DID YOU KNOW?

Variousorganizationsurgewomentofamiliarizethemselveswiththeirbreastsandconduct somewhat routine self-exams so they can uncover any lumps or other issues that may warrant further examination by a physician. Though self-exams can lead to discovery of breastcancerwhenthediseaseismosttreatable,theWorldHealthOrganizationnotesthat as many as 90 percent of breast masses are not cancerous. Non-cancerous abnormalities may be benign masses such as fibroadenoma and cysts or indicative of infection. It’s also important that women recognize that breast cancer is not always accompanied by a lump. In fact, the Mayo Clinic reports that many women with breast cancer never experience any signs or symptoms of the disease. In such instances, the disease is discovered during screening tests,which include mammograms.

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

FAQ

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

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

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

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?

Treatment for breast cancer is o en successful. For example, data from the American Society of Clinical Oncology indicates that the ve-year survival rate for women diagnosed with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer is 90 percent, while the average 10-year survival rate for such cancers is 84 percent. ose gures re ect advancements in treatment and the e ectiveness of campaigns designed to encourage women to receive routine breast cancer screenings as part of their preventive health care regimens.

Once doctors have diagnosed breast cancer, they will consider a host of factors as they try to determine a course of treatment.

Stage e National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. notes that treatment options depend on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage is usually expressed in a numerical value between 0 and IV, with 0 being the least severe form of the disease and IV being the most advanced (i.e., metastatic).

Tumor size and location e Cleveland Clinic notes that the size and location of the tumor also a ects how doctors will approach treatment. In general, the smaller the tumor, the easier it is to treat the disease. Where in the breast the tumor is located will also a ect the treatment plan. Doctors o en employ a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to treat breast cancer, and such an approach may be more likely to be employed if the tumor is large.

Pathology tests Pathology is the science of causes and e ects of diseases. When treating patients for breast cancer, doctors order pathology tests so they can better understand how the disease is a ecting their patients’ bodies. For example, the Cleveland Clinic notes that pathology tests like hormone receptor tests and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu) can indicate if

hormones or growth factors are helping the cancer grow. e results of these and other pathology tests can then help doctors determine an e ective course of treatment.

Personal characteristics Doctors will consider woman’s age, general health and family history when mapping a course of treatment. In addition, doctors discuss menopause with women when determining a course of treatment. Breastcancer. org notes that some breast cancer treatments can bring on menopause more abruptly than it would happen otherwise, so doctors will consider a woman’s history with menopause when determining treatment.

Candy, time spent with friends and colorful costumes make Halloween a day to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Halloween also can be a lucrative time of year, as the National Retail Federation notes that Halloween spending equals roughly $6.9 billion each year. But as popular as Halloween seems, many countries do not celebrate the holiday.

Halloween observances are limited mainly to North America and areas of Great Britain. Thanks to North American influence and trade, some elements of Halloween have spread to other areas, including South America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia. But Halloween celebrations outside of North America may not be recognizable to those accustomed to celebrations stateside.

In Scotland and Ireland, traditional customs of Halloween include dressing up in costume or “guising.” Parties may be held, and some people have bonfires or set off firework displays. Filipinos meanwhile return to their hometowns and purchase flowers and candles in preparation for All Saints Day, which takes place the day after Halloween. In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have passed away while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light paths for the spirits as they travel the planet on Halloween night. In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a three-day celebration that begins on the evening of October 31 and culminates on November 2. It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy.

In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid-1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated. However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

HALLOWEEN HISTORY

seem like a relatively modern holiday, and while it may have become modernized, Halloween traditions actually can be traced back to ancient Celtic rituals. It’s believed Halloween traces its origins to a Celtic festival for the dead known as Samhain. During the festival, people would dress up in costumesandleavetreatsontheir front doorsteps to appease spirits that were believed to be roaming the Earth on this holiday. Many historians also feel that trickor-treating can be linked to the European practice of “mumming” or “guysing,” in which costumewearing individuals would go door-to-door, performing dances and plays in exchange for treats.

MESSAGE FROM THE WEBSTER TOWN SUPERVISOR

As you are all readily familiar, the Town of Webster’s slogan “Webster, where life is worth living.” This isn’t without coincidence that the combined efforts of Civic, Education, and Business leaders over the past few years truly do make Webster the best place to live and do business in Monroe County. And even better? We’re just getting started!

In June of 2022, Tessy Plastics, a manufacturer specializing in plastic processing, purchased over 100 acres and 1.5 million square feet of buildings on the Xerox campus. This welcomed addition continues to illustrate that Webster is “open for business” as it will continue to bring us growth. It should go without saying we are excited for what the future holds for the remaining 600+ acres at the Xerox campus. Overall, Webster, New York is comprised of 35 square miles and is home to 46,000 residents. It boasts arguably the best parks and overall greenspace of any community in Monroe County, while providing top notch education, recreational opportunities, quality affordable housing and accessibility to all sorts of goods and services. I invite you to “experience Webster” - through all the facets that make life here worth living. If you don’t live here, you just may find that experience in our civic, education and business endeavors will make you want to!

Sincerely, Supervisor Tom Flaherty

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Halloween can be a spooky good time for children and adults alike, but the cost of costumes can be downright scary. When I was a child, my brother and I dressed as a pirate and a gypsy, respectively, for several years, as they were costumes that could be put together using things you might find around the house. This week, a focus on inexpensive or FREE Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween!

* Most anyone can come up with a ghost costume (basically, a white sheet with eyes cut out and cut off at the bottom so it’s not too long). How about dressing up that ghost with costume jewelry and makeup, or a mustache/beard drawn on, with a tie and carrying a briefcase labeled “Scare Corporation”? Use hats or other dress-up accessories to make Dr. Ghost or Officer Ghost. The possibilities are endless.

* A basic scarecrow needs only a flannel shirt, a pair of jeans and socks, a floppy hat and some straw. Stuff wadded-up plastic bags into shirt or pants to fill, then use rubber bands to secure straw at the cuffs. Paint on a funny face. (Thanks J.R. in Illinois.)

* Be an over-the-top tourist: A loud Hawaiian-style shirt paired with a pair of shorts, perhaps socks with sandals? Carry a camera on a strap around your neck. Use a small carryon bag as your treat bag, or decorate a paper sack by gluing on squares cut from a map.

* Be Static Cling! Use safety pins to pin a variety of small items to your outfit -- think socks, scarves, even a pair of undies if you dare! Tease hair until it’s standing straight up, and use hairspray to keep it that way.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

PAW’S CORNER

Solving a Litter Box Mystery

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m responding to your recent column about the kitten who won’t litter train. I’ve had kitties for over 50 years. e only time one of my kittens had trouble using the litter box, I made sure to watch him the next time he started sni ng around. It turned out that the sides of the litter box were too high! I replaced it with a litter box that had lower sides and it solved the problem. Love your column! -- Linda P., Williamson, New York

DEAR LINDA: ank you for the advice! Cats are experts at hiding their problems, and it can be di cult to see if a training issue is something to do with behavior, health problems or something else.

Your advice to observe the kitten closely, without interfering as it goes about its business, is perfect. If you’ve got time to follow a kitten around the house from a distance, that’s great. Of course, many of us are busy or have to leave the house for most of the day for work. One way to get around that is to use an indoor security camera -- one of the small cameras available for purchase online like a Blink or a SimpliSafe -- and point it at the litter box. You can observe activity around the box while you’re away (or in another room).

In this instance, the sides of the box were simply too high! A quick x got the kitten back on track.

Now, what if you observe something else, like the kitten showing distress just before it pees or poops? Or interference from another kitten or cat? Contact your veterinarian for advice, a checkup if needed, and an action plan to solve the litter box mystery.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Workouts at the Rec Center

Two months ago the senior center commandeered a large space in the town’s rec center because we had vetoed the idea of exercise classes in a too-small space at the senior center.

It was a two-month test, warned the senior center, to see if we’d actually show up. ey even brought in a too-young male coach to put us through our paces. Although we were suspicious about his age, by the third week we agreed he knew his stu .

And he himself brought in an even younger female assistant who stayed at the front of the room demonstrating the exercises while the young male coach paced around the room, expression serious, studying us, stopping us in mid-move to instruct and praising where warranted.

Two weeks ago he brought in yet another assistant and broke us into two groups across the rec center oor. He labeled us “Easy” and “Not Easy,” saying that some of us needed to take things more slowly while others needed to put more e ort into the workout. Try as I might to get transferred to the Easy group, he was having none of it.

He worked hard on our behalf, badgering the rec center to open up the weight room so he could give out some hand weights. He coaxed the local sporting goods store into donating some stretchy bands and yoga mats. Last week he brought in a diet handout, foods to eat to build muscle.

We discovered just this week, however, that we’ve all been guinea pigs, that our too-young male coach was using us as his senior tness specialist project for college. Color us shocked! We weren’t sure how we felt about that until we learned that he’d earned an “A” on the project.

e other good news is that they’ve hired our too-young male coach and his two assistants on a permanent basis. And we get to stay at the rec center.

WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

Use social media to give your recommendations on small businesses that go above and beyond in quality and service.

According to the American Cancer Society, cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment are generally urged to avoid vaccinations other than the flu shot, though that conventional wisdom may not be applicable in relation to the COVID-19 virus. The ACS notes that vaccines require an immune system response to work effectively, and cancer patients’ immune systems may not be able to produce an adequate response to vaccines during treatment. That can make vaccines, including those for COVID-19, less effective. However, while traditionally cancer patients have been urged to avoid vaccinations during treatment, the ACS notes that cancer patients, due to fragile immune systems resulting from both their disease and the treatments for it, are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease. As a result, doctors may still advise their patients to receive the COVID-19 vaccination even during treatment, as having some measure of protection against the virus may still be better than having none at all. No two cancer patients are the same, so those concerned about COVID-19 and the vaccinations against it are urged to discuss those concerns and their options with their cancer care team.

COMMON HALLOWEEN PHOBIAS

Halloween is about embracing the scary and the spooky and enjoying all off the things that go “bump” in the night. Naturally, the holiday can drum up some fears and tap into peoples’ anxieties, especially when they come face-to-face with some of the symbols of Halloween. Some of these fears may be full-blown phobias.

A phobia is defined as an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something. Phobias can elicit feelings of dread and horror. In psychological terms, it is an anxiety disorder in which a person will go to great lengths to avoid a perceived danger. This danger is usually much greater in the person’s mind than in real life.

Several symbols of Halloween can be tied to phobias. A person with achluophobia may not enjoy the darkness of the Halloween night. Someone with coimetrophobia probably would not want to visit a cemetery. Coming in contact with a ghost would not be ideal for someone with phasmophobia. Anyone with wiccaphobia might fear meeting up with a broom-riding witch. One of the more common phobias is arachnophobia, which is a fear of spiders. Spider decorations are common come Halloween, so people with arachnophobia may struggle on and around October 31.

While Halloween will never fall on the thirteenth day of the month, the number 13 has been linked to Halloween festivities. Many people view the number 13 to be a harbinger of bad luck. This is especially so for those with triskaidekaphobia, or the fear of the number 13.

Believe it or not, some people have a crippling fear of Halloween itself. This phobia is called samhainophobia. which is the fear of Halloween or the fear of the festival of the dead. The term “samhainophobia” originates from “Samhain,” meaning summer’s end. Samhain was also the name of the festival celebrated by the Celts to mark the transition from summer to winter.

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.

Data from the GLSEN® 2019 National School Climate Survey indicates that 59 percent of LGBTQ students felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation.Roughly one-third of LGBTQ students indicated they had missed at least one entire day of school in the month preceding their participation in the survey because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable,while just under 9 percent admitted missing four or more days during that span. The survey consisted of more than 16,000 students between the ages of 13 and 21 and represented students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam. Results from the 2021 survey will be available in fall 2022. Spirit Day is an effort to highlight and support programming that counters the dangerous effects of bullying of LGBTQ youth.

Thanks, Canandaigua!

The Canandaigua Rotary Club collects roadside debris along Routes 5 & 20. We seem to be collecting less each pick-up. Of equal importance are those measures taken by this area's homeowners and businesses in keeping their yards, drives, and parking lots free of debris, making for more visually healthy scenery. For your efforts and dedication, we thank each of you!

An Angel of Mercy

Many thanks to Lisa who came to my rescue on Friday. After sitting in the parking lot of a local school watching the sky and listening to the radio, I found my car battery dead when I went to return home. To top it off, my cellphone was dead, too! I am a senior in poor shape but managed to get home where I was able to contact a friend for help. She drove me back to my car. She will

HOMETOWN

Can you read?

Recently, it was the town festival. There were “No Parking” signs all over as well as “No Trespassing” signs. Rude people just parked any place and anywhere they wanted. Signs are up for a reason. You are lucky your vehicle wasn’t towed away at your risk. Wake up, people, and learn to read or maybe get an eye exam. Respect signs. Read before you park. It may save you hassle in the future. Does this mean you? You moved my cones from my driveway, went through my yard and my garden, and knocked my rhubarb patch to the ground. Use the road to go where you are going. We all need to use common sense these days.

So Rude

Why do people have to be so rude? One young guy at a [local business] was working with another young guy, putting things on the shelves. I needed gas. He came over, got right in my face and said, “What an [obscenity].” While I was driving (I was tired.), some guy yelled out, “What an old [obscenity]” Then, to top it off, I was visiting a therapist, and in the lobby, a stranger said (loudly and with lots of people around), “You’re worthless!” I felt even sadder. This is the new trend.

Handicap Parking for a Reason

To the person who ranted about handicap parking abuse: I agree that there is an element of abuse with the use of handicap parking permits. However, not all people who have a disability that qualifies for special parking are elderly. Just because someone is younger, it does not mean that they aren’t disabled. Plus, not all disabilities are visible to the naked eye. Someone may have a mobility issue that requires extra space to enter or exit their vehicle. A woman may be pregnant and having a difficult pregnancy, and under doctor’s orders, needs to limit walking long distances. As for the people wearing a nametag for work and parking in a handicap spot, people with disabilities often work a part-time job. You never know what a person is going through, and not all physical disabilities are visually obvious. So, don’t judge when you haven’t a clue about the person you are judging. Show some kindness and understanding, instead of assuming the worst about someone!

Case of Enlarged Pelvic Veins Is Not a Cause for Concern

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 71-year-old female with no children, but I did have an ectopic pregnancy at age 43. Other than that, I have had no “female” issues. I was getting a CT scan for my spleen area, when it was discovered that I had enlarged pelvic veins in my groin. I don’t have pelvic pain, nor do I have pain with sex. So, the only symptoms I do have, which may or may not be related, are bloating and some constipation.

I have seen a vascular surgeon and a urogynocologist to ask about this condition and if I need “treatment” for it. Both were rather vague, saying if I’m not experiencing pain, I should just get it imaged every year. Is that sound advice? Can the veins twist and cause blockage? Can they cause a blood clot? I can’t really get any info on it. -- J.F.

ANSWER: Although advanced imaging like CT and MRI scans have led physicians to be able to make more precise diagnoses than before, there is an issue of what to do with “incidental” findings. Many people have written to me about small tumors (which are far more common than we thought), but enlarged pelvic veins are another example of an incidental finding. Some women do have a condition called “pelvic congestion syndrome,” which is a cause of pelvic pain that is worsened by prolonged standing or sexual activity. This condition is found in women in the reproductive age group, especially those who have had multiple children, but is not found in menopausal women. Since you aren’t in the age group and don’t have symptoms, you clearly don’t have pelvic congestion syndrome. Dilated veins in the legs are simply called varicose veins, and they are often due to loss in function of the valves in our legs as we age. Pelvic vein enlargement is the same thing: Veins get bigger as we age. There are cases of blood clots in the pelvic veins, but it is not clear whether a person like you is at increased risk. I don’t see the need to repeat the imaging studies.

More than three-and-a-quarter million women in our country are living in the aftermath of a breast cancer diagnosis.

National Cancer Institute’s

Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program estimates that, in 2014, there were 3,327,552 women

in the United States who had a history of breast cancer.

Compiled by the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester

Sue DeBruyne, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology

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 breastandnearbylymphnodestoother 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.

Canandaigua Haunted by Ghoulish Halloween Rumors

BY AMANDA DUDEK

time for Halloween.

Whether you are a Halloween enthusiast who goes to every haunted house, hayride, and corn maze within a 30-mile radius or a Halloween participant who decorates, trick or treats, and calls it a night—or somewhere in between—almost everyone enjoys a good ghost story. e tales around Spook Hill, Lonesome Lucy from Frost Hill, and the Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane are sure to send a chill up your spine!

Spook Hill

A gravity-defying phenomenon, Spook Hill is the stu of folklore, an uncanny bend in the earth where gravity seems to be reversed. Situated in the wooded countryside of Yates County, not far from Canandaigua Lake, this “gravity hill” can be found by heading south on Newell Road, starting at what appears to be the bottom of a hill, just before a driveway to the west and Spike Road to the east.

Everything rolls backwards up this hill, from cars put in neutral to bicycles to balls, even water! Some people believe that this phenomenon is the work of spirits, or “spooks,” hence the name. Some say that locals disturbed the spirits of the Native Americans in the ancient Native American burial ground located along what is now North Vine Valley Road, and that these spirits push trespassers away from their nal resting place.

Others claim there is a much more scienti c reason, claiming Spook Hill is a gravity hill, one of several in New York. Two others can be found in Portville and Su ern. Gravity hills o en visually appear to be slanted downwards but are proven to be slanted upwards when tested with a level. erefore, the concept of optical illusion comes closest to explaining the phenomenon.

If you choose to check it out for yourself, exercise caution, as it is on a public road. Be certain no other cars are approaching and be careful to remain on your side of the road with your four-way ashers on. Experiencing Spook Hill is hair-raising, goosebump-inducing fun!

Lonesome Lucy from Frost Hill

Lucy Frost was born in 1806 possibly to Keziah Vale and Jonathan Frost, a leader of the now lost Frost Town in Ontario County. A South Bristol Historical Society historical marker reads, “Frost Town: Town pioneers erected a sawmill here in 1790. By 1808, Jonathan Frost was operating three mills. e town of 200 people and 39 buildings faded with the harvested timber.”

Lucy Frost married omas Je erson Barkley on January 13th, 1824 and died on November 6th, 1825, just months a er giving birth to Lucy Barkley. She was buried in the Frost Town Cemetery. Ontario County documents describe the Frost Town Cemetery location: “Frost Town/Gulick Gorge Cemetery (West of Gulick Road along rim of Briggs Gully.) [May also be known as McGreavy Cemetery.]” However,

according to Ann and John Street who purchased the old “Barkley House,” Lucy (Frost) Barkley’s gravestone was leaning against a large oak tree west of the house, although gossip had it she wasn’t buried there. According to a letter from former Barkley House owner Colie Dugan, Dugan herself had brought Lucy’s headstone to the Barkley House property a er it had been removed from its gravesite and had been placed against the cemetery fence.

During the ensuing decades, the tree rotted, and the gravestone deteriorated. No actual gravesite could be determined for Lucy (Frost) Barkley, so in the 1990s, the HoneoyeRichmond Historical Society Museum donated the headstone to the Honeoye Area Historical Society for preservation. Today, Lonesome Lucy is said to be roaming Frost Hill in search of her family and Frost Town, her long-lost home.

Brigham Hall

Completely lost to the mists of time, Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane once stood somewhere in the Grove Street area of Canandaigua. At one point spanning about 100 acres, its boundary lines best approximated by Bristol St., Parrish St. South Pearl St., and West St. in town. Opening its doors in 1855 as Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane, the facility was soon a erwards chartered with New York State as Brigham Hall Hospital. “It was the rst such institution in New York State that actually bore the name ‘hospital’ rather than ‘asylum’ or ‘institution,’” said Preston E. Pierce, Ontario County Historical Society educator.

Although focused on healing and the humane treatment of those in its care, some patients did pass away. According to an 1860 book entitled, Brigham Hall, A Hospital for the Insane, “From the opening of the institution, to the 1st of September, 1860, there have been received 166 patients, of whom 49 have been discharged recovered; 40 improved; 19 unimproved, and 10 have died; 48 remain under treatment.” e facility closed as a mental hospital in 1960.

Some say the gures of doctors and patients have sometimes been seen wandering the former Brigham Hall grounds.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function.Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances,the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

As difficult as relocating can be, 64 percent of those who had relocated expressed positive sentiments toward their job relocation, while just 7.5 percent harbored negative feelings about relocating (28 percent were neutral).
