Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

Fair Housing Statement

POTENTIAL INDICATORS OF ROOF TROUBLE

Moss on a rooftop may give a home character, but that added character is costly. Shady areas of a roof can be susceptible to the growth of moss and fungi because moisture can be trapped in such areas. If possible, remove moss or fungi from a roof with a stiff brush or hire a professional to do the job instead. Moss may come back even after brushing it off, so homeowners should keep an eye on areas of their roofs that get little sunlight. In addition, trapped moisture can be very harmful to a roof, so it may be wise to exercise caution and have roofs with mold or fungi growths inspected.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Do I Need a New Coat is Year?

With cold weather here, we’re all trying to nd ways to stay warm both indoors and when we go out. Are you set up for winter? is is the time to be sure.

Here is what I’ve done so far this year. Slippers that you wear around the house: Have yours stretched out over the years? Is there any chance you could walk right out of them? is might be the year you need to invest in new indoor footwear for safety. Slippers are jotted down on my own list because yes, I do need new ones, and I’m going for slippers with a solid bottom.

Indoor vest: I’ve had one for years that adds a layer of warmth when the house is a bit chilly when worn over a sweatshirt or a long sleeve wa e shirt. It’s still ne.

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.

According to the Lupus Foundation of America, 90 percent of people living with lupus are women. Most women who develop lupus do so between the ages of 15 and 44. Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means that it causes the immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues by mistake. The LFA reports that one-third of lupus patients suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.

* On Oct. 17, 1906, Wilhelm Voigt, a German shoemaker wearing a stolen captain’s uniform, impersonates an army officer and leads an entire squad of soldiers to help him steal 4,000 marks from the mayor’s office cash box, exploiting their blind obedience to authority. The Kaiser thought the story was funny; the German army did not.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

* World War II German interrogator Hanns Scharff’s unusual techniques for extracting information -- which included sharing his wife’s homemade baked goods, cracking jokes, unsupervised nature walks and afternoon tea -- were so successful that the U.S. military later incorporated them into their own interrogation schools.

The two major types are the four-toed and five-toed sloths.

Their closest relatives are anteaters and armadillos.

Sloths spend their lives in the mountains.

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.

Although sloths have peaceful demeanors, wild sloths can be aggressive and bite very hard.

Popular Naples Grape Festival Adds Even More to Love!

BY JODI CARUSO

The 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! Stay tuned for next year’s free community events in Naples, NY! For more information and to check out pictures and history please visit naplesgrapefest.org. e Naples Grape Festival

Community Events would like to thank all of the sponsors, donors, and volunteers that helped bring these events to fruition. Without you, it wouldn’t be possible.

Fall Flea Season

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

DID YOU KNOW?

Before saying “so long” to yard work at the end of autumn, homeowners should remove thatch from their lawns. Thatch is dead grass that’s often identifiable by its yellowish tint, and this dead grass, if left to loom in the lawn over the winter, can block air and moisture from making its way into the soil. That can make it difficult for a lawn to recover come the spring and may even cost homeowners a substantial amount of money to address when winter finally skips town. When removing thatch, resist the temptation to rake with lots of physical force,as raking too hard can harm the lawn. Instead, commit to three or four easy passes with the rake, as this will collect the thatch without damaging the lawn. Many people rent a dethatcher from a nearby lawn and garden supply store,and such a device can make the process of removing thatch much easier.

However, be sure to clean the machine before using it on your lawn, as there is no way of telling what condition the previous renter’s lawn was in when heor she used the device. Failing to clean the dethatcher can spread disease from a previous renter’s lawn onto your own, and that can proveanother costlymistakecome the spring when your lawn is looking to rebound. If seeding the lawn in early fall, which can be a great time to reseed, remove the thatch before laying down any new seed. If you wait to remove thatch until after you have laid down new seed, then the lawn likely won’t benefit from the seed and you will likely just rake the new seed away when it comes

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.

PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER

As the seasons change, motorists must take steps to safeguard their vehicles, especially when the season changes from fall to winter. Each winter, many vehicles are subjected to sub-zero temperatures, snowfall and icy roads, and such conditions can take their toll on vehicles over time. Taking steps to prepare vehicles for winter weather is a vital step that can make cars and trucks safer for drivers and their passengers.

the town.

With a greater number of people sharing rides and interacting with strangers than ever before, safety while ridesharing is an issue to take seriously. While ridesharing trips often occur without incident, there have been some instances of violent altercations involving drivers and passengers. According to the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association, ridesharing companies use a background check service to confirm criminal convictions and to make sure drivers are legally able to drive. However, these services may not perform FBI fingerprinting checks conductedbylawenforcementofficials,whereastaxidriversaresubjected fingerprinting. So some ridesharing drivers who have committed crimes in the past but have never been caught may pass ridesharing background checks, but they might not pass tests that taxi companies would insist they submit to, such as fingerprinting tests.

While ridesharing, whether it entails carpooling or using an established ridesharing service, can be convenient, passengers must take steps to ensure their own safety when sharing rides.

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.

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.

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.

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

Most patients with breast cancer have surgery to remove the cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy is the removal of the sentinel lymph node during surgery. The sentinel lymph node is the first lymph node to receive lymphatic drainage from a tumor. It is the first lymph node where the cancer is likely to spread. A radioactive substance and/or blue dye is injected near the tumor. The substance or dye flows through the lymph ducts to the lymph nodes. The first lymph node to receive the substance or dye is removed. A pathologist views the tissue under a microscope to look for cancer cells. After the sentinel lymph node biopsy, the surgeon removes the tumor using breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. If cancer cells were not found in the sentinel lymph node, it may not be necessary to remove more lymph nodes. If cancer cells were found, more lymph nodes will be removed through a separate incision. This is called a lymph node dissection.

Types of surgery include the following:

• Breast-conserving surgery is an operation to remove the cancer and some normal tissue around it, but not the breast itself. Part of the chest wall lining may also be removed if the cancer is near it. This type of surgery may also be called lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, segmental mastectomy, quadrantectomy, or breast-sparing surgery.

• Total mastectomy: Surgery to remove the whole breast that has cancer. This procedure is also called a simple mastectomy. Some of the lymph nodes under the arm may be removed and checked for cancer. This may be done at the same time as the breast surgery or after. This is done through a separate incision.

• Modified radical mastectomy: Surgery to remove the whole breast that has cancer, many of the lymph nodes under the arm, the lining over the chest muscles, and sometimes, part of the chest wall muscles.

Chemotherapy may be given before surgery to remove the tumor. When given before surgery, chemotherapy will shrink the tumor and reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. Treatment given before surgery is called preoperative therapy or neoadjuvant therapy.

Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy after surgery, to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after the surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called postoperative therapy or adjuvant therapy.

If a patient is going to have a mastectomy, breast reconstruction (surgery to rebuild a breast’s shape after a mastectomy) may be considered. Breast reconstruction may be done at the time of the mastectomy or at some time after. The reconstructed breast may be made with the patient’s own (nonbreast) tissue or by using implants filled with saline or silicone gel.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Candy, candy and more candy. Halloween is just around the corner, and some of us like to offer a non-candy alternative to our door-knocking ghouls and goblins. Here are three that I have been successful with: pencils, erasers and glow sticks/bracelets. -- JoAnn

* Post-Halloween sales are a great time to pick up imaginationstimulating accessories and outfits for the dress-up bin.

* “Young children often love the act of pumpkin carving, but apart from letting them scoop out the seeds (which is FUN), there’s not a safe way to let them help with the cutting. I recommend purchasing a small pumpkin for the little ones to decorate with markers or paint.” -- W.F. in South Carolina

* “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

Breast cancer awareness campaigns have helped destigmatize the disease but have not had a significant impact on the incidence of Stage IV disease or on mortality. Stage IV breast cancer is disease that has, at initial diagnosis, spread to distant sites within the body. The incidence of this has not changed since 1975. In 2017, an estimated 40,610 women in our country will die as a result of breast cancer.

Compiled by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester

Magnificent Autumn! He comes not like a pilgrim, clad in russet weeds. He comes not like a hermit, clad in gray. But he comes like a warrior, with the stain of blood upon his brazen mail. His crimson scarf is rent.... The wind.... wafts to us the odor of forest leaves, that hang wilted on the dripping branches, or drop into the stream. Their gorgeous tints are gone, as if the autumnal rains had washed them out. Orange, yellow, and scarlet, all are changed to one melancholy russet hue.... There is a melancholy and continual roar in the tops of the tall pines.... It is the funeral anthem of the dying year.

DID YOU KNOW?

A 2017 study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention found that about one-third of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in the United States live at least five years after diagnosis. Also known as stage IV breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer is the most advanced stage of the disease. Metastatic breast cancer refers to breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and nearby lymph nodes to other parts of the body. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer also should know that improved treatments may further their chances of surviving a diagnosis, even a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer. In fact, the American Cancer Society notes that survival rates are based on women who were diagnosed and treated at least five years earlier. In the time since those survival rates were documented, treatments could have advanced even further, potentially improving the five-year survival rates for metastatic breast cancer.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment

Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Celebrating 17 Years!

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 you are.

RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

Having breast tissue that is dense on a mammogram is a factor in breast cancer risk. The level of risk depends on how dense the breast tissue is. Women with very dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with low breast density.

Increased breast density is often an inherited trait, but it may also occur in women who have not had children, have a first pregnancy late in life, take postmenopausal hormones, or drink alcohol.
