CORN MAZE: Visiting a corn maze is an activity that many people instantly associate with fall. Some farmers transform their cornfields into corn mazes once the temperatures dip, and such mazes can be fun for adults and children alike. Though adolescents can often be trusted to find their way through corn mazes, younger kids should be accompanied by an adult.

chat and take the person’s mind off the cancer can be immensely helpful. Keep in mind that emotions may change on a dime, and some emotions may be directed at support systems. While it can feel hurtful, remember the real reason for any outburst is the disease. Patience is needed at all times.
The University of Maryland Extension notes that stripe smut primarily poses a threat to Kentucky bluegrass that is older than three years. Pale green streaks that run parallel to the veins in the leaves and leaf sheaths are symptomatic of stripe smut, which tends to be noticed in spring and fall, when weather is cool. As the disease progresses, stripes turn black or a silvery gray, causing the leaf blade to shred and curl. After the blades have shred, they turn brown and die. The grass thins because stripe smut makes it vulnerable to problems like drought.
Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES
Review the business online. Review Trackers reports that more than 81 percent of consumers are likely to visit Google Reviews prior to visiting a business. That’s a testament to the value of online review aggregators. After a positive experience with a local business, consumers can visit Google Reviews or another online review aggregator like Yelp and share the details of their encounter. Chances are strong the review will be read and compel others to patronize the business.
PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER
Keeping a car waxed and sealed can help maintain a durable exterior finish. This includes not only the paint, but the rubber and vinyl parts of the car’s exterior.
Winter is a good time to switch to a heavy-duty synthetic wax that can shield against water and road salts. High-quality sealants can be used on bumpers, trim and rubber door seals as added protection. Speak with an automotive retailer or even the car dealership if you are unsure which products will make your car’s parts most durable for winter weather. Do not stop washing your car just because the weather is cold. Slushy, wet roads and snow-melting salts can speed up the formation of rust or other decay on the undercarriage of the vehicle. These materials will need to be periodically cleaned off. Flush the underside of the vehicle whenever possible, taking advantage of any dry, slightly warmer days.

Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season, as beautifully as it was taken up. It is the pastime of a full quarter of the year. Dead trees, sere leaves, dried grass and herbs—are not these a good part of our life? And what is that pride of our autumnal scenery but the hectic flush, the sallow and cadaverous countenance of vegetation? its painted throes, withtheNovemberairforcanvas?

The Season was waning to its close. The gardens showed but little of the ravages of autumn as yet. The noble avenues of trees were still in their glory of fulness and expansive verdure; although here and there a few fallen leaves seemed to have fluttered down to earth as premature heralds of decay. The later flowers were gorgeous in their many-coloured splendour, though their earlier sisters had already lived the best of their lives, and now drooped their heads, as if to hide their blighted charms.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
MAKE A WINTER TRAINING SCHEDULE FOR YOUR PET
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My German Shepherd, “Dante,” is smart but stubborn, and constant training is essential. But I wanted to share a method I use to make sure I keep up with his basic obedience training and work on advanced skills year-round.
Every three to four months, I sit down with a new notebook and make a training journal for Dante. It helps me organize my thoughts around how to best train him in the late fall and winter, when going outside every day isn’t always possible, or the weather is so unpleasant that Dante won’t listen to my commands.
I write down the training goals I want to accomplish during this period. I note any behavioral or training issues that Dante has had up to now. Shepherds, like many big dogs and herders, have a lot of energy and need at least an hour per day of exercise, so I figure out the best times to do that. ere are also a lot of holidays during this period, and the journal gives me a place to figure out in advance how I will handle travel, training, parties and other schedule challenges.
I hope my method will help other readers who are trying to maintain their dog’s obedience skills while having a busy life. -- Cheryl K. in Eau Claire, Wisconsin
DEAR Cheryl: at’s fantastic advice! ank you for sharing your journaling method. It sounds like it provides a space to write down much more information than jotting notes on a wall calendar.
Creating a training schedule and journal also is a big help in monitoring how well your dog is progressing with their training, and noting areas where improvements can be made.

Awesome Red Cross Staff
The Red Cross put out a request for blood donations to help hurricane victims. I made an appointment with the John St. Donation Center in Henrietta. I can’t say enough about the wonderful Staff at this location. I was treated like I was the #1 blood donor but I noticed that ALL OF US WERE TREATED like we were #1. Thank you to all the staff for their care, compassion and help.

Hoarding Already
VENT
It’s laughable seeing people already hoarding toilet paper and other items because of the dockworkers’ strike. Didn’t we learn anything from Covid? Buy more throughout the year. Stock up. With costs rising, most items cost less 6 months or a year ago. Now they run into stores and buy in bulk before anyone else does. Planning ahead helps everyone.
The volunteers of the Friends of the Batavia Peace Garden would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers, patrons, donors and friends for their unwavering support. The Peace Garden looks amazing, thanks to the dedicated volunteers who weeded and watered throughout the summer.
Our famous Friday hot dog stand had an outstanding season. Our hot dog stand volunteers worked diligently to serve our new and repeat customers. We thoroughly enjoyed everyone who stopped by for lunch and to visit.
Loud Blue [Vehicle]
We are grateful for the community support afforded to us. You all had a hand in keeping the flags flying and the flowers blooming.
A heartfelt thanks to all and we look forward to seeing you next year.
To the person who drives the blue [vehicle] all over town: your loud, obnoxious, obtrusive driving is a distraction and nuisance to numerous people. I recently saw a fleet of [vehicles] and they were quiet, so the noise level is something within your control. I think it would behoove you to find another, more productive way to spend your time; it’s curious how you are able to drive around aimlessly all night and all weekend.

The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more in our morning walk we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds or the rains out of these delicate textures while we slept.
How beautifully the leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days! There are exceptions, of course. The leaves of most of the fruit-trees fade and wither and fall ingloriously. They bequeath their heritage of color to their fruit. Upon it they lavish the hues which other trees lavish upon their leaves....
But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.
~John Burroughs, “The Falling Leaves,” Under the Maples

Learn To Adjust YourBody to a New Sleeping Schedule
DEAR DR. ROACH: I just retired from working the graveyard shift for 40 years. I am hoping you can share some information on how to safely learn to sleep at night once again. -- E.H.
ANSWER: Changing your body’s circadian rhythm isn’t always easy, and after such a long time, it will take longer for you. But it shouldn’t be as difficult as you might fear. When people fly to the other part of the world, they need to get accustomed to a new sleep schedule, and it usually doesn’t take more than a week or two for them to get accustomed. For you, it will be difficult learning to be up during the day, which is more of a behavioral issue than a circadianrhythm issue.
RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER
The first advice I give is to push your internal time clock forward, not backward. Try to stay up two hours or so later each day until you get to a bedtime that works with your family (if appropriate) and goals. Your body has an easier time moving forward than backward.
Bright light can be your friend or your enemy. You want bright light when you wake up, not right before bed. Computers, phones and tablets all put out light that signals your brain to wake up, so don’t use these before bed. Making sure that your bedroom is dark when you want to sleep is something you probably have already done, but it’s still worth mentioning.
Caffeine is very helpful to a lot of people, so if you partake, do so when you awaken, not before bedtime. Some people metabolize caffeine slowly, so if you do, don’t have any caffeine for at least 8 hours before planning to go to sleep.
Women with a family history of breast cancer in a first-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) have an increased risk of breast cancer. Women who have inherited changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes or in certain other genes have a higher risk of breast cancer. The risk of breast cancer caused by inherited gene changes depends on the type of gene mutation, family history of cancer, and other factors.

ANDREA TAIT:
Love Yoursel Back to Li e
Andrea Tait, a Lyons native, initially pursued a career in sports medicine and physical therapy at Scotland’s Robert Gordon University. Today, her focus is on mental health and wellness across Monroe, Ontario, and Wayne counties. rough her roles at Newark Central Schools, BOCES, and now Victor Central Schools—where she works with children with special needs and serves as Wellness Coordinator for staff—Andrea has coached countless parents, professionals, and groups in wellness practices. Her mission is clear: to make the world a better place, one “bucket” at a time.
STORY BY SUZIE WELLS
Life has thrown Andrea her share of challenges. In 2020, at age 48, she suffered a heart attack. A er visiting countless doctors and specialists, she discovered that the root cause of her heart attack was emotional stress. is realization came amid an overwhelming period in her life—grieving her father’s passing, recovering from rotator cuff surgery, and managing a tumultuous divorce. Her body had given her a clear signal: it was time to heal, emotionally and physically.
“I’ve been through so much—I wanted to help other people,” Andrea says. Motivated by her experiences, she penned Love Yourself Back to Life, a book offering strategies and suggestions to build resilience, develop emotional stability, and maintain a positive mindset during life’s hardest moments.
Andrea has built a reputation as a speaker, leading professional development workshops on topics such as emotional currency, mindfulness, and interpersonal relationships. Over the years, her presentations have expanded organically through word of mouth, reaching a wider audience. In addition to her book and speaking engagements, she shares insights through her monthly wellness column in the Finger Lakes Times and in contributions to Community Health Magazine.
As Wellness Coordinator for Victor Central School District, Andrea continues to help staff prevent burnout and address emotional wellness through regular presentations. She also led self-esteem workshops for grade school girls when her daughter, now 20 and away at college, was younger. rough workshops, consultations, and curricula developed for schools and organizations, Andrea has influenced countless lives. One of her notable projects is a 21-day mental health challenge, which was picked up by the Finger Lakes Area School Health (FLASH) program’s magazine.
Reflecting on her journey, Andrea says, “Writing the book was cathartic for me, revisiting the divorce, my father’s passing, and the heart attack.” She emphasizes the importance of seeking support and shares her belief that healing is a continuous process. “Healing and grieving are constant—they’re not one-and-done, solved experiences,” she says, explaining, “Even small ways to li ourselves up” are vital.
Andrea’s personal journey has also informed her views on parenting. Raising her daughter, she says, was challenging, especially through the teenage years, but she worked really hard to develop a positive motherdaughter relationship, saying “I worked hard to consciously parent, checking my emotions and projections.”
She reflects that “so o en, mothers feel they must be strong for their kids, keeping all the balls in the air, but they can only hold things up for so long. ey need to heal themselves and be themselves, and that will make them better mothers for their children.” Ground yourself first, she advises, lovingly and knowingly saying she so o en receives requests for speaking engagements and workshops on parenting teens, so she foresees her next book being Raising a Teen, Starting at Two Years Old. Her current book, however, is applicable to so much broader of an audience than parents, though, and she hopes it will help some people along their journeys. Above all, she says, she wants people to know they are not alone in their struggles, being human is hard and fraught with challenges, and she is so thrilled to share her suggestions and strategies with the world.
Andrea is passionate about continuing her work and expanding her reach. She encourages others to connect with her on social media, saying, “God has given us the tools. If I can help other people, I’ve filled my purpose.”
ough I connected with Andrea by phone a er a social media post piqued my sensibilities for this column, I must note that to chat with Andrea is to chat with a close friend. I can only imagine how captivating and motivating her workshops and seminars must be.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to Mental Health America, individuals’ reactions to the death of a loved one can elicit unique emotions linked to their relationship to the deceased. For example, MHA, a community-based nonprofit focused on promoting mental health, notes that a child’s death could inspire different feelings than the loss of an elderly spouse. When parents lose a child, that death may arouse a sense of injustice that can overwhelm the child’s parents as they contemplate lost potential, unfulfilled dreams and, in certain instances, the child’s suffering. Elderly individuals who lose a spouse may be overcome by feelings of loneliness. Recognition of these different reactions is important because it can help individuals and their support networks more effectively cope with their grief.
