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!

WAYS TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

Shop at small businesses regularly.

Try New Toppings

Smoked sausage and deli meats are easy to add to a bun for an instant meal, and there’s plenty of ways to dress your tailgate menu up or down based upon the preferences of your guests. Be sure to keep some basics on hand for those who prefer traditional preparation, but for the more adventurous types, try out these ideas for toppings that create a new dimension of flavor.

Grilled onion

DINING OUT WITH INFANTS

New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.

First, ﬁnd a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

Grilled peppers

Grilled, roasted or sauteed mushrooms

Spicy mustard

Flavored ketchup (think spicy, fruity or sweet)

Ethnic flavors like curry or marinara sauce

Hot sauce

HOW TO SPOT MOLD IN YOUR HOME

Learn what mold looks like. Not all molds are black. Some are white and look like thread, but they also can have a gray-brown or gray-green tint. When peeling old wallpaper, some people may notice orange, pink or purple growth on the newly exposed walls, and that’s likely mold.

(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

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.

POTENTIAL CULPRITS BEHIND THINNING GRASS

Stripe smut

The University of Maryland Extension notes that stripe smut primarily poses a threat to Kentucky bluegrass that is older than three years. Pale green streaks that run parallel to the veins in the leaves and leaf sheaths are symptomatic of stripe smut, which tends to be noticed in spring and fall, when weather is cool. As the disease progresses, stripes turn black or a silvery gray, causing the leaf blade to shred and curl. After the blades have shred, they turn brown and die. The grass thins because stripe smut makes it vulnerable to problems like drought.

MASONRY & BASEMENT

HOW TO CONSERVE WATER AT HOME

Conservation is an essential component of an eco-friendly lifestyle. Conserving the planet’s natural resources can have a profound impact on the planet, and conserving at home is a great way for men and women to get the ball rolling on their conservation efforts.

One of the most effective ways to conserve at home is to reduce water consumption. Few people give much thought to how much water they consume at home, as water bills tend to be considerably lower than other utilities like energy and phone. But even if efforts to conserve water at home may not make a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills, many measures can go a long way toward preserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.

LESS ENERGY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS

Determine an indoor temperature that works best for the household. Keep the thermostat set as high as possible to maintain that comfort level. If you will be out most of the day, set the programmable thermostat at a higher temperature, and then lower the temperature about an hour before you plan to return home. This reduces the number of hours the air conditioner is running.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* e best way to cook leafy, green veggies such as spinach and kale, is to stir fry them in just the water le over from rinsing. It works very well to steam them, and adds no fat!

* Keep track of capacity and dimension of your cookware by using a permanent marker to notate the speciﬁcations on the bottoms of each baking container you have. is way, when a recipe calls for a 13-by-9 baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish, you can easily tell which one you need. is is especially important if you don’t spend a lot of time cooking.

* “When you need to crush nuts or a cracker for crumbs, you can use a small can of soup to crush these in a plastic bag. is is for when you don’t have a rolling pin.” -- J.R. in Virginia

DID YOU KNOW? A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year, but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

Set Up a Homework Zone: Create a designated area at home where your child can comfortably do homework. Make sure it’s quiet, well-lit, and stocked with necessary supplies.

Communicate with Teachers: Attend any back-toschool meetings or orientations. Establish open communication with your child’s teachers, so you’re aware of their progress, assignments, and any concerns.

Morning Prep: Plan ahead for busy mornings. Lay out clothes, pack lunches, and have backpacks ready the night before to reduce morning stress.

Healthy Meals and Snacks: Pack nutritious meals and snacks for your child. A well-balanced diet supports their energy levels and concentration throughout the school day.

Stay Involved: Stay engaged in your child’s education by asking about their day, discussing their activities, and showing interest in what they’re learning. is helps build a strong parent-child connection.

The word “condiment” comes from the Latin word “condimentum”, meaning spice, seasoning or sauce, and “condire”, which means to preserve, pickle or season. Although the word was first used to describe pickling fluid and seasoning in the mid-1400s, it has come to include a wide range of different products in modern times.

Why are condiments such a common feature on dining tables? Condiments are known to be a typical compliment to food because of their ability to personalize and add taste or flavor to different dishes as desired. Condiments also offer a whole sensory experience through smell, sight, sound, and touch, making dishes much more attractive.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

What to do when your pet won’t housetrain

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a 9-month-old puppy a few weeks ago and named him “Chestnut.” He’s wonderful, but has one problem. He is still not housetrained. I think part of it is from the shelter, where the dogs routinely poop in their cages and rarely are taken outside. Plus, he was rescued from a pet hoarding situation. How can I resolve his housetraining issues? -- Glenda in Dothan, Alabama

DEAR GLENDA: Congratulations on your new family member! I know the housetraining situation is frustrating, but have patience.

Send us a photo and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Submit online at gvpennysaver.com - Share With Us. Or, Mail to: PO Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

Submit at: gvpennysaver.com under Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

If you haven’t taken Chestnut to the veterinarian yet for his ﬁrst checkup, schedule that appointment. e vet will rule out any physical problems or hidden illnesses that might be contributing to the problem, and can give some helpful advice on working with dogs from a traumatic background. at background does have an eﬀect on housetraining. Chestnut spent formative months in locations where little to no training took place, and he learned to follow the habits of the other dogs around him. So, you’ll have to retrain him away from those habits, and keep the entire experience a positive one.

Take Chestnut for walks two to three times per day, and (this is important) at the same times each day. He needs to know that at sunrise, noon and sunset, he will have “outside” time. Bring his favorite treats with you. At ﬁrst, shower him with treats for everything: putting on the leash, walking next to you, sitting on command, and every time he poops or pees. Make him look forward to pooping outside.

Never scold him if he poops inside. Just clean up and try again. If he poops in speciﬁc areas of the house, block his access to those areas if possible. Keep training positive and be patient, patient, patient. He will come around.

Men and women who grow their own vegetables can take solace knowing that the vegetables they’re eating each night did not require the depletion of any natural resources to go from garden to table. Signing up for beach cleanups can prevent trash, including harmful plastics, from making its way into the world’s oceans, and such cleanups provide a great excuse to go to the beach.

Each mumbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers diﬀer from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

Tom Feigel Recounts Vietnam War Memories in Super Slick: Life and Death in a Huey in Vietnam

BY SUZIE WELLS

Tom Feigel, a 74-year-old Vietnam War veteran from Webster, shares his experiences as Crew Chief of the Super Slick with the336thAssaultHelicopterCompanyinSocTrang,Vietnam, in his newly released book, Super Slick: Life and Death in a Huey in Vietnam

e UH-1 Huey helicopter, an iconic symbol of the Vietnam War, was at the heart of Feigel’s service. Utilized for everything from transporting troops and supplies to engaging in direct combat as gunships, Hueys became synonymous with the war’s helicopter warfare. e 336th operated in southern Vietnam’s Mekong Delta and U Minh Forest, carrying out crucial missions including combat assaults, troop insertions, extractions, and support for Seal Team 1 during Operation Bright Light.

Feigel’sjourneybeganwithBasicTrainingatFortDix,NewJersey, followed by a helicopter repairman course at Fort Eustis, Virginia. He was initially assigned to hangar crew duties but quickly found himself intheairasadoorgunnerbeforeadvancingtotheroleofCrewChief. Inthisposition,Feigelwasresponsibleforthemaintenanceandsafety of his helicopter, Warrior 21, tail number 16109, and the lives of the crew onboard.

e bond between Feigel and his crew was forged in the crucible of war. “Every hour in ﬂight, I worried if I did everything right, because their lives were in my hands,” Feigel recalls. is tight-knit team included Feigel, Randy Olson, Rob Sandwith, and Tom Wilkes, each relying on the other to survive the relentless dangers of the battleﬁeld. Sandwith said, “Tom was like a big brother to me and took me under his wing.” e team forged incredible bonds and rose to each mission together.

In 1970, following the explosion of a fellow 336th slick, Lucky Strike, Feigel’s team was tasked with converting Warrior 21 into a night-flying aircra equipped with advanced systems like Nighthawk and Firefly. ese modifications allowed the crew to patrol waterways, engage enemy forces, and carry out missions under the cover of darkness, despite the constant threat of ground fire.

e 336th Super Slick unit was disbanded later that year, and the men went their separate ways. When Vietnam Veteran and author, John Brennan, researched the 16109 for its nose art and discovered that tail number at a Bridgeport, West Virginia war memorial, Feigel

and the crew reunited. e reunion was an emotional experience for all involved, with Feigel reﬂecting on the bond they had shared. “It’s the brother you knew forty years ago. A lot of thoughts come back from that time of us together,” he says.

Wilkes says, “To know the Super Slick is still alive in a place of honor is like a dream.”

Feigel says, “It’s earned that spot. We ﬂew in that helicopter every single night... ere’s an everlasting bond between crew chief and a helicopter.”

Feigel’s book, written with ghostwriter Larry Weill, recounts many vital missions from his Vietnam experience. A er working in Xerox middle management for 40 years, Feigel felt compelled to document his wartime experiences. “My one and only personal goal, very simple, is to walk into a bookstore and pull MY BOOK from the shelf,” he says.

Super Slick: Life and Death in a Huey in Vietnam not only serves as a memoir of Feigel’s time in the war but also as a tribute to the enduring bond between the men who served alongside him. All royalties from the book will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a cause close to Feigel’s heart.

Tom Feigel and Larry Weill will sign copies of the book on Saturday, August 31st, at the Eastview Mall Barnes & Noble from 1-3 pm.

ATM Fees local hometown bank

A Big Thank You

The Humane Society of Livingston County would like to thank the Tom Moran Memorial Golf Tournament for choosing us as one recipient of the proceeds from this event. These much needed funds will go towards the care of the cats we take in from our county.

Thank You!

A grateful thank you to the young man from Henrietta who was visiting friends in Caledonia and was at the veggie stand on South Road as we pulled in at the same time. I just wanted 3 ears of corn and did not have exact change, and I was trying to ﬁgure out a way of getting change. He was very kind and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them” and proceeded to tell me “They have the best corn [he’s] had” and I must agree! It was delicious! Thank you for being so sweet and paying for my corn.

On Sunday we tried to get money out of our local hometown bank only to find that BOTH the outside and inside ATMs were out of use. Because of this we had to use another bank’s ATM and were charged a $3.75 fee. Now wouldn’t you think that our bank would refund that fee? Wrong! They said no we don’t refund those fees. All our money in this one bank and we can’t access it unless we go elsewhere. This is terrible customer service, and we definitely will not be doing any further loans or business with this bank. I’m sure if I asked a loan officer at this bank, they would refund it, but the tellers won’t. That’s enough for us.

Life on the Lawless [Local Waterway]

Like many local taxpayers, I used to enjoy scenic walks along the public pathways of our [local waterway]. But, this historic landmark has been desecrated in recent years, becoming a racing track for speed boats that soak unsuspecting pedestrians with their massive wakes that splash onto the walkways. I cannot even push my child in a stroller without her being nearly rundown by unlicensed ATVs and dirt-bikes.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Vomiting and Difﬁculty Eating Could Signify Gastroparesis

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old healthy, active woman. I normally work out six days a week and used to be in very good shape. I’m having stomach issues, which caused me to lose 20 pounds since the end of last year. I was thin to begin with and have lost a signiﬁcant amount of muscle and most of my body fat. I was diagnosed with gastric intestinal metaplasia in 2019 and had trouble eating, but I didn’t lose any signiﬁcant weight at that time. No treatment was recommended beyond a suggested follow-up in a year or two.

I have difﬁculty eating anything but a small amount of food, and if I do “overeat,” I vomit. Eating is beyond a chore, and I continue to lose weight. I have been worked up with no conclusions in sight. I had a colonoscopy two years ago that was normal. I had an abdominal CT scan with and without contrast, an endoscopy, an MR enterography, and a brain scan this year, with no results that explained my problem.

I am seeing another GI doctor soon, but I’m not particularly hopeful. I am 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and now weigh 129 pounds. I am feeling desperate. Do you have any ideas? -- L.W.

ANSWER: Weight loss can have many different causes, and it seems like your doctors have carefully looked for many of the concerning ones. Key features of your story are that you are vomiting and losing weight.

Intestinal metaplasia is when the lining of the stomach develops a microscopic appearance, similar to the intestines. This can predispose people to stomach cancer, but intestinal metaplasia can also be associated with low acid in the stomach.

Vomiting after eating normal amounts of food is a concern for a stomach mass, but between the endoscopy and the CT scan, it should have shown up. I would be concerned about gastroparesis, where the stomach doesn’t squeeze properly. Vomiting after eating is a hallmark symptom, as is feeling very full after a little food. A gastric emptying study can conﬁrm the diagnosis.

***

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.

HELPING KIDS FIND HOBBIES

Much like adults can beneﬁt from participating in hobbies, children can reap rewards from engaging in hobbies. According to the Child Development Institute, hobbies give children a chance to express themselves. The CDI also notes that hobbies can play an important role in children’s self-discovery and boost their self-esteem.

Some children may discover hobbies on their own, requiring little if any assistance on the part of their parents. For example, some kids may display an interest in music that parents, even those with no such musical inclination, can foster by purchasing certain instruments. But some children may need a little more prompting, and parents of such boys and girls can take certain steps to help their youngsters ﬁnd rewarding hobbies.

Involve kids in your own hobbies. Kids look up to their parents and often want to emulate what their mothers and fathers do. If possible, involve children in your own hobbies. Gardeners can teach their youngsters how to grow and tend to a garden, while painters can host family painting nights where everyone is encouraged to create their own masterpiece. Parents whose hobbies are more adult-oriented, like woodworking, can still involve their children. For example, work with children to design a new item, then show them how the item goes from paper to ﬁnished product; just avoid allowing them to use any unsafe tools or machines.

Let kids choose an activity. While some children might take to hobbies their parents favor, others might need to be given some freedom to ﬁnd their own activities. Afford youngsters this chance, recognizing that it might take some time before kids ﬁnd an activity that genuinely sparks their passion.

Be a source of encouragement. Some hobbies may prove more difficult than kids first imagined, requiring some perseverance before they can be enjoyed fully. In such instances, observe youngsters while they engage in the activity. If they appear to be enjoying themselves but are periodically frustrated, encourage them to keep trying. If kids appear to be disinterested in overcoming any struggles, then they might benefit by pursuing another hobby.

Don’thesitatetofocusonfun.Hobbiescanteachkidsvaluablelessonsand provide a sense of fulﬁllment, but it’s important that parents not overlook the importance of fun in regard to their children’s hobbies. Hobbies can provide children with the same respite from busy schedules that they do adults, and that break should be as fun as possible.
