HOCUS-FOCUS

On Saturday, December 6, the Dansville community will come out for the annual Winter in the Village celebration. e daylong event boasts fun for young and old across downtown and the wider community to welcome the holiday season. Local community groups, nonprofits, and businesses plan activities and events throughout the village, and the Dansville Area Chamber of Commerce provides some coordination and extra fun of their own, as they have for nearly 20 years.
Salome Farraro and Julee Acomb co-chair the Events Committee that orchestrates Winter in the Village, and they say the event seems to emerge organically from the community. “Although we’re sitting here going over details now, it really comes together on its own,” Farraro says. e committee’s work starts in September and includes collecting details of what community groups are planning as well as coordinating logistics for staples such as the ice sculpturesonMainStreetandthemuch-lovedSantaParade. Acomb, Farraro, and ten committee members volunteer their time and efforts to coordinate Winter in the Village.
Winter in the Village will begin with the Jingle Bells 5K Walk and Run at the Dansville Community Center. roughout the day, artists, cra speople, and other vendors will be set up at North Dansville Town Hall, Genesee Community College, and other locations in the community and downtown district. e Santa Parade brings everyone together in the late a ernoon for the tree lighting ceremony at Church Park, and festivities continue into the evening with a live ice carving demo, carriage rides, and the popular Wine and Spirits Walk.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will make several appearances throughout Winter in the Village, first at the Dansville Public Library and later at the tree lighting ceremony. ey’ll also headline the Santa Parade in late a ernoon. For kids who don’t get a chance to talk to Santa in person, the Letters for Santa event has returned to Winter in the Village. Kids can leave letters for Santa at the library, where a team of Santa’s helpers will ensure each letter receives a response.
A centerpiece of Winter in the Village has long been the intricate ice sculptures lining Main Street during the event. is year, local businesses and organizations sponsored two dozen ice sculptures, which will arrive on Main Street around midday. e sculptures are created by the Ice Farm in Ithaca and are alwaysinspiredbytheyear’sthemeforWinter in the Village. is year, the theme is “Frosted Holidays,” and the sculptures promise to delight. anks to local sponsors, eventgoers can also see a live ice carving demonstration later in the evening.
Winter in the Village continues to grow each year. In addition to bringing back Letters to Santa, this year’s celebration includes a bigger-than-ever parade, with floats, dogs, and new and returning community groups.
“The beauty of this event is that it’s very community-centric. Everyone recognizes how important it is to celebrate and treasure the camaraderie and goodwill we have.” SALOME FARRARO
e parade will also feature more emergency vehicles than ever before, as fire companies from neighboring communities join the procession for the first time. And of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be stars of the show.
e Santa Parade will end at Church Park in time for the tree lighting ceremony. e Dansville Lions Club orchestrated the decoration of 50 trees in the park, each decorated by a local organization or in memory of a loved one. e Ellis B. Hyde Elementary School Chorus will perform at the park’s gazebo during the lighting ceremony. e day’s festivities wind down with horse and carriage rides and a live ice carving demo, although visitors who are 21+ may carry on into the evening with the Wine and Spirits Walk, which has added additional times and locations to purchase a commemorative glass and ID band for the event.
is year’s Winter in the Village promises to be more of the community-wide holiday fun the event has become known for, thanks to the efforts of the volunteers and local businesses and organizations.

CHRISTMAS TREE VARIETIES
Fraser fir trees are typically uniformly pyramid-shaped trees that have strong branches that turn slightly upward. These trees have good needle retention and a dark, blue-green hue. Many people feel these trees have a pleasant scent. Because they are such a quintessential Christmas tree, Fraser fir, as well as their close cousin, Balsam fir, tend to be more expensive than others.

American Flag
I think it’s very disrespectful to fly your American flag upside down. If you are so unhappy with the United States, then maybe you should leave the country and go somewhere you would be happy. I understand this country isn’t in the greatest state, but you should be proud to fly the American flag, correctly.
Handshake
Why won’t people shake your hand anymore? Since Covid, no one will shake hands when wishing peace in church. It’s sad and frustrating. It’s like when we were kids and you thought the other person had cooties. Please don’t be afraid to shake hands, let’s get back together again.

Coats & Toys FOR KIDS
Residents and surrounding businesses collaborate with the Salvation Army every year to lend a hand in keeping kids warm by donating winter coats and toys to families in need. In 1983, the Salvation Army launched the Coats for Kids initiative. The aim is that no child will be left without a coat during winter.

ARE POINSETTIAS POISONOUS?
The National Capital Poison Center notes that, in most cases, exposure to any part of a poinsettia plant in children or pets has little, if any, effect. However, if the plant is swallowed, some people and pets may experience symptoms including nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Some who touch the plant may develop a rash after contact.
While poinsettias are not deadly, the NCPC still advises those who plant to include the plant in their holiday decor to take every measure necessary to prevent children and pets from swallowing it. Placing poinsettias beyond the reach of kids and pets is one simple way to accomplish just that.

‘Lactose Intolerance’ Proves To Be A Casein Sensitivity
DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife believed that she had lactose intolerance. After some tests, it was found that she was sensitive to casein rather than lactose. Are there other things in cow’s milk besides lactose and casein that people are sensitive to? --
K.A.
ANSWER: There are three main components of cow’s milk that can lead people to having a bad reaction.
Lactose is a type of compound sugar called a “disaccharide,” which includes two separate single sugars (“monosaccharides”) -- glucose and galactose -- that are connected by a chemical bond. This chemical bond is broken by a specific enzyme called lactase. Deficiency is rare in children but common in adults, especially in people with ancestry from Asia and Africa, as well as Native Americans.
Without the ability to break lactose into its component monosaccharides, a person is likely to get abdominal cramps, gas and diarrhea if they consume lactose. This is because lactose passes into the colon, where colonic bacteria will digest the lactose and produce gas (as well as discomfort). There is a wide variety in the amount that people need to consume to have symptoms, with some people being exquisitely sensitive and others needing a fair amount of it to develop symptoms.
Milk allergies are different. Eighty percent of adults with cow’s milk allergies are women. Cow’s milk allergies are most commonly due to the protein casein (the “curds” of the nursery rhyme) but may also be due to whey protein. People who are allergic to whey protein often have less symptoms if the protein is heated or cooked (for example, milk in baked goods) or if it is changed by digestive enzymes, as in yogurt.
Cow’s milk allergies can have various symptoms. They can be serious and cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. But they may also cause symptoms that people might not recognize as a food allergy, such as skin changes, symptoms of the mouth and esophagus, and food- and exercise-associated anaphylaxis. Some people develop eosinophilic esophagitis, which can resemble gastroesophageal reflux disease; this causes heartburn that doesn’t respond to the usual treatments. This is only a brief overview of a complicated topic that generally requires an expert in allergy and immunology to help diagnose and manage the condition.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a “trigger thumb.” My thumb no longer bends at the middle joint and hurts. Exercise doesn’t seem to work. I tried physical therapy, too, without results. -- A.M.
ANSWER: Stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, aka trigger finger, is a common issue that I see very frequently in my clinical practice. Symptoms usually start with some “catching” or locking of the fingers while flexing and extending one or more of them. This may progress to discomfort or pain, and it can progress to the point where a finger or thumb is locked in place and needs to be bent by the other hand.
Initial treatment includes rest and anti-inflammatories. Some experts use a splint to reduce the trauma from repetitive movement in the pulley system of the hand. If conservative treatment isn’t effective, most hand experts will try an injection of a steroid into the area of the pulley and tendon. Surgery is an option if two or three injections haven’t solved the problem.

Stay Calm to Foil Scammers
This is a new scam, but then it’s what we expect from thieves -yet another way to steal from us. This one involves our innocentseeming bank debit card, a scammer and a pair of scissors. Here’s how it works:
SPIRITUAL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
Share the story of Christmas
The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin when visited by an angel who informed her that she was to carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes. That required people to return to their places of birth. As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter in a stable where Jesus was ultimately born.

You’ll get a call from someone claiming to be from your bank who says there is fraudulent activity happening on your account, and they need your help. You’ll be told that you need to act fast before you lose all your money.
The scammers will tell you to cut up your debit card, but not to cut up the little microchip on the card. Put all the pieces, they’ll say, in an envelope and leave it at your door, because a bank “official” is going to rush over to take possession of the evidence. Oh, and there will be one last little detail they’ll need -- your bank PIN. By that time, if you’re sufficiently rattled, you’ll willingly tell them the number.
A scammer will quickly show up at your door to grab the envelope. Armed with that little card chip and your PIN, they can quickly empty your account.
The key is for you to not get rattled, to not let scammers direct your actions.
If you’re suspicious about any call, hang up! It’s OK (even preferable in this case) to be rude! Call the bank or company on their official number and ask if they were trying to contact you about fraudulent activity on your account.
If your debit card (or any card) expires and the bank or company sends you a replacement, cut up the old one. Be sure to cut through the chip, the magnetic strip on the back and the numbers as well as your name. Divide them up in multiple trash bags to keep the pieces apart
