Facts about the autumnal equinox Crisp autumn air will soon be rolling in and the leaves on trees will be trading their vivid green hues for shades of orange, red and purple. Fall

begins on the autumnal equinox. Although people may see it as the official kickoff to bonfires and flannels, that’s not the only interesting part of this remarkable day. • It’s a moment and not a day. Despite what many people think, the autumnal equinox is not an entire day. In fact, the equinox is a precise astronomical event. It occurs at the exact moment the sun crosses the celestial equator, an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth’s equator. • It’s not “equal night.” Although the word equinox comes from the Latin word “aequus” (equal) and “nox” (night), we do not get exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness on the equinox. This is because of how the Earth’s atmosphere

refracts sunlight. The sun appears above the horizon even after it has technically set, according to the National Weather Service. • Northern lights can be seen. Those hoping to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis will find the weeks surrounding the autumnal equinox are the prime window to do so, according to NASA. Geomagnetic storms that trigger these stunning light displays occur twice as frequently around

the fall and spring equinoxes compared to the summer and winter solstices. • It’s not always on the same day. The autumnal equinox does not fall on the same day each year. It usually lands on September 22 or 23, but it can occasionally occur on September 21 or 24 (in the northern hemisphere), indicates the U.S. Naval Observatory. The autumnal equinox is a unique and often enjoyable day on the calendar.

essential items that the children will receive during our drive-through event.” Operation Warm Hearts is a charitable organization based in Olean that provides new clothing and needed accessories to children in the community. Its mission includes ensuring that children have access to necessities such as coats, boots, winter accessories, underwear, socks, shoes, clothing, and other essential items throughout the year.

In August, the Rotary Club of Ellicottville partnered with Operation Warm Hearts to help more than 110 local children prepare for the new school year by providing them with individualized items based on their specific needs. The children received a variety of necessities, including school supplies, clothing, hygiene products and a brand-new book bag. Book bags and toilet paper for the project were generously provided by National Grid, adding another important layer of community support to the effort. The project was made possible in part through the Rotary Club of Ellicottville’s annual Rotary District 7090 grant. This year, the club chose to direct its grant funding toward supporting the mission of Operation Warm Hearts and its efforts to provide local children and families with essential

items and resources throughout the region. “Operation Warm Hearts is extremely grateful for the amazing grant and the support

of our mission from the Ellicottville Rotary. This grant allowed us to provide back-to-school essentials that will help children start off the year feeling confident and

comfortable,” said Ann Marie Sitter-Tompkins, co-founder and president of Operation Warm Hearts. “Thank you also to the volunteers who helped put together these

The organization was established following a 2020 coat drive when volunteers quickly realized that the need extended far beyond a single winter clothing distribution. Today, Operation Warm Hearts serves children and families throughout Cattaraugus County as well as the BolivarRichburg school district in Allegany County. Its work is centered on providing children with basic necessities in a supportive and dignified way. The Rotary Club of Ellicottville has a long history of supporting projects that strengthen

the local community. Through Rotary District 7090, clubs can apply for matching grants to help fund qualifying community projects. These grants allow local Rotary clubs to leverage their resources and make an even greater impact in their communities. For this project, however, the grant was only one part of the equation. As Rotarians and Operation Warm Hearts volunteers gathered to sort, organize and prepare the items for more than 110 children, the spirit of fellowship and community was evident. Volunteers worked side by side, knowing that the bags they were preparing would soon be in the hands of local children heading back to school. Organizers said the support of National Grid also demonstrates the importance of community partnerships. By providing book bags and toilet paper, National Grid helped ensure that even more of the children’s basic needs could be met through the project.

Measles case reported in Cattaraugus County Pennsylvania ranks third nationwide for the number of cases in the current outbreak. South Carolina leads the nation with 670 cases, while Utah has seen 526.

BY BOB CLARK

Measles has returned to Cattaraugus County for the first time in more than 35 years. Cattaraugus County Public Health Director Dr. Kevin Watkins, presenting to the county board of health’s monthly meeting Wednesday, Sept. 2, said the county received verification of a measles case that morning.

Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, with little community spread due to high vaccination rates. A new wave of outbreaks started in January 2025.

“We had not seen a case in Cattaraugus County since 1990,” Watkins said, noting that 197 cases were reported that year. Like during the 1990 outbreak, most of the cases in the state have been part of the “plain community,” such as among Amish populations, Watkins said. Such groups often have high rates of vaccine hesitancy, he said, but the county has mobilized to provide them when requested. “They have actually been calling the health department asking for us to come out and provide vaccines — which is a change from the past,” Watkins said. The best way to stop the spread of the disease is through vaccinations, Watkins said. “It’s the most contagious disease we have,” Watkins shared, with a 90% chance of

acquiring the airborne disease if not vaccinated. However, Cattaraugus County has the lowest percentage of children receiving a measles vaccine by age 2 out of any county in Western New York, with 73.9%. Watkins noted that due to how contagious the disease is, herd immunity — the level at which the disease does not easily spread in a community, thus protecting those who can not or have not been vaccinated — is about 95%. “We have a bit of work

to do,” Watkins added. As of Aug. 30, 2,903 cases had been reported nationwide, up from under 2,300 for all of 2025. The Centers for

Disease Control reports that 94% of cases are among those who have not been vaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown, and only 3% have received two or more vaccinations. About

two-thirds of cases have been among those under 20 years old. About 8% of cases have required hospitalization, and two deaths have been reported in Pennsylvania.

Allegany and Steuben counties lead the state with six cases each, Watkins said, while Chautauqua County has reported one case. Pennsylvania has reported 540 cases as of Monday, mostly in the central and southeastern counties in the state. No cases have been reported in McKean or Potter counties, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. A viral infection, measles was once a common ailment associated with childhood. While not directly fatal in most cases, the disease can lead to respiratory issues, swelling of the brain or other potentially deadly complications, Watkins said.

Two new youth programs at Cornell Cooperative Extension ELLICOTTVILLE — Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County announces the launch of two new youth programs — Project S.O.W. (Seeds of Wonder) and Seed to Salad. These programs will help participants learn the skills needed to garden in a world where food supply and nutrition are not always guaranteed. Project S.O.W. is a curriculum for ages 13-19

and will focus on food gardening with justice in mind. The program will center on personal growth, community connection and equity. Youth will work together to investigate how to grow food, explore their relationship with the land and the food system and practice leadership. Participants will discover the benefits of providing their families and communities with fresh and affordable food, and will gain

firsthand experience in the self-determination, confidence and connection that gardening brings. Youth are becoming increasingly aware of food insecurity and Project S.O.W. will help them understand that we do not have to “do it all” to make a difference. When students hear about the good being done in their communities and feel they have a voice and a sense of belonging, then they can connect

with this idea and it will foster positive youth development. The Seed to Salad program engages youth aged 3-12 in growing salad gardens of their own. The program emphasizes youth decision-making and uses a multidisciplinary approach involving nutrition, physical activity, art, planning and problem-solving. Participants will also use skills in math, science

and language arts, develop horticulture skills and learn how to make use of minimum garden space. Because both programs focus on youth decision-making and have a high level of youth participation, students are more likely to stay interested and committed. Additionally, these programs can be offered either in school or during after-school activities.

Cornell Cooperative Extension is offering both programs to Cattaraugus County school districts and area youth programs. If interested, contact Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County at cattaraugus@ cornell.edu or (716) 699-2377, or contact Sheldon Kenyon, Food Systems Educator at CCE, by emailing smk348@ cornell.edu.

100 Years Ago This Month: Historical events from September 1926 The month of September has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in September 1926. • One hundred people lose their lives in Spain on September 1 due to flooding from storms. The storms come after a 55-day drought. • The funeral train of actor Rudolph Valentino arrives in Chicago on September 3 after

departing New York a day earlier. Despite a heavy police presence, several grieving fans break through a police cordon and run onto the tracks. • Fifteen members of the League of Nations Council unanimously accept a resolution to admit Germany to the League on September 4. A condition of that acceptance was Germany’s pledge that the country would never again go to war.

• Five prisoners are shot and killed in Raymondville, Texas, by a group of Willacy County officers on September 7. The five prisoners were being held on suspicion of killing two Willacy County peace officers on September 5. • Pope Pius XI publicly condemns the Action française movement on September 8. The far-right, monarchist and national political movement in France objected to the legacy of the French Revolution. • Roughly 1,000 Greek rebels attack government troops in Athens on September 9. Many of the troops are loyal to deposed Greek dictator Theodoros Pangalos, but their revolt is quickly put down. • Twenty-six-year-old Italian anarchist Gino Lucetti throws a bomb at the limousine of Benito Mussolini on September 11. Mussolini is unhurt, but eight others are injured and Lucetti is quickly captured and imprisoned. • The Aloha Tower opens in Honolulu, Hawaii on September 11. The tower ultimately

welcomes hundreds of thousands of immigrants to Honolulu and draws comparisons to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. • The formation of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is announced on September 13. • Argentina enacts law No. 11,357 on September 14. The law provides more legal protection for married women and expands civil rights for women. • English writer Rudyard Kipling publishes his Debits and Credits collection on September 15. The collection includes the poem, “The Vineyard,” which is interpreted as a criticism of the United States for its late entry into World War I. • Los Angeles County District Attorney Asa Keyes orders the arrest of five individuals on September 16. Among those to be arrested is evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, who is accused of conspiracy to corrupt public morals. • A Category 4 hurricane strikes Miami and much of southern Florida on September

18. The hurricane causes an estimated $100 million in damage and ultimately kills more than 370 people. • Gangster Al Capone escapes harm when The North Side Gang conducts a failed assassination attempt on him in Cicero, Illinois, on September 20. The failed attempt is made in broad daylight while Capone is eating at his headquarters. • Two men die during a failed takeoff as French aviator René Fonck attempts to conduct the first non-stop transatlantic flight on September 21. Fonck attempted to take off from Long Island’s Roosevelt Field but he and his co-pilot were forced to leap to safety when the landing gear of his plane collapsed under the weight of the four passengers while the plane traveled on the runway. • American inventor Thomas Edison declares radio broadcasting to be a commercial failure on September 22. • A crowd of more than 132,000 people watch challenger Gene Tunney defeat

heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey on September 23 at the Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia. Dempsey was fighting his first bout in more than three years. • John Coltrane is born in Hamlet, North Carolina, on September 23. Coltrane would become one of the most influential figures in 20th century music before succumbing to cancer in 1967. • Henry Ford introduces the eighthour workday and fiveday workweek at the Ford Motor Company on September 25. • American burglars Ray Terrill and Elmer H. Inman escape from prison in Oklahoma on September 27. The men would ultimately form the Kimes-Terrill Gang alongside gangster Matthew Kimes. • The controversial play The Captive opens on Broadway on September 29. The play is among the first Broadway plays to address the subject of lesbianism and is shut down after 160 performances.

Arts Alliance Fund. “Night Lights has become an autumn tradition here in Western New York,” said Nila Griffis Lampman, executive director of Griffis Sculpture Park. “We have so many returning visitors attend because it provides them with another opportunity to view the lights and explore. It’s also a fun

way to support our sculpture park.” Guests are able to venture on an unguided walk through a portion of the Mill Valley Road site of the sculpture park. The walk is about 0.7 miles and is on an up-and-back nature trail that goes through forests and fields. Some of the park’s favorite sculptures, such as

The Praying Mantis, The Bathers and The Mushrooms are bathed in light. Guests are encouraged to dress for outdoor conditions and bring flashlights for a few darker sections of the trail. Night Lights will close on evenings of excessive rain. Weather announcements are made on the sculpture

park’s Facebook and Instagram pages. Night Lights occurs on 15 evenings, spread out over five weeks. The final evening is Oct. 17 . The event dates are Sept. 18-19, Sept. 24-26, Oct. 1-3, Oct. 8-11 and Oct. 1517. Admission is $15 for adults, $9 for children 7 to 12 and free for age 6

and under. Ticket info can be found at EventBrite.com. More than 250 sculptures are found at the 300-acre Griffis Sculpture Park, making it the United States’ largest sculpture park. The park is owned and operated by the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which also owns the Essex Arts Center in Buffalo.
