Solving a Litter Box Mystery

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m responding to your recent column about the kitten who won’t litter train. I’ve had kitties for over 50 years. e only time one of my kittens had trouble using the litter box, I made sure to watch him the next time he started sni ng around. It turned out that the sides of the litter box were too high! I replaced it with a litter box that had lower sides and it solved the problem. Love your column! -- Linda P., Williamson, New York

DEAR LINDA: ank you for the advice! Cats are experts at hiding their problems, and it can be di cult to see if a training issue is something to do with behavior, health problems or something else.

Your advice to observe the kitten closely, without interfering as it goes about its business, is perfect. If you’ve got time to follow a kitten around the house from a distance, that’s great. Of course, many of us are busy or have to leave the house for most of the day for work. One way to get around that is to use an indoor security camera -- one of the small cameras available for purchase online like a Blink or a SimpliSafe -- and point it at the litter box. You can observe activity around the box while you’re away (or in another room).

In this instance, the sides of the box were simply too high! A quick x got the kitten back on track.

Now, what if you observe something else, like the kitten showing distress just before it pees or poops?

Or interference from another kitten or cat? Contact your veterinarian for advice, a checkup if needed, and an action plan to solve the litter box mystery.

The Pathway To Blessing

In John 8:21-30, we admire Jesus’ continual pleasing of God the Father. If we are to please HIM, we are told first of all to have faith: “But without faith it is impossible to please HIM” (Heb. 11:6). Do you always do the things that pleaseYOU?That will not end up with God’s blessing on you. Secondly, we must be obedient, “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” Are we all annoyed at a destructive, disrespectful, disobedient child? Being self-willed always stops God’s blessing. The hymn says “Yielding allegiance, glad hearted and free, this is the pathway of blessing for me.”

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Workouts at the Rec Center

Two months ago the senior center commandeered a large space in the town’s rec center because we had vetoed the idea of exercise classes in a too-small space at the senior center.

It was a two-month test, warned the senior center, to see if we’d actually show up. ey even brought in a too-young male coach to put us through our paces. Although we were suspicious about his age, by the third week we agreed he knew his stu .

And he himself brought in an even younger female assistant who stayed at the front of the room demonstrating the exercises while the young male coach paced around the room, expression serious, studying us, stopping us in mid-move to instruct and praising where warranted.

Two weeks ago he brought in yet another assistant and broke us into two groups across the rec center oor. He labeled us “Easy” and “Not Easy,” saying that some of us needed to take things more slowly while others needed to put more e ort into the workout. Try as I might to get transferred to the Easy group, he was having none of it.

He worked hard on our behalf, badgering the rec center to open up the weight room so he could give out some hand weights. He coaxed the local sporting goods store into donating some stretchy bands and yoga mats. Last week he brought in a diet handout, foods to eat to build muscle.

We discovered just this week, however, that we’ve all been guinea pigs, that our too-young male coach was using us as his senior tness specialist project for college. Color us shocked! We weren’t sure how we felt about that until we learned that he’d earned an “A” on the project.

e other good news is that they’ve hired our too-young male coach and his two assistants on a permanent basis. And we get to stay at the rec center.

Canandaigua Haunted by Ghoulish Halloween Rumors

BY AMANDA DUDEK

time for Halloween.

Whether you are a Halloween enthusiast who goes to every haunted house, hayride, and corn maze within a 30-mile radius or a Halloween participant who decorates, trick or treats, and calls it a night—or somewhere in between—almost everyone enjoys a good ghost story. e tales around Spook Hill, Lonesome Lucy from Frost Hill, and the Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane are sure to send a chill up your spine!

Spook Hill

A gravity-defying phenomenon, Spook Hill is the stu of folklore, an uncanny bend in the earth where gravity seems to be reversed. Situated in the wooded countryside of Yates County, not far from Canandaigua Lake, this “gravity hill” can be found by heading south on Newell Road, starting at what appears to be the bottom of a hill, just before a driveway to the west and Spike Road to the east.

Everything rolls backwards up this hill, from cars put in neutral to bicycles to balls, even water! Some people believe that this phenomenon is the work of spirits, or “spooks,” hence the name. Some say that locals disturbed the spirits of the Native Americans in the ancient Native American burial ground located along what is now North Vine Valley Road, and that these spirits push trespassers away from their nal resting place.

Others claim there is a much more scienti c reason, claiming Spook Hill is a gravity hill, one of several in New York. Two others can be found in Portville and Su ern. Gravity hills o en visually appear to be slanted downwards but are proven to be slanted upwards when tested with a level. erefore, the concept of optical illusion comes closest to explaining the phenomenon.

If you choose to check it out for yourself, exercise caution, as it is on a public road. Be certain no other cars are approaching and be careful to remain on your side of the road with your four-way ashers on. Experiencing Spook Hill is hair-raising, goosebump-inducing fun!

Lonesome Lucy from Frost Hill

Lucy Frost was born in 1806 possibly to Keziah Vale and Jonathan Frost, a leader of the now lost Frost Town in Ontario County. A South Bristol Historical Society historical marker reads, “Frost Town: Town pioneers erected a sawmill here in 1790. By 1808, Jonathan Frost was operating three mills. e town of 200 people and 39 buildings faded with the harvested timber.”

Lucy Frost married omas Je erson Barkley on January 13th, 1824 and died on November 6th, 1825, just months a er giving birth to Lucy Barkley. She was buried in the Frost Town Cemetery. Ontario County documents describe the Frost Town Cemetery location: “Frost Town/Gulick Gorge Cemetery (West of Gulick Road along rim of Briggs Gully.) [May also be known as McGreavy Cemetery.]” However,

according to Ann and John Street who purchased the old “Barkley House,” Lucy (Frost) Barkley’s gravestone was leaning against a large oak tree west of the house, although gossip had it she wasn’t buried there. According to a letter from former Barkley House owner Colie Dugan, Dugan herself had brought Lucy’s headstone to the Barkley House property a er it had been removed from its gravesite and had been placed against the cemetery fence.

During the ensuing decades, the tree rotted, and the gravestone deteriorated. No actual gravesite could be determined for Lucy (Frost) Barkley, so in the 1990s, the HoneoyeRichmond Historical Society Museum donated the headstone to the Honeoye Area Historical Society for preservation. Today, Lonesome Lucy is said to be roaming Frost Hill in search of her family and Frost Town, her long-lost home.

Brigham Hall

Completely lost to the mists of time, Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane once stood somewhere in the Grove Street area of Canandaigua. At one point spanning about 100 acres, its boundary lines best approximated by Bristol St., Parrish St. South Pearl St., and West St. in town. Opening its doors in 1855 as Brigham Hall Asylum for the Insane, the facility was soon a erwards chartered with New York State as Brigham Hall Hospital. “It was the rst such institution in New York State that actually bore the name ‘hospital’ rather than ‘asylum’ or ‘institution,’” said Preston E. Pierce, Ontario County Historical Society educator.

Although focused on healing and the humane treatment of those in its care, some patients did pass away. According to an 1860 book entitled, Brigham Hall, A Hospital for the Insane, “From the opening of the institution, to the 1st of September, 1860, there have been received 166 patients, of whom 49 have been discharged recovered; 40 improved; 19 unimproved, and 10 have died; 48 remain under treatment.” e facility closed as a mental hospital in 1960.

Some say the gures of doctors and patients have sometimes been seen wandering the former Brigham Hall grounds.

HALLOWEEN PARTY POINTERS

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Case of Enlarged Pelvic Veins Is Not a Cause for Concern

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 71-year-old female with no children, but I did have an ectopic pregnancy at age 43. Other than that, I have had no “female” issues. I was getting a CT scan for my spleen area, when it was discovered that I had enlarged pelvic veins in my groin. I don’t have pelvic pain, nor do I have pain with sex. So, the only symptoms I do have, which may or may not be related, are bloating and some constipation.

I have seen a vascular surgeon and a urogynocologist to ask about this condition and if I need “treatment” for it. Both were rather vague, saying if I’m not experiencing pain, I should just get it imaged every year. Is that sound advice? Can the veins twist and cause blockage? Can they cause a blood clot? I can’t really get any info on it. -- J.F.

ANSWER: Although advanced imaging like CT and MRI scans have led physicians to be able to make more precise diagnoses than before, there is an issue of what to do with “incidental” findings. Many people have written to me about small tumors (which are far more common than we thought), but enlarged pelvic veins are another example of an incidental finding. Some women do have a condition called “pelvic congestion syndrome,” which is a cause of pelvic pain that is worsened by prolonged standing or sexual activity. This condition is found in women in the reproductive age group, especially those who have had multiple children, but is not found in menopausal women. Since you aren’t in the age group and don’t have symptoms, you clearly don’t have pelvic congestion syndrome. Dilated veins in the legs are simply called varicose veins, and they are often due to loss in function of the valves in our legs as we age. Pelvic vein enlargement is the same thing: Veins get bigger as we age. There are cases of blood clots in the pelvic veins, but it is not clear whether a person like you is at increased risk. I don’t see the need to repeat the imaging studies.

BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

Hormone therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances made by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream. Some hormones can cause certain cancers to grow. If tests show that the cancer cells have places where hormones can attach (receptors), drugs, surgery,orradiationtherapyisusedtoreducetheproductionofhormones or block them from working. The hormone estrogen, which makes some breast cancers grow, is made mainly by the ovaries. Treatment to stop the ovaries from making estrogen is called ovarian ablation.

Hormone therapy with tamoxifen is often given to patients with early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery and those with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). Hormone therapy with tamoxifen or estrogens can act on cells all over the body and may increase the chance of developing endometrial cancer. Women taking tamoxifen should have a pelvic exam every year to look for any signs of cancer. Any vaginal bleeding, other than menstrual bleeding, should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.

Hormone therapy with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist is given to some premenopausal women who have just been diagnosed with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. LHRH agonists decrease the body’s estrogen and progesterone.

Hormone therapy with an aromatase inhibitor is given to some postmenopausal women who have hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the body’s estrogen by blocking an enzyme called aromatase from turning androgen into estrogen. Anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane are types of aromatase inhibitors. For the treatment of early localized breast cancer that can be removed by surgery, certain aromatase inhibitors may be used as adjuvant therapy insteadoftamoxifenorafter2to3yearsoftamoxifenuse.Forthetreatment of metastatic breast cancer, aromatase inhibitors are being tested in clinical trials to compare them to hormone therapy with tamoxifen. Other types of hormone therapy include megestrol acetate or antiestrogen

such as fulvestrant.

HOW TO OVERCOME WORKOUT FATIGUE

Useproperformwhenexercising. Improper form can lead to injury and/or muscle fatigue. Men and women who cannot adhere to proper form when working out may need to reduce the amount of weight they’re lifting. As activities are performed using proper form, people may find they’re building muscle without growing fatigued. As workouts progress, weight can be added.

DID YOU KNOW?

The human papillomavirus, often referred to as HPV, is a group of more than 150 related viruses. According to the American Cancer Society, HPVs are called “papillomaviruses” because some types cause noncancerous tumors known papillomas, or warts. Some types of HPVs are known to cause cancer, including those of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and parts of the mouth and throat. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 79 million people in the United States are currently infected with HPV. HPV vaccines can be very effective, preventing infections that can cause six different types of cancer, but are most effective when administered to older children and teenagers. The ACS notes that doctors recommendboysandgirlsreceive the HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12. In such instances, boys and girls will receive two doses of the vaccine six to 12 months apart. While the vaccinecanbeadministeredlater, kids or even young adults who do not receive the vaccine when they are between the ages of 15 and 26 will need to receive three doses within an eight-month span.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

FAQ

What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Can diet prevent breast cancer from spreading?

Treatment for breast cancer is o en successful. For example, data from the American Society of Clinical Oncology indicates that the ve-year survival rate for women diagnosed with non-metastatic invasive breast cancer is 90 percent, while the average 10-year survival rate for such cancers is 84 percent. ose gures re ect advancements in treatment and the e ectiveness of campaigns designed to encourage women to receive routine breast cancer screenings as part of their preventive health care regimens.

Once doctors have diagnosed breast cancer, they will consider a host of factors as they try to determine a course of treatment.

Stage e National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. notes that treatment options depend on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Stage is usually expressed in a numerical value between 0 and IV, with 0 being the least severe form of the disease and IV being the most advanced (i.e., metastatic).

Tumor size and location e Cleveland Clinic notes that the size and location of the tumor also a ects how doctors will approach treatment. In general, the smaller the tumor, the easier it is to treat the disease. Where in the breast the tumor is located will also a ect the treatment plan. Doctors o en employ a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to treat breast cancer, and such an approach may be more likely to be employed if the tumor is large.

Pathology tests Pathology is the science of causes and e ects of diseases. When treating patients for breast cancer, doctors order pathology tests so they can better understand how the disease is a ecting their patients’ bodies. For example, the Cleveland Clinic notes that pathology tests like hormone receptor tests and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/neu) can indicate if

hormones or growth factors are helping the cancer grow. e results of these and other pathology tests can then help doctors determine an e ective course of treatment.

Personal characteristics Doctors will consider woman’s age, general health and family history when mapping a course of treatment. In addition, doctors discuss menopause with women when determining a course of treatment. Breastcancer. org notes that some breast cancer treatments can bring on menopause more abruptly than it would happen otherwise, so doctors will consider a woman’s history with menopause when determining treatment.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Halloween can be a spooky good time for children and adults alike, but the cost of costumes can be downright scary. When I was a child, my brother and I dressed as a pirate and a gypsy, respectively, for several years, as they were costumes that could be put together using things you might find around the house. This week, a focus on inexpensive or FREE Halloween costumes. Happy Halloween!

* Most anyone can come up with a ghost costume (basically, a white sheet with eyes cut out and cut off at the bottom so it’s not too long). How about dressing up that ghost with costume jewelry and makeup, or a mustache/beard drawn on, with a tie and carrying a briefcase labeled “Scare Corporation”? Use hats or other dress-up accessories to make Dr. Ghost or Officer Ghost. The possibilities are endless.

* A basic scarecrow needs only a flannel shirt, a pair of jeans and socks, a floppy hat and some straw. Stuff wadded-up plastic bags into shirt or pants to fill, then use rubber bands to secure straw at the cuffs. Paint on a funny face. (Thanks J.R. in Illinois.)

* Be an over-the-top tourist: A loud Hawaiian-style shirt paired with a pair of shorts, perhaps socks with sandals? Carry a camera on a strap around your neck. Use a small carryon bag as your treat bag, or decorate a paper sack by gluing on squares cut from a map.

* Be Static Cling! Use safety pins to pin a variety of small items to your outfit -- think socks, scarves, even a pair of undies if you dare! Tease hair until it’s standing straight up, and use hairspray to keep it that way.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT FALL

The colors of fall foliage are actually present year-round. Fall is known for its colorful foliage. But the pigments responsible for those colors are actually present year-round. According to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, green, yellow and orange pigments are present year-round. However, during spring and summer, the leaves serve as factories where many foods necessary to help the tree grow are manufactured. That process takes place in the leaf in cells containing chlorophyll, which gives the leaves their green color. This process ceases as hours of daylight decrease and temperatures drop. As a result, chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the vivid colors of fall foliage begin to appear.

Apple bobbing is one autumn tradition that involves the use of apples. Despite the popularity of apple bobbing around Halloween, some historians believe the tradition of bobbing for apples is rooted in love and romance and has little to do with trick-or-treating. According to History.com, apple bobbing began as a courting ritual. While the rules of the game varied, the idea was to attempt to bite into the apple named for the young man the woman desired. This method of courting eventually became less popular, but bobbing for apples was resurrected in the early 20th century when Americans who traced their roots to Ireland and England began playing the game at Halloween parties.

RAVES

Thanks, Canandaigua!

The Canandaigua Rotary Club collects roadside debris along Routes 5 & 20. We seem to be collecting less each pick-up. Of equal importance are those measures taken by this area's homeowners and businesses in keeping their yards, drives, and parking lots free of debris, making for more visually healthy scenery. For your efforts and dedication, we thank each of you!

An Angel of Mercy

Many thanks to Lisa who came to my rescue on Friday. After sitting in the parking lot of a local school watching the sky and listening to the radio, I found my car battery dead when I went to return home. To top it off, my cellphone was dead, too! I am a senior in poor shape but managed to get home where I was able to contact a friend for help. She drove me back to my car. She will

Can you read?

Recently, it was the town festival. There were “No Parking” signs all over as well as “No Trespassing” signs. Rude people just parked any place and anywhere they wanted. Signs are up for a reason. You are lucky your vehicle wasn’t towed away at your risk. Wake up, people, and learn to read or maybe get an eye exam. Respect signs. Read before you park. It may save you hassle in the future. Does this mean you? You moved my cones from my driveway, went through my yard and my garden, and knocked my rhubarb patch to the ground. Use the road to go where you are going. We all need to use common sense these days.

So Rude

Why do people have to be so rude? One young guy at a [local business] was working with another young guy, putting things on the shelves. I needed gas. He came over, got right in my face and said, “What an [obscenity].” While I was driving (I was tired.), some guy yelled out, “What an old [obscenity]” Then, to top it off, I was visiting a therapist, and in the lobby, a stranger said (loudly and with lots of people around), “You’re worthless!” I felt even sadder. This is the new trend.

Handicap Parking for a Reason

To the person who ranted about handicap parking abuse: I agree that there is an element of abuse with the use of handicap parking permits. However, not all people who have a disability that qualifies for special parking are elderly. Just because someone is younger, it does not mean that they aren’t disabled. Plus, not all disabilities are visible to the naked eye. Someone may have a mobility issue that requires extra space to enter or exit their vehicle. A woman may be pregnant and having a difficult pregnancy, and under doctor’s orders, needs to limit walking long distances. As for the people wearing a nametag for work and parking in a handicap spot, people with disabilities often work a part-time job. You never know what a person is going through, and not all physical disabilities are visually obvious. So, don’t judge when you haven’t a clue about the person you are judging. Show some kindness and understanding, instead of assuming the worst about someone!

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the National Autism Association, autism is a bio-neurological developmental disability that affects the normal development of the brain in various areas. Those areas include social interaction, communication skills and cognitive function. Autism generally appears before a child reaches his or her third birthday, and the NAA notes it is diagnosed four times as often in boys than it is in girls. Roughly 40 percent of children with autism do not speak, but parents whose children speak between the ages of 12 and 18 months should know that such youngsters can still ultimately be diagnosed with autism. In such instances, the NAA notes that children lose the words they previously learned. Incidences of autism appear to be on the rise, though the reasons for that remain unclear. According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of autism had risen to one in every 59 children by 2018. That’s twice as great as the rate in 2004, when the CDC reported one in 125 children were diagnosed with autism.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE

Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

HALLOWEEN HISTORY

Halloween may seem like a relatively modern holiday, and while it may have become modernized, Halloween traditions actually can be traced back to ancient Celtic rituals. It’s believed Halloween traces its origins to a Celtic festival for the dead known as Samhain. During the festival, people would dress up in costumesandleavetreatsontheir front doorsteps to appease spirits that were believed to be roaming the Earth on this holiday. Many historians also feel that trickor-treating can be linked to the European practice of “mumming” or “guysing,” in which costumewearing individuals would go door-to-door, performing dances and plays in exchange for treats.
