A Real Choice In Soft Water

Surprisingly, there’s actually a lot to admire about the lowly cockroach. Come along with Tidbits as we step on them anyway. A SUCCESS STORY • In Spanish, “cuco” or “cuca” means caterpillar, and “acha” means “contemptible” which combine to form “cucaracha,” or cockroach. According to the book “The Compleat Cockroach” by David Gordon, this widely reviled insect is one of the most successful species ever to walk the earth.

• Roaches first appeared on the scene some 340 million years ago, which was 180 million years before dinosaurs appeared; 200 million years before flowers, seeds, nuts, and pollen showed up on Earth; and some 338 million years before Homo erectus began walking around. Except for minor adaptations, their design has remained nearly unchanged throughout the eons. • There are about 3,500 species of cockroach, though scientists are still discovering new ones. About 50 types of roach are considered to be domestic pests. Of those 50, only five show up regularly in American homes, and all five of those are not native to the U.S. but were imported accidentally. • Unlike flies and mosquitoes, cockroaches are not known to spread disease.

ming have no native species of roach.
• According to records kept by the makers of cockroach control products, people who live in Los Angeles buy the most insecticides, followed by New York City, Houston, Miami, and Dallas. Roaches live in volcanic steam vents of Alaska 2,000 feet (610 m) underground, and in coal mines in England. • In 1969 a worker preparing the Apollo XII command module Yankee Clipper for liftoff saw one inside the capsule. No one ever knew what became of the bug. It might have traveled all the way to the Moon. • One of the largest roach species comes from Colombia and is just under 4 inches (10 cm) long. The heaviest comes from Australia and weighs about as much as an AA battery. One of the smallest species is about the size of half a peppercorn and it lives alongside social insects such as ants, bees, wasps, and termites, living off their food stores evidently in exchange for keeping the area clean. THE HEADLESS WONDER • The cockroach has a collection of nerve cells resembling a primitive brain in its head and also in its tail. The two nerve centers are connected and help the insect react quickly when disturbed. However, they are able to operate separately from each other. Because of this, cockroaches can live for weeks after being decapitated, eventually dying of dehydration or starvation. (continued) • One scientist suspended cockroaches over a salt solution. If a roach extended its leg it would get wet, which completed an electrical circuit, delivering a shock to the bug. It took the cockroaches about half an hour to learn to keep their legs up to avoid the shock. The researcher then tried the experiment using decapitated cockroaches and found they were able to learn just as quickly. • A test performed in 1957 showed that female roaches with access to water but no food could live 42 days before dying of starvation. Those given no food and no water lived two to three weeks. Thus, they are ideally suited for travelling and can be shut up for long periods of time while being accidentally shipped from one area of the world to another, whether it’s in a soldier’s duffel bag, a ship full of timber, or a truckload of produce.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The pitterpatter of all those Sheep feet means that you’re out and about, rushing to get more done. That’s fine, but slow down by the weekend so you can heed some important advice. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re in charge of your own destiny these days, and, no doubt, you’ll have that Bull’s-eye of yours right on target. But don’t forget to make time for family events. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared for a power struggle that you don’t want. Look to the helpful folks around you for advice on how to avoid it without losing the important gains you’ve made. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulations! You’re about to claim your hard-earned reward for your patience and persistence. Now, go out and enjoy some fun and games with friends and family. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat might find it difficult to shake off that listless feeling. But be patient. By week’s end, your spirits will perk up and you’ll be your perfectly purring self again. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A problem with a co-worker could prove to be a blessing in disguise when a superior steps in to investigate and discovers a situation that could prove helpful to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new associate brings ideas that the wise Sagittarian quickly will realize can benefit both of you. Meanwhile, someone from the workplace makes an emotional request. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It might be a good idea to ease up on that hectic pace and spend more time studying things you’ll need to know when more opportunities come later in November. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A relatively quiet time is now giving way to a period of high activity. Face it with the anticipation that it will bring you some welldeserved boons and benefits. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Go with the flow, or make waves? It’s up to you. Either way, you’ll get noticed. However, make up your own mind. Don’t let anyone tell you what choices to make. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to examine everything before you agree to accept what you’re told. Your need for truth keeps all those around you honest. (c) 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

2016 Radiothon
November is approaching, and that means it’s time for the Fourth Annual Radiothon in support of the Moose Jaw Humane Society! On November 4th, our dedicated manager will be rising before the sun to star on Country 100 starting at 6:00am. She and the Country 100 team will be broadcasting live from the Town ‘N’ Country Mall, telling the stories of the amazing animals we have had the privilege to meet over the past year. They will also be talking about what goes into caring for the numerous creatures who come to us in their time of need. Did you know that we care for more than 1500 lost souls every year? As a result, we go through 8064 cans of cat food and 9000 pounds of dry dog food every year. Our cats will use approximately 24000 pounds of cat litter every year. Countless dollars are spent on vaccinations, deworming, spaying and neutering, and emergency veterinary care every month, let alone every year. This is all paid for through fundraising efforts and the generous donations from our caring community. The Radiothon is the perfect opportunity to make a donation easily and safely. Throughout the entire day of broadcasting, which runs from 6:00am to 6:00pm on November 4th, we have a special telephone line set up specifically for donations, which is being proudly sponsored and operated by Shaw. At any point in these twelve hours, you can call 306-972-PETS to donate anything from $1 to $100 or more. All donations, no matter how big or small, mean the world to the animals in our care, and every cent donated stays right here at the Moose Jaw Humane Society in order to save these beautiful souls. Please do not forget to listen to Country 100 on November 4th and to call 306-972-PETS to make a donation. Even if each person only donated $1, enough money would be raised to make an invaluable difference in the lives of Moose Jaw’s animals in need. That is something worthy of a phone call.

Safety Bits Fun and Safe Halloween Party Guide
Hosting a Halloween party can be fun, but it’s also a big responsibility. Halloween parties favor outlandish pageantry, amazing costumes, eye-catching decor, and enough scares and tricks to amuse thrill-seekers. While fun is often the primary focus of Halloween, party hosts also need to prioritize safety when hosting spooky soirees. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, an organization dedicated to protecting kids from unintentional injuries, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween compared to other days of the year. But Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. Alcohol has become a big part of many adults’ Halloween celebrations, and that means hosts must take steps to safeguard their guests from overdoing it with alcohol. Traffic accident reports compiled from 2008 to 2012 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that more than 50 percent of all fatal car accidents on Halloween involve a drunk driver. As party planners start to plan their Halloween festivities, it’s important to remember that safety must be a priority. • Prepare the space. A raucous party may lead to accidents around the house. Move out any extra furniture so guests have more space to move around. Remove breakable items from rooms where guests will spend most of their time. • Skip the candles. Battery-operated tealights create the effect of real candles without the danger. Illuminate jacko’-lanterns and other Halloween items with flickering LEDs, which won’t start a fire if they’re knocked over. • Hire a bartender. If the party is an adult affair, invest in a professional bartender or server who can monitor guests’ alcohol consumption. He or she can cut off those who have had too much and prevent guests from becoming intoxicated. • Provide adequate lighting. Darkness might remind many of Halloween, but an entertaining space should not be so dark that guests cannot move around safely. Be sure to illuminate all walkways and clearly indicate exits so that guests can get to safety if necessary. Remove any obstacles on the floor that are tripping hazards, and be sure to use nonslip runners and rugs. • Practice food safety. Many Halloween treats and desserts contain nuts, and this can pose a hazard to those with nut allergies. Label foods and attempt to make the party nut-free if there is someone attending with a nut allergy. Many foods can be left out at room temperature for anywhere from one to two hours. Promptly refrigerate any leftovers so that they do not spoil and cause foodborne illnesses. • Arrange for transportation home. Guests who imbibe should have a safe and sober means of getting home. This may mean arranging for cabs or ride-share services for guests. • Keep an eye on kids. Children can get into mischief any day of the year, but especially so under the cloak of Halloween darkness. Routinely conduct a head count to be sure everyone is safe and sound. Halloween parties can be safe and enjoyable at the same time. Enlist the help of others to ensure that all guests are protected while they engage in costumeclad fun. Brought To You By:

“Sit on your bottom, Face your food, Hands to yourself, It’s time to eat!”
These are the words of greeting from Shannon the lunchroom aide, as elementary students eagerly enter the cafeteria every day. “It’s important to set the tone so that kids have a positive experience during this short, 25-minute block in the school day,” she told me. “Students have to eat to be good learners.” As she glides around benches and darts between long tables, helping kids open milk cartons or loosen tight thermos lids, she reminds kids not to trade food (there are too many food allergies) and, while it’s encouraged to visit with neighbors, to use indoor voices, please. Shannon has seen a lot of lunches. I was curious for a good story, so she told about the day she opened a thermos lid and, to her surprise, found a hot dog in hot water instead of the predictable soup or leftover spaghetti from last night’s dinner. A bun and two packets of ketchup were packed alongside. While peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are still a childhood classic, packed lunches are going through a makeover as both parents and kids take time to think healthy over the noon hour. I did my own snooping around and noted fewer prepackaged, high-fat foods in favor of fresh fruit, whole-wheat wraps, hard-boiled eggs (with shells removed), yummy green salads, veggie dippers and dips, yogurt and milk. If your lunch-packing routine is already in a
February 24 March 3, 2017
rut this fall, try these tips to get back on track: * Get kids involved: When they take ownership of making their own lunches, it’s likely the food won’t be thrown into the trash or traded. Start by shopping together. There are many healthy choices today and lots of practical lessons in the grocery aisle. You might ask, “Should we buy a case of individually wrapped pretzels, crackers and trail mix or instead buy big boxes and make single-size portions in reusable lunch containers ourselves?” * Create a lunch-making “deli station”: Designate one drawer close to the breadbox, fruit bowl and refrigerator to store lunch bags and coins for purchasing milk and juice. Set aside a section in the refrigerator devoted to sandwich makings. Cut up and chill veggies at the beginning of the week, and they’ll be ready to add to lunches in the morning. “The grandkids are coming!” tip: When a preschool grandchild comes to visit while an older sibling is at school, pack fun lunches together. Cut out sandwich shapes with cookie cutters, decorate lunch bags with stickers and enjoy a fall walk and a backpack picnic in the park. Bon appe’tot’!

Cockroaches Continued from page 2
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
KILLING COCKROACHES
• To attract a mate, a female roach will flex her legs, lift her wings, and emit a chemical “perfume” called a pheromone that can be detected by a male roach up to 33 feet (10 m) away. When the male approaches, the two seem to do a bit of fencing with their antennae.
• 400 rads of radiation can kill a human — but it takes 3,200 rads to kill a cockroach, and some can survive 10,000 rads. That means that some cockroaches survived Hiroshima. So how can you eradicate a roach? Through chemical warfare. One of the cheapest and most reliable methods of roach control is powdered boric acid. Boric acid is commonly used as an eyewash and is available at any drug store. It’s also called Borax and found in the laundry aisle of the supermarket. Roaches that walk through this will groom themselves, ingesting the powder which collects in their gut, eventually killing them.
• In the majority of roach species, mating encounters are casual and the female later drops her egg case in a safe location and abandons it. But the story is different with the brown-hooded wood cockroach, which inhabits the Atlantic coastline from New York to Georgia. They mate for life. Together the male and female chew into wood making a series of small chambers where they live with their family for the rest of their lives. About a year after the male and female bond, their first offspring are born and both parents tend the young. Families usually consist of less than half a dozen youngsters. The families stick together for three or four years while the young mature. COCKROACH LANGUAGE • Cockroaches are able to make noises in the same way crickets and katydids do, by rubbing body parts together. The sound is similar to running a finger over the teeth of a comb. They are also able to emit a squeak when captured which is loud enough to sometimes startle the predator into dropping them. The Madagascar hissing cockroach when disturbed expels air from its abdomen producing a noise that can be heard 12 feet (3.6 m) away.
Meatloaf: Comfort Food At It’s Best There are very few dishes that combine tradition and innovation the way that meatloaf does. Statistically, affluent baby boomers order the entree on a regular basis when dining out. Whether it’s made from ground beef combined with pork or veal, or a more modern version featuring ground turkey or chicken, meatloaf is at the top of the list of comfort foods. It’s about time this humble dish got the recognition it deserves. It takes about 1 1/2 pounds of ground meat to make a meatloaf that serves six people. I’ve found that “marinating” the ground meat in a bowl with 1/4 cup of water, a tablespoon of mild to medium salsa, and a tablespoon each of Worcestershire sauce and steak sauce makes for a moister, more flavorful meatloaf. I season my meatloaf with salt, pepper, minced bell pepper, garlic, onions and 1/2 of a shredded carrot, along with fresh herbs including parsley, thyme and basil or a tablespoon of dried Italian Seasoning. A cup of a starch or binder is the next component in a classic meatloaf. I use seasoned breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, and an egg. A gentle touch when combining the mixture ensures that the meatloaf will be well-seasoned, but won’t be tough. The final step in making a traditional meatloaf is adding the “gravy.” I combine ketchup with salt, pepper and medium salsa or barbecue sauce. I pour off any accumulated fat, and then slather the topping on the meatloaf halfway through the cooking process. Meatloaf isn’t a complex dish nor does it make a visually stunning presentation, but it has provided

• Spray a roach with Raid and a chemical dissolves the creature’s exoskeleton, a truly horrible way to die. • The labs at the S. C. Johnson Corp. breed and raise around 80,000 roaches each week for the express purpose of finding new ways to kill them. The company manufactures insecticides such as Raid, so a full-time staff works to provide experimental victims. • When a recipe for controlling roaches appeared in a “Hints from Heloise” article in 1982, the editors of the column were swamped with over 40,000 requests for copies. • Roaches provide food for various animals that prey on roaches, supplying three times as much protein as chicken meat.

a tasty way to stretch a dollar for generations of American families. As a friend of mine once said, “It’s a lot of meat in a loaf, and you don’t have to chew it very much -- what’s not to like?” M I N I MEATLOAVES The great thing about this recipe from the Betty Crocker kitchens (www. bettycrocker.com/ recipes) is that the meat loaves cook in just 30 minutes and provide individual servings. This would make a great main-course dish for children or a unique appetizer for a retro recipe party. 1/2 cup ketchup 1/2 tablespoon packed brown sugar 1 pound lean (at least 80 percent) ground beef 1/2 pound ground pork 1/2 cup Original Bisquick mix 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/4 cup) 1 egg
mixture. 3. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160 F. Serves 6. Substitution: While the mixture of ground beef and pork gives these little loaves a unique flavor, you can also use 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef instead. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

Halloween superstitions revealed Halloween is steeped in tradition. Halloween season also is a time of year when superstitions take root and add to the spooky and often silly nature of the holiday. Some Halloween traditions can be traced back to the ancient Celts and their belief that spirits of the deceased were able to wander the earth during the time they called Samhain. Costumes were worn so the living could blend in with ghosts, and treats were laid out to appease the spirits. Over the years, additional Halloween superstitions have emerged. The origins vary, but the following are some common superstitions to consider as October 31 draws near. ¥ Some believe that bats flying around a house on Halloween ~ either indoors or outside ~ is a sign that spirits lurk nearby. ¥ Black cats have long been thought to be companions of witches or 'familiars,’ demonic animals gifted to them. While some think it’s bad luck for a black cat to cross your path, in Ireland, Scotland and England, black cats symbolize good luck. • One Halloween superstition states that if you walk around your home backward three times and then counterclockwise three times before the sun sets on Halloween, you will ward off nearby evil spirits. • Legend has it that you will have good luck if you sleep facing south the night before Halloween. • Apples can help people determine if they will live long lives. On Halloween night, you have to make an unbroken apple peel, which will estimate how long you will live. The longer the peel is, the longer you’ll live. • Another superstition suggests that if you spot a spider on Halloween, the spirit of a deceased loved one is watching over you. • It is said that no person should lie in a coffin while alive, even for fun. Otherwise, he or she is inviting
death. Also, no item of clothing belonging to a living person should ever be put on a corpse when it is placed in a coffin, for as it rots in the grave so will the rightful owner’s health begin to decline. • Children who are born on Halloween are said to have the gift of second sight, which may also include the power to ward off evil spirits. • People have been warned not to turn around on Halloween night if they hear footsteps behind them, as this could mean Death is following. • There is a superstition that when you pass a graveyard or house where someone has died, you should turn your pockets inside out to make sure you don’t bring home a ghost in your pocket. • Jack-o’-lanterns light up Halloween nights. Jack-o’-lanterns were originally made out of hollowed-out turnips, but pumpkins replaced the turnips when the Irish emigrated to North America. Jack-o’-lanterns were used to guide lost souls and keep evil spirits at bay. Halloween is full of superstitions, myths and traditions that have been passed down through the years.
Q. What do ghosts say when something is really neat? A.Ghoul Q. Why did the ghost go into the bar? A. For the Boos. Q. Why was the girl afraid of the vampire? A. He was all bite and no bark. Q. Why did the game warden arrest the ghost? A. He didn’t have a haunting license. Q. Why didn’t the skeleton dance at the party? A. He had no body to dance with. Q. Where does Count Dracula usually eat his lunch? A. At the casketeria.
