Hometown connection

Hearty stews and belly-warming soups are coming out of the kitchens; frost is sparkling, and winter jackets are coming out of hiding. Families are craving slow-cooked, savory meals that yield health benefits and leftovers. Delicious, savory winter-recipe ingredients that will surely satisfy are white beans and Oso Sweet Onions, an onion grown at the foot of the Andes Mountains. Onions are not only believed to be a cancer preventative, their low-salt, low-fat health benefits are the proactive equivalent to superhero powers. Onions have 25 compounds that lower blood pressure and cholesterol, prevent thrombosis, inhibit strokes and battle heart disease, says the American Heart Association. Plus, the antioxidants and flavonoids found in onions don’t lose their potency once cooked. This makes them ideal for slow-cooked recipes. They add a punch of flavor and a whopping serving size, making them an affordable luxury during the chilly winter months.

Enjoy dining out with kids

Offer plenty of praise: Always let children know when they are doing a great job and behaving well in a restaurant. Engage kids in conversation and keep them entertained. Boredom or attentionseeking behavior can make dining out with youngsters more difficult to manage.

A treat or a special reward (sticker or coloring book) can be offered to a child who behaves when dining out.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.” -- Helen Keller

Brittney Griner, an American basketball star who had been imprisoned in Russia on drug charges, was traded for Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer. Russia was unwilling to consider releasing another detained American, Paul Whelan who has been imprisoned since 2018. Do you think President Biden made the right call by swapping Griner without also securing Paul Whelan?

• Absolutely

• He made the right call despite only securing one of them

• He should have waited for a joint trade

• No, negotiating any trade sets a dangerous precedent

“He went to the church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and for, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of homes, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed of any walk, that anything, could give him so much happiness. (p. 119)”

Thank you for returning my wallet.

I want to say thank you to the gentleman who chased me down at Peppermints Restaurant on Tuesday 11/22 to return my wallet. There are some caring and honest people in this world. You saved me some real anxious moments because of the important materials I had.

Super Care at Highland

On 11/11, I was at Highland (6W) for an ailing gallbladder and a drain insertion. After the procedure, an excruciating pain overcame me, with pain so severe I could not sit down, my breathing became labored, and sweat poured from my body. Nurse Kari realized I was in trouble and stayed with me for 2 different meds to be put in my IV until the pain was brought under control. It took a while, but she stayed to ensure that the pain issue was resolved. Justin patiently helped me learn the procedures for caring for the drain system at home and rehearsing with me to be successful. There were many fine nurses who are working diligently to ensure their patients get wonderful care! Many thanks to you all!

It’s Stealing

This is to the people who got far more change back when paying for their meal. The check was around $50. You gave the waitress/server $100. They returned and gave back almost the same as the food bill. Sure the waitress/ server gave the wrong change, mistakes happen, but keeping that money is nothing less than STEALING. The waitress/server had to pay that back from their own money. Keep in mind all the security cameras. Do the right thing and return the money. Then if you return again you would be welcomed for doing the RIGHT THING.

Helium is Limited

Do you know that helium is an element? That means it cannot be manufactured. When the world's supply of helium is depleted, there is no replacement. Did you know MRI machines require helium? Despite this crucial medical need and other industrial needs, people persist in buying helium balloons, thereby promoting the waste of this element. Once introduced into the air, helium cannot be reclaimed. Recently, a local memorial event was publicized on TV news where people released hundreds of helium filled balloons. Not only is this a waste of helium, but the balloons eventually come down, causing litter and a danger to wildlife. There are dozens of respectful ways to honor a death that are not polluting and wasteful.

Follow-up Colonoscopy Necessary After Result of Eight Polyps

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 73-year-old male. This year, I had a colonoscopy. They found some small polyps and one larger polyp. All polyps tested negative for cancer. I have had two previous colonoscopies in the past 10 years. Polyps were found in each one. My gastroenterologist said I should have another colonoscopy in one year. There has been no colon cancer in my family. As you age, is it safe to continue with a colonoscopy? I don’t feel safe having one every year. At what age should seniors stop having a colonoscopy? My previous gastroenterologist told me to have one in five years. I do a stool test yearly, given by my primary doctor. -- F.Q.

ANSWER: I read your reports, which showed a total of nine polyps, all “sessile” (flat, which is higher risk for development into cancer than those with a stalk), the largest being 8 mm. The pathology report confirmed these as tubular adenomas, none of which had the worrisome finding of high-grade dysplasia. The official guidelines of the American College of Gastroenterology recommend a follow-up colonoscopy in three years. I definitely agree with that in people who are otherwise healthy. Colon cancer does definitely run in families, but at least 80% of colon cancer occurs in people with no known family history, meaning you can’t be complacent even if there isn’t any history in your family.

There is no absolute age cut-off for screening colonoscopies: Age 75 might be reasonable in someone who really doesn’t want to have another and whose previous results have all been normal, but I would be unlikely to recommend a screening exam in a person older than 85. People who have serious medical conditions outside the intestinal tract get less benefit from screening.

Age 73 is not so old that I would recommend against screening in otherwise healthy people, and given that you have had eight polyps, I definitely recommend a three-year follow-up. I don’t know why the gastroenterologist said one year, based on the reports you sent me.

DENTAL PICKS VS WATER FLOSSERS VS INTERDENTAL BRUSHES

Dentists often recommend a minimum once-daily interdental cleaning (cleaning between your teeth). There are several ways to do an interdental cleaning at home, and traditional flossing is just one option. Floss picks attach floss to a device that allows you to hold a handle as you floss, rather than holding the floss itself. These are a good option for hard-to-reach spots or for people with dexterity limitations. Water flossers use a pressurized stream of water to clean between teeth. The pulsating water compresses and decompresses the gums, forcing bacteria out. Interdental brushes are the most effective interdental cleaning tool and use a small fiber or rubber brush that fits between teeth. They come in different sizes for more effective cleaning. Keeping your gums healthy and strong by conscientiously giving them the attention they need is your best defense against the harmful buildup of plaque that can ruin your brilliant smile.

And not only do floss, either alone or on a floss pick, water flossers, and interdental brushes do a thorough job of cleaning between teeth, their gentle massage provides the bonus of also make your gums feel good. At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we’ll do all we can to bring your oral health to its maximum potential. Time for some serious consideration to your teeth and gums? Call us at 585.343.4246 for an appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre. P.S. Although water flossers are not considered to be effective at removing plaque, studies suggest they may still be more effective than traditional flossing.

Snowboard your way down the mountain to the finish, but watch out for wrong pathways, ponds, & abominable snowmen!

STORY TIME Originating as a father’s gift to his daughter, the idea came from gluing two skis together to make a wide enough seat for the girl to sit on as her father pulled the skis together to let his daughter surf on the snow. The toy became so popular among his daughter’s friends that demand for the same toy started coming in from people and the man had to license the concept to a manufacturer for mass production. Can you guess who the father was? It was Sherman Poppen, an engineer from Michigan.

Local Ceremonies Set for

‘WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA’ Event Honoring Veterans

BY MARK OBBIE

velvet bow. e event is meant to recall the sacri ces that veterans and their families made by serving far from home during the holiday season.

Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonpro t organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine businessman Morrill Worcester in 1992. Wreaths Across America is on the web at wreathsacrossamerica.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/WAAHQ

Tnational Wreaths Across America Day.

e Bristol Hills Historical Society registered the two sites as o cial Wreaths Across America participants – Bristol Center Cemetery in the town of Bristol, and Coye Cemetery in South Bristol – and researched the names of the 52 veterans buried in the two cemeteries. e historical society then asked local residents to sponsor the purchase of holiday wreaths, which will be placed on the graves in ceremonies honoring each veteran individually.

e ceremonies, timed to coincide with the national event, will take place at noon on Dec. 17 at Bristol Center Cemetery, 4471 State Route 64, and at 2 p.m. at Coye Cemetery, at the corner of State Route 21 and Bopple Hill Road. e public is encouraged to attend.

e local organizer of the Historical Society’s events, A.J. Magnan, Commander, U.S. Navy (Retired), said the designation of the two cemeteries was a test of the local enthusiasm for the Wreaths Across America program. Local sponsors far exceeded the goal of 52 wreaths, allowing the Historical Society to place wreaths at a third cemetery – Wilder Cemetery, where town co-founder Gamaliel Wilder, a Revolutionary War veteran, is buried.

“We were grati ed by the support local sponsors showed for this project,” Magnan said. “ is will help us expand to more local cemeteries in future years.”

e Wilder Cemetery ceremony, adjacent to Founders Cemetery in South Bristol, at 5903 State Route 64, will take place a er the Coye Cemetery ceremony.

e 30-year-old Wreaths Across America project places millions of wreaths on veterans’ graves in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and overseas. e wreaths are handcra ed in Columbia Falls, Me., of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red

e Bristol Hills Historical Society is a 501(c)3 nonpro t organization that was formed in 2020 through the merger of the historical societies of Bristol and South Bristol, N.Y. It cares for two of the region’s most distinctive historic buildings, the 1923 Grange Hall in Bristol Springs and the 1846 Methodist Episcopal Church in Bristol Center, both of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. e society’s website at bristolhillshistory.org and Facebook page at facebook.com/bhhistorical provide calendars of upcoming history presentations and other events, articles on local history, and a convenient way to become an annual donor at levels starting at $15 for individuals and $30 for families. More information on the local participation in Wreaths Across American can be found at bristolhillshistory.org/honoring-our-veterans.

FOOD ALLERGY FAST FACTS

Food allergies can develop from birth, and some last a lifetime. Others are developed at different ages and may be outgrown. No matter when allergies stop or start, they can be a life-threatening problem for children.

Although food allergies may be managed more easily at home, they present different challenges for school-aged children. School nurses and administrative officials should be informed about food allergies, especially if they are severe enough to warrant medical intervention, such as medication.

Food allergies are quite common. Consider these allergy facts that can help parents better understand any issues their children might face.

• The Food Allergy Research and Education network says nearly 15 million people in the United States, many of whom are children, are affected by food allergies.

• One in 13 Canadians, or roughly 2.5 million people, are affected by a food allergy, according to estimates from the Allergy, Genes and Environmental Network.

• Around 7 percent of Canadian children under the age of 18 report having at least one food allergy.

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have other related conditions, such as asthma and other allergies.

• Food allergies are an immune system response to the food, not a case of digestive intolerance.

• Among food allergic children, peanuts are the most prevalent allergen, followed by milk and shellfish, says the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

• Food allergies can cause everything from mild reactions, such as itchiness or hives, to anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially deadly reaction.

• Risk of food allergies increases when there is a parent who suffers from any type of allergic disease - even those beyond food allergies.

• A recent study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that children are taking longer to outgrow milk and egg allergies.

• Food avoidance remains the best way to prevent symptoms of food allergies. That is why reading product labels is vital.

HOLIDAY FUN FACTS

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* B.G. in Minnesota writes: “If you want to freshen up drawers with sheets, pillowcases or in your luggage, just place a dryer sheet inside. They really do leave a nice scent, and they are also great for dusting jobs!”

* To control the level of garlic in a recipe, add it at the beginning for a lighter taste and at the end for a stronger taste. To get garlic out of the clove quickly instead of tedious peeling, just smash it and squeeze it out.

* The best cure for a foggy windshield is a chalkboard eraser. You can purchase them at office supply stores. They can be stored easily in your glove box. No window cleaner required for a quick clear windshield, and you can see well after. A clean windshield is a safety issue! -- M.T. in South Carolina

* Fill measuring cups with hot water and empty quickly before measuring sticky substances like honey or peanut butter. It will slide out much easier.

* Banana trick: For faster ripening, leave bunches together and store in a bag. For slower ripening, separate the bananas. They will ripen faster if stored near apples or citrus fruit. Also, remember that just because the outside is getting brown spots, the inside isn’t necessarily going soft.

* Warm up refrigerated baked goods in the microwave, but add a mug of water. It will keep the moisture in the bread. If your bread loaf is going stale, wrap it in foil and pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 300 F. It will freshen the bread!

A er Neutering, Follow the Veterinarian’s Advice

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I believe strongly in natural cures and treatments for people and pets. Recently, my tomcat, Jessup, went to the vet to get xed, to stop my neighbors from complaining about his aggressiveness. I used herbal tinctures and supplements to prevent infection and reduce Jessup’s pain so that he wouldn’t have to take antibiotics and other medications that might harm his health long-term. When I told this to the vet at Jessup’s follow-up, she got really upset and said that if I did that again, she would no longer accept Jessup for treatment. I don’t understand why. Who’s in the right here? -- Sherry L., Los Angeles

DEAR SHERRY: While herbal supplements can be helpful for pets, it’s very important that you share with the veterinarian any current or intended use of these supplements.

For example, some prescribed drugs can interact with supplements and prevent a pet’s liver from properly metabolizing those supplements, causing a dangerous buildup of toxicity.

Vets today will work with pet owners to make sure that prescribed medications don’t interfere with, or interact with, herbal or vitamin supplements. But you have to be upfront and list any and all remedies that you’re giving to your pet. is is especially important with higher-risk procedures and surgeries of any kind, including neutering and spaying. A small pet’s body is especially reactive to pain and infection, and it’s important to keep them comfortable and avoid hampering their body’s ability to heal.

Work with the vet. Follow their advice. Ask questions before a procedure and disclose the supplemental treatment that you’d like to give your pet. Veterinarians will work with you on an e ective treatment plan because, just like you, they want your cat to be healthy and happy.

Readers, how well do you get along with your pet’s veterinarian? Let us know at ask@pawscorner.com.

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.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term. If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.

DID YOU KNOW?

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