HOST A SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE
Advertise the sale
To reach the maximum number of shoppers, advertise your sale in various ways. Signage around the neighborhood announcing the sale is one method. Signs should be bold, simple and easily readable for passing motorists. Place ads in local newspapers, online and on grocery store bulletin boards, and use social media to spread the word of the sale even further. Be sure to give ample notice of the sale so that shoppers can mark their calendars.

Put a healthy spin on an old family favorite
Meatloaf is a dinnertime staple for many families. A favorite of adults and children alike, meatloaf can be prepared however cooks see fit, making it a versatile dish for family dinners. Parents who want to enjoy meatloaf with their families and do so while promoting healthy diets can try the following recipe for “Turkey, Vegetable & Oat MiniMeatloaves with Marinara Sauce” from Michelle Dudash’s “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds).
Turkey, Vegetable & Oat
Mini-Meatloaves with Marinara Sauce
Serves 6
Expeller-pressed canola oil spray
1 8-ounce package crimini (baby bella) mushrooms (about 21/2 cups)
1 small yellow onion, cut into eighths
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil
1 cup dry rolled oats
2 large eggs
1 pound lean ground turkey (or beef or bison)
13/4 cups pasta sauce, divided
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or 6 mini loaf pans with spray. Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped and add them to a large bowl. Repeat with onion and garlic.
Place a large frying pan over medium heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add vegetables and sauté for 7 minutes or until water releases and evaporates completely, lowering the heat as necessary. Set aside.
Process the oats until they are of a fine consistency. Whisk the eggs in the bowl used for the vegetables. Add processed oats, turkey, 3/4 cup of pasta sauce, cooked vegetables, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir together with a fork until blended.
Scoop the mixture into 6 mounds on the pan or into each mini-loaf pan, about 3/4 cup each. Shape each mound into a 4 x 2-inch loaf. Spread remaining 1 cup of pasta sauce on top of the loaves, distributing evenly. Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes, turning pan midway through cooking, until loaves are firm or a thermometer inserted in the middle reads at least 165 F. Allow loaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes: You can finely chop vegetables with a knife rather than using a food processor if you prefer. Whole oats can be added to the meat mixture for a more rustic texture.

Dogs are wildly popular pets. The American Pet Products Association says there are 63.4 million households in the United States that have a dog, and with the exception of 2002 and 2015, that number has steadily risen since 2000. Certain breeds remain especially popular among dog owners. In August 2021, the pet insurance provider Trupanion released the most popular dog breeds of 2020, and the top five breeds were:
1. Labrador retriever
2. Golden retriever
3. Goldendoodle
4. German shepherd
5. Labradoodle

Each mumbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE
Market: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment,potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings.For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor.

FACTS FOR NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
Millions of people comprise the demographic. The U.S. Census Bureau says that more than 60 million people identified as Hispanic or Latino in 2020. That figure represents a 25 percent increase since 2010. Hispanics and Latinos now comprise about 18 percent of the U.S. population.
Suicide Prevention Month is an opportune time to focus on strategies that can help prevent suicide and support mental health. Here are some actionable tips to consider:
Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about the warning signs of suicide, such as changes in behavior, mood swings, withdrawal from social activities, and expressions of hopelessness. Share this knowledge with friends, family, and colleagues to help increase awareness and understanding.
Open Up Conversations: Encourage open discussions about mental health and suicide. Let people in your life know that it’s okay to talk about their feelings and struggles. Creating a safe space for these conversations can make it easier for individuals to seek help when needed.
Offer Support: Be attentive to the needs of those around you. If you notice someone struggling, reach out and offer support. Sometimes, just knowing that someone cares and is willing to listen can make a significant difference.
Advocate for Mental Health Policies: Support and advocate for policies that promote mental health and provide better access to mental health care. Advocacy can help improve systems and resources that are vital for preventing suicide.
Learn How to Respond in a Crisis:
Familiarize yourself with how to respond if someone you know is in immediate danger. Knowing the steps to take, such as contacting a crisis hotline or seeking emergency help, can be critical in preventing a tragedy.
By integrating these tips into your approach during Suicide Prevention Month, you can contribute to a supportive environment that promotes mental health and reduces the risk of suicide.

Scarves were first worn by Ancient Egyptians, such as the infamous Queen Nefertiti, who used them as a head wrap. In the 17th century, higher-ranked Croatian soldiers wore silk scarves while the rest wore cotton ones. Famous music composer Ludwig Van Beethoven used to wear silk scarves.
1940 Scarves Become Manuals During WWII
Women’s scarves with printed instructions on how to escape air raids, deal with blackouts, and general patriotic slogans become popular around this time. It takes years to make one scarf
Not by humans, by Mother Nature — it takes two mulberry trees producing 300 cocoons to make a single silk scarf. The longest knitted scarf is 14,978 ft 6.16 in The scarf was knitted by Helge Johansen from Norway in 2013.

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR PET
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve been trying to take a picture of my cat “Jess” all summer long. But every photo looks terrible. Do you have any tips for taking good pictures of pets? -- Taylor H., Taos, New Mexico
DEAR TAYLOR: Patience and practice are your best friends when trying to get a great shot of your pet. Cats aren’t known for their tolerance of sitting in one pose for very long (especially when you’re trying to force them into a pose), and even well-trained dogs can’t stay in place too long.
Study the techniques of good photography; you can look them up online. Composition is more important than the device you’re using -whether an expensive camera or your smartphone. Incorporate these guidelines into your pet photography:
• Opportunity: Rather than posing your pet, photograph them in their daily lives.
• Eye level: Position the camera lens at the same level as your pet’s eyes, rather than aiming down at them.
• Focus: Make sure your device has a sharp focus on the pet’s eyes. If the auto focus has trouble doing so, try angling slightly to one side so their snout isn’t in the way.
• Natural light: Turn off the auto flash and rely on natural light, like sunlight or a warmly lit room. is keeps pets relaxed and gives a nice glow to the image.
• Background: Pay attention to what’s behind your pet. An unscooped litter box behind Jess will really stand out when you’re reviewing the photos.
• Unusual angles: Play around with different angles and perspectives when photographing your pet. Many won’t work, but you might be surprised at the ones that look amazing. Most important, have fun!

How to Recognize Normal Versus High Blood Pressure
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been confused about what normal blood pressure is for me (or anyone). I know there is some debate on what normal is today, but let us say that normal is 120/80 mm Hg. Does this mean that 110/90 mm Hg, 130/70 mm Hg, or 150/50 mm Hg is also normal? Is there any significance of the ratio between systolic and diastolic blood pressure? -- L.P.
ANSWER: Because so many people have high blood pressure, and the consequences of untreated or poorly treated high blood pressure include a risk for heart attacks and strokes, it’s critically important to understand this thoroughly.
For a young, healthy person, the lower the blood pressure, the lower the risk of blood vessel damage that leads to these dreaded complications of heart attack and stroke. I routinely see people with blood pressures of 90/60 mm Hg who are just fine (although they are a bit more likely to faint).
But for middle-aged and older people, we define blood pressure as normal when the systolic (first or top number) pressure is less than 120 mm Hg and the diastolic (the second or bottom number) is less than 80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is when the systolic pressure is between 120-129 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg. It’s considered hypertension when the systolic number is 130 mm Hg or greater, or the diastolic number is 80 mm Hg or greater.
So, all of the readings you proposed are hypertension -not just elevated blood pressure.
Of course, the higher the reading (in general), the higher the risk of damage to the blood vessels and, after some years, the higher the risk of heart attacks or strokes. It’s not the ratio of the systolic and diastolic numbers that is of interest; it’s the difference between them (also called the pulse pressure). So, with the numbers you gave, the pulse pressures are 20, 60 and 100 mm Hg. Independent of blood pressure levels, a higher pulse pressure confers additional risk to the person, mostly because very stiff blood vessels cause a high pulse pressure. Different types of blood pressure medicines affect pulse pressure differently.
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. (c) 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

SCHOOLS
Modifying school lunch offerings: Schools are taking inventory of not only the foods they offer on lunch menus, but also the feel of the cafeteria so that healthy eating is encouraged. This may include removing vending machines that contain unhealthy snacks or providing a greater array of offerings that include fresh fruits, whole grains and lean protein sources. Some schools also are investing in components, such as salad bars, to store, prepare and display healthy foods.
Stripe smut
The 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.
FIELD MOWING
MAKE FALL CLEAN-UP ECO-FRIENDLY
Take inventory
Look at which items in the yard have seen better days and prepare to recycle or reuse them in different ways. Faded plastic planters can be used as impromptu bird baths in a garden. An old tire can be mulched and turned into soft material to put around a playset. Inquire as to the proper way to recycle plastic lawn chairs that may be broken.
TO LOOK FOR DURING ROOF INSPECTIONS
Curled, cracked or missing shingles may prove troublesome. Inclement weather can test the strength of even the most durable roofs. Even though many roofs are designed to last up to 30 years, some may need to be replaced early, particularly when they have been exposed to harsh weather over a period of years. Individual shingles can be replaced as spot treatments, but if the damage is widespread, a new roof may be necessary.
Roof age: The age of the roof is a major factor in determining if it will need to be
or if repairs can be made to isolated damage. Individuals who live in neighborhoods where neighbors are now replacing roofs will likely find it is time to consult a roofing company. Homeowners also can check to see if they have any receipts that indicate the roof’s installation date so they have an idea about its age.

VENT
Thanks to all the great teachers! With the start of school and the anxieties of new surroundings, activities, and friends, it’s encouraging to see so many teachers display kindness and patience with our kids. Some people are quick to blame and judge, while the day to day encouragment that teachers dole out goes unnoticed. Please know that we parents and grandparents see you and appreciate you.
To the elderly man who verbally accosted me in the [local store] parking lot for leaving my shopping cart in a striped area in front of the handicapped space he was pulling into. I’ve read where handicapped people like the easier access to carts left there. Two older women were taking one of the carts left there to use. Think twice before berating someone you don’t know. I fell last year and tore my rotator cuff and then fell again last night in my basement and was in a lot of pain after shopping and loading my groceries into my trunk. I am eightyyears-old and a widow. What do you plan to do with the picture you took of my license plate?
Speak English
“This building has reached the end of its useful purpose” or “those with food insecurities.” Why do we have to change simple terms? How about, “this building is getting old, it needs remodeling?” How about, “people who struggle to put food on their tables?” Do speakers believe changing a term, like those examples, make them sound more intelligent? Simple, everyday terminology works better for all.

TIPS FOR TAKING STUNNING NATURE PHOTOS
Zoom in and crop subjects. Smaller pictures can be just as compelling as larger ones. Zoom in on the bark on a tree, the skin of a lizard or the wings of an insect. Closer looks at what is hiding in plain sight in nature can lead to compelling pictures. Zoom in and think about a macro lens, which will magnify even the tiniest details.

PAT PAULY: The Art o Fiber in Mo on
BY SUZIE WELLS
Pat Pauly, a Rochester-based contemporary art quilter, has captivated audiences worldwide with her vibrant, abstract textile work since the early 1980s. Known for her striking use of color and graphic designs, Pauly’s work has been featured in major exhibitions and fiber art publications, establishing her as a leading figure in the fiber art world. She describes fiber art as “the perfect amalgam of construction, painting, and printmaking,” a medium that allows her to blend her love of artistic design with hands-on cra smanship.
Pauly’s path to fiber art started with a background in art and design. With a degree in art and additional graduate work in design and fine art, Pauly initially worked in exhibit design for prominent museums, including the Rochester Museum and Science Center, e Strong National Museum of Play, and the Memorial Art Gallery. ough she found success in museum work, it was her exploration of textiles that truly ignited her passion.
In e Weeds
In 1981, her first quilt was accepted into a prestigious exhibition, marking the beginning of a prolific career. Reflecting on that early milestone, she says, “ at started the career I now have as an exhibiting artist. I’ve traveled across the U.S., Canada, and Australia teaching design and printing, and lecture both in person and virtually. Sharing my work has opened the world to me, one I never planned or thought I would have.”
Her designs, o en inspired by natural forms and abstracted to create bold visual statements, are not only exhibited globally but are also available to collectors. Pauly’s fiber art can be found in private and public collections, a testament to the universal appeal of her work. She
employs various techniques, such as direct drawing, monoprinting, and screen printing, to achieve her signature style. Pauly uses fiber reactive dyes, a process she appreciates for leaving the fabric flexible and so , which allows her pieces to remain fluid and dynamic despite the structural rigidity o en associated with quilting.
Beyond creating, Pauly is also dedicated to sharing her cra . She leads workshops and lectures on fiber art design across the U.S., Canada, and Australia, offering both virtual and in-person sessions. Her teaching approach mirrors her creative process – dynamic, engaging, and informed by years of experience in both traditional and contemporary art forms.
“Goals can be made for my professional future,” she notes, “but I know that the path I’ve chosen is never clear, and the changes from year to year always surprise me.”
Despite her extensive travels, Pauly remains grounded in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region, where she finds inspiration from both the natural beauty and the vibrant arts community. “I’m fortunate to be surrounded by great artists as well as the beauty of the Finger Lakes,” she says. When not teaching or traveling, Pauly can be found in her Rochester studio, immersing herself in new projects and designs.
Her blog, “Pieces and Resistance,” offers an inside look at her creative process, personal reflections, and the inspirations behind her work. “It’s where I share my random thoughts and excursions made public,” she explains, inviting readers into her artistic journey.
Looking ahead, Pauly embraces the uncertainty of the creative process, finding joy in the unpredictability of what lies ahead. is past summer alone, she taught workshops on the Northwest Coast of Washington, in Juneau, Alaska, and Cape Cod, all in the span of one month. Each new experience adds another layer to her work, blending memories of new landscapes and people into the fabric of her art.
