Not prepping the food: The French culinary term for preparing to cook is “mise en place.” This is especially important when grilling, as cooks must deal with faster cooking times than they would otherwise encounter when cooking meals in the stove.
addition to fresh produce, farmers’ markets may offer baked and other prepared goods. Shopkeepers often mingle with their customers, offering trade secrets and recipe ideas. Additionally, local farm families supported by farmers’ markets generally offer supreme customer service to keep shoppers coming back week after week.

Avoiding Falls
The numbers are shocking: Per the CDC,one in four seniors age 65 or older experience falls each year. That’s 25% of seniors. Of those, 37% suffer an injurythateitherkeepsthemfromtheirnormalactivitiesforatleastadayor that requires medical care.
Per the map accompanying that CDC article on falls, several states exceed that 25% average -- by a lot.
When it comes to deaths, falls are the number one cause of injury-related deaths among seniors,and the numbers are grim.
The reason for all the falls varies. We might have a physical condition that affects coordination. We might be taking a drug that causes dizziness. We might be wearing shoes that aren’t good for sturdy walking.
Weneedtodoeverythingwecantoavoidbeingavictimof fallinjury.While there are several factors we can’t do anything about, there are other things that are under our control.

Keep clear paths around the house and don’t let magazines or newspapers stack up on the floor next to your recliner.Don’t let phone or electrical cords drape across walking areas.
Get rid of small area rugs.
Have someone install grab bars in the shower,and use an anti-slip mat.
Ask the senior center about creating a class on exercises to increase balance and strength, or even a falls prevention seminar. Or check YouTube online for videos.
Get your eyes checked every year and your prescription upgraded if necessary.

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

FUN WAYS TO KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED OVER SUMMER BREAK
Day camps provide much of the structure of school without all the homework or time spent indoors. Many parks and recreation departments run summer day camps for kids. Camps can be generalized or specialized. For example, some may offer an array of activities, including sports and nature walks, in a given day, while others may focus on a single activity, like musical lessons or science-based programs. Camps run by local parks and rec departments do not typically last all summer long, which parents should keep in mind when enrolling youngsters.

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

DON’T LET SUNBURN DERAIL SUMMER FUN
Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health. That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside.
Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than one-third of adults and nearly 70 percent of children admit to suffering from sunburn within the past year. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.
Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. According to WebMD, ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers. It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, it is best for people of all ages to exercise caution when spending time in the sun. Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn is simple.
Protect yourself against COMMON SCAMS
Imagine getting a call from someone claiming a close family member is in trouble and needs money right now. Perhaps the voice sounds like the person themself asking for help.
Or the person identifies as an IRS agent and informs you that you are criminally liable for unpaid tax debts.
Maybe it is someone who found you through an online dating or friendship website and wants to visit you in person but is having financial difficulties.
Or it’s the Social Security Administration with an identity the alert.
Maybe it’s an email or phone call offering you a can’t-miss investment opportunity.
Perhaps the caller or email congratulates you on winning a grand prize.
Perhaps a text message informs you of a package needing delivery confirmation.
Or you log into a website and a pop-up warns you that your identity has been found on the dark web and is being used for criminal purposes.
Perhaps a warning tells you your system has a virus and urges you to call a toll-free number or click a link for tech support.
Unfortunately, all these scenarios and more are becoming increasinglycommonplaceintoday’sdigitalworld.Scammersare experts at playing with your mind and preying on your emotional vulnerabilities. ey create a sense of urgency, whether over the phone, online, or through text and email. ey want you to act fast without thinking. ey use fear to scare you into believing something bad will happen if you don’t pay. ey act like they’re in charge to make you think you have to do what they say. And some promise easy money or try to make you think they are in love with you.
All are lies to manipulate you to send money, reveal personal information, or both. If you are pressured to take immediate action without thinking it over or talking with someone else, including an attorney, it is a scam.
One of the most common scams today involves the purchase of gi cards, although providing personal information such as social security numbers and dates of birth or wiring money are also prevalent. Real companies and government agencies will never ask you to pay with gi cards. Only scammers will tell you to buy a gi card and give them the numbers off the back of the card. No matter what they say, that’s a scam. If you are buying a gi card for any reason other than physically giving it to someone in real life, it is a scam.
Gi cards are like cash for scammers. It is almost impossible to track gi cards a er they have been redeemed. Once a scammer has the card’s info, they quickly turn it into money. It is also nearly impossible to get your money back, which makes gi cards the perfect tool for scammers to get away with stealing. Even if you’re careful, you might still get tricked.
If you think you’ve been scammed, act fast. e sooner you act, the better your chances of getting your money back.
If the scam involves gi cards, call the company that issued the gi card. Tell them what happened. ey might be able to freeze the card or refund your money. Look for the company’s contact number on the back of the card or online. If the scam involves wiring funds or providing personal information, contact your bank, wire service provider, or credit card issuer immediately to report the fraud and stop any further activity.
In every event, report the scam to your local police and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission at https:// reportfraud. c.gov. You may also want to contact the three major credit bureaus to place an alert on your file and freeze the opening of any new credit accounts at https://www. annualcreditreport.com/protectYourIdentity.action.
Save everything related to the scam, including e-mails, texts, receipts, and gi card numbers. Write down everything you remember about the scammer. e more evidence you have, the better, as it will help the police and the gi card company with their investigation.

Dog Barking!
To the neighbor who very immaturely shouted out of their window when my dog was barking, “Dog barking!”, maybe next time you have an issue with my dog you can come to my door and discuss it with me. Let me be clear, there are at LEAST 10 dogs within the surrounding homes, all of them bark, that’s what dogs do sometimes. I do not leave my dogs outside for hours on end, let alone 24 hours a day/365 days a year like some people, and if they are enjoying the outdoors it’s within the lawful timeframe and isn’t violating curfew. And if they do seem to be barking excessively for whatever reason, I responsibly bring them back indoors. I have a hunch on a few of you it could’ve been. Depending on which one, with the amount of screaming, yard tools and recreational vehicles, or even your own dogs barking, you have some nerve. I don’t play about my dogs. You picked the wrong neighbor to shout at.
Second Opinions
Is this the new “norm?” Your Doctor advises a second opinion. You try to get one but unless you’re registered as their patient, they won’t even talk to you. Then they wonder why our health system is under such scrutiny.
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it.

Porch swings and rocking chairs provide a great place to relax, and porch spaces are covered, meaning homeowners can continue to enjoy time outside even when it begins to rain.

Use an appropriate extension cord. String lights above outdoor living spaces like decks and patios can create a warm, relaxing nighttime vibe. Those lights need to be plugged in,which increases the risk for electrical accidents.When utilizing an extension cord outdoors, never use a cord designated for indoor use. Outdoor extension cords are better insulated than cords made for indoor use. That insulation provides better protection against the elements, including sunlight, changes in temperature and moisture. When using an extension cord outdoors, make sure the cord is secured and not left lying on a deck or patio where it can easily become a tripping hazard.
Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits on a sapphire throne. ~Barry Cornwall

BUDGET-FRIENDLY WAYS TO UPGRADE A LANDSCAPE Plant to create privacy. Homeowners spent more time at home than ever before during the pandemic, and some might have grown tired of seeing what their neighbors are up to. Fencing might be the first solution homeowners consider when looking to make their landscapes more private. But new fencing installation can be expensive, costing homeowners between $1,667 and $4,075 on average, according to BobVila.com. A more costly and natural solution is to plant trees around the perimeter. Speak with a local landscaping professional, who can survey the property to see which trees might thrive and provide the privacy homeowners want.

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS
Make sure you choose the right ladder. DIYers may spend ample time shopping for drills and other electronic tools and gadgets that are fun to use. But ample time also must be afforded to the type of ladder you intend to use on a project. Estimates from the West Bend Insurance Company indicate that roughly 90,000 people visit the emergency room due to ladder accidents each year. Never use a broken ladder or an aging ladder that’s uneven. In addition, do not use a ladder that forces you to reach far away. If you’re leaning while using a ladder, the ladder is either too short for your project or positioned too far away from the wall. The National Home Security Alliance advises DIYers to place their ladder one foot from the
it rises above the ground. Test your ladders for their sturdiness
to
so you aren’t tempted to use a
ladder.
Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited. Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE
Graduation parties should be all-inclusive. Graduation ceremonies are often followed by parties. If possible, try to coordinate with other friends who are graduating so that parties are not on the same day or at least not at the same time. This way everyone who would like to attend can do so. If friends do attend, The Emily Post Institute suggests that graduates explain to their friends that family will be at the party and that polite behavior is expected.
