PAW’S CORNER

How to train an excited, reactive dog

Penny Saver

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 1-year-old puppy, “Shellie,” gets very excited when she sees another dog approaching. Because she’s already 26 pounds, I’m worried that she’ll soon break away from me while on walks. What can I do? -- Glen H., Plattsburgh, New York

DEAR GLEN: Keeping control of your dog on the leash is such an important skill -- and there is a way to achieve that with Shellie.

First, work on curbing overall reactivity. Does Shellie get really excited when the leash appears? Does she practically drag you out the door for walks? Get control of that first:

-- Bring out the leash, but don’t put it on Shellie right away. Wait until she’s calm, then attach the leash.

-- Next, walk away from the door. Lead Shellie around the house. She’ll be pretty confused, and that’s fine.

-- Stand at the door and have her sit. Open the door slightly, then close it. Repeat. Repeat again until Shellie is staring at you like, “are you nuts?”

-- Now, exit the house, but only if Shellie stays by your side or slightly behind you. If she tries to rush out, repeat the door exercise.

Now, let’s address that reactivity on walks. Here are a few tips that can help:

-- A sturdy, short leash is essential to maintaining control.

-- Train Shellie to walk at your side with a little slack in the leash.

-- Work on core commands when no other dogs are around: Come, Sit, Stay, Heel.

-- Place yourself between Shellie and an approaching dog. Move her to your other side and keep her slightly behind you. You’re her protector right now.

-- Avoid practicing “meet and greets” with other dogs until Shellie is no longer reactive on sight.

ese training methods are just a start, but they’ll put you both on the right track. Most importantly, be consistent with training and daily walks.

True or False

Male and female whooping cranes have specific gender names like most animals.

The Whooping Crane was very close to extinction by the year 1973 with less than 50 birds in the entire population.

The Whooping Crane is considered to be among the oldest living bird species on earth.

The International Crane Foundation,

located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, helps conserve cranes and their ecosystems around the world. The organization provides information, leadership, and encouragement to help resolve the issues affecting cranes. People need to cooperate to protect and restore Whooping Crane populations and their ecosystems. The holiday serves as an important opportunity to spread awareness to people about the situation with Whooping Cranes.

Whooping Cranes in the wild can have a life span of up to 7-10 years.

Whooping Crane chicks grow at a slow speed during their first summer.

The average adult Whooping Crane flies at a speed of about 7— 15 mph.

The Whooping Cranes usually lay their eggs in clutches with two eggs per clutch.

The Whooping Crane is considered to be the tallest bird in North America.

You can celebrate this holiday and learn more about the whooping cranes by visiting savingcranes.org.

Here’s A Tip

* From charcoal grilling expert Kingsford, here's a great tip to use when grilling chicken: "When applying a dry rub to chicken pieces, it's o en hard to keep the rub affixed and it's even more difficult to keep the chicken's original, golden color. Try painting chicken pieces with yellow mustard prior to applying the rub. Not only will the rub stay in place, your final product will be visually appealing -- without any trace of mustard flavor."

* When wrapping vegetables in foil packets to grill, make the seams on the sides. is way, the veggie packets can be turned over for even cooking and to avoid burning on one side. You can even label the outside of the foil in permanent marker. It won't affect the taste of the food.

Determine the charging time of your vehicle. The automotive experts at J.D. Power note that EVs come with different types of charging systems. Level 1 are the most readily available EVs, and these come with a standard 120-volt three prong plug that’s common in modern homes in the United States. That’s convenient, but charging using a Level 1 outlet may take a significant amount of time and only provide a few miles per hour of charging. If you’re renting an EV, confirm which type of car you’re getting and emphasize to the rental agency that you prefer a car that can be charged easily and effectively. One that can be charged overnight and provide hundreds of miles of driving time after a full charge is ideal.

The American Hotel & its Four Generations of Reynolds Family Members

BY SUZIE WELLS

According to current owner, Pat Reynolds, the American Hotel has been a landmark in the Lima, NY community for more than 160 years, and for over 100 years, the Reynolds family has been its guardian. e large yellow painted brick structure with columned portico on the corner of Routes 5 & 20 and 15A, lies at the heart of the community, at its crossroads “between Boston, Buffalo, and beyond” since the late 18th century, welcoming travelers of all walks of life.

Since 1920, the hotel has been owned and operated by the Reynolds family, who operates the restaurant and bar on the first floor, rents out rooms on the second floor, and lives on the third. In 1920, amidst Prohibition when the bar turned into a soda fountain, the hotel offered a full menu including breakfast, lunch, and dinner and catered to the travelers of Routes 5&20. e repeal of Prohibition in 1933 changed the business into a successful licensed establishment, and it was the only licensee in Lima until the mid-1940s. During this period, owner John K. Reynolds hired bartender, Jimmy Hendrick, who remained with the American Hotel until his death 48 years later. e Reynolds say Hendrick “was as much a fixture at the hotel as the pillars supporting the front porch.”

John F. Reynolds (“Junior”) married Aretha Costello of Livonia Center in 1940 and took over management of the business from his father in 1946. At this time, during World War II, the dinner business dwindled, and the owners shorted the menu to just lunches. is worked out well because between 1941 and 1953, Junior and Aretha were too busy parenting seven children (five boys and two girls) to run a full restaurant, bar, and hotel. In 1942, long term employee, Dorothy Magar, came to the hotel and has remained to this day.

In the 1950s, Junior and Aretha had a prosperous business despite the increase of licensees in town and the opening of the NYS ruway in 1954, which turned Routes 5 & 20 into just another east-west thoroughfare. Many motels and restaurants on 5 & 20 went out of business in the ‘50s and never reopened.

In 1955, the American Hotel changed again – the sign over the bar that read “NO LADIES served at the bar” came down for good and bar stools were placed up against the men’s tall standing bar. Many people still remark how short they feel sitting at the bar.

In the ‘60s and ‘70s, business was steady, and Reynolds says many a Friday night was spent by Junior and the locals watching boxing matches on the black and white RCA television, and on Sundays they watched either the Browns or Giants football games.

In July 1979, Junior died, and an era ended. In 1971, Terry Reynolds – the youngest of the seven children – came from

Michigan State to help his ailing Dad run the hotel. Pat (fi h) returned from the Navy in 1974. And in 1983, Rose (sixth) re-settled in Lima a er various careers took her from San Francisco to New Hampshire. us, the third generation of Reynolds’ helped their mother in the hotel’s daily operation.

In 1992, Aretha Reynolds passed away, and Pat became owner with his sister Rose’s help. Rose’s delicious homemade soups have grown an impressive reputation in the Greater Rochester Area and beyond.

e Hotel today remains an institution in the region, providing quaint accommodations, delicious food, libations, and hearty soup, thriving on hospitality and goodwill. Many employees have been with e American Hotel for at least a decade.

Sadly, age caught up with the portico and it is in serious need of repair. e historic structure demanded appropriate repair and restoration. ankfully, they received a grant from the Landmark Society of Western New York, but due to inflation and complications beyond their control, the grant does not fully cover the cost to properly restore the portico.

As the portico is now deteriorated and actively collapsing, demolition began on May 6th, and with a sense of urgency, the Reynolds family seeks the community’s help to help bridge the gap between the grant funding and the actual cost to save this historic structure to allow future generations to experience the American Hotel, a longstanding tradition in Western New York.

Save money and stay cool as temperatures rise

Excessive energy bills can be a concern in spring and summer, just as much as they are in the winter. So how can you save money while keeping your home cool? The solution is simple: Top up your attic insulation.

A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit to work harder than necessary over the warmer months. Most attics areinsulated,butoftentimestheamountofinsulationpresentisinadequate - especially in older homes. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps.

Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay a fireand moisture-resistant batt insulation, like Roxul Comfortbatt, on top of joists, running perpendicular to the first layer. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists; cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don’t forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather-stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical fixtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney.

When a house is insulated properly, energy savings can add up over time. Remember,insulationstartsworkingthemomentitisinstalledandcanlast for the life of the building.

CARE FOR TOOLS PROPERLY

Homeowners often choose to save money and learn valuable skills by doing their own home improvement projects. These minor or major renovations are made much more successful by having the right tools for the job. Investing in good tools can be smart, but those tools are only effective if they are accessible and in good repair. Homeowners who emphasize taking care of their tools can make DIY projects that much easier and more rewarding.

Low Iron Levels Might Affect Blood Donor’s Depression

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am wondering if there is any link between low iron and depression/anxiety. I am a 37-yearold woman, and I started taking Lexapro a few years ago. I upped my dose last year because I wasn’t feeling great, and my doctor and I decided that it was a good step to take. During the years that I have been taking Lexapro, I have also been a regular blood donor. I am CMV-negative, so I have blood suitable for newborns. The Red Cross says I am a “hero for babies,” and I enjoy doing something good. I haven’t donated in about five months, and I am feeling significantly better regarding my depression. I know that donating blood affects iron levels, but does it also affect the concentration of Lexapro in my body? If not, can low iron be contributing to my depression? I would love to know the answer so that I can possibly continue to donate, perhaps less frequently. -- J.M.

ANSWER: First, thank you for donating so regularly. CMV is a virus most people have been exposed to, and like most herpes viruses, it stays in the body forever. Newborns and premature babies, as well as organ transplant recipients, need CMV-negative blood, and there aren’t many CMVnegative people who can donate.

Depression and anxiety are both tightly linked to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Lexapro doesn’t increase serotonin, but it does make the transmission of serotonin from one nerve cell to another more effective by reducing the reuptake of serotonin at the nerve junction. Low iron levels have been shown to reduce serotonin levels, so this may be part of the reason why your depressive symptoms have been worse.

However, there are many other reasons, both inside and outside of your body, that can make depressive symptoms worse. Still, if you do have low iron levels, you can replace iron faster and keep it normal, despite blood donation and menstruation, with an iron supplement. (It would be best to check with your doctor on this.) If your depression gets better, then this would be pretty good evidence that low iron does affect your mood. (Note: You can have low iron and not have anemia at all.)

Find the right donation frequency so you can still help without putting your mental health in danger.

Level: Advanced

DID YOU KNOW?

The Internet has made it easier than ever before to access information quickly. But people who look to the Internet for answerstotheirmedicalquestions may be doing themselves more harm than good. A 2013 study from the Pew Research Center found that one-third of study participants had gone online to diagnose a medical condition. While the Internet can be a valuable resource, self-diagnosing medical conditions can be dangerous, as the risk of misdiagnosing signs or symptoms is considerable. But misdiagnosis is not the only potential problem of relying on the Internet instead of certified physicians for medical advice. “Cyberchondria” is a term used to described the unfounded escalation of concerns about certain symptoms a person might beexperiencing.Theseunfounded concerns escalate as individuals search for and read information about their symptoms online. In fact, a 2008 Microsoft analysis of online search patterns found that one-third of the hundreds of thousands of people examined in the analysis tended to escalate their medical-related searches, potentially turning relatively minor medical conditions into something far worse, all without consulting a doctor. Men and women concerned about symptoms or medicalproblemsshouldresistthe temptation to self-diagnose online and should book an appointment with their physicians instead.

Road Test

Save-a-lot, Give-a-lot

Instructors, please be nice to parents and children. Learning to drive, teaching your child to drive, and taking a road test are all stressful enough. Please be kind and courteous. Greet people with a hello and leave them with a goodbye or to have a nice day. It will go a long way for a moment that both new drivers and parents will remember for a long time. If you are having a bad day don’t pass it on to the community members you are serving. It is not an easy job, I am sure, and maybe it is not where you want to be. However, while you’re there, be nice. - Parents

Imagine my delight when the manager at Save-a-lot in LeRoy walked up to me and said: “The gentleman out at the propane bought you a plant, here’s the receipt”! By the time I got up there he was gone. Your wonderful gesture mad not only my day, but I had my 3 little granddaughters with me who talked all the way home about what a wonderful world we live in that people would do that to surprise someone they don’t even know! There are 4 people who will look at that beautiful plant all summer and smile at life’s surprises. Thank you!

Awesome Service

District Budget Notice

I want to thank the entire Staff of Upstate Bottle Return in Henrietta. The Staff is friendly, polite and go out of their way to help customers; the store is clean and the staff always makes me feel welcome. Thank you, Upstate.

Stunning Local Scenery

I love springtime when all the flowers start to bloom and the street comes alive. I know I can’t be the only one who gets a smile to my face.

Got our District Budget Notice. I have to ask, why do we need more NEW school buses time after time? Students graduate, new students begin Elementary school. Does the overall student population change that much to justify more buses? Or are buses that are 3 or 4 years old undrivable and unsafe? We have mechanics at most schools to maintain them. I have to drive my car into the ground because I can’t afford a new one every couple years. Then budgeted new Chromebooks. Are students keeping them after graduation? Are the schools reusing what they already have? I don’t see any statistics showing how many NEW students the budget increased for. Feel free to enlighten me if I’m wrong. Please make it simple so I can understand the facts without being manipulated by long, drawn out verbiage meant to confuse and hide real numbers.

St. George - Forsythe Funeral Home andM uments

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK

People with multiple hobbies recognize there are many great ways to spend one’s time. But even people with plenty of ways to pass their time may find themselves wasting time each day, a phenomenon that seems to be growing.

In its 2014 “Wasting Time at Work” survey, Salary.com found that 89 percent of participants acknowledged wasting time at work each day. That marked a sharp increase from a year prior, when 69 percent of workers surveyed reported wasting time at work. Thirty-one percent of workers surveyed admitted wasting roughly 30 minutes per day, while another 31 percent estimated they waste around one hour each day. Perhaps the most surprising finding from the survey was that 4 percent of participants admitted they waste four or more hours, or at least half a typically eight-hour workday, at work each day. Some people might be wasting time out of sheer boredom, but many may be able to trace all those squandered minutes and hours to inefficiency.

WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK
