EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED WHEN RENOVATING Delays or schedule changes: Even the best contractors cannot control every aspect of the job. They rely on subcontractors and vendors to do portions of the work. Materials may not always arrive on time, or they may fall short of homeowners’ expectations. This can push back the project schedule. Homeowners should hope for everything to be done on time, but it can be less stressful if homeowners anticipate delays and be a pleasant surprise if there are no delays.

ECOTOURISM ON THE RISE

According to the International Ecotourism Society, ecotourism is defined as responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of local people and involves interpretation and education. Ecotourism aims to promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for nature, localsocietiesandtheircultures. In a 2015 study of the travel industry by the consulting firm Deloitte, travelers expressed a heightened interest in spending on eco-friendly travel. The study also found that an overwhelming majority of business travelers (95 percent) felt that sustainability will become a defining issue for the hospitality industry in years to come. In fact, in a 2015 report titled “Travel & Tourism 2015: Connecting Global Climate Action,” the World Travel & Tourism Council reported that travelers are increasingly expecting tourism businesses to become sustainable in the same way they expect complementary Wi-Fi connectivity in hotels and online check-ins for air travel. Such information should be encouraging for environmentalists and travelers alike, as data indicates efforts to promote eco-friendly travel are proving effective and increasingly driving travelers to demand that tourism-based businesses meet their demands for travel that’s both rewarding andbeneficialtotheplanet.

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Brown patches: The National Association of Landscape Professionals notes that brown patches in a lawn often develop after heavy snowfall. Such patches tend to develop where large piles of shoveled snow were deposited, so homeowners can inspect alongside driveways and walkways. The NALP advises homeowners to rake away part of the brown patches first. If green tissue is emerging beneath, then the lawn will likely be fine in due time. However, if the area beneath is not green and surrounding areas are already turning green, homeowners may need to rake up dead tissue before applying topsoil to the affected spots. Once topsoil is spread, some grass seed can be spread and the grass should regain its green glory.

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 reducerelianceonairconditioningsystemsandmakeitmorecomfortable tospendtimeoutdoorsduringthesummer.

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’sworthofoxygenforasmanyasfourpeople,whilealsostoring13 pounds of carbon per year.

Q&A Master Gardeners with the

When is too early to plant directly outside? How do I protect my early plants from the frost we may very well still have?

There are at least three reasons for waiting until at least mid-May for planting young plants outdoors unprotected: you want to avoid too cold weather, you want the soil to be warm enough, and you want your plants to be big and tough enough to survive. A covering like a cloth sheet can prevent frost from damaging plants if the soil is warm, but if the temperature falls below freezing, the plants are still likely to die.

The average freeze date is the end of April. Soil temperature at planting time should

from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County

be at least 50°. Your young plants should have at least three sets of leaves, and they need to get “hardened off” with gradual exposure to outdoor conditions of sun, wind, and changing temperatures. Often there is no frost after mid-May, but you need to check the long-range weather forecast before planting: the nighttime low temperature should be above 40°; 50° is even better for most young plants. Plants including broccoli, lettuce, and other greens and root vegetables can be planted outside in late April, while warm weather plants like tomatoes and squash need to wait.

A cold frame could enable you to start your plants outdoors. You could buy one, or some people build their own. This link gives you more information on a cold frame, which is heated by the sun, and hot beds, which are heated by electric mats: https://cceschuyler. org/resources/cold-frames-hot-bedschemung-county

RAVES

Thank you DePaul Rosa's Villas and Roberts Wesleyan University of Chili, NY

I am an elderly, 78 years young woman who lives at DePaul Rosa’s Villas in LeRoy, currently attending sessions of Occupational Therapy training presented by students from Roberts Wesleyan University. Each of these students have added value to my life with their refreshing outlook on the future of their careers. I am so thankful for these sessions and appreciate the students’ willingness to interact with the tenants of this facility. When the students depart from the sessions, I feel good as if I had a hug. The students brought happiness and joy to my day. There are a few tenants who are not from this area who feel isolated with their medical issues. The students bring hope, optimism and give inner strength to the elderly. The students are an inspiration to all of us attending the sessions, as they go above and beyond with care and consideration. The future lies before them and God bless these young students.

Thank You Honeoye Falls Lima Students

My friends and I went to the Senior lunch and preview of Guys & Dolls. We were amazed. The lunch was excellent! The student servers were polite and they did a wonderful job making people feel welcomed. The play was so much fun. The students, actors, musicians and behind the scene workers were very professional and the play was perfection. My friends were so happy to come for the afternoon and had a great time. We are all looking forward to next year. We had so much fun from the time we walked in the school until we left.

Great Service!

Throughout the winter the folks working at Kwik Fill in Lima always did their jobs with smiles on their faces and a nice greeting and thank you, so thank you all for your good work attitude!

Junk Area

I am writing this with the concern that a recently appointed Historical Area of the village has turned into a junk yard. There are now 2-3 containers filled with junk, 2-3 RVs (not running) filled with junk. 2 full sized boats. Busses filled with junk. Non-running car, 2 plows, multiple lawn mowers and even more junk. This has become an eye sore not only for the residents and the entire village, but is this what we want people to see as they visit our village? THIS IS ALLOWED IN A HISTORICAL AREA? Why has the village board or the mayor not said anything? I have a good idea why not. This has brought feral cats, mice, rats, raccoons, and even skunks to the area. It has become a hoarding area. This needs to be cleaned up. Very sad for an area that even when it was empty added character to the village. Now it has become a junk yard!!

Donating

Why do multibillion dollar corporations have their employees solicit at the checkout for donations? Whether you’re put on the spot for an answer or the computer’s check out screen has a button to donate money for whatever the charity of the week is, do corporations really need tax write offs? Major corporations are notorious for avoiding taxes. If you like to donate, please send it directly to the charity or cause. You’ll feel much better for your participation.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

APRIL 16–22

Most often unpaid, volunteers generously donate a part of their lives to do the work that nobody else likes to do — cleaning up after the event, fostering shelter dogs, chaperoning field trips, or helping the librarian; there are so many areas requiring volunteers. This month, we salute them for their unwavering services to businesses and communities and hold aloft their examples to inspire young and adults towards volunteerism.

COLOR ME!

1974

National Volunteer Week and Month is first held in the United States.

FUN FACTS

It fills critical gaps in service

Millions of nonprofits

Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to host events or held programs as easily as we do today. Since most of these events are extremely important for communities and businesses, volunteers fill a critical gap in service.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Adopting an Older Cat Can Bring Unexpected Issues

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We recently adopted a 12-year-old orange tomcat. Abel is neutered and well behaved, but he has some health issues that we didn’t bargain for. He’s overweight (we’re working on it) and recently needed a tooth pulled. He gets ear and eye infections frequently. I’m not about to give him up, but I wanted others to know that a senior cat o en has more medical needs than younger cats. e tradeo is that he’s a sweet, gentle cat, well adapted to humans, and seems less inclined to escape from the house than a younger cat might. -- Kelly B., Salt Lake City

DEAR KELLY: ank you for sharing your experience! Abel sounds like a wonderful cat.

Senior cats, age 11 to 14, do need extra monitoring. ey o en have health issues speci c to older cats, and can be more susceptible to infections, bad teeth, etc. Pretty much all the same issues humans face as we grow old!

As you’ve noted, Abel’s diet is really important. Not just to lose weight and keep it o , but to make sure he’s getting the right nutrition for a senior cat. A cat food formulated for older cats is helpful, but owners should work with the veterinarian to determine the amount and type of food to give their cat each day. Lots of protein is a must, as this article by VCA points out: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ feeding-mature-senior-and-geriatric-cats

Dehydration is another factor for older cats. Empty and re ll your cat’s water bowl each morning and monitor how much the amount decreases throughout the day to determine how much he drinks.

Finally, monitor your cat’s litter box habits. Write them down and take them to the next vet checkup to make sure there are no hidden health problems cropping up.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

Living Long Lives in the Blue Zones

In several parts of the world there are large populations that regularly live into their 90s and even pass 100 years. ey’re called Blue Zones, those parts of the world where seniors live longer, healthier lives. It started as a National Geographic project to look for the secrets to longevity. ey were able to identify ve locations: Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; and Okinawa, Japan.

Fascinated scientists began to study these over-100 people and concluded that they had nine commonalities. ey are:

• e Blue Zoners move and exercise naturally, working in gardens and going about their lives with frequent walks.

• ey have a purpose to each day.

• ey do what they must to avoid stress. Some pray, some have happy hour, some take naps, but they intentionally do something.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* Overdo it on the garlic or onions and need to freshen your breath? Try roasted coffee beans instead of gum or mints. Israeli scientists have found that coffee can inhibit the bacteria that leads to bad breath, but if you prefer drinking it to chewing, you’ll do best to take it black.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Complex Jargon Prevents Patient From Understanding Diagnosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: After many bouts of pain in my left leg, I was referred for an MRI. They diagnosed me with left lumbar radiculitis, spondylolisthesis and lumbar spondylosis. There are many people in my independent living facility who have gotten similar diagnoses. As an RN with a master’s in nursing education, I have a question: When the diagnoses are made, do doctors not explain the problem in layman’s terms? I only found out what my list of diagnoses were from a physical therapist, to whom I was referred. -- N.F.P.

ANSWER: Doctors certainly should explain their diagnoses in language appropriate for their patients. We can forget that the language we use is sometimes incomprehensible, but that’s not an excuse. A patient should always feel comfortable in saying they don’t understand a diagnosis, or any other word or phrase their doctor uses, and ask for more explanation. Many of the most effective communicators I have seen not only ask the patient whether they understood, but have made sure their patient can explain it back to them. In your case, these specific diagnoses are generally not well-known by nonexperts, and I am disappointed that they did not give you an explanation. Lumbar radiculitis is essentially sciatica -- it’s an inflammation of the large bundle of nerve roots, which usually causes pain down the leg into particular locations, based on which nerves are being affected. It is not a specific diagnosis, as it doesn’t say what is causing the damage to the nerves. Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra overlaps another one below it (front to back, not side to side). Very mild spondylolisthesis will not cause any symptoms, but more severe cases can cause damage to the nerve roots. Spondylosis of the lumbar vertebrae is a nonspecific term signifying degeneration of the spine, usually due to osteoarthritis and often including degeneration of the disks in between the vertebrae. So, these diagnoses together suggest that you have osteoarthritis of the spine, along with a displacement of one vertebra over another, causing damage to the nerve roots of the spine. These conditions would be likely to cause the back and leg pain you have on your left side.

A Brief Glimpse into the Mind and Inspiration that is Brighton Poet, Denise Thompson-Slaughter

BY SUZIE WELLS

Irst met Denise in creation of my Mother Muse publications many moons ago, and I have since worked with her on her poetry collection, Sixty-ish: Full Circle, her mystery novella, Mystery Gi s, and her recent memoir, Cleaning the Coincidence Closet: Explaining the ‘Inexplicable.’ Denise has always been up for themed challenges, and we can always count on her solid voice to add perspective to a collection.

When did you start writing poetry?

I started writing humorous poetry, stories, and plays for a lark in middle school and writing poetry more seriously in high school. Who was a favorite teacher/mentor in your poetic journey?

An English teacher in 12th grade let us have a free period to write every Monday. It was wonderful to have that unstructured hour and just be able to write anything to turn in. She was very complimentary about my work and told me I was a natural writer and never to give it up. at was a vital boost for my con dence.

What inspires you to write?

What inspires me to write poetry is usually a strong emotion, concept, or memory—something that can be encapsulated in the space of a poem. I’m rarely self-disciplined enough to just sit down and say “okay, now I’m going to write a poem.” It has to be meaningful to me. O en the urge will come if I’m out in nature. If I’m working on prose, which is a longer form, it’s di erent, of course. en I’m more regular in my habits.

How would you describe your writing habits?

I’ll o en scribble on any paper that’s handy a few lines that come to me, then I’ll develop it more fully later. With short poetry, I don’t type it until at least the third dra . With prose, I’ll carry the topic or image in my head for a while and then start typing a dra . I type more and more because arthritis in my hands and wrist now makes sustained handwriting painful.

What are your favorite topics or themes to write about?

A lot of my writing is about personal experiences I’ve had, social justice issues, speculative concepts, spirituality, or the paranormal. Do you ever worry or overthink about anything in particular when you write?

With poetry, I sometimes go back and forth about the best place to break lines. A larger thing I feel frustrated with is the apparent popularity of very obscure modern and academic poetry. I think most lay readers have given up on poetry because of it. As a poet, I want regular people to be able to relate to my words.

What are your favorite/greatest accomplishments as a writer/poet/ human being?

As a writer, I think my greatest accomplishment was my book on the paranormal and experiences I’ve had. Cleaning the Coincidence Closet: Exploring the ‘Inexplicable’ (Spirited Muse Press, 2021) is the longest piece I’ve ever written (266 pages plus notes and bibliography). It took me about twenty years of research and writing, which went so slowly because my kids were still at home and I had a part-time job. I’m proud I never gave up on it. I’m also proud of my two other longterm accomplishments: raising two children with special challenges and keeping a marriage going for 42 years through a lot of steep ups and downs!

What role does creative writing and/or poetry play in everyday life?

I can’t claim to write every day unless I’m in the middle of a project, but

it does keep me sane. It’s the way I’ve always processed big questions and emotions. e icing on the cake is if it entertains or helps others at the same time.

What advice would you give an aspiring writer?

• Keep writing and don’t give up on getting published. I’ve had things accepted for publication a er being rejected by many other journals. In fact, on the twenty-seventh journal I tried, a short memoir piece I wrote a decade ago was nally accepted. Keep sending pieces out because it’s just a matter of nding the right market at the right time.

• Keep good records as well as a list of editors who say they liked your work. Send them more.

• Don’t count on making any money at this. If you don’t love it, don’t do it.

Garden of the Familiar

By Denise ompson-Slaughter

One can know a person too well, can lose the rose through a thicket of daily thorns, serrated edges, the brown dry seasons, winter stalks and wormholes. I must search for your sleeping buds. Do you remember me when I bloomed?

STEPS INVOLVED WITH ESTATE PLANNING

An aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements. Many people prefer to make their own funeral and burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall on the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning may include choosing a burial plot, selecting a casket, indicating cremation, and paying for everything in advance so there is no financial burden on surviving family members.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

* Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.

* Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it. -- Y.P. in Illinois

* Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a run, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong but gentle enough to not cause any harm. -- E.S. in Wisconsin

* Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds, and still get that tumble-dried softness.

-- M.N. in Missouri

* Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!

* Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow container that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar is cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.
