DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
* On Nov. 12, 1864, Union Gen. William T. Sherman orders the business district of Atlanta destroyed before he embarks on his famous March to the Sea. Nearly 40% of the city was left in ruin.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT FALL
Babies born in fall are more likely to see the century mark. Researchers at the University of Chicago studied more than 1,500 centenarians born in the United States between 1880 and 1895. They then compared birth and death information with those centenarians’ siblings and spouses so they could compare their early environment and genetic background and their adult environment. Their research found that most centenarians were born between September and November.

to any part of a poinsettia plant in children or pets has little, if any, effect. However, if the plant is swallowed, some people and pets may experience symptoms including nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Some who touch the plant may develop a rash after contact.
While poinsettias are not deadly, the NCPC still advises those who plant to include the plant in their holiday decor to take every measure necessary to prevent children and pets from swallowing it. Placing poinsettias beyond the reach of kids and pets is one simple way to accomplish just that.
SIMPLIFY COOKING FOR A CROWD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Share some cooking duties.
Another way to simplify cooking for a crowd is to invite guests to bring along a side dish or dessert. Guests who live nearby can make something in advance of the big meal, while hosts can hand over their kitchens to overnight guests who express a willingness to contribute their own homecooked dish to the party. Sharing the cooking duties gives hosts more time to connect with friends and family and serves as a great way to plan the menu in advance.
SHOPPING LOCALLY
earned money. Your local merchant is working just as hard to earn your money. And when you choose to not support your local merchant and shop outside your community or county, you’ve robbed yourself of the benefits of your money staying where you live.
THINK LOCAL, especially at this gi ing time of year. Make it a Merry Christmas for all of us because, ‘it matters!’
businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a fellow neighbor.
Create job opportunities
Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, along with their employees. Small businesses are the largest employers in the United States. That’s also true in Canada, where 68.8 percent of the total labor force works for a small business. A person may never know when he or she - or a relative - will need a job. Keeping small businesses viable provides a strong job market for locals.
Keep more money in the community
The Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays.
Enjoy a more local flavor
National retailers and other businesses follow a global business model that may not allow for much customization, but small businesses can provide products or services that relate directly to the needs of the communities they serve. These same small businesses may also be more inclined to work with local vendors and start-ups than national companies that have global supply chains.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
MY NEIGHBOR WON’T STOP FEEDING STRAY CATS
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.

DID YOU KNOW?
The first International Special Olympics Summer Games were held at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 20, 1968. The games were the brainchild of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who first proposed the idea of nationwide sports contests for young people with intellectual disabilities in November of 1966. Kennedy Shriver had spent years advocating for young people with intellectual disabilities, even opening a summer camp for such youngsters at her home in suburban Washington, D.C. in June of 1962. More than 200 events were offered at the first Special Olympics, including water polo, the 100-yard swim, the 50-yard dash, the broad jump, and the high jump.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING FOR THOSE WHO SEEMINGLY HAVE IT ALL
Consolidate memories. Technology continues to evolve, which means that the way music, videos and photos are captured and stored is always changing. Unless a person has older gear, it’s no longer possible to watch a VHS tape featuring a family member’s graduation ceremony or reprint photographs that are on film negatives. However, shoppers can work with a company that will transfer media onto a new format, such as a thumb drive or in a cloud-based account. This can be a heartfelt gift for someone who wants to reminisce.

Dining out is a great way to celebrate life’s milestones or simply reconnect with friends and loved ones. Research firm NPD Group found that, by the end of 2015, restaurant visits by consumers increased by 700 million compared to just five years prior.
While chain restaurants invest heavily in advertising, independently owned restaurants do not have those same resources. Multi-unit chains also have more pull with suppliers and might be able to negotiate better deals, or can spread operational costs across various locations. Too often diners are not aware of the vast array of tasty, well-priced and artisanal foods awaiting them just down the street. Much can be said about the advantages of patronizing local eateries. Men and women who want unique dining experiences can give local, independently owned establishments a try.

Filling the Gap
WNY Heroes
Provides
Lifesaving Support for Veterans and Their Families
BY SUZIE WELLS
Chris Kreiger served in the US Army for ten years, deployed to Bosnia and Iraq and serving at NYC’s Ground Zero. When he returned home in April 2004, he had so many medical and trauma setbacks. He spent time in the hospital dealing with epilepsy from his traumatic brain injury as well as surgery on his right foot that was crushed in a Humvee accident. He also required spinal cord surgery and weeks of treatment at the polyoma brain center in Richmond, Virginia.
When he finally returned to New York and filed for the VA benefits he was promised until he recovered and got back on his feet, Chris was disappointed to learn the benefits were dreadfully insufficient and unsatisfactory. His family lost everything they worked so hard for as Chris recovered. ey lost their home, they drained checking and savings accounts, and borrowed from friends and family until no one could help any more. He turned to the VFW and American Legion, with no luck. Other resources refused to help him because his was a military issue, so he was stuck.
Believing no veteran should struggle financially when they return from serving their country, especially when expensive medical issues are caused by said service, Kreiger determined to form WNY Heroes in 2007, a crucial lifeline to veterans’ financial security. No one, not even the VA, offered the services and programs WNY Heroes did, beginning with financial support but also Peer-toPeer support programs including monthly dinners, breakfast, and outings to socialize with other veterans and their families. rough all their programs, WNY Heroes aims to help veterans and their families financially and emotionally when the heroes return home. As Kreiger says, “We want that Veteran to
concentrate on his/her mental health and reunite with their family. Allow us to handle the rest for you.” Each year, WNY Heroes provides hundreds of thousands of dollars toward veterans’ rent/ mortgage, utilities, food, and the peer-to-peer support programs, as well as the Pawsitive for Heroes service dog training and support program.
WNY Heroes launched Pawsitive for Heroes in 2013, providing service dogs to Veterans in medical need and those medicallyreferred through VA hospitals. Kreiger says the program has drawn so much attention it went national last year. To date, WNY Heroes has paired 200 service dogs with Veterans. Kreiger says, “We name our dogs a er those who served and passed away, a small way for us to keep remembering those who served.”
WNY Heroes partners with county and NYS correctional facilities to train dogs. Service dogs spend ten months in the facilities training with inmates and Kreiger and other trainers. en, dogs are paired with veterans, and those pairs train for another 6-8 months in WNY Heroes’ facility so the handlers can learn voice commands, hand signals, public access training, restaurant etiquette, laws, etc. A er that, the dog can go anywhere the handler, the Veteran, goes.
Kreiger says, “A service dog is meant for a single individual’s need or purpose. e dog can’t be touched by everybody and anybody. e dog must listen directly to the handler. It can only be touched by the handler. ere’s a huge difference between Companion, Emotional Support, erapy, and Service Dogs. When they put on their vests, a service dog is working. It’s all business. When the vest comes off, they go right back to being normal house dogs.”
WNY Heroes and its Pawsitive for Heroes program make a marked difference in Veterans’ lives. Kreiger says they are thankful for their amazing donors and volunteers, but the need is always greater, so they’re always in need of donations and volunteers.
e 3rd Wednesday of the month, veterans are invited to breakfast at varied locations in Batavia – fun, laughter, and camaraderie. For more information on this and other WNY Heroes events, visit www.facebook.com/WNYHeroes.

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.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME WHEN YOU’RE AWAY
Switch from a traditional lock and key to a lockbox. frequently can take a page from the realtor notebook and switch from a traditional lock and key lock system to a lockbox. Lockboxes require that a code is entered before a box containing a key can be unlocked. Homeowners who want this added measure of protection don’t even need to put a key inside the lockbox, which typically covers a lock, making it extremely difficult for potential thieves to pick the lock.

- Indifferent – I don’t mind them, but I don’t seek them out
- Dislike them – I avoid pumpkin spice

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them.

Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms.

ROOFING & SIDING
Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary.

Offer your thanks. Serving in the military can feel like a thankless job, as those who have not served might not be aware of the risks men and women in the military take and the sacrifices they must make to protect our country and help the less fortunate across the globe. As a result, something as simple as saying “Thank you” to a current service member or military veteran can go a long way. Veterans know they don’t serve in vain,but it’s still a great idea to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts and sacrifices.

Money spent on political campaigns
It is unbelievable the amount of money spent in and on political campaigns. Millions are spent with the conventions and all the campaign mailings, along with the traveling and campaigning. All of that money could be spent in so many needed areas.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
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.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEPRESSION
There are different types of depression. A person may have a single bout of major depression or recurring episodes. Depression that lasts two or more years is called persistent depressive disorder. A less common type of depression is called manic-depressive illness. This involves cycles of depression that alternate with extreme highs, or manias.
POST-EXTRACTION DRY SOCKET
Dry socket is a painful condition that can occur after a dental extraction. It is more common with wisdom tooth extractions, which tend to leave larger sockets. Dry socket happens when a blood clot fails to form over the extraction site or the clot becomes dislodged. Without a clot, the nerves and bone are exposed, potentially leading to severe pain and infection. Food can also become lodged in the socket, and a clot may form over trapped food debris. Although the body often absorbs the debris, it delays healing and can cause an infection. A diet of soft foods for 10 to 14 days and diligent oral hygiene are the best ways to avoid dry socket and other complications.
needs sufficient time to heal.

P.S. If you drink shakes and smoothies as part of your soft foods diet after an extraction, don’t use a straw. The sucking action can dislodge the clot over the extraction site and cause dry socket.

DID YOU KNOW?
Despitetheongoingeffortstostudy cancer and cancer treatments, in many ways the disease remains a mystery to researchers and medical professionals alike. According to data published by the research-based healthcare company Roche, for reasons that are not entirely understood, breast cancer is more common in the left breast than the right. The left breast is 5 to10 percent more likely to develop cancer than the right breast. The left side of the body is also 10 percent more vulnerable to the skin cancer melanoma than the right side of the body.

Barbara E. Mancuso
November 3, 2024
Caledonia – Barbara E. Mancuso, age 78, of Cider Street, passed away at home Sunday morning (November 3, 2024) in the loving presence of her family.
She was born May 3, 1946, in Rochester, NY, daughter of the late Sylvester and Ella Kingsbury McGinnis.
Barb will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife,mother,grandmother, great-grandmother,sister,aunt and dear friend to many. Barb loved her family and cherished being a homemaker. She was the backbone of every holiday, especially Christmas, and she created many traditions that everyone loved to be a part of.
Barb had many hobbies and was a collector of many treasures. She’s known best for her collection of crackle glass and her large displays of each colorful piece. She was also fond of wolves and all things leopard print. She was an avid puzzler.She put together countless puzzles with many themes.When she would finish one, she would glue it and put it up for display around her home.
Barb had many pastimes; playing euchre, board games with the grandkids, hanging out with the club girls, decorating for Christmas with her beautiful holiday village displays and other decorations. But most of all she LOVED SHOPPING! She could outshop all of her daughters or anyone who had the pleasure of being with her.
Barb loved to travel. From road trips to cruises she was always up for an adventure. She especially looked forward to visiting any and all casinos on the way. She loved to play the slot machines and would walk around until they “talked to her” to stop and play. If her travels landed her by the ocean, you
could find her walking the beach looking for seashells to collect and enjoying the ocean breeze.
Music was also a very big part of Barb’s life. ere have been countless concerts that she has attended with her husband, family and friends. It was pretty typical to pull into the driveway and hear Elvis playing throughout the house. She would switch things up during the holidays and crank her Christmas CDs.
Barb was a staple of the community. She was a member of the Caledonia Fire Department Auxiliary for many years of service.
Barb will be sadly missed by her loving and devoted husband of 58 years, Richard “Dick” Mancuso; her daughters, Lorie (Robert) Browne, Lynette (Jorge) Duckworth, Lisa (David) Waver and Leslie (Jim) Bassano; grandchildren, Amanda (Adam), Anson, Hailey (Dutch), Brandon (Lacey), Ethan, Jack, Emily, Joey, Faith, Anthony, David, Caden, Zoey and Leana; great-grandchildren, Liam, Axel, Raya and Layla; brothers, Robert McGinnis and William (Maryann) McGinnis, along with many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and dear friends.
Family and friends may call on Monday, Nov. 11 from 4-7 PM at the Falcone Family Funeral & Cremation Service Inc.,8700 Lake St.Rd.,LeRoy. Her Rite of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 11:00 AM at St. Martin De Porres Parish – St. Columba Church, 198 North St., Caledonia.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Barb may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis,TN 38105

DID YOU KNOW?
Numerous studies have found that vacationing produces a host of health benefits. The ongoing Framingham Heart Study, which began in 1948 and is currently studying its third generation of participants, found that men who did not take a vacation for several years were 30 percent more likely to have heart attacks than men who took time off. In addition, the FHS found women who take a vacation only once every six years or less were nearly eight times as likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack as women who vacation at least twice per year. Vacations also have been linked to lower stress levels, as a study from the American Psychological Association concluded that vacations reduce stress by removing people from activities and environments that are the sources of their stress. Vacations can even benefit employers, as an internal study from the professional services firm Ernst & Young found that employees’ year-end performance ratings improved by 8 percent for each additional 10 hours of vacation time they took.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB
Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.
