Be sure to look for the signs! The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office is con- stantly monitoring the prevalent scams. Un- fortunately, scammers evolve their methods in response to the lat- est news and trends, so the scams constantly change. Below are tips that will help prevent someone from becoming a victim of a scam: • Do NOT give out So- cial Security Numbers. • No business or gov- ernment agency will ever ask for payment through gift cards or green dot cards. Be cautious of text messages, emails, and/ or social media mes- sages. Do NOT click on any links until you verify the sender. • Do NOT allow re- mote access to devices (phone, computer, etc.) • If you get a phone call from companies asking for money, slow down and think about the conversation. Scammers frequently attempt to in- duce urgency or anxi- ety to prompt impulsive reactions without con- sidering the requested actions. • Only make financial transfers (Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, etc.) to individuals you are ac- quainted with and veri- fied as the intended recipients. • If you are ever un- sure about something, call your local law en- forcement before taking any action. Thanksgiving is a time to gather with family and friends and reflect on one's blessings. In 2022, Canadian Thanksgiving takes place on October 10, while Americans celebrate on November 24. In anticipation of these holidays, here are some interesting facts about the Thanksgiving celebration. 1. American Thanksgiving is largely modeled on a 17th century harvest feast shared by the English settlers and the Wampanoag tribe. 2. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the sec- ond Monday of October. It is based on European harvest festivals. 3. The National Turkey Federation says around 45 million turkeys will be eaten on Thanksgiving, which equates to about 720 mil- lion pounds of turkey being consumed (with the aver- age turkey size being 16 pounds). 4. The Butterball hotline answers roughly 100,000 calls every year on its tur- key question hotline. 5. In 1953, the Swanson company overestimated the number of frozen turkeys it would sell for the holiday season by 26 tons. Rather than waste the meat, Swan- son sliced it up, repackaged it and created the first frozen TV dinners. 6. Thanksgiving in Amer- ica may be older than many recognize. While Thanksgiv- ing is largely tied to the 17th century settlers, the National Parks Service says in 1565 Spanish settlers in St. Augus- tine (now Florida) celebrated by having a meal to which they invited the native Seloy tribe. The Spanish served pork stew, sea biscuits, red wine, and garbanzo beans. Some say the Seloy con- tributed turkey, venison and maize. 7. Thanksgiving didn't become a civic holiday until Abraham Lincoln made it one after the Civil War tragedy. Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday on October 20, 1864. 8. The Pilgrims did not refer to themselves as "pil- grims." They used the word "separatists" as they were separating themselves from a larger belief system. 9. In addition to Canada and the United States, Gre- nada, Liberia, the Philippines, Saint Lucia, and the Nether- lands celebrate their own ver- sions of Thanksgiving. 10. Each year, the Ameri- can president "pardons" a turkey from slaughter on Thanksgiving. This tradition dates back to when Abraham Lincoln's son was upset that his family's turkey that was going to be killed for Thanks- giving dinner. 11. According to the U.S. Calorie Control Council (CCC), an average American may consume 4,500 calo- ries and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day. 12. The Macy's Thanks- giving Day Parade is an an- nual tradition. People line the parade route in New York City or tune in to watch the parade on television. It origi- nated in 1924 and the famed balloons were added in 1927. 13. Apple pie is the pie of choice for Thanksgiving, even though pumpkin pie is prevalent this time of year. Thanksgiving is a popular holiday in Canada and the U.S. Many traditions have been borne of the holiday, and it is a favorite time of year for many people.
