Community NewsFall is here. Out

of all the seasons,Fall is my favorite.The evenings aregetting shorter, thenights are gettingcooler and

Halloween and Thanksgiving arejust around the corner. Fall is oneof the most beautiful times of theyear, producing leaves inmagnificent shades of yellow,orange and red.

Autumn may be here, but thatdoesn’t mean the growing seasonis over. Yes, that’s right. SinceOctober is the first full month ofAutumn, it’s the perfect time tofall in love with fresh produce.Here is what’s in season:

Vegetables: Beets, Brusselsprouts, leeks, lettuce, kale,cabbage, pumpkins, peppers,potatoes, okra, parsnips, turnips,sweet potatoes, watercress andwinter squash.

Fruits: Apples, cranberries,dates, figs, grapes, pears,persimmons and raspberries.

The birthstone for October isthe opal. A poem written for theOctober birthstone is : “October’schild is born for woe, and life’svicissitudes must know, But lay anopal on her breast, and hope willlull those woes to rest.” This poemreflects some of the properties

with which the Opal isassociated—hope, innocence andpurity.

Belmont Village birthdaywishes go out to Ed Neely, AnnieFaye Gardner, Mary Ann Calvert,Marlyn Gieseking, Patricia Heicken,Gaynell High, Bobby Brown andDavid Hilburn.

Best Regards,Jan Boatright

Hand-Washing TipWith cold and flu season

underway, it’s more importantthan ever to wash your hands tofight germs. While many of uswere taught to always use soapand warm water, the Centers forDisease Control and Preventionreports that when it comes tokilling bacteria, the temperature ofthe water doesn’t matter—theamount of time spent scrubbingdoes. Using cold water will saveenergy as well as prevent the skinon your hands from becomingcracked and dry.

Fact or Fiction: MythsAbout the Common Cold

In the thick of cold and fluseason, people will believe justabout anything in order to feelbetter and prevent any ickyencounters. But does science backthe advice you’ve been followingfor years? Here are some commoncold remedies and preventiontechniques from WebMD.com andthe truth behind their claims:

Claim No. 1: Washing hands iscritical. Fact: Colds are spread bytouching someone or somethingwith cold-causing viruses and thentouching your nose, eyes ormouth. Wash hands thoroughlyand often.

Claim No. 2: Feed a cold, starvea fever. Fiction: There’s no solidevidence that colds get better withfood or that you shouldn’t eatwhen feeling feverish. It’s moreimportant to listen to your bodyand eat when you’re hungry.

Claim No. 3: Bundle up oryou’ll catch a cold. Fiction: Whilecolds are more common in colderseasons, you can’t catch one fromlow temperatures.

Claim No. 4: Taking a showerwill make you feel better. Fact: Ahot shower can loosen cloggednasal passages to help youbreathe.

Claim No. 5: You’ll catch a coldby going outside with wet hair.Fiction: A wet head will just makeyou cold. It won’t give you a cold.You catch a cold from germs.
