TIPS FOR BETTER BREAKFASTS

Embrace the no-cook oatmeal method. Master the art of making overnight oats, which don’t require any cooking. Simply layer oats, Greek yogurt, applesauce (or other fruit purees),cinnamon,and almond milk in a mason jar.Place it in the refrigerator overnight.

Aluminum fencing is ideal for those looking for something that’s both ornamental and functional. Aluminum fencing may not appeal to those homeowners whose biggest priority is privacy, as aluminum fences are not solid walls. But aluminum fences are typically low maintenance, and they can be effective at keeping both kids and pets in the yard. Aluminum fences painted with a rust-inhibiting primer may require even less maintenance than aluminum fences painted without primer.

TO DO WHEN A PROJECT

off on solid financial footing. It’s important that homeowners who want to upgrade their homes enter the home improvement process with a realistic grasp of their finances. Many home improvement projects stall when homeowners run out of money. Homeowners can avoid such unfortunate situations by only beginning a project they know they can afford. Whether funding a project with a loan or savings or a combination of both, homeowners should make an honest assessment of what they can afford to commit to a given project. If the amount of money available does not add up to the estimated cost of the project, delay the project now or you might be facing a stalled project down the road.

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.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE

Keep surfaces free of clutter. Surfaces such as dining tables, coffee tables and kitchen counters tend to accumulate clutter. While such clutter might not feel overwhelming in a large home, in small spaces crowded surfaces can make it feel as though the walls are closing in. Make an effort to keep surfaces free of clutter, resolving to discard or put items away each night before going to bed.

WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DO TO ENGAGE THEIR COMMUNITIES

Offer your space. Another way business owners can engage their communities is by offering their spaces for community-based events. For example, business owners with ample parking lots can offer those lots as registration sites for charity 5Ks or other events that can utilize large and open outdoor spaces. This approach addresses a community need and draws a crowd of locals to your establishment, thus increasing the chances they will patronize the business during and after the event.

DID YOU KNOW? Thyroid cancer is the most common cancer to affect the endocrine system. While many cancers have decreased in prevalence, ThyCa: Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association, Inc. indicates incidence rates for thyroid cancer have increased in recent years. The American Cancer Society expects thyroid cancer deaths to increase to 2,200 in 2021 out of an estimated 44,280 people affected by thyroid cancer. Unlike most other adult cancers, thyroid cancer is commonly diagnosed at a younger age. Women are three times more likely to develop thyroid cancer than men. Thyroid cancer is largely treatable, most notably with the removal of a portion of the gland or the entire thyroid gland depending on cancer stage. People who have had their thyroids removed (thyroidectomy) will need to take daily thyroid hormone pills.

My maple tree (approx. 50 ft. high, 2 ft. around) has roots coming out of the ground (approx. 50 ft. from the house). What can I do? I want to keep it.

Maple trees can sometimes have shallow root systems that are prone to being at or just above the surface. This can be influenced by various factors, including soil conditions and the tree’s environment. In cases where the tree is healthy and the

exposed roots are not causing any immediate issues, it may be sufficient to avoid damaging those roots and be mindful of activities around the tree that couldharmthem.

One approach to protect the exposed roots is to use a stone mulch. Stone mulch can create a barrier that helps retain moisture and shields the roots from physical damage. It allows

for proper airflow and water exchange, ensuring the tree’s health. When using stone mulch, it is important to choose the appropriate size and type of stones to avoid impeding water penetrationorlimitingairflow.

However, it is always recommended to consult with a professionalarboristtoassessthe tree’s health and determine the best course of action. They can

provide specific advice tailored to your situation and ensure the long-term well-being of your maple tree. By taking these precautions and seeking expert guidance, you can maintain a healthy and thriving maple tree withshallowroots.

Celebrating Clara Barton: A Mural Project in Dansville

BY SUZIE WELLS

Dansville is about to welcome a vibrant new addition to its historic Main Street. On June 29th, the community will come together for a unique “Paint Party” to celebrate Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, o en referred to as the “Angel of the Battlefield.” Residents will help paint Dansville’s newest mural, created by acclaimed muralist Melissa Stratton-Pandina, on the south-facing wall of 170 Main Street, steps away from the historic Chapter 1 House.

Dansville ArtWorks manages this mural project, with funding by the LivCo First Impressions Village Edition grant to bring history and art together in a public space. Melissa hails from Westborough, MA, but her in-laws, Frank and Alice Pandina, live on the mountain in Dansville.

Melissa’s journey as an artist is as fascinating as her work. “I grew up in Germany as an Army brat,” she shares. “I got to see a lot of murals and chalk art growing up and I wanted to do that when I grew up.” Her artistic path led her to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt), where she studied under notable working artists. “ e program was tough and only had a 10% graduation rate. So, I got better real fast,” she says.

A er college, Melissa worked as a freelance artist but found it challenging to make a living without business skills, so she worked as a massage therapist while her family was young. Fiberglass public art rekindled her passion, and when her children started school, she devoted herself full-time to art. Melissa’s works have been featured in museum shows, professional artist magazines, and various publications.

“I started to really fall into public art and murals,” she says. She honed her skills further at the Community Mural Institute, where she learned to scale up her work and learned business and logistic skills needed for murals. Today, Melissa aims to complete five large and five small murals each year. Her largest to date spans 6,000 square feet at the Southwick Zoo.

For Melissa, stories are the heart of her inspiration. She says, “I find people fascinating. I really love getting into people’s internal lives; this is why I do a lot of portraits. ese portraits have led me to doing historical murals,” such as the upcoming Clara Barton one. “You can tell so much about a person by their face. And I love to reflect to people the beauty I see looking at them.” She describes the challenge inherent to each project, wanting to see how far she can push herself artistically while representing the feeling and the story behind a subject.

Melissa’s favorite media are oil and large-scale murals, “Oil because I can take my time, build layers, and make sure everything is perfect.

And I love murals because of the challenge to see how big, fast, and accurate I can be.”

Her creative process for murals, especially historical ones, involves extensive research and sketching. “Each mural starts with about 100 thumbnail sketches. Once I’m happy, I go on a scavenger hunt for reference photos, and then I work a photo design up on the computer.” is meticulous process ensures accuracy and ease of projection onto the wall.

e Dansville Clara Barton mural is particularly meaningful to Melissa, as she explains: “My dad was a medic in the army. I grew up around battlefield medicine and I find [Barton’s] role in it fascinating.”

e mural’s goal is to capture Clara Barton’s essence, particularly through her portrait. “My biggest focus is getting that portrait perfect. I really love the lighting and color in the sketch so I can’t wait to make it a reality.”

Melissa appreciates the creative freedom she has had with this project. She says, “Dansville had a short list of things they wanted in the mural, but I had a long leash on how I put those elements in. I feel like I had a large sandbox to play in.”

Melissa’s journey is a testament to perseverance and passion. Her advice to aspiring artists is simple yet profound: “Don’t give up. Be fearless in making mistakes. Your work will never be perfect, but each time it can be less wrong. And that’s the path to good art. All the ‘nos’ don’t matter as long as your work makes you happy.”

As Dansville prepares to celebrate Clara Barton with the new mural, Melissa Stratton-Pandina’s artistry stands as inspiration, inviting the community to engage with their history and each other through the power of art.

For more about Melissa and her work, visit www.deshria.com, and join her and the community on June 29th to be part of Dansville’s legacy. Melissa hopes she and her muraling can be part of some child’s origin story, just as she experienced long ago.

Here’s A Tip

* “Use a bandanna to strain coffee if you’ve accidentally had a filter bust. It works. I first used this tip when camping, but I have used it at home, too. e coffee goes through it faster than a paper filter, which is fine when it’s already brewed, since you lose less heat.” -- T.R. in Arkansas

* Recycling notes: Cardboard that’s greasy or food-caked is just not recyclable. It’s trash. On the plus side, your glass jars don’t have to be perfectly clean, nor your cans crushed, in order to take them to the recycling center or drop curbside if your community has a plan in place.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Quelling a cat’s separation anxiety

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Here’s a weird one. I went away on a business trip for three weeks, leaving my 9-year-old cat “Jenks” with a friend. Since I’ve returned, Jenks will not leave my side. He clambers onto my lap while I have Zoom meetings; he follows me to and fro around the house; and he insists on sleeping on the bed at night. He also meows loudly if he can’t see me. is is a new behavior for him. What’s going on? -- Claudio G. in Brooklyn

DEAR CLAUDIO: Jenks may have separation anxiety. Even though he never exhibited these behaviors before while you were away, it’s possible for a cat to develop this issue with no clear triggers.

Monitor his behavior patterns closely for a few days. In addition to meowing loudly when you’re out of sight, is he grooming his coat more than usual? Is he doing anything destructive like clawing up a new piece of furniture? Have his eating habits changed -- eating too little or gulping his food? ese can also be signs of anxiety.

Try the following and note if his behaviors lessen or normalize:

-- Don’t make a big production out of leaving the house or coming home. Extra affection may make him more anxious.

-- Leave the TV, radio or speaker on while you’re away, playing a program or music.

-- Set up a cat perch near the window so he can watch the world.

-- Create a den or nook where he can rest, safe and cozy.

If the behavior doesn’t improve, or it worsens, contact the veterinarian. ey will recommend an exam to rule out any illnesses. ey’ll offer advice on additional ways to help calm Jenks, and if necessary, will prescribe medication to reduce his anxiety.

Send your comments or to scribe medication to reduce his anxiety.

CRANE’S AUTOMOTIVE

Travel tickets: Treat graduates to a trip away from home. Travelers often gain new perspectives and inspiration when visiting a city, state or country for the first time. Travel is good for future entrepreneurs and may help a person stand out in a long list of job applicants. According to Forbes.com, travel can help cultivate relationships outside of one’s existing network and provide ideas from others outside of graduates’ existing personal and professional circles.

FACTORS THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT MOOD

Hunger: A 2018 study from researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario found evidence that a change in glucose levels can have a lasting effect on mood. The study, published in the journal Psychopharmacology, found that rats injected with a glucose metabolism blocker experienced stress and depressed mood due to the resultant hypoglycemia. The study lends credence to the notion that many people have about feeling moody when they don’t eat.

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.

The Power of a Thoughtful Independent Grassroots Movement

Lawn Mowing Hours

I’m so thankful for the over 900 volunteers who worked tirelessly for months to plan and pull-off the collection of well over 135,000 signatures to secure a place for an Independent presidential candidate on New York State’s 2024 ballot. What a recordbreaking accomplishment! I’m equally grateful for the quiet support that candidate has from tens of thousands of New Yorkers who wish for a better life for ALL Americans. This is happening all over our country. Thank you for all the Love, Light, Peace, Cooperation and Civility so many carry in their hearts and words.

Honor and remembrance ceremony. Huge thank you to the Conlan-Mulvaney American Legion Post for their holding the flag presentation for Ssgt. Stephen J Wilson KIA in Iraq. Thanks Legion commander and members.

Before you see, smell, or taste the arrival of summer—you’ll hear it by the sound of lawn mowers. I’m so over the perpetual, neverending lawn mowing in my area—at all hours day and night and often up to three or four times a week! But it’s not just the frequency that gets to me, even though mowing your lawn that often is truly terrible for the environment. Rather, it’s the time of day people choose to mow their lawns, with no regard for quiet hours in the early morning or late evening. I’ve heard multiple neighbors’ lawn mowers running as early as 7am and as late as 9pm this week. What is up with that? Friends, please be considerate of the noise and choose to mow your lawns during reasonable hours. And maybe think twice about how often you need to mow them—one or twice a week is really quite enough.

Please Be Respectful!

Caledonia Trout Fest Fun

What a wonderful time for all ages at the Caledonia Trout Festival on June 1st! Many, many thanks to all of the members of the Trout Festival Planning Committee and Big Springs Museum for the time and effort it takes to plan a community-wide event that brings together an entire community while opening it up and welcoming visitors from all over. Well done!

To people who walk their dogs in our local cemeteries, please STOP! It is disgusting and disrespectful to allow your dog to urinate and defecate on or near a grave. Our loved ones and all those interred deserve respect and honor. A cemetery is a place where families and friends should be able to reflect on and pay tribute to the lives of those buried there, free from dog excrement. Also, to all those who visit our cemeteries, please do not discard drink containers, cigarette butts and food wrappers on the grounds. Those interred deserve our utmost honor and respect.

Narrowing Down the Main Cause Behind Insulin Resistance

DEAR DR. ROACH: What is the main cause for insulin resistance? I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about five years ago. I’ve maintained a consistent weight under 200 pounds, and I’m only 5 feet, 9 inches tall. I was able to get my A1C level down to 7.2% last summer, but in late fall, my numbers started spiking, even with insulin. I now find myself injecting crazy amounts of insulin just to maintain normal glucose levels.

I’m on a diet of 40 grams of carbohydrates a day. I walk close to 20,000 steps a day. But on a regular day, I inject 30-40 units of mealtime insulin before eating a low-carb, high-protein meal. Still, my level spikes above 250 mg/dL, and it stays there for a few hours.

-- A.R.N.

ANSWER: Insulin is a signal that there is plenty of sugar in the body, and the body uses insulin to take sugar out of the blood into cells. Normally, just a little insulin will make blood sugar levels go down a lot. When it takes a lot of insulin to lower blood sugar levels, we say that there is insulin resistance. A great deal of work has been done in trying to elicit why people develop resistance to insulin. There are some rare congenital cases involving mutations of the insulin receptor. There are rarely acquired immune-mediated causes that have antibodies to insulin or the insulin receptor. These antibodies have an extremely high resistance to insulin. However, most cases of insulin resistance are associated with obesity. Your BMI is 29.5, suggesting that you’re overweight but not obese. In this case, abdominal fat is more metabolically important, since it can lead to free fatty acids and compounds called adipocytokines, which may contribute to insulin resistance. People with abdominal obesity and insulin resistance often have abnormal cholesterol levels and high blood pressures, a combination called “metabolic syndrome.” Blood pressure and cholesterol must often be treated separately. Insulin works to lower blood sugar, but there are four main hormones that oppose insulin and raise blood sugar: cortisol, catecholamines, glucagon and growth hormone. Elevated levels of any of these hormones will cause insulin resistance. I know this isn’t your case, but the pregnancy hormone human placental lactogen causes insulin resistance and is the proximate cause for gestational diabetes.

Some medicines (steroids, birth control pills, and HIV medicines) can cause insulin resistance. Critically, glucose itself can cause insulin resistance! High blood sugar levels prevent insulin release as well. This is why getting and keeping a normal blood sugar level is so critically important, especially when a person is first diagnosed. Management of a person with high amounts of insulin resistance can be challenging. You are already doing amazingly well with exercise, and it sounds as though your diet is of the type that is commonly recommended. Medications that reduce insulin levels -- such as metformin, GLP-1 agonists and thiazolidinediones -- are often recommended to reduce the amount of insulin used. Your situation is not common, and you should absolutely be in the hands of an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetes.

LLemons arrived in e New World in 1493, when Christopher ColUmbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola. The Spanish conquest spread em roughout e New World for ornamental, culinary, and medicinal use.

Fun Facts

Lemons were grown in pre-modern California by 1751 and in Florida in e 1800s, for cooking and more sophisticated flavoring. Each line across and down should have one of each fruit.

One lemon tree can produce up to 600 lbs of lemons every year. The high acidity of lemon makes it a good cleaning aid for removing stains. California and Arizona produce most of the United States’ lemons.

Unplug when you get home. Perhaps the simplest and most effective way for parents to regain a healthy work-life balance is to unplug their devices. Employing “Do not disturb” settings on smartphones and turning off tablets can ensure parents don’t spend their time at home working but connecting with their families.

Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the average worker spent 26 minutes traveling to work, the most recent year for which the USCB has data. That marksanearly20percentincrease in average commute time since 1980. Things aren’t much better in Canada, where the National Household Survey found that the average commuter spends just over 25 minutes traveling to work each day. People who commute via public transportation can use the time they spend going to and from the office to answer emails, review schedules or even work on projects. Commuters who drive themselves to work can consider switching to public transportation or, if possible, move closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in their vehicles, where they have no choice but to be unproductive.

According to a 2011 study published in the peer-reviewed journal the Annual Review of Nutrition, experimental data from animal studies suggests that maternal undernutrition among pregnant women may play a role in preterm birth. The study also reported that a lack of specific nutrients during pregnancy may influence gestation length by increasing the likelihood that a woman will give birth before reaching full-term. Women who are pregnant or hope to become pregnant can speak with their physicians about the role nutrition can play in a healthy, full-term pregnancy.
