DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

Dear Voters in the Geneseo School District

I would like to thank the 322 district voters who cast their ballots to reelect me to the Geneseo Central School Board of Education. Although we were unsuccessful, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who voted for me, allowed me to put campaign signs in their yards, made calls on my behalf, and encouraged me to run for another term. I will always be grateful. Congratulations to Mrs. Muscarella and Mr. Niedermaier who will be starting new board terms in July. I wish them the best of luck.

And I would especially like to thank GCS Superintendent Cindy Flowers, whose skilled and steady leadership has made our school one of the best in the area. As CEO of our organization she has hired extremely talented administrators, faculty and staff who together make our school so successful. Geneseo Central School is very fortunate to have her at the helm. It’s been a pleasure working with her.

ank you again, David Dwyer

SHADE-TOLERANT PLANTS COMPLETE LANDSCAPES

Plants need sunlight to thrive and grow, but some need less sunlight than others. People who find their landscapes are less supportive to sun-loving plants can choose from a variety of shade-tolerant plants, shrubs and trees.

Shade tolerance refers to a plant’s ability to withstand low levels of light. Certain plants have adapted this feature to survive in the wild. Plants that grow at the base of forest floors, for example, will get less sunlight than others outside of the tree canopy. Such adaptations enable a wide variety of foliage to grow even though they are not exposed to much sunlight. While sun-loving plants often have broad leaves and expend significant energy to capture sunlight for photosynthesis, shade-tolerant plants expend less energy and tend to be more efficient consumers of soil nutrients and sunlight.

Penn State Extension’s Plant and Pests division says the amount of shade a plant is growing under will directly affect the density of the foliage and the plant’s flowering and fruiting characteristics. Blending shade-tolerant plants into the landscape can be an effective use of space. Before choosing plants for an existing landscape, it’s important to assess the level of shade or sun the plants will receive.

Once homeowners understand which type of shade they are dealing with, they can then visit plant nurseries and select their plants. Most greenery comes with care instructions that include recommendations regarding the amount of shade/sunlight the plant will need to do well. If further assistance is needed, a knowledgeable employee can make suggestions based on landscape needs.

Shade-tolerant plants can make welcome additions to the landscape, offering greenery and color in the darker areas of a property.

TELLING SIGNS COMMON INSECTS ARE INFESTING A LAWN

Chinch bugs: The experts at BobVila.com report that chinch bugs are not necessarily problematic when their populations are limited to around 10 to 15 bugs per square foot of lawn. In such instances, chinch bug populations are generally controlled by ants and ladybugs. However, extreme heat and drought, problems that have plagued various regions in North America in recent years, reduce the populations of bugs that feed on chinch bugs,thus increasing the population of these unwanted guests that feed on grass.GardenTech® indicates that damage from chinch bugs is most visible between June and September.That damage begins with grass taking on a purple tinge before it turns yellow and then brown after wilting.

DESIGN A GARDEN FOR ALL SENSES

The lively sounds of the garden are created by the wildlife that come to pollinate and enjoy the environment gardeners have created. By choosing indigenous plants, gardeners can be sure that insects and small critters will seek refuge within the foliage.

Songbirds also will add character to a yard. The Audubon Society suggests including a water source and a songbird border of shrubs along your property’s edge. Provide food sources and make sure they are located a fair distance from the main action of the yard so as not to scare off birds. Wait for musical chickadees, goldfinches, orioles, and cardinals to arrive and enjoy the accommodations.

DID

YOU KNOW? As more people work remotely, electricians and safety advocates are warning that various missteps may be putting people at unnecessary risk of fire and other unsafe conditions. Electrical equipment is necessary to run home offices just like it is traditional offices. Some people may find they have a shortage of electrical outlets to power their devices, and as a result they may turn to extension cords or power strips. While that may seem like an easy fix, it is easy to inadvertently overload outlets and circuits by connecting more than one power strip or extension cord together in a practice known as “daisy chaining.” According to the U.S. Office of Compliance, using a daisy chain in the workplace violates the National Electrical Code as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s rules. While it may not break code at home, overloading any outlets increases risk for fire. The National Fire Protection Association indicates that more than 45,000 residential fires are started each year due to electrical failure and malfunction. Overload causes products to overheat, and that can spark fires in the power cords themselves or inside the wall where electrical lines are hidden.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Keeping your pet healthy on a tight budget

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a dog and a cat, and my last vet visit cost over $300. It’s incredibly difficult to pay for vet care on top of the ridiculous cost of housing, grocery prices and my own health care costs. How can I keep pet care affordable? -- John in Newton, Massachusetts

DEAR JOHN: Pet care can be quite pricey, and I know you want the best for your dog and cat. I just laid out a few hundred dollars for my senior cat’s checkup and tests, so I feel your pain.

e Humane Society of the United States has some good information about cost-saving options, discounted veterinary services and ways to stretch out payments: www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet.

One interesting avenue is veterinary colleges. Today, almost every state has at least one school of veterinary medicine, and many operate lowcost clinics.

Check the town hall or municipal website for upcoming shot clinics. ese are held in many communities at least once a year at an easy to access location (like a pet store) and offer required vaccinations at a very affordable cost. Some clinics also offer microchip services and pet wellness exams for a few dollars more.

Finally, if you have the means and just want to get your budget under control, take a look at pet insurance. ere are a number of companies providing this service, with several coverage options -- including reimbursing the cost of annual exams and vaccinations, as well as care for unplanned injuries and illnesses. Coverage varies, and it’s important to read the fine print and compare plans closely, but it can really help keep unexpected costs from derailing your checking account.

Jo-Jo is a 1 year old German Shepherd. She loves people, is spayed, housetrained and crate trained but she must be the only pet in the home. Go to www.susieqdogresq.com for more information and to fill out an application or call 585-346-6747

HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES

Arguably one of the most challenging - and often frustrating - components about puppyhood is training the dog to use the outdoors for bathroom needs. It’s easy to underestimate the time involved in housebreaking a puppy. The Humane Society of America says puppies typically can control their bladders for one hour for every month of age. That means if the dog is three months old, he can hold it for about three hours.

Houdini is very affectionate and loves to jump from the floor up to my shoulder for a cuddle. He is always purring and likes to come into the house through the bathroom window. He loves people and his buddy Scotty. He can open the kitchen cabinet when he wants a treat.

Send us a photo and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Submit online at gvpennysaver.com - Share With Us. Or, Mail to: PO Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

Preheat the broiler. Arrange the bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet, slip under the broiler and toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. This should take only a few minutes.

While the bread is toasting, halve the peaches lengthwise, pit them and then peel each half. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, keeping the shape of each half intact.

When the bread is ready, remove from the broiler and brush each slice on both sides with olive oil. Spread one-fourth of the cheese on each slice of warm bread, place a sliced peach half on top, and serve.

GRADUATION GIFT IDEAS

Time capsule: Let the graduate pull together a series of items that exemplify some of the best days of their lives. These items can then be tucked away in the capsule and opened years from now.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.

DID YOU KNOW? Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health.The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings. The frequency of giving back to one’s community also may affect just how much volunteering affects mental health. Study participants who volunteered at least once per month rated their mental health even higher than those who volunteered but did so infrequently.

The event will take place throughout all of the Riverton Community Association. Please stop by the RCA office at 280 Scottsville - W. Henrietta Rd, West Henrietta, NY 14586 to pick up a map of participating locations.

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE

Handle limited seats with courtesy. Many schools limit the number of seats each student can reserve for guests. This can make it tricky when there are a number of people who are worthy of an invite. Explain to friends and family who you cannot invite that you would love to have them there but are restricted by ticket allotments. Try to have both sides of the family represented. Usually an invite to the after-party will thwart any hard feelings.

MOMENTS IN TIME

* On June 4, 1986, Jonathan Pollard pleads guilty to espionage for selling top-secret U.S. military intelligence information to Israel. The former Navy intelligence analyst sold enough classified documents to fill a medium-sized room. He was sentenced to life in prison. (The History Channel)

Here’s A Tip

* If you keep aloe around for soothing your skin a er being out in the sun, take this tip from J.C. in Florida: “Keep aloe in your fridge; it keeps it cool, and it feels even more refreshing.”

* Want to eat more fruits and veggies? Keep pre-cut fruit and easy veggie dippers like carrots, bell pepper strips and celery at eye level in see-through containers in your fridge. e more you see it, the more you will eat it.

* To create an easy resting mat for toddlers, sew three pillowcases together in a row along the long end. When needed, stuff three pillows in, and it creates a long mat, suitable for naptime or TV time.

Memorial Day

Local DMV

Memorial Day in our community is a heartfelt celebration combining remembrance with the joyful start of summer. From what I saw, so many towns waved their flags and patriotic decorations, honoring the brave souls who served our nation even through the rain. The annual parade is a highlight, featuring local marching bands, veterans, and community groups proudly making their way down Main Street. Thank you to those involved.

CSA Boxes

Went to local DMV with son to get his permit. He lost his glasses at work so went to have eye appointment to get new ones. With all paperwork in hand from eye exam DMV said there’s no proof of passing eye exam even though he has new prescription for glasses. Had to go back to eye glass place 45 min drive to have eye Dr. Sign paper saying he passed eye test. Then still given hassle because he didn’t have his glasses. What is an eye test paperwork for then. Tired of people wasting time even eye place said same paper they gave him. Just a waste of time on both ends.

A big shoutout to our local farms for the CSA boxes that are starting out for the season. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated!

YOLO

Groceries

We would like to thank everyone who was present at Seneca Farms last weekend for tolerating our flamboyant rambunctious cast party. We do realize that we were a little on the loud side, but hey, YOLO! we are honestly so surprised you didn’t critique our exuberant celebrations. we may have had a little too much ice cream, but hey, YOLO! We also would like too thank all of the workers who stayed late to deliver that heavenly treat known as ice cream to each and every one and all of us. Seneca Farms, you are the light that guides us in this confusing world.

We keep talking about high prices for food. There’s all kinds of reasons or excuses for this. COVID? That’s over. Shipping from California Ports. That’s over. Fuel cost vary. So why aren’t costs returning to the original prices? I went into one store for hotdogs. It seemed way too expensive so I went to a different store. I bought 3x the amount for $2.50 more. There’s no excuse other than corporate GREED taking advantage of consumers. I’m sick of these companies or corporations bleeding us dry. The old saying, “the rich get richer, the poor get poorer”is a fact”! Please do your homework even if the store is local or convenient. That’s the only way we can fight back.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE DRAFTING A LIVING WILL

Do I want to remove the burden of tough choices from my loved ones? A living will relieves grieving loved ones of the responsibility of making challenging decisions of invoking life-saving procedures or not - particularly if they’re not sure what you desire.

ADAPT TO AUTOMOTIVE TECH

Learn the tech yourself: Assistance technologies are not all one and the same. Vehicle manufacturers have their own systems and there can be a learning curve when adapting to a new one. If you aspire to teach a senior how to utilize the assistance technologies in his or her vehicle, first learn the tech on your own. If both you and your aging friend or family member own a Subaru, chances are you already know how to use the tech in your loved one’s vehicle. If you drive cars made by different manufacturers, visit the dealership where your loved one bought his or her car and ask for a quick tutorial on all the safety features in the vehicle. Salesman demonstrate these features every day, so it shouldn’t take long for them to show you the ropes.

My hostas have a milky substance coming out of the new shoots. This is the first time I have ever seen this. I’ve cut off the affected shoots. Any ideas as to the cause of this?

Without seeing the plant to identify exactly what it could be,a white “milky substance” around your hostas could be a number of things, including two of themostcommon:anthracnoseand slime mold.

spot on. Removing the affected area is the best treatment, being careful not to allow spores to spread. Very often mulch fosters such growth and spores spread even with the best of intentions. I have found the removal of all debris around hostas to be the best practice in preventing slime mold. Larger growth concentrations, though, may call for the use of a fungicide, which I recommend not using without consulting your local Cornell Cooperative Extension Office.

most common and most widespread in cultivating good hosta growth. The good news with anthracnose is that it won’t kill the plant, but treating it can be tricky. To rid your garden of this fungus could involve a multi-step approach, particularly if the fungus goes unnoticed for some time. I would begin by removing the affected plant and any fungal growth noticeable on the mulch or ground surrounding it. Then, contact your local Cornell Cooperative Extension office. The extension office has at

its disposal a number of resources, including a team of Master Gardeners who can assist with identifying the problem and recommending specific resources for further assistance.

Patient Seems Unsure of ALS Diagnosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: My question is about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). I have been diagnosed with this horrible, debilitating disease, and I don’t know where I am headed. I went to a hospital for a second opinion and additional testing to rule out other possible causes of this numbness. Nary a test was done -- the neurologist looked at the electromyography (EMG) done by a neuromuscular doctor at another facility, and he just agreed with the diagnosis.

I wanted to get tests done to see if it was perhaps a concussion, if it was from using yard sprays or from COVID vaccines, or if it was due to my having a terrible bad back for years, but none of these were even considered. I am deteriorating rapidly. Would you please give me some suggestions? Am I wrong for seeking other causes? -- J.B.

ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with ALS. I understand why you would like to believe there are other possibilities for this because there are no treatments for ALS that can stop the progression of this fatal disease.

The diagnosis of ALS is made after a thorough examination and history review. Electrodiagnostic studies, like an EMG or a nerve conduction test, can help support the diagnosis, but they do not make the diagnosis themselves. The nerve conduction study is normal for ALS, while the EMG shows the nerves that are not connecting to the muscles. Other diseases of the muscles and muscle nerves should be considered. MRI scans are usually performed, as they can identify conditions that mimic ALS. The terrible back you mention could include a condition called cervical myelopathy, which has some features that can be mistaken for ALS. Routine blood and urine testing should be done to exclude other conditions, such as Lyme disease, and the spinal fluid is sometimes analyzed if the neurologist suspects immune-medicated nerve disease. However, none of the other possibilities that you mention is likely to be confused for ALS by an experienced neurologist who does a complete exam.

I have three concerns: The first is that you are suggesting you may not have had a thorough evaluation so far. Second, the only symptom you mention is numbness, and although this can occasionally happen with ALS, you are much more likely to have weakness and muscle twitching without numbness. Third, ALS tends to progress slowly, not rapidly.

For all these reasons, and because you need to be sure of your condition, I recommend getting another opinion from a neurologist who doesn’t rely on someone else’s history review and exam.

STOCK UP ON HEALTHFUL FOOD

(NAPSI) — During these challenging times, people are avoiding the supermarket and, instead, stocking up on shelf-stable and frozen foods. Unfortunately, these can often be loaded with preservatives and lack nutrition. Many families also resort to take-out foods that can be high in sodium, hydrogenated fats and refined sugars.

“The best solution is to find healthy, prepared products that can be purchased in bulk at the supermarket, online and delivered to your doorstep,” advises consumer trends expert Merilee Kern.

One of Kern’s personal favorites is Veggies Made Great, which offers easy, familyfriendly and delicious veggie-rich meals and snacks such as muffins, frittatas and veggie cakes. They can fill freezers and keep families healthy—even during stressful times.

Vegetables including carrots, zucchini and kale are the first and primary ingredients in any Veggies Made Great item, and all are free of gluten, soy, peanuts and dairy. Available in the freezer section, each is individually wrapped and can be quickly and easily heated in the oven or microwave. It’s an easy and tasty way to have veggiedriven nutrition on the menu every day.

You can find them at www.TheHealthfoodStore.com and locate retailers at www.VeggiesMadeGreat.com.

HOW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE HELPING THE DEAF

Telecommunications According to the NDC, telecommunications technology has evolved considerably in recent decades. That evolution has made it easier than ever for deaf individuals to communicate.

The NDC notes that telecommunications technology for deaf individuals is an umbrella term that includes telephone devices, platforms and services that are employed when standard phones are ineffective. The NDC identifies three primary telecommunications services:

1. Video relay service (VRS)

2. Telecommunications relay service (TRS)

3. Video remote interpreting (VRI)

Regulated by the Federal Communications Commission,VRS andTRS are free programs, whereas VRI is a fee-based service. TRS is a text-driven service that, unlike VRI and VRS, does not employ video.

Community, Collaboration, and Curtain Calls: Celebrating Decades of Theater with Geneseo Community Players

BY SUZIE WELLS

Through the combined efforts of the Geneseo Rotary Club, the State Teacher’s College, and the community, Geneseo Community Players (GCP) was formed in 1950. GCP has produced one, two, and as many as four full-length productions each year since (besides its three-year COVID break).

e GCP is led by a board of area residents with varied experience who feel a strong commitment to the community and theater, dedicated to engaging local talent for all production aspects. e GCP is thankful for arts patrons and grants from the Genesee Valley Council for the Arts and Rochester Area Community Foundation to provide live theatre experiences for the public.

Providing Geneseo and surrounding communities with entertaining, high-quality theatrical productions, GCP selects titles that are a mixture of classic and newer offerings. GCP arranges opportunities for first-time playwrights, directors, performers, and technical artists to participate onstage and backstage.

In the next few years, they’d like to produce not just one or two events a year but entire seasons of theatre at a variety of venues. ey want to reach missed audiences and bring back fans who have forgotten the magic they can find in a theatre.

GCP boasts the magic of productions with casts of performers and technical crew in various age groups. ere, younger folks “catch the theater bug” as adults are reminded why they got involved in theatre in the first place and feed off the enthusiasm of the younger participants. GCP strives to incorporate these opportunities as much as possible. ey also pair veteran directors with young performers in theatre camps. Mentoring also occurs within stage crews as younger folks are taught how to work lights, fly rails, organize props, call cues, and other jobs. Training is inherent in the process.

Over the years, a variety of talented performers have graced the stage in GCP productions. Ages range from those well into their eighties and nineties to youth as young as seven. In shows like Annie and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, they’ve seen the full range. ey’ve even had dogs onstage in e Wizard of Oz and Annie who have been younger and older than their scene partners!

Asking about personal favorite productions, GCP members said is “like asking a parent which of their children is the favorite. ere are classics like Oliver, Annie, and Music Man that GCP has performed multiple times in different decades. Different cast members and stage crews interpret similar material, which makes the process exciting. Productions also o en include intergenerational casts, with family members bowing together during curtain calls. Particularly special was the full circle moment when Eric Grammas, who began as a young actor in Oliver, in his twenties directed the poignant Brighton Beach Memoirs, including his parents in the cast.”

e GCP is currently casting and beginning work on Rupert Holmes’ e Mystery of Edwin Drood, a warm-hearted show-withina-show that will captivate audiences with its charm and interactive whodunit intrigue loosely based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished

mystery. Performances are scheduled for July 19-21, 2024.

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING

Look for a new job or fresh income streams. A rising cost of living is a concern for people from all walks of life, but it may be especially concerning for retirees or individuals with costs like childcare that can be hard to pare back. In such instances, individuals can look for new a job or fresh income streams. According to the Q3 2021 CNBC | Momentive Small Business Survey, 50 percent of small business owners say it’s gotten harder to find qualified people to hire compared to a year ago. And nearly one-third of survey respondents indicate they have open roles they have not been able to fill for at least three months. Individuals can explore local employment opportunities in an effort to find a new, more lucrative job that can help them combat a rising cost of living. Others who want to remain in their jobs can look for part-time work to supplement their existing income.

DID YOU KNOW? A landmark study conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom discovered a notable link between low to moderate alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. According to the Million Women Study, every 10 grams (roughly 0.35 ounces) of alcohol a woman consumed per day was associated with a 12 percent increase in her risk for breast cancer. The Million Women Study focused on various areas of women’s health but included 28,000 women who had breast cancer. In addition, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that more than 100 epidemiologic studies have examined a potential association between alcohol consumption and the risk for breast cancer, consistently finding that risk for the disease increases as alcohol intake increases.
