NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Using your fireplace? Try adding citrus peels to the logs for a nice aroma. They can be a good starter material as well.

* Those hide-a-key rocks can be a little obvious -- at least they are to me. I have a spare key hidden outside too, but I sealed mine in a plastic baggie and buried it in a spot known to our family members. Also, it’s not right by the door. -- I.E. in Mississippi

* When closing up our cabin for the season, we brought a box of mothballs and scattered them around the porch perimeter. This keeps the small animals like mice and skunks from setting up shop there while no one is around. -S.F. in Pennsylvania

* Now’s a great time to start weatherstripping! Check and recaulk windows. Caulk along baseboards to deter drafts. Add insulation to electrical outlets and under sinks around plumbing. Seal it up to stay toasty this winter.

* Remember to turn off bathroom fans after 10 minutes. In the winter, if your house is on the dry side, don’t use the fan at all: Open the door so the humidity from the shower or bath reaches into the house.

* “To remove the skin from salmon, I freeze it and skin it while frozen. The skin comes off much easier, and I waste less of the fish.

I buy a large piece and parcel it into several smaller pieces, since it’s just me. I like salmon, and it’s healthy for me!” -- L.A. in Florida

It’s fun to go apple-picking, and many people flock to orchards in September and October to pick their ownapples.

IS IT TIME TO UPDATE YOUR HOME’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM?

When it comes time to update the electrical system, it is always best to work with licensed and bonded electricians who have the expertise to work with electrical wiring without getting injured. This is not a do-ityourself type of job since it requires specialized training.

Electricians likely will recommend upgrading the electrical panel to bring more power from the utility poles into the home. This can include replacing the existing meter and circuit breaker box to allow it to handle more power or replacing items that are obsolete or dangerous.

BENEFITS OF HIRING PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS

Inspiration: One oft-overlooked benefit of working with professional contractors is the likelihood that they can draw up ideas for projects that homeowners might otherwise never have thought up on their own. Homeowners without specific ideas in mind can ask contractors to come up with various scenarios before committing to a particular one. Veteran contractors can draw on years of experience to create designs that DIYers might be incapable of coming up with and/or incapable of seeing through to completion.

The human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given to us by a bountiful Creator, and not until the shadows of death begin to gather around the object that we love, do we see its worth and beauty. Autumn is the dim shadow that clusters about the sweet, precious things that God has created in the realm of nature. While it robs them of life, it tears away the veil and reveals the golden gem of beauty and sweetness. Beauty lurks in all the dim old aisles of nature, and we discover it at last.

Hiring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape architects design spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs also are about functionality and meeting the needs of the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after considering what the homeowner wants to experience and how homeowners want to use a given space. Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other landscaping professionals to produce the final results.

Cutting Down on Scam Phone Calls

Welcome to the season of increased scam telemarketer phone calls, either political or holiday related.

e National Do Not Call Registry is a government program intended to block unwanted sales calls. It’s a free service, and all you have to do is sign up either on your phone or on the internet.

Call 888-382-1222 from the phone you want to block and follow the steps. Or go online to donotcall.gov and read the info. A word of warning: If you register your number online, you are also required to enter an email address. ey’ll send you a note asking you to click a link in that email to nish the registration to stop unwanted calls -- if they stop.

Blocking scammers on the registry doesn’t take care of the whole problem. e FAQ on the site says that certain types of calls are allowed: political, charitable, debt collection, informational and surveys. ink about the holes those leave.

I maintain that receiving a political call is still a sales call -- they’re trying to sell us on the idea of voting a certain way, and therefore political calls also should be blocked in the Do Not Call Registry. Surveys can be just as bad if the questions they ask are clearly skewed in one direction or another.

I see charitable calls as scams if they take your personal banking or credit-card information. Additionally, if you’ve ever done business with a company, they’re allowed to call you.

So, there are holes in the system. But you can take steps to stop at least some of the calls by registering with Do Not Call.

As an aside, I called the registry to verify that my phone is already listed. Yes, despite all the calls I get, it’s been listed as a do-not-call number since 2006.

Victor Farmington Library Unprecedented Book Sale Success at Eastview Mall

BY AMANDA DUDEK

For book lovers, there is almost nothing as exciting as a library book sale. e scent of paper and binding, the crackle of book covers, all those exciting titles…it is a reader’s wonderland. From ursday, October 13th – Sunday, October 16th, the Friends of the Victor Farmington Library held their biggest book sale yet. Held in the former Lane Bryant store in the Macy’s wing of Eastview Mall, the giant book sale was even more successful than anticipated.

Jessica Pritchard, Victor Farmington Library Development Manager, and Patty Bascomb, President of the Friends of the Victor Farmington Library (Friends), are pleased with the book sale’s success.

“We have been having Friends book sales since the 1990s, and years ago, they did take place in the mall,” shared Pritchard. “Holding the book sale at the library really takes up the library’s activity space for at least two weeks, so we reached out to Eastview Mall.”

Eastview Mall was only too happy to oblige. “ ey were fabulous and happy to have us,” said Pritchard. “ ey made the space available and helped to get it set up. ey were so happy to help and to be a part of the community in this way.”

e results were fantastic! “We started with about 5,000 books and sold about 3,000, which is an incredible number and a better ratio than we usually see,” shared Bascomb. e success of the event went beyond sold books, however.

“ e Friends support the library, the library community and programming. We hold the book sales to purchase useful products as well as to enhance and beautify the library inside and out. is book sale gave us a much larger audience all over Rochester, beyond those who are familiar with the Victor Farmington Library,” explained Bascomb. “ is allowed us to talk to people about all the activities we have, not just the books.”

“We have children’s, teens’, and adults’ programing, cra s, cooking, book clubs, Zumba,videogames, Mahjong, bridge, and more,” shared Pritchard. “Library guests can check out items like snowshoes, museum passes, ski poles, and more.”

e Friends of the Victor Farmington Library vote on how to best use the funds they raise, traditionally funding children’s and adults’ programing as well as purchasing equipment for the library.

“ e Friends have made a grant every year to our children’s programming budget and to our adults’ programming budget,” said Pritchard. “One year, we brought in a circus performer to do hula hooping and exercising with the kids. We would not have been able to do that without the Friends’ help. e Friends also purchase toys for the

children’s area and have donated a beautiful display case which is now showcasing a collection about caring for fall foliage and trees. If we had an area in dire need, the Friends would de nitely consider making that improvement.”

volunteers—including Friends’ volunteers—who did all the work behind the scenes and during the book sale, making this event possible. “We have revitalized the Friends group,” said Bascomb. “When we held our meeting in August, we had 30 people, several of whom were new. is has given us a great core of people with whom to move forward as a strong, local group like many other libraries have.” Bascomb invites those interested in joining the Friends of the Victor Farmington Library by lling out an application online (Individual membership: $12 and Family membership: $24).

“Many hands make merry and light work,” added Pritchard. “Under Patty’sleadership,Friendsmembershelpthelibraryandhaveapleasant, social experience at the same time. I am grateful to Patty for bringing that to the table.”

e Friends of the Victor Farmington Library encourages teenagers and young adults to get involved, as well. “One local sophomore gave countless hours to set up and help with this book sale,” said Pritchard. “We encourage people of all ages to join and bring their energy to our group.” e Friends hope to hold their next book sale in the spring.

e Friends of the Victor Farmington Library thank the many volunteers and donors who make this annual favorite possible!

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Are Dogs Growing More Anxious?

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My small mixed-breed dog, Tara, has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms. I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn't chew them bloody during these episodes. I hear from other friends that their dogs have anxiety issues as well. Is this problem on the rise? -- Sherri L., Kansas City, Mo.

DEAR SHERRI: Evidence isn't clear that anxiety in dogs is rising, but there is a rise in the understanding and diagnosis of anxiety in pets by veterinarians. is has led to an increase in diagnosis and treatment for pet anxiety.

While that is good for pets, there is no "magic bullet" to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder. Tara's vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine di erent ways to treat her.

Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of Tara's anxiety, and trigger points that set o her paw-chewing. understorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another.

ere are a number of di erent techniques, both training or interaction, to turn o those triggers. While there's not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement. Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues.

In evaluating such professionals, ask what therapies they use or are open to, and make sure they emphasize your role in working with Tara (owners have to put in the time with their dogs). Be circumspect about pet therapists who insist they have a single, one-sizets-all solution for anxiety.

Physician Revokes Driver’s License Without Explanation

DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife’s handicap parking placard expired, and she asked her primary care physician to fill out a renewal application. The new placard was received, followed by a letter from the DMV instructing my wife to return her license within 10 days because a medical professional had deemed it unsafe for her to drive. There was no discussion with my wife about driving.

My wife had a stroke about two years ago, but there are no obvious signs that she shouldn’t be driving outside of that. She recently had a Watchman device placed, but no one ever said she shouldn’t drive. My wife has had no symptoms since the surgery. She saw the cardiologist who performed the Watchman surgery, and he said she is doing well. She also saw her regular cardiologist, and he also said she is doing well. She saw both of these doctors after seeing the physician who notified the DMV that she should not drive. I have seen the after-visit notes of all the doctors my wife has seen in the last three months. All say that she is doing well. The doctor involved said, in her notes, “She is doing well, no concerns.” She has not had any device implanted to maintain rhythm. Was it unethical to not discuss revoking my wife’s license with her before doing it? -- Anon.

ANSWER: The Watchman device is placed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a rhythm disturbance of the heart. Its placement has no bearing on her driving, but AFib potentially does. AFib does predispose people to strokes and, occasionally, to a heart rate so fast that they can’t think properly. Conceivably, a person could have a stroke or a very fast heart rate while driving, but this is a very rare cause of motor-vehicle accidents. The most common medical cause for impairment while driving is epilepsy, which is a whole separate discussion.

There are international guidelines to help clinicians decide whether a person with a history of arrhythmia is safe to drive. In the case of atrial fibrillation, the guidelines are consistent that only if a person is having symptoms or is incapacitated should they stop driving, and they may resume once the symptoms or incapacity is better. From what you tell me, she had no reason for her driving to be restricted. Unless her primary care physician knows something that you haven’t told me, this decision was not supported by consensus guidelines.

Was the decision ethical? I don’t think so. An ethical decision is one that minimizes harm, both to your wife and to the community. Your wife has been harmed, and I don’t think the community is safer because she can’t drive. I don’t think she was treated fairly. Lack of truth-telling undermines trust, which is essential for ethical patient care.

It is possible that the decision to restrict her driving privileges was done in error, either by her physician or by the DMV. I do feel strongly that her physician should have told her that her driving privileges would be restricted: This would have allowed for some discussion, perhaps with her cardiologists, and would remove the question of whether there was an error.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

TECH TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses. While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for the ride. Drivers about to embark on a road trip, whether it’s their first such venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

The many benefits of automotive roof racks

Today’s auto manufacturers understand that maximized cargo space is a feature many buyers want in their new vehicles. But even the most spacious car or SUV may not always provide the right amount of space drivers need to haul large items. In such instances, roof racks are an asset, especially to avid travelers or outdoor enthusiasts.

Roof racks benefit travelers and everyday motorists in numerous ways. Racks make it easy to transport cargo that does not fit the shape or size of a car trunk or cargo area of an SUV. Also, roof racks enable drivers to free up interior spaceandkeepsight lines open,contributingtodriver safety. By boosting a vehicle’s storage space, roof racks essentially transform the top of a car or truck into a second trunk.Moving items up and outside of the car can free up additional legroom and give passengers greater comfort on longer trips. Plus, roof racks provide a sturdysurface on which to store kayaks, mountain bikes, furniture, surfboards, and morewithout damaging the paint and finishof thevehicle.

Roof racks are sold in a variety of styles and applications. Roof boxes and bags also can be purchased, if you have items that need to be protected from the elements. Many auto manufacturers offer roof racks as an option on new vehicles, or they can be installed after-market byaqualifiedprofessional.

When purchasing roof racks, drivers should consider their needs and the size of the items they’remost likelytostore.

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, with the November air for canvas?

~Henry David Thoreau, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1842 March 11th

I step outside and the chilly air tightens the skin on my bare arms. Summer has ended all too quickly, and some of the leaves on the trees have already started to burn with the colors of fall. Fall colors.... so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.

How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase first, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.

October is Anti-Bullying Month

Parents go to great lengths to protect their children.

Keeping a watchful eye is a great way to protect kids when they're around the house, but parents may need to look for more subtle signs to determine if their children are being mistreated when they leave home.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that roughly 20 percent of students between the ages of 12 and 18 experience bullying nationwide. Parents might once have written off bullying as part of growing up, but research has long since indicated that bullying can be very harmful to youngsters. The DHHS notes that research indicates that persistent bullying can lead to or exacerbate feelings of isolation, rejection, exclusion, and despair. Children who are persistently bullied also may experience new or worsening feelings of anxiety and depression.

Parents can play a vital role in preventing bullying. Much of that role involves parents educating themselves about bullying, including what it is and what it's not and what are some warning signs that a child is involved in bullying.

What is bullying?

The DHHS website Stopbullying.gov defines bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Bullying behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. The imbalance of power associated with bullying involves the children who bully using some semblance of power they have over the children they're bullying to harm or control those youngsters. Their power may be physical strength, access to embarrassing information or popularity.

What isn't bullying?

Various types of aggressive behavior have the potential to be harmful, but they do not fall under the umbrella of bullying. For example, Stopbullying.gov notes that children between the ages of three and five are learning how to coexist with one another, including how to share and cooperate. Children in these age groups may be aggressive if they don't get what they want, but their actions in such instances do not constitute bullying. More information about potentially harmful, non-bullying behaviors is available at Stopbullying.gov.

Educate Yourself and Your Children

What are some signs a child is being bullied?

The DHHS notes that not all children who are being bullied exhibit warning signs. In addition, some signs might be more subtle than others. But some potential indicators that a child is being bullied include:

• Unexplainable injuries

• Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry

• Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness

• Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. For example, children who are being bullied may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.

• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares

• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school

• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations

• Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem

• Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide

What are some signs a child is bullying other children?

Parents also should be on the lookout for signs their children are bullying other youngsters. Such signs include:

• Kids get into physical or verbal altercations

• Children have friends who bully others

• Increasingly aggressive behavior

• Frequent trips to the principal's office or to detention

• Kids have extra money or new belongings but cannot explain how they got the cash or items

• Kids blame others for their problems

• An unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions

• Kids are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity

Parents have a vital role to play in preventing bullying so all youngsters feel safe and sound inside and outside of school.

Another Good Samaritan

While on my daily walk in Henrietta on September 13th, I suddenly felt something was wrong and woke up a few moments later, laying in a very wet and muddy ditch! Apparently, I had momentarily lost consciousness. A nice lady in a white car saw it happen and stopped to help me, and she even took me home. Thank you, Good Samaritan, whoever you were! (By the way, the same thing happened a few days later, so I now have a new pacemaker to prevent any more episodes like that.)

Just like new at 16 years!

Many thanks to the Penfield Delta Sonic staff! They detailed my car to a very high standard of excellence. They all worked very hard, and it showed! I cannot say enough about their professionalism and friendliness. My CRV is once again clean, shiny, and fragrant! Again, a great big thank you! Keep up the good work! - JMD

A Ride Home

On Oct 12th at around 5pm, an angel stopped on Route 33 to give me and my son a ride home. Our ride was canceled, and my phone was dead, so I had no way of communicating with anyone. Not that we had anyone to call since we just moved here and don’t know anyone in town. She was kind enough to take us even as three troopers drove by and looked at me like I was crazy. We are forever grateful. May God bless you a million times. Please continue to be a great soul. Thank you! -Debbie

Now hiring...sort of!

Now Hiring! You see the signs everywhere today, but tomorrow, they may be gone. Not because the positions are full, but because the position no longer exists because the business is no more. There is no reason that someone who wants a job may not have one right now.

Running Stop Signs

You may not value your life or care to be around for your family, but I do, both yours and mine! I don’t understand. It only takes a few seconds to come to stop at the stop sign. I’m traveling 30-55mph. I am less than 3-4 car lengths from the intersection. You run the stop sign. I don’t want to hit you, and I’ll do everything in my power to stop my car, but you’ve got to try harder to drive defensively and understand what a stop sign means.

Not all disabilities are visible!

Last week, someone ranted about young or (seemingly) able-bodied persons hopping out of cars in spaces for disabled persons. He or she doesn’t mention whether or not the cars have tags or plates entitling them to park there. Many disabilities are not visible to others but exist nonetheless (recent surgery, COPD, back braces, brittle bone disease, etc.) If someone has a tag or plate, they have documented a disability with the DMV and do not need to look elderly to you!

RANTS

Follow along all 4 weeks in October as we spread awareness about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, recovery and life after breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness SERIES Sponsored By:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

FAQ

What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?

Asparagine is found in foods like asparagus, whole grains, soy, seafood, eggs, poultry, beef, legumes, and more. While reducing asparagine will not a ect the original breast cancer tumor, it could stop cancer from showing up elsewhere in the body. Researchers suspect that many women with breast cancer do not lose their lives to the original breast cancer tumor, but instead they succumb to metastases or subsequent growths away from the primary site.

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.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB

Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family. Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasn’t. Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Meditate. When stressed out, men and women should not discount the potential benefits of meditation. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University examined more than 19,000 meditation studies, ultimately concluding that mindful meditation can ease stresses like anxiety, depression and pain. The APA notes that such meditation has been found to reap immediate benefits, potentially helping people who can find time to meditate during the day to prevent their stress from accumulating throughout a hectic workday.
