HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE
Candy, time spent with friends and colorful costumes make Halloween a day to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Halloween also can be a lucrative time of year, as the National Retail Federation notes that Halloween spending equals roughly $6.9 billion each year. But as popular as Halloween seems,many countries do not celebrate the holiday.
Halloween observances are limited mainly to North America and areas of Great Britain. Thanks to North American influence and trade, some elements of Halloween have spread to other areas, including South America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia. But Halloween celebrations outside of North America may not be recognizable to those accustomed to celebrations stateside.
In Scotland and Ireland, traditional customs of Halloween include dressing up in costume or “guising.” Parties may be held, and some people have bonfires or set off firework displays. Filipinos meanwhile return to their hometowns and purchase flowers and candles in preparation for All Saints Day, which takes place the day after Halloween.
In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have passed away while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light paths for the spirits as they travel the planet on Halloween night. In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31 and culminates on November 2. It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy.
In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid-1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated. However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER
October is Anti-Bullying Month
Parents go to great lengths to protect their children. Keeping a watchful eye is a great way to protect kids when they're around the house, but parents may need to look for more subtle signs to determine if their children are being mistreated when they leave home.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that roughly 20 percent of students between the ages of 12 and 18 experience bullying nationwide. Parents might once have written off bullying as part of growing up, but research has long since indicated that bullying can be very harmful to youngsters. The DHHS notes that research indicates that persistent bullying can lead to or exacerbate feelings of isolation, rejection, exclusion, and despair. Children who are persistently bullied also may experience new or worsening feelings of anxiety and depression.
Parents can play a vital role in preventing bullying. Much of that role involves parents educating themselves about bullying, including what it is and what it's not and what are some warning signs that a child is involved in bullying.
What is bullying?
The DHHS website Stopbullying.gov defines bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Bullying behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. The imbalance of power associated with bullying involves the children who bully using some semblance of power they have over the children they're bullying to harm or control those youngsters. Their power may be physical strength, access to embarrassing information or popularity.
What isn't bullying?
Various types of aggressive behavior have the potential to be harmful, but they do not fall under the umbrella of bullying. For example, Stopbullying.gov notes that children between the ages of three and five are learning how to coexist with one another, including how to share and cooperate. Children in these age groups may be aggressive if they don't get what they want, but their actions in such instances do not constitute bullying. More information about potentially harmful, non-bullying behaviors is available at Stopbullying.gov.
Educate Yourself and Your Children
What are some signs a child is being bullied?
The DHHS notes that not all children who are being bullied exhibit warning signs. In addition, some signs might be more subtle than others. But some potential indicators that a child is being bullied include:
• Unexplainable injuries
• Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry
• Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
• Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. For example, children who are being bullied may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
• Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem
• Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide
What are some signs a child is bullying other children?
Parents also should be on the lookout for signs their children are bullying other youngsters. Such signs include:
• Kids get into physical or verbal altercations
• Children have friends who bully others
• Increasingly aggressive behavior
• Frequent trips to the principal's office or to detention
• Kids have extra money or new belongings but cannot explain how they got the cash or items
• Kids blame others for their problems
• An unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions
• Kids are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity
Parents have a vital role to play in preventing bullying so all youngsters feel safe and sound inside and outside of school. TF20A397

somer-saulters and tumblers bright lemon and brown loop-de-loopers and flyers pumpkin spice floating down zig-zaggers and taggers tan peppered and yellow racers and divers streak painted and mellow leap-froggers and gliders chocolate and cream floaters and dri ers a strawberry dream
sailors and darters bright lemon and red gliders and dancers meringue and brown bread
I watch as they frolic through glittering sun colliding and zooming in splendorous fun
I feel in the moment a joy in my heart each leaf is an emblem a color-filled art!

How to Find Bargains this Holiday Shopping Season
e pinch of inflation has been felt throughout the last year, and that squeeze could feel even tighter as the holiday season draws closer. ough inflation might be beyond consumers’ control, there are still ways to find bargains when holiday shopping this year.
• Start comparison shopping early. In addition to the rising cost of living, modern consumers also must contend with supply shortages and shipping delays. Shopping early is a great way to get around those, and it also affords shoppers more time to find great deals.
• Shop on consumer holidays. Black Friday used to be the only game in town in regard to holiday bargains. Consumers can still find great deals on Black Friday and also benefit from reduced prices on days such as Cyber Monday.
• Attend local holiday bazaars and markets. One of the great things about holiday bazaars and markets is that many of the businesses that set up shop at these events are local. ey also tend to sell an array of items, including small items that can easily fit into shoppers’ holiday budgets.
• Pool your resources. Another way to get around rising costs this holiday season is to pool your shopping resources with another friend or family member. e cost of a new tablet for a parent can be easier to bear if it’s split with a sibling.

My Cat has become a picky eater
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Jonesy” is 11 years old and has suddenly become a very picky eater. He is barely touching his dry kibble, and he will only eat canned pate or fresh chicken, shredded very fine. Is this something to be concerned about? -- Martha Y., Tallahassee, Florida
DEAR MARTHA: Sudden, unexplained changes in a cat’s behavior -- especially around food -- often signal a change in their health. Call the veterinarian and describe your cat’s symptoms; the vet will likely ask you to bring Jonesy in for a look.
One possible cause is a dental infection. After age 4, more than half of cats begin to experience some degree of dental problems, like gingivitis, tooth infections and tooth resorption. Symptoms of dental disease include bad breath, excessive drooling, blood-tinged saliva, pawing at the face, dropping food from the mouth, lack of appetite and several more -- all requiring a visit to the vet.
Your cat’s vet will give him a complete physical exam to determine if something else is causing his lack of appetite, and will take a close look at his teeth. X-rays may be ordered to determine the extent of the problem.
If Jonesy’s issue is an infection, antibiotics will be prescribed. If a tooth is involved, the vet will probably recommend pulling it; this is done under anesthesia, and will provide so much relief to your cat.
Once your cat has recovered,the vet will likely set up a toothbrushing routine -- a finger brush and flavored toothpaste made just for cats work best. They may recommend a dry cat food that helps fight plaque buildup. There are many more preventive treatments available for pets today than in the past, so ask your vet how you can keep Jonesy happy and healthy through his senior years.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Food Recalls
It’s impossible to say exactly what’s going on, but lately there are problems with our food supply, one after the other. Listeria and salmonella are at the top of the list.
Listeria shows up in water, waste and the soil and ends up in our meat, fresh produce and dairy products.
Some say the rising number of cases of listeria are because we’re eager to grab ready-to-eat foods like deli meats. Others point to better detection methods that find listeria during inspections. One big concern, however, is that cold doesn’t kill listeria. Even if it’s stored in the cold (or even frozen), it doesn’t die.
When it comes to salmonella, expert fingers want to point to climate change because warm temperatures help salmonella grow. But there is also the problem of large farming facilities where a single sick animal can infect the rest.
But no matter the reason for the increases and their sources, we seniors need to be especially careful. A bad case of listeria or salmonella can put us in the hospital.
What can we do to avoid problems with food contamination?
With salmonella, wash your fruit and vegetables. Cook foods to the correct temperature, especially eggs, meat and poultry. Invest in a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature in the refrigerator.
Listeria is tougher. Unfortunately, hygiene is part of the problem. The contamination can start at the location where the food is produced -- and spread around the deli counter if slicers aren’t washed correctly. Once we have that lunch meat at home, we need to heat it to a high enough temperature. Which means it’s not safe to just grab a few slices of cold lunch meat to make a sandwich.
Besides being cautious, pay attention to food recalls.You can sign up for email alerts at www.FoodSafety.gov, www.recalls.gov, www. fda.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

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.
Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.
Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.
Plumbing and pipes may be vulnerable to cold weather. Frozen pipes may burst and cause substantial damage to a home, potentially causing flooding and structural damage.
Homeowners should disconnect and drain garden hoses before winter arrives. Water to outdoor hose bibs should be turned off, though the valves on these outdoor faucets should be left open to drain. Also, outdoor faucets can be covered with insulating foam covers.
The Red Cross says pipes that freeze most frequently include pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Close vents to the outside in areas like attics and basements to limit the amount of cold air that gets indoors. Think about insulating unheated areas, as well as using pipe sleeves, heat tape or wraps on exposed pipes. By opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, homeowners can allow warm air from a home to reach pipes under the sink. During extreme freezes, keep cold water dripping from a sink to prevent pipes from freezing.

Choosing Carpeting
General Tree Surgery
PREVENT DIY INJURIES
Thousands of people try their hands at do-it-yourself home improvement projects every year. Whether working indoors or outdoors, wearing safety gear and exercising caution is a necessity when undertaking any home remodeling project.
According to the Home Safety Council, one in five consumers will need medical attention this year as a result of home improvement projects. A 2013 survey by 3M TEKK Protection and the National Safety Council found that more than one-quarter of DIY home improvement projects ended with injuries to homeowners or someone else in the household. Falls from ladders, cuts from power tools and injuries from thrown debris account for many emergency room visits. Accidents involving chemicals and cleaning agents also can occur. Safety should be the utmost priority when renovating, and that means utilizing appropriate safety equipment.
Today, there are many different types of carpeting available. The following guidelines can make carpet shopping a bit easier.
Type of carpeting
There are many different types of carpeting, some of which are best suited to certain situations. For example, plush and saxony carpets are better in low-traffic areas. These carpets may show footprints and also vacuum tracks and dirt, but they’re higher on the comfort spectrum than other types of carpet. Berber, which is more flat and dense, helps mask stains and tracks. It is durable in high-traffic areas. Textured carpets like frieze are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask stains and are also softer on the feet than berber.
Padding
It isn’t always necessary to purchase the most expensive or thickest padding. However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting you’re selecting and one that aligns with how you plan to use the room. You may be able to go with a thinner pad in low-traffic rooms and beneath dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose a thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as well.
Installation
Select a reliable carpet retailer and installer for your business. Competent installers will lay the carpeting in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and maintain its durability for the life of the product.

Team Barry’s Jaclyn Cooper Honors Friend and His Family
AT THE 2025 WALK TO END ALZHEIMER’S
BY CATHY WILDE OF THE ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION, UPSTATE NY CHAPTER
The Walk shows families and caregivers they are not alone. It makes the disease visible, creating empathy and reminding people they are part of a powerful community.
JACLYN COOPER
More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease – a leading cause of death in the United States. Additionally, nearly 12 million family members and friends provide care to people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. In NewYorkState,therearemorethan426,500people living with the disease and 543,000 caregivers. e Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world’s largest event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.
e Alzheimer’s Association hosted the Finger Lakes Walk to End Alzheimer’s on October 18th at FingerLakesCommunityCollegeinCanandaigua.
Funds raised through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s ensure programs and services provided by the Alzheimer’s Association are free to all who need them and fund research and advocacy efforts which result in new treatments for people living in the early stage.
One of this year’s top fundraisers for the Canandaigua Walk is Jaclyn Cooper, who formed Team Barry in honor of a special person she’s gotten to know as a respite volunteer for Lifespan. Jaclyn felt called to work with older adults and was paired with Barry Strauber, a 65-year-old man diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
For a couple of hours each week, she and Barry spend time in the community, whether playing mini-golf or pickleball, running errands, getting ice cream, or even volunteering for other organizations. Last year, for example, they wrapped Christmas presents for a charity.
“Alzheimer’s can be very isolating, both for the person living with it and their caregivers. Sometimes it’s just easier to stay home,” Jaclyn says. “So, the couple of hours a week I spend with Barry allow him to get out and enjoy social activities, as well as providing his wife, Suzanne, with a break from caregiving.”
Jaclyn says she has benefited from the experience, too. “ ey’ve accepted me as part of their family,” she says. “It’s like the universe put us together.”
JACLYN, BARRY, AND SUZANNE
and Team Barry has raised nearly $4,000. is is the first time Jaclyn has participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, and it won’t be her last. “I think it’s a really important event to raise awareness, in addition to raising funds for research and support,” she says. “ e Walk shows families and caregivers they are not alone. It makes the disease visible, creating empathy and reminding people they are part of a powerful community.”
On Walk day, participants honor those affected by Alzheimer’s with the poignant Promise Garden ceremony – a mission-focused experience that signifies solidarity in the fight against the disease. During the ceremony, walkers carry flowers of various colors, each color representing their personal connection to the disease.
“ is is a pivotal moment in the fight against Alzheimer’s. ere are now treatments that change the course of the disease,” says Julie DeMersman, director of development for the Rochester & Finger Lakes Region Chapter. “We hope that everyone in the community can join us to help the Alzheimer’s Association raise awareness and funds for families facing the disease today, take more steps toward treatments and finally end this disease.”

Weight Loss Isn’t the Cause Behind Odd Globus Sensation
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and immediately changed my diet and exercise regimen. I was able to lose 17 pounds in about two months but have started to experience a feeling of something being stuck in my throat. Could the sudden weight loss have brought this on? I was sent to get an ultrasound on my thyroid, and it came back negative. -- V.J.
ANSWER: A sensation of something stuck in the throat is common in clinical practice and can have many causes. It is referred to as a “globus” sensation. An ultrasound is a very reasonable test as a large thyroid mass (goiter) can cause a mechanical effect on the esophagus, which then leads to this sensation. Similarly, abnormalities in the esophagus, oropharynx and larynx may also lead to this sensation. Most experts recommend an evaluation with an endoscopy and a laryngoscopy for people with a persistent globus sensation.
Unintentional weight loss is a red flag in people with a globus sensation because if the cause behind the globus sensation is also leading people to lose weight, this means that it is more likely to be something serious. But this is not the case with you, so I can’t think of how losing weight could have been the cause behind your globus sensation.
If the sensation of something in your throat continues, I recommend further evaluation by an ENT physician.
A. Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: My in-laws are being evaluated for infertility, and my brother-in-law has a varicocele. They say that he needs an operation. Is this necessary in order for them to have children? -- C.F.
ANSWER: A varicocele is a common enlargement of the veins in the male scrotum. There is some evidence that a large varicocele could reduce fertility in men. However, the repair of a varicocele is usually indicated for fertility only when both the varicocele is large and the man has an abnormal semen analysis.
The benefit in fertility is thought to be small; it is estimated that 17 men need to be operated on to produce one pregnancy, so there’s roughly a 6% chance that the operation will help the couple conceive.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have high liver enzymes and bilirubin, most likely due to Gilbert syndrome. I’ve had elevated numbers since at least 2006 when I started to track them. I was recently prescribed a low-dose statin after receiving a slightly elevated coronary calcium score (49).
The statin did great at lowering my cholesterol but seriously elevated my AST and ALT numbers. (My AST and ALT levels were 12 and 20 U/L respectively before treatment, then 41 and 32 U/L while on the statin. Normal is less than 35 U/L.) So, I discontinued its use. Are there any options other than statins to help reduce cholesterol? -- S.M.
ANSWER: Gilbert syndrome is a relatively common liver condition caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism. People with this condition can get recurrent jaundice and high bilirubin levels.
Statin drugs are generally considered to be safe in people with Gilbert syndrome. Many people (with and without Gilbert’s) will have elevations in their liver enzymes (ALT and AST levels) due to statin drugs. Most authorities recommend reducing the dose or stopping the statin treatment if the liver enzymes go over three times the upper limit of normal -- above about 100 U/L -- which yours didn’t get close to. Since the risk to your liver from a statin is small, and the benefit of a statin in a person with even modest coronary calcium is relatively large, there is more benefit than harm for most people in your situation.
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
FINDING THE RIGHT FITNESS FACILITY
Joining a gym can be a great way to get healthy. Monthly gym membership fees may provide the motivation sedentary men and women need to get off the couch and pursue their fitness goals, and the right gym can foster a love of exercise that lasts a lifetime.
Finding the right fitness facility is not necessarily as simple as signing up at the one nearest your home or office. Finding a facility that best suits you and your goals may require consideration of a host of factors.
Personal goals: Fitness facilities are not all one and the same. Before shopping around for a facility, men and women should make a list of their fitness goals and what they’re looking for in a gym. Aspiring bodybuilders may want a facility with an array of free weights and strength training machines, while men and women whose ultimate goal is to lose weight may prefer facilities geared more toward cardiovascular training. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends adults participate in both strength and cardiovascular training, so facilities should provide both options. But some gyms may focus more heavily on strength training, while others may offer an extensive selection of cardiovascular equipment. Choose the facility that best aligns with your workout.
Amenities: Amenities are another important factor to consider when choosing a fitness facility. Facilities that offer a host of amenities like steam rooms, hot tubs and saunas might provide more motivation to visit the gym for adults accustomed to inactive lifestyles. In addition, such amenities might aid in adults’ recoveries.
Workout alternatives: Men and women who have never been very enthusiastic about traditional workouts may want to look for facilities that offer more options than weightlifting and cardiovascular training. Many gyms host classes like yoga, Zumba® and Pilates. Each of these are effective alternatives to more traditional workouts. When shopping around, look for facilities that offer classes for people of various skill levels, as exercises such as yoga can be very difficult for novices.
Swimming is another effective alternative to traditional workouts, and many facilities have their own pools. Adults are more likely to exercise if they enjoy their workouts, so people who love to swim may want to limit their searches to facilities with swimming pools.
Hours of operation: Hours of operation is another important factor that should not be overlooked. Working adults, especially those with families, may have very small windows of free time in which to exercise. Even if the most pristine and inviting facility won’t do men and women much good if it’s not open when they’re available to workout. Before shopping for a facility, men and women should write out a weekly schedule, making note of when they’ll be working out and making sure to find a facility that accommodates that schedule.
Adults looking for a new fitness facility should consider a host of factors to ensure they find one that best suits their needs.

ank You
On September 31st, a small group of classmates were dining at the Redwood in Naples when a kind person paid our entire tab. It was such a kind and generous thing to do, we all greatly appreciated it. There are not many members of our class left and this get together means so much to us. We will always remember your kindness to us; what a great generation you are! Thank you, this memory means so much to us.
Community Yard Sale Benefit
I would like to thank Kristi for organizing a Yard Sale benefit for my daughter Kate’s dental work. I would also like to acknowledge everyone who donated items for the sale, those that baked and donated items and, most especially, the community for stopping and supporting the sale. Kristi raised a significant amount of money for us to apply towards the dental bill and we will forever be grateful. Please know that we will pay it forward somehow.
ank You
To the person who found my check in the Walmart parking lot and returned it to the bank, I cannot thank you enough. You were my angel that day and I appreciate it more than you will ever know. There are still good people in this world.
ruway Failure
When are we going to admit the Thruway billings by mail is a complete failure! I have had it with billings that are months late, late fees automatically added because the state is late, and the $2 processing fees that are an added tax. It was better when we were paying cash at the booths. When the Thruway was built in the 1950s it was completed and “grandfathered” in time to have tolls before the moratorium, and the public was told there would be tolls only until it was paid for. The Thruway takes in hundreds of millions of dollars every year only to be mixed in with other wasteful spending the state does. We never needed the rest stops to be torn down and re-built; someone in Albany got really rich from doing that. This is NY. It’s all corrupt. It never had to be this way.
Bicyclists
I am a cyclist myself, but I am constantly put off by the reckless behavior of some riders, including E-bikers. Bicycle riders must obey all NYS vehicle and traffic laws. This means riding with traffic (not against) and please no riding on sidewalks! This is an accident waiting to happen. Thank you for your caution and courtesy.
