Cost: Conventional wisdom suggests it’s less expensive to do something yourself than to hire someone else to do it for you, but that’s not necessarily true of home improvement projects. Labor costs typically account for a substantial amount of professionally contracted projects, but homeowners can cut those costs by volunteering to do some of the simpler tasks themselves. In addition, contractors often purchase materials at a much lower cost than individual homeowners because contractors buy in bulk. So while labor costs might be lower on DIY projects, the cost of materials can offset those savings.

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

TURN YOUR YARD INTO A VACATION-WORTHY OASIS

Installapool: Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days.An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hang-out zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to. But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough. Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing, inhibits and embarrasses them.

Cornell Cooperative Extension’s position on home remedies: “We Do Not

Recommend this practice.”

Use Register Pesticides

Labeled for your intended site/ pest combination and follow all use instructions and safety precautions on the label. “Always read and follow the label when applying pesticide. The label is the law.” While people who promote making home remedies with familiar household ingredients to control pests are well

intentioned, common claims about home remedies are inaccurate. What about claims that home remedies are safer than store-bought pesticides? Though it might surprise you, home remedies can actually pose MORE risk to you, other

people, and the environment.

Grilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Patient With Osteoarthritis Develops Hives After Taking Ibuprofen

DEAR DR. ROACH: I took ibuprofen for my osteoarthritis, but developed hives. Does this mean I’m allergic to all NSAIDs? What other therapeutic options do I have? -- J.B.

ANSWER: Anti-inflammatory drugs can have many allergic and allergic-type reactions, and ibuprofen is probably the most likely of all to do so. For people with mild reactions (such as hives that go away) without swelling or shortness of breath, I recommend avoiding ibuprofen and similar medicines, such as naproxen (Aleve and Naprosyn, among others), as well as any other medication ending in “-profen,” such as ketoprofen or flurbiprofen.

Aspirin is safe for most people as far as allergies go, although it is a little more likely to cause side effects at higher doses. The prescription medicines meloxicam (Mobic), nabumetone (Relafen) and celecoxib (Celebrex) are among the least likely to have any cross reaction with ibuprofen. Anti-inflammatory gels like diclofenac cream (Voltaren) should also be safe for topical use.

People with more serious reactions need a referral to an allergist, who may consider desensitization.

***

DEAR DR. ROACH: We had to get a router attached to our computer to get Wi-Fi for our house. Is there any health risk by sitting or sleeping near the router from the radio waves it puts out? -- B.R.

ANSWER: The energy output from a typical Wi-Fi router is about 10 watts, and the energy is the lowfrequency, non-ionizing type. Very powerful radio sources, such as AM radio towers, can actually cause injury by heating tissues, but these have a power output in the thousands, or even tens of thousands, of watts. There has never been evidence of health effects on humans by low-output radio waves, such as the waves from Wi-Fi or cellphones.

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are significantly higher than the rates among the general population. USDVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

Pirate Toy Fund Celebrates 500,000th Toy with Pirate Hat Night at Innovative Field

BY REBECCA L E CLAIR

Six-year-old Mariana Lippincott-Diaz from Gates received the 500,000th toy handed out by the Pirate Toy Fund since its founding in 1995. is special presentation took place at the pitcher’s mound of Innovative Field before the Red Wings baseball game on Saturday, the 12th. Mariana was selected for this honor because of her generosity and kind-heartedness in memory of a friend who died of childhood cancer.

“We knew the Pirate Toy Fund was just about to hand out its 500,000th toy,” said Otto Harnischfeger, PTF Executive Director. “We invited Mariana and her family to the baseball game so we could recognize her for raising $800 to buy toys for children receiving medical treatment at Golisano Children’s Hospital.”

Last fall, Mariana was hospitalized for salmonella poisoning and spent several days in the hospital. Like every child admitted to Golisano Children’s Hospital, Mariana received a toy from the Pirate Toy Fund. She also was aware of her friend, Ian Mech, who received toys while being treated for childhood cancer. A er Ian died, Mariana dedicated the proceeds from her lemonade stand to buy more toys in his memory. To date, she has raised more than $800.

“How great is that? To have a little girl so focused on giving back to her community and remembering her family friend,” exclaimed Harnischfeger, “So we decided to combine celebrating Mariana’s generosity and the Pirate Toy Fund’s historic benchmark with a community party, all on Pirate Hat Night!”

Gary the Happy Pirate, the children’s entertainer who conceived the idea of the Pirate Toy Fund while performing at Golisano Children’s Hospital in the 1990s, was acknowledged during the pre-game ceremony. His wife Kathryn Smith, who wrote lyrics to most of the songs Gary performed during his career,

was honored as well. Kathryn has been Gary’s primary caretaker since he was diagnosed with a fatal neurological disease in 2020. “Because of the pandemic, we were never able to have a community celebration when Gary retired from being our previous Executive Director,” said PJ Tagliente, Vice President of the PTF Board. “I think everyone would agree this is a perfect time to honor Gary as we give out the 500,000th toy.”

To thank the community for its unwavering support, the Pirate Toy Fund hosted a free party in front of the baseball stadium from 5:00-6:45pm. Families came to enjoy bounce houses, pony rides, face painting, and balloon sculpting. e rst 1,000 kids through the gates received a free pirate hat.

e mission of the Rochester-based Pirate Toy Fund started with providing toys to children at Golisano Children’s Hospital. As the organization grew, the mission expanded to provide toys to every hospital in the Rochester region plus agencies that help children in need. e Pirate Toy Fund asks community members to donate toys and volunteers help distribute them. Over the past 28 years, the charity has collected half a million toys and delivered them to more than 100 agencies and health care facilities.

“We are so proud to be celebrating this milestone during the summer because it gives us a great opportunity to remind folks that we need toys year-round. We hope folks come to the ballpark for some pre-game fun and then enjoy a great game. Everything we do is for the kids,” said Harnischfeger.

Here’s a tip

for Grandparents

* Our friends who live in an apartment have a great storable sandbox solution. ey use a plastic under-the-bed storage bin lled with sand and toys. It has a lid and can be stored easily on their balcony. e kids still get to play in the sand even on rainy days. -- W. in Kentucky

* I saw this idea in a magazine somewhere, and now I make them for other moms and dads, as they are cute and functional: Make a cell number beaded bracelet kids can wear when you go out. Little kids may not remember Mommy’s cellphone number, but they can bring the bracelet to a store employee and ask him or her to call the number on the bracelet. Use elastic thread and colorful number beads. -- P.S. in Oregon

* If you use a 1/4-inch hole punch, which you can get at a hardware store for cheap, you easily can make a straw hole in the plastic tops of kids’ single serving drinks, like milk and water bottles. Less chance of a spill. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. (c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

loves to play, cuddle, and eat blueberries and ice cubes.

Provide Ample Water: Make sure your pets have access to plenty of fresh and cool water at all times. You can even add ice cubes to the water bowl to keep it cooler for longer.

Create Shaded Areas: Set up shaded spots in your yard or on your balcony where your pets can relax. Use umbrellas, canopies, or create natural shaded areas with plants.

Indoor Retreats: Ensure that your pets have a cool place indoors where they can escape the heat. If possible, keep the air conditioning on or use fans to circulate air.

Did You Know?

Animals verbalize in many different ways to communicate. One thing cat owners may notice is that cats have a tendency to meow as a form of speaking with humans. However, according to the North Shore Animal League America, cats almost never meow at other cats, as meowing is a sound generally reserved for interacting with humans. Cat owners should talk back to their cats often, as cats enjoy hearing their own names and their owners’ voices.

MOMENTS IN TIME

The History Channel

* On Aug. 20, 1920, seven men, including legendary football star Jim Thorpe, meet to organize a professional football league. The meeting led to the creation of the American Professional Football Conference, the forerunner to the National Football League.

* On Aug. 18, 1958, Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial novel “Lolita” is published in the U.S. The novel, about a man’s obsession with a 12-year-old girl, had been rejected by four publishers before G.P. Putnam’s Sons accepted it.

* On Aug. 19, 1960, in the USSR, captured American U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers is sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for his confessed espionage. Only 18 months into his sentence, the Soviets released him in exchange for Rudolf Abel, a senior KGB spy who was caught and convicted in the U.S. five years earlier.

* On Aug. 17, 1978, the Double Eagle II, with three pilots, completes the first trans-Atlantic balloon flight when it lands near Paris after lifting off from Presque Isle, Maine. The helium-filled balloon had flown 3,233 miles in the nearly six-day odyssey.

Cooling Mats or Beds: Consider getting cooling mats or beds designed for pets. ese can provide relief from the heat and help regulate their body temperature.

Freeze Treats: Freeze pet-friendly treats like cubes of watermelon, low-sodium chicken broth, or yogurt. ese can be a tasty and cooling snack.

Limit Exercise: Avoid exercising your pets during the hottest parts of the day. Opt for walks and playtime during the cooler mornings or evenings.

Avoid Hot Surfaces: Asphalt and sand can become extremely hot and can burn your pet’s paws. Stick to grassy areas or invest in pet booties to protect their paws.

Pet-Friendly Pools or Sprinklers: If your pet enjoys water, consider setting up a kiddie pool or sprinkler for them to play in. Make sure the water is cool and clean.

Avoid Hot Cars: Never leave your pets in a parked car, even with the windows cracked. Cars can become dangerously hot in a matter of minutes.

Check for Signs of Overheating: Be vigilant for signs of heat stress, including excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or disorientation. If you notice these signs, bring your pet to a cooler area and contact your veterinarian. Remember, di erent pets have di erent tolerances for heat. Always consider your pet’s breed, age, and health condition when implementing cooling strategies. If you’re unsure, consult your veterinarian for personalized advice.

ANSWERS TO COMMON PET FOSTERING QUESTIONS

How long is the fostering term? The ASPCA says that time commitments for fostering can vary. Sometimes it may be a matter of weeks or it could be months, depending on the foster program and the pet’s situation.

Keeping your pets cool during the summer is essential for their well-being. Here are some ideas to help you keep your pets cool:

* On Aug. 20, 1804, Sgt. Charles Floyd, quartermaster of the Lewis and Clark expedition, dies near present-day Sioux City, Iowa, becoming the first U.S. soldier to die west of the Mississippi. Floyd likely died from acute appendicitis.

DOCTOR, DOCTOR

As part of my healthcare plan, I’m to have a “well visit” periodically to see if I’m sick without knowing it and take the wise steps to prevent illness. Jesus said, “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick” Mark 2:17. As a Christian I am not that PHYSICIAN but I can lead you to HIM. A simple reminder to those who are Saved, we have a loving responsibility to those who are sin-sick and have not been Born Again to get to the only one who can help and heal. They don’t even realize they’re headed for a Christless Eternity in Hell. Jesus can also help the Saved from a cold, careless heart and in need of a check up. That’s what Church is about. The Bible is preached and Jesus then can heal our type of disease. You may be sick. See you Sunday!

KNIGHT in SHINING ARMOR

Very SPECIAL THANKS to the wonderful man who helped me after I tripped and fell on the uneven sidewalk outside the Canandaigua Post Office on Friday 7/21. Even though I was lucky enough to not be seriously injured, I’m not so sure I could have stood back up on my own. You were so kind to help me up, walk me into the post office and back out to my car, just to be sure I was okay. I wish I had a way to thank you personally, but will have to just hope you read this message thanking you for your kindness.

PLZ Return my JOSH!

Gosh darn it! My lawn sign of vaulting Josh Allen was kidnapped last week. A gift from family, he began jumping over my row of multi-colored solar lights during the ‘22-23 Christmas/Football Season. Similar figures exist to buy for yourself, if a fan. And if you’re the opposite, there are multiple methods to promote your own team without resorting to petit larceny. Please return Josh ASAP. The neighborhood misses him. We’d appreciate it, too, if you’d stop discarding your personal trash out your vehicle windows onto our properties. That glass bottle shattered all over my driveway & lawn, plus the road shoulder. It endangered neighborhood pets & children, plus passing sneaker soles & bicycle tires. We’ve got many more important activities to better occupy our time than collecting your daily assortment of cigarette butts & empty packs, fast food garbage, bottles & cans, etc.…

(Come Home, Josh! No ransom demands were issued.)

WHAT

TAKES TO BE A TEAM PLAYER

The ability to communicate, interact and work collectively with others is both a professional and personal asset. But in certain ways, the reliance on technology has made working as a team more complicated. People have grown accustomed to spending large quantities of time alone working at computers or on phones and tablets, potentially compromising their ability to work directly with others when the need arises.

According to Monster.com, when it comes to choosing a candidate for a new job or promotion, employers consistently say they want a team player. That means it’s advantageous for professionals looking to further their careers to brush up on their team-building and social skills.

GROWTH OF THE SOLAR EMPLOYMENT SECTOR

According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, there were 260,077 solar workers working at 8,601 solar companies in the United States in 2016. The census also found that the five states with the most solar jobs in 2016 were California, Massachusetts, Texas, Nevada, and Florida. Twenty-eight percent of state solar workers in 2016 were females, making women the largest demographic in the solar industry. Latinos and Hispanics (17.2 percent), Asians or Pacific Islanders (9.1 percent), and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (9 percent) rounded out the top four demographics employed by the solar industry. Of the 260,077 solar industry jobs in 2016, more than 137,000 were classified as installation jobs that paid a median wage of $26 per hour. With roughly 38,000 jobs in 2016, solar manufacturing was the next biggest employer of workers in the solar industry.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term. If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.

HOW TO HOST A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS DINNER

Throughout the history of commerce, many a deal has been made at the dinner table. Business dinners are a great opportunity to lay a foundation for long, potentially lucrative professional relationships.

Etiquette is important when hosting business dinners, as a breach of decorum can derail a relationship before it even begins. Professionals tasked with hosting business dinners can take the following tips to heart before sitting down to break bread with their colleagues.

Choose a restaurant that can cater to various diets. Hosting a business dinner can be similar to hosting family during the holiday season, when hosts must cater to guests with various food allergies and dietary restrictions. Asking for such information in advance of a business dinner may seem intrusive to guests, so try to find a restaurant that offers a flexible menu capable of accommodating vegetarians, vegans and guests who might be gluten-free. Avoid restaurants that specialize in styles of cuisine that might be unhealthy or so extraordinary that guests might be hesitant to order anything from the menu.

Confirm the reservation. Make the reservation well in advance of the date of the dinner, and don’t forget to confirm the reservation a week beforehand. Confirming a week beforehand gives hosts time to book another reservation should theirs have been canceled by mistake.

Arrive at the restaurant before your guests. Hosts should arrive at the restaurant before their guests so they can address any potential issues in advance of the beginning of the dinner. Arriving early gives hosts time to ensure the table set aside for their party is not in a heavily trafficked area of the restaurant, such as adjacent to the kitchen or restroom. Hosts who arrive later than their guests may also give guests the mistaken impression that they are unimportant.

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.

Plumbing

Let guests order first. Once everyone has sat down at the table, hosts should allow guests to order first. Doing so saves guests who don’t want to eat that much the potential discomfort of sitting there while their hosts eat an appetizer and/or large entrée. If guests choose to abstain from alcohol, follow suit. If guests want to have a drink, hosts can limit their consumption to a single beverage.

Don’t eat too quickly or too slowly. Hosts should try to keep pace with their guests in regard to how quickly or slowly they eat. Guests might feel uncomfortable if they finish first or feel pressured to eat quickly if their hosts finish first.

Pay in advance. Business dinner guests do not expect to pay for their meals. While it’s widely accepted that hosts will pay, it can feel awkward to have the bill brought to the table. Upon arriving early, hosts can give their credit cards to the wait staff and ask that they be charged without having the bill brought to the table. If necessary, step away from the table during the meal to sign the bill and address any discrepancies.

Business dinners have sparked many successful professional relationships, oftentimes thanks to hosts who took the time to ensure the dinners went off without a hitch.
