11/2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 cup gluten-free flour
1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 vegan crunchy chocolate cookies, crushed
1 12-ounce jar Dollop Gourmet Madagascar Vanilla vegan frosting
Milk
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Pour the vinegar into a 1/2 cup measure. Add enough milk to come to the brim. Let sit until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until smooth. Add the almond milk mixture and continue mixing for 1 minute more. Add half of the crushed cookies and mix until just combined.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation treatment are generally urged to avoid vaccinations other than the flu shot, though that conventional wisdom may not be applicable in relation to the COVID-19 virus. The ACS notes that vaccines require an immune system response to work effectively, and cancer patients’ immune systems may not be able to produce an adequate response to vaccines during treatment. That can make vaccines, including those for COVID-19, less effective. However, while traditionally cancer patients have been urged to avoid vaccinations during treatment, theACSnotesthatcancerpatients,due to fragile immune systems resulting from both their disease and the treatments for it, are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease. As a result, doctors may still advise their patients to receivetheCOVID-19vaccinationeven during treatment, as having some measure of protection against the virus may still be better than having none at all. No two cancer patients are the same, so those concerned about COVID-19 and the vaccinations against it are urged to discuss those concerns and their options with their cancer care team.

Add health screenings to back-to-school checklist
An essential requirement parents must find time for is completing their children’s health screenings and immunizations so youngsters canreturntoschool.
Health screenings may include, but may not be limited to, routine physical exams, eye exams and dental cleanings. Each school district may have its own set of health requirements that must be met in order for children to attend school.
Many schools require that children are up-to-date with all immunizations before they can beginanewschoolyear.Whilethe issue of vaccinations has inspired debate in recent years, parents shouldrecognizethatmanyschools will only exempt students from receiving certain vaccinations due toreligiousreasons.
Students who have specific learning disabilities or medical conditions that require classroom modification should obtain recent documentationfromanytherapists or specialists prior to beginning a new school year. Doing so facilitates the process of setting up procedures within the school while ensuring children have what they need to excel in the classroom. All parents may want toaskdoctorstoprovidecopiesof medical and immunization records so that schools will have the most recentcopiesonfile.
Parents should schedule eye examinations well in advance of the first day of school so they have ample time to fill new prescriptions for youngsters before school begins. This ensures kids won’t be starting off on the wrong foot because of visionproblemsthatcouldalready havebeenaddressed.

NOW’S THE TIME TO TEACH AT-HOME NUTRITION
With a lot of parents facing the challenge of keeping housebound kids happy and healthy, this is the perfect time to teach kids the basics of nutrition and eating right. (Family Features)
HEALTHY SNACK TIME TASTE TESTS: Sometimes it feels like kids can snack all day long on easy-to-grab crackers, chips or cookies. Next time they reach into the snack pantry, try incorporating a taste test or food critic activity to encourage something different and more nutritious.
PURPOSEFUL PLAYTIME: Many households have a play kitchen or some kind of play food. Use this as an opportunity to act out how to create a healthy kitchen with activities like making salad, setting the table, peeling bananas and washing dishes. This can help young children become more independent, learn what to expect and grow into little helpers at family mealtime.
SENSORY ACTIVITY: One idea that can work for school and at home is making a sensory box. Simply place a fruit or two inside a tissue box and have children put their hands inside then try to guess which fruit it is by feeling it.

HOST A SPORTS VIEWING PARTY TO REMEMBER
Hundreds of millions of people across the globe enjoy sports, and many are fond of gathering with fellow fans to watch their favorite teams play, whether in-person or on television. Viewing parties are a great way to watch the big game with fellow fans, and such gatherings don’t have to require all that much effort on the part of hosts.
Make it a potluck affair. Potluck affairs make perfect sense for sports viewing parties, so don’t be surprised if guests offer to whip up some homemade guacamole or a buffet-style dish for the big party. Encourage this, asking guests to share what they’re bringing with other invitees so there are no duplicate offerings.

FAST FACTS ABOUT THE SUN
UVA rays penetrate more deeply into the skin and can cause it to prematurely age.
Vary the food and beverage menu. Chicken wings and beer might seem like go-to foods and beverages for the big game, but even sports bars are increasingly recognizing sports fans’ desire for healthy foods. It’s still acceptable to serve staples like wings, nachos, chips, and pretzels, but try to provide some healthy fare like celery and salad as well. Even wholegrain pretzels might be more enticing to guests watching what they eat. In addition, provide alternatives to alcohol, such as water, soda and juice, for guests who are abstaining.
Upgrade your television. Projection screens are go-to options for many avid sports fans, But projectors and screens may stretch some sports fans’ budgets. A 4K ultra-HD television can be an affordable option depending on the size of the television, and such devices provide incredibly crisp pictures that can make sports fans feel as though they’re inside the stadium cheering on their favorite players.
Purchase a sound system. Today’s televisions are sleek and thin. While that saves space and provides more aesthetic appeal than the bulky televisions of yesteryear, thin designs leave little room for sound tech. As a result, it can be hard to hear what’s going on in the game without a sound system. Sound systems are relatively inexpensive; just make sure to purchase one that is compatible with your television.
Sports viewing parties tend to be easygoing affairs that don’t require the level of planning of more formal gatherings.

Great Job!
A big thanks to our the Village of Geneseo workers who pick up our lawn bags and tree branches so regularly. They are always neat and careful to get all of the trimmings that we leave by the curb. We appreciate your service.
Best Win Ever!
This past weekend I was at Batavia Downs Gaming, hoping to win some money, yet gained much more in the end! I absent mindedly set my wallet on the stool next to me and eventually Ieft the casino, only to realize I did not have my wallet. A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the great samaritan that turned my wallet in to lost and found, and to Batavia Downs staff, Mary, Maya, and Maggie! When I realized I left it, I called and left a message, Mary tried to call me back three times. When we finally connected, Mary and Maya kindly told me it was locked in the safe. The next morning I went to pick it up, and Mary directed me to Lost & Found where I met Maggie, who pleasantly helped me retrieve my wallet, with some great conversation too! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, my mishap truly turned out to be a blessing in disguise & the best win everTO ENCOUNTER GENUINE KINDNESS & MORALITY!
Strolling Downtown
Due to COVID, restaurants understandably added outside sidewalk seating. Our village downtown restaurants have done so, and we have enjoyed their service. Unfortunately, some of the tables are too large and have seating that spills out almost to the curb. Pedestrians should not be forced to step down into the street and around parked cars to get past those seated at tables. This is especially difficult for parents pushing strollers, wheelchair users and senior citizens. Restaurant managers, please use smaller tables or push them up against the building, limiting the number of chairs at the tables. This would provide a wider path for pedestrian use.
Keep it in your car
People! Stop throwing trash out of your car! The amount of garbage in the roads, on the side of highways, and in the grass is pure disrespect and laziness. If you’re picking up fast food, the paper bag and your wrappers do not belong in the road. Your plastic cup that had your soda in it from the convenient store does not belong in the road. Have some respect for the environment. The animals do not deserve to have their habitats polluted because you don’t want the trash in your car. YOUR GARBAGE=YOUR PROBLEM. We should be able to drive around and see the beauty in Rochester, not all the garbage that needs to get picked up. Show some respect. It’s not other people’s job to clean up after your mess. Wait until you get home to throw it out properly. In YOUR own trash can.

PITCH IN AND SAVE MONEY
Home improvement projects can be expensive. While the size and complexity of a project will affect how expensive the project is, homeowners can expect to shell out a pretty penny when they renovate or remodel areas of their home.
According to HomeAdvisor, an online resource for homeowners looking to connect with home improvement, maintenance and repair professionals, the average bathroom remodeling project costs $9,348, while the average home addition costs slightly less than $41,000. But renovation-minded homeowners need not reconsider their commitment to remodeling, as there are various ways to cut the costs associated with home improvement projects.
One such way is for homeowners to pitch in and do some of the work themselves. Calculating labor costs can be difficult, as such costs can vary greatly depending on the project, the contractor and the amount of hired help that contractor intends to employ. However, some estimates suggest labor will account for anywhere from 25 to 50 percent of the overall cost of the project. So it’s no surprise that homeowners can save themselves substantial amounts of money by doing some of the work themselves.
Homeowners who intend to do some of the labor themselves should discuss this plan with contractors during the vetting process. Before hiring a contractor, make sure homeowners’ expected labor contributions are clearly defined in the contract. It’s best to leave the most complicated parts of a project to the professionals.

SMELLY FIREPLACE?
After a long season of use, fireplaces need to be cleaned. Many homeowners think this is a job that can be put off until the fall, but spring is an ideal season to have the chimney and flue cleaned and inspected. One reason to include scrubbing the chimney as part of spring cleaning is to cut down on odor. After using a fireplace, a buildup of creosote forms in the chimney. As the weather gets warmer, creosote deposits can start to smell sour and that odor will seep into the home. In addition, moisture can mix with the creosote and start to degrade the flue liner, necessitating costly repairs. The sooner a chimney and flue are cleaned the better. A chimney sweep can do a thorough job of scrubbing down the chimney and fireplace and ensuring that everything will be in working order come next season.

* You may not think to do this o en, but you should: Clean your laptop! Not just the screen or keys, but the exterior as well. Get a micro ber cloth, spritz the cloth (never the machine itself) with a bit of isopropyl alcohol and rub away dirt and grime.

DID YOU KNOW?
Wedding insurance can provide couples who are about to tie the knot with some peace of mind on their big days. Many wedding venues require couples carry liability coverage in the case of accidents, injuries or incidents. But wedding insurance policies may even surprise couples with regard to what they cover. Each policy is different, and couples may be able to customize wedding insurance policies to cover a host of items. Many policies cover couples in the wake of cancellations or postponements due to weather, damage to the facility or even a change of heart on the part of the couple holding the policy. But some policies may provide coverage for couples should their photographers and/or caterers fail to appear. Policies may also cover lost, stolen or damaged items, including equipment rentals, bridal growns, jewelry, and/or gifts. Couples should speak with their wedding venue representative to determine if the venue offers extended coverage and ultimately compare those offerings to policy estimates they receive on their own.

Feral Cat Colony Getting Out of Hand
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a number of feral cats living in the wooded area behind our house. I know that these cats normally can’t be acclimated to indoor living, but watching their colony expand isn’t desirable, either. So I’d like to get them to a vet and have them spayed or neutered, and either rehome them somehow or release them again. Any tips on doing this?
— Sharon in Atlanta
DEAR SHARON: The most common and probably most effective way to catch feral cats is to trap them one at a time using a live trap. They are available at hardware and home-improvement stores,at some pet stores or online.
Before starting, find out if there is a feral cat rescue organization in your area. In Atlanta,the nonprofit LifeLineAnimal Project may be able to loan you traps,as well as provide sterilization services. Otherwise, contact the veterinarian you plan to work with and make sure he or she is OK with treating, spaying and neutering the cats,and find out the prices in advance.
Dependingonlawsinyourareaandonwhoownsthewoodsbehindyourproperty, you may only be able to set the traps on your property. If the feral cats don’t visit regularly, you’ll first need to lure them using food they’re attracted to. When they come around looking for this food,set up the live trap.
Trap,neuter and release (TNR) programs typically release the treated cats back into their home territory, as relocation often doesn’t work. Expect the cats you trap to continue their lives in the woods — with the realization that the colony likely won’t grow over time.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS
Some retired racing greyhounds may exhibit behaviors typical of puppies. The Greyhound Project notes that, thanks to their early training, retired racing greyhounds have never been without the company of other greyhounds. As a result, when spending time alone for the first time in their lives, retired greyhounds may make up for lost time as a puppy by exhibiting puppy-like behaviors such as chewing. This need not cause alarm in new greyhound parents, as the dogs typically outgrow the behavior very quickly.

TECH TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP
Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses. While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for the ride. Drivers about to embark on a road trip, whether it’s their first such venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?
HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS
BROKEN DENTAL CROWNS
Acrownisusedtocoverandsurround a tooth when damage or decay are too advanced for a simple filling. Crowns restore a tooth’s natural appearance and function. They can hold a cracked tooth together, attach a bridge, or prevent a weak tooth from fracturing. While a crown may last a lifetime, a majority last five to fifteen years. Crowns can become chipped or broken. Accidents such as falls, facial trauma, or biting down on something hard can all damage a crown, as can grinding or clenching teeth. Sometimes broken crowns require emergency repair, while others can wait a few days. A broken crown may need to be reshaped and smoothed, but sometimes a new crown is necessary.
Maintaining a consistent schedule of regular dental checkups will give your dentist the opportunity of keeping an eye on the state of your teeth and any possible areas of developing dental problems such as a damaged crown. When was your last dental visit? Now would be a good time to schedule your next exam. If you don’t have a family dentist,we are accepting new patients at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. Located at 6 Batavia City Centre, we welcome your call at 585.343.4246. We accept most insurances.
P.S. When a dental crown breaks, you may feel pain or sensitivity to hot or cold foods and beverages if the tooth’s pulp is exposed.

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 rst few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.
• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the brous 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 o er 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).

Most Common Cause Behind Teary Eyes Are Dry Eyes
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 74-year-old woman who loves to read the newspaper every morning. I have a problem that’s not serious, just annoying. My eyes tear up frequently while I read, causing me to wipe them. After I’m done reading, the problem stops. I see my ophthalmologist every year and have my vision glasses updated as needed. I am not yet a candidate for cataract surgery. Could you enlighten me about a probable cause for this irritating problem? -- A.H.G.
ANSWER: By all means, ask your ophthalmologist at your next visit, but the most common cause I see for watery, tearing eyes are ... dry eyes! This apparent paradox is caused by the fact that your eyes have three different fluids.
One of them, called meibum, is a long-lasting, oily material secreted by the meibomian glands, found around the edges of the eyelids near the eyelashes. This covers the eye and prevents fluid from evaporating quickly. Without this fluid, the lacrimal gland (near the temple above each eye) then has to make a lot of its watery secretions, which cause symptoms of tearing. Most commonly, the meibomian glands get clogged up by secretions becoming dry. Gently cleansing the eyelash area with warm water and baby shampoo helps many people unclog these glands. Artificial tears lubricate the eye and will reduce the symptoms of watery eyes (and maybe some eye irritation, too, which you might not have mentioned). ***
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

PAW’S CORNER
Dog’s Food Guarding Aggression Is Getting Worse
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted an energetic, bouncy little Terrier mix a few months ago from a friend who had found him abandoned and wandering near his farm. Eddie is around 1 year old, and according to the vet he was likely abused or in a puppy mill situation. He’s now caught up on his shots, neutered, has put on weight and is pretty happy. However, he is an absolute terror if anyone, including me, approaches him while he’s eating. He snarls and snaps. And he’s gotten worse. He even nipped my hand once, and ran o in fear when I yelled. How can I stop this behavior? -- Jack H. in Newton, Massachusetts
DEAR JACK: Resource guarding is certainly an undesirable behavior, and it is sadly a common one in dogs coming from stressful, overpopulated or abusive situations. Because Eddie is really aggressive, even toward you, consider contacting a professional trainer and working with the vet to develop a long-term solution. Training along with a prescribed anti-anxiety medicine can work wonders, but it will take time.
In the short term, you’ll need to make sure Eddie won’t bite you or anyone else. Feed him in a location away from foot tra c and other pets. If you use a kennel cage, you can feed him in the cage. Feed him at consistent times each day. Don’t let anyone else attempt to feed him, even with treats.
e ASPCA has a helpful article with training exercises to start helping Eddie relax when you’re near him during feeding time. Find it here: www.aspca.org/ pet-care/dog-care/common-dog-behavior-issues/food-guarding
However, they also recommend working with a trainer. Resolving a resource guarding behavior can be tricky, but the long-term bene t is a happy, healthy companion.

Discovering Your Local Library: A Community Oasis of Learning and Connection
BY SUZIE WELLS
Paws to Read therapy Dogs
As summer winds down (unfortunately quickly and school bells loom), I wanted to explore some of the local treasures we may overlook. Just because the school year approaches and children return to the classrooms and routines, fun and learning do not need to end. I may be rather partial (I grew up volunteering at Canandaigua’s Wood Library, frequented college and community libraries through my college and adult life, and made library visits a priority with my own kiddos), but libraries are an essential part of the community, so I inquired with a few local librarians for insights.
Cathy Henderson, Director of Greece Public Library, and Valerie Watson, Head of Programming and Youth Services at Chili Public Library, shared some insights with me. ey rave that the library has become a space where families, kids, teens, and adults come together to explore the world of books, partake in exciting events, and enrich their lives.
Watson says her favorite part of the library is “how multi-faceted it is – there really is something for everyone here … e library has grown and expanded from the old hushed, somber aisles of books and has become a place for the community to gather for a variety of purposes.”
O ering a wide array of materials for patrons to borrow, including books, movies, CDs, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks, video games, even electronic devices, STEAM to go kits, even shing poles, libraries o er communities a wealth of materials and opportunities that sometimes go underutilized.
Henderson said their variety of yoga programs are popular year-round. Dinosaur Train was another favorite this past summer, in which kids cra ed train cars, explored a dinosaur safari, and befriended the ancient creatures. Paws to Read continues to be a hot initiative, bringing therapy dogs into the library, allowing struggling (and all) readers to read to attentive, non-judgmental canine companions.
Watson raves about their popular Truck Show and Tie Dye events this summer, and excitedly shares that they’ve added a few new youth programs this fall: Pokémon Club for children, Graphic Novel Book Club for tweens, and a Special Interest Social Club for teens, As seasons shi , the library remains a vibrant hub of learning and connection. Its appeal goes beyond books, with diverse programs for all ages. Early literacy e orts provide a strong foundation for young minds. Families bond at story times and imaginative play in the Story Garden.
Even in this largely digital age, the public libraries stand as sanctuaries for meaningful connections, growth, and shared experiences. It’s where stories come alive, friendships form, and exploration thrives. Whether a library enthusiast or newcomer, step into your local library for a journey that transcends generations, o ering discovery, growth, and endless possibilities.
Watson says, “ e best thing about the library is how free it is! ere’s no cost for our programs; it’s free to get a library card; we’ve even removed nes for child and teen items! Come visit us, we would be happy to show you around!”
Love to write? You could earn CASH when you share your original story, personal experience, community happening or school event with us! It may be featured on our popular website for all to see and even selected for print!

Q&A
Why are you supposed to take off the “suckers” on tomato plants if they still produce fruit?
You do not need to take the suckers off but if you do not, you will end up with a lot of branches and probably a lot of small tomatoes if you are lucky.. The added branches will shade other parts of the plant and encourage mold and bacteria to grow since rainwater would not evaporate off the leaves as quickly compared to one that you prune. The extra branches also take up energy that could be used in producing larger fruit. So, depending on what you want from
your tomatoes, pruning off branches might be something you will want to do.
You could try an experiment in your garden to see for yourself what happens with and without pruning. Just a side, at the beginning, if you root some of the suckers, you could get a few more plants that will produce tomatoes for you before frost kills them.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Allow employees to telecommute. Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005-2014 American Community Survey conducted by GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics.com, a typical business would save $11,000 per person per year if it allowed its employees to work from home just half the time. Those cost-savings can be traced to numerous factors, and lower utility costs in the office as well as the need for less office space are among them.
