It was, as I have said, a fine autumnal day; the sky was clear and serene, and nature wore that rich and golden livery which we always associate with the idea of abundance. The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.... As Ichabod jogged slowly on his way, his eye... ranged with delight over the treasures of jolly autumn.

HONEOYE FALLS HOLIDAY PARADE
CelebratesCommunitySpirit, Creativity&Togetherness
BY SUZIE WELLS
The Honeoye Falls Holiday Parade is a cherished tradition, drawing thousands of community members each year to the heart of the village. For over three decades, this festive event not only spreads holiday cheer but also showcases the dedication of the Honeoye Falls Fire Department (HFFD) and countless other contributors who make it possible.
According to Anthony Militello, Vice President of the HFFD, and Bill Soehner, Past President of the HFFD, the planning process has become morestreamlinedovertheyears. eprimaryfocusremainsreachingoutto past participants, such as fire departments and community organizations, while incorporating new ideas whenever possible. However, they admit that one annual challenge persists: making sure Santa is available.
e event relies on a collaborative effort from various organizations and individuals throughout the community. e Village of Honeoye Falls plays a key role in judging and supporting the parade, while local businesses add their own festive touches by offering cookies and hot chocolate to attendees before and a er the parade. Many of these contributions are informal, reflecting the organic enthusiasm surrounding the parade. Militello and Soehner say, “We love to see that there are many other organizations that help make it such an enjoyable night in the village.”
e parade has evolved in creativity as well, the firefighters say. e HF-L school district, for instance, has contributed increasingly elaborate entries in recent years. e improvements in quality and creativity among participants have enhanced the parade experience for both organizers and attendees.
e list of standout participants is extensive and growing. From the Pittsford Fire Department’s band to the Richmond Fire District, which o en aims to secure the “best fire department entry” award, the event draws impressive contributions from both nearby and distant communities. Other notable participants include the local Rotary Club, HF-L school district and scout organizations, the VFW, and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, each bringing their own festive spirit to the evening.
efiredepartment’smotivationtoorganizetheparadeeachyearstems from the joy it brings to the community. “We love seeing the community come out for this event,” say Militello and Soehner. “It is really the largest single draw of people to the downtown area all year. e atmosphere and good cheer make it something we really look forward to each year.”
e sheer size of the crowd, sometimes around 5,000 people, speaks to the event’s impact and growth since its inception in the early 1990s. Initially, the parade route spanned just a few blocks from Norton Street to the firehouse. Today, it has expanded significantly, with participation increasing not only locally but also from fire departments further afield.
For the Honeoye Falls Fire Department, the parade has become a treasured tradition. “It is absolutely a tradition,” Militello and Soehner say. “It’s not a fundraising event; it’s just our way to give back in a little different way each year.” is spirit of giving extends beyond the spectacle of the parade itself. Categories such as “best fire department entry” and “best community entry” receive prize money, and this year, a new food vendor has pledged to donate proceeds to the local food cupboard, ensuring that the event supports those in need.
One of the most memorable aspects of the parade is the joy it brings to children. Each year, the firehouse transforms into a hub of excitement as kids eagerly line up to meet Santa. e sight of families and friends gathering together, soaking in the festive atmosphere, makes the months of preparation worthwhile for organizers.
Beyond entertainment, the parade serves as an opportunity for the fire department to connect with the community. Attendees can donate to the department or learn about volunteer opportunities, further strengthening ties between the department and the village it serves. For organizers like Militello and Soehner, the event is a labor of love that reinforces the bonds of a close-knit community.
As this year’s parade approaches (12/14/24), the fire department is eager to welcome residents and visitors alike. ey say, “We hope to see the community come together as in years past. Don’t forget to stop by the firehouse for cookies and a chance to meet Santa.”

HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
All-purpose cleaners: Many cleaners list bleach and ammonia among their ingredients. Bleach may be listed as sodium hypochlorite. When used as directed in a well-ventilated space, bleach and ammonia can be relatively safe. However, fumes from bleach or ammonia can cause rashes and skin irritation and irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Bleach and ammonia should never be mixed because mixing the two can produce a deadly chloramine gas.
Vinegar and baking soda can be used as a replacement for many household cleaning products, and these alternatives have virtually no dangerous side effects.
TYPES OF TISSUE YOU CAN DONATE
Cornea: The cornea is the clear covering of the eye. The National Eye Institute notes that, unlike most other tissues in the body, the cornea does not contain blood vessels to provide nourishment or protection against infection. By donating their corneas, donors can help restore sight to people who lost theirs due to disease or injury.
THE HIDDEN BENEFITS OF WATER
Water can help people maintain healthy weights. Dieting fads come and go, but water is a mainstay for people who want to control their caloric intake in an effort to maintain healthy weights. Water has zero calories, so reaching for a bottle or glass of waterinsteadofasoda,lemonade or another caloric beverage can help people keep the pounds off. A study from researchers at the UniversityofTexasHealthScience Center found that even diet soda enhances weight gain by as much as 41 percent. In addition, soda has been linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes and tooth decay. No such association exists with water.
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Cardiologist Doesn’t Recommend Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 81-year-old man in reasonably good health. When I had trouble falling asleep, I would take a swig of Zzzquil, which worked perfectly every time. However, since then, my cardiologist told me to stop taking such products, so I turned to 5-mg tablets of melatonin in the evening to help induce drowsiness. Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn’t.
One night, after I had three beers, I also took two gelcaps of Gas-X to alleviate the bloated feeling just before bed. It was about an hour or so after the melatonin, and I quickly dozed off to sleep. Since then, I noticed that if I awaken in the night and take another Gas-X, I shortly doze off again and have remarkable, complex dreams. Is this self-protocol of mine medically unsound in any way?
ANSWER: There’s a lot going on here. First off, I completely agree with your cardiologist that the sleep aid you were taking, like most over-the-counter sleep aids, contains diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that sedates some people. The problem with this medicine is that the quality of sleep isn’t good for many people. It also increases the risk of falls in older people and the risk of motor vehicle accidents in people who drive. It’s not a good choice for older adults.
Melatonin is safer and has fewer side effect, one of them being vivid dreams. However, 5 mg is a big dose. I usually recommend 0.5-1 mg in my older patients. Gas-X (simethicone) isn’t absorbed into the body and shouldn’t cause vivid dreams. A search found no reports of abnormal dreams with simethicone, so it was almost certainly the melatonin that caused the dreams. Maybe Gas-X allowed you to sleep while the melatonin was still around enough to give you vivid dreams.
In addition, three beers on a regular basis are more than what is considered healthy for anyone, and a man in his 80s will be affected by three beers much more than a younger man of the same size.
DR. ROACH WRITES: Seven years ago, I went to the emergency room and was told I had blood clots in my arms that traveled to my lungs. I started Eliquis. The doctor said I had a problem with factor V, but I don’t have my blood results. Do I need to stay on this blood thinner? I know it has severe side effects.
ANSWER: Factor V is a protein that is critical in making clots, and an abnormality in this protein can make a person bleed (although this is very rare). What’s more common is a condition called factor V Leiden (FVL), which makes the body resistant to the activated protein C, a natural anticoagulant. (Anticoagulants decrease blood-clotting and are sometimes referred to as “blood thinners.”) So, the net effect of FVL is that it makes blood clots a little more likely. Many people have FVL, but most will not develop a blood clot.
However, you apparently developed blood clots in both arms that caused the clots to move to the lungs, which are called pulmonary emboli. Determining the duration of therapy takes clinical judgment. Because you had clots in your arms rather than your legs, had a pulmonary embolus, and have FVL, some experts would treat you for the rest of your lifetime. I wouldn’t say that Eliquis has severe side effects. Because it reduces blood-clotting, there is a chance of bleeding. For most people with a low to average risk of bleeding, the likelihood is on the order of 1% to 2% per year. If the risk of a life-threatening clot is higher than the risk of bleeding, then continued anticoagulation is preferred.
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. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
EXPLAINING METASTATIC CANCER
Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited toahostoffactors.Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts ofvariousorganizationstopromote cancer prevention and raise awarenessaboutthedisease.
The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidence-based prevention strategies. However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatlyreducingtheirlikelihoodof surviving the disease.
Cancerthatspreadstodistantparts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often referred to as “stage IV cancer.” According to theNationalCancerInstitute,when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traitslikethatoftheprimarycancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from anotherpartofthebody.
When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the metastatic cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.
Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

THE TYPE OF LODGING ACCOMMODATION
Inn: Inns usually are smaller than chain hotels, and tend to be family-owned. They offer charm and cozy appeal to guests, but that may come at the expense of in-room amenities.
NOW HERE’S A TIP
DIY Hand Pampering: Mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/5 cup milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey. Soak hands in mixture for 2 minutes, then rinse and dry hands.
Each mumbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

* If you are serving hot rolls on a buffet, line the basket with aluminum foil before you line it with a towel. ey lose heat less quickly that way.
* “I’ve loved this little trick since I saw it used at a party years ago. I serve iced tea (or punch) at most of my get-togethers, and instead of ice cubes, I freeze several pounds of cleaned, destemmed white grapes. ey are a hit at every party.” -- M.A. in New York
* Need almost-instant party snacks? Try a package of storebought cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions (usually only a few minutes), toss with oil or salad dressing and stick each on a toothpick.

Ronald Colon, Owner
Small businesses have such a big impact on their communities, and the world at large, that it might be time to reconsider refering to them as “small.” According to the World Bank, small businesses have a major impact on the world economy, especially in emerging countries. In such nations, small and medium enterprises contribute up to 60 percent of total employment and up to 40 percent of national income. Small businesses figure to frame their economies in emerging countries in the coming decades, and they’re already doing so in developed nations, such as the United States and Canada.

* On Dec. 10, 1690, a near-mutiny forces the Massachusetts Bay Colony to issue the first paper currency in the Western Hemisphere. Soldiers were typically paid in coins, but shortages forced armies to temporarily issue IOUs -- in one case, in the form of cut-up playing cards.
* On Dec. 11, 1978, a half dozen masked robbers raid the Lufthansa Airlines cargo building at JFK Airport in New York, making off with more than $5 million in cash ($20 million in today’s dollars) and almost $1 million in jewelry.
* On Dec. 12, 1989, Leona Helmsley, nicknamed the “Queen of Mean,” is sentenced to four years in prison, 750 hours of community service and a $7.1 million tax-fraud fine in New York. Helmsley once quipped that “only the little people pay taxes.”

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read about a person who did not vaccinate their house cats, and a er one of them got out, lost all of them to feline leukemia. I can relate to this person. I only have one cat, and I thought, for a while, that I could get away without vaccinating her. Fortunately, a friend convinced me otherwise.
It turns out that it doesn’t take much to protect my baby when she depends on me to take care of her. I’ve never gone without just to pay for “Racquel’s” vaccinations, and in turn, she is a healthy cat who brings so much companionship to my life. Please tell your readers not to skip this important annual appointment. -- Donna in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
DEAR DONNA: You told them, and I thank you. Vaccinating indoor pets can seem like a pricey extravagance, but it pales in comparison to the cost of treating the diseases that they can contract if they’re not vaccinated.
To reduce the annual cost, check around for discounted shot clinics. ese are usually held on specific dates and places -- pet supply stores, public buildings or participating veterinary clinics. However, these clinics o en don’t advertise extensively due to costs, so you may need to search a bit. Contact your city or county government to see if any clinics are being held nearby, or stop in to major pet supply retailers like Petco, which o en sponsor shot clinics. If not, their workers o en know about pet health clinics nearby.
ese clinics offer required vaccinations and licenses, and sometimes have microchipping and a basic health exam available at a low fixed price per pet.

Not just on Small Business Saturday...
Nosy
Here’s a shout out to all those small business owners who are going above and beyond to serve their communities. Especially at this time of year we should take the time to patronize the local shops, cafes, breweries and markets. These establishments are what make small towns unique, friendly and the place we’re proud to call home.
This has been on my mind and I need to say it, and I hope you read this: To the woman who called me a "nosy [expletive]," I heard you ask what your balance was on your SNAP, so I instinctively looked as customers in the past have asked the same and I checked for them. You stormed out before I could even explain why I looked at your receipt. If anyone is the [expletive], it's you.
Tow Company
Love my Penny Saver!
I just finished the current Penny Saver. Love what you do with all the articles, Did You Know, Trivia, Paws Corner, health articles, and more! Keep up the good work. I am already looking forward to the Penny Saver during the coming weeks. Have a Merry Christmas.
On Nov 14th, my car was towed to the tire place on [local road]. I trusted the tow truck driver to tow it there (1 or 2 miles) and at least lock the vehicle before giving the key to the tire associate. To make a long story short, when the car was fixed and I drove it home, the hatchback had been broken into. My camping canvas bag was missing with a kitchen set of knives worth $100-$200 gone. My insurance papers were missing from the glove compartment.
Never assume a towing company will lock your vehicle. The young man driving told me he had done this for 20 years and knew what he was doing. Really? Locking the car isn't included?

EXPLORE HOSPICE OPTIONS FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE
Hospice care often begins when the individual receiving care and his or her family members feel the end of life may be near. According to Relias, a healthcare advisory organization, most patients enter hospice during the last six months of life. Care providers are interdisciplinary. Doctors, nurses, social service providers, bereavement therapists, dietitians, spiritual counselors, and physical or occupational therapists may be included in hospice treatment.

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.
