STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

* In the 1880s, businessman LaMarcus Thompson was so upset over the temptations presented by saloons and brothels that he decided to clean up what he viewed as one of America’s most immoral places—New York’s Coney Island. To that end he built the country’s ﬁrst roller coaster in a bid to give folks some good, clean fun well away from sleazier pursuits.

The Enchanting Melodies of the Hopeman Memorial Carillon: A July Series at the University of Rochester

BY SUZIE WELLS

Wednesday evenings in July, melodic sounds ﬁll the air around the University of Rochester as carillonneurs perform a captivating blend of classics and contemporary scores. is summer tradition, held at the university’s Hopeman Memorial Carillon atop the Rush Rhees Library, oﬀers a unique auditory experience, inviting the community to enjoy the harmonious bells that resonate across the campus.

e carillon is a chromatically tuned percussion instrument played with a keyboard that controls 50 touch-sensitive bronze bells suspended above the crown of the library, between the top columns of the bell lantern. e Hopeman Carillon is one of only seven carillons in New York State and about 190 in North America, making it a rare and treasured instrument.

July 10 – Jennifer Lory-Moran

Jennifer Lory-Moran has advised the Cornell University Chimes program in Ithaca since 2000. With over 30 years of experience playing the chime there, Jennifer has also performed on carillons at the University of Rochester and Alfred University. Although chimes and carillons both consist of tuned bells, the techniques to play them can vary signiﬁcantly, depending on the playing stand installed.

Jennifer’s journey into carillon music began in 2012, and since the nearest carillon was two hours away, she embraced distance learning with the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium, taking lessons via Skype with a practice keyboard in her living room. Her dedication has led to notable achievements, including winning the Yale University Guild of Carillonneurs arranging contest with her arrangement of “Pure Imagination.”

Her performance this summer will include widely recognizable folk songs, such as “ e Water is Wide,” “Shenandoah,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” as well as Willy Wonka favorites such as “ e Candy Man Can” and “Pure Imagination.”

During her performance, Jennifer will play a selection of pieces including the “Dark Chocolate” movement of Alice Gomez’s well as “Sunrise, Sunset,” a poignant piece reﬂecting on the swi passage of time, notable with her daughter’s recent college graduation.

July 17 – Abby Pan

Abby Pan, a graduate of the Royal Carillon School in Mechelen, Belgium, brings a diverse musical background to her carillon performances. With a degree in English and Physics from Wellesley College and currently pursuing a PhD in Physics at Stanford, Abby’srepertoireisasvariedasheracademicinterests.

Pan

Her performance will include “Memory” from Cats, “One Summer’s Day” from Spirited Away Tchaikovsky’s “Chant d’Automne.” Additionally, she will perform the Civil Rights Movement’s unoﬃcial anthem, “Hymn to Freedom,” Joey Brink’s “American Gothic,” and Alice Gomez’s “Lament and Allelujah,” as well as jazz standards “Summertime” and “Autumn Leaves.”

July 24 – Joseph Min

JosephMin,arecentgraduateoftheRoyalCarillon School, now attends the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation. He plays the carillon at Riverside Church and is a member of the Riverside Ringers handbell group.

Joseph’s performance theme, “In the Wind,” guides listeners on a melodic breeze through the day, with composers and themes scattered throughout the concert as the wind scatters elements around as day progresses. His selections include “Wings of the Morning” from American Gothic, “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto, and “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas. He will also play Joey Brink’s “Eaux Troubles,” inviting the audience to experience the ﬂuidity and dynamics of water through music.

July 31 – Andrea McCrady

Dr. Andrea McCrady, adjunct professor in carillon studies at Carleton University in Ottawa and Dominion Carillonneur at the Peace Tower Carillon, has an extensive background in both carillon music and medicine. Appointed in 2008, she has played the carillon since 1971 and has studied at various prestigious carillon schools in Europe.

Her performance will follow an “On the Move” theme, taking listeners on a journey through diﬀerent modes of transportation. Her program includes “Bicycle Built for Two,” John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s “Yellow Submarine,” Gerry Goﬃn and Carole King’s “ e LocoMotion,” Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again,” and John Denver’s “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane.”

At the conclusion of each recital, attendees may greet the soloist on the library steps. is post-concert meet-and-greet provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with the performers and learn more about the art of carillon playing.

Whether you attend in person or join the live stream, these concerts promise to be a highlight of the summer. roughout the school year, check out the weekly concerts on Sundays at 5pm.

Fresh Spinach Day

Spinach is said to have originated in Persia, and it was later brought to India and China via Nepal in 647 A.D. – known as ‘Persian green’ in China. Spinach was then introduced to Sicily by the Saracens in 827

A.D. It was later brought to Spain by the Arabs in the late 12th century, called ‘the chief of leafy greens.’ It then spread to England and France in the 14th century, known for a while as ‘the Spanish vegetable’ in England. In the U.S., spinach became popular in the 1800s. In the 1930s, there was a boost in spinach consumption due to the fame of Popeye.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, well-designed landscapescansavehomeowners enough energy to make the projectspayforthemselvesinless than eight years. The DOE notes that homeowners’ landscaping strategies should be dictated by the climates in which they live. For example, homeowners who live in hot, arid regions should employ landscapes to shade their homes’ walls, windows and roof, while those who live in cool regions should make sure their landscapes are not blocking the winter sun from reaching their homes’ south-facing windows. TheDOEalsoadvisesthatshading is the most cost-effective way to reduce solar heat gain in a home, noting that well-planned landscapescanreducepreviously unshaded homes’ air conditioning costs by as much as 50 percent. The DOE also notes that, in treeshaded neighborhoods, summer daytime air temperature can be up to six degrees cooler than the air temperature in treeless areas.

EXPLORE WORK WITH CONFIDENCE

(NAPSI)—With unemployment at a 50-year low, companies are eager to draw talent from a diverse pool of job seekers, and organizations have recognized the inherent value in a diverse workforce that includes qualiﬁed employees with disabilities. Yet, for many who rely on Social Security disability beneﬁts for income and Medicare or Medicaid, work seems like a gamble. What most people don’t know is that there are free services and supports available for those who qualify.

Social Security’s Ticket to Work (Ticket) program and other Work Incentives can help take the guesswork out of finding or returning to work. More than 20 Work Incentives are designed to help individuals who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to a disability, transition to the workplace without immediately losing those benefits. Because each person’s circumstances are different, job seekers are encouraged to consult a certified Benefits Counselor, who can help them make informed decisions about employment and benefits.

Through the Ticket program, people ages 18 through 64 who receive SSDI or SSI can receive free job-related services and supports. Whether they work with their state’s Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agency or with authorized service providers called Employment Networks (EN), people can ﬁnd the resources they need to prepare for, ﬁnd and maintain employment.

For individuals such as Shirley, this can mean exploring work with conﬁdence. When Shirley was diagnosed with narcolepsy, her doctors advised her stop working.

“It was distressing to lose that sense of control over my life,” she recalls. “…[and] stressful making ends meet on an SSDI check.”

It took several years to ﬁnd effective treatment, but Shirley was determined to regain her well-being and that feeling of self-determination she had lost. “Narcolepsy is not something that just goes away,” she says. “But I’ve learned to make adjustments… [and] work around the disability.”

Once she felt ready, Shirley attended a job fair where she learned about the Ticket program and connected with an EN. With their help and encouragement, Shirley found work in her State’s General Services Administration, where she helps ensure small businesses are represented on state contracts.

“I’m grateful for the help I received through Ticket to Work,” she reﬂects. “It feels wonderful to have my independence back! I feel like I can rely on myself again.”

To learn more, call the Ticket to Work Help Line at 1-866-968-7842 or 1-866-833-2967 (TTY). Or visit www.choosework.ssa.gov.

Electric motorcycles

With the number of electric motorcycles gaining popularity and getting more powerful, there is a concern for safety from a few points of view.

Thank You York Vet Hospital

A traditional (gas powered) motorcycle must be inspected yearly, licensed, insured and ridden with its headlight on by a rider who has taken and passed a rider’s test and must be wearing a DOT approved helmet and follow the same rules of the road that cars and trucks follow.

Some E-Bikes can go over 40 miles per hour and do not have the same requirements as a traditional motorcycle nor is the rider subject to the same regulations as the traditional motorcycle rider is.

I have observed E-Bikes riding on sidewalks, riding against trafﬁc on roads, passing other vehicles and not safely following the rules of the road. I think E-Bikes are a great form of transportation and look forward to when they are safer for the rider and other vehicles on the road.

The Entitlement of the [local road] Coners

We recently lost our two girls (cats) within a month. One was expected but the other was a shock as one week she was ﬁne and the other not. The care that they received from the staff, especially from Dr. Dan, was amazing. They squeezed us in for appointments and were so compassionate and honest. We are so lucky to have a local place to take our pets. A big thank you for all of those who take care of beloved animals!

Thank you!

I did not ask his name, but I would like to thank the gentleman that returned our shopping cart at Walmart Saturday in the rain. He had to get wetter than necessary waiting as we ﬁnished unpacking it. Thank you with a capital T!

I am struck by the sense of entitlement exhibited by many [local road] residents here, as they use cones and other claim staking devices to commandeer public property for personal use during July festivities.

Fundamentally, a property right is a negative right - the right to exclude others from using an asset. If I were to park my car in your driveway or on your lawn in July or any other time because I feel entitled to do so, I'm sure you would be justiﬁably brusque in informing me of your right to exclude me. (You might even growl "GET OFF MY LAWN.") In contrast, you have no right to exclude me from using an open parking space on the right-ofway of a public highway. Please explain why you think otherwise. And don't whine it's because of the property taxes you pay. I think the lake towns should ban the practice of coning public parking spaces. OR create a database of the public parking spaces and auction them off online as leases to the highest bidders.

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING

Apply lessons learned during the pandemic. A recent Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. government and Eurostat data found that roughly 9.6 million workers in the United States lost their jobs in the ﬁrst three quarters of 2020. That period coincides with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. When forced to confront sudden and unexpected job losses, millions of individuals learned how to get by on less income. Cost-saving measures adopted during the pandemic can be continued or reimplemented, helping individuals to combat higher energy costs and other rising expenses.

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN

Turn off your notifications.According to research from the Business of Apps, the average smartphone user in the United States receives 46 app push notifications each day. The sound of a smartphone notification has become as recognizable as any sound, and the volume of notifications the average users receive in a 24-hour period no doubt contributes heavily to how much time they spend on their phones. Turning off notifications makes it easier to disconnect from devices,and may even make individuals more productive.

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS

Make things easy for customers: Cash was once king at community festivals and marketplaces, but the convenience of plastic and even touch-less payments has long since replaced hard currency as consumers’ preferred method of payment. In fact, a recent study from Visa found that contact-less payment usage in the United States grew by 150 percent between March 2019 and March 2020. Card readers are inexpensive and easy to use. Businesses can still accept cash payments, as accepting both cash and card increases the chances of making more money.

Keep Pets Safe When the Temperatures Climbs!

• Never leave your pet in a hot vehicle, even for a few minutes. ...

• Limit exercise on hot days.

• Walk your pet in the grass if possible, to avoid hot surfaces burning their paws.

• If your pet is outside, make sure they have access to shade and plenty of cool water.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* “Sunburn can be soothed with plain vinegar. For the back, arms or legs, soak a washcloth in room temperature vinegar and lay it on the aﬀected area for 15 minutes, then rinse. For the face, soak a cotton ball and lightly dab on burned areas.” -- I.E. in California

* “Bug bites can be treated with banana peel. Use a small piece of the peel laid white side down over the bite. Secure with a BandAid. Leave on at least 5 minutes. is works especially well for my kids, who seem to think it’s fun.” -- W.S. in Alabama

* “Old farm trick: I keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol mixed with water on my garden cart. If I think I got into some poison ivy, I spray the skin area pretty thoroughly with the alcohol. It’s the oil that spreads the rash, and the alcohol stops it from spreading pretty well.” -- J.J. in Florida

Q&A Master Gardeners with

What plants are best for: full sun, partial, and full shade around the Rochester area?

While this question is almost impossible to answer, as every landscape designer would have differed views, when it comes to selecting plants for different lighting conditions in the Rochester area, native plants are a great choice, following the “Right Plant. Right Place.” principle. Here are some recommendations:

Full Sun: Some native plants that thrive in full sun include Black-eyed Susan, Purple Coneflower, Butterfly Milkweed, and Little Bluestem. These plants are adapted to the local climate and will flourish in areas with direct sunlight.

Partial Shade: For areas with partial shade, consider planting native species like Wild Geranium, Virginia Bluebells, Foamﬂower, and Wild Ginger. These plants can tolerate some shade while still providing beauty and ecological beneﬁts.

Full Shade: In areas with full shade, native plants like Woodland Phlox, Wild Columbine, Wild Bleeding Heart, and Wild Ginger are excellent choices. These plants are adapted to low light conditions and will add color and interest to shady spots.

By selecting native plants that are well-suited to the speciﬁc lighting conditions in your garden,you can create a sustainable and thriving landscape while supporting the local ecosystem.

DID YOU KNOW? A landmark study conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom discovered a notable link between low to moderate alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. According to the Million Women Study, every 10 grams (roughly 0.35 ounces) of alcohol a woman consumed per day was associated with a 12 percent increase in her risk for breast cancer. The Million Women Study focused on various areas of women’s health but included 28,000 women who had breast cancer. In addition, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that more than 100 epidemiologic studies have examined a potential association between alcohol consumption and the risk for breast cancer, consistently ﬁnding that risk for the disease increases as alcohol intake increases.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Getting out and about is a vital component of many seniors’ daily lives, but it’s important that aging men and women recognize how much exercise is healthy for them. The Department of Health & Human Services notes that adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy.That mix should be a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which can include golfing, swimming and even gardening, and muscle strengthening activities like weightlifting that make the muscles work harder than usual.The DHHS recommends adults combine 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week with at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that these guidelines are safe for individuals who are 65 and older, generally fit and have no limiting health conditions. Individuals who do not fit that criteria should consult with their physicians before beginning a new exercise regimen, as it’s possible that they could be putting their health at considerable risk if they attempt to follow guidelines designed for people who are generally fit. It’s also important that healthy seniors avoid overdoing it in regard to exercise.Though the DHHS suggestions are the minimum recommendations,going too far beyond those guidelines without first consulting a physician could increase seniors’ risk for injury, illness or even death.

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).

Teeth whitening is a minimally invasive way to improve your smile, appearance, and self-esteem. Most dental clinics offer two options for professional teeth whitening: an in-office treatment and a take home kit. In-office whitening treatments cost more than professional take-home kits, but they can achieve a higher level of bleaching in just over an hour. For many people, the ease and convenience are worth the extra cost. Alternatively, a dentist can dispense a professional take-home kit, sometimes referred to as “trays and gels.” This option takes one to two weeks to achieve the desired whiteness level. The trays are custom molded to your teeth and the dentist can fine-tune the peroxide concentrations, offering some advantages to over-the-counter whitening kits.

At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL,

improving the look, health, and function of your smile is our primary focus. From cosmetic dentistry to general family dentistry to preventive care, we are dedicated to working with our patients toward the goal of achieving the healthiest, most attractive smiles possible. Are you curious how today’s dental procedures can virtually change your life? We’d be glad to tell you about the many ways we can help make your smile a dazzling one. Just call us at 6 Batavia City Centre,585.343.4246.

P.S. Teeth whitening treatments offered at a dental clinic use higher concentrations of peroxide, allowing them to produce whiter teeth than over-the-counter options.

Makes 4 servings

4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 ounces and 3/4-inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup roasted green chile peppers (see below)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 F for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

To roast chiles: Preheat greased outdoor grill to medium or preheat an oven broiler. Place fresh chiles on outdoor grill or gas stovetop over medium heat or arrange on a baking sheet and place 2 to 3 inches away from heat under broiler. Grill or broil, turning often with tongs, until surfaces of skin are lightly charred and blistered. Immediately place peppers in a paper bag or an airtight container and close tightly. Let peppers cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and remove stems and seeds. Tear into strips or chop as needed according to the recipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Refrigerate peppers for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 6 months.

PROFESSIONAL TOOTH WHITENING AT HOME VERSUS IN-OFFICE

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Man’s Restless Legs Raise up to a Foot in the Air at Night

DEAR DR. ROACH: Do you have any recommendations to stop restless legs at night? My husband has been to many doctors to ﬁnd a cause or a solution to stop them. His legs have raised up as much as a foot in the air at night, constantly jumping and causing many sleepless nights. No one seems to have a solution for him. -- J.O.

ANSWER: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common condition where people have the urge to move their legs. It’s usually worse at night and associated with an unpleasant sensation that is relieved by movement. People with RLS often have involuntary jerking movements of their legs during sleep, unimaginatively called “periodic limb movements of sleep.”

Your husband may have these periodic limb movements without RLS, which is then considered periodic limb movement disorder. Treatment recommendations require an exact diagnosis. I often see his condition misdiagnosed or continue on for years without a diagnosis. The diagnosis is conﬁrmed by a sleep study where the limb movements are recorded and characterized. Once the diagnosis is made, there are a few important considerations:

The first is that this condition often coincides with iron deficiency, which should be looked for and treated, if necessary. (The underlying cause for iron deficiency also needs to be found.) It may take weeks or even months after iron replacement for the leg movements to get better. Prior to medication treatment, a review of any medicines your husband takes is appropriate, as some can cause similar symptoms. Regular exercise, avoidance of caffeine and alcohol, and good sleep (ironically) can all improve symptoms in some people.

If medicine is needed, medications like pregabalin or pramipexole may be the ﬁrst-line treatment, depending on the results of the sleep study and how intermittent the symptoms are. A new therapy called neurostimulation is a drug-free approach that has been shown to be effective. One device, the tonic motor activation, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for RLS and will hopefully be available shortly.

But there are many experts in this condition. He should see a sleep medicine expert.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Set reasonable goals. Much of the difﬁculty men and women experience in regard to ﬁnding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commitments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for projects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should discuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home, parents should avoid taking on too many projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families.

6 FACTS ABOUT WATERMELONS

Watermelons provide cooling, juicy refreshment during the warm days of summer. But while they’re most associated with summer, watermelons can typically be found in grocery stores yearround. Watermelons are members of the cucurbitaceae family, which includes other gourds, such as pumpkin, squash and cucumber. Watermelons can be considered a fruit or a vegetable. In some areas of the world, watermelons are considered a fruit used primarily in snacks and desserts. In Russia, watermelon rind is pickled, while some Asian countries stir-fry or stew watermelons. To quench one’s curiosity about watermelons, the following are six facts about this beloved food, courtesy of The Watermelon Board.

1. Washing watermelons before cutting into them will help prevent the transfer of any dirt or bacteria into the ﬂeshy center.

2. An average 15- to 20-pound watermelon offers 90 6-ounce servings.

3. Watermelons grow in warm climates and are harvested from Florida to Guatemala. Residents of the United States who want to enjoy domestically grown watermelons should look for them in June, July and August.

4. Seedless watermelons contain small, white “seeds.” These are actually seed coats that didn’t fully form. Crossing watermelons that are a diploid plant (having two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) will form a fruit with a triploid seed three sets of chromosomes). It’s the triploid that produces seedless watermelons.

5. Whole watermelons do not necessarily need to be refrigerated. But once cut, any remaining pieces should be refrigerated.

6. Watermelons are 92 percent water, and they’re the perfect carrying case for beverages. Early explorers even used watermelons as canteens.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Look for ways to be more efficient. Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects. Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.
