MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION IDEAS

Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craft-themed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun afternoon and produce mementos that Mom will cherish for years to come. Dads and kids can plan the project in advance without Mom’s knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for Mom and giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served.

DID YOU KNOW?

The American Association of Poison Control Centers says that fatal and nonfatal poisonings overwhelmingly occur among adults. This is largely attributed to the opioid epidemic in the United States and overdoses linked to prescription medications. The National Safety Council says more than 90 percent of nonfatal poisonings and 99 percent of fatalities attributed to poisonings occur in adults older than 19.The NSC says that,in 2019,the most recent year for data,there were 65,773 preventable poisoning deaths in the United States.

MOMENTS IN TIME

On May 1, 1931, President Herbert Hoover officially dedicates New York City’s Empire State Building. The building went up in just over a year, under budget and well ahead of schedule. (The History Channel)

On May 3, 1469, the Italian philosopher and writer Niccolo Machiavelli is born. Machiavelli became one of the fathers of modern political theory. The term “Machiavellian” is used to describe an action undertaken for gain without regard for right or wrong. (The History Channel)

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles

Why Are Seniors Targeted for Scams?

In one year alone, seniors lost over $3 billion to scammers, and it’s gotten worse every year. e 60-69 age group was bad enough, but the dollar losses rose even more a er age 70, and much more a er age 80.

Why are we targeted?

e thieves believe two things about us: We’re all rich and have great credit, having worked our whole lives, and, worst of all, that we won’t tell anyone if we lose money to them. ose two things alone make us constant targets.

All scammers have to do to turn us into victims, according to a study by Stanford and AARP, is raise our emotions. Whether happiness or anger, it doesn’t matter, because either will push us to hand over our information or our money.

For example, scammers will say we’ve won a big prize, like the lottery, but to claim that prize we need to send them processing fees in advance. We think about that prize and our good sense goes out the window.

Emotions come into play when a scammer calls pretending to be a grandchild in trouble. We’re asked to send money right away. We’re upset, and we do. But the emotional pleas for money don’t end there. Romance scams are huge, and too many lonely seniors send cash to their new love without questioning it.

Scammers who pretend to be from the government, such as the IRS, who frighten us into paying money, raise our emotions as well.

e list of scams directed at the elderly is nearly endless: investments, lottery wins, IRS tax bills, low-cost prescriptions, charities, tech repair, cemetery debts, romance, reverse mortgage, help signing up for Medicare, auto warranties ...

Beware. If you allow yourself to be scammed once, they will be back, because you’ll be on a list of people who can be fooled.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* In 1911, Elmer McCurdy robbed a passenger train he thought contained thousands of dollars, and was shot by lawmen after making off with just $46. His unclaimed corpse was then embalmed and sold to a traveling carnival. It would be used as a prop or attraction in haunted houses and wax museums for the next 66 years (even showing up on the set of “The Six Million Dollar Man”), until he was finally buried at the famous Boot Hill cemetery in Dodge City, Kansas.

ORAL HEALTH LINKED TO OVERALL HEALTH

Oral health can tell us a lot about our overall health. Our mouths are full of bacteria, and our mouths are also the gateway to the rest of our body through ourdigestiveandrespiratorytracts.Daily brushingandflossinghelpkeepbacteria at bay, but oral bacteria are associated with several health conditions. Poor oral health has been linked to heart conditionssuchasendocarditis,clogged arteries, and strokes. Oral bacteria can enter lungs and cause conditions like pneumonia. Gum disease has been linked to pregnancy complications including premature birth and low birth weight. Conversely, some medical conditions can affect oral health—like diabetes,osteoporosis,Alzheimer’s,and HIV/AIDS—by reducing bone mass and the body’s resistance to infections. Acknowledging the inherent connection between oral health and a patient’s

overall health, your dentist will use many techniques to diagnose, treat, restore, and promote total patient well-being.

Patient With Risk of Breast Cancer Questions Safety of Yearly MRI

DEAR DR. ROACH: Due to a slight genetic risk of breast cancer (my Tyrer-Cuzick Model score was 20.6%), my doctor wants me to get breast MRIs with contrast annually. I am concerned about long-term exposure to the gadolinium-based contrast dye. I’ve learned that this heavy metal is considered safe, but traces of it can be stored in the brain and other body tissues.

I am 49 and in very good health. I also get mammograms annually. I consulted my doctor about spacing out my MRIs every two to three years, but he said I should have an MRI every year. So I could be getting these MRIs for the next 35 or so years. Do the benefits of contrast dye outweigh the harm in a person with my health profile? -- S.A.

ANSWER: I’m afraid I don’t have a good answer for you. It is true that most authorities recommend an intensive breast cancer surveillance program for women at a high risk of breast cancer, in the range of a 20% to 25% lifetime risk. (The average risk for developing breast cancer for a woman born today is estimated to be about 13%.)

The Tyrer-Cuzick model of estimating breast cancer risk tends to give higher estimates than the other commonly used models, such as the BRCAPRO. Other models may not put you over the threshold for intensive screening with MRIs, which is usually combined with mammograms. The question about gadolinium (the chemical element used in the contrast dye for MRIs) is important because some people do store gadolinium in various tissues, including the brain, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. (People with kidney disease can develop a skin disease due to gadolinium, so they aren’t recommended to have MRIs with gadolinium.)

Although gadolinium can stay in the body for months or years, there has been no evidence of harm from gadolinium in brain tissue, despite these agents having been used for many years. Some agents have less retention than others. The U.S. FDA has mandated patient guides for these contrast agents, which relay the information above.

Given that there is a probable benefit to intensive screening for breast cancer in your case due to your high genetic risk, and no more than a theoretical risk from gadolinium, I believe that the benefits outweigh the risks, but I can’t say that with complete certainty.

beside his bowl and howls -- making it impossible for me to work at my desk. What can I do to calm him down and help him lose weight?

-- Jim G., Quincy, Massachusetts

Dear Jim: It’s di cult to help overweight pets lose those extra pounds, and it’s clear that Seeker has no qualms about complaining about it!

Since you’re working from home, one way to mitigate the howling is to implement a divert-and-reward system to take his mind o his empty bowl. In essence, keep Seeker away from the kitchen and as busy as your schedule allows.

Immediately a er his breakfast, close o the kitchen. Use a baby gate or shut the door, and hide the food bowl out of sight. Take Seeker outside for a short walk to burn o extra energy and a few calories. If you’re in a high-rise apartment or another situation where going outside frequently is more di cult, opt for a ve-minute training and play session instead.

While you’re working, Seeker should be separated from the kitchen -- either in a closed-o room or with you in your o ce (but in his own corner) -- and given plenty of toys to chew on. Spend time with Seeker on each break from work. Play, work on basic obedience, or just hang out. Once you’re nished with work for the day, take Seeker out for a long walk before giving him dinner.

Stick with the diet prescribed by the vet. Be patient but consistent with Seeker to change his behavior. He can and will lose the weight, because you care about him!

KEEP ANIMALS OUT OF YOUR GARDEN

Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ first choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coverings make it more difficult to tend to gardens and rob gardens of some of their aesthetic appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades.

We look forward to meeting all your tree service needs. Please call us today at: 585-729-1488

WAYS TO REPURPOSE DRESSERS

One of the benefits to becoming a skilled do-it-yourselfer is the chance to embrace projects that can breathe new life into objects that others might designate for the trash or donation pile. Renovating such items can save money and provide an entirely different purpose for the object. After upgrading design styles or moving, there’s a good chance the average homeowner has a spare dresser or chest of drawers he or she may no longer use. Repurposing such furniture can make for an enjoyable weekend DIY project. With a change of color, removal of drawers or a few minor modifications, dressers can be transformed in many different ways. Before discarding an old dresser, think of all the ways it can be transformed into another useful piece of furniture.

When should I prune raspberries to ensure a good harvest this year? Did I miss that timing? What other plants should be tended to in spring to ensure successful production this season? Raspberries should be pruned in late winter or early spring (February - April). We recommend leaving 4 - 6 canes per square foot at this time. For the ease of picking, a raspberry patch will be between 1 - 3 feet wide; if the patch is wider, consider cutting back or pulling out canes that widen the patch too much. When pruning out canes, cut them at the base. First, remove canes that have bulges in them-- these are usually caused

by cane borers, and the internal damage causes the canes to collapse once they become heavy with fruit. Second, remove all canes that have pale, dried-out looking bark, as those have fruited and will not yield fruit again. Next, remove the thinnest canes. Ideally you will be left with 4-6 thick, sturdy canes. If those canes have little remnants of fruit on their tips, you may cut the tips back to encourage more branching.

Elderberry is another berry crop that can be pruned in the same time period. Cut out canes that are 3 years old and over. Inspect the bark on the remaining canes,

•

•

removing areas with cankers (sunken, discolored lesions) and canes that have holes in them. When cutting back diseased canes such as these, look into the cross-section of the pruning cut. If you observe browning or uneven tissue in the pruning cut, continue cutting back until it is uniform.

Berry plants that should be pruned before their leaves emerge include: blueberry, currant and gooseberry, seaberry, and pawpaw.

* On April 27, 2009, the American auto giant General Motors announced plans to discontinue its 80-year-old Pontiac brand. Initially known for making sedans, Pontiac gained acclaim in the 1960s for its fast, sporty “muscle cars,” including the GTO, Firebird and Trans Am.

* On April 28, 1967, boxing champion Muhammad Ali refuses to be inducted into the U.S. Army, citing religious reasons, and is stripped of his heavyweight title. Ali was convicted of draft evasion, but never served any of his five-year prison sentence.

* On April 30, 1948, the Land Rover, a British-made all-terrain vehicle, debuts at an auto show in Amsterdam. The first Land Rover was made from an old Americanmade Willys-Overland Jeep and had a boxy, utilitarian design, four-wheel drive and a canvas roof.

Firemen’s Auxiliary

A very special thank you to the Firemen’s Ladies Auxiliary. Saturday, they had a fundraiser at the firehouse. The chicken and biscuit dinner they served was absolutely delicious. Next year I think I will order two dinners for myself. Thank you to all who made this a special meal.

Kindness of strangers

To the very special father and daughter from Sand Hill Rd, who helped us unload our truck load of branches at the West Bloomfield drop off area, we are eternally grateful to you. Many sincere thanks, we couldn’t have done it without you. Your kindness is rare!!

Does anyone else notice the obscene and loud music in many stores? I hope store managers see this post. Most people over the age of 40 are the ones that actually go out to shop, the rest buy online and never set foot in a store. Sometimes I would like to stay and look around but the background noise/music forces me to make my purchase and get out ASAP. Maybe the cashiers have the freedom to play music they like. Maybe it gets piped in. We don’t want to hear loud, trashy, pounding and screaming when we enter a store; it’s not conducive to shopping. How about trying different music? Please.

Neighborhood trash

We live in the [local road] area of [local town]. We have complained for a long time about disgusting neighbors who shouldn’t be allowed to live in those conditions. [Code enforcement officer] nothing. The place recently burned and now it is even worse. Now there are rats and all kinds of creatures. What do we have to do to get it cleaned up? Maybe my next move will be to the state health department. I have had enough.

Price gouging

Ever do your math and realize how much we’re overcharged and gouged for products? A bottle of water costs X amount. Multiply that by the cost to buy a case. Drinks in restaurants and food prices, just to name a few. Unbelievable profits. Inflation is 5% over the past 3 years down from 8% when costs skyrocketed. Price of gas for delivery? Inflation? Inflation has gone down slightly. Why haven’t costs gone down? They were quick to go up. Why do we accept this?

MOMENTS IN TIME

On May 2, 1972, after nearly five decades as director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover dies. By 1969 the media, the public and Congress had grown suspicious that the FBI might be abusing its authority. Congress passed laws requiring Senate confirmation of future FBI directors and limiting their tenure to 10 years. (The History Channel)

A Brief Glimpse into the Mind and Inspiration that is North Chili Poet, Elizabeth Johnston

BY SUZIE WELLS

When did you start writing poetry?

I remember writing song lyrics as early as ve, belting out lines about trees and birds and summertime as I kicked my legs out toward the sky on the tire swing in my parents’ backyard.

What styles/forms of poetry do you write/prefer?

I love lyric poetry! at’s probably why Rattle Magazine is my favorite. e editor, Tim Green, curates such an amazing issue every time. I’m also a real sucker for a great pantoum.

What inspires you to write? Where do you ‘ nd’ inspiration?

I usually write poems inspired by some struggle I’m working through as a parent, a daughter, a partner, a friend. As so many writers have already said, I write to gure out what I think. And of course to make connections with others going through similar experiences. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how writing helps me to more fully inhabit my body. I think a lot of women in particular have a fraught relationship with their bodies. We are either taught by society to think of our bodies as something separate from ourselves, something to control/contain, or over time, we learn to divorce ourselves from our bodies as a defense mechanism against trauma. I think growing up female in this country, especially now, can be very traumatizing. I also grew up in an evangelical church, where we’re taught our bodies were sinful and temporary and ultimately not our own. I’m trying to write into my body these days, to be more mindful of the bodily experience and to claim ownership of it. I started meditating a few months ago to help me with that journey.

How would you describe your writing habits?

For a while, I was training for races, and so while I was doing these long runs, I’d use the time to write poetry in my head. I don’t do races anymore, so now I try to set aside an hour every morning to write. Sometimes I’m successful, other times not so much. I am part of a writer’s group (Straw Mat Writers) and we try to meet at least once a month to workshop and then twice a year we go away on a writers retreat together and spend three or four days writing and workshopping. at’s usually where most of my writing happens –when I’m not at home distracted by my kids or animals or laundry –and my “job” in those moments is just to write and think about writing.

What are your favorite topics or themes to write about?

I am especially drawn to poems about parenting (I’m a mother of two daughters, 17 and 20). I’m also drawn to poems about gender mythology, poems that revise fairy tales, folklore, and myths from a feminist perspective. Also poems about popular culture (I’ve written poems about Barbie and e Wizard of Oz) and current events.

What writing groups do you connect with?

I’m co-founder of Straw Mat Writers and a member of Just Poets. I love online writing classes o ered by various outlets such as Catapult. Every year, my writing group and I attend the Association for Writers

and Writing Programs. And I teach at MCC, where I coordinate the Creative Writing program; I absolutely adore working with our students in that program.

What advice would you give a budding writer?

Just write. Make it happen. Find the time and do the work. And value it as work, just as important as any other job in your life. If writing is what feeds you, then don’t starve yourself, even if you don’t like what’s on the plate right now. Try new things. And when you enter the publishing world, don’t give up. Just because an editor doesn’t take your poem doesn’t mean it’s not a good poem or that you’re not a good writer. Finally, write for yourself. Because, ultimately, that’s why you started writing. Because you can’t not write. It’s who you are. So honor that.

On May 16th, check out Elizabeth’s reading on Cinderella and other fairy tale poems with Rachel DeGuzman at Geva’s post-performance Insights chat. Elizabeth will be the featured reader at e Little eater on Sept. 24th.

An Old Dog Teaches My Dog to Swim

For Neptune and Nina, friends rst published in cahoodaloodaling.com

At the pond the old lab dives in, chasing his splashes, while my pup bounds like a colt, creeps close to water’s edge, jumps back, whines, wavers between solid ground and the instinct that will prevail: to join her friend in play, root shes from the mud, release sleek body, webbed toes, rudder-like tail. I suppose this is how love of anything goes: eventually we give up the shore. Why lament the inevitable, grieve the grey in an old dog’s coat, the hip that gives out, clouds gathering in his eyes? In the end, we are as reckless with love as animals, pretending, perhaps, to see only what they do: pond, a er pond, a er wonderful pond.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Make children’s pills easier to swallow by crushing them and putting them in a bit of jelly or applesauce. Make sure, especially if it’s a prescription medicine, that it can be crushed. -- U.L. in Minnesota

* To keep kids from running into a closed sliding-glass door, cut out a small picture of something that’s brightly colored, “laminate” it by taping it across both sides, then tape it to the door at children’s eye level. -- E.R. in New York

* Painting season is in full swing at my house, and here are my two favorite painting tips: One is to lightly soap the windows (glass only) and let it dry. Any paint splatters will land on the soap, which can be easily wiped away when the paint is all dry. The other is to give locks, hinges and doorknobs a light coat of petroleum jelly. It works the same way, and when polished away, it leaves a nice shine to hardware.

* Here’s a great spring facial: Split an avocado, mash half of it and use it as a mask. Let sit for up to five minutes, then rinse away with warm water.

* Cleaning windows? Use a nylon net scrubbie from the kitchen to get rid of bugs from screens. It also works really well to scrub bugs off the car grille or car window.

* Here’s a great tip you can use when parallel parking in front of a storefront. Check the reflection to see if it looks like there’s room when backing in or pulling forward. -- O.W. in California

HOW TO STAY MENTALLY SHARP AFTER RETIREMENT

Consider delaying retirement. Even if early retirement is a dream, it might be better to work a little longer than you had planned. A 2021 study published in the journal SSM - Population Health found that postponed retirement is beneficial to cognitive function for all genders,races/ ethnicities, educational levels, and professional status. The study reported that individuals who waited until age 67 to retire experienced less cognitive decline than those who retired prior to turning 67.
