Tent size and location - Calculate how many people will be on the camping trip and how much space they will need to rest comfortably. Purchase or rent a tent that will provide enough space. Multiple tents also can be used if the goal is to separate family members. The next consideration is where to set up camp. Look for a level area that is relatively free from debris. Clear away any rocks and twigs, as debris under the tent can damage it and make it harder to fall asleep. Families may want to camp a short distance from restroom facilities if they are available, which will make it easier for the midnight bathroom breaks that inevitably crop up.

DID YOU KNOW?

Once a term that dominated newspaper headlines and environmental discourse, “global warming” is now heard far less frequently. Many may assume global warming has been rebranded as “climate change,” but the two are not one and the same. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global warming refers exclusively to the Earth’s rising surface temperature, while climate change includes global warming but also its side effects. Such side effects include the melting of the world’s glaciers and the growing frequency of drought and heavier rainstorms. Global warming is also used most often to refer to warming caused by humans, while climate change is a term used when discussing environmental changes that are human-caused or natural.

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 theiryardsaneasternfeel,completewithakoipondanddecorativebridge or trellis. A formal English garden, however, may include manicured paths withsteppingstonesandornatetopiaries.Mixingtoomanystylestogether 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.

ROOMS CAN SERVE DOUBLE

Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefitsoflargerspaces,theyjust need to equip rooms to perform double duty.

Fence Etiquette Prevents Disputes:

There are certain things you must do and should do if you plan to erect a fence. Most people find neighbors appreciate being informed of any decisions you are thinking of making to the property that can affect their views or their adjoining property. Before drawing up fence plans with a contractor, talk to the neighbors on either side of your home and gauge their receptiveness to a fence. At this point, you may want to consider offering to make the fencing project a joint deal to save money should the neighbors decide to install a fence as well. Contractors will often discount if they have several customers doing an installation at the same time. Property owners can save by splitting the costs of the shared walls of the fence where their property lines meet.

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS

Make sure you choose the right ladder. DIYers may spend ample time shopping for drills and other electronic tools and gadgets that are fun to use. But ample time also must be afforded to the type of ladder you intend to use on a project. Estimates from the West Bend Insurance Company indicate that roughly 90,000 people visit the emergency room due to ladder accidents each year. Never use a broken ladder or an aging ladder that’s uneven. In addition, do not use a ladder that forces you to reach far away. If you’re leaning while using a ladder, the ladder is either too short for your project or positioned too far away from the wall. The National Home Security Alliance advises DIYers to place their ladder one foot from the wall for every four feet it rises above the ground. Test your ladders for their sturdiness prior to beginning work so you aren’t tempted to use a subpar ladder.

When is too early to plant directly outside? How do I protect my early plants from the frost we may very well still have?

There are at least three reasons for waiting until at least mid-May for planting young plants outdoors unprotected: you want to avoid too cold weather, you want the soil to be warm enough, and you want your plants to be big and tough enough to survive. A covering like a cloth sheet can prevent frost from damaging plants if the soil is warm, but if the temperature falls below freezing, the plants are still likely to die.

The average freeze date is the end of April. Soil temperature at planting time should

be at least 50°. Your young plants should have at least three sets of leaves,and they need to get “hardened off” with gradual exposure to outdoor conditions of sun, wind, and changing temperatures. Often there is no frost after mid-May, but you need to check the long-range weather forecast before planting: the nighttime low temperature should be above 40°; 50° is even better for most young plants. Plants including broccoli, lettuce, and other greens and root vegetables can be planted outside in late April, while warm weather plants like tomatoes and squash need to wait.

Hiking: Hiking provides a great workout and an ideal opportunity to spend time in an idyllic setting. The U.S. National Park Service notes that hiking helps individuals build stronger muscles and bones, improves their sense of balance, has a positive effect on heart health, and can decrease the risk of certain respiratory problems. Hiking is an especially attractive outdoor activity for seniors,as many parks feature trails with varying degrees of difficulty, ensuring there’s a trail for seniors whether they’re seasoned or novice hikers.

A cold frame could enable you to start your plants outdoors. You could buy one, or some people build their own.

Complex Jargon Prevents Patient From Understanding Diagnosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: After many bouts of pain in my left leg, I was referred for an MRI. They diagnosed me with left lumbar radiculitis, spondylolisthesis and lumbar spondylosis. There are many people in my independent living facility who have gotten similar diagnoses. As an RN with a master’s in nursing education, I have a question: When the diagnoses are made, do doctors not explain the problem in layman’s terms? I only found out what my list of diagnoses were from a physical therapist, to whom I was referred. -- N.F.P.

ANSWER: Doctors certainly should explain their diagnoses in language appropriate for their patients. We can forget that the language we use is sometimes incomprehensible, but that’s not an excuse. A patient should always feel comfortable in saying they don’t understand a diagnosis, or any other word or phrase their doctor uses, and ask for more explanation. Many of the most effective communicators I have seen not only ask the patient whether they understood, but have made sure their patient can explain it back to them. In your case, these specific diagnoses are generally not well-known by nonexperts, and I am disappointed that they did not give you an explanation. Lumbar radiculitis is essentially sciatica -- it’s an inflammation of the large bundle of nerve roots, which usually causes pain down the leg into particular locations, based on which nerves are being affected. It is not a specific diagnosis, as it doesn’t say what is causing the damage to the nerves. Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra overlaps another one below it (front to back, not side to side). Very mild spondylolisthesis will not cause any symptoms, but more severe cases can cause damage to the nerve roots. Spondylosis of the lumbar vertebrae is a nonspecific term signifying degeneration of the spine, usually due to osteoarthritis and often including degeneration of the disks in between the vertebrae. So, these diagnoses together suggest that you have osteoarthritis of the spine, along with a displacement of one vertebra over another, causing damage to the nerve roots of the spine. These conditions would be likely to cause the back and leg pain you have on your left side.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE

Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life.

People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility.

Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

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.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE

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

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

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

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

SPRING CLEANING PROJECTS YOU DON’T WANT TO FORGET

Spring cleaning is an annual tradition in many households. After a winter spent cooped up indoors, spring cleaning can rejuvenate a household and provide a great chance to rid a home of a season’s worth of clutter.

Donating old clothes and cleaning out the garage are popular spring cleaning projects, but there are a host of additional tasks homeowners can tackle to freshen up their homes this spring.

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.

Most often unpaid, volunteers generously donate a part of their lives to do the work that nobody else likes to do — cleaning up after the event, fostering shelter dogs, chaperoning field trips, or helping the librarian; there are so many areas requiring volunteers. This month, we salute them for their unwavering services to businesses and communities and hold aloft their examples to inspire young and adults towards volunteerism.

It fills critical gaps in service

Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to host events or held programs as easily as we do today. Since most of these events are extremely important for communities and businesses, volunteers fill a critical gap in service.

A Brief Glimpse into the Mind and Inspiration that is Brighton Poet, Denise Thompson-Slaughter

BY SUZIE WELLS

Irst met Denise in creation of my Mother Muse publications many moons ago, and I have since worked with her on her poetry collection, Sixty-ish: Full Circle, her mystery novella, Mystery Gi s, and her recent memoir, Cleaning the Coincidence Closet: Explaining the ‘Inexplicable.’ Denise has always been up for themed challenges, and we can always count on her solid voice to add perspective to a collection.

When did you start writing poetry?

I started writing humorous poetry, stories, and plays for a lark in middle school and writing poetry more seriously in high school.

Who was a favorite teacher/mentor in your poetic journey?

An English teacher in 12th grade let us have a free period to write every Monday. It was wonderful to have that unstructured hour and just be able to write anything to turn in. She was very complimentary about my work and told me I was a natural writer and never to give it up. at was a vital boost for my con dence.

What inspires you to write?

What inspires me to write poetry is usually a strong emotion, concept, or memory—something that can be encapsulated in the space of a poem. I’m rarely self-disciplined enough to just sit down and say “okay, now I’m going to write a poem.” It has to be meaningful to me. O en the urge will come if I’m out in nature. If I’m working on prose, which is a longer form, it’s di erent, of course. en I’m more regular in my habits.

How would you describe your writing habits?

I’ll o en scribble on any paper that’s handy a few lines that come to me, then I’ll develop it more fully later. With short poetry, I don’t type it until at least the third dra . With prose, I’ll carry the topic or image in my head for a while and then start typing a dra . I type more and more because arthritis in my hands and wrist now makes sustained handwriting painful.

What are your favorite topics or themes to write about?

A lot of my writing is about personal experiences I’ve had, social justice issues, speculative concepts, spirituality, or the paranormal. Do you ever worry or overthink about anything in particular when you write?

With poetry, I sometimes go back and forth about the best place to break lines. A larger thing I feel frustrated with is the apparent popularity of very obscure modern and academic poetry. I think most lay readers have given up on poetry because of it. As a poet, I want regular people to be able to relate to my words.

What are your favorite/greatest accomplishments as a writer/poet/ human being?

As a writer, I think my greatest accomplishment was my book on the paranormal and experiences I’ve had. Cleaning the Coincidence Closet: Exploring the ‘Inexplicable’ (Spirited Muse Press, 2021) is the longest piece I’ve ever written (266 pages plus notes and bibliography). It took me about twenty years of research and writing, which went so slowly because my kids were still at home and I had a part-time job. I’m proud I never gave up on it. I’m also proud of my two other longterm accomplishments: raising two children with special challenges and keeping a marriage going for 42 years through a lot of steep ups and downs!

What role does creative writing and/or poetry play in everyday life? I can’t claim to write every day unless I’m in the middle of a project, but

it does keep me sane. It’s the way I’ve always processed big questions and emotions. e icing on the cake is if it entertains or helps others at the same time.

What advice would you give an aspiring writer?

• Keep writing and don’t give up on getting published. I’ve had things accepted for publication a er being rejected by many other journals. In fact, on the twenty-seventh journal I tried, a short memoir piece I wrote a decade ago was nally accepted. Keep sending pieces out because it’s just a matter of nding the right market at the right time.

• Keep good records as well as a list of editors who say they liked your work. Send them more.

• Don’t count on making any money at this. If you don’t love it, don’t do it.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Adopting an Older Cat Can Bring Unexpected Issues

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We recently adopted a 12-year-old orange tomcat. Abel is neutered and well behaved, but he has some health issues that we didn’t bargain for. He’s overweight (we’re working on it) and recently needed a tooth pulled. He gets ear and eye infections frequently. I’m not about to give him up, but I wanted others to know that a senior cat o en has more medical needs than younger cats. e tradeo is that he’s a sweet, gentle cat, well adapted to humans, and seems less inclined to escape from the house than a younger cat might. -- Kelly B., Salt Lake City

DEAR KELLY: ank you for sharing your experience! Abel sounds like a wonderful cat.

Senior cats, age 11 to 14, do need extra monitoring. ey o en have health issues speci c to older cats, and can be more susceptible to infections, bad teeth, etc. Pretty much all the same issues humans face as we grow old!

As you’ve noted, Abel’s diet is really important. Not just to lose weight and keep it o , but to make sure he’s getting the right nutrition for a senior cat. A cat food formulated for older cats is helpful, but owners should work with the veterinarian to determine the amount and type of food to give their cat each day. Lots of protein is a must, as this article by VCA points out: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ feeding-mature-senior-and-geriatric-cats

Dehydration is another factor for older cats. Empty and re ll your cat’s water bowl each morning and monitor how much the amount decreases throughout the day to determine how much he drinks.

Finally, monitor your cat’s litter box habits. Write them down and take them to the next vet checkup to make sure there are no hidden health problems cropping up.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 28-ounce cans crushed

tomatoes

2 bay leaves

1 pound fresh squid, sliced

1 pound cuttlefish, cut into pieces

1 pound lobster tail meat, cut into pieces

Salt, to taste

3 cups chicken stock

1 cup dry white wine

2 cups Arborio rice

2 dozen fresh mussels

2 to 3 dozen fresh clams

1 tablespoon saffron

1. In a large paella pan, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the squid, cuttlefish, lobster, and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, for a minute or so more.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.

* Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it. -- Y.P. in Illinois

* Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a run, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong but gentle enough to not cause any harm. -- E.S. in Wisconsin

2. In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock and wine to a boil. As it boils, add the rice to the fish mixtureinthepaellapanandblend thoroughly. Ladle three-fourths of the boiling stock over the rice and bringtoaboil.Seasonthericewith more salt to taste. Reduce the heat to low and mix well, distributing rice evenly in the paella pan. Continue to cook the rice for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. While the rice is cooking, heat about 1 inch of water and a drizzle ofoliveoilinaseparatesautépan, then add the mussels. Steam until the mussels open, then transfer to the paella pan with a slotted spoon. Steam and transfer the clams in the same way. Take 1 cup of the clam water and whisk togetherwiththesaffroninasmall bowl. Add to the paella pan, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes more. Serve the paella directly from the paella pan.

* Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds, and still get that tumble-dried softness.

-- M.N. in Missouri

* Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!

* Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow container that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar is cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Living Long

Lives in the Blue Zones

In several parts of the world there are large populations that regularly live into their 90s and even pass 100 years. ey’re called Blue Zones, those parts of the world where seniors live longer, healthier lives. It started as a National Geographic project to look for the secrets to longevity. ey were able to identify ve locations: Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; and Okinawa, Japan.

Fascinated scientists began to study these over-100 people and concluded that they had nine commonalities. ey are:

• e Blue Zoners move and exercise naturally, working in gardens and going about their lives with frequent walks.

• ey have a purpose to each day.

• ey do what they must to avoid stress. Some pray, some have happy hour, some take naps, but they intentionally do something.

• ey follow Confucius’ rule to stop eating when they’re 80% full, and don’t eat late at night.

• ey belong to a faith-based community of some kind.

• ey put loved ones rst and o en live with or near family members.

• e people around them are engaged in similar healthy behaviors.

To read the study about the Blue Zones, go online to www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov, select PubMed from the dropdown menu and put “Blue Zones” in the search box. Look for the authors Buettner D, Skemp S. e heading includes “Lessons from the World’s Longest Lived.”

ere is hope for all of us to extend our lives if we incorporate some of what those in the Blue Zones have to teach us.

RAVES

Thank you DePaul Rosa's Villas and Roberts Wesleyan University of Chili, NY

I am an elderly, 78 years young woman who lives at DePaul Rosa’s Villas in LeRoy, currently attending sessions of Occupational Therapy training presented by students from Roberts Wesleyan University. Each of these students have added value to my life with their refreshing outlook on the future of their careers. I am so thankful for these sessions and appreciate the students’ willingness to interact with the tenants of this facility. When the students depart from the sessions, I feel good as if I had a hug. The students brought happiness and joy to my day. There are a few tenants who are not from this area who feel isolated with their medical issues. The students bring hope, optimism and give inner strength to the elderly. The students are an inspiration to all of us attending the sessions, as they go above and beyond with care and consideration. The future lies before them and God bless these young students.

Thank You Honeoye Falls Lima Students

My friends and I went to the Senior lunch and preview of Guys & Dolls. We were amazed. The lunch was excellent! The student servers were polite and they did a wonderful job making people feel welcomed. The play was so much fun. The students, actors, musicians and behind the scene workers were very professional and the play was perfection. My friends were so happy to come for the afternoon and had a great time. We are all looking forward to next year. We had so much fun from the time we walked in the school until we left.

Great Service!

Throughout the winter the folks working at Kwik Fill in Lima always did their jobs with smiles on their faces and a nice greeting and thank you, so thank you all for your good work attitude!

Junk Area

I am writing this with the concern that a recently appointed Historical Area of the village has turned into a junk yard. There are now 2-3 containers filled with junk, 2-3 RVs (not running) filled with junk. 2 full sized boats. Busses filled with junk. Non-running car, 2 plows, multiple lawn mowers and even more junk. This has become an eye sore not only for the residents and the entire village, but is this what we want people to see as they visit our village? THIS IS ALLOWED IN A HISTORICAL AREA? Why has the village board or the mayor not said anything? I have a good idea why not. This has brought feral cats, mice, rats, raccoons, and even skunks to the area. It has become a hoarding area. This needs to be cleaned up. Very sad for an area that even when it was empty added character to the village. Now it has become a junk yard!!

Donating

Why do multibillion dollar corporations have their employees solicit at the checkout for donations? Whether you’re put on the spot for an answer or the computer’s check out screen has a button to donate money for whatever the charity of the week is, do corporations really need tax write offs? Major corporations are notorious for avoiding taxes. If you like to donate, please send it directly to the charity or cause. You’ll feel much better for your participation.

By Lucie Winborne

* Overdo it on the garlic or onions and need to freshen your breath? Try roasted coffee beans instead of gum or mints. Israeli scientists have found that coffee can inhibit the bacteria that leads to bad breath, but if you prefer drinking it to chewing, you’ll do best to take it black.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT RETURNING TO SCHOOL

Adults who decide to return to school after a long layoff are following a popular path. According to the education resource Education Corner, a growing number of career colleges and vocational training schools now offer bachelor’s and graduate degree programs geared toward working adults. People return to school for various reasons, including the chance to learn new skills or further develop their existing skills. Some return to school because they are changing careers, while others may have lost a job or desire a promotion and feel that attaining a higher level of education or new skills can make reaching that goal more likely.

Adults who hope to return to school might be surprised to learn that the educational landscape has changed considerably since they were last in a classroom.
