Refresh Your Home for Spring Eliminate the extras
While you’re freshening up the house, it’s the perfect time to purge unwanted and unused items, but remember that items in good condition can actually do good for those in need. By donating clothing, electronics, furniture, household goods and vehicles to be sold in The Salvation Army Family and Thrift Stores, you can help transform lives in your local community. A good rule of thumb: if you haven’t used it in the last year and it doesn’t have special sentimental value, it’s probably time to let it go.
According to current data, the average home price around our area is up 8–15% year-over-year, with homes selling for about 15% above asking. What do you think the local housing market will look like over the next year?
- Home prices will keep going up
- Prices will level off or even dip
- Things will balance out — fewer bidding wars, more normal sales
- Homes will still sell above asking
- More houses will come on the market
- Mortgage rates will shape what happens most

A skill that has always existed improves the aesthetics of our homes, shields us from every weather, and ensures we have a good night’s sleep even in the coldest weather. Sewing is that skill. National Sewing Month is celebrated to honor this artistic practice that fashions our bodies and adorns our homes all year. So, grab your needles and start sewing.
Sewing can assist you in clearing your mind of daily hassles, allowing you to appreciate the simple things in life.
Creating quilts, clothing, and other masterpieces will always bring you self-satisfaction. Sewing is a fun activity to do alone or with friends, whether you sew from scratch, alter clothing, or repurpose your wardrobe. The Singer sewing machine, the world's most popular sewing machine, was invented in 1851.
Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Sewing Month in 1982.
French military leader Napoleon is said to have pioneered putting buttons on sleeves.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old woman who isn’t prediabetic or diabetic.My BMI is 31.2.My doctor has prescribed a trial of metformin for weight loss as an alternative to starting Ozempic or one of the other weight-loss drugs. I have lost three pounds in a month, which is a start; exercise and healthier eating is also encouraged.
What are your thoughts on this new weight-loss tool and its possible longterm success? -- J.H.
ANSWER: Metformin, a treatment for diabetes that works mostly by preventing the liver from making sugar, isn’t new and has been used to help people lose weight for at least 20 years. While it was first shown to help people with prediabetes or diabetes, it is also effective at helping people with normal blood sugar lose weight. However, the effectiveness is modest, with most people losing around 2-3 kilograms (about 5 pounds), which is stable as long as people continue taking the medicine.
I certainly agree with the changes in lifestyle. In studies, people who adhere to a healthier diet and exercise are likely to lose more weight than people who take metformin without lifestyle changes.
I’ve had occasional patients who get motivated by the success of metformin, making it easier for them to comply with the diet and exercise changes. I’ve also had people say that the weight they lose with metformin makes it easier to exercise. Metformin is moderately successful in preventing diabetes, but it is not as effective for weight loss as approved weight-loss medicines such as semaglutide (Ozempic).
Some of my patients have read about metformin as an anti-aging drug based on animal data, and there are studies ongoing to see whether this is true in humans. I do not recommend its use for this purpose outside of a clinical trial.
Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m unable to find out from my health care provider’s clinic whether they offer a vaccine for the specific variant of COVID that is now said to be spreading. Do you know if there is a vaccine for this, and who is making it? -- J.A.

4. LITERATURE: In which famous museum does a murder take place in the novel “The Da Vinci Code”?
5. SCIENCE: What part of the plant is responsible for photosynthesis?
6. TELEVISION: When did the animated TV sitcom “The Flintstones” debut?
7. U.S. CITIES: Which city is known for the saying, “Where young people go to retire”?
8. FOOD & DRINK: Which Southeast Asian fruit has such a strong smell that it’s banned on public transportation?
9. ASTRONOMY: Which star is the brightest in the night sky?
10. MEASUREMENTS: How many meters are in a kilometer?
A.ANSWER: The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee at the Food and Drug Administration recommends against a new vaccine formulation this fall, so it appears that we will be using the same vaccine as last year. Fortunately the current vaccine appears to be effective against the new NB.1.8.1 variant,which is now present in all areas that are monitored by the World Health Organization.
The FDA has approved a new, more-effective Moderna vaccine, but at the time of this writing, it has not yet been approved by the Centers for Disease Control. The new vaccine gives high protection with less antigens. However, the specific variants of COVID used for the vaccine will not be updated this year.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that children and adolescents get 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day. The CDC advises that such physical activity should include aerobic activity and muscle and bone strengthening exercises. Aerobic activity should take up most of kids’ daily physical activities and can include moderate activities, such as brisk walking, or more intense activities like running. Parents should make sure kids include some vigorous aerobic activity in their physical activity routines at least three days per week. Muscle strengthening activities do not mean parents should get their youngsters in the gym as soon as possible. Rather, activitieslikegymnasticsorpushups done three times per week can be enough to help kids build strong muscles. The CDC notes that as kids reach adolescence, they may start structured weighttraining programs to strengthen their muscles. Jumping rope or runningthreetimesperweekcan serveaskids’bone-strengthening exercises.

Moths (written at my camp in the woods)
By Mitzi Merrill
My screams, they come in the morning
My screams, they come at night
My screams don’t come from joyful times ey only come from fright.
e mice will run through my cupboards e spiders nest under my sink e bees, they buzz ‘round my awnings
None of these pests make me blink!
But moths, they’re really quite creepy ey’re furry and really shouldn’t fly ey’re hiding behind every warm spot

And dart out and that’s when I cry!
When gypsy moths made a visit
And dropped as worms from the sky, ey turned into moths by the dozen
And I thought I was gonna die!
One flew out from my q-tips
One hid inside my tool
One warmed itself on my lightbulb

And they ended up in my toilet-enjoy the pool!
Education is vital for young people to reach their full potential and enjoy success in adulthood. Students’ academic journeys begin as early as preschool and continue for decades. While students ultimately earn degrees or professional certifications in their own names, their academic journeys are often a team effort that includes the support of their parents.
Parental involvement in school can pay significant dividends for students. In 2019, the American Psychological Association reviewed more than 400 studies examining parental involvement in school. That review found that students whose parents were involved in their children’s schooling showed greater academic achievement, school engagement and motivation compared to youngsters with parents who were not involved. That payoff compels millions of parents to get involved in their children’s schooling, and the following are a handful of ways to do just that.
• Start the year off right. Parental involvement in children’s schooling can begin before a new school year gets under way. Orientation events designed to acclimate students to new schools can help calm youngsters’ nerves when they’re beginning kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or high school. Transferring to a new school due to a family relocation or another variable can be difficult for students, and parents can make that transition a little easier by attending orientation events before the first day of classes. Back-to-school nighs held a week or two into the school year also present a great chance for parents to start the year off right.
• Actively communicate with children’s teachers. Parents can contact teachers at the start of a new school year to identify the best way to communicate. Some schools utilize apps to facilitate communication with parents. Some teachers may prefer communicating via email, phone calls or even text messages. Parents should not hesitate or be afraid to reach out to teachers about their children’s needs.
• Do your part at home, too. Parental involvement in children’s education can extend to the home as well. Parents can emphasize the importance of education in conversations with their children and offer to help with homework when children seem to need some assistance. Parents also can ask about assignments and tests, enthusiastically engage in projects designed to involve students’ families, and provide a stable, distraction-free home environment where kids can focus on their schoolwork.
• Volunteer with parental organizations. Parent teacher associations/organizations are always in need of members to help to organize special events and volunteer at school functions. Parents can join groups such as a PTA or PTO to get more involved in campus life. If joining such groups is not possible, parents can let it be known that they would like to volunteer for events throughout the school year.
• Ask children about their day. One of the simplest ways parents can be more involved in children’s schooling is to ask them about their day when they arrive home. Ask children what they did in class, and which parts of their day they found most, or even least, enjoyable. When parents express an interest in what kids are doing at school, that may compel kids to be more interested in their
Children are the ultimate beneficiaries when parents get involved in their youngsters’ education, and there’s no shortage of ways for moms and dads to engage at school.
“My Friend Linda” was a beautiful poem and I cried just reading it. Losing a dear friend is almost as heart wrenching as losing a family member. My sympathy to the author…I know the memories of your friend will always be in your heart.

I understand prices are high for products and travel and the companies who run county fair concessions and rides need to make money. $5 is not bad to get in but try to eat. Drink. Go on a ride or play a game and you are in for a rude awakening. Fun should not put you in debt or break the bank. Most of the stands and rides had only a couple of people and no lines, they might find making a couple of dollars less would double or triple their sales. example - Two people to ride the Ferris Wheel: $20.00 - we walked away.
I recently passed by a neighbor’s roadside sign that I thought read ‘fresh veggies.’ I turned around for some zucchini and to see what else they had. Turns out I misread the sign and it actually said, ‘free veggies!’ Thank you for the zucchini and green beans, it made my day and I’ll be enjoying some fresh zucchini bread as soon as it comes out of the oven! Thanks, neighbor!
I wish to thank the young man who found my wallet at Marketplace parking area on Aug 4. His father drove him to my house to return it before I even missed the loss (and suffered the search anxiety). What a blessing. You’ve brightened my life, Thank You.
For God’s sake please stop feeding the varmints in the neighborhood!! I know you think you’re being helpful, but leaving food of any sort in your yard is only inviting rodents and such into the neighborhood. I work nights and often sit on my porch late at night and people would be disgusted what creeps around after they are tucked into bed thinking they did a good deed by feeding skunks, rats, woodchucks, etc. And PLEASE turn your spotlight garage lights off at night! It shines down at least 4-5 houses. My retinas are burnt!! Thank you in advance.

In the world of food recalls and alerts, just when you think you’ve seen it all, something even more scary and dangerous comes along. We’ve had the “normal” stuff, of course. There was the cheese produced in a facility that had mice and rats.There was the cheese that was recalled for risk of listeria.We had undeclared wheat in chocolate cookies and boxes of cheese crackers that actually contained peanut butter crackers, a potential life-threatening problem for those who are allergic to peanuts.Then there was the undeclared soy and wheat in ice cream. An energy drink was found to contain alcohol because the alcoholic drink was mistakenly packaged in the energy drink cans. Just regular stuff, right?
But it was another one that gave me a chill: instant coffee was found to contain ground glass.
The coffee was sold in 48 states, with only Hawaii and Alaska being left out. It wasn’t just one manufacturing lot that was affected, but three. The company was notified by a customer and immediately issued the recall. I hate to think of the possible injuries that could be caused by drinking that coffee.
At the same time, this last week saw consumer products recalls for the charger to smartwatches because they can overheat and ignite, kids’ pajamas that don’t meet flammability standards, jewelry with excess levels of cadmium (which can cause health effects due to skin exposure), heated socks that can cause burns and blisters, a multitool with a blade that can cause cuts and a set of kitchen steps with a safety bar that can collapse.
Whew. It’s been busy in the recall department, and those are only from the consumer products section.
If you’d like to receive email alerts for all types of products (food, vehicles, medicine, consumer products, boats, environmental products, cosmetics), go online to www.recalls.gov and sign up. Other government websites with recalls include www.fda.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov.

BY LORI BRUTON
For many, a career in engineering offers a clear, practical road rooted in logic, structure, and problem-solving. For Rochester native, Bill Mowson, however, engineering was just the first brushstroke in a rich, multidimensional canvas.
Attaining multiple engineering degrees in his undergraduate studies at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), he tackled complex projects by day and took on a different texture by night. He enrolled in art classes, drawn to color, composition, and the freedom of creative expression. is parallel pursuit gradually wove itself into his life, offering a counterbalance to his technical work as an engineer, manager, and senior scientist with Hewlett-Packard Company.
Raised in Rochester, Mowson developed an enduring love for the Finger Lakes. Summers spent in rented cottages along the lakeshores instilled in him a sense of place and connection. Relocating his family to Ithaca brought a new rhythm and composition to his life, adding fresh vantage points and color to his journey as a painter.
Determined to merge his technical expertise with his growing artistic vision, Mowson invested in equipment to create his own high-quality, low-cost reproductions. Mastering the handson, technical process meant he could quickly turn a finished painting into a print, eliminating middlemen and ensuring each piece met his meticulous standards. e full cycle under his control allowed creativity to flow.
e inspiration behind the name Fingerlake Footprints is as unique as the artist himself. A er acquiring a wide-format printer, Mowson discovered he could enlarge his watercolor scenes and print them in vertical panels, each precisely one foot wide, hence, “Foot(wide)prints.” Today, his studio operates 24” and 36” printers, and his multipaneled business is flourishing, vibrant, and ever-evolving.
Mowson credits much of his growth to his involvement in local artist cooperatives, in which creatives gather to exchange techniques,sharestories,andbroadeneachother’sperspectives. For Bill, these communities boost business and inspire his creativity.
Western New York and the Finger Lakes area are special to Mowson because it’s home. “Geographically, for a landscape painter, you couldn’t get any better than the Finger Lakes in terms of diversity and beauty. Italy and France have nothing on the Finger Lakes,” Mowson remarks with characteristic pride and affection.
Each year, Mowson splits his time between Rochester and Naples, Florida. In the winter months, his southern studio comes alive with vibrant “Floridascapes,” including oceans, piers, and tropical palm trees. He finds endless inspiration in the outdoors, nurturing his well-being through walking, tennis, and golf.
At the heart of Mowson’s story is a willingness to take risks, blend the practical with the passionate, and pursue growth wherever it may lead. His journey from engineer to celebrated watercolor artist displays the value of reinvention and the enduring spirit of creativity.
His gallery experiences foster connections with art lovers and provide a platform to showcase his talent. Mowson expanded his reach by selling limited edition prints to local wineries, offering a painted treasure for those on wine tours to take home.
What’s on the horizon for Mowson? His artistic ambitions reach beyond regional success. He continues to set his sights on national exhibitions and awards, while also expanding into teaching.

He says, “Watercolor is a hard medium, and it’s essential to learn it properly from the beginning.” is fall, he’ll teach a beginners’ workshop in Fairport, eager to pass along foundational techniques and encourage the next generation of artists. Watching students unlock their creativity gives him tremendous satisfaction and proof that his journey isn’t just his own, but part of a continuum of local creativity.
His advice for aspiring artists: “Rome was not built in a day. You don’t become famous overnight, and not every painting you do will be a winner.” Mowson’s journey is a testament to the value of patience, persistence, and a willingness to reinvent oneself layer by layer.
For Mowson, each painting is a new composition and a new journey, each project a chance to balance technique and intuition, and each season in the Finger Lakes a fresh source of inspiration. From blueprints to brushstrokes, his legacy is written not just in bold colors, but in the footprints he leaves across the creative landscape of Western New York.
Whether you’re sampling a local wine adorned with his art, attending a workshop, or admiring a landscape in a gallery, Mowson’s work reminds us that it’s never too late to add new layers to your life and inspire others to do the same.
Look for Mowson at the Clothesline Arts Festival at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester on September 6th and 7th. For more information, visit his website fingerlakefootprints.com.
Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means waste of time. ~John Lubbock, “Recreation,” The Use of Life, 1894
DID YOU KNOW? A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year,but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.
HOW COUPLES CAN BENEFIT FROM HIRING LOCAL WEDDING VENDORS: Local vendors will be familiar with the area and possibly even the location where the wedding will be held. That can help couples avoid having to give directions, discuss venue protocols, and handle other tasks that must be worked out with non-local vendors. For example, local photographers familiar with a particular venue will know all of the best places to get shots, and some vendors may have preexisting relationships with venue representatives that could ensure wedding day operations go smoothly.

STATISTICS SHOW JUST HOW BIG SMALL BUSINESS IS
Small businesses have such a big impact on their communities, and the world at large, that it might be time to reconsider refering to them as “small.”
According to the World Bank, small businesses have a major impact on the world economy, especially in emerging countries. In such nations, small and medium enterprises contribute up to 60 percent of total employment and up to 40 percent of national income. Small businesses figure to frame their economies in emerging countries in the coming decades, and they’re already doing so in developed nations, such as the United States and Canada.
Summer parades and fireworks are part of the charm in villages like Avon, Caledonia, and Livonia but not all pets agree. Around the holidays, create a safe, quiet space at home, and keep pets indoors. More pets go missing during July fireworks than any other time of year.
Bindi is an 8 year old Chihuahua who likes sitting on anyone’s lap and getting attention.
Ethel is a 16 year old mix who likes going on walks and playing in the creek. They are both rescues, love treats and reside at the Middlesex Valley Airport.
Animal trainers can address any type of behavior. According to the Animal Behavior Institute, trainers who work with dogs, cats, parrots, or other companion animals must have a thorough and detailed knowledge of animal behavior. Pet owners who have successfully housebroken puppies in the past may think they can do it again with relative ease, but no two puppies are the same. Techniques that worked with one dog will not necessarily work with another. Trainers recognize this and have an array of techniques within their arsenal, making them capable of addressing and correcting any type of behavior.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Thank you for discussing war dogs and their service with our armed forces. Can you highlight some non-military canine heroes, too? -- Jim F., San Diego
DEAR JIM: Absolutely! Dogs have been performing heroic feats for as long as they’ve been our companions. But only a few have made it into the history books. Here are a few that some readers may not have heard of: Balto and Togo: In January 1925, a diphtheria outbreak threatened the population of Nome, Alaska. To deliver lifesaving serum, teams of sled dogs relayed 500 miles across ice and snow in treacherous weather. Togo led his dog team across the longest, most dangerous part of the relay. Balto, a young and inexperienced husky, sprinted through fierce winds to reach the town in record time. Today, their journey is commemorated each year with the Iditarod sled race.
Riley: A Golden Retriever search-and-rescue (SAR) dog who became the face of SAR dogs in the wake of 9/11. At one point, Riley was sent alone in a basket over a 60foot chasm to search the wreckage on the other side. He was one of many dogs who searched the World Trade Center rubble to recover those lost. Riley died in 2010, suffering various health problems, possibly from his time at Ground Zero.
Buddy: In 1928, this German Shepherd became the first Seeing Eye dog in the United States. Born in Switzerland, she (yes, Buddy was a she) was trained by Dorothy Harrison Eustis, who ran a kennel that trained military and police dogs. Eustis matched Buddy to Frank Morris, a sight-impaired man from the U.S. Morris championed the use of Seeing Eye dogs, demonstrating Buddy’s skill at leading him across busy Manhattan streets.

Flexibility: Retirees may be looking to contribute to their communities or simply earn a little spending money, but they will likely still want the freedom to travel or spend time with their families whenever they choose.So flexibility is something to look for in a postretirement job. This is what makes consultant work so attractive to retirees. In-person hours may not be required of consultants, who can then offer their input while visiting their grandchildren or traveling the world.
Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacationdaysin2015.Vacationisnotjustatimetogetaway,butavaluable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.
