Anyone with diabetes can develop diabetic eye disease, though some groups are more affected than others. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Hispanics/Latinos, Pacific Islanders, and older adults are at an elevated risk of diabetes-related vision loss or blindness. It’s also important that pregnant women with diabetes recognize the risk of eye problems. The NIDDK reports that women with diabetes can develop eye problems very quickly during pregnancy. Women who have already been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, the most commonly diagnosed diabetic eye disease, may have their condition worsen during pregnancy. The link between diabetic eye disease and pregnancy has to do with the changes a woman’s body undergoes when she is with child. The NIDDK notes that changes the body undergoes to support a growing baby can put stress on the blood vessels in the eyes. Damaged blood vessels can harm the retina, thereby increasing a woman’s risk for diabetic retinopathy. Individuals with diabetes who are at a heightened risk for diabetic eye disease, including pregnant women, can speak to their physicians about what they can do to protect their vision in the short- and long-term.

(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity: Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.
Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.
Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a
program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.

Hiring a landscape architect may be a smart move for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of their properties. “The Operational Outlook Handbook” defines a landscape architect as “a person who designs parks, outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, private homes, and other open areas.” Landscape architects typically must be licensed and many hold degrees in landscape architecture from accredited schools. Architects who work on residential spaces often work with homeowners to design gardens, plantings, stormwater management, and pools. Landscape architects design spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs also are about functionality and meeting the needs of the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after considering what the homeowner wants to experience and how homeowners want to use a given space. Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other landscaping professionals to produce the final results.
Many an amateur landscaper has encountered grubs while tending to their lawns, but even the most attentive green thumber may have a lawn infested with grubs and not know it. According to the pest and weed experts at Roundup® , grubs often go unnoticed until late summer, when they’ve already done substantial damage to a lawn. Oddly enough, one of the telltales signs of a grub infestation is not the grubs themselves but the animals looking to dine on them. Fully grown grubs make for hearty meals, so homeowners who notice raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and/or birds digging up their lawns may have a grub infestation. That’s because these unwanted guests like to dine on mature grubs who have spent summer feasting on organic matterinthesoil.Anothersignofa possible grub infestation is a lawn that feels spongy when stepped on. Patches of dead grass that peel back easily are a sign that grubs have eaten the roots that keep healthy grass in place.
HARDSCAPE AND HOW TO USE IT
Choose a theme. The right style allows hardscaping and softscaping materials to work together. For example, homeowners may want to give theiryardsaneasternfeel,completewithakoipondanddecorativebridge or trellis. A formal English garden, however, may include manicured paths with stepping stones and ornate topiaries. Mixing too many styles together can take away from the overall appeal.
The pros suggest looking at the overall plan of the design, even if all of the work can’t be completed at once. This way the eventual finished project wil be cohesive.
MASONRY & BASEMENT
TIPS FOR NEGOTIATING WITH CONTRACTORS
Do your homework. Getting the best price typically require shopping around and not settling on the first bid.Experts recommend getting at least three estimates on the same job - and be sure to let each contractor know that you are soliciting multiple bids. This alone may entice a specific contractor to give you his or her best offer up front. Avoid simply choosing the lowest bid. Look at quality of work, reputation and reviews. If you like a costly contractor more than another, see if that contractor is willing to match a lower bid to win the job.

Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy and which toavoid.Nutritionisnotalwaysforemostonthemindsofcollegefreshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

Honeybees flitting from flower to flower is one of the first signs that warm weather has arrived. Honeybees are a welcome presenceinthegarden,pollenating plants and contributing to local honeysupplies. Despite their importance in the ecosystem, honeybees are in grave danger. In 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama created a task force comprised of various agencies to address the growing issue of rapidly diminishing honeybees and other pollinating insects. This initiative was a response to reports from American beekeepers indicating hivedeathshavebeenontherise, gravely affecting the honeybee population. Honeybees pollinate many fruit trees, nut plants and vegetables, playing a crucial role for many nations’ food industries. In addition to government involvement and honeybee conservation methods designed by environmental agencies, there are many things that regular citizens and homeowners can do toprotecthoneybeesthissummer.
Enchanting Notes:
Jaclyn Breeze Brings Stories to Life with Her Flute
BY LORI BRUTON
Traveling to the quiet corners of libraries across Rochester, the anticipation is palpable. Wide-eyed children gather on colorful rugs, their attention riveted on a young woman with a twinkle in her eye and a flute cradled lovingly in her hands. Jaclyn Breeze is a gi ed composer and flutist whose passion for music and storytelling has enchanted audiences far and wide.
Breeze has always had a deep connection to music. Known for unique compositions that bridge the gap between modern composition and classical jazz harmony, Breeze’s works have been described as “inspiring, accessible, and distinctly her own,” a testament to her ability to cra pieces that resonate with a wide range of listeners. Her compositions have been performed by groups across North America, Europe, and Asia, with notable performances by the Balance Campaign and the Society for New Music, among others.
Jaclyn’s musical journey is rich and varied. She holds a Master of Music in Composition from Syracuse University and a Bachelor of Science in Flute Performance from Roberts Wesleyan University. As a flutist, she is passionate about commissioning new pieces and performing the works of living composers. To date, she has commissioned nine new works and performed thirteen world premieres, showcasing the extensive capabilities of the flute and fostering conversations with her audiences. She currently serves as pianist and choir director of Holley Presbyterian Church.
Currently, Jaclyn’s focus is on a younger crowd. Inspired by the success of her last program, “Imitations,” where she explored the flute’sabilitytomimicsounds such as butterflies and trains, Jaclynhascreatedachildren’s program, a delightful blend of storytelling and music designed to introduce young audiences to the magic of the flute in an engaging and fun way.
With the help of her friendsandfellowcomposers
Paul Berlinsky and Dustin Dunn, Jaclyn cra ed a series of pieces that follow three beloved fairytales: “ e Pied Piper,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Each story is followed by a solo flute piece, bringing the tales to life in a way that words alone cannot.
Next, Jaclyn tells the story of “Little Red Riding Hood” with a rendition that’s lively and filled with suspense, the children leaning in, eyes wide with anticipation. Jaclyn’s own composition follows, capturing the whimsy and danger of the tale, and demonstrating the flute’s ability to convey a wide range of emotions and scenes.
Finally, Jaclyn recounts the adventure of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” e children giggle at Jack’s antics and gasp at the giant’s roar. Dustin Dunn’s piece for this story is playful and bold, reflecting Jack’s courage and cleverness as he climbs the beanstalk and outwits the giant.
She explains, “I wanted to create a program that would be familyoriented, where children could hear stories they love and listen to music that brings those stories to life. It’s a fun way to introduce them to the flute.”
As the children gather around, Jaclyn begins with “ e Pied Piper,” a tale of mystery and magic. Her flute mimics the enchanting melodies that lured the children of Hamelin, captivating the young audience. e piece, composed by Paul Berlinsky, showcases techniques that go beyond the flute’s traditional sounds, leaving the children in awe.
As the final notes of her flute dri away, Jaclyn is met with a chorus of claps and cheers. e children’s faces are lit with wonder and excitement, and many rush up to her with questions and comments. She greets them with a warm, welcoming smile, ready to foster the next generation of music lovers.
Jaclyn’s goal for this program is clear-- introducing children to the flute in a way that is both fun and educational. She says, “I want them to see all the cool things a flute can do and to leave feeling like they’ve learned something.” Her enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s evident that she loves engaging with her audience, answering questions, and sharing her passion for music.
Jaclyn Breeze is not just a performer; she is a storyteller, an educator, and an inspiration. rough innovative programs and engaging performances, she makes a lasting impact on her community, one note at a time.
Check out Rush Library (8/15 at 6:30pm) or Irondequoit Library (8/23 at 10:30am) for Jaclyn Breeze’s final programs. Or visit www.jaclynbreeze.com for more information on her upcoming events.

MY
DID YOU KNOW?
A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year,but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past,found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

HOW TO KEEP OUTDOOR LIVING AREAS SAFE
Consider fencing. Fencing can make an outdoor living space more private and safe. Local laws may mandate that pools be enclosed with fencing, but even living spaces without pools can be made safer with the installation of a fence. Firepits are wildly popular, as more than 35 percent of homeowners who responded to the ICFA survey acknowledged their intention to purchase new firepits in 2021.Adding fencing around areas with firepits establishes boundaries, which is a must for homeowners with small children. Fencing also makes it harder for local wildlife to gain access to a property, which can decrease residents’ risk for tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
Each mumbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
BIG REASONS to Shop Small
Not just on Small Business Saturday, but every day that you can. Need milk, eggs, bread, or beer? Go to the local corner store instead –Say “hey” and get to know the owner who’s paying taxes to keep your neighborhood in tip-top shape.
Get vocal on social

Botox Injections Used to Treat Overactive Bladder
DEAR DR. ROACH: In two weeks, I am supposed to get Botox injections for my overactive bladder (OAB) and my frequent need to urinate at nighttime. Are these injections safe? Are there any bad side effects? How long do they work? -- D.J.
ANSWER: The initial treatment for OAB symptoms usually consists of lifestyle changes (i.e., quitting smoking and avoiding medications that worsen symptoms at night), pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bladder training. If these are ineffective, medication is often used. If medications don’t work or cannot be tolerated, additional treatments are considered, such as Botox.
The underlying problem with an OAB are uncontrolled bladder spasms. Botox is a powerful suppressor of muscle activity. If just the right amount is used, the excess muscle spasms are reduced, and the person gets good results. However, if too much is used, the person may not be able to urinate spontaneously at all, so your urologist will be giving you instructions on how to self-catheterize, in case you are unable to void your bladder after the injection. If you note that the leakage has worsened a week or so after the procedure, this is a big clue that the bladder is not functioning after the injection. This can last for months, but typically no more than three months. Fortunately, this complication happens uncommonly, in about 2%-7% of people. Other complications include infections and bleeding, but these are not common. Antibiotics are given to reduce the risk of infection. Very rarely, muscles outside of the bladder are affected, including generalized weakness and eye muscle weakness.
When it works well, most people start noticing benefit in a week or so, and relief typically lasts 9-12 months before another injection is given.

Safeguard yourself from summertime ailments and accidents
Dehydration: The body needs extra water on hot days, especially when spending ample time outdoors. Dehydration can cause dizziness and dry mouth and may make you feel faint. Always drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which can contribute to dehydration when consumed in excess.
CONSIDERING IMPLANT-SUPPORTED OVERDENTURES?
Dental implants and dentures are two common solutions for restoring lost teeth and chewing surfaces. Implantsupported overdentures offer a third option by using elements of both to replace several teeth at once. Traditional dentures rest on top of your gums, while implant-supported dentures use implants to attach directly to the jawbone. Dental implants are threaded anchors embedded in your jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. When dentures attach to these anchors, they provide additional stability and support. Implant-supported dentures can be fixed or removable. The latter allows you to remove the dentures for cleaning as needed at home. Fixed dentures (sometimes called hybrid dentures) can’t be removed at home but can be removed by your dentist if needed.
If one or more of your teeth have been lost to damage or decay, prompt
attention with various forms of dentures, implants, crowns and bridges, or other methods of repair will prevent additional, perhaps bigger and more painful problems later on. Visit your dentist on a regular basis and practice good home oral hygiene. It will pay off in the long run. If you don’t have a family dentist at this time, we invite you to BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 6 Batavia City Centre. We have convenient office hours by appointment. Call 585.343.4246 - we’ll give you a reason to smile!
P.S. Implant-supported overdentures are best for groups of missing teeth, but you must have enough bone in your jaw to support the dental implants.

STATISTICS ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the World Health Organization, tobacco kills up to half its users, annually killing roughly six million people each year. The WHO notes that more thanfivemillionofthosedeathsare the result of direct tobacco use, while more than 600,000 deaths can be attributed to non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. While many in the United States may understand the threat that smoking poses to their overall health, the WHO notes that studies indicate knowledge about the specifichealthrisksoftobaccouse is not widespread. A 2009 survey ofsmokersinChinafoundthatless than 40 percent of smokers knew that smoking tobacco causes coronary heart disease, while only 27 percent were aware of the link between smoking and stroke. It’s also important that smokers recognize that cigarettes once characterized as “light” or “low tar” are not healthier than more traditional cigarettes. While the US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of such terms in cigarette sales within the United States, smokers traveling or living overseas should be mindful that other countries may not operate under such restrictions. In addition, the American Cancer Society notes that there is no proof that cigarettes sold as “all natural” and marketed as having no chemicals or additives are any safer than traditional cigarettes and that the best way for men, women and children to avoid the dangers of tobacco is to never smoke or to quit immediately.

Major & Minor Repairs
Keeping vehicles looking pristine requires care and diligent cleaning. So many day-to-day activities and environmental materials have the potential to damage the finish on cars and trucks. While winter weather and chemicals used to keep roadways passable are often blamed for affecting the appearance of cars and trucks, winter is not the only time of year when substances can cause damage to vehicles.
Spring and summer are prime seasons for sap, birds and insects. These times of year tend to see an uptick in road work as well, and such projects can contribute to damage caused by loose asphalt, gravel and tar. Addressing problems resulting from tree sap, insect and bird droppings and tar may not be something to look forward to, but it is necessary to keep cars looking pristine.
Pullover.Iftheglareisespeciallybad,PlymouthRockAssurancesuggests playing it safe and pulling over until the sun rises or sets. You also may want to change your driving time to avoid the glare.

A Winning Summer Reading Program
Thanks to the Rush Public Library staff for a wonderful summer reading program. Readers had lots of books to choose from even with the kids’ book section being closed for repairs. The staff is so enthusiastic and friendly—they are special people! Thanks!
A Huge THANK YOU
In these times of rising food prices, it is so wonderful to see all the items that the Avon community donates to the Avon Food Pantry. They give not only non-perishable foods but toiletries, laundry soaps and overages from their garden. It is heart warming to see all the items coming in to help people in need.
A big THANK YOU to all.
Went to CHURCH rummage sale just a few minutes ago. It started at 8. I was the last person in line. Myself and the lady in front of me had to take our time going down two flights of stairs. Over 10 people found out the books were upstairs and made their way past us, almost knocking into us. Then a lady blocked the jewelry spot and no one was able to look. I was pushed again, so I paid for my 2 items and said “Sorry, I’m getting pushed around too much to look further.” The next person in line was a collector. The lady who was taking the money said “I marked these and they weren’t $2.00 each.” He said “it’s what’s marked,” and she said “Ok. Why?” It was a CHURCH trying to raise some money. How do you live with yourself? The cashier even said that wasn’t the price, he didn’t care. I left but paid what the price was. How do you cheat a church?
Balloon Releases Should Be Illegal
I think balloon releases should be illegal. Look it up: the harmful effects of balloon releases. Also you can look up ecofriendly alternatives to balloon releases. Remember, birds, fish, turtles, pets or any animal in the world can suffer due to balloon releases.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.
When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.
Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Scout local garage sales: Garage sales are one way to bargain hunt and benefit the environment at the same time. Who knows what treasures you may be able to find at nearby garage sales? When shopping, set a spending limit and look for certain items you need, such as a bicycle or furniture. You may be surprised to find a quality item that costs much less than a brand new store-bought product.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* Repair enlarged screw holes with a wooden golf tee. Use a hack saw to saw it flush, sand and finish!
* Punch holes in paint can rims with a nail so the paint that gets sloshed on the rim will drain back into the can. To seal the can, wipe the rim with a damp cloth, and rub it with a little petroleum jelly and cover with a piece of plastic wrap and tap the lid back into place.
* While boating or fishing, tape small blocks of Styrofoam to your eyeglass arms so they will float if they go overboard. -- R.D. in Florida

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I recently visited an older relative who owns two dogs. Here in the Northeast, air conditioning isn’t common in older houses, and it’s been fairly hot for the past several weeks. When I went in, I saw both her dogs were lying down and panting because it was so warm inside. ere was no water for them, so I filled up their bowls and added a couple of ice cubes to each one. ey both drank nearly all the water. Please remind your readers that heat is dangerous for pets of all kinds, and even if they’re at home and indoors, they’re at risk. Sign me -- Concerned Cousin in Manchester, New Hampshire
DEAR CONCERNED: ank you. You just reminded them, and you’re absolutely right. Water needs to be available to pets at all times, indoors or out.
Heat injuries are no joke. ey can permanently injure or kill pets (and people). While much attention has been given to not keeping pets inside cars during the warm months, there are more danger areas to be aware of.
- If your dog is out in the yard, make sure they have a shady area to rest with plenty of fresh, cold water. Monitor them frequently: every 10 to 15 minutes.
- Homes without air conditioning can get very hot and stuffy, endangering pets of all types. Maintain airflow at all times with a fan and open windows, and always have water available.
When a pet shows signs of heat stress -- panting, lying down, whining or mewing -- get them to a cooler room immediately. If they don’t improve, contact the veterinarian.

DID YOU KNOW?
Women spend considerably more time each day than men engaging in various household activities. According to the 2019 “American Time Use Survey” from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, women spend an average of 2.16 hours each day on household activities, while men spend an average of 1.39 hours on such pursuits. The survey identifies household activities as housework such as interior cleaning and laundry, but also other activities such as managing the household’s finances and preparing food. Women also spend roughly twice as much time as men caring for and helping household members. Such figures may reflect gender roles that date back several decades if not longer, even though family situations have long since changed as more and more women have entered and remained in the workforce. For instance, the BLS survey found that, in 2019, men spent an average of 7.96 hours per day working, while women spent 7.15 hours per day working. Such figures support the notion that many households can share household activities more equitably between spouses.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up.If it’s a mental break you need,get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.
