Planning an Outdoor Oasis (Family Features) - If it’s time to think about making some improvements or additions to your home, outside may be the best place to get started.

D efin e th e Sp ace.An outdoor room could be the entire yard, or just a small part of it. Think about it having walls, a ceiling and flooring, just like an indoor room.

• Walls are vertical elements that help define a space, such as hedges, trees, lattice screens, raised garden beds, railings, a gazebo or fence to frame your space.

• Ceilings provide shelter and shade. Think of awnings, umbrellas and pergolas. Or use what’s naturally there, like the branches of a shade tree.

• Flooring could be the existing lawn, a mulched pathway or a created floor such as a concrete or flagstone patio, or deck.

Decide the Elements. Once you know where your oasis is, it’s time to figure out what needs to go in it.

• Decking - A low-maintenance composite deck adds versatility and beauty that you can customize to meet just about any need.

When planning a deck, don’t make the mistake of building one that’s too small. Mark the area you want to use, then put your outdoor furniture in it to see if you have the space you need.

Use an online planning tool to explore designs, materials, colors and accessories.

Be sure to check on local building codes and permits needed before starting any construction.

Fire and Food. Use your outdoor room any time of day by planning a place to cook and eat.

• An outdoor kitchen can be as simple as a portable grill or as elaborate as your budget will allow. A DIY pizza oven can also be a fun way to enjoy cooking outside.

• Fireplaces, fire pits and chimineas bring coziness along with great function - and they help extend the outdoor enjoyment in cooler weather.

Accessories. Just like indoor room, outdoor rooms benefit from appropriate accessories. Make sure you plan for them in your budget as well as in your designs.

• Lighting - Landscape lighting, lanterns, candles or strings of white outdoor lights can all add beautiful ambience.

• Sound - Add pleasing audio with outdoor stereo sound systems, trickling water features or even just simple wind chimes.

• Color - Garden art, tablescapes, container plantings and fabric can put colorful finishing touches on your outdoor room.

AVOID ACHES AND PAINS WHEN GARDENING People who have not spent much time in a garden may not consider this rewarding hobby much of a threat to their health. But as veteran gardeners can attest, gardening can contribute to nagging aches and pains that can force even the most ardent green-thumbers indoors.

Gardening is a physical activity that, despite its peaceful nature, can be demanding on the body.

TREE SERVICES

Have trees that need removed or trimmed?

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Owner: My Dog’s Poop Not My Responsibility

Call “The Tree Service”

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I see no reason to pick up my dog’s poop, and I’m tired of being told that it’s my responsibility. I’m a taxpayer, and part of those taxes go toward cleaning the streets. If my dog poops on the curb or the sidewalk, the city should clean it up. That’s what I pay for. I also don’t see why my neighbor gets so upset when my dog poops on her front lawn. It’s all fertilizer. It’s time for big government to do its job and stop making us pick up after our dogs. -- Bill in Burlington DEAR BILL: Well, that’s a poopy attitude. Here’s the simple fact: You are responsible for your dog. Not the city, not your neighbor. Where your dog’s actions impact other people, animals or the environment, it’s your responsibility to minimize or prevent that impact.

Dog poop left on the sidewalk, curb or street eventually breaks down, right? Wrong. It gets stepped on by other animals or people, who track fecal bacteria all over the place. It washes into the wastewater system and introduces new bacteria into natural waterways, sickening wildlife.

The neighbor’s yard is a no-go zone because it’s their yard, plain and simple. Dog poop or urine can discolor or even burn their grass.

Your dog is trespassing. And if you think that letting your dog poop in a park is OK, think again. Would you want a little kid running barefoot in the park to step in that poop?

All those problems are minimized when you take along a little baggie (preferably a compostable one), pick up that poop and dispose of it properly. There’s no need to debate this. Pick it up.

Hesitant to Get a COVID Vaccine?

Consider these 5 Vax Facts!

BY AMANDA DUDEK

I

“Should I get a COVID vaccine?”

t is a question that everyone seems to be asking themselves these days.

We understand that health care is deeply personal (Hello, HIPAA laws!). At the same time, we would like to help our readers make the most informed decisions they can with the most up-to-date information available. We hope this most current information (pulled from the CDC, Yale Health [Yale University], and John Hopkins Medicine [The Johns Hopkins University]) will be helpful as you navigate this new pandemic landscape. As always, consult your health care provider before making any medical decisions, including those related to COVID vaccines.

Vaccination protection reduces COVID-19 deaths. Getting vaccinated severely reduces the likelihood that you will contract COVID-19, and even if you do, it greatly reduces the likelihood of severe infection, hospitalization, and death due to COVID-19. According to the CDC, given that the effects of COVID-19 can be so severe, whether to the person who contracted the virus or to those with whom that person comes into contact, the benefits of avoiding infection, or at least lessening it to a great extent far outweigh the “known and potential risks” of the vaccines.

While it is true the science studying the effects of COVID-19 vaccinations is young, it does not follow that that science is inaccurate. In fact, as studies continue, the evidence shows that not only are all of the currently authorized vaccines very good at preventing the severe COVID-19 cases, but also that “fully vaccinated people are less likely to be infected without showing any symptoms,” which should reduce the spread of infection.

Vaccines create and maintain immunity. Many people are under the impression that if they have already contracted COVID-19, they are immune from future coronavirus infection and do not need a COVID-19 vaccination. However, we just don’t know. Because the virus is new, the CDC finds the length and strength of immunity from infection to be unknown. Furthermore, adds Yale Health, “it’s not known what antibody levels are needed to protect against reinfection.” The most up-to-date information suggests that, “reinfection with the virus that causes COVID-19 is uncommon in the months after initial infection but may increase with time.” In other words, post-coronavirus immunity may weaken, leaving one susceptible to infection. The need to vaccinate for COVID-19 may be similar to the need to vaccinate for the flu: regular and reoccurring to prevent sickness or at least reduce the severity of infection.

It should also be noted that one cannot get sick with COVID-19 from a vaccine. “None of the COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that causes COVID-19, so a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19,” states the CDC. Johns Hopkins concurs. In fact, this is common among many vaccines. A “dead” sample of the offending virus or disease is introduced into the body. The body, recognizing an intruder, designs and manufactures antibodies to fight it. Should your body ever be introduced to a “live” sample of that same intruder in the future, it is armed and prepared to destroy it.

COVID-19 vaccines have been well tested. It has been suggested that since COVID-19 vaccines have received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), they have not been soundly tested. The CDC insists that it did not skip necessary steps, but rather, that all “routine processes and procedures remain[ed] in place to ensure the safety of any vaccine.” This includes careful testing and continuous monitoring for problems and side effects.

None of the original vaccine trials, which have fully independent safety monitoring boards, have reported any serious safety concerns. While the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was temporarily paused on April 13th to investigate a small number (6) reports, the CDC and the FDA announced that this vaccine could resume on April 23rd.

The CDC has further determined that people with common allergies “can safely receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” unless the person who

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

●

GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

is allergic to specific ingredients within the vaccine itself. Clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines did not include pregnant women, women who were breastfeeding, or children under 12. However, according to Yale Health, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) does not recommend withholding the COVID-19 vaccine from pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Also, “early data demonstrated a robust secretion of protective antibodies in the breastmilk of people vaccinated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.” As always, talk with your health care provider before being vaccinated.

Quick vaccine development is a good thing. Speed can sometimes be misunderstood as carelessness, but nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, several incredible scientific and technological advancements as well as unprecedented funding, resources, and focus have sped vaccine research and creation efforts like never before. For example, vaccine creation technologies have been in development for years prior to COVID-19. One of these technological marvels, messenger RNA (mRNA), “allows a faster approach than the traditional way vaccines are made,” states Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Another time-saving factor was widespread cooperation and information sharing. Social media allowed companies to reach out to the many potential study volunteers which the widespread and highly contagious coronavirus had created. People were eager to help, and these people, as well as many countries, shared information to speed along the vaccine development processes. Finally, vaccine developers conducted some testing stages simultaneously and began manufacturing vaccine supplies in anticipation of approval, all funded in advance by governments recognizing the need for a speedy solution.

Vaccine side effects are typically short lived or nonexistent. It should be noted that while some people do not experience any side effects, others do, so everyone should prepare for them accordingly. The CDC states that common side effects on the arm where one gets one’s shot may include pain, redness, and swelling. The rest of one’s body may experience tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever, and nausea. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that, if you have had COVID-19 already, the first shot may result in more noticeable side effects; whereas, if you have not had COVID-19, the second shot might result in more noticeable side effects. Be sure to consult your doctor before receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and if you experience vaccination side effects.

If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Consignments Welcome!!

SENIOR NEWS LINE By Matilda Charles What Will We Do With Our Time?

What did we really accomplish this past year? We’ve had time, certainly, with all these lockdown days, weeks and months, to do any number of things.

After reviewing my year of COVID, I realize that I could have done so much more, had I only known just how long “flattening the curve” was actually going to take.

By my calculations, I could have accomplished the following: • Painted every room of the house three times. Yet here I sit with color swatches still taped to the wall where I put them last spring when I thought that interior painting would be a good summer project.

• Written 1.25 novels, judging by how long it took to produce the others I never started. Too many other things to do, too many fun events coming up, I thought. Had I known just how much free, quiet and solitary time there was going to be, I would have started on Day One. • Become fluent in French with Duolingo free online lessons.

I misjudged the coronavirus, seriously misjudged just how long it would be with us. I was certain that it would be gone by June.

Then by September. And here we are, 15 months later, still wearing masks and staying home.

I’m determined not to let another year go by with so little to show for it. I’ve picked an interior paint color. Now I’ll order the paint and go collect it curbside at the hardware store. The first file of a new novel is ready, with “Chapter 1” and a first paragraph. It’s a start. My Duolingo account is still there, holding my place where I left off long ago.

It’s possible that in a year, we’ll be right where we are now. What will you do with the time?

This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper.

The Crossword Puzzle is provided by Tribune Media Services.

How To Avoid Growing Bored In Retirement • Embrace a new hobby. Whether it’s perfecting your golf game, writing that novel, learning to cook like a gourmet chef or whatever else you might have always wanted to do, retirement is a great time to do it.

• Volunteer. If a part-time job is not up your alley, then consider volunteering in your community. Volunteers are always in demand, and volunteering with a local charity can provide a sense of purpose and provide opportunities to meet likeminded fellow retirees, all while helping to quell your boredom.

M any elements of vehicle maintenance become second nature to drivers once they have a few months of driving under their belts. Oil changes, routine checkups and periodic vehicle inspections can keep cars runn ing smoothly and safely on the road. But few drivers remember to maintain their headlights, a potentiall y dangerous oversight that can compromise the safety of drivers and their fellow motorists.

Cart courtesy Is this a new trend? The last few time I’ve been to the grocery store I see people parking their cart at the end of an aisle (or worse yet in the middle) while they walk away to shop down the aisle. I don’t really get how this is an advantage to them but it certainly is an inconvenience to the rest of us. I don’t feel comfortable touching and moving your things, but I’m not happy waiting for the traffic jam to clear either, so please take your cart with you.

S E V RA Mom, you rock!

To my mom and best friend, thank you for giving me the best gifts of all: love, trust and friendship. You rock! Love, Christine You're one great Mom! Thanks for always being there, Mom. We are who we are today (successful, crazy, beautiful, and great moms in our right) thanks to all you taught us. You have our eternal love and gratitude - Squirrel and Moose.

To My #1!

Mom, every day I wonder how I was blessed with you as mine. You’re the one I aspire to be for my kids. Love you and thank you for everything! -Carmen

Garbage in the fields Anyone traveling on (local road) in (local town) has the joy of seeing all the trash blown into the fields on the east side of (local store). If all this trash were blowing down (local street) in (local town) you know something would be done about it. Local officials do not seem to want to do anything about this, most of them do not even return my phone calls. Where is the public outcry? Where are the environmentalists? This plastic trash will remain in the fields for years to come and the farmer who works these fields could face issues with the trash getting caught in the equipment.

Let’s get someone in office who will enforce our local laws. Shame on local officials for not addressing this ongoing problem. - G.G. Update Campaign Signs I wish all those Trump 2020 signs were replaced with Trump 2024. That election is over. You can see how our country is going since the new year started. I’d be happy to see more Trump signs for 2024.

You're a blessing, Mom! Thank you, Mom, for being such a patient teacher, Godly example, great listener, and most of all, for loving me so much! I love you! - Amanda Congrats, COVID vaccinators!

For far too long, it was (and still is) a very scary situation with the threat of COVID. Hoping and praying for a vaccine that was on its way and would work was our reality. We now have at least 3 solutions, and yet some people feel that they don't need a vaccine. How quickly our minds change once the threat of extinction eases. Cheers to all who have gotten vaccinated or are about to. That's how we'll get our lives back!

Representatives What about the people/homeowners that don’t have children or a second income to fall back on during this pandemic?

CURE!!

Our 2nd location

YOUR FUNGAL TOENAILS

Please contact us at 716-677-2273 www.wnyurology.com

• Were you embarrassed this summer to wear sandals or go barefoot because of thick, yellow nails? Now’s the time to get treatment.

• If left untreated, fungal toenails can cause: recurring athlete’s foot, infected ingrown toenails (requiring surgery) and discomfort wearing shoes, not to mention their unsightly appearance.

• Recent studies show that fungal nail infections lead to a weakened immune system. During times like this we all need to keep our immune systems functioning optimally.

• Patients with diabetes, poor circulation, and numbness to their feet can develop more serious complications.

• There are safer, new topical medications available to help cure fungal toenails.

• A simple one a day pill for 3 months will usually cure fungal toenails within 6-9 months from the start of treatment.

• Treatment now may result in clear, thinner nails.

• Call now for an appointment to determine if you’re a candidate for this newer treatment.

TYPES OF TISSUE YOU CAN DONATE

Dr. Joseph Canzoneri, DPM • Dr. Evan LaTourrette

Bone: Doctors used donated bone tissue to treat patients with various diseases and ailments, include orthopedic cancers, spinal injuries, trauma, and damaged joints.

Niagara Reflexology www.niagarareflexology.com • julie@niagarareflexology.com Conveniently located inside Guler Cardiology and Wellness 34 Swan St, Suite #3, Batavia, NY 14020 Quality Sleep To help you feel your best and sleep more soundly, try the following tips: Take a shower – About 90 minutes before bedtime, take a hot bath or shower. This will help to reduce muscle tension & accelerate sleep onset.

Create an electronics curfew – The blue light from your favorite electronic devices interrupts your ability to relax and fall asleep. Don’t use your smartphone, tablet and other digital devices for one hour before bed.

Stretch to relax – Stretching for 10-15 minutes before bed will help reduce muscle tension. Turn down noises and do some gentle stretches to relax the muscles and mind.

Set a wake-up schedule – Try to wake up at the same time each morning, even on the weekends. This will help keep your internal clock ticking correctly so you can fall asleep more quickly and sleep deeply.

Embrace natural light – About 15 minutes of sunlight each morning will help reset your circadian rhythm so you can rise more naturally and then sleep better in the evenings.

We Care About

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

MOUTH ULCERS Mouth ulcers, small lesions inside the mouth, can be intensely painful.

They make eating, drinking, and even talking uncomfortable, so determining the triggers that promote them is important to those who suffer sores frequently. Dental hygiene products that contain sodium laurel sulfate and sensitivity to acidic foods such as citrus, berries, and coffee are known ulcer triggers. Hormonal shifts and deficiency in vitamin B12, zinc, folate, and iron are also possible culprits.

Unfortunately, mouth ulcers can also be a sign of more serious conditions including HIV/AIDS, diabetes, celiac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease. Most sores are temporary and heal on their own in a day or so, but others can linger for several weeks.

At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, our philosophy is not only to treat dental needs, but more importantly, to educate our patients to prevent future problems. To this end, our mission is to provide open and free communication and the highest standard of care in an environment of health, mutual understanding, and respect. We offer complete general dental care, from cleanings to full mouth reconstruction to repair of any damage done by neglect or trauma.

We also provide cosmetic dentistry here at 6 Batavia City Centre, for the sunniest smiles possible. Call us at 585.343.4246 for an appointment.

P.S. Repeated, accidental bites to the same place in a person’s mouth or on the tongue can cause mouth ulcers that heal very slowly and leave scar tissue behind.

clinic in Mexico where he was fed a bleach solution that was supposed to cure his autism, but instead it made him very sick. He was deeply distressed and regressed in his behavior, and there was nothing my friend could do because in Mexico these kinds of clinics are allowed to operate with impunity.

Isn’t there some way to stop this kind of thing? -- P.P.L. ANSWER: Before I get into why this story makes me both sad and angry, I want to address autism. Autism is an increasingly diagnosed condition that includes difficulty with social interactions, stereotyped repetitive movements and delayed language skills, although there is a subset of people with autism with no language delay. It’s absolutely critical to recognize that autism is a spectrum condition, ranging from people with profound disabilities to those who are so mildly affected that the diagnosis is very subtle. Correct diagnosis is complicated, even for an expert. Intellectual abilities in autism range from severe cognitive impairment to far abovenormal intelligence. As such, the proper medical care of a person with autism depends on his or her unique situation.

Although most people on the autism spectrum need some extra empathy and understanding in order to have the best possible life, people with autism do not need to be “cured.”

There is no “cure” for autism, so when you hear a professed “cure,” you should be deeply suspicious.

In the case of the bleach solution, it is sadly not just in Mexico where this happens. The Food and Drug Administration had to warn consumers against the use of a product called “miracle mineral solution,” “chlorine dioxide” and other names. It is hard for me to believe the FDA has to warn people not to drink (or make your child drink) a powerful bleaching agent, but there are increasing reports of its use.

It causes damage to the intestines, as you correctly note, but may also cause liver failure, nausea and vomiting, and dehydration. There is no evidence that this “treatment” is effective for any condition, even though it is marketed for cancer and HIV as well as autism. This is what makes me angry: I cannot imagine a crime much worse than profiting off of a treatment known to be both dangerous and ineffective.

What makes me sad is that I can empathize with parents who have a child with autism who want their child to be more like other children, more “normal.” It takes time to come to grips with the fact that your child is not like others, but that he or she is a unique person who should be loved and accepted for who he or she is. That means finding creative ways to really help your child. There is a wide range of appropriate treatments for people with autism, preferably considered as early as possible, which is why it is so important to make the correct diagnosis quickly in a child with autism. ***

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. © 2021 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

THE HISTORY OF CORSAGES The term “corsage” was once a reference to the bodice of a woman’s dress. The first corsages were actually worn on the bodice, which is the part of a woman’s dress that is above the waist, and some believed the corsage could ward off evil spirits. According to PollenFloralDesign.com, by the 1900s, corsages were worn closer to the shoulder than the bodice.

At this time, the flowers were pinned on upside down, with the bow at the top. The corsages were also larger at this time than they are today.

The tradition of giving corsages to young ladies on their prom nights is relatively recent. In fact, many historians agree that this practice likely began in the 20th century in the United States when gentlemen would typically arrive to pick up their prom dates bearing bouquets of flowers for their dates’ parents. The young men would then remove one flower from the bouquet and attach it to their dates’ dress.

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires.

Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson * C.S.R. in Florida sends this reminder: Pull out the plugs on toasters, microwaves, etc.

Appliances still draw a bit of power when not in use but plugged in. * Fasten buttons, zippers and other closures before laundering a garment. This is especially important for any item that includes a hook-and-loop closure.

The hooks will catch on other garments, and best case will be filled with lint. Worst case: They can tear at the threads of other items of clothing. * If you have a bunch of your family’s historical documents, make sure you scan them and preserve them for future generations. It’s always nice to forward copies to relatives -- you never know when someone will get involved in genealogy and really want to see those birth records, baptism certificates and baby photos. * You can sharpen knitting needles with a pencil sharpener.

You also can use an emery board.

Sharp needles work best! * “If you have two pairs of similar slacks -- one navy and one black -- you can put a safety pin through the tag on one of them so you can tell them apart. I have a pin in the navy slacks. They really do look similar until you’re out in the light.” -- T.L. in Virginia * Make chopping walnuts easier: Put some in a bowl, and nest another bowl into it, then rock the top bowl back and forth to crush the walnuts.
