FACTS ABOUT FEBRUARY

Despite being the shortest month of the calendar year, February has an interesting history. Early calendars marked the start of the new year in March, but when the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, rose to the throne in 713 BC, he synchronized the calendar to the lunar year. That requiredtheadditionofJanuaryandFebruary.

Discardsomeitems.Homeownerswhoaredownsizingfromlargehomes may need to part with some of their furniture to make their transition to smaller homes go more smoothly. For example, homeowners may need to get by with just one bedroom nightstand and may even need to replace their existing nightstands with something more compact. Discarding living room end tables and downsizing to a smaller coffee table also can help homeowners make smaller common areas more welcoming and less cluttered.

COLD WEATHER WILDLIFE IN HOMES BOOSTS DISEASE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RISKS

Many people may practice the “love thy neighbor” creed, but when it comes to four-legged wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes when outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thinned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has found that many areas of the country continue to report increased encounters with nuisance wildlife.

“While it can be a unique experience to spot wildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be discouraged from taking up residence,” advises Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. “Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed to rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected with rabies. Because of the risks associated with these pests, homeowners should take extra precautions to protect

them.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING

Why mulch?

Mulching can benefit plants around a property in various ways. Many people lay mulch because the mulch helps soil retain moisture in the summer, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest. This can help plants survive summer heat waves.

Mulch also can be used to suppress weeds. Weeds, which steal moisture plants need to build strong roots and survive summer, need light to grow. When laid correctly, mulch deprives weeds of the light they need to grow. Organic mulches can even provide homes for crickets and a type of beetle that feed on weed seeds.

Mulch also can deter harmful pests depending on the type of mulch homeowners choose. When purchasing mulch, homeowners will have to choose between the aforementioned organic mulch or man-made mulches, which may be made of plastic or rubber. While man-made mulches may repel pests, they also can have adverse effects. Plastic, for example, can heat up in the summer and cause plants to burn. Certain organic mulches can repel insects that can threaten plants. That’s because the majority of organic mulches increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the soil, and they also increase the presence of helpful insects that do not pose a threat to plant life. Those helpful insects help keep harmful insects at bay. Compost is a type of organic mulch that may attract harmful insects. While that does not mean homeowners should shy away from using compost as mulch, they should know that they may need to employ organic insecticides to combat their unwanted guests.

MASONRY & BASEMENT

PREVENT DIY INJURIES

When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the recommendedrungorengaginginriskybehaviorwhileontheladder,such as reaching or hanging over too far.

When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.

CLUES IN THE ATTIC: THE SECRETS TO WINTER ROOF MAINTENANCE

Water leaks. As sure as we haven’t heard the last of NSA spying on Americans, it will soon storm. And when it does, shine a flashlight up in the attic in search of not just dripping water and condensation, but also water stains on the ceiling, walls and floor. All are signs that H20 is finding its way under your roof’s shingles or behind its flashings.

SNOW, ICE AND DAMAGE FROM THE COLD

Winter can be an unforgiving season. Freezing temperatures coupled with snow and ice can take its toll on people who live in climates where cold weather is a fact of winter life. While winter can test people’s patience, it also can be harsh on cars and trucks. Understanding what components of a vehicle can be compromised by dropping temperatures and snowy roads can help drivers take action to safeguard their automotive investments. While the Canadian Automobile Association notes that winter can wreak havoc on just about every part of a vehicle, there are some parts that seem to bear the brunt of Old Man Winter’s abuse. Properly servicing and caring for a car or truck can help.

CONSERVE FUEL DURING YOUR DAILY COMMUTE

Commuting is a part of daily life for many working professionals. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2011 American Community Survey, the average American spends 25 minutes commuting to work each day. However, Citi’s 2015 ThankYou Premier Commuter Index says the average commute time in the United States is 45 minutes. The reasons for that disparity are unknown, though if one accepts the latter statistic as more accurate than the yearsold Census Bureau data, it’s fair to say Americans spend far more time getting to work than their neighbors to the north. But commutes in Canada also can be lengthy, as Canada’s National Household Survey found that, in 2011, commuters in Canada spent an average of roughly 25 minutes traveling to work each day. While many people enjoy their daily commutes, feeling it’s a time to prepare for the day ahead and, if using public transportation, to relax and let someone else do the work, it’s fair to say the majority of commuters would like to spend less time getting to and from work. Many would also like to spend less money getting to and from their offices, and finding ways to conserve fuel is an effective way to do just that.

Frederick Douglass, Iconic Rochesterian Remains as Relevant as Ever

BY SUZIE WELLS

According to History, Black History Month originated with Negro History week in 1926, corresponding with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. By the late 1960s, with the civil rights movement and growing awareness of Black identity, the week evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses around the US.

President Ford officially recognized the month in 1976 to “honor the too-o en neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Today, we honor the contributions and legacy of activists and civil rights pioneers, as well as leaders in industry, politics, science, culture, and more.

Looking around Rochester and Western New York, one historical figure stands taller than most, and we are proud to have had Frederick Douglass in our fair city for 25 years during the height of his activism.

ere’s a reason his name pairs with Susan B. Anthony’s on the iconic 490 bridge.

According to the City of Rochester, the first eight-foot bronze monument of Douglass (created by Stanley W. Edwards) was installed in Highland Park in 1899 and became the first civic monument in the US to honor an African American man. To celebrate the 2018 bicentennial of Douglass’ birth, a collaborative initiative, the “Year of Douglass,” celebrated Douglass’ achievements and legacy.

Rochester artist, Olivia Kim, created thirteen life-size monuments of Douglass that were placed at historically significant locations around Rochester, paying homage to Douglass’ impact on the community. is public art exhibition and history project aimed to “recognize and reflect on the living legacy of the selffreed man whose 25 years [1847-1872] in Rochester resulted in some of his most important life’s work.”

According to the initiative, the installation at the Rochester airport, now aptly named for Douglass, is particularly significant,asthe1899monumentwasoriginallyinstalledatRochester’s main train station to convey the message to all who arrived that we in this city salute Douglass and his keystone principles of honesty, justice, freedom, education, and equity. Today, all visitors to Rochester see these values front and center.

Smithsonian’s Janelle Dixon says we need to understand Frederick Douglass now more than ever, as a new generation of “Americans who never really thought about race or slavery recognize for the first time that they’re foundational to the United States and the American experience.” Particularly in the wake of racial turmoil making the news across the country to this day, Douglass’ legacy and historical significance cannot be overstated.

A former slave turned abolitionist, orator, and writer/publisher, Douglass constantly evolved as a thinker, writer, and orator, Dixon says. In Rochester, he helped with Underground Railroad activities,

including housing runaway slaves in his own home. He published the abolition newsletter, e North Star, and Frederick Douglass’ Paper. He also published his famous autobiographies, telling his own story and proving his mettle as a writer and thinker.

He supported women’s suffrage as the abolition and suffrage movements ran tandem across the state and nation at the time. According to History, he was notably the only African American to attend the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, at which he declared, “In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power of the government of the world.” Not one to mince words, he was notably vocal and passionate about matters of justice and equality for any American.

Douglass’ life’s work serves as an inspiration to those who seek equality and a more just society. He was one of the nation’s most powerful voices against slavery, and as Yohuru Williams argues for History, Douglass “never shied away from hard truths,” keeping Americans “focused on the horrors he and millions of others endured as enslaved Americans: the relentless indignities, the physical violence, the families ripped apart. And he blasted the hypocrisy of a slave-holding nation touting liberty and justice for all.”

To Douglass, a staunch abolitionist, “Slavery [is] the enemy of both the slave and the slaveholder,” but in his West India Emancipation speech, given in our neighboring Canandaigua in August 1857, Douglassrecognizedthatwithoutstruggle,therewouldnotbeprogress, arguably because those in power will not concede without demand.

For the 24th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, in 1886, Douglass delivered a rousing address in Washington, D.C., during which he said, “where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”

May we all recognize the legacy of Frederick Douglass and continue to stand up for the honesty, justice, freedom, education, and equity he devoted his life to the pursuit of.

If you don’t have a legally issued handicap permit hanging on your mirror, DON’T park in ANY handicap space. Period! Simple as that! Those who feel they’re entitled or simply don’t care about others need to be ticketed!

Town Workers

Wing Woes in Western NY

Thank you to all the workers who put in the time and effort to keep our roads clean and safe when it’s snowing. Although we haven’t had much snow (yet) this year comparatively, the dedication is there and appreciated!

I left the PNW for [local region], lured by tales of legendary [chicken] wings. What a letdown! Here, in [location], I’ve faced nothing but one culinary catastrophe after another. [Other state]’s wings were a crispy, saucy revelation, but here, they’re as lackluster as a foggy day in Seattle. I’ve searched high and low in [local town], expecting each wing joint to redeem this city’s saucy honor. Instead, I’ve been met with wings that are to authentic [chicken] wings what instant coffee is to espresso— merely a shadow. They lack the crunch, the kick, the soul. The question nags at me: How can the home of the [chicken] wing serve up such pale imitations? I’m on a quest for that perfect bite, the one that transports me to wing nirvana, but alas, I find myself lost in a wilderness of wing disappointment. My plea is simple: Give me the fiery, the tangy, the transcendent wings I know exist somewhere in your midst.

Here’s a Tip

* When putting in new plants, you can tear strips of tin foil, then use toothpicks or small stakes to pin them to the ground in your new garden. It will keep the cats out, and can even discourage birds.

* “My kids are long past wagon size, but their wagon isn’t done hauling yet. I put it to good use in the garden. I can park it in the shed stocked with all the things I might need. It’s very handy.” -- A.A. in Florida

* To sharpen a pair of worn scissors, try cutting through a piece of aluminum foil that is doubled or tripled over. Be sure to clean and dry scissors you use in the kitchen.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the ASPCA, the number of dogs and cats euthanized in United States animal shelters has declined significantly since 2011. The ASPCA reports that approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized each year. That number is high, but it marks an improvement over 2011, when roughly 2.6 million dogs and cats were euthanized. The ASPCA credits part of this decline in euthanizations to an increase in animal adoptions and greater success at returning stray animals to their owners. Recent data indicates that roughly 3.2 million shelter animals are adopted each year, with a 50/50 split between dogs and cats. A greater emphasis on adoption can help reduce euthanization statistics even further.

COVID Vaccines Do Not Increase the Risk of Cancer

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am looking for your opinion regarding the new COVID booster. I am not opposed to vaccinations, as I have had the initial two shots and one booster. About 18 months ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and have since had my prostate removed. My current PSA readings are undetectable, for which I’m grateful. I was also diagnosed with melanoma 12 months ago (along with multiple basil spots). Biopsy results showed that all were successfully removed and were within positive margins, for which I’m also grateful.

I want to get the new COVID booster for obvious reasons, but I’m reading that the boosters are creating cancer recurrence (including prostate cancer and melanoma) in some patients. Clearly, I don’t want either to return, but I also don’t want to get COVID. Can you help with my dilemma and offer a recommendation? -- T.I.

ANSWER: I have also heard people making that claim, but it isn’t supported by evidence. Both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society agree that there is no evidence, nor a scientific reason, suggesting that COVID-19 vaccinations increase the risk of cancer growth, whether it was the first one or an additional one. (By the way, if you saw, like I did, the term “turbo cancer,” you can safely disregard the claim, since this isn’t a real entity. That’s fearmongering.)

The COVID vaccine, whether it’s an mRNA or a traditional vaccine (like the Novavax), is a very limited exposure of a critical protein in our immune system to help “teach” the immune system how to recognize a COVID infection. The vaccine provides pretty good protection against infections for a few months and excellent protection against severe infections (including hospitalization and death) for close to a year. Yearly vaccination seems like it might be reasonable, although public health experts have not decided on a longterm COVID vaccination plan.

People with cancer are particularly recommended to get vaccinated, since both cancer and its treatments may affect the immune system and make infections more serious. However, chemotherapy may affect the body’s ability to successfully react to the vaccine, so your oncologist can help you decide the optimal time to get the vaccine if you are undergoing chemo.

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.

Flower Meanings

If you would like to customize your arrangement of funeral flowers further, there are more flower meanings that might express your sentiments in this time of grief and remembrance. Though they may not be the traditional funeral flowers, any flowers that share your sympathy with the bereaved and celebrate the deceased’s memory are appropriate for a funeral. The xeranthemum symbolizes eternity and immortality. Cyclamens say “goodbye”¤? and forget-me-nots send a message of faithful love and memories. Marjoram conveys comfort and consolation. The nasturtium celebrates patriotism. If you are aware of flowers that were a favorite of the deceased or that a member of the bereaved family particularly favors, those blooms may also be a good choice for a funeral gift. Whatever flowers you choose to send, your thoughtful message of sympathy will certainly be a comfort to those who are mourning the loss of a loved one.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

When Dog Walking is a Tug of War

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog Trey is a 3-year-old mixed breed, mostly Lab, who pulls at his leash every time we go out for a walk. I don’t want to use a choke collar, because it seems painful and counterproductive to punish him every time he tries to pull ahead. How can I get Trey to walk next to me and not tug all the time? -- Bill in New Orleans

DEAR BILL: Dogs love being outside and exploring. at’s a big reason why Trey is tugging at his leash -- he wants to run and explore everything in the world. But that’s not possible in the city. And for the sake of your leash-holding arm, getting Trey to relax is a big deal.

You’re probably saying, “Oh, this is where Sam tells us to reinforce basic obedience training.” And you’re right. It’s important for Trey to follow your commands, especially if he pulls the leash out of your hand. But that’s just one element to leash training a dog.

pet and we’ll feature it. Submit online at gvpennysaver.com, Share With Us • Or mail to:

When you pull on the leash to slow Trey down, he will automatically pull in the opposite direction. is is a reflex action. e more you pull, the more they dig in.

So instead, try a misdirection-reward strategy. Give the command “heel” and have Trey walk calmly beside you, with the leash slack. Whenever he gets ahead of you (before the tug of war starts), stop and change direction. He’ll turn to go in the direction you’re heading, and when he does, give him lots of praise and maybe (at first) a little treat. Do this every time he tries to move ahead of you.

If Trey tends to pull really hard, change from a collar and leash to a chest harness. is prevents injury and can make it easier to control him.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RETURNING TO SCHOOL

Adults who decide to return to school after a long layoff are following a popular path. According to the education resource Education Corner, a growing number of career colleges and vocational training schools now offer bachelor’s and graduate degree programs gearedtowardworkingadults.

People return to school for various reasons, including the chance to learn new skills or further develop their existing skills. Some return to school because they are changing careers, while others may have lost a job or desire a promotion and feel that attaining a higher level of education or new skills can make reaching that goal more likely.

Adults who hope to return to schoolmightbesurprisedtolearn that the educational landscape has changed considerably since theywerelastinaclassroom.

DID YOU KNOW?

AccordingtoGallup’s2021EconomyandPersonalFinancesurvey,theaverageindividual in the United States is retiring earlier than many people might expect. Gallup found that the average retirement age was 62, which is two years earlier than the working respondents indicated they planned to retire. Canadians are retiring a little bit later than their American counterparts, as Statistics Canada reports the average retirement age in Canada is just over 63 and a half.The average retirement age is worth noting, as studies routinely find that many working professionals greatest concern about retiring is that they won’t have enough money saved to meet their needs.By recognizing that they may end up retiring earlier than they initially planned, professionals can make a concerted effort to save more money in the years ahead.
