Here’s a Tip Zip-top bags are essential when our family packs for holiday visiting. We use gallon-size bags for the kids’ outfits -- top, bottoms, underclothes, etc. -- and each bag holds one complete set. There is no suitcase chaos, as the bag comes out, and yesterday’s clothing goes in, ready for laundry day when we get home. Happy traveling. -- JoAnn After Christmas sales are a great time to buy not only gift wrap (look for solid colors that you can use all year long), holiday cards and decoration, but also next season’s winter wear. Things like scarves and gloves can be great bargains.

And even coats can go on sale. Take advantage -- especially if you have kids -- and buy up.

A great storage container for fancy ornaments is a liquor box, which you can get for free outside of package stores.

They have cardboard separators that make it easy to store glass bulbs. -- W.F. in New Mexico (c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘tis the season Shopping local gives your community’s artists and vendors exposure.

Small communities are often full of incredibly talented artists who can’t afford shop space until their business takes off, leading them to partner with local businesses to sell their products at a storefront. So when you shop local, you give those craftspeople the exposure and funding they need to grow their business.

Happy Holidays… Wishing Everyone a Happy and Healthy 2024!

Holiday shopping season typically begins the day after Thanksgiving and extends all the way to Christmas Eve. While that’s a considerable amount of time for shoppers to find gifts for everyone on their shopping list, many people will still find themselves putting holiday shopping off until the last minute.

In certain ways, last-minute holiday shopping is easier than ever. Thanks to online retailers who can ship products overnight, men and women who delay their holiday shopping have more options at their disposal than they did before the arrival of the Internet. And unlike the days of yore when the best deals were largely exclusive to Black Friday, some shoppers find that competition between online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores is so great that deals can be found regardless of when they begin shopping.

But while waiting until the last minute to begin holiday shopping may not be as risky as it used to be, shoppers may still benefit by sticking to certain strategies so they can find the perfect gifts without breaking the bank.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Ampullary Cancer Treatment Can Include Chemo Prior to Surgery ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband was diagnosed with ampullary cancer. He has a tumor the size of a marble. We are told this is an aggressive cancer. My concern is that they are giving him chemotherapy before the Whipple surgery. Is this standard practice? -- P.T. ANSWER: The ampulla of Vater is an opening in the duodenum (the first segment of the small intestine), where the common bile duct releases bile and pancreatic enzymes to aid digestion.

A cancer of the ampulla can originate from the pancreas, bile duct or duodenum, and these can all be aggressive cancers.

The standard approach in people with the possibility to be cured is called a pan creaticoduodenectomy, otherwise known as the Whipple procedure. Although this is a complex surgery that used to have a high mortality rate, the risk of death from the procedure in specialized centers is now about 1%.

Most people are familiar with getting chemotherapy after surgery to help remove any cancer cells that remain, a technique called “adjuvant therapy.” However, giving chemotherapy before surgery (“neoadjuvant chemotherapy”) has increasingly been used in people with ampullary cancer. The idea is to shrink the tumor to make it easier for the surgeon to remove completely. Chemotherapy may also kill any cancer cells that have already spread.

The decision of when to use chemotherapy depends on the individual’s situation, so I can’t tell you which would be better in your husband’s case, as I lack both the details of his tumor and the expertise. I can confirm that giving chemotherapy prior to surgery is being used in regards to ampullary cancer.

Colder Weather: How To Manage Your Blood Pressure & Health High blood pressure means that the force of blood pushing through your body is too strong. That pressure puts a strain on your arteries, which carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. In colder weather, blood vessels constrict more than normal, which raises blood pressure.

• Practice healthy habits: Being physically active, eating healthy & limiting alcohol can be critical to managing your high blood pressure year round, especially during fall and winter. Try to get up and move for at least 30 minutes each day. As the weather changes, modify your exercise routine to include raking leaves, shoveling snow or walking indoors at a mall.

• Measure and monitor your blood pressure regularly. Blood pressure monitors are inexpensive and can be purchased at pharmacies and other stores. Many supermarkets and pharmacies have machines that take and record your blood pressure.

More than one in three Americans have high blood pressure. To measure, monitor and maintain your blood pressure all year round and learn more about this disease, please visit MeasureUpPressureDown.com.

THE DANGERS OF BELLY FAT What’s so bad about belly fat? Seeing belly fat as a merely cosmetic concern overlooks the effects it has on overall health. According to the Mayo Clinic, belly fat is not limited to the extra layer of padding just below the skin known as subcutaneous fat. Belly fat also includes visceral fat, which means it extends to deep inside the abdomen and surrounds internal organs. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat in the belly is very close to the liver, which can turn it into cholesterol. From there, the fat goes through the bloodstream and may collect along the walls of the arteries, potentially contributing to a hardening and narrowing of the arteries known as atherosclerosis. The complications of atherosclerosis depends on which arteries are affected, but they can include an assortment of diseases that affect the arteries and a greater risk for aneurysms and chronic kidney disease.

Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat is just as harmful for the heart as high blood pressure and smoking. So while efforts to reduce belly fat may initially be embraced to improve appearance, individuals should know that reducing fat in their midsections also can reduce their risk for a host of conditions, some of which are deadly.

Behind the Scenes: The Enchanting World of Shortsville’s Reindeer Farm

BY SUZIE WELLS

I

n 2017, Mike and Lisa Schaertl started their reindeer herd with a couple of the animals as pets. Witnessing the community’s interest, they decided to open their farm to the public, establishing the Shortsville Reindeer Farm on Shortsville Rd as a seasonal destination with year-round outreach opportunities.

Mike expresses, “The reactions of kids, their parents, and grandparents inspired us to do more to introduce these magical creatures to the public. Many people have returned year after year to see the reindeer during the holiday season.”

The current herd consists of six reindeer, including four females referred to as cows, with hopes for future calves.

Operating behind the scenes are dedicated volunteers and part-time employees, notably the “Sunday Crew” led by Shawn and Sandy Williams, along with Shawn’s sister Gina and friend Linda. This team plays a crucial role in caring for the reindeer, even taking them on road trips when Mike is unavailable.

Additionally, about 15 hired staff members contribute significantly to the smooth operation of weekend events at the farm.

Mike emphasizes that their cherished moments stem from observing the joy on children’s faces as they interact with the reindeer.

The farm actively engages in events for the disabled, veterans at VA hospitals, and others, finding particular warmth in the reactions. An annual highlight for the Schaertls is the Christmas Eve visit to the Golisano Children’s Hospital, expressing gratitude for the positive impact of the reindeer visits.

Maintaining the reindeer’s health poses a significant challenge, according to Schaertl, as the animals require periodic worming, tick spraying, as well as general health monitoring.

Despite their toughness, reindeer tend to hide signs of illness, he says, which makes early detection difficult. Mike acknowledges the importance of their veterinarian, Kelly, who offers on-site services. Cases beyond Kelly’s scope go to Cornell University’s veterinary hospital.

Unlike deer Western NYers are used to, both male and female reindeer have antlers. Males shed theirs in November/ December, while females do so in March/April. Furthermore, reindeer and caribou, although similar, are distinct sub-species of cervids (deer family), with caribou being wild and native to North America and reindeer to Europe and Asia.

Reindeer are excellent swimmers, with large feet like paddles and dense fur that traps air and helps them float high in the water. They swim faster than the fastest human and they can run up to 45 miles an hour.

Mike says people with experience with horses may visit the farm and tell kids not to stand behind the reindeer because they might kick. But reindeer don’t kick behind. They tell visitors that the back and sides are a very safe place to be. It’s around the head that they can be dangerous, because a little shake of the head leads to big antler movements.

The Shortsville Reindeer Farm operates on an appointmentonly basis. To schedule a visit, interested individuals can access the website at www.shortsvillereindeer.com.

Several misconceptions surround reindeer. Contrary to popular belief, they are more comparable to cows than deer, being docile, leash-trainable, and allow people to stand right beside them, for instance. They also can’t jump very high like deer can.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Mollie is our little princess who enjoys rooting for the Buffalo Bills.

GO BILLS!

Should an owner punish puppy after accident?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I bought a puppy a few weeks ago who was between 2 to 3 months old. Star is wonderful, and housetraining has been OK. But yesterday, he pooed in the hallway while we were out. My boyfriend says I need to push his nose into the mess and punish him. I don’t think that’s the right way to train a puppy. What do you think? -- Daria in St. Louis, Missouri DEAR DARIA: Your instinct is spot on, and you should trust it more. That’s the wrong way to train a puppy. It’s aggressive, negative and doesn’t teach the puppy anything -- except to be afraid.

Young puppies are learning machines, picking up habits quickly -- both good and bad. They need to be constantly supervised to keep them safe and to correct them (not punish them) on the spot so they learn what they can and can’t do in the household.

When they’re not supervised, I recommend placing them in a properly sized kennel crate. Think of it as a den for your puppy, a safe spot. Again, not a place to punish him.

Furthermore, puppies need to pee and poo more frequently than adult dogs -- about four times daily at Star’s age, but sometimes more. It’s up to you to make sure their elimination schedule is adequate and that you are there to supervise them.

Star couldn’t wait for you to get home, so he went in the hallway. That’s on you, not on Star.

Clean up the mess (spray with an odor eliminator) and continue your training schedu

From all of us at

You Put “Community” in our name!

The Lakeville Community Pantry is so grateful to our community for the support, kindness and encouragement given in our first year since relocating and rebranding. Because of your caring and response to our requests, we are able to help those in our community with food insecurities. We thank all of the businesses, civic organizations and local churches for their support. We continue to be amazed by all the individual donors who quietly fill our donation box, provide gifts and reach out, and our volunteers who serve our guests. The Lakeville Community Pantry is overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you!

My Closest Friend - “Joiny” Yep! My closet friend is not Johnny, Jimmy or Joey. In fact it is not human at all. The name is “Joiny” and I coined it for my iPhone. There is nobody or nothing else that is always so close to me, and let’s me connect or join the world, but my trusty Phone “Joiny”. “Joiny” provides me with information that I didn’t know on a daily basis. I learn so much from this non-human, and it is with me constantly at my age of 82. I ask myself how I survived without “Joiny”? While I did survive, I was never as well informed nor able to connect with so many people in so little time. Thanks, electronic progress.

Litter Bugs Big Time Months ago hundreds of posters for a lost dog were posted throughout [3 local towns] and probably other towns. That pet is either lost or found by now and yet the posters remain. The posters are now unreadable and turning into trash. One polite phone call to the contact was ignored.

These poster-makers were asking for help in finding their pet, and yet violating the landscape for thousands of residents doesn’t bother them at all! Please come back and take out the trash! Selfishness is still selfishness. And littering is still against the law.

[Local Hospital] Needs New Weekend Policies I drove my wife, age 81 to [local hospital] ER on a Thursday and I was able to park close by in the ER open parking lot. My wife was admitted later that day. On Friday, I drove to the hospital and was glad to see Valet parking close to the main entrance. I am 82 with a bad knee. Saturday I arrived at the same valet place and was told no valet on the weekend, and to park in the large garage building free. I had to walk that day and the next day, Sunday, a long way to the front entrance. I was in pain, with nobody to help as I also carried a heavy bag. I also found out from the front desk that two main restaurants were closed as well as the gift shop. Now I call what [local hospital] does on weekends not good. A grade C-.

Things to think about while planning a eulogy * Some churches do not allow eulogies during a church service.

Others permit a brief reflection before the service or at the end. If you want a eulogy to be part of a church service, discuss this with the minister. Ask when during the service it is preferred and if there are any guidelines or restrictions to be aware of. * Other appropriate times for a eulogy may be during an evening service, during a visitation or following the remembrance service at a luncheon or reception. * If there are to be any readings during the service, the eulogist should be informed. * If there is to be more than one eulogy given, review this with the minister and coordinate with each speaker. Each speaker should avoid similar stories and themes, and each should be brief.

a festive table on a dime

YOU

C AN

DO

IT!

Presentation is king when it comes to setting a memorable holiday table, and it needn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some essential tips that will garner rave reviews at your next gathering.

Mercury Glass It’s everywhere these days.

From trees, to pumpkins, to candlestick holders, it’s timeless and transitions well from season to season.

Mix and Match Don’t be afraid to mix metallics. This gold flatware, purchased second-hand, is a standout.

Add Interest with Height A mix of faux and metallic pine trees give your table the height it needs. Be sure to place them strategically so your guests can easily see one another.

Start by scouring the house to see what you can mix and match to bring your table to life. Don’t be afraid to ask parents or grandparents for family heirlooms that they may be willing to part with.

One of the best investments you can make is solid white porcelain dishes. You can get them for a steal at most places and they’ll take you through every season. For a fun twist, layer them with whimsical holiday plates. Solid red napkins add a pop of color, and when placed under the plates, there’s no need for a runner or placemat.

Be Resourceful Think outside the box.

These heavy metal pinecones are confiscated from an old cuckoo clock.

Add some freshly clipped greens and you’re good to go.

Wooden reindeer, real pinecones and mixed greenery take the textural feel to the next level. Snips of spruce or boxwood trees from the yard up the texture, and best of all are free.

Details make all the difference. Adding personal placecards is a great touch that makes everyone feel special. How about adding a surprise lottery ticket to the bottom of a random plate? Sometimes a winner, and always a hit!

Experiment Pinterest is a great place to get ideas. Take a stab at different napkin folding techniques and see what suits your fancy.

Where to splurge This dining room table is a restored farmhouse table.

It seats 22 people when all leaves are in. If you’re going to go all out, do it here and know that it will be enjoyed for generations to come.
