PACKING PREP POINTERS for Campers
BIG BENEFITS OF SUMMER CAMP
Build social skills by teaching kids to act cooperatively and make friends.
Develop confidence and feelings of competency through new experiences.
Increase healthy physical activity, active play and outdoor enjoyment.
Help kids unplug from screen time and reconnect with the world around them.
Foster independence by letting kids explore and make their own choices in a safe environment.
Here are some tips to follow from the American Camp Association before packing your bags for summer camp:
• Plan ahead by “test-driving” a day living out of a backpack or suitcase.
• Review your camp’s packing lists.
• Label all clothes and belongings with your child’s name.
• Break in any new shoes or hiking boots ahead of time.
ANXIOUS CAMPER?
• Let kids participate in choosing the camp and shopping for gear.
• Focus on fun things about camp kids can look forward to, and acknowledge any concerns they have.
• Plan a sleepover or two to ease the transition to a sleepaway camp.
• Avoid communicating your own anxiety about the separation, and keep goodbyes short and positive.
• Make a communication plan based on the camp’s guidelines.
• Help kids make realistic, goal-oriented plans for making friends or specific camp activities that concern them.
The Child Mind Institute offers these tips for helping anxious kids prep to enjoy summer camp:

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE
Handle limited seats with courtesy. Many schools limit the number of seats each student can reserve for guests. This can make it tricky when there are a number of people who are worthy of an invite. Explain to friends and family who you cannot invite that you would love to have them there but are restricted by ticket allotments. Try to have both sides of the family represented. Usually an invite to the after-party will thwart any hard feelings.

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE
Stick to paper invitations. Many schools provide students with invitations, but graduates and their families can choose to buy their own. Paper invitations are more personal than digital alternatives. Paper invitations also give the impression that the ceremony will be formal.

Using Supplements To Lower Heart Risk Isn’t Backed By Evidence
DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a CT scan, and my score was 184. My cardiologist put me on 40 mg of Lipitor, which I reluctantly took for three weeks until I developed severe pain in my feet and hands. I stopped taking it, and the pain went away.
I’m a 64-year-old male in excellent shape.I’m currently taking a chelation supplement, vitamin K2 (MK-7), and red rice yeast with CoQ10. Do you have any suggestions for the treatment of my issue? -- A.D.
ANSWER: I’m sorry to say that I disagree with all of your choices. Lipitor is a reasonable choice for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes in a person at an increased risk, such as a 64-year-old man with a coronary calcium score of 184. (I can’t give a better assessment of your risk without knowing a lot more about you, such as your blood pressure and cholesterol.)
Muscle aches are not uncommon with statin drugs like Lipitor, but research has shown that in most people with muscle or joint aches who take statins, the medication is not the underlying cause. (In one study where a person didn’t know whether they were taking a statin, the symptoms disappeared. In another, a person who changed from a statin to a placebo every two months was very likely to have no more pain on the placebo than they would on the statin.)
Nonetheless, there are other statins that might not cause pain, as well as alternatives like ezetimibe and bempedoic acid, which do not increase the risk of muscle aches and have been proven to reduce heart risk.
A recent large trial on chelation using powerful intravenous infusions did not show any improvement in hospitalizations for heart disease, heart attack, stroke or death compared to a placebo. I don’t recommend an unregulated oral supplement.
STATISTICS ABOUT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
One in 12 Canadians are diagnosed with MS every day.
Although people who take menaquinone-7 (also called vitamin K2) have a lower heart disease risk than those who don’t, a randomized trial to prevent calcification of the aortic valve found no benefit. I did not find a trial showing that treating people with vitamin K2 led to a reduced heart risk.
Red yeast rice contains the same active ingredient as the statin drug lovastatin, but at such a low dose that cholesterol levels were not substantially lowered in a recent trial. CoQ10 has been repeatedly shown to be no better than a placebo at reducing statin side effects.
In addition to medication therapy, it’s important not to underestimate the effects of a healthy, plant-based diet and regular moderate exercise.
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.

Per the map accompanying that CDC article on falls, several states exceed that 25% average -- by a lot.
When it comes to deaths, falls are the number one cause of injury-related deaths among seniors,and the numbers are grim.
The reason for all the falls varies. We might have a physical condition that affects coordination. We might be taking a drug that causes dizziness. We might be wearing shoes that aren’t good for sturdy walking.

Treating pet sunburns and heat injuries
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I took my German Shepherd “Maximilian” for a walk at lunchtime today. Since we got back, he’s been limping and whining. I don’t see any debris on his paws, but the pads on his front paws feel hot. Did he burn them somehow? -- Greg B., Tampa
DEAR GREG: From his symptoms, it’s very likely that he burned his pads on a hot sidewalk or street. You’ll need to treat them quickly; first aid is straightforward for this injury.
-- Fill a shallow bowl with cold (but not icy) water. Gently submerge your dog’s paws in the water -- you may need to do one at a time and give him treats throughout the process -- for 10 to 15 minutes. (If he doesn’t tolerate the water bowl at all, wrap each paw in a cool cloth instead.)
-- Wash his paws with cool, soapy water or disinfect carefully, and pat them dry immediately.
-- Put clean socks on his paws so he doesn’t lick them, and encourage him to rest.
Check Maximilian’s paw pads every few hours. If you see any sign of broken skin, blisters or infection, or if he is still limping tomorrow, take him to the vet for further evaluation and treatment.
Burnt pads can happen very quickly in the summertime, especially in southern states. Walk dogs in the early morningbeforesunriseorjustaftersunsettominimizethis risk, or keep them on the grass and away from pavement during the day. Booties provide some protection, but can’t always stop heat transfer to paws. After each walk, check their pads and wrap in a cool cloth for a few minutes, if they feel warm.
A big thank you to all who observe and honor the handicap only parking signs. I realize the empty ones are so tempting for a quick stop, but thank you for leaving them to those facing challenges every day.
Excellent Hometown Story!
What a fantastic article in this week’s Penny Saver (Hometown Stories column about Geneseo’s Young At Heart Club), and I just want to thank [the writer]. It’s excellent and the article is a blueprint for every village in the county or your readership area of what they should be doing for their seniors. Thank you, Suzie!
To the neighbor who very immaturely shouted out of their window when my dog was barking, “Dog barking!”, maybe next time you have an issue with my dog you can come to my door and discuss it with me. Let me be clear, there are at LEAST 10 dogs within the surrounding homes, all of them bark, that’s what dogs do sometimes. I do not leave my dogs outside for hours on end, let alone 24 hours a day/365 days a year like some people, and if they are enjoying the outdoors it’s within the lawful timeframe and isn’t violating curfew. And if they do seem to be barking excessively for whatever reason, I responsibly bring them back indoors. I have a hunch on a few of you it could’ve been. Depending on which one, with the amount of screaming, yard tools and recreational vehicles, or even your own dogs barking, you have some nerve. I don’t play about my dogs. You picked the wrong neighbor to shout at.

RAISING TROUT, BUILDING CONNECTIONS:
CAL-MUM BIOLOGY STUDENTS RELEASE
CLASSROOM-RAISED TROUT INTO OATKA CREEK
BY SUZIE WELLS
Caledonia-Mumford High School biology students, led by teacher Mr. Benjamin Hoy, recently wrapped up a months-long hands-on science project with a splash by releasing classroom-raised brown trout into Oatka Creek at Scottsville’s Canawaugus Park.
The project, now in its second year under Mr. Hoy’s direction, began last October when the students received brown trout eggs from the Bath Fish Hatchery. Over the course of seven months, students were responsible for the trouts’ daily care, including feeding the fish, maintaining water quality, and closely monitoring tank conditions.
The project wasn’t without its challenges. A significant number of fish died over a school break early in the year. Thanks to the Bath Fish Hatchery, raising trout of the same age (fish hatch at a certain time every year, Hoy says), Mr. Hoy and his classes were able to receive replacements and continue the project, with added vigilance over school breaks, of course, to avoid repeat casualties.
Mr. Hoy’s biology classes took turns caring for the trout. Students rotated through specific roles—one feeding the fish, one cleaning the tank, serving as the class “ichthyologist,” or fish scientist, overseeing the health and behavior of the growing trout. Hoy says, “Students were involved every day. Everyone always checked on the fish.”
As the trout matured, the class obtained a stocking permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), allowing them to release the fish into their new home in Oatka Creek. Students were excited to watch the trout they had raised for months swim into a natural local waterway—many of them fish there regularly themselves. Hoy says, “Seeing the students pick up the fish and toss them into the creek—it was awesome to see the culmination of all their hard work.”
After the release, the class celebrated at the Scottsville Diner, and Hoy sends heartfelt appreciation for the staff there, raving, “The Diner did an amazing job dealing with 40 excited students after the trout release.”
“Seeing the students pickupthefishand toss them into the creek—it wasawesome to see the culmination of all their hardwork.”
MR. HOY
Students Kaelan Taschner and Christian Backus played key roles in keeping the tank in good condition throughout the project. Hoy explains, “Kaelan was all in on the fish. He has huge tanks at home and knew more about raising fish than I did. He even brought in a large piece of driftwood from the creek, which helped improve water quality by absorbing certain chemicals.” Christian was equally essential, often taking responsibility for water changes and ensuring the tank’s delicate ecosystem remained stable.
about tigers and lions and great animals out in the world, but connecting with the local animals and ecosystems is important. It’s important to know what the native ecosystems of your town are.”
That local connection is especially meaningful in a community like Caledonia, which is home to the historic Seth Green fish hatchery—the first in the Western Hemisphere— and which hosts an annual Trout Festival each spring to celebrate the heritage. Hoy says,
Mr. Hoy, who holds a Bachelor’s in Environmental Science from SUNY Brockport and a Master’s in Science Education from Buffalo State, didn’t always plan to be a science teacher. A former journalism major who once dreamed of writing for National Geographic, Hoy was drawn to environmental science and working with kids during summer camp. He’s now finishing his fourth year teaching at Caledonia-Mumford. When a former teacher at Cal-Mum retired and left behind a classroom fish tank, Hoy naturally took over the project.
Hoy believes the trout-raising experience makes biology more relevant and personal, saying, “A lot of times, bio classes teach students

“Waterways, fishing, and fish conservation are so important to this community. I can tell by the students fishing and how much it’s part of their lives. It’s just part of the community here.”
As the biology students return to textbooks and labs, they carry with them a deeper appreciation for their local environment—and a lasting memory of watching the fish they raised swim off into the current.

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.

Broadening one’s horizons through crafting can be a worthwhile pursuit. Crafting can serve as a relaxing pastime and provide an opportunity to learn rewarding skills. Learning to crochet is one way for men and women to combine creativity and practicality. Crochet is a form of handwork using yarn and a crochet hook. According to the Crochet Guild of America, there’s no way to know just how old the art of crochet is. However, crochet expert Annie Potter has said the modern form of the art originated in the 16th century, primarily in France and England. Others surmise crocheting traces its origins to Arabia before it spread westward through various Mediterranean trade routes.
