PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Solving a Litter Box Mystery

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m responding to your recent column about the kitten who won’t litter train. I’ve had kitties for over 50 years. e only time one of my kittens had trouble using the litter box, I made sure to watch him the next time he started sni ng around. It turned out that the sides of the litter box were too high! I replaced it with a litter box that had lower sides and it solved the problem. Love your column! -- Linda P., Williamson, New York

DEAR LINDA: ank you for the advice! Cats are experts at hiding their problems, and it can be di cult to see if a training issue is something to do with behavior, health problems or something else.

Your advice to observe the kitten closely, without interfering as it goes about its business, is perfect. If you’ve got time to follow a kitten around the house from a distance, that’s great. Of course, many of us are busy or have to leave the house for most of the day for work. One way to get around that is to use an indoor security camera -- one of the small cameras available for purchase online like a Blink or a SimpliSafe -- and point it at the litter box. You can observe activity around the box while you’re away (or in another room).

In this instance, the sides of the box were simply too high! A quick x got the kitten back on track.

Now, what if you observe something else, like the kitten showing distress just before it pees or poops?

Or interference from another kitten or cat? Contact your veterinarian for advice, a checkup if needed, and an action plan to solve the litter box mystery.

Ghost Stories Feature Dansville-Wayland Trio

BY AMANDA DUDEK

October: a time for ghosts and goblins, spiders and skeletons, mummies and all that is macabre. Long shadows are cast by orange moonlight, and mysterious evening sounds usher children home early. It’s Halloween.

Perhaps you stay in and hand out candy. Maybe you take your children to a Trunk or Treat event or walk around your neighborhood and call it a night. You may even be a Halloween superfan who goes to every haunted house, hayride, and corn maze within a 30-mile radius! Regardless, almost everyone enjoys a good ghost story. e tales around Lackawanna Limited Wreck, Dansville’s Castle on the Hill, and the Greenmount Cemetery in Dansville are sure to bring you a “spirited” scare this season!

Lackawanna Limited Wreck - Old Railroad Tracks, Wayland

Along Route 15, heading south of Wayland and reportedly not far from where Gunlocke now stands, sit old railroad tracks which were once the scene of a terrible tragedy.

On Monday, August 30th, 1943, the Lackawanna Limited, a “ yer” traveling at about 70 mph, collided with a switcher freight train, the engine of which was still partially on the main line. Speeding ahead as all signals gave it the “all clear,” the yer sideswiped the freight locomotive’s engine, tearing the switcher’s side and releasing an enormous amount of scalding steam into Coach 6 of the 11-car yer.

Several passengers in Coach 6 quickly perished from the blistering steam; a few others passed away later from the injuries they sustained during the accident. Still another, Frank Meincke of Scranton, superintendent of locomotives, escaped through a window only to be crushed by the Lackawanna Limited’s engine when the train overturned in the crash. All told, 29 Lackawanna Limited passengers – men, women, and children – died from the wreck.

It is rumored that the old train tracks outside of Wayland are haunted by the restless spirits of the 29 unfortunate Lackawanna Limited passengers. Interestingly, Coach 6 – sometimes referred to as Passenger Car 5 or “ e Death Car,” found its way into the hands of the Midwestern Railway Preservation Society in Cleveland, Ohio. ere, its windows are said to slam without explanation, and the spirits are rumored to awaken whenever the car moves.

Jackson Sanitorium

Situated on a hillside stretching along the Village of Dansville’s eastern edge, stand the remnants of the palatial Jackson Sanitorium, widely referred to as the Castle on the Hill. Rochester businessman Nathaniel Bingham rst opened the sanitorium in 1854 as e Dansville Water Cure, touting the healing mineral properties of Dansville’s spring water. “ e water cure was based on the belief that pure water was the key to good health and long life,” said Dansville Area Historical Society historian David Gilbert.

In 1858, e Dansville Water Cure came into the possession of Dr. James Caleb Jackson, o en credited with the invention of Granula, and the castle became the Jackson Sanitorium. Attracting several famous guests such as Clara Barton and Horace Greeley, the Jackson Sanitorium operated until 1914. In 1929, the former sanatorium was purchased by Bernarr Macfadden and became the Physical Culture Hotel.

In 1971, the castle closed its doors for good, followed by a handful of brief e orts. For nearly 50 years, the castle has remained empty. Decayed, deteriorating, and considered abandoned by some, the former sanitorium has attracted rumors of hauntings, including overheard whispers, felt presence, unexplained noises, and shadowy gures.

Special thanks to David Gilbert for historical (non-haunting related) facts regarding Dansville’s “Castle on the Hill.”

Greenmount Cemetery - Dansville

Bordering the banks of Mill Creek, Greenmount Cemetery can be found just south of the Village of Dansville. However, the home of several of its headstones was the Old Dansville Village Cemetery, also known as the Old Village Cemetery or the Old Burying Ground. is is now Pioneer Park, bounded by Bank, Church, School, and West Liberty Streets in the village.

e Old Dansville Village Cemetery’s remaining headstones were moved to Greenmount Cemetery by 1888. However, most of those interred at the former cemetery were allegedly le behind. At Pioneer Park, an historical marker reads, “Early Cemetery: Revolutionary War Veteran Nathaniel Porter, buried 1797. Some early residents still interred here a er headstones removed in 19th C. William C. Pomeroy Foundation 2018 319.”

According to Jane Schryver and Bob Glover, “Greenmount Cemetery has gravestones dating back to the Civil War. ere are believed to be unmarked graves as well as grave markers moved there from the Old Village Cemetery... e rst burial was that of Nathaniel Porter, one of the rst settlers in Dansville in 1797.”

e Painted Hills Genealogy Society states, “In 2017, e Town of North Dansville approved the erection of the old Nathaniel Porter tombstone [in Pioneer Park], with an updated bronze plaque, per the request of Nathaniel’s 4th great-grandson, retired Colonel Grant Porter, on the plot of Capt. Porter’s, son, Matthew Porter, in Section L, located in the upper le corner of the cemetery.”

Today, Greenmount Cemetery is said to be haunted by Old Dansville Village Cemetery ghosts searching for their headstones.

RAVES

Thanks, Canandaigua!

The Canandaigua Rotary Club collects roadside debris along Routes 5 & 20. We seem to be collecting less each pick-up. Of equal importance are those measures taken by this area's homeowners and businesses in keeping their yards, drives, and parking lots free of debris, making for more visually healthy scenery. For your efforts and dedication, we thank each of you!

An Angel of Mercy

Many thanks to Lisa who came to my rescue on Friday. After sitting in the parking lot of a local school watching the sky and listening to the radio, I found my car battery dead when I went to return home. To top it off, my cellphone was dead, too! I am a senior in poor shape but managed to get home where I was able to contact a friend for help. She drove me back to my car. She will

Can you read?

Recently, it was the town festival. There were “No Parking” signs all over as well as “No Trespassing” signs. Rude people just parked any place and anywhere they wanted. Signs are up for a reason. You are lucky your vehicle wasn’t towed away at your risk. Wake up, people, and learn to read or maybe get an eye exam. Respect signs. Read before you park. It may save you hassle in the future. Does this mean you? You moved my cones from my driveway, went through my yard and my garden, and knocked my rhubarb patch to the ground. Use the road to go where you are going. We all need to use common sense these days.

So Rude

Why do people have to be so rude? One young guy at a [local business] was working with another young guy, putting things on the shelves. I needed gas. He came over, got right in my face and said, “What an [obscenity].” While I was driving (I was tired.), some guy yelled out, “What an old [obscenity]” Then, to top it off, I was visiting a therapist, and in the lobby, a stranger said (loudly and with lots of people around), “You’re worthless!” I felt even sadder. This is the new trend.

Handicap Parking for a Reason

To the person who ranted about handicap parking abuse: I agree that there is an element of abuse with the use of handicap parking permits. However, not all people who have a disability that qualifies for special parking are elderly. Just because someone is younger, it does not mean that they aren’t disabled. Plus, not all disabilities are visible to the naked eye. Someone may have a mobility issue that requires extra space to enter or exit their vehicle. A woman may be pregnant and having a difficult pregnancy, and under doctor’s orders, needs to limit walking long distances. As for the people wearing a nametag for work and parking in a handicap spot, people with disabilities often work a part-time job. You never know what a person is going through, and not all physical disabilities are visually obvious. So, don’t judge when you haven’t a clue about the person you are judging. Show some kindness and understanding, instead of assuming the worst about someone!

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER

One of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of falls is to improve lighting around the home. The National Institutes of Health state that adequate lighting is important at entrances to the home, stairways, hallways, and other frequently traversed areas. Make sure lighting fixtures are using the highest wattage light bulb allowed. Artificial lighting sources become even more vital in fall and autumn, when natural light is less abundant in a home. In addition, install lighting outdoors by the front door, over the garage and where garbage pails are stored to facilitate safe passage.

CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE A PART OF HOME SAFETY

Even though chimneys do not require daily upkeep, regular maintenance efforts help chimneys operate safely and prevent deaths and injuries while protecting homes from fire.

Various problems can arise when chimneys are not well maintained. Such problems include chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and early failure of the chimney and heating sources that the chimney vents.

Carbon monoxide can be scary, as it is virtually invisible without a proper detector. The National Vital Statistics System says that, in 2015, 393 deaths resulted from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning in the United States. When carbon monoxide is breathed in, it builds up quickly and combines with the blood, reducing the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. The Canada Safety Council says that body tissue and cells can’t function without oxygen.

Chimney fires are another potential byproduct of poor chimney maintenance. The Chimney Safety Institute of America notes that chimneys expel the byproducts of combustion, including smoke, water vapor, gases, unburned wood particles, hydrocarbon, tar fog, and assorted minerals, which can condense on the inside of the chimney flue. The residue, called creosote, is highly combustible. With the right conditions, a chimney fire can occur.

Breast Cancer Awareness SERIES

Sponsored By:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

FAQ

What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?

Treatment for breast cancer is o en successful. For example, data from the American Society of Clinical Oncology indicates that the ve-year survival rate for women diagnosed with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer is 90 percent, while the average 10-year survival rate for such cancers is 84 percent. ose gures re ect advancements in treatment and the e ectiveness of campaigns designed to encourage women to receive routine breast cancer screenings as part of their preventive health care regimens.

Once doctors have diagnosed breast cancer, they will consider a host of factors as they try to determine a course of treatment.

Stage e National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. notes that treatment options depend on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage is usually expressed in a numerical value between 0 and IV, with 0 being the least severe form of the disease and IV being the most advanced (i.e., metastatic).

Tumor size and location e Cleveland Clinic notes that the size and location of the tumor also a ects how doctors will approach treatment. In general, the smaller the tumor, the easier it is to treat the disease. Where in the breast the tumor is located will also a ect the treatment plan. Doctors o en employ a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to treat breast cancer, and such an approach may be more likely to be employed if the tumor is large.

Pathology tests Pathology is the science of causes and e ects of diseases. When treating patients for breast cancer, doctors order pathology tests so they can better understand how the disease is a ecting their patients’ bodies. For example, the Cleveland Clinic notes that pathology tests like hormone receptor tests and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu) can indicate if

hormones or growth factors are helping the cancer grow. e results of these and other pathology tests can then help doctors determine an e ective course of treatment.

Personal characteristics Doctors will consider woman’s age, general health and family history when mapping a course of treatment. In addition, doctors discuss menopause with women when determining a course of treatment. Breastcancer. org notes that some breast cancer treatments can bring on menopause more abruptly than it would happen otherwise, so doctors will consider a woman’s history with menopause when determining treatment.

DID YOU KNOW?

The planet is comprised of a remarkable set of organisms that, when working correctly, produce some awe-inspiring results. However, the Earth is constantly under attack from a growing population and the mechanisms of man that can have very real environmental impacts. Education is the key to inciting real change. One in four mammals is at risk of extinction, while 78 percent of marine mammals are threatened by an early and preventable death due to getting caught in fishing nets intended for other species. Furthermore, at least 50 million acres of rainforest are lost every year, totaling an area the size of Great Britain, says the organization Solar Energy World. By making real changes, including recycling, cutting down on emissions and protecting wildlife habitats, individuals can help to preserve the world’s resources for many years to come.

DID YOU KNOW?

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children.

Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

Beginner’s Guide to Fall Planting and Maintenance

• Think about fall annuals and bulb planting. Near the end of September, start planting cool-weather-loving pansies and violas for pops of color as summer flowers fade. Also, it’s a good idea to stock up on bulbs that will bloom in the months to come before they sell out in stores. Wait until the temperatures really cool down before planting them in desired spots for spring sprouts.

• Sow salad seeds. Lettuce, spinach, radishes, and arugula tolerate cooler temperatures. Try new and interesting lettuce varieties and enjoy salads well into the fall season.

• Take inventory of the sun. Positioning a garden carefully means maximizing hours of sunlight, which begin to dwindle in the fall. Experts say gardens grow best in sunny locations that receive six hours of direct sunlight each day. This is where container gardens can be helpful, as they allow gardeners to move plants into spots that will get ample sunlight.

• Fill in landscaping gaps. Some fall plants can add color around the landscape and brighten up homes to add curb appeal. In addition to pansies and violas, asters, kale and chrysanthemums are fall blooms. Keep in mind that mums can come back year after year. So take them out of those flower pots and get them into the ground. They can be enjoyed next year as well, sprouting in early spring and developing leaves and buds through late summer.

• Clean up unwanted growth. Fall is an ideal time to cut back spent vegetable plants and get rid of errant weeds. Rather than bagging leaves, mow them with a grass catcher and then add the mix to a vegetable garden as an excellent soil insulator. The nitrogen and carbon will fertilize the soil, enhancing growing possibilities and limiting weed growth.

• Propagate plants in the fall. As temperatures gradually begin to cool, start taking cuttings from perennials, gathering seed pods from azaleas and rhododendrons and dividing hardwood cuttings, says the resource Gardening Know How. Consult with a garden center or horticulturist on the proper ways to propagate stems using rooting hormone and other techniques.

• Continue to water plants. Water is essential in the fall and winter as roots can still be growing. Gradually reduce watering duration as plants go dormant.

plans offer rebates to consumers who have memberships at fitness facilities and use those memberships a certain number of times in a set period of time. These benefits aren’t just ways to save money. They’re also powerful motivators to engage in preventive health care, which is one of the best ways for health care consumers to save money over the long haul.

Care

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances made by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream.

hormones can cause certain cancers to grow. If tests show that the cancer cells have places where hormones can attach (receptors), drugs, surgery, or radiation therapy is used to reduce the production of hormones or block them from working. The hormone estrogen, which makes some breast cancers grow, is made mainly by the ovaries. Treatment to stop the ovaries from making estrogen is called ovarian ablation.

Hormone therapy with tamoxifen is often given to patients with early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery and those with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). Hormone therapy with tamoxifen or estrogens can act on cells all over the body and may increase the chance of developing endometrial cancer. Women taking tamoxifen should have a pelvic exam every year to look for any signs of cancer. Any vaginal bleeding, other than menstrual bleeding, should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.

Hormone therapy with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist is given to some premenopausal women who have just been diagnosed with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. LHRH agonists decrease the body’s estrogen and progesterone.

Hormone therapy with an aromatase inhibitor is given to some postmenopausal women who have hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the body’s estrogen by blocking an enzyme called aromatase from turning androgen into estrogen. Anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are types of aromatase inhibitors. For the treatment of early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery, certain aromatase inhibitors may be used as adjuvant therapy insteadoftamoxifenorafter2to3yearsoftamoxifenuse.Forthetreatment of metastatic breast cancer, aromatase inhibitors are being tested in clinical trials to compare them to hormone therapy with tamoxifen. Other types of hormone therapy include megestrol acetate or antiestrogen therapy such as fulvestrant.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, people with a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s disease are morelikelytodevelopthediseasethan those who do not have a first-degree relative with Alzheimer’s. In addition, those who have more than one firstdegree relative with Alzheimer’s are at an even greater risk of getting Alzheimer’s. Though family history is not necessary for an individual to develop Alzheimer’s, the AA notes that researchers have identified hereditary Alzheimer’s genes. For example, researchers estimate that between 40 and 65 percent of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s have the APOE-e4 gene. APOE-e4 is characterized as a risk gene because it increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s but does not guarantee it will happen. The gene is inherited from a parent, and people who inherit two copies of APOE-e4 from their mother and father have a higher risk for Alzheimer’s than those who inherit one copy of the gene from their mother or father. The AA also notes that researchers have found deterministic genes that cause Alzheimer’s. However, these genes are rare and have only been found in a few hundred families across the globe, accounting for 1 percent or less of all Alzheimer’s cases.

Case of Enlarged Pelvic Veins Is Not a Cause for Concern

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 71-year-old female with no children, but I did have an ectopic pregnancy at age 43. Other than that, I have had no “female” issues. I was getting a CT scan for my spleen area, when it was discovered that I had enlarged pelvic veins in my groin. I don’t have pelvic pain, nor do I have pain with sex. So, the only symptoms I do have, which may or may not be related, are bloating and some constipation.

I have seen a vascular surgeon and a urogynocologist to ask about this condition and if I need “treatment” for it. Both were rather vague, saying if I’m not experiencing pain, I should just get it imaged every year. Is that sound advice? Can the veins twist and cause blockage? Can they cause a blood clot? I can’t really get any info on it. -- J.F.

ANSWER: Although advanced imaging like CT and MRI scans have led physicians to be able to make more precise diagnoses than before, there is an issue of what to do with “incidental” findings. Many people have written to me about small tumors (which are far more common than we thought), but enlarged pelvic veins are another example of an incidental finding. Some women do have a condition called “pelvic congestion syndrome,” which is a cause of pelvic pain that is worsened by prolonged standing or sexual activity. This condition is found in women in the reproductive age group, especially those who have had multiple children, but is not found in menopausal women. Since you aren’t in the age group and don’t have symptoms, you clearly don’t have pelvic congestion syndrome.

Dilated veins in the legs are simply called varicose veins, and they are often due to loss in function of the valves in our legs as we age. Pelvic vein enlargement is the same thing: Veins get bigger as we age.

There are cases of blood clots in the pelvic veins, but it is not clear whether a person like you is at increased risk. I don’t see the need to repeat the imaging studies.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Workouts at the Rec Center

Two months ago the senior center commandeered a large space in the town’s rec center because we had vetoed the idea of exercise classes in a too-small space at the senior center.

It was a two-month test, warned the senior center, to see if we’d actually show up. ey even brought in a too-young male coach to put us through our paces. Although we were suspicious about his age, by the third week we agreed he knew his stu .

And he himself brought in an even younger female assistant who stayed at the front of the room demonstrating the exercises while the young male coach paced around the room, expression serious, studying us, stopping us in mid-move to instruct and praising where warranted.

Two weeks ago he brought in yet another assistant and broke us into two groups across the rec center oor. He labeled us “Easy” and “Not Easy,” saying that some of us needed to take things more slowly while others needed to put more e ort into the workout. Try as I might to get transferred to the Easy group, he was having none of it.

He worked hard on our behalf, badgering the rec center to open up the weight room so he could give out some hand weights. He coaxed the local sporting goods store into donating some stretchy bands and yoga mats. Last week he brought in a diet handout, foods to eat to build muscle.

We discovered just this week, however, that we’ve all been guinea pigs, that our too-young male coach was using us as his senior tness specialist project for college. Color us shocked! We weren’t sure how we felt about that until we learned that he’d earned an “A” on the project.

e other good news is that they’ve hired our too-young male coach and his two assistants on a permanent basis. And we get to stay at the rec center.

INDICATORS IT’S TIME TO CHANGE AIR FILTERS

Vehicle maintenance can protect drivers’ investments and help their automobiles run efficiently. One area drivers should pay particular attention to is their vehicles’ air filters. When operating at optimal capacity, an air filter improves fuel efficiency while ensuring vehicles accelerate smoothly without taxing the engine. But when air filters are clogged, fuel efficiency is reduced and emissions are increased, a 1-2 punch that costs motorists money and hurts the planet at the same time. Drivers can check their owners’ manuals to determine the recommended intervals to replace air filters, but the following are a handful of indicators that suggest it’s time to change them.

Gas mileage: Unless you just purchased your vehicle, you likely know how many miles you can drive on a full tank of gas. If that gas mileage is suddenly slipping and you find yourself visiting the filling station more frequently, then it might be time to replace your air filter.

Engine light: Drivers may be alerted to engine issues when the “Check engine” lights up on the vehicle’s dashboard. This light may come on to indicate a problem with the air filter, as clogged air filters reduce air flow to the engine, resulting in an imbalanced air-fuel mixture that adversely affects the engine.

Starting and idling problems: Vehicles sometimes don’t start up as smoothly as they once did, and drivers may also notice vehicles are not idling smoothly. These symptoms may indicate misfiring spark plugs that are being polluted (and made less effective) by a dirty air filter that is reducing the flow of air to the engine.

Acceleration difficulties: Automobiles that are operating at peak capacity accelerate quickly. But dirty, worn out air filters adversely affect acceleration. Drivers who notice that their cars are struggling to accelerate when stoplights turn green or on highways may need to replace their vehicles’ air filters.

Dirty air filter: Perhaps the biggest indicator that an air filter needs to be replaced is the filter itself. If you cannot find the air filter on your own, consult your vehicle owner’s manual to determine where it is. Once you find the air filter, examine it in broad daylight. Clean air filters are white, so if the filter has darkened, it may need to be replaced.

An estimated 154,794 Americans are currently living with metastatic breast cancer, which occurs when cancer in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, most often the lungs, liver, bones, and brain. One quarter of this number represents those whose metastatic disease was found at diagnosis, while three-quarters have experienced metastatic recurrence of early stage disease. Approximately 20% to 30% of people first diagnosed with early stage disease will later develop advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent 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’ financial futures.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Halloween can be a spooky good time for children and adults alike, but the cost of costumes can be downright scary. When I was a child, my brother and I dressed as a pirate and a gypsy, respectively, for several years, as they were costumes that could be put together using things you might find around the house. This week, a focus on inexpensive or FREE Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween!

* Most anyone can come up with a ghost costume (basically, a white sheet with eyes cut out and cut off at the bottom so it’s not too long).

How about dressing up that ghost with costume jewelry and makeup, or a mustache/beard drawn on, with a tie and carrying a briefcase labeled “Scare Corporation”? Use hats or other dress-up accessories to make Dr. Ghost or Officer Ghost. The possibilities are endless.

* A basic scarecrow needs only a flannel shirt, a pair of jeans and socks, a floppy hat and some straw. Stuff wadded-up plastic bags into shirt or pants to fill, then use rubber bands to secure straw at the cuffs. Paint on a funny face. (Thanks J.R. in Illinois.)

* Be an over-the-top tourist: A loud Hawaiian-style shirt paired with a pair of shorts, perhaps socks with sandals? Carry a camera on a strap around your neck. Use a small carryon bag as your treat bag, or decorate a paper sack by gluing on squares cut from a map.

* Be Static Cling! Use safety pins to pin a variety of small items to your outfit -- think socks, scarves, even a pair of undies if you dare! Tease hair until it’s standing straight up, and use hairspray to keep it that way.
