Andsobydegreesthewinterwore away... and the chill, bitter, windy, early spring came round. The comic almanacks give us dreadful pictures of January and February; but, in truth, the months which should be made to look gloomy in England are March and April.

PALM SUNDAY

On what is now called “Palm Sunday,” Jesus Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem while villagers welcomed him and waved palm branches. This is mentioned in each of the Biblical Gospels and occurs a week before His subsequent resurrection. Jesus possibly rode a donkey rather than a horse as a sign of peace, as a war-waging king might ride a horse. The “Passion of the Christ” is typically read during Palm Sunday masses.

Items to include in your automotive emergency kit

Miscellaneous items: Some items that may not seem synonymous with road trips can come in handy should you find yourself in an emergency. Pack a blanket so you and your passengers can stay warm should your car break down at night. In addition, pack some energy bars and bottled water so no one gets too hungry or thirsty while waiting for help to arrive.

It’s also good to keep a pair of work gloves in your car so you can still use your tools or change a tire when the temperatures dip or your hands get sweaty on hot days.

Finding the right family car

Safety: Safety is the top priority for many parents as they purchase new cars for their families. Look for a car with a high safety rating and a proven track record of ensuring passengers survive accidents. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (www.iihs.org) as well as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov) test and rate new vehicles for safety, and parents should look up the results of these tests and ratings on any vehicle they are considering purchasing for their families.

DID YOU KNOW?

Holy Thursday, which falls on the Thursday before Easter Sunday, commemorates The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. During The Last Supper, Jesus,whoChristiansbelieveistheSonofGod,establishedthesacrament of Holy Communion. The Last Supper was the final meal Jesus enjoyed with his disciples in Jerusalem, and it was during The Last Supper when Jesus predicted one of those disciples would ultimately betray him. Holy Thursday is sometimes referred to as “Maundy Thursday,” a reference to the religious rite of maundy, which is the washing of the feet. The Last Supper and the rite of maundy are connected because it was during The Last Supper that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. Though The Last Supper, during which Jesus gave his disciples bread, telling them it was his body, and wine, telling them it was his blood, is celebrated at every Mass as part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, Holy Thursday Mass places even greater emphasis on this significant event.

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.

HOW TO CONSERVE WATER AT HOME

Conservation is an essential component of an eco-friendly lifestyle. Conserving the planet’s natural resources can have a profound impact on the planet, and conserving at home is a great way for men and women to get the ball rolling on their conservation efforts.

One of the most effective ways to conserve at home is to reduce water consumption. Few people give much thought to how much water they consume at home, as water bills tend to be considerably lower than other utilities like energy and phone. But even if efforts to conserve water at home may not make a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills, many measures

precious resources.

Food Prices to Rise Again this Year

Brace yourself, this is going to hurt: e price of all food is likely to go up an additional 7.9% this year. Food we eat at home is predicted to go up 8.6%, per the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Speci cally, here are some of their expectations for price increases: Eggs up 37.8% (we’ve already seen some of that), dairy up 7.2%, cereals and bakery up 12.8%, fresh vegetables up 3%. Here are some ideas to keep food on the table:

Design your menu from the weekly sales yer from your local store. Shop early before the sales items are gone. Stock up if you can on shelf-stable items and some multipurpose basics. ink: rice, pasta, soups.

Explore recipes online and search for inexpensive meals for seniors. You can even -- don’t laugh -- look up websites with recipes for poor college students. (Some of them are quite creative.) Look up “nutritionally dense foods” to ensure that you’re getting value for your shopping dollar.

Encourage your senior center (or even the rec center) to hold classes for seniors on how to put meals on the table without breaking the bank.

Call Meals on Wheels to see if you qualify for free meals. Use the food bank. Look up Commodity Supplemental Food Programs (CSFP) for your state and see if you qualify for a free food box each month.

Ask your doctor if you should take a daily vitamin supplement to get you through this period where your nutrition might not be the best. Good nutrition is a big part of staying healthy.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* Wildlife technician Richard Thomas took the famous tongue twister, “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” and calculated a rough estimate of the actual answer. It came out to around 700 pounds!

* Thawing frozen water pipes can be very tricky. Some people use a hot pad wrapped around the pipe; others have been known to use the hair dryer method (electricity and water don’t really mix; be careful). Hopefully you learned any lessons the easy way this winter, but if you had to patch any pipes, make sure you get them repaired asap. Sometimes people forget as soon as the weather turns nice. -- A plumber in Illinois

* When drilling holes in the wall, you can tape an envelope, open side out, to the wall just under where you will be drilling. Open the envelope up a bit so that any dust will fall directly down into the open envelope. It will keep your working area nice and neat!

* To make a special quilted keepsake, sew together baby’s receiving blankets.

* Want a delicious coating for chicken? Try basting with mayonnaise and then dip in crushed crackers. The crumbs stick well to the mayo, and it’s especially delicious with crushed butter crackers, like Ritz.

* When washing stockings by hand, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water. They will keep the stretch better. Also, if you line-dry them outdoors, slip a spoon or a few coins into the toe. This will keep them from twisting up in the wind.

* If you, like me, are washing your winter sweaters to pack away, add a bit of hair conditioner to the rinse. Also, don’t try to pull them into shape when drying. Just lay flat to dry. If you have a screen, you can set it up so that the sweater dries from both sides. This is best.

Dog’s Driveway Poop Is a Bone of Contention for Neighbors

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My nextdoor neighbor shares a driveway with me. We get along ne, organizing our cars so no one is blocked in. However, every morning she walks her dog up the side of the driveway and doesn’t pick up a er it. I’ve asked her to do so, but she said that since it’s her side of the driveway she has the right to let him poop there. What can I do to solve this? -- Stunk Out in Bradenton, Florida

DEAR STUNK: Neighbor disputes over dog droppings are always a bit nerve-wracking, especially when the o ending neighbor asserts their right to leave a mess.

Check your neighborhood homeowners association rules to see if this issue is addressed. If you don’t live in an area with an HOA, check out your city or county’s website to nd out if there are any restrictions for this sort of behavior, and if it’s possible to le a complaint.

Even though your neighbor is keeping the dog on her side of the driveway, it’s shared property. Further, dog poop le lying around, even on the edge of the driveway, is a health hazard. Not to mention how ick it is for anyone who parks on that side and accidentally steps out onto one of those “gi s.”

No matter what, don’t lose your cool. Stay civil toward your neighbor. Keep asking her to pick up a er the dog, and note down the date and time of each interaction and each time poop is le behind. Take pictures with your phone as well. If the issue can’t be resolved by politely asking, you’ll need to le a complaint with the HOA or your municipality, and may have to provide evidence (notes and pictures, not the actual poo) to back up your complaint.

Readers, have you dealt with this problem? Tell us about it at ask@ pawscorner.com.

DID YOU KNOW?

Once a term that dominated newspaper headlines and environmental discourse, “global warming” is now heard far less frequently. Many may assume global warming has been rebranded as “climate change,” but the two are not one and the same. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global warming refers exclusively to the Earth’s rising surface temperature, while climate change includes global warming but also its side effects. Such side effects include the melting of the world’s glaciers and the growing frequency of drought and heavier rainstorms. Global warming is also used most often to refer to warming caused by humans, while climate change is a term used when discussing environmental changes that are human-caused or natural.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Longtime Cannabis User Still Tests Positive Weeks After Quitting

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 68-year-old male who has used cannabis for 51 years. During that time span, I graduated from high school and college with two bachelor’s degrees and two master’s degrees, and I spent 35 years as an accomplished educator, motivational speaker and author. I have been married to the same person for 31 years and have a wide circle of friends.

Twenty-five years ago, I had my thyroid removed due to cancer, and I currently take medication. I also inject testosterone and take medications for blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as Xanax. I retired to a life that involves little travel, choosing instead to spend my time reading, researching, writing and being active in my community. Once I began to notice a loss of motivation and diminished memory, I became proactive and decided to give up cannabis.

I have had no trouble quitting cold turkey and have no desire to return to it. My memory has vastly improved, and I still enjoy all the things that made my retirement enjoyable before I made this decision. After 10 weeks of not using, I still test positive for the metabolites using THC testing strips. I have read that normal detoxing for a heavy user is anywhere from six weeks to two months.

To aid in the process, I drink half a glass of lemon juice in the morning, drink two gallons of water or detox tea a day, cut red meat and dairy from my diet, spend an hour a day on the treadmill, and spend 40 minutes in a steam bath. How long should I expect to continue testing positive? Is there anything else I can do to speed up the passing of the metabolites? -- Anon.

ANSWER: The active form of THC, the primary chemical in cannabis that causes the psychoactive effects (i.e., the effects for people to feel “high”), accumulates in the fat cells, where it can be stored for long periods of time.

Research in laboratory animals confirms that losing weight over the long-term releases the stored THC from the fat, making it more likely that a urine test will be positive in people who are losing weight (which might be the case with you, given your exercise and diet). Heavy users have told me that they feel like they are “coming out of a fog” for up to six months after stopping the use of cannabis. However, I can’t give you any evidence-based answer on how long you will continue to show positive results.

I don’t think drinking water and tea, nor the steam bath, are significantly helping you get rid of the accumulated THC in the body, but the diet and exercise changes probably are, if you are losing fat as I suspect. Even if you aren’t losing weight, you may be getting more muscular due to exercise and losing fat.

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.

SPRING CLEANING TIPS TO DETOX YOUR BODY

Spring is here,and if your thoughts turn to spring cleaning your house or office,don’t stop there.Take the opportunity to spring clean your body, too. Variations on the process of body detoxification have been elements of many traditional health practices, including ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Consult your health care provider before starting a body detox regimen, but data suggest that most individuals without chronic medical conditions can undergo a simple detox, and the simplest of plans is this: Drink more water. Consistently drinking water each day can help rid your body of toxins even if you do nothing else. Data suggest that many American adults don’t drink enough water, although it is essential for maximumhealth. Water isa keyelement of anybody detox plan. To make the most of your water, opt for purified, enhanced water which promotes the removal of waste and toxins from the body and promotes digestive health through improved absorption of nutrients.

INFLAMMATION

Inflammation can affect anyone, and those who have battled it likely have nothing positive to say. But while few people may associate inflammation with something good, inflammation is actually a process by which the body’s white blood cells and the substances those cells produce protect the body from infection at the hands of bacteria, viruses and other foreign organisms. Whileinflammationisprotectiveby nature,sometimesaninflammatory response is triggered by mistake. When that happens, the body’s immune system, which is designed to protect the body, begins to damage its own tissues. The resulting symptoms of this faulty immune system response may include joint pain, joint stiffness, loss of function in the joints, and swelling of the joints. None of those symptoms are comfortable, and people suffering from them may be on the lookout for ways to alleviatetheirpainandsuffering. While anyone battling persistent inflammation should speak with their physicians to explore their treatment options, a preliminary search of how to best treat inflammation will no doubt turn up information about heat therapy and cold therapy.

The term ‘jazz’ means energy, vitality, and enthusiasm that fits the soul of the music. It is originally derived from the word ‘jasm’ meaning spirit and energy.

APPRECIATION MONTH

APRIL 2023

It was first compiled by musicians in African-American communities in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Jazz music is an enchanting blend of more than one ethnicity. It’s got the American and European interpretation of classical music that is spiced up with the influence of West African culture and folk songs. Jazz music has everything going for it — a melody that stays with you, the harmony that makes the notes sound fuller, a rhythm that beats with your heart, and the outstanding improvisations that set the genre apart.

It ‘turns o ’ a part of the brain. According to research, jazz musicians, when improvising, turn o the dorsolateral prefrontal and lateral orbital regions linked to self-censoring and inhibition and switch on the medial prefrontal cortex that lets self-expression flow.

Jazz cats and alligators Jazz musicians like to call themselves ‘jazz cats’ and before that, they addressed each other as ‘alligators’, or ‘gate’ for short.

Horse-Crazy Kid to Youth Ambassador: Spotlight on Sarah Wilhelm, Ontario County 4-H Resource Educator

Sarah Wilhelm has been the 4-H Resource Educator in Ontario County since June 2019, but she began her 4-H journey at age 14. She says, “I was just a horse-crazy kid who wanted to show at the State Fair.” To do so, Sarah’s parents signed her up for 4-H, knowing nothing more about 4-H other than horse showing. Once in the program, Sarah learned all of the other aspects and opportunities that were involved.

“4-H was a time of growth and exploration in my young life,” she says. Her favorite program became public presentations, inspiring her to study Marketing in her undergraduate program. Each summer home from college, she volunteered with the 4-H program and was summer assistant for the fair. By junior year of college, she knew a career in 4-H lay ahead. Two weeks a er graduation, she started her Master’s program in Agricultural and Extension Education with the University of Arkansas.

Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) o ces are in each NY county. CCE provides essential local services in agriculture, small business vitality, horticulture, nutrition, water quality, parenting skills, and youth development. 4-H is the youth development “wing” of

Sarah loves watching youth growupintoamazingyoung people. She says, “I love watching youth discover their passions, grow in their con dence and abilities, and eventually when they are older, become leaders in the program.”

Sarah also loves the amazing adults she works with in local organizations such as the Ontario County Fairboard, Farm Bureau, and the county legislature, as well as all of the incredible volunteers. She says, “So many amazingly talented people have such a heart for the young people of this county. Working with them always inspires me. ey are truly the backbone of our program and without them, 4-H could not survive.”

4-H is a “best kept secret,” she says. Sarah says they always need help getting more youth and volunteers involved. “We need volunteers to start clubs so we can reach more youth, and then we need youth to learn about the program so they can bene t from all it has to o er.”

Youth in the community need positive role models and life skills, both of which 4-H excels at o ering. In the next program year, Sarah says 4-H plans to host “Step Into” events to expose current 4-Hers to di erent project areas and give newcomers a taste of what 4-H o ers. Events include “Step Into Cooking,” “Step Into Sewing,” “Step Into Woodworking,” etc.

Sarah says, “4-H has something for everyone. Whether you are an urban youth looking to do non-animal projects, a farm kid wanting to show at the county fair, a passionate adult wanting to start a club, or a busy adult wanting to contribute to the local community by teaching a one-time workshop or judging a 4-H event, we want YOU involved! 4-H is truly a ‘build your own adventure’ program that can work for anyone no matter how much time you have to spend.”

Follow Ontario County 4-H on Facebook to stay updated on events, projects, and the amazing 4-H’ers in the county.

the county, various volunteer-led clubs either focus on speci c project areas or are more general interest groups. Sarah supports the volunteers as they run those clubs, and she also develops county-wide workshops, contests, and activities for all clubs to enjoy. She also connects youth with district, state, and national trips and events.

Another educator and support sta run 4-H Camp Bristol Hills for seven weeks in the summer. CCE sta provide Ag in the Classroom programming, such as setting up incubators in classrooms to hatch chicks. ere is also a 4-H a er-school program in Geneva, making 4-H more accessible to youth who might not otherwise participate.

When Sarah is not working with 4-H, she enjoys riding her Appaloosa mare, Amy, traveling to new places, especially national parks, and hiking in the Naples area year-round. She loves the Ontario County Fair as well as attending the summertime Moonlight Stroll concert series at Sonnenberg Mansion and Gardens with her husband, Zach.

HOMETOWN PHOTOS

Space

While someone is collecting mail at their mailbox, is there any reason you can’t move over so as not to “buzz” them. There were no other vehicles except yours in either direction. The rain just stopped, so as you passed the road spray got me. There’s no reason you couldn’t move over a couple feet. Do you expect people to jump back into their driveway until you pass? You crested the hill pretty quick doing 30 to 40 mph. I was in the shoulder but fairly close to the road. It’s called consideration. Class. Then again, some just refuse to look further than the tip of their nose.

Unsafe conditions

Our local town has a certain Senior/Disabled complex that has been in major need of repaving for years! Potholes as large as basketballs. Putting caution cones out isn’t fixing the problem. Isn’t it the owner’s responsibility to make these repairs in a timely manner so it is safe for their tenants? I can only imagine the damage cars get. Do you think our low-income residents can afford costly repairs? I can’t, and refuse to deliver there anymore. Plus, during the winter there is no access to sidewalks.

Disgusting Garbage

Clean up after the storm

Thank you to the neighbor who thought she went unnoticed quickly cleaning up the massive branches the recent windstorm knocked down in my yard. I'm not as able as I used to be, so it was such a blessing to have the yard cleaned up. Your good deed did not go unnoticed. Karma will reward you. Thank you.

Be Your True Self

I loved the Hometown Story on Sandra Ann's art show! I know her and am so proud of who she is now, especially considering all she's been through over the years. I'm so happy to have watched her artistic and personal journey over the years, and love that her artwork helps her true self shine through for the world. I hope more people feel comfortable in their own skin and can be their true selves. The world will shine brighter if we all can speak our truths and be our true selves.

Just because we have wooded road frontage on [local street] in [local town] doesn’t make it a garbage dump! To the person(s) who have thrown used adult diapers along our frontage for the past year- PLEASE STOP! I have disposed of over a dozen of your used diapers in the past year. At least recently you took the care to put two diapers in Ziplock bags. Thank You! If you can’t afford a garbage service please consider dumping your diapers in the garbage cans at gas stations dumpsters, or most stores have refuse cans at the entrance. This is a disgusting practice. Stop it.

4 EASY WAYS TO CREATE MORE TIME IN YOUR DAY

Managing one’s time can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. As a result, adults with hectic schedules and multiple responsibilities may pine for an extra hour or two in the day. While it’s impossible to extend a day from 24 to 26 hours, there are ways for busy men and women to create more time in their day.

1. Embrace organization tools. Whether it’s day planners, smartphone reminders or more traditional print calendars with meetings and deadlines written on them, organization tools can greatly cut back on time spent trying to remember and/or confirm meeting times, project schedules, deadlines, and other obligations.

2. Assess your productivity. Some people are most productive in the mornings, while others do not hit their strides until after lunch. Identify the time or times of day when you tend to be most productive, and make an effort to focus exclusively on work during these times. Resist any urge to schedule meetings or conference calls during those times of day when you are most productive, as it can be hard to multitask or focus when discussing projects with coworkers or clients.

3. Minimize distractions. Social media, the internet and texting can distract attention away from tasks that must be completed, ultimately affecting howquicklyandefficientlysuch projects are finished. Make a concerted effort to avoid social media and the internet while at work, and turn off smartphone alerts that entice you to go online. In addition, turn off text alerts if they are proving too great a distraction.

4. Reconsider your commute. Professionals who drive to work but find themselves sitting in traffic on their way to and from work can investigate possible alternatives to driving themselves. Public transportation might not get you to work more quickly than driving yourself, but time spent on a bus or train can be used to workonprojectsandcheckand answer work-related emails, clearinguptimelaterintheday. Time spent behind the wheel of an automobile cannot be safely spent working.
