HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Couples who travel for their weddings and employ local vendors will not have to pack as much. Using local vendors eliminates the need to bring along bulky dresses, decorative items, flowers, and much more. Plus, couples needn’t pay to transport and house vendors brought along from back home.

Is my cat going blind?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 12-year-old cat, “Gaston,” may be losing his vision. He used to jump on high objects easily; now he avoids jumping up or down. He loved chasing his laser light; now he just huddles down and seems to ignore it. At night, he meows loudly until I let him into my bedroom, where he insists on curling up with me. I have an appointment with the veterinarian for next week, but can his vision loss be reversed? -- Jeanne in Evanston, Illinois
DEAR JEANNE: I’m very glad that you’re taking Gaston to see the vet. With suspected vision loss, it’s very important to get your cat tested to determine how severe it is and the underlying cause.
Blindness in cats can be gradual or sudden, and there are many conditions that can cause it. Age, infection and common eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts or retinal detachment are all in play here.
Can Gaston’s vision loss be reversed? That really depends on what the vet finds. I can say that the sooner a problem is diagnosed, the better the chances of treatment to reverse or at least halt vision loss.
Cats whose blindness is progressive or irreversible can adapt. Those who develop it gradually tend to adapt better, while those whose vision loss is sudden may experience more anxiety and be less prone to adapt.
You can support your vision-impaired cat by keeping them indoors (if they must go out, create a fenced-in area of your yard for them). Avoid moving furniture too often. And don’t coddle your cat by carrying them around. Let them explore and adapt -- their resilience will surprise you.

Veteran appreciates generosity
I was wearing a ball cap which identified me as a veteran, and dining with my wife on 10/29 at Applebee’s in Geneseo. You can imagine my surprise when our waitress said, to thank you for your service, your dinner has been paid for by an anonymous person. This kind gesture meant so much to me. Wow, I hope that person knows how much I appreciated this thoughtfulness and generosity. It was a moment I will not soon forget. I am so thankful for this reminder that goodness in the world still exists and will find ways to spread my thanks as I pass it on.
You made my day!
I’m so grateful to the man with the braids and car full of grandsons. Thank you for making my day!
What is going on lately with so very many lost cats and dogs? It seems like every day there are notices of lost or missing cats and dogs. I’m sad for the animals and owners who are heartbroken. The other side of that is the sad amount of cats found wandering in back yards, mewing at people’s door steps, and lost dogs wandering on roads at all hours. There is info online to help pet owners understand about securing their homes, windows, and yards and providing an excellent safe pet home. Learning about a cat, dog, or any pet, is essential and understanding that by saying ‘Don’t go out’ or ‘No’ doesn’t do it. Sometimes loud noises, strangers, poorly socialized pets, getting ‘stuck’ someplace, or being just plain fearful can make an animal look for safety and escape, not knowing of course what the ‘big world’ out there is. While humane societies offer so many enticing adoptions, people should not get a pet ‘on a whim’ but rather study pet care. Let’s all keep our pets safe and happy at home. www.featuredmedia.com

Dangerous Roadways
Stop signs are not optional. The lines on the road are not there to just look pretty. After stopping at a stop sign when turning left, if you find yourself in the oncoming lane of traffic, you’re doing it wrong. Speed limits. If you can’t at least do the posted speed limit, please pull over and let the forever growing line of traffic go by you. We all make mistakes. If you pull out in front of someone, get going or pull over. Common courtesy needs to make a comeback!

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.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Social Security Increase for 2026
The news is in,a week late this year due to the current government shutdown: The expected increase in Social Security benefits will be 2.8% for 2026.
For the average monthly benefit of $2,015, that equates to an increase of $56, up to $2,071 for 2026 for a single person. For a couple, the $88 increase will net a $3,028 monthly benefit for 2026.
The actual Social Security increase will be less, however, because, as is typical, the Part B cost has gone up. A $21.50 increase will bring the monthly cost up to $206.50, and that comes out of the Social Security benefit.
The COLA (cost of living adjustment) is calculated every year by the price index from third quarter 2024 to third quarter 2025. Once again they’ve used the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which many think is the wrong index. (How many of us are clerical workers?) To be more accurate, the Social Security increase should be calculated by the Consumer Price Index for Elderly People (CPI-E), as that has the costs and expenses more in line with where seniors spend money.
Meanwhile, Medicare open enrollment will be in effect until Dec. 7.You still have time to look over your options and see if you need to make some changes. For example, are you taking different drugs? Visiting your doctor more now? Then there is your current plan -- has the cost changed or any of the benefits you get?
You can review plans in your area at Medicare.gov/plan-compare.
Remember, scammers are everywhere and would love to have your Social Security information. They’ll approach in person, via mail, on the internet or over the phone. Don’t give out your personal information!
If you suspect fraud, you can make a report at oig.ssa.gov/report or call the Inspector General’s Fraud Hotline at 800-269-0271.
Preplanning a funeral may not be something to look forward to, but doing so can protect families and provide men and women with some peace of mind.

November is Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Hospice is care providing support to patients facing terminal illness while palliative care focuses on relieving symptoms of serious illness, whether curable or not. Comfort care homes are two-bed, independently-operated hospice homes, and Rochester is credited as having the first such homes in the US. What experience have you had with comfort care homes?
- I’ve volunteered at a comfort care home
- A family member or friend received care at one
- I’ve donated to or participated in a fundraiser for a comfort care home
- I’ve visited a comfort care home, but haven’t been directly involved
- I’ve heard of comfort care homes, but don’t know much about them

Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

Managing Cholesterol and Stubborn Skin Conditions
DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you wrote about reducing cholesterol levels with the help of statins along with a PCSK9i, such as Repatha or Praluent. My question is: Are these PCSK9is at all beneficial if one cannot take statins? -- D.C.S.
STATISTICS ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
One in 12 Canadians are diagnosed with MS every day
Need Medicare Help?
ANSWER: Yes, PCSK9 inhibitors are very effective at lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart attacks in high-risk people. Because these drugs are given by injection and are quite expensive, they are not usually the first-line treatments. We have decades of experience using statins, so they remain the first choice for most.
However, if a person cannot take a statin, or one of the alternatives such as bempedoic acid, then PCSK9i drugs are a very reasonable choice. In people with familial high cholesterol and extraordinarily high levels of cholesterol, combination therapy with two or three drugs (a statin, a PCSK9i and sometimes ezetimibe) is frequently used.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My adult daughter (62) was diagnosed about three years ago with a skin disorder called prurigo nodularis. Her dermatologist has tried three different injections, but they’re not working. She still gets very itchy breakouts. Please give me your thoughts and more information about this. -- K.M.A.
Q. A. A.
ANSWER: Prurigo nodularis is an uncommon disease that affects about one person per 1,000. I have seen a handful of cases, and fortunately the cases I’ve seen have responded well to potent steroid creams.
Regular use of skin lotions,avoiding scratching especially at night (I recommend cotton gloves), and sometimes antihistamines like Benadryl are also the firstline therapies.
If a patient needs more effective treatment and only has a limited area of itching, then a dermatologist will often inject the area with a high-potency steroid. Since it sounds like this hasn’t been successful for your daughter, there are other options.
One is a topical cream called ruxolitinib. About 45% of people responded to this treatment, compared to 20% who responded to a cream without an active drug. Ultraviolet light (narrowband ultraviolet B) showed about 80% effectiveness. For people in whom none of these therapies work, a very expensive injection treatment, dupilumab (Dupixent) or a similar drug called nemolizumab (Nemluvio), can be used, although the response rate is not as good as desired (roughly 40%).
Since many people with prurigo nodularis have other skin diseases, and some may have (or develop) depression or obsessive skin-picking, these conditions may also need to be treated to successfully improve symptoms.
Personal attention is everything, which is why I’ll work with you to help answer your Medicare questions. Let me help you become fluent in Medicare and together we’ll find a plan that fits your needs.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.

DON’T keep purchases in view of potential thieves. Resist putting presents under the tree until the night before Christmas. Hide large product boxes so they’re not visible in the trash or recycling pickups, where thieves might look to see what’s inside the house.
