• Are you embarrassed to wear sandals or go barefoot because of thick, yellow nails?
• Now is the time to get treatment. If le untreated, fungal toenails can: affect your immune system, cause recurring athlete’s foot, infected ingrown toenails (requiring surgery) and discomfort wearing shoes, not to mention their unsightly appearance!
• Patients with diabetes, poor circulation and numbness to their feet can develop more serious problems.
• ere are also safer new topical medications available to help cure fungal toenails.
• A simple one-a-day pill for 3 months will usually cure fungal toenails within 6-9 months from the start of treatment.
DEAR DR. ROACH: Am I a doomed man? When I was 25, I survived a battle with testicular cancer.The good news is that 45 years later, after two kids and three grandkids, I’m in good health. The only medicine I take is gabapentin for peripheral neuropathy that was caused by the chemotherapy drugs I received during the cancer treatment. One or more of these drugs caused neuropathy in my feet.
A neurologist prescribed 800 mg three times a day,and I took this for about 15 years. As I got older, it became 800 mg four times a day for the past 20 years. As I talk to people, they seem shocked that I’m still alive after taking so much gabapentin. But I’ve never experienced any known side effects from it.
I have read that the long-term use of gabapentin can increase the chances of dementia. Are there specific things that I should have my regular doctor test me for because of my long-term use of gabapentin? -- C.P.
ANSWER: Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers because it is sensitive to both radiation and chemotherapy. However, both of these modalities can lead to problems years after the treatment was successful.
For many years, platinum-based chemotherapy has been one of the mainstays for advanced testicular cancer. Painful peripheral neuropathy, especially in the hands and feet, is a common side effect. Gabapentin is a commonly used medication to relieve pain from damage to the peripheral nerves that occurs in diabetes or with chemotherapy.
I don’t often see doses as high as you are taking, but they are certainly used. In a seminal trial on pain following a shingles infection (post-herpetic neuralgia), the target dose of gabapentin was 900 mg four times daily. It often takes weeks or months to build up to this dose so that people can tolerate it, but it is very effective. The most common side effect is sedation, but increasing the dose slowly reduces this effect.
• Treatment now may result in clear, thinner nails for the year 2025.
• Call now for an appointment to determine if you’re a candidate for this newer treatment.
Celebrating 30 years in practice.

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME
The evidence of gabapentin and dementia is mixed, with two studies that looked at hundreds of thousands of people and came to completely different conclusions. In the study suggesting that there was a dementia risk, it was strongest in younger people.
I conclude that you aren’t doomed. While most authorities don’t suggest screening tests for dementia, there are some memory and cognitive tests that are easy to do for people who have concerns about their memory, or those whose doctors are concerned about a possible change in function. If there are abnormalities, a person can then be referred to a memory expert.
DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you discussed IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome). I have IBS-D and had very serious episodes for several years. The cramping was enough to keep me in bed for two to three days. The episodes started happening more frequently three years ago and occurred every three to four weeks.
I read that yogurt can help,so I began to eat plain yogurt every day (although I added fruit and granola). I haven’t had an episode in two-and-a-half years! Why isn’t this suggested by doctors? The change has been amazing. -- K.V.
ANSWER: I am very pleased that you had such great results. Yogurt is often recommended due to the live bacteria in it, which is thought to be beneficial for the gut. Unfortunately, my experience (like most trials) has shown that it doesn’t help the majority of people. The lactose (milk sugar) is problematic for many IBS sufferers as well.
Still, it may be worth a try, and I agree with eating plain yogurt.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
Bad breath, also called halitosis, is caused by the bacteria that grow in our mouths on bits of food that get stuck between teeth. The bacteria release sulfur compounds that cause your breath to smell bad. Contrary to common belief, you can’t counteract bad breath by using mouthwash: you must brush for two minutes twice a day and floss daily. In addition to regular brushing, daily flossing is the best way to avoid bad breath because it removes food particles from in between teeth. Certain pungent foods such as onions and garlic also cause bad breath because their oils are carried into the lungs and then recycled into your mouth through the respiratory system.
At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, our purpose in presenting this column is to exhibit the virtues of professional care as well as diligent home care in achieving and maintaining a
healthy, vibrant smile. Through a combination of proven techniques and innovative technology, plus communication and compassionate concern, we attempt to move our patients toward an optimum state of oral health. When was your last dental checkup? Now is a good time to schedule an appointment for comprehensive dental care, including help with bad breath, helpful dietary information, cleanings, restorations, cosmetic work, or gum disease treatment. Call us at 6 Batavia City Centre, 585.343.4246.
P.S. You cannot determine whether you have bad breath by breathing into your cupped hands. Talking, rather than breathing, brings odors from the back of your mouth to the front.

ANSWERS TO COMMON PET FOSTERING QUESTIONS
Who can I reach out to? The animal care resource Great Pet Care says municipal shelters, nonprofit shelters and nonprofit animal rescue groups typically have fostering programs. Rescue groups tend to have more time and resources to provide temporary pet parents with more compatible animal matches.

My neighbor yells at her dog. Is it abuse?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Every morning, my next-door neighbor walks her dog past my house. Every morning, she berates her dog, calling him an idiot and a bad dog, especially after picking up his poo. I cannot see the dog doing anything wrong, so I don’t know why she’s constantly yelling at him. I know it’s affecting him,though -- he has his tail between his legs most of the time.Is there anything I can do for that dog? -- Bill in Oshkosh,Wisconsin
DEAR BILL: That’s hard to watch -- emotional abuse can be as damaging to an animal as physical abuse.
Strong verbal correction is OK in obedience training when you need a dog to stop doing something immediately. But it should be limited to a firm “No!” and a quick tug on the leash if necessary -- followed by proper corrective training.
When an owner simply berates the dog and takes out their anger verbally on them, it isn’t training. It doesn’t correct their behavior. Behavioral issues often get worse, not better. And the mixed signals and negative feedback that the dog constantly receives can cause trust issues that never fully go away.
What can you do as an outside observer? Rescues or animal control likely won’t intervene in a simple case of yelling at a dog. If you feel safe talking to the owner, try starting a conversation with them. You may be able to glean more info about why they are yelling at the dog, and you might be able to give training advice.
However, you should also observe and document the situation. Write down the dog’s physical condition and behavior and note if they deteriorate. If you see physical abuse from the owner, note the date, time and place and, contact animal control.

2025 marks the bicentennial of both Orleans County (April 1825) and the Erie Canal (10/26/1825). Clarendon historian, Melissa Ierlan, researched and shared with the community the significance of oxen in the development of Western NY and Orleans County. According to Ierlan, “oxen were the backbone of pioneer life.”
“Aswecelebrate200yearsof
OrleansCounty[andtheErie Canal],wehonornotjustthe pioneerswhoshapedourtowns, butalsotheoxenthatmade itallpossible.Theirstrength, endurance,andunwavering reliabilityareafittingtribute toourcounty’srichhistory.”
MELISSA IERLAN
e Orleans County Bicentennial Committee has been working hard to bring anniversary events and activities to the community throughout the year. e committee includes County Historian, Catherine Cooper, as chair, with representatives from government officials, museum directors, the Cornell Cooperative Extension, historians, and the tourism department.
e committee chose the ox to be the celebration’s official mascot because “oxen were critical for the fledgling county, pulling wagons across rough terrain, helping to clear trees, dig the Erie Canal and provide the muscle for taming the land,” according to Orleans County Tourism (OCT).
According to the Orleans County Historical Association (OCHA), 200 years ago, what is now Orleans County was considered “a swampy wilderness” also known as “the sick country” due to the illnesses that were prevalent among early settlers.
e first settlers traveled here from the east, o en taking weeks-long journeys with ox-drawn wagons and sleds. Oxen were considered better than horses maneuvering on the “rugged, untamed land” with dense forests that was Orleans County at the time. e oxen then “helped turn the wilderness into farmland, helping clear thick forests, plow fields, and transport goods.” Historians across the region note the first settlers to the area used oxen for a variety of purposes in their new land, so it’s fitting that the creature symbolizes early settlement.
Ierlan says, “ e pioneers who settled Orleans County arrived with determination, resilience, and a vision for a better future. But they didn’t do it alone. e ox was their companion, their lifeline, and their source of strength… As we celebrate 200 years of Orleans County [and the Erie Canal], we honor not just the pioneers who shaped our towns, but also the oxen that made it all possible. eir strength, endurance, and unwavering reliability are a fitting tribute to our county’s rich history.”
To celebrate the oxen of Orleans County, local artists and organizations are coming together for the Oxen of Orleans public art project, featuring life-size fiberglass ox figures to be displayed as a public art trail across the county. e figures will “celebrate OrleansCounty’shistory,landmarks,andculturalpride,”according to OCT. Stacey Kirby Steward painted the first finished ox, named “Orly the Ox,” and Orly was displayed at Medina’s and Albion’s holiday events in November and December. Now, Orly resides at the Hoag Library in Albion until the official Oxen of Orleans trail opens, Lynne Menz says.
Also in progress is the Bicentennial Quilt project, what will be a 70”x70” quilt featuring the county’s ten towns cra ed by local quilters who aim to make a quilt that looks like one from 200 years ago but incorporates modern elements (machine embroidering for the town names and the years they established). is quilt will be unveiled at the April bicentennial celebration in Albion.
e Erie Canal was the longest human-made waterway and “was celebrated widely as an engineering marvel and technological achievement” (OCT). Medina’s Culvert Rd. is even featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not as the only place where a road runs under the canal. Canal towns in Orleans County have rich histories of their own and agritourism in the area stands strong.
Happy Bicentennial, Orleans County and Erie Canal!

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that occurs when a person loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both. Though the disease is most often associated with women over 50, anyone can suffer from osteoporosis, which weakens bones and can make them more susceptible to breaks.
By Matilda Charles
A small recent survey revealed that 51% of the retired senior respondents are considering going back to work, also known as “unretiring.” The reason, of course, won’t be a great surprise: They need to go back to work because the cost of everything is going up. The amount of money they’re trying to earn is $500 per month on average.
To be considered before you rush into unretirement:
-- If you’re collecting Social Security and are under full retirement age, your benefit amount might be reduced while you’re earning that extra income. After you reach full retirement age, you’ll be able to work and not have your benefit amount reduced.
-- Your full retirement age depends on your month and year of birth. See the charts on the Social Security website (www.ssa.gov) to determine your full retirement age.
-- If you’ve been retired, consider if you’re ready to make that adjustment to your life that returning to work would bring. It might make the difference between seeking a part-time job as opposed to working full time.
-- If you plan on going back to work and need to provide a resume, don’t use a resume you created years ago. Have a resume service do it for you, if possible.
-- If you do it yourself, don’t list everything you’ve ever done. Go back a maximum of 15 years and don’t detail your work history with every date. Instead, go for broad categories such as your experience, qualifications, skills and accomplishments in previous jobs. If you’re especially skilled with technology, be sure to say so. Leave out the dates of any degrees and awards.
For ideas and hints, search online for “resumes for seniors going back to work” or “resumes for retirees.” Look at the National Council on Aging (www.ncoa.org) for their resume writing guide and AARP (aarp.org) for information on writing a resume after the age of 50.

Moisture problems indicate windows need to be replaced. Condensation that shows up as fogging between double-pane windows or on the inside of windows indicates that the windows are starting to fail. If installing a vapor barrier in the basement or crawl space, ventilating properly when showering or cooking, or using a dehumidifier indoors does not remedy the situation, it might be time to replace windows.

Enjoy dining out with kids
Pack snacks: Although the goal may be to eat out, kids may not be as patient as adults when waiting for their meals to be delivered. Ask servers to bring out the kids’ meals when appetizers are served or think ahead and have some light snacks, such as crackers or dry cereal, available to tame kids’ hunger pangs.

The more I see our municipal snow plow trucks clearing our roads, the happier I feel knowing my family and I can more safely drive to our destinations. Many kudos to all the drivers and highway superintendents. They are one way we see our tax dollars at work for good!
Many Thanks to the East Bloomfield EMS, Canandaigua Ambulance and East Bloomfield FD. Last night my 83 year old neighbor suffered heart attack. His daughter started CPR immediately and Ontario County Sheriff Meek arrived with in one minute with an AED.and took over doing CPR. East Bloomfield EMS arrived two minutes after that and then 2 Canandaigua EMS ALS unit and East BloomfieldHolcomb FD. With their teamwork they restored a pulse and transported him to Strong Hospital alive. We are blessed to have such great volunteers available 24/7, 365. Great work!
Why all of a sudden are people hoarding eggs? Sure prices have risen due to the bird flu but all of a sudden they need to fill their carts with dozens and dozens of eggs? I go through 1 doz. eggs in 3 to 4 weeks. There are expiration dates. Because there’s a shortage, which is temporary, they need to hoard eggs before anyone else has a chance to buy. Then the store is forced to limit the amounts or just run out. Are you more important and couldn’t care less if you clean the shelf out leaving none for others? Remember the toilet paper hoarding? Remember the fights and screaming shown on TV? That was embarrassing and those who hoarded toilet paper should be embarrassed. Do you really need to hoard eggs?
People need to put an end to those credit, insurance, vehicle etc. applications we all receive in the mail. They come pre-filled with too much information which can be stolen and used illegally. Scammers can use these to apply for a credit card just using what’s printed already and fraudulently apply under your name. Or use that information to sell to solicitors. Even minimal information can lead to wrong doings.

F | Sweet potato vine cu ings will rapidly form roots in water and grow in it. Owing to this, they can be used for in-home aquariums and trailing out of the water with their roots submerged. The growth is fueled by toxic ammonia and nitrates, a waste product of aquatic life, which it removes from the water. Thus, this can improve the living conditions for fish.
