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.

PAW’S CORNER

Quelling a cat’s separation anxiety

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Here’s a weird one. I went away on a business trip for three weeks, leaving my 9-year-old cat “Jenks” with a friend. Since I’ve returned, Jenks will not leave my side. He clambers onto my lap while I have Zoom meetings; he follows me to and fro around the house; and he insists on sleeping on the bed at night. He also meows loudly if he can’t see me. is is a new behavior for him. What’s going on? -- Claudio G. in Brooklyn

DEAR CLAUDIO: Jenks may have separation anxiety. Even though he never exhibited these behaviors before while you were away, it’s possible for a cat to develop this issue with no clear triggers.

Monitor his behavior patterns closely for a few days. In addition to meowing loudly when you’re out of sight, is he grooming his coat more than usual? Is he doing anything destructive like clawing up a new piece of furniture? Have his eating habits changed -- eating too little or gulping his food? ese can also be signs of anxiety.

Try the following and note if his behaviors lessen or normalize:

-- Don’t make a big production out of leaving the house or coming home. Extra affection may make him more anxious.

-- Leave the TV, radio or speaker on while you’re away, playing a program or music.

-- Set up a cat perch near the window so he can watch the world.

-- Create a den or nook where he can rest, safe and cozy.

If the behavior doesn’t improve, or it worsens, contact the veterinarian. ey will recommend an exam to rule out any illnesses. ey’ll offer advice on additional ways to help calm Jenks, and if necessary, will prescribe medication to reduce his anxiety.

Send your comments or to scribe medication to reduce his anxiety.

The Power of a Thoughtful Independent Grassroots Movement

Lawn Mowing Hours

I’m so thankful for the over 900 volunteers who worked tirelessly for months to plan and pull-off the collection of well over 135,000 signatures to secure a place for an Independent presidential candidate on New York State’s 2024 ballot. What a recordbreaking accomplishment! I’m equally grateful for the quiet support that candidate has from tens of thousands of New Yorkers who wish for a better life for ALL Americans. This is happening all over our country. Thank you for all the Love, Light, Peace, Cooperation and Civility so many carry in their hearts and words.

Honor and remembrance ceremony.

Huge thank you to the Conlan-Mulvaney American Legion Post for their holding the flag presentation for Ssgt. Stephen J Wilson KIA in Iraq. Thanks Legion commander and members.

Before you see, smell, or taste the arrival of summer—you’ll hear it by the sound of lawn mowers. I’m so over the perpetual, neverending lawn mowing in my area—at all hours day and night and often up to three or four times a week! But it’s not just the frequency that gets to me, even though mowing your lawn that often is truly terrible for the environment. Rather, it’s the time of day people choose to mow their lawns, with no regard for quiet hours in the early morning or late evening. I’ve heard multiple neighbors’ lawn mowers running as early as 7am and as late as 9pm this week. What is up with that? Friends, please be considerate of the noise and choose to mow your lawns during reasonable hours. And maybe think twice about how often you need to mow them—one or twice a week is really quite enough.

Please Be Respectful!

Caledonia Trout Fest Fun

What a wonderful time for all ages at the Caledonia Trout Festival on June 1st! Many, many thanks to all of the members of the Trout Festival Planning Committee and Big Springs Museum for the time and effort it takes to plan a community-wide event that brings together an entire community while opening it up and welcoming visitors from all over. Well done!

To people who walk their dogs in our local cemeteries, please STOP! It is disgusting and disrespectful to allow your dog to urinate and defecate on or near a grave. Our loved ones and all those interred deserve respect and honor. A cemetery is a place where families and friends should be able to reflect on and pay tribute to the lives of those buried there, free from dog excrement. Also, to all those who visit our cemeteries, please do not discard drink containers, cigarette butts and food wrappers on the grounds. Those interred deserve our utmost honor and respect.

Q&A Master Gardeners

My maple tree (approx. 50 ft. high, 2 ft. around) has roots coming out of the ground (approx. 50 ft. from the house). What can I do? I want to keep it.

Maple trees can sometimes have shallow root systems that are prone to being at or just above the surface. This can be influenced by various factors, including soil conditions and the tree’s environment. In cases where the tree is healthy and the

exposed roots are not causing any immediate issues, it may be sufficient to avoid damaging those roots and be mindful of activities around the tree that couldharmthem.

One approach to protect the exposed roots is to use a stone mulch. Stone mulch can create a barrier that helps retain moisture and shields the roots from physical damage. It allows

for proper airflow and water exchange, ensuring the tree’s health. When using stone mulch, it is important to choose the appropriate size and type of stones to avoid impeding water penetrationorlimitingairflow.

However, it is always recommended to consult with a professionalarboristtoassessthe tree’s health and determine the best course of action. They can

provide specific advice tailored to your situation and ensure the long-term well-being of your maple tree. By taking these precautions and seeking expert guidance, you can maintain a healthy and thriving maple tree withshallowroots.

THE DANGERS OF BELLY FAT

What’s so bad about belly fat? Seeing belly fat as a merely cosmetic concern overlooks the effects it has on overall health.According to the Mayo Clinic, belly fat is not limited to the extra layer of padding just below the skin known as subcutaneous fat. Belly fat also includes visceral fat,which means it extends to deep inside the abdomen and surrounds internal organs. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat in the belly is very close to the liver, which can turn it into cholesterol. From there, the fat goes through the bloodstream and may collect along the walls of the arteries, potentially contributing to a hardening and narrowing of the arteries known as atherosclerosis. The complications of atherosclerosis depends on which arteries are affected, but they can include an assortment of diseases that affect the arteries and a greater risk for aneurysms and chronic kidney disease.

Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat is just as harmful for the heart as high blood pressure and smoking. So while efforts to reduce belly fat may initially be embraced to improve appearance, individuals should know that reducing fat in their midsections also can reduce their risk for a host of conditions, some of which are deadly.

Narrowing Down the Main Cause Behind Insulin Resistance

DEAR DR. ROACH: What is the main cause for insulin resistance? I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about five years ago. I’ve maintained a consistent weight under 200 pounds, and I’m only 5 feet, 9 inches tall. I was able to get my A1C level down to 7.2% last summer, but in late fall, my numbers started spiking, even with insulin. I now find myself injecting crazy amounts of insulin just to maintain normal glucose levels.

I’m on a diet of 40 grams of carbohydrates a day. I walk close to 20,000 steps a day. But on a regular day, I inject 30-40 units of mealtime insulin before eating a low-carb, high-protein meal. Still, my level spikes above 250 mg/dL, and it stays there for a few hours.

-- A.R.N.

ANSWER: Insulin is a signal that there is plenty of sugar in the body, and the body uses insulin to take sugar out of the blood into cells. Normally, just a little insulin will make blood sugar levels go down a lot. When it takes a lot of insulin to lower blood sugar levels, we say that there is insulin resistance. A great deal of work has been done in trying to elicit why people develop resistance to insulin. There are some rare congenital cases involving mutations of the insulin receptor. There are rarely acquired immune-mediated causes that have antibodies to insulin or the insulin receptor. These antibodies have an extremely high resistance to insulin. However, most cases of insulin resistance are associated with obesity. Your BMI is 29.5, suggesting that you’re overweight but not obese. In this case, abdominal fat is more metabolically important, since it can lead to free fatty acids and compounds called adipocytokines, which may contribute to insulin resistance. People with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance often have abnormal cholesterol levels and high blood pressures, a combination called “metabolic syndrome.” Blood pressure and cholesterol must often be treated separately.

Insulin works to lower blood sugar, but there are four main hormones that oppose insulin and raise blood sugar: cortisol, catecholamines, glucagon and growth hormone. Elevated levels of any of these hormones will cause insulin resistance. I know this isn’t your case, but the pregnancy hormone human placental lactogen causes insulin resistance and is the proximate cause for gestational diabetes.

Some medicines (steroids, birth control pills, and HIV medicines) can cause insulin resistance. Critically, glucose itself can cause insulin resistance! High blood sugar levels prevent insulin release as well. This is why getting and keeping a normal blood sugar level is so critically important, especially when a person is first diagnosed. Management of a person with high amounts of insulin resistance can be challenging. You are already doing amazingly well with exercise, and it sounds as though your diet is of the type that is commonly recommended. Medications that reduce insulin levels -- such as metformin, GLP-1 agonists and thiazolidinediones -- are often recommended to reduce the amount of insulin used. Your situation is not common, and you should absolutely be in the hands of an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes.

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Wilted grass: Many things can cause grass to wilt over the course of winter, so homeowners may have to put on their sleuth’s cap to determine why grass that was healthy as recently as late fall is now wilted as the spring bloom begins. Grass that’s adjacent to walkways and driveways might have wilted due to the application of deicing solutions. Such products can prevent the formation of ice on driveways and walkways. However, when they’re tracked onto the grass by people or animals or blown there by winter winds, grass can wilt. A deep watering in spring can flush any lingering solution from the lawn. In future winters, homeowners can be as careful as possible when applying de-icing solutions, making a concerted effort to avoid spreading any onto the grass and limited applications to areas of the driveway and walkways that are not close to the grass.

Serves 10 to 12

Amaretti Base

5 ounces amaretti

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

5 tablespoons sugar

Cardamom Truffle Filling

2 1/3 cups heavy cream

4 to 6 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised to open them

25 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), grated

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed

4 tablespoons chocolate liqueur

Cardamom Cocoa Sugar

3 green cardamom pods

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 10-inch cake pan with a removable base, base and sides lined with nonstick parchment paper

To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes - this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.

To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.

Here’s A Tip

* “Use a bandanna to strain coffee if you’ve accidentally had a filter bust. It works. I first used this tip when camping, but I have used it at home, too. e coffee goes through it faster than a paper filter, which is fine when it’s already brewed, since you lose less heat.” -- T.R. in Arkansas

* Recycling notes: Cardboard that’s greasy or food-caked is just not recyclable. It’s trash. On the plus side, your glass jars don’t have to be perfectly clean, nor your cans crushed, in order to take them to the recycling center or drop curbside if your community has a plan in place.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN TRAVELING ALONE

Learn key phrases. Many foreign countries have a bevy of English speakers, but it’s always wise to learn important phrases in the native tongue so that you can communicate. These should include “I need help.” “Do you speak English?” “Where is the telephone?” and even “I need the American/Canadian Embassy or Consulate.”

STATISTICS SHOW JUST HOW BIG SMALL BUSINESS IS

The U.S. Small Business Administration notes that small businesses make up 99.7 percent of all employers in the United States. Percentages are similar in Canada, where BDC, a bank devoted exclusively to entrepreneurs, notes that 99.8 percent of businesses employ fewer than 499 workers.

* A newly sworn-in Barack Obama visited the U.K. in 2009 and presented some rather curious gifts to the prime minister and queen: 25 DVDs to David Cameron, and an iPod Classic to the then-octogenarian Elizabeth II. Cameron returned the gesture with some “wellies” and Hobgoblin ale.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Individuals who take great strides to conserve resources by reducing their energy consumption and protecting the environment often find that shopping local is beneficial. Local vendors are more likely to source their materials from other local businesses, reducing their carbon footprints along the way. For example, local caterers may rely on local farmers for their foods, affording couples the chance to host eco-friendly or even farm-to-table weddings.

Bringing Hope to Women One Table at a Time: Home Start Hope Supports Women and Children in their Transition from Homelessness to Independent Living

BY TRISH PINO

According to the U.S Census Bureau, nearly half of all children in Rochester live in poverty. is staggering number is the second highest in the nation among mid-to-large cities, and emergency shelters are bursting as homelessness continues to rise in Monroe County.

While there are many reasons a family may end up in this situation, domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness among women. Emergency shelters throughout the area provide temporary housing, assistance, and support, but women who leave those facilities o en lack the items necessary to move into their own homes.

at’s where Home Start Hope comes in. Since its inception in 2010, the organization gives women essentials they need through a personal shopping experience. e women referred to Home Start Hope shop in the Rochester store, selecting everything they need to start over in their new home for free, including essentials such as towels, bedding, pots and pans, dishes, baking supplies, laundry baskets, shower curtains, and much more.

While picking out home essentials may seem simple, for women starting over, it’s so much more than that. e entire process is designed to empower women by giving them a sense of ownership while restoring confidence, giving them and their children hope for a brighter future. It has a transformative effect on families starting anew and helps build a community where more women can thrive.

President and CEO Kristin Mathis says, “Our story begins with the women. ey are from different backgrounds, all different ages and races, but all of them have dealt with some pretty traumatic experiences. We believe women deserve the chance to rebuild their lives regardless of how they got to where they are. We lead without judgement to provide the support they so desperately need.”

is year alone, Home Start Hope has helped more than 160 women and over 200 children get the support they need to live on their own.

In 2023, they launched a new program called Hope Furnished, to provide new and gently used furnishings to the communityofwomenandchildrentheyhelp. isnewprogram

home furnishings and household supplies to women in need. Core to its mission, the new program helps further fill the need of basics that women don’t typically have when getting back on their feet, such as beds to sleep in, dressers to store clothes in, tables and chairs to share a meal around, or sofas to sit with their family on. ese and other items help make a house a home and create a personalized experience for each of the families the organization works with.

To get involved with Home Start Hope, whether volunteering to shop with the women, participating in Tablescapes, or donatingmoneyorfurniture,yourcontributiongoesalongway! YourdonationensuresHomeStartHopecancontinuetoprovide this life-changing experience for more women and children. Contact Kristin Mathis to help! mathis@homestarthope.org

STORIES

Lemons are cool

Lemons arrived in e New World in 1493, when Christopher ColUmbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola. The Spanish conquest spread em roughout e New World for ornamental, culinary, and medicinal use.

Did you know that lemons are actively used in science experiments? When electrodes are attached to them, they can be used as batteries to produce electricity. They can also be used as invisible ink.

Fun Facts

Lemons were grown in pre-modern California by 1751 and in Florida in e 1800s, for cooking and more sophisticated flavoring. Each line across and down should have one of each fruit.

One lemon tree can produce up to 600 lbs of lemons every year. The high acidity of lemon makes it a good cleaning aid for removing stains. California and Arizona produce most of the United States’ lemons.

Balance engagement with patience: NFIB® recommends that business owners tone down their sales efforts without coming off as disengaged.

But keep in mind that many people attend festivals and marketplaces to browse, so give them space after welcoming them to the booth.

DID YOU KNOW?

Firms on the lookout for ways to manage employees’ time more efficiently may want to reconsider their approach to meetings. A recent study on meetings commissioned by Verizon Conferencing found that an overwhelming majority of professionals who are considered heavy meeting-goers admitted to an array of behaviors that suggest meetings aren’t as productive as employers may believe. Ninety-six percent of respondents admitted to having missed meetings in the past, while 91 percent acknowledged daydreaming during meetings. In addition, 73 percent of respondents did other work during a meeting, while 39 percent acknowledged falling asleep.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW

Consider design

Design your résumé so it will look good whether it’s viewed on a screen or a mobile phone or printed on paper. Classic serif style fonts can make a résumé seem dated, so select modern fonts that are crisp. The idea is for the résumé to look balanced and clear, without being overdone with modifications, like italics and bold lettering. However, a spot of color could provide much-needed attention.
