TIDBITS® TURNSEVERGREEN WITH ENVY

by Patricia L. Cook

At this time of year, Christmas trees, evergreen wreaths, garland and more are displayed all around us. This Tidbits examines some fascinating facts about evergreens. • Most people only think of conifers like pine, fir, cedar and spruce trees when they think of the term “evergreen.” This is not incorrect because most conifers qualify as evergreens, but many additional plants that are not conifers are evergreens as well. Evergreens have “foliage that persists and remains green throughout the year.”• The word “conifer” comes from the Latin words conus (cone) and ferre (to bear). The word co-nifer literally means “cone bearing.” While many conifers are evergreen, some are not. Larches and bald cypress trees are conifers that lose their needles every fall. • There are thousands of species of evergreen trees, shrubs and smaller plants. Just within the pine family there are 115 species. While pines and many other evergreens have needle-like foliage, some have leaves, fronds (ferns and palms) and other types of foliage.

PECAN PIE

Pecan trees are present in many countries but are native only to North America. Pecan pies are wonderful treats that were considered only a Southern (U.S.) holiday pie in years past. • Many nuts are only identified with one state, such as macadamia nuts from Hawaii, filberts from Oregon and almonds, pistachios and wal-nuts from California. Pecans are a multi-state crop with about 75 percent of all pecans grown in 20 states from the Southeast to the Southwest. The top four states for production are Georgia, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. • There are some conflicts about the origin of pecan pie. Many believe that the French came up with the pie in New Orleans after being intro-duced to pecans by Native Americans. Recipes for pecan pie have not been found dating before 1925.• According to the Karo Syrup website (karosy-rup.com), pecan pie had its beginnings with their syrup. The corn syrup, in dark or light, introduced in 1902, definitely helped to spread the popular-ity of pecan pie. The website says that around 1930: “The wife of corporate sales executive dis-covers a new use for corn syrup. A mixture of corn syrup, sugar, eggs, vanilla and pecans baked in a pie shell produces the now classic Pecan Pie destined to become a world-class favorite. Down South, today, that same recipe continues to be called Karo Pie.” • It doesn’t really matter who started making the delicious pies. Whether made with Karo Syrup or another brand, pecan pies are consumed and loved by many today. Just watch your waistline —They are loaded with calories!• There are many pecan festivals in the states where the native nut is grown. Most of them, nat-urally, have pecan pie contests. • Groves, Texas, home to around 2,500 large, old, but very productive pecan trees, hosts the “official” Texas Pecan Festival every fall. The designation by the state legislature gives the small southeast Texas town something to brag about.

Make It Easy on Your Survivors

Do you keep your service files orga-nized? Most of us don’t, unless pushed. But here’s something to consider: Can your family easily find what it needs to handle your affairs if something hap-pens to you?Here are a few documents your family will need to lay their hands on quickly:--Your DD214 or service equivalent. If you don’t have your discharge papers, send for them.--A list that includes Social security number, branch of service, dates of service, date and place of birth. Include all the places you were stationed, and dates.--Immunization record, birth certificate and will. (You do have one, right? And it’s updated, not one you wrote 20 years ago?) Add your government life-insur-ance policy, copy of all marriage certifi-cates and divorce decrees and copy of children’s birth certificates.Download online (or send away for) the following blank forms, to be kept in the file: Application for United States Flag for Burial Purposes; Claim for One Sum Payment Government Life Insurance; Claim for Monthly Payments National Service Life Insurance; Application for Standard Government Headstone or Marker.If you have an ongoing claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs, put all related documents in a separate file, newest at the top. Keep several sheets of blank paper in the file so you can note the date, time and whom you spoke with whenever you call the VA so the information is always current.Go online to www.vba.va.gov, click Veteran Services, then Survivors. Scroll down and look for any additional infor-mation that might apply to you. Send for the appropriate forms. Print out the VA Benefits for Survivors pamphlet and put it in the file, or call the VA (1-800-827-1000) and have one sent to you.You only need to do this once. When you’ve assembled and organized your information, you just need to keep it updated.

TRIVIA PAGE

- It was megalomaniacal French Emperor Na-poleon Bonaparte who made the following sage observation: “Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.”

- Orchids are lovely flowers, and many people dedicate years to growing them and finding rare specimens. If you’re like most people, though, you probably don’t realize that the word orchid comes from the Greek word “orchis,” which means “testicle.”

- Records show that the town of Helena, Mon-tana, had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world -- way back in 1888.

- In the early 1970s, a British plumber named John Hancock replaced an antique toilet in the home of John Lennon, then kept the old toilet for the rest of his life. In 2010, after Hancock’s death, his heirs put it up for auction. Even the auction house was surprised when the former Beatle’s throne fetched a whopping $14,740.

- When you’re in an unpopulated area and gaze up at the night sky, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the profusion of stars. But what’s truly over-whelming is this: All the stars that are visible from Earth represent only 0.000000000000001 percent of all the stars in the known universe.

- You may not be aware of this, but there is a new fad that is catching on among some groups across the country: tall biking. Hobbyists con-struct bicycles with normal-sized front and rear wheels, but with frames and seats that extend anywhere from 6 to 10 feet off the ground. Some riders actually use these bikes to joust, using lances made out of PVC pipe and foam rub-ber. It’s unclear, however, exactly how the riders mount their steeds.

You’ve Earned YourSenior Discount

The holiday season can be quiet for some of us. While it’s a great time to sit back and enjoy the books we received and some of the holiday shows on television, we also need to get out! It only takes a little plan-ning to join up with friends to enjoy some meals out. The bonus is that many restau-rants give a senior discount.Here’s a list of a few places you’ll find dis-counts, broken down by age. Most give a 10 percent discount or offer a free drink.For those age 55 and above:Chick-Fil-A, Dunkin Donuts, Jack in the Box (20 percent off), Arby’s, Dairy Queen, Popeye’s, Fuddruckers, Country Kitchen, Wendy’s, Denny’s (usually 10 percent off, but certain days and times it’s 20 percent), IHOP, Chili’s.For those age 60 and above:Sizzler, Bob’s Big Boy, Golden Corral, Applebees (15 percent discount), Roy Rog-ers, Burger King, Sonic, Friendly’s, Ben and Jerrys.Be sure to call in advance to make sure there aren’t any restrictions, such as days of the week or times of the day. Not all locations offer a discount. For those in the 55-plus category, call to be sure they haven’t increased the age to 60.Don’t forget AARP if you’re looking for a discount. The website (www.aarp.org) has a list that changes. Click Member Benefits, then Discounts.Many of us don’t want to ask for a discount in restaurants or anywhere else -- but we should! We’ve earned it! Here’s a chal-lenge for you for 2012: Ask for your senior discount everywhere you go, and keep track of how much you save through the year. You might be pleasantly surprised. Carry your AARP card at all times!

Gout vs. Pseudogout: What’s the Difference?

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have faux gout. At least that’s what I’ve been told I have. It’s in my left foot. I understand it’s not caused by uric acid but by calcium. Can you tell me more about it and what can be done for it? -- C.B.ANSWER: Faux (French for “false”) gout -- or pseudogout, as it is more commonly called -- is like gout in many respects, but the differences between the two are significant.In gout, uric acid crystals infiltrate joints and inflame them. In pseudogout, the crystals making their way into and around joints are calcium pyrophosphate dehy-drate, CPPD. Just as uric acid crystals do, CPPD crystals inflame the joint and cause great pain. That’s not true of every-one who has these crystals. Some never experience a minute of pain.The joints most affected in pseudogout are the knees and the wrists. Shoulders, ankles, elbows and hands also might be targets.Who told you that you have this condi-tion? A doctor requires X-ray examina-tion of the affected joint before declaring that a person has pseudogout. Stronger evidence of the diagnosis is obtained by drawing fluid from the joint and examining it microscopically. The distinctive crystals of CPPD can be seen -- proof positive.Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs -- Aleve, Motrin, Advil and many others -- usually can control this illness and the pain it causes. If they don’t, an injection of cortisone into the joint will. For recurrent attacks, colchicine -- the same drug used for gout -- works for pseudogout, too.The pamphlet on gout and pseudogout explains both illnesses and their treat-ments.

To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 302W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or mon-ey 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: My wife of 41 years has tremors. She is 62. The tremors started in her mid-50s. Her mother is 85 and shakes so bad she can’t write or hardly help herself. They told her it is hereditary. Is there any medication or treatment available? My wife is getting very frustrated. She’s not able to carry out simple tasks. -- P.E.

ANSWER: Your wife and mother-in-law most likely have familial tremor, also called essential tremor. It does run in families. There is treatment. Proprano-lol (Inderal) and primidone (Mysoline) work very well for most. Both your wife and her mother should be getting treat-ment. A neurologist is the doctor who specializes in tremors and their treat-ment.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband and I wish to leave our bodies to sci-ence but do not know whom to contact. How do we go about this? -- E. and C.D.

ANSWER: You and your husband deserve a round of applause. Most medical schools have a body-donation program. Contact the medical school nearest you and ask for the anatomi-cal donation committee or the anatomy department.If you can’t make contact with a medi-cal school, three organizations can assist you in donating your bodies: MedCure (866-560-2525), BioGift (866-670-1799) and Science Care (800-417-3747).***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column when-ever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.


- Here’s a great conversation piece: Get a big, shal-low bowl or box, fill it with loose snapshots (prefera-bly of holidays past) and set it on your coffee table. People can’t resist photos.

- “I’ve loved this little trick since I saw it used at a party years ago. I serve iced tea (or punch) at most of my get-togethers, and instead of ice cubes, I freeze several pounds of cleaned, de-stemmed white grapes. They are a hit at every party.” -- M.A. in New York

- Need almost-instant party snacks? Try a package of store-bought cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions (usually only a few minutes), toss with oil or salad dressing and stick each on a toothpick.

- “A great way to make guests comfortable is to print out a copy of the channel lineup for your cable service provider. You also can print out common remote-control buttons or any remote-control or TV instructions for playing a DVD, etc. This helps us older folks enjoy a few hours of TV time while the younger kids are out at work or school.” -- H.P. in Nebraska

- If you’re serving hot rolls on a buffet, line the bas-ket with aluminum foil before you line it with a towel. They’ll stay warm longer that way.

- Try this tip to avoid overeating at holiday parties: Keep a drink in your dominant hand. You’ll be less likely to graze on high-fat chips and other snack foods. Need a little something? Hope for a veggie platter. But whether it’s veggies or chips, grab a couple and then WALK AWAY from the table before you can hit the dip.

The Instant ClassicThe classic rubber salmon and cold chocolate-chip cookie award banquet is, sadly, going the way of the two-martini lunch and corporate ex-pense account. We used to complain about them, but nostalgia has a way of making even the most unfortunate catered affairs in dingy hotel “ballrooms” seem like a night at the Playboy Mansion. My old pal Bill Grigsby, rest his soul, was the longtime voice of the Kansas City Chiefs, the in-augural broadcaster for the Super Bowl, and the announcer guy for the local professional wres-tling telecasts back in the day. As such, he was a mainstay in the Midwest’s cocktail circuit.We had been to so many luncheons and award banquets that we could almost call ourselves a comedy duo. Though Grigsby never liked to share microphone, I was always happy to toss him a few softballs to get him started, usually with the tried and true “Hey, Grigs, tell us about the time you ...” opening line.Invariably, he’d begin with his “nursing home” shtick. It seems that one time he met up with an elderly lady in the lobby of one such home. “Do you know who I am,” he asked her. “No,” the lady replied, adding, “but if you ask the people at the front desk, they can tell you.”That always killed.Then there was that story “about that one time” he and legendary coach Hank Stram were hired to speak at a banquet of some sort. Grigsby spoke first, probably told the nursing home story, and then ceded the stage to Stram. This was back in the days of receiving cash for your work, so Grigsby collected the envelope from the event sponsor, then took the envelope to the bathroom where he cranked up the hot water in the sink and used the steam to open the envelope, which yielded $400. Grigs pocketed a c-note, left $300 and then resealed the envelope. Grigs gave the envelope to Stram after he got off the stage. Lat-er that night, driving home, Grigsby asked how they made out money-wise.“Cheapskates,” Stram replied. “They only paid us $200.”I’m reminded of this as I watch the video of for-mer quarterback Joe Kapp deck former defen-sive tackle and pro-wrestler Angelo Mosca at a recent Canadian Football League banquet. For those who managed to miss it, the 70-something Kapp decked the 70-something Mosca before they were set to recount stories of their playing days. Mosca hit Kapp with a cane, Kapp decked him with a movie star-worthy right to the jaw. And then the two of them dusted off and went on to tell stories “about that one time ...”Like the ol’ cocktail circuit -- unfortunate as it was -- it was an instant classic.

NASCAR THIS WEEKBy Monte Dutton

Truck Champ Dillon Going Nationwide

Another generation found its wings and took flight.Or, at least, hoisted a trophy in celebration.Austin Dillon is the 21-year-old grandson of team owner and former driver Richard Childress. Chil-dress won six (now) Sprint Cup championships with the great Dale Earnhardt.Dillon drove a Chevy Silverado with No. 3 on its sides to the championship of the Camping World Truck Series. Three, of course, is the number indel-ibly associated with Earnhardt, and Dillon will carry it with him when he competes next year in the Na-tionwide Series.“Our whole family is involved, and I remember the very first championship with Dale Earnhardt,” Chil-dress reminisced. “I had the same feeling tonight watching Austin, my grandson. It’s just so special to have the family and know how hard all of them worked.”Dillon called it “the best feeling I’ve ever had in my entire life.”He said one key to the advancement of his career was “watching these guys in the (Sprint) Cup Se-ries talk to each other.”“I listen to Tony Stewart, and I listen to Carl Ed-wards and the different approaches they take to it,” Dillon said. “Offense is your best defense most of the time in racing ...”“Darrell Waltrip told me the best feeling in the world is going home stinking and having a trophy in your lap, and we were able to do that.”Younger brother Ty will compete next year in the ride being vacated by Austin.Of Austin, Childress said, “He handles pressure better than a lot of people his age, and his brother Ty does, too.“They must get it from their mom, because me and their dad (Mike Dillon) get a little wound up some-times.”

• Some popular evergreens not previously mentioned are: hemlock, laurel, holly, euca-lyptus, rhododendron, magnolia, palm, juniper and redwood. Even some oaks are evergreen. • Evergreens are found in hot and cold, hu-mid and dry climates on every continent but Antarctica. • Goose Island State Park in Aransas Coun-ty in southern Texas is the home of the “Big Tree.” Named the State Champion Coastal Live Oak in 1969, this tree is thought to be one of the largest in America. The large evergreen oak is estimated to be over 1,000 years old, has a circumference of 35 feet (10.7 m), is 44 feet (13.4 m) tall and has a crown spread of 90 feet (27.4 m). Live oaks are known for their massive spread, and there are many in the Southern states around old historic homes. This Texas tree is truly impressive.• Washington, the only state named after a president, is famous for its rainy weather and large forests of evergreen trees. Nicknamed the “Evergreen State,” western Washington actually has rain forests in the Olympic Moun-tains. • Even though the name implies it, evergreens are not always green. Many evergreens actu-ally have foliage that is red, brown, yellow and other colors.

• Pecan pie is always a favorite pie in the Southern United States, but many in other U.S. locations and Canada enjoy the pie as well. Still, in nearly every poll, the favorite pie in North America is apple pie. Whether your favorite variety is pumpkin, berry, apple or pecan, as you eat your holiday meals this year, leave some room for pie.• Brunswick, the pecan capital of Missouri, has been holding an annual festival since 1980. Brunswick is also the home of the world’s largest pecan. James Pecan Farms, east of town, is where the “Starking Hardy Giant” pecan was constructed of concrete in 1982. • The Sahuarita Pecan Festival, “the nuttiest festival in Arizona,” is held in an area where pecan orchards need more than rain to grow. Sahuarita is home of the world’s largest ir-rigated pecan orchard, with approximately 106,000 trees growing on 6,000 acres (2428 ha). • Okmulgee, Oklahoma, was known for its festival and “world’s largest” pecan pie. Un-fortunately, that festival was cancelled in 1999, after 25 years of huge pies. • Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico and both North and South Caro-lina all have pecan festivals as well. All have their own “personalities,” but you can bet that all have pecan pie. The Tidbits® Paper is a Division of Tidbits Media, Inc. • Montgomery, AL 36106

Q: I love watching one of my favorite “clas-sic” TV shows, “Designing Women,” in re-runs whenever I get the chance. I’ve decid-ed to ask Santa for the boxed sets on DVD, but can only find seasons one through four. Will season five be out before the holidays? -- Jeanne C., Conyers, Ga.A: You, and the rest of us “Designing Women” fans, are in luck -- season five was released on DVD Dec. 6, right in the nick of time for Jolly Ole St. Nick to place a copy in your stocking. Season five begins with Charlene enrolling in college, Suzanne accidentally bidding on a date with Anthony, Mary Jo deciding to want a baby, and Julia secretly moonlighting as a nightclub song-stress. The four-disc set includes all 24 original episodes -- with all the hairspray and shoulder pads that that entails. This season is also the last to include original cast members Jean Smart and Delta Burke, who left before season six to be replaced by Jan Hooks (who stayed for seasons six and seven) and Julia Duffy (who was in season six only).***Q: It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for the rest of the second season of “Pretty Little Liars” to air.
