July 21, 1973, “Soul Makossa” is the first disco record to make the Top 40. It is now best remembered as the source of the rhythmic chant that appears in Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” in 1982. (The History Channel)

What are good ground cover ideas for beds in this area?

There are so many groundcovers available, it can be difficult to select the best one for your garden. I think the most important quality is that it has to be easy remove. Groundcovers spread easily and can easily choke out your desired plants. I do not recommend plants including vinca and English ivy for this reason.

Ihaveacoupleof groundcovers

that I rely on. For sun, I enjoy the low-growing sedums. There are numerous varieties, all are easy to pull back when they start to crowd into other plants and aren’t usually bothered by deer. For shade, I enjoy cranesbill, also called perennial geranium. It has flowers in various shades of pink, lavender and white, so it combines easily with most other garden colors. Again, it is easily pulled out with my bare hands. In my yard it may

get nibbled by deer, but they don’t usually prefer it. Sometimespeoplearelooking for a taller groundcover to fill an empty spot. I often rely on daylilies in this case. They need full sun to produce a lot of flowers and yield fewer flowers as shade increases.

There are taller varieties of cranesbill available for those shady areas.

HOW EVERYDAY CITIZENS CAN PROTECT LOCAL PARKS

Leave nothing behind. Memories are not the only things park visitors should take with them when they leave the park. Estimates suggest that as much as 100 million pounds of garbage are generated at California’s Yosemite National Park each year. Significant damage can result if even a tiny fraction of that garbage is left behind. In addition, park officials forced to expend their limited resources on garbage pickup may not have enough resources left to address other issues, further threatening the park. Whether you’re hiking or camping, make sure everything you take into the park comes with you when you leave. If you have trash, make sure it’s deposited into the appropriate receptacles.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means waste of time. ~John Lubbock, “Recreation,” The Use of Life, 1894

Honeybees flitting from flower to flower is one of the first signs that warm weather has arrived. Honeybees are a welcome presenceinthegarden,pollenating plants and contributing to local honey supplies.

Despite their importance in the ecosystem, honeybees are in grave danger. In 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama created a task force comprised of various agencies to address the growing issue of rapidly diminishing honeybees and other pollinating insects. This initiative was a response to reports from American beekeepers indicating hive deaths have been on the rise, gravely affecting the honeybee population. Honeybees pollinate many fruit trees, nut plants and vegetables, playing a crucial role for many nations’ food industries. In addition to government involvement and honeybee conservation methods designed by environmental agencies, there are many things that regular citizens and homeowners can do toprotecthoneybeesthissummer.

REMEDY LANDSCAPE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS

Gutters and downspouts are designed to move rainwater away from the home. Too often, however, gutters and downspouts become clogged or do not work effectively. Overflowing gutters will transfer rainwater down the side of a home, where it can puddle at the foundation. This water can ultimately suffocate a lawn, and it may cause interior damage to the home as well.

First, inspect and clean all gutters. Leaves, nests, sticks, and even dead animals can block the flow of water in a gutter. Test downspouts by running hose water from the top of the gutter. Downspouts should be pointed away from the home and may need to be extended so they direct water away from the dwelling.

GET ON THE FAST TRACK TO BEING ORGANIZED

• Keep a cleanup bin handy. Put an empty basket in a central location, using it to gather stray items scattered around main living areas. Once everything has been collected, items can be returned to their rightful place.

• Make the bed. One of the easiest ways to keep a room looking neat is to make the bed each day. Store clean linens in a pillow case so the entire set is together and ready to go.

• Purge closets and cabinets. There’s no point allowing old, stained or damaged items to take up space. Set aside days to clear expired medication from the bathroom cabinet, discard ripped or ill-fitting clothing from the closet, or to dispose of broken toys in a nursery.

• Write things down. Tasks seem more manageable when they are written down in black-and-white and can be crossed off as completed. Writing things down also helps make the mind feel more organized.

• Exercise caution before buying. Don’t buy more than you need; otherwise, you’ll have to find space for extra items. Also, keep inventory of food and supplies in the house so you’re not unwittingly buying duplicates.

• Sort mail and paperwork. Establish different categories for papers so they can be sorted and discarded as needed. These may include bills, invitations, school papers, and junk mail. Reduce paper clutter by opting for digital correspondence when possible.

• Make one repair at a time. Tackle that source of stress by focusing on one repair and seeing it through to completion.

• Delegate the work. If kids want to help organize, let them. It can be a fun project for an adolescent to rearrange the pantry or offer their ideas for corralling messes.

Protect Your Mobile Devices - and Your Identity (Family Features) Mobile devices have become an indispensable tool for many people - and the thought of losing one of those devices, or having it stolen, is disconcerting, to say the least. But it happens every day. It’s estimated that lost or stolen phones alone could cost U.S. users $30 billion in 2012.

When a phone or tablet goes missing, so does a lot of personal information. And that can lead to more than just some inconvenience - it can lead to a stolen identity.

The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. While identity thieves still resort to old-fashioned methods of information gathering, like going through trash and stealing wallets and purses, they can also get the personal information you store on your mobile device.

JULY 8TH IS NATIONAL SCUD DAY

BY SUZIE WELLS

July 8th, National SCUD Day, has nothing to do with Cold War missiles the name may evoke. e idea is to Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama (SCUD), which is apropos advice year-round. Research shows that humor is good for physical and mental well-being.

e Mayo Clinic says, “Laughter lightens your mental load [and] induces physical changes in your body such as enhancing oxygenrich air intake, which in turn stimulates the heart, lungs, and muscles, and increases endorphins released by the brain. Laughter also activates and relieves stress responses, decreasing the heart rate and blood pressure, resulting in a good, relaxed feeling. Laughter can also have signi cant positive long-term bene ts on the immune system, pain responses, mood and feelings of personal satisfaction.”

Why not try to infuse comedy and fun in life, right?! So, in honor of National SCUD Day, turn down the drama and intentionally seek a good laugh.

National SCUD Day’s founding goes back to 2007 with Stephanie West Allen. An author and lawyer, Allen also studied psychology and knew that people were too stressed and needed time away from that stress. She hoped to encourage folks to forget being so serious, relax a bit, and infuse humor into life.

across the nation and world make their way to Western NY, so there is usually ample opportunity to nd live shows around town. Perhaps even consider checking out one of the local open mic nights to lighten your day and take a break from the drama and weight of human existence.

Lisa Fybush manages and hosts two open mics around Rochester, one on the rst and third ursday of the month at Rosen Krown (875 Monroe Avenue), and the other more casual Comedy on Deck with her husband, Scott, in their back yard (at an address privately available – nd her on FB for details), typically on the ursdays she’s not at Rosen Krown. is year, the Fybushes are having people vote for their favorite comics, and the winners will be in our Fringe show, Comedy On Deck Comes Inside.

“Life can be very di cult and bleak and if we weren’t able to see the funny side we would be miserable most of the time. ere are some religious philosophers who consider comedy a sacred profession because it helps people forget their troubles for a while,” Fybush says. She continues: “Savor the comic every day by not taking [yourself] too seriously and trying to be open to the funny side of situations. is world is crazy. Sometimes you just have to laugh.”

Shane Allen hosts the ROC Cinema Open Mic each Friday night (957 S. Clinton Ave.). Allen says, “ ey say laughter is the best medicine. I don’t think it can cure bunions, but I believe comedy is like a pressure valve for your soul. Comedy helps the audience confront uncomfortable truths, helps the comics work through their demons, and is a great reminder for us to never take ourselves too seriously.”

Allen says Rochester is “absolutely stacked with hilarious people – and the comedy community is engaged, supportive, and constantly growing. ROC Cinema have been amazing hosts and have gone all out to make the movie theater an amazing space for comedy. e open mics give the comics a real stage, a sound system, and the experience of performing in a theater.”

Focus on the positive, eliminate the negative, and simply enjoy life, even if only for a day. Allen says, “Celebrate by getting yourself out of the Drama Zone and into the Comic Zone! Try avoiding all the drama in your life – leave all that noise behind for the day.”

National SCUD Day is an ideal time to take a break from national/global news or even ctional dramas, and instead intentionally insert silliness into life. Consider scheduling time with fun/ny friends, watching a comedy lm or sit-com, even clicking on funny videos and memes when you have only a moment. Or simply keep handy a funny greeting card or comic strip, a website of jokes, or a humorous podcast. Find a way to laugh about situations you encounter, and stress will fade away.

Jamestown, NY, just a couple of hours from Rochester, is home to the National Comedy Center, drawing incredible acts celebrating small and big names in comedy. What a treasure! Comedians from

Allen and Fybush encourage everyone to attend open mics, follow local comics on social media, and share their content, all free but bene cial ways to support the local comic scene. For the latest in comedy events around Rochester, check out Rochester Comedy on Facebook.

Whatever you do, try to intentionally unplug from the day’s drama and I’m sure you’ll nd the weight of the world li ed, even just for that moment.

Compassionate Caring Neighborhood Pharmacy

I have been fortunate to be near Meade Square Pharmacy in Victor for eight years. Today I had a dire situation with a medication I was prescribed which I could not use or return. The situation was handled with true compassion and reassurance by the owner.

Thank You

Gotta thank the nice man who gave me the plant at Tops Market in Hamlin. Still growing and looks beautiful. Sorry I didn’t get your name, but thanks again.

Watch Your Children

Parents, please watch your children! From kids walking home alone from school to playing in the park or just shopping. Today I had to call the police because a 10 year old girl was getting bullied by 5 to 6 other kids. Now I sat there awhile minding my own business but when the little girl was pushed and was told to go to the bathroom I already knew. The little girl literally screaming “I don’t wanna fight” and “no.” Now what’s crazy is those kids that were bullying that girl had an adult in the car across the street. What wrong, parents? No matter if your kid is “old enough” to go to the park by themselves you should be present in your child’s life. We live close to the water where people get trafficked the most. I’ve seen it all being a nurse: Kids come in unconscious, assaulted, overdosing, broken body parts from fights and being bullied all cause the parents and the adults are not around and are not paying attention to their kids behavior and actions.

Bad Drivers

Why are so many people driving around believing roads are only for them? Running red lights, not stopping at stop signs, tailgating, speeding etc. For those who believe they’re more important, you’re NOT! To the young ignorant kid today that cut me off, when I had the right away, at the red light you didn’t have the backbone to look over. You’re someday going to experience road rage for your self centered attitude.

How to Avoid Calcium While Taking Thyroid Medication

DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a thyroidectomy, and I take levothyroxine. Instructions for the medication state not to take it within four hours of consuming calcium. No discussion of the drug has clearly stated whether this only refers to calcium supplements or whether this also includes high-calcium foods.

I usually take levothyroxine when I wake up, between 2 a.m. and 3:30 a.m., to avoid breakfast dairy products (i.e. yogurt, cheese and soy milk) and dinner foods (broccoli, leafy greens, dairy and soy). I go to bed fairly early. I eat mainly plant-based, plus dairy.

I have asked some doctors and pharmacists, only to have them answer with the question: “Doesn’t that only apply to supplements?” I don’t know! That’s why I’m asking. I want my thyroid prescription to work as it’s supposed to. Can you shed light on this issue? -- E.G.

ANSWER: Large amounts of elemental calcium do decrease the absorption of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine. If you were to take thyroxine (Synthroid and others) at the same time as you would a large calcium pill, you could expect the thyroid medicine to be about 7% to 8% less absorbed. (Iron and caffeine also decrease thyroid hormone absorption.)

A glass of cow’s milk taken at the same time will decrease thyroid hormone absorption. Soy milk has not been studied, but I would expect calcium-fortified soy milk to be similar to milk, yogurt and some high-calcium cheeses in their ability to reduce thyroxine absorption. However, I think you may be taking things too far. One hour is probably adequate enough to separate calcium from thyroxine. Furthermore, if you are consistent in taking your medication, your dose will get adjusted to the correct level. I doubt that vegetables have any effect on absorption.

Finally, in a study of people who took thyroxine sometimes with and sometimes without their calcium, the change was not enough to get them out of the desirable range, although the levels were definitely affected. The dose of thyroid hormone has a little bit of leeway in most people, although some people (such as those with a history of thyroid cancer who are now on replacement therapy after surgery) need to have a very exact dosage. So, avoiding calcium, iron and caffeine in those cases is more critical.

HOW TO SELF-TEST FOR SKIN CANCER

Examine your neck and scalp. The neck and even the scalp is vulnerable to exposure to the sun and potentially harmful ultraviolet rays. Use a hand mirror to examine the back of your neck and your scalp. When inspecting the scalp, part your hair so you can get a closer look.

Sue DeBruyne, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology

DON’T LET SUNBURN DERAIL SUMMER FUN

Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health. That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside.

Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than one-third of adults and nearly 70 percent of children admit to suffering from sunburn within the past year. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.

Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. According to WebMD, ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers. It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, it is best for people of all ages to exercise caution when spending time in the sun.

Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn is simple.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

KITCHEN DESIGN WITH HEALTH AND ERGONOMICS IN MIND

(NAPSI)—Whether you’re among the 50 million Americans over 65 (90 percent of whom hope to continue to age at home), the 60 percent of families with children at home, have other ability issues or safety concerns or think you could someday, incorporating ergonomic elements that promote a seamless experience in the kitchen can make it a more comfortable place for everyone for many years to come.

Smart Sinks Given the amount of time spent in front of the sink, selecting one that considers your lifestyle and how you cook should be a priority. Details such as the durability and hygienic qualities of a sink’s material along with its style and size can impact efficiency and comfort.

For example, the latest sink from BLANCO, a manufacturer of finely crafted sinks, is designed to enhance workflow and accommodate all users. A first of its kind, the IKON® 33” Apron 1 3/4 Bowl with Low Divide sink is made with the brand’s exclusive SILGRANIT granite composite material. Easy to clean and scratch resistant, patented SILGRANIT material is a repellent, nonporous surface that eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals when cleaning.

The IKON sink also has a convenient low divide that sits just 5 1/2” from the sink bottom, making it easier to handle large pots and baking sheets while still dividing the sink into cleaning and prepping bowls. The apron front or farmhouse design, minimizes the need to lean over as much and so helps reduce strain.

Optional accessories further enhance comfort and workflow. A floating grid provides an extra level within the sink so handling hot and heavy pots can be safer and easier. A Floating Cutting Board that fits right on top of the sink instantly creates another workspace beyond the countertop.

Faucets Semi-professional and pull-down faucet models help make clean-up more efficient with their easy-to-maneuver design and powerful dual spray features. To make washing hands, food and dishes easier, consider a faucet with sensor technology such as the BLANCO SOLENTA™ Senso Semi-Professional Kitchen Faucet that lets you turn on the water with a wave of your hand. You don’t have to touch the faucet with your hands to get them clean—or if they’re full. Other ways to enhance the ergonomics in your kitchen include:

• Use drawers instead of cabinets for storage so there’s less reaching

• Install different countertop heights to accommodate various users

• Raise the height of the dishwasher and oven if you can

• Select nonporous counter materials like quartz that are easy to keep clean

• Use LED lights for more brightness from less energy and that are cool to the touch

• Consider an easy-to-clean induction cooking surface—it can reduce energy costs, too Learn More: For further facts about sinks and faucets that can make your kitchen safer, more efficient and even better looking, visit blancoamerica.com.

WHAT IS A WILL?

The online financial resource Investopedia notes that wills are legally enforceable documents that dictate how people want their affairs handled and assets allocated in the wake of their deaths.

Wills should include a host of information, including who a person wants to assume guardianship of their minor-aged children should they pass away. This is especially important information to include in a will, as surviving relatives may have to go to court to contest guardianship if parents do not dictate who they want to serve as guardians in their wills.

Plant a tree. Trees have long symbolized life and wisdom. Trees can live for dozens of years, growing larger and more vibrant with each year that passes.Plantingatreeinalovedone’snamewillcreateabeautifulrespite that people can visit and enjoy. A small plaque or another type of sign can feature the name of the person being memorialized.

General eulogy preparation tips:

Eulogies are for the living, and for everyone at a remembrance service.

Time has stood still since that tragic night, Anthony, when you were taken from your loving family.

It’s been a year already, Anthony, but it seems like yesterday. We miss you every day: your funny jokes, your laughter, and that beautiful smile.

You were a loving son, always there to help us and others. You may not be here now, but you will never be forgotten.

Anthony, you touched so many lives in such a short time. We would have loved to see you grow old with your family.

We are so proud of all your achievements and the honors you have received from the Rochester Police Department and the Tactical Unit 8.

We were so grateful for the time we had with you, Anthony, and the wonderful memories we shared.

The heartache and pain will never go away now that you are gone, but you will never be forgotten. We know you are watching over all your Family and Friends. Until we meet again, our son, be happy with all your family in Heaven. We know you are safe and at peace with God.

Be brief. People listen for three to five minutes. After five minutes, people stop listening. Do a bit of research. Talk to others. What are some childhood memories? Was there a favorite lesson learned? Was there a favorite quote or an inspiring song? What was the deceased like at work? What were some favorite accomplishments?

Write out the eulogy. Even if you are an experienced speaker, during the emotional time of a rememberance service it is especially easy to wander.

Write and speak from the heart. Be yourself.

Practice the eulogy. Time it. Rehearse in front of an audience (one or two people).

Have a back-up plan. In case you are unable to begin or finish, have someone else prepared to deliver the eulogy for you.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signs Executive Order 9981, banning discrimination in the military. It ended a long-standing practice of segregating Black soldiers and relegating them to more menial jobs. African Americans had been serving in the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War.

Puppy Piddling is a Real Pain

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 6-month-old, medium-size mixed breed dog Jake has a problem I can’t seem to train him out of. Whenever he gets excited, he leaves pee droplets across the oor. Jake is healthy and energetic, and he housetrained quickly. What can I do to stop the piddling? -- Pupper Dad in Ohio

DEAR PUPPER DAD: ere’s a very good chance that it can be resolved. It will take time and training, though.

Puppies under a year old piddle when they get excited or when they think they’re in trouble. Part of it may be a smaller bladder, but another part of it is what’s called “submissive urination.” Dogs piddle instinctively to signal that you are their superior. However, this isn’t a wild dog pack outdoors; it’s you and your dog and your beautiful hardwood oor.

Punishing or yelling at Jake when he piddles will not solve the problem. e real issue is one of con dence and of nding where he belongs in the household. Most puppies stop piddling at around one year old, especially in a home where there’s a predictable structure, as they mature and settle into their place in the family.

Hi all! Our names are Jerry and George!

We love to chase each other around the house, play with our toys, and snuggle with our favorite humans!

Encourage this during Jake’s rst year by staying calm when he piddles. Yelling or trying to correct on the spot can make the problem worse. Clean up the urine and lead him to a di erent spot, and work on a basic command with him like “sit-stay.”

Try not to pay attention to Jake when you come in the door from work. Ask visitors to look away from him when they come in. Later, when you and your visitors are settled on the sofa, pay attention to Jake with lots of praise.
