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.

Alexis Russell on Mindful Journaling: A Path to Growth, Healing, and Connection BY SUZIE WELLS
A
Alexis Russell, a Washington, DC native, entrepreneur, and writer, who now calls Rochester home with her husband and their two daughters, has dedicated her life to fostering creativity, mindfulness, and personal growth. With a Women’s Entrepreneurship Certificate from Cornell University following study in sociology, psychology, and anthropology at RIT, Alexis founded Inspiring Experiences, LLC and co-founded EXP Studio, LLC to build spaces for innovation and community connection. A lifelong journaler, Alexis shares her experiences and insights into how mindful journaling can transform lives—a practice she discovered more profoundly during her journey through postpartum depression and motherhood. For Alexis, journaling has been a constant since childhood, inspired by her grandmother’s advice to write everything down. Over the years, her practice evolved from spontaneous notes and reflections to a lifeline during challenging times, especially after the birth of her first daughter. Alexis struggled with postpartum depression, and she felt disconnected, numb, and overwhelmed by grief for her former identity and the unexpected challenges of motherhood. “I struggled to connect with my daughter,” she recalls. “My body was there, but my mind felt lightyears away.” Through journaling, Alexis asked herself questions, reflected on her emotions, and gradually reconnected with herself and her daughter. This journey inspired her StoryCards™, rooted in the questions and insights that emerged during this pivotal period. Journaling, Alexis believes, is more than a practice; it’s a sanctuary and a tool, “a space for release—a way to step back and process your experiences, thoughts, and emotions without the weight of judgment or expectation.” She emphasizes that there is no “right” way to journal. Instead, it’s about showing up authentically and using it as a mirror and a map for personal growth. Driven by a desire to help others, Alexis shares her experiences to remind struggling moms they’re not alone. By offering tools and techniques that helped her find clarity and peace, she hopes to inspire others to do the same. “Helping others with love and compassion is at the heart of everything I do,” she says. “Together, we can find a way forward.” Starting a mindful journaling practice is about keeping it simple and letting go of perfection—just decide to start and experiment with techniques until you find what resonates, she says. Consistency, perhaps journaling at a set time each day, perhaps responding to guided prompts, perhaps joining a supportive community of likeminded journalers, helps make it a meaningful habit, but it’s important to be patient with yourself. Mindful journaling is a personal space to reflect, grow, and embrace your life’s journey. Mindful journaling extends beyond the page, also fostering connections to other mindful habits, such as eating. Alexis notes, “Journaling helped me reflect on my emotions and habits, which directly impact how I approach food.” Identifying emotional eating triggers and differentiating between physical and emotional hunger has transformed her relationship with food. Together, mindful practices
promote self-compassion and deeper connections with one’s body and habits. Alexis’ advice to anyone curious about mindful journaling is simple: “Give it a try. If you’re searching for something to help you through tough times or a way to cherish life’s beautiful moments more meaningfully, mindful journaling might be exactly what you need.” The practice, she believes, is a space for reflection, growth, and selfdiscovery, a journey that unfolds uniquely for each person. Slowing down, being present, and cultivating awareness can transform not only how we interact with the world but also how we connect with ourselves.

active senior living Here’s A Tip BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson * A chef ’s trick to keep cooked spinach green is to make sure the pot is not covered while cooking. * “When cooking shrimp in a bouillon, put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes before cooking. They will cook up nice and tender. I have had success with this also when grilling. When putting shrimp on a skewer, I use double skewers, which hold about five shrimp. When I thread the skewers side by side, the shrimp are easier to turn over, and they do not spin on the skewer.” -- R.R. in Florida * To keep cheese blocks moist and mold free, place in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Place a piece of napkin dampened with white vinegar in with the cheese.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Marzotta
CAT’S STRANGE LUMP NEEDS A VET’S CARE DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I inherited my aunt’s cat, “Tabitha,” late last year. When Tabbi came to live with me, I noticed that she had six toes, but only on one paw. Her other front paw was normal. I thought that was unusual but not dangerous, or my aunt would have done something about it. However, on our first visit to the veterinarian, when I pointed out the toe as a strange genetic anomaly, the vet got very concerned. The “toe” was actually a lump! Tabbi had surgery to remove it. Fortunately, it was benign, and she recovered completely. Please tell your readers to contact the vet when they notice any strange growth. -- Joe in Portland, Oregon DEAR JOE: Thank you for sharing your story! Cats, dogs and other pets can develop strange growths or lumps during their lifetime. It’s not always easy to determine whether a growth is harmless or needs to be removed. The vet will do a needle biopsy and can often examine the cells under a micro-scope right in their office, so they can report their findings to you almost immediately. Sometimes, they will send a sample to a veterinary pathologist, who can provide a clearer picture of what’s going on with a lump or mass. Having new lumps and bumps checked out as soon as possible is important, because the vet can treat them while they’re still small, so your pet suffers less pain and discomfort. If a mass turns out to be cancerous, the faster the treatment happens, the better. So, just as a change in behavior or energy signals that it’s time to visit the vet, a new lump or bump (or any strange new growth) should be checked out as soon as possible.

However, sodium is an essential nutrient, and although sodium deficiency is unheard of now, there are conditions where a highsodium diet is important. I recently saw a patient who had POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) after COVID, and she needs 8-12 grams of sodium daily to keep her blood pressure up.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD Who can get PTSD? - The APA notes that exposure to an upsetting traumatic event is necessary before a diagnosis of PTSD can be made. However, that exposure can be indirect. For example, police officers who are repeatedly exposed to details of heinous crimes can develop PTSD even though they are not victims of those crimes and did not witness them. But the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that individuals are more likely to develop PTSD if they are directly exposed to a trauma or injured.

If consuming sodium is so bad for your health, then why aren’t there limitations in the amount of sodium a company can put into their products? Shouldn’t this be controlled by the federal government, similar to alcohol or numerous other chemicals in food and drinks that we find in cans, boxes and packages? For instance, why should diet soda have sodium in it? -- E.R.
ANSWER: It is true that excess sodium has health risks, and I agree with public health officials in recommending that people consume less sodium. High sodium increases blood pressure levels for most people. Even in people without high blood pressure levels, a high-sodium diet slightly increases stroke risk and predisposes them to kidney stones.
Dr. Julie Labrecque
Fair Housing Statement
DEAR DR. ROACH: I read in a health journal that large amounts of sodium are unhealthy for one’s diet. The government standard is no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. If one’s health isn’t so good, some doctors say that their sodium intake shouldn’t be more than 1,500 mg per day. Everything you eat or drink counts.
As a physician, my role is to advise. It’s not for me to dictate public policy, and I worry about the government making regulations about what is a personal choice. Pretzels contain 250-300 mg of sodium in a 1-ounce serving, so a big bag of pretzels might have 5 grams of sodium -- two day’s worth. I’m uncomfortable with the government limiting my ability to buy this, even if it isn’t a good idea for me to consume it all in a day. On the other hand, I think that the decision made by the Food and Drug Administration in 2015 to ban the use of trans fats was correct. Trans fats are exceedingly unhealthy, and manufacturers quickly switched to heathier options. The decision to ban a substance or limit its use must be made wisely. As far as diet sodas, sodium suppresses the bitter taste that can accompany some artificial sweeteners. A typical diet soda might have 20 mg of sodium (0.02 grams), so those usually aren’t the biggest offenders. On the other hand, a large pizza might have 6-10 grams of sodium.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 73 years old with an extremely
large prostate. My PSA reading was over 11 ng/mL. I’ve had negative biopsies, and my new urologist put me on finasteride. He told me that he had great results with it and could cut my cancer risk by 80%. I’ve been taking it for more than six months, and my latest PSA was 4.4 ng/mL. I’m reluctant to keep taking it. What are your thoughts on finasteride? -- H.D.
ANSWER: I agree that finasteride decreases the risk of prostate cancer and death due to prostate cancer. Unfortunately, the data show more of a 25% to 30% decreased risk rather than an 80% risk. If it were 80% successful at stopping prostate cancer, we would be recommending it to all men (in absence of side effects). Still, a decrease in prostate cancer risk is worth considering when it comes to the treatment of symptomatic prostate enlargement. Finally, finasteride reduces PSA levels by about half, which needs to be taken into account when interpreting the PSA level. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

HOW TO INVOLVE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE IN AGRICULTURE Emphasize technological advancements in the field. Modern young people are growing up with technology all around them, but few may be aware of the vital role technology plays in the agricultural sector. Young people’s ears may perk up upon hearing terms like “robotics” technologies are now a big part of life on the farm. Recognition of that may compel more young people to pursue careers in agriculture.

COLD W EATHER W ILDLIFE IN HOM ES BOOSTS DISEASE AND PROPERTY DAM AGE RISKS M any people may practice the “ love thy neighbor” creed, but w hen it comes to four-legged w ildlife su ch as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes w hen outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thin ned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people , the National Pest M anagement Association (NPM A) has found that many areas of the country continue to report incre ased encounters w ith nuisance w ildlife. “ W hile it can be a unique experience to spot w ildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be disc ouraged from taking up residence,” advises M issy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPM A. “ Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed t o rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, fox es, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected w ith rabies. Because of the risks a ssociated w ith these pests, homeow ners should take extra precautions to protect against them.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse

Carhartt Santa Thank you to the Carhartt-decked Santa at Aldi yesterday! At least six people in the store received envelopes with a cheery “Merry Christmas” and inside was money! I was one of the lucky customers. It was such a kind gesture. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Courtesy
Go shopping lately? It’s bad enough with the self-centered drivers, but also those inside the stores. Leaving their cart smack in the middle of a row while they “window shop” a few feet away, then getting mad when someone moves it to pass. Blocking the deli counter waiting to be served. The “joggers” who fly out of a side isle and literally run their carts into others. A family of 5 or 6 blocking the whole aisle, oblivious to people trying to get around them. Don’t forget the two shoppers with carts standing next to each other discussing personal matters. Finally, even though there’s more, you try to be courteous and move off to the side. That draws more attention and they stand there until you move over. They look for whatever, I don’t know, then walk away with nothing. They must believe you’re hiding something standing there. Shoppers need to look further than the tip of their noses.
Walmart workers The workers at our local Geneseo Walmart have been so cheerful and helpful throughout this holiday season. Even the ones that are “shoppers” would take the time to check on the location or availability of items. I was there on the 23rd and many were festively dressed – even a green faced Grinch was busy! Thanks to them for making the season a little better for your customers!

HOMETOWN 2. Charles “Charlie” F. McGory Jr. December 22, 2024 Honeoye: At age 85, Charlie passed away on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at FF Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua. He was born on September 13, 1939, in Canandaigua, NY to the late Charles Fletcher and Agnes (Verstrate) McGory. Charlie is predeceased by his sisters, Kathleen McGory and Alice McGory. Survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Beverly (Matthews) McGory; his sons, Bernie McGory and Brian McGory; and his grandchildren, Alexandria McGory, Kevin McGory, and Shaylyn McGory, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. In keeping with Charlie’s wishes, no formal funeral services will take place. To share a memory or a condolence, please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com
Lilies The flower most commonly associated with funeral services in the popular mind is the lily. Lilies are often interpreted as a symbol of the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. A white stargazer lily symbolizes sympathy and any type of white lily expresses majesty and purity.
