Montana became the 41st state on November 8, 1889, so come along with Tidbits as we visit Montana!

MONTANA WEATHER• The town of Browning, Montana near Glacier Park

holds the national record for the greatest drop in temperature in 24 hours, for a 100 degree drop on January 23, 1916. It went from 44° to -56°F (7°C to -49°C)

• On January 11, 1980, when Great Falls set a new national weather record for quickest temperature increase in the shortest time, it took just seven minutes to go from -32° to 15°F (-35°C to -15°C).

• Montana’s record low is -70°F (-57°C) and the record high is 117°F (47°F), for a temperature range of 187 degrees. No state has a temperature ranger greater than that.

• Cooke City near Yellowstone National Park holds the state record for greatest snowfall in a single season, with 418 inches (10.6 m) for the winter of 1977-78. However, the town of Summit near Glacier National Park holds the record for greatest snowfall in 24 hours;

A Sunday school teacher was teaching the Ten Commandments to her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "Honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a com-mandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

One little boy shouted, "Thou shall not kill"

John and his wife were celebrating fifty years of marriage, but John was in the corner weep-ing. His friend came over and asked him what was the matter. John said, "When my wife and I found out we were pregnant, her father who was a Judge said, "You better marry my daughter or I'll put you in prison for fifty years... I just realized I would have been a free man today."

Hassle-Free Holiday Cooking

I’ve learned the hard way that the secret to a hassle-free holiday cook-ing is to plan ahead. For large hol-iday meals, the freezer is definitely your friend. Almost everything from appetizers and side dishes to desserts can be prepared and frozen ahead of time. Planning ahead for the holidays also saves money, because you can buy your holiday menu items as they go on sale, prepare them and freeze them.

Recently, I spent two hours mak-ing pie crusts and baking pies for Thanksgiving. I know that ready-to-bake pie crusts and pre-made pies are readily available at most gro-cery stores, but during the holidays, I love everything to be homemade. I’ve found that by using my food processor, I can make a flaky pie crust that takes only a few minutes to process and can be frozen until needed. Holiday favorites like apple, pecan, sweet potato and pumpkin pie actually taste better when made ahead of time, and they freeze beautifully.

After baking, allow the pies to cool on a rack for five to six hours. Wrap each pie in a single layer of plastic wrap and two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place them in your freezer. You can stack the single crust pies, if necessary. Allow the pies to thaw out at room temperature at least eight hours before you plan to serve them.

These recipes for Quick and Easy Pie Crusts and Fudgy Pecan Pie are delicious ways to plan ahead for the holidays!

QUICK & EASY PIE CRUSTS(Makes two 9-inch pies)

3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1½ cups butter-flavored shorten-

ing sticks, chilled and cut into cubes 1/4 cup ice-cold water, plus 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 egg

1. In the bowl of a food processor, blend the flour and salt. Add short-ening, a few cubes at a time, pulsing 3 or 4 times to combine after each addition. In a small bowl, combine water, vinegar and egg. Slowly add the water mixture to the flour mixture, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing 2 or 3

times after each addition until some of the dough forms into a ball.

2. Scrape the dough out on to a lightly floured cutting board. You should be able to gently press any remaining pieces of the dough into a ball. Handle the dough as little as pos-sible or it will become tough. Divide dough into two equal parts. Gently flatten into round disk shapes and wrap them in plastic wrap.

3. If using the dough immediately, chill at least 30 minutes in the refrig-erator. Chilling allows the dough to relax, become more elastic, absorb any remaining liquids, and will ensure that the crust will be flaky.

To freeze: Wrap dough in plastic wrap and then in two layers of alu-minum foil. When ready to use, thaw dough completely in the refrigerator before rolling out on a lightly floured surface.

FUDGY PECAN PIEThis pie is the best of both worlds:

The center is similar to a pecan brownie, and the filling and the flaky

crust is like a wonderful pecan pie. You may want to double the recipe and freeze one for the holidays. 3 eggs 3 tablespoons butter, softened 1¼ cups light corn syrup 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup baking cocoa, sifted 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup chopped pecans 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell Whipped cream, optional

1. Heat oven to 350 F. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and butter together for 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn syrup, sugar and cocoa, and beat for 2 minutes. Add flour and salt, and mix until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and the nuts.

3. Pour mixture into the pie shell. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until set, except for a quarter-size circle in the center. Cool completely. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

MONTANA POPULATION: SPARSE• When Hillary Clinton visited the state in 1993, she

described it as “hyper-rural.” Nationwide, about 25% of the population lives in rural areas, but in Montana, 48% do.

• The average population density across the state is 6.2 people per square mile. The only states more sparsely settled than that are Alaska and Wyoming. The national average is 75 people per square mile,

and New York City has a density of 26,402 per square mile.

• Montana’s least populated counties, Petroleum and Garfield, have only 0.3 people per square mile. The county seat of Garfield County is Jordan, known as the “lonesomest town in the world” because it’s the most isolated county seat in the contiguous U.S. The nearest airport is 175 miles (281 km) away, and it’s 115 miles (185 km) to the nearest railroad depot.

• About 80% of Montana communities have a population of 3,000 or fewer, and there are only

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your column re-sponding to the reader whose cats will not use the litter box. I have three cats and two litter boxes, and they’re doing just fine. Here’s what I use: I put a litter called “Feline Pine” in the boxes. It comes in pellets, which don’t weigh much, and you don’t have to use much, just cover the bottom of the pan. When the cats pee, the pellets turn into something like sawdust.

Also, if the reader scoops the boxes every day, or even twice a day, no one will even know he has cats! Trust me! -- Jean H., via email

Why Cats Won’t Use Litter BoxBy Sam Mazzotta

DEAR JEAN: Thanks for the tip! Trying a com-pletely different type of cat litter can help in the case of litter box avoidance. Some cats are turned off by scented litter, while others have an aversion to a lit-ter’s texture. And of course, diligent litter box cleaning

makes every one in the household -- humans and cats -- much happier.

As I said in the previous article, owners whose cats are avoiding the box have to experiment a bit to find a solution. Using boxes with lids, or boxes without lids; replacing heavily soiled carpet and backing and treating with a “keep away” spray; increasing the number of litter boxes available; and observing the cats’ behavior for potential conflict or health issues.

Readers, if you have more suggestions for owners dealing with this problem, send them my way at [email protected].

Q: I have a “Happy Face” mug from the 1970s. Is it worth keeping? -- Stephanie, Englewood, Colorado

A: The little happy face on a bright yellow circle has become totally synonymous with the 1970s. The smiley face was first introduced as a morale-building button by a Massachusetts insurance company. It was the right product at the right time and soon was seen everywhere. The image was used on neckties, coffee mugs, toys and fabric prints. Typical values for smiley face items include a deck of playing cards, $10; coast-ers, set of four, $8; cookie jar, $50-$100; electric wall clock, $20; and ceramic mug made by McCoy, $25.

A good reference for items from this era is “The Col-lectible ‘70s: A Price Guide to the Polyester Decade” by Michael Jay Goldberg.

Q: I received a Breitling Navitimer wristwatch from my dad when I graduated from college in 1968. When I took it to be cleaned, the watchman told me it was quite valuable. My big question is how valuable. It is the model 606, with three registers and in a stainless-steel case. - Rob, Camden, Ohio

A: I found your watch referenced in “100 Years of Vintage Watches: A Collector’s Identification & Price Guide” by Dean Judy and published by Krause Books. According to Judy, a watchmaker/jeweler and expert, your watch is valued in the $1,000 to $1,800 range. Incidentally, the watch was sold as the “Of-ficial Timepiece of the Aircraft Owners’ and Pilots’ Association.”

• • •Q: I have a plastic thimble with “Sew It Up for Nixon

& Lodge: Experience Counts.” What is it worth? -- Sue, Davenport, Iowa

A: Your thimble is from the 1960 campaign and worth about $10, according to Dr. Enoch L. Nappen, a political science professor at New Jersey’s Mon-mouth University and an expert of political campaign materials.

• • •Q: I have inherited a set of sterling flatware in the

Hamilton Court pattern by Reed & Barton. When was it introduced, and is Reed and Barton an important company? -- Cynthia, Fort Wayne, Indiana

A: Reed & Barton was established in 1840 and eventually introduced more than 100 silver patterns. Your pattern is from 1964.

Smiley Face


DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a CT scan due to broken ribs from a very recent fall. The scan

revealed a large teratoma near my heart. I am 69 and was previously unaware of this formation. No suggestion has been given to me regard-ing further investigation or treatment of the teratoma. I am assuming it may have been present at birth and does not cause any problem. But now I am wondering if it should be monitored. Can a teratoma grow or migrate in the body? Any information on teratoma will be appreci-ated. -- S.S.

ANSWER: A teratoma is a type of tumor of germ cells -- the cells that become eggs or sperm. They can occur within the testis or ovary, but also can occur outside the gonads. When they do, they usually are found in the midline of the body. A frequent place is the anterior superior mediastinum, in between the lungs and below the breastbone. Teratomas usually are benign tumors, but some types can act like cancers.

Your tumor is unlikely to have been there since birth. Nobody knows whether the germ cell that became a teratoma properly went into the gonads during development, or whether the cell left the gonad and then became a tumor. It is clear, however, that men with teratoma outside the gonads are at higher risk for developing testicular cancer later on.

Teratomas, being derived from germ cells, are capable of creating any tissue. Teeth and hair are sometimes found inside teratomas.

I am very surprised you haven’t been recommended for surgical removal. Surgery is usually successful at curing teratoma. They cer-tainly can grow, and occasionally become very large. I would certainly recommend seeing an oncologist (cancer specialist). Thoracic (chest)

surgeons operate on this area. It may be that the position is difficult, but a surgeon should still evaluate you, in my opinion.

• • •DEAR DR. ROACH: How is it that, at age 67, I’d never heard

about the abomination called scabies? Last year, I was rubbing cream onto my aged mother’s rash, and now I have this disgusting infestation on my body! Why haven’t people been advised of this scourge! -- Anon.

ANSWER: Scabies, sometimes just called, “the itch,” is caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei, and is very common, with an es-timated 300 million people infected worldwide. It is transmitted person-to-person by direct contact.

The major symptom of scabies is itching, often very severe and usually much worse at night. Itching begins about six weeks after the first infection, sooner if you have been infected before.

Often, the hardest part is figuring out the diagnosis, because a lot of people don’t know about this condition. When the rash is classic in distribution (belt line, under the arms, wrists, genitals and especially in the finger web spaces), most regular doctors and any dermatologist can figure it out.

Permethrin 5 percent cream (Elimite and others) over the entire body for eight to 14 hours is the standard treatment. Many physi-cians recommend a second treatment in one to two weeks. There is an oral medication as well. Clothing and bedding need to be disinfected, too.

word is never thrown away.” -- Arthur Helps

seven cities in the state with populations of over 10,000. The population of the entire state is just over one million.

MONTANA GOLD• When six prospectors dipped their gold pans in

Alder Creek in 1863, leading to one of history’s richest placer gold discoveries, they were hoping to find just enough gold to pay for their tobacco. Instead the $10 million worth of gold taken out of Alder Creek, which runs through Virginia City and Nevada City, would be worth about $2.5 billion today.

• Today Montana ranks 5th in production of gold, behind Nevada, California, Alaska, and South Dakota. The Montana state motto “Oro y Plata” is Latin for “gold and silver” and the state seal displays a pick, plow, and shovel.

• When a hotel was built in the state capital of Helena, enough gold was recovered from the excavation of the basement to pay for the construction of the entire building.

• At a nearby gulch, miners pulled 700 pounds (317

kg) of gold from a two acre plot in a single day.• In the 1880s, Helena had more millionaires per

capita than any other city in the nation, with 50.MONTANA FUN

• The town of Drummond, Montana sponsors the annual Flapjack Race, where rules dictate that you must build a fire and cook an edible pancake, all while keeping your untied mule next to you at all times.

• Bearcreek’s 50 residents hold Pig Races each summer. Pigs are tended by “sowboys.”

• Missoula hosts the annual “Punkin’ Chuckin’ Contest” to see who can build a catapult to throw a pumpkin the farthest without using motors or explosives. The current record is nearly 4,000 feet (1,219 m).

• Reed Point’s answer to Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls is the annual Running of the Sheep, including the Sheep Roundup, the Sheep Beauty Contest, and sky-diving (plastic) sheep.

QUIZ: PASTA• In 1920, so the story goes, an Italian man named de

Lelio was concerned because his pregnant wife had lost her appetite. He owned a restaurant in Rome, so he concocted a dish of egg noodles covered with a rich delicious sauce to tempt his wife’s appetite. History does not record whether or not she liked it, but the patrons of his restaurant did. He called the dish after himself and began to serve it regularly.

• Movie stars Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were on their honeymoon in Rome and stopped in his restaurant for dinner nearly every night. They enjoyed his noodle dish so much that they presented him with a gold-plated fork and spoon with which to stir his famous sauce.

• Within a year the recipe was featured in a cookbook produced by the famous Rector’s Restaurant in New York, which helped popularize the dish in America. Hollywood movie stars continued to eat at di Lelio restaurant in Rome, and they insisted that their favorite chefs back home try their hand at the recipe as well.

• Today the noodle dish, with a sauce made from butter, cream and Parmesan cheese, is popular across the U.S. The restaurant started by di Lelio is still in business. What was his first name, now attached to his famous pasta recipe?

Answer: Alfredo, who named Fettuccine Alfredo.

• It was beloved British crime novelist Agatha Christie who made the following sage observation: “It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridicu-lous that you realize just how much you love them.”

• If you’ve ever yelled out a warning in panic -- “Stop!,” “Run!,” “Don’t!” -- you’ve used a monepic sentence, one that is complete with just a single word. Of course, at the time you probably weren’t concerned about the grammati-cal nature of your utterance.

• When in New Jersey, you’d best mind your manners at the table. In that state, it’s illegal to slurp your soup.

• If you’re a sky-watcher, you may already know that the center star of the constellation Orion’s sword isn’t actually a star; it’s a nebula -- the only one visible from Earth with the naked eye. In fact, the Orion Nebula is so large that if the distance between the Earth and the sun were 1 inch, the relative size of the nebula would be 12 miles.

• If you were to create a rope out of one full head of human hair, that rope would be able to support 12 tons.

• It’s a well-worn trope that men refuse to stop and ask for directions when they’re lost. That point of view might seem to be supported by the results of a survey conducted by the American Automobile Association, which found that 34 percent of male drivers admit to stopping to ask for directions. However, the same survey found that only 37 percent of women did the same.

• By the time he was 5 years old, 19th-century French composer Camille Saint-Saens was already composing waltzes.

• On Nov. 20, 1923, the U.S. Patent Office grants Patent No. 1,475,074 to inventor and newspaperman Garrett Morgan for his three-position traffic signal. By having a third position besides just “Stop” and “Go,” it better regulated crossing vehicles.

• On Nov. 21, 1916, the Britannic, sister ship to the Titanic,
