PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Keep Your Dog Safe From Tick-Borne Infections

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m afraid to take my 1-year-old Lab, Shiner, on hikes in the woods because he might be bitten by a tick and get ill. What’s your take on the tick situation? -- Brian in Concord, New Hampshire

DEAR BRIAN: Even though ticks carrying diseases like Lyme are a concern, do not let the risk put you o of bringing your dog along on hiking adventures. Yes, ticks are numerous, and you live in a hotspot for tick-borne diseases. But there are precautions that you can take to keep both Shiner and yourself healthy.

A Lyme vaccine is available for dogs, so talk to your vet about getting Shiner this shot. But ticks carry other diseases too. So be sure that Shiner wears a ea-and-tickrepellent collar or takes a ea-andtick (and heartworm) preventative medication.

Keep ticks o of your own skin by treating clothing and gear with permethrin and letting it dry completely before wearing the gear (permethrin should never be applied to your skin). Just before setting out on your hike, spray insect repellent that works on numerous bugs, including ticks and eas, onto your skin.

A er your hike, before getting into the car, check Shiner’s coat for ticks and other bugs. Run your hand along his fur from head to tail to dislodge any critters or debris from the top of his coat. Check under his tail and between the pads of his paws. Shake your gear out and do a tick check on yourself as much as possible.

At home, do a more thorough check of Shiner by running your hands into his coat and visually checking his fur and skin. Remove any embedded ticks using a tick removal tool.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

HOW TO CREATE A ROMANTIC NIGHT AT HOME

Alternate watching films: Both of you probably have all-time favorite movies, but they may not be the same films. Encourage bonding time by queueing up two separate films to watch, yours and your significant other’s. Whether one is a rom-com and the other is an action flick, watch them in succession while cuddling on the sofa.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DAIRY

Heart health benefits: Some people avoid dairy because of perceptions that it is bad for cardiac health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology that looked at 20 studies involving around 25,000 people found no association between the consumption of most dairy products (including whole fat varieties) and cardiovascular disease. The only exception was milk, but the results showed one would have to drink almost a liter of milk a day for a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, the American Heart Association recommends adults choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products whenever possible. Also, a 2018 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found men who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

Children have long been drawn to expressing themselves through art. According to developmental experts, coloring stimulates creativity, contributes to better handwriting, teaches color recognition, and can promote hand-eye coordination. Coloring books can help children learn to recognize boundaries and structure and develop spacial awareness. Adults, too, have recognized the benefits that coloring can bring, which includes stress reduction and improved focus. Crayons have long been a favorite tool for coloring, and over the years certain colors have emerged as fan favorites. Crayola® conducted polls in 1993 and 2000 to find out the most popular colors of crayons in America. Blue was voted the favorite both times. Six other shades of blue, including cerulean, midnight blue, aquamarine, periwinkle, denim and blizzard blue, finished among the top 10. Purple heart, caribbean green and cerise rounded out the top 10.

I like to use my compost for gardening but I have no idea how much to mix with my soil. NoideaonapHlevel!Help!!

Compost is an excellent garden soil amendment to use every gardening season and should be added starting early before planting. It also can be added as a mulch as your plants begin to grow and produce. Compost improves the tilth (workability) of the soil and acts like a slow-release fertilizer for your plants.

4% compost. I like to use about 10% in my gardening, which works out to adding about 1 inch of compost worked into the top 9 inches of soil. Mature, finished compost acts like a buffer to soil pH.Unfinished compost produces amino (organic) acids as the low-temperature bacteria break down the compost. Mature compost becomes more neutral (between 6-8 pH) as mesophile bacteria take over. Most garden plants require a soil pH of between 6 and 7. You can get soil

Any recommendations on getting rid of spinach worms?

The “spinach worms” you have are likely a variety of caterpillar. They can be treated effectively with an organic substance called Bacillus Thuringiensis, often called BT. This is a common product in garden centers. Follow all instructions on the label closely.

CREATIVE WAYS FOR SMALL TOWN RESIDENTS TO GIVE BACK

Giving back to one’s community is a great way for men and women to make use of their talents and foster strong towns and cities. Volunteering opportunities abound in big cities, but small town residents may not have as many options as they look for ways to give back.

Small town residents looking to give back may need to create their own opportunities if the options available to them do not suit their fancies. Contact local schools. Teachers, afterschool caregivers and coaches can always use some helping hands. Contact local schools to determine if there is any way to help out. Prospective volunteers might be able to read to young children, serve as assistant coaches for youngsters’ sports teams or even help tend to playing fields. Small town school budgets tend to be stretched thin, so chances are local educators will welcome citizens looking to pitch in with open arms.

Start a program through your place of employment. Another way for small town residents to give back to their communities is to begin a mentoring or internship program through their places of employment. Once their employers give the go-ahead, men and women can begin working with local high schools and/or colleges to develop programs that encourage youngsters to gain professional experience that can benefit them as they apply to college or graduate school or prepare to begin their own careers. Start a volunteering group. Small town residents without much access to volunteering programs can organize groups through their offices or neighborhoods. Organize groups willing to pitch in with charities such as Habitat for Humanity®. Group leaders can arrange transportation to work sites for members of the group while working as liaisons between their community groups and the organizations they choose to work with.

Work with area hospitals. Similar to school districts, many hospitals would struggle to meet their missions of providing compassionate care if not for the contributions of volunteers. Contact area hospitals to learn about volunteering. Some may need volunteers to read to sick children, while others may need help keeping elderly patients company.

Small town residents may not have a wealth of volunteering opportunities at their disposal. But with a little creativity, such men and women can still give back to their communities.

“If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.”

- Jack Handey

The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and manyhomeownerswhohaveembracedtheDIYmovementhavediscovered talentstheyneverbeforeknewtheyhad.

But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professionalcontractorswhentacklinghomeimprovementprojects.

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER

Remove unnecessary items and furniture from rooms to free up more space to get around. Be sure there are no obstructions in walkways, entryways and near doors. Keep staircases clear at all times.

Everything under 1 roof! 20 years’ experience in quality home improvements & repairs at honest prices, including:

CARE FOR TOOLS PROPERLY

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. 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.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE

Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

HERE’S A TIP!

By JoAnn Derson

* “Before traveling, I write down the numbers, expiration and contact information for any credit cards I plan to bring with me. I keep one copy hidden in my luggage, and another is le with a friend back home. is way, if anything happens to my wallet, I can easily call and cancel cards and arrange for replacements.” -- R.E. in New York

* “When getting ready to entertain, I use sticky notes to organize my serving pieces. For each dish, I make two sticky notes. I label the dishes and set them out on the bu et. When I am satis ed with the arrangement, I remove one sticky note and attach it to the place the dish will remain, and the dish goes to the kitchen, still labeled until it’s lled.” -- W. in Texas

* Lipstick on your linens? Dab with petroleum jelly, then dish soap. en launder as usual. Be sure the stain is removed before you dry the linens.

Extend the life of your vehicle:

Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal.

Properly maintained headlights vastly improve driver safety

Don’t just replace but upgrade your headlight bulbs. Bulbs that have started to dim need to be replaced, but auto enthusiasts or maintenance-savvy drivers know they can upgrade their bulbs when replacing them. Industry experts recommend replacing headlamp bulbs every two years, and replacing them in pairs to make sure the vehicle’s lighting is equally balanced. But rather than sticking with the bulbs provided by the car maker, look for a bulb that makes it easier to see at night and during hazardous conditions. These headlights put more light on the road, helping to make up for poor weather, dimly lit roads, aging headlights, and even the loss of night vision many drivers experience as they age. Capable of providing up to 100 percent more light than the standard halogen bulbs found on the majority of vehicles today, special headlights create a better beam pattern that is dramatically longer than the standard bulbs, vastly improving driver vision and safety.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

People who get COVID-19 vaccine less likely to die from any cause

DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you referred to a U.K. source that stated “all-cause mortality is very significantly reduced in people who have had the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to unvaccinated people.” I wasn’t sure what you meant by all-cause? Does this mean any and all deaths, with or without COVID-19, for any reason, have been very significantly reduced just by getting the COVID-19 shot? Or does it mean that any and all deaths associated with COVID-19 have been reduced in those who have been vaccinated? If it is the first, then fewer people should be dying, people should be living longer, and we should not see a decrease in life expectancy (except for the addition of those dying from COVID-19, which brings the age down). Anyway, if the first is true, then I will definitely continue getting the COVID-19 shot just to live longer, with or without getting COVID-19! -- C.P.

ANSWER: The U.K. study looked at all-cause mortality, which means anyone who dies from any reason. The study found that getting the COVID-19 vaccine reduced the likelihood of dying from COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 causes. One potential problem studies face is assigning cause of death. If a person with a very serious cancer who is expected to pass away within a few months gets COVID-19 and dies, did the cancer kill them, or did COVID-19? If you have to choose just one cause, the answer could be misleading. That’s why the results of the U.K. study (and a Florida study that showed similar results) were so important. People who get the COVID-19 vaccine are less likely to die from any cause.

In the last few years in the U.S., the longstanding trend of improved mortality has reversed, and death rates are going up, partially due to COVID-19.

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are significantly higher than the rates among the general population. USDVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

DENTAL INLAYS AND ONLAYS

Dental inlays and onlays are also called indirect fillings, and both are used to repair a tooth’s chewing surface. An inlay fits into a tooth’s pits andgrooves.Anonlayismoreextensive and is also called a partial crown. It covers one or more of a tooth’s cusps. Your dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay for teeth that are too damaged or decayed for a traditional filling but not advanced enough for a crown. If you have a cavity but not enough tooth structure to support a regular filling, you may receive an inlay or onlay instead. Onlays are routinely used to repair cracked teeth. Inlays and onlays are both used to fix damage caused by teeth grinding.

We will be glad to discuss onlays and inlays and other options available to

keep your smile a beautiful, happy one. At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we believe in an informed patient, and we promise to provide you with information regarding all aspects of your dental care. You can always count on our experienced, honest recommendation for the treatment best suited to your dental needs. Our goals are the same as yours at 6 Batavia City Centre—a healthy mouth and a brilliant smile. Call 585.343.4246 for an appointment. We’ll give you a reason to smile!

P.S. Gold, porcelain, and composite resin are all used to create dental inlays and onlays.

Thank you to the Hemlock Food Pantry

You are all the example of God’s Love & Kindness. Thank you for all you do & your generosity. Grateful Patron

Many thanks!

Many thanks to the cute little lady that paid my bill at the Dollar Store Friday evening the 12th of May. It has been passed on already.

Welcomed by Batavia

I moved to Batavia just about a year and a half ago, but it did not take me long to fall in love with this place. As I lived most of my life in the Northtowns, this area has been such a breath of fresh air.

I have the pleasure of working in customer service, and the vast majority of people I interact with are kind and decent people. The small businesses around here are supported and mostly thriving, the neighborhoods are mostly clean, the parks are many, charming, and also well-kept. All of the people I have personally met in this school district and even municipal system are at worst decent, if not warm and helpful.

Gratitude for all of my wonderful neighbors and those who contribute to the abundance of joy there is to be found here in Batavia. I’m glad to have made it my home.

Small Vent

Although the intent is great, some people don’t understand Memorial Day. It’s to acknowledge and remember those who DIED for our country. Veterans have their own day of recognition. One thing most don’t realize is that Active Duty military are not Veterans. After they’re off active duty, unless dishonorably discharged, they’re Veterans.

No loud muffler law in [local town]

I live in [local town] and have 2 neighbors with loud mufflers. I have called the police 3 times but we have no law about loud mufflers. They come and go at all hours and run their car right under my bedroom window. I have asked them to fix their car but no luck. I’m tired of getting woken up and so is my better half. Had to vent… mufflered out.

Really?

What’s wrong with this: a pickup truck passing cars driving 65 in a 55 zone. The tailgate is down. The bed loaded with multiple rakes, gardening equipment, tree branches and a gas can. Nothing tied down. I would put money down that if anything bad happened after hitting a pot hole or bump, the driver would continue on like nothing happened. Where has intelligence gone?

The Many Benefits of a Community Garden: Magnolia Street Children’s Garden

BY ELIZABETH HENDERSON

When Google Earth came online, Iletha Cli on realized with revulsion that the plastic owers her mother had set out around their house on Magnolia Street in Rochester could be seen from space. So, she purchased $500 worth of real ower plants for her mother. When half of them died, Iletha decided to learn how to grow plants in containers.

Flowers led to a tomato plant, and the rich avor of the rst ripe tomato, unlike any tomato she had ever bought at a store, hooked her on growing vegetables. Soon, every sunny spot along the south side of the house was lled with pots. A support worker for special needs children for the Greece School District, Iletha has dedicated her career to some of the most disadvantaged youngsters in Rochester. When the girl next door expressed amazement and delight when she pulled a carrot from the soil, like “a rabbit coming out of a hat,” Iletha knew she had to create a garden for her and her twin siblings. And that was the start of the Magnolia Street Children’s Garden. Within a year, she had a city permit to garden in the empty lot across the street.

A few blocks away, Drs. Bill Bayer and Mark Brown ran Je erson Family Health, a clinic for the low-income neighborhood. Dr. Bill said, “I became interested in community gardening when I realized that my patients’ health was determined much more by lifestyle choices than whatever ministrations I would try to render.” e two doctors began installing and planting small backyard gardens for their patients. e two feet by two feet garden boxes were big enough for a couple of collard plants, a tomato, a cucumber or okra, and some basil. Late each spring, the doctors drove around to restore and plant the gardens, between 30 and 40 of them, depending on their stamina. Many patients lived in apartments without yards suitable for gardens, so Dr. Bill connected with Iletha. rough her contacts and by recruiting his patients, they expanded the community garden to its current membership of 15 households. Iletha says of Dr. Bill, “Many of the people involved in the garden are his former patients. He is not an expert gardener, but he knows a lot about people in this neighborhood and their health needs.” Since Dr. Bill retired, he learns more about gardening and spends more time at the garden.

On what was once a 40 by 100-foot house lot, they built 20 4’x8’ beds and lled them with soil, invested in a water spigot, a small tool shed, some tools, and a garden sign. ey soon learned that without a peripheral fence, they were growing groundhog feed, so they enclosed the bed area with a wire fence that extends two feet underground.

Each family has a bed to plant as they prefer. Most put in a few tomato plants, collards and other greens, sweet or hot peppers, and a cabbage or lettuce or two. An Indian family added okra, eggplant, beans, and melons from their own seeds. Iletha grows a variety of root crops and green beans that do not t well in her containers. Mr. Junious concentrates on collard greens.

When I joined the garden as a sort of organic advisor, I planted an herb garden, a bed each of garlic and potatoes, and a few rows of leeks for everyone to share. I teach the children how to orient potato slips, garlic, and da odil bulbs, identify strange weeds and pests, and lead the campaign to exterminate poison ivy. Fall clean-up changed from clearing the beds to planting oats as a cover crop or mulching to protect the health of the soil, and collard greens were le to overwinter for early greens in the spring.

Dr. Bill and lletha organize Saturday morning work sessions throughout the season. Linda brings fresh fruit, corn cakes, and other healthy snacks and drinks. Members set out plants, weed, and harvest together.

Children play in the garden and parents send children to pick lastminute ingredients. Iletha says, “ e kids walk back and forth to the corner store and go in the garden and eat in there. ey graze in the garden and everybody can see their kids there. e kids put water in the birdbath. Some families regard the weekly sessions as their outing –their time with their kids in the garden. It has taken on a life of its own.”

For the Urban Gardens Day in September 2022, members brought food to share for a delicious meal, enough for everyone including a mail carrier and a passerby. e garden is part of the citywide network of community gardens supported by the Recreation Department, a member of the Urban Agriculture Working Group, and this year may join the Taproot Collective, which provides gardening classes, seed and other resources, and group liability insurance.

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE

Squeeze in a midday workout. Numerous studies have shown the many benefits to daily exercise, but professionals may not know that exercise can help improve their productivity at the office. A 2005 study from researchers at the then-named Leeds Metropolitan University in England asked 200 workers to answer questions regarding their productivity on days when they exercised at lunchtime and days when they did not exercise. Sixty percent said their job performance, including their ability to meet deadlines and manage their time, improved by a considerable amount on the days when they exercised.

DID YOU KNOW?

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fooladvisethatfinanciallysolvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.

Use your network. The notion that “it’s not what you know, but who you know” has some truth to it. Successful jobseekers continually expand their professional contacts. This is achieved by going to informational interviews, attending trade association meetings and reviewing trade publications. Target people who work at the companies where you see yourself, so you can get the inside track about job openings.

THE RIGHT WAY TO UPDATE A RÉSUMÉ

Embrace keywords. Many employers now use application tracking software to sift through the scores of résumés that are submitted for each opening they post. Keywords make it easy for employers to sort through thousands of résumés. The right keywords will flag your résumé and increase your “relevancy score” in the main HR/recruiting software programs available. Adapt your résumé for each application you submit. Use some of the words listed in the initial job posting and description. In addition, look at similar job postings and incorporate some keywords listed in those ads so that you have all the bases covered.

GET ORGANIZED AND IMPROVE WORKPLACE PRODUCTIVITY

Many working professionals aspire to be as productive as possible. In working environments where employees are forced to wear many hats, efficiency can help workers meet their deadlines and get tasks accomplished.

Organization can help professionals keep track of their work assignments and stay on schedule. Staying organized does not come naturally to everyone, and those finding it difficult to juggle various assignments at once can try the following strategies to stay organized and increase their productivity.

Stop multitasking. While it can seem counterintuitive for people with a lot on their plates to stop multitasking, researchers at the University of Utah found that performance suffers when people try to do more than one thing at a time. While researchers discovered that a small percentage of people they dubbed “supertaskers” were capable of multitasking without adversely affecting their performance, the vast majority of people should avoid trying to tackle more than one task at a time. Professionals can work on different projects throughout the day, but allot time for each project rather than trying to work on several at once.

Schedule each day. Establishing a schedule and making it as accessible as possible is another way to stay organized and increase productivity. Professionals can make use of scheduling apps on their tablets or smartphones, even setting alerts so they do not forget about projects or meetings. Routinely check the schedule throughout the day, marking off tasks as they’re completed.

Cut back on time spent in meetings. A 2014 survey from AtTask conducted by Harris Poll reported that American workers at companies with 1,000 employees or more spend just 45 percent of their workdays tending to their primary job duties. Survey participants reported spending 40 percent of their time in meetings, tending to administrative tasks and dealing with interruptions. In lieu of in-person meetings, professionals can discuss projects via mass emails, which can be a much more efficient means to organizing and discussing a project than sitting in a room several times per week.

Take breaks throughout the workday. Busy professionals may feel as though they don’t have time for breaks during a typical workday. But such breaks can benefit workers in ways they might be unaware. For example, the Association for Psychological Science notes that research has shown that building breaks into a workday helps professionals stay sharp and productive. And when workers take their breaks matters, too. Researchers at Baylor University discovered that mid-morning breaks were more beneficial than late afternoon breaks.

Staying organized and increasing productivity at work go hand in hand. Professionals tasked with juggling multiple responsibilities can employ various strategies to be better organized and get more done in less time.
