TIDBITS® PICKS SOMEPUMPKINS & POTATOES

by Patricia L. Cook

Fall is time for digging potatoes, plucking pumpkins from vines, and putting blankets back on the beds for cold weather. Let’s consider some Tidbits about pumpkins and potatoes.

If you live in a •northern latitude or a high eleva-tion, you probably picked the last to-matoes, cucum-bers, peppers and other frost sensi-tive crops weeks ago, but pump-kins and potatoes keep growers busy through the fall season.Be aware, “There comes a time when •it cannot be put off any longer. The ra-dio warns of a killing frost coming in the night, and you must say good-bye to the garden. You dread it, as you dread saying good-bye to any good friend; but the gar-den waits with its last gifts, and you must go with a bushel basket or big buckets to receive them.” Quote from Rachel Peden whose column, “The Hoosier Farm Wife Says…” was a popular feature in the In-dianapolis Star for many years.Pumpkins are thought to originate from •Central America. They are now grown on every continent except Antarctica.If you collect your pumpkins in a basket… •you better be growing the small “pie” pumpkins or a “mini” variety. Most pump-kins are big and heavy and used as fall or Halloween decorationsMorton, Illinois is the self-proclaimed •“Pumpkin Capital of the World.” The Lib-by Company’s pumpkin plant is located there.Would you like an “original” pumpkin pie? •It wasmade by early colonists by fillinga hollowed out pumpkin shell with milk, honey and spices and baked in hot ashes. Yummm!

So you might want to rethink major purchases or investments. Also, be wary of a so-called revelation about a previous decision.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Both household budgets and workplace accounts might ben-efitfromsomejudicioustrimmingofunneces-sary expenses. A partnership could lead to an unexpected challenge.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A previously overlooked opportunity could re-emerge with a new travel-related matter. Check this out carefully to see if it’s what you really want be-fore you decide one way or another.LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be the start of a new career-changing phase, so start marking down your many accomplish-ments for those who need to know how much you have to offer. Good luck.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s not too early for the sometimes procrastinat-ing Virgo to start making those long-distance travel plans. The sooner you decide where to go, when to go and how to go, the better.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Fi-nancialmattersonceagainfigureinanyma-jor action you might take regarding career, travel or other endeavors. You’ll want a ready reserve to help you back up those moves.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Trying to resolve a problem in a personal re-lationship couldbemoredifficult thanyou’dexpected.

You might even want to show off those creative kitchen skills you’re so adept at.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A colleague might think your attitude is pa-tronizing or even outright insulting. True. That might be his or her problem. But you might want to take some reassuring steps anyway.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to jettison those old concepts about a family matter you might have been holding on to. This will help make room for a new and more enlightened way of dealing with it.BORN THIS WEEK: You like to analyze a puzzling situation before you try to resolve it. This makes you excel at getting things done the right way.

Behaving responsibly with your credit is no guarantee that the credit-card companies won’t make unwarranted changes to your terms.Let’s say you’re a responsible credit user who is never late making credit-card pay-ments, pays more than the minimum each month and keeps your balances below 30 percent of available credit. You have high credit scores, and you’re proud of that fact. You believe that as long as you continue to handle credit in a responsible manner, your scores will stay high, allowing you to get excellent interest rates when you apply for loans.It’s not necessarily so. Your scores can drop anyway.Take this example: You have a card with a $10,000 available credit limit. You keep your balances down around $3,000 -- ap-proximately 30 percent. Without any good reason (except that it just wants to), your credit-card company drops your available credit, perhaps down to $5,000. Suddenly your credit usage appears to be at 60 per-cent. Your credit scores will fall based on using too much of the available credit, with-out your having done a single thing wrong. An even worse case is when the card com-panies lower your available credit every month down to the level of your new bal-ance: Make a payment, and the result is your new credit availability, and you’re us-ing 100 percent of it. It appears that you’ve maxed out your card.If this happens to you, you’re not alone. Credit-card companies have cut available credit to many. Now, per the new laws, they will have to warn you in advance, but it likely won’t be in time for you to pay down balanc-es so that your percentage of credit used stays low. One-third of your credit score de-pends on how well you stay within the limits of your available credit.Keepasharpeyeoutforinformationleafletsfrom your credit-card companies. You might be told that your new minimum payment will be an increased percentage of the existing balance, or that your interest rate is rising, your due date is changing or your available credit is being slashed.Then look at your credit-card statements each and every month to see if those chang-es have taken effect.As always when dealing with credit-card companies: beware. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally an-swer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Credit-Card Deck Stacked Against You

Tidbits® - Denver Metro Area Page 3October 26, 2009

Santa Rosa, CA is now a city park.The potato Idaho is famous for is a little •different from the original Burbank. It is a Russet Burbank that has a “netted gem” exterior…a slightly rough skin. 2008 was designated the “International •Year of the Potato” by the United Na-tions. Since the 1990s production in Asia, Africa, and Latin America has greatly in-creased. This is great considering the huge populations in these areas. Pota-toes are improving the food supply.China is now the number one producer of •potatoes but with a smaller yield per acre (hectare) than North America.Have you ever been asked if you would •like gravy with your fries? Yep, you may be asked that in Canada and some plac-es in the U.S. as well. If the dish includes cheese curds, it is routine. This dish orig-inated in Quebec in the 1950s.“Potatoes served at breakfast, At dinner •served again; Potatoes served at sup-per, Forever and Amen!” …Pennsylvania Prayer.Now is the time to start using the veg-•etables frozen or canned for winter and dream of pumpkin pie and mashed po-tatoes!

PUMPKINS & POTATOES (continued)

Pumpkins are in the Cucurbita plant fam-•ily as are squash. The Greek work for pumpkin, “pepon” means large melon. Cucumbers are in this family as well.Using pumpkins as lanterns (Jack-o-•lanterns) was started by Irish immigrants based on an ancient Celtic custom. All Hallows Eve was the end of the old Celtic calendar year and the Irish would hollow out turnips, rutabagas and beets and put candles inside. They sat the veggie cre-ations on windowsills to ward off evil.Once upon a time…pumpkins were rec-•ommended for removing freckles and treating snake bites.Do you remember the pumpkin carriage •used by Cinderella to hurry home from the ball? Your children or grandchildren certainly do! But…just like the “frog-into-a-prince-kiss” it only works in a make-believe world.

People in North America love pumpkin •pie. The highest consumption is during the U.S. and Canadian Thanksgiving holidays. The U.S. holiday is the fourth Thursday in November but the Canadian holiday is the second Monday in Octo-ber.The largest pumpkin pie ever baked •weighed 2,020 pounds (916 kg). The feat, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, was accomplished on October 8, 2005 by the New Bremen Gi-ant Pumpkin Growers of New Bremen, Ohio. How do you mend a broken Jack-O-Lan-•tern? With a pumpkin patch!Pumpkins and potatoes are excellent •sourcesoffiber.Botharealsorichinpo-tassium. Pumpkins are rich in Vitamin A and potatoes are rich in Vitamin C.Potatoes are thought to originate from •the Andes of South America. Some really cool looking potatoes of different shapes, sizes and colors still grow there today – many at elevations around 13,000 feet.

Think about this…“It’s easy to halve the •potato where there’s love.” Irish Proverb Do you ever wonder about the origin of these sayings? Can you see the roman-tic couple buttering their halved potato in the candlelight?!Are you an average American? If so, you •probably eat around 126 pounds (57 kg) of potatoes each year. Approximately one-third of U.S. potatoes are grown in Idaho. Canadians like potatoes too… the rate of consumption is even higher at 157 pounds (71 kg) per person. This is about the same as the combined total for all other fresh vegetables consumed in Canada.Idaho® Potatoes and the “Grown in Ida-•ho®”sealarefederallyregisteredcertifi-cation marks for the Idaho Potato Com-mission.Luther Burbank, born in Massachusetts •in 1849, is known for the development of the Burbank potato. He sold the rights to his potato for $150 and moved to Califor-nia where he bought a 15 acre (6 hect-ares) farm on Gold Ridge in Sebastopol in 1885. Today, his farm is listed on the National Historic Register and is open year round for tours. His home in nearby

On Oct. 26, 1825,• the 425-mile Erie Canal opens, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean via the Hudson River. The work was largely done by Irish diggers, who had to rely on primitive tools. They were paid $10 a month, and barrels of whiskey were placed along the canal route as encouragement.On Oct. 28, 1886• , the Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France, is dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. On the pedestal was inscribed “The New Colossus,” a sonnet by American poet Emma Lazarus that begins “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”On Oct. 31, 1912• , “The Musketeers of Pig Alley,” directed by D.W. Griffith,debuts.Themovie,whichfollowed the career of a gangster nicknamed the Snapper Kid, initiated a long Hollywood tradition of “gangster movies.”On Oct. 30, 1938• , Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of “War of the Worlds” -- a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth. Perhaps as many as a million radio listeners believed that a real Martian invasion was under way.On Oct. 29, 1948• , killer smog continues to hover over Donora, Pa.Duringafive-dayperiod, thesmog killed about 20 people and made thousands more seriously ill. Airborne pollutants emitted from a zinc smelting plant and steel mills appeared to have been trapped by fog close to the ground, where they were inhaled by local residents.On Oct. 27, 1954,• “Disneyland,” WaltDisney’sfirsttelevisionseries,premieres on ABC. The one-hour show, introduced by Tinkerbell, presented a rotating selection of cartoons, dramas, movies and other entertainment. It ran for 34 years under various names.On Nov. 1, 1969,• “Suspicious Minds,” by Elvis Presley, hits No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The song wasPresley’sfirstchart-topperinseven years and would be his last, as he failed to hit the Top 10 again before his death in 1977.

Stop Bill CollectorsDebt collectors don’t always play by the rules. Threatening letters and harassing phone calls can force you to pay a bill that is unfair and unaffordable. Unreasonable collection costs, late fees, and interest penalties are usually added to extract even more money from you than the original debt owed. In the hands of a debt collector, a $ 2,000 credit card obligation can quickly balloon to $ 4,000.

If you have felt the stress of unfair debt collection, you can put an end to the harassing phone calls and non-stop collection letters. According to Colorado State and federal laws, there are rights granted to you surrounding the repayment of debts owed. These rights are protected by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Since bankruptcy may not always be the best solution for everyone, the FDCPA canhelppeopleavoidfilingforbankruptcy,and the proceeds from settlements can be beneficialtowardspayingoffdebt.

Attorney John Cimino has helped countless clients understand their rights under the FDCPA. According to Attorney Cimino, “Federal laws were put into place to protect you from abusive collection practices, including the following illegal actions:

Harassment or abuse over the phone •by a bill collector (including them yelling, insulting, and swearing at you)

Threatening you with lawsuits, •garnishments, arrest, or other forms of legal action

False representation or misleading •statements from a debt collector

Continuous calls to your family, friends, •or employers

Persistent calling at work or at all hours •of the day/night, after you’ve asked them to stop

Additional fees or interest that are invalid •or phony

Leaving anonymous or potentially •misleading messages in an attempt to have you return their phone call.”

Violations of the FDCPA by both collection agencies and attorneys have been occurring at alarmingly high rates. Attorney Cimino will discuss your rights with you to see if you have been a victim of abusive or illegal debt collection, and he will protect you from any further creditor harassment.

Attorney Cimino has been practicing law for over 35 years, so he has a wealth of knowledge about the different types of abusive and illegal collection practices,

and his experience can help you collect c o m p e n s a t i o n from any actual damages you may have endured. Each individual case will be treated by determining what is in your best interest, andthenfightingforthe solution that will bestsuityourspecificsituation.

If you believe you have been a victim of unfair or illegal debt collection practices, contact Attorney Cimino today to set up a free consultation: He’ll help you improve your financial situation and he’llmake thephone calls stop.

Attorney Cimino can also help you with harassing mortgage lenders and pending lawsuits. “If you are being sued and have givenupfightingbecauseyoucan’taffordto defend yourself, don’t passively assume there is no hope. Many measures can be taken to assure that you come out on top.” Attorney Cimino states.

The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best ground beef from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb. “Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who’ll know?” Again, the dog growls men-acingly. “Alright, alright,” as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five.Thedog threatens tochewhimoffattheankles.Anotherfivegoesinthebasket.The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the pup home. The dog quickly en-ters a high-rise building, pushes the lift but-ton, enters the lift, and then pushes the but-tonfor the12thfloor.Thedogwalksdownthe corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog’s owner screams at the dog. “Hey, what are

you doing? That’s a really smart dog you’ve got there,” comments the butcher. “He’s a stupid dog--that’s the third time this week he’s forgotten his key.”Psychiatrist: What’s your problem? Patient: I think I’m a chicken. Psychiatrist: How long has this been going on? Patient: Ever since I was an egg!While waiting for a bus, the blind man’s dog decided to go to the bathroom all over the blind man’s legs. A passerby commented to the blind man, “What! That dog just went to the bathroom all over your legs, and you are petting him?! Are you crazy?” To which the blind man replied, “Madam, I am not pet-ting him, I am feeling for his bottom, so I can kick him.”There was a terrible bus accident. Un-fortunately, no one survived the accident except a monkey which was on board and there were no witnesses. The police try to investigate further but they get no results. At last, they try to interrogate the monkey. The monkey seems to respond to their questions with gestures. Seeing that, they start asking the questions. The police chief asks, “What were the people doing on the bus?” The monkey shakes his head in a condemning manner and starts dancing around; meaning the people were dancing and having fun. The chief asks, “Yeah, but what else were they doing?”. The monkey uses his hand and takes it to his mouth as if holding a bottle. The chief says, “Oh! They were drinking, huh??!” The chief continues, “Okay, were they doing anything else?” The monkey nods his head and moves his mouth back and forth, meaning they were talking. The chief loses his patience, “If they were having such a great time, who was driving the stupid bus then?” The monkey cheerfully swings his arms to the sides as if grabbing a wheel.
