TURN YOUR YARD INTO A VACATION-WORTHY OASIS
Hang a hammock: Few things evoke feelings of relaxation better than a hammock. Fitted between two trees (or two posts if trees are sparse), a hammock is an ideal place to grab a nap or read a book.
WAYS TO REPURPOSE DRESSERS
One of the benefits to becoming a skilled do-it-yourselfer is the chance to embrace projects that can breathe new life into objects that others might designate for the trash or donation pile. Renovating such items can save money and provide an entirely different purpose for the object. After upgrading design styles or moving, there’s a good chance the average homeowner has a spare dresser or chest of drawers he or she may no longer use. Repurposing such furniture can make for an enjoyable weekend DIY project.
With a change of color, removal of drawers or a few minor modifications, dressers can be transformed in many different ways. Before discarding an old dresser, think of all the ways it can be transformed into another useful piece of furniture.
HOW TO SUPPORT STUDENTS INTERESTED IN THE ARTS
Make art a part of life at home. Americans for the Arts recommends that parents make the arts part of life at home. Participating alongside children as they sing, dance, draw, play music or pursue other arts-based interests is a great way to incorporate the arts into home life while showing kids how fun the arts can be.
FAST FACTS ABOUT THE SUN
Australia ranks near the top of the skin cancer risk list along with New Zealand. These countries are located close to the ozone layer hole over the Antarctic. In addition, during summer, the Earth’s orbit places Australia closer to the sun compared to other countries. That results in an additional solar UV intensity, according to Specialist Clinics of Australia.

The US Social Security system formally began as we know it in 1935, with precursing Civil War and company pensions to take care of aging and disabled employees. With an aging population and fewer people working to pay into the system, polls show people overwhelmingly oppose cutting SS benefits. What should be done to solve the looming crisis as funds to pay these benefits diminish?
- Raise tax rates to cover benefits
- Raise the retirement age
- Reduce benefits paid out - Reconsider the whole system

A Pilgrimage to the Abbey of the Genesee
ome places live in you long before you ever visit them. For me, the Abbey of the Genesee was one such place. Its presence was first made known to me not by a map, but by a book – omas Merton’s spiritual autobiography e Seven Storey Mountain. As a college student navigating my own questions of faith, purpose, and identity, Merton’s words served as both compass and companion. What I was converting from – and to – was never exactly clear, but his restless seeking gave voice to my own
Merton struck me as a man of profound honesty, aching to know the Truth not as a concept but as a lived reality. He wasn’t performing religion; he was embodying it. “We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves,” he once wrote,“andwearenotatpeacewithourselvesbecause we are not at peace with God.” In his struggle, I felt seen. In his silence, I felt spoken to.
Years later, I made my first trip to the Abbey of the Genesee, tucked in the hills of Piffard, just west of Geneseo. ough Merton himself spent only a short time at nearby St. Bonaventure University, the spiritual lineage feels alive here, echoing through the stillnessofthegrounds.Fromthemomentyouarrive, something ancient and tender seems to envelop you.
“Silence is not something that simply happens. Silence is something that one cultivates... it is a positive, vibrant presence.”
THOMAS MERTON
e statue of the Madonna at the entrance welcomes like an embrace; the pond glimmers with simplicity. Inside the sanctuary, monks sit in silent prayer, and you feel it – the hush, the incense, the light filtering through stained glass. A peace that passes all understanding.
e Abbey of the Genesee was founded in 1951 by monks from the Abbey of Gethsemani, where Merton spent most of his monastic life. It belongs to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, better known as Trappists. Known for their simplicity, discipline, and contemplative focus, these monks rise before dawn, devote themselves to prayer, work, and silence, and support their community largely through the now-famous Monks’ Bread, baked on the premises.
is rhythm of life – prayer, work, rest, community, service – feels like a gentle rebuke to our overstimulated, disembodied modern existence. No televisions. No computers. No frantic rush. e structure itself seems designed to heal what is so fractured in us.
As I walked the grounds, I realized the paradox: I know in my heart that this lifestyle would make my soul happy. And yet, I have never believed I could follow Merton’s booksteps into a monastery. I could not take a vow of silence or give up the world I am part of. Still, I cannot deny that this life speaks to something deep in me.
“Silence is not something that simply happens,” Merton wrote in oughts in Solitude. “Silence is something that one cultivates... it is a positive, vibrant presence.” at presence of attention, of intention, saturates the Abbey. It reminds us that silence is not withdrawal, but the presence of a higher order.
Some might say these monks are hiding from the problems of the world. But to me, they are engaging with it in the most radical of ways. ey are not escaping the darkness – they are refusing to become it. ey resist not with anger, but with rhythm. With bread. With song. With a gaze that sees the sacred in the everyday. ey show us how to live without excess, without distraction,
without the relentless noise of modern life. ey practice a kind of nonviolent spiritual resistance, one grounded in loving kindness and radical acceptance.
Merton, again, offers insight: “ e monastery is not an escape from the world. It is a place where the world is brought into focus.” at clarity, that commitment to live differently, to pray through the pain of the world rather than add to it, that is what struck me most.
And so each day, these monks sit in prayer, they are not idle. ey are resisting. Each loaf of bread they bake is a blessing. Each moment of silence is a word of peace. Merton says, “ e beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves.” In a world constantly telling us to become something else, the Abbey stands as a gentle, stable witness: here, you are already enough.
“We are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God.”

Sue DeBruyne, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology
Magic Maze
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Are screening centers worth the money?
DEAR DR. ROACH: I see screening tests advertised often. For $160, I can get screened for conditions that might cause strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, etc. My partner and I are in our early and mid60s. Should we get these done? -- K.S.
ANSWER: Sometimes screening tests make a great deal of sense; other times they don’t. It all depends on how likely it is that a person would have the condition in question. For example, screening for an aneurysm of the aorta has been proven to save lives in men between 65-75 with any history of smoking. It can also be considered in other people, especially if there is a family history of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
On the other hand, many stand-alone screening centers offer ultrasound evaluations of the carotid arteries in the neck, but expert groups such as the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommend against it in people without symptoms. They have concluded that screening for blockages of the carotid arteries in people without symptoms is more likely to result in harm than benefit. The main harm comes from false-positive ultrasounds, which must often be confirmed by an angiogram.About 1% of people get a stroke during an angiogram, which is more than the expected benefit of finding and treating blockages in a person with no symptoms. Some people would be helped by screenings, but more people are expected to be harmed.
I have also seen an unfortunate lack of timely follow-ups. I had a family member get a screening done, and shortly after he died of a heart attack, a letter came from the center saying that he should follow up with a cardiologist.
In my opinion, screening tests should be decided on by your doctor, who knows your medical history. I don’t recommend going to places that just do screening, even if the price (in money) is affordable.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 81-year-old man in fairly good health, I think, except for osteoporosis. Three years ago, I had a very weak pulse rate and was hospitalized. My wife thought I was having a stroke. The cardiologist had a pacemaker implanted, and I’ve been good since.
But two months ago, the cardiologist listened to my chest and said I had a murmur, a word I didn’t know. She also said “sinuses” and “plaque” and “valve.” She ordered an echocardiogram, which I’ve had, but don’t know the results of yet. Am I in danger? If so, how much? -- W.C.G.
Q. A.
ANSWER: By now, I hope and expect that your cardiologist will have told you not to worry. A “murmur” is just a sound that doctors can hear from the heart, which sometimes means that there is damage to one of the four valves of the heart. Guessing by the terms she used, I think your cardiologist is concerned that you may have calcium (“plaque”) in the aortic valve, which is supported by the sinuses of Valsalva in the aortic root. Calcium in the aortic valve by itself may not cause problems, but it can keep the valve from being able to open all the way -- a condition called aortic stenosis. It isn’t always easy to hear the difference between aortic valve calcification and aortic stenosis, but an echocardiogram gives a very accurate measurement of the aortic valve opening.
If you have aortic stenosis, she will discuss your options, which may include surgery if it is severe. However, if you have the more common calcification without stenosis, she will make sure that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are controlled and will likely redo the echo in a few years.

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.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Tuning out the news
Today marks seven days since I’ve watched the television news. For a news junkie, that’s a very long time. But I feel much better for having taken a break.
It can’t be good for us, either mentally or physically, to be constantly bombarded with information that causes stress and likely has a health impact in the form of higher blood pressure.
The chronic chaos shown to us on television news even impacts us socially when we don’t know anymore what the safe topics are, and sometimes we just give up and don’t talk much at all when we’re with others. Gone is the spontaneity (and the joy) we once felt, and we eventually stop socializing altogether because of the additional stress it brings when in the company of others who insist on talking about negative news topics.
The news comes at us from several directions: the computer, the television, our cellphones. Add to that the stream of breaking news alerts either on the television or notifications chiming on our phones, and we just don’t get away from it.
HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS
Do your research. Chances are business owners can find a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month. Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars, while others might be more toned down affairs that occur each week. Business owners can research local festivals, paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them. Community turnout is another significant factor to consider. Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their businesses and what they’re hoping to accomplish.
CELEBRATE your Graduate!
Before I could go cold turkey and avoid the news, I knew I’d have to keep up with weather. In my area it’s safer to know what’s coming. To stay ahead of possible bad weather I use the Weather Channel on TV and Wunderground (www.wunderground.com) on the computer.
Not that I can do this indefinitely, of course, avoiding the news. At some point I’m going to have to check back in with the rest of the world. But it’s been a relief not to be bombarded with constant chaos, hysteria, sensational crawlers on the screen and differing viewpoints about world events.
I invite you to try it for yourself, even if it’s just for a few days.You’ll feel better.

Truck Tires
Wonderful Article!
The May 23rd article about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Highland Park was excellent. Thank you for sharing it with your readers. I hope it inspires those who have never been there to visit it. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who serve in our military, especially those who paid the ultimate price with their lives.
Memorial Day ank You
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our local towns for their meaningful and moving Memorial Day tributes. Your efforts to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country remind us all of the true significance of this day.

When did we own a pickup truck? Recently, we placed old material and debris curbside for our municipal “Clean Up Day”. Upon the next day, we discovered four (4) pickup truck tires added curbside. We do not own a truck! Ugh!
Gas Prices
It seems [local town] gas stations now have the highest price per gallon than any surrounding town. I just drove around [local town], [local town], [local town] and they all have lower prices. How is this possible? I can’t possibly figure it out, what a conundrum... I wonder what NYS would have to say about this? www.featuredmedia.com
HOW TO ROAD TRIP IN AN ELECTRIC CAR
Determine the charging time of your vehicle. The automotive experts at J.D. Power note that EVs come with different types of charging systems. Level 1 are the most readily available EVs, and these come with a standard 120-volt three prong plug that’s common in modern homes in the United States. That’s convenient, but charging using a Level 1 outlet may take a significant amount of time and only provide a few miles per hour of charging.If you’re renting an EV,confirm which type of car you’re getting and emphasize to the rental agency that you prefer a car that can be charged easily and effectively. One that can be charged overnight and provide hundreds of miles of driving time after a full charge is ideal.
What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth stands for June 19, and commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. On June 19, 1865, General Order No. 3 was issued by Major General Gordon Granger at Galveston, Texas, proclaiming, “The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”
How is Juneteenth celebrated?
Juneteenth is often celebrated with cookouts, picnics, parades, family reunions, church services, concerts and other community festivities. Many people observe Juneteenth as a day of service. It’s also a time to reflect on history, recognize the wrongs of the past, build community, promote cultural awareness and focus on social justice.
Why didn’t the Emancipation Proclamation end slavery?
Although the Emancipation Proclamation declared all enslaved people in “rebellious” states legally free in 1863, it was not implemented in some southern states. The enslaved people of Texas were not effectively freed until federal troops took control of the state in 1865 and announced that enslaved people were emancipated by executive decree. This day came to be known as Juneteenth.
DID YOU KNOW?
Juneteenth was signed into law as a federal holiday by President Joe Biden on June 17, 2021. Teacher and activist Opal Lee, known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” was instrumental in this effort. The holiday is also known as Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day and Emancipation Day.

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Take charge of your to-go order: Convenience became the name of the game when ordering food during the pandemic. Curbside pickup service was offered as a safety measure, and many restaurants that never previously offered delivery or takeout started to do so to generate revenue at a time when in-person dining was limited if not disallowed. Some restaurants began offering delivery through apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, and though that may be convenient for diners, restaurants must pay a fee to utilize those apps. In lieu of ordering through a third party delivery service, consumers can take charge of their to-go orders and pick up the food themselves. That saves restaurants the delivery app surcharge, allowing them to increase net profits on the meals they sell.

Remembering the sacrifices of war dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This Memorial Day, I hope you can call attention to the sacrifices made by war dogs, who have served side by side with American troops for over 100 years, taking on missions that their human counterparts could never do so well. Many gave their lives protecting others. -- Charles B., via email
DEAR CHARLES: Absolutely. Military working dogs, often called “war dogs,” are an essential part of America’s armed forces. They provide security around the world and are trained for specialized missions like drugs and explosives detection, sentry duty, scouting, and search and rescue. Military working dogs are even part of special forces units. Over the past century, war dogs have played essential roles. In the past,German Shepherds were the primary breed used as military working dogs. Recently, the armed services have shifted to slightly smaller breeds. The Belgian Malinois is the preferred breed for military working dogs today.
Sadly, during the Vietnam War, thousands of military working dogs overseas were euthanized or abandoned when their service was done. In 2000, President Clinton signed a law that allowed war dogs to be adopted once their service was over.
More than 400 military working dogs have been killed in action since World War II. It’s estimated that they have saved over 10,000 lives. Today, a War Dog memorial stands in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, to call attention to these selfless heroes, as well as a War Dog statue outside the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
As we remember the sacrifices of American troops this Memorial Day, I hope you’ll all take a moment to remember the loyal, highly trained working dogs who gave their all to keep their comrades in arms safe from harm.

HOW WOMEN CAN KEEP THEIR CAREERS GOING FORWARD
Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.
