DID YOU KNOW?

When nurses go to work each day, many report to hospitals while others work at private practices. For others, a day at the office takes place at research labs. According to the online nursing resource Nurse.org, research nurses develop and implement studies to investigate and provide information on new medications, vaccinations and medical procedures. Research nurses, sometimes referred to as clinical nurse researchers or nurse researchers, typically have advanced degrees, and many first work as research assistants, clinical data collectors and/or clinical research monitors to gain some practical experience as they pursue or consider pursuing their degrees. Some research nurses even conduct independent research, though Nurse.org notes that such professionals need advanced degrees such as an MSN or Ph.D. to pursue such a path. More information about becoming a research nurse can be found at www.Nurse.org.

TIPS FOR TAKING STUNNING NATURE PHOTOS

Take the foreground into consideration. When you find an inspiring landscape to photograph, skip the empty landscapes and think about zeroing in on something interesting in the foreground. This can be a particularly attractive flower in front of a vast field, or even a rusty watering can left out in a row of crops. Items in the foreground impart interest in the photo.

The Hubbards’ Festive Displays Bring Magic to Mount Morris

In the heart of Mount Morris, the Hubbard family is known for transforming their home into a seasonal wonderland of holiday lights and elaborate displays. From a Halloween pirate-themed extravaganza to a Christmas “Christmas Town” featuring Jack Skellington and his dog Zero, Alicia and Bryan Hubbard capture the imaginations of their community, creating a tradition that blends whimsy, creativity, and holiday magic.

Alicia and Bryan, originally from Rochester, have lived in Mount Morris since 2021. Prior to that, they spent a few years in Hornell, where their love for Halloween displays first took root. Alicia, a music therapist, works with individuals across various settings, while Bryan is a civil engineer with the New York State Department of Transportation. Together, they’ve poured their shared passions into their unique decorations, a tradition inspired by their love of Renaissance festivals and Disney magic. “It is because of our costumes we’ve built from attending all [of] these faires that brought our love of pirates to our Halloween décor,” Alicia says.

eir Halloween tradition dates back to 2017, when Bryan suggested dressing as pirates instead of buying new costumes for an event. at suggestion became a launching point for a now-beloved Halloween theme that evolves each year. e Hubbards’ yard features over 20 life-sized skeletons, two 12-foot-tall creatures, and this year, they added a striking headless horseman. Families exploring the display also participate in an interactive scavenger hunt featuring skeleton animals, a new feature Alicia said encourages visitors to slow down and take in all the details.

At the Hubbards’, when Halloween concludes, the transition to Christmas begins, and the home takes on an entirely different glow. eir Christmas display embraces a “Christmas Town” theme, where a towering 13-foottall Jack Skellington explores Christmas Town for the first time. He sings “Jack’s Lament” as a reminder that sometimes stepping outside one’s comfort zone can lead to growth and discovery. “It’s all about bringing magic and joy to the community,” Alicia says, emphasizing the importance of creating memorable moments for families who visit.

e Hubbards’ creativity knows no bounds. Social media o en serves as a wellspring of inspiration, and Alicia notes how this year’s holiday display includes a few new favorites. One whimsical touch is the “Skelletes,” a group of skeletons dressed as Rockettes, while another area features a sweet treats theme, complete with familiar characters. ese fresh elements complement the recurring themes, which the Hubbards adjust and expand each year, as Alicia explains, “We don’t change the theme per se, but we change up little things and add something new.”

Much of their motivation comes from their young son, who delights in seeing the displays evolve each morning, as well as the warm reactions Mu wh di

of neighbors and visitors. One highlight of their Christmas display is the “Santa Portal,” where children can watch Santa making toys, reading letters, and interacting with his elves. Alicia says it’s so special to see the joy on children’s faces as they catch a glimpse of the North Pole in action.

Community support plays a pivotal role in the Hubbards’ efforts. Earlier this year, their Halloween display won first place in a nationwide contest hosted by Frightmaps, thanks to the votes of local fans. e prize included projection tools from AtmosFX, which the Hubbards plan to incorporate into both their Halloween and Christmas displays.

While their displays are focused on their home, the Hubbards encourage otherstoexploreneighborhooddecorationsthroughappslikeFrightmaps and ChristmasPrism, which showcase festive homes across the country. Both apps feature the Hubbards’ home, providing inspiration and joy to holiday enthusiasts far and wide.

For the Hubbards, the lights and decorations are more than just a seasonal activity—they’re an expression of their creativity and a gi to the community. “ ere is nothing like seeing a community come together to bring lights, music, magic, and joy to the holiday season,” Alicia reflects. Whether it’s the laughter of children spotting a new skeleton or the awe of families admiring Jack Skellington, the Hubbards’ displays have become a cherished part of the holiday season in Mount Morris.

is year, as they light up their home (mid-November through the end of December), the Hubbards encourage visitors to follow their Facebook page, Me Hearty Haunts of Mount Morris, for updates on the display’s opening. “It is a public page, so no need to have a Facebook account to view it,” Alicia notes. Drive down Main Street, Mount Morris to check it out yourself.

With each passing year, the Hubbards continue to expand their themes, finding new ways to surprise and delight their audience. eir dedication to creating a magical experience ensures that their home will remain a beacon of holiday cheer in the community for years to come.

Old batteries should be replaced before winter begins. Without a strong, properly functioning battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and five years. However, extreme cold can compromise batteries, especially those that have been around awhile. Batteries are made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery performance. According to AAA’s Automotive Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses 35 percent of its strength.

Newer batteries can be protected by starting the vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you cannot take an extended drive.

There’s a National Cookie Cutter Historical Museum in Joplin, Missouri, established for the public. All the varied cutters designed by the club members are featured there.

If you really want to delve into the origin of cookie cutters, you’d have to go a long way back to 2000 B.C. The tradition of molding sweet cakes into shapes began in Ancient Egypt and was later adopted by the inhabitants of Greece, Rome, and Western Europe. In the 1500s, the Germans started baking molds with intricate designs, out of which emerged oodles of gingerbread people, houses, trees, mountains, and whatnot. And by the 1800s, American tinsmiths had built cookie cutters and introduced them into the market for sale.

and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar. Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part of the tool. Soak the tool overnight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water and dry thoroughly. Then return it to regular usage.

advantage of placing wood orders before the

increase.

One of the easiest and most effective defenses against heat loss is proper insulation. Prevent cold drafts from entering and the loss of heated air through basement headers, which, when left exposed, can make your furnace work harder. Look for a moisture-resistant product offering high thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt insulation. This type of mineral wool insulation makes installation simple. All that’s needed is a serrated blade or bread knife. Cut the batt to fit the cavity and press into place. The insulation will help improve energy efficiency as soon as it’s in place and provide savings over the lifetime of your home. Comfortbatt can also be used to top or replace old attic insulation. Aim for an R-50 or a depth of 16 inches.

Power blowers and mulchers make fast work of leaves, but at the expense of the environment. Gas-powered devices discharge fuel exhaust into the air, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, reap the benefits of peace and quiet as well as exercise from manual raking.

While raking, do not feel the need to remove every leaf. A certain amount of organic matter can be beneficial to the soil and even insulate the lawn somewhat. A leftover leaf here or there also may provide protection for insects and small animals. For example, many native bees spend the winter in tunnels in the ground, cracks in mortar, holes in dead wood, or within hollow stems, and they need lawn and garden litter to survive.

Install a low-flow shower head.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install lowflow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING CARPET

Padding can impact the way carpeting feels and how long it lasts. It isn’t always necessary to purchase the most expensive or thickest padding. However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting you’re selecting and one that aligns with how you plan to use the room. You may be able to go with a thinner pad in low-traffic rooms and beneath dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose a thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as well.

STRAWBERRY-GLAZED FRENCH TOAST WITH SWEETENED SOUR CREAM Serves

• 8 1-inch-thick bread slices, cut from a country or peasant loaf

• 2 cups half-and-half

• 4 egg yolks

• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, plus 1/2 teaspoon

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1/3 cup strawberry jam or preserves (see note 2)

1. Arrange a rack at center position and preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until dry and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes per side. Watch carefully so that the bread does not burn. Remove the bread from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 200 F.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, egg yolks, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish works well). Add the

4 toasted bread slices and soak them 4 minutes per side. Remove to a large plate or platter.

3. Place a large, heavy frying pan over low to medium heat. Add about 2 teaspoons of the butter, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan lightly. When melted, add enough bread slices to fit comfortably in a single layer. Cook slowly until the slices are golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and place in the warm oven. Repeat, adding more butter to the pan as needed until all the bread slices have been sautéed.

4. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

5. When ready to serve, spread each toast with a thin coating of strawberry jam and top with a dollop of sweetened sour cream.

Note 1: The best bread for this dish is an unsliced loaf of good-quality peasant or country bread, preferably one without an extra-hard crust. One that is rectangular, rather than round, is more convenient, but either will do. Cut off the ends of the loaf, and reserve for another use. Then slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices. If your loaf is large and the slices seem large, cut them in half.

Note 2: You can try other jams, preserves or marmalades. Cherry, raspberry or

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

e Avon Teachers Association would like to thank the Avon Community for their support in attending the Avon School District’s forums on the budget issues.

e ATA stands by the state Comptroller’s Report. “ e Board of Education and district officials' misleading budgeting practices allowed them to allocate annual reserves to reserve funds each year to save over $13 million… and did not transparently communicate their financial decisions.” ey are trying to do it again. We cannot support our district leaders and the spin they are putting on this.

Did you feel they needed the money?

Did you know they had extra and put it in reserves? For 5 years, totaling $8 million?

Isn’t

that misleading and not transparent?

We cannot support the efforts of the district leaders to sell their version. Many teachers and staff live in this community and raise their families here.

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE.

The ATA will offer their own forum December 3rd at 6:30PM in the Avon Village Hall. Join us for Discussion

Puzzle Answers This Week

Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.

Skinny

Chicken Parmesan with Spinach Makes 6 servings

For the sauce:

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, sliced

1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

2 pinches salt

2 pinches freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon honey

For the chicken:

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

4 cups baby spinach

1 teaspoon lemon juice

3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded)

6 cups cooked whole-grain thin spaghetti tossed in 2 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with olive oil spray.

To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.

To make the chicken: Combine parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium dish and coach chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, rounded-side down, and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.

HOLIDAY PARTY MUST-HAVES

Decking the halls is a holiday tradition, and hosts should make an effort to string some holiday decorations before welcoming guests into their homes. A Christmas tree might be the most ubiquitous decorative item come the holidays, so hosts can make their tree the centerpiece of their decor. Hang some mistletoe around the house, which also can be adorned with season-specific plants like holly and poinsettias. If kids are attending the party, a kid-friendly decoration station can even be set up to ensure the youngsters have fun and stay busy during the festivities.

KEEP YOUR TREE FRESH THIS CHRISTMAS

Buy a freshly cut tree. Whenever possible, celebrants should cut their own trees. This ensures that the tree they bring home is fresh, increasing the chances it will remain so throughout the season. If it’s not possible to cut your own tree, the National Fire Protection Association notes that fresh trees should have green needles that do not come off when touched. Trees that appear to be dried out or those that shed needles when touched should be avoided.

CANNABIS AND CANCER-RELATED PAIN

The National Cancer Institute notes that, while more research is necessary, small studies have indicated the potential benefits of cannabis in helping cancer patients overcome the pain associated with their disease. According to the NCI, a small study of 21 patients with chronic pain who combined vaporized cannabis with morphine experienced improved pain relief compared to patients who took only morphine. However, combining vaporized cannabis with oxycodone, a narcotic pain reliever and cough suppressant that is similar to morphine, did not produce significantly greater pain relief. In addition, two small studies indicated that delta-9-THC, the main active cannabinoid in marijuana, helped to relieve pain as well as nausea and vomiting. A second study indicated that delta-9-THC given in doses could provide pain relief similar to that provided by codeine, a pain-relieving drug derived from morphine. The NCI also cites a study that indicated a cannabis plant extract medicine effectively relieved pain when sprayed under the tongue of advanced cancer patients whose pain was not relieved by strong opioids alone. That study also indicated that some patients were able to continue to control their cancer-related pain without needing higher doses of the cannabis spray or higher doses of other pain medications they were taking.

CURIOUS ABOUT THE BE WELL IN LIMA BUZZ?

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.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D. Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient

Injections

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 67-year-old healthy male, but I do take Humira for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It does a wonderful job for me with no side effects. It does such a good job that I can periodically extend the time between injections, such as one every three weeks instead of the recommended dose every two weeks. I can even go as long as six months between injections without noticing much of the RA symptoms.

My rheumatologist is aware of this and encourages me to use the lesser amount if I still get relief. My quandary is that I was recently talking to my gastroenterologist about Humira, and he said that they use a very similar drug for gastrointestinal issues. But apparently, you aren’t supposed to stop taking it consecutively because the body will become immune to the drug, and the drug can lose its effectiveness.

Magic Maze YELLOWSTONE

Naturally, I don’t want to lose the great relief I am lucky to be getting, but I also know it’s a strong drug. It seems that the less I take of it, the better. --

J.C.

ANSWER: I share your gastroenterologist’s concern. He may be thinking of a similar medication, vedolizumab (Entyvio). When this drug is stopped in someone with Crohn’s disease, it will cause a flare-up in about half of the cases within six months. In a third of them, the medication will no longer be effective. The situation is similar with adalimumab (Humira), as there is the possibility of a relapse if you stop it entirely. Taking it every three weeks led to a flare-up in 36% of people who had their disease well-controlled for years. The researchers were unable to identify any way to predict who would flare up. Restarting Humira regained control for over half of the study participants -- but not everybody.

I do understand that these are powerful medicines with side effects. Even if you aren’t noticing any, many people will, and there can be very serious side effects to many organs. Fortunately, these are uncommon, and in most cases, it is far better to stay on the medicine, as long as you are being monitored.

As a medical student, I remember seeing what RA looked like before we had effective medications such as methotrexate and TNF inhibitors like Humira. Years of inflammation caused terrible hand deformities, mostly in the women I saw. Since you aren’t having any side effects, and it is working well, I don’t recommend the three-week dosing -- and certainly not six months between doses.

DR. ROACH WRITES: A recent column on hair loss and thyroid disease prompted many readers to write me with their experiences. One reader noted that increasing protein in their diet seemed to slow down hair loss and even cause some regrowth. Another reader recommended biotin. I often recommend this as a trial, despite a lack of good evidence that it works. Biotin is a B-type vitamin that is very safe, although it can interfere with a lab assay when it comes to thyroid levels and other hormone levels. Note that both hair loss and thyroid disease are very common, and it is not always the case that thyroid disease causes hair loss.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

SHOPPING LOCALLY

earned money. Your local merchant is working just as hard to earn your money. And when you choose to not support your local merchant and shop outside your community or county, you’ve robbed yourself of the benefits of your money staying where you live.

THINK LOCAL, especially at this gi ing time of year. Make it a Merry Christmas for all of us because, ‘it matters!’

businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a fellow neighbor.

Create job opportunities

Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, along with their employees. Small businesses are the largest employers in the United States. That’s also true in Canada, where 68.8 percent of the total labor force works for a small business. A person may never know when he or she - or a relative - will need a job. Keeping small businesses viable provides a strong job market for locals.

Keep more money in the community

The Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays.

Enjoy a more local flavor

National retailers and other businesses follow a global business model that may not allow for much customization, but small businesses can provide products or services that relate directly to the needs of the communities they serve. These same small businesses may also be more inclined to work with local vendors and start-ups than national companies that have global supply chains.

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN

Close some social media accounts. Social media can be a useful tool to stay connected with family, friends and the local community. But those connections can be maintained through one or two social media platforms. That’s a lesson millennials or Gen Z-ers can take to heart, as the Global Web Index indicates that the average person has 8.4 social media accounts. Closing some social media accounts can reduce the temptation to pick up a device, ultimately paving the way to more time away from tablets, smartphones and laptops.

WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DO TO ENGAGE THEIR COMMUNITIES

Participate in local events: Local events like holiday bazaars and town festivals provide great chances for business owners to communicate directly with new and existing customers. Take advantage of the chance to set up a booth at such events, and make a concerted effort to reach out to consumers who stop by the booth. The customer feedback experts at Apptentive found that 97 percent of consumers are somewhat likely to become more loyal to a company that implements their feedback. Setting up a booth at a bazaar or festival provides a great chance to solicit feedback that businesses can then implement to retain more customers.

A Sweet Anniversary Surprise

Pj's in School!

We got take out from a local restaurant this past weekend and were lucky enough to have one of the owners helping us check out. When I mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary, he was so nice to run back and give us two slices of their peanut butter pies to celebrate. Thank you for making our anniversary even sweeter!

Honest, Caring People

On Tuesday, November 19th I foolishly left my purse in the shopping cart in front of the big box store and drove off. Shortly after, I realized I left it and hurriedly drove back. There in the parking lot I saw a young man heading into the store with my purse. I called out to him and retrieved my purse. My God, what a feeling of relief. Never got his name but he was a caring and honest man. Thank you for being who you are. Your parents raised a special young man.

Recently I was talking to a young person who attends a local junior high school. She told me that students are now allowed to wear pajama pants to school. What's next? Bringing their pillows and blankets? Whatever happened to schools being a place where education and discipline in life were taught? What role are our tax funded Administrators/ Principals playing in all of this? I was also told that swearing has become common among the students and is being tolerated. The saddest thing was when I asked this young person why they thought all of this was allowed and she said it was because the principal and teachers don't care. Is this what our school system in NY has become? Why don't we just allow all students to stay at home and get their education online? Why are our tax paying dollars going into keeping up with these expensive buildings just to become a free for all for the students?

Sidewalks Were Invented for a Reason

On Saturday while driving in our village, I saw four separate instances of people walking in the road with the sidewalk right there. You know, that cement thing that you bought with your taxes specifically for pedestrians to walk on so they’d be safe. You somehow think it’s cool and fun to walk in the road for no reason whatsoever. Your recklessness is not appreciated.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* At a loss of what to do with Christmas cards from years past? Why not try making a wreath? Cut out a large ring from a cardboard box or other sturdy material. Arrange cards at different angles around the circle. Add holiday picks and ribbon or a bow for depth.

* Having a holiday party? Put foods and drinks in separate areas, as these are places that guests tend to linger. With different stops for each, guests will not bunch up in one place trying to do both, and it actually encourages mingling!

* Looking for a great cause for gi ing this year? Go to www.charitynavigator.org to find out more about how your prospective charities rank in areas like CEO pay, money spent on fundraising, etc.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

WINTER COATS AND BOOTIES CAN KEEP PETS HEALTHY IN THE WINTER

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We had a cold snap a couple of weeks ago, and the morning temperature dipped below freezing. A er taking my Labradoodle, “Pierre,” for a walk around the block, I noticed he was shivering, and he walked with a tiny limp the rest of the day. He’s OK now, but it didn’t seem so cold when we went out. From now on, I’ll make sure he has a doggie sweater and booties on for walks, even if there is no snow on the ground. -- Sara in Bennington, Vermont

DEAR SARA: at’s a good plan. I’m glad Pierre is doing fine now, but I’m sure that was a scary lesson. Small dogs can be quickly affected by cold temperatures. Even when the weather is above freezing, their little bodies can get chilled very quickly.

Even large dogs can suffer from the cold. And ice-cold pavement can be dangerous for paws, no matter how big or small your dog is. e pads on their paws can get frostbitten. Dry, cold temperatures can cause the skin of the pads to chap and crack, resulting in a lot of discomfort.

Put a protective jumper or coat on your pet before going out when temperatures dip into the 40s (or single-digit Celsius). Booties will protect their paws from frozen sidewalks and from ice or other debris that might injure their pads. At the end of each walk, check their paws for cuts. If the pads appear dry, apply a balm for pet paws like Musher’s Secret, Bag Balm or Burt’s Bees.

BRAIN-HEALTHY HABITS TO EMBRACE

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.
