Oatka- Genesee Valley Penny Saver- 9-8-23

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On Sept. 10, 1940, in light of the destruction and terror inflicted on Londoners by German bombing raids, called “the Blitz,” the British War Cabinet instructs British bombers over Germany to drop their bombs “anywhere” if unable to reach their targets. One even landed in the garden of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Party’s minister of propaganda.

Protect Your Mobile Devices - and Your Identity (Family Features) Mobile devices have become an indispensable tool for many people - and the thought of losing one of those devices, or having it stolen, is disconcerting, to say the least. But it happens every day. It’s estimated that lost or stolen phones alone could cost U.S. users $30 billion in 2012.

When a phone or tablet goes missing, so does a lot of personal information. And that can lead to more than just some inconvenience - it can lead to a stolen identity.

The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. While identity thieves still resort to old-fashioned methods of information gathering, like going through trash and stealing wallets and purses, they can also get the personal information you store on your mobile device.

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION

Get necessary permits: Permits are designed to ensure the work is being done to code and in a safe manner. However, they are not without additional costs and processing time, and that can cause some homeowners to skip this step. According to the home information site The Spruce, building permits cost anywhere from $400 to about $2,200 for new home construction. Building permits for smaller projects can cost $100 or less, and typically are based on a percentage of the anticipated cost of the project. A permit may be issued the day the application is submitted,while other cities and towns may issue permits up to two or more weeks later. Factor permit fees and processing times into the renovation plan.

If it comes to light a homeowner did work without a required permit, he or she may face penalties; may have to tear out work done to have it inspected or redone; some may be unable to sell a home until permits have been obtained and work has been done to code. Homeowners insurance coverage also may be affected if homeowners do not obtain the proper permits.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS

Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING

DID YOU KNOW?

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.

difficult to start from seeds. If you take the time in fall to spread the dried seed heads every year, you might not need to replant.You could decide to add additional varieties. You can begin now by killing all existinggrowthbysmotheringitwith sheets of cardboard. Put this down soon while plants are still growing. I would wait until March to remove it. Sprinkle the seeds and go over them with a leaf rake to get better soil contact. Your first year you will plant the fewest seeds; subsequent years seeds from plants you have grown

will be plentiful.Some seeds will be eaten by critters over the winter,so I prefer early-spring planting the first year.

American Meadows offers a seed mix selected for part shade and instructions for creating this type of garden. More details are offered on YouTube, so you can get a better

feel for this project. You will need to periodicallyremoveinvadingweeds; a couple of times per year might be sufficient. These seed mixes are offered in a selection of sizes for smaller or larger areas.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

* The maddening but addictive Rubik’s Cube was created by accident. Professor of architecture Erno Rubik built a twistable box with colorful rows of labels on each side in an attempt to design blocks that could move without collapsing the entire structure. After rotating a few rows and mixing up the colors, the real challenge began: realigning the hues! It took Rubik about a month to restore his cube to its original condition.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Spinal Cord Injury

Misdiagnosed as Blood Pressure Stroke

DEAR DR. ROACH: Have you ever heard of a “low blood pressure stroke”? That was my husband’s (incorrect) diagnosis several years back when he suddenly could not move his arms and legs. He was told that not enough oxygen was getting to his spine. (His blood pressure is historically low, usually around 90/60.)

That lasted about seven months, and he was bedridden the entire time. He then went to a neurosurgeon and was (correctly) diagnosed with a spinal cord injury. He had C1-C2 surgery and had use of his limbs the next day. After months of physical therapy, he regained a lot of function. We’ve never heard of that diagnosis before or after his experience. Does it really exist? -- E.S.K.

ANSWER: The brain has tremendous ability to regulate its own blood flow under a very wide range of blood pressures, but there are some limits. When a person is used to very high blood pressure levels, such as 200/110 for months or years, a sudden drop to 90/60 (or even 120/80 sometimes) can cause a stroke. That’s the main reason we don’t lower blood pressure too quickly in people who have had very high blood pressure levels for a long time. It takes weeks or months for the brain to recover its ability to regulate blood flow.

In a person who has a heart attack, prolonged low blood pressure (or no blood pressure) will also cause brain damage. That’s why starting CPR as quickly as possible is so critical in order to preserve brain function.

In both of these cases, not enough blood is getting to the central nervous system (the brain, the spinal cord and the retinas), which can lead to cell death -- the hallmark of a stroke. But these are extreme cases.

A healthy person whose normal blood pressure is around 90/60 is at risk for fainting when suddenly standing; however, they are at a lower-than-average risk for heart disease and stroke. The diagnosis of “a low blood pressure stroke” for your husband doesn’t make any sense at all to me, and advanced imaging of the brain should have made it abundantly clear that it was not the right diagnosis. I’m shocked that he wasn’t treated correctly for that long. But I’m very happy to hear that his neurosurgeon did not assume the diagnosis of a stroke, instead making the correct diagnosis and performing the procedure to help him recover. Your husband is fortunate that he still had neurological function to recover after such a long time, since spinal cord injuries generally heal better when treated promptly. ***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

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

IS BREAST CANCER RELATED TO ORAL HEALTH?

Gum disease affects whole body health. Recent research shows that women with periodontal disease (advanced gum disease) are two to three times more likely to develop breast cancer. This supports the theory that breast cancer is triggered by inflammation originating in the gums. Another theory suggests that oral bacteria enter the bloodstream through the gums and affect breast tissue. Whether gum disease is a cause of cancer or just an association remains to be seen. Other studies have already shown that gum disease is linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar along the gumline, so regular dental cleanings and daily flossing may help prevent cancer.

A serious threat to dental health as well as to overall health is gum disease. And the best way to deal with gum disease is to prevent it, with daily brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist on a regular basis.At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we are diligent in our approach to making sure periodontal disease doesn’t destroy your smile. It is our mission at 6 Batavia City Centre to deliver the highest level of care, using the latest materials and always keeping our patients’ comfort and well-being in mind. You can reach us at 585.343.4246

P.S. Studies show that cancer may be linked to chronic inflammation and infections like periodontal disease.

PAW’S CORNER

Keep dogs leashed on the trail

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can we talk about people on hiking paths who let their dogs run off-leash? I’m getting increasingly frustrated at the number of loose dogs that run up to my dog, Chester, when we’re out for a day hike. Since the pandemic, it seems to happen much more o en. I keep my dog on a leash because he’s big, boisterous and could knock an adult down if he took off running. Why can’t other people do the same? -- Bev in Stoneham, Massachusetts

DEAR BEV: I hear you! As a hiker myself, I get the appeal of going out to wild spaces. And I love bringing my dog along. But she stays on her leash. It’s not just the right thing for dog owners to do, it’s the law in most state parks. Some federal parks don’t even allow dogs or other pets, o en because of fragile ecology.

Hikers, check the rules of the park or wildlife area you’re planning to walk through before leaving home. Even if there are no rules about dogs, keep your dog on a leash. Not only will it protect your dog from encounters with unappreciative wildlife (like skunks, rattlesnakes and porcupines), it will also protect other hikers and their dogs from injury and undue stress. Not all dogs on the trail are friendly or well-socialized.

And finally, pick up your dog’s poop and carry it out with you. Yes, it’s gross. But it preserves the beauty and ecology of the park. And it’s the right thing to do.

Though we are wild rabbits we have made a home here at what we call the Carrot Man’s home. We get fed lettuce/ carrots bowls as an extra special treat. And then shredded carrots at least 3 times a day!

Record Number of Graduates for the 2023 Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program

Ten participants graduated from third annual manufacturing training program

BY RICHARD T. TURNER

Ten participants from the third annual Genesee Valley PreApprenticeship Program graduated from this year’s six-week paid training program. e “boot camp” style program is an earn while you learn model which pairs in-class instruction at the GeneseeValleyBOCESinBataviaandon-the-jobtrainingatseveral local advanced manufacturing companies.

e Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program was created in 2021 to assist companies in the greater Rochester and GLOW Region(Genesee,Livingston,Orleans,andWyomingcounties)with recruitment and training for one of the region’s largest industries. Participants graduated from the program with 96 hours of state-ofthe-art mechatronics training and more than 100 hours of on-thejobexperienceatadvancedmanufacturingatcompaniesinGenesee, Livingston, and Monroe counties.

“ is program continues to train workers of all ages, skill levels, and abilities for a wide array of high-demand careers in advanced manufacturing,”saidBobCoyne,ExecutiveDirectoroftheRochester TechnologyandManufacturingAssociation(RTMA).“ e‘Genesee Valley Boot Camp’ is an incredible partnership between industry, academia, and workforce development partners in our community.”

eGeneseeValleyPre-ApprenticeshipProgramincludeshandson simulation training for a variety of available careers including electromechanical trades, construction materials manufacturing, agricultural manufacturing, and more. In addition to the classroom time, participants received paid, on-the-job training and a fast-track opportunity for a full-time career with local manufacturing companies.

“ e BEST Center at Genesee Community College remains grateful for the funding provided by SUNY DOL and its Reimagine Workforce Preparation Training Program that provides resources for high demand training for industry-recognized credentials like the Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program,” said Jennifer Wakefield, Executive Director of Workforce Development. “We look forward to continued collaboration in this program to expand opportunities for increased pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship training.”

Training was provided at no cost to the students and companies due to grants secured by Genesee Community College’s BEST Center, Genesee Economic Development Center and the Workforce Development Institute.

Participating employers for the 2023 program include Oxbo,UnitedStatesGypsum, Triton Mechanical, Goforth Electric,DiamondPackaging, Arctic Refrigeration, Maris Systems Design, and more.

“ is year’s Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program offered students a unique opportunity to discover their career path and their future without the burden of college debt. anks to our participating employers, students have been introduced and empowered to succeed in these in-demand careers through instruction and on-the-job training,” said Chris Suozzi, Vice President of Business and Workforce Development, Genesee County Economic Development Center.

e Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program is primarily funded through the SUNY Reimagine Workforce Preparation Training Program and is supported by the Genesee Valley BOCES, RochesterTechnologyandManufacturingAssociation,FingerLakes Youth Apprenticeship Program, GCC, Genesee County Economic Development Center (GCEDC), GLOW Workforce Development Board and Workforce Development Institute.

incurring any costs, the Genesee Valley Pre-Apprenticeship Program stands as a pivotal workforce enhancement,” remarked Jon Sanfratello, Director of Instructional Program at Genesee Valley BOCES. “ is remarkable training initiative forges a career pathway that effectively addresses workforce employment demands. Such practical skills development serves as a shining illustration of our dedication to aiding GLOW regional students and current employees, while also meeting the precise needs of our local business community.”

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.

Here’s a tip

* When I need to dust the ceiling, I don’t have a fancy contraption; I just use my broom. If you have popcorn ceilings, you can rubber band a feather duster to the end of your broom. Look around your house, and maybe you’ll find a sneaky cleaning purpose for everyday items.

* Dirty candles can be cleaned up quickly with a leg of panty hose. Slip the candle in the hose, rub the outside of the candle and release.

* You can use a coffee filter to clean the screen of your television. It’s not scratchy and non-static. Be sure not to press down hard into today’s screens. And use only approved cleaners for your flatscreen and plasma television sets.

* Need to clean your iron? Scrub the face with salt. en heat it and run the iron over the salt. I pour the salt on foil for even more heat effect.

Magic Maze NONSENSE

Mosquitoes are not just pesky nuisances, but they’re also harmful. According to the American Mosquito Control Association, more than one million people across the globe die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Such diseases include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus.

The AMCA notes that many of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes can be linked to travel to endemic areas. But mosquitoes in North America can still be harmful, and bites may result in severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to mosquito saliva.

With Much Gratitude

A huge thank you to the woman in line behind me at the Geneseo Wegmans last Wednesday. I inadvertently left my credit card in another wallet, and even though the cashier said they would put my order aside while I went home to get my card, you insisted on paying for my groceries. At 94 I am grateful for each day, and for people like you.

Angels DO exist among us

While shopping on August 26, I took a nasty spill outside of Target in Webster. It resulted in some cuts and abrasions and was witnessed by a woman and her son whom I consider to be true angels. They helped me to a bench in the store and got some wet paper towels for the bleeding and stayed as the store manager and security talked with me, patched my wounds, and filled out an accident report. She filled out a witness report. I thanked her over and over for all they did. I continued with some shopping and as I was checking out, she approached me with a bag with home medical supplies and a get well card and gift card to help me feel better. Her kindness and support blew me away and I forgot to get her first name. So, this is a huge thank you shout out to her and her son for being angels beyond what anyone would normally do. I intend to pay your kindness forward and it is encouraging to know you and others like you care in an ever-increasingly greedy world. Thank you again and always.

Excuse me! Genesee Valley Penny Saver!

Seniors are not the only ones who need to watch for school buses, their lights, children, etc.! I resent being selected as one who does not drive safely. If you drive at all, you will have seen drivers running red lights, tailgating, passing illegally and speeding. Roads are a very dangerous place to be these days. I wish there were more traffic cops to deal with these reckless drivers. Driving a car is a privilege, not a right owed to anyone. So please, GVPS, how about tending the cautionary note to all drivers and not just seniors?

(A note from GVPS: Sorry if it looked like we were addressing this message only to seniors. We had a note for everyone on the front cover about watching out for buses with the start of school, but this particular piece ran in the Active Living 50+ page and that’s why it was addressed to seniors. We’ll do our best to catch this kind of thing in the future as the message is important for all. Thanks for pointing it out!)

Handicap parking

At a local Labor Day Festival, I had a scuffle with some people over handicap parking. My wife is recovering from a stroke, but the handicap parking lot at this festival was completely full, with several cars lacking handicap plates or hangers. I confronted some people at one of these cars about parking for my wife, and received a rage-filled obscenity-laced refusal to move. Fortunately a police officer came over to de-escalate the situation. But it turned out that one of these people really was handicapped, and he said he couldn’t find his hanger. Yet he “found” it very quickly when the police officer spoke to him. Then I tried to apologize to the man and received more of the same anger and rage.

People, if you have a handicap hanger, use it, and please don’t argue with someone who stands up for handicap rights. If you aren’t handicapped, please don’t take parking spaces from the people who really need them.

TAKE

A CUE FROM SUCCESSFUL WOMEN

Make time for exercise. A sluggish body can make for a sluggish mind. Successful people need to be sharp, and exercise can help them maintain their mental focus. According to John J. Ratey, Ph.D., a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, muscles send hormones rushing to the brain where they mix with a substance called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. BDNF plays a role in brain cell growth and learning. Without it, brains can’t absorb new information or grow and learn. Exercise also helps relieve stress, which can make resolutions easier to see and make tasks less overwhelming.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A TEAM PLAYER

The ability to communicate, interact and work collectively with others is bothaprofessionalandpersonalasset.Butincertainways,therelianceon 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.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Gallup’s 2021 Economy and Personal Finance survey,the average individual in the United States is retiring earlier than many people might expect. Gallup found that the average retirement age was 62, which is two years earlier than the working respondents indicated they planned to retire. Canadians are retiring a little bit later than their American counterparts, as Statistics Canada reports the average retirement age in Canada is just over 63 and a half. The average retirement age is worth noting, as studies routinely find that many working professionals greatest concern about retiring is that they won’t have enough money saved to meet their needs. By recognizing that they may end up retiring earlier than they initially planned, professionals can make a concerted effort to save more money in the years ahead.
