* On Nov. 6, 1854, John Philip Sousa, “The March King,” is born in Washington, D.C. Sousa composed 136 marches, including “The Washington Post” (1889) and “Stars and Stripes Forever” (1896).
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?

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.
Harvesting the Past: The Autumnal Farming Traditions of Western NY
BY KAYLEE DUDA
So many towns in the Rochester area boast a rich agricultural history that has shaped its landscape and community for centuries. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, farming was the backbone of much of the economy, with autumn being a particularly busy and celebratory time for local farmers. It has been illuminating to explore the traditions of yesteryear.
During the 1800s, farming in Western NY was largely defined by small, family-owned farms. Autumn meant the culmination of a year’s hard work, a time when farmers gathered the fruits of their labor before the onset of winter. Key crops during this period included wheat, corn, potatoes, and apples, all of which were harvested in the fall. e process of harvesting was labor-intensive and required the entire family’s involvement, along with hired hands or even neighbors who pitched in during particularly bountiful seasons.
One of the most iconic crops of the area was (and remains) the apple, our state fruit for which the Finger Lakes region and Western NY is well-known to this day. Orchards dotted the landscape, with farmers cultivating several varieties, each ripening at different times to extend the harvest season. Apples were hand-picked from trees, o en in late September and October, with the entire family participating in the gathering process. Apples were stored in cool, dark cellars to preserve them through the winter or were processed into cider.
Cidermakingwasacommonpracticeamongareafarmers.Apples were crushed using wooden presses, and the juice was fermented in barrels. Hard cider was a staple on many farm tables, providing a source of refreshment and, in some cases, a form of currency or trade. By late autumn, many farmers would have a significant portion of their apple harvest dedicated to cider production, ensuring they had a supply to last through the winter months.
Grain crops such as wheat and oats were another significant part of our area’s autumn harvest. e process began with reaping, where farmers used scythes or horse-drawn reapers to cut the stalks. e grain was bundled into sheaves and le to dry in the fields before being threshed. reshing separated the grain from the chaff and was o en done using a flail or, later, with the help of threshing machines. reshing machines were a significant advancement, allowing farmers to process grain more efficiently. In the early days, threshing
was a communal activity, with neighbors o en coming together to help. is sense of community was central to the farming lifestyle here, especially during the fall harvest when time was of the essence.
Completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 had a profound impact on Western NY agriculture. e canal provided an efficient means for farmers to transport their goods to larger markets, particularly during autumn when crops were harvested in abundance. Farmers in Western NY could ship grain, apples, and other produce to New York City and beyond, significantly boosting the local economy. is connection to the canal meant that autumn in Western NY was not just about harvesting but also about preparing goods for transport. Farmers would spend the fall months gathering crops and processing, packaging, and readying them for the journey along the canal.
Today, some (arguably a lot of) farmland has given way to residential and commercial development. However, the legacy of our agricultural past lives on in local traditions and landmarks. Farmers’ markets are a modern-day reflection of our deep-rooted farming traditions.
Western NY’s agricultural history is a testament to the hard work and resilience of its early farmers. eir practices, particularly during the fall harvest, shaped the local economy and fostered a strong sense of community, a spirit that continues to be felt in Western NY today. Support your local farms and farmers this autumn and year-round to keep our local economy going and growing.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
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.

EXPLAINING METASTATIC CANCER
Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited toahostoffactors.Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts ofvariousorganizationstopromote cancer prevention and raise awarenessaboutthedisease.
The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidence-based prevention strategies. However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatly reducing their likelihood of surviving the disease.
Cancerthatspreadstodistantparts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often referred to as “stage IV cancer.” According to theNationalCancerInstitute,when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traitslikethatoftheprimarycancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from anotherpartofthebody.
When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the metastatic cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.
Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

PROBLEMS THAT CAN LEAD TO LAWN DAMAGE
Lack of sunlight: All plants need the proper ratio of sunlight to grow. Too much sunlight and plant blades can scorch. Too little sunlight and grass may turn brown and die. Although there are shade-tolerant varieties of grass, homeowners also can explore alternative landscapes. Work in a garden bed or create a design that utilizes gravel or mulch. Avoid aggressively pruning back trees to give the lawn more sunlight in that area, as this may just damage the trees.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS
Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.

PAW’S CORNER

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN
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!

DID YOU KNOW?
Getting out and about is a vital component of many seniors’ daily lives, but it’s important that aging men and women recognize how much exercise is healthy for them. The Department of Health & Human Services notes that adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy.That mix should be a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which can include golfing, swimming and even gardening, and muscle strengthening activities like weightlifting that make the muscles work harder than usual.The DHHS recommends adults combine 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week with at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that these guidelines are safe for individuals who are 65 and older, generally fit and have no limiting health conditions. Individuals who do not fit that criteria should consult with their physicians before beginning a new exercise regimen, as it’s possible that they could be putting their health at considerable risk if they attempt to follow guidelines designed for people who are generally fit. It’s also important that healthy seniors avoid overdoing it in regard to exercise.Though the DHHS suggestions are the minimum recommendations,going too far beyond those guidelines without first consulting a physician could increase seniors’ risk for injury, illness or even death.

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.

Our staff is here to assist you with pre-arrangement options. We offer various services to meet your needs, including traditional funerals and cremation services. Our traditional funerals include a visitation, funeral service, and burial. Our cremation services offer various options, from a simple cremation to a memorial service or cremation with visitation options.
Create a charitable foundation: Those who have the time and resources can establish their own charitable groups in the decedent’s name. This method of charity requires the most time and effort, but can prove to be quite an impactful memorial. Individuals who would like to go this route can consult with financial and tax professionals about the best way to establish a charitable group.
Community foundation: Families can focus on something their loved one cared deeply about, such as animal rescue, children, the arts, or even particular places in a community - such as a local park. AccordingtoCarePages,acompanythatproducesfreepatientwebsites and offers community support for those coping with illness, families can choosetohavetheirdonationsfunneledtospecificcharitiesornonprofit groups. Otherwise, funds can be allocated to a third party community fund that will distribute money to various organizations no matter where they are located.
Medical tribute: Memorial gifts that assist medical associations or groups working to find cures or offer treatments for diseases are quite popular. If a loved one passed away due to a specific illness, it is common to ask for donations to a specific organization that specializes in information and services pertaining to that illness. Many such groups have a “donate in memory” option on their websites. Oftentimes families are notified regarding who made memorial donations in their loved ones’ names, but the amount of the donation need not be revealed.
Personal intentions: Those who would like to make a donation but cannot think of a charity to associate with their deceased loved one have a host of options at their disposal. Consider donating to a school or library, requesting materials be purchased in the decedent’s name. Otherwise, donate to a general scholarship fund, possibly at the decedent’s alma mater.
Finish their work: If the decedent was engaged in a charitable project prior to their death, volunteer to help complete that project.
Giving back after the death of a loved one is a great way to keep the memory of that person alive.

HOW TO STAY MENTALLY SHARP AFTER RETIREMENT
Make exercise part of your retirement routine. A lack of structure may seem enticing to individuals who have spent decades working. However, many retirees find that little structure loses it appeal quickly after calling it quits.When creating a new routine in retirement, include regular exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies indicate that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. So daily exercise not only gives retirees something to do,but also benefits their brains.

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE
Use your network. The notion that “it’s not what you know, but who you know” has some truth to it. Successful jobseekers continually expand their professional contacts. This is achievedbygoingtoinformational interviews, attending trade association meetings and reviewing trade publications. Target people who work at the companies where you see yourself, so you can get the inside track about job openings.
DID YOU KNOW?
Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fooladvisethatfinanciallysolvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.
