DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

Q&A Master Gardeners with
the
from Cornell Cooperative Extension, Livingston County
What are tried and true methods for keeping weeds away?
Keeping weeds at bay is an ongoing battle for gardeners, but there are several tried and true methods to help you maintain a weed-free garden. Here are some effective strategies to consider:
1. Mulching: Mulching is one of the most effective ways to suppress weeds. Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips, straw, or bark, around your plants. Mulch helps smother weed seeds, prevents their germination, and blocks sunlight from reaching existing weeds. It also helps retain moisture in the soil and improves its fertility. Regularly replenish the mulch layer to maintain its effectiveness.
2. Hand Pulling: For small areas or isolated weeds, hand pulling is a practical and eco-friendly method. Ensure you remove the entire weed, including the roots, to prevent regrowth. It’s best to pull weeds when the soil is moist, making it easier to extract them. Regularly inspect your garden and promptly remove any emerging weeds before they have a chance to spread.
3. Weed Barriers: Weed barriers, such as landscape fabric or cardboard, can be used in conjunction with mulch to create an additional barrier against weeds. These materials block weed growth by preventing sunlight from reaching the soil. Place the barrier over the soil before applying mulch, ensuring it covers the entire planting area. Cut holes in the barrier to accommodate existing plants.
4. Weed Control Fabric: For larger areas, weed control fabric can be an effective solution. This permeable fabric allows water and nutrients to reach the plants while blocking weed growth. Install the fabric on the soil surface before planting, securing it with landscape pins. Cut holes in the fabric to accommodate the desired planting areas. It’s important to regularly inspect and remove any weeds that may emerge around the holes.
5. Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance is key to weed prevention. Keep your garden beds tidy by removing debris and fallen leaves, as they can provide a breeding ground for weed seeds. Regularly hoe or cultivate the soil to disrupt weed growth and prevent them from establishing deep roots. Additionally, practicing good garden hygiene by removing weeds before they go to seed will help prevent future weed problems.
Remember, a combination of these methods is often the most effective approach. It’s also important to be vigilant and address weeds as soon as they appear to prevent them from spreading and competing with your desired plants. With consistent effort and the right strategies, you can keep weeds under control and enjoy a healthier, more attractive garden.
e Master Gardener Program is a national program of trained volunteers who work in partnership with their county CCE office to extend information throughout their communities.
I think the true gardener is a lover of his flowers, not a critic of them. I think the true gardener is the reverent servant of Nature, not her truculent, wife-beating master. I think the true gardener, the older he grows, should more and more develop a humble, grateful and uncertain spirit. ~Reginald Farrer, In a Yorkshire Garden, 1909
FINDING THE RIGHT FENCING
Among the more expensive fencing options, vinyl can make up for that initial sticker shock thanks to its durability. In addition, vinyl fences require little maintenance, saving homeowners the expense of paying for upkeep such as repainting. Vinyl fencing comes in various styles, and homeowners can choose the style that best suits their priorities with regard to aesthetic appeal and privacy.

How to remove a tick from your pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: While checking my little Terrier, “Fritz,” a er a walk, I found one small tick just hanging on his fur. I don’t know what I would have done if it had attached itself to his skin. What’s the procedure? Should I rush him to the vet if a tick attaches itself? -- Carla in Albany, New York
DEAR CARLA: Excellent work in checking Fritz’s coat right away a er your walk! Ticks are so common now that it’s important to check a er every outdoor foray, even if your dog never leaves the sidewalk. A tick check is a fast way to make sure -- just by running your hand along your pet’s coat, down and then up.

You do not need to rush your dog to the vet for an embedded tick. You can remove it yourself. Here’s how:
-- Grab a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass. If you have surgical gloves and a tick remover tool, even better.
-- Have another person hold your dog still while you locate the embedded tick.
-- Carefully grasp the tick with the tweezers as close to the dog’s skin as possible, near its head.
-- Slowly, steadily pull the tick out. Don’t jerk. Place the tick into a plastic bag with a little isopropyl alcohol.
-- Clean the dog’s skin with a dab of isopropyl alcohol and apply antibiotic ointment.
A er removing the tick, monitor your dog for a few days and keep an eye on the bite area to make sure an infection doesn’t develop. If you notice changes in his behavior, signs of illness or the bite area gets infected, then it’s time to see the vet, and bring the tick along in a plastic bag.

Pete Bruckel Recognized for 30 Years of Support of the National Warplane Museum
BY RUTH HENRY, NWM VOLUNTEER
National Warplane Museum (NWM) volunteer John Snyder and NWM President Austin Wadsworth visited Peter Bruckel at his company in Avon recently to present a plaque honoring Bruckel’s 30 years of Museum support.
An aviation enthusiast, Bruckel earned his pilot’s license at age 30. His two sons, Justin and Josh, love aircra as well, having been around planes since they were toddlers. “I love the speed!” says Justin, who received his pilot’s license in 2023.
Pete’s support for NWM started in 1994 when he donated a building to the Museum. His crew disassembled, loaded, transported, unloaded, and reassembled the small original hanger which provided a tremendous boost to the newly formed organization. Over the years, his company, P S Bruckel Inc. in Avon, has assisted Air Shows and large group gatherings by bringing in lights, signs, traffic control management and generators.
During the early Airshows, the Bruckel family were easy to spot as they perched thirty feet above the crowds atop an orange scissor man-li , a large piece of industrial heavy equipment used for highway bridge painting. e li remained on site throughout the show for family and friends to enjoy the unobstructed views of planes taking off and landing.
Asked what has prompted his support over three decades, Pete cited his love of aviation, love of airplanes, and love for military veterans who “fought for this country and deserve more credit than they get.”
Pete’s father, William J Bruckel, served as a Navy Commander during WWII. He was stationed on a submarine in the waters of Tokyo Bay when Hiroshima was bombed. His sub rescued a B-29 crew from the waters off Tokyo, and movie footage of that rescue remains in the Bruckel family archives. William Bruckel completed his military service and then, through the GI Bill, attended University of Rochester and Harvard Law School (1946-48). He established a law practice in the Town of Avon and served as Village Attorney.
e Bruckel family’s benevolence has extended beyond NWM, including Toys for Tots and Canandaigua Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Pete’s latest initiative, LIVWELL, is a multi-use facility planned in Avon on land donated by his family. Growing up in Avon, Pete’s
participation in sports helped him connect to the community and learn valuable life lessons he believes can benefit people of all ages today. His father, William, was an All-American football player in college and his three children all played college sports. Pete sees LIVWELL filling community needs through the development of a multi-generational community wellness center offering indoor and outdoor sports and recreation, community space, and senior programming.
According to Justin, a LIVWELL Board member, “ is facility will be accessible to the community geographically. Programs that families had to drive to Rochester to find will be available right here in Livingston County.” In addition to sports, LIVWELL plans community rooms for social gatherings and events for seniors and young families, as well as health services such as physical therapy and wellness classes.
Asked what motivates this level of philanthropy, Justin cites his dad’s success over his 45 years as a business entrepreneur and this new season of life Pete is entering. “He has supported many people and programs over the years but is now able to focus on larger community projects. He has a special place in his heart for Livingston County and Geneseo and now can give back in a more substantial way.”
As with the National Warplane Museum, Pete recognizes the importance of re-investing in the community, for himself, his neighbors, his kids, grandkids, and future generations.

The Penfield Business Chamber wishes to thank all who participated in a successful June 14th PENFEST.. Thanks go to The Town of Penfield, Volunteers from many, many organizations, our raffle donors, vendors, food trucks and the Board of the Penfield Business Chamber. We could not have done it without all of your help and support. This year's raffle increased 50% from last year's raffle. Half of the proceeds benefit Penfield Hope. Here's to our 5th annual PENFEST in 2025!
What used to be nice senior apartments is now filthy, dirty, and a very low caliber of people. Drugs. Drinking. Constant overnight guests. Dirty animals. Bad behavior. Smoking inside. It sounds harsh but it’s a fact. How can new managers bring down a building so fast? In a matter of a few years! It literally smells in there. It’s going to take years to clean up, if you care to. In the meantime it falls on you and your reputation of not doing a very good job. It might pay to bring in older, experienced and wiser people to manage it.

Thank you!
On behalf of all the Henrietta Seniors that attended the trip to the Seneca Park Zoo, I would like to thank the Staff at the Zoo who were so helpful answering all our questions and to Nicole and Diane of the Henrietta Senior Center for being awesome and helping us through the entire trip, it is nice to attend a place were Seniors are treated with respect.
Can’t believe a multi-million dollar renovation is necessary for our [local town] Airport after the many million dollar renovation recently completed. Our small city airport functions just fine without the “enhancements” that are proposed. “Natural lighting” shouldn’t cost millions. This sounds like a huge rip-off for our tax dollars. Fix the roads instead!

Spitting
Cherry pit spitting is the act of spitting out remains of cherries from one’s mouth to send them as far away as possible. Thousands of people, comprising contestants and spectators around the U.S., gather at specified venues to participate and witness this exciting holiday. The origin of the day is associated with Herb Teichman. He is the owner of Tree-mendus Fruit Farm. They first held a fun competition of cherry pit spitting in 1974 at his farm.
BUT... have you ever wondered how you can just enjoy cherries without trying to tear out the pits first? Well, guess what, there is a cherry pitter! It looks like a giant hole punch, except it’s for punching out cherry pits and it does four cherries at a time. It’s simply amazing! You won’t ever have to spit out or tear out cherry pits again!

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Doctors Differ on Dietary Advice for Lynch Syndrome
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 55-year-old woman who eats well and exercises (with both weights and cardio) six to seven times per week. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with Lynch syndrome. (I have the “MLH1” genotype.) My primary care physician suggested testing after my sister died of cancer at the age of 48. (Doctors were never able to determine if she had breast or lung cancer because of the location of the cancer.) All of my siblings (four of us) have been tested, and each of us has it. Two of my nieces have also tested positive for it.
I have three adult children of my own, and my doctor told me that at least one of them will have it. Of my three children, only one has been tested, and she tested positive for it. Since my diagnosis, I have been receiving regular preventive care such as colonoscopies, endoscopies and mammograms. Other than some polyps that were removed, checked, and free of cancer, all procedures have come back “clear.”
One doctor told me to eat little to no red meat, follow a Mediterranean-style diet, and exercise. Another told me: “Live your life and eat whatever you want. Lynch Syndrome is hereditary. No matter what you do, you’ll either get cancer, or you won’t!”
I feel like I’m getting mixed messages from my doctors. Could you please tell me more information about Lynch syndrome? Does this mean that I will definitely end up getting cancer? Is there preventive care that I should focus on? -- G.R.
ANSWER: Lynch syndrome is caused by a mutation in a group of DNA repair genes. Without these repair genes, a person’s DNA is more liable to have errors in it when duplicated, which leads to an increased risk of cancers. People with Lynch syndrome are particularly at risk for colon cancer, but also cancers of the stomach, kidney, bladder and other organs. Women are at a higher risk for endometrial and ovarian cancer, but it remains debated whether breast cancer is a Lynch-associated cancer. Men with Lynch syndrome are at a higher risk for prostate cancer. Among family members, it is expected that half will inherit the Lynch mutation. Your family has been unlucky. I recommend that your other children get tested soon.
Of the four major genotypes in Lynch syndrome, MLH1 tends to have the highest risk of cancer, and approximately 70% to 80% of women with this genotype will get a Lynch-associated cancer, usually colon or endometrial. The goal is to find and remove these cancers before they can spread.
I strongly disagree with the doctor who suggested that diet isn’t important. When you are at a higher risk for cancer, it’s more important to have the healthiest lifestyle you can. A Mediterraneanstyle diet, which is high in fruits and vegetables and low in processed foods and meat, is likely to reduce your cancer risk, but it is critically important to continue screening.
A colonoscopy is recommended every one to two years. Many experts perform endometrial biopsies every year, despite ironclad evidence of benefit. Ovarian cancer screening is controversial and of uncertain benefit; some high-risk women have chosen a riskreducing surgery to remove their ovaries and fallopian tubes. Any symptoms of endometrial or ovarian cancer should be discussed with your physician, who can decide whether to do additional testing.
Protect hair and skin. Relaxing in the summertime sun does not mean you should forgo protection. Remember to always apply sunblock to all parts of your body. Some hair products contain sunblock to protect the scalp, and men who shave their heads or are naturally balding should be diligent about applying sunblock to the top of their heads. Don’t forget to apply sunblock to the tops of your feet and your ears.

HAVE KIDS; WILL TRAVEL: MASTER VACATIONING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN
Travel early morning or late at night. Morning flights tend to be less crowded and are less likely to have takeoff delays that can push kids into meltdown mode. Kids are apt to be tired in the wee hours of the morning or later in the evening, so traveling, whether by road or sky, when they’re likely to sleep can be advantageous.
