Dansville-Wayland- Genesee Valley Penny Saver- 4-18-25
Find a location with hands-on activities. Children may grow bored of simply taking in the sights. Vacations that enable them to “do” instead of just “see” may be more enjoyable. Visit locations with “touch” museums or science centers that encourage kids to get in on the action. Historic locales may do demonstrations or reenactments of how life was in eras past. Remember to include children in the family activities and give things a try, such as helping paddle a canoe or light a fire on a camping trip.
Don’t overlook smaller theme parks. While kids may have their hearts set on traveling long distances to the widely popular theme parks, do not rule out options closer to home. Smaller parks may not have every attraction, but they do boast a variety of activities and rides that can keep children occupied for hours. Remember that amusement parks reach peak capacity when kids aren’t in school. It may be wise to vacation at off-peak times to avoid the crowds and save time spent waiting in line.
Choose places of cultural impact. Family vacations do not need to be limited to riding roller coasters. Children can learn a lot and take away lasting memories from vacations that open children’s eyes to something new. Visiting a large city, such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, or Atlanta, can be a vacation in education. Metro

Family Friendly Vacation
Old-fashioned family vacations are a treasured art of many family traditions. Such excursions may be the only time families get to spend any extended time together.
Families have plenty of vacation prospects at their disposal. If this is the year your brood bucks tradition and tries a new vacation destination, explore these family-friendly possibilities.
areas boast attractions that can excite children, including tall buildings, museums and public transportation hubs just waiting to be explored. Families venturing internationally may want to see the cultural centers of Rome, London or Athens.
Consider a family resort. If a beachside adventure is your family’s idea of the perfect retreat, explore your options with regard to family resorts. For an all-inclusive price, these resorts may couple food packages with accommodations and activities to keep families happy. Check with popular hotel chains to see if they offer all-inclusive packages in destinations your family wants to visit. Parents who are pressed for time o en find all-inclusive resorts offer great values and don’t involve too much advanced planning.
Go off the grid. A memorable family vacation does not have to be spent in a the heart of it all. Booking a campsite location and then spending a few days in the great outdoors allows families to get back to nature while enjoying an inexpensive vacation. Families can camp in lodges or basic cabins, or rough it outside in a tent. Some families enjoy the benefits of renting an RV and visiting various campsites on their vacations. Let the activities unfold as you explore different trails and backroads along the way.

Being Insistent About a Scan Saves the Life Of a Cancer Patient &body mind
FEATURED BUSINESSES
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Discover the Human Touch in Hearing Technology
Sue DeBruyne, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology
DEAR DR. ROACH: About 12 years ago, I had a scan done to look for the cause of a problem that I was having for many months: pain in my abdomen and vomiting. (It turned out to be Barrett’s esophagus, which was found with a scope.) Fortunately for me, I read the report from the scan. The report said there was a spot on my kidney that ought to be checked in a year. I was very busy at the time, and my doctor retired, so I had to find another one. Five years went by, and one day during a routine visit with my doctor, I remembered the report and asked my new doctor for another scan. She said she couldn’t order a scan without a reason. I then told her about the report from five years ago, but she did a cursory look at my papers and said she could not find it. I asked her to keep looking. She looked again, found it, then ordered a scan.
This move saved my life. The scan showed something larger than before. I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital and met a very good doctor who told me there was an 80% chance that I had cancer, and we should forgo a biopsy and remove it. He did this, and the cancer was fully contained. I didn’t have to do chemotherapy.
It has now been five years with yearly scans and no problems in my kidney. Please encourage people to read their reports. -- F.B.
ANSWER: : Although doctors should read these carefully and act on them appropriately, important findings can be overlooked sometimes. You are absolutely right that you are your own best health advocate, and you did the right thing by bringing the finding up to your new doctor.

SAFE WAYS TO DEAL WITH SINUS PRESSURE
Sinuses are bony, hollow, air-filled cavities inside the face and skull. They are located in the low-center of the forehead, behind the eyes and in bones behind the nose. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center says the sinuses lighten the skull and produce a mucus that moisturizes the inside of the nose. Unfortunately, when colds or the flu strike, sinuses may become one of the first spots affected by these illnesses.
When the sinuses are working properly, mucus will drain into the nasal passages or out the back of the throat. Most of this drainage goes unnoticed. However, the American Sinus Institute says that factors such as allergies, illness, weather changes, dehydration, and dry air can make the sinus mucus thicker and drainage more difficult. This is when problems like infection, stuffiness or throat irritation may occur.
In order to combat sinus congestion and drainage concerns, people may try certain strategies that include flushing the sinuses and thinning the mucus. It is imperative to use safe flushing methods to keep the sinuses healthy.
Neti pots are among the more popular methods to flushing sinuses. These small teapot-like devices with elongated snouts have become a fixture in many medicine cabinets. Because they are drug-free alternatives, they can be handy for those worried about antihistamines making them drowsy or reacting with other drugs. Neti pots and other nasal irrigation systems use saline to moisten and clear out nasal passages to promote drainage of sinus cavities. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using these devices improperly can increase one’s risk of infection. CBS News says that neti pots have even been linked to the deadly Naegleria fowleri, which is otherwise known as the “braineating” amoeba.
The key to preventing infection is to only use previously boiled, sterile or distilled water to irrigate. Tap water is not adequately filtered, says the FDA, and may contain low levels of organisms that can stay alive in nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections.
Those who are concerned about nasal irrigation safety may be wise to skip neti pots and use pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are bottled for the purpose of alleviating congestion. However, when prepared water is used in a clean neti pot or other device, these methods can be perfectly safe.
Sinuses can get clogged for many reasons. To free up breathing, people are urged to consult their physicians to learn more about how to safely irrigate their nasal passages.

BEE SAFE WHILE GARDENING TO PROTECT POLLINATORS
Stinging insects such as bees and wasps play a vital role as pollinators that maintain the national food supply. However, a multitude of factors, including the lack of available natural habitats for foraging pollinators, diseases, harmful mites and improper pesticide usage, have threatened pollinator health in recent years. As a result, many people have realized the importance of protecting pollinators and even developed gardens geared toward providing safe sources of nectar and pollen. The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) wants to remind homeowners that while creating pollinator-friendly habitats is largely beneficial for both people and pollinators, it is important to keep in mind that some stinging insects can pose significant health and safety risks. In fact, stinging insects send an estimated 500,000 people to the hospital everyyear.
People with known allergies to insect stings or with asthma should be especially careful around pollinators, as stings could trigger a potentially lifethreatening reaction. There is also a common myth that bees and wasps can only sting once before they die. This only holds true for some species of stinging insects, and people should always be cautious around hives and nests. If a person comes in close contact with a stinging insect, swatting at it will often provoke it to become more aggressive. The best course of action is to remain calm and slowly walk in one direction until the insect losesinterest.
Maintaining a garden that serves as a welcome oasis for wild bees or community bees that are being raised by local professionals is a great way to protect pollinators. Without proper beekeeping training, however, homeowners should never allow stinging insects to take up residence on their property.
If a hive is spotted in or around the yard, a pest management professional or professional beekeeper should be contacted to safely remove it and, if possible, move it to a safe location where the bees can be allowed to thrive without posing any dangers to the public. If the hive is located in a building, utilizing a professional is also critically important to ensure every part of it is removed; any leftover combs could contain honey that can ferment and cause serious damage,as well as attract peststo the property.

Scrapes and Cuts
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have an adventurous Shorthaired Pointer named “Gordie” who loves running through the woods behind my home while I walk behind him. He occasionally comes back with scrapes and cuts. I want to share with your readers how I take care of his minor injuries, and when a vet visit is necessary.
Most of the time, Gordie’s scrapes are very minor. I always check him when we get back to the house, because he can easily pick up ticks, too. I remove any clinging ticks and kill them right away. I check the pads under his paws, and run my hand along his coat to remove burrs. If he has a scrape on his side or paw, I clean it with warm water, disinfect it and put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it’s a place where he can scratch or lick, I cover it with a gauze bandage for a couple of days.
Last month, Gordie limped over to me with a deep laceration on his left front paw pad. Fortunately, we weren’t far from home. I carried him inside and gently looked at the injury. It wasn’t bleeding too badly, but the cut was very deep, and trying to clean it was very painful for him. This time, we had to see the vet. I wrapped his paw in gauze to protect it and off we went. The vet stitched him up, and Gordie has to wear a lampshade collar for the next week or so to let it heal.
I hope my story will be helpful to readers. -- Tyler N., Dracut, Massachusetts
DEAR TYLER: This is very helpful! Best wishes to Gordie for a speedy recovery. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

10 TIPS TO GET KIDS READING MORE
Ask your child to read a book to you. Play a board game together.
Take your child to get their own library card. Read newspaper comic strips or comic books.
Ask kids to write a short story and read it out loud. Read and prepare a recipe together.
Make bedtime stories a nightly routine.
Play word games like reading tongue twisters, doing crossword searches or unscrambling words.
Take a book with you wherever you go, so you can read together at any opportunity.
Keep a book on your child’s nightstand, so they are prompted to read if they wake up early.
It’s never too early to begin reading to babies. In fact, reading to infants beginning at birth helps support their cognitive development and their bond with parents. It also increases the likelihood that parents will continue reading to children as they grow, improving language skills and concentration to prepare them for academic success.
Zero to Three, an organization focused on early childhood development, recommends these book-type guidelines for babies and toddlers:
Birth to 6 Months - chunky board books, soft fabric books and vinyl bath books
6 to 9 Months - board books with short, simple stories and colorful illustrations
9 to 18 Months - board books with simple stories, stories with rhymes and phrases that repeat, and stories with pictures of other babies and familiar objects like animals
18 to 24 Months - longer, slightly more complex stories; humorous stories; and stories featuring silly rhymes
24 to 26 Months - books with paper pages, nonfiction stories about things like animals or seasons, and books that discuss jobs

studies show that good reading habits in older adults can help improve memory, sharpen decisionmaking skills, reduce stress and protect against Alzheimer’s and dementia.
What Expecting Parents Can Do To Make Their Homes Safer
• Conceal cables and cords. Cable and cord concealers are inexpensive and easily installed. Often used to cover cords hanging down from mounted televisions, concealers also can be used to hide cords coming from computers, lamps and other items that can pose a threat to young children.
• Avoid hand-me-down kids’ furniture. The older a piece of furniture is, the less likely it is that the item will meet current safety guidelines. Some parents may be tempted to let their children sleep in the same crib they slept in as kids decades ago, but it’s safer to eschew nostalgia in favor of products that meet the latest safety standards.
• Get rid of potential choking hazards. Prior to bringing their babies home, expecting parents can remove all small trinkets and other items that curious children may want to put in their mouths. When buying toys for kids, read the packaging to make sure each item is safe for babies and avoid buying or accepting any gifts with small pieces.
• Store all medicines on high shelves behind cabinet doors. Vitamins and medicines should be stored on high shelves behind cabinet doors. If kids can see them, they’ll likely try to grab them. Hiding medicines on high shelves behind closed cabinet doors reduces the risk that kids will be poisoned and suffer a fallrelated injury.

A New Internet Scam
I’d thought I could identify an internet scam when it showed up, but there’s a new one out now. It’s slick and potentially dangerous if you fall for it.
It’s called the CAPTCHA scam. CAPTCHA stands for “completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart.” They are those annoying interruptions when you’re trying to access a webpage. You typically have to click a box to prove you’re not a robot.Then you have to type in the skewed letters on the screen and click all the parts of the streetlight, or car or bus or whatever the image is. All this before it allows you to go to the page you’re trying to see.
The newest scam is that these CAPTCHAs are spreading malware in your computer with every step.
This is a sneaky scam because we’ve been lulled into complacency about those CAPTCHA verification tests, and we might tend to just click on it to get through it. Things are different now. If you come across a CAPTCHA, check the address of the webpage by looking for “https” to be sure that little “s” is present.
Here’s how the scams work:
You might be instructed to download a file or to press certain keys. Or, after completing the first step, you might end up on a fake webpage that looks a lot like the one you were trying to get to.
Once you get through the steps, malware is installed on your computer without you knowing, and its job is to hunt for personal information on your machine.
If you suddenly get a CAPTCHA popping up when you don’t expect it, back out of the page. Don’t go there.
Even if you’re sure you’re safe, don’t download anything that a CAPTCHA steers you to.
And as always, keep good virus protection on your computer.

Avon Rotary Club and Partners
Build Beds for Local Children in Need
BY COLLIN HAYES
On Saturday, March 29th, the spirit of “Service Above Self” was in full swing as the Avon Rotary Club spearheaded a service project in collaboration with Sleep in Heavenly Peace – Rochester (SHP). A dedicated team of 45 volunteers came together to construct 37 beds for local children who currently lack a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
e event, held in Macedon, saw enthusiastic participation from Rotarians representing not only the Avon Club but also the Geneseo, Honeoye Falls-Mendon, Penfield, Rochester Southwest, and Spencerport Clubs.
eir efforts were further bolstered by the generous involvement of friends and family, all united by a common goal.
roughout the day, volunteers worked in teams at specialized stations to assemble each component of a twin bed. One station was dedicated to assembling and sanding the side rails, another to fastening strapping tape to rolls slats, and another to sanding and constructing headboards and footboards, which were then drilled with holes to facilitate easy bolt assembly upon bed delivery. As a final touch, each completed headboard and footboard was branded with the SHP logo.
SHP is an international nonprofit organization, founded in 2012, that is driven by the motto "No Child Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town." With over 300 chapters across the United States and Canada, SHP recognizes that a good night's sleep is fundamental to a child's healthy growth and development. eir core mission is to build and deliver beds to families in need, ensuring no child has to endure the discomfort and insecurity of sleeping on the floor.
e importance of this work is underscored by scientific research. A study published in Lancet Child & Adolescent Health on July 29, 2022, highlighted the critical role of sufficient sleep in healthy brain development. e research indicated that children who consistently get at least nine hours of sleep experience better mental health and exhibit fewer behavioral challenges compared to those with insufficient sleep.
“This is such a worthwhile project. Most of us take for granted a safe and comfortable bed to sleep in. This project was a reminder that too many children in our area go without this basic necessity. It felt good to be able to help local families take care of their kids.”
TIM
HAYES
e Rochester chapter of SHP was established in 2019 by Donna and Shawn Ritchie. eir hard work and dedication have resulted in the delivery of over 1,150 beds to families in need throughout Monroe County. Despite their significant impact, the need remains substantial, as evidenced by SHP’s waitlist of over 400 families.
Tim Hayes, a Geneseo Rotarian who volunteered at the event, said, “ is is such a worthwhile project. Most of us take for granted a safe and comfortable bed to sleep in. is project was a reminder that too many children in our area go without this basic necessity. It felt good to be able to help local families take care of their kids.” e successful bed build event was supported by Avon Rotary’s $5,000 donation to Sleep in Heavenly Peace for building supplies. is contribution included $2,910 in District Grant funding from the Rotary Foundation. e Rotary Foundation invests funds donated by Rotarians and channels them back into communities through District Grants, which local Rotary Clubs like Avon can apply for to finance projects that create meaningful change both locally and internationally. is collaborative support within the Rotary network underscores its commitment to service and community betterment.
Beyond the construction efforts, Rotarians also rallied to donate essential bedding items, which will be delivered alongside the newly built beds. Adding an extra layer of warmth and care, the Henrietta Quilt Club contributed handmade bedding, ensuring each child receives not just a bed, but also the comfort of cozy blankets and linens.
is collaborative service project exemplifies the dedication of the Avon Rotary Club and its partners to addressing critical needs within our community. By providing these 37 beds, Rotarians are not only offering a place to sleep but also contributing to the health, well-being, and brighter futures of local children.

DID YOU KNOW?
One of the ways homeowners cankeeptheirlawnslookinglush and green is to aerate the turf when the need arises. Aerators perforate the soil with small holes. These holes allow air, nutrients and water to penetrate all the way to the roots, helping them grow deep and strong. Deep, strong roots are essential to healthy, lush lawns. While aeration can help many lawns, not every lawn will necessarily need to be aerated. Lawns that getheavyuse,suchasthosethat are often played on by children or pets, will likely benefit from periodic aeration. Feeling the lawn also can help homeowners determine if it needs to be aerated. Lawns that dry out quickly or feel spongy may be overcomewiththatch,whichcan prevent lawns from getting the air,waterandnutrientstheyneed tothrive.Lawncareprofessionals recommend aerating lawns that contain thatch that is more than one-half inch. Thatch also can foster grub infestations, providing another benefit to removing it and aerating a lawn. When to aerate depends on the type of grass. Homeowners should consult with a lawncare professional about the best time to aerate their particular lawns, but it’s generally recommended that cool-season grasses be aerated in early spring or fall, while it’s best to aerate warm seasongrassesinlatespring.

MAKE BEDROOMS MORE CONDUCIVE TO SLEEP
Insufficient sleep causes more problems than many people may know. Fatigue after a poor night’s sleep might seem like an inconvenience that can be easily rectified, but the long-term effects of insufficient sleep are significant.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, researchers have found a link between insufficient sleep and an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes. In one such study exploring that potential link, researchers asked healthy adults to sleep just four hours per night for six nights. At the conclusion of that period, participants’ ability to break down glucose had decreased by an average of 40 percent and reached levels that are consistent with those of older adults at risk for diabetes.
Insufficient sleep may be linked to any of a host of factors, including one’s bedroom environment. An environment that promotes restful sleep can help people suffering from insomnia or restlessness improve the quality of their sleep.

Grow, grow, grow your own veggies
Nothing beats the flavor of fresh-picked fruits and vegetables, but growing your own food benefits more than just your taste buds! Here are a few more great reasons to start a vegetable garden of your own or a community garden:
• Eating just-picked ripened vegetables from your garden lets you enjoy peak nutritional value over food that has been harvested, shipped and distributed to a grocery store.
• Gardening promotes functional fitness through movement. It also treats your body to fresh air and Vitamin D from the sunlight.
• Growing your own food reduces use of fossil fuels traditionally needed to transport produce from farms to grocers.
Getting started is as easy as picking an area that receives at least six hours of daylight exposure, whether it’s a plot of earth or a raised planter box. Find out what grows well in your area by talking to neighbors or vendors at your local farmers’ market, then start small with something you really enjoy eating!
All-Natural Strategies to Safely Protect Fruits and Vegetables
• Plant gardens in raised beds. Raised beds can eliminate some garden infiltration by small critters that come up and under from the ground, such as rabbits, gophers, groundhogs, slugs, and some other crawling pests.
• Prepare homemade insecticide. The environmental information site Treehugger provides information on making a homemade insecticide from vegetable oil and a mild soap. Use one cup of oil with one tablespoon of soap (such as Dr Bronner’s castile soap). Add this mixture to one quart of water in a spray bottle. This concoction can eradicate aphids, mites, thrips, and more by coating insects’ bodies and effectively suffocating them. Soap-and-water sprays or even neem oil sprays work similarly.
• Sprinkle diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth, commonly known as DE, is an abrasive powder comprised of fossilized algae diatoms. It’s commonly used as a filter medium in swimming pools, but also makes an effective pesticide. The material’s abrasive and absorbent qualities draw moisture out of insects, essentially dehydrating them to death. DE can be sprinkled around the base of plants, but will need to be reapplied a er rain and watering.
• Space out plants. Tightly planted crops create a breeding ground for fungal diseases and also provide hiding spots and warmth for pests. Leaving room between plants can help avoid these issues, according to Gardening Channel.
• Use row covers or garden mesh. Many plants can be covered all year long as long as the covers are li ed during flowering if the crops depend on pollination by bees. Veggiemesh® is a cover that can be laid over plants.
• Interplant crops in the garden. Interplanting is a technique that involves alternating crops, herbs and flowers to confuse the pests so they have a difficult time finding what they want to eat. Alternate rows of vegetables with herbs and flowers that appeal to beneficial insects.

TIPS FOR NEWCOMERS TO THE GAME OF
Few hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links.
Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more difficult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend a ernoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course.
Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. e shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you.
Take lessons. Even the very best at self-teaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. When first trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those golfing behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory (there aren’t any) but will offer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals.
Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf’s vast popularity by taking the game home with them. is doesn’t mean building a putting green in your backyard. Rather, purchase some instructional DVDs to learn the game during your down time throughout the week. Many golfers don’t have time to hit the links during the week, but they do have time to watch some DVDs when they get home from work. Such instructional DVDs can help you master your grip and stance, which you can then take with you to the course over the weekend.
Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren’t ready for the professional tour a er your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don’t let some beginner’s frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game. Take note of your surroundings when you hit the links, and appreciate the time you’re spending with your group. If the game becomes more a source of frustration than fun, then take a break and put in some more work away from the course, be it at the driving range or studying at home.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SENIORS
Water aerobics: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that waterbased exercises can be especially helpful individuals with chronic diseases, a category many seniors fall into. The CDC notes that one study published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology found that improves the use of joints affected by arthritis without worsening symptoms. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also notes that swimming can lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Seniors can reap these benefits by going for a dip in their own backyard pools or a local body of water, such as a lake or ocean. Many swim clubs also offer discounted memberships to seniors, making these another great and affordable way to reap the benefits of swimming.

YOU DON’T WANT TO FORGET CURTAINS: Curtains also may have absorbed substantial amounts of dust, dirt and debris over the winter. This might be more visible near the end of winter when more sunlight begins to shine through. Clean the curtains in adherence to the manufacturer instructions before you open windows for the season so any wind that blows in does not spread debris onto nearby furniture. Once the curtains have been washed, opening windows may help them dry more quickly.

he loss of a friend or loved one is seldom easy, particularly if a person had been suffering from an illness. Close friends and family honor the memories of their deceased loved ones in different ways. Charitable giving can be a great way to honor a loved one’s memory while helping others.
Survivors often find comfort in the knowledge that they can do good in the name of a loved one. Tributes or memorial gifts can be approached in different ways and serve as an ongoing reminder of a deceased loved one.
Create a charitable foundation: Those who have the time and resources can establish their own charitable groups in the decedent’s name. This method of charity requires the most time and effort, but can prove to be quite an impactful memorial. Individuals who would like to go this route can consult with financial and tax professionals about the best way to establish a charitable group.
Community foundation: Families can focus on something their loved one cared deeply about, such as animal rescue, children, the arts, or even particular places in a community - such as a local park. According to CarePages, a company that produces free patient websites and offers community support for those coping with illness, families can choose to have their donations funneled to specific charities or nonprofit groups. Otherwise, funds can be allocated to a third party community fund that will distribute money to various organizations no matter where they are located.
Medical tribute: Memorial gifts that assist medical associations or groups working to find cures or offer treatments for diseases are quite popular. If a loved one passed away due to a specific illness, it is common to ask for donations to a specific organization that specializes in information and services pertaining to that illness. Many such groups have a “donate in memory” option on their websites. Oftentimes families are notified regarding who made memorial donations in their loved ones’ names, but the amount of the donation need not be revealed.
Personal intentions: Those who would like to make a donation but cannot think of a charity to associate with their deceased loved one have a host of options at their disposal. Consider donating to a school or library, requesting materials be purchased in the decedent’s name. Otherwise, donate to a general scholarship fund, possibly at the decedent’s alma mater.
Finish their work: If the decedent was engaged in a charitable project prior to their death, volunteer to help complete that project.
Giving back after the death of a loved one is a great way to keep the memory of that person alive.
TRICKS TO KEEP FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FRESH
Get them in water quickly: Place the flowers in a vase or other vessel with water promptly after making the cuts. Some florists like to cut the stems under water to prevent air bubbles from forming in the stems. Choose an arrangement first, then cut and place the flowers in water quickly. This gives fresh arrangements a good chance to last awhile.

Decreased commercial farming interest: Fewer people are working in farming. Land prices for expansion, new government mandates and regulations, and the impact of immigration and trade policies have made farming less attractive than it once was. Fewer commercial operations result in a diminished food commodity output.
