DID YOU KNOW?
Pizza continues to remain a popular comfort food and go-to staple for quick, family-friendly meals. Statistics Brain reports that 93 percent of Americans eat at least one piece of pizza per month. Five billion pizzas are sold worldwide each year, and the United States accounts for three billion of those pizzas. The average person will eat 46 slices of pizza each year. The world can thank Raffaele Esposito for creating the first pizza that resembled the pizza the world knows today. Esposito created the pizza for Italy’s Queen Margherita when she visited Naples in 1889. The crust was garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to represent the national colors of Italy: red, white and green.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE
Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.
Now when the primrose makes a splendid show,
And lilies face the March-winds in full blow,
And humbler growths as moved with one desire

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SENIORS
Volunteering: Local environmental groups often sponsor cleanups at parks and waterfront attractions like beaches and lakes. Volunteering with such organizations is a great way to get outside and give back, and working with like-minded individuals can be a great way for seniors to meet new people. In addition, a national study sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2019 found that 88 percent of Senior Corps volunteers who initially reported a lack of companionship reported a decrease in feelings of isolation after volunteering.

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.

Typical bird care: Parrotlets, like other small birds, should stay in an environment with a consistent temperature and away from drafts. Cages should not be placed in direct sunlight, and the birds do better in square or rectangular cages. Seed for small birds as well as fresh vegetable and fruit offerings are tolerated. Check with a veterinarian or bird expert as to which fresh foods are acceptable.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

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.

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.
We 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.

Anesthesia Required for Colonoscopy Has a Very Low Risk of Delirium
Q.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.
A.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.

Diamond engagement rings are presented as tokens of love and affection during wedding proposals. The majority of first-time brides will receive a diamond ring, with surveys indicating only 13 percent opt for another gemstone. Researchers from Emory University determined that the average price for a diamond ring is roughly $2,500. However, grooms can spend much more. Diamonds have symbolized eternal love for centuries, perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.

Joe Altieri: A Journey Through Art, Education, and Photography
BY SUZIE WELLS
For the past several months, I’ve been amazed at the photos andexplanationsJoeAltieri,aWebster-basedphotographer, shares with the world via social media. He has such an eye for angles and captures the beauty that is all around us, no matter the season. It’s my pleasure to share his story here.
Born in Rochester and growing up in East Irondequoit as a first-generation American to Italian parents, education was a priority in Joe’s household. As the eldest of three children, he grew up under the strong guidance of his father, who worked hard to ensure school prepared Joe and his siblings for success. Joe earned a Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology, setting the stage for a career blending artistic vision with practical design. His early professional experience in graphic design allowed him to collaborate with local businesses alongside a supportive team, nurturing his passion for creative expression.
Joe was also a swim coach, where he found fulfillment in guiding students toward success and building connections with parents, which inspired him to pursue a degree in Art Education at Nazareth College, later earning a Master’s in Educational Technology. His teaching journey spanned private institutions, the Rochester City School District, and a role as a building-based substitute in East Irondequoit, the community that shaped his childhood. Currently, he teaches Design Technology to seventh and eighth graders, integrating his artistic background into engaging, handson projects.
Photography, an integral part of Joe’s upbringing, became a serious pursuit over the past decade. His father’s camera, a cherished family heirloom, sparked Joe’s fascination with capturing life’s moments. “It still works and every time I see it, I’m flooded with family memories,” he says. rough mentorship and exploration, Joe has honed his skills, gravitating toward wildlife, landscapes, astronomy, portraits, and abstract imagery. His love for birds, particularly eagles, deepened during the pandemic, a period that allowed him to closely observe and document the avian wonders of the region. He says, “ e winter season brings them closer and more visible. I’m inspired by their grace, strength, and resilience.”
Astrophotography has also been a passion, aligning with Joe’s enthusiasm for science and the cosmos. His photographic journey also expanded to include portraiture, where he found profound meaning in capturing milestone moments for high school seniors. For Joe, photography is more than a visual medium – it is a tool for education, storytelling, and community connection.
“Photography opens doors to those creative challenges that encourages others to explore, discover, and create their own unique experiences.”
JOE ALTIERI
Joe’s approach to photography is deeply educational. Each image he shares serves as an opportunity to engage, inform, and inspire others. His goal is to create an environment where viewers can step outside their comfort zones, explore new perspectives, and engage in thought-provoking discussions, saying, “Photography opens doors to those creative challenges that encourages others to explore, discover, and create their own unique experiences.”
While technology plays a role in his cra , his focus remains on composition, storytelling, and emotional impact rather than the latest equipment.
Photography has become a profound extension of Joe’s personality and interests, allowing him to forge meaningful connections with others. Whether through a landscape that evokes nostalgia, a wildlife shot that transports viewers to nature’s tranquility, or a portrait that preserves a significant life event, his work elicits deep emotional responses. e joy of helping someone relive a cherished memory fuels his passion and motivates him to continue capturing and sharing moments that resonate.
Despite challenges of balancing work, family, and creative pursuits, Joe credits his wife as his biggest supporter,

recognizing her patience and encouragement in his artistic endeavors. He finds inspiration in the ever-changing landscapes of the region, from the dynamic transformations brought by the seasons to the endless creative possibilities within local parks and lakes.
For Joe, the most rewarding aspect of photography is the human connection it fosters. e conversations sparked by his images, the shared experiences, and the stories exchanged along the way give depth to his work. To him, a photograph is not merely an image but a story – a reflection of life, emotion, and meaning.
For those embarking on a photographic journey, Joe offers this wisdom: photography is more than mastering technical skills; it is a journey of self-discovery and expression. rough the lens, you will gain the ability to notice and appreciate the little details that make life beautiful. e power of photography lies in its ability to share perspectives, provoke thought, and create lasting connections with others.
Joe Altieri continues to explore, capture, and teach, sharing his unique artistic vision with the world. His work stands as a testament to the power of creativity, education, and the everpresentstorieswaitingtobetoldthroughtheartofphotography.
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.

FINDING THE RIGHT FENCING
Many homeowners love wood fencing because of its versatility with regard to design and color. The options are endless when it comes to crafting wood fencing, which also can be stained in any color homeowners prefer. Wood fencing can be designed not only for homeowners who prioritize privacy, but it also can be crafted for homeowners for whom privacy is not a significant concern. Wood is a relatively inexpensive fencing material, but the maintenance required to keep wood fencing looking great can sometimes be costly and time-consuming.

Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or enlist the surfaces of carpet and upholstery cleaners to give floors a thorough cleaning. You may be surprised at how clean and fresh a home looks and smells once rugs and carpets are deep-cleaned. You also can make a dry carpet cleaner using baking soda, corn starch and desired fresh herbs for fragrance. Sprinkle and then vacuum up after a few hours.

Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term. If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.

Certain people, such as those over the age of 51, African Americans or those with certain conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day.
