There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. ~ Ruth Stout

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

According to the National Weather Service, the Rochester region’s average snowfall totals between 70-120 inches, depending on location. Last year, Rochester registered a total of 88.6 inches. As snow peeks into our forecast, how do you prepare for winter?

- I prepare everything as soon as flurries fly - I prep nothing until snow is a foot deep - I keep my vehicle fueled and food and supplies well-stocked - I stock up on reading material and cozy jammies - I celebrate winter outdoors, planning more outings with family and friends

Using and Strengthening the Immune System To Prevent CANCER

We are the office for you!

Accepting New Patients.

New Patient Special

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have read about using the immune system’s response as a mechanism to battle cancer (such as brain and pancreatic) and to reduce the devastating impact that cancer and its treatment has on humans. I understand current drug trials show promising results. How do doctors and scientists use the immune system to treat cancer? -- J.W.

ANSWER: The concept of using the immune system to treat cancer is old, but the ability to do so has dramatically improved in the past few years. There are a few specific types of treatments that I’d like to highlight:

Dr. Julie Labrecque

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are treatments that release inhibitions on the immune system. (These “strengthen” the immune system, which has beneficial but also potentially toxic effects.) For melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, these treatments have revolutionized treatment and led to dramatically improved outcomes in people whose melanoma has spread. Response rates are up to 60% in a disease where the prognosis used to be dismal.

2 S. Main Street, Manchester, NY 14504

Call now for an appointment: (315) 462-5633

The unleashed immune system can destroy cancer very effectively, but it also can attack healthy organs, with many people (between 10% to 60% depending on drugs and doses) developing damage to the skin, lungs, liver, thyroid, colon and heart. These toxicities range from mild to life-threatening.

The body’s own immune cells can be genetically engineered to kill cancer cells. Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) can be specifically changed to recognize cancer cells. This can lead to complete remission with some cancers, especially some leukemias and lymphomas. Unfortunately, they can also attack the body, leading to neurological damage that can be very serious.

Developing cancer vaccines is a highly promising strategy for personalizing the immune system to attack a person’s own cancer.

Although the United States has recently made dramatic cuts to its support of this research, researchers in other countries continue to study this. It can be used in combination with other traditional or immune-based treatments.

The immune system can be used to help treat cancer effectively, but there is still the potential for serious side effects. __________ Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

The beginning of the year is an ideal time to get organized and set oneself up for productive months ahead. It’s also a good opportunity to take inventory of seldom-used items and clear out as much clutter as possible.

The amount of stuff the average person owns can affect how easy or difficult it is for that person to get organized. In 2014, professional organizer Regina Lark estimated the average American home contains 300,000 items. And it’s not just adults who love to collect and keep things, as kids contribute to the problem, too. British research, as published in The Telegraph, indicates the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys, playing with just 12 in a typical day.

All of these belongings contribute to disorganization and lost time. A study by Esure Home Insurance found looking for lost items accounts for 10 minutes of wasted time each day.

Getting organized can take perseverance, but it’s possible.

Thank you, Community Action!

Community Action of Orleans & Genesee recently ran news stories to raise awareness of the impact of the government shutdown, especially the loss of SNAP and HEAP benefits which help us ensure families do not go hungry and are able to be sheltered from the cold. We have been awestruck with the amazing outpouring of donations and volunteering from our community and local businesses. It is a great reminder that the work our staff and volunteers do is truly appreciated by the community and while we are always there to help others... others are willing to stand next to us to help when it is needed. The community response has been tremendous, and I feel very blessed to have witnessed this. My deepest gratitude goes out to everyone who has stood by us with support during this challenging time. I am proud to be a member of this incredible agency and community. From everyone at Community Action, “Thank you for the support and generosity.

We wish everyone safe, healthy, and happy holidays!!”

Many Thanks to the Stranger Driving By Thank you, Mike, for picking me up from my fall into the street on Klem Road. You stayed with me and walked me into my house until I was able to contact my son. You even got an ice pack out of my freezer to put on my bleeding head. Not many people would sacrifice their time to do that for a stranger. May you enjoy the holidays and God bless you! I will never forget your kindness.

If I could just apologize If I could just apologize to the very nice older couple that visited “our” bargain basement store on Monday, December 8th from Brighton. They were obviously seniors getting along together well. That’s so nice to see!

A coworker and I found the square new rug which they’d been looking for. They wanted blue colored, not white. Unfortunately, when I suggested buying slippers so the rug would stay clean, I remembered a slip and fall I’d had and ran out to the front door and overreacted. Please, customers, come back to our store, I apologize from the heart, it was “a senior moment!”

The city speed limit is 30. Why post that when so many ignore the speed limit? Some do 40-50, zigzagging, no turn signals, no stopping at stop signs, cutting others off when it’s “right on red when clear,” etc., etc. Will the police please monitor, hopefully every day, the main road? Visibility is a deterrent to at least slow them down.

Drivers & pets To add to your vent, as a retired flag person, I saw this many times. My added advice is, if you ever get in an accident, and your air bags go off, how will your pet fare?

Or, if a small breed, it could be killed. Think about it.

Actions give neighborhood trashy look People, please reconsider parking or storing cars on the front lawn. The practice has grown from one house to multiple houses. One car has no plates; one is wrapped in tarp. The rest get driven daily then back on the lawn. One house has now added a second car, giving their place that car-lot look.

To wedge it in they blast over the curb and sidewalk to get that second car to fit. Over time, muddy ruts have formed and walkers have to go to the road or get mud all over their shoes.

People still care about the appearance of their homes and neighborhood. This parking practice kills the grass, looks very junky, and the weight of a car or two sitting on underground service lines could possibly damage them. Apparently, it is against village code but code enforcement says they don’t have time to deal with this and suggest calling the police.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT A VETERINARY DENTAL CLEANING Examination and cleaning: The vet will conduct a thorough examination of the pet’s mouth, noting any abnormalities. A dental probe is often used to evaluate bleeding gums and detect pockets in the gums where food can accumulate and potentially lead to decay. After the examination, VCA Hospitals says tooth scaling will be performed, using both ultrasonic and hand scalers to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. Teeth will then be polished to remove any microscopic scratches that can snag bacteria and lead to subsequent build-up.

Red Jacket Central Schools PTSA

fights hunger One Snack Pack at a Time

BY SUZIE WELLS

For more than a decade, the Red Jacket SnackPack Program has worked quietly but consistently to meet a critical need among students in the Manchester-Shortsville community: reliable access to nutritious food outside of school hours.

Stephani Hutson, treasurer of the Manchester-Shortsville Area Chamber of Commerce, NYS PTA associate director for the Genesee Valley, and a member of the Red Jacket Community

Center Executive Board of Directors, says the program was created approximately twelve years ago through a collaborative effort between the Red Jacket PTSA and the Manchester-Shortsville Central School District. From its inception, the initiative was built on partnerships, including close collaboration with school nurses Sarah Huber and Julia Brown. Hutson explains that cafeteria professionals were also trained to ensure every item included met healthy nutritional standards and “truly helps fuel our students.”

The SnackPack Program was developed after educators and volunteers recognized a troubling reality: many students were heading home on weekends to empty cupboards. According to Hutson, in a community facing ongoing financial hardship, access to proper nutrition is inseparable from a child’s ability to learn, regulate behavior, and maintain physical and mental health. The goal was simple but urgent—to ensure that no student would have to worry about where their next meal would come from.

“Together, we are filling bellies, lifting spirits, and helping our students grow into strong, healthy learners.

Thank you for being a community that truly cares.”

HUTSON

Each weekend, students identified as needing support receive thoughtfully prepared bags containing two nutritious breakfast options, two filling lunch options, and a variety of healthy snacks and drinks. All items are shelf-stable and easy to prepare independently, a deliberate choice, Hutson notes, to remove barriers and ensuring no child goes hungry.

Today, the program’s continued success relies heavily on community involvement. Hutson emphasizes that staff members, volunteers, and residents play an active role through donations and awareness campaigns. Local businesses also contribute in meaningful ways—selling SnackPack bags, collecting donations, and hosting fundraisers. Each year, Bliss Surfine sells pre-filled bags containing all the necessary items, making it easier for community members to contribute. More recently, Jack’s Kitchen in Shortsville organized a Christmas raffle, with all proceeds benefiting the program.

The scale of the need has grown. This school year, the SnackPack Program supports 70 students each week— more than 10 percent of the district’s student population and the equivalent of more than one full graduating class.

Hutson explains that it costs approximately $200 to feed one student for an entire school year. Students’ needs are identified confidentially by trained staff and administrators who are familiar with the signs of food insecurity.

Behind the scenes, a dedicated group of volunteers ensures the program runs smoothly. Hutson credits volunteers Ashley Rivera, Taylor Whittaker, and Mary Mourer with shopping for food, while April Chapman helps with packing. Student helpers discreetly deliver the bags to school nurses, and nurses routinely work late into Thursday evenings to make sure every child has what they need before heading home for the weekend.

Hutson expresses deep gratitude for the collective effort that sustains the program, acknowledging PTSA volunteers, school nurses, district partners, donors, and community members who believe in supporting children’s well-being. Their shared commitment, she says, has allowed the SnackPack Program to remain a reliable source of support for families year after year.

Community members interested in helping this mission are encouraged to contribute either financially or through food donations. All contributions directly support students in need.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

Finding Help This Year Now that we have our new Social Security benefit amount and see, after the Medicare Part B deduction, just how little it’s going to be, many of us are on the edge of panic -- or at least very worried. We barely made it through last year, month by month. What are we going to do this year when the prices are continuing to rise but our Social Security didn’t?

Last year the average Social Security benefit was $2,015, and this year it’s slated to be $2,071, up about $56 per month.

After deducting the $185 Part B last year, the average benefit was $1,830 per month. This year Part B has gone up to $202, making $1,869 the average benefit. Doing the math, it means that we have $39 more per month to spend.

Level: Moderate

HOCUS-FOCUS BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

And let’s not forget that the Part B deductible has also gone up, now at $283 per year before Medicare kicks in.

We need help.

The National Council on Aging has created BenefitsCheckUp (BenefitsCheckUp.org), which is a one-stop shop for finding help programs. There are 2,000 of them in their database, and it’s free to use. You only need to enter your ZIP code and select the type of benefits you want to look at. Then you’ll answer a few questions and be presented with a list of options that includes contact information and tells you how to apply for the help.

If you need a little help with that database, call them at 800794-6559, or click on their “Find Local Help” link for help in your state.

BenefitsCheckUp identifies a wide range of assistance, from free legal advice, to property tax reduction, to “Extra Help” to pay for Part D Medicare drug coverage and deductibles, to heating assistance and much more.

Don’t be afraid to apply for the help benefits you’re entitled to. © 2026 King Features Synd., Inc.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP RESOLUTIONS STICK THIS YEAR Get support or talk it out. Speaking about what you are going through and getting reassurance from other people can work wonders to strengthen resilience. When the desire to quit sneaks up, you can consult with a friend or consider a support group. For example, taking a group class at the gym may be a more effective motivational tool than working out solo.

Fact

51% wear baseball caps regularly

One of the earliest known confirmed hats was worn by a bronze-aged man nicknamed Otzi, whose body was found frozen in a mountain between Austria and Italy, where he had been since around 3250 BCE. He was discovered wearing a bearskin cap with a chinstrap made of several hides stitched together, resembling a Russian fur hat.

RESOLVE TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT IN THE YEAR AHEAD

National HAT Day

Bra measurements are hard to come by, no doubt thanks in part to the nature of getting measured in such an intimate area of the body.

But considering undergarments set the foundation for all clothing worn on top, this is one of the more important measurements to verify.

Enlist the help of a friend or family member to make measurements go more smoothly.
