ABlanche Stuart Scott: Rochester’s Aviation Pioneer and ‘Tomboy of the Air’

melia Earhart is o en the most recognizable woman in aviation, researched by schoolchildren across the country and perhaps the world. Her cross-Atlantic solo flight was impressive for anyone at the time, male or female, and she was an amazing individual in the industry.

However, America’s first female aviator is Rochester’s own Blanche Stuart (“Betty”) Scott. Born April 8, 1885, Scott loved spending time outdoors, bicycling and exploring. Despite her mother’s attempts to “transform her into a lady” in finishing school, Scott was, as she described herself, “a screwball” and “a cocky kid of 18,” so that didn’t work. Sean Dobbin of the Rochester D&C says Scott “[eschewed] her finishing school lessons in favor of the latest technologies.”

Scott was a firm believer in women’s self-sufficiency, and Scott said “women should wake up and take serious, intelligent, articulate interest in what makes the world tick.” Fittingly, Scott, an avid automobile enthusiast, started driving around Rochester at age 13. She supposedly “terrorize[d] the city streets to the point where the city council attempted to ban her from driving,” as the Federal Aviation Administration’s Hannah Chan reports. However, such a ban couldn’t stick because there were no age or gender driving restrictions.

In 1910, according to the FAA, Scott hopped in an Overland roadster nicknamed “Lady Overland” and made the 5,500-mile road trip across the US. Traveling from New York City to San Francisco in 68 or 69 days, depending on the source, Scott said she made the trip “purely for pleasure and educational value,” but also said that “women who have cars are too dependent on men … or their chauffeurs.” ough critics thought Scott would not be able to handle the mechanical issues of such a long journey, Scott was determined to prove them wrong.

In that land adventure, Scott became the first or second (again, depending on the source, but those who claim Scott as second name another Rochester-born woman, Alice Huyler Ramsey, as the first) woman to drive across the contiguous US. On the way, she saw her first airplane, originally “thinking these people flying were idiots, not realizing [she’d] be doing the same thing three weeks later” (FAA). Scott made news with that road trip, and a member of the Glenn Curtiss Exhibition Company of Hammondsport, NY connected with her to learn to fly. Despite no formal training for aviators (who only received verbal instructions on the ground, evidently) and widespread discrimination against women at the time, in 1910 Scott mostly taught herself, and she never looked back.

BY SUZIE WELLS

With her first public flight with the company, the first professional appearance of a female US aviator in Fort Wayne, IN, Scott began (or continued) a career of firsts. She set long-distance flying records for women in 1911, and performed the lead role in e Aviator’s Bride, the first film about flying. In 1912, she became the first female test pilot in the US and performed in many exhibitions across the western US, becoming the US’ first female stunt pilot, gaining the nickname as the “Tomboy of the Air.”

In 1913, a Memorial Day crash took Scott out for a year, a er which she flew only a few times before retiring from active aviation in 1916. According to the FAA, she retired “because of the lack of opportunities for female engineers and mechanics [and because she] was bothered by what she perceived as the public’s disturbing interest in air crashes” instead of the sheer wonder of human aviation.

In retirement, Scott dove into screenwriting and radio, even writing and producing her own radio shows under the alias “Roberta.” Her passion for flying continued, though, and in 1948, she became the first female passenger to ride in a jet plane, a TF-8oC, and she received honors from the US Aeronautics Association in 1953.

In 1954, Scott began consulting with the US Air Force Museum, helping acquire $1M+ of early aviation artifacts for the museum. e Antique Airplane Association honored the 50th anniversary of her first flight in 1960, and the US Postal Service commemorated her achievements with a stamp in 1980.

In 2005, Blanche Stuart Scott was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, whose reports declare Scott “a pioneering aviator of indomitable spirit of adventure.” May we all remember this incredible Rochesterian whose strong will and determination allowed her to break barriers and follow her passion.

Here’s a Tip

* Use a muffin pan to make cookie cups for ice cream or fruit. Just flip your muffin pan over, and press dough over the upturned wells. It will puff up a little, but once it settles, they make very nice bowls. I do this with pizza dough as well. Prebake for a few minutes to form the bowl, then fill with ingredients and complete baking.

* If you can put a tension rod in the cabinet under your sink, you can use it to hang spray bottles for extra storage. It’s amazing how much space clears up, and it’s easy to find the bottle you need.

* Travel a lot? Make use of those shower caps by pairing up shoes and using the shower cap to hold them together while simultaneously protecting your clothes from the shoe bottoms. Smart!

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN BEER &

In the weeks leading up to Easter, practicing Christians commonly commit to a period of fasting and abstinence known as Lent. This commitment commemorates Christ’s 40-day journey into the desert, and the sacrifices modern day Christians make are meant to replicate those made by Christ duringthatperiod.ManyChristians abstain from alcohol during Lent, but those who do may not realize that beer played a significant role in helping a small community of 17th century monks survive the Lenten fasting season. Monks from the Order of St. Francis of Paola, often referred to as “Paulaner monks,” fasted from all solid foods throughout the season of Lent during the 1600s. According to the Paulaner Brewery, the monks, originally from southern Italy, relocated to Bavaria, once an independent country but now a southern state in Germany, in the 1600s. Their strict religious orders forbade the monks from consuming solid food during Lent, but they still needed nutrients to sustain them. So the monks concocted a strong brew loaded with carbohydrates and nutrients. The monks must have liked the beer, as they continued to brew it and even began selling it in their community. An early doppelbock, the beer was one of the first offerings from the Paulaner Brewery, which opened its doors in 1634 and remains open today.

This world renowned and easily recognizable Irish dry stout traces its origins to 1758, when Arthur Guinness began creating it at his brewery at St. James’s Gate in Dublin. The black beer and its familiar white head instantly evoke images of Ireland for millions of people across the globe. While hosts outside of Ireland might not be able to find a keg of the black stuff for their Paddy’s Day party, it is widely available in cans.

University of Maryland Extension notes that stripe smut primarily poses a threat to Kentucky bluegrass that is older than three years. Pale green streaks that run parallel to the veins in the leaves and leaf sheaths are symptomatic of stripe smut, which tends to be noticed in spring and fall, when weather is cool. As the disease progresses, stripes turn black or a silvery gray, causing the leaf blade to shred and curl. After the blades have shred, they turn brown and die. The grass thins because stripe smut makes it vulnerable to problems like drought.

MASONRY & BASEMENT

DID YOU KNOW?

Many an amateur landscaper has encountered grubs while tending to their lawns, but even the most attentive green thumber may have a lawn infested with grubs and not know it. According to the pest and weed experts at Roundup® , grubs often go unnoticed until late summer, when they’ve already done substantial damage to a lawn. Oddly enough, one of the telltales signs of a grub infestation is not the grubs themselves but the animals looking to dine on them. Fully grown grubs make for hearty meals, so homeowners who notice raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and/or birds digging up their lawns may have a grub infestation. That’s because these unwanted guests like to dine on mature grubs who have spent summer feasting on organic matter in the soil. Another sign of a possible grub infestation is a lawn that feels spongy when stepped on. Patches of dead grass that peel back easily are a sign that grubs have eaten the roots that keep healthy grass in place.

Treatment Given for Dry Eyes Fails to Improve Condition

DEAR DR. ROACH: I developed chronic dry eyes after having cataract surgery on both eyes. I consulted an ophthalmologist who specialized in treating dry eyes. She prescribed Restasis, but my condition didn’t improve after three months of use. She then switched me to Xiidra and instructed me to use it for two more refills, which lasted for nine months.

At the end of my conversation with the dry eye specialist, she said that she had done everything she could for me. I inquired about the Miebo drug that was recently approved or the LipiFlow procedure. She mumbled something, then said “goodbye” and “good luck.” Was she openly admitting her incompetence?

-- K.J.W.

ANSWER: It’s hard for me to believe that a dry eye specialist wouldn’t know about the new treatments available in their area of expertise, and I can only guess that there was some kind of miscommunication. As a generalist, I have to know at least a little bit about a whole lot of conditions, rather than a specialist who knows a whole lot about just a few conditions.

For most people with dry eyes, starting with artificial tears is usual and effective, but I certainly have had patients use artificial tears many times daily and still have unpleasant symptoms. I also recommend trying to avoid dry areas, especially with high airflow.

Most people with dry eyes have blockages in the meibomian glands, which secrete an oily substance that helps prevent the eye fluid from drying. It also forces the lacrimal glands to make more tears. (This leads to the paradox of people having red, watery eyes when they really have dry eye disease.) Trying to unblock the meibomian glands with baby shampoo and warm water is another treatment generalists like me often try. But when these therapies aren’t working, an ophthalmologist is essential. An ophthalmologist can do an exam to be sure if the meibomian glands are blocked. Among the treatments they have available are the ones you tried: cyclosporine (Restasis), which works well for a minority of people; lifitegrast (Xiidra), which decreases inflammation; varenicline (Tyrvaya), which increases tear production; and Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane), which works by reducing evaporation.

If the problem really is the blocked glands, doctors can also consider more powerful treatments to unblock them. One of these, Lipiflow, is a heat-based treatment. My colleagues in ophthalmology, to whom I refer, tell me that this is often successful, although the process may need to be repeated -- sometimes every six months and sometimes longer. Ophthalmologists can also place plugs to reduce the loss of tears through drainage.

Make sure you’re fully hydrated before hitting the gym so you’re less vulnerable to muscle cramps or injury, and drink water while exercising as well.

PAW’S CORNER

Leveling Up: Walking with multiple dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I walk my neighbors’ dogs every day a er school. It takes time because I have to walk one dog at a time, then go to the next house, and then the third one. I’d like to make this job a little more efficient by walking all three dogs at the same time. What’s the best way to do this? --

Colin R., Smyrna, Georgia

DEAR COLIN: I can see your dilemma! Walking three dogs separately takes at least one hour, probably two, when you add in the time spent accessing each home, leashing up the dogs and unleashing.

It is possible to walk all three dogs at once, but you have to do two important things first: One, get permission from each neighbor to walk the dogs together, and two, make sure the dogs will get along before you commit.

You may be able to only walk two of them together and the third one alone. And if the neighbors don’t agree, then you’re stuck walking all three separately.

If you do get permission to walk them together, do it on a trial basis. Here are a few tips from professional dog walkers:

• Don’t use retractable leashes when walking multiple dogs. You need full control at all times.

• Leashes can easily get tangled; hold two in one hand and one in the other, or buy a 3-way leash coupler to minimize tangles.

•If one or more dogs gets aggressive or bullying, walk them separately to prevent the problem from getting worse.

SALT- Matthew 5:13 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing.” Born Again Believers are called to be Salty in our difference from the worldly culture, morals, kindness, forgiveness, love, light, honesty and work ethic. Also our defiance against sin, standing for the weak and fallen, Faithfulness to Church, Family and Country. Water causes Salt (sodium chloride) to lose its saltiness. Watered down Christianity causes that. Then we don’t follow the “Old Paths’’ (Jer. 6:16), Keep our selves Godly (Jude 1:20) and keep ourselves in a Bible Believing Church. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” Hebrews 10:25.....

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Mental Health America, individuals’ reactions to the death of a loved one can elicit unique emotions linked to their relationship to the deceased. For example, MHA, a community-based nonprofit focused on promoting mental health, notes that a child’s death could inspire different feelings than the loss of an elderly spouse. When parents lose a child, that death may arouse a sense of injustice that can overwhelm the child’s parents as they contemplate lost potential, unfulfilled dreams and, in certain instances, the child’s suffering. Elderly individuals who lose a spouse may be overcome by feelings of loneliness. Recognition of these different reactions is important because it can help individuals and their support networks more effectively cope with their grief.

Small Town Shoutout

I wanted to give a small shout out to my small town that in the past few years has done many things for their residents and visitors. From updating/paving the park walkway to adding a disc golf course to new events to redoing a building to a small venue spot, the work hasn’t gone unnoticed by your residents. Kudos!

Wine Sales in Grocery Stores

The grocery stores don’t need to sell wine. They are already dominating the local revenue streams of our communities. Why jeopardize the small wine & liquor stores that help make up our local commercial sectors. It’s just greed on the part of the grocery chains. Write your legislators and say “no” to grocery store wine sales.

Breakfast on a Saturday Morning Brings Me Joy

Handicapped parking

After moving back to Webster 1 1/2 years ago from the Buffalo area, I resumed attending a restaurant in Webster to meet friends and acquaintances from 9:00AM to about 10:30AM to make garrulous conversation. The conversation is all over the place, and it is made up of people in their 70s to early 80s. The number of attendees can vary from 6–12 people. However, adding to this happy merriment is my engaging with a lovely 7 year disabled girl named Delilah. She is brought there by her mom who puts her in a high chair cause she can’t walk and can’t talk too well, but she understands. They sit in a booth about 10 feet down the aisle from our group. That sweet blonde haired little girl has stolen my heart and the others in my group. I wave to her and blow kisses from where I sit and call her name. She then exhibits a smile that enthralls my heart. For the past 3-4 weeks I have brought her candy and dolls. Her mom brings her to our table to interact. Yes, Delilah and friends bring joy to me to start the weekend.

AGAIN, this must be addressed! Monday, a red SUV sped up and quickly pulled in front of me, cutting me off. Then they pulled in the [Department store] (same one as me) and sat in the vehicle for 5 minutes before getting out. My point? In such a hurry to cut me off then sat 5 minutes before getting out. He had parked in a handicapped spot, literally jumped out, bent over, pulled a young child out of a car seat, carried the toddler and briskly walked into the store. PHYSICIANS!! Please do a better job of passing out tags! Seriously, the abuse must stop! This man’s strength did not warrant that close spot by any means. His walking was fantastic. If disabled mentally? Seizures?…he had a young child with him while driving. The excuses must stop, these people know they are abusing this! There must be more spots for the true ambulatory disabled.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB

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.
