DID YOU KNOW? When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
Be a lost pet ally
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My brother and I saw a dog that matched the photo of a lost dog on flyers around the neighborhood. We tried calling him, but he ran off. So we told our mom what happened, and she called the number on the flyer. I don’t know if the owners found the dog. We’re wondering if we did the right thing. Why did the dog run away? -- Brian and Sarah in Cincinnati
DEAR BRIAN AND SARAH: You did the right thing by telling your mom so that she could call the owners and tell them where you spotted the lost dog. Don’t feel bad about the dog running away: Lost dogs are o en shy of strangers. Some will not even come when their owners call. But, by telling them the location, the owners have a much better chance of recovering their dog.
Here’s how you can support owners who are searching for a lost pet:
-- Take a photo of a lost pet flyer with your smartphone. You can instantly refer back to it if you see a pet matching the description.
-- Don’t call or chase a dog or cat if you spot it. Contact the owner as soon as possible and give them the location where you spotted the pet.
-- If the pet approaches you calmly, try to keep them in place by petting or giving them treats, until you can put a leash on them and bring them to a safe containment area. Contact the owner or local shelter.
-- If the pet appears to be ill or injured, carefully approach and wrap them in an old blanket before attempting to pick them up.
-- If the pet is being aggressive, contact animal control.

Lemons have been around forever but were first introduced to the New World in 1493 by Christopher Columbus. Since then, lemons became a staple in households, for medicinal uses, and were also seen at one point as a sign of wealth. There is more to a lemon than just the flavor and its acidic properties. Lemon juice is used in herbal remedies, it is a quick fix for many ailments, and is even used for preparing at-home beauty treatments.
How many of each fruit? Whiten clothes
Lemon juice acts as a bleaching agent, so throw your whites into boiling water with a couple of lemon halves.
Remove water spots
Use lemon juice to remove stubborn watermarks from glass doors.

HOW TO ENCOURAGE KIDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR TEETH
Parents of young children know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. Kids have a long history of disliking dental care, which can frustrate parents who know the importance and long-lasting benefits of proper dental hygiene.
While many youngsters may never excitedly run to the bathroom to brush their teeth, parents can try various approaches to get kids to embrace proper dental care.
Start early. Parents should not hesitate to begin cleaning kids’ teeth once the first tooth appears. The earlier dental care is part of a child’s routine, the more likely he or she is to accept it as part of everyday life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a softbristled brush with a small head. Ideally, use a toothbrush designed for infants, brushing teeth once per day at bedtime. The AAPD advises taking kids to visit a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than the child’s first birthday.
Make it a group effort. Young children love to imitate their parents’ actions and behaviors, and moms and dads can use that adoration to their advantage when trying to get kids to brush their teeth. Brush teeth together as a family, making it seem like an enjoyable twice-daily activity. Get down on kids’ level and show them how to brush. If kids are resistant, engage them in conversation while brushing so they don’t even realize they’re cleaning away.
Involve kids in choosing their dental care products. While parents should be mindful of the type of toothbrush their children use, always sticking with products recommended by their child’s pediatric dentist, let youngsters choose their toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids might prefer a particular flavor of toothpaste, and a colorful toothbrush with a favorite film or television character might make kids more enthusiastic and less fussy about brushing.
Compliment kids after positive dental appointments. When pediatric dentist appointments go well, compliment children and express your pride in them for taking dental hygiene as seriously as they do.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My daughter is in her 30s and has been experiencing infertility for several years. She and her husband have been tested, and the issue is her egg quality. She’s had several rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) with no success. At age 19, she was prescribed Accutane for her acne. She had to take a monthly pregnancy test in order to take this medication. I researched this medication at the time and was aware of the depression side effects. I was also aware that if a pregnancy occurred while taking this drug, it would have to be terminated. The situation was not a concern at the time. Now, years later, her fertility doctor says that she has eggs, but they are of poor quality. What is your opinion on this medication affecting fertility? I read that Accutane was banned in 2009. -- C.M.
ANSWER: Isotretoin (Accutane) is the most effective treatment for acne, but it has the potential for serious side effects and can only be given after a thorough review of its risks.
I have to correct two misapprehensions: Although brandname Accutane was discontinued in 2009, generic isotretoin was not banned and still remains an extremely beneficial treatment that is safe when used appropriately. Secondly, there is no obligation while on this medicine to commit to a pregnancy termination.
Great care needs to be taken to prevent pregnancy, with repeatedly negative pregnancy tests before starting therapy, as well as two forms of birth control in any person who could get pregnant (unless they are abstinent). There is a high likelihood that a baby who is exposed to isotretoin will experience severe damage or be stillborn. If a pregnancy occurs while on isotretoin, the drug must immediately be stopped, and the person needs to be referred to an expert in reproductive toxicity. A pregnancy termination should be discussed, but the decision is always up to the patient (except where prohibited by law).
Although isotretoin can cause severe damage to the developing fetus if taken during pregnancy, a study showed that any effect on fertility was gone 18 months after treatment. There are many reasons why a woman can have difficulty getting pregnant, due to eggs that are less likely to get fertilized. Age is a major factor, but many genetic conditions, chemotherapy, radiation, viruses (including COVID-19), and autoimmune diseases are known causes.
I wish your daughter the best of luck. I have had several patients give up after several rounds of IVF, only to conceive a healthy baby naturally.

Use an appropriate extension cord. String lights above outdoor living spaces like decks and patios can create a warm, relaxing nighttime vibe. Those lights need to be plugged in, which increases the risk for electrical accidents.When utilizing an extension cord outdoors, never use a cord designated for indoor use. Outdoor extension cords are better insulated than cords made for indoor use. That insulation provides better protection against the elements, including sunlight, changes in temperature and moisture. When using an extension cord outdoors, make sure the cord is secured and not left lying on a deck or patio where it can easily become a tripping hazard.

Emily Bradford: A Passionate Advocate for Nature and Community
BY SUZIE WELLS
Emily Bradford’s journey to becoming Assistant Director at Tinker Nature Park is one defined by curiosity, passion, and an unyielding dedication to nature. Her role at Tinker is multifaceted, assisting with planning and maintenance, supervising volunteers, and overseeing the park’s bee yard. Emily also coordinates the park’s public relations and major projects, such as the digitization of the Tinker Homestead & Farm Museum Inventory and grant writing efforts.
Emily’s path to Tinker was not a straightforward one. Having previously found herself unsatisfied with her career choices, she made the bold decision to return to school, earning an Associate degree in Environmental Science from Monroe Community College and a Bachelor’s degree in General Biology from SUNY Brockport. Her love for natural history, coupled with a lifelong interest in the earth and its ecosystems, led her to this unique role. Emily had volunteered at historic houses, had an interest in beekeeping, and had experience working with children and older adults – skills that naturally aligned with the responsibilities she would take on at Tinker. roughout her career, Emily has drawn inspiration from several key figures, including her eighth-grade science teacher, Mr. Wilcox, who nurtured her interest in the “strange” sciences like geology and paleontology. More recently, her close friend Kris has provided unwavering support and encouragement as Emily transitioned from being “Tim (Pratt, Tinker Director)’s secretary and helper” to his righthand partner in managing the park.
What drives Emily in her role at Tinker are the visitors. Ensuring the park remains welcoming and informative is at the heart of her daily efforts. She takes great joy in the variety of tasks her job entails, starting each day with a cup of coffee alongside Tim, as they review a to-do list that is never the same from one day to the next. e unpredictability of the work is something Emily cherishes, and it’s one of her favorite aspects of working at Tinker.
Some of Emily’s most cherished moments at Tinker come from the connections she’s made with the community. Whether it’s encountering new animal babies in the spring, being recognized by a child as “Miss Emily from Tinker” when she’s out on her bike, or hearing positive feedback about improvements made to the park, these interactions add up to create a deep sense of fulfillment. However, her role also comes with surprises, particularly the unpredictability of trends and preferences in event participation, which has taught her to remain adaptable and open-minded.
Stepping into a leadership role has been one of Emily’s most significant challenges. e responsibilities she now carries, including decisions that affect the livelihoods and well-being of others, have required her to grow and evolve as an individual. Fortunately, she has a supportive team at Tinker, and she relies on them to help her navigate these challenges and confront her own biases and weaknesses.
Under Emily’s guidance, Tinker Nature Park serves the community in numerous ways. e park remains free and open to the public, “forever and always,” Emily insists, offering educational programs that
foster environmental awareness of local flora, fauna, and ecosystems at Hansen Nature Center and on the park grounds. Community events, workshops, and festivals bring people together and create a sense of belonging, while the Tinker Homestead & Farm Museum preserves and showcases local history and heritage.
Tinker Park’s collaborations with other organizations have been vital to its success. Working with the Rochester City School District (RCSD), Tinker field trips are cost-free for students, and they currently seek sponsorships to cover transportation costs. Emily and her team participate in the Hometown History Expo at the Genesee Country Village & Museum and regularly partner with the Henrietta Town Historian and the Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District for various programs and conservation efforts.
Reflecting on changes in outdoor education and conservation over the years, Emily feels optimistic. She notes a shi towards experiential learning for all ages, with hands-on engagement with nature prioritized and a growing emphasis on community involvement in conservation efforts. is evolution to a more interdisciplinary and collaborative approach gives her hope for the future.
Emily is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the public, particularly when it comes to conservation. She cautions against the oversimplification of complex environmental issues o en found on social media and encourages individuals to seek out reliable information and engage in informed discussions.
Heradvicetothenextgenerationissimpleyetprofound:getoutside, embrace curiosity of what you see in nature, and take responsibility for the stewardship of our planet. rough these actions, Emily believes we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the roles we all play in its preservation.

Whitney Houston - With a big voice and personality, Houston was incredibly popular during the 1980s and 1990s. While she is known for many chart-topping hits, her fame reached a new level when she covered Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” for the movie “The Bodyguard,” in which she also starred. Houston’s version bridged the gap between country and R&B/pop.

What is Celebrate Naples?
Celebrate Naples is an opportunity for community minded individuals to apply their talents and time to create FREE quality events for those living in the Naples Central School District. Celebrate Naples focuses on celebrating the Naples community… its businesses, organizations, and ALL its people. e Celebrate Naples events are designed to provide family entertainment and to bring Naples residents together in a place… “Where We Call Home!”
A new organization was formed called Celebrate Naples LLC in 2023. Independent of all other local groups or existing events, its sole purpose is to plan, fund, and execute community events for Naples residents to enjoy.
We are kicking off the celebration with a charity gala event (SOLD OUT) to support Hospeace House, our local comfort home, on Friday, September 6th. And, on Saturday, September 7th, we have a parade, street dance, and fireworks planned for you to share with friends and family. Celebrate Naples Business Specials will be sponsored by 24 local businesses and organizations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the day.
Please check out the included Celebrate Naples Insert and go to CelebrateNaples.org for more details.
Get ready for a great time and join us at Celebrate Naples ‘24. I love this town!

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* If your bananas start to brown on the outside, put them in the fridge. ey will still get brown, but the inside stays firm instead of getting mushy.
* “I used double-faced tape to stick a couple of clothespins inside the cabinet under my sink. I can hang my gloves under the sink when I am finished with the dishes.” -- T.C. in Minnesota
* Help nylons and tights retain elasticity by giving them a final rinse in diluted vinegar before hanging dry. Never add nylons to a heat dryer.

Get Your Garden Growing: Four Tips for Starting a Garden (Family Features)
1. Know the Lay of the Land - Assess the gardening conditions in your yard before you dig your first hole or plant your first seed. Conditions such as sun, shade, soil type, climate and moisture levels are all key factors to consider when creating your gardening plan.
2. Prepare Your Soil - Healthy soil translates to better plant growth, so be sure your soil has the nutrients it needs to flourish. Talk to a representative at your local home and garden center for tips on choosing the right type of fertilizer based on the soil and the plants you’re growing.
3. Choose and Care for Plants Expertly - Once you’ve prepared your gardening space, you can begin to explore plant options available. To prevent the discouraging cycle of trial and error gardening with new plants, try Black & Decker’s new PlantSmart digital plant care sensor, a revolutionary gardening tool that provides expert advice for growing and maintaining all types of plants and flowers, both indoors and out. Its reusable, waterresistant sensor uses patented technology to measure key environmental information from sunlight and temperature to moisture, soil conditions and more. Your readings are then uploaded to your personal PlantSmart online account and combined with real-time climate and horticultural information from your local area, for a foolproof gardening experience. This tool will help ensure you are choosing and growing the right plants in your new garden.
4. Take the First Dig - When you’re ready, dig a hole that is slightly bigger and deeper than your plant’s roots, and gently place the plant in the prepared hole. Pat the surrounding soil down firmly, but don’t pack it, and be sure to leave enough space between plants. If using seeds, refer to the package’s directions to gauge the soil depth needed for proper growth; drop the seeds in and place soil firmly on top.

Veggie stands
What a lovely feature of our part of the country… home grown veggies, eggs, flowers for sale or for free by the side of the road. Grabbed some gorgeous sunflowers, succulent zucchini, and candy-sweet tomatoes tonight in Sweden. Makes me proud to be living here. Thanks neighbors.
Wonderful family stopped to help
We cannot thank the family in the black SUV (Lincoln maybe) that helped push our car to the side of the road when it died in traffic on RT332 near Carmens Way. At 77 years old I started to push it and all the members of this family got out from their SUV and pushed us to the side to safety. The OC Sheriff came along and kept us all safe. Monday the 12th of August reset my thoughts of who would help others today. We had only moved here (Farmington) for a year and a half, and now we know that among the fleeting moments of our lives there are the people who would "jump to help.” I didn't get names, but I wanted to post this so that perhaps they will see this and know how thankful we are. God Bless you wonderful good Samaritan family.
Electric Scooters
Since when is it legal to drive an electric scooter down [street]? No, not just on the sidewalk but in front of moving vehicles. Then, with no helmet either. He was following a lady on a Vespa style scooter, both roughly doing 10 to 15 mph in a 30 zone. Oblivious to others, they just didn’t care. And then they went around the intersection using crosswalks, then back into the road. Where are the police? If any injury happens it should be NO fault to the drivers, regardless of the cause.
Yard/Garage Sales
If you’re selling an item that’s defective or with no apparent damage, have the decency or class to point it out before you have your hand out for the cash. I bought an item, not cheap either, and I later found that it had cracks inside that leaked. You had to know. You even said you’re selling it because you’re moving. Your neighbors said differently. I tried contacting you hoping you’d do the right thing or at least tell me if there’s anything else I should know before I order the replacement part. Nope, you’re not man or woman enough to do so. Sure, it’s on me for buying at a yard sale, but either way, I’ll see you at your next sale.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY
Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.
People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.
