Tri-County- Genesee Valley Penny Saver- 9-1-23

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On Sept. 5, 1666, firefighters in London begin blowing up homes in a desperate attempt to halt the spread of a great fire in the city. By the time the fire was finally extinguished, more than 100,000 people had been left homeless.

ENJOYING THRILLS AT AMUSEMENT PARKS

Carousels are favorites for children and adults alike. Riders ride wooden horses and other animals as the carousel moves in a circle. According to the trivia provider Mental Floss, carousels were first used to give horseback riding lessons to Turkish and Arabian cavalry members. Crusaders brought the idea to Europe, and the attraction became a fun ride.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* Peppermint oil does a better job of promoting hair growth than hair-growth medication.

* Speaking of hair, following the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, thousands of hairstylists and alpaca farmers donated over 19 warehouses worth of cut locks to absorb it.

TIPS FOR TAKING STUNNING NATURE PHOTOS

Use light wisely. The photography resource Expert Photography recommends taking photos primarily during the golden hours. These are right after sunrise and just before sunset. The light during these times of day has a softer, hazy quality that will illuminate subjects evenly and less harshly than midday, when shadows also may pose challenges. Taking photos during these times also means fewer people around and a better chance that wildlife will be out and about.

A skill that has always existed improves the aesthetics of our homes, shields us from every weather, and ensures we have a good night’s sleep even in the coldest weather. Sewing is that skill. National Sewing Month is celebrated to honor this artistic practice that fashions our bodies and adorns our homes all year. So, grab your needles and start sewing.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE

Put paint to work. Paint is another way to make the most of a limited space. Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing. The result is a room that feels calm and open, even if there is less space to move around than homeowners might have grown accustomed to in their larger homes.

GENERAL CONTRACTING

STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE AN APPRAISER’S VISIT

Clean the house. A dirty home that is full of clutter will not make the best impression on appraisers. Dirty homes may be vulnerable to insect infestations that can lead to structural problems with the home. While a dirty home is not necessarily an indicator of infestations or a reflection of a home’s value, a clean home will create a stronger first impression with the appraiser.

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.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

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.

“We have nothing to fear and a great deal to learn from trees, that vigorous and pacific tribe which without stint produces strengthening essences for us, soothing balms, and in whose gracious company we spend so many cool,silent and intimate hours.”

Nutrition and flavor packed into one simple dish

Chickpeas are loaded with protein and fiber, making them a healthy addition to just about anyone’s diet. For those who want the nutritious pack chickpeas can provide but are worried that chickpeas fall short in the flavor department, you can enjoy the best of both worlds by cooking up the following recipe for “Spiced Chickpeas” from “Crossroads: Extraordinary Recipes from the Restaurant That Is Reinventing Vegan Cuisine” (Artisan) by Tal Ronnen, Scot Jones and Serafina Magnussen.

Spiced Chickpeas

Serves 4

2 cups dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans), soaked overnight in cold water, or two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 tablespoons grapeseed oil

1/2 shallot, minced

2 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 tablespoon dry sherry

1 cup sauce

Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Combine the chickpeas, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, drizzle with 1/4 cup of the oil, and toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast, shaking the pan from time to time, for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chickpeas are firm and dry. Set aside to cool. (The roasted chickpeas can be prepared a couple of hours in advance, covered, and held at room temperature.)

Put a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, stir in the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tossing to heat through. Stir in the lemon juice, sherry and marinara sauce and cook, stirring, until the chickpeas are well coated and the sauce is hot, about 2 minutes.

Mound the chickpeas in a shallow serving bowl, top with chopped parsley and serve warm.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* The original time machine in “Back to the Future” was not a DeLorean, but an old refrigerator. According to HuffPost, “Ultimately, it was determined that it probably was not a good idea to use a refrigerator in such a manner as kids might want to reenact the scene.”

* Napoleon introduced brass buttons on soldier uniforms’ sleeves to discourage them from wiping their noses.

* According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the stickers on fruit are edible. We haven’t tried them ourselves, though.

Fine examples of today’s youths Saturday, August 19th there were 6 young women at Lehigh and East Henrietta Rd advertising a car wash at the Rush-Henrietta High School. They were energetic, polite and fun. I went to the high school and the rest of the group and the adult in charge were just as fun. As a resident of Henrietta I was so happy to see young people volunteering for the school. Thank you all. You put a big smile on a cranky old woman’s face. Thank you, you made my day.

Wedding Showers

The tradition of a wedding shower is to help a future bride acquire the necessary items needed to set up her new home. Today, more and more couples live together for years prior to getting married. What is the purpose of a wedding shower when most couples already have everything they need? As a guest, we are required to buy an expensive inconsequential item from the long list on the registry, and then spend an afternoon watching the gifts slowly get opened as if they have no idea what they are about to receive. Wouldn’t it make more sense to forgo the expensive shower expo and just go out and buy the gifts you preselected on the registry? Just food for thought.

Watch for buses as school resumes!

As the school year commences, senior citizens should remain vigilant for school buses. Keep an eye out for flashing lights, extended stop signs, and children crossing roads near bus stops to ensure their safety and the safety of young pedestrians.

HOW TO MAINTAIN MENTAL ACUITY

Stay socially connected. Maintaining social connections with family, friends and community members also can help women prevent cognitive decline. Epidemiologist Bryan James of the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center studied how social activity affected cognitive decline, ultimately noting that the rate of cognitive decline was considerably lower among men and women who maintained social contact than it was among those with low levels of social activity.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Osteoporosis Screening for Men Remains Controversial

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I are confused about the guidelines concerning when older men should be screened for osteoporosis. All the information seems to suggest that it is only needed for men over 70 who have had a fracture. In my husband’s case, he was only told to get a DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan after he had back pain and several compression fractures of the thoracic spine (up to 70%), at the age of 72. His T-score was -2.8 for his spine. I can’t help feeling that because he is male, weighs 200 pounds, has an active lifestyle and was previously 6 feet, 2 inches tall, the issue of osteoporosis just never came up during his yearly primary care visits (even though his height had decreased since at least 2019, and he’s now only 6 feet tall). This is a potentially life-threatening condition for older women and men, but the risks for women seem to get all the attention. What’s the reluctance to order a simple, fast, painless, not-too-expensive test to screen men earlier? -- B.W.

ANSWER: In general, screening tests (by definition, a test done on a person with no symptoms of the condition) are done when there is good evidence that the screening will lead to an improved outcome in the screened group compared to an unscreened group. The data in women is strong enough that all women over 65 and women younger than 65 with additional risks for osteoporosis should be screened with a DEXA scan, but there is not strong enough data to support screening in men.

Osteoporosis screening in men is controversial. While one of the most influential groups does not recommend screening in all men over 70, some groups do, despite an absence of proven benefit. They base this recommendation on the fact that, as you say, it’s not a particularly dangerous test (the radiation dose is small), nor is it expensive (the average cost is $150, but can be higher in some states). One major downside of testing in general is that no screening test is perfect. As such, an unexpected finding of osteoporosis in a man requires that the screening test be repeated to be sure the test result is accurate.

Even though men are not always recommended for screening, there are some medical findings that should prompt a test. One is a loss of height -- losing more than 1.5 inches of height should have prompted a DEXA scan. (Strictly speaking, this is no longer a screening; it’s an evaluation of the cause of an unexpected medical finding.)

A low testosterone level (either by itself -- hypogonadism -- or as a result of medical treatment for prostate cancer); primary hyperparathyroidism; inflammatory bowel disease; and longterm use of prednisone and similar drugs are all known risk factors for osteoporosis that should at least trigger a discussion of a DEXA scan. Similarly, the finding of osteoporosis in a man should prompt consideration of the underlying reason behind it, which could include any of the risk factors listed above.

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.

WHAT CAUSES EATING DISORDERS?

Family history. Better Help,a mental health wellness site,says having a close relative with an eating disorder may be a risk factor for eating disorders.Prior history of constant dieting and dissatisfaction with body image are additional risk factors.

Salvatore’s Pizza Family Introduces Innovative “I LOVE SCHOOL” Program to Celebrate 45th Anniversary

In a heartfelt gesture to mark their 45th anniversary, Salvatore’s Pizza Family has unveiled the “I Love School” program. A beloved fixture in the community since its inception as a high school home economics project in 1978, Salvatore’s Pizza is taking this momentous occasion to give back to the community that has supported them throughout the years. e program aims to foster a spirit of appreciation for education and hard-working educators by providing classrooms and students with incentives that highlight positive behavior, acts of kindness, and academic excellence.

e “I Love School” program is a testament to the pizza chain’s commitment to community engagement and its dedication to making a positive impact on local education. Ashley Maria King, President of Business Operations, expressed the company’s enthusiasm, saying, “We are always looking for new ways to get involved in our community, and with it being back-to-school season, we were trying to find a way to help teachers the best we can.”

e heart of the program lies in classroom nominations, where teachers, parents, and even students can nominate deserving classrooms to be part of this initiative. Nominations continue until September 30th, with the aim of selecting classrooms from every school in Monroe and surrounding counties.

Classrooms selected will win Free SuperSlice Cards to be redeemed for delicious slices at any Salvatore’s Full Menu location. e excitement doesn’t end there; select classrooms will also receive Free Large Pizza Cards, facilitating a Back-To-School Pizza Party sure to add a dash of excitement to the new academic year.

King shares that the program’s goal is to “donate SuperSlice cards to at least one classroom for every single school in Monroe County and surrounding counties. We hope to do more than one classroom per school, but this is what we are going to initially aim for.”

Kayla Kent-Moreira, President of Restaurant Operations, spoke about the potential of these rewards, explaining, “Teachers can use Salvatore’s SuperSlice cards as a gi for students, or to use as class rewards for attendance, good grades, or acts of kindness.” is innovative approach brightens the classroom atmosphere and reinforces positive student behavior.

Salvatore’s Pizza is deeply rooted in the Rochester community, and this program reflects its commitment to making a difference. e company has a rich history of engaging with the community through various initiatives, such as supporting local charities, including the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, Camp Good Days & Special Times, and NEQALS EMT, and Rochester’s Do the Right ing initiative. Salvatore’s franchises sponsor a variety of community events and youth sports organizations. Salvatore’s is also known to buy out deserving Girl Scout troop cookie inventory to give away, and all locations offer free pizzas to veterans and active military personnel on Veterans Day. During COVID, Salvatore’s started a Feed Rochester campaign to donate pizzas to local hospitals and all first responder locations as well as nursing homes and homeless shelters.

“We are a local business, born & raised in Rochester, NY --and we do whatever we can to try to help our local community,” emphasizes CEO/Founder, Salvatore SoccerSam Fantauzzo. “We just want to put a smile on someone’s face and pizza in their hand.”

With the “I Love School” program, Salvatore’s Pizza Family reiterates its commitment to nurturing the potential of the next generation and fostering a sense of community that has been at the heart of their journey since the beginning. As nominations roll in and classrooms eagerly await the chance to participate, this initiative will leave an indelible mark on the educational landscape of Monroe and surrounding counties.

Protecting Honeybees

Honeybees and other bees require some sort of shelter. Dead trees and plants provide adequate shelter, so don’t be so tempted to pull out all of the undergrowth in the name of aesthetics.

PAW’S CORNER

Stray Cats Take Out Local Chipmunk Population

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Recently, a pack of cats have started wandering on my property, especially at dawn and dusk. Two of them are wearing flea collars, with no ID tag; the rest have no identification. I don’t approach or feed them. Some of them might be my neighbors’ cats, but I don’t know. Since they started prowling my three acres, the chipmunks and birds that used to frequent the yard have disappeared. How do I deal with this cat problem? -- Tracy in upstate New York

DEAR TRACY: Contact your local municipality -- city, town or county -- and visit their website to find out if they have an animal control officer. If they do, contact them and explain the problem.

Now, most rural areas have few to no animal control officers assigned. So you may be told that they only respond to calls where the animal poses a threat -- aggressive dogs, bears, rabid raccoons and so on. But reporting the cat pack is still important. Furthermore, ask them what resources exist in your area for dealing with stray cats.

Here’s a few other tips:

-- Is there a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program active in the area? Contact them for advice.

-- Ask your nearby neighbors if any of the cats belong to them. If so, ask politely if they can keep the cats indoors.

-- Take a photo of the cat pack and post it on social media. Ask if any of the cats have been reported missing.

-- Contact local shelters for advice. ey probably won’t take in feral cats, but you can bring in friendly and approachable cats that don’t have identification. Purchase a cat carrier so you can safely transport them.

FUN WAYS TO KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED OVER SUMMER BREAK

Day camp: Day camps provide much of the structure of school without all the homework or time spent indoors. Many parks and recreation departments run summer day camps for kids. Camps can be generalized or specialized. For example, some may offer an array of activities, including sports and nature walks, in a given day, while others may focus on a single activity, like musical lessons or science-based programs. Camps run by local parks and rec departments do not typically last all summer long, which parents should keep in mind when enrolling youngsters.

A strong professional network can help professionals advance their careers and help others looking to do the same.

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

LEAVING A JOB GRACEFULLY

Watch out for social media. It’s best to keep resignation plans to yourself and off of social media. You never know who is reading your posts, and bad-mouthing a soon-to-be-former employer can lead to hurt feelings and poor references. Resist the urge to rant about what’s making you unhappy at work or brag about a new position to your social network.
