Keep surfaces free of clutter. Surfaces such as dining tables, coffee tables and kitchen counters tend to accumulate clutter. While such clutter might not feel overwhelming in a large home, in small spaces crowded surfaces can make it feel as though the walls are closing in. Make an effort to keep surfaces free of clutter, resolving to discard or put items away each night before going to bed.
HOME IMPROVEMENT
PREVENT DIY INJURIES
When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the recommended rung or engaging in risky behavior while on the ladder, such as reaching or hanging over too far.
When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.

In today’s digital world, getting kids to pick up a book can be a challenge. While reading offers countless benefits, from boosting creativity to improving vocabulary, many children are spending less time reading for fun. Parents who want to encourage their kids to read more can try several effective strategies to foster a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
Start by setting limits on screen time to help shift their attention to other activities like reading. Becoming a reading role model by showing your own love for books is another powerful way to inspire kids. Make books more accessible by taking them to the library, buying books from their favorite genres, or introducing digital reading options like e-readers. Finally, don’t worry about the content—they don’t have to read classic novels! As long as it’s age-appropriate, let them enjoy whatever books capture their interest, whether comic books or magazines.

HOW TO SPOT MOLD IN YOUR HOME
Learn what mold looks like. Not all molds are black. Some are white and look like thread, but they also can have a gray-brown or gray-green tint. When peeling old wallpaper, some people may notice orange, pink or purple growth on the newly exposed walls, and that’s likely mold.
HOW TO AVOID THE COLD COMFORT OF A DRAFTY HOUSE
For those who live in older homes, the transition to colder weather can be extra disheartening, as the vision of expensive heating bills, chilly rooms and drafty windows dance in their heads. However, it’s easy to change the outlook fromcoldtocozywithafewsimple DIY solutions.
The most effective way to improve the comfort level in your home is to properly insulate. Insulation can beinadequateinolderhomes.Over time, it can settle and compact, creating gaps. Topping up attic insulation will help keep the warm air in, reducing heating bills and preventing stress on your furnace. For easy installation, homeowners andprofessionalsalikerecommend a stone wool batt insulation. For attics, aim for an r-value of R-50 or adepthof16inches.
A little preparation can go a long way to keep the cold at bay. Seal out drafts by replacing worn weatherstripping and caulking along windows, doors, baseboards, and trim. For other ways to beat the cold, consider inexpensive window insulation kits along with thicker drapes, and don’t forget to reverse ceiling fans to push warm air back down.
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. ~ Margaret Atwood, “Unearthing Suite,” 1983

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

Brighten someone’s day
My sweet adorable grandmother asked me to post a message on Facebook for her. She had dinner at the Redwood this evening with two of her girlfriends and a local anonymous gentleman paid for their meals. This act of kindness made her feel special and wonderful. When you brighten someone’s day - it passes that positivity on to others. Thank you!
Good Samaritan
I would like to extend a sincere Thank You with deep appreciation for a gentleman we know only as “Steve” from Kendall. On Saturday March 22, my husband & I purchased an area rug from the Lowes store in Brockport. We struggled to load it into our small Kia Soul SUV, unaware of its cumbersome fit in the vehicle. After several unsuccessful attempts, my husband went back into the store to seek assistance Several minutes later he was accompanied by a fellow shopper, who immediately offered to load the large rug into his van which had more room than our vehicle, however he had to keep the trunk ajar to hold it. He was kind & gracious enough to not only follow us home to our residence in Clarkson, about a 5 mile drive from the store, but also helped unload and carry into our house without accepting any monetary gesture my husband offered him. He even stayed and chatted with us, as our three rescue pooches welcomed him. He simply stated that he was paying it forward. Extraordinary kindness!
Brighter Vent
To all of you who work in public places: schools, apartment buildings, stores, DMV or other public areas. Please consider how much body spray perfume or cologne you wear as it really does affect a lot of people. COPD. ASTHMA. It’s seriously affects breathing and just gives others a headache. And then when you got two three or even more in the same area wearing it, it can be extreme. Thank you. I understand some of you just aren’t aware how badly it can affect others. Thank you for listening as this is such an important issue.
Fast Drivers
Several streets in the village are many blocks long but with no crosswalks. The 25 mph the state requires for school children walking to school has been disregarded for decades. The mayor refuses to do anything about the extreme speed every day, all day long, about 50-60 mph. Once a year a speed monitor is put out but no one ever slows down and no tickets are issued. Even school buses and cars speed. Pedestrians in general are in grave danger crossing streets at every light. The crossing light only lasts 18 sec and not everyone can cross that fast. A number of people have been hit and seriously injured. I was within 2 inches of me and my dogs getting killed. The cross light was on, all 3 of us were wearing reflective coats and flashing lights. I had to scream and flash my light in the drivers face to get his attention as he raced to make a left turn right into us. The mayor, nor the police department cared about my letter of complaint. He puts us at risk every day and has never cared.
Poptart is our one year old rescue. She loves cardboard boxes, catnip, and snuggles. Her favorite thing to do is play fetch with her dad, she brings the toy back every time!

Senior needs help ge ing cats prepared for flea season
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: The weather is getting warmer, and that means the flea invasion of my apartment will soon begin. I have two cats, and they suffer mightily through the summer -- as do I, with my legs covered in flea bites. I’m in my 70s and can’t give my cats flea baths. How can I get fleas under control? -- Jim G. in Acworth, Georgia
DEAR JIM: Yep! As the weather warms, especially in the southern states, the onslaught of fleas begins. Treating your pets for fleas before their eggs begin to hatch is especially important right now. If you have issues that keep you from beginning flea treatment -- whether giving a monthly bath using a pet-safe shampoo, placing a flea collar, or applying a monthly topical flea treatment -- please ask for help. There are resources in your community. Call your area senior center (for you, that’s Cobb County, Georgia: www.cobbcounty.org/senior-services) and explain your dilemma; they can connect you with resources. You can also call your cats’ veterinarian and explain the situation; they can talk with you about solutions -- such as getting a trusted friend or family member to help.
Preventing fleas also requires treating or eliminating places where they can hide. Fleas love carpet; they’ll lay eggs in it, beginning the infestation cycle anew. Vacuum carpets weekly. If you have hardwood or laminate floors, run a dust mop as frequently as possible. Take up area rugs and have them cleaned. You may qualify for homemaker services -- these invaluable people handle light household chores like vacuuming, trash and laundry.
You have to make your apartment a hostile environment for fleas -- one they’ll struggle to live in.To do that, you’ve got to enlist every organization that can help.

HOW TO KEEP DOGS SAFE AND CONTENT
Socialize the pet. Learning how to respond to other dogs and people is an important aspect of canine life. If the pet is to get along with other dogs, it needs to have high exposure to other animals every day and in various scenarios. Socialization can begin as soon as a puppy is immunized and able to venture out with others.

DID YOU KNOW?
According to the World Health Organization, tobacco kills up to half its users, annually killing roughly six million people each year. The WHO notes that more thanfivemillionofthosedeathsare the result of direct tobacco use, while more than 600,000 deaths can be attributed to non-smokers being exposed to secondhand smoke. While many in the United States may understand the threat that smoking poses to their overall health,theWHOnotesthatstudies indicate knowledge about the specifichealthrisksoftobaccouse is not widespread. A 2009 survey ofsmokersinChinafoundthatless than 40 percent of smokers knew that smoking tobacco causes coronary heart disease, while only 27 percent were aware of the link between smoking and stroke. It’s also important that smokers recognize that cigarettes once characterized as “light” or “low tar” are not healthier than more traditional cigarettes. While the US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of such terms incigarettesaleswithintheUnited States, smokers traveling or living overseas should be mindful that other countries may not operate under such restrictions. In addition, the American Cancer Society notes that there is no proof that cigarettes sold as “all natural” and marketed as having no chemicals or additives are any safer than traditional cigarettes and that the best way for men, women and children to avoid the dangers of tobacco is to never smoke or to quit immediately.

Hip and Leg Pain Persist Ever Since an Active Trip to France
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: In 2022, I took a trip to France to visit friends and sightsee. My hip/leg pain started after I spent my days walking around and climbing stairs in Paris. (I walked 16 miles one day!) I rested during the evening and took ibuprofen before going to bed. I did not stop my activities because this was a special trip.
Later during my vacation, I hiked trails in the Alps. There are stairs everywhere in France with very little adjustments for those who have mobility issues. It was very debilitating. When I came home, my doctor ordered an X-ray, then diagnosed me with hip bursitis on both sides.
I was in physical therapy for many weeks. Every now and then, if I pursue activities like hiking or long walks, I can feel some pain. I don’t like limiting my activities because I am relatively healthy.
Now I am 60 years old and returning to France. What can I do to prevent this pain from happening again without restricting my activities? Or what can I do to alleviate the pain if it occurs? I don’t want to become sedentary. -- J.M.C.
ANSWER: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is still mostly called “trochanteric bursitis,” despite the fact that the hip bursa really isn’t inflamed. But this condition does sound like your diagnosis. It is caused by the overuse of the muscles and tendons in the hip, particularly those of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles.
A.
Stair and hill-climbing are the activities that are most likely to cause a recurrence of your symptoms. However, you may be able to prevent symptoms from recurring. The muscles you want to strengthen are your hip abductors (those that move your leg away from the midline of your body).
By strengthening these muscles, the abnormal forces on your gluteal muscles and tendons can be avoided. Your physical therapist can show you how to do this, either with a springresisted sliding platform or an elastic resistance band. This should prevent the recurrence of GTPS.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

SPRING CLEANING PROJECTS YOU DON’T WANT TO FORGET
BATHROOMS: Bathrooms also tend to bear the brunt of winter weather, as mold and grime can accumulate throughout a season in which it’s too cold to open bathroom windows to let fresh air in after bathing. Inspect ceilings, tubs, shower stalls, and floors for any signs of mold growth or grime. Mold growth in a home can lead to respiratory problems and exacerbate existing conditions such as asthma, so it’s best to inspect bathrooms for any signs of mold growth throughout winter. If you have let that slip, prioritize such inspections come spring cleaning time.

DID YOU KNOW?
Though office work might not be the first profession individuals think of in relation to elevating one’s cancer risk, sitting at a desk for most of the day can increase a person’s risk for cancer. According to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, sitting for most of the day without engaging in physical activity puts individuals at increased risk for cancer. How much extra risk does that entail? Though no two individuals are the same, studies have equated sitting for eight hours a day without any physical activity to the risk posed by obesity and smoking. The DFCI notes that sitting over long periods of time has been known to cause increased blood pressure, high cholesterol and excess body fat around the waist, each of which have been identified as factors that increase a person’s risk for cancer.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.
When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Commodore Stephen Decatur wrote one of the first recorded descriptions of sailors’ uniforms in 1813, describing the men on the frigates of the U.S. and Macedonia as wearing “glazed canvas hats with stiff brims, decked with ribbons, blue jackets buttoned loosely over waistcoats, and blue trousers with bell bottoms.” In the early 19th century before the U.S. Navy uniform was standardized, some sailors chose a style of wide trousers that had bell-shaped cuffs. Bell bottoms become a fashion trend among men and women in Europe 1960s.
APRIL 5, 2025
Bell Bottoms Day
When wide-legged trousers were introduced in the 1920s by Coco Chanel, women of this era started to break free of corsets and dresses.
European carpenters have worn bell bottoms for centuries to prevent sawdust from falling on their feet or shoes.

YORK HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE
S hia Hatf ld
EMBARKS ON A MAGICAL MUSICAL THEATER Journey to Disney
BY SUZIE WELLS
York High School sophomore Sophia Hatfield is preparingfortheopportunityofalifetime:performing at Walt Disney World. is June, she will take the stage at Disney Springs as part of the Disney Imagination Masterclass, a program that will allow her to learn from industry professionals, participate in intensive rehearsals, and gain insights into the world of musical theater at one of the most prestigious entertainment
For Sophia, performing has always been more than a hobby—it’s a passion fueled by her family, mentors, and personal drive. “I fell in love with the warm feeling of the lights on the stage, the applause a er a scene, and the family you gain during a show,” Sophia reflects. at passion led her from the stage of York Central School District to performances with esteemed theater groups such as OFC Creations eatre and Spotlight eatre Company.
Her journey into musical theater began when she High School Musical, and she has since taken on major roles, including the Lion Fred in Once Upon a Mattress, , and Eurydice in Hadestown
Sophia’s upcoming experience at Disney World is particularly exciting because it will allow her to grow both as a performer and as a student of the cra . As part of the Disney Broadway Magic Class, she will train with Disney cast members, refine audition techniques, learn to adapt to unexpected challenges on stage, and rehearse a scene from one of Disney’s world-famous productions.
e audition process for this opportunity was both rigorous and exhilarating, Sophia says. e February audition included a 32-bar cut from the song “Reflection” from Mulan and a dance combo they all performed for the audition table and their peers. Selected from a competitive pool of talented teens, Sophia is eager to bond with fellow performers in this unique experience.
Beyond her musical theater accomplishments, Sophia is a dedicated high honor roll student who thrives in music and literature. Since third grade, she has been an active participant in Odyssey of the Mind, a creative problem-solving competition that has helped her develop teamwork and adaptability skills. She has found joy in sports like tennis, a recent addition to her repertoire a er years of playing so ball. “You’ll never not see the tennis team smiling,” she says. Sophia credits much of her success to the support and inspiration of those around her, thanking her brother, Brodie Hatfield, for pushing her to be the best version of herself, no matter what she pursues. She also thanks her friend, Devin Cuningham, for inspiring her to do theatre.
She thanks her teachers and mentors, including her high school director and co-director, Mrs. Dougal and Mrs. Shumaker, her pit director and band teacher, Mr. Vogel, her vocal instructor, Dr. Niccassio, “the best costume coordinator and Odyssey coach,” Ms. Kahnis, and many more educators guiding her along the way.
Sophia says, “ e single best thing about being in the musical theatre industry is the connection you get with people,” raving about the amazing people she’s worked with even in workshops or short production shows, adding, “I have been given the opportunity to have amazing people by my side, so I don’t have to worry about walking the hard road of life by myself.”
Looking ahead, Sophia envisions a future deeply rooted in the arts.
“My goals are to be the best version of myself,” she says, with plans to pursue a college degree in musical theater with a possible minor in journalism or education. She sees potential in being a full-time performer on Broadway or other stages and also sees potential in “teaching the passion of music to high school students.”
“I fell in love with the warm feeling of the lights on the stage, the applause after a scene, and the family you gain during a show.”
SOPHIA HATFIELD
Sophia’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and community support. She recognizes the challenges of the industry but embraces them with optimism. “One of the hardest parts of pursuing dreams in musical theater is getting used to the answer being no. ough everyone wishes they can always get what they want, being told no is just as much of a learning experience,” she says, explaining that rejection “causes you to come back with even more to offer, more motivation, and things to work or focus on for the next audition.”
As she prepares for her upcoming Disney experience, Sophia remains groundedinherbeliefincherishingeveryopportunityandconnection.
“When you get the chance to hug your friends, do it. Take criticism you get with a positive mindset. Make memories while you can, and take every day as a gi doing what you love.” And she recommends keeping notes or a journal to remember special moments along your journey, wherever it leads.
With her unwavering dedication and enthusiasm, Sophia Hatfield is undoubtedly on her way to creating magic both on and off the stage.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
The first thought we have about those over 55 communities is sure, others will be like us, our every need and want will be taken care of.
But is that always true?
There is, of course, a long list of good things about living in a seniors community. In most cases there will be activities with lots of social opportunities. Depending on the community, there might be a pool, a golf course and tennis courts, a fitness center with classes, scheduled activities, excursions and trips.
For the most part, homes in these communities are smaller since many of us will be downsizing anyway and outdoor maintenance and yardwork will be done by others.
Sounds great, right?
There is another side, though, to the 55+ communities, and some of the negatives are fairly significant.
Variety in social opportunities may be very limited. After all, everyone there will be our age with few opportunities to interact with younger people. If your family situation changes and you need to move your child and grandchildren in with you, it likely won’t be possible in a 55+ community, and even visits will probably have a time limit. And there’s the issue of inheritance: If you want to leave your home to a child in your will, they couldn’t live there.
If you ever decide to sell, your target buyer pool will be limited to other 55+ seniors. Even renting, if that’s allowed in the community, will be limited to senior occupants.
Then there are the high fees to cover all the amenities, HOA and taxes -expenses that can go up at any time. Even in the beginning, your monthly costs could be in the thousands of dollars.
Before buying into a 55+ community, get advice -- a lot of it. Ask questions, get feedback, visit a potential community more than once and talk to people who live there, if possible.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK
2025 INCREASED RATES!
Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the average worker spent 26 minutes traveling to work, the most recent year for which the USCB has data. That marksanearly20percentincrease in average commute time since 1980. Things aren’t much better in Canada, where the National Household Survey found that the average commuter spends just over 25 minutes traveling to work each day. People who commute via public transportation can use the time they spend going to and from the office to answer emails, review schedules or even work on projects. Commuters who drive themselves to work can consider switching to public transportation or, if possible, move closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in their vehicles, where they have no choice but to be unproductive.

HOBBIES FOR DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES
Men and women who have experienced great success in the world of business can pursue a host of low-stress opportunities with a goal of sharing their experiences with the next generation of business leaders. Teaching a course at a local college or university is one such avenue, and executives can even offer to work with high school students interested in pursuing careers in business. Teaching and mentoring might be less traditional hobbies than crocheting or woodworking, but they still provide a way for adults to pursue their passions away from the constraints of the office.
