VENT BRIGHTER
As relayed to me:
Smoking areas in parking lots and shopping plazas
On the very busy morning of Sunday, February 18th, at Wegmans Geneseo, an older gentleman’s cashier had rung up his large number of items, and he then discovered that he had forgotten his wallet. As he and the cashier tried to decide what to do, the woman behind him in line handed the cashier her credit card and very, very, generously rescued him. He protested, saying that he lived close by & could easily run home to get his wallet. She refused and just said “Pay it forward.” I’d just like to tell that woman that I have known that man for decades, and he has always been helping others with all kinds of issues, but he was truly surprised, and very grateful, to be on the receiving end that day. I know that he will definitely Pay it Forward.
Everyone smokes in [local] plaza. I walk to the grocery store there almost every day, and there is usually someone standing or sitting someplace smoking. Most employees from [the grocery store] smoke on their breaks and couldn’t care less about the non-smokers like myself who don’t want to smell the smoke. I have to go in the street and almost get run over. Legislation should say “No smoking, vaping, or using tobacco products in all shopping plazas, parking lots, etc.” They are too lax with this issue. The American Cancer Society got involved with [a company] and now they don’t sell cigarettes. However, other stores still sell them, which says it’s okay to smoke. [Another company] has signs in the windows saying “No Smoking,” but inside they sell cigarettes. More should be done.
German War prisoners
The Hometown Story in your January 19th issue reminded me of the experiences we had with German war prisoners. In the early 1940s, my parents contracted with the Heinz Co. to raise tomatoes. My mother, Anna, a German immigrant, and our neighbor’s 20-yr-old daughter drove the truck full of ripe tomatoes to the Hilton facility. My mother did not disclose that she was German when they arrived. As they unloaded the truck, the prisoners commented in German on the attractiveness of the young woman and speculated what she might look like without any clothes. In German, Anna said she would look like any of the girls they had at home. The prisoners were surprised and also happy to hear German. Much discussion followed about where they and she were from in Germany. They were glad the war was over for them and they were in the US rather than Russia. They felt they were treated and cared for quite well but missed family and friends back home.
Well Meaning Efforts with Poor Results
Many local residents are involved in helping feral cat colonies. For those unfamiliar, these people trap feral cats, have them spayed or neutered, and release them back to their colony. Some people provide the colonies with cat food. Their efforts come from their kind and loving hearts. I’ve owned pet cats for 29 years, and I’m ready to take off the rose-colored glasses and admit the feral cat colony concept is not working. Friends directly involved in colony support tell me there are always more cats coming in and restarting the flow of kittens. The constant drain on [humane society]’s resources (and others who offer spaying) is not the best use of funds. Cats are not part of our native ecosystem and the effect on our native bird populations is devastating. Walk outside anywhere and you’ll notice the vast decline in the number of birds. There are many factors against birds, but this is one we can control. This failed experiment needs to be replaced with humane euthanasia for feral cats.

In ancient Ireland, the shamrock symbolized rebirth, particularly the rebirth of warmer weather. But the shamrock also has more specific ties to St. Patrick, and remains one of the most recognizable symbols associated with his feast day. Historians believe that, on his return to Ireland (a native of Great Britain, St. Patrick was first taken to Ireland after being kidnapped by pirates, later returning as a Christian missionary after his release), St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach the natives about the Holy Trinity. In fact, an image of St. Patrick holding a shamrock first appeared on coins in 1675. The shamrock’s status as a symbol would continue to evolve when it became a figure of Irish patriotism during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In 2003, the shamrock was registered as an international trademark by the Irish government.

GThe Frost Process: Cultivating Forests, One White Oak at a Time
BY SUZIE WELLS
reece resident, Steven Frost, is a man of many talents and hobbies. A retired elementary school teacher, son of beloved Midlakes High School English teacher, Marilyn Frost, and husband of pastor at Newark’s Park Presbyterian Church, Susan Frost, Steven enjoys archery and bowhunting, as well as turning wood, including making hundreds of magic wands for Harry Potter festivals.
What gives Steven even greater prominence, however, is what’s known as “ e Frost Process” of raising thousands of baby white oak trees he then has given away across the region. His hobby gained the recognition of SUNY Oswego’s Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project, to which 1,400 of his baby white oaks have gone to help.
Steven says he got the “tree bug” from his dad, who was always digging up seedlings and planting them around his property. Steven decided to focus on white oak, because their acorns taste better and the deer, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, and turkey seem to prefer them over the black oak family of red, black, scarlet, and pin oaks.
e white oak family includes white, bur, swamp white, English, and chestnut oak.
“Over a 15-year period with lots of trial and error,” Steven developed a method to start white oak trees from acorns. e process starts by collecting acorns in late August or early September using a Nut Wizard tool.
Each day, he’d collected compost from the school cafeteria, expired salad bar items, le over mashed potatoes, bean dip, pizza, etc. He called this “bio-slime.” He dumped the bio-slime onto his compost pile and rototilled it in. is compost is the medium he then planted the acorns in. No sticks, no stones, and excellent nutrition. And it was free soil that otherwise saved material from the trash.
Bucket lids keep the soil moist so acorns don’t dry out and allow them to be stacked.
In spring when the temps stay above freezing, acorns wake up and sprout baby trees. Chipmunks and squirrels dig up acorns to eat the tender roots and tops, so Steven built cages out of ½” hardware cloth to keep the squirrels out and leaves the cages on until baby trees outgrow the height of the cages, usually in June or July. By that time, the trees don’t smell like acorns anymore and are safe from squirrels.
Oaks grow a tap root that goes straight down. Pots must be deep enough to allow adequate root growth. If planted in a shallow pot, roots grow around the inside of the pot with a weaker root system when the tree is transplanted. Steven was happy to discover that grocery store bakery departments’ icing buckets are perfect for his white oak acorns, 9” square, about 18” deep, with lids. Stores are happy to recycle/donate the empty buckets.
White oak acorns germinate and grow roots as soon as they contact soil in the fall. Roots might grow as long as 4” before cold temps force dormancy. In nature, an acorn gets buried by a squirrel and it becomes part of nature’s food pantry. Acorns that are not dug up nor eaten by deer or squirrels during winter sprout in the spring. Fall leaves and snow serve as insulation and prevent them from freezing and dying.
e biggest contributing factor to success, Steven says, is finding a cold, not freezing environment to store them in until spring. His outside storage space that shared a basement wall is perfect, with enough heat from the basement to keep the space cold but not freezing.
Baby white oaks should be harvested in September, or else the roots will outgrow the bucket. To harvest a bucket, Steven turns the garden hose to jet and sprays around the inside perimeter of the bucket, then dumps out the root/dirt/tree mass. Turning down the hose pressure, he rinses and picks apart roots that have grown together.
He says he usually ends up with 20-25 bare root seedlings 4-12” tall with root systems to match. ese should be planted immediately, within a day or two of harvesting, and the roots cannot dry out. Damp paper towels and plastic wrap help.
Over the years, Steven gave away these baby whites to teachers at his school, and finally a colleague referred him to Dr. Kristen Haynes of SUNY Oswego and the Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project.
Two hundred years ago, the Erie Canal barges were built out of white oak lumber, which meant most white oaks in this part of the country were overharvested. “ e Canal Forest Restoration Project is on a mission to restore the presence of white oak and white pine trees in New York State’s Canal Regions.” ey give away baby trees at events around the state.
Steven’s baby white oaks and his Frost Process have been helpful. Dr. Haynes says Steven “is a true unsung hero of the region and a highly valuable collaborator for our project.”

PAW’S CORNER

Homemade Treats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My new puppy’s training is going very well, and he responds very well to rewards of little treats. I worry about feeding him so many processed, store-bought snacks though. What are some natural or homemade alternatives for treats? -- Maggie T., Nashua, N.H.
A: Many alternative recipes for homemade doggie treats are available on the internet and at the bookstore, but the healthiest ones share many common features. is means that you can find quite a few good recipes out there, or develop a few of your own.
Common ingredients in dog treats are meat protein (either from fresh meats, broths or strained baby foods), whole-grain flours (like wheat, oats, corn or rice), eggs and powdered supplements (like brewer’s yeast or garlic). A variety of flavorings can be added, including peanut butter, sugar or molasses, vanilla, salt, and small amounts of cheese or milk. Dry or instant yeast can be added to biscuit-type recipes, to allow the dough to rise before baking.
A popular training asset is liver treats, which can be made fairly easy and which last about four to five days if stored properly (in an airtight container and refrigerated). Chicken livers, eggs and sweetener are pureed, flour or cornmeal is mixed in (some owners add powdered supplements as well) and the mixture is baked, cooled and sliced into bite-size treats.
Certain foods are never safe for dogs, so don’t use any recipe that contains these ingredients: chocolate, onions, raisins/grapes or macadamia nuts. ey seem like fairly innocent foods, but can cause serious health problems in dogs.
Baking and testing these snacks out on your puppy can be a lot of fun. Remember, you can also share recipes with other dog owners and perhaps find the perfect treat for your companion.

Little Leprechauns
Set your trap on St. Patrick’s Eve before going to bed. If you wake to find a treat in your trap, you caught a leprechaun!
1. Use a jar, box, or empty tissue box to build your Leprechaun trap.
2. Decorate your trap using rainbows, shamrocks, stickers, glitter or anything else you think might lure a leprechaun.
3. Create a trapping mechanism at the entry point of your trap. You can angle a stick or straw to prop open a trap door, or drape some felt over the top.
4. Build a ladder leading to your trap’s entry point using pipe cleaners or craft sticks.
5. Deposit some pennies, foil-wrapped coins or lucky charms inside your trap or on top of the felt as bait.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Proton-Pump Inhibitors
Highly Recommended for Barrett’s Esophagus
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a retired male over 65 and a former occasional cigar smoker. I quit 15 years ago after I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus. I was also a former drinker and quit seven years ago. I regularly completed all the biopsies as required and took my proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) daily as instructed.
This year, I read an article about PPIs contributing to dementia and neuropathy, which I have. My primary care physician suggested that I switch to over-the-counter H2 blockers as a safer approach. I developed an irregular heart rhythm and soaring blood pressure. I was then diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib). My stress test and echocardiogram are normal for my age. I am now on some heavyduty beta blockers, blood thinners and a very expensive rhythmcontrol drug.
A book I recently read written by two top cardiologists stated that long-term use of PPIs is dangerous and can cause AFib, but a recent article published by the National Institute of Health states the opposite. I also read that an irritated esophagus stimulates the esophagus nerve and triggers AFib. I’m confused now.
Because Barrett’s vastly increases my chances for getting a very aggressive cancer, doing nothing is not an option. I have already modified and continue to modify my diet, but that only goes so far. And as I’m sure you are aware of, a stroke caused by AFib is often life-threatening.
My complicated question is, which professional approach would you recommend: PPIs or H2 blockers? Is there a third option? -- B.B.
ANSWER: There is not a definitive answer on whether PPIs, like omeprazole, increase the risk of AFib. Studies are potentially confounded by the fact that people with AFib sometimes think they have stomach problems and may take a PPI, leading to a false association between the PPI and AFib. As you say, there have also been studies that suggest a decreased risk of AFib in people who use PPIs.
In my mind, the increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus as a result of untreated stomach acid reflux in a person with Barrett’s esophagus is the key in this situation, as Barrett’s is a condition where abnormal lining of the esophagus occurs due to years of acid exposure.
I do not believe over-the-counter H2 blockers, like famotidine (Pepcid), are adequate enough to reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, so I advise patients in your situation to use PPIs, despite their known risks.
The data suggesting a risk of dementia are weak. While there might be a small risk, the risk isn’t high enough to avoid using a PPI in a person with Barrett’s. B12 deficiency is absolutely a risk in people taking long-term PPIs. Low B12 can certainly lead to neuropathy, but both can be prevented and treated by testing for B12 deficiency and by getting supplementation, if needed.
I am very glad to hear you are getting routine endoscopic surveillance and biopsies so that any abnormal growth of the esophagus can be identified and treated promptly.

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).

WHEN A TOOTH MIGRATES
Teeth continue to shift inside your mouth for your entire life. Minor changes in tooth alignment are normal, often caused by loss of density and elasticity in bones and connective tissue as we age. But some tooth migrations are caused by periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Periodontal disease causes gums to pull away from teeth (recede) and bone loss, which loosen teeth. When caused by periodontal disease, the condition is called pathologic tooth migration (PTM). The front teeth are most affected and may shift, rotate, become displaced from the socket, or a combination of these. Injuries, teeth grinding, missing teeth, and even habits like thumb sucking or nail-biting cause normal tooth movement but can also cause moderate migration.
Want to improve your smile? You’ll be happy to know there are many techniques your dentist has to alter and otherwise enhance your appearance and give you good reason to smile. Let BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL help you choose the best method for your particular circumstances. If it’s time to stop hiding your smile, we invite you to experience the kind of up-to-date, knowledgeable dental care we provide here at 6 Batavia City Centre. We have office hours by appointment—call 585.343.4246.
P.S. Orthodontic treatments, dental procedures like bridges and implants, and addressing issues like teeth grinding can all help restore migratory teeth to their rightful positions.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE REPLACING WINDOWS
The wrong windows can adversely affect home value. The National Association of Realtors says homeowners get about 73 percent of their replacement window investment back when they resell a home. But choosing the wrong windows might lower the value of the home. It’s important to match the look of the
windows, including window material and the divided light pattern (the number of panes in each window) with the original windows.
HOW TO AVOID THE COLD COMFORT OF A DRAFTY HOUSE
For those who live in older homes, the transition to colder weather can be extra disheartening, as the vision of expensive heating bills, chilly rooms and drafty windows dance in their heads. However, it’s easy to change the outlook fromcoldtocozywithafewsimple DIY solutions.
The most effective way to improve the comfort level in your home is to properly insulate. Insulation can beinadequateinolderhomes.Over time, it can settle and compact, creating gaps. Topping up attic insulation will help keep the warm air in, reducing heating bills and preventing stress on your furnace. For easy installation, homeowners andprofessionalsalikerecommend a stone wool batt insulation. For attics, aim for an r-value of R-50 or adepthof16inches.
A little preparation can go a long way to keep the cold at bay. Seal out drafts by replacing worn weatherstripping and caulking along windows, doors, baseboards, and trim. For other ways to beat the cold, consider inexpensive window insulation kits along with thicker drapes, and don’t forget to reverse ceiling fans to push warm air back down.

DID YOU KNOW? The pinnacle of birthday celebrations, if there’s no piñata to break open, is when the birthday cake comes out and party attendees serenade the guest of honor. The song everyone harmonizes to is among the most widely recognized and well-loved tunes in the world. The “birthday song,” also known as “Happy Birthday to You,” is in the public domain in the United States and the European Union. The song originally was penned as a classroom greeting song titled “Good Morning to All,” written by sisters Mildred J. Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Both were educators and developed unique teaching strategies to assist students. The song was composed by Mildred and the lyrics were written by Patty to be used in kindergarten classrooms.
It is unclear who changed the lyrics and turned the song into a birthday ditty, as none of the earliest references to the song included credits or copyright notices. Two tales circulate regarding the eventual copyright of the song. One has The Summy Company registering a copyright in 1935, crediting authors Preston Ware Orem and Mrs. R. R. Forman. The other says Jessica Hill, sister to Mildred and Patty, who was working with publisher Clayton F. Summy Company, copyrighted and published “Happy Birthday to You” in 1935. Eventually Warner Chappell bought the company that was originally The Summy Company, and argued the birthday song was under copyright until 2030, making performances of the song illegal without paying royalties. However, a federal judge ruled in 2015 that Warner Chappell’s claim to a copyright on the song was not valid. The judge ruled its registration only covered a specific piano version, not the melody and lyrics. Therefore, “Happy Birthday to You” can be sung both privately and publicly without being subject to royalties or other restrictions.

Refresh Your Home for Spring
Get rid of grime
A whole season’s worth of dirt and dust accumulates during the cold winter months. A deep clean inside and out can restore your home to its former glory. Inside, take time to launder all of your linens, including curtains, rugs and bedding. Move furniture to vacuum behind and below, and don’t overlook dust and dirt magnets like mirrors, light fixtures and the insides of cabinets, especially higher shelves that see infrequent use. Outdoors, hose off or power-wash surfaces like windows, siding, decks and concrete to restore a crisp, clean appearance.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BEER & LENT
In the weeks leading up to Easter, practicing Christians commonly commit to a period of fasting and abstinence known as Lent. This commitment commemorates Christ’s 40-day journey into the desert, and the sacrifices modern day Christians make are meant to replicate those made by Christ during that period. Many Christians abstain from alcohol during Lent, but those who do may not realize that beer played a significant role in helping a small community of 17th century monks survive the Lenten fasting season. Monks from the Order of St. Francis of Paola, often referred to as “Paulaner monks,” fasted from all solid foods throughout the season of Lent during the 1600s. According to the Paulaner Brewery, the monks, originally from southern Italy, relocated to Bavaria, once an independent country but now a southern state in Germany, in the 1600s. Their strict religious orders forbade the monks from consuming solid food during Lent, but they still needed nutrients to sustain them. So the monks concocted a strong brew loaded with carbohydrates and nutrients. The monks must have liked the beer, as they continued to brew it and even began selling it in their community. An early doppelbock, the beer was one of the first offerings from the Paulaner Brewery, which opened its doors in 1634 and remains open today.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB
Emphasize organization. Much of the stress associated with relocating can be traced to the logistics of uprooting oneself and one’s family. Men and women who are unaccustomed to making lists may want to start, as doing so can help keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed before hitting the road. Various unique tasks, from canceling utilities to changing insurance policies, must be completed before moving, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s been done and what hasn’t. Maintaining a to-do list and checking off tasks as they’re completed can simplify the relocation process.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Stress affects people from all walks of life, and the causes of stress are as varied as the people it afflicts.
In its 2017 Stress in AmericaTM survey, the American Psychological Association found that the three most common sources of stress were the future of the nation (63 percent), money (62 percent) and work (61 percent). According to the National Institute of Mental Health, routine stress that becomes chronic can result in a host of negative side effects. Such stress can suppress the immune system, disrupt digestion and have an adverse effect on sleep. But men and women who feel stressed at the end of each day need not resign themselves to sleepless nights and/or weakened immune systems. A proactive approach to alleviating stress during the day can help men and women reduce their stress levels and avoid the negative side effects associated with chronic stress.
