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.

Farmers’ markets may sell organic produce at a cost comparable or even lower than other retailers. That’s because local farmers don’t have to transport their items as far as retailers whose foods were shipped from far away places.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Scan local advertisements: Church bulletins, newspaper classified ads and online bullet boards typically boast a number of items for sale, many of which are being sold at a fraction of the cost of new items. Before embarking on shopping trips, check these advertisements to see if there are any preowned items that meet your needs.
In addition, there are a number of social media groups that enable members to advertise their items for sale. Others are encouraged to inquire about the sales and make their own offers. Though it might take some effort, it is possible to get brand-name used merchandise for less.
Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.
When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

Prevent summer sun and heat damage to your car
Use visors and car covers. If you cannot keep your vehicle parked in shady areas, do what you can to reduce direct heat and sunlight exposure. Covers can protect against UV rays and any sap or bird droppings that may fall on the vehicle. Place reflective visors on the windshield to redirect sunlight so it doesn’t turn the inside of the car into an oven. Keeping the windows open slightly also can keep the air in cars fresh.

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.
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.

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.

CREATE A SALE-WORTHY SHOWPLACE
The sentiment “don’t judge a book by its cover” can be applied to many situations. When it comes to selling their homes, homeowners should remember this adage as they prepare their homes for prospective buyers. Homeowners who want to make their properties stand out can take the following steps.
De-personalize the home. Homeowners fill their spaces with family photos, heirlooms, personal interests, and other conversation pieces. Prospective buyers may not be able to see past personal belongings and may even be distracted by them. For example, buyers who have strong beliefs about animal welfare may not buy a home displaying hunting trophies. Remove personalized items where possible, replacing them with generic items.
Improve the exterior. HGTV says that curb appeal is crucial to making a strong first impression. A messy or lackluster landscape can turn buyers away even before they reach the front door. Mow the lawn and make sure shrubbery has been trimmed. Seasonal potted flowers and plants can help make the house look polished. Repair cracks or damaged walkways, and consider a fresh coat of paint on trim around windows and doors. Pressure-wash siding if necessary.
Put things in storage. Rent a storage unit to house items that can make a home appear cluttered. Clean out closets and cabinets, so that when buyers “snoop” during appointments or open houses they see orderly storage areas. If closets are brimming with stuff, buyers may assume the house doesn’t have enough storage space and move on.
Make it light and bright. Open up all of the drapes and blinds, and turn on overhead lights so the house is well-lit. Add table lamps or other fixtures to especially dim rooms.
Create a hotel experience. Forbes suggests making bathrooms look like a spa. Stack a few pretty washcloths tied with ribbon, add some scented candles and faux plants and buy bathmats and towels in coordinating tones.
Remove extraneous items from kitchen counters and replace them with vases of flowers. In addition, set up dining spaces as if one were sitting down to a meal, and ensure appliances are sparkling clean.
Use common ‘scents.’ Skip the fish, bacon or other aromatic meals for a few days, as such foods can leave lingering aromas. Baked goods, vanilla and cinnamon might make for more appealing scents.
Making a home sell fast involves preparation and the knowledge that buyers are often greatly influenced by their first impressions.

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.
Hocus Focus
BY HENRY BOLTINOFF
BRIGHTER
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.
Reach out to your neighbor first, not the town
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!

Illuminating History: The Journey of RMSC’s “Carl” Projector
BY KAYLEE DUDA
Within the heart of the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC)’s Strasenburgh Planetarium lies a fascinating piece of technological history: the “Carl” projector. is iconic instrument, which has been enchanting audiences for decades, represents a significant chapter in the story of astronomical projection and public education.
e“Carl”projector,officiallyknownastheCarlZeissModel VI,wasmanufacturedbytherenownedGermanopticscompany Carl Zeiss. Founded in 1846, Carl Zeiss quickly established itself as a leader in precision optics and scientific instruments. By the mid-20th century, their expertise had expanded to include planetarium projectors, which became central to the field of astronomical education.
In 1968, the RMSC acquired the Carl Zeiss Model VI, affectionatelynicknamed“Carl”bymuseumstaffandvisitors.At thetime,itwasoneofthemostadvancedplanetariumprojectors in the world, capable of accurately simulating the night sky and the motions of celestial bodies with unprecedented precision.
“Carl” was a technological marvel of its time. e projector featured a sophisticated array of lenses, light sources, and mechanical components that could project thousands of stars, planets, and other celestial phenomena onto the dome of the planetarium. Audiences were treated to breathtakingly realistic views of the cosmos, from constellations visible in the night sky to dynamic simulations of planetary orbits and eclipses.
e introduction of “Carl” marked a significant milestone for the RMSC, enhancing its reputation as a center for scientific education and public outreach. e projector’s ability to transport viewers to the farthest reaches of the universe captivated both young and old, fostering a deeper appreciation for the wonders of astronomy.
Over the decades, “Carl” has been an integral part of countless educational programs and public shows at the RMSC. Generations of students and visitors have marveled at the beauty of the night sky, learned about the mechanics of the solar system, and gained a greater understanding of our place in the universe. e projector has been a silent yet powerful educator, inspiring curiosity and a passion for science in all who experienced its magic.
Inadditiontoitseducationalrole,“Carl”witnessedsignificant advancements in technology and scientific understanding. e projector’s long tenure at the RMSC allowed it to evolve alongside these changes, incorporating new data and insights into its presentations and remaining a relevant and cherished part of the museum’s offerings.
As the RMSC continues to innovate and expand its educational mission, “Carl” remains a beloved fixture, a testament to the enduring power of technology to inspire and educate. While newer digital projection systems have been introduced to keep up with more modern technological innovations, the Carl Zeiss Model VI projector holds a special place in the hearts of many.
To honor this legacy, the RMSC has undertaken efforts to preserve and maintain “Carl” as a historical artifact. Special exhibits and retrospectives have been curated to celebrate the projector’s contributions to the museum and the broader community.
e story of the RMSC’s “Carl” projector is one of innovation, education, and inspiration. From its origins in a German optics workshop to its role as a centerpiece of the Strasenburgh Planetarium, “Carl” has illuminated the wonders of the universe for countless individuals. As we look to the stars and the future of astronomical exploration, we also remember and celebrate the incredible journey of this remarkable machine.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up. If it’s a mental break you need, get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS
Bessie Smith (1894-1937): While there are female instrumentalists in the genre of jazz, in the early days many, such as Bessie Smith, were vocalists. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Smith would come to be known as “Empress of the Blues” thanks to her powerful voice. By the 1920s, Smith was among the highest paid black performers. Tragically, Smith’s life was cut short when she died from injuries sustained in a car crash on her way to a show in Memphis in 1937.
