Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love — that makes life and nature harmonize. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a pefect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

Mind your own business and Judge not lest ye be judged
My best friend of thirty years recently went through a divorce (I’d say sad, bitter, nasty, but all the adjectives seem obvious and unnecessary) and all but a few of her friends have left her, not wishing to “pick sides” or not wanting to be involved with either party for fear of contamination. Truly so many people are divorced nowadays, why does anyone treat another like a leper? She’s a strong woman, keeping her head high, trying to do her best for herself and her children, even as the world now seems so cold, lonely, and harsh against her just because her marriage didn’t last. Come on, people. Help lift each other up. Don’t tear people down when they’re already feeling so low.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
By S
TREATING A CAT’S INGROWN TOENAIL
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I don’t know how it happened, because I check and trim my cat’s nails regularly. Today, “Sparks” cried out in pain when I checked his right paw, and that’s when, on closer inspection, I saw that one of the middle claws had grown around, down and into the pad of his paw! How did I miss it? And what can I do to fix this? -- Sharon in Bennington, Vermont
DEAR SHARON: Cats are very good at hiding illness and injury. Plus, some cats have longer tu s of fur growing between their claws, and this can obscure nail problems. Add that to the routine struggle of trimming a cat’s nails while they wriggle and nip at you to try and escape, and it’s surprisingly easy to miss a claw or two.
Have a partner help you by gently holding your cat in a comfortable position while you inspect his paw more closely. Use a magnifying glass to get a better look at the ingrown claw. If the claw has not penetrated the skin of your cat’s pad -- it may be pushing against the skin -- you should be able to safely trim the nail away from the pad. Use sturdy nail nippers made for cats, and trim only a small part of the nail -- enough to release the pressure on the pad. Revisit the nail in two days to trim it back further, and monitor closely from now on.
However, if the claw has penetrated the skin, removing it can be painful and stressful for your cat. Make an appointment with the veterinarian, who will be able to numb the area slightly, trim the claw, and remove the part remaining in the pad while preventing infection.

KIDS AND SLEEP
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Having Surgery for a Hernia Could Be Riskier Than Living With It
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an 85-year-old man. I’m in good health, and I exercise and swim at the gym for 3 hours every other day. I am not overweight, and the only prescription I have is a nose spray. I do have mild idiopathic neuropathy, but I’m still quite agile and mobile. I have a hernia in my lower abdomen. I had one just like it on the right side that was repaired 35 years ago. My family doctor seems to think that having surgery at my age could be riskier than living with the hernia. The pain isn’t terrible, but it is frequently uncomfortable. Should I consider surgery? --
C.E.K.
ANSWER: You should consider it to the point where you consult a surgeon. The operative risk is relatively small, and despite your age, it sounds like you are in good shape. However, after consulting with a surgeon, you may decide against surgery. The most important factor is how much the pain from the hernia bothers you. In general, we recommend surgical repair for symptomatic hernias, as the pain tends to gradually increase over years. No surgery comes without a risk, and your family doctor is right that it is riskier to have the surgery than it would be to live with the pain. But the risk is not enormous, so if the pain is to the point where the hernia is bothering you a lot, it is certainly worth discussing the risks and benefits of surgery with an expert surgeon.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I saw a post somewhere saying that we should throw away all vitamins or supplements with magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide or microcrystalline cellulose. This means I would need to discard vitamins, antacids, and even my glucose tabs that I occasionally need for reactive hypoglycemia. Do you have any guidance on this? -- L.D.
ANSWER: In 1538, a Swiss physician with the pseudonym “Paracelsus” articulated the basic premise of toxicology: The dose makes the poison. This remains critical today.
Magnesium stearate is commonly used in food, cosmetics and medicines. It is generally regarded as safe at doses below 175 grams for an average-sized adult. A typical supplement might contain as much as 20 mg. It would take well over 8,000 doses at once for a person to reach a dangerous level.
Titanium dioxide is used as a food coloring, in sunscreen, and in medications like styptic pencils. It has long been considered safe in the United States and Canada. But its status in Europe has recently been changed, so it is no longer recommended as a food additive. The tiny doses of it in medications and dietary supplements are very unlikely to cause harm, but many manufacturers in the U.S. are beginning to stop using it, more due to perception than proven harm (which there is no evidence for).
Microcrystalline cellulose is simply an indigestible fiber source made from wood pulp. It is not absorbed. It is used in many foods and as a filler in tablets and capsules. You can also buy it as a supplement or use it as a thickener in cooking. I don’t have any concerns with magnesium stearate or microcrystalline cellulose at the kinds of doses used in pharmaceuticals and supplements. I also don’t have any concern with food-grade titanium dioxide as a coloring agent in food or supplements.
School-aged children are busier than ever before, and some may be sacrificing sleep to accommodate their lifestyles. The National Sleep Foundation says school-aged children need between nine and 11 hours of sleep each night to function at a healthy level. Sleep deprivation can be linked to a host of health ailments, including issues affecting the development of the brain. Growing evidence suggests that lack of sleep can cause disturbances in metabolic rates that could affect the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. A recent study from Johns Hopkins University found that, for each additional hour of sleep a child gets, the risk of that child becoming overweight or obese decreases by 9 percent. Children who slept the least, according to the research, had a 92 percent higher risk of being overweight or obese compared to children with longer sleep duration. The NSF adds that poor or inadequate sleep can lead to mood swings, behavioral problems and cognitive problems that impact kids’ ability to learn in school. To promote good sleep habits in children, parents and other caregivers can establish consistent sleep/ wake routines; ensure children avoid excess caffeine, particularly late in the day; create a cool, dark sleep environment; keep televisions and other media devices out of bedrooms; and help children work through stressors that may impact sleep.
But it’s important that homeowners recognize the many benefits of working with professional contractors before making any final decisions with regard to who will tackle their next project.
BENEFITS OF HIRING PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS
Experience: Atrialanderrorapproachcanworkwithvariousprojects and problems. But applying such an approach to home improvement projects is risky and potentially dangerous, not to mention costly. Experienced professional contractors with strong track records (seek recommendations from friends or neighbors) won’t have to go through trial and error and are therefore more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time and on budget.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE
Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* The world’s shortest escalator is the one in the basement of the More’s Department Store in the city of Kawasaki, Japan. It’s 33 inches tall and has only five steps.
STRAWBERRY-GLAZED FRENCH TOAST WITH SWEETENED SOUR CREAM Serves 4
• 8 1-inch-thick bread slices, cut from a country or peasant loaf
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 4 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, plus 1/2 teaspoon
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves (see note 2)
1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until dry and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes per side. Watch carefully so that the bread does not burn. Remove the bread from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, egg yolks, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish works well). Add the
toasted bread slices and soak them 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate or platter.
3. Place a large, heavy frying pan over low to medium heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of the butter, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. When melted, add enough bread slices to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook slowly until the slices are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and place in the warm oven. Repeat, adding more butter to the pan as needed until all the bread slices have been sautéed.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
5. When ready to serve, spread each toast with a thin coating of strawberry jam and top with a dollop of sweetened sour cream.
Note 1: The best bread for this dish is an unsliced loaf of good-quality peasant or country bread, preferably one without an extra-hard crust. One that is rectangular, rather than round, is more convenient, but either will do. Cut off the ends of the loaf, and reserve for another use. Then slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. If your loaf is large and the slices seem large, cut them in half.
Note 2: You can try other jams, preserves or marmalades. Cherry, raspberry or peach preserves and orange marmalade are other possibilities.
Ahiddenfireburnsperpetuallyupon the hearth of the world.... In autumn this great conflagration becomes especially manifest. Then the flame that is slowly and mysteriously consuming every green thing bursts into vivid radiance. Every blade of grass and every leaf in the woodlands is cast into the great oven of Nature; and the bright colours of their fading are literally the flames of their consuming. The golden harvest-fields are glowing in the heart of the furnace.... By this autumn fire God every year purges the floor of nature. All effete substances that have served their purposeintheoldformareburntup.
Everywhere God makes sweet and clean the earth with fire.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.
Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.
The American Psychological Association notes that stressful work environments can contribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they need to get by, they might think it’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.

Lindsay Agness and Her Lifelong Passion for Fly Fishing
BY SUZIE WELLS
Lindsay Agness’ journey into the world of fishing began on Honeoye Lake in New York, where her grandfather introduced her to the peaceful yet thrilling art of angling. Her childhood memories are filled with days spent spin fishing for panfish in the Finger Lakes, a passion that later blossomed into a lifelong commitment to the sport of fly fishing. Today, Lindsay is not only a New York State Licensed Fishing Guide, but she also plays an influential role in various fishing and conservation organizations across the state.
Lindsay’s career reflects a perfect fusion of passion and dedication. As a guide, her expertise shines when she’s fishing for Brown Trout and Steelhead in her home waters, although her travels have taken her and her husband, Dave, to fish as far away as Mexico and Alaska.
Her love for the sport is evident, but it’s her commitment to giving back that truly sets her apart. In 2022, Lindsay was inducted into the New York State Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame for her exceptional contributions to outdoor sports and conservation efforts. is honor reflected her lifelong devotion to sharing her knowledge with others and preserving the outdoor heritage she loves so much.
Education is another major pillar in Lindsay’s legacy. Serving as Vice President for youth education on the board of the New York State Council of Trout Unlimited, she has been a fierce advocate for youth involvement in the sport. From mentoring chapters across the state to acting as a camp counselor at the TU Teen Trout Camp and working across the state as a champion for the TU Costa 5 Rivers College fishing clubs, Lindsay is passionate about passing down her skills and knowledge to younger generations. Her work with the “Trout in the Classroom” program, and her role in earning Girl Scouts their Fly Fishing STREAM badges, demonstrate her commitment to making the sport accessible and enjoyable for children.
