IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES
Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.
PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
What to do when your pet won’t housetrain
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a 9-month-old puppy a few weeks ago and named him “Chestnut.” He’s wonderful, but has one problem. He is still not housetrained. I think part of it is from the shelter, where the dogs routinely poop in their cages and rarely are taken outside. Plus, he was rescued from a pet hoarding situation. How can I resolve his housetraining issues? -- Glenda in Dothan, Alabama
DEAR GLENDA: Congratulations on your new family member! I know the housetraining situation is frustrating, but have patience.
If you haven’t taken Chestnut to the veterinarian yet for his first checkup, schedule that appointment. e vet will rule out any physical problems or hidden illnesses that might be contributing to the problem, and can give some helpful advice on working with dogs from a traumatic background. at background does have an effect on housetraining. Chestnut spent formative months in locations where little to no training took place, and he learned to follow the habits of the other dogs around him. So, you’ll have to retrain him away from those habits, and keep the entire experience a positive one.
Take Chestnut for walks two to three times per day, and (this is important) at the same times each day. He needs to know that at sunrise, noon and sunset, he will have “outside” time. Bring his favorite treats with you. At first, shower him with treats for everything: putting on the leash, walking next to you, sitting on command, and every time he poops or pees. Make him look forward to pooping outside.
Never scold him if he poops inside. Just clean up and try again. If he poops in specific areas of the house, block his access to those areas if possible. Keep training positive and be patient, patient, patient. He will come around.

ATM Fees local hometown bank
A Big Thank You
The Humane Society of Livingston County would like to thank the Tom Moran Memorial Golf Tournament for choosing us as one recipient of the proceeds from this event. These much needed funds will go towards the care of the cats we take in from our county.
Thank You!
A grateful thank you to the young man from Henrietta who was visiting friends in Caledonia and was at the veggie stand on South Road as we pulled in at the same time. I just wanted 3 ears of corn and did not have exact change, and I was trying to figure out a way of getting change. He was very kind and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them” and proceeded to tell me “They have the best corn [he’s] had” and I must agree! It was delicious! Thank you for being so sweet and paying for my corn.
On Sunday we tried to get money out of our local hometown bank only to find that BOTH the outside and inside ATMs were out of use. Because of this we had to use another bank’s ATM and were charged a $3.75 fee. Now wouldn’t you think that our bank would refund that fee? Wrong! They said no we don’t refund those fees. All our money in this one bank and we can’t access it unless we go elsewhere. This is terrible customer service, and we definitely will not be doing any further loans or business with this bank. I’m sure if I asked a loan officer at this bank, they would refund it, but the tellers won’t. That’s enough for us.
Life on the Lawless [Local Waterway]
Like many local taxpayers, I used to enjoy scenic walks along the public pathways of our [local waterway]. But, this historic landmark has been desecrated in recent years, becoming a racing track for speed boats that soak unsuspecting pedestrians with their massive wakes that splash onto the walkways. I cannot even push my child in a stroller without her being nearly rundown by unlicensed ATVs and dirt-bikes.

The word “condiment” comes from the Latin word “condimentum”, meaning spice, seasoning or sauce, and “condire”, which means to preserve, pickle or season. Although the word was first used to describe pickling fluid and seasoning in the mid-1400s, it has come to include a wide range of different products in modern times.
Why are condiments such a common feature on dining tables? Condiments are known to be a typical compliment to food because of their ability to personalize and add taste or flavor to different dishes as desired. Condiments also offer a whole sensory experience through smell, sight, sound, and touch, making dishes much more attractive.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By

* Coca-Cola can remove blood stains. Pour a whole can into your wash, along with the blood-stained clothing and your usual detergent, then run a normal cycle. The laundry will come out stain-free.
Be cautious of hepatitis C: Individuals should avoid behaviors that put them at risk of contracting hepatitis C, which causes inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis C can be contracted by receiving a piercing or tattoo in an unsanitary environment, through injecting or inhaling illicit drugs, through unsafe sex, or if you are a healthcare worker exposed to infected blood through an accidental needle prick.

Vomiting and Difficulty Eating Could Signify Gastroparesis
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old healthy, active woman. I normally work out six days a week and used to be in very good shape. I’m having stomach issues, which caused me to lose 20 pounds since the end of last year. I was thin to begin with and have lost a significant amount of muscle and most of my body fat. I was diagnosed with gastric intestinal metaplasia in 2019 and had trouble eating, but I didn’t lose any significant weight at that time. No treatment was recommended beyond a suggested follow-up in a year or two.
I have difficulty eating anything but a small amount of food, and if I do “overeat,” I vomit. Eating is beyond a chore, and I continue to lose weight. I have been worked up with no conclusions in sight. I had a colonoscopy two years ago that was normal. I had an abdominal CT scan with and without contrast, an endoscopy, an MR enterography, and a brain scan this year, with no results that explained my problem.
I am seeing another GI doctor soon, but I’m not particularly hopeful. I am 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and now weigh 129 pounds. I am feeling desperate. Do you have any ideas? -- L.W.
ANSWER: Weight loss can have many different causes, and it seems like your doctors have carefully looked for many of the concerning ones. Key features of your story are that you are vomiting and losing weight. Intestinal metaplasia is when the lining of the stomach develops a microscopic appearance, similar to the intestines. This can predispose people to stomach cancer, but intestinal metaplasia can also be associated with low acid in the stomach.
Vomiting after eating normal amounts of food is a concern for a stomach mass, but between the endoscopy and the CT scan, it should have shown up. I would be concerned about gastroparesis, where the stomach doesn’t squeeze properly. Vomiting after eating is a hallmark symptom, as is feeling very full after a little food. A gastric emptying study can confirm the diagnosis.

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* e best way to cook leafy, green veggies such as spinach and kale, is to stir fry them in just the water le over from rinsing. It works very well to steam them, and adds no fat!
* Keep track of capacity and dimension of your cookware by using a permanent marker to notate the specifications on the bottoms of each baking container you have. is way, when a recipe calls for a 13-by-9 baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish, you can easily tell which one you need. is is especially important if you don’t spend a lot of time cooking.
* “When you need to crush nuts or a cracker for crumbs, you can use a small can of soup to crush these in a plastic bag. is is for when you don’t have a rolling pin.” -- J.R. in Virginia

College is the first taste of true independence many young students experience. Whereas mom and dad were always around to make sure kids were out the door on time and homework was done, that safety blanket is no longer there once kids move into their dorm rooms.
The transition from high school to college can be both exciting and difficult. But parents can get a head start on that transition by encouraging their youngsters to be more independent during their final year of high school.

Consider smaller airports - It may seem more convenient to utilize larger airport hubs for travel, but driving a little further to smaller, regional airports can help you save money on fares. Plus, these airports may be less crowded, helping to calm stress and make the overall trip a little easier.

CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING CARPETING
When the time comes to choose flooring for their homes, homeowners may be overwhelmed by the vast array of options at their disposal. The choice between carpet and hardwood flooring, laminate or tile is a matter of personal preference. People have long extolled the virtues of hardwood flooring, but carpeting can be just as stylish and provides a host of other benefits as well.
Carpeting insulates rooms in the summer and winter, adding that extra level of protection against the elements. Carpeting also absorbs sound in a home. Many appreciate the warmth and cozy feeling of carpet, especially when stepping out of bed. Carpeting also can increase the level of safety at home. According to the Carpet and Rug Institute, carpeting makes areas of play safer and may also reduce the severity of an injury in the event of a fall.
Today, there are many different types of carpeting available. Selecting the right carpeting for a room comes down to identifying the level of traffic in a particular room, the attributes homeowners would like the carpet to have and any other needs that fit with their lifestyles.
Take time when shopping for carpeting, which is a substantial investment that can last for many years if the right material is chosen and installed correctly.

Researcher Challenges Myth of Untouched Forests Before White Settlement in Western NY
BY MARK OBBIE
What did the Bristol Hills and western Finger Lakes forests look like when white settlers began moving here in the late 1700s? A SUNY Geneseo geographer will present research that shows the significant role of Indigenous land management long before European-American settlement, and how legacies of their land use persist today, if you know where and how to look.
SUNY Geneseo geographer Stephen J. Tulowiecki will give his talk, “Finger Lakes Forests Before European-American Settlement,” to the Bristol Hills Historical Society on ursday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Historical Society’s century-old Grange Hall at 6457 State Route 64 in Bristol Springs.
Tulowiecki has extensively studied the effects of periodic light burningoftheforestsbyIndigenouspeopleandhowthoseandother horticultural practices le enduring marks on our landscape. “It’s nottruethatwhitesettlersfoundonlyuntouched,old-growthforests when they began populating our region,” he said.
His and others’ research has mapped the locations of Indigenous towns and major trails throughout the western Finger Lakes and Genesee River valley. During his talk, Tulowiecki will highlight how groupings of old white oak trees today might indicate past Native American land use, as these trees thrived in open forests maintained by light burns.
“Understandingthelandasitwashundredsorthousandsofyears ago can inform our understanding of the land we now live on and can instruct us on how to mimic Indigenous land-use practices to achieve certain land management goals,” Tulowiecki explained.
Tulowiecki is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Sustainability Studies at SUNY Geneseo. He earned his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Buffalo and holds bachelor’s degrees in Geography and English from SUNY Geneseo. As a GIScientist and biogeographer, his work focuses on forested ecosystems prior to European settlement in the Northeastern U.S. His research examines the factors that shaped past geographic distributionsoftreespeciesandexploresmethodologicalissues,such as spatial representations of ecological phenomena and positional uncertainty in species data.
He uses geospatial tools and quantitative methods, such as geographic information systems (GIS), predictive modeling, statistical computing, and programming to learn more about Western NY before European-American settlement. He is also author of e Letchworth State Park Atlas, featuring hundreds of pages of maps documenting the park’s geology, ecological communities, weather, water, Native American and 19th-century settlement, and tourism origins.
Tulowiecki’s work also utilizes unconventional “found” data sources, including original land survey records from the 17th to 19th centuries. His dissertation focusedontheimpactsofNativeAmericansettlementontreespecies composition in Chautauqua County, New York, around 1800 CE.
Tulowiecki is a member of the Ecological Society of America and the Association of American Geographers. His teaching interests include GIS, environmental issues, and geospatial and statistical so ware, with future research aimed at applying recent methods in geographic study – such as information retrieval, text mining, and citizen science – to understanding past forest conditions in the Northeast.

THE BENEFITS OF PREPLANNING YOUR FUNERAL
Preplanning provides time to make the best decisions. Men and women who preplan their funerals have ample time to decide just what they want their memorial services to be like and how they want to fund those services. Men and women trusted to make those decisions upon the death of a loved one will need to make those decisions more quickly and likely won’t be in the correct frame of mind to make decisions that will honor their loved one’s legacy.
Robert Stansbury Minemier
August 23, 2024
Dansville: Robert Stansbury Minemier, age 96, passed away Friday, August 23, 2024 at his home amidst family after a long illness.
Bob, born in Dansville on January 9, 1928, son of the late Stansbury and Myrtle Smith, was a lifelong resident of Dansville who contributed to, and enjoyed life in, this community.
Bob was, as his grandson, Robert, wrote of him “the guy everybody likes.” “Minnie” was a family man, friend, chauffeur, golfer, bowler, photographer, hunter, backyard chef, chaperone, handyman and landlord who adored not only his family and friends but his home town and all its various events. As a youth, he was a night flower packer for Kelly Brothers, a track tamper for the Dansville railroad and had a VERY brief stint as a busboy at the King’s Daughters home. He was a member of the Brae Burn Golf/Bowling associations. As a long-time member of the Dansville Fish and Game Club, he was a proficient skeet shooter; it was shared that he once scored a perfect 100 at a NY state-wide skeet tournament. More recently, he was that lovely man on the porch at 20 Chestnut who would wave to you as you drove past.
At 17, he joined the US Army, trained at New York University and Fort McClellan, served in the European eater in the 41st Replacement Battalion and was honorably discharged in 1946. He returned to Dansville. He was married for nearly 77 years to Betty Ann Mitchell who predeceased him.
Bob joined the US Postal Service and worked as a carrier for 37 years, first with a walking route and then as a rural carrier. He was a long-time member of the American Legion, worked on the Post’s Mail Call, and was a bi-weekly visitor to the Bath Veteran’s Hospital. He was a life member of the Protectives Fire Company, served as its President and worked with its Little League team.
He was elected three times as a Village trustee, and as such, was concerned with environmental issues. Along with others, he worked on the initial three-county efforts in recycling practices.
When their five children went on to college, Bob and Betty began other community activities. Together, they participated in Village projects such as the Clara Barton Chapter of e American Red Cross, the Dansville Public Library and renovation, the Dansville Area Historical Society (where Bob served on the Board) and the Park gazebo project. ey were members of the Livingston County Historical Society, the Landmark Society, County Council on the Arts and supported the Village Summer Concerts. Bob was an early Noyes Hospital Meals on Wheels deliverer and served as a dialysis-treatment driver for local patients to Hornell. He was a regular nursing home visitor and delivered monthly “treats” to the staff at the County Center in Mount Morris. He occasionally picked up the tab for customers of the Sunrise Restaurant. In summers he rooted for the Hornell Dodgers and then the Dansville Ballers.
Bob and Betty were elected Presbyterian Church trustees. ey received the Dansville Lions Club’s Robert J. Uplinger award for community service as well as the Town of N. Dansville’s Citizen(s) of the Year.
Bob is survived by his children, Diana (Roger McCauley), Robert Jr. (Pam Bump), Ronald (Christine Perez), Leah (Donald MacLeod), and Martin (Suzanne Moretti); 7 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-granddaughters, and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by sisters, Elizabeth Minemier and Emma Dutcher; grandson, Robert Minemier III and great-grandson, Hunter McKissock.
A graveside service will be held at Greenmount Cemetery at 10am Friday, August 30. Arrangements are by the Hindle Funeral Home, Inc, 271 Main St., Dansville. Online remembrances may be left at HindleFuneralHome.com.

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Many working parents struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their responsibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.
A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also acknowledged feeling that technology has ruined the definition of a family dinner.
Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted effort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.
