DID YOU KNOW? Raking leaves may be an autumnal traditional for many homeowners, but those who want a less strenuous way to prevent their lawns from being suffocated by fallen leaves may want to consider mulching them. Fallen leaves should never be left to linger on a yard for very long, and some homeowners may be surprised to learn that waiting to rake until all of the trees on a property have shed their leaves can be detrimental to the lawn. That’s because fallen leaves trap moisture and prevent sunlight and air from reaching the grass, making lawns more vulnerable to disease. Fallen leaves also can harbor insects, again putting lawns at risk of disease. Mulching may be the best option for homeowners who prefer to avoid spending several weekend afternoons each fall raking leaves. Many lawnmowers are now equipped with mulching capabilities, which can remove the need to rake. When leaves are mulched, they are minced into tiny pieces that are left behind on the lawn. Such pieces are so small that they won’t block air or light from reaching the grass, nor are they likely to harbor insects.

But as these tiny pieces of leaves decompose, they enrich the soil with nutrients, so much so that some lawns may not even need to be fertilized in the fall.

Autumn days, particularly late autumn days, can be gusty, and strong winds can cause branches to fall off trees. Branches big and small can cause damage to cars, siding and roofs, and smaller branches can get clogged in gutters, potentially causing gutters to back up and leading to leaky roofs that damage a home’s interior. Take a walk around your property at least once per week during the fall, clearing any fallen limbs and trimming branches that appear one strong gust away from falling off of trees. Remove any branches that are hanging over your home and driveway so they don’t pose a threat to your house or vehicles.

How physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer

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

Though 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 benefits women in a myriad of ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer.

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

Body weight and breast cancer The National Cancer Institute reports that being obese after menopause can significantly 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 effective way to lose weight and keep weight off, which in turn could lower women’s risk for breast cancer.

Does physical activity really reduce breast cancer risk?

The human body is complex, and a host of factors, including those like age that women have no control over, can affect cancer risk. However, engaging in routine physical activity seems to be an effective 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 significant weapon in women’s arsenal as they continue their efforts to prevent and overcome 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. The 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.

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER ● GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

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.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

NO MORE

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Seizure-Like Reactions Pose the Question of Epilepsy

waxing, shaving, bleaching or tweezing This office follows the most up-to-date methods of sterilization and sanitation.

--DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband experienced seizure-like

episodes without tonic/clonic body movements in high altitude.

These episodes occured while he was traveling, being physically active in Colorado and skiing in France. Both episodes happened at least 12 hours after physical activity. Our general physician back home felt that these were not true seizures, instead a reaction to possibly being dehydrated in high altitudes.

A vast amount of testing resulted in nothing unusual going on with his cardiovascular system or his brain. But just recently, he had another episode two days after being active, hydrating at sea level and banging his head -- with more body movement this time.

I have been researching online, and seizure-like reactions seem to occur due to electrolyte imbalances. It is very hard to get to a neurologist without an excessive wait time. Do you think antiseizure medications are warranted? -- S.S. ANSWER: It’s important to separate a seizure (which anyone can get if there is enough stress to the brain) from epilepsy, a condition where the person is susceptible to recurring seizures.

For it to be considered epilepsy, a person generally needs at least two unprovoked seizures (with no unusual stress to the brain) at least 24 hours apart. Only epilepsy is treated with long-term antiseizure medicines.

There is indeed a risk of developing seizures while at a high altitude. In addition, there are many other conditions that can provoke a seizure. You mentioned electrolyte imbalance, but sodium (too much or too little) as well as too little amounts of magnesium and calcium are among the most common. Low blood sugar is a frequent cause.

Some recreational drugs cause seizures, but withdrawal from drugs, especially alcohol, is more common. Metabolic diseases of the kidney and thyroid are also common. Sleep deprivation, brain injury (especially stroke, but also trauma), brain tumors and brain infections are all common triggers that your husband probably received an evaluation for.

Had it only been the first seizure, my advice likely would have been the same as your physician’s, although I probably would have suggested a consultation with an epileptologist (a neurologist with special expertise in seizures). Now that he has had a second -- and unprovoked -- seizure, my suspicion that he has epilepsy is much higher. (In hindsight, it’s clear that the first reaction really was a seizure.)

Most people experiencing their first seizure while at a high altitude were eventually found to have epilepsy after further testing, including an electroencephalogram (EEG). The high altitude doesn’t cause the seizure; it just increases the risk of a seizure in a person who has an underlying propensity for it. This may also occur with many medicines, especially those used for depression.

Your husband should see an epileptologist as soon as possible.

I strongly feel that it’s unwise for nonexperts to prescribe anti-seizure drugs, except as a treatment until a patient can be seen by an expert. I have seen that done many times, and it is done improperly, at least according to the expert a patient eventually sees. Your husband needs a timely and comprehensive reevaluation. Epileptologists recognize that new onset seizures in an adult require a more timely appointment.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD What is PTSD? - The American Psychiatric Association defines PTSD as “a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.”

Some examples of events that can lead to PTSD include war/combat, a terrorist attack, rape, or incidents in which people have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. PTSD also can occur after witnessing traumatic events, including natural disasters or serious accidents.

Here’s a tip • Two tips for sewing buttons: First, for pants buttons, use unwaxed dental floss. It’s incredibly strong and can take a lot of abuse. Second, slip a pin between the button and the fabric before sewing on. When you’re finished, remove the pin. The button has some room behind it, and it will last longer.

• This is a tip for us singletons. I love whipped topping on my hot chocolate, but it doesn’t always last in my fridge.

I buy a tub of it, and spoon it into mug-size dollops on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. When the sheet is full, I freeze them. They can be peeled off easily and slipped in a container or plastic bag. When I make my hot chocolate, I plop one in straight from the freezer. It takes only minutes to soften and melt. And it’s delicious!

Methinks I see the sunset light flooding the river valley, the western hills stretching to the horizon, overhung with trees gorgeous and glowing with the tints of autumn—a mighty flower garden, blossoming under the spell of the enchanter, Frost... ~John Greenleaf Whittier, “Patucket Falls”

It’s Alive! Jonas Myhill and Team Transform the Phelps Arts Center into a Halloween Tradition

BY SUZIE WELLS

S

ince 2017 (minus COVID years), the not-for-profit Phelps Arts Center and its incredible group of volunteers have converted the Arts Center’s 15 Church St building into a Halloween experience like no other. As one of only a handful of Halloween events in the area, Arts Center President, Jonas Myhill, and the rest of the team are excited to share the joys of the haunt with visitors again this year.

Myhill says the actors all volunteer at this haunted house because they love what they do. For most of the actors, he says, Halloween is their favorite holiday, and they all “enjoy dressing up in costumes and scaring the life out of people.”

However, the haunted house also serves as a major fundraiser for the Arts Center, providing essential funds for programming and the building’s operation and maintenance. Myhill describes the building as an amazing historic one that has “had a bunch of lives, so we’d like to keep her alive as long as we can.” He describes the stained glass as “breath-taking” and appreciates the fact that the building is “flexible and [can] be whatever Phelps needs.”

Myhill says he and others assumed responsibility for the nonprofit in 2017 to maintain and revitalize the 1850 building. Formerly St. John’s Episcopal Church, the Gothic Revival was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The board that maintains the building is all local to Phelps, including Mary DePorter of the Pizza Coop, Janie Burgess of the Phelps Community Center, Hannah Williams of the Phelps Business Development and Tourism Council, and Nicole Myhill of the Phelps Business Development and Tourism Council.

Jonas Myhill is proud to be part of the rejuvenation of downtown Phelps. The non-profit holds events and programs, including movie nights, craft shows, escape rooms, painting parties, and live music, year-round.

The Arts Center is the center of the town’s community, Myhill says.

This fall, the Phelps Arts Center hosts a spiritual festival this fall.

In December, they partner with EMBL3M for an Art Gallery to raise awareness for mental health. And they are excited to host a couple of productions of the Phelps Clifton Springs Community Theatre Group next spring. Myhill says they are excited to host and coordinate more great events with and for the community going forward.

Myhill loves the Arts Center building because it is unique in a town that is “truly the ‘center of the universe.’ We live between Syracuse and Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany, and Toronto and New York City. We are in the center of the Finger Lakes.” A Phelps resident for the past eight years, and Clifton Springs before that, Myhill says, “We love the fact that Phelps is growing and hitting its stride. So many changes for the better! The community center is growing and changing and providing for the community, and the downtown is hustling and bustling!”

Phelps Arts Center

the Arts Center. He says, “People should strive to be an active part of the community you live in, and that is what I have taught my family.”

Before scaring folks in the Phelps Haunted House, Myhill and his community have been “haunting” since 2010. Through their haunted escapades, they helped their Clifton Springs community group raise money for a new playground and additional lighting. They also helped elevate the Clifton Springs haunt, Night Terrors. So, he says, it’s been “almost 13 years of scaring people and loving every minute of it.”

Weekends this October, Myhill encourages the community to come have dinner in town, grab a brew, and come out to support the Phelps Arts Center through their annual haunted house. With advance tickets providing headof-line privileges, the regular scary haunts are scheduled Friday and Saturday nights, with alternative scheduled “blackout nights” on two specific Sundays, with lights kept at the bare minimum, the only light being a glowstick for each visitor. The Arts Center also features a family-friendly time each Friday evening with lights on, so kiddos can check out the haunt without the scary component.

DID YOU KNOW? Come autumn, many foods seem to take on a unique flavor exclusive to the season. That’s thanks to the ubiquitous “pumpkin spice,” which each fall is a specially featured ingredient in everything from cream cheese to marshmallows. Naturally, pumpkin spice is also a key ingredient when preparing pumpkin pie. But just what does pumpkin spice contain?

Pumpkin spice is a combination of several different ground spices.

It typically includes cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. It also may include allspice. Pumpkin spice is the name given to the blend in the United States. In the United Kingdom, pumpkin spice is known as “mixed spice,” which is a similar but not exact blend as that used to create pumpkin spice.

Both feature cinnamon as the dominant flavor.

PAW’S CORNER

Walter

Hi, I’m !

I am 6 months old!

Some of my favorite things to do are hunt for chipmunks, play with the leaves, take naps, and, most of all, I love my neck scratches! Not to brag, but my owners say I am the cutest kitten!

How Long Will Dog’s Heatstroke Recovery Take?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Two weeks ago, my Golden Retriever Lollie suffered a heatstroke. I let him outside into the backyard around midmorning. When I checked on him after about a half hour, he stumbled to me and collapsed. I rushed him to the veterinarian, where he was treated.

Lollie is recovering, but I am terrified to let him outside again. Why did he have problems so fast? Will this episode affect his health long-term? -- Greg in Houston DEAR GREG: I’m glad to hear that Lollie is recovering, because heatstroke can be deadly -- as you know. Your fear is normal, because you’re clearly a caring pet owner, and you don’t want Lollie to be injured again.

That care and attention is perhaps the biggest factor in Lollie recovering fully and having fewer long-term complications from his heatstroke.

The reasons why Lollie suffered heatstroke aren’t as clear, but there are so many factors that could have contributed to it. The morning may have been hotter than usual. Lollie may have had an underlying illness that made it harder for him to withstand the warmer temperature. He might not have drunk as much water as he needed to maintain his internal temperature.

SEND US A PHOTO! and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it.

Submit online at gvpennysaver.com • Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414.

Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

You did all the right things: letting him outside earlier in the day; checking on him periodically; and immediately taking him to the vet as soon as you saw his symptoms were serious.

Keep following the vet’s instructions to support Lollie’s care as he recovers. It may be weeks or months before he can spend the same time in the heat. He’ll get tired more easily, so his daily walks should be kept short. Make sure he’s eating and drinking enough water. All these factors will improve his health for the long term.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

HOBBIES FOR DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES

Fall is a great season to enjoy festivals, farmer’s markets and craft fairs, as merchants look to liquidate inventory before they prepare for the rush of the upcoming holiday season. Cities, tow ns, hamlets, and everything in betw een w ill host their share of open markets and more w ith great deals to be had, and fall is an ideal time to visit local shops and stands.

Hobbies can provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Finding the right hobby requires the consideration of a host of factors, including one’s own personality. The following are some common personality types and the hobbies they might find rewarding.

The Athlete: Athletes can pursue a host of potential hobbies or activities that will foster their love of sports. Men and women who still have a hop in their step can sign up to compete in adult sports leagues.

Depending on the sport, leagues might be available to adults of various ages and skill levels, and some may even be more focused on fun than competition.

For athletes who can no longer lace up their cleats, coaching youth sports or volunteering to coach at a nearby school provides a chance to stay involved even if competing is no longer possible.

The Reader: Book lovers also can channel their passions for the written word into a rewarding hobby. While reading might not seem like the most social activity, readers who want to use their love of books to grow their social networks can start a book club. People of all ages and backgrounds love to read, so starting a book club can be a great way to meet an array of people.

Readers also can call their local libraries or schools to ask about reading programs for children. Volunteer to read to youngsters, helping the next generation discover the wonders of reading.

The Executive: Men and women who have experienced great success in the world of business can pursue a host of low-stress opportunities with a goal of sharing their experiences with the next generation of business leaders. Teaching a course at a local college or university is one such avenue, and executives can even offer to work with high school students interested in pursuing careers in business. Teaching and mentoring might be less traditional hobbies than crocheting or woodworking, but they still provide a way for adults to pursue their passions away from the constraints of the office.

The Traveler: Men and women who love to travel can begin writing travel blogs where they share stories of their domestic and international travels. Use the blog to offer an insider’s insight into certain cities, offering advice on obscure eateries or activities that might be off most tourists’ radars. Include photos with each blog post to attract more readers.

Paying It Forward, One Onion At A Time I was dining at my favorite local restaurant, enjoying my usual: the famous garbage plate. Now, as we all know, the portion sizes of these beasts could feed a small army! So I always bring snack size baggies with me to save small portions for later, as well as the extra toppings. I had bagged up all of my leftovers and was walking to my car when I saw an older gal struggling under the weight of a hefty garbage plate. The mighty plate proved to be too much and clattered to the ground, spilling some of its precious contents! I sprang into action as quickly as I could (I ain’t no spring chicken myself!) and saved what I could for this hungry patron. As I helped wrangle her meal, I noticed her plate was lacking the integral diced onions. How serendipitous! I promptly pulled my snack size baggie of diced onions from my pocket and handed it to her with a slight bow. She departed, bounty in tow, off to enjoy her sumptuous GP with diced onions. It made my day to make her day. Bon appetit!

Thank you!

I’d like to thank the parents of TE for raising an honest young man. Last week I lost my purse while running errands. I went home and couldn’t find it, so I went to the last place I remember stopping - my local dollar store. When I went back, T was the first person to greet me with my purse - what a relief! There was an older gentleman who said, “Lady, you’re lucky to get your purse back!” and he was right. I was so thankful, not for the $10 left in it but my license, DPA, credit cards, pictures, and more were all there. I’m 88 years old and the only thing I could remember was that I lost my bag. This is a tip for older ones: make a list of everything in your wallet and leave it in a safe place at home. Then if you lose it, you’ll be able to know what exactly you’re missing. T - it would be a better world if everyone was honest like you. Thank you!

SHARE WITH US Junk and More I cannot believe how the village is OK with a business using a historical area for junk/storage. This has been brought up to the village office and code enforcement. It seems like they are more concerned about a single vehicle in a remote location than the center of the village. Why? It makes me wonder about the special privileges some people/owners receive. It wasn’t that long ago the village was all over a business in the same area to clean up, so why does this place get a free pass? I know NOTHING was said because MORE junk is being piled up. Boats, vehicles, trailers, vans, lawn mowers, appliances, plows, A-Verdi boxes, lawn furniture, toys, etc. Visitors are seeing this area and the village should be ashamed.

STOP THE SMOKERS Please stop the people taking over some of the senior apartment buildings by smoking inside every day for years. It is putting others’ health at risk. Get them out! They do it because they can. What are you afraid of? You’re not very good at your job. Do your job or find another one that you’re good at. You don’t take away one’s right and give it to another.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * In March 2019, the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans celebrated its 125th anniversary by offering a free seven-night stay in the presidential suite, along with complimentary private dinners and spa treatments worth $15,000. But this wasn’t your everyday giveaway -- the prize was only available to the person who returned the “most outrageous” item ever stolen from the hotel!

DEAR MANCHESTER, HOPEWELL AND BLOOMFIELD NEIGHBORS, It is officially Fall here in New York and as we know, it is harvest time for us farmers. With harvest comes more farm equipment traveling on the road from one field to the next.

We encourage our neighbors to be patient with us during this harvest season. Safety is a number one priority for us on and off the road.

We want everyone to arrive at their destinations safely. Following farm equipment for 2 miles at 20 mph only adds 6 minutes to your travels. Soon after harvest we will be fertilizing our fields with manure to increase our soil health. If you have an event and would like us to hold off spreading near you, please contact us at the numbers below. Also, please notify us if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for being great neighbors. From, The Willow Bend, Spring Hope and Bonna Terra Teams. John Mueller, Willow Bend Farm, Work: 315-462-3177. John Davies, Spring Hope Dairy, Cell:585-5093919.
