Global Thanksgiving Traditions
With its historical nod to the 1621
feast between the Pilgrim settlers and
American Indians, as well as a focus on
food, football and shopping, it may seem that Thanksgiving is a holiday unique
to the United States. But several other countries around the world partake in
similar festivities.
Korea: This Asian nation celebrates Chuseok on the 15th day of the eighth month
of the lunar calendar, sometime in September or October. Koreans use this time
to honor and give thanks to their ancestors. The main dish is “songpyeon,” halfmoon-shaped rice cakes with various fillings.
Germany: Areas of Austria and Switzerland join Germany in celebrating
Erntedankfest, usually in early October. The centerpiece of the holiday is the
“Erntekrone,” or “harvest crown,” made of grains, flowers and fruit. Parades, music,
dancing and church services round out the festivities.
Ghana: The Homowo festival takes place each August in the Accra region of this African country. The joyous occasion
commemorates the Ga people’s historical victory over famine, when they “hooted at hunger” (the translation of the
word “homowo”).
Canada: The first Canadian Thanksgiving, or “l’Action de grace” in French-speaking regions, was observed in 1578. It is
celebrated on the second Monday in October and features a meal familiar to Americans: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes
and pie.
The Memorable Adventures of a Moose and Squirrel
Hokey smoke! This month marks the anniversary of one of
television’s most beloved animated duos, Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Created by Jay Ward and Alex Anderson, Rocket J. Squirrel and
Bullwinkle J. Moose made their debut on “Rocky and His Friends,”
which premiered Nov. 19, 1959. Best friends and residents of Frostbite
Falls, Minn., the unlikely pair consistently found themselves in the
midst of various adventures, armed only with Rocky’s flying skills and
Bullwinkle’s “mighty moose muscle.”
Most of the time, their troubles were caused by villains Boris and
Natasha, spies from the fictional nation of Pottsylvania. Each serial
episode also included other recurring cartoon segments, such as
“Peabody’s Improbable History,” “Fractured Fairy Tales” and “Dudley
Do-Right of the Mounties.”
Marked by a clever and lovable brand of humor that appealed to both kids and adults, the show was also known for
its satires on historical and current events, parodies, and instances of breaking the fourth wall, in which characters
spoke directly to the audience and the show’s narrator.
The cartoon switched networks and was renamed “The Bullwinkle Show” before ending in 1964, then became known
as “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show” in reruns, where it gained new generations of fans.

A Slice of Pie History
Pies, with their sweet fillings and flaky crusts, are
popular desserts at Thanksgiving dinner, but pie
hasn’t always been the dish we know today.
Dating back to ancient civilizations, the first
pies were filled with meat, fish and other savory
foods. Crusts, made from various grains, were
created to hold the filling, but not eaten. The
Greeks were the first to combine flour and water
to make a pastry shell.
Historians say pie made its way to England in
the 12th century, where it was called pye. Beef,
lamb and duck often made up the filling, held
together by a thick, inedible crust. At royal banquets, “surprise pies” were used to provide
entertainment: Live frogs, rabbits, birds and even people were encased in baked pastry and
emerged when the crust was cut open.
English settlers brought their meat pies to Colonial America. Colonists later used local berries
and other fruits to make sweet pies.
As pioneers moved to the West, new pie recipes were created using regional foods. Then
the 20th-century innovations of shortening, canned fillings and ready-made crusts made
pie-making easier.
Contrary to popular belief, there was no pumpkin pie at the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The
Plymouth Colony had no butter or wheat flour for making a crust, and ovens had not yet been
built. Pumpkin pie didn’t become a staple of Thanksgiving dinners until the 1800s.

In September, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s Discovery Labs on Wheels
brought all the supplies needed for residents to create Doodle Bots. Residents really
enjoyed watching their creation move once the motor was connected to the battery!

History of
Thanksgiving
In September 1620, a small ship called the
Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying
102 passengers — an assortment of
religious separatists seeking a new home
where they could freely practice their
faith and other individuals lured by the
promise of prosperity and land ownership
in the New World. After a treacherous and
uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape
Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. One
month later, the Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay, where the Pilgrims, as they are
now commonly known, began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth.
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor
William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling
colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag Chief Massasoit. Now
remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”— although the Pilgrims themselves
may not have used the term at the time — the festival lasted for three days. While
no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward
Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling”
mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing
five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared
using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims
had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the
meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of
contemporary celebrations.
If you have wondered or possibly
been told that you are at risk
for developing type 2 diabetes
or that you have prediabetes,
you should know that diabetes
prevention is proven, possible,
and powerful. Studies show that
people at high risk for diabetes
can prevent or delay the onset
of the disease by losing 5 to 7
percent of their weight, if they are
overweight — that’s 10 to 14 pounds
for a 200-pound person.”
Two keys to success:
• Get at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical
activity five days a week.
• Eat a variety of foods that are
low in fat and reduce the number
of calories you eat per day.
In other words, you don’t have
to knock yourself out to prevent
diabetes. The key is small steps
that lead to big rewards.

Epilepsy Awareness
Month
A seizure is a short change in normal brain
activity that can cause changes in awareness,
behavior, or body movement. Because anyone
can have a seizure, it’s important to recognize
seizure symptoms and to know how to help.
The signs of seizures depend on the part of
the brain affected. Some seizures are mild and can go unnoticed. Others can cause the person
to fall to the ground, or be unable to move or speak. Did you know there are over 30 types of
seizures? There are two groups of seizures: Generalized and partial. Partial seizures are the
most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy, however epilepsy is not
the only cause of a seizure. Seizures can happen from other problems, including brain injury,
high fever, or alcohol or drug withdrawal.
Craig Latta
Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain. These words are often used when
describing generalized seizures:
Teresa Wilks
•
Tonic: Muscles in the body become stiff
•
Atonic: Muscles in the body relax
•
Myoclonic: Muscles in the body jerk or twitch, usually on both sides of the body
•
Clonic: Periods of jerking spasms in muscles of the body, sometimes on both sides of
the body

Tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most well-known type of seizure and can
make a person:
•
Cry out
•
Have muscle jerks or spasms
•
Lose consciousness
•
Feel tired afterward
•
Fall to the ground
Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) can cause rapid eye blinking or a few seconds of staring
into space.
Partial seizures are located in just one area of the brain. These seizures are also called focal
seizures. There are at least three different types of partial seizures.
Simple Partial — Affects a small part of the brain. These seizures can cause jerking or a change
in sensation, such as a strange taste or smell, or a “funny feeling” in the stomach.
Complex Partial — Can make a person with epilepsy confused or dazed. The person will be
unable to respond to questions or direction for up to a few minutes. A person with this type of
seizure may move around without purpose or direction.
Partial seizures that generalize begin in one part of the brain but then spread to both
sides of the brain. In other words, the person first has a partial seizure, followed by a
generalized seizure.
Sleep Comfort Month
Drivers
Here are tips on how to get a good night’s sleep:
1. Make certain you find a temperature that
is comfortable to you for sleeping. Also, keep
light and noise to a minimum — you’ll sleep
better in a dark, quiet room. If absolute quiet
doesn’t work for you, try to run a sound
machine or a fan for white noise.
Susy Cardoza
Housekeepers
Aguida Varela, Daria Serrano,
Lizeth Aguilar-Ramirez, Deyanira
2. There are many mattresses that are specifically designed
to address the degrees of firmness that helps you sleep best. The same is true for
pillows — shop around until you find a size and firmness of pillow that allows you to fall —
and stay — asleep.
James Bass
3. Take a couple of days during November and try to let your body clock reset itself. Try this.
Go to bed at a reasonable hour but don’t set your alarm clock. Allow yourself to wake up
naturally. You will need to do this for a couple of days in a row to let you see how much
sleep you require. Once you’ve figured that out you can make the changes necessary to
your sleep patterns so that you attain your sleep goals.
4. Daily activity, whether it’s walking, running or bike riding, not only will make you healthier
but it will lead to a better night’s sleep.
Jack West, Dylan Owens, Alan Hall,
Bryan Does
5. 5.Implement a pre-bedtime ritual. Whether you want to curl up with a book, soak in the
tub, enjoy a cup of tea or listen to soothing music, find a routine that works for you and lets
your body know that this is the time of day to start winding down.

History of
Thanksgiving
In September 1620, a small ship called the
Mayflower left Plymouth, England, carrying
102 passengers — an assortment of
religious separatists seeking a new home
where they could freely practice their
faith and other individuals lured by the
promise of prosperity and land ownership
in the New World. After a treacherous and
uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape
Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River. One
month later, the Mayflower crossed Massachusetts Bay, where the Pilgrims, as they are
now commonly known, began the work of establishing a village at Plymouth.
In November 1621, after the Pilgrims’ first corn harvest proved successful, Governor
William Bradford organized a celebratory feast and invited a group of the fledgling
colony’s Native American allies, including the Wampanoag Chief Massasoit. Now
remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”— although the Pilgrims themselves
may not have used the term at the time — the festival lasted for three days. While
no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward
Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling”
mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing
five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared
using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims
had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the
meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of
contemporary celebrations.
If you have wondered or possibly
been told that you are at risk
for developing type 2 diabetes
or that you have prediabetes,
you should know that diabetes
prevention is proven, possible,
and powerful. Studies show that
people at high risk for diabetes
can prevent or delay the onset
of the disease by losing 5 to 7
percent of their weight, if they are
overweight — that’s 10 to 14 pounds
for a 200-pound person.
Two keys to success:
•
Get at least 30 minutes of
moderate-intensity physical
activity five days a week.
•
Eat a variety of foods that
are low in fat and reduce the
number of calories you eat
per day.
In other words, you don’t have
to knock yourself out to prevent
diabetes. The key is small steps
that lead to big rewards.

A seizure is a short change in normal brain
activity that can cause changes in awareness,
behavior, or body movement. Because anyone
can have a seizure, it’s important to recognize
seizure symptoms and to know how to help.
The signs of seizures depend on the part of the
brain affected. Some seizures are mild and can go unnoticed. Others can cause the person to fall
to the ground, or be unable to move or speak. Did you know there are over 30 types of seizures?
There are two groups of seizures: Generalized and partial. Partial seizures are the most common
type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy, however epilepsy is not the only cause of a
seizure. Seizures can happen from other problems, including brain injury, high fever, or alcohol or
drug withdrawal.
Craig Latta
Generalized seizures affect both sides of the brain. These words are often used when describing
generalized seizures:
Teresa Wilks
•
Tonic: Muscles in the body become stiff
•
Atonic: Muscles in the body relax
•
Myoclonic: Muscles in the body jerk or twitch, usually on both sides of the body
•
Clonic: Periods of jerking spasms in muscles of the body, sometimes on both sides of
the body

Tonic-clonic seizures (grand mal seizures) are the most well-known type of seizure and can make
a person:
•
Cry out
•
Have muscle jerks or spasms
•
Lose consciousness
•
Feel tired afterward
•
Fall to the ground
Absence seizures (petit mal seizures) can cause rapid eye blinking or a few seconds of staring
into space.
Partial seizures are located in just one area of the brain. These seizures are also called focal
seizures. There are at least three different types of partial seizures.
Simple Partial — Affects a small part of the brain. These seizures can cause jerking or a change in
sensation, such as a strange taste or smell, or a “funny feeling” in the stomach.
Complex Partial — Can make a person with epilepsy confused or dazed. The person will be
unable to respond to questions or direction for up to a few minutes. A person with this type of
seizure may move around without purpose or direction.
Partial seizures that generalize begin in one part of the brain but then spread to both sides of
the brain. In other words, the person first has a partial seizure, followed by a generalized seizure.
Sleep Comfort Month
Here are tips on how to get a good night’s sleep:
1. Make certain you find a temperature that is
comfortable to you for sleeping. Also, keep
light and noise to a minimum — you’ll sleep
better in a dark, quiet room. If absolute quiet
doesn’t work for you, try to run a sound
machine or a fan for white noise.
2. There are many mattresses that are specifically designed to address the
degrees of firmness that helps you sleep best. The same is true for pillows — shop
around until you find a size and firmness of pillow that allows you to fall — and
stay — asleep.
3. Take a couple of days during November and try to let your body clock reset itself. Try
this. Go to bed at a reasonable hour but don’t set your alarm clock. Allow yourself to
wake up naturally. You will need to do this for a couple of days in a row to let you see
how much sleep you require. Once you’ve figured that out you can make the changes
necessary to your sleep patterns so that you attain your sleep goals.
4. Daily activity, whether it’s walking, running or bike riding, not only will make you healthier
but it will lead to a better night’s sleep.
5. Implement a pre-bedtime ritual. Whether you want to curl up with a book, soak in the
tub, enjoy a cup of tea or listen to soothing music, find a routine that works for you and
lets your body know that this is the time of day to start winding down.
