DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

Have

tires’ alignment checked toward the end of winter or early spring. A season of traveling over pothole-ridden roads or hitting curbs buried under snow drifts can affect the alignment. Get everything back on track. Similarly,

tires routinely, as weather changes can affect tire pressure and

year. These accidents most often occur when roadways are wet, snowy or icy. Yet, winter driving is not the only seasonal hazard.

FACTORS THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT MOOD

Chronic stress: Chronic stress has long been linked to a host of health problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, chronic stress puts individuals at increased risk for heart disease and weight gain but also issues that affect mood, including anxiety and depression. Individuals who find themselves routinely confronting bad moods may be dealing with chronic stress. Identifying the source of that stress and speaking with a health care professional about how to reduce and manage it may lead to improvements in mood.

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.

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.

Bessie Smith (1894-1937):

While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.

BENEFITS OF CHOOSING SOLAR ENERGY

Home improvement trends come and go. What’s popular among today’s homeowners may feel dated to prospective buyers a decade from now. But solar energy is one home improvement trend that does not figure to go the way of sunken living rooms or popcorn ceilings.

According to the Solar Energies Industry Association®, solar energy experienced a compound annual growth rate of more than 60 percent between 2006 and 2016. Solar energy has also done wonders to improve the employment rate. According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census, in the United States there were more than 260,000 solar workers in 2016, an increase of 25 percent from the previous year. Things are equally rosy in Canada, where the Government of Canada reports installed capacity for solar thermal power has experienced a compound growth rate of nearly 14 percent since 2004.

The use of solar energy is on the rise, and there are many reasons for homeowners to embrace this increasingly popular energy source.

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER

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.

TREE SERVICES

CHARRED GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON VERBENA PESTO

Serves 2 to 4

Green Beans

11/2 pounds slender green beans

2 teaspoons olive oil

Lemon Verbena Pesto

1 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (substitute fresh lemon balm leaves) 2 garlic cloves

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4cuppinenutsorEnglishwalnuts 1/2 cup olive oil

Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Prepare a hot fire in your grill.

Toss the beans with olive oil and place in a perforated grill basket or wok set on a baking sheet.

For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese, and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree. Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisp-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1/4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto or to taste.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Beyond the Leesburg Stockade: The Resilience of Lulu Westbrook Griffin

BY SUZIE WELLS

Adapted from public information from the Livingston County Historian’s Office, Griffin’s forword in Memoirs of a Revolution Experience rough Poetry and Poems, and newspaper accounts at the time.

Lulu Griffin, born in Americus, Georgia in 1949 to John Mark Westbrook and Gertrude Lucille Johnson, was the youngest of nine children and was two years old when her father died. Her mother worked as a maid, a nurse, and served as a Pentecostal minister. Family life for the Westbrooks revolved around the Pentecostal Christian Church.

Lulu explains in her 2021 memoir that she was born into an America with people of color “struggling to live in a dominated white society” with “blatant signs of segregation” and Jim Crow laws, with “vestiges of colonial laws spurned from a slave mentality.” She says, “Frankly, we were socially unaccepted in every way and living as second-class citizens.”

Lulu says she was “surrounded by people with good moral values and strength despite all the hatred, bigotry, and segregation I was born into.” Love, faith, and wisdom passed down generation to generation, with“wholeneighborhoodsoffamilieslookingoutforothers’children.”

Conflict arose from white supremacy groups and separatists who condemned the poor, downtrodden, and darker skinned individuals. Violence was rampant, and Lulu describes the prevalence of violence and harassment toward people of color.

Lulu and her siblings became involved with the Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee (SNCC). At 10, Lulu attended mass meetings of the SNCC and trained in nonviolence resistance during protest demonstrations. She learned freedom songs and carried placards. She o en participated in sit-ins, marches, and peaceful demonstrations to protest segregation.

In July 1963, at the age of 13, Lulu and other children from her church participated in a peaceful march from the Black part of town to the Martin eater. e Ku Klux Klan-dominated police force met them with fire hoses, police dogs, and night sticks. Lulu was swept into the street by the force of a fire hose and hit on the head by an officer with a club. Dozens of children were rounded up and packed into paddy wagons. Boys went to the Americus jail and 32 girls were transported twenty miles away to an abandoned Civil War era building known as the Leesburg Stockade.

In late August 1963, the chair of the SNCC received a tip of the girls’ location and sent photographer Danny Lyons to the site. His photographs reached President John F. Kennedy, who sent the National Guard to rescue the girls in early September. Lulu and the other girls were back in school within days, most so traumatized they tried to repress the ordeal.

Years later, Lulu recalls the experience as a “badge of honor – for standing for [her] Civil Rights, which [are] my inalienable rights.” However,sheadmitstheexperiencele hersotraumatizedandwracked with nightmares, earaches, and scars that she suffered nightmares for 27 years.

Lulu Griffin moved to Rochester in 1965 and attended East High School. She had twin boys, studied psychology at the University of Rochester and music at the Eastman School. In 1977, she married John Griffin of Rochester, and the couple moved to Springwater in the 1980s.

When photographer Danny Lyon’s book, Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, came out in 1992 with a photograph of Lulu and the other girls, Lulu started to speak about her experience and started recording her memories. She has spoken at schools, universities, and community events across the region and across the country to tell her story of the Civil Rights movement.

In 1996, Griffin wrote a guide to teaching the civil rights movement, Freedom is Not Free: 45 Days in Leesburg Stockade, a Civil Rights Story She teamed with Travis Lewis to share her story as well as that of some other girls in the documentary, Lulu and the Girls of Americus, Georgia 1963, released in 2003. Lulu moved to Wayland and published Memoirs of a Revolution Experience rough Poetry and Poems.

Her story is one of resilience in the face of adversity, and the Leesburg Stockade girls don’t want their story forgotten. Humans can do better.

e girls were held in a single 20’ by 20’ concrete cell for 45 days with no running water, beds, blankets, bathrooms, or change of clothes. ey were deprived of medical care. eir daily meal was a half-raw hamburger. Bugs and critters joined them at night, and someone dropped a snake in the cell one night, Lulu recounts. eir families had no idea where they were, and Lulu says she cried daily, less because of her own experience but because she worried what her mother must feel in her absence.

HOW STUDENTS CAN PREPARE FOR STANDARDIZED TESTS

Take practice tests. Practice tests can be invaluable. Such tests can indicate where students are strong and any areas they should seek to improve. Students who have a tutor or are enrolled in a test prep program can go over their practice test results with their tutor or instructor to identify areas for improvement and strategies to perform better when the tests count.

HOW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE HELPING THE DEAF Cochlearimplants

The NDC notes that cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. Cochlear implants utilize electrodes placed in the cochlea, or inner ear, to stimulate the auditory nerve of individuals who have substantial and permanent hearing loss.

The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals the implant is sending. In addition, the NDC notes that certain types of hearing loss cannot be remedied with cochlear implants.

THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN BEER & LENT

In the weeks leading up to Easter, practicing Christians commonly commit to a period of fasting and abstinence known as Lent. This commitment commemorates Christ’s 40-day journey into the desert, and the sacrifices modern day Christians make are meant to replicate those made by Christ duringthatperiod.ManyChristians abstain from alcohol during Lent, but those who do may not realize that beer played a significant role in helping a small community of 17th century monks survive the Lentenfastingseason.Monksfrom the Order of St. Francis of Paola, often referred to as “Paulaner monks,” fasted from all solid foods throughout the season of Lent during the 1600s. According to the Paulaner Brewery, the monks, originally from southern Italy, relocated to Bavaria, once an independent country but now a southern state in Germany, in the 1600s. Their strict religious orders forbade the monks from consuming solid food during Lent, but they still needed nutrients to sustain them. So the monks concocted a strong brew loaded with carbohydrates and nutrients. The monks must have liked the beer, as they continued to brew it and even began selling it in their community. An early doppelbock, the beer was one of the first offerings from the Paulaner Brewery, which opened its doors in1634andremainsopentoday.

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.

Hocus Focus

BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

Keeping The Memory of Your Loved Ones Alive

WHAT IS A WILL?

The online financial resource Investopedia notes that wills are legally enforceable documents that dictate how people want their affairs handled and assets allocated in the wake of their deaths.

Wills should include a host of information, including who a person wants to assume guardianship of their minor-aged children should they pass away. This is especially important information to include in a will, as surviving relatives may have to go to court to contest guardianship if parents do not dictate who they want to serve as guardians in their wills.

“Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old…” ~ Frank Kafka

Kafka was an Austrian writer who was only 40 years of age when he died in 1924. He may, therefore, have been overly enthusiastic about the advantages of youth. However, his thought merits attention.

If we develop the habit of looking for beauty in everything, we might be surprised at the various places where beauty manifests itself and how often we can find it. This may not keep us from growing old but it should at least make growing old more enjoyable.

Families of all faiths and creeds can be certain of fully appropriate services when they put their trust in us. Our many years of experience enable us to anticipate every need.

Lilies are often interpreted as a symbol of the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. A white stargazer lily symbolizes sympathy and any type of white lily expresses majesty and purity.

BRICK HOMES FIGHT FIRES THE LONGEST (NAPSI)—Firefighters

report that it takes about an hour and a half for a fire to breach a brick home-as compared to fiber cement in under an hour and vinyl siding in just minutes.

Choosing brick exteriors to protect their own firehouses, firefighters say brick homes help slow the spread, offering the extra few minutes to help save lives and property as this brief video shows.

While the International Residential Code (IRC) does not require cladding on singlefamily homes to have a fire rating,the International Building Code (IBC) acknowledges that fired-clay brick has tested to provide a minimum one-hour fire resistance rating alone, regardless of backing material.This is something that synthetic materials—such as fiber cement—cannot claim.

Primarily made of clay, brick is classified as a noncombustible material that will not burn, melt or combust.

In a one-hour severe fire test conducted independently for the Brick Industry Association (BIA), vinyl siding burned after only 18 minutes, fiber cement failed within one hour and fired-clay brick withstood the flames after one hour. The test was conducted in accordance with ASTM E119, the Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials.

Learn More: BIA is the nationally recognized authority on clay brick construction representing the nation’s distributors and manufacturers of clay brick and suppliers of related products. To learn more, go to Fire Prevention at www.gobrick.com.

Thank You

Handicap Spaces

We would like to say thank you so much to the person at Dr. Aguirre’s Office who was so kind to trade Doctors with my husband. He has a lot of health issues and needed his regular Doc. We will pay it forward.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the World Health Organization, tobacco kills up to half its users, annually killing roughly six million people each year. The WHO notes that more thanfivemillionofthosedeathsare the result of direct tobacco use, while more than 600,000 deaths can be attributed to non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. While many in the United States may understand the threat that smoking poses to their overall health,theWHOnotesthatstudies indicate knowledge about the specifichealthrisksoftobaccouse is not widespread. A 2009 survey ofsmokersinChinafoundthatless than 40 percent of smokers knew that smoking tobacco causes coronary heart disease, while only 27 percent were aware of the link between smoking and stroke. It’s also important that smokers recognize that cigarettes once characterized as “light” or “low tar” are not healthier than more traditional cigarettes. While the US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of such terms incigarettesaleswithintheUnited States, smokers traveling or living overseas should be mindful that other countries may not operate under such restrictions. In addition, the American Cancer Society notes that there is no proof that cigarettes sold as “all natural” and marketed as having no chemicals or additives are any safer than traditional cigarettes and that the best way for men, women and children to avoid the dangers of tobacco is to never smoke or to quit immediately.

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.

Magic Maze

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.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the American Cancer Society, the average age at the time of diagnosis of testicular cancer is 33. Young and middle-aged men are the most likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer, though the ACS notes that 14 percent of cases occur in children, teens and men over the age of 55. The ACS estimates that roughly 440 men will die of testicular cancer in 2021. Though that’s troubling, testicular cancer can usually be treated successfully. In fact, the ACS notes that a man’s lifetime risk of dying from the disease is one in 5,000. However, the incidence rate of testicular cancer has been increasing in many countries, including the United States, for several decades. The reasons for that are unknown, though the rise in incidences underscores the need for men, especially young men, to discuss testicular cancer, including its risk factors and symptoms, with their physicians.

Nursing is one of the fastest-growing and longest-running occupations in the United States and Canada. The New England Hospital for Women and Children, established in 1862, was the first nursing school in the United States. The first formal nursing training program in Canada was established in 1874 at the General and Marine Hospital in St. Catharines, Ontario. The American Nurses Association was started in 1898. The CanadianNurses’Association,formerlytheCanadianNationalAssociation of Trained Nurses, was developed in 1907. These associations are national professional associations representing the hundreds of thousands of nurses across the country and are instrumental in legislative policy and the influences of health care on nursing professionals today.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE

(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:

Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.

Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!
