CHOOSING AND APPLYING MULCH Homeowners may associate mulch with springtime lawn and garden care, but mulching in fall can benefit a lawn as well. According to the Morton Arboretum in Illinois, mulch protects roots against extreme temperatures, and not just those associated with summer heat waves.

Mulch is often connected with its ability to help soil retain moisture during especially warm times of the year, when mulch promotes strong roots that can help lawns and plants survive periods of extreme heat. But when applied in the fall, mulch also inhibits freezing and thawing in winter, reducing the likelihood that plants will be injured.

How physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer

Breast cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of women across the globe each year.

Though the American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that only about 4 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40, women of all ages can take steps to protect themselves against this deadly disease.

Exercise benefits women in a myriad of ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer.

The ACS notes that researchers are increasingly linking exercise to a reduced risk for breast cancer. Though the reasons behind that link remain unclear, some theorize that the positive effects of exercise on body weight, inflammation, hormones, and energy balance could be why regular physical activity helps women reduce their risk of breast cancer.

Body weight and breast cancer The National Cancer Institute reports that being obese after menopause can significantly increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. In addition, the ACS attributes the rise in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to an increased prevalence of excessive body weight. Routine exercise is a highly effective way to lose weight and keep weight off, which in turn could lower women’s risk for breast cancer.

Does physical activity really reduce breast cancer risk?

The human body is complex, and a host of factors, including those like age that women have no control over, can affect cancer risk. However, engaging in routine physical activity seems to be an effective way for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer. In fact, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation estimates that one-third of all breast cancer cases could be prevented with positive lifestyle choices that help women maintain a healthy weight, including exercise.

Routine physical activity can be a significant weapon in women’s arsenal as they continue their efforts to prevent and overcome breast cancer.

Being sedentary and breast cancer Exercise is a not a sedentary activity, and that could be another reason why women who are physically active have a lower risk for breast cancer. The ACS notes that more than one study has linked sitting time to a higher risk of various diseases, including breast cancer. Researchers with the ACS analyzed data from 77,462 women, who they followed for an average of 15.8 years.

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER ● GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

None of the participants had cancer when the study started, but researchers found that women who sat for six or more hours per day during their free time had a 10 percent greater risk for invasive breast cancer than women who sat for less than three hours per day during free time.

HLOM Java with Joe E.: Tyler Angora, “Victorian Era Mourning”- Thursday, October 26 at 9am. “Mourning during the Victorian era (1855-1925) was a tradition that faded into the void following the end of the period.

Mourning became a mainstream societal measure for almost everyone that lost a loved one. Women, however, became the leading figures in mourning as they followed strict rituals and rules, especially when their husbands died. From Black dresses to black veils which made women sick, mourning has become a fascination of the past.”

Admission is free and coffee and donuts will be served. If you would like to attend please contact the museum at 585-343-4727 or hollandlandoffice@gmail.com.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * That little white paper strip coming out of the top of Hershey’s Kisses is called a plume and was originally introduced by the company to distinguish the product from phony knock-off candies.

PAW’S CORNER

Cat and Dog Can Coexist DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I periodically dog-sit for a neighbor, keeping her small Beagle, Downy, at my house while she travels. The problem is my cat, Sparks. He is absolutely infuriated when I bring Downy home, even though Downy doesn’t bark at him. Sparks will yowl and glare at the dog every time they’re in the same room. And now, Sparks is peeing on the rug next to my bed the entire time that Downy visits. What can I do about this? -- Cheryl J., Reno, Nevada DEAR CHERYL: Ouch! Cats are notoriously territorial, not just with dogs but with other cats, too. And Sparks does not seem to be settling in to the notion that Downy is an OK guest to have.

It’s clear that you’ll have to keep the two of them separate when Downy is visiting. But by leaving a mess on your bedroom rug, Sparks is signaling that separation may not be enough. The situation is really stressing him out. He’s drawing the line by marking your rug, a clear statement: This is my territory!

The quickest way to resolve the issue, of course, is to stop dog-sitting for your friend -- or dog-sit by periodically visiting her home throughout the day to spend time with Downy and make sure he has food and water.

But if that’s not possible, and you intend to keep Downy at your house instead, you’ve got only a few options.

• Keep a clear separation between Downy and the cat. Place their food bowls in separate rooms with the door closed between them.

• Change out the rug in your bedroom for a new one, and spray it with cat pheromone (available at pet stores) to try to stop Sparks from peeing on it.

• Consider giving Sparks an anti-anxiety medication (available from the veterinarian) to reduce his stress.

Best of luck. Be patient with both pets; they may never be comfortable around each other, but you may be able to keep them both from being too anxious.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

Paying It Forward, One Onion At A Time I was dining at my favorite local restaurant, enjoying my usual: the famous garbage plate. Now, as we all know, the portion sizes of these beasts could feed a small army! So I always bring snack size baggies with me to save small portions for later, as well as the extra toppings. I had bagged up all of my leftovers and was walking to my car when I saw an older gal struggling under the weight of a hefty garbage plate. The mighty plate proved to be too much and clattered to the ground, spilling some of its precious contents! I sprang into action as quickly as I could (I ain’t no spring chicken myself!) and saved what I could for this hungry patron. As I helped wrangle her meal, I noticed her plate was lacking the integral diced onions. How serendipitous! I promptly pulled my snack size baggie of diced onions from my pocket and handed it to her with a slight bow. She departed, bounty in tow, off to enjoy her sumptuous GP with diced onions. It made my day to make her day. Bon appetit!

Thank you!

I’d like to thank the parents of TE for raising an honest young man. Last week I lost my purse while running errands. I went home and couldn’t find it, so I went to the last place I remember stopping - my local dollar store. When I went back, T was the first person to greet me with my purse - what a relief! There was an older gentleman who said, “Lady, you’re lucky to get your purse back!” and he was right. I was so thankful, not for the $10 left in it but my license, DPA, credit cards, pictures, and more were all there. I’m 88 years old and the only thing I could remember was that I lost my bag. This is a tip for older ones: make a list of everything in your wallet and leave it in a safe place at home. Then if you lose it, you’ll be able to know what exactly you’re missing. T - it would be a better world if everyone was honest like you. Thank you!

SHARE WITH US Junk and More I cannot believe how the village is OK with a business using a historical area for junk/storage. This has been brought up to the village office and code enforcement. It seems like they are more concerned about a single vehicle in a remote location than the center of the village. Why? It makes me wonder about the special privileges some people/owners receive. It wasn’t that long ago the village was all over a business in the same area to clean up, so why does this place get a free pass? I know NOTHING was said because MORE junk is being piled up. Boats, vehicles, trailers, vans, lawn mowers, appliances, plows, A-Verdi boxes, lawn furniture, toys, etc. Visitors are seeing this area and the village should be ashamed.

STOP THE SMOKERS Please stop the people taking over some of the senior apartment buildings by smoking inside every day for years. It is putting others’ health at risk. Get them out! They do it because they can. What are you afraid of? You’re not very good at your job. Do your job or find another one that you’re good at. You don’t take away one’s right and give it to another.

Stretch. Bodies that have been inactive for lengthy periods of time are inflexible, and lack of flexibility increases your risk for injury. The AAOS recommends that seniors warm up their bodies before stretching with five to 10 minutes of low-intensity activity such as walking. Then stretch gently, remembering to relax and breathe during each stretch.

DID YOU KNOW? When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices.

For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures.

Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

Here’s a tip * Fill your salt and pepper shakers a fourth of the way with uncooked white rice. Dry rice will allow the salt or pepper to flow more freely from the shaker. If your shaker is opaque, you can tell when it’s time to add more salt or pepper when the shaker starts to rattle. * Mark old toothbrushes with masking tape so you can tell the difference between cleaning brushes and those you use for your teeth. You can clean a toothbrush in the dishwasher. Put it with the silverware. * Because fabric softeners can leave residue on the dryer’s lint trap, clean yours out at least every other month. Just scrub with plain old soap and water. * “Add this to the list of wonderful cleaners for wood floors: tea. Just brew a couple of cups and use the tea as you would your regular wood floor cleaner. It’s nice and shiny afterward.” -- P.L. in Oregon

Seizure-Like Reactions Pose the Question of Epilepsy

NUMB AND NUMBERS Novocain was developed in 1905 and is still the primary local anesthetic used to numb the procedure area in dental work. It begins working immediately and usually lasts for 30 to 60 minutes.

When used with epinephrine, the numbness can last around 90 minutes.

The appropriate dosage has a lot to do with how long the numbness will last. A root canal requires more numbing than a simple filling, for example. Although Novocain is a short-acting anesthetic, some people stay numb longer than others and may experience facial and tongue numbness for several hours after a procedure. It also depends on factors like the individual’s metabolism, any medical conditions they have, medications they may take, and the presence of infection.

like you to know we have calmed the anxieties of many patients at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL over the years, with our state-of-the-art materials and procedures, relaxing atmosphere and friendly, compassionate staff.

And because of the many advances in dentistry, the dental procedures we perform today are much less painful or even pain-free. We’ll work together at 6 Batavia City Centre, to ensure your appointments with us are comfortable, productive, and rewarding. You can reach us at 585.343.4246.

P.S. Try going for a walk after a minor dental procedure with Novocain to increase your metabolism and help the anesthetic wear off.

episodes without tonic/clonic body movements in high altitude.

These episodes occured while he was traveling, being physically active in Colorado and skiing in France. Both episodes happened at least 12 hours after physical activity. Our general physician back home felt that these were not true seizures, instead a reaction to possibly being dehydrated in high altitudes.

A vast amount of testing resulted in nothing unusual going on with his cardiovascular system or his brain. But just recently, he had another episode two days after being active, hydrating at sea level and banging his head -- with more body movement this time.

I have been researching online, and seizure-like reactions seem to occur due to electrolyte imbalances. It is very hard to get to a neurologist without an excessive wait time. Do you think antiseizure medications are warranted? -- S.S. ANSWER: It’s important to separate a seizure (which anyone can get if there is enough stress to the brain) from epilepsy, a condition where the person is susceptible to recurring seizures.

For it to be considered epilepsy, a person generally needs at least two unprovoked seizures (with no unusual stress to the brain) at least 24 hours apart. Only epilepsy is treated with long-term antiseizure medicines.

There is indeed a risk of developing seizures while at a high altitude. In addition, there are many other conditions that can provoke a seizure. You mentioned electrolyte imbalance, but sodium (too much or too little) as well as too little amounts of magnesium and calcium are among the most common. Low blood sugar is a frequent cause.

Some recreational drugs cause seizures, but withdrawal from drugs, especially alcohol, is more common. Metabolic diseases of the kidney and thyroid are also common. Sleep deprivation, brain injury (especially stroke, but also trauma), brain tumors and brain infections are all common triggers that your husband probably received an evaluation for.

Had it only been the first seizure, my advice likely would have been the same as your physician’s, although I probably would have suggested a consultation with an epileptologist (a neurologist with special expertise in seizures). Now that he has had a second -- and unprovoked -- seizure, my suspicion that he has epilepsy is much higher. (In hindsight, it’s clear that the first reaction really was a seizure.)

Most people experiencing their first seizure while at a high altitude were eventually found to have epilepsy after further testing, including an electroencephalogram (EEG). The high altitude doesn’t cause the seizure; it just increases the risk of a seizure in a person who has an underlying propensity for it. This may also occur with many medicines, especially those used for depression.

Your husband should see an epileptologist as soon as possible.

I strongly feel that it’s unwise for nonexperts to prescribe anti-seizure drugs, except as a treatment until a patient can be seen by an expert. I have seen that done many times, and it is done improperly, at least according to the expert a patient eventually sees. Your husband needs a timely and comprehensive reevaluation. Epileptologists recognize that new onset seizures in an adult require a more timely appointment.

RochesterB YCity Music Teacher Zachary Arenz SUZIE W ELLS Named New York State Teacher of the Year BY SUZIE WELLS Zachary Arenz, music teacher at Rochester City School 54, Flower City School, has been named New York State Teacher of the Year for 2024. His passion toward his craft overflows as he talks about his teaching journey.

Arenz says his mom was a teacher, his sister is a teacher, so it seemed to be in his blood. He says, “Teaching was the only job I really knew I wanted to do.” When his mom went back to school to train as a teacher herself, Arenz, only ten at the time, saw her passion ignite, and that inspired him to pursue the craft himself. “It was never a negotiation,” he says; he just knew he would teach. And when he was in high school, he solidified his interest in teaching music. He says he loved participating in the arts.

A Long Island native, Arenz completed his Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in Music Education at SUNY Fredonia. Fresh out of grad school, Arenz spent a year teaching 7th-9th grade music students in a bilingual school in Sweden, and then came back to the States to teach in the City of Rochester and has been there ever since.

Recognized as Teacher of the Year in the Rochester City School District in 2014 and 2021, and a finalist for 2023 NYS Teacher of the Year, Arenz says, “It’s an incredible honor” to receive the award. It provides increased opportunities for Arenz to continue learning, opening new lines of professional development he didn’t know existed. He is excited to use his platform to share his colleagues’ experiences and share the needs for development within the Rochester City School District.

Arenz loves teaching music because he says it gives him the opportunity to connect with the students and make a difference with them. He says, “When my students are connected to a lesson, they’ll work for it. The more you connect, the more they open up.” He says breaking down barriers with the kids is paramount to their success in and outside the classroom.

Arenz says he’s had a growing network supporting him since the day he started in Rochester ten years ago. He particularly describes the impact of now-Assistant Principal Alison Schmitt throughout the years. After the Rochester CSD mentor process, Arenz continued working with Schmitt through the school’s Peer Review option, gaining valuable feedback on strategies and best practices. He says “it’s quite serendipitous” that Schmitt is now the school’s well-placed Assistant Principal.

A bassoonist with the Genesee Valley Wind Ensemble outside school, Arenz says he devotes his skills almost exclusively to RCSD students.

Arenz says his goals are to give his students the tools needed to become lifelong musicians – not necessarily becoming expert performers, but proficient participants in the world of music, perhaps taking in live shows, appreciating the hard work musicians put into the craft to produce concerts and such. He aims to teach his students enough skills to keep learning through life. And he adds lightheartedly, “Hey, it’d be cool if a student gave a shoutout at the Grammy’s, but ya know.”

Most importantly, he hopes he imparts to students the importance of being kind, of being good human beings. He explains, “When something traumatic happens, they still show up to school tomorrow. I can’t expect them to come to school fine like nothing happened. The only way we’re going to tackle that is for me to know who they are. If they know that when they cross the threshold into my classroom, they can talk about what happened, a weight lifts.”

Arenz says “Everyone has a backpack they carry – our kids’ backpacks tend to be heavier than many, or heavier than we hope they’d carry by adulthood, but really everyone has a backpack, and we need to be aware of that weight. We need to understand the students, connect with the students, and know the students, so they can feel comfortable in the safe space that is our classrooms.”

Arenz’s passion for teaching and compassion toward his students overflows, and it’s no wonder he received the NYS Teacher of the Year Award. To current and aspiring teachers, Arenz cheers, “We got this.

Teaching’s hard. We know that. We will find success when we are all supporting each other, and our success will translate to student success.”

RCSD Superintendent Carmine Peluso says Arenz’ “commitment to his profession and dedication to his students is inspiring. He is a natural leader and a fantastic representative for teachers across the state.”

NYSUT President Melinda Person says Arenz “exemplifies the lifechanging work our teachers do every day … guiding children and families through restorative practices, turning his classroom into a refuge where students feel supported… proof that emphasizing the whole child is key to healthy students, public schools, and communities.”

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OFFICE MORE ECO-FRIENDLY Recycle old equipment.

Advancements in technology now occur at a breakneck pace, so the equipment businesses use today may very well be obsolete tomorrow. Businesses that want to be more eco-friendly should recycle rather than discard old equipment. Simply throwing equipment away might even be illegal depending on where an office is located. Some electronics contain mercury, lead or arsenic, hazardous materials that can do significant damage to the environment when not properly disposed of. Some retailers, including the office supply chain Staples, accept old equipment for recycling at their stores at no charge to business owners. If equipment is still functional but somewhat outdated, look into donating it to local organizations in need.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize. Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop timesaving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time.

Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress.

The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.
