STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie

Winborne

* A common issue with blood donation -- along with other types of charitable contributions -- is that if donors don’t know the recipient, it’s harder to convince them that donating is beneficial. Therefore, in an effort to encourage more young people to give blood, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a text when their donation has been dispensed to someone in need, providing proof that it’s going to good use.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment

Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

THE HISTORY OF CORSAGES

The term “corsage” was once a reference to the bodice of a woman’s dress. The first corsages were actually worn on the bodice, which is the part of a woman’s dress that is above the waist, and some believed the corsage could ward off evil spirits. According to PollenFloralDesign.com, by the 1900s, corsages were worn closer to the shoulder than the bodice. At this time, the flowers were pinned on upside down, with the bow at the top. The corsages were also larger at this time than they are today. The tradition of giving corsages to young ladies on their prom nights is relatively recent. In fact, many historians agree that this practice likely began in the 20th century in the United States when gentlemen would typically arrive to pick up their prom dates bearing bouquets of flowers for their dates’ parents. The young men would then remove one flower from the bouquet and attach it to their dates’ dress.

COPING WITH THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE WHILE SOCIAL DISTANCING

Host calls with family members and friends.The video telephone and chat service Zoom has helped millions of people stay connected with loved ones while social distancing. Schools and universities even employed the service when in-person classroom sessions were canceled to stop the spread of the virus. The CDC recommends grieving families employ such technology to connect with each other in the wake of a loved one’s death.

Birthday celebration thank you

On behalf of 14 women at lunch on March 20 celebrating the birthdays of two special individuals at [a] restaurant in Mt. Morris, we thank you for the generous gesture of paying for our meals. Your act of kindness truly warmed our hearts and made the celebration even more memorable and has left a lasting impression on all of us. Thank you!

From - The Birthday Club

Please don’t close so much

Fantastic County Rehabilitation Facility

We live in [local town] and love our library. We’re always there for books, art exhibits and different programs. However, lately they often close for a day or longer for various reasons. This past weekend they were closed all day Friday and all day Saturday for an indoor miniature golf tournament which was a fundraiser for the library. It’s also not unusual for them to close for a full day for staff training. For holidays they frequently close for two days. These closings are in my opinion excessive and inconvenience many, many people. When it’s time to vote for the library budget, I always go and vote yes. I may rethink that.

Tipping in restaurants

Words alone cannot express our thanks to the staff of Livingston County [rehab facility]. My roommate was there for over a month and is now walking. A big thanks to the nurse on the rehab floor, the cleaning dept., the physical therapy dept., and Mike and Erica, were all wonderful! The cafeteria staff, Mike, the food was awesome and they were very courteous. Livingston [rehab facility] was a wonderful place; the staff upon arrival was like old family with their greetings. We also had to use their transportation to go to Rochester to the doctor. Robbie and Holly were awesome on the Mobile Medical. We highly recommend this place. Again, we say a big Thank you! Keep up the great job. We love you all. God Bless You all. Always remember you're never fully dressed until you wear a smile. Thanks again! ~John and

Shirley

Some restaurants are starting to add a line on your bill to tip the kitchen. Tips are for the servers. Period! The OWNERS should pay their Cooks, Chefs and Cleaners appropriately. With our economy, costs and prices are out of control. I feel it’s absurd to “bleed” your patrons. Some checks have a pre-set tip or an extra line to add a tip but you are on the spot if you choose not to. When I see this, I WON’T RETURN, spreading the word about that restaurant.

Christina Thompson: Empowering Others Through Leadership and Advocacy

BY HELANA SHUMWAY

EveryMarch,wehonorWomen’sHistoryMonthtopayhomage to our world’s incredible, powerful, fierce women. While this act of reverence should certainly be a year-long effort, March brings an additional opportunity for reflection.

Western New York is a particularly relevant area to celebrate women’s history, as Seneca Falls and Rochester were two central locations during the women’s suffrage movement in the 1800s. is month, there are many incredible women to highlight who continue to advocate for needed change in our society. One such woman is Christina ompson.

Representing strength, resilience, perseverance, and determination, Christina is an advocate in her personal life and in her professional life. March 1st, she started her new role as Executive Director of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. e Coalition offers support and other services to breast and gynecologic cancer survivors in 27 counties in Western and Central New York. e organization’s four pillars are Support, Education, Research, and Advocacy.

Christina’s journey to the Coalition was not a linear one. In her words, “ e path I’ve traveled through life has been marked by unforeseen changes and surprises, and pondering over these moments enables me to pinpoint the precise times when my voice began to emerge.”

In the spring of 2018, at 39 years old, Christina received news that changed her life in an instant; she was diagnosed with stage IIb breast cancer. Her voice emerged a er she began coming to the Coalition for support during her treatment.

roughout treatment, Christina participated in many different discussion groups offered by the organization. “I found comfort in connecting with the Coalition staff,” she reflects. “ eir attentive listening, marked by the understanding nod of someone who had walked a similar path, provided solace. My greatest fears, such as how to undergo treatment without health insurance and the possibility of my 2- and 5-year-old daughters growing up without me, were dispelled.”

She and her husband also started a support group within their church community, providing individuals diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers space to share stories, resources, and validation. Christina’s voice emerged stronger within the community as she faced her own reality of going through cancer treatment.

A few years a er completing her treatment, Christina came across the Coalition’s search for a Program Director and knew this was the right next step. “Upon assuming the role in January 2021, I felt an instant sense of belonging,” she shares. “All at once, the upheaval of my breast cancer diagnosis at 39 provided me with a newfound sense of purpose in life. My voice was developing – I had found my cause and my purpose.”

Swi ly, her voice found resonance. Upon joining the Advocacy Committee, representing one of the cornerstone pillars of the

Coalition, Christina used her cancer journey to affect change. Comprised of survivors and others impacted by breast or gynecologic cancer, the committee meticulously chooses proposed legislation that would positively affect the survivor community. Christina shares her firsthand experience when engaging with legislators to articulate the necessity for this change. According to Christina, her voice no longer wavers when describing how she received a breast cancer diagnosis at 39 years old, using it to advocate for the crucial bipartisan support of our elected officials.

At the forefront of the Coalition’s advocacy to pass local, state, and national legislation, Christina is heavily involved in efforts to pass New York State’s Beauty Justice Bill (S4265/A6969), a law to ban endocrine-disrupting chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products. Exposure to such chemicals is linked to an increased risk of certain types of hormone-based cancers (such as breast, ovarian, prostate, and thyroid).

On the national level, Christina and the committee work diligently to advocate for the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act (HR 549). Metastatic disease occurs when cancer invades areas of the body beyond the breast and is classified as stage IV. HR 549 would waive the 5-month wait period to receive Social Security Disability Insurance and the 2-year wait period to receive Medicare for individuals under age 65 diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.

Today, Christina is the Executive Director of the same organization that was there for her from the point of diagnosis onward through survivorship. It feels extremely timely that her first day in her new role at the Coalition was also the first day of Women’s History Month. As an advocate, mother, wife, friend, and leader, Christina passionately inspires change and upli s others in every role she plays. Having fully found her voice, she is ready for what comes next. As an advocate at heart, she will undoubtedly use her voice to make a lasting difference in our region.

Answers

Here’s a Tip

* What’s the best way to keep sheet sets together? Tuck all the pieces in a matching pillowcase, of course.

* Need to hull strawberries? Try using a straw. You position the straw at the bottom of the strawberry, then push up toward the stem. It works quickly and well.

* If you mount a magnet strip in your bathroom or on your vanity, you can use it to hold bobby pins or metal barrettes. Or mount a ribbon to hold all kinds of hair clips.

* If your entertainment electronics have a clock that is too bright, cover it with plain tape. You will still be able to read the time, but the tape will lessen the glare.

Grubs:

roots of grass right below the surface. Michigan State University Extension Turf & Landscape reports that grub damage can appear from March to early May or from mid-September to early November. The lawn and garden experts at GardenTech® note that wilted grass blades are often the first indicator of a grub infestation, which is followed by patches of brown turf and eventually death. Crows, skunks and moles eat grubs, so the sight of them in a lawn could indicate an infestation.

DID YOU KNOW?

The planet is comprised of a remarkable set of organisms that, when working correctly, produce some awe-inspiring results. However, the Earth is constantly under attack from a growing population and the mechanisms of man that can have very real environmental impacts. Education is the key to inciting real change. One in four mammals is at risk of extinction, while 78 percent of marine mammals are threatened by an early and preventable death due to getting caught in fishing nets intended for other species. Furthermore, at least 50 million acres of rainforest are lost every year, totaling an area the size of Great Britain, says the organization Solar Energy World. By making real changes, including recycling, cutting down on emissions and protecting wildlife habitats, individuals can help to preserve the world’s resources for many years to come.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Lucie Winborne

* Lisa Jakub, who played teenager Lydia Hilliard in “Mrs. Doubtfire,” was kicked out of her Toronto school for taking the five-month-long film gig. When co-star Robin Williams found out, he wrote a letter to the school asking them to reconsider. School officials framed his letter, but didn’t change their mind about Jakub.

Gospel Corner

NO GOOD FRIDAY – Jesus Christ (GOD, The Anointed Messiah) paid an awful price on the cross for all our sins but it wasn’t on Friday. Sorry folks, but I’m sure you are well able to count and subtract. Let’s clear up this fallacy. Matthew 12:40 says Jesus was in the earth 3 days and 3 nights. We know for sure Christ rose on the 1st day, Sunday, before sun up. Go 3 days back (nights and days) to Thursday. He had to be crucified on Wednesday 9am to 3pm to fit the timeline. They put His dead body in Joseph’s tomb before sun down. Then Thursday starts. Remember the Jewish day starts at sun down. Our Lord defeated death, hell & the grave by His resurrection before Sunday morning. He proved to all that He is the ONLY way to heaven. Repent and trust Him today.

Why is Easter ca ed Easter? The christening of the holiday as ‘Easter’ is believed to have originated from the name of a goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at the begi ing of spring before Christ’s time.

What does the word Easter mean?

Another theory su ests that the word ‘Easter’ originated from the German word for ‘East,’ also meaning dawn.

Lone Star Tick Bites Cause Alpha-Gal Syndrome

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was recently diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). I live in the country, but I do not remember having a tick on me. My husband and I are very cautious and always check for them. I am struggling to understand what exactly are my symptoms, and what I can and cannot eat. I don’t know if I am someone who can have dairy or not.

The biggest challenge seems to be eating out. If I order chicken, fish or vegetables and they are cooked on the same grill as meat, then they are not safe to eat due to cross contamination. Also, dairy, lard and whey are in many food items.

Is there a specialist I should consult? My doctor seems to know about some of this, but is unable to answer many of my questions. Any information you can share would be helpful. -- S.N.

ANSWER: AGS is an allergy to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, a carbohydrate allergen found in all mammalian meats, such as beef, pork and lamb. The allergy can be serious as people develop symptoms, including various syndromes like skin itching and rashes; gastrointestinal symptoms; and even anaphylaxis, a severe allergy syndrome of cardiovascular collapse.

These reactions are delayed compared to other typical allergic responses, with people often developing symptoms the night after consuming meat -- about two to six hours after consumption. A blood test for alpha-gal allergies can confirm the diagnosis.

These symptoms usually begin after getting bitten multiple times by a Lone Star tick. The tick has alpha-gal in its saliva, which triggers the sensitivity. Many medical professionals are unaware of this newly described condition (40% reported never having heard of the syndrome), which can prevent a diagnosis from being made in a timely fashion.

Because the condition is new, there are some factors that we don’t really understand about it, like why some people tolerate muscle meat from an animal but react strongly to organ meat. There just aren’t answers to some of the questions that you might be asking. For example, milk, whey and gelatin sensitivity have been described with AGS, but not lard (at least that I could find).

Sometimes a person tolerates cooked meat but is intolerant of raw (or barely cooked) meat. Some people lose the allergy over time (usually a few years), but additional tick bites may bring it back.

The ideal specialist in this case is an allergist. You should certainly have and know how to use an epinephrine injector in case of a severe reaction.

***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Flea onslaught strikes early in the season

DEAR PAW’S CORNER:

my cat Flicker is already scratching himself silly with fleas! He has terrible skin reactions to flea bites. How can I get rid of them? -- Jesse B., Oak Ridge, Tennessee

DEAR JESSE: Flea infestations are awful, aren’t they? As the seasons change and the weather warms up, flea activity rises, and pet owners start seeing more evidence of fleas on their pets and around their homes.

Fleas aren’t just annoying. ey can carry diseases that are transmissible to pets and humans. Tapeworms and cat scratch disease are just two of the potential ills that a flea infestation can bring into your home.

Tackle a flea problem head-on, and don’t wait -- because it will continue to get worse as the summer approaches.

Because of Flicker’s allergic reaction to flea bites, he needs direct treatment to repel fleas and prevent them from latching on to his fur again. Talk to his veterinarian about the most effective flea treatments. For example, a monthly or quarterly topical flea treatment may be a good option. Oral medication -- as pills or chewables -- is also very effective. e vet may also recommend medication to clear up his current skin issues.

Reduce the risk of another flea infestation by making your home difficult for fleas to exist in.

--Have your home treated for fleas by a pest control service.

--Pick up clutter from the floor and replace any plush or feltedtoys with new ones.

--Vacuum twice a week to pick up fleas and their eggs.

--Repair or replace damaged window and door screens.

--Remove any debris piles near your home, and shi wood piles farther away.

DID YOU KNOW?

Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.
