TIDBITS® ASKS… HAVE WE MET? by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits turns its attention to terms starting with “met-“! • Cancer that has spread to a different body part from where it started has “metastasized.” It happens when cancer cells break away from the main tumor and enter the bloodstream of lymphatic system, carrying fluids throughout the body, forming new tumors in a different part of the body. Breast cancer usually spreads to the bones, liver, lungs, and brain, while prostate cancer tends to spread to the bones. Lung cancer most often spreads to the brain, bones, liver, and adrenal glands. If breast cancer spreads to the liver, it’s not called liver cancer, but rather metastatic breast cancer, because that’s where the cancer started. • You may have heard the phrase, “That person is as old as Methuselah.” Who exactly was Methusaleh? He was the oldest person on record in history, living to the age of 969, documented in the Book of Genesis. We don’t know much about him, but do know he was the grandfather of Noah. His unusual name means “Man of the Javelin.” The oldest living tree, located in the White Mountains of eastern California, has been named after him. The Methuselah tree, a bristlecone pine, is 4,852 years old. turn the page for more!

Baseball fans have been rooting for the New York Mets since 1962, when the team was introduced as a new team in the National League’s first expansion. In 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants had both departed New York City for the West Coast, and the city was without a National League baseball team. A noted New York attorney, William Shea, lobbied for a new team. Several names were put forth for the team, including Bees, Continentals, Skyliners, Empires, and Meadowlarks, before the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, or Mets for short, was chosen. The Mets’ first game was April 11, 1962 against the St. Louis Cardinals, and was the first of nine straight losses. Their first season record was 40120. For the first two seasons, they played their home games at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan, sharing it with the New York Jets. Ground had already been broken in the Fall of 1961 in Queens for the first new stadium in the city since 1923. Slated to be named Flushing Meadows Stadium, a campaign was underway to call it Shea Stadium in honor of William Shea who had made the gigantic effort to make the Mets a reality. The stadium officially opened on April 17, 1964, and workers were still laying sod in the outfield that morning. To the layman, a meter is defined as 39.37 inches in length. But to scientists, it’s much more complex. In 1790, the measurement was originated as one/ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian through Paris. In 1960, it was changed to “length equal to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths in a vacuum of the orange-red radiation of Krypton 86.” In 1984, the Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures amended the definition to “the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 second, with time measured by a cesium-133 atomic clock.” It just seems much simpler to say 39.37 inches!

Thanksgiving Tip: "Let one person be responsible for putting prep dishes, pots and pans in the dishwasher while another prepares the bird and side dishes for the table. You will be halfway done with dishes by the time the meal is over." -M.A. in Washington

•

"Bake stuffing in muffin tins for individual servings. Also, if your family is anything like mine, we love the crispy parts, and everyone will get some this way!" -- W.G. in Mississippi

•

"If you host a large family holiday gathering and serve a lot of side dishes, try this trick to them hot while waiting for other items to finish in the oven. Simply cover the bottom of a clean ice chest with a few trivets or a couple kitchen towels, and set casseroles and oven-cooked meats inside. Most people use a cooler to keep things cold, but the insulation works just as well to keep hot things hot ... at least for a little while." -- M.E. in West Virginia

•

"An oldie but a goodie, and certainly considerate of dear old Mom: In my family, you come to Thanksgiving dinner with your own plastic containers for leftovers. If you don't bring your own, you don't go home with tomorrow's lunch. Mom instituted this rule after the first Thanksgiving when all the kids had moved out. We practically cleaned her out of Tupperware!" -- E.Y. in New Mexico

Situated at 1000 Fifth Avenue in New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the U.S. The Museum was founded in 1870 in a smaller building a few blocks away and moved to its current location near Central Park in Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 1879. The 2.2 millionsquare-foot building houses more than two million works dating back to ancient Egypt, more than 5,000 years ago. There is also a vast collection of modern art, including Monet, Van Gogh, Gaugin, Picasso, and Pollock. The famous 1851 painting of “Washington Crossing the Delaware” is housed there. A set of armor worn by Henry VIII during a 1544 military campaign is in an exhibit of weapons and armor from around the world. A collection of more than 5,000 musical instruments from six continents embraces every culture and era, including the world’s oldest piano from 1720, created by piano inventor, Italian pianist Bartolomeo Cristofori. In the year prior to the Covid pandemic, 7.3 million people toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Meteorology isn’t the study of meteors, it’s the science that studies atmospheric properties and phenomena, including physics and chemistry. We generally think of a meteorologist as someone who forecasts the weather, but it’s much more than that. Meteorologists study long-term trends in climate and weather, and the potential impact on humans. They do more than tell you it might rain. They analyze and record data from global weather stations, satellites, and radar, and interpret atmospheric patterns. The word meteorology comes from the Greek word “meteoros,” meaning “the study of things high in the air.”

The person who studies meteors is called a meteoricist, with that field of study being meteorics

We hear a lot of talk about metabolism and how it relates to weight loss. But what exactly is metabolism? It’s the body’s internal processes that turn the food you eat into the energy and the building blocks you need. Although the rate of metabolism is determined mostly by your genes, there are a few things you can do to increase it. Because it takes longer for your body to burn and absorb protein, stepping up protein intake can increase metabolism. Eating breakfast gives your metabolism a kick-start for the day. Drinking cold water can cause a temporary increase, as can coffee and green tea. It’s no surprise that a high-intensity interval workout speeds up your metabolism. Metabolism can also be affected by certain medications, which can speed it up dangerously or slow it down dramatically. Rapid weight loss actually slows metabolism because your body uses less energy to function at a lower weight. British brothers John and Charles Wesley were responsible for the establishment of the Methodist Church. While at Oxford University in the mid-1700s, they met with a small group of students who led a disciplined lifestyle along with a methodical study of the Scriptures, leading to the name “the Methodists.” They started classes for members of the Church of England who wanted a more religious life. In 1735, the evangelists traveled to America, forming several “societies” and Methodism spread throughout the colonies. Charles, a prolific poet, composed more than 6,500 hymns, including “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” and “Christ the Lord is Risen Today.” St. George’s United Methodist Church in Philadelphia is the oldest continuously-operating Methodist church in the United States, founded in 1769.

Rehil-Crest named the Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Anthony Rehil-Crest has been named the new Chief Clinical Officer for Heritage Health. He replaces Dr. Peter Purrington, who is leaving Heritage Health at the end of the year. “I am extremely confident in Dr. Rehil-Crest,” said Heritage Health CEO Mike Baker. “He is well suited to taking us forward as a community health center.” Baker also praised Purrington for his contributions to the organization over the last four years. “Dr. Purrington has a heart of gold,” said Baker. “I can’t imagine going through the last few years without his leadership. We wish him and his family the very best in his new role and community. They will be missed.” Rehil-Crest has been acting as the Vice President of the Medical Services since June 2020. In that role, he oversaw the medical providers at Heritage Health and helped to guide processes that improve quality care for our patients. “I am thrilled to be the next Chief Clinical Officer,” said Rehil-Crest. “My focus has always been on improving the lives of our patients.” Dr. Rehil-Crest is a graduate of New York Medical College and he is board-certified in Internal Medicine. He has also earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Washington.

He also has a special interest in treating patients struggling with opioid addiction. “The fact that he has grown into this leadership position is a testament to his hard work and dedication toward our patients,” said Baker. “I know he will succeed as our Chief Clinical Officer.” Dr. Rehil-Crest believes the services that Heritage Health provides are vital to the Northern Idaho community. “I take pride in knowing that I work for an organization that takes care of anyone who walks through the door,” said Rehil-Crest. “Heritage Health will bend over backward to make sure that patients can get the medications, treatments, and tests that they need.” Dr. Rehil-Crest is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP). Fellowship is an honorary designation given to recognize ongoing individual service and contributions to the practice of medicine.

THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP RESTORE HEALTH Whether it is the health of my patients, or my own health, I am thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in the health of so many. I believe we are all given gifts. They tend to differ widely from one person to the next, but we all have talents, gifts, given to us. Some find them quickly – even from childhood, others struggle for years trying to find theirs, and yet others don’t recognize their gifts until the end of their life. I was given the gift of knowing from a very young age what I wanted to do for a life career, and I haven’t changed from that knowledge. I “healed” my friends of their “illnesses” during my very young play, pestered my aunt and grandmother, both of whom were nurses, to teach me everything I wanted to know about health and disease, and started reading books to learn more when quite young. I started to study in earnest at the age of 12, and by age 14 I was already volunteering in hospitals as a “Candy Striper”. Today, they are called “Junior Volunteers” and work mostly in teaching hospitals at reception desks and in gift shops. In my day we also did minor patient care, similar to a Nurse’s Aide. In high school, through the year-long ROP program, I re-took the Nurse’s Aide (CNA) course 3 times (helping teach it my 3 rd year)

because I wasn’t old enough to be hired at the hospital I worked at. Finally, the day I turned 16, I was hired. After I graduated from high school, I took my nursing training and worked at the same hospital and through a nursing registry for the next few years. Then, a series of events occurred that made me disenchanted with the industry I was in. I still had the same desire to help people with their health, so I redirected into the wellness field I am in now. I am so thankful that I did. Today, my desire to give people their lives back spurs me on to continue to educate myself and be present with everyone that walks into my treatment rooms. My favorite part is learning everything about their health. I’m not limited to asking “what one thing are you here for today” as is frequently asked at the beginning of medical office appointments. I get to get the scoop on everything going amiss with their health. With that, I can piece together the puzzle of what went wrong to start with, and what I can do to get them joyously back into life again. More than anything, I am grateful that we have a body, wonderfully designed to heal itself. Once we do proper investigative work, give the body what it needed to heal with or take away the health-destroyers, my job is easy. I am only the instrument to restore health, and for that I am immensely grateful!

Veterans Village: David Steps Up I had to park on the street because the lot behind the coffee shop was completely full, with the older veterans relegated to the sidewalk. Sarge and David, the homeless veteran building contractor, were waving hands and instructing the truckers to carefully wedge three, not two this time, but three tiny-home wheel frames onto the lot. Inches mattered. The land itself for the coming Veterans Village was a thing of beauty. Partially cleared but with plenty of trees still left, it was tucked into some acreage right at the edge of town. The first tiny home was to be delivered in three days, hauled over and hooked up to the underground electric. Town officials and inspectors were sure to be hovering. David, responsible for Veterans Village, had opted not to grab one of the first tiny homes as his own. Instead, he'd stay in the attic dorm above the coffee shop for now, if that was all right with Sarge. "Stay as long as you like," Sarge had said. Sarge was actually glad to have him there. David had been a good influence on the dorm crew, especially the young veteran who still didn't have a job. He had gone on a number of interviews, none of them successful. The problem, as David discovered late one night in the dorm, was that the veteran couldn't read. He would stare at magazines and turn pages, but couldn't tell you what the words were. Say one thing to him, however, and he would remember it forever. Which was why David hired him to work on the tiny homes as a yard helper. "I can rattle off a list of 20 things for him to do during the day, and they'll all be done perfectly," David told Sarge. "Darn shame he can't read. He could go far." Hearing that, Sarge stepped into the coffee shop, shut the door and called his granddaughter. "Baby girl, this is Granddad," he said. "You ever teach anybody to read?"

New Dog Has Appetite for Doggie Door Flap DEAR PAWS CORNER: Help! Our recently adopted dog "Mollie," a medium-sized mixed breed, thinks the doggie door flap leading outside to the backyard is delicious. Rather than using it to go in and out, she grabs the edge, chews and tugs on it. She growls when she does this. And she insists that we open the back door for her to go out. How do we fix this? -- Mary T., San Antonio DEAR MARY: You'll need to address this in two steps. First, you need to figure out if Mollie is chewing due to boredom or attentionseeking, or if she has separation anxiety due to trauma in her past. If she's only chewing on the door flap and nothing else in the house, maybe there's an old memory surfacing. Second, you'll need to repair or replace the damaged flap and train Mollie to go in and out of it confidently. Here are a few methods: 1. Divert and distract: As soon as Mollie starts trying to chew the door, call her name to stop her and then distract her away from the door with something else that interests her, like a favorite toy or a treat. 2. Behavior training at the same time each day: Note when Mollie is most likely to start chewing on the door. Then, conduct 10 minutes of behavior training in basic commands. 3. Train Mollie to use the flap correctly: Once she's responding well to basic commands, add "going thru the flap" to her training. The AKC has a great tutorial here: www.akc.org/expertadvice/training/dog-not-using-dog-door/ and this trainer's video shows the clicker-treat method: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_k4_UHDeA If these methods don't work, consider a professional trainer to help identify and work through Mollie's fears or bad habits.

‘Will my Mom fit in?’

By Matilda Charles

Foreign Radio Stations and Language Lessons Here we are, still stuck mostly at home for another winter. Looking for ways to get out, even if it's only mentally, I've discovered internet radio. It's easy to get started. I went to Radio.net (with 33,000 stations around the world) and on a whim I typed in Ireland for a search function. That got me 15 stations in Ireland. I tried Canada, and that netted me 44 stations. Searching for France, I found 798 stations. I went with a French talk show aimed at seniors and have been able to test the free French lessons I've been taking online with Duolingo. If you get hooked on listening to the radio on your computer, you might consider investing in a good pair of speakers. I prefer the wired speakers, as opposed to struggling with Bluetooth connections, and a decent set can be had for less than $25. I'm still using a pair of 3-inch cube speakers with a very handy volume button that I purchased seven years ago. As for the free French lessons on Duolingo (duolingo.com), I've decided to start again at the beginning. There are four goal levels: casual, regular, serious and intense, meaning 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes per day of instruction. Now that I've found that French talk show, not to mention all the other 797 French stations, I'm going to get more serious about learning French. On Radio.net there was an offer to get a free phone app at the App store or on Google Play, but you can just click the green arrow for connection. One thing to keep in mind about radio apps for phones or tablets -- they do use data. If you're on a cellphone plan, make sure you are using Wi-Fi, or be aware of how much data you are using. You can always listen on the computer. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

I imagine anyone who works with families considering moving their loved one into a community has heard this question. Our natural instinct is to assure the family that YES, of course they will! In my experience, most often times they do. However, finding ways to help make that acclimatization happen more quickly for new residents can mean the difference between them becoming a long-term resident or quickly moving out. Coming from the perspective of not only someone who has helped other families in this situation, but also as the adult daughter of parents who recently moved into senior living, I want to share some ideas on how to assist new residents to quickly make new friends and adapt to their new life in a community… I found in my experience, the personal touch makes the difference. By working just as hard to learn the likes/dislikes of a senior as you did about their care needs, you have a great chance of knowing how you can help bring them joy!

Spend time asking questions like ‘Prior to retiring, how did your Mom spend her spare time?’, ‘When you were growing up did your Dad belong to any civic or community groups?’, ‘After retiring, what did your loved one do during the day?’, ‘What’s your Mom’s favorite topic of conversation?’ You will get to know the ‘person’ not just the ‘patient’ and will hopefully get ideas on what is meaningful to them… Nancy has aptly described our driving philosophy as we create a family of caregivers and residents in each of our homes!!

You also inspire trust in all parties when you act with careful consideration of their feelings. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That longdelayed commitment begins to look better to you. But there's still a crucial fact or two you need to know about it. A health problem needs to be taken care of.

But be aware of the fact that you haven't been told about all the demands you might have to meet. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your financial picture brightens as you get into sorting out realistic goals and those that are not reachable at this time.
