REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS
In addition to fresh produce, farmers’ markets may offer baked and other prepared goods. Shopkeepers often mingle with their customers, offering trade secrets and recipe ideas. Additionally, local farm families supported by farmers’ markets generally offer supreme customer service to keep shoppers coming back week after week.
Green hues and floral and foliage patterns for decorating will be popular this year. Anyone can liven up interior spaces with elements that borrow from nature, including leaf patterns and flowers.

The word “condiment” comes from the Latin word “condimentum”, meaning spice, seasoning or sauce, and “condire”, which means to preserve, pickle or season. Although the word was first used to describe pickling fluid and seasoning in the mid-1400s, it has come to include a wide range of different products in modern times.
Why are condiments such a common feature on dining tables? Condiments are known to be a typical compliment to food because of their ability to personalize and add taste or flavor to different dishes as desired. Condiments also offer a whole sensory experience through smell, sight, sound, and touch, making dishes much more attractive.
TECH TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP
Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses. While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for the ride. Drivers about to embark on a road trip, whether it’s their first such venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING
BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE
Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.
MASONRY & BASEMENT
HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS
Avoid electrical work. Complicated electrical work is best left to the professionals. Estimates from the Electrical Safety Foundation International indicate that electrical malfunctions cause more than 50,000 house fires each year. Such malfunctions can occur for myriad reasons, and a lack of experience working with electrical circuits and breakers could make homes vulnerable to malfunctions and fires. It’s also worth noting that homeowners’ insurance policies may not cover damage caused by DIY electrical work. So at the very least homeowners should contact their insurance providers to determine if any accidents or injuries caused by DIY electrical work would be covered by their policies.
Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

the flooring. Tired, outdated carpeting or other flooring can use an overhaul. While solid hardwood flooring may be preferable, there are many types of laminate flooring that mimic the looks of popular wood colors and styles for a fraction of the cost. Plus, many are sold at home improvement retailers and even at warehouse clubs or online for reasonable prices. Laminate flooring also may be a potential DIY job for a skilled homeowner, saving even more money.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Vomiting and Difficulty Eating Could Signify Gastroparesis
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old healthy, active woman. I normally work out six days a week and used to be in very good shape. I’m having stomach issues, which caused me to lose 20 pounds since the end of last year. I was thin to begin with and have lost a significant amount of muscle and most of my body fat. I was diagnosed with gastric intestinal metaplasia in 2019 and had trouble eating, but I didn’t lose any significant weight at that time. No treatment was recommended beyond a suggested follow-up in a year or two.
I have difficulty eating anything but a small amount of food, and if I do “overeat,” I vomit. Eating is beyond a chore, and I continue to lose weight. I have been worked up with no conclusions in sight. I had a colonoscopy two years ago that was normal. I had an abdominal CT scan with and without contrast, an endoscopy, an MR enterography, and a brain scan this year, with no results that explained my problem.
I am seeing another GI doctor soon, but I’m not particularly hopeful. I am 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and now weigh 129 pounds. I am feeling desperate. Do you have any ideas? -- L.W.
ANSWER: Weight loss can have many different causes, and it seems like your doctors have carefully looked for many of the concerning ones. Key features of your story are that you are vomiting and losing weight. Intestinal metaplasia is when the lining of the stomach develops a microscopic appearance, similar to the intestines. This can predispose people to stomach cancer, but intestinal metaplasia can also be associated with low acid in the stomach.
Vomiting after eating normal amounts of food is a concern for a stomach mass, but between the endoscopy and the CT scan, it should have shown up. I would be concerned about gastroparesis, where the stomach doesn’t squeeze properly. Vomiting after eating is a hallmark symptom, as is feeling very full after a little food. A gastric emptying study can confirm the diagnosis.

SAFE FOOD PREPARATION
Chill - Cold foods need to be refrigerated to prevent spoilage. Do not leave food out of the refrigerator for more than two hours, or one hour if it is outdoors when the temperature is 90 F or hotter. Consider spreading foods thinly when packaging to help them chill down faster and later defrost more readily when leftovers will be used. Cold foods should be held at or below 40 F.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a 9-month-old puppy a few weeks ago and named him “Chestnut.” He’s wonderful, but has one problem. He is still not housetrained. I think part of it is from the shelter, where the dogs routinely poop in their cages and rarely are taken outside. Plus, he was rescued from a pet hoarding situation. How can I resolve his housetraining issues? -- Glenda in Dothan, Alabama
DEAR GLENDA: Congratulations on your new family member! I know the housetraining situation is frustrating, but have patience.
Send us a photo and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Submit online at gvpennysaver.com - Share With Us. Or, Mail to: PO Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.
If you haven’t taken Chestnut to the veterinarian yet for his first checkup, schedule that appointment. e vet will rule out any physical problems or hidden illnesses that might be contributing to the problem, and can give some helpful advice on working with dogs from a traumatic background. at background does have an effect on housetraining. Chestnut spent formative months in locations where little to no training took place, and he learned to follow the habits of the other dogs around him. So, you’ll have to retrain him away from those habits, and keep the entire experience a positive one.
Take Chestnut for walks two to three times per day, and (this is important) at the same times each day. He needs to know that at sunrise, noon and sunset, he will have “outside” time. Bring his favorite treats with you. At first, shower him with treats for everything: putting on the leash, walking next to you, sitting on command, and every time he poops or pees. Make him look forward to pooping outside.
Never scold him if he poops inside. Just clean up and try again. If he poops in specific areas of the house, block his access to those areas if possible. Keep training positive and be patient, patient, patient. He will come around.

Researcher Challenges Myth of Untouched Forests Before White Settlement in Western NY
BY MARK OBBIE
What did the Bristol Hills and western Finger Lakes forests look like when white settlers began moving here in the late 1700s? A SUNY Geneseo geographer will present research that shows the significant role of Indigenous land management long before European-American settlement, and how legacies of their land use persist today, if you know where and how to look.
SUNY Geneseo geographer Stephen J. Tulowiecki will give his talk, “Finger Lakes Forests Before European-American Settlement,” to the Bristol Hills Historical Society on ursday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Historical Society’s century-old Grange Hall at 6457 State Route 64 in Bristol Springs.
Tulowiecki has extensively studied the effects of periodic light burningoftheforestsbyIndigenouspeopleandhowthoseandother horticultural practices le enduring marks on our landscape. “It’s nottruethatwhitesettlersfoundonlyuntouched,old-growthforests when they began populating our region,” he said.
His and others’ research has mapped the locations of Indigenous towns and major trails throughout the western Finger Lakes and Genesee River valley. During his talk, Tulowiecki will highlight how groupings of old white oak trees today might indicate past Native American land use, as these trees thrived in open forests maintained by light burns.
“Understandingthelandasitwashundredsorthousandsofyears ago can inform our understanding of the land we now live on and can instruct us on how to mimic Indigenous land-use practices to achieve certain land management goals,” Tulowiecki explained.
Tulowiecki is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Sustainability Studies at SUNY Geneseo. He earned his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Buffalo and holds bachelor’s degrees in Geography and English from SUNY Geneseo. As a GIScientist and biogeographer, his work focuses on forested ecosystems prior to European settlement in the Northeastern U.S. His research examines the factors that shaped past geographic distributionsoftreespeciesandexploresmethodologicalissues,such as spatial representations of ecological phenomena and positional uncertainty in species data.
He uses geospatial tools and quantitative methods, such as geographic information systems (GIS), predictive modeling, statistical computing, and programming to learn more about Western NY before European-American settlement. He is also author of e Letchworth State Park Atlas, featuring hundreds of pages of maps documenting the park’s geology, ecological communities, weather, water, Native American and 19th-century settlement, and tourism origins.
Tulowiecki’s work also utilizes unconventional “found” data sources, including original land survey records from the 17th to 19th centuries. His dissertation focusedontheimpactsofNativeAmericansettlementontreespecies composition in Chautauqua County, New York, around 1800 CE.
Tulowiecki is a member of the Ecological Society of America and the Association of American Geographers. His teaching interests include GIS, environmental issues, and geospatial and statistical so ware, with future research aimed at applying recent methods in geographic study – such as information retrieval, text mining, and citizen science – to understanding past forest conditions in the Northeast.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* e best way to cook leafy, green veggies such as spinach and kale, is to stir fry them in just the water le over from rinsing. It works very well to steam them, and adds no fat!
* Keep track of capacity and dimension of your cookware by using a permanent marker to notate the specifications on the bottoms of each baking container you have. is way, when a recipe calls for a 13-by-9 baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish, you can easily tell which one you need. is is especially important if you don’t spend a lot of time cooking.
* “When you need to crush nuts or a cracker for crumbs, you can use a small can of soup to crush these in a plastic bag. is is for when you don’t have a rolling pin.” -- J.R. in Virginia

What’s BugGing You?
Mini-Plus Storage Inc.
DID YOU KNOW?
Getting out and about is a vital component of many seniors’ daily lives, but it’s important that aging men and women recognize how much exercise is healthy for them. The Department of Health & Human Services notes that adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy.That mix should be a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which can include golfing, swimming and even gardening, and muscle strengthening activities like weightlifting that make the muscles work harder than usual.The DHHS recommends adults combine 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week with at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that these guidelines are safe for individuals who are 65 and older, generally fit and have no limiting health conditions. Individuals who do not fit that criteria should consult with their physicians before beginning a new exercise regimen, as it’s possible that they could be putting their health at considerable risk if they attempt to follow guidelines designed for people who are generally fit. It’s also important that healthy seniors avoid overdoing it in regard to exercise.Though the DHHS suggestions are the minimum recommendations,going too far beyond those guidelines without first consulting a physician could increase seniors’ risk

ATM Fees local hometown bank
A Big Thank You
The Humane Society of Livingston County would like to thank the Tom Moran Memorial Golf Tournament for choosing us as one recipient of the proceeds from this event. These much needed funds will go towards the care of the cats we take in from our county.
Thank You!
A grateful thank you to the young man from Henrietta who was visiting friends in Caledonia and was at the veggie stand on South Road as we pulled in at the same time. I just wanted 3 ears of corn and did not have exact change, and I was trying to figure out a way of getting change. He was very kind and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them” and proceeded to tell me “They have the best corn [he’s] had” and I must agree! It was delicious! Thank you for being so sweet and paying for my corn.
On Sunday we tried to get money out of our local hometown bank only to find that BOTH the outside and inside ATMs were out of use. Because of this we had to use another bank’s ATM and were charged a $3.75 fee. Now wouldn’t you think that our bank would refund that fee? Wrong! They said no we don’t refund those fees. All our money in this one bank and we can’t access it unless we go elsewhere. This is terrible customer service, and we definitely will not be doing any further loans or business with this bank. I’m sure if I asked a loan officer at this bank, they would refund it, but the tellers won’t. That’s enough for us.
Life on the Lawless [Local Waterway]
Like many local taxpayers, I used to enjoy scenic walks along the public pathways of our [local waterway]. But, this historic landmark has been desecrated in recent years, becoming a racing track for speed boats that soak unsuspecting pedestrians with their massive wakes that splash onto the walkways. I cannot even push my child in a stroller without her being nearly rundown by unlicensed ATVs and dirt-bikes.
STEPS INVOLVED WITH ESTATE PLANNING
Medical directives. In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical condition that precludes you from making decisions about your care and finances. Spouses can be named to make important health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well. If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives and living wills are a necessity.

DID YOU KNOW?
Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.
