PREPARE YOUR LAWN & GARDEN FOR WINTER

Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their lawns. Scotts®, an industry leader in lawn care, notes that mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en masse, doing so in the early stages of fall should be possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. Scotts® recommends mulching the leaves to dime-size pieces to a point where half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer.

Tips on planning a memorial service

• Set the date and time.

Memorial services should be planned in consideration of any family members who have traveled from out of town. Set a date close enough to the funeral or anniversary event that visiting friends and family can attend.

•␣Choose a location. Arrange a memorial service at a location that is large enough to accommodate the number of people you’ve invited. Know how many chairs you need, tables for food and arrangements and a podium for a guestbook.

•␣Compile a guest list and send out the invitations. Stay organized when planning a memorial service by making a list of all friends and loved ones of the deceased for sending out invitations.

•␣Personalize decorations and music. Make the memorial service a reflection of the person whose memory you’re honoring by choosing decorations and music the individual would have liked.

Use floral arrangements with the person’s favorite flowers or colors and compile a play list of favorite songs or types of music to be played throughout the service.

•␣Get input from loved ones. Ask friends and family members of the deceased individual for input about special touches that will best help remember their loved one.

•␣Arrange for guest speakers. A key component of many memorial services is having a series of guest speakers who can provide their personal perspective on the deceased person’s life and the legacy being left behind.

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

individuals can make smart food substitutions that won’t compromise taste but will cut calorie intake.

hearth of the world.... In autumn this great conflagration becomes especially manifest. Then the flame that is slowly and mysteriously consuming every green thing bursts into vivid radiance. Every blade of grass and every leaf in the woodlands is cast into the great oven of Nature; and the bright colours of their fading are literally the flames of their consuming. The golden harvest-fields are glowing in the heart of the furnace.... By this autumn fire God every year purges the floor of nature. All effete substances that have served their purposeintheoldformareburntup. Everywhere God makes sweet and cleantheearthwithfire.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT FALL

The colors of fall foliage are actually present year-round. Fall is known for its colorful foliage. But the pigments responsible for those colors are actually present year-round. According to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, green, yellow and orange pigments are present year-round. However, during spring and summer, the leaves serve as factories where many foods necessary to help the tree grow are manufactured. That process takes place in the leaf in cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaves their green color. This process ceases as hours of daylight decrease and temperatures drop.As a result, chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the vivid colors of fall foliage begin to appear.

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!

PET OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM

The Purina Pet Care Center found that overweight pets may live two years less than ideal weight pets. Reduced life span is not the only problem, as carrying extra pounds can contribute to various maladies. These include osteoarthritis and poor joint health, type 2 diabetes, ligament injuries, heart and respiratory disease, kidney disease, and cancer.

Make a household favorite more healthy

Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.

After the examination, VCA Hospitals says tooth scaling will be performed, using both ultrasonic and hand scalers to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. Teeth will then be polished to remove any microscopic scratches that can snag bacteria and lead to subsequent build-up.

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.

For the sauce:

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 2 pinches salt 2 pinches freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon honey

For the chicken:

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 4 cups baby spinach

1 teaspoon lemon juice

3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded) 6 cups cooked whole-grain thin spaghetti tossed in 2 teaspoons olive oil Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with olive oil spray.

To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.

To make the chicken: Combine parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium dish and coach chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, rounded-side down, and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Let’s Move!, a comprehensive initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama to combat childhood obesity, doctors are concerned that the rise of obesity in children and teens may lead to problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, and sleep apnea as they age. Children who are obese may have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and an abnormal glucose tolerance, increasing their risk factors for cardiovascular disease. But poor physical health is not the only concern parents should have if their children are obese. Overweight and obese children are often targets of social discrimination, which can negatively affect their selfesteem and may even hinder their academic and social functioning. Parents concerned about their children’s weight should consult their children’s physicians and recognize that a combination of daily exercise and a healthy diet is the most effective way to help kids lose weight and maintain a healthy weight into adulthood.

SENIORS AND EXERCISE: TIPS TO AVOID INJURIES, GET HEALTHY

Exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. Daily exercise can improve mood, promote an active lifestyle and reduce a person’s risk for a host of ailments, including diabetes and heart disease. Despite the importance of exercise, many people live sedentary lifestyles into their golden years. Seniors who want to embrace a healthier way of life and get more physically active should first consult with their physicians before beginning an exercise regimen. Certain medications may limit just how far seniors can push themselves, while preexisting conditions may make specific types of exercise off limits. After discussing their limitations with their physicians and developing a safe exercise routine, seniors can avoid injury but still get healthy.

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.

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

HOW TO MAKE THANKSGIVING DINNER HEALTHIER

Practice portion control. It’s not necessarily what you eat on Thanksgiving, but how much you eat that makes the meal so unhealthy. The American Heart Association advises holiday celebrants to practice portion control. In addition, eat fewer high-calorie foods and fill up on lighter fare,such as vegetables and lean turkey.This way you get to enjoy a taste of everything without overdoing it.

* 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.

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.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS

Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.

Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment - and eventually a lucrative career choice - attitudes about trade schools and laborintensive jobs may shift.

Agreatnumberofcollegegraduatesentertheworkforcewithdegreesthat may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and workinginjobsthataren’tevenintheirfieldsofstudy.Careerandtechnical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A POST-RETIREMENT JOB

Socialization: Though the ability to work from home can make it easier for retirees to earn some extra money, some seniors aren’t concerned about their finances but want to work so they can get out of the house. In that case, look for a job that offers the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. Socializing as an older adult is a great way to fend off loneliness. In addition, one study published in 2007 in the journal of the American Public Health Association found that social support networks have a positive effect on cognition among older adults. So a post-retirement job that enables retirees to socialize could delay or reduce the severity of age-related cognitive decline.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE (AND GET) A SALARY INCREASE

Salaries in the workplace have long been a hot-button issue for women. The differences in compensation for males and females continues to draw the attention of politicians and gender equality advocates alike.

The United States Department of Labor noted that, in 2015, the median weekly earnings for fulltime male workers increased by 2.2 percent from the year prior. During that same period, female earnings increased by just 0.8 percent. That latest data marks the third consecutive quarter that the increase in males’ earnings doubled that of females. On average, women who work fulltime earn 81.1 cents for every dollar men earn.

Women aware of that unfair gap in pay may feel helpless to address it with their bosses out of fear of being seen as unappreciative or selfish. In fact, addressing compensation makes many workers uncomfortable, regardless of their gender. According to a salary survey from PayScale, almost 60 percent of male and female workers do not ask for a raise. Negotiating salary increases requires finesse, timing and being informed. It also requires a certain measureofgumption.
