EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Around and around the house the leaves fall thick—but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow. Let the gardener sweep and sweep the turf as he will, and press the leaves into full barrows, and wheel them off, still they lie ankle-deep.

~Charles Dickens, Bleak House

It Finds You

By Erin Snow

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

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

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.

Through woods with gorgeous hues bedight,

The goodly log’s triumphant blaze.

DID YOU KNOW? The exact causes of many headaches continues to confound medical researchers. Though the Cleveland Clinic notes that certain environmental factors, such as exposure to allergens or strong odors from household chemicals, can trigger headaches,the mechanism that causes muscles or blood vessels to swell or tighten remains something of a mystery. During a headache, the mysterious mechanism activates specific nerves that affect muscles and blood vessels, and these nerves then send pain signals to the brain. Harvard Medical School notes that tissues that surround the brain and some major nerves in the brain also can signal pain. HMS also reports that while there are more than 300 types of headaches, only about 10 percent of them have an identifiable cause. And what triggers a headache in one person will not necessarily do so in another. However, HMS notes that people who suffer from migraines, an especially severe type of headache that can increase a person’s risk of heart attack, tend to remain sensitive to the same triggers.That’s good news, as it means that people who can identify their headache triggers can then take steps to avoid those triggers in the future in the hopes of reducing the frequency of their headaches.

Remembering Sixty Years at Penfield’s Oakwood Cemetery

BY DAVE BUSCH, WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY RICHARD T. BUSCH AND JAN W. BRAMAN

Have you ever been out for a Sunday drive and come across a well-kept cemetery, large or small, and wondered how it got that way? is is the narrative of one such cemetery in the town of Penfield, and the three generations of the Busch family, father, son, and grandson, who for a little more than 60 consecutive years, served as superintendents of Oakwood Cemetery.

Oakwood Cemetery was named for the oak trees originally planted in a circular pattern around the current mound landscape feature. Established on a one-acre plot, its first marked burial took place in 1812. Today, the site covers 33 acres of former farmland.

Most cemeteries have a governing body that sets policies, but it’s o en the superintendent, on site nearly every day, who carries them out and makes quick decisions to keep the grounds beautiful. All decisions, whether made by a governing entity or a superintendent, aim to enhance operations, ensuring grass is properly mowed, trimming around tombstones is complete, and the grounds remain in excellent condition.

“Oakwood Cemetery will always be a special place for the Busch family—a place where generations have worked side by side.”

e spring, summer, and fall seasons are when Oakwood looks its best, especially Memorial Day, when a parade and services honoring military men and women takes place. When he was superintendent, William “Bill” Busch started a tradition that became a family favorite: each year, Busch family members proudly plant 100 red geraniums around the flag pole. roughout the spring, summer, and fall, Oakwood is dressed in beautiful colors from all the plants and potted flowers.

Daniel Penfield, the founder of the town that bears his name, is buried here, as are Horace Bush, great-greatgrandfather of President George W. Bush, and Peter Deuel, born and raised in Penfield, who became an actor and died young.

A stone wall marks the Whalen and Baird Rd sides of Oakwood. In addition to mowing and trimming, the superintendent’s duties include meeting with families to arrange burials, selling plots, and digging and closing graves, arranging flowers, and pouring foundations for new monuments. He also maintains equipment, stores mowers properly, keeps the office tidy, and updates online technology so families can easily locate loved ones’ graves. It’s a far cry from the work needed for the single acre of farmland that gave the cemetery its start.

The Busch Family Superintendents

William “Bill” Busch became superintendent of Oakwood Cemetery in 1963, at age 56. Bill served 13 years until 1976. His tenure was hands-on. Bill’s brother, Carl, built three dirt carts to pull behind a John Deere garden tractor to help remove dirt from graves and fill low spots. e cemetery had a truck, but within a few years, Bill used his own money to buy a used backhoe to dig graves—previously done by hand. Until then, neighbor Bernie Lindsey would occasionally dig with his backhoe. When Bill became superintendent, only 15 of the 33 acres were developed. ere was no office or phone; all burial calls came to his home in the evening. e original 1961 building served only as garage space. When Bill’s son, Dave, took over in 1976, an office was added to the original building.

During Dave’s tenure as superintendent, a new backhoe was purchased, office space was built beside the existing garage, and other renovations were made. e existing stone wall on Whelan and Baird Roads was restored thanks to donations by Oneita and Fred Wagner, of East Penfield, who also funded a chain link fence around the entire property. Dave developed another five or six acres for new graves, including the 17001800 sections, and then the 1900-2300 sections. He also had driveways paved and additional water lines installed.

Dave retired the first time in 2002, passing the torch to his son, Lance, until 2021, when Dave was called back as interim superintendent. Dave trained a new superintendent who stayed a year and a half before Dave was called back in 2024 through June 1, 2025. at makes 60 years in which the Busch family supervised Oakwood Cemetery.

When Dave retired the first time, he handed the keys to his son Lance, who had worked alongside his dad and grandfather since he was 12. During Lance’s tenure as superintendent, he oversaw construction of the mausoleum and modernized equipment, including more efficient mowers.

From 1963 to 2025, three generations of hard-working superintendents brought new life to Oakwood Cemetery, with several siblings and grandchildren helping mow and trim during summers, and everyone coming together to plant the geraniums for Memorial Day. Oakwood Cemetery will always be a special place for the Busch family.

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.

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.

SIGHTS TO SEE AT FALL HARVEST FESTIVALS

Seasonal fare - Many fall harvest festivals are built on the foods harvested in the fall for that region. In Wisconsin, that may be cranberries, while in Massachusetts it could be oysters. Apples also turn up in many areas starting in September. For those who can’t wait to bite into food picked at the peak of its season, a fall harvest festival can’t be beat.

Planning pointers for holiday hosts

Hosting is a significant part of the holiday season. From late November until New Year's Day, millions of people across North America welcome friends and family into their homes. Whether you're hosting a small gathering with locally based loved ones or welcoming distant relatives into your home for several days, the following are some planning pointers to ensure your home is ready and guests feel welcome this holiday season.

• Hire a local cleaning service. e holiday season can be hectic. Holiday functions at school, office parties, community events, and more fill up social schedules between late November and early January. Busy social schedules leave little time for house cleaning, which is a must before welcoming guests into a home. A local cleaning service can clean the whole house for hosts welcoming overnight guests or focus on a few popular entertaining areas if party guests will be going home at the end of the night.

• Get an early head count. Ask party invitees and prospective overnight guests to RSVP early enough to ensure you can accommodate everyone's needs. Additional seating may be required for holiday parties, while hosts may need to arrange for extra bedding for overnight guests. e earlier you know who's coming, and potentially staying, the more time you have to ensure you can accommodate everyone.

• Rent items from a local party supply store. When hosting large gatherings, a local party supply store can be the place to go for decorations, seating, food trays and utensils, and more. Such establishments also may rent specialty supplies like outdoor heat lamps for cold weather parties or tents and outdoor tables and chairs in areas where the weather is warm during the holiday season. Hosts can typically rent everything they need to host the party, saving them the expense of buying items that may just sit in storage the rest of the year.

• Arrange for transportation. Whether guests are flying in from distant lands or local friends, relatives or neighbors stopping in for the night, hosts can arrange for transportation to and from their homes to ensure everyone arrives safely and makes it home without incident. Pick overnight guests up at the airport so they see a friendly face upon arrival. When hosting gatherings with local family and friends, encourage others to share how they intend to get home and recruit designated drivers if you intend to serve alcohol.

Hosts can take heed of these planning pointers so guests feel welcome and have a good time this holiday season. TF23B455

KIDS’ COLORING CONTEST

FEATUREDBUSINESSES

&body mind

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Pain Persists Around Puncture Site After Medical Procedure

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.

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.

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

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life. People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

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?

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION

Determine your motivation for renovating: Renovation projects often involve balancing needs and wants, and determining if a project is a necessity or a luxury can set the timeline and course of the project. Is the roof leaking? If so, immediate action is necessary. Could the kitchen be a bit more functional? If the kitchen is still manageable, a homeowner may be able to wait a little bit to get better prices on appliances or contracting services.

Separating needs from wants helps homeowners map out a viable timeline that maximizes productivity and affordability.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY

Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.

People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.

HOW BUSINESSES CAN EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYEES

Highlight workers on social media.Social media is a significant part of modern business operations. Companies can create a Wall of Fame page that puts a weekly spotlight on a different employee who is contributing in his or her own way to the operations.Not only does this improve the morale of the team, it provides the public with a glimpse into the positive working environment of the company.
