Tire Deals

are our business!

According to the automotive retailer Pep Boys, vehicle tires lose a pound of air pressure for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Many modern cars will alert to changes in air pressure, and drivers should be diligent in maintaining the proper tire pressure. Fuel economy as well as handling ability can decline when tires are not inflated properly. Tires can be refilled at many gas stations for little cost.

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

LEAF PICKUP SCHEDULE

Leaf pickup will begin Monday, October 20th and run through Friday, December 5th

How To Place Leaves for Pickup

Leaves should be placed close to the edge of the road. ey should not extend onto the road. Leaves should not be placed in ditches or covering storm sewer drains. Doing this will obstruct the storm drains which will increase the risk of flooding. Leaves should be in a long row no farther off the road than 8 feet. Do not mix branches of foreign objects with the leaves. is can cause damage to the machine that picks up the leaves.

Refer to brush pickup for branches.

The village has leaves from collections from previous years available. They are excellent for gardens or landscape areas!

HOBBIES FOR DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES

BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

Book lovers also can channel their passions for the written word into a rewarding hobby. While reading might not seem like the most social activity, readers who want to use their love of books to grow their social networks can start a book club. People of all ages and backgrounds love to read, so starting a book club can be a great way to meet an array of people.

According to a 2011 study published in the peer-reviewed journal the Annual Review of Nutrition, experimental data from animal studies suggests that maternal undernutrition among pregnant women may play a role in preterm birth. The study also reported that a lack of specific nutrients during pregnancy may influence gestation length by increasing the likelihood that a woman will give birth before reaching full-term. Women who are pregnant or hope to become pregnant can speak with their physicians about the role nutrition can play in a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

Some women who have a high risk of breast cancer may choose to have a risk-reducing mastectomy (the removal of both breasts when there are no signs of cancer). The risk of breast cancer is much lower in these women and most feel less anxious about their risk of breast cancer. However, it is very important to have a cancer risk assessment and counseling about the different ways to prevent breast cancer before making this decision.

Christian Larsen Mazzola September 19, 1939 – August 31, 2025

Christian passed away peacefully on August 31, 2025, at age 85, with his family by his side.

Born September 19,1939,in Auburn,NY,to L.Charles Mazzola and Agnes Larsen Mazzola, Christian is survived by his wife of 44 years,Susan Gallas Mazzola, his son, Colin Larsen Mazzola (Kim), Bolton, MA, and his granddaughter, Eva Grace Mazzola, Dublin, Ireland. He leaves behind his brother, Lars C. Mazzola (Jane), Geneseo, NY, and his sister, Joy Mazzola Bidlack (Jerry), East Aurora, NY.

Looking for a place to picnic, his parents and grandmother found a spot on a farm in Springwater, NY to enjoy the view of the valley and tip of Hemlock Lake.In 1935,they purchased the property and moved the family to the farm when Christian was 12. He was enamored with the barns, fields, ponds, and the wooded hill. Christian developed a love of mowing the trails, tinkering in the barn, working on projects, and when he was older, buying tractors. His love of the family farm pulled Christian and Susan to visit every year and to eventually spend summers there.

Christian graduated from Wayland High School in 1957 and Hamilton College in 1961. He had a lifelong love of music, attending lessons at e Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and during summers at TallyHo Music Camp in Honeoye, NY.

e experiences, friendships and teachers Christian had at Hamilton College were ones he cherished throughout his life. He was a member of ELS (Emerson Literary Society),the Hamilton Choir,and the Buffers.After college, Christian served his country in the U.S. Army Reserve for four years.

“More people are flattered into virtue than are bullied out of vice....”

~ Robert Smith Surtees

It is probably true that very few saintly people got that way entirely as a matter of their own choice. They wanted the approval of their peers (don’t we all?) and so they conducted their lives in a way such as to win approval. They were “flattered” into virtue.

On the other hand, few people have ever been persuaded to give up bad habits by threats..... “bullied” out of vice. The moral here, if one may be drawn, is that most of us do what is expected of us. We can best inspire others by having high expectations.

Every adult, who might some day be required to make funeral arrangements, should be fully informed before the need arises. We are here to answer your questions and to offer advice, without obligation.

Christian was grateful for his time at Hamilton, eventually establishing a scholarship for graduates within the communities around his beloved farm in Springwater, NY.

Christian’s career began at Mohawk Airlines after which he joined Johnson & Johnson for 15 years. In 1993, Christian joined Corvita to manage their Brussels, Belgium office, returning to their Miami headquarters in 1996. Semi-retired in 2004, Christian stayed active joining boards of directors.

Christian found golf later in life and started a group called the ‘Dewsweepers’ who played together almost 20 years. He enjoyed Tai Chi, walking to their classes several times a week. Interested in his local community, Christian worked on the incorporation of the new City of Doral and was on Miami International Airport’s Noise Abatement Task Force. A member of Riviera Presbyterian church (PCUSA) in Miami, he served on Riviera’s Session, the Pastor Nominating Committee and the Investment Committee.

Christian will be remembered as a gentleman who was kind and gracious, who had integrity and a positive attitude; a person who naturally helped and mentored others. He exhibited these qualities throughout his life. ey were the essence of who Christian was and these qualities never left him, even through the last years, months and weeks of his eight-year journey with Alzheimer’s disease.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 11, 2025, 11:00 a.m. at the Springwater United Methodist Church, 8001 S. Main Street, Springwater, NY 14560. A reception will be held at the Mazzola home immediately following the service.

A second memorial service will take place in Miami, FL at a future date. In lieu of flowers, join us in making a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association in Christian’s name. Go to https://events.alz.org/event/alz-tributes/ home to locate Christian’s Tribute Page.

Sophia Kovatch

Dear Readers,

My name is Sophia Kovatch, and I’m the new writer for the Genesee Valley Penny Saver. I’m excited to join the Penny Saver as it works to expand the stories it brings you (thanks to your support!). Having mostly written for websites, I’ve always wanted to work for a publication with its own printing press, so that’s exciting too.

I’ve been writing professionally for over ten years, writing for all kinds of companies and publications. I’ve written for award-winning news outlets and nationally recognized brands, and I’ve spent far too many hours trying to outwit Google’s ranking algorithm. rough these experiences, I’ve learned that the more connected I am to the subjects of my stories and the people who read them, the more fun I have while writing. In joining the Penny Saver, I have a stronger connection than ever to my work, so I expect to have more fun writing than I ever have before.

In my free time, you can usually find me reading a stack of library books or looking for cool birds by Oatka Creek. I also spend time each week teaching storytelling at Adventures & Art in Caledonia and stewarding Akimbo Books on University Ave in Rochester.

You’ll start seeing my byline on more Hometown Stories in upcoming editions of the Penny Saver. I’ll also help bring new kinds of content for you to enjoy both in print and online. I’ve got some ideas, but I’d love to know what kinds of stories you want to read in the Penny Saver. Send in your story ideas to hometown@featuredmedia.com.

All my best, Sophia Kovatch

Eligard Injections Cause Man To Develop Breast Tissue

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been treated for prostate cancer and stopped my semiannual Eligard injections three years ago. I’m 75 years old and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. Before treatment, I weighed 227 pounds; I currently weigh 209 pounds. My testosterone level is 49.6 ng/dL. My breasts have become somewhat feminine.

My question is: Will they regain their normal appearance? I’m losing weight slowly, and I’m trying to build muscle with weights. -- Anon.

Q. A.

ANSWER: Gynecomastia is the growth of male breast tissue, specifically when not due to breast cancer. It can happen during puberty in healthy males, but it is a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Up to 75% of men treated with antiandrogen therapy like leuprolide (Lupron or Eligard) will develop breast tissue.

It isn’t likely that the breast tissue will go away on its own.For men who want treatment due to the appearance or tenderness of the breast tissue, there are radiation, medication and surgical treatments available. Radiation therapy is the most effective for men who develop breast tissue with androgen-depletion treatment.

Tamoxifen is the usual medical treatment, and you may ask the physician treating your prostate cancer about these choices. Men who can’t take or choose not to take either of these treatments can be referred for surgical treatment, which can be liposuction or a mastectomy.

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 74-year-old active male currently taking a daily 81-mg aspirin due to a periodic heart arrythmia. I have elective sinus surgery scheduled, requiring that I be under a general anesthetic for 90 minutes and that I be off aspirin for the two weeks preceding the procedure.

I’m beginning to have second thoughts about the surgery as I wonder if I’m risking a stroke. Would you please share your thoughts on this? Thank you. -- R.B.

A.ANSWER: Aspirin is used in some people with atrial fibrillation (the likely heart arrythmia you would be put on aspirin for) when they are at a low risk for a stroke.

There is a score called the CHA2DS2-VASc that is used to estimate risk. People at a higher risk are recommended anticoagulants such as apixaban (Eliquis). Since you are 74, you get at least one point for your age, and unless you have another risk factor that I don’t know about, you have an estimated risk of stroke without treatment of approximately 0.6% per year.

While it is true that being off aspirin for a period of time around a surgery increases your stroke risk, your risk is already so low that the absolute risk of being off aspirin for two weeks is quite small. You should always consider the risks of any surgery against the benefits, but the risk of stroke in your case is small compared to the risks anyone has with sinus surgery (such as bleeding or an infection).

I am a little surprised about it being two weeks; normally when a person comes off aspirin before surgery, it’s for five to seven days. Also, not all surgeons require aspirin to be stopped before sinus surgery.

Since your reason to be on aspirin is to prevent a stroke due to your arrythmia, and this risk appears to be very small, it may be that the surgeon determined the risk of stopping aspirin was so small. So, it wouldn’t be worth the possible increased risk of bleeding from the sinus surgery if you’re still taking aspirin.

If you haven’t talked to your regular doctor or cardiologist about this, I recommend doing so since I don’t have your full medical history.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Homeowners may associate mulch with springtime lawn and garden care, but mulching in fall can benefit a lawn as well. According to the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, mulch protects roots against extreme temperatures, and not just those associated with summer heat waves.

Mulch is often connected with its ability to help soil retain moisture during especially warm times of the year, when mulch promotes strong roots that can help lawns and plants survive periods of extreme heat. But when applied in the fall, mulch also inhibits freezing and thawing in winter, reducing the likelihood that plants will be injured.

The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had. But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling

Ode to Autumn

By Chey Miller

Weary Summer nods her head when Autumn comes to call.

“A few more weeks is all I ask, and then I’ll head down south.”

Summer packs her trappings — her floral scents and warmth — and gathers up her greenery, and flocks of birds, of course.

She shuffles off so slowly, casting tender backward glances.

“It’s hard to leave a place you love,” she sighs, while Autumn dances.

Autumn opens his carpet bag and shakes his clothing out. With cap of yellow, coat of gold and brown, gloves of orange, and boots of red he struts ‘round field and town.

All alone, he paints the scene with carefree, wild abandon: no hue’s too bold, no shade’s too bright, there’s no concern with clashing.

He dabs at first, then paints a swath, then flings whole bucketsful!

e hills and dales are glorious in Autumn’s peerless fashion.

One night he slyly sets aside for “Autumn’s Grand Finale.” We’re fast asleep when out he creeps and seeds the earth with glitter.

“Wake up!” he shouts, when Dawn peeks out and sets the clarions a-twitter.

“Look what I’ve done! Is this not grand? It’s beauty that I’m a er!”

e sun beams down and out we troop to marvel at the splendor.

en one chill eve he hears a knock and calls, already knowing, “Who’s there?”

“Guess who!” howls Winter, hoarily, “Good gracious, how it’s snowing!”

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

Yes, you can turn off the news

Changes Are Here!

By now, you should have received your Annual Notice of Change or a letter stating your plan is being eliminated. These updates can mean major differences in cost and coverage for 2026.

Several months ago I took a “short” break from watching the daily news -- except that break wasn’t so short after all when I extended it to over a month.

Then, wanting to continue with the peace that came from not being hooked into the daily news cycles and media hysteria, I set my phone to send me alerts with short blurbs about important news. I could quickly scan the few lines of the alert, catch up and be done with it. That’s worked well these past months.

Except it doesn’t keep people from calling me to ask if I’ve seen a certain piece of news or telling me to quickly turn on the television. The bigger the news, the more people who call.

I’ve advised more than one upset person to turn the television off and not turn it on again for an hour or two. After a serious event, news stations will continue to hash over the same initial information, even if they don’t know anything new. Nothing good can come from hearing the same bad news over and over.

There’s more to it than just keeping up with what’s going on. If you’re having trouble sleeping, if you’re stressed all the time, if you’re afraid or angry -- all these things can be a result of watching too much of the news.

If you have high blood pressure and a home monitor, keep track of it as a way to spot whether any spikes in your BP coincide with events you’ve watched on the news.

If you have a cellphone, there are several free news apps you can use that will alert you to events.

ROASTED BANANA COFFEE CAKE

Serves 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 tablespoon at room temperature for the pan

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 bananas

3/4 cup chopped pecans

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

11/2 cups unbleached all-purpose

flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan with the 1 tablespoon room temperature butteranddustwiththegranulated sugar and tip out any excess.

Place the bananas on a small rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then add the roasted bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.

With the mixer running on low speed, spoon in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the pecan topping. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

DID YOU KNOW?

Women spend considerably more time each day than men engaging in various household activities. According to the 2019 “American Time Use Survey” from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, women spend an average of 2.16 hours each day on household activities, while men spend an average of 1.39 hours on such pursuits. The survey identifies household activities as housework such as interior cleaning and laundry, but also other activities such as managing the household’s finances and preparing food. Women also spend roughly twice as much time as men caring for and helping household members. Such figures may reflect gender roles that date back several decades if not longer, even though family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.

Proceeds from the festival and the tractor auction will fund improvements at Mark Tubbs Memorial Park in Lima, where the festival takes place.

e Pumpkin Festival was first held in 2023, conceived by Steve Werner, who wanted to showcase the work of Lima’s farming community. Werner grew up on a vegetable farm in the Mendon/Rush area, and he felt Lima residents should know more about the work of their local farmers. He says, “I wanted to get people to know what it takes to grow something.”

He gathered a small committee to organize the first Pumpkin Festival, with contests for giant pumpkins and sunflowers and a handful of vendors and farm displays. Organizers weren’t sure how many visitors to expect but were overwhelmed when more than 1,000 showed up. In 2024, Werner’s committee doubled, the number of vendors tripled, and attendees quadrupled, with over 4,000 people visiting the festival.

e giant pumpkin and sunflower contests continue as the cornerstone of the festival, showcasing the efforts of local farmers. Last year’s winning giant pumpkin, grown by Frank Lavorato, weighed a whopping 1,367 pounds, and the tallest sunflower, grown by Jenny LaFlam, reached 12 feet.

As the festival has grown, so too have the contests, and organizers add more age categories to meet demand and interest. is year, kids 12 and under have their own giant pumpkin contest, and the corn-eating contest includes two age groups for kids and separates the adult competition for men and women. ere’s also a new contest this year for best carved or decorated pumpkin, with people’s choice awards for most creative, scariest, and funniest pumpkin. All contest winners receive cash prizes.

Werner’s goal for the festival has always been to strengthen the community, and his vision goes beyond creating a way for families and farmers to meet. Each year, the festival contributes its proceeds to funding improvements and upgrades at Mark Tubbs Memorial Park so the community may continue to enjoy the park year-round. Last year, the festival contributed $10,000 to the park. is year, the

is year, the Pumpkin Festival can support such large projects at the park thanks to the donation of an antique John Deere B tractor purchased in Honeoye Falls in 1950 andusedbylocalfarmerseversince.Attendeeswillbeableto bid on the tractor during a live auction at the festival hosted by local Lima auctioneer Blake Benson. e money raised from the tractor auction will go to park improvements.

In just two years, the Pumpkin Festival has grown more than Werner and his team expected. He says, “We’re excited about the growth and support from the Town of Lima and surrounding towns for this event. It’s grown even beyond my belief at this point.” As the festival continues to grow, Werner is committed to keeping it 100% family-friendly so all ages can enjoy affordable fall fun each year. No matter your age, it’s worth a trip to see the giant pumpkins and sunflowers during this agricultural celebration.

Huge ank You

A huge THANK YOU to the three shoppers who helped me after a fall in the store at the Dollar General in Livonia on Sunday. Also, thanks to the store manager for getting the bandages, etc. This is a wonderful community. Thanks again. I will always remember all of you.

Autumn in the Village

Thank you to all who donated Gifts, Gift Cards, or Gift Certificates to Autumn in the Village. Our day was a great success!

Post Office Praise

As I was sending out a birthday gift to a friend, another patron at the post office saved me a few bucks by sharing her gift wrapping to make sure a candle would not break in transport. We then shared a few stories of our loved ones who we were sending gifts to and connected over year-long Christmas trees! It was a special moment of human connection! Then at the window, I didn’t have my package taped shut, and the attendant was extremely patient, kind, and helpful as we got the package secure. Small town connections win!

Clothing Sizing Anoying

Why oh why can’t women’s clothing sizes be simpler?! When we need to try on absolutely every garment, even if we ‘usually’ are a certain size, different brands run different sizing and fit, and even within the same brand, depending on country of manufacture, the exact same listed size can be vastly different from another. It is so frustrating. Yes, first world problem, but it is a lifelong aggravation for sure.

Now that School is in Session

Since schools have started and the school bus comes roughly the same time plus/minus 5-10 minutes, act as responsible parents who are in charge of raising the next generation. Can you have your children out by the road when the bus gets there? Why does the bus need to sit there with the light flashing, honking the horn, and you come to the door in your night clothes acting surprised the bus is there to pick up your children? It used to be if you were not in sight the bus driver would slow down and if you didn’t want to be picked up, you would have to drive your children to school! Grow up; more is caught than is taught, have your children ready for the bus. THANKS to all the patient people who have to wait while you get your act together.

Join us for a fun and intimate program exploring the first published works of some of our favorite Baroque composers! We’ll be able to see the birth of new musical trends, as well as trace influences from earlier generations. Music of Castello, Corelli, Vivaldi, and more!

STRANGE BUT TRUE By

Lucie Winborne

* If you had to pick a “standard” pencil color, you’d probably think of a yellow-gold shade -- and that’s no accident. When pencils went into mass production in the 1890s, the finest available graphite fillings came from China. Manufacturers wanted everyone to know that they used only the best Chinese graphite, so they painted their pencils yellow, the traditional color of Chinese royalty.

Turkey Roulade with Cranberry Chutney

Serves 6

1 sheet puff pastry

1 pound turkey meat from turkey breast and/or thigh meat, cut into 1-inch chunks

3 eggs

1⁄2 cup chicken stock

1⁄4 cup Marsala

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for the pastry

1⁄2 cup celery sliced on diagonal 1⁄2 cup sliced button mushrooms

1⁄2 cup Cranberry Chutney, plus more for serving Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish

1. Following the instructions on the package, thaw the puff pastry. This will take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of pastry. You should be able to unfold it without it breaking. Set aside.

2. Pulse the turkey in a food processor until it is the consistency of ground beef. Add 2 of the eggs, the chicken stock, the Marsala, and the butter. Pulse again briefly, until just combined.

3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is a 12- or 13-inch square. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pastry on top.

4. Form the minced turkey mixture into a log and position it down the center of the prepared puff pastry. Make an indentation down the length of the turkey and place the celery, mushrooms, and cranberry chutney along the indentation. Cover the indentation with the meat, forming a log once again.

5. Wrap the puff pastry around the turkey, neatly folding the ends and top together, rolling or tucking the edges together, and pinching to seal any gaps. Make the pastrycovered log as round as possible, like a Yule log — try to avoid a flattened version, like a strudel.

6. Preheat the oven to 450 F.

7. Combine the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl or cup. Stir well until completely mixed. Brush the roulade with the egg wash, being careful to brush every bit of the exposed pastry.

8. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 F, then reduce the heat to 375 F. Continue to bake for 30 to 45 minutes longer, until the pastry has risen and is a toasty, golden color and the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 165 F. Generally speaking, once the pastry has cooked, the meat will be cooked, too. Remove the roulade from the oven. Transfer it to a serving platter, using the parchment paper to help you. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes.

9. Slice and serve, garnishing with theparsleyandservedwithabowl of extra cranberry chutney.

LIVONIA FIRE DEPARTMENT STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP WITH OUR EMERGENCY!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO ASSISTED THEIR CHILDREN WITH THIS LIFE SAVING DRILL LAST YEAR! BUT WE STILL NEED THOSE WHO HAVE NOT PRACTICED WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO PLEASE DO SO THIS YEAR!

WILL YOUR KIDS KNOW WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A FIRE IN THEIR HOME DURING SLEEPING HOURS? NOT IF THEY DON’T PRACTICE

E.D.I.T.H. stands for “Exit Drills In e Home”

Every October the Livonia Fire Department sponsors a HOME FIRE DRILL. is year’s drill will be on October 8th, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. We are once again asking all residents of the Livonia Central School District and all local Fire Districts to please participate in this LIFE SAVING DRILL. All area fire sirens will blow at 6:00 p.m. on this date to signal the start of the drill.

Livonia’s Past Chief Dave Peck states “Every year we hear about families which are seriously injured or killed in a fire because they didn’t have an escape plan which they practiced.” Don’t let this be you! ere are still too many residents who think it can’t happen to them. IT CAN!

You should be prepared by practicing how to get your family out of your home if a fire should occur. If you care about your family you will:

1. Have at least one working smoke detector on each level of your home. Use it as your signal to begin your drill.

2. Test emergency exits. Make sure you and your children can open windows and remove screens and storm windows from inside.

3. Have folding ladders available for second floor escape.

4. Practice using emergency exits in the dark. Keep a flashlight next to every bed.

5. Teach each family member to roll out of bed, crawl to the bedroom door, feel the door to see if it is hot, and stay low in smoke to avoid toxic gases. Crawl quickly to your safest exit.

6. Don’t forget to designate a meeting place for your whole family once outside the residence. Make sure everyone knows to get out quickly and go to the meeting place.

7. Never go back inside a smoke filled building for any reason! Once you are out, STAY OUT.

8. In a real emergency, go to your neighbor’s house and call 911.

Please assist your children with Operation E.D.I.T.H. IT MAY SAVE THEIR LIFE!

Parrotlets do not scream. ParrotSecrets.com says that parrotlets frequently learn to talk, but with patience. A parrotlet has around a 300-word threshold, according to the pet resource PetKeen.

IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES

Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

A Talking Cat?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever I’m having a conversation with my friends or talking to my mom, our cat “Jasper” stands right in the middle of our group and meows. If we stop talking, he stops meowing. What’s going on? Is my cat trying to talk? -- Victoria L., Canton, Massachusetts

DEAR VICTORIA: Sort of! Although it’s probably because Jasper sees a bunch of humans gathered together, all of whom have thumbs and can therefore open a bag of treats for him.

Cats vocalize with humans more than they do with other cats. Much more. Researchers (and owners) have figured out that they meow at us a lot because it prompts us to give them food,treats and snuggles -- even though we have a harder time understanding cats’ meows than other animal noises. They’re very perceptive, these housecats, with not much to distract them from observing us all the time (especially since so many of us work from home these days).

They’ve figured out our daily schedule better than we have. I have a cat who hops on my lap and starts head-butting my smartphone exactly at bedtime. He gets his little snack, and I get eight proper hours of sleep. And if I get home late? Oh, the silent treatment I receive. It’s the complete opposite of meowing, and just as manipulative.

Like you, I’d like to think that Jasper is just trying to get in on the excited conversation going on all around him. That could be the case. It could also be Jasper’s realization that big gatherings of humans usually involve food ... and if he stays underfoot, some of that deliciousness will come his way.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Set reasonable goals. Much of the difficulty men and women experience in regard to finding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commitments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for projects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should discuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home, parents should avoid taking on too many projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families.
