A SWEET TREAT FOR GET-TOGETHERS
Yields 64
Crust
21/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cups butter or margarine, melted
Filling
3 cups pecan halves, divided
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, optional
First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

Lindsay Agness and Her Lifelong Passion for Fly Fishing
BY SUZIE WELLS
Lindsay Agness’ journey into the world of fishing began on Honeoye Lake in New York, where her grandfather introduced her to the peaceful yet thrilling art of angling. Her childhood memories are filled with days spent spin fishing for panfish in the Finger Lakes, a passion that later blossomed into a lifelong commitment to the sport of fly fishing. Today, Lindsay is not only a New York State Licensed Fishing Guide, but she also plays an influential role in various fishing and conservation organizations across the state.
Lindsay’s career reflects a perfect fusion of passion and dedication. As a guide, her expertise shines when she’s fishing for Brown Trout and Steelhead in her home waters, although her travels have taken her and her husband, Dave, to fish as far away as Mexico and Alaska.
Her love for the sport is evident, but it’s her commitment to giving back that truly sets her apart. In 2022, Lindsay was inducted into the New York State Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame for her exceptional contributions to outdoor sports and conservation efforts. is honor reflected her lifelong devotion to sharing her knowledge with others and preserving the outdoor heritage she loves so much.
Education is another major pillar in Lindsay’s legacy. Serving as Vice President for youth education on the board of the New York State Council of Trout Unlimited, she has been a fierce advocate for youth involvement in the sport. From mentoring chapters across the state to acting as a camp counselor at the TU Teen Trout Camp and working across the state as a champion for the TU Costa 5 Rivers College fishing clubs, Lindsay is passionate about passing down her skills and knowledge to younger generations. Her work with the “Trout in the Classroom” program, and her role in earning Girl Scouts their Fly Fishing STREAM badges, demonstrate her commitment to making the sport accessible and enjoyable for children.
One of Lindsay’s most heartwarming contributions is her involvement with e Mayfly Project, where she mentors foster children in the Rochester area through fly fishing. Similarly, her work with Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing reflects her dedication to using the sport to help veterans recover physically and emotionally. For over a decade, Lindsay has volunteered as a guide for disabled military service members and veterans, providing them with the healing power of nature and community.
Lindsay and her husband Dave voluntarily started the fly fishing program for wounded veterans for OASIS (Outdoor Adventures for Sacrifice in Service) Adaptive Sports, Inc., now merged with CompeerCORPS, offering fly fishing instruction, equipment, and support to disabled military veterans in a variety of sports activities.
Lindsay’s work extends far beyond local initiatives. She has made significant contributions at the national level, particularly with her Trout Unlimited Women’s Fly Fishing program. By developing training materials and templates for women’s fishing classes, Lindsay has helped expand women’s participation in the sport across the country. rough her leadership, over 350 women have learned how to fly fish, and the program has grown to include three annual events across New York State.
Her passion for preserving the history of fly fishing led her to serve as a Board of Trustee at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum, where she worked alongside renowned fly fisher Joan Wulff. Lindsay’s involvement with the museum demonstrates her commitment to not only teaching the sport but also ensuring its rich history is passed down to future generations.
As a conservationist, educator, and mentor, Lindsay Agness embodies the spirit of fly fishing. Her work with children, veterans, and women reflects a deep belief in the healing power of nature and the importance of community. Whether she’s casting a line in the Finger Lakes or mentoring a new generation of anglers, Lindsay’s contributions to the sport are truly extraordinary. rough her tireless efforts, she transformed her own love for fishing into meaningful service, helping countless others find joy, solace, and purpose on the water.

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ANIMAL TRAINERS
Animal trainers can address any type of behavior. According to the Animal Behavior Institute, trainers who work with dogs, cats, parrots, or other companion animals must have a thorough and detailed knowledge of animal behavior. Pet owners who have successfully housebroken puppies in the past may think they can do it again with relative ease, but no two puppies are the same. Techniques that worked with one dog will not necessarily work with another. Trainers recognize this and have an array of techniques within their arsenal, making them capable of addressing and correcting any type of behavior.

TREATING A CAT’S INGROWN TOENAIL
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I don’t know how it happened, because I check and trim my cat’s nails regularly. Today, “Sparks” cried out in pain when I checked his right paw, and that’s when, on closer inspection, I saw that one of the middle claws had grown around, down and into the pad of his paw! How did I miss it? And what can I do to fix this? -- Sharon in Bennington, Vermont
DEAR SHARON: Cats are very good at hiding illness and injury. Plus, some cats have longer tu s of fur growing between their claws, and this can obscure nail problems. Add that to the routine struggle of trimming a cat’s nails while they wriggle and nip at you to try and escape, and it’s surprisingly easy to miss a claw or two.
Have a partner help you by gently holding your cat in a comfortable position while you inspect his paw more closely. Use a magnifying glass to get a better look at the ingrown claw. If the claw has not penetrated the skin of your cat’s pad -- it may be pushing against the skin -- you should be able to safely trim the nail away from the pad. Use sturdy nail nippers made for cats, and trim only a small part of the nail -- enough to release the pressure on the pad. Revisit the nail in two days to trim it back further, and monitor closely from now on. However, if the claw has penetrated the skin, removing it can be painful and stressful for your cat. Make an appointment with the veterinarian, who will be able to numb the area slightly, trim the claw, and remove the part remaining in the pad while preventing infection.

CHIMNEY/REPAIR
STORING TOOLS PROPERLY REDUCES INJURY RISK AND PROMOTES ORGANIZATION
Whether homeowners have a handful of tools or an entire collection of equipment, proper storage of these items means the difference between staying organized and safe or having to waste time looking for tools and running the risk of injury.
Tools often gravitate to other rooms of the house or become misplaced. When they’re brought out for use, tools may not be returned to the toolbox or shed, taking up residence in drawers or closets or just being left out in the open.
Improper storage of tools also may create safety risks for the persons doing the renovation and other members of the household. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that hundreds of thousands of injuries treated at emergency rooms are related to power tools and workshop equipment. While the majority of these injuries occur while using the tools, improper tool storage can still cause injury. By taking care of tools and keeping them orderly, homeowners can lengthen the life expectancy of their tools and reduce the likelihood of tool-related injury.

RESTORE RUSTY TOOLS
Many people may be tempted to discard rusty tools that have gone unused and sat in a garage or shed for a significant period of time. But tools encrusted with rust do not need to be relegated to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have to toil for hours scraping and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar. Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part of the tool. Soak the tool overnight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water and dry thoroughly. Then return it to regular usage.

Join gyms that offer eco-friendly exercise equipment. More and more gyms are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprints, and eco-friendly fitness enthusiasts can look for such facilities before purchasing or renewing their gym memberships. Some efforts gym owners make to reduce the carbon footprint of their facilities include using only ecofriendly, biodegradable cleaning products; installing low-flow toilets, faucets and shower heads in facility restrooms and bathing areas; and installing user-powered cardiovascular machinery that consume considerably less energy than traditional machines. Inquire about a facility’s carbon footprint before purchasing a membership.
Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?
HEEL
SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS
is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.
• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.
• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.
• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.
• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

Dental inlays and onlays are similar dental restorations used to fix damaged chewing surfaces on teeth. Both offer long-term solutions for tooth and chewing surface damage but are used to treat different problems. Inlays are used for fixing internal damage, while onlays address surface problems. Onlays are usually bigger than inlays and work better for restoring the cusps of damaged teeth by capping part or all of the tooth’s surface. Inlays are better for filling large cavities between the cusps. Inlays and onlays provide a hybrid solution for teeth that have too much damage for a filling but not enough for a crown. They are custom poured, stronger than fillings, and color-matched to your other teeth for a seamless appearance.

or for a simple cleaning, our personal, casual, and relaxed style in providing quality dental care will help give you a positive experience.

P.S. The first inlays, made from gold foil, were used as far back as 1450. Porcelain inlays were first used around 1820, while gold and platinum inlays became available around 1880.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Having Surgery for a Hernia Could Be Riskier Than Living With It
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an 85-year-old man. I’m in good health, and I exercise and swim at the gym for 3 hours every other day. I am not overweight, and the only prescription I have is a nose spray. I do have mild idiopathic neuropathy, but I’m still quite agile and mobile. I have a hernia in my lower abdomen. I had one just like it on the right side that was repaired 35 years ago. My family doctor seems to think that having surgery at my age could be riskier than living with the hernia. The pain isn’t terrible, but it is frequently uncomfortable. Should I consider surgery? --
C.E.K.
ANSWER: You should consider it to the point where you consult a surgeon. The operative risk is relatively small, and despite your age, it sounds like you are in good shape. However, after consulting with a surgeon, you may decide against surgery. The most important factor is how much the pain from the hernia bothers you. In general, we recommend surgical repair for symptomatic hernias, as the pain tends to gradually increase over years. No surgery comes without a risk, and your family doctor is right that it is riskier to have the surgery than it would be to live with the pain. But the risk is not enormous, so if the pain is to the point where the hernia is bothering you a lot, it is certainly worth discussing the risks and benefits of surgery with an expert surgeon.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I saw a post somewhere saying that we should throw away all vitamins or supplements with magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide or microcrystalline cellulose. This means I would need to discard vitamins, antacids, and even my glucose tabs that I occasionally need for reactive hypoglycemia. Do you have any guidance on this? -- L.D.
ANSWER: In 1538, a Swiss physician with the pseudonym “Paracelsus” articulated the basic premise of toxicology: The dose makes the poison. This remains critical today.
Magnesium stearate is commonly used in food, cosmetics and medicines. It is generally regarded as safe at doses below 175 grams for an average-sized adult. A typical supplement might contain as much as 20 mg. It would take well over 8,000 doses at once for a person to reach a dangerous level.
Titanium dioxide is used as a food coloring, in sunscreen, and in medications like styptic pencils. It has long been considered safe in the United States and Canada. But its status in Europe has recently been changed, so it is no longer recommended as a food additive. The tiny doses of it in medications and dietary supplements are very unlikely to cause harm, but many manufacturers in the U.S. are beginning to stop using it, more due to perception than proven harm (which there is no evidence for).
Microcrystalline cellulose is simply an indigestible fiber source made from wood pulp. It is not absorbed. It is used in many foods and as a filler in tablets and capsules. You can also buy it as a supplement or use it as a thickener in cooking. I don’t have any concerns with magnesium stearate or microcrystalline cellulose at the kinds of doses used in pharmaceuticals and supplements. I also don’t have any concern with food-grade titanium dioxide as a coloring agent in food or supplements.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

TRICKS TO KEEP FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FRESH
Make fresh cuts in stems: Think back to the last time you purchased a fresh Christmas tree. What is the key to ensuring it gets enough water while on display? You guessed it: making a fresh cut in the trunk of the tree. The same concept applies to floral arrangements. Use a sharp scissor or pruning shears to cut about one inch from the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. Continue this process every three days or so. The 45-degree angle prevents the stem from squishing during the cut and enables it to absorb more water.

Thank you
Please Enforce Political Sign Laws
Many thanks to the lady on August 20th at Country Max who paid for my plant spray. It was very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Thank you to everyone who stopped to ask if I was okay after being hit by another vehicle on a busy road on the the evening of September 4th. Many thanks as well to all the first responders who helped keep both me and my dog safe and calm. It was much appreciated!
Local zoning law states that any and all political signage are prohibited to be displayed more than one month prior to its corresponding election. Yet we see political signs and flags for months and sometimes years, throughout our neighborhoods and roadways. It is not up to our neighbors to police these infringements. It is the duty of local zoning officials including inspectors and zoning boards. Please enforce political sign infringements as you would any other zoning code.
Mind your own business and Judge not lest ye be judged
My best friend of thirty years recently went through a divorce (I’d say sad, bitter, nasty, but all the adjectives seem obvious and unnecessary) and all but a few of her friends have left her, not wishing to “pick sides” or not wanting to be involved with either party for fear of contamination. Truly so many people are divorced nowadays, why does anyone treat another like a leper? She’s a strong woman, keeping her head high, trying to do her best for herself and her children, even as the world now seems so cold, lonely, and harsh against her just because her marriage didn’t last. Come on, people. Help lift each other up. Don’t tear people down when they’re already feeling so low.
Suicide Prevention Month is an opportune time to focus on strategies that can help prevent suicide and support mental health. Here are some actionable tips to consider:
Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about the warning signs of suicide, such as changes in behavior, mood swings, withdrawal from social activities, and expressions of hopelessness. Share this knowledge with friends, family, and colleagues to help increase awareness and understanding.
Open Up Conversations: Encourage open discussions about mental health and suicide. Let people in your life know that it’s okay to talk about their feelings and struggles. Creating a safe space for these conversations can make it easier for individuals to seek help when needed.
Offer Support: Be attentive to the needs of those around you. If you notice someone struggling, reach out and offer support. Sometimes, just knowing that someone cares and is willing to listen can make a significant difference.
Advocate for Mental Health Policies: Support and advocate for policies that promote mental health and provide better access to mental health care. Advocacy can help improve systems and resources that are vital for preventing suicide.
Learn How to Respond in a Crisis:
Familiarize yourself with how to respond if someone you know is in immediate danger. Knowing the steps to take, such as contacting a crisis hotline or seeking emergency help, can be critical in preventing a tragedy.
By integrating these tips into your approach during Suicide Prevention Month, you can contribute to a supportive environment that promotes mental health and reduces the risk of suicide.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline:
If your life or someone else’s is in imminent danger, please call 911. If you are in crisis and need immediate help, please call: 988
Ahiddenfireburnsperpetuallyupon the hearth of the world.... In autumn this great conflagration becomes especially manifest. Then the flame that is slowly and mysteriously consuming every green thing bursts into vivid radiance. Every blade of grass and every leaf in the woodlands is cast into the great oven of Nature; and the bright colours of their fading are literally the flames of their consuming. The golden harvest-fields are glowing in the heart of the furnace.... By this autumn fire God every year purges the floor of nature. All effete substances that have served their purpose in the old form are burnt up. Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire.
~Hugh Macmillan
HOBBIES FOR DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES
Men and women who have experienced great success in the world of business can pursue a host of low-stress opportunities with a goal of sharing their experiences with the next generation of business leaders. Teaching a course at a local college or university is one such avenue, and executives can even offer to work with high school students interested in pursuing careers in business. Teaching and mentoring might be less traditional hobbies than crocheting or woodworking, but they still provide a way for adults to pursue their passions away from the constraints of the office.

How to Navigate Potential Supply Shortages this Holiday Season
• Shop Local. By mid-spring 2022, congestion at ports on the west coast of the United States had lessened significantly. But the same could not be said for ports on the east coast. Many big box retailers rely on imports to fill their shelves, and that could make it hard for such sellers to deliver items in time for the holiday season. Shopping local and buying items directly off the shelf can ensure no one is given an IOU this holiday season.
• Give Gi Cards. If shipping estimates make it unlikely that gi s will arrive on time for the holiday season, pivot to gi cards. Put the amount of money you would have spent on the item on the card instead.
• Ship Directly to Recipients. It might not offer the same heartwarming charm as handing a loved one a gi in person, but shipping gi s directly to their recipients increases the likelihood that the person will receive the gi by Chanukah or Christmas morning. Many online retailers now offer wrapping at additional cost, and shoppers can splurge and have directly shipped gi s wrapped to add a more traditional feel to gi -giving.
• Give Homemade Gi s. Homemade gi s, whether it’s baked goods or cra s, don’t need to be shipped, so there’s no way such items will spend the holiday season sitting on a ship in a congested port. If you choose to make cra s, decide early what you want create so you can secure all of the necessary supplies in plenty of time to deliver the items during Chanukah or on Christmas morning.

Have Not Forgotten and We Will Never Forget
BY SENATOR PAM HELMING
On a sunny September 6, I watched my first grandchild – my granddaughter, Bristol – get on the bus for her first day of Kindergarten.
I was thinking about that moment as I reflect on 9/11. Because on September 11, 2001, I was my driving my own young kids, who were just about Bristol’s age, to school.
I was thinking about how the world changed for us and for our kids. How 9/11 shaped the world my granddaughter and my two grandsons are growing up in now.
We all remember it. A bright, beautiful, sunny morning 23 years ago. We remember where we were when news of the attack broke through on our television screens and radios. Social media, of course, was not yet widely used.
When I heard the radio reports in my car, I remember looking up at the sky – a picture-perfect day. I thought, this can’t be happening. But the images I later saw on television confirmed it. A staggering 3,000 innocent American lives taken. ousands more injured.
responders and members of our nation’s military, continue to put their lives on the line for us so we may live safe and free.
And to this day, many of the brave first responders who rushed into the burning buildings continue to deal with life-altering health conditions. Too many have died as a result. All have suffered.
Two days a er that first day of school, I spoke at the Patriot Day service at Bible Baptist Church in Williamson.
It was probably because I was in a church that I thought about Father Mychal Judge, the New York City Fire Department chaplain who was the first identified casualty of the September 11 attacks.
Father Mychal was tending to victims in the North Tower when he was hit by a downpour of debris as the South Tower collapsed. I’m sure we all remember that image of the rescue workers carrying his body from the rubble.
In a news story on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one of his friends, Father Dominic Monti, said that it was still a very difficult picture to see. en he said, “It’s death, but it’s death that came out of love, out of service.”
Service. A simple yet profound word.
We honor the service of our firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, all the rescue workers of 9/11. e service of the men and women of our Armed Forces. We give thanks to those who answered the call to respond that day and to those who answered the call to serve in the months and years that followed.
9/11 inspired a new generation of service in our nation. ink about all those who decided, just days a er 9/11, to join the military, volunteer with their local fire departments, donate their money to support victims’ families, give their time to support non-profits.
One way we can continue to honor those who lost their lives is by showing our appreciation and respect for those who have taken a vow to serve us today. ese men and women, including our first
We can all show our respect and appreciation for them. In our neighborhoods and communities, in the halls of government, in our churches, in our classrooms, and at our dinner tables.
We Will Never Forget has become the anthem of 9/11.
Etched in our memory is the image of the rescue workers hanging the American flag and the banner that read “We Will Never Forget.” e photo taken of this moment would become one of the most iconic images in U.S. history.
And we will never forget. Just as we will never cower to those who attack our country and attempt to strip away our freedom.
We are strong. We are resilient. We are the United States of America. We are proud Americans.
To all of you who serve our community, please know you have my unwavering support and gratitude. I will never forget your sacrifice, your bravery, your commitment to serve others. Indeed, that is life’s highest calling.
To be a proud American is to never forget. I am proud to be an American.

If you are into skiing and snowboarding, you probably know that ‘bluebird days’ is also used to refer to days with sunshine, good visibility, and fresh snow!
Bluebirds are cherished for their beauty, devotion to their family, and delightful singing. These tiny creatures remind us of the small joys that we get to experience every day.
Easy to spot.
A male bluebird has a brilliant blue back and flame-orange belly, while a female bluebird has duller colors than the males, much like many other birds.

It’s a state bird. The bluebird enjoys the distinction of being the state bird of Missouri.
