HALLOWEEN,

The human soul is slow to discover the real excellence of things given to us by a bountiful Creator, 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.

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.

PREPARE YOUR LAWN & GARDEN FOR WINTER

a winterizing fertilizer. Winterizing fertilizers can help lawns store food they need to survive through winter and also can help them bounce back strong in spring. Such fertilizers are typically formulated for coolseason grasses such as fescue and bluegrass and are often best applied after the final cut of fall. Warm-season grasses go dormant in winter, so homeowners whose lawns contain these types of grasses won’t want to apply a winterizing fertilizer. Homeowners who don’t know which type of grass they have or are concerned about when to apply a winterizing fertilizer should consult with a lawncare professional before fertilizing.

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.

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.

How physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer

Breast cancer is a complex disease that a ects millions of women across the globe each year.

ough the American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that only about 4 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40, women of all ages can take steps to protect themselves against this deadly disease. Exercise bene ts women in a myriad of ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer.

e ACS notes that researchers are increasingly linking exercise to a reduced risk for breast cancer. ough the reasons behind that link remain unclear, some theorize that the positive e ects of exercise on body weight, in ammation, hormones, and energy balance could be why regular physical activity helps women reduce their risk of breast cancer.

Body weight and breast cancer

e National Cancer Institute reports that being obese a er menopause can signi cantly increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. In addition, the ACS attributes the rise in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to an increased prevalence of excessive body weight. Routine exercise is a highly e ective way to lose weight and keep weight o , which in turn could lower women’s risk for breast cancer.

Being sedentary and breast cancer

Exercise is a not a sedentary activity, and that could be another reason why women who are physically active have a lower risk for breast cancer. e ACS notes that more than one study has linked sitting time to a higher risk of various diseases, including breast cancer. Researchers with the ACS analyzed data from 77,462 women, who they followed for an average of 15.8 years. None of the participants had cancer when the study started, but researchers found that women who sat for six or more hours per day during their free time had a 10 percent greater risk for invasive breast cancer than women who sat for less than three hours per day during free time.

Does physical activity really reduce breast cancer risk?

e human body is complex, and a host of factors, including those like age that women have no control over, can a ect cancer risk. However, engaging in routine physical activity seems to be an e ective way for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer. In fact, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation estimates that one-third of all breast cancer cases could be prevented with positive lifestyle choices that help women maintain a healthy weight, including exercise.

Routine physical activity can be a signi cant weapon in women’s arsenal as they continue their e orts to prevent and overcome breast cancer.

Storing Food When ere’s No Space

During the past two years when I stocked up on grocery staples, I ended up with canned foods and dry goods stored in three di erent places around the house.

I’d have to check all three places to be sure I grabbed the green beans with the nearest expiration date. Pasta was the same. Worse was when I discovered that I wasn’t having spaghetti for dinner a er all because I’d used the last of the pasta and only thought I had one more tucked away somewhere.

Enter the internet and the wide selection of kitchen storage products available.

I wish I’d known of this two years ago: a metal stacking unit that holds 36 cans. I put it on the bu et in the dining room, all cans in easy reach around the corner from the kitchen.

Not having a pantry, I’ve pulled the hall coat closet into service, moving the hangar bar close to the ceiling and opening up the whole bottom half of the space for four rows of wire shelving and baskets for dry goods and envelopes.

And when all seems lost, when you have no pantry and no basement, when your coat closet can’t be recon gured, there are still handy places you can store food. A small bookcase will hold cans. Slide a few baskets under an end table. Cereal keepers are smaller than boxes. A row of clear canisters for envelopes will let you see what you have at a glance.

e immediate bene t of having alternate storage places is that it opens up space in your cupboards for currently used items. e box of instant rice and the jar of peanut butter will all be right in front of you.

Remember to get a black marker to write expiration dates in big letters! (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Thank you!

Recently, my husband and I went out to Texas Roadhouse restaurant to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I needed some help with him for his walker and oxygen tank cart. A lady and her family were also walking in and asked to help me. When we got inside, the wait staff helped also helped us to our seats. It was a very nice time for us. The lady and her family ended up sitting across from us, and we had friendly conversations. When she got ready to leave, she told us, "Happy anniversary. I paid for your meals." I was in disbelief and shock. I said to her, "Are you kidding?" She said no and that she paid for our meals. I still could not get over it. At the end of our meal, the servers also helped us out to our car. Wow! It was nice to see the good people still out there. Thank you! - Bonnie L.

We got a call while we were still in Walmart that they had our papers. I can't express how grateful we are to that person. It really made us realize there are still great people in the world.

Town claims no responsibility!

In January of 2022, our town’s snowplow got off course and knocked down three mailboxes in a row. Mine and that of my neighbor to the north and that of my neighbor to the south respectively. My post was taken off at ground level as was one of my neighbor’s. Their mailboxes were replaced by the town in a timely manner. Mine was overlooked for some reason that no one has explained. After numerous phone calls to the town and to the highway superintendent, the post for my mailbox was finally replaced. It only took eight months! The superintendent claimed my post was rotted (It is not), and denied responsibility for replacement, claiming it broke because it was rotted. If that is the case, why were the mailboxes to my immediate north and south also damaged? Here’s why he, and any town that claims no responsibility, is wrong. If it were a person that was crushed instead of a mailbox, would the town be liable? You’d better believe it. Town employees can’t destroy private property and not be held responsible.

Stay back from tow trucks!

On Friday morning while traveling north on the freeway, I was behind a tow truck with a small SUV on its flatbed. Suddenly, the front fender came flying off the SUV and hit my car. I did my best to avoid it, but with heavy traffic and a 30-mph wind, that fender hit my Cadillac in the front left wheel, causing damages. It happened at a split and the driver went south as I continued north to my destination. When I reached out to the tow company, he said that he would check the rear facing camera and call me back. I could not veer away as I would have caused a major accident, but obviously, this company doesn’t care. Now my insurance will go up if I call in a claim even though I did nothing wrong. Imagine if that fender had hit my windshield at 60 mph with a 30-mph wind. As a car hauler wife, I know that towing companies must check their towed vehicles for loose parts, just as car haulers do, so that this type of situation never occurs.

Cardiac Stent, While Helpful, Can Bring Risks

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old woman diagnosed with coronary artery disease. My latest calcium score was 801. My right coronary artery was 80% blocked, and the left artery was 25%. My cardiologist asked me to decide if I want to do angioplasty or not. I don’t have any symptoms, only shortness of breath on exertion. I can’t decide what to do. My cardiologist seemed against getting a stent, not that he said that exactly, but he stressed the risk of getting one. -- M.C. ANSWER: A cardiac stent is a device placed into an artery of the heart after it is re-opened, usually by a balloon in a procedure called an angioplasty. Stents help reduce the risk of the artery closing off after the procedure. In people with stable coronary artery disease, opening up a blood vessel can reduce symptoms, but has not been shown, despite many studies, to reduce risk of heart attack or death. You said you were asymptomatic, but shortness of breath is one of the major symptoms of blocked coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that provide oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. It can be very difficult at times to judge whether a person’s shortness of breath is coming from blockages in the artery or not, and stress testing can help answer whether this is likely. People can have shortness of breath on exertion for many reasons, including lung problems, anemia, lack of exercise or persistent symptoms after a COVID infection.

While the decision is ultimately up to you -- it’s your body -- it’s best if the cardiologist gives you a definite recommendation and the reasoning behind it. You can’t make an informed decision without being informed. A stent might improve your shortness of breath, but there are risks of bleeding, infection and even heart damage from a stent placement. It’s not to be undertaken lightly. If your cardiologist doesn’t feel that your shortness of breath stems from the blockages, then a stent is not likely to be helpful. Revisit with your cardiologist to get a clear idea of the potential benefit and harm specific for your case, and bring a friend or family member to assist you.

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.

• 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.

HOW TO DISCUSS A CANCER DIAGNOSIS WITH YOUR EMPLOYER

Discuss how to share the news. Once your boss and HR department has been notified, seek their input regarding how to break the news to your colleagues. If you routinely work with people across multiple departments, it may be best to inform everyone through email, as it can be exhausting to break the news to each colleague individually. But it’s also alright if you prefer to keep the diagnosis under wraps. In the latter case, it might still be wise to inform those you work with closely each day, as that can help them prepare for increased responsibilities as your treatment progresses and potentially makes it hard for you to continue working full-time. When discussing how to share the news with an HR department, be specific about how much you want to share,as you may only feel comfortable discussing details of your diagnosis with certain coworkers, such as your boss.

Batavia Pet Rescue Matters & Saves Lives

BY LORI BRUTON

Rescuing pets is important. Knowledge is power, and most people don’t know what’s happening with pets and that so many need a safe, loving home. Pets cannot speak for themselves. It’s our responsibility to look out for these little creatures that we love. ey give us unconditional love and companionship.

Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue in Batavia is a nonpro t Humane Society organization established by Jaime Medina. Medina is originally from Queens, New York. She moved to Arizona before settling in Western New York.

Medina found that Western New York had more to o er for her and has a culture that truly loves and values its pet companions. She primarily rescues and rehabilitates dogs; however, she has a connection with cat rescues, as well. It was a rare occasion when she rescued an Eastern painted turtle that she named Pat. Pat is doing well and still resides with her.

It all began nearly 20 years ago. Medina rescued Pepe, a Toy Manchester Terrier, from a shelter in 2003. He became the inspiration for Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue. Pepe acted as the papa dog, mentoring every dog that was taken in and teaching them how to behave.

Some dogs get adopted if it is in their best interest and if they can be matched with the right owner. Senior pets stay at the pet rescue sanctuary with Medina, especially if adoption would not be best, which depends on such things as the dog’s background, temperament, age, and how well the dog would or would not adjust. Not only does Medina rescue pets and place them in new homes, but she also trains dogs while educating and helping people learn about basic pet care and e ective methods of correcting unwanted behaviors.

Medina’s goal is to nd responsible, kind people who are looking for animals and deter those same people from buying pets from backyard breeders. ere are several homeless pets in Phoenix, especially chihuahuas. In fact, there is an overpopulation of pets in that area.

It’s like a matchmaker service for pets. Medina matches the right pet with therightownersobothhumanandpetwillthrive. ishappensbyplacing animals from di erent areas in good homes. Whether the pet is homeless or in a shelter, it can be matched by size and breed to the pet seeker who wants to adopt according to their home situation.

In order for this to happen, Medina requires funds and help from Phoenix to have the dog released, assure proper vetting, and obtain a health certi cate to bring the pet to New York. Unfortunately, the pandemic put a damper on her progress in this area. She couldn’t get grants, funding, or donations.

“If each person could help one animal, it would make a big di erence,” said Medina.

Maybe a neighbor is struggling to buy dog food. Ask how you can help. Donate to a local rescue, shelter, or private pet owner. Drop o food to dog

shelters or drop o supplies like dog pads, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. Dog food prices are high. Keeping enough on hand is a challenge, especially for large dogs.

Large dogs is where Goardy comes in. Medina called him her “boyfriend dog.” He was a pitbull great dane mix that she rescued when she lived in Arizona. Goardy rode with her everywhere. He would hold her hand in the car while she was driving. is large dog was an ambassador for her rescue organization until he passed away.

Contrary to popular belief, Medina states that pitbulls are a wonderful breed of dog as long as they are well-trained and handled properly. You may remember the TV show, e Little Rascals. e dog on that show was an American Pitbull Terrier named Petey. Goardy trained other dogs and people, showing them that pitbulls can be good dogs. He let people pet him and love on him. He was a learning tool for the community. Goardy helped save the lives of many pitbulls.

According to Medina, the key to rescuing an animal is providing security, trust, and love. Being a pet owner is a responsibility that you need to be ready for. One shouldn’t get a pet just because it’s cute. Animals are living creatures that have needs and feelings such as food, security, direction, and socialization.

If you need help with your animals, reach out to someone who can guide you. Basic care is important. Education and training are available. It’s also important to get your pets spayed and neutered.

e bond and attachment humans have with pets is special. Medina said it’s hard to see the pets go when they get their forever home, but she o en stays in touch with the new owners.

Anyone seeking to rescue a pet and give it a good home can rest assured the right match is waiting for them. Rescuing can save lives, including yours. If you need a faithful friend, reach out and connect with Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue. All the animals are Pepe’s kids. His legacy lives on.

PUMPKIN PICKING: Much like apple picking is best in fall, so is pumpkin picking. Rather than buying your Halloween pumpkin from the grocery store, where your options may be limited, go straight to the source and pick your future jack-o’-lantern from a nearby pumpkin patch, which will provide a much wider selection. Let your youngsters pick their own pumpkins and then spend the rest of the day carving them at home. And don’t forget to save those seeds, which can be roasted over an open flame to make a delicious snack.

Online POLL

Autumn has officially descended upon Western New York, and its flavors are in full swing.

As the apple cider vs. pumpkin spice debate continues, what side do you “fall” on?

• Apply cider all the way!

• Pumpkin spice for the win!

• Neither Poll Ends 10-11-22

Poll Ends 10-04-22

on or holding the eye dropper directly over her eye will freak her out. Instead, keep her comfortable and unaware of the dropper until the very last moment. Here’s how:

-- Approach her from the side, and pet her into a sitting position, giving lots of praise. If she is a large dog, have a friend cradle her from the side or stand behind her, placing your legs behind her shoulders so she can’t back up. If she is small, cradle her until she is calm.

• Cup one hand below Maisie’s chin so you can gently li her head upward.

• Quickly wipe the eyes clean using a damp cotton ball or cloth.

• Unscrew the eyedropper top or have a friend do it where Maisie can’t see.

• Li her head and gently tug down her lower eyelid.

• Bring the eye dropper up and hold it at an angle to the eye so it’s close but not directly in her view.

• Gently tug her upper eyelid upward and quickly put a drop into the eye, being careful not to touch the eye.

• Repeat with the other eye.

• Wipe away excess medicine with a clean cotton ball.

• Give Maisie a treat right away She deserves it!

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance

With the stars up above in your eyes

And all the leaves on the trees are falling

To the sound of the breezes that blow

And I’m trying to please to the calling

Of your heartstrings that play soft and low...

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

Dining Positions Available

Full-time & Part-time Dining Service Positions

* A Tip From JoAnn: I like bottled water, but it’s expensive and creates a lot of waste. I have plenty of reusable bottles, but bottled water always seemed more convenient and, frankly, better. I found that what I really like is to take a bottle of very cold water out of the fridge and drink it, so instead of storing those reusable bottles in the cabinet, I fill them straight from the dishwasher and put them in the fridge. Now I have the convenience of bottled water without spending the money, and I happily am not creating waste.

* To remove stubborn contact paper from kitchen shelves, use a hair dryer set on low to loosen the adhesive. Peel away slowly.

* Here’s a trick for removing hardwater stains on windows or glass doors: Apply full-strength fabric softener to surface. Let dry, then use a wet cloth to remove, rinsing the cloth frequently.

* “Hang a bag of clothespins near the laundry basket. Then if something has a stain that needs to be addressed, put a clip on it before adding it to the basket. This way, you’ll know what to pretreat on wash day.” -- D.W. in Washington

* “To keep pants on a hanger from creasing, I slit a paper towel cardboard roll and slip it over the hanger. I tape it together and then put the pants over it. This has worked for me for many years.” -I.R. in Nebraska

* Got a grease stain on your shirt? Cover it with baking soda right away. The baking soda will absorb oil. Repeat several times and launder as quickly as you can.
