The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian.The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines.Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.
Ahiddenfireburnsperpetuallyupon the hearth of the world.... In autumn this great conflagration becomes especially manifest. Then the flame that is slowly and mysteriously consuming every green thing bursts into vivid radiance. Every blade of grass and every leaf in the woodlands is cast into the great oven of Nature; and the bright colours of their fading are literally the flames of their consuming. The golden harvest-fields are glowing in the heart of the furnace.... By this autumn fire God every year purges the floor of nature. All effete substances that have served their purposeintheoldformareburntup. Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire.

This is a new scam, but then it’s what we expect from thieves -yet another way to steal from us. This one involves our innocentseeming bank debit card, a scammer and a pair of scissors. Here’s how it works:
You’ll get a call from someone claiming to be from your bank who says there is fraudulent activity happening on your account, and they need your help. You’ll be told that you need to act fast before you lose all your money.
The scammers will tell you to cut up your debit card, but not to cut up the little microchip on the card. Put all the pieces, they’ll say, in an envelope and leave it at your door, because a bank “official” is going to rush over to take possession of the evidence. Oh, and there will be one last little detail they’ll need -- your bank PIN. By that time, if you’re sufficiently rattled, you’ll willingly tell them the number.
A scammer will quickly show up at your door to grab the envelope. Armed with that little card chip and your PIN, they can quickly empty your account.
The key is for you to not get rattled, to not let scammers direct your actions.
If you’re suspicious about any call, hang up! It’s OK (even preferable in this case) to be rude! Call the bank or company on their official number and ask if they were trying to contact you about fraudulent activity on your account.
If your debit card (or any card) expires and the bank or company sends you a replacement, cut up the old one. Be sure to cut through the chip, the magnetic strip on the back and the numbers as well as your name. Divide them up in multiple trash bags to keep the pieces apart
Remember: Stay calm to defeat the scammers.

“In 2024, we had 96 seniors sixty years old and older who received food boxes and gift cards. We believe that number will be even higher this year.”
HEATHER KEENAN
For more than half a century, the Macedon Food Pantry has played a quiet but essential role in supporting families facing hardship in the Macedon and Walworth communities. Founded in 1973, the pantry was created to assist those experiencing challenges such as loss of income, illness, fear of eviction, andfoodinsecurity.Today,thepantry remains a dependable resource, continuing its mission through the dedication of volunteers, the support of St. Patrick’s Church and the broader St. Katharine Drexel Parish, and a longstanding partnership with
Volunteer coordinator Elizabeth Hoteling notes that the pantry depends heavily on community involvement. “Many of the food pantry’s volunteers are members of the parish, others are local residents who help stock the pantry and hand out food when the pantry is open Fridays and the first and third Saturdays of the month,” she says.
She adds that about 25 people volunteer each month, and that “some of them have been volunteering at the food pantry for 30 years. ey are dedicated to helping food insecure residents in Macedon and Walworth.”
at dedication also fuels one of the pantry’s most enduring traditions: the Macedon Community Christmas Program. Now celebrating its 42nd year, the program began a er the Social Ministry Committee recognized the continuing needs of pantry clients. Over time it has grown to include a anksgiving initiative as well, added 18 years ago.
In 2024 alone, the Christmas program assisted 153 families in Macedon and Walworth. Each family received food for a holiday dinner and 180 children within them received gi s to unwrap, 18 older teens received gi cards, and 96 seniors received gi cards.

e program is guided by the Social Ministry Committee of St. Katharine Drexel Parish, including Chairperson Lucille Hamlin, Secretary Heather Keenan, Volunteer Coordinator Elizabeth Hoteling, Provisions Coordinator Denny Marker, and members Linda Brongo, Louise McGuire, and Jean Beha.
For many of these volunteers, the work is both personal anddeeplymeaningful.CommitteememberJeanBeha, who has helped with the Christmas Program for more than 15 years, says, “Our faith calls us to help, love and serve one another. It is such a blessing to be able to share our time and resources with people that need a little help. e gratitude expressed by our recipients makes it all worthwhile. As St. Francis said, ‘In giving, we receive.’”
Longtime volunteer Linda Brongo echoes that sentiment. A er more than 25 years supporting the pantry, she remains motivated by a simple desire to serve her community. “It [means] a lot to be able to make a contribution, and help those in need, right here in our town,” she says. Brongo adds that volunteering
We welcome stories and story ideas from readers yearround. We always seek stories and story ideas about local artists, authors, craftspeople, and experts who share ideas about their trade, as well as the people and stories behind the scenes of local nonprofit organizations. Please send them to hometown@featuredmedia.com. Most timely, we seek stories or story ideas about holiday light displays (with no admission fee) by local citizens we haven’t yet covered in this column, as well as ideas about people and organizations spreading holiday cheer around the community. Thank you!
was a value instilled early in life, from parents who encouragedherto“alwayshelpwhomeverandwherever you can; it’s important to be involved and contribute to your community.”
Secretary Heather Keenan, who has volunteered for 23 years,recallsdiscoveringtheprogramthroughachurch bulletin notice. She now coordinates the Christmas Program and continues to see growing need, especially among older adults. “In 2024, we had 96 seniors sixty years old and older who received food boxes and gi cards. We believe that number will be even higher this year,” she says.
Chairperson Lucille Hamlin, a volunteer for more than 40 years, reflects on what keeps her engaged: “I stayed because of the members of our community that need assistance with food insecurity. It is not only a pleasure to work with them, but to work with the many other community members and organizations that are dedicated to helping our neighbors in their time of need.”
e pantry supplements its Foodlink supplies with donated funds used to purchase items such as milk, cheese, butter, and toiletries, necessities not covered by SNAP. Contributions come from private donors, churches, scout troops, schools, and local businesses, especiallyduringtheChristmasseason.Volunteersalso take pride in the sense of fellowship that develops as theyworktogether.Keenannotesthatfamiliesreceiving assistanceo enextendthatsamespiritofcaretoothers, making sure neighbors without transportation are not le behind.
With planning underway for this year’s Macedon Community Christmas Program, community support is essential to ensuring every local family can enjoy the holiday season. Anyone wanting to help can organize a food drive, adopt a family, purchase gi cards, donate children’s gi s or toiletries, or contribute funds to supplement food purchases.
Families in Macedon or Walworth who need assistance, or individuals, groups, and businesses interested in volunteering, may contact the program at macedoncommunitychristmas@yahoo.com, call St. Katharine Drexel’s office at (315) 538-8242, or send a message via Facebook at Macedon Food Pantry.
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife believed that she had lactose intolerance. After some tests, it was found that she was sensitive to casein rather than lactose. Are there other things in cow’s milk besides lactose and casein that people are sensitive to? -- K.A.
ANSWER: There are three main components of cow’s milk that can lead people to having a bad reaction.
Lactose is a type of compound sugar called a “disaccharide,” which includes two separate single sugars (“monosaccharides”) -- glucose and galactose -- that are connected by a chemical bond. This chemical bond is broken by a specific enzyme called lactase. Deficiency is rare in children but common in adults, especially in people with ancestry from Asia and Africa, as well as Native Americans.
Without the ability to break lactose into its component monosaccharides, a person is likely to get abdominal cramps, gas and diarrhea if they consume lactose. This is because lactose passes into the colon, where colonic bacteria will digest the lactose and produce gas (as well as discomfort). There is a wide variety in the amount that people need to consume to have symptoms, with some people being exquisitely sensitive and others needing a fair amount of it to develop symptoms.
Milk allergies are different. Eighty percent of adults with cow’s milk allergies are women. Cow’s milk allergies are most commonly due to the protein casein (the “curds” of the nursery rhyme) but may also be due to whey protein. People who are allergic to whey protein often have less symptoms if the protein is heated or cooked (for example, milk in baked goods) or if it is changed by digestive enzymes, as in yogurt.
Cow’s milk allergies can have various symptoms. They can be serious and cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. But they may also cause symptoms that people might not recognize as a food allergy, such as skin changes, symptoms of the mouth and esophagus, and food- and exercise-associated anaphylaxis. Some people develop eosinophilic esophagitis, which can resemble gastroesophageal reflux disease; this causes heartburn that doesn’t respond to the usual treatments.
This is only a brief overview of a complicated topic that generally requires an expert in allergy and immunology to help diagnose and manage the condition.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a “trigger thumb.” My thumb no longer bends at the middle joint and hurts. Exercise doesn’t seem to work. I tried physical therapy, too, without results. -- A.M.
ANSWER: Stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, aka trigger finger, is a common issue that I see very frequently in my clinical practice. Symptoms usually start with some “catching” or locking of the fingers while flexing and extending one or more of them. This may progress to discomfort or pain, and it can progress to the point where a finger or thumb is locked in place and needs to be bent by the other hand.
Initial treatment includes rest and anti-inflammatories. Some experts use a splint to reduce the trauma from repetitive movement in the pulley system of the hand. If conservative treatment isn’t effective, most hand experts will try an injection of a steroid into the area of the pulley and tendon. Surgery is an option if two or three injections haven’t solved the problem. Q. Q. A. A.
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. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

Thank you for the civility throughout the Penny Saver. Thank you for always sharing such great information with the community. Thank you for the civility peppered throughout the paper. It’s rereshing.
I wanted to thank the neighbors and other friendly Bloomfield residents who came to my aid in so many different fashions: coats, blankets, scarves, etc., when I had my accident by the school on Halloween day. What wonderful people you all are! I’ll be back on my feet in no time and look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Barb Thorpe
The Phelps American Legion units, Sons, Post, Riders, and Auxiliary participated in the Phelps Community Center (PCC) Halloween event. Over 450+ children received a treat. Thank You PCC for sponsoring this worthwhile community event.
I want to thank all the road workers on Countyline Road for making our road safe again with the one lane gone.



I think it’s very disrespectful to fly your American flag upside down. If you are so unhappy with the United States, then maybe you should leave the country and go somewhere you would be happy. I understand this country isn’t in the greatest state, but you should be proud to fly the American flag, correctly.
Why won’t people shake your hand anymore? Since Covid, no one will shake hands when wishing peace in church. It’s sad and frustrating. It’s like when we were kids and you thought the other person had cooties. Please don’t be afraid to shake hands, let’s get back together again.
As I pick up and remove my dog’s poop from the local trails, I wonder why it is acceptable to leave MOUNDS of horse manure on these trails?













loves autumn, pumpkins, Halloweenwell, Murray loves everything! He is the 20lb half Maine Coon that puts a smile on our face every day whether snuggling or chasing leaves.


Who pays for fostering costs? The question of financing foster care depends on the organization one works with. Most shelters or rescue organizations will cover at least some of the costs of supplies and medical care. However, this is not always the case. It is important for potential foster parents to understand the commitment fostering requires before signing up.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please remind your readers, as the holiday season begins, to keep a close eye on their pets. Many of our favorite foods at Thanksgiving and Christmas contain ingredients that are poisonous to dogs and cats. Holiday gatherings with lots of family and friends can be really stressful for them, too. -- Larry in Secaucus, New Jersey





DEAR LARRY: You’re absolutely right, and thank you for sending this reminder along. Dogs and cats alike will be attracted to all of the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen this week. Turkey, gravy and lots of side dishes will smell irresistible.
But owners should know that it’s not just chocolate that is dangerous for pets to ingest.Onions,garlic,chives,avocados, grapes (and raisins) can all be deadly. Sugar substitutes, especially xylitol, are also very dangerous. Coffee and caffeinated drinks, like chocolate, contain a chemical that causes illness, seizures and even death. A complete list can be found here: www.aspca.org/pet-care/aspca-poisoncontrol/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets.
Here are some ways to keep your pet safe during holiday preparation and gatherings.
• Create a safe space for your pets: a quiet room away from all the bustle and noise. Fill it with their favorite toys, food and water, and a cozy place to curl up and relax. If you crate your dog, place their crate in this “safe room” a few days before the gathering.
• Wall off the kitchen: Put up baby gates in front of each entrance while you’re preparing food.
• Keep a close eye on pets: Have a family member monitor your pets while preparations are underway.
• Give them attention and cuddles. Before and after the big gathering, spend time with your pets. They’ll settle back into their home routine afterward much more easily.

Establish expectations. Parents and teens should have frank conversations about responsibilities regarding buying cars. Talk about who will be paying for the vehicle as well as insurance, maintenance and all of the other expenses that go into vehicle ownership.
