Sheltering Pets During a Disaster

DEAR CHARLIE: Knowing ahead of time what emergency services are available in a disaster is an excellent move.

You won’t have as many unpleasant surprises during the high stress of a natural disaster. But it is a bummer that the local disaster shelter doesn’t accept pets.

First, locate the nearest disaster shelter that does allow you to shelter with your pet.

Develop a contingency plan for evacuating to this shelter, if possible. Another option is to identify pet-friendly hotels within an hour or two of your home; if you need to leave for more than a day, these may be an option.

Next, find out if there are designated shelters just for pets during or after a natural disaster. You wouldn’t be able to stay with your pets, but they would be safe.

Third, get engaged with the local government and animal shelter. Talk to your new veterinarian, too. Find out if there’s a local emergency management office and call them. Are any plans in place for taking care of pets in a disaster? If not, ask for steps to be taken to include this contingency.

During California’s wildfires in 2018, there were very few facilities just for animals, and no shelters allowed them. The need was so great that empty strip malls were repurposed to care for pets and abandoned animals. Urge local government to create a plan now, before a disaster, so all pets in the area will have a safe place to stay. ●

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I just moved to a new part of the country, where natural disasters like floods are more frequent than I’m used to.

When checking out available emergency services, I found out that there is no emergency shelter nearby that allows pets.

What can I do? -- Charlie B., via email

CHALLENGES OF GOING REMOTE WITH YOUR BUSINESS CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ensuring customers can seamlessly connect with your business, and your customer service staff in particular, should be a priority when switching to a remote work setting. Remote customer service employees won’t have the direct access to management and fellow team members that they had when working on-site, so business owners can employ central management platforms that make it easy to access information regarding new products and services and previous interactions with and responses to customers. That access can help solve issues while reducing the likelihood of substantial lag time as customer service employees wait to hear from coworkers and managers about how to respond to certain issues.

Stephen Michael Ditzel April 17, 2020 West Pueblo, CO/Batavia, NY: Stephen Michael Ditzel, age 29, passed April 17 in West Pueblo, Colorado. Stephen was born September 26, 1990 in the City of Batavia and was a graduate of Batavia High School. He leaves behind his mother, Mary Ditzel; father, William Ditzel; sisters, Christine and Tina Ditzel; nephews, Willie, Malcolm, Brody, Malik and Marshall; and nieces, Christine, Brooke, Faith and Paralee.

Stephen was a free spirit who loved to travel and spend time exploring the natural world, a passion that led him to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. He enjoyed creating music, studying botany and horticulture, exercising and watching documentaries. For several years he resided in the small town of Crestone, Colorado, nestled at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Range, where he pursued his love of exploration and desire to meet new people who shared his interests and aspirations.

Stephen will be missed dearly by his family and friends who recall his humble, kind and compassionate demeanor and willingness to lend a helping hand. His family encourages all to honor and remember his life in every mountain they climb, every trail they walk, every smile they offer to a stranger, every hand they reach out to shake and every unknown road they choose to travel.

A procession to honor Stephen will take place Sunday, May 17 at 1pm beginning on North Lyon Street in the City of Batavia and ending at the Genesee County Park.

CREATE AN ENDURING MEMORIAL FOR A LOVED ONE Fund renovations at museums, schools or arts centers. Another way to memorialize a loved one is to make a donation to his or her favorite organization. Donors’ names routinely are memorialized on walls, floors or plaques on buildings.

“One of the secrets of a happy life is to forgive everybody everything every night before you go to bed…” ~ from Ann Landers

It’s an imperfect world we all live in and no doubt we all experience situations that give us good cause to feel hurt sometimes very deeply hurt. Somehow we feel that if we “nurse our grudge” and vow never to forgive the one who hurts us, we are somehow getting even.

Actually, such repressed hatreds hurt us much more than anyone else. Even if we fail to understand why someone has acted hatefully toward us, if we can forgive them and forget the incident, we have established control and we will be happier for doing so.

We serve all faiths, creeds and fraternal orders with perfectly appropriate services. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds.

WHAT IS A WILL? The online financial resource Investopedia notes that wills are legally enforceable documents that dictate how people want their affairs handled and assets allocated in the wake of their deaths.

Wills should include a host of information, including who a person wants to assume guardianship of their minor-aged children should they pass away. This is especially important information to include in a will, as surviving relatives may have to go to court to contest guardianship if parents do not dictate who they want to serve as guardians in their wills.

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

With a lot of parents facing the challenge of keeping housebound kids happy and healthy, this is the perfect time to teach kids the basics of nutrition and eating right. (Family Features) HEALTHY SNACK TIME TASTE TESTS: Sometimes it feels like kids can snack all day long on easy-to-grab crackers, chips or cookies. Next time they reach into the snack pantry, try incorporating a taste test or food critic activity to encourage something different and more nutritious.

PURPOSEFUL PLAYTIME: Many households have a play kitchen or some kind of play food. Use this as an opportunity to act out how to create a healthy kitchen with activities like making salad, setting the table, peeling bananas and washing dishes. This can help young children become more independent, learn what to expect and grow into little helpers at family mealtime.

SENSORY ACTIVITY: One idea that can work for school and at home is making a sensory box. Simply place a fruit or two inside a tissue box and have children put their hands inside then try to guess which fruit it is by feeling it.

NOW HERE'S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson * If you have a stubborn stain on the driveway or garage floor, try oven cleaner. Spray the spot and cover it (to keep pets out) and then let it sit for several hours. Give it a good scrub and rinse with the hose. It might just do the trick! * “I have a tip for you. When pouring water in your coffee pot, use a 4-inch funnel by placing it in the tank. Helps from spilling water. Pour slowly!” -- P.T. in Illinois * Three ways to honor veterans on Memorial Day: pause for the National Moment of Remembrance (3 p.m. local time), a minute-long pause to remember those who lost their lives in service to our country; donate flowers or place flowers on the graves of veterans in your local cemetery; listen to the stories of veterans through StoryCorps’ oral history project (storycorps. org/discover/military-voices). * “Here’s a recipe tip from my brother’s man cave: Take a can of beer and mix it with a cup of barbecue sauce.

Add a couple drops of hot sauce if you’re feeling spicy. Use the mix to marinate chicken thighs for several hours before slapping them on the grill. He says the beer helps the chicken absorb the flavor, and he must be right, because it’s so yummy.” -- E.D. in Arkansas

HEMP HAS SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS FOR PETS (NAPSI)—NaturVet’s veterinarian-formulated pet supplements have progressed over the last 25 years to keep up with the ever-changing needs of pet parents. NaturVet’s newest Hemp for Health product line includes four top products—Allergy, Calming, Immune and Joint— that are now available enhanced with Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Powder, sharing the same great original base formulas that pet parents have relied on for years.

Although marijuana and hemp come from the same cannabis family, the plants are completely different in function, cultivation and application.

Hemp is grown specifically for agricultural purposes and has been used for hundreds of years in textiles, body care products, paper products, industrial products and building materials. Most importantly, hemp is nonpsychoactive and cannot get your pet high.

Hemp has significant health benefits for pets. Hemp is high in fiber; a great source of plant-based protein; is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids; and contains phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and 20 amino acids. Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Powder work synergistically with other active ingredients to help provide support for allergies, stress and anxiety, joints, aches and discomfort, the immune system, and overall health and wellness. For more information on NaturVet products, please visit www.NaturVet.com or call (888) 628-8783.

Send us a photo and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Email to: sales@gvpennysaver.com or mail to: P.O. Box 340; Avon, 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne * Albino lobsters are the only variety that doesn’t turn red when cooked. But don’t count on testing this anytime soon, as the odds of catching one in the wild are estimated at one in 100 million!

SPICY STEAK TAMPICO Makes 4 servings 4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 ounces and 3/4-inch thick) 2 tablespoons olive oil Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup roasted green chile peppers (see below) 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Route 5, Stafford • 343-6972 No affiliation with Red Osier Rochester, RPM Enterprise or Total Sandwich Catering.

2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 F for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

To roast chiles: Preheat greased outdoor grill to medium or preheat an oven broiler. Place fresh chiles on outdoor grill or gas stovetop over medium heat or arrange on a baking sheet and place 2 to 3 inches away from heat under broiler. Grill or broil, turning often with tongs, until surfaces of skin are lightly charred and blistered. Immediately place peppers in a paper bag or an airtight container and close tightly. Let peppers cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and remove stems and seeds. Tear into strips or chop as needed according to the recipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Refrigerate peppers for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 6 months.

College Life Insights from SUNY Brockport’s President Macpherson

By Amanda Dudek

L

ife dramatically changed for many of us when COVID-19, followed by its restrictions, hit the United States. This was no less true for colleges across the country, including our own SUNY College at Brockport.

Heidi Macpherson, President of SUNY College at Brockport, shares updates about its present and glimpses into its future.

“The world changed right around the time our students were on Spring Break,” said Macpherson. “We had about ten days to transition all of our classes to an alternative delivery format.” More than 1,700 classes transitioned away from a face-to-face format, even very hands-on and interactive courses such as dance, theatre, the arts, and nursing.

“I am so impressed by the incredible creativity of our faculty as they embraced the challenge of thinking through how best to ensure our students met their learning outcomes,” she said. Several policy alterations were made for the semester, including extending the offer of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading to students for a wider range of courses and employee telecommuting which reduced campus density dramatically.

Some college items were not able to transition. “Sadly, all of our spring and summer events were cancelled,” said Macpherson, referring to various ceremonies such as commencement ceremonies and the high school graduation ceremonies it usually hosts. The decision not to hold the college graduation ceremonies online was informed by the students themselves.

“We surveyed our graduating seniors, and the overwhelming response was that they did not want to have a virtual commencement,” stated Macpherson. “We will hold an in-person ceremony for them sometime over the next year when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we’re hosting a virtual senior class toast as a way to celebrate our seniors,” she added.

Community members thanked essential workers at the Brockport’s Big Trucks event!

Its seniors are not the only ones for whom the college is going above and beyond during these uncertain times. “We created the Golden Eagle Opportunity Fund to raise money for students in need,” said MacPherson.

“To date, we have distributed nearly $35,000 to these students.” The college is also loaning laptops to students when necessary, accommodating the just under 40 students who were unable to return home and rallying to provide for another group: study abroad students.

The College at Brockport was also called upon early in the crisis to host study abroad students in precautionary quarantine, a big challenge they embraced. “When asked to help, we said yes, and got to work immediately,” Macpherson recalled. The college had about a day and half to prepare Gordon Hall, an empty residence slated for renovation, to house these students, bringing in furniture, toiletries, linens, refrigerators, microwaves, and more.

When the students arrived, the new challenges they brought were met with incredible response by the college and surrounding communities. “We had to devise quarantine protocols – including how to monitor health and feed these students,” said MacPherson. The community support that these students received was outstanding, from dropping off requested items that students had asked for to singing happy birthday to one of the students. “I was touched and moved by our community’s generosity and spirit, and it makes me proud and honored to be part of this area,” Macpherson shared. “We received many heartfelt messages of gratitude from students after they left.”

The College at Brockport also supports its surrounding communities. “As a state institution, we feel compelled to serve the public good,” affirmed

Macpherson. “We are a college engaged with community, and one of the goals of our strategic plan, which is Building a Better Brockport.

We were able to donate a lot of PPE as a result of our commitment to public health.

Our experts are also working closely with the county and volunteering as needed.”

Additionally, the college partnered with the Village of Brockport, the Town of Sweden and the Brockport School district to collect and donate hundreds of masks, and it partnered with Foodlink to host a food-pickup. It also SUNY College at Brockport President, hosted a social distancing Heidi Macpherson event, entitled, “Brockport’s Big Trucks,” which provided hundreds of families with a safe way to get out of the house. “The smiles on children’s faces were incredible,” Macpherson reflected. “We have heard so much gratitude from our community for putting the event together. I can’t think of a better way to show our support for our community than to assist where we are able to.”

As for the future of classes and campus life, things are still unclear. “We have created a Bringing Brockport Back committee to help determine what we will look like come fall,” explained Macpherson. “We are thinking creatively, flexibly and strategically, but it won’t be business as usual as we protect the health and safety of our community.”

The college has identified three primary, possible scenarios: near normal with protocols around face coverings, frequent handwashing, increased disinfectant cleaning and social distancing; starting the semester online and then bringing students back to campus partway through; and preparing for the entire semester to be online. “Our planning is in conjunction with SUNY, New York State, and county health officials, and we will communicate with our students, faculty and staff when we know more,” stated Macpherson, adding, “The workplaces of the future may increasingly be in an online environment.”

SENIOR NEWS LINE

6 ways to prevent falls around the house

By Matilda Charles

Help Fill the Hours With an E-Reader

Despite all of the potential hazards around a house - from electrical issues to fire hazards to carbon monoxide - the National Home Security Alliance says that falls are the leading cause of death due to home accidents.

Falls are responsible for one-third of all home-related fatalities. Although seniors are the group most affected by falls, these types of accidents can affect anyone.

A broken bone may be a minor inconvenience for young people, but fractures are more serious for the elderly. As a result, seniors must take measures to protect themselves against falls. These steps can minimize risk at home.

1. Remove tripping hazards. Examine rooms and hallways for potential hazards, such as slippery throw rugs, floorboards that stick up, loose carpeting, or furniture that blocks walking paths. Remedy these hazards as soon as possible. Address loose floorboards and/or place nonslip materials beneath rugs.

2. Install grab bars or railings. Install grab bars in certain locations for extra stability or where someone may need leverage getting up from a seated position. They are particularly helpful near toilets and bathtubs and in stairways and hallways.

3. Stick to sensible shoes. Sensible shoes fit properly and have sturdy, nonskid soles. Avoid walking around in slippers or even in stocking feet, which are much more slippery.

4. Store items within reach. Store items that are used frequently, such as dishes, in easily accessible cabinets and other locations. This prevents having to climb or reach for them.

5. Install more lighting. Poor visibility can contribute to falls. Lighting in hallways, stairways, bathrooms, and bedrooms - even if it is a small night light - can be enough to light the way.

6. Reinforce your home’s exterior. Falls do not only occur inside. Inspect the perimeter of a property for uneven turf, holes or cracked or uneven patches of walkways. Make sure lighting is working at entryways, and check that exterior handrails are secure.

Falls can cause serious injury or death, particularly for aging men and women. Simple fixes around the house can make things more secure and reduce the risk for falls. TF206001 GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

I don't often recommend specific products in this column, but there's one that many of us could use right now: a Kindle.

The Kindle is a handheld reading device, also called an e-reader, that holds thousands of books. Books can be downloaded into a Kindle -- both books you buy (or read for free) from Amazon, and free books from your local library. With Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, for $9.99 a month, you can read as many books as you like, or many books are $2.99 or less.

For the device itself, consider the Kindle Paperwhite. Go to Amazon and read the reviews, questions and technical specs, such as WiFi versus WiFi+Cellular Connectivity, audio capability and storage size.

If you already have a tablet, you can read e-books as well. You'll need an app, available for free on Amazon, if that's where you're going to order books. In the search box on Amazon, type in Kindle app.

The biggest difference between reading on a tablet and reading on a Kindle is this: The Kindle has one purpose, which is reading. The screen doesn't have a glare (unlike the shiny glass on a tablet), and you can easily increase the size of the type font.

If you want to download free books from your library, either onto a Kindle or a tablet, you can likely get help if you need it. Many libraries are technically closed now (the public can't go in), but staff are still there, some of them specifically to offer technical help. Call to ask for the specific e-reader app they use.

Last week I gave you a puzzle to solve and promised the answer: What is the next letter in this sequence? O T T F F S S __ Answer: E ... as in One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight.

Discover The Human Touch In Hearing Technology

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Joint Pain Not Usual Statin Side Effect ---

Lakeville 3513 Thomas Dr., Suite 2 Henrietta

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old white male. I take one 20-mg pravastatin per day to manage my cholesterol. One of the side effects is joint pain. Are you aware of a substitute that does not have this joint pain side effect? -- H.L. ANSWER: Statins are one of the most common medicines used, and although they have relatively few side effects, so many people take them that there are many reported untoward effects.

Muscle aches are common. Muscle breakdown is serious and, fortunately, rare. But joint aches are not a common side effect. In the package insert, “arthritis” is listed in less than 1% of people.

Of all the statins, pravastatin tends to have relatively few side effects. It is metabolized differently from how the others are, so have a discussion with your doctor about taking a different statin, such as atorvastatin (Lipitor). Lipitor is much more potent than pravastatin (Pravachol), so the dose you will need is likely to be much lower. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: What is your opinion on screening for ovarian cancer in a woman with a family history (in my case, a sister)? One gynecologist stressed an annual ultrasound, while the other discouraged me from doing so. I am worried that if I wait until symptoms develop, the cancer might be pretty advanced.

-- W. ANSWER: I really understand why people with increased risk for ovarian cancer are interested in screening. Unfortunately, we still don’t have any screening tests, such as an ultrasound or CA-125 blood test, that are good enough to recommend yet. I hope this changes soon. Promising work is progressing.

Consider genetic testing for a familial cancer syndrome, such as BRCA or Lynch syndrome. People with one of these cancer syndromes are at high enough risk that screening may be of benefit, and there are ongoing studies to help identify the best strategy. Speak to your gynecologist about a referral to a genetic counselor. If you test negative for these genetic syndromes, you are at lower risk (but unfortunately, even low-risk women still may get ovarian cancer).

You certainly should be vigilant for even mild symptoms of ovarian cancer; these are nonspecific and may include abdominal discomfort, bloating or swelling. Urinary urgency (a sense of needing to get to the bathroom right away) also should prompt a visit to your gynecologist, more so than in people without a family history. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Is it possible that when immersed in water, you absorb it through your skin? Whenever I spend more than 30 minutes in the pool, I later have to urinate more than when I don’t spend time in the water. Can the absorbed water travel to kidneys?

Can the chemicals added to pool water do some damage? -- E.M. ANSWER: Water is not absorbed to any appreciable effect when the body is immersed. The reason you urinate more may be due to unnoticed swallowing of pool water, which is very common in swimmers.

Don’t worry about the chlorine in pool water. The amount of chlorine is similar to or only a bit higher than most tap water, and is not enough to be dangerous. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

THE EFFECTS OF STRESS ON YOUR BODY Mental side effects Stress can have an adverse effect on mood and has even been linked to depression, which the World Health Organization reports is the leading cause of disability across the globe. People suffering from stress also may experience anxiety, restlessness and feelings of being overwhelmed.

In addition, stress can compromise a person’s ability to focus, adversely affecting a person’s ability to complete their work-related tasks. That’s not insignificant, as 61 percent of respondents in the 2017 “Stress in America” survey reported that work was a significant source of their stress.

WE ARE OPEN!

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increase age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

Thank you to local school districts for working tirelessly seven days a week to provide learning activities and support to children and parents. The decision to keep our kids out of school has caused tremendous sadness for teachers. We hoped NYS would allow us to finish our school year face-to-face in class with our kids. Teachers are putting extended time into preparing lessons, creating activities that can connect to curriculum, attending virtual meetings with staff, training themselves on the digital environment, volunteering to pass out food and supplies

so judgmental. Also, to the person complaining about people going out in public, you are out in public as well.

You should not be so judgmental about a person that needs to go to work. They might not have the luxury of being able to stay home.

Filing for unemployment is not an option now because of all the people who are out of work. They may have a family they need to feed, a house to pay for, bills to keep the gas and electricity on. People are becoming so nasty anymore. If someone must work, then that is what they must do, if someone must go to the store, do not be rude about what they are buying.

There are so many reasons why, and maybe you should not be GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

for families and calling to check in on their students. Thank you teachers! This is not your preferred method of educating our kids, and you should be appreciated for going above and beyond to meet this challenge!

I want to thank the Farmington TOPS for their above and beyond efforts for maintaining COVID-19 precautions and sanitizing. They wipe down every cart after use and have areas for cleaned carts.

They wash the carts after they are brought back inside. This is time consuming and a lot of work. There is tape on the floor at registers to help give people the 6ft distancing. Isles and spaces are much more open. They have some dedicated shopping hours for seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Like many other stores, they close early have to

work, March 15th. I am selfemployed and have no income.

I cannot work under new Pause order. Also, I have preexisting health issues that prevent me from taking an essential worker job. After many calls to complete an application, I received a call on April 17th. It took 20 minutes for the lady to say that I am approved, and I will get money in a few days, but I must recertify by Sunday. I did so only to be told I cannot recertify because my application is not complete, and that I must call the other number. I have called many times so far and have been hung up on each time after the systems says to hold. If it were not for food pantries, I think a lot of New Yorkers would starve to death! Each day that passes is one day closer to my company going bankrupt.

Shame on you. People put a lot of time and love into the one spot they can go and visit their loved one. If it ever happened to you, how would feel? The grave sites of loved ones are so private and personal to whoever visits, and to think someone would destroy their love and hard work is sad and unbelievable. It is against the law, and you can only hope that no one saw you and will not go to the police with the information. With all that is going on in the world right now, we have people like you doing more destruction to this world in just another way.

the store cleaned and stocked.

Thank You for your work to help all in fighting this pandemic!

A big Heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in Erin’s 18th birthday car parade on May 3rd. It was an awesome event. In her words, “Best Birthday Ever...Here Come the happy tears!” Erin has Down Syndrome, and all you wonderful people who came out made her day extra special during these difficult times. Special Thanks to Dawn and John who arranged this spectacular event!

Be safe and well, The Hurley Family

Many thanks for checking on me and bagging my groceries in the Geneseo Aldi’s parking lot after I was having trouble breathing from wearing a mask in the store.

The ER patients are lucky to have a caring nurse like you!

In a time when a pandemic is really bringing out the worst in people, I have noticed one thing at least, which gives everyone a little more enjoyment: more rants!

Heartwarming, feel-good positive vibes are nice, but let us face it: the rants are what we all really enjoy. All the media-fueled pandemic panic has turned most people into toilet paper hoarding, OCD busybodies with an irrational fear of grocery stores and an insatiable need to complain, which makes for an invigorating “rants” section. So, thank you, ranters, for putting your annoyance to such good use! Stay home; stay safe.

To the person who killed my loving and friendly cat on [local road] on April 29th and left him to die on the side of the road, how cruel of you! I am devastated. I hope you were not texting.

Memorial Day Chicken BBQ - The American Legion Post 294 will be holding a DRIVE-THRU TAKEOUT CHICKEN BBQ on MONDAY, MAY 25TH from 1-3 PM at the Avon Veterans Hall. Menu: 1/2 chicken, baked beans, macaroni salad, roll & butter. Cost: $10.

SCOTTSVILLE

Vegetable oil spray lb. walnut halves & pieces lb. dried figs, stems removed, quartered cup all-purpose flour teaspoon baking powder teaspoon fine sea salt cup sugar large eggs, lightly beaten teaspoon vanilla extract cup diced candied orange peel cup walnut brandy

Preheat the oven to 225 F. Coat the inside of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the vegetable oil spray; set aside. Toss the walnuts and figs in a large mixing bowl; set aside.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Toss 3 tablespoons of the dry ingredients with the nuts and fruit to coat.

Adds the eggs and vanilla to the remaining dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon to form a smooth batter. Mix in the candied orange peel. Scrape into the nuts and fruit and toss with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.

Scrape the batter-coated nuts and fruit into the prepared pan, wet your hands with cold water, and pack the nuts and fruit firmly into the pan. Set in the oven and bake for 8 hours, until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (An instantread thermometer inserted in the center of the cake should register 215 to 225 F.) Remove the pan from the oven and spoon the brandy over the top. Cool on a rack for 30 minutes.

Run a knife around the edge to loosen, invert onto a rack, remove the pan, turn right-side up, and cool to room temperature.

Variation: You can “bake” this in a slow cooker; you will need a 11⁄2-quarter soufflé dish and a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.

Once the batter is in the soufflé dish, put it in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.

AVOID ACHES AND PAINS WHEN GARDENING

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Use ergonomic gardening tools. Ergonomic gardening tools are designed to prevent the types of aches, pains and injuries that can cut gardeners’ seasons short. Gardening injuries can affect any area of the body, but injuries or aches and pains affecting the back, wrists and hands are among the most common physical problems gardeners endure. Look for ergonomic tools that reduce the strain on these areas of the body.

Even arthritis sufferers who love to garden may find that ergonomic tools make it possible for them to spend more time in their gardens without increasing their risk for injury.

Home renovation projects can be both exciting and tricky. Do-ityourselfers are inspired by designs showcased in magazines, websites and their own communities. When DIY enthusiasts see a design they like, it’s understandable that they may want to emulate these looks at home.

Remodeling is one of the larger DIY undertakings, and it goes beyond simple carpentry. Considering demolition, reconstruction, electrical, plumbing, and masonry work may be part of the DIY package, homeowners who are thinking about renovations must first stock up on the tools and other supplies of the trade. Having the right tools can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that needs to be redone.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

One of the ways homeowners can keep their lawns looking lush and green is to aerate the turf when the need arises. Aerators perforate the soil with small holes. These holes allow air, nutrients and water to penetrate all the way to the roots, helping them grow deep and strong.

Deep, strong roots are essential to healthy, lush lawns. While aeration can help many lawns, not every lawn will necessarily need to be aerated. Lawns that get heavy use, such as those that are often played on by children or pets, will likely benefit from periodic aeration. Feeling the lawn also can help homeowners determine if it needs to be aerated. Lawns that dry out quickly or feel spongy may be overcome with thatch, which can prevent lawns from getting the air, water and nutrients they need to thrive. Lawncare professionals recommend aerating lawns that contain thatch that is more than one-half inch. Thatch also can foster grub infestations, providing another benefit to removing it and aerating a lawn.

When to aerate depends on the type of grass. Homeowners should consult with a lawncare professional about the best time to aerate their particular lawns, but it’s generally recommended that cool-season grasses be aerated in early spring or fall, while it’s best to aerate warm season grasses in late spring.

HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be a bit shaken by a friend’s request. But before the Lamb leaps to conclusions, insist on a full explanation. You still might say no, but at least you’ll know what you’re saying no to.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seeing red over those nasty remarks by someone with an ax to grind? Of course you are. So get out there and give your supporters the facts they need to get the truth out.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation should get you to reassess your vacation plans and make any adjustments as soon as possible. And don’t fret -- the change most likely will turn out for the better.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t put off dealing with any negative feelings that might be left over from a recent confrontation. The sooner all is resolved, the sooner you can move forward with fewer complications.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas might feel the urge to redecorate their dens, and that can turn into a good opportunity to strengthen family ties by putting the whole pride to work to make it happen.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Look for the most efficient way to get a job done quickly and well. Taking more time than you need to make it look more challenging is a short-sighted move you might regret later on.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A pesky problem should be dealt with immediately so you can put your time and effort into something more important.

Someone from your past could have significant news for you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A workplace situation becomes a lot more bothersome than you’d expected. Be careful not to be pulled into all that anger.

Look for support among others who also want to avoid trouble.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Cheer up, lonely lovers, wherever you are. Just when you thought you’d been deleted from Cupid’s database, the chubby cherub proves that’s just not so.

Congratulations.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A casual relationship could take a more serious turn. Are you ready for it? Your stars say you are. Paired Sea Goats also will find a renewed richness in their relationships.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Meeting a collaborator with new ideas seems to be a dream come true. But for both your sakes, be sure all your legal i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed before you start working together.

PISCES (February 19 to March 21) A romantic overture flatters the usually unflappable Fish. But since it’s a sincere from-the-heart gesture, go ahead and enjoy it. A minor health problem responds well to treatment.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have the warm heart of a Taurean and the sensitivity of a Gemini. You would make a wonderful leader. So go ahead: Run for office. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Get out of the house. Digital age networking is not limited to digital connections. Meetup.com encourages like-minded men and women to get together with real people in real life, using the internet to facilitate such connections. Men and women who sign up can use Meetup.com to connect with local professionals in their industries, attend industryspecific events and even establish their own meetup groups. A medium such as Meetup.com is great for individuals of all ages, but it might be especially valuable to established professionals looking to combine digital age networking with the more traditional networking they’re accustomed to.

Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize.

Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop time-saving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time.

Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress.

The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.
