Small but Mighty! Irondequoit-based Pet Rescue Serves Rochester Community for 20 Years
BY CAROLYN LAUBER AND SUZIE WELLS
Located in the heart of the Irondequoit community is Pet Adoption Network (PAN), a place where compassion meets dedicationandwherethelivesofhomelesscatsaretransformed through love and commitment. PAN is a bit of a hidden gem, quietly but steadfastly making a profound impact for more than 20 years on the lives of cats and kittens in need and the families who have welcomed them into their hearts.
PAN operates with a mission that resonates far beyond its modest appearance. Founded in 2003 on the belief that every pet deserves a second chance, PAN – an all-volunteer-led, no-kill, 501c3 organization – has become a beacon of hope for cats in dire circumstances. rough their unwavering diligence, PAN strives to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats, ensuring they find new, safe accommodations where they can thrive.
“We’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings,” shares Kate Sullivan, president and co-founder of PAN. “We pour our hearts into the work that we do. To date, we’ve placed nearly 3,300 cats in loving homes, all due to our supporters and the hard work of our team of volunteers who devote their time and talents. Together, we’re making a difference.”
Sullivan says Rochester’s stray and feral cat population exploded especially since shelters had to close during COVID. She says, “it’s disheartening” that so many cats are mistreated or neglected, and they’ve been working hard to make a dent in that population. Each rescued and adopted feline is a step in the right direction. “ ey don’t ask to live like that,” Sullivan says.
PAN’s undertaking begins with rescue efforts that span the Greater Rochester region. e group works tirelessly to save disadvantaged cats; many are found abandoned on the streets, in unsuitable residences, and/or with physical mistreatment. At times, cats are removed from shelters where overcrowding and limited resources threaten their well-being.
PAN also partners with other local groups to provide emergency intake and assists with some trap-and-release services for feral cat colonies. O en taking in cats with medical needs or behavioral challenges, PAN seeks to heal both physical wounds and emotional scars by procuring the necessary veterinary care and rehabilitation to prepare them for their forever homes.
Central to PAN’s mission is its resolution to match cats with compatible families. Unlike some larger organizations, PAN takes an individualized approach, ensuring that each adoption is a perfect fit for both the pet and the person.
Jay Bachmann, PAN’s volunteer coordinator and board member since 2016 and recently appointed Vice President, affirms the importance of this strategy. “ e personal touch in our process is designed to reassure you that you’re making the right choice and to give you the confidence that your new cat or kitten will be a perfect match for your family.”
Bachmann says, “I have always loved animals, with a special spot in my heart for cats. Volunteering with PAN allows me to help directly improve the lives of animals in our community. My favorite moment with PAN was in 2020 when my wife and I adopted two cats from PAN who have become treasured members of our family.”
Sullivan remembers a cat rescued from the back of a packed garage in a terrible part of the city. e cat’s ears were frost-bitten, she was so dirty and terrified, but within a few weeks at Sullivan’s own home, the cat was back to health and melted into her household, acting like she’d been there her whole life. She was already 12 years old, but she slept on Sullivan’s bed for the rest of her life.
My favorite memory with PAN was when they placed their 3,000th cat, aptly named Jubilee. She was super sweet, and this was a giant milestone for PAN and a cause for celebration, a very proud moment for all of us and proof that we were making a difference.
Sullivan adamantly implores, “Please spay and neuter your pets, and please consider opening your heart and home to another pet to help alleviate the stray/feral population around the city.”
Whether you’re looking to acquire a new furry friend, foster, volunteer, donate, or simply spread the word, there are many ways to support PAN’s mission. By choosing to adopt from PAN, you gain a loyal companion and contribute to their ongoing endeavors. Volunteers are crucial to providing temporary foster homes, assisting with events, or lending professional skills such as photography or veterinary care. Donations of money, supplies, or your time are invaluable in helping PAN continue to save lives. Visit www.petadoptionnetwork.org to learn more.

Come summertime, people anticipate spending plenty of time outdoors enjoying the warm weather and taking in the scenery. In addition to lazy days spent at the beach or around the pool, summer is a great season for road trips and other weekend getaways.
While many people look forward to the sunshine and heat of summer, extreme weather can be problematic for vehicles. The warmer season can take its toll on car paint and mechanical components can bake under the glaringsunandheat.Furthermore, temperatures can quickly escalate inside the vehicle, potentially damaging upholstery andanythingelseinside.

HOW TO ENCOURAGE KIDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR TEETH
Parents of young children know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. Kids have a long history of disliking dental care, which can frustrate parents who know the importance and long-lasting benefits of proper dental hygiene.
While many youngsters may never excitedly run to the bathroom to brush their teeth, parents can try various approaches to get kids to embrace proper dental care.
Start early. Parents should not hesitate to begin cleaning kids’ teeth once the first tooth appears. The earlier dental care is part of a child’s routine, the more likely he or she is to accept it as part of everyday life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a softbristled brush with a small head. Ideally, use a toothbrush designed for infants, brushing teeth once per day at bedtime. The AAPD advises taking kids to visit a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than the child’s first birthday.
Make it a group effort. Young children love to imitate their parents’ actions and behaviors, and moms and dads can use that adoration to their advantage when trying to get kids to brush their teeth. Brush teeth together as a family, making it seem like an enjoyable twice-daily activity. Get down on kids’ level and show them how to brush. If kids are resistant, engage them in conversation while brushing so they don’t even realize they’re cleaning away.
Involve kids in choosing their dental care products. While parents should be mindful of the type of toothbrush their children use, always sticking with products recommended by their child’s pediatric dentist, let youngsters choose their toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids might prefer a particular flavor of toothpaste, and a colorful toothbrush with a favorite film or television character might make kids more enthusiastic and less fussy about brushing.
Compliment kids after positive dental appointments. When pediatric dentist appointments go well, compliment children and express your pride in them for taking dental hygiene as seriously as they do.

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. ***

POOL SAFETY ESSENTIALS TO LIVE BY
Keep water sanitary. Make sure pool water is chemically balanced so that it is comfortable to swim in and will not harbor any pathogens that can make swimmers ill. The pool equipment company Pahlen says the ideal water pH is 7.4 because that is the same as the pH in human eyes and mucous membranes, and it also supports good chlorine disinfection. The free chlorine content of a pool can range from 0.5 to 1.6 to keep it sanitary. A quality testing kit can help pool owners balance water.

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.
-- 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!
-- 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.

PREPARING FOR A NIGHT OUT
Know the dress code. Dress accordingly for the destination and planned activity. The dating and socializing resource Girls Chase advises that slim, black jeans can look classy on a night out. Footwear is important as well, especially if you will be doing some walking or dancing. Women who choose to wear heels may want to stash a foldable pair of flats in their handbags in the event they need some relief.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE REPLACING WINDOWS
Moisture
Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.
Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

Chinch bugs: The experts at BobVila.com report that chinch bugs are not necessarily problematic when their populations are limited to around 10 to 15 bugs per square foot of lawn. In such instances, chinch bug populations are generally controlled by ants and ladybugs. However, extreme heat and drought, problems that have plagued various regions in North America in recent years, reduce the populations of bugs that feed on chinch bugs, thus increasing the population of these unwanted guests that feed on grass. GardenTech® indicates that damage from chinch bugs is most visible between June and September. That damage begins with grass taking on a purple tinge before it turns yellow and then brown after wilting.
Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energy-thirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’reoperatingatpeakcapacity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.
Stop cooling an empty home. A cool home might be the ultimate necessity during summer heat waves, but there’s no reason to cool a residence when no one is home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, operating thermostats more efficiently can help homeowners trim their cooling costs by as much as 10 percent. One way to be more efficient with thermostats is to keep the house warmer than normal when no one is home. Programmable thermostats can be set so air conditioning units turn on shortly before residents arrive home, ensuring the house is comfortable and no energy is wasted.

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

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.

SOCCER Day
JULY 2024 28
In 1863, the first football association was formed in London. The association standardized and established the first version of soccer rules. They also banned the use of hands in the game and created standards for the size and weight of the ball used in the game. The new set of rules and standards divided the game into two classes: football and rugby.
Who is the most famous soccer referee?
1314 | The Ban on Soccer Edward II bans soccer because it is dangerous and occasionally fatal to the participants.

Pierluigi Collina, an Italian former football referee, was named FIFA’s ‘Best Referee of the Year’ six consecutive times. He is widely considered to be the best soccer referee of all time. China hosted the first World Cup for women in 1991.

Thank You to All!
For
Handicap
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!
Storm Clean Up
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.
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
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.

THE GROWTH OF THE SOLAR EMPLOYMENT SECTOR
According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, there were 260,077 solar workers working at 8,601 solar companies in the United States in 2016. The census also found that the five states with the most solar jobs in 2016 were California, Massachusetts, Texas, Nevada, and Florida. Twenty-eight percent of state solar workers in 2016 were females, making women the largest demographic in the solar industry. Latinos and Hispanics (17.2 percent), Asians or Pacific Islanders (9.1 percent), and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (9 percent) rounded out the top four demographics employed by the solar industry. Of the 260,077 solar industry jobs in 2016, more than 137,000 were classified as installation jobs that paid a median wage of $26 per hour. With roughly 38,000 jobs in 2016, solar manufacturing was the next biggest employer of workers in the solar industry.
