INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY

It took a long time for Memorial Day to become a federal holiday. Despite tracing its origins to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, Memorial Day did not become an official federal holiday until 1971, more than a century after the war ended.This is the same year the holiday was officially designated as taking place on the last Monday in May. The designation has periodically drawn the ire of veterans and military supporters who suggest it is now more widely seen as the unofficial beginning to summer and not a day in which the sacrifices of fallen U.S. soldiers are honored to the extent that they should be.

Low Iron Levels Might Affect Blood Donor’s Depression

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am wondering if there is any link between low iron and depression/anxiety. I am a 37-yearold woman, and I started taking Lexapro a few years ago. I upped my dose last year because I wasn’t feeling great, and my doctor and I decided that it was a good step to take. During the years that I have been taking Lexapro, I have also been a regular blood donor. I am CMV-negative, so I have blood suitable for newborns. The Red Cross says I am a “hero for babies,” and I enjoy doing something good. I haven’t donated in about five months, and I am feeling significantly better regarding my depression. I know that donating blood affects iron levels, but does it also affect the concentration of Lexapro in my body? If not, can low iron be contributing to my depression? I would love to know the answer so that I can possibly continue to donate, perhaps less frequently. -- J.M.

Magic Maze

ANSWER: First, thank you for donating so regularly. CMV is a virus most people have been exposed to, and like most herpes viruses, it stays in the body forever. Newborns and premature babies, as well as organ transplant recipients, need CMV-negative blood, and there aren’t many CMVnegative people who can donate.

Depression and anxiety are both tightly linked to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Lexapro doesn’t increase serotonin, but it does make the transmission of serotonin from one nerve cell to another more effective by reducing the reuptake of serotonin at the nerve junction. Low iron levels have been shown to reduce serotonin levels, so this may be part of the reason why your depressive symptoms have been worse.

However, there are many other reasons, both inside and outside of your body, that can make depressive symptoms worse. Still, if you do have low iron levels, you can replace iron faster and keep it normal, despite blood donation and menstruation, with an iron supplement. (It would be best to check with your doctor on this.) If your depression gets better, then this would be pretty good evidence that low iron does affect your mood. (Note: You can have low iron and not have anemia at all.)

Find the right donation frequency so you can still help without putting your mental health in danger.

American Legion Auxiliary Names Abygale Fernaays 2024’s Poppy Girl

BY SUZIE WELLS

Abygale (Aby) Fernaays, a 4th grader at Pavilion’s Dorothy B. Bunce Elementary School, has been named 2024 Poppy Girl through the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 576 in LeRoy. Aby’s family honors Memorial Day every year, she says, “by remembering the sacrifices of the men and women who have given their lives for our country.”

e American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as its memorial flower in 1921 and started the national Poppy Program in 1924 to prevent commercialization of the flower. Volunteers distribute millions of handmade poppies annually, raising funds for active-duty military, disabled veterans, and their families.

e tradition began with Canadian medical officer, Lt. Col. John McCrae’s WWI poem, “In Flanders Fields,” published in 1915, that immortalized the poppy as a symbol of remembrance:

In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, at mark our place; and in the sky e larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw e torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

In 1918 when Moina Michael, a Georgia teacher, read the poem in a Ladies Home Journal while at a YMCA conference, she was stuck by the final stanza, and she was so moved that she responded with her own poem:

We Shall Keep the Faith

By Moina Michael

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew!

We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red at grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies at blood of heroes never dies, But lends a lustre to the red

Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead.

Fear not that ye have died for naught; We’ll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields.

Michael bought poppies to wear and to distribute widely. us began the tradition of poppy distribution to remember war veterans.

According to Deborah Feneran, American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Chairperson, Michael’s tireless efforts on behalf of disabled service members earned her the “Poppy Lady” title, and Michael exemplified the Auxiliary’s motto of “Service Not Self.’”

e LeRoy American Legion Auxiliary Unit was organized in 1922, with the first Poppy Chairperson named in 1928. e Auxiliary nominates a 2nd-4th grade Poppy Girl each year to help distribute poppies especially over Memorial Day weekend. is year, Aby becomes a junior member of the Auxiliary, participating in the parade, and o en placing flags near the monument in LeRoy’s Trigon Park in memory of veterans who passed the previous year.

Feneran says, “ is is always a successful campaign, and we are able to do so many wonderful projects to support our veterans.” Poppy funds support active duty, disabled, and hospitalized veterans and veterans in nursing homes. Easter and Valentine baskets, Christmas gi s, and gi cards go to veterans in need and their families. e poppy program supports the VA medical center with equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers, offers meals to veterans throughout the year, and supplies Christmas wreaths for local veterans’ graves at the Western New York National Cemetery in Pembroke. Funds also support the LeRoy American Legion #576 Honor Guard, who give the area’s fallen heroes Final Honors at funerals, with rifle volleys, Taps, folding/presenting of the American flag and the spent shell casings that represent Duty, Honor, and Country.

Here’s A Tip

* From charcoal grilling expert Kingsford, here's a great tip to use when grilling chicken: "When applying a dry rub to chicken pieces, it's o en hard to keep the rub affixed and it's even more difficult to keep the chicken's original, golden color. Try painting chicken pieces with yellow mustard prior to applying the rub. Not only will the rub stay in place, your final product will be visually appealing -- without any trace of mustard flavor."

* When wrapping vegetables in foil packets to grill, make the seams on the sides. is way, the veggie packets can be turned over for even cooking and to avoid burning on one side. You can even label the outside of the foil in permanent marker. It won't affect the taste of the food.

PAW’S CORNER

How to train an excited, reactive dog

Simply Perfect

WEDDING INVITATIONS

Created just for your big day, we've put together sets of stunning wedding invitations to perfectly match your style.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 1-year-old puppy, “Shellie,” gets very excited when she sees another dog approaching. Because she’s already 26 pounds, I’m worried that she’ll soon break away from me while on walks. What can I do? -- Glen H., Plattsburgh, New York

DEAR GLEN: Keeping control of your dog on the leash is such an important skill -- and there is a way to achieve that with Shellie.

First, work on curbing overall reactivity. Does Shellie get really excited when the leash appears? Does she practically drag you out the door for walks? Get control of that first:

-- Bring out the leash, but don’t put it on Shellie right away. Wait until she’s calm, then attach the leash.

-- Next, walk away from the door. Lead Shellie around the house. She’ll be pretty confused, and that’s fine.

-- Stand at the door and have her sit. Open the door slightly, then close it. Repeat. Repeat again until Shellie is staring at you like, “are you nuts?”

-- Now, exit the house, but only if Shellie stays by your side or slightly behind you. If she tries to rush out, repeat the door exercise.

Now, let’s address that reactivity on walks. Here are a few tips that can help:

-- A sturdy, short leash is essential to maintaining control.

-- Train Shellie to walk at your side with a little slack in the leash.

-- Work on core commands when no other dogs are around: Come, Sit, Stay, Heel.

-- Place yourself between Shellie and an approaching dog. Move her to your other side and keep her slightly behind you. You’re her protector right now.

-- Avoid practicing “meet and greets” with other dogs until Shellie is no longer reactive on sight.

ese training methods are just a start, but they’ll put you both on the right track. Most importantly, be consistent with training and daily walks.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY

Confederate soldiers were honored, too. Confederate losses during the Civil War outnumbered Union losses, and those losses were not forgotten by southerners who survived the war.History.com notes that,in 1866, the Georgia-based Ladies Memorial Association, one of many similar organizations to arise in the aftermath of the war, pushed for a day to honor fallen Confederate soldiers.In fact,these efforts are believed to have influenced GeneralJohnA.Logan.In 1868,General Logan, a Civil War veteran who was then serving as commander-in-chief of a group of Union veterans, ordered the decoration of Union graves with flowers on May 30.The day would ultimately be known as “Memorial Day.”

On May 27, 1939, a ship carrying 937 Jewish refugees is turned away from Cuba. The ship sailed close to Florida, hoping to disembark there, but a State Department telegram stated that the asylum-seekers must first “await their turns on the waiting list and qualify for and obtain immigration visas.” After appeals to Canada also were denied, the ship was forced to sail back to Europe.

Instructors, please be nice to parents and children. Learning to drive, teaching your child to drive, and taking a road test are all stressful enough. Please be kind and courteous. Greet people with a hello and leave them with a goodbye or to have a nice day. It will go a long way for a moment that both new drivers and parents will remember for a long time. If you are having a bad day don’t pass it on to the community members you are serving. It is not an easy job, I am sure, and maybe it is not where you want to be. However, while you’re there, be nice. - Parents

Imagine my delight when the manager at Save-a-lot in LeRoy walked up to me and said: “The gentleman out at the propane bought you a plant, here’s the receipt”! By the time I got up there he was gone. Your wonderful gesture mad not only my day, but I had my 3 little granddaughters with me who talked all the way home about what a wonderful world we live in that people would do that to surprise someone they don’t even know! There are 4 people who will look at that beautiful plant all summer and smile at life’s surprises. Thank you!

Awesome Service

District Budget Notice

Stunning Local Scenery

I love springtime when all the flowers start to bloom and the street comes alive. I know I can’t be the only one who gets a smile to my face.

Got our District Budget Notice. I have to ask, why do we need more NEW school buses time after time? Students graduate, new students begin Elementary school. Does the overall student population change that much to justify more buses? Or are buses that are 3 or 4 years old undrivable and unsafe? We have mechanics at most schools to maintain them. I have to drive my car into the ground because I can’t afford a new one every couple years. Then budgeted new Chromebooks. Are students keeping them after graduation? Are the schools reusing what they already have? I don’t see any statistics showing how many NEW students the budget increased for. Feel free to enlighten me if I’m wrong. Please make it simple so I can understand the facts without being manipulated by long, drawn out verbiage meant to confuse and hide real numbers.
