SAFELY AVOID POTENTIAL WINTER HAZARDS Exercise extra caution when driving on roadways during the winter, as they may contain ice or snow. All it takes is a small coating of precipitation on roadways to make driving treacherous. Wetlooking roadways may be wet, or they may be covered by ice, and it’s difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye. Always slow down and assume you are driving on ice. Make every effort to improve visibility. This includes checking windshield washer fluid levels and ensuring windshield blades are in good working order.

Avoiding Medicare fraud Medicare is a pot of gold for scammers. There is a lot of money to be made by those who successfully commit fraud against seniors.

You, however, can stop them in their tracks by not falling for the scams.

Here are just a few of the scams: Genetic testing is a hot topic for those who want to be screened for a variety of potential illnesses. If you get a call offering genetic testing (or even at a booth at a senior fair), don’t believe the scammer who says that Medicare will pay for it, and that all you need to do is provide your Medicare number. Never give that number out! The only legitimate way Medicare will pay for genetic testing is if your doctor thinks it’s medically necessary and orders it.

Fre Consultation HOW TO ROAD TRIP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR Look for EV-friendly lodging. Many hotels now feature charging stations exclusively for guests with EVs. Some hotels include the cost of utilizing such stations in their parking fees, while others may charge an additional amount. Either way, the convenience of finding a hotel with its own charging station outweighs any extra costs, as cars can be charged overnight while guests are asleep, leaving more time to travel in a vehicle that’s fully charged each morning.

Even your medical provider shouldn’t be completely trusted.

When you receive your Medicare Summary Notice showing what was billed and what Medicare paid, look closely at it. Check the dates and services to be sure that you really did receive those services. While errors could be honest mistakes, maybe they’re not. Call your provider and ask them to send you an itemized bill so you can see how they came up with their numbers and to send a corrected bill to Medicare. If they don’t, or if you suspect fraud, report it. Call Medicare at 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227).

To learn more, see the Senior Medicare Patrol (877-808-2468) whose job is to ferret out Medicare fraud. Look for them at smpresource.org. Don’t miss the Consequences to Beneficiaries section of the website. The health impacts of fraud are scary: misinformation in our files, incorrect lab results and more. If you want to talk to a Senior Medicare Patrol representative, see the “Find Help in Your State” button.

For an overview of the types of fraud against seniors, see elderaffairs.org/wp-content/uploads/FraudMaterials.pdf. You’ll be surprised how many there are! © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

poem of the week Submitted by a local reader. Share your thoughts at gvpennysaver.com/hometown

Poem

By Kenneth Estes Jr Well, Christmas 2025 has come and gone, leaving behind memories to reflect upon. The stockings, hung with utmost care, and the ornaments and candles, with all their flair, are now carefully packed away in boxes padded with extra care. The paper and bows, neatly arranged in their designated space, bring hopes that they won’t be misplaced.

Amidst the excitement of unwrapping gifts, some treasures we’ll keep, for their worth is deep. Though returns may loom ahead, the joy of food and cookies we’ve fed, now lingers as a satisfying belly ache.

As the jolly old Saint Nick peacefully slumbers, knowing his work is done, we can all relate. But when he awakes, it’s back to work again, spreading cheer without a break. Our merry and bright day off fades with the morning light, reminding us that a year of anticipation has just begun. As the year comes to a close, we look forward to a New Year to come, without feeling downhearted, as 355 days will swiftly fly by, unlike the endless days of childhood.

These moments remind us to be grateful, joyful, and kind, for we never know how many more celebrations we’ll find. To all my beloved family and friends, I send my warmest wishes to you and yours, as the spirit of Christmas endures. May the coming year bring joy and cheer, as we continue to hold our loved ones near.

Unfortunate But True So let me get this straight: I can buy ham in a plastic bag, bread in a plastic bag, milk in a plastic jug, napkins in plastic wrap, salad in a plastic tub, and ketchup & mustard in plastic bottles‚ but I can’t get a plastic bag to carry it all home because that’s what’s bad for the environment? This doesn’t make any sense at all.

Distracted Driver!

I am so very thankful to the kind man, lady & yellow lab in the red pickup truck towing a trailer in Hamlin! I was distracted—not from texting or talking on my cell, but mentally not focused on driving due to a recent death of a family member. I went through a stop sign & cut him off. He skillfully maneuvered his truck to avoid a collision. I apologized but want him to know how very thankful I was of his skill & kindness! I also want to make people aware of how we can become a “distracted” driver due to many circumstances. Please don’t drive if you physically or emotionally aren’t up to it. HAPPY Blessed HOLIDAYS to all, especially my hero in the red pickup truck!

Handshaking reply May I enlighten readers regarding shaking hands?

Some folks may be immunodeficient because of cancer, or chemotherapy, and perhaps other conditions as well. These people are still friendly & peaceful; and challenged. Hands may transmit any virus, as well as Covid-19, bacteria, fungus, etc. It is now cold & flu season; please cover your sneezes and coughs but ideally not with your hands. And wearing a mask is also mandatory for some of us.

Thank you Dansville Rotary Club Thank you to the Dansville Rotary Club for preparing an absolutely delicious hot, fresh, timely, traditional Thanksgiving Dinner! It was beautifully prepared, delicious to eat, and greatly appreciated by this Senior Citizen. Thank you, thank you, sincerely!

Great time had by all Last weekend we went to the Hamlin Christmas Market.

Thanks to the Hamlin Recreation for putting it on. What fun! There were many enjoyable things to do and we did them all! Many unique crafters, one in particular I wish I had purchased a homemade Santa hat from. Would like to leave my number (585-957-1088) if they could contact me. Thanks again Hamlin, look forward to next year!!

Put a sock in it!

It’s bad neighboring to leave your dog chained in the front yard all hours of the day to bark menacingly at everyone and everything, even at 6:45am! It’s also animal cruelty. The poor thing is NEVER walked, just plopped out there to suffer in the sun, rain or snow. Grow up!

For five years, investigators had pursued the serial killer who terrorized Northern England. Sutcliffe had been interviewed nine times but always convinced detectives that he wasn’t involved.

Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.

Sully This is our 19 month old Schnoodle Sully.

He is a wonderful companion and loves playing outside, nice long walks, and sitting by a nice warm fire.

He brings such joy into our lives! He is a great friend.

By Sam Mazotta

A focus on pets’ weight for the New Year DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve made a resolution that I hope will resonate with many of your readers. My cat, “Gerard,” is 6 years old and has become very overweight. I can barely pick him up! Since October, I have been working with Gerard’s veterinarian to manage his weight, and things are turning around. I hope that this year, readers will focus on their pets’ whole health. Not just checkups, but everyday choices that will give their pets, like my cat, a longer, healthier life. -- Carly B. in Youngstown, Ohio DEAR CARLY: That is a fantastic resolution. Focusing on our pets’ well-being not only benefits them, but positively affects our lives as well.

Weight management alone has so many pluses. Keeping dogs and cats at a healthy weight reduces their risks for diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and some cancers. It also helps them move faster and play more because their energy levels leap up. It can lead to an overall longer lifespan -- so they’re part of your family for many years to come.

Working with a vet is ideal. They can offer impactful advice on ways to help your pet lose weight, and set a target weight for the type and size of pet. They can prescribe medications to help with anxiety and other issues that might be causing a cat or dog to eat more than they should. And they have a ton of information on keeping your pet healthy and safe, beyond weight management.

Did You Know?

Animals verbalize in many different ways to communicate. One thing cat owners may notice is that cats have a tendency to meow as a form of speaking with humans. However, according to the North Shore Animal League America, cats almost never meow at other cats, as meowing is a sound generally reserved for interacting with humans. Cat owners should talk back to their cats often, as cats enjoy hearing their own names and their owners’ voices.

With more than half of dogs and cats in the U.S. now classified as overweight, making a resolution to get your pet to a healthy weight is one of the best things a pet owner can do right now.

ELSIE’S STEWED APPLES Serves 6 to 8 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices 1/2 cup honey, preferably sage honey 1/2 cup white wine Zest of 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon Fresh sage sprigs for garnish 1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.

2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water.

Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.

3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas.

Individuals may find that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unfinished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion.

Homeowners may find that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors.

One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel.

Address drafts and other inefficiencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent infiltration.

Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations.

Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchens. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives.

Pulmonary Nodules Appear, Leading To Concern About CANCER

East Bloomfield: Lotus Grove Center 1 Wellness Way

HEALTH & WELLNESS, REFERRAL

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 76-year-old woman in what I thought was excellent health. On a recent coronary calcium CT scan that was ordered because of my age and slightly elevated cholesterol, an incidental finding was described in the report as “innumerable, tiny noncalcified pulmonary nodules bilaterally.” The largest of these is in the “left lower lobe with multiple additional 2- to 4-mm nodules,” and they recommended “clinical correlation and a consideration of a dedicated chest CT.” I found the report quite scary, especially considering my mother and grandfather died of lung cancer (although they were smokers and I never smoked). My primary physician has ordered the chest CT but wants to wait four weeks. She says that the nodules could be caused by inflammation or infection and might resolve on their own.

My fear is that they’re actually lung cancer and waiting four weeks might be problematic, not to mention extremely anxiety-producing. I would appreciate your input. -- M.S. ANSWER: I certainly understand why you are concerned about lung cancer given your family history, but primary lung cancer is very unlikely. Since there are so many of these tiny nodules, I agree with your doctor that these are highly unlikely to be lung cancer, which is generally only a single nodule.

Your doctor is correct that there are inflammatory and infectious conditions that can cause a similar appearance on a chest CT. Some of these infections are serious (including tuberculosis), but people generally have symptoms. So, I think this is unlikely. Exposure to lung toxins, especially silicosis and asbestosis, are generally occupational, but they are another potential cause.

Some cancers can spread to the lungs. While the appearance of nodules on a CT scan in a person with no known cancer would be unusual, if the CT scan in four weeks shows that the nodules are enlarging, then this would be concerning.

Getting another scan in less than four weeks might not be enough time to see a change.

I am sorry about the unavoidable anxiety in waiting for the scan, but it’s likely that the scan won’t show a change and you will be able to stop worrying.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was experiencing hoarseness while taking ibuprofen. A friend got intestinal bleeding due to taking it. My doctor gave me 7.5 mg of meloxicam daily, but I’m not sure it’s OK for long periods of time. I’m 73 with osteoarthritis and osteopenia.

I exercise daily and eat a healthy diet, and I have high blood pressure that is controlled with losartan and amlodipine. -- T.M.H. ANSWER: Ibuprofen is generally a safe drug, but it does have the potential for side effects -- some of them being serious.

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a serious one, and it is most common in older women. I would not try a second nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) like meloxicam in a person who has a history of serious bleeding with any other similar drug.

Hoarseness could be due to an allergy, due to direct irritation of ibuprofen on the throat, or from the worsening of acid reflux, which can cause hoarseness if acid gets all the way into the throat.

Meloxicam is also an NSAID but is chemically in a different class from ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil and others) or naproxen (Aleve and others), which are closely related. It’s reasonable to give it a try, but if it causes hoarseness again, then an NSAID probably isn’t a good choice for your arthritis. You could consider acetaminophen (Tylenol) or topical NSAIDs, which do not get absorbed enough to cause an increased bleeding risk.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DAIRY Heart health benefits: Some people avoid dairy because of perceptions that it is bad for cardiac health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology that looked at 20 studies involving around 25,000 people found no association between the consumption of most dairy products (including whole fat varieties) and cardiovascular disease. The only exception was milk, but the results showed one would have to drink almost a liter of milk a day for a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, the American Heart Association recommends adults choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products whenever possible. Also, a 2018 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found men who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less.

Local Bands Converge to Support Clean Water Access in Uganda B Y S O P H I A KO VAT C H

Every December for over ten years, local bands have donated one of their Friday night slots to a live music fundraiser to support the Ugandan Water Project, a Lima-based nonprofit dedicated to bringing clean, safe water access to rural communities in Uganda. Known as Tanks Tonight, this year’s lineup features Blue 22, Nile Singers, and Queen tribute band Queen Mary.

Tanks Tonight aims higher than ever in 2025, increasing their fundraising goal in line with an important milestone the Ugandan Water Project reached this year: installing community-wide water systems that bring clean water directly into rural families’ homes for the first time. It’s taken years for the Ugandan Water Project to build the level of trust, sustainability, and financial stability needed to implement major water infrastructure projects like this, and the Rochester-based support has played an important role in that growth.

JAMES HARRINGTON & MIKE MUSCARELLA

“Our goal this year is to raise funding for a well that is motorized and gets piped out into homes, like we have here in our communities.”

J E S S A L I N A I T W E , C H I E F O F S TA F F F O R T H E U G A N D A N WAT E R P R O J E C T

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

The Ugandan Water Project began in 2008, when Lima resident, James Harrington, met a Ugandan pastor at a neighbor’s barbecue. After hearing about the day-to-day challenges of living in a region without reliable clean water, Harrington began fundraising to build rainwater collection systems in Uganda.

During the Project’s early years, Mike and Mel Muscarella visited Uganda and had the idea for the event that would become Tanks Tonight. Mike says, “Our rag-tag indie band, Violet Mary, wanted to help the cause while stateside, having been very moved by our experiences and new connections throughout central and southern Uganda.”

The first year, they raised enough money for a single rainwater collection system, but as the Ugandan Water Project has taken on larger projects, Tanks Tonight set more ambitious fundraising goals. “What started as ‘One Tank, One Night’ and a modest goal of raising $3,600 in one evening has grown to over $50,000 per event,” says Mike, who will take the stage this year with Queen Mary alongside partner Mel.

Jess Alinaitwe, Chief of Staff for the Ugandan Water Project, looks forward to Tanks Tonight every year, saying, “Our goal this year is to raise funding for a well that is motorized and gets piped out into homes, like we have here in our communities. With one of these large systems, we’re able to impact anyone within the service area of that system – if there’s a school there, if there’s a health center, if there are churches, and [there’s also water access] at the individual household level. It has a multiplied impact over one of the rainwater collection systems, but it’s still in line with the original vision of the event.”

The work of the Ugandan Water Project over the years has been critical in providing more water access points, whether through rainwater collection systems, drilling and repairing wells, or installing and maintaining water access points.

As projects have grown more complex, the organization has grown in complexity too, structuring its organization to maintain and sustain the projects. With offices in both Lima, NY and Uganda, the team works creatively over long distances to accomplish their goals, balancing social and fiscal goals between cultures.

Muscarella has long been impressed with the Ugandan Water Project’s commitment to the communities they serve and the donors who fund their projects. He says, “The Ugandan Water Project functions differently. They put a light on corporate infrastructure and are mission-focused.

[They go] beyond holiday good will towards humans and into realms of justice and equity for all.”

He says Tanks Tonight also operates differently than many fundraisers, because “all of the performers have skin in the game: they are actively working to meet the financial goal through compassionate activism in the weeks prior to the show.”

Once funds are raised, usually with “a little bit of friendly competition,” Alinaitwe says, it doesn’t take long for the money to turn into water access points for rural Ugandan communities. In previous years, Muscarella says, “within eight weeks of the event, the funds raised are turned into installed rainwater collection and filtration systems providing thousands of families with sustainable water for decades. Each tank is installed by trained Ugandan workers and maintained by trained community members.”

Making sure the community has the knowledge to maintain the system is a critical aspect of the long-term sustainability of the Ugandan Water Project. Alinaitwe says, “People need to understand how to take care of the water resource and how to prevent breakdowns. We do a lot of training on how to maintain the resource, make sure everything’s working in proper condition when we leave, and then leave it in the hands of the community after those trainings to maintain it.”

Tanks Tonight will take place on December 12th at Lovin’ Cup in Henrietta. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the first band starts at 7:00 p.m. The $5 cover charge supports the building of community water systems in Uganda. ugandanwaterproject.com

DID YOU KNOW? In a survey of 3,500 working professionals, Allied Van Lines found that 17 percent had relocated for a job. Roughly 50 percent of those who relocated did so for career advancement and/or more money, while 8 percent moved to be closer to family or for other relationship reasons.

Moving is often characterized as stressful, and 31 percent of survey respondents who moved indicated that finding a home was the most challenging part of relocating for a job. Acclimating to a new community (29 percent), finding services such as utilities and medical care (13 percent) and making friends (12 percent) were also cited as some of the most challenging parts of relocating for a job. As difficult as relocating can be, 64 percent of those who had relocated expressed positive sentiments toward their job relocation, while just 7.5 percent harbored negative feelings about relocating (28 percent were neutral).

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

NOTICE The Town of Geneseo is seeking a

Highway/Water/Sewer Employee Must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record. Pay starting at $30.00 per hour, plus superior benefits which include Health Insurance, NYS Retirement, Vacation, Sick Days and Personal Time.

Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.

A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.

Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.
