Leaves cascading dow n from trees indicate the arrival of autumn.

How ever, colorful and aw e-inspiring autumn leaves can be a hazard if left to lie on the ground too long.

BDS Trucking & Snowplowing

Fallen leaves form a dense insulator to protect trees’ roots and prevent competing plants from grow ing. Decomposing leaves also provide nutrients for the tree. But w et leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the law n through the w inter can pose a threat to the grass. These are just a couple of reasons w hy so much effort is placed on leaf clean-up in the fall.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne * A study revealed that people scored higher in a mental agility test while wearing a lab coat they believed was a doctor’s coat. The effect was not there when they believed the same white coat was a painter’s coat.

“Wearing hearing aids has given me confidence, has put me back into the world, and has given me a sense of being part of my family and friends.”

Humbled with Gratitude I was humbled today with gratitude. Shopping is complex with nerve pain and numbness, limiting me to one to two items I can carry close enough to my chest to see the floor below. Surprisingly, a “Katrina” added my chocolates to her bill, and the check-out clerk helped me express this thanks!

Thank you for voting Thank you to everyone who gets out and votes on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7, 2023. By voting you get to make sure your vote is counted, and also helps stop voting fraud. This prevents others from using your Absentee Ballot. And, the more bonafide votes cast, the less effect ballot harvesting has on our elections.

Generous Donation To Livingston County residents ... Thank you for your very generous donations in gathering warm clothes for migrant children. Your overwhelming response to this need shows your love of the strangers among us. May God bless all who give and those who receive.

Go to WWW.GVPENNYSAVER.COM and submit your own Rants and Raves under the tab -

SHARE WITH US Drivers If you want to drive 10 mph under the speed limit that’s fine. If you look in your mirror and see multiple vehicles lined up behind you why can’t you at least move a bit to let some by? You may have all the time in the world but others don’t!

Headlights From the Other Side New cars have LED headlights. I didn’t choose LEDs; the car came this way. A recent rant complained about being blinded by bright headlights. I am constantly flashed by other cars as though I have my brights on. I have two options to this flashing. One: do nothing and look like a jerk. Two: flash my brights and let them face a much brighter light, thereby demonstrating that what the other driver thought was bright wasn’t even close. The solution for drivers bothered by lights hasn’t changed. If a car is approaching, fix your gaze on the painted line along the shoulder on the right side of your car until the bright lights pass. Staring directly at any headlights and getting angry is a silly move.

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Paget’s Disease Causes Arthritis, Pain, Deformities and More ---

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband has been diagnosed with Paget’s disease. I would like to know more about it; this is the first time I have ever heard of it. I would like to know the treatments and how much damage affects the bones. He is 76, had prostate cancer and underwent radiation treatment. -- C.W. ANSWER: Paget’s disease of the bone is a common disease in people of European ancestry, with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 3%, although it remains undiagnosed in many. The cause of the disease appears to be a defect in bone reabsorption by the osteoclast, a specialized cell that normally helps maintain bone health.

Paget’s disease is not a cancer. It is normally diagnosed over the age of 55.

Most cases of Paget’s disease are asymptomatic; however, without treatment, some people will develop arthritis, pain, deformities and fractures.

The bone deformities may lead to nerve compression and, in the case of the tiny bones in the ear, hearing loss. X-rays and a high alkaline phosphatase (ALP) blood test are suggestive of the diagnosis. A bone scan is recommended to see the extent of damage from the disease.

Fortunately, highly effective treatments are available. Bisphosphonate drugs, the same drugs that are used to treat many people with osteoporosis, are very effective. A single treatment with zoledronic acid is effective at stopping (not reversing) the progression of the disease, and fewer than 20% of people will need a second dose. Diagnosing and treating early are ideal.

I don’t think his prostate cancer or radiation treatment has anything to do with his diagnosis of Paget’s. ***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Here’s a Tip

* Mail service is a wonderful thing. Order what you wanand it’s in your mailbox or on your doorstep tomorrow.

From efficiency to penny pinching, you can use the mail order to help out in numerous ways. Or, use it to bring a smile to someone’s face: Keep a stack of stamped postcards with you. Jot a note and mail one off whenever the mood strikes. I almost guarantee a great response from the recipient! Who doesn’t love real snail mail? -- JoAnn * To save on prescription costs, ask if your health insurance participates in a mail order service where you can get three months of a drug for a discounted cost. Mine costs less for three months than it does for one month in my local drugstore, and I don’t even have to go pick it up.

-- B.W. in Virginia * One of the greatest assets in our communities is the public library, and mine has just added a new service that I’m over the moon about: delivery! I can search the card catalog from home and have the books I want delivered right to my house. It’s so convenient. -- J.H. in Florida

Banana Trees Growing in Brockport? You Bet! Former Television Executive Goes Bananas in Brockport!

BY R AY T R I M , A K A T I K I R AY

A

Rochester native, I embarked on a fascinating 30 year adventure when I left home and moved to Los Angeles, CA where I worked my way up from casting associate on TV shows like Charles In Charge and Quantum Leap to negotiating contracts at NBC Universal for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and on hit shows, such as Will & Grace and The Office.

After three decades working in the entertainment industry, I moved from LA farther east to Palm Springs, CA where I began restoration of my new home, a mid-century marvel in an iconic, architecturally significant neighborhood. Always a supporter of the arts, I also lent my talents to numerous cultural interests in the Palm Springs area, including Modernism Week, as well as the Palm Springs Art Museum. These civic efforts did not go unnoticed, and soon I accepted the mayor’s appointment to serve as City Commissioner, administrating, among other things, Village Fest, one of the area’s most popular and highly attended weekly arts & cultural events.

During my time on the west coast, I was fortunate to travel to the Hawaiian Islands on several occasions, training and participating in the Honolulu Marathon. While in Hawaii, I developed a deep appreciation for the splendor of the lush and tropical island landscape. This inspiration, along with the climate in Palm Springs, presented a variety of options for another of my passions: gardening and landscaping, and soon my desert retreat bloomed with an assortment of palm trees, yucca, plumeria, and other desert-scape plants and trees.

However, fate brought change once again, this time prompting a return to New York. About a decade ago, Rochester beckoned me home when a routine medical procedure left my elderly mother with ongoing health Ray Trim challenges requiring my attention.

Weighing family obligations, I decided to leave my desert paradise behind and move back to take care of my mother. I said goodbye to three decades of sunshine and palm trees and said hello again to the changing seasons and winter snow.

Missing the tropical/desert landscape and gardens, I stumbled upon a store in Rochester selling a “hardy banana tree (perennial),” a Musa Basjoo. I purchased two plants and set out on a mission to successfully grow them and see them through the severe Upstate New York winters and return in the next growing season.

Of course, the growing season in this region is too short to produce fruit on these plants, but the tropical effect on their enormous leaf-span is spectacular. Once established, Musa Basjoo can grow an amazing two feet per week, typically growing to 6-9 feet tall when potted indoors or 15 feet when planted outside.

A local garden center purchased some of my pups last year.

Various entrepreneurs have expressed interest in buying banana leaves, which are used in cooking, religious ceremonies, and Latin and Asian recipes, as well as for table liners and decorations for special catered events.

I recently hosted a free public event for local residents who took a mini tour of my banana garden, grown in my postage-stamp yard in the Village of Brockport. Although unusual recent weather patterns delayed the growing season this year, my crop still managed to soar to a height of 8-10 feet, prompting some to comment that my small garden paradise looks like a scene from Jurassic Park, making me, with my miniplantation, Brockport’s “top banana!”

Fun fact: The banana is not a true tree; it is a giant herbaceous plant. Botanically, this means that none of its parts ever become woody like true trees. The main stem of the banana plant is a large rhizome that grows horizontally underground. The shoots that we think of as “trees” grow upward from this underground stem.

Four years later, with a lot of care and a few mishaps, my two banana trees multiplied to twenty, as the original plants produced “pups” (new growth shoots) I carefully separated from the main plant and transplanted to other garden locations! Over time, I have gifted many pups to friends and family locally and across the country.

Is not this a true autumn day?

Just the still melancholy that I love — that makes life and nature harmonize. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a pefect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot, letter to Miss Lewis, 1st October 1841

Place the bananas on a small rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

ENGLISH –

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then add the roasted bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.

With the mixer running on low speed, spoon in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the pecan topping. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Basic Training DEAR PAW’S CORNER: You often mention that owners should spend time with their dogs in basic obedience training. What are “the basics” exactly? -- Ferris T., Huntington, N.Y. A: While the specifics of basic obedience training for dogs are better detailed through books or by professional trainers, I can list these training requirements here.

• Housetraining: The most basic and most important to you and your dog’s peace of mind. Teaching a new dog where and when to eliminate, and training yourself to keep a proper schedule, is a crucial initial step.

• Heel: Your dog should walk calmly alongside you, and not struggle against the leash, pull you down the street or chase after birds, cars or other dogs.

• Sit: A well-trained dog will sit on command. When training on the leash, have the dog sit on your left side.

• Down: The dog should lie down (on his belly, paws forward) on command.

• Stay: In the “sit” or “down” position, the dog should not move until you release him with a verbal command.

• Come: At your command, the dog should come to you, or respond to further directional commands (such as tugging the leash right or left to signal a turn).

That’s essentially it: five basic commands and housetraining. It doesn’t sound like much, but teaching a dog of any age these skills will take at least several weeks, if not months. And they must be taught correctly: no hitting or yelling, maintaining dominance over the dog. Training books provide many more details on effective ways to do this, while a professional trainer can demonstrate additional effective techniques to ease the basic training process.

5.

Remember that basic obedience training doesn’t stop once these skills have been learned. Dogs need regular reinforcement, even if it’s just a five-minute review during their daily walks.

In fact, the American Stress Institute reports that 83 percent of workers in the United States suffer from work-related stress, while Statistics Canada reports that 62 percent of Canadian workers say work is their main source of stress. After a lifetime of confronting work-related stress, individuals who want to work in retirement should look for pressure-free opportunities. This is an important quality, as the ASI indicates that stress has been linked to increased rates of heart attack, hypertension and other disorders.

LEAVING A JOB GRACEFULLY Watch out for social media. It’s best to keep resignation plans to yourself and off of social media. You never know who is reading your posts, and bad-mouthing a soon-to-be-former employer can lead to hurt feelings and poor references. Resist the urge to rant about what’s making you unhappy at work or brag about a new position to your social network.

THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB Don’t shirk responsibilities. It can be tempting to slack off when another job awaits.

The popular job-hunting site Monster.com says it can be human nature to do less when long-term accountability is removed. However, you never know when you might need a referral or even a new job. Leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of your employer at the end of your work history can put a black mark on your employee record.

Take a moment to let a business owner know you saw their ad in the Penny Saver, tell a friend about an upcoming event or like any of our posts on social media.

These small gestures make all the difference to us.
