Unfortunately, many people now feel that COVID isn’t a deadly threat anymore, but if you’re an older adult or a person with chronic or disabling conditions, getting COVID can still kill you. Getting Vaccinated was de nitely the right decision for me.“

Follow along all 4 weeks in October as we spread awareness about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, recovery and life after breast cancer.
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.
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.
Asparagine is found in foods like asparagus, whole grains, soy, seafood, eggs, poultry, beef, legumes, and more. While reducing asparagine will not a ect the original breast cancer tumor, it could stop cancer from showing up elsewhere in the body. Researchers suspect that many women with breast cancer do not lose their lives to the original breast cancer tumor, but instead they succumb to metastases or subsequent growths away from the primary site.

human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given to us by a bountiful
and not until the shadows of death begin to gather around the object that we love, do we see its worth and beauty. Autumn is the dim shadow that clusters about the sweet, precious things that God has created in the realm of nature. While it robs them of life, it tears away the veil and reveals the golden gem of beauty and sweetness. Beauty lurks in all the dim old aisles of nature, and we discover it at last.
Determine your motivation for renovating: Renovation projects often involve balancing needs and wants, and determining if a project is a necessity or a luxury can set the timeline and course of the project. Is the roof leaking? If so, immediate action is necessary. Could the kitchen be a bit more functional? If the kitchen is still manageable, a homeowner may be able to wait a little bit to get better prices on appliances or contracting services.
Separating needs from wants helps homeowners map out a viable timeline that maximizes productivity and affordability.
Parents go to great lengths to protect their children.
Keeping a watchful eye is a great way to protect kids when they're around the house, but parents may need to look for more subtle signs to determine if their children are being mistreated when they leave home.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that roughly 20 percent of students between the ages of 12 and 18 experience bullying nationwide. Parents might once have written off bullying as part of growing up, but research has long since indicated that bullying can be very harmful to youngsters. The DHHS notes that research indicates that persistent bullying can lead to or exacerbate feelings of isolation, rejection, exclusion, and despair. Children who are persistently bullied also may experience new or worsening feelings of anxiety and depression.
Parents can play a vital role in preventing bullying. Much of that role involves parents educating themselves about bullying, including what it is and what it's not and what are some warning signs that a child is involved in bullying.
The DHHS website Stopbullying.gov defines bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power. Bullying behavior is repeated or has the potential to be repeated over time. The imbalance of power associated with bullying involves the children who bully using some semblance of power they have over the children they're bullying to harm or control those youngsters. Their power may be physical strength, access to embarrassing information or popularity.
Various types of aggressive behavior have the potential to be harmful, but they do not fall under the umbrella of bullying. For example, Stopbullying.gov notes that children between the ages of three and five are learning how to coexist with one another, including how to share and cooperate. Children in these age groups may be aggressive if they don't get what they want, but their actions in such instances do not constitute bullying. More information about potentially harmful, non-bullying behaviors is available at Stopbullying.gov.
The DHHS notes that not all children who are being bullied exhibit warning signs. In addition, some signs might be more subtle than others. But some potential indicators that a child is being bullied include:
• Unexplainable injuries
• Lost or destroyed clothing, books, electronics, or jewelry
• Frequent headaches or stomach aches, feeling sick or faking illness
• Changes in eating habits, like suddenly skipping meals or binge eating. For example, children who are being bullied may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.
• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school
• Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations
• Feelings of helplessness or decreased self esteem
• Self-destructive behaviors such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide
What are some signs a child is bullying other children? Parents also should be on the lookout for signs their children are bullying other youngsters. Such signs include:
• Kids get into physical or verbal altercations
• Children have friends who bully others
• Increasingly aggressive behavior
• Frequent trips to the principal's office or to detention
• Kids have extra money or new belongings but cannot explain how they got the cash or items
• Kids blame others for their problems
• An unwillingness to accept responsibility for their actions
• Kids are competitive and worry about their reputation or popularity
Parents have a vital role to play in preventing bullying so all youngsters feel safe and sound inside and outside of school.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife’s handicap parking placard expired, and she asked her primary care physician to fill out a renewal application. The new placard was received, followed by a letter from the DMV instructing my wife to return her license within 10 days because a medical professional had deemed it unsafe for her to drive. There was no discussion with my wife about driving.
My wife had a stroke about two years ago, but there are no obvious signs that she shouldn’t be driving outside of that. She recently had a Watchman device placed, but no one ever said she shouldn’t drive. My wife has had no symptoms since the surgery. She saw the cardiologist who performed the Watchman surgery, and he said she is doing well. She also saw her regular cardiologist, and he also said she is doing well. She saw both of these doctors after seeing the physician who notified the DMV that she should not drive.
I have seen the after-visit notes of all the doctors my wife has seen in the last three months. All say that she is doing well.
The doctor involved said, in her notes, “She is doing well, no concerns.” She has not had any device implanted to maintain rhythm. Was it unethical to not discuss revoking my wife’s license with her before doing it? -- Anon.
ANSWER: The Watchman device is placed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a rhythm disturbance of the heart. Its placement has no bearing on her driving, but AFib potentially does. AFib does predispose people to strokes and, occasionally, to a heart rate so fast that they can’t think properly. Conceivably, a person could have a stroke or a very fast heart rate while driving, but this is a very rare cause of motor-vehicle accidents. The most common medical cause for impairment while driving is epilepsy, which is a whole separate discussion.
There are international guidelines to help clinicians decide whether a person with a history of arrhythmia is safe to drive.
In the case of atrial fibrillation, the guidelines are consistent that only if a person is having symptoms or is incapacitated should they stop driving, and they may resume once the symptoms or incapacity is better. From what you tell me, she had no reason for her driving to be restricted. Unless her primary care physician knows something that you haven’t told me, this decision was not supported by consensus guidelines.
Was the decision ethical? I don’t think so. An ethical decision is one that minimizes harm, both to your wife and to the community. Your wife has been harmed, and I don’t think the community is safer because she can’t drive. I don’t think she was treated fairly. Lack of truth-telling undermines trust, which is essential for ethical patient care.
It is possible that the decision to restrict her driving privileges was done in error, either by her physician or by the DMV. I do feel strongly that her physician should have told her that her driving privileges would be restricted: This would have allowed for some discussion, perhaps with her cardiologists, and would remove the question of whether there was an error.

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.

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.
• Modifiedradicalmastectomy:Surgerytoremovethewholebreastthat 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.
Ifapatientisgoingtohaveamastectomy,breastreconstruction(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.
If a room (or rooms) in your house are in disarray, start by reorganizing those often-used spaces to give them a like-new look and feel. Begin by removing everything from the room - including the furniture, if you’re ableand separate your belongings into boxes or piles based on what you plan to put back in the room, move to another location and throw away or donate. Once you’ve cleaned the space, resituate the necessary furniture then place items you’re keeping back in their places in tidy fashion so they’re easy to locate.

* Using your fireplace? Try adding citrus peels to the logs for a nice aroma. They can be a good starter material as well.
* Those hide-a-key rocks can be a little obvious -- at least they are to me. I have a spare key hidden outside too, but I sealed mine in a plastic baggie and buried it in a spot known to our family members. Also, it’s not right by the door. -- I.E. in Mississippi
* When closing up our cabin for the season, we brought a box of mothballs and scattered them around the porch perimeter. This keeps the small animals like mice and skunks from setting up shop there while no one is around. -S.F. in Pennsylvania
* Now’s a great time to start weatherstripping! Check and recaulk windows. Caulk along baseboards to deter drafts. Add insulation to electrical outlets and under sinks around plumbing. Seal it up to stay toasty this winter.
* Remember to turn off bathroom fans after 10 minutes. In the winter, if your house is on the dry side, don’t use the fan at all: Open the door so the humidity from the shower or bath reaches into the house.

It’s October, and autumn in Western New York means there’s a chill in the air and lengthening shadows that make the evenings seem otherworldly. As Halloween draws near, the thoughts of many turn to manifestations of the supernatural. Rolling Hills Asylum (RHA) in East Bethany is one of the most popular locations, reportedly lled withparanormalactivity.NooneunderstandsRHA’shistory,unearthly inhabitants, and daily activity better than owner Sharon Coyle.
Sharon grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, rich in both history and supernatural New England folklore. From her youth, Sharon had an interest in the paranormal. Her childhood home, she says, was also paranormally active, visually and audibly, such as unexplained noises, footsteps, disappearing keys, changing thermostats, and mysterious “visitors” sitting on the edges of beds.
Sharon grew up to nd a career as a location manager and associate producer in lm production as well as working in sales and marketing. en, her mother’s passing reignited her interest in what happens in what she calls the mysterious oh-so-far-and-yet-too-close other side. “I was looking for answers,” said Sharon. “ ere is a hole in my heart caused by those I love passing on. Like many, I have questions, suspicions, and hopes.”
A er exploring the paranormal on the California Coast Sharon rst visited RHA in 2008, “I had three amazing nights of activity, including meeting Roy Crouse, the 7+ foot Shadow Man, and capturing some outstanding evidence,” recalled Sharon. “When I learned that RHA was closing forever, I had to intervene, and bought RHA the day before my birthday in 2009, and moved here in the spring of 2010.”
“I have owned RHA for nearly 13 years now. ere is so much that happens here. I am living with these people,” she said, referring to RHA’s otherworldly residents. “ ese were people with ties to the community, people with whom we communicate in spirit on a regular basis. ere are things that happen here that cannot be explained.” Operating from 1827-1974, Rolling Hills began as the Genesee County Poorhouse, welcoming “orphaned children, families, destitute elderly, physically handicapped, mentally unstable, morally corrupt, even criminals,” according to Genesee County Historian Susan L. Conklin. “In 1828 Genesee County constructed a stone building attached to the Poorhouse for the con nement of lunatics and a repository for paupers committed for misconduct…Residents were referred to as inmates (no matter why they were housed there).”
RHAevenhasalostcemetery.“ ecemeteryfortheCountyPoorhouse has faded away as the stones crumpled, the grass grew, and the forest replanted,” said Conklin. “No one was around to care for those who had so long ago been forgotten. ese people, though they were poor, ill, and sometimes abandoned, do deserve to be remembered. An actual cemetery register or plot map has yet to be discovered.”
Sharon believes that people have an energy that never goes away, just changes shape or form. RHA certainly seems to have a great deal of energy. “ ere are so many things we see, feel, hear, and smell,” she explained. “ ings
moving right in front of us, recordings, images… this place is truly amazing. We will witness clocks chiming, whistling, a wheelchair rolling on its own, words coming through a spirit box, all kinds of things. Guests have experienced little children’s hands grabbing onto their hands, hearing their names called out, sitting in the barber’s chair and feeling hair falling on their face like they were having a haircut...it’s crazy, amazing, and phenomenal.”
Of Sharon’s many paranormal experiences at RHA, two stand out. “A spirit named Roy will call out my name in his deep voice,” she said. “We also have a little boy named Jacque down in the laundry room. He looks like Pugsley from the Addams family. I went to put something away down there. I opened one of the doors, and he startled me with a loud, ‘Boo!’ I scolded him for startling me. A year later, I asked him if he wanted to say boo to me through the spirit box, and he did. at is his little signal to me.”
e supernatural keeps Sharon going. “It gives people who have lost a loved one hope that there is something a erwards,” she said. “ ey come from all over: Alaska, Texas, England, Australia, and more. We all have people pass on. We miss them and hope to see them on the other side.”
“ ey are always around us, trying to tell us something,” she said. “We have to pay attention. If you think you hear that voice, you probably are.”

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 spiceisalsoakeyingredientwhen 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.
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My small mixed-breed dog, Tara, has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms. I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn't chew them bloody during these episodes. I hear from other friends that their dogs have anxiety issues as well. Is this problem on the rise? -- Sherri L., Kansas City, Mo.
DEAR SHERRI: Evidence isn't clear that anxiety in dogs is rising, but there is a rise in the understanding and diagnosis of anxiety in pets by veterinarians. is has led to an increase in diagnosis and treatment for pet anxiety.
While that is good for pets, there is no "magic bullet" to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder. Tara's vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine di erent ways to treat her.
Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of Tara's anxiety, and trigger points that set o her paw-chewing. understorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another.
ere are a number of di erent techniques, both training or interaction, to turn o those triggers. While there's not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement. Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues.
In evaluating such professionals, ask what therapies they use or are open to, and make sure they emphasize your role in working with Tara (owners have to put in the time with their dogs). Be circumspect about pet therapists who insist they have a single, one-sizets-all solution for anxiety. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

While on my daily walk in Henrietta on September 13th, I suddenly felt something was wrong and woke up a few moments later, laying in a very wet and muddy ditch! Apparently, I had momentarily lost consciousness. A nice lady in a white car saw it happen and stopped to help me, and she even took me home. Thank you, Good Samaritan, whoever you were! (By the way, the same thing happened a few days later, so I now have a new pacemaker to prevent any more episodes like that.)
Many thanks to the Penfield Delta Sonic staff! They detailed my car to a very high standard of excellence. They all worked very hard, and it showed! I cannot say enough about their professionalism and friendliness. My CRV is once again clean, shiny, and fragrant! Again, a great big thank you! Keep up the good work! - JMD
On Oct 12th at around 5pm, an angel stopped on Route 33 to give me and my son a ride home. Our ride was canceled, and my phone was dead, so I had no way of communicating with anyone. Not that we had anyone to call since we just moved here and don’t know anyone in town. She was kind enough to take us even as three troopers drove by and looked at me like I was crazy. We are forever grateful. May God bless you a million times. Please continue to be a great soul. Thank you! -Debbie
Now Hiring! You see the signs everywhere today, but tomorrow, they may be gone. Not because the positions are full, but because the position no longer exists because the business is no more. There is no reason that someone who wants a job may not have one right now.
You may not value your life or care to be around for your family, but I do, both yours and mine! I don’t understand. It only takes a few seconds to come to stop at the stop sign. I’m traveling 30-55mph. I am less than 3-4 car lengths from the intersection. You run the stop sign. I don’t want to hit you, and I’ll do everything in my power to stop my car, but you’ve got to try harder to drive defensively and understand what a stop sign means.

Last week, someone ranted about young or (seemingly) able-bodied persons hopping out of cars in spaces for disabled persons. He or she doesn’t mention whether or not the cars have tags or plates entitling them to park there. Many disabilities are not visible to others but exist nonetheless (recent surgery, COPD, back braces, brittle bone disease, etc.) If someone has a tag or plate, they have documented a disability with the DMV and do not need to look elderly to you!
This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper. The Crossword Puzzle is provided by Tribune Media Services. Any questions or comments should be made to 1-800-346-8798.
Welcome to the season of increased scam telemarketer phone calls, either political or holiday related.
e National Do Not Call Registry is a government program intended to block unwanted sales calls. It’s a free service, and all you have to do is sign up either on your phone or on the internet.
Call 888-382-1222 from the phone you want to block and follow the steps. Or go online to donotcall.gov and read the info. A word of warning: If you register your number online, you are also required to enter an email address. ey’ll send you a note asking you to click a link in that email to nish the registration to stop unwanted calls -- if they stop.
Blocking scammers on the registry doesn’t take care of the whole problem. e FAQ on the site says that certain types of calls are allowed: political, charitable, debt collection, informational and surveys. ink about the holes those leave.
I maintain that receiving a political call is still a sales call -- they’re trying to sell us on the idea of voting a certain way, and therefore political calls also should be blocked in the Do Not Call Registry. Surveys can be just as bad if the questions they ask are clearly skewed in one direction or another.
I see charitable calls as scams if they take your personal banking or credit-card information. Additionally, if you’ve ever done business with a company, they’re allowed to call you.
So, there are holes in the system. But you can take steps to stop at least some of the calls by registering with Do Not Call.
As an aside, I called the registry to verify that my phone is already listed. Yes, despite all the calls I get, it’s been listed as a do-not-call number since 2006.

And the Autumn clutches the forests green
In a hasty and eager clasp;
But the leaves are true to the Summer they love,
And they wither and fade in his grasp.

Witches: Images of witches riding broomsticks are everywhere come Halloween, and witch costumes remain a standard. Almanac.com indicates that, during the Middle Ages, women who practiced divination were dubbed “witches,” from the Anglo-Saxon word “wicce,” or “wise one.” It was believed the witches could go into a trancelike state, and would do so in front of their fireplaces. Superstitious people believed the witches could fly out of their chimneys on broomsticks and terrorize others with magical deeds.

Managing one’s time can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. As a result, adults with hectic schedules and multiple responsibilities may pine for an extra hour or two in the day. While it’s impossible to extend a day from 24 to 26 hours, there are ways for busy men and women to create more time in their day.
1. Embrace organization tools. Whether it’s day planners, smartphone reminders or more traditional print calendars with meetings and deadlines written on them, organization tools can greatly cut back on time spent trying to remember and/or confirm meeting times, project schedules, deadlines, and other obligations.
2. Assess your productivity. Some people are most productive in the mornings, while others do not hit their strides until after lunch. Identify the time or times of day when you tend to be most productive, and make an effort to focus exclusively on work during these times. Resist any urge to schedule meetings or conference calls during those times of day when you are most productive, as it can be hard to multitask or focus when discussing projects with coworkers or clients.
3. Minimize distractions. Social media, the internet and texting can distract attention away from tasks that must be completed, ultimately affecting howquicklyandefficientlysuch projects are finished. Make a concerted effort to avoid social media and the internet while at work, and turn off smartphone alerts that entice you to go online. In addition, turn off text alerts if they are proving too great a distraction.
4. Reconsider your commute. Professionals who drive to work but find themselves sitting in traffic on their way to and from work can investigate possible alternatives to driving themselves. Public transportation might not get you to work more quickly than driving yourself, but time spent on a bus or train can be used to workonprojectsandcheckand answer work-related emails, clearinguptimelaterintheday. Time spent behind the wheel of an automobile cannot be safely spent working.
