Heart of Gold
By Brittani Kitrinos
Held me when I was cold
You gave me shelter and food
Cheered me up when I was blue
If only I knew... How much you do
Never ask for much
In return
Nothing can compare at’s true
If only I knew...
When I’m feeling blue I always think of you
A mother’s heart of gold I’m so thankful for you

Landing
& Strengthen Our Community
WHEN YOU SHOP LOCAL, YOU INVEST IN MORE THAN JUST A PRODUCT –YOU INVEST IN YOUR TOWN!
• Local businesses reinvest in our town. A significant portion of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays in the local economy, supporting jobs, schools, public services, and community projects.
• They create jobs. Small businesses employ our neighbors, friends, and family members, keeping our community strong and thriving.
• You get personal service. Local shop owners know their customers, offer expert advice, and take pride in their products. No automated customer service, just real people who care!
• Unique finds, not mass-produced goods. Local stores carry one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, and locally sourced products that you won’t find at big-name retailers.

I wanted to thank the neighbors and other friendly Bloomfield residents who came to my aid in so many different fashions: coats, blankets, scarves, etc., when I had my accident by the school on Halloween day.

I want to thank all the road workers on Countyline Road for making our road safe again with the one lane gone.
American Flag
I think it’s very disrespectful to fly your American flag upside down. If you are so unhappy with the United States, then maybe you should leave the country and go somewhere you would be happy. I understand this country isn’t in the greatest state, but you should be proud to fly the American flag, correctly.
Handshake
Why won’t people shake your hand anymore? Since Covid, no one will shake hands when wishing peace in church. It’s sad and frustrating. It’s like when we were kids and you thought the other person had cooties. Please don’t be afraid to shake hands, let’s get back together again.
Horse Poo
As I pick up and remove my dog’s poop from the local trails, I wonder why it is acceptable to leave MOUNDS of horse manure on these trails?
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.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Stay Calm to Foil Scammers
This is a new scam, but then it’s what we expect from thieves -yet another way to steal from us. This one involves our innocentseeming bank debit card, a scammer and a pair of scissors. Here’s how it works:
You’ll get a call from someone claiming to be from your bank who says there is fraudulent activity happening on your account, and they need your help. You’ll be told that you need to act fast before you lose all your money.
The scammers will tell you to cut up your debit card, but not to cut up the little microchip on the card. Put all the pieces, they’ll say, in an envelope and leave it at your door, because a bank “official” is going to rush over to take possession of the evidence. Oh, and there will be one last little detail they’ll need -- your bank PIN. By that time, if you’re sufficiently rattled, you’ll willingly tell them the number.
A scammer will quickly show up at your door to grab the envelope. Armed with that little card chip and your PIN, they can quickly empty your account.
The key is for you to not get rattled, to not let scammers direct your actions.
If you’re suspicious about any call, hang up! It’s OK (even preferable in this case) to be rude! Call the bank or company on their official number and ask if they were trying to contact you about fraudulent activity on your account.
If your debit card (or any card) expires and the bank or company sends you a replacement, cut up the old one. Be sure to cut through the chip, the magnetic strip on the back and the numbers as well as your name. Divide them up in multiple trash bags to keep the pieces apart
Remember: Stay calm to defeat the scammers.

Coats & Toys FOR KIDS
Residents and surrounding businesses collaborate with the Salvation Army every year to lend a hand in keeping kids warm by donating winter coats and toys to families in need. In 1983, the Salvation Army launched the Coats for Kids initiative. The aim is that no child will be left without a coat during winter.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT A VETERINARY DENTAL CLEANING
Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, a pet’s vital signs are monitored and IV fluids are administered to keep the animal comfortable and safe. Before the pet is brought out of anesthesia, dental x-rays also may be taken to check for problems not visible to the naked eye. The pet also will be monitored after anesthesia in the recovery room.

A happy Thanksgiving starts with pets’ safety and comfort
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please remind your readers, as the holiday season begins, to keep a close eye on their pets. Many of our favorite foods at Thanksgiving and Christmas contain ingredients that are poisonous to dogs and cats. Holiday gatherings with lots of family and friends can be really stressful for them, too. -- Larry in Secaucus, New Jersey
“Keep Smiling”
“Haven’t been to a dentist in a very long time! Never once felt any judgement. I met 5 different people that worked there and would recommend to anyone! The most happy, friendly, professional people I have ever met! Anyone out there that hates dentists or fears mouth pain, needs to call Dr. Garcia and his incredible staff!” – Michael
DEAR LARRY: You’re absolutely right, and thank you for sending this reminder along. Dogs and cats alike will be attracted to all of the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen this week. Turkey, gravy and lots of side dishes will smell irresistible.
But owners should know that it’s not just chocolate that is dangerous for pets to ingest.Onions,garlic,chives,avocados, grapes (and raisins) can all be deadly. Sugar substitutes, especially xylitol, are also very dangerous. Coffee and caffeinated drinks, like chocolate, contain a chemical that causes illness, seizures and even death. A complete list can be found here: www.aspca.org/pet-care/aspca-poisoncontrol/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets.
Here are some ways to keep your pet safe during holiday preparation and gatherings.
• Create a safe space for your pets: a quiet room away from all the bustle and noise. Fill it with their favorite toys, food and water, and a cozy place to curl up and relax. If you crate your dog, place their crate in this “safe room” a few days before the gathering.
• Wall off the kitchen: Put up baby gates in front of each entrance while you’re preparing food.
• Keep a close eye on pets: Have a family member monitor your pets while preparations are underway.
• Give them attention and cuddles. Before and after the big gathering, spend time with your pets. They’ll settle back into their home routine afterward much more easily.

A Walk, a Run, and Winterfest in LeRoy Winter on the Move:
BY SOPHIA KOVATCH
LeRoy’s annual Winterfest celebration will take place on Saturday, December 6, with holiday fun for all ages across the community. Events will take place at local churches, businesses, and public spaces throughout the day, and the community will gather at Trigon Park in the evening for the tree lighting ceremony. e day’s festivities also include a 5K run and a one-mile memorial walk, both of which support local families in need during the holiday season.
e Jingle All the Way 5K kicks off the Winterfest activities in the morning. It’s been a hallmark of Winterfest activities for about 10 years, with the goal to help local families through the LeRoy Food Pantry, says Karen Samis, who has coordinated the run with her husband since 2020. Runners bring toy and food donations when they show up to the race, and proceeds from this race and the Oatka 5K, which Samis also coordinates, all stay in LeRoy. Two years ago, the Jingle All the Way 5K became the first race in the Rochester Running Company’s winter race series, and LeRoy welcomed over 200 runners. Samis says, “We are teaming up with them again this year, so hopefully we will have a good turnout. It’s cool to have our own races here in town.”
During the day, eventgoers can find cra vendors, kidfriendly activities, and business specials up and down Main Street, and, this year for the first time, a hayride for families. “A lot of the businesses, village and town personnel, and community members come together to make this event possible,” says Katie Bonacquisti, who joined the Winterfest committee in 2022. She had just joined the LeRoy Business Council when she heard the event needed more help. “I wanted to become a part of more community things because I had the time, I am from LeRoy, and I saw the opportunity to help,” she says. Bonacquisti helps gather information about what local groups are planning and helps promote them under the umbrella of Winterfest, and the committee also plans some of its own events.
Madison Masters
At 3 p.m., the community is invited to take part in the 5th Annual Maddie Masters Memorial Walk, honoring a LeRoy high schooler who passed away suddenly in the fall of 2020. Community members can decorate a sign to line the walking route for a $10 donation, and walkers are asked to bring a donation for a local family in need to honor Maddie’s giving spirit. “Maddie was one of those rare people that could light up any room she walked into,” says Gabby Keister, who initiated the walk and whose daughter was a classmate of Maddie’s. “We wanted to do anything we could to ensure her impact continued to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew her.”
“Each December, people walk through town, share memories, and help support a local family in need,” says Kate Cross, Maddie’s mom. “It’s not just about remembering Maddie. It’s about continuing the kind of kindness she showed every day.” Last year, walkers gathered at the American Legion following the walk to spend time together sharing food as well as stories and memories of Maddie.
“It’s truly moving to see how many people still show up, speak her name, and carry her legacy forward.”

e day’s activities will conclude in Trigon Park for the annual tree lighting ceremony. Bonacquisti says the committee is most excited for the tree lighting event. is year, they partner with the high school’s Music Boosters for the tree fundraiser in Trigon Park, in which local businesses and families buy a tree and decorate it for the holiday season. e local Walk of Hope committee sets up luminaries decorated in honor of those who have passed away, adding even more beautiful lights to the ceremony in the park. During the event, families can enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, and s’more, a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and music performances from high school students. “It’s a fun family-friendly event to wrap up the day,” Bonacquisti says.
ere are plenty of ways to enjoy LeRoy and spend time with the community during this year’s Winterfest. Explore Main Street, join runners and walkers in supporting local families, and catch the tree lighting in Trigon Park in evening to welcome the start of the holiday season.

‘Lactose Intolerance’ Proves To Be A Casein Sensitivity
DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife believed that she had lactose intolerance. After some tests, it was found that she was sensitive to casein rather than lactose. Are there other things in cow’s milk besides lactose and casein that people are sensitive to? -- K.A.
ANSWER: There are three main components of cow’s milk that can lead people to having a bad reaction.
Lactose is a type of compound sugar called a “disaccharide,” which includes two separate single sugars (“monosaccharides”) -- glucose and galactose -- that are connected by a chemical bond. This chemical bond is broken by a specific enzyme called lactase. Deficiency is rare in children but common in adults, especially in people with ancestry from Asia and Africa, as well as Native Americans.
Without the ability to break lactose into its component monosaccharides, a person is likely to get abdominal cramps, gas and diarrhea if they consume lactose. This is because lactose passes into the colon, where colonic bacteria will digest the lactose and produce gas (as well as discomfort). There is a wide variety in the amount that people need to consume to have symptoms, with some people being exquisitely sensitive and others needing a fair amount of it to develop symptoms.
Milk allergies are different. Eighty percent of adults with cow’s milk allergies are women. Cow’s milk allergies are most commonly due to the protein casein (the “curds” of the nursery rhyme) but may also be due to whey protein. People who are allergic to whey protein often have less symptoms if the protein is heated or cooked (for example, milk in baked goods) or if it is changed by digestive enzymes, as in yogurt.
Cow’s milk allergies can have various symptoms. They can be serious and cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. But they may also cause symptoms that people might not recognize as a food allergy, such as skin changes, symptoms of the mouth and esophagus, and food- and exercise-associated anaphylaxis. Some people develop eosinophilic esophagitis, which can resemble gastroesophageal reflux disease; this causes heartburn that doesn’t respond to the usual treatments.
This is only a brief overview of a complicated topic that generally requires an expert in allergy and immunology to help diagnose and manage the condition.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a “trigger thumb.” My thumb no longer bends at the middle joint and hurts. Exercise doesn’t seem to work. I tried physical therapy, too, without results. -- A.M.
ANSWER: Stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, aka trigger finger, is a common issue that I see very frequently in my clinical practice. Symptoms usually start with some “catching” or locking of the fingers while flexing and extending one or more of them. This may progress to discomfort or pain, and it can progress to the point where a finger or thumb is locked in place and needs to be bent by the other hand.
Initial treatment includes rest and anti-inflammatories. Some experts use a splint to reduce the trauma from repetitive movement in the pulley system of the hand. If conservative treatment isn’t effective, most hand experts will try an injection of a steroid into the area of the pulley and tendon. Surgery is an option if two or three injections haven’t solved the problem.
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

Essentially, autumn is the quiet completion of spring and summer. Spring was all eagerness and beginnings, summer was growth and flowering. Autumn is the achievement summarized, the harvested grain, the ripened apple,thegrapeinthewinepress. Autumn is the bright leaf in the woodland, the opened husk on the bittersweet berry, the fruit of asters at the roadside.
~Hal Borland, September 1967
