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.

Eating Out on Mother’s Day

Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary.

Mother — that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.

MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION IDEAS

The Nature Lover

Fishing and other outdoor activities might have a reputation as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that’s not really the case. A 2016 report from the Outdoor Foundation found that 46 percent of people who participated in outdoor activities were women. If Mom is a nature enthusiast, families can plan a Mother’s Day enjoying the great outdoors, even giving Mom a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town comeMother’sDay.Notonlydoes this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Apple Cider Vinegar Is a Surprising Help for Blood in Urine

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I had anal cancer and was treated with chemo and radiation. The radiation burned my insides and severely damaged most of my internal organs. One of the aftereffects was occasional blood and small clots in my urine. A few months ago, both the frequency and amount of blood, especially the clots, increased dramatically. The size and number of the clots got so large that they blocked my urethra. During a visit to my urologist, he looked into my bladder and declared it “angry.” Then he told me the same thing every doctor has told me about every problem caused by my treatment: “It was caused by the radiation, and there is nothing that can be done.”

Shortly after this, I began to take unfiltered apple cider vinegar in hopes that it would improve my digestive problems. It helped a little, but the big difference was that I have not had a single recurrence of either blood or clots in my urine. Can you tell me if this is due to the vinegar or if it is just a coincidence? -- A.G.

ANSWER: No, I can’t definitively tell you whether the vinegar helped. It was probably by chance, but let me explain a little about it.

Rectal cancer is often treated with radiation, or combined chemotherapy and radiation, either prior to or after surgery. The dose of radiation is quite high compared to some other cancers, and the complications can be significant.

In addition to damage to the bowel and bladder, radiation treatment can damage the bones and bone marrow, leading to poor blood-cell production, infertility, premature menopause, and more cancer years later. On the other hand, radiation is used when it is expected to improve the cure rate of cancer. Still, the side effects can be challenging.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding from the bladder) can be caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It may start within a few months or as long as 20 years after radiation.

I am surprised your urologist did not offer any treatments, as there are certainly ones available. Although none of the currently available systemic drugs are proven to be very effective, hyperbaric oxygen is one treatment that is, at least, moderately effective. Medicines placed into the bladder and laser bladder treatments are sometimes tried as well.

I was unable to find any study that evaluated the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar. I am skeptical, but reports like yours of apparent improvement associated with its use might convince a researcher to conduct a study to determine whether it really is effective.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS

is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

KEEPING A HEALTHY MOUTH WITH DIABETES

Diabetes patients are at higher risk for both gingivitis (gum disease) and periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Our mouths are full of bacteria, and diabetics have a higher inflammatory response to bacteria, which causes loss of supporting tissue for teeth. This can invite bacteriacausing plaque underneath and around the gums, causing receding gums and loose teeth that may need to be removed. Dry mouth is also more common in diabetics because higher glucose levels in the gums reduce saliva, which helps wash away bacteria and food debris. These complications can be successfully managed by practicing good daily oral care (brush twice, floss once). Your dentist may recommend cleanings every three months to keep a closer eye on your oral health.

Because your total health is always

our concern, all new patient exams are in-depth and comprehensive. This is an important part of establishing a baseline against which we can measure your future oral profile and progress. And regular professional checkups make it possible to watch for developing concerns and address them while they are still small, before they can turn into something more serious. For an appointment for advanced, gentle dental care, please call BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL at 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre

How do I prepare my soil for planting?

Properly preparing your soil before planting is essential for creating a thriving garden bed. To embark on this journey, begin by meticulously removing any pesky weeds or grass that may have taken root in the area. This will help ensure that your plants have ample space to flourish without any unnecessary competition for nutrients and resources. Once you have cleared the canvas, it’s time to indulge in the art of soil cultivation. Gently till or dig the soil to loosen its texture, allowing for improved aeration and drainage. As you delve into this task, consider adding a touch of magic in the form of organic matter. Compost, a delightful concoction of decayed organic materials, can work wonders for your soil structure and serve

as a nutrient-rich feast for your soon-tobe-planted garden gems. Generously incorporatethispreciousresourceintothe soil, allowing it to weave its enchantment and transform the landscape. Finally, as you put the finishing touches on your soil masterpiece, gently smooth the surface and offer it a refreshing drink of water, quenching its thirst and creating an inviting environment for your seeds or seedlings.

How often should I water my garden?

The rhythm of watering your garden is a delicatedance,influencedbyasymphony of factors that harmonize to create the perfect balance. Consider the unique needs of your plants, the composition of your soil, the whims of weather, and the

stage of growth your green companions find themselves in. As you traverse this journey,keep in mind that moderation is key. While providing ample hydration is crucial, drowning your garden in excess water can lead to soggy roots and a lack of oxygen, stifling the potential for growth. Instead, aim for a gentle and nourishing approach. Seek to deliver approximately 1 inch of water per week, a golden rule that provides ample moisture without overwhelming the delicate ecosystem beneath the surface.

Look for this weekly column! Your questions answered by the local Cornell experts.

However, remember that this is merely a guiding principle,and it’s vital to listen to the whispers of your garden. Observe the moisture level of the soil, and let it guide your hand as you adjust your watering routine. Remember, deep and infrequent watering encourages the development of robust root systems, anchoring your plants firmly in the ground and preparing them for a flourishing future.

UNIQUE MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS

Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift givers can cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant.

PAW’S CORNER

Home Renovations and Pets Just

Don’t Mix

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a contractor coming soon to renovate our kitchen. I plan to keep my cat, “Freya,” out of the way and in a separate room during the day. But at night, she’ll want to wander the house. How do I keep her out of the kitchen? -- Jim in Portland, Maine

DEAR JIM: Cats are pretty wily, and I’m sure Freya will try to find a way around any barriers you set up to keep her out of the kitchen.

e best way to dissuade her from exploring the construction area, therefore, is to tempt her away with better distractions. at means moving her food and water to a new location far from the construction area (but out of heavy foot traffic) and giving her treats and attention whenever she opts to stay in the living room with you or near her bedding and food.

At night, tighten the barriers around the kitchen -- if there’s a door, close it. If there is plastic sheeting up, tack it to surrounding walls and tape it to the floor. Put a sheet of plywood across the entrance if necessary.

Inside the work area, make sure that the contractors put away all sharp tools and cover any containers tightly. ey should clean up any debris at the end of each day and use a wet-dry vacuum to pick up sawdust and dirt. Any spills need to be cleaned completely. is will reduce the risk to Freya if she manages to get into the kitchen, and it’s just good practice.

Readers, how did you keep your pets safe during home renovations? Tell me at ask@pawscorner.com.

Here’s a Tip

* Need to save money grocery shopping? Studies show that if you shop when the store is least busy, you’ll make smarter decisions. Try shopping at off-peak hours, such as later in the evening or early in the morning. Or try your store on Wednesday, traditionally the least busy day of the week.

* “I was making cookies last week and needed to roll out the dough. I couldn’t find my rolling pin anywhere. In a pinch, I pulled a bottle of wine off my wine rack and wrapped it tightly in plastic. It did the trick. I’m thinking I might just save the next empty bottle and clean the label off of it to use. I can store it right there in my rack!” -- O.V. in Oregon

* Add shredded veggies to tomato sauce to up the veggie quotient. Many vegetables can be added without adding many calories and will not change the taste that much. Try carrots, squash or sweet potatoes. You can even add a tablespoon or two of canned, pureed pumpkin.

Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother’s Day focused on Mom’s love of books an ideal and unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom their own books, and Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores and look for original copies of Mom’s favorite books that she might not find elsewhere.

Sarah Cedeño: Crafting Stories, Illuminating Lives

BY SUZIE WELLS

Sarah Cedeño, a widely published prose writer and SUNY Brockport adjunct teacher explores the essence of human existence, elevating the mundane and celebrating the perfectly imperfect in the world.

Cedeño remembers grade school journal writing assignments where she first dipped her pen in the ink of creativity. She says some details from her childhood writings still find their way into her work today. From those early writings spawned a career in creative writing. With a BA and MA in Creative Writing from SUNY Brockport, and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Goddard College, she now teaches at her alma mater and lends her expertise at Writers & Books in Rochester as well as a variety of other forums. She edits fiction for several literary magazines and has assisted Brockport’s English department in initiatives throughout the years.

While Cedeño primarily identifies as a prose writer, when she occasionally ventures into the realm of poetry, free verse serves as her canvas for expression. She says she doesn’t usually pay attention to form until she shapes/edits the poem. For nonfiction, Cedeno likes to play with borrowed forms such as Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paolo call hermit crab essays because they use the existing form (as if a shell) of another type of writing (such as a dictionary entry for grief that explores the loss of a parent or a how-to manual for dismantling a home that explores divorce).

Cedeño calls her writing process “candid and haphazard,” fueled by a penchant for hoarding images, ideas, and snippets of everyday life. She finds her muse among the mundane, seeing the world as full of “little metaphors” waiting to be unraveled. She explains, “ ere’s a running commentary in a lot of writers’ heads that lends itself to creative practice and helps you stay present.” She tries not to overthink as she writes but finds the editing/revision phase to be fun, weeding out “unhelpful parts” of a piece. She also says that “abandoning the notion of ‘perfection’” helps her process tremendously.

To Cedeño, writing “[makes her] a better human and viceversa. As a writer, you have to pay attention to the stories behind the trauma. What leads people/animals to do the things they do? What understanding can we offer or gain from the world around us?”

Cedeño tends to “circle around things I love and things that inspire me, collecting them in my everyday – local history, the campus, animals, and nature – and that usually coalesces into something.” She o en likes to reflect on women’s experiences, describing her MFA project that was a collection of short

stories about women’s lives in the 20th century inspired by local news stories. Cedeño uses her expertise to voice those stories.

Cedeño says, “Writing friends are essential for inspiration, conversation, and feedback” and credits SarahFreligh’sBootcamps for producing most of the writing in Cedeño’s first collection, Not Something We Discuss O en, essays on illness and womanhood. erecipientofmultipleadjunctinstructorawards,Cedeño is dedicated to sharing her insights and constructive criticism with the next generation. However, she says she likes summers’ break from the grading of student writing, “constantly viewing a piece of writing as an object to be modified or improved. e constant analysis can be exhausting and take away from the fun and inspiration of both reading and writing.”

To aspiring writers, Cedeño says, “First: Read. Also: If you never stop writing and never stop sending work out, you will never be able to say that you failed. And acceptances will come. You have to believe that (if your goal is to publish).”

For Cedeño, writing is not just a vocation but a way of life – a means of understanding the world and our place within it. rough her stories, she invites readers to explore the nuances of human emotion, to contemplate the stories behind trauma, and to embrace the imperfections that make us beautifully human.

To learn more about Sarah Cedeño and her upcoming projects, visit her website at www.sarahmcedeno.com. Her next book, a collection of short fiction, e Grand Scheme of ings, will be released in September 2025 from Harbor Editions.

Puzzle Answers This Week

VENT BRIGHTER

Traffic circle in [local town]

The traffic circle is annoying. What’s even more frustrating is that people don’t use blinkers when they’re exiting. It causes traffic to back up unnecessarily & makes delays for people to enter the circle. It’s annoying and rude. When you learned to drive, didn’t you learn to use your blinkers?

A good deed

Garbage filled park

I want to thank the kind and honest person who found my credit card at the Webster Post Office a few weeks ago and returned it to staff. It just proves that there are good, honest people who do the right thing. I appreciate it very much and thank you.

My husband and I noticed piles of garbage at our local Town Park. We both decided to pick it up, since there is a constant flow of people. We filled 2 garbage bags with shoes, soup containers, broken glass, clothes, coffee cups and doggy poo bags! Nasty!

Delicious Pizza!

Last Friday, I thought I ordered a pizza from a local pizza shop, but the order never made it through. I contacted the restaurant and the person who picked up the phone said that he would give me a free pizza, size large, including a brownie! If more people could be this kind I think that the community would be so much better! Thank you again!

When we brought this to the attention at the Town office across the street, the lady in charge of the parks department said that “The Park is closed but when it’s open they pick up.” When asked if we could throw the trash in their dumpster, she rolled her eyes and called someone else, while laughing at my husband. Pick up after yourselves so that others do not have to- clearly the Town could care less about the safety of others!

Avoid “final sale” items. It can be tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at Mom’s favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the “final sale” racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.

The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they needtogetby,theymightthinkit’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.
