Ely S. Parker:
A Legacy Bridging Two Worlds Began in Genesee County
BY SUZIE WELLS
Ely Samuel Parker, born Hasanoanda in 1828 on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation in current Genesee County, stands as a significant figure in both Native American and U.S. history. Raised in Seneca traditions but immersed in Western education and diplomacy, Parker’s journey represents the blending and sometimes clashing of these two worlds.
Parker attended a Baptist mission school at which he adopted the name Ely Parker, and where he studied Latin, Greek, and science, and excelled as an orator. His language and oratory skills impressed Seneca elders, who selected him to translate, scribe, and interpret for the Seneca when he was just 14. (2). He became a crucial figure in their appeals to the newly forming U.S. government, and when treaties threatened to remove the Senecas to Kansas, Parker was instrumental in navigating challenging negotiations.
A er his experience in Washington, Parker sought a law career but was denied entry to the New York bar due to discriminatory citizenship requirements. Unfazed, he turned to study civil engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Albany, later working as a resident engineer to expand the Erie Canal. (3).
During this time, he was proclaimed Sachem of the Six Nations, working tirelessly to secure the rights of the Seneca to their lands. ese cases led to a Senate treaty allowing the Tonawanda Senecas to reclaim over 7,000 acres of their homeland, a rare legal victory in Native American land rights. (1).
Securing a position with the US Treasury Department, Parker met and befriended Ulysses S. Grant. When the Civil War broke out, Parker offered to raise a volunteer Iroquois regiment for the Union but was rejected by the NY Governor. In 1863, Parker was appointed an engineer in the Army of the Tennessee thanks to Grant, and when Grant rose to command the Military Division of the Mississippi, Grant promoted Parker to adjutant, and by the end of 1864, newlyappointed General-in-Chief Grant appointed Parker Military Secretary with lieutenant colonel rank. Parker notably played a historic role at Appomattox in April 1865, where he rendered the surrender of General Robert E. Lee. At this significant meeting, Lee remarked, “I am glad to see one real American here,” to which, Parker famously replied, “We are all Americans, sir.” (1, 4).
Parker continued to serve as Grant’s secretary until the general’s retirement from the Army in 1869. Grant, becoming President of the US, reportedly “created a sensation in 1971 when he appointed Parker the nation’s first Native American Commissioner of Indian Affairs” (4). In this role, Parker helped implement Grant’s “Peace Policy,” which aimed to protect Native populations and reduce military conflicts. However, his tenure was marred by accusations of misconduct by his political adversaries, and though a Congressional investigation cleared him of wrongdoing, Parker resigned in 1871, leaving government service under a cloud of controversy. (1, 2).
Parker’s later years were a period of humility and introspection. He tried his hand on Wall Street but lost his investments within five years and returned to civil service as a clerk with the New York City Police Department. Parker also re-engaged with his Seneca heritage as poet Harriet Maxwell Converse reignited his interest in
Haudenosaunee culture. Reflecting on his life and the sacrifices he made for acceptance in American society, Parker experienced a renewal of his identity as Do-Ne-Ho-Ga-Wa. (2).
In his final years, Parker struggled with health, passing away in 1895 in Fairfield, Connecticut. In 1897, he was buried with full military honors and interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, NY beside the grave of Red Jacket, completing a symbolic return to his roots. (1, 2).
Parker’s legacy endures, celebrated on the 2022 Native American Dollar Coin, “depicted in his Army uniform with a quill pen and book, “symbols of his experience as an expert communicator, according to the Tonawanda Indian Reservation Historical Society in Akron. Inscriptions ‘TONAWANDA SENECA’ and ‘HA-SA-NO-AN-DA’ recognize his tribe and birth name. (3).
According to PBS’s documentary, A Warrior in Two Worlds, Parker was a controversial figure considered a hero by some and a traitor by others, as he tried to balance the two worlds of his Indigenous heritage and the demands of his adopted nation. (2).
As we consider American Native American Heritage Month, consider ancestors (or contemporaries) who may struggle to “walk in two worlds” as well. Check out the historical artifacts celebrating the region’s Native American history throughout the hallways of the Tonawanda Indian Community House in Akron.

INFLUENTIAL
JAZZ MUSICIANS
Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.
National French Toast Day falls on the day of Thanksgiving. It’s the perfect time to make some French toast and sit and watch the Thanksgiving Day parade with your family before the festivities begin!
Here’s the first thing you need to know
The French do not call this French toast. It’s called “pain perdu,” or “lost bread,” because you can literally use stale bread to make it.
Most experts agree that Fren toast dates back to ancient Rome. A similar recipe can be found in the book of Apicius from the 5th century BC. The Romans dipped slices of bread in milk (and sometimes eggs) before frying them, and called it “Pan Dulcis.”

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DURING THE HOLIDAYS
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last anksgiving, we had the scare of our life. Our little dog “Mamie” jumped onto the counter and ate a huge amount of the stuffing that I had just scooped out of the turkey! She got sick almost immediately and threw up, but because she kept drooling a erward I rushed her to an emergency vet. Mamie spent a few days at the vet getting supportive care because the ingredients in the stuffing affected her so badly. She’s completely recovered now, but please warn your readers to keep pets away from the kitchen and dining room during holiday festivities. -- Paul and Diane G., Norwood, Massachusetts
DEAR PAUL & DIANE: I am so relieved to hear that Mamie is OK! As you noted, many of the delicious, rich foods we eat during anksgiving and Christmas contain ingredients that are poisonous to dogs and cats. Onions are one culprit, but garlic, avocados, grapes (and raisins), macadamia nuts and chocolate can also cause serious illness and death if ingested. Foods or candies sweetened with xylitol can be deadly to pets. Alcohol and caffeine can also sicken them.
While preparing the feast, keep pets out of the kitchen. When guests arrive and you begin to serve treats and drinks, that’s the time to sequester your pets for the duration. Place them in a quiet room with water, treats and their favorite toys. is keeps them calm and allows you to focus on your guests. It also prevents them from getting into foods that could harm them.
Finally, for pet owners who think, “My big dog ate a chocolate bar once and it didn’t hurt him at all” -- it’s a bad idea to assume that your dog isn’t at risk because they got through an earlier scare unscathed. Protect your pets this holiday season, and enjoy many more to come.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* Need a quick batch of cookies? Keep a box mix of cake on hand. Instead of the listed ingredients, add two eggs and a half-cup of oil to the mix. Mix and shape, then bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. ey are really good, and you can get pretty creative.
* Inexpensive gi idea: A cute holiday coffee mug with a bar of chocolate, a packet of hot cocoa or instant coffee, a peppermint stick and a holiday pick. Place inside a gallon-size zipper-top bag, tie with a ribbon, then trim off the zipper-top, leaving just the plastic. Looks nice.
* Instead of going out and buying extra items to have on hand for guests, just borrow from your neighbors. Extra towels, place settings, silverware, kitchen appliances: It’s a pretty good bet that someone on your street has it for you to borrow. If you don’t know your neighbors well enough to ask, maybe you should start planning a get-to-knowyou party right now.
Hocus Focus

Doctor Recommends Bisphosphonates Due To High Frax Score
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an active, 5-foot-2-inch, 125-pound, 72-year-old Caucasian woman without a history of known osteoporotic risk factors, other than demographic ones. I exercise daily, eat calcium through food, take 2,000 units of vitamin D, and follow a Mediterranean-style diet.
My last dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan showed a T-score in my spine of -3.3 and a T-score in my hip of -2.7. My Z-scores were 0, and my FRAX score showed a 15.4% overall risk of fracture, with a 4.4% risk of a hip fracture in the next 10 years. Overall, my bone density went down 6.5% for my spine and 5% for my hip, compared to three years earlier.
My primary care physician has recommended starting bisphosphonates. My preference would be to postpone medication for at least a year, while I work with a dietician and a physical therapist to refine my exercise program and try to build bone more effectively. But I also don’t want to take foolish chances with a spine or hip fracture.
At my request, I received a referral to a specialist, but I cannot see her for four months.
How accurate are the results of a DXA scan? I have scoliosis from my childhood; could it affect the accuracy of the test results? Would any other imaging, blood or urine tests be appropriate to provide additional information or indicate if there are other causes of bone loss, besides age and gender?
ANSWER: The most important number here is the FRAX score, which combines your clinical risk (age, gender, height and weight, ethnicity, steroid use, smoking, previous fractures, alcohol use, etc.) and your bone density results from your DXA scan to provide an estimate of the overall fracture risk. It also provides an estimate of the most dangerous type of fractures: hip fractures. It’s freely available at frax.shef.ac.uk/FRAX/tool.aspx.
Your results are above the recommended threshold for medication, which is either a total-fracture risk of 20% or a hipfracture risk of 3%. Among the different options, most experts would choose a bisphosphonate drug like alendronate, based on decades of experience and strong data. However, a very low T-score (worse than -3) makes some experts choose a different type of agent -- a PTH analogue like teriparatide. Your scores have dropped a lot quickly, so I definitely recommend treatment. I do understand why you are hesitant. These drugs can cause more harm than good when they are not used correctly, and many of my patients are concerned after reading others’ experiences. But when used properly, generally for three to five years, they are very good at preventing fractures.
Scoliosis can affect the accuracy of DXA tests, but the tests usually underestimate the severity of osteoporosis in people with scoliosis. Furthermore, the fact that both your hip and spine have osteoporosis makes the diagnosis pretty certain. A Z-score of 0 means your bone density is at a level that is expected for your age and sex. This means that a secondary cause is unlikely; however, the T-score still indicates osteoporosis. Four months may seem like a long time, but it’s entirely reasonable to wait on deciding the optimal medication until you see the expert. She is likely to do additional testing and give you more personalized information.

Dangerous E-Bike Riders
I left my wallet/phone in a cart at Henrietta Wegmans. When I realized it, I went into major panic mode! I drove back to Wegmans, nearly hyperventilating. At the Customer Service Desk, I saw it on their back counter, and we were reunited. I can’t even explain the relief I felt. To the person who turned it in - you are the best that ever lived!! You probably can imagine how panicked I was. I wish I could give you a big hug!! Thank you, thank you, thank you SOOO much!! God bless you!
Lately, I’ve come close to hitting e-bike riders riding on the wrong side of the road, in the dark, without lights and going way too fast. Bikes in their purest form are designed to help the rider get an assist going up hills. Some e-bikes are nothing more than simple motorcycles going way too fast and, in this case, riding on the wrong side of the road. You are a danger to yourself and others.
Help the Reindeer and The Birds
Simple act of kindness
Thank you to the gentleman who stopped November 14 on Summers Street, Livonia to check on my welfare. I had just given blood and felt faint which prompted me to sit down on the ground. His kindness and concern warmed my heart and reminded why I love small town people. A simple act of kindness changes everything!
Around this time of year there is a craft project often done with young kids to make reindeer food. This mix of seed, grains and glitter is sprinkled outside to feed Santa’s reindeer. It is mostly eaten by birds and other wild animals. Adding glitter to this food endangers the life of animals. The chemicals in glitter can damage immune and reproductive systems. Also, most glitter is made from PET plastic. It can break down and release chemicals that disrupt animal hormones. When making reindeer food, please leave out this toxic ingredient and make a product that is safe for all. Your kids won’t miss the glitter and you’ll be helping out wildlife.

Jamaica Lime Pie Serves 6
Filling
4 large egg yolks
1 large egg white
1 14-ounce can sweetened
condensed milk
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 partially baked 9-inch pie crust, chilled Meringue
3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons sugar
To make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and egg white until they are very thick and lemoncolored. Stir in the condensed milk, lime juice and salt until well blended. Pour into the chilled pie shell. Refrigerate for several hours to allow the filling to set.
Shortly before serving, make the meringue. Preheat the oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with the cream of tartar until they form soft peaks. Gradually beat in the sugar, and continue beating until it is dissolved. By then the meringue should be stiff and glossy. Spread over the filling, being sure to seal the edges well so that the meringue will not shrink.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until delicately browned. Let cool away from drafts.
SHOPPING LOCALLY
earned money. Your local merchant is working just as hard to earn your money. And when you choose to not support your local merchant and shop outside your community or county, you’ve robbed yourself of the benefits of your money staying where you live.
THINK LOCAL, especially at this gi ing time of year. Make it a Merry Christmas for all of us because, ‘it matters!’
businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a fellow neighbor.
Create job opportunities
Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, along with their employees. Small businesses are the largest employers in the United States. That’s also true in Canada, where 68.8 percent of the total labor force works for a small business. A person may never know when he or she - or a relative - will need a job. Keeping small businesses viable provides a strong job market for locals.
Keep more money in the community
The Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays.
Enjoy a more local flavor
National retailers and other businesses follow a global business model that may not allow for much customization, but small businesses can provide products or services that relate directly to the needs of the communities they serve. These same small businesses may also be more inclined to work with local vendors and start-ups than national companies that have global supply chains.
WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES
Shop at small businesses regularly.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the U.S. Department of Labor and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, registered nurse is the most common occupation for women in the United States labor force. Slightly less than 2.1 million women worked as registered nurses in 2017, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Such figures are harder to come by in regard to Canada, but Statista reports that the labor participation rate among women in Canada in 2018 was right around 64 percent. That rate marks a slight decrease from its 21st century peak in 2005, when 66.7 percent of women were active members of the Canadian workforce. In the United States, more than two million women worked as secretaries or administrative assistants in 2017, making these professions the second most common occupation among female workers. Elementary and middle school teachers was the third most common occupation for female professionals, employing more than 1.9 million women in 2017. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau also indicates that women have the lion’s share of jobs in an assortment of professions, including preschool and kindergarten teachers, secretaries and administrative assistants, childcare workers, and dental assistants. Women hold at least 92 percent of the jobs in each of those professions in the United States. Funded

After the Nov 17th Buffalo game, the Associated Press reports, “Josh Allen came out of his cage... He’s gone out there and silenced critics and detractors with one impressive effort after another this season.” Allen and McDermott downplayed it as just Week 11, “This is not the finish line.” With seven weeks left, what do you think about Buffalo now?
- It’s not all about Allen, but they’re now heading toward the Big Game. - I never lost confidence in their projection.
- This was a surprising week.
- I don’t follow football.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.
The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort.
Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they needtogetby,theymightthinkit’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.

TURKEY TERMS
WAYS ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS CAN IMPROVE THEIR RÉSUMÉS
Rather than focusing on job responsibilities at each job you held, gear the résumé around what you achieved in each position. This will help identify how you performed in the position, instead of just a general retelling of what you did. It can be challenging to achieve this for jobs that don’t naturally lend themselves to numerically quantitative results (i.e., increased department sales by 15 percent), but it’s still possible to use a résumé to illustrate your achievements.
Ratherthanstatethatyouwereresponsibleforprovidingcustomerservice, explain that you built your reputation on conveying difficult technical terms to the layperson, serving as the go-to employee for translating job jargon for outside correspondence.
If you have quantitative proof of how you accomplished something, certainly add it. This can include measures of profit growth, reduction of debt or increase in customer base.
