Fair Housing Statement

“Hometowns seem to be loved most by the people who used to live in them....” ~ William D. Tammeus

Maybe absence does make the heart grow fonder. We constantly hear celebrities of all kinds referring to their idyllic early years in their hometown. To hear them, one has to wonder why anyone would ever leave such a friendly, fun-filled place.

Whatever hometown we come from, of whatever size, we tend to think our future lies elsewhere, in greener pastures beyond a distant fence. Only later do we realize that it wasn’t too bad at home and our affection for the place of our youth increases as the years go by.

We believe that a funeral service should be a beautiful experience, helping the bereaved to make a satisfactory adjustment to their loss.

All real estate advertised in the Genesee Valley Penny Saver is subject to the Federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, age, marital status, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination. We will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. All persons are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis.

Warmly welcome visitors to the booth or stall and express a willingness to discuss products customers appear interested in. But keep in mind that many people attend festivals and marketplaces to browse, so give them space after welcoming them to the booth.

Rhymes and Rebellion: The Poetic Journey of Chris Hammond

BY SUZIE WELLS

If you’ve been to Equal Grounds Coffee’s Pure Kona Open Mic nights over the past 31 years, chances are you’ve met or at least experienced the poetic magic that pours forth from Rochesterian Chris Hammond.

rough a lifetime of myriad jobs, including 23 years in computer hardware field engineering with what he calls “an overwhelming sense of dread for the sanity of humanity,” then 20 years of direct care at Hillside Children’s Center working in residential care services, Hammond writes whenever inspiration strikes, and the result is verse that’s authentic and applicable to the masses.

While some poets follow a regimented routine to maintain their writing habits, Hammond says his process is more “spontaneous, usually unconceived, without preset purpose or destination.” With a pen ever in his pocket, a notebook nearby wherever he goes, Hammond says he feels “no pressure, no need to finish or get it right or be polite, unguarded, unjudgeably frank, or occult hocus pocus mumbo jumbo. It’s all good when done well (even when medium rare).”

“Writing is my playground and my sanctuary,” he says, explaining that inspiration strikes in “lunch, TV, meteorology, weirdos, odd thoughts, fashion trends, uncool global warming news, hypothetical imperatives, technology, gummy bears, insect behavior trends, graphs of any kind, you name it. And don’t even start about religion, god, philosophies, politics, government administration, economics, social structure, civil affairs, foreign affairs, illicit affairs...” Due to the spontaneous nature of his writing, Hammond says, “Anything can start a fire.”

Hammond says, “I began life as a really horrible student. I was chock full of aberrance, attitude, and behavioral ticks. I never really expected or prepared to write but ended up finding myself trying to capture and express myself privately on the page in the spirit of the social/spiritual verse writers of ‘60s songs. ere was a lot of rhyming and fixed syllable structure back then and I still use that when I like.”

Being ‘liberally uneducated,’ Hammond says he recognizes structure and style, “but cannot claim (and refuse to confess to) having any. I rant, I rave, I wing it.” To Hammond, poetry, creative writing, and all art “leaves a faint mark in time and lets us see who we are. Art (all of it) is a most versatile actor. It plays every part needed to anyone wanting to share in it.”

Hammond began reading publicly in the late ‘80s in the “hallowed San Francisco Open Mic scenes of the North Beach & Mission District.” A er returning to Rochester in 1993, he has enjoyed the Pure Kona Poetry Group, Writers & Books, Rochester Poets, Tea House Gallery, Just Poets, ROC City Writers, Writers Last Supper Group, Rochester’s Fall Festival Of Reading, Brockport Dream Fest, Flying Squirrel Community Center Open Reads, Rochester School of the Arts, and Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery.

“Besides all of the 1.3 gazillion of my favorite artists and writers,” Hammond says he particularly appreciated Norm Davis, an older brother, a beloved and revered Rochester stage poet, and an original collaborator in their 17-year poetry/music ensemble Dream Engine.

To budding writers, Hammond says, “Good job, keep going. Don’t try TOOOOOO hard because it probably won’t be TRUTH. Admire, learn from, BUT do not try to be like others. YOU are too much to dismiss without a fight. And that fight (or at least a decent argument) is o en with yourself).”

His favorite accomplishment has been “learning to live with myself and others without exploding (much) and LOVING IT!” May we all be so self-assured and follow inspiration when it strikes. Join Hammond and other incredible writers at the Pure Kona Open Mic Wednesdays at Equal Grounds.

TOO TRUE

You tell me that the world is hard

I answer that it is round en, you say it’s too dangerous

To even make a sound

So I ask

But, will there be music?

Will we need to square that circle?

Truth cannot be protected

By banning the lies people tell It must be impossible

To tell the truth about lies

Are we in a pocket now, Never free to move around at will?

You see, I believe in the teachings

Not the stories told about the teachers

Truths are not a popularity contest

Morality is not a floating crap game

When the stakes grow too large ere is no prize

HOW TO STAY MENTALLY SHARP AFTER RETIREMENT

Enroll in an adult education course. A 2014 study published in the journal JAMA Neurology examined the association between lifetime intellectual enrichment and cognitive decline in the older population. The study’s authors found that higher levels of late-life cognitive activity were associated with higher levels of cognition. The study’s authors concluded that lifetime intellectual enrichment might delay the onset of cognitive impairment.

HOW TO HELP SENIORS ADAPT TO AUTOMOTIVE TECH

Teach one tech at a time: It can be overwhelming for drivers of all ages to adapt overnight to all the tech in their new vehicles. When teaching senior drivers how to utilize various driver assistance technologies, take it one tech at a time. When coupled with your patience, this approach can help seniors avoid being overwhelmed and increases the likelihood that they will embrace the tech in their vehicles.

TIPS FOR BUYING A TEEN’S FIRST VEHICLE

Is the time right? Everyone in the household may be anxious to add an extra car to the mix because it may alleviate trying to juggle use of one of the other family cars. However, do not rush into the transaction. In recent years, a lack of inventory related to the pandemic drove up the prices of both new and pre-owned vehicles. Families may need to wait until inventory increases and prices drop.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A er taking my Terrier “Hank” for a walk around my subdivision yesterday, I noticed when taking off his leash that a tick had attached itself to the back of his neck! I don’t even know where it came from; we stayed on the sidewalk. I quickly tried to remove it with tweezers, but Hank is kind of a wiggly guy, and just as I tugged on the tick, he moved and the body of the tick broke off! It looks like the tick’s head is still embedded in his skin. What can I do? Will this hurt Hank?

-- Joe K. in Sarasota Springs, New York

DEAR JOE: Since the tick’s body was removed, and you noticed it pretty quickly, Hank’s risk of contracting a tick-borne illness is low. However, an infection might develop where the tick’s head is still embedded.

Treat the bite spot with an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment. Monitor the spot for a few days. ere may be a little redness around the bite area as the skin reacts to the foreign object, and with luck, the head may be pushed out enough for you to grab it with the tweezers and remove.

When should you contact Hank’s veterinarian? If you aren’t able to remove the tick head a er a few days, it’s time to make an appointment with the vet. Or, if the redness spreads or if Hank seems distressed, lethargic or otherwise out of sorts, get him to the vet right away.

Removing a tick as soon as it’s found is important, because even though dogs can be vaccinated against Lyme Disease, other tick-borne diseases can be transmitted to your pet. Ticks are becoming active earlier in the year, so consider starting flea and tick prevention earlier, too.

Playgrounds in Germany were built for childhood development, but the first purpose-built recreational area open to the public was in Manchester, England in 1859. In the 20th Century, as more vehicles rode the streets, it wasn’t safe forchildrentoplayinthelanesneartheir homes anymore. Thus, designated play areas were built to protect kids from the dangers of the road and into securedareasinstead.

One of the first recreational areas in America was built in San Francisco’s GoldenGateParkin1887.

Here’s a Tip

• “My roses really look beautiful. When I am cutting stems to put in a bouquet, I use a clothespin to grip the stem. It saves me from getting pricked by thorns, because it has a bit of reach to it.” -- L.E. in Georgia

• For even distribution in sowing seeds for your garden, use a saltshaker for tiny seeds. You can get a cheese shaker for larger seeds, if necessary.

• To keep your brick walkway clear of grass and weeds, sprinkle salt in the cracks.

• “If you have to cut a nylon cord or shoelace, you can use a flame to melt the end into a nub that won’t run or fray. Use a little heat and press it together on a hard surface very briefly. It works fast!” -- R.S. in Maine

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).

BABY BOTTLE TOOTH DECAY

Baby bottle tooth decay can occur in children who go to bed with a bottle of juice, milk, or anything other than water. Any liquid containing a fermentable carbohydrate puts children at higher risk of tooth decay when it is consumed through a bottle or sippy cup. Infants who fall asleep while breastfeeding are also at risk. When a baby falls asleep while feeding, the liquid collects on the tongue and the roof of the mouth, submerging the upper teeth for a prolonged period. While a baby sleeps, saliva flow is lower and doesn’t flush and clean the mouth as well. This causes the sugars in liquids to collect and convert to acids that damage teeth and cause early decay.

When begun early enough, healthy habits turn into healthy lifestyles. Start with a tooth-friendly diet and proper brushing and flossing techniques.

GREAT GIFTS FOR DEAR OLD DAD

Father’s Day is right around the corner, and the time has come once again to begin searching for a gift for dear old dad. Father’s Day gift shoppers have long since abandoned the notion that a new necktie is what dad really wants, but finding a gift that expresses your love and appreciation for the old man can still prove somewhat challenging. Oftentimes, the best gifts are the ones that fulfill a need or want, and Father’s Day gifts are no exception.

Continue with regular professional care and cleanings for a beaming smile that will last a lifetime. If you would like more information on how to get your child’s dental experience off to a good start, we welcome your call at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 585.343.4246. We have both children and adults as patients here at 6 Batavia City Centre, because everyone, regardless of age, deserves a winning smile.

P.S. Babies who fall asleep while breastfeeding or bottle feeding should visit a dentist during their first year to help prevent early tooth decay.

Vocal Cord

Becomes Paralyzed After a Cold

DEAR DR. ROACH: My daughter, 45, has had a paralyzed left vocal cord for about a year now. We have been to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor who ran at least a half dozen tests, including several scans. These didn’t show a reason for the problem, and everything else appeared to be normal. She had a cold before this happened, and we were treating her for a lingering sore throat.

The doctor has told us that there is nothing to be done to unfreeze the vocal cord. I would love your opinion on this matter, as she has a lot of pain associated with it, and she coughs trying to get out what feels stuck in there. -- K.P.

ANSWER: Paralysis of the vocal cord is often the result of damage to the nerve that leads to the vocal cord; there’s one on each side. The left side is particularly vulnerable and may be damaged during surgery (especially thyroid surgery), but a big fear is that a mass (especially a cancerous one) can damage the nerve and cause paralysis of the vocal cord. This is why her doctor did a CT scan.

There are other less-common causes, such as nerve damage from other occurrences (stroke and multiple sclerosis); inflammatory diseases (lupus and others); and infections (such as Lyme disease). It sounds like the ENT doctor looked for other possibilities such as these. (But if not, then it should be done.)

When a cause can’t be found, we call it “idiopathic unilateral vocal cord paralysis.” This often seems to happen after a viral infection, and it sounds like your daughter might have had one. Many people with this condition get better by themselves during the first year, but now that it has been about a year for her, she isn’t likely to get better without treatment.

I am not an expert in treatment, but ENT surgeons have several types of surgical interventions to improve hoarseness, cough and discomfort. It’s time to go back to her ENT doctor or get referred to an expert in the surgical treatment of this condition.

Thank you to those who sat with my grandfather!

Last weekend our beloved Popop had a fall outside Lift Bridge Bookstore. Our family wants to thank Joey from Lift Bridge and the Girl Scout who sat with him to wait for an ambulance. We are grateful to you and the bookstore itself who gave us a phone call! He is doing great!

Door slamming neighbors, please be mindful!

Starting at 7am or earlier, my neighbors slam their car doors repeatedly. I don’t even understand how or why this is necessary! If you are making loud noises during the village quiet hours, be mindful that others might work late shifts, have babies, or just wanna sleep!

Kindness Can Come to a Person When Least Expected

My wife and I are senior citizens and at 6:30pm I realized I had forgotten to go to the store to get breakfast items for the next morning. I grabbed my car keys and told my wife that I’d be back in a “jiffy.” I got to the store in 5 minutes, parked near the entrance and ran inside, gathering my few items in a “jiff.” However, there were only two checkouts with a cashier. Both of them had customers with loaded carts that they were about to unload. Also, all the self checkouts were all taken with people in line. As I got behind a woman who was about to unload all her items onto the conveyor belt, she saw me and allowed me to go ahead of her. Then as I was about to pay, the cashier said the woman behind me would pay. I thanked the lady, but declined. At home I told my wife what occurred. She stated it was probably because the lady saw me with shirt worn inside out and wrinkled with my hair sticking up.

I am tired of robot telephone servers who can rarely help me with a problem. I am tired of too few workers doing too much work and thus not readily available to assist me, whether on the phone or in person. I am tired of being placed on hold for too long. I am tired of being pressured to go paperless when in fact the paper remains at my expense. I am tired of being pressured to go cashless with everything when I am not confident that my accounts will not be compromised. People need to work! Hire enough staff to serve your customers! Stop trying to get the most profit at the expense of customers and staff! Customers will be happy, your people will be happy, your business will thrive, and perhaps America will be the nation she once was and no longer beholden to foreign nations, especially China. God will bless us once again if and when we return to being just and ethical in the workplace.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, well-designed landscapescansavehomeowners enough energy to make the projectspayforthemselvesinless than eight years. The DOE notes that homeowners’ landscaping strategies should be dictated by the climates in which they live. For example, homeowners who live in hot, arid regions should employ landscapes to shade their homes’ walls, windows and roof, while those who live in cool regions should make sure their landscapes are not blocking the winter sun from reaching their homes’ south-facing windows. TheDOEalsoadvisesthatshading is the most cost-effective way to reduce solar heat gain in a home, noting that well-planned landscapescanreducepreviously unshaded homes’ air conditioning costs by as much as 50 percent. The DOE also notes that, in treeshaded neighborhoods, summer daytime air temperature can be up to six degrees cooler than the air temperature in treeless areas. Homeowners considering adding trees to their landscapes should know that deciduous trees shed their leaves annually, which meanstheywillblocksolarheatin thesummerbutallowsunlightinto thehomeinwinter.That’sidealfor homeowners who live in regions where temperatures climb in summertimebutdropconsiderably in winter. Homeowners who want year-round shade might consider evergreen trees and shrubs.

Make sure you choose the right ladder. for drills and other electronic tools and gadgets that are fun to use. But ample time also must be afforded to the type of ladder you intend to use on a project. Estimates from the West Bend Insurance Company indicate that roughly 90,000 people visit the emergency room due to ladder accidents each year. Never use a broken ladder or an aging ladder that’s uneven. In addition, do not use a ladder that forces you to reach far away. If you’re leaning while using a ladder, the ladder is either too short for your project or positioned too far away from the wall. The National Home Security Alliance advises DIYers to place their ladder one foot from the wall for every four feet it rises above the ground. Test your ladders for their sturdiness prior to beginning work so you aren’t tempted to use a subpar ladder.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse

Puzzle Answers This Week

HOW RISING FOOD DEMAND IS AFFECTING FARMING

Climate change: Climate change is predicted to cause issues to crop yields, especially in portions of the world where the population is growing the fastest. For example, a recent NASA study published in the journal Nature predicts that high greenhouse gas emissions may cause corn output to decline as early as 2030, but wheat output would increase. Farmers may need to roll with the punches and shift operations to cope with the environmental changes.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* For years your dentist has no doubt advised you to be sure to floss. But the benefits extend beyond your teeth. Researchers have discovered that flossing can also help your memory. It prevents gum disease, which prevents stiff blood vessels, which in turn cause memory issues.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SENIORS

Hiking: Hiking provides a great workout and an ideal opportunity to spend time in an idyllic setting. The U.S. National Park Service notes that hiking helps individuals build stronger muscles and bones, improves their sense of balance, has a positive effect on heart health, and can decrease the risk of certain respiratory problems. Hiking is an especially attractive outdoor activity for seniors,as many parks feature trails with varying degrees of difficulty, ensuring there’s a trail for seniors whether they’re seasoned or novice hikers.
