Letter to the EditorPublic funds for a private road
Nearly four months ago thetowns of Danube and Starkcondemned a little-travelledsection of Travis Road to be-come the straightest, widest,fastest county road in twotowns. Hundreds of trees havebeen cut down, three hilltopswill be carried away, utilitypoles will be moved and curveswill be eliminated to maximizespeed. The entire approvalprocess was done in about fourweeks. Under the direction ofMark Naegle, Herkimer High-way Superintendent, bothtowns voted to allow a road thesize of NYS Route 168 to besqueezed through our residen-tial subdivision.
This section of Travis Road isdifficult to navigate with threesteep grades and eight sightline problems. It has remainedan 18-foot wide road for 85years. The original farm herewas subdivided into 15 resi-dential building lots in 1991.There are now seven homes
built close to this little usedroad, and two side streets, onewith three homes, one withthree camps. Six lots remainopen hay fields and one awoodlot. Residential propertylines the entire length of theflat section of the road, a mere0.8 miles.
For the past six years or soTravis Road has shared theburden of farm traffic on ourroads – farm vehicles, slurrytrucks, tractor trailer trucksdriving at fast speeds to get thefarm work done (weather per-mitting). Our local farm, InsightDairy, has done an excellent jobof spreading the inconvenienceof their road use around. Theysend trucks up one road andback on another. They alternateroutes, entirely respecting thequality of life for us all. This isthe very definition of communi-ty. We share the difficulties andwe support each other as bestwe can. This is the most beauti-ful part of life in a rural com-
munity and I am proud to be apart of it. Making roadsstraighter and wider does notmake them safer and sendingspeeding truck traffic throughthe most densely populated,physically challenging road is-n’t just irresponsible, it’s cruel.To put the burden of all thetrucks, all the time, every dayon one road destroys thatneighborhood. The amount oftraffic on our road will triplewith approximately 50 trucksmaking two trips each. Thefamilies on Travis Road, like somany Americans, have investedthe majority of our life’s savingsand our retirement nest eggs inour homes and property.
Other towns divert truck traf-fic away from densely populat-ed areas. Truck routes are of-ten longer routes and circle theedges of communities protect-ing people and their propertyvalues.
More than 300 signaturesfrom Herkimer County resi-
dents have been submittedasking the Legislature to adjustthe size of this road project. Im-prove Travis Road, yes, butmake it the same size as all ourother county roads. What is thepoint of spending $1.5 millionto build a 24-foot wide roadlinking two smaller roads?Herkimer legislators have beenunable to affect any adjust-ment to this project, althoughseveral did make an effort.
At our last town meeting,Rusty Brown, Danube TownSupervisor, announced to a fullhouse that the town was justi-fied in giving Travis Road to In-sight Dairy because they paythe largest amount of taxes. Headded that he “would do noth-ing to curtail their business.”He finished with a rousing“they have a right to farm.”
Thank you. Finally, aftermonths spent lobbying theCounty Legislature, someonehas the courage to speak thetruth. I absolutely agree – all
dairies have the right to farm. Ifthey choose to expand they havethe right to do that also. And thefamilies on Travis Road ab-solutely have the right to the qui-et enjoyment of their property.
The suggestion that we needto purchase through tax moneyour right to property smacks ofcronyism and political corrup-tion. All Americans have theright to private property re-gardless of the amount of taxthey pay. We waged war to gainthese rights and our militarypeople give their lives to protectthem. We disgrace and devaluetheir sacrifice by not demand-ing consideration and fairtreatment under the law. It isincumbent on our elected offi-cials to balance economicgrowth and the preservation ofour rights, our environmentand our rural way of life.
If a community establishes atruck route it needs to be done

by Donna EricksonIt’s lemonade-stand season
Ten-year-old Josh and his 7-year-old sister Naomimight have the best lemonade stand going in theirsmall town situated over the hill from Silicon Valley,CA. It all started when their mom asked, “Where doesmoney come from?”
When they answered, “from birthday presents andthe bank,” their mom and English teacher IngridAdams responded with an emphatic: “No! Moneycomes from work!”
That was the moment she realized she had work todo in order to change their perspective on money. Thatmotivation was the spark to fire up the kids thisspring to become mini entrepreneurs in a way thatmade sense to them: the time-honored tradition of set-ting up a humble lemonade stand.
Ingrid knew the cardinal rule of good business. Lo-
cation, location, location. The front stoop of theirtownhouse is on a fairly busy street, where familiesdrive to and from community soccer fields, a populardog park and a weekend farmer’s market. It wouldlikely attract throngs of thirsty families on a hot day.
The first step: Investors in this American kind of en-trepreneurship. Ingrid footed the bill and made it clearshe was saving the receipts for reimbursement in thisbusiness plan: $12 for grocery store lemonade and$11 from the local dollar store for cups, pitchers andposter board for the sign. Their grandmother lentthem her TV tray for a table.
Holding a sign, waving it back and forth, Josh at-tracted attention to the “drive-up” stand. SUVs andminivans stopped as Naomi poured the lemonade andJosh delivered it curbside to adults and thirsty kids incar seats in the back. (Ingrid kept a watchful eye closeby). Always with a kind “thanks for your business, andhave a great day” comment, the neighborhood cus-tomers consistently said “keep the change!” as theypulled away.
“That didn’t encourage math skills, because theydidn’t have to calculate change,” said Ingrid, “but ithelped the bottom line.”
I’d invest in Josh and Naomi! In fact, who knows, bythis summer, they may be imagining a franchise and cre-ating a “Find the Closest Lemonade Stand” app for ourphones. Nostalgic traditions with modern technology!
As the mercury rises, watch for lemonade standspopping up where you live. If you approach one ofthese businesses operated by cheerful kids, do stop.
You’ll quench your thirst, and be applauding their en-thusiasm and good work with your support.

in a thoughtful manner with the involvement of all in-terested stakeholders. Decades of research haveproven that if a community favors one part of its eco-nomic base at the expense of another it damages itself.We witness the result of these decisions: HerkimerMain Street and the blight of zombie properties.
Please help the families of Travis Road by contactingthe County Legislators Jim Bono at 315.894.4334 [email protected] or Pete Campione at 315.823.1641or [email protected] .
We deserve an open, honest government that valuesour needs and desires regarding the development ofour county. This is an election year. Herkimer Countyis the only county in New York State that does nothave a master plan for development.
To support saving country roads and protecting ourcountryside contact CNY Rural Life Preservation Coali-tion at [email protected] . If we don’t take actionthen we have to settle for what the moneyed class willgive us. We must participate in the process if we wanta better future for our county and for our children.

Donna’s Day: Creative family fun
HERKIMER – Sixteen cadets graduated fromHerkimer County Community College’s Pre-Employ-ment Police Academy on Saturday, June 1. It was thefirst class to graduate from the new program, which isa partnership between Little Falls Police Departmentand Herkimer College.
Tom Carinci was chosen unanimously by his peersto speak on their behalf at the ceremony. Carinci hadalways wanted to be a police officer, but until this pro-gram started, he did not see any opportunity to getinto the profession. At 50 years old, he was unable totake the civil service test to get hired by a police de-partment due to his age. As a result of entering thisprogram, he was hired part-time by Little Falls PoliceDepartment and part-time by the Village of FrankfortPolice Department. He has since retired from his ca-reer at Birnie Bus and accepted as a campus safety of-ficer at Herkimer College.
“To become a police officer is an honor and a privi-lege. Many of us have dreamed about this momentgrowing up. We now have the opportunity of going for-ward, realizing our dreams and putting our traininginto use,” said Carinci.
Retired Little Falls Police Chief and Program DirectorMichael Masi said, “This program has provided oppor-
tunities for people that they may never have had. Byputting themselves through 85% of the New York Staterequired basic course for police, they have not onlydemonstrated their abilities and commitment to theprofession, but they also have made themselves mar-ketable to communities at a significant cost savings.”
Graduates with the Class of 2019Meagan C. Bedell (Fort Hunter), Jarrett E. Brown
(Oneonta), David M. Budzitowski (Hauppauge), Nico-las R. Burak (Amsterdam), Thomas J. Carinci (New-port), Justin S. Case (St. Johnsville), Jesse Cheney(Gloversville), Eric Fernandez (Amsterdam), John S.Klimacek (Little Falls), Colton P. Lucas (Mohawk),Marvin D. Maldonado (Ballston Spa), Liam P. Rockwell(Jefferson), Andrew R. Sheppard (Cold Brook), TerrellA. Silvera (Hartwick), Ryan R. Wilmot (Fonda) and An-thony Young (Johnstown).
The program at Herkimer College prepares studentsfor a career as a police officer prior to being hired by alaw enforcement agency. Although the program doesnot guarantee admissions into a police department,every standard required by a full-time basic policeacademy applies including academics, attendance andphysical fitness. Upon successful completion of theprogram, graduates receive a transcript and a certifi-
cate indicating completion of Phase 1 of Pre-Employ-ment Police Basic Training. This certificate gives stu-dents two years to secure employment in a police de-partment and complete the Phase II portion of thetraining before being awarded a full Basic School Cer-tificate from the Department of Criminal Justice Serv-ices. The Phase II training is presented only to swornpolice officers and contains the remainder of policetraining units which civilian students are prohibitedby state law from participating in.

Grilling lends itself well to many different foods. Thesmoky, flame-licked flavor of foods prepared on thegrill is hard to replicate by other means of cooking.
Many people turn to grilling each night, especiallywhen the weather is warm and pleasant. Fish is onefood that can sometimes cause grilling-related anxi-ety. The tender, flaky nature of fish makes it seem likea poor fit for the grill, simply because it can fallthrough the slats. Yet grilling fish is easier than onemay think when they utilize these methods of cooking.
Foil packetsGrilling fish in foil packets is relatively foolproof.
Simply place the fish on a thick piece of aluminum foiland add seasonings and other ingredients, like lemonslices or vegetables. Fold it up into a pocket that iscompletely sealed so that no juices or steam can es-cape. Then grill for 10 to 15 minutes, depending onthe thickness of the fish. The steam and moisture will
keep the fish succulent.Season the grill
Much like a chef properly seasons a cast iron grill,
the same technique can be applied to grill grates, saysCooks Illustrated. Apply a generous amount of cook-ing oil to the grates and allow them to heat up. Thisadds a nonstick element to the grill, and fish fillets willbe less likely to adhere to the grates and prove trou-blesome to get off in one piece. Removing excess mois-ture from the fish with a paper towel also can help.
Wood planksUtilized a well-oiled plank of fragrant, food-grade
wood on which to cook the fish. The fish will take onthe flavor of the wood as well as cook without stickingto the grill.
Grill basketVisit a cooking supply retailer and you’re bound to
find different grill baskets that house flaky fish to makeit easier to cook these on the grill. The basket keeps thefish from breaking apart while cooking and turning.
Choose thick cutsCertain fish, or those with a texture similar to meat
and poultry, may stand up better to direct grilling.Salmon, tuna and swordfish are just a few options totry, offers the cooking resource Delish.

HERKIMER from 8
by Keith Roach, M.D.Summer sun bakesmail-order meds
Dear Dr. Roach: I getall of my medicine bymail. Since the manufac-turers stress keeping thepills at cool room temper-atures, I wonder what theexcessive heat does tothem. The medicine mustcook all day in the mail-box — way over 100 de-grees here in Florida. Iwonder how much thepills or liquids are deteri-orating, and how the ef-fectiveness is influenced.— F.N.
Answer: You are rightto be concerned. All med-icines should be stored ina cool and dark place, asdirect sunlight and heatcan damage their effec-tiveness. Hormones, suchas oral contraceptivepills, thyroid hormoneand insulin, are amongthe most sensitive. Nitro-glycerine is as well. Al-though some are shippedin packaging with coldpacks and insulation,that’s not always thecase.
I recommend using a lo-cal pharmacy, but manypeople have prescription
plans that require themto use mail order. If that’sthe case for you, try tomake sure the medicinewill be delivered whenyou are available to re-ceive it. If you have a tem-perature-sensitive medi-cine, such as the ones Imention above (ask yourpharmacist about oth-ers), ask your mail-orderpharmacy to send it inspecial packaging duringwarm-weather months.
Dear Dr. Roach: I am a68-year-old male. I hadtriple bypass surgery twoyears ago. Post-surgerycomplications includeddiabetes, pneumonia andrenal failure. I spent ap-proximately three monthsin intensive care. Afterdischarge I started physi-cal therapy, as my armsand hands had atro-phied. I am still doingtherapy, but continue tohave limited use of myarms and hands (I cannotcurl my hands withoutforce). Any insight youhave as to why I am un-able to use my handswould be appreciated. —C.M.
Answer: Muscle weak-ness is common after an
ICU stay (it’s seen inmore than 25 percent ofpatients), due to severalseparate causes. Pro-longed immobility canlead to weakness, atro-phy and even contrac-tures (involuntary bend-ing at certain joints, suchas the elbow and ankle).Both critical illness my-opathy (affecting mus-cles; it’s common in peo-ple who received steroids,like prednisone) and crit-ical illness polyneuropa-thy (affecting nerves; it’s
common in people withsevere infection, like sep-sis) can lead to weaknessand atrophy.
Medications are some-times needed to paralyzemuscles in surgery or incritical illnesses, andthese can have long-last-ing side effects, includingweakness. Malnutrition iscommon in ICU patients,not because ICU doctorsand nurses don’t know toor don’t want to feed pa-tients, but because thebody may be unable to
absorb necessary nutri-ents. Some or all of thesemay combine to leavelasting physical effectsfrom a long ICU stay.
Physical and occupa-tional rehabilitation serv-ices are the key to the re-covery of function. Re-turn of physical strengthis slow and may be in-complete, so it may benecessary to use aids andto learn new ways to per-form tasks. It has beenmy repeated experiencethat almost everyone can
benefit from therapy, andpatients who work hard-er, are more driven andare more optimistic tendto have the best results.Although most benefit isseen in the first year afterloss of function, you stillmay continue to improvewith therapy, perhapsutilizing different modali-ties. Definitely seek anoccupational therapist ifyou haven’t already.

WhatchamacallitsIn the wonderful world of tools, sometimes newer
isn’t necessarily better. And unfortunately, knowing how to use some of the “ancient” tools has been lost over the last few generations. You can fi nd unusual tools at fl ea markets, estate sales and antique shops. Glancing at them, you say, “That’s cool! I wonder what it does?”I think these tools would fall into that category.
They are slide hammer nail pullers, manufactured by different companies. While I was researching one of the manufacturers online – Maltby Henley & Co., of New York – I stumbled upon a fascinating YouTube video demonstrating how slide hammer nail pullers work. You can fi nd it at www.youtube.com/watch?v=573UbJ3tgQI .
It’s a pretty ingenious device for pulling out nails you wouldn’t normally be able to grab hold of with a cat’s paw-type nail puller. Doing that would tear up the board or frame the nail is in. The handle end slides with a pump action, forcing the pincher end into the wood around the nailhead so it can be grasped and pulled out. The part that looks like a pick, of course, acts as the lever, just like the claws of a typical hammer. The fellow who posted the how-to video said it is his “go-to” tool for extracting hard to remove nails.You place the pincher end (opened slightly larger
than the nailhead) over the nail, slide the handle a few times, grab the nail and pull it out. Voila!It’s very cool, and now you know what it does.

BOCES VP-TECH student earns degree from Herkimer CollegeHERKIMER – Herkimer-Fulton-
Hamilton-Otsego BOCES Valley Path-ways in Technology Early College High
School (VP-TECH) student Brooke New-town would have walked across thestage at the May 19 Herkimer College
graduation to receive her associate de-gree if not for one limitation: She stillhad about a month of high school left.
“You have to be a high school gradu-ate to graduate from college,” shelaughed.
Newtown, 18, of Central Valley Acade-my, earned an associate degree in qual-ity assurance from Herkimer Collegethrough her four years at Herkimer BO-CES. As part of the first VP-TECH class,she is the first and only student toachieve this thus far.
VP-TECH launched in the 2015-16school year with freshmen fromHerkimer BOCES component schooldistricts. Another class of ninth gradershas joined each year since, so VP-TECHwas essentially a four-year high schoolfor the first time this school year.
The VP-TECH program focuses ontechnology, project-based learning andreal-world work situations. Studentscan spend four to six years in the pro-gram to earn a Regents diploma, an as-sociate degree in quality assurancefrom Herkimer College for free, a certifi-cation in advanced manufacturing andconnections with local businesses.
Newtown said she made up her inmind as a freshman that she wanted tocomplete the associate degree duringhigh school. She graduated from CVA on
Friday, June 28. With her last require-ment then fulfilled, her associate degreefrom Herkimer College will arrive in themail in August. She also received a com-pletion certificate for advanced manu-facturing at the Herkimer BOCES Ca-reer and Technical Education Comple-tion and Awards Ceremony on June 18.
Newtown plans to attend MarywoodUniversity in Pennsylvania in autumnin a pre-physician’s assistant program –on her way to becoming a physician’sassistant, with the possibility of becom-ing a doctor later.
VP-TECH Coordinator Danielle Mona-han described Newtown as “the epitomeof a perfect student.”
“Brooke possess so many wonderfulqualities that will help pave the way fora bright and successful future,” Mona-han said. “Not only is she intelligentand athletic, Brooke is caring, confi-dent, honest and most of all, she takespride in herself. I am honored to be apart of Brooke’s life, and I can’t wait towatch her reach her life goals. She is atrue role model for her underclassman.”
Opportunities were limitlessNewtown first learned about VP-TECH
in eighth grade. “At that point, I had no

idea what I wanted to do,” she said, re-ferring to her potential career paths.She did find the idea of free college ap-pealing. She applied and was accepted.
The first day of school at VP-TECH inSeptember 2015 was exciting becauseof how open the program felt with its fo-cus on project-based learning, Newtownsaid. “Anything around us, we had theopportunity to do,” she said. “The op-portunities were limitless for us.”
You had to want itThe next days of school became diffi-
cult for her. Attending VP-TECH with thesame group of about 30 students everyday was different, and she felt like shewas missing a lot at CVA. But she adjust-ed to the changes and became re-moti-vated by the possibilities at VP-TECH.
“After two weeks, I really found myplace here,” she said. “I think I reallygrew as an individual and student here.”
She also worked with VP-TECH andCVA to make sure she still felt like shewas part of CVA. She credits CVA HighSchool Principal Richard Keeler withhelping her in this area.
Newtown won the Central Valley Pa-narites Cup for most outstanding fe-male student-athlete of 2019, ScholarAthlete Award, Softball Booster ClubAward and her field hockey team’s MostValuable Player Award. She’s a two-time
Tri-Valley All-Star in field hockey.She also won a Herkimer Region Col-
lege & Career Scholarship FoundationAward and was in National Honor Soci-ety through CVA, National TechnicalHonor Society through VP-TECH andthe Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society atHerkimer College.
“You had to want it to be here, and Ireally wanted it,” she said of VP-TECH.“Because I wanted it so much, it madeit worth it.”
Found a passionDuring her first day of school at VP-
TECH, Newtown said her decision to at-tend the school was influenced by ef-forts in the region to focus on technolo-gy and draw nanotechnology business-es. She was looking forward to using theMakerBot 3-D printers, Lego Roboticsand more in the program.
Her focus began to change while shewas in the program, however. “The tech-nology still really interests and intriguesme, but being here, I really found a pas-sion for helping others, and then I real-ized I wanted to work in medical andhelp others,” she said. “I think it start-ed when my teachers pushed me to gospeak to students at other schools.”
Her teachers urged Newtown to be oneof the VP-TECH students who
BOCES 13
BOCES from 11
presented about the program to potential studentsand at career fair events, and taking that step helpedher discover her desire to assist other people, she said.Newtown also has people in her family who are in themedical field, and talking to them about changing peo-ple’s lives inspired her.
Prepared meNewtown thinks her experience with technology and
advanced manufacturing from VP-TECH will be astepping stone, giving her a leg up on others in themedical field. Some classes from her associate degreethrough Herkimer College will fulfill requirements ofher pre-physician’s assistant program at MarywoodUniversity, where she will also play field hockey. Shewill be in a program where she can earn a bachelor’s
degree in the pre-physician’s assistant program inthree years, and then two years of professional studyto earn a master’s degree to be certified as a physi-cian’s assistant.
Participating in VP-TECH including classes atHerkimer College also sets her up for success at Mary-wood University, she said.
“I definitely feel like it has prepared me as far as test-taking and study skills,” she said.
Newtown also completed an internship at One RealtyPartners in New Hartford through VP-TECH, and itgave her a chance to work in a professional businesssetting with the local community.
Stand outIt feels surreal to Newtown that she is 18 and has
earned a college associate degree already. “It was aonce in a lifetime opportunity,” she said. “I wanted to
stand out from my peers. And I felt like I have it insideme – I have the drive to achieve this.”
She constantly pushed herself academically – dou-bling up on courses and taking summer classes and“winter minis.” Her senior year was the most challeng-ing because she felt like she had to keep up her per-formance or she wouldn’t be able to complete her goalof earning the associate degree during high school.
“It was honestly the most amazing feeling ever – fin-ishing my last class in early May,” she said. “It was justamazing to know all my hard work had really paid off.”
Such a long wayNewtown said she recommends VP-TECH to stu-
dents if they’re interested in hands-on, project-basedlearning and communicating with other students – “ifyou’re someone who wants to excel but can’t excel inthe typical classroom,” she said.
Newtown thinks students considering the programshould have an idea of what to expect.
“I would say that it’s challenging, but it’s definitely oneof the most rewarding and fulfilling opportunities thatare provided to us as high school students,” she said.
By being the first students in the program, her classsometimes felt like test subjects for how VP-TECHwould work, and they overcame challenges that otherclasses won’t, Newtown said.
Herkimer BOCES hosted a senior recognition onMay 30 for the first cohort to complete VP-TECH, andit was a nice moment, Newtown said.
“It was amazing just to see how everyone has comesuch a long way since the beginning of the program,”she said. “It was just a great feeling to know that wemade it.”

by Terry and Kim KovelSeashell sofa
“I’ve never seen one be-fore, so it must be valu-able!” is a common com-ment made by collectors.But rarity doesn’t alwaysadd to the price. Fame,beauty, workmanship,even usefulness adds tothe dollars paid for anunusual piece. A recentSkinner auction inBoston sold an 1840s-shaped sofa that wascompletely covered withshells – not fabric – asupholstery. The framewas made of wood andtrimmed with rope. Itprobably was not a com-fortable seat, but aunique conversationpiece.
The sofa came fromNew Brunswick, Canada,likely from a seasidetown. A talented originalartist painted the woodred, then added mussel,clam, scallop, cockle,quahog, snail, starfishand other shells as wellas pottery shards. Theseat was covered in net.The sofa’s price was esti-mated at under $2,500,but it sold for $4,613. Nodoubt the buyer liked theocean and had an inde-pendent taste in furni-ture.
Q: I’m looking for infor-mation about a pair ofsalt and pepper shakersmarked “Quaker Silver”and “506.” There also isan emblem of a Quakeron the bottom. Can yougive me an estimate of
value?A: The Quaker Silver
Co. Inc. was in businessin North Attleboro, MA,by 1926. It made sterlingsilver, silver plate andpewter hollowware. Thecompany was bought byGorham in 1959. Saltand pepper shakersmarked “506” are made ofpewter. They usually sellfor $15 to $20.
Q: We have a framedposter from the movie
“Mr. Holland’s Opus.” It’ssigned “Best Wishes,Richard Dreyfuss.” Wealso have the movie scriptsigned the same way andthe music “An AmericanSymphony,” written byMichael Kamen and
signed by him andRichard Dreyfuss. We’rewondering what the valueof this collection is and ifwe should add it to one ofour insurance policies.
A: You can find out thevalue of your collectionby contacting an auctionhouse that specializes inmovie memorabilia. If thevalue is high, you willneed to pay for a writtenproper legal appraisal inorder to add it to your in-
surance policy. Condi-tion, framing and proof ofauthenticity are neededto determine price. Themovie “Mr. Holland’sOpus” is of moderate in-
terest but your collectionshould sell for $1,000 ormore.

Not everyone would want this antique sofa from New Brunswick, Canada. It is a piece ofunique and attractive folk art by a talented maker. It took time to collect and mount all theshells, and a bidder paid almost twice the estimate to buy it for $4,613.
Few things beat sum-mer heat better thanwalking into a comfort-ably chilled air condi-tioned home. Air condi-tioning is often taken forgranted, but sorelymissed when it is notworking. The key to keep-ing cool all summer longis to ensure that air con-ditioning systems arefunctioning properly.
Maintaining an AC unitcan save money and pro-tect homeowners’ invest-ments. Without regularattention, an AC unit willlose its efficiency, need-lessly wasting both ener-gy and money as a result.Poor maintenance alsocan lead to system failurejust when it is neededmost. According to theU.S. Department of Ener-gy, the average lifespan of
an air conditioning unit isabout 15 to 20 years.Home Advisor says home-owners can pay between$500 and $4,000 for cen-tral air conditioning, withthe final cost dependingon the unit, additional in-stallation items, such asductwork, and installa-tion charges. With regu-lar maintenance, home-owners can keep theirunits humming properlyand avoid premature re-placement costs.
So what can homeown-ers expect as it pertainsto air conditioner mainte-nance? The following aresome oft-needed checksand fixes.
• Keep it clean. Vacu-um the fins and coils ofthe AC unit on the exter-nal compressor/con-denser fan with a soft-
bristled brush, advise theexperts at Family Handy-man. This may requireunscrewing the metal boxsurrounding the unit toaccess the fins. Removeany accumulated debristhat may be impeding airflow. Afterward, go insideand change the filter thatis installed with the evap-orator that’s located in acentral duct near the fur-nace. Inspect the filterperiodically to see if it issoiled and needs replace-ment. Timing can varydepending various fac-tors, such as the time ofyear, the accumulation ofdust and whether or notpets live in the home.
• Straighten coil fins.The fins on the condenserare easily bent and thatcan affect the flow of airthrough the coils. If you
cannot easily straightenthem, then consult withan HVAC professional todo so.
• Check the thermo-stat. Ensure that thethermostat is still work-ing properly. You alsomay want to upgrade anold thermostat to a pro-grammable or smart ther-mostat that enables youto remotely set and ad-just the temperature.
• Consider an in-lineduct booster. HVAC pro-fessionals can guide youthrough the advantagesof an in-line duct boosterfor forced-air cooling.This can increase the flowof cool air into a room
that always seems hotterthan the rest. Anotheroption is a vent or regis-ter booster fan that sitson top or replaces a tradi-tional floor or wall regis-ter.
• Deal with condensa-tion. Condensation fromair conditioning coils canpuddle around the fur-nace if the condensatedrain tube is clogged.Clearing it out will helpprevent puddling and theformation of bacteria-laden water in the sys-tem.
Periodic maintenance isnecessary to ensure un-interrupted service on ahome AC unit.

Boating is a rewardinghobby that allows peopleto spend ample time onthe water enjoying thegreat outdoors. Fresh airand boating might gohand in hand, but a dan-ger may be lurking in theair on or around boatsthat can put boaters’health in jeopardy.
According to the U.S.Coast Guard, carbonmonoxide, or CO, can ac-cumulate anywhere in oraround a boat. Inade-quately ventilated canvasenclosures and blockedexhaust outlets are justtwo places where CO canaccumulate. Exhaust alsocan get trapped in en-closed places, potentiallyleading to the accumula-tion of CO.
Fortunately, the USCGnotes that CO poisoningis entirely preventable.Routine maintenance andattentive boat ownershipcan protect boaters and
their passengers from thethreat posed by CO poi-soning.
What are the dangersof CO poisoning?
CO is produced whencarbon-based fuels burn.Such fuels include gaso-line, charcoal or oil, soboat engines are not theonly potential source ofCO poisoning on a boat.Gas generators, cookingranges and space and wa-ter heaters also pose athreat.
CO is dangerous be-cause it can enter thebloodstream through thelungs, preventing thebody from getting the oxy-gen it needs. The USCGnotes that both prolongedexposure to low concen-trations of CO or veryquick exposure to highconcentrations of CO canprove fatal.
What are symptoms ofCO poisoning?
Irritated eyes,
headache, nausea, weak-ness and dizziness aresome of the early symp-toms of CO poisoning.These are easily and oftenmistaken as seasicknesswhen on a boat. Any ofthe aforementionedsymptoms should be ad-dressed immediately. Peo-ple experiencing thesesymptoms should bemoved to a fresh air envi-ronment, observed andgiven oxygen, if neces-sary. Seek medical helpand shut off potentialsources of CO, if possible.Do not write these symp-toms off as simple sea-sickness. Err on the sideof caution, even if you’reunsure if CO poisoning isthe culprit.
Protect yourself andothers from CO
The USCG recommendsall boaters learn whereand how CO can accumu-late on their boats. Main-tain fresh air circulation
throughout the boat at alltimes, running exhaustblowers whenever thegenerator is operating.
When hosting others ontheir boats, boatersshould make sure every-one steers clear of engineand generator exhaustoutlets. Boaters and theirguests should never sit,teak surf or hang on theback deck or swim plat-form while engines arerunning.
The USCG notes thatthe presence of exhaustfumes means CO is pres-ent too. Dissipate fumesimmediately upon detect-ing them.
Boating is a safe andfun activity when boatersmaintain their boats andtake steps to protectthemselves from dangerslike carbon monoxide.More information onboating safety can befound at www.uscgboat-ing.org .

Berries highlightperfect summer saladJune is the season for
berries. Sweet, juicy sum-mer berries are like thehealthy “candy” of thefood world. Not only areberries nutritious, newresearch indicates thateating berries also mayhelp stave off the cogni-tive decline and memoryloss that come with aging.
Data from the long-run-ning Nurse’s HealthStudy shows that womenwho ate blueberriesand/or strawberries de-layed memory decline(from aging) up to 2 1/2years compared withthose who did not eatberries. The womengained this benefit fromconsuming just two ormore servings of blueber-ries and strawberries perweek.
Even if you’re not wor-ried about memory loss,berries still pack ahealthy punch for just afew calories.
Strawberries and blue-berries are rich in antho-cyanins, the pigment inplants that give themtheir dark red or blue col-oring. Anthocyanins helpmove blood into the brainand have been linked to abroad range of healthbenefits, such as visionand heart health.
Strawberries have only22 calories and 5 gramsof carbohydrates, andthey provide 2 grams offiber per half-cup serving.To enjoy them at theirbest, strawberries mustbe handled with care.
To wash strawberries,hold them under gentlyrunning cool water justlong enough to remove
the dirt. Don’t soakstrawberries as they willabsorb water and lose fla-vor. For the best flavor,wash strawberries justbefore you plan to usethem. Strawberries canbe stored in the refrigera-tor for two to three days.
Blackberries have 37calories, 9 grams of car-bohydrates and 4 gramsof fiber in a half cup.Blueberries spoil quickly,so be sure to use or freezethem soon after picking.
Blueberries have 41calories, 10 grams of car-bohydrates and 2 gramsof fiber per half cup. Likeother berries, blueberriesare a good source of vita-min C.
Raspberries have 30calories, 7 grams of car-bohydrates and 4 gramsof fiber for every half cup.Raspberries are very frag-ile and easily damaged. Ifbought fresh, eat themwithin one to two days.Wash raspberries just be-fore you eat them be-cause they can absorbthe water, which will di-lute the taste.
If you want to enjoyfresh fruit year-round,berries can be frozen forlater use. Here are a fewfreezing tips:
• Add 3/4 cup sugar toone quart of whole straw-berries and mix thor-oughly. Let stand 15 min-utes and then pack intocontainers, leaving head-space for expansion. Sealand freeze.
• Blueberries, raspber-ries and blackberries canbe frozen whole.
• Don’t wash blueber-ries before freezing, as itwill make for a tougherskin. Wash just beforeyou’re going to use them.
You can enjoy sweet,delicious summer berrieson their own, or try someof the many ways to addberries to a healthful diet.Sprinkle them on cereal,add them to yogurt, enjoyberry toppings on pan-cakes or use them in sal-ads, like this recipe forSummer Berry, Pecanand Goat Cheese Salad.This dish showcases thesweetness of the berrieswhile providing thecrunch and smoothnessof the pecans and goatcheese. It’s the perfectsummer salad!

Steps to take before leaving recyclables at the curbRecycling will play a vital role in the
future of the planet. As climate changecontinues to threaten the long-termhealth of the planet, the necessity to re-cycle and reuse only becomes moreparamount.
According to the Environmental Pro-tection Agency, decomposing garbage,such as that which finds its way intolandfills, generates methane. Methaneis considerably more effective at trap-ping heat in the Earth’s atmospherethan carbon dioxide and contributesheavily to climate change. By recyclingitems rather than discarding them, peo-ple can play an active and effective roleat combatting climate change. In addi-
tion, recycling helps cut back on the re-lease of harmful greenhouse gases thatare produced during the manufacturingprocess.
Community recycling programs havebeen around for decades in many com-munities, and these programs are onlyas effective as the people who recycle.Learning how to treat common recy-clables before depositing them into des-ignated recycling bins can help peopleensure their efforts are having the im-pact they intended.
• Rinse jars, bottles and cans. Itemsthat are not rinsed before they’re placedin recycling cans run the risk of contam-inating everything within. While each
community program is different, recy-cling bins deemed contaminated may beredirected to landfills. Residential WasteSystems, a Connecticut-based trash andrecycling removal firm, recommendsrinsing all jars, bottles and cans thatcontain visible residue before depositingthem in the recycling bin.
• Learn which items can be recy-cled. Contact your local recycling firmfor a list of items that can and cannotbe recycled. Many people unknowinglydeposit items that cannot be recycledinto their recycling bins, potentiallycontaminating their bins and renderingthem more likely to end up in a landfillthan a recycling center. By contacting
your recycling center in advance, youcan reduce the risk that all your hardrecycling work will be for naught.
• Inspect paper products. If variouspaper products are accepted by your lo-cal recycling center, you must still in-spect them before placing them in yourrecycling bin. For example, a pizza boxmay be recyclable, but likely isn’t if it’scovered in grease. Inspect each poten-tially recyclable paper product to makesure there’s nothing present that mightlead to it being designated as contami-nated.
Recycling is a simple step many peo-ple can take to promote the long-termhealth of the planet.
Now Here’s a Tipby JoAnn Derson
• With summer storm season uponus, I feel like it’s a good time for someadvice. In addition to having a gallon ofwater per person per day for at leastthree days for drinking, cooking and mi-nor sanitation, fill bathtubs or even alined garbage can with water to be ableto manually flush your toilet. If you liveon well water, your pump will not work;your water lines may be cut off or com-promised. Be prepared. – JoAnn
• “High winds from storms can findtheir way though a crack in your home’s
defenses and put an incredible strainon the house. Keep both interior and ex-terior doors and your home’s windowsclosed for the duration of any storm.This includes any smaller access win-dows and garage windows. It helps tokeep the pressure compartmentalized.So, don’t open your door to see howwindy it is, because it might let thestorm tear off your roof!” – V.R. in NorthCarolina
• “Major storm headed your way?When service goes down, I know I cele-brate the moment the lights come back
on, but electronics aren’t always so joy-ful. A simple overhead light or tablelamp will be able to alert you that thepower is back on, but it’s unlikely to befried by surges that sometimes precedea full return of service. Unplugnonessentials to protect them frompower surges.” – A.A. in Florida
• “If you own a home in an earth-quake-prone area, be sure you knowhow to turn off gas lines. Find the toolyou need to do it, and keep it in a spe-cial place, preferably right where you’duse it.” – L.W. in Oregon
• Fridge out? Try this hurricane hack:
Put the contents in your washing ma-chine, packed with ice. As the ice melts,the water drains away rather thandrowning the contents. You can addmore ice or just keep it closed and cov-ered to get away with a day or two if youinsulate well.

Stay safe on the road this summerFive warm weather tire safety tips
(Family Features) –When it comes to stayingsafe on the roads –whether you’re travelingcross-country or justacross town – routinelychecking the condition ofyour tires can be impera-tive. While variables likeroad and weather condi-tions can also impactsafety, it’s important toremember your tires arethe only thing betweenyour vehicle and theroad.
During the summermonths, high heat andhot roadways combinedwith normal rolling, turn-ing and braking con-tribute to potential safetyhazards, particularly onworn or improperly inflat-ed tires. Before you hitthe road this summer,consider these tips fromthe experts at your neigh-borhood Discount Tirestore to help keep yousafe.
1. Check your tread.Tread depth refers to theamount of sufficienttread on a tire, which im-pacts handling, tractionand your vehicle’s safestopping distance. Astires wear and treaddepth is reduced, theirability to perform in ad-verse conditions such asrain can be compro-mised. While most newcars start with 11/32inch tread, you can usethe penny test to checkyour tread depth at home
by sticking a penny up-side-down in a treadgroove. If Lincoln’s entirehead is visible, your treadis worn beyond what tireexperts recommend assafe – less than 4/32 inch– and it’s time to replaceyour tires.
2. Accurately measurepressure. Low tire pres-sure can lead to poorhandling and gasmileage, excessive wearand the possibility of tirefailure. Remember tocheck your tire pressureat least once a month, es-pecially before any long-distance trips, as the im-pacts of bumps and turnsfrom everyday use canlead to normal air loss.For the most accuratereading, check your tireswhen the car is cool asdriving can heat up thetires and lead to an inac-curate reading. You canfind the manufacturer’srecommended tire pres-sure on a sticker in yourcar’s doorjamb or in yourowner’s manual. If youneed assistance, look fora store like Discount Tire,which offers complimen-tary air checks and tiresafety inspections.
3. Rotate often. Tireswear differently depend-ing on their location onthe vehicle. Routinely ro-tating your tires spreadswear evenly, which helpsmaximize their handling,traction and stopping ca-pabilities. To increase
longevity and keep yourride as smooth as possi-ble, rotate your tiresevery 6,000 miles or ear-lier if irregular or unevenwear develops.
4. Inspect your trunk.Some newer vehicles nowinclude tire inflation kitscomplete with puncture-coating sealants and aircompressors, or run-flattires that allow for con-tinued driving with no airpressure for a short peri-od of time rather than atraditional spare tire.Check your trunk to seewhat your vehicle con-tains and make sure youhave a roadside assis-tance plan in case ofemergency.
5. Avoid overloading.Overloading your vehiclecan have a similar impacton your tires as drivingon underinflated tires.The combination of warmroads and overloading,which is common duringsummer travel season,can lead to your tires po-tentially overheating andfailing. Before loadingyour car, check the man-ufacturer’s loading rec-ommendation, which canbe found in the owner’smanual or on the door-jamb sticker.
