EDITOR’S NOTE

A healthier 2023

Every year I insist I’m going to take better care of myself. And every year I get a little bit closer, but never alone. We rely on medical providers to offer guidance, advice, and quality care. In this issue of Forever Young, we gratefully acknowledge the selfless work of health care professionals by sharing Buffalo Spree’s 2023 Top Doctors list.

This list is researched, rigorously screened, and provided by Professional Research Services (PRS), a research company based in Troy, Michigan. The professionals listed were peer-selected in a survey conducted by PRS, then all screened, license-verified, and reviewed for infractions. The final list is featured on pages 11 to 22.

Elsewhere in this issue, we celebrate Valentine’s Day with tips on navigating dating and, in a nod

to St. Valentine himself, researching Italian heritage. As we brave this Western New York winter, we have advice on helping your plants do the same.

Wishing you wellness and warmth,

Woody plants in heavy snow

How you can help them survive

During the October Surprise of 2006, you may have heard the horrible sound of trees cracking from the weight of snow on branches and unshed leaves. Recent snowstorms in WNY inflicted snow and wind damage on woody plants. For the future, what can the garden/caretaker do to minimize damage?

First, remember that a light snow covering does not present a problem. Light snow is airy and protective, but too much snow weight can push branches all the way to the ground. (In an ideal world we would all be outside with brushes stopping the accumulation of snow!) While it is appalling to witness bent and broken trees or shrubs, do not yank the branches hoping to release them from the weight of the snow; this can tear and leave them misshapen. If feasible, use a broom to remove loose snow. Practice patience while waiting

for thawing as branches frequently return to their original positions. If they don’t, at least you have not made matters worse.

This winter, it was sometimes difficult to find somewhere to move the accumulated snow. As much as possible, move dense snow away from your trees and shrubs to prevent further damage. Tree knocked over? As soon as possible, get help to upright it so exposed roots don’t die. (I still remember Governor Mario Como talking about teamwork to our students at the Science Magnet

School of Buffalo. During his childhood, a giant oak tree tipped over in a snow and windstorm. Neighbors gathered, used ropes to pull it upright, and weighed down the roots with soil. It lived!)

Next spring, before deciduous trees and shrubs have leafed out, take a look at their shape. Are there multiple leaders? (Leaders refer to the top of the tree. There should be one main trunk, not several as this leads to a weak tree.) Are branches crisscrossing? Are there areas of dead branches?

Ask a certified arborist for advice if you are uncomfortable making pruning decisions. It is better to pay a professional than to lose a treasured tree or shrub or to prune incorrectly. From personal experience, I can say it’s often safer as well. I have arborist training from classes but I am not capable of climbing trees to prune them!

The rest of the year should be regarded as a time to get trees and shrubs ready for winter. Doing new plantings? Choose indigenous shrubs and trees as they have a better chance of survival over the seasons. Learn what to expect from a tree as it matures. Trees with dense canopies (upper layer of a tree) don’t do as well in heavy snow as those with wide branching because they can be pushed over by the wind. Conifers with a naturally occurring pyramid shape tend to have leaders pushed downward by accumulating snow, which can potentially damage them.

Plant trees and shrubs properly. Keep them watered until frost; this keeps roots growing downward and stronger. Near the surface, they are more likely to experience temperature, wind, and drying.

Take care of your trees and shrubs. Treat them well and they will do the rest. FY

Diving into dating

It’s never too late for romance

This month’s Valentine’s Day is a reminder that romance exists—whether or not we’re currently in a loving relationship. For the single among us, perhaps it prompts the thought that it’s never too late for romance, but does that mean dating?

Just the word “dating” can revive old anxieties. Some may even recall the teen years with their inopportune breakouts, kissing with braces, and fear of being stood up. Dating in middle age and beyond can be just as challenging, especially after being divorced or widowed. Both men and women can experience anxiety and disappointment when finding a partner proves difficult.

While about seventeen percent of people may suffer sarmassophobia, which translates into fear of love play and essentially means fear of dating and relationships, Innovative Match founder Cassie Zampa-Keim and author of Finding Love After 50 says the biggest reason her clients fear dating is likelihood of rejection. “It can be hard to put yourself out there, be scrutinized and judged by others, and risk getting hurt, especially if someone’s hurt you before,” she says, but reminds clients that “the reward can far exceed the risk.”

After three years of widowhood, Jacci Reed of Lockport says the “loneliness of being alone” really set in. “I missed not having someone to just talk with, go for a ride with, go out to dinner with,” she explains. “I missed companionship in my life. I had a lot of widow friends that were now my new circle of friends. Although the support was wonderful, there was a void in my life.” Reed wasn’t interested in cohabitation or marriage, but in meeting a close friend

“I could trust, respect, and just enjoy being with each other.” Rather than look for love, Reed let it come to her; she met her “now forever companion” at a church coffee hour. They started as friends, then eased into a relationship. Her advice is simple: “Don’t let anyone—family, friends—make you feel you do not have the right to find a new reason for your life. You deserve to live your life with as much happiness and joy that you can find in it.”

North Tonawanda’s Donna Kohl says it took about six years after being widowed for her to start dating, and that was driven by a desire for friendship. “It’s great to have good conversation, enjoy dinner and a drink together,” she says.

After ten years of widowhood, “Anonymous” from East Amherst enjoys social situations, but is clear that she will engage only in “holy friendships”; sex without marriage is “off the table. “Ethically do what you feel is best,” she says. “It depends on your spiritual beliefs and morality.”

As for timing, you’ll know when it’s right. “Every person knows [when] the time comes for giving yourself approval to move forward and find whatever type of companionship you want in your life,” says Reed. Friendship, serious commitment, marriage—there is no right or wrong choice.”

And that includes not dating at all. Widowed several years, Buffalo

native Sandra Edwards is not seeking a relationship. “Most of my friends are not interested in dating. They find most men are looking for a nurse or a purse,” says Edwards. “Men seem

to need and want someone on their arm. They also seem to want a lot of catering to. Most of the women I know do not care to cater to anyone. If they want to go someplace or do something, they don’t want to be spoken to about it. They live life on their terms.” Several men who prefer to remain anonymous said they don’t date because of the effort, time, and money involved. Men of means can be hesitant, wondering if women like them or what’s in their wallet. Other confirmed bachelors prefer independence and emotional distance over intimacy. If you are ready to take the plunge, get creative. Experiment with dating apps, in-person meet-up groups, book clubs, or exercise classes. Let family and friends know you’re interested in dating again. Someone in your circle might know a great match for you! FY

Building your Italian family tree

Starting your research online

More than four million Italians entered the US from 1880-1925. After 1900, the majority, including my grandparents, fled from poverty in Southern Italy. Today, Italian Americans are the nation’s fifth largest ethnic group.

I’m a broken record when I say “start with your relatives,” but it’s always true. Invite them for Sunday dinner

and be prepared with questions. Our family elders are a treasure trove of information. Your job is getting it out. Cannolis can help.

Next, use US genealogical records to work your way back to Italy. Uncovering your ancestors’ towns or villages of birth is essential as Italian records are kept at a local level. Marriage, death, and immigration

records may provide the information that is vital to finding them prior to immigration. Searching the database at statueofliberty.org can get you started. Surnames can also be a guide as to where your family is from. Find Italian surname maps at italianames. com.

Iwouldn’t be a good Italian if I didn’t acknowledge the importance of February 14 in Italy. It’s the Feast Day of Saint Valentine, the Patron Saint of Love for Italians. Of the many tales of Saint Valentine, the most held is of Valentino di Roma, a priest who married couples in secret after the reigning Claudius the Cruel outlawed marriage thinking it would make young men better soldiers. When his clandestine activities were discovered, Valentino was sentenced to death. Awaiting execution, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter and sent her a letter professing his love; he signed it, of course, “from your Valentine.” Ah, romance. sources for online Italian records. Explore the Italy research page to find birth and death records, censuses, church records, and more. Italian church records can be especially helpful as they have been faithfully recorded since the 1500s. Search for town parishes at ChiesaCattolica.it, the website of the Italian Catholic Church. While the site only serves

Village name in hand, head to familysearch.org, one of the largest

active parishes, records of defunct churches were likely transferred to a nearby church so have a map handy. The first website I found when starting my research is The Ancestors Portal (antenati.san.beniculturali. it). This site, which has an English language option at top right, provides access to digitized Italian civil registers in the State Archives. Not all records are available, but it’s worthy of a bookmark to check for updates periodically.

Because towns and parishes created nearly all genealogical records, research will eventually lead to the Town Vital Records Office where your ancestor lived. Use comuni-italiani.it to locate contact information for these offices, then write a letter requesting information. You can find more information and sample letters at geocities.italian. Although awaiting a response may test your patience, it’ll be worth it.

A warning that might be obvious: Italian records are in Italian or, in the case of Italian Catholic Church records, Latin. Don’t let this hinder your search! As a language dictionary hoarder (donations accepted!), I keep one by my side. Although frustrating at times, climbing your Italian family tree can be rewarding. Perseverance is key. Happy hunting and non mollare mai (never give up)! FY

Let Summit do your Medicaid

As a former Nursing Home Administrator, current President of Summit Health Care Solutions Darlene Maclay witnessed firsthand the complex, stressful, and time-consuming process families faced when applying for Medicaid for loved ones. She saw numerous applications denied, leaving families feeling as though their only option was to hire a lawyer with expensive fees to guide them through the process. So, in 2002, she founded Summit Health Care Solutions.

Over the past twenty years, Summit has represented more than 30,000 families and has grown to be the largest firm providing Medicaid representation and planning in New York. Summit’s compassionate case managers and Medicaid experts have consistently provided families with personal service and peace of mind.

Vice President Kate Schaefer and Director of Operations Laura Laurrie have worked with Maclay for more than fifteen years, along with a team of case managers who each bring more than ten years of Medicaid experience.

Maclay herself has been a Certified Medicaid Planner since 2015. Medicaid isn’t just something Summit does—it’s all it does.

What sets Summit apart? Maclay understands the value of precious time spent with loved ones after their admission to a facility, so her business model ensures families can do just that. The Summit team prides itself on doing all the work and doesn’t expect the families to do it for them.

Summit understands the emotional challenges of having an elderly loved one in a facility and believes its job is

to put families at ease. When you call Summit, you don’t deal with an outof-town call center or an answering machine; you speak to a Summit Medicaid Expert. When you work with Summit, one of these compassionate, experienced experts is assigned to you, and your time is spent with your loved one—not collecting documentation.

When asked why some families hire lawyers to represent them for Medicaid or for Medicaid planning instead of turning to Summit, Maclay is quick to answer: “Families simply don’t realize that there is a more

experienced, compassionate and affordable alternative—we are the best kept secret in New York.”

And Maclay says, “If your loved one is home, healthy, and looking for an estate plan, call your attorney. If your loved one is in a facility or waiting to be placed, call Summit today.” FY

LOVE IS ON THE AIR

February is always considered the month of love due to Valentine’s Day but, at the BIG WECK radio, love is always in the air and on the air. How can you not love the greatest music ever made in history from the artists who dominated the 1960s, the British Invasion, and Motown?

People always ask: what is your favorite radio station? We hope you tell them the BIG WECK, because we play the greatest oldies ever made, presented by beloved local personalities. Music is delivered to you by trusted names like Joe Chille, Roger Christian, Tom Donahue, Dan Rinelli, and more.

Today, more and more listeners are taking advantage of all the different ways to listen to the BIG WECK. Of course, there’s always your radio dial at 1230AM, 102.9FM, 100.1FM, and 100.5FM, but now you can ask Alexa to “Play the BIG WECK,” or stream at bigweck.com. And, if that isn’t enough, download the BIG WECK app to your smartphone or tablet. It’s free in your app store.

You gotta LOVE it! The BIG WECK....Buffalo‘s Oldies Station.
