Since 1968

* On Aug. 9, 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s classic “Walden; or, A Life in the Woods” is published. The book is Walden’s account of his experimental time of simple living in a cabin at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, starting in 1845. The book sold just 300 copies a year when it was published.

* On Aug. 11, 1921, author Alex Haley is born in Ithaca, New York. His novel “Roots” (1976) was a fictionalized account of his family’s history, traced through seven generations. It won a special Pulitzer Prize.

* On Aug. 12, 1964, Charlie Wilson, part of the gang who pulled off the 1963 Great Train Robbery, one of the biggest heists of its kind, escapes from the maximum-security Winson Green Prison in Birmingham, England. Wilson remained on the loose until 1968.

HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE

Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy and which to avoid. Nutrition is not always foremost on the minds of college freshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

I hear garlic is easy to grow around here. Do you have any tips for success?

Those who grow ‘their own’ know that homegrown produce tastes better than those bought at supermarket. This is also true for garlic! Garlic is one of the easiest vegetables to grow if a few critical requirements such as good soil, sufficient moisture, and correct planting and harvesting time are met.

This year’s spring was dry and irrigating the garlic helped greatly to keep it healthy while sizing up the bulbs. The leaf mold mulch we used kept the moisture in until the rains began in June. Coming July, it’s time to harvest your garlic crop!

There are two main types of garlic:

by:

hardneck and softneck. Hardnecks form fewer but bigger cloves located around a hard central stem. The stem develops a curling top called a scape. Softneck garlic forms a higher number of cloves, the bigger ones are on the outside and smaller ones on the inside of the bulb. Softnecks tend to mature a week earlier than hardnecks. If you are growing Softneck Garlic, you need to look and see that at least 50% of it has fallen over and is laying on the ground. Then you know that your softneck garlic is ready to harvest.

Hardneck is usually ready in mid–July. Pull a few plants every few days and cut

a cross section of the bulb. Once you see space forming between the cloves and the central stem, your garlic is ready for harvest.

Harvest by prying up the entire plant with a garden fork or shovel. Don’t shake or bang against the ground, instead, remove the soil by rubbing it off gently with your fingers. Let the bulbs dry off thoroughly in a single layer in the sun on the ground for a couple of days. Hang

or lay them down on shelves, window screens etc. with a good air flow to dry. Clean off when fully dry 2-3 weeks after harvest. This is also time to cut the roots. Keep your garlic in a low humidity, wellventilated location with a temperature of 60 to 65*F.

CCE’s Agriculture Program offers a garlic growing class.Stay tuned for updates coming out soon at https://monroe.cce.cornell.edu/ events.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIMITED SPACE

Put paint to work. Paint is another way to make the most of a limited space. Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing. The result is a room that feels calm and open, even if there is less space to move around than homeowners might have grown accustomed to in their larger homes.

CARE FOR TOOLS PROPERLY

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

DID YOU KNOW?

Prospective real estate investors who hope to buy, hold and rent out their investment properties should first interview potential property managers before buying homes. While it’s possible to find property managers willing to manage single-family homes or duplexes, the financial resource Bankrate.com notes that many property managers prefer to manage large apartment complexes instead. Managing properties is hard work, and without skilled property managers on their side, real estate investors may become overwhelmed by the responsibilities of taking care of their real estate investments while simultaneously trying to maintain their own residences. Before buying investment properties, prospective real estate investors should interview various local property managers or property management firms, inquiring about their fees and what is included in those fees. If the cost of hiring property managers drastically cuts into the profits investors hoped to make off their investment properties, they might be better off looking to invest their money in areas other than real estate. Prospective investors can compare the potential return on investment after the cost of property managers has been factored in to the return they might get from more traditional investments to determine if investing in real estate is a sound financial decision.

CREATE A SALE-WORTHY SHOWPLACE

The sentiment “don’t judge a book by its cover” can be applied to many situations. When it comes to selling their homes, homeowners should remember this adage as they prepare their homes for prospective buyers. Homeowners who want to make their properties stand out can take the following steps.

De-personalize the home. Homeownersfilltheirspaceswithfamily photos, heirlooms, personal interests, and other conversation pieces. Prospective buyers may not be able to see past personal belongings and may even be distracted by them. For example, buyers who have strong beliefs about animal welfare may not buy a home displaying hunting trophies. Remove personalized items where possible, replacing them with generic items.

Improve the exterior. HGTV says that curb appeal is crucial to making a strong first impression. A messy or lackluster landscape can turn buyers away even before they reach the front door. Mow the lawn and make sure shrubbery has been trimmed. Seasonal potted flowers and plants can help make the house look polished. Repair cracks or damaged walkways, and consider a fresh coat of paint on trim around windows and doors. Pressure-wash siding if necessary.

Put things in storage. Rent a storage unit to house items that can make a home appear cluttered. Clean out closets and cabinets, so that when buyers “snoop” during appointments or open houses they see orderly storage areas. If closets are brimming with stuff, buyers may assume the house doesn’t have enough storage space and move on. Make it light and bright. Open up all of the drapes and blinds, and turn on overhead lights so the house is well-lit. Add table lamps or other fixtures to especially dim rooms.

Create a hotel experience. Forbes suggests making bathrooms look like a spa. Stack a few pretty washcloths tied with ribbon, add some scented candles and faux plants and buy bathmats and towels in coordinating tones.

Remove extraneous items from kitchen counters and replace them with vases of flowers. In addition, set up dining spaces as if one were sitting down to a meal, and ensure appliances are sparkling clean.

Use common ‘scents.’ Skip the fish, bacon or other aromatic meals for a few days, as such foods can leave lingering aromas. Baked goods, vanilla and cinnamon might make for more appealing scents.

Making a home sell fast involves preparation and the knowledge that buyers are often greatly influenced by their first impressions.

Here’s a tip

My father taught me all I know about working the grill -- even though it was his job! One tip that’s served me best is this simple beauty: Let the meat sear before you move it. Give it a chance to cook on one side well enough that it li s away from the grill. If it’s sticking, you probably need to leave it alone! Happy grilling.

“Kitchen stores sell grill brushes, but they can be expensive. I use a good-quality paintbrush from the hardware store for grilling only, and replace it a couple of times throughout grilling season. I nd it to be a better brush, and less expensive to boot!” -- B.F. in Illinois

Your grilled meats will be more moist and taste better if you let them rest for a few minutes a er you take them o the grill. It allows the meat to redistribute the natural juices. If you are worried about temperature, just cover the meat with foil.

Help Reduce Animal Overpopulation

One of the easiest ways to prevent pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter animals. Cats can reproduce at very fast rates. According to the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team of Central Oregon, two uncontrolled breeding cats can create the following situation if they have two litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter: 12 cats in the first year, 66 cats in the second year, and 2,201 cats in the third year. Cats reach puberty between 4 and 12 months of age. Female cats reproduce between January and September, and might come back into “heat” every 14 to 21 days until they have bred or daylight decreases considerably. Cats can give birth 60 days after they have bred.

How to protect your pets from extreme heat

Don’t leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach dangerous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. The HSUSnotesthatonan85-degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 102 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfortablyairconditionedroom where they won’t be vulnerable torisingtemperatures.

DID YOU KNOW?

Dogs are wildly popular pets. The American Pet Products Association says there are 63.4 million households in the United States that have a dog, and with the exception of 2002 and 2015, that number has steadily risen since 2000. Certain breeds remain especially popular among dog owners. In August 2021, the pet insurance provider Trupanion released the most popular dog breeds of 2020, and the top five breeds were:

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Cat’s frequent vomiting a cause for concern

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 10-year-old shorthaired cat Vic has always had a sensitive stomach. About once a week, he would vomit right a er eating. However, in the past couple of weeks, he has vomited every other day, at least. I feed him a canned food for senior pets along with a handful of dry kibble each day. Changing the type of food doesn’t seem to help. Is it time to call the vet? --

Carolyn K., Gatlinburg, Tennessee

DEAR CAROLYN: I think your instinct is right on. A sudden change in a pet’s daily patterns o en indicates that something is going on. Contact the veterinarian, who will schedule Vic for an exam within a couple of days. ey will look for possible signs of illness or injury.

It’s possible that nothing will turn up on the exam. at’s good, because it rules out more serious issues. But the vet will have you be more observant than usual and look for additional symptoms like lethargy, insistent meowing or continued frequent vomiting. ey’ll also have you monitor his water intake to make sure he’s not getting dehydrated.

ey will also probably recommend an entirely di erent brand of wet cat food, or even a prescription food on a temporary basis. is ensures that Vic continues getting the nutrition a senior cat needs.

ink about any changes to Vic’s environment that took place recently. Did you bring a new pet into the home, or a new person? Was a room redecorated? Did you travel for a few days? Anxiety can cause noticeable changes in a pet’s behavior. Also, were any potential toxins introduced, such as a pest control treatment or a new carpet installation? Write down any possibilities.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Heart Attacks Occur After Treatment of Infections

DEAR DR. ROACH: My mom had a throat and palate infection that was treated in 2017, and about two weeks later, she had a heart attack. In 2023, she had pneumonia, and was briefly hospitalized and treated, but again about two weeks later, she had another heart attack. We asked her cardiologist if there is a relationship between either the infections themselves or the treatment of infections and heart attacks, but he was not aware of any. This seems too unlikely to be a coincidence. What is your experience on this? -- A.C.S.

ANSWER: A heart attack happens when the demand for blood from the heart is greater than the ability of the blood vessels can provide. In practice, this almost always means that there are blockages in the blood vessels. However, an increase in the workload of the heart, such as strenuous exercise or an infection (fever tends to increase heart rate, and the blood flow from the heart usually increases with serious infection), can be what leads a person to have a heart attack. It’s possible that this is what happened with your mom. The timing of two weeks after the event is longer than expected, but it’s possible. Whether from chronic infection or inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the blood increases the risk of heart disease in the long term, so if there is a connection, and it’s not just coincidental, that would be the most likely cause.

***

DEAR DR. ROACH: You wrote about the dangers of testosterone replacement in men over 70 in your column a few months ago. Could you please describe the dangers of this again?

My husband is 73 and injects testosterone every 10 days or so. He’s not feeling too well overall, but he doesn’t know why. He’s been to the cardiologist, but the studies came back fine. He says he feels nerves in his stomach and a bit of shortness of breath. He’s also tired and without much energy. -- E.D. ANSWER: There are clear dangers with excess testosterone use, especially in older men. Some men use very high doses of testosterone or other androgens for muscle building, and this can cause heart damage, blood clots and stroke. I strongly do not recommend doing this, but it is generally used illicitly. By contrast, for men in whom testosterone therapy is given appropriately, the dangers are quite small, and in most men, the benefits outweigh the risks. Men should have a clear reason to receive testosterone therapy, such as having low bone density, low libido, loss of body hair, or development of breast tissue, in addition to repeatedly low testosterone levels (including a level taken between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. when testosterone levels are highest). In these men, the goal is to stabilize the testosterone level, and the risks of the catastrophic outcomes listed above appear to be very small, or even zero. Testosterone levels should also be measured during therapy. I can’t speculate on the cause behind your husband’s symptoms. Nonspecific symptoms, such as low energy, can be caused by low testosterone, but unless there are more specific symptoms of low testosterone, I generally do not recommend testosterone replacement.

***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

HOW TO OVERCOME WORKOUT FATIGUE

Use proper form when exercising. Improper form can lead to injury and/or muscle fatigue. Men and women who cannot adhere to proper form when working out may need to reduce the amount of weight they’re lifting. As activities are performed using proper form, people may find they’re building muscle without growing fatigued. As workouts progress, weight can be added.

DID YOU KNOW?

The World Health Organization notes that childhood obesity rates are on the rise across the globe, but things may be improving in the United States. According to the WHO, as of 2014, an estimated 41 million children under the age of five were overweight or obese. But while childhood obesity is on the rise in Asia and Africa, the U.S. has made strides in its efforts to curb childhood obesity. In 2004, 13.9 percent of children in the United States qualified as obese. By 2012, the figure had dropped to 8.4 percent. That’s welcome news in the U.S., as the WHO notes that children who are obese are likely to remain obese as adults, increasing their risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and asthma. There also are economic incentives to reducing childhood obesity, as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation notes that the tab for America’s obesity epidemic is roughly $117 billion per year. Those costs include lost productivity at work and the medical expenses that can be directly linked to obesity.

National Play Outside Day

BY MARY MAGER

National Play Outside Day is the rst Saturday each month. e next one is Saturday, August 5th. What is National Play Outside Day? On the rst Saturday, everybody in the nation plays outside, packing away cellphones and electronic devices. Put social media on pause and go outside and play, leaving monotony, work, and stress behind you.

Mother Nature is waiting for you and is eager to open her treasure chest of beauty, adventure, and exploration. is is the perfect opportunity to branch out to nearby trails, attractions, and recreational fun. ere is no limit to the resources near you. Get ready to stimulate your imagination!

Movingfromasedentarytoanactivelifestyleprovidesmanyhealth bene ts. As we move from the modern world of overstimulation, noise, pollution, and indoor air (which has been proven to retain a higher concentration of viruses as compared with outdoor air), our mental clarity resets and our immune function boosts tremendously. Camping in an open space, away from urban distractions, is a great way to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. And…let’s not forget about sunlight, which helps your body produce Vitamin D and positively a ects your circadian rhythm, acting as a protective agent in reducing depression symptoms. With increased outdoor exercise, fresh oxygen pumps to our brains and limbs.

To clear the brain fog, I like to check out Fairport’s Lollypop Farm Trail, a less than mile loop trail with pretty wild owers, nearby Lollypop Farm, part of the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, where they provide compassionate care for all animals. Check out their exciting programs for animal lovers of all ages, such as Pet First Aid and CPR, a very helpful lesson in providing rst aid measures to pets until you can get to the vet. Or check out the Egypt Park Playground, frequently visited by parents with young children. Down the road in Macedon you can also access the RS&E Trolley Trail for a more energetic experience. e total length is 8.8 miles. Many bird watchers and hikers love this place, and it is very popular with cross country skiers. Additional resources include Victor Hiking Trails, Inc. and Crescent Trail Hiking.

When the temperature soars, head to Durand Eastman Beach on Lake Ontario for a dip. Located on Lakeshore Boulevard, there are also picnic areas and trails. If you’re ready to be immersed in woodlands, wetlands, and stream crossings, the scenic Erie Canal Trail is a must. Whether on bike or on foot, this picturesque pathway will not disappoint! Eateries along the canal o er tasty options and a chance to unwind.

Perhapsdiscoveranew-to-youpark.OneofMonroeCountyParks’ best kept secrets, Oatka Creek park in Wheatland is touted as one of the more “strollable” in the Monroe County Park system on its beautiful 3.3 mile loop trail, perfect for observing wild owers and birds and insects that surround you. Stop in to the park for a quiet nature retreat.

Check out Brockport’s incredible Alpine Adventure Zone Natural Playground on the eastern side of Northampton Park. Or perhaps bike, walk, or run through the “Lightning Tree” aka “ e Tree of Life” at Genesee Valley Park in Rochester. From the Genesee Valley Park, you can also launch a kayak to explore the Erie Canal or Genesee River. Check out the 14-acre Centennial Park in Batavia, with its weekly summer concerts and famous sledding spots in winter.

We are truly blessed with natural refuges in the Rochester area. Whatever you decide to do this Play Outside Day, make outdoor time a priority, a good habit to nurture. Some people prefer the solitude of outdoor time to re ect on life and restore balance. Others look at outdoor time as a more social experience to encourage positive interactions. Whichever your preference, experience nature at its nest. Most important is to establish healthy habits to improve the quality of life.

Thank you to two Good Samaritans

A huge thank you to two separate men who each helped an elderly gentlemen climb down from the bleachers on the two nights of the Tractor Pull at the Hemlock Fair. Each of them noticed he was having trouble and offered to help him. Special Blessings to them both.

3rd of July Fireworks

Many thanks to Dave Pietrowski and family for providing Vitale Park and the north end of the lake with an outstanding fireworks display again this 3rd of July! He contributes a portion of the donations to the Warrior Salute Program.

Kia and Hyundai Thefts

With thefts of Kias and Hyundais on the rise, what can be done to stop this? Here’s my idea; If banks can place exploding dye packets in bags of money, why can’t a similar device be placed in vehicles? Safe for the owners but explode when attempts are made to steal a vehicle. Thus the criminals can be located. Simple idea.

Only Mean People Don’t Love Dogs!

In response to the senior citizens who “really doesn’t know why people insist on bringing their dogs” to music in the park. It is because they are beloved members of the family. Just as you might bring a grandchild, others love their dogs and want to share good times with them and enrich their furry family members’ lives by including them in activities. If the presence of anyone else, human or canine, bothers you, there’s always the option of staying home. Please don’t begrudge others enjoying themselves. Live and let live… and don’t whine. Nobody likes a whiner.

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A POST-RETIREMENT JOB

Pressure-free: Regardless of what retirees did for a living prior to calling it a career, chances are they dealt with work-related stress. In fact, the American Stress Institute reports that 83 percent of workers in the United States suffer from work-related stress, while Statistics Canada reports that 62 percent of Canadian workers say work is their main source of stress. After a lifetime of confronting work-related stress, individuals who want to work in retirement should look for pressure-free opportunities. This is an important quality, as the ASI indicates that stress has been linked to increased rates of heart attack, hypertension and other disorders.

HOW TO KEEP GRILLED FOODS WARM

Place foods in the slow cooker. If the stove is not an option because other components of the meal are being baked or broiled, grilled foods can be placed in ceramic slow cookers with lids. This can potentially keep foods warm for longer periods of time than aluminum foil tents without sacrificing flavor.
