LOCAL DINING SPOTS FOSTER COMMUNITY
Crowd control: Local restaurants tend to be smaller and more intimate than many chain restaurants. This can translate into a calm dining experience. When crowds are small, the noise level inside the restaurant may be muted and service may be fast because there aren’t as many tables to serve. Furthermore, local establishments, although concerned about making a profit, may be less worried about table turnover rate, preferring to let diners linger if it means repeat business.
Locally grown, fresh dressed, ready to cook. $3.75/lb.
Available Nov. 24th at WHITEMAN MEAT PROCESSING 3 Dock St., Dansville, NY 14437 585-335-5230

Peak viewing times
Areas of the northern-most latitude will start to show color earlier than more southern areas. Generally speaking, the leaf-viewing season begins in late September and runs through early November for much of North America. Peak times for viewing depend on areas of travel and time of year. For large swaths of Canada and the United States, plan trips for late-September to mid-October. The Weather Channel offers maps and charts at www.weather.com/maps/fall-foliage for the peak times for many areas of the U.S.

HOW TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR VETERANS
Millions of people make considerable sacrifices to protect the freedoms of their fellow citizens. According to the Pew Research Center and data from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently more than 18 million living veterans in the United States.
e term “veteran” refers to a person who served in the active military, naval, air service, or space service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. In the U.S., there are actually five types of protected veterans, according to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. Under VEVRAA, a veteran may be classified as a disabled veteran, recently separated veteran, active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, or Armed Forces service medal veteran.
Veterans deserve respect and admiration all year long, but also get their own holiday each November. Veterans Day celebrates veterans’ patriotism and willingness to sacrifice and serve. is Veterans Day, people can consider these eight unique ways to honor the veterans in their community.
Attend events: Organize or participate in local Veterans Day celebrations, such as parades and ceremonial events.
Get involved with veterans’ affairs: Support veterans by volunteering with organizations that assist them, such as the VA, local veteran’s groups, VA hospitals, or charities dedicated to veteran services.
Petition for veteran speakers: Reach out to schools, scout troops or other groups and arrange opportunities for veterans to share their stories and contributions. Learning about the sacrifices these men and women made can heighten individuals’ appreciation for veterans.
Support the families of veterans: Reach out to veterans’ families, who also must make sacrifices and concessions. Anything from shopping, babysitting, doing chores, or making a meal can help the families of veterans.
Make a donation: If finances allow, make contributions to reputable charities that provide services for veterans like those that offer mental health counseling or job placement services. If there isn’t a charity that fits with your vision, begin one.
Hire veterans to work: If you are a business owner or hiring manager, consider hiring veterans for open positions at your company. It can be challenging to reenter the workforce a er service, so make it known that your firm welcomes veterans.
Offer personal acknowledgements: Take the time to speak to veterans and thank them for their service. If possible, when dining out, ask the server if you can pay for the meal of a veteran who also is dining that day.
Don’t forget the fallen veterans: Although Memorial Day is designed to honor those who lost their lives through military service, people still can honor the fallen veterans on Veterans Day by sharing stories or placing flags at veteran cemeteries.

CHRIS LYNN:
Composing History Through Community and Music
BY SUZIE WELLS
Performing in and co-conducting the Hornell Area Wind Ensemble, Dansville resident Chris Lynn weaves together community, history, and passion. Lynn has spent 25 years as a member of the volunteer ensemble, playing trumpet and horn, and sharing the podium with co-conductor, Ed Belin, retired Hornell instrumental music teacher. is season, Lynn also takes on another significant role: composer of Antietam honors one of the most pivotal and tragic battles of the American Civil War.
A graduate of Wayland-Cohocton Central School, Lynn now teaches middle school music at his alma mater, and he and his wife, Bevin, have lived in Dansville for about 20 years. Music has always been central to his life. “I was definitely a ‘band kid’ growing up, starting with the trumpet in 5th grade,” he recalls, crediting teachers Rich Marflak, Rhonda Parker, and George Standish for nurturing his early talent. He studied music composition at SUNY Geneseo and music education at Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam.
Lynn is quick to acknowledge that the spirit of mentorship continues well into adulthood. “I consider all my bandmates in the Hornell Area Wind Ensemble to be mentors in a way, because I believe I learn something new from them every single week,” he says. He praises both Belin, and band president, Jim Caneen, for their integral roles in the group’s success over the decades.
A Battle Remembered in Music
Lynn’s Antietam is a deeply researched and emotionally charged composition that “tells the story of the American Civil War battle, Antietam, and honors those who served and those who were lost in the fighting.”
His inspiration was rooted in a lifelong fascination with history, particularly the Civil War. “I have visited a good number of sites, such as Gettysburg, New Market, Petersburg, Chickamauga, and many others,” he says. “I always found the Antietam battlefield very compelling.” He says its landscape still reflects its past, with “the Sunken Road and Burnside Bridge still readily apparent” with few modern distractions. “It is easier to imagine the progress of the battle itself and the tragedy and horror that went along with it.”
Lynn chose Antietam because, despite its significance, it is o en overlooked in historical commemoration. “Not only was it a vital strategic victory for the North, in that it turned back Lee’s invasion in 1862, but it also was used as the impetus for President Lincoln to sign his Emancipation Proclamation,” he explains. Without that perceived Union victory, Lynn says, “Lincoln would have had to postpone or even give up on his presentation of the document, which was a key step in ending slavery permanently.”
Cra ing the Story in Sound e creation of Antietam was both a scholarly and artistic endeavor. To create the musical work, Lynn took two avenues of research, first researching the battle itself, and second researching collections of Civil War songs. Drawing from both Union and Confederate music, he integrated melodies such as “Battle Cry of Freedom,” “Bonnie Blue Flag,” “Dixie,” and “Go Down, Moses,” reshaping them harmonically and rhythmically to narrate the unfolding battle and its a ermath.
Lynn first completed the piece in 2012, performed with narration largely of historical quotes. In the updated version, narration has been replaced by program notes and a slideshow of the subtitles of each section that depict the conflict’s different phases.
A er a “foreboding” Prelude, “Lee and Little Mac” captures the “personalities and mutual blunders” of commanders Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan. “Dawn Arrival” introduces the Union Army’s hopeful march, featuring “Rally Around the Flag.” Following are a succession of intense battle sequences: “ e Cornfield,” with a simulated artillery bombardment played by the percussion section and intensifying music across the band, “Sunken Road” and “Burnside Bridge” whose emotional and musical power represent two major engagements within the battle.
“Hill’s Assault” signals the arrival of Confederate reinforcements from Harper’s Ferry with a dramatic rhythmic shi . e tone darkens in “A ermath,” evoking “terror, anger, and frustration at
the destruction wrought by the fighting.” Music then transitions into mourning, led by the spiritual “Go Down, Moses.” e final movement, a variation of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” transforms into a moment of triumph and remembrance of the fallen, paving the way for emancipation.
Finding Community rough Music
For Lynn, conducting and composing are not solitary pursuits but instead quite communal and he finds himself re-energized a er each rehearsal. He attributes energy to the ensemble’s camaraderie and shared purpose, saying, “Making music with my friends and neighbors is a truly special experience. I feel very lucky to have an ensemble like this locally.”
Lynn says community bands “provide an outlet for musicians in the area and give the gi of music and culture to our area.” He emphasizes that instrumental music is “for everyone,” noting that members of the ensemble range from their mid-teens to mid-eighties. “It’s never too late to come back to your instrument or learn one for the first time. He encourages anyone with an instrument to join their Tuesday night rehearsals from 7:30 to 9:15 p.m. at the Hornell High School band room.
Upcoming Performances
e Hornell Area Wind Ensemble’s 2025-2026 season includes concerts on December 13th at 7:30 p.m. at Hornell High School, February 14th at 5:00 p.m. at Wayland-Cohocton Central School Performing Arts Center, March 28th at 2:00 p.m. at Arkport Central School, May 23rd at 8:00 p.m. at Hornell High School, and June 12th at 6:45 p.m. at Hornell Broadway Mall.

ANTI-BULLYING
HOW TO OBSERVE ANTI-BULLYING WEEK WEEK
Bullying affects education
Almost 160,000 teenagers have skipped school because of bullying.
Reporting is an issue
Older students are less likely to report bullying incidents, which is why it's so essential for others to intervene on their behalf.
Wearing odd socks symbolizes our differences. It's a subtle way to say that people should be themselves and that we should accept one another by celebrating our differences.
Stepping in makes a difference
57% of bullying situations stop when peers intervene on behalf of the bullied student.
Calling it out
Labeling incidents as bullying influences whether students tell an adult and how the adult will respond to the incident.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Finding Food
I recently learned a few things about my local food bank that I didn’t know. Maybe your food bank has these services as well.
The local food bank has a mobile pantry that goes to the senior housing building once a month for seniors who can’t get out to the regular weekly location. While they don’t carry a large variety on the van, they do have some of most everything, including canned and boxed foods, coffee and tea, some meats in a small freezer, dairy and bread.
They’ve just started home delivery in the area, right in time for winter. For this a senior needs to sign up in advance and have their doctor sign a form saying yes,they could benefit from having food delivered instead of having to go out on icy roads to make a pickup. The sign-up form also has a place to list any allergies and preferences, so the box of food is a bit customized.
Our local food bank isn’t the only one in the area. Churches and towns sometimes have their own. See www.gsfb.org/food-map and put in your ZIP code for locations near you. In my area I discovered six additional food bank locations I knew nothing about.
Look into the senior food box program. Once a month participants in the program have a box of food delivered. Find contact and income eligibility information by doing an internet search for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program in your state.
Then there is Meals on Wheels, where prepared food is delivered to seniors who have trouble cooking for themselves. They often have low sodium and diabetic meal options. Depending on your location, there might be a small fee for the meals.
If you need food, don’t give up. It’s out there and you can find it. There are more food sources than you might imagine.

Everyone involved in the accident was unharmed, thankfully, and the Leising’s wanted to extend their upmost gratitude for everyone who stopped to help. Also, a big thank you to people who helped find Lucy (puppy) after the accident. Thank you to the community and everyone involved for all the help and kindness!
The Leisings
On Solar Farms
Someone else here talked about them being upset about the solar farms popping up, and I have something to say in regards to that. Do you know where we have plenty of open space that wouldn’t look any worse if we put a solar farm there? The air space above cars in huge store parking lots. It would conserve space and not take up extra land that could be used in so many better ways. Be mad that our legislators and local governments won’t do that instead of insisting people say no to solar. They’re doing what’s easiest for them and not what’s best for our community and the integration of solar into it.
Why Is is Acceptable Now?
It’s honestly frustrating to see the double standards that still exist—especially when it comes from people who are supposed to set an example. There’s a school board member in our district who freely posts politically charged and borderline unacceptable comments on social media. And yet... nothing. No consequences. No accountability. What happened to professionalism? What happened to representing all students and families, regardless of political background? In the past, others have been ostracized or pushed out for expressing their views—even when they were respectful and constructive. But now, because it’s someone in power, we’re just supposed to look the other way?

Keep dogs warm in the winter chill
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little Sheltie, “Gabriel,” loves going for walks outside, but he starts shivering after about five to 10 minutes and we have to turn around and go home. He’s really active, so I don’t understand why he can’t stay warm. Can you help? -- Joseph in Grand Rapids, Michigan
DEAR JOSEPH: Little dogs are bundles of energy, but that’s often not enough to defeat Mother Nature and stay warm outside when the cold winds of winter are blowing.
Dogs regulate their temperature through their skin, and they tend to lose a lot of heat this way. That’s great in the summer when they need to cool off, but a handicap for many breeds in the winter. Huskies and other large dogs with double-thick coats and lots of energy can stand bitter cold better than smaller dogs with single coats. And, as PetMD puts it, small dogs have a lower surface area to volume ratio than big dogs. Internally, they don’t hold onto heat as well. So they get cold much faster.
A cold injury can be quite serious for dogs of any size, so prevention is essential. Once the temperature drops below 60 degrees,your dog should be wearing a sweater on outside walks. If it’s windy or rainy, a water-resistant shell is best. Booties will protect a small dog’s paws from cold sidewalks, and later, as winter closes in, from ice, salt crystals and snow.
And don’t think that big dogs are off the hook! Owners of larger dogs need to put them into a sweater or coat and booties during the winter, too. Remember, their paws are making contact with the cold pavement and they’re losing heat steadily, just like small dogs

LEAF PEEPING PLANNING GUIDE
Pack the right gear
While most people are not without a smartphone that can capture amazing high-resolution imagery, serious leaf photographers may want to take out their prized camera equipment for leaf-peeping excursions. Also bring along a map or a GPS-enabled device so you can explore back roads and areas off the beaten path more readily.
There are plenty of apps that can help with foliage-finding adventures, so a phone is a handy tool. When packing, also bring along hiking boots, comfortable layered clothing and any equipment you’d normally take for an afternoon in the great outdoors.
Another idea is to hit the ATM machine prior to the visit. Many smaller towns and their local shops may not take credit cards, so it’s best to have cash on hand for food and souvenirs.

Debunking Ivermectin as a ‘Miracle Treatment’ for CANCER
DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with stage 4 high-grade ovarian cancer in September 2024. I underwent a major surgery in March after the tumor shrank. I see a top doctor at a renowned hospital, and I trust him. I went through seven rounds of chemo with three different meds. I handled it well as I am very fit and 64 years old. I am now on maintenance medications (Avastin and Lynparza). My numbers are going up. I know my prognosis isn’t good, but I try to live my best life. I have a lot of different things to look forward to (marriages, grandbabies, etc.).
I have many friends who keep suggesting ivermectin as a treatment. (These people are also anti-vaxers.) I don’t fall into this group of people as I believe in modern medicine and have trusted my doctor. So, my question is: What are your thoughts about this treatment, and what have you heard about it within the medical community? -- L.N.
Q. A.
ANSWER: I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis,but I congratulate you on your good attitude. The treatment for ovarian cancer has changed dramatically in the past few years. There are many treatments, and although they are often not able to cure cancer, they can keep cancer at bay -- sometimes for many years, even decades. Having an important life event to look forward to is important to maintaining a good attitude.
As far as ivermectin goes, there is a small possibility that it will turn out to be a useful treatment for cancer. I have read some preclinical studies that suggested some benefit. However, no studies that were done on actual people have proven it to be useful for any type of cancer so far. Many promising treatments turn out to be failures after the initial clinical trials.
There are people who feel that there are hidden treatments for cancer and that there is a massive conspiracy to keep successful cancer treatments from being used. Having known many doctors and research scientists who unfortunately died from cancer themselves, I can assure you that this isn’t the case. Many scientists across the globe are working hard to find new treatments, and every year brings incremental benefits.
Ivermectin is the most recent “miracle treatment” that I have heard about. I can recall easily at least a half dozen miracle treatments in the past 20 years that haven’t turned out to be useful. Some of these are not only useless but are actively harmful. While ivermectin is generally safe when dosed appropriately for its indication of treating parasites, it can be dangerous at high doses.
I respect the use of alternative treatments to manage the symptoms that are caused by cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. However, people who rely on alternative treatments for treatment of their cancer do not do as well as people who are getting the best care that modern medicine currently has to offer.
I recommend that you thank your friends for their advice and tell them that you trust your medical team and will follow what your doctor recommends.
