WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER
Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.
Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot.
Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

DID YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.
Here’s a Tip
• If you make your own broth, you can freeze cubes in easy-to-measure amounts by using your muffin tin. Measure out broth in half cup or cup amounts, then freeze. When done, pop them out into a freezer-safe baggie.
• Chrome is easily cleaned and shined up with vinegar. Keep a misting bottle in the bathroom to give handles a quick swipe a er getting ready in the morning or evening.
• Ice cream cones with a flat bottom make a great container for cupcakes. Fill cones two-thirds full with batter, bake as directed, and you have cupcake cones! Frost and go!

BY HENRY BOLTINOFFPreowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Organize a tag sale: Garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, and flea markets are great places to find preowned items. Men and women who are both bargainand eco-conscious can organize their own neighborhood sales where several houses around the neighborhood pool their items for one large sale. Bargain hunters can then peruse the collected merchandise and feel good knowing their purchases are benefitting the environment.

How to pack a suitcase: Roll pants and tops, adding to suitcase first, toward the handle side. Then add heavy items (shoes, boots) toward the wheel end. Make sure you choose the right size case for the trip; too much room will cause items to shift around.
SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S
DAY
Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching. This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced considerable turmoil due to the divide between the country’s Protestant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions. Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848.

GThe Frost Process: Cultivating Forests, One White Oak at a Time
BY SUZIE WELLSreece resident, Steven Frost, is a man of many talents and hobbies. A retired elementary school teacher, son of beloved Midlakes High School English teacher, Marilyn Frost, and husband of pastor at Newark’s Park Presbyterian Church, Susan Frost, Steven enjoys archery and bowhunting, as well as turning wood, including making hundreds of magic wands for Harry Potter festivals.
What gives Steven even greater prominence, however, is what’s known as “ e Frost Process” of raising thousands of baby white oak trees he then has given away across the region. His hobby gained the recognition of SUNY Oswego’s Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project, to which 1,400 of his baby white oaks have gone to help.
Steven says he got the “tree bug” from his dad, who was always digging up seedlings and planting them around his property. Steven decided to focus on white oak, because their acorns taste better and the deer, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, and turkey seem to prefer them over the black oak family of red, black, scarlet, and pin oaks.
e white oak family includes white, bur, swamp white, English, and chestnut oak.
“Over a 15-year period with lots of trial and error,” Steven developed a method to start white oak trees from acorns. e process starts by collecting acorns in late August or early September using a Nut Wizard tool.
Each day, he’d collected compost from the school cafeteria, expired salad bar items, le over mashed potatoes, bean dip, pizza, etc. He called this “bio-slime.” He dumped the bio-slime onto his compost pile and rototilled it in. is compost is the medium he then planted the acorns in. No sticks, no stones, and excellent nutrition. And it was free soil that otherwise saved material from the trash.
Bucket lids keep the soil moist so acorns don’t dry out and allow them to be stacked.
In spring when the temps stay above freezing, acorns wake up and sprout baby trees. Chipmunks and squirrels dig up acorns to eat the tender roots and tops, so Steven built cages out of ½” hardware cloth to keep the squirrels out and leaves the cages on until baby trees outgrow the height of the cages, usually in June or July. By that time, the trees don’t smell like acorns anymore and are safe from squirrels.
Oaks grow a tap root that goes straight down. Pots must be deep enough to allow adequate root growth. If planted in a shallow pot, roots grow around the inside of the pot with a weaker root system when the tree is transplanted. Steven was happy to discover that grocery store bakery departments’ icing buckets are perfect for his white oak acorns, 9” square, about 18” deep, with lids. Stores are happy to recycle/donate the empty buckets.
White oak acorns germinate and grow roots as soon as they contact soil in the fall. Roots might grow as long as 4” before cold temps force dormancy. In nature, an acorn gets buried by a squirrel and it becomes part of nature’s food pantry. Acorns that are not dug up nor eaten by deer or squirrels during winter sprout in the spring. Fall leaves and snow serve as insulation and prevent them from freezing and dying.
e biggest contributing factor to success, Steven says, is finding a cold, not freezing environment to store them in until spring. His outside storage space that shared a basement wall is perfect, with enough heat from the basement to keep the space cold but not freezing.
Baby white oaks should be harvested in September, or else the roots will outgrow the bucket. To harvest a bucket, Steven turns the garden hose to jet and sprays around the inside perimeter of the bucket, then dumps out the root/dirt/tree mass. Turning down the hose pressure, he rinses and picks apart roots that have grown together.
He says he usually ends up with 20-25 bare root seedlings 4-12” tall with root systems to match. ese should be planted immediately, within a day or two of harvesting, and the roots cannot dry out. Damp paper towels and plastic wrap help.
Over the years, Steven gave away these baby whites to teachers at his school, and finally a colleague referred him to Dr. Kristen Haynes of SUNY Oswego and the Erie Canal Forest Restoration Project.
Two hundred years ago, the Erie Canal barges were built out of white oak lumber, which meant most white oaks in this part of the country were overharvested. “ e Canal Forest Restoration Project is on a mission to restore the presence of white oak and white pine trees in New York State’s Canal Regions.” ey give away baby trees at events around the state.
Steven’s baby white oaks and his Frost Process have been helpful. Dr. Haynes says Steven “is a true unsung hero of the region and a highly valuable collaborator for our project.”

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
By Keith Roach, M.D.Proton-Pump Inhibitors
Highly Recommended for Barrett’s
Esophagus
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a retired male over 65 and a former occasional cigar smoker. I quit 15 years ago after I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus. I was also a former drinker and quit seven years ago. I regularly completed all the biopsies as required and took my proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) daily as instructed. This year, I read an article about PPIs contributing to dementia and neuropathy, which I have. My primary care physician suggested that I switch to over-the-counter H2 blockers as a safer approach. I developed an irregular heart rhythm and soaring blood pressure. I was then diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib). My stress test and echocardiogram are normal for my age. I am now on some heavyduty beta blockers, blood thinners and a very expensive rhythmcontrol drug.
A book I recently read written by two top cardiologists stated that long-term use of PPIs is dangerous and can cause AFib, but a recent article published by the National Institute of Health states the opposite. I also read that an irritated esophagus stimulates the esophagus nerve and triggers AFib. I’m confused now.
Because Barrett’s vastly increases my chances for getting a very aggressive cancer, doing nothing is not an option. I have already modified and continue to modify my diet, but that only goes so far. And as I’m sure you are aware of, a stroke caused by AFib is often life-threatening.
My complicated question is, which professional approach would you recommend: PPIs or H2 blockers? Is there a third option? -- B.B.
ANSWER: There is not a definitive answer on whether PPIs, like omeprazole, increase the risk of AFib. Studies are potentially confounded by the fact that people with AFib sometimes think they have stomach problems and may take a PPI, leading to a false association between the PPI and AFib. As you say, there have also been studies that suggest a decreased risk of AFib in people who use PPIs.
In my mind, the increased risk of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus as a result of untreated stomach acid reflux in a person with Barrett’s esophagus is the key in this situation, as Barrett’s is a condition where abnormal lining of the esophagus occurs due to years of acid exposure.
I do not believe over-the-counter H2 blockers, like famotidine (Pepcid), are adequate enough to reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, so I advise patients in your situation to use PPIs, despite their known risks.
The data suggesting a risk of dementia are weak. While there might be a small risk, the risk isn’t high enough to avoid using a PPI in a person with Barrett’s. B12 deficiency is absolutely a risk in people taking long-term PPIs. Low B12 can certainly lead to neuropathy, but both can be prevented and treated by testing for B12 deficiency and by getting supplementation, if needed.
I am very glad to hear you are getting routine endoscopic surveillance and biopsies so that any abnormal growth of the esophagus can be identified and treated promptly.

UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA
Dementia presents itself through various symptoms, and memory loss alone is not enough to lead to a dementia diagnosis. Dementia can affect thinking and social abilities, but the Mayo Clinic notes that some dementias may be reversible. The following are some common symptoms of dementia:
• Trouble communicating or finding words.
• Difficulty completing complex tasks.
• Challenges with planning and organization.
• Episodes of confusion and disorientation.
• Memory loss, which is often noticed by a third party.
• Personality changes that can include agitation, anxiety, inappropriate behavior and even hallucinations.
Apart from Alzheimer’s disease, which is a progressive disorder most common in people age 65 and older, there are other types of dementia. The second most common is called “vascular dementia.” This results from damage to vessels that supply blood to the brain. This damage can be the result of stroke, smoking and other blood vessel conditions. Brain imaging can often detect blood vessel problems implicated in vascular dementia. Dementia with Lewy bodies, or DLB, is another dementia that laymen may mistakeforAlzheimer’sdisease.TheAlzheimer’sAssociationnotesthatpeople with DLB often have not only memory loss and cognitive problems common in Alzheimer’s, but they also display initial or early symptoms such as sleep disturbances, well-formed visual hallucinations, slowness, gait imbalance or other Parkinsonian movement features, which can lead to misdiagnosis.

BREAKING DOWN THE LEPRECHAUN MYTH
Some historians believe the myth of the leprechaun has origins in ancient Ireland, when people believed the tiny creatures were among the various inhabitants of fairy forts and fairy rings throughout the Emerald Isle. Another take on the source of the leprechaun myth is that these tiny creatures were modern incarnations of the Euro-Celtic god Lugh, who was the sun god as well as the patron of arts and crafts.

VENT BRIGHTER
As relayed to me:
Smoking areas in parking lots and shopping plazas
On the very busy morning of Sunday, February 18th, at Wegmans Geneseo, an older gentleman’s cashier had rung up his large number of items, and he then discovered that he had forgotten his wallet. As he and the cashier tried to decide what to do, the woman behind him in line handed the cashier her credit card and very, very, generously rescued him. He protested, saying that he lived close by & could easily run home to get his wallet. She refused and just said “Pay it forward.” I’d just like to tell that woman that I have known that man for decades, and he has always been helping others with all kinds of issues, but he was truly surprised, and very grateful, to be on the receiving end that day. I know that he will definitely Pay it Forward.
Everyone smokes in [local] plaza. I walk to the grocery store there almost every day, and there is usually someone standing or sitting someplace smoking. Most employees from [the grocery store] smoke on their breaks and couldn’t care less about the non-smokers like myself who don’t want to smell the smoke. I have to go in the street and almost get run over. Legislation should say “No smoking, vaping, or using tobacco products in all shopping plazas, parking lots, etc.” They are too lax with this issue. The American Cancer Society got involved with [a company] and now they don’t sell cigarettes. However, other stores still sell them, which says it’s okay to smoke. [Another company] has signs in the windows saying “No Smoking,” but inside they sell cigarettes. More should be done.
German War prisoners
The Hometown Story in your January 19th issue reminded me of the experiences we had with German war prisoners. In the early 1940s, my parents contracted with the Heinz Co. to raise tomatoes. My mother, Anna, a German immigrant, and our neighbor’s 20-yr-old daughter drove the truck full of ripe tomatoes to the Hilton facility. My mother did not disclose that she was German when they arrived. As they unloaded the truck, the prisoners commented in German on the attractiveness of the young woman and speculated what she might look like without any clothes. In German, Anna said she would look like any of the girls they had at home. The prisoners were surprised and also happy to hear German. Much discussion followed about where they and she were from in Germany. They were glad the war was over for them and they were in the US rather than Russia. They felt they were treated and cared for quite well but missed family and friends back home.
Well Meaning Efforts with Poor Results
Many local residents are involved in helping feral cat colonies. For those unfamiliar, these people trap feral cats, have them spayed or neutered, and release them back to their colony. Some people provide the colonies with cat food. Their efforts come from their kind and loving hearts. I’ve owned pet cats for 29 years, and I’m ready to take off the rose-colored glasses and admit the feral cat colony concept is not working. Friends directly involved in colony support tell me there are always more cats coming in and restarting the flow of kittens. The constant drain on [humane society]’s resources (and others who offer spaying) is not the best use of funds. Cats are not part of our native ecosystem and the effect on our native bird populations is devastating. Walk outside anywhere and you’ll notice the vast decline in the number of birds. There are many factors against birds, but this is one we can control. This failed experiment needs to be replaced with humane euthanasia for feral cats.
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam MazzottaHomemade Treats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My new puppy’s training is going very well, and he responds very well to rewards of little treats. I worry about feeding him so many processed, store-bought snacks though. What are some natural or homemade alternatives for treats? -- Maggie T., Nashua, N.H.
A: Many alternative recipes for homemade doggie treats are available on the internet and at the bookstore, but the healthiest ones share many common features. is means that you can find quite a few good recipes out there, or develop a few of your own.
Common ingredients in dog treats are meat protein (either from fresh meats, broths or strained baby foods), whole-grain flours (like wheat, oats, corn or rice), eggs and powdered supplements (like brewer’s yeast or garlic). A variety of flavorings can be added, including peanut butter, sugar or molasses, vanilla, salt, and small amounts of cheese or milk. Dry or instant yeast can be added to biscuit-type recipes, to allow the dough to rise before baking.
A popular training asset is liver treats, which can be made fairly easy and which last about four to five days if stored properly (in an airtight container and refrigerated). Chicken livers, eggs and sweetener are pureed, flour or cornmeal is mixed in (some owners add powdered supplements as well) and the mixture is baked, cooled and sliced into bite-size treats.
Certain foods are never safe for dogs, so don’t use any recipe that contains these ingredients: chocolate, onions, raisins/grapes or macadamia nuts. ey seem like fairly innocent foods, but can cause serious health problems in dogs.
Baking and testing these snacks out on your puppy can be a lot of fun. Remember, you can also share recipes with other dog owners and perhaps find the perfect treat for your companion.

Check out local entertainment venuestoseeifthereareanyIrish-inspiredconcertsontap.Ifpossible,find shows geared toward youngsters that encourage them to participate by singing along or dancing as the musicians play.
