HALLOWEEN PARTY POINTERS
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
WHY IS MY CAT SCRATCHING SO MUCH?
Plan rides home. If alcohol will be served at the party, make a plan to get guests home safely, whether driving them yourself or keeping a list of cab companies at the ready. End the party early enough if it is a weeknight and school or work awaits in the morning.
Send us a photo! and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it!
Submit at: gvpennysaver.com under Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I noticed that my long-haired cat, Charlie, is scratching many times per day. He also is shedding more than usual -- mostly undercoat, rather than hair. What’s going on? I can’t see any evidence of fleas on his coat or skin. -- Dan in Colorado Springs
DEAR DAN: Fleas are o en the first thing we think of when a cat starts scratching incessantly, but other conditions could be causing skin irritation. And it may be hard to see lesions or hot spots, especially in long-haired cats. Charlie’s undercoat is coming out because he’s really scratching those spots.
e best thing to do is take Charlie to the veterinarian. Some itching issues have an external cause and can be eased pretty quickly. But some chronic conditions and diseases have itching as one symptom, and only your vet can diagnose these.
Make sure to tell the veterinarian where exactly Charlie is scratching the most. e vet, with an assistant holding Charlie still, will check these areas more closely for broken skin, lesions, rash and evidence of fleas. ey’ll also take skin scrapings and fur samples to see if mites are to blame or if there’s a bacterial or yeast infection. Blood samples should be taken to test for underlying medical conditions and/or specific allergies. ey may send you home with specimen kits to collect urine and poop and bring them in for analysis, too.
e vet will advise you on whether to use a prescription or over-thecounter medication to ease Charlie’s itching. When the tests come back (some may be same-day, others may need to go to a lab), they’ll know the best treatment path to take.
Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.
Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Organize a tag sale: Garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, and flea markets are great places to find preowned items. Men and women who are both bargainand eco-conscious can organize their own neighborhood sales where several houses around the neighborhood pool their items for one large sale. Bargain hunters can then peruse the collected merchandise and feel good knowing their purchases are benefitting the environment.

By Keith Roach, M.D.
Two-Year-Old
Incision
Occasionally Secretes Fluid
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old, very active male. My left Achilles tendon severed two years ago, but it was surgically repaired. I had an 8-inch incision that has totally healed, with the exception of one small area about the size of the lead of a pencil. It’s 3 inches above my heel. This small area would close up for a few days, then reopen with small amounts of off-white fluid oozing from the little hole.
Sometimes I apply Iodosorb, which keeps the area dry for a while. But, for whatever reason, showers seem to make the incision release fluid. I apply a bandage over the wound for most sporting or exercise events, just so that it doesn’t get rubbed by the top of my shoe. Is there any solution to this, or do I just have to live with it? -- R.M.
ANSWER: The Achilles tendon is a thick, tough piece of connective tissue between the calf muscles and the heel bone. It can rupture under extreme trauma (often sports injuries), in people who have weakness of the tendon, or due to treatment with antibiotics that are in the quinolone class, such as ciprofloxacin. When repairing the tendon, the surgeon uses sutures or wires to put it back together.
A residual wound defect is quite concerning to me. The foreign material in the tendon is at a high risk for infection. It’s possible that there is an infection, which led to a fistula (an abnormal connection) between the tendon.
I definitely recommend going back to see the surgeon. They may want to do further testing (possibly imaging) to see if there is any evidence of an infection in the repaired tendon.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu.

The Haunting History of Union Tavern in Sea Breeze
STORY BY SUZIE WELLS
TheUnionTaverninRochester has a rich history, dating back to the early 19th century, and an eerie reputation that keeps visitors intrigued. e building and its grounds are not just a hub for good food and drinks but are also home to numerous ghost stories that continue to stir curiosity.
According to Rochester Ghostwalks and the Haunted History Trail of New York State, the land where the Union Tavern stands today was purchased in 1819 by Sylvester Woodman, a retired sea captain and rumored ex-pirate. Woodman bought 100 acres of land, along with nearly all the shoreline of what is now the Sea Breeze area of Irondequoit. A er his wife Abigail passed in 1830, she was buried just a few hundred yards from their farmhouse, and Sylvester was laid to rest beside her years later.
e original farmhouse was torn down in the mid-1800s and replaced with a more modern brick home by Captain Samuel Bradstreet VI, a veteran of the Black Hawk War and Irondequoit Town Supervisor at the time. Bradstreet planted trees on both sides of what is now Culver Rd., and began a farmer’s life with his wife Lavinia, who worked as a tailoress. ey raised 8 children on their grand farm of 7 horses, 4 milk cows, 4 working oxen, 12 cattle, 140 sheep, 20 pigs, and wheat, corn, and oat crops. In the mid-1930s, the house transitioned from a private residence to a public establishment, serving various purposes, including apartments, restaurants, and taverns. Jim “Barney” Barnash and Steve Sahs co-owned the property and ran e Reunion Inn from 1971-2019, converting the second floor apartments into a dining room and adding a Victorian-style staircase in 1976.
Current owners, Don and Kelly Bush, purchased the establishment in 2019 and have made it a point to embrace its history, even hosting ghost story events since 2004. e Union Tavern has been a featured site for paranormal investigations, with groups such as the Monroe County Paranormal Investigators visiting the property. It was also spotlighted on Ghost Show.
e Union Tavern is a well-known stop on the Haunted History Trail of New York State, with patrons and staff reporting numerous unexplained occurrences.Fromcoldspotsandthescentofcigarettesmokeinparticular rooms to doors opening on their own, the tavern has seen its fair share of paranormal activity. According to the Haunted History Trail, visitors have reported sightings of a ghostly woman standing near the fireplace, and others have experienced being touched when no one else was around. Whistling sounds are sometimes heard coming from upstairs, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Some of these ghosts are believed to be former residents including Lavinia Bradstreet or former slaves who used e Reunion Inn as an Underground Railroad stop. e history of the building’s use as a speakeasy during Prohibition also contributes to the ghostly lore. One ghost is quite possibly “eccentric Mr. Hallie,” owner of Hallie’s Steak House, there before e Reunion Inn. A current owner has even seen a red-headed female spirit and thinks it may be his mother’s ghost.
Steve Sahs recounts that in 1973, a hand with “boney” fingers tugged on his arm as he changed a keg in the basement. “It was pretty scary,” Sahs said, “I locked myself in the walk-in cooler until I couldn’t stand the cold anymore.” Sahs says he didn’t share the experience until six months later when another employee told him a similar occurrence happened to him.
Although there is no record of the Woodmans having any children, rumors suggest that a large immovable stone in the basement may indicate the Woodmans lost a child before baptism and buried it on the property. Others speculate the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad, or that the stone hid the family’s valuables during a time when banks weren’t readily available.
Whether you’re drawn to its history or its haunted reputation, the Union Tavern offers an unforgettable experience with the possibility of an unexpected

USING LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN CANDY
Hard candies can be used to add some flavor to adult beverages. Let the candy sit in the alcohol for a few hours and the candy will dissolve. Use a coffee filter to strain out any candy remnants.
Just after the death of the flowers, And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season, When nature is all aglow—
Aglow with a mystical spendour That rivals the brightness of spring,
Aglow with a beauty more tender Than aught which fair summer could bring....

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.
FALL LAWN CARE TIPS
Aeratetheturf.Aeratingreducessoilcompacting,facilitatingthedelivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn’s roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it’s best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing.
Keep weekdays in mind: Halloween falls on a Monday in 2022 and that could be more dangerous than if it fell on a weekend. According to Autoinsurance.com, which conducted a study that analyzed 24 years’ worth of data provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), injuries to children and pedestrians in general were higher on weeknight than weekend holidays, with most accidents occurring between 6 p.m. and 7 pm - prime commuter time. Exercise extreme caution walking around this year.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* Medication labels can fade, so when you get yours, put a piece of clear tape over the instructions. is way, you’ll always be able to read the instructions.
* “During the holidays (the height of baking season for me), I keep a large plastic saltshaker filled with flour and a bit of dry rice. e rice helps the flour to shake out without getting clumped up, and I use it to dust cake pans, rolling pins, kneading boards, etc.” -- W.F. in Canada
* “One of the household cleaners I prefer comes in a spray bottle, and it’s on the expensive side. I make sure to get all of the liquid out by adding some regular glass marbles to the bottle. It displaces the liquid up, ensuring it finds the bottom of the sprayer’s suction tube.”

VENT
We just moved to [local town] and live on [local road]. At one end of the road the speed limit is 45 and at the other end it is 30. No other speed limit is posted. Cars go by our house 55 +++. We have farm tractors/joggers/bikers/horses going by all day. It should be 45 all the way til the village line. I emailed the town highway about speed limits about 3 months ago. Maybe they are way to busy to read it. Also there are many deer in the area
There is nothing quite like fall in upstate New York. We recently had visitors from out of state and they could not get over the beautiful foliage all around the area. Whether it’s the Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park or just 75 degree sunny days in mid October, sometimes we take our surroundings for granted and it takes visitors to remind us just how lucky we are.
Freedom on display
Driving down local streets and seeing neighbors displaying their choice of political sign demonstrates what a great country we live in. We can voice our opinions and coexist with a neighbor who may have differing views. I’m thankful for a democracy that encourages open dialogue, mutual respect, and allows diversity of opinions.

I recently spent a couple of days at [local casino] and was shocked and appalled that almost all the slot machines had racist imagery, specifically seeming to be aimed at Asian cultures. They feature caricatures of Japanese women and other offensive stereotypes like dragons. I was wondering if there would be interest locally in helping eradicate these awful slot machines. I love to gamble and this just puts a damper on the whole thing.
I cannot write of things which even impassioned breath cannot utter. Autumn is coming with its days of gold, its days of reverie and of you—oh, such delightful hours that my heart burns within me at the anticipation.
~Byron Caldwell Smith, letter to Kate Stephens

Help Wanted
Retired Gentlemen looking for a mature individual w/ flexible schedule who is motivated & healthy to do the following tasks as needed:
As an example: I had two Retired Gentlemen one from Canandaigua and earned $2,500 cash in 7 months, the other from Honeoye earning $3,000 cash in 9 months. Since then both have medical issues, that is why I am looking again and still cannot find ANYBODY. Not only did they respond once they followed up several times via email because they were aggressive wanting to earn cash to help me out with transportation so I hired them two different time periods. People that responded in the past likely the response went to Spam. As a result you will not hear from me. I will not respond to out of state numbers or oversea scams. MUST live in Canandaigua, Honeoye or Naples. NOT Albion, Penn Yan, Bath, Geneva or Lima.

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.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS
Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.
Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment - and eventually a lucrative career choice - attitudes about trade schools and laborintensive jobs may shift.
A great number of college graduates enter the workforce with degrees that may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and working in jobs that aren’t even in their fields of study. Career and technical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.
On the whole I take it that middle age is a happier period than youth. In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air.
