tool for many people - and the thought of losing one of those devices, or having it stolen, is disconcerting, to say the least. But it happens every day. It’s estimated that lost or stolen phones alone could cost U.S. users $30 billion in 2012.

When a phone or tablet goes missing, so does a lot of personal information. And that can lead to more than just some inconvenience - it can lead to a stolen identity.

The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. While identity thieves still resort to old-fashioned methods of information gathering, like going through trash and stealing wallets and purses, they can also get the personal information you store on your mobile device.

IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES

Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I have a 1-year-old mixed-breed puppy named "Star" who I'd love to take on Saturday hikes with me. I'm an avid hiker who can do up to 20 miles or more per day. Is this too much for a young dog like her to handle? -- Gary in Boulder, Colorado

DEAR GARY: Your instincts are right-on -- that kind of mileage is too much for a puppy. But, depending on the dog, you can build Star's stamina gradually, adding miles as she grows. For a 1-year-old puppy, start with no more than a mile or two, and keep it light and fun. If Star whines at three-quarters of a mile, take a break for a few minutes and see if she'll go on. If she shows signs of tiredness, like lagging behind and not being curious about things around her, it's time to head back. Some pet parents will carry their puppy for the remaining miles, but that's up to you -- I think that it's better to just gradually build the miles.

Notice that I also said "depending on the dog." Some dogs just aren't enthusiastic about hiking long miles. Others -- especially small dogs, toy and pocket breeds -- cannot walk very far without tiring. (Fortunately, they can be carried easily.) Don't lament if hiking ultimately isn't Star's thing; just build an outdoor schedule where she can share in the fun on some days with short hikes, and you can still get in lots of mileage while she remains at home or with a friend.

An adult dog can do 5 to 20 miles depending on their fitness and enthusiasm. But you'll need to adjust your lifestyle to gradually bring Star up to that kind of distance.

TIPS FOR COMFORTABLE CAMPING

Invest in quality gear - In addition to the tent, campers will need a tarp/ground cover to place under the tent. This helps prevent moisture seepage from the soil. Next, determine how everyone will sleep, whether on the ground or in cots. Cots can be the most comfortable options, but they take up a lot of space and can be heavy to transport - which is less than ideal when backpacking to a campsite. Inflatable mattresses or sleeping pads can be used in conjunction with sleeping bags to provide a soft, cushioned surface. Some are affordable at $40 while others may cost as much as $300. Costlier options may be best for frequent campers.

TECH TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP

Road trips hold a special place in many people’s hearts. The open road and the freedoms it represents have been romanticized by writers and travelers since automobiles became accessible to the masses. While many drivers still take to the road looking for adventure, road trips have changed considerably since Jack Kerouac penned his seminal novel “On the Road” in the 1950s. The spirit of the open road is still there, but the way travelers approach road trips has changed considerably, most notably with regard to the technology that motorists now take along for theride.Driversabouttoembarkonaroadtrip,whetherit’stheirfirstsuch venture or their fiftieth, can make trips even more enjoyable by taking along the right tech.

Amy Post: A Champion of Abolition and Equality in Rochester

BY KAYLEE DUDA

In the mid-19th century, Rochester, NY was a hotbed of social reform and activism, and among its most influential figures was Amy Post, a determined abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights. Her legacy in Rochester is a testament to her unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

BornAmyKirbyonDecember20,1802,inLongIsland,NewYork, she grew up in a Quaker family that valued equality and social justice. ese principles deeply influenced her and laid the foundation for her future activism. In 1828, she married Isaac Post, and the couple moved to Rochester in 1836, where they quickly became integral members of the city’s reformist community.

Amy and Isaac Post were ardent abolitionists. eir home in Rochester became a crucial stop on the Underground Railroad, providing refuge for countless enslaved individuals seeking freedom.

e Underground Railroad is estimated to have helped around 100,000 enslaved people escape to freedom between the late 18th century and the end of the Civil War in 1865. e Posts’ dedication to the cause was evident in their willingness to risk their own safety to help others obtain the freedom they deserved.

Amy Post’s activism extended beyond providing shelter; she was deeply involved in the broader abolitionist movement. She was a close friend and confidante of Frederick Douglass, who lived in Rochester and published his influential newspaper, e North Star, from there. Post and Frederick Douglass met in the mid-19th century, likely in the early 1840s. eir paths crossed through their mutual involvement in the abolitionist movement. Douglass o en stayed with the Posts, and Amy provided him with unwavering support as he campaigned against slavery.

In addition to her work in the abolitionist movement, Amy Post was a staunch advocate for women’s rights. She played a significant role in organizing the first woman’s rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848. Although the convention is o en associated with figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, Amy Post’s contributions were crucial in shaping the event and its outcomes. For example, Post advocated for the inclusion of women’s suffrage in the Declaration of Sentiments, the document that emerged from the convention.

o en working alongside other prominent activists such as Susan B. Anthony. Her efforts helped lay the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote.

Amy Post’s commitment to social justice le an indelible mark on Rochester and the nation. Her home, which served as a haven for both freedom seekers and reformers, is a symbol of her tireless efforts and enduring spirit. Post’s correspondence with other activists provides valuable insights into the interconnected nature of the various reform movements of the 19th century.

Post’s activism extended beyond abolition and women’s rights; she was also involved in the temperance movement and efforts to improve education and prison conditions. Her multifaceted approach to social reform demonstrated her belief in the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression and her dedication to addressing them all.

Today, Amy Post is remembered as a pioneering force in the struggle for equality and justice. Rochester celebrates her legacy through historical markers, educational programs, and community events that honor her contributions. e Rochester Museum & Science Center and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House are among the institutions that preserve and share the stories of Post and her contemporaries. See the Post house historical marker on Sophia St. (now N. Plymouth Ave. according to the Rochester Regional Library Council) in Rochester. History happened here.

Amy Post’s life and work remind us of the power of individual action in the face of systemic injustice. Her unwavering dedication to the causes of abolition and women’s rights continues to inspire new generations of activists committed to making the world a more just and equitable place.

During the convention, there was significant debate over whether to include the demand for women’s suffrage in the Declaration of Sentiments. Many attendees, including prominent figures like Lucretia Mott, were hesitant to include such a radical demand, fearing it might undermine the credibility of the entire movement, yet Post continued to advocate for what she believed in.

Post’s advocacy did not stop at the convention. She continued to fight for women’s suffrage and equal rights throughout her life,

Reach out to your neighbor first, not the town

Thankful

I want to thank the Livingston County DOT workers who were working in Ossian next to my house on July 31st when I fell outside. They saw me fall and came to my rescue as I couldn't get up by myself. I didn't catch their names unfortunately, but I will forever be thankful for them coming to my aid. Thank you once again to those wonderful men for helping a klutzy old lady.

Good Samaritan

There are still good people out there making the world a better place. While bringing my 90 year old mother to her doctor’s appointment, my vehicle’s clutch decided to give out on me several blocks from our destination. Stranded in the middle of the road unable to move, a Good Samaritan stopped and helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. If that wasn’t enough, he then drove us the rest of the way to her doctor’s appointment, avoiding a long walk for my aging mother. In the midst of our turmoil I didn’t get his name, But after thanking him profusely, I wanted to honor him here for his unselfish deeds. We need more people like this man in his Jeep to share kindness and concern for others. Thank you.

To the neighbor who complained about my fence, I’m sorry I didn’t get it fixed fast enough for you. I’ve been here nearly 50 years. You could have come and told me it was bothering you. I never saw any kids out. If you had a problem, you could have offered to help fix it. I called six companies and one called back five days later. My son is my caregiver and fixes everything, plus yardwork, so it’s hard for him to do everything. Two years ago, my husband of 60 years died and my taxes went up $1,000. Twomonths later, my 6 year old fridge quit, so $1,600 later at Thanksgiving I got a new one. Then my furnace quit. I made payments for that (I also had major surgery), then my microwave went at Christmas. I’ll be 82 next week, and all my ‘old’ neighbors have either died or moved. This is a country where neighbors have always gotten along. So, if you have any more problems, go to the person, not the town.

Price for product repair is very high

Nowadays it is getting very pricey to get a repair person for a product that is broken even though a warranty may apply. In my case I bought an inside chair lift for my 12 indoor stairs about 10 months ago that go from the 1st to the 2nd floor. Unfortunately for me and my wife the plastic switch that operates it broke off. The repair guy came over and analyzed the situation. He stated that the switch was still under warranty and he’d be back in about a week to install a new piece. When he came back he installed the new piece in less than 5 minutes. While the part or parts were free, the two service calls from [business name] cost me a whopping $374.22. Outrageous!

COLD, PAINFUL FINGERS CAN MEAN A SERIOUS DISEASE

(NAPSI)—“Zombie Hands.” That’s what can happen to an estimated 5 to 10 percent of the population whentemperaturesstarttofall.

In a typical case of Raynaud’s phenomenon, also known as Raynaud’s disease or syndrome, sufferers experience numbness and pain in their fingers, toes and other extremities. Fingers turn white, blue or red as the small blood vessels go into spasm within minutes of exposure to cold or stress, and they appear to be “dead”asbloodflowisconstricted.

Named for the French physician

Maurice Raynaud, who first recognized the condition in 1862, it causesaninterruptionofbloodflow to the fingers, toes, nose or ears. There may be associated tingling, swelling or painful throbbing. The attacks may last from minutes to hours. In severe cases, the area may develop ulcerations and infections, which can lead to gangrene.

Raynaud’scanoccurasa“primary” disease—thatis,withnoassociated disorder—or as a “secondary” conditionrelatedtootherdiseases, such as scleroderma, lupus, and rheumatoidarthritis.

“Ninety percent of Raynaud’s sufferers don’t seek treatment and too many physicians pay short shrift to those who do,” says Lynn Wunderman, founder and chair of the Raynaud’s Association. “Treatment is important because some sufferers may have an underlying condition such as systemic scleroderma or lupus. Awareness of such a problem may allow for earlier medical intervention.” Simple blood tests can rule out the presence of antibodies associated with diseases that have Raynaud’s as a component.

What’s

Being Done

Tohelp,theRaynaud’sAssociation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit health organization, launched a new and assertive campaign,”Don’t Turn a Cold Shoulder to Painful Fingers,” to urge those with the disorder— and their doctors—not to dismiss the pain that Raynaud’s sufferers endure,orthelifestyleadjustments they make to minimize exposure to coldorstress.

Although there is no known cure as yet, treatment options such as calcium channel blocker drugs have been clinically proven to alleviate symptoms by opening up the blood vessels so blood circulatesmorefreely.

Question: Do you know how to score a bowling game? Yes, you can only knock down 10 pins per frame. And there are only 10 frames per game. So how does a perfect score add up to 300?

Answer: It’s more complicated than that. Strikes and spares have their own special (bonus) scoring system. And the 10th frame allows for one or two extra balls if you knock all the pins down.

HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE

Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments. In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy and which to avoid. Nutrition is not always foremost on the minds of college freshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

WHY SUGAR IS REALLY BAD FOR YOUR TEETH

Sugar by itself isn’t bad for your teeth, but rather the combination of sugar and oral bacteria that produce enamel-destroying acids. Bacteria thrive on sugar. The more sugar you eat, the faster the bacteria in your mouth reproduce. The existing bacteria respond by overproducing acids that destroy tooth enamel. When bacteria reach the base of your teeth, they multiply even faster and deepen the pockets in your gums, leading to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Sugar also causes extra bacteria that become excess acid in your saliva, leading to a higher risk of acute and chronic dental problems. But there’s good news, too: a twice-daily oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing significantly reduces the risk by keeping bacteria in check.

Bacteria and the damage it causes can be controlled if we deal with

bacteria-causing plaque on a daily basis. A toothbrush alone, however, no matter how often used, cannot do the whole job. It takes the combined effort of smart eating, conscientious daily brushing and flossing, and professional visits to promote total oral health as well as complete body health. If it’s been too long since you treated your teeth and gums to professional care, now would be a good time to call us for an appointment at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 6 Batavia City Centre. Call 585.343.4246 - we’ll give you a reason to smile!

P.S. You don’t have to give up sugar to avoid dental issues. Practice enjoying sugar in moderation and developing a routine to brush and floss soon afterward.

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.

• 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).

SPICY STEAK TAMPICO

4 beef tenderloin medallions (each 6 ounces and 3/4-inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoned salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup roasted green chile peppers (see below)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1. Brush steaks thoroughly with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Place medallions on preheated grill, close lid and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 F for medium rare, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat broiler with rack 3 to 4 inches away from heat. Place steaks on individual ovenproof plates. Top each steak with equal amounts of chile and cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

To roast chiles: Preheat greased outdoor grill to medium or preheat an oven broiler. Place fresh chiles on outdoor grill or gas stovetop over medium heat or arrange on a baking sheet and place 2 to 3 inches away from heat under broiler. Grill or broil, turning often with tongs, until surfaces of skin are lightly charred and blistered. Immediately place peppers in a paper bag or an airtight container and close tightly. Let peppers cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and remove stems and seeds. Tear into strips or chop as needed according to the recipe. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Refrigerate peppers for up to 3 days or freeze in airtight container for up to 6 months.

Patient Needs Help Discussing High Blood Calcium With Doctor

DEAR DR. ROACH: A friend has been diagnosed with high blood calcium, and when I googled it, the results concerned me. Can you give information on this and how to discuss it with the doctor? I want to forward the column to my friend, and hopefully, the information encourages/helps with the medical discussions between my friend and their doctor. -- Anon.

ANSWER: There are many causes of high blood calcium levels, and some of them are quite scary to read about. Hopefully, your friend’s doctor is already in the process of discovering the underlying cause. Some causes are pretty clear, as some medicines are wellknown to cause high calcium, such as thiazide diuretics like HCTZ.

The first step is being sure that there really is high calcium by repeating the blood level. A tourniquet left on for more than a minute can cause acid buildup in the arm, which displaces calcium and causes a false elevation. This problem can also be avoided by being expeditious with blood draws or by measuring the “ionized calcium” for changes in the protein albumin, which also affects the calcium level. If the calcium level is repeatedly high, the next place to look at is the parathyroid hormone, which is one of the main regulators (along with vitamin D) of blood calcium levels. Most cases of high calcium in otherwise healthy people are caused by excess parathyroid hormone, most often from a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland. In the unusual case that this isn’t the issue, less-common causes, including excess vitamin D and some cancers, should also be considered. As far as an encouraging discussion, if your friend’s doctor isn’t bringing it up (which they should), being as open-ended as possible is best, with questions such as: “Why is my calcium high? Do I need to do anything about it?”

*** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* When patching up cracks in plaster walls, if the crack is large or it's a small hole, stuff it with wadded-up newspaper or steel wool in order to fill the crack. Apply the plaster over the top.

* Recipe substitution: For each cup of brown sugar needed, use 1 cup of white sugar and 2 tablespoons of molasses.

* Ever had to deal with early arrivals at your garage sale? If so, you know it can be annoying and disruptive. When advertising your sale, use the block number instead of your house number. Still easy to find, but you're less likely to get staked out.

WOMEN AND STEM

• General Production: $19/hour

• Maintenance Technician (10-hour Evening & Overnight): $25.50-$35.50/hour

• Maintenance Supervisor (Overnight): $81,760 to $114,464

• Human Resources Manager - $81,800 to $114,500

• Maintenance Manager - $93,206 - $130,489

The number of women entering the professional fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is slowly growing around the world, but there is still a sizable gender gap in these professions. According to the College Board, which produces many standardized tests, only 27 percent of all students taking the AP Computer Science exam in the United Sciencearewomen.Similarly,just 18 percent of American computerscience degrees are attained by females. However, this is not the case elsewhere in the world. A paper by Gijsbert Stoet and David Geary published in Psychological Science noted that women who live in countries with traditionally higher gender inequality tend to choose STEM professions more readily. Algeria, for example, has one of the highest ratios of womeninSTEMprofessions,at41 percent. Stoet and Geary surmise that women in these countries may be choosing careers with the strongest path to financial independence.

According to a U.S. Department of Education report, students studying science or math in collegehaveahigheremployment rate and salary than other majors after graduation. STEM majors typically earn an average of $15,500 more annually than nonSTEM majors. Engineering and engineering technology tends to pay the most. Women eager to secure competitive, stable and well-paying jobs should carefully consider the opportunities available to them in STEM fields.

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Walk away. The APA notes that taking a break from a stressor is one of a handful of healthy techniques that research has indicated is a successful way to reduce stress, both in the short- and long-term. If a project at work is proving especially stressful, step away for a short period of time to do something else, whether it’s to go for a brief walk or converse with a coworker about something unrelated to the project. Avoiding the stress entirely, especially if it’s a work project or a bill that must be paid, is not the answer. But a short break from the stressor and thinking about it can provide a new perspective and time to calm down.
