I step outside and the chilly air tightens the skin on my bare arms. Summer has ended all too quickly, and some of the leaves on the trees have already started to burn with the colors of fall. Fall colors.... so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.
~Siobhan Vivian, Same Difference
Women spend considerably more time each day than men engaging in various household activities.
According to the 2019 “American Time Use Survey” from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, women spend an average of 2.16 hours each day on household activities, while men spend an average of 1.39 hours on such pursuits. The survey identifies household activities as housework such as interior cleaning and laundry, but also other activities such as managing the household’s finances and preparing food. Women also spend roughly twice as much time as men caring for and helping household members. Such figures may reflect gender roles that date back several decades if not longer, even though family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.

Portable vs. Standby Generators
Prepare your home for a power outage (Family Features) Understanding the distinction between these options will help any family determine which is the better choice for their home.
• A portable generator is an immediate, but temporary, solution. A portable gas generator is less expensive than a standby unit and doesn’t require installation time. Its benefits have limits, as it can only power a few home appliances for a few hours before needing refueling.
• A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch provides a seamless and permanent backup power solution. It is professionally installed outside the home and can power more of your home’s appliances for long periods of time. Powered by natural gas or liquid propane, recent power management technology has allowed homes to still receive whole-house backup electricity, but with a smaller, more affordable generator than in years past.
With an emergency kit on hand and the right backup power source available, the frustration of weathering a storm can be greatly lessened.

NHTSA AND CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION LIVINGSTON
Celebrate Child Passenger Safety Week
BY BARBARA STURM, CORNELL COOPERATIVE EXTENSION LIVINGSTON, CCELIV TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM EDUCATOR AND CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIAN INSTRUCTOR
Every year, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration celebrates Child Passenger Safety Week, a week focused on providing parents and caregivers with free instruction on how to correctly install and use the right car seats for their children.
Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians offered free car seat safety checks during that week, and technicians are available year-round. Certified Technicians help parents and caregivers determine the right seats for their children and demonstrate how to correctly install and use those seats. Unfortunately, many parents are overconfident about their car seats. ey think they’re protecting their kids, but almost half of car seats are either the wrong seat for the child’s age and size, or the seats are installed incorrectly. at puts children at risk.
According to NHTSA, motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children. Every day in 2023, an average of two children under 14 were killed in crashes, and another

345 were injured in traffic crashes while riding in passenger vehicles.
We know parents love their kids, so they’ll do everything in their power to protect them. An easy way to do that is to double-check their car seats – it’s worth making sure.
When it comes to child passengers, there is a right seat for every age and developmental stage – from infants to teens. Whether it’s a rear-facing or forward-facing car seat, a booster seat, or a seat belt, a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician can put parents’ minds at ease by confirming which seat is correct for their children and showing them how to correctly install that seat in their vehicle.
Children should stay in each seat and position until they outgrow the height or weight limits for the car seat, and it’s crucial for all children under 13 to ride in the back seat.
If parents and caregivers would like to have their car seats checked, schedule an appointment with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Livingston Traffic Safety Program by emailing trafficsafetycce@cornell.edu or calling 585-991-5432. Or stop by one of these affiliated Child Passenger Safety Seat Fitting Stations in Livingston County: Cuylerville Fire Department, Dansville Police Department, and at the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office.
Visit trafficsafety.ny.gov/training-and-events to find upcoming events in other New York State locations. NHTSA. gov also has free resources available to caregivers. Learn about the different car seat types, read NHTSA’s research-based recommendations, and find and compare car seats.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to register car seats with the manufacturer so you can be notified in the event of a recall. You can also download NHTSA’s SaferCar app, which allows users to save your vehicle, car seat, and tire info in a virtual garage. If any of the saved equipment is included in a safety recall, the app will send a notification. For more information on child passenger safety, go to NHTSA.gov/therightseat

LEAF PEEPING PLANNING GUIDE
Peak viewing times
Areas of the northern-most latitude will start to show color earlier than more southern areas. Generally speaking, the leaf-viewing season begins in late September and runs through early November for much of North America. Peak times for viewing depend on areas of travel and time of year. For large swaths of Canada and the United States, plan trips for late-September to mid-October. The Weather Channel offers maps and charts at www.weather.com/maps/fall-foliage for the peak times for many areas of the U.S.

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.

Readers sound off on dog peeing in a neighbor’s yard
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Unbelievable that someone wouldn’t take responsibility for keeping their dog off the neighbor’s property! I just wanted to thank you for your response to the question. -LEOnard H.
DEAR PAWS: Although you were correct that any dog should not go on a neighbor’s lawn, you also may have hurt the chances for shelter dogs to get homes. We have had dogs for years, and they did their business in our yard, but we did not have a yard full of awful bare spots surrounded by yellow dying grass. What you stated could, sadly, make a family decide not to adopt a dog. -- Nancy D., via email
DEAR NANCY: While I’m not sure why being a responsible neighbor would preclude a family from adopting a dog, I’m happy that you agree with me about the bigger problem: trespassing into a neighbor’s yard to pee in it.
DEAR PAWS: We have a 7-year-old female Great Pyrenees dog and about 3 acres of lawn. I can tell exactly where our dog has peed, because the 8- to 10-inch area of grass is much greener and about 2 inches taller than the adjacent grass. She also goes on our various neighbors’ lawns near the edge of the street, and I’ve never noticed any yellowing or dead grass areas. So, what gives? Is our dog unique or is it the breed, or maybe what she eats? All the best. -- Gary S.
DEAR GARY: Some strains of grass are more resistant to the nitrogen in dog urine (Kentucky bluegrass, for one), but no grass is completely tolerant of pee. Again, the bigger problem is that a pet owner felt it was just fine to let their pet walk onto their neighbor’s lawn to “fertilize” it.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
By Lucie Winborne
* Had Georgie Fletcher of Australia never signed on to play the mobile game “Words With Friends,” her husband, Simon, might be dead. Georgie struck up a friendship via the game’s chat feature with frequent opponent Beth Legler from Missouri. One day, Georgie told Beth that Simon hadn’t been feeling well. Beth relayed his symptoms to her husband Larry, a doctor, who insisted that the Fletchers go to the hospital immediately. A 99% blockage was discovered near his heart, which, left untreated, would have certainly been fatal.
* The process of things being stretched out and torn apart as they enter a black hole is called spaghettification.
* Our senses of taste and smell are cut by 50% and 20%, respectively, during flights, which is why airplane food has never tasted so hot. (“That’s what I’ve been telling you!” said every airplane food chef, ever.)
Thought for the Day: “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

Magnificent Autumn! He comes not like a pilgrim, clad in russet weeds. He comes not like a hermit, clad in gray. But he comes like a warrior, with the stain of blood upon his brazen mail. His crimson scarf is rent.... The wind.... wafts to us the odor of forest leaves, that hang wilted on the dripping branches, or drop into the stream. Their gorgeous tints are gone, as if the autumnal rains had washed them out. Orange, yellow, and scarlet, all are changed to one melancholy russet hue.... There is a melancholy and continual roar in the tops of the tall pines.... It is the funeral anthem of the dying year.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

RISK FACTORS FOR BREAST CANCER
Having breast tissue that is dense on a mammogram is a factor in breast cancer risk. The level of risk depends on how dense the breast tissue is. Women with very dense breasts have a higher risk of breast cancer than women with low breast density.
Increased breast density is often an inherited trait, but it may also occur in women who have not had children, have a first pregnancy late in life, take postmenopausal hormones, or drink alcohol.
Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

Chikungunya Disease Leaves Woman in Immense Pain for Years
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend who lives in Paraguay and had been diagnosed with chikungunya. It has been extremely painful for her for several years. Her doctor prescribed 90 mg of etoricoxib daily and a shot of duodecadron once a month.
I’ve never heard of chikungunya, and the medical care she is getting seems sketchy. I wish there was a solution for her immense pain. Do you have any knowledge of this virus and/or the medication for it? Are you aware of any new or trial drugs that might be worth trying? -- J.
ANSWER: Chikungunya may not sound like a real medical condition, but it is a viral disease that was first found in West Africa. It has since spread to the Caribbean and the Americas with transmission occurring in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and a few cases in Florida.
It is spread mainly through mosquitoes. The word “chikungunya” is from an African language and roughly translates to “stooped walk” due to the joint pain caused by the disease. In addition to joint pain, people with chikungunya usually have a fever and a skin rash. Headache and even meningitis may occur. However, joint pain is the most common long-term complication.
While most people will clear their joint symptoms within six months, symptoms can go on for years in some people. Your friend is receiving a COX-2 inhibitor (etoricoxib), which has the potential for heart damage, so it is not approved in the United States. She is also on a chronic steroid, dexamethasone, which is used in North America but may not be the best long-term treatment as it has numerous long-term side effects. In North America, people with chronic joint pain from chikungunya are treated similarly to those with rheumatoid arthritis. This often includes methotrexate or another disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. I urge your friend to see a rheumatologist.
DEAR DR. ROACH: In your column, I frequently read letters from people who have to get up during the night to urinate. My husband had this problem and got up hourly. We assumed it was as a prostate issue.
After prostate surgery, he had a catheter for a few days, and we found that he was producing almost two liters of urine at night. The urologist immediately ordered a sleep study to determine if sleep apnea was present.
He tested positive, was started on a CPAP machine, and only needed to get up once on the very first night. It changed his life. -- D.S.
ANSWER: I thank D.S. for writing. Obstructive sleep apnea is a well-known cause for urinating at night, but we often forget to think about it. A really useful tool for sleep apnea, the STOPBang questionnaire, doesn’t include excessive urinating at night, but your letter is a good reminder that we should consider this diagnosis in people who are at risk for sleep apnea.
The risk factors in the STOP-Bang questionnaire are Snoring; Tired enough to fall asleep easily during the day; Observed stopped breathing or gasping for breath during the night; high blood Pressure; a Body mass index over 35; an Age older than 50; a Neck size larger than 16 inches (40 cenitmeters); and the Gender of male.
A person who answers positively to three or more of these risk factors should at least prompt a consideration of whether sleep apnea is likely enough to test the person for it.
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

e Night the Angels Came
By Ruth E Staly,
July 6, 2025
Beautiful souls went to heaven in the flood of heavy rain. Many of them were children e night the angels came.
Some never got to say goodbye. ings will never be the same. Looking around for loved ones e night the angels came.
ey gathered together to say their prayers to take away their pain and pray for every one so lost the night the angels came.
ey went to church on Sunday and prayed in God’s great name. “Please never let this happen again” the night the angels came.
ey never will forget the terror and the pain. eir loved ones went to be with God the night the angels came.
3 strategies that can lower breast cancer risk
Breast cancer affects millions of individuals each year. e World Cancer Research Fund International reports that breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women across the globe, affecting roughly 2.3 million women each year.
Despite the global prevalence of breast cancer, various organizations report high five-year survival rates, particularly among women whose cancers are detected in the earliest stages of the disease. In fact, a 2023 study published in the journal BMJ found that the risk for dying from breast cancer in the five years a er an early-stage diagnosis fell to 5 percent in recent years, a notable improvement from the 14 percent risk of death that was reported in the 1990s.
Increased survival rates for breast cancer are welcome news for women and their families. e higher survival rates are a byproduct of the tireless efforts of cancer researchers, who have also discovered links between the disease and certain lifestyle factors. ough there's no way to eliminate one's risk for breast cancer entirely, the American Cancer Society notes certain variables are within women's control. With that in mind, women can consider these three strategies that can lead to improved overall health and might help women lower their risk for breast cancer as well.
1.
Reach and maintain a healthy weight. e benefits of maintaining a healthy weight include a lower risk for heart disease and stroke, and women should know that weight and breast cancer risk are linked as well. According to the ACS, increased body weight and weight gain as an adult are linked to a higher risk of developing breast cancer. at’s particularly so among post-menopausal women. A 2023 study published in the journal BMC Women’s Health found that the chances of developing breast cancer increase among post-menopausal women who are obese.
2. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise is one of the ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, so it makes sense that being physically active can reduce breast cancer risk. e National Cancer Institute reports that a 2016 meta-analysis of 38 cohort studies found that the most physically active women had between a 12 and 21 percent lower risk for breast cancer than women who were the least physically active. e NCI also notes that additional studies have found that women who become more physically active a er menopause also have a lower risk for breast cancer than those who do not.
3.
Limit or eliminate alcohol consumption. e ACS urges women who drink to consume no more than one alcoholic drink per day, noting that consumption of even small amounts of alcohol have been linked to an increased risk for breast cancer. Officials with the MD Anderson Cancer Center note that the link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is low. However, the MDACC notes that alcohol can contribute to unwanted weight gain, thus increasing cancer risk. In addition, alcohol can increase levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with breast cancer.
It may be impossible to completely prevent breast cancer. However, women can embrace strategies that improve their overall health in ways that lower their risk for breast cancer.

LEAF PEEPING PLANNING GUIDE
Pick your destination
Anywherewithdeciduoustreesprovidestheopportunitytowitnessblazing autumn color. During leaf-peeping season, travelers can go coast to coast and see awesome vistas. 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. The travel resource Frommer’s offers more leaf-peeping locales to visit.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Don’t touch the thermostat
By the time you read this, many of us in cold-weather areas will be listening for (and dreading) the click sound that heralds the arrival of warm air through the furnace vents. The dread comes in when we mentally calculate just how much it’s costing us to stay warm.
The temptation, always, is to set the thermostat at a lower temperature and cut costs. However, for seniors this can be dangerous. We’re no longer physically equipped to handle cold and are vulnerable to hypothermia if the temperature is too low. If you already have a preexisting condition, your risks are even higher.The National Institute on Aging suggests that we don’t set our indoor temperature to lower than 68-70 degrees. And the math doesn’t really support lowering the temperature too much.
Rule of thumb is that for every degree you lower the temperature, you can save 1-3% on your costs. If your monthly bill is $100, that means you can potentially save $1-$3 on your costs. If you’re gone for the day, they say that if you lower your thermostat by 7-10 degrees for an eight-hour day, you can save 10% on your bill. But when you come home it’s going to be very cold inside and take hours to warm up to your normal temperature, with the furnace running every minute.
Ways to stay warm:
Investing in the clear plastic film that covers windows on the inside can block a lot of cold air that blows in through even the most modern windows. Experts say this can save 10-30% on your heating bill. Based on my experiences, I believe this. Open the curtains on the sunny side of the house to let the sun in during the day. Have an annual inspection of your furnace to keep it running well.
And put on an insulated vest. You’ll be surprised how much warmer you’ll feel!

ank You Noyes Team!
To the doctors, nurses, and the rest of the team of dedicated professionals that treated and healed me for pneumonia during my five day stay at Noyes Hospital in Dansville. With overwhelming gratitude, I thank you! Because of all of you, I am alive today. God bless you all!
Sincerely, Kathleen E. Kelley
Express Yourself!
There was a vent a few weeks ago about people not wearing ‘enough clothing’ in public to which I was appalled, because I’ve never seen a vent about all the men mowing their lawns shirtless in our community. The right to express ourselves through creative clothing is something I love to see on others and would never judge, especially with the temperatures summer brings us. A few days later, as I was shopping, I happened to notice an elderly lady with a thin shirt and black bra underneath, to which I got a burst of joy that even the older generations like to dress spicy sometimes!
Book Boxes
Over the years I’ve lost many in my book club. We would exchange books between the group. We would gather then from yard sales, book sales, splurge on a few of our favorite authors. Now it’s just two of us. So, finding these book boxes is a great joy. I now put my done books in there and slip in a few children’s books from my collection.
My wife and I moved out here to this local county for the beautiful landscapes, rolling hills, peace, gratitude, and quiet 16 years ago. Now, before our eyes are this hideous slew of solar farms popping up everywhere. The problem is they did a very bad job of hiding them from the street views. Some solar farms planted trees which are half dead and not replaced. When these boards approve of the use, why don’t they follow through with covering these ugly solar farms and make the owners or companies maintain these 20-year use garbage and require they replant the trees and plant plenty? This county is getting ruined. And speaking environmentally, where are the panels to go after their 20-year use? SAY NO TO SOLAR FARMS. I see this every day and they are building so many more. Just great. www.featuredmedia.com
Medical Office’s Voicemail
I’m sure thousands of your readers have experienced the following when calling their doctors’ offices. If it wasn’t so annoying, it would be comical when I hear these on their voicemail messages: 1. “Your call will be answered in the order it was received” (how else would it be answered?) 2. “This call is being recorded for quality and training purposes” (really? I wonder if this really occurs?) 3. “We are experiencing a higher volume of calls than usual” (I called back at 3am and got the same message, so forgive my skepticism). Why can’t a real, live person answer patients’ calls?

This is the feast-time of the year When hearts grow warm and home more dear; When Autumn’s crimson torch expires To flash again in winter fires; And they who tracked October’s flight
Through woods with gorgeous hues bedight, In charmèd circle sit and praise The goodly log’s triumphant blaze. ~Harriet McEwen Kimball (1834–1917), “The Feast-Time of the Year,” c.1880
