Good day! I am Butterball, I am 12 years old and my daughter is Storm who is 7 years old. We really want to get to know you, Storm is shy initially but is super friendly too once she’s comfortable. We are both very sweet and used to live in a home with young children, (NOT toddlers) other cats and a dog. Can we please come and live with you together so I know my little girl will be all right? We would love to be home in time for the scraps of turkey! The CCC is in need of supplies, especially litter (Scoop Away), bleach, laundry detergent, dry and wet cat and kitten food (Purina/Friskies), paper towels, trash bags, and treats! Any help is very much appreciated! We are located at 289 Thompson Road in Webster and are open Thursday through Sunday 12pm-3:30pm.

Those who need to increase their B vitamin intake also can turn to turkey. According to Livestrong, a serving of turkey has 36 percent of the daily allowance of vitamin B3, which helps process fats in the body. It also contains 27 percent of the RDA for vitamin B6, which helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, among other things. In addition to these vitamins, turkey also is rich in many minerals, including iron, phosphorous, potassium, and zinc.
Turkeys are seemingly everywhere come November, whether it’s at your favorite grocery store, on television cooking shows and possibly hanging out in the wild of a nearby nature preserve. Turkeys are the main course for many holiday dinners, and turkey leftovers also make for popular meals once holidays have come and gone.

ALL THINGS THANKSGIVING Keep safe this holiday season and avoid medical mishaps The holiday season might not be the most hazardous time of the year, but there is an uptick in safety concerns during this season of festivity and fun. Components of the holiday season such as decorating, shopping, celebrating, and traveling, carry some risk. The National Fire Protection Association says 30 percent of all home fires occur during the months of December, January and February. Christmas trees and decorative holiday lighting displays contribute to the uptick in fires and other accidents between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. But fire is not the only concern during the holiday season. Revelers who celebrate a bit too much can pose a threat, as can road weary travelers or overnight guests who unknowingly put loved ones in harm’s way during their stays. Thankfully, many accidents that occur during the holiday season
are avoidable if holiday celebrants focus on safe ways to celebrate. • Choking: All of that entertaining and partying means more food is consumed. To keep up with the hustle and bustle of the season, many people must eat on the go. The National Safety Council says nearly 3,000 people in the United States die each year from choking. Taking small bites and chewing completely, while also avoiding talking while chewing, can help. Children should be kept away from small decorations, as even pine needles can be a choking hazard. • Toxic plants: Some plants, including pointsettias, mistletoe and holly, can be toxic to pets and young children whose smaller bodies may be more vulnerable than adults’. When decorating, consider decorating with artificial plants instead of live, potentially poisonous plants.
intoxicated tends to increase during the holidays. Implementing strict “designated driver” rules and making contact information for taxi or ridesharing services readily available to holiday guests can prevent tragedies.

ALL THINGS THANKSGIVING Tips for less stressful Thanksgiving travel People travel far and wide come Thanksgiving weekend. No matter how people choose to travel, many find holiday traveling to be taxing. The motorist group AAA says that roughly 43 million people travel at least 50 miles from home for the Thanksgiving holiday. With so many people flying the friendly skies or on roads or railways, there is a good chance individuals will encounter delays and some frustration. Minimizing the challenges associated with holiday travel means following a few tips that can make the experience a bit easier. Flying • Book flights early. Come the holidays, last-minute deals are few and far between. The best way to ensure you get the flight time you want for the best price is to book as early as possible. Some people book their tickets a year in advance if they know they will be traveling on Thanksgiving. However, a safe bet is to do so two months before so you will have the pick of options, including seating family members
together and avoiding connecting flights. • Cheaper flights can be had on Thanksgiving. If you want to avoid crowds and save a little money, consider traveling on Thanksgiving Day. Long lines and bigger crowds peak the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. That's because travelers want to be at their destinations in advance of the food being placed on the table. However, if you're traveling west, you may be able to take advantage of the time change and book an early flight -and still make it to dinner in time. • Know security protocol. Visit the airline's Web site or give a call in advance to learn the Dos and Don'ts of your carrier. Since the terror attacks on September 11th more than a decade ago, security measures at airports have continually changed. Know the restrictions in regard to liquids or toiletries to save time and ensure you make your flight. • Pack lightly. Baggage check and claim can take up precious minutes. If your Thanksgiving trip will be brief, bring along only one carry-on per person (the amount allowable

for most airlines) and easily board the airplane. • Arrive early. Arrive at the airport as early as you can, ideally 2 to 3 hours before your flight. This enables you to check in bags and get to the gate. Should you have to make changes to seats at the gate or
take care of any other necessities, you'll have peace of mind that being late won't hamper those plans. Driving • Save up personal time and leave work early. Peak travel times for Thanksgiving driving include Wednesday afternoon when many

If you leave then, there's a good chance you will be sitting in traffic with the thousands of other travelers who decided to get a head start by leaving at 3 p.m. If you can, take off from work on Wednesday and leave in the morning. Or do the bulk of your driving at night. • Pack a GPS device with you. Busy holidays could mean a greater propensity for accidents or traffic jams.

A guide for health and well-being for you and your family. • Go sparingly on alcohol. People seldom realize how quickly calories from beverages can add up. A 12-ounce glass of beer has about 150 calories, a five ounce glass of red wine has about 125 calories and a 1.5-ounce shot of gin, rum, vodka, whiskey, or tequila has about 100 calories, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Furthermore, alcohol lowers inhibitions, so you may be more likely to overindulge in more spirits or extra food when intoxicated.
• You can’t buy back calories with exercise. Putting in a marathon exercise session the next day probably will not undo the damage done from overeating the night before. Maintain a consistent workout schedule all through the holidays. Holiday weight gain is not inevitable for those who take control and exercise discipline.
