Word from the Publisher
Goodbye October, hello November! We hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
On Sunday, November 2nd, daylight saving time will come to an end, so this is a reminder that we will “fall back” by setting our clocks back an hour. But remember, this is the good one that gives us that precious extra hour of sleep (see page 45.)
On Tuesday, November 11th we celebrate Veterans Day. This federal holiday honors the 18 million American veterans who are serving (or retired) in the U.S. military. It is a day to proudly fly the American flag and take the opportunity to sincerely thank every veteran you know for their service to our great country (see page 9.)
Thanksgiving is on Thursday, November 27th. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to join family and friends on this day to celebrate the many blessings in your life.
And lastly, November 30th marks the official end of ‘Hurricane Season.’ After another relatively quiet season, let’s keep our fingers crossed that nothing else comes our way over the next few weeks.
If you reside outside of the 36 communities the Neighborhood News is direct mailed to each month, we also offer a free digital subscription – just email our office to request having your email added, and you’ll receive our issue each month that you can read on your phone or computer. You can also view our current and previous issues online at www.NeighborhoodNewsInfo.com or on our Facebook Page (Neighborhood News-Lake Worth.) –Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I Owe, I Owe…
Working beyond your planned retirement age is a popular strategy to bolster your retirement savings, but it comes with significant risks. Unexpected factors can derail even the bestlaid plans. Extending your working years does give you more time to grow savings. Additional years of contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like a 401(k) or IRA could shine up your nest egg. In 2025, you can contribute up to $24,500 to a 401(k) (or $32,000 if you’re 50 or older) and $7,500 to an IRA or Roth IRA (or $8,500 if 50+).
Delaying Social Security claims past your full retirement age (67 for those born in 1960 or later) increases your monthly benefit by 8 percent per year until age 70. For example, waiting from 67 to 70 could boost your monthly benefit by 24 percent, a significant increase given that the average Social Security benefit in 2025 is about $2,000 per month.
Despite these benefits, relying on working longer is far from a sure bet. A 2025 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that 48 percent of retirees left the workforce earlier than originally planned, with only 10 percent citing positive reasons like financial security. Instead, more than 50 percent of early retirees cited health issues or disabilities.
Economic shifts, company downsizing, or ageism in the workplace can also force workers out. Many workers, especially women, exit early to care for aging parents or spouses. A safer strategy is to save more money right now by maximizing retirement contributions and building diverse income streams.
The Woman Who Created the Thanksgiving Holiday
Thanksgiving has had many proponents over the years, including thankful pilgrims, sailors and discoverers. But the holiday we celebrate today on the last Thursday of November can be credited to the efforts of the remarkable Sarah Josepha Hale.
Hale, born in 1788, to the Buell family, was the self-taught daughter of modern thinking parents who believed women should be educated. By 1828, she was the editor of an influential women’s magazine. During this period, it was Hale who penned a still-popular series of children's poems that included Mary Had a Little Lamb.
By 1863, the nation was deeply entrenched in the bloodiest years of the Civil War. Tens of thousands were already dead and the war seemed likely to go on, which it did, until 1865. It seemed an unlikely time for Thanksgiving and homecoming, since so many fathers and sons were gone. Few families knew where their loved ones died -- or even if they died, and most everyone lived in anguish.
Still, it was Hale who more than 150 years ago wrote to President Abraham Lincoln and asked that the last Thursday of November be set aside for Thanksgiving. And so it came to be. In arguing for Thanksgiving, Hale wrote:
"Let this day, from this time forth, as long as our Banner of Stars floats on the breeze, be the grand Thanksgiving Holiday of our nation, when the noise and tumult of worldliness may be exchanged for the laugh of happy children, the glad greetings of family reunion, and the humble gratitude of the Christian heart."

We all recognize the solemn moment of "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month." We bow our heads in recognition of the end of World Wars I and II. Most of all, on Veterans Day, we remember and honor the veterans of all American wars and conflicts. We show our gratitude in many ways.
Some will attend parades, ceremonies or prayer services. Others will take time to remember family members and friends who served in past and present conflicts. Many of us will just say, "Thank you for your service."
You won't have a hard time finding a veteran. According to the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 18 million living veterans in the U.S. as of 2025. This represents about 6 percent of the adult population. Veterans usually take a joyful view of the event. They may gather to celebrate with friends, sometimes having a party with fellow unit members who have come from some distance away for the gathering. It's a popular time for reunions.
Veterans Day celebrations at the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) and the American Legion clubs include music, dancing, dining and more, often arranged by the women's auxiliaries. The revelry, however, comes to an abrupt silence for a few moments in recognition of "The 11th Hour" on November 11th.
November—
Diabetes Awareness Month
You've probably heard about drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. They're part of a class of drugs called GLP1s. According to Indiana University Health, the drugs were originally approved to help lower blood sugar but proved exceptionally effective for losing weight without the risky side effects associated with drugs, like phentermine.
Drugmakers raced to develop newer versions that would be marketed for weight loss, and the first such drug, Wegovy, received approval in 2021. Since then, more GLP-1s have been approved and found to be useful for the prevention and treatment of heart disease -- something diabetes patients are twice as likely to develop.
And the race to develop newer and better GLP-1 drugs hasn't slowed. According to Reuters, an experimental GLP-1 pill from Eli Lilly, called orforglipron, delivered better results than an oral version of semaglutide (developed by Novo-Nordisk) for both weight loss and blood sugar control. GLP-1s might also help reverse prediabetes. According to a study published in the journal Diabetology and Metabolic Syndrome, GLP-1s were associated with prediabetes reversal, prevention of new-onset diabetes, and lower blood sugar for 2,903 patients in 12 clinical trials.
Many insurance plans currently cover GLP-1s for the treatment of diabetes, but not for the treatment of obesity or prediabetes. But Medicare prescription drug plans and state Medicaid programs are considering opting into a proposed five-year experiment that would cover off-label use of GLP1s for members.

Happy Birthday, General Patton
Submitted by Marc Solomon / NN Contributor
General George Smith Patton, Jr. (November 11, 1885 –December 21, 1945) was born in San Gabriel, California. He was destined to make military history. He was an indominable warrior, whose fiery spirit and unyielding resolve made him one American’s greatest commanders.
Patton, often called “Old Blood and Guts,” embodied the essence of a soldier. A West Point graduate and a pioneer of tank warfare in WWI, he rose to immortality during WWII. Leading the U.S. Seventh Army in Sicily and the Third Army across Europe, Patton’s lightning-fast armored assaults turned the tide against the Nazi forces, most notably during the Battle of the Bulge. His mantra, “We shall attack and attack until we are exhausted, and then we shall attack again,” captured his relentless drive and inspired his troops to achieve the impossible.
Born on the federal holiday of Veteran’s Day, Patton’s life was a testament to courage, discipline, and an almost mystical devotion to his craft. Though his brashness sometimes sparked controversy, his brilliance on the battlefield was undeniable, earning him both fear from his enemies and reverence from his allies.
George Patton wrote an autobiography. George C. Scott won an Oscar for his portrayal of the general in the 1970 movie, Patton. In 2014, Bill O’Reilly wrote the book, Killing Patton, which covered Patton’s legacy and became a best-seller.

As the aroma of roasted turkey and pumpkin pie fills the air, the Thanksgiving season reminds us to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the comfort of home. For many in Palm Beach County, it's also a time to reflect on what "home" truly means.
For Sellers: A Season of Warmth and Welcome. This time of year naturally makes homes feel cozier and more inviting. The scent of cinnamon, glowing candles, and fall decor can transform a showing into an emotional experience. Buyers walking through your home in November and December are often more serious and motivated- they want to settle into the right home before the holidays.
For Buyers: The Gift of Opportunity. While the market typically cools slightly during the holidays, serious sellers remain—and that can mean better opportunities for buyers. With less competition and motivated sellers, the holiday season can offer value and negotiation power that may not be available in the spring.
And there is just something special about spending your first holiday season in your new home —a place to create new traditions and wonderful memories that last a lifetime. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Do’s & Don’ts Do’s & Don’ts
While being mortgage-free is emotionally appealing, it’s not always the smartest financial move. Financial planners suggest prioritizing other financial goals before paying off your mortgage. Here are three points to consider in 2025:
1. Tackle debt first. Paying off credit card balances or other highinterest debt should take precedence. With average credit card interest rates hovering around 20-25 percent in 2025, paying down this debt offers an immediate return equivalent to the interest rate. Eliminating a $10,000 credit card balance at 22 percent interest saves you $2,200 annually—far outpacing the benefits of paying down a mortgage with a lower interest rate.
2. Prioritize retirement savings. Financial planners emphasize that a mortgage is considered "good debt" due to its relatively low interest rates and potential tax deductions. Instead of extra mortgage payments, focus on maxing out tax-advantaged retirement accounts. The final decade before retirement is critical for compounding growth in these accounts. For instance, contributing $24,500 annually to a 401(k) at a 7 percent average return could grow significantly by retirement, outpacing the savings from early mortgage payoff.
3. Build a Robust Emergency Fund. Build an emergency fund covering 6-12 months of living expenses and keep it in a high-yield savings account yielding around 4-4.5 percent. Without an emergency fund, a disaster or sudden expense could force you to dip into retirement plans.
World Pneumonia Day—
November 12
Once called "Winter Fever," the symptoms of pneumonia have been known since the time of Greek physician Hippocrates, who commented on it around 460 BC. But it wasn't until the late 1800s that the bacterial cause of pneumonia was identified— Streptococcus pneumoniae, which was first isolated in 1880 by Louis Pasteur and George Sternberg. By the 1940s, with the development and mass production of antibiotics like penicillin, more people began to survive the lung disease.
While treatment today is highly effective, especially with antibiotics for bacterial cases, pneumonia remains the leading single infectious cause of death in children under 5 worldwide, claiming over 700,000 young lives each year.
Pneumonia is an inflammation or infection of the lungs. Air sacs in one or more lung lobes fill with pus or other fluids, preventing inhaled oxygen from reaching the blood. Viral pneumonia often occurs after a viral disease, such as influenza or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). But pneumonia can also be caused by bacteria (most commonly Streptococcus pneumoniae), fungi, or even aspiration of food or liquids.
Viral and bacterial pneumonia are contagious, spreading through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing; fungal types are not. Vaccines are available to protect against key bacterial and viral causes, and antibiotics treat bacterial infections effectively. Protect yourself from pneumonia by washing your hands frequently; maintaining general health through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and not smoking.
Fight Back Against Dust Mites
The dust that accumulates on your furniture, floors and knickknacks has nothing to do with poor housekeeping. It's a natural and continual collection of stuff caused by microscopic dust mites, the breakdown of fibers from household fabrics and furniture, and human and animal dander (skin flakes). The average house in the U.S. collects about 40 pounds of dust each year, say allergists.
Dust is a large part of indoor air pollution, mainly because people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, says the Environmental Protection Agency. And dust can trigger allergies and asthma attacks. While you can't eradicate dust altogether, there are steps you can take to reduce its accumulation. The first step is getting rid of clutter.
Molly Hooven, an EPA spokeswoman, suggests concentrating dust-fighting efforts on bedrooms, because you spend about onethird of your time there. Some things you can do:
•Vacuum the bedroom carpet using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Vacuuming can eliminate dust mites that have settled on the floor.
•Clean surfaces such as your vanity, TVs, side tables and headboards with a damp cloth. Close closet doors.
• Wash your bedding. Use 140-degree water to kill dust mites.
•Place stuffed animals and fabric items that can't be machinewashed into plastic bags and freeze for 24 hours, which will also eliminate dust mites.

Let’s Talk Turkey…
You can stick your head in the sand, or you can have some facts and prepare for the onslaught (a little pre-holiday salad or extra workouts, say). So, for those who prefer to be informed, here it goes:
Thanksgiving dinner can easily pack on about 3,150 calories, according to the Calorie Control Council, whose website includes a chart that outlines a potential 159 grams of fat as well. Their sample Thanksgiving dinner didn't even include skin on the turkey and only counted one serving of cornbread, one tablespoon of butter, and one slice of pie. And no booze. So that fat and calorie count could potentially go a wee bit higher.
More likely, we're all headed for more than 4,000+ calories, practically two days' worth of calories in one meal. And our carbs can easily approach an eye-popping 500 grams.
The Council certainly doesn't recommend avoiding that big Thanksgiving dinner but does provide some tips for reducing the calorie count and for preparing yourself. This includes getting some good exercise and dropping a few pounds in the days leading up to the holiday meal, eating something healthy beforehand so you don't go into the big meal famished, socializing away from the table of food, and drinking several glasses of water during the meal.

Once in a Lifetime Experience
By Zoe Stoler, Freshman
at University of Central Florida
Billie Eilish, an artist who first gained attention from her single “Ocean Eyes” back in 2016, has taken off on her second leg of the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. She released the album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, in May last year, and set off on tour on September 29, starting in Canada.
Now, a little over a year later, she started her U.S. leg of the tour, beginning in Miami at the Kaseya Center. I had the privilege of going to night two of her Miami stop and believe it was a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve been to many concerts, but this one has to be at the top of the list.
Billie also works to have an eco-friendly tour by partnering with REVERB and her mom Maggie’s nonprofit to focus on reducing waste. She provides plant-based food options at all her venues, and her merch is made with materials like recycled and organic fabrics. Billie’s show includes performances of songs from her new album, as well as songs from previous albums, “Happier Than Ever,”
“Therefore I am,” and “Bad Guy,” as well as the award winning Best Original Song, “What Was I Made For?”
Back in 2020, at the start of Covid, Billie had to cancel her Where Did We Go World Tour.
Now her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour is giving fans another chance to experience her live with even more music to enjoy.

Secrets Still Hide in Florida’s Mist
By Raven Morrow / Winston Trails Resident
In the tangled swamps of South Florida, a legend has lingered for centuries—the Skunk Ape, Florida’s own Bigfoot. Long before modern sightings and camera phones, the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes spoke of wild, towering figures that roamed the Everglades, half-human and half-beast, slipping quietly through the cypress shadows at night.
Unlike the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest, the Skunk Ape is infamous for the foul odor that follows it, a stench like rotting eggs or sulfur that warns unlucky wanderers they probably aren’t alone.
Reports stretch back to the 1800s, when early settlers claimed to hear bone-chilling howls at night and found enormous manlike footprints pressed deep into the mud on canal embankments. In the 1960s and ’70s, the Skunk Ape made headlines after sightings surged—hundreds of frightened campers, hunters, and even Florida Wildlife Officers reported witnessing a massive, red-eyed figure rushing through the marsh.
Some believe it’s a surviving remnant of prehistoric primates; others are convinced it’s an undiscovered species perfectly adapted to living in the swamp. Whether it is true or folklore, the Skunk Ape still remains one of Florida’s biggest mysteries—a reminder that in the vast, endless wetlands, some secrets still hide in the mist.
November 16 is National Button Day
That jar of buttons tucked in your dresser drawer has quite a history. Buttons were an innovation that changed the way kings dressed -- and eventually regular people, too. The first evidence of the button really comes from the Indus Valley (modern-day Pakistan) about 2800 BC. They were used either as ornaments or tied with leather or thread to secure clothing. Many ancient buttons from China, Greece and Rome were more like broaches, made of metal glass or stone and pinned on garments as decorations.
It wasn't until the 13th century that Europeans really began using buttons as fasteners, and that was because of an amazing German invention in the 13th century: The buttonhole. That led to an explosion of both fashion and button makers. Kings immediately adopted buttons as status symbols.
By 1520, King Francis I of France bedecked a garment with 13,600 buttons, according to Rocklanddaily.com. That was mainly done to dazzle King Henry VIII, but when the two men met, it seemed Henry was similarly outfitted in gold buttons. By the 19th century, ladies were wearing button shoes, and the button was on its way to becoming a standard in clothing.
Today, if your button jar is taking up too much space, consider using them for crafts. Break out the glue gun and decorate a picture frame or make a Christmas plaque. If you have special buttons left from garments of relatives, be sure to tell the story to recipients of your gifts.

Get Ready to Fall Back November 2nd
We go back to Standard time on November 2nd, as millions in the U.S. and billions globally go from clock to clock turning the hour back from Daylight Saving Time (DST) to Standard time. The idea is old, but in the U.S. the practice is fairly recent. Germany became the first country to implement DST in 1916, during World War I, to conserve coal. Other European nations, including the UK, followed within weeks.
The U.S. adopted DST under the Standard Time Act of 1918, also to save fuel during the war. Clocks were advanced one hour from March to October. However, it was repealed in 1919 due to agricultural opposition. During World War II, many countries, including the U.S., reintroduced DST to conserve resources. In the U.S., "War Time" (year-round DST) was mandated from February 1942 to September 1945.
After WWII, U.S. states and localities could choose whether to observe DST, leading to confusion. In 1965, Iowa had 23 different DST variations. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established a federal framework for DST, allowing states to opt out but requiring uniformity within states. The 1973 oil crisis prompted the U.S. to experiment with year-round DST in 1974–1975 to save energy, but public backlash led to its reversal.
In 1986, U.S. DST was extended to start the first Sunday in April. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 further extended it, effective 2007, to the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November, as it remains today in most observing areas.
