TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
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.

Breast cancer awareness campaigns have helped destigmatize the disease but have not had a significant impact on the incidence of Stage IV disease or on mortality. Stage IV breast cancer is disease that has, at initial diagnosis, spread to distant sites within the body. The incidence of this has not changed since 1975. In 2017, an estimated 40,610 women in our country will die as a result of breast cancer.
Compiled by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester
DID YOU KNOW?
Various organizations urge women to familiarize themselves with their breasts and conduct somewhat routine self-exams so they can uncover any lumps or other issues that may warrant further examination by a physician. Though self-exams can lead to discovery of breast cancer when the disease is most treatable, the World Health Organization notes that as many as 90 percent of breast masses are not cancerous. Non-cancerous abnormalities may be benign masses such as fibroadenoma and cysts or indicative of infection. It’s also important that women recognize that breast cancer is not always accompanied by a lump. In fact, the Mayo Clinic reports that many women with breast cancer never experience any signs or symptoms of the disease. In such instances, the disease is discovered during screening tests, which include mammograms.

the neighborhood critically. Neighborhoods also can be a factor to consider. What may be a safe environment during the day may no longer be so safe when darkness descends and children are unchaperoned. If parents recognize the neighborhood tows the line between being safe and dangerous, they may want to push off trick-or-treating alone until their children are older. But even the neighborhoods parents would characterize as “safe” are not invulnerable to safety issues.It pays to check where registered child predators live nearby, and that information is available to the public in most areas.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
WHY IS MY CAT SCRATCHING SO MUCH?
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.

* 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.”

The Wm. Phelps General Store: A History of Haunting and Heritage
BY SUZIE WELLS
Nestled in the historic canal town of Palmyra, New York, the Wm. Phelps General Store and Residence is a time capsule of 19th-century life and commerce, as well as one of the allegedly most haunted locations in the Finger Lakes region. Originally constructed in 1826, the building served as a boarding house, tavern, bakery, and general store. A er renovations in 1875 by William Phelps, it continued as a family-run business until 1940 when his son, Julius Phelps, abruptly closed the store doors and le everything as it was, untouched for decades. Today, the Phelps General Store and residence above stand as part of the Historic Palmyra Museum complex, allowing visitors to step back in time, into the lives—and a erlives—of the Phelps family.
According to Historic Palmyra, the Wm. Phelps General Store is a “curious retail time capsule,” a museum where “time stands still,” with products le on the shelves as they were on that day. e upstairs residence is also frozen in time thanks to preservation efforts, showcasing the elegant post-Civil War furnishings, a kitchen devoid of modern conveniences like electricity or indoor plumbing, and Sibyl Phelps’ piano resting by the window.
Sibyl Phelps, the last of the Phelps family to reside in the home, lived in the house until her death in 1976, long a er the store had closed. Despite her education and worldliness—she attended both the Eastman School of Music and acting school in New York City—she returned to Palmyra and worked as a tombstone distributor. She continued to live in the house without electricity or indoor plumbing. Tracy Murphy, director of Historic Palmyra’s museums, imagines Sibyl’s presence still lingering: “I envision a smiling Sibyl, perhaps sitting in her chair by the window or playing the piano by streetlight.”
e Phelps General Store is also famous for something more eerie—its hauntings. Historic Palmyra has been dubbed one of the “most haunted places in the Finger Lakes,” with countless reports of paranormal activity throughout its history. Visitors to the store, residence, and museums have experienced unexplainable phenomena such as items moving or disappearing, strange noises, and even the sight of objects flying through the air. Brian Cano, of the Haunted History Trail of New York State, attests that “unidentifiable sounds” have echoed through the building, adding to its haunted reputation.
Among the spirits said to haunt the building is a ghostly man seen pacing in the upstairs bedrooms, disembodied voices, and even the apparitions of children playing, possibly connected to the horrific fire that took the lives of seven people nearby in 1964. Some believe that a couple of the Breedon children, victims of that fire, have been spotted on the second floor of the Phelps residence. Others, like a little girl known as “Holly,” whose identity remains a mystery, are rumored to haunt the upstairs rooms. According to some, she may have been a victim of a horse accident or a former resident from the building’s days as a boarding house.
Sibyl Phelps herself, during her lifetime, was known to have dabbled in spiritualism, further intensifying the building’s connection to the supernatural. Sybil, who reportedly owned a crystal ball and placed mirrors facing each other to create “spirit portals,” may have even attracted some of these wandering souls. Her reclusive nature, affinity for animals—she reportedly had up to 15 cats at one point—and her deep engagement with the spirit world, led some local children to whisper that she was a witch. It seems fitting that her home is now considered one of the most haunted places in New York.
Historic Palmyra, a 501(c)(3) organization, has been instrumental in preserving the rich history of the town and the Phelps General Store. In addition to the store, Historic Palmyra operates the Palmyra Historical Museum, the Erie Canal Depot, and the Alling Coverlet Museum, ensuring the stories of Palmyra’s past endure. During October but also year-round, the town becomes a destination for ghost hunters, with paranormal investigation teams and curious visitors flocking to the museums to experience the lingering spirits firsthand.
As Murphy notes, history is not just something to be studied in books—it is a tangible, sensory experience. “History is a wonderful thing, especially when it is something you can see, touch, and smell,” she says, explaining what makes the Wm. Phelps General Store a unique window into both the past and the supernatural.
From its origins as a bustling general store to its current reputation as a haunted museum, the Wm. Phelps General Store continues to captivate visitors with its rich history and eerie atmosphere. Whether they come for the ghost stories or to glimpse a preserved moment of 19th-century life, those who visit o en leave with more questions than answers about the past inhabitants—both living and dead.

FALL LAWN CARE TIPS
Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery 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.

DID YOU KNOW? The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian. The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines. Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.

[Local Road]
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.
machines
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.
DID YOU KNOW?
It is impossible to identify the first Halloween costume and which masks the earliest celebrants donned in efforts to keep away the evil spirits during Samhain, which historians believe is the Celtic precursor to Halloween. According to Lesley Bannatyne, an author who has written extensively about the history of Halloween, masks and coverups were designed to symbolize ghosts and the souls of the dead, first for Samhain and later for the custom of “souling,” which was intended to cut back on pagan influences. Costumes of saints and evil spirits also were popular during this time. When immigrants brought Halloween customs to North America, early 20th century costumes featured much of the same - ghosts and ghouls. It wasn’t until the 1920s and 1930s that pop culture began to infiltrate costumes. In fact, one of the first costume companies, J. Halpern Company, began licensing pop culture images like Mickey Mouse and Popeye around this time. By the 1960s, costumes were largely store-bought, spurring entire industries. Many 1980s kids recall buying boxed costumes that consisted of rigid plastic masks with eye holes (and very small holes by the mouth and nose) that stayed in place with thin elastic straps, and a plastic sheeting costume that went over clothes. Modern costumes have evolved into outfits that are far more complex.
HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE
Candy, time spent with friends and colorful costumes make Halloween a day to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Halloween also can be a lucrative time of year, as the National Retail Federation notes that Halloween spending equals roughly $6.9 billion each year. But as popular as Halloween seems,many countries do not celebrate the holiday. Halloween observances are limited mainly to North America and areas of Great Britain. Thanks to North American influence and trade, some elements of Halloween have spread to other areas, including South America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia. But Halloween celebrations outside of North America may not be recognizable to those accustomed to celebrations stateside.
In Scotland and Ireland, traditional customs of Halloween include dressing up in costume or “guising.” Parties may be held, and some people have bonfires or set off firework displays. Filipinos meanwhile return to their hometowns and purchase flowers and candles in preparation for All Saints Day, which takes place the day after Halloween. In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have passed away while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light paths for the spirits as they travel the planet on Halloween night. In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31 and culminates on November 2. It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy.
In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid-1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated. However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

Halloween is certainly known for the spooky decorations that adorn homes and for the creative costumes children put on to canvas the neighborhood.But for many youngsters,Halloween is all about the candy.
In just a few hours, trick-or-treaters can accumulate a substantial amount of assorted chocolates, confections and other sweet treats. Once everyone has had their fill of their favorite items, candy often gets relegated to a giant bowl on the kitchen table, where it beckons each resident who passes by.
Rather than submitting to the call of the candy and sacrificing your dental health as a result, enterprising individuals can repurpose that leftover Halloween candy.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS
Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in, it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures.While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more.
A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.

DID YOU KNOW?
Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arriveintheblinkofaneye.Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can findthemselvesinfinancialstraits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts fromMoney,CNNandTheMotley Fooladvisethatfinanciallysolvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’financialfutures.
