Drink more water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that drinking enough water each day provides a host of health beneﬁts, including preventing dehydration. Dehydration can adversely affect mood and lead to confusion. Dehydration also can contribute to the formation of kidney stones, which the National Institutes of Health notes are more likely to affect men than women due to men’s diets and differences in urine chemistries. Symptoms of dehydration also mimic signs of hunger, which means men might overeat under the mistaken impression that they’re hungry when all their body really wants to do is hydrate. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine determined that men should consume about 15.5 cups of water per day.

DID YOU KNOW?

Hair loss can affect quality of life and self-esteem. While it is common to lose some hair each day as part of the natural growing cycle, hair lost during the growth cycle will grow back for most people. But with hormonal conditions, illnesses, aging, and inherited conditions, new strands of hair don’t always grow back. The Cleveland Clinic says that a person cannot prevent all types of hair loss, but there are steps to keep hair healthy and minimize loss. Coping with stress in a healthy way; managing thyroid diseases or other hormonal conditions that could lead to hair loss; eating a diet that includes enough calories,protein and iron; avoiding hairstyles that pull tightly; and trying a cooling cap during chemotherapy treatment are steps one can take to minimize hair loss.

ROBERT “BOB” MCELROY ROBERT

ELMIRA, NY: Robert “Bob” McElroy, age 84, passed away on February 15, 2025, after a brief stay at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania.

Born in Elmira, New York, Bob built a lifelong career as a chef, beginning at the Dixie Barbecue in Elmira. His culinary journey took him to numerous restaurants throughout the region, as well as the Florida Keys and Indiana. Known for his resourcefulness and skill in the kitchen, he found joy in cooking and all aspects of being a chef. His abilities as a plumber, electrician, carpenter and jack-of-all-trades made him well-suited for the job He mentored countless future chefs in his career, including his son and several nephews.

Bob was married to his beloved wife, Nedra Chapin McElroy, for 59 years. Together, they built a life filled with love, family and friendships. He is survived by his son, Sean (Melissa) McElroy; grandchildren, Mitchell (Kaila) McElroy, Samantha, Ava, and Lana McElroy; and great-grandchildren, Savannah and Calvin McElroy. He also leaves behind his sisters, Connie (Tony) Smith and Lynn Smith; brothers, Karl McElroy and Alan (Joyce) McElroy; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Janet Hammond McElroy; brother, William; and sister, Judith.

Beyond his work as a chef, Bob had a passion for hands-on projects. He loved working on MG sports cars, tinkering at the bench in his garage and fixing things at the kitchen table. He enjoyed the outdoors and was a fine fisherman and loved hunting and shooting. Bob also enjoyed many years boating on Keuka Lake on his pontoon boat. His bold personality and sense of humor made him a strong and cherished presence among those who knew him.

Though he faced multiple physical challenges in recent years, his passing brings relief from those struggles. His memory will live on through the love of his family and the many lives he touched throughout his years.

It was Bob’s wish that no ceremonies be held at this time. A memorial event will be held at a later date. Condolences for Bob McElroy may be made at www.fagansfuneralhome.com.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEXT EYE EXAM

Visual acuity: The eye doctor will ask you to read an eye chart while looking through a device called a phoropter.This device has several lenses that can be adjusted to help you see better and ﬁnd the right corrective lens prescription.

The sixth grade seemed to please him from the beginning: he went through a brief Egyptian Period that bafﬂed me — he tried to walk ﬂat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other. He declared Egyptians walked that way; I saidif theydidIdidn’tseehow they got anything done, but Jem said they accomplished more than the Americans ever did, they invented toilet paper and perpetual embalming, and asked where would we be today if they hadn’t?

RISK FACTOR FOR MOLD INFESTATION IN A HOME

Outdoor drainage: Maintaining effective outdoor drainage is another way to prevent mold growth in a home. This typically requires maintaining gutters and drains so they do not become clogged during or after rainstorms. Gutter guards can prevent gutters and drains from clogging. Homeowners also may want to work with a landscaper or landscape architect to ensure soil around the house slopes away from the foundation, which can prevent water from pooling near the walls. When water pools near the walls, this can contribute to foundation problems and make it easier for mold to grow.

PRATTSBURGH WIND, LLC STEUBEN COUNTY, NEW YORK

NOTICE OF SUBMISSION OF WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION REQUEST

This notice announces that Prattsburgh Wind, LLC (“the Applicant”), filed a Joint Application for Wetlands Permit, which included a request for a Water Quality Certification (WQC), with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) (collectively the “Joint Application”). The Joint Application will be filed with the New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Transmission (ORES) on or about February 24, 2025. The Joint Application relates to the construction of the proposed 147-megawatt (MW) wind energy generation facility, to be located in the Towns of Prattsburgh, Wheeler, Avoca, Cohocton, Howard, Steuben County, known as the Prattsburgh Wind Farm (“the Project”).

On September 24, 2024, the Applicant was issued a Siting Permit under Article VIII of the Public Service Law from ORES (Matter No. 21-00749). The Joint Application that is the subject of this notice covers the permits/approvals required to construct and/or operate the Project under the Clean Water Act 404 and for WQC from ORES under Clean Water Act 401 and 6 NYCRR Part 608. No public comment period is required for the Joint Application at this time.

The Joint Application includes, among other things: a description of the Project, including details on Project components, Project design, Project construction, and related information; an analysis of the environmental setting of the Project; results from analyses conducted to assess potential impacts to aquatic resources, streams and jurisdictional waters from construction and operation of the Project; proposed measures to minimize environmental impacts; and reasonable alternatives. The pending USACE application also addresses compliance with the Endangered Species Act and the Historic Preservation Act.

The Project will have the following environmental impacts relevant to the request for Water Quality Certification and USACE Application under review. Construction of the Facility is anticipated to have temporary and permanent impacts on state regulated streams, wetlands, and 100-foot wetland adjacent areas. Impacts to state regulated surface waters are described in the Project’s Article VIII Application filed with ORES. Construction of the Project will result in approximately 3,081 linear feet (0.25 acres) of temporary impacts to federally regulated streams associated with electric collection lines, access roads, and temporary intersection improvements, and approximately 277 linear feet (less than 0.02 acres) of permanent impacts to federally regulated streams associated with access roads. Construction of the Project will result in approximately 0.69 acres of temporary impacts in federally regulated wetlands associated with electric collection lines and access roads, and 0.26 acres of temporary fill to federally regulated wetlands associated with temporary intersection improvements, 0.48 acres of permanent forest conversion impacts to federally regulated wetlands associated with clearing for access roads and collection line, and 0.32 acres of permanent fill in federally regulated wetlands associated with access roads. Any necessary wetland mitigation related to potential Project impacts will be determined by the USACE.

Pursuant to the ORES regulations, this notice is being provided in accordance with 16 NYCRR 11001.4(b)(1) and 1.6(c) and will be published at least three (3) days prior to the filing of the Water Quality Certification request with ORES. A copy of the Water Quality Certification request will be served on the Chief Executive Officer of each municipality in which any portion of the Project is located, as well as those persons and agencies enumerated in 16 NYCRR 1100-1.6(a).

This request, when ﬁled with ORES, will be available on the project’s dedicated website (Prattsburgh Wind Farm | Terra-Gen) or on the ORES website at (https://ores.ny.gov/permit-applications) under

Matter No. 21-00749. Documents may also be viewed at the following public repositories: Prattsburgh Free Library, 26 S. Main Street, Prattsburgh, NY 14873, Avoca Free Library, 18 N. Main Street, Avoca, NY 14809, Cohocton Public Library, 8 Maple Avenue, Cohocton, NY 14826, Howard Public Library, 3607 County Route 70A, Hornell, NY 14843, The Dormann Library, 101 W.

Why all of a sudden are people hoarding eggs? Sure prices have risen due to the bird flu but all of a sudden they need to fill their carts with dozens and dozens of eggs? I go through 1 doz. eggs in 3 to 4 weeks. There are expiration dates. Because there’s a shortage, which is temporary, they need to hoard eggs before anyone else has a chance to buy. Then the store is forced to limit the amounts or just run out. Are you more important and couldn’t care less if you clean the shelf out leaving none for others? Remember the toilet paper hoarding? Remember the fights and screaming shown on TV? That was embarrassing and those who hoarded toilet paper should be embarrassed. Do you really need to hoard eggs?

Mail Ad Applications

People need to put an end to those credit, insurance, vehicle etc. applications we all receive in the mail. They come pre-ﬁlled with too much information which can be stolen and used illegally. Scammers can use these to apply for a credit card just using what’s printed already and fraudulently apply under your name. Or use that information to sell to solicitors.

information can lead to wrong doings.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

DEAR DR. ROACH: Am I a doomed man?

When I was 25, I survived a battle with testicular cancer. The good news is that 45 years later, after two kids and three grandkids, I’m in good health.The only medicine I take is gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy that was caused by the chemotherapy drugs I received during the cancer treatment. One or more of these drugs caused neuropathy in my feet.

A neurologist prescribed 800 mg three times a day, and I took this for about 15 years. As I got older, it became 800 mg four times a day for the past 20 years.As I talk to people, they seem shocked that I’m still alive after taking so much gabapentin. But I’ve never experienced any known side effects from it.

I have read that the long-term use of gabapentin can increase the chances of dementia. Are there speciﬁc things that I should have my regular doctor test me for because of my long-term use of gabapentin? -- C.P.

ANSWER: Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers because it is sensitive to both radiation and chemotherapy. However, both of these modalities can lead to problems years after the treatment was successful.

PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM PERMISSIVE REFERENDUM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Town Board of the Town of Campbell (the “Town”), Steuben County, New York, at a regular meeting thereof, held on February 10, 2025, duly adopted, a resolution, declaring surplus of approximately 15 plus/minus acres of town property located on Route 415 and now that the Town wishes to offer the property for sale.

WHEREAS, the Town is the owner of approximately 15 plus/minus acres located on Route 415 in the Town of Campbell, County of Steuben,(“Property”); and

WHEREAS, said property is a portion of the property with a tax parcel ID number of 243.09-01002.100; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Town Law §64(2) the offering of town property for sale is subject to permissive referendum; and

WHEREAS, the Town Board now wishes to offer the property for sale at auction with a minimum price of $155,000.00; and WHEREAS, the Town and the Purchasers have negotiated and agreed upon the terms of the sale of the property.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Campbell, in regular session duly convened, does hereby authorize and direct the Town Supervisor with the assistance of the Town Attorney, if needed, once the time for permissive referendum has passed, if no qualifying petition is submitted to the Town objecting to the sale of the Property, to execute and deliver to the successful bidder, all such documents necessary to transfer ownership of the Property as set forth in a contract subject to the review and approval of the Town Attorney and Town Supervisor.

For many years, platinum-based chemotherapy has been one of the mainstays for advanced testicular cancer. Painful peripheral neuropathy, especially in the hands and feet, is a common side effect. Gabapentin is a commonly used medication to relieve pain from damage to the peripheral nerves that occurs in diabetes or with chemotherapy. I don’t often see doses as high as you are taking, but they are certainly used. In a seminal trial on pain following a shingles infection (post-herpetic neuralgia),the target dose of gabapentin was 900 mg four times daily. It often takes weeks or months to build up to this dose so that people can tolerate it, but it is very effective. The most common side effect is sedation, but increasing the dose slowly reduces this effect.

The evidence of gabapentin and dementia is mixed, with two studies that looked at hundreds of thousands of people and came to completely different conclusions. In the study suggesting that there was a dementia risk, it was strongest in younger people.

I conclude that you aren’t doomed. While most authorities don’t suggest screening tests for dementia, there are some memory and cognitive tests that are easy to do for people who have concerns about their memory, or those whose doctors are concerned about a possible change in function. If there are abnormalities, a person can then be referred to a memory expert.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you discussed IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome). I have IBS-D and had very serious episodes for several years. The cramping was enough to keep me in bed for two to three days. The episodes started happening more frequently three years ago and occurred every three to four weeks.

I read that yogurt can help, so I began to eat plain yogurt every day (although I added fruit and granola). I haven’t had an episode in two-and-a-half years! Why isn’t this suggested by doctors? The change has been amazing.-- K.V. ANSWER: I am very pleased that you had such great results. Yogurt is often recommended due to the live bacteria in it, which is thought to be beneﬁcial for the gut. Unfortunately, my experience (like most trials) has shown that it doesn’t help the majority of people. The lactose (milk sugar) is problematic for many IBS sufferers as well. Still, it may be worth a try, and I agree with eating plain yogurt.

Five-year survival rates for prostate cancer are notably high. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that approximately 80 to 85 percent of all prostate cancers are detected in the local or regional stages, which plays a significant role in improving survival rates for the disease. Johns Hopkins notes that many men diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated at the local or regional stages are cancer-free after five years. Indeed, the American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rates for localized and regional prostate cancers was greater than 99 percent. Localized indicates there is no evidence that the cancer has spread beyond the prostate, while regional means it has spread to nearby structures or lymph nodes. The high survival rates for local and regional prostate cancers underscore the effectiveness of screening for the disease. The ACS recommends men who are at average risk for prostate cancer discuss screening with their physicians at age 50, while those at high risk should open such a dialogue at age 45. Men at very high risk, which includes individuals with a first-degree relative who had prostate cancer at an early age,should discuss screening upon reaching age 40.When prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body, the five-year survival rate is 34 percent

My neighbor yells at her dog. Is it abuse?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every morning, my next-door neighbor walks her dog past my house. Every morning, she berates her dog, calling him an idiot and a bad dog, especially after picking up his poo. I cannot see the dog doing anything wrong, so I don’t know why she’s constantly yelling at him. I know it’s affecting him, though -- he has his tail between his legs most of the time. Is there anything I can do for that dog? -- Bill in Oshkosh, Wisconsin

DEAR BILL: That’s hard to watch -- emotional abuse can be as damaging to an animal as physical abuse.

Strong verbal correction is OK in obedience training when you need a dog to stop doing something immediately. But it should be limited to a ﬁrm “No!” and a quick tug on the leash if necessary -- followed by proper corrective training. When an owner simply berates the dog and takes out their anger verbally on them, it isn’t training. It doesn’t correct their behavior. Behavioral issues often get worse, not better. And the mixed signals and negative feedback that the dog constantly receives can cause trust issues that never fully go away.

What can you do as an outside observer? Rescues or animal control likely won’t intervene in a simple case of yelling at a dog.

If you feel safe talking to the owner, try starting a conversation with them. You may be able to glean more info about why they are yelling at the dog, and you might be able to give training advice.

However, you should also observe and document the situation. Write down the dog’s physical condition and behavior and note if they deteriorate. If you see physical abuse from the owner, note the date, time and place and, contact animal control.

Everything is hazy, blurry or less colorful. Additional vision changes associated with cataracts include extra light sensitivity; seeing bright colors as faded or yellowed; seeing double or a ghosted image; and difﬁculty seeing at night. Using brighter lights at home or getting a new eyeglasses prescription can help manage cataracts in their early stages. An eye doctor may suggest surgery if cataracts

TIPS TO DINING OUT AS A FAMILY

DID YOU KNOW?

Friday and Saturday night might be the day people most identify as the best night to dine out at a restaurant, but a recent survey found that Sunday reigns supreme among diners. According to a 2022 survey from Real Research, just under 30 percent of diners said they eat out on Sunday, which makes the ﬁrst day of the week more preferable than Friday (18.9 percent) and Saturday (15.4 percent). Perhaps more surprisingly, a greater number of respondents indicated they prefer to dine out on Monday (23 percent) than Friday or Saturday. Despite these preferences, experienced diners know that it’s still wise to book a reservation when dining out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Diners might be more likely to ﬁnd a table without a reservation on Monday.

Congruent pairings, according to Wine Folly, create balance in the mouth by amplifying shared ﬂavor compounds. For example, earth wines paired with earthy mushrooms. Contrasting pairings create balance through contrasting ﬂavors.Therefore, a salad with acidity and bitterness may be complemented with a wine that is sweeter and not so acidic, or so may be the case with a fatty, salty food like foie gras.

As women enter perimenopause and begin the transition that will ultimately lead to menopause, many doctors prescribe hormone pills to help regulate menstruation cycles and ease certain symptoms. Compared to regular birth control pills that contain 30 to 50 micrograms of estrogen,a doctor may suggest a low-dose pill that contains between 10 and 35 micrograms of estrogen. These levels can be increased as needed.WebMD says that,in addition to preventing pregnancy,which can still occur in perimenopause,low dose pills often regulate heavy or irregular menstrual periods and may offer protection from ovarian and uterine cancers.The pills also may prevent bone loss, which leads to osteoporosis. It’s important to note that contraceptives come with an elevated risk for breast cancer and blood clots, particularly for those with a history of heart disease and breast cancer. So doctors should be consulted about the pros and cons and women should initiate an open and honest dialogue with their physicians to avoid any complications.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By

JoAnn Derson

“It’s hard to find a good contractor or company to provide a service sometimes. The best resource I’ve had is friends. Whenever someone I know has work done at their home or purchases an item I might be interested in, I always find out the details of who worked on it or where it was purchased and whether my friends were satisfied with the outcome. Friends and even acquaintances usually are quite amenable to giving details,especially when they are either very pleased or very displeased with a job.” -- R.E. in New York

SIGNS IT’S TIME TO REPLACE YOUR TIRES Bulges, gouges or cracks: Geico® notes that a deﬂated tire bulges at the sides, and that can compromise the safety of everyone in the vehicle. AutoZone® says bulges occur when air gets between the inner liner and outer rubber layers, which can happen after hitting a curb or driving over a sizable pothole. A gouge or cut that is deeper than the outer layer of the tire also necessitates replacement.
