SPRING CLEANING PROJECTS 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.

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
Start planning your
Family Friendly Vacation
Old-fashioned family vacations are a treasured rt 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.

Promote Healthy Kidneys
Healthy kidneys are something many people take for granted. But those who want to do everything they can to keep their kidneys healthy can consider the following tips.
• Stay hydrated, but avoid overhydration. Adequate hydration definitely promotes healthy kidneys. But overhydrating has not been proven to enhance kidney function. Adults should drink between four and six glasses of water per day.
• Exercise. Regular exercise benefits various parts of the human body, including the kidneys. High blood pressure and diabetes are two of the biggest risk factors for kidney disease, and regular exercise can reduce a person’s risk of both conditions. However, overexertion can strain the kidneys, so avoid going too hard.
• Speak with a physician before taking vitamin supplements or herbal remedies. Excessive supplementation can harm the kidneys. Discuss any supplements or herbals remedies with a physician before taking them.
• Quit smoking. Smoking decreases the blood flow in the kidneys, decreasing their ability to function at optimal capacity. Smoking also increases a person’s risk of high blood pressure and cancer of the kidneys.
• Eat healthy. A healthy diet decreases a person’s risk for high blood pressure and diabetes. Adhering to a healthy diet and controlling portion sizes can help control weight and blood pressure and contribute to healthy kidneys as well.
• Get screened. Adults who have been diagnosed with high blood pressure or diabetes should make sure their physicians screen for kidney dysfunction during routine appointments.

Being Insistent About a Scan Saves the Life Of a Cancer Patient
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.
Q. A.
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.

Is this puppy ready for a long hike?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a beautiful pup at about 3 months old this winter. Now that the weather is warming up and “Blondie” is about 6 months old, I can’t wait to start going on hikes with her. How far can a puppy that age walk? Do you have any safety tips? – Carl J., via email
DEAR CARL: Blondie sounds like an amazing pup! With the correct training, she will eventually be able to accompany you on some hikes – but not this season.
Puppies at 6 months of age should only take limited walks, ranging from five to 10 minutes max, on level ground. Don’t take them farther – pushing them too soon can cause a host of physical problems because their growth plates haven’t fused.
Most experts recommend lengthening walks gradually starting from about 9 months. For longer distances over uneven ground, and when training dogs to carry their own panniers, wait until they are 12 to 18 months old.
So, you won’t be able to take Blondie with you on day hikes this year – unless you carry her. There are special “sport sacks” just for carrying small- to medium-size dogs. Think of it as a fitness challenge for you, and a way for your pup to learn to love the outdoors.
In the meantime,you can work on Blondie’s obedience training.It’s critical that she respond immediately when you call her, especially out on hikes. She should also be well socialized to people and other dogs – this prevents a lot of grief on the trail. Right now is the perfect time to do that, and to bond with your dog so that you have fun whether you’re outdoors or not.

Put a healthy spin on an old family favorite
Meatloaf is a dinnertime staple for many families. A favorite of adults and children alike, meatloaf can be prepared however cooks see fit, making it a versatile dish for family dinners. Parents who want to enjoy meatloaf with their families and do so while promoting healthy diets can try the following recipe for “Turkey, Vegetable & Oat MiniMeatloaves with Marinara Sauce” from Michelle Dudash’s “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds).
Turkey, Vegetable & Oat
Mini-Meatloaves with Marinara Sauce
Serves 6
Expeller-pressed canola oil spray
1 8-ounce package crimini (baby bella) mushrooms (about 21/2 cups)
1 small yellow onion, cut into eighths
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil
1 cup dry rolled oats
2 large eggs
1 pound lean ground turkey (or beef or bison) 13/4 cups pasta sauce, divided
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan or 6 mini loaf pans with spray. Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped and add them to a large bowl. Repeat with onion and garlic.
Place a large frying pan over medium heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering, add vegetables and sauté for 7 minutes or until water releases and evaporates completely, lowering the heat as necessary. Set aside.
Process the oats until they are of a fine consistency. Whisk the eggs in the bowl used for the vegetables. Add processed oats, turkey, 3/4 cup of pasta sauce, cooked vegetables, vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir together with a fork until blended.
Scoop the mixture into 6 mounds on the pan or into each mini-loaf pan, about 3/4 cup each. Shape each mound into a 4 x 2-inch loaf. Spread remaining 1 cup of pasta sauce on top of the loaves, distributing evenly. Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes, turning pan midway through cooking, until loaves are firm or a thermometer inserted in the middle reads at least 165 F. Allow loaves to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes: You can finely chop vegetables with a knife rather than using a food processor if you prefer. Whole oats can be added to the meat mixture for a more rustic texture.

STORING TOOLS PROPERLY REDUCES INJURY RISK AND PROMOTES ORGANIZATION
Whether homeowners have a handful of tools or an entire collection of equipment, proper storage of these items means the difference between staying organized and safe or having to waste time looking for tools and running the risk of injury.
Tools often gravitate to other rooms of the house or become misplaced. When they’re brought out for use, tools may not be returned to the toolbox or shed, taking up residence in drawers or closets or just being left out in the open.
Improper storage of tools also may create safety risks for the persons doing the renovation and other members of the household. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that hundreds of thousands of injuries treated at emergency rooms are related to power
and workshop equipment. While the majority of these injuries occur

Spring Lawn Revitalization Spring Lawn Revitalization home services
Revitalizing a lawn in spring is a multifaceted process but can be well worth the reward when green grass adds to a beautiful landscape and functional yard. Here is how to get started when the weather warms, courtesy of The Farmer’s Almanac and The Home Depot.
Can’t do it all? Hiring a great, local company can get your lawn looking the best it can!
• Clean up debris. Spend a few hours raking up leaves from the lawn and removing any other winter debris like twigs so that air can reach the grass below. Also remove any thatch that has developed.
• Test the soil. Take a sample of the soil to determine its pH level and nutrient needs. Then you can make adjustments to set a strong foundation for the lawn to grow.
• Do some weeding. Pull out any weeds that have poked through early on and apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent additional weeds from taking over.
• Start the aeration process. A core aerator punches holes into the soil. This enables air and water to penetrate through to the roots.
• Overseed the lawn. Apply grass seeds over the lawn, paying special attention to any bare or thin areas so that the seed will fill in the lawn.
• Water consistently. It is important to water the lawn deeply and consistently, especially when the weather is dry, to help promote strong root development.
• Time fertilizer correctly. Apply a spring fertilizer around three weeks after the lawn starts to turn green or after the first two or three mowings. If fertilizer is applied too early it can feed weeds instead of the grass and result in fertilizer runoff.
• Mow to an appropriate height. Begin to mow when the ground is dry enough and the grass is long enough to need cutting. Leave some length to the lawn; otherwise, sunlight will reach the soil and encourage weed seeds to germinate.

Planning an Outdoor Oasis (Family Features) - If it’s time to think about making some improvements or additions to your home, outside may be the best place to get started.
Define the Space.An outdoor room could be the entire yard, or just a small part of it. Think about it having walls, a ceiling and flooring, just like an indoor room.
• Walls are vertical elements that help define a space, such as hedges, trees, lattice screens, raised garden beds, railings, a gazebo or fence to frame your space.
• Ceilings provide shelter and shade. Think of awnings, umbrellas and pergolas. Or use what’s naturally there, like the branches of a shade tree.
• Flooring could be the existing lawn, a mulched pathway or a created floor such as a concrete or flagstone patio, or deck. Decide the Elements. Once you know where your oasis is, it’s time to figure out what needs to go in it.
• Decking - A low-maintenance composite deck adds versatility and beauty that you can customize to meet just about any need. When planning a deck, don’t make the mistake of building one that’s too small. Mark the area you want to use, then put your outdoor furniture in it to see if you have the space you need. Use an online planning tool to explore designs, materials, colors and accessories.
Be sure to check on local building codes and permits needed before starting any construction. Fire and Food. Use your outdoor room any time of day by planning a place to cook and eat.
• An outdoor kitchen can be as simple as a portable grill or as elaborate as your budget will allow. A DIY pizza oven can also be a fun way to enjoy cooking outside.
• Fireplaces, fire pits and chimineas bring coziness along with great function - and they help extend the outdoor enjoyment in cooler weather.
Accessories. Just like indoor room, outdoor rooms benefit from appropriate accessories. Make sure you plan for them in your budget as well as in your designs.
• Lighting - Landscape lighting, lanterns, candles or strings of white outdoor lights can all add beautiful ambience.
• Sound - Add pleasing audio with outdoor stereo sound systems, trickling water features or even just simple wind chimes.
• Color - Garden art, tablescapes, container plantings and fabric can put colorful finishing touches on your outdoor room.
Fence Etiquette Prevents Disputes:
There are certain things you must do and should do if you plan to erect a fence. Most people find neighbors appreciate being informed of any decisions you are thinking of making to the property that can affect their views or their adjoining property. Before drawing up fence plans with a contractor, talk to the neighbors on either side of your home and gauge their receptiveness to a fence. At this point, you may want to consider offering to make the fencing project a joint deal to save money should the neighbors decide to install a fence as well. Contractors will often discount if they have several customers doing an installation at the same time. Property owners can save by splitting the costs of the shared walls of the fence where their property lines meet.
Get Your Garden Growing: Four Tips for Starting a Garden (Family Features)
1. Know the Lay of the Land - Assess the gardening conditions in your yard before you dig your first hole or plant your first seed. Conditions such as sun, shade, soil type, climate and moisture levels are all key factors to consider when creating your gardening plan.
2. Prepare Your Soil - Healthy soil translates to better plant growth, so be sure your soil has the nutrients it needs to flourish. Talk to a representative at your local home and garden center for tips on choosing the right type of fertilizer based on the soil and the plants you’re growing.
3. Choose and Care for Plants Expertly - Once you’ve prepared your gardening space, you can begin to explore plant options available. To prevent the discouraging cycle of trial and error gardening with new plants, try Black & Decker’s new PlantSmart digital plant care sensor, a revolutionary gardening tool that provides expert advice for growing and maintaining all types of plants and flowers, both indoors and out. Its reusable, waterresistant sensor uses patented technology to measure key environmental information from sunlight and temperature to moisture, soil conditions and more. Your readings are then uploaded to your personal PlantSmart online account and combined with real-time climate and horticultural information from your local area, for a foolproof gardening experience. This tool will help ensure you are choosing and growing the right plants in your new garden.
4. Take the First Dig - When you’re ready, dig a hole that is slightly bigger and deeper than your plant’s roots, and gently place the plant in the prepared hole. Pat the surrounding soil down firmly, but don’t pack it, and be sure to leave enough space between plants. If using seeds, refer to the package’s directions to gauge the soil depth needed for proper growth; drop the seeds in and place soil firmly on top.
Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ first choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coverings make it more difficult to tend to gardens and rob gardens of some of their aesthetic appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades.

Honoring Old Glory
How to Handle Our Flag With the Care and Respect It Deserves
Proper Folding Technique
Follow this folding technique once the United States flag is lowered from its mast or mount:
1 Begin by holding the flag at waist height between two people parallel to the ground.
2 Fold the lower striped section of the flag lengthwise, up and over the blue field of stars.
3 Fold again, bringing the folded edge up to meet the open top edge. e blue field of stars should now be visible facing outward.
4 Bring the striped corner of the bottom folded edge up and over to meet the top edge in a triangular fold.
5 Turn the outer point of the triangle inward to align with the open top edge.
Display Guidelines
• e flag should be displayed in public only from sunrise to sunset, unless it is illuminated during darkness.
• e flag should not be displayed during rain, snow and wind storms, unless it is an all-weather flag not prone to damage.
• On Memorial Day, the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon. e flag may also be flown at half-staff to honor a newly deceased federal or state government official by order of the president or governor.
6 Continue this triangular folding pattern along the entire length of the flag.
• When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the blue field should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right (the observer’s le ). e same guidelines apply to a window display: the blue field should appear on the le to observers viewing it from the street.
• e flag should never be displayed upside down, unless to convey distress or great danger.
• Dirty, ripped, wrinkled or frayed flags should not be used. An American flag that is worn or damaged beyond repair should be retired in a respectful manner.
7 If a tail remains, fold it neatly into the remaining open fold.
Disposal Etiquette
Flag Retirement Ceremonies
8 Folding is complete when the flag is in a triangular shape with only the blue field visible.
e U.S. Flag Code states that “ e flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” e American flag is an important and sacred symbol, and flag ceremonies are carried out to dispose of retired flags in a respectful manner. Burning a flag in an undignified manner constitutes desecration.
• Many state and county government offices and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts have flag disposal boxes outside of their buildings. Police stations also o en collect flags for disposal. American Legions, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and other organizations may collect flags as well. Ceremonies are most o en conducted on June 14, Flag Day.
• If a flag ceremony drop-off location is not available, anyone can hold a flag retirement ceremony, provided it is conducted in a respectful and dignified manner. Flags may be ceremoniously folded and burned in compliance with local and state fire codes and ordinances, or folded and buried in a wooden box. Flags made of synthetic materials that could be potentially hazardous if burned may be recycled through flag companies or various organizations. For more information, visit nationalflagfoundation.org/etiquette.

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.

King CROSSWORD
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
The list of food recalls is growing
It seems that there’s one recall after the other lately, mostly for our foods. To stay safe with what we eat, we need to keep an eye on those recalls.
Some of them have been scarily bizarre. The latest ones include pieces of plastic in sausages, wood in frozen meals, stones in chocolate bars, botulism in juice and tree nuts in cheesecake.
Then there are the undeclared allergens, like the milk that was in tortilla chips and chicken salad, which can affect people who have a dairy allergy.
And we have the hot sauce with undeclared sulfites, which can seriously affect people who have an allergy to sulfites.
Then, in a potentially very dangerous mistake for those with heart and blood pressure problems, ground coffee was labeled as decaffeinated when it actually had caffeine.
And when you thought you’d recover from an illness with some over-thecounter help, we had a cough and cold medication recalled for being contaminated.
Humans aren’t the only ones to be affected by the wrong ingredients in our foods. A recent recall was for a dog snack that was contaminated with salmonella.
Nobody likes extra email to wade through, but in the case of recalls, we really do need to pay attention.
Signing up for email notifications is the best thing we can do right now, especially with the increase in the number of recalls. Go to www.recalls.gov/ food.html, www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls and www.foodsafety.gov to sign up for email alerts. Or if you really don’t want extra emails in your inbox, make a point of going to those sites once a week and scrolling through the list of new recalls.
Even if you think you probably don’t have a recalled item, if you’ve ever bought it in the past, check your freezer and cabinets. That item might still be there.

RUBY BLACK:
Stepping Up for Soles4Souls
Penfield’s own Ruby Black is making a significant impact – one pair of shoes at a time. A passionate advocate for Soles4Souls, she dedicates her time to collecting and distributing footwear to those in need, ensuring that something as simple as a pair of shoes can lead to new opportunities.
Originally from Galveston, Texas, Ruby grew up in Maine before moving around a er attending the University of Southern Maine. She and her husband, Steve, along with their two beloved fur babies, PePe and Mateo, settled in Penfield six years ago. Her professional life is a balancing act between her full-time role as Executive Assistant and Director of Community & Employee Engagement at Volvo Cars Rochester and her part-time position at Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW), where she focuses on their philanthropic initiatives.
Finding Purpose in Soles4Souls
Soles4Souls, a Tennessee-based nonprofit, turns unwanted shoes and clothing into opportunities for people in need. e organization focuses on four key initiatives, 4Relief, providing footwear and clothing to people in crisis situations, 4Opportunity, helping entrepreneurs in developing countries create sustainable businesses through shoe sales, 4EveryKid, delivering new shoes to children experiencing homelessness, 4 ePlanet, keeping shoes and clothing out of landfills to benefit both people and the environment.
Ruby’s involvement with Soles4Souls began in 2018 when DSW partnered with the organization. During the pandemic, as resources dwindled and the need grew, she deepened her commitment. She traveled to New York City and New Jersey to assist with shoe distributions and even ventured to the Navajo Nation and villages in Honduras to personally witness the profound impact of donated shoes.
“What attracted me most to Soles4Souls was that I could give something I already had – shoes! And I knew I was making a difference,” she says. “Some people can give money, which is great, but others can’t. Most of us have shoes we no longer wear, and instead of throwing them away, they can go to someone in need.”
Expanding the Mission
Her first shoe drive set a goal of 500 pairs – a number she wasn’t sure she could reach. But through persistence and growing community support, Ruby has been collecting shoes for five years now. She has established donation boxes at various local businesses, including Volvo Cars Rochester, Garber Honda, Chevy, and Randall, Pinnacle Hill Chiropractic, StretchLab Victor, LA Fitness East Ave, Medved Running & Walking, and others.
In 2024, Ruby’s efforts hit a huge milestone of 10,000 pairs collected between April and November, and this year, she aims to match or exceed that milestone, spending her free time collecting, sorting, and bagging shoes to support Soles4Souls’ initiatives.
As an ambassador for Soles4Souls, Ruby’s role extends beyond collection – she’s a voice for the organization, raising awareness and engaging others in the mission. Whether through social media, fundraising efforts, or personal outreach, she strives to connect with those willing to help.
A Philosophy of Giving
“Money is great, and we all know it is needed, but cleaning out your closet and giving away things (shoes!) you no longer need can have a HUGE impact!”
tries to pay it forward any time and any way she can.
Ruby Black’s dedication to Soles4Souls is a testament to the power of community-driven philanthropy. By simply donating a pair of shoes, anyone can be part of the change – one step at a time.
For Ruby, philanthropy isn’t just about financial donations. Instead, it’s about doing what you can when you can. “Money is great, and we all know it is needed, but cleaning out your closet and giving away things (shoes!) you no longer need can have a HUGE impact!”
According to the S4S website, the US throws away 13 million tons of clothing and footwear each year, which has a detrimental impact on the environment that disproportionately affects people who are economically vulnerable. By extending the life of shoes and clothing that might have otherwise been prematurely discarded, we care for both people and our planet.
Ruby says her heart is bigger than her wallet, but she knows “simple gestures like holding open a door or [offering] a smile can also have a HUGE impact. Happiness is the most important thing to me today,” suggesting we all “find things that make you happy and in turn you will make other people happy.” She believes happiness

How the Community Can Help
Ruby encourages everyone to participate in ways that fit their ability:
• Donate shoes – any style, size, or condition. New and gently used shoes are especially helpful for the 4Opportunity program, which is Ruby’s focus
• Host a shoe collection box at your workplace or special event
• Spread the word about Soles4Souls and its mission
• Participate in Ruby’s annual fundraising run, where every $20 raised provides a new pair of sneakers to children experiencing homelessness in the U.S.

Our community is so fortunate to have [a local] pharmacy. The pharmacy and store staff are always so helpful and friendly and never make you feel like a bother if you have questions. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Car Accident Witness
[A couple months ago] my vehicle was struck on the passenger side by a vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road while I was stopped at a signal light. Because my focus was on the red light I did not see the vehicle coming toward me going thru the red light and was blindsided at the impact, with the car then continuing on to collide head on with a 3rd vehicle. She was kind enough to follow this vehicle for quite a distance knowing it would cause an accident and to speak with me and the police as a witness. I am extremely grateful for the time she spent to set the record straight in which some explanations as to who is at fault or what actually happened can be twisted around by some insurance companies.
Grave Concerns
On a recent visit to my parent’s grave to place an Easter wreath, I was saddened to see so many dead X-mas wreaths and plants still on graves in April. We’re blessed to be able to leave flowers, flags and objects as some cemeteries don’t allow it at all. People need to be more considerate and respectful of the deceased and their families and remove the dead plants in a timely manner or replace any faded artificial flowers and flags. The presence of litter detracts from the peaceful and solemn atmosphere of the cemetery.
To those of you who are standing right at the doors of an elevator waiting to get on, please allow people to get off the elevator before you try to get on. It does no good for you to hurry and get on the elevator before people get off. Please use elevator etiquette.
