WINNERS!
Hi there, my name is Diva. Would you like a friend? I would love to have a friend. I quite like it in here, everyone is very kind, but I really don't like the other cats. I need to live with a loving person who is happy to just have me and no other cats. I'm calm and friendly and senior and sensible (they tell me I'm about 10 years old) but I don't like other cats. I would love to have a window to watch the world through and a warm and happy home but, please (did I mention it?) NO OTHER CATS. Love, Diva. 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. You can see more of our adoptable cats on Petfinder and Adopt-a-pet and we would love it if you would follow us and share our kitties on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com /pages/Community-Cat Connection/18375625177438.

Ask your employer if an employee purchase program and financial wellness benefit like PurchasingPower.com is available to your workforce. Some additional cost-friendly options for the holidays: • Suggest a family gift exchange. Spare the expense and frustration of trying to find gifts for each member of your extended family. Instead, pull names from a hat and find something special for just one person. For extra fun, play “Secret Santa,” keeping gift-giver identities concealed until the gift exchange. • Spend time together. In lieu of gifts, bring everyone together over the holidays. Have a board game night or a day of service, such as serving meals at a shelter. • Enjoy the season. There are many ways to celebrate spending little to no money. Curl up for a holiday movie marathon, bake cookies or look for free holiday concerts in your local area. Shopping malls and community centers typically offer a schedule of no-cost holiday entertainment. For a better financial start in the new year, spend wisely this holiday season. Smart budgeting and new payment options can make it easy.

ALL THINGS THANKSGIVING
ALL THINGS THANKSGIVING Celebrate Thanksgiving with foods from the first feast Thanksgiving is celebrated each November in the United States and each October in Canada. People traditionally gather around the dinner table flanked by friends and extended members of their families to give thanks for the blessings they enjoyed throughout the year as they dig into a delicious feast. Turkey is typically the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal. Although turkey can be a delicious and nutritious addition to the table, individuals looking to expand their culinary horizons may want to borrow from the other foods believed to have been shared among the Plymouth Colony Pilgrims and Wampanoag natives during the 1621 feast that inspired Thanksgiving. Waterfowl Wild turkey were available in
abundance in the New World, but historians believe that, during the first Thanksgiving meal, participants likely feasted on waterfowl instead of turkey. In fact, turkey wasn’t common Thanksgiving fare until after 1800. Waterfowl, according to National Geographic, includes ducks, mallards, swans, and geese. Those looking to experiment can take a break from turkey and make duck the centerpiece of their meals this Thanksgiving. Seafood Plymouth, Massachusetts, is located where Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean meet. As a result, indigenous people and the pilgrims likely relied on the bounties afforded by the ocean for their sustenance. Documentation of the first Thanksgiving by pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow indicates lobster, fish and clams were likely served. People who enjoy seafood or those who prefer to abstain from meat or poultry can embrace seafood at their Thanksgiving gathering.

Fruits and vegetables Fruits native to the region where the first Thanksgiving took place included blueberries, plums, grapes, gooseberries, raspberries, and cranberries. Cranberry sauce was an unlikely menu option because sugar that traveled over on the Mayflower was probably depleted by November 1621, according to History.com. Also, cooks didn’t begin boiling cranberries with sugar until about 50 years later. To recreate the first Thanksgiving, enjoy raw fruit as a tasty dessert, which can be healthier than sugarladen sauces. Vegetables to enjoy include onions, beans, spinach, cabbage, carrots, and corn. Corn was likely turned into cornmeal and pounded into a thick corn porridge. Experimenting with a cornmeal recipe can liven up this year’s festivities.
the popular potatoes that often accompany turkey at modern Thanksgiving gatherings. The potato was not yet popular enough among the English to warrant space on the Mayflower as it made its way to present-day North America. Purées of parsnips and turnips can be delectable on their own or used as a basis for a Thanksgiving soup. Pumpkin custard Although pumpkins and other gourds were available in the New World, baking was not yet popularized because of the lack of wheat flour. Instead, it is possible pilgrims would hollow out gourds, add spices with milk and honey, and then roll the gourds in hot flames to form a sort of custard. Home cooks can replicate a pumpkin custard in their kitchens and serve it in lieu of pumpkin pie.
Turnips Borrowing foods from the first Plant roots found in 1621 included Thanksgiving can expand menu parsnips and turnips, and not possibilities this November.

Dieting and dining out Dining out is big business. A 2016 Consumer Reports survey of more than 68,000 subscribers projected that Americans would spend $720 billion at restaurants in 2016 alone. That equates to nearly half of every food dollar spent in the United States. Dining out is a great way to try new things, experience new cultures without traveling overseas and spend time with friends and family. But men and women who are dieting or trying to gain greater control over the foods they eat may be nervous about dining out. Many restaurants feature nutritious foods that won’t compromise dieters’ goals of eating healthy. Dieters concerned about veering off course when they dine out can take the following steps to stay on course.
RESTAURANT GUIDE
• Research menus before choosing a restaurant. Apps such as Grubhub and Seamless make it easier than ever for diners to explore menus before booking reservations. Diners can utilize such apps or their corresponding websites to peruse menus so they can rest easy knowing they will ultimately patronize restaurants that won’t compromise their commitments to eating healthy. • Order an appetizer instead of an entrée. Controlling portion sizes can help dieters lose weight and keep the weight off. But many restaurants understandably serve large portions in an effort to ensure their customers get enough to eat and don’t feel cheated when the bill is presented. Dieters worried about entrée portions and their ability to avoid the temptation to eat large portions can order exclusively from

the appetizers menu. Appetizers are meant to be shared, so they should be filling when eaten by just one person. And many restaurants’ appetizers menus are just as varied as their entrée offerings. • Skip or split dessert. Few people have the time or ability to prepare restaurant-style desserts at home. That makes desserts even more special when dining out. However, dieters may want to skip dessert if the dessert offerings are limited to high-calorie, sugar-laden offerings. Dieters who simply must indulge
in dessert can split desserts with fellow diners or opt for low-calorie fare such as fruit. • Dine out infrequently. Dieters can indulge in favorite foods or less healthy fare every now and then without feeling guilty. In fact, many dieting experts suggest the occasional indulgence as a motivator or reward for hard work. Diners who dine out infrequently can use their special nights out as their opportunities to indulge. Avoid overindulging, which can be both unhealthy and uncomfortable.

Dining out with children Dining out at restaurants can be an enjoyable activity and a break from kitchen duties at home. Many people in both the United States and Canada dine out at least once a week. According to a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 58 percent of American adults say they visit a restaurant during the week. The Canadian Restaurant Food Association has found around 23 percent of Canadians dine out once a week. Even busy families want to indulge. However, parents of young children may avoid restaurants because of apprehension about the experience. Getting ready for the restaurant excursion can help families avoid some of the common pitfalls. Patience and planning can help dining out with the family go smoothly.
First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be.

SMART BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Tony Feitas • 774-289-5167 As Pablo Picasso said, “Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist”....that is exactly what Worcester artist Tony Freitas is doing with his custom made art hand-carved out of industrial grade polystyrene...also known as DigOutz. His talent was apparent at a young age. We all have that one teacher that recognizes the special magic that makes us who we are, and though we can’t know where it will lead, it is something that needs fostering through a crucial yet murky time known as high school. For Tony, that was Mr Lucey, his graphic arts teacher at Millbury High School. Tony credits Mr. Lucey’s guidance during this part of his journey as integral to where he is today. His influence continues to inspired Tony to be that changemaker for others, “One of the things in development here Dig-Outz, is a program we are reaching out to area schools with soon that will supplement art supplies and provide creative opportunities and experiences
students may not otherwise have access to. It is important to us to give back to the community.” Much of his work is commissioned and has recently found an audience abroad. “I want to reach as many people as possible and that means being diverse with my work and my message.” In one display of the breadth of his reach, he did a live art performance at an event highlighting mental health awareness when UMass Memorial Hospital came calling. That piece was bought by a man from Granite Hill School in Newport, New Hampshire (a therapeutic school for kids who have a mental illness or learning disability), and hangs in the main lobby of the school. “I am pleased it is in a place where it will have an impact.” Another one of his collaborations includes an upcoming live art performance at Kretschmann Brewing Company in Webster Massachusetts. “We are working with a band of incredible musicians
called Black Stone. They are doing a cover-to-cover performance of Pink Floyd’s The Wall that will include multi-media experience for all of the senses. I don’t want to give anything away but it will be like nothing you have seen before. It’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving and tickets are $20. When you’ve had enough family time, find your way over...you will leave in awe.” Dig-Outz can be found on Facebook and Instagram and anything you can imagine, Tony can bring to fruition. Pieces start at around $50 and he does literally every and anything you can imagine. “We have also begun doing Paint Nights at local bars and eateries with our next one being at The White Eagle Social Club on Green Street in Worcester on Thursday, November 9th. Tickets are just $40 and fill up
quickly. We have a great time...there is nothing like our Dig-Outz. You get the very unique opportunity to create your own.” Everything Tony does, he puts every fiber of his being into. On knowing when a piece is truly complete, he explains “when a connection is made and a person takes my art and hangs it on their wall, I can let it go knowing it has found it’s home and it is done”. When asked what advice he would give to younger artists, he says “respectfully ignore the closeminded, judgemental opinions of those who advise you to tow the line, get a ‘regular job’ and follow the sheep. Instead, do your thing and help change the system that closed their minds and hardened their hearts. You’ve got this.”

Pros and cons to keeping pigs as pets People are drawn to pets for various reasons. Self-sufficient cats entice those who prefer independent pets that do not take up much space. Dog lovers might enjoy the companionship and boisterous personalities of tail-wagging pooches. Exotic pet owners appreciate the uniqueness of their reptiles and amphibians and how they may serve as a conversation starters. Pot-bellied pigs also can make for interesting pets that can make for beloved additions to households. Curious, trainable and very intelligent, pigs offer more as pets than many people may realize. Many people mistakenly perceive pigs as dirty, smelly, sweaty messes. Such misconceptions may make people weary of adopting pet pigs. While not ideal for everyone, potbellied pigs can make wonderful pets.

The Pig Placement Network, a service that facilitates pot-bellied pig adoptions and placement, says that while pigs are highly trainable and can learn at a faster rate than dogs, the behavior of pigs is quite different from canines. Prospective pig owners must learn the intricacies of pigs before considering taking one in as a pet. Pigs are regarded as prey and therefore have developed a suspicious nature. It can take time to earn a pig’s trust. Furthermore, pigs can become stubborn, depressed and easily bored if not given adequate attention. This may lead to destructive or aggressive behavior. Mini Pig Info, another pet pig resource, says pigs will constantly test limits. They quickly can learn that squealing will get them attention. Unlike other pets, pigs’ emotions closely mirror those of humans.
