Every April, God rewrites the Book of Genesis. ~ Author Unknown

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.

Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

“When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.” -- Harley Davidson

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 drainageprofessional.Inaddition, 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.

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

Diabetics Receive Great Results From a Plant-Based Diet

DEAR DR. ROACH: Your recent column about treating diabetes left me wondering. Diabetes, as I understand it, is usually a result of too much sugar being consumed. But consuming carbohydrates is not that different because they are quickly converted to sugar through the human chemical processes. So, why are you promoting a plant-based diet that is high in carbohydrates?

Consuming protein, which is easily obtained by eating meat, seems to be the answer to reducing the consumption of simple and complex carbohydrates that are quickly converted to sugar in our body. I’ve switched to a high-protein diet (both plant and animal protein), and my blood sugar has been very well-controlled for a couple of years. -- F.B.

ANSWER: Diabetes is not a result of consuming too much sugar. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the cells that make insulin are destroyed by the body. Type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance and a relative inability to secrete insulin in response to a sugar load. In a person with Type 2 diabetes, consuming too much sugar in a short time overloads the body’s ability to respond, so their blood sugar goes up. It is persistent high blood sugar that is responsible for most of the damage to the kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and nerves.

I am careful about what I mean by a plant-based diet. While it’s true that a diet consisting entirely of maple syrup and orange juice would be extremely bad for a person with diabetes because of the concerns about blood sugar that you raised, a plant-based diet that is mostly vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fatty fish and nuts/seeds with moderate amounts of whole fruits does not raise blood sugar more than a standard Western diet.

The high fiber content of the legumes, whole grains and vegetables prevents rapid absorption, and the protein and healthy fat in nuts and fatty fish likewise slow stomachemptying. Finally, there is good evidence that people with diabetes have excellent results with this kind of diet.

You are right that protein is important for a person with diabetes, but many high-protein diets based on meat also have high amounts of saturated fat, which increase the risk for heart blockages. In addition, saturated fat is a major cause of disease and death in people with diabetes. However, it is possible to have a healthy, high-protein diet with care.

***

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.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF DEPRESSION

There are different types of depression. A person may have a single bout of major depression or recurring episodes. Depression that lasts two or more years is called persistent depressive disorder. A less common type of depression is called manic-depressive illness. This involves cycles of depression that alternate with extreme highs, or manias.

PERIAPICAL TOOTH ABCESS TREATMENT

A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. A periodontal abscess occurs in the gums, and a periapical abscess occurs at the tip of the tooth’s root. A periapical abscess is usually caused by a severe dental cavity, crack, chip, or injury that has gone untreated. A deep opening in the tooth allows bacteria to travel through the tooth’s pulp and down to the tip of the root where an abscess forms. An abscess can be quite painful and must be drained to treat the infection. Treating a suspected abscess early on can help avoid a root canal or tooth extraction. Failing to treat an abscessed tooth can lead to a life-threatening infection.

A tooth abscess is the body’s way of announcing that something is wrong and needs attention.

Ignoring the pain means you also ignore the underlying problem, and treatment becomes a more serious undertaking. Be smart! For excellence in dental care from a caring staff committed to your comfort, wellbeing, and sunny smile, call BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL for an appointment AT 585.343.4246. Emergencies are also welcome at our full-service, state-of-the-art dental office located at 6 Batavia City Centre.

P.S. If a tooth abscess ruptures, you may experience a sudden bad taste of salty, foul-smelling liquid inside your mouth.

Celebrating ALL MOMS

The Crafter

MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION IDEAS

Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craft-themed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun afternoon and produce mementos that Mom will cherish for years to come. Dads and kids can plan the project in advance without Mom’s knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for Mom and giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served.

SUNDAY, MAY 12TH 2024

Eating Out on Mother’s Day

Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary.

Mother is a name held sacred

Unknown

By most mortals of the earth; It means great love and sacrifice From the very day of birth, A love that’s so full of beauty, So tender, so very true!

Something, seemingly, from Heaven That has come to me and you. There’s no love so understanding And so faithful to the end

As a Mother’s love—God bless her!— That to us our Lord did send.

~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, “Mother” (1940s) A mom’s hug lasts long after she

TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT LAWYER

Recognize what you need. Lawyers specialize in many different areas of the law, so finding the right lawyer is not a one-size-fits-all venture. Someone who needs help with estate planning will be looking for a different lawyer than someone seeking a personal injury specialist. Individuals are urged to identify which services they need and then narrow their search to include only those lawyers who specialize in providing them.

Renee Hungerford: A Beacon of Change in Community Empowerment

In the heart of Genesee County, there resides a force of change, a catalyst for community empowerment. Renee Hungerford, Executive Director/CEO/CIO of Community Action of Orleans and Genesee since 2020, embodies this transformative spirit. With a background in data analytics and a passion for healthcare, Renee has brought a unique blend of expertise to her role, redefining the agency’s mission and impact.

Renee’s journey to Community Action is a testament to her dedication to making a difference. Born and raised in Buffalo, Renee moved to Orleans County in the 90s, raising daughters Cassandra, Tiffany, and Cheyenna-Rain with her husband Mark. Now residing in Waterport with their two dogs, Renee says she loves Lake Ontario. “ ere’s no place I would rather be,” she says. She plays saxophone in the Batavia Concert Band, playing free concerts throughout the summer at Centennial Park. She loves seeing the crowd come out to enjoy the music and she loves playing with the talented musicians. Professionally, she always emphasizes being “part of the solution,” and she volunteers for Lyndonville’s Lion’s Club, serves on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the New York State Community Action Association (NYSCAA) and the Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS).

A er three decades in the banking industry, when she was asked to relocate, Renee opted instead to pivot her career to healthcare, where she could use her skills and expertise in data analytics toward a “perfect blend of public health, epidemiology, and data analytics.” Earning a Master’s Degree in Health Informatics, she was determined to help fix the broken healthcare system. She says she developed “a real understanding of how important it is to address the social determinants of health like safe housing, food insecurity, and health literacy, to improve health outcomes” in her first position at Oak Orchard Health. As the CEO position at CommunityActiondrewherin,shewasexcitedtohelpimpact people’s health outcomes even more in the new position. Since assuming her role in October 2020, Renee spearheaded initiatives to address root causes of poverty and improve health outcomes in the community.

Here’s A Tip

“I like the smaller size of kids’ meals at the drive-thru. I save the toys in a box, then I drop them off with a teacher friend to use as rewards in her classroom.” -- via email

“I found a bunch of guttering at a garage sale super cheap, and was inspired to bring it INSIDE my house. I purchased end pieces at my local hardware store and cut the gutters to fit inside my closet. ey line the wall all the way up in horizontal rows. I use them to keep shoes, purses, even small baskets of accessories. It’s wonderful. -- T. in Tennessee

Thank you

Library Etiquette

While shopping at the Geneseo Dollar Store, I had to go back out to the car because I had forgotten my money. A woman inside paid for my laundry detergent when I got back. I want to thank her. Her kindness is appreciated. I will pay it forward.

A Sincere Heartfelt Thank You

My pregnant granddaughter was visiting April 28th from Michigan. She had a problem with a front tire and the tire shop was hesitant about only doing 1 tire on a four wheel drive. My granddaughter was not able to afford 2 tires and a front end alignment. A female customer graciously paid for both tires and the alignment. This lady will never know how very much her generous gift was appreciated. May God bless you. Thank you so much.

Please teach your children how to act in a library! School age children are coming in, talking loudly, watching/listening to rude videos/music on high, leaving trash and being very disruptive! The library is a public space for all, not a playground or circus.

Sidewalk Falls

I moved from the city to this lovely small village. I am handicapped and need a walker to get around. Several times I have tripped over uneven slabs of pavement. I took a tumble twice this past Winter. Complete slabs are crushed. Who is responsible for the sidewalk?

EXPLORE HOSPICE OPTIONS FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE

Hospice care often begins when the individual receiving care and his or her family members feel the end of life may be near. According to Relias, a healthcare advisory organization, most patients enter hospice during the last six months of life. Care providers are interdisciplinary. Doctors, nurses, social service providers, bereavement therapists, dietitians, spiritual counselors, and physical or occupational therapists may be included in hospice treatment.

PAW’S CORNER

Pet Allergies Blossom in Spring

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 7-year-old cat, “Sunbeam,” has a tough time in the spring when the pollen starts to fly. He sneezes frequently, his eyes water and he scratches hot spots on his skin. I’ve tried many things to reduce the allergens in the home: I vacuum every other day, run an air purifier near where he sleeps and I brush his coat daily. TITLE: None of that seems to help. What else can I try? -- Harry in Pittsburgh

DEAR HARRY: You’re doing your best to reduce airborne allergens, and that’s great. However, because it doesn’t seem to be helping, it’s time to enlist the help of your cat’s veterinarian.

e vet can suggest some other ways to reduce allergens in the home, and will consider that Sunbeam is reacting to more than one issue -- not just pollen, but indoor dust or even the food he’s eating. ey will also check for any secondary issues that may be contributing to Sunbeam’s discomfort, like an ear infection or yeast infection.

Short-term treatment with a prescription medication, like a steroid or an antihistamine, may be necessary during the worst part of the season. ese will help reduce the intense itching and eye irritation, and should help clear up hot spots on his skin.

At home, try adding fish oil and probiotics to your cat’s food -- these supplements can help with itchy, flaky skin conditions. (I give my cat a teaspoon of plain yogurt daily to balance his gut bacteria.) An occasional bath, twice a month or so, using a pet shampoo that contains oatmeal will soothe his skin and wash away any lingering allergens on his coat.

* On May 11, 1934, a massive dust storm sends millions of tons of topsoil flying across the parched Great Plains to the East Coast and as far away as ships 300 miles offshore. Farmers had pushed their fields to the limit, plowing under more and more grassland.

* On May 12, 1975, the American freighter Mayaguez is captured by communist government forces gunboats in Cambodia. Two days later President Ford ordered the bombing of the Cambodian port where the gunboats had come from. Forty-one Americans died, many in an accidental explosion during the attack.

* On May 13, 1985, in Philadelphia, police begin evacuating people from their homes in order to prepare for an operation against MOVE, a radical cult group. MOVE had begun assembling a large arsenal and building bunkers in their row house. The government gave $1.5 million to three survivors of the raid.
