saturday, december avon holiday spectacular!

Chicken and Black Bean Chili

Serves 6 to 8

1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil, divided 11/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin seeds

2 cups diced yellow onions

1 cup seeded, diced poblano chiles

1 red bell pepper, diced

3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced

1/4 cup minced garlic

1 14.5-ounce can black beans

1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes

2 ears corn, kernels cut from the cobs

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 ripe avocado, halved, pitted, and diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/2 red onion, diced

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, minced

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced

11/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 cup crumbled Mexican cotija cheese

1/2 cup grated mixed cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses

Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a heavy-bottomed, 8-quart pot over medium heat. Add the chicken, chili powder and cumin seeds and saute until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside.

Return the pot to the heat, add the remaining 1/4 cup of oil, and cook the yellow onions, poblanos, bell pepper, chipotles, and garlic, stirring frequently, until the onions start to brown. Stir in the beans with their liquid, tomatoes and corn and return the cooked chicken with all its juices. Turn the heat down to low and simmer, stirring every 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, combine the avocado, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, and salt. Set aside.

To serve, ladle the chili into bowls and top with the salsa and the cheeses.

Here's what we've been up to in the community.

• We recently donated to the East Avon Fire Department for their fundraiser.

• We donated to a young family who were expecting their rst baby and mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, requiring treatment and surgery during her pregnancy. e baby came 7 weeks early and is in the NICU but is healthy!! Mom still has a long road ahead of her. She found out her cancer is not gone and has to undergo another surgery along with more chemo and radiation. We de nitely felt like they could use some support. Please keep this family in your prayers.

• We are sponsoring two families in Avon for anksgiving.

• We donated to a family that lost everything everything while Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida. ey moved up to Avon to be with family and the Foundation quickly jumped in to help by getting coats, hats and gloves for their children.

A special thanks to the Tom Moran Foundation for all of their support to help make this possible.

For more information and to support, follow us on FB at: e Louie Lee Foundation.

ARE POINSETTIAS POISONOUS?

The National Capital Poison Center notes that, in most cases, exposure to any part of a poinsettia plant in children or pets has little, if any, effect. However, if the plant is swallowed, some people and pets may experience symptoms including nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Some who touch the plant may develop a rash after contact. While poinsettias are not deadly, the NCPC still advises those who plant to include the plant in their holiday decor to take every measure necessary to prevent children and pets from swallowing it. Placing poinsettias beyond the reach of kids and pets is one simple way to accomplish just that.

PET OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM

Many pet owners would never intentionallyharmtheircompanion animals. In fact, pet owners often go above and beyond to ensure their animals are well cared for and content. However, many well-meaning people may be inadvertently harming their pets with something they provide each and every day: food.

Obesity is on the rise among pets. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention says that 54 percent of dogs and 59 percent of cats in the United States were categorized as overweight or obese in 2016. That marks an increase from 52.5 percent and 58.3 percent, respectively, from four years ago. The majority of veterinarians think that pet obesity is a significant problem and nearly half of pet owners admit that their vets have discussed a pet’s ideal weight with them during pet health visits.

Hi, I’m Niko and my brother behind me is Angel. We both were rescues and our mom adopted us at different times, but we love each other a lot. We play all the time and love our walks. We even stick together when mom turns her head, and we sneak through the field to visit our neighbor. When we hear mom call us then we know fun time’s over and we have to go home.

Send us a photo and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Email to: sales@gvpennysaver.com or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

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.

Children face countless “hopeless” situations. Tying a shoelace, for example, seems totally impossible to the tiny tot who has not yet mastered the art. Adults, who have gone through this stage themselves, will smile and realize that soon the solution will be found and the “hopeless” situation resolved.

The frightening situations that we all must face from time to time may seem to be utterly hopeless. If we despair and stop trying, there is no hope. If we persist, hoping for an answer, our problems will prove to be far from hopeless.

You can be sure that your wishes will be followed by making arrangements for your funeral service in advance of need. All details will be handled exactly as you specify. Ask our staff about this.

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE

In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year.

Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.

In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, andtheAmericasallrecordedarounda5percentincreaseininternational arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. TravelAssociationsaysthatdirectspendingbyresidentandinternational travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.

Millennialsmaybeleadingthetravel-enamoredpack.TheUnitedNations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.

Infrequenttravelersorthosewhohavenevertraveledmaynotunderstand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.

1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.

2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.

3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.

4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.

Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

“There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them....”

YARD SALE TIPS

Be reasonable when pricing items. Be objective in your assessment of your things. What has value to you may not have as much value to someone else. Pricing items at one-third of their initial cost is a good starting point. This leaves room for negotiation.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to a 2011 study published in the peer-reviewed journal the Annual Review of Nutrition, experimental data from animal studies suggests that maternal undernutrition among pregnant women may play a role in preterm birth. The study also reported that a lack of specific nutrients during pregnancy may influence gestation length by increasing the likelihood that a woman will give birth before reaching full-term. Women who are pregnant or hope to become pregnant can speak with their physicians about the role nutrition can play in a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

Avoiding Holiday Shopping Scams

It’s that time of year again when we do holiday shopping, much of it online. It’s also the time when more scammers come out.

And what is it scammers want most? ey want your personal information so they can turn it into cash and fraudulent purchases.

Here are a few ways to avoid getting scammed online this holiday season:

Beware sales emails that include links, even if the email is from a store you usually use. ieves are very good at making their scam pages look genuine. Instead of clicking a link, open a web browser and go directly to the website itself. Sometimes the email will request that you update your account information. Instead, call the store and ask if they’ve sent out that request.

Beware the tracking emails you get with updates about packages that you’re expecting. Remember that genuine FedEx and UPS emails won’t ask for any personal information from you. Don’t click links. Go directly to the website.

Be careful where you shop online. Check reviews to see what others have to say. Avoid those with few or low ratings.

Consider using Amazon for most of your online purchases and having a Prime membership. Amazon is good at protecting customers when it comes to you receiving damaged items or not receiving any items at all. A Prime membership now costs $139 a year, but it includes free shipping, free movies and videos, and more.

If you are scammed, report it. Call your bank and the police, and then notify the Elder Fraud Hotline at 833-372-8311.

A goal for 2023: Go inside your bank to do your transaction now and then. Yes, it’s easier to just use the drive-up window for deposits and cash withdrawals, but there is a lot to be said for letting them put a face to a name. Once they know you and your banking habits, they’re more able to quickly identify anything that might be wrong.

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* The weight of all the ants on earth is greater than that of all humans.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* “During the holidays, our schedules change so much, it’s hard to keep track. I used to write and re-write our family calendar, but now I just make a grid for the days/weeks, and I use Post-it notes to enter parties, school obligations and anything that is a ‘maybe.’ It’s much easier to move around, and to add or delete events as needed.” -- via email

* “Fasten all buttons, snaps, fasteners and zippers on your clothes before washing and drying. It will help them keep their shape. Turn socks inside out, too. It will help prevent them from getting fuzzballs.” -- M.W. from Saskatchewan, Canada

* “I pick up extra coffee mugs from second-hand stores, then clean and fill them with hot chocolate packets, small coffees and wrapped tea bags and a few little chocolate bars. These make nice little gifts for friends and service people. I am on a fixed budget, but I find that I can be generous this way.” -- T.L. in North Carolina

* When mailing packages, keep in mind that secure cargo is tightly packed. You don’t have to buy expensive packing peanuts or bubble wrap; you can use what’s around. For instance, plastic grocery bags are always in abundance. They can be tucked into any spare room and they barely weigh a thing. Same with newspaper; fill all the available space so that nothing bounces around in transit. Save your bubble wrap for the following tip.

* “When mailing cookies, make sure they are packed well. Use an appropriate size container, and give layers some space by separating them with small sheets of bubble wrap. My cookies arrive intact every time.” -- J.J. in Florida

Makes 4 servings

SPICY STEAK TAMPICO

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.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Supplement With Good Potential Still Needs to Be Better Studied

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend with multiple health problems, mostly digestive and throat issues, who has recently discovered the supplement astaxanthin through his treatment with a nutritionist. He is extremely optimistic that this supplement is his ticket to better health. He said it was developed by a biochemical engineer. As a doctor, would you recommend this for your patients? He says it is a powerful antioxidant and reduces inflammation. He also believes it will destroy any cancer cells. -- N.H.

ANSWER: Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment related to vitamin A that was first isolated from a lobster in 1938. It indeed has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used as a coloring agent in salmon, and is also naturally found in salmon. Most astaxanthin sold commercially is synthesized from petroleum products.

As a supplement, astaxanthin has been best studied to treat and prevent skin damage from aging. Multiple small studies have shown that it can improve skin appearance and function when used orally or topically. There is also some evidence it can reduce DNA damage from ultraviolet light. The ability to reduce the type of damage that may ultimately lead to skin cancer is a far cry from the ability to “destroy any cancer cell.” There is no secret or hidden cure to cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration categorizes astaxanthin as “generally regarded as safe.” As I have often said, since supplements are not tightly regulated in the United States, you must rely on the manufacturer providing you with what they say they are, and there have been many, many instances where that has not been the case (in general, not about astaxanthin in particular).

Being conservative, I would say this supplement has potential, but I can’t recommend it until it has been better studied. ***

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. © 2022 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

CHARRED GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON VERBENA PESTO

Serves 2 to 4

Green Beans

11/2 pounds slender green beans

2 teaspoons olive oil

Lemon Verbena Pesto

1 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (substitute fresh lemon balm leaves)

2 garlic cloves

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4cuppinenutsorEnglishwalnuts

1/2 cup olive oil

Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Prepare a hot fire in your grill.

Toss the beans with olive oil and place in a perforated grill basket or wok set on a baking sheet.

For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese, and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree.

Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisp-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1/4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto or to taste.

DID YOU KNOW?

Halitosis, or bad breath as it’s commonly known, can result from any number of factors. While food can be a culprit, some additional factors may be contributing to mouth odor as well. Poor dental hygiene is a particular concern. According to Colgate and the American Dental Association, failure to brush and floss teeth regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma. Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath. Without adequate saliva production, particles of food that may cause odor are not swept away regularly. Bad breath also may be an indication of a medical condition elsewhere in the body. Upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal disturbances may contribute to halitosis.

Refresh Your Home for Spring Reorganize cluttered areas

If a room (or rooms) in your house are in disarray, start by reorganizing those often-used spaces to give them a like-new look and feel. Begin by removing everything from the room - including the furniture, if you’re ableand separate your belongings into boxes or piles based on what you plan to put back in the room, move to another location and throw away or donate. Once you’ve cleaned the space, resituate the necessary furniture then place items you’re keeping back in their places in tidy fashion so they’re easy to locate.

Door Prize

A highlight of every Farm Toy Show is the door prize that Doug Harke refurbishes and donates. As a member of the National Farm Toy Show Hall of Fame, Harke is known for his expertise in authentic and detailed restoration work. “ is year’s door prize is a Minneapolis-Moline 445 with New Idea loader. Real ones were produced in the late 1950s. is toy is a stock high-detail model with some minor modi cations. e model was produced several years ago by Spec Cast of Dyersville, Iowa,” noted Harke.

Since 1986

Harke’s three sons were members of Troop 4070 when he held a small farm toy swap in 1986 as a fundraiser. is is his thirty-seventh annual Farm Toy Show and Auction. Harke maintains a nationwide network of nearly 1,400 dealers and collectors. “Our dealers and collectors travel from twenty- ve states and Canada to attend. ey are very generous with consignment items. Dealers know that they can build a quality collection quickly through our auction,” says Harke.

Harke prints over 1,400 postcard invitations featuring a picture of the door prize. e boys of the Troop apply address labels and stamps during a Troop meeting. Harke takes an advertisement in Toy Farmer Magazine. e event typically sees over 1,200 people over two days.†

A Community A air

At the heart of the Farm Toy Show are the Scouts, says Geneseo Scoutmaster and Eagle Scout Bryan French. “Our Scouts will set up, receive, unload, move items at the auction, and sell concessions,” says French, “they make the show possible”.

Dann Auctioneers of Canandaigua will headline the auction Friday night, continuing a family tradition of over 20 years of service at the Farm Toy Auction. Steve “Doc” Wiener of Geneseo Rotary will run concessions again this year.

Local supporters include Geneseo Kiwanis, M&R Automotive, Dann Auctioneers, Geneseo Central School, and Sigma Tau Psi Fraternity and Omega Beta Psi Fraternities of SUNY Geneseo. ese local volunteers contribute over 600 service hours over the two-day event.

Impact of the Farm Toy Show

OverDoug’s37yearsofservicetotheTroop,morethan90Scoutsinour troop have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. At an average of 250 hours per Eagle Scout project, this means that the Farm Toy Show has raised over $210,000 and made over 22,500 hours of community service from our Scouts possible.

a er starting the

e door prize started with a custom tractor with a mounted plow in 2005. A picture of this tractor was on the postcard and our badge each year. A er exhausting the variety of domestic tractor brands, he has created one with a loader or a dozer blade in 2015.

“Farm equipment dealers used to sell farm toys only around the holidays. In the 1970s, manufacturers listened to dealers and decided to havethemavailableallyear. isledtoaninventoryboomforcollectors, and the hobby took right o ,” says Harke.”

RAVES

Avon Food Drive

Thank you to all the residents who responded to Saturday’s food drive when the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts went door to door. Sorry if we missed your house. There is a drop box outside the pantry and many others around town!

Cal-Mum MiddleSchool Veteran's breakfast

The Cal-Mum Middle School Veteran's breakfast was a genuine surprise. The students and faculty were so thoughtful and helpful, while the chorus singing was fantastic. I really felt humbled as I walked through the double line of applauding student faculty and principal. Wow! Thank you doesn't seem like enough to say.

Thank you!

Thank you to the wonderful people who bought our drinks for us (they were a wonderful couple with 2 beautiful children). Then there were 3 awesome people who were across from us who paid for our dinner. This was my birthday celebration on Election Day. My husband has Alzheimer's disease and had a stroke. He was overwhelmed with emotions. We were so moved that complete strangers would think of us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our only child is out of state and she does everything she can for us, but with 4 children and a husband who travels all over the country she couldn't be here this year.

Genesee Valley Penny Saver readers are the best!

We recently posted a plea on the Penny Saver's "Give and Take" feature for a headboard needed as a set piece for the Pembroke Junior Senior High School spring musical. (The Sound of Music -- you may remember the scene.) We were amazed at the number of people who took the time to call us and happily offer to give away what they had. We were so pleased when we found one close to home. We nevertheless called back all the others who had offered to help to thank them for their kindness and generosity. In these difficult times this is an example of American generosity, friendship, and kindness, irrespective of any political, cultural, or other differences. People found our call for help in the Penny Saver. They didn't need to call us, but they did. What a wonderful story and spirit with which to enter the upcoming holiday season!

Great Respondence of Village

A few days ago my roommate fell and ended up with broken hips and femur. I had to call for help to get him up. The service was great from the local ambulance and fire company. A special thanks to Billy, Town Supervisor, and the rest of the crew– keep up the great job! : ) The happy ending: my roommate is in rehab now on a slow recovery. Thank you all again; there are some good people in this small town. God bless you all.

Thank you!

On Thursday, 11-17, I was loading my car after shopping in BJs. I accidentally dropped my phone while I was doing this. I heard the noise but looked around and saw nothing, so I left and went home. Then I realized my phone was missing. The noise must have been my phone. I went back to the parking lot and found my phone standing up against the bottom of the shopping cart corral. Some nice person must have found it and took it out of harm’s way and left it where I would see it. Thank you so much. There are still good, thoughtful people in the world and you are one.

Parks Department

Thank you to all the County parks workers who take care of the parks all year. I spend a lot of time in Dewitt Park and walk around the lake. The park is always clean and the restrooms are well taken care of. I appreciate your hard work.

Thanksgiving Traditions WINNERS applepie

Our Thanksgiving tradition started in an e ort for all family members to play a game together, from the very young to the eldest of the group. I found some basic Thanksgiving-themed picture BINGO boards from the internet, broke out the colored pencils to give them some pizazz, and glued the boards on construction paper. 16 years later the tradition continues, with the same worn BINGO boards (including slight tears, faded construction paper, and water stains). Despite the tattered boards, kids and adults alike ask when we are playing BINGO on Thanksgiving Day to find out who will win the coveted prizes, which may include lottery tickets, small stu ed animals, candy, or mystery bags. This holiday tradition has become as important as the Thanksgiving parade, football, and turkey!

Jessica Beal

Every year, we put a small honeycomb tissue paper turkey decoration in the middle of the table. One of us inevitably puts a small pile of raisins underneath the turkey's tail. It's perfect because the turkey already has an embarrassed look on his face, so after the little "addition," he really has something to be embarrassed about.

Suzanne A. Lanyak

My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is Pie Day. Mom and Dad use to have us 6 kids all at their house for turkey day. Then we all got married and started having kids and the rooms were getting smaller and smaller. Mom decided to make the Saturday after Thanksgiving “Pie Day” where everyone brought pies. There were so many di erent kinds. After eating a big turkey dinner, who had room for pie? So Pie Day was perfect. You ate desserts all day. We would enjoy the daywith family and have so much fun and therewasn’t alot ofclean up after.MomandDadarebothgonenowandwe still have Pie Day. I’m sure Mom and Dad are watching and happy the tradition continues.

Donna Kubik

Break the wishbone for good luck. It may soundsilly,butthisisarealthing! Aftercarving the turkey, the wishbone, a Y-shaped bone that carries much superstition, gets set aside to dry. Once the meal is over, two people make their wishes and break the wishbone. Whoever ends up with the bigger piece is said to have their wish come true and good luck for the upcoming year.

Sherry Dalcin

Butter Lamb. My dad, who passed 10 years ago, used to cook our Thanksgiving turkey dinner and always purchased a butter lamb for the middle of the table. Now every Thanksgiving I buy a butter lamb for our table and thank him for this special family tradition that keeps his memory alive.

Dawn Johnston

Our thanks to all for sharing!

ROOMS CAN SERVE DOUBLE DUTY

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, kids’ play areas and home theater lounges that are possible in homes with substantial square footage. But they may not be missing out at all.

While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help owners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact, and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.”

Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger spaces, they just need to equip rooms to perform double duty.

TO DO WHEN A PROJECT STALLS

RESTORE RUSTY TOOLS

Many people may be tempted to discard rusty tools that have gone unused and sat in a garage or shed for a significant period of time. But tools encrusted with rust do not need to be relegated to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have to toil for hours scraping and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar. Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part ofthetool.Soakthetoolovernight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water and dry thoroughly. Then return it to regular usage.

WAYS ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS CAN IMPROVE THEIR RÉSUMÉS

Rather than emphasize what you did, highlight what you plan to do. This means giving greater weight to the expertise that will translate into your new position. Chances are you can find skills that you honed in one or more jobs that translate into credentials that can be used on another. All of the skills mentioned should be relevant to your career objective and not just added to pad the résumé. Therefore, unless your brief stint waiting tables exemplifies how you developed customer service skills, eliminate it.

4 EASY WAYS TO CREATE MORE TIME IN YOUR DAY

Managing one’s time can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. As a result, adults with hectic schedules and multiple responsibilities may pine for an extra hour or two in the day. While it’s impossible to extend a day from 24 to 26 hours, there are ways for busy men and women to create more time in their day.

1. Embrace organization tools. Whether it’s day planners, smartphone reminders or more traditional print calendars with meetings and deadlines written on them, organization tools can greatly cut back on time spent trying to remember and/or confirm meeting times, project schedules, deadlines, and other obligations.

2. Assess your productivity. Some people are most productive in the mornings, while others do not hit their strides until after lunch. Identify the time or times of day when you tend to be most productive, and make an effort to focus exclusively on work during these times. Resist any urge to schedule meetings or conference calls during those times of day when you are most productive, as it can be hard to multitask or focus when discussing projects with coworkers or clients.

3. Minimize distractions. Social media, the internet and texting can distract attention away from tasks that must be completed, ultimately affecting howquicklyandefficientlysuch projects are finished. Make a concerted effort to avoid social media and the internet while at work, and turn off smartphone alerts that entice you to go online. In addition, turn off text alerts if they are proving too great a distraction.

4. Reconsider your commute. Professionals who drive to work but find themselves sitting in traffic on their way to and from work can investigate possible alternatives to driving themselves. Public transportation might not get you to work more quickly than driving yourself, but time spent on a bus or train can be used to work on projects and check and answer work-related emails, clearing up time later in the day. Time spent behind the wheel of an automobile cannot be safely spent working.

Must have own quality tools, ood work ethic and people skills. Great pay for the right person. T

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS references.Leave on amicable terms and ask your former employer for a reference. You should not burn any bridges, as a good reference can be invaluable as you look

You love what you do, now love where you do it.
