Connections: Education Friday - September Harvest; Sleep Apnea Awareness

We start off this edition of Education Friday by learning just how good this September was for the Finger Lakes. Some are calling it the “best ever” as it helped to get harvest cranking at vineyards across the region. Before September, the harvest was looking bleak. So how good was this September? We find out with Hans Walter-Peterson of the Cornell Cooperative Extension Finger Lakes Grape Program.

Then, we learn about new options to treat sleep apnea. Chances are someone you know, maybe even yourself, suffers from sleep apnea. In recognition of Sleep Apnea Awareness Week, we talk with Dr. Jason Lyons of the Rochester Regional Health System.
