Strewn Words on the Nature of Love
By John Briggs
e sun sets alone, much like we do, while the nearer moon helps our dear waters to breathe, in its turns preventing undesired stagnations. She yearns to lays roses on my death bed, and this she does, although some weeks it’s chrysanthemums when she finds herself running low on money. But never dandelions, oh no, for I always complained how they make such lousy wine.

Homemade hummus with truly unique taste
Hummus provides a delicious and healthy alternative to less nutritional dips. Versatile and available in various flavors, hummus can be whipped up at home for those who prefer to make their own dips. The following recipe for “Garbanzo-Carrot Hummus with Grilled Yogurt Flatbread” from James Campbell Caruso’s “España: Explore the Flavors of Spain” (Gibbs Smith) includes some Moroccan flavors that give this easy-toprepare recipe a truly unique taste.
Garbanzo-Carrot
Hummus
with Grilled Yogurt Flatbread
Makes 2 cups
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
Salt
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans, drained
4 teaspoons chopped cilantro plus 1 teaspoon for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
21/2 teaspoons ground cumin
11/2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chile flakes
2 teaspoons Moroccan Spice Blend (see below)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 batch Yogurt Flatbread (see below)
In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots with 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the carrots to drain and cool in a colander. Combine carrots and remaining ingredients, except for Yogurt Flatbread, in the work bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with fresh, hot Yogurt Flatbread cut in wedges.
Moroccan Spice Blend
Makes about 2 tablespoons
In a small resealable glass or plastic container, combine 1 teaspoon each of: ground cumin, ground turmeric, saffron threads, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground smoked paprika, finely grated lemon peel.
Yogurt Flatbread
Serves 4
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
21/2 cups plain yogurt
Olive oil
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the yogurt and mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Cover the work bowl and allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium. Scrape the dough from the work bowl and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a long log and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and use a rolling pin or tortilla press to flatten it into a 1/4-inch-thick tortilla shape. Brush each “tortilla” lightly with olive oil. Grill each for about 40 seconds then turn and cook another 40 seconds.

A li le kindness goes a long way
With all the negativity in the world right now, I am so grateful for the little things around us: the individuals who help each other, check on an older neighbor who lives alone, shovel or plow someone’s driveway when the snow piles up, hold a door open for the next person, say please or thank you to the retail or grocery worker trying to make ends meet, simply smile at another human being out somewhere, anywhere, because goodness knows, we need a little more kindness, human-ness today more than ever, and those little things can brighten someone’s day and make the world just a little more manageable.
Volunteers and donations
Thank you, wealthy neighbors who use their extra funds for good instead of hoarding it and snubbing the lesser fortunate in the community. I won’t name names, but thank you. We see you. We have hope for the future as our belts tighten and we wonder how we will make ends meet; it is refreshing to see you giving of your time when you could have just written a check (or done nothing at all and let someone else help out). The nonprofits do great work, and when all come together, rich, poor, and in between, that’s when our community is strongest. Thank you. I wish more people would give of their time and money to help their communities. We are only as strong as our weakest link.
The handshake at mass to wish someone peace was never a good idea. I like turning to face others and personally say peace with a friendly smile. Nothing sad, frustrating, rude or impersonal about this form of greeting.
Handshake in church
Construction safety
Today I witnessed something in [local town] that genuinely shook me. A driver ignored a flagger who was clearly holding a stop sign and drove straight into an active work lane. The flagger managed to pull the car to the shoulder so a construction vehicle could pass, but even then, the driver refused to follow directions and continued through the work zone. In that moment, one person’s impatience put so many lives at risk — the driver’s own life, the flagger’s life, the entire crew working only a few feet away, and every other driver on that stretch of road. Watching it unfold made it painfully clear how fragile their safety is. These workers stand in harm’s way every day so our roads can stay open and safe. They are parents, friends, neighbors — real people who expect to return home at the end of their shift.
Please: slow down, obey flaggers, and stay alert in work zones. Your choices behind the wheel could be the reason someone gets home safely… or the reason they don’t.

EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO FLY:
Sheila Young’s Message Takes Off
Sheila Young, airplane pilot, author, illustrator, photographer, and Byron-Bergen alum, returned to Byron-Bergen Elementary School to share a message about perseverance, possibility, and believing in big dreams.
Young visited students in grades K through 5 to read and discuss her debut children’s book, I See an Airplane Up in the Sky, a story inspired by her own childhood and her lifelong love of aviation. During the assembly, she spoke candidly about the obstacles she faced on her path to becoming a pilot, a photographer, and eventually a published author, encouraging students to keep reaching for goals that may feel out of reach.
“ is school is near and dear to my heart,” Young said. “ is is where I used to chase crop dusters, which is the first page of my book, so it seems perfect to bring the book back to where it originated.”
From Chasing Crop Dusters to Earning Her Wings
As a child, Young dreamed of flying but didn’t know
any pilots personally. Amelia Earhart became her early inspiration, though Young grew up long a er Earhart’s time. Despite repeated discouragement and numerous setbacks, Young earned her pilot’s license later in life, an achievement made possible in part by an unexpected mentor.
Young shared with students how an octogenarian named Al encouraged her when others told her no. With his support, she completed flight school and earned her wings, a milestone that emboldened her to pursue other long-held dreams. at spirit of perseverance formed the backbone of her presentation at the elementary school.
“I want to encourage you in whatever your big dream is,” Young told students. “I think most of us are more multi-dimensional than what appears on the surface. Just because you’re good at STEM activities, it doesn’t mean that your ‘big dream’ isn’t to be an artist or writer, or vice versa. Everyone is here for a reason, and everyone has the power to do great things.”
A Story She Once Needed Herself
e idea for I See an Airplane Up in the Sky grew from a story Young wished she had encountered as a child. e book’s main character, Sky, dreams of flying and, lacking wings or magical powers, decides to become a pilot instead. Young wrote and illustrated the book to inspire children – and especially girls, women, and older adults – who may believe certain dreams are impossible.
Her illustrations draw heavily from her professional photography, blending aviation imagery with imaginative detail. Young is a freelance photographer specializing in aviation (including WWII aircra ), nature, landscape, architecture, and portrait photography, with her work displayed in businesses, medical facilities, airports, and homes across the United States.
Beyond her creative pursuits, Young is deeply involved in aviation and community organizations. She is a proud member of e Ninety-Nines, the international organization of women pilots founded in 1929 by Amelia Earhart and others. She also participates in the Experimental Aircra Association’s Young Eagles Program, which introduces children ages 8 to 17 to flight, and volunteers with Honor Flight, a nonprofit organization honoring U.S. veterans. A chapter leader for Shut-Up and Write!, she also supports writers through regular community meetups.
Inspiring
the Next Generation
Byron-Bergen Elementary Principal Kristin Lo us emphasized the importance of alumni like Young returning to share their journeys, saying, “Our district really benefits from the depth and diversity of our alumni. e impact on our students from meeting adults who started in their shoes and who are now pilots, authors, firefighters, farmers, teachers, doctors, or who have achieved any kind of big dream, is invaluable.”
“The impact on our students from meeting adults who started in their shoes and who are now pilots, authors, firefighters, farmers, teachers, doctors, or who have achieved any kind of big dream, is invaluable.”
KRISTIN LOFTUS, BYRON BERGEN ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL
As the assembly concluded, Young stood by the exit, offering high-fives to each student as they filed out. Several paused to share their own aspirations, and she met each one with the same encouragement: “Great! You can do it!”
True to the message she shares through her work and her life, Young continues “sowing seeds of aviation aspirations for young and old,” reminding audiences of all ages to dream big and never stop chasing the sky.

ANSWERS TO COMMON PET FOSTERING QUESTIONS
Who pays for fostering costs? The question of financing foster care depends on the organization one works with. Most shelters or rescue organizations will cover at least some of the costs of supplies and medical care. However, this is not always the case. It is important for potential foster parents to understand the commitment fostering requires before signing up.
Frosty temps result in cold paws
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Fiero” is a robust outdoor cat who loves being outside all day and comes in at night. Recently, he came in limping a bit. I couldn’t see any damage to his paws, but the pads felt really cold and he didn’t like me touching them. Can cats’ paws freeze in the cold? -- Fred S., Madison, Wisconsin
DEAR FRED: Yes, cats absolutely can be injured in cold weather. While they are more inclined to find a warm and cozy spot, away from ice and snow, cats are still at risk of frostbitten paw pads, cuts from jagged ice or salt, hypothermia and possible poisoning from licking ice melt off of their paws.
I suspect that Fiero’s paw pads are frostbitten, and he may have gotten slightly hypothermic as well, especially if it was bitterly cold outside. Contact the veterinarian for guidance so that he recovers quickly from the injury.
While Fiero is happiest outside, you can create a space for him inside to watch birds and wildlife outdoors. Set up a window shelf that he can relax on while looking out of the window. Another option is to stream a “cat TV” channel. These increasingly popular live streams -- found mostly on YouTube -- are designed to draw cats’ attention to twittering birds and curious squirrels on the screen.
Additionally, give him an outlet for his excess energy. Place scratch pads throughout the house so he can sharpen his claws without destroying the furniture. Try different cat toys to get him to chase and play.
For less-bitter-cold days outside, set up a covered shelter in a sunny spot next to your house for Fiero to rest in. This can reduce the risk of a cold injury.
Working Out Which Plant-Based Milk Substitute Is Healthiest
DEAR DR. ROACH: Everyone in my family, except for me, has converted to using almond milk instead of cow’s milk. I just saw something on the internet stating that almond milk is possibly the worst plant-based milk substitute. I trust your opinion and research. Can you please educate me on what is best? Are plant-based milks really better than cow’s milk, and which plant-based milk is best? -- D.G.
ANSWER: When trying to compare plant-based milk substitutes with each other and with animal milks in their health impact, it’s important to look at what each of them have in terms of macronutrients and micronutrients.
Cow’s milk, like other animal milks, contains macronutrients like protein, sugars and fats, as well as micronutrients like calcium. (Most cow’s milk is fortified with vitamin D.) While most North Americans consume adequate protein, many people try to increase their protein intake through cow’s milk. Similarly, although the data are mixed, most experts agree that saturated fat, which is found in cow’s milk, increases heart disease risk. (Cow’s milk can be whole, low-fat, reduced fat or skim, varying in their percentages of overall fat.) However, cow’s milk contains beneficial fats like conjugated linoleic acid and methyl-branched-chain fatty acids. Most North Americans consume much more simple sugar than what is optimal with cow’s milk.
Almond milk has much less protein than cow’s milk (1 gram versus 8 grams), and the quality of the protein based on the amount of essential amino acids is less. Soy milk is much higher in protein than almond milk -- almost as much as cow’s milk, about 7 grams. Coconut milk has almost none. However, almond and soy milk have no saturated fat (or almost none) and more monounsaturated fats. Coconut milk has about the same amount of saturated fat as cow’s milk. Almond, soy and coconut milks are typically fortified with calcium to match what is found in cow’s milk, but the calcium in plant milks is not absorbed as well.
Almond milk can be bought unsweetened or sweetened with typically 7-8 grams of sugar per cup, compared to 12 grams per cup in cow’s milk. Cow’s milk has multiple other micronutrients naturally, while plant-based milk is fortified with vitamin A and D.
So, is your family right that almond milk is the worst? No, I don’t think so. In my opinion, the nonexistent protein and high saturated fat content of coconut milk makes it the least acceptable from a health perspective. Soy and almond milk seem like the better alternatives, but neither of them is really comparable to cow’s milk in terms of other micronutrients.
The choice of almond versus soy milk is not clear from a health perspective, so your taste preference should be your guide. In all cases of plant-based milks, I recommend unsweetened and unflavored products.
If ever there was a time to turn off the television -- especially during the evening news hour -- this is it. Between the stress and anxiety of current events that we can do nothing about and the shocking mistakes we see being made (not to mention the resulting disrupted sleep and rising blood pressure), we can easily just press the off button on the remote.
But what shall we do with our free time, once we have silenced the noise? We can read ...
“Homework for Grown-Ups: Everything You Learned at School and Promptly Forgot,” by Elizabeth Foley and Beth Coates, is a trip down memory lane of all the facts and tidbits you used to know.
The topics are covered in bite-size sections and include English language and literature, math, home economics, history, science and much more. Still wonder if you should use “that” or “which” in a sentence? Or you don’t remember the answer when your grandchild asks, “What’s the difference between a parallelogram and a rhombus?” Or if you need a refresher about rock, paper, scissors, the book will remind you. At the end of each section is a quiz with answers in the back of the book. If you read a few pages every day, you’ll find it addicting!
And we can write ...
When is the last time you wrote someone a letter? Not an email, not a text message, not a letter typed on the computer and printed out, but a handwritten letter on nice stationery with a matching envelope. And yes, they still make such things, sold in sets. While you’re shopping for stationery, consider buying a journal. If you make a habit of writing, without a daily dose of bad news, you’ll likely find yourself much more relaxed -- and happy!
Expect setbacks. If realizing resolutions was easy, the success rate would be greater than 8 percent. Setbacks are inevitable, so don’t allow them to derail your efforts. Even if setbacks occur when you’re well on your way to success, regroup and get back on track without getting down on yourself.
Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition. ~ Mignon McLaughlin, The SecondNeurotic’sNotebook,1966
