INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GREYHOUNDS

Some retired racing greyhounds may exhibit behaviors typical of puppies. The Greyhound Project notes that, thanks to their early training, retired racing greyhounds have never been without the company of other greyhounds. As a result, when spending time alone for the first time in their lives, retired greyhounds may make up for lost time as a puppy by exhibiting puppy-like behaviors such as chewing. This need not cause alarm in new greyhound parents, as the dogs typically outgrow the behavior very quickly.

PAW’S CORNER

Stray Cats Take Out Local Chipmunk Population

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Recently, a pack of cats have started wandering on my property, especially at dawn and dusk. Two of them are wearing flea collars, with no ID tag; the rest have no identification. I don’t approach or feed them. Some of them might be my neighbors’ cats, but I don’t know. Since they started prowling my three acres, the chipmunks and birds that used to frequent the yard have disappeared. How do I deal with this cat problem? -- Tracy in upstate New York

DEAR TRACY: Contact your local municipality -- city, town or county -- and visit their website to find out if they have an animal control officer. If they do, contact them and explain the problem.

Now, most rural areas have few to no animal control officers assigned. So you may be told that they only respond to calls where the animal poses a threat -- aggressive dogs, bears, rabid raccoons and so on. But reporting the cat pack is still important. Furthermore, ask them what resources exist in your area for dealing with stray cats.

Here’s a few other tips:

-- Is there a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program active in the area? Contact them for advice.

-- Ask your nearby neighbors if any of the cats belong to them. If so, ask politely if they can keep the cats indoors.

-- Take a photo of the cat pack and post it on social media. Ask if any of the cats have been reported missing.

-- Contact local shelters for advice. ey probably won’t take in feral cats, but you can bring in friendly and approachable cats that don’t have identification. Purchase a cat carrier so you can safely transport them.

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.

Sponsored By: Enjoy a CLEANER CARPET this summer season!

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.

STAY SAFE WHEN GARDENING IN HOT WEATHER

Gardening is widely considered as relaxing a hobby as it is rewarding. Although gardening when temperatures are mild, such as in spring and fall, can be relaxing, gardening can be much more physically taxing and even dangerous when temperatures rise during the dog days of summer. Gardens need tending even when temperatures outside are especially hot, so gardeners must take steps to protect their health when working in their gardens during the summer.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE REPLACING

Vinyl or aluminum may be best. Lumber is farmed rather quickly today and solid wood products may not stand up to elements as well as wood used a half-century ago. To avoid rot, vinyl windows often are an affordable and durable choice. Homeowners also have the option of wood windows with aluminum cladding,which are long-lasting.

COVID-19 CAN CAUSE KIDNEY INJURY, YET MOST AMERICANS DON’T KNOW IT

(NAPSI)—According to a recent Harris Poll,too many people don’t know all they should about the dangers of coronavirus—particularly how it can affect the kidneys. COVID-19, it seems, attacks more than just the lungs.

In the new National Kidney Foundation-Harris Poll Survey on COVID-19 and Kidney Health, the findings show low levels of awareness on both the risk of developing an acute kidney injury as a result of COVID-19 and of the long-term effects of kidney damage.

“A significant number of patients going into the hospital to be treated for COVID-19 are coming out as kidney patients,” said Kevin Longino, CEO, National Kidney Foundation and a kidney transplant patient himself. “We believe this may be a looming healthcare crisis that will put a greater strain on hospitals, dialysis clinics and patients,for whom chronic kidney disease will be a lasting remnant of the coronavirus crisis—even after a vaccine is, hopefully, found.”

Acute kidney injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden episode of kidney failure or kidney damage that happens within a few hours or a few days, and is happening in about 15 percent of all hospitalized coronavirus patients, many of whom now need dialysis.

If a patient ends up in the intensive care unit (ICU) their odds worsen; reports indicate that one in five intensive-care patients have lost kidney function. COVID-19 will likely result in a higher number of Americans with chronic kidney disease and/or kidney failure than before the pandemic. Once kidneys fail, dialysis or a transplant is needed to survive.

Hospital shortages

Hospitals aren’t prepared for the expected increase of kidney patients. In hot spots of the outbreak there are shortages of dialysis equipment, supplies and nurses properly trained to administer dialysis in the ICU. Most Americans, according to the Harris Poll, are concerned and want the federal government to step in.

Further, the Harris Poll found that the vast majority of Americans want the federal government to provide more resources toward diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease, and significantly increased funding for kidney research because of kidney-related illness from COVID-19.

More poll results

The poll also found:

• Only 17 percentAmericans are aware of acute kidney injury as a result of COVID-19;

• Only 46 percent of Americans are aware that COVID-19 will likely increase the number of Americans with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure;

• 58 percent of Americans are aware that COVID-19 can cause acute respiratory failure;

• 54 percent know it can cause pneumonia;

• 52 percent of those surveyed know COVID-19 can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Did you know?

While it might be tempting to lower mower blades when summertemperaturesreachtheir hottest, it is possible to cut grass too short. Homeowners who want to cut back on the time they spend mowing their lawns under the hot summer sun should avoid lowering their mower blades too low, as doing so can cause significant damage to the lawn. Lawns that have been cut too low are less capable of surviving droughtandareunlikelytothrive. When grass is cut too short, the stem tissue from the grass is exposed, and that exposure can lead to unsightly grass that turns yellow or brown. Grass that is cut too short also may suffer from weaker roots, which in turn makes the grass weaker and less likely to grow in strong. In addition, weaker grass is more susceptible to weed growth, which can be both a nuisance and an eyesore. When mowing, homeowners should remove no more than one-third of the grass blade. Mowing at this height will promote strong roots and protect the grass when the weather gets especially hot in the summer.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE CONVERTING AN ATTIC

Access: Access is another aspect that must adhere to local safety guidelines. Many attics are accessible only through pulldown ladders, but that will have to change if homeowners repurpose their attic spaces. A staircase that complies with local laws will need to be installed, and contractors can work with homeowners to build that and estimate the cost. Homeowners who simply want to put desks in their attics without going with full-fledged conversions are urged to adhere to local access requirements anyway, as they’re intended to ensure residents can safely escape attics in the case

MORCILLA CON SETAS (BLOOD SAUSAGE WITH MUSHROOMS, SPRING PEAS AND MINT OIL)

Serves 4

1 pound morcilla blood sausage

1 pound mushrooms, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, slivered

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons white wine

1 cup shelled spring peas

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons mint oil

Mint Oil

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup chopped mint

Pinch of salt

Cut the blood sausage into 12 slices. Sauté the mushrooms in olive oil with garlic, salt and pepper for 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook for 2 more minutes. Boil the peas for 2 minutes and drain. When mushrooms are done, remove from heat and stir in the peas.

In a cast-iron skillet, sear the morcilla in a dry pan for 2 minutes per side. Arrange the slices of morcilla down the middle of a platter. Surround with mushroom/pea mixture and drizzle the plate with the mint oil.

For the mint oil: In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat olive oil to warm. Remove from heat and add the mint and a small pinch of salt. Allow to rest for 1 hour. Drain through a sieve. Reserve extra mint oil for other uses, such as vinaigrette.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN TRAVELING ALONE

Aim for connectivity. Find out if you will have mobile phone service and what extra charges there will be for roaming, if any. Being able to call home and keep loved ones apprised is important.

AT-HOME NUTRITION AND COOKING WITH KIDS

RECIPES FOR FUN: If you’re preparing a meal, it could be a good time to teach children of reading age how to review a recipe. Evaluating ingredients to learn how food transforms from raw to cooked or how a dish is created can help kids learn kitchen skills.

FOOD GROUPS FOCUS: Get kids involved in making dinner by setting a rule that each food group must be represented. Give them a warmup activity by asking which food groups are found in family favorites like chicken soup, lasagna or meatloaf. Asking kids to guess which ingredients are used in these dishes and identifying which food group each ingredient belongs to can help them understand dietary balance.

The role small businesses play in thriving local communities cannot be overstated. Vibrant downtown areas that feature independently owned shopping, dining and entertainment options help distinguish communities from surrounding towns and generate tax revenue that is ultimately funneled back into the community.

Only time will tell if the Delta variant puts more small businesses in jeopardy. In the meantime, residents can embrace four unique strategies to help locally owned establishments stay afloat.

Offer pro bono professional expertise. Successful professionals can help small business owners by offering their services free of charge.

Help small businesses strengthen their digital presence. Individuals with web design and e-commerce experience can help small businesses revamp their websites and improve their online shopping offerings.

Support legislation that benefits small businesses. Many small businesses would not have survived the pandemic without government assistance programs.

Spread the word. Share stories about positive interactions with a given business using social media platforms.

There’s a great deal individuals can do to support small businesses as they continue to recover from and confront the COVID-19 pandemic.

BANISH MOSQUITOES FROM YOUR YARD

Time spent in the backyard on spring and summer afternoons and evenings contributes heavily to the popularity of these times of year. Many homeowners go to great lengths to make their outdoor living spaces as luxurious as possible, only to be bothered by uninvited and bothersome guests: mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are not just pesky nuisances, but they’re also harmful. According to the American Mosquito Control Association, more than one million people across the globe die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Such diseases include malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus.

The AMCA notes that many of the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes can be linked to travel to endemic areas. But mosquitoes in North America can still be harmful, and bites may result in severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to mosquito saliva.

DID YOU KNOW? When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

YOUR FIRST FILLING

If you’re receiving a filling for the first time, you may be wondering what to expect, if it will hurt, and how long it will take? Most simple fillings require an hour-long appointment. The dentist will begin by using a topical numbing agent to numb the area before injecting an anesthetic numbing agent. This crucial step ensures you will not feel any pain during the treatment. Next, depending on the cavity’s location, you may have a rubber dam inserted into your mouth to help the dentist better access the treatment area. Then the dentist will use either a drill, laser, or air abrasion instrument to remove decay from the tooth. After the area is sufficiently cleaned, the cavity is filled.

At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we will always explain to you any

procedures that may be part of the treatment plan we design to meet your dental needs. We offer this column in the hopes of educating the general public about the benefits of oral health. If we can help, either by answering questions or by providing comprehensive dental care, please call us at 585.343.4246. Stateof-the-art dentistry and a dedicated professional dental team make 6 Batavia City Centre the ideal place to achieve optimum oral health. We look forward to hearing from you.

P.S. Dental filling material options include composite resin, amalgam, ionomers, gold, or ceramics.

WHAT MAY BE BEHIND A LOSS OF SMELL

Allergies or a cold. A cold or allergies are two conditions that irritate the delicate lining inside of the nose, interrupting olfactory receptors. In addition, swelling of the nasal membranes likely also plays a role in loss of smell, which is common with respiratory illnesses and allergic rhinitis and chronic sinus infections, according to Healthline.

Osteoporosis Screening for Men Remains Controversial

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I are confused about the guidelines concerning when older men should be screened for osteoporosis. All the information seems to suggest that it is only needed for men over 70 who have had a fracture. In my husband’s case, he was only told to get a DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan after he had back pain and several compression fractures of the thoracic spine (up to 70%), at the age of 72. His T-score was -2.8 for his spine.

I can’t help feeling that because he is male, weighs 200 pounds, has an active lifestyle and was previously 6 feet, 2 inches tall, the issue of osteoporosis just never came up during his yearly primary care visits (even though his height had decreased since at least 2019, and he’s now only 6 feet tall). This is a potentially life-threatening condition for older women and men, but the risks for women seem to get all the attention. What’s the reluctance to order a simple, fast, painless, not-too-expensive test to screen men earlier? -- B.W.

ANSWER: In general, screening tests (by definition, a test done on a person with no symptoms of the condition) are done when there is good evidence that the screening will lead to an improved outcome in the screened group compared to an unscreened group. The data in women is strong enough that all women over 65 and women younger than 65 with additional risks for osteoporosis should be screened with a DEXA scan, but there is not strong enough data to support screening in men.

Osteoporosis screening in men is controversial. While one of the most influential groups does not recommend screening in all men over 70, some groups do, despite an absence of proven benefit. They base this recommendation on the fact that, as you say, it’s not a particularly dangerous test (the radiation dose is small), nor is it expensive (the average cost is $150, but can be higher in some states). One major downside of testing in general is that no screening test is perfect. As such, an unexpected finding of osteoporosis in a man requires that the screening test be repeated to be sure the test result is accurate.

Even though men are not always recommended for screening, there are some medical findings that should prompt a test. One is a loss of height -- losing more than 1.5 inches of height should have prompted a DEXA scan. (Strictly speaking, this is no longer a screening; it’s an evaluation of the cause of an unexpected medical finding.)

A low testosterone level (either by itself -- hypogonadism -- or as a result of medical treatment for prostate cancer); primary hyperparathyroidism; inflammatory bowel disease; and longterm use of prednisone and similar drugs are all known risk factors for osteoporosis that should at least trigger a discussion of a DEXA scan. Similarly, the finding of osteoporosis in a man should prompt consideration of the underlying reason behind it, which could include any of the risk factors listed above.

HOW TO KEEP OUTDOOR LIVING AREAS SAFE

Use an appropriate extension cord. String lights above outdoor living spaces like decks and patios can create a warm, relaxing nighttime vibe. Those lights need to be plugged in, which increases the risk for electrical accidents.When utilizing an extension cord outdoors, never use a cord designated for indoor use. Outdoor extension cords are better insulated than cords made for indoor use. That insulation provides better protection against the elements, including sunlight, changes in temperature and moisture. When using an extension cord outdoors, make sure the cord is secured and not left lying on a deck or patio where it can easily become a tripping hazard.

OUTDOOR MOVIE NIGHT ESSENTIALS

Theater-style popcorn maker: Kernels, oil and heat are the perfect combination for producing movie-theater-worthy popcorn. Place plenty of reusable popcorn containers nearby so guests can bring their bounty back to their seats. Canned beverages with straws also are portable and pair well with popcorn for a great movie experience.

Fine examples of today’s youths Saturday, August 19th there were 6 young women at Lehigh and East Henrietta Rd advertising a car wash at the Rush-Henrietta High School. They were energetic, polite and fun. I went to the high school and the rest of the group and the adult in charge were just as fun. As a resident of Henrietta I was so happy to see young people volunteering for the school. Thank you all. You put a big smile on a cranky old woman’s face. Thank you, you made my day.

Wedding Showers

The tradition of a wedding shower is to help a future bride acquire the necessary items needed to set up her new home. Today, more and more couples live together for years prior to getting married. What is the purpose of a wedding shower when most couples already have everything they need? As a guest, we are required to buy an expensive inconsequential item from the long list on the registry, and then spend an afternoon watching the gifts slowly get opened as if they have no idea what they are about to receive. Wouldn’t it make more sense to forgo the expensive shower expo and just go out and buy the gifts you preselected on the registry? Just food for thought.

Salvatore’s Pizza Family Introduces Innovative “I LOVE SCHOOL” Program to Celebrate 45th Anniversary

In a heartfelt gesture to mark their 45th anniversary, Salvatore’s Pizza Family has unveiled the “I Love School” program. A beloved fixture in the community since its inception as a high school home economics project in 1978, Salvatore’s Pizza is taking this momentous occasion to give back to the community that has supported them throughout the years. e program aims to foster a spirit of appreciation for education and hard-working educators by providing classrooms and students with incentives that highlight positive behavior, acts of kindness, and academic excellence.

e “I Love School” program is a testament to the pizza chain’s commitment to community engagement and its dedication to making a positive impact on local education. Ashley Maria King, President of Business Operations, expressed the company’s enthusiasm, saying, “We are always looking for new ways to get involved in our community, and with it being back-to-school season, we were trying to find a way to help teachers the best we can.”

e heart of the program lies in classroom nominations, where teachers, parents, and even students can nominate deserving classrooms to be part of this initiative. Nominations continue until September 30th, with the aim of selecting classrooms from every school in Monroe and surrounding counties.

Classrooms selected will win Free SuperSlice Cards to be redeemed for delicious slices at any Salvatore’s Full Menu location. e excitement doesn’t end there; select classrooms will also receive Free Large Pizza Cards, facilitating a Back-To-School Pizza Party sure to add a dash of excitement to the new academic year.

King shares that the program’s goal is to “donate SuperSlice cards to at least one classroom for every single school in Monroe County and surrounding counties. We hope to do more than one classroom per school, but this is what we are going to initially aim for.”

Kayla Kent-Moreira, President of Restaurant Operations, spoke about the potential of these rewards, explaining, “Teachers can use Salvatore’s SuperSlice cards as a gi for students, or to use as class rewards for attendance, good grades, or acts of kindness.” is innovative approach brightens the classroom atmosphere and reinforces positive student behavior.

Salvatore’s Pizza is deeply rooted in the Rochester community, and this program reflects its commitment to making a difference. e company has a rich history of engaging with the community through various initiatives, such as supporting local charities, including the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, Camp Good Days & Special Times, and NEQALS EMT, and Rochester’s Do the Right ing initiative. Salvatore’s franchises sponsor a variety of community events and youth sports organizations. Salvatore’s is also known to buy out deserving Girl Scout troop cookie inventory to give away, and all locations offer free pizzas to veterans and active military personnel on Veterans Day. During COVID, Salvatore’s started a Feed Rochester campaign to donate pizzas to local hospitals and all first responder locations as well as nursing homes and homeless shelters.

“We are a local business, born & raised in Rochester, NY --and we do whatever we can to try to help our local community,” emphasizes CEO/Founder, Salvatore SoccerSam Fantauzzo. “We just want to put a smile on someone’s face and pizza in their hand.”

With the “I Love School” program, Salvatore’s Pizza Family reiterates its commitment to nurturing the potential of the next generation and fostering a sense of community that has been at the heart of their journey since the beginning. As nominations roll in and classrooms eagerly await the chance to participate, this initiative will leave an indelible mark on the educational landscape of Monroe and surrounding counties.

For more information about the “I Love School” program and to nominate deserving classrooms, please visit the official Salvatore’s Pizza website: www.salvatores.com/iloveschool.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the American Cancer Society, the average age at the time of diagnosis of testicular cancer is 33. Young and middle-aged men are the most likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer, though the ACS notes that 14 percent of cases occur in children, teens and men over the age of 55.The ACS estimates that roughly 440 men will die of testicular cancer in 2021. Though that’s troubling, testicular cancer can usually be treated successfully. In fact, the ACS notes that a man’s lifetime risk of dying from the disease is one in 5,000. However, the incidence rate of testicular cancer has been increasing in many countries, including the United States, for several decades. The reasons for that are unknown, though the rise in incidences underscores the need for men, especially young men, to discuss testicular cancer, including its risk factors and symptoms, with their physicians.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK

Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the average worker spent 26 minutes traveling to work, the most recent year for which the USCB has data. That marksanearly20percentincrease in average commute time since 1980. Things aren’t much better in Canada, where the National Household Survey found that the average commuter spends just over 25 minutes traveling to work each day. People who commute via public transportation can use the time they spend going to and from the office to answer emails, review schedules or even work on projects. Commuters who drive themselves to work can consider switching to public transportation or, if possible, move closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in their vehicles, where they have no choice but to be unproductive.

CAREGIVERS, TAKE CARE: HOW TO KEEP YOUR CAREGIVING DUTIES FROM OVERWHELMING YOU (NAPSI)—Caregiving

for a loved one can be a fulfilling, yet overwhelming experience. Forty million Americans provide care for their aging loved one each year, and spend an average of 24.4 hours per week doing so. Try as one may to create a balanced lifestyle, it’s a role that easily crowds out other important areas of life, including personal and professional relationships, and generates high levels of stress that could lead to serious health problems long-term if not managed.

Caregivers should feel empowered to adopt the following tactics to lighten the burden, and achieve a renewed sense of control:

Remember your own health: It’s important to not lose sight of your physical and mental health during particularly stressful times. Improve your energy level with smart eating choices: plan easy, healthy recipes that take less than 30 minutes, schedule grocery deliveries, or subscribe to meal kits. And, committing to just 10 minutes a day of moving your body will help you feel energized, while boosting your mental health. Exercise is also a good way to engage with your loved one—join them for a walk or even a water aerobics class.

Be transparent with your employer about your role as a caregiver: Burning the midnight oil to meet your caregiver and professional responsibilities doesn’t do you, your loved one, or your career any favors. Speaking candidly about the pressures you face as a caregiver with your employer can help relieve stress in the long run. Discuss options such as flexible work hours or working remotely, and set realistic expectations for yourself.

Leverage technology: Utilize tools that offer you visibility into your loved one’s health status and simplify the complexities of coordinating care. These solutions allow you to refocus your attention on the key moments that matter most with your loved ones,while offering the peace of mind of knowing your loved one will have 24/7 access to help. For example, Philips Cares is a mobile application that enables you to easily form and activate a care circle of trusted family and friends, access meaningful insights into your loved one’s wellbeing, and manage your Philips Lifeline personal alert service. It helps you and your care circle be there for your aging loved ones, easing and enriching their aging journey.
