* The oleander is the official flower of the city of Hiroshima. It was the first to bloom again after the explosion of the atomic bomb in 1945.

Charlton Heston was cast as Moses in the 1956 blockbuster movie “The Ten Commandments” partly because he resembled Michelangelo’s famous statue of Moses.

(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity: Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.

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

Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.

* On Aug. 17, 1969, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair ends after three days of peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll in rural New York. Promoters expected no more than 200,000 people, but almost half a million showed up, with most getting in free when the gates had to be opened.

MASONRY & BASEMENT

THE

Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE

Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to ﬁnd sale items and which foods to buy and which toavoid.Nutritionisnotalwaysforemostonthemindsofcollegefreshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

DID YOU KNOW?

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may ﬁnd their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

TIPS FOR COMFORTABLE CAMPING

Invest in quality gear - In addition to the tent, campers will need a tarp/ground cover to place under the tent. This helps prevent moisture seepage from the soil. Next, determine how everyone will sleep, whether on the ground or in cots. Cots can be the most comfortable options, but they take up a lot of space and can be heavy to transport - which is less than ideal when backpacking to a campsite. Inﬂatable mattresses or sleeping pads can be used in conjunction with sleeping bags to provide a soft, cushioned surface. Some are affordable at $40 while others may cost as much as $300. Costlier options may be best for frequent campers.

GRILLED CALIFORNIA SWEET POTATOES

(NAPSI)—The next time you’re ﬁring up the outdoor grill (or indoor grill pan, for that matter), throw on a sweet potato or two. An easy, healthy side dish with a huge wow factor,grilled sweet potatoes are nutrient rich, high in ﬁber and absolutely delicious. And they go great with burgers, steaks, chops, chicken or pretty much anything off the grill.

Start with this basic recipe, and if you’re feeling creative, try different shapes—sweet potato coins or steak fries, for example. Or add your favorite herbs and spices—such as chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, cinnamon or smoked paprika.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

Serves 3 or 4

1 lb orange- or yellow/white-ﬂeshed sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise into ¾-inch wedges

1 ½ Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt, plus more for sprinkling

Heat a grill or grill pan to mediumhigh. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, oil and salt. Arrange sweet potatoes on the grill or grill pan and cook until lightly charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Sprinkle with more salt and serve.

For more recipes, nutritional information and tips for cooking with California sweetpotatoes, go to www.casweetpotatoes.com.

(NAPSI)—Each year, armed conﬂicts and natural disasters wreak havoc on a global scale. Yet even after the immediate crisis passes, the devastation can last much longer— particularly when families are torn apartamidstcircumstanceandchaos.

In these cases, family members are often left with few resources and no sense of where to begin their quest to ﬁnd their missing loved ones. Fortunately, there is a worldwide organization that works to reconnect families who have been separated by internationalcrises.

The American Red Cross—part of the world’s largest humanitarian network— offers free and conﬁdential services, strivingtoreconnectlovedoneswhen:

• Families are separated as a result of international conﬂict, disaster, migration or other humanitarian emergency.

• Families have already tried normal channels of communication to reconnect.

• The family member making the inquiry is a relative who had been in direct contact with the sought personbeforethecrisisoccurred.

Across international boundaries, the organization offers a beacon of hope for families to be reunited.And though the process can take time, Red Cross volunteers do everything in their power—from phone calls and online searches, to in-person interviews and worldwide travel—to fulfill families’ hopes.

“These people have broken hearts,” said Fidele, a Red Cross volunteer from Burundi who was previously reunited with his father after a 20year search. “We ask questions about what their loved one looks like or where they last lived to help us with our search. These questions bring them back to the time they were forced to separate from their families.”

Little Words, Big Impact

Theorganizationalsomakesitpossible fordisplacedindividualstoreachoutto their families—even half a world away. The family messages transmitted by the American Red Cross can be very brief, but the three short words—“I am alive”—maybeallthatisneededtoease themindsof distraughtlovedones.

To begin a search, contact your local Red Cross chapter—the critical link in your community to the global Red Cross Red Crescent network. You can also call the free national helpline at (844)782-9441.

From Latin America and Africa to Asia and Europe, the American Red Cross helps people in some of the world’s most at-risk communities. This work is powered by the generosity of volunteers and donors. To learn more visitredcross.org/international.

MAGGIE COLEMAN’S MISSION TO

CONNECT & EMPOWER

ROCHESTER WOMEN

A Chemical Engineering major at University of Buffalo, Maggie Coleman has been a real estate agent in Rochester for 11 years, making authentic connections and helping people fulfill their dreams. Maggie lives in Irondequoit with her fiancé, Anthony, and their three pups, Odin, Capellini, and JB. She and Anthony love the local food scene and love to dine out. She also loves to travel to Maine and “visit family and eat as many lobster rolls as I possibly can when I am there.” She loves running and walking around her neighborhood, or for a drive, she says she loves Chimney Bluffs.

An avid weightli er for almost 20 years, Maggie found herself paying more and more attention to her cardio workouts post-COVID. She says, “I have found that when I do more cardio-based activities, I feel better.” For the past year, she has tuned in more to tracking her step count and making sure she gets her body not only li ing but moving as a whole.

She also recognized a need in the Rochester community for groups with no cost and low stakes for women to get together socially, be

“When women support each other, incredible things happen.”

and making new friends. Maggie says, “It’s an opportunity to be part of something so special while enhancing your overall well-being.”

Maggie says she’d love to continue to grow this amazing group, and she has set her sights on starting a podcast meeting with local businesswomen and sharing their stories with the Rochester community. She says, “I think there is a huge need to share more positivity in the community and I would love to continue to grow and do just that.”

Maggie says her top two favorite locations RocGirlWalks has visited so far are Turning Point Park and Durand Eastman Beach. She says, “Both have amazing trails that bring you by water and woods, and both of them were so beautiful!” Maggie looks forward to RocGirlWalks’ ﬁrst autumn for walks. “Not only is it the best time of year, but the beauty of the leaves changing color and the smell of the crisp air – It is unbeatable!”

A big reason some women join walking clubs is for safety in groups, Maggie admits, and safety is paramount to RocGirlWalks. eir walk location changes with each meetup, with only a general area noted publicly, and members must be on Maggie’s email list to learn the exact meetup location. She helps reduce walker anxiety and increase safety by sending out detailed information on precise location and route (though once you arrive, it’s hard to miss the mass of women ready to welcome you, as I discovered when I met them), as well as parking and restroom facilities available at the particular meetup location.

each month, with other outings sprinkled in. Walks typically range around three miles in a little over an hour, usually with at least one weeknight walk and a Saturday morning walk or two. Forthcoming will be longer weekend walks for those interested. Women come together to network, get fresh air, and get their steps in as they explore beautiful parks, trails, and communities around Rochester.

“Rochester is so big, so we strive to have diﬀerent walking locations every time,” Maggie explains, adding that choosing locations across the community also helps “ensure we can reach the people of our community wherever they are.”

Joining RocGirlWalks means gaining a supportive community, improving your ﬁtness by getting in steps, boosting self-conﬁdence, BY

Maggie Coleman’s story is a testament to the power of community, the joy of ﬁtness, and the impact one person can have when they see a need and take action. Whether she’s helping someone ﬁnd their dream home or leading a group of women on a walk through Rochester’s scenic trails, Maggie embodies a spirit of positivity, support, and genuine connection. RocGirlWalks is more than just a walking club; it’s a movement that brings women together, fostering friendships, promoting wellness, and empowering each member to thrive.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

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

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

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

DID YOU KNOW?

Though office work might not be the first profession individuals think of in relation to elevating one’s cancer risk, sitting at a desk for most of the day can increase a person’s risk for cancer. According to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, sitting for most of the day without engaging in physical activity puts individuals at increased risk for cancer. How much extra risk does that entail? Though no two individuals are the same, studies have equated sitting for eight hours a day without any physical activity to the risk posed by obesity and smoking. The DFCI notes that sitting over long periods of time has been known to cause increased blood pressure, high cholesterol and excess body fat around the waist, each of which have been identified as factors that increase a person’s risk for cancer.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

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

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

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

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

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

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

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Botox Injections Used to Treat Overactive Bladder

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

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

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

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

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

***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

A Winning Summer Reading Program

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

A Huge THANK YOU

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

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

Balloon Releases Should Be Illegal

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

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.
