A SWEET TREAT FOR GET-TOGETHERS

Yields 64

Crust

21/2 cups all-purpose ﬂour

3/4 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cups butter or margarine, melted

Filling

3 cups pecan halves, divided

2 cups packed brown sugar

3 eggs

4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt

Powdered sugar, optional

Preheat oven to 350 F. For crust, combine ﬂour, powdered sugar and baking soda in a batter bowl. Add butter; mix until crumbly. Lightly press crumb mixture over bottom of stoneware bar pan; roll lightly. Bake 15 minutes; remove from oven to a cooling rack.

Meanwhile for filling, reserve 1 cup of the pecans for garnish; chop remaining pecans. Combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Pour filling over warm crust, spreading to edges of pan. Arrange remaining pecan halves over filling. Bake 17 to 19 minutes, or until filling is set in center. Remove from oven; cool completely.

Rude and Dishonest People

A Winning Summer Reading Program

Thanks to the Rush Public Library staff for a wonderful summer reading program. Readers had lots of books to choose from even with the kids’ book section being closed for repairs. The staff is so enthusiastic and friendly—they are special people! Thanks!

A Huge THANK YOU

In these times of rising food prices, it is so wonderful to see all the items that the Avon community donates to the Avon Food Pantry. They give not only non-perishable foods but toiletries, laundry soaps and overages from their garden. It is heart warming to see all the items coming in to help people in need.

A big THANK YOU to all.

Went to CHURCH rummage sale just a few minutes ago. It started at 8. I was the last person in line. Myself and the lady in front of me had to take our time going down two ﬂights of stairs. Over 10 people found out the books were upstairs and made their way past us, almost knocking into us. Then a lady blocked the jewelry spot and no one was able to look. I was pushed again, so I paid for my 2 items and said “Sorry, I’m getting pushed around too much to look further.” The next person in line was a collector. The lady who was taking the money said “I marked these and they weren’t $2.00 each.” He said “it’s what’s marked,” and she said “Ok. Why?” It was a CHURCH trying to raise some money. How do you live with yourself? The cashier even said that wasn’t the price, he didn’t care. I left but paid what the price was. How do you cheat a church?

Balloon Releases Should Be Illegal

I think balloon releases should be illegal. Look it up: the harmful effects of balloon releases. Also you can look up ecofriendly alternatives to balloon releases. Remember, birds, ﬁsh, turtles, pets or any animal in the world can suffer due to balloon releases.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Botox Injections Used to Treat Overactive Bladder

DEAR DR. ROACH: In two weeks, I am supposed to get Botox injections for my overactive bladder (OAB) and my frequent need to urinate at nighttime. Are these injections safe? Are there any bad side effects? How long do they work? -- D.J.

ANSWER: The initial treatment for OAB symptoms usually consists of lifestyle changes (i.e., quitting smoking and avoiding medications that worsen symptoms at night), pelvic ﬂoor muscle exercises, and bladder training. If these are ineffective, medication is often used. If medications don’t work or cannot be tolerated, additional treatments are considered, such as Botox.

The underlying problem with an OAB are uncontrolled bladder spasms. Botox is a powerful suppressor of muscle activity. If just the right amount is used, the excess muscle spasms are reduced, and the person gets good results. However, if too much is used, the person may not be able to urinate spontaneously at all, so your urologist will be giving you instructions on how to self-catheterize, in case you are unable to void your bladder after the injection.

If you note that the leakage has worsened a week or so after the procedure, this is a big clue that the bladder is not functioning after the injection. This can last for months, but typically no more than three months. Fortunately, this complication happens uncommonly, in about 2%-7% of people. Other complications include infections and bleeding, but these are not common. Antibiotics are given to reduce the risk of infection. Very rarely, muscles outside of the bladder are affected, including generalized weakness and eye muscle weakness.

When it works well, most people start noticing beneﬁt in a week or so, and relief typically lasts 9-12 months before another injection is given.

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.

Helps reduce inflammation: Honey is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, honey can help treat diabetes, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and other diseases traced back to widespread inflammation, according to Greek researcher Natalia Vallianou of the Evangelismos Hospital in Athens.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified,talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

DatafromtheUnitedStatesDepartment of Justice indicates that partner violence accounted for 20 percent of all violent crime in the U.S. in 2018. The World Health Organization deﬁnes intimate partner violence as behavior within an intimate relationship that causes physical, sexual or psychological harm. Such violence can include acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse, and controlling behaviors. Violence perpetrated by both current and former spouses and partners falls under the umbrella of intimate partner violence. Domestic violence is so prevalent that the National Network to End Domestic Violence reports that it ﬁelds more than 19,000 calls on a typical day. Anyone who is a victim of domestic violence or suspects a loved one or acquaintance is being abused is urged to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-7873224 (TTY) right away.

PITCH IN AND SAVE MONEY

Home improvement projects can be expensive. While the size and complexity of a project will affect how expensive the project is, homeowners can expect to shell out a pretty penny when they renovate or remodel areas of their home.

According to HomeAdvisor, an online resource for homeowners looking to connect with home improvement, maintenance and repair professionals, the average bathroom remodeling project costs $9,348, while the average home addition costs slightly less than $41,000. But renovation-minded homeowners need not reconsider their commitment to remodeling, as there are various ways to cut the costs associated with home improvement projects.

One such way is for homeowners to pitch in and do some of the work themselves. Calculating labor costs can be difﬁcult, as such costs can vary greatly depending on the project, the contractor and the amount of hired help that contractor intends to employ. However, some estimates suggest labor will account for anywhere from 25 to 50 percent of the overall cost of the project. So it’s no surprise that homeowners can save themselves substantial amounts of money by doing some of the work themselves. Homeowners who intend to do some of the labor themselves should discuss this plan with contractors during the vetting process. Before hiring a contractor, make sure homeowners’ expected labor contributions are clearly deﬁned in the contract. It’s best to leave the most complicated parts of a project to the professionals.

KEEP CALM & DON’T BUG OUT ABOUT THE ASIAN GIANT HORNET by Dick Rogers, principal scientist and entomologist, Bayer Bee Care Program (NAPSI) — Scientiﬁc information can ease the fears of many people concerned about the arrival of the Asian giant hornet in the United States.

What do we know?

Hornets are found in many parts of the world and play a vital role in the balance of natural ecosystems through pollination, biodiversity and natural pest control. Unfortunately dubbed the “murder hornet,” the Asian giant hornet (AGH), the world’s largest, was sighted for the ﬁrst time in the United States in December 2019.

Who (or what) is at risk?

While the AGH is large in size and has a big sting compared to other hornets, it is typically not aggressive with humans (Whew! That’s a relief). As always, those allergic to bee or wasp stings should practice caution and avoid contact with hornets in general. However, the AGH can pose a risk to honey bee colonies because it feeds on large insects, including wasps and bees. So far, they’ve only appeared in the northwest part of the United States, and monitoring efforts by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) are underway to better understand these hornets and help educate beekeepers on how to protect their colonies.

On top of this, our team at Bayer is taking action by organizing a ﬁrst detection trapping program in North Carolina and Missouri, which will be deployed in early July. We will then share our results with the WSDA at the end of the season. While we do not expect to catch any AGH this year, early detection is key to an effective eradication effort if needed.

You can be conﬁdent that the early introduction of the AGH in the United States and Canada is being closely monitored by professionals who have management plans in place should there be any future sightings. There’s no need to worry about catching a glimpse of these hornets in your yards or gardens, as they are not yet established in the United States. In fact, the only hornet that is established in our country, the European hornet, has been around since the late 1800s.

How can we help protect the bees?

It’s not only researchers and entomologists who can help protect honeybees. Everyone can support bees by getting outside to plant pollinator-friendly gardens or ﬂowers.

As pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystem, crop production and biodiversity, I recommend you stay calm and keep gardening to provide your fuzzy friends with the ﬂowers and habitat they need to thrive.

Learn more about how to plant pollinator-friendly gardens that help bees, monarchs and other important pollinators by visiting https://beehealth.bayer.us/home.

Dick Rogers has been a professional entomologist for more than four decades and has been keeping and studying bees for over 40 years. He joined the Bayer Bee Care Program in 2009.

burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

Many an amateur landscaper has encountered grubs while tending to their lawns, but even the most attentive green thumber may have a lawn infested with grubs and not know it. According to the pest and weed experts at Roundup® , grubs often go unnoticed until late summer, when they’ve already done substantial damage to a lawn. Oddly enough, one of the telltales signs of a grub infestation is not the grubs themselves but the animals looking to dine on them. Fully grown grubs make for hearty meals, so homeowners who notice raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and/or birds digging up their lawns may have a grub infestation. That’s because these unwanted guests like to dine on mature grubs who have spent summer feasting on organic matterinthesoil.Anothersignofa possible grub infestation is a lawn that feels spongy when stepped on. Patches of dead grass that peel back easily are a sign that grubs have eaten the roots that keep healthy grass in place.

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.

LOW-COST WAYS TO REVAMP LIVING AREAS

Establish the budget. Homeowners should ﬁgure out how many dollars they can designate to a living room makeover before purchasing supplies or hiring out the work. Figure out the scope of the remodel, visit stores or suppliers to price out materials, get estimates from contractors, and then plan for some unforeseen circumstances along the way to determine if this type of renovation is affordable. If not, scale things back until the project more closely aligns with your budget.

“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.”

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.

Don’t wear perfume in the garden - unless you want to be pollinated by bees. ~Anne Raver

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS

Don’t overdo it: A cluttered stall at a festival or marketplace may make it difficult for consumers to browse or find what they’re looking for. NFIB® advises business owners to fill the space without it making it appear cluttered. Keep extra inventory on hand to restock displays as sales are made throughout the day.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I recently visited an older relative who owns two dogs. Here in the Northeast, air conditioning isn’t common in older houses, and it’s been fairly hot for the past several weeks. When I went in, I saw both her dogs were lying down and panting because it was so warm inside. ere was no water for them, so I ﬁlled up their bowls and added a couple of ice cubes to each one. ey both drank nearly all the water. Please remind your readers that heat is dangerous for pets of all kinds, and even if they’re at home and indoors, they’re at risk. Sign me -- Concerned Cousin in Manchester, New Hampshire

DEAR CONCERNED: ank you. You just reminded them, and you’re absolutely right. Water needs to be available to pets at all times, indoors or out.

Heat injuries are no joke. ey can permanently injure or kill pets (and people). While much attention has been given to not keeping pets inside cars during the warm months, there are more danger areas to be aware of.

- If your dog is out in the yard, make sure they have a shady area to rest with plenty of fresh, cold water. Monitor them frequently: every 10 to 15 minutes.

- Homes without air conditioning can get very hot and stuﬀy, endangering pets of all types. Maintain airﬂow at all times with a fan and open windows, and always have water available.

When a pet shows signs of heat stress -- panting, lying down, whining or mewing -- get them to a cooler room immediately. If they don’t improve, contact the veterinarian.

TIPS TO HELP MEN LOOK THEIR BEST: Protect your face. Skin dries with age, but men can take steps to protect their skin and keep it glowing as they grow older. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and, ideally, one that includes moisturizer as well. Exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles while increasing a man’s risk for skin cancer. Night creams that contain retinol can help smooth wrinkles and give skin a more even-toned look. Prescription night creams tend to be considerably more potent than over-the-counter alternatives.

UNDERSTANDING LIFE INSURANCE

Choosing coverage. When choosing how much coverage to purchase, it’s easy to go overboard and aim for as much as possible. However, many ﬁnancial advisors suggest purchasing enough coverage to pay for funeral costs and a level of income replacement you can comfortably afford. If your spouse does not work, you should consider purchasing enough coverage so he or she can afford to pay the family’s day-to-day cost of living expenses.

Neal G. Dunkleberg

August 6, 2024

Conesus: At age 90, Neal passed away peacefully on August 6, 2024, at Noyes Hospital in Dansville. He was born on June 20, 1934, to the late Grover and Eleanor (VanVleck) Dunkleberg. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister and brother-in-law, Noelle (Raymond) Walker; sister , Gail Mann; brother, Jay Dunkleberg; and brother-in-law, William Loeber. He is survived by his wife, Cecile (Sabik) Dunkleberg; daughter, Karen (Fernando) Savella; stepson, Louis Polizzi; sisters, Linda Loeber and Dana Bosson; sister-in-law, Nancy Dunkleberg; grandchildren, Jonathan (Hajin), Aaron and David Savella (Kisaira), and Jenna Polizzi; great-grandchildren Ada and Vivian Savella, and several nieces and nephews.

Neal was a ‘larger than life’, outgoing, people-friendly (in fact a peopleseeking) person. He went out of his way to meet people; at a wedding, a restaurant, or wherever he was, and was regularly the life of the party. Kids were always delighted by him as he got down to their level and talked with (not to) them.

Neal was one of the smartest men most had ever met and he was a teacher and mentor to many from a young age. Many of his best friends are 15 years or more his junior. If you had a question, Neal usually had the answer, be it something about psychology, medicine, astrophysics, chemistry, nuclear weapons; the list goes on; as his interests were wide and varied. One could ﬁnd just about anything in his library. He was funny, witty, and compassionate. His knowledge, wit and sincerity made him sought-a er and loved by folks from 2 to 102.

Not only did Neal know facts, he knew how to do things. He built his home (with a bit of help) in Conesus, he was a skilled writer and editor, he knew how to fell a tree that he couldn’t get his arms around, he could carve leather, he could cook, and so much more.

Neal loved to sing - always waking up singing a song - and could move from Opera to e Who to Tom Lehrer without a hitch. We can hear him singing still.

Neal had a positive inﬂuence on just about everyone he met and will be dearly missed by all who he touched.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 8th from 1-5 PM at the Willow Creek Venue, 3100 Rochester Rd., Lakeville, NY 14480. Neal will receive Air Force Military Honors at 1 PM. Memorial contributions can be made to Genesee Valley Conservancy, 1 Main St, Geneseo, NY 14454.

DINING OUT WITH INFANTS

New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.

First, ﬁnd a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

The Sweet Origin of S’mores and Marshmallows: A Rochester Tale

BY KAYLEE DUDA

The enticing aroma of marshmallows roasting over an open ﬁre is a sensory hallmark of summer evenings and camping trips. is classic American treat - known as the s’more - has a history that is as rich and gooey as the confection itself. But did you know that Rochester, NY played a pivotal role in the mass production of marshmallows and the creation of s’mores?

e origins of the marshmallow can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where the mallow plant, a wild herb with a delicate, sweet sap, grew in abundance. e Egyptians, known for their innovative use of natural resources, discovered that by extracting sap from the mallow plant and mixing it with nuts and honey, they could create a delectable treat that was considered ﬁt for the gods and royalty. is early version of the marshmallow was a luxury item, enjoyed by the elite and used in religious ceremonies.

As centuries passed, the art of making marshmallows evolved. Fast forward to the 19th century in France, where confectioners took the ancient concept and gave it a modern twist. French chefs began to whip mallow sap with sugar and egg whites, transforming the sticky, chewy substance into the ﬂuﬀy, airy marshmallow we recognize today. is innovation made marshmallows more accessible and appealing to the general public, though they remained only in small batch tedious production.

Rochester’s connection to marshmallows began in earnest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. e burgeoning city, renowned for its innovation and industrial prowess, emerged as a significant center for candy manufacturing. Local confectioners, driven by a spirit of experimentation, began refining the marshmallow recipe and experimenting with mass production techniques. Rochester’s Joseph Demerath of Rochester Candy Works developed a machine to mass-produce marshmallows. ese efforts were instrumental in popularizing marshmallows across America, setting the stage for the treat’s future success.

e s’more, a delicious contraction of “some more,” is a simple yet indulgent combination of roasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. e treat’s origins can be traced back to outdoor enthusiasts who sought a perfect campﬁre snack. e ﬁrst recorded recipe for s’mores appeared in a 1927 Girl Scouts handbook titled “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” is cookbook included the s’more recipe as a part of its outdoor cooking section, introducing the treat to a broader audience.

e s’more quickly captured the imagination of campers and outdoor adventurers. Rochester’s Finger Lakes region, known for its

breathtaking landscapes and abundant camping spots, provided an ideal setting for the treat to gain traction. Campers in this picturesque area embraced the s’more, sharing stories and recipes around crackling campﬁres. e city’s local confectioners, who had already perfected the art of marshmallow-making, played a crucial role in making s’mores widely available and popular.

Today, Rochester’s legacy in marshmallow and s’more history continues to thrive. e city’s confectionery heritage is celebrated in various local museums and annual festivals that highlight its contribution to American culinary traditions. Modern confectioners have embraced the rich tradition of marshmallow-making, taking it to new heights with gourmet variations and inventive ﬂavors. Social media platforms have also engaged in the innovation of the s’more, with some creators turning it into a dip, and others substituting cookies for graham crackers. ese contemporary twists on the classic treat delight both locals and visitors, ensuring the sweet legacy of Rochester endures.

From the ancient mallow plant of Egypt to the Girl Scouts’ campfire treat and beyond, the journey of the marshmallow and the s’more is a testament to Rochester’s sweet influence on American culinary traditions. Next time you bite into a gooey s’more, take a moment to savor not just the flavors, but also the rich history and local legacy that made this delightful treat possible. And when you drive by the Rochester Marshmallow Factory’s final location at the corner of Factory and Toronto Streets, you can still see the faded lettering of the company since its closure in 1924.

A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.

Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.

Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* Repair enlarged screw holes with a wooden golf tee. Use a hack saw to saw it ﬂush, sand and ﬁnish!

* Punch holes in paint can rims with a nail so the paint that gets sloshed on the rim will drain back into the can. To seal the can, wipe the rim with a damp cloth, and rub it with a little petroleum jelly and cover with a piece of plastic wrap and tap the lid back into place.

* While boating or ﬁshing, tape small blocks of Styrofoam to your eyeglass arms so they will ﬂoat if they go overboard. -- R.D. in Florida

GO GREEN WHEN SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS THIS SUMMER

Vacation locally. Another way to help the planet when spending time outdoors this summer is to vacation locally. People who vacation close to home typically do not fly, and that’s a significant benefit to the planet. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change notes that aviation emissions release black carbon, nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide, which contribute to the greenhouse gas effect. And while the EIA notes that automobiles and airplanes produce relatively similar amounts of carbon dioxide per gallon, airplanes burn considerably more fuel than cars, thanks in large part to the considerable amount of fuel planes burn on the runway. By vacationing locally, outdoor enthusiasts can reduce their reliance on airplanes, thereby reducing the effects those airplanes have on the environment.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS

Scott Joplin (c. 1868-1917): Born into a musical family that included his mother, a singer and banjo player, and his father, a violist, Scott Joplin grew up in Texarkana, learning to play the guitar and later the piano at a very young age. By the time Joplin was a teenager, he was working as a traveling musician and eventually became the foremost composer of ragtime jazz. Biography.com notes that Joplin was a true student of music, studying at the George R. Smith College for Negroes in Missouri during the 1890s. Though one of history’s most celebrated jazz musicians, Joplin also composed ballets and operas.

WAYS TO ENJOY MORE DAIRY

Try evaporated milk. Heavy cream can add ﬁve grams of fat and 50 calories in just one tablespoon. In lieu of heavy cream, opt for fat-free evaporated milk in soups and other recipes that call for cream. Evaporated milk provides the creaminess of dairy without the excessive calories.

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.

6 FACTS ABOUT WATERMELONS

• General Production: $19/hour

• Maintenance Technician (10-hour Evening & Overnight): $25.50-$35.50/hour

• Maintenance Supervisor: $81,760 to $114,464

• Human Resources Manager - $81,800 to $114,500

• Maintenance Manager - $93,206 - $130,489

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.

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.

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.
