Memorial Day
Local DMV
Memorial Day in our community is a heartfelt celebration combining remembrance with the joyful start of summer. From what I saw, so many towns waved their flags and patriotic decorations, honoring the brave souls who served our nation even through the rain. The annual parade is a highlight, featuring local marching bands, veterans, and community groups proudly making their way down Main Street. Thank you to those involved.
CSA Boxes
Went to local DMV with son to get his permit. He lost his glasses at work so went to have eye appointment to get new ones. With all paperwork in hand from eye exam DMV said there’s no proof of passing eye exam even though he has new prescription for glasses. Had to go back to eye glass place 45 min drive to have eye Dr. Sign paper saying he passed eye test. Then still given hassle because he didn’t have his glasses. What is an eye test paperwork for then. Tired of people wasting time even eye place said same paper they gave him. Just a waste of time on both ends.
A big shoutout to our local farms for the CSA boxes that are starting out for the season. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated!
YOLO
Groceries
We would like to thank everyone who was present at Seneca Farms last weekend for tolerating our flamboyant rambunctious cast party. We do realize that we were a little on the loud side, but hey, YOLO! we are honestly so surprised you didn’t critique our exuberant celebrations. we may have had a little too much ice cream, but hey, YOLO! We also would like too thank all of the workers who stayed late to deliver that heavenly treat known as ice cream to each and every one and all of us. Seneca Farms, you are the light that guides us in this confusing world.
We keep talking about high prices for food. There’s all kinds of reasons or excuses for this. COVID? That’s over. Shipping from California Ports. That’s over. Fuel cost vary. So why aren’t costs returning to the original prices? I went into one store for hotdogs. It seemed way too expensive so I went to a different store. I bought 3x the amount for $2.50 more. There’s no excuse other than corporate GREED taking advantage of consumers. I’m sick of these companies or corporations bleeding us dry. The old saying, “the rich get richer, the poor get poorer”is a fact”! Please do your homework even if the store is local or convenient. That’s the only way we can fight back.

HOST A SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE
Price things reasonably It’s tempting to overprice items, but a good rule of thumb is to mark things for one-half to one-third of the original value. Be open to negotiation, but try to haggle with a “buy one get one” approach, rather than marking down the price considerably. After all, the goal is to get rid of as many items as possible, with financial gain a distant second.

TOOLS OF THE HOME RENOVATOR’S TRADE
Home renovation projects can be both exciting and tricky. Do-ityourselfers are inspired by designs showcased in magazines, websites and their own communities. When DIY enthusiasts see a design they like, it’s understandable that they may want to emulate these looks at home. Remodeling is one of the larger DIY undertakings, and it goes beyond simple carpentry. Considering demolition, reconstruction, electrical, plumbing, and masonry work may be part of the DIY package, homeowners who are thinking about renovations must first stock up on the tools and other supplies of the trade. Having the right tools can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that needs to be redone.

MILLWORK CAN ADD APPEAL & A CLASSIC FEEL
Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.
Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.

Workin’ On the Railroad in Mendon and Batavia
BY DAVE REILLY
From the mid-1800s until the 1960s, Batavia could rightfully be called a railroad town. With four different rail lines going through the city from Walnut Street through the Jackson/Ellicott area and across Harvester Ave and Cedar Street, there was train traffic 24 hours a day.
Many local men employed by the railroads were of Irish or Italian descent, so on a summer day along the line, you could smell the aroma of boiling potatoes and corned beef, or on the rare occasion when it could be afforded, garlicky marinara sauce from home garden tomatoes, wa ing from open windows.
ere are many former or current Batavians of a certain age whose parents or grandparents made their living working for one of the rail lines in some capacity. In his 30-year career, my grandfather worked in several positions for three different railroads, the Lehigh Valley, Erie, and New York Central.
James D. Reilly was my paternal grandfather. He was born in 1870 in Mendon, NY to Irish immigrants, Patrick O’Reilly and Bridget Costello, who raised six children in a house about the size of today’s two-car garages. e term “dirt poor” certainly applied to them – all the way down to the earthen floor root cellar of their tiny home.
e house was located very close to Rochester Junction, a stop and transfer point on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. From there, passengers could switch trains onto a spur that went to downtown Rochester to the station at what is now Dinosaur BBQ (as you eat ribs and sauceslathered brisket, picture a chaotic hubbub of travelers in suits, bowler hats, and corseted dresses rushing to and from steam trains).
Around 1900, James D. worked as a laborer for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. By 1905, he moved to a towerman position in the interlocking tower at Rochester Junction. According to census data and Mendon Town Historian, Diane Ham, James D. and his wife, Catherine Nussbaumer, and her elderly father, George, likely lived in a small “shanty” on railroad property.
By 1910, James D. was promoted to foreman of a track crew, with harder work but better pay. Track maintenance was back-breaking work in the blazing heat of summer and even harder in the freezing, snowy winters, but the family needed the money. By then, George had passed away, and James and Catherine had two children, George and Margaret. ey moved to a rented house near the railroad.
In 1911, my father, James Francis, was born and then my aunt Katherine in 1913. e Reillys, who had by now dropped the O from their name, with a growing family, needed better housing. So, in 1915, the family moved to Batavia, where their final child, Mary, was born in 1919.
In Batavia, James F. continued as a track gang foreman with the Erie Railroad. At first, the family lived in a rented place, but sometime before 1920, they purchased a home at 27 Cedar St. e house wasn’t large, but it had three bedrooms and two floors, which must have seemed like a mansion to them.
e house was directly adjacent to the four tracks of the New York Central Railroad. Chugging and hissing steam engine trains passed by
at all hours of the day and night, and they lived next to a crossing, so whistles were blown on every approach.
Cedar Street was the ideal place for railroad employees to live because the tracks of four rails – Erie, New York Central, Peanut, and Lehigh Valley – all bisected the road at some point. But since three of the railroads crossed Cedar at street level (the Lehigh had a bridge), wagon and later automobile traffic could be held up interminably.
James Francis was a loyal union man, and that membership paid off when a section of track dropped on his leg, and he could no longer work the way he had. e union stepped in and transferred James to the New York Central Railroad nursery crew, raising and caring for flowers on the grounds of the NYC stations between Buffalo and Syracuse.
Unfortunately, my grandfather was stubborn about his medical care and refused to see a doctor regularly. In 1931, he developed sepsis from infection in this leg, and he passed away at age 61 in his home on Cedar Street, next to the railroad tracks that had been part of his life for 30 years.
It is a fanciful notion, but it gives comfort to think that perhaps as James D. Reilly passed from this life, a lonesome whistle blew on a passing train, signaling the end of shi for a hard-working railroad man.

Here’s A Tip
* If you keep aloe around for soothing your skin a er being out in the sun, take this tip from J.C. in Florida: “Keep aloe in your fridge; it keeps it cool, and it feels even more refreshing.”
* Want to eat more fruits and veggies? Keep pre-cut fruit and easy veggie dippers like carrots, bell pepper strips and celery at eye level in see-through containers in your fridge. e more you see it, the more you will eat it.
* To create an easy resting mat for toddlers, sew three pillowcases together in a row along the long end. When needed, stuff three pillows in, and it creates a long mat, suitable for naptime or TV time.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE
(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:
Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.
Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.
Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

ROASTED BANANA COFFEE CAKE
Serves 8
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 tablespoon at room temperature for the pan
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 bananas
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan with the 1 tablespoon room temperature butteranddustwiththegranulated sugar and tip out any excess.
Place the bananas on a small rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then add the roasted bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.
With the mixer running on low speed, spoon in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the pecan topping. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN
Change your reading habits. E-reader enthusiasts may have access to millions of books at their fingertips, but that access could come at a steep cost. Distractions abound when reading books on tablets, smartphones and e-readers. The internet is only a swipe or two away when reading e-books, while print books provide no such access to the internet.Tablets and e-readers employ the he same notification system as smartphones, so readers who insist on going the digital route can turn those notifications off before cuddling up with a good book. But that might not be enough, as readers can still visit the home screen of their devices and begin browsing the internet. Print books are ideal for those who want to read with as little device-related distractions as possible.

DID YOU KNOW?
Though office work might not be the first profession individuals think of in relation to elevating one’s cancer risk, sitting at a desk for most of the day can increase a person’s risk for cancer. According to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, sitting for most of the day without engaging in physical activity puts individuals at increased risk for cancer. How much extra risk does that entail? Though no two individuals are the same, studies have equated sitting for eight hours a day without any physical activity to the risk posed by obesity and smoking. The DFCI notes that sitting over long periods of time has been known to cause increased blood pressure, high cholesterol and excess body fat around the waist, each of which have been identified as factors that increase a person’s risk for cancer.
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Mazzotta
Keeping your pet healthy on a tight budget
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a dog and a cat, and my last vet visit cost over $300. It’s incredibly difficult to pay for vet care on top of the ridiculous cost of housing, grocery prices and my own health care costs. How can I keep pet care affordable? -- John in Newton, Massachusetts
DEAR JOHN: Pet care can be quite pricey, and I know you want the best for your dog and cat. I just laid out a few hundred dollars for my senior cat’s checkup and tests, so I feel your pain.
e Humane Society of the United States has some good information about cost-saving options, discounted veterinary services and ways to stretch out payments: www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet.
One interesting avenue is veterinary colleges. Today, almost every state has at least one school of veterinary medicine, and many operate lowcost clinics.
Check the town hall or municipal website for upcoming shot clinics. ese are held in many communities at least once a year at an easy to access location (like a pet store) and offer required vaccinations at a very affordable cost. Some clinics also offer microchip services and pet wellness exams for a few dollars more.
Finally, if you have the means and just want to get your budget under control, take a look at pet insurance. ere are a number of companies providing this service, with several coverage options -- including reimbursing the cost of annual exams and vaccinations, as well as care for unplanned injuries and illnesses. Coverage varies, and it’s important to read the fine print and compare plans closely, but it can really help keep unexpected costs from derailing your checking account.

ADVANTAGES OF CERAMIC FILLINGS
Ceramic fillings, made from porcelain, are a popular option for repairing teeth because they’re durable, designed to match the natural color of teeth, and can be custom colored to match tooth hue. Ceramic fillings strengthen your teeth more than other types of fillings because of the molecular bonding process used to create them. Ceramic porcelain is stronger than composite resin, silver amalgam, and gold fillings, and it can last fifteen years or longer. It’s also less toxic and more resistant to stains and abrasions than other filling materials. Ceramic porcelain can be used for indirect fillings (inlays and onlays) to correct damage too extensive for a regular filling but not bad enough for a crown. These can last 30 years.
At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we are all about the details. When you
visit our office, we know that your smile and dental health depend on our thorough attention to the many aspects of optimum oral care. We also know that dental patients put a great deal of trust in their providers and expect compassion, integrity, and excellence in the care they receive. You’re sure to find that and more here at 6 Batavia City Centre. We have office hours by appointment; please call 585.343.4246. We accept most insurances.
P.S. The initial cost of ceramic fillings may be higher than most other types of fillings, but they may save money over time because they last longer.

Patient Seems Unsure of ALS Diagnosis
DEAR DR. ROACH: My question is about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). I have been diagnosed with this horrible, debilitating disease, and I don’t know where I am headed. I went to a hospital for a second opinion and additional testing to rule out other possible causes of this numbness. Nary a test was done -- the neurologist looked at the electromyography (EMG) done by a neuromuscular doctor at another facility, and he just agreed with the diagnosis.
I wanted to get tests done to see if it was perhaps a concussion, if it was from using yard sprays or from COVID vaccines, or if it was due to my having a terrible bad back for years, but none of these were even considered. I am deteriorating rapidly. Would you please give me some suggestions? Am I wrong for seeking other causes? -- J.B.
ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with ALS. I understand why you would like to believe there are other possibilities for this because there are no treatments for ALS that can stop the progression of this fatal disease.
The diagnosis of ALS is made after a thorough examination and history review. Electrodiagnostic studies, like an EMG or a nerve conduction test, can help support the diagnosis, but they do not make the diagnosis themselves. The nerve conduction study is normal for ALS, while the EMG shows the nerves that are not connecting to the muscles. Other diseases of the muscles and muscle nerves should be considered. MRI scans are usually performed, as they can identify conditions that mimic ALS. The terrible back you mention could include a condition called cervical myelopathy, which has some features that can be mistaken for ALS. Routine blood and urine testing should be done to exclude other conditions, such as Lyme disease, and the spinal fluid is sometimes analyzed if the neurologist suspects immune-medicated nerve disease.
However, none of the other possibilities that you mention is likely to be confused for ALS by an experienced neurologist who does a complete exam.
I have three concerns: The first is that you are suggesting you may not have had a thorough evaluation so far. Second, the only symptom you mention is numbness, and although this can occasionally happen with ALS, you are much more likely to have weakness and muscle twitching without numbness. Third, ALS tends to progress slowly, not rapidly.
For all these reasons, and because you need to be sure of your condition, I recommend getting another opinion from a neurologist who doesn’t rely on someone else’s history review and exam.

Q&A Master Gardeners with the
My hostas have a milky substance coming out of the new shoots. This is the first time I have ever seen this. I’ve cut off the affected shoots. Any ideas as to the cause of this?
Without seeing the plant to identify exactly what it could be,a white “milky substance” around your hostas could be a number of things, including two of themostcommon:anthracnoseand slime mold.
If it is slime mold, then your approach of “cutting off the affected shoots,” is
e
from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County
spot on. Removing the affected area is the best treatment, being careful not to allow spores to spread. Very often mulch fosters such growth and spores spread even with the best of intentions. I have found the removal of all debris around hostas to be the best practice in preventing slime mold. Larger growth concentrations, though, may call for the use of a fungicide, which I recommend not using without consulting your local Cornell Cooperative Extension Office. Anthracnoseisalsoafungusandisthe
most common and most widespread in cultivating good hosta growth. The good news with anthracnose is that it won’t kill the plant, but treating it can be tricky. To rid your garden of this fungus could involve a multi-step approach, particularly if the fungus goes unnoticed for some time. I would begin by removing the affected plant and any fungal growth noticeable on the mulch or ground surrounding it. Then, contact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension office. The extension office has at
its disposal a number of resources, including a team of Master Gardeners who can assist with identifying the problem and recommending specific resources for further assistance.
Happy Gardening!

DID YOU KNOW?
Outdoor exercise can benefit both the planet and the people doing the exercising. By exercising outdoors instead of at home or at indoor fitness centers, men and women can reduce their carbon footprints. Exercising in the great outdoors does not require the use of energy-consuming fitness machines. In addition, when exercising outdoors during daylight hours, nature provides all the light men and women will need for their workouts, further reducing the average person’s energy consumption. And it’s not just adults who can benefit from spending more time outdoors. According to the Harvard Medical School, children are likely to get more exercise if they spend time outdoors than they are if they spend time indoors. A study from researchers in England used GPS devices and accelerometers to track the activity of 1,000 children. The children were more than twice as active when they were outside than they were when they were in inside. When children spend ample time outdoors, that, too, can benefit the environment. According to the National Institutes of Health, the average youngster spends three hours per day watching television and gets as much as seven hours of screen time each day. When kids are outdoors, they are less likely to be staring at energy-consuming screens and devices than they are when they’re indoors.
