length of the snood may be determined by the bird’s testosterone level. WILD vs DOMESTIC ● One difference between wild and domestic turkeys is that the domestic variety is unable to fl y, whereas wild birds are extremely good fl iers. They need no runway for takeoff, can climb vertically, are capable of attaining speeds of 40 m.p.h. (64 km) in the air, and can glide for a mile (1.6 km) without fl uttering a wing.

● It was noted wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: "Every saint has a past and every sinner a future." ● It seems that having blond hair was popular in ancient Rome, too. Those not naturally blessed with golden hair, though, had to go through a bit of an ordeal to change their natural color. The treatment of choice was pigeon droppings. Messy, perhaps, but effective. ● Those who study such things say that dung beetles use the Milky Way as a navigational aid. ● In June 2009, the town of Cave Creek, Ariz., was faced with an electoral tie in the race for a city council seat: Each candidate received exactly 660 votes. According to the state constitution, such ties can be broken by a game of chance. After some discussion, the candidates agreed that they would each pull a card at random out of a deck, and the one with the highest card would be declared the winner of the election. Thomas McGuire drew the six of hearts, then waited while his opponent, Adam Trenk, took his turn. Trenk pulled the king of hearts, securing his city council victory. ● You may be surprised to learn that clams can live to be 200 years old. ● If you're of a morbid inclination and have some time to kill in Chicago, head to that city's Graceland Cemetery. Find the monument known as "Eternal Silence" -- a tall figure in robes -- and look into the statue's eyes. It's said that if you do that, you'll have a vision of your own death. Thought for the Day: "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -- E.B. White

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 TURKEY HISTORY ● Turkeys originated in Central and North America. Archeologists have found turkey fossils over 10 million years old. They’re the only breed of poultry native to the Western Hemisphere. There are two species of wild turkey: the Yucatan turkey inhabits Central America, and the North American turkey lives in the U.S. TURKEY TALK ● No one is sure where the word “turkey” came from. Some claim that when Columbus saw them, he thought they were related to the peacock. Because he thought he was in India, and because the word for peacock in India is “tuka,” he named them thusly. Others say that it got its name because it was imported through the country of Turkey. Still others swear it was because the bird’s head resembles the helmet of Turkish soldiers. Some think it’s because the call of the bird sounds like “turk-turk-turk.” ACCORDING TO GUINNESS: ● Vincent Pilkington of Ireland plucked a turkey bald in one minute, 30 seconds on November 17, 1980, making him the world’s fastest turkey plucker. ● One of the world’s largest turkey farms is located in Norfolk, Britain and is owned by Bernard Matthews. Over a million birds per year are raised there. ● One of the heaviest turkeys ever raised weighed 86 pounds (39 kg) dressed out, which is about the size of a large German shepherd dog. It won the annual Heaviest Turkey competition in London in 1989.

The tree’s seeds were unable to sprout until they had been ground down by the dodo’s digestive tract. The dodo had no natural enemies and therefore had developed no defenses. When man came accompanied by rats, dogs, and guns, the dodo died off, and it looked like the calvaria tree was soon to follow. At one point there were only 13 of the trees left in the world, some of them more than 300 years old. Then a professor from Wisconsin fed the seeds to turkeys, whose gizzards did the job that the dodo used to do. Just in the nick of time, the calvaria tree was saved from the dodo’s fate.
WOMEN IN HISTORY ANNIE JUMP CANNON ● Annie Jump Cannon was born in 1863 to Elizabeth Jump and Wilson Lee Cannon. Growing up in Delaware, her mother taught her the names of all the constellations in the sky, imbuing her with a lifelong interest in astronomy. Annie excelled in school and was particularly adept at mathematics. ● In 1880 she enrolled in Wellesley College in Massachusetts, one of the top schools for women in a day and age when women rarely attended college. Here, a bout with scarlet fever left her nearly deaf, a handicap that barely slowed her pace. ● After graduating with a degree in physics in 1884, she returned home to Delaware, where she grew bored. When her mother died in 1894, she knew it was time for a change. She wrote to her former professor at Wellesley to see if there was a job opening at the school. The professor hired her to be an assistant, and the job allowed Annie to take graduate courses at the college. ● A new course in astronomy caught her attention, as did a class in spectroscopy, where she learned the science behind the dispersion of light. She was also fanatically interested in photography. Later she enrolled at Radcliffe Women’s College at Harvard in order to gain access to the Harvard College Observatory. There she caught the attention of noted astronomy Edward Pickering. ● Pickering hired Annie to be his assistant at the observatory. His project was to map, define, and catalog every possible star in the sky. He paid Annie and a bevy of other astronomically inclined women a wage of 25 cents per hour for their labor, at a time when the secretaries at the college were earning up to a dollar per hour. Soon the work got bogged down because the system used to classify stars was bulky, difficult, and complex.
1. Is the book of Judah in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. From Revelation 4, what stone resembles the rainbow circling God's throne in Heaven? Emerald, Ruby, Pearl, Gold 3. Of these books, which comes before the others in the Bible (KJV)? Titus, Jude, Colossians, Galatians 4. From Genesis 34, who boasted to his two wives that he had killed a young man? Baanah, Herod, Lamech, Jehu 5. To whom did Luke address the books of Luke and Acts? Ishmael, Theophilus, John the Baptist, Stephen 6. Who was the father of Isaac? Aaron, Noah, Abraham, Peter

ANNIE JUMP CANNON contd ● Annie went to work on the problem, and soon devised a simpler system of star classification based on stellar temperatures. The system, called the Harvard Classification Scheme, was so successful that it was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922 as the official system for stellar classification. It is still being used today. ● Annie’s career in astronomy spanned more than forty years. She received a doctorate of astronomy, became the curator of the Harvard Observatory, and was appointed as an official Harvard astronomer. Harvard officials also named her Curator of Astronomical Photographs. She was the first woman ever to receive an honorary degree from Oxford, and the first woman ever elected an officer of the American Astronomical Society. In addition, she received the prestigious Henry Draper Medal from the National Academy of Sciences, one of the highest honors available to any astronomy. Only one other woman has ever won it. ● The only time her deafness got in the way of her career was when she was nominated for membership in the National Academy of Sciences, but not elected, after a noted biologist made an issue of her deafness. ● Over the course of nearly half a century, she classified and cataloged around a quarter of a million stars, causing Time magazine to label her “Census Taker of the Sky.” She also discovered about 300 new stars. In 1923 she was voted one of the twelve greatest living American women by the League of Women Voters. ● She died in 1941, having lived long enough to see women win a grudging place in the world of science. In her honor the American Association of University Women presents the Annie J. Cannon Award each year to a woman beginning her astronomical career.

● A fl atworm, when cut in half, will regenerate both missing halves to form two complete new worms. McConnell and Thompson in 1953 taught fl atworms that a bright light would be followed by an electric shock. Soon the worms curled into a ball whenever a light was shown, before the shock came. Now McConnell and Thompson wondered if you cut the worms in half and let them regenerate, which half would remember the knowledge? Experiments showed both halves remembered equally well. Another researcher split a worm halfway down the middle, resulting in a two-headed worm. Two heads, he discovered, are better than one, as two-headed worms were able to learn faster than one-headed worms. ● Planarians are small fl atworms that live in ponds and streams. Dr. William Corning put a number of them in a bowl fi lled with water. He then turned on a bright light and followed it with a mild electric shock. The worms curled into a tight ball when they received the shock. Dr. Corning wanted to see if he could teach the worms to curl up in a ball before they received the shock. Two days later, when he turned on the bright light prior to giving them the shock, he was amazed to see the worms climb out of the water and perch on the bowl’s rim! ● Between 20 to 30% of Florida’s citrus trees are killed by weevils which attack the roots. Nematodes (tiny worms) can control weevils, but they die quickly if the soil dries out. Enter super slurper—a modifi ed corn starch product that absorbs water like a sponge and retains it. Scientists hope that soon citrus farmers will be able to buy pre-packaged nematodes, mix them with super slurper, and sprinkle them on the roots before planting. The result is happy nematodes, unhappy weevils, and happy citrus farmers. ● The sheep-liver fl uke is a small worm which hatches inside a snail. The snail ejects it in a ball of slime. The slime is then eaten by a passing ant, whereupon the fl uke makes its way to the ant’s brain. There it takes over the ant, forcing it to sit on top of a piece of grass, where a sheep soon eats it. From there the fl uke makes its way to the sheep’s liver, thereby completing the cycle.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 ● The tardigrade is a type of microscopic worm. The name tardigrade is Latin for ‘slow walker.’ It has six tiny legs with claws, two eyes, and a mouth adapted to piercing and sucking out the contents of plants and other microscopic creatures. The tardigrade is unusual because it is capable of going into suspended animation. Its body is normally 85% water, but when conditions are dry, it dehydrates to the point of being just a husk, and can survive in a state of apparent death for decades. Tardigrades have been placed into vacuums; kept for months in pure hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, carbonic acid, and hydrogen sulphide; stored for months in liquid air at -392°F.; exposed to liquid helium at -519°; and dried for hours in temperatures up to 300°F. Still, when placed in room temperature water, they revived every time. Scientists examined a museum specimen of dried moss, found tardigrade husks in it, and revived them. They had been in suspended animation for 120 years. FAST FACTS ● A type of parasitic worm lives only under the eyes of a hippo, surviving on its tears. ● Worms, fl ies, and snails have hearts. ● A robin can eat up to 14 feet (4 m) worth of worms in a day. ● Earthworms have no lungs. They breathe through their skin.

Hospitalized Vets Need Holiday Cheer If your veterans service group is planning to make a "Santa" visit to the ward of a local veterans hospital, here is your to-do list to make the process go smoothly. --Corral your crew and get commitments for time and specifi c tasks. --Contact Volunteer Services at the medical center and ask if they'd like you to be responsible for a holiday party for a whole ward, or for a list of veterans who have no local family. Set a time and date. Noon-ish for a pizza party is ideal. --Locate a real Santa costume and decide who's going to wear it. --Your shopping list: service baseball caps (approach recruiters to get those), small boxes of candy (ask nursing staff if it has to be sugar-free for some), playing cards, water bottles, mechanical pencils and puzzle books, small desk calendars -- and anything else you can think of. Don't forget the women veterans, who might like a comb and brush set or bright slipper socks. --Boxes and tissue paper for the above, as well as wrapping paper and bows. Have a holiday card for each veteran. --Set a date for your wrapping party. Have everyone on your crew bring several rolls of gift wrap, tape and scissors. Be sure everyone signs every holiday card. --If your budget allows, consider giving each veteran a small ($5-$10) gift coupon to the canteen. --Ask store managers for donations of items for your gift boxes. --Arrange for the pizzas (and sodas, if allowed) to be delivered at the time of your party. Be sure who is providing plates, cups and napkins, and paying for the pizza delivery. If gifts aren't possible, remember that what the veterans want most is your presence and your time.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 DIY Furnace Maintenance Q: Can I do some furnace maintenance myself? I don't want to pay for a contractor to come every year just to tell me the furnace is fine. -- Clive T., Minneapolis A: While it's important to have a heating professional check your system at the start of fall or winter, you can handle some maintenance tasks in between that will keep your system in good shape and reduce the number of more expensive repairs you may need later. First, make sure the air fi lter is changed monthly during heating season. To improve air intake further, vacuum away dust from the outer cabinet door. Vacuum the air registers in the house to remove dust and make sure nothing is blocking them, like furniture or dropped items. Within the unit, clean the blower or fan inside by turning off the heating system completely. Access the fan compartment and clean either the blower or fan blades (depending on your system) with a bottle brush. Using a vacuum with a hose attachment makes picking up the dust bunnies easier. Beyond the heating unit, visually inspect the air ducts and make sure they're in good shape, not damaged or loose. If a duct is loose where two of them meet, reattach snugly using sheet metal screws. Seal the seam with aluminized tape, pressing out air bubbles, so that air fl ows smoothly through the duct without leaking.

You Can Solve Any Problem “I suppose you think you’re problems are worse than mine, right? Well let me tell you something, pal – you don’t know anything about having problems until you’ve taken a good look at MY problems, so cut me a little slack here, OK?” Is that how you feel about your problems? Do you think no one else has ever faced what you face? Does it look like your problems are huge while everyone else’s insignificant? Here are five universal truths concerning problems. Universal truth #1: Everyone has problems. My counseling professor at Creighton University, Robert McEniry, MA, Ph.D., SJ, told our class that you could walk up to anyone on the street and say in an empathetic tone of voice, “I heard about your problem” and though you wouldn’t know what it really was, they would, because everyone has problems. Universal truth #2: You’ll never be without problems. Both rich and poor people have money problems. Both married and single people have relationship problems. Both men and women have gender issues. Both teenagers and octogenarians have aging problems. No matter whom you are or where you live or how much you have or don’t have, one thing you will always have are problems. Universal truth #3: Problems are what give meaning to life. If you’ve ever been on an extended vacation you
may recall how happy you were to finally get back to work. Doing nothing, having no challenges, living life with ease, does not make life meaningful; it makes it boring. Universal truth #4: Most problems can be solved. Remember your middle school math classes and the multiplication and division problems you had to solve? For some, especially me, those were very difficult problems that required an intense amount of attention to find a solution, but they all had a solution. It didn’t seem like it at the time, but those math problems were good training for life: most problems can be solved! And lastly, Universal truth #5: People who are good at solving problems have a solutions oriented mindset – not a problem oriented mindset. People who see problems as opportunities and who live their lives as victors are much better at solving problems than those with a negative attitude and a victim mentality. Even though the problems you face may be huge, complicated and even life threatening, believe you can solve them. It is possible that the solutions to your problems may call forth from you the very best you have and may demand from you great courage, faith, and persistence. If so, remind yourself often that you are something special because you were born with all the skills required and all the resources necessary to resolve all the problems you face.

Early Detection of Colon Cancer
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: The thought of colon cancer makes me cringe. My father died of it. Colonoscopy wasn't done in those days. I'm interested in learning all the ways to diagnose colon cancer in its early stages. Can you give me the rundown? -- N.C. ANSWER: Colon cancer makes everyone cringe. It's the third most common cancer in men, being surpassed only by prostate and lung cancer. It's the third most common cancer in women, with breast and lung cancer coming in first and second place. Colonoscopy, the inspection of the colon with a telescope-like device, has greatly reduced deaths from colon cancer. Not only does this exam give doctors a comprehensive view of the colon, but it allows them to biopsy suspicious areas and suspicious polyps. Almost all colon cancers start out as polyps. A polyp looks a bit like a small plant breaking through the soil. A simple test for colon cancer is examining a stool specimen for occult (hidden) blood. Even early cancers can cause minor bleeding. Another stool test is FIT, fecal immunochemical test, a way of detecting hidden blood by a different method. Both of these tests are done yearly. A test that detects altered DNA -- cancerous changes in colon cells -- is a third test done on feces. It is constantly being fine-tuned. Double-contrast barium enema was the chief test for
colon cancer detection until colonoscopy was widely adopted. It's still a useful test. Barium is introduced into the colon through the rectum, and then the barium is drained. What's left is a thin coat of barium on the colon wall. Next, air is passed into the colon. The result is a clear picture of the colon lining and a clear picture of any incipient cancer. CT (computed tomography) colonography, also called virtual colonoscopy because the procedure produces pictures similar to what's seen by the naked eye in a colonoscopy, is a scan after air is pumped into the colon. If you're deciding which test is most appropriate for you, depend on your doctor's judgment. The pamphlet on colon cancer treats this subject in detail. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 505W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient's printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In order to play college sports, my son was required to have a physical, which included an EKG. According to my son, everything was fine, and the examining doctor put no limitations on what he could do. According to the EKG report, a copy of which was sent to us, he has sinus bradycardia. Does this have any bearing on his playing college-level sports? -- E.F. ANSWER: Sinus bradycardia is a slow heartbeat, one less than 60 beats (some say 50) a minute. If the doctor found nothing else wrong and if your son has no symptoms, sinus bradycardia isn't a health concern. Athletes, almost as a rule, have a slow heartbeat. Their conditioning has made their hearts more-efficient pumps. They eject more blood with each heartbeat, so they need fewer beats.
I recently purchased a small, inexpensive manual treadmill. Unlike the electric ones, this one doesn't need to be within cord distance of a wall plug, and it's not so heavy that I can't move it. It goes at the speed I set with my own legs. And it didn't cost the many hundreds of dollars that an electric treadmill does. If you're in good health (and your doctor approves), with only a few pieces of equipment, you can get in mild workouts this winter without having to go to the gym when it's cold or wet outside. Consider acquiring a few of these: --Hand weights: Start small, unless you've already been working out at the gym on a regular basis. A 3-pound or 5-pound weight might be all you need to get started. --"For seniors" workout videos: If you're not sure about a treadmill, look for a workout video that emphasizes walking in place. --If you have room, think about a sit-down pedaler like a recumbent bicycle instead of a treadmill. They even make these with only the pedal part, which you use while sitting in a chair. Some of them can even be used for your arms, with the peddler put on a chair in front of you. --Squeeze balls for hand and finger strength. --Wrist or ankle weights. (Hint: get the kind with the removable weights so you can adjust for your own comfort.) Shop first at Goodwill or the Salvation Army, or local ads in your area. Next look in the big-box stores to fill in what you can't find elsewhere. Search online for "seniors home-workout equipment" for ideas, but try to buy in person locally. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com.
