HOST A SUCCESSFUL YARD SALE

Price things reasonably It’s tempting to overprice items, but a good rule of thumb is to mark things for one-half to one-third of the original value. Be open to negotiation, but try to haggle with a “buy one get one” approach, rather than marking down the price considerably. After all, the goal is to get rid of as many items as possible, with financial gain a distant second.

MAKE EASTER EGGS LAST

Families gather on Easter to participate in many different traditions that have been passed down through time. One such tradition is coloring Easter eggs. Millions of eggs are harvested and sold this time of year to be included in Easter festivities. However, soon after egg hunts have been completed and family dinners are brought to the table, those colored eggs may be relegated to the trash. When colored with foodgrade dyes, such as those manufactured and readily available around Easter, the eggs remain safe to eat. Colored eggs that are stored in a refrigerator can last up to a week if their shells remain intact. Peeled eggs may last up to five days, says the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service. Once eggs are boiled and dyed, they should be promptly put into the refrigerator to keep them fresh and edible. It’s adviseable to use plastic, wood or papier-mâché eggs for Easter egg hunts, as eggs made of such materials will not spoil. Otherwise, hide and refrigerate hardboiled eggs if this task can be completed within two hours. After that time frame, the eggs have the potential to spoil. By eating colored eggs, you can reduce waste and add a tasty appetizer to Easter meals.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Flea onslaught strikes early in the season

DEAR PAW’S CORNER:

my cat Flicker is already scratching himself silly with fleas! He has terrible skin reactions to flea bites. How can I get rid of them?

-- Jesse B., Oak Ridge, Tennessee

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie

Winborne

DEAR JESSE: Flea infestations are awful, aren’t they? As the seasons change and the weather warms up, flea activity rises, and pet owners start seeing more evidence of fleas on their pets and around their homes.

Fleas aren’t just annoying. ey can carry diseases that are transmissible to pets and humans. Tapeworms and cat scratch disease are just two of the potential ills that a flea infestation can bring into your home.

Tackle a flea problem head-on, and don’t wait -- because it will continue to get worse as the summer approaches.

Because of Flicker’s allergic reaction to flea bites, he needs direct treatment to repel fleas and prevent them from latching on to his fur again. Talk to his veterinarian about the most effective flea treatments. For example, a monthly or quarterly topical flea treatment may be a good option. Oral medication -- as pills or chewables -- is also very effective. e vet may also recommend medication to clear up his current skin issues.

Reduce the risk of another flea infestation by making your home difficult for fleas to exist in.

--Have your home treated for fleas by a pest control service.

--Pick up clutter from the floor and replace any plush or feltedtoys with new ones.

--Vacuum twice a week to pick up fleas and their eggs.

--Repair or replace damaged window and door screens.

--Remove any debris piles near your home, and shi wood piles farther away.

REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME

One of the most popular methods of reducing radon concentrations involves a process called active soil depressurization, or ASD. This is a cost-effective and reliable technique to reduce radon that involves capturing the radon from beneath a building before it can enter the dwelling. A venting system draws the radon gas from the soil beneath the foundation and exhausts it outside of the building - far away from windows and other home openings. A continuously operating fan draws and discharges the radon outdoors.

Radon that has infiltrated water supplies may require other removal methods. Such methods may require spraying water into a contained air space, introducing air bubbles into the water or storing water in a tank until the radon has decayed. Another method employs granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove radon from the water. The GAC method has been more widely tested and is more commonly used in individual homes, according to the EPA.

HOME HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

THIS SPRING, IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASS FISHING -AND YOUR BASIC GEAR FIND THE RIGHT PANTS. Spring days on the water are usually an all-day event, and call for versatility in your clothing. To that point, pants that convert to shorts are ideal. Like shirts, pants should be stain-resistant.Additionally,the pants should have plenty of pockets (with zippers) to carry anything extra. If you don’t have access to a boat or dock, extend your fishing range with a good pair of fishing waders.

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.

Soundproof Your Home

PAVING & SEALING

What’s the first step in sound proofing your home? Finding which rooms have the least amount of sound resistance.

To do this, make sure everyone is out of the house, unplug all electronics and close all doors and windows. Take a quick walk through your house and pause for a few moments in each room to evaluate which ones are the noisiest. Now consider if you’re installing a media room or teenage recreational room where volumes will be blasting on TV’s and stereos.

With this information, you should have a good idea of where you need to soundproof and create barriers against noise. Here are some tips to help you achieve the optimal result of peace and quiet:

• Plant trees and hedges along the exterior of your home, perhaps along a fence. Not only do trees and hedges help with the environment and provide a good amount of privacy, they also slow down the travel of noise from the neighborhood into your home.

• Insulate your walls and ceilings. Better insulation in your interiors and exteriors won’t just drive away excess noise, it will also reduce your heating and cooling bills during the hot and cold months.

• Seal up all cracks and holes around windows and doors, and add double glazed windows to your current glass panes.

HOW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ARE HELPING THE DEAF

Cochlear implants

The NDC notes that cochlear implants are electronic devices that are surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. Cochlear implants utilize electrodes placed in the cochlea, or inner ear, to stimulate the auditory nerve of individuals who have substantial and permanent hearing loss.

The NDC reports that cochlear implants are not necessarily ideal for everyone with significant hearing loss. That’s because no two brains are the same, and it’s difficult to predict how well a given person’s brain will interpret the new auditory signals the implant is sending. In addition, the NDC notes that certain types of hearing loss cannot be remedied with cochlear implants.

THE MEANING BEHIND EASTER SYMBOLS

Easter eggs: While Easter eggs may seem like a secular symbol of Easter, their connection to Easter dates back many centuries. CatholicCulture. org notes that the early Christians saw the egg as symbolic of the tomb out of which Christ emerged when he was resurrected. Early Christians even painted Easter eggs, much like parents do with their children today, and even had them blessed and gave them as gifts. Historians believe King Edward I of England, who ruled from 1272 to 1307, dyed boiled eggs and gave them to members of his royal household on Easter.

Here’s a Tip

* What’s the best way to keep sheet sets together? Tuck all the pieces in a matching pillowcase, of course.

* Need to hull strawberries? Try using a straw. You position the straw at the bottom of the strawberry, then push up toward the stem. It works quickly and well.

* If you mount a magnet strip in your bathroom or on your vanity, you can use it to hold bobby pins or metal barrettes. Or mount a ribbon to hold all kinds of hair clips.

* If your entertainment electronics have a clock that is too bright, cover it with plain tape. You will still be able to read the time, but the tape will lessen the glare.

Birthday celebration thank you

Please don’t close so much

On behalf of 14 women at lunch on March 20 celebrating the birthdays of two special individuals at [a] restaurant in Mt. Morris, we thank you for the generous gesture of paying for our meals. Your act of kindness truly warmed our hearts and made the celebration even more memorable and has left a lasting impression on all of us. Thank you!

From - The Birthday Club

Fantastic County Rehabilitation Facility

We live in [local town] and love our library. We’re always there for books, art exhibits and different programs. However, lately they often close for a day or longer for various reasons. This past weekend they were closed all day Friday and all day Saturday for an indoor miniature golf tournament which was a fundraiser for the library. It’s also not unusual for them to close for a full day for staff training. For holidays they frequently close for two days. These closings are in my opinion excessive and inconvenience many, many people. When it’s time to vote for the library budget, I always go and vote yes. I may rethink that.

Words alone cannot express our thanks to the staff of Livingston County [rehab facility]. My roommate was there for over a month and is now walking. A big thanks to the nurse on the rehab floor, the cleaning dept., the physical therapy dept., and Mike and Erica, were all wonderful! The cafeteria staff, Mike, the food was awesome and they were very courteous. Livingston [rehab facility] was a wonderful place; the staff upon arrival was like old family with their greetings. We also had to use their transportation to go to Rochester to the doctor. Robbie and Holly were awesome on the Mobile Medical. We highly recommend this place. Again, we say a big Thank you! Keep up the great job. We love you all. God Bless You all. Always remember you're never fully dressed until you wear a smile. Thanks again! ~John and

Tipping in restaurants

Some restaurants are starting to add a line on your bill to tip the kitchen. Tips are for the servers. Period! The OWNERS should pay their Cooks, Chefs and Cleaners appropriately. With our economy, costs and prices are out of control. I feel it’s absurd to “bleed” your patrons. Some checks have a pre-set tip or an extra line to add a tip but you are on the spot if you choose not to. When I see this, I WON’T RETURN, spreading the word about that restaurant.

Empowering Girls Through Worth More Nation: The Inspiring Journey of Sandy Arena

BY LORI BRUTON

“You can get wrapped up in yourself, but when you serve others, you find joy.” – Sandy Arena

In a world where self-centeredness o en prevails, Sandy Arena stands as a beacon of selflessness and empowerment. Overcoming her own struggles, Sandy has transformed her life into a message of hope and a ministry of empowerment. Now happily married with three children, Sandy was recognized in 2009 as one of the 175 Empowered Women in Rochester by the Rochester Genesee Valley Club. Her journey from childhood sexual abuse trauma and years of instability to becoming a celebrated advocate for young girls is a testament to the transformative power of faith and determination.

Sandy went to school for communications and worked in journalism a er college. She is an author and freelance writer, as well as photographer, filmmaker, and former fitness instructor. But her true calling lies in being a mentor and cheerleader for young girls impacted by foster care and trauma. Recognizing the crucial need for these girls to realize their selfworth for their well-being and their future, Sandy founded Worth More Nation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering them through fashion and pageantry.

For Sandy, “Empowerment is finding your inner sparkle and inner power. Some of us do less than we can. We are not rising to our God-given destinies because we are stuck. We don’t see ourselves as God sees us. Empowerment is seeing yourself differently, and you do have the power to achieve and walk into the destiny you’ve been created for.”

rough sharing her own story of healing and resilience, she inspires others to see themselves differently and embrace their potential. Sandy appreciates the power of storytelling through movement and opened a faith-based dance school when her daughter was 13 (and her daughter took over the school a er college). Sandy wrote Yahweh Ballet: Learning to Dance by Faith, and produced the film, Arise Sweet Sarah, about early child loss, abortion, and adoption. Sandy reflects that she’s thankful her husband’s biological mother chose adoption, or else the Arena family would not exist today.

Worth More Nation events require community service and girls to stand for a cause they value. Sandy’s own daughter completed 2500 hours of community service in her ten years in the pageant. Pageants build confidence, with encouragers writing compliments for each girl on stage, and the girls take home a packet of compliments from the event.

Every girl is crowned Miss Worth More Nation, receives a banner, and is fitted for a gown and cocktail dress at the organization’s Fancy Frock Closet, full of donated prom, homecoming, mother-of-thebride, and wedding gowns. Participants attend a Queens’ luncheon with upli ing speakers, gi bags, and giveaways. Every girl has the opportunity to feel beautiful and confident, regardless of their background.

At these pageants, Sandy collaborates with her daughter’s dance company to create immersive experiences that blend storytelling with fashion at these pageants, further amplifying the message of empowerment.

Sandy Arena’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and service. Her dedication to empowering young girls and fostering a community of support and encouragement is not just admirable but essential in today’s world. As she continues to watch these girls blossom and thrive, Sandy’s legacy of empowerment grows stronger with each life she touches.

For more information about Worth More Nation and Sandy’s work, visit worthmorenation.com, sandyarena.com, lifeworkmedia.org, or call or text Sandy at 585-350-9012.

Sandy also reflects that she experienced such unstable times when she should have been in foster care, and she wants to give the second book she is currently writing, I’m Not at Girl Anymore, to the girls she works with to let them know God helped heal her.

Worth More Nation helps girls rise up and find their voices. Every girl is celebrated as a queen, receiving not just a crown, but also a sense of validation and encouragement. Mentors share their own stories of triumph over trauma and remind the girls that their voices matter and they are not alone in their journey.

Lone Star Tick Bites Cause Alpha-Gal Syndrome

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was recently diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome (AGS). I live in the country, but I do not remember having a tick on me. My husband and I are very cautious and always check for them. I am struggling to understand what exactly are my symptoms, and what I can and cannot eat. I don’t know if I am someone who can have dairy or not.

The biggest challenge seems to be eating out. If I order chicken, fish or vegetables and they are cooked on the same grill as meat, then they are not safe to eat due to cross contamination. Also, dairy, lard and whey are in many food items.

Is there a specialist I should consult? My doctor seems to know about some of this, but is unable to answer many of my questions. Any information you can share would be helpful. -- S.N.

ANSWER: AGS is an allergy to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, a carbohydrate allergen found in all mammalian meats, such as beef, pork and lamb. The allergy can be serious as people develop symptoms, including various syndromes like skin itching and rashes; gastrointestinal symptoms; and even anaphylaxis, a severe allergy syndrome of cardiovascular collapse.

These reactions are delayed compared to other typical allergic responses, with people often developing symptoms the night after consuming meat -- about two to six hours after consumption. A blood test for alpha-gal allergies can confirm the diagnosis.

These symptoms usually begin after getting bitten multiple times by a Lone Star tick. The tick has alpha-gal in its saliva, which triggers the sensitivity. Many medical professionals are unaware of this newly described condition (40% reported never having heard of the syndrome), which can prevent a diagnosis from being made in a timely fashion.

Because the condition is new, there are some factors that we don’t really understand about it, like why some people tolerate muscle meat from an animal but react strongly to organ meat. There just aren’t answers to some of the questions that you might be asking. For example, milk, whey and gelatin sensitivity have been described with AGS, but not lard (at least that I could find).

Sometimes a person tolerates cooked meat but is intolerant of raw (or barely cooked) meat. Some people lose the allergy over time (usually a few years), but additional tick bites may bring it back.

The ideal specialist in this case is an allergist. You should certainly have and know how to use an epinephrine injector in case of a severe reaction.

***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* In 1862, the King of Siam offered Abraham Lincoln many elephants on the grounds that a “country as great as the United States should not be without elephants.” President Lincoln politely declined.

* “Digging a hole to China” is theoretically possible if you start in Argentina.

* A flower that smells like chocolate? Yep, but you’ll have to limit your enjoyment of this dark-red Mexican native to sniffing, as the “cosmos atrosanguineus,” or “chocolate cosmos,” isn’t edible.

Why is Easter ca ed Easter? The christening of the holiday as ‘Easter’ is believed to have originated from the name of a goddess in England, Eostre, who was celebrated at the begi ing of spring before Christ’s time.

What does the word Easter mean?

Another theory su ests that the word ‘Easter’ originated from the German word for ‘East,’ also meaning dawn.
