According to a 2011 study published in the peer-reviewed journal the Annual Review of Nutrition, experimental data from animal studies suggests that maternal undernutrition among pregnant women may play a role in preterm birth. The study also reported that a lack of specific nutrients during pregnancy may influence gestation length by increasing the likelihood that a woman will give birth before reaching full-term. Women who are pregnant or hope to become pregnant can speak with their physicians about the role nutrition can play in a healthy, full-term pregnancy.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE
Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.
MAKE AN OLDER HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT
While new homes are being built to be more energy efficient than ever before, thanks to a growing green building movement and increasingly strict building codes, the age of existing dwellings continues to present challenges. More than 40 percent of the housing stock in the United States was built before 1969 and simply wouldn’t stand up to today’s standards. Yet, much can be done to help homeowners improve their buildingenvelopetoreduceenergy use and increase efficiency. Improving your home’s energy efficiency can help save money, keep you more comfortable, reduce pollution, and prevent global warming.

Light: Homeowners with attics in their homes can inspect the ceilings inside the attic for signs of holes or leaks. Light peering through the top of the house indicates a hole or leak, as does stains or streaks on the ceiling.
Cost: Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourselfthantohiresomeoneelsetodoitforyou,butthat’snotnecessarily true of home improvement projects. Labor costs typically account for a substantial amount of professionally contracted projects, but homeowners can cut those costs by volunteering to do some of the simpler tasks themselves. In addition, contractors often purchase materials at a much lower cost than individual homeowners because contractors buy in bulk. So while labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings.

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.
CHOOSING AND APPLYING MULCH
Timing: The Morton Arboretum notes that mulch being applied as winter protection should not be applied too early in the fall, as doing so may delay the soil freezing process. Homeowners should wait until after a hard frost in the fall to apply winter mulch. In many places, hard frost will not appear until late fall.

HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install lowflow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in

The Agricultural Visionary Who Shaped Monroe County’s Fall Harvests:
James Wadsworth
BY KAYLEE DUDA
In the early 19th century, Monroe County was a region of burgeoning agricultural promise. Among the many influential figures who contributed to the county’s growth, one stands out for his lasting impact on farming practices and the fall harvest season: James Wadsworth. A landowner, agricultural innovator, andphilanthropist,Wadsworth’scontributionstoMonroeCounty’s farming community played a pivotal role in shaping the region’s agricultural landscape, particularly during the autumn months when the fruits of the year’s labor were gathered.
James Wadsworth was born in 1768 in Durham, Connecticut, but it was his move to the Genesee Valley, which includes parts of modern-day Monroe County, that solidified his place in history. Alongside his brother, William, Wadsworth acquired vast tracts of land in the Genesee Valley in the early 1790s. is area, known for its fertile soil, soon became a center of agricultural activity, and Wadsworth was at the forefront of its development.
Wadsworth was not content to simply manage his land holdings; he was deeply committed to improving agricultural practices. He was a staunch advocate for crop rotation, soil conservation, and other innovative farming techniques that were ahead of their time. His approach was particularly important in the fall, when the harvest was gathered, and the land needed to be prepared for the next planting season. Wadsworth emphasized the importance of maintaining soil fertility, understanding that the long-term productivity of the land depended on careful management.
One of Wadsworth’s most significant contributions was his promotion of wheat as a staple crop in the Genesee Valley. Wheat was ideally suited to the region’s climate and soil, and it became a major cash crop for local farmers. e fall season was crucial for wheat farming, as it was the time when the grain was harvested, threshed, and prepared for market. anks to Wadsworth’s influence, the Genesee Valley became known as the “Breadbasket of the Nation” during the 19th century. e success of the wheat harvests each fall was a testament to Wadsworth’s vision and leadership.
In addition to his agricultural innovations, Wadsworth was a key figure in the establishment of the Genesee Valley Agricultural Society, one of the first organizations of its kind in the region. Founded in the early 19th century, the society aimed to promote better farming methods and to encourage agricultural education among local farmers. One of the society’s most notable activities was organizing agricultural fairs, which became an annual autumn tradition in Monroe County. ese fairs showcased the season’s harvest and provided an opportunity for farmers to exchange ideas, learn new techniques, and celebrate
their successes.
Wadsworth’s influence extended beyond the fields. He was a passionate advocate for education and believed that a well-educated farming community was essential for the region’s prosperity. He established schoolsonhislandandprovidedfundingforeducationalinitiatives throughout the Genesee Valley. is commitment to education helped create a knowledgeable and skilled workforce that was able to implement the advanced farming techniques Wadsworth championed.
James Wadsworth’s legacy is still evident today. e agricultural practices he promoted laid the foundation for the region’s longstanding farming traditions, particularly those associated with the fall harvest. His emphasis on sustainable farming, crop diversity, and education helped ensure the land continues to yield abundant harvests for generations to come.
As the fall season arrives each year, it brings with it a reminder of Wadsworth’s enduring impact. e golden wheat fields, bustling farmers’ markets, and agricultural fairs that still occur are all part of a legacy that began with a man who saw potential in the land and dedicated his life to realizing it. James Wadsworth’s contributions to our agricultural history are a testament to the power of vision, innovation, and community spirit, qualities that continue to define the region’s fall harvests today.

HOW BUSINESSES CAN SUPPORT THEIR LOCAL LGBTQ+ COMMUNITIES
Reflect your support through your hiring practices. A diverse workforce benefits businesses and reinforces values like inclusivity. A recent analysis from the Harvard Business Review found a direct correlation between high cognitive diversity and high performance. So supporting the LGBTQ+ community through more diverse hiring practices not only benefits that community,but also helps business owners’ bottom lines.
Small businesses benefit one another, as a 2017 report from the Canadian firm FreshBooks found that 66 percent of small businesses outsource services to other small businesses.

How to Recognize Normal Versus High Blood Pressure
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been confused about what normal blood pressure is for me (or anyone). I know there is some debate on what normal is today, but let us say that normal is 120/80 mm Hg. Does this mean that 110/90 mm Hg, 130/70 mm Hg, or 150/50 mm Hg is also normal? Is there any significance of the ratio between systolic and diastolic blood pressure? -- L.P.
ANSWER: Because so many people have high blood pressure, and the consequences of untreated or poorly treated high blood pressure include a risk for heart attacks and strokes, it’s critically important to understand this thoroughly.
For a young, healthy person, the lower the blood pressure, the lower the risk of blood vessel damage that leads to these dreaded complications of heart attack and stroke. I routinely see people with blood pressures of 90/60 mm Hg who are just fine (although they are a bit more likely to faint).
But for middle-aged and older people, we define blood pressure as normal when the systolic (first or top number) pressure is less than 120 mm Hg and the diastolic (the second or bottom number) is less than 80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is when the systolic pressure is between 120-129 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg. It’s considered hypertension when the systolic number is 130 mm Hg or greater, or the diastolic number is 80 mm Hg or greater.
So, all of the readings you proposed are hypertension -not just elevated blood pressure.
Of course, the higher the reading (in general), the higher the risk of damage to the blood vessels and, after some years, the higher the risk of heart attacks or strokes. It’s not the ratio of the systolic and diastolic numbers that is of interest; it’s the difference between them (also called the pulse pressure). So, with the numbers you gave, the pulse pressures are 20, 60 and 100 mm Hg. Independent of blood pressure levels, a higher pulse pressure confers additional risk to the person, mostly because very stiff blood vessels cause a high pulse pressure. Different types of blood pressure medicines affect pulse pressure differently.
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.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, which is a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat during which the heart can beat too fast, too slow or with an irregular rhythm. Atrial fibrillation, or AF, occurs when rapid, disorganized electrical signals cause the atria, which consists of the heart’s two upper chambers, to contract very fast and irregularly. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, when a person is suffering from AF, blood begins to pool in his or her atria. While that blood pools in the atria, it is not being pumped completely into the heart’s two lower chambers, and this prevents the lower and upper chambers from working together effectively. Though AF does not always produce noticeable symptoms, some people with AF experience chest pain or heart failure, especially when the heart rhythm is rapid. AF can increase a person’s risk of stroke, and it may surface periodically or become an ongoing problem that lasts for years.

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.

Price things reasonably It’s tempting to overprice items, but a good rule of thumb is to mark things for one-half to one-third of the original value. Be open to negotiation, but try to haggle with a “buy one get one” approach, rather than marking down the price considerably. After all, the goal is to get rid of as many items as possible, with financial gain a distant second.

To the elderly man who verbally accosted me in the [local store] parking lot for leaving my shopping cart in a striped area in front of the handicapped space he was pulling into. I’ve read where handicapped people like the easier access to carts left there. Two older women were taking one of the carts left there to use. Think twice before berating someone you don’t know. I fell last year and tore my rotator cuff and then fell again last night in my basement and was in a lot of pain after shopping and loading my groceries into my trunk. I am eightyyears-old and a widow. What do you plan to do with the picture you took of my license plate?

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING
Consider relocating. The pandemic forced many companies to transition from in office working to remote working overnight.That trial by fire could have lasting results.A 2020 survey of 317 Chief Financial Officers and leaders in the finance industry found that 74 percent will move at least 5 percent of their previously on-site workforce to permanently remote positions after the pandemic ends. The survey, conducted by Gartner, Inc., also found that nearly one-quarter of respondents will move at least 20 percent of their onsite workers to permanently remote positions.That could make it possible for millions of working professionals to relocate to regions with a lower cost of living than their current towns or cities.

STEPS INVOLVED WITH ESTATE PLANNING
Medical directives. In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances. Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity.

Avon mourns the passing of a native son, at age 98
Edward “Ted” Coyne • 1926-2024
Avon lost a true native son in Edward “Ted” Coyne who passed away September 5th at 98 years old. It’s no exaggeration to say that Ted’s deeds and actions to benefit his hometown were perhaps the most consequential of any resident to call Avon their home since the Town was founded in 1807. While a student at Avon High School, he and his fellow classmates dedicated a monument on school grounds to honor those alumni killed in World War II. Ted organized this noble effort to honor those Avon Heroes, and today Avon continues this tradition during the annual Memorial Day commemorative services.
Ted Coyne was not a spectator, passively sitting on the sidelines. Instead, he was engaged and involved in many projects, causes, and efforts with the purpose of improving Avon. He was active in service to others, and the longevity of his service had no rival. He was the longest serving Volunteer Fireman in the 150+ year history of the Avon Fire Department. With the Avon Rotary, Ted’s 50+ years of distinguished “Service Above Self” was appropriately recognized by the organization’s highest honor, being named a Paul Harris Fellow. Ted gave his time and talent to his friends, his church, the Chamber of Commerce, Little League, numerous public works projects, public safety initiatives, and several community-led events, such as Kiddies Day, that makes Avon welcoming to all. He got involved not for recognition or to gain popularity, neither of which concerned him in the least. He got involved for a simple reason: to ensure things were done right, with time and resources prudently managed to an outcome benefiting everyone, and not just one constituency.
Ted’s deliberate prudence (some would say frugality or use even less flattering terms) was legendary, and very much appreciated by those benefiting from his service to public projects and community endeavors. His detractors would complain that he “was acting like he was spending his own money” on a project.
However, the opposite sentiment was held by the taxpayers and stakeholders (who were paying the
bills) who heard this critique and considered it the ultimate compliment, especially for a person entrusted with such responsibility. Although a lifelong Democrat, many Republicans observed that Ted was the most Conservative Democrat they had ever known when it came to spending public money.
Ted married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy Annis, and together they managed one of Avon’s longest, continuously operating businesses on Genesee Street, Coyne Econ-O-Wash. Ted purchased the laundromat, then headed for bankruptcy, and established it as a clean, bright place used by many at all hours of the day. He also was the founder of New Way Equipment Home and Pool Center in Avon, which continues under the management of his children and grandchildren.
Ted grew up in Avon in the 1930s, and was a major player in the growth and expansion of the town from the 1950s into the 21st century. He and Dorothy cared deeply for the health and vibrancy of their hometown, and their impact le an indelible mark on Avon’s history. Many of Ted and Dorothy’s friends understood just how committed they were to Avon, and these same friends quietly acknowledge just how fortunate Avon was to claim them as their own.
ank you, Ted, for all you did in a life of service!

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR PET
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve been trying to take a picture of my cat “Jess” all summer long. But every photo looks terrible. Do you have any tips for taking good pictures of pets? -- Taylor H., Taos, New Mexico
DEAR TAYLOR: Patience and practice are your best friends when trying to get a great shot of your pet. Cats aren’t known for their tolerance of sitting in one pose for very long (especially when you’re trying to force them into a pose), and even well-trained dogs can’t stay in place too long.
Study the techniques of good photography; you can look them up online. Composition is more important than the device you’re using -whether an expensive camera or your smartphone. Incorporate these guidelines into your pet photography:
• Opportunity: Rather than posing your pet, photograph them in their daily lives.
• Eye level: Position the camera lens at the same level as your pet’s eyes, rather than aiming down at them.
• Focus: Make sure your device has a sharp focus on the pet’s eyes. If the auto focus has trouble doing so, try angling slightly to one side so their snout isn’t in the way.
• Natural light: Turn off the auto flash and rely on natural light, like sunlight or a warmly lit room. is keeps pets relaxed and gives a nice glow to the image.
• Background: Pay attention to what’s behind your pet. An unscooped litter box behind Jess will really stand out when you’re reviewing the photos.
• Unusual angles: Play around with different angles and perspectives when photographing your pet. Many won’t work, but you might be surprised at the ones that look amazing. Most important, have fun!

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CAT REPRODUCTION
Cats can become pregnant even during the first estrus cycle. A feline’s pregnancy lasts around 63 to 65 days, or about nine weeks. A cat also can be impregnated again very quickly after giving birth, as nursing kittens will not prevent a subsequent pregnancy. The average litter size is three to six kittens, so it’s easy to see just how many kittens can be born of one cat if she’s left to her own reproductive devices. Females also can be mated by more than one male or even one of their male relatives.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
Emails: Emails are another significant distraction during a typical workday.To overcome the seemingly endless flood of emails coming from coworkers, friends and family during the day, professionals can work in offline mode for a predetermined period of time each day. This affords the opportunity to work on specific tasks or projects without being interrupted by emails.Emails will still accumulate while the computer is in offline mode, but professionals won’t be notified as each message is delivered and will be able to work distraction-free until they turn offline mode off.
