Thank You!
Massive Disrespect!
Thank you to the kind and generous lady who paid for my groceries at Tops.
Thank You!
Thank you to the gentleman at the local full service gas station. You helped fill my tire with air and brightened my Monday morning! I always appreciate the employees willing to stand in all weather to fill my gas tank.
To the people who think our local cemetery is a public park. From people who walk dogs there, to the people who take coins from the headstones, SHAME ON YOU! A cemetery is a place to remember and honor your past loved ones. Not a place for your dog to do its business, or for you to pick up change!
Money spent on political campaigns
It is unbelievable the amount of money spent in and on political campaigns. Millions are spent with the conventions and all the campaign mailings, along with the traveling and campaigning. All of that money could be spent in so many needed areas.
Thank businesses who support veterans. Many businesses show their gratitude to veterans by offering them free services on Veterans Day. When a local business shows its appreciation to veterans, patronize that business and let them know you appreciate their effortstohelpveterans.

How Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Affects Older Women
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had all the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) when I was younger. I could go six months without having my period. I had all the other symptoms, too, like oily skin and facial hair. It’s a terrible thing for a young teenage girl. I also had trouble getting pregnant; though, fortunately, Clomid worked well for me during both of my pregnancies.
My question is, how does PCOS affect older women? My doctor doesn’t know. Is this why my hair is thinning so badly? What else can I expect now that I’m older? (I’m 66 now, and I had menopause at 51.) What can I do about it? I still have hot flashes and thinning hair. -- L.L.P.
ANSWER: I’m sorry that you aren’t getting good advice. PCOS doesn’t go away after menopause, but it’s harder to diagnose. There aren’t good data to help guide treatment, so understanding what’s happening at a biochemical level is important. Although cysts in the ovaries are usually seen with PCOS, the most important parts of the diagnosis have more to do with androgen excess (male hormones) and abnormal ovulation. Insulin resistance is also an important part of PCOS, with or without obesity.
The androgen excess is responsible for oily skin and facial hair, and it’s partially responsible for insulin resistance. As women age, most androgen levels tend to return to normal, but women still may have some residual symptoms. Although any woman can get female-pattern hair loss (overall thinning of the hair, often worst in the center part), women with PCOS are at a higher risk for developing this type.
However, women with PCOS may also occasionally develop male-pattern hair loss (a receding hairline and thinning on the crown) when the ovaries produce excess male hormones and fewer female hormones. Treatment with the antiandrogen medication finasteride seems particularly promising, and topical (or low-dose oral) minoxidil can be helpful. A dermatologist who specializes in hair loss should be the expert in the management of PCOS-associated female-pattern hair loss.
In addition, the excess male hormones may play a role in increasing a postmenopausal woman’s risk for heart disease. HDL cholesterol levels tend to be lower in postmenopausal women with PCOS. The standard calculators to help a clinician decide when to start medication (such as a statin) to reduce the risk of heart disease are likely to underestimate the risk. Thus, diet and exercise are very important for women with PCOS. Hot flashes do not seem to be worsened by PCOS. Although hormone replacement can be used in women with hot flashes and PCOS, it is especially risky in a woman of 66 due to the increased risk of heart disease. Nonhormonal treatment, such as venlafaxine or fezolinetant, is my recommendation.

DID YOU KNOW?
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are significantly higher than the rates among the general population. USDVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

Apply lessons learned during the pandemic. A recent Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. government and Eurostat data found that roughly 9.6 million workers in the United States lost their jobs in the first three quarters of 2020. That period coincides with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. When forced to confront sudden and unexpected job losses, millions of individuals learned how to get by on less income. Cost-saving measures adopted during the pandemic can be continued or reimplemented, helping individuals to combat higher energy costs and other rising expenses.

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS
Be especially careful with power tools. Power tools can do a lot and they’re fun to use. But it’s important that DIYers do not let fun distract them from safety. The Power Tool Institute urges power tool users to wear personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection and a dust mask, whenever using power tools. The PTI also advises users to make sure tools are powered down before plugging them in and to inspect the tool before using it. Inspections can confirm that all guards are in place and that tools are up to the task at hand. Much like it’s unsafe to overreach on a ladder, overreaching when using power tools increase the risk for mistakes, accidents and injuries.

* For every degree you lower your thermostat during the heating season, you generally reduce your energy costs by 3% daily. Also, turn down the temperature setting on your hot water heater.
* Here’s a no-fail strategy for raking up leaves: Rake leaves into a single long line, preferably onto a sidewalk. en turn a large garbage can on its side and sweep the leaf pile into the can, breaking to empty leaves into bags as needed. e raking goes much quicker when done in “stripes.” And bagging is faster as well.
* If you have an ink stain on fabric, try blotting it with hairspray. Saturate the ink spot with hairspray and blot using a clean white cloth or non-decorated paper towel. Repeat until all the ink is gone. Make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.

Wreaths
Across America: Remember • Honor • Teach
BY TOWN OF CANANDAIGUA’S WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE
As we appreciate Autumn in our beautiful region this season, let’s not forget the history that lies beneath the rolling hills and pretty lakes. Many of the little cemeteries tucked away in fields and off the beaten paths are the resting places of those who le farms, businesses and families to secure us peace and freedom. e stones and markers of those who fought in the Revolutionary War to our presentday conflicts are there and hopefully not forgotten.
ese stones have much to tell us about the individuals’ lives. Beyond birth and death dates, they o en provide relationships. In addition, epitaphs, together with public records, can provide a record of war, the economy, and the movement of people. Most older burial grounds were originally bequeathed to family and neighbors by private landowners. When cemeteries closed, they were passed on to town ownership, as were the cemeteries in the Town of Canandaigua.
Wreaths Across America (WAA) started as a simple gesture of thanksthathasgrownintoanational,year-longmovementofdedicated volunteers and communities coming together to remember the nation’s fallen and honor their service and to teach the next generation about the value of freedom. is year, there will be more than 4,500 participating locations, placing more than three million handmade veterans’ wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, December 14, 2024 – with more than three million volunteers coming together. Participating locations are in all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and on foreign soil. ese wreaths are delivered through the generosity of hundreds of volunteer truck drivers and their companies.
e mission of Wreaths Across America is to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom.
For the second year, two historic cemeteries in the Town of Canandaigua – Hunn Cemetery and Academy Cemetery – will host ceremonies on Saturday, December 14 at 12 Noon in conjunction with others across the nation, including Arlington National Cemetery. Hunn Cemetery, located at 5821 County Rd 32, contains the graves of 14 Revolutionary War veterans and one veteran from the War of 1812. Academy Cemetery, at 5200-5298 Old West Lake Road, is the resting place of 48 veterans and honors seven Civil War veterans on a monument dedicated on October 8, 1923.
A er the ceremony, guests present may place a wreath on a veteran’s grave, say their name aloud, and thank them for their service. Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and Civil War re-enactors, as well as guest speakers, will salute those who simply did their duty when called upon.
e goal for Hunn Cemetery (NYHUNN) is to raise enough funds to place 15 sponsored veterans’ wreaths. e goal for Academy Cemetery (NYACAD) is to place 49 sponsored veterans’ wreaths at
TTEE
the monument and the headstones. It’s important to remember all local heroes laid to rest in our cemeteries, to ensure that the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.
Other cemeteries in Ontario County also take part in National Wreaths Across America Day. Among them are Farmington’s South Farmington Friends Cemetery (NYSFCF); and Middlesex’s Overacker Cemetery (NYOVCK).
A er a ceremony at the historic Bristol Center Church, the Bristol Hills Historical Society (NY0417P) and volunteers will place wreaths at their area cemeteries: the Bristol Center Cemetery and the Vincent Hill Cemetery (NYBRCT); the Coye Cemetery and the Wilder Cemetery (NYCOYE); and the Evergreen Cemetery of Bristol (NYEVGN).
In Victor, the Town Hall (NYVTHV) will host a ceremony, while three locations place wreaths immediately following their ceremonies: Boughton Hill Cemetery (NYBHLL), St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery (NYSPKC), and Village of Victor Cemetery (NYVGVC).
Today, many of us go about our busy lives without thinking much about the heritage war veterans secured for us. A ceremony, such as those on National Wreaths Across America Day, makes us step aside from our routine and focus on something else. As we place wreaths on veterans’ graves and say the names of these men and women, followed with a word of thanks for their service, we pay honor to those who have . . . and still do . . . heed a higher call.
e outstanding success of WAA is a testament to the fact that many Americans value the importance of this outward sign of inner gratitude. Priorities change with age, and honoring our heroes seems to come more naturally as we grow older. WAA’s year-round events enable us to TEACH the younger generation by example.
All National Wreaths Across America Day events are non-political, non-religiousevents,andopentoeveryone.Ifyouwouldliketosponsor a wreath, or sign up to volunteer, visit www.WreathsAcrossAmerica. org. We look forward to having you join us on December 14, 2024 at noon to celebrate our region’s rich patriotic history to Remember, Honor and Teach.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
MY NEIGHBOR WON’T STOP FEEDING STRAY CATS
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My next-door neighbor puts out food for all of the outdoor cats in the area. at includes a lot of strays who are now mingling with the cats who have homes. She even buys specialty cat food if she thinks they don’t like what she’s offering. I think this is a dangerous situation, because the cats may be exposed to diseases from the strays. What should I say to her to stop this? -- Concerned Next Door
DEAR NEXT DOOR: If you’re on polite terms with the neighbor, go over and talk to her about the issue, calmly. Explain your concerns and let her know that some of those cats have homes and owners who may not be happy about their cats being fed somewhere else. However, if you’re not comfortable speaking directly with her -- or if the conversation accomplishes nothing -- you will need to consider other routes.
If you have a neighborhood HOA, bring up the issue in a community meeting. e cats’ owners may not be aware of what’s going on. If you don’t have an HOA, try discussing the issue with the other owners directly. Explain that their cats are at risk of contracting diseases common among strays, like FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) or could be injured in a territorial fight. e least painful solution is for cat owners to keep their outdoor cats inside and away from the neighbor. en contact your local animal control. Now, animal control doesn’t always intervene in these situations, but if they feel that the strays are a danger to other pets, they may come out and try to trap and remove them to a shelter, or at least have a talk with your neighbor about putting food out.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Embrace relaxation methods. The APA recommends professionals coping with workplace stress embrace techniques that can effectively alleviate stress. Such techniques include meditation and deep-breathing exercises and can help workers develop their ability to focus purposefully on a single activity. That improved focus may help workers better navigate hectic working environments without succumbing to the stress such environments can produce.

ARE POINSETTIAS POISONOUS?
The National Capital Poison Center notes that, in most cases, exposure to any part of a poinsettia plant in children or pets has little, if any, effect. However, if the plant is swallowed, some people and pets may experience symptoms including nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Some who touch the plant may develop a rash after contact.
According to Food Institute, industry experts suggest the pumpkin spice “flavor profile is so popular because it evokes and capitalizes upon positive feelings associated with the fall season.” How do you feel about pumpkin spice flavored products?
- Love them – I try everything pumpkin spice!
- Like them – I enjoy a few items each season
- Indifferent – I don’t mind them, but I don’t seek them out
- Dislike them – I avoid pumpkin spice
- Strongly dislike – No pumpkin spice for me, ever!

According to the National Confectioners Association poll, more than half of all parents say they steal from their children’s Halloween candy. What do or did you do with your child/ren’s collection?
43.8% I openly take candy as the Parent Tax
31.3% I sneak a few pieces of candy from my child/ren’s candy
6.3% I don’t touch any of their candy
18.8% My child/ren don’t collect candy on Halloween
Autumn is springtime in reverse. ~Terri Guillemets, “Falling up,” 1999
While poinsettias are not deadly, the NCPC still advises those who plant to include the plant in their holiday decor to take every measure necessary to prevent children and pets from swallowing it. Placing poinsettias beyond the reach of kids and pets is one simple way to accomplish just that.
