STRANGE BUT TRUE

* David Babcock broke a Guinness World Record for his time in the Kansas City marathon, at 5 hours, 48 minutes and 27 seconds. But not for running -- he managed to complete the race while knitting a scarf that measured just over 12 feet long. As he said later, “Knitting the whole way really did help distract me from the hard parts of the marathon.”

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Botox Injections Used to Treat Overactive Bladder
DEAR DR. ROACH: In two weeks, I am supposed to get Botox injections for my overactive bladder (OAB) and my frequent need to urinate at nighttime. Are these injections safe? Are there any bad side effects? How long do they work? -- D.J.
ANSWER: The initial treatment for OAB symptoms usually consists of lifestyle changes (i.e., quitting smoking and avoiding medications that worsen symptoms at night), pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bladder training. If these are ineffective, medication is often used. If medications don’t work or cannot be tolerated, additional treatments are considered, such as Botox.
The underlying problem with an OAB are uncontrolled bladder spasms. Botox is a powerful suppressor of muscle activity. If just the right amount is used, the excess muscle spasms are reduced, and the person gets good results. However, if too much is used, the person may not be able to urinate spontaneously at all, so your urologist will be giving you instructions on how to self-catheterize, in case you are unable to void your bladder after the injection.
If you note that the leakage has worsened a week or so after the procedure, this is a big clue that the bladder is not functioning after the injection. This can last for months, but typically no more than three months. Fortunately, this complication happens uncommonly, in about 2%-7% of people. Other complications include infections and bleeding, but these are not common. Antibiotics are given to reduce the risk of infection. Very rarely, muscles outside of the bladder are affected, including generalized weakness and eye muscle weakness.
When it works well, most people start noticing benefit in a week or so, and relief typically lasts 9-12 months before another injection is given.
*** 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.
Cook - A food thermometer is a person’s best asset against foodborne illnesses. Always cook food to the recommended internal minimum temperature, which can help kill any pathogens in the food.Rather than judging doneness by sight alone,use a thermometer to prove that the food is thoroughly cooked. In addition, foods that are supposed to be served hot should remain hot. When serving a buffet, consider using
dishes to keep foods at or above 140 F.
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.

GO GREEN WHEN SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS THIS SUMMER
Embrace eco-friendly activities. Various activities, from organic gardening to planting trees to beach cleanups, provide a great way to get outdoors and help the planet at the same time. Men and women who grow their own vegetables can take solace knowing that the vegetables they’re eating each night did not require the depletion of any natural resources to go from garden to table. Signing up for beach cleanups can prevent trash, including harmful plastics, from making its way into the world’s oceans, and such cleanups provide a great excuse to go to the beach.

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

Share experiences via social media: Small businesses recognize the value of social media. A 2021 survey from Visual Objects found that 74 percent of small businesses in the United States are active on their social media accounts at least once each week. Social media can become even more valuable to small businesses when their customers utilize such platforms to share positive experiences and encourage their friends and neighbors to patronize local businesses.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY
CHOCOLATE CARDAMOM TRUFFLE CAKE
Serves 10 to 12 Amaretti Base
5 ounces amaretti
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
5 tablespoons sugar
Cardamom Truffle Filling
2 1/3 cups heavy cream
4 to 6 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised to open them
25 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), grated
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
4 tablespoons chocolate liqueur
Cardamom Cocoa Sugar
3 green cardamom pods
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 10-inch cake pan with a removable base, base and sides lined with nonstick parchment paper
To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes - this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.
To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.

The Sweet Origin of S’mores and Marshmallows: A Rochester Tale
BY KAYLEE DUDA
The enticing aroma of marshmallows roasting over an open fire is a sensory hallmark of summer evenings and camping trips. is classic American treat - known as the s’more - has a history that is as rich and gooey as the confection itself. But did you know that Rochester, NY played a pivotal role in the mass production of marshmallows and the creation of s’mores?
e origins of the marshmallow can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where the mallow plant, a wild herb with a delicate, sweet sap, grew in abundance. e Egyptians, known for their innovative use of natural resources, discovered that by extracting sap from the mallow plant and mixing it with nuts and honey, they could create a delectable treat that was considered fit for the gods and royalty. is early version of the marshmallow was a luxury item, enjoyed by the elite and used in religious ceremonies.
As centuries passed, the art of making marshmallows evolved. Fast forward to the 19th century in France, where confectioners took the ancient concept and gave it a modern twist. French chefs began to whip mallow sap with sugar and egg whites, transforming the sticky, chewy substance into the fluffy, airy marshmallow we recognize today. is innovation made marshmallows more accessible and appealing to the general public, though they remained only in small batch tedious production.
Rochester’s connection to marshmallows began in earnest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. e burgeoning city, renowned for its innovation and industrial prowess, emerged as a significant center for candy manufacturing. Local confectioners, driven by a spirit of experimentation, began refining the marshmallow recipe and experimenting with mass production techniques. Rochester’s Joseph Demerath of Rochester Candy Works developed a machine to mass-produce marshmallows. ese efforts were instrumental in popularizing marshmallows across America, setting the stage for the treat’s future success.
e s’more, a delicious contraction of “some more,” is a simple yet indulgent combination of roasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. e treat’s origins can be traced back to outdoor enthusiasts who sought a perfect campfire snack. e first recorded recipe for s’mores appeared in a 1927 Girl Scouts handbook titled “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” is cookbook included the s’more recipe as a part of its outdoor cooking section, introducing the treat to a broader audience.
e s’more quickly captured the imagination of campers and outdoor adventurers. Rochester’s Finger Lakes region, known for its
breathtaking landscapes and abundant camping spots, provided an ideal setting for the treat to gain traction. Campers in this picturesque area embraced the s’more, sharing stories and recipes around crackling campfires. e city’s local confectioners, who had already perfected the art of marshmallow-making, played a crucial role in making s’mores widely available and popular.
Today, Rochester’s legacy in marshmallow and s’more history continues to thrive. e city’s confectionery heritage is celebrated in various local museums and annual festivals that highlight its contribution to American culinary traditions. Modern confectioners have embraced the rich tradition of marshmallow-making, taking it to new heights with gourmet variations and inventive flavors. Social media platforms have also engaged in the innovation of the s’more, with some creators turning it into a dip, and others substituting cookies for graham crackers. ese contemporary twists on the classic treat delight both locals and visitors, ensuring the sweet legacy of Rochester endures.
From the ancient mallow plant of Egypt to the Girl Scouts’ campfire treat and beyond, the journey of the marshmallow and the s’more is a testament to Rochester’s sweet influence on American culinary traditions. Next time you bite into a gooey s’more, take a moment to savor not just the flavors, but also the rich history and local legacy that made this delightful treat possible. And when you drive by the Rochester Marshmallow Factory’s final location at the corner of Factory and Toronto Streets, you can still see the faded lettering of the company since its closure in 1924.

Embrace strategic landscaping. The landscaping outside of a home can contribute to cooler climates inside the home. Deciduous trees shed their leaves annually, and when planted on the western and southern sides of a home, these trees can block the sun from entering the home during the hottest times of day, reducing the need to lower the thermostat on air conditioners. Of course, when these trees shed their leaves in late fall, sunlight can then make its way into the home, potentially reducing heating costs.

The presence of “flea dirt”: Black deposits within the fur near the skin are often flea droppings. If you’re unsure, drop a little into water and see if they turn it reddish-brown. If so, this is indicative of fleas.
STRANGE BUT TRUE
By Lucie Winborne
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I recently visited an older relative who owns two dogs. Here in the Northeast, air conditioning isn’t common in older houses, and it’s been fairly hot for the past several weeks. When I went in, I saw both her dogs were lying down and panting because it was so warm inside. ere was no water for them, so I filled up their bowls and added a couple of ice cubes to each one. ey both drank nearly all the water. Please remind your readers that heat is dangerous for pets of all kinds, and even if they’re at home and indoors, they’re at risk. Sign me -- Concerned Cousin in Manchester, New Hampshire
DEAR CONCERNED: ank you. You just reminded them, and you’re absolutely right. Water needs to be available to pets at all times, indoors or out.
Heat injuries are no joke. ey can permanently injure or kill pets (and people). While much attention has been given to not keeping pets inside cars during the warm months, there are more danger areas to be aware of.
- If your dog is out in the yard, make sure they have a shady area to rest with plenty of fresh, cold water. Monitor them frequently: every 10 to 15 minutes.
- Homes without air conditioning can get very hot and stuffy, endangering pets of all types. Maintain airflow at all times with a fan and open windows, and always have water available. When a pet shows signs of heat stress -- panting, lying down, whining or mewing -- get them to a cooler room immediately. If they don’t improve, contact the veterinarian.

Thanks to the Rush Public Library staff for a wonderful summer reading program. Readers had lots of books to choose from even with the kids’ book section being closed for repairs. The staff is so enthusiastic and friendly—they are special people! Thanks!
A Huge THANK YOU
In these times of rising food prices, it is so wonderful to see all the items that the Avon community donates to the Avon Food Pantry. They give not only non-perishable foods but toiletries, laundry soaps and overages from their garden. It is heart warming to see all the items coming in to help people in need. A big THANK YOU to all.
Went to CHURCH rummage sale just a few minutes ago. It started at 8. I was the last person in line. Myself and the lady in front of me had to take our time going down two flights of stairs. Over 10 people found out the books were upstairs and made their way past us, almost knocking into us. Then a lady blocked the jewelry spot and no one was able to look. I was pushed again, so I paid for my 2 items and said “Sorry, I’m getting pushed around too much to look further.” The next person in line was a collector. The lady who was taking the money said “I marked these and they weren’t $2.00 each.” He said “it’s what’s marked,” and she said “Ok. Why?” It was a CHURCH trying to raise some money. How do you live with yourself? The cashier even said that wasn’t the price, he didn’t care. I left but paid what the price was. How do you cheat a church?
Balloon Releases Should Be Illegal
I think balloon releases should be illegal. Look it up: the harmful effects of balloon releases. Also you can look up ecofriendly alternatives to balloon releases. Remember, birds, fish, turtles, pets or any animal in the world can suffer due to balloon releases.

Inquire about relocation assistance. The Allied survey found that 63 percent of companies offered relocation packages. That’s a considerable perk, as moving can be expensive, especially for adults moving to different parts of the country. Asking about relocation expenses before being offered a job can be tricky, but some companies may mention such packages in their job ads or in their initial meetings with out-of-town candidates.
