~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742–1799), translated by Norman Alliston, 1908
Get rid of your old holiday lights. Still using the same Christmas lights you used in 1995? Such lights are likely incandescent bulbs that are considerably less efficient than today’s LED Christmas lights. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy notes that LED lights consume 75 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. In addition, the OEERE says that LED holiday lights are easier to install and that as many as 25 strings of lights can be connected end-to-end without overloading a wall socket.

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

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.

Breaking Down the Difference Between a Cold and Influenza
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.
Q. Q. A.
A.
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.
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
Generosity Abounds
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.
Volunteering
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!
Respect for the Arts
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 & Pets
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.
Deer Hunter
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.
THE RAGGI FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS CONTINUE TO DELIGHT WITH FESTIVE LIGHTS AND MUSIC ON FARMINGTON’S BUCKSKIN DRIVE
BY SUZIE WELLS
“There’s a lot of work that goes into the project, but as soon as the first cars go by, it’s all worth it.”
BRUCE RAGGI
spread to a few neighbors he could connect to with wires. at evolved to using wireless antennae to bump the signal around the street and neighborhood. is year, the lightshow includes dozens of homes in the neighborhood setting their lights to the tunes on 91.1FM, creating a festive holiday atmosphere each evening.
Raggi said setting up for the light show becomes a community event, and then the neighbors convene to welcome visitors to their luminous holiday haven. Each year, he rents a boom li and they go down the street to put things in trees together.
Raggi takes pride in his homemade yard decorations, and his personal favorites are the four big snowflakes in his windows. Cra ed from PVC pipe and about 800 lights on each, the snowflakes this year feature newly rewired blue LED lights, so they’re very bright, he says.
His home also features Santa in an upstairs window; check their Facebook page to see when Santa will make an appearance for eager visitors.
Bruce’s children, Jennifer, Nicole, and Bruce Jr., and grandchildren, Madi and LJ, help him set up the light show each year. He’s excited to share that granddaughter Jadyn, soon on leave from the Army, may even join in the fun.
anksgiving evening through the holidays.
He says that it’s just him and his son, Bruce Jr. at the house now, so while the children all urge the elder Bruce to get a Christmas tree for inside the home, he laughs that his “Christmas decorations are all outside.”
To Raggi, the holiday season means “getting ready for the light show.” Raggi loves spreading holiday cheer for the community. He says, “ ere’s a lot of work that goes into the project, but as soon as the first cars go by, it’s all worth it.”
Raggi’s children add, “We think our dad has gone above and beyond trying to bring joy to the community and help people while being so selfless. He revolves his whole fall season around planning and setting up for the show. He has turned a small hobby into something that people drive hours to see.
We welcome stories and story ideas from readers yearround. 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!
anks to Nicole’s map, highlighting participating homes, the event’s reputation has spread organically, attracting visitors from all over the region. Raggi says that more and more of the neighbors who don’t synchronize decorations to the music have been inspired to join the festive fun, expanding the neighborhood unity and joy.
is year, 100% of donations (cash only, please, at 6221 Buckskin Dr., Farmington) at the light show go to the John F. Russo Jr. Memorial Foundation to help people with cancer. In previous years, Raggi says contributions from the light show supported the families of local heroes.
Buckskin Drive warmly invites visitors from Sundays through ursdays 4:30-10pm, and Fridays and Saturdays 4:30-11pm. e community spirit, amplified by weekend gatherings where neighbors distribute candy canes to passing cars, adds an extra layerofwarmthtothisdazzlingseasonalcelebration.

SPIRITUAL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
Share the story of Christmas
The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin when visited by an angel who informed her that she was to carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes. That required people to return to their places of birth. As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter in a stable where Jesus was ultimately born.
