MAKE THE HOLIDAY SEASON MORE MERRY

Make a fire in a fire pit in the yard and toast marshmallows while sipping hot chocolate.

The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to Literature, summer the tissues and blood.

~ John Burroughs, “The SnowWalkers,”1866

DID YOU KNOW?

Kwanzaa traces its origins to Africa and is celebrated across North America and other nations that have large populations that trace their heritage to Africa. The holiday begins on December 26 and continues until January 1. The main components of the celebration include family, community and culture. Kwanzaa was not designed to replace Christmas. In fact, many Kwanzaa celebrants also celebrate Christmas. The word “kwanzaa” is from the Swahili phrase “Matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first fruits.” Maulana Karenga, the professor who created the holiday in 1966, chose Swahili as the language associated with the holiday because it isn’t affiliated with a particular African region or tribe. At the heart of the holiday are seven principles that celebrants embrace and follow: unity, self-determination, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Even though the holiday was created for African Americans, many other ethnic groups are inspired by the foundations of Kwanzaa and choose to join in the festivities.

* Early cosmetic surgeons used a procedure known as paraffin wax rhinoplasty, in which they would inject hot liquid wax into a patient’s nose and mold it into the desired shape. Not only was this dangerous, but, no surprise, it really didn’t work.

POTENTIAL INDICATORS OF ROOF TROUBLE

Moss: Moss on a rooftop may give a home character, but that added character is costly. Shady areas of a roof can be susceptible to the growth of moss and fungi because moisture can be trapped in such areas. If possible, remove moss or fungi from a roof with a stiff brush or hire a professional to do the job instead. Moss may come back even after brushing it off, so homeowners should keep an eye on areas of their roofs that get little sunlight. In addition, trapped moisture can be very harmful to a roof, so it may be wise to exercise caution and have roofs with mold or fungi growths inspected.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles

Do You Feel Isolated?

Researchers must be worried about us. ere are hundreds of studies done around the world on the topic of isolated seniors and how it’s bad for our brain and physical health. While we can appreciate their concern, it would be nice if they could all agree on the facts they report.

A Norwegian university has released the results of a report on maintaining brain health and preventing cognitive decline. ey’ve concluded, a er reviewing 101 other studies, that social activity is important, along with physical exercise and interesting hobbies.

One study praised us for following the Covid rules and staying home and not having face-to-face social activity, saying we mentally weathered our isolation better than any other age group. Another study said that we didn’t do well, that we su ered from sleep disturbances, depression and anxiety.

Another study analyzing information from before and during the pandemic concluded that yes, there was physical and social isolation, but not digital isolation. In other words, we’ve been online communicating with others.

One serious study looked at 12 possible relationships (friends, neighbors, family and so on) and concluded that being socially isolated made one more susceptible to the common cold.

Yet another study said that it was when the Covid rules were li ed, when we could go to stores and back to our meetings, that our real stress started.

In the U.S., 27% of seniors over the age of 60 live alone, as opposed to several other countries where multiple generations live together. One thing researchers need to consider: Some seniors might like the peace and quiet of living alone, might like having control about who comes over and when, and might prefer the independence.

Still, if you sense you don’t get out enough, go. Take a walk. Volunteer to walk a dog at the shelter. Stroll the aisles at the library.

Or don’t. It really is up to you.

The Park Theater

Cheers to the Park Theater in Avon for putting on such great shows - film and live performances. The latest performers were Chris Wilson and Brian Ayers, along with a terrific bass player, whose name I don't know, playing the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel. Their voices, harmonies and rendition of that popular duo was so well executed and fun to listen to, even the audience was spellbound. So nice to have such outstanding talent perform locally!

Atlanta Saviors

Thank you to all of the people who came to my aid when I fell and struck my head: the librarian who sat with me the whole time and called for help; the people who stopped and assisted; and, finally the emergency responders for their quick response. I cannot thank all of you enough for your caring and compassion. GB

Thank you!

Thank you so much to the two wonderful ladies who stopped their cars and the man walking his daughter’s dog who came to my rescue after I fell in my driveway on December 1st. They helped me into my house and stayed with me until my daughter arrived. They were so kind and thoughtful. May God bless them and may they and their families have a very happy holiday season.

HOMETOWN PHOTOS

Roof on HighMark Stadium Response

Remember, there are only about 10 weeks we use the stadium a year. Probably 4 or 5 (or more) of those are during good weather. That leaves the stadium sitting there 40+ weeks a year. That means heating, cooling and maintaining it for all those weeks when it is not being used. Even if a rare concert or other event appears, you can see the costs involved. Now set that aside, the addition of a roof would also add another billion dollars to the cost. I am not sure how happy taxpayers in Bayshore Long Island would be, or politicians in Albany. There is also the “Dome” losing syndrome. Not too many Dome teams have won the BIG GAME. In fact at one time no Dome team had ever won the BIG GAME until two dome teams faced each other I think in 2013 or so?? Just a guess. I would submit that if you think about it seriously, the Bills made 4 straight Superbowls, mainly because they did not have a Dome. There is an obvious strategic advantage in not having a roof.

Theft

Whoever stole all the quarters out of my car just at the beginning of the snow storm at a senior living facility, those quarters were there so I would always have my copays to pay for my medications. And you stole the only pair of gloves I had that I left in my car. Shame on you, I hope your parents are wondering where $30 in quarters and a pair of gloves came from. I have to let two of my meds go until mySS check now. Shame on you.

Parking problems

Please, to the people going in the senior apartments parking area lot, please some very old, from finding a parking spot. They then have to park way down which is such a long walk for those using walkers or canes. Be considerate and respectable. This lot is reserved for the Senior Apartments. There are signs. [local business] has plenty of parking across the street and right at the [local business] which many do not use. This is more problematic in winter for handicapped seniors. You are walking fine. Use the lot across the street from the [local business].

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Burned rice? No problem. While it’s still hot, carefully remove to a new pot any rice not browned or blackened. Then top it with a single slice of white bread. Allow it to sit for several minutes under a tightly fitted lid. The burned smell is absorbed by the bread, and the rice is fit to eat. -- M.U. in Michigan

* Plastic holiday tablecloths can be a festive addition to any family celebration. But what to do if you unpack yours and it’s wrinkled? Get those wrinkles out in a hurry with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer to a low setting, and gently run the warm air over the wrinkles. Smooth and set the table.

* Freshen rugs without the heavy perfume smell of store-bought brands; Simply sprinkle a little baking soda on your carpet and let it sit for about 10 minutes before vacuuming.

* Wrap the lint from your dryer in 6-inch strips of wax paper. Roll it up, twist both ends and you have a perfect firestarter.

* For light and unbelievably fluffy pancakes, try subbing the water in your recipe with club soda. Yummo. -- E.S. in Florida

* Add a few drops of water to votive cups before adding a candle. The wax will float on the water, and when the candle burns down, it won’t get stuck in the votive glass. -- O.J. in Wyoming

Swallowing Pills All at Once is OK, Unless Meds Shouldn’t Interact

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have always wondered if it matters if you swallow a bunch of pills in one swallow or if it would be better to space them out. I take a bunch, like Eliquis, dicyclomine, gabapentin, etc. -- B.A.

ANSWER: With most pills, it’s OK to take them as a bunch together if you can tolerate doing so (I’ve known people who have a tough time taking multiple pills at the same time due to gagging). There are a few combinations of pills that shouldn’t be taken together, such as tetracyclines and calcium, but these should be labelled clearly on your bottle. A few medicines, like alendronate (Fosamax), can’t be taken with any other medicines. Some medicines, including all the ones you mentioned, can cause sedation, which can be worsened if taken together. As always, your pharmacist is your best friend for questions about medication interactions.

***

DEAR DR. ROACH: Despite having family history of high cholesterol (including early death due to heart failure), I was told at 53 that my 10-year risk is not alarming. I do not smoke, nor do I drink.

I recently had some tests done and was told that my Lipoprotein(a) level is above normal. I am wondering if that may explain my concern of why, despite keeping a very careful diet over two decades (and a fairly good Mediterranean diet before as well) and an ideal BMI, my figures are not getting better. (I still have a high LDL, low HDL and high triglyceride count.)

After I recovered from COVID, I seemed to have a high pulse and was advised that my stress ECG is positive. I find aerobic exercise very challenging, but I keep active when I can. I tend to be anemic and feel tired very often due to heavy periods, but I take iron supplements. What should I do concerning my cholesterol in my blood? I am concerned that my high figures may indicate a serious silent illness. -- M.H.

ANSWER: The 10-year risk is a good place to start in deciding whether elevated cholesterol needs to be treated; however, the 10-year risk does not consider some risk factors, including the high Lp(a), which is an independent risk factor on top of your high LDL and low HDL. The Lp(a) doesn’t affect the other cholesterol numbers. Diet and exercise do tend to help cholesterol numbers and definitely help reduce heart disease risk, but it is possible to have cholesterol results that are not ideal despite a very good lifestyle.

A positive stress test is a concerning finding and is usually followed up by a definitive test for blockages in the artery, such as an angiogram. The results of that will absolutely guide your cardiologist as far as further treatment, including whether you need treatment for your cholesterol numbers. Although statin drugs do not reduce Lp(a), they do reduce the risk of heart disease in people with elevated levels of Lp(a). I follow the advice of experts who recommend a lower threshold for medication treatment in people with high Lp(a) levels, especially in people with a family history of heart blockages or heart attacks.

RELEASE, REFRESH, RESET

(NAPSI)—You don’t have to let a busy schedule break your healthy stride or keep you from crushing your goals. You can regroup on your approach instead. By incorporating these three ways to release, refresh and reset, you can still make health a priority.

1. Release Your Mind by Escaping into Nature. Getting out into nature gives you the space and peace to release the things that bog you down. Escape the rush. Try camping in the wilderness or taking a scenic hike. Studies show that surrounding yourself with nature can have positive effects on mental health. Ditch the office and try working outdoors at a picnic table or on a blanket in the grass. Wherever you go, whatever you do, sit back and breathe in the fresh air.

2. Refresh Your Exercise Routine with New Moves. Inspiration derives from new experiences, which is why exercise physiologist and Bowflex fitness advisor Tom Holland recommends mixing up your daily workout routine. “Give yourself the opportunity to explore andchallengeyourselfinnewways,”suggestsHolland.Tryanewworkout program, or an exercise machine that moves you in new ways, such as the breakthrough Bowflex LateralX (www.bowflex.com/lateralx) cardio machine. It strengthens and activates muscles with side-to-side, pushand-pull and stand-and-squat motions that target the arms, back, hips and core, as well as common trouble spots including glutes, hamstrings and quads. By moving in all directions, you mimic everyday activities such as yard work, housecleaning or chasing after your kids. It’s a new and exciting workout that can keep you motivated.

3. Reset Your Soul with Time for Yourself. In addition to carving out time for fitness, you need to make time for yourself. Creating positive energy in a chaotic world can be challenging but it’s important for overall health and well-being. You don’t have to be a yogi to meditate. Experts say to start small—try focusing for 10 minutes a day in a quiet place and don’t get frustrated if your mind wanders. It takes practice but the benefits are worth the investment. You may find you’re more calm and productive

you sleep better. Whatever helps you reset,

Holidays & Fences

BY DP DUNN

Did you grow up on a farm? Or perhaps a ranch?

I did not. But I’ve known farmers, and their children, and a few ranchers. One of their common traits is their extraordinary work ethic. Incomprehensible. And also incomparable. And what’s more, they have no idea why everyone else isn’t quite like them.

Hard work is normal to them. But, for the rest of us, it is an acquired skill. What we grow up with is ‘normal’ and we think everyone’s situation is nearly identical to ours.

Which brings me to fences. Properties have boundaries. Can’t have the chickens in cahoots with the cattle, nor the bunnies fraternizing with the sheep. And, while the deer are lovelyand tasty - we’ve got to keep them outta the garden if we want veggies for dinner. Fences set boundaries. Limits constrain, but also protect.

Relationships have boundaries, too, and sometimes they get crossed. When a relationship boundary is crossed, sometimes good things happen. Think of your irst kiss, or the irst time you heard the words “I love you” from someone other than a relative. There’s risk, and sometimes risks yield rewards. And sometimes not. Which brings me back to farmers and their work ethic.

Farmers know fences, and farmers also know that everything, including fences, occasionally need mending. Farmers “get right on it,” they don’t dally. They ix that fence and “set it right.” And so we need to do that also with relationships.

Retirement is great. Lots of time to spend reading, playing, praying, preparing, exploring—and mending fences. Writing is a form of time travel, really. No kidding. The written word can sit quietly; we change, but the words remain. Silent and powerful. Enduring. In no hurry to go anywhere just yet. Words can be revisited, revised; tweaked until they are ‘just right’ and say exactly what we need to express. The written word travels through time and lasts; the spoken word can disappear like morning mist or be misremembered.

But, to some really smart people, the spoken word is their preferred communication modality. That’s ine; not everyone was meant to be a writer. So, how to mend fences with words? Offered, for your consideration, is a simple outline: re-introduce yourself, share happy memories and gratitude, apologize if needed, and inally offer to reconnect.

A ictional* example follows:

Hi Linda. My name is Don. We went to [blank] high school together way back in the late 70s. I was going through some old photos and stuff from high school and found some things reminded me of you.

I remember joking with you in a couple of classes we had together, and causing some mischief in study hall. You were part of

the theater and band crowd if I recall, and had a great singing voice. I remember that you were in several school plays as well, and you were really talented.

There was one time that I really regret. You were auditioning for the big school play; I don’t recall what the production was. I was clowning around with friends behind the auditorium while you were on stage. The back doors were open—the audience saw me, but your back was to me. As you spoke your lines and segued into a song, I stood behind you and pantomimed your actions. I was a jackass, and I apologize.

But I managed to make it even worse. A day or two later, you confronted me, asking if it was true. I looked into your beautiful brown eyes and lied to your pretty face.

I never had the nerve to ask you out. And after that profound level of stupidity, I never would. I am deeply sorry; I regret lying to you and mocking you. I was foolish and stupid. I ask your forgiveness even though this occurred decades ago. I hope that you continued singing and acting and have found success and joy in these; you really were very talented.

And, at that point, I would thank her for reading, and offer an email address or other method to reconnect, if she wished.

The Holidays and coming New Year are time for renewal, regeneration, forgiveness, healing and fence mending. Even if your efforts go unacknowledged, you have done what was necessary and right. Be brave; reach out. Fix what needs ixing.

May you and yours enjoy a happy, healthy, safe, restful, holy Holiday Season & 2023.

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 in a stable where Jesus was ultimately born.

Did you know?

National Cocoa

Hot cocoa is typically made with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. However, some also call it hot chocolate, which causes a bit of confusion. Hot chocolate is made by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. Cocoa powder is made by fermenting, drying, roasting, and grinding cocoa beans. After this, the cocoa butter is removed, and we are left with only the cocoa powder. This cocoa powder is used to make hot cocoa.

Fun Fact

White chocolate isn’t technically chocolate. White chocolate contains cocoa butter but doesn’t contain any cocoa powder or cocoa solids.

et’s Safety Is Paramount at Holiday Dinners

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last year, I caught my uncle and aunt feeding our King Charles Spaniel, Doogie, food from their plates a er anksgiving dinner and pouring wine into a dish for him. As you know, holiday feasts have rich, fatty foods with ingredients that are bad for dogs, like onion, garlic, avocado and chocolate. Fortunately, Doogie only su ered a bit of indigestion.

is year, I added a list of rules to the anksgiving invitation, including: Do not feed the dog; do not leave plates where Doogie can reach them; do not give alcohol to the dog; do not let Doogie out of his kennel.

My uncle and aunt posted the list on Facebook and said the rules are the reason they will not come this year. ey’re trying to shame me for protecting my dog. Some of our other relatives commented on the post and said they might not come because of the rules, either. What would you do? -- Carole & Chuck in Marietta, Georgia

DEAR CAROLE & CHUCK: I’m no master of etiquette, but I can speak on this issue: e welfare of your pet comes rst.

Dogs will not turn down yummy food, especially if it’s bad for them. Dogs don’t know alcohol is bad for them. Many dogs don’t know how to handle the stress of a sudden crowd of strangers in the house. Dogs will react badly to inconsiderate handling. Dogs will take advantage of your distraction to reach abandoned plates and countertops laden with deliciousness.

Your rules about Doogie are reasonable. You can respond to the post calmly with your side of the story, and let the other relatives decide for themselves what to do. Best of luck.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* On average, a 4-year-old will ask 400 questions in one day.

* In 1978, DC put out a “Superman vs. Muhammad Ali” comic book. While the plot deals with hostile aliens, the book’s main highlight is the whooping Superman gets in a sparring match with “The Greatest”!

* The first-ever fashion magazine was sold in Germany in 1586.

* A French general, the Marquis de Lafayette, gave John Quincy Adams a pet alligator. Our sixth president not only kept it in a White House bathtub, but enjoyed showing it off to visitors.

* There is a town in India called Santa Claus.

* Selfies now cause more deaths than shark attacks.
