DID YOU KNOW?
Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.
HOW TO SAFELY NAVIGATE WET ROADS
Do not use cruise control. Because fall foliage can be so stunning to experience, many drivers are tempted to use the cruise control feature on their automobiles so they can pay more attention to the array of colors at their disposal. But cruise control should never be engaged when driving on wet roads or roads that may be covered in leaves. Such conditionsrequiredriverstofocus their undivided attention on the road ahead of them. When drivers suddenly encounter slick roads, easing off the accelerator rather than quickly applying the brakes can be the safest response, but such a response is impossible whencruisecontrolisengaged.

Jack is full of personality, likes to hang out close with the family and stares in the kitchen window to remind us of his mealtimes.
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you remind your readers that Halloween can present many dangers to pets? ank you. -- Clara in Atlanta
DEAR CLARA: You’re absolutely right! While it can be lots of fun to celebrate Halloween with your pet, owners need to protect them from risks that can endanger them during the fun.
If you’re having a Halloween party, consider sending your pet to a friend or family member for the evening or give them a safe place to hang out while the guests are there -- like your bedroom or a back room. Make sure they have a comfy bed or blanket, water and toys. You can bring a pet out to meet the party guests if they are well socialized and calm in group settings. Once your dog or cat (or rabbit or bird or iguana) has said hello to everyone, take them back to their safe room.
Costumes on pets are so much fun, but be sure that the costume isn’t constrictive and that wearing it doesn’t cause them anxiety. A few minutes at a time is recommended -- enough time to get some cute photos for your Instagram.
Keep all candies, cookies and sweet treats out of reach of your pets. Chocolate is especially dangerous for dogs. Likewise, if you have party snacks out, keep them up high. Avocado, onions and grapes are also dangerous foods for dogs and cats.
If you’re trick-or-treating with your pet, keep them on a leash at all times. at includes cats! It’s dark, the streets are unfamiliar and there are lots of strange characters walking around. Your pet can get scared and run off.
With advance preparation, you can have a safe, fun and happy Halloween! KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN

ELSIE’S STEWED APPLES
Serves 6 to 8
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
1/2 cup honey, preferably sage honey
1/2 cup white wine
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh sage sprigs for garnish
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.
2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.
3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

LOCAL DINING SPOTS FOSTER COMMUNITY
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.
HOBBIES FOR DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES
Athletes can pursue a host of potential hobbies or activities that will foster their love of sports. Men and women who still have a hop in their step can sign up to compete in adult sports leagues. Depending on the sport, leagues might be available to adults of various ages and skill levels, and some may even be more focused on fun than competition. For athletes who can no longer lace up their cleats, coaching youth sports or volunteering to coach at a nearby school provides a chance to stay involved even if competing is no longer possible.

WORDS FOUND ON A FIVE DOLLAR BILL
Sewn with Love: Celebrating the Art and Heart of the Alexander Quilt Show
BY SUZIE WELLS
The art of quilting has long been more than just a cra ; it is a creative outlet, a community-builder, and a source of comfort for many. ese values were reflected in the annual Alexander Quilt Show, Stitches in Time, hosted by e Museum Quilt Guild. is year, the show took place on October 18th and 19th at the Alexander Fireman’s Recreation Hall. Attendees were treated to a stunning array of more than 150 quilts, all made by members of the guild, each one showcasing a range of techniques, styles, and purposes.
e quilts on display represented a spectrum of quilting traditions, from intricate hexagon-patterned quilts to yo-yo quilts created from small, circular fabric scraps sewn together. Other quilts featured designs inspired by T-shirts, while some demonstrated the elegance of cathedral window patterns. With such a variety of quilts at the show, visitors encountered creations that appealed to all tastes... whether they were drawn to the warmth of a full-size bed quilt, the coziness of a throw perfect for curling up while reading or watching TV, or the beauty of a wall hanging perfect for home décor.
Although the display quilts were not for sale, guests had the opportunity to take home handmade creations. e guild’s boutique offered unique items cra ed with care. In addition, the event featured a raffle with a stunning bed quilt as the grand prize, along with a silent auction and a basket raffle. e proceeds from the event help fund the guild’s various community service initiatives, making the show not just a chance to admire art, but also a way to support the local community.
Guild members regularly donate lap quilts to cancer centers, such as Wilmot, to offer comfort to patients undergoing treatment. Other quilts are distributed to veterans at the VA Medical Center and the New York State Veterans Home, as well as to children in need through organizations like Head Start and All Babies Cherished.
Beyond individual quilt donations, the guild organizes work meetings where members gather to cra quilts specifically for charitable causes. One of their ongoing projects involves making twin-size bed quilts for Buffalo’s chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an organization that builds beds for children who do not have one. Guild members also
create small lap quilts for Batavia’s Agri-Business Child Development Center, surgical caps for children, and gi bags for the Salvation Army. e impact of these quilts goes far beyond their beauty... they provide warmth, comfort, and a tangible reminder of community support.
Meeting at the VA from 9:30-noon on the 3rd Saturday each month, the Museum Quilt Guild has long been a community of passionate quilters, with members ranging from beginners to seasoned veterans. e group’s chairperson, Elaine Moodie, said she joined in 2017 but was originally intimidated by the group’s ‘guild’ name, but “there was no need for that! Members are friendly and helpful. We share ideas and give each other inspiration. Anyone who is interested in quilts can join even if they don’t make quilts themselves. Our meetings are fun and educational as well as social events.”
Quilting, long known for its therapeutic qualities, offers a creative outlet and a sense of fulfillment as scraps of fabric are transformed into cohesive, functional works of art. is year’s show exemplified the guild’s commitment to fostering creativity, camaraderie, and community involvement.
Moodie started sewing as a kid, remembering sixty years ago picking up scraps le from whatever her mother was sewing at the time and hand sewing them together for doll blankets. She says she did some sewing projects in 4H and off and on through the years as needs arose. Eight years ago, she started quilting more seriously, and says,
“I find quilting to be very rewarding... to take a pile of fabric and cut it up, sometimes into very small pieces, and then sew it back together to make patterns and designs is my expression of artwork. ere are so many different techniques and ways to make a quilt that I’m sure that it stimulates my brain!” She describes her fondest quilting memories as the annual quilting retreat she attends with her sisters... catching up, sharing stories, and creating quilts together.
For those who attended the Alexander Quilt Show, it was clear that the love of quilting went hand in hand with the desire to give back. Moodie and her fellow guild members embody the spirit of both creativity and compassion, and their dedication to helping others through their art was at the heart of the show. Whether visitors were seasoned quilters, admirers of fine cra smanship, or simply looking for a weekend of inspiration, the Alexander Quilt Show offered something for everyone.

HOW TO ROAD TRIP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR
Look for EV-friendly lodging. Many hotels now feature charging stations exclusively for guests with EVs. Some hotels include the cost of utilizing such stations in their parking fees, while others may charge an additional amount. Either way, the convenience of finding a hotel with its own charging station outweighs any extra costs, as cars can be charged overnight while guests are asleep, leaving more time to travel in a vehicle that’s fully charged each morning.

Plan a day to shop local fairs, shops & stands
Autumn is tailor-made for getting out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. With crisp temperatures perfect for strolls or sightseeing and breathtaking scenery awash in bright autumnal hues, autumn landscapes make for the ideal backdrop for weekend plans, including shopping excursions.
Fall is a great season to enjoy festivals, farmer’s markets and craft fairs, as merchants look to liquidate inventory before they prepare for the rush of the upcoming holiday season. Cities, towns, hamlets, and everything in between will host their share of open markets and more with great deals to be had, and fall is an ideal time to visit local shops and stands.
DEALING WITH A DIASTEMA
A diastema is a gap between teeth that most notably occurs between the two front teeth. Some people are genetically predisposed, but a diastema can also be caused by missing teeth, smaller teeth, a problem with the tissue between the lips and gums, and an abnormal swallowing reflex. Diastemas usually don’t cause oral health or dental issues, but your dentist may recommend treatments to fill larger gaps that can affect chewing and bite. Diastema gaps can be closed with orthodontics that bring the teeth closer together. In some cases, an implant may be recommended to fill an empty space. Porcelain veneers can be applied to widen teeth and close smaller gaps. Dental bonding also works well to close smaller gaps.
At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, improving the look, health, and function of your smile is our
primary focus. From cosmetic dentistry to general family dentistry to preventive care, we are dedicated to working with our patients toward the goal of achieving the healthiest, most attractive smiles possible. Are you curious how today’s dental procedures can virtually change your life? We’d be glad to tell you about the many ways we can help make your smile a dazzling one, from closing up gaps to teeth whitening. Just call us at, 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre.
P.S. Diastemas are common in herbivores like sheep, rabbits, and beavers. The gap helps them move food to the cheeks, so they can eat more efficiently.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?
HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS
is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.
• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.
• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.
• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.
• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

Taking Preventative Measures Against Sun Exposure Is Essential
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question about suntanning. First off, I want to say that I get yearly skin cancer checks, love the sun, and hardly ever use suntan lotion. I monitor my time outside, so as not to get a sunburn. I see warnings about certain days being high ultraviolet (UV) days. Are they talking about UVA or UVB, and which one gives you a tan? -- S.K.
ANSWER: You’re not going to like my answer, because all types of UV light exposure, whether they lead to a sunburn or suntan, cause damage to the skin and lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. A tan from sunlight leads to a small degree of protection against further UV light damage, but there is still ongoing skin damage with UV light exposure. Even people with very dark skin are susceptible to skin cancer, although their risk is a lot less than others. UVA light is more constant throughout the year and penetrates deeper into the skin. UVB light is stronger near the equator, at higher altitudes, and closer to the summer solstice. The UV index reported by the National Weather Service considers both UVA and UVB light in its calculations, as well as the time of year, altitude, and cloud cover.
Both UVA and UVB light cause the skin to tan, but tanning from UVA light alone (for example, in a tanning machine) doesn’t provide any protection from the sun. So, while I am at least glad that you aren’t exposing yourself enough to get burned, I don’t agree with being out in the sun to get tanned.
I do recommend the liberal use of a sunscreen with protection against both UVA and UVB. It needs to be used in a large-enough quantity to provide protection -- approximately an ounce for an average-sized body, plus another teaspoon for the face and neck. I recommend a high-SPF sunscreen (30 or more). I buy mineral sunscreens such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for myself and my family. Finally, sunscreen needs to be reapplied regularly, especially when exercising or swimming.
Staying out of the sun, wearing sun-protective clothing, and wearing sunscreen will not only help you avoid cancer, but also help you avoid problems that I see in my older patients, who did what you did when they were young. Now they have thinned skin that bleeds easily, as well as “age spots” and other signs of skin damage from the sun, including wrinkles.

What colors are used in Día de los Muertos?
Dia DeLos
This holiday uses the colors yellow and orange to portray marigolds, the sun, and light. Marigolds are their strong scent and bright colors are thought to aid the way back home.
DAYOFTHEDEAD
November 2 , 2024
The ancient indigenous people of Mexico have practiced rituals celebrating the lives of past ancestors for around 3,000 years. The celebration that is now known as the Day of the Dead originally landed on the ninth month of the Aztec calendar and was observed for the entire month. In the 20th century, the month long festivities were condensed to three days called The Days of the Dead: Halloween on October 31, Day of the Innocents on November 1, and Day of the Dead on November 2.

REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME
Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that may be lurking in homes even if homeowners are unaware of its presence. Although it is a naturally occurring substance, radon has the potential to cause serious illness. Therefore, its detection and reduction are paramount.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General’s Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The EPA further notes that many homes are in radon danger areas. Nearly one in three homes checked in seven states and on three lands designated for Native Americans had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA’s recommended action level for radon exposure. According to Air Chek, Inc., a radon testing resource, a radon level of 4 pCi/l is equal to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if a person was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

BUILDING PERMITS PROTECT HOMEOWNERS
You are thinking of making a major renovation to your home. Perhaps it’s time to create that master bedroom suite you long have admired or install that wrap-around porch? What is the first thing that should be done before getting down to business?
The correct way to begin a home remodeling project is to obtain the necessary permits for the job. Many municipalities request individuals obtain permits for a range of work on homes or other structures, such as office buildings. Permits are generally required for all new construction as well as specific modifications that will affect structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. It’s important to check with the local building office prior to beginning work to see which permits you will need beforetheprojectcanbegin.Permitsarenecessarywhetherahomeowner is doing the work or hiring an outside contractor. Duetothecostandtimeinvolvedwithsecuringpermits,somehomeowners skip this step so they can begin a project promptly. However, this can end up being a costly mistake. Permits might seem
nuisance, but they actually protect

Chicken BBQ
Dog clean up
Our little hamlet is such a special place to live. Our volunteer firemen and women recently got up very early to make HUNDREDS of chicken for the annual chicken BBQ. What a wonderful meal it was and we so appreciated and enjoyed the work these people did.
Church Sale
Please, it is not that hard to pick up after your dog goes potty! So many people just leave it. Children play in parks, people walk on trails and paths and other dogs should have the right to enjoy the outdoors as well. Don’t leave your dog’s mess for someone else to clean up or for it to cause issues. Be respectful and responsible. You chose to get a dog and cleaning up after them goes right along with having them; it’s not that hard.
Inexperienced or rushed construction worker
I saw the [local church] ad in your Penny Saver and was glad they put it in there because I went to it and let me tell you, the sale was the best The ladies had everything so well organized and each item was priced and so very neat and they only had clean, workable items and clothes. And the price for the items were a steal!! I can't thank the ladies enough for the time and effort they all did to make this sale so enjoyable and just so perfect. I can't wait for next year's sale!
Saw construction ahead so took an alternative route through a nearby neighborhood to stay out of the construction workers’ way and avoid delays. Came up to a large loader which was fine because he was in his own lane, with no other cars or obstacles on that stretch of road. Stayed in my lane, even hugging the right side to give plenty of room. As we passed each other going opposite directions towards each other, a golf cart ATV behind him came whipping out in reverse, almost all the way over into my lane just to turn the thing around. I made sure to stay in my lane the whole time (about 25 mph, not 50) and we might have come within a few feet of each other as he popped out because he was whipping almost all the way over into my lane with little warning/reason though there were no cones or flagman or anything like that so he should have looked first before whipping out so fast and so far or turn tighter because those things have a tighter turning radius than that or do a 3pt turn. But he yelled at me.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

HOW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE HELPING THE DEAF
Cochlear implants The NDC notes that cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. Cochlear implants utilize electrodes placed in the cochlea, or inner ear, to stimulate the auditory nerve of individuals who have substantial and permanent hearing loss.
The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals the implant is sending. In addition, the NDC notes that certain types of hearing loss cannot be remedied with cochlear implants.
SHRIMP POTATO PATTIES
Makes about 2 dozen
6 medium-size red potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup seeded and chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup seeded and chopped green bell peppers
1/2 cup seeded and chopped yellow bell peppers
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco brand pepper sauce
2 pounds medium-size shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely ground in a food processor
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup chopped freshly parsley leaves
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1. In a large saucepan, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water to cover until fork tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork. Let cool.
2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium-size skillet. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, salt, cayenne, black pepper, and Tabasco, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Combine the shrimp mixture with the potato mixture. Add the eggs and parsley and mix well. Let cool for 10 minutes.
4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Form the shrimp mixture into patties, using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture, depending on what size you desire, and pat lightly with the flour. Cook two to three at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

Nursing is one of the fastest-growing and longest-running occupations in the United States and Canada. The New England Hospital for Women and Children, established in 1862, was the first nursing school in the United States. The first formal nursing training program in Canada was established in 1874 at the General and Marine Hospital in St. Catharines, Ontario. The American Nurses Association was started in 1898. The CanadianNurses’Association,formerlytheCanadianNationalAssociation of Trained Nurses, was developed in 1907. These associations are national professional associations representing the hundreds of thousands of nurses across the country and are instrumental in legislative policy and the influences of health care on nursing professionals today.

ROASTED BANANA COFFEE CAKE
Serves 8
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 tablespoon at room temperature for the pan
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 bananas
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan with the 1 tablespoon room temperature butteranddustwiththegranulated sugar and tip out any excess.
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.
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.
