– OBITUARIES –

† CONNER It is with the deepest sorrow and broken hearts, that our family regrets to an-

nounce the passing of Troy James Conner, husband, father, grampy, brother and friend to all. Born May 30, in 1967, he left us abruptly on Saturday April 10, 2021.

The Barbecue Man and champion has returned home to the big blue sky. His love of family, sense of humor, kind heart and sharp wit will be deeply missed.

He is preceded in death by his parents Katherine (Kay Werner) Conner and Samuel James Conner.

His parents through Sherri, Sharon Lynn Carter & C.C. Carter. As well as Devin Ayres, nephew.

He leaves behind his soul mate and love of his life Sherri Lee Conner, his daughters Sarah & Brandon Martinez, Jessa Delo & Brandon Linderman, Makayla Delo & Dillon Gentry, the grandchildren he adored Vayla Grace, Opal Mae, and Ryker James. His sister Tina & Scott Conner Wellman and brother (Sammy) Eric & Heidi Conner.

The extended family he loved and cared for was much larger and included Joe & Cindy Thompson, Don & Renee Thompson, Doug & Rachel Thompson, Aunt Lu, Devin and all the Dowsetts, Michelle Werner and the Werner family.

Along with his many nieces and nephews.

The void he leaves behind will never be filled but we will always remember the smiles he put on our faces and the wisdom he instilled in our hearts. He will be forever loved and always missed.

Please join us in a celebration of his “Extreme” life, Saturday April 24, 2021 from 2-4pm at the Ionia Fairgrounds Pavilion. If you would like to share your favorite memory of Troy James Conner, please reach out to Sherri in advance to be included.

Fun activities to enjoy this spring With its increased sunshine and warmer temperatures, spring is a beloved time of year. For those who live in areas where the weather changes dramatically throughout the year, spring can be a respite from the snow and also a chance to enjoy the outdoors prior to the arrival of the muggy, hot days of summer.

Families can create a bucket list of entertaining and perhaps educational spring activities.

Those who want to try something new can explore these ideas.

• Check out a small town. Take a road trip to an out-of-the-way hamlet. Spend the entire day there shopping, dining and supporting a small town community.

• Enjoy al fresco dining. While outdoor dining during the pandemic may have been done as a necessity, do not forget how it also can be a relaxing way to enjoy a meal. Find a restaurant with a particularly scenic backdrop and dine outdoors.

• Visit a thrift shop or flea market. Spring cleaning can serve as the catalyst for people to put items on sale. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

Spring can be a great time to shop for antiques as well.

• Go horseback riding. Enjoy the scenery on the back of a majestic mare or spectacular stallion.

Spring is a perfect season to enjoy various activities.

Create a safe, tick-free zone in your yard Despite their diminutive stature, ticks are a big concern for people, particularly those with pets.

As the weather warms, ticks are out looking for a host to climb on and get a blood meal.

Ticks are a significant concern because they can be infected with bacteria, viruses or parasites, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, and babesiosis are just a few of the many tick-borne diseases. These pathogens can be passed to

humans and pets via the bite of infected ticks.

In 2018, at least one variety of disease-transmitting tick had been found in all of the lower 48 states, according to the CDC. In

of ticks along the East Coast alone. Preventing tick bites has never been more important. The process starts right in one’s own backyard.

According to Consumer Reports and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, controlling wildlife that enters one’s yard can help keep tick numbers down. Open access means animals can enter and so can ticks. Fencing and pest management solutions may help.

Other ideas include landscaping techniques that can reduce tick populations: • Remove leaf litter from the yard.

• Clear tall grasses and brush around homes and at the edges of the lawn. Mow regularly to keep the lawn short.

• Create a barrier between wooded areas and the yard if it abuts a forested area. Ac-

cording to Consumer Reports, a three-foot-wide path of wood chips or gravel can prevent tick migration by creating a physical barrier that’s dry and sometimes too hot for ticks to tolerate.

Such a barrier also serves as a visual reminder to anyone in

your household to be especially careful if they step beyond the perimeter.

• Bag grass clippings, which can serve as habitats for ticks.

• Remove old furniture, trash and other debris that can give ticks places to hide.

• Remember to use a tick-repellent product when venturing into wooded areas. Flea and tick products also are available for pets; consult with a vet.

Ticks are problematic, but various measures can help control tick populations in a yard.

How to care for perennials Perennials can add color and vibrancy to any garden. One of the more desirable components of perennials is that they come back year after year, meaning homeowners do not have to invest in a gardenful of new flowers every year. That can add up to

considerable savings. Perennials often form the foundation of beautiful gardens.

Annuals only grow for one season, produce seeds and then die.

However, perennials die back to the ground every autumn and their roots survive the winter.

So the plants reemerge in the spring, according to The Farmer’s Almanac. Some perennials are short-lived, meaning they will come back a few consecutive years; others will last for decades.

Though planted perennials require less maintenance than annuals, they are not completely maintenance-free. Certain care is needed to help perennials thrive, and that starts with the soil.

In fact, soil is the single most important factor for growing healthy plants. Penn State Extension says most perennials grow ideally in well drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. In addition, organic matter can improve soil texture and water-holding ability.

When including perennials in the garden, make sure you wait for the right time to plant them. The ideal time is during the spring or fall. Perennials come as container-grown perennials, which already have been established in the soil. Bare-root perennials are just roots that are often packed in peat moss. In order to plant bare-root perennials, soak the roots in water for several minutes before gently planting in the ground, indicates the how-to

resource Tip Bulletin.

Perennials should be watered deeply, especially during the first growing season. However, the soil should never be overly dry or wet. Most perennials do not need to be fertilized heavily. A single application in the spring typically is all that’s needed.

Care along the way can include deadheading spent flowers so that plants can use their

energy on seed production and reblooming. Perennials should be divided when they grow large, every three to four years when the plants are not in bloom. Perennials produce fewer flowers or may look sickly when the time has passed to divide them. Early spring often is a good time to divide perennials, advises The Farmer’s Almanac.

A thick layer of mulch can

help perennials to overwinter successfully. Perennials planted in containers will need to be transplanted into the garden before it gets cold because most containers cannot thoroughly insulate perennial roots.

Apart from these strategies, perennials pretty much take care of themselves. As long as sunlight requirements match plant needs, the perennials should thrive.

Hero’s Salute The Saranac Community would like to take this opportunity to say thanks and show our appreciation to all the members of the Saranac Community Fire Department. You are without a doubt, the community's frontline heroes.

It takes a special kind of person to commit themselves to the rigorous classroom and physical training requirements to be able to serve the community in this capacity. A fire department member must be willing to leave their family and loved ones to respond to a crisis, anytime during the day or night.

When called to duty, a fire department member never knows what to expect. It may be as simple as rescuing a cat from a tree or ducklings out of a storm sewer. It could involve entering a burning structure to rescue victims or responding to an accident and extricating those trapped in a vehicle. Our fire department members never hesitate to respond, no matter what the need.

The members of the Saranac Community Fire Department are all volunteers and receive very little reimbursement for their training and the 400 to 500 calls they respond to each year. Their coverage area includes the Village of Saranac, Boston Township, and portions of Berlin, Easton and Keene Townships respectively.

We are deeply grateful to the members of the Saranac Community Fire Department and their families, for all the sacrifices they make in their commitment to protect the lives and property of the residents in the Saranac Community.

If you have any interest in becoming one of these key people who are so crucial to protecting the life and safety of our community, please contact the fire department by phone at 616-642-6000. If a firefighter is not available, they will return your call.
