A LOOK AT THE OLDEST HALLOWEEN TRADITION

Bonﬁre: Historians trace many traditions of Halloween to a Celtic holiday known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts lived 2,000 years ago in parts of what is now Northern France, Great Britain and Ireland.

During Samhain, people believed that the door between the worlds of the living and the dead was blurred. On Samhain, Celts believed the ghosts of the dead returned. Also, Druids made predictions about the future at this time of year. It was customary to build large, sacred bonﬁres and burn crops and other sacriﬁces to the Celtic deities.

While large bonﬁres are not typically part of Halloween celebrations today, revelers can light ﬁre pits in their yards that are reminiscent of ancient celebrations.

Echoes of Halloween Night

By Ruth E. Staly, Shortsville

Oh, what an eerie night this is As the moon hides behind the trees.

Casting a glow sure to chill your bones, While the trees bend forth with the breeze Alas the little ones still lurk

LEAF PEEPING PLANNING GUIDE

From behind each tree they peek. Running together from house to house, a bag full of riches they seek. My doorbell rings, I jump to my feet. not knowing what I shall ﬁnd.

Ever so slowly I open my door to see what is lurking behind “Trick or Treat” came the voice of an Angel.

Beware of her twinkling eye. en a long hairy hand slipped over my wrist, “BOO”, and I jumped toward the sky.

OH, For the demons and devils, e beast with the long hairy hand.

It’s the love and laughter that brings us together, And echoes throughout the land.

Some regions are particularly known for their leaf displays. New York’s Catskill and Adirondack regions are prime spots for visitors in the autumn. Those who live further north will ﬁnd that leaves in Vermont are such an attraction that routes are published indicating where to enjoy the best views. Further south, Central and Eastern Virginia peak in late October. And don’t forget the shores of the Great Lakes, which are awash in reds, oranges and yellows by mid-September.

real estate

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to ﬁx these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.

STAY SAFE ON THE TRAILS THIS FALL

Fall hikes offer crisp air and colorful views, but safety is key to making the most of your time outdoors. One of the most important tips is to wear proper footwear. Trails can be slippery with fallen leaves or early frost, so opt for sturdy hiking boots with ankle support and good traction. Wool socks will help keep your feet dry and warm.

Also, be sure to stay fueled and hydrated. It may be cooler, but your body still needs water and energy. Bring a reﬁllable water bottle and pack snacks like trail mix or energy bars to keep your stamina up.

And always respect the environment. Stick to marked trails, pack out your trash, and never feed wildlife. These small actions help protect natural habitats for future hikers. With some planning, fall hikes can be both beautiful and

Halloween pet

Apple bobbing is one autumn tradition that involves the use of apples. Despite the popularity of apple bobbing around Halloween, some historians believe the tradition of bobbing for apples is rooted in love and romance and has little to do with trick-or-treating. According to History.com, apple bobbing began as a courting ritual. While the rules of the game varied, the idea was to attempt to bite into the apple named for the young man the woman desired. This method of courting eventually became less popular, but bobbing for apples was resurrected in the early 20th century when Americans who traced their roots to Ireland and England began playing the game at Halloween parties.

safety is a paramount concern

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please warn your readers to keep their cats indoors on Halloween night! I’ve heard too many stories of cats disappearing or being injured by people with ill intentions -- especially black cats. -- Francis in Des Moines, Iowa

DEAR FRANCIS: It’s a good a idea to keep cats indoors every night, but yes, they face additional threats to their safety on Halloween. The biggest danger is from cars -- trafﬁc is heavier during peak trick-or-treating hours, around sunset. Frequent opening and closing of the front door is another danger: As owners hand out treats in the doorway, their cat may take the opportunity to run outside -- often right into the busy street.

Halloween safety extends to all the pets in the household. Cats are not likely to get into the big bowl of candy near the doorway, but dogs may be fascinated by the wrappers and lovely aromas. If owners don’t keep watch, their dog may overturn the bowl and begin gobbling up chocolate or sugar-free candies that contain xylitol -- an ingredient that is poisonous to them.

While pranksters harming cats (and other pets) can happen, a much more concerning fact is that many people adopt black cats for Halloween, only to abandon them afterward for one reason or another -- they’re too expensive to take care of, their apartment management doesn’t allow pets, and so on. Impulsive adoptions are a bigger risk.

So keep your pets safe on Halloween by placing them in a separate room during the busiest part of trick-or-treating, or duringaparty.Andmakesurethecandystaysoutof theirreach.

Halloween is certainly known for the spooky decorations that adorn homes and for the creative costumes children put on to canvas the neighborhood.But for many youngsters,Halloween is all about the candy. In just a few hours,trick-or-treaters can accumulate a substantial amount of assorted chocolates, confections and other sweet treats. Once everyone has had their fill of their favorite items, candy often gets relegated to a giant bowl on the kitchen table, where it beckons each resident who passes by.

Rather than submitting to the call of the candy and sacrificing your dental health as a result, enterprising individuals can repurpose that leftover Halloween candy.

What colors are used in Día de los Muertos?

This holiday uses the colors yellow and orange to portray marigolds, the sun, and light. Marigolds and their strong scent and bright colors are thought to their way back home.

November 2

The ancient indigenous people of Mexico have practiced rituals celebrating the lives of past ancestors for around 3,000 years. The celebration that is now known as the Day of the Dead originally landed on the ninth month of the Aztec calendar and was observed for the entire month. In the 20th century, the month long festivities were condensed to three days called The Days of the Dead: Halloween on October 31, Day of the Innocents on November 1, and Day of the Dead on November 2.

Student Academic Features

I enjoy reading the Genesee Valley Penny Saver so much. I do all the puzzles and read every article with interest. As a retired teacher, I especially enjoy the articles about students and their achievements. This week there was an article about Lyla Jones from LeRoy Central School. Without the article in the GVPS, this young lady would not be recognized outside of her community for her success. Now so many more people can celebrate Lyla’s talent.

Community Support for Microfarming

Thank you so much to the Lima community for celebrating agriculture with us at the Pumpkin Festival! Compared to some local outlooks, your willingness to interact, ask questions, and appreciate the value of small ag in our changing economy was a complete breath of fresh air. Keep it up! It was a wonderful festival with a wonderful crowd.

ank You, Sierra!

At the end of August, I was mowing my lawn and disturbed a nest of ground wasps. I was stung many times around my right eye. Within 10 minutes, my face swelled up and my eye closed. I applied ice and Benadryl according to my doctor’s instructions. But at midnight, I awoke with difﬁculty breathing and shaking and called 911 for myself for the ﬁrst time in my life. Sierra set an IV to administer meds that saved my life. Thank you doesn’t even come close to my gratitude! I’m a Grandma of 9 and glad to still be here for them and my 3 children! Praise to the calm driver as well, though I didn’t get her name.

Town Board Meetings

How sad that in a small town with a few thousand people in it, only 10 or so show up to a town board meeting. This is your town, your home, your community. Don’t you care about what is currently happening or the future of it? If you’re a younger family, I read something recently that stuck with me and maybe it will for you too: “I don’t know who needs to hear this but we are the new adults. We are responsible for participating in creating community events, programs, attending school board meetings, etc. so when you say things aren’t how they used to be, it’s because you aren’t doing your part.”

Pu ing kids in danger

I work as a sub as a cafeteria monitor. I noticed several pre-K students standing on the seats while they were there for lunch. When I approached them and asked them to sit down before they fell, their teacher, who was there with the teacher’s aid, told me “I got them” and continued to let them do this. This is unacceptable. What will they do next year? They need to learn now. The teacher should want to keep them safe. What would parents think if they knew this?

How One Mother Honored Loss Through a Meaningful Legacy

BY VIVIEN REED

Loss is never easy. Sometimes it comes in a sudden, life-altering moment. Other times, it unfolds slowly and painfully. While each experience is diﬀerent, what remains constant is the impact it leaves behind.

Pregnancy and infant loss is far more common than many realize, aﬀecting as many as one in four women. For some, the loss happens so early on, they may not even know they were pregnant. For others, like local Rochester mom and business owner, Jen Chappell, the loss occurs a er full-term labor and delivery.

Jen and her husband, John, are parents to Judah (14), Brooklyn (12), Parker (7), and Cooper, their third child, whose life ended at 38 weeks.

Jen’s pregnancy was relatively smooth until about 33 weeks, when Jen was told she had “more than normal” amniotic ﬂuid. She remembers, “ ey told me it was ﬁne. ey’d just monitor me a little more closely, and they said it would be okay.”

She began going in for monitoring up to three times a week, and by 38 weeks, induction was scheduled. At

her ﬁnal appointment, they checked Cooper’s heartbeat and performed a routine internal exam. Jen felt him move suddenly but didn’t yet know it would be the last time.

She was then moved to another room, where they placed a heartbeat monitor on her belly. is time, they couldn’t ﬁnd a heartbeat, a shock Jen wasn’t prepared for. Jen and John later learned that Cooper died due to a knot in his umbilical cord. e internal exam likely startled him, triggering a burst of movement. e intense movement Jen felt was Cooper ﬁghting for his life.

“ at moment changed me forever,” she says. “ e person who walked out of that room was not the same person who walked in. I will grieve for him for the rest of my life. And yet, I also know he changed me, how I see the world, how I love, and ultimately, he made me better.”

Grief calls to grief, and in the months that followed, Jen looked for meaningful ways to honor Cooper’s memory and express her sorrow. She discovered October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and she decided to make a pink and blue friendship bracelet to wear throughout the entire month.

She says, “I wore it all month long. And anytime someone asked me about it, I would tell them about Cooper. e bracelet brought me comfort. It gave me a way to talk about our baby and share our story.”

e following year, she invited friends and family to join her in making and wearing pink and blue bracelets. Word spread quickly; more and more people wanted bracelets. By 2019, volunteers began pouring in from all over the country, each wanting to support grieving families and bring awareness to silent heartbreak.

From that outpouring, e Pink and Blue Awareness Project began alongside e Cooper Project, which sells personalized items like necklaces and mugs to help honor lost babies.

Today, e Pink and Blue Awareness Project is a nationwide eﬀort. Since 2017, more than 95,000 bracelets have been distributed. With support from sponsors and volunteers, the organization sends out around 35,000 bracelets each October to families, hospitals, and businesses. One of Jen’s favorite parts of the process is that each bracelet shipment includes a baby memorial card. Each volunteer adds a baby’s name to the card, a powerful tribute to lives that, though brief, are never forgotten.

Loss is hard to talk about. It’s deeply personal. For those on the outside, it can be hard to know what to say. One of the most healing things for Jen was being able to talk about Cooper and acknowledge that her loss was real.

share their stories openly, to be seen and heard in their grief, and to connect with others who understand.

Jen’s biggest hope is that no family ever feels alone. “I want to give grieving mothers and families hope,” she says.

For Jen’s family and for thousands of others, October is more than just another month. It’s a time of remembrance, a time to honor. She says, “I want October to be known for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness. I want to proudly remember my son Cooper and all the babies who are no longer here.”

Wearing a bracelet or volunteering time may seem like small acts, but in times of grief, they can mean everything. It says You are not alone

A Message of Hope

To anyone walking through the pain of pregnancy or infant loss, Jen oﬀers this message: “You’re going to get through this. It may feel like you’ll never feel normal again, that joy or hope will never return, but you will make it through. And your baby will never be forgotten.”

Gift giving this year?

A show of hands, please: How many of us are already in a panic about just how we’re going to give holiday gifts to our family and friends this year? With the costs of everything seeming to go up by the day, how are we going to manage to stretch our budgets to include gifts?

And why do we want to, given our circumstances? Because we always have. Because it’s expected. Because it makes us feel good. Because we want to maintain the relationships we’ve had. Whatever our reasons for wanting to give gifts, it’s going to be tough this year. But it can be done with a bit of thought.

If you search on the internet for “gift giving on a budget,” you’ll ﬁnd thousands of ideas. Most of them seem to fall into one of three categories: experiences, time and love.

A family movie night can be an experience the grandkids long remember. Borrow a selection of age appropriate movies from the library, make popcorn, buy drinks and order pizza. Or ask the local bowling alley about a family price for a few hours of lane time.

Then there’s the gift of time. Give a personalized coupon book you’ve made, good for a special outing, a home cooked meal, gardening help in the spring or hours of child care.

Best of all might well be the gift of love when you make your gifts: a platter of holiday treats, inexpensive glass jars ﬁlled with homemade candies, winter hats you knitted, a small bundle of favorite recipes you’ve printed on 3x5 cards. The dollar store offers many ideas such as picture frames you decorate and ﬁll with family photos or artwork. Look for items to create themed gift baskets.

Around and around the house the leaves fall thick—but never fast, for they come circling down with a dead lightness that is sombre and slow. Let the gardener sweep and sweep the turf as he will, and press the leaves into full barrows, and wheel them off, still they lie ankle-deep.

Understanding the Risk Reduction of Statins With Cholesterol

DEAR DR. ROACH: A cardiologist recently suggested that I should consider taking a statin because of my “borderline” cholesterol level. So, I took a dive into the details of statin therapy. I learned that although statins are thought to reduce the chance of a cardiovascular event by up to 50%, the actual reduction is very small. I presented this information to the cardiologist and decided to forego statin therapy, which he endorsed. A better understanding of this difference would be very valuable to your readers. -- T.G.

ANSWER: The amount of absolute risk reduction from a statin in a person without known heart disease depends mostly on a person’s absolute risk of heart disease. This depends on the person’s risk factors such as age, sex, blood pressure, cholesterol level, smoking status, family history, and others. (When a person already has known heart disease, then the beneﬁts of a statin are so large that this kind of analysis isn’t generally done.)

The relative risk reduction from a statin depends on the potency and dose of a statin, but a typically used number is about a relative risk reduction of 20%. (A 50% relative risk reduction isn’t achievable with the current medication.)

I normally go through this analysis with every patient when considering a statin, and it starts with estimating their absolute risk prior to treatment. There are several calculators to give an estimate; I usually use tinyurl.com/PREVENTCalc and adjust it for any risk factors that are not considered by the calculator. (I should add that some people have difﬁculty understanding these numbers and simply ask me about my opinion, which is ﬁne, but I prefer to work collegially.)

For example, a 75-year-old man who has a cholesterol level of 220 mg/dL and an HDL of 45 mg/dL with a blood pressure of 140/80 mmHg (all of which might be considered “borderline”), the calculator gives an estimated absolute risk of 19.4%. This is the risk of this person developing any kind of obstructive heart disease, including a heart attack or death, during the next 10 years.

With a statin, a reasonable guess would be a drop of about 20% of the absolute risk (19.4% in this case), meaning a drop to 15.5%. The relative risk reduction is 20%, but the absolute risk reduction for this person is 3.9%.

A second example is a 50-year-old woman with the exact same numbers who has an absolute risk reduction of 3.6%. She would get the same 20% reduction, but this is only a 0.72% drop for a new absolute risk of 2.88%.

Clinicians and epidemiologists use another number called the “number needed to treat” (NNT), which is a function of the absolute risk reduction. In the examples above, about 26 75-year-old men would need to be treated for 10 years to prevent a case of heart attack or death, while 139 50-year-old women would need to be treated to prevent one case.

The benefit of a statin or any other treatment to reduce heart disease depends on how much risk a person has to begin with. Whether this benefit is “worth it” to any given person depends not only on the absolute benefit, but also on their aversion to medicine and their level of worry about heart disease.

The cost of a statin ($5 or $10 a month) isn’t a big consideration for most. Serious side effects to statins are rare, but if they occur, there are alternatives.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

WHEN CAN KIDS TRICK-OR-TREAT WITHOUT AN ADULT?

Judge the neighborhood critically. Neighborhoods also can be a factor to consider. What may be a safe environment during the day may no longer be so safe when darkness descends and children are unchaperoned. If parents recognize the neighborhood tows the line between being safe and dangerous, they may want to push off trick-or-treating alone until their children are older. But even the neighborhoods parents would characterize as “safe” are not invulnerable to safety issues.It pays to check where registered child predators live nearby, and that information is available to the public in most areas.
