DID YOU KNOW?
Come autumn, many foods seem to take on a unique flavor exclusive to the season. That’s thanks to the ubiquitous “pumpkin spice,” which each fall is a specially featured ingredient in everything from cream cheese to marshmallows. Naturally, pumpkin spiceisalsoakeyingredientwhen preparing pumpkin pie. But just what does pumpkin spice contain? Pumpkin spice is a combination of several different ground spices. It typically includes cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. It also may include allspice. Pumpkin spice is the name given to the blend in the United States. In the United Kingdom, pumpkin spice is known as “mixed spice,” which is a similar but not exact blend as that used to create pumpkin spice. Both feature cinnamon as the dominant flavor.
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.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
WHY IS MY CAT SCRATCHING SO MUCH?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I noticed that my long-haired cat, Charlie, is scratching many times per day. He also is shedding more than usual -- mostly undercoat, rather than hair. What’s going on? I can’t see any evidence of fleas on his coat or skin. -- Dan in Colorado Springs
DEAR DAN: Fleas are o en the first thing we think of when a cat starts scratching incessantly, but other conditions could be causing skin irritation. And it may be hard to see lesions or hot spots, especially in long-haired cats. Charlie’s undercoat is coming out because he’s really scratching those spots.
e best thing to do is take Charlie to the veterinarian. Some itching issues have an external cause and can be eased pretty quickly. But some chronic conditions and diseases have itching as one symptom, and only your vet can diagnose these.
Make sure to tell the veterinarian where exactly Charlie is scratching the most. e vet, with an assistant holding Charlie still, will check these areas more closely for broken skin, lesions, rash and evidence of fleas. ey’ll also take skin scrapings and fur samples to see if mites are to blame or if there’s a bacterial or yeast infection. Blood samples should be taken to test for underlying medical conditions and/or specific allergies. ey may send you home with specimen kits to collect urine and poop and bring them in for analysis, too.
e vet will advise you on whether to use a prescription or over-thecounter medication to ease Charlie’s itching. When the tests come back (some may be same-day, others may need to go to a lab), they’ll know the best treatment path to take.

[Local Road]
We just moved to [local town] and live on [local road]. At one end of the road the speed limit is 45 and at the other end it is 30. No other speed limit is posted. Cars go by our house 55 +++. We have farm tractors/joggers/bikers/horses going by all day. It should be 45 all the way til the village line. I emailed the town highway about speed limits about 3 months ago. Maybe they are way to busy to read it. Also there are many deer in the area
There is nothing quite like fall in upstate New York. We recently had visitors from out of state and they could not get over the beautiful foliage all around the area. Whether it’s the Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park or just 75 degree sunny days in mid October, sometimes we take our surroundings for granted and it takes visitors to remind us just how lucky we are.
Freedom on display
Driving down local streets and seeing neighbors displaying their choice of political sign demonstrates what a great country we live in. We can voice our opinions and coexist with a neighbor who may have differing views. I’m thankful for a democracy that encourages open dialogue, mutual respect, and allows diversity of opinions.
machines
I recently spent a couple of days at [local casino] and was shocked and appalled that almost all the slot machines had racist imagery, specifically seeming to be aimed at Asian cultures. They feature caricatures of Japanese women and other offensive stereotypes like dragons. I was wondering if there would be interest locally in helping eradicate these awful slot machines. I love to gamble and this just puts a damper on the whole thing.

REFRESH YOUR SMILE!
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D. Two-Year-Old Incision
Occasionally Secretes Fluid
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old, very active male. My left Achilles tendon severed two years ago, but it was surgically repaired. I had an 8-inch incision that has totally healed, with the exception of one small area about the size of the lead of a pencil. It’s 3 inches above my heel. This small area would close up for a few days, then reopen with small amounts of off-white fluid oozing from the little hole.
Sometimes I apply Iodosorb, which keeps the area dry for a while. But, for whatever reason, showers seem to make the incision release fluid. I apply a bandage over the wound for most sporting or exercise events, just so that it doesn’t get rubbed by the top of my shoe. Is there any solution to this, or do I just have to live with it?
-- R.M.
ANSWER: The Achilles tendon is a thick, tough piece of connective tissue between the calf muscles and the heel bone. It can rupture under extreme trauma (often sports injuries), in people who have weakness of the tendon, or due to treatment with antibiotics that are in the quinolone class, such as ciprofloxacin. When repairing the tendon, the surgeon uses sutures or wires to put it back together.
A residual wound defect is quite concerning to me. The foreign material in the tendon is at a high risk for infection. It’s possible that there is an infection, which led to a fistula (an abnormal connection) between the tendon.
I definitely recommend going back to see the surgeon. They may want to do further testing (possibly imaging) to see if there is any evidence of an infection in the repaired tendon.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu.

HOW TO KEEP KIDS SAFE ON HALLOWEEN
Traverse familiar areas: Children trick-or-treating with adults may be able to venture a bit further in pursuit of treats, but it is generally safer to stay close to home where surroundings are familiar. This reduces the propensity for getting lost or wandering into sketchy situations. Older kids allowed to venture out on their own would be wise to stay close to home as well. Neighbors can assist if something goes awry and there’s less chance of getting turned around.

Step Back in Time with the Friendly Allegiance Spirits
BY SUZIE WELLS
Near the Mt Morris entrance to Letchworth State Park sits Allegiance Bed & Breakfast, which looks at first like any beautiful B&B in the area, offering peaceful, comfortable accommodations and delicious breakfast within the stunning Greek-revival-style mansion. However, this historic inn also has a paranormal side, offering visitors the chance to encounter a cast of “friendly ghosts” who seem just as comfortable as any mortal guest.
Allegiance Bed & Breakfast was built on Main Street in 1838 by the Wisner family (who some say still reside there), and its history is steeped in happiness and hospitality. e home served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, adding a layer of history that resonates within its walls today. e property is named a er Francis Bellamy, the author of our nation’s Pledge of Allegiance, who hailed from Mt. Morris. ough the house has seen many occupants, it’s the spirits of past residents who’ve become its most famous.
on the front lawn. According to one report, Reuben shared that the statue reminded him of a horse from his living years.
Guests of the Allegiance Bed & Breakfast o en come for the history and stay for the paranormal. As noted by ExploreGeneseeValley. com, hauntings are “marked by happiness, fortune, and family life,” a sentiment reflected by the positive energy felt by many visitors. Some of the most adorable hauntings involve animals. Several guests have felt the sensation of a cat curled up at the foot of their beds, a friendly phantom believed to be Sammy, a beloved house cat buried on the property. Others have reported hearing dogs bark and spotting an orange cat roaming the grounds, even though no living pets currently reside at the inn.
Sightings of an unidentified teenage girl dressed in servants’ clothing have been reported, sometimes accompanied by a playful child spirit who enjoys running through the halls. ough their identities remain a mystery, they add to the whimsical charm of the inn’s spectral cast. Visitors may also encounter Alice Montclair, a ghost known for eagerly introducing herself to anyone who spots her.
Allegiance B&B at Night - Credit Allegiance FB
e ghosts at Allegiance are not just lingering apparitions but are known by name. Karen, said to be the granddaughter of the original owner, Reuben Wisner, is a frequent presence. As one source describes, she is “a gray-haired, solid apparition that likes to sit on the stairs or watch guests from the corners of their rooms.” She is o en spotted in quiet moments, observing from afar with a calm, watchful demeanor. Visitors have claimed that Karen and her good friend, Raymond, an elderly man, like to play catch with the hotel’s decor.” Raymond has been seen in the library, reading and chatting with guests. ese two spirits are so well-known that their voices were allegedly captured on tape during an investigation by Paranormal State
But Karen and Raymond aren’t the only ethereal residents. e mansion also harbors the spirits of Reuben Wisner and his two wives, Sarah and Ellen. A medium once claimed that Sarah, Reuben’s first wife, has not forgiven him for remarrying only a year a er her death. While Sarah’s jealousy occasionally flares up, Reuben seems to enjoy the modern touches in the home, particularly the white horse statue
Allegiance Bed & Breakfast also offers something special for paranormal enthusiasts – current owners, Steve and Glenda, are always willing to share their own ghostly encounters. ey regularly give tours and share stories about their experiences with the spirits that call their home... home. Steve and Glenda have heard footsteps when no one is around and music that seems to come from an untraceable source, making the inn a haven for those seeking both history and hauntings.
Visitors suggest the second floor of Allegiance as the most likely to see or hear the unexplained. e Wadsworth room, where the teenage girl seems most active, and the Dansville room, another ghostly hotspot, are among the best spots for paranormal encounters, but according to HauntedRooms, “no rooms are off-limits for these paranormal beings.”
For those interested in exploring the history and hauntings of Allegiance Bed & Breakfast more deeply, check out New York’s Haunted History Tours.
In the end, Allegiance Bed & Breakfast is a delightful gateway to the past, filled with friendly spirits who make sure guests always feel welcome. Whether it’s Karen watching from the stairs, Raymond chatting with visitors in the library, or Sammy the cat curling up at your feet, you’re never truly alone at Allegiance.

HOW TO FIX THAT STICKING DOOR
Nearly everyone has experienced a sticking door that just will not close properly. This problem may become more noticeable when temperatures rise and humidity contributes to the swelling of wood doors and frames.
According to The Family Handyman, a home improvement resource, the standard remedy for alleviating a sticking door is to remove the door and pare down the edges that are rubbing so that the door will once again swing freely. While this can solve the problem, it can be a hassle, as it requires refinishing the pareddown edge and rehanging the door. Try these shortcuts first before creating more work than might be necessary.
• Identify the problem area and rub it with a dry bar of soap. This should reduce friction and allow the door to close more easily.

Fence Etiquette Prevents Disputes:
There are certain things you must do and should do if you plan to erect a fence. Most people find neighbors appreciate being informed of any decisions you are thinking of making to the property that can affect their views or their adjoining property. Before drawing up fence plans with a contractor, talk to the neighbors on either side of your home and gauge their receptiveness to a fence. At this point, you may want to consider offering to make the fencing project a joint deal to save money should the neighbors decide to install a fence as well. Contractors will often discount if they have several customers doing an installation at the same time. Property owners can save by splitting the costs of the shared walls of the fence where their property lines meet.
• Remove humidity with a dehumidifier or by running an air conditioning unit.
• Check for loose hinges or sagging around the hinge. Tighten the fasteners to sure up the door and create better alignment.
• Spray the hinges with lubricant if you suspect sticking is originating because of squeaky hinges.
• Look for obstructions at the bottom of the door. Is the door dragging on carpeting or being caught on something on the floor? It may be a matter of simply clearing away the obstruction.
The Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment at the University of MassachusettsAmherstnotesthatleafspotdiseasesaffectbothcool-and warm-season turfgrasses. Various fungi can cause leaf spot. Symptoms and the timing of the appearance of leaf spot will vary depending on which fungi is causing the problem. For example, bipolaris sorokiniana, which affects grasses in warm, wet summer months, produces small spots that are dark purple to black. Dreschslera poae is another fungi that causes leafspot,anditalsoproducesdarkpurpletoblackspots.However,ittends toappearinthespringwhentheweatheriscoolandmoist.Understanding the different fungi and when they typically strike can help homeowners identify what is causing their grass to thin. In such situations, professional landscapers can be invaluable resources as well.
Cutworms: The lawn care experts at Scotts® note that cutworms are moth larvae that hide in the thatch layer of a lawn during the day before emerging at night to feed on grass blades. Patches of brown grass between one and two inches in width is a sign of cutworm infestation. Homeowners who notice a growing number of birds pecking away in their lawns may have a cutworm infestation, which can be confirmed by peeling up a section of damaged grass and looking for cutworms, which are brown,
WAYS TO REPURPOSE DRESSERS
One of the benefits to becoming a skilled do-it-yourselfer is the chance to embrace projects that can breathe new life into objects that others might designate for the trash or donation pile. Renovating such items can save money and provide an entirely different purpose for the object. After upgrading design styles or moving, there’s a good chance the average homeowner has a spare dresser or chest of drawers he or she may no longer use. Repurposing such furniture can make for an enjoyable weekend DIY project.

KITCHEN DESIGN WITH HEALTH AND ERGONOMICS IN MIND
(NAPSI)—Whether you’re among the 50 million Americans over 65 (90 percent of whom hope to continue to age at home), the 60 percent of families with children at home, have other ability issues or safety concerns or think you could someday, incorporating ergonomic elements that promote a seamless experience in the kitchen can make it a more comfortable place for everyone for many years to come.
Smart Sinks Given the amount of time spent in front of the sink, selecting one that considers your lifestyle and how you cook should be a priority. Details such as the durability and hygienic qualities of a sink’s material along with its style and size can impact efficiency and comfort.
For example, the latest sink from BLANCO, a manufacturer of finely crafted sinks, is designed to enhance workflow and accommodate all users. A first of its kind, the IKON® 33” Apron 1 3/4 Bowl with Low Divide sink is made with the brand’s exclusive SILGRANIT granite composite material. Easy to clean and scratch resistant, patented SILGRANIT material is a repellent, nonporous surface that eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals when cleaning.
The IKON sink also has a convenient low divide that sits just 5 1/2” from the sink bottom, making it easier to handle large pots and baking sheets while still dividing the sink into cleaning and prepping bowls. The apron front or farmhouse design, minimizes the need to lean over as much and so helps reduce strain.
Optional accessories further enhance comfort and workflow. A floating grid provides an extra level within the sink so handling hot and heavy pots can be safer and easier. A Floating Cutting Board that fits right on top of the sink instantly creates another workspace beyond the countertop.
Faucets Semi-professional and pull-down faucet models help make clean-up more efficient with their easy-to-maneuver design and powerful dual spray features. To make washing hands, food and dishes easier, consider a faucet with sensor technology such as the BLANCO SOLENTA™ Senso Semi-Professional Kitchen Faucet that lets you turn on the water with a wave of your hand. You don’t have to touch the faucet with your hands to get them clean—or if they’re full.
Other ways to enhance the ergonomics in your kitchen include:
• Use drawers instead of cabinets for storage so there’s less reaching
• Install different countertop heights to accommodate various users
• Raise the height of the dishwasher and oven if you can
• Select nonporous counter materials like quartz that are easy to keep clean
• Use LED lights for more brightness from less energy and that are cool to the touch
• Consider an easy-to-clean induction cooking surface—it can reduce energy costs, too Learn More: For further facts about sinks and faucets that can make your kitchen safer, more

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW
Be brief yet effective
A concise design is key. Many recruiters spend little to no time reviewing the hordes of résumés they receive. In fact, automated résumé bots may initially screen the documents to thin the crowd. According to data from the 12th annual Mystery Job Candidate survey by CareerXRoads, the average recruiter spends six seconds looking at a résumé. If a résumé is lengthy or doesn’t attract attention, it will likely be ignored. Stick to a single-page and make sure wording is brief but meaty.
