President Steve Harrison

Instead of giving away unwanted items that have gathered dust around the house, many people turn to garage and yard sales to transform their clutter into some extra money. Yard sales may not be a “get rich quick” scheme, but they present an environmentally friendly way to clean up a home.

What’s more, they can be an ideal way to connect with neighbors and meet new people. Any money earned is an added bonus.

Statistics collecting resource Statistics Brain says that roughly 165,000 yard/garage sales take place in the United States each week. Nearly 700,000 people purchase something at those sales, leading to millions of dollars exchanging hands.

One of the benefits to becoming a skilled do-it-yourselfer is the chance to embrace projects that can breathe new life into objects that others might designate for the trash or donation pile. Renovating such items can save money and provide an entirely different purpose for the object.

After upgrading design styles or moving, there’s a good chance the average homeowner has a spare dresser or chest of drawers he or she may no longer use. Repurposing such furniture can make for an enjoyable weekend DIY project.

With a change of color, removal of drawers or a few minor modifications, dressers can be transformed in many different ways. Before discarding an old dresser, think of all the ways it can be transformed into another useful piece of furniture.

HOW TO SPOT MOLD IN YOUR HOME Learn what mold looks like. Not all molds are black. Some are white and look like thread, but they also can have a gray-brown or gray-green tint. When peeling old wallpaper, some people may notice orange, pink or purple growth on the newly exposed walls, and that’s likely mold.

Safety goggles and glasses are a must-have for any do-it-yourselfer. They will provide a barrier between the eye and flying debris. According to VisionWeb, an eye education resource, most of the 110,000 eye injuries that occur each year in homes within the United States result from splashes with household cleaners, flying debris such as wood chips, or getting hit by branches. Many of these injuries can be prevented by wearing eye protection.

Though most breast cancer survivors don’t get cancer again, the American Cancer Society notes that they are at higher risk for getting some types of cancer. According to the ACS, the most common second cancer in breast cancer survivors is another breast cancer. That only underscores the importance of continuing to get screened even after successful treatment. In addition to a second breast cancer, breast cancer survivors have a greater risk of developing salivary gland cancer, cancer of the esophagus, stomach cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. The risk for thyroid cancer, sarcoma, melanoma of the skin, and acute myeloid leukemia also is greater after successful treatment for cancer.

According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER Decreasing the length of time a woman’s breast tissue is exposed to estrogen may help prevent breast cancer. Exposure to estrogen is reduced in the following ways: • Early pregnancy: Estrogen levels are lower during pregnancy. Women who have a full-term pregnancy before age 20 have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who have not had children or who give birth to their first child after age 35.

• Breast-feeding: Estrogen levels may remain lower while a woman is breast-feeding. Women who breastfed have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who have had children but did not breastfeed.

OTHER I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I’d see the summer garden in rainbow clouds. ~Robert Bridges, “Testament of Beauty”

PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM WINTER’S FREEZE Plumbing Plumbing and pipes may be vulnerable to cold weather. Frozen pipes may burst and cause substantial damage to a home, potentially causing flooding and structural damage.

Homeowners should disconnect and drain garden hoses before winter arrives. Water to outdoor hose bibs should be turned off, though the valves on these outdoor faucets should be left open to drain. Also, outdoor faucets can be covered with insulating foam covers.

The Red Cross says pipes that freeze most frequently include pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, attics, garages, and crawl spaces.

Close vents to the outside in areas like attics and basements to limit the amount of cold air that gets indoors. Think about insulating unheated areas, as well as using pipe sleeves, heat tape or wraps on exposed pipes.

By opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, homeowners can allow warm air from a home to reach pipes under the sink. During extreme freezes, keep cold water dripping from a sink to prevent pipes from freezing.

Thruway Failure

SPONSORED BY

r e t h g i r B Thank You

On September 31st, a small group of classmates were dining at the Redwood in Naples when a kind person paid our entire tab. It was such a kind and generous thing to do, we all greatly appreciated it. There are not many members of our class left and this get together means so much to us. We will always remember your kindness to us; what a great generation you are! Thank you, this memory means so much to us.

Community Yard Sale Benefit I would like to thank Kristi for organizing a Yard Sale benefit for my daughter Kate’s dental work. I would also like to acknowledge everyone who donated items for the sale, those that baked and donated items and, most especially, the community for stopping and supporting the sale. Kristi raised a significant amount of money for us to apply towards the dental bill and we will forever be grateful. Please know that we will pay it forward somehow.

Thank You

To the person who found my check in the Walmart parking lot and returned it to the bank, I cannot thank you enough. You were my angel that day and I appreciate it more than you will ever know. There are still good people in this world.

When are we going to admit the Thruway billings by mail is a complete failure! I have had it with billings that are months late, late fees automatically added because the state is late, and the $2 processing fees that are an added tax. It was better when we were paying cash at the booths. When the Thruway was built in the 1950s it was completed and “grandfathered” in time to have tolls before the moratorium, and the public was told there would be tolls only until it was paid for. The Thruway takes in hundreds of millions of dollars every year only to be mixed in with other wasteful spending the state does. We never needed the rest stops to be torn down and re-built; someone in Albany got really rich from doing that. This is NY. It’s all corrupt. It never had to be this way.

Bicyclists I am a cyclist myself, but I am constantly put off by the reckless behavior of some riders, including E-bikers. Bicycle riders must obey all NYS vehicle and traffic laws. This means riding with traffic (not against) and please no riding on sidewalks! This is an accident waiting to happen. Thank you for your caution and courtesy.

HOW TO KEEP DOGS SAFE AND CONTENT Spay or neuter the dog. Various animal health experts attest to the benefits of having dogs spayed and neutered. These can include limiting aggression, reducing the need to roam and helping to prevent fights with other animals. Also, spaying and neutering helps keep animal numbers under control.

Molly Hucklebee

By Sam Mazotta

“May this fall bring you a harvest of happiness. Filled with pumpkin spice, warm cozy sweaters, fun gatherings and the beauty of changing leaves.

Enjoy every moment of this wonderful season. Happy fall!”

My Cat has become a picky eater DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Jonesy” is 11 years old and has suddenly become a very picky eater. He is barely touching his dry kibble, and he will only eat canned pate or fresh chicken, shredded very fine. Is this something to be concerned about? -- Martha Y., Tallahassee, Florida DEAR MARTHA: Sudden, unexplained changes in a cat’s behavior -- especially around food -- often signal a change in their health. Call the veterinarian and describe your cat’s symptoms; the vet will likely ask you to bring Jonesy in for a look.

One possible cause is a dental infection. After age 4, more than half of cats begin to experience some degree of dental problems, like gingivitis, tooth infections and tooth resorption. Symptoms of dental disease include bad breath, excessive drooling, blood-tinged saliva, pawing at the face, dropping food from the mouth, lack of appetite and several more -- all requiring a visit to the vet.

Your cat’s vet will give him a complete physical exam to determine if something else is causing his lack of appetite, and will take a close look at his teeth. X-rays may be ordered to determine the extent of the problem.

“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it all into words is all that is necessary. ”

If Jonesy’s issue is an infection, antibiotics will be prescribed. If a tooth is involved, the vet will probably recommend pulling it; this is done under anesthesia, and will provide so much relief to your cat.

Once your cat has recovered, the vet will likely set up a toothbrushing routine -- a finger brush and flavored toothpaste made just for cats work best. They may recommend a dry cat food that helps fight plaque buildup. There are many more preventive treatments available for pets today than in the past, so ask your vet how you can keep Jonesy happy and healthy through his senior years.

RUNNING WITHOUT FEAR:

261 Fearless Empowers Rochester Women Through Movement and Connection

BY SUZIE WELLS

When Kathrine Switzer became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in 1967, she did more than defy race rules. She redefined what courage looks like. After a furious official tried to drag her from the course, Switzer decided to keep running, calling it her “fearless moment.”

Wearing bib number 261, she finished the race and began a movement that continues to empower women worldwide.

Decades later, Switzer and fellow runner Edith Zuschmann founded 261 Fearless Inc., a global nonprofit that encourages women to discover their own fearless moments through running, education, and connection. The organization now has clubs on five continents.

In 2019, that mission found a local home in the 261 Fearless Club Greater New York–Rochester, founded by Lori Fox, a retired speech-language pathologist, and two other coaches who have since moved on. Fox says, “For me, running isn’t just exercise – it’s a way of seeing the world differently and feeling more alive. 261 Fearless is about daring to step outside your comfort zone, embracing new challenges, and discovering strength you didn’t know you had. It’s about building friendships that connect you not only to your local community but to women around the world.”

L TO R LORI FOX, JANET MCCARTEN, HILLARY BOBYS !UP HIGH", AND ANNETTE GRAPE

“Many women may not consider a running club with the belief of ‘I can’t run.’ I would like to tell them to take a chance with us. They have nothing to lose!”

JANET MCCARTEN GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

From the start, Fox envisioned a club where women could experience the joy of movement without pressure. A non-competitive, non-judgmental, inclusive running club, 261 Fearless welcomes all women, no matter their background, experience, or pace. Fox says, “We knew our group would fill an important niche in the Rochester community, creating a space where women can move, grow, and support one another.”

Running has long been Fox’s personal anchor, and she says, “It keeps me grounded – nurturing both my physical health and my mental well-being. Some days, running is my quiet time, a chance to be alone with my thoughts. Other days, it’s about connection, sharing the miles with friends.”

That sense of connection runs deep within the Rochester chapter. The club’s weekly “Meet-Runs” at the Pittsford Community Center combine warm-ups, games, and group runs with laughter and encouragement. For many members, the experience is transformative.

Both Fox and McCarten emphasize safety as a core value, particularly after reports this summer of local women feeling unsafe running alone. Fox says, “When you run with us, you’ll never run alone – our coaches and members always stay together and look out for one another.” McCarten adds, “There is safety in numbers. 261 Fearless affords the opportunity to go out as a group and feel secure. We watch out for each other.”

Members say that support makes all the difference. Laurie K. shares that joining the club helped her feel at home after a move: “Everyone is so positive and happy at the run meets.

Even though I have been a runner for over 30 years, there is always something new to learn and practice.”

For longtime member Marylyn S., the sense of belonging keeps her coming back, saying, “Our 261 group is made of a group of unique women – we’re bonded, support each other, helpful, and trustworthy. No one is left behind or made to feel unwanted. Every time I leave a meet, I feel so good about myself!”

261 FEARLESS GNY COACHES L TO R LORI FOX, JANET MCCARTEN, ANNETTE GRAPE, HILLARY BOBYS

Janet McCarten, who retired from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Center of Excellence for Suicide Prevention, joined the club in 2019 just months before the pandemic hit. She says, “A few months after I joined, my work schedule changed from being on-site full-time to working remotely from home. All of my daily social interactions from the workday were suddenly gone. It was wonderful to meet up with a group of women to talk, laugh, run, and have fun.”

At 261 Fearless, every stride represents more than fitness. It’s a step toward confidence, community, and courage. As Fox puts it, “Running is a gift – not only for your physical health, but for your mental well-being too. With 261 Fearless, you’ll be warmly welcomed into a supportive group where you just might meet your new best friend.”

Weekly Meet-Runs take place Wednesdays at 6 p.m. at the Pittsford Community Center. Learn more on FB at 261FearlessRochester or IG: @261_fearless_club_gny.

For McCarten, 261 Fearless means “friendships, fitness, movement, exercise, outdoors, fun, and positive vibes.” She later became a club coach and now helps lead the group’s creative warm-ups and activities, including playing tag, using hula hoops, or balancing a beanbag on their heads.

The fun activities get the women moving, then they go out for about a 30-minute run and end with some cooldown exercises. McCarten says, “There is something to being outside and enjoying nature than can help you see the world in a better light.”

She encourages hesitant runners to simply take that first step, but says, “Kathrine Switzer has a saying – ‘All you need is the courage to believe in yourself and put one foot in front of the other.’ Many women may not consider a running club with the belief of ‘I can’t run.’ I would like to tell them to take a chance with us. They have nothing to lose!”

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Weight Loss Isn’t the Cause Behind Odd Globus Sensation

Q. A.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and immediately changed my diet and exercise regimen. I was able to lose 17 pounds in about two months but have started to experience a feeling of something being stuck in my throat. Could the sudden weight loss have brought this on? I was sent to get an ultrasound on my thyroid, and it came back negative. -- V.J. ANSWER: A sensation of something stuck in the throat is common in clinical practice and can have many causes. It is referred to as a “globus” sensation. An ultrasound is a very reasonable test as a large thyroid mass (goiter) can cause a mechanical effect on the esophagus, which then leads to this sensation. Similarly, abnormalities in the esophagus, oropharynx and larynx may also lead to this sensation. Most experts recommend an evaluation with an endoscopy and a laryngoscopy for people with a persistent globus sensation.

Unintentional weight loss is a red flag in people with a globus sensation because if the cause behind the globus sensation is also leading people to lose weight, this means that it is more likely to be something serious. But this is not the case with you, so I can’t think of how losing weight could have been the cause behind your globus sensation.

If the sensation of something in your throat continues, I recommend further evaluation by an ENT physician.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My in-laws are being evaluated for infertility, and my brother-in-law has a varicocele. They say that he needs an operation. Is this necessary in order for them to have children? -- C.F. ANSWER: A varicocele is a common enlargement of the veins in the male scrotum. There is some evidence that a large varicocele could reduce fertility in men. However, the repair of a varicocele is usually indicated for fertility only when both the varicocele is large and the man has an abnormal semen analysis.

The benefit in fertility is thought to be small; it is estimated that 17 men need to be operated on to produce one pregnancy, so there’s roughly a 6% chance that the operation will help the couple conceive.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have high liver enzymes and bilirubin, most likely due to Gilbert syndrome. I’ve had elevated numbers since at least 2006 when I started to track them. I was recently prescribed a low-dose statin after receiving a slightly elevated coronary calcium score (49).

The statin did great at lowering my cholesterol but seriously elevated my AST and ALT numbers. (My AST and ALT levels were 12 and 20 U/L respectively before treatment, then 41 and 32 U/L while on the statin. Normal is less than 35 U/L.) So, I discontinued its use. Are there any options other than statins to help reduce cholesterol? -- S.M. ANSWER: Gilbert syndrome is a relatively common liver condition caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism. People with this condition can get recurrent jaundice and high bilirubin levels.

Statin drugs are generally considered to be safe in people with Gilbert syndrome.

Many people (with and without Gilbert’s) will have elevations in their liver enzymes (ALT and AST levels) due to statin drugs. Most authorities recommend reducing the dose or stopping the statin treatment if the liver enzymes go over three times the upper limit of normal -- above about 100 U/L -- which yours didn’t get close to.

Q. A.

TYPED WITH RING FINGERS AND PINKIES

Since the risk to your liver from a statin is small, and the benefit of a statin in a person with even modest coronary calcium is relatively large, there is more benefit than harm for most people in your situation. __________ Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Each volunteer should be dressed and acting according to the theme. A mix of stationary decorations with creepy people moving about can really set a haunted house apart.

By Douglas W Williams somer-saulters and tumblers bright lemon and brown loop-de-loopers and flyers pumpkin spice floating down

HALLOWEEN AND TRICK-OR-TREATING Come October, people across the United States and various other countries participate in a tradition that has been around for some time. Trick-or-treating, which involves costumed children going door-to-door in the neighborhood asking for candy, is a staple of fall. While the exact origins of Halloween and trick-or-treating are hard to pin down, historians believe that Halloween came from a holiday known as Samhain, which ancient Brits and Celts once celebrated in recognition of the onset of winter. During Samhain, revelers believed that the world of the gods and ghosts was open and that these beings played tricks on the mortals. In turn, mortals lit bonfires and wore costumes so they would be unrecognizable to the ghosts. Unlike the lighthearted activities of today’s Halloween, ritualistic sacrifices and other more sinister events also took place 2,000 years ago on Samhain. Once Christianity took root in formally Celtic locales, the tide of Samhain celebrations turned and a focus was placed on celebrating the holy and dead in more meaningful ways on All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2). In fact, Halloween, which comes from All Hallows Eve (hallow meaning “holy”), offered an opportunity to come together and pray, dress in costumes of hallowed saints and evil spirits, and act out the battles of good versus evil. Poor individuals also were known to travel to the homes of more fortunate individuals and receive pastries known as “soul cakes” in exchange for a promise to pray for that homeowner’s deceased relatives. The tradition of “souling” eventually gave way to trick-or-treating. History.com says it is unknown when the term “trick-or-treat” came into the vernacular. However, the phrase has at least been in use since 1951, when the popular “Peanuts” comics published a Halloween edition. The title “Trick or Treat” also was used on a Disney cartoon featuring Donald Duck in 1952.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Food Recalls

Stop in anytime from 9am-2pm Perinton Community Center • 1350 Turk Hill Rd., Fairport

9am • Estate Planning 10am • Scams Prevention 11am • FHS String Ensemble Noon • The Oasis Tappers

It’s impossible to say exactly what’s going on, but lately there are problems with our food supply, one after the other. Listeria and salmonella are at the top of the list.

Listeria shows up in water, waste and the soil and ends up in our meat, fresh produce and dairy products.

GIVEAWAYS & RAFFLES

Some say the rising number of cases of listeria are because we’re eager to grab ready-to-eat foods like deli meats. Others point to better detection methods that find listeria during inspections.

One big concern, however, is that cold doesn’t kill listeria. Even if it’s stored in the cold (or even frozen), it doesn’t die.

ENTERTAINMENT

Information from over 40 programs Blood Pressure Screenings and more!

When it comes to salmonella, expert fingers want to point to climate change because warm temperatures help salmonella grow. But there is also the problem of large farming facilities where a single sick animal can infect the rest.

Did You Know?

If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiffness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50.

But no matter the reason for the increases and their sources, we seniors need to be especially careful. A bad case of listeria or salmonella can put us in the hospital.

What can we do to avoid problems with food contamination?

MAGIC MAZE Answers E V E NA n E s Xw C e H r A s N G E GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

With salmonella, wash your fruit and vegetables. Cook foods to the correct temperature, especially eggs, meat and poultry.

Invest in a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature in the refrigerator.

Listeria is tougher. Unfortunately, hygiene is part of the problem.

The contamination can start at the location where the food is produced -- and spread around the deli counter if slicers aren’t washed correctly. Once we have that lunch meat at home, we need to heat it to a high enough temperature. Which means it’s not safe to just grab a few slices of cold lunch meat to make a sandwich.

Besides being cautious, pay attention to food recalls. You can sign up for email alerts at www.FoodSafety.gov, www.recalls.gov, www. fda.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.
