LESS STRESSFUL THANKSGIVING TRAVEL

Arrive early. Arrive at the airport as early as you can, ideally 2 to 3 hours before your flight. This enables you to check in bags and get to the gate. Should you have to make changes to seats at the gate or take care of any other necessities, you’ll have peace of mind that being late won’t hamper those plans.

pet place

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

What’s the best age to spay or neuter a dog?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: When should I get my purebred puppy spayed? “Macy” is a rambunctious, 6-month-old Bernese, and I’m getting conflicting information from friends and my vet. My friends say that she should go through one or two heat cycles before I get her fixed.The vet wants it done right away. Who’s right? -- Carol H., via email

DEAR CAROL: Oh, wow. This is quite a topic of conversation in my pet circles, as I’m sure it is with your fellow pet owners. I don’t think anyone is going to be super happy with my answer, because I’m not going to give you a definitive age at which puppies should be spayed or neutered. Instead, I’m going to punt this to the American Kennel Club (AKC), which has a great article on why recommended ages differ: www. akc.org/expert-advice/vets-corner/neutering-spaying-rightage-dog.

With that said, I commend you on making the decision to spay your puppy. Among owners of purebred dogs, deciding if and when to “fix” them is sometimes a tough choice. However, if an owner does not intend to breed their dog (responsibly, of course), spaying or neutering can curb some undesired behaviors and prevent some health problems.

If you decide to spay Macy after her first or second heat, wait until the heat cycle has completed before undergoing the procedure. This will reduce the possibility of excessive bleeding. Also, keep her under your control during her heat cycle -- indoors unless you’re walking her. When you take her for walks, stay next to her and keep her on a strong leash. It will amaze you how many dogs become intensely interested in Macy as you pass by. Keep your distance from all of them during this period.

Parking Lot ank You

Thank you to the kind woman that noticed that I was in distress trying to find my vehicle in the Geneseo Walmart parking lot the other day. She watched me search with no success and offered to drive me up and down the aisles until we found it. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I am so grateful.

Wonderful Volunteers

Ambassadors like you at the Brockport Welcome Center on the Erie Canal are the backbone of our organization and your generosity means the world to the people we serve. Brockport is so grateful to have you, our volunteers, as part of our team and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Wonderful Poem

I thoroughly enjoyed Douglas W. Williams’ poem “Leaves” that was published in the October 24 issue of the Penny Saver. It is playful and creative and perfectly captures the spirit of this beautiful time of year in upstate New York.

House Nunmbers & Lighting

As a delivery person--often at night-- I see a great need for better lighting and placement of visible house/apartment numbers! PLEASE, for your own safety and that of others, put an easily visible address number on your house. It could be lifesaving if emergency folks are called. If you expect a delivery of food, you would want it delivered promptly and in the correct location. Do not blame the service if your house or apartment lacks a number. When several lack numbers even a flashlight does not help.

Also, PLEASE provide better lighting; there are many lowcost options for entrances & inner foyers. If you expect delivery of a good hot meal, make sure your dwelling has adequate lighting! Paths with bikes, ladders, toys, etc. in the dark do not help. We do all we can to ensure prompt & satisfactory delivery. Please consider taking your part in keeping deliveries safer with visible address numbers and helpful lighting. Thank you!

Restaurant Nickel and Diming

My wife and I and another couple went out to eat on Saturday night. The food was great and the bill with tip was not bad. The only bad spot was they charged us $3.50 for another helping of bread. With their prices for dinner, why do restaurants always nickel and dime you? We will not be back. Breakfast restaurants have extra charges too (if you want raisins with your oatmeal, they charge 25¢ more for the meal). Why for such little extras?

PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER

Old batteries should be replaced before winter begins. Without a strong, properly functioning battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and five years. However, extreme cold can compromise batteries, especially those that have been around awhile. Batteries are made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery performance. According to AAA’s Automotive Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses 35 percent of its strength.

Newer batteries can be protected by starting the vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you cannot take an extended drive.

HOW TO ROAD TRIP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR

Determine the charging time of your vehicle: The automotive experts at J.D. Power note that EVs come with different types of charging systems. Level 1 are the most readily available EVs, and these come with a standard 120-volt three prong plug that’s common in modern homes in the United States. That’s convenient, but charging using a Level 1 outlet may take a significant amount of time and only provide a few miles per hour of charging. If you’re renting an EV, confirm which type of car you’re getting and emphasize to the rental agency that you prefer a car that can be charged easily and effectively. One that can be charged overnight and provide hundreds of miles of driving time after a full charge is ideal.

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.

MOMENTS IN TIME

The History Channel

* On Nov. 28, 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. Six months later, Anne gives birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins.

* On Nov. 27, 1868, Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer leads an early-morning attack on a band of Cheyenne in Oklahoma. Custer did not attempt to identify the group of Cheyenne, or to make even a cursory reconnaissance. Had he done so, he would have discovered that they were peaceful people and the village was on reservation soil.

* On Nov. 26, 1922, in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists become the first souls to enter King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years. Inside were several thousand priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the mummy of the teenage king.

AIRLINE LINGO

Research shows that when we give to others, we also contribute to our own happiness, health and well-being. Scientists have identified something known as the “helper’s high” to describe the positive emotions that follow acts of helpfulness toward others. Research also associates improved health and longevity with this psychological state, according to the National Library of Medicine.

No act of kindness is too small. e gi of kindness may start as a small ripple that over time can turn into a tidal wave affecting the lives of many.

-

Kevin Heath, CEO of More4Kids

Similar to the ripples that result from a pebble being dropped into water, studies show that our words and actions also have a “ripple effect” that can be either positive or negative. So why not create a ripple effect of kindness, helpfulness and happiness?

Small tokens of appreciation during the holiday season can help mailmen, teachers, hairdressers, and others know they’re appreciated.

ADULT COLORING CONTEST

The holiday season is a special time of year to give thanks and spend time with loved ones. While the holidays are an inherently happy time, that joyful mood can be marred by the crooks who like to take advantage of people’s generosity, as well as their propensity to pay less attention to their surroundings as they do during less hectic times of year.

Instances of certain crimes, particularly theft and identity theft, increase around the holiday season. Allstate Insurance advises that break-ins in residential areas may increase during the holiday season as well. That’s because thieves know that many homes are empty or cars are full of highpriced presents.

Put the focus back on good cheer, delicious food, celebrations and gifting - protect yourself and your property this holiday season.

CHRISTMAS TREE GUIDE CHRISTMAS TREE GUIDE

Balsam fir is a beautiful pyramidal tree with short, flat, long-lasting, aromatic needles. Balsam fir and Fraser fir have many similar characteristics and some botanists consider them extensions of the same species. Their geographic ranges do not overlap and the Balsam fir has to have cold winters and cool summers. Balsam fir has a nice, dark green color and very fragrant. The tree was named for the balsam or resin found in blisters on bark and which was used to treat wounds in Civil War.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* The blue whale is earth’s largest living creature, surpassing even most dinosaurs. Not only can it reach over 100 feet in length and weigh more than 100 tons, but its heart can tip the scale at 1,300 pounds and is the size of a small car, while its arteries are big enough for a full-grown human to swim through -- not that we recommend you go for a swim and attempt it.

* In 2007, Iran claimed 14 squirrels found near the nation’s borders were actually spies.

* The record for most times being hit by a baseball pitch -- a whopping 287 -- belongs to Hughie Jennings, who finally got smart and retired in 1918.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

It Finds You

A red thread, Woven by the fates, Invisible yet unyielding, Twisting and stretching through time, To bind hearts destined to meet.

rough countless realities, In every lifetime, It finds you —

A love unbroken, Woven by the fates, Set in motion by the universe, It finds you —

Whether their hands are rough or gentle, eir voice so or heavy, eir love defiant, Refusing to fit in, e world’s narrow box

You may not see it, May not recognize them at first — But you will know.

In time, e red thread tightens, Drawing you home

StateCrossingLines: StateCrossingLines:

“What Iowa did for us made it more exciting not only for us who were in charge of the float, but also for parade watchers!”
PEYTON CAUFIELD CO PRESIDENT OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS

HOW HOLLEY FRESHMEN FORGED AN UNEXPECTED BOND WITH IOWA

Each year, Holley Middle/High School’s Homecoming celebrations culminate with a PTSA-sponsored, themed parade that awards points for the coveted spirit stick. When this year’s theme of “States” was announced, the freshmen class chose Iowa, never imagining it would spark a heartwarming interstate collaboration.

Freshman class adviser Samantha Zelent and volunteer co-adviser Jessica Seaward knew the state would hit close to home due to the Holley community’s farming connections. On a whim, they reached out to a few Iowa-based agencies to see if they might contribute materials for the float. e response was overwhelming.

Numerous Iowa organizations and affiliates including the Iowa Tourism Office, Iowa State Fair, Iowa State University, Historic Hills Scenic Byway, Iowa Department of Transportation, and the governor’s office sent donations, ideas, and encouragement for the Class of 2029. News of the float spread quickly throughout the state, and soon packages filled with Iowa-themed goodies began arriving from organizations the school hadn’t even contacted.

“Every day for about a week straight, a package arrived from Iowa,” said Paula Barrus, the attendance clerk who accepts all packages at the front desk. “ e excitement was contagious and gave us a smile every day. It really was exciting to see what the class got and how nice everyone in Iowa was to help out.”

Students embraced the opportunity, hoping to represent everything people love about Iowa, including emulating the Davis County Future Farmers Association’s sculpture “Hog Wild” as the centerpiece for their float.

Mason McGuire, Holley High School class treasurer, said, “My favorite part of the float was building it with everyone. It felt like the whole state of Iowa was cheering us on, and it made me happy. People didn’t understand why we picked Iowa, but it turned out to be the most fun float we’ve worked on because of the teamwork between the Class of 2029 and Iowa.”

“I loved our hay pig,” said Logan Lane, a freshman class member. “We actually got that idea from an email from Iowa’s Historic Hills Scenic Byway Trail. I think Iowa is a pretty cool state for everything they did for us.” anks to the students’ hard work, the float was visually impressive and it was also interactive. Parade watchers received bags filled with stickers, keychains, and other fun items, thanks to the generosity of Iowa contributors.

“What Iowa did for us made it more exciting not only for us who were in charge of the float, but also for parade watchers,” said Peyton Caufield, co-president of the freshman class. “I think because of all that the individuals of Iowa did to support us, this float will always be special.” e support from Iowa extended beyond material donations. Zelent said, “We were overwhelmed by the support from Iowa, especially the governor’s office, who sent us items including a signed photo wishing us a happy homecoming. Students loved the help from Iowa and had so much fun with the float. We have been a part of their Facebook page, and they made us honorary members of the Historic Hills Scenic Byway’s Annual Bale Trail. Now, Iowa has a whole group of fans from the Holley Central School District’s freshman class!”

“It was truly outstanding, the amount of information and items that were mailed to us,” Seaward said. “We were getting emails and packages every day. ese kids will always remember this float and their amazing partnership.”

is was an unexpected alliance that not only boosted school spirit but created lasting connections between communities hundreds of miles apart, proving that sometimes, the most meaningful collaborations begin with a simple idea and a little curiosity.

DatafromtheUnitedStatesDepartment of Justice indicates that partner violence accounted for 20 percent of all violent crime in the U.S. in 2018. The World Health Organization defines intimate partner violence as behavior within an intimate relationship that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm. Such violence can include acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse, and controlling behaviors. Violence perpetrated by both current and former spouses and partners falls under the umbrella of intimate partner violence. Domestic violence is so prevalent that the National Network to End Domestic Violence reports that it fields more than 19,000 calls on a typical day. Anyone who is a victim of domestic violence or suspects a loved one or acquaintance is being abused is urged to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-7873224 (TTY) right away.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the American Osteopathic Association, one in five teenagers will now experience some form of hearing loss. That rate is roughly 30 percent higher than it was 20 years ago.Though various factors have contributed to that increase, the AOA notes that many experts believe an increased use of headphones among teenagers is partly to blame. Listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can lead to lifelong hearing loss for children and teens. Parents can encourage children and teenagers to listen to music at reasonable levels when using their headphones,and one effective way to control volume without sacrificing sound is to use over-the-ear headphones instead of earbuds. The Cleveland Clinic notes that over-theear headphones are generally more effective than earbuds at cancelling outside noise. That allows over-the-ear headphone users to listen to music at lower volumes, which can significantly reduce their risk for noise-induced hearing loss.

EASY ‘GREEN’ THANKSGIVING IDEAS

Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies.

The United States Department of Agriculture projects that Americans will throw away more than 200 million pounds of edible turkey meat this Thanksgiving holiday. And Thanksgiving typically ushers in a period of wastefulness, as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says American households produce roughly 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than during the rest of the year.

Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions.

HomeCare & Hospice Foundation Provides Comfort Beyond Care

When Kevin H., an Allegany County resident and hospice patient, recognized he needed more than just care, HomeCare & Hospice Foundation was there to help.

Nestled on the side of a hill in Wellsville, in a home his father built himself, Kevin spends his time playing video games with online friends, using his virtual reality headset, and spending time with family which includes his cat, Beatrice.

A er receiving a diagnosis of melanoma and learning treatment was no longer an option, Buffalo’s Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center referred Kevin to local hospice services.

“I was amazed at how quickly the process moved,” Kevin says. “ e next day I had a hospital bed and all the supplies I needed.” In addition to the bed, he received a shower chair, walker, and bandages, which Kevin was previously handling himself and said were becoming expensive.

Since starting hospice at the beginning of September, Kevin says he feels better and looks forward to visits from social workers and nurses. Hospice staff assists with his medications and provided a pill minder, so he remembers to take his medicine daily, something he previously struggled with.

When asked if there was anything else he needed, Kevin realized there was – a freezer for his ice cream, which he said is the only thing his stomach agrees with these days. Hospice social workers Lauren Idzik and Hanna Nunn immediately went to work to get a freezer for Kevin.

HomeCare & Hospice Foundation takes pride in providing compassionate care for their patients, not just for medical needs but for things that can help make the end-of-life journey easier. e HomeCare & Hospice Foundation quickly approved the purchase of a freezer for Kevin.

“It made my day to see Lauren and Hanna bring the freezer in and gave us a lot of laughs,” Kevin says.

Despite his diagnosis, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family and the activities he loves while receiving care and support from hospice. Most recently he traveled to Arizona with his brother, father, and uncle, exploring the state and making trips to the Grand Canyon and to Las Vegas.

What’s next for Kevin? He’s planning a trip to Johnstown, PA with his mother and continuing to enjoy the simple joys in his day-to-day life, such as hiding the ATV from his dad, enjoying his mom’s cookies, family time, and, of course, peanut butter cup ice cream.

HomeCare & Hospice: Compassionate Care Close to Home

For more than five decades, HomeCare & Hospice has provided comfort, dignity, and compassionate medical support to individuals and families across Western New York. Serving Allegany, Cattaraugus, Genesee, and Wyoming counties–and portions of surrounding areas–the organization has become a trusted source of home-based health and hospice care since its founding in 1971.

e story began when a group of community members recognized the need for an alternative to nursing home placement for dependent elderly residents. eir vision led to the creation of Olean Homemaker Services, offering in-home support to help people remain safely in familiar surroundings. As community needs grew, the organization hired its first registered nurse in 1979 and, a decade later, expanded its reach and became Home Health Care of Southwestern New York.

In 1990, with approval from the state and support from a grant, the agency established the Comstock Hospice Care Network, leading to the admission of its first hospice patients in early 1992. In March 2000,HospiceFamilyCareinBataviaandWyoming Area Homemaker Service in Warsaw merged with the agency, creating the unified HomeCare & Hospice that serves the region today.

HomeCare & Hospice’s mission is rooted in providing medical care, emotional support, and comfort for patients coping with life-limiting illnesses–and for the families who walk beside them. A dedicated team of registered nurses, social workers, hospice aides, spiritual care providers, and volunteers work together to manage pain and symptoms, answer questions, and bring peace of mind during challenging times. eir care extends beyond the patient, offering counseling, respite, and education to loved ones and caregivers.

Hospice services may begin when a physician determines that a patient’s life expectancy is six months or less, and care continues as long as it is needed. Patients and families are encouraged to start conversations about hospice early, o en finding that the support, understanding, and companionship it provides make all the difference.

rough every visit, every conversation, and every act of compassion, HomeCare & Hospice continues its original mission: helping people live with comfort, dignity, and the support of a caring community–wherever they call home.

Anyone can make the first call to hospice. If you or someone you know may benefit from HomeCare & Hospice services, please call 716-372-5735, email referral@homecare-hospice.org, or visit homecare-hospice.org.

Pain Persists Around Puncture Site After Medical Procedure

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Nine days ago, I had a medical procedure under general anesthesia. One of the lines was put in the artery in my left wrist. Aside from deep bruising that went halfway up my forearm, it seems that there is some nerve damage. I have constant pain from my thumb, through my wrist, and up to about 3 inches on my arm. Overnight, the pain becomes intense and radiates all the way up to my shoulder.

Tylenol and an arthritis sleeve only provide minimum relief. Should I request to see a neurologist, or is there another type of doctor to seek out for a diagnosis? This has become life-altering, and I’m hoping it will eventually be healed. -- B.F.

A.

ANSWER: I suspect that the bruising on your forearm was caused by bleeding from the puncture site of the artery in your wrist. (This type of line is used to measure blood pressure accurately and instantaneously.) The hematoma (blood collection) inside the wrist might be compressing the median nerve in your carpal tunnel, which causes a neuropathy very much like carpal tunnel syndrome.

If I am right, then the condition should improve as your body absorbs the blood, which takes pressure off the nerve. However, there are case reports of permanent damage to the nerve from complications of an arterial puncture. In general, if the nerve compression is serious enough to cause weakness, it needs to be acted upon urgently.

The doctors who performed your procedure need to know about this complication, and a neurologist is exactly the right person to see. A simple nerve test could confirm my suspicion or disprove it by finding a different cause if your symptoms persist.

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an active 60-year-old who took a soccer ball to the groin some time back.After a few months, I noticed a change in my sexual organ. Narrowing and bending of my organ developed, and it seems to be getting worse.

My general doctor seems to think it’s Peyronie’s disease. After researching this, I started taking vitamin E and COq10 supplements. I scheduled a urologist exam but was hoping for some insight on this. -- G.

A.

ANSWER: I suspect your general doctor is correct, and an evaluation by a urologist is certainly indicated. Peyronie’s disease is often triggered by trauma in a person who is genetically susceptible to the condition. (Your trauma was very clear, but it isn’t always clear in everyone what the trauma might have been.)

The diagnosis is made by an examination showing a bend in the penis, along with plaque that can be felt during an examination in most cases. Some men, but not all, will have pain.

In men who are in the active phase of the disease (where the curvature is getting worse), urologists will often prescribe pentoxifylline for three to six months in hopes of stabilizing the condition and preventing the curve from worsening.

Vitamin E was not found to be superior to a placebo treatment. CoQ10 was found to have a benefit in a small trial, and since it is very safe, this was a reasonable treatment for you to try.

Depending on your symptoms and degree of curvature, there are several options for treatment. Medication can be injected directly into the penis; men treated with this were found to have about a 34% improvement in curvature. Traction therapy is also frequently used.

In men with more severe disease that does not respond to the previous options,surgical treatment can be considered. This should be done in men whose sexual function is affected by the disease and in cases where medical treatments have failed to improve their symptoms adequately.

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

DID YOU KNOW?

Broadening one’s horizons through crafting can be a worthwhile pursuit. Crafting can serve as a relaxing pastime and provide an opportunity to learn rewarding skills. Learning to crochet is one way for men and women to combine creativity and practicality. Crochet is a form of handwork using yarn and a crochet hook. According to the Crochet Guild of America, there’s no way to know just how old the art of crochet is. However, crochet expert Annie Potter has said the modern form of the art originated in the 16th century, primarily in France and England. Others surmise crocheting traces its origins to Arabia before it spread westward through various Mediterranean trade routes.

y do we turn down help?

All too frequently we seniors don’t ask for help when we need it, using as an excuse that others need it more. Sound familiar?

Our local senior center decided to host a free holiday dinner a few weeks before Christmas this year. It was to be a full turkey dinner, with several courses, a sit-down affair with table service from the Community Club at the high school.They needed to limit it to 100 people, and advance signup was required. Color them amazed when a full week after the announcement, there were still well over 50 dinner slots available.

Staff starting manning the phones,calling senior center members to ask if they’d heard about the dinner.Yes, people had heard.Yes, it sounded lovely. But no, they wouldn’t be signing up for it. Other people, many stated, needed the free dinner more.

This did not surprise me. After all the times I’ve talked to seniors around me about how it was OK for them to go to the food bank, that it was OK to ask for help -- no, I wasn’t shocked that many were turning down a free holiday dinner at the senior center.

Does this describe you? Someone who would turn down free things, saying that others might need it more?

There’s more to it when we decline help, other reasons, if we’re going to be honest with ourselves. Mostly we fear loss of independence. Somehow we equate getting help at the food bank -- or a free turkey dinner -- with not being able to take care of ourselves, thus possibly inviting scrutiny from others who might start questioning our ability to manage our lives.

I was not surprised when the senior center changed their promotion for the free dinner to say they would welcome donations, and the rest of the slots filled up.
