PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Leveling Up: Walking with multiple dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I walk my neighbors’ dogs every day a er school. It takes time because I have to walk one dog at a time, then go to the next house, and then the third one. I’d like to make this job a little more efficient by walking all three dogs at the same time. What’s the best way to do this? -- Colin R., Smyrna, Georgia

DEAR COLIN: I can see your dilemma! Walking three dogs separately takes at least one hour, probably two, when you add in the time spent accessing each home, leashing up the dogs and unleashing.

It is possible to walk all three dogs at once, but you have to do two important things first: One, get permission from each neighbor to walk the dogs together, and two, make sure the dogs will get along before you commit.

You may be able to only walk two of them together and the third one alone. And if the neighbors don’t agree, then you’re stuck walking all three separately.

If you do get permission to walk them together, do it on a trial basis. Here are a few tips from professional dog walkers:

• Don’t use retractable leashes when walking multiple dogs. You need full control at all times.

• Leashes can easily get tangled; hold two in one hand and one in the other, or buy a 3-way leash coupler to minimize tangles.

•If one or more dogs gets aggressive or bullying, walk them separately to prevent the problem from getting worse.

•Avoid walking them in areas where a lot of other dogs are present. If all three bolt toward another dog, you may not be able to hang on to them.

SALT- Matthew 5:13 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing.” Born Again Believers are called to be Salty in our difference from the worldly culture, morals, kindness, forgiveness, love, light, honesty and work ethic. Also our defiance against sin, standing for the weak and fallen, Faithfulness to Church, Family and Country. Water causes Salt (sodium chloride) to lose its saltiness. Watered down Christianity causes that. Then we don’t follow the “Old Paths’’ (Jer. 6:16), Keep our selves Godly (Jude 1:20) and keep ourselves in a Bible Believing Church. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” Hebrews 10:25..... SALTY.

WEDDING REGISTRY TIPS

Don’t hesitate to include expensive items on your registry. Couples also may be hesitant to include especially expensive items on their wedding registries. However, the couples’ parents and other close relatives may be honored to purchase more expensive items, so couples should not feel embarrassed to include them on their lists. It’s also important to note that many retailers, after couples’ wedding days have come and gone, discount registry items that weren’t purchased. So even if no one purchases the more expensive items, including them on a registry may significantly reduce their cost for couples who want to buy such items themselves after tying the knot.

He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.... In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. ~ John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866

Soundproof Your Home

What’s the first step in sound proofing your home? Finding which rooms have the least amount of sound resistance. To do this, make sure everyone is out of the house, unplug all electronics and close all doors and windows. Take a quick walk through your house and pause for a few moments in each room to evaluate which ones are the noisiest. Now consider if you’re installing a media room or teenage recreational room where volumes will be blasting on TV’s and stereos.

With this information, you should have a good idea of where you need to soundproof and create barriers against noise. Here are some tips to help you achieve the optimal result of peace and quiet:

• Plant trees and hedges along the exterior of your home, perhaps along a fence. Not only do trees and hedges help with the environment and provide a good amount of privacy, they also slow down the travel of noise from the neighborhood into your home.

• Insulate your walls and ceilings. Better insulation in your interiors and exteriors won’t just drive away excess noise, it will also reduce your heating and cooling bills during the hot and cold months.

• Seal up all cracks and holes around windows and doors, and add double glazed windows to your current glass panes.

TIPS TO MAKE AN OLDER HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT

While new homes are being built to be more energy efficient than ever before, thanks to a growing green building movement and increasingly strict building codes, the age of existing dwellings continues to present challenges. More than 40 percent of the housing stock in the United States was built before 1969 and simply wouldn’t stand up to today’s standards. Yet, much can be done to help homeowners improve their buildingenvelopetoreduceenergy use and increase efficiency.

Improving your home’s energy efficiency can help save money, keep you more comfortable, reduce pollution, and prevent global warming.

THE TYPE OF LODGING ACCOMMODATION

Hotel: Hotels cater to people who will be staying a few nights. They often feature spacious lobbies and some amenities, such as swimming pools or exercise rooms. Some hotels have restaurants attached to them. Hotels are among the most popular accommodations. According to the travel resource Dauntless Jaunter, hotels are categorized according to a “star” rating system.

· 1-star: This is a bare essentials hotel that offers just the basics with no extra bells and whistles.

· 2-star: A two-star hotel is usually reasonably priced and has minimal services and amenities and a neutral decor.

· 3-star: This hotel is meant to offer an above-average stay as far as options and amenities. Modern conveniences can be expected at three-star properties.

· 4-and 5-star: These hotels offer deluxe service and guests can expect luxury amenities and a wide range of offerings at these properties. However, they also can expect to pay more for accommodations.

DID YOU KNOW?

Perhaps in part to its widespread use in St. Patrick’s Day decorations and imagery, the shamrock is widely considered the official symbol of Ireland. But while St. Patrick is believed to have used the shamrock to teach the Christian notion of the Holy Trinity, the clover was never an official symbol of Ireland. That designation is held by the harp, which has been featured on the coat of arms of Ireland for centuries. The harp also was adoptedastheemblemoftheIrish Free State when it separated from the United Kingdom in 1922.

POISON PREVENTION TIPS

Choose products with child safety caps. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports nine out of 10 poisoning incidents involving children occur in the home. In 2019, approximately 67,500 children under the age of five ended up in emergency rooms due to unintended poisoning. Parents can protect children by keeping medicines in their original child-safe containers. When buying cleansers, cleaners and detergents, choose products that have strong child-safety lids and seals.

IFrom Open Mic Mis teps to Stand-Up Su e : The Kai Von Doom Story

n the realm of comedy, there are those who stumble into it by chance and those who are born to grace its stages. Kai Von Doom, a rising star in the Rochester comedy scene,embodiesbothnarratives.From childhood listens to Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy to commanding New York audiences with her wit, Kai’s journey into comedy is a story full of humor, resilience, and unyielding passion.

Born and raised in Rochester, Kai’s comedic odyssey began as a covert affair, sneakily tuning in to her parents’ comedy specials long before she was old enough. Immersed in the hilarity of sitcoms like Seinfeld Living Single, she became interested in the writing field. A serendipitous misstep at an open mic, mistaking it for a karaoke night six years ago, propelled her into the spotlight. Since that fateful night, Kai “[hasn’t] been off stage since.”

BY SUZIE WELLS

Educated in Rochester CSD schools, Kai started at U of R as an English major and switched to St. John Fisher, majoring in communication and minoring in film and TV. She worked in digital marketing until a recent layoff. Undeterred, she channels her creative energies into video gaming, cosplay, and writing, currently working on a horror film.

Propelling Kai through the ebbs and flows of comedy is a profound reverence for the transformative power of laughter. For her, comedy isn’t just about punchlines and applause; it’s about human connection. e mere sight of smiles and the symphony of laughter throughout a room inspire her. She says, “Laughter helps us forget about whatever worries we may have going on throughout the day, and that feeling is what drives me.”

Whether at Comedy at the Carlson or smaller stages around the area, Kai loves the genuine interactions with her cra . “It’s nice to get to see real feedback that I’m good at what I do and that I’m leaving an impression on people. In marketing, it’s all numbers and analytics I’m looking at on a computer screen, so doing something where I can have audiences coming up to me … is a breath of fresh air,” she explains.

Reflecting on the metamorphosis of the Rochester comedy scene, Kai says the pandemic caused a major shi : “ ere’s this influx of people who were just craving human interaction or events to go to and hadn’t really been to comedy shows before. So, for better or for worse, there are comics and audience members who don’t understand show etiquette. It’s been interesting and frustrating to see how things are changing!”

Performing across Western and Central NY, and even NYC, Kai cherishes moments of personal triumph, especially her inaugural

appearance at Comedy at the Carlson and the first show she produced.

Key to successful comedy, Kai says, is simply a focus on the crowd. “People get too caught up in either trying to be smarter than everyone else, edgier than everyone else, or trying too hard to prove that they aren’t edgy.” Instead, Kai says, “If people are laughing, that’s all I’m concerned with and that’s how I know I’m doing a good job.”

In an industry ripe with hecklers, absences, equipment failures, and inattentive crowds, she makes sure she has backup jokes in case a set is bombing, and she brings other comics to shows in case they need to step in for someone.

Kai says, “It’s all about being prepared for anything the universe throws at you.”

Kai aspires to write for TV sitcoms and horror movies, as well as to tour the country doing standup, but says that “even if I don’t go any further in comedy, I am just glad and honored that I can laugh with so many people every week.”

Kai advises aspiring comedians to learn to write and find your own voice before you worry about the marketing. Comedy, she insists, should be fun. “Keep the fun in it and you’ll be good!” she says. Going to shows and making friends is key – “People want to book people who they like being around. I want to work with anyone who is serious about their cra , especially if they’re good at it.”

Kai says there’s always something going on in the Rochester comedy scene and she encourages everyone to come out to local comedy shows and open mic nights.

is month, Kai looks forward to hosting five shows for Sahib Singh at Comedy at the Carlson as well as performing in Jake’s Comedy Jukebox in April at which she’ll sing with a live band along with telling jokes. For more on Kai, search Kai Von Doom Comedy on Facebook and kai_vondoom77 on TikTok.

Here’s a Tip

* Use a muffin pan to make cookie cups for ice cream or fruit. Just flip your muffin pan over, and press dough over the upturned wells. It will puff up a little, but once it settles, they make very nice bowls. I do this with pizza dough as well. Prebake for a few minutes to form the bowl, then fill with ingredients and complete baking.

* If you can put a tension rod in the cabinet under your sink, you can use it to hang spray bottles for extra storage. It’s amazing how much space clears up, and it’s easy to find the bottle you need.

* Travel a lot? Make use of those shower caps by pairing up shoes and using the shower cap to hold them together while simultaneously protecting your clothes from the shoe bottoms. Smart!

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

* Alcatraz was the only prison to offer its inmates hot showers, but that had nothing to do with personal comfort. Rather, the reasoning went that if the prisoners were used to the hot shower-water, they’d be unable to cope with the frigid temps of the San Francisco Bay and hence deterred from attempting to escape.

From updating/paving the park walkway to adding a disc golf course to new events to redoing a building to a small venue spot, the work hasn’t gone unnoticed by your residents. Kudos!

Wine Sales in Grocery Stores

Breakfast

on a Saturday Morning Brings Me Joy

The grocery stores don’t need to sell wine. They are already dominating the local revenue streams of our communities. Why jeopardize the small wine & liquor stores that help make up our local commercial sectors. It’s just greed on the part of the grocery chains. Write your legislators and say “no” to grocery store wine sales.

Handicapped parking

After moving back to Webster 1 1/2 years ago from the Buffalo area, I resumed attending a restaurant in Webster to meet friends and acquaintances from 9:00AM to about 10:30AM to make garrulous conversation. The conversation is all over the place, and it is made up of people in their 70s to early 80s. The number of attendees can vary from 6–12 people. However, adding to this happy merriment is my engaging with a lovely 7 year disabled girl named Delilah. She is brought there by her mom who puts her in a high chair cause she can’t walk and can’t talk too well, but she understands. They sit in a booth about 10 feet down the aisle from our group. That sweet blonde haired little girl has stolen my heart and the others in my group. I wave to her and blow kisses from where I sit and call her name. She then exhibits a smile that enthralls my heart. For the past 3-4 weeks I have brought her candy and dolls. Her mom brings her to our table to interact. Yes, Delilah and friends bring joy to me to start the weekend.

AGAIN, this must be addressed! Monday, a red SUV sped up and quickly pulled in front of me, cutting me off. Then they pulled in the [Department store] (same one as me) and sat in the vehicle for 5 minutes before getting out. My point? In such a hurry to cut me off then sat 5 minutes before getting out. He had parked in a handicapped spot, literally jumped out, bent over, pulled a young child out of a car seat, carried the toddler and briskly walked into the store. PHYSICIANS!! Please do a better job of passing out tags! Seriously, the abuse must stop! This man’s strength did not warrant that close spot by any means. His walking was fantastic. If disabled mentally? Seizures?…he had a young child with him while driving. The excuses must stop, these people know they are abusing this! There must be more spots for the true ambulatory disabled.

Treatment Given for Dry Eyes Fails to Improve Condition

1331

Alzheimer’s Disease

Other Dementias found that engaged persons with dementia in horticultural therapy-based (HT-based) programming solicited higher rates of participation than traditional activities (TA) programming. In addition, a separate 2013 study in the journal Dementia found that exposure to a therapeutic garden had a positive impact on quality of life for people with dementia. And it’s not just dementia patients who can experience the cognitive benefits of time spent in nature, as the Hagley Museum and Library reports that numerous studies have found exposure to nature improves cognitive function.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I developed chronic dry eyes after having cataract surgery on both eyes. I consulted an ophthalmologist who specialized in treating dry eyes. She prescribed Restasis, but my condition didn’t improve after three months of use. She then switched me to Xiidra and instructed me to use it for two more refills, which lasted for nine months.

At the end of my conversation with the dry eye specialist, she said that she had done everything she could for me. I inquired about the Miebo drug that was recently approved or the LipiFlow procedure. She mumbled something, then said “goodbye” and “good luck.” Was she openly admitting her incompetence?

-- K.J.W.

ANSWER: It’s hard for me to believe that a dry eye specialist wouldn’t know about the new treatments available in their area of expertise, and I can only guess that there was some kind of miscommunication. As a generalist, I have to know at least a little bit about a whole lot of conditions, rather than a specialist who knows a whole lot about just a few conditions.

For most people with dry eyes, starting with artificial tears is usual and effective, but I certainly have had patients use artificial tears many times daily and still have unpleasant symptoms. I also recommend trying to avoid dry areas, especially with high airflow.

Most people with dry eyes have blockages in the meibomian glands, which secrete an oily substance that helps prevent the eye fluid from drying. It also forces the lacrimal glands to make more tears. (This leads to the paradox of people having red, watery eyes when they really have dry eye disease.) Trying to unblock the meibomian glands with baby shampoo and warm water is another treatment generalists like me often try. But when these therapies aren’t working, an ophthalmologist is essential. An ophthalmologist can do an exam to be sure if the meibomian glands are blocked. Among the treatments they have available are the ones you tried: cyclosporine (Restasis), which works well for a minority of people; lifitegrast (Xiidra), which decreases inflammation; varenicline (Tyrvaya), which increases tear production; and Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane), which works by reducing evaporation.

If the problem really is the blocked glands, doctors can also consider more powerful treatments to unblock them. One of these, Lipiflow, is a heat-based treatment. My colleagues in ophthalmology, to whom I refer, tell me that this is often successful, although the process may need to be repeated -- sometimes every six months and sometimes longer. Ophthalmologists can also place plugs to reduce the loss of tears through drainage.

FINANCING FUNERALS

According to Lincoln Heritage Funeral Advantage, the average funeral costs between $7,000 and $10,000. It can be easy to overlook planning for such a large expense, and many people may think their funeral costs will be covered by their life insurance policies. However, that isn’t always the case and certain complications can arise. The funeral planning information guide Funeral Basics states that sometimes insurance policies become invalid if payments have not been made. Policies may have liens on them, or some named beneficiaries may no longer be alive. This can stall the process as issues are worked through. In addition, it can sometimes take between six and eight weeks for beneficiaries to receive life insurance policy payouts. Since many funerals take place within a week of a person’s death, it’s unlikely that surviving family members will be able to finance funerals with life insurance payouts. In addition, some policies may not be assignable, which means the benefits cannot be assigned to go to a third party who will file the claim for you (i.e., the funeral home or an assignment company with which the funeral home partners). It’s important to determine if an existing policy is assignable and to take appropriate measures if it is not. Individuals may want to consider burial insurance or preneed funeral insurance. Another option is to use preplanning services, which allow people to prepay for funeral expenses and make planning decisions regarding the services and burial so that family members will not be tasked with financing and/or planning a funeral during a difficult time in their lives.

HOW RISING FOOD DEMAND IS AFFECTING FARMING

Decreasedcommercialfarminginterest: Fewer people are working in farming. Land prices for expansion, new government mandates and regulations, and the impact of immigration and trade policies have made farming less attractive than it once was. Fewer commercial operations result in a diminished food commodity output.

Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.

People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.
