DID YOU KNOW?

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

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

GIFTING THOSE WHO LIVE FAR AWAY

Food can be a one-size-fits all gift. Exploring the offerings of food gifts, one will quickly find there are all types of options. If a recipient is living overseas or on the opposite side of the country, gift a favorite local food from his or her hometown. Cookie or fruit bouquets can be shipped and are universally enjoyed gifts. Treat towers, popcorn, cheeses, and much more are available for holiday giving.

MAKE HOLIDAY SHOPPING EXCURSIONS SPECIAL

Make it a date night. The thought of shopping may not conjure up ideas of romance, but if time is short, couples can use shopping excursions as an opportunity to spend time together. Visit a coffee shop or a bar for a nightcap afterward and enjoy some one-on-one time. Parents can enlist the help of a babysitter to keep children entertained while they enjoy some uninterrupted time with each other.

GINGERBREAD GOODNESS

Gingerbread is a broad term that can describe anything from a firm and crispy cookie to a moist, soft cake. Traditionally, gingerbread is seasoned with ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and other aromatic spices. Molasses and brown sugar counteract the spice with sweetness. North Americans have been baking gingerbread in various shapes or forms for more than 200 years, and the recipes even pre-date the American revolution. However, gingerbread dates back even further to the Shakespearean era, with The Bard having mentioned it in one of his plays. Gingerbread’s name can be trace to medieval England and once referred to any kind of preserved ginger. The term went on to reference ginger-flavored cakes in the 15th century, and gingerbread eventually became popular throughout the world. Even though gingerbread cakes and cookies have been made for centuries, Germans are often credited with creating gingerbread houses, according to Smithsonian. They were probably modeled after the witch’s candy cottage in the German fairy tale, “Hansel and Gretel.” Even though gingerbread can be made any time of year, it is particularly associated with the Christmas season,withgingerbreadmenand other fanciful shapes turning up on cookie platters.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

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.

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.

CHRISTMAS TREES BRIGHTEN THE SEASON

Decked out in tinsel, lights, ornaments, and garland, Christmas trees are enduring symbols of the holiday season that boast a rich history. Evergreentreeshavebeenusedtocelebratewinterfestivalsforthousands of years, and eventually became associated with Christianity. Plants and trees that remained green all year held special meaning to ancient peoples, and were purported to keep away illness and evil spirits.

Germans were credited with tying evergreen trees to Christmas celebrations.Inthesixteenthcentury,devoutChristiansbroughtdecorated trees into their homes. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, is believed to have first added lighted candles to these trees after he was inspired by twinkling stars in the night sky.

While early Americans found Christmas trees an oddity, the tradition, brought over by German settlers, eventually caught on. Today, between 25 and 30 million natural Christmas trees are sold in the United States each year, states the National Christmas Tree Association. Trees are grown in all 50 states and Canada.

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

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!

DOS AND DON’TS OF HOLIDAY SAFETY

DON’T underestimate the things that can and will go wrong when hosting for the holidays. Take a deep breath, assess the situation and stay calm through any hiccups.

In autumn this great

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 purpose in the old form are burnt up. Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire. ~Hugh Macmillan

DENTED WORDS

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.

EASY ‘GREEN’ THANKSGIVING IDEAS

Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies.

The United States Department of Agriculture projects that Americans will throw away more than 200 million pounds of edible turkey meat this Thanksgiving holiday. And Thanksgiving typically ushers in a period of wastefulness,astheU.S.EnvironmentalProtectionAgencysaysAmerican householdsproduceroughly25percentmoretrashbetweenThanksgiving and New Year’s Day than during the rest of the year.

Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions.

APPRECIATING FRUITCAKE:

A much-maligned holiday staple Certain foods are synonymous with the holiday season. Thanksgiving turkey. Holiday cookies. Fruitcake. While those first two make mouths water. fruitcake rarely inspires stomachs to rumble in anticipation. But fruitcake is more than just somethingtogoignoredonholiday serving tables. Fruitcake can be chewy, crunchy and wholesomely rich, making it something holiday hosts will be proud to serve to their holiday guests, who might just come away with a whole new appreciation for fruitcake.

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

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.

* 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.

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.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles

Scammers: More Dangerous an Ever

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the feast-time of the year When hearts grow warm and home more dear; When Autumn’s crimson torch expires

To flash again in winter fires; And they who tracked October’s flight

Through woods with gorgeous hues bedight, In charmèd circle sit and praise The goodly log’s triumphant blaze. ~Harriet McEwen Kimball (1834–1917), “The Feast-Time of the Year,” c.1880

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.
