PREPARE VEHICLES FOR HARSH WEATHER
Old batteries should be replaced before winter begins. Without a strong, properly functioning battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and five years. However, extreme cold can compromise batteries, especially those that have been around awhile. Batteries are made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery performance. According to AAA’s Automotive Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses 35 percent of its strength.
Newer batteries can be protected by starting the vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you cannot take an extended drive.

Is It Time to Add More Space to Your Home?
If your home feels more cramped than cozy, it might be time to consider a room addition. One of the clearest signs is increasing clutter. If papers, toys, or storage bins are taking over your living space, an addition can provide the extra square footage needed to restore a sense of order. A new room can make everyday life feel calmer and more organized.
Another signal is entertaining limitations. If your current layout makes it hard to host family or friends, expanding a kitchen or living area might be the solution. Whether you’re looking for a better flow during gatherings or more seating space, a well-planned addition can help your home better fit your lifestyle.

WHEN
Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines.
Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it.
Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’Neath the cover of October skies 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...

Compost
One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt insulation. This type of mineral wool insulation makes installation simple. All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place. The insulation will help improve energy efficiency as soon as it’s in place and provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R-50 or a depth of 16 inches.

Fairport and Perinton Celebrate Erie Canal Bicentennial
BY SUZIE WELLS
Two hundred years a er the first shovels of dirt were turned for the Erie Canal, Fairport and Perinton prepare to honor the waterway that transformed their community with a familyfriendly celebration and historic flotilla.
On Sunday, September 28, from 1 to 4 p.m., Perinton Park will host the town’s official bicentennial event, in collaboration between the Fairport Partnership, Town of Perinton, Village of Fairport, and the Fairport-Perinton Merchants Association.
e a ernoon will feature food trucks, music, children’s games, Arlene’s Face Paint, Adventures in Climbing inflatables, and historical sessions. Around 3 p.m., the much-anticipated flotilla will pass Perinton Park before docking in the Village of Fairport.
e Perinton Historical Society President, Vicki Masters Profitt, emphasizes the excitement surrounding the boats’ arrival. e flotilla will leave Pittsford around 2 p.m. and reach Fairport between 3 and 4 p.m., with Fairport’s own Colonial Belle, Pittsford’s Sam Patch, Rochester’s Riverie, and the new Tom Grosso, joining the Seneca Chief—a replica of the packet boat that carried Governor DeWitt Clinton on his 1825 “wedding of the waters” voyage. With tug and push boats accompanying the group, as well as invited pleasure boats expected to join, Profitt raves, “It’ll be a real flotilla. It’s historic, it’s exciting.”
e Seneca Chief will remain docked in Fairport for tours on Sunday, September 28, from 4 to 7 p.m., and Monday, September 29, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the Fairport Partnership. Big Ditch Brewing will sponsor the visits, offering tastings of its Long Haul Honey Lager. Additional events include the dedication of the Tom Grosso Memorial Parklet and christening of the Tom Grosso tugboat on Monday morning. e flotilla will depart Fairport on Tuesday, September 30, at 9 a.m.
For Perinton and Fairport, the bicentennial is more than a party; it is a reflection on the canal’s central role in their story. Helen King, writing for the Perinton Historical Society’s Perinton Papers, traced the canal’s vision back to the late 18th century, when George Washington ordered the first survey. Despite skepticism from leaders including omas Jefferson, who dismissed the project as “physically impossible,” New Yorkers persisted. Surveyor James Geddes’ 1816 map eventually charted the canal’s course, including its crossing through Perinton’s Irondequoit Valley.

e canal’s completion in 1825 transformed the hamlet of Perrinsville, later renamed Fairport, into what the Perinton Town Historian describes as “a booming canal town,” which eclipsed the hamlet of Egypt as well as canal settlements of Knapp’s Bridge, Fullam’s Basin, and Hartwell’s (Bushnell’s) Basin. e historian notes that the canal was quite beneficial, draining the Village of Fairport of its unhealthy swamps, and providing a “natural highway for farmers to bring produce to the canal” by way of the new north-south route through the village.
“It’ll be a real flotilla. It’s historic, it’s exciting.”
VICKI MASTERS PROFITT, PRESIDENT OF THE PERINTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY
e growth was dramatic. Fairport benefitted not only from canal traffic but also from the railroad’s arrival in 1853, making it a leading center of transportation and industry in Upstate New York. Transport by canal was much more efficient than transport by land, and a wide variety of industries clustered along the canal here as across the state. Businesses such as the DeLand Chemical Works and Cobb Preserving Company thrived because of the waterway’s accessibility. As King’s research highlights, packet boats once carried passengers up to 30 miles in one day, with fares notably as low as 25 cents to travel from Fairport to Lockport, including meals. News spread more quickly by water than by land in those days, so the Western NY area became much more connected to the world than its frontier recent past.
e canal also changed daily life in Perinton. Stables and barns supported the horses and mules that towed boats, while schools, churches, and services grew to meet the needs of the expanding settler community. Philanthropic industrialists including the DeLands, Taylors, and Potters funded institutions that shaped civic life.
Nicknamed “Clinton’s Ditch,” the original canal was expanded in 1841 and incorporated into the Barge Canal system in 1905. It opened Western New York to commerce and connected this region to the world.
Today, the Erie Canal continues to define Fairport’s identity, from its bustling waterfront businesses to its popular festivals. e bicentennial celebration is a reminder of how the canal shaped the past and how it continues to unite the community. For Fairport and Perinton, two centuries of history come full circle on the waterway that made them a “fair port” indeed.

Poem of the Week
Thank you, Mr. Adam’s, for brightening my day. My week had progressed quite badly, then your poem “gave someone that special lift.” Kudos for your heart lifting poem.
ank You!
On August 4th I tripped over some uneven pavement during my walk and took a nasty fall. A wonderful woman named Lisa stopped and drove me home .I believe I would not have been able to have walked home. I just wanted to express my gratitude. Come to find out that I had a broken wrist. Several people also stopped. So thankful that I live in a village where people truly care about one another.
Whiskey7 Warplane
A big thank you to the Geneseo Walmart, and the artist, Kelly Sheridan, for the gorgeous mural of the Whiskey7 warplane that adorns the entryway to the store...always a beautiful site to see in the air, too!
Recently I was at a meeting when the subject of ambulances came up. Someone said the ambulance is coming back to our area again. Some were not happy to hear that because of the money charged to take someone to the hospital. Someone said it cost him $250 per trip. Another said it cost him $350 per trip. Another said it cost him $500 per trip. It’s unbelievable the prices the ambulance company charges people. The sad part of all this is that they charge people money regardless of whether they can pay or not. They do not give a person a break in what they charge. No matter how poor you are, they don’t care. www.featuredmedia.com

Right in the middle of the Village
It’s honestly embarrassing how one local business can bring down the entire look of our village. The amount of junk piling up outside is completely unacceptable—right in the middle of town for everyone to see. This isn’t just an eyesore; it shows a lack of respect for the community and the people who live here. We all work hard to take pride in our homes and neighborhood—why should one business be allowed to drag the whole place down? Something needs to be done. This is not the image we want to project. It is turning into a visible junkyard, and they keep adding more. Boats, sheds, RVs, vehicles, etc.

true. Far from being simply the stuff of folklore and folk tales, Appleseed (real name: John Chapman) was an American nurseryman who introduced apple trees to the Midwest, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. He was also a conservationist and missionary during the earliest days of the United States.

Here Are Changes People Can Make Now To Avoid Dementia Later A. Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: The females in my family on my mother’s side seem to develop dementia/Alzheimer’s on a fairly regular basis. It seems to become noticeable once the women are in their mid-70s or so. We girls are concerned as we head toward our elderly years and wondered which sort of diet or supplemental changes we should look into? There seems to be so many articles and opinions that it’s hard to know where to start.
On the positive side, our father’s side of the family seems healthy and robust well into their 80s and 90s. Our extended family has females ranging from their mid-30s to 71 years of age. Are we being overly concerned? Could this be a genetic thing? Any suggestions would be helpful in calming some real fears that we have. -- E.J.
ANSWER: I don’t think supplements are going to be the answer for dementia. I haven’t seen any good data to support any of the supplements I see that are touted to prevent, slow, treat or cure dementia.
I do think that diet may help slow dementia, and one of the best diets according to the studies that have been done so far remains a Mediterranean-style diet. This includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, fish (especially fatty fish), limited amounts of red meat, and minimally processed foods. Alcohol is increasingly likely to be problematic, and I recommend against more than occasional alcohol use for people who want to minimize their risk of dementia.
Regular moderate exercise has a pretty clear protective effect. Although cognitive exercises like games and puzzles help improve memory short-term, it’s not clear that they are preventing or delaying the onset of dementia.
Advanced imaging, such as PET scans, are beginning to show the ability to diagnose Alzheimer’s dementia in people with early symptoms. Early treatment to attack amyloids in the brain with lecanemab or donanemab slows the progression of dementia by approximately 25% to 30%.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I cared for my ailing mother, and even though I tried to minimize my stress, I gained a lot of weight and still have my “cortisol belly.” I need to get healthy! -- D.H.
ANSWER: Taking care of a family member is always stressful. Taking care of yourself as well is hard, and most of us aren’t able to eat, sleep, exercise, and take good care of ourselves as well as we should during a period of time when we are taking care of others. Most of us have other demands, including family and work.
Although I often see the term “cortisol belly,” it isn’t the slightly elevated level of stress hormones that causes the abdominal weight gain. (People who have Cushing’s syndrome develop a particular type of abdominal weight gain as a result of dramatically elevated cortisol levels, as a result of a tumor, or by taking high doses of steroids.) In your case, it’s more likely that the result of not having healthy behaviors lead to your weight gain.
Losing abdominal weight is achieved through the same ways you would lose weight anywhere. I won’t ever say it’s easy, but a combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise is going to improve your health, whether you lose a pound or not. I don’t recommend medication treatment to lose weight unless a person is very overweight (“morbidly obese” is the precise medical term) or has medical complications related to their weight.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions

Review the business online. Review Trackers reports that more than 81 percent of consumers are likely to visit Google Reviews prior to visiting a business. That’s a testament to the value of online review aggregators. After a positive experience with a local business,consumers can visit Google Reviews or another online review aggregator like Yelp and share the details of their encounter. Chances are strong the review will be read and compel others to patronize the business.

“Appreciation
Why your dog’s leash ma ers
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Your recent column about the dog being allowed to walk onto a neighbor’s lawn to pee and poop had me wondering. Why was this dog not on a leash in the first place? Too often, I see people in my neighborhood who allow their dogs to run loose in the front yard, with no apparent barrier to them running into traffic. Too often, I see poor leash discipline, with dogs pulling far away from owners on a retractable leash -- too far for them to reel the dog back if they bound into an intersection. Can you at least tell people how to walk their dogs properly? -Gary in Atlanta, Georgia
DEAR GARY: Those are great observations. It’s not unusual to see owners who let their dogs pull ahead or wander onto lawns and into shrubbery. My guess is that most feel their pets deserve a little freedom.
But dogs need structure and routine. Halfway leash discipline creates a half-obedient dog. When you and your dog are walking, you are walking. Not playing, not exploring.
I’m all for allowing dogs to run and explore -- but the time and place are important. Running free at a dog park or in a well-fenced yard is OK. Zig-zagging all over the sidewalk and into the street ... not so much.
And as you pointed out, poor leash discipline is a huge safety issue. Owners must be able to control their dog. A sturdy, fixed leash is recommended for walking dogs of all sizes. A retractable leash is helpful at parks where dogs must be leashed but have space to safely explore. But I don’t recommend them for walking or training purposes.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS
Retired racing greyhounds are people-friendly. Despite what their love of running may suggest, retired racing greyhounds are very sociable and typically get along great with both adults and children. Many retired racing greyhounds have been handled by trainers, dog walkers, veterinarians, and others since they were very young. That exposure to humans has made them very sociable.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Seniors and Socila Media
The list of scams against seniors keeps getting longer and longer. Just when we have a handle on the various types of fraud, here come new ones. But there’s one area where we do have some control: social media.
One place I’ve always been concerned about (and therefore have never joined) is the small neighborhood social media chat groups. So much gets talked about, and people generally feel safe because, after all, they’re chatting with their neighbors. But you never really know who’s watching online. And you never really know what small piece of information could be the one that puts you at risk -especially if a thief has been following the group and assembling your innocent chat as clues.
Beware what you say online. If you announce on social media that you’re about to take a vacation, that’s a clue to a thief that your house will be empty at a certain time. Or if you announce online that you’ll be joining an art class every Tuesday morning, or if you post your unlisted phone number in reply to someone’s question, etc.
Another place that’s jam-packed with information is newspaper funeral notices that are posted on social media. The “survived by” information is gold for thieves. With those names, plus the date and time of the funeral, thieves know when a house is likely to be empty.
Friend requests are another source of concern with social media. Beware, and be selective. Be certain you know who you’re letting in. Never click a link in social media, or anywhere else. Just don’t. You don’t really know where it goes.
Before you take your first step into social media, be certain you know how it works. Get good advice on how to fix your privacy settings so you’re not as vulnerable.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
Be mindful of decorum. The internet is a largely informal “place,” but professionals should be mindful of decorum when networking online. Resist the temptation to use shorthand, slang or less formal language when contacting other professionals, as doing so can make you appear unprofessional. In addition, avoid making potentially controversial or contentious comments on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE
Don’t choose a career based on salary alone. Monster.com says that being financially strategic when choosing a new career is important, but shouldn’t be the only factor. Your personal values, experience and other factors such as family should weigh heavily into your decision as well.

The New England Hospital for Women and Children, established in 1862, was the first nursing school in the United States. The first formal nursing training program in Canada was established in 1874 at the General and Marine Hospital in St. Catharines, Ontario. The American Nurses Association was started in 1898. The CanadianNurses’Association,formerlytheCanadianNationalAssociation of Trained Nurses, was developed in 1907. These associations are national professional associations representing the hundreds of thousands of nurses across the country and are instrumental in legislative policy and the influences of health care on nursing professionals today.

FACTS FOR NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
HHM celebrates independence. HHM is celebrated between mid-September and mid-October because those weeks coordinate with the independence day celebrations of several countries with large Hispanic populations. Such nations include Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua on September 15; Mexico on September 16; and Chile on September 18.
