HAVE KIDS; WILL TRAVEL: MASTER VACATIONING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

Plan accommodations wisely. Choose lodging that fits your needs. Some people prefer a rental home because it affords more space and the ability to save money by preparing some meals at “home.” However, certain hotels may have babysitting services or recreational activities for children, enabling Mom or Dad to have a little time off.

HOW TO KEEP GRILLED FOODS WARM

Keep a low-heat zone on the grill. As foods finish cooking, move them to a predetermined low-heat zone on the grill where they will stay warm without overcooking. Monitor this area while cooking the foods to ensure it’s warm but not hot enough to keep cooking foods once they have been moved.

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT

Retail credit cards: Many retailers offer their own credit cards. Consumers may be enticed to sign up for such cards by the opportunity for instant, and often significant, savings. For example, a home improvement store may offer an immediate 25 percent discount to customers who sign up for a store credit card and use the card to make a purchase. As enticing as such savings can be, consumers should recognize that a recent study by CreditCards.com found that the average retail credit card APR is 25.9 percent. That’s more than 6 percent higher than a general purpose credit card. Consumers who cannot pay balances in full each month could end up paying much more in interest if they use retail credit cards instead of general purpose cards.

Avoid peak seasons: You’ll pay more to install a deck or a pool right before the outdoor entertaining season. There also may be a premium to get work done right before a major holiday. Therefore, consult the calendar to find an off time for a renovation and book it then to save.

Consider the many special delights a lawn affords: soft mattress for a creeping baby; worm hatchery for a robin; croquet or badminton court; baseball diamond; restful green perspectives leading the eye to a background of flower beds, shrubs, or hedge; green shadows - “This lawn, a carpet all alive/With shadows flung from leaves’ - as changing and as spellbinding as the waves of the sea, whether flecked with sunlight under trees of light foliage, like elm and locust, or deep, dark, solid shade, moving slowly as the tide, under maple and oak.

Did you know?

While it might be tempting to lower mower blades when summertemperaturesreachtheir hottest, it is possible to cut grass too short. Homeowners who want to cut back on the time they spend mowing their lawns under the hot summer sun should avoid lowering their mower blades too low, as doing so can cause significant damage to the lawn. Lawns that have been cut too low are less capable of surviving drought and are unlikely to thrive. When grass is cut too short, the stem tissue from the grass is exposed, and that exposure can lead to unsightly grass that turns yellow or brown. Grass that is cut too short also may suffer from weaker roots, which in turn makes the grass weaker and less likely to grow in strong. In addition, weaker grass is more susceptible to weed growth, which can be both a nuisance and an eyesore. When mowing, homeowners should remove no more than one-third of the grass blade. Mowing at this height will promote strong roots and protect the grass when the weather gets especially hot in the summer.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A PROJECT STALLS

Start off on solid financial footing. It’s important that homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of their finances. Many home improvement projects stall when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can avoid such unfortunate situations by only beginning a project they know they can afford. Whether funding a project with a loan or savings or a combination of both, homeowners should make an honest assessment of what they can afford to commit to a given project. If the amount of money available does not add up to the estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or you might be facing a stalled project down the road.

What to Do with Your Old Electronics (Family Features) Mobile phones, laptops, tablets, game consoles, cameras - electronic devices are a big part of American life. In fact, Americans own an average of 24 electronic products per household, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. With technology changing so rapidly and new “it” devices hitting the market every few months, a lot of those devices get discarded quickly. That adds up to a lot of potential e-waste.

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to keep old electronics out of the waste stream.

Donate. Donations give schools, nonprofits and lower-income families access to equipment they might not otherwise afford. Before donating, check with the organization to see what they need.

Trade Up. If you are ready to upgrade to something new, programs such as RadioShack’s Trade & Save let you swap retired technology for store credit toward your purchase.

Recycle. Electronics in nonworking condition should be recycled. Check www.Earth911.com or www.e-stewards.org to find a recycling center near you.

Don’t Forget the Batteries. Recycling your rechargeable batteries is another easy step you can take.

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

REASONS TO PLANT A TREE

There are plenty of reasons to plant trees. Trees provide a natural form of shade, reducing air temperature by blocking the sun’s rays. This can reduce reliance on air conditioning systems and make it more comfortable to spend time outdoors during the summer.

North Carolina State University College of Agriculture & Life Sciences

says trees absorb and block noise and reduce glare. They also can trap dust, pollen and smoke. Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses from the air. One large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for as many as four people, while also storing 13 pounds of carbon per year.

Cochlear implants

The NDC notes that cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. Cochlear implants utilize electrodes placed in the cochlea, or inner ear, to stimulate the auditory nerve of individuals who have substantial and permanent hearing loss.

The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals the implant is sending. In addition, the NDC notes that certain types of hearing loss cannot be remedied with cochlear implants.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS

Many farmers’ markets offer foods that are organically grown and are produced without GMOs. Farmers’ market retailers also tend to give firsthand accounts of where their foods come from and how they are grown or raised.

UNIQUE LOCATIONS TO HOST A WEDDING

Museums: Couples who want their guests to take a stroll through history before they watch the happy couple stroll down the aisle can consider tying the knot at a local museum. Many museums offer a variety of ceremony and reception options. The vaulted ceilings and airy quality of many art museums make them an ideal place to host large gatherings. The unique decor of such facilities guarantees couples will get some awe-inspiring photos on their big day.

High Blood Pressure Readings Call for Additional Medication

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 68-year-old female who was diagnosed with high blood pressure at 32. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weigh 130 pounds. I’ve been taking 240 mg of verapamil for all of these years. A few years back, my medication started coming in 120-mg dosages, so I started taking one in the morning and one at night. My blood pressure both at home and at the doctor’s office is often higher than I think it should be, averaging 138/88. Recently, I used a 24-hour blood pressure monitor, which showed that more than 50% of my daytime readings were above 140/90, while my nighttime readings averaged 118/82. I am still waiting to hear back from my doctor regarding the results of this test, but I wanted to get your thoughts. Should I be on some other type of medication? Should I alter the timing to get better daytime readings? -- E.T.

ANSWER: In my opinion, these readings are not ideal. Twenty-four-hour, ambulatory blood pressure readings are usually 5 to 10 points lower than office blood pressure readings, so your average daytime readings are correspondingly higher. There is strong evidence that in people at high risk for heart attack (such as those who are already known to have blockages), controlling blood pressure to an average of less than 120 systolic (the first or top number) and less than 70 diastolic (the second or bottom number) reduces risk. It’s not as clear for people who are at a lower risk, such as people who have high blood pressure without any additional risks. In my own practice, however, I will usually try to get my patients close to those optimal numbers, as long as the medication does not cause side effects. In a situation like yours, I would consider additional daytime medicine. More verapamil might be reasonable, but many doctors might use a different medication, such as a diuretic, in the morning to try to get the optimal blood pressure with less risk of side effects. Very often, the choice of blood pressure medication depends on any other medical issues a person may have. Only your doctor knows enough about your medical condition to make a personalized recommendation.

With our crazy spring weather, with several frosts, a drought followed by massive rainfall, should I worry about my garden?

Does anyone remember a “normal” weather year? Not in recent history, it seems, but this year is a doozy! Looking back at the temperature swings we’ve had this year, January through April each had close to or more than half the month with highs at least 10 degrees above the average range. May went the other way, with half thenightsreachingtemperatures at least 10 degrees below average and, in W. Bloomfield where I live, three solid frosts that month. June’s temperatures seem to hover close to

average,which is a bit of a relief. Looking at precipitation, again it has been all over the map. Generally speaking, though, we had very little snoworrainJanuarythroughthefirst week of June. Between Friday, 6/9 and Wednesday 6/14, we received over two inches of rain! Crazy, right? As I told our Farm Manager, Mike Kincaid, we can always count on a gully-washer right as the peonies start to flower, but this has been an exceptional amount of rain in just a few days.

So,howdoesallof thesetemperature and precipitation swings affect our plants? For established plants you

should not need to worry. They have reserves of food to help them through stressful times. If we go back to very dry conditions, which we most likely will over the next couple of months, you may want to supplement watering plants with higher water needs, such as hydrangeas. With newly planted material, of course, you will want to be sure to add water as needed. We like to see the plants get about

an inch of water per week – a small investment in a rain gauge is money well spent to help you know how much water your plants have gotten. And remember, when we do get a gully-washer, most of that rain runs off before it can percolate into the soil. Sometimes the best measure of moisture is to stick your finger in the soil and judge by feel.

Helping Tackle Life’s Challenges:

PAULA HICKS-SOWERSBY ASSISTS WITH HER PAY IT FORWARD PANTRY

For this column, I seek out stories of everyday people doing incredible things to help out their fellow humans. Goodness knows, life can be tough sometimes, so it’s one of my treasured privileges to be able to share these stories. I kept seeing posts on the Victor and Farmington Neighbors page by Canandaigua resident, Paula Hicks – Sowersby, who coordinates a Pay It Forward pantry outside her home, helps out other blessings boxes around the area,andhelpspeople ndassistance or information on anything from food and rent assistance to repairing a vehicle for reliable transportation. I simply had to reach out to nd out more, and thankfully, Paula agreed to share her story:

“About 10 years ago, a medical condition I have that causes joints to dislocate and internal organs to dissect caused me to have a rare heart attack called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. About 18 months later, I had a second. Doctors said most do not survive one of these dissections, let alone two.

I had always lived a pay it forward lifestyle, but I found myself looking for ways to make an impact in people’s lives in any good way while I still had time le . Maybe it was an attempt to heal my own heart.

I started on a Facebook group called Canandaigua Selling/Buying doing little Pay-It-Forwards (PIFs), giving away $20 a few times a month. is slowly grew into huge things like $200 grocery giveaways because I had donors who wanted to help.

When I heard of Noah’s Blessings Box, which the Marinelli’s started in Canandaigua a er the tragic loss of their son in a car accident, that inspired me to start my own blessing box, the Pay It Forward pantry. It’s just a large blessing box in front of my home.

I also started a small bank account, in which I put 1/3 of my monthly social security in to help people with emergencies when possible. is grew bigger and bigger, and more and more people ask for help, so when emergency requests come but my PIF account is empty, I reach out to the community for help.” (Hence my nding her FB posts).

We have raised thousands of dollars to help people in need of a hand up in a world where people struggle to eat and pay bills. I’ve paid for lifesaving medications for cancer patients, we’ve lled people’s propane tanks, kept lights on, xed cars; you name it, we’ve probably done it. Everyone knows when I say Mornin’ PIF’ers... Paula is about to ask for help. I make the calls and the community answers them every single time. I’m on my phone from 6 am to 11 pm and I o en get messaged during the night. But most people just need to be pointed in the right

direction; that’s why I made the pinned post on my page. And many just need an ear, and I’m always willing to be that ear. Any time, day or night.

In my ten years doing this, we’ve helped hundreds of families. is past Christmas, my program found sponsors for 96 families needing help. I don’t get a lot of tra c at my box, so I mostly support other blessing boxes in the area. True blessing boxes run on donations from the community. Mine’s a bit di erent in that it’s 90% self-funded. But I always love and appreciate donations when they come. Without the community’s support, we would never accomplish half of what we’ve done. I have a pinned post on my Facebook page with lots of info for people needing a variety of information to nd help. It also includes the pantry’s Amazon wishlist and cashtags for anyone wanting to help. If you are able, help out Paula’s pantry or another blessing box in your area, or maybe nd your own way to pay forward the blessings in your life. We all need a little help sometimes. Why not help when we

Paula also shares one of MANY stories that have impacted her life:

About a year ago, a woman named Jill Nunes Madden messaged me to say she had received the all clear from breast cancer but felt awful and asked if I could nd someone to come clean for her but keep it private so people didn’t know how hard she had it. I found her help and I checked in from time to time. She felt worse and kept passing out, and her family and I encouraged her to see the doctor, where she was diagnosed with brain cancer. A few weeks later she moved into Hospeace House. I came to keep her company, and we laughed, we cried, and I knew immediately I had a friend I never knew I was missing. I stayed with her about once a week. She was there several months, a lot longer than doctors expected. Jill lost her battle in March. She was an absolute human angel. I miss her but I’m just so blessed to have been in her life even that short amount of time. I talk about how this PIF mission has helped others. [Meeting such incredible people as Jill] is one way [the PIF mission] has helped me.

Summer tip for Seniors

Stay Safe Druing Travel

If you have travel plans for the summer, ensure your safety and comfort. Consult with your doctor before embarking on any trips to address any health concerns or necessary medications. Plan your itinerary carefully, considering your mobility and accessibility requirements. Pack essential items such as medications, a rst aid kit, and copies of important documents. If ying, request any necessary accommodations from the airline. Take breaks during long drives to stretch and stay hydrated. By taking precautions and preparing ahead, you can make the most of your summer travels.

HOW TO MAINTAIN MENTAL ACUITY

Read more. Avid readers may be happy to learn that one of their favorite pastimes can improve the efficiency of their cognitive systems while delaying such systems’ decline. A 2013 study published in the journal Neurology by researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center found that mentally active lifestyles may not prevent the formations of plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer’s disease, but such lifestyles decreases the likelihood that the presence of plaques or tangles will impair cognitive function.

MONUMENTAL MEMORIES

Full range of cemetery memorials & services. Many granite stones, colors, shapes & engraving options on display. Friendly, caring & here to help!

STEPS INVOLVED WITH ESTATE PLANNING

Medical directives. In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances. Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity.

Local Bank Changes

Whose decision was it to close a downtown major bank’s ATM? This has been an ideal location for all bank customers, downtown shoppers, travelers, and especially for walkers - not everyone drives a car. Really, how much time and how much employee expense is there to maintain this convenient service? This bank also made a big mistake by closing their drive thru. It would have been an asset to provide a drive-thru service during the Covid outbreak. I will sincerely consider another bank’s services located downtown.

A Roller’s Rant To All The Walkers Out There

I had an accident a couple years back and I’m now paralyzed from the waist down. I have a modified truck and it requires me to park in a van accessible parking spot or a handicap spot with cross-hatched stripes. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to wait for someone to come out and move their vehicle. Why should I wait when it’s illegal to park there? You can walk, I can’t. Use your legs! Also [local business] repaved their parking lot, and the only van accessible parking spot is for the employee of the month! What’s up with that? So I made my own parking spot right in front where all the cross-hatched lines are. I’ve spoken with the head of security as well as the Vice President and they assured me they’d take care of it. That was over 4 months ago!

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Cat reacts to Thunderstorms Poorly

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Yesterday, we had a pretty big thunderstorm roll through. My 8-year-old cat, Sphinx, is normally never afraid of anything. But for the rst time, he hid underneath the sofa, and even a er the storm passed he stayed underneath the co ee table and wouldn’t come out. Why would he suddenly be afraid when he wasn’t before? --

Claire A., Utica, New York

DEAR CLAIRE: A sudden change in behavior may warrant a trip to the veterinarian. is can rule out any physical causes for the change in behavior, such as a silent infection or a chronic condition.

Cats may seem aloof and resilient to us, but they are actually creatures of habit -- much more so than dogs, who thrive on applied structure, like walks at the same time each day. Cats develop their own daily routine: when they eat and drink, when they “patrol” the house, where they sleep at di erent times of the day.

Any change in that routine can be very upsetting to them, but most still won’t let you know it. (Some will -- they might turn their back on you, meow incessantly, or even, when deeply aggrieved, leave a special present right where you can nd it.)

Observe Sphinx as much as you can, and think about any changes to the home. Did you recently rearrange furniture or install new ooring? Did a family member leave or did a new person move in?

Cocoa is the sweetest girl who just had a litter of 6 beautiful puppies.

Send us a photo and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Email to: sales@gvpennysaver.com or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

To reduce his anxiety, spend more time playing with Sphinx. When a storm rolls in, place one of your favorite old shirts next to him wherever he is hiding. Speak to him calmly during the storm. If his anxiety doesn’t improve, or begins to get worse, talk to his veterinarian about temporarily giving him anti-anxiety medication.
