HOW TO SAFELY NAVIGATE WET ROADS
Leave ample room between vehicles. Because braking quickly on wet roadways can increase the risk of accident, it’s important that drivers leave ample room between their vehicles and the vehicles in front of them. Afford other drivers the space to brake slowly just like you hope the drivers behind you are doing. Avoid overcrowded roadways during especially wet weather.
ADDRESS WINDSHIELD DAMAGE PROMPTLY
Windshields are designed to protect drivers and their vehicles from wind and other natural elements while the cars are in motion.
Windshields are made from tempered glass, which is processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared to normal glass. While relatively strong for a pieces of glass, windshields are not impervious to damage. All it takes is a single rock or piece of road debris to be kicked up from the roadway and hit the windshield to cause a problem.
Every day, motorists encounter pebbles or other small missiles that bounce up from the road and come in contact with their windshields. Many deflect with no problem, but under high speeds, debris can cause chips, dings, and even cracks in the windshield.
Sweet sentiments: Use old Scrabble® letter tiles to form a favorite holiday phrase, like “Joy to the World.” Glue the tiles together and hang from the tree on a piece of ribbon.
Cracks easily spread from road vibration and heat and can compromise the integrity of the windshield. If your car’s windshield is cracked and it shatters during a collision, you and your passengers are at great risk of injury. In addition, police officers can write tickets if windshields appear to be unsafe. So it’s in drivers’ best interests to repair damaged windshields promptly.
Drivers may be able to repair small dings themselves with a do-it-yourself windshield kit available at automotive retailers. If a crack is less than six to 12 inches long, it can probably be repaired as well. However, more significant damage will require that the entire windshield be replaced.

STRAWBERRY-GLAZED FRENCH TOAST WITH SWEETENED SOUR CREAM Serves
4 toasted bread slices and soak them 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate or platter.
3. Place a large, heavy frying pan over low to medium heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of the butter, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. When melted, add enough bread slices to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook slowly until the slices are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and place in the warm oven. Repeat, adding more butter to the pan as needed until all the bread slices have been sautéed.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until dry and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes per side. Watch carefully so that the bread does not burn. Remove the bread from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, egg yolks, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish works well). Add the
5. When ready to serve, spread each toast with a thin coating of strawberry jam and top with a dollop of sweetened sour cream.
Note 1: The best bread for this dish is an unsliced loaf of good-quality peasant or country bread, preferably one without an extra-hard crust. One that is rectangular, rather than round, is more convenient, but either will do. Cut off the ends of the loaf, and reserve for another use. Then slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. If your loaf is large and the slices seem large, cut them in half.
Note 2: You can try other jams, preserves or marmalades. Cherry, raspberry or peach preserves and orange marmalade are other possibilities.

HOW TO MANAGE HOLIDAY SHOPPING TRIPS WITH TOTS IN TOW
Encourage kids to create shopping lists. Keeping kids engaged on holiday shopping trips can be difficult, especially when shopping at stores that tend to draw crowds and long lines. But parents can engage youngsters by encouraging them to create their own holiday shopping lists for family members and then helping them find those gifts at the mall or wherever they plan to do their holiday shopping. Let kids bring their lists along and check off gifts as they purchase them.

Winterize Your Car (Family Features)
To avoid car troubles, schedule a tune-up a few weeks prior to your trip and be sure to get regular oil changes. If you want to do some basic maintenance yourself, here’s what Consumer Reports recommends you do:
Maintain visibility.
If your car’s wipers leave streaks of water behind, or if the rubber on the wiper blade shows signs of stiffness or cracking, get a new set of wipers. Don’t use the wipers to remove ice from the windshield - keep an ice scraper on hand. If it’s going to snow the next day and your vehicle is parked outside, put the wipers into the raised position to keep them from freezing to the windshield.
Use the right oil.
Engine oil will thicken when it’s cold, making it harder on the engine. Always check the owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation, but generally speaking, you should use a multi-viscosity oil that has a W as part of the viscosity index. This means it’s formulated for winter use.
Check other vital fluids.
This includes fluids for the engine, coolant, transmission, brakes, power steering and windshield washers.
Maintain hoses and belts.
You can check hoses on a cool engine by pinching them. There should be no soft spots or bulging areas. Feel for lengthwise cracks in the inner liner of the hoses. Check all belts for worn spots, cracks or shredding fabric reinforcement.
Prep the battery.
For maintenance-free batteries, check the window on top to see if it’s fully charged. If it’s not, have it professionally tested. For conventional batteries, remove the plastic caps on top of the battery and check the fluid level. If it’s low, add distilled water. Make sure battery cables are securely attached to the terminals. If your battery is more than five years old, consider replacing it.
Check the brakes.
If your car pulls to one side when you brake, or if you hear any grinding noises or feel unusual vibrations when you apply the brakes, take the vehicle to a mechanic.
Make sure you have appropriate tires.
Partially worn tires reduce your ability to stop or get going in snowy driving conditions. Winter tires have tread patterns and compounds that are specifically designed to grip snow and ice for good traction on slippery roads.
Pack an emergency kit.
It should include a flashlight, flares or reflective triangle, a distress sign, first aid supplies, basic tools, blankets, water, and a fully charged cell phone. If you have roadside assistance, store the number in a handy location.
THE PERFECT TREE!
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.

Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D. Rheumatoid
Arthritis Patient Should Continue Biweekly Injections
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 67-year-old healthy male, but I do take Humira for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It does a wonderful job for me with no side effects. It does such a good job that I can periodically extend the time between injections, such as one every three weeks instead of the recommended dose every two weeks. I can even go as long as six months between injections without noticing much of the RA symptoms.
My rheumatologist is aware of this and encourages me to use the lesser amount if I still get relief. My quandary is that I was recently talking to my gastroenterologist about Humira, and he said that they use a very similar drug for gastrointestinal issues. But apparently, you aren’t supposed to stop taking it consecutively because the body will become immune to the drug, and the drug can lose its effectiveness. Naturally, I don’t want to lose the great relief I am lucky to be getting, but I also know it’s a strong drug. It seems that the less I take of it, the better. -- J.C.
ANSWER: I share your gastroenterologist’s concern. He may be thinking of a similar medication, vedolizumab (Entyvio). When this drug is stopped in someone with Crohn’s disease, it will cause a flare-up in about half of the cases within six months. In a third of them, the medication will no longer be effective. The situation is similar with adalimumab (Humira), as there is the possibility of a relapse if you stop it entirely. Taking it every three weeks led to a flare-up in 36% of people who had their disease well-controlled for years. The researchers were unable to identify any way to predict who would flare up. Restarting Humira regained control for over half of the study participants -- but not everybody.
I do understand that these are powerful medicines with side effects. Even if you aren’t noticing any, many people will, and there can be very serious side effects to many organs. Fortunately, these are uncommon, and in most cases, it is far better to stay on the medicine, as long as you are being monitored.
As a medical student, I remember seeing what RA looked like before we had effective medications such as methotrexate and TNF inhibitors like Humira. Years of inflammation caused terrible hand deformities, mostly in the women I saw. Since you aren’t having any side effects, and it is working well, I don’t recommend the three-week dosing -- and certainly not six months between doses.
DR. ROACH WRITES: A recent column on hair loss and thyroid disease prompted many readers to write me with their experiences. One reader noted that increasing protein in their diet seemed to slow down hair loss and even cause some regrowth. Another reader recommended biotin. I often recommend this as a trial, despite a lack of good evidence that it works. Biotin is a B-type vitamin that is very safe, although it can interfere with a lab assay when it comes to thyroid levels and other hormone levels. Note that both hair loss and thyroid disease are very common, and it is not always the case that thyroid disease causes hair loss.
Are peripheral nerves vulnerable to injury? Peripheral nerves are fragile and easily damaged, so they are vulnerable to injury. Serious injury or trauma may require surgery, and the grade of severity, which can be determined using the Sunderland scale, will help doctors determine a treatment plan. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the importance of seeking immediate treatment for peripheral nerve injuries, as doing so can prevent complications and permanent nerve damage.
IMPROVE OVERALL ENDURANCE
Pushing oneself physically can be exhausting and demanding. But whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a part-time fitness enthusiast or even someone who lives a largely sedentary lifestyle, you can find ways to dig down and improve your overall endurance. Many athletes find pushing their bodies past certain boundaries to be empowering. Letting complacency set in is easy, but finding the motivation to press on and push ahead takes mental determination.

If you really want to delve into the origin of cookie cutters, you’d have to go a long way back to 2000 B.C. The tradition of molding sweet cakes into shapes began in Ancient Egypt and was later adopted by the inhabitants of Greece, Rome, and Western Europe. In the 1500s, the Germans started baking molds with intricate designs, out of which emerged oodles of gingerbread people, houses, trees, mountains, and whatnot. And by the 1800s, American tinsmiths had built cookie cutters and introduced them into the market for sale.

I cherish the loneliness of autumn.... I am forty, I have become mortal. I have no further psychic, emotional, or intellectual need to prolong summer seasons, and it is only when autumn begins its play that I can truly focus on therichandvitallifeIamliving.All of a sudden I grow alert. October is a hallelujah! reverberating in my body year-round.... The air is dusty,itsmellsofdrypineneedles; yet I sense imminent ice in the clear blue sky.... How I appreciate everything…fully! After all, tomorrow this reprieve will be buried by blizzards, crushed under slabs of doomsday ice. I cannot waste a minute indoors! I must take advantage of this gift, wedged so tentatively between summer’s hectic somnolence and winter’s harsh apogee.... Each perfect day, I know, is going to be the last beautiful day of autumn.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* At a loss of what to do with Christmas cards from years past? Why not try making a wreath? Cut out a large ring from a cardboard box or other sturdy material. Arrange cards at different angles around the circle. Add holiday picks and ribbon or a bow for depth.
* Having a holiday party? Put foods and drinks in separate areas, as these are places that guests tend to linger. With different stops for each, guests will not bunch up in one place trying to do both, and it actually encourages mingling!
* Looking for a great cause for gi ing this year? Go to www.charitynavigator.org to find out more about how your prospective charities rank in areas like CEO pay, money spent on fundraising, etc.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
WINTER COATS AND BOOTIES CAN KEEP PETS HEALTHY IN THE WINTER
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We had a cold snap a couple of weeks ago, and the morning temperature dipped below freezing. A er taking my Labradoodle, “Pierre,” for a walk around the block, I noticed he was shivering, and he walked with a tiny limp the rest of the day. He’s OK now, but it didn’t seem so cold when we went out. From now on, I’ll make sure he has a doggie sweater and booties on for walks, even if there is no snow on the ground. -- Sara in Bennington, Vermont
DEAR SARA: at’s a good plan. I’m glad Pierre is doing fine now, but I’m sure that was a scary lesson. Small dogs can be quickly affected by cold temperatures. Even when the weather is above freezing, their little bodies can get chilled very quickly.
Even large dogs can suffer from the cold. And ice-cold pavement can be dangerous for paws, no matter how big or small your dog is. e pads on their paws can get frostbitten. Dry, cold temperatures can cause the skin of the pads to chap and crack, resulting in a lot of discomfort.
Put a protective jumper or coat on your pet before going out when temperatures dip into the 40s (or single-digit Celsius). Booties will protect their paws from frozen sidewalks and from ice or other debris that might injure their pads. At the end of each walk, check their paws for cuts. If the pads appear dry, apply a balm for pet paws like Musher’s Secret, Bag Balm or Burt’s Bees.
Some dogs don’t like wearing booties or coats. Work with them between walks to make them more comfortable: Put their coat on in the house for a minute, then five, then 10. Same with the booties. Give them lots of praise and treats during the process; they’ll eventually tolerate it.

The Hubbards’ Festive Displays Bring Magic to Mount Morris
In the heart of Mount Morris, the Hubbard family is known for transforming their home into a seasonal wonderland of holiday lights and elaborate displays. From a Halloween pirate-themed extravaganza to a Christmas “Christmas Town” featuring Jack Skellington and his dog Zero, Alicia and Bryan Hubbard capture the imaginations of their community, creating a tradition that blends whimsy, creativity, and holiday magic.
Alicia and Bryan, originally from Rochester, have lived in Mount Morris since 2021. Prior to that, they spent a few years in Hornell, where their love for Halloween displays first took root. Alicia, a music therapist, works with individuals across various settings, while Bryan is a civil engineer with the New York State Department of Transportation. Together, they’ve poured their shared passions into their unique decorations, a tradition inspired by their love of Renaissance festivals and Disney magic. “It is because of our costumes we’ve built from attending all [of] these faires that brought our love of pirates to our Halloween décor,” Alicia says.
eir Halloween tradition dates back to 2017, when Bryan suggested dressing as pirates instead of buying new costumes for an event. at suggestion became a launching point for a now-beloved Halloween theme that evolves each year. e Hubbards’ yard features over 20 life-sized skeletons, two 12-foot-tall creatures, and this year, they added a striking headless horseman. Families exploring the display also participate in an interactive scavenger hunt featuring skeleton animals, a new feature Alicia said encourages visitors to slow down and take in all the details.
At the Hubbards’, when Halloween concludes, the transition to Christmas begins, and the home takes on an entirely different glow. eir Christmas display embraces a “Christmas Town” theme, where a towering 13-foottall Jack Skellington explores Christmas Town for the first time. He sings “Jack’s Lament” as a reminder that sometimes stepping outside one’s comfort zone can lead to growth and discovery. “It’s all about bringing magic and joy to the community,” Alicia says, emphasizing the importance of creating memorable moments for families who visit.
e Hubbards’ creativity knows no bounds. Social media o en serves as a wellspring of inspiration, and Alicia notes how this year’s holiday display includes a few new favorites. One whimsical touch is the “Skelletes,” a group of skeletons dressed as Rockettes, while another area features a sweet treats theme, complete with familiar characters. ese fresh elements complement the recurring themes, which the Hubbards adjust and expand each year, as Alicia explains, “We don’t change the theme per se, but we change up little things and add something new.”
Much of their motivation comes from their young son, who delights in seeing the displays evolve each morning, as well as the warm reactions Mu wh di

of neighbors and visitors. One highlight of their Christmas display is the “Santa Portal,” where children can watch Santa making toys, reading letters, and interacting with his elves. Alicia says it’s so special to see the joy on children’s faces as they catch a glimpse of the North Pole in action.
Community support plays a pivotal role in the Hubbards’ efforts. Earlier this year, their Halloween display won first place in a nationwide contest hosted by Frightmaps, thanks to the votes of local fans. e prize included projection tools from AtmosFX, which the Hubbards plan to incorporate into both their Halloween and Christmas displays.
While their displays are focused on their home, the Hubbards encourage otherstoexploreneighborhooddecorationsthroughappslikeFrightmaps and ChristmasPrism, which showcase festive homes across the country. Both apps feature the Hubbards’ home, providing inspiration and joy to holiday enthusiasts far and wide.
For the Hubbards, the lights and decorations are more than just a seasonal activity—they’re an expression of their creativity and a gi to the community. “ ere is nothing like seeing a community come together to bring lights, music, magic, and joy to the holiday season,” Alicia reflects. Whether it’s the laughter of children spotting a new skeleton or the awe of families admiring Jack Skellington, the Hubbards’ displays have become a cherished part of the holiday season in Mount Morris.
is year, as they light up their home (mid-November through the end of December), the Hubbards encourage visitors to follow their Facebook page, Me Hearty Haunts of Mount Morris, for updates on the display’s opening. “It is a public page, so no need to have a Facebook account to view it,” Alicia notes. Drive down Main Street, Mount Morris to check it out yourself.
With each passing year, the Hubbards continue to expand their themes, finding new ways to surprise and delight their audience. eir dedication to creating a magical experience ensures that their home will remain a beacon of holiday cheer in the community for years to come.

A Sweet Anniversary Surprise
Pj's in School!
We got take out from a local restaurant this past weekend and were lucky enough to have one of the owners helping us check out. When I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary, he was so nice to run back and give us two slices of their peanut butter pies to celebrate. Thank you for making our anniversary even sweeter!
Honest, Caring People
On Tuesday, November 19th I foolishly left my purse in the shopping cart in front of the big box store and drove off. Shortly after, I realized I left it and hurriedly drove back. There in the parking lot I saw a young man heading into the store with my purse. I called out to him and retrieved my purse. My God, what a feeling of relief. Never got his name but he was a caring and honest man. Thank you for being who you are. Your parents raised a special young man.
Recently I was talking to a young person who attends a local junior high school. She told me that students are now allowed to wear pajama pants to school. What's next? Bringing their pillows and blankets? Whatever happened to schools being a place where education and discipline in life were taught? What role are our tax funded Administrators/ Principals playing in all of this? I was also told that swearing has become common among the students and is being tolerated. The saddest thing was when I asked this young person why they thought all of this was allowed and she said it was because the principal and teachers don't care. Is this what our school system in NY has become? Why don't we just allow all students to stay at home and get their education online? Why are our tax paying dollars going into keeping up with these expensive buildings just to become a free for all for the students?
Sidewalks Were Invented for a Reason
On Saturday while driving in our village, I saw four separate instances of people walking in the road with the sidewalk right there. You know, that cement thing that you bought with your taxes specifically for pedestrians to walk on so they’d be safe. You somehow think it’s cool and fun to walk in the road for no reason whatsoever. Your recklessness is not appreciated.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
By Lucie Winborne
* Had Georgie Fletcher of Australia never signed on to play the mobile game “Words With Friends,” her husband, Simon, might be dead. Georgie struck up a friendship via the game’s chat feature with frequent opponent Beth Legler from Missouri. One day, Georgie told Beth that Simon hadn’t been feeling well. Beth relayed his symptoms to her husband Larry, a doctor, who insisted that the Fletchers go to the hospital immediately. A 99% blockage was discovered near his heart, which, left untreated, would have certainly been fatal.
* The process of things being stretched out and torn apart as they enter a black hole is called spaghettification.
* Our senses of taste and smell are cut by 50% and 20%, respectively, during flights, which is why airplane food has never tasted so hot. (“That’s what I’ve been telling you!” said every airplane food chef, ever.)

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION
Get professional advice: Many homeowners are under the impression that doing the work themselves can save a considerable amount of money. This may be the case for homeowners with renovation experience. But by and large, professional contractors are an asset to any renovation. They can provide a realistic overview of the project, map out projected costs, point out areas that could be troublesome, and may have industry contacts that can keep supply costs low. Even if a homeowner will do a portion of the job, a contractor can do the bulk of the work and keep the project on budget.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to Mental Health America, individuals’ reactions to the death of a loved one can elicit unique emotions linked to their relationship to the deceased. For example, MHA, a community-based nonprofit focused on promoting mental health, notes that a child’s death could inspire different feelings than the loss of an elderly spouse. When parents lose a child, that death may arouse a sense of injustice that can overwhelm the child’s parents as they contemplate lost potential, unfulfilled dreams and, in certain instances, the child’s suffering. Elderly individuals who lose a spouse may be overcome by feelings of loneliness. Recognition of these different reactions is important because it can help individuals and their support networks more effectively cope with their grief.

Flower Meanings
If you would like to customize your arrangement of funeral flowers further, there are more flower meanings that might express your sentiments in this time of grief and remembrance. Though they may not be the traditional funeral flowers, any flowers that share your sympathy with the bereaved and celebrate the deceased’s memory are appropriate for a funeral. The xeranthemum symbolizes eternity and immortality. Cyclamens say “goodbye”¤? and forget-me-nots send a message of faithful love and memories. Marjoram conveys comfort and consolation. The nasturtium celebrates patriotism. If you are aware of flowers that were a favorite of the deceased or that a member of the bereaved family particularly favors, those blooms may also be a good choice for a funeral gift. Whatever flowers you choose to send, your thoughtful message of sympathy will certainly be a comfort to those who are mourning the loss of a loved one.

Stir together 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling, 1 tsp lemon juice and 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries or 1 pkg. (16 ounces) frozen strawberries, thawed. (Or you can just use cherry pie filling on each slice.)
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Butter a baking pan, 13"x9"X2". In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until foamy. Beat in 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time and continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not under beat. Spread in the pan. Bake 1 hour. Turn off the oven; leave meringue in the oven with the door closed for 12 hours or longer. In a chilled bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff. Blend cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and the vanilla. Gently fold the whipped cream and marshmallows into the cream cheese mixture, spread over the meringue. Chill 12 to 24 hours. Cut into serving pieces and top with the cherry berry topping.
