WINTER RECIPES ARE KNOCKING: HELLO ONIONS
Cooking without onions is like trying make a BLT without the tomato -- it’s possible to fill the void with something else, but you’ll probably feel like you’re missing something. Plus, now that it’s time to put on layers and nestle up to a fire, winter recipes are a’brewing, and they’re full of tasty onions. Yellow onions, in particular, that are harvested during cold weather months are perfect for roasts, soups, slow-cooked dishes and other winter favorites. Specifically, yellow onions are ideal for these applications to help build flavor profiles because of their robust, savory taste. Whether headlining a dish, such as french onion soup, or playing a more subtle, supporting role, like meatloaf with onions, this vegetable lends itself to a variety of uses, making onions about as flexible as a yoga master. Regardless of how you use the staple vegetable, onions offer a great deal of nutritional value, and they are associated with lower risks of heart disease and cancer.

CHRISTMAS TREES BRIGHTEN THE SEASON
Decked out in tinsel, lights, ornaments, and garland, Christmas trees are enduring symbols of the holiday season that boast a rich history.
Evergreen trees have been used to celebrate winter festivals for thousands of years, and eventually became associated with Christianity. Plants and trees that remained green all year held special meaning to ancient peoples, and were purported to keep away illness and evil spirits.
Germans were credited with tying evergreen trees to Christmas celebrations. In the sixteenth century, devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer, is believed to have first added lighted candles to these trees after he was inspired by twinkling stars in the night sky.
While early Americans found Christmas trees an oddity, the tradition, brought over by German settlers, eventually caught on. Today, between 25 and 30 million natural Christmas trees are sold in the United States each year, states the National Christmas Tree Association. Trees are grown in all 50 states and Canada.

Planning for a Christmas puppy
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I know you’re probably going to scoff at this, but we want to give our kids a puppy for Christmas. The whole cute scene by the Christmas tree, and all. This isn’t a last-minute decision, as we have been talking about it for several months. We feel that our children, who are 10 and 8 years old, are old enough to play a role in the puppy’s care and training. Of course, we will take the lead in all matters. My husband researched the best family-friendly breeds, and we’ve contacted three different breeders to tell them our plan. What do you think? -- Zoey in Knoxville,Tennessee
DEAR ZOEY: You’ll get no scoffing from me.If there’s a “right” way to give kids a Christmas puppy, this is it. Rather than a spur-of-the-moment decision, you’re both putting a lot of thought and planning into this. You have a realistic view of the kids’ contribution to the puppy’s care and training. You are talking with multiple breeders and communicating your plans to them. This is the responsible way to bring a new pet home.
Be ready for the wrinkles, however. You’re adopting a living thing, and they grow by their own schedule. Good breeders will emphasize that they don’t guarantee puppies will be ready for homes by a specific date, so have a contingency plan if the puppy isn’t mature enough to come home on Christmas Eve. Your kids will be just as thrilled, and you can stage the “reveal” later so you can capture those family photos.
Building a little flexibility into your puppy plan will give you the opportunity to pick the exact breed of dog you’d like, and to meet the puppy ahead of time to determine its temperament.

Protect Your Diesel In Cold Weather
Cold weather can cause starting problems in diesel vehicles because the fuel tends to gel. One way to combat gelling is to use an anti-gelling additive. Using an additive can improve engine start up in cold weather, improve cold flow by preventing gelling and will clean deposits from fuel injectors, combustion chambers, intake valves and piston crowns. It’s easy to forget that basic maintenance can prevent expensive repairs. Change your fuel filter. Using a dirty fuel filter can cause wax crystals to collect, cutting off the fuel. Change your motor oil and your oil filter. Depending on the climate where you live, consider changing the viscosity of your oil to help flow during the cold winter months. Engine damage can occur if the motor oil is too thick due to the cold and the flow is restricted to the engine. You should check your owner’s manual for the recommended viscosity for winter temperatures.
Wreaths of Remembrance in Walworth with Wreaths Across America
“I want to make sure people feel comfortable bringing their kids. I want kids to be there and understand what we’re doing and why.”
GUY BRINGLEY
Each December since 2021, Guy Bringley has coordinated the laying of wreaths of remembrance on the graves of 145 veterans across five cemeteries in Walworth and Macedon. e wreath-laying is part of Wreaths Across America, a nationwide movement of communities who gather to remember those who served in the United States Armed Forces. is year’s nationwide WreathsAcrossAmericaDayisSaturday,
Bringley, a Navy veteran who served in the Vietnam War, first discovered Wreaths Across America at an event in Lakeview. “I enjoyed the event a lot, so I looked around for more of them,” Bringley says. “On the way home from one, I passed one of the Walworth cemeteries and thought, ‘I should do one here.’” He attempted to get a Wreaths Across America effort started in 2020, but because of COVID, it wasn’t until 2021 that Bringley’s vision for the Walworth project came to be.
For Bringley, Wreaths Across America is about making sure veterans are remembered and recognized year-round, not just on a single day, saying, “Wreaths are a very visual symbol of remembrance.” Bringley spends much of his time trying to support veterans however he can. “I tend to be very involved in veterans affairs,” he says. “I’ll go to the airport to welcome veterans back from Honor Flights, and Walworth o en invites me to veterans’ events.”
As Walworth’s WAA coordinator, Bringley spends time throughout the year to make sure he has the local support he’ll need to acquire and correctly place wreaths. He encourages community members to sponsor each wreath, and this year all 145 were fully sponsored weeks before Wreaths Across America Day. Bringley also works with town officials to make surehehasanaccuratelistofveterans’gravestonesandrecruits enoughvolunteerstoplaceeachwreathwithinjustafewhours, even across several different locations.
Before laying wreaths on individual graves, all volunteers gather at the Walworth Town Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony to commemorate veterans. Bringley,orhisson,Matthew,saysafewwordsinhonor of veterans, and is joined by town officials and a few community members in doing so. e Walworth Fire Department Color Guard takes part in the ceremony as well, and they have since 2021. Bringley says, “ e Color Guard is great. ey’re the cherry on top of the ceremony.”
Bringley says commemorative service wreaths, one for each branch of the Armed Forces, go on display at the front, and he encourages children to place these special wreaths. “I want to make sure people feel comfortable bringing their kids. I want kids to be there and understand what we’re doing and why. e handson element is just as important as what they read about veterans in books.”
Following the central wreath-laying ceremony, the group of 35-50 volunteers spreads out to cemeteries
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!
across the town. Bringley has a few dedicated helpers to direct volunteers at the five cemeteries where he oversees wreaths: Walworth Cemetery on Sherburne Road, Freewill Cemetery and Gould Cemetery on Atlantic Avenue, Baker Cemetery on WalworthPenfield Road, and West Walworth Cemetery on West Walworth Road. ough the group isn’t huge, Bringley says it’s plenty of hands to help lay the 145 wreaths across graves, and many volunteers return for wreath clean-up in March.
Wreaths Across America has been a nationwide effort since2005,buttheideaoriginatedin1992whenaMaine wreath company had a surplus of holiday wreaths. e Worcester Wreath Company arranged to lay its extra wreaths on veterans’ graves at the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. According to the WreathsAcrossAmericawebsite,theWorcesterWreath Company carried on the tradition quietly for many years, until a photo of the wreaths laid on gravestones went viral in 2005. Within a couple of years, people in every state hosted wreath-laying ceremonies at their local cemeteries. In 2024, volunteers laid wreaths on more than three million graves.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I just discontinued using metoprolol succinate extended release (ER) at a dosage of 6.25 mg. My heart rate is normally in the 70-80s, and my blood pressure is normal. My doctor prescribed it for palpitations, but it seems totally unnecessary. My issue is that I am experiencing tachycardia of over 100 beats every single night as well as dry mouth.
Could this be anxiety? And do you think an antidepressant like Zoloft or Paxil would help? I had a Holter monitor, which showed nothing wrong with my heart. The palpitations were sporadic only when I was anxious.
I stopped metoprolol because it exacerbated my anxiety and caused me depression as well as panic attacks. My doctor prescribed me 1 mg of Ativan to take at bedtime, but I am very scared of getting addicted to it. So, I thought maybe an antidepressant would help instead. My doctor prescribed 25 mg of Zoloft, but I want another opinion. -- S.S.
A. A.
ANSWER: Generalized anxiety disorder is a common problem and may be associated with panic attacks (sometimes depression as well). The most common and highly effective medication treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, with or without panic attacks, is an SSRI-type drug like sertraline (Zoloft). Therapy is another option, and the two together are more effective than they are separately.
Metoprolol is an effective treatment for the fast heart rate that some people get when they have anxiety, and metoprolol by itself is helpful for many people who have anxiety. (The high heart rate can make people feel even more anxious.) However,it sounds like metoprolol did not work for you.There is a small increased risk of depression among people who take beta blockers like metoprolol.
In my opinion, lorazepam (Ativan) is not a good long-term choice for an anxiety disorder, but it can still be helpful in some people while they’re waiting for another treatment to start working (such as therapy or a medicine like Zoloft). It takes six to eight weeks to reach maximum effectiveness.
Addiction is not an issue when both the patient and prescriber agree that it will be only used as a short-term treatment. For Zoloft, 25 mg is a low dose, and some people need higher doses (sometimes much higher) to control their symptoms.
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Why shouldn’t you use antibiotics for a cold? -- T.Y.A.
ANSWER: There are two main reasons. The first is that antibiotics are effective against bacteria; they’re not effective against the viruses,which are the cause of colds.It is true that a person (or their doctor) cannot be 100% sure whether they have a virus, but people are generally pretty good about knowing when they have a cold.
The second is that resistance to antibiotics has become a major issue in medicine. There are now strains of bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics, and I have seen patients die because their bacteria were resistant to all the antibiotics we have. Using antibiotics less often and for shorter durations is a major goal to reduce the rate of antibiotic resistance. (Antibiotic use in animals that are raised for food is a major issue as well.)
Patients can help by not asking for (or demanding) antibiotics for what are almost certainly viral infections.

Co assion For Others
I want to say thank you to the lady at Wegmans in Corning. I was sitting at an empty display table, grieving a friend who passed recently. You stopped and asked if I was OK. That random act of compassion meant everything to me. I pray you are blessed and your legs feel better. Thank you so much. I believe you were divinely sent.
Wonderful & Helpful People
I would like to thank all of the people who assisted me after I had a bad fall in East Rochester at our voting location. Thankfully, I am okay, just some bruising, but the number of people who came to help me was amazing. Along with the librarians I was able to walk out on my own and get myself home. These people really touched me with their concern. I did not get any names but want them to know how much they restored my faith in people!
Many, Many anks
Many thanks to all the motorists on Bronson Hill Road on October 21st who slowed down and stopped to help catch our escaped rescue puppy during busy traffic. Special shout out to Morgan from Springwater, the young lady who eventually captured Mookie. And to the couple in the white pickup truck who also assisted and covered several lawns and a hill going after her. These two “old” ladies were not quick enough and we are forever grateful.
Football Embarassment
I honestly can’t believe how our school administration and coaches handled this situation. The fact that members of the football team got into a fight — a literal embarrassment to the school and the entire program — and nothing serious was done about it is beyond frustrating. If it were any other students, they’d be suspended without question. But because it’s the football team? Give me a break. It’s embarrassing that the administration cares more about protecting the school’s image than holding people accountable. What kind of message does that send? That your reputation matters more than your integrity? I’m tired of pretending that this kind of behavior represents our school pride. If the administration and coaches really wanted to make things right, they’d stop covering for people and start standing up for what’s actually right!
Recycling
Almost every week, I watch as our recyclable material bin is dumped into the large household waste tote, then mechanically dumped into the garbage pickup truck. Laziness of workers? We called, they claimed it doesn’t happen. IT DOES! Next week I’ll video.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Here’s to a better 2026
Here we are, ready to wrap up another year. And there’s a new one just around the corner. What can we learn from this year to help us in the next one?
Many seniors have had a rough time financially, and it doesn’t look as though things are going to get better soon. Grocery costs have been a big part of that. What we’ve learned is that every time we go to the store, the items we usually buy will cost more and more. And the cost of the coat we’ve been eying is much more than last year. And our electric bill just isn’t going to go down.
But we’ve also learned that the people who run the food bank are kind and helpful. And we’ve learned that we can get one more year out of our winter coat. And we’ve learned that wearing a vest at home can make up for the one degree we turn down the thermostat.
While it wasn’t as bad as during the Covid pandemic lockdowns, our sense of isolation this year was made worse by finances because we didn’t dare spend on too many lunches out with friends. For some of us, the sense of loneliness and anxiety took a toll on our health.
But all is not lost. We can look for free activities that bring us in contact with others: Book clubs at the library, art classes at the local museum and board games at the senior center all give us opportunities to socialize. Ask about organizing a karaoke night! Even exercise can be free and can combine fitness with socialization. Look for pickleball at the rec center, and chair yoga at the senior center. Do you have an Advantage plan that covers Silver Sneakers workout classes?
The New Year can be better than 2025. Make your plans!
