Iraq rebuffs U.N. demand

IRAQ A week after it narrowly escaped an American military strike, Iraq signaled on Sunday in a series of defiant statements that it has little intention of cooperating with international arms inspectors and is still on a collision course with the United Stales. At a news conference in Baghdad, Iraq’s foreign m inister, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, rebuffed a U.N. demand for more documents on his country’s arms program, lie reiterated a year-old assertion that Baghdad had already produced over 2 mil­ lion pages of files and had no more docu­ ments to give U.N. inspectors. In a direct challenge to the United States and Britain, which have warned Iraq that only full coop­ eration would avert attack, the Iraqis have in effect said they w ill stop back only to Oct. 31, when they cut off all cooperation with arms inspectors. All the restrictions placed on monitors in the months preceding that final break — especially the inability to see certain crucial documents dealing with the history of prohibited weapons — remain in place.

When a lull in conversation comes over the Thanksgiving dinner table, stun your family and friends with a fun fact about... what else but Turkey!

What’s in the name? The scientific name for turkey is Meleagris gallopavo (mel-e-AY-gris gal-low-PAY-voe) from Latin gallus (meaning cock) and pavo (meaning chickenlike). Meleagris is the Roman name for guineafowl explaining the early confusion of the turkey with guineafowl.

Female turkeys are called hens, male turkeys are toms and baby turkeys are called poults.

One explanation of the origin of the nickname “turkey” is the wild turkey's call which sounds like “turk-turk-turk.” Another likely explanation is that in the 16th century, merchants trading along the seaboards of the Mediterranean were known as Turkes. They probably included the birds in their merchandise and the birds became known as turkey fowls.

Another theory is that Columbus thought not only that the New World was con­ nected to India, but also that turkeys were really peacocks. Thus he named the birds "Tuka" which is peacock in the Tamil language of India.

Taming the Tnikey The domestic turkey is descended from wild turkeys originally native to Southern Ontario, parts of the U.S. and Mexico. The turkey was tamed by the American Indian cul­ tures in Mexico and transported from Mexico to Europe by Spanish conquistadors early in the 16th century.

By 1524, the turkey had reached England, and by 1558, the turkey was popular at banquets in England and throughout Europe. When English settlers came to North America, they brought domesticated turkeys back with them. They used the turkeys as breeding stock with native wild turkeys.

Turkeys S Indians Fossil evidence shows that turkeys roamed the Americas 10 million years ago.

The American Indians hunted wild turkey for its sweet, juicy meat as early as 1000 AD. Turkey feathers were used to stabilize arrows and adorn ceremonial dress, and the spurs on the legs of wild tom turkeys were used as projec­ tiles on arrowheads. Tuesday, November 24, 1998 O bserver

The First Turkey Day The first formal Thanksgiving by Europeans in the Americas was in 1578 when the English navigator, Martin Frobisher, held a formal ceremony in Newfoundland to give thanks for surviving the long journey.

The pilgrims who settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621 celebrated their first harvest in the New World with wild turkey. The Loyalists spread this custom to Nova Scotia in the 1750s.

In 1879, the Canadian Parliament declared Nov. 6 a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years, the date changed. On Jan. 31, 1957, Parliament finally proclaimed that Canada’s Thanksgiving would be observed on the second Monday in October.

Legend has i t ... The Navajos tell of an enormous hen turkey that flew over their fields bringing them corn and teaching them how to cultivate their crops.

Benjamin Franklin was displeased when the bald eagle was chosen over his proposed "original native" turkey as a national symbol. He said the turkey was a more respectable bird and a true original native of America. How Turkey Became the Festive Bird In England, the harvest festival has been celebrated for many years. Legends says that Queen Elizabeth was sitting with the troops eating roast goose to cel­ ebrate the harvest festival when news was brought to her that the Spanish Armada had sunk on its way to attack England. The queen was so delighted that she ordered a second goose to celebrate the good news. Thus the goose became the choice bird at festival time in England. When the pilgrims came to the new world, they continued the tradition of celebrating the harvest festival but geese were not plentiful. Since there were lots of wild turkeys and they were easier to find, they roasted turkeys instead. x How did Turkey takeover Christmas dinner? In England, swans, peacocks and cranes were historically roasted for special occa- . y sions. Things may have changed because of Charles Dickens. Some say that, with “A 2> Christmas Carol,” he popularized the serving of turkey for Christmas dinner.

Where does that Turkey you’re eating actually come from? The world's largest producer of turkey eggs is Cuddy International Corporation in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada. One in four turkeys eaten is hatched from an egg from this hatchery.

Hybrid Turkeys Inc. of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada is one of only three primary turkey breeders in the world, and they have customers in more than 45 countries.

Most of the turkeys raised commercially are White Hollands which have all-white plumage. That’s a lot of leftovers! The Guinness Book of Records states that the greatest dressed weight recorded for a turkey is 39.09 kg (86 lbs), at the Dec. 12, 1989 "heaviest turkey" competition held in London, England.

Eva Sanchez knows full well the value of United Way agencies — as the recipient of services, a volunteer and now E v a a paid staff member. Raised in Seminole, Texas, Eva graduated from high S a n c h e z , school in 1981 and moved to Indiana with her husband in 1987. They divorced a year later, leaving Eva to raise three 1998 children as a single mom working two jobs in Elkhart and graduate of Goshen. Despite the sometimes difficult circumstances, Eva Notre Dame retained a lifelong dream to attend college and, in 1994, enrolled at Holy Cross College. At about the same time, she and a was introduced to the people and services at La Casa de believer Amistad, a United Way agency that provided food assistance to Eva and her children. Founded 25 years ago on the west in the side of South Bend, La Casa works primarily with the city’s United Way. Hispanic population, providing programs for youths and families such as English as a Second Language and

citizenship classes, counseling, legal aid, computer training, and health and translation services. Eva, • H U <111 I H IM after receiving assistance, decided to give

back to La Casa as a volunteer in the food

pantry. Meanwhile, her dreams of higher education flourished. She graduated from

Holy Cross and was admitted to Notre Dame in 1996. While attending the

University full time, she also served in an AmeriCorps position at La Casa de Amistad. By her senior year, Eva was

working in a paid position for the agency and at one point served as interim executive director. At age 35, Eva graduated magna cum laude from Notre Dame last spring with a bachelor’s degree in government and sociology. She’s now assistant director for community
