If needle retention is a goal, the Scotch pine variety has the best needle retention and a high survival rate, lending to its popularity, offers Precision Tree and Landscape. Douglas fir and balsam fir are other durable trees.

CHRISTMAS TREES
FRASER
Monday through Saturday 8am to 6pm Sunday 9am-5pm • Last day 12-22-24
Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed by the brilliance of stars twinkling amidst evergreens. To recapture the scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with lighted candles.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.
When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.
Upcycling is not just for craft projects - it offers lots of possibilities to make changes in your home décor, especially cabinets and furniture that will save money and reduce your contribution to the local landfill. Woodcraft can help you with upcycling ideas, products and advice.
* On Dec. 15, 1973, Jean Paul Getty III, the grandson of American billionaire J. Paul Getty, is found alive near Naples, Italy, five months after his kidnapping. Getty had initially refused to pay the ransom, but agreed after the boy’s severed right ear was sent to a newspaper in Rome.
* On Dec. 16, 1998, President Bill Clinton announces he has ordered air strikes against Iraq because it refused to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors. Key members of Congress accused Clinton of using the air strikes to divert attention from ongoing impeachment proceedings against him.
* On Dec. 17, 2003, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” the final film in the trilogy based on the best-selling fantasy novels by J.R.R. Tolkien, opens in theaters.

Protect Your Diesel In Cold Weather
Cold weather can cause starting problems in diesel vehicles because the fuel tends to gel. One way to combat gelling is to use an anti-gelling additive. Using an additive can improve engine start up in cold weather, improve cold flow by preventing gelling and will clean deposits from fuel injectors, combustion chambers, intake valves and piston crowns. It’s easy to forget that basic maintenance can prevent expensive repairs. Change your fuel filter. Using a dirty fuel filter can cause wax crystals to collect, cutting off the fuel. Change your motor oil and your oil filter. Depending on the climate where you live, consider changing the viscosity of your oil to help flow during the cold winter months. Engine damage can occur if the motor oil is too thick due to the cold and the flow is restricted to the engine. You should check your owner’s manual for the recommended viscosity for winter temperatures.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING FOR THOSE WHO SEEMINGLY HAVE IT ALL Consolidate memories. Technology continues to evolve, which means that the way music, videos and photos are captured and stored is always changing. Unless a person has older gear, it’s no longer possible to watch a VHS tape featuring a family member’s graduation ceremony or reprint photographs that are on film negatives. However, shoppers can work with a company that will transfer media onto a new format, such as a thumb drive or in a cloud-based account. This can be a heartfelt gift for someone who wants to reminisce.
a festive table on a dime YOU CAN DO IT!
Presentation is king when it comes to setting a memorable holiday table, and it needn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some essential tips that will garner rave reviews at your next gathering.
Mercury Glass
It’s everywhere these days. From trees, to pumpkins, to candlestick holders, it’s timeless and transitions well from season to season.
Mix and Match
Don’t be afraid to mix metallics. This gold flatware, purchased second-hand, is a standout.
Be Resourceful
Think outside the box. These heavy metal pinecones are confiscated from an old cuckoo clock. Add some freshly clipped greens and you’re good to go.
Start by scouring the house to see what you can mix and match to bring your table to life. Don’t be afraid to ask parents or grandparents for family heirlooms that they may be willing to part with.
One of the best investments you can make is solid white porcelain dishes. You can get them for a steal at most places and they’ll take you through every season. For a fun twist, layer them with whimsical holiday plates. Solid red napkins add a pop of color, and when placed under the plates, there’s no need for a runner or placemat.
Wooden reindeer, real pinecones and mixed greenery take the textural feel to the next level. Snips of spruce or boxwood trees from the yard up the texture, and best of all are free.
Details make all the difference. Adding personal placecards is a great touch that makes everyone feel special. How about adding a surprise lottery ticket to the bottom of a random plate? Sometimes a winner, and always a hit!
Add Interest with Height
A mix of faux and metallic pine trees give your table the height it needs. Be sure to place them strategically so your guests can easily see one another.
Experiment
Pinterest is a great place to get ideas. Take a stab at different napkin folding techniques and see what suits your fancy.
Wheresplurgeto
This dining room table is a restored farmhouse table. It seats 22 people when all leaves are in. If you’re going to go all out, do it here and know that it will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves not only can be beautiful focal points within a home, but they also provide an additional source of heat and can be used to keep rooms or entire homes comfortable without the need for additional and potentially costly heating sources.
Just like more modern home heating systems, stoves and fireplaces need to be maintained, and that maintenance includes readying them before winter when they are used more heavily. Ensuring a fireplace or stove is in good working order helps to guarantee efficiency of use and safety during the winter months.
With the holiday season and end of year stresses upon us, neuroscientists across the nation and world continue to prove the benefits of welcomed hugs. What do you think is the greatest benefit?
- Hugs help me feel calmer and less stressed
- Hugs lower heart rate and blood pressure

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* To stretch your laundry budget, cut fabric so ener sheets in half. ey work just as well. Also, save them a er they come out of the dryer. ey make excellent dusters in the home.
* If the vegetables you are cooking give off an unpleasant smell, grab a small saucepan and simmer a bit of plain vinegar while cooking. It will negate the smell, and leave your house smelling pleasantly like mealtime a erward.
* “Cornstarch is great for itchy, rashy skin. is is true for babies’ bottoms and for doggy bellies, which is what I use it for. My pup is allergic to grass but loves to romp. Sometimes his belly gets red, and I clean it with a mild soap and water, then give him a cornstarch rub. It sure helps.” -- T.W. in Ohio

INTRODUCING A NEW PET TO YOUR CAT
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently adopted a year-old puppy. “Max” is a friendly, well-socialized dog, and during the trial stay a month ago, my 10-year-old cat, “Nora,” seemed to tolerate him. Well, on the second day that Max was home, he started barking excitedly. Nora sprang up and attacked him, cornering Max on the sofa. She batted him around the snout several times. Now, Max slinks out of the room anytime that Nora appears. How can I make peace between them?
-- Gerry G., Manchester, New Hampshire
DEAR GERRY: I’m sorry to hear that! Introducing a new pet into an established household can be stressful for both pets and sometimes unpredictable. And any negative interactions that occur -- from hissing and barking to an all-out boxing match -- can make future harmony nearly impossible to achieve. One or both pets may begin to exhibit behavioral issues like aggression, soiling in the house, chewing and scratching, and more.
For the foreseeable future, you’ll need to manage and monitor all interactions between Max and Nora. As soon as they begin to react negatively, they need to be separated.
Reintroduce the two gradually. I recommend taking Max for a nice, long walk before each meeting so that some of his puppy energy is worked off beforehand. Work intensively with Max on basic commands like sit, stay, lie down and come here. When Max is in the room with Nora, have him sit or lie down close to you -- they don’t have to meet face to face. Limit interaction time to five minutes or less at first, then gradually increase the time.

Illuminating Joy: Jeff Lange and the Lights on Factors Walk
BY SUZIE WELLS
For the past few years, a dazzling light display at 1887 Factors Walk in Ionia brightens the holiday season, bringing joy to countless families in the community. At the heart of this spectacle is Jeff Lange, a so ware engineer and adjunct Computer Engineering professor at RIT with a passion for innovation, creativity, and spreading cheer.
Jeff’s journey to becoming a holiday light maestro began inhishometownofNiagaraFalls,wherechildhoodmemories of festive lights sparked a lifelong appreciation for the season. “In a time of such divisiveness, holiday lights are one thing that can bring everyone together,” he reflects.
A er moving to Rochester for college in the 1990s, Jeff stayed, earning a BS in Computer Science and an MS in So ware Engineering at RIT. In addition to his light shows, Jeff is deeply involved in the community, mentoring HF-L High School’s FIRST Robotics team. His wife, Jaime, whom he met at RIT, “lovingly puts up with my light addiction,” he says. Together, they have two daughters, one a freshman in college and one a junior at HF-L High School.
When the girls were little, the family would drive around town checking out all the different Christmas light displays. He explains that in 2020 as they toured the light displays as usual, he was inspired to try out his own. For the next year, he researched and built his own props, controllers, and learned how to sequence songs to put together his first display the following year.
Today, his Lights on Factors Walk is a testament to dedication and ingenuity. From hand-drilling thousands of holes in PVC pipe to custom-soldering cables, Jeff’s display is as much a labor of love as it is a technical feat. is year’s display features an astonishing 17,185 lights, including a 22-foot mega tree adorned with nearly 5,000 lights as well as a new nine-foot tree.
Jeff also sequences every song in his show by hand. “ is means my show is custom-designed from scratch to work with my house and props,” he explains. A er selecting festive songs he thinks will work well with light effects, he uses open-source so ware called XLights to meticulously synchronize light effects with musical details. He says each song takes about 10-20 hours of programming, which he likens to video editing, listening carefully for precise instruments and piecing effects together precisely. “A lot of people will never notice some of the small details, but having elements perfectly synched with a cymbal crash or a trumpet hit makes all the difference.”
Jeff creates custom mixes to keep songs under 2.5 minutes, ensuring the display captivates without overstaying its welcome. Each year, he says his goal is to “make each year better than the last,” adding new display elements and a few new songs to the mix. Last year’s 25’x50’ 2,000 light “pixel forest” ground array allowed him to create fun new effects.
For Jeff, the greatest reward is the joy his display brings to others. “From Facebook messages about how much joy it brought their children to a plate of cookies someone le in my mailbox – it’s moments like these that keep me going... I love that something I create can make other people happy.”
A particularly heartwarming memory came last year when a senior living facility bussed residents to view the show. “It was great to talk with them and see how much fun they were having,” Jeff recalls.
Jeff hopes his light display inspires others to embrace the spirit of the season. Stop out to take in the Lights on Factors Walk 6-10pm nightly through January 1 at 1887 Factors Walk, Ionia. Be sure to tune your radio to 95.9 FM to enjoy the synchronized music. Please respect the neighbors by avoiding parking on the grass as you stop to enjoy the show.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Liver Specialist Recommends Removing Cyst Growing in Size
DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with several liver cysts over 15 years ago. My primary doctor and I followed the growth of the cysts by ultrasound, and one is increasing in size. We did an MRI with and without contrast to take a look at the cyst. The radiologist stated that the cyst looked “complex” and, for a lack of a better word, unusual.
A liver specialist’s consult revealed that we could remove it if I wanted to. The doctor stated that he just had a patient who had a cyst, and it was cancerous. He felt that it may be best to remove it, but it’s not urgent to do so.
I would appreciate your take on this situation. -- L.S.
ANSWER: Simple liver cysts are common, and even when they are large, they do not need to be removed unless they cause symptoms. However, any other cyst than a simple one needs to be carefully evaluated. There are many possible causes, including various types of cancer, especially a mucinous cystic neoplasm, which can be associated with invasive cancer.
I looked at both the ultrasound and MRI reports you sent, and although it seemed to me that the radiologists thought this was likely a simple cyst with some bleeding, they could not be sure. Furthermore, the growth in the size of the cyst is concerning.
In some cases, it’s reasonable to wait and redo the scans in 6-12 months when the risk of a cancerous cyst is low. However, since the liver specialist (who has much more experience than I do) is concerned enough to recommend surgery, I don’t understand why you would want to wait. I suspect the surgery will prove that it was a benign cyst, but you’ll probably sleep better at night once you know for certain. The surgery is normally done laparascopically, and although it’s usually a very safe and effective surgery, there is always a small risk for complications. You should speak with a surgeon.
DR. ROACH WRITES: Do you have any comments on the use of metformin for weight loss and prediabetes? I am a 57-yearold woman. -- B.S.
ANSWER: Factor V is a protein that is critical in making clots, and an abnormThat’s one question I can answer based on very good data. The National Diabetes Prevention Program looked at this very issue. Subjects in the study (who averaged 51 years of age and were overweight with prediabetes) were treated with metformin, an intensive lifestyle-behavioral-change program that aimed for a low-fat diet and 150 minutes of exercise per week, or a placebo. The diet and exercise group had the best response, decreasing the rate of new diabetes by 58% compared to the placebo group. However, the metformin group also had a benefit, with a 31% decrease in the rate of new diabetes diagnoses. Personally, I recommend both. Metformin does help a bit with weight loss, but taking it along with some diet changes and exercise would likely have a much better response than metformin alone. We don’t recommend a low-fat diet anymore, instead emphasizing whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and very few processed foods. A registered dietician would be a valuable partner in helping with the diet of your regimen. You don’t need to exercise for the whole 150 minutes, but it’s a goal you can work toward. New studies show that drugs like semaglutide are even more effective at preventing diabetes, but they are very expensive and often not covered by insurance. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

HOW TO ENCOURAGE KIDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR TEETH
Parents of young children know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. Kids have a long history of disliking dental care, which can frustrate parents who know the importance and long-lasting benefits of proper dental hygiene.
While many youngsters may never excitedly run to the bathroom to brush their teeth, parents can try various approaches to get kids to embrace proper dental care.
Start early. Parents should not hesitate to begin cleaning kids’ teeth once the first tooth appears. The earlier dental care is part of a child’s routine, the more likely he or she is to accept it as part of everyday life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a softbristled brush with a small head. Ideally, use a toothbrush designed for infants, brushing teeth once per day at bedtime. The AAPD advises taking kids to visit a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than the child’s first birthday.
Make it a group effort. Young children love to imitate their parents’ actions and behaviors, and moms and dads can use that adoration to their advantage when trying to get kids to brush their teeth. Brush teeth together as a family, making it seem like an enjoyable twice-daily activity. Get down on kids’ level and show them how to brush. If kids are resistant, engage them in conversation while brushing so they don’t even realize they’re cleaning away.
Involve kids in choosing their dental care products. While parents should be mindful of the type of toothbrush their children use, always sticking with products recommended by their child’s pediatric dentist, let youngsters choose their toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids might prefer a particular flavor of toothpaste, and a colorful toothbrush with a favorite film or television character might make kids more enthusiastic and less fussy about brushing.
Compliment kids after positive dental appointments. When pediatric dentist appointments go well, compliment children and express your pride in them for taking dental hygiene as seriously as they do.

Thank you, farmers!
Exiting thru handicap parking
In the world of supermarkets and deliveries, I just want to say thank you to the farmers and farmettes who share of their abundance with their neighbors. Farm stands are a cool great way to buy produce and eggs (even meat sometimes, depending on the farmer) directly from the people who grow it or tend to it. I’ll miss my local farm market for the winter, but I hope you all enjoy a restful respite with your families and friends. I’m sure the season is long and grueling. Please know your neighbors greatly appreciate your hard work!
I would like drivers to know that "cutting thru" the yellow hash markings in the handicap parking areas is illegal. Not that anyone worries about tickets anymore, but what about taking someone's car door off, or worse hitting someone in one of the store’s electric shopping carts. Please use the designated exiting lanes. You've come too close to hitting me or my car door too many times.
Signs for Roundabouts
Young people thank you
I want to thank the young people that are working in the stores where we shop. If you’re not aware, there is a shortage of young workers. I do not take my change from the cashiers but leave it in the hope that they will receive it as a small thank you for their willing to work rather than stay home or on the phone. I would much rather donate to someone I know is helping me and moving forward in life than having the money go to some six figure income executive in a so-called “charitable” organization.
I wish NYS would put signs up at all entrances going into a roundabouts stating that you need to signal your intent when you go into one. I have seen several close calls because people don't signal their intent. It is the law.
CREATE AN ENDURING MEMORIAL FOR A LOVED ONE
Plant a tree. Trees have long symbolized life and wisdom. Trees can live for dozens of years, growing larger and more vibrant with each year that passes. Planting a tree in a loved one’s name will create a beautiful respite that people can visit and enjoy. A small plaque or another type of sign can feature the name of the person being memorialized.
Lori Ann Hicks November 24, 2024
Canandaigua – Lori Hicks, age 67, passed away Sunday, November 24, 2024, after a brief illness. She is survived by her companion of 28 years, Harold Power; three brothers, Lee (Judi) Hicks, Alan (Lizette) Hicks, and Jim (Rene) Hicks; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Irwin M. Hicks in 2021 and Mary (Middlebrook) Hicks in 2024.
Lori was born in Canandaigua, attended Canandaigua schools and was a graduate of Canandaigua Academy, class of 1975. She earned an associate degree in business from SUNY Alfred. Lori worked as a rural mail carrier in the Bloomfield area. She bred and raised Alaskan Malamute dogs that were sold all over the world. Lori loved all animals. She enjoyed crafts, knitting, crocheting and flower gardening. Services are private. Memorial contributions may be made to the Ontario County Humane Society, 2976 Co. Rd. 48, Canandaigua, NY 14424.
Arrangements are by Johnson-Kennedy Funeral Home, Inc., Canandaigua. Condolences may be offered at www.johnsonkennedy.com
HOLIDAY PARTY MUST-HAVES
Games can be a great way to keep guests occupied during the party. From a safety perspective, games that engage guests might prevent them from overindulging in alcohol at a time of year when the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration says drunk driving incidents are at their highest. Games in which participants can win holiday-themed prizes might be especially enjoyable for players.
