What role do nutrients play in the prevention of Covid-19?
Pandemic or not, food has always been a source of nutrition and energy. It is essential to focus on consuming a wholesome diet to stay fit and healthy. Given the current scenario where Covid-19 has become rampant as a global pandemic, it is even more crucial to ensure healthy eating. Your diet plays an important role in your health and immunity.
Although taking proper sanitary precautions is extremely important, what’s crucial is ensuring your body is able and ready to fight off this infectious virus. Read on and equip your body with proper immunity!
How does COVID 19 affect our vital organs?
One of the main organs the virus affects is our lungs. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, they release respiratory droplets, and if we come into contact with them, the virus settles itself on our mucous membrane lining our upper respiratory tract. The virus then starts replicating and infects the healthy cells. As it spreads lower and lower, it reaches our lower respiratory tract and eventually our lungs.
Imagine your respiratory tract like an upside-down tree. The trunk acts as your trachea which then forms smaller branches and at the end of these branches, you’ll find tiny air sacs called alveoli. This is where your blood exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide. When the virus enters the lung, it invades your alveoli and causes pneumonia making the lung inflamed and hence difficult to breathe.
With our lungs damaged, not enough oxygen is produced to reach the heart muscles, preventing it from pumping enough oxygen to other tissues in our body. This overworks our heart and injures our heart tissues. Also, when our body responds to the virus through inflammation, it may cause damage to the heart muscles leading to a reduced pumping ability and heart failure. This damage is more likely to occur in patients that are already having heart conditions.
How does strong immunity help to fight the virus?
When our immune system is strong, our body can detect foreign pathogens such as the Covid-19 virus and it can attack them before the virus gets a chance to establish itself in our body so we must build strong immunity through these immunity boosters.
1. Drinking water
The first step to keeping our respiratory tract healthy is by drinking lots of water, staying hydrated keeps our lungs lubricated, and prevents irritation. It also removes toxins from our bodies and prevents infections.
They’re not just for bodybuilders and weight lifters, they’re for you and me too. Did you know besides water and fat, our body is almost entirely made up of proteins? Proteins promote the synthesis of glutathione which is formed by combining the amino acids glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine. Glutathione ensures our body’s T-cells are functioning properly, these are a kind of white blood cells that attack invaders that cause infection. Glutathione also activates natural killer cells which are responsible for killing the virally infected cells and keeping our bodies safe.
Another reason protein is really important for our immunity is because our immune system produces antibodies which are made up of proteins to attack foreign invaders. Without proteins, our bodies wouldn’t have enough antibodies to destroy these pathogens.
Sources of Proteins
a) Lean meats
f) Nuts and Seeds
3. Selenium and Zinc
Selenium is an important antioxidant that reduces the amount of harmful substances produced by our body called as free radicals hence lowering inflammation.
Zinc is a vital component for WBC (white blood cell) formation to fight infections.
Sources of selenium and zinc
a) Brazil Nuts
c) Organs and muscle meats
f) Dairy Products
4. Omega-3 fatty acids
When we hear about fats, we think all fats are bad and we should cut them out, but did you know there are also good fats? One kind of good fat is omega 3 fatty acids. There are 3 types of omega 3 fatty acids that we need: ALA, DHA, and EPA.
These fatty acids help to increase the number of T and B lymphocytes (white blood cells), this, together with their anti-inflammatory properties helps to build our immune system, they also improve macrophage activity which are large immune cells that eat up bacteria and viruses.
Sources of ALA
a) Canola Oil
b) Soyabean Oil
c) Chia seeds
d) Flax seeds
Sources of DHA and EPA
a) Oily Fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines)
Fatty acids and their important role in lung and heart infection
Our body’s immune system causes inflammation in response to the virus in our lungs.
The inflammation damages the alveoli and makes them swell and scar. It also becomes filled with fluid making oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange difficult. When we eat anti-inflammatory foods like omega 3 fatty acids and selenium, it reduces the inflammation thereby preventing lung tissues from being scarred.
Omega 3 fatty acids also lower high triglyceride levels which are bad fats that increase our risk of heart diseases and stroke. It also helps to decrease blood pressure levels in heart patients who are at higher risk of getting Covid-19 heart damage. Another benefit of this fat is that it helps to prevent our blood platelets from clumping together and causing blood clots which are identified in hospitalized coronavirus patients.
Vitamin C is a crucial nutrient for boosting immunity. It acts as an antioxidant that protects your body against damage due to oxidative stress and improves symptoms of respiratory stress and flu.
Sources of Vitamin C
a) Citrus fruits
e) Brussels sprouts
a) A low-carb diet helps control your blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
b) A protein-rich diet will help in body repair and cell growth.
c) Eating foods rich in various vitamins and minerals will help boost your immunity and build your body’s resilience to infections.
What you should eat and drink
a) Drink warm water and stay hydrated.
b) Drink a glass of lemonade or any other citrus fruit juice with honey and jaggery.
c) Include spices in your daily cooking like cumin, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and carom seeds.
d) Focus on taking healthy fats like nuts and seeds.
e) Eat a protein-rich diet that includes lean proteins like legumes, pulses, lentils, sprouts, and white meat.
f) Fiber-rich foods like millets, vegetable soups, and leafy greens to be included.
e) Your plate should be as colorful as the rainbow with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
f) Add seeds like pumpkin, chia, sunflower and nuts like almonds, cashews, walnuts to your daily diet.
g) Try to include one cup of yogurt or buttermilk to improve your gut flora.
Dos when you are at home due to social distancing
a) Meal prep for your family beforehand. Buy your groceries well in advance and prepare your meals ahead of time.
b) Stock up on healthy snacking items like carrots, nuts, cheese, boiled eggs, yogurt dips, hummus, and chopped fruits.
c) Keep water handy always. Place a bottle of water in every room and close to your workspace.
d) Simple workout or yoga stretches at home.
a) Avoid eating outside food or food cooked in unhygienic surroundings.
b) Stop yourself from consuming cold drinks, canned juices, aerated drinks and other artificially colored and flavored drinks.
c) Reduce your intake of salt and sugar.
d) Stop snacking on processed foods, oily and junk food.
e) Avoid foods made with refined sugar, confectionery, and baked foods.
f) Stop smoking and avoid drinking alcohol.
Tips for food safety
Apart from eating healthy during Covid-19, it is crucial that you focus on keeping your food safe before you consume it. Practice food hygiene and safety to ensure good food habits. Follow these steps to maintain food safety and clean eating.
a) Keep your cooking area clean and tidy.
b) Separate raw food from cooked food while handling salads, meats, and fish.
c) Cook your food thoroughly and avoid eating uncooked foods.
d) Store meat and fish at safe temperatures to avoid spoilage.
e) Use portable clean drinking water to cook your food and clean your raw veggies and fruits.
Add these immunity boosters to your diet and share this valuable information with your friends and families!

Dito Telecommunity plans to offer a wireless home broadband service later in 2021, on the back of its 5G network.
In a briefing with reporters on Thursday, September 9, Dito chief technology officer Rodolfo Santiago said the telco is conducting a user friendly test for the service.
“We know that this is the faster way of providing fixed broadband services to the home. Short and medium term, we are going to do the 5G FWA (fixed wireless access) as our means of providing that service, but eventually, we are going to fiber-to-the-home,” said Santiago.
Dito chief administrative officer Adel Tamano said the service will be offered by the fourth quarter of 2021.
6 million users
For the month of September, Dito will offer its mobile services to 53 more areas, bringing the total to 286.
Dito is also expecting to end 2021 with a total of 6 million subscribers.
Tamano said the telco gets 20,000 new subscribers every day. So far, Dito has drawn 2.6 million subscribers in its first nine months of operations.
The telco also invested P4 billion for its submarine cable project which would minimize network faults and provide better services to users.
Dito passed its second technical audit, recording a minimum average broadband speed of 89.13 megabits per second and 853.96 Mbps for its 4G and 5G sites, respectively.


regular intake of meals rich in processed red meat and sugary drinks be
the reason for reducing life span and life expectancy of Nigerians?
CHUKWUMA MUANYA writes.
THE rising incidence of cancer,
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stroke, and kidney failure,
especially in developing countries like Nigeria has been linked to
growing patronage for processed red meat products and sugary drinks.
Red meat, especially processed meat, contains ingredients that have
been linked to increased risk of chronic diseases, such as
cardiovascular disease and cancer. These include heme iron, saturated
fat, sodium, nitrites, and certain carcinogens that are formed during
Several researches have shown that the body may
compensate for the sugar rush of soft drinks by making its own supply of
fats, and some of these will be bad for the heart. Tests on blood
samples showed those who drank the sugary beverages tended to have
higher levels of dangerous blood fats and of proteins linked to heart
disease. Levels of ‘good’ cholesterol were lower.
A new study by
researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), United States
(U.S.), published online Tuesday in Archives of Internal Medicine, found
that red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of
total, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
However, the results
also showed that substituting other healthy protein sources, such as
fish, poultry, nuts, and legumes, was associated with a lower risk of
Also, according to research published in Circulation,
an American Heart Association journal, men who drank a 12-ounce
sugar-sweetened beverage a day had a 20 per cent higher risk of heart
disease compared to men who didn’t drink any sugar-sweetened drinks.
prospective study of over 500,000 people published in Archives of
Internal Medicine concluded: “Red and processed meat intakes were
associated with modest increases in total mortality, cancer mortality,
and cardiovascular disease mortality.”
The study population
included the U.S. National Institutes of Health–AARP (formerly known as
the American Association of Retired Persons) Diet and Health Study
cohort of 500,000 people aged 50 to 71 years at baseline.
intake was estimated from a food frequency questionnaire administered at
baseline. Cox proportional hazards regression models estimated hazard
ratios (HRs) and 95 per cent confidence intervals (CIs) within quintiles
of meat intake. The covariates included in the models were age,
education, marital status, family history of cancer (yes/no) (cancer
mortality only), race, body mass index, 31-level smoking history,
physical activity, energy intake, alcohol intake, vitamin supplement
use, fruit consumption, vegetable consumption, and menopausal hormone
therapy among women. Main outcome measures included total mortality and
deaths due to cancer, cardiovascular disease, injuries and sudden
deaths, and all other causes.
Lead author, An Pan, research fellow
in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH said: “Our study adds more
evidence to the health risks of eating high amounts of red meat, which
has been associated with Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease,
stroke, and certain cancers in other studies.”
including senior author Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and
epidemiology at HSPH, and colleagues, prospectively observed 37,698 men
from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study for up to 22 years and
83,644 women in the Nurses’ Health Study for up to 28 years who were
free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer at baseline. Diets were
assessed through questionnaires every four years.
23,926 deaths were documented in the two studies, of which 5,910 were
from CVD and 9,464 from cancer. Regular consumption of red meat,
particularly processed red meat, was associated with increased mortality
risk. One daily serving of unprocessed red meat (about the size of a
deck of cards) was associated with a 13 per cent increased risk of
mortality, and one daily serving of processed red meat (one hot dog or
two slices of bacon) was associated with a 20 per cent increased risk.
specific causes, the corresponding increases in risk were 18 per cent
and 21 per cent for cardiovascular mortality, and 10 per cent and 16 per
cent for cancer mortality. These analyses took into account chronic
disease risk factors such as age, body mass index, physical activity,
family history of heart disease, or major cancers.
serving of total red meat with one serving of a healthy protein source
was associated with a lower mortality risk: Seven per cent for fish, 14
per cent for poultry, 19 per cent for nuts, 10 per cent for legumes, 10
per cent for low-fat dairy products, and 14 per cent for whole grains.
The researchers estimated that 9.3 per cent of deaths in men and 7.6 per
cent in women could have been prevented at the end of the follow-up if
all the participants had consumed less than 0.5 servings per day of red
“This study provides clear evidence that regular consumption
of red meat, especially processed meat, contributes substantially to
premature death,” said Hu. “On the other hand, choosing more healthful
sources of protein in place of red meat can confer significant health
benefits by reducing chronic disease morbidity and mortality.
study adds to the growing evidence that sugary beverages are
detrimental to cardiovascular health,” said Prof. Frank B. Hu, study
lead author and professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the Harvard
School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts. “Certainly, it
provides strong justification for reducing sugary beverage consumption
among patients, and more importantly, in the general population.”

obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, diabetes and poor diet.
who studied 42,883 men in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study,
found that the increase persisted even after controlling for other risk
factors, including smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol use and family
history of heart disease. Less frequent consumption - twice weekly and
twice monthly - didn’t increase risk.
Researchers also measured
different lipids and proteins in the blood, which are indicators, or
biomarkers, for heart disease. These included the inflammation marker
C-reactive protein (CRP), harmful lipids called triglycerides and good
lipids called high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Compared to non-drinkers,
those who consumed sugary beverages daily had higher triglyceride and
CRP and lower HDL levels.
Artificially sweetened beverages were not linked to increased risk or biomarkers for heart disease in this study.

The Dalles girl’s tennis got off to a rousing start Friday in the first day of play at Oregon Dual Match Championships at Bend High School with a 5-3 win over Mountain View.
On the day, the Eagle Indians received solid contributions from Robin Pashek, Kiana Pielli and MJ Murillo for three singles wins to spearhead the charge.
TD coach Debby Jones was pleased with this effort, especially since it has been several years since the Tribe enjoyed the fruits of victory over the Lady Cougars.
“Some of the top teams in the state are here and we knew we would have our work cut out for us,” she said. “The girls decided that they would be the group to turn things around with an inspiring win.”
Pashek kicked things off with a lopsided No. 1 win over Brandy Graham, taking the two sets by margins of 6-3 and 6-0.
Pielli kept things moving in the second set, using an opening set 6-3 decision and following that up with a 6-1 tally to cruise past Missy Burke for another sweep.
“(It was a) great all-around performance by Robin and Kiana in their dominant straight-set wins at No. 1 and No. 2 singles,” Jones said.
Murillo had to work overtime to grab her No. 3 singles win, as she started out riding a 6-4 win in the opener to take a 1-0 advantage.
Mountain View’s Charlotte Shaney bounced back with a 6-0 win in the second set to move this duel into a third-set match breaker.
Murillo staked control early in the finale and motored home for a 10-3 score to clinch things.
It was Murillo’s win that ultimately secured the match win for the Tribe.
On the doubles side, Johanna Wilson and Anna Miller could not be contained in their No. 1 matchup versus Cole and Johnson.
The Eagle Indian tandem inched ahead in the first set by a 6-4 score and completed the two-set win with a 6-3 tally.
Abby Minnick and Emma Ell-Smith rode a surge of their own in their No. 2 tussle versus Culbertson and Woolhiser, taking this match in straight sets by marks of 6-4 and 6-2.
“The doubles combos of Wilson/Miller and Minnick/Ell-Smith joined the party and set the stage for us needing to win at least one more match to capture the team win,” Jones said.
The Eagle Indians nearly had another win come from the rackets of Rebekah Kohltfarber and Brittany Watkins, as their match went to three grueling sets.
Mountain View won the opener by a 6-4 score, but Kohltfarber and Watkins jumped off the deck for a 7-5 triumph to force a decisive third game.
In the final frame, both teams fought and scratched and clawed, not wanting to give an inch, but the Cougar duo of Weber and Miller dropped the last two points to claim a 10-8 triumph.
TD’s Julissa Marquez lost her No. 4 singles match by counts of 6-1 and 6-0, and the No. 4 team of Cassie Vazquez and Ellie Trujillo suffered a 6-1, 6-1 loss.
“This was a huge win for us,” Jones said. “Looking down the bank of courts, I was pretty pumped to see that we had won the first set on all four courts. The news kept getting better with those first triumphs turning into match wins. I was really pleased with the efforts of all 12 girls.”
With the win, the Tribe moved ahead into the winner’s bracket with a tough showdown versus Corvallis.
Unfortunately, TD could not sustain its momentum, as the Lady Spartans came through with an 8-0 win, with all the matches decided in straight sets.
Pielli had the closest match in the singles division in a 6-4, 6-1 loss to Regan Orman.
Wilson and Miller had a close match at No. 1 doubles, losing by scores of 6-3 and 6-2, and at No. 2, Minnick and Ell-Smith were upended, 6-2 and 6-4.
Even in defeat, Jones looked at the bright side of matters.
“I really believe our best tennis was produced in the loss,” she said. “This was a great learning experience and I hope motivation for our young team. Corvallis has some definite state contenders and the opportunity to play against this level of competition was a privilege.”
The Dalles finished tournament action Saturday.
At 4 p.m. Wednesday, the Eagle Indians play host to Pendleton for their season finale at 4 p.m.

Home comforts for Illawarra’s title push
Tim Barrow - Illawarra Mercury
ILLAWARRA coach Wade Forrester will allow injured duo Stewart Mills and Jacob Denford every opportunity to be fit in the region’s pursuit of a fourth consecutive CRL Championships crown.
Helensburgh centre Mills has an Achilles problem and Corrimal captain Denford a niggling ground complaint after Illawarra’s thumping 30-6 semi-final win over Central Coast.
The Illawarra squad will train twice this week before making a call on their fitness for the final, to be played against Newcastle at Collegians Sports Centre on Saturday. Forrester said the team deserved the chance to defend Illawarra’s title after a dominant effort in Dubbo.
“At this stage, we’ll be 1-17,” he said.
“There’s a bit of concern over both guys, but we want to give them every chance, so we’ll just wait and see.
“I took Jacob off early (on Saturday), just as a precaution. We’ll train with a couple of shadow players this week, but I want to reward the boys who have done the job.”
Chasing a fourth consecutive crown, Illawarra raced to a 16-0 lead in 13 mintues, before Ty McCarthy extended it to 22 points five minutes before half-time.
Central Coast hit back straight after to head to the sheds at 22-6, but tries to winger Andrew Toohey and five-eighth Jarrod Boyle secured their passage to the final. Forrester said the team was yet to discuss the significance of winning a fourth consecutive crown, another chapter in a decade of Illawarra dominance, means.
“It’s not something we’ve really talked about,” he said.
“It’s there, in the back of the mind and to win another one at home would be huge for Illawarra. The boys have earned the right to play at home, in front of their family and friends, who haven’t always had the chance to see them when we play away.”
However, Forrester delivered a warning another CRL success wouldn’t come easily.
Bitter divisional rivals Newcastle will arrive in Wollongong on Saturday full of confidence, after steamrolling Canberra in the late stages of Saturday’s other semi-final.
Newcastle won 28-6, scoring three tries in the final 18 minutes after leading 8-nil at half-time.
“We know Newcastle well, we know what they’re going to throw at us,” Forrester said.
“They’re a big physical side and we’re going to have to be up for it.
“We started well (against Central Coast), but went away from the plan a bit. There were a few balls that went out the back, but we also played well in patches.”

SEOUL, Dec. 26 (Korea Bizwire) — CJ Logistics Corp., a major South Korean logistics firm, said Thursday it completed the relocation of historical structures in Turkey to prevent them from potentially being submerged by a dam project.
The Hasankeyf project, launched in 2017, involved transporting 23 units of ancient structures aged well beyond 500 years from Hasankeyf in southern Turkey without disassembling them to a safer place where they aren’t at risk of being submerged, according to CJ Logistics.
The town is well known for its rich historical remains. The company said it decided to relocate the pieces without disassembling them to minimize damage to their historical heritage.
The pieces, delivered by Dubai-based affiliate CJ ICM, were relocated to a park located 4.7 kilometers from the site by self-propelled modular transporters.
The combined weight of the ancient pieces transported is estimated to hover above a whopping 12,000 tons.
Some of the major pieces relocated include the 1,150-ton Zeynel Bey Tomb and the 2,350-ton Er-Rizk Mosque, as well as the 1,500-ton Artuklu Bath, according to the company.
The company said the entire process of the delivery was carefully calculated by its team of experts to maintain balance and reduce vibration.
The project was aimed at saving the buildings from being submerged due to the ongoing construction of a hydroelectric power plant in the area.

A concerned grandmother and two other parents from a New York school district were arrested and charged with trespassing and banned from attending a school board meeting on October 26, days after a school principal who allegedly molested dozens of schoolboys was released from jail by posting bail.
Former Northwood Elementary School Principal Kirk Ashton from the Hilton Central School District is still being paid by the district despite being hit with dozens of charges related to child sex crimes. Superintendent Casey Kosiorek sent an email to parents last month saying there would be “additional security present outside Northwood” on the day of Ashton’s release.
Parents with concerns ranging from Ashton, their children’s curriculum, COVID-19 restrictions, and recent disciplinary actions from the district showed up to the Hilton Central School District school board meeting to have their voices heard and their questions answered.
Instead, they were denied in-person access to the meeting, kicked out to a school parking lot where they were met with sheriff’s deputies, allegedly smeared as “insurrectionists” by security — an accusation the district has called “erroneous” — and three of them were arrested and charged with trespassing, one of whom was followed home and ticketed by deputies after they agreed to let her go home to take medicine.
The school board meeting was held behind closed doors that evening. No parents were allowed to attend in-person.
The school district has said that one of the parents was arrested for refusing to wear a mask, and the other two were arrested for refusing to leave the school when asked, WHEC 10 News reported. The meeting was allegedly “suspended” by School Board President Brian O’Connor and Superintendent Casey Kosiorek after “a group” of parents were being “disruptive,” the report said.
When asked why the meeting was blocked to other parents who were reportedly following their guidelines, Hilton Central School District’s Communications Director Grace Scism said via email, “The Board of Education looks forward to hearing public comments at future meetings. We request that all community members follow Board of Education and New York State protocols. The meetings are conducted using Robert’s Rules of Order.”
One of the two adults who was arrested for allegedly refusing to leave the school, Dawn Fox, a 53-year-old grandmother to a student at the Hilton Central, told The Daily Wire she peacefully left the auditorium, as did the other woman, when asked. They were then, however, charged with trespassing for being outside in a parking lot, along with others, video posted on Facebook shows. It’s unclear why the two women were singled out by security for the arrests, aside from perhaps being the two most vocal.
Fox told The Daily Wire that deputies followed her to her home and then ticketed her for trespassing at the school.
“You want me arrested for asking you questions?” Fox recalled the incident to The Daily Wire. She said security directed law enforcement to have her arrested, and authorities complied, telling her it was out of their hands; a so-called “turnover arrest,” video shows.
“Unfortunately, if somebody is a representative of a private property … open to the public … wants you arrested, [we have to comply],” a sheriff’s deputy told one of the arrested women, video shows. “This is not us as the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office arresting you, it’s the Hilton Central School District saying that they want you arrested, and we have to facilitate that arrest. It’s a turnover arrest.”
Fox said she was bewildered by the call for her arrest and became “very upset” and “panicked.” As she felt her heart beating faster, she says, she told the deputies she wanted to go home to take her medicine. They agreed she could do so and followed her home. When she got out of her vehicle at her own home, she was ticketed with trespassing at the school.
Fox said she was not put in handcuffs during her arrest, though Hilton mom Shanierae Iorio, 42, was cuffed when she was hit with the trespassing charge.
“We were in the auditorium and then the incident happened with Jim [Burroughs], and he left,” Fox said of the start of the evening. Burroughs was charged with trespassing for refusing to wear a mask while the parents gathered in the auditorium, awaiting school board members.
“We didn’t even know at that point that he had been arrested,” she explained. “The board never came out. So, parents were just talking … a couple of students and a couple parents.”
“All of a sudden, a security guard disrupted what we’re doing and told us we have to leave, so we all got up and we left. He said if you don’t leave you’re gonna be arrested,” the grandmother said, adding that she heard parents were told they could “assemble outside.”
Fox expressed to The Daily Wire that the mask incident with Burroughs seemed disconnected from the parents being kicked out of the auditorium, since the incident happened approximately 20-30 minutes beforehand, she estimated.
“We were told that someone reported to them (the school board) that we were unruly and that we were insurrectionists,” Fox said. “And that was not the truth at all.”
After parents obeyed the directive to leave the auditorium, some started to realize the school board was going ahead with the meeting without them. According to Fox, a nurse came out of the school and confirmed as much.
While parents were assembled outside, video shows security direct authorities to arrest Fox. The grandmother told The Daily Wire that it’s unclear why she was singled out when there were other parents outside, too, but said it was likely because she was vocal and said she would not leave.
After it was made clear Fox was going to be arrested, Iorio said she should be arrested, too, since she was allegedly perpetrating the same “violation” Fox was. Video shows deputies arrested her, too, telling Iorio they were merely complying with a request from security.
In a statement provided to The Daily Wire, Fox’s lawyer Daniel E. Strollo accused the district of “weaponizing arbitrary mask policies to silence parents and community members who are rightfully speaking out against arbitrary and oppressive policies.”
“Ms. Fox had an absolute and unequivocal right to attend that meeting under New York’s Open Meetings Law (Public Officers Law Article 7) and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution,” Strollo said. “The Hilton School District violated Ms. Fox’s rights by kicking her out of that meeting.”
Strollo added that “school officials must understand that they are not kings, and boardrooms are not their castle.”
“As far as Ms. Scism’s comments are concerned, the School District ought to be reminded that the Open Meetings Law is not merely a suggestion that they are free to disregard at their whim.”
Before Oct. 26, Fox told The Daily Wire she had never attended a school board meeting, but decided to go out of concerns stemming from Ashton — who’s still being paid by the district — COVID-19 restrictions, and general curriculum.
What happened with Ashton is a “big concern” to her, she said. “We wanted to know what was going on … What is actually going on [with curriculum]? … We don’t like the whole masking and we’re concerned the vaccine will become mandated for students, soon.”
“I’m disappointed that they couldn’t even face us,” Fox said of the school board. “They didn’t even come out and talk to us, at all.”
Adding to Fox’s account, a parent who has children in the district and wished to remain anonymous told The Daily Wire that the parent was told by “numerous people” that head of security Dave Inzana was the one to tell school board members not to hold the meeting with the parents because they were staging an “insurrection.”
“He (Inzana) told the school board there was an insurrection going on and not to come out,” the parent said. “Then [he] told the parents the board refused to come out because parents weren’t wearing masks.”
Fox told The Daily Wire she heard rumors that parents were deemed “insurrectionists.” She emphasized that she did not witness the account firsthand and was unable to pinpoint who allegedly called the parents “insurrectionists.”
“The statement regarding our Head of Security is erroneous as he did not state that parents were inciting an insurrection,” Scism told The Daily Wire via email on Monday about the allegations concerning Inzana.
Strollo commented on Inzana, too, suggesting the head of security perjured himself, seemingly to cover for the district barring parents from the meeting.
The district “compounded their wrongful conduct,” he said. “The Hilton School District then lied to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, which resulted in Ms. Fox’s arrest for Trespassing.”
“Mr. David Inzana signed a document — under penalty of perjury — alleging that at 8:05 P.M., Ms. Fox trespassed at the school ‘due to the fact that the board of education meeting had ended and she no longer had legitimate business being on the property,'” Strollo explained. “A video of the board meeting shows that this is completely false.” (The Complaint can be read here.)
“The Hilton School District’s own video shows board meeting was very much still going on at 8:05 P.M. There is a clock visible in that video that shows that the meeting was going on before 8:00 P.M. and continuing until almost 8:30 P.M.”
Strollo provided to The Daily Wire a screenshot of the clock near the start of the school board meeting and one toward the end of it:
“I anticipate that the baseless criminal charges against Ms. Fox will be dismissed, and I can assure you that we are exploring all options to hold the Hilton School District accountable for its wrongful conduct,” Strollo warned.
The Daily Wire reached out to the office of Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter last week to ask why the parents were arrested and charged with trespassing, and specifically why a grandmother was followed home and charged with trespassing. Notably, mother Shannon Joy was arrested at a neighboring Fairport Central School District school board meeting and charged with “trespassing” for improperly wearing her mask. The charge was quickly dismissed.
The sheriff’s office directed us to Hilton Central’s communication director and sent the following response:
On Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021, at the request of the Hilton Central School District, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Hilton Central School Board Meeting being held at 225 West Ave., Hilton. Three individuals were asked repeatedly by school staff to leave the property and refused. MCSO issued appearance tickets to three individuals for Trespass (a violation):
James Burroughs, 45, Hilton
Shanierae Iorio, 42, Hilton
Dawn Fox, 53, Hilton
Below is Strollo’s statement in its entirety:
On October 26, 2021, Dawn Fox sought to attend a Board of Education meeting at the Hilton Central School District. Ms. Fox had an absolute and unequivocal right to attend that meeting under New York’s Open Meetings Law (Public Officers Law Article 7) and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Hilton School District violated Ms. Fox’s rights by kicking her out of that meeting.
They then compounded their wrongful conduct. The Hilton School District then lied to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, which resulted in Ms. Fox’s arrest for Trespassing.
Mr. David Inzana signed a document — under penalty of perjury — alleging that at 8:05 P.M., Ms. Fox trespassed at the school “due to the fact that the board of education meeting had ended and she no longer had legitimate business being on the property.”
A video of the board meeting shows that this is completely false. The Hilton School District’s own video shows board meeting was very much still going on at 8:05 P.M. There is a clock visible in that video that shows that the meeting was going on before 8:00 P.M. and continuing until almost 8:30 P.M.
This is yet another example of school district officials weaponizing arbitrary mask policies to silence parents and community members who are rightfully speaking out against arbitrary and oppressive policies.
I anticipate that the baseless criminal charges against Ms. Fox will be dismissed, and I can assure you that we are exploring all options to hold the Hilton School District accountable for its wrongful conduct.
School officials must understand that they are not kings, and boardrooms are not their castle. As far as Ms. Scism’s comments are concerned, the School District ought to be reminded that the Open Meetings Law is not merely a suggestion that they are free to disregard at their whim.

Station owners say new auto inspections costly
BOSTON - Ray Silva said the Newton service station he took over from his father last year does about 300 auto inspections a month. But if a proposed state program is approved, his station might not do any.
"You're making it hard for me to stay in business," Silva said yesterday during a Statehouse hearing on the proposed auto inspection changes.
The program calls for hiking the cost of annual inspections to $23, with station owners keeping $15.66. Station owners currently keep $12.50 of a $15 fee.
But Silva and others said the extra $3.16 they would receive wouldn't be enough to offset the $700 monthly fee for equipment and maintenance.
Silva, 28, who lives with his wife and three children in Framingham, said he didn't know if he would sign the seven-year contract not knowing if he would lose money on the inspections.
The state has argued that the program, set to go into effect in October, was the best compromise to meeting federal clean air standards while keeping hassles and costs down for consumers.
"We think we've come up with a fair balance," said Andrea Carneiro, director of public affairs for Department of Environmental Protection.
The DEP, the Registry of Motor Vehicles and the Executive Office of Administration and Finance are expected to finalize the regulations by the end of May, Carneiro said.
While there are about 2,200 stations conducting inspections under the current system, Carneiro said that number may drop to between 1,200 and 1,500.
"We feel confident we'll have enough stations to do the program," Carneiro said.
Also testifying against the proposed fee was freshman Rep. Vinny deMacedo, D-Plymouth, who owns a gas station and convenience store. DeMacedo said his station doesn't conduct inspections, but he understood the problems facing small businesses.
He said some stations only do inspections now because they hope they will bring them related business.

Advice from a Newby to a Newby by Allison Howard
Hello, my name is Allison Howard and an Illustrator/Author on the Creative Kids Tales site and one of the illustrators on the 2017 CKT collective (and one story). I am mainly an illustrator and I have all the fine art degrees you can think of all the way from Diplomas to Masters, I have run the full gamut; (still thinking of doing my PhD but have to convince my family first.) I am still considered an emerging artist, as I haven't had my "big break" yet, but still working on it.So how did I end up here, writing a blog for the CKT, I hear you ask?
My journey is not an exciting one, but I feel it is one of perseverance, which is something you need to have when embarking down this path. Let me start at the end of my scholastic journey and the start of my "real" world experience.
At the end of November 2011, I was a little nervous, winding up my Masters of Fine Arts degree at Monash University. Setting up for my first solo exhibition, and excited about the future. I knew what was going to happen, I was going to leave my Dental nurse career behind and stride out into the art world, get involved, and make art that people would respond to and remember. However the main thing I was experiencing was a little nauseous, occasionally ravenous, but mostly just exhausted.
What do you think happened next?
At 37 years of age, I was just leaving university, applying for job positions along with 60 other "more experienced" people, and newly pregnant!!! How do you think I went?
No galleries or even retail stores would look at me. NO matter, that was all right as I wanted to start my own craft business and sell my wonderful illustrations/textile work at markets, become successful and make my fortune that way. How do you think I went?
OK, with my failing craft business, a demanding toddler, a stressed-out husband, and not being able to afford childcare or save to buy a house. I swallowed my pride and headed back into Dental assisting. What a quick round trip that was.
During this time all my creativity started to slip away. My brain filled up with distraction, worry, stress, no sleep and frustration. Every time I tried to create, all I was faced with was a massive blank page and a strange humming sound in my head. So I stopped. I even found it hard to read which was the absolute worst. However do not feel awful for me, all was not lost.
In the middle of 2014, my amazingly intuitive cousin Kim (awesome lady) put me onto the wonderful 52 Week Illustration Challenge founded and run by Tania McCartney and Kirsty Collett, and I got involved. I started drawing and creating again, and as I started posting regularly, I could feel my old-self starting to come back. I started to draw again and paint and even get back into my embroidery work. Then the best thing happened I found my arty/crafty again, it was, and still is wonderful.
This is where Georgie Donaghey and her Creative Kids Tales initiative came in.
As I got more involved with the illustration group. I started chatting to other members, and I found out about Georgie and how her site helps support illustrators and Authors alike and was another way to promote your work. So I got on board and when the opportunity came up to help illustrate the CKT Collective book I jumped at it.
Now here I am with my big toe in the door of life again, instead of white noise, I see numerous amounts of colours and the sound of clarity. So this is how I came to be here. What advice can I give you when you are faced with challenges written above?
1 – MOST IMPORTANTLY - Learn to say NO to projects
I have completed drawings and undertaken projects for people where it has been a complete waste of time and to add insult to injury, these people expected this work to be for free. Not only is that frustrating but also heart breaking as you start to realize that no one really appreciates your time or hard work. So my tips for recognising this are:
- They start asking you by saying "In you spare time can you ……"
- They become difficult with your suggestions on how you will complete the work.
- Demanding unrealistic time frames usually this starts out with "Oh you could whip something up couldn't you?...."
- Or they tell you it will be easy "Anyone can do it surely?"
2 - Correct people when they tell you your art is a hobby.
If you listen to these people and not debate them, you will start to believe it and then your work will become mediocre. Don't let anyone else get inside your head; it is your own space, leave the negative strangers out.
3 – Most of all take the time to find your own "Style".
Create the way you want, not according to how you tube tells you, your teachers, or what you learnt at University. Appreciate what you do, and how you do it, and WHY your do it. Then no matter how many people respond to your work you will be at peace with it and that is what we all are searching for.
Good luck my friends and I hope to see you all on the other side of Newbiedum xoxo

The stunning Volute water feature by Tills Innovations. A vortex being captured and displayed in clarity and detail. What appears to be a solid piece of glass with a spinning vortex. A mesmerising water feature. - My Cool Garden
This is similar to the display at American Soil we liked with the capped wall surrounding the river and fountain rocks - but would the true roundness accentuate the irregularity of the stone edge around the larger circular area?
Good example of large water feature in an alpine setting done well. Stones and boulders should be of the same rock type/color and weathering, and be planted in such a way as to suggest they are the weathered portion of a massive formation just below.

Health also passes from the head and, in particular, from what we apply on the head and hair. And from today we know that special attention should be given to chemical straightening hair treatments that, if used in excess, could increase the risk of uterine, ovarian and breast cancer in women. This emerges from a very recent scientific research published in the Journal of The National Cancer Institute by American scientists from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, North Carolina (Chang et al, JNCI, Oct 2022).
Hair products, risks and benefits
Hair products have been under the magnifying glass for some years due to the possible presence of substances designed for the beauty of the hair but which could act causing hormonal alterations and cellular degeneration. More attention is given to hair products than other personal care products as the substances contained in these cosmetics are absorbed by the scalp much faster. This ability to absorb increases if there are also wounds and burns on the skin, which are often associated with hair treatments such as straightening treatments.
Straightening treatments increase the risk of uterine cancer, the study
Researchers, in a previous study, had already observed that the regular use of permanent dyes and chemical straightening treatments are associated with a higher risk of developing, over the years, ovarian and breast cancer in women who use it extensively. In the study we are talking about today, the researchers analyzed data regarding the habits of resorting to permanent dyes, straightening and relaxing treatments for the hair and the health conditions of 33,497 women. The volunteers were all aged between 35 and 74 at the start of the study and were followed for 11 years. What emerged is that those who use hair straightening chemicals the most, i.e. more than 4 times a year, also have a higher risk, estimated to be more than double, of developing uterine cancer than those who use less of these products. The substances found in hair straightening products, such as parabens, bisphenol A, heavy metals and formaldehyde, are believed to contribute to increasing the risk of uterine cancer.
Other studies will follow to understand exactly which chemicals are responsible for the increased risk of cellular degeneration. In the meantime, however, this article makes us understand the importance of paying attention to the quality of the products we use for our hair.
