HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

KITCHEN DESIGN WITH HEALTH AND ERGONOMICS IN MIND

(NAPSI)—Whether you’re among the 50 million Americans over 65 (90 percent of whom hope to continue to age at home), the 60 percent of families with children at home, have other ability issues or safety concerns or think you could someday, incorporating ergonomic elements that promote a seamless experience in the kitchen can make it a more comfortable place for everyone for many years to come.

Smart Sinks Given the amount of time spent in front of the sink, selecting one that considers your lifestyle and how you cook should be a priority. Details such as the durability and hygienic qualities of a sink’s material along with its style and size can impact efficiency and comfort.

For example, the latest sink from BLANCO, a manufacturer of finely crafted sinks, is designed to enhance workflow and accommodate all users. A first of its kind, the IKON® 33” Apron 1 3/4 Bowl with Low Divide sink is made with the brand’s exclusive SILGRANIT granite composite material. Easy to clean and scratch resistant, patented SILGRANIT material is a repellent, nonporous surface that eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals when cleaning.

The IKON sink also has a convenient low divide that sits just 5 1/2” from the sink bottom, making it easier to handle large pots and baking sheets while still dividing the sink into cleaning and prepping bowls. The apron front or farmhouse design, minimizes the need to lean over as much and so helps reduce strain.

Optional accessories further enhance comfort and workflow. A floating grid provides an extra level within the sink so handling hot and heavy pots can be safer and easier. A Floating Cutting Board that fits right on top of the sink instantly creates another workspace beyond the countertop.

Faucets Semi-professional and pull-down faucet models help make clean-up more efficient with their easy-to-maneuver design and powerful dual spray features. To make washing hands, food and dishes easier, consider a faucet with sensor technology such as the BLANCO SOLENTA™ Senso Semi-Professional Kitchen Faucet that lets you turn on the water with a wave of your hand. You don’t have to touch the faucet with your hands to get them clean—or if they’re full.

Other ways to enhance the ergonomics in your kitchen include:

• Use drawers instead of cabinets for storage so there’s less reaching

• Install different countertop heights to accommodate various users

• Raise the height of the dishwasher and oven if you can

• Select nonporous counter materials like quartz that are easy to keep clean

• Use LED lights for more brightness from less energy and that are cool to the touch

• Consider an easy-to-clean induction cooking surface—it can reduce energy costs, too

Q&A Master Gardeners with the

My neighbors have been doing a No Mow May and I’m worried about ticks. What can I do to protect my lawn and gardens fromticks?

Embracing a change in mowing habits throughout the year, rather than just in May, can have a multitude of benefits for your landscape. By allowing your lawn to grow to a height of 4 inches before mowing, you create an environment that isconducivetothesurvivalandflourishing of beneficial insects. These insects play a crucial role in pollination, pest control, and overall ecosystem health. When you mow at a higher height, you provide shelter and food sources for beneficial insects such as bees, butterflies, and ladybugs. These insects contribute to the pollination process, ensuring the reproduction of plants and the production of fruits and vegetables. Additionally,theyactasnaturalpredators, keeping pest populations in check and reducing the need for harmful pesticides. While your neighbors embrace the No Mow May movement, it is still essential to ensure the protection of your lawn and gardens against the threat of ticks. Maintain regular lawn mowing practices, diligently remove leaf litter and brush piles, and utilize effective tick repellents.

e

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE

Stick to paper invitations. Many schools provide students with invitations, but graduates and their families can choose to buy their own. Paper invitations are more personal than digital alternatives. Paper invitations also give the impression that the ceremony will be formal.

from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County

Additionally, establish barriers between your outdoor spaces and potential tick habitats. Remember to don protective clothing and apply insect repellents whenever venturing outdoors. By implementing these precautions, you can effectively minimize the risk of ticks while respecting your neighbors’ commitment to No Mow May.

Furthermore, with every choice we make to be sustainable there are trade off. I believe this change in mowing habits promotes healthier soil and reduces the need for excessive watering and fertilizers. Longer grass helps to retain moisture, reducing water runoff

andpromotingwaterconservation.Italso encouragesdeeperrootgrowth,resulting in a more resilient and drought-tolerant lawn. Keeping your grass at 4” doesn’t promote ticks as they prefer un-mowed grass.

So,by extending your mowing practices beyond May and maintaining a higher grass height of 4 inches, you not only create a welcoming habitat for beneficial insects but also contribute to a healthier and more sustainable landscape overall without increasing the tick population. SEND

FUN WAYS TO KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED OVER SUMMER BREAK

Day camp: Day camps provide much of the structure of school without all the homework or time spent indoors. Many parks and recreation departments run summer day camps for kids. Camps can be generalized or specialized. For example, some may offer an array of activities, including sports and nature walks, in a given day, while others may focus on a single activity, like musical lessons or science-based programs. Camps run by local parks and rec departments do not typically last all summer long, which parents should keep in mind when enrolling youngsters.

CELEBRATE DAD AND SOME HISTORY THIS FATHER’S DAY

Father’s Day has been celebrated in one form or another since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Perhaps the most driving force behind Father’s Day was Senora Dodd, who thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Dodd wanted to honor the sacrifices that fathers make. Father’s Day was not formally considered a holiday until 1972, when a Congressional Act officially designated the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. Families celebrate Father’s Day in many ways. This year Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 15. Dads who are history buffs may want to celebrate this year’s holiday by reminiscing about the notable events that have occurred on June 15 through the years. Here are just some of the many historical events that took place on June 15.

1752: Ben Franklin performs his famous kite-flying experiment to test the electrical power of lightning.

1775: George Washington is appointed Commander in Chief of the American Army.

1878: The first attempt at a motion picture takes place. Twelve cameras, each taking one picture, focus on horses’ hooves to see if they will leave the ground.

1887: The New York Giants baseball team beats the Philadelphia Phillies 29 -1.

Bartolucci (10-12 years old) Brooklyn Weidman (4-6yearsold)

1916: The Boy Scouts of America receives its congressional charter. 1918: An inch of snow falls in northern Pennsylvania.

1924: Native Americans are proclaimed U.S. citizens.

1934: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is dedicated.

1940: France surrenders to German forces as Nazi troops occupy the city of Paris.

1968: John Lennon and Yoko Ono plant an acorn at Coventry Cathedral.

1977: General elections are held in Spain for the first time since 1936.

1985: The Russian space probe Vega 2 lands on Venus.

1992: Vice President Dan Quayle famously misspells the word “potato”at a spelling bee.

2002: An asteroid misses hitting Earth by 75,000 miles.

2003: The San Antonio Spurs defeat the New Jersey Nets to win the NBA Championship.

2012: President Barack Obama indicates the United States will stop deporting some illegal immigrants.

2013: An estimated 40,000 residents of Piedra Negras, Mexico, are devastated by flooding.

Help Reduce Animal Overpopulation

One of the easiest ways to prevent pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter animals. Cats can reproduce at very fast rates. According to the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team of Central Oregon, two uncontrolled breeding cats can create the following situation if they have two litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter: 12 cats in the first year, 66 cats in the second year, and 2,201 cats in the third year. Cats reach puberty between 4 and 12 months of age. Female cats reproduce between January and September, and might come back into “heat” every 14 to 21 days until they have bred or daylight decreases considerably. Cats can give birth 60 days after they have bred.

Time for summer fun with your dog

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dad finally let us adopt a puppy a few months ago, and I can’t wait for summer vacation, when I can spend all day with him! He’s got lots of energy, but we’ve been training him to follow commands so he doesn’t run off. What are some outside games that I can play with him? -- Kerry B., Winchester, Virginia

DEAR KERRY: You’re going to have a wonderful summer! It sounds like you and your family have been diligent about training your dog in basic obedience so that he’ll come back to you on command, sit and stay in place. And he’ll be old enough -- and have his most important vaccinations out of the way -- to stay healthy outside or when encountering other dogs.

Here’s a few great off-leash games to play:

Fetch: e gold standard game for dogs remains a favorite. Just grab a tennis ball and toss it.

Frisbee: Energetic dogs can chase these flying discs all day.

Agility training: Start with simple tasks like going under or over obstacles.

Swimming: Fill a kiddie pool in the backyard and let your dog splash around on a hot day.

Tracking: Have your dog follow a line of treats to a “jackpot” (a toy or food). Extend the distance between treats each session.

Remember, only take your dog off leash in a safe area or approved offleash location. A fenced-in backyard is ideal, but if you don’t have one of those, go to a dog park or municipal, state or federal park that has an off-leash area. Some of these games, like agility and tracking, can be done on-leash. Most importantly, have fun!

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Does Intermittent Fasting Raise the Risk Of Heart Disease?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read a recent headline that said people who fast intermittently have an increased risk of heart disease. Is there merit to this story? -- K.O.S.

ANSWER: Intermittent fasting is an increasingly common weight-loss strategy. The two most common approaches of intermittent fasting are alternate-day fasting (eating nothing one day, then whatever you want the next) and timerestricted feeding (eating at certain times throughout the day, usually during an eight-hour time frame).

The published data on the benefits of these diets show short-term weight loss (i.e., 12 weeks), but no long-term weight loss (1 year), compared to the standard dietary advice.

There is evidence of potential harm from intermittent fasting. Studies have shown an increased risk of eating disorders (particularly binge eating). One study showed that disordered eating worsened in those assigned to an intermittent-fasting schedule. However, other studies do not show this.

The concern for disordered eating is highest among younger and female populations, who are at the most risk for eating disorders, and I advise against intermittent fasting for a person with a history of an eating disorder.

The study you read about was presented as an abstract in the March meeting of the American Heart Association; it is not yet published or peer-reviewed. But it did show that people who report an intermittent-fasting diet (specifically those who ate over an 8-hour time frame) were at a higher risk for death from heart disease than those who ate over a 12-16 hour time frame.

However, this wasn’t a controlled study, and it is likely that people who chose a time-restricted eating pattern already had issues that put them at a higher risk for heart disease. Still, given the absence of long-term benefits, I don’t generally recommend a time-restricted diet or intermittent fasting to my patients.

My colleagues in weight medicine consider intermittent fasting to be an option that helps a subset of people. There are some people who do benefit from this type of diet, and as long as they are eating well and are being monitored by their physician, they should continue to follow their diet if it is working for them.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT DENTAL CLEANINGS WHILE WEARING BRACES

Consult with your dentist. Dental hygienists and dentists are experienced at cleaning teeth that have braces. Typical visits for routine cleanings will not be much different than visits without braces. The staff will take X-rays and conduct a thorough examination of the teeth. Hygienists know how to manipulate cleaning tools around braces to clean effectively. Very often, cavities can be filled and even root canals performed with braces on teeth, so there’s no need to worry. Should braces be in the way, the dentist can work with the orthodontist and have a bracket temporarily removed and replaced to facilitate treatment.

TURN YOUR YARD INTO A VACATION-WORTHY OASIS

Install a pool: Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days.An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hang-out zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy.With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

PREVENT DIY INJURIES

When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the recommended rung or engaging in risky behavior while on the ladder, such as reaching or hanging over too far.

When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Gray or pink grass: Another indicator of winter lawn damage linked to snow is gray or pink grass. The NALP reports that this is a byproduct of snow mold caused by lingering snow. Action may be unnecessary, as the NALP notes these circular patterns often go away on their own. If not, raking the affected areas might be enough to get the lawn on the road to recovery. If the issue continues to linger after raking, a topsoil application and subsequent seeding may be necessary.

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.

* On June 14, 1789, English Captain William Bligh and 18 others, cast adrift from the HMS Bounty seven weeks before, reach the East Indies after traveling nearly 4,000 miles in a small open boat. On April 28, they were set adrift with 25 gallons of water, 150 pounds of bread, 30 pounds of pork, six quarts of rum and six bottles of wine. (The History Channel)

Home Safe

On June 5, 2024, our dog went missing. I immediately shared the news on Facebook and contacted the Hamlin Dog Shelter. Soon after, a neighbor relayed that her friend had spotted a couple with a brown dog on the parkway. During our search, the Hamlin Dog Control Office informed us that they had found her, and she was safe at the shelter. The couple had notified law enforcement who stayed with our dog until Dog Control Officer Dave Maynard could pick her up. We were lucky in this situation and are deeply grateful to the observant passerby on the parkway, our caring neighbors, the couple who looked after her, the police, and Dave Maynard for their part in bringing our dog back to us. The closeknit nature of a small town certainly has its benefits. A sincere THANK YOU to all who were involved.

VENT BRIGHTER

To my neighbor who cut down the linden tree

I loved the linden tree you cut down. Its leaves filled our windows. Its blossoms scented our house and yes, its leaves fell into our yard and its sap left drops on the car, but I didn’t care. I loved its shade and watched eastern bluebirds and robins and woodpeckers in that tree. I am heartbroken and will grieve its loss a very long time. I will also transplant one of its seedlings from my flower bed and hope I live long enough to see it grow into a tree half as big as the one you destroyed. Trees are a gift, especially as summers grow hotter. I would gladly have raked its leaves for you if that was the reason. All you had to do was ask. But people here rarely talk with one another. We may be neighbors but no one is very neighborly and while you think something on your property is yours alone, know that your tree was also my tree and that what you do affects our entire community. Let’s please do a better job of being neighbors to all the living things we are lucky enough to live with.

Working disabled

Several times I saw a person with a department store blue uniform/vest going into work. They parked in the closest handicap spot. This person had no wheelchair, no cane and seemed to walk just fine. I have to wonder how he’s able to work yet can’t walk into work unless using the closest spot. I’m so tired of people with all these handicap tags abusing the system. I SAW THE PERSON INSIDE WALKING around. How many hours is this spot going to be taken when others who truly need it don’t have it available? Another problem is people sitting in the handicap spot waiting for people. A suggestion would be dropping them off by the door and then sitting in front of the store. If you’re in your vehicle you’re not going to get a ticket. There’s not enough handicap spots for the people who abuse them and the people who truly need them.

Celebrating Clara Barton: A Mural Project in Dansville

BY SUZIE WELLS

Dansville is about to welcome a vibrant new addition to its historic Main Street. On June 29th, the community will come together for a unique “Paint Party” to celebrate Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, o en referred to as the “Angel of the Battlefield.” Residents will help paint Dansville’s newest mural, created by acclaimed muralist Melissa Stratton-Pandina, on the south-facing wall of 170 Main Street, steps away from the historic Chapter 1 House.

Dansville ArtWorks manages this mural project, with funding by the LivCo First Impressions Village Edition grant to bring history and art together in a public space. Melissa hails from Westborough, MA, but her in-laws, Frank and Alice Pandina, live on the mountain in Dansville.

Melissa’s journey as an artist is as fascinating as her work. “I grew up in Germany as an Army brat,” she shares. “I got to see a lot of murals and chalk art growing up and I wanted to do that when I grew up.” Her artistic path led her to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt), where she studied under notable working artists. “ e program was tough and only had a 10% graduation rate. So, I got better real fast,” she says.

A er college, Melissa worked as a freelance artist but found it challenging to make a living without business skills, so she worked as a massage therapist while her family was young. Fiberglass public art rekindled her passion, and when her children started school, she devoted herself full-time to art. Melissa’s works have been featured in museum shows, professional artist magazines, and various publications.

“I started to really fall into public art and murals,” she says. She honed her skills further at the Community Mural Institute, where she learned to scale up her work and learned business and logistic skills needed for murals. Today, Melissa aims to complete five large and five small murals each year. Her largest to date spans 6,000 square feet at the Southwick Zoo.

For Melissa, stories are the heart of her inspiration. She says, “I find people fascinating. I really love getting into people’s internal lives; this is why I do a lot of portraits. ese portraits have led me to doing historical murals,” such as the upcoming Clara Barton one. “You can tell so much about a person by their face. And I love to reflect to people the beauty I see looking at them.” She describes the challenge inherent to each project, wanting to see how far she can push herself artistically while representing the feeling and the story behind a subject.

Melissa’s favorite media are oil and large-scale murals, “Oil because I can take my time, build layers, and make sure everything is perfect.

And I love murals because of the challenge to see how big, fast, and accurate I can be.”

Her creative process for murals, especially historical ones, involves extensive research and sketching. “Each mural starts with about 100 thumbnail sketches. Once I’m happy, I go on a scavenger hunt for reference photos, and then I work a photo design up on the computer.” is meticulous process ensures accuracy and ease of projection onto the wall.

e Dansville Clara Barton mural is particularly meaningful to Melissa, as she explains: “My dad was a medic in the army. I grew up around battlefield medicine and I find [Barton’s] role in it fascinating.”

e mural’s goal is to capture Clara Barton’s essence, particularly through her portrait. “My biggest focus is getting that portrait perfect. I really love the lighting and color in the sketch so I can’t wait to make it a reality.”

Melissa appreciates the creative freedom she has had with this project. She says, “Dansville had a short list of things they wanted in the mural, but I had a long leash on how I put those elements in. I feel like I had a large sandbox to play in.”

Melissa’s journey is a testament to perseverance and passion. Her advice to aspiring artists is simple yet profound: “Don’t give up. Be fearless in making mistakes. Your work will never be perfect, but each time it can be less wrong. And that’s the path to good art. All the ‘nos’ don’t matter as long as your work makes you happy.”

As Dansville prepares to celebrate Clara Barton with the new mural, Melissa Stratton-Pandina’s artistry stands as inspiration, inviting the community to engage with their history and each other through the power of art.

For more about Melissa and her work, visit www.deshria.com, and join her and the community on June 29th to be part of Dansville’s legacy. Melissa hopes she and her muraling can be part of some child’s origin story, just as she experienced long ago.

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 foodcaked 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.
