MOTHER’S DAY WHEN MOM HAS PASSED Get together with siblings. If you are lucky enough to have siblings, you can share the day together. This way you can remember the happy times, comfort each other and laugh together. If you don’t have siblings, consider a visit with an aunt or uncle or another close relative who may be feeling the loss, too.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

FINDING THE RIGHT FENCING

Chain-link fences may not add the aesthetic appeal homeowners are looking for, but they are relatively inexpensive, durable and functional. Chain-link fences are low maintenance, though homeowners looking for fences to provide some privacy may need to get creative if they install chain-link fencing. Planting flowers, shrubbery or trees near chain-link fences can add some aesthetic appeal and a little privacy.

AWNINGS & WINDOW COVERINGS

* 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.

CARPET/FLOORING

THIS SPRING, IT’S ALL ABOUT THAT BASS FISHING -AND YOUR BASIC GEAR WEAR A BASE LAYER. A thin T-shirt is a must as a base layer, better if it is made of fabric that wicks away moisture. There are even some that are made to be water repellent and stain resistant with anti-odor properties for those in warmer climes. Since this is the layer that is in direct contact with your skin, you want something that will allow moisture to escape as you sweat.

YOUR SOIL MIGHT BE

Excessive water runoff: Runoff occurs when watering lawns. But if nearly all of the water intended for the lawn and the soil beneath it is seemingly being diverted away from the grass, then that means the water cannot get through to the soil or that so little is getting through that the lawn’s health is in jeopardy.

ANIMALS OUT OF YOUR GARDEN

Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ first choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coveringsmakeitmoredifficulttotendtogardensandrobgardensofsome of their aesthetic appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades.

REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME

Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that may be lurking in homes even if homeowners are unaware of its presence. Although it is a naturally occurring substance, radon has the potential to cause serious illness. Therefore, its detection and reduction are paramount.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General’s Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The EPA further notes that many homes are in radon danger areas. Nearly one in three homes checked in seven states and on three lands designated for Native Americans had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA’s recommended action level for radon exposure. According to Air Chek, Inc., a radon testing resource, a radon level of 4 pCi/l is equal to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if a person was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site.

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.

How do I prepare my soil for planting?

Properly preparing your soil before planting is essential for creating a thriving garden bed. To embark on this journey, begin by meticulously removing any pesky weeds or grass that may have taken root in the area. This will help ensure that your plants have ample space to flourish without any unnecessary competition for nutrients and resources. Once you have cleared the canvas, it’s time to indulge in the art of soil cultivation. Gently till or dig the soil to loosen its texture, allowing for improved aeration and drainage. As you delve into this task, consider adding a touch of magic in the form of organic matter. Compost, a delightful concoction of decayed organic materials, can work wonders for your soil structure and serve

as a nutrient-rich feast for your soon-tobe-planted garden gems. Generously incorporatethispreciousresourceintothe soil, allowing it to weave its enchantment and transform the landscape. Finally, as you put the finishing touches on your soil masterpiece, gently smooth the surface and offer it a refreshing drink of water, quenching its thirst and creating an inviting environment for your seeds or seedlings.

How often should I water my garden? The rhythm of watering your garden is a delicatedance,influencedbyasymphony of factors that harmonize to create the perfect balance. Consider the unique needs of your plants, the composition of your soil, the whims of weather, and the

stage of growth your green companions find themselves in. As you traverse this journey,keep in mind that moderation is key. While providing ample hydration is crucial, drowning your garden in excess water can lead to soggy roots and a lack of oxygen, stifling the potential for growth. Instead, aim for a gentle and nourishing approach. Seek to deliver approximately 1 inch of water per week, a golden rule that provides ample moisture without overwhelming the delicate ecosystem beneath the surface.

Look for this weekly column! Your questions answered by the local Cornell experts.

However, remember that this is merely a guiding principle,and it’s vital to listen to the whispers of your garden. Observe the moisture level of the soil, and let it guide your hand as you adjust your watering routine. Remember, deep and infrequent watering encourages the development of robust root systems, anchoring your plants firmly in the ground and preparing them for a flourishing future.

Born into a musical family that included his mother, a singer and banjo player, and his father, a violist, Scott Joplin grew up in Texarkana, learning to play the guitar and later the piano at a very young age. By the time Joplin was a teenager, he was working as a traveling musician and eventually became the foremost composer of ragtime jazz. Biography.com notes that Joplin was a true student of music, studying at the George R. Smith College for Negroes in Missouri during the 1890s. Though one of history’s most celebrated jazz musicians, Joplin also composed ballets and operas.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the U.S. Department of Labor and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, registered nurse is the most common occupation for women in the United States labor force. Slightly less than 2.1 million women worked as registered nurses in 2017, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Such figures are harder to come by in regard to Canada, but Statista reports that the labor participation rate among women in Canada in 2018 was right around 64 percent. That rate marks a slight decrease from its 21st century peak in 2005, when 66.7 percent of women were active members of the Canadian workforce. In the United States, more than two million women worked as secretaries or administrative assistants in 2017, making these professions the second most common occupation among female workers. Elementary and middle school teachers was the third most common occupation for female professionals, employing more than 1.9 million women in 2017. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau also indicates that women have the lion’s share of jobs in an assortment of professions, including preschool and kindergarten teachers, secretaries and administrative assistants, childcare workers, and dental assistants. Women hold at least 92 percent of the jobs in each of those professions in the United States. Over 25 years of experience 95 Canal Landing Blvd., Suite #5 Rochester, NY 14626

Andrew F. Morabito, HIS HearingInstrumentSpecialist

Sarah Cedeño: Crafting Stories, Illuminating Lives

BY SUZIE WELLS

Sarah Cedeño, a widely published prose writer and SUNY Brockport adjunct teacher explores the essence of human existence, elevating the mundane and celebrating the perfectly imperfect in the world.

Cedeño remembers grade school journal writing assignments where she first dipped her pen in the ink of creativity. She says some details from her childhood writings still find their way into her work today. From those early writings spawned a career in creative writing. With a BA and MA in Creative Writing from SUNY Brockport, and an MFA in Fiction Writing from Goddard College, she now teaches at her alma mater and lends her expertise at Writers & Books in Rochester as well as a variety of other forums. She edits fiction for several literary magazines and has assisted Brockport’s English department in initiatives throughout the years.

While Cedeño primarily identifies as a prose writer, when she occasionally ventures into the realm of poetry, free verse serves as her canvas for expression. She says she doesn’t usually pay attention to form until she shapes/edits the poem. For nonfiction, Cedeno likes to play with borrowed forms such as Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paolo call hermit crab essays because they use the existing form (as if a shell) of another type of writing (such as a dictionary entry for grief that explores the loss of a parent or a how-to manual for dismantling a home that explores divorce).

Cedeño calls her writing process “candid and haphazard,” fueled by a penchant for hoarding images, ideas, and snippets of everyday life. She finds her muse among the mundane, seeing the world as full of “little metaphors” waiting to be unraveled. She explains, “ ere’s a running commentary in a lot of writers’ heads that lends itself to creative practice and helps you stay present.” She tries not to overthink as she writes but finds the editing/revision phase to be fun, weeding out “unhelpful parts” of a piece. She also says that “abandoning the notion of ‘perfection’” helps her process tremendously.

To Cedeño, writing “[makes her] a better human and viceversa. As a writer, you have to pay attention to the stories behind the trauma. What leads people/animals to do the things they do? What understanding can we offer or gain from the world around us?”

Cedeño tends to “circle around things I love and things that inspire me, collecting them in my everyday – local history, the campus, animals, and nature – and that usually coalesces into something.” She o en likes to reflect on women’s experiences, describing her MFA project that was a collection of short

stories about women’s lives in the 20th century inspired by local news stories. Cedeño uses her expertise to voice those stories.

Cedeño says, “Writing friends are essential for inspiration, conversation, and feedback” and credits SarahFreligh’sBootcamps for producing most of the writing in Cedeño’s first collection, Not Something We Discuss O en, essays on illness and womanhood. erecipientofmultipleadjunctinstructorawards,Cedeño is dedicated to sharing her insights and constructive criticism with the next generation. However, she says she likes summers’ break from the grading of student writing, “constantly viewing a piece of writing as an object to be modified or improved. e constant analysis can be exhausting and take away from the fun and inspiration of both reading and writing.”

To aspiring writers, Cedeño says, “First: Read. Also: If you never stop writing and never stop sending work out, you will never be able to say that you failed. And acceptances will come. You have to believe that (if your goal is to publish).”

For Cedeño, writing is not just a vocation but a way of life – a means of understanding the world and our place within it. rough her stories, she invites readers to explore the nuances of human emotion, to contemplate the stories behind trauma, and to embrace the imperfections that make us beautifully human.

To learn more about Sarah Cedeño and her upcoming projects, visit her website at www.sarahmcedeno.com. Her next book, a collection of short fiction, e Grand Scheme of ings, will be released in September 2025 from Harbor Editions.

STORIES

Here’s a Tip

* Need to save money grocery shopping? Studies show that if you shop when the store is least busy, you’ll make smarter decisions. Try shopping at off-peak hours, such as later in the evening or early in the morning. Or try your store on Wednesday, traditionally the least busy day of the week.

* “I was making cookies last week and needed to roll out the dough. I couldn’t find my rolling pin anywhere. In a pinch, I pulled a bottle of wine off my wine rack and wrapped it tightly in plastic. It did the trick. I’m thinking I might just save the next empty bottle and clean the label off of it to use. I can store it right there in my rack!” -- O.V. in Oregon

* Add shredded veggies to tomato sauce to up the veggie quotient. Many vegetables can be added without adding many calories and will not change the taste that much. Try carrots, squash or sweet potatoes. You can even add a tablespoon or two of canned, pureed pumpkin.

Apple Cider Vinegar Is a Surprising Help for Blood in Urine

DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I had anal cancer and was treated with chemo and radiation. The radiation burned my insides and severely damaged most of my internal organs. One of the aftereffects was occasional blood and small clots in my urine. A few months ago, both the frequency and amount of blood, especially the clots, increased dramatically. The size and number of the clots got so large that they blocked my urethra. During a visit to my urologist, he looked into my bladder and declared it “angry.” Then he told me the same thing every doctor has told me about every problem caused by my treatment: “It was caused by the radiation, and there is nothing that can be done.”

Shortly after this, I began to take unfiltered apple cider vinegar in hopes that it would improve my digestive problems. It helped a little, but the big difference was that I have not had a single recurrence of either blood or clots in my urine. Can you tell me if this is due to the vinegar or if it is just a coincidence? -- A.G.

ANSWER: No, I can’t definitively tell you whether the vinegar helped. It was probably by chance, but let me explain a little about it.

Rectal cancer is often treated with radiation, or combined chemotherapy and radiation, either prior to or after surgery. The dose of radiation is quite high compared to some other cancers, and the complications can be significant.

In addition to damage to the bowel and bladder, radiation treatment can damage the bones and bone marrow, leading to poor blood-cell production, infertility, premature menopause, and more cancer years later. On the other hand, radiation is used when it is expected to improve the cure rate of cancer. Still, the side effects can be challenging.

Hemorrhagic cystitis (bleeding from the bladder) can be caused by chemotherapy or radiation. It may start within a few months or as long as 20 years after radiation.

I am surprised your urologist did not offer any treatments, as there are certainly ones available. Although none of the currently available systemic drugs are proven to be very effective, hyperbaric oxygen is one treatment that is, at least, moderately effective. Medicines placed into the bladder and laser bladder treatments are sometimes tried as well.

I was unable to find any study that evaluated the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar. I am skeptical, but reports like yours of apparent improvement associated with its use might convince a researcher to conduct a study to determine whether it really is effective.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE

Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life. People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.

The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.

Home Renovations and Pets Just Don’t Mix

Limited time for $18.99 we have

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We have a contractor coming soon to renovate our kitchen. I plan to keep my cat, “Freya,” out of the way and in a separate room during the day. But at night, she’ll want to wander the house. How do I keep her out of the kitchen? -- Jim in Portland, Maine

DEAR JIM: Cats are pretty wily, and I’m sure Freya will try to find a way around any barriers you set up to keep her out of the kitchen.

e best way to dissuade her from exploring the construction area, therefore, is to tempt her away with better distractions. at means moving her food and water to a new location far from the construction area (but out of heavy foot traffic) and giving her treats and attention whenever she opts to stay in the living room with you or near her bedding and food.

At night, tighten the barriers around the kitchen -- if there’s a door, close it. If there is plastic sheeting up, tack it to surrounding walls and tape it to the floor. Put a sheet of plywood across the entrance if necessary.

Inside the work area, make sure that the contractors put away all sharp tools and cover any containers tightly. ey should clean up any debris at the end of each day and use a wet-dry vacuum to pick up sawdust and dirt. Any spills need to be cleaned completely. is will reduce the risk to Freya if she manages to get into the kitchen, and it’s just good practice.

Readers, how did you keep your pets safe during home renovations? Tell me at ask@pawscorner.com.

Traffic circle in [local town]

The traffic circle is annoying. What’s even more frustrating is that people don’t use blinkers when they’re exiting. It causes traffic to back up unnecessarily & makes delays for people to enter the circle. It’s annoying and rude. When you learned to drive, didn’t you learn to use your blinkers?

Garbage filled park

A good deed

I want to thank the kind and honest person who found my credit card at the Webster Post Office a few weeks ago and returned it to staff. It just proves that there are good, honest people who do the right thing. I appreciate it very much and thank you.

Delicious Pizza!

My husband and I noticed piles of garbage at our local Town Park. We both decided to pick it up, since there is a constant flow of people. We filled 2 garbage bags with shoes, soup containers, broken glass, clothes, coffee cups and doggy poo bags! Nasty!

Last Friday, I thought I ordered a pizza from a local pizza shop, but the order never made it through. I contacted the restaurant and the person who picked up the phone said that he would give me a free pizza, size large, including a brownie! If more people could be this kind I think that the community would be so much better! Thank you again!

When we brought this to the attention at the Town office across the street, the lady in charge of the parks department said that “The Park is closed but when it’s open they pick up.” When asked if we could throw the trash in their dumpster, she rolled her eyes and called someone else, while laughing at my husband. Pick up after yourselves so that others do not have to- clearly the Town could care less about the safety of others! HOMETOWN

EXPLAINING PRECISION AGRICULTURE

What are some examples of PA technology? Sensors are a prime example of PA technology that helps make farms more efficient and productive. Sensors serve various functions by helping farmers gather data on the availability of water in soil, the level of compaction in soil, leaf temperature, insect and disease infestation, and other areas. Weather modeling is another component of PA that can help farms be more costeffective and efficient. Whereas in years past many farms would need to manually assess certain variables to determine when to harvest, weather modeling technology has enabled some farmers to generate remote readings, saving time and money.
