DREAMS FROM DRAKE
SpreadsLove&Support
BY SUZIE WELLS
Founded in 2013 in memory of four-year-old Drake
Ross Pettit of Spencerport, Dreams from Drake is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing grief support for children and teens who have lost a sibling or parent. Inspired by Drake’s generous spirit and his motto, “Sharing is caring,” this volunteer-run organization offers a variety of programs and services to help young individuals navigate their loss while fostering a sense of community and healing.
Drake Ross Pettit was born on June 1, 2008, and his short but impactful life was filled with joy, playfulness, and an innate desire to share. He had a special love for pirates, particularly the show Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so for his fourth birthday, he celebrated with a pirate-themed party, complete with treasure hunts, planks, pirate face decorations, and a candy-filled piñata for everyone to share, all reinforcing his love for sharing and making others happy.
To honor Drake’s contagious sharing spirit, the Pettit family created Dreams from Drake to offer hope and healing to children facing the unimaginable loss of a loved one. For the Pettit family, Dreams from Drake is more than an organization—it is a way to keep Drake’s memory alive while bringing light into the lives of grieving children.
“Griefisawful,butprograms likethishelpyoufocuson somethingpositive.Everyone hastofindtheirownway,but thereisawaytostillhavejoy inyourlovedone’smemory.”
JAIME PETTIT, DRAKE’S MOTHER AND CO FOUNDER
THE PETTIT FAMILY
Dreams from Drake provides an array of grief support services, all offered free of charge:
Camp Heartstrings/Camp Dreams Bereavement Camp: County’s first bereavement camp for children and teens in Monroe County, this camp was founded in 2015 in partnership with Visiting Nurse Services and Pittsford Youth Service. e three-day camp, facilitated by professional grief counselors, promotes understanding, acceptance, and healing through activities such as cra s, yoga, music, pet therapy, games, and summer fun.
Healing Circles of Hope: A monthly support group centered around social activities, giving grieving children and teens a chance to share memories and find comfort in a supportive, active environment.
Birthday Bonus: A program that provides birthday gi s to children in memory of their lost loved one, offering them a tangible reminder that they are cared for and remembered.
Make-a-Meal: A service providing grieving families with meals or grocery gi cards, ensuring they have one less worry as they navigate their loss.
e Next Page Program: A resource that offers families literature on grief, providing valuable guidance through the healing process.
Caring Card Club: Cards sent to grieving children and families, reminding them that they are never alone in their journey.
Let It All Out Club: e Pettit family finds athletics, music, and art to be quite therapeutic through their grieving process, and they hope to share such opportunities with other families.
Happy Hearts for the Holidays: Dreams from Drake partners with St. Peter’s Kitchen each December to distribute toys, blankets, books, and children’s coats Rochester-based families can ‘shop’ for at their holiday shop. Dreams from Drake is the largest private donor to St. Peter’s holiday gi program. Jamie says, “Since we could no longer give Drake gi s, we give to others on his behalf, so he’s still part of Christmas and holiday shopping.” Her five other children help organize the toys and make drop-offs, o en involving their sports teams and shopping as a group. e Pettits, DFD board members, and local businesses serve as collection sites, and the program offers some solace during an otherwise painful season for those who’ve lost loved ones.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be le on the counter for several days to ripen.
* “To keep those ice crystals from forming on the top of your quart of ice cream, just cut a square of plastic wrap and push it down onto the surface of the ice cream each time you scoop a bowlful out. It peels off easily when you’re ready for another helping, but there’s no ice! Works for me!” -- T.D. in Nebraska

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KEEP PETS SAFE FROM COLD WEATHER INJURY
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I hope you will warn your readers to take care of their dogs’ paws during the winter. Recently, a er a big snowstorm, I took my toy poodle, “Blake,” out for his morning walk. Five feet from the door, he let out a yelp and started limping with his right front paw li ed. A big piece of rock salt had embedded itself in one of the pads! I took him back inside to clean the wound. Fortunately, it wasn’t too bad, but I had to carry him outside for the rest of the week to do his business until it healed. -- Tired Momma in Buffalo, New York
DEAR TIRED: Many owners are aware that ice and snow can cause frostbite injury to their dogs, but some don’t realize that rock salt and other deicers are also dangerous. In addition to potentially cutting their paws, deicing mixtures that have low or no salt use chemicals that can poison pets. Before venturing out in cold weather -- even when it’s above freezing -- dogs of all sizes should have on booties and a warm vest (one that is water-resistant if it’s snowing or raining). I know some owners will scoff and say that dogs survived thousands of years without booties. But they didn’t have to contend with salt-strewn sidewalks! A frostbitten paw is very painful, as well, and could mean your dog is sidelined indoors for several days as the injury heals. Getting too cold while outside -- especially for small dogs -- can cause hypothermia or reduce their resistance to illness. So remember, if it feels cold to you, it feels cold to them. Take heed and protect your dog from cold weather.

PULLING BABY TEETH BEFORE THEY FALL OUT
While it’s generally better to let a baby tooth fall out on its own, baby teeth extractions are a common dental treatment that may be needed for several reasons. Primary teeth, often referred to as baby teeth, have more delicate enamel, making them more sensitive and prone to cavities than adult teeth. When a primary tooth develops a cavity, it is often best to remove it and allow the healthy adult tooth to emerge. Drilling and filling a baby tooth can give kids dental anxiety and isn’t always necessary, so early cavities are a common reason for pulling baby teeth. It can also make more sense to pull a damaged or injured baby tooth than to restore it.
Prevent and protect – two key words crucial for success in our quest
to achieving the healthiest oral profiles possible for patients of all ages. For compassionate dental care, including preventive care, complete restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and regular cleanings, our primary goal at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL is to treat our patients with the best, most up-to-date, gentle dentistry possible. Office hours are by appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre. Please call us at 585.343.4246
P.S. Dentists may extract baby teeth to prevent crowding or over-retained baby teeth (loose teeth that become re-tightened in the gums) or to prepare a child for braces at the request of an orthodontist.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DMSO Isn’t Recommended Based On Potential Harm
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m interested in consuming dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). I’ve read that it will destroy the root of cancer and hasten the healing of broken bones, ligaments and strained muscles. My question is whether it is OK to consume the suggested amount of DMSO? My aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical valve three years ago. After 12 months of follow-up exams, I was informed that the valve had sealed perfectly and was told to enjoy life. -- W.H.
ANSWER: DMSO is indicated by the Food and Drug Administration for the symptomatic relief of interstitial cystitis, a chronic and painful bladder condition. It is instilled directly in the bladder and is sometimes used for other urinary conditions, although there is no evidence of its usefulness.
DMSO is often used topically for musculoskeletal injuries, and some people do note pain relief. Numerous studies on rheumatological conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis) failed to show a benefit, although a study from Germany in 1995 showed that DMSO gel with a 25% concentration reduced pain when applied to joints. Other studies were unable to confirm this. For cancer, there are no convincing studies that show benefit, and some studies have shown an increase in breast cancer cell growth with DMSO. Based on studies showing minimal benefit and potential harm, I don’t recommend the use of DMSO. What’s more important is that the studies have been done with medical-grade DMSO, which is only available with a prescription. When you buy DMSO at a hardware store, you are getting industrial-grade DMSO, which is potentially contaminated with industrial toxins and isn’t intended for human use.
In addition, DMSO is very good at bringing other substances with it into the skin. This is useful as a drug-delivery system but dangerous when the DMSO you use is contaminated with chemicals or if you get those chemicals on your skin. While I can find DMSO for sale that companies purport to be very pure, you are relying on the company that may or may not have purified it, as it isn’t independently tested. However, I do not think that the topical use of DMSO is likely to be a danger to your prosthetic heart valve.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, at an event sponsored by our community, an expert on the gut microbiome gave a lecture on how to keep it in balance. While the lecture was generally informative and useful, at one point, he stated that vaccines were detrimental to the microbiome. Is there any evidence (other than anecdotal) that supports such an opinion? -- W.G.
ANSWER: The huge number of bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract is referred to as the microbiome, and our microbiome can have effects on many aspects of our functioning. How much of an effect it has is debated. COVID-19 infections were known to have a marked detrimental effect on the microbiome, but the effect of vaccination on the microbiome was not well-studied until quite recently. A 2024 study from the University of Cambridge found that the microbiome was only minimally affected by vaccination. Based on this recent study, I disagree with your community speaker and conclude that if you’re concerned about your microbiome, you’d be much better off getting vaccinated and taking other steps to prevent infection.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

IMPRESS FELLOW FANS WITH SMOKED BRISKET FOR THE BIG GAME
Sports is often credited with bringing people together. That tendency to connect people from different walks of life is even more noticeable when sports is combined with food. Food and sports go hand in hand. Food is never too far away when getting together with fellow fans. That’s true if fans are hosting a game watch at home or if they’re tailgating in a stadium parking lot. Certain styles of food are synonymous with sports, and that includes grilled and smoked items. Smoking has become particularly popular among sports fans in recent years, and many modern smokers are now portable enough that they can be taken on the road when following a favorite team.
Gameday can be the perfect time to master the art of smoking. Smoking can take a long time, which makes it an ideal option for day-long tailgates or game watch parties. Fans who have volunteered for cooking duties this season can impress guests with their smoking skills by following this recipe for “Texas-Style Beef Brisket” from “The Essential Kamado Grill Cookbook” (Rockridge Press) by Will Budiaman.
Texas-Style Beef Brisket
Serves 6 to 8
1 8- to 10-lb. beef brisket
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Dry-brining time: Overnight
Prep time: 15 to 30 minutes
Cook time: 7 hours, 30 minutes to 9 hours, 30 minutes; plus 1 to 2 hours to rest Grill temperature: 250 F to 275 F
Smoking wood: Oak or pecan
1. Trim off any hard fat from the brisket and square off the edges. Trim the fat cap down to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle evenly on all sides with the salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight.
2. Prepare the grill for smoking at 250 F to 275 F.
3. Place the brisket fat-side up on the grate over the drip pan. Close the lid. If desired, wrap in aluminum foil after 5 to 6 hours or once the bark (crust) is dark brown.
4. Turn over the brisket, close the lid, and continue cooking for 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours, 30 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 200 F.
5. Rest the brisket, wrapped in foil, for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pour over as much of the drippings from the pan as you like, and serve.
Cooking tip: The grain in each part of the brisket - it’s made up of two different muscles, known as the flat and the point - runs in two different directions. Roughly speaking, the grain in the point runs perpendicular to the grain in the flat, so you’ll want to slice the two sections separately.
Chocolate has long been tied to Valentine’s Day gifting. Whether one believes that chocolate symbolizes heightened status, acts as an aphrodisiac or is just a special treat, chocolates will likely always be associated with the day of love.

Thank You
School closed, what’s important?
Thank you to the person or persons who picked up our breakfast tab mid-December at Golden Boys Webster. We were not able to find out who you are or where you were sitting and don't know much about you. What we do know is that you are thoughtful, kind and generous. My husband is a veteran and often wears his hat. If that was the reason for your kind gesture, thank you. it was much appreciated. Hope you see this 'vibe' and know we will pay it forward! A veteran and his wife
Thank you Dr Ken and Lorie
Of Lima Veterinary Center! My daughter and I picked up an injured red tail hawk this evening and stopped there hoping for some advice on what to do with it or who to call. Instead, even though they had literally been in their car ready to leave for the night, we were brought right in and got to watch/help as they expertly examined the hawk and set him up for the night! Turns out Dr. Ken works with Wild Wings, Inc, so we lucked out! He was the exact right person to help the poor hawk! We are so very lucky to have people right here in our community who can and will drop everything to help our injured wildlife! Fingers crossed the hawk is just stunned and will be feeling better tomorrow.
[Recently], two schools were closed due to weather and travel conditions, and regents exams canceled. But low and behold, [local school] held hockey practice that day, and also had a game that night against [local school], that was also closed because of poor travel and weather. A travel advisory was issued all day. When school is closed all activities should cease. Travel time was 50 minutes to the rink. Why put kids in danger? If the school allows a sporting event for a total of 4 hours when school is closed, they could have given the regents exams that night, not to upset another day of lost classes. Do sports count more than classroom work? It seems that every year there are fewer and fewer school days. Why not just go to remote learning, get rid of our school taxes, and if anyone wants sports, start private schools?
Don't crowd the plow
Why do people choose to crowd the plows? They can only go so fast down the road, and for goodness' sake, they're clearing the roads so that you can drive safely to wherever you need to go so darned fast. When it snows, slow down, take a breath, pay attention to the world around you, and we'll all get where we need to go safely.

NOTABLE FIGURES TO CELEBRATE THIS BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Viola Davis Desmond: Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1914, Viola Davis Desmond took a stand for African Canadians in 1946 when she refused to sit in the balcony at the Roseland Theatre in New Glasgow, a section designated for Blacks. Desmond was forcibly removed and arrested and ultimately fined and sentenced to 30 days in jail. She took her case all the way to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, which upheld the verdict. Desmond passed away in 1965, but in 2010 the province of Nova Scotia issued an official apology and pardoned her.
