DID YOU KNOW?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, well-designed landscapescansavehomeowners enough energy to make the projectspayforthemselvesinless than eight years. The DOE notes that homeowners’ landscaping strategies should be dictated by the climates in which they live. For example, homeowners who live in hot, arid regions should employ landscapes to shade their homes’ walls, windows and roof, while those who live in cool regions should make sure their landscapes are not blocking the winter sun from reaching their homes’ south-facing windows. TheDOEalsoadvisesthatshading is the most cost-effective way to reduce solar heat gain in a home, noting that well-planned landscapescanreducepreviously unshaded homes’ air conditioning costs by as much as 50 percent. The DOE also notes that, in treeshaded neighborhoods, summer daytime air temperature can be up to six degrees cooler than the air temperature in treeless areas. Homeowners considering adding trees to their landscapes should know that deciduous trees shed their leaves annually, which means they will block solar heat in the summer but allow sunlight into the home in winter. That’s ideal for homeowners who live in regions where temperatures climb in summertimebutdropconsiderably in winter. Homeowners who want year-round shade might consider evergreen trees and shrubs.

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

Prevent Diy Injuries

When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the recommended rung or engaging in risky behavior while on the ladder, such as reaching or hanging over too far.

When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING

“We have nothing to fear and a great deal to learn from trees, that vigorous and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool,silent and intimate hours.”

Curtailing consumption is a great way for people to protect the planet’s natural resources and save money at the same time. Part of the difficulty with regard to reducing energy consumption is that energy plays such a big role in our lives. Smartphones and tablets have become must-have items, and these items, though not necessarily big consumers of energy, must be plugged in and charged. But individuals won’t have to unplug from their lives to reduce their energy consumption. In fact, there are several easy, non-invasive waysforeverydaypeopletoreduce their energy consumption.

Reducing energy consumption does not require substantial sacrifice, but it can produce substantial savings and benefit the planet in myriad ways.

Care For Tools Properly

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

Jerome “Jerry” David Dougherty February 20, 2023

Jerome “Jerry” David Dougherty, born January 18, 1946, the middle child among the brood of 11 born to Harold and Phyllis Dougherty, passed peacefully at his cherished home on the lake, February 20, 2023. Jerry was a proud and faithful husband, predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Kimberly Dougherty, just 19 days earlier, and father to Jennifer (Tim), John (Mark) and Colleen (Bryan) to which he gave more life, love and inspiration than he could ever imagine. But being Papa to Ruairi, Gideon and Killian was undeniably his most treasured role in this life. Never did his Irish eyes smile more than when telling a story about his beautiful, smart granddaughter or his witty, fun and mischievous little buddies. And while at a distance, he never hesitated a moment to ask about his inherited grandsons Fisher and West.

Jerry is survived by his sisters, Cheryl Bryar (Bill), Pam Arrigenna (Peter), Kay McAfee (Ron); brothers, Kevin, Peter (Barb); brother-in-law, Steve Harrison (Kathy) and dozens of loving and loved nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters, Marcia Quinlan (Kevin), Karen Arrigenna (Jim), MaryJane Stoltman (Paul); sister-in-law, Susan Dougherty and brothers, Jim (Eileen) and John.

Jerry’s love for life, his family, his friends, his faith, his fellow Rotarians and anyone walking down the street willing to strike up a conversation was a contagious gi that was irresistible. ere was never a time that a party of 5 to 500 wasn’t called for, as long as he could convince Kim to get out the invitations and pull together the right food. He just needed time to make sure he had enough Baileys and Jameson on hand and to fastidiously manicure his lawn.

Which, of course, meant engaging his longest and most loyal friend, Ernie, and his dedicated helper, Luke.

Jerry, with his faithful better half, Kim, by his side, was an unstoppable force for good times, great laughs and generous giving. Most notably this was seen in his passion and commitment to his community as a Rotarian, living the motto “Service Above Self” every day. But, if you were lucky enough to be brought into the ‘family,’ whether by blood, sharing a Baileys, a Notre Dame bus trip or simply showing up for his favorite 3rd of July celebrations on the lake, you knew and felt his love of life, his goodwill and loyal friendship. Like Kim, he was also the beloved “American parent” to so many foreign exchange students and used that opportunity to learn about and travel the world. He treasured his years of both morning co ee at the Village restaurant and a ernoon co ee at Pizzaland. More recently the stories stemmed from “the lunch bunch” and an a ernoon co ee at Ernie and Joanne’s.

Jerry’s was a life well-lived and leaves many stories to be told of Adirondack summer vacations, shing and skiing trips with his buddies, holiday parties and beautiful sunsets on the Florida beach. While he leaves countless friends and family to remember him, Jerry le this world to celebrate with the countless many treasured family and friends with whom we know he is already having a party.

You are invited to celebrate with family and friends, as he did for so many and as only he would have it. Calling hours will be Sunday, February 26, 2023 from 2-6PM at the Stephenson – Dougherty Funeral Home, 350 Genesee Street, Avon. His Funeral Mass will be held Monday, February 27, 2023 at 11:30AM at St. Agnes Church,

Migdalovich and the orthopedic team, your compassionate professionalism was heart-warming. For the nurse practitioner, Eric, andhisteamatLandmarkHealth,yourcaringnaturewascomforting. For all our wonderful neighbors and good friends that helped with watching over Ian, your caring support was immeasurable. For all my family, my nieces, my nephews, and especially my sisters, thank you for being patient with me and reminding me that I am not alone in this grief. For those who sent beautiful oral arrangements, plants, or planted a tree in Ian’s memory; thank you. For those of you who sent a card and/or food, your understanding messages on the passing of my beloved, Ian, has helped ease my sorrow. ank you for all the prayers from the Monks at the Abbey of the Genesee. Your faith has been an unwavering source of comfort. Again, I simply want to thank all for your love and support during this sorrowful time. e World Lost a Good Man on 2/2/2023.

Conserve Fuel During Your Daily Commute

Drive a vehicle with stop/ start technology. Stop/start systems, in which engines shut off automatically when drivers brake and restart automatically when the driver lifts his or her foot off the brake pedal, can make more efficient use of fuel. Once exclusive to hybrid cars, stop/start technology is now more widely available and can cut back on fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. That’s especially attractive to ecoconscious commuters who live in big cities where stop-andstart traffic is unavoidable. What’s more, many modern air conditioning compressors operate off electricity and not via a car’s engine, meaning vehicles with stop/start technology will stay cool in the summer even when the engine shuts off.
