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.

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

DID YOU KNOW?
When tending to their lawns, homeowners are advised to pay attentiontoareasthatmayfeature standing water. According to the World Health Organization, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can breed in great numbers in pools of water. Mosquitoes are known to carry diseases like malaria, West Nile virus and Zika. Furthermore, mosquitoes that bite pets can transmit heartworms, a serious problem if gone it goes undiscovered.Standingwateralso can be a haven for bacteria, mold and parasites that are dangerous to human health. If standing, stagnantwaterisaprobleminyour yard, remediation is necessary. Directing downspouts away from the house can remediate standing water. Changing the grading of soil so that low spots are elevated is another way to reduce instances of standing water. This may be a project that requires the assistance of a drainage professional. In addition, homeowners can remove standing water from empty flower pots, pool covers, bird baths, and more to reduce the likelihood that mosquitoes will appear on their properties.

STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE AN APPRAISER’S VISIT
Clean the house. A dirty home that is full of clutter will not make the best impression on appraisers. Dirty homes may be vulnerable to insect infestations that can lead to structural problems with the home. While a dirty home is not necessarily an indicator of infestations or a reflection of a home’s value, a clean home will create a stronger first impression with the appraiser.

Oakfield graduate, Kevin Beuler, Returns as a Physician Assistant Dedicated to Community Health
BY SUZIE WELLS
In the heart of Oakfield, there’s a figure whose dedication to community health resonates deeply with locals. Meet Kevin Beuler, a Physician Assistant whose journey has returned to Oakfield serving in Family Medicine, reflecting not just a professional career but a profound commitment to his roots and the people he serves.
“Being an Oakfield grad, I am extremely biased,” he says, reminiscing about his alma mater. His journey started with a passion for medicine nurtured in his early teens, when he was interested in “being able to be in a revered occupation in which you can help others to then being in an occupation where you have to be able to absorb and understand so much information about the human body, diseases, medicines, and then be able to puzzle together a patient’s concerns, symptoms, lab results, and come up with an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. It sounds crazy but I was one of those kids that loved school, loved the daily challenge, and continue to love the daily challenge a schedule of patients brings.”
A er graduation, Beuler pursued medicine, becoming a Physician Assistant in 2018 and practicing in a Family Medicine FQHC in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Content with his career choice, and happy with the multitude of lessons he was learning in his urban role, Beuler found himself yearning for the closeknit community he cherished back home in Oakfield.
roughout high school, he was deeply involved in the Drama Club, and he returned to play trumpet in their Pit years throughout college and even during his time in PA. Now that he’s back in town, he looks forward to giving more time to that program, as well as attending his brother Peter’s cross country and track events there.
medicine but actively shaping and improving healthcare delivery for the benefit of all.
Beuler’s also excited to be back in the area in his new role at Oak Orchard Health, where his role extends beyond diagnosing ailments. He collaborates with a diverse team to provide care for patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. His passion for minimizing delays in care and fostering a sense of comfort and dignity in his patients shines through.
Beuler’s career isn’t just about medical expertise; it’s about the connections he forges within the community. He says, “ is community [takes] a lot of pride in their health, which I admire, and [it] truly makes the bond stronger between patient and practitioner. But the community is also tight-knit, [which] gives a sense of treating patients of this community all like extended family, wanting to always do your best for each and every Uncle Phil and Aunty Sally.”
Yet, the road to community wellness isn’t without its challenges. Beuler recognizes the pressing issue of opioid dependence and the lack of resources for effective alternatives. He attempts to battle that challenge by emphasizing patient-
Beyond his profession, Beuler loves spending time with his wife, Brooke, and their two young daughters, and he says parenting provides extra special perspective that benefits his patient education. In his downtime, Beuler loves to read, watch movies, and take in shows at Shea’s. He enjoys keeping up with sports, especially football “to give myself the best chance to win my Fantasy Football leagues,” he says. And whenever they can, Kevin and Brooke enjoy date nights, and he says his favorite involve “racking up points at Dave & Buster’s.”
Kevin Beuler feels back at home, and he looks forward to the future in Western NY.

Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

According to KidsHealth.org, more than one-third of child injuries and deaths happen at home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that most incidents at home occur where there is water, such as in the bathroom or kitchen; heat or flame, like in the kitchen or around the grill; toxic substances, like those found in medicine cabinets or beneath kitchen sinks; and in places where kids can fall, such as on staircases.

TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT LAWYER
Contact your local bar association. According to the ABA®, bar associations in most communities will make referrals according to specific areas of law. This can ensure people without much or any experience hiring lawyers find one with the right experience and practice concentration. Local referral services also may help, and the ABA® notes that many, though not all, have competency requirements for lawyers who wish to be referred. When speaking with a referral service, ask if they have such requirements in place and how frequently they reevaluate lawyers they refer.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Slower Heart Rates Are More Common in Athletes
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a question about a resting heart rate, specifically when it is considered too slow for one’s health. I am a 67-year-old male who, from an early age to the present time, has always been physically active every day. Now retired, I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I work out. The endorphin boosts and benefits to my body are my daily rewards. Recently, I received a fitness watch that tracks my heart rate. My nightly sleep sessions show a range of 39-58 bpm over the past month. During a dental visit a while ago, I was told by the hygienist that she knew of an athlete who died in his sleep, and his heart rate was so slow that it just stopped. Is this possible? -- D.M.
ANSWER: This really wasn’t a great thing for the hygienist to say, as there is very little truth to it. Most people who exercise do have a slower heart rate, and it’s a good sign of a healthy heart. However, some older people can develop heart block when the electrical impulse from the natural pacemaker of the heart fails to pass to the ventricles. This is an occasional cause of sudden cardiac death.
Your heart rate suggests, to me, that it’s more likely the healthy heart rate of an athlete than it is a disease of the electrical conduction system, but a visit with your regular doctor or cardiologist can separate this through a simple electrocardiogram in most cases. Some people just have slow heart rates, but they can be treated with a pacemaker if they’re symptomatic.
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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Men and women often make an effort to lose weight before special events such as weddings or vacations. While many people do so in healthy ways, others take their weight loss efforts to the extreme. For example, many brides-to-be aspire to shed excess weight before their weddings so they can look as slim as possibly in their wedding gowns. The New York Times even reported in 2012 on a bride who spent eight days on a feeding tube to strictly limit calories so she could fit into her wedding dress. Such efforts are dangerous and could put individuals’ long-term health in serious jeopardy. Healthy weight loss for any occasion requires a long lead time, so that individuals can safely shed between one and two pounds per week with a healthy mix of diet and exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Trimming between 500 and 1,000 calories per day from their diets can help individuals lose weight safely.
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).

ARE MEN LESS LIKELY TO PRACTICE GOOD ORAL HYGIENE?
Studies have shown that men are more likely to ignore their oral health than women. Women are found to have better knowledge about oral health and more positive feelings about visiting the dentist. Men, on the other hand, have fewer dental visits, lower opinions about their dental health, poorer flossing habits, and more resulting tooth decay. Women are more likely to receive preventative treatments, while men require more emergency dental visits. Because men receive dental care less often, dental professionals have fewer opportunities to connect with them about oral health, compounding the problem. One theory explaining why men are less likely to seek care suggests that needing to ask for help or care lowers some men’s positive perceptions of themselves.
As part of their healthcare team, we encourage all of our patients to make
the commitment to do what it takes to keep their teeth and gums in the best of shape. Problems with your oral health? Turn to our dental professionals for comprehensive dental care, from an assessment of your existing oral condition, to restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and suggestions for at home dental-care regimens. Whatever dental care you need, you’ll find it at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 6 Batavia City Centre, where all dental problems are dealt with efficiently, effectively, and compassionately. Hours by appointment; please call 585.343.4246.
P.S. Studies show that men are less likely to seek all kinds of medical care than women, not just dental care.

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY IDEAS
Soak up the city lights. Big cities tend to clear out on summer weekends, which can make this an ideal time to visit. City visitors won’t have to contend with the sizable crowds that descend on metropolises in winter, when indoor entertainment is in high demand. That means savvy travelers also may find discounts on live theater and local concerts. It also won’t be as difficult to book reservations at the latest culinary hotspots, particularly for travelers who book early.
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Mazzotta
Bringing an old dog to heel
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A er my aunt passed away, I gladly agreed to take in her dog, “Hunter,” a rather squat, obese Beagle. He’s a happy old dog of about 9 years, but my aunt gave him little to no training other than housetraining. at makes walking him -- something the vet recommended I do twice a day, in addition to a diet -- a chore. Hunter will walk a few steps, then sit down and refuse to budge. When he does feel like walking, he either tugs the leash forward or lags behind. How can I correct this? -- James T., Plano, Texas
DEAR JAMES: Hunter is not used to the new lifestyle yet, and he’s reacting in a predictable way. He’s also out of shape and probably more stressed than you think. e first thing I prescribe is patience. e second thing I’d prescribe is persistence.
You’ll want to gradually lengthen his walks. Each day, always at the same time, put Hunter on his leash and start the walk. As soon as Hunter begins to lag or tug forward, stop walking, adjust the distance so that he’s standing or sitting next to you, and start again, saying, “Heel” as you step forward.
When he sits and won’t budge, encourage him to go a few more steps by giving him a very small treat. en turn around and go home. On your next walk, repeat this encouragement, going just a little farther. See what I’m getting at? Make each walk just a tiny bit farther.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT LOCAL BUSINESSES
Review the business online. Review Trackers reports that more than 81 percent of consumers are likely to visit Google Reviews prior to visiting a business. That’s a testament to the value of online review aggregators. After a positive experience with a local business, consumers can visit Google Reviews or another online review aggregator like Yelp and share the details of their encounter. Chances are strong the review will be read and compel others to patronize the business.

* Oranges are wonderful treats and full of delicious fiber and vitamin C. Save your peels and stash them in a net bag hanging from your rearview mirror for just a day or two. As they dry, they give off the best smell.
* Need to take pills daily? Set a reminder on your cellphone. Most have alarm functions, and it works!

Wegmans angel on March 30
[Local Town] PD Coverage
Thank you so much to the woman who stopped me and blessed me with gift cards at Wegmans. I have been through a rough time lately and this helped me get my medicine and a salad for lunch. You said it was “Just dollar amount” but to me that was more than I needed and then some. Please know I will pay it forward when I’m back on my feet! (Literally and figuratively.)
I understand there is a shortage in workforce. However, [local PD] is a 24/7 agency. At a time when public safety matters the most, [local PD] needs to uphold their 24/7 coverage. If necessary, this means [Chief] and [Sergeant] should be forced to cover any shifts that are lacking coverage regardless of the day, night or holiday since [local PD] is a 24/7 agency.
“BEE” Thoughtful
A man with a mission
Every day along Rt 21 or 5&20 near Canandaigua you will likely see a gray pickup truck stopped with orange cones for safety near it. You will see an individual picking up debris and garbage along the roadside. He is not on the payroll. He is a dedicated volunteer who begins his day early and ends his day late. I live on the same street as Malcolm and see him leave in the morning, come home for lunch and return to his mission until late afternoon. So when you see him along the roadside, give a quick two honks on the horn to let him know how much you appreciate his dedication to keeping things clean on our roadways.
As most of us have heard, pollinators are in a steep decline. As one thing you can do to combat this, many reputable garden centers are selling a variety of Mason Bee houses for your yard. Have you read what bee experts say about these houses? Do your research before installing one. Mason Bees are solitary. These bee houses offer a location where eggs are laid and hatch in the equivalent of a cramped tenement. Experts describe them as an environment where diseases run rampant, and they provide an easy target for predators of bees. It’s shocking that garden centers are promoting this trend. Please, before you add one to your garden, research what entomologists say about these houses.

CREATE AN ENDURING MEMORIAL FOR A LOVED ONE
Create a memorial garden. Speak with an area park ranger to determine if you can donate an engraved sitting bench or construct a tranquil garden space in a loved one’s name.
“The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.....”
~
Edward R. Murrow
In our interpersonal relationships, how often we suddenly wake up to a situation that should have been obvious from the beginning. In some cases, we may not want to face up to an unpleasant fact so we ignore it and pretend to search for other solutions.
For some reason, the more obvious a thing or an idea may be, the easier it avoids detection. The lesson here is that, when we must find an answer, we should check out the obvious first, rather than come to it as a last resort.
Over the years, we have served a great number of families in this community. Most of them came to us on the recommendation of other families who appreciated our thoughtful consideration.

We would like to thank the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office for all their support, the City of Batavia Police Dept., to the Community for the outpouring of love shown to Tom on the Sheriff’s car, the signs placed in windows and the blue lights on porches, to the support shown on his final ride, Gilmartin’s Funeral Home, to TJ and Matt, words are not enough for everything you did for us, making sure that Tom had everything done right for him, Pastor Ryan MacDonald for the funeral service.
To Beverly’s Flower Shop, Russ and his staff for the beautiful flower arrangements, Genesee Community College for the use of your facilities, S&S limousine for the transportation to keep the family all together. To the Red Osier, Batavia Downs, Batavia Original and Alabama Hotel for the wonderful Luncheon after the service, none of this could have been possible without all of you, to everyone who came and paid their respects from all over, thank you.
If we have missed anyone we are sorry but realize your generosity and support did not go unnoticed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. eFamilyof omasASanfratello

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.
The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they needtogetby,theymightthinkit’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.
