PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta

TREATING A CAT’S INGROWN TOENAIL
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I don’t know how it happened, because I check and trim my cat’s nails regularly. Today, “Sparks” cried out in pain when I checked his right paw, and that’s when, on closer inspection, I saw that one of the middle claws had grown around, down and into the pad of his paw! How did I miss it? And what can I do to fix this? -- Sharon in Bennington, Vermont
DEAR SHARON: Cats are very good at hiding illness and injury. Plus, some cats have longer tu s of fur growing between their claws, and this can obscure nail problems. Add that to the routine struggle of trimming a cat’s nails while they wriggle and nip at you to try and escape, and it’s surprisingly easy to miss a claw or two.
Have a partner help you by gently holding your cat in a comfortable position while you inspect his paw more closely. Use a magnifying glass to get a better look at the ingrown claw. If the claw has not penetrated the skin of your cat’s pad -- it may be pushing against the skin -- you should be able to safely trim the nail away from the pad. Use sturdy nail nippers made for cats, and trim only a small part of the nail -- enough to release the pressure on the pad. Revisit the nail in two days to trim it back further, and monitor closely from now on. However, if the claw has penetrated the skin, removing it can be painful and stressful for your cat. Make an appointment with the veterinarian, who will be able to numb the area slightly, trim the claw, and remove the part remaining in the pad while preventing infection.

National Hunting and Fishing Day, formalized by Congress in 1971, was created by the National Shooting Sports Foundation to celebrate the conservation successes of hunters and anglers. From shopping center exhibits to statewide expos, millions of citizens learned to appreciate America’s sportsman-based system of conservation funding. That system now generates more than $1.7 billion per year, benefiting all who appreciate wildlife and wild places.
FRicky Block, The Fisherman’s Fisherman Shares His Wealth of Knowledge
BY SUZIE WELLS
or Ricky Block of Cli on Springs, the outdoors has always been home. An avid fisherman, trapper, and hunter, Ricky is passionate about everything that comes with outdoor living, and now he’s passing that passion on to the next generation. Friends call him “the fisherman’s fisherman,” a title that suits his deep connection to nature and his generous spirit of sharing that knowledge with others.
“Everything in my life basically revolves around the outdoors,” Ricky says. His life once centered around his masonry business, but a er breaking both legs 12 years ago, his doctor insisted he find a new profession. Ricky’s solution? He bought a sawmill and dove into woodworking, cra ing rustic furniture and signage. “ e doctor wasn’t too happy,” he laughs. His handiwork can be seen at Macedon’s butterfly trail in Canal Park, for which Ricky carved the signs and built the benches.
Conversation with Ricky flows seamlessly from memories to outdoor advice. He’s as likely to share a vivid childhood story as he is to explain how to cut deer meat to avoid a gamey taste. Growing up in Western New York, Ricky developed a deep love for the natural world and a passion for teaching. He’s always eager to share what he knows with young people, neighbors, or anyone interested in learning. One neighbor kid, for instance, now frequently joins Ricky on fishing trips, absorbing the fisherman’s tips and tricks along the way.
Ricky’s enthusiasm for life extends to his personal story. Born a er his mother labored for over a month, receiving amniotic fluid injections to ensure a full-term pregnancy, Ricky embraces his ADHD, finding joy in juggling multiple projects at once. “I enjoy having many projects in progress,” he says.
He’s quick to praise Christine Wagner for her patience and support over the years. ey’ve known each other for more than 40 years, he says, though Christine initially kept her distance due to Ricky’s wild personality. Now, she embraces his quirks, including the eclectic contents of their fridge – venison, buck tails, leeches, and even maggots. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner,” Ricky says. Christine sees how much Ricky’s hunting and fishing save on their grocery bill, which makes the critters in the freezer worthwhile.
Empty nesters now, Ricky and Christine’s spacious home has gradually transformed into a workspace for his many hobbies. “One
room is for the fly- and jig-tying, another for office-type materials ordering, and the dining room is the painting station,” he explains. Recently, Christine asked for someofthehouseback, so Ricky is converting the basement into a devoted bait-making space.
Ricky’s love of the outdoors started early. Growing up on Mud Creek in East Palmyra, he says, “My feet were soaked until I was 18 and moved out.” He and his friends spent their youth catching nightcrawlers and minnows to sell to local bait shops. His early experiences taught him a deep respect for nature and a desire to share what he learned. He recalls fond memories of teaching ice fishing and safety at the former Boy Scout Camp Dittmer in Phelps. Now, he’s working with FLX Treehouses, the camp’s new owners, to continue that environmental education.
Ricky believes strongly in learning by doing. His childhood was full of trial and error – like the time he and a friend built a boat that immediately sank in the creek. He also fondly remembers trapping with his grandfather, who owned a bait shop. At age nine, Ricky caught his first raccoon using a technique his grandfather taught him, only to be told by a game warden that the method was illegal. But the warden didn’t just reprimand Ricky; he took him to a trapping course the next weekend, where Ricky learned the legal ways to catch game.
Ricky says that as a kid, he “got a lot of flak for [his] desire to hunt, fish, and be outdoors, but that was the happiest place [he] could be.” at’s why he’s so dedicated to getting kids involved in fishing and outdoor activities. “I was that kid once,” he reflects.
However, “Put your phone down and enjoy the world,” Ricky advises. And “always carry-in, carry-out; leave nature better than you found it.” One opening day of trout season, Ricky arrived at a favorite fishing spot but didn’t cast a line. Instead, he spent his time filling two garbage bags with litter le by careless visitors.
At the heart of it all, Ricky sees a higher calling in his connection to nature. “I’d rather praise Him in the outdoors that He made,” he says. For Ricky, the happiest place will always be the great outdoors, and he’s determined to share that joy with others, one fishing trip at a time.

Please Enforce Political Sign Laws
Local zoning law states that any and all political signage are prohibited to be displayed more than one month prior to its corresponding election. Yet we see political signs and flags for months and sometimes years, throughout our neighborhoods and roadways. It is not up to our neighbors to police these infringements. It is the duty of local zoning officials including inspectors and zoning boards. Please enforce political sign infringements as you would any other zoning code.
Mind your own business and Judge not lest ye be judged
My best friend of thirty years recently went through a divorce (I’d say sad, bitter, nasty, but all the adjectives seem obvious and unnecessary) and all but a few of her friends have left her, not wishing to “pick sides” or not wanting to be involved with either party for fear of contamination. Truly so many people are divorced nowadays, why does anyone treat another like a leper? She’s a strong woman, keeping her head high, trying to do her best for herself and her children, even as the world now seems so cold, lonely, and harsh against her just because her marriage didn’t last. Come on, people. Help lift each other up. Don’t tear people down when they’re already feeling so low.

Having Surgery for a Hernia Could Be Riskier Than Living With It
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m an 85-year-old man. I’m in good health, and I exercise and swim at the gym for 3 hours every other day. I am not overweight, and the only prescription I have is a nose spray. I do have mild idiopathic neuropathy, but I’m still quite agile and mobile. I have a hernia in my lower abdomen. I had one just like it on the right side that was repaired 35 years ago. My family doctor seems to think that having surgery at my age could be riskier than living with the hernia. The pain isn’t terrible, but it is frequently uncomfortable. Should I consider surgery? --
C.E.K.
ANSWER: You should consider it to the point where you consult a surgeon. The operative risk is relatively small, and despite your age, it sounds like you are in good shape. However, after consulting with a surgeon, you may decide against surgery. The most important factor is how much the pain from the hernia bothers you. In general, we recommend surgical repair for symptomatic hernias, as the pain tends to gradually increase over years. No surgery comes without a risk, and your family doctor is right that it is riskier to have the surgery than it would be to live with the pain. But the risk is not enormous, so if the pain is to the point where the hernia is bothering you a lot, it is certainly worth discussing the risks and benefits of surgery with an expert surgeon.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I saw a post somewhere saying that we should throw away all vitamins or supplements with magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide or microcrystalline cellulose. This means I would need to discard vitamins, antacids, and even my glucose tabs that I occasionally need for reactive hypoglycemia. Do you have any guidance on this? -- L.D.
ANSWER: In 1538, a Swiss physician with the pseudonym “Paracelsus” articulated the basic premise of toxicology: The dose makes the poison. This remains critical today.
Magnesium stearate is commonly used in food, cosmetics and medicines. It is generally regarded as safe at doses below 175 grams for an average-sized adult. A typical supplement might contain as much as 20 mg. It would take well over 8,000 doses at once for a person to reach a dangerous level.
Titanium dioxide is used as a food coloring, in sunscreen, and in medications like styptic pencils. It has long been considered safe in the United States and Canada. But its status in Europe has recently been changed, so it is no longer recommended as a food additive. The tiny doses of it in medications and dietary supplements are very unlikely to cause harm, but many manufacturers in the U.S. are beginning to stop using it, more due to perception than proven harm (which there is no evidence for).
Microcrystalline cellulose is simply an indigestible fiber source made from wood pulp. It is not absorbed. It is used in many foods and as a filler in tablets and capsules. You can also buy it as a supplement or use it as a thickener in cooking. I don’t have any concerns with magnesium stearate or microcrystalline cellulose at the kinds of doses used in pharmaceuticals and supplements. I also don’t have any concern with food-grade titanium dioxide as a coloring agent in food or supplements.

The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more in our morning walk we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds or the rains out of these delicatetextureswhileweslept.
How beautifully the leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days! There are exceptions, of course. The leaves of most of the fruit-trees fade and wither and fall ingloriously. They bequeath their heritage of color to their fruit. Upon it they lavish the hues which other trees lavish upontheirleaves....
But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.
~John Burroughs, “The Falling Leaves,” Under the Maples
Have Not Forgotten and We Will Never Forget
BY SENATOR PAM HELMING
On a sunny September 6, I watched my first grandchild – my granddaughter, Bristol – get on the bus for her first day of Kindergarten.
I was thinking about that moment as I reflect on 9/11. Because on September 11, 2001, I was my driving my own young kids, who were just about Bristol’s age, to school.
I was thinking about how the world changed for us and for our kids. How 9/11 shaped the world my granddaughter and my two grandsons are growing up in now.
We all remember it. A bright, beautiful, sunny morning 23 years ago. We remember where we were when news of the attack broke through on our television screens and radios. Social media, of course, was not yet widely used.
When I heard the radio reports in my car, I remember looking up at the sky – a picture-perfect day. I thought, this can’t be happening. But the images I later saw on television confirmed it. A staggering 3,000 innocent American lives taken. ousands more injured.
responders and members of our nation’s military, continue to put their lives on the line for us so we may live safe and free.
And to this day, many of the brave first responders who rushed into the burning buildings continue to deal with life-altering health conditions. Too many have died as a result. All have suffered.
Two days a er that first day of school, I spoke at the Patriot Day service at Bible Baptist Church in Williamson.
It was probably because I was in a church that I thought about Father Mychal Judge, the New York City Fire Department chaplain who was the first identified casualty of the September 11 attacks.
Father Mychal was tending to victims in the North Tower when he was hit by a downpour of debris as the South Tower collapsed. I’m sure we all remember that image of the rescue workers carrying his body from the rubble.
In a news story on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one of his friends, Father Dominic Monti, said that it was still a very difficult picture to see. en he said, “It’s death, but it’s death that came out of love, out of service.”
Service. A simple yet profound word.
We honor the service of our firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, all the rescue workers of 9/11. e service of the men and women of our Armed Forces. We give thanks to those who answered the call to respond that day and to those who answered the call to serve in the months and years that followed.
9/11 inspired a new generation of service in our nation. ink about all those who decided, just days a er 9/11, to join the military, volunteer with their local fire departments, donate their money to support victims’ families, give their time to support non-profits.
One way we can continue to honor those who lost their lives is by showing our appreciation and respect for those who have taken a vow to serve us today. ese men and women, including our first
We can all show our respect and appreciation for them. In our neighborhoods and communities, in the halls of government, in our churches, in our classrooms, and at our dinner tables.
We Will Never Forget has become the anthem of 9/11.
Etched in our memory is the image of the rescue workers hanging the American flag and the banner that read “We Will Never Forget.” e photo taken of this moment would become one of the most iconic images in U.S. history.
And we will never forget. Just as we will never cower to those who attack our country and attempt to strip away our freedom.
We are strong. We are resilient. We are the United States of America. We are proud Americans.
To all of you who serve our community, please know you have my unwavering support and gratitude. I will never forget your sacrifice, your bravery, your commitment to serve others. Indeed, that is life’s highest calling.
To be a proud American is to never forget. I am proud to be an American.

YOUR LAWN & GARDEN FOR WINTER Mulch leaves. Falling leaves are a telltale sign that winter is coming. In lieu of raking leaves as they begin to fall, homeowners can mulch them into their lawns. Scotts®, an industry leader in lawn care, notes that mulching leaves is a great way for homeowners to recycle a natural resource and enrich the soil of their lawns. While it might not be possible to mulch fallen leaves in late autumn when they begin to fall en masse, doing so in the early stages of fall should be possible so long as the lawn is not being suffocated. Scotts® recommends mulching the leaves to dime-size pieces to a point where half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS
Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in, it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures.While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more.
A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.
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.
