Winter Driving Tips • Keep your tires ‘aired up’: For every 10 degree Fahrenheit change in outside tem perature, your tire’s inflation pressure w ill change by about 1 pound per square inch (psi).

Im properly inflated tires can lead to poor traction, decreased control and skidding.

• Slow ly accelerate and decelerate: Applying engine pow er slow ly to accelerate is the best m ethod for regaining traction and avoiding skids. Don’t try to get m oving in a hurry, and take extra care and tim e to-slow dow n w hen stopping.

• Invest in a set of dedicated w inter tires for your vehicle: Winter tires are specifically designed to provide im proved traction in cold, snow y and icy conditions. Whether your vehicle is front, rear or all-w heel drive, w inter tires can offer an additional elem ent of perform ance to get you through those tricky w inter driving m onths.

To our customers, family, and friends:

• Check your tread to beat the snow : Worn or insufficient tread can cause skidding during the w inter season, so it is im portant to m ake sure your tires are ready for the w inter conditions before hitting the road. A quick w ay to do this is to check your tires’ tread depth indicators. Tread depth indicators are sm all raised bars that run in-betw een a tire’s tread blocks. When a tire’s tread is w orn dow n to these indicator bars, it’s tim e to change to a new set of tires.

WAYS TO ENJOY MORE DAIRY

1.5 (8oz) packages Cream Cheese - softened 1/3 Cup Crunchy or Creamy Peanut Butter 1/2 Cup Confectioners Sugar 1 Tblspn Milk 1 - 9" prepared Chocolate or Graham Cracker crust (I prefer the Graham Cracker for this recipe myself) 1/2 Cup Strawberry Preserves 2 Cups Whipped Topping (Cool Whip Style it works better for this recipe than real Whipped Cream)

Top off meals. Fruit salads, oatmeal or even a baked potato can be enhanced with low-fat yogurt instead of other fat-heavy or sugary toppings like whipped or sour creams.

In a large bowl (A Kitchen Aide works best or a hand mixer if you have instead) combine the cream cheese,and peanut butter. Mix well until blended. Add the sugar and milk and mix well until smooth.

Spoon mixture into pie crust, spread out and chill 4 hours or so, or overnight if you can wait that long.

Spread the top with the strawberry preserves and top with the whipped topping.

Garnish with chopped peanuts (Regular or dry roasted) if you like.

This is very rich!! Start with a thinner slice and have 2 if you can handle it!

The Christmas Tree

By MPV Our Christmas tree stands straight and tall Like the life that I hope I can lead Its branches so thick and surrounding it all Just like family and friends that I need We wrapped it in lights from its head to its toe So to give it a softening glow They remind me of people who brightened my life I was blessed with and lucky to know The tinsel was next and it spiraled the tree So perfectly done by my wife I sat there amazed at the difference it made Stirring me to reflect on my life So many ornaments left to be hung A collection made over the years Each one representing a moment in time Made of laughter and some made of tears Last was the one that we placed on the top Shining down like a light from above Representing the star from that first Christmas night And the season of giving and love

FIRE SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN HOLIDAY DECORATING Ask an electrician to inspect your exterior outlets and circuits. Ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent electric shocks and reduce the risk of electrical fires. Most areas now require new homes be built exclusively with GFCIs, which are recognizable because they feature two buttons between the outlets. But older homes may not be equipped with GFCIs, particularly with exterior outlets. GFCI installation is not an especially expensive job, so homeowners should ask an electrician to inspect their interior and exterior outlets and replace non-GFCIs with GFCIs.

THE SOARING SPIRIT OF DANSVILLE:

INSIDE THE FINGER LAKES SOARING CLUB B Y S O P H I A KO VAT C H

The Finger Lakes Soaring Club (FLSC) makes its home in a hangar in the Dansville Airport, but it launches gliders and attracts soaring enthusiasts from all over Western New York. Soaring entails engineless glider planes that are towed up to at least 2,000 feet by a small-engine plane and released to navigate the air currents. Experienced glider pilots can fly for hundreds of miles and stay in the air for two to four hours from a single tow.

Cy Kastner is one of those experienced pilots. He’s been a member of FLSC for about 25 years, ever since he first tried his hand at flying a glider. Since he’s licensed to fly powered planes, he often flies the small towplanes that get a glider up to soaring height. Kastner is one of 30 club members who volunteer their time to operate the group’s five gliders and two powered towplanes. The club, which has been in Dansville since 1963, offers recreational rides to the public on weekends in fair weather months and also accepts new members interested in learning to fly for the first time.

“It’s poetry in flight,” Kastner says of soaring. “It’s an experience you will never have doing anything else, even if you’re a pilot.” He describes rising on a thermal column in the glider and seeing a bald eagle flying with him off his wingtip, the complete opposite of many people’s assumption that a plane without an engine would feel more like a sled or a roller coaster. “The [gliders] themselves are elegant and

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

beautiful,” he says. “You’re surrounded by glass. It’s not like you’re in an airplane at all.” He says that with no engine, the only sound as you soar is the wind around you.

Kastner calls soaring “the best kept secret in aviation,” but the club’s volunteer members do a lot to make soaring more familiar to the community in which they take off and land. They regularly show off gliders at local schools and community events, such as the annual air show at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, where they also tow for a pilot who does aerobatics in an engineless plane.

Every other year, the Finger Lakes Soaring Club hosts a regional competition as part of the Soaring Society of America, which oversees the sport in the United States. (In off years, the regional competition is held at Elmira’s Harris Hill Soaring.) During the weeklong competition, around 40 gliders from all over New York descend on Dansville. Pilots set off every day to fly to different locations around western New York, with speed, distance, and other data recorded by an onboard device. When pilots return, flight data is analyzed to award points to competitors, with a winner each day and one for the entire week. To host the competition, the club must be able to launch every competitor within one hour, which means they tow and launch about one plane per minute every morning.

“You’re surrounded by glass. It’s not like you’re in an airplane at all.”

CY KASTNER

Soaring is one of the easiest and most affordable ways for the curious to learn to fly, especially compared to powered planes.

At the Finger Lakes Soaring Club, flight instructors volunteer their time, so students only pay club dues and tow fees. All told, a private pilot license for gliders ends up a fraction of the cost of a license for a powered plane. One can start learning to fly a glider as young as 10 or 12 (as long as you can reach the controls, Kastner says) and glider pilots can fly solo as young as 14. The club has a dedicated Junior group with about eight members currently learning to soar.

Kastner says soaring isn’t just an easy way to learn to fly. It’s also one of the best ways to really learn how aviation works.

He says, “You really learn on the fly with a glider. And not just us. In the Air Force Academy, this is the first thing they learn

to fly.” He says soaring requires you to be far more aware of the airplane and your connection to it, likening it to putting on an article of clothing rather than climbing into a machine, saying, “You really get a sense for an airplane on a glider.”

The Soaring Club offers recreational rides, weather permitting, and accepts new members who are interested in learning to fly. The only requirements are paying dues and participating in the volunteer operation of the club. Those curious about soaring can take 15-minute flights from the Dansville airport for the cost of tow services. Rides take place from about March to November, weather permitting.

Thank you to everyone who donates to local food pantries. Your generosity and community spirit is appreciated now more than ever. Please also consider donating dog and cat food as hungry families also often have hungry pets. If the food pantry in your area doesn't accept pet food, please donate it to Lollypop Farm in Fairport or Rochester Animal Services downtown. Both have pet food pantries that help families continue to care for and keep their pets.

Thank you!

TIPS FOR NEGOTIATING WITH CONTRACTORS Do your homework. Getting the best price typically require shopping around and not settling on the first bid. Experts recommend getting at least three estimates on the same job - and be sure to let each contractor know that you are soliciting multiple bids. This alone may entice a specific contractor to give you his or her best offer up front. Avoid simply choosing the lowest bid. Look at quality of work, reputation and reviews. If you like a costly contractor more than another, see if that contractor is willing to match a lower bid to win the job.

THE BENEFITS OF CARPETING Carpeting insulates rooms in the summer and winter, adding that extra level of protection against the elements. Carpeting also absorbs sound in a home. Many appreciate the warmth and cozy feeling of carpet, especially when stepping out of bed. Carpeting also can increase the level of safety at home. According to the Carpet and Rug Institute, carpeting makes areas of play safer and may also reduce the severity of an injury in the event of a fall.

CROSSWORD

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Lynch Syndrome Patient Is Unsure Whether To Stop Colonoscopy

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 79-year-old female who is currently on biannual infusions for osteoporosis and high cholesterol. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome with an MSH6 deviation. The genetic testing was done after I had breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and a colectomy for three years in a row. Yearly colonoscopies have been included in my preventive care.

In 2022, during my colonoscopy, I experienced excessive vagal tone and needed atropine to restore my heart beat. Since this time, I have been given Robinul prior to the procedure, which has prevented another incident of bradycardia. My gastroenterologist isn’t recommending any more colonoscopies due to this cardiac issue and my age.

I have always been told that colonoscopies are necessary to prevent cancerous polyps from occurring. Is the risk of a colonoscopy under these circumstances greater than the risk of my getting colon cancer due to Lynch syndrome? -- F.M. ANSWER: People with Lynch syndrome are at an increased risk for a variety of cancers, especially of the colon but also other parts of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small intestine, pancreas and bile duct). People with Lynch syndrome are also at an increased risk for endometrial and ovarian cancer (in women), prostate cancer (in men), and other cancers including skin and brain cancer. Gastroenterologists know that cancer of the colon can arise without a polyp.

A.

For people with Lynch syndrome, a genetic analysis is recommended.

The exact gene may help determine the optimal beginning time and frequency of a colonoscopy. The decision of when to discontinue screening via a colonoscopy is not agreed upon by experts, but clearly when the risk of performing a colonoscopy is greater than the expected benefit, it’s time to stop. This is less about reaching a certain age than it is about underlying medical conditions.

You have a slow heart rate during sedation for the colonoscopy, and it sounds as though your doctors have found a way to do the colonoscopy safely. Your lifetime risk of colon cancer, given your MSH carrier status, is estimated to be 20%, but at age 79, you have outlived much of your risk.

Most cases of colon cancer in Lynch syndrome occur before age 80.

In my opinion, both the risks of a colonoscopy and the risk of developing colon cancer are low, which means that it is difficult to make a recommendation as to which way you should go. Stopping is reasonable, but if you feel strongly that you want to continue, this is also reasonable.

This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper.

HOCUS-FOCUS BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

AI-assisted scams against seniors It’s not that scammers are getting smarter, but they have a new tool now: AI, artificial intelligence. For our own protection, we need to learn about AI and how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

If you’ve posted any pictures on social media, take them down.

Make it your task for January to remove any photos you’ve put up, especially if -- heaven forbid -- there are snaps of your children and grandchildren.

If you routinely attach photos in emails to friends and family, and if they tend to post those on their own social media, ask them to remove the pictures. If they don’t comply, stop sending them photos. I know, that’s harsh. But you have to protect yourself and those dear to you.

Photos are the tip of the iceberg, however. Consider what scammers can do with innocent information about a vacation you took. They can personalize their scam against you and pretend to have met you on that trip. If you’ve posted the names of family members, or even the name of your dog, they can pretend to actually know you. It will sound so innocent if they then ask for your home address or the correct spelling of your name so they can send you a souvenir.

It gets worse: Scammers can clone voice samples they find online. If you’ve posted a video of a teen grandchild, scammers can convert that into a fake video call wherein the child appears to be upset and asks for help, which is another version of the grandparent scam.

One of the best sites I’ve found to learn about AI scams is McAfee’s Guide to Deepfake Scams and AI Voice Spoofing at www.mcafee. com/learn/a-guide-to-deepfake-scams-and-ai-voice-spoofing.

Also go online and search for “how scammers use AI against seniors.”

Level: Advanced

If you suspect you’ve been a victim of fraud, report it to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

Depending on the sport, leagues might be available to adults of various ages and skill levels, and some may even be more focused on fun than competition.

For athletes who can no longer lace up their cleats, coaching youth sports or volunteering to coach at a nearby school provides a chance to stay involved even if competing is no longer possible.

PIGS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK Pigs are valued not just for their meat, but for their brains. Studies have shown pigs can use mirrors, solve puzzles, and even learn basic commands on par with dogs. If you’ve ever raised one, you know they’re curious, vocal, and full of personality. And yes, they love a good belly rub.

Ruby & Dean Ruby and Dean are 10-month-old Scottish Fold cats who are excited for their first Christmas. While they are already spoiled, they are hoping Santa brings them more springs to play with because they hide them so well no one can find them. When they aren’t playing, they are either snuggling up with their human sisters or “keeping watch” in their tower.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CAT REPRODUCTION While there is still some debate among veterinarians as to the best age at which to spay or neuter cats, the general consensus seems to be the earlier the better, particularly if cats have access to other cats that are not fixed. This can occur as early as age six to eight weeks, while standard spays and neuters occur at five to six months of age. Vets who advocate for spaying before the first heat say it nearly eliminates the risk of mammary cancer, and spayed cats will not develop ovarian and uterine cancers, according to PetMD.

Help your pets have a very merry and safe -Christmas DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This is the first Christmas for my puppy “Max,” who is 5 months old. My mom always has a lot of activities and decorates the house all over, and I’m worried that Max will eat decorations or food. How can I keep him safe? -- Jayde S., Brooklyn DEAR JAYDE: Excellent job keeping Max’s safety first and foremost in your mind! The holidays can be a perilous time for curious puppies. Here are a few ways to maximize his safety while celebrating.

Talk to your family. Sit down with them and explain that decorations, food and treats need to be placed out of your dog’s reach.

Reinforce basic obedience skills. Work with Max on recall commands and behavioral training.

Stay on schedule. The holidays are super busy, but it is important to keep Max on his regular daily schedule of walks, feeding and training.

Store dog food and treats securely. The pantry often sits open during holiday preparations. Make sure Max can’t get into his dog food and overeat, causing serious complications like bloat.

Create a “safe room” for Max during holiday events. Parties, dinners and the fun of unwrapping gifts can all overstimulate a young dog. During the height of festivities, place Max in a quiet room with his favorite toys and bedding. When the wrapping paper is cleaned up, bring Max out to greet everyone.

Note behavioral patterns for later. Keep an eye on how Max behaves during this strange, exciting time of year. Is he reactive toward strangers or shiny, unfamiliar things? Do you have a difficult time getting him to obey commands? Resolve to work with Max on these issues after the holidays.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * A Paris morgue needed help identifying bodies in the 1860s, so decided to open its doors to the public. They probably underestimated people’s morbid curiosity, though, as soon 40,000 people a day were coming to look at corpses.

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.

Applications and a list of basic responsibilities may be obtained at the

Geneseo Clerk’s Office 4630 Millennium Drive, Geneseo, NY 14454 From 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. Or may be obtained by calling the Town Office at (585) 991-5000.

Completed applications must be received at the Geneseo Town Clerk’s Office by 4:30pm on Friday, January 2, 2026 EOE

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family.

Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasn’t. Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process.
