Tips for Keeping Kids Safe During Home Renovations
Home renovations, especially larger ones, can be risky for young children due to their natural curiosity. To keep kids safe, it’s essential to communicate with contractors about the presence of children in the home. Contractors can take extra precautions by sealing off rooms and keeping tools and debris out of reach, particularly at night. Additionally, parents should set clear boundaries by informing their children that certain areas are off-limits and explaining the reasons behind this rule to make it more effective.
Parents should also lead by example, avoiding any temptation to sneak into renovation spaces when contractors are gone. If you’re curious about the project, schedule a tour when the kids are at school or with you. At the end of each day, ask the contractor to turn off the electricity in rooms being worked on to prevent any accidental injuries. Once the renovation is complete, hiring a professional cleaning service ensures that all remnants of the project, such as nails or debris, are removed before the kids use the space. These steps can help ensure a safe environment during the renovation process.

cooling an empty home. A cool home might be the ultimate necessity during summer heat waves, but there’s no reason to cool a residence when no one is home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, operating thermostats more efficiently can help homeowners trim their cooling costs by as much as 10 percent. One way to be more efficient with thermostats is to keep the house warmer than normal when no one is home. Programmable thermostats can be set so air conditioning units turn on shortly before residents arrive home, ensuring the house is comfortable and no energy is wasted.

Sodium: Otherwise known as salt, sodium is necessary to maintain nerve and muscle health. However, many people consume too much sodium, oftentimes because of processed foods. WebMD notes that sodium intake should be limited to 2,300 milligrams or less per day. Certain people, such as those over the age of 51, African Americans or those with certain conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day.
PROTECT NATURAL BEE HABITATS
Not all bees build the wax or paper structures associated with traditional beehives. Those hives may not be readily visible even for bees that do build them. Wood-nesting bees can nest in twigs or dead trees. Bees may nest underground or use the burrows abandoned by small rodents. Before excavating or disturbing more remote areas of the yard, check to see if it is a habitat for bees. Leave some natural areas of the landscape untouched and do not remove twigs, mounds of dirt and native flowers to attract more bees.

Phantom pregnancy in dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ll bet you’ve never heard of this one before! My cousin has a female dog who has never been spayed. So she routinely will go into heat. Well, a few months ago, she started behaving funny. She didn’t want to eat, she started pacing the house and then would flop down and not want to go outside, for walks or anything. Even though she wasn’t eating much, she put on weight and her mammaries started to swell. She also started “guarding” her toys and acting aggressive if anyone tried to reach for them. I told my cousin, maybe she’s pregnant, but he insisted that she had never been around a male dog or gone unsupervised outside.
He took her to the vet because he thought she was ill. Would you believe, the vet diagnosed her with a “phantom” pregnancy? She had all the signs of being pregnant but there were no puppies. The vet gave her medication for a few weeks, and eventually she got back to her old self. What do you think about that? -- Terry P. in Albany, New York
DEAR TERRY: I have heard of this before! In unspayed females, pseudo-pregnancy, or “phantom pregnancy,” can happen after a heat cycle. It’s uncomfortable for the dog and concerning for the owner.
Treatment includes confirming the absence of a pregnancy, followed by medication to reduce anxiety and stop milk production. Hormone therapy is sometimes needed.
The best way to stop phantom pregnancy from happening again is to spay the dog after all symptoms have subsided, and it’s highly recommended. Spaying will help your cousin’s dog be far more comfortable -- she won’t go through heat cycles any longer -- and have a healthier, longer lifespan, too.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.
SOUND CONTROL KEY TO A CALM, RELAXING HOME
Inside and out, life can be loud. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world by making your home, or specific rooms within it, a calm, relaxingsanctuary.
There’s a room in every house that could benefit from greater sound control, whether it’s a home theater, music room, studio, home office, children’s play room, bathroom, mechanical, or laundry room.Insulatingproperlywillallow you to really enjoy your home that much more and achieve a higher level of comfort.
Experts suggest selecting a dense insulation with a non-directional fiber structure to combat airborne noise such as music, speech and foot traffic. This insulation material creates an excellent sound barrier that effectively absorbs noise and reduces the transfer of sound waves from one room to another. Its resistance to fire is an added benefit that also adds passive fire protection to your home, a type of fire precaution that is part of the core of the building and will help controlfirebylimitingitsspread.
Certain sound dampening measures, such as carpeting, might also help alleviate echo and reverberation, as will acoustic panels that prevent sound reflections throughout a room. With basic DIY skills, you can simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels using a stone wool rigid board which is effective at reducing the intensity andpropagationofnoise.

How to Handle Our Flag With the Care and Respect
It Deserves
Proper Folding Technique
Follow this folding technique once the United States flag is lowered from its mast or mount:
1 Begin by holding the flag at waist height between two people parallel to the ground.
2 Fold the lower striped section of the flag lengthwise, up and over the blue field of stars.
3 Fold again, bringing the folded edge up to meet the open top edge. e blue field of stars should now be visible facing outward.
4 Bring the striped corner of the bottom folded edge up and over to meet the top edge in a triangular fold.
5 Turn the outer point of the triangle inward to align with the open top edge.
Display Guidelines
• e flag should be displayed in public only from sunrise to sunset, unless it is illuminated during darkness.
• e flag should not be displayed during rain, snow and wind storms, unless it is an all-weather flag not prone to damage.
• On Memorial Day, the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon. e flag may also be flown at half-staff to honor a newly deceased federal or state government official by order of the president or governor.
6 Continue this triangular folding pattern along the entire length of the flag.
• When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the blue field should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right (the observer’s le ). e same guidelines apply to a window display: the blue field should appear on the le to observers viewing it from the street.
• e flag should never be displayed upside down, unless to convey distress or great danger.
• Dirty, ripped, wrinkled or frayed flags should not be used. An American flag that is worn or damaged beyond repair should be retired in a respectful manner.
7 If a tail remains, fold it neatly into the remaining open fold.
Disposal Etiquette
Flag Retirement Ceremonies
8 Folding is complete when the flag is in a triangular shape with only the blue field visible.
e U.S. Flag Code states that “ e flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” e American flag is an important and sacred symbol, and flag ceremonies are carried out to dispose of retired flags in a respectful manner. Burning a flag in an undignified manner constitutes desecration.
• Many state and county government offices and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) posts have flag disposal boxes outside of their buildings. Police stations also o en collect flags for disposal. American Legions, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and other organizations may collect flags as well. Ceremonies are most o en conducted on June 14, Flag Day.
• If a flag ceremony drop-off location is not available, anyone can hold a flag retirement ceremony, provided it is conducted in a respectful and dignified manner. Flags may be ceremoniously folded and burned in compliance with local and state fire codes and ordinances, or folded and buried in a wooden box. Flags made of synthetic materials that could be potentially hazardous if burned may be recycled through flag companies or various organizations.

By Keith Roach, M.D.
Learn the Available Options for Dealing With Kidney Stones &body mind
DEAR DR. ROACH: IjustfoundoutthatIhaveakidney stone. I’m 77 years old, and I don’t want to deal with it. I’ve heard of potassium citrate and pulverizing it with sound waves. Are these options? -- J.M.
ANSWER: When a person gets a kidney stone, the goals are to manage any symptoms, determine if a person’s health is at risk (especially from infection or kidney damage), and decide which treatment might be necessary to prevent any new stones. Extracorporeal sound wave lithotripsy is one way of removing symptomatic stones, as is ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.The decision of whether intervention needs to be done is made by a urologist with expertise in stone management, and treatment depends on the size, type and location of your stone(s).
Prevention of a recurrent stone depends on the specific stone type and any metabolic issue the person has. Nearly everyone with stones is recommended to increase their water intake (to a level that is adequate enough to make at least 2 liters of urine a day -- and yes, we measure it) and decrease their salt intake (to less than 2,300 mg of sodium a day).
My former professor at the University of Chicago, Dr. Fred Coe, told me that he has seen people with sodium levels in their urine exceeding 25,000 mg a day. A high sodium level strongly favors stone formation.
Potassium citrate is a good choice for people who have calcium oxalate stones (60% to 80% of stones) and low measured citrate in their 24-hour urine tests. A low-oxalate diet may also be appropriate, but you can’t make an informed decision without knowing which kind of stone you have and what your metabolism is like.
If you do pass a stone, save it; it will be useful for your doctor. There are several different types of less-common stones, so management can’t be tailored for you without this information.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to

ASSISTIVE DEVICES HELP PEOPLE REMAIN MOBILE
Disabilities affect people from all walks of life. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 55 million Americans have a disability of some kind. Of these people, 33 million have a disability that makes it difficult for them to carry out some daily activities. Statistics Canada states that, as of 2012, 13.7 percent of the population age 15 years or older reported having a disability that could impact daily life.
People with disabilities may need assistive devices to reclaim some measure of their independence. For example, millions of people rely on wheelchairs or walking aids to get around. These are called assistive technology and rehabilitative devices, which include tools, equipment or products that can help people with disabilities get around more easily. These devices may be as small as magnifying glasses for reading to as large as wheelchairs.
The National Institutes of Health state that 2.2 million people in the U.S depend on wheelchairs for day-to-day tasks and mobility. More than six million use canes, walkers or crutches to assist with mobility. Assistive devices can be highly effective, but only when they are used properly and safely. Assistive devices should be measured for each user. Many walkers are height-adjustable. The width of a device also is important. A walker or another device that is too wide can affect mobility or require modifications to be made around the home. Weight is another consideration. The device should be lightweight so it can be maneuvered, but also weigh enough to provide enough stability to keep users upright. Users should proceed slowly and favor their stronger sides when relying on canes or walkers. Devices should not be used to climb atop other items like step stools. Children should not be allowed to play with or ride on assistive devices. If there are safety belts or locks on any assistive technology, they should be put in place before use to prevent further injury.
Protect yourself against COMMON SCAMS
Imagine getting a call from someone claiming a close family member is in trouble and needs money right now. Perhaps the voice sounds like the person themself asking for help.
Or the person identifies as an IRS agent and informs you that you are criminally liable for unpaid tax debts.
Maybe it is someone who found you through an online dating or friendship website and wants to visit you in person but is having financial difficulties.
Or it’s the Social Security Administration with an identity the alert.
Maybe it’s an email or phone call offering you a can’t-miss investment opportunity.
Perhaps the caller or email congratulates you on winning a grand prize.
Perhaps a text message informs you of a package needing delivery confirmation.
Or you log into a website and a pop-up warns you that your identity has been found on the dark web and is being used for criminal purposes.
Perhaps a warning tells you your system has a virus and urges you to call a toll-free number or click a link for tech support.
Unfortunately, all these scenarios and more are becoming increasinglycommonplaceintoday’sdigitalworld.Scammersare experts at playing with your mind and preying on your emotional vulnerabilities. ey create a sense of urgency, whether over the phone, online, or through text and email. ey want you to act fast without thinking. ey use fear to scare you into believing something bad will happen if you don’t pay. ey act like they’re in charge to make you think you have to do what they say. And some promise easy money or try to make you think they are in love with you.
All are lies to manipulate you to send money, reveal personal information, or both. If you are pressured to take immediate action without thinking it over or talking with someone else, including an attorney, it is a scam.
One of the most common scams today involves the purchase of gi cards, although providing personal information such as social security numbers and dates of birth or wiring money are also prevalent. Real companies and government agencies will never ask you to pay with gi cards. Only scammers will tell you to buy a gi card and give them the numbers off the back of the card. No matter what they say, that’s a scam. If you are buying a gi card for any reason other than physically giving it to someone in real life, it is a scam.
Gi cards are like cash for scammers. It is almost impossible to track gi cards a er they have been redeemed. Once a scammer has the card’s info, they quickly turn it into money. It is also nearly impossible to get your money back, which makes gi cards the perfect tool for scammers to get away with stealing. Even if you’re careful, you might still get tricked.
If you think you’ve been scammed, act fast. e sooner you act, the better your chances of getting your money back.
If the scam involves gi cards, call the company that issued the gi card. Tell them what happened. ey might be able to freeze the card or refund your money. Look for the company’s contact number on the back of the card or online. If the scam involves wiring funds or providing personal information, contact your bank, wire service provider, or credit card issuer immediately to report the fraud and stop any further activity.
In every event, report the scam to your local police and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission at https:// reportfraud. c.gov. You may also want to contact the three major credit bureaus to place an alert on your file and freeze the opening of any new credit accounts at https://www. annualcreditreport.com/protectYourIdentity.action.
Save everything related to the scam, including e-mails, texts, receipts, and gi card numbers. Write down everything you remember about the scammer. e more evidence you have, the better, as it will help the police and the gi card company with their investigation.

Campfire Safety
87% of wildfires were caused by humans in 2019, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. You can help prevent wildfires while camping by following these safety tips from the USDA Forest Service:
DO
• Make sure your campfire is a safe distance from tents or anything that could burn.
• Create a ring around the campfire using rocks, and make sure the area surrounding the ring is cleared of leaves and debris.
• Keep pets, kids and playing a safe distance from the campfire.
• Allow the campfire to burn out into ashes whenever possible.
• Use water to drown campfire ashes, then stir and add more water until the ashes are cold.
DON’T
• Don’t start a campfire if conditions are windy.
• Don’t bury warm coals or ashes in a campfire pit.
• Don’t use flammable liquids to start a campfire.
• Don’t burn glass, cans, plastic or garbage.
• Don’t leave a burning campfire or warm ashes unattended.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
The peace of avoiding the daily news
One month ago I wrote here about having avoided the television news for seven days. During that time, I didn’t have the stress from constant bombardment and media hysteria about all the problems and chronic chaos in the world. I felt better for it, both physically and mentally, but I knew I couldn’t keep it up forever.
At some point I figured I would have to rejoin the aware population and get up-to-date on what was going on.
Except I haven’t done that yet. Here at the one-month mark I’m still not watching the news.
That one hour block of time that used to be spent in front of the television getting “educated” about what was going on in the world has been used for other things.
Here are a few things I accomplished:
I shopped for, purchased and planted colorful flowers for the porch. A few times each week I feed and play with a neighbor’s cat while the neighbor works extra hours.This saves him the cost of a pet sitter and gives me a nice break with a sweet kitty.
I restarted my free online language lessons and have made considerable progress.
That’s not to say I have no clue about what’s been going on in the world.I set my phone to silently send me a few short alerts on selected topics. I can scan those at my leisure and not even click the link to read the articles. Five seconds of looking at the alert summaries tells me all I need to know. With one finger tap, they’re gone, deleted. If you want to take a news break, give it a few days or a week to try out. Don’t be surprised if you stick with it for much longer. It can be rather peaceful.

Me and my little brother were fishing on Canandaigua Lake when I lost 2 pretty big pickerel that morning. That afternoon I went to Walmart to grab a bigger net and a few lures. . As I go to checkout the cashier tells me that her reader is down and that this register only does cash, so my whole line goes to other registers and I join a line behind the people that were behind me. As they are almost done checking out there is a big announcement over the intercom saying that all card readers are down and they are only taking cash. I ask if I can just try to tap my debit card to see if it will work but before the cashier can even say anything the couple infront of me checking out says “don’t worry, we’ll pay for it; just make sure to pay it forward.” We are very grateful for their generosity and I can’t wait to pay it forward and catch the next lake record.

Fairport ursday evening concerts here! Yea!
Perinton Concert Band played wonderfully well for our first of the season. Thank you to a large group of fine musicians whom we appreciate. That’s the Brighter side.. but perhaps the few people who stand on the sidewalk adjacent to the concert goers who TALK most of the time might consider moving away from that part of the sidewalk or, stay, stop talking and find you will enjoy and appreciate music!

Pick up your own trash
When you purchase takeout food, you are responsible for proper disposal. Why do you think it is okay to drop it in a parking area or someone’s yard? Why do you expect someone else to pick up after you? I’m tired of finding smelly packages of trash as well as cigarette butts and beer cans. Please take care of your own trash.
Bridge Closure
The bridge in [local town] is still closed. Reconstruction was originally scheduled to begin on April 3, 2023 but didn’t begin until May 15, 2023. It was originally scheduled to open in September 2024 after an 18-month closure. It is still closed and we are assured that it will open in July 2025, but don’t hold your breath on this date. If that date holds true, it will have taken 28 months or 2 years and 4 month to rebuild the bridge. In contrast, it took 1 year and 45 days to build the Empire State Building in 1930. I hope [local town] doesn’t have any more major construction projects because we are getting tired waiting for this project to end.

Protect Your Mobile Devices - and Your Identity (Family Features) Mobile devices have become an indispensable tool for many people - and the thought of losing one of those devices, or having it stolen, is disconcerting, to say the least. But it happens every day. It’s estimated that lost or stolen phones alone could cost U.S. users $30 billion in 2012.
When a phone or tablet goes missing, so does a lot of personal information. And that can lead to more than just some inconvenience - it can lead to a stolen identity.
The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. While identity thieves still resort to old-fashioned methods of information gathering, like going through trash and stealing wallets and purses, they can also get the personal information you store on your mobile device.

FACTORS THAT CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT MOOD
Hunger: A 2018 study from researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario found evidence that a change in glucose levels can have a lasting effect on mood.The study, published in the journal Psychopharmacology, found that rats injected with a glucose metabolism blocker experienced stress and depressed mood due to the resultant hypoglycemia. The study lends credence to the notion that many people have about feeling moody when they don’t eat.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term. If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.
HOW TO HOST A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS DINNER
Throughout the history of commerce, many a deal has been made at the dinner table. Business dinners are a great opportunity to lay a foundation for long, potentially lucrative professional relationships. Etiquette is important when hosting business dinners, as a breach of decorum can derail a relationship before it even begins. Professionals tasked with hosting business dinners can take the following tips to heart before sitting down to break bread with their colleagues.
Choose a restaurant that can cater to various diets. Hosting a business dinner can be similar to hosting family during the holiday season, when hosts must cater to guests with various food allergies and dietary restrictions. Asking for such information in advance of a business dinner may seem intrusive to guests, so try to find a restaurant that offers a flexible menu capable of accommodating vegetarians, vegans and guests who might be gluten-free. Avoid restaurants that specialize in styles of cuisine that might be unhealthy or so extraordinary that guests might be hesitant to order anything from the menu.
Confirm the reservation. Make the reservation well in advance of the date of the dinner, and don’t forget to confirm the reservation a week beforehand. Confirming a week beforehand gives hosts time to book another reservation should theirs have been canceled by mistake.
Arrive at the restaurant before your guests. Hosts should arrive at the restaurant before their guests so they can address any potential issues in advance of the beginning of the dinner. Arriving early gives hosts time to ensure the table set aside for their party is not in a heavily trafficked area of the restaurant, such as adjacent to the kitchen or restroom. Hosts who arrive later than their guests may also give guests the mistaken impression that they are unimportant.
Let guests order first. Once everyone has sat down at the table, hosts should allow guests to order first. Doing so saves guests who don’t want to eat that much the potential discomfort of sitting there while their hosts eat an appetizer and/or large entrée. If guests choose to abstain from alcohol, follow suit. If guests want to have a drink, hosts can limit their consumption to a single beverage.
Don’t eat too quickly or too slowly. Hosts should try to keep pace with their guests in regard to how quickly or slowly they eat. Guests might feel uncomfortable if they finish first or feel pressured to eat quickly if their hosts finish first.
Pay in advance. Business dinner guests do not expect to pay for their meals. While it’s widely accepted that hosts will pay, it can feel awkward to have the bill brought to the table. Upon arriving early, hosts can give their credit cards to the wait staff and ask that they be charged without having the bill brought to the table. If necessary, step away from the table during the meal to sign the bill and address any discrepancies.
Business dinners have sparked many successful professional relationships, oftentimes thanks to hosts who took the time to ensure the dinners went off without a hitch.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS
The vivid colors and smells emanating from farmers’ markets indicate just how fresh and nutritious the offerings tend to be. Farmers who peddle their wares at farmers’ markets adhere to careful farming methods to ensure their foods are as nutritious as possible.
(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity: Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.
Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.
Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.
