Navigating snowy landscapes and icy streets can be difficult and uncomfortable. Winter clothing is largely classified by clothes that keep you warm and some that keep you even warmer, but winter need not be strictly about function. Although winter might not be the season of high fashion, anyone can employ strategies to include form, function and fashion into their winter ensembles.
MAKE THE HOLIDAY SEASON MORE ECO-FRIENDLY
Create an eco-friendly party theme. Many holiday parties have themes. For example, “ugly sweater parties” have become so popular that many clothing manufacturers now intentionally produce colorful sweaters that might otherwise draw the ire of fashionistas. Hosts planning to throw an ugly sweater party can easily transform such festivities into something more eco-friendly by encouraging guests to purchase their sweaters from thrift stores. A Christmas tree planting party is another eco-friendly party theme that can benefit the planet and revitalize local forests at a time of year when they might be depleted due to the demand for natural Christmas trees.

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.

PREPARE YOUR LAWN & GARDEN FOR WINTER
Apply a winterizing fertilizer. Winterizing fertilizers can help lawns store food they need to survive through winter and also can help them bounce back strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated for coolseason grasses such as fescue and bluegrass and are often best applied after the final cut of fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant in winter, so homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses won’t want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. Homeowners who don’t know which type of grass they have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing fertilizer should consult with a lawncare professional before fertilizing.

BEAT CABIN FEVER WITH WINTER RENOVATIONS
When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas.
Individuals may find that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unfinished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion. Homeowners may find that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors.
One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel.
Address drafts and other inefficiencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent infiltration. Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations. Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchens. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Q. Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I just discontinued using metoprolol succinate extended release (ER) at a dosage of 6.25 mg. My heart rate is normally in the 70-80s, and my blood pressure is normal. My doctor prescribed it for palpitations, but it seems totally unnecessary. My issue is that I am experiencing tachycardia of over 100 beats every single night as well as dry mouth.
Could this be anxiety? And do you think an antidepressant like Zoloft or Paxil would help? I had a Holter monitor, which showed nothing wrong with my heart. The palpitations were sporadic only when I was anxious.
I stopped metoprolol because it exacerbated my anxiety and caused me depression as well as panic attacks. My doctor prescribed me 1 mg of Ativan to take at bedtime, but I am very scared of getting addicted to it. So, I thought maybe an antidepressant would help instead. My doctor prescribed 25 mg of Zoloft, but I want another opinion. -- S.S.
A.
ANSWER: Generalized anxiety disorder is a common problem and may be associated with panic attacks (sometimes depression as well). The most common and highly effective medication treatment for generalized anxiety disorder, with or without panic attacks, is an SSRI-type drug like sertraline (Zoloft). Therapy is another option, and the two together are more effective than they are separately. Metoprolol is an effective treatment for the fast heart rate that some people get when they have anxiety, and metoprolol by itself is helpful for many people who have anxiety. (The high heart rate can make people feel even more anxious.) However,it sounds like metoprolol did not work for you.There is a small increased risk of depression among people who take beta blockers like metoprolol. In my opinion, lorazepam (Ativan) is not a good long-term choice for an anxiety disorder, but it can still be helpful in some people while they’re waiting for another treatment to start working (such as therapy or a medicine like Zoloft). It takes six to eight weeks to reach maximum effectiveness.
Addiction is not an issue when both the patient and prescriber agree that it will be only used as a short-term treatment. For Zoloft, 25 mg is a low dose, and some people need higher doses (sometimes much higher) to control their symptoms.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Why shouldn’t you use antibiotics for a cold? -- T.Y.A.
A.
ANSWER: There are two main reasons. The first is that antibiotics are effective against bacteria; they’re not effective against the viruses,which are the cause of colds.It is true that a person (or their doctor) cannot be 100% sure whether they have a virus, but people are generally pretty good about knowing when they have a cold.
The second is that resistance to antibiotics has become a major issue in medicine. There are now strains of bacteria that are resistant to all antibiotics, and I have seen patients die because their bacteria were resistant to all the antibiotics we have. Using antibiotics less often and for shorter durations is a major goal to reduce the rate of antibiotic resistance. (Antibiotic use in animals that are raised for food is a major issue as well.)
Patients can help by not asking for (or demanding) antibiotics for what are almost certainly viral infections.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions
SUNY Brockport and Clarkson Historical Society Join to Solve Nearly 200-Year Old Mystery
CHRISTOPHER GRAHAM, CLARKSON HISTORICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER
e Clarkson Historical Society (CHS) is pleased to share an update on the search for the foundation site of the original wooden structure that first housed our Clarkson Academy. Built in 1836 behind the Presbyterian Church (now the Christ Church of Clarkson), it was the first school of higher education west of the Genesee River in Monroe County.
With a starting enrollment of twenty-two students and one teacher, it drew students from as far away as the "Northwest Territories" (today our upper Midwestern States). e structure burned in December 1852 and a new Academy was rebuilt (in brick) the following year near those ruins. e exact location of the original foundation has been lost over time, giving us a mystery to solve nearly 200 years later!
CHS teamed up with two departments at SUNY Brockport in a unique "community archaeology" project.
Dr. Alex Smith, Associate Professor of Anthropology, who heads SUNY Brockport’s Archaeology Program, along with several students, leverage their knowledge and experience with traditional landscape archaeology methods, artifact recording and conservation, GPS mapping of finds, and surveying technology.
Dr. Paul Richards, SUNY Brockport’s Associate Professor of Geology, brings two "high-tech" pieces of equipment to our search: drone-based Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) scanning, which looks for subtle changes in growth patterns that hint at subsurface features, and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) that looks for tell-tale signs of disturbances and possible structures like foundations under the soil.
In addition, Matt Bacchetta, leader of the Rochester NY Metal Detecting Artifacts & Recovery group, leverages his sophisticated equipment to help locate and unearth metal finds of all types.
While most relic hunters are interested in gold, silver, and valuable coins (think gold doubloons) and tune out most everything else, our team of experts searches for iron and other non-precious metals like cast-iron parts, bent nails, brass doorknobs and hinges. Items like these would likely be present in the debris field of the original wooden Academy building a er it burned and collapsed upon itself. While many of the original metal hardware items would have been cleaned and reused in the 1853 rebuilding of the Academy, we hope enough may remain to tell the story. With that in mind, we look for a roughly rectangular pattern of these types of metal finds in the ground, along with indications from the NDVI and GPR ground scans, that could outline the original 1836 foundation.
Phase One, completed on Saturday, September 27th, was led by Dr. Smith, Dr. Richards, and Bacchetta, along with two recent SUNY Brockport Archaeology graduates, Evelyn Patterson and Natalie Klein, and one current student, Wyatt Weiss. e focus of our investigation is an area just south of the Church and east of the present brick Academy building. is full-day effort yielded our first NDVI scanning run and over 100 artifacts! We covered less than half of the targeted area before we ran out of daylight.
Artifacts found ranged from hand-wrought iron "square nails" (which could date to the period of the original Academy construction), parts of an old coal-fired potbelly stove (which could be the original school’s heating source and possibly the source of the devastating fire), several old coins, many brick chips and piles of coal ash, a silver-plated spoon, a bone-handled pen knife (from the 1920s or 1930s) and four modern-day arrows.

e most intriguing find that day may not be directly related to the Academy. It was a Presidential Campaign token from 1884 when James G. Blaine ran against Grover Cleveland. One can picture campaign speeches held on the Academy grounds as candidates for the 1884 election passed through our county's small towns, like Clarkson, seeking votes.
e found artifacts speak of 200 years of occupation on this site. Our multitude of Phase One finds are currently being cleaned, conserved, and catalogued, and will eventually be put on display at the Academy.
Phase Two kicked off with a second drone flyover NDVI scan and the mapping preparation for our GPR scan on November 3rd. e combined SUNY Brockport team will work through the winter to merge the drone NDVI imaging, historical aerial photos, artifact details and discovery maps, the GPR scan results and topographical data into a final report. is will be presented by Dr. Smith and the students in the spring to kick off our 2026 Lecture Series at the Clarkson Academy building.
A community open house and artifact cleaning day is being planned to showcase our project and its discoveries. Stay tuned for a further update on our Phase Two finds!

DID YOU KNOW? Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health.The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings. The frequency of giving back to one’s community also may affect just how much volunteering affects mental health. Study participants who volunteered at least once per month rated their mental health even higher than those who volunteered but did so infrequently.

Contrary to popular belief, cats can be trained. Although they’re not likely to be as motivated by praise as dogs, cats can respond to food treatsparticularly something soft and smelly. However, that may take some practice as, according to Petfinder, cats are less instinctively driven to work in partnership with humans. But those tasty treats may inspire them to stay and come and even use a toilet in lieu of a litter box.

Planning for a Christmas puppy
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I know you’re probably going to scoff at this, but we want to give our kids a puppy for Christmas. The whole cute scene by the Christmas tree, and all. This isn’t a last-minute decision, as we have been talking about it for several months. We feel that our children, who are 10 and 8 years old, are old enough to play a role in the puppy’s care and training. Of course, we will take the lead in all matters. My husband researched the best family-friendly breeds, and we’ve contacted three different breeders to tell them our plan. What do you think? -- Zoey in Knoxville,Tennessee
DEAR ZOEY: You’ll get no scoffing from me.If there’s a “right” way to give kids a Christmas puppy, this is it. Rather than a spur-of-the-moment decision, you’re both putting a lot of thought and planning into this. You have a realistic view of the kids’ contribution to the puppy’s care and training. You are talking with multiple breeders and communicating your plans to them. This is the responsible way to bring a new pet home.
Be ready for the wrinkles, however. You’re adopting a living thing, and they grow by their own schedule. Good breeders will emphasize that they don’t guarantee puppies will be ready for homes by a specific date, so have a contingency plan if the puppy isn’t mature enough to come home on Christmas Eve. Your kids will be just as thrilled, and you can stage the “reveal” later so you can capture those family photos.
Building a little flexibility into your puppy plan will give you the opportunity to pick the exact breed of dog you’d like, and to meet the puppy ahead of time to determine its temperament.

Co assion For Others
I want to say thank you to the lady at Wegmans in Corning. I was sitting at an empty display table, grieving a friend who passed recently. You stopped and asked if I was OK. That random act of compassion meant everything to me. I pray you are blessed and your legs feel better. Thank you so much. I believe you were divinely sent.
Wonderful & Helpful People
I would like to thank all of the people who assisted me after I had a bad fall in East Rochester at our voting location. Thankfully, I am okay, just some bruising, but the number of people who came to help me was amazing. Along with the librarians I was able to walk out on my own and get myself home. These people really touched me with their concern. I did not get any names but want them to know how much they restored my faith in people!
Many, Many anks
Many thanks to all the motorists on Bronson Hill Road on October 21st who slowed down and stopped to help catch our escaped rescue puppy during busy traffic. Special shout out to Morgan from Springwater, the young lady who eventually captured Mookie. And to the couple in the white pickup truck who also assisted and covered several lawns and a hill going after her. These two “old” ladies were not quick enough and we are forever grateful.
Football Embarassment
I honestly can’t believe how our school administration and coaches handled this situation. The fact that members of the football team got into a fight — a literal embarrassment to the school and the entire program — and nothing serious was done about it is beyond frustrating. If it were any other students, they’d be suspended without question. But because it’s the football team? Give me a break. It’s embarrassing that the administration cares more about protecting the school’s image than holding people accountable. What kind of message does that send? That your reputation matters more than your integrity? I’m tired of pretending that this kind of behavior represents our school pride. If the administration and coaches really wanted to make things right, they’d stop covering for people and start standing up for what’s actually right!
Recycling
Almost every week, I watch as our recyclable material bin is dumped into the large household waste tote, then mechanically dumped into the garbage pickup truck. Laziness of workers? We called, they claimed it doesn’t happen. IT DOES! Next week I’ll video.
SENIOR NEWS LINE

Here’s to a better 2026
Here we are, ready to wrap up another year. And there’s a new one just around the corner. What can we learn from this year to help us in the next one?
Many seniors have had a rough time financially, and it doesn’t look as though things are going to get better soon. Grocery costs have been a big part of that. What we’ve learned is that every time we go to the store, the items we usually buy will cost more and more. And the cost of the coat we’ve been eying is much more than last year. And our electric bill just isn’t going to go down.
But we’ve also learned that the people who run the food bank are kind and helpful. And we’ve learned that we can get one more year out of our winter coat. And we’ve learned that wearing a vest at home can make up for the one degree we turn down the thermostat.
While it wasn’t as bad as during the Covid pandemic lockdowns, our sense of isolation this year was made worse by finances because we didn’t dare spend on too many lunches out with friends. For some of us, the sense of loneliness and anxiety took a toll on our health. But all is not lost. We can look for free activities that bring us in contact with others: Book clubs at the library, art classes at the local museum and board games at the senior center all give us opportunities to socialize. Ask about organizing a karaoke night! Even exercise can be free and can combine fitness with socialization. Look for pickleball at the rec center, and chair yoga at the senior center. Do you have an Advantage plan that covers Silver Sneakers workout classes?

KEEP YOUR TREE FRESH THIS CHRISTMAS
Cut pre-cut trees before leaving the lot. Pre-cut trees can make it through the holiday season looking their best, but buyers should request that employees cut as much as two inches off the bottom of the tree before leaving the lot. Once trees are cut, sap begins to seal their base, making it hard for them to absorb water. By requesting that between one and two inches be removed from the bottom of the tree at the time of purchase, buyers are ensuring their trees will be able to absorb the water they’ll need to make it through the season when they get home.

Ruthy
By Judith Waynai
A kitten’s love on a winter day
Brings sunshine on the grayest of days. Kitten whiskers tickle me, Somersaults, the chasing of her tail, leaping in the air, feet running,
Dreaming of chasing butterflies, crickets, locusts that are somewhere in time.
Sun baths of the future e smell of fresh grass...
of protection from tip-overs.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB
Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.

Long ago, Christmas trees were traditionally set up and decorated quite late in December, often on Christmas Eve. Today, marketing starts long before Christmas, for better or worse. Psychologists say festive decorations spikes people’s happy hormone, dopamine, so perhaps decorations help make/keep people happy longer. If you decorate for Christmas, when do you decorate?
- At the first sign of autumn
- At first snowfall
- Halloween
- Early November
- After Thanksgiving
- Early December
- Christmas Eve
- Whenever I feel in the mood

Over the years, that harvest evolved into what we now recognize as the “First Thanksgiving.” People pause and give thanks for the people and opportunities in their lives.
