REASONS TO PLANT A TREE
There are plenty of reasons to plant trees. Trees provide a natural form of shade, reducing air temperature by blocking the sun’s rays. This can reduce reliance on air conditioning systems and make it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during the summer.
North Carolina State University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences says trees absorb and block noise and reduce glare. They also can trap dust, pollen and smoke. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses from the air. One large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for as many as four people, while also storing 13 pounds of carbon per year.
Q&A Master Gardeners with
from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County
What are tried and true methods for keeping weeds away?
Keeping weeds at bay is an ongoing battle for gardeners, but there are several tried and true methods to help you maintain a weed-free garden. Here are some effective strategies to consider:
1. Mulching: Mulching is one of the most effective ways to suppress weeds. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips, straw, or bark, around your plants. Mulch helps smother weed seeds, prevents their germination, and blocks sunlight from reaching existing weeds. It also helps retain moisture in the soil and improves its fertility. Regularly replenish the mulch layer to maintain its effectiveness.
2. Hand Pulling: For small areas or isolated weeds, hand pulling is a practical and eco-friendly method. Ensure you remove the entire weed, including the roots, to prevent regrowth. It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is moist, making it easier to extract them. Regularly inspect your garden and promptly remove any emerging weeds before they have a chance to spread.
3. Weed Barriers: Weed barriers, such as landscape fabric or cardboard, can be used in conjunction with mulch to create an additional barrier against weeds. These materials block weed growth by preventing sunlight from reaching the soil. Place the barrier over the soil before applying mulch, ensuring it covers the entire planting area. Cut holes in the barrier to accommodate existing plants.
4. Weed Control Fabric: For larger areas, weed control fabric can be an effective solution. This permeable fabric allows water and nutrients to reach the plants while blocking weed growth. Install the fabric on the soil surface before planting, securing it with landscape pins. Cut holes in the fabric to accommodate the desired planting areas. It’s important to regularly inspect and remove any weeds that may emerge around the holes.
5. Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance is key to weed prevention. Keep your garden beds tidy by removing debris and fallen leaves, as they can provide a breeding ground for weed seeds. Regularly hoe or cultivate the soil to disrupt weed growth and prevent them from establishing deep roots. Additionally, practicing good garden hygiene by removing weeds before they go to seed will help prevent future weed problems. Remember, a combination of these methods is often the most effective approach. It’s also important to be vigilant and address weeds as soon as they appear to prevent them from spreading and competing with your desired plants. With consistent effort and the right strategies, you can keep weeds under control and enjoy a healthier, more attractive garden.

TYPES OF FIREPITS FOR YOUR BACKYARD OASIS
Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

MAINTAIN SPARKLING CLEAR POOL WATER
For cleanliness, water circulation and filtration is essential. This helps spread the chemicals to all areas of the pool and also helps to remove debris. Filters come in different types, including sand, diatomaceous earth, or DE, and cartridge. Each has its pros and cons. How long to run the filter depends on water temperature, gallons of water in the pool and the estimated water turnover rate of the filter. Pool owners can start with longer filter run times and gradually cut down until they find the right rate based on water appearance, according to popular pool forum Trouble Free Pools.
FAST-GROWING VEGETABLES
Arugula: Some people call arugula “rocket” because of just how quickly it grows. The green has been growing in popularity as a salad starter or vegetable side dish. Simply cut the leaves when they are large enough and as needed for recipes. Other fast-growing greens include kale, chard mustard greens and watercress.
IMPROVE OVERALL ENDURANCE
Pushing oneself physically can be exhausting and demanding. But whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a part-time fitness enthusiast or even someone who lives a largely sedentary lifestyle, you can find ways to dig down and improve your overall endurance. Many athletes find pushing their bodies past certain boundaries to be empowering. Letting complacency set in is easy, but finding the motivation to press on and push ahead takes mental determination.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Doctors Differ on Dietary Advice for Lynch Syndrome
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 55-year-old woman who eats well and exercises (with both weights and cardio) six to seven times per week. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome. (I have the “MLH1” genotype.) My primary care physician suggested testing after my sister died of cancer at the age of 48. (Doctors were never able to determine if she had breast or lung cancer because of the location of the cancer.) All of my siblings (four of us) have been tested, and each of us has it. Two of my nieces have also tested positive for it.
I have three adult children of my own, and my doctor told me that at least one of them will have it. Of my three children, only one has been tested, and she tested positive for it. Since my diagnosis, I have been receiving regular preventive care such as colonoscopies, endoscopies and mammograms. Other than some polyps that were removed, checked, and free of cancer, all procedures have come back “clear.”
One doctor told me to eat little to no red meat, follow a Mediterranean-style diet, and exercise. Another told me: “Live your life and eat whatever you want. Lynch Syndrome is hereditary. No matter what you do, you’ll either get cancer, or you won’t!”
I feel like I’m getting mixed messages from my doctors. Could you please tell me more information about Lynch syndrome? Does this mean that I will definitely end up getting cancer? Is there preventive care that I should focus on? -- G.R.
ANSWER: Lynch syndrome is caused by a mutation in a group of DNA repair genes. Without these repair genes, a person’s DNA is more liable to have errors in it when duplicated, which leads to an increased risk of cancers. People with Lynch syndrome are particularly at risk for colon cancer, but also cancers of the stomach, kidney, bladder and other organs. Women are at a higher risk for endometrial and ovarian cancer, but it remains debated whether breast cancer is a Lynch-associated cancer. Men with Lynch syndrome are at a higher risk for prostate cancer. Among family members, it is expected that half will inherit the Lynch mutation. Your family has been unlucky. I recommend that your other children get tested soon.
Of the four major genotypes in Lynch syndrome, MLH1 tends to have the highest risk of cancer, and approximately 70% to 80% of women with this genotype will get a Lynch-associated cancer, usually colon or endometrial. The goal is to find and remove these cancers before they can spread.
I strongly disagree with the doctor who suggested that diet isn’t important. When you are at a higher risk for cancer, it’s more important to have the healthiest lifestyle you can. A Mediterraneanstyle diet, which is high in fruits and vegetables and low in processed foods and meat, is likely to reduce your cancer risk, but it is critically important to continue screening.
A colonoscopy is recommended every one to two years. Many experts perform endometrial biopsies every year, despite ironclad evidence of benefit. Ovarian cancer screening is controversial and of uncertain benefit; some high-risk women have chosen a riskreducing surgery to remove their ovaries and fallopian tubes. Any symptoms of endometrial or ovarian cancer should be discussed with your physician, who can decide whether to do additional testing.

HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Couples who travel for their weddings and employ local vendors will not have to pack as much. Using local vendors eliminates the need to bring along bulky dresses, decorative items, flowers, and much more. Plus, couples needn’t pay to transport and house vendors brought along from back home.

What used to be nice senior apartments is now filthy, dirty, and a very low caliber of people. Drugs. Drinking. Constant overnight guests. Dirty animals. Bad behavior. Smoking inside. It sounds harsh but it’s a fact. How can new managers bring down a building so fast? In a matter of a few years! It literally smells in there. It’s going to take years to clean up, if you care to. In the meantime it falls on you and your reputation of not doing a very good job. It might pay to bring in older, experienced and wiser people to manage it.

Can’t believe a multi-million dollar renovation is necessary for our [local town] Airport after the many million dollar renovation recently completed. Our small city airport functions just fine without the “enhancements” that are proposed. “Natural lighting” shouldn’t cost millions. This sounds like a huge rip-off for our tax dollars.

DID YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia.The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Pete Bruckel Recognized for 30 Years of Support of the National Warplane Museum
BY RUTH HENRY, NWM VOLUNTEER
National Warplane Museum (NWM) volunteer John Snyder and NWM President Austin Wadsworth visited Peter Bruckel at his company in Avon recently to present a plaque honoring Bruckel’s 30 years of Museum support.
An aviation enthusiast, Bruckel earned his pilot’s license at age 30. His two sons, Justin and Josh, love aircra as well, having been around planes since they were toddlers. “I love the speed!” says Justin, who received his pilot’s license in 2023.
Pete’s support for NWM started in 1994 when he donated a building to the Museum. His crew disassembled, loaded, transported, unloaded, and reassembled the small original hanger which provided a tremendous boost to the newly formed organization. Over the years, his company, P S Bruckel Inc. in Avon, has assisted Air Shows and large group gatherings by bringing in lights, signs, traffic control management and generators.
During the early Airshows, the Bruckel family were easy to spot as they perched thirty feet above the crowds atop an orange scissor man-li , a large piece of industrial heavy equipment used for highway bridge painting. e li remained on site throughout the show for family and friends to enjoy the unobstructed views of planes taking off and landing.
Asked what has prompted his support over three decades, Pete cited his love of aviation, love of airplanes, and love for military veterans who “fought for this country and deserve more credit than they get.”
Pete’s father, William J Bruckel, served as a Navy Commander during WWII. He was stationed on a submarine in the waters of Tokyo Bay when Hiroshima was bombed. His sub rescued a B-29 crew from the waters off Tokyo, and movie footage of that rescue remains in the Bruckel family archives. William Bruckel completed his military service and then, through the GI Bill, attended University of Rochester and Harvard Law School (1946-48). He established a law practice in the Town of Avon and served as Village Attorney.
e Bruckel family’s benevolence has extended beyond NWM, including Toys for Tots and Canandaigua Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Pete’s latest initiative, LIVWELL, is a multi-use facility planned in Avon on land donated by his family. Growing up in Avon, Pete’s
participation in sports helped him connect to the community and learn valuable life lessons he believes can benefit people of all ages today. His father, William, was an All-American football player in college and his three children all played college sports. Pete sees LIVWELL filling community needs through the development of a multi-generational community wellness center offering indoor and outdoor sports and recreation, community space, and senior programming.
According to Justin, a LIVWELL Board member, “ is facility will be accessible to the community geographically. Programs that families had to drive to Rochester to find will be available right here in Livingston County.” In addition to sports, LIVWELL plans community rooms for social gatherings and events for seniors and young families, as well as health services such as physical therapy and wellness classes.
Asked what motivates this level of philanthropy, Justin cites his dad’s success over his 45 years as a business entrepreneur and this new season of life Pete is entering. “He has supported many people and programs over the years but is now able to focus on larger community projects. He has a special place in his heart for Livingston County and Geneseo and now can give back in a more substantial way.”
As with the National Warplane Museum, Pete recognizes the importance of re-investing in the community, for himself, his neighbors, his kids, grandkids, and future generations.

TIPS TO HELP MEN LOOK THEIR BEST: Make an effort to reduce stress. Stress produces a host of negative side effects, some of which can indirectly affect appearance. Some people dealing with stress end up suffering from insomnia, which can contribute to bags under the eyes. Stress also can adversely affect hydration of the skin, contributing to dry skin. Stress also can contribute to hormonal imbalances that lead to skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. If stress is a problem, make a concerted effort to reduce it, even working with a physician to reduce stress when necessary.

Spitting
Cherry pit spitting is the act of spitting out remains of cherries from one’s mouth to send them as far away as possible. Thousands of people, comprising contestants and spectators around the U.S., gather at specified venues to participate and witness this exciting holiday. The origin of the day is associated with Herb Teichman. He is the owner of Tree-mendus Fruit Farm. They first held a fun competition of cherry pit spitting in 1974 at his farm.
BUT... have you ever wondered how you can just enjoy cherries without trying to tear out the pits first? Well, guess what, there is a cherry pitter! It looks like a giant hole punch, except it’s for punching out cherry pits and it does four cherries at a time. It’s simply amazing! You won’t ever have to spit out or tear out cherry pits again!

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.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.
A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner. Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.

WAYS ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONALS CAN IMPROVE THEIR RÉSUMÉS
Rather than focusing on job responsibilities at each job you held, gear the résumé around what you achieved in each position. This will help identify how you performed in the position, instead of just a general retelling of what you did. It can be challenging to achieve this for jobs that don’t naturally lend themselves to numerically quantitative results (i.e., increased department sales by 15 percent), but it’s still possible to use a résumé to illustrate your achievements.
Ratherthanstatethatyouwereresponsibleforprovidingcustomerservice, explain that you built your reputation on conveying difficult technical terms to the layperson, serving as the go-to employee for translating job jargon for outside correspondence.
If you have quantitative proof of how you accomplished something, certainly add it. This can include measures of profit growth, reduction of debt or increase in customer base.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Mazzotta
How to remove a tick from your pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: While checking my little Terrier, “Fritz,” a er a walk, I found one small tick just hanging on his fur. I don’t know what I would have done if it had attached itself to his skin. What’s the procedure? Should I rush him to the vet if a tick attaches itself? -- Carla in Albany, New York
DEAR CARLA: Excellent work in checking Fritz’s coat right away a er your walk! Ticks are so common now that it’s important to check a er every outdoor foray, even if your dog never leaves the sidewalk. A tick check is a fast way to make sure -- just by running your hand along your pet’s coat, down and then up.
You do not need to rush your dog to the vet for an embedded tick. You can remove it yourself. Here’s how:
-- Grab a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass. If you have surgical gloves and a tick remover tool, even better.
-- Have another person hold your dog still while you locate the embedded tick.
-- Carefully grasp the tick with the tweezers as close to the dog’s skin as possible, near its head.
-- Slowly, steadily pull the tick out. Don’t jerk. Place the tick into a plastic bag with a little isopropyl alcohol.
-- Clean the dog’s skin with a dab of isopropyl alcohol and apply antibiotic ointment.
A er removing the tick, monitor your dog for a few days and keep an eye on the bite area to make sure an infection doesn’t develop. If you notice changes in his behavior, signs of illness or the bite area gets infected, then it’s time to see the vet, and bring the tick along in a plastic bag.
