PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE LLS OF WNY

The rich history of agriculture in the U.S. attracted colonists to the area. Since most colonists were European, the styles of agricultural cultivation and production were Europe inﬂuenced as well. Colonists also brought a large amount of livestock with them to America, which caused changes in its natural landscape. As the population grew, farms expanded, and settlements moved from the east into the west. This caused the agricultural industry to grow exponentially, with a larger variety of produce being rooted.

There are 22 million people employed in the agriculture sector.

Avoid idling. Idling was once advised to warm up vehicles so they did not stall once they leave the driveway and hit the open road. However, that stalling occurred when cold carburetors could not get the appropriate mix of air and fuel in the engine. But carburetors have long since been replaced by electronic fuel injection systems, negating the need to warm up a vehicle to avoid stalling. The Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy note that modern engines will warm up by being driven and urge drivers to avoid warming up their cars for more than 30 seconds.

TO AUTOMOTIVE TECH

Learn the tech yourself: Assistance technologies are not all one and the same. Vehicle manufacturers have their own systems and there can be a learning curve when adapting to a new one. If you aspire to teach a senior how to utilize the assistance technologies in his or her vehicle, ﬁrst learn the tech on your own. If both you and your aging friend or family member own a Subaru, chances are you already know how to use the tech in your loved one’s vehicle. If you drive cars made by different manufacturers, visit the dealership where your loved one bought his or her car and ask for a quick tutorial on all the safety features in the vehicle. Salesman demonstrate these features every day, so it shouldn’t take long for them to show you the ropes.

Keep cargo off the roof. Rooftop cargo boxes can be convenient when traveling on vacations. However, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory report that such boxes can reduce fuel economy by a signiﬁcant percentage depending on where drivers are driving.City drivers with rooftop cargo boxes may experience a 2 to 8 percent decline in fuel economy,while vacationers traveling at interstate speeds may notice a decline as high as 25 percent.Cargo boxes are convenient,but they’re not very aerodynamic,so it’s best to remove them after returning home from vacation.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE

(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:

Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.

Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

National Award Winning Paper

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to ﬁnd delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and reﬁll prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

Scams against Seniors are getting worse

Data breaches and ﬁnancial scams against seniors are at all-time highs. What was bad before is apparently even worse now. Why do scammers target seniors? Here are the top reasons:

- They perceive that we have a lot of money. After all, we worked all those years ... we saved a lot of cash, they assume. And now we have huge pension and Social Security income that surely puts us in a high income bracket, they assume.

- Many of us grew up in an era when we were polite to people on the phone. Scammers take advantage of that and coax us into divulging private information.

- Many of us aren’t especially skilled with technology. We press buttons on our phone that we shouldn’t, or click links in strange email, not realizing that we’ve just enabled the download of a virus or made a connection to the scammers.

Here are a few suggestions for staying safe in the war with the scammers: Order your credit report from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian and go over them line by line. Be sure there isn’t anything you don’t recognize, that no extra loans show up and no additional names are listed. To do this, go online to annualcreditreport.com and order your free credit reports. If you spot something wrong, report it at IdentityTheft.gov or call the National Elder Fraud Hotline at 833-372-8311.

Lock down your credit at all three credit bureaus. This will keep anyone from opening credit in your name.

To learn safety on your electronic devices, ask your senior center, library or even your bank for a class on how to avoid falling for an online scam. And perhaps most valuable of all: Don’t feel the need to be polite if a stranger calls you on the phone and starts asking questions. Just hang up. Better yet, don’t answer if you don’t recognize the number.

Anesthesia Required for Colonoscopy Has a Very Low Risk of Delirium

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband, who is 71, has been having some short-term memory problems over the past two years. We recently saw his primary care doctor, who asked him some questions and had him do a few tasks. He did fail a few of them. She agreed that there was something going on, and now we have to wait to see a neurologist.

He has an appointment for a colonoscopy next month, and I’m concerned about how the anesthesia will affect his already compromised short-term memory. I saw the same thing happen with my father; he was having the same issues and broke his leg, which required surgery. He was never the same afterward. He couldn’t live on his own anymore and required memory care right away. I have been told by medical staff at the hospital that this sometimes happens after a surgery because of anesthesia.

What are your thoughts about my husband’s upcoming colonoscopy? Should I be worried about what this will do to his memory issues? -- S.L.

ANSWER: There are many kinds of memory issues that can affect older adults, and while Alzheimer’s disease is the most common, this does not mean that your husband has it. Getting an evaluation by a neurologist is an excellent idea.

Anesthesia does not cause dementia. However, some people, like your father, do develop a complication called postoperative delirium. Delirium is different from dementia because it comes on quickly. The cause is almost always identiﬁable, whether it’s due to medical illness,surgery,infection,low oxygen,metabolic abnormalities (such as sodium levels), etc. Delirium can last for a very long time and often unmask dementia that had been previously well-controlled.

The risk of delirium after the usual medication for a colonoscopy is small. The inhalation agents given in general anesthesia are much more likely to cause delirium. While a colonoscopy can be performed without sedation, in my opinion, the risk of delirium after a colonoscopy with the usual sedation is so low that it is not necessary to forgo it.

Good teenagers

My seventeen year old neighbor, Jack, was coming home from track practice only to see several cars driving over an American flag that had blown in the road from high winds. He was so appalled that cars were driving over it that he stopped his truck, stopped traffic, retrieved the flag, folded it, and returned it to the company it came from. There are still a lot of good teenagers around here. We are very proud of him.

get it, we see you.

In our small town we have one chain coffee shop within one of our gas stations. They have eight (!!) of the large ﬂags lining the street and corner with their logo. And even more so, they’re surrounding the small, local diner in the same parking lot. It’s obnoxious.

Burning garbage is illegal

For over four years now we have had to endure the toxic smoke that comes from our neighbors burn barrel. They burn now almost every day. Lots of us that live rurally have burn barrels that we burn sticks or paper in, but this family of pyromaniacs burns plastic and Styrofoam all the time in a barrel in the ditch on the edge of the road. Their garbage burns a black and grey smoke that makes it impossible to enjoy the outdoors. Most of the time they light it and then leave so they don’t have to breath it like we do. Let’s be clear about something. Burning garbage in NY state is illegal. Google it. Too bad no one enforces the law though. It stinks to have to endure such horrible neighbors who know the smoke bothers us, but don’t care. And get this, they actually pay for garbage pickup weekly.

PREPARE COOLING SYSTEMS FOR WARM WEATHER CLEAN FILTERS. Whether a home is kept cool by a whole-house central air conditioning system or window units, clean filters are necessary to keep the units working efficiently. Routinely replacing or cleaning filters is one of the most important maintenance tasks to improve airflow and increase efficiency. The U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy says replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower an air conditioner’s energy consumption by anywhere from 5 to 15 percent.

CONCRETE PATIOS/SIDEWALKS

Paving stones are used around the house in many different applications, including on walkways and patios. Sometimes, however, paving stones are beyond homeowners’ budgets. Fortunately, there’s another alternative that may look just as attractive and save homeowners money. Stamped concrete, also called textured or imprinted concrete, is a design element that replicates the look of stone, brick, wood, slate, or other materials in concrete. Stamped concrete can be used for patios, sidewalks, driveways, and pool decks. Stamped concrete also may be incorporated into interior ﬂooring designs. Homeowners can explore their options with regard to stamped concrete by speaking with a masonry expert or landscape architect.

Plants

to thrive and grow, but some need less sunlight than others. People who ﬁnd their landscapes are less supportive to sun-loving plants can choose from a variety of shade-tolerant plants, shrubs and trees.

Shade tolerance refers to a plant’s ability to withstand low levels of light. Certain plants have adapted this feature to survive in the wild. Plants that grow at the base of forest floors, for example, will get less sunlight than others outside of the tree canopy. Such adaptations enable a wide variety of foliage to grow even though they are not exposed to much sunlight. While sun-loving plants often have broad leaves and expend significant energy to capture sunlight for photosynthesis, shade-tolerant plants expend less energy and tend to be more efficient consumers of soil nutrients and sunlight.

Penn State Extension’s Plant and Pests division says the amount of shade a plant is growing under will directly affect the density of the foliage and the plant’s ﬂowering and fruiting characteristics. Blending shade-tolerant plants into the landscape can be an effective use of space. Before choosing plants for an existing landscape, it’s important to assess the level of shade or sun the plants will receive.

Once homeowners understand which type of shade they are dealing with, they can then visit plant nurseries and select their plants. Most greenery comes with care instructions that include recommendations regarding the amount of shade/sunlight the plant will need to do well. If further assistance is needed, a knowledgeable employee can make suggestions based on landscape needs.

Shade-tolerant plants can make welcome additions to the landscape, offering greenery and color in the darker areas of a property.

Features that can keep homeowners and their guests warm after the sun sets include outdoor fireplaces and firepits. A 2016 survey conducted by the American Society of Landscape Architects found that fireplaces and firepits were the most popular outdoor design element in 2016. Such features can provide a focal point in the backyard while also extending the outdoor living season into autumn and even early winter.

PLUMBING

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Brown patches: The National Association of Landscape Professionals notes that brown patches in a lawn often develop after heavy snowfall. Such patches tend to develop where large piles of shoveled snow were deposited, so homeowners can inspect alongside driveways and walkways. The NALP advises homeowners to rake away part of the brown patches ﬁrst. If green tissue is emerging beneath, then the lawn will likely be ﬁne in due time. However, if the area beneath is not green and surrounding areas are already turning green, homeowners may need to rake up dead tissue before applying topsoil to the affected spots. Once topsoil is spread, some grass seed can be spread and the grass should regain its green glory.

CARE FOR TOOLS PROPERLY

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

Major Amie Feroleto

A TRAILBLAZING LEADER IN THE NEW YORK STATE POLICE

On January 2nd, Major Amie P. Feroleto made history as the ﬁrst female commander of Troop A in the 107-year history of the New York State Police. As the 28th leader of the troop, she oversees all patrol and investigative operations across Western New York’s eight counties, managing a force of more than 400 sworn and civilian personnel. Her appointment marks a signiﬁcant milestone in law enforcement and “sets an inspiring precedent for future leaders in law enforcement.”

A Journey Shaped by Family and Community

Born and raised in Castile, Feroleto’s path to law enforcement was not initially planned. A graduate of Letchworth Central School, eyeing a career in business management or human resources, she grew up in a family deeply involved in the community, with her mother serving as a foreign language teacher and her father as a retired State Corrections Lieutenant. It was her father’s encouragement that led her and her sister to take the New York State Police entrance exam, a decision that would ultimately shape Amie’s career (her sister is now a NYSP Lieutenant at the NYS Intelligence Center and her brother recently retired from the Air Force).

Feroleto earned her undergraduate degree in Business Administration from SUNY Geneseo in 2000 and earned a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice at the University at Albany two decades later. She credits her passion for lifelong learning as a driving force behind her continuous professional development, including specialized training in law enforcement leadership, emergency management, and critical incident response.

Outside of work, Feroleto prioritizes time with her ﬁancé and three boys, sharing a love of sports and outdoor activities like hiking, boating, kayaking, and just relaxing on Silver Lake. She is also an active member of the New York State Police so ball team, embracing the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the team while promoting teamwork and morale in a diﬀerent capacity.

A Career Deﬁned by Dedication and Leadership

Feroleto’s 22-year career has been marked by diverse assignments across multiple troops and roles. She began as a ﬁeld training oﬃcer in Steuben County(TroopE),thenasatrooperinPlattsburgh(TroopB).Overtheyears, she climbed the ranks in Troop K (Westchester and Putnam Counties) and Troop D (Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties), eventually becoming Administrative Captain in Canandaigua (Troop E). Her experience also includes time in Professional Standards Bureau and Communications, as well as special assignments including the State Fair Exhibit, State Police Summer Program, Child Seat Technician role, Promotion Exam Detail, and the Master’s Program.

Reﬂecting on her career trajectory, Feroleto says, “When I started as a young trooper, my long-term goal was to achieve the rank of Lieutenant, following in my father’s footsteps. Once I reached that milestone, I set my sights on something new, becoming the ﬁrst female Major in Troop A. Now that I’ve reached that goal, I’m taking time to appreciate the journey and the people who helped me get here before deciding what’s next.”

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Change

Like many in law enforcement, Feroleto has faced challenges, particularly in balancing career and family. Taking time oﬀ to raise her children posed concerns about falling behind, but she says she “reminded [herself] that raising a family was just as important as [her] career,” and she “made a conscious eﬀort to be present for both.”

She has witnessed significant changes in the field, particularly regarding women’s roles. With national representation of women in policing historically at 11%, initiatives such as the 30x30 Initiative— aiming for 30% female recruits by 2030—are helping shi the landscape. Feroleto is deeply invested in these efforts, advocating for more women to pursue careers in law enforcement, and she said she’s “seen a noticeable rise in female recruits and leadership… the shi is encouraging… diversity, especially in leadership, is critical to strengthening our organization and enhancing how we serve our communities.”

Inspiring the Next Generation

As a mentor and leader, Feroleto emphasizes the importance of diversity in law enforcement. She recalls cutting her hair off before the academy to blend in, only to realize that the profession needs individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives. “If you have the dedication, integrity, and perseverance to pass the background, physical fitness exams, and psychological evaluations, then you belong in this profession. ere is no single ‘type’ of officer; what matters is your commitment to service and your ability to do the job with honor.”

She also recognizes the signiﬁcance of her position as a role model for young women considering a career in law enforcement. “I once read that ‘you cannot be what you cannot see,’ and that resonates deeply with me. I want other women to see women in leadership positions and know that leadership roles are not only attainable but something to aspire to.”

Feroleto is inspired by her colleagues, whom she says, “ ey are my motivation every day.” She seeks to recognize and appreciate oﬃcers’ service, sacriﬁce, and responsibilities, “fostering an environment where professionalism, growth, and service are prioritized.”

Looking Ahead

As Major of Troop A, Feroleto remains focused on fostering professionalism, mentorship, and excellence within the New York State Police. She is committed to strengthening community relationships through initiatives like the Special Olympics and organizations such as New York Women in Law Enforcement (NYWLE) and the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLE).

“If you have the dedication, integrity, and perseverance to pass the background, physical fitness exams, and psychological evaluations, then you belong in this profession. There is no single ‘type’ of officer; what matters is your commitment to service and your ability to do the job with honor.”

MAJOR AMIE P. FEROLETO

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS

Retired racing greyhounds are people-friendly. Despite what their love of running may suggest, retired racing greyhounds are very sociable and typically get along great with both adults and children. Many retired racing greyhounds have been handled by trainers, dog walkers, veterinarians, and others since they were very young. That exposure to humans has made them very sociable.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT A VETERINARY DENTAL CLEANING

Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, a pet’s vital signs are monitored and IV ﬂuids are administered to keep the animal comfortable and safe. Before the pet is brought out of anesthesia, dental x-rays also may be taken to check for problems not visible to the naked eye. The pet also will be monitored after anesthesia in the recovery room.

Hi, my name is Norman Rockwell. I was adopted from Barncat Outreach Inc. when I was at one of their clinics, where my human Mom volunteers. I came home to 3 adult sister cats that have decided they like me. I love all the toys and attention I get at my new home.

My dog has cancer. What next?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My Golden Retriever, “Jasmine,” was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. I’m devastated. She seemed to tire easily, so I took her to the vet for a checkup, where they said her lymph nodes were enlarged.They did a biopsy to conﬁrm that it was cancer. My question is, what now? The vet said she needs more tests, but I’m not sure what happens after. -- Grace T., Hartford, Connecticut

DEARGRACE: I’m glad you took Jasmine right to the vet,because even though the diagnosis is a serious one, she can start getting treatment that much sooner.

According to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine, lymphoma is sadly common in Golden Retrievers and other dog breeds. However, it can be treated, with chemotherapy as the primary therapy. Surgery might be recommended depending on the type of cancer.

Now that lymphoma has been conﬁrmed through the biopsy, the next step is to determine how far the cancer has spread through Jasmine’s body. Several tests are done: blood tests, urinalysis, a bone marrow test, X-rays and sonograms. Some veterinary ofﬁces are equipped for these tests, but you may be referred to specialist care for more advanced testing. These tests are essential for developing an appropriate treatment plan for your dog.

If the vet has not yet followed up with next steps since the diagnosis was made, call and ask for more details and their recommendation. Most vets provide this information along with the diagnosis, so it’s worrisome that you don’t have a path forward. You can always select a different vet if you aren’t conﬁdent in the current one.

FLU-FIGHTING TIPS: Food can be used to fend of the flu. Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful flu-fighters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the flu before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt, and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fight the flu, according to Mother Nature’s Network. The British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase the immune system’s ability to defend against infection.

BREEZE THROUGH SPRING CLEANING

Spring heralds a season of fresh starts and growth -- and what better way to start anew than with a little spring cleaning?

Taking the time to get organized can make all the difference -- and it can make the most cluttered closets and dirtiest corners a breeze to clean. With the right tools in hand, organizing any messy space becomes a mangeable task. You can save time and money by getting cleaning supplies, like dusters, sponges and automated air fresheners.

EXPLORE HOSPICE OPTIONS FOR END-OF-LIFE CARE

Hospice takes on many forms but focuses on caring for, but not curing, an individual. Hospice care is often administered in a person’s home, but it also can occur in freestanding hospice centers, long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals. Individuals can opt for various services, many of which can co-mingle with the care being provided by family, medical centers or long-term care homes.

DID YOU KNOW?

Howhouseholdsearntheirincome has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Centeral analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.
