Fundraiser honors fallen Gates Firefighter Joe Manuse
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – A fundraiser was held Saturday afternoon to support the Joe Manuse Residential Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Foundation. The foundation honors the life of fallen Gates Fire District Firefighter Joseph Manuse who died in September 2019. The benefit took place at First Responders Park in Rochester.
His life work was to keep the community safe by raising awareness of the importance of having working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms because they save lives every day. Manuse believed 'no one should perish because they could not afford to purchase these devices.'
The foundation was established October 16, 2019, and it makes sure that smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are made available to all fire departments in Monroe and Ontario County. The project was established through monetary donations, discounts on alarms and alarm donations.

What happens when we sneeze, and why does it feel good?
Here's what happens in your body when you sneeze Here's what happens in your body when you sneeze Here's what happens in your body when you sneeze The sights of summer, like flowers and grass, can lead to the sound of sneezing. For some, it's constant, for others, it's sporadic, but we all know how it feels. "When we get exposed to dust, strong smells, perfume, cigarette smoke, you are going to sneeze," said Dr. Pramod Kelkar, an allergist with Allina Health. Sometimes even the sun can make some people sneeze. "The brightness, the light can also trigger this lining of the nose," Kelkar said. Kelkar says sneezing is a neurological reflex. "The nerve impulses, they send a signal to the brain stem, where the sneezing center is located. Once the brain stem receives that signal, it sends a signal back to the motor neurons, that means muscles of the chest, the abdomen and throat area. They constrict, they increase the pressure, they constrict. Mouth opens, the nose opens and the air is pushed out at about 100 mph to get rid of that dust, to get rid of whatever foreign body is going into the respiratory track." That's why it's key to muffle and cover a sneeze. The National Institute of Health reports, "A sneeze can create 40,000 virus-containing droplets that reach a radius of 7-8 meters and suspend in the air for up to 10 minutes." So why does our body have such a dramatic response to simply protect? "Because if the air is not coming out at high speed, you will not be able to get rid of that dust particle. So it is a protective mechanism," Kelkar said. It's a process that sounds painful, but, oddly, it's the opposite. Some people say it feels "good" after you sneeze. "So the pressure is building in your chest, in the abdomen, in the throat area, that pressure is relieved. So you feel like that," Kelkar said. Research also shows some endorphins are released, creating a natural runner's high. Even though they are tough to suppress, sneezes are quick to endure. Kelkar says some people are triggered to sneeze when they walk in and out of warm and cold environments. He says the best way to get ahead of sneezes is to do a daily saline nose spray or rinse.

Party Politics Is Said to Have Played a Role in Kennedy's Firing of Vaccine Advisers
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has promised to make decisions rooted in 'gold-standard science,' fired an entire committee of vaccine advisers in part because all were appointed by a Democratic president and some had made donations to Democrats, according to a White House official and another person familiar with Mr. Kennedy's thinking. When he announced the firings on Monday, Mr. Kennedy cited the members' financial ties to industry and their 'immersion in a system of industry-aligned incentives.' But according to the White House official and the other person, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an internal matter, Mr. Kennedy was also concerned with 'political conflicts.' The mass firing was another example of the unusually muscular — and sometimes chaotic — way that Mr. Kennedy has exercised his authority, often while setting vaccine policy. Like President Trump, Mr. Kennedy inserts himself in policy matters ordinarily left to underlings, and sometimes announces new policies on social media, with scant or no evidence to support them. Delegates to the American Medical Association, the nation's largest doctors group, which is holding its annual meeting in Chicago this week, adopted a resolution on Tuesday calling for Mr. Kennedy to immediately reverse his decision, and directed its leadership to ask the Senate Health Committee to investigate it. Two public health law experts said on Tuesday that Mr. Kennedy had the authority to fire all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, or A.C.I.P., which gives guidance to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But both said that federal law required him not to act in an arbitrary manner. 'The secretary has ultimate authority, but he can't exercise that authority arbitrarily, casually, haphazardly — he actually needs to use a deliberative process,' said one of those experts, Lawrence O. Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University. 'I think he's very vulnerable to a judicial challenge.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
