SAFETY IN NUMBERS: WHY IT PAYS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS IN PAIRS

Why replace aging headlight bulbs?

Few drivers include headlight bulb replacement in their vehicle maintenanceroutines.Butoldheadlightbulbscandrasticallycompromise visibility at night, when drivers’ visual acuity is naturally reduced by as much as 70 percent. As headlight bulbs age, the effects of exposure to sunlight, ozone and pollution can significantly reduce their light output. According to Philips Automotive, a leading manufacturer of vehicle lighting components, headlight bulbs begin to project significantly less lightwithintwotothreeyearsoftheirinitialusage,producingdimmerlight outputs that compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers. For example, new headlight bulbs capable of projecting 240-foot beams in front of a vehicle may see that projection dwindle to just 160 feet within two to three years.

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.

COMMON TERMS FOUND ON FOOD LABELS

Sodium: Otherwise known as salt, sodium is necessary to maintain nerve and muscle health. However, many people consume too much sodium, oftentimes because of processed foods. WebMD notes that sodium intake should be limited to 2,300 milligrams or less per day. Certain people, such as those over the age of 51, African Americans or those with certain conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY LOCAL ACTIVITIES:

Bowling is a fun, affordable activity that people of all skill levels can enjoy. If you have enough friends interested in making a night of bowling, reserve a lane or lanes in advance so you won’t have to wait. And if everyone has a good time, look into creating a team and joining a league. Many bowling alleys host league nights that can also serve as great opportunities to meet people.

Every civilization has had its version of soccer. People in ancient China played a type of soccer known as ‘cuju’ using a ball made of leather and feathers. Cuju later spread to Japan, where it was known as ‘kemari.’ Similarly, the Aztecs played a ritualistic game called ‘ollama,’ in which the ball was considered a symbol of the sun, and the captain of the losing team was sometimes sacrificed to the gods. Later, the Mesoamericans used rubber balls — which were absent in other cultures — to play a similar game.

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.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds. Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME

As the name suggests, burning mouth syndrome causes a burning sensation in the mouth—which may include the tongue, gums, lips, cheeks, and roof of the mouth—without any apparent cause. It usually comes on suddenly, and the pain can be severe, much like burning your mouth with a hot drink. Potential causes of burning mouth syndrome range from nerve issues to nutrient deficiencies and oral health problems. If you have burning pain or soreness in parts of your mouth, see both your doctor and dentist to identify the source. Dental issues that can contribute to burning mouth syndrome include dry mouth, oral thrush, teeth clenching and grinding, and mouth irritation from brushing too hard or overusing oral care products.

If you are looking for a family dentist with a sincere interest in their patients’ complete health and who is familiar with

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

many oral health concerns that can compromise our comfort and well-being, we invite you to call us at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 585.343.4246, for an appointment. All oral issues brought to us are dealt with efficiently, effectively, and compassionately. And any medical problems noticed during a dental exam will be discussed with your other health care providers if you so choose. We’re located at 6 Batavia City Centre, where we offer complete gentle, dental care for all members of your family.

P.S. If the source of the burning sensation is determined to be oral, you will most likely be treated by your dentist for burning mouth syndrome.

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.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

BRAIN-HEALTHY HABITS TO EMBRACE

Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

The Alzheimer’s Association says that more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. By 2050, that number could rise to as high as 16 million people. More than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, says the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association.

Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise: Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory.

The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit smoking: The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.

Eat healthy foods: Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables,

whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Consume caffeine: Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work the brain: Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.

A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.

Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

Debilitating Menstrual Pain Might Be Due to Endometriosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a woman who has had terrible experiences with menstruation. I’ve probably seen two dozen different gynecologists, and I complained to every one of them about my painful periods. Not even a painkiller was prescribed.

Most of them seem to think that debilitating pain is part of being female. This pain is so bad that it is incapacitating. I’ve missed work and school because of it. I would throw up anything that I tried to eat or drink for a full day. It drives me nuts that everyone can empathize with a migraine headache, but no one has empathy for someone with menstrual cramps.

Once, I told the nurse practitioner that I had a really painful episode, and she asked, “Why didn’t you come into the office? You might have ruptured something.” Had I come into the office, it would have required an ambulance. By then, I had heard about endometriosis. I asked her if she thinks I have it, and she said, “Oooh, you probably do. You’d have to get laparoscopic surgery to know.”

Well, that would have been great to know 40 years ago. I could have gotten the surgery and spared myself years of agonizing pain. Did I explain myself incorrectly all those times when talking to my doctors? It’s too late for me (thankfully, I’m past all this), but please help us learn how to talk to our doctors in order to get through to them. These are not your garden-variety cramps that can be treated with Midol. -- S.N.

ANSWER: I am very sorry to hear of your experiences, and I’m glad you have written to try to help others avoid this outcome. While it is true that most women have discomfort during menstruation, some women experience a lot more than discomfort, and what you had is not typical at all for dysmenorrhea.

When a woman has pain that doesn’t respond to the first-line treatments, such as a heating pad and regular exercise, most primary care doctors, including gynecologists, consider pain medication as well as a trial of hormone treatment (such as combined oral contraceptives -- “birth control pills”). I’m honestly surprised you weren’t ever recommended these treatments, even though I have heard horrific stories of pelvic pain being ignored before.

If pain medication and hormone treatment are inadequate, it’s time for a primary care doctor like me to refer the patient to a specialist. The specialists I choose are gynecologists who have special expertise and training in pelvic pain. They consider multiple reasons for this persistent pain, including adenomyosis, fibroids and endometriosis.

With endometriosis, there are lesions outside the uterus near the ovaries, pelvic ligaments, bladder, or the lining of the pelvic wall in the cul-de-sac (an anatomical structure in the pelvis). Just like the endometrial tissue in the uterus, these lesions outside the uterus react to hormone levels, and at the time of menstruation, they can typically cause pain or pressure, bowel or bladder issues, painful sex, fatigue, and other symptoms.

While I can’t be sure that you had endometriosis, it is the most likely diagnosis. The diagnosis is often supported by an ultrasound, not usually by surgery at first. Medical treatments for endometriosis (such as GnRH-analogue drugs or aromatase inhibitors) are generally preferred to surgery, but surgery is still necessary sometimes.

I am concerned about your having seen two dozen gynecologists. One should have been enough to treat you with increasing levels of aggressiveness. I’d advise women in your situation to seek out a gynecologist with expertise in pelvic pain.

TIPS FOR TAKING STUNNING NATURE PHOTOS

Consider depth of field. Sometimes you will have no control over the busy background an interesting subject is in front of in a planned photograph. A shallow depth of field achieved with a wide aperture can blur a background and separate the subject from that background, according to Shotkit, a photography and gear authority. Some postproduction work also can be done to blur backgrounds in apps like Lightroom or through Photoshop.

DID YOU KNOW?

Tipping men and women who work in the food service industry is commonplace in the United States and Canada, where citizens typically tip between 15 and 20 percent when dining out at restaurants. But American and Canadiantravelersabouttodepart for overseas destinations may want to familiarize themselves with the practices regarding gratuities before their planes touch down. Some countries automatically add gratuities onto customers’ bills. For example, the government in Dubai mandates that a 10 percent service charge be added to all hotel, restaurant and bar bills. This service charge is then divided by the staff at the establishment, making the charge the equivalent of a tip. Diners in Morocco, where the gratuity is sometimes included in the bill, might be surprised to learn that a 10 percent tip in that country is considered generous. Tips are included in the bill in Costa Rica, where travelers need not feel obligated to leave any additional gratuities. Service is often included in the bill within the United Kingdom as well, though travelers should inspect the bill before assuming gratuity was included. Visitors to Spain should not feel obligated to leave a gratuity larger than 13 percent, and even a tip in the range of 7 percentisconsideredacceptable.

SIGNS A ROOF NEEDS REPAIR

Roof age: The age of the roof is a major factor in determining if it will need to be replaced or if repairs can be made to isolated damage. Individuals who live in neighborhoods where neighbors are now replacing roofs will likely find it is time to consult a roofing company. Homeowners also can check to see if they have any receipts that indicate the roof’s installation date so they have an idea about its age.

Upgrade walkways. Though it’s more expensive than adding planters and planting perennials, upgrading old and cracked walkways is a great way to give a property a whole new look. According to the renovation experts at HomeAdvisor, homeowners typically pay between $6 and $12 per square foot for new concrete walkway installation. Homeowners working on a budget can target spots where walkways have already cracked and fix those areas first before continuing the project piecemeal until all the old walkways have been replaced.

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.

DID YOU KNOW?

Getting out and about is a vital component of many seniors’ daily lives, but it’s important that aging men and women recognize how much exercise is healthy for them. The Department of Health & Human Services notes that adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy.That mix should be a combination of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which can include golfing, swimming and even gardening, and muscle strengthening activities like weightlifting that make the muscles work harder than usual.The DHHS recommends adults combine 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week with at least two days of muscle-strengthening activities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that these guidelines are safe for individuals who are 65 and older, generally fit and have no limiting health conditions. Individuals who do not fit that criteria should consult with their physicians before beginning a new exercise regimen, as it’s possible that they could be putting their health at considerable risk if they attempt to follow guidelines designed for people who are generally fit. It’s also important that healthy seniors avoid overdoing it in regard to exercise.Though the DHHS suggestions are the minimum recommendations,going too far beyond those guidelines without first consulting a physician could increase seniors’ risk for injury, illness or even death.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* Glassware will sparkle if you add a capful of bleach to the rinse water when hand-washing dishes.

* Lush lips and lovely nailbeds are only as far away as your pantry. Use olive oil applied directly to lips and nails to moisturize.

* “Purchase a variety of wood frames from secondhand stores or tag sales, and paint them all one color. It makes a statement when you hang them all close together on a wall. We created a nice large display this way, and it was very inexpensive to do.” -- E.M. in Arizona

WHAT’S YOUR ADVANCE CARE PLAN?

(NAPSI) — No matter your stage of life, it’s always a good idea to have a long-range care plan in place.A good way to begin is to talk candidly with your family and friends. By starting the conversation, you can express your views on treatment, relay your care preferences and communicate who will make decisions on your behalf. This process of advance-care planning can help ensure your wishes are carried out and bring peace of mind to those you love.

Build your advance care plan

• Durable financial power of attorney: This document authorizes a person to make legal or financial decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.

• Durable healthcare power of attorney: This document authorizes a person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.

• Advance-care directive: This document specifies how you receive care in the event you are unable to make those decisions on your own.

• Long-term care insurance: This is an insurance product that pays for long-term care services in a variety of settings.

Documents and requirements may differ by state. Please consult a legal or financial advisor to ensure use of the correct forms.

Make the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) part of your plan

As you make plans for the future, consider the potential need for long-term care and the effect it could have on you and your family.

Long-term care is the ongoing aid you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks by yourself due to chronic illness, injury, disability, or the aging process. This type of care is expensive but there’s a way to get help paying for it.

Applying for long-term care insurance coverage under the FLTCIP may be a smart choice for you. The FLTCIP is designed to reimburse for qualified long-term care services and can help lessen or eliminate your reliance on a loved one to provide hands-on care.

The FLTCIP offers you a choice of caregivers. Informal care provided by friends and family members is covered, as long as the caregiver isn’t your spouse or domestic partner and doesn’t live in your home at the time you become eligible for benefits. (Benefits for care provided by family members is limited to 500 days.)

Care provided in an assisted-living facility, an adult daycare, or a nursing home is also covered. If home care is your preference, the stay-at-home benefit includes a range of services that support care in your home, helping you maintain your quality of life in familiar surroundings.

Taking the next step

The FLTCIP is sponsored by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, insured by John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company, and administered by Long Term Care Partners, LLC. To learn more about the comprehensive benefits and features, call 1-800-LTC-FEDS (1-800-582-3337) TTY 1-800-843-3557 or visit LTCFEDS.com.

Thank You to All!

For Handicap

Why does our local “big box” store allow teenagers to cruise around the store on the electric carts that are for handicapped? There were two “kids” maybe 15 or 16 going up and down all the isles with nothing in their baskets. Before anyone says, “maybe they were handicapped and it doesn’t show,” they come over from another shopping center walking and running. When someone would look at them they got loud, laughed at them and basically dared them to say something. Where was Security? Are they afraid to chase them off and out? I wouldn’t have been surprised if there was a physical confrontation between a customer and one of them. Trying to contact the store manager was an absolute waste of time.

Shop Lifting and Stealing in our communities

Thank you to all! I did not have time to obtain all of your names at the time, but I wanted to thank the gentlemen who so kindly helped push my very dead Buick wagon off Rte. 31F and into the parking lot of the LNB Bank on Sunday a couple of weeks ago. I was making a left hand turn into the Tom Wahl’s parking lot from the turning lane that I was in when all of a sudden the car stopped dead in its tracks. I tried to restart the motor with no luck! So I had no power (no brakes, no power-steering, no nothing) with which to make the turn! A quick prayer to the Lord and suddenly out of nowhere 2 fellows appeared at my side windows and wanted to help. One grabbed my steering wheel, another ran to the rear and began pushing on the tail of the car (with other men already in place) and before I knew it I was in the parking lot. What could have been a nasty accident turned out for the better with no injuries to account for. I was soon able to get my wagon fixed and running again.

I am sorry this is so late, but I was so very thankful for the help of these good Samaritans!

A heart felt THANK YOU to our neighbor Dick who spent his time picking up branches in our yard.

THANK YOU

A HUGE Thank You to all the personnel who responded to the burning field fire in Stone Church on Monday, July 15th. The quick response and skill prevented the fire from spreading and causing serious damage to nearby properties. Bergen, Byron, LeRoy, Churchville and Brockport fire companies responded to the scene. We are very appreciative and thankful for your service and commitment to our communities.

I live in a small town and our [local store] had to shut down the self check out because people were dishonest and not paying for the items they checked out. This problem extends to our large stores in [local town], example [local store], and other business. When we let the low lifes and criminals get away the the crimes, they affect the business, the workers, and the community. I for one would like to see armed guards at the exit doors outside of the business and when they suspect someone is stealing an item, confront them out side the store and if they have taken an item without paying put them in handcuffs and make them stand outside the store for public display. What I really want to say is against the law. We as a society cannot overlook the crimes to make our country better; we need to stand up and say this is wrong.

IJoy Bergfalk:

BY SUZIE WELLS

n a world o en dominated by metrics and profits, Joy Bergfalk stands as a beacon of compassion and resilience, channeling her life’s mission into Coffee Connection, a non-profit organization on South Ave in Rochester, and Marketplace Mall in Henrietta, dedicated to helping women reclaim their lives from the grips of addiction, trauma, and incarceration. I felt so blessed to chat with Joy at the Marketplace Mall location during a recent rainstorm.

As nature threatened to demolish all that humans created, I felt at home and at peace as we chatted about life, challenges no one should have to suffer, and the amazing women at Coffee Connection. Joy’s journey from a compassionate child rescuing traumatized animals to a pastor guiding women through their darkest times is nothing short of inspiring. All of our firstworld problems shrink when we consider the challenges others go through.

Joy’s affinity for aiding the vulnerable began in childhood, nurturing traumatized animals from the age of five. is early exposure to the healing process laid the foundation for her calling as clergy. Now a pastor in Rochester, Joy has dedicated her career to working with people who have endured trauma.

Her personal life mirrors her professional dedication. Joy and her first husband adopted five siblings from Guatemala, immersing themselves in the complexities of trauma and recovery within their own family. is experience deepened Joy’s empathy and commitment to her work, as she intimately understands the long and arduous journey of healing from profound personal challenges.

Coffee Connection, based out of South Avenue and in Marketplace Mall’s food court, transcends the typical coffee shop experience. It serves as a sanctuary where women, many with arrest records and histories of addiction, find employment as well as a supportive community as they heal. e organization’s mission is threefold: providing sober support, workplace support, and employment creation. is comprehensive approach ensures that women not only maintain sobriety but also acquire the skills and confidence needed to thrive independently.

Founded in 2001 by Nancy Sawyer-Molina, Coffee Connection was born out of a desire to support women in addiction recovery. When Joy joined in 2011, her merger with her own initiative, Project Empower, brought a renewed focus and energy to the organization. Today, Coffee Connection thrives as a non-profit roaster, offering stable employment and skill-building opportunities for women overcoming significant life challenges.

Remarkably, Joy has served as the Executive Director of Coffee Connection without pay for a decade. Her pastoral role funds her life, allowing her to devote her heart and soul to the organization. is selflessness underscores her unwavering commitment to the

The Heartbeat Behind Coffee Connection

cause, demonstrating that true wealth lies in lives transformed and hope restored.

Joy’s leadership has facilitated numerous collaborations with local businesses and organizations, including Kitty VanBortel and Parkleigh, amplifying Coffee Connection’s impact across Rochester. ese partnerships provide employment opportunities and foster a sense of community and shared purpose, reinforcing the organization’s mission.

Under Joy’s guidance, Coffee Connection has become a hub of transformative stories. Women like Stacey, Joyce, and Ember exemplify the profound changes that can occur within a supportive environment. Stacey, with 18 years of sobriety, manages bookkeeping and human resources, a far cry from her past struggles with homelessness and crime. Joyce, who battled alcoholism and depression for fi een years, now manages catering and the Marketplace Mall location, attributing her three years of sobriety to the camaraderie and support she found at Coffee Connection. Ember, once unable to cook, is now celebrated for her culinary skills, particularly her quiche, and helps her peers stay accountable in their recovery journeys.

e coffee at Coffee Connection represents more than just a beverage; it symbolizes ethical and sustainable practices. Sourced organically and fairly traded from countries like Peru, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Sumatra, and Ethiopia, each cup supports fair compensation and eco-friendly practices.

Bergfalk’s unwavering dedication has transformed Coffee ConnectionintoabeaconofhopeinRochester. roughherleadership, the organization provides a lifeline to women overcoming addiction, trauma, and incarceration. By offering employment, support, and a sense of community, Coffee Connection empowers women to reclaim their lives and look towards a brighter future.

Joy’s journey is a testament to the power of compassion and the profound impact one individual can have on countless lives. As patrons sip their coffee and savor the baked goods, they are not just enjoying a treat... they are supporting a transformative mission that reaffirms the potential for redemption and the enduring power of community.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We’re taking a road trip across the country and bringing our dog “Frankie” with us. He’s about 6 years old and well trained, but has never been beyond the front yard. How can we keep him comfortable on our journey? -- Linda P. in Trenton, New Jersey

DEAR LINDA: A road trip sounds like fun! And the key to your dog having a great time is to plan, plan, plan.

First, make sure that Frankie’s vaccinations are up to date and that his license tag and identifying information are securely attached to his collar. It’s not a bad idea to microchip your dog, too -- in case he runs off and his collar gets detached. Carry a copy of his vet records with you, too.

Next, start planning the road trip with Frankie in mind.

Help Reduce Animal Overpopulation

-- Plan rest breaks and build them into your travel time. Check along the route that you’ll be traveling for pet-friendly rest areas where you can walk dogs (on leash) during stretch breaks. You’ll want to stop every two to three hours.

-- Look for pet-friendly accommodations along the route. If you’re camping, check the campsite rules -- not all of them allow pets!

One of the easiest ways to prevent pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter animals. Cats can reproduce at very fast rates. According to the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team of Central Oregon, two uncontrolled breeding cats can create the following situation if they have two litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter: 12 cats in the first year, 66 cats in the second year, and 2,201 cats in the third year. Cats reach puberty between 4 and 12 months of age. Female cats reproduce between January and September, and might come back into “heat” every 14 to 21 days until they have bred or daylight decreases considerably. Cats can give birth 60 days after they have bred.

-- Pack a bag just for Frankie that has his medications, food (especially if he eats specialty pet food), favorite toys, extra blanket and extra leash.

-- Make sure Frankie is safe and secure in the car. Bigger dogs do better in a kennel cage set up in the back of your SUV or the folded-down back seat, with a padded bed to lie down on.

-- If Frankie suffers from anxiety or tends to get sick in the car, talk to the vet about medication to ease his symptoms.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signs Executive Order 9981, banning discrimination in the military. It ended a long-standing practice of segregating Black soldiers and relegating them to more menial jobs. African Americans had been serving in the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War.

WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK

Write things down. A to-do list floating around in your head can become overwhelming. The physical task of writing things down and crossing items off the list one-by-one can help you sail through tasks effectively. If you’re a mobile person, jot the list down on the notes function of a smartphone or use a task app that syncs with calendar functions.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Allow employees to telecommute. Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005-2014 American Community Survey conducted by GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics.com, a typical business would save $11,000 per person per year if it allowed its employees to work from home just half the time. Those cost-savings can be traced to numerous factors, and lower utility costs in the office as well as the need for less office space are among them.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, 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.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, air currents can carry pesticides that were applied to nearby properties. That means even people who do not apply pesticides in their lawns and gardens can still be at risk of exposure to these potentially harmful chemicals. People concerned by the prospect of being exposed to the pesticides being applied by their neighbors can stay indoors with their children and pets while the substances are being applied. Those who live near fields and parks where pesticides are routinely applied can plant hardy, thick-branched trees to reduce their risk of airborne exposure. The EPA notes that such plants and shrubs can serve as buffers against airborne pesticides, essentially acting as walls around a property that prevent gusty winds from blowing pesticides into yards and gardens.
