PAW’S CORNER

Home Renovations and Pets Just Don’t Mix

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a contractor coming soon to renovate our kitchen. I plan to keep my cat, “Freya,” out of the way and in a separate room during the day. But at night, she’ll want to wander the house. How do I keep her out of the kitchen? -- Jim in Portland, Maine

DEAR JIM: Cats are pretty wily, and I’m sure Freya will try to find a way around any barriers you set up to keep her out of the kitchen.

e best way to dissuade her from exploring the construction area, therefore, is to tempt her away with better distractions. at means moving her food and water to a new location far from the construction area (but out of heavy foot traffic) and giving her treats and attention whenever she opts to stay in the living room with you or near her bedding and food.

At night, tighten the barriers around the kitchen -- if there’s a door, close it. If there is plastic sheeting up, tack it to surrounding walls and tape it to the floor. Put a sheet of plywood across the entrance if necessary.

Inside the work area, make sure that the contractors put away all sharp tools and cover any containers tightly. ey should clean up any debris at the end of each day and use a wet-dry vacuum to pick up sawdust and dirt. Any spills need to be cleaned completely. is will reduce the risk to Freya if she manages to get into the kitchen, and it’s just good practice.

Readers, how did you keep your pets safe during home renovations? Tell me at ask@pawscorner.com.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Car buyers may find some great deals by using offered rebates. Rebates can take place at any time of the year. Dealers typically use rebates in order to clear out a particular model year. Rebates may also be offered through the manufacturer. Dealerships may sell a vehicle for less when certain incentives are applied. Shoppers can rely on Edmunds. com to search for rebates and incentives by vehicle make and geographic location.

DID YOU KNOW?

The American Association of Poison Control Centers says that fatal and nonfatal poisonings overwhelmingly occur among adults. This is largely attributed to the opioid epidemic in the United States and overdoses linked to prescription medications. The National Safety Council says more than 90 percent of nonfatal poisonings and 99 percent of fatalities attributed to poisonings occur in adults older than 19.The NSC says that, in 2019, the most recent year for data, there were 65,773 preventable poisoning deaths in the United States.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD

What is PTSD? - The American Psychiatric Association defines PTSD as “a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event.” Some examples of events that can lead to PTSD include war/combat,a terrorist attack,rape, or incidents in which people have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. PTSD also can occur after witnessing traumatic events, including natural disasters or serious accidents.

SAFE FOOD PREPARATION

Cook - A food thermometer is a person’s best asset against foodborne illnesses. Always cook food to the recommended internal minimum temperature, which can help kill any pathogens in the food.Rather than judging doneness by sight alone,use a thermometer to prove that the food is thoroughly cooked. In addition, foods that are supposed to be served hot should remain hot. When serving a buffet, consider using chafing dishes to keep foods at or above 140 F.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Apple Cider Vinegar Is a Surprising Help for Blood in Urine

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I had anal cancer and was treated with chemo and radiation. The radiation burned my insides and severely damaged most of my internal organs. One of the aftereffects was occasional blood and small clots in my urine. A few months ago, both the frequency and amount of blood, especially the clots, increased dramatically. The size and number of the clots got so large that they blocked my urethra. During a visit to my urologist, he looked into my bladder and declared it “angry.” Then he told me the same thing every doctor has told me about every problem caused by my treatment: “It was caused by the radiation, and there is nothing that can be done.”

Shortly after this, I began to take unfiltered apple cider vinegar in hopes that it would improve my digestive problems. It helped a little, but the big difference was that I have not had a single recurrence of either blood or clots in my urine. Can you tell me if this is due to the vinegar or if it is just a coincidence? -- A.G.

ANSWER: No, I can’t definitively tell you whether the vinegar helped. It was probably by chance, but let me explain a little about it.

Rectal cancer is often treated with radiation, or combined chemotherapy and radiation, either prior to or after surgery. The dose of radiation is quite high compared to some other cancers, and the complications can be significant.

In addition to damage to the bowel and bladder, radiation treatment can damage the bones and bone marrow, leading to poor blood-cell production, infertility, premature menopause, and more cancer years later. On the other hand, radiation is used when it is expected to improve the cure rate of cancer. Still, the side effects can be challenging.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding from the bladder) can be caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It may start within a few months or as long as 20 years after radiation.

I am surprised your urologist did not offer any treatments, as there are certainly ones available. Although none of the currently available systemic drugs are proven to be very effective, hyperbaric oxygen is one treatment that is, at least, moderately effective. Medicines placed into the bladder and laser bladder treatments are sometimes tried as well.

I was unable to find any study that evaluated the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar. I am skeptical, but reports like yours of apparent improvement associated with its use might convince a researcher to conduct a study to determine whether it really is effective.

Here’s a Tip

* Need to save money grocery shopping? Studies show that if you shop when the store is least busy, you’ll make smarter decisions. Try shopping at off-peak hours, such as later in the evening or early in the morning. Or try your store on Wednesday, traditionally the least busy day of the week.

* “I was making cookies last week and needed to roll out the dough. I couldn’t find my rolling pin anywhere. In a pinch, I pulled a bottle of wine off my wine rack and wrapped it tightly in plastic. It did the trick. I’m thinking I might just save the next empty bottle and clean the label off of it to use. I can store it right there in my rack!” -- O.V. in Oregon

* Add shredded veggies to tomato sauce to up the veggie quotient. Many vegetables can be added without adding many calories and will not change the taste that much. Try carrots, squash or sweet potatoes. You can even add a tablespoon or two of canned, pureed pumpkin.

Hocus Focus

BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

According to the Home Safety Council, one in five consumers will need medical attention this year as a result of home improvement projects. A 2013 survey by 3M TEKK Protection and the National Safety Council found that more than one-quarter of DIY home improvement projects ended with injuries to homeowners or someone else in the household. Falls from ladders, cuts from power tools and injuries from thrown debris account for many emergency room visits. Accidents involving chemicals and cleaning agents also can occur. Safety should be the utmost priority when renovating, and that means utilizing appropriate safety equipment.

Examples include the

These problems also can impact the cost of the project, so set aside some money in the budget for unforeseen expenses. Chances are you are going to need some extra money to handle a few surprises during the project.

RESTORE RUSTY TOOLS

Many people may be tempted to discard rusty tools that have gone unused and sat in a garage or shed for a significant period of time. But tools encrusted with rust do not need to be relegated to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have to toil for hours scraping and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar. Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part of the tool. Soak the tool overnight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water

dry thoroughly. Then return it to

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES

Review the business online. Review Trackers reports that more than 81 percent of consumers are likely to visit Google Reviews prior to visiting a business. That’s a testament to the value of online review aggregators. After a positive experience with a local business, consumers can visit Google Reviews or another online review aggregator like Yelp and share the details of their encounter. Chances are strong the review will be read and compel others to patronize the business.

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.

Traffic circle in [local town]

The traffic circle is annoying. What’s even more frustrating is that people don’t use blinkers when they’re exiting. It causes traffic to back up unnecessarily & makes delays for people to enter the circle. It’s annoying and rude. When you learned to drive, didn’t you learn to use your blinkers?

Garbage filled park

A good deed I want to thank the kind and honest person who found my credit card at the Webster Post Office a few weeks ago and returned it to staff. It just proves that there are good, honest people who do the right thing. I appreciate it very much and thank you.

My husband and I noticed piles of garbage at our local Town Park. We both decided to pick it up, since there is a constant flow of people. We filled 2 garbage bags with shoes, soup containers, broken glass, clothes, coffee cups and doggy poo bags! Nasty!

Delicious Pizza!

Last Friday, I thought I ordered a pizza from a local pizza shop, but the order never made it through. I contacted the restaurant and the person who picked up the phone said that he would give me a free pizza, size large, including a brownie! If more people could be this kind I think that the community would be so much better! Thank you again!

When we brought this to the attention at the Town office across the street, the lady in charge of the parks department said that “The Park is closed but when it’s open they pick up.” When asked if we could throw the trash in their dumpster, she rolled her eyes and called someone else, while laughing at my husband. Pick up after yourselves so that others do not have to- clearly the Town could care less about the safety of others!

Adam Eaton Empowers Artists, Celebrates the Rochester Community through the Rochester Artist Collaborative

BY SUZIE WELLS

Adam Eaton is Founder and Creative Director of Rochester Artist Collaborative. Born and raised in Rochester and Penfield, he uses photography “as a medium to explore the beauty of Black people in Rochester and examines how art and culture shape our definitions and perceptions of beauty, celebrating diversity and the human spirit. I love my hometown and the beautiful people that live in Rochester.”

Eaton says he always felt he was a creative person, but never fully considered himself an Artist until he discovered photography in 2019. Having spent many years dealing with depression and anxiety, he remembers when he would do something creative, whether it be singing, painting, or whatever, the creative efforts made him feel better.

In 2019, when a ceramics class he wanted to take through Flower City Arts Center was sold out, Eaton took a chance with a photography course, learning about aperture, ISOs, and techniques to successfully use even an iPhone to capture life. While he started out a little bored photographing sunsets and architecture, when he started taking photos of family and friends, his passion ignited and he started his photography practice.

Around the same time, he says he began connecting with different Rochester Artists, participating for instance in the First Friday events at the Hungerford building, where Artists collaborate, find inspiration, and network. As Eaton developed his own practice, he discovered a common refrain: Rochester Artists did not feel supported, o en did not know where to start or what to do to develop their skills, or how to gain traction with the public.

When he heard a good friend intended to move out of the area because of this lack of support, Eaton coordinated an event at the Rochester Contemporary Arts Center, at which the public could meet the Artist and view her significant collection. e event was a success, with all the Artists’ prints selling out, and more importantly, spreading the word about her and other Artists. Eaton loved coordinating that event and as he le , he says he felt inspired to help other Artists.

Eaton founded Rochester Artist Collaborative to “[support] the Artists and creatives who significantly contribute to our city’s cultural enrichment and economic development.” By providing local Artists with resources and opportunities needed to succeed, the RAC “[empowers] them and [creates] a lasting impact.” With this access, the Rochester Artist Collaborative “celebrates creativity and every Artist is provided the opportunity to flourish.”

Eaton says Rochester is home to thousands of Artists practicing part-time or full-time, with music, painting, photography, different art mediums, and a lot of those people have operated in what he calls “silos,” or small groups, but not really connecting in general. So, with Rochester Artist Collaborative, Eaton aims to connect those silos, so they’re not secret or hidden, so they’re organized, so Artists needing support can find what they need.

Eaton says in his journey developingtheCollaborative, he found Rochester art community staples, such as the Memorial Art Gallery, Flower City Arts Center, and the Contemporary Arts Center. He also raves about the Anderson Arts Building, creative home to 40-50 Artists, many of whom have been there for 20-30 years, and the Artists there offer lots of knowledge and wisdom, he says.

Rochester Artist Collaborative aims to grow its network by connecting more Artists through various events and activities, especiallyduringMay,whichisMemberMonth. isperiodwillfeature numerous events designed to promote Artist members and attract new members and sponsors. Additionally, they seek to engage more deeply with the broader community. According to Eaton, community support is crucial for Artists to thrive and continue their creative work.

Eaton thanks the RAC team for their assistance: Studio Assistant ai Huoang, Office Assistant Amanda Smith, Videographer Rajae Barnes-Wright, and Graphic Designer Austin Palozzi; they are integral in making Rochester Artist Collaborative a success.

In addition to his administrative role at Rochester Artist Collaborative, Eaton is a professional fine art photographer focusing on portrait photography and visual storytelling, for example leading “high-profile campaigns for [Rochester area businesses to cra ] brand narratives that resonate authentically and powerfully.” rough his work, Eaton seeks to foster an inclusive and supportive arts community in Rochester, continually exploring innovative ways to visually express ideas and narratives.

Eaton says, “Rochester is filled with beauty,” and as many Black community members suffer daily racism and discrimination, Eaton uses his “power as an Artist to speak about these issues. rough photography, I can capture how I see the world and allow others to see the beauty I experience daily in my community.” His artistic vision focuses on timeless themes focusing on community, honesty, love, and beauty. He is particularly proud of his solo exhibit, “Black is Beautiful,” at Geva eatre, which he intends to reprise each year to celebrate the beauty of Black people around Rochester.

Q

A Master Gardeners

How do I prepare my soil for planting?

Properly preparing your soil before planting is essential for creating a thriving garden bed. To embark on this journey, begin by meticulously removing any pesky weeds or grass that may have taken root in the area. This will help ensure that your plants have ample space to flourish without any unnecessary competition for nutrients and resources. Once you have cleared the canvas, it’s time to indulge in the art of soil cultivation. Gently till or dig the soil to loosen its texture, allowing for improved aeration and drainage. As you delve into this task, consider adding a touch of magic in the form of organic matter. Compost, a delightful concoction of decayed organic materials, can work wonders for your soil structure and serve

as a nutrient-rich feast for your soon-tobe-planted garden gems. Generously incorporatethispreciousresourceintothe soil, allowing it to weave its enchantment and transform the landscape. Finally, as you put the finishing touches on your soil masterpiece, gently smooth the surface and offer it a refreshing drink of water, quenching its thirst and creating an inviting environment for your seeds or seedlings.

How often should I water my garden? The rhythm of watering your garden is a delicatedance,influencedbyasymphony of factors that harmonize to create the perfect balance. Consider the unique needs of your plants, the composition of your soil, the whims of weather, and the

stage of growth your green companions find themselves in. As you traverse this journey,keep in mind that moderation is key. While providing ample hydration is crucial, drowning your garden in excess water can lead to soggy roots and a lack of oxygen, stifling the potential for growth. Instead, aim for a gentle and nourishing approach. Seek to deliver approximately 1 inch of water per week, a golden rule that provides ample moisture without overwhelming the delicate ecosystem beneath the surface.

Look for this weekly column! Your questions answered by the local Cornell experts.

However, remember that this is merely a guiding principle,and it’s vital to listen to the whispers of your garden. Observe the moisture level of the soil, and let it guide your hand as you adjust your watering routine. Remember, deep and infrequent watering encourages the development of robust root systems, anchoring your plants firmly in the ground and preparing them for a flourishing future.
