TOP 5 EASTER CANDIES!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs

Easter M&Ms

Jelly Beans

Chocolate Bunnies

Cadbury Creme Eggs What does the word Easter mean? Another theory suggests that the word ‘Easter’ originated from the German word for ‘East,’ also meaning dawn.

The most common Easter tradition is dyeing Easter eggs, including a lot of fun activities such as egg rolling and egg hunts. Flying kites and games like leapfrog are also popular, as well as games associated with the Easter bunny.

Chocolate and other candy, especially bunny- or egg-shaped ones are widely consumed. Pastel colors like pink, baby blue, and lilac are associated with this day and are seen everywhere on clothing, dyed eggs, and at events.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

A New Internet Scam

I’d thought I could identify an internet scam when it showed up, but there’s a new one out now. It’s slick and potentially dangerous if you fall for it.

It’s called the CAPTCHA scam. CAPTCHA stands for “completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart.” They are those annoying interruptions when you’re trying to access a webpage. You typically have to click a box to prove you’re not a robot.Then you have to type in the skewed letters on the screen and click all the parts of the streetlight, or car or bus or whatever the image is. All this before it allows you to go to the page you’re trying to see.

The newest scam is that these CAPTCHAs are spreading malware in your computer with every step.

This is a sneaky scam because we’ve been lulled into complacency about those CAPTCHA verification tests, and we might tend to just click on it to get through it. Things are different now. If you come across a CAPTCHA, check the address of the webpage by looking for “https” to be sure that little “s” is present.

Here’s how the scams work:

You might be instructed to download a file or to press certain keys. Or, after completing the first step, you might end up on a fake webpage that looks a lot like the one you were trying to get to.

Once you get through the steps, malware is installed on your computer without you knowing, and its job is to hunt for personal information on your machine.

If you suddenly get a CAPTCHA popping up when you don’t expect it, back out of the page. Don’t go there.

Even if you’re sure you’re safe, don’t download anything that a CAPTCHA steers you to.

And as always, keep good virus protection on your computer. (c) 2025 King Features Synd.,

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On April 25, 1719, Daniel Defoe’s “The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” is published. The book, about a shipwrecked sailor who spends 28 years on a deserted island, is based on the experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who spent four years on a small island off South America.

* On April 24, 1800, President John Adams approves legislation to appropriate $5,000 to establish the Library of Congress. The first books, ordered from London, arrived in 1801. Twelve years later, the library was destroyed when the British army invaded the city of Washington and burned the Capitol.

* On April 23, 1954, Hank Aaron hits the first home run of his Major League Baseball career. Twenty years later, Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s long-standing record of 714 career homers. Aaron retired from baseball in 1976 with 755 career homers.

Palmyra-Macedon Staff and Students Address Food Inequity Through District Caring Cupboard Food Pantry

Last spring, the idea of creating a school-based food pantry at Palmyra-Macedon Central School District first began to take shape. In collaboration with Wayne County Community Schools, staff at Pal-Mac were inspired by similar initiatives at other districts and began to explore how they could bring food equity to the district. November 2024, the Caring Cupboard opened, allowing families with children in the district access to essentials like food and hygiene products.

According to Kim Stewart, community and family outreach coordinator at Pal-Mac, the Caring Cupboard doesn’t operate like a drop-in pantry. When a family in the district wants to request food, they fill out a form on the website, scan a QR code from flyers around the school, or reach out to Stewart or Jose Quintero, the community schools coordinator.

“Once we learned about available grant funding, the process moved quickly,” Stewart explained.

“A representative from Foodlink conducted an inspection of our chosen space to ensure it met health and safety guidelines. Staff then completed online training on food ordering, safety, and handling.”

Foodlink also provided equipment, including shelving, a refrigerator, and a freezer. “From there, we focused on spreading the word and making families aware of this valuable resource,” Stewart said.

e Emergency Food Assistance Program, part of the United States Department of Agriculture, provides some of the food. Because of this, families are required to fill out a confidential attestation form once a year to access pantry resources. e surrounding community also helps by providing donations.

“ e Caring Cupboard has helped bring awareness to the fact that food insecurity exists right here in our own community,” Stewart said. “Seeing this need firsthand has motivated students and community members to step up and support local families in meaningful ways.”

Students actively participate in helping with the Caring Cupboard by helping unload food deliveries, taking inventory, and packing boxes when orders arrive. But confidentiality is critical, so they don’t handle anything that sacrifices the anonymity of the pantry’s services to the families that need it.

Some students have even organized their own initiatives around the pantry. Sixth grader Teagan Burke organized a hygiene and cleaning supply drive to help restock the pantry.

Eighth graders Addison Israel, Brogan Fielding, and Sarah George partnered with the Caring Cupboard as part of their Girl Scout Silver Award project in March, with the goal of assembling 250 travel hygiene kits for students in need. Le over kits will be donated to the Caring Cupboard and the Middle School clothing closet. “We learned people have to

the products that they needed,” Israel was quoted as saying in a News Hub article on the district website.

During school breaks, families who participate in the district’s Weekend Wellness Program or experience homelessness receive a message prompting them to fill out a form so they can get food boxes over the break. ey can schedule a pickup time and have the food delivered to their vehicles. Stewart noted that a significant barrier to food is transportation, so they’ve worked to eliminate that challenge by having staff deliver food directly to the home of any family who has transportation issues.

Stewart believes that having access to food allows students to focus in class better, be more engaged, and have the energy they need to succeed. She added, “It also strengthens our connection with families, reinforcing that the school is a trusted resource beyond the classroom.”

“The Caring Cupboard has helped bring awareness to the fact that food insecurity exists right here in our own community. Seeing this need firsthand has motivated students and community members to step up and support local families in meaningful ways.”
KIM STEWART

e hope is that students will continue to participate in the project through day-to-day maintenance and ongoing initiatives. Stewart says, “It has given them a sense of purpose and responsibility, knowing that their efforts directly help their peers. eir involvement in the Caring Cupboard is not just about helping others – it’s shaping them into compassionate, community-minded leaders for the future. By keeping students engaged in the pantry’s operations, we’re not only providing valuable assistance to families but also teaching [students] important skills in teamwork, organization, and community service – skills that will serve them well beyond their school years.”

TRICKS TO KEEP FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FRESH

Chill your arrangement: The experts at FTD by Design tested various theories for keeping floral arrangements fresh, including adding aspirin to the water or using sugar or concoctions that contain vodka. Sugar and vinegar served as a runner-up for long-lasting blooms, but the best solution for prolonging the flowers was putting the arrangement in the refrigerator each night for roughly eight hours.

Hats off to all the local peaceful protesters

Hats off to all the local peaceful protesters who gathered April 5th to express concerns about disruptions to federal programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Veterans Affairs, and the Affordable Care Act.

Anticipation

Music has a big impact on my life. And all it takes sometimes is a simple thought or word or phrase, and I’ll start singing, mostly in my head, but also out loud, a song that matches the idea. Carly Simon’s “Anticipation” comes to mind for this time of year... the advent of Spring. Sing along!

PSA: STOP signs mean you come to a complete stop before proceeding when it’s your turn to go. It seems most drivers consider STOP signs as YIELD signs instead. I’ve almost been hit by numerous drivers just gliding through. Sure, some slow down a bit, but it seems brakes are not even applied. Please stop at STOP signs.

Brighter Vent

Why does a local restaurant bother to stay open? The hours are never the same, they close in the middle of the day. We have driven 20 minutes to find it closed. The food is very good, prices are fair. BUT, they aren’t going to make it if this is a routine.

THIS SPRING, IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASS FISHING -AND YOUR BASIC GEAR

WEAR A BASE LAYER. A thin T-shirt is a must as a base layer, better if it is made of fabric that wicks away moisture. There are even some that are made to be water repellent and stain resistant with anti-odor properties for those in warmer climes. Since this is the layer that is in direct contact with your skin, you want something that will allow moisture to escape as you sweat.

Being Insistent About a Scan Saves the Life Of a Cancer Patient

DEAR DR. ROACH: About 12 years ago, I had a scan done to look for the cause of a problem that I was having for many months: pain in my abdomen and vomiting. (It turned out to be Barrett’s esophagus, which was found with a scope.) Fortunately for me, I read the report from the scan. The report said there was a spot on my kidney that ought to be checked in a year. I was very busy at the time, and my doctor retired, so I had to find another one.

Five years went by, and one day during a routine visit with my doctor, I remembered the report and asked my new doctor for another scan. She said she couldn’t order a scan without a reason. I then told her about the report from five years ago, but she did a cursory look at my papers and said she could not find it. I asked her to keep looking. She looked again, found it, then ordered a scan.

This move saved my life. The scan showed something larger than before. I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital and met a very good doctor who told me there was an 80% chance that I had cancer, and we should forgo a biopsy and remove it. He did this, and the cancer was fully contained. I didn’t have to do chemotherapy.

It has now been five years with yearly scans and no problems in my kidney. Please encourage people to read their reports. -- F.B.

ANSWER: : Although doctors should read these carefully and act on them appropriately, important findings can be overlooked sometimes. You are absolutely right that you are your own best health advocate, and you did the right thing by bringing the finding up to your new doctor.

GOOD FRIDAY

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus was condemned by his peers as King Herod and Pontius Pilate had found him not guilty of his crimes. But crowds were enraged, and Pilate reluctantly ordered his crucifixion rather than face a mass riot.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* One dung beetle can drag 1,141 times its own weight.

* The future Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding dress was entirely paid for with ration coupons.

* Red Solo cups have not only been honored in a song by country singer Toby Keith, they’re a common souvenir to bring back from the U.S. The novelty comes from their appearance in numerous movie party scenes.

* American children are given an average of $3.70 per lost tooth.

Scrapes and Cuts

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have an adventurous Shorthaired Pointer named “Gordie” who loves running through the woods behind my home while I walk behind him. He occasionally comes back with scrapes and cuts. I want to share with your readers how I take care of his minor injuries, and when a vet visit is necessary.

Most of the time, Gordie’s scrapes are very minor. I always check him when we get back to the house, because he can easily pick up ticks, too. I remove any clinging ticks and kill them right away. I check the pads under his paws, and run my hand along his coat to remove burrs. If he has a scrape on his side or paw, I clean it with warm water, disinfect it and put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it’s a place where he can scratch or lick, I cover it with a gauze bandage for a couple of days.

Last month, Gordie limped over to me with a deep laceration on his left front paw pad. Fortunately, we weren’t far from home. I carried him inside and gently looked at the injury. It wasn’t bleeding too badly, but the cut was very deep, and trying to clean it was very painful for him. This time, we had to see the vet. I wrapped his paw in gauze to protect it and off we went. The vet stitched him up, and Gordie has to wear a lampshade collar for the next week or so to let it heal.
