MUST-HAVES FOR YOUR PADDY’S DAY PARTY

When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, cuisine, hosts should not overlook the importance of providing some staples that people have grown to expect on March 17. Corned beef and cabbage might not be the most authentic Irish meal, but it’s become synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and therefore earned its place on your Paddy’s Day menu. Hosts can start the day off right by whipping up a pre-parade traditional Irish breakfast, complete with eggs, Irish bacon, white and black pudding, and brown bread. Hosts need not feel beholden to cuisine exclusive to Ireland or those that have become synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day, but making sure at least one such dish is available is guaranteed to please your guests.

VENT BRIGHTER

As relayed to me:

On the very busy morning of Sunday, February 18th, at Wegmans Geneseo, an older gentleman’s cashier had rung up his large number of items, and he then discovered that he had forgotten his wallet. As he and the cashier tried to decide what to do, the woman behind him in line handed the cashier her credit card and very, very, generously rescued him. He protested, saying that he lived close by & could easily run home to get his wallet. She refused and just said “Pay it forward.”

Smoking areas in parking lots and shopping plazas

I’d just like to tell that woman that I have known that man for decades, and he has always been helping others with all kinds of issues, but he was truly surprised, and very grateful, to be on the receiving end that day. I know that he will definitely Pay it Forward.

Everyone smokes in [local] plaza. I walk to the grocery store there almost every day, and there is usually someone standing or sitting someplace smoking. Most employees from [the grocery store] smoke on their breaks and couldn’t care less about the non-smokers like myself who don’t want to smell the smoke. I have to go in the street and almost get run over. Legislation should say “No smoking, vaping, or using tobacco products in all shopping plazas, parking lots, etc.” They are too lax with this issue. The American Cancer Society got involved with [a company] and now they don’t sell cigarettes. However, other stores still sell them, which says it’s okay to smoke. [Another company] has signs in the windows saying “No Smoking,” but inside they sell cigarettes. More should be done.

German War prisoners

The Hometown Story in your January 19th issue reminded me of the experiences we had with German war prisoners. In the early 1940s, my parents contracted with the Heinz Co. to raise tomatoes. My mother, Anna, a German immigrant, and our neighbor’s 20-yr-old daughter drove the truck full of ripe tomatoes to the Hilton facility. My mother did not disclose that she was German when they arrived. As they unloaded the truck, the prisoners commented in German on the attractiveness of the young woman and speculated what she might look like without any clothes. In German, Anna said she would look like any of the girls they had at home. The prisoners were surprised and also happy to hear German. Much discussion followed about where they and she were from in Germany. They were glad the war was over for them and they were in the US rather than Russia. They felt they were treated and cared for quite well but missed family and friends back home.

Well Meaning Efforts with Poor Results

Many local residents are involved in helping feral cat colonies. For those unfamiliar, these people trap feral cats, have them spayed or neutered, and release them back to their colony. Some people provide the colonies with cat food. Their efforts come from their kind and loving hearts. I’ve owned pet cats for 29 years, and I’m ready to take off the rose-colored glasses and admit the feral cat colony concept is not working. Friends directly involved in colony support tell me there are always more cats coming in and restarting the flow of kittens. The constant drain on [humane society]’s resources (and others who offer spaying) is not the best use of funds. Cats are not part of our native ecosystem and the effect on our native bird populations is devastating. Walk outside anywhere and you’ll notice the vast decline in the number of birds. There are many factors against birds, but this is one we can control. This failed experiment needs to be replaced with humane euthanasia for feral cats.

CONTROL CRABGRASS BEFORE IT APPEARS

Apply a pre-emergent herbicide. Pre-emergent herbicides kill crabgrass seedlings as they germinate. While these herbicides are highly effective, they must be applied at precisely the right time. The right time to apply them depends on weather patterns. For example, Lowes notes that homeowners who live in regions that might have experienced warmer than usual winters will probably need to apply the herbicides earlier than usual. While the manufacturer instructions should always be followed when applying herbicides, it’s essential that homeowners take weather patterns into consideration as well.

AVOID ACHES AND PAINS WHEN GARDENING

Take frequent breaks. Frequent breaks can help combat the stiffness and muscle aches that may not appear until gardeners finish their gardening sessions. Breaks help to alleviate muscles or joints that can become overtaxed when gardening for long, uninterrupted periods of time. When leaning down or working on your hands and knees, stand up to take breaks every 20 minutes or the moment aches and pains start to make their presence felt.

DID YOU KNOW? When remodeling a home with the ultimate goal of making it more attractive to prospective buyers, homeowners can benefit from taking stock of current trends, including the style of home that’s most popular. According to a 2020 Homes.com survey of more than 5,000 adults across the United States, modern farmhouse is the most favored house style. The survey asked participants to choose from a selection of styles, including mid-century modern ranch, Spanish colonial/ southwest, bohemian craftsman, Italianate, French chateau, and Tudor. The modern farmhouse style was the most popular choice in 42 of the 50 states,proving that home style preference is not beholden to geography. Respondents gave a host of reasons for favoring the modern farmhouse look, including that the style is “aesthetically appealing but not boring” and that it looks “simple, cozy, and not too busy.”

SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY

St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who are not of Irish descent and/or those who have never visited Ireland may not know it, but the live music they may hear when entering a pub on St. Patrick’s Day is an integral part of the fabric of Irish culture. An Irish Seisiún typically finds a group of musicians gathered in a pub to play traditional Irish music, oftentimes while seated at a table among their audience. While many pubs reserve stage areas for their musicians on St. Patrick’s Day, the spirit of seisiún is still present, as musicians often interact with the audience.

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING

Consider relocating. The pandemic forced many companies to transition from in office working to remote working overnight.That trial by fire could have lasting results.A 2020 survey of 317 Chief Financial Officers and leaders in the finance industry found that 74 percent will move at least 5 percent of their previously on-site workforce to permanently remote positions after the pandemic ends. The survey, conducted by Gartner, Inc., also found that nearly one-quarter of respondents will move at least 20 percent of their onsite workers to permanently remote positions.That could make it possible for millions of working professionals to relocate to regions with a lower cost of living than their current towns or cities.

Proton-Pump Inhibitors

Highly Recommended for Barrett’s Esophagus

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a retired male over 65 and a former occasional cigar smoker. I quit 15 years ago after I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus. I was also a former drinker and quit seven years ago. I regularly completed all the biopsies as required and took my proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) daily as instructed.

This year, I read an article about PPIs contributing to dementia and neuropathy, which I have. My primary care physician suggested that I switch to over-the-counter H2 blockers as a safer approach. I developed an irregular heart rhythm and soaring blood pressure. I was then diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib). My stress test and echocardiogram are normal for my age. I am now on some heavyduty beta blockers, blood thinners and a very expensive rhythmcontrol drug.

A book I recently read written by two top cardiologists stated that long-term use of PPIs is dangerous and can cause AFib, but a recent article published by the National Institute of Health states the opposite. I also read that an irritated esophagus stimulates the esophagus nerve and triggers AFib. I’m confused now.

Because Barrett’s vastly increases my chances for getting a very aggressive cancer, doing nothing is not an option. I have already modified and continue to modify my diet, but that only goes so far. And as I’m sure you are aware of, a stroke caused by AFib is often life-threatening.

My complicated question is, which professional approach would you recommend: PPIs or H2 blockers? Is there a third option? -- B.B.

ANSWER: There is not a definitive answer on whether PPIs, like omeprazole, increase the risk of AFib. Studies are potentially confounded by the fact that people with AFib sometimes think they have stomach problems and may take a PPI, leading to a false association between the PPI and AFib. As you say, there have also been studies that suggest a decreased risk of AFib in people who use PPIs.

In my mind, the increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus as a result of untreated stomach acid reflux in a person with Barrett’s esophagus is the key in this situation, as Barrett’s is a condition where abnormal lining of the esophagus occurs due to years of acid exposure.

I do not believe over-the-counter H2 blockers, like famotidine (Pepcid), are adequate enough to reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, so I advise patients in your situation to use PPIs, despite their known risks.

The data suggesting a risk of dementia are weak. While there might be a small risk, the risk isn’t high enough to avoid using a PPI in a person with Barrett’s. B12 deficiency is absolutely a risk in people taking long-term PPIs. Low B12 can certainly lead to neuropathy, but both can be prevented and treated by testing for B12 deficiency and by getting supplementation, if needed.

I am very glad to hear you are getting routine endoscopic surveillance and biopsies so that any abnormal growth of the esophagus can be identified and treated promptly.

Core exercises strengthen and sculpt abdominal muscles, creating a win-win situation for anyone who wants to get healthy and look good doing it.

WHEN A TOOTH MIGRATES

Teeth continue to shift inside your mouth for your entire life. Minor changes in tooth alignment are normal, often caused by loss of density and elasticity in bones and connective tissue as we age. But some tooth migrations are caused by periodontal disease (advanced gum disease). Periodontal disease causes gums to pull away from teeth (recede) and bone loss, which loosen teeth. When caused by periodontal disease, the condition is called pathologic tooth migration (PTM). The front teeth are most affected and may shift, rotate, become displaced from the socket, or a combination of these. Injuries, teeth grinding, missing teeth, and even habits like thumb sucking or nail-biting cause normal tooth movement but can also cause moderate migration.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NERVE INJURIES

What are the symptoms of peripheral nerve injuries? The Mayo Clinic notes that symptoms of peripheral nerve injuries, including pain, range from mild to severe. Severe symptoms can seriously limit individuals’ ability to perform and engage in daily activities. Symptoms differ depending on which nerve fibers are affected. Motor nerves regulate all the muscles under conscious control,helping people to walk,speak and hold objects. Sensory nerves relay information about touch, temperature and pain, while autonomic nerves regulate activities that are not consciously controlled, such as breathing, heart function and digestion. Since these functions are so different, it’s no surprise that injuries to each type of nerve produce different symptoms. From

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS

is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

GAS IN A CAR WON’T STAY FRESH FOREVER

Can gas go bad? Yes it can, the lighter, more volatile components of gasoline evaporate over time. Old gas can compromise engine performance, potentially causing a car to hesitate or stall. Gas that has gone bad can begin to smell like varnish. To determine if gas smells differently, drivers should remove the gas cap and stand next to the car where you would normally put the gas pump. If you detect an aroma of varnish, then the gas has likely gone bad. Gas can begin to go bad in as little as three months, so drivers who haven’t driven much over that period may have bad gas in their tanks. One way drivers can combat bad gas, even if they aren’t driving much, is to add fuel stabilizer when filling up the tank. Fuel stabilizer keeps gas from degrading, but it’s only effective if it is mixed with good gasoline, hence the reason to add it when filling up and not when you detect the gas already in the car has gone bad.

Hocus Focus

BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

GThe Frost Process: Cultivating Forests, One White Oak at a Time

BY SUZIE WELLS

reece resident, Steven Frost, is a man of many talents and hobbies. A retired elementary school teacher, son of beloved Midlakes High School English teacher, Marilyn Frost, and husband of pastor at Newark’s Park Presbyterian Church, Susan Frost, Steven enjoys archery and bowhunting, as well as turning wood, including making hundreds of magic wands for Harry Potter festivals.

What gives Steven even greater prominence, however, is what’s known as “ e Frost Process” of raising thousands of baby white oak trees he then has given away across the region. His hobby gained the recognition of SUNY Oswego’s Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project, to which 1,400 of his baby white oaks have gone to help.

Steven says he got the “tree bug” from his dad, who was always digging up seedlings and planting them around his property. Steven decided to focus on white oak, because their acorns taste better and the deer, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, and turkey seem to prefer them over the black oak family of red, black, scarlet, and pin oaks.

e white oak family includes white, bur, swamp white, English, and chestnut oak.

“Over a 15-year period with lots of trial and error,” Steven developed a method to start white oak trees from acorns. e process starts by collecting acorns in late August or early September using a Nut Wizard tool.

Each day, he’d collected compost from the school cafeteria, expired salad bar items, le over mashed potatoes, bean dip, pizza, etc. He called this “bio-slime.” He dumped the bio-slime onto his compost pile and rototilled it in. is compost is the medium he then planted the acorns in. No sticks, no stones, and excellent nutrition. And it was free soil that otherwise saved material from the trash.

Bucket lids keep the soil moist so acorns don’t dry out and allow them to be stacked.

In spring when the temps stay above freezing, acorns wake up and sprout baby trees. Chipmunks and squirrels dig up acorns to eat the tender roots and tops, so Steven built cages out of ½” hardware cloth to keep the squirrels out and leaves the cages on until baby trees outgrow the height of the cages, usually in June or July. By that time, the trees don’t smell like acorns anymore and are safe from squirrels.

Oaks grow a tap root that goes straight down. Pots must be deep enough to allow adequate root growth. If planted in a shallow pot, roots grow around the inside of the pot with a weaker root system when the tree is transplanted. Steven was happy to discover that grocery store bakery departments’ icing buckets are perfect for his white oak acorns, 9” square, about 18” deep, with lids. Stores are happy to recycle/donate the empty buckets.

White oak acorns germinate and grow roots as soon as they contact soil in the fall. Roots might grow as long as 4” before cold temps force dormancy. In nature, an acorn gets buried by a squirrel and it becomes part of nature’s food pantry. Acorns that are not dug up nor eaten by deer or squirrels during winter sprout in the spring. Fall leaves and snow serve as insulation and prevent them from freezing and dying.

e biggest contributing factor to success, Steven says, is finding a cold, not freezing environment to store them in until spring. His outside storage space that shared a basement wall is perfect, with enough heat from the basement to keep the space cold but not freezing.

Baby white oaks should be harvested in September, or else the roots will outgrow the bucket. To harvest a bucket, Steven turns the garden hose to jet and sprays around the inside perimeter of the bucket, then dumps out the root/dirt/tree mass. Turning down the hose pressure, he rinses and picks apart roots that have grown together.

He says he usually ends up with 20-25 bare root seedlings 4-12” tall with root systems to match. ese should be planted immediately, within a day or two of harvesting, and the roots cannot dry out. Damp paper towels and plastic wrap help.

Over the years, Steven gave away these baby whites to teachers at his school, and finally a colleague referred him to Dr. Kristen Haynes of SUNY Oswego and the Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project.

Two hundred years ago, the Erie Canal barges were built out of white oak lumber, which meant most white oaks in this part of the country were overharvested. “ e Canal Forest Restoration Project is on a mission to restore the presence of white oak and white pine trees in New York State’s Canal Regions.” ey give away baby trees at events around the state.

Steven’s baby white oaks and his Frost Process have been helpful. Dr. Haynes says Steven “is a true unsung hero of the region and a highly valuable collaborator for our project.”

Little Leprechauns

FUN PAGE

Set your trap on St. Patrick’s Eve before going to bed. If you wake to find a treat in your trap, you caught a leprechaun!

1. Use a jar, box, or empty tissue box to build your Leprechaun trap.

2. Decorate your trap using rainbows, shamrocks, stickers, glitter or anything else you think might lure a leprechaun.

3. Create a trapping mechanism at the entry point of your trap. You can angle a stick or straw to prop open a trap door, or drape some felt over the top.

4. Build a ladder leading to your trap’s entry point using pipe cleaners or craft sticks.

5. Deposit some pennies, foil-wrapped coins or lucky charms inside your trap or on top of the felt as bait.

6. Set your trap before going to bed on March 16. Remember, a leprechaun will only visit while you’re sleeping.

7. Check your trap in the morning. Sneaky little leprechauns rarely stay trapped, but if you caught one who escaped, you might find he left behind a treat for you!

Help Reduce Animal Overpopulation

One of the easiest ways to prevent pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter animals. Cats can reproduce at very fast rates. According to the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team of Central Oregon, two uncontrolled breeding cats can create the following situation if they have two litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter: 12 cats in the first year, 66 cats in the second year, and 2,201 cats in the third year. Cats reach puberty between 4 and 12 months of age. Female cats reproduce between January and September, and might come back into “heat” every 14 to 21 days until they have bred or daylight decreases considerably. Cats can give birth 60 days after they have bred.

Homemade Treats

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My new puppy’s training is going very well, and he responds very well to rewards of little treats. I worry about feeding him so many processed, store-bought snacks though. What are some natural or homemade alternatives for treats? -- Maggie T., Nashua, N.H.

A: Many alternative recipes for homemade doggie treats are available on the internet and at the bookstore, but the healthiest ones share many common features. is means that you can find quite a few good recipes out there, or develop a few of your own.

Common ingredients in dog treats are meat protein (either from fresh meats, broths or strained baby foods), whole-grain flours (like wheat, oats, corn or rice), eggs and powdered supplements (like brewer’s yeast or garlic). A variety of flavorings can be added, including peanut butter, sugar or molasses, vanilla, salt, and small amounts of cheese or milk. Dry or instant yeast can be added to biscuit-type recipes, to allow the dough to rise before baking.

A popular training asset is liver treats, which can be made fairly easy and which last about four to five days if stored properly (in an airtight container and refrigerated). Chicken livers, eggs and sweetener are pureed, flour or cornmeal is mixed in (some owners add powdered supplements as well) and the mixture is baked, cooled and sliced into bite-size treats.

Certain foods are never safe for dogs, so don’t use any recipe that contains these ingredients: chocolate, onions, raisins/grapes or macadamia nuts. ey seem like fairly innocent foods, but can cause serious health problems in dogs.

Baking and testing these snacks out on your puppy can be a lot of fun. Remember, you can also share recipes with other dog owners and perhaps find the perfect treat for your companion.

DEBUNKING MYTHS ABOUT IRISH CULTURE

Ireland is not a part of the United Kingdom. Many people mistakenly believe that Ireland is part of the United Kingdom. However, this hasn’t been true since the conclusion of the Irish War of Independence. in 1921. The six counties known as Northern Ireland are still part of the UK, but the remainder of the island makes up the Republic of Ireland.

DID YOU KNOW?

Perhaps in part to its widespread use in St. Patrick’s Day decorations and imagery, the shamrock is widely considered the official symbol of Ireland. But while St. Patrick is believed to have used the shamrock to teach the Christian notion of the Holy Trinity, the clover was never an official symbol of Ireland. That designation is held by the harp, which has been featured on the coat of arms of Ireland for centuries. The harp also was adopted as the emblem of the Irish Free State when it separated from the United Kingdom in 1922.

THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CREATING WILLS Pets: Some people prefer to use their will to also dictate guardianship for their pets and to leave money or property to help care for those pets. However, pets do not have the legal capacity to own property, so one shouldn’t gift money directly to pets in a will.

DID YOU KNOW?

Howhouseholdsearntheirincome has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Look for ways to be more efficient. Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects. Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.

HUMBLE AND TRADITIONAL CULINARY CREATION

A number of things are readily associated with Irish culture, especially in proximity to St. Patrick’s Day. A particular shade of green, referred to as “Kelly green,” corned beef, potatoes, parades - even enjoying a pint at the pub. One of the cherished traditions of St. Patrick’s Day, and even everyday Irish cuisine, is whipping up a family recipe for Irish soda bread.

True Irish soda bread continues today to be an international favorite. While it is enjoyed across Ireland, it’s also widely enjoyed wherever Irish immigrants have established roots and elsewhere. Most of the ingredients necessary to prepare Irish soda bread can already be found in many homes.

Irishsodabreadgetsitsnamenotfromasweetenedcarbonateddrink,butby the leavening agent that is used in place of yeast. Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) is a common component of quick bread cooking. When the baking soda is mixed with the flour and a soured milk (butter milk, for example), its chemical qualities produce carbon dioxide gas bubbles that help give soda bread it’s risen, airy texture. In some recipes, live yogurt, or even stout, are used as the liquid to activate the baking soda.

While the Irish adapted the science behind baking soda and have come to be associated with soda bread’s origins, the earliest reference to soda ash being used in baking bread is actually credited to the American Indians. Baking soda was not brought to nor discovered in Ireland until the middle of the 19th century. However, it is the Irish who have made soda bread much their own. It tends to be an easy an inexpensive bread to make to feed many and is very versatile. Soda bread in some shape or form is enjoyed by cultures all around the world. From Scotland to Poland to Serbia to Australia, these countries have their own versions of soda bread and their own cooking methods.

In honor of St. Patrick and other Christian celebrations, soda bread is traditionally made with a cross shape cut into the top of the dough. Legend has it that people did it to “let the devil out” while it’s baking for good luck, and others say that this last step made it easy to divide the bread into pieces. Soda bread has become synonymous with Irish culture. Enjoyed plain or with some Irish butter, it’s a common component of meals throughout the year, and most especially on St. Patrick’s Day.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize. Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop timesaving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time. Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress. The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.

Under the giving snow blossoms a daring spring. ~ Terri Guillemets
