It’s National Apple Week, and there’s no better time for Tidbits to take a closer look at one of nature’s most delicious and healthful treats. So grab your basket and follow along as we pick a few facts about the world’s most favorite fruit! • There are more than 7,500 known varieties of apples, each with its own specific characteristics and qualities. Some are tart, some are sweet. Some are meant for eating fresh, some for cooking, and still others for cider production. • The Malus domestica, better known as the apple tree, originated in eastern Turkey. More apples are grown in China than any other nation, about half of the world’s supply. The United States is a distant second, producing about 5% of the world’s apples, while Turkey is in third place. About 70 million tons of apples are grown worldwide annually. • When the Pilgrims arrived in North America in the 17th century, they discovered the crabapple, but disliked its sour and woody taste. The colonists requested that seeds and cuttings be sent from England on subsequent voyages, and North America’s first apple orchard was planted in Boston in 1625.

• Carrey first became well-known in 1990, when he landed a regular slot on the comedy show In Living Color. The year 1994 was a big one for Carrey, as he had the leading role in three hits, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask. An Ace Ventura sequel came out the following year and Carrey’s stardom was secured. He took over the role of The Riddler in 1995’s Batman Forever.

JIM CARREY

• Jim Carrey is not all about crazy facial expressions, flexible body movements, and slapstick comedy. In 1998, he took on a serious role in the critically-acclaimed The Truman Show, which garnered Carrey his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.

• When he was 10 years old, Carrey wrote to Carol Burnett, asking if he could appear on her variety show. He never received a reply. Years later, however, his dream of starring with the famed comedienne came true when the two of them did voice-overs in Horton Hears a Who.

of the Golden Delicious apple varies depending on the climate. When grown in a cool climate, the amount of acid increases, resulting in a sweeter taste, while in a warmer climate, the acid quantity is lower, and the apple has a milder flavor. This variety was first discovered on a West Virginia farm in 1890 and was known for 25 years as the Mullins Yellow Seedling before being renamed. The Golden Delicious has been used as a parent to develop several other varieties including the Gala, Ambrosia, Pink lady, and Jonagold.

● A proverb of unknown origin states, “The length of a piece of wood can only be too short on one end.” ● A Neanderthal’s brain was actually larger than the brain of a modern human. ● Keep an eye on the weather in your part of the country, it may be a sign of things to come. An old saying goes, “Much rain in October, much wind in December.” ● A famous and oft-quoted line from Sherlock Holmes is “How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?” However, author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle didn’t come up with that one himself; he took it from a story by Edgar Allan Poe, another pioneer of the detective genre. ● Just as bears do, many frogs hibernate. A frog will burrow down into the mud at the bottom of a pond and, not being able to use its lungs to breathe, it will absorb the oxygen in the water through its skin. ● Everywhere you go these days, you see people carrying around bottles of water. I wonder if they realize how much money they’re spending? At $1.49 for a 9-ounce bottle of Evian, a gallon would cost $21.19. It could be worse, though. Pepto-Bismol is $123.20 a gallon.

first. Squirrels can in fact climb trees faster than they can run on the ground. They also have especially sensitive whiskers known as vibrissae on their head and limbs, which gives them an exceptional sense of touch.

A Few Facts About

• Squirrels are the cleanest animal in the rodent family, taking a long time to perform grooming tasks. Surprisingly, the male takes twice as long as the female to groom itself.

Squirrels Did you know that October is Squirrel Awareness Month? We see these furry little creatures almost everywhere, but how much do you know about this ubiquitous family of rodents? Follow along and see! • Scuiridae is a family of small or medium-size rodents that includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, woodchucks, gophers, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are the largest group of living mammals, with over 360 species making up 40% of all mammal species. • The word “squirrel” has its origins in the ancient Greek language from the word Skiouros, which translates “shadow-tailed.” • The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel with a length of just 2.8 to 3.9 inches and a weight of 0.35 oz. The largest, the Alpine marmot, living high in the Alps and Pyrenees mountains, grows up to 29 inches long, and can weigh up to18 pounds. • In order to remain healthy, an adult squirrel must eat about a pound of food every week. The average squirrel enjoys a diet of nuts, seeds, and fruit, but will consume bird eggs, bugs, and even the dead carcass of another animal if other food is scarce. The brain of most squirrels is about the size of a walnut.

manageable length. • Squirrels may live fifteen or twenty years in captivity, but their life span in the wild is only about one year. They fall prey to disease, malnutrition, predators, cars, and humans. Many naturalists have concluded that a peanut diet is harmful to squirrels: it seems to result in a weakening of eyesight and a thinning of the animal’s pelt.

• President Dwight Eisenhower, an avid golfer, developed a strong dislike for squirrels when he found their digging was ruining the private putting green he had installed on the White House lawn.

When it gets extremely cold, however, they will allow other squirrels into their nests to conserve body heat. But as soon as temperatures begin to rise, they immediately revert back to their solitary lifestyle.

• Ever wonder how a squirrel finds the nuts later after it’s buried them? Before burying them, the squirrel licks the nut to apply its personal scent to it.

please tell me when season three will return? -- John F., Palm Springs, Calif.

Q: I know it won’t start back up until

next year, but can you give me any scoop about “Hannibal”? -- Linda F., Galveston, Texas

As we saw in the season-two finale, Gillian Anderson’s character, Dr. Bedelia du Maurier, was more than just Hannibal Lector’s psychologist -she’s his getaway buddy (possibly lover?). Executive producer Bryan Fuller confirmed that Gillian has been bumped up from a recurring character to series regular. He also teased that when the show returns in 2015, it will be one year after Hannibal and BeGillian Anderson delia jetted off to Europe (after the bloodbath that he caused at his house), and that the show will feel like “a pilot for a new series starring Mads Mikkelsen and Gillian Anderson.” Bryan Fuller told TVLine.com: “The cast and crew of ‘Hannibal’ are positively giddy to be welcoming Gillian to season three as a series regular. A striking presence on stage and screen, she brings wit, grace and intelligence to every role she embodies. Screenwriting is so much easier when you’re inspired by a great actor, and Gillian has filled the ‘Hannibal’ writers room with wonderful inspiration. I can’t wait for audiences to see her make a bigger meal out of ‘the Cannibal’ than ever before.” ***

“Banshee” will return for a new season in early 2015. The series -- which is executiveproduced by one of my favorite authors, Jonathan Tropper, and one of my favorite screenwriters, Alan Ball -- centers on Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who tracks down Carrie Hopewell, his former lover and partner in crime, who is now the wife of the Banshee, Pa., prosecutor. Lucas becomes Banshee’s sheriff and continues his criminal activities, even though he’s being hunted by the criminals he betrayed years earlier. A bit of a spoiler for you: Jonathan Tropper revealed that while Proctor still will be an important nemesis for Lucas, Chayton will be back in a big way. Also, Dennis O’Hare, whom I loved on “True Blood,” will guest-star on one episode. ***

Will “Cougar Town” be back for another season? -- Carly T., via email

The Cul-de-Sac Crew will return to TBS for its sixth and final season in early 2015. SPOILER ALERT: Brian Van Holt, who plays the hilariously dim-witted Bobby Cobb, will be leaving the series early, with his final appearance in the season-six opener. ***

Q: I was happy to read in your column

that “Beauty and the Beast” would be returning, but I haven’t seen it on the CW’s fall schedule. -- Tina R., via email

A: The cop drama/romance/fantasy series will return for a third season as a midseason show, which means sometime in early to spring 2015.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

Readers Report NokOut to the Rescue Faithful readers know I’m crazy for the product Nok-Out. I travel with it and live it with. Actually, I wouldn’t want to live without it. ® Nok-Out is both an odor eliminator and germicide (bacterial and viral). The best thing: No by Mary Hunt fumes, no perfume -- absolutely not toxic. It looks like water, safe for pets, home and even the kitchen. Nok-Out is not a room freshener that tries to cover up odors. It truly knocks them out! As I would expect from something I use and suggest that you need to consider too, I get lots of feedback from readers and questions and comments now and then. Here are some:

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

“I’m traveling soon, so I eagerly followed your advice by ordering Nok-Out to take along. But I’m puzzled because the product makes none of the claims you mention. In fact, there is no indication it has any disinfectant properties, only instructs for use as a deodorizer. So what’s the deal with Nok-Out?” -- Ruth

“I have found another use for Nok-Out that you haven’t mentioned. My front-loading washer smelled moldy, and so did my clothes. I read the article on NokOut.com about cleaning it with NokOut and followed the directions exactly. It only took one application, and I found the funky smell is the rubber gasket. Now, I give it a spray of Nok-Out on a regular basis to keep mold from re-forming. My clothes smell good, and we are safer for not having mildew spores hiding in our towels and clothing. Thank You. I just love it.” -- Diane

“I am sensitive to smells. It makes me sick to be around strong fragrances. I have used NokOut on dog urine odors in the hallway of my house and found it to be exactly what I needed. The urine odor is gone, and my nose was happy too. I am re-

Dogs Ready to Aid Vets If you’re a veteran with PTSD that hasn’t been handled well thus far, or a veteran with a service-related disability, here’s a possible answer for you: dogs. Specially trained Guide and Service dogs are available for veterans who are blind or disabled by physical, traumatic brain injury or PTSD.  Patriot PAWS Service Dogs (patriotpaws. org) trains service dogs to perform services for disabled veterans with the goal of increasing the veteran’s self-sufficiency. Here’s a partial list of what the dogs are trained to do: Get help in emergencies, recognize PTSD episodes, take off shoes and socks, help with laundry (who knew?). Contact Patriot PAWS at 972-772-3282 or office@patriotpaws.org.  America’s Vet Dogs (www.vetdogs.org) covers a wide range when it comes to matching dogs with veterans. Dogs are trained for vision and hearing assistance, climbing stairs and so much more for seriously injured veterans. It also provides dogs for physical and occupational therapy at Walter Reed. Contact 1-866-838-3647 or info@vetdogs.org. The Department of Veterans Affairs will take care of most of the costs of providing eligible veterans with Guide or Service dogs. See www.va.gov/ health/ser viceandguidedogs.asp for the specifics. Approved veterans will be referred to Assistance Dogs International (www.assistancedogsinternational.org) for Service dogs and to National Association of Guide Dog Users (www.nagdu.org) for Guide dogs. The VA pays for the cost of a dog and its training, as well as veterinary care, but not for subsequent expenses like food. If you don’t need services but want to help veterans who do, go online to America’s Fund (americasfund.org), an arm of the Semper Fi organization. This non-profit charity steps in to help veterans with adaptive transportation, home modifications and emergency funding. It consistently gets A-plus and 4-star ratings from the big charity watchdogs. If you can, open your wallet and send them some money.

3. The weekly “Brain Breaker”

By Matthew By Matthew Margolis Margolis

Watching Cancer Grow Owning an aggressive dog and doing nothing about it is like watching a cancer grow. That cancer turns out to be especially insidious when you add small children to the equation. You know on some level it’s not going to end well. And usually, it’s the dog that gets burned.

Created by Tom Underwood

Couples who at first are married without kids often get a dog to dote on and hone their caretaking skills. They know they want to have kids someday, but someday seems so very far away. Years go by, and the dog rarely if ever is exposed to children. He’s living large, the center of attention, and then one day his whole world flips upside down -- and he’s none too pleased.

(Wuzzles answers on page 16)

Here’s another scenario, sent to me from a dog owner looking for help:

We are looking to find a non-kid house for our 6-year-old dog. He has bitten two children in the past three months, one of which was my 1-year-old. Some say he is jealous, but we feel he has issues isolated to children. He came to us at 3 months of age and growled at a little girl that same week. He had two years of obedience training with a retired K-9 cop who trains police dogs. My heart is breaking for my children and for my husband and I, as parting with him was the furthest thing from our minds. However, the next time it may be a face or worse. Please help. He does quite well with adults, and we fear he is miserable here with the kids. A little shy of six years ago, this couple saw the beginnings of a tumor and let it go. They did the right thing in getting obedience training for the dog, but obedience training isn’t enough when dealing with an aggressive dog, and K-9 training is its own beast that has nothing to do with socializing a dog and curbing or eliminating aggression targeted toward children.

Taiwan: In a long study of married couples, it was learned that a husband’s health impacts the health of the wife. When a husband’s health declined, the wife’s glucose levels increase. But when a wife’s health declined, the husband’s glucose levels remained the same. Possible reasons: A wife may feel isolated and depressed, and an inadequate diet (from being so busy) can raise the glucose levels -- and the risk of diabetes.

About 40 years ago, a national organization conducted a poll of people in their 20s and asked them this question: “In the future, do you think you are more likely to see a Martian or to see a Social Security check?” It may not surprise you to learn that a vast majority of the respondents picked the Martian. In other words, young people back in the 1970s thought it was more likely that they would encounter little green men from outer space than a little green government check with their name on it! Well guess what? Those folks (who are still alive) are now all in their 60s. Not a one of them has ever seen a Martian, but almost all of them see a little green government check each month. (Well, they see a notice from their bank indicating that a Social Security check has been deposited into their account.) I am reminded of that survey almost every day because almost every day I hear some young person tell me that they are convinced Social Security will not be there for them when they get old. I’ve been hearing these gloom and doom predictions for 40 years now. Back in 1973, shortly after I was hired and trained by the Social Security Administration, I was sent out to talk to a local service club about the program. After I gave a little speech, the very first question (actually it was more of a comment) I got went something like this: “I don’t know why you bother telling us all about these so-called government benefits. We all know Social Security won’t be around very much longer.” Other people in the room nodded in agreement. I don’t recall exactly how I responded. Probably not very well. I just recall being taken aback by all the negative reactions to the government program I now represented. A few days after that speech, I was sharing that story with a much older colleague; someone who had started working in public affairs for SSA in 1940, just a few years after the program began. And he told me the very first comment he heard when he gave his first speech about the program was along these lines: “We all know that Social Security is a big government boondoggle shoved down our throats by the New Deal Democrats. I assure you the program will die even before FDR does!” (For those too young to remember, FDR was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who died in 1945.) What is it with the American people and their negative expectations for the Social Security program? I guess I can understand the guy back in 1940 wondering about the future of the program. After all, it was only a few years old then. But by the 1970s, Social Security had been around for almost 40 years. Why were the young baby boomers so pessimistic? It probably had something to do with their distrust of authority figures and government in general. But today, Social Security is pushing its 80th anniversary. How long must the program be around before people finally accept the fact that it’s here to stay? Whenever young people ask me, “Will it be there when I need it?” I respond in two ways. First, I ask them this question: “When will you need it?” Then I tell them that I needed Social Security when I was 10 years old. They usually look a little puzzled until I reveal to them that my dad died when I was a little kid. Shortly thereafter, my mother, brothers and sister and I started getting monthly survivor’s benefits. I then point out that there are about six mil-

But the second and more important point I make to young Social Security skeptics has to do with the future of the program. I tell them that their “Will it be there when I need it?” question is the wrong one. They really should be asking: “How is Social Security going to change?” And that’s because Social Security is not going away. It has been around for 80 years, and will be around for as long as our country is around. But the program has changed a lot in the last eight decades, and it will change as needed into the future. Then I tell these young people that they should be getting involved in the debate about the future of Social Security. Sadly, that suggestion usually falls on deaf ears. I understand why. When you are in your 20s and 30s, you’ve got a lot of things to think about: jobs, spouses, children, mortgages, etc. Social Security is WAY back on a young person’s list of priorities. But the reason young people should be involved in the debate about the future of Social Security is because when Congress finally gets around to dealing with Social Security reform, whatever major changes are enacted will impact those very young folks who don’t have the time to worry about it. For example, almost for sure the retirement age will be increased as part of a reform package. That change will not impact any of today’s retirees or even anyone even close to their retirement years. But it will impact younger people.

M.D.

Diet Can Cut Risk of Prostate Cancer DEAR DR. ROACH: Do you believe that lycopene, which is found in certain foods such as cooked tomatoes, can help prevent prostate cancer? -- C.R.O. ANSWER: Lycopene, a vitamin A-like substance found in tomatoes and watermelons, was indeed thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Unfortunately, further studies failed to support this. What has been shown more substantially is that a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables helps reduce risk for and even helps treat prostate (and other) cancer. So it may be that lycopene by itself isn’t enough, but that all the different healthy substances found in fruits and vegetables are. This diet certainly reduces risk of heart disease as well. The booklet on the prostate gland discusses enlargement and cancer. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Roach -- No. 1001, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: About four years ago I bought a vibration machine. I’m a 64-year-old

female with major back issues, but I can exercise on the vibration machine with no problems. In fact, when I went in for my last bone density check, my bone density had increased over 14 percent! My doctor said it was unbelievable. I understand that many retirement homes may have this machine. My ultimate wish would be that hotels would all put one in their exercise room! Ten minutes on the machine equals 4 miles of jogging! -- L.J. ANSWER: Vibration machines have been around for years, but the data supporting them is patchy. Some studies have found that they do not improve osteoporosis; others show a slight improvement. Many studies have shown an improvement in low back pain and in strength. The machines are generally safe, but they can cause injuries, especially in the elderly. Although vibration machines can improve fitness, I don’t believe that 10 minutes on an exercise machine gives you all the benefits of 4 miles of jogging. Bone density levels show a lot of variation, so a single large increase doesn’t always mean a sustained gain. I think it’s too early to recommend vibration therapy as a standard treatment for osteoporosis. It may have a role for people who are unable to do

Vol. X Issue 41

other kinds of exercises. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a white patch called vitiligo. My doctor is giving me Protopic, but I do not see much improvement. Can you advise me? I am afraid of this advancing. -- G.L. ANSWER: Vitiligo is a loss of color in the skin. It can affect people of any skin color, and likely is due to the body’s destroying its own cells -in this case, the cells that make the pigment for the skin. Vitiligo often progresses slowly. Tacrolimus (Protopic) is effective in about 90 percent of people treated for two months, according to one study. Steroid creams and ultraviolet light also are used. It may be worthwhile to look for other autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Johnson Brothers have made ironstone in Staffordshire, England, since 1883. Their “Snow White Regency” pattern was made in the late 1900s. There are several variations of the pattern in addition to the solid white. Some sets were decorated with gold trim or silver flowers and leaves. Ironstone was patented in Britain by Charles James Mason. It was strong and durable and a good substitute for the more expensive and delicate porcelain. White Ironstone or white granite was imported to the United States. In the mid 1800s, United States potteries began producing ironstone. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration established guidelines for maximum concentrations of lead in dinnerware in 1971. There is much less lead used in current din-

APPLES (from page page 3) studies indicate that the apple’s antioxidants contribute to a 15% reduced likelihood of developing cataracts. • Pregnant women who regularly consume apples are less likely to have children with asthma. Apple eaters have better lung function. • Apples can even aid in preventing tooth decay by stimulating the production of saliva, which lowers the levels of the mouth’s bacteria. And they’re low in calories – about 95 in one medium-sized apple. With all these health benefits, why wouldn’t we all want to have an apple a day? • Apples also have their place in folklore. Legend has it that if you can peel an apple in one long strip, then toss it backwards over your left shoulder, the shape made by the peel will be the initial of your future spouse. • An old wives’ tale says that warts can be cured by cutting an apple into the number of pieces equal to the number of warts. Rub each apple piece on a wart, then bury the pieces. As the fruit rots in the ground, the warts are said to disappear.
