an
Updating 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-it-yourself 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.
Many older homes are only capable of handling a minimum number of amps, utilizing just a few circuits. But nowadays, when homeowners have far more electronics in their homes than they once did, increased demand on electricity can overload a circuit. Tripping a circuit breaker is a safety measure to prevent the wire from becoming overheated and causing a fire. However, in some old systems, the circuit breaker will not trip, and this can be problematic.
Rewiring a home is another step. Wire insulation can deteriorate over time, and new wires may be needed. This can be messy and time-consuming, but it’s a small price to pay for safety. When rewiring an electrician also may suggest new outlets. Many home building codes now require outlets with ground fault interruptors, or GFIs, in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms exposed to moisture. Some older homes may not even have three-pronged outlets, so this will necessitate an update as well.

They munch on leaves and twigs.
Sloths can swim three times faster than they can walk on land.
Their ability to slow their heart rates to one-third its normal rate, gives them the ability to hold their breath for a whopping 40 minutes underwater.
Sloths are good pets.
They can live anywhere between 10 and 30 years!
It is hard for sloths to camouflage in the trees.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat Isaiah o en gets eas in the late spring through summer, but by September the eas are usually gone. is year, he still has eas, even as we get into the chillier October month. What can I do to drive the eas out? -- Maddy in Biddeford, Maine
DEAR MADDY: While ea activity tends to drop during the colder months, chillier weather isn’t a guarantee that they’ll go away. A number of factors could keep them around, conceivably, all year. ings like a constantly warm environment in which to live (your house) or a higher than usual ea population (this can vary from year to year).
To really get rid of Isaiah’s eas, you’ll need to treat him and tackle possible ea problems inside the house.
Treat Isaiah with a ea treatment, available at the pet store or from the vet. Perfumed soaps aren’t good alternatives; they can dry and irritate his skin.
Wash or replace Isaiah’s bedding, and wash any furniture upholstery, blankets or other items where he likes to lounge for long periods.
Treat the carpet with a ea preventative, available at the pet store or online. Put Isaiah into a safe room and sprinkle the treatment into the carpet as directed, then vacuum it up. e treatment will take care of any live eas or eggs hiding in the carpet.
If your cat spends time outdoors, consider making him an indoor cat. is will reduce the chance of him contracting eas outside and bringing them into the house.

THE IMPACT
REVIEWS HAVE ON BUSINESSES.
Search Engine Land, which covers digital advertising technology, reports 88 percent of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Unfortunately for businesses, Inc. magazine and entrepreneur Andrew Thomas found that a customer who has a negative business experience is highly likely to share that experience by leaving a bad review. On the other hand, someone who has had a positive experience is unlikely to leave a good review. Roughly 10 percent of happy customers say they were pleased by a product or service. Furthermore, Thomas indicates it takes roughly 40 positive customer experiences to undo the damage from a single negative review.
Customer happiness should be the goal of businesses, with the added benefit of helping to generate more positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations. While that is happening, customers can think twice about online reviews.
Speak to product quality, especially when you have a very good experience with an item. Many retailers request feedback via email. Take advantage of this opportunity to o er positive feedback.
Companies gather personal information from customers so they can follow up in many cases. Great customer service helps prevent bad reviews and defines companies’ brands. If you are asked for a phone number or email address, provide it. Doing so helps companies improve their products or services.
Happy customers can reach out to friends and family members to share their experiences with certain companies. Posting your own review on social media also can drum up business for a company you respect.
Customers should weigh their words heavily and think before posting a review. The marketing and consulting resource The Chat Shop says 31 percent of customers are interested in grocery store reviews, 60 percent are likely to read restaurant reviews and 70 percent rely on technology product reviews. Make an e ort to discuss issues with a company before leaving a negative review. You may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. There’s no need to hesitate when leaving positive reviews. Simply explain why you were pleased.
Reviews can make or break a company. Both business owners and customers have a role to play in making online reviews a valuable way to learn about a company.
Popular Naples Grape Festival Adds Even More to Love!
BY JODI CARUSOThe Naples Grape Festival is known all over New York State!
Folks come to sample Grape Pie, take in the autumn foliage, sample fresh grape juice, visit a winery, listen to a plethora of musicians, and shop for those unique arts & cra s found only at such festivals.
In late 2021 e Naples Grape & Arts Festival LLC conducted a survey to determine how to best maximize the guest experience of the thousands of visitors to the Naples Grape Festival. Along with helping shape the 2022 Festival, this survey also highlighted that local residents really were nostalgic for the long-ago events that many Neapolitans enjoyed in the earlier days of the Festival. With an enthusiasticteamofvolunteers,theNaplesGrapeFestivalCommunity Events were created and took place this past September, drawing on a rich past and o ering the most memorable hometown events!
e rst Naples Grape Festival was described as an agricultural fair dating back to 1874. Grapes were rst grown in Naples in 1848, and the rst wine cellar in Naples was established in 1854. In the 1940s, the Naples Grape Festival fell victim to World War II as did the area’s overall grape production. In 1961, the Naples Grape Festival (NGF) was reintroduced and operated by the Naples Historical Society, drawing nearly 5,000 people.
By 1964, the Naples Grape Festival drew crowds of 60,000 people including famous visitors such as Paul Harvey and Robert Kennedy. However, it was canceled in 1971 due to unruly crowds. In 1989, Bob and Bill Vierhile recreated the NGF and operated a two-day event featuring arts, cra s, music, and a grape pie contest. e Naples Grape Festival bene ted the Naples community by giving to two vital organizations: e Naples Historical Society and the Naples Rotary Club. In 2009, a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) was established, identifying e Naples Grape and Arts Festival to be owned solely by the Naples Rotary Club, which has been in force ever since.
e Naples Grape Festival 2022 was once again a celebration of the grape harvest and the rich history of the Naples Community. e focus was on bringing friends and families together. On Friday, September 16th the Naples Grape FestivalCommunityEventskickedo withaFireworksExtravaganza in the front yard of Hazlitt’s Winery. It was an amazing show with hundreds of spectators. On Saturday morning, the Naples Grape Festival Parade was hosted by the newly crowned King and Queen of the Grape Festival, Mike and Sherie Heins, who marched down Main St. with oats from local businesses. e Naples Central School
Marching Band, the mayor and town supervisor, cub scouts, the local re department and others participated in the parade, as well!
If a parade wasn’t enough, that evening Main Street shut down again for a Street Dance! e dance took place in the heart of the village with Rick Constantino opening up for the Stid Hill Stompers. Hundredsoffamiliesenjoyedmusicinthevillage,localfood,vendors, sidewalk chalk, dancing in the street, and just being together. On Sunday morning, the Community Events continued with a Home Winemaker’s Competition hosted by Engine 14, followed by a Chili Cook-O .
en to nish, the Community Events kicked o the rst annual “Boots & Blue Jeans” Grape Country Gala held at the Parish Hill Event Barn. e event was a Texas BBQ by none other than Naples Grove Boys BBQ and Catering. e Gala was a sold-out event and served as a fundraiser to help raise seed money for next year’s community events.
eentirevillageandtownenjoyedlivemusic,artsales,foodspecials, and, of course, Grape Pie all throughout the entire week! e focus of the 2022 Grape Festival was bringing friends and families together, and we did just that!

What kept Jesus on that old rugged Cross?
Was it the nails piercing His hands and feet? Jesus said to Peter in Matthew 26:53 “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” Things working to keep Him down were: a Kiss of Betrayal, all fled with fear, soldiers mocked and played with Him, the crowd jeered and taunted Him, women shook their heads in disgust, the whipping, the spitting, the crown of thorns, pain and agony, the wounds, long journey to Calvary, were not enough to stop Him.Things to keep Him there: He thought of you perishing without Hope, you missing the place He prepared for you, your absence from Him. HOW CAN WE FORSAKE HIM AND HIS LOVE?

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SENIORS
Hiking: Hiking provides a great workout and an ideal opportunity to spend time in an idyllic setting. The U.S. National Park Service notes that hiking helps individuals build stronger muscles and bones, improves their sense of balance, has a positive effect on heart health, and can decrease the risk of certain respiratory problems. Hiking is an especially attractive outdoor activity for seniors, as many parks feature trails with varying degrees of difficulty, ensuring there’s a trail for seniors whether they’re seasoned or novice
Puzzle Answers This Week
FIRST
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.Praluent Injections Significantly Decrease LDL Level
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year-old male who was diagnosed about 15 years ago with mild coronary artery disease, with some blockages in my peripheral arteries. I was taking the maximum recommended dosage of pravastatin to maintain a low cholesterol, but I experienced complete ruptures of both Achilles tendons. These incidences occurred five years apart, but after the second rupture, my doctor discontinued the pravastatin. I then started Praluent injections twice a month to control my cholesterol, which has been incredibly effective -- maybe even too effective -- and is the purpose of my writing to you. With Praluent injections, my LDL level is about 26, and my HDL is 100. When my primary doctor’s assistant recently called to inform me of my bloodwork results, she said she has never seen anyone with such a low LDL level -- and she sees a lot of bloodwork! My primary care doctor doesn’t like it that low, but two different cardiologists I have seen think that the lower it is, the better. What do you think? -- J.W.
ANSWER: The first issue is whether statins increase the risk of an Achilles tendon rupture, and I can’t answer that with certainty, because there is some evidence it does. (Some studies have reported anywhere from an 80% relative risk increase to triple the risk, but the risk is still very, very low. Even if they triple the risk, the risk would be only three people per 10,000.) The studies that have shown there is risk suggest that the risk is only in the first year of taking statins, but other studies have shown no risk at all from statins.
The second issue is your very low LDL level, and the data for LDL levels is firmly on the side of the cardiologists you spoke with. The lower the LDL, the lower the risk of heart disease, and levels under 30 are not at all unusual in a person taking alirocumab (Praluent) or the other drug in that class (called PCSK9 inhibitors), evolocumab (Repatha). Your doctor’s assistant will likely be seeing more people with LDL levels like yours. Do remember that a healthy, mostly plant-based diet and regular exercise still have benefits in people with LDL levels as low as yours -- and not just in heart disease, but in reducing cancer risk, too.

November
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.
FAQWhat 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.
Women have some control in regard to their risk for breast cancer
No one, regardless of their age, occupation, skin color, or socioeconomic status, is immune to cancer. In fact, individuals might be hard pressed to say no one in their family and/or circle of friends has been diagnosed with cancer at some point. According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 18.1 million new cancer cases across the globe in 2018. Among women, when excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, no cancer was more prevalent globally than breast cancer. e World Cancer Research Fund reports that, in 2018, breast cancer accounted for 25.4 percent of all new cancer diagnoses in women. at gure is nearly three times as high as the percentage of cases of colorectal cancer, which accounted for the second most new cancer cases diagnosed in women in 2018.
It’s understandable to be fearful of such gures, which can make a breast cancer diagnosis seem almost inevitable. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that not all risk factors for breast cancer are set in stone. ough age and family history, two known risk factors for breast cancer, may be beyond a woman’s control, she still can exercise some control over other risk factors.
Physical activity e CDC notes that women who are not physically active have a higher risk of getting breast cancer than those who are. e O ce on Women’s Health, a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, notes that women should get two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity every week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week. is should be accompanied by muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days each week. Carrying around extra weight can make moving around more di cult, so the O ce on Women’s Health urges larger women to start slowly if it’s been awhile since they exercised. In addition, aging women can speak with their physicians for advice about exercise regimens they should or need not avoid.
replacement therapies that include both estrogen and progesterone taken during menopause can increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer when taken for more than ve years. In addition, the CDC reports that oral contraceptives, such as birth control pills, have been linked to a higher risk for breast cancer. Women can speak with their physicians about how to control hormone-related risk factors for breast cancer.
Alcohol consumption Studies have found that the more alcohol a woman consumes, the greater her risk for breast cancer becomes.
Smoking, exposure to chemicals that have been found to cause cancer and changes in hormones related to working night shi s are some additional risk factors for breast cancer that women may be able to control.
Breast cancer a ects millions of women across the globe each year. ough that may instill a feeling of helplessness, women should know that many risk factors for breast cancer are within their control.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda CharlesDo I Need a New Coat is Year?

Gloves: I’ve discovered that my insulated gloves that have kept my hands warm for years now have worn through the seam on the thumb, creating a 1-inch hole and letting in very cold air. I discovered how that happened: It’s from holding the steering wheel in the car. I’ll be pulling out my needle and thread to make that repair.
Hat, scarf, boots: check.
Winter coat with hood: And this is where making a major purchase is i y. Do I need a new winter coat this year ... or not?
And the answer is no. ree winters into Covid, it’s still out there. Despite the new omicron booster, there are experts who say we’ll have another Covid surge this winter with rising cases and hospitalization numbers, mostly due to human behavior and dwindling interest in getting a booster.
So no ... once again, I don’t need a new winter coat. I still won’t be going out as much as I used to long ago.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
RAVES
Thanks to the Good Samaritan!
Last Friday I was walking to my car in a suburban store parking lot. Unbeknownst to me, I was followed from the store by someone. I was warned of this by a kind young lady who noticed this person following me and pulled her van alongside me until I got in my car safely. Thank you for taking time from your busy day to help a stranger.
Sincere Thanks
My sincere thank you to the lovely couple who sat behind me at the Batavia Town and Country Restaurant early in September. I found when I went to pay for my dinner that it had been paid for by these nice people. What a wonderful surprise and gift! Thank you and blessings to you.
Sports Fans
I love football. I'm all for supporting a team, the excitement, etc. However, when there's a very late game on a night when people have to work the next day and you're just getting back at 1am with a bus full of people on a quiet residential street, have some consideration about waking your neighbors up with beeping your horn and yelling just because your team won.
Please use your lights!
Do people know that when it’s raining and your headlights are not on, it’s difficult to see you! It’s the law: if wipers are being used, headlights are supposed to be on. It’s not that hard to flip a switch.
You'll never guess!
We live in a village home in and among many other homes on a well-traveled street. Occasionally, my wife and I have things we no longer use. These items are too good to simply discard, so we put them in front of our home with a painted, wooden sign stating "Free Stuff" attached to the nearby tree. We are happy that people find uses for these items. We are not happy when they also take our painted signs which are securely nailed or bungeed to the tree. Why would anyone do that? Maybe I'm too literal. Maybe I should keep it simple and discard this stuff. Otherwise, along with the signs, someday I'll hear a chainsaw cutting down the tree, as well. Wow, this country is in serious trouble.
Handicap Parking
The abuse of the handicap parking system is beyond the pale! The number of people pulling into a handicap spot, hopping out of their vehicle and fast walking into a building or then upstairs is wrong. Sometimes, that sort of person hops out of their car with a nametag on, showing they're working. Most of these people are not elderly. Then, an elderly person with a cane or someone who has difficulty walking must walk an extreme distance because there's no close handicap spot for them. It's selfish and greedy. These people know they don't need that spot. You know who
are.

Finding the right family car
: Family cars are rarely limited to getting mom or dad to and from work and for trips to the grocery store. Today’s kids are more active than ever before, and chances are their schedules are as packed as their parents’. Consider the many chauffeuring trips you will have to make in the years to come, and choose a car that is equipped to handle those trips. Parents who double as soccer coaches may benefit from buying minivans that can easily store all that sports equipment, while those whose children participate in activities that take them far and wide may want a car that’s especially fuel efficient.
Penny
Before Passion came to her foster mom, she was used for breeding, amongst other things, and thrown out on the street to be found in very rough shape. Despite everything she has been through, she is the most loving, gentle, playful and sweet girl! She now lives a life of happiness and comfort with her two new brothers who are also rescues. She will only know love for the rest of her life!

THE RIGHT WAYS TO UPDATE A RÉSUMÉ
The job market can be competitive, as new graduates flood the field each and every year. But graduation season is not the only time of year when the competition to find work gets heated.
The start of the new year tends to be one of the busiest times of year for new hires. According to the employment resource Simply Hired, the first Monday after New Year’s Day tends to be the busiest day for job search activity. Companies are returning to full production after the holidays, and as a result there is a flurry of new activity. This means applicants can use the last quarter of the year to prepare for job searches they will institute once the calendar turns. Many job seekers may benefit from revamping their résumés before beginning their search. It’s not uncommon for recruiters to receive thousands of résumés for each job opening they post, and the sheer volume of applicants can make it difficult for job seekers to get their résumés seen. In such instances, job seekers must take steps to tip the odds in their favor.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Set reasonable goals. Much of the difficulty men and women experience in regard to finding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commitments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for projects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should discuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home, parents should avoid taking on too many projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families.

TAKE A CUE FROM SUCCESSFUL WOMEN
Make time for exercise. A sluggish body can make for a sluggish mind. Successful people need to be sharp, and exercise can help them maintain their mental focus. According to John J. Ratey, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, muscles send hormones rushing to the brain where they mix with a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. BDNF plays a role in brain cell growth and learning. Without it, brains can’t absorb new information or grow and learn. Exercise also helps relieve stress, which can make resolutions easier to see and make tasks less overwhelming.

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE
Squeeze in a midday workout. Numerous studies have shown the many benefits to daily exercise, but professionals may not know that exercise can help improve their productivity at the office. A 2005 study from researchers at the then-named Leeds Metropolitan University in England asked 200 workers to answer questions regarding their productivity on days when they exercised at lunchtime and days when they did not exercise. Sixty percent said their job performance, including their ability to meet deadlines and manage their time, improved by a considerable amount on the days when they exercised.

* “Baby lotion is great to have around on Halloween, because it can be used to remove face paint. Masks can restrict children’s vision when trick-or-treating, so face paint is a better way to go. Use a washcloth and baby lotion to get that paint off quick.” -- A.V. in Oregon
* Choose a battery-powered candle for your carved jack-o’-lanterns. You can leave it on longer, even when you aren’t home. And it’s much safer than a true flame.
* “Give any costume that your kid wants to wear for Halloween the ‘dance test.’ Have him or her put on the costume and dance around. If the child is tripping over the hems or the accessories are cumbersome, a change is in order.” -- M. in Michigan
