TIDBITS® SEARCHES THE FORESTS FOR
PINE TREESby Patricia L. Cook
Chances are good that if you live in Canada or the United States, you can look out your win-dow and spot a pine tree or two. Pine trees are numerous in variety and land coverage in North America.• There are about 115 species of pine trees
worldwide. Pines are coniferous evergreens – meaning they produce cones and stay green all year. The Siberian Dwarf Pine and Potosi Pinyon are the shortest pine trees, and the Sugar Pine is the tallest.
• Did you know that lodgepole pines are so-named because Native Americans used the poles to hold up their tepees? Makes sense, doesn’t it? The lodgepole pine is the provincial tree of Alberta.
• The small, almost golf-ball-size cones of lodgepole pines are tan when fresh and turn gray as they age. Forest fires cause these serotinous cones to open and release their seeds. So, even though a fire will kill the trees, new ones grow as a result of the fires. The fires in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 killed a huge number of lodgepole pines, since about 80 percent of the park’s trees are this species. Now, 22 years later, the park is in great shape. In the aftermath of the fires, where lodgepole pines were burned, seed densities were determined to be a whopping 50,000 to 1,000,000 per acre!

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT
NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond
Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in
1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.
• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.
• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

PINE TREES (continued):• The state tree of Montana is the ponderosa
pine. Remember “Bonanza,” the long-running television series that gave viewers a feel of the American West? The Cartwright family lived on the Ponderosa Ranch. “Bonanza” was the first television series filmed outdoors in color. The 430 episodes from September 12, 1959 to January 16, 1973 were filmed in locations in Arizona, Nevada and California.
• Nevada’s State Tree is the Great Basin bristlecone pine. Bristlecone pines do not look like ordinary pine trees seen in most forests. There are three members of the bristlecone group of pines; the Rocky Mountain bristlecone, the Great Basin bristlecone and the Sierra Foxtail pine. The oldest, some of which are 5,000 years old, are in the White Mountains of eastern California. These trees start out with green, smooth bark, but as they age, the bark becomes scaly and their shapes are very twisted. Bristlecone pine needles remain on the trees for 12 to 20 years. When the trees are about 20, they begin producing small hard, reddish-brown cones.
• The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California is located at an elevation of 10,000 to 11,000 feet (3,048 to 3,353 meters). These trees are recognized as the oldest known continuously standing trees on earth! A walk through this forest is almost surreal. The oldest tree, Methuselah (taken from the oldest man recorded in the Bible), is unmarked in the forest to protect it from a curious and adoring public.

PINE TREES (continued):• One pine species sought by lumbermen is
the western white pine. Highly prized for producing top quality lumber, large native stands of this species in northern Idaho provided the incentive for the Potlach Lumber Company to build the world’s largest mill (in 1906), the entire town of Potlach, Idaho, and the Washington, Idaho and Montana Railway. The railway was nicknamed the “White Pine Route.”
• While the western white pine is the state tree of Idaho, the “Pine Tree State” is Maine. Approximately 90 percent of Maine is covered with trees, and even though there are many varieties of trees, the eastern white pine is one of the most prevalent species. Early settlers used the tall pines in shipbuilding.
• The eastern white pine is also the state tree of Michigan and the provincial tree of Ontario. Eastern white pines generally grow in the Great Lake States, northeast U.S., Appalachian Mountains and southern Canada. Both eastern and western white pines grow tall and straight and have needles that grow in bundles of five. In fact, the eastern white pine is the only conifer east of the Rocky Mountains that has five needles in a bundle. Western white pines grow in the mountains of the western U.S. and Canada and even at sea level in some areas in Washington and Oregon.
• White, yellow and, yes, there are red pines as well. The red pine is the state tree of Minnesota. Commonly called the Norway pine, even though it didn’t originate in Norway, the red pine has a reddish-colored bark from whence it gets its name. A lot of telephone poles are made from red pines.

Whether you inherit your grandmother’s old oak bedroom set or find antique pine doors, tables or chairs, refinishing furniture is a great way to recycle. With high quality furniture there is no reason not to preserve and update items for generations to come.
Seek out environmentally friendly stains and preservatives for your refinishing projects.
Keep in mind that traditional, oil-based varnishes and chemicals must be disposed of properly. Watch for hazardous waste clean-up days in your area. This is also a great time to go through your household inventory of chemical products and dispose of other unneeded hazardous chemicals you have.

The Bonanza television series was introduced weekly with a burning map showing the Ponderosa and the family riding horses into the picture—except for the 12th and 13th seasons, when it was changed. After the death of Dan Blocker (Hoss) following the 13th season, the burning map returned for the final 14th season. The family included brothers Hoss and Joe, (Michael Landon) and Pa (Lorne Green). The eldest son, Adam (Pernell Roberts), was in the first six seasons.

Three animals were having an argument in the forest over who was best. The hawk said he was best because of his great vision and ability to fly. The lion claimed superiority because of his speed and strength. The skunk insisted that his unique smell could frighten any human or animal. A grizzly bear came along and swallowed them all: hawk, lion, and stinker!
The boreal forest is the earth’s northern forested area with long winters and short summers. Boreal forest areas cover broad bands of North America and Eurasia. These areas are dominated by conifers, such as pine trees. Canada’s boreal ecosystem covers 58 percent of the country.

SOME “PINEY” PLACESWith pine trees of all varieties so prevalent across North America, it’s no surprise that there are many places with pine in the name. • Pine Mountain Observatory sits at 6,300 feet
(1920 m) above sea level atop Pine Mountain near Bend, Oregon. The observatory, owned by the University of Oregon, has three massive telescopes. This makes it possible for amazing stargazing, with the lens on the largest telescope measuring 32 inches (81 cm) across.
• Arizona has the real Grand Canyon, but Pine Creek Gorge near Wellsboro is called the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. It is on the Allegheny Plateau, a part of the Appalachian Mountains. The Pine Creek Rail Trail hugs Pine Creek through the gorge, offering views of waterfalls, dramatic rock outcroppings and yes, pine trees! This 62-mile (100-km) trail from Ansonia south to Jersey Shore receives rave reviews as one of the best rail trails in the northeast for bicycling.
• Pineville, Louisiana, is an area filled with pine trees. Located at the geographic center of the state, it is the home of the Old Town Hall Museum, the only museum in the state dedicated to municipal government. Built in 1931, it was once home to the fire station, city court, jail, library, city offices and more.
• Three Idaho towns are named after pine trees: Pinehurst, Pine and Yellow Pine. There are also towns in Louisiana and Alabama named Yellow Pine.
• The 21st Annual Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest and Festival will be held in Yellow Pine, Idaho, August 6-8, 2010. The small mountain town, population 40, hosts one of the best harmonica festivals in the world.
When You Can't Afford Summer Camp
In many families that are having to cut back on expenses, summer camp for the kids is often one of the things to be crossed off the list. But it's still possible to give kids a summer camp experience at little or no cost. Look into YMCA camps or those run by other nonprofit organizations.With local for-profit camps, ask about camping scholarships or volunteer opportunities. For example, if you volunteer to work in the kitchen or as a counselor or crafts teacher, perhaps your child's camp fees can be worked off.When paying for sleep-away camp is completely
out of the question, there are still ways you can give your child a camp experience.If you know other families in your situation, arrange with other parents to do group outings or set up a one-day "camp" at each of their homes. With five families working together, you can provide a week of camp experience with only one of those days at your house.Here are some ideas:• Camp out in tents in the back yard. Remember the S'mores, burgers, water balloons, flashlights (of course) and squirt guns.• Hike in a nearby state park (ask about ranger-guided walks and talks) for an afternoon. • Look to your networking group for a one-day theme camp. Members with various businesses can instruct the kids on computers, fashion, art or cooking.• Go on field trips to visit a farm (ask about the possibility of camping overnight or picking berries), hands-on museum or fire department. • Host a movie day with rented videos and lots of popcorn, or organize a scavenger hunt. • Spend an afternoon at a local swimming pool
or lake.• Have a crafts day. Search online for "summer camp crafts" for ideas. (Let the kids make their own camp T-shirts.) Check the local big-box hardware store for children's classes on building things like birdhouses.• If you're near a college or university that gives degrees in early childhood education, inquire about any students who need "hands-on" hours for extra credit, or who want to design and run a summer camp.By arranging a week of camp with a few other families, your costs will be low and your kids will still be able to experience many things they would have at a sleep-away camp.

Whether you inherit your grandmother’s old oak bedroom set or find antique pine doors, tables or chairs, refinishing furniture is a great way to recycle. With high quality furniture there is no reason not to preserve and update items for generations to come.
Seek out environmentally friendly stains and preservatives for your refinishing projects.
Keep in mind that traditional, oil-based varnishes and chemicals must be disposed of properly. Watch for hazardous waste clean-up days in your area. This is also a great time to go through your household inventory of chemical products and dispose of other unneeded hazardous chemicals you have.

The Bonanza television series was introduced weekly with a burning map showing the Ponderosa and the family riding horses into the picture—except for the 12th and 13th seasons, when it was changed. After the death of Dan Blocker (Hoss) following the 13th season, the burning map returned for the final 14th season. The family included brothers Hoss and Joe, (Michael Landon) and Pa (Lorne Green). The eldest son, Adam (Pernell Roberts), was in the first six seasons.

Three animals were having an argument in the forest over who was best. The hawk said he was best because of his great vision and ability to fly. The lion claimed superiority because of his speed and strength. The skunk insisted that his unique smell could frighten any human or animal. A grizzly bear came along and swallowed them all: hawk, lion, and stinker!
The boreal forest is the earth’s northern forested area with long winters and short summers. Boreal forest areas cover broad bands of North America and Eurasia. These areas are dominated by conifers, such as pine trees. Canada’s boreal ecosystem covers 58 percent of the country.

• It was French writer and film director Marguerite Duras who made the following observation: "I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhood, and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met." • In Colorado, it is illegal to mutilate a rock in a state park. • Those who track radio statistics say that Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" is the most-requested song in the United States -- and this despite the fact that the song was never released as a single on this side of the Atlantic. • If you use Listerine to freshen your breath, you might be interested to know that its original formula is 26.9 percent alcohol by volume -- that comes out to 54-proof gargle.
• There are lots of sports fans out there, and a lot of sports to enjoy: football, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey ... olive oil wrestling? OK, maybe there aren't a lot of oiled wrestling events here in America, but in Turkey it's the national sport. Kirkpinar, as it's known there, has been popular since the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish town of Edirne has been hosting the annual tournament since 1361. • It was in Kitchener, Ontario, in 2006 that the world's largest smoothie was made. Over the course of 3 1/2 hours and using seven blenders, the folks there made a whopping 195 gallons of the fruity beverage.***Thought for the Day: "Infatuation is when you think that he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen and as athletic as Jimmy Connors. Love is when you realize he's as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford -- but you'll take him anyway." -- Judith Viorst
