DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

at shall they call us?

Several years ago a big university decided that we should no longer be called seniors or elderly. Instead, we should be called “a person over 65” or maybe “older adult.” They went so far as to direct students at the university to follow “various guidelines” to ensure that ... well, what? That we’re not insulted by being called seniors? That they’re not inviting bias by calling us elderly?

What hooey.

The problem is that those guidelines don’t all agree. While one says to avoid the label “elderly,” another says it is “permitted in headlines due to space constraints.” In other words, it’s OK to use the offending word when it’s more convenient?

Again, what hooey.

Scrolling around the internet I see that universities, institutes, corporations and others are all copying off each other’s paper and deciding that certain words ought to be banned when it comes to age. Instead of saying “a group of seniors,” they want writers to insert a specific number, such as “persons 65 years and older.”

Many of the style guides seem to be fixated on age 65, yet others suggest leaving the actual number out altogether if possible. It’s safer that way.

I don’t care if someone wants to call me a senior as long as they’re willing to help me by reaching for the item on the high shelf at the grocery store. I do care that nobody at the dealership tries to sell me an unnecessary service for my car just because I’m an older female. I do care that the guy at the cellphone store doesn’t doubt me when I say that my phone battery is defective. I do care that my Social Security check is deposited on time.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary, bless their hearts, lists several definitions for “senior.” I like the second one: a person with higher standing or rank.

PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT

Too many accounts: A 2019 study from the credit reporting agency Experian found that the average American has four credit cards. Though many consumers can effectively manage that many cards, the more cards an individual has, the easier it can be to lose track of spending. More cards also means a greater potential for more debt, as each card has its own limit that is unrelated to the limits on other cards.

Choose the right date and time

Plan when to hold the sale by looking at the calendar and choosing an open weekend. Many people host their yard sales on Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings, theorizing that this is when the most people will be free to browse their wares. Begin early in the morning so that shoppers will not need to disrupt their schedules much to visit neighborhood sales. A 7 a.m. start time will attract the early birds and free up most of the day.

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.

ROASTED BANANA COFFEE CAKE

Serves 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 1 tablespoon at room temperature for the pan

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 bananas

3/4 cup chopped pecans

3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

11/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan with the 1 tablespoon room temperature butteranddustwiththegranulated sugar and tip out any excess.

Place the bananas on a small rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on low speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then add the roasted bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Beat until incorporated.

With the mixer running on low speed, spoon in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle evenly with the pecan topping. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanwithafewcrumbsattached.

WORDS WITH A LEG

BRAIN-HEALTHY HABITS TO EMBRACE

Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

The Alzheimer’s Association says that more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. By 2050, that number could rise to as high as 16 million people. More than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, says the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association.

Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise: Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory.

The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit smoking: The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.

Eat healthy foods: Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables,

whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Consume caffeine: Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work the brain: Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.

A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.

Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

Establish the budget. Homeowners should figure out how many dollars they can designate to a living room makeover before purchasing supplies or hiring out the work. Figure out the scope of the remodel, visit stores or suppliers to price out materials, get estimates from contractors, and then plan for some unforeseen circumstances along the way to determine if this type of renovation is affordable. If not, scale things back until the project more closely aligns with your budget.

ITEMS TO IMPROVE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES

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 featurescanprovideafocalpointinthebackyardwhilealsoextendingthe outdoor living season into autumn and even early winter.

FINDING THE RIGHT FENCING

Chain-link fences may not add the aesthetic appeal homeowners are looking for, but they are relatively inexpensive, durable and functional. Chain-link fences are low maintenance, though homeowners looking for fences to provide some privacy may need to get creative if they install chain-link fencing. Planting flowers, shrubbery or trees near chain-link fences can add some aesthetic appeal and a little privacy.

TIPS

NEGOTIATING WITH CONTRACTORS

Do your homework. Getting the best price typically require shopping around and not settling on the first bid.Experts recommend getting at least three estimates on the same job - and be sure to let each contractor know that you are soliciting multiple bids. This alone may entice a specific contractor to give you his or her best offer up front. Avoid simply choosing the lowest bid. Look at quality of work, reputation and reviews. If you like a costly contractor more than another, see if that contractor is willing to match a lower bid to win the job.

FRESHEN UP YOUR HOME FOR THE SPRING SEASON

Clean existing light fixtures. Another way to brighten the mood in a home is to periodically clean light fixtures to make sure they are working effectively. Spend time dusting them and cleaning off any accumulated debris. If need be, switch out old lamp shades for newer ones that let more light shine through. If inadequate lighting is a problem no matter how many lamps you have, consult with an electrician about installing more overhead and accent lighting.

Cinco de Mayo is observed in the United States. Costume parties are hosted for friends and family, with the colors of the Mexican flag (red, white, and green) used in decorations. Mexican folk music is played and danced to.

The celebrations are also taken to the streets with large parades and special promotions on Mexican food. Fun Facts

16.7% – the percentage of U.S. residents of Mexican origin.

DID YOU KNOW?

Once a term that dominated newspaper headlines and environmental discourse, “global warming” is now heard far less frequently. Many may assume global warming has been rebranded as “climate change,” but the two are not one and the same. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global warming refers exclusively to the Earth’s rising surface temperature, while climate change includes global warming but also its side effects. Such side effects include the melting of the world’s glaciers and the growing frequency of drought and heavier rainstorms. Global warming is also used most often to refer to warming caused by humans, while climate change is a term used when discussing environmental changes that are human-caused or natural.

FLU-FIGHTING TIPS: Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications - which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms - can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza. Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off.

‘BREATHE EASIER’

HEALTHCARE DONATION PROGRAM

(NAPSI)—Healthcare workers on the front lines of the pandemic are in desperate need of creative solutions to the lack of personal protective gear and supplies that help block harmful airborne pathogens. But civic-minded companies can help.

For example, NasalGuard Airborne Particle Blocker, an electrostatic topical nasal gel that prevents airborne particles from entering the nose, created the “Breathe Easier Healthcare Workers Donation Program.”The firm offers free nasal gel to any healthcare professional who’d like to try it. Requests can be sent via www.NasalGuard.com.

“NasalGuard is drug-free and safe for children, the elderly, pregnant or nursing women, and those concerned about potential drug interactions with other medications,” says Kanika Wahi, a biomedical engineer and co-inventor of the micriofiltration technology. “As people take protective measures to help themselves during this time, NasalGuard is another tool in their arsenal of prevention. We at NasalGuard are proud to support the frontline healthcare workers as well as anyone else in need of preventative products.”

The company has long believed in giving back and has donated thousands of units of NasalGuard Airborne Particle Blocker nationally and internationally through a number of well-known charitable organizations.

Make sure the windshield is clean. Water marks, dead insects, cracks, and road grime can make it even harder to see out of the windshield when the sun is blazing. Clean windshields regularly, and don’t wait until you’re head-on into the sun to engage the windshield washer spray. Doing so may only further compromise visibility.

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN BUYING FROM A PRIVATE SELLER

Confirm the number of owners. There’s no magic number of owners a vehicle can have before it’s considered too risky to buy, but the more owners a car has had, the less likely buyers will learn its full history. In addition, if sellers were not the first owners, they won’t know how the car was treated or driven prior to them buying it. That’s another potential red flag to consider before buying a car that has had more than one owner.

Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses.

While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for the ride. Drivers about to embark on a road trip, whether it’s their first such venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

“I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who does not like reading…” ~ Macaulay

The person who loves to read is never alone…he has his choice of good friends, all available in the pages of books. Reading gives unlimited access to every point on earth, or even into far corners of the universe.

The man who has plenty of books is wealthy…wealthy in terms of travel, of adventure, of knowledge that he can put to use in countless ways. He is much better off than others, even a mighty king, who have never learned of the satisfaction to be found between the covers of a book.

We take great pains to arrange all floral tributes so as to obtain the full beauty and the most pleasing overall effect. No detail is overlooked.

DID YOU KNOW?

Music courses can have a profound impact on students, potentially helping them perform better in other subjects. A recent study from the American Psychological Association found that high school students who take music courses score significantly better on exams in subjects like math and science than their nonmusical peers. The improved academic performance was more pronounced among students who learned to play an instrument rather than vocal music. The researchers behind the study examined the records of more than 112,000 students in British Columbia. Among the students whose records were studied, 13 percent had participated in at least one music course in grade 10, 11 or 12. Researchers discovered that, on average, children who learned to play a musical instrument for many years and ultimately played in a high school band or orchestra were the equivalent of roughly one academic year ahead of their peers in regard to their English, mathematics and science skills.

Tips for camping safely with your dog

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My partner and I are first-time campers, planning to go on our first outing in late May at a state park. We have an adult dog, “JayJay,” who will come along with us. What tips do you have to keep him safe and having fun all weekend?

– Kerry in Atlanta

DEAR KERRY: Camping with your dog can be a lot of fun if you prepare correctly. Keep some key points in mind:

– Make sure your dog doesn’t bother other campers.

– Ensure that your dog is leashed and under control at all times.

– Clean up after your dog.

– Make sure your dog has ample water, food and bedding.

One way to prepare is to set up a test camp in your backyard, if you can. Set up your tent and set out all of the items you’ll be using during the outing -- cooler, chairs, stoves, etc. Put JayJay on his leash and walk him all through the mock campsite, and into the tent, so that he gets familiar with all of these things. Then roll out your sleeping mat and bedding inside the tent, including JayJay’s bedding, and climb in. Let JayJay roam the tent interior and have him lie down on his bedding. (This is also the perfect time to test all your new gear, put sealer on the tent seams, and shake things down.)

Once at camp, follow the campsite rules about pets. JayJay will need to be on a leash anytime he’s outside. It’s important that he comes back when you call him, if he gets loose. If you’re worried about your dog barking at night, try to book a campsite that is farther away from others.

Well-Mannered Young People

At a fast-food place I dropped a coin as a teenaged couple was walking by, he quickly picked it up and returned it. I said, “Thank you, your Mom taught you well.” Minutes later I met up with her in the restroom, I remarked to her that she’s very fortunate to have a special friend like him. We need well-mannered young people like them to make the world a better place.

Hometown Stories

Thank you for sharing the stories of folks around town in the Hometown Stories column. In this world of egocentrism and tunnel vision, it’s so nice to read of people doing good around town. Thank you to all who give of their time and energy to make the world a better place.

Two neighbors have floodlights that go on at night, EVERY night, and it’s like the literal sun is beaming into my bedroom. It’s so obnoxious, bright, and surely must violate code enforcement. How would you like if someone had the brightest flashlight in the world beaming into your room while you tried to sleep? Some people have no sense and no thought to their neighbors. We live in a safe neighborhood too... just get motion detectors and stop being an a-word.

Visiting the local library, I had an annoying person talking to a group at full volume near me. He kept it up for 15 minutes and would not stop or keep it down. There were other places for him to talk, but he stayed there. When was it acceptable to talk in a library? I was told that it was not tolerated and you were notified if you did not abide. People should realize others need to concentrate on their work or reading and it is our right to not be disturbed.

CANNABIS AND CANCER-RELATED PAIN

The National Cancer Institute notes that, while more research is necessary, small studies have indicated the potential benefits of cannabis in helping cancer patients overcome the pain associated with their disease. According to the NCI, a small study of 21 patients with chronic pain who combined vaporized cannabis with morphine experienced improved pain relief compared to patients who took only morphine. However, combining vaporized cannabis with oxycodone, a narcotic pain reliever and cough suppressant that is similar to morphine, did not produce significantly greater pain relief. In addition, two small studies indicated that delta-9-THC, the main active cannabinoid in marijuana, helped to relieve pain as well as nausea and vomiting. A second study indicated that delta-9-THC given in doses could provide pain relief similar to that provided by codeine, a pain-relieving drug derived from morphine. The NCI also cites a study that indicated a cannabis plant extract medicine effectively relieved pain when sprayed under the tongue of advanced cancer patients whose pain was not relieved by strong opioids alone. That study also indicated that some patients were able to continue to control their cancer-related pain without needing higher doses of the cannabis spray or higher doses of other pain medications they were taking.

SAFE WAYS TO DEAL WITH SINUS PRESSURE

Sinuses are bony, hollow, air-filled cavities inside the face and skull. They are located in the low-center of the forehead, behind the eyes and in bones behind the nose. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center says the sinuses lighten the skull and produce a mucus that moisturizes the inside of the nose. Unfortunately, when colds or the flu strike, sinuses may become one of the first spots affected by these illnesses.

When the sinuses are working properly, mucus will drain into the nasal passages or out the back of the throat. Most of this drainage goes unnoticed. However, the American Sinus Institute says that factors such as allergies, illness, weather changes, dehydration, and dry air can make thesinusmucusthickeranddrainagemoredifficult.Thisiswhenproblems like infection, stuffiness or throat irritation may occur.

In order to combat sinus congestion and drainage concerns, people may try certain strategies that include flushing the sinuses and thinning the mucus. It is imperative to use safe flushing methods to keep the sinuses healthy.

Netipotsareamongthemorepopularmethodstoflushingsinuses.These small teapot-like devices with elongated snouts have become a fixture in many medicine cabinets. Because they are drug-free alternatives, they can be handy for those worried about antihistamines making them drowsy or reacting with other drugs. Neti pots and other nasal irrigation systems use saline to moisten and clear out nasal passages to promote drainage of sinus cavities. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, using these devices improperly can increase one’s risk of infection. CBS News says that neti pots have even been linked to the deadly Naegleria fowleri, which is otherwise known as the “braineating” amoeba.

The key to preventing infection is to only use previously boiled, sterile or distilled water to irrigate. Tap water is not adequately filtered, says the FDA, and may contain low levels of organisms that can stay alive in nasal passages and potentially cause serious infections.

Those who are concerned about nasal irrigation safety may be wise to skip neti pots and use pre-packaged, sterile saline solutions that are bottled for the purpose of alleviating congestion. However, when prepared water is used in a clean neti pot or other device, these methods can be perfectly safe.

Sinuses can get clogged for many reasons. To free up breathing, people are urged to consult their physicians to learn more about how to safely irrigate their nasal passages.

Raising Magnesium Intake Helps With HeartbeatBigeminy

DEAR DR.ROACH: Severalmonthsago,Ideveloped a case of a bigeminy heartbeat, so my cardiologist prescribed metoprolol. At about the same time, I had reduced my intake of magnesium from about 50% of the daily value (DV) to 35%. (This may have preceded the bigeminy onset.)

Quite by accident, I read an article recommending magnesium for a heart arrhythmia. Within a week or so of reading the article, I started magnesium gluconate at 100% of the DV. I have been taking this and metoprolol for about a month, and my condition has improved about 95%.

The question is: How can we tell if shorting down the magnesium to 35% was actually the cause and increasing it to 100% was the cure? -- L.R.

Q. A.

ANSWER: Bigeminy, more precisely ventricular bigeminy, is a term most people probably haven’t heard of, but most people have heard of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). Ventricular bigeminy is when every other beat is a PVC and alternates with regular beats.

While this rhythm can happen in people without any heart disease or risk factors, your cardiologist will have considered many underlying causes such as excess alcohol use, anemia, low oxygen levels, and thyroid disease. A beta blocker like metoprolol is usually the first drug that is used as beta blockers reduce adrenalin levels, reduce the oxygen needs of the heart, and are proven to be effective at reducing the number of PVCs.

A low magnesium level is another risk factor for PVCs and ventricular bigeminy, and there are case reports of the rhythm going away completely with magnesium. So, while we can’t be sure whether your bigeminy was caused by a low magnesium level, the story is suggestive that it’s a real possibility.

I don’t recommend taking magnesium except in people who have low levels,but 100% of the DV of magnesium is quite safe to take.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to promote their long-term health. The CDC recommends that men and women age 65 or older who are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions need at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, each week. In addition, such people should perform strengthtraining activities that work all major muscle groups at least two days per week. While many fit older men and women with no preexisting health conditions are capable of these activities, those able to push themselves a little further can opt for 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, such as jogging or running, combined with the same strength-training regimen. A combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity coupledwithstrengthtrainingmay also provide adequate physical activity for aging men and women. Before beginning a new exercise regimen, men and women should consult with their physicians to discuss any limitations they may have and how to manage those risks while still being active.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the American Cancer Society, the average age at the time of diagnosis of testicular cancer is 33. Young and middle-aged men are the most likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer, though the ACS notes that 14 percent of cases occur in children, teens and men over the age of 55. The ACS estimates that roughly 440 men will die of testicular cancer in 2021. Though that’s troubling, testicular cancer can usually be treated successfully. In fact, the ACS notes that a man’s lifetime risk of dying from the disease is one in 5,000. However, the incidence rate of testicular cancer has been increasing in many countries, including the United States, for several decades. The reasons for that are unknown, though the rise in incidences underscores the need for men, especially young men, to discuss testicular cancer, including its risk factors and symptoms, with their physicians.

SOY FOODS PACK A POWERFUL PUNCH

The Cleveland Clinic notes that soy foods provide a host of nutritional benefits. Plant protein, including soy, can provide cardiovascular benefits, including helping with people with high blood pressure lower their blood pressure to healthier levels. While many people rely on animal-based proteins to get their daily recommended intake of protein, soy foods are naturally free of cholesterol and low in saturated fats. That makes soy foods more heart-healthy sources of protein than animal products. The Cleveland Clinic says substituting soy foods for animal-based proteins a few times per week can reduce a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease. Soy foods also can be a great source of dietary fiber, though the U.S. Soybean Export Council advises consumers that not all soy products are the same. The USSEC notes that foods like soy milk and tofu contain very little fiber. People who want to utilize soy beans as a source of dietary fiber should look to foods that utilize the whole bean, such tempeh, soy flour and textured soy protein. The USSEC also notes there’s some confusion in regard to the connection between soy foods and iron, though the group admits research is ongoing. While a 1/2 cup serving of cooked soybeans contains four milligrams ofiron,thephytateandsoyprotein present in soy foods reduce iron absorption, meaning that the body won’t really benefit from the iron. However,theUSSECrecommends consumers purchase fermented soy foods, including tempeh and miso, because the body might absorbmoreironfromthesefoods than it will when consuming other types soy foods.

FROM HONEOYE FALLS-LIMA TO NATIONAL CHAMPION:

Brynn Mooney’s Journey of Grit and Growth in SUNY Geneseo Track

BY SUZIE WELLS

Brynn Mooney, a Honeoye Falls-Lima graduate and SUNY Geneseo junior, has quickly risen to national prominence. A biology major aiming for a career in environmental science, conservation biology, or ecology, she transformed from a middle schooler running to cross-train for volleyball to a Division III national track champion, setting school and conference records in the 400m. Despite sectional titles and memorable relay victories in high school, Mooney hadn’t planned to run in college. However, the strong Geneseo track tradition –shared by mentors like Tom Sangiacomo – drew her in. Under coach Christopher Popovici, Mooney has thrived in both indoor and outdoor track.

“Watching my teammates overcome adversity and grow as athletes pushes me to compete and show up for them every day.”

BRYNN MOONEY

Mooney’s freshman year at Geneseo was anything but smooth. Breaking her foot during winter break training forced her to sit out the entire indoor and outdoor seasons, but she leaned into the challenge. “I took a step back to see whatIneededtofixinordertobesuccessful,whichallowed me to train hard over the summer before my sophomore year,”shesays,andthatpersistenceledhertonationalsinthe outdoor 400m. Coach Popovici recalls her determination, saying, “She took ownership of her rehab and kept both her and I accountable... at’s atypical of a first-year student.”

Mooney admits her greatest growth has been in her mindset. While she had previously dreaded hard practices and workouts, she finds herself now looking forward to them as opportunities to improve. She’s learned to “take pride in the journey, not just the results,” saying that “even on days when things didn’t go perfectly, I found value in effort, consistency, and showing up for my team.”

SUNY GENESEO TRACK WOMEN BRYNN SECOND FROM RIGHT

Her sophomore year performance anxiety was so high she vomited before a few races, but she has learned to visualize races during the week and tell herself the day of a meet that “it’s just a hard workout but people are there to watch.” at outlook change has made a world of difference, she says.

Breaking Records, Setting Standards

Six-time USTFCCCA Academic All-American at this point, Mooney’s junior season has been her most decorated yet. At the Boston meet this year, she broke her program record by almost an entire second and set new conference records in both the open 400m and 4x400. But individual glory is only part of the story. “I am most proud of placing fi h as a team at nationals this year,” Mooney says, emphasizing her teammates’ hard work and resilience.

One of Mooney’s favorite parts of being on the Geneseo team is the vibrant, tight-knit community, describing the T-Team, a bunch of students who travel to meets to dress in Geneseo colors, paint their faces, and cheer on the athletes at all the meets. e team spirit fuels her drive. She also says she’s so lucky to have so many incredible teammates who have inspired her. Gwen Shepardson and Kieran Sheridan were seniors when Mooney was a freshman, and their amazing Geneseo careers inspired Mooney to work hard to be like them. She also acknowledges current senior captain, Janelle Eckl, who is “the sweetest person ever, coming to practice each day with a smile and a positive attitude even when she’s having a bad day.” Mooney says Eckl “inspires all of us to be better athletes and people,” adding “Watching my teammates overcome adversity and grow as athletes pushes me to compete and show up for them every day.”

Balancing a demanding academic courseload with high-level athletics hasn’t been easy. To stay on top of coursework even when competitions take her out of classes, she has to effectively manage her time. “A er a hardpractice,thelastthingIwanttodoismyhomework,” she says, so she plans ahead to tackle assignments early in the week to focus on meets and travel later in the week, which has helped significantly. She admits, “Missing classes due to travel is hard; staying disciplined and reviewing class material you miss is harder.”

Looking Ahead

Mooney’s goals are as grounded as they are ambitious. “I want to stay healthy, break more school records/PRs, help score points for my team, and have fun with my teammates,” she says. Academically, she plans to pursue a master’s degree a er her undergrad. And beyond that, she says, “I’d say my biggest goals in life are to travel, get a dog, and maybe a few chickens.”

Her advice to younger athletes is to “Remember to be present and in the moment. Your teammates will graduate and leave, so the time you spend with them means everything.” Besides that, the biggest lesson she says she’s learned is that not every workout is going to be perfect, but consistency and trusting the process makes it worthwhile and will result in improvement.

Coach Popovici describes Geneseo’s track program as a special place shaped by its strong legacy and continued by athletes like Mooney. As alumni, Coach Popovici and Coach Dan Moore continue the culture and aspirations they valued as student-athletes nearly three decades ago. eir mission remains to build student-athletes’ self-belief, support their passions, and balance athletic excellence with academics.

With her blend of self-discipline, humility, and tenacity, Brynn Mooney is a testament to that philosophy–and a rising star who’s building a legacy all her own.
