* On Dec. 14, 1909, workers place the last of the 3.2 million 10-pound bricks that pave the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Since then, most of that brick has been buried under asphalt, but 1 yard remains exposed at the start-finish line. Kissing those bricks after a successful race remains a tradition among Indy drivers.

NOW HERE’S A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
* Burned rice? No problem. While it’s still hot, carefully remove to a new pot any rice not browned or blackened. Then top it with a single slice of white bread. Allow it to sit for several minutes under a tightly fitted lid. The burned smell is absorbed by the bread, and the rice is fit to eat. -- M.U. in Michigan
* Plastic holiday tablecloths can be a festive addition to any family celebration. But what to do if you unpack yours and it’s wrinkled? Get those wrinkles out in a hurry with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer to a low setting, and gently run the warm air over the wrinkles. Smooth and set the table.
* Freshen rugs without the heavy perfume smell of store-bought brands; Simply sprinkle a little baking soda on your carpet and let it sit for about 10 minutes before vacuuming.
* Wrap the lint from your dryer in 6-inch strips of wax paper. Roll it up, twist both ends and you have a perfect firestarter.
* For light and unbelievably fluffy pancakes, try subbing the water in your recipe with club soda. Yummo. -- E.S. in Florida
* Add a few drops of water to votive cups before adding a candle. The wax will float on the water, and when the candle burns down, it won’t get stuck in the votive glass. -- O.J. in Wyoming

et’s Safety Is Paramount at Holiday Dinners
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last year, I caught my uncle and aunt feeding our King Charles Spaniel, Doogie, food from their plates a er anksgiving dinner and pouring wine into a dish for him. As you know, holiday feasts have rich, fatty foods with ingredients that are bad for dogs, like onion, garlic, avocado and chocolate. Fortunately, Doogie only su ered a bit of indigestion. is year, I added a list of rules to the anksgiving invitation, including: Do not feed the dog; do not leave plates where Doogie can reach them; do not give alcohol to the dog; do not let Doogie out of his kennel.
My uncle and aunt posted the list on Facebook and said the rules are the reason they will not come this year. ey’re trying to shame me for protecting my dog. Some of our other relatives commented on the post and said they might not come because of the rules, either. What would you do? -- Carole & Chuck in Marietta, Georgia
DEAR CAROLE & CHUCK: I’m no master of etiquette, but I can speak on this issue: e welfare of your pet comes rst.
Dogs will not turn down yummy food, especially if it’s bad for them. Dogs don’t know alcohol is bad for them. Many dogs don’t know how to handle the stress of a sudden crowd of strangers in the house. Dogs will react badly to inconsiderate handling. Dogs will take advantage of your distraction to reach abandoned plates and countertops laden with deliciousness.
Your rules about Doogie are reasonable. You can respond to the post calmly with your side of the story, and let the other relatives decide for themselves what to do. Best of luck.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.

The Park Theater
Cheers to the Park Theater in Avon for putting on such great shows - film and live performances. The latest performers were Chris Wilson and Brian Ayers, along with a terrific bass player, whose name I don't know, playing the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel. Their voices, harmonies and rendition of that popular duo was so well executed and fun to listen to, even the audience was spellbound. So nice to have such outstanding talent perform locally!
Atlanta Saviors
Thank you to all of the people who came to my aid when I fell and struck my head: the librarian who sat with me the whole time and called for help; the people who stopped and assisted; and, finally the emergency responders for their quick response. I cannot thank all of you enough for your caring and compassion. GB
Thank you!
Thank you so much to the two wonderful ladies who stopped their cars and the man walking his daughter’s dog who came to my rescue after I fell in my driveway on December 1st. They helped me into my house and stayed with me until my daughter arrived. They were so kind and thoughtful. May God bless them and may they and their families have a very happy holiday season.

Remember, there are only about 10 weeks we use the stadium a year. Probably 4 or 5 (or more) of those are during good weather. That leaves the stadium sitting there 40+ weeks a year. That means heating, cooling and maintaining it for all those weeks when it is not being used. Even if a rare concert or other event appears, you can see the costs involved. Now set that aside, the addition of a roof would also add another billion dollars to the cost. I am not sure how happy taxpayers in Bayshore Long Island would be, or politicians in Albany. There is also the “Dome” losing syndrome. Not too many Dome teams have won the BIG GAME. In fact at one time no Dome team had ever won the BIG GAME until two dome teams faced each other I think in 2013 or so?? Just a guess. I would submit that if you think about it seriously, the Bills made 4 straight Superbowls, mainly because they did not have a Dome. There is an obvious strategic advantage in not having a roof.
Theft Whoever stole all the quarters out of my car just at the beginning of the snow storm at a senior living facility, those quarters were there so I would always have my copays to pay for my medications. And you stole the only pair of gloves I had that I left in my car. Shame on you, I hope your parents are wondering where $30 in quarters and a pair of gloves came from. I have to let two of my meds go until mySS check now. Shame on you.
Parking problems
Please, to the people going in the senior apartments parking area lot, please some very old, from finding a parking spot. They then have to park way down which is such a long walk for those using walkers or canes. Be considerate and respectable. This lot is reserved for the Senior Apartments. There are signs. [local business] has plenty of parking across the street and right at the [local business] which many do not use. This is more problematic in winter for handicapped seniors. You are walking fine. Use the lot across the street from the [local business].

SENIOR NEWS
By Matilda Charles
Do You Feel Isolated?
Researchers must be worried about us. ere are hundreds of studies done around the world on the topic of isolated seniors and how it’s bad for our brain and physical health. While we can appreciate their concern, it would be nice if they could all agree on the facts they report.
A Norwegian university has released the results of a report on maintaining brain health and preventing cognitive decline. ey’ve concluded, a er reviewing 101 other studies, that social activity is important, along with physical exercise and interesting hobbies.
One study praised us for following the Covid rules and staying home and not having face-to-face social activity, saying we mentally weathered our isolation better than any other age group. Another study said that we didn’t do well, that we su ered from sleep disturbances, depression and anxiety.
Another study analyzing information from before and during the pandemic concluded that yes, there was physical and social isolation, but not digital isolation. In other words, we’ve been online communicating with others.
One serious study looked at 12 possible relationships (friends, neighbors, family and so on) and concluded that being socially isolated made one more susceptible to the common cold.
Yet another study said that it was when the Covid rules were li ed, when we could go to stores and back to our meetings, that our real stress started.
In the U.S., 27% of seniors over the age of 60 live alone, as opposed to several other countries where multiple generations live together. One thing researchers need to consider: Some seniors might like the peace and quiet of living alone, might like having control about who comes over and when, and might prefer the independence.
Still, if you sense you don’t get out enough, go. Take a walk. Volunteer to walk a dog at the shelter. Stroll the aisles at the library.
Or don’t. It really is up to you.

National Cocoa
December
Hot cocoa is typically made with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. However, some also call it hot chocolate, which causes a bit of confusion. Hot chocolate is made by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is made by fermenting, drying, roasting, and grinding cocoa beans. After this, the cocoa butter is removed, and we are left with only the cocoa powder. This cocoa powder is used to make hot cocoa.
Fun Fact
White chocolate isn’t technically chocolate. White chocolate contains cocoa butter but doesn’t contain any cocoa powder or cocoa solids.

Hi! I'm Creed. I am Apollo's brother. I am also a rescue. I have been with the family almost a year now. My parents have figured out that I was trained to be a fighting dog. Before them I was made to run the treadmill every day for 3miles. No lie. So now I am a super lazy LUG that loves to cuddle, sometimes play with Apollo and sleep. My mom wants everyone in the community to know that neither Apollo or Creed have had a lot of socialization. So when you see us out, our bark is bigger than our bite.

BEAT CABIN FEVER WITH WINTER RENOVATIONS
When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas.
Individuals may find that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unfinished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion.
Homeowners may find that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors.
One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel.
Address drafts and other inefficiencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent infiltration.
Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations.
Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchens. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives.

STAY SAFE WHEN STRINGING HOLIDAY LIGHTS
Lighting displays are one of the many things that help make the holiday season a special time of year. Often awe-inspiring, holiday lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for communities and individuals to showcase their festive sides.
Safety should always be a priority when stringing holiday lights both inside and outside a home. The National Fire Protection Association notes that, between 2009 and 2014, fire departments in the United States responded to an average of 210 home fires that started with Christmas trees per year. Lighting displays strung on home exteriors also can pose safety risks if homeowners do not exercise caution. Following some simple safety procedures when decorating with lights can ensure everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday season.

Holidays & Fences
BY DP DUNN
Did you grow up on a farm? Or perhaps a ranch?
I did not. But I’ve known farmers, and their children, and a few ranchers. One of their common traits is their extraordinary work ethic. Incomprehensible. And also incomparable. And what’s more, they have no idea why everyone else isn’t quite like them.
Hard work is normal to them. But, for the rest of us, it is an acquired skill. What we grow up with is ‘normal’ and we think everyone’s situation is nearly identical to ours.
Which brings me to fences. Properties have boundaries. Can’t have the chickens in cahoots with the cattle, nor the bunnies fraternizing with the sheep. And, while the deer are lovelyand tasty - we’ve got to keep them outta the garden if we want veggies for dinner. Fences set boundaries. Limits constrain, but also protect.
Relationships have boundaries, too, and sometimes they get crossed. When a relationship boundary is crossed, sometimes good things happen. Think of your irst kiss, or the irst time you heard the words “I love you” from someone other than a relative. There’s risk, and sometimes risks yield rewards. And sometimes not. Which brings me back to farmers and their work ethic.
Farmers know fences, and farmers also know that everything, including fences, occasionally need mending. Farmers “get right on it,” they don’t dally. They ix that fence and “set it right.” And so we need to do that also with relationships.
Retirement is great. Lots of time to spend reading, playing, praying, preparing, exploring—and mending fences. Writing is a form of time travel, really. No kidding. The written word can sit quietly; we change, but the words remain. Silent and powerful. Enduring. In no hurry to go anywhere just yet. Words can be revisited, revised; tweaked until they are ‘just right’ and say exactly what we need to express. The written word travels through time and lasts; the spoken word can disappear like morning mist or be misremembered.
But, to some really smart people, the spoken word is their preferred communication modality. That’s ine; not everyone was meant to be a writer. So, how to mend fences with words? Offered, for your consideration, is a simple outline: re-introduce yourself, share happy memories and gratitude, apologize if needed, and inally offer to reconnect.
A ictional* example follows:
Hi Linda. My name is Don. We went to [blank] high school together way back in the late 70s. I was going through some old photos and stuff from high school and found some things reminded me of you.
I remember joking with you in a couple of classes we had together, and causing some mischief in study hall. You were part of
the theater and band crowd if I recall, and had a great singing voice. I remember that you were in several school plays as well, and you were really talented.
There was one time that I really regret. You were auditioning for the big school play; I don’t recall what the production was. I was clowning around with friends behind the auditorium while you were on stage. The back doors were open—the audience saw me, but your back was to me. As you spoke your lines and segued into a song, I stood behind you and pantomimed your actions. I was a jackass, and I apologize.
But I managed to make it even worse. A day or two later, you confronted me, asking if it was true. I looked into your beautiful brown eyes and lied to your pretty face.
I never had the nerve to ask you out. And after that profound level of stupidity, I never would. I am deeply sorry; I regret lying to you and mocking you. I was foolish and stupid. I ask your forgiveness even though this occurred decades ago. I hope that you continued singing and acting and have found success and joy in these; you really were very talented.
And, at that point, I would thank her for reading, and offer an email address or other method to reconnect, if she wished.
The Holidays and coming New Year are time for renewal, regeneration, forgiveness, healing and fence mending. Even if your efforts go unacknowledged, you have done what was necessary and right. Be brave; reach out. Fix what needs ixing.
May you and yours enjoy a happy, healthy, safe, restful, holy Holiday Season & 2023.
Dunn lives in Webster, shoveling snow in winter, dirt in summer, raking leaves in fall and mending fences when needed.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Swallowing Pills All at Once is OK, Unless Meds Shouldn’t Interact
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have always wondered if it matters if you swallow a bunch of pills in one swallow or if it would be better to space them out. I take a bunch, like Eliquis, dicyclomine, gabapentin, etc. -- B.A.
ANSWER: With most pills, it’s OK to take them as a bunch together if you can tolerate doing so (I’ve known people who have a tough time taking multiple pills at the same time due to gagging). There are a few combinations of pills that shouldn’t be taken together, such as tetracyclines and calcium, but these should be labelled clearly on your bottle. A few medicines, like alendronate (Fosamax), can’t be taken with any other medicines. Some medicines, including all the ones you mentioned, can cause sedation, which can be worsened if taken together. As always, your pharmacist is your best friend for questions about medication interactions.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: Despite having family history of high cholesterol (including early death due to heart failure), I was told at 53 that my 10-year risk is not alarming. I do not smoke, nor do I drink.
I recently had some tests done and was told that my Lipoprotein(a) level is above normal. I am wondering if that may explain my concern of why, despite keeping a very careful diet over two decades (and a fairly good Mediterranean diet before as well) and an ideal BMI, my figures are not getting better. (I still have a high LDL, low HDL and high triglyceride count.)
After I recovered from COVID, I seemed to have a high pulse and was advised that my stress ECG is positive. I find aerobic exercise very challenging, but I keep active when I can. I tend to be anemic and feel tired very often due to heavy periods, but I take iron supplements. What should I do concerning my cholesterol in my blood? I am concerned that my high figures may indicate a serious silent illness. -- M.H.
ANSWER: The 10-year risk is a good place to start in deciding whether elevated cholesterol needs to be treated; however, the 10-year risk does not consider some risk factors, including the high Lp(a), which is an independent risk factor on top of your high LDL and low HDL. The Lp(a) doesn’t affect the other cholesterol numbers. Diet and exercise do tend to help cholesterol numbers and definitely help reduce heart disease risk, but it is possible to have cholesterol results that are not ideal despite a very good lifestyle.
A positive stress test is a concerning finding and is usually followed up by a definitive test for blockages in the artery, such as an angiogram. The results of that will absolutely guide your cardiologist as far as further treatment, including whether you need treatment for your cholesterol numbers. Although statin drugs do not reduce Lp(a), they do reduce the risk of heart disease in people with elevated levels of Lp(a). I follow the advice of experts who recommend a lower threshold for medication treatment in people with high Lp(a) levels, especially in people with a family history of heart blockages or heart attacks.

PLAQUE VERSUS TARTAR
We know that plaque and tartar are to be avoided, but what’s the difference between the two? Knowing the differences can help you take better preventative care of your teeth. Plaque constantly builds up as a clear or yellow film on your teeth. It is a collection of bacteria inside your mouth that binds together to create more bacteria, leading to more plaque. The best way to prevent plaque buildup is daily brushing and flossing. If plaque is not removed, bacteria and minerals continue to collect and calcify into tartar (hardened plaque). The only way to remove tartar is through a professional teeth cleaning. Tartar can stain teeth, increase trapped plaque, and lead to gingivitis (gum disease).
Our many years of experience have taught us that prevention is a significant
factor in maintaining good oral health, which is a strong contributor to better overall health as well. If you are new to the Batavia area and are looking for a family dentist, BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL would like to extend a welcome and an invitation to visit our office. We know how difficult it can be to find qualified professionals without reliable references. However, we feel that with our approach and our commitment to excellence, we have something unique to offer at 6 Batavia City Centre. Call us at 585.343.4246 for an appointment. P.S. Chronic exposure to the bacteria in plaque inflames the gums and leads to gingivitis and eventually periodontitis.

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A POST-RETIREMENT JOB
Engagement: A job seniors find engaging also is more likely to provide the types of benefits seniors are looking for in post-retirement work. For example, researchers at Boston College’s Sloan Center on Aging and Work found that seniors who find a job or volunteering opportunity truly engaging are more likely to benefit psychologically from those experiences than those whose post-retirement work is not engaging. If seniors find themselves simply going through the motions with their post-retirement work, they can look for opportunities that they can be more enthusiastic about.
THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB
Don’t shirk responsibilities. It can be tempting to slack off when another job awaits. The popular job-hunting site Monster.com says it can be human nature to do less when long-term accountability is removed. However, you never know when you might need a referral or even a new job. Leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of your employer at the end of your work history can put a black mark on your employee record.

* On Dec. 10, 1690, a near-mutiny forces the Massachusetts Bay Colony to issue the first paper currency in the Western Hemisphere. Soldiers were typically paid in coins, but shortages forced armies to temporarily issue IOUs -- in one case, in the form of cut-up playing cards.
* On Dec. 11, 1978, a half dozen masked robbers raid the Lufthansa Airlines cargo building at JFK Airport in New York, making off with more than $5 million in cash ($20 million in today’s dollars) and almost $1 million in jewelry.
* On Dec. 12, 1989, Leona Helmsley, nicknamed the “Queen of Mean,” is sentenced to four years in prison, 750 hours of community service and a $7.1 million tax-fraud fine in New York. Helmsley once quipped that “only the little people pay taxes.”
* On Dec. 13, 2003, in Seattle, the iconic Hat ‘n’ Boots Tex Gas Station is hauled away from the spot where it had stood for almost 50 years. The 44-foot-wide Stetson hat had perched atop the filling station’s office, while the 22-foot-tall cowboy boots housed the men’s and the women’s restrooms.
