TYPES OF FIREPITS FOR YOUR BACKYARD OASIS

Wood firepit: As their name suggests, wood firepits burn wood, which may appeal to homeowners who already have wood-burning fireplaces inside their homes. Because they don’t require homeowners to tap into gas lines, wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many homeowners prefer the aesthetic appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits.

Soundproof Your Home

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.

PAVING & SEALING

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

Q&A Master Gardeners with the

What time of year is best to prune everything? Are different times/seasons are best for different plants?

Whenitcomestopruning,thebesttimeof year varies depending on the specific plant and its growth habits. Different plants have different pruning requirements, and timing is crucial to ensure optimal health and growth. Here’s a generalguidelineforpruningdifferenttypesof plants throughout the year:

1. Deciduous Trees and Shrubs: Late winter or early spring, before new growth begins, is usually the best time to prune deciduous trees and shrubs. Pruning during this period allows for better visibility of the plant’s structure and promotes vigorous growth in the upcoming season. However, it is important to avoid

e

pruningduringfreezingtemperaturesorwhen the plant is actively flowering.

2. Evergreen Trees and Shrubs: Evergreen plants can be pruned throughout the year, but the best time is typically in early spring before new growth starts.This timing allows the plant to recover quickly and minimizes the risk of damage from extreme weather conditions. Light pruning can also be done in late summer to maintain shape and remove any dead or diseased branches.

3. Flowering Shrubs and Trees: The timing of pruning flowering shrubs and trees depends on whether they bloom on old wood or new wood. Plants that bloom on old wood, such as lilacs and azaleas, should be pruned immediately after they finish flowering. This ensures that you don’t remove the flower buds

for the next season. For plants that bloom on new wood, like hydrangeas, it’s best to prune them in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

4. Fruit Trees: Pruning fruit trees is usually done during late winter or early spring while the trees are still dormant. This timing allows for better control of the tree’s shape, improves fruit production, and reduces the risk of disease.It’s important to follow specific pruning techniques for each type of fruit tree to maximize yield and maintain overall tree health.

5. Perennials and Herbaceous Plants: Perennials and herbaceous plants can be pruned at various times throughout the year depending on their growth habit and flowering pattern. Generally, it is best to

prune these plants in early spring before new growth emerges or in late fall after they have finished flowering. Removing dead or spent flowers, known as deadheading, can also encourage prolonged blooming and tidy up the appearance of the plants.

Remember, these guidelines are general recommendations, and it’s always best to research the specific pruning requirements for eachplant in your landscape. By understanding the best time to prune different plants, you can promote healthy growth, enhance aesthetics, and ensure the overall vitality of your garden. Additionally, pruning is a tool to help promote health and well-being, not as a means to make a plant work in a location where it isn’t suited. “Right plant,rightplace”shouldalways beemployed.

STRAWBERRY-GLAZED FRENCH TOAST WITH SWEETENED SOUR CREAM Serves 4

• 8 1-inch-thick bread slices, cut from a country or peasant loaf

• 2 cups half-and-half

• 4 egg yolks

• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, plus 1/2 teaspoon

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves (see note 2)

1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until dry and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes per side. Watch carefully so that the bread does not burn. Remove the bread from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, egg yolks, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish works well). Add the

toasted bread slices and soak them 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate or platter.

3. Place a large, heavy frying pan over low to medium heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of the butter, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. When melted, add enough bread slices to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook slowly until the slices are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and place in the warm oven. Repeat, adding more butter to the pan as needed until all the bread slices have been sautéed.

4. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

5. When ready to serve, spread each toast with a thin coating of strawberry jam and top with a dollop of sweetened sour cream.

Note 1: The best bread for this dish is an unsliced loaf of good-quality peasant or country bread, preferably one without an extra-hard crust. One that is rectangular, rather than round, is more convenient, but either will do. Cut off the ends of the loaf, and reserve for another use. Then slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. If your loaf is large and the slices seem large, cut them in half.

Note 2: You can try other jams, preserves or marmalades. Cherry, raspberry or peach preserves and orange marmalade are other possibilities.

Noise Ordinances

I’m a 94 year male who uses a cane to get around. Do a lot shopping at Caledonia Market. Just want to thank the kind lady who help me load my car in the rain. Thank you

Thank You

We were at [restaurant] in Avon this morning. When we were getting ready to leave and pay our bill, the waitress told us the young man seated at the table nearby paid our bill. We are an older couple and thought it was a wonderful gesture for this young man to do. You have no idea what that meant to us. We just came back from an appointment and we normally sit in the same spot, and it was such a nice thing for the young man to do. Thank you, and God bless!

To the person complaining about others mowing between 7am and 9pm, claiming it is unreasonable to mow during those times, most towns and cities have noise ordinances that allow those kinds of activities from those hours. When you factor in some blocks have 30+ houses that all need mowing, of course you’re going to hear mowing all of the time. It's a part of what summer is! Most towns also have a law about the height of grass, so mowing is necessary, and also helps keep the growing tick population at bay. So I'm sorry that people are following their local regulations.

Terrible Roads

Good Guy

Shout out to Ben Burgess who was nice enough to put my spare tire on when I got a flat in Shortsville, NY. I am not from the area so I did not know anyone personally I could call and although I tried calling several service stations in the area they were all busy and I was stuck. Ben was definitely a lifesaver as I had a couple of appointments in Irondequoit that afternoon that I had to keep and thanks to Ben I made them both.

They put in water lines throughout [local town]. They then "fixed" the huge crevices they made in the roads but didn't even make sure they were even with the existing road. There is one spot that is so bad that they have to keep filling it with gravel to make it easier to cross in your vehicle. Why not just fix them properly?! If you're going to mess the roads up for a project you should be held accountable to fix them properly when you're done.

Here’s A Tip

• To clean out your coffee grinder in order to use it for spices, add about a half-cup of white rice, then pulverize it. Repeat until scent is gone and rice powder comes out clean.

• It’s food-smart to separate utensils and cutting boards used for veggies, meats, poultry, etc. Here’s a handy chef’s trick: Color code. Paint a different color stripe down the edge of cutting boards and around the handle of utensils for each variety: green for veggies, yellow for poultry and red for beef.

Can Sciatica Be Relieved Through Steriod Shots?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am wondering what the best treatment is for sciatic pain. Would a steroid shot help? The pain is behind my knee, down the outside of my leg, and now on my foot. -- J.F.

ANSWER: “Sciatica” is a general term for a process that compresses the nerve roots, which causes symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and a loss of reflexes. The sciatic nerve supplies much of the innervation to the leg. The area that you describe is most likely the first sacral nerve (S1), and pain here is most frequently caused by disc herniation at the L5-S1 space. This can cause acute symptoms that are often quite severe.

Initial treatment is usually conservative, consisting of anti-inflammatories and avoiding activities that worsen pain. While bed rest was sometimes prescribed, it is seldom necessary for more than a day or two, and many people actually feel better when they are up and about. After a week, most people are able to do light activity, and I tell my patients neither to push themselves to do more than they can, nor force themselves to rest if they feel OK with light activity.

Steroids have certainly been used in this situation, and they are injected into the epidural space by an expert who uses imaging. Although there is a slight improvement in pain around three months among those who are treated with epidural steroids, there was no longer a benefit found around six months. This means that you get better only a little faster than normal at the cost of a small risk from the injection. If a person isn’t recovering well within a few weeks, I often refer them to physical therapy. If they aren’t getting benefit at all (or they are getting worse), then it is time to find out what the cause is with an MRI and a referral to an expert.

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.

Cu ivating Inclusion and Purpose:

THE INSPIRING JOURNEY OF JENNYRAE BRONGO AND HOMESTEADS FOR HOPE

Nestled

historic Erie Canal on Rochester’s west side, lies a 55-acre sanctuary known as Homesteads for Hope Community Farm. is unique haven, where people of all abilities can learn, work, and live together, is the brainchild of Jennyrae Brongo, a visionary entrepreneur and passionate advocate for individuals with disabilities. e farm embodies her dedication to creating an inclusive community, turning her personal challenges into a mission of hope and empowerment.

A er graduating from Spencerport High School in 2007 and earning a Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management Engineering from Alfred State College in 2011, Brongo joined her father’s construction business. Her father passed away just two months later, leaving Jennyrae to lead the family business. She transformed their 15-acre gravel pit into Brongo Supply, focusing on construction recycling and landscape supply. Despite her success, her heart was set on a different mission: creating a better life for her family and others raising children with disabilities.

e seed for Homesteads for Hope was planted during a moment of desperation and hope. Her brother, Charles “Chucky” Brongo, has autism, and Jennyrae is full-time guardian for him. Struggling to find suitable services for Chucky a er he graduated to adulthood, Jennyrae and her mother, Luann, spent countless hours seeking solutions. A visit to a nearby farm sparked an idea that would change their lives. Inspired by the therapeutic potential of nature and community, they envisioned a place where individuals with disabilities could find purpose and belonging. Jennyrae and Luann founded Homesteads for Hope in 2013 to create such an inclusive campus offering educational and vocational programs on a public farm.

Homesteads for Hope is not just a farm, though; it’s a community where people grow together. Under Jennyrae’s leadership, the farm has evolved into a vibrant hub that serves over 600 families. e farm offers a range of programs, from vocational training and social engagement to skill development, all designed to empower individuals with disabilities. e community’s support has been instrumental in this journey, transforming the farm into a beacon of inclusion and opportunity. At Homesteads for Hope, “individuals with and without disabilities thrive, finding purpose and belonging through the transformative power of agriculture.”

e farm’s impact is profound. With 17 staff members, over 30 volunteers, and 65 full-time apprentices, Homesteads for Hope provides a lifeline for families navigating the challenges of raising children with disabilities. e programs offered at the farm help individuals transition from childhood to adulthood, fostering independence and confidence through hands-on learning and community involvement.

One of Brongo’s proudest achievements is the completion of the Forever Homestead, a 6,500-square-foot community center housed in a renovated 200-year-old estate. is project, completed just before the grand opening in October 2023, provides classrooms, a teaching kitchen, offices, and residential space, serving as the heart of the community. e center’s grand opening was a testament to the power of hope and community, welcoming over 1,000 guests and marking a significant milestone in Homesteads for Hope’s journey.

Brongo’s vision for Homesteads for Hope continues to expand. Her immediate goal for 2024 is to close the gap on a $2.5 million fundraising campaign, which will secure the farm’s future and support the development of inclusive residential housing on the property. is ambitious project aims to provide a much-needed living space for individuals with disabilities, further enhancing the farm’s mission of inclusion and empowerment. She emphasizes her personal goal “to ensure my brother and our farm family have everything they need, and then maybe [she’ll] consider slowing down a bit.”

Brongo is deeply involved in every aspect of the organization, from strategic planning and community outreach to program development and hands-on farm work. She thanks everyone who works on the farm and supports its mission.

Homesteads for Hope stands as a testament to Brongo’s vision, offering a model of inclusion and empowerment that transforms lives and inspires hope. As the farm continues to grow, so does the legacy of love and community Brongo and her family have cultivated, proving that with determination and a shared vision, anything is possible.

by Dick Rogers, principal scientist and entomologist, Bayer Bee Care Program (NAPSI) — Scientific information can ease the fears of many people concerned about the arrival of the Asian giant hornet in the United States.

What do we know?

Hornets are found in many parts of the world and play a vital role in the balance of natural ecosystems through pollination, biodiversity and natural pest control. Unfortunately dubbed the “murder hornet,” the Asian giant hornet (AGH), the world’s largest, was sighted for the first time in the United States in December 2019.

Who (or what) is at risk?

While the AGH is large in size and has a big sting compared to other hornets, it is typically not aggressive with humans (Whew! That’s a relief). As always, those allergic to bee or wasp stings should practice caution and avoid contact with hornets in general.

However, the AGH can pose a risk to honey bee colonies because it feeds on large insects, including wasps and bees. So far, they’ve only appeared in the northwest part of the United States, and monitoring efforts by the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) are underway to better understand these hornets and help educate beekeepers on how to protect their colonies.

On top of this, our team at Bayer is taking action by organizing a first detection trapping program in North Carolina and Missouri, which will be deployed in early July. We will then share our results with the WSDA at the end of the season. While we do not expect to catch any AGH this year, early detection is key to an effective eradication effort if needed.

You can be confident that the early introduction of the AGH in the United States and Canada is being closely monitored by professionals who have management plans in place should there be any future sightings. There’s no need to worry about catching a glimpse of these hornets in your yards or gardens, as they are not yet established in the United States. In fact, the only hornet that is established in our country, the European hornet, has been around since the late 1800s.

How can we help protect the bees?

It’s not only researchers and entomologists who can help protect honeybees. Everyone can support bees by getting outside to plant pollinator-friendly gardens or flowers. As pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystem, crop production and biodiversity, I recommend you stay calm and keep gardening to provide your fuzzy friends with the flowers and habitat they need to thrive.

Learn more about how to plant pollinator-friendly gardens that help bees, monarchs and other important pollinators by visiting https://beehealth.bayer.us/home.

Dick Rogers has been a professional entomologist for more than four decades and has been keeping and studying bees for over 40 years. He joined the Bayer Bee Care Program in 2009.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Senior cat’s arthritis is impacting his quality of life.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Sticky” is 14 years old and still in great shape. He loves chasing a er a laser beam and rolling around with his toys. However, I’ve noticed that when he comes over to leap up on my lap, he hesitates and just puts his paws on my leg and meows. I have to encourage him to leap, and he doesn’t seem happy about it. Could something be wrong with him? -- Janine in Gulfport, Mississippi

DEAR JANINE: At age 14, Sticky is definitely a senior cat, and it sounds like he’s beginning to develop a common senior cat problem: arthritis. Just like us, cats can suffer from stiff, achy joints as they get older.

You’re doing a great job of observing his behavior and spotting changes in the way he interacts. Arthritis (typically osteoarthritis, sometimes abbreviated as OA) is progressive, and sometimes not noticeable right away. ere are four key things to watch for:

Running -- Does your cat run with a fast, fluid motion, or in stops and starts?

Jumping -- Does your cat hesitate to take jumps that were effortless in the past?

Climbing -- Does your cat walk or run confidently on the stairs, or hesitate on each step?

Playing -- Does your cat keep up with the laser pointer, or start to lag behind?

Other noticeable behaviors, like excessive meowing, hiding away or even occasionally missing the litter box also signal that your cat is uncomfortable or in pain.

It’s important to consult with Sticky’s veterinarian at this point. Together, you can evaluate his pain level and function, and discuss options for improving his comfort. ere are treatments for cats with OA that will greatly improve his quality of life and get him back to his old self.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK

The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up. If it’s a mental break you need, get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.

DID YOU KNOW?

Howhouseholdsearntheirincome has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN

Change your reading habits. E-reader enthusiasts may have access to millions of books at their fingertips, but that access could come at a steep cost. Distractions abound when reading books on tablets, smartphones and e-readers. The internet is only a swipe or two away when reading e-books, while print books provide no such access to the internet. Tablets and e-readers employ the he same notification system as smartphones, so readers who insist on going the digital route can turn those notifications off before cuddling up with a good book. But that might not be enough, as readers can still visit the home screen of their devices and begin browsing the internet. Print books are ideal for those who want to read with as little device-related distractions as possible.
