Refresh Your Home for Spring Reorganize cluttered areas
If a room (or rooms) in your house are in disarray, start by reorganizing those often-used spaces to give them a like-new look and feel. Begin by removing everything from the room - including the furniture, if you’re ableand separate your belongings into boxes or piles based on what you plan to put back in the room, move to another location and throw away or donate. Once you’ve cleaned the space, resituate the necessary furniture then place items you’re keeping back in their places in tidy fashion so they’re easy to locate.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, people with a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s disease are morelikelytodevelopthediseasethan those who do not have a first-degree relative with Alzheimer’s. In addition, those who have more than one firstdegree relative with Alzheimer’s are at an even greater risk of getting Alzheimer’s. Though family history is not necessary for an individual to develop Alzheimer’s,the AA notes that researchers have identified hereditary Alzheimer’s genes. For example, researchers estimate that between 40 and 65 percent of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s have the APOE-e4 gene. APOE-e4 is characterized as a risk gene because it increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s but does not guarantee it will happen. The gene is inherited from a parent, and people who inherit two copies of APOE-e4 from their mother and father have a higher risk for Alzheimer’s than those who inherit one copy of the gene from their mother or father. The AA also notes that researchers have found deterministic genes that cause Alzheimer’s. However, these genes are rare and have only been found in a few hundred families across the globe,accounting for 1 percent or less of all Alzheimer’s cases.

MAGGIE COLEMAN’S MISSION TO
CONNECT & EMPOWER
ROCHESTER WOMEN
A Chemical Engineering major at University of Buffalo, Maggie Coleman has been a real estate agent in Rochester for 11 years, making authentic connections and helping people fulfill their dreams. Maggie lives in Irondequoit with her fiancé, Anthony, and their three pups, Odin, Capellini, and JB. She and Anthony love the local food scene and love to dine out. She also loves to travel to Maine and “visit family and eat as many lobster rolls as I possibly can when I am there.” She loves running and walking around her neighborhood, or for a drive, she says she loves Chimney Bluffs.
An avid weightli er for almost 20 years, Maggie found herself paying more and more attention to her cardio workouts post-COVID. She says, “I have found that when I do more cardio-based activities, I feel better.” For the past year, she has tuned in more to tracking her step count and making sure she gets her body not only li ing but moving as a whole.
She also recognized a need in the Rochester community for groups with no cost and low stakes for women to get together socially, be
each month, with other outings sprinkled in. Walks typically range around three miles in a little over an hour, usually with at least one weeknight walk and a Saturday morning walk or two. Forthcoming will be longer weekend walks for those interested. Women come together to network, get fresh air, and get their steps in as they explore beautiful parks, trails, and communities around Rochester.
“Rochester is so big, so we strive to have different walking locations every time,” Maggie explains, adding that choosing locations across the community also helps “ensure we can reach the people of our community wherever they are.”
Joining RocGirlWalks means gaining a supportive community, improving your fitness by getting in steps, boosting self-confidence,
“When women support each other, incredible things happen.”
and making new friends. Maggie says, “It’s an opportunity to be part of something so special while enhancing your overall well-being.”
Maggie says she’d love to continue to grow this amazing group, and she has set her sights on starting a podcast meeting with local businesswomen and sharing their stories with the Rochester community. She says, “I think there is a huge need to share more positivity in the community and I would love to continue to grow and do just that.”
Maggie says her top two favorite locations RocGirlWalks has visited so far are Turning Point Park and Durand Eastman Beach. She says, “Both have amazing trails that bring you by water and woods, and both of them were so beautiful!” Maggie looks forward to RocGirlWalks’ first autumn for walks. “Not only is it the best time of year, but the beauty of the leaves changing color and the smell of the crisp air – It is unbeatable!”
A big reason some women join walking clubs is for safety in groups, Maggie admits, and safety is paramount to RocGirlWalks. eir walk location changes with each meetup, with only a general area noted publicly, and members must be on Maggie’s email list to learn the exact meetup location. She helps reduce walker anxiety and increase safety by sending out detailed information on precise location and route (though once you arrive, it’s hard to miss the mass of women ready to welcome you, as I discovered when I met them), as well as parking and restroom facilities available at the particular meetup location.
Maggie Coleman’s story is a testament to the power of community, the joy of fitness, and the impact one person can have when they see a need and take action. Whether she’s helping someone find their dream home or leading a group of women on a walk through Rochester’s scenic trails, Maggie embodies a spirit of positivity, support, and genuine connection. RocGirlWalks is more than just a walking club; it’s a movement that brings women together, fostering friendships, promoting wellness, and empowering each member to thrive.

TRICKS TO KEEP FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS
FRESH
Make fresh cuts in stems: Think back to the last time you purchased a fresh Christmas tree. What is the key to ensuring it gets enough water while on display? You guessed it: making a fresh cut in the trunk of the tree. The same concept applies to floral arrangements. Use a sharp scissor or pruning shears to cut about one inch from the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. Continue this process every three days or so. The 45-degree angle prevents the stem from squishing during the cut and enables it to absorb more water.

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE
In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year.
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas all recorded around a 5 percent increase in international arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequent travelers or those who have never traveled may not understand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.
Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.
OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT ESSENTIALS
Seating: Folding camp chairs are portable and can be stored for guests who prefer being off the ground for movie nights. Otherwise, thick, waterproof blankets enable guests to spread out while watching movies outdoors. They’re also great for kids who are liable to spend a portion of the time watching the movie, but much of it running around the yard.
Puzzle Answers This Week
Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

August 3, 2024 is National Disc Golf Day!
The 1920s are the earliest known games, allegedly. A group of children at Bladworth Elementary School in Saskatchewan, Canada are reportedly the first ones to play a version of disc golf. In 1965 George Sappenfield is on break from Fresno State University and working as a recreation counselor when an idea hits him as he plays golf — he wonders if the kids in his playground would like to play golf with Frisbees, and he is right. The First O cial Disc Golf Course was built in 1975. American toy inventor Ed Headrick installs the first o cial course at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California — the targets are simply permanent poles. Disc Golf gains mainstream attention in 2015. Disc golf appears on ESPN's Top 10 Plays on SportsCenter, taking this sport into mainstream media, too.

We all try to remember to brush and floss just before a dental appointment, in addition to bringing any current dental gear like a retainer or mouthguard. There are other ways you can prepare to make the exam more comfortable. Alcoholic beverages and painkillers should be avoided before the exam. These can diminish things like discomfort or pain that may need further investigation. Avoid items like makeup, jewelry, and hair implements that may be lost, damaged, or hinder your dental team. On the other hand, comfortable clothing and layers can help put you at ease. Your dentist may allow personal items like a blanket, stuffy, or fidget toy that can help lower anxiety about your appointment.
To keep your teeth and to keep them strong, be sure to keep your dental appointments for regular checkups.
Remember that nothing is more economical than regular, professional visits to the dentist to help guard against any problems that may threaten your smile. If you have questions about caring for your teeth and gums and achieving optimum dental health, please feel free to call us at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 585.343.4246. Our full-service, state-of-the-art office is located at 6 Batavia City Centre, where we have office hours by appointment.
P.S. Preparing for a dental exam includes restocking any prescriptions or over-the-counter painkillers you may need afterward.

High Creatinine and GFR Levels
Signify Severe Kidney Damage
DEAR DR. ROACH: Last summer, a city policeman came to my door. My doctor had been unable to contact me with the results of a recent blood test and called the police. The policeman handed me a card with the results written on it. My creatinine level was 4.1, and my glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 14. He said the numbers indicated that my kidneys were failing and that I should go to the emergency room immediately. Except for swelling in one ankle, I had no symptoms.
During a day and a half in the hospital, I lost 14 pounds of fluid after the insertion of a catheter. Within two weeks, my creatinine level was measured at 2.1. After a few months of wearing the catheter, my prostate was “trimmed back” (my words, not the doctor’s) using a procedure called a “TURP.” I am back to normal.
What is a TURP, and how routine is it? Are there any long-term negative effects? How close did I come to kidney failure? -- T.J.R.
ANSWER: Your problem was obstruction of urine flow due to an enlarged prostate. The urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) goes right through the middle of the prostate, and an enlarged prostate can block flow partially or completely. This is a very common problem. Sometimes the urine flow stops entirely, but this doesn’t have to happen in order for kidney damage to occur. It’s the increased pressure in the bladder that causes damage. Creatinine is an end product of protein metabolism, and since it is removed by the kidney, it’s a good indicator of kidney function. The higher the creatinine level, the worse the kidney function. The creatinine level (along with age and sex) are used to estimate the GFR, a direct statement of a person’s kidney function.
A (stable) GFR of less than 15 is considered stage 5 kidney failure, which usually means that dialysis will be necessary to preserve life.
Note that creatinine itself isn’t the problem; it’s a marker for the fact that the kidney can’t remove all the other waste products, which will then build up and make a person very ill.
When a person with urinary obstruction develops a creatinine level over 6, it’s likely that they will have permanent kidney damage, but I have seen people with higher levels recover and some with lower levels experience permanent kidney function loss. My guess is that you were only a few days away from having permanent damage.
A trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a traditional treatment for an enlarged prostate. Although newer treatments are often used in situations where there is plenty of time to spare, a TURP is a routine treatment for the type of obstruction you had. There are possible long-term side effects from a TURP, such as erectile dysfunction, but those are usually noticed immediately after surgery and often get better over time.
Finally, a plea: Make sure that your doctor has your up-to-date contact information, including your emergency contacts. We physicians are very grateful to have the police available for emergencies, but would rather not have to use them. I try to remind my resident physicians to be sure that we have a working contact number any time we order a test, but it’s best if both the patient and physician have it on their lists. Even routine tests can occasionally come back with critical results.

PREVENT DIY INJURIES
Safety goggles and glasses are a must-have for any do-it-yourselfer. They will provide a barrier between the eye and flying debris. According to VisionWeb, an eye education resource, most of the 110,000 eye injuries that occur each year in homes within the United States result from splashes with household cleaners, flying debris such as wood chips, or getting hit by branches. Many of these injuries can be prevented by wearing eye protection.

Smart watering conserves water and saves money
Start early. Homeowners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that’s the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temperatures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That’s because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat. Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evaporate may feel they need to water more, and that only wastes water. It’s best to consult a local landscaping professional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when temperatures are generally lower, the sun is not at its peak and winds are not as strong.
Although high-efficiency dishwashers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be preferable to double sinks, especially for homeowners who use lots of kitchen tools when preparing meals.

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS
Do your research. Chances are business owners can find a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month. Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars, while others might be more toned down affairs that occur each week. Business owners can research local festivals, paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them. Community turnout is another significant factor to consider. Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their businesses and what they’re hoping to accomplish.

Retail credit cards: Many retailers offer their own credit cards. Consumers may be enticed to sign up for such cards by the opportunity for instant, and often significant, savings. For example, a home improvement store may offer an immediate 25 percent discount to customers who sign up for a store credit card and use the card to make a purchase. As enticing as such savings can be, consumers should recognize that a recent study by CreditCards.com found that the average retail credit card APR is 25.9 percent. That’s more than 6 percent higher than a general purpose credit card. Consumers who cannot pay balances in full each month could end up paying much more in interest if they use retail credit cards instead of general purpose cards.

So many people start not feeling good and automatically assume and tell others oh it's only a cold. Or it's only allergies. Many hear those words all the time. You don't know that for sure because Covid symptoms presents as a cold or allergies in some. Please respect others and test yourself as not to spread it to others. It only takes a few minutes. Some people really trying to protect themselves can get very sick. Please be responsible. One can easily spread it to six or seven people, and those six or seven people can spread it to another six or seven people, and so on. Some people can still pass away from Covid if they're sick enough.
Stop the Stink
Cigarette smokers, please don’t stand near entrances to stores or businesses. The smoke is carcinogenic and the wind carries it. And please don’t toss the butts on the ground and walk away. Smoke in your vehicle or your own home. Tossing them out your windows is disgusting, plus it’s littering.
What Expecting Parents Can Do To Make Their Homes Safer
• Conceal cables and cords. Cable and cord concealers are inexpensive and easily installed. Often used to cover cords hanging down from mounted televisions, concealers also can be used to hide cords coming from computers, lamps and other items that can pose a threat to young children.
• Avoid hand-me-down kids’ furniture. The older a piece of furniture is, the less likely it is that the item will meet current safety guidelines. Some parents may be tempted to let their children sleep in the same crib they slept in as kids decades ago, but it’s safer to eschew nostalgia in favor of products that meet the latest safety standards.
• Get rid of potential choking hazards. Prior to bringing their babies home, expecting parents can remove all small trinkets and other items that curious children may want to put in their mouths. When buying toys for kids, read the packaging to make sure each item is safe for babies and avoid buying or accepting any gifts with small pieces.
• Store all medicines on high shelves behind cabinet doors. Vitamins and medicines should be stored on high shelves behind cabinet doors. If kids can see them, they’ll likely try to grab them. Hiding medicines on high shelves behind closed cabinet doors reduces the risk that kids will be poisoned and suffer a fallrelated injury.

* "If you pull all the way into your garage, tack some carpet scraps to the wall that you pull in toward. It will protect the wall's paint, and it will protect your car's bumper if you accidentally rub the wall." -- U.F. in North Carolina
* Stop runs in hose or tights by painting the bottom of the run with clear nail polish. Let dry and repeat. Do this while wearing them, and gently unstick from the skin. It works better when they are stretched as they will be worn, and you don't risk attaching it to the other side of the tights.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
Smartphones: A 2015 CareerBuilder survey of hiring and human resources managers from various industries found that employers cited smartphones and texting as the biggest productivity killers in the workplace. Professionals no doubt recognize how distracting their phones can be during the workday, and they may feel powerless to avoid them. But they’re not. Alter notification settings so the phone only delivers the most important notifications (i.e., children’s schools, meeting reminders, etc.) during the day.Turn off notifications from news, sports and entertainment apps.

HOW BUSINESSES CAN EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYEES
Cater meals when possible. Employers recognize the key seasons of the year that are crunch times for their particular businesses. Employees may have to work harder or put in longer hours during this time. Set aside one day a week to have lunch or dinner catered for the team.
HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING
LOCAL WEDDING
VENDORS:
Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols, and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.
