HOW TO CREATE A ROMANTIC NIGHT AT HOME

Hide romantic notes: Engage in a romantic scavenger hunt by hiding notes that express thoughtful sentiments and give your partner a list of clues to guide the hunt. Start with a clue such as “Where did we go on our first date?” If it was an Italian restaurant, you can attach the next clue to a bunch of basil in the refrigerator, and so on.

On September 15, 2003, author and illustrator of children’s books, Peter H. Reynolds released his book “The Dot.” In the story, Vashti felt like she couldn’t draw — but her art teacher wouldn’t accept that. “Just make a mark, and see where it takes you,” the teacher said to Vashti. So, she marked her parchment paper with a small dot. The next day, Vashti was surprised to find her paper with the dot on the classroom wall.

Vashti was so proud of her work that she started creating drawings with different kinds of dots.

International Dot Day, September 15, is celebrated by adults and children for boosting courage so that their creative potential is released. It is a great day to connect and collaborate, and also to celebrate self-expression.

Q&A Master Gardeners with the

from Cornell Cooperative Extension,

I have what looks like mold on the soil of a Christmas Cactus, with no indications on the leaves or stems.HowshouldItreatit?

Assuming it is mold or fungus on the soil of the Christmas cactus, that usually indicates it is being watered too much so the soil remains moist, which allows mold to grow. It would help to see the mold to be sure. Contact your

local Cooperative Extension for analysis. An alternate possibility is that the area where the plant is located has high humidity which could also encourage a fungus or mold.

DID YOU KNOW? As more people work remotely, electricians and safety advocates are warning that various missteps may be putting people at unnecessary risk of fire and other unsafe conditions. Electrical equipment is necessary to run home offices just like it is traditional offices. Some people may find they have a shortage of electrical outlets to power their devices, and as a result they may turn to extension cords or power strips. While that may seem like an easy fix, it is easy to inadvertently overload outlets and circuits by connecting more than one power strip or extension cord together in a practice known as “daisy chaining.”

According to the U.S. Office of Compliance, using a daisy chain in the workplace violates the National Electrical Code as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s rules. While it may not break code at home, overloading any outlets increases risk for fire. The National Fire Protection Association indicates that more than 45,000 residential fires are started each year due to electrical failure and malfunction. Overload causes products to overheat, and that can spark fires in the power cords themselves or inside the wall where electrical lines are hidden.

Rapone

While you’re freshening up the house, it’s the perfect time to purge unwanted and unused items, but remember that items in good condition can actually do good for those in need. By donating clothing, electronics, furniture, household goods and vehicles to be sold in The Salvation Army Family and Thrift Stores, you can help transform lives in your local community. A good rule of thumb: if you haven’t used it in the last year and it doesn’t have special sentimental value, it’s probably time to let it go.

PROBLEMS THAT CAN LEAD TO LAWN

Lack of sunlight: All plants need the proper ratio of sunlight to grow. Too much sunlight and plant blades can scorch. Too little sunlight and grass may turn brown and die. Although there are shade-tolerant varieties of grass, homeowners also can explore alternative landscapes. Work in a garden bed or create a design that utilizes gravel or mulch. Avoid aggressively pruning back trees to give the lawn more sunlight in that area, as this may just damage the trees.

CONSERVE WATER WHEN TEMPERATURES RISE

Spring and summer are synonymous with increased hours of sunlight, warm temperatures and, oftentimes, an increased reliance on water to feed recreational pursuits and lawn and garden needs.

The Water Information Program states that 3.9 trillion gallons of water are consumed in the United States each month and the average person uses 176 gallons of water per day. Water conservation may be essential when the risk for weather-related drought looms. Practicing year-round conservation efforts can help ensure smart usage of local watersheds, lakes and reservoirs and help maintain these water sources for years to come. It also helps the average person reduce his or her carbon footprint while saving people a little money along the way.

PLUMBING

Trees may require pruning for a variety reasons. Storms may have damaged branches, necessitating a pruning. In other instances, trees may have outgrown their yards, overpowering the landscape.

Autumn and winter, when trees largely go dormant and fallen leaves make it easier to see the branches beneath, may be prime times to prune. Pruning during the dormant period also minimizes sap loss and stress to the tree, and can help cut down on the growth of fungi. In addition, insects are less likely to be problematic during the colder months of the year.

Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.

How long do rabbits live?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a pet rabbit, Brownie, who is nearly 10 years old! He’s a Holland Lop, I think. He doesn’t do much at this age but sort of half-heartedly flop around his cage and the porch, then he settles onto the raised shelf in his cage and nibbles on carrots. He seems healthy, just slow. How much longer does he have le ? Do you think he’s lonely? --

Vicky R., Macon, Georgia

DEAR VICKY: First of all, wow! Ten years is quite a lifespan for a Holland Lop. It’s a testament to how well you care for him.

While the average lifespan of this rabbit breed is six to eight years, I have heard of H-Lops reaching 10, 12 or even 16 years of age! Care and comfort are really important for rabbits at any age. ey need a secure hutch, stable temperatures in summer and winter, fresh water always available, and good nutrition. ey also need things to gnaw on so their front teeth don’t grow too long, as well as plenty of fresh vegetables.

Introducing a new rabbit to the mix can be risky. ey might not take to each other, and fighting with another rabbit can cause stress, which can be deadly.

It sounds like Brownie is doing really well for his age. I recommend checking in with his vet if you notice any changes in his behavior or ability to get around. It sounds like you’re a little concerned that he isn’t moving around as much. Contacting the vet within 48 hours is a good rule for any changes in behavior, diet or activity for rabbits and other small pets.

Whoever just hosted is exempt if they want to be. e rest of those who’d like to host a holiday event put their names in a pot, and we pick out names. e events are the usuals, like Christmas and anksgiving, but also a cookie-making party and the children’s party.

LED road flares: Traditional road flares tend to burn out rather quickly, with some lasting as little as 15 minutes. That can be a problem for travelers who experience car trouble and end up stranded far away from auto body shops. Some flameless LED road flares can last for hours on end off of a single charge, providing drivers with some peace of mind should they be stranded and forced to wait awhile before a tow truck or mechanic arrives.

From minor dents to major body repairs, we’ll get your car back in shape.

Note Left on My Car

To whoever left a note on my car under the windshield wiper, you have done the right thing. You said, “I accidentally backed into your car. I’m so sorry. I checked everywhere on both cars and it appeared there was no damage.” and you left your phone number. Thank you! We need many more people like you in the world - people who are respectful of others’ property and take responsibility for their actions when they have an accident. You could’ve just as easily ran off, but you took responsibility for your error and did the right thing. By the way, I checked everything and there was no damage.

Thank you!

The Sunday before Labor Day, I had a fish dinner and coffee for lunch in the Canal View Restaurant in Newark. When I asked for my bill, I was told the couple at the table next to my booth had paid it. They had already left so I couldn’t thank them. Hopefully they will see this and know how much I appreciate it. Thank you so much! How thoughtful!

Youth Football

Hey youth football team. Want to know why your numbers are down? You might want to look internally at the coaches of these kids. They do not make it fun and they are obviously only coaching for their own kids. They are more concerned about statistics of YOUTH FOOTBALL players and making highlight films and posting these so -called stats on social media touting how great they are. What about the other players, the average players or the players who are on the fence about playing.? This is what youth football should be about, making a connection with ALL the players. Is the board really afraid of the coaches? Is this why they will not speak up? Bring back small town football......please!!

Suspecting and Diagnosing Hereditary Hemochromatosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband was diagnosed with hemochromatosis 13 months before he died. I recommended that his blood relatives get tested so they can get treatment early, if necessary. Some doctors don’t know to check ferritin levels to make a diagnosis in a person with a family history of hemochromatosis. -- C.G.

ANSWER: Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) is a genetic disease of iron overload. In a person with HHC, the intestines absorb as much iron as they can all the time, even if the body doesn’t need it, whereas a person without HHC will simply stop absorbing iron if it isn’t necessary. The iron can go into and damage many organs, especially the liver, heart, bone marrow, hormone-producing glands and skin. The diagnosis should be suspected in close relatives of an affected person. Although checking ferritin levels is useful in making the diagnosis, iron tests, total iron-binding capacity tests and hemoglobin tests should also be ordered. If the family member has a recognized genetic mutation, such as C282Y homozygote or C282Y/H63D compound heterozygote, those genetic tests may also be useful in making the diagnosis.

The diagnosis should even be suspected in people with vague symptoms, such as weakness and fatigue. I teach my students and residents to consider the possibility of iron overload, as it is common, easily tested for, and easily treated with phlebotomy (blood removal). Symptomatic HHC is more common at an earlier age in men than women, but it still should be considered in younger women.

A clinician should also consider iron overload in people with enlarged livers or abnormal liver enzymes, diabetes, changes in skin tone (bronze or gray), heart failure and some kinds of arthritis. Most people with these conditions do not have HHC, but initial testing is cheap and easy.

Treatment can be done by donating blood. My first patient with HHC donated over 100 units of blood before his blood levels came down to the target range.

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).

Your child’s dental health begins earlier than you might think. Teeth begin forming in the womb when the fetus is only about six weeks old. At this stage, the basic substance of the teeth is formed. By three to four months the hard tissue that surrounds teeth is formed. After birth, teeth begin coming in between six and twelve months old. Children should start brushing when the first tooth emerges. After about two years, a child’s final baby teeth will emerge (the four second molars). Paying attention to your own dental health during pregnancy will help support your child’s developing teeth. Consuming nutrients like calcium, protein, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and D, will help your baby grow healthy teeth.

Taught early enough, healthy habits turn into healthy lifestyles. Begin with proper brushing and flossing techniques and a toothfriendly diet. Continue with regular professional care and cleanings for a beaming smile that will last a lifetime.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

His Passion Toward Environmental Conservation and Hunting

BY SUZIE WELLS

National Hunting and Fishing Day is September 23rd this year. Al Fagan, District Manager for the Wyoming County Soil & Water Conservation District, shares his insights and passion toward environmental conservation as well as hunting/archery. He says conservation is an everyday concept for him and he greatly appreciates the land and natural resources in Wyoming County and Western NY.

Growing up, Al’s family was very much into the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, etc., and he knew he was headed toward a life in some environmental field. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Forestry from Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks and spent time in Acadia National Park before heading back home to Wyoming County. He admits he doesn’t do much with forestry anymore, but focuses on agricultural environmental conservation practices as well as invasive species management, water conservation, and aquatic habitats in Wyoming County.

Al loves Wyoming County for its rural natural spaces with proximity to urban centers. He says, “You can get whatever you need within a reasonable distance but get to come home.” He loves the small town feel with beautiful and diverse landscapes, from the long rolling slope along the Genesee River to the more hilly western parts of the county. “And hey, we have some of the best trout streams around right here,” he adds.

Al says he works with local, state, and federal resources to receive funding for grant-based projects around the county. He particularly notes working with farms on conservation practices that help prevent erosion and improve water quality, including manure storages, diversion ditches, cover crops, and everything in between.

Al moonlights as an archery technician at Drape’s Outdoors in Wadsworth, where he’s shared his passion with youth and adults alike for nine years now, helping people get their archery equipment tuned up. Al explains that responsible hunting is a necessary part of conservation.

e Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) hosts a youth turkey hunting weekend each April, a week ahead of the regular hunting season, to expose youth ages 12-15 to the outdoors and to the experience of turkey hunting before seasoned veterans get out there. Al describes the experience guiding the daughter of Featured Media’s own Kathryn Boor on her first successful youth turkey hunt. In the wee hours of the morning in the spring of 2022, Vivianne and her uncle, Jim, met up with Al in a turkey blind they set up a er scouting land. Shortly a er dawn broke,

then-13-year-old Vivianne successfully shot and bagged a tom turkey a er the group called for a short time.

Vivianne says, “Al’s experience and expertise in hunting were so helpful and it gave me a lot of confidence to know that I had people behind me making sure I was good and prepared. Al helped me to realize that it takes a lot of patience to turkey hunt. I love hunting. It helps me feel like I’m pulling my own. It’s good to be able to provide food and help keep balance of the nature that is all around us.”

Alsayso enthebiggestchallengeishumanssettingupclosetotheturkeys, who roost in trees at night, without alerting them. Turkeys are very smart, he says, and they o en notice and evade the hunters. rough stealth and successful calls and good marksmanship, hunters can successfully bag the turkeys. While Al enjoys hunting, he says he finds most enjoyment in helping others such as Vivianne call and harvest their own birds.

To aspiring hunters, Al advises: “Don’t be afraid to reach out to seasoned veterans for advice, but also don’t be afraid to try something new. ere’s no set way to do things, as long as you stick to the law of course, and sometimes the most outlandish strategies end up having the best results.”

To aspiring conservationists, he advises: “Be aware of where everything comes from, where the water comes from, how trees impact the ecosystem, environmental processes, and ask to shadow with experts. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or more information.”

And to all humans in Wyoming and other counties, Al says, “No matter if you’re in a village or out in the boondocks, there are things anyone can do to help conserve” our natural resources. He suggests simple things like not mowing with clippings directed into a stream or body of water, or planting trees on your property – seemingly small things that make a huge impact on the nature we share and enjoy. Al encourages all to contact your local Soil and Water Conservation district for more ideas for everyday ways you can help conservation efforts.

Protecting Honeybees

Provide clean sources of water. A small garden feature or a rainwater collection is enough to provide bees with a drink when needed.

Preplanning a funeral may not be something to look forward to, but doing so can protect families and provide men and women with some peace of mind.

It takes a certain amount of maturity and wisdom to realize that the grass is NOT always greener in the other fellow’s yard, even though young men have traditionally gone to distant places to seek their fortune.

It is easy to deplore the lack of opportunity near to home. We know the situation here and we see no easy way to fame and fortune, so we may look to faraway places. The wisest among us looks for, and often finds, whatever he wants… including happiness… at home, right under his feet.

We are always available to help, whether with pre-need planning or at the time of need. You can depend on us for the kind of help and advice you would expect from a trusted friend.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A NEW JOB

Work/life balance: Before beginning your search for a new job, think about why you want to switch careers or companies. Long hours often leads to burnout. If you’re looking for a new job because you’re burned out, try to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance. A study from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen found that, with the curious exception of people who work more than 55 hours per week, stress rises accordingly with the numbers of hours worked each week. Keep that in mind if your goal is to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A TEAM PLAYER

The ability to communicate, interact and work collectively with others is both a professional and personal asset. But in certain ways, the reliance on technology has made working as a team more complicated. People have grown accustomed to spending large quantities of time alone working at computers or on phones and tablets, potentially compromising their ability to work directly with others when the need arises.

According to Monster.com, when it comes to choosing a candidate for a new job or promotion, employers consistently say they want a team player. That means it’s advantageous for professionals looking to further their careers to brush up on their team-building and social skills.

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.
