OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SENIORS
polltime
Current research across the nation and world dive into the impact and future of generative AI models. How do you think generative AI influences society today?
- Enhances creativity and artistic expression
- Transforms the job market and workforce dynamics
- Improves efficiency in industries
- Raises ethical concerns about misinformation and deepfakes
- Redefines education and learning methods
- Increases accessibility to technology and knowledge
- Poses risks to privacy and data security
Fishing: Of course not all outdoor activities need to make seniors huff and puff.Fishing provides a great reason to get outdoors,and many individuals devoted to fishing report feeling less stressed after a day spent casting for their favorite fish. Individuals who consume what they catch also can benefit by improving their diets, as the American Heart Association notes that consuming certain types of fish has been linked to a lower risk for heart disease and obesity.
- Has little to no significant impact

ank You Teachers
Yay Rebecca Yuhas in the Hometown Stories columnnew Master Teacher out of Newark. Our teachers often are under- or un-recognized, so it’s great to hear about teachers developing their skills and learning more and more about their craft so our children can learn from the best. Thank you, all teachers, for all you do for and with our students. Thank you for helping develop the minds of the next generation. We need you and we appreciate you!
To the young man who snowplowed our driveway today, thank you so much. You will never know how your act of kindness touched me. My husband has difficulty walking and our snowblower froze up this past week. My son and I shoveled the driveway three times this week but it didn’t stop either my husband or myself, or the Amazon driver from getting stuck in it. My husband has a doctor’s appointment this week and I’ve been worrying all weekend about getting stuck in the driveway. Your random act of kindness meant so very much. God bless you!

Not Salted To A-Salted
Perhaps you should hibernate at home all winter. NYS DOT (and I assume other departments) have a preset amount of salt to apply based on road conditions. Many go to shift work in the winter to cut down on overtime. Many towns have central locations for salt storage (do you also complain when you pass multiple school busses at the end of the school day?).
Remember, wet roads freeze as the temperature drops to 32F and below, creating black ice. The wind drifts snow across roads. Both require continued maintenance after the snow has quit falling to prevent accidents. If you want to take your vent to mother nature and request snow and ice falling only certain hours and days that would be awesome.
Thank you everyone who slows down for the snowplows!
It has been said our volunteer fire department has only one driver qualified to drive the biggest, most expensive truck they had to have and no one can answer a call until that person arrives to drive. That’s an irresponsible use of our tax money.

Is my rabbit depressed?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I took over the care of a rabbit named “Chucky” a few weeks ago, after the previous owner, my aunt, passed away. Since he got here, Chucky has spent most of his days inside his hutch. When I try to take him out, he huddles tightly against the far wall. I don’t see him eat or drink during the day, but he does come out at night after I go to bed. Is he depressed, or is it something else? -- Jim F., Chula Vista, California
DEAR JIM: Chucky does sound pretty stressed out, and depression is definitely on the table here. He also may be having trouble adjusting to his new environment, and is missing your aunt, too. A stressed and unhappy rabbit is tense, staying in a down position with their ears flattened against their body. Their nose doesn’t twitch. They don’t hop around the cage freely, and they’ll hide away if you reach for them.
The first thing to do is establish care, if you haven’t done so already. Take Chucky to a veterinarian specializing in small animals (including rabbits) for a checkup, explain the circumstances, and detail his behaviors. The vet will rule out any underlying health conditions and can give you a wealth of advice on helping him be more comfortable and easing his transition to a new owner.
It’s important to be supportive and not force interaction at this time. Keep Chucky’s cage clean and fresh, change his water and food daily, and provide him with rabbit toys and chews strewn around the cage that he can explore. Talk to him in a soothing voice while you are near his cage. As he adjusts, he will gradually respond and feel comfortable with you.

Rapid heart rate persists for a decade without evaluation
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 75-year-old woman who, for at least 10 years now, has been experiencing a rapid heart rate. My blood pressure, however, remains normal. In fact, doctors are usually surprised at how good my blood pressure is since I am borderline obese and slightly diabetic.
During this past physical, my doctor did mention my rapid heart rate but didn’t recommend treatment or referral to a cardiologist. Should I insist on a referral to a cardiologist, or would this only bring me to more unnecessary testing? -- M.R.
ANSWER: I unfortunately hear about people (more commonly women) having a potentially serious medical condition that gets ignored for many years, and I fear this is the case with you.
In a person with a persistently fast heart rate (over 100 bpm), an electrocardiogram (EKG) is an essential first step. I suspect you may have had this done, but if you haven’t, this clearly needs to be done. Atrial fibrillation and some less-common heart rhythms need to be excluded.
It’s likely that you have “sinus tachycardia,” meaning that the impulse comes from the sinus node but is persistently too fast. The heart rate is supposed to be fast if you are exercising, and a fast pulse can often come on as a response to an infection or a loss of fluids. But I think that, after 10 years, you most likely have a condition called inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST).
Since you are writing to me, I assume that this is bothering you. Most people with IST note palpitations, but loss of endurance and decreased exercise tolerance are other common symptoms. Before getting treated, it’s important to make sure that there isn’t some longstanding cause, such as anemia or thyroid disease.
It’s also necessary to exclude the diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which can overlap with IST and seems to be much more common now, especially after a COVID infection.
I have had some success in prescribing exercise for carefully selected patients with IST. The cardiology literature recommends beta blockers or ivabradine to reduce symptoms and improve exercise ability.
Referral to a cardiologist is appropriate given your 10 years of not being evaluated. Even if you decide against therapy, making sure that there isn’t a serious problem is very wise.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to

Vegan cuisine that packs a flavorful punch
People who do not adhere to vegan diets may assume that such diets are void of taste. But vegan foods can be just as flavorful as more traditional alternatives.
Such is the case with the following recipe for “Roasted Baby Parsnips with Sherry-Maple Glaze and Chanterelles” from Tal Ronnen’s “Crossroads: Extraordinary Recipes from the Restaurant That Is Reinventing Vegan Cuisine” (Artisan). When roasted, parsnips produce a sweet flavor, while the chanterelles provide a woodsy taste to prove that vegan foods can indeed be incredibly flavorful.
Roasted Baby Parsnips with Sherry-Maple Glaze and Chanterelles
Serves 4
24 baby parsnips, trimmed, or 8 regular parsnips, root ends trimmed and peeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter stick
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound chanterelles, wiped clean, quartered if large Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Flaked sea salt
To prepare the parsnips, preheat the oven to 400 F.
If using larger parsnips, peel and quarter them lengthwise so the pieces will be uniform in size and cook more evenly. Put the parsnips in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread the parsnips out in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, shaking the pan from time to time, until tender and slightly charred. Set aside. (The roasted parsnips can be prepared a couple hours in advance, covered and held at room temperature. Reheat before serving.)
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Combine the maple syrup, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, swirling the pan around occasionally, until the mixture is reduced and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
To prepare the mushrooms, put a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the butter substitute. When the butter substitute has melted, add the shallot and sauté until soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the garlic, tossing to combine. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until they lose their moisture, soften and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
To serve, crisscross the parsnips on a platter, overlapping them just slightly. Drizzle with the maple glaze and top with the mushrooms. Scatter chopped parsley on top and season with flaked sea salt.

REALIZE ENERGY SAVINGS WITH 1 SIMPLE STEP
A simple project that will help keep your home comfortable is topping up your attic insulation. This easy project will reduce your household energy consumption and will save you money on monthly energy bills.
A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit or furnace to work harder than necessary. Most attics are insulated, but many, especially those in older homes, are not insulated adequately enough. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps.
Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay Roxul ComfortBatt on top of joists, running perpendicular to the first or existing layer of insulation. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists: cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don’t forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical fixtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney.
Insulation begins working the moment it is installed and lasts throughout the life of the building, which means one easy DIY project can provide years of savings.

Make a household favorite more healthy
Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.
Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach
Makes 6 servings
For the sauce:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pinches salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon honey
For the chicken:
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 cups baby spinach
1 teaspoon lemon juice

3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded)
6 cups cooked whole-grain thin spaghetti tossed in 2 teaspoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with olive oil spray.
To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.
To make the chicken: Combine parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium dish and coach chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, rounded-side down, and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.
COLD, PAINFUL FINGERS CAN MEAN A SERIOUS DISEASE
(NAPSI)—“Zombie Hands.” That’s what can happen to an estimated 5 to 10 percent of the population whentemperaturesstarttofall.
In a typical case of Raynaud’s phenomenon, also known as Raynaud’s disease or syndrome, sufferers experience numbness and pain in their fingers, toes and other extremities. Fingers turn white, blue or red as the small blood vessels go into spasm within minutes of exposure to cold or stress, and they appear to be “dead”asbloodflowisconstricted.
Named for the French physician
Maurice Raynaud, who first recognized the condition in 1862, it causesaninterruptionofbloodflow to the fingers, toes, nose or ears. There may be associated tingling, swelling or painful throbbing. The attacks may last from minutes to hours. In severe cases, the area may develop ulcerations and infections, which can lead to gangrene.
Raynaud’scanoccurasa“primary” disease—thatis,withnoassociated disorder—or as a “secondary” conditionrelatedtootherdiseases, such as scleroderma, lupus, and rheumatoidarthritis.
“Ninety percent of Raynaud’s sufferers don’t seek treatment and too many physicians pay short shrift to those who do,” says Lynn Wunderman, founder and chair of the Raynaud’s Association. “Treatment is important because some sufferers may have an underlying condition such as systemic scleroderma or lupus. Awareness of such a problem may allow for earlier medical intervention.” Simple blood tests can rule out the presence of antibodies associated with diseases that have Raynaud’s as a component.
What’s Being Done
Tohelp,theRaynaud’sAssociation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit health organization, launched a new and assertive campaign,”Don’t Turn a Cold Shoulder to Painful Fingers,” to urge those with the disorder— and their doctors—not to dismiss the pain that Raynaud’s sufferers endure,orthelifestyleadjustments they make to minimize exposure to coldorstress.
Although there is no known cure as yet, treatment options such as calcium channel blocker drugs have been clinically proven to alleviate symptoms by opening up the blood vessels so blood circulatesmorefreely.

Don’t fall f Medicare scams
Medicare card scams are on the rise. During one calendar year, Medicare had over $100 billion in fraudulent claims,and the damage cost goes up when identity theft and stolen financial information are added in.
What the Medicare thieves want is your card number, and they’ll try any number of tricks to get you to reveal it.
Scammers might contact you to offer you a “cheaper” Medicare but will need your personal information to sign you up. Don’t fall for it. They might impersonate a Medicare employee and say that your card is about to expire and you need a new one.They’ll ask for your current card number and your personal information to verify it’s really you.
(Wrong: Medicare cards don’t expire.)
Scammers might call and say that your Medicare benefits have been canceled, but claim they can help you get the benefits reinstated if you give them your personal information or even a fee. (Wrong: Medicare won’t communicate with you that way, and if they need to contact you, it will be by mail.)
Thieves might try to claim that your old paper card isn’t good now and that you need a new one with a chip in it, like a credit card. (Wrong: Medicare cards are only made of paper.)
They might offer you a refund of some type or something free, or you might be offered genetic testing. All you need to do, they’ll say, is give them your Medicare card number ... and your bank information for the refund.
Whether you’re contacted by phone, email or text message, don’t give out your Medicare card number or any of your personal or financial information.
As usual, if you suspect you have a scammer on the phone, hang up immediately. If you believe it was an attempt at a Medicare scam, call 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227) to report it.

CALEDONIA MUMFORD’S
Ava Amorese Joins the 1,000-Point Club
BY SUZIE WELLS
Caledonia-Mumford High School senior Ava Amorese has solidified her place in school history, surpassing the coveted 1,000-point mark in Varsity Girls Basketball this February. A five-year varsity athlete in both basketball and soccer, Amorese’s milestone is the culmination of years ofdedicationandpassionforthesport.
“I would like to thank the teammates I’ve had through the years for making basketball one of the greatest experiences of my life,”
AVA AMORESE
Reflecting on her journey, Amorese recalls her earliest memories on the court:“Myfirstmemoriesinbasketball were playing biddy basketball and doing layup drills, and now I get to give back by being a coach in the same youth program!” Her love for the game has only grown over the years, fueled by teamwork and strategy. “I love playing with my team and being able to take all of our individual talents to make us better as a team,” she said. “ e strategy and game planning in basketball is also really fun because each game is completely different and unique from the next.”
Reaching 1,000 career points is a remarkable achievement, one that Amorese describes as “probably one of my biggest personal achievements.” She acknowledges the significance of the milestone, not just as an individual honor, but as a testament to the contributions of past and present teammates. “It’s really cool to have a personal achievement that shows all the work I’ve put into it,” she explained. “It is also nice to be able to look back at past seasons and remember all the past teams that have helped contribute to the accumulation of 1,000 points.”
Beyond her athletic success, Amorese excels academically, recently earning recognition as the fi h-ranked student in her graduating class. Her future aspirations are equally impressive, as she plans to double major in Neuroscience and Psychology in college.
Varsity girls’ basketball coach and Cal-Mum Athletic Director, Michael Reed, praised Amorese’s relentless work ethic and positive attitude, crediting her success to her unwavering
commitment. “Ava’s success is due directly to her hard work,” Reed stated. “She has a fantastic attitude and practices and plays hard all the time. She has great family support that has allowed her to be successful.”
As the Cal-Mum team sets its sights on a sectional title, Reed remains confident in both the team’s growth and Amorese’s bright future. “Our goal has always been to get better each game and in a larger context throughout the season,” he noted, adding, “We have always said that we should not be the same team at the end of the season that we were in the beginning of the season. I would say that has been true this season.”
Reed adds that “Ava has unlimited potential for her future. Her positive attitude, hard work, and family support will help her be successful regardless of what she chooses to do.”
Amorese expressed deep gratitude to those who have been part of her journey. “I would like to thank the teammates I’ve had through the years for making basketball one of the greatest experiences of my life,” she said. “You have made it such a memorable experience I will cherish forever.”
As she prepares for the next chapter, Amorese offers words of wisdom to aspiring athletes: “ e only thing that matters is that you believe in yourself and enjoy playing.” With her remarkable achievements both on and off the court, there’s no doubt that Ava Amorese’s legacy at Caledonia-Mumford will be remembered for years to come.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.
A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.
Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.
