LESS STRESSFUL THANKSGIVING TRAVEL

HOW TO MAKE THANKSGIVING DINNER HEALTHIER

Choose healthier ingredients. Substitute low-fat milk or stocks for cream and whole milk in recipes. Include steamed cauliflower in mashed potatoes recipes to make them more filling and healthier. Sweet potatoes tend to be sweet enough without the need for butter, sugar and marshmallows. Skim the fat and oils out of gravies and sauces before serving. Olive oil is a healthy fat that can be used in place of butter or margarine.

Creamy Potatoes

6 medium potatoes,peeled and diced

4T.unsalted butter 1/4-1/2 c.cream

Salt and pepper,to taste 4 oz.crumbled gorgonzola,plus extra for garnish

Place potatoes in a large pot and add a pinch of salt.Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 2025 minutes. Drain potatoes and return to pan.

Gently mash potatoes. Add butter, 1/4 cup cream and season with salt and pepper. Combine until well blended. Add more cream if necessary to reach desired consistency. Sir in gorgonzola. Transfer to a serving dish and top with additional gorgonzola and serve.Serves 4-6.

to the American

Business Alliance (AIBA), when you shop local, approximately 48% of the cost of your purchase is recirculated back into the local economy. When you shop at a chain store, that number drops to only 14%. Instead of taking your hard-earned dollars to a billion-dollar chain store, think about how beneficial it would be to invest them in your local economy

help support a small business owner's family. Every dollar helps, especially around the holidays.

Pack a GPS device with you. Busy holidays could mean a greater propensity for accidents or traffic jams. Don’t be caught off guard by not knowing a detour around the hold-up. Having a GPS with you can help you to stay abreast of traffic patterns and get out of trouble should your main travel route become blocked.

Many people count their blessings on Thanksgiving. Few, however, count their calories. Overindulging at the dinner table is a Thanksgiving tradition, and often paves the way for a season of poor nutritional habits with longlasting ramifications.

The American Council on Exercise says that the average adult consumes 3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat at a typical Thanksgiving meal. That is well above the USDA-recommended guidelines of 2,000 calories and 65 grams of fat that most adults should consume in an entire day.

With so many options available on the Thanksgiving buffet table, it is easy to see how overeating is commonplace. Rather than wearing elasticwaisted pants and succumbing to too many fattening foods, individuals can make smart food substitutions that won’t compromise taste but will cut calorie intake.

Lowering BMI Before Surgery Can Provide Better Outcomes

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m 72, and I have had arthritis for three years: two years in both knees, and one year in my right hip and the base of my spine. I am 5’3” and weigh 221 pounds, with a body mass index (BMI) of 39. I lost 23 pounds from January to June. What is the BMI needed for an orthopedic surgeon to do a hip replacement for someone with osteoarthritis -- without a broken hip? I recently had an assessment of my hip X-rays. I was told I’m at the outer cutoff of a BMI of 39, so I’m eligible for a hip replacement operation. Then, a few weeks later, I saw the surgeon, who ended up rejecting me -- claiming that 39 isn’t the outer limit, 35 is.

After a long talk, the surgeon said he’d do it for me, but I’d get a better result if I lose 20 more pounds and get my BMI down to 35. I felt jerked around, but said I’d wait and lose weight. I’m also trying to find a surgeon I like more than him. So, what is the BMI needed for knee surgery: 35 or 39? -- L.C.

ANSWER: There is no standard cutoff BMI for joint replacement surgery. It is true that people with a BMI over 40 are at higher risk for medical complications; however, it is also true that people with severe arthritis and a high BMI still get improvement in their quality of life with surgery. Denying a person a cost-effective surgery that can greatly improve their quality of life simply because of a BMI number (which, in itself, is a flawed metric) is inappropriate. I can understand why you would want to see a different surgeon, as it sounds like you were not treated well. However, the surgeon was right that surgical outcomes are better if a person can lose at least 20 pounds, according to a 2019 study. This included shorter lengths of stay in the hospital and a lesser chance of needing surgical revision. I wonder, though, if part of the benefit seen in the study was due to increased exercise prior to surgery, which is known to be beneficial in surgical outcomes.

Scammers: More Dangerous an Ever

To those of us who wander the internet: beware. e scammers, thieves and troublemakers have kicked things up a notch or two, and frankly it’s getting a bit dangerous.

By dangerous, I mean when it comes to the safety of our personal information and money. ese scammers will do nearly anything to get it. You might come home to a voicemail message that asks you to call back. e scammers might pretend to be your bank or another company you know. ey’ll ask you to verify your account number to identify yourself. Don’t do it. If the message comes to you in a text message, don’t click that link.

If you’ve applied for a job, a scammer will ask for upfront fees or personal information.

You might get a call from a scammer pretending to be your insurance company or Medicare. ey’ll claim they need to verify your card number.

A scammer will pretend to be from your local town o ce and say that you haven’t paid your property taxes and that you could be arrested if you don’t send them money.

If you’ve tried to get rental assistance, a scammer might call to ask for your personal information as well as an upfront fee.

If there is a life event or occurrence, there is sure to be a scam involved somehow. e Federal Trade Commission scam alert webpage lists several right now: fake hurricane relief, fake Geek Squad invoices, fake student load aid, fake winter prep assistance, fake internet and cable o ers ... and so much more.

If you’re in the market for a new or additional cellphone, it could be the rst step in foiling some of those scammers. How? By not giving the new number out to anyone but trusted family and friends.

Remember: Your name, number and email address are for sale out there. ere are websites around the world that do nothing but collect this information ... and sell it to scammers. Do everything you can to stay o those lists. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

This is Thumbuddy Thumbuddy rescued us on Feb. 13, 2013; we were grieving the loss of our Tinkerbelle when this handsome seven-month-old teenager turned up on G.R.A.S.P.’s website; he has extra toes on all four paws and knows how to use his opposable thumbs! He watches over his 91 year-old “Grandma Kitty,” and if she goes outside and doesn’t return in a reasonable length of time, he races around the house to find Mom and loudly tattle on Grandma. He loves to snuggle behind Grandma’s knees when she lies down for a nap, and as evidenced by his smile, no one would question he’s a big, happy guy.

MISSION COFFEE: CoffeeFindsaHigherCalling

BY JODY GREER

Mission Co ee is a grassroots Veteran owned business that began in 2018 and aims at connecting military Veterans to one another in a relaxing and informal way. Even better still, Veterans are building bonds through their shared love of co ee.

“The mission of Mission Co ee is just to sit down and have a cup of co ee and start the conversation,” says President Dave DiFranco. It’s no secret that American Veterans su er from startling rates of PTSD, and while the su ering remains the same, all Veterans deal with post-traumatic stress di erently. “According to the U.S. Department of Veterans A airs, 11-20 out of every 100 Veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder.”

These statistics can vary across generations and wars; however, most Veterans have di iculties reaching out for help, and as time goes by this becomes increasingly detrimental to their mental health and well-being. That’s something that DiFranco understands all too well. “My dad was a WWII veteran, and I lost him to PTSD, to suicide,” says DiFranco soberly. And suddenly the goal of Mission Co ee becomes clear: communication and support must be coordinated for Veterans in need of assistance, and great tasting co ee is the focal point.

Mission Co ee is not simply about fundraising; it is a Veteran services organization that gives back to their local community. “We served our co ee at the Kiwanis country club dinner this year. People are really enjoying it. We use local roasters, and last year, we sent co ee to Afghanistan for our troops out there. The best blend everyone likes is our Bakeryblend.90%ofpeopleloveit,andithasagoodkick!Whenyouopen the co ee, it has an aroma. It’s all Arabica beans. We don’t do anything without Arabica beans. There are no fillers, no chemical enhancers. We don’t use the chemicals that aren’t good for you,” boasts DiFranco.

Mission Co ee sells high quality co ee to the public, and a portion of every bag sold supports local Veteran initiatives. “When you’re having a cup of co ee, it [is] nice to think that you’re sipping on something that actually helps Veterans,” adds DiFranco. If Veterans can gather and unwind over a cup of co ee in a relaxed setting, then Mission Co ee has served their purpose.

While co ee is its main initiative, Mission Co ee serves military Vets in other ways, as well, playing many other critical roles across the Western NY community and nationwide. Veterans and their families have benefited from their support in recent years and continue to do so with programs like Clear Path for Veterans, V.P.A.C (Veterans Plus Assistance Corp.), and K9 Companions for Rochester. Programs like these are more specialized in their focus and are instrumental in guiding Veterans when returning home from war, learning a new occupation, and/or re-entering the workforce, as well as the value of caring for a special K9 companion.

Animals have always been known to boost mental health and longevity, but DiFranco believes four-legged companions have a lasting impact on Veterans that many underestimate. “O ering companionship to these older Veterans especially—they’re in their 60s, 70s and 80s—is amazing. We just donated a pet to a Korean Veteran. I can read their eyes. I hear them speaking to me with their eyes about those things that they just won’t say, and I know that I won’t ask questions that they just won’t answer. Once they realize the pain that they have held in for all these years, it’s almost like a slow blink of their eyes and a nod, and nothing else has to be said. I am accepted by those who have served, I think, because I understand. It’s a great responsibility.”

A great responsibility like that comes with great rewards. Mission Co ee volunteers rescue abandoned, neglected, and mistreated cats over time and rehome them with military Veterans and their families. Frequently, the animals are lovingly cared for and maintained for years by Mission Co ee volunteers before ever being released to a Vet. When a cat does get adopted by a military Vet, it gains a new lease on life, and in many cases, so does the Vet.

Other programs under the Mission Co ee umbrella, like K9 Companions for Rochester, enable Vets to adopt dogs in need of a loving home, at no cost to them. However, for older Vets, a more suitable companion is o en a cat. A Vet will never be charged for an adoption expense or for the cost of caring for their newly adopted pet: that’s the idea behind Mission Co ee. None of this would be possible without the long list of supporters, volunteers, and fundraising e orts that help make Mission Co ee a reality.

Another essential program under the Mission Co ee umbrella is Combat Comedians, spearheaded by the famed Ralph Tetta. Tetta himself formerly toured with the renowned George Carlin and knows all too well the profound healing power of comedy and the gi of laughter. Shows like Combat Comedians give Veterans a chance to talk about their military experiences and find humor in tragedy.

Always leveraging community involvement, Mission Co ee’s goal is to keep growing to better serve their Veterans in need. Their reach knows no bounds, and recently they’ve partnered with Hanger Prosthetics, a prosthetic company that has been helping to fit Veterans with prosthetics since the Civil War. Veterans can have prosthetics designed for them to meet their individual needs, free of cost and obligation.

Mission Co ee believes in #OneTeamOneFight. Their driving force is a firm passion for community involvement through fundraising, volunteerism, and, most of all, co ee. The next time you buy co ee, consider buying co ee beans through Mission Co ee. You might just be starting a lifechanging conversation for a Veteran in need.

Election Day

On Election Day, I was signed into my polling place by a Marine Vet. He had served his country before and was doing so once again. Thank you.

Veterans Day Dinner

Shout out to the Lakeville Fire Department Exempts for an amazing dinner to honor our Veterans! Not only did they provide a delicious, perfectly grilled steak for the Veterans (plus two chips for any drinks of their choice), they also provided hamburgers and hot dogs for the Veteran's family. In addition, there was a buffet with tossed salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, salt potatoes, rolls & butter and an abundance of dessert choices.

The event was smoothly run by all of the volunteers and they made everyone feel welcome. They served approximately 200 Veterans and their families. Can't thank them enough for their generosity and all the time and effort put into this event. It was greatly appreciated by myself and all the other Veterans and their families.

Young kid offers to pay for my order

I was at Speedway in Shortsville on Sunday 11/13 and this nice young man ( possible 10+ years) asked if he could pay for my order. I said no, that's alright, but he insisted and wouldn't take no for an answer, so I let him. I told him I will make sure I pay it forward. I want to commend the parents of this young man. There are not many kids that would even consider doing that. They did an awesome job with that young man. Other kids should learn by his example.

With Humble Gratitude

Thank you to the kind woman ahead of me recently at the West Bloomfield Dollar General. Your unexpected generosity towards my purchases continues to warm my heart. I want you to know that I was making purchases for donation to those less fortunate. Your kindness and generosity were humbling.

Leaf Pickup

RAVES RANTS

This isn't really a rant, but more of a question/observation. When is the town of Mendon going to join the party and offer curbside leaf pickup? Bagging leaves and putting them in the trash can can't be good for the environment, not to mention the cost of bags, which of course has gone up. Now a few trash companies have put a limit on how many bags can be picked up weekly. It seems like all of our neighboring communities have the convenience of depositing their leaves roadside to be vacuumed up later. Sure wish Mendon offered that. Thank you.

Please slow down

To the person flying down Pratt Road Saturday October night. Please slow down. You hit a person's dog and just kept going. The speed limit is 45 . Kids are outside playing, people walk, jog and walk their pets. When you hit something, please do the right thing and stop to see what you hit, and if it is a pet please contact the proper authorities. Now this family doesn't have their pet and is devastated with what happened. Please slow down and pay attention to your surroundings.

Dissatisfied with water Has anyone else noticed they have a “mold“ problem with the new municipal water from the [local town].I never had mold under the rim of my toilet with our well water. I now have mold that I have to scrub off the toilet every other day. The “mold“ also grows around the drain, and there is black residue in the spout. What bothered me the most was spraying a squirt gun that had water in it and it sprayed out BLACK! I was so happy to have municipal water and now I am afraid to drink it and to brush my teeth with it. Take a white cloth and wipe your spout and see if you also have black stuff on the cloth. I am forever cleaning this and never had this problem before. Something is wrong!

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the Food Network, thawing a frozen turkey takes several days. The popular foodbased television channel says it can take roughly four to five days for a frozen 20-pound turkey to fully defrost. Thanksgiving hosts who plan to cook turkeys that weight more than 20 lbs. should afford their turkeys even more time to fully defrost. The Food Network also recommends that cooks who want their turkeys to have crisp skin leave the bird uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. The time it takes to cook a turkey depends on whether or not the bird was purchased fresh. The Food Network advises cooking fresh turkeys for 10 to 15 minutes per pound in a 350 F oven, while frozen turkeys need roughly 20 minutes per pound at 350 F. And while stuffing is a Thanksgiving Day staple, the Food Network recommends going easy with the stuffing. Turkeys that are not densely stuffed will cook more evenlythanturkeyswhosecavities are overflowing with stuffing.

Pet Buying Scam Leaves Owner Heartbroken

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I got scammed! I can’t believe it. For decades, I’ve purchased speci c dog breeds from reputable breeders locally and up to a few hundred miles away. But last year I decided to purchase a dog from overseas, speci cally Europe, because I wanted a speci c breed and there were none available locally. Normally I would happily y over myself to meet the prospective pet, but due to travel restrictions during the pandemic, that was not possible. ere’s a lot to my story of being scammed, but in the interest of time I will just say that I paid out several thousand dollars to a scammer who looked very legitimate online, and at the end of the day, no dog ever arrived. I want to warn other people who are thinking about buying a dog from overseas to be very careful. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. -- Heartbroken in Dallas

DEAR HEARTBROKEN: ank you for sharing your story. It will help so many other potential owners to avoid pet-buying pitfalls.

Overseas pet-buying scams have increased dramatically in the past few years -- so much so that such purchases, especially from Eastern Europe, were banned temporarily. But scammers don’t care about bans, and they’ll do anything to get money from people who just want a pet.

If you haven’t done so yet, report the scammer to authorities. File a report locally with your city’s police department. If you wired money to the scammer, contact the service provider to report the incident. Report the incident on pet scam websites, social media and anywhere that pet owners chat.

e International Pet And Animal Transportation Association has more strategies to report scammers here: www.ipata.org/pet-scams.

Turkey is an excellent source of B vitamins, including B3, B6 and B12. Having enough B3, also known as niacin, is important for overall health, and higher levels of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. B6 is also called pyridoxine. It’s involved in the process of making certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin and norepinephrine, which transmit signals in the brain. Important for neurological health, B12 helps decrease levels of homocysteine,which can contribute to cognitive decline.

TECH TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP

Navigation system: Many vehicles are now equipped with built-in navigation systems. But drivers whose vehicles are older or not equipped with such technology should consider purchasing one before embarking on trips. Though some travelers may feel navigation systems go against the adventurous spirit of road trips, it’s easy to get lost on the open road, especially in an era when many people have grown accustomed to roundthe-clock access to information, including maps, on their smartphones. Even if you have no set itinerary in mind, a navigation system can ensure you spend more time enjoying the open road and less time trying to figure out just where you are at any given moment.

HOW TO MAKE THANKSGIVING DINNER HEALTHIER

Focus on fruit for dessert. Thanksgiving dinner is usually followed with a decadent spread of desserts. These pies and cakes can be delicious but laden with calories. In lieu of traditional fare, serve poached fruits sprinkled with a little brown sugar and oatmeal for a tasty and healthy dessert. Low-fat sherbet, fresh fruit salad and rice pudding also make for healthier desserts.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Ounce marks come standard on most baby bottles, but they can be hard to see. You can use a permanent marker to make the lines bigger, especially the one you are most likely to want to see in the middle of the night! -- R.G. in Indiana

* Before you set your new can of shaving cream on the sink edge, take this man tip from me: Borrow a bottle of clear nail polish and paint the bottom rim, extending up a quarter inch. It won’t leave rust rings. Been doing this for years. -- M.W. in New York

* Cut the top off of a soda two liter to use as a funnel. They are very easy to cut and you have a funnel whenever you need one!

* Save and clean your prescription bottles; they make a really great container for bobbins. I take a spare piece of thread, ball it up a bit and tape it to the top of the container, too. Then I sit them all in a shoe box. I can see just from the tops which color I need to use. -- L.K. in Alabama

* If you use condiment bottles with a squeeze top, start saving them for snow season! Clean and fill with water, then add a few drops of food coloring. Make several of different colors. You can teach the children how to make different shades by mixing the drops. The kids can take them all out in the snow to “paint.” Be sure to take photos of your temporary art.
