family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.

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.

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.

Batavia Surrounded By Ghostly Halloween Gossip

BY ELIJAH ROBINSON

It’s that season again. e time to get spooky and scary. Halloween is around the corner, and what better way to get in the spirit than to pay a visit to houses possessed by spirits and ghouls? Batavia has a few notable places where people can get their jeepers creepers for the year. Halloween, originally known as All Hollow’s Eve, came to the United States in the 1840s. It is a celebration where people dress in their favorite costumes, go door to door for candy, visit haunted houses, and share horror stories with each other. e haunted houses that are part of the tradition in Batavia have an infamous reputation of being authentic, fun, and horri c.

Haunted Bergen House

e Haunted Bergen House is one house that may be truly haunted. Legend has it that “the triangle shaped property today is haunted by a lady walking up the long driveway, a gure standing in the top of the barn, a gure standing outside looking into the house, disembodied voices, growls and shadows,” according to the owner of the Bergen house, Cathy Heglund, who believes that her Bergen home is truly haunted.

One peculiar occurrence happened here where Heglund came in close contact with what appeared to be a Native American spirit. is is one of many tales this house tells with its over 200-year history. It wouldn’t be Halloween without a trip to this “spirited” haunt.

Seymour Place

Another haunted building with a legacy of fright is the Seymour Place, now run by GoArt. Built in 1831, this place was originally a bank, west of the Genesee River. In 1887, the board members of the bank turned the place into a private men’s club. In 2002, GoArt acquired the building. is building is home to many spirits. One chilling example is a 6’ 2’’ man dressed in 1860s clothing who frequents the bar area. Rumor has it this spirit has been seen accompanied by the pungent smell of cigar smoke.

Executive director of GoArt, Gregory Hellock, has said there’s a history of happenings that occurred, stemming from its history as a men’s club

and a bank, and the history of the land the building was built on. “ ere’s rumors of it being part of the Underground Railroad, and there are di erent spirits from all of those happenings,” Hellock said.

Every Friday night since the beginning of the Halloween season, guests take hour-long tours to investigate the spirits which are said to possess the house.

West Main Street Cemetery - Batavia

Yet another “hotspot” for this ghoulish season is Batavia’s West Main Street Cemetery. is cemetery was plotted along the northern part of Tonawanda Creek in 1806. Among the bodies buried there were soldiers from the War of 1812. Tonawanda Creek would ood, making the cemetery inaccessible. In 1823, the cemetery was moved to a di erent location away from the water. All the bodies were exhumed and placed in new graves. However, it is believed that some bodies were le behind, and ghosts now haunt the area. Businesses have been built over this former cemetery, and there have been accounts of a woman dressed in gray seen along the north bank where the original cemetery was. It wouldn’t be uncommon to see beings and spirits walking among this cemetery’s tombstones.

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.

RAVES

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.

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

PROTECTIVE FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER

The ovaries make most of the estrogen that is made by the body. Treatmentsthatstoporlowertheamountofestrogenmadebytheovaries include surgery to remove the ovaries, radiation therapy, or taking certain drugs. This is called ovarian ablation.

Premenopausal women who have a high risk of breast cancer due to certain changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes may choose to have a risk-reducing oophorectomy (the removal of both ovaries when there are no signs of cancer). This decreases the amount of estrogen made by the body and lowers the risk of breast cancer. Riskreducing oophorectomy also lowers the risk of breast cancer in normal premenopausal women and in women with an increased risk of breast cancer due to radiation to the chest. However, it is very important to have a cancer risk assessment and counseling before making this decision. The sudden drop in estrogen levels may cause the symptoms of menopause to begin. These include hot flashes, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and depression. Long-term effects include decreased sex drive, vaginal dryness, and decreased bone density.

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.

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.

Then summer fades and passes, and October comes. Will smell smoke then, and feel an unsuspected sharpness, a thrill of nervous, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure.

are when

productivity really starts to drop off, it might be time to reconsider what you eat for lunch. The body, which converts the foods we eat into glucose that energizes our brains and promotes alertness, processes

types of foods differently. So the food you eat for lunch may affect your energy levels for the rest of the day. For example, eating pasta provides a quick burst of energy because pasta releases glucose quickly. But that burst is often followed by a noticeable downturn in

by fading glucose levels that make it difficult for the brain to focus. In contrast, fruits and vegetables aid in the production

HOW TO ACE JOB INTERVIEWS WHEN SWITCHING CAREERS

Remain positive throughout the interview. Even if you are changing careers because you’re unhappy and/or unfulfilled in your present line of work, avoid badmouthing that industry and your past employers. Doing so will only reflect negatively on you and raise a red flag with prospective employers. Instead, explain your reasons for pursuing a new career path in terms that excite potential employers about your candidate.

An estimated 154,794 Americans are currently living with metastatic breast cancer, which occurs when cancer in the breast spreads to other parts of the body, most often the lungs, liver, bones, and brain. One quarter of this number represents those whose metastatic disease was found at diagnosis, while three-quarters have experienced metastatic recurrence of early stage disease. Approximately 20% to 30% of people first diagnosed with early stage disease will later develop advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

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.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MOBILE PHONE ETIQUETTE

Always use appropriate language. When using a mobile phone in public, refrain from peppering conversations with expletives or graphic language. Children may be nearby without your knowledge, but even if there are no young people in the immediate vicinity, your fellow adults likely don’t want to hear foul or graphic language.

HALLOWEEN AND TRICK-OR-TREATING

Come October, people across the United States and various other countries participate in a tradition that has been around for some time. Trick-or-treating, which involves costumed children going door-to-door in the neighborhood asking for candy, is a staple of fall. While the exact origins of Halloween and trick-or-treating are hard to pin down, historians believe that Halloween came from a holiday known as Samhain, which ancient Brits and Celts once celebrated in recognition of the onset of winter. During Samhain, revelers believed that the world of the gods and ghosts was open and that these beings played tricks on the mortals. In turn, mortals lit bonfires and wore costumes so they would be unrecognizable to the ghosts. Unlike the lighthearted activities of today’s Halloween, ritualistic sacrifices and other more sinister events also took place 2,000 years ago on Samhain. Once Christianity took root in formally Celtic locales, the tide of Samhain celebrations turned and a focus was placed on celebrating the holy and dead in more meaningful ways on All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2). In fact, Halloween, which comes from All Hallows Eve (hallow meaning “holy”), offered an opportunity to come together and pray, dress in costumes of hallowed saints and evil spirits, and act out the battles of good versus evil. Poor individuals also were known to travel to the homes of more fortunate individuals and receive pastries known as “soul cakes” in exchange for a promise to pray for that homeowner’s deceased relatives. The tradition of “souling” eventually gave way to trick-or-treating. History.com says it is unknown when the term “trick-or-treat” came into the vernacular. However, the phrase has at least been in use since 1951, when the popular “Peanuts” comics published a Halloween edition. The title “Trick or Treat” also was used on a Disney cartoon featuring Donald Duck in 1952.
