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.

Here’s A Tip

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

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

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

DIFFERENT GENERATIONS CAN LEARN AND BENEFIT FROM ONE ANOTHER

Practicing interpersonal skills: All the technological savviness in the world cannot compensate for the power of strong interpersonal skills. Being able to address a group of people or speak one-on-one is essential in the workplace and in life. When younger generations speak to older adults, they may become stronger at verbal discourse and have greater perspective of different points of conversa

Noise-cancelling headphones: A set of durable headphones to block out ambient noise may be helpful for graduates going on to college or post-graduate work. Grads entering the workforce can enjoy silence or music as they commute to their offices. These headphones also work well on flights, making them ideal gifts for new grads whose first jobs require a lot of travel.

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

Memorial Day

Local DMV

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

CSA Boxes

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

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

YOLO

Groceries

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

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

Patient Seems Unsure of ALS Diagnosis

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

Magic Maze – SQUARES

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

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

The diagnosis of ALS is made after a thorough examination and history review. Electrodiagnostic studies, like an EMG or a nerve conduction test, can help support the diagnosis, but they do not make the diagnosis themselves. The nerve conduction study is normal for ALS, while the EMG shows the nerves that are not connecting to the muscles. Other diseases of the muscles and muscle nerves should be considered. MRI scans are usually performed, as they can identify conditions that mimic ALS. The terrible back you mention could include a condition called cervical myelopathy, which has some features that can be mistaken for ALS. Routine blood and urine testing should be done to exclude other conditions, such as Lyme disease, and the spinal fluid is sometimes analyzed if the neurologist suspects immune-medicated nerve disease.

However, none of the other possibilities that you mention is likely to be confused for ALS by an experienced neurologist who does a complete exam.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Slice of Life: Alessio and Sarah Santiago Take Over Salvatore’s Fairport Location

BY SUZIE WELLS

In the heart of Fairport, where the scent of freshly baked pizza mingles with the bustling energy of the community, lies a cherished establishment - Salvatore’s. But this isn’t just any pizza joint; it’s a story woven with familial ties, childhood memories, and a passion for serving others. Meet Alessio and Sarah Santiago, who took over the Fairport location in April 2024.

eir story begins over a decade ago, as East Irondequoit high schoolers working at Salvatore’s E Ridge/Culver location. A er pursuing different career paths - Alessio at Wegmans and Sarah in the banking industry, they have now been together for ten years, married for three, and with their daughter, Alessiana, and three “crazy dogs, Atlas, Ink, and Enzo,” the Santiagos are excited to blend their professional backgrounds in operating the Fairport Salvatore’s location. Alessio runs daily operations and Sarah coordinates marketing and accounting.

Over the past few weeks, the Santiagos and their parents have cleaned and repainted the shop, and Sarah says they’re very thankful for the help of their parents, who have helped without hesitation. eir siblings even traveled across the country for the monumental first day.

Sarah particularly recognizes Ray and Maria LoRe, owners of Salvatore’s E Ridge/Culver and e Garage Door. She says they owe a lot of who they are as employees and now owners to Ray and his dedication to his business: “Ray was our first call when we considered becoming franchisees,” and since then, “Ray and Maria have been by our side from training to reorganizing the kitchen and bringing us supplies from their stores. eir children, who also work at their locations, have been a ton of help as well. To say we are lucky to have this family in our corner is an understatement - we are blessed.”

e Fairport village location was once home to Arrivederci’s Pizza, owned by Sebastian with his mom Connie by his side. Sarah says Sebastian and Mama C are still very much involved, Sebastian owning the building and offering a wealth of community information to theSantiagos,andMamaC still works at the pizzeria at 83 years young! ( ank her for the perfectly baked cookies you’ll see at this location.) Sarah says, “To us, it feels like we’ve known Sebastian and Mama C our entire lives, the way they’ve shared their memories and knowledge with us. We want to make them proud.”

Central to their vision for Salvatore’s Fairport is a commitment to putting employees first, echoing the supportive environment they experienced as young employees. By fostering a culture of camaraderie and mutual respect, Alessio and Sarah aim to create a workplace where every team member feels valued and empowered to excel. Sarah says, “We’re where we are today in large part due to those who invested their

time in us throughout our careers. We want our employees to feel like an extension of our family like we did 15 years ago and still now within the Salvatore’s family.”

As they look to the future, the Santiagos are excited to make their mark on the Fairport community, one slice at a time. From revamping the pizzeria with a vibrant, modern aesthetic (“with a lot more PINK,” Sarah says) to participating in beloved local events such as Fairport Canal Days, Scarecrow Fest, Fairport Music Festival, etc., they are eager to become an integral part of the fabric of Fairport life.

eir proudest momentsarenotmeasured in profit margins or accolades but in the smiles of satisfied customers and the sense of belonging they foster within their team and community. And as they navigate the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead, one thing remains certain - with passion, perseverance, and a sprinkle of pink, the Santiago’s Salvatore’s journey is just getting started.

So, the next time you find yourself craving a slice of comfort and community, look no further than Salvatore’s Fairport, where Alessio, Sarah, and their dedicated team await with open arms and a piping hot pizza fresh from the oven.

MOMENTS IN TIME

* On June 3, 1800, President John Adams becomes the first acting president to take up residence in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately the White House was not yet finished, so Adams moved into temporary digs at Tunnicliffe’s City Hotel near the also half-finished Capitol building. (The History Channel)

CELEBRATE DAD AND SOME HISTORY THIS FATHER’S DAY

Father’s Day has been celebrated in one form or another since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Perhaps the most driving force behind Father’s Day was Senora Dodd, who thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Dodd wanted to honor the sacrifices that fathers make. Father’s Day was not formally considered a holiday until 1972, when a Congressional Act officially designated the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. Families celebrate Father’s Day in many ways. This year Father’s Day falls on Sunday, June 15. Dads who are history buffs may want to celebrate this year’s holiday by reminiscing about the notable events that have occurred on June 15 through the years. Here are just some of the many historical events that took place on June 15.

1752: Ben Franklin performs his famous kite-flying experiment to test the electrical power of lightning.

1775: George Washington is appointed Commander in Chief of the American Army.

1878: The first attempt at a motion picture takes place. Twelve cameras, each taking one picture, focus on horses’ hooves to see if they will leave the ground.

1887: The New York Giants baseball team beats the Philadelphia Phillies 29 -1.

1916: The Boy Scouts of America receives its congressional charter. 1918: An inch of snow falls in northern Pennsylvania.

1924: Native Americans are proclaimed U.S. citizens.

1934: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is dedicated.

1940: France surrenders to German forces as Nazi troops occupy the city of Paris.

1968: John Lennon and Yoko Ono plant an acorn at Coventry Cathedral.

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

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

If it is slime mold, then your approach of “cutting off the affected shoots,” is

e

from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County

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

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

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

Happy Gardening!
