While you’re freshening up the house, it’s the perfect time to purge unwanted and unused items, but remember that items in good condition can actually do good for those in need. By donating clothing, electronics, furniture, household goods and vehicles to be sold in The Salvation Army Family and Thrift Stores, you can help transform lives in your local community. A good rule of thumb: if you haven’t used it in the last year and it doesn’t have special sentimental value, it’s probably time to let it go.

GREAT WEDDING GIFT IDEAS
Cash: Cash may seem impersonal, but couples tying the knot will no doubt appreciate an infusion of cash after saying “I do.” According to The Knot, the average wedding cost more than $35,000 in 2016. Even couples whose parents foot the bill for their weddings will appreciate having some extra money on hand that they can use on their honeymoons or put toward a home.

Offer plenty of praise: Always let children know when they are doing a great job and behaving well in a restaurant. Engage kids in conversation and keep them entertained. Boredom or attentionseeking behavior can make dining out with youngsters more difficult to manage.
A treat or a special reward (sticker or coloring book)can be offered to a child who behaves when dining out.

Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

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.
WAYS TO ENJOY MORE DAIRY
Top off meals. Fruit salads, oatmeal or even a baked potato can be enhanced with low-fat yogurt instead of other fat-heavy or sugary toppings like whipped or sour creams.

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
REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME
One of the most popular methods of reducing radon concentrations involves a process called active soil depressurization, or ASD. This is a cost-effective and reliable technique to reduce radon that involves capturing the radon from beneath a building before it can enter the dwelling. A venting system draws the radon gas from the soil beneath the foundation and exhausts it outside of the building - far away from windows and other home openings. A continuously operating fan draws and discharges the radon outdoors.
Radon that has infiltrated water supplies may require other removal methods. Such methods may require spraying water into a contained air space, introducing air bubbles into the water or storing water in a tank until the radon has decayed. Another method employs granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove radon from the water. The GAC method has been more widely tested and is more commonly used in individual homes, according to the EPA.
BUILDING PERMITS PROTECT HOMEOWNERS
You are thinking of making a major renovation to your home. Perhaps it’s time to create that master bedroom suite you long have admired or install that wrap-around porch? What is the first thing that should be done before getting down to business?
The correct way to begin a home remodeling project is to obtain the necessary permits for the job. Many municipalities request individuals obtain permits for a range of work on homes or other structures, such as office buildings. Permits are generally required for all new construction as well as specific modifications that will affect structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. It’s important to check with the local building office prior to beginning work to see which permits you will need beforetheprojectcanbegin.Permitsarenecessarywhetherahomeowner is doing the work or hiring an outside contractor.
Duetothecostandtimeinvolvedwithsecuringpermits,somehomeowners skip this step so they can begin a project promptly. However, this can end up being a costly mistake. Permits might seem like a nuisance, but they actually protect homeowners in various ways.
Hiring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape architects design spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs also are about functionality and meeting the needs of the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after considering what the homeowner wants to experience and how homeowners want to use a given space. Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other landscaping professionals to produce the final results.

HARDSCAPE AND HOW TO USE IT
Choose a theme. The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give their yards an eastern feel, complete with a koi pond and decorative bridge or trellis. A formal English garden, however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mixing too many styles together can take away from the overall appeal.
The pros suggest looking at the overall plan of the design, even if all of the work can’t be completed at once. This way the eventual finished project wil be cohesive.
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.
The University of Maryland Extension notes that stripe smut primarily poses a threat to Kentucky bluegrass that is older than three years. Pale green streaks that run parallel to the veins in the leaves and leaf sheaths are symptomatic of stripe smut, which tends to be noticed in spring and fall, when weather is cool. As the disease progresses, stripes turn black or a silvery gray, causing the leaf blade to shred and curl. After the blades have shred, they turn brown and die. The grass thins because stripe smut makes it vulnerable to problems like drought.

PROTECT NATURAL BEE HABITATS
Not all bees build the wax or paper structures associated with traditional beehives. Those hives may not be readily visible even for bees that do build them. Wood-nesting bees can nest in twigs or dead trees. Bees may nest underground or use the burrows abandoned by small rodents. Before excavating or disturbing more remote areas of the yard, check to see if it is a habitat for bees. Leave some natural areas of the landscape untouched and do not remove twigs, mounds of dirt and native flowers to attract more bees.
TOOLS OF THE HOME RENOVATOR’S TRADE
Home renovation projects can be both exciting and tricky. Do-ityourselfers are inspired by designs showcased in magazines, websites and their own communities. When DIY enthusiasts see a design they like, it’s understandable that they may want to emulate these looks at home. Remodeling is one of the larger DIY undertakings, and it goes beyond simple carpentry. Considering demolition, reconstruction, electrical, plumbing, and masonry work may be part of the DIY package, homeowners who are thinking about renovations must first stock up on the tools and other supplies of the trade. Having the right tools can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that needs to be redone.

HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energy-thirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’reoperatingatpeakcapacity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.

HOW TO FIND A CAR THAT FITS YOUR BUDGET
Choose a different vehicle class - Tyson Jominy,Vice President of Data and Analytics at J.D.Power,says vehicle inventory in November 2021 reached record lows.Although there has been some improvement in 2022, consumers may still have to make some concessions if they need a vehicle promptly. SUVs and pick-up trucks have been some of the hardest inventory to find.Considering a sedan or even a compact car may be the onlywaytogetanewcarquickly.
Come summertime, people anticipate spending plenty of time outdoors enjoying the warm weather and taking in the scenery. In addition to lazy days spent at the beach or around the pool, summer is a great season for road trips and other weekend getaways. While many people look forward to the sunshine and heat of summer, extreme weather can be problematic for vehicles. The warmer season can take its toll on car paint and mechanical components can bake under the glaringsunandheat.Furthermore, temperatures can quickly escalate inside the vehicle, potentially damaging upholstery andanythingelseinside.

Websites allow vacation planners to easily view best available rates, compare alternate dates for travel, room styles, amenities and package plans.
RIDESHARING SAFETY TIPS
Ridesharing is a growing trend among travelers from all walks of life. Some proponents of ridesharing support the concept because they feel it’s an eco-friendly means of traveling, while others find it’s a great way to save money. Still others employ third-party ridesharing services as a responsible, affordable way to travel when going out for a night on the town.
With a greater number of people sharing rides and interacting with strangers than ever before, safety while ridesharing is an issue to take seriously. While ridesharing trips often occur without incident, there have been some instances of violent altercations involving drivers and passengers. According to the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association, ridesharing companies use a background check service to confirm criminal convictions and to make sure drivers are legally able to drive. However, these services may not perform FBI fingerprinting checks conductedbylawenforcementofficials,whereastaxidriversaresubjected fingerprinting. So some ridesharing drivers who have committed crimes in the past but have never been caught may pass ridesharing background checks, but they might not pass tests that taxi companies would insist they submit to, such as fingerprinting tests. While ridesharing, whether it entails carpooling or

CELEBRATING
NOW HERE’S A TIP
How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase first, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.
WEDDING REGISTRY TIPS
Vary the prices of items on the list. In addition to including more expensive items on the registry, make sure to include moderately priced and inexpensive items.This gives guests more options and ensures guests who might be spending a lot to travel to and from the wedding can still purchase gifts without digging too much deeper into their pockets.

EARLY TREATMENT KEY TO MANAGING SEASONAL DISEASES IN CATTLE
(NAPSI) — Two of the more common production-impacting health issues cattlemen see in their herds this time of year are foot rot and pinkeye. Left untreated, each can lead to more serious,chronic health problems.
Foot rot, pinkeye and other common cattle ailments are highly dependent on pasture, weather and other conditions. Foot rot is more problematic when cattle are kept in wet, muddy and manure-heavy lots. Caused by the Fusobacterium Necrophorum bacteria, symptoms include swelling and inflammation between the toes, resulting in lameness and reluctance to walk.
Pinkeye is a highly infectious eye condition that can affect cattle of all ages, often on tall-grass pastures and in environmental situations that can irritate the eye. Flies are a major irritant and vector for the disease, so controlling them and other sources of irritant is critical. Delayed treatment of pinkeye can result in loss of the eye, reduced performance and a less marketable animal.
Fortunately, with timely surveillance and treatment, these infections, along with other diseases, can be easily and cost-effectively managed by producers with a non-prescription injectable product such as Noromycin 300 LA, a highly concentrated, lowdose, fast-acting formulation of oxytetracycline. Effectively used by cattlemen for many years, it is widely available through most farm and veterinary supply companies. Learn more at www.norbrook.com.

Patient Needs Help Discussing High Blood Calcium With Doctor
DEAR DR. ROACH: A friend has been diagnosed with high blood calcium, and when I googled it, the results concerned me. Can you give information on this and how to discuss it with the doctor? I want to forward the column to my friend, and hopefully, the information encourages/helps with the medical discussions between my friend and their doctor. -- Anon.
ANSWER: There are many causes of high blood calcium levels, and some of them are quite scary to read about. Hopefully, your friend’s doctor is already in the process of discovering the underlying cause. Some causes are pretty clear, as some medicines are wellknown to cause high calcium, such as thiazide diuretics like HCTZ.
The first step is being sure that there really is high calcium by repeating the blood level. A tourniquet left on for more than a minute can cause acid buildup in the arm, which displaces calcium and causes a false elevation. This problem can also be avoided by being expeditious with blood draws or by measuring the “ionized calcium” for changes in the protein albumin, which also affects the calcium level. If the calcium level is repeatedly high, the next place to look at is the parathyroid hormone, which is one of the main regulators (along with vitamin D) of blood calcium levels. Most cases of high calcium in otherwise healthy people are caused by excess parathyroid hormone, most often from a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland. In the unusual case that this isn’t the issue, less-common causes, including excess vitamin D and some cancers, should also be considered. As far as an encouraging discussion, if your friend’s doctor isn’t bringing it up (which they should), being as open-ended as possible is best, with questions such as: “Why is my calcium high? Do I need to do anything about it?”

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.
Watermelons provide cooling, juicy refreshment during the warm days of summer. But while they’re most associated with summer, watermelons can typically be found in grocery stores yearround. Watermelons are members of the cucurbitaceae family, which includes other gourds, such as pumpkin, squash and cucumber. Watermelons can be considered a fruit or a vegetable. In some areas of the world, watermelons are considered a fruit used primarily in snacks and desserts. In Russia, watermelon rind is pickled, while some Asian countries stir-fry or stew watermelons. To quench one’s curiosity about watermelons, the following are six facts about this beloved food, courtesy of The Watermelon Board.
1. Washing watermelons before cutting into them will help prevent the transfer of any dirt or bacteria into the fleshy center.
2. An average 15- to 20-pound watermelon offers 90 6-ounce servings.
3. Watermelons grow in warm climates and are harvested from Florida to Guatemala. Residents of the United States who want to enjoy domestically grown watermelons should look for them in June, July and August.
4. Seedless watermelons contain small, white “seeds.” These are actually seed coats that didn’t fully form. Crossing watermelons that are a diploid plant (having two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) will form a fruit with a triploid seed three sets of chromosomes). It’s the triploid that produces seedless watermelons.
5. Whole watermelons do not necessarily need to be refrigerated. But once cut, any remaining pieces should be refrigerated.
6. Watermelons are 92 percent water, and they’re the perfect carrying case for beverages. Early explorers even used watermelons as canteens.
It is with great sadness that today that I must announce to my patients, friends and family that my health has taken a turn for the worse and I am forced to retire immediately.

Ways to Become More Active Every Day
In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, it’s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do that by making choices that build activity in your day. Some examples include:
• Taking the stairs
• Printing to the printer farthest away from your desk at work
• Getting off the bus or subway one stop early
• Parking in the farthest space from the door
• Walking around while you are on the phone or having walking meetings
Avon Kids Take Flight in First Ever River Hawk Run Camp
BY JOSHUA WILLIAMS
The Town of Avon recreation department hosted their first ever River Hawk Run Camp, organized by the Avon Central School Cross Country program. e four-day program was spread over two weeks and culminated with a race on the Cross Country course. e kids learned how to improve their form, properly pace themselves, and enjoy the benefits of running and wellness.
Christine Nichols, River Hawk Run Camp Co-Director and Relentless Runners Coach, said, “ e goal of this run camp was to show kids that running can be fun and that with hard work they can accomplish anything. Seeing the kids come back each day ready to work and push themselves with a smile on their faces was everything. I truly hope these kids will remember the lessons they learned and know they will always have running as a positive in their life.”
e camp included members of the Avon River Hawk Cross country program who volunteered their time.
Hunter Rumfola, Avon Central School Senior and River Hawk Varsity member, said, “I was amazed by the work ethic and overall drive the kids brought to camp. It was truly a fun experience to see the kids learn and enjoy the meaning behind running.”
Over 30 kids participated in the camp, and on race day, there were 22 finishers on either a .75mi loop course or an advanced 1.3mi race.
Maria Geary, Junior at Avon Central School and River Hawk Varsity Runner, said, “Over the four days we saw the kids’ interest and ability grow quickly; it was truly eye opening. e kids had a lot of fun competing and cheering each other on.”
Coaches at the camp included Avon Cross Country Varsity Coach, Josh Williams, Modified Cross Country Coach, Tim Baumer, Michelle Faulker, and Christine Nichols.
Volunteers included Maria Geary, Bennett Wallin, Aidan Lindstrom, Erin Kinney, Finn Soucy, Jordan Murray, Quinn Ford, Hunter Rumfola, Kayla Clinton, Owen Hitchcock, Abby Webster, Sarah Webster, and Olivia Mack.

Avon Girls on the Run members provided post-race snacks and refreshments.
e boys winner on the Advanced course was 10-yearold incoming 5th grader, Tyler Hanvey, with a time of 9:52. He said, “During the camp, I improved my form and learned to pace myself so I didn’t get tired. e accomplishment wasn’t all about winning but being able to run that far and not stop.”
Hanvey added, “When my mom first told me about it, I wasn’t sure. I thought running was a punishment but a er this camp I realize how much fun it could be.” He now looks forward to being able to compete in middle school when he

Reach out to your neighbor first, not the town
Thankful
I want to thank the Livingston County DOT workers who were working in Ossian next to my house on July 31st when I fell outside. They saw me fall and came to my rescue as I couldn't get up by myself. I didn't catch their names unfortunately, but I will forever be thankful for them coming to my aid. Thank you once again to those wonderful men for helping a klutzy old lady.
Good Samaritan
There are still good people out there making the world a better place. While bringing my 90 year old mother to her doctor’s appointment, my vehicle’s clutch decided to give out on me several blocks from our destination. Stranded in the middle of the road unable to move, a Good Samaritan stopped and helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. If that wasn’t enough, he then drove us the rest of the way to her doctor’s appointment, avoiding a long walk for my aging mother. In the midst of our turmoil I didn’t get his name, But after thanking him profusely, I wanted to honor him here for his unselfish deeds. We need more people like this man in his Jeep to share kindness and concern for others. Thank you.
To the neighbor who complained about my fence, I’m sorry I didn’t get it fixed fast enough for you. I’ve been here nearly 50 years. You could have come and told me it was bothering you. I never saw any kids out. If you had a problem, you could have offered to help fix it. I called six companies and one called back five days later. My son is my caregiver and fixes everything, plus yardwork, so it’s hard for him to do everything. Two years ago, my husband of 60 years died and my taxes went up $1,000. Twomonths later, my 6 year old fridge quit, so $1,600 later at Thanksgiving I got a new one. Then my furnace quit. I made payments for that (I also had major surgery), then my microwave went at Christmas. I’ll be 82 next week, and all my ‘old’ neighbors have either died or moved. This is a country where neighbors have always gotten along. So, if you have any more problems, go to the person, not the town.
Price for product repair is very high
Nowadays it is getting very pricey to get a repair person for a product that is broken even though a warranty may apply. In my case I bought an inside chair lift for my 12 indoor stairs about 10 months ago that go from the 1st to the 2nd floor. Unfortunately for me and my wife the plastic switch that operates it broke off. The repair guy came over and analyzed the situation. He stated that the switch was still under warranty and he’d be back in about a week to install a new piece. When he came back he installed the new piece in less than 5 minutes. While the part or parts were free, the two service calls from [business name] cost me a whopping $374.22. Outrageous!
Question: Do you know how to score a bowling game? Yes, you can only knock down 10 pins per frame. And there are only 10 frames per game. So how does a perfect score add up to 300?
Answer: It’s more complicated than that. Strikes and spares have their own special (bonus) scoring system. And the 10th frame allows for one or two extra balls if you knock all the pins down.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* When patching up cracks in plaster walls, if the crack is large or it's a small hole, stuff it with wadded-up newspaper or steel wool in order to fill the crack. Apply the plaster over the top.
* Recipe substitution: For each cup of brown sugar needed, use 1 cup of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses.
* Ever had to deal with early arrivals at your garage sale? If so, you know it can be annoying and disruptive. When advertising your sale, use the block number instead of your house number. Still easy to find, but you're less likely to get staked out.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I have a 1-year-old mixed-breed puppy named "Star" who I'd love to take on Saturday hikes with me. I'm an avid hiker who can do up to 20 miles or more per day. Is this too much for a young dog like her to handle? -- Gary in Boulder, Colorado
DEAR GARY: Your instincts are right-on -- that kind of mileage is too much for a puppy. But, depending on the dog, you can build Star's stamina gradually, adding miles as she grows. For a 1-year-old puppy, start with no more than a mile or two, and keep it light and fun. If Star whines at three-quarters of a mile, take a break for a few minutes and see if she'll go on. If she shows signs of tiredness, like lagging behind and not being curious about things around her, it's time to head back. Some pet parents will carry their puppy for the remaining miles, but that's up to you -- I think that it's better to just gradually build the miles.
Notice that I also said "depending on the dog." Some dogs just aren't enthusiastic about hiking long miles. Others -- especially small dogs, toy and pocket breeds -- cannot walk very far without tiring. (Fortunately, they can be carried easily.) Don't lament if hiking ultimately isn't Star's thing; just build an outdoor schedule where she can share in the fun on some days with short hikes, and you can still get in lots of mileage while she remains at home or with a friend.
An adult dog can do 5 to 20 miles depending on their fitness and enthusiasm. But you'll need to adjust your lifestyle to gradually bring Star up to that kind of distance.

STRAWBERRY-GLAZED FRENCH TOAST WITH SWEETENED SOUR CREAM Serves 4
• 8 1-inch-thick bread slices, cut from a country or peasant loaf
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 4 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, plus 1/2 teaspoon
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves (see note 2)
1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until dry and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes per side. Watch carefully so that the bread does not burn. Remove the bread from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, egg yolks, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish works well). Add the
toasted bread slices and soak them 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate or platter.
3. Place a large, heavy frying pan over low to medium heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of the butter, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. When melted, add enough bread slices to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook slowly until the slices are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and place in the warm oven. Repeat, adding more butter to the pan as needed until all the bread slices have been sautéed.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
5. When ready to serve, spread each toast with a thin coating of strawberry jam and top with a dollop of sweetened sour cream.
Note 1: The best bread for this dish is an unsliced loaf of good-quality peasant or country bread, preferably one without an extra-hard crust. One that is rectangular, rather than round, is more convenient, but either will do. Cut off the ends of the loaf, and reserve for another use. Then slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. If your loaf is large and the slices seem large, cut them in half.
Note 2: You can try other jams, preserves or marmalades. Cherry, raspberry or peach preserves and orange marmalade are other possibilities.

Joseph A. Hopper
August 5, 2024
Geneseo – On the afternoon of August 5, 2024, Joseph A. Hopper went home to be with the Lord at the age of 51,after a brave and courageous battle with brain cancer. Joe married the love of his life, Terri Hopper, in 1995. Terri was Joe’s rock and constant source of strength throughout their marriage. Her unending love and support were evident in their daily lives as they built their beautiful family in Geneseo. A natural jokester with a serious side, he was known for his love of family and his passion for life. Joe loved to travel with his family and whether he was soaking up sunrises on sandy beaches, fishing in Alaska’s frigid waters, or climbing glaciers and mountain tops, Joe lived life to the fullest. Joe served proudly as a highly respected police officer. His courage and loyalty were evident in every aspect of his law enforcement career and brotherhood. He was a sergeant, investigator, firearms instructor, served on FBI and drug task forces and so much more. Beyond his professional achievements, Joe touched countless lives with his kindness, humor, and generosity. He had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel valued and important,leaving a lasting impression on friends, family, and those he served. Joe’s legacy will be remembered through the countless stories of his compassion and the unforgettable mark he left on those who had the privilege of knowing him. Upon retiring from law enforcement from the Greece Police Department, Joe went back to his roots of farming where he found peace and purpose in working the land on a tractor.His deep faith was nurtured through fellowship with his friends where he found strength and solace as he fought cancer like a warrior. He taught us the value of hard work, integrity, and above all, the importance of God and family. He was most proud of his children and a faithful Buffalo Bills fan. He will truly be missed.
Joe is survived by his wife, Terri Hopper; daughter and son-in-law, Hailey (Andrew) Guesno, and son, Joseph Hopper; grandson: Knox Joseph Guesno; mother,Sandra Scherrer (step-father,George Scherrer);father,Joseph Hopper (step-mother, Betty Hopper); sisters and brothers-in-law, Tracy (David) Corneliussen, Kimberly (David) Burns, Katrina Scherrer; step-siblings, Gary Chichester,Tina Schofield; Nieces and Nephews, Aunts and Uncles.
Friends may call Sunday, August 11 from 4-7 P.M. at the Calvary Chapel, 181 South Main Street in Perry, where his service will be held Monday, August 12th at 1 P.M. Private interment. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Joe’s memory to the Pediatric Neuro-oncology Consortium (PNOC), which specializes in clinical trials on rare brain tumors, their address is PNOC Foundation, 1005 Northgate Drive #224, San Rafael, CA 94903.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
Personalize your connections. The days of sharing a post-work drink with a colleague may be over. But networking in the digital age need not be impersonal. When using professional networking sites such as LinkedIn, personalize the messages you send to other professionals when inviting them to join your network. Use the message to briefly introduce yourself and explain your connection before explaining why you want the person to become part of your network. Welcome any questions and warmly thank them for their time. This personal touch can make you stand out in a digital sea of people, many of whom simply want to add other professionals to their network without necessarily making genuine connections.
