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.

Complex Jargon Prevents Patient From Understanding Diagnosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: After many bouts of pain in my left leg, I was referred for an MRI. They diagnosed me with left lumbar radiculitis, spondylolisthesis and lumbar spondylosis. There are many people in my independent living facility who have gotten similar diagnoses. As an RN with a master’s in nursing education, I have a question: When the diagnoses are made, do doctors not explain the problem in layman’s terms? I only found out what my list of diagnoses were from a physical therapist, to whom I was referred. -- N.F.P.

ANSWER: Doctors certainly should explain their diagnoses in language appropriate for their patients. We can forget that the language we use is sometimes incomprehensible, but that’s not an excuse. A patient should always feel comfortable in saying they don’t understand a diagnosis, or any other word or phrase their doctor uses, and ask for more explanation. Many of the most effective communicators I have seen not only ask the patient whether they understood, but have made sure their patient can explain it back to them. In your case, these specific diagnoses are generally not well-known by nonexperts, and I am disappointed that they did not give you an explanation. Lumbar radiculitis is essentially sciatica -- it’s an inflammation of the large bundle of nerve roots, which usually causes pain down the leg into particular locations, based on which nerves are being affected. It is not a specific diagnosis, as it doesn’t say what is causing the damage to the nerves. Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra overlaps another one below it (front to back, not side to side). Very mild spondylolisthesis will not cause any symptoms, but more severe cases can cause damage to the nerve roots. Spondylosis of the lumbar vertebrae is a nonspecific term signifying degeneration of the spine, usually due to osteoarthritis and often including degeneration of the disks in between the vertebrae. So, these diagnoses together suggest that you have osteoarthritis of the spine, along with a displacement of one vertebra over another, causing damage to the nerve roots of the spine. These conditions would be likely to cause the back and leg pain you have on your left side.

When is too early to plant directly outside? How do I protect my early plants from the frost we may very well still have?

There are at least three reasons for waiting until at least mid-May for planting young plants outdoors unprotected: you want to avoid too cold weather, you want the soil to be warm enough, and you want your plants to be big and tough enough to survive. A covering like a cloth sheet can prevent frost from damaging plants if the soil is warm, but if the temperature falls below freezing, the plants are still likely to die.

The average freeze date is the end of April. Soil temperature at planting time should

Sponsored by:

be at least 50°. Your young plants should have at least three sets of leaves, and they need to get “hardened off” with gradual exposure to outdoor conditions of sun, wind, and changing temperatures. Often there is no frost after mid-May, but you need to check the long-range weather forecast before planting: the nighttime low temperature should be above 40°; 50° is even better for most young plants. Plants including broccoli, lettuce, and other greens and root vegetables can be planted outside in late April, while warm weather plants like tomatoes and squash need to wait.

A cold frame could enable you to start your plants outdoors. You could buy one, or some people build their own.

HOW TO CONSERVE WATER AT HOME

Conservation is an essential component of an eco-friendly lifestyle. Conserving the planet’s natural resources can have a profound impact on the planet, and conserving at home is a great way for men and women to get the ball rolling on their conservation efforts.

One of the most effective ways to conserve at home is to reduce water consumption. Few people give much thought to how much water they consume at home, as water bills tend to be considerably lower than other utilities like energy and phone. But even if efforts to conserve water at home may not make a dramatic impact on monthly utility bills, many measures can go a long way toward preserving one of the planet’s most precious resources.

A Brief Glimpse into the Mind and Inspiration that is Churchville Poet, Jerri Lynn Sparks

BY SUZIE WELLS

Irst met Jerri een years ago when I included one of her treasured stories in a collection I published. I love Jerri’s raw, honest writing style as well as her treatment of all things human. It inspires me to continue to see the beauty and the value in the little things around us. So of course, as National Poetry Month approached, I knew I needed to feature her poetic insight. Let’s get a glimpse into the mind of Jerri Lynn Sparks:

When did you start writing poetry?

Age 7, 2nd grade, written in response to my parents arguing. I was in bed, grabbed paper and pencil, and was lled with passion as I wrote under the covers by ashlight. I then marched to the living room and thrust the poem between them. It ended their argument and started my poetry journey.

What is a favorite teacher/mentor/moment in your poetic journey?

Mrs. Propst, my 2nd grade teacher, allowed me to stretch out on the oor in class and write my poems on door-sized paper. I sketched an accompanying image, and she posted it as a door cover. I guess that was my rst art and poetry exhibit.

Where do you ‘ nd’ inspiration?

Birds, frost, the ocean, lakes, rivers and creeks; the sexy jawline of a stranger across the crowd at a concert; a ower newly opening its petals in spring; a bee crawling into a tulip. It’s easier to ask what doesn’t inspire me (taxes and tra c). A lot of times, I write from a broken heart, or when feeling frustration, anger, or social unrest. I nd when I’m happy, I’m too busy being happy to write very much. I sometimes write when inspired by beauty in nature or when newly in love or lust, detangling the di erence between the two feelings.

How would you describe your writing habits?

Sporadic, stolen moments, o en jotted down on napkins stu ed in the console. I drive on long road trips and am inspired during hours of music and thoughts, so a poem or phrase will pop into my mind and I pull over and write it down. So if you see me on the side of the road in my car, I’m not stranded, just landed...on a line. I save all versions to play with; V1, V2, VOMGwillSHEeverFINISHthisPOEM.

What are your favorite topics or themes to write about?

Unrealized things I’d hoped for: love and loss, renewal, redemption, forgiveness, resolve, rebirth, transformation, sex and love, a bit of anger that leads to change or justice, coming out stronger and better, ALL the passionate feelings.

What are your favorite/greatest accomplishments as a writer/ poet/human being?

My Ten Good ings About e Rain poetry collection and my domestic violence survival memoir, Surviving Madmen. I love sharing poetry and having others share with me. At UCLA once at a party in the hills of Mulholland overlooking the city, about a dozen of us students had an outdoor dinner party. e 405 looked like a shimmering gold and diamond river. When it came my turn to wish our friend happy birthday, I recited Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” Not a dry eye at the table, and I still remember over 20 years later.

What role does creative writing and/or poetry play in everyday life?

It gives my life deeper feeling, more poignancy. e other night, my two oldest sons were home for dinner and a er dinner we sat by the re talking. I asked them if they remembered when they were little that I’d o en make up bedtime stories. ey both said they did and smiled. I asked if they wanted me to do that again and they said yes. So, I made up a story about birds and a struggle. ey loved it. at is the magic of storytelling.

What advice would you give an aspiring writer?

ONLY write your truth. Don’t try to write to please others. Be bold and brave. To hell with appeasement.

e Bird Cage

By Jerri Lynn Sparks

e bird cage is empty as it sits perched on the edge of my life and possibility guarding my sparse house and my sparse life but it holds so much

Hope in its slim white ribs so spare but so strong a whole world can t inside

I gaze at the expanse between the narrow bars and wonder as the wind blows freely in and out of its con nes designed for restraint but destined to hold only freedom as long as it is mine…

It’s the same way with my heart and with any love I’ve ever given free owing with spaces between the structure of what holds us together

Inside my chest my heart beats up against my slim white rib cage holding so much so spare but so strong a whole world can t inside

SENIOR NEWS

Living Long Lives in the Blue Zones

In several parts of the world there are large populations that regularly live into their 90s and even pass 100 years. ey’re called Blue Zones, those parts of the world where seniors live longer, healthier lives. It started as a National Geographic project to look for the secrets to longevity. ey were able to identify ve locations: Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; and Okinawa, Japan.

Fascinated scientists began to study these over-100 people and concluded that they had nine commonalities. ey are:

• e Blue Zoners move and exercise naturally, working in gardens and going about their lives with frequent walks.

• ey have a purpose to each day.

• ey do what they must to avoid stress. Some pray, some have happy hour, some take naps, but they intentionally do something.

• ey follow Confucius’ rule to stop eating when they’re 80% full, and don’t eat late at night.

• ey belong to a faith-based community of some kind.

• ey put loved ones rst and o en live with or near family members.

• e people around them are engaged in similar healthy behaviors.

To read the study about the Blue Zones, go online to www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov, select PubMed from the dropdown menu and put “Blue Zones” in the search box. Look for the authors Buettner D, Skemp S. e heading includes “Lessons from the World’s Longest Lived.”

ere is hope for all of us to extend our lives if we incorporate some of what those in the Blue Zones have to teach us.

Did You Know? If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiffness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. This type of arthritis can develop slowly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psoriatic arthritis tends to go through periods of flare-up and remission. Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients. Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis will not necessarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exercise, and complementary therapies.Those who have psoriasis and have begun to experience joint pain and stiffness should talk to a doctor about potential therapies.

Adopting an Older Cat Can Bring Unexpected Issues

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We recently adopted a 12-year-old orange tomcat. Abel is neutered and well behaved, but he has some health issues that we didn’t bargain for. He’s overweight (we’re working on it) and recently needed a tooth pulled. He gets ear and eye infections frequently. I’m not about to give him up, but I wanted others to know that a senior cat o en has more medical needs than younger cats. e tradeo is that he’s a sweet, gentle cat, well adapted to humans, and seems less inclined to escape from the house than a younger cat might. -- Kelly B., Salt Lake City

DEAR KELLY: ank you for sharing your experience! Abel sounds like a wonderful cat.

Senior cats, age 11 to 14, do need extra monitoring. ey o en have health issues speci c to older cats, and can be more susceptible to infections, bad teeth, etc. Pretty much all the same issues humans face as we grow old!

As you’ve noted, Abel’s diet is really important. Not just to lose weight and keep it o , but to make sure he’s getting the right nutrition for a senior cat. A cat food formulated for older cats is helpful, but owners should work with the veterinarian to determine the amount and type of food to give their cat each day. Lots of protein is a must, as this article by VCA points out: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ feeding-mature-senior-and-geriatric-cats

Dehydration is another factor for older cats. Empty and re ll your cat’s water bowl each morning and monitor how much the amount decreases throughout the day to determine how much he drinks.

Finally, monitor your cat’s litter box habits. Write them down and take them to the next vet checkup to make sure there are no hidden health problems cropping up.

RAVES

Thank you DePaul Rosa's Villas and Roberts Wesleyan University of Chili, NY

I am an elderly, 78 years young woman who lives at DePaul Rosa’s Villas in LeRoy, currently attending sessions of Occupational Therapy training presented by students from Roberts Wesleyan University. Each of these students have added value to my life with their refreshing outlook on the future of their careers. I am so thankful for these sessions and appreciate the students’ willingness to interact with the tenants of this facility. When the students depart from the sessions, I feel good as if I had a hug. The students brought happiness and joy to my day. There are a few tenants who are not from this area who feel isolated with their medical issues. The students bring hope, optimism and give inner strength to the elderly. The students are an inspiration to all of us attending the sessions, as they go above and beyond with care and consideration. The future lies before them and God bless these young students.

Thank You Honeoye Falls Lima Students

My friends and I went to the Senior lunch and preview of Guys & Dolls. We were amazed. The lunch was excellent! The student servers were polite and they did a wonderful job making people feel welcomed. The play was so much fun. The students, actors, musicians and behind the scene workers were very professional and the play was perfection. My friends were so happy to come for the afternoon and had a great time. We are all looking forward to next year. We had so much fun from the time we walked in the school until we left.

Great Service!

Throughout the winter the folks working at Kwik Fill in Lima always did their jobs with smiles on their faces and a nice greeting and thank you, so thank you all for your good work attitude!

Junk Area

I am writing this with the concern that a recently appointed Historical Area of the village has turned into a junk yard. There are now 2-3 containers filled with junk, 2-3 RVs (not running) filled with junk. 2 full sized boats. Busses filled with junk. Non-running car, 2 plows, multiple lawn mowers and even more junk. This has become an eye sore not only for the residents and the entire village, but is this what we want people to see as they visit our village? THIS IS ALLOWED IN A HISTORICAL AREA? Why has the village board or the mayor not said anything? I have a good idea why not. This has brought feral cats, mice, rats, raccoons, and even skunks to the area. It has become a hoarding area. This needs to be cleaned up. Very sad for an area that even when it was empty added character to the village. Now it has become a junk yard!!

Donating

Why do multibillion dollar corporations have their employees solicit at the checkout for donations? Whether you’re put on the spot for an answer or the computer’s check out screen has a button to donate money for whatever the charity of the week is, do corporations really need tax write offs? Major corporations are notorious for avoiding taxes. If you like to donate, please send it directly to the charity or cause. You’ll feel much better for your participation.

Hurricane Sandy (2012): Sandy tore through 24 American states before reaching Ontario and Quebec, Canada. While it wasn’t the largest or most powerful storm, it was dubbed a “superstorm” due to unique meteorological events that happened concurrently, resulting in an immense storm surge. It was the fifth costliest hurricane in U.S. history.

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT

Retail credit cards: Many retailers offer their own credit cards. Consumers may be enticed to sign up for such cards by the opportunity for instant, and often significant, savings. For example, a home improvement store may offer an immediate 25 percent discount to customers who sign up for a store credit card and use the card to make a purchase. As enticing as such savings can be, consumers should recognize that a recent study by CreditCards.com found that the average retail credit card APR is 25.9 percent. That’s more than 6 percent higher than a general purpose credit card. Consumers who cannot pay balances in full each month could end up paying much more in interest if they use retail credit cards instead of general purpose cards.

With over 23 years’ experience, we will treat your home, business, or cottage so you’re bug-free all season! All major credit cards accepted.

Most often unpaid, volunteers generously donate a part of their lives to do the work that nobody else likes to do — cleaning up after the event, fostering shelter dogs, chaperoning field trips, or helping the librarian; there are so many areas requiring volunteers. This month, we salute them for their unwavering services to businesses and communities and hold aloft their examples to inspire young and adults towards volunteerism.

COLOR ME!

FACTS

It fills critical gaps in service

Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to host events or held programs as easily as we do today. Since most

these events are extremely important for communities and businesses, volunteers fill a critical gap in service.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

Be mindful of decorum. The internet is a largely informal “place,” but professionals should be mindful of decorum when networking online. Resist the temptation to use shorthand, slang or less formal language when contacting other professionals, as doing so can make you appear unprofessional. In addition, avoid making potentially controversial or contentious comments on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.

* Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it. -- Y.P. in Illinois

* Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a run, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong but gentle enough to not cause any harm. -- E.S. in Wisconsin

* Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds, and still get that tumble-dried softness.

-- M.N. in Missouri

* Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!

* Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow container that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar is cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.
