By Shawn Palermo
Winter comes creeping while I am asleep; Crystals of snow beginning to leap. ey dance in the moonlight like gi s from above Painting the fields and the woods and the land that I love.
In the morning I rise and the beauty I see Fills me with hope at this land will stay free.
An informal poll of friends and neighbors got me a range of responses, from grimaces to laughs to snarls. My question was about how they were going to spend the approximate extra $56 that Social Security beneficiaries will be receiving as of January when the new COLA kicks in.
That 2.8% increase in the average Social Security benefit ($2,071 for individuals, $3,208 for couples) won’t get us much when compared to what is happening in the grocery stores -- and everywhere else.
We have been complaining about this for years: the Cost of Living Adjustment price index (CPI-W) that’s used to calculate Social Security increases doesn’t apply to us. Instead, we keep saying, they should use the Research Consumer Price Index (R-CPI-E), which is more in line with how seniors over the age of 62 actually spend money.
And then there’s the wee problem of Medicare Part B also going up -- again -- from $185 this year to $202 for 2026. That amount has to be subtracted from the $56 increase,which means an actual $38 increase in Social Security.
There is, however, a movement afoot in Congress to give us a temporary (six months) increase of $200 per month from January to July 2026. Called the Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act, the proposal is being batted around in Congress at this point. The bill (S.3078) text says it would provide payments to “recipients of social security, supplemental security income, railroad retirement benefits,and veterans disability compensation or pension benefits.”
I asked, in my informal poll, what they would do with that extra $200 per month should the proposal pass: stick it in savings for an emergency ...pay off a medical bill ...turn up the thermostat ...buy a good winter coat. The responses ran the gamut of possibilities, which says one thing: We need that money.

By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: What is the difference between a cold and the flu? -- A.T.R.
ANSWER: Both colds and influenza (the “flu”) are respiratory illnesses that are caused by viruses. Influenza is caused specifically by the influenza viruses, which come in two main types (A and B). Influenza A is further broken down into different subtypes based on hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N).
H1N1 and H3N2 are currently the most-common circulating influenza A viruses. Even within these subclasses, there is strong variability among flu viruses, which is one reason why we need a new flu vaccine each year. Many viruses cause colds. Rhinoviruses (“rhino-” is the Greek word for nose) are the most common, but corona-, parainfluenza- and enteroviruses, as well as respiratory syncytial viruses, are all well-known causes of respiratory illnesses, which can be difficult or impossible to tell apart from any other type of cold.
Unfortunately, there are so many of these viruses, some of which change quickly and others that escape our immune system, so it is (so far) impossible to get immunity by an infection or a vaccine to all the cold viruses. Viruses are generally less severe than influenza.
It isn’t always easy to tell flu from a cold, especially in young people. Both can cause a fever, cough, runny nose and sore throat. However, the flu often causes muscle aches, which can be severe. The flu tends to cause higher fevers, more cough and worse headaches, and it often comes along suddenly. (“I got hit by the flu truck.”) Runny nose and nasal congestion tends to be worse with a cold.
Since there is specific antiviral treatments for influenza, clinicians will sometimes make decisions on whether to treat a person based on their symptoms, or they may get a lab test to look for the flu specifically. (Some tests will also check for COVID-19, a special type of coronavirus, at the same time.)
People who are at a high risk for severe flu may be recommended antiviral treatment, whereas there is not a specific antiviral treatment for colds. It’s particularly important for people over 65 and those with any heart, lung or immune system issues to get the influenza vaccine. The optimum time to get it was from October through the end of November.
DEAR DR. ROACH: What do we now call what was once referred to as a “nervous breakdown” in the 20th century? -- A.M.
ANSWER: I asked this question to my psychiatry professor way back in the late 20th century when I was a first-year medical student. My professor replied that the term didn’t have a meaning anymore. There is no formal medical or psychiatric diagnosis of a “nervous breakdown.” The term is used by laypeople to describe when a person has severe impairment of their day-to-day function as a result of a psychiatric diagnosis, especially mood disorders like generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder.
An adjustment disorder may resemble a major depressive disorder, but it occurs within a few months of a traumatic life event. A severe case might also be termed a “nervous breakdown.” It is not usually used to describe a person with acute psychosis (a term meaning a grossly distorted sense of reality), such as a person with schizophrenia or bipolar affective disorder in their acute and uncontrolled state.
All these conditions have effective treatments. Treatment starts by talking to someone, who might be your own regular doctor or a mental health professional. For people who are in acute distress with thoughts of hurting themselves, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is an option in the United States and Canada. Q. Q. A. A.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I find it weird that my two dogs, “Shep” and “Bull,” can eat just about anything (I have to hide all the pet food), while my cat “Trudy” will turn up her nose at most food. And although she’s perfectly healthy, sometimes she gets sick after eating wet or fresh food. Why? -- Sarah in Madison, Wisconsin
DEAR SARAH: Cats’ eating behaviors have long been a source of curiosity for both pet owners and the scientific community. Why do they turn their nose up at certain foods and chow down on others? Why do they sometimes throw up after eating? Why do they gnaw on grass when they’re meat-eaters?
The answer is: It’s complicated, and no one is entirely sure. A 2015 study, for example, found that cats have some genes that are more commonly possessed by herbivores (animals that eat only plants, like cows). These particular genes help them detect bitter flavors, alerting them to potentially poisonous plants.
This research opens a new avenue into understanding why cats are more picky about their food than dogs -- also meateaters -- tend to be. If cats are detecting a bitter taste in their food then they may be less inclined to eat it. And, a bitter taste also may trigger a vomiting response to safeguard against ingesting what is perceived to be poison.
The study’s results could lead to changes in how commercial producers formulate their cat food. Whether that is a good thing remains to be seen.
In the meantime, feeding a finicky cat remains a trial-anderror process.Try small amounts of different foods -- dry, wet and fresh -- and note Trudy’s likes and dislikes.

Secure the Christmas tree. Much like other residents of the home, pets may be mesmerized by a glowing Christmas tree. Pets may sniff around the tree or investigate it closely, which can increase the chances that it tips over. That poses a significant safety hazard and underscores the importance of using a sturdy stand. Fastening the tree to a wall, much like one might do with a television that isn’t mounted, adds a further layer of protection from tip-overs.
Autumn is the season of change. ~Taoist
In Autumn 1621, Wampanoag joined English settlers at what is now Plymouth, MA to mark a successful harvest. Over the years, that harvest evolved into what we now recognize as the “First Thanksgiving.” Traditions may differ across the country, even across town or households, but typically, people pause and give thanks for the people and opportunities in their lives. This year, what are you most thankful for?
- Family, friends, and the people who support me
- Health and overall well-being
- Work, stability, and new opportunities
- Community, connection, and the ability to gather
- Personal growth, resilience, and hope for the year ahead

5.0% They’re the future. I expect widespread adoption soon.
15.0% They will grow steadily, but remain a mix with human-driven vehicles. 15.0% They are useful in certain situations, but limited use overall.
10.0% I’m skeptical. Major safety and ethical issues remain.
55.0% I don’t support autonomous vehicles at all.

Establish the budget. Homeowners should figure out how many dollars they can designate to a living room makeover before purchasing supplies or hiring out the work. Figure out the scope of the remodel, visit stores or suppliers to price out materials, get estimates from contractors, and then plan for some unforeseen circumstances along the way to determine if this type of renovation is affordable. If not, scale things back until the project more closely aligns with your budget.

Many thanks to all those who donated to the food pantry to help our neighbors in need during the SNAP funding crisis. Your support is impressive and your generosity knows no bounds. Thank You! We cannot do all the good that our neighbors need, but our neighbors need all the good that we can do.
The Geneseo Groveland Emergency Food Pantry
There are good times and not so good. With the SNAP benefits going away it leaves many people low or without food. Many pantries are being swamped with people who need food to feed their families. In Avon, and I know many other towns, the good outweighs the bad. People are stepping up their donations to the pantry. It renews our faith in humankind. So many people are so giving. Thank you to not only commercial businesses, but the DeHond family who have a great produce stand on Bronson Hill Road and have been donating fresh vegetables by the truck load for most of the summer. Among the giving are the individual families who reach deep into their pockets to help others. A HUGE thank you to all.
I would like to thank ALL of the volunteers for many different services they provide and do! You are appreciated very much! May God Bless You All!
Theater actors and musicians put in an incredible amount of time and training to hone their craft. The shows and concerts that are performed are the result of their efforts. We as the audience need to show more respect to these people. Using phones in the theater is disrespectful. Wearing pajamas is disrespectful. Let’s do better in our support of the arts.
Drivers, just so you know, dogs can’t drive! They don’t belong on your lap while driving. That’s dangerous and could cause an accident. Smarten up.
Please stop hanging your gutted deer right next to the road. I’m sure you’re proud. You want to show off. Many parents driving by with children in their cars do not appreciate seeing your kill. It’s not your place to teach others what they should or shouldn’t be exposed to.
As autumn deepens across the Finger Lakes, the beauty of the season offers a moment to reflect on the history held within our rolling hillsandquietlakeshores.Scatteredthroughout the Town of Canandaigua are small, historic cemeteries, some tucked behind fields, others perched along old roads, where generations of local residents rest, including veterans who once le farms, businesses, and families to secure the peace and freedom we enjoy today. eir gravestones speak across centuries. Beyond birth and death dates, many record relationships, community ties, military service, religious sentiment, even the economic and social shi s of their time. Most of these early burial grounds were originally created on private land and later passed into town ownership when they closed, including the cemeteries now overseen by the Town of Canandaigua. Together, they form an irreplaceable archive of local heritage.
It is among these hallowed spaces that the mission of Wreaths Across America (WAA) finds its purpose. What began as a simple gesture of thanks has grown into a national, year-long movement united by three principles: Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. is year, over 5,500 locations across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and abroadwilljointogetheronNationalWreathsAcrossAmericaDay, Saturday, December 13th, placing over three million handmade wreaths delivered by hundreds of volunteer truck drivers and companies. More than four million volunteers are expected to take part.
For the third year, Friends of Canandaigua Cemeteries (NY0540) coordinates concurrent WAA ceremonies and wreath placement at two of the Town of Canandaigua’s nine historic cemeteries, Hunn Cemetery and Academy Cemetery. e ceremonies will begin at 12 noon, in step with communities nationwide, including Arlington National Cemetery.
• Hunn Cemetery (5821 County Rd. 32) is the resting place of 14 Revolutionary War veterans and one War of 1812 veteran
• Academy Cemetery (5200–5298 Old West Lake Road) contains 49 veterans’ graves in addition to a monument honoring seven Civil War veterans
ese commemorations in Canandaigua are part of a wider county effort. Other Ontario County locations participating again this year include the South Farmington Friends Cemetery in Farmington (NYSFCF) and Overacker CemeteryinMiddlesex(NYOVCK).A eraceremonyatthe historic Bristol Center Church, the Bristol Hills Historical Society (NY0417P) and volunteers will place wreaths at the BristolCenterCemetery,VincentHillCemetery(NYBRCT), Coye Cemetery and Wilder Cemetery (NYCOYE), and Evergreen Cemetery (NYEVGN). In Victor, a ceremony at Town Hall (NYVTHV) will be followed by wreath placements at Boughton Hill Cemetery (NYBHLL), St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery (NYSPKC), and the Village of Victor Cemetery (NYVGVC).
Each handmade wreath is cra ed from balsam fir grown in Maine, made of 10 bouquets representing qualities embodied by veterans: belief in a greater good, love for one
We welcome stories and story ideas from readers year-round. 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!
In today’s busy world, it is easy to overlook the heritage secured for us by generations who served. Wreaths Across America offers a moment to pause, step away from daily routines, and focus on gratitude. Speaking a name, laying a wreath, and thanking a veteran becomes a profoundly personal act, one that honors not only those who served long ago, but also the men and women who continue to serve today.
e success of WAA reflects a national desire to express this gratitude openly. As priorities shi throughout life, honoring our heroes o en becomes more meaningful with age, and WAA’s year-round programming ensures we can teach younger generations by example.
All Wreaths Across America ceremonies are non-political, non-religious, and open to all. To sponsor a wreath or volunteer at a local site, visit WreathsAcrossAmerica. org. e Town of Canandaigua Wreaths Across America Volunteer Committee welcomes the community to join in commemorating our region’s patriotic legacy on December 13th at noon – to Remember, Honor, and Teach.
