I hear garlic is easy to grow around here. Do you have any tips for success?

Those who grow ‘their own’ know that homegrown produce tastes better than those bought at supermarket. This is also true for garlic! Garlic is one of the easiest vegetables to grow if a few critical requirements such as good soil, sufficient moisture, and correct planting and harvesting time are met.

This year’s spring was dry and irrigating the garlic helped greatly to keep it healthy while sizing up the bulbs. The leaf mold mulch we used kept the moisture in until the rains began in June. Coming July, it’s time to harvest your garlic crop!

There are two main types of garlic:

hardneck and softneck. Hardnecks form fewer but bigger cloves located around a hard central stem. The stem develops a curling top called a scape. Softneck garlic forms a higher number of cloves, the bigger ones are on the outside and smaller ones on the inside of the bulb. Softnecks tend to mature a week earlier than hardnecks. If you are growing Softneck Garlic, you need to look and see that at least 50% of it has fallen over and is laying on the ground. Then you know that your softneck garlic is ready to harvest.

Hardneck is usually ready in mid–July. Pull a few plants every few days and cut

a cross section of the bulb. Once you see space forming between the cloves and the central stem, your garlic is ready for harvest.

Harvest by prying up the entire plant with a garden fork or shovel.Don’t shake or bang against the ground, instead, remove the soil by rubbing it off gently with your fingers. Let the bulbs dry off thoroughly in a single layer in the sun on the ground for a couple of days.Hang

or lay them down on shelves, window screens etc. with a good air flow to dry. Clean off when fully dry 2-3 weeks after harvest.This is also time to cut the roots. Keep your garlic in a low humidity, wellventilated location with a temperature of 60 to 65*F.

CCE’s Agriculture Program offers a garlic growing class.Stay tuned for updates coming out soon at https://monroe.cce.cornell.edu/ events.

MAINTAIN SPARKLING CLEAR POOL WATER

Maintaining a satisfactory level of disinfectant will help prevent the multiplication of bacteria and algae in the pool. Many pools are kept clean throughtheuseofchlorineproducts.Theratioofchlorinetowaterneeded to maintain the clarity of the water depends on the size of the pool, the sanitizer used, weather, sunlight and evaporation, and the pH. In many instances, the available free chlorine in a pool when tested should be between 3 and 4 ppm to offer adequate sanitation. Frequent testing will help pool owners gauge how well the pool water is holding chlorine and how to compensate if extra is needed.

HANDYMEN/WOMEN

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.

LAWN & LANDSCAPING

REMEDY LANDSCAPE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS

Gutters and downspouts are designed to move rainwater away from the home. Too often, however, gutters and downspouts become clogged or do not work effectively. Overflowing gutters will transfer rainwater down the side of a home, where it can puddle at the foundation. This water can ultimately suffocate a lawn, and it may cause interior damage to the home as well.

First, inspect and clean all gutters. Leaves, nests, sticks, and even dead animals can block the flow of water in a gutter. Test downspouts by running hose water from the top of the gutter. Downspouts should be pointed away from the home and may need to be extended so they direct water away from the dwelling.

HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE

Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

STAY SAFE IN BRIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS

Weather often contributes to motor vehicle accidents. Snow, rain and other factors that compromise drivers’ vision can make driving hazardous, but there’s a dark side to sunny skies as well.

Glare from the sun can compromise drivers’ vision and lead to driving mishaps, regardless of drivers’ experience or skill level. The sun can pack a powerful punch any time during the day, but can be especially hazardous in the early morning sunrise and late-afternoon sunset.

A 2017 study published in the journal Medicine titled, “Life-threatening motor vehicle crashes in bright sunlight” looked at the risks posed by bright sunlight. Researchers found that the risk of a life-threatening crash was 16 percent higher during bright sunlight than during normal weather. Researchers concluded that bright sunlight may create visual illusions that lead to driver error, including poor distance judgement.

Plentiful sunlight is often a hallmark of spring and summer, but sun-blindness is a real concern for drivers. As anyone who has turned into blazing sun only to discover their windshield has been rendered opaque by sun glare can attest, driving on sunny days can be challenging. Unfortunately, the sun might create substantial glare during rush hour, making driving during these times more dangerous and accidents more likely.

RV BUYERS’ GUIDE

Usage frequency: When considering an RV, think about how often it will be used and where it will be stored when not in use. Garage storage may be challenging on a larger rig, and some housing communities frown upon parking RVs in driveways. This may affect the size you choose as well as the features you need, according to KOA, the RV camp site leader.

BECOMING MORE ATTRACTIVE TO AUTO LENDERS

It is common for consumers to spend months researching and saving for new vehicles. But many auto buyers do not put the same amount of effort into finding auto loans. That’s unfortunate, as Consumer Reports notes that those who do not have financing arranged before visiting a dealership may not get the best loan terms.

Prior to buying a vehicle, drivers should give consideration to how they appear in the eyes of creditors. Few if any people pay for cars or trucks in full at the time of purchase. As a result, it’s key for buyers to make themselves as attractive as possible in lenders’ eyes.

Improving credit score: Lenders use consumers’ credit scores to determine how likely they will be to honor the terms of a potential loan. Consumers’ FICO® scores are the type of credit score most often used to make lending decisions. FICO scores range between 300 and 850. The higher the score, the lower the risk to lenders. However, lenders do not necessarily use the same formula to assess risk.

The first step potential borrowers should take is figuring out what their credit score is, and what information is on their credit report. For those who haven’t done so already, they can request a free copy of their credit reports from the three major credit monitoring bureaus.

Once credit reports are obtained, consumers can work to correct any mistakes or inconsistencies. Some of these may be simple fixes, while others may take some effort. A 2012 study from the Federal Trade Commission found that one in five consumers had an error on at least one of their credit reports.

Consumers also can improve their credit scores by doing the following:

• Make payments on time, as payment history can have the greatest effect on a bad credit score, according to Credit.com.

• Reduce debt by paying off balances on credit cards or other loans.

• Obtain a mix of different credit sources, such as those in the form of credit cards, furniture financing, home ownership, and auto loans. This, too, can raise credit scores and make borrowers appear less risky.

• Keep old credit accounts open, as they establish a strong credit history. Try not to open too many new accounts in a short period of time.

Borrowers with strong credit will be attractive to lenders and will have more loan options at their disposal.

DID YOU KNOW?

Prospective real estate investors who hope to buy, hold and rent out their investment properties should first interview potential property managers before buying homes. While it’s possible to find property managers willing to manage single-family homes or duplexes, the financial resource Bankrate.com notes that many property managers prefer to manage large apartment complexes instead. Managing properties is hard work, and without skilled property managers on their side, real estate investors may become overwhelmed by the responsibilities of taking care of their real estate investments while simultaneously trying to maintain their own residences. Before buying investment properties, prospective real estate investors should interview various local property managers or property management firms, inquiring about their fees and what is included in those fees. If the cost of hiring property managers drastically cuts into the profits investors hoped to make off their investment properties, they might be better off looking to invest their money in areas other than real estate. Prospective investors can compare the potential return on investment after the cost of property managers has been factored in to the return they might get from more traditional investments to determine if investing in real estate is a sound financial decision.

Here’s a tip

My father taught me all I know about working the grill -- even though it was his job! One tip that’s served me best is this simple beauty: Let the meat sear before you move it. Give it a chance to cook on one side well enough that it li s away from the grill. If it’s sticking, you probably need to leave it alone! Happy grilling.

“Kitchen stores sell grill brushes, but they can be expensive. I use a good-quality paintbrush from the hardware store for grilling only, and replace it a couple of times throughout grilling season. I nd it to be a better brush, and less expensive to boot!” -- B.F. in Illinois

Your grilled meats will be more moist and taste better if you let them rest for a few minutes a er you take them o the grill. It allows the meat to redistribute the natural juices. If you are worried about temperature, just cover the meat with foil.

Heart Attacks Occur After Treatment of Infections

DEAR DR. ROACH: My mom had a throat and palate infection that was treated in 2017, and about two weeks later, she had a heart attack. In 2023, she had pneumonia, and was briefly hospitalized and treated, but again about two weeks later, she had another heart attack. We asked her cardiologist if there is a relationship between either the infections themselves or the treatment of infections and heart attacks, but he was not aware of any. This seems too unlikely to be a coincidence. What is your experience on this? -- A.C.S.

ANSWER: A heart attack happens when the demand for blood from the heart is greater than the ability of the blood vessels can provide. In practice, this almost always means that there are blockages in the blood vessels. However, an increase in the workload of the heart, such as strenuous exercise or an infection (fever tends to increase heart rate, and the blood flow from the heart usually increases with serious infection), can be what leads a person to have a heart attack. It’s possible that this is what happened with your mom. The timing of two weeks after the event is longer than expected, but it’s possible. Whether from chronic infection or inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the blood increases the risk of heart disease in the long term, so if there is a connection, and it’s not just coincidental, that would be the most likely cause. ***

DEAR DR. ROACH: You wrote about the dangers of testosterone replacement in men over 70 in your column a few months ago. Could you please describe the dangers of this again?

My husband is 73 and injects testosterone every 10 days or so. He’s not feeling too well overall, but he doesn’t know why. He’s been to the cardiologist, but the studies came back fine. He says he feels nerves in his stomach and a bit of shortness of breath. He’s also tired and without much energy. -- E.D.

ANSWER: There are clear dangers with excess testosterone use, especially in older men. Some men use very high doses of testosterone or other androgens for muscle building, and this can cause heart damage, blood clots and stroke. I strongly do not recommend doing this, but it is generally used illicitly. By contrast, for men in whom testosterone therapy is given appropriately, the dangers are quite small, and in most men, the benefits outweigh the risks. Men should have a clear reason to receive testosterone therapy, such as having low bone density, low libido, loss of body hair, or development of breast tissue, in addition to repeatedly low testosterone levels (including a level taken between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. when testosterone levels are highest). In these men, the goal is to stabilize the testosterone level, and the risks of the catastrophic outcomes listed above appear to be very small, or even zero. Testosterone levels should also be measured during therapy. I can’t speculate on the cause behind your husband’s symptoms. Nonspecific symptoms, such as low energy, can be caused by low testosterone, but unless there are more specific symptoms of low testosterone, I generally do not recommend testosterone replacement.

DON’T LET SUNBURN DERAIL SUMMER FUN

Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health. That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside.

Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than one-third of adults and nearly 70 percent of children admit to suffering from sunburn within the past year. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.

Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. According to WebMD, ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers. It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, it is best for people of all ages to exercise caution when spending time in the sun.

Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn is simple.

Chicken is generally lower in saturated fat than other animal protein sources. Opt for pasture-raised chicken for the greatest nutritional punch.

A BEACON THROUGH TIME: Visit Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse for National Lighthouse Day

BY ELIJAH ROBINSON

In honor of Lighthouse Day, August 7th, let’s shine a light on a Rochester landmark and national treasure: the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse, America’s oldest surviving lighthouse on Lake Ontario.

ere is a long history behind this lighthouse we may overlook. According to lighthousefriends.org, President Je erson declared in 1804 that the 70-mile stretch along the southern shore of Lake Ontario from Oak Orchard to Sodus Bay, would become a port district centered at the Genesee River and the lake. Rochester, which had access to three waterfalls, became a vital our-milling center six miles south of the port and Charlotte.

Torches on large pilot trees or lamps atop the region’s rst hotels used to guide ships entering the port. However, with the sandbars on the marshy river entrance, entry to the river proved challenging for ships. Along with land development to help ship tra c, lighting options were discussed.

A four-acre plot of land was purchased by recently widowed Mehitabel Hincher for $400 in 1821 for the construction of a lighthouse. e lighthouse contract, including a tower, a 20x34 foot two-room keeper’s cottage, and a well, was awarded to Ashbel Symons in 1822, and Symon’s construction team took seven months to complete it at a cost of $3,301. Improvements have been made to the lighthouse and keeper’s house over the years, including a rotating lens to distinguish its light from nearby beacons for mariners in 1852, and electri cation in 1917.

e United States eventually sold the lighthouse and home in 1981, and Monroe County purchased them. In 1984, students from a local high school constructed the lighthouse’s top we see today. e Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse Historical Society was founded in 1983 to preserve and maintain the tower (1822), the Keeper’s House (1863), and the historic acreage as an educational center, open to the public, where residents and visitors can learn the history of the City of Rochester’s maritime heritage.

e US Coast Guard retrieved the fourth-order Fresnel lens the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse had borrowed in 2011 to send to go on display in Black River Landing’s lobby of the Lorain Port Authority because the lens previously served at Lorain Lighthouse in Ohio. Using funds provided by an anonymous donor, Artworks Florida ordered a replica Fresnel for Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse. To repair the brick collar that supported the lantern room, it was removed before the new xed fourthorder lens was installed. About six weeks later, the lantern room was hoisted back atop the lighthouse on September 25, 2014.

Lighting in the lamp room today is a recreation of what was once inside the lighthouse. e Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse is now an o cial Coast Guard lighthouse. e Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse has stood as a guardian of Lake Ontario for centuries. From its humble beginnings in the early 19th century to its enduring presence as a historic icon, the lighthouse has witnessed the evolution of maritime navigation and the changing tides of history. Today, it remains a symbol of perseverance, guiding both ships and admirers through the annals of time. Visitors can enjoy amazing views from the top of the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse throughout the season, though it is notable that the spiral staircase within the lighthouse is tight. Visits to the lighthouse start in the museum located in what was the Keeper’s House. e museum showcases exhibits on lighthouses, Charlotte’s history, as well as maritime travels and trade. Check out the current additional exhibit on local women involved in the su rage movement.

Happy National Lighthouse Day, Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse and friends who help keep its heritage alive.

Thank you to two Good Samaritans

A huge thank you to two separate men who each helped an elderly gentlemen climb down from the bleachers on the two nights of the Tractor Pull at the Hemlock Fair. Each of them noticed he was having trouble and offered to help him. Special Blessings to them both.

3rd of July Fireworks

Many thanks to Dave Pietrowski and family for providing Vitale Park and the north end of the lake with an outstanding fireworks display again this 3rd of July! He contributes a portion of the donations to the Warrior Salute Program.

Kia and Hyundai Thefts

With thefts of Kias and Hyundais on the rise, what can be done to stop this? Here’s my idea; If banks can place exploding dye packets in bags of money, why can’t a similar device be placed in vehicles? Safe for the owners but explode when attempts are made to steal a vehicle. Thus the criminals can be located. Simple idea.

Only Mean People Don’t Love Dogs!

In response to the senior citizens who “really doesn’t know why people insist on bringing their dogs” to music in the park. It is because they are beloved members of the family. Just as you might bring a grandchild, others love their dogs and want to share good times with them and enrich their furry family members’ lives by including them in activities. If the presence of anyone else, human or canine, bothers you, there’s always the option of staying home. Please don’t begrudge others enjoying themselves. Live and let live… and don’t whine. Nobody likes a whiner.

National Day 8.7.23

LIGH HOUSE

While lighthouse technology has evolved over time, lighthouses were once widely used to mark dangerous reefs, shorelines or harbors. Today, we imagine how a lighthouse’s beacon of light offered hope to those seeking land in the midst of stormy seas and dark nights.

Wondering how to celebrate National Lighthouse Day?

Help preserve and protect a lighthouse by making a small donation to The American Lighthouse Foundation.

Paint or color a lighthouse and give your picture to that relative who has a collection of lighthouse postcards!

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* Prior to becoming America’s 38th president, Gerald Ford had a side gig as a model. In 1942, shortly after joining the Navy, he landed an uncredited spot on the cover of Cosmopolitan in his uniform.

* Scotland has 421 words for snow.

* Tickling has been divided into two types. Knismesis refers to “light featherlike” tickling, and gargalesis refers to “harder laughter-inducing” tickling.

Know security rules. Check with the airline for confirmation, but the TSA generally allows formula, breast milk, and juice in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in carry-on baggage. It does not need to fit within a quart-sized bag. Remove these items from your carry-on bag to be screened separately from the rest of your belongings.

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.

COMMON GRILLING MISTAKES

Forgetting to preheat: Preheating the grill ensures that foods will cook quickly and as evenly as possible. Otherwise, meats can lose moisture and even stick to cooler grates. Reader’s Digest suggests preheating to between 350 F and 450 F depending on the food.
