BY CAROL FISHER-LINN Think back to February 1980: Had you found Ellicottville yet? Holiday Valley and HoliMont had been When Judy and Ken Roush returned to Ellicottville in the 80’s they we set on opening a restaurant of their own. They picked Herbie’s Derby in Ellicottville, a local watering hole previously known as Mc- Caddens, then Dettmans Restaurant, and even longer ago in the 50’s, a home for Ellicottville’s 3rd grade class. Beyond facilitating the safe collection of blood and careful recovery of organs, ConnectLife aims to illuminate not only the facts behind blood, organ, eye, and tissue donation, but the invaluable difference that we can all make for people in need right in our own backyard.

(See Story, “Life”, page 7.) Breast cancer has been widely studied throughout history. Research can be found dating back to 3,000 B.C.E. Our more “modern” ap- proach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century. We may have come a long way, but with 286,600 women and 2,670 men (cancer.org) diagnosed in the US in 2019, we aren’t quite there yet. The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment. (See Story, “Cancer”, page 7 ) BY JESSICA SCHULTZ Get out your brooms and dust off your bones, Halloween is almost here.

This year’s tours of Forest Hill Cemetery in downtown Fredonia combines history, theater, and a haunted house to create entertainment that is respectful of its source, she says.

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Whistleblower Takes Aim at Facebook amp Instagram

Week in Health amp Science Whistleblower

Freelance WriterForMer Mayor Boston

tV rePorter science teacHer

cHQ county resident

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Whistleblower Takes Aim at Facebook amp Instagram

Week in Health amp Science Whistleblower

By cara BirrittieriautHor

Freelance WriterForMer Mayor Boston

tV rePorter science teacHer

cHQ county resident

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Whistleblower Takes Aim at Facebook amp Instagram

Week in Health amp Science Whistleblower

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Whistleblower Takes Aim at Facebook amp Instagram

Week in Health amp Science Whistleblower

Freelance WriterForMer Mayor Boston

cHQ county resident

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

other ways For more information please call Naturersquos Remedy in Ellicottville at 716-699-4372 facebookcomnaturesremedynet E-mail naturesremedyverizonnet The contents of this article are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis

Cancer By carol FisHer-linn

Surely everyone reading this piece knows someone who has struggled through breast cancer or is a breast cancer casualtysurvivor themself Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women everywhere It has been widely studied throughout history In fact healthlinecom informs us there exists medical texts relating to breast cancer dating back to 3000-2500 BCE In the 400rsquos BCE Hippocrates was first to describe the stages of breast cancer In the old days experiments abounded most notably surgical incisions (thought to destroy the tumors) Religion got involved discouraging barbaric surgeries while encouraging faith healing Anesthesia was not yet discovered when The Renaissance brought back the surgeries and lumpectomies Ouch Our more ldquomodernrdquo approach to breast cancer began to develop with radical mastectomy continuing from the first one in 1882 through to the 20th century Radium came on stage when Marie and Pierre Curie discovered it in 1898 Less disfiguring mastectomies emerged in 1932 radiation was added in 1937 and SERMs (selective estrogen receptor modulators like Tamoxifen) were introduced in 1978 In 1985 it was proven that lumpectomies and radiation had similar survival rates to treatment with only mastectomies Estrogen blocking drug Arimidex was

developed in 1996 in 1998 Tamoxifen was FDA approved for use as a preventive and in 2006 a preventive drug with fewer side effects (Evista) was developed By 2018 clinical trials showed that chemotherapy doesnrsquot benefit 70 of women with early-stage cancer altering protocols yet again other cancer fighting drugs were developed by 2020 Today less invasive and less toxic treatments are used regularly with the treatment becoming more personalized thanks to new specialized testing Shorter courses of radiation are found to be as effective as longer ones with targeted drugs or biologics giving the option to totally avoid chemo in some cases We may have come a long way but with 286600 women and 2670 men (cancerorg) diagnosed in the US in 2019 we arenrsquot quite there yet The best line of defense is still early detection with treatment October is Breast Cancer Awareness month Visit wwwcancerorgbreastcancer to find information on every aspect of the breast cancer experience from prevention to survivorship This site is very comprehensive and should answer all your questions about prevention andor care Find a lump Jump into action October is also dedicated to Long-term care planning Per AARP 70 of people turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lives 90 of those who receive long-term care today live at home or in a community setting The SCAN foundationorg tells us that ldquoLong-term care (LTC) refers to a broad range

of services provided by paid or unpaid providers that can support people who have limitations in their ability to care for themselves due to a physical cognitive or chronic health condition that is expected to continue for an extended period These care needs may arise from 1) an underlying health condition 2) an inherited or acquired disabling condition among younger adults andor 3) a condition present at birthrdquo The problem is that a good number of people donrsquot feel the necessity until it is upon them A good start is an advance directive You can access free forms (wwwlawdepotcom) for an advance directive from your state - this is a document that allows a person to pre-select their medical treatment options in the event they cannot speak for themselves The form outlines how a person is to be treated with a spokesperson an ldquoagentrdquo to make the medical decisions on their behalf and in accordance with their wishes If you donrsquot have an advanced medical directive medical care providers must prolong your life using artificial means if necessary Which means that with todayrsquos technology physicians can sustain you for days and weeks (if not months or even years) Unfortunately completing an advance directive often does not hold high priority yet it is critical if you have an unfortunate accident or sudden illness Oftentimes it is too late to consider doing one at that point Why not take time during this changing of seasons to consider how you want your own personal change of seasons handled

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

Junior Explorers Give BackThe Juniors Spend Some Time Doing Good in Their Neighborhood

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

Whistleblower Takes Aim at Facebook amp Instagram

Week in Health amp Science Whistleblower

Freelance WriterForMer Mayor Boston

cHQ county resident

Testifying before Congress Tuesday morning Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen left little to the imagination concerning the companyrsquos motives and impact on its youngest users The Harvard MBA trained former employee claimed both Facebook and Instagram which Facebook owns put growth and profit far ahead of any concern about health even knowing some accounts are owned by children ldquoI saw Facebook repeatedly encounter conflicts between its own profits and our safety Facebook consistently resolved these conflicts in favor of its own profits The result has been more division more harm more lies and more threats more combat In some cases this dangerous online talk has led to actual violence that harms and even kills peoplerdquoHaugen compared Facebookrsquos unhealthy impacts to big tobacco covering up the dangers of smoking decades ago ldquoWhen we realized that big tobacco was hiding harms it caused government took action when we figured out cars were safer with seatbelts government took action when we learned that opioids were taking lives the government took action

I implore you to do the same hererdquo Criticism was aimed at ads that make it through to children and teens despite Facebookrsquos claims that they do not market weight loss vaping tobacco or alcohol to anyone under 18 Haugen repeatedly said that since artificial intelligence algorithms are employed to flag these kinds of adds that some ads are undoubtedly getting through to children and teenagers Also Senator Mike Lee (R) of Utah disclosed that a research advocacy group called Technology Transparency Project (TTP) conducted an experiment last month to run a series of ads on Facebook that would be targeted to children ages 13 to 17 Facebook approved all the ads slated to run on the accounts of up to 19 million users One of the ads said ldquoThrow a skittles party like no otherrdquo over a picture of a pile of prescription drugs basically promoting teen abuse of multi-colored prescription pills another displayed an ldquoanatiprdquo which is a tip describing ways to promote anorexia nervosa to remain slim a third ad encouraged children to find a partner online saying in text form ldquoYou look lonely Find your partner now to make a love connectionrdquo The ad clearly prompted teens as young as 13 to seek love on social media even though this kind of connection might lead a young teen into the hands of strangers or

worse None of the ads ran on Facebook since TTPrsquos goal was to prove a point However clearly Facebook was willing to run the ads Lee admonished the tech giant ldquoIt proves that FB is allowing and perhaps facilitating harmful adult themed ads to our nationrsquos childrenrdquo Haugen said the company relies so heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) that just 10 ndash 20 of drug paraphernalia or other offensive ads would be flagged and removed ldquoIt is very possible that none of those ads were seen by a human and the reality is that wersquove seen from repeated documents in my exposures that Facebook AI systems only catch a very tiny minority of offending contentrdquo Haugen also disclosed that Facebook collects data on kids who say they are problematic users which essentially means they are addicted to Instagram andor Facebook She claims this is done by design to make sure new users establish regular habits on the platforms Haugen asserts Facebook is aware that their platforms hurt kids and noted the escalating rates of depression and suicide among teens in the last decade Any parent today knows Instagram dramatically changes the experience of high school Haugen adds that is a problem There is no escape from mean girls and bullies ldquoKids who are bullied on Instagram the bullying follows them home It follows them into their bedrooms The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to themrdquo The solution according to Haugen is government intervention oversight and strict accountability She says Facebook and Instagram can be fixed but the companies must be forced to correct the problems She says Congress must act now

This summer was so busy that we took a much-needed pause this week Wersquove been so lucky to get to visit so many incredible places meet so many interesting people and do so many exciting things This week it was our turn to give back While we try to remember to say please and thank you everywhere we go we can get pretty excited and caught up in the excitement of all the great activities Mom says it happens to everybody even her so itrsquos important to take some time to ldquoresetrdquo She calls it giving back First we always love finding painted rocks on our walks so we decided to paint some walking sticks and leave them on a nearby trail in our neighborhood We also hid some gemstones and rocks It was pretty fun to check back in a few days to see if anyone had taken a walking stick (2) or moved the gems (scattered around the path) Next we visited a local cat shelter

Tabby Town in the McKinley mall They collect tabs from soda cans and magically turn it into cat food Or they bring it to the scrap metal place in exchange for money to buy food toys and supplies for sheltered cats (But we think the magic story is more fun you decide) The cats were fun to visit with too and the owner showed over 20 cats that are just waiting to be adopted Last we picked up litter on a walk around our neighborhood Mom wanted to sign us up for some big

event but we decided we didnrsquot need a big occasion We should just pick up the trash whenever we find it (Using gloves a grabber and hand sanitizer of course) It was actually a lot of fun giving back and felt pretty nice to be helping out Wersquore looking for more ways and places to give so if you have any ideas please let my mom know Kti0623yahoocom Thanks for reading and donrsquot forget to take a few minutes to ldquoresetrdquo as mom says Never get too busy to help out

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

other ways For more information please call Naturersquos Remedy in Ellicottville at 716-699-4372 facebookcomnaturesremedynet E-mail naturesremedyverizonnet The contents of this article are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis

Tips Upto skiers on weekends but the character of Ellicottville was changing rapidly In the winter vehicles parked on our main drag had a mixture of NYS Ohio Canadian and other out-of-state plates Many of the people who owned those out-of-state cars were quickly buying up homes in and around Ellicottville and using them for their winter weekend holidays Canadian flags started popping up Quality Market (now Tops) began to stock up the kinds of foods the tourists requested for the weekends and for their holidays like the Canadian Thanksgiving many just celebrated this past week The previous year the old Ellicottville train depot had just completed a relocation jaunt down Mill Street to 219 repurposed as a restaurant Literally The Depot and Ellicottville were on the move One-year newlyweds Judy and Ken Roush were living and working for a busy trendy restaurant in Massachusetts They decided they would like to do for themselves what they were successfully doing for the restaurant owners They wanted to come home and establish a restaurant of their own - Judy had her Morabito family roots and the greengrocer family business in her Buffalo background Ken graduated from the Culinary Institute of America Serving food was in their DNA While home for Kenrsquos Cattaraugus HS class reunion his dad Ralph gathered a list of restaurants that they could look at Whittling the list

down to two ldquoThe Lucky Dollarrdquo (now the Nickle Inn) and Herbiersquos Derby in Ellicottville a local watering hole for the locals previously known as Dettmans and even longer ago in the 50rsquos a home for Ellicottvillersquos 3rd grade class Judy even produced a photo of a horse-drawn delivery cart in front of the building which served as a electrical supply house around the turn of the century Choosing Herbiersquos Derby The Roushes had to decide on a name to get their liquor license When they returned to Massachusetts they held a naming contest with the staff who were excited for them but unhappy to see them leave Would they open a formal Italian restaurant or a deli They chose restaurant because The Depot had just opened with a deli focused menu The name contest was narrowed down to two ndash Tips Up Cafeacute or The T-Bar both with a skiing flavor Tips Up it was and the mighty adventure was launched The building needed upgrading (especially the kitchen) but with a lot of sweat equity they were finally ready to open Living upstairs for five years was convenient since long long hours are what made the restaurant a success Ken manned the kitchen Judy handled everything else including waitressing and bussing tables Friends like Jack Kramer and Jodi Bentley bought vases and flowers to decorate the tables hard-working people like Debbie Howard (now Halloran) and her dad Bill were hired and immediately became vital parts of the Tips Up team Kenrsquos unrelenting creativity made paper menus impractical so a chalkboard menu was developed Their

meals were served in baskets with paper liners until the day a frequent customer John Northrup said that their food was too good to be served in baskets Plates immediately replaced the baskets When asked about their delicious salad dressings and why they were never marketed Judy responded ldquothey were made fresh with no preservatives and had a five-day shelf-life If we added preservatives it would alter the tasterdquo Anton their son who ran the restaurant 2015-2018 worked with Cornell for a time trying to find a way to bottle it but found that it couldnrsquot be done without preservatives This writer asked Judy how she felt today regarding her experience as an early boom-time restaurant owner in Ellicottville She said ldquoIt was the best 365 years of my life and I greatly miss the support and friendship of our community Significant people brought a lot to Tips Up Debbie and Bill brought their family and friends who brought their co-workers and friends Jack Kramer introduced Tips Up to the people at HoliMont Gwen and Bill Barrett from the Birdwalk sent their dinner customers to us for lunches It was beautiful teamwork that broiught early success I miss and thank them allrdquo

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

other ways For more information please call Naturersquos Remedy in Ellicottville at 716-699-4372 facebookcomnaturesremedynet E-mail naturesremedyverizonnet The contents of this article are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis

Healthwise Breast CareFor the Love of Your Breasts

By lilian d dirito Holistic Wellness amp essential oils coacH

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle one in EIGHT women will get breast cell unbalance According to some researchers one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cell unbalance is primarily an estrogen-dependent one That means it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen not just estrogen our body produces but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens So the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called ldquoxenoestrogensrdquo in check It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics Another source of xenoestrogens based on different research is plastics Some examples are soft plastic toys soft plastic containers and water bottles There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents household cleaning products shampoos perfumes and cosmetics Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens The liver is one of the main organs

in charge of breaking down these toxins You might think then let the liver do its work However it is not that simple because the liver has more than 500 different functions it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly Foods high in sulfur are very important like garlic onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli Brussels sprouts cabbage cauliflower kale mustard greens and turnips There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cell unbalance caused by excess estrogen also for hot flashes before and during menopause It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants like a green drink and an antioxidant formula that contains pomegranate quercitin and mangosteen You also need good fats in your body from nuts avocados deep ocean fish and coconut oil plus supplement with flax seed oil and Omega 3 New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patientsrsquo months before and after surgery Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other

breast cancers The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sunrsquos rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced For starters experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient The second user is your breasts Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well Iodine can be found in supplements like pure organic kelp dulse and concentrated black walnut A progesterone cream is important as it may help to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens Also the use of underarm antiperspirant deodorants blocks the release of toxins from sweat glands in the armpits and contributes to lymphatic stagnation Try using a natural enzyme spray with essential oils a quick recipe from Sylvia Rogers BS Nursing is to add enzyme spray to a 2oz bottle fill it 34 then add 35 drops of a calm blend formula and 10 drops of Lemon oil I love this easy natural deodorant smells beautifully Make sure to avoid perfumed detergents and softeners also air fresheners those could be high xenoestrogen driven instead use fragrance free soaps and detergents add some fresh essential oils like lemon orange lemongrass Avoid perfumes and colognes use organic frankincense oil for your face and body mixed

ldquoAutumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flowerrdquo ~ Albert Camus

With so many wonderful choices of jewel toned rich autumn colours it is difficult to hone in on just one leaf plant tree or flower but the Asters of autumn add a strikingly magical touch to the landscape The gorgeous bright purple Asters that we see in the rural landscapes of New York at this time are the New England Aster that grow in meadows of all regions of North America One of the more easily identifiable features of the New England Aster is the large number of purple ray flowers of usually forty or more Another feature is the hairy stems and

leaves that exist on most of this type of flower species Truly the New England Aster is one of the most beautiful wildflowers there is They are perfectly combined with Golden Rod as purple and yellow are complementary colours and opposites on the colour wheel There are about 250 species of Asters native to North America Europe and Asia Many species and a variety of hybrids are popular in home gardens because of their attractive and colourful flowers but there is also the benefit that they attract loads of late season pollinating insects Research by entomologist Doug Tallamy of University of Delaware lists Asters and Goldenrods as the wildflowers that

support the most species of butterflies and moths Deer usually avoid both of them All Asters are easy to grow from seed and offer a very inexpensive way to add a diversity of plants to your landscape Shady location varieties include White Wood Aster Large-leaved Wood Aster (pale lavender with a yellow center) and the Blue Wood Aster with billowy lavender blue flowers Sunny locations are good for the New England Aster in bright purple or pink the Tall White Aster and the Smooth Blue Aster Their fluffy light ethereal appearances are quite lovely in the late autumn garden when other plants are fading If you take notice now you will see many different wild varieties growing in fields meadows roadsides and lakeside Asters are also great in flower arrangements Mix Asters with flower stalks of ornamental grasses late-season zinnias and sedum in a vase Next time yoursquore out and about notice all of the bright and vibrant purple pink lavender pale blue and white asters that adorn our autumn landscapes Aster in Greek means ldquoStarrdquo and they certainly are the stars of autumn meadow

with a fragrance free body lotion Last but not least keep your lymph moving The breast is part of the lymphatic system it is very important to keep it clean and moving dry brush exercise especially jumping in a rebounder is very helpful

Also realize that long periods of worry and anger can be internal toxins draining your health Take some time to experience joy laughter love and peacefulness through relaxing with friends family and companion animals spending time in nature walking dancing yoga tai chi or other forms of movement watching funny movies meditating drawing painting or using your creativity in

other ways For more information please call Naturersquos Remedy in Ellicottville at 716-699-4372 facebookcomnaturesremedynet E-mail naturesremedyverizonnet The contents of this article are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis
