Not prepping the food: The French culinary term for preparing to cook is “mise en place.” This is especially important when grilling, as cooks must deal with faster cooking times than they would otherwise encounter when cooking meals in the stove.

HOW COLLEGE STUDENTS CAN CUT LIVING EXPENSES
Move off campus. Some schools do not permit freshmen and sophomores to live off-campus, but older students may find that private housing is more affordable than on-campus apartments or dormitories. Students eligible to live in off-campus housing can contact local real estate agents to get a feel for the off-campus housing market before making a final decision.
SENIOR NEWS LINE

Exercise videos on AARP
Here’s one more reason to keep checking back on the AARP website: the big selection of fitness offerings in the healthy living section. There are the articles, of course: complete guide to pickleball, link between sugar and cancer, ways to get an energy boost and others. But it’s the workout videos that have caught my eye.
The site (aarp.org) has videos on cardio, walking, balance, stretching, core exercises and more. The knees get a lot of much-needed attention with videos on improving knee mobility and building stronger knees. Strength training has videos on building both the upper and lower body muscles.
What I appreciated in these videos is that many of them can be done while seated or holding a chair for balance, if necessary, and none require expensive equipment. A couple of light hand weights (or even soup cans), maybe a mat for the floor, and that’s all you need.
The yoga section is comprehensive, with videos aimed at beginners who are ages 50 and 60 plus a video for those who are already 70.
But I think my favorite area is the 10-minute section for when I just don’t have time for a full workout. If you can’t make your way around the AARP site to get to the videos, do a search for “10-minute workout” to find a long list of short videos done by experts. Or search for “Denise Austin” and you’ll find dozens of exercise videos she’s created for seniors.
If you’re only going to look at one exercise article, make it “10 Exercises to Do Today for a Healthier, Happier Tomorrow.” These exercises are geared to helping us continue doing the daily things we need to accomplish: Strengthen your grocery-carrying muscles, keep your shoulder muscles limber and strong so you can put away dishes and (a favorite of many) strengthen your grip so you can open jars.

HOW TO KEEP OUTDOOR LIVING AREAS SAFE
Use an appropriate extension cord. String lights above outdoor living spaces like decks and patios can create a warm, relaxing nighttime vibe. Those lights need to be plugged in, which increases the risk for electrical accidents.When utilizing an extension cord outdoors, never use a cord designated for indoor use. Outdoor extension cords are better insulated than cords made for indoor use. That insulation provides better protection against the elements, including sunlight, changes in temperature and moisture. When using an extension cord outdoors, make sure the cord is secured and not left lying on a deck or patio where it can easily become a tripping hazard.

KEEP CRITTERS OUT OF YOUR HOUSE
Human beings are not the only creatures looking for warm and cozy spots to ride out autumn and winter. Very often wild animals see homes as the perfect spots to nest and survive the cold. Fall is a great time to inspect your home top to bottom and make sure there are no points of entry for unwanted guests. The Humane Society notes that deteriorated trim and fascia boards can make great entry points for animals like squirrels, raccoons, skunks, and possums. Other animals may bed down under porches or decks or even inside chimneys. Seal any holes or repair points that are penetrable by cold animals. Just be sure to inspect the home prior to sealing or capping any potential entry points to be certain there aren’t any animals already living inside. Otherwise you can trap unwanted animals in your home. Test possible entry points by sealing them loosely with a paper towel or insulation and see if the material gets pushed out.

Lately, we have come upon highway workers resurfacing the roadways. Please watch for and obey the flag person that is directing traffic. Why do some think they should drive around them, ignore stop signs, beep the horn, swear or even give them the finger? They are only doing their job in keeping the roads in good and safe condition for all of us. To the many highway workers in and around the area, a BIG THANK YOU for standing out there or driving a dump truck in this recent heat wave we have had. You are appreciated by many of us!
A rave to praise
Hidden treasures that lie within, long forgotten, buried deep inside behind a wall where no one has ever been. We take for granted things in this life. We put nothing in perspective, just leave it to strife! I write this rave for Hocus-Focus’ artist, Henry Boltinoff, for waking a talent that was long ago lost... drawing! Mr. Boltinoff is very talented in bringing to life his art and others’ “hidden inspiration” and love of drawing. HocusFocus has saved my life in so many ways; words cannot express my gratitude and attitude for his art. The Penny Saver is very blessed to have him as an artist and contributor to the many lives he has touched... especially mine. I enjoy the Penny Saver that much more knowing Hocus-Focus is patiently awaiting an exit from my mailbox to my kitchen table top with a sketch pad, art supplies, and determination to draw the characters of Mr. Henry Boltinoff’s Hocus-Focus. Thank you for keeping me alive and well fed with drawing.
To everyone who uses [local road in local town] the speed limit is 30mph inside the village limits. Show some respect for our children, pets, and adults by driving the posted speed limit. This is our neighborhood, not a racetrack. www.featuredmedia.com
Please, obey the speed limit!
Telephone Crimes
The disgusting behavior of phone users has really gotten out of hand. I attended an outdoor concert, and people could not just sit and listen. They had to hold their phones up to record portions of it, blocking the line of sight for everyone behind them. Some in the front row even stood up to get a wide sweeping view, and then they had to share it with their partner while still standing. I finally had to move to the open area in the rear where no one was around me so I could get an uninterrupted view.
Quiet Hours mean ‘Be Quiet!’
As much as we know that everyone loves to blare their music while driving on these lovely summer days (keyword: DAYS), we do not need to hear ‘your’ loud car stereo system past 10pm. Some of us prefer to not be woken up to our homes shaking or being shaken out of bed because you decide that the entire neighborhood needs to hear your music.

LAKE LIFE & LIFE JACKETS
From Silver Lake to Conesus, dogs love a good splash but not all are strong swimmers. If you’re boating, consider a doggie life vest. It makes retrieval easier if they fall in, and yes, they come in adorable patterns too.

HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES
How often a puppy will need to defecate depends on the food being fed and when meals are offered. The American Kennel Club says that most puppies will need to poop shortly after a meal, anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours.
Puppies typically can hold urine a little longer overnight, but probably won’t be able to go the entire night without a potty break. Many pups can last around six hours from the last time they’ve gone out. An early-morning bathroom break will be needed, or consider penning the dog with puppy pads to catch the mess until the dog gains greater control over its bladder.

Leash training 101
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently adopted a rambunctious dog who is really difficult to take for walks. “Sharpe” is just over a year old and is friendly, but big -- about 70 pounds already! How can I keep this big guy calm on the leash? -- Vance K. in Minneapolis
DEAR VANCE: Congratulations on your new dog! And kudos for prioritizing his behavior training.
The most important factor in your dog calming down on the leash is consistency, consistency, consistency. You need to work with him first thing in the morning -- during and after his morning walk -- and in the evening. Sessions can be just five minutes long.
Positive reinforcement is another factor. When Sharpe starts to associate good behavior with a positive stimulus -- a treat or extra affection -- he’ll repeat that behavior more often, and willingly.
Start in an area free of exciting distractions (a dog park full of other dogs, for example, will pull Sharpe’s attention away from you). Carry a pocket full of treats (chopped into tiny pieces so he never gets too much). Hold the leash correctly with Sharpe on your left side. If he’s standing calmly, give him a single treat. If he’s tugging and pulling away, stand still until he becomes calm -- and reward that with a treat.
Next, say “heel” calmly and step forward. The aim is to have Sharpe start walking beside you, at your pace -- not pulling ahead or diverting to sniff something. If Sharpe starts with you, treat. Then two steps forward, and if he starts with you, treat. Progress from here; most dogs start to get it after a few sessions, and you’ll eventually walk around the area multiple times with Sharpe at your side.
You will need to reinforce Sharpe’s training throughout his life, and you won’t ever regret the time you spend with him.

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN
Close some social media accounts. Social media can be a useful tool to stay connected with family, friends and the local community. But those connections can be maintained through one or two social media platforms. That’s a lesson millennials or Gen Z-ers can take to heart, as the Global Web Index indicates that the average person has 8.4 social media accounts. Closing some social media accounts can reduce the temptation to pick up a device, ultimately paving the way to more time away from tablets, smartphones and laptops.

LEAVING A JOB GRACEFULLY
Speak with your manager first. It’s respectful for your immediate manager or supervisor to learn of your departure first. This gives him or her ample time to put a plan in place to fill your position. The more notice you can give, the more goodwill you’re building on your way out the door. Schedule a meeting for this purpose; do not make it an informal chat by the water cooler. Resist the urge to quit via email or text. Resigning requires face-toface communication. Present a concise letter of resignation as well. Don’t call out colleagues or air your grievances in the letter.

WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK
Stop multitasking. Psychologists have determined that multitasking can bog down productivity. According to the American Psychological Association, the mind and brain were not designed for heavy-duty multitasking. Individuals think they’re getting more done, but they may not be handling tasks effectively. Instead, focus on one job at a time and only move on once it is completed.

Getting a COVID Booster Before a Cruise Is Prudent for Couple &body mind
FEATUREDBUSINESSES
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I will be traveling to the United Kingdom in July and will be on a ship with about 700 passengers. We are wondering whether it would be smart (or unnecessary) to get a COVID booster before the trip. We are both in our late 60s and have had all the available COVID shots. (The last one we received was on Oct. 10, 2024.)
I have mild asthma, and we both have BMIs of about 30 with no other health issues. There is so much information and misinformation on these vaccinations, so I would appreciate your educated opinion. -- O.W.I.
ANSWER: In my opinion, it would be very smart to get a COVID shot before you go, ideally at least two weeks ahead but no more than three months ahead. The vaccine takes about two weeks to work and gives its best protection for about three months.
At the time of this writing, a new strain (NB.1.8.1) is rapidly spreading in other countries and in North America. It would be very prudent for you both to get the vaccine, especially given your risk factors of being over 65, being a little overweight, and (in your case) having mild asthma.You may very well be exposed on a cruise ship, which is where some of the earliest COVID cases came from.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has recently set new requirements on who can get the vaccine, and they have done so without the input of experts -- the basic scientists, clinicians and epidemiologists who should all be giving input on vaccine policies. In short, administrators have removed your doctor’s ability to decide whether you are appropriate for the vaccine.
Since you are over 65, you and your husband should still be able to get the vaccine unless the FDA further restricts the ability to get vaccines. For others in similar situations, I recommend getting the vaccine while you still have this choice.
DR. ROACH WRITES: Quite a few readers asked me about a recent high-profile case of advanced prostate cancer -- President Joe Biden -- and how this could have happened.
I first answer with humility. I don’t know what the screening was like for President Biden. Although I have read reports that he was not being screened, I am not confident that I know enough to have an opinion on the appropriateness of the screening strategy used in his case.
Second, I answer from my knowledge on the biology of prostate cancer, which is that not all prostate cancers can be caught through screening. A PSA level can be low even with advanced cancer. Also, some prostate cancers can grow very quickly in between screenings. Both of these would be uncommon, however. Screening does reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer but does not eliminate it. Prostate cancer death rates have decreased by about half in the U.S., partly from screening and partly due to improvements in medical, radiological and surgical treatment.
Third and most importantly, I answer with compassion. Looking backward is not helpful to the person who is facing a difficult diagnosis. I wish the best for President Biden and his family, and I am confident that he will get the best care available.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
