TIDBITSreg INVITES YOU TO

ENJOY SOME MELONSby Patricia L Cook

Whether your favorite melon is watermelon cantaloupe honeydew or an exotic variety this is the season for enjoying melons in the northern hemisphere This Tidbits explores melon facts figures and entertaining triviabull All melons belong to the gourd family Cucurbitaceae which is the family that includes cucumbers squash and pumpkins Because they grow on long trailing vines melons require lots of garden space Generally given adequate room melons are easy and fun to grow bull Along with the long vines are leaves that provide shade during the day protecting the developing fruit from the hot sun Melons need hot sun and a long growing season to grow to maturity Also melon blossoms need bees for pollination bull Melons are divided into two groups with watermelons in a class by themselves The other group is muskmelons Watermelon seeds are spread throughout the middle of the melons (even ldquoseedlessrdquo have some) muskmelon seeds are concentrated in a middle cavity surrounded by sweet pulp bull If cantaloupe is your favorite and you are wondering where they fit they are muskmelons North America (NA) Cantaloupes are not true cantaloupesbull True ldquocantaloupesrdquo originated in Cantalupo Italy They are hard-shelled melons with wart-like growths on their hard green skin True cantaloupes are not grown much outside of Mediterranean countries Turn the page for more

ENJOY SOME MELONS (Continued)bull NA cantaloupes are actually muskmelons While all cantaloupes are muskmelons not all muskmelons are cantaloupes Some other muskmelons are Honeydew Casaba Crenshaw and Persian types like Bender Montreal and Banana While you may not be familiar with all of these many of the less traditional types of melons are now being cultivated in North America Be adventurous and try some new melons found at your grocery store or farmerrsquos marketsbull The leading states for producing NA cantaloupes are California Arizona Texas Georgia and Indiana The world leader today for watermelon production is China The United States is number fourbull The leading states for producing honeydew melons are California Arizona and Texas The honeydew is one of the few melons that will continue to ripen after picking Another name sometimes used for honeydew melons is ldquotemptation melonsrdquo bull This is probably not surprising news but more than two-thirds of all melons grown in the United States are grown in California Florida and Georgia are the top states for watermelon production Many of our melons are imported usually from Mexico and Chile The United States imports more melons than any other country bull Most historians believe that watermelons originated in the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa Melons seeds in ancient tombs indicate that melons were in Egypt about 4000 years ago bull Some botanists believe that watermelons are not actually melons but should be considered cucumbers One of the reasons they say this is because muskmelons easily cross-pollinate with one another forming new hybrids but watermelons will not cross-pollinate with other melonsbull Watermelons are 92 percent water hence the very appropriate name and the reason it is advisable to buy heavy melons They contain approximately 6 percent sugar and are rich sources of vitamins A and C Even though most people only eat the red (or yellow or other special colors) part of the watermelon every part is edible bull Watermelon is used more like a vegetable in Asian countries In Chinese cuisine watermelon rind is often stir-fried stewed and pickled The seeds are often baked for a snack The Chinese eat more watermelon than any other peoplebull The Japanese have produced cube-shaped melons by growing them in glass molds The melons cost much more than regular melons but fit in refrigerators more easily Pyramid shaped melons are also occasionally seen Since these donrsquot really fit better in a refrigerator other than the fact that they wonrsquot roll the reason for these is probably just the noveltybull There are more than 500 varieties of watermelon worldwide but only a few are grown commercially Some of the common varieties sold in large numbers are Jubilee Desert King Sugar Baby Peacock and Huck Finn bull Melons probably muskmelons since they were available in Egypt many centuries ago are mentioned in the Bible The Hebrews who wandered in the desert eating ldquomannardquo missed their melons (Numbers 115) bull There are many melon festivals held celebrating local produce One festival is the Milan Melon Festival in Milan Ohio held every Labor Day Weekend This yearrsquos festivities the 53rd annual event will be September 1-3 There are usually over 50000 fun-loving people gathered to eat watermelon muskmelon and more Festival specialties are watermelon sherbet and muskmelon ice cream

HeLPING CANAdIANs BeCoMe deBT Freeby Peter Temple Financial Consultant

Today many Canadians are in debt due to global and local economies and are looking for a way to show restitution with their creditors Not only does debt adversely affect creditworthiness more importantly it can also severely impact peoples` health and personal relationships and should therefore be addressed as soon as possible

4 Pillars Consulting Group is a dynamic independent firm of consultants who specialize in eliminating debt through financial restructuring and assisting those who are experiencing financial crisis and want to avoid bank-ruptcy

Since 2002 4 Pillars Consulting Group has supervised the successful restructuring of millions of dollars of debt held by thousands of consumer debtors across Canada with settlements averaging 25 of original debts owed They act on behalf of the debtor not the creditor and are one of the only companies in the industry with this approach to debt elimination and financial restructuring resulting in services that put debtors back on track for the future They have the highest rate of success for restructuring clients in the industry (less than 5) and their success is based on the fact that they incorporate financial literacy into their consulting practices

Many people who go bankrupt do not need to but they take this route because they are not aware of their options or because they were pressured into spontaneous ac-tion by their creditors or over-zealous collection agents Ignorance and fear are the worst enemy of people in debt so 4 Pillars educates their clients as to the different ways to address their financial predicament and then executes a personal debt action plan as soon as possible 4 Pillars pays equal attention to the long term financial health of its clients and assists with credit building budgeting and setting financial goals for the future

People do not need to lose everything they have worked for in order to get out of debt Given the correct advice from a professional who has their long term interests at heart they can often make a speedy recovery while pro-tecting many of their hard earned assets and then move forward with new goals for the future

Pet BitsTHe rIGHT WAY To reMoVe TICKs

DEAR PAWrsquoS CORNER I wanted to pass on to your readers something I found that works very well for removing ticks Icy-Hot My little dog got a tick right in our own yard I tried using a match but I was so nervous that I might burn her My sister told me to use Icy-Hot Irsquom so relieved it did the trick -- Diane O Palmyra NY

DEAR DIANE Interesting tip One way that we used to remove ticks from our dogs many years ago was by smearing a dollop of Vaseline over the embedded tick covering it completely Eventually the tick would suffocate or try to escape

In recent years however veterinarians and disease-control experts have recommended against using Vaseline because it can take up to 48 hours for the tick to suffocate Ticks need to be removed quickly -- within 24 hours or less Why Because after a day of feeding the tick is completely engorged with blood To keep feeding it regurgitates that blood right back into your pet -- and if the tick is carrying a disease like Lyme your pet is likely to be infected

Ditto with the old-fashioned match trick When a lighted match is held to the tick the tick often pulls out quickly -- but it tends to regurgitate as it does so

So whatrsquos the best way to remove ticks Experts recommend tweezers grabbing as close to the tickrsquos head as possible Slowly pull the head out without twisting or jerking -- being careful not to squish the tick for the reasons listed above If the tickrsquos head or part of its head breaks off in the skin monitor your pet for a few days It should be worked out by your petrsquos own body but if signs of infection appear contact your veterinarian
