How to prepare for winter storm season Though it’s now firmly in the rearview mirror, the winter of 2025-2026 may prove hard to forget for millions of people across North America. Marked by particularly cold temperatures and considerable snowfall in many parts of the continent, the winter of 2025-2026 has undoubtedly prompted countless individuals to wonder what they can do to prepare to make future winters a little more manageable. No one knows for certain if a winter will be mild or marked by extended periods of chilly temperatures and heavy snowfall. But preparing for harsh

system. Such an audit can catch any issues before the cold weather arrives, and a tuneup can make sure the heater works efficiently, which can save homeowners lots of money on energy bills.
• Test your home heating system. MidAtlantic Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment reports that winter temperatures in the mid-Atlantic were two to four degrees below normal for the entire region during the winter of 20252026. Faced with such chilly conditions, many people leaned heavily on their home heating systems to stay warm. Prior to this winter, it can be beneficial for homeowners everywhere to conduct a home heating system audit to ensure a heater is working at peak capacity. A professional HVAC technician can run a battery of tests to assess an existing
• Inspect your tools and replace them, if necessary. Items that help make life outside more manageable in winter also should be assessed prior to the arrival of cold weather. The winter of 20252026 was snowier than usual in some parts of North America, while other areas received considerably less snowfall than they’re accustomed to. For example, the Blue Hill Observatory reported a much snowier and stormier winter in the northeastern United States in 2025-2026. So chances are residents in areas that experienced heavy snowfall put their snow blowers to good use a year ago. In advance
of this winter, inspect snow blowers to ensure they’re operational and capable of handling another potentially stormy winter. If not, replace the items or repair parts that need fixing. It’s also good to examine snow shovels prior to the season. Doing so in advance of winter ensures the tools will be fixed and ready to go once the first snowfall occurs. • Gather some nonperishable provisions. The American Red Cross urges people to gather food, water, and medicine if a storm is in the forecast. Stores might be closed once the storm approaches or touches down, so gather these items well in advance. Include bottled water among the provisions as some storms can knock out access to drinking water. The Red Cross recommends keeping a one-month supply of medications and medical supplies on hand just in case a storm makes it hard to leave home or prevents access via delivery • Keep some supplies in a vehicle. Even if a storm does not prevent travel, that does not mean a vehicle will find the roads smooth sailing. Prepare in advance for potential car troubles by keeping emergency supplies in the vehicle. Blankets, an extra sweater, and a hat for each person who routinely travels in the vehicle, and a small but well-stocked first aid kit, can help should drivers find themselves stranded on the road during a winter storm. Winter storm preparation should include actions that ensure the safety of residents both inside and outside the home.

Chicago bringing 60 years of hits to Seneca Allegany Event Center Seventeen of their first 20 albums were certified platinum, nine of those multiplatinum, and “Chicago 17” (1984) hit platinum six times.
BY DEB EVERTS SALAMANCA — The band Chicago is bringing its timeless hits and performing their unique signature sound at the Seneca Allegany Event Center at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14.
Among Chicago’s honors, their debut album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2014. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2016. In 2017, founding members Robert Lamm and James Pankow were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the band received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2020.
After nearly 60 years of performing, Chicago has become one of the most popular rock bands of all time. With a foundation built on a prominent horn section, the group is one of the most successful and influential bands in rock history. Second only to the Beach Boys in terms of singles and albums, they had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and ’80s. In addition to original band member and songwriter Lee Loughnane on the trumpet and flugelhorn, the rest of the current touring group features Ray Herrmann, saxophone/ flute; Wally Reyes Jr., drums; Ramon “Ray” Yslas, percussion; Nick Lane, trombone; Tony Obrohta, guitar; Eric Baines, bass/vocals; Carlos Murguía, keyboards/vocals; Justin Avery, keyboards/vocals; and newest member Rudy Cardenas as lead vocalist.

The current touring group features original member Lee Loughnane, Ray Herrmann, Wally Reyes Jr., Ramon “Ray” Yslas, Nick Lane, Tony Obrohta, Eric Baines, Carlos Murguía, Justin Avery and newest member Rudy Cardenas.
In 1967, Chicago musicians Walter Parazaider, Terry Kath, Danny Seraphine, Loughnane, James Pankow, Robert Lamm and Peter Cetera formed a group first named The Big Thing with a dream to combine all the musical diversity from their beloved city and create a new sound — a rock ‘n’ roll band with horns.
Thing originally performed and released their debut album with a new name, “The Chicago Transit Authority.” Following the release of their first album, the real-life municipal transit company threatened legal action over the use of their name and the band shortened their name to Chicago to avoid a lawsuit.
In June 1968, they moved to Los Angeles under the guidance of their friend and manager James William Guercio and signed with Columbia Records. In 1969, The Big
Within a year, the group had three Top 10 singles — “Make Me Smile,” “25 or 6 to 4” and “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is” — and were selling out arenas from coast to
coast. Since its inception, Chicago has recorded 38 albums and sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making them one of the longest-running and bestselling music groups ever. Rolling Stone recognized the group as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era,” while Billboard ranked them as the highest-charting American band in its Top 125 Artists of All Time.
Throughout Chicago’s career, they have scored over 20 Top 10 hits in the U.S. Billboard charts. Their most notable chart-toppers include “25 or 6 to 4” (1970), “Make Me Smile” (1970), “Saturday in the Park” (1972), “Just You N’ Me” (1973), “If You Leave Me Now” (1976), “Baby, What a Big Surprise” (1977), “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” (1982), “You’re the Inspiration” (1984), “Will You Still Love Me?” (1986) and “Look Away” (1988). Other popular hits include
“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”, “It Better End Soon” and “I’m a Man” from their performance in Amsterdam in December 1969. Renowned blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa said, at the time, they were one of the most innovative bands in the world with some of the best musicians. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the band Chicago stands as one of America’s most successful rock bands of any epoch in terms of both sales and longevity.
Chicago has also won two American Music Awards, being named Founding Artists of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and were honored with a Chicago street dedicated in their name, along with keys to and proclamations from numerous U.S. cities. In 2025, the “Chicago Transit Authority” recordings finished No. 1 as audio treasures worthy of preservation for all time in the public nominations of the Library of Congress. In his blog, jbonamassa. com, Bonamassa said, “Chicago’s music has never left the airwaves and the band remains on tour more often than not, playing concerts in every corner of North America. Even today, the band isn’t just about nostalgia — they continue to record new singles and albums regularly.” Chicago will kick off its milestone 60th anniversary celebration in January 2027. The band plans include more touring, new music, a new movie and even a Christmas album. For more information about the group and its hits, visit online at chicagotheband. com.

South Dayton artist showcased at Cattaraugus County Museum MACHIAS — Anewed Permanence, a new exhibit at the Cattaraugus County Museum and Research Library, features the work of South Dayton artist Thomas Makovitch and highlights some of his works inspired by his experience living in Cattaraugus County. “When you look at the works in Anewed Permanence, you are seeing the physical record of an ongoing search across Cattaraugus County, centered on a historic apple orchard along Cottage Road in South Dayton,” Makovitch explained. “The objects and forms in this exhibition were shaped through a dynamic process that moves between field research and studio casting.” Makovitch’s studio practice is based right along Cottage Road in South Dayton, which is where the bulk of his physical work takes place. Anewed Permanence covers Cattaraugus County in a larger capacity, as the source materials — botanicals and ephemeral prints at the heart of this project — were gathered while traveling across the wider county. “This body of work
performs a site-specific artistic archaeology, examining the subtle overlap between local history, land use, and discarded consumer remnants across Cattaraugus County,” he said. “Anewed Permanence investigates material hierarchy, memory, and spatial relationships by capturing short-lived occurrences, such as tire tracks, soil textures and remnants, then translating them into durable sculptural forms, paintings, photographs and gathered found objects.”
and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores local history, material hierarchy and the physical mechanics of landscape accumulation. He holds a BFA in sculpture from SUNY Fredonia and an MFA in studio art from the University at Albany. His studio practice is rooted along Cottage Road in South Dayton, where he creates site-specific sculptures, prints, paintings and photographic works derived directly from field interventions across Cattaraugus County.
Walking the local orchard grounds, Makovitch brings a portable batterypowered station and heat guns directly into the landscape. By heating two distinct types of thermoplastic on site, each with unique physical qualities, the plastic becomes soft and pliable enough to press directly against ground surfaces, tree bark, tire tracks and soil textures.
A recipient of a 2026 New York State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Grant for his body of work Anewed Permanence, his work has been exhibited across galleries and juried exhibitions.
As the plastic cools in place, it creates a rigid, highfidelity reverse impression of the physical earth. Back in his studio, these initial field impressions are preserved and expanded. He then creates multi-part silicone molds backed by

remnants, and local flora collected from the area as custom printing tools. By rolling ink or paint directly onto these gathered items, their natural shapes and textures leave precise impressions on paper and canvas,” Makovitch explained. “Alongside the physical objects, staged photographs showcase
found materials and flowers arranged into quiet compositions, while 4-by6-inch process photographs interspersed throughout offer a window into the apple farm where these impressions were gathered and transformed.” Makovitch is a Western New York-based sculptor

Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas in the works for Dec. 4 ELLICOTTVILLE — Plans are underway for the 21st anniversary edition of Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas, set for Friday, Dec. 4 in the Brew Hall at Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC), presented by The Bob McCarthy Foundation. A special education teacher in Buffalo and a ski coach in Ellicottville, McCarthy made Ellicottville his permanent home after retirement. Events he spearheaded include Celtic Thunder, Americana Folk Art & Music Fair, Farm Fest, The Great Snowboard Auction, Lawn Tractor races and many more that continue to be local
lore. Called both a “mad genius” and “the voice of Ellicottville,” his community outreach touched many who hold those memories of him close.
kick off the holiday season at 6 p.m. in a bigger and better fashion than ever, organizers said, with up-tempo Irish music from Krikwater providing the soundtrack for a gathering of friends old and new.
McCarthy’s most recognized event was Irish Christmas, which provided funding for Santa’s Workshop, helping less fortunate families with a holiday dinner and gifts at Christmas. After his passing in June 2016, the Foundation renamed this event in his memory. This annual party now fuels most of the funding for his namesake Foundation and Santa’s Workshop while also supporting the Sheriff’s
Santa program and ECS Shop with a cop. The Bob McCarthy Foundation focuses year-round on providing a quiet helping
hand by funding local families’ needs and community programs. Irish Christmas will
The live, silent and basket auctions offer a wide variety of items to fit everyone’s budget and help with Christmas shopping. Admission is free, with beer and wine available at a $5 special from EBC and The Winery of Ellicottville. Again this year, local restaurants will present the Taste of Ireland dinner for $5. Auctioneer Brooks Lefeber will lead the live
auction with a limited number of unique items accompanied by a baked pie or cake from Ellicottville bakers. A silent auction allows organizers to keep the live auction brief so attendees can enjoy the music and each other’s company. For the basket auction, over 40 baskets will be available to win, with 20 tickets for $25, including a ticket for many door prizes, all donated by local businesses. Anyone wishing to donate a basket is asked to contact the Foundation. For more information or to donate directly to the Foundation, visit bobmccarthyfoundation. com.

Can these foods help fight the common cold? When a person gets a cold, he or she may read or hear about all sorts of potential remedies. Indeed, everyone seems to have their own unique take on how to combat the common cold, and food is often a component of those remedies. But are certain foods really more helpful than others when treating the common cold? The dynamic between food and the common cold is complex. Certain foods may offer temporary relief to people battling a particularly tough cold. But those foods should not be mistaken as a cure. Recognition of which foods might help combat the common cold and what’s behind their effectiveness may help people the next time they develop a cold. • Chicken soup: Perhaps no food is more widely cited as a
remedy to the common cold than chicken soup. Chicken soup helps to hydrate the body and that can help loosen mucus and alleviate congestion. Hot soup also produces steam, which can alleviate some congestion. If a cold is accompanied by a sore throat, the warm broth of chicken soup can alleviate that soreness. • Hot tea: It’s not just food but also beverages that can help people combat a cold. The benefits of hot tea mirror those of soup, as a warm cup of tea can soothe a sore throat and promote hydration that helps to thin mucus. But it’s important that people with a cold choose decaffeinated tea, as caffeine can contribute to dehydration. Verywell Health notes that chamomile tea contains antioxidants and compounds that can lessen inflammation.
• Greek yogurt: Few people may reach for yogurt when they have a cold, but the Pittsburgh-based UPMC HealthBeat notes that Greek yogurt is rich in probiotics, which are friendly bacteria that support a strong immune system. Greek yogurt also offers easily digestible carbohydrates and ample protein, both of which can provide a body with the energy it needs to recover from the common cold. • Garlic: Garlic isn’t just a remedy to ward off vampires. It’s also helpful when fighting a cold. While the experts at Verywell Health note research on the dynamic between garlic and the common cold is limited, a 2016 study published in The Journal of Nutrition found that aged garlic extract may help lessen and reduce
the severity of upper respiratory symptoms like cold, congestion and sore throat. A separate study from 2020 published in Trends in Food Science & Technology traced those benefits to the fact that garlic increases the number of immune cells in the body.

Improving storage in common areas Increasing storage capabilities at home is a popular goal among many homeowners and renters. Despite how much space a person may have at home, there’s often a desire to have more or maximize the areas that are there. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, there are an estimated 51,206 storage facilities operating in the United States today, and MJ Partners Self-Storage Update says 11.1 percent of households currently rent at self-storage facilities. IBISWorld indicates the Canadian self-storage industry has grown at an average annual rate of 3.1 percent over the last five years. People often turn to external storage facilities to house their belongings when space is at a premium at home. Others may focus their organization energy on closets, garages and basements to free up room. But common areas
around the home also can provide additional sources of storage. Common areas are locations where people come together for activities. Living room/family room Living rooms and family rooms are areas of the home where people spend many hours. These tend to be multifunctional spaces where people entertain, lounge and even enjoy movies or gaming. Possibilities in these living spaces that can create extra storage include furniture that serves double-duty. For example, a storage ottoman adds decorative appeal but also can be filled with board games or books. Cabinet-style TV stands may not be as streamlined as mounted versions, but they’re ideal places to stash games, remote controls and other accessories. Entryway An entryway or
mudroom can quickly succumb to clutter. When organizing such a space, think about the needs of the household. A storage bench will be a place where everyone can sit to put on shoes, and then stow footwear underneath when not in use. A wall-mounted
rack can hold the current season’s jackets or sweaters, as well as purses or backpacks for easy access. A shelf with some hooks can store keys or hold a basket to store the daily mail. Hallway and closet Closet organization
systems can be the unsung heroes in closets utilized by multiple members of the family. These customizeable components can be sized accordingly for the space, and then configured as needed with a balance of shelves and hanging racks. An out-of-the way
nook or long hallway can be enhanced with a bookshelf to hold photo albums or that library that only continues to grow as new reading material is acquired. Homeowners can make common areas more functional with the addition of storage.
