FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY
Both January and February originally had 28 days. However, at the time, even numbers were considered to bring bad luck, so Pompilius added another day to January. However, February was left with 28 days and had long been considered an unlucky month.

AARP membership: It’s w th having
After many years at the same cost, AARP increased their membership fee to $20 at the beginning of this year. But it’s still a bargain when you consider the additional benefits, savings and discounts that are available, as well as the newspaper and magazine.
The website (aarp.org) lists discounted gym memberships, travel and vacation packages, insurance, flowers and so much more. If you need computer help such as hooking up to a wireless network or printer, you can get 15% off the Norton Ultimate Help Desk.
The health benefits especially are worth considering. If you suspect you need hearing aids, AARP Hearing Solutions offers a free hearing exam and then 20% off hearing aids, should you need them.
If you need at-home physical therapy, AARP offers the service through Luna, and it’s covered by Medicare, Aetna, Anthem and Cigna.
Check the Optum Rx page on AARP’s website for prescription drug discounts. Enter your drug in the search box and it will find the best price. Print out your discount card or have it sent to you in email.
In my area, I qualify for discount tires, Dr. Scholl’s shoes (20% off) and half-price car washes, among other things.
The discounted items aren’t the only thing you’ll find with AARP. The Tax Aide Locator is set up to help low and moderate income seniors with tax preparation -- or, if you prefer to do it yourself with just a little bit of coaching, they can provide that, too.
The advice and how-to columns alone are worth the cost of the membership. Digitizing your old home movies, tips to help prevent falls and seven ways to avoid germs at the gym are just a few of the current columns on AARP’s online front page.
To learn more about the benefits of an AARP membership, check the website or give them a call at 888-687-2277. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.
THE TRAVELING CABARET
Song, Dance & Comedy
for 35 Years
BY SUZIE WELLS

is year marks a remarkable milestone for the Traveling Cabaret, a volunteer performance troupe, as they celebrate their 35th anniversary on July 4th. Since its founding in 1990 by twins Phyllis and Sandy Kravetz and Linda Maloney, the cabaret has performed over 590 shows, raising funds for student scholarships and various charitable organizations while delighting audiences.
e cabaret’s performances are anythingbutordinary,andtheKravetz sisters say, “Audiences know to expect the unexpected.” Unlike a traditional chorus, the troupe incorporates props, costumes, and choreography into each number, creating a dynamic experience for audiences. From fastpaced Broadway and movie tunes from the 1920s to modern day, to comedy routines and holiday-themed numbers, shows are designed to entertain people of all ages.
e troupe, comprised of eight members as well as pianist Bob Dietch and sound expert Bruce Dunn, meets weekly to rehearse while balancing personal and professional lives. Some members are now retired, while others maintain full-time careers. Despite these commitments, the cabaret remains central to their lives. Phyllis beams, “I’m proud of our little group. It makes you feel nine feet tall to bring joy to the community and raise money for the charities. It makes us feel good that we generate money for worthy causes.”
roughout the years, the Traveling Cabaret has been featured across regional media and has garnered accolades for their contributions to the cultural vitality of the Rochester community. ey have received thirty-eight grants and various commendations, including certificates of achievement from the MonroeCountyLegislature,NYSSenate,andlocalgovernments.
e troupe’s efforts were recognized by the Arts & Cultural Council of Greater Rochester during their 10th anniversary celebration, and they have been honored with the JC Penney Golden Rule Award for community service.
e group’s enduring success and camaraderie are evident in Phyllis’reflection:“Wearelikeabigfamilyandhavetheopportunity to meet so many people—we mingle with the audience, answer questions. No group lasts 35 years, but we’re doing something right to still be together today.”
Phyllis and Sandy add, “ ere’s so much bad in the world. It’s fun to provide something fun for our audiences. When we look out at the audiences, no matter the ages or demographics, heads are bobbing, toes are tapping—it goes straight to our hearts.”
Traveling Cabaret performances continue to delight audiences at venues ranging from restaurants and gazebos to churches and private homes. Attired in their signature red, white, and black evening wear, they bring a polished and spirited energy to each show. eir holiday performances are particularly anticipated, featuring both beloved classics and lighthearted pieces like “ChristmastimeisNoTimetoDiet”and“ e8DaysofHanukkah.”
e cast’s diversity and dedication exemplify the unifying power of music and performance. Cast members hail from all walks of life, including retired dental hygienists, an IT expert, a respiratory therapist, a social worker, retired bank representative, and a retired Eastman Kodak employee. Despite their varied backgrounds, the members share a common passion for bringing joy to others through song and dance.
As they approach their 35th anniversary, the Traveling Cabaret stands as a testament to the power of community, dedication, and the joy of performance. Indeed, the Traveling Cabaret continues to prove that music can bring people together, create lasting memories, and inspire generations to come.

CHEWING GUM TO PREVENT CAVITIES
When it comes to dental health, saliva is your best friend (after brushing and flossing, of course). Saliva provides a host of benefits to your mouth and teeth: it neutralizes decay-causing acids, washes away food and debris, fights disease, and increases calcium and phosphate, both of which help build tooth enamel. Chewing sugarless gum for twenty minutes after meals is a clinically proven way to increase the flow of saliva, improve mouth health, and decrease the risk of tooth decay. Gums labeled with the ADA seal are always sugar free, so look for their symbol when you shop. While chewing gum that contains sugar will also increase the flow of saliva, the bacteria produced by the sugar creates decay-causing acids.
Many people are not aware of the important role saliva plays in
oral health. Or that a simple pack of gum can work wonders towards achieving optimum oral hygiene . At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we pride ourselves in knowing the ways we can help keep your teeth and gums, and therefore your entire body, healthy and strong. Enjoy the feeling of a fresh, clean, healthy mouth – call 585.343.4246 for an appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre. We’ll help you keep your teeth and gums in the best shape possible. We’ll give you a reason to smile!
P.S. Sugarless gum is sweetened by substances such as stevia, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, or aspartame.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD
Is PTSD a recent phenomenon? - PTSD has been around as long as there have been traumatic events, though its name is more recent. The APA notes that PTSD has been known by various names in the past, including “shell shock” and “combat fatigue.” These names are no longer used in part because they give the impression that post-traumatic stress is exclusive to combat veterans. That’s a misperception, as the Sidran Institute, a nonprofit organization that helps people understand and recover from PTSD, notes PTSD will affect one in 13 people in the United States and 9 percent of Canadians at some point in their lives.

Elderly man weighs 84 pounds decades after his stomach removal
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Is 18 years a record for living without a stomach? A family member had stomach cancer when he was 70 and had his stomach removed. He consulted with a dietician and has been able to eat small but frequent meals. He can also take enzymes, vitamins and other things, but slowly he has lost weight.
Now at 88, he is down to 84 pounds, and his muscles are also affected. He used to play racquetball regularly, but this came to an end during COVID and wasn’t picked back up after the pandemic. He can no longer walk without assistance. They are putting a feeding tube into his small intestine to supplement what he usually eats. Are you familiar with this type of thing? What else can be done, or is this the end? Will he starve to death? -- Y.F.
ANSWER: I have seen many patients with stomach cancer and have never seen this degree of weight loss, but weight loss is very common after removing the stomach. This degree of weight loss is very disturbing and usually results in a worse outcome, so effective treatment is overdue. A feeding tube, which isn’t often the appropriate treatment for weight loss, seems to be an important short-term treatment. I assume that he has had extensive evaluations for the recurrence of diseases, including CT scans. You mention that he has been getting vitamins; B12 and vitamin D levels are often profoundly low after gastrectomy (removal of the stomach), so these should be checked, even if he has been on replacements. If no other cause is found, it might be worth a try to use an appetite stimulant.
In addition, I would formally measure his total calorie input in a day to see whether the problem really is that he isn’t getting enough calories. I would be worried that he isn’t absorbing all of them.
There is no reason for him to starve to death. In the very worst case, nutrition can be given intravenously while they figure out why he is losing so much weight.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 84-year-old male in amazingly good health and have great physical abilities, but after running about 3 miles, I noticed some minor chest discomfort. After a calcium score test and stress test, my doctor wanted to place stents in my coronary arteries.
I read a National Institue of Health study from 2020 regarding stent outcomes versus medication and lifestyle changes, and it showed no difference in the outcomes. So, I decided not to do the stents.
I no longer do any distance running, but I do weight training and a stationary bike exercise for 10 minutes without any chest issues. I now take statin drugs, blood pressure medicines, and baby aspirin.
Are you familiar with this study, and am I doing a reasonable thing by not having the stents inserted? -- T.E.
ANSWER: Whether stents are beneficial in people with stable coronary artery disease remains somewhat controversial. Although stents in combination with a healthy diet, exercise and medication may improve symptoms better than lifestyle changes and medication alone, there is no data to show an improvement in lifespan or in preventing heart attacks.
Your cardiologist wanted to reduce your symptoms, but if you aren’t having any now, then stenting isn’t indicated. If you had to reduce your running because of chest discomfort, then stenting might possibly allow you to do more exercise without having these symptoms.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

A love unbroken, Woven by the fates, Set in motion by the universe, It finds you
Whether their hands are rough or gentle, eir voice so or heavy, eir love defiant, Refusing to fit in, e world‚‘s narrow box
You may not see it, May not recognize them at first
But you will know. In time, e red thread tightens, Drawing you home

Thank you to the person who picked up our afternoon tab at Longhorn Steakhouse on Tuesday, Feb. 4th in Victor. You left the restaurant before we had the chance to thank you. It may be possible that you heard me ask about them offering a military discount. We appreciate your generosity
Shoppers ank You
Thank you to the clerks at Five Below, Brockport, NY. I was shopping before Christmas 2024 in a couple of places and on the way home discovered I had lost one of my rings. Not just any ring, one that my parents gave to my Aunt many years ago and I received after my Mother passed. Black Onyx with a small diamond in center. One of the clerks found it and kept it up front. On a whim a couple days later I asked the cashier if they had found a ring. YES! she pulled it out. I was so thankful. I wanted to reward them but they said they couldn’t accept anything. You really deserve to be held in high esteem. Thank you so much for being so good.
Lost Special Ring
Why do employers care so much more about profitability than taking care of their employees? I may sound like a senior, but I am far from it, old enough to know a time when my boss/es valued me, my time, my work, and young enough to not understand why current employers don’t care that inflation raises costs of absolutely everything in our lives, and yet they do not give raises. Put your money where your mouth is and help us care about the company we work for. To be told outright that they value our work, to see consistently increased prices charged to customers/clients, to see the bosses take extravagant vacations and/or drive new vehicles, buy or build new homes, but to be told “We don’t give raises”?! No wonder employees are becoming more and more disenfranchised and apathetic toward their companies/ employers/jobs in general. What is this world coming to if half of a company’s small employee base is forced to take on second jobs to make ends meet?! Do better.
Shopping centers, please stop kids from “joyriding” around your stores on the electric handicap carts. When it’s obvious they’re playing and don’t need it, security or management need to intervene. Then legitimate handicap people can use them.

POTENTIAL CULPRITS BEHIND THINNING GRASS
Leaf spot
The Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Amherst notes that leaf spot diseases affect both cool- and warm-season turfgrasses. Various fungi can cause leaf spot. Symptoms and the timing of the appearance of leaf spot will vary depending on which fungi is causing the problem. For example, bipolaris sorokiniana, which affects grasses in warm, wet summer months, produces small spots that are dark purple to black. Dreschslera poae is another fungi that causes leaf spot, and it also produces dark purple to black spots. However, it tends to appear in the spring when the weather is cool and moist. Understanding the different fungi and when they typically strike can help homeowners identify what is causing their grass to thin. In such situations, professional landscapers can be invaluable resources as well.

DID YOU KNOW?
In a survey of 3,500 working professionals, Allied Van Lines found that 17 percent had relocated for a job. Roughly 50 percent of those who relocated did so for career advancement and/or more money, while 8 percent moved to be closer to family or for other relationship reasons. Moving is often characterized as stressful, and 31 percent of survey respondents who moved indicated that finding a home was the most challenging part of relocating for a job. Acclimating to a new community (29 percent), finding services such as utilities and medical care (13 percent) and making friends (12 percent) were also cited as some of the most challenging parts of relocating for a job. As difficult as relocating can be, 64 percent of those who had relocated expressed positive sentiments toward their job relocation, while just 7.5 percent harbored negative feelings about relocating (28 percent were neutral).

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.
Please submit a resume, cover letter and 1 or 2 writing samples to our General Manager: manuelk@featuredmedia.com

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE
Use your network. The notion that “it’s not what you know, but who you know” has some truth to it. Successful jobseekers continually expand their professional contacts. This is achievedbygoingtoinformational interviews, attending trade association meetings and reviewing trade publications. Target people who work at the companies where you see yourself, so you can get the inside track about job openings.
