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?

* Some adult details made it into the final cut of the PG-rated film “The Santa Clause.” In one scene, Tim Allen’s character jokes that his wife’s number is “1-800-SPANK ME.” It turned out, however, that was a real line that you could call and hear some naughty stuff -- as many overly curious children found out. The line was removed from future releases of the film.

Raking leaves may be an autumnal traditional for many homeowners, but those who want a less strenuous way to prevent their lawns from being suffocated by fallen leaves may want to consider mulching them. Fallen leaves should never be left to linger on a yard for very long, and some homeowners may be surprised to learnthatwaitingtorakeuntilallof the trees on a property have shed their leaves can be detrimental to the lawn. That’s because fallen leaves trap moisture and prevent sunlight and air from reaching the grass, making lawns more vulnerable to disease. Fallen leaves also can harbor insects, again putting lawns at risk of disease. Mulching may be the best option for homeowners who prefer to avoid spending several weekend afternoons each fall raking leaves. Many lawnmowers are now equipped with mulching capabilities, which can remove the need to rake. When leaves are mulched, they are minced into tiny pieces that are left behind on the lawn. Such pieces are so small that they won’t block air or light from reaching the grass, nor are they likely to harbor insects. But as these tiny pieces of leaves decompose, they enrich the soil with nutrients, so much so that some lawns may not even need to be fertilized in the fall.

Come autumn, many foods seem to take on a unique flavor exclusive to the season. That’s thanks to the ubiquitous “pumpkin spice,” which each fall is a specially featured ingredient in everything from cream cheese to marshmallows. Naturally, pumpkin spice is also a key ingredient when preparing pumpkin pie. But just what does pumpkin spice contain? Pumpkin spice is a combination of several different ground spices. It typically includes cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. It also may include allspice. Pumpkin spice is the name given to the blend in the United States. In the United Kingdom, pumpkin spice is known as “mixed spice,” which is a similar but not exact blend as that used to create pumpkin spice. Both feature cinnamon as the dominant flavor.

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT
Hormone therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances made by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream. Some hormones can cause certain cancers to grow. If tests show that the cancer cells have places where hormones can attach (receptors), drugs, surgery, or radiation therapy is used to reduce the production of hormones or block them from working. The hormone estrogen, which makes some breast cancers grow, is made mainly by the ovaries. Treatment to stop the ovaries from making estrogen is called ovarian ablation.
Hormone therapy with tamoxifen is often given to patients with early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery and those with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). Hormone therapy with tamoxifen or estrogens can act on cells all over the body and may increase the chance of developing endometrial cancer. Women taking tamoxifen should have a pelvic exam every year to look for any signs of cancer. Any vaginal bleeding, other than menstrual bleeding, should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.
Hormone therapy with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist is given to some premenopausal women who have just been diagnosed with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. LHRH agonists decrease the body’s estrogen and progesterone.
Hormone therapy with an aromatase inhibitor is given to some postmenopausal women who have hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the body’s estrogen by blocking an enzyme called aromatase from turning androgen into estrogen. Anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are types of aromatase inhibitors. For the treatment of early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery, certain aromatase inhibitors may be used as adjuvant therapy insteadoftamoxifenorafter2to3yearsoftamoxifenuse.Forthetreatment of metastatic breast cancer, aromatase inhibitors are being tested in clinical trials to compare them to hormone therapy with tamoxifen. Other types of hormone therapy include megestrol acetate or antiestrogen therapy such as fulvestrant.

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

Learn To Adjust YourBody to a New Sleeping Schedule
DEAR DR. ROACH: I just retired from working the graveyard shift for 40 years. I am hoping you can share some information on how to safely learn to sleep at night once again. -- E.H.
ANSWER: Changing your body’s circadian rhythm isn’t always easy, and after such a long time, it will take longer for you. But it shouldn’t be as difficult as you might fear. When people fly to the other part of the world, they need to get accustomed to a new sleep schedule, and it usually doesn’t take more than a week or two for them to get accustomed. For you, it will be difficult learning to be up during the day, which is more of a behavioral issue than a circadianrhythm issue.
The first advice I give is to push your internal time clock forward, not backward. Try to stay up two hours or so later each day until you get to a bedtime that works with your family (if appropriate) and goals. Your body has an easier time moving forward than backward.
Bright light can be your friend or your enemy. You want bright light when you wake up, not right before bed. Computers, phones and tablets all put out light that signals your brain to wake up, so don’t use these before bed. Making sure that your bedroom is dark when you want to sleep is something you probably have already done, but it’s still worth mentioning.
Caffeine is very helpful to a lot of people, so if you partake, do so when you awaken, not before bedtime. Some people metabolize caffeine slowly, so if you do, don’t have any caffeine for at least 8 hours before planning to go to sleep.
HOW TO DISCUSS A CANCER DIAGNOSIS WITH YOUR EMPLOYER
Be willing to accept help. It’s easy for cancer patients to feel like they’re suddenly seen as charity cases upon sharing their diagnosis with an employer and their colleagues. But offers to help come from a good place, and patients would likely offer to help if the shoe was on the other foot and a colleague revealed a cancer diagnosis. It’s alright to tell people willing to help that you’ll let them know if you need anything if and when a difficult situation arises. In the meantime, thank them for their kindness and prepare to lighten your professional load as treatment begins.
POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS FOR BREAST CANCER Retraction: Some women with breast cancer experience retraction, which occurs when the nipple turns inward.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer mainly occurs in middle-aged or older women.In fact,the median age at the time of a breast cancer diagnosis is 62.Though it’s possible for women far younger than 62 to be diagnosed with breast cancer, the ACS reports that only a very small number of women younger than 45 are diagnosed with the disease each year. Despite the average age of onset being over 60, breast cancer is highly treatable. The World Health Organization notes that breast cancer treatments routinely achieve survival probabilities of 90 percent or higher. However, those probabilities decline considerably in lower-income countries where access to screening and other medical services is limited. For example, the WHO notes that five-year survival rates for breast cancer routinely surpass 90 percent in high-income countries like the United States and Canada. However, those rates are as low as 40 percent in South Africa, where early detection of the disease is less likely than it is in wealthier nations.That disparity in survival rates underscores the need for greater resource allocation in lower-income countries, but also highlights the effectiveness of screening and other measures in high-income countries where women are taught to report any abnormalities with their breasts.

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

The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up. If it’s a mental break you need, get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.

• Early pregnancy: Estrogen levels are lower during pregnancy. Women who have a full-term pregnancy before age 20 have a lower risk of breast cancer than women who have not had children or who give birth to their first child after age 35.
