HOW TO SAFELY NAVIGATE WET ROADS

Fall is a great time of year to hit the open road, as fall foliage is colorful and provides a wonderful backdrop for weekend getaways, while the mild temperatures of fall makethisanidealtimetoenjoythe greatoutdoors.

Thoughautumnisoftenamildtime of year with regard to weather, fall foliage enthusiasts can still encounter adverse conditions on road trips. According to the automotive group AAA, wet pavementcontributestonearly1.2 milliontrafficaccidentseachyear. When combined with fall leaves, wet pavement poses an even greater threat to drivers and their passengers.

Autumn and precipitation do not necessarily go hand in hand, but drivers should still exercise caution during the fall road trip season so they can better handle roadways that are wet and coveredinfallenleaves.

Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of beginning, spring.... I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.

Magnificent Autumn! He comes not like a pilgrim, clad in russet weeds. He comes not like a hermit, clad in gray. But he comes like a warrior, with the stain of blood upon his brazen mail. His crimson scarf is rent.... The wind.... wafts to us the odor of forest leaves, that hang wilted on the dripping branches, or drop into the stream. Their gorgeous tints are gone, as if the autumnal rains had washed them out. Orange, yellow, and scarlet, all are changed to one melancholy russet hue.... There is a melancholy and continual roar in the tops of the tall pines.... It is the funeral anthem of the dying year.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

SPIRITUAL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Share the story of Christmas

The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin when visited by an angel who informed her that she was to carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes. That required people to return to their places of birth. As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter

The Season was waning to its close. The gardens showed but little of the ravages of autumn as yet. The noble avenues of trees were still in their glory of fulness and expansive verdure; although here and there a few fallen leaves seemed to have fluttered down to earth as premature heralds of decay. The later flowers were gorgeous in their many-coloured splendour, though their earlier sisters had already lived the best of their lives, and now drooped their heads, as if to hide their blighted charms.

~J. Palgrave Simpson, For Ever and Never, 1884, wording slightly altered Pet

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.

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.

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? Men and women often make an effort to lose weight before special events such as weddings or vacations. While many people do so in healthy ways, others take their weight loss efforts to the extreme. For example, many brides-to-be aspire to shed excess weight before their weddings so they can look as slim as possibly in their wedding gowns. The New York Times even reported in 2012 on a bride who spent eight days on a feeding tube to strictly limit calories so she could fit into her wedding dress. Such efforts are dangerous and could put individuals’ long-term health in serious jeopardy. Healthy weight loss for any occasion requires a long lead time, so that individuals can safely shed between one and two pounds per week with a healthy mix of diet and exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Trimming between 500 and 1,000 calories per day from their diets can help individuals lose weight safely.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Market: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment, potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings. For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor.

SPICY STEAK TAMPICO

Makes 4 servings

4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 ounces and 3/4-inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup roasted green chile peppers (see below)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 F for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

To roast chiles: Preheat greased outdoor grill to medium or preheat an oven broiler. Place fresh chiles on outdoor grill or gas stovetop over medium heat or arrange on a baking sheet and place 2 to 3 inches away from heat under broiler. Grill or broil, turning often with tongs, until surfaces of skin are lightly charred and blistered. Immediately place peppers in a paper bag or an airtight container and close tightly. Let peppers cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and remove stems and seeds. Tear into strips or chop as needed according to the recipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Refrigerate peppers for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 6 months.

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!

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.

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.

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Failing to get adequate sleep can have an adverse impact on your career. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, failure to get enough sleep, even for just one night, can impair a person’s ability to function by affecting his or her ability to focus and access high-level cognitive functions. A panel of experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology convened by the National Sleep Foundation in 2015 recommended adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Make a concerted effort to get more sleep if you’re falling short of those recommended guidelines.

SIMPLIFY COOKING FOR A CROWD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Prepare a familiar dish. Hosts may agonize over their holiday menus, and some may feel compelled to prepare a family specialty or the same dishes their parents or grandparents prepared for holiday dinners when they were children. But holiday hosts can make things easy on themselves by choosing dishes they’ve made in the past, regardless of their place in family history. Chances are the ingredients for hosts’ own specialties are already in the pantry, saving a potentially time-consuming trip to the grocery store. And thanks to the familiarity factor, hosts’ own specialties likely won’t require as much time to prepare.

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.
