According to the U.S. Department of Labor and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, registered nurse is the most common occupation for women in the United States labor force. Slightly less than 2.1 million women worked as registered nurses in 2017, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Such figures are harder to come by in regard to Canada, but Statista reports that the labor participation rate among women in Canada in 2018 was right around 64 percent. That rate marks a slight decrease from its 21st century peak in 2005, when 66.7 percent of women were active members of the Canadian workforce. In the United States, more than two million women worked as secretaries or administrative assistants in 2017, making these professions the second most common occupation among female workers. Elementary and middle school teachers was the third most common occupation for female professionals, employing more than 1.9 million women in 2017. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau also indicates that women have the lion’s share of jobs in an assortment of professions, including preschool and kindergarten teachers, secretaries and administrative assistants, childcare workers, and dental assistants. Women hold at least 92 percent of the jobs in each of those professions in the United States.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

HOW TO AVOID THE COLD COMFORT OF A DRAFTY HOUSE

For those who live in older homes, the transition to colder weather can be extra disheartening, as the vision of expensive heating bills, chilly rooms and drafty windows dance in their heads. However, it’s easy to change the outlook fromcoldtocozywithafewsimple DIY solutions.

The most effective way to improve the comfort level in your home is to properly insulate. Insulation can beinadequateinolderhomes.Over time, it can settle and compact, creating gaps. Topping up attic insulation will help keep the warm air in, reducing heating bills and preventing stress on your furnace. For easy installation, homeowners andprofessionalsalikerecommend a stone wool batt insulation. For attics, aim for an r-value of R-50 or adepthof16inches.

A little preparation can go a long way to keep the cold at bay. Seal out drafts by replacing worn weatherstripping and caulking along windows, doors, baseboards, and trim. For other ways to beat the cold, consider inexpensive window insulation kits along with thicker drapes, and don’t forget to reverse ceiling fans to push warm air back down.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* A common issue with blood donation -- along with other types of charitable contributions -- is that if donors don’t know the recipient, it’s harder to convince them that donating is beneficial. Therefore, in an effort to encourage more young people to give blood, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a text when their donation has been dispensed to someone in need, providing proof that it’s going to good use.

DID YOU KNOW?

Many an amateur landscaper has encountered grubs while tending to their lawns, but even the most attentive green thumber may have a lawn infested with grubs and not know it. According to the pest and weed experts at Roundup® , grubs often go unnoticed until late summer, when they’ve already done substantial damage to a lawn. Oddly enough, one of the telltalessignsofagrubinfestation is not the grubs themselves but the animals looking to dine on them. Fully grown grubs make for hearty meals, so homeowners who notice raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and/or birds digging up their lawns may have a grub infestation. That’s because these unwanted guests like to dine on mature grubs who have spent summer feasting on organic matterinthesoil.Anothersignofa possible grub infestation is a lawn that feels spongy when stepped on. Patches of dead grass that peel back easily are a sign that grubs have eaten the roots that keep healthy grass in place.

STAY SAFE WHEN LANDSCAPING

Homeowners should not assume they know how to use all of the tools necessary to maintain lush lawns and bountiful gardens. Familiarize yourself with the proper operation of manual and motorized equipment by reading the owner’s manual thoroughly, making special note of recommended safety guidelines.

Take some time to locate the power buttons and other parts by comparing them to illustrations in the guide. Once you feel comfortable handling the equipment, then you can begin to use it.

Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.

Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot.

Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

How to Greet Other Dogs on the Street

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a sweet but somewhat rambunctious little mutt, “Karla,” who is about 13 months old. e problem is that she wants to jump and bark at other dogs when we’re out for a walk. How can I calm her down? -- Jen in Duluth, Georgia

DEAR JEN: Reactivity is natural behavior for a puppy that loves to play with other dogs, but of course, it’s not desirable behavior. Jumping and barking can trigger an aggressive response from some dogs, or stress out other dogs. It can scare humans.

Fortunately, it’s a behavior that you can moderate with a specific, daily training regime that will teach Karla to stay calm on the leash.

First, gather your tools: A sturdy leash that is about 5 feet long (no retractable leashes allowed), a harness and a pocketful of Karla’s favorite treats, cut into tiny pieces. I recommend the harness over a collar because it allows you to strongly control Karla if she starts jumping, without risking an injury to her throat.

Next, teach and reinforce three crucial commands: sit, stay and heel. From the moment you put on Karla’s harness and leash, to when you take them off at the end of the walk, she needs to follow your commands. Karla should sit calmly while you attach and remove the leash. During the walk, she should remain next to you, with a little slack in the leash. If she starts to tug ahead, stop, command her to sit and, once she sits, start off again, giving the command “heel.”

Keep the training positive, and remember that it will take time and consistency. As she learns what you expect from her, Karla will become a great walking companion.

Jennifer Maloney: A Poet of Authenticity and Resilience

BY SUZIE WELLS

In the tapestry of the Rochester poetry scene, Jennifer Maloney is a vibrant thread, weaving together personal narratives with profound reflections on life, love, and human resilience. From her humble beginnings in grammar school to her accolades as a published author, Maloney’s journey as a poet is a testament to the power of authenticity and creative expression.

Maloney recalls childhood days spent cra ing short stories that gradually evolved into the lyrical beauty of poetry. Embracing the fluidity of free verse, she found her artistic voice, choosing to express herself in a style unbound by traditional structures.

For Maloney, inspiration is a continual process, nurtured by a dedicated community of fellow poets and the timeless verses of literary icons. rough regular classes and shared readings, she finds solace in the transformative power of poetry. She says one of her biggest inspirations is the Greek poet Yannis Ritsos, whose “work opens me up and allows my imagination to fly.”

Describing her writing habits as a delightful concoction of spontaneity and intentionality, Maloney reveals her creative process as a fusion of diverse influences. From everyday encounters to profound introspection, she draws inspiration from the myriad facets of life, embracing each moment as a potential source of poetic revelation. She says, “For me, writing is o en a kind of happy accident—a prompt here, a news article there, a mis-heard quote that intrigues me. Dump ‘em in a bowl and stir!”

Maloney recalls a poet telling her that “writers generally write about the same few things over and over through their lives, as though perhaps trying to solve a problem.” She says her most successful work is very personal. She writes about love, sex, addiction, and the enduring legacy of personal trauma. rough raw, unfiltered verses, she confronts the shadows of her past with unwavering honesty, inviting readers into the depths of her emotional landscape.

Beyond the confines of solitary creation, Maloney finds a warm, supportive community within Just Poets, Inc. in Rochester. eir Second Wednesday gatherings at Before Your Quiet Eyes Bookstore in Rochester serve as a sanctuary for poets to share their cra , fostering an environment of warmth and encouragement.

As a published author of Evidence of Fire: Poems & Stories, a hybrid chapbook, and Don’t Let God Know You are Singing: Poems and Stories, a full-length hybrid collection, Maloney stands as a testament to the transformative power of artistic expression. Her work resonates

with readers, offering a poignant reflection on the human experience and the resilience of the human spirit.

For Maloney, poetry transcends the realm of mere artistic expression; it is a lifeline, a source of solace and self-discovery in a world fraught with uncertainty. In advocating for greater support and recognition for the arts, she underscores the vital role of creative expression in fostering mental well-being and societal cohesion.

To aspiring writers, Maloney offers a simple yet profound piece of advice: “Go deep and be real,” explaining that when she is her most authentic self in her writing, she most successfully resonates with audiences.

As she continues to chart her path as a poet, Jennifer Maloney remains a beacon of authenticity and resilience in an ever-changing literary landscape, a poet whose words linger long a er the final line has been read. rough her words, she invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and reflection, reminding us of the enduring power of poetry to illuminate the human experience.

Maloney was a featured reader at the Webster Arboretum Poetry Trail Eclipse Poetry reading in April and has been a featured reader at events around Rochester. She reads at Books, Etc. in Macedon on April 28th. Find her on Facebook at Jennifer Maloney Author. Got it Bad (originally published in PoetryBay)

I got a fist-sized heart made for backseat brawls, I got a broken-nosed love—a boxer, a gangster, gunning in the streets—I got a glass-jaw Johnny, he hurts me, he holds me, oh hold me, baby, you better hold me back—I’ve been waiting for this fight all night, the purple bruise of your mouth, its bite, the backhand smudge that tries to wipe me from your lips. I got a cauliflower ear, it hears the drumbeat of this love, the tattoo of it marching in the street, its stomping feet, its jackboots hammer the concrete outside your house, wakes the neighborhood at five am, got all the babies cryin’—their mothers throw cold water out the windows, their fathers threaten violence—I got a fist-sized heart, it swings, it connects. I got a knuckle sandwich for the family upstairs. A safecracking love, a love that blows up in your face, sweating dynamite, unstable, it could go off at any second, I got an ungentle love! A love that jimmies open windows, steals cars and joyrides, moons the passersby, a love that’s sticking out its tongue—bully love, broken love, loud love, bad love, ten pounds of love squirting out of a five-pound bag, messy love. Heavyweight love, prizefighting love, KO-ing all comers with my fist-sized heart.

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.

Here’s a Tip

* It’s tough to eat home-cooked meals as a single eater. Most recipes are geared for multiple portions, and you probably don’t want to eat the same thing for five days straight. Try this: Get together with some friends and have a potluck. Each guest brings an entree and at least two side dishes, in extra-large portions, and his or her own le overs containers. Split the food up amongst the guests, packaged as meals. Everyone can cook once and eat for a week.

* Did you have too much summer fun last year? Be ready to soothe that sunkissed skin this year with frozen aloe vera. Use an ice-cube tray to freeze aloe vera gel, and let the soothing begin!

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Looking at the Causes Behind Mobility Issues

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 79 and can move around without any problem. I walk five days a week, and my weight is normal. However, it seems to me that many people -- some younger than I am -- have mobility problems. I wonder what causes this problem. Is it lack of exercise, genes, weight, etc.? -- E.G.

ANSWER: Be very grateful that you can move around without a problem, as most people in their late 70s do have mobility issues. The most common reason is osteoarthritis, but there are many causes, such as neurological diseases, cardiovascular issues and other types of arthritis. While it is true that not exercising can lead to poor mobility, most of the time, it isn’t a person’s fault that they have difficulty with mobility. Arthritis can happen to a person of any weight and at any level of exercise.

Exercise helps the vast majority of people improve their mobility, but there are exceptions. Many people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome are intolerant of exercise, and overdoing it can lead their condition to worsen. This syndrome has also been known as systemic exertion intolerance disease. Well-meaning physicians, friends and family might have recommended exercise to a patient, which could have caused them to have a flare-up.

Although being very overweight increases the risk of arthritis, having a normal weight doesn’t prevent its development. Genetic influences are very complicated, but they also have a role in the development of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can also come about as a result of significant trauma to a joint.

COMMON CAUSES OF TOOTHACHES

Orthodontic appliances: A common cause of discomfort, orthodontic devices can cause toothaches. The pain is most noticeable immediately after an adjustment, but it may ease as the mouth grows accustomed to the wires or pressure.

Madelynn and Kellen Keenan

Welcome to Selma

2000 B.C.

Raisins are produced by the Ancient Egyptians.

Oats were cultivated thousands of years ago and were actually used as fodder for animals. Oats were rarely consumed in North America but in parts of northern Europe and Scotland they were used in porridge.

1896

OATMEAL RAISIN

Before the oatmeal cookie came into existence, there was oatcake. Since Roman times this was popular in Scotland and it was relied on for an energy boost. Apparently, during wartime, soldiers would carry oatcakes with them as a quick snack.

The First Oatmeal Cookie | Fannie Merritt Farmer creates the first-ever oatmeal cookie in the U.S.

Over half of the world’s raisins come from California. Although Napa is known worldwide for its wine-producing grapes, the Golden State’s raisin capital is actually the city of Selma— just southeast of Fresno. This area produces over 350,000 tons of raisins annually.

There are good people out there!

VENT BRIGHTER

Pharmacy disappointment

On Good Friday, I went out for a fish fry at a local well-known restaurant and had a wonderful meal. When the server asked me if I needed anything else, I said just the check. She said it’s been taken care of, along with the tip. I have no other way to say thank you to whomever did that, so thank you! I’m in my 80s and that’s never happened before, so I say there are good people out there!

Mustangs contribution to the Pop Up Pantry

I would like to thank Mrs. Auble and her students in the Entrepreneurship Class for collecting and giving food to the Pop Up Pantry in Dansville on April 15th. I was one of the fortunate ones to receive your bag of goods. It not only helped out my household but three other households that were in need of food. So, thank you again! An older Dansville citizen.

The large grocery store pharmacy I use in [local town] is always so backed up with customers. There is often a very long line inside at the counter as well as at the drive-thru window. I never use the drive-thru because of how busy it is, but the other day I decided to utilize it because there was only one car at the window. I was the first car waiting behind the car being serviced at the window. That car took 19, yes 19, minutes at the window! I did not have the option to leave because during the first few minutes of waiting, several cars (at least 7 or 8) took their place in line behind me. So I was stuck there. If there is an issue with an order that is taking that long, why can’t pharmacists ask the car/customer to pull around or come inside so that the other customers in line are not stuck for that long? I only decided to use the drive-thru that day because I was tired of waiting in line at the counter, and thought with just one car ahead of me it would be quicker. What a mistake.

Animals in grocery stores and carts

I understand that many people love their pets like family. Pets, however, do NOT belong in stores where groceries are sold. Regulations are posted at the entrances of all of the groceries in our area stating that service dogs ONLY are welcome. Pets, therapy and emotional support animals are NOT service dogs!

The potential risk of contamination from fur, dander, or pathogens is a valid concern, especially concerning food items. These animals especially should be prohibited from being placed in carts. Pets may carry parasites and germs, as well as leave fur, dander andallergens, and a cart that held a pet is unsanitary! It concerns me that the management and workers do not enforce these rules.

BUILD YOUR NETWORK TO LAND A NEW JOB

Stay in touch. Professional networks are most effective for professionals who keep in touch with their colleagues and acquaintances. Follow up with colleagues you’ve worked with in the past to see if there’s anything you can do for them or to check in on how a project you discussed with them is going. Staying in touch can shed light on job opportunities or open other doors that might facilitate your job search.

EOE

THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB

Provide ample notice. Even if it is time to move on, ensure that your current employer has plenty of time to interview potential replacements and train someone to take your place. This ensures an easy transition for all involved, and can show your employer that you have the company’s best interests in mind. While two weeks’ notice is the standard, if you have held a professional position for some time, extend the courtesy to three.
