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.
Résumé service: In this competitive job market, individuals need to take advantage of every opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Résumé rules have changed, and graduates will be best served by companies that know the ins and outs of writing effective résumés. Employers often use digital scanning software to sift through applicants, so knowing which keywords and tags to use can ensure a résumé gets noticed. Costs can range from $100 to $200, depending on the services desired.

RAISING TROUT, BUILDING CONNECTIONS: CAL-MUM
BIOLOGY STUDENTS RELEASE
CLASSROOM-RAISED TROUT INTO OATKA CREEK
BY SUZIE WELLS
Caledonia-Mumford High School biology students, led by teacher Mr. Benjamin Hoy, recently wrapped up a months-long hands-on science project with a splash by releasing classroom-raised brown trout into Oatka Creek at Scottsville’s Canawaugus Park.
The project, now in its second year under Mr. Hoy’s direction, began last October when the students received brown trout eggs from the Bath Fish Hatchery. Over the course of seven months, students were responsible for the trouts’ daily care, including feeding the fish, maintaining water quality, and closely monitoring tank conditions.
The project wasn’t without its challenges. A significant number of fish died over a school break early in the year. Thanks to the Bath Fish Hatchery, raising trout of the same age (fish hatch at a certain time every year, Hoy says), Mr. Hoy and his classes were able to receive replacements and continue the project, with added vigilance over school breaks, of course, to avoid repeat casualties.
Mr. Hoy’s biology classes took turns caring for the trout. Students rotated through specific roles—one feeding the fish, one cleaning the tank, serving as the class “ichthyologist,” or fish scientist, overseeing the health and behavior of the growing trout. Hoy says, “Students were involved every day. Everyone always checked on the fish.”
As the trout matured, the class obtained a stocking permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), allowing them to release the fish into their new home in Oatka Creek. Students were excited to watch the trout they had raised for months swim into a natural local waterway—many of them fish there regularly themselves. Hoy says, “Seeing the students pick up the fish and toss them into the creek—it was awesome to see the culmination of all their hard work.”
After the release, the class celebrated at the Scottsville Diner, and Hoy sends heartfelt appreciation for the staff there, raving, “The Diner did an amazing job dealing with 40 excited students after the trout release.”
“Seeing the students pickupthefishand toss them into the creek—it wasawesome to see the culmination of all their hardwork.”
MR. HOY
Students Kaelan Taschner and Christian Backus played key roles in keeping the tank in good condition throughout the project. Hoy explains, “Kaelan was all in on the fish. He has huge tanks at home and knew more about raising fish than I did. He even brought in a large piece of driftwood from the creek, which helped improve water quality by absorbing certain chemicals.” Christian was equally essential, often taking responsibility for water changes and ensuring the tank’s delicate ecosystem remained stable.
about tigers and lions and great animals out in the world, but connecting with the local animals and ecosystems is important. It’s important to know what the native ecosystems of your town are.”
That local connection is especially meaningful in a community like Caledonia, which is home to the historic Seth Green fish hatchery—the first in the Western Hemisphere— and which hosts an annual Trout Festival each spring to celebrate the heritage. Hoy says,
Mr. Hoy, who holds a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from SUNY Brockport and a Master’s in Science Education from Buffalo State, didn’t always plan to be a science teacher. A former journalism major who once dreamed of writing for National Geographic, Hoy was drawn to environmental science and working with kids during summer camp. He’s now finishing his fourth year teaching at Caledonia-Mumford. When a former teacher at Cal-Mum retired and left behind a classroom fish tank, Hoy naturally took over the project.
Hoy believes the trout-raising experience makes biology more relevant and personal, saying, “A lot of times, bio classes teach students

“Waterways, fishing, and fish conservation are so important to this community. I can tell by the students fishing and how much it’s part of their lives. It’s just part of the community here.”
As the biology students return to textbooks and labs, they carry with them a deeper appreciation for their local environment—and a lasting memory of watching the fish they raised swim off into the current.

Dog Barking!
To the neighbor who very immaturely shouted out of their window when my dog was barking, “Dog barking!”, maybe next time you have an issue with my dog you can come to my door and discuss it with me. Let me be clear, there are at LEAST 10 dogs within the surrounding homes, all of them bark, that’s what dogs do sometimes. I do not leave my dogs outside for hours on end, let alone 24 hours a day/365 days a year like some people, and if they are enjoying the outdoors it’s within the lawful timeframe and isn’t violating curfew. And if they do seem to be barking excessively for whatever reason, I responsibly bring them back indoors. I have a hunch on a few of you it could’ve been. Depending on which one, with the amount of screaming, yard tools and recreational vehicles, or even your own dogs barking, you have some nerve. I don’t play about my dogs. You picked the wrong neighbor to shout at.

Protecting Honeybees
Provide clean sources of water. A small garden feature or a rainwater collection is enough to provide bees with a drink whenneeded.
Time spent in the backyard on spring and summer afternoons and evenings contributes heavily to the popularity of these times of year. Many homeowners go to great lengths to make their outdoor living spaces as luxurious as possible, only to be bothered by uninvited and bothersome guests: mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are not just pesky nuisances, but they’re also harmful. According to the American Mosquito Control Association, more than one million people across the globe die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Such diseases include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus.
The AMCA notes that many of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes can be linked to travel to endemic areas. But mosquitoes in North America can still be harmful, and bites may result in severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to mosquito saliva.

Those lights need to be plugged in, which increases the risk for electrical accidents.When utilizing an extension cord outdoors, never use a cord designated for indoor use. Outdoor extension cords are better insulated than cords made for indoor use. That insulation provides better protection against the elements, including sunlight, changes in temperature and moisture. When using an extension cord outdoors, make sure the cord is secured and not left lying on a deck or patio where it can easily become a tripping hazard.

FUN WAYS TO KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED OVER SUMMER BREAK
Reading: Parents may be surprised by how much their children enjoy a good book. A recent poll from the National Education Association found that 70 percent of middle school students read more than 10 books a year. The National Literacy Trust reports that roughly 45 percent of children between the ages of eight and 11 enjoy reading “very much.” When suggesting to children that they read more this summer, parents can note the many ways that reading for pleasure differs from reading for school. Point out that kids won’t have to submit book reports and emphasize that they can choose their own books. Depending on children’s ages, introduce kids to a series like “Harry Potter,” which is a set of seven fantasy novels that has helped millions of young people across the globe discover and develop a fondness for reading. Weekly visits to the library, where kids can pick from hundreds of books, can get youngsters even more excited about reading.
Understanding food labels is a great first step toward eating healthy.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Avoiding Falls
The numbers are shocking: Per the CDC, one in four seniors age 65 or older experience falls each year. That’s 25% of seniors. Of those, 37% suffer an injury that either keeps them from their normal activities for at least a day or that requires medical care.
Per the map accompanying that CDC article on falls, several states exceed that 25% average -- by a lot.
When it comes to deaths, falls are the number one cause of injury-related deaths among seniors, and the numbers are grim.
The reason for all the falls varies. We might have a physical condition that affects coordination. We might be taking a drug that causes dizziness. We might be wearing shoes that aren’t good for sturdy walking.
We need to do everything we can to avoid being a victim of fall injury.While there are several factors we can’t do anything about, there are other things that are under our control.
For example,increase the number of lamps in your home,and turn them on to make sure there are no dark areas. Have one of the lamps controlled by the switch at the door.
Keep clear paths around the house and don’t let magazines or newspapers stack up on the floor next to your recliner. Don’t let phone or electrical cords drape across walking areas.
Get rid of small area rugs.
Have someone install grab bars in the shower, and use an anti-slip mat.
Ask the senior center about creating a class on exercises to increase balance and strength, or even a falls prevention seminar. Or check YouTube online for videos.
Get your eyes checked every year and your prescription upgraded if necessary.
To learn more about avoiding falls, go to either the CDC (cdc.gov), the National Council onAging (ncoa.org) or Mayo (mayoclinic.org) websites and do a search for fall prevention.

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY IDEAS
Soak up the city lights. Big cities tend to clear out on summer weekends, which can make this an ideal time to visit. City visitors won’t have to contend with the sizable crowds that descend on metropolises in winter, when indoor entertainment is in high demand. That means savvy travelers also may find discounts on live theater and local concerts. It also won’t be as difficult to book reservations at the latest culinary hotspots, particularly for travelers who book early.

COLD MEDICINE INGREDIENTS CAN RAISE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
(NAPSI)—There’s a reason it’s called the “common” cold: Adults have an average two to three colds per year and children even more, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Problem
Most people recover from a cold within a week to 10 days. But decongestants may raise blood pressure or interfere with the effectiveness of some prescribed blood pressure medications, according to the American Heart Association.
Read The Label
Be sure to read labels on over-the-counter (OTC) medications, especially if you have high blood pressure (HBP). Some contain decongestants such as oxymetazoline, phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine.
You should also look for warnings related to high blood pressure or HBP medication and talk to your health care professional before taking OTC medications or supplements.And don’t stop taking prescribed medications without talking to your doctor.
Some OTCs are also high in sodium, which can raise blood pressure. So look at the active and inactive ingredients lists for the words “sodium” or “soda.” If you have high blood pressure, you should consume less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day from all sources—and one dose of some OTCs can contain more than a whole day’s allowance.
Be Careful With Supplements Or Natural (Naturopathic) Remedies
Special pills, vitamins or drinks don’t substitute for prescription medications and lifestyle modifications. Talk to your health care provider before taking any OTC drug or supplement that claims to lower your blood pressure. They may not work as advertised and may interfere with other medications. Some, like natural licorice and diet pills, can even raise your blood pressure.
What Else To Watch For
Other drugs and substances that can raise your blood pressure include:
• Alcohol
• Amphetamines
• Antidepressants
• Atypical Antipsychotics (such as clozapine and olanzapine)
• Caffeine
• Oral Contraceptives
• Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs: ibuprofen and naproxen sodium, for example)
• Illicit Drugs
• Systemic Corticosteroids (for example, prednisone and methylprednisolone)

Using Supplements To Lower Heart Risk Isn’t Backed By Evidence
DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a CT scan, and my score was 184. My cardiologist put me on 40 mg of Lipitor, which I reluctantly took for three weeks until I developed severe pain in my feet and hands. I stopped taking it, and the pain went away.
I’m a 64-year-old male in excellent shape.I’m currently taking a chelation supplement, vitamin K2 (MK-7), and red rice yeast with CoQ10. Do you have any suggestions for the treatment of my issue? -- A.D.
Q. A.
ANSWER: I’m sorry to say that I disagree with all of your choices. Lipitor is a reasonable choice for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes in a person at an increased risk, such as a 64-year-old man with a coronary calcium score of 184. (I can’t give a better assessment of your risk without knowing a lot more about you, such as your blood pressure and cholesterol.)
Muscle aches are not uncommon with statin drugs like Lipitor, but research has shown that in most people with muscle or joint aches who take statins, the medication is not the underlying cause. (In one study where a person didn’t know whether they were taking a statin, the symptoms disappeared. In another, a person who changed from a statin to a placebo every two months was very likely to have no more pain on the placebo than they would on the statin.)
Nonetheless, there are other statins that might not cause pain, as well as alternatives like ezetimibe and bempedoic acid, which do not increase the risk of muscle aches and have been proven to reduce heart risk.
A recent large trial on chelation using powerful intravenous infusions did not show any improvement in hospitalizations for heart disease, heart attack, stroke or death compared to a placebo. I don’t recommend an unregulated oral supplement.
Although people who take menaquinone-7 (also called vitamin K2) have a lower heart disease risk than those who don’t, a randomized trial to prevent calcification of the aortic valve found no benefit. I did not find a trial showing that treating people with vitamin K2 led to a reduced heart risk.
Red yeast rice contains the same active ingredient as the statin drug lovastatin, but at such a low dose that cholesterol levels were not substantially lowered in a recent trial. CoQ10 has been repeatedly shown to be no better than a placebo at reducing statin side effects.
In addition to medication therapy, it’s important not to underestimate the effects of a healthy, plant-based diet and regular moderate exercise.

HOW BUSINESSES CAN EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYEES
Highlight workers on social media. Social media is a significant part of modern business operations. Companies can create a Wall of Fame page that puts a weekly spotlight on a different employee who is contributing in his or her own way to the operations. Not only does this improve the morale of the team, it provides the public with a glimpse into the positive working environment of the company.

Treating pet sunburns and heat injuries
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I took my German Shepherd “Maximilian” for a walk at lunchtime today. Since we got back, he’s been limping and whining. I don’t see any debris on his paws, but the pads on his front paws feel hot. Did he burn them somehow? -- Greg B., Tampa
DEAR GREG: From his symptoms, it’s very likely that he burned his pads on a hot sidewalk or street. You’ll need to treat them quickly; first aid is straightforward for this injury.
-- Fill a shallow bowl with cold (but not icy) water. Gently submerge your dog’s paws in the water -- you may need to do one at a time and give him treats throughout the process -- for 10 to 15 minutes. (If he doesn’t tolerate the water bowl at all, wrap each paw in a cool cloth instead.)
-- Wash his paws with cool, soapy water or disinfect carefully, and pat them dry immediately.
-- Put clean socks on his paws so he doesn’t lick them, and encourage him to rest.
Check Maximilian’s paw pads every few hours. If you see any sign of broken skin, blisters or infection, or if he is still limping tomorrow, take him to the vet for further evaluation and treatment.
Burnt pads can happen very quickly in the summertime, especially in southern states. Walk dogs in the early morningbeforesunriseorjustaftersunsettominimizethis risk, or keep them on the grass and away from pavement during the day.Booties provide some protection,but can’t always stop heat transfer to paws. After each walk, check their pads and wrap in a cool cloth for a few minutes, if they feel warm.
