Holiday season meal tips when you’re
pinched for time
Much of the holiday season can seem like a blur,
during which busy men
and women spend much
of their time running here
and there. Holiday supplies need to be purchased, homes need to be
decorated and gifts must
be bought and wrapped.
During the busy holiday
season, men and women
pressed for time may be
tempted to turn to the
convenience of fast food
come mealtime. While
these fast foods may be
convenient, the cost of
dining out each night and
the lack of adequate nutrition may not justify the
convenience. But no matter how busy men and
women may be during the
holiday season, there are
still ways to eat healthy
meals that don’t take
much time to prepare.
Prep work
Meal preparation can
take a lot of time. But buying ingredients in advance,
and saving the trouble of
last-minute trips to the
grocery store, can make
prep work go much more
smoothly and quickly.
Devote some time on
the weekend to stocking
up on ingredients you will
need for the week ahead.
Stock up on storage containers so that food can
be packaged into the refrigerator or freezer. Prepare rice and parboil pasta to use as a starchy and
filling base to some
recipes. Peel, dice and
chop vegetables and store
in containers for later use
during the week. Separate meat and poultry
into smaller, meal-sized
containers so you only
thaw out what you need
for a given meal.
Have a plan
Create a menu plan so
you will know which
recipes to create and
when. Build room into
your meal plan for really
quick meals, such as a
soup and sandwich night
or breakfast for dinner.
Planning a meal weekly
meal schedule saves you
time because you won’t be
searching for recipes each
weeknight. Such planning
also helps you to ensure

there’s plenty of variety in
your weekly meals.
Seek help from slow
cookers
A slow cooker can be a
real time-saver during
the holiday season. Slow
cookers can be set to
cook while you’re out of
the house. When you return, you will find the
meal ready and waiting.
Slow cookers are very
popular, and as a result
it’s easy to find recipes
both online and in cookbooks. Slow cookers can
be used to prepare
sauces, soups, roasts,
casseroles, and so much
more. To make slow cookers even more convenient, prepackage ingredients for recipes in advance, storing them in a
plastic zip-top bag. Then
simply pour the ingredients into the slow cooker
in the morning before
leaving for work.
Expand your horizons
A meal need not always
be a three-course offering. On days you expect
to be particularly busy,
plan for a no-heat meal.
Cold cut sandwiches and
salad can fit the bill. A
platter of finger foods,
such as cheeses and
crackers, fruit, and vegetable sticks with dips,
can be filling as well. If
the kids are requesting a
bowl of cereal, let them
have it and save time.
Eggs and reheated leftovers and quick and easy
to prepare.
Dine out
Budget for a few meals
on the go. When shopping
at the mall, stop into a
restaurant for a sit-down
meal. Doing so will save
time and you can enjoy a
well-deserved respite from
cooking duties.
A slow cooker is a valuable asset for home cooks pressed for time during the busy
holiday season.

Dolgeville Blue Devils Jr. Pee Wee win Tri-Valley League title
by Mike Bilinski
It started as it does
every year towards the
middle of summer on the
first day of August. The
sounds of whistles and
coaches yelling and the
parents visiting in their
cars and in camp chairs
on the sidelines watching
their young men practice
football. For the Dolgeville Jr. Pee Wee football team there was a lot
of optimism going into
the season. After falling
last season in the title
game to Waterville most
of the entire team returned. Also, the Blue
Devils’ neighbors Little
Falls did not have enough
players for a Jr. Pee Wee
team so three young men
from the Mounties joined
the Blue Devils. After a
promising
scrimmage
against a good Ilion team
the Blue Devils started
their regular season with
a 32-6 win over Sauquoit
on a very hot Sunday.
This was followed up by
wins over Canastota 340, Marcy-Deerfield 35-6,
Clinton 33-6, Kuyahoora
1-0, and Waterville 34-0.
In week seven on a blustery and cold day the
Blue Devils faced the undefeated Mohawk Mohicans and Tolpa field. After a scoreless first half
Dolgeville used a smothering defense and power
running to come away
with a hard fought 12-0
win. The first round of
the Tri-Valley playoffs
featured a rematch between the Blue Devils
and
Marcy-Deerfield
where the Dolgeville came
out on top 41-0. The final
was another rematch between Mohawk and Dolgeville at Colgate University’s Andy Kerr field on a
beautiful fall day. As in
their first meeting the
first half ended in a 0-0
draw. In the second half
the Blue Devils put together two drives that
went the length of the
field eating up the
yardage and time on the
clock. Dolgeville again
came out on top this time
with a 14-0 victory. In
nine games through the
regular season and into
the playoffs their first
string defense was unscored upon. It truly
seemed like a magical
season not only for the
victories, but to see how
these young men came
together as a team and
made their parents, fans
and the entire Dolgeville
community proud. This
years team included,
Jared Bilinski, Michael
Blaskey, A.J. Blowers, Eli
Blowers, Owen Castor,
Kamryn Comstock, John

Hello Again,
In the last Hello
Again
we
chatted
about Jihadi which is
an Islamic term referring to the religious
duty of Muslim believers to maintain the
Muslim
religion.
Muslim scholars say
that Muslims can use
violent force to maintain or protect their
faith. The key is “May
take a violent form”.
Webster
Dictionary
states violent as intrusive violence. Do you
believe intense violence
could include murdering of the people of
Paris, France? Is this a
means of protecting
their Muslim faith?
Now let’s attempt to
put a handle on ISIS.
In the last Hello Again
we stated that ISIS
(Jihadi) may be the
most dangerous movement Christianity and
democracy will ever
encounter. Now, let’s
COUNTRY EDITOR
say what it really is. It
is the most forceful evil
murdering enemy the
world will ever face,
ISIS is growing in
strength by leaps and
bounds. It is not something to live through
with an attempt to
understand, but to
wipe out as you would
a pack of mad dogs.
ISIS means or is
known as the Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria.
It is a Jihadist extremist militant group and
self-proclaimed Islamic
State and Caliphate.
Simply stated the more
you try to understand
what ISIS and Jihadist
means, the more confused
you
may
become. To try to
understand it is a good
head start. They are an
extremely fast growing,
evil murdering, huge
group of people sharing in a common religion – Islam. Do not
misunderstand what I
am
saying
–

Muslims are not members of ISIS but it

appears that all of the
original ISIS members
were Muslims.
dogs they are proving
to be and wipe them
out?
Mrs. Hillary Clinton
has taken the stand
that it is wrong to suggest that all or even
most Muslims support
the ISIS movement. I
will never support
Mrs. Clinton’s effort to
become president of
the country. I do
believe she is a socialist. I will not knowingly ever support a
socialist. She may be
correct in stating that
ISIS is not a Muslim
movement. Let me
explain.
If
2,000
Christians (those who
maintain they are
believers and supporters of the belief of
Jesus
Christ
=
Christians) were to
ban together under an
assumed brotherhood
name, started killing
without mercy, would
the Muslims be correct in believing that
their murdering activity is Christian? Would
they
believe
all
Christians
and
Christianity is wrong
and should be wiped
out? It would be reasonable that some
Muslims could think
that way, wouldn’t it?
Here is the real question, should the governments of the world
gamble on the ISIS
people to act as
Christians or faithful
Muslims, or if true to
their faith, Muslims
are hiding their faces
or covering up for the
ISIS members – let
ISIS get what they
deserve or should we
treat them as the mad
Let’s gather around
the pot bellied chunk
stove
at
Charlie
Hearn’s store with a
group of farmers. The
subject is a bunch of
foreign
dogs
have
invaded several of the
farmer’s herds and calf
pens and killed several
of their stock.
How do you think the
conversation
would
go? Would they say we
better wait and see
what the head of the
conservation department has to say or let’s
wait until all of the
farmers learn about
this and see what they
have to say? If you
think that is what they
would say I’m afraid
you don’t know about
our good old American
farm stock.
I can hear the entire
group in unison —
“Charlie we all need 2
or 3 boxes of shotgun
shells plus a box or
two of rifle shells.” “We
have to kill everyone of
those mad dogs before
their number increases.”
We must think as the
farmers. The pack of
murdering
humans
known as ISIS are
using the Muslims
faith as a false shield
and must be hunted
down and killed.
How important to the
New York economy are
our dairy farmers?
New York State dairy
farmers produced $2.4
billion last year. New
York State is the 3rd
largest dairy producing
state in the entire
country.
A father, attempting
to teach his son how
life was when he was
the son’s age said, “By
five o’clock in the
morning I had already
fed the chickens gathered the eggs, slopped
the hogs and shoveled
out the cow manure. I
thought nothing of it .”
“I understand dad,”
said the son, “I don’t
think much of it
either.”
It has been said of
politicians they have
infinite capacity to
have their mouths
open agreeing with
their party on a stupid
subject.
During Dr. Snigs
boring lecture on child
physiology a friend
jabbed my ribs and
said — look most of the
class is asleep. I did
not appreciate the jab
and replied “you woke
me up for that?”
Dig out your long
johns, winter is on its
way. We will soon follow the bunches of
geese heading south.
Gaggle – skein both
equal a bunch.
We certainly enjoy
the winter months in
West Palm Beach,
Florida but our hearts
love the Mohawk Valley
best.
The Little Red Bike
will miss all of you and
so will I. God Bless you
and your family!
Fred Lee & Family
As vulgar and unAmerican as this language may appear, the
members of the ISIS
must be hunted down.
Their intent is to take
over the entire world
by murdering force.
Daily — right now they
are killing everyone
they can, young, old,
men, women and even
children.

The benefits to buying local this holiday season
Holiday shopping dominates many people’s free
time between the day after Thanksgiving and the
final days before Christmas. While many people
may shop ‘til they drop on
Black Friday and Cyber
Monday, those days still
account for a relatively
small amount of the hundreds of billions of dollars
that are spent each holiday season.
Shoppers now have a
bevy of options at their
disposal as they embark
on holiday shopping season. Traditional in-store
retailers are still around,
and online shopping continues to grow in popularity with each holiday
season. But many holiday shoppers are looking
to buy local this holiday
season, and such a decision can pay a host of
dividends for both shoppers and the communities they call home.
• Buying local benefits
your
local
economy.
Studies from Civic Economics, an economics
and strategics planning
firm, found that independent, locally-owned
retailers return a far
greater percentage of
their revenue into their
local economies than national chain stores. One
such study examined the
disparity between revenue recirculation among
independent,
locallyowned businesses in
Raleigh, North Carolina,
versus four major national chains in the city. The
former recirculated 51.1
percent of revenue into
the local economy, while
the latter recirculated
less than 14 percent.
Similar results were discovered in many cities,
indicating that buying local not only benefits local
business owners, but
also the communities
those owners and their
customers call home.
• Buying local creates
jobs in your community.
One of the biggest ways
local business owners in
Raleigh recirculated their
revenue in the local economy was job creation.
While national chains
also create jobs, such
jobs only benefit your
community if the chains
are located within your
community. If your local
mall is a considerable
drive away, chances are
the chains within that
mall are not employing
many of your fellow community members. Local
businesses in your community are more likely to
employ residents of your
town.
• Shopping local may
provide access to more
unique gifts. In addition
to the economic benefits
of buying local, shoppers
Shopping local this holiday season can benefit your community in various ways.
Whatchamacallits
This week’s Whatchamacallit is a
tiny silver heart-shaped instrument.
It’s very small and the metal is polished
smooth, possibly from years of handling.
It opens with little or no effort; a
simple slide to either side reveals another part — a secondary piece of
metal with two raised points on it.
The points may possibly be some type
of calibrator or unit of measurement.
Stamped onto the inside metal piece
are the partially rubbed off numbers 9
and 5, however they are very faint and
might not even be original markings.
If you know what this device is or would
like to offer up your best guess, please call
or email Branden at Lee Publications.
Do you have your own Whatchamacallit?
Send a photo and short description to [email protected] or call Branden at 518-673-0145
may find merchandise
made by local craftsmen
is more unique than
mass-produced
items
found on the shelves of
national retailers. Recipients may cherish more
unique items that they
cannot find on their own,
and that appreciation
may even spur them to
visit more local retailers
after the holiday season
has come and gone, benefiting their own communities in so doing.
• Local business may
provide a more personal
touch. Buying from national chains has its advantages, but customer
service is not always one of
them. Should your loved
ones encounter problems
with their gift that requires
assistance, they might be
forced to wait on the
phone for extended periods of time as they and
thousands of others wait
for customer service representatives to answer their
calls. Local businesses do
not deal with nearly the
volume of customers as
national retailers and,
therefore, are capable of
addressing concerns more
quickly and personally
than large chains.
Buying local not only
benefits small business
owners, but it also pays
dividends for their customers and the communities they call home.

CNA class graduates
from Valley Health
Services program
A graduation ceremony
was held at Valley Health
Services in Herkimer for
five students successfully
completing their fourweek Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) course
offered by the facility.
During the ceremony,
CNA
graduate
L ynn
Shepherd read the wellknown poem, “Success,”
written by American poet
Ralph Waldo Emerson on
the meaning of living a
successful life.
In addressing the graduates, Assistant Administrator Kathy Eisenhut
emphasized how important the CNA’s interaction will be with all the
residents and patients
with whom they will be
working throughout their
career. Eisenhut quoted
Maya Angelou, “They may
forget your name but they
will never forget how you
made them feel.”
Program
certificates
were presented by Eisenhut, with Director of
Nursing Melissa Ippolito,
RN, presenting each
graduate with a CNA pin
to wear as a symbol of
their achievement.
The class studied basic
nursing, personal care,
communication and interpersonal skills, mental
health and social service
needs, cognitive impairments, restorative care
and nursing home resident rights, in addition to
supervised clinical training in the nursing home
setting. The class was
taught by Tami Welch,
RN, nurse aide training &
inservice coordinator at
VHS.
Following the recitation
of the nursing assistant
code of ethics, the graduates, their families and
staff enjoyed light refreshments.
