HOW TO ORGANIZE OFFICE GIFT EXCHANGES Avoid gifts that are overly personal. Steer clear of giving fragrances or cosmetic products because you do not know what the other person will like. Scented products also may send the wrong message, indicating you think someone needs to cover up with an aroma. Clothing is another gift to avoid, as certain items may be seen as suggestive and you may not be in tune with the recipient’s personal style.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2021
A Visit from St. Nicholas BY CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack. His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER Old batteries should be replaced before winter begins. Without a strong, properly functioning battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and five years. However, extreme cold can compromise batteries, especially those that have been around awhile. Batteries are made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery performance. According to AAA’s Automotive Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses 35 percent of its strength. Newer batteries can be protected by starting the vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you cannot take an extended drive.

Upcycling: Transforming the ‘Old’ into a Better ‘New’ Turn old or discarded furniture, cabinets and doors into fresh new creations through “upcycling” -- high-end “recycling” that reduces trash at landfills by refurbishing or repurposing existing pieces, often enhancing the value. Furniture or “yard sale finds”: These can be stabilized and given a new look through stain/paint or distressing, but some may also lend themselves to transformation for other uses, such as turning a chest of drawers into bookshelves, a chair into a swing, a dresser into a seat, and more.

a festive table on a dime
YOU
C AN
DO
IT!
Presentation is king when it comes to setting a memorable holiday table, and it needn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some essential tips that will garner rave reviews at your next gathering.
Mercury Glass It’s everywhere these days. From trees, to pumpkins, to candlestick holders, it’s timeless and transitions well from season to season.
Mix and Match Don’t be afraid to mix metallics. This gold flatware, purchased second-hand, is a standout.
Add Interest with Height A mix of faux and metallic pine trees give your table the height it needs. Be sure to place them strategically so your guests can easily see one another.
Start by scouring the house to see what you can mix and match to bring your table to life. Don’t be afraid to ask parents or grandparents for family heirlooms that they may be willing to part with. One of the best investments you can make is solid white porcelain dishes. You can get them for a steal at most places and they’ll take you through every season. For a fun twist, layer them with whimsical holiday plates. Solid red napkins add a pop of color, and when placed under the plates, there’s no need for a runner or placemat.
Be Resourceful Think outside the box. These heavy metal pinecones are confiscated from an old cuckoo clock. Add some freshly clipped greens and you’re good to go.
GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER
●
Wooden reindeer, real pinecones and mixed greenery take the textural feel to the next level. Snips of spruce or boxwood trees from the yard up the texture, and best of all are free. Details make all the difference. Adding personal placecards is a great touch that makes everyone feel special. How about adding a surprise lottery ticket to the bottom of a random plate? Sometimes a winner, and always a hit!

Experiment Pinterest is a great place to get ideas. Take a stab at different napkin folding techniques and see what suits your fancy.
Where to splurge This dining room table is a restored farmhouse table. It seats 22 people when all leaves are in. If you’re going to go all out, do it here and know that it will be enjoyed for generations to come.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Wild salmon may have greater nutritional value than farmed salmon thanks to the more diversified diet consumed by wild salmon.
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Dumping Syndrome and Obesity ---
DEAR DR. ROACH: A friend was given a test to see how long food stayed in her stomach after eating. She was told that it stayed only a short time before continuing its journey, a much shorter time than the average person. This was given as a reason for her obesity, that she experienced hunger sooner than most people. Does this really happen, and is there a way for her to manage it so that she can lose weight? -- G.J. ANSWER: A gastric emptying study is usually used to look for delayed gastric emptying, also called gastroparesis. It can be the result of several different types of nerve diseases, but especially diabetes. An abnormally rapid gastric emptying is also called dumping syndrome, and is often a problem after some types of gastric bypass surgeries. I did find a paper from the 1980s suggesting that obese people have shorter gastric emptying times. This was confirmed in a trial from 2015 looking at the diabetes drug exenatide (Byetta), which is sometimes used to help people lose weight, even if they do not have diabetes. Interestingly, exenatide was more likely to cause people to lose weight if they had faster gastric emptying times. I do not mean to suggest that fast gastric emptying is the only reason for your friend’s (or anyone else’s) weight problems. Obesity is a complex problem with no single cause or solution in most people. I am glad you wrote. I did not know about this research before, and it may be worth it for your friend to discuss a trial of exenatide with her doctor. ***
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. © 2021 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

ADVICE FOR BLOOD DONORS Unlike other marvels of modern medicine, quality blood is an important health component that cannot be created synthetically. Blood shortages continue to plague medical establishments across the globe. For those who require transfusions, blood from volunteer donors can be the difference between life and death. However, many people are apprehensive about donating blood because of their own unique fears of the unknown or from past poor experiences with the process. With a little knowledge and some preparation, donating blood can be made much easier. Confirming donors’ health: One of the first steps to donating blood is to determine donors’ eligibility. Potential donors undergo a short health screening and are asked various questions to determine their eligibility. The presence of certain illnesses or other disqualifications helps ensure that the blood will be healthy and that the blood drawn will not have a negative effect on the donor. The American Red Cross states that potential donors will undergo a pin prick on the finger to test for iron levels in their blood. This is to ensure that donors will not be made anemic from giving blood. Frequency of donation, weight and age also will be considered before prospective donors are allowed to donate blood. Many organizations urge prospective donors to avoid giving blood if they have had simple dental work done within 24 hours or major dental work in the past month. Dental work in general can dislodge bacteria, which can get into the blood stream and cause systemic infection. Preparing to donate: Potential donors are urged to eat a healthy diet full of iron-rich foods. It is adviseable to drink an extra 16 ounces of water or a nonalcoholic fluid prior to donating. A healthy, low-fat meal prior to donating also is recommended, as the Red Cross says fatty foods can adversely affect blood tests that check for infectious diseases, and the blood may not be used as a result. Needles are no big deal: According to Justin Kreuter, MD, medical director of the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Center in Rochester, Minnesota, while the needles used to collect blood are slightly larger than those used for immunizations at the doctor’s office, the needles have silicone on them to make the process of donating more comfortable for donors. Donation duration: Donating blood does not take a long time. It may take between 15 and 20 minutes for donation center workers to extract blood. Donating plasma or platelets may require more time. Allocate at least an hour to undergo the medical exam and to rest after the donation. Post-donation: Donors are urged to rest for a few minutes after the donating and to enjoy the snacks and beverages being offered. The Red Cross says people should avoid performing any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for the rest of the day after donating. It’s also adviseable to drink an extra four glasses of liquids and avoid alcohol during the day following a donation. Donating blood can save lives and reassure donors that they’re doing their part to help others. Page 13

PAW’S CORNER DOS AND DON’TS OF HOLIDAY SAFETY DO extinguish candles before retiring for the night.
NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson * Save the peel on oranges and grapefruits. You can toss them on a fire for a nice smell. CHRISTMAS COOKIES MADE SIMPLE Try a no-bake recipe. Creative culinary experts continually reveal their clever tricks, and many of these include no-bake versions of favorite desserts. No bake cookies come together in a matter of minutes, but still employ a host of delicious ingredients. Recipes frequently feature similar ingredients to traditional cookies, but rely on chocolate, honey or peanut butter as the setting agent to keep them together. Bakers may also like not having to turn on their ovens.

* Fold and snip a coffee filter into a paper snowflake. Lay over an iced cookie or cake to sift a sugar design on top. * “When planning to visit my hometown for the holidays, I set aside a few hours to take the kids to the park or a nice playground. I message all my old friends and classmates with kids (Facebook is great for this) a few weeks ahead of time and let them know when I’ll be there. It’s great to catch up while the kids play, and even if no one shows up, we still have a fun break.” -- F.L. in California * “When there are big family jobs to be done (like getting ready for the holidays), we write all the tasks down on slips of paper and put them in a hat. We take turns choosing tasks until all the paper is divvied out. Sometimes we trade, but we all get a fair chore list.” -V.O. in Oregon * Make a holiday cheese ball simply: Combine a package of cream cheese with a cup of finely shredded cheese (your choice) and 1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. Form into a ball, roll in coating of your choice (dried fruit pieces, chopped nuts, spices, etc.) and chill. Wrap in a pretty cellophane bag and bring with pita chips, crackers or pretzels as a hostess gift. * “Wax drippings from candles can be scraped off of most hard surfaces with the side of a credit card.” -- T.E. in Kansas

Visiting Yap Dog Ruins Holidays DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My sisterin-law insists on bringing her yappy, ill-tempered lap dog, “Mitsi,” to our house every Christmas through New Year’s. Mitsi gets along with no one but her owner, frightens our two cats and barks at everyone in the house during dinner, nonstop. I love having my brother and his wife over, but Mitsi is making things hellish. How can I politely ask her to leave Mitsi in a kennel during visits? -- Barked Out in Birmingham DEAR BARKED OUT: I don’t know that there’s a way to tell your sisterin-law to leave her dog at home that would be taken well. Mitsi clearly is a full member of their family and travels with her. Can a compromise be reached instead? Ask her if Mitsi can be placed in a separate room during mealtimes while they are visiting. She’ll probably still bark, but at least it won’t be right in your ear. You also need to discuss how Mitsi is stressing out the cats. Sometimes people think it’s funny when a visiting dog chases the family pets around, but it’s not fun for those pets. It’s like having a schoolyard bully walk right into your home. Try to keep the discussion civil. Ultimately, you’ll have to decide what level of compromise to ask for in order to keep peace in your house, and you’ll have to be firm. Your sister-in-law takes her relationship with her dog seriously; she should respect your concerns as well. That discussion probably won’t be comfortable, but if Mitsi’s barking and bullying are making the holidays a living hell, you need to speak up. Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

HOMETOWN PHOTOS Be careful, little eyes I love President Trump. You know what I hate? All the Biden flags and signs with FOUL language on them. I have a 9-yearold son and 6-year-old daughter who we are raising to be America-loving patriots. But when my daughter questions the meaning of the words on these flags, my blood boils. You do no service to our party or our innocent kids. You look uncouth and, yes, ignorant. Being a mom of kids in this insane world is hard enough without my own party letting me down. Please think of the little kids. Put yourself in the shoes of parents trying to protect innocence and decency.
S E V RA CMBB Raiders Coming from a “rival” school, I’ve just got to say how nice the people at the Football game in October were. They have an awesome facility. Lots of kids running around having fun and even the crew working in concessions were great. I’ve been to many schools we were playing against, and this one by far was the friendliest. You should be proud of your school and community.
Foreign aid correction To the person ranting about foreign aid to Israel at $10 million a day, your information is incorrect. The correct amount is approximately $3 million. I agree, still a lot of money, but my point is that if you are going to rant, please have your information correct.
Above & beyond The Humane Society of Livingston County would like to thank Dr. Ken Bedell and his staff at the Lima Veterinary Center for their outstanding service to us. He and his staff have gone above and beyond in their dealings with us. Whether it’s been dealing with an emergency or fitting in one more cat or kitten into their schedule, they are always friendly and willing to work with us for the betterment of Livingston County cats. We would not be able to do what we do without them, and we appreciate them tremendously.
Almost true The person who was lecturing on global warming started out okay, but then made the same mistake common to all the global warming believers including AOC and began blaming weather on global warming which meteorologists will tell you is not the case. They will know that the earth often goes through periods of temperature fluctuation. Previous to 50 years ago, how would we know if a polar cap melted? CA wildfires are the result of not doing proper forest management. Unlike global warming doomsayers, I am open to listening to ALL the science. We should work on things that are proven to cause global warming but not at the expense of our standard of living. Trust American ingenuity. Study carbon trapping instead of getting rid of gasoline engines with no real plan to replace them. Electric cars? CA’s power grid can’t meet the demands of their electric needs now, so how will they be able to charge the 14,894,912 cars currently registered in that state? Together we can find the answers! Pickup Spaces Why do stores place their pickup spaces as close to the store as possible? One [local store] in [local town] eliminated some handicap spots to install pickup spaces. If you are having your items delivered to your car, does it matter that the pickup spaces are close to the store? The pickup area could be at the back of the lot, and it wouldn’t matter to the customer. It is unfair to shoppers who need handicap spaces to have them moved so that people who stay in their cars can wait closer to the store.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles
Christmas Dinner Happens on the Sly The annual Christmas dinner at the senior center was a wonderful event, mostly because it didn’t happen at all. The original plan -- seniors sitting in a cold parking lot outside the center to eat food that would stay hot for maybe one minute -- was ditched by means of a petition to board members. That petition mentioned the absolute folly of the whole outdoor dining idea. The board’s second plan was to host the dinner indoors, but for only one-third the number of guests, with clear Plexiglas shields on the tables, which would interfere with conversation. There was a snap, an awakening, an audible collective click -- and the seniors said NO. The former recreation-center supervisor, who had quit after too many snarling meetings about yoga classes masked versus unmasked, was brought back to open the rec center. He’d fled to his cabin in the woods, tossing the keys to others, to sit out the insanity, at which point the town changed the locks. Once brought back, he quickly jimmied open the rec center door and installed a new lock, smiling the whole time. Organizers came together in secret with not a word said to senior-center board members (or the town council). Tables and chairs were borrowed. One of the town’s finer restaurants (the owner himself a senior) was coaxed into providing finger foods and drinks and two bartenders. A half dozen seniors who were in a band years ago regrouped to provide the music and play songs we actually knew. The annual Christmas dinner turned dance party was a major hit, and just what we needed after this long pandemic lockdown. We ate and we mingled and we drank and we laughed and we danced. And long after what should have been bedtime for most of us, we were still there dancing. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

“Yuletide” celebrates the birth of the Sun and also celebrates the “Mother” at the height of her “Greatness.” Pagans celebrate Yuletide in many ways; most will decorate a “Yuletide” tree, keep it in their homes until most of the leaves fall off, then burn the Yule log. In ancient Rome, the winter solstice was celebrated at the Feast of Saturnalia to honor Saturn, the god of agricultural bounty.
Can you draw the Winter Solstice Night Sky and Stonehenge? Stonehenge is one of the major structures associated with the Solstice, the other two being Newgrange and Maeshowe. Make sure to add lots of snowflakes and stars to showcase the night sky. GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

Caledonia’s Angry Rooster Joins Neighbors to Bring Holiday Warmth to Community BY KIMBERLY LONG
A
s the holidays approached this year, Helen Serafine, owner of Angry Rooster Deli in Caledonia, felt it would be “embarrassing to sit down and eat a giant turkey on Thanksgiving when some people won’t even get a bite.” Everyone who knows Serafine knows it is second nature of her to think of others. True to form, Helen Serafine had a generous solution. Serafine decided to host a charitable event to provide individuals and families with a dinner on Thanksgiving. On her restaurant’s Facebook page, she posted that the Deli would be “preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for those who might need a little help.” Signing up for this dinner simply required people to give their first name, number of diners, and time of pick up. Discretion was a priority, as it can be embarrassing for some to ask for help. To make this event even more accessible, Serafine offered delivery as well. After seeing the post on the Deli’s page, the community wanted to help. People from around the area stepped up and donated their time, money, and items including potatoes, gravy, cranberries, vegetables, squash, and over 15 turkeys. Serafine reflected, “Without the help from the community, this wouldn’t have been possible.” The Deli was able to serve over 100 people in Caledonia and the surrounding area.
Serving at Thanksgiving!
Along with the coat tree, a “gift tree” has been set up in the Deli. Tags with a description of people (often children) who might not have the opportunity to have the Christmas everyone deserves are hung on the tree like ornaments. According to Serafine, people have been snatching tags off that tree like no one would believe, and the tree is now empty. All these tags represent individuals who will now receive a gift from Santa this Christmas. Filling bellies, spreading warmth, and creating smiles this holiday season is what this community is all about. Helen Serafine strongly believes that without the help of the community, none of these charitable events could have been achieved. She continues to spread joy through her efforts to help those around her and hopes it keeps growing each year.
Volunteers prepare for an Angry Rooster Thanksgiving!
Serafine is proud to be a part of a community that steps up when people are in need. This was the second Thanksgiving dinner prepared by the Deli and its community. Serafine hopes that this charitable event continues growing each year. For now, the giving hasn’t ended here. Serafine and her fellow deli workers, along with others in the community, have placed a “coat tree” outside her restaurant on State Street. At night, people who need to stay warm come and take a coat from the tree. Serafine says she often gets to work in the morning to find the coat tree completely empty. It gets filled again as soon as possible to continue providing warmth to those who need it. Talk about spreading warmth to others!

PAYING IT FORWARD Judy and Jim would like to thank the kind individuals that paid for our dinners at the Strathallen hotel in Rochester on Sunday evening December 12. We are two 82 years old seniors that had a fantastic weekend (classmates from fourth grade through high school graduation) attending the Rochester Broadway theater league presentation of “PRETTY WOMAN”. At the conclusion of dinner, waiting for the check, the waiter informed us that 2 Brockport residents, that had to flee to the hotel, due to power outage from the high winds, had picked up our dinner tab as a goodwill holiday gesture of “paying it forward”. We will definitely pay this kind deed forward by making a contribution to the Elmira New York charitable Christmas fund called the Arctic League which provides Christmas gifts to underprivileged and poverty families in the greater Elmira area. Again Judy and Jim thank you very much and may all have a very Merry Christmas. Jim and Judy class of 1956.

Cut pre-cut trees before leaving the lot. Pre-cut trees can make it through the holiday season looking their best, but buyers should request that employees cut as much as two inches off the bottom of the tree before leaving the lot. Once trees are cut, sap begins to seal their base, making it hard for them to absorb water. By requesting that between one and two inches be removed from the bottom of the tree at the time of purchase, buyers are ensuring their trees will be able to absorb the water they’ll need to make it through the season when they get home.
