Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* "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.

Chronic stress: Chronic stress has long been linked to a host of health problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, chronic stress puts individuals at increased risk for heart disease and weight gain but also issues that affect mood, including anxiety and depression. Individuals who find themselves routinely confronting bad moods may be dealing with chronic stress. Identifying the source of that stress and speaking with a health care professional about how to reduce and manage it may lead to improvements in mood.

Please Be Responsible
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.
After moving, getting acclimated to a new neighborhood and making new friends is one way to feel at home.

Protect Your Mobile Devices - and Your Identity (Family Features) Mobile devices have become an indispensable tool for many people - and the thought of losing one of those devices, or having it stolen, is disconcerting, to say the least. But it happens every day. It’s estimated that lost or stolen phones alone could cost U.S. users $30 billion in 2012.
When a phone or tablet goes missing, so does a lot of personal information. And that can lead to more than just some inconvenience - it can lead to a stolen identity.
The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. While identity thieves still resort to old-fashioned methods of information gathering, like going through trash and stealing wallets and purses, they can also get the personal information you store on your mobile device.
Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Organize a tag sale: Garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, and flea markets are great places to find preowned items. Men and women who are both bargainand eco-conscious can organize their own neighborhood sales where several houses around the neighborhood pool their items for one large sale. Bargain hunters can then peruse the collected merchandise and feel good knowing their purchases are benefitting the environment.

Scan local advertisements: Church bulletins, newspaper classified ads and online bullet boards typically boast a number of items for sale, many of which are being sold at a fraction of the cost of new items. Before embarking on shopping trips, check these advertisements to see if there are any preowned items that meet your needs.
In addition, there are a number of social media groups that enable members to advertise their items for sale. Others are encouraged to inquire about the sales and make their own offers. Though it might take some effort, it is possible to get brand-name used merchandise for less.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

MILLWORK CAN ADD APPEAL & A CLASSIC FEEL
Homeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term “millwork” may be mentioned by designers and contractors. While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.
Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.
MAINTAIN SPARKLING CLEAR POOL WATER
Maintaining the proper chemical balance of pool water will help keep it clean and protect system components from damage. The pH level of pool water measures its acidity or alkalinity. The pH level should be between 7.4 and 7.6 for best results. Latham Pool Products says water that is too acidic can cause eye and skin irritation and damage liners or equipment with corrosion. High pH may cause cloudy water and make chlorine less active. Again, frequent testing helps pool owners understand their water chemistry better and make adjustments.
ROOFING & SIDING
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.

ENJOYING THRILLS AT AMUSEMENT PARKS
One of the more beloved ways for thrill-seekers to spend a day off is to visit an amusement park. Amusement parks take many shapes. Some may be small, traveling carnivals, while others are large parks that draw visitors fromalloverthecountry. Amusement parks typically feature hair-raising rides, games of skill, tasty food, and gift shops. That means there’s something for everyone.
Although they may seem like a relatively modern concept, amusement parks, fairs and carnivals actually have storied histories. In fact, historians say that carnivals and local fairs have been around since the Middle Ages. According to History.com, amusement parks, once dubbed “pleasure gardens” and “trolly parks,” sprung up across the United States and Europe in the 19thcentury.

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.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
School-aged children are busier than ever before, and some may be sacrificing sleep to accommodate their lifestyles. The National Sleep Foundation says school-aged children need between nine and 11 hours of sleep each night to function at a healthy level. Sleep deprivation can be linked to a host of health ailments, including issues affecting the development of the brain. Growing evidence suggests that lack of sleep can cause disturbances in metabolic rates that could affect the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. A recent study from Johns Hopkins University found that, for each additional hour of sleep a child gets, the risk of that child becoming overweight or obese decreases by 9 percent. Children who slept the least, according to the research, had a 92 percent higher risk of being overweight or obese compared to children with longer sleep duration. The NSF adds that poor or inadequate sleep can lead to mood swings, behavioral problems and cognitive problems that impact kids’ ability to learn in school. To promote good sleep habits in children, parents and other caregivers can establish consistent sleep/ wake routines; ensure children avoid excess caffeine, particularly late in the day; create a cool, dark sleep environment; keep televisions and other media devices out of bedrooms; and help children work through stressors that may impact sleep.

Kitty Jospe Shares Her Poetic Words of Wisdom
BY SUZIE WELLS
For Rochester’s Kitty Jospe, creative writing and poetry writing specifically has been a staple throughout her life, even as early as Christmas letters and celebrations as a child. She also reminisces about when she was around six years old and asked her mother on a rainy vacation day, “What can I/we do?” and her mother assigned Jospe’s older sister to write a story about “Millicent Moo” and Kitty to write about “Timothy Chipmunk.” Working with words has always been part of her life, she says.
She says that what she learned about poetry she learned best in a French poetry class as she pursued her MA in French Literature, and then when she taught French poets in AP French Literature for ten years.
A er a few workshops with poet greats, Tom Lux, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Alberto Rios, and then a er retiring from teaching, Jospe pursued her MFA, studies she says “opened my eyes to all Poetry could do.” During that program, she formed a reading appreciation circle to read aloud and discuss National Poet Laureates to identify each poet’s “secret ingredient,” what made the poet stand out, the same question she says she considered for 25 years as a trained docent at Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery.
Training herself to mindfully examine art and poetry extends to the natural world, Jospe explains. “Such mindfulness and curiosity is the stuff of poetry. Equally important is to experiment with possibilities, explore unusual images and juxtapositions, and embrace paradox. e trick is to know all the possibilities of the cra to render it so a reader is totally reeled in.”
In her writing, Jospe is “very mindful of form,” experimenting, letting each poem tell her what form and style it needs. Finding inspiration “everywhere,” whether in a conversation with a friend, adventures in the natural world, or even visual patterns and striking imagery around her, Jospe says she prefers lyric poetry, challenging herself to write well about something in a creative, unique way.
Jospe ritualistically rises early and writes every day. en at the end of the month, she goes through the writings and revises and submits what interests her. She values recognition of individual poems by the time she publishes them as a collection.
Most important to Jospe in her creative writing is connection, “bringing joy to people and helping them see how they can contribute to positive energy. is is the gi of art. It brings out the best in us.”
Jospe explains, “Creative writing invites us to join the universals and big picture of life. It allows us to leave media, society, [and] personal concerns temporarily so that we connect on a greater spiritual level to something we each have inside that prods our curiosity and compassion.”
To budding writers, Jospe says, “Read. Read! Read! Write. Write no matter what. Set aside time to pen your thoughts as a regular practice even if you don’t think you have anything to write about. Re-read a week later what you’ve written and revise. en find friends and share, ask their opinion. Be ready to keep revising. Read how other people have dealt with what you’re thinking about. Google different ways to understand a theme.”
Jospe is o en featured at poetry readings and events around Rochester. She recently read from her latest book, Whispers of Perhaps,
Whispers of Perhaps cover photo, capturing what it looks like to be a city in the sky, reflecting the implied perhaps of our human capacity for subjective perception – pareidolia, which imposes meaning
and this May, she will read for the Poetry Trail at the Webster Arboretum. Check out Jospe’s websites for more information on her publications and upcoming readings: kdjospe.blogspot.com, foothillspublishing.org/jospe/ Whispers of Perhaps “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
Perhaps this proverb brings hope, and perhaps we each have magic and imagine one hand on a staff, one hand on another’s shoulder... See how that woman smiles, how you can’t even guess that old man has a limp, and no one makes wrinkles in the forehead, no eyebrow hinting of worry.
Perhaps some ask, what is best knowing there is no answer. Others ask about the king, hearing both hands are on his stick Some answer, Perhaps it will help him guide. Others implore fate. Others continue to smile. Who knows?
Look at him, that bandage slung over his eye, the other eye staring ahead so intently. Can anyone guess what he sees? What do we ever know about what another is thinking, seeing, feeling? Tell me, how do you color your perhaps? What whispers do you want it to tell you?

NOW HERE’S A TIP
How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase first, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.
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.
