According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

PREVENT CO POISONING
(NAPSI)—Each year, more than 400 people die from unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and more than 20,000 visit the emergency room. CO poisoning can be prevented with a few precautions:
What To Do
• Never use portable electric generators, charcoal grills or other similar devices inside your home, garage or in any confined area that can let carbon monoxide collect.
• Have your chimney, fireplace and woodstoves inspected before every heating season.
• Turn off space heaters before leavingaroomorgoingtosleep.
• Never run your car engine for more than a few moments in a garage, even if the door to the outside is open. Fumes can buildupquicklyandcanspread to the living area of your home.
• Look for clues that home appliances may be malfunctioning. Common indicators include decreased hot water supply, soot on appliances, moisture inside windows, and furnaces not heating properly.
• Install at least one carbon monoxide detector, connected to a monitoring center that operates 24/7, on every level of your home. Real protection comesfromADT—keepingyour family safe from poisonous CO gas that can cause dizziness, unconsciousness and possibly death if undetected.

Understand How Systemic Lupus Affects a Person’s Body
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: What is lupus, and what does it do to your body? I just had a friend who was diagnosed with it after many months of tests. -- T.S.B.
ANSWER: The term “lupus” generally means systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), which is a systemic disorder as its name suggests. So, by definition, it affects multiple systems of the body.
One of the most commonly affected systems is the skin, and one particular localized disease of the skin -- discoid lupus -- is a condition that helps make the diagnosis of SLE. I sometimes hear people with discoid lupus say that they have “lupus,” but it is not the systemic disease unless other criteria are met. Other skin conditions seen with SLE include the classic “butterfly” rash on the face, marked sun sensitivity, mouth ulcers, and hair loss.
People with SLE commonly have systemic or “constitutional” symptoms such as fatigue, fever and generalized aching. Weight loss is common with early SLE, but some people gain weight due to salt and water retention from the kidney manifestations of SLE or from treatment.
Joint problems (both pain and swelling) are present in over 90% of people with SLE. It always affects more than one joint. Kidney problems with protein in the urine are common and a diagnostic criterion. Neurological disorders are infrequent but may include seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and acute confusion or psychosis.
The lining of the heart and lungs are often affected, which can be heard by an examiner. An electrocardiogram shows typical changes. All of the blood cells -- red, white and “blue” (platelets) -- can be decreased.
Finally, there are blood proteins that are elevated in people with SLE.The ANA level is almost always high, but this is not a specific finding. I have seen more patients misdiagnosed with lupus because of a high ANA level and no other criteria for SLE than I have ever seen correctly diagnosed.
The anti-Smith antibody is much more specific but not commonly seen, while the anti-double-stranded DNA test is more common and specific than an ANA test. Blood tests alone do not diagnose SLE.
There are different scoring systems to make the diagnosis of definite and probable SLE using these criteria, but in clinical practice, the diagnosis is made using the judgment of an experienced clinician. In my practice, I refer all of my patients with suspected SLE to a rheumatologist.
The diagnosis of SLE isn’t completely straightforward and requires expertise, while the management of SLE requires a clinician who is both experienced and currently up-to-date in the medical treatment.This, again, usually means a rheumatologist.
Seventy years ago, prior to the development of steroids, the diagnosis of SLE used to be extremely dangerous, with half of people who were newly diagnosed dying within five years. Since steroids have many side effects and aren’t 100% effective, many new drugs have been developed, and most people who are diagnosed with SLE now can be well-managed.
However, it is still a serious, life-changing diagnosis that increases the risk of heart disease and cancer in addition to all the organ issues mentioned above. A general doctor working with the rheumatologist can recommend treatments to reduce your heart risk, as well as appropriate cancer screening tests.
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

Save money at the Habitat ReStore
It’s that time of year again. Summer is fading and it’s time to start thinking about what cold weather might bring. As well as revisiting the parts of the to-do list that didn’t get completed during the summer.
In my house that incomplete portion of my list includes painting the stairs before management notices the peeling and issues a fine and having a new window installed in the living room.
The reasons for not having done those things yet are the price of a can of paint ($42 for a gallon when I need less than a quart) and over $500 for the window, installation not included.
Do you see a pattern here?
And yes, it’s the price of nearly everything nowadays that keeps so many of us from taking care of things like we should.
However, I’ve just learned of a way to get at least a few things on my list: The Habitat for Humanity ReStore. They have 900 locations across the country, and one of those just happens to be near me.
Started in 1976, Habitat for Humanity is the group that will build homes around the world that are then sold for affordable amounts to low and moderate income families, improve and repair houses for seniors so they can stay in their homes, provide disaster response, and much more.
TheirHabitatReStoresareloadedwithgoodqualityusedmerchandise that they take in with donations. It not only keeps household items out of the landfills, but it allows people to buy those items at very reduced prices. They carry used furniture, building materials, appliances, housewares and so much more, some of it donated by corporations.
To find locations near you, go online to www.habitat.org, click “Shop” and then click “Habitat ReStores.” Put in your ZIP code.

Some brides view a hand-medown gown with a degree of skepticism. After all, people may poke fun at dresses passed on by well-meaning friends and family that feature styling that is out-ofdate (think 1980s shoulder pads). However, in most cases, dresses can be altered and turned into something that fits the new bride’s style and physique.
Wearing a hand-me-down gown is something many brides consider, especially if the dress has sentimental meaning or is a family heirloom.
Leaving An Estate To Charity
One doesn’t have to be a famous movie producer or sports star to donate assets to charity in wills. Individuals sometimes make the choice to leave a portion of their estate to a favorite charity to create a legacy that helps the unfortunate. Such a decision may surprise family members, so it may be wise to discuss plans when drafting wills and ensuring that the correct method of bequeathing estates to charities is followed.
When a will is written, it is typically in a person’s best interest to consult with an estate-planning attorney prior to making any decisions. When working in conjunction with a financial planner, an attorney can help you grow your estate and ensure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.

Handy travel tips from a well-traveled pet owner
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: As a seasoned traveler with hunting dogs, as well as puppies and family pets, going cross-state and cross-country, I find that you left out a few crucial items in your travel list important for dog safety/ health when traveling.
First, an IIHS/NHTSA approved crate(s) for the dog(s) or, at minimum, safety belt harness(es) that will restrain the dog(s) in the event of a crash. I have personally seen where dogs have gotten loose from an accident scene, and run off in fear and gotten lost because they were not restrained! Small dogs sitting on laps are not “restrained.”
Second, a basic animal first aid kit in case of emergency due to a cut, bite, ingestion of something, etc., before one can get to emergency vet care on a trip.
Third, water. It’s always best to bring at least a couple quarts of water from home to have handy for rest areas or pull-offs with no services like running water.
Thank you for considering my input on this topic. -- Betsy M., via email
DEAR BETSY: Absolutely essential items! Thank you for adding to the list. A separate first aid kit for pets, included in their bag of supplies so that it’s easy to find, is important. And using an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved crate has been shown to reduce or prevent pet injuries in the event of a crash. For dogs in the back seat, rather than a crate, a pet safety belt and harness is a much safer option than a collar and leash, or worse, just letting your pet sit unbelted. Make these investments for your pet before a trip -- and for everyday travel.

Small ings Make All e Difference
Recently, our family was celebrating our grandson’s birthday at the Yates Town Park. As we were ready to serve the cake we realized the forks were missing. I went to the pavilion next to us and asked if they had extra forks we could have. Several of the people in their group were very happy to share some forks with us. I thanked them for their kindness and generosity but wanted to give them another “Thank you!” for helping us out. Sometimes it’s the small things that make all the difference!
What are the zoning laws in a small town when it comes to goats and how they are treated? Plus, [local] structures that are not used for goats? I drive this road to the [local food store] and hope not to hit a goat. Will have to use different roads. Just be kind to goats and humans.

* On Aug. 27, 1883, the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history occurs on Krakatau, an uninhabited volcanic island west of Sumatra in Indonesia. The explosions threw 5 cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air, created 120-foot tsunamis and killed 36,000 people.
* On Aug. 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing women the right to vote, is formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution. The amendment was the culmination of more than 70 years of struggle by woman suffragists.
* On Aug. 25, 1944, after more than four years of Nazi occupation, Paris is liberated by the French and the U.S. infantry. Gen. Dietrich von Choltitz, commander of the German garrison, defied an order by Adolf Hitler to burn Paris to the ground and instead signed a formal surrender.

Went outside tonight to sit
To see the beauty and enjoy it
Heard the whispers of the trees
As they caught the gentle breeze
Grass is so velvet green and cool to touch
I love God’s creations so very much
Took a little walk...the flowers to see
Such wonderful colors...was pleasant to breathe
Heard the song of a bird
So ly letting its goodnight to be heard
Li ed my eyes to the blue dark sky
Saw beautiful diamonds blinking their eyes
Remembered the days of childhood
Lie on the green grass we would
Looked at all stars above
Made us appreciate the god of love

KEEPING IT LOCAL, TOGETHER.
Dear Readers,
Lately, it feels like the world is moving faster than ever — with constant talk about technology, artificial intelligence, and big changes coming our way. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all.
We want to give you a break from all the noise when you read the Penny Saver. We want to continue to curate a product that you feel good about reading, where you can learn about what’s happening with your neighbors and feel proud about living in our beautiful region. e Penny Saver has been many things to many people but the one constant for the publication has been a focus on “local”. To that end, we want to expand all that we share with you to make this the best and most useful publication. So what does this mean?
e bottom line is we want to create and share more local content. at might include stories about high school athletes, highlights of local trails and other natural gems to visit, homesteading tips, reviews of new books coming out from local authors, shared local poetry, new playground reviews, and even local generational recipe sharing! ese are just a taste of what we want to build. However, our focus will not be on hard news. Politics and police blotters have never been our specialty, and we want to leave that type of reporting to the folks in the news that do that best.
ere is a reality to these ambitions. Costs continue to rise, especially for postage and revenue is unpredictable due to an ever-changing advertising landscape. We’ve worked hard since the pandemic to lower our costs and provide the same great service to you, but adding content to better serve readers requires more resources.
Here’s what we’re asking. If every home that receives the Penny Saver gave $5 we would be able to fund all of this local content and more. Our goal is to keep the Penny Saver a free publication and available to as many readers in the community as possible. What we are seeking is an investment from you in the product you love to make it even better.
It’s said in our industry that the health of a local publication is a direct reflection of the community it serves. Our commitment to local goes beyond our content. Our paper is printed right in Avon, NY by employees, managers, and owners that live here in Western New York. We hope to remain strong for many years to come and even foster the next generation of readers who share the love of “local”.
We’ve included a form below and we so appreciate your attention and support of the Penny Saver’s future.

* The earliest written record that mentions the practice of medicine is Hammurabi’s Code from the 18th century BC in Mesopotamia, which includes information for physicians about payments for successful treatments and punishments for medical failures. For example, payment was better for curing the wealthy, but failing to do so could result in the loss of a hand.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS
A farmers’ market can be an exciting and flavorful social gathering place for families and groups of friends, as well as a great place to meet other members of the community. Sometimes farmers also mingle with local artisans, so the market can be a one-stop-shopping locale for locally produced food and art.

The Senior Stretch
Stretching regularly can help alleviate pain, protect joints, prevent injury and maintain mobility as we age. Incorpora ng stretching sessions into your daily or weekly rou ne is a simple and effec ve way to enhance your health and well-being; a er all, you can do it anywhere, any me, without the need for any equipment. Here are a few ps to help seniors – or anyone – stretch safely:
• Warm up your muscles before stretching by walking or moving around for at least five minutes.
• Stretch gently and slowly, taking in a deep breath and exhaling as you stretch.
• Hold stretches for about 30 seconds, allowing muscles me to relax.
• Avoid bouncing while stretching, and never stretch to the point of pain.
Science-Backed Benefits of Strength Training 5
Experts generally recommend 20 to 30 minutes of strength training two or three mes per week.
Here’s why:
Preserve and build muscle.
Muscle mass diminishes with age, increasing your body fat percentage. Strength training can help turn the tables and keep body fat in check.
Strengthen bones.
Strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
Manage weight.
Increasing your metabolism and muscle with weights helps you burn calories more efficiently.
Maintain flexibility and balance.
Weight-bearing exercise can protect your joints from injury and reduce symptoms of arthri s, while also lowering your risk of falls by improving balance.
Enhance mood and quality of life.
Strength training can help reduce symptoms of many chronic condi ons like depression, back pain, heart disease and diabetes. Research also suggests that exercise may help support cogni ve func on in older adults.

HOW
PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE
Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.
home services FEATUREDBUSINESSES
STAY COOL THIS SUMMER WHILE LIMITING ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Embrace strategic landscaping. The landscaping outside of a home can contribute to cooler climates inside the home. Deciduous trees shed their leaves annually, and when planted on the western and southern sides of a home, these trees can block the sun from entering the home during the hottest times of day, reducing the need to lower the thermostat on air conditioners. Of course, when these trees shed their leaves in late fall, sunlight can then make its way into the home, potentially reducing heating costs.

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION
Determine your motivation for renovating: Renovation projects often involve balancing needs and wants, and determining if a project is a necessity or a luxury can set the timeline and course of the project. Is the roof leaking? If so, immediate action is necessary. Could the kitchen be a bit more functional? If the kitchen is still manageable, a homeowner may be able to wait a little bit to get better prices on appliances or contracting services.
Separating needs from wants helps homeowners map out a viable timeline that maximizes productivity and affordability.
PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE
Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy and which toavoid.Nutritionisnotalwaysforemostonthemindsofcollegefreshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB
Don’t shirk responsibilities. It can be tempting to slack off when another job awaits. The popular job-hunting site Monster.com says it can be human nature to do less when long-term accountability is removed. However, you never know when you might need a referral or even a new job. Leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of your employer at the end of your work history can put a black mark on your employee record.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS
Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in,it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures.While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more.
A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.
