IDEAS FOR FAST AND EASY ENTERTAINING
Get creative with serving dishes. Muffin tins can be put to use in different ways as handy serving dishes. Use them to keep several filled beverages upright and manageable when serving guests. Or try a tin for condiments at a barbecue. Place pickles, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onions in each section for easy burger fixings.

FIRE SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN HOLIDAY DECORATING
Ask an electrician to inspect your exterior outlets and circuits. Ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent electric shocks and reduce the risk of electrical fires. Most areas now require new homes be built exclusively with GFCIs, which are recognizable because they feature two buttons between the outlets. But older homes may not be equipped with GFCIs, particularly with exterior outlets. GFCI installation is not an especially expensive job, so homeowners should ask an electrician to inspect their interior and exterior outlets and replace non-GFCIs with GFCIs.
MAKE THE HOLIDAY SEASON MORE ECO-FRIENDLY
Create an eco-friendly party theme. Many holiday parties have themes. For example, “ugly sweater parties” have become so popular that many clothing manufacturers now intentionally produce colorful sweaters that might otherwise draw the ire of fashionistas. Hosts planning to throw an ugly sweater party can easily transform such festivities into something more eco-friendly by encouraging guests to purchase their sweaters from thrift stores. A Christmas tree planting party is another eco-friendly party theme that can benefit the planet and revitalize local forests at a time of year when they might be depleted due to the demand for natural Christmas trees.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My next-door neighbor puts out food for all of the outdoor cats in the area. at includes a lot of strays who are now mingling with the cats who have homes. She even buys specialty cat food if she thinks they don’t like what she’s offering. I think this is a dangerous situation, because the cats may be exposed to diseases from the strays. What should I say to her to stop this? -- Concerned Next Door
DEAR NEXT DOOR: If you’re on polite terms with the neighbor, go over and talk to her about the issue, calmly. Explain your concerns and let her know that some of those cats have homes and owners who may not be happy about their cats being fed somewhere else. However, if you’re not comfortable speaking directly with her -- or if the conversation accomplishes nothing -- you will need to consider other routes.
If you have a neighborhood HOA, bring up the issue in a community meeting. e cats’ owners may not be aware of what’s going on. If you don’t have an HOA, try discussing the issue with the other owners directly. Explain that their cats are at risk of contracting diseases common among strays, like FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) or could be injured in a territorial fight. e least painful solution is for cat owners to keep their outdoor cats inside and away from the neighbor. en contact your local animal control. Now, animal control doesn’t always intervene in these situations, but if they feel that the strays are a danger to other pets, they may come out and try to trap and remove them to a shelter, or at least have a talk with your neighbor about putting food out.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* For every degree you lower your thermostat during the heating season, you generally reduce your energy costs by 3% daily. Also, turn down the temperature setting on your hot water heater.
* Here’s a no-fail strategy for raking up leaves: Rake leaves into a single long line, preferably onto a sidewalk. en turn a large garbage can on its side and sweep the leaf pile into the can, breaking to empty leaves into bags as needed. e raking goes much quicker when done in “stripes.” And bagging is faster as well.
* If you have an ink stain on fabric, try blotting it with hairspray. Saturate the ink spot with hairspray and blot using a clean white cloth or non-decorated paper towel. Repeat until all the ink is gone. Make sure you test on an inconspicuous area first.

Pay for a veteran’s night out on the town. Like many people, veterans appreciate an escape from the daily grind. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to veterans can treat a veteran to a night out on the town. Have extra tickets to a ballgame or play? Donate them to a local VFW. Or if you see a veteran out on the town, offer to pay for his meal.
Although raking leaves may not be the average homeowner’s favorite activity, it is a healthy one. Various muscles are worked when raking, which also is a good form of cardiovascular exercise. In fact, a person who weighs 180 pounds can expect to burn more than 350 calories raking leaves for an hour.

Across America:
Remember • Honor • Teach
BY TOWN OF CANANDAIGUA’S WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE
As we appreciate Autumn in our beautiful region this season, let’s not forget the history that lies beneath the rolling hills and pretty lakes. Many of the little cemeteries tucked away in fields and off the beaten paths are the resting places of those who le farms, businesses and families to secure us peace and freedom. e stones and markers of those who fought in the Revolutionary War to our presentday conflicts are there and hopefully not forgotten.
ese stones have much to tell us about the individuals’ lives. Beyond birth and death dates, they o en provide relationships. In addition, epitaphs, together with public records, can provide a record of war, the economy, and the movement of people. Most older burial grounds were originally bequeathed to family and neighbors by private landowners. When cemeteries closed, they were passed on to town ownership, as were the cemeteries in the Town of Canandaigua.
Wreaths Across America (WAA) started as a simple gesture of thanksthathasgrownintoanational,year-longmovementofdedicated volunteers and communities coming together to remember the nation’s fallen and honor their service and to teach the next generation about the value of freedom. is year, there will be more than 4,500 participating locations, placing more than three million handmade veterans’ wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, December 14, 2024 – with more than three million volunteers coming together. Participating locations are in all 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and on foreign soil. ese wreaths are delivered through the generosity of hundreds of volunteer truck drivers and their companies.
e mission of Wreaths Across America is to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom.
Academy Cemetery in 2023.
For the second year, two historic cemeteries in the Town of Canandaigua – Hunn Cemetery and Academy Cemetery – will host ceremonies on Saturday, December 14 at 12 Noon in conjunction with others across the nation, including Arlington National Cemetery. Hunn Cemetery, located at 5821 County Rd 32, contains the graves of 14 Revolutionary War veterans and one veteran from the War of 1812. Academy Cemetery, at 5200-5298 Old West Lake Road, is the resting place of 48 veterans and honors seven Civil War veterans on a monument dedicated on October 8, 1923.
A er the ceremony, guests present may place a wreath on a veteran’s grave, say their name aloud, and thank them for their service. Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and Civil War re-enactors, as well as guest speakers, will salute those who simply did their duty when called upon.
e goal for Hunn Cemetery (NYHUNN) is to raise enough funds to place 15 sponsored veterans’ wreaths. e goal for Academy Cemetery (NYACAD) is to place 49 sponsored veterans’ wreaths at

the monument and the headstones. It’s important to remember all local heroes laid to rest in our cemeteries, to ensure that the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.
Other cemeteries in Ontario County also take part in National Wreaths Across America Day. Among them are Farmington’s South Farmington Friends Cemetery (NYSFCF); and Middlesex’s Overacker Cemetery (NYOVCK).
A er a ceremony at the historic Bristol Center Church, the Bristol Hills Historical Society (NY0417P) and volunteers will place wreaths at their area cemeteries: the Bristol Center Cemetery and the Vincent Hill Cemetery (NYBRCT); the Coye Cemetery and the Wilder Cemetery (NYCOYE); and the Evergreen Cemetery of Bristol (NYEVGN).
In Victor, the Town Hall (NYVTHV) will host a ceremony, while three locations place wreaths immediately following their ceremonies: Boughton Hill Cemetery (NYBHLL), St. Patrick’s Catholic Cemetery (NYSPKC), and Village of Victor Cemetery (NYVGVC).
Today, many of us go about our busy lives without thinking much about the heritage war veterans secured for us. A ceremony, such as those on National Wreaths Across America Day, makes us step aside from our routine and focus on something else. As we place wreaths on veterans’ graves and say the names of these men and women, followed with a word of thanks for their service, we pay honor to those who have . . . and still do . . . heed a higher call.
e outstanding success of WAA is a testament to the fact that many Americans value the importance of this outward sign of inner gratitude. Priorities change with age, and honoring our heroes seems to come more naturally as we grow older. WAA’s year-round events enable us to TEACH the younger generation by example.
All National Wreaths Across America Day events are non-political, non-religiousevents,andopentoeveryone.Ifyouwouldliketosponsor a wreath, or sign up to volunteer, visit www.WreathsAcrossAmerica. org.

How Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Affects Older Women
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had all the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) when I was younger. I could go six months without having my period. I had all the other symptoms, too, like oily skin and facial hair. It’s a terrible thing for a young teenage girl. I also had trouble getting pregnant; though, fortunately, Clomid worked well for me during both of my pregnancies.
My question is, how does PCOS affect older women? My doctor doesn’t know. Is this why my hair is thinning so badly? What else can I expect now that I’m older? (I’m 66 now, and I had menopause at 51.) What can I do about it? I still have hot flashes and thinning hair. -- L.L.P.
ANSWER: I’m sorry that you aren’t getting good advice. PCOS doesn’t go away after menopause, but it’s harder to diagnose. There aren’t good data to help guide treatment, so understanding what’s happening at a biochemical level is important. Although cysts in the ovaries are usually seen with PCOS, the most important parts of the diagnosis have more to do with androgen excess (male hormones) and abnormal ovulation. Insulin resistance is also an important part of PCOS, with or without obesity.
The androgen excess is responsible for oily skin and facial hair, and it’s partially responsible for insulin resistance. As women age, most androgen levels tend to return to normal, but women still may have some residual symptoms. Although any woman can get female-pattern hair loss (overall thinning of the hair, often worst in the center part), women with PCOS are at a higher risk for developing this type.
However, women with PCOS may also occasionally develop male-pattern hair loss (a receding hairline and thinning on the crown) when the ovaries produce excess male hormones and fewer female hormones. Treatment with the antiandrogen medication finasteride seems particularly promising, and topical (or low-dose oral) minoxidil can be helpful. A dermatologist who specializes in hair loss should be the expert in the management of PCOS-associated female-pattern hair loss.
In addition, the excess male hormones may play a role in increasing a postmenopausal woman’s risk for heart disease. HDL cholesterol levels tend to be lower in postmenopausal women with PCOS. The standard calculators to help a clinician decide when to start medication (such as a statin) to reduce the risk of heart disease are likely to underestimate the risk. Thus, diet and exercise are very important for women with PCOS. Hot flashes do not seem to be worsened by PCOS. Although hormone replacement can be used in women with hot flashes and PCOS, it is especially risky in a woman of 66 due to the increased risk of heart disease. Nonhormonal treatment, such as venlafaxine or fezolinetant, is my recommendation.

UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA
Dementia presents itself through various symptoms, and memory loss alone is not enough to lead to a dementia diagnosis. Dementia can affect thinking and social abilities, but the Mayo Clinic notes that some dementias may be reversible. The following are some common symptoms of dementia:
• Trouble communicating or finding words.
• Difficulty completing complex tasks.
• Challenges with planning and organization.
• Episodes of confusion and disorientation.
• Memory loss, which is often noticed by a third party.
• Personality changes that can include agitation, anxiety, inappropriate behavior and even hallucinations.
Apart from Alzheimer’s disease, which is a progressive disorder most common in people age 65 and older, there are other types of dementia. The second most common is called “vascular dementia.” This results from damage to vessels that supply blood to the brain. This damage can be the result of stroke, smoking and other blood vessel conditions. Brain imaging can often detect blood vessel problems implicated in vascular dementia. Dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB, is another dementia that laymen may mistakeforAlzheimer’sdisease.TheAlzheimer’sAssociationnotesthatpeople with DLB often have not only memory loss and cognitive problems common in Alzheimer’s, but they also display initial or early symptoms such as sleep disturbances, well-formed visual hallucinations, slowness, gait imbalance or other Parkinsonian movement features, which can lead to misdiagnosis.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
By Lucie Winborne
* In the early 1800s, a railroad marketer set up a head-on collision between two trains as a publicity stunt. Some 40,000 people came to watch, and the resulting boiler explosion killed three spectators. But ticket sales soared, and railways everywhere staged train crashes right up until the Great Depression.
* One of the weirdest scandals in sports history occurred in 1973 when New York Yankees players Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich decided to trade families -- wives, children, even dogs! After the couples became close friends, Peterson fell in love with Kekich’s wife and vice versa. “It’s a love story. It wasn’t anything dirty,” Peterson told a reporter in 2013. Peterson is still married to the former Mrs. Kekich, but Kekich and the former Mrs. Peterson later split up.

HOW WOMEN CAN KEEP THEIR CAREERS GOING FORWARD
Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.

DID YOU KNOW?
Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.
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.
