TIDBITS® MAKES MUSIC ON SOME

UNUSUAL INSTRUMENTS by Kathy WolfeThere are lots of ways to make beautiful mu-sic on instruments other than the familiar ones. This week, Tidbits looks at some of the world’s more unusual instruments along with a few well-known ones.• Atlantic City, New Jersey, is home to the world’s largest pipe organ, with seven manuals, or key-boards, and 33,112 pipes. Credited as the largest musical instrument ever constructed, it was built between 1929 and 1932 by Long Island, New York’s Midmer-Losh Organ Company at a cost of $350,000, and weighs about 150 tons. It’s in the midst of a 10-year, $16 million restoration project. If you want to take a tour of the organ at that city’s Boardwalk Hall, you will need to notch out 4 ½ hours. • Another interesting organ is located deep in the Luray Caverns of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Its inventor Leland Sprinkle was a sci-entist and mathematician at the Pentagon who discovered that the cave’s stalactites produced deep resonating notes when struck. Over the course of three years in the early 1950s, Sprin-kle tuned stalactites across 3 ½ acres to specific pitches using sandpaper. Rubber-tipped mallets were then wired to keys on the Great Stalacpipe Organ’s keyboard, so that they would strike the stalactites whenever the corresponding key was played. turn the page for more!

What is Tidbits?

INSTRUMENTS (continued):• The Fluegelhorn has its origins in the early 18th century, when it was a large semicircular hunting horn, essentially a bugle without valves, played by the “Fluegelmeister.” The modern in-strument looks much like a trumpet, but with a much wider bell. It has a richer, mellower, darker sound than the trumpet, about halfway between the tones of a trumpet and a French horn. • Benjamin Franklin invented an instrument called the hydrocrystalophone, which in simpler terms is known as the glass armonica. His ar-monica consisted of a series of glass bowls of graduated size floating in a tray of water. The varying sizes produced different musical tones based on the size of the bowl. • A thin flat wooden frame with up to 50 strings stretched across its body is known as a zither. Five of the strings are used to play the melody with the remainder used for the harmony. The performer can pluck the strings with either his fingers or a special tool called a plectrum. The zither is common in Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and southern Germany. An early form of the zither was found in the tomb of Chinese royalty dating back to 433 B.C. • The indigenous Australians of northern Aus-tralia developed the didgeridoo about 1,500 years ago, and it’s still in use today. The wooden cylinder measures anywhere from 3 to 10 ft. (1 to 3 m) in length. The longer the didgeridoo, the lower the pitch. Aboriginal craftsmen look for hollow live eucalyptus trees, usually ones that have been invaded by termites that have attacked only the heart of the tree. The tree is cleaned out and the bark removed, then shaped into an instrument, with a rim of beeswax added to the mouthpiece end. A British medical study indicates that playing the didgeridoo helps re-duce snoring and sleep apnea by strengthening muscles in the upper airway.

INSTRUMENTS (continued):• Oompah! Where would marching bands be without the sousaphone? Although many folks call it a tuba, this large 40-lb. (18.1 kg) brass in-strument that wraps around the player (who sup-ports most of the weight with his or her shoul-der) is more accurately called a sousaphone after its designer. John Philip Sousa, conductor of the United States Marine Band in the 1890s, and composer of “Stars and Stripes Forever,” was looking for an improvement to the era’s helicon, a narrower version of the sousaphone. Sousa came up with a design that was submitted to Philadelphia’s J.W. Pepper Company, a design with the bell pointed upward. By the 1920s, the design had been changed to the bell pointing out-ward for better sound projection. In more recent years, the instruments have been manufactured from fiberglass to lighten the load. • The hurdy-gurdy has been around since about the 12th century when it was known as the or-ganistrum or symphonia. It’s a three-stringed instrument with a wheel or circular bow that is turned by a crank. The strings are attached to keys and when the wheel rubs against the strings, it produces a sound similar to that of a violin. The large organistrum has a guitar-shaped body and long neck where the keys are set. The name hurdy-gurdy is often confused with the barrel or-gan or street piano played by street musicians. That instrument consists of barrels onto which perforated paper rolls are attached. Only a turn-ing of the crank is required to play the barrel or-gan, with no musical skills required. It’s the in-strument seen in illustrations of an organ grinder and his performing monkey.

INSTRUMENTS (continued):• One of the world’s oldest musical instruments, the harp, was developed from a hunting bow. Pictographs of harps have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to 3000 B.C. The modern harp has a long hollow side called the column or pillar, in which are situated the rods that control the instrument’s seven pedals. The pedals allow for changing notes and switching keys. Because there are no “black keys” to help the harpist locate notes on the nearly 50 strings, the “C” strings are colored red and “F” strings are black. The harp’s strings are made of nylon, gut, wire, or silk.• The Jew’s harp isn’t a harp and it isn’t Jew-ish! Its proper name is “plucked idiophone,” and its small lyre-shaped metal frame is played by positioning it on the performer’s teeth. A bent metal tongue inside the frame is plucked by the player’s finger. Ancient frames dating back to the year 1400 have been found in Germany. One of Beethoven’s music teachers, Austrian composer and organist Johann Alberchtsberger, composed several concerti for the Jew’s Harp around 1765. • Since 1998, folks across Europe and Asia have been listening to the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, a group of 11 musicians who play instruments carved from fresh vegetables. They make their instruments one hour before each performance from the freshest vegetables possible, and play music on cuke-o-phones, radish marimbas, car-rot flutes, bell pepper trumpets, pumpkin basses, violins carved from leeks, and percussion instru-ments fashioned from eggplant. It takes about 90 lbs. (40.8 kg) of fresh veggies to create the orchestra, and following the performance, the group’s cook throws all of the instruments into a kettle of soup.

It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the fol-lowing sage observation: “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

If you head up to the top floor of the U.S. Su-preme Court building, you’ll find a basketball court. It’s known, of course, as “the highest court in the land.”

During the filming of the classic film “The Wiz-ard of Oz,” the dog that played Toto was paid $125 per week. In contrast, the actors who played the munchkins were paid $100 per week -- and their manager, Leo Singer, kept half of that.

Those who study such things say that goats have accents.

In Germany in the 1500s, a court physician by the name of Oswaldt Gabelthouer wrote a medi-cal book full of remedies that he guaranteed would be effective. For insanity, the patient must cut his or her hair close to the head, then tie two halves of a ram’s liver to the head. A severe case of epilepsy, he claimed, could be cured if the pa-tient wore the right eye of a wolf and the left eye of a she-wolf on a thong about the neck for three months; also, the patient had to forgo bath-ing during that time. There’s no mention in the record at hand of how a patient would go about redeeming the guarantee.

If you’re suffering from xanthodontia, don’t worry; a dentist can help whiten those yellow teeth.

Thought for the Day: “The power of accurate observation is frequent-ly called cynicism by those who don’t have it.”

WHEN YOUR HEAD HURTSHeadaches and migraines are so pervasive in society today that many people refer to headaches as a “normal headache”. There is no such thing as a “normal headache”. No headache is normal. All headaches are red flags signaling that something is wrong. To ignore it or to take a medication for it is like putting a piece of duct tape over the warning indicator light in your car. True, you can no longer see the light/feel the headache, but the problem is still there. Without correction, things can get worse.Obviously, if you have a headache that is so consuming that you can’t function, use your medica-tions, but don’t stop there. So much can be done to identify the causative factors underlying the head-ache. After identifying it, there are many options to eliminating them, not just covering them up.One major cause of headaches is stress. Stress is part of the “fight or flight” mechanism. Many chemical changes occur during this response causing changes in the blood vessels that can cause headaches. Some people experience them as adrenaline skyrockets in a sudden stressful event. In ad-dition to migraines, stress can cause chronic “tension” headaches that can interfere with the ability to concentrate, remember important details or simply cause fatigue.Environmental factors can have an impact on head pain. Bright lights, flickering of fluorescent lights, televisions or computer monitors can trigger a headache. Noxious fumes such as turpentine, benzene, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide and even many perfumes can trigger a migraine. Extremes of any sense – sound, light, smells, etc can trigger a headache.Headaches can be triggered by exertion such as straining, lifting or even bending. Weather changes are common triggers especially when there is a barometric change due to a weather front.Those who suffer from headaches and migraines are familiar with most of the triggers. What is more important is to differentiate between causes and triggers. Most causes fall into 3 general categories:Nutrition. Poor diet (junk food, processed foods, chemicalized foods) and diets low in quality nutri-ents underlie most of the causes of headaches and migraines. Vitamin, mineral and protein deficien-cies predominate.Toxicity. There are a multitude of environmental factors that can add up and stress the system, lead-ing to a myriad of health conditions, and headaches are no exception. Structural changes: Tight muscles, inflammation, swelling, spinal misalignment and pinched nerves all can contribute to headaches and migraines.Just as there are many things that can trigger a migraine or headache, there are many effective, natu-ral remedies that can reach deep into the causative factors. I’ve been successfully helping people eliminate their headaches and migraines for over 35 years. Helping people with headaches and mi-graines is so satisfying because I’m able to make such a significant difference in their lives.

Q: HELP! My kids were horsing around and knocked my coffee over on to the pas-senger seat. Now my for-merly beautiful light brown leather upholstery has a huge discolored area. After inflict-ing bodily harm (just kid-ding) I used what I could find in the car to wipe up the cof-fee. Probably not the smartest

thing to do. Is there any way to remove the stain or do I have to skin the kids and use their hide? A: Don’t kill the kids - I can fix the problem. Real leather needs spe-cial treatment and you are probably looking at a re-dye to completely resolve the problem. Your auto manufacturer keeps on record the dye used originally. I can remove the seat and actually dye it back to the factory color. I would recommend you do this sooner rather than later as the condition will only worsen with time. You have a big invest-ment in your auto and it pays to protect that investment.

Q- Should people trust their own intuition? A- Only if that person has been known to consistently predict things that come true. Or a person who can know things out of the ordinary that can be validated.

Q- Can people learn to be more intuitive? A- Yes, one of the first steps is to educate yourself in the ways intuition can come thru in a positive way such as: empathetically, precognitive, clairaudient, clairvoyantly, and other ways to communicate intuition for everyday guidensess.

Omega 3!We’ve been told for a while now that fat is bad... and that is just not true. We are made of fat; our nerves, our brain, our cell membrane. Yes, each membrane that holds together every cell that makes up your entire structure is held together by.... FAT! Now this revela-tion should not cause you to go eat more fast food, because quality of fat is the most important factor when consuming fats.So, what are good fats? Well, quality saturated fats are good for your health (and delicious). Fats such as virgin coconut oil and grass-fed butter are wonderful saturated fats. Organic, extra-vir-gin olive oil and avocado oil are great monounsaturated fats.What about the Omegas? These are polyunsaturated fats that have

a hugely beneficial health impact.Documented benefits of Omega 3 includes:Increased dopamine (mood), neuronal growth (more brains!) and improve blood flow in the brainImproves triglyceridesHelp take in vitamin D from the sunReduce inflammationReduce risk of heart attack and strokeAnd the list goes on....But what we don’t realize is that there are two omegas -omega 6 and omega 3- and we need these to be balanced in our body.. We should consume a 1:1 ratio, yet the typical American diet is more 20:1 or as high as 50:1... This causes inflam-mation, which is the square root of all disease. So what can we do about it? Take omegas, and take at least 4,000 mg daily.At Healthy Living we have 3 different kinds of Omegas, to provide you with a balanced omega 3, omega 6 ratio.Omega 3*6*9 by Biogenesis NeutraceuticalsOmega 3 and D3 by Complementary PrescriptionsOptimum Omega by Pharmanex

Asthma and Food allergies are more common among people with asthma and may contribute to asthma attacks. Often, the food allergies can trigger severe asthma exacerbations.

A study funded by the National institute of Environmental Health Sciences analyzed four specific foods: pea-nuts, milk, eggs and shrimp.

They found that pa-tients with asthma were twice as likely to

have food allergies as compared to those that do not have this disease. The odds of having food allergies grew with increasing severity of asth-ma. And if a person had visited an ER because of asthma, they were 7 times more likely to have food allergies.

Overall, the researchers estimate that 2.5% or 7.5 million Americans have food allergies.

Children ages 1-19 were twice as likely to have food allergies as the general population, and males twice as likely compared to females.

Peanut allergy was the most common food al-lergy, and highest among children ages 6-19.In my practice, I see many patients with food allergies, and, even more commonly, food sen-sitivities.

Often patients with asthma and eczema will greatly improve with simply eliminating gluten and/or dairy. A food allergy and sensitivity pan-el can be drawn with a simple blood test.

Other natural remedies for asthma include fish oil and vitamin D.

Both of these have been shown to decrease the inflammation in the lungs and reduce the need for an inhaler.

The vitamin D also improves immune function. Probiotics are also important for immune func-tion and will help decrease inflammation thruout the body, including the lungs.

The more antibiotics your child has been on be-fore age 2, the greater their risk of developing asthma. And the more Tylenol they have, the greater their risk.

“The best way to get a bloodstain out of clothing is by dousing the stain with hydrogen peroxide and washing as usual. For clay stains, you ab-solutely must have a Fels-Naptha bar. It looks like a bar of soap, and you wet the material and rub in the soap. It’s magical. This, coming from a softball mom whose daughter loves to slide.” -- A.A. in Florida

Add these to the list of items to eliminate the odor of cooking cabbage: a heel of bread, a whole walnut or a pinch of baking soda.

It’s easy to make your own spreadable butter. Simply whip 1 pound of softened butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Slowly add 1 cup of olive oil. Beat up to 5 minutes to add air and increase vol-ume. Pour into two 1-pint containers and refrig-erate. It’s economical, spreads like soft marga-rine, tastes great and you get the benefits of olive oil in a natural product.

“Before I go to the beach, I freeze an ice-cube tray full of lemonade. Then, we use the cubes in our travel cups. It keeps the lemonade cool, and as it melts (which tends to be quickly), it doesn’t water down the drink.” -- K.H. in South Carolina

“To save money on electricity costs, hang jeans and other heavy clothing to dry first. White or light towels and garments especially love the sun. When they’re mostly dry, pop in the dryer to fluff.

“Always be on the lookout for sale items that can be given as gifts. You also can check the sale rack for children’s clothes. Sometimes, I buy up to a year in advance for my child, since the deals can be so good. Just be sure that the clothing is for the season when your child will be able to wear it.” -- Matt in New Mexico.

Why Does Cat Keep Hiding in Closet?DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I cannot keep my cat "Jess" out of the closet! Even though I keep the sliding doors closed, as soon as I open them to get something, she jumps right in and hides in the very back corner. How can I stop this? -- Frustrated in Fresno

DEAR FRUSTRATED: There must be some-thing awesome about that closet. Wait, I know: It's a dark, cozy hiding spot ... something most cats love. There may be something attractive on the floor of the closet, like strings dangling from a bag of knitting or small lint balls.Or, your cat could be hiding from a perceived threat. Do you have a dog or another cat? Jess could be looking for a place where she isn't bul-lied or barked at. Is Jess spayed? If not, has she spent time outside or been in contact with other cats? Pregnant cats begin hunting for a dark, safe spot as the time to have their kittens approaches. If you're not sure, take Jess to the vet to get her checked out.Is she showing signs of possible illness -- like personality changes, lethargy, excessive meow-ing, not cleaning her coat or other strange be-havior? Cats that are sick will instinctively try to hide to avoid predators. Take her to the vet if anything seems amiss, even a little bit.If none of these apply and Jess' health checks out, employ some redirection. Sprinkle a little peppermint oil on the floor of the closet, or put down some duct tape -- the tape feels weird to cats, and they'll avoid it. Meantime, provide an acceptable alternative hiding spot, like an ele-vated cat climber with a shelter cubby. And keep Jess out of the room if possible before opening the closet door.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:LORNE GREENE For years we knew him as Pa Cartwright, the pa-triarch of the Ponderosa Ranch on television’s Bonanza. But there was more to this famous Canadian than running a fictional ranch. Take a look at the life of this noted actor. • Born Lyon Himan Green (without the “e”) to Russian Jewish immigrant parents in Ottawa, Ontario, he became interested in acting while a chemical engineering student at Queen’s Uni-versity in Kingston. After graduation, he walked away from a career in engineering, finding a job as a radio broadcaster with the Canadian Broad-casting Corporation. With his rich, deep voice, before long he became known as “The Voice of Canada.” • After a stint as a flying officer in the Royal Ca-nadian Air Force during World War II, Greene returned to Canada to pursue an acting career. His authoritative bass voice lent itself well to the narration of documentary films. • His role in 1957’s Peyton Place led to a guest spot on television’s Wagon Train, which led to his most well-known role, that of Ben Cartwright on the western Bonanza in 1959. Green modeled his character after his own father, a shoemaker. For the next 14 years, Greene played Cartwright on a series that became the second-longest run-ning western series (after Gunsmoke). Within two years, Bonanza was the Number One show on TV, and in the mid-1960s, Greene was mak-ing $11,000 a week. • In a TV Guide survey of the “50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time,” Ben Cartwright was ranked as #2 behind Bill Cosby.

Getting Quicker Appoint-mentsSince the appointment scheduling/delayed care debacle hit the news, “steps” are being taken to fix the problems. If you need care, there are a few options.

Accelerating Care Initiative -- Clinics will ex-pand to include night and weekend hours, with providers getting overtime. If you’re a new pa-tient waiting on an appointment that’s more than 30 days out (and if they can fit you in), the De-partment of Veterans Affairs will make three at-tempts to contact you to see if you want to go in earlier.If yes, the process will start to get you into not-VA medical care. Facilities will take a look at canceled appointments on a daily basis and not let them sit unused (it’s astonishing that they have to be told) and make calls to find veterans to take the appointments. If you call the VA for an appointment, get the name of the person you talk to, and make a note of the date and time.

Non-VA Care -- This program was designed to get you treatment when there’s a lack of a need-ed specialist in your local VA hospital, the travel distance is great or there are “long wait times.” That’s a quote from the VA site, and that little phrase is key. If you’re given an appointment that’s not soon enough, ask for a referral to ci-vilian medical care. You might have to fight for it. See www.nonvacare.va.gov.

Access Received Closer to Home -- Also called ARCH, this pilot program matches eligible ru-ral veterans with health care in their area. Five spots were originally opened: northern Maine; Farmville, Va.; Pratt, Kan.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Billings, Mon. Now with the scrutiny about the scheduling snafus, it’s possible more sites will be opened. Call your Care Coordinator to ask about care closer to home. You also can send email to [email protected].

Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Send email to [email protected].(c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.


LORNE GREENE (continued):• During his Bonanza years, Greene also served as the co-host of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC from 1963 to 1972, beside Bet-ty White. He also released several albums of country western and folk songs, achieving a #1 single on the music charts with his recording of “Ringo,” a spoken-word ballad about the Old West outlaw Johnny Ringo. • In 1973, after a 430-episode run, Bonan-za was cancelled. Greene’s next role was that of a private detective in the crime drama Griff, but it was cancelled due to poor ratings after only 13 episodes. However, there was no lack of work for Greene. He immediately began hosting a nature series entitled Last of the Wild, as well as beginning a years-long job as spokesman for Alpo dog food. He also had a major role in the classic miniseries Roots as the master of slave Kunta Kinte. • In 1978, Lorne Green took on the role of Cap-tain Adama in the popular sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica and its follow-up Galactica 1980. Fol-lowing its cancellation, Greene turned back to nature, hosting a Canadian television documen-tary series Lorne Greene’s New Wilderness.• In 1987, a made-for-TV movie with a Bonan-za reunion was planned, and Greene signed on to reprise his role of Ben Cartwright. Unfortu-nately, he passed away before the filming began from pneumonia that developed following ul-cer surgery. The movie was still produced, with Greene’s daughter playing the role of the love interest of Little Joe Cartwright’s son. • Green left behind a tribute to his Canadian roots by his founding of Toronto’s Academy of Radio Arts, originally called the Lorne Greene School of Broadcasting.

Staging Your Home for Faster SaleIf you're ready to sell your home, you have lots of competition. Staging can go a long way to-ward making your home stand out, resulting in a faster sale at the price you want.Before you put your home on the market, ask your real-estate agent for suggestions. Your agent can advise you about local trends and pref-erences -- and your competition. Incorporate as many of the agent's suggestions as you can.Give serious consideration to hiring a profession-al stager, despite the cost. According to a study by the Real Estate Staging Association, homes that were staged before being put up for sale spent 87 percent less time on the market. Unstaged homes stayed on the market an average 166 days. After staging, those homes received offers within an average 32 days. Homes that were staged before being marketed received their first offer within 26 days. Quicker sales were true across all price ranges.Even if you can't hire a professional stager, there are still quite a few things you can do yourself. Here are some suggestions from HGTV.com:Declutter. Professional stagers will often re-move as much as half of the furniture in a home to make it look bigger. Pay special attention to crammed closets. If you have a junk room, give it a role as a spe-cific space, such as a reading nook or yoga area. Add lighting. You want 100 watts for each 50 square feet, using a variety of types of lighting.¥ Paint adjacent rooms, such as dining and living rooms, the same neutral color to add more visual space.Other staging websites suggest:Take down anything personal on the walls, such as family photos and religious items.Don't make potential purchasers wonder how much it will cost to change all your personalized wall colors or carpet.Make the outside inviting. Mow, edge, sweep, rake and add mulch to make it more likely a po-tential purchaser will want to see inside.To find a professional stager, start with www.re-alestatestagingassociation.com. To do your own staging, search online for ideas at HGTV's Front Door (www.frontdoor.com) and HGTV (hgtv.com), as well as Bankrate.com and Realtor.com. Visit new model homes to see how they're done.Your payoff for staging your home? A faster sale means not making those extra mortgage pay-ments while your house languishes unsold.David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader ques-tions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

Safe Edging Using a String TrimmerQ: I don’t have a lot of experience with yard work, but I’m trying to save money by doing much of it myself. I’ve figured out lawn mow-ing, but how can I get the edges trimmed? I don’t want to buy an expensive edger. -- Sarah in Mobile, Ala.A: A string trimmer (also known as a Weed Whacker, Weed Eater or weed trimmer) doubles as a good edger, and is really affordable: You can purchase an electric trimmer for as little as $40. For a little more (about $100 on average) you can get a cordless electric trimmer, which eliminates the hassle of dragging around exten-sion cords and the worries about accidentally striking one.To use the trimmer on lawn edges, angle it slightly downward toward the edge you’re tar-geting, engage the motor by pressing the control trigger, and ease the whirring string toward the grass until just the tip of the string touches it. Move it along the edge of the grass, trimming it to the same height as the rest of the freshly mowed lawn. A few safety notes here: ¥ Always wear long trousers and sturdy, close-toed shoes when doing any lawn work, particu-larly with power tools and mowers. ¥ Wear eye protection when using a string trim-mer, and maybe gloves, because it’s painful and dismaying to be hit with debris when using this tool. ¥ Learn to angle the trimmer so that grass and dirt fly away from you. The trimmer guard helps, but doesn’t provide full protection. ¥ Tell bystanders to move away, or stop trim-ming when neighbors walk past, starting again when they are clear.¥ If you’re using a corded electric trimmer, al-ways be aware of where the cord is, so you don’t accidentally hit it. ¥ Avoid hitting concrete or brick when using the trimmer. The harder surface quickly destroys the trimming line, meaning you’ll have to replace it sooner.¥ Be careful when trimming around shrubs and trees, as the whirring line can damage the bark.Knowing how to maintain your string trim-mer also can save money. Over time, the cut-ting string will run out -- as it’s intended to do. Purchase replacement line as needed, make sure the trimmer is unplugged and remove the spool from the trimmer’s cutting head by turning the trimmer over, removing the fitted cap from the cutting head and lifting out the spool. Remove the remaining cutting line and discard. Thread the new line into the thread hole or guide notch, and wind it around the spool in the direction of the arrow printed on top of the spool. You can get more details online. HOME TIP: To prevent “scalping” a lawn edge, trim facing outward, toward the pavement (without hitting it), rather than inward toward the lawn.Send your questions or home tips to [email protected].

CHOCOLATE-Y FACTS In honor of Chocolate Day on July 7, Tidbits checks out the facts on this favorite confection. • A small evergreen tree ranging in height from 15 to 26 feet (4 to 8 m) is the source of cacao beans. The Theobroma cacao, native to Cen-tral and South America, produces seeds directly on its trunk rather than on branches. Each seed pod is about the size of a pineapple and holds between 30 and 50 seeds that have a very bit-ter taste until they undergo a seven-day fermen-tation process, which develops the flavor. In the ancient Mayan civilization, cacao beans were so valuable, they were used as currency. They were commonly counterfeited, with fakes fashioned out of painted clay. • Christopher Columbus brought cacao beans back from what is now Honduras, presenting them to the Spanish king and queen who had fi-nanced his journeys. The beans’ value was over-looked for years until fellow explorer Hernando Cortez also brought back a stash of the precious cargo. • Milton Hershey was already a candy manufac-turer specializing in caramels when, in 1894, he decided to start producing sweet chocolate as a coating for the caramels. Soon Hershey was pro-ducing milk chocolate in 114 different bars and other shapes. He chose a location in south-central Pennsylvania for his operation, which has grown into the largest chocolate manufacturer in North America.

CHOCOLATE (continued):• The U.S. chocolate industry uses about 3.5 mil-lion pounds of whole milk every day to produce milk chocolate. They also use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts. About 400 cacao beans are needed to make one pound (450 g) of chocolate. • Research indicates that dark chocolate has many health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease by one-third. Its antioxidants seem to reduce blood pressure, widen arteries, and promote healthy blood flow. Some experts claim that it boosts memory, attention span, and prob-lem-solving skills. Dark chocolate’s flavonoids, a type of plant chemical, have anti-inflammatory properties and cell-protecting effects. It doesn’t take much to reap the benefits – a 1.4 oz. (40 g) serving contains 536 mg of flavonoids, with re-search indicating that just 80 mg can produce a drop in blood pressure. But it’s only dark choco-late that has been shown to be beneficial, while milk chocolate, white chocolate, and other vari-eties are not.• Per capita, folks in Switzerland eat the most chocolate, about 22 lbs. (10 kg) per person per year. Australians consume 20 lbs. (9 kg) each annually, and the Irish eat 19 lbs. (8.6 kg) per person. Even though the United States produc-es the most chocolate worldwide, the average American consumes just 12 lbs. (5.4 kg) a year. Some eat more than others – those who feel de-pressed seem to eat about 55% more than those who aren’t depressed.• According to the Guinness Book of World Re-cords, folks in Derbyshire, United Kingdom are responsible for producing the world’s largest chocolate bar in October, 2011. 13 ft. square (4 m), was nearly 2 feet thick (0.35 m), and weighed more than 12,770 lbs. (5,792 kg).

Why Join AARP?At some point in our lives, we will get an invita-tion to join AARP, the organization for seniors. This likely will coincide with our 50th birthday, a point many of us don’t want to acknowledge. The AARP mail is ignored, maybe for a week, maybe for 10 years. But at some point we con-cede: We are seniors. And we need AARP.I’ve been taking a closer look at AARP recently, and have concluded that it’s worth joining. Here are a few of the benefits of membership:-- Need help with estate planning, starting a business or your taxes? It’s there, as close as your computer. Want good information on local political issues that affect seniors in your state. It’s there. AARP is in our corner, with one of the strongest lobby efforts in Washington, D.C. -- While AARP is nonprofit, there are two side branches that are for-profit. AARP Services pro-vides discounts on many of the things we need, such as travel, legal, entertainment and supple-mental health insurance. AARP Foundation pro-vides on-the-job training, education, legal help and much more.--The AARP Driver Safety program can be tak-en either online or in a class setting. The biggest value is that it teaches about the changes that come with age and how those can affect driv-ing.--The bi-monthly magazine is worth the price of the membership alone ($16 per year). What I ap-preciate most is that the articles are straightfor-ward, informative and not condescending. With membership you also can read them online.If you have access to a computer, look around the site at aarp.com. Check the member-benefits guide, even if you’re already a member, or ask for one by phone when you sign up: 1-888-687-2277. Be sure you’re not missing out on any-thing Ð especially your discounts!

COUCH THEATER -- DVD PREVIEWSBy Sam Struckhoff

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Le Week-End” (R) -- Is there anything a jaunt to Paris can’t fix? How about the mold on a resentful marriage that’s been growing for almost 30 years? Nick (Jim Broadbent) and Meg (Lindsay Duncan) are a sweet older English couple revisiting Paris, the site of their honeymoon years ago. They have quiet moments, tender moments, and a lot of bickering in some very nice restaurants.The film is not the cutest or most lighthearted look at long-term marriage, but you end up connecting to the folks on screen. Broadbent and Duncan have the chemistry that makes you believe there really is 30 years of emotional clutter between them. Jeff Goldblum steals the show as the comic relief with multiple dimensions.

“Bad Words” (R) -- An unrelenting jerk forces his way into a spelling bee circuit, inflicting his crudeness on innocent children and their families. Guy Trillby (Jason Bateman -- also the director) is unabashedly profane, sexist, racist, mean and also kind of funny. Thanks to a loophole, he’s entered in a spelling bee where he competes grade-school children while an oddball journalist (Katherine Hahn) looks on in wonder. A boy becomes fascinated by the miscreant, whose barbarism doesn’t bother him.This is Jason Bateman’s first time directing, and he’s given himself quite a role. Bateman has the whole nice-guy charm about him, but here he really embraces the Inner Jackass. If you can’t handle a character whose primary behavior is cursing in front of children, then you can skip this one.

“Maidentrip” (NR) -- At age 14, Laura Dekker set out to be the youngest person to sail around the world alone. She documented the trip with a handheld camera, which supplies much of the foot-age for this feature-length documentary about her trip and growing up at sea. The film largely fo-cuses on the trip itself, the growth that Laura went through, and the independence and introspection that it built. The documentary also spends some time with the struggles that started before she even shoved off -- the family issues that led her to take on such a trip, and how Dutch authorities were not keen to let a teenager go into the open ocean alone.

“The Raid 2” (R) -- In 2012, “The Raid: Redemption” delivered a flying elbow smash to the martial-arts genre. A Jakarta cop took on a high-rise building full of vicious goons in an all-out brawl for survival. This sequel follows our same hero (Iko Uwais, Indonesia’s rising star of beat’em ups) as he goes undercover with a brutal crime ring. The movie has more plot points than its predecessor, but doesn’t cut back on the expertly executed violence.(c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.


www.tidbitscda.comTIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #28 July 7th Dear Auntie M.,

Please send your questions or comments to [email protected]. I shall be

frank and honest with my response and pro-vide resources where appropriate.

Dear Auntie Mmm,I am a relatively young woman in age - 57, but I feel like I'm 100 years old. I am one of 7 children and as the youngest daugh-ter I became the caretaker for my parents. Mom was ill most of my life and as a teen took over the household and raised my two younger broth-ers. Mom passed a few years ago and I just lost dad the first of this year. I never went to college or worked outside of caring for them so I don't feel I'm equipped to do anything. When young I showed an interest in nursing and mom said that was perfect as I could care for her and dad, which I did till their deaths. I am still living in my parents home which is the only home I've ever known. My siblings are pushing me to find an apartment or somewhere else to live so the house can be sold. That will give me a little bit of money but I will have to work. I am so afraid of going out in the world at my age. I don't know how to even start and I feel like it is just too late for me and it feels so hard and I think why both-er cause nothing will work out for me anyway. My whole life was my parents and I just can't imagine living without them. I feel useless and unwanted. I feel like I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Do you have any ideas?Bereft in Bonners Ferry

Dear Bereft,Caring for your parents was admirable however being the doting daughter has deprived you, al-beit willingly, of a life of your own. Bereft is an apt description. It is disturbing that your parents didn't provide for you for all your years of hard work and devotion. Your siblings are either un-caring or unconscious of your sacrifice. Is there no one to help you stand up for yourself? Legal-ly you could file a claim on the estate for your years of service. Get legal advice on that. Also, seek out emotional support to help address the apathy and grief and to assist you in overcoming your feelings of helplessness. Change your per-ception of the past. See your years of service as a gift. You have a PhD in caretaking and home management, which are currently much in de-mand. Talk with a good agency about employ-ment possibilities. You may be surprised to find out just how valuable you are. The good news is that now ‘you’ can have a life, and please do everything you can to allow that to become a reality. Begin to dream, you deserve it.
