FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE Condition of the property: Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high.That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real estate investments.

DID YOU KNOW?
Pizza continues to remain a popular comfort food and go-to staple for quick, family-friendly meals. Statistics Brain reports that 93 percent of Americans eat at least one piece of pizza per month. Five billion pizzas are sold worldwide each year, and the United States accounts for three billion of those pizzas. The average person will eat 46 slices of pizza each year. The world can thank Raffaele Esposito for creating the first pizza that resembled the pizza the world knows today. Esposito created the pizza for Italy’s Queen Margherita when she visited Naples in 1889. The crust was garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to represent the national colors of Italy: red, white and green.

Embarrassing display of flags in our town
Brighter Vent
Monroe County Sheriff Dept.
On behalf of Seniors in Henrietta, I would like to thank the Monroe County Sheriff staff for all their help with the Sheriff’s Academy; we learned a lot and enjoyed the time spent at the different facilities. Thank you to all of you and especially to Deputy Kelly Valvassori who helped us through every class. Thank you.
Penny Saver Carrier
Thank you to the GV Penny Saver carrier who put up a new tube in Oakfield to replace one that got hit with the snowplow this winter. He was so nice and helpful for me to be able to get the Penny Saver without having to bungie cord the old one. We are lucky to have such a thoughtful carrier.
Big Shout Out!
Thank you everyone who was patient and asked if I needed help when my car broke down in Dansville recently. A big thank you to all. To the young gentleman who came back around after I was able to coast down to Agway parking lot, and helped push out of traffic lane. Kim E kept me calm while my hubby arrived, and Dansville police for their assistance.
It is tradition in our towns, communities, and country on Memorial Day to pay homage and appreciation for those who have sacrificed the most for our freedom and way of life. The simplest way our towns do this is by displaying our American flag on poles throughout the town’s center. It feels heartwarming to see these flags flying every year in every town as you drive through. Except one [local] town. This year, the town board and highway department decided to save some money and hang up used, old, faded, and torn flags on broken and bent poles. Every single flag was torn and faded! Some poles were bent towards the ground, some were pushed up flat against the utility pole, and some poles were placed with no flag at all. Just a pole. It is a disgrace to those who have served, those who have lost one who has served, and all of us! The town board has been notified and no response has come from them. Crickets... time for them to take care of the small things that bring us all together!
Main Street Woes
Our wonderful Main Street is full of potholes and destroyed pavement. NOT being addressed. [local road] is NOT safe due to the lack of repair to the potholes of winter. The tar filled in the holes is NOT working. The speed of the traffic on Main Street is NOT being addressed. The electric motorcycles on the streets going the wrong way or on the sidewalks or just being unsafe are NOT being addressed. The answers by the folks in charge of these issues are NOT appropriate and NOT demonstrating the care for the safety of our community.

Immunity to Rubella Does Not Equal Immunity to Measles
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD
Who can get PTSD? - The APA notes that exposure to an upsetting traumatic event is necessary before a diagnosis of PTSD can be made.However,that exposure can be indirect. For example, police officers who are repeatedly exposed to details of heinous crimes can develop PTSD even though they are not victims of those crimes and did not witness them. But the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that individuals are more likely to develop PTSD if they are directly exposed to a trauma or injured.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I read a recent column of yours in which you said that everyone my age can assume we’ve had measles. I remember having measles in the second grade but have a vague memory of my parents calling it German measles, which I believe is rubella.
If a person has had either, do they have immunity to both types of measles? -- S.F.
Q. A.
ANSWER: If you were born before 1957, you are likely but not 100% sure to be immune to measles (sometimes called red measles) and mumps. However, rubella (German measles) is a different disease, and immunity to one does not ensure immunity to the other.
The biggest health concern with rubella is when a woman of childbearing age contracts it as the potential damage to her developing fetus can be severe. So, every woman who could get pregnant is tested for immunity at the earliest opportunity. All health care workers should have documented immunity to measles, mumps and rubella.
The United States is in the middle of a large measles outbreaknow,andthoselivinginanareawithtransmission should be sure that they are immune to measles. This can be done by checking blood antibody levels or giving an extra dose to those who have already been immunized (or two doses to those who have never been immunized).
At the time that I write this, there is no rubella outbreak in the U.S., but if there is, the advice will be similar to demonstrating immunity to rubella as it is for measles.
HOW TO OVERCOME WORKOUT FATIGUE
Eat a balanced diet. The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City advises that a well-balanced diet that includes complex proteins, fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates can help men and women combat workout fatigue. People who are working out in an effort to lose weight may think that combining exercise with a diet low in carbohydrates can help them achieve their goal more quickly. However, the HSS advises people dealing with workout fatigue to increase the amount of carbohydrates they eat. Doing so will help muscles maintain their glycogen levels, which are depleted during exercise. According to the HSS, carbs should account for between 40 and 60 percent of aerobic athletes’ caloric intake, and between 30 and 35 percent for anaerobic athletes.
polltime
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2025 is breaking records for heat and other climate anomalies already. In Western NY, we’ve already had record-matching and -breaking days, and summer’s just begun. What do you do to beat the heat?
- Stay indoors during peak heat hours
- Use fans or AC to keep cool
- Visit a public cooling center or pool
- Change outdoor work or activity schedule
- Check on neighbors, family, or pets
- Nothing different so far

See if you can count the total amount of blueberries there are to pick from!
_ A single blueberry bushcan produce as many as 6,000 blueberries per year.
_ There are two types of blueberries: highbush and lowbush. Highbush blueberries are the type you commonly find at grocery stores and farmers markets. Lowbush blueberries are smaller, sweeter blueberries often used for processing into juices, jams, blueberry mu n mixes, and so on.

Why Vaccinate Your Pet
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I don’t see the point of vaccinating a pet, especially if they’re kept inside for most of their lives. I’ve read that vaccines can cause more harm than good. It’s not natural to vaccinate. A dog or cat’s immune system should be able to handle most diseases. So why bother to vaccinate? -Natural Pet Parent
DEAR NATURAL: You couldn’t be more wrong. A pet’s immune system is not an invulnerable shield against all attacks; it’s a constantly adapting system that has to “learn” what microbes and viruses are threats and which are not. Unfortunately, some diseases cause serious illness or death before a pet’s immune system can respond to them.
Part of what vaccines do is help a pet’s immune system learn about specific threats without causing harm to your pet.Vaccines contain a safe, weakened or killed version of a pathogen; when injected, the immune system produces antibodies to specifically attack that pathogen -- and they remember that in the future.
A disease like rabies, which is always fatal, is best fought off by a vaccine, which helps your immune system mount a frontline defense if a pet is exposed to it. For example, if a vaccinated cat is attacked and bitten by a rabid fox or raccoon, a veterinarian will give the cat a booster shot and monitor the cat in quarantine for 30 to 60 days. An unvaccinated cat who is attacked by a rabid animal might be euthanized immediately, or quarantined for up to 4 months.
Because there is no such thing as 100% prevention fro exposure to various diseases, even your indoor pets need to have their core vaccinations.
From Geneseo to Spencerport, more cafes and breweries are allowing pets on patios. Call ahead or check social media, but many outdoor spots now welcome well-behaved pups. Don’t forget water and shade... those sunny patio bricks get hot!

The dangers of bagged salad greens
Sometimes we just want to take the easy path and quickly grab a few things for dinner. Bagged salad greens are often on our list -- but it’s the last place we should be taking a shortcut in meal prep.
Between contaminated water in the fields and many people involved in the processing, handling and storage, food safety experts are pointing to bagged salads as the item near the top of the list for safety concerns and outbreaks of E. coli. And that makes it a real risk for seniors or anyone with a compromised immune system.
How to avoid the dangers of E. coli? Buy whole head lettuce instead of bagged and throw away the outer leaves. Rinse the lettuce under running cold water and dry it with paper towels. Besides the force of the water during rinsing, the drying with paper towels can also help remove the E. coli contamination. Do the same with other leafy greens such as spinach.
However, if you do want to buy packaged salad greens, the dilemma comes when the package claims that they have been pre-washed. “Triple washed! Ready to eat!” the package will proclaim. The question is: Should you believe it? Or should you go ahead and wash it? The experts, including the FDA and USDA, say not to wash it. The reason, they say, is that we at home are more likely to contaminate the greens ourselves with a dirty sink.
People on blogs across the internet are insulted, however, being told they would contaminate food in their own kitchens. They intend to wash all produce, even if the package says it’s not needed and even if it’s organic from a farmer’s market.
It’s difficult to know what to believe, but one thing is a fact: Seniors who develop an E. coli infection can become severely ill. Take care.

Empowering Girls and Building Connection in Wayne County
“We’re seeing our girls evolve in kindness and compassion, and we’re watching that play out in their relationships, both inside and outside of the organization.”
JOANN SALERNO
eterm“glowup”signifiestransformation and self-improvement. So when JoAnn Salerno and Mary Jones of Clyde were thinking of names for their startup nonprofit to empower youth girls, they looked at what was trending – and Glow Up Girl was born.
Not only was the phrase a popular trend on social media at the time, but the Glow Up Girl co-founders created an acronym arounditthatexpressesthedeepermeaning of their organization – Girls Leading Our Way through Unlimited Potential.
Serving girls in grades 3-12 in Wayne County, the organization was incorporated in April 2022, born from a need to help girls like Salerno and Jones, who both experienced trauma and poverty while growing up. Salerno says, “You find out very quickly how difficult things can be, how to get help in the community, how to fund things that
With a space available at an affordable price, they planned to operate as an a er-school program. Initially, however, they began providing services in the school to reduce bullying, improve attendance and grades, and build confidence, which generated a modest revenue stream to support the program. Salerno says the girls wanted more, so from there, they began working with grants and funders who wanted to support their mission.
A grant from Lowe’s enabled them to remodel their existing space, which was designed with girls in mind, and Salerno says, “Our space is 100% a space where girls want to be. It’s shiny, it’s pink, it draws girls here and gives them a place where they can feel special.”
While Salerno and Jones started the program with girls experiencing trauma and poverty in mind, they also wanted to remove barriers. “One of the barriers I found was finding acceptance from people who were not like me. We serve all girls because we’re trying to break down the barriers that keep us apart,” Salerno says. “We try to put them in a space where they can talk candidly about what life is like for them, so girls that aren’t experiencing it can understand that it’s not just something on social media and TV. We’re trying to give girls living under challenging situations opportunities to connect and relate to others like themselves and create connections that will last a lifetime.”
at the conclusion of the program. “We gave a good picture of what life a er school can be like, [so the girls could] see themselves in a variety of spaces and see themselves as part of a plan for their own future,” Salerno says.
roughout the school year, they host an a er-school program Monday through ursday, with plans to extend it to five days a week next year. Two days a week, they host a book club and have seen girls who couldn’t read or had poor reading skills improve significantly (it’s been so notable, they want to start measuring progress). ey also help with homework and work with schools to help improve grades. Of course, there’s unstructured time for games and bonding. And every month, Cornell Cooperative Extension and Optimal Health staff drop in and work with the girls to prepare healthy snacks.
Duringthesummer,theorganizationhostsasix-weeksummer program, in which girls go on field trips, attend a weeklong equine camp, and learn country line dancing, among other activities. e organization also works with Wayne Behavioral Health Network and Optimal Health to provide emotional and mental health services. is year, their summer program includes English language and literacy initiatives, along with opportunities for volunteerism that connect the girls to their community.

Salerno says, “It’s just incredible, the changes we see. We see girls choosing each other and that wouldn’t ordinarily happen. We’re seeing true friendships evolve where girls can depend on each other.”
Going forward, Salerno says the hope is to expand outside Wayne County. ey also plan to offer a women’s financial literacy program, equipping mothers with the tools to succeed and pass those skills on to their daughters. Mentorship programs are also on the way, designed to help older girls grow as leaders while supporting and inspiring younger ones.
Salerno says, “We really just provide a safe space, the rules are clear, expectations are set, and we’re kind and compassionate. Every girl is treated equally. We have a truly trauma-informed staff. We treat every girl as if they’re experiencing poverty and trauma, so we know we’re taking emotional care of them. We’re seeing our girls evolve in kindness and compassion, and we’re watching that play out in their relationships, both inside and outside of the organization.”

HOW TO CONSERVE ENERGY THROUGHOUT SUMMER
Stop cooling an empty home. A cool home might be the ultimate necessity during summer heat waves, but there’s no reason to cool a residence when no one is home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, operating thermostats more efficiently can help homeowners trim their cooling costs by as much as 10 percent. One way to be more efficient with thermostats is to keep the house warmer than normal when no one is home. Programmable thermostats can be set so air conditioning units turn onshortlybeforeresidentsarrivehome,ensuringthehouseiscomfortable and no energy is wasted.

HOBBIES THAT SUIT A SUMMERTIME VIBE
Sailing/boating: Though it might involve a little more physical activity than reading, sailing and/or boating is an ideal summertime activity. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that nearly 40 percent of the United States population lives in a coastal area, making boating and sailing an accessible hobby for a significant percentage of Americans. Even those who live far away from the ocean undoubtedly live close to a river or lake. What better way to enjoy warm summer afternoons than on a boat?
