DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 68-year-old female with osteopenia. My doctor wants me to take a bone medication such as Boniva or Fosamax. I’ve read that folks with esophageal issues may be harmed by taking these. Can you explain why? -- C.M.C.
ANSWER: First off, we don’t usually treat isolated low bone mass (osteopenia) with powerful medicines like the ones you mentioned, which are both bisphosphonates. These medicines have the potential for harm and should only be used when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.
A person with low bone mass and a history of a fragility fracture has osteoporosis, regardless of their bone density. Some people with low bone density may be at such a high risk for fracture (based on their FRAX score) that treatment is indicated. Before treating someone with medication, many authorities recommend a 10year risk of a fracture of 20% or higher (or a risk of a hip fracture of 3% or higher). You should find out your FRAX score.
The issue with the esophagus is that if pills get stuck in the esophagus, they can cause severe damage to it. So, people with esophageal disorders -- such as achalasia, esophageal stricture or varices, or Barrett’s esophagus -- should not take these types of medicines by mouth. People with reflux without these complications can take oral bisphosphonates as long as they can comply with staying upright for 30 minutes after taking them.

Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.
The Alzheimer’s Association says that more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. By 2050, that number could rise to as high as 16 million people. More than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, says the Canadian Alzheimer’s Association.
Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.
Exercise: Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with learning and memory.
The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.
Quit smoking: The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels.
Eat healthy foods: Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables,
whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.
Consume caffeine: Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health. A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine. Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.
Work the brain: Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.
A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.
Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

Take to social media. Though it certainly has its detractors, social media remains wildly popular. An April 2023 report from Global WebIndex indicated 60 percent of the world’s population uses social media, and the daily average usage is two hours and 24 minutes. Data from Meta indicates that 83 percent of Instagram users discover new brands while using the platform. Such reports illustrate how effective positive reviews and references to small local businesses can be. Consumers won’t need much time to share a story about a great local business on their social media accounts, but that small investment of time can pay big dividends for those companies.

With the giant shadow cast by Covid finally fading, Avon Rotary’s festival planning is revving up for a potential record year. Already there are 150 vendors registered, more than any since 2008 when numbers were first tracked. And both entertainment stages are fully booked to provide day-long performances.
“We’re excited to invite you to the 36th annual festival,” said festival Chairman Collin Hayes. “Since 1986, the festival has attracted visitors from across the region to celebrate our rich agricultural history and all that Avon has to offer.” Last year more than 6,200 people accepted the invitation.
Avon Rotary says when they first planned this community festival, they chose to celebrate corn because of its impact on our region. “Corn has been a staple of our agricultural heritage ever since the Native Americans grew corn here as one of the “three sisters,” along with beans and squash.”
e Festival, held every year on the second Saturday in August, draws thousands of people from the region to see friends, browse arts and cra s, listen to a wide range of music, play games, enjoy festival food as well as locally brewed cra beer at the Beer Garden, and don’t forget the annual corn eating contest.
Anchored by Rotary’s popular corn booth, about 20 other vendors will be ready at 10 a.m. Aug. 10 to serve their versions of tasty delights. Cornhole opportunities are expanding too. Along with a very competitive level of games with $1,000 in prizes for serious players, there will be games for folks who just want to have fun. “Don’t miss out on competing for prizes,” said Julie Carney, the event’s organizer. “ e proceeds will benefit the Livingston County Humane Society.”
Further in keeping with the promise of family fun, a bounce house and duck pond are featured in the kid zone, along with Mr. Scribbles, a favorite. Also this year, the corn-eating contest will be open to all ages.
“ e Rotary Corn Fest team has been working hard to create a fun-filled summer destination for families of all ages,” club President Karen Vanderbilt said. “We remember the joy of small-town festivals, and we hope to create lasting memories
for everyone who attends. ere’s something for everyone at the Corn Festival!”
As always, the heart of the festival are the arts and cra s vendors. With roughly 150 vendors, it’s easy to find practically every kind of item a cra fair can offer. Among the many are jewelry, dog and cat gi s, needle arts, home décor, clothing, wood cra s, Christmas items, resin art, fiber art, ghee, used vehicles, honey, Mexican cra s, wine, pottery, sunflowers and more, seemingly without end.
Entertainment will be topnotch with bands on the main stage, including Your American Jukebox Big Band playing music from the 1920s to today, Bob’s Brothers Band offering rock and soul music, and folk singer-songwriter Adrianna Noone.
Performing on the Genesee Street stage will be Miss Natale’s Dance Centre, Dance Emporium, the classic rock group Trilogy and Gates Swingers Big Band, playing big band classics. To cap off the day, the ever-popular Skycoasters will play a free 3-hour concert at 7:30 p.m.
Hayes explains, “As the Avon Rotary Club’s largest fundraiser, all of the club’s proceeds from this event are invested directly back into supporting many great causes in the community,” including Boy Scouts, the Avon Food Pantry, Teresa House, Linking Hands for Learning, Shelter Box, Honor Flight, Genesee Valley Rotary Camp, Rotary International Youth Exchange, and many more.
e festival has handicapped parking available as well as regular shuttle service from the main parking area at the Avon High School, only minutes from the festival site.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment
Scout local garage sales: Garage sales are one way to bargain hunt and benefit the environment at the same time. Who knows what treasures you may be able to find at nearby garage sales? When shopping, set a spending limit and look for certain items you need, such as a bicycle or furniture. You may be surprised to find a quality item that costs much less than a brand new store-bought product.

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.
Grate-“fall”y Yours!
Why don’t those in charge pay attention to when a major event is happening when deciding to close roadways? It was very frustrating for those trying to get to [local event] when we couldn’t get there via [local roadway]!
Many thanks to the two kind people who helped me when I fell in the Tops supermarket. Knocked off my feet, I had a tough time getting up. These two (strangers to me) were patient and cheerful as they offered assistance and waited to be sure that I was OK. I appreciate both of you so very much!
Another 4th of July. You park in front of people’s homes to watch the fireworks. The morning after, here I am picking up the cans and garbage you tossed on the ground. To those lazy people, take your trash with you then dispose of it on YOUR property, NOT MINE. Stop being so lazy and disrespectful.
So Underappreciated
One thing I’ve noticed, especially during recent extreme warm temperatures and weather alerts, are that landscape employees are so underappreciated and under paid! Most of these workers put their body through torture in all weather elements... Please show these HARD working employees the respect they desperately need!

Consider relocating. The pandemic forced many companies to transition from in office working to remote working overnight.That trial by fire could have lasting results.A 2020 survey of 317 Chief Financial Officers and leaders in the finance industry found that 74 percent will move at least 5 percent of their previously on-site workforce to permanently remote positions after the pandemic ends. The survey, conducted by Gartner, Inc., also found that nearly one-quarter of respondents will move at least 20 percent of their onsite workers to permanently remote positions.That could make it possible for millions of working professionals to relocate to regions with a lower cost of living than their current towns or cities.

(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:
Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.
Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.
Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!

Guy Bowles Bennett Jr. June 23, 2024
Wayland – Guy Bowles Bennett Jr., 94 years of age, passed away Sunday, June 23, 2024 at his home on Granger Rd., Wayland.
Guy was born July 20, 1929 in Wayland at his childhood home on Lincoln St. He was the son of Guy B. Sr. and Mildred (Sisson) Bennett. He grew up in Wayland and was a lifetime resident of Wayland, albeit for a few short stints in Cincinnati, Binghamton and Schenectady. He was a graduate of Wayland Central School in 1947 and was a 1951 graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Guy and Anita Brooks were married February 3, 1951 in South New Berlin, NY and together celebrated over 71 years of marriage prior to Anita passing away April 14, 2022. Together Guy Jr. and Anita raised three children, Guy Brooks, Joanne and James.
Guy worked at General Electric as an engineer for 2 years and then decided to come back to the family business, Bennett Brothers Buick in 1953. In 1964 the dealership name was changed to Guy Bennett’s Buick. en in 1991 Chevrolet and Oldsmobile were added to the business and the name was changed to Bennett’s Buick Chevrolet Olds Corp. In 2005 Oldsmobile was phased out and the name became Bennett’s Buick Chevrolet Inc. e last day of the dealership was December 31, 2019.
His hobbies were many but mostly involved with Buick Cars. He was a member of the Finger Lakes Chapter of the Buick Club of America. He was very proud of their chapter being chosen to host a national meet in 1989. Guy was also a member of the Chemung Valley Car Club, the Genesee Valley Antique Car Club, Antique Automobile Club of America, e Buick Heritage Alliance, National Soaring Museum, and the Wine Country Classic Boats Club. He was instrumental in developing the current national judging format for Buicks – the 400 point judging plan that is still in use today. Guy was a past president of
Things to think about while planning a eulogy
* Some churches do not allow eulogies during a church service. Others permit a brief reflection before the service or at the end. If you want a eulogy to be part of a church service, discuss this with the minister. Ask when during the service it is preferred and if there are any guidelines or restrictions to be aware of.
* Other appropriate times for a eulogy may be during an evening service, during a visitation or following the remembrance service at a luncheon or reception.
* If there are to be any readings during the service, the eulogist should be informed.
* If there is to be more than one eulogy given, review this with the minister and coordinate with each speaker. Each speaker should avoid similar stories and themes, and each should be brief.
the Wayland Rotary Club, he was active with the Wayland Historical Society and he also enjoyed watching the birds out his back window at home. Guy was an avid collector of pedal cars, Buick cars, model cars, local history, and cameras. He was a long time member of the Wayland Methodist Church and 15 years ago became a member of the Springwater Church of the Nazarene. When he wasn’t collecting or restoring classic cars he was taking pictures and always had his camera in hand or nearby. Guy was the author of a book I Never Met A Buick I Didn’t Like.
Guy was predeceased by his parents, Guy Sr. and Mildred Bennett; his sister, Marion Johnson and his wife, Anita Bennett. He is survived by his children, Guy Brooks (Heidi) Bennett of Wayland, Joanne Bennett of Wayland and James (Barb) Bennett of Wayland; his grandchildren, Kristin (Walter) Conway of CO, Brooke (John) Balbuena of CO, Samantha Bennett of Wayland, Zachary Bennett of Wayland, Ryan Bennett (Katrina Siegfried) of CO and Elyse Bennett of Wayland; his step-grandchildren, Cindy (Brian) Sick, Erika (Andrew) ornton and Samantha (Kyle) Mott; 9 step great-grandchildren; his brother-inlaw, Carl Johnson of Carlisle ,PA; his cousin, Lyle Sisson Jr. of CA; his sisters-in-law,Esther “Kay” omsen of South New Berlin,NY,Barbara Brooks of South New Berlin, NY, Lois Brooks Brownell Vagneur of Delta, CO, and Sandra Brooks of Unadilla, NY.

In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas all recorded around a 5 percent increase in international arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequent travelers or those who have never traveled may not understand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.
Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

(NAPSI) — During these challenging times, people are avoiding the supermarket and, instead, stocking up on shelf-stable and frozen foods. Unfortunately, these can often be loaded with preservatives and lack nutrition. Many families also resort to take-out foods that can be high in sodium, hydrogenated fats and refined sugars.
“The best solution is to find healthy, prepared products that can be purchased in bulk at the supermarket, online and delivered to your doorstep,” advises consumer trends expert Merilee Kern.
One of Kern’s personal favorites is Veggies Made Great, which offers easy, familyfriendly and delicious veggie-rich meals and snacks such as muffins, frittatas and veggie cakes. They can fill freezers and keep families healthy—even during stressful times.
Vegetables including carrots, zucchini and kale are the first and primary ingredients in any Veggies Made Great item, and all are free of gluten, soy, peanuts and dairy. Available in the freezer section, each is individually wrapped and can be quickly and easily heated in the oven or microwave. It’s an easy and tasty way to have veggiedriven nutrition on the menu every day.
You can find them at www.TheHealthfoodStore.com and locate retailers at www.VeggiesMadeGreat.com.
My plum tree that I planted about five years ago, after having one good season of bearing plums, has been overtaken with canker. About 70% of the branches have no leaves. Is there any treatment for canker in fruit trees? Can the tree be saved or is it too late?
While it’s difficult to determine the exact cause of the canker without a thorough examination, there are some potential treatment options you could consider:
1. Pruning: Pruning affected branches is often recommended to remove the infected areas and improve air circulation. Be sure to sterilize your pruning tools before and after each cut to prevent spreading the disease further.
2. Fungicides: Depending on the severity of the canker, applying a fungicide specifically designed for fruit trees may help control the disease. However, it’s important to carefully follow the instructions on the product and consult with a local horticulturist or extension service for guidance.
3. Proper care: Ensuring that your plum tree receives proper care, such as regular watering, adequate nutrition, and maintaining overall tree health, can help it recover from canker and prevent future infections.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the canker and the overall health of the tree. In some cases, if the canker has spread extensively and affected a significant portion of the tree,it may be too late to save it.Consulting with a professional arborist or horticulturist who can assess the situation in person would be the best course of action to determine the chances of saving the tree.

Summer fun that is close to home
Carnivals and fun fairs: Open land or empty parking lots can be transformed into bustling carnivals in a matter of days. Carnivals or fairs may be sponsored by private businesses or local religious organizations looking to raise funds. Some fairs are established by the county and attract participants from near and far. Carnivals often boast a wide array of entertainment, from amusement park-style rides to games of chance to music.

The village of Phelps has long been known as the “Sauerkraut CapitaloftheWorld.”Itallstartedintheearly1900sandsurvived until 1985 when all operations ended, and the Comstock and Seneca Foods companies moved operations to Shortsville with the company now called Great Lakes Kraut.
e village of Phelps had two Sauerkraut factories. e one most familiar is the Empire State Pickling Company, Silver Floss, begun around 1905 by Burton Babcock, who came from Ohio where he had worked in a sauerkraut factory. Another smaller sauerkraut factory in the town of Phelps was the McIvor Sauerkraut Factory, operated by Alice McIvor’s family until it closed.
e other factory was the Seneca Kraut and Pickling Company, established in 1902 in Waterloo by the three Dillman brothers. Leland Alonson Colton, another sauerkraut entrepreneur from Skaneateles, purchased a fourth interest in Seneca Kraut and became the Waterloo plant’s secretary and manager. Seneca built a branch plant and factory in Phelps in 1907 and a plant in Lyons in 1910.
In 1929, Colton built other plants in Geneva and Leet, N.Y. Geneva was the headquarters of the Seneca Kraut Co. In 1938, the Flanigan family purchased Seneca Kraut Co, and Lon P. Flanigan Sr. ran operations. Clifford Jones was factory manager in Phelps. Seneca employed a few full-time workers and many part-time employees during harvesting and canning season.
e Seneca Kraut Factory was located at the west end of Phelps on the corner of Rt. 96 and Newark St. On the southeast corner was a small building used as their office and cabbage weigh-in station. My grandmother, Bertha Dratt Johnson, was book-keeper until her death in 1944.
Cabbage was a big source of income for farmers in Phelps and the surrounding areas. e crop required a strong back and a lot of muscle. In the early 1900s to mid-40s, almost all cabbage was transported by horse and wagon. A farmer first cut the cabbage head from the root stalk in the field, then loaded the heads onto a wagon using a long handle pitchfork, usually two heads at a time. Some heads weighed 15lbs or more each. Imagine li ing two up over your head on the end of long handled pitchfork! en, the farmer drove to the factory’s weigh station.
e Seneca factory had a double storage shed, long and narrow, running east to west, located across from the weigh station. If the bin on the inside was empty, the lower door was open. When it was full, it was closed, and the upper door was opened and farmers li ed cabbage over their heads to fill the second level. A conveyor belt ran through the center of the storage sheds, where two or more workers would pitch cabbage heads from the bins onto the belt.
e belt ran to the second-floor trimming and coring room. Here, many women and a few men would strip away bad leaves and remove the hard core on a drill-like machine with a very sharp bit. Pieces of
From the coring station, heads went by conveyor belt to two 3’ diameter horizontal spinning shredder blades to slice the cabbage into shreds,whichfellthroughtoawaitingtwo-wheelhandcartfortransport to vats.
Usually, two men worked in these 22’ diameter, 20’ high cypress vats wearing rubber boots, spreading with pitchforks the shredded cabbage around evenly in layers, adding about 20lb of salt from a pail by hand onto each layer.
Once the vat was filled with about 7,000 lbs. of shredded cabbage, a top layer of cabbage leaves was put on top and cypress boards covered it all up. 100lb cement blocks were then hoisted up and placed atop the boards to compress the shredded cabbage. is was a very time and labor-intensive process. e vat then sat for about two months as its contents fermented and secreted acidic brine.
e vat’s brine was then drained. e remaining kraut was taken to the cooking and canning room and placed on a stainless steel steam table to be cooked. Several people with rubber gloves packed as much kraut and juice as possible into each can. A spinning process affixed lids on filled cans and cans were stored in a cooler until orders came in.
Sometimes they would go directly to the labeling and packaging department.Differentlabelswereappliedforeachindividualcustomer’s order. e kraut went out under many different labels such as Seneca, IGA, A&P, and Rose.
e Seneca Kraut and Pickling Factory was demolished in 1994. e office building had been removed some time earlier to County Rd 47 in Hopewell and converted into a home.

How often are lost pets found and returned? Prevent your pet from becoming a statistic
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Shakes” is a “bolter” -- he will bolt out the door and straight into the street if I’m not careful. I worry constantly about him getting lost in the woods nearby. If that happens, what should I do? I feel that lost pets don’t get found very o en. -- Jamie B. in Egypt, Maine
DEAR JAIME: Most dogs who get lost are found and returned to their owners at fairly high rates -- between 81% and 97%, according to a 2012 report. at doesn’t make it any less stressful to their owners, who must scour the neighborhood and put up signs to find their dogs. e statistics for cats are much worse, with only 45% to 72% being returned to their owners. A bunch of things make it harder to find a lost cat: no ID tag, if the cat’s collar breaks away on an obstacle or no microchip. Cat owners wait much longer than dog owners to report their cat missing -- probably because they feel most cats will come home on their own. ose stats aside, Shakes would benefit greatly from being trained not to react when the front door opens. Each day, do about 15 minutes of training with him:
-- Put Shakes on a leash and lead him toward the front door. Command “sit.”
-- Reach out for the front doorknob. If Shakes starts forward, bring your hand back to your side and command “sit” again.
-- Repeat the doorknob reach until he no longer reacts but remains sitting. When he does this, give him a tiny treat.
-- Progress to turning the knob, opening the door and leaving the door open. Shakes should remain sitting for each level to be successful.
Keep the training fun, and be consistent. It’ll help Shakes stay safe inside and improve your peace of mind.Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

Thought they might be most often associated with dogs, ticks can affect cats as well. According to Blue Cross for Pets, cats are most likely to encounter ticks if they live near areas with lots of deer and sheep or in regions where other wildlife, such as hedgehogs and rabbits, are present. While ticks are active throughout the year, cats are most likely to encounter them between spring and autumn. That’s due in part to the climate during these seasons, which tends to be warmer and therefore more inviting to cats, compelling them to spend more time outdoors than they do in winter. Ticks, which are egg-shaped, are big enough to spot, so cat owners should conduct a careful examination of their cats’ fur each time they come into the house after spending time in the yard. Blue Cross for Pets notes that ticks feel like small bumps on a cat’s skin. Ticks are most likely to attach themselves to particular areas of a cat’s body. These areas include the head, neck, ears, and feet. Routine brushing, especially whenever cats come inside after time spent outdoors, can help cat owners spot and remove ticks from their cats. It’s important to recognize that indoor cats are not invulnerable to ticks, as other pets and humans can track ticks indoors. Periodic inspections and brushing of indoor cats’ can protect them from ticks and the diseases ticks carry.
Lack of physical activity: A 2019 study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that running for 15 minutes a day or walking for an hour reduces the risk of major depression. That link is likely connected to the release of endorphins triggered by exercise. Endorphins are hormones that studies have shown contribute to a general feeling of well-being, which explains why a lack of physical activity can adversely affect mood.

DID YOU KNOW? Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples,squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.
