How to protect your pets from extreme heat

Extreme heat can be unpleasant for anyone, and pets are no exception. While it’s easy for menandwomentodetectiftheir bodiesarerespondingnegatively to heat, those warning signs may not be so prevalent in pets, who may suffer in silence as the mercury continues to rise. Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on hot days, which the Humane Society of the United States notes can be both uncomfortable and dangerousforpets.

DID YOU KNOW?

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.

Chinch bugs: The experts at BobVila.com report that chinch bugs problematic when their populations are limited to around 10 to 15 bugs per square foot of lawn. In such instances, chinch bug populations are generally controlled by ants and ladybugs. However, extreme heat and drought, problems that have plagued various regions in North America in recent years, reduce the populations of bugs that feed on chinch bugs,thus increasing the population of these unwanted guests that feed on grass. GardenTech® indicates that damage from chinch bugs is most visible between June and September. That damage begins with grass taking on a purple tinge before it turns yellow and then brown after wilting.

Association, one in five teenagers will now experience some form of hearing loss. That rate is roughly 30 percent higher than it was 20 years ago.Though various factors have contributed to that increase, the AOA notes that many experts believe an increased use of headphones among teenagers is partly to blame. Listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can lead to lifelong hearing loss for children and teens. Parents can encourage children and teenagers to listen to music at reasonable levels when using their headphones, and one effective way to control volume without sacrificing sound is to use over-the-ear headphones instead of earbuds. The Cleveland Clinic notes that over-theear headphones are generally more effective than earbuds at cancelling outside noise. That allows over-the-ear headphone users to listen to music at lower volumes, which can significantly reduce their risk for noise-induced hearing loss.

ROOFING & SIDING

Update the flooring. Tired, outdated carpeting or other flooring can use an overhaul. While solid hardwood flooring may be preferable, there are many types of laminate flooring that mimic the looks of popular wood colors and styles for a fraction of the cost. Plus, many are sold at home improvement retailers and even at warehouse clubs or online for reasonable prices. Laminate flooring also may be a potential DIY job for a skilled homeowner,saving even more money.

CREATE DRAMA WITH BOLD PAINT COLORS

Decide how big an impact you want to make. Are you looking for color overload or just a small focal point of vivid color? Remember, using bold color doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue. Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold color display. Otherwise, rely on bold colors to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or moldings and trim.

GROWING TRENDS IN TODAY’S HOMES

Smaller homes: Home sizes in the United States steadily increased for decades, eventually leading to an average of 2,453 square feet in 2014, according to U.S. Census figures. However, Realtor.com reported in 2015 that new construction homes have already begun to shrink by 40 square feet. There seems to be a slight trend toward more modest homes as people consider affordability and maintenance on larger properties. The National Association of Home Builders states buyers are now looking for smaller, more livable homes with flexible floor plans, energy-efficient appliances and plenty of storage space.

MAINTAIN SPARKLING CLEAR POOL WATER

For cleanliness, water circulation and filtration is essential. This helps spread the chemicals to all areas of the pool and also helps to remove debris. Filters come in different types, including sand, diatomaceous earth, or DE, and cartridge. Each has its pros and cons. How long to run the filter depends on water temperature, gallons of water in the pool and the estimated water turnover rate of the filter. Pool owners can start with longer filter run times and gradually cut down until they find the right rate based on water appearance, according to popular pool forum Trouble Free Pools.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Lucie Winborne

* The maddening but addictive Rubik’s Cube was created by accident. Professor of architecture Erno Rubik built a twistable box with colorful rows of labels on each side in an attempt to design blocks that could move without collapsing the entire structure. After rotating a few rows and mixing up the colors, the real challenge began: realigning the hues! It took Rubik about a month to restore his cube to its original condition.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* e best way to cook leafy, green veggies such as spinach and kale, is to stir fry them in just the water le over from rinsing. It works very well to steam them, and adds no fat!

* Keep track of capacity and dimension of your cookware by using a permanent marker to notate the specifications on the bottoms of each baking container you have. is way, when a recipe calls for a 13-by-9 baking dish or a 2-quart casserole dish, you can easily tell which one you need. is is especially important if you don’t spend a lot of time cooking.

* “When you need to crush nuts or a cracker for crumbs, you can use a small can of soup to crush these in a plastic bag. is is for when you don’t have a rolling pin.” -- J.R. in Virginia

Tips for parents as kids head Back-to-School

Establish a Routine: Start gradually adjusting your child’s sleep and meal routines a couple of weeks before school starts. is will make the transition smoother and help them get into the school schedule.

Visit the School: If possible, visit the school with your child before the first day. Familiarize them with the surroundings, classrooms, and playground. is can help reduce anxiety about the new environment.

Organize Supplies: Label and organize your child’s school supplies, backpack, and lunchbox. is will make mornings less hectic and ensure they have everything they need.

Set Up a Homework Zone: Create a designated area at home where your child can comfortably do homework. Make sure it’s quiet, well-lit, and stocked with necessary supplies.

Communicate with Teachers: Attend any back-toschool meetings or orientations. Establish open communication with your child’s teachers, so you’re aware of their progress, assignments, and any concerns.

Morning Prep: Plan ahead for busy mornings. Lay out clothes, pack lunches, and have backpacks ready the night before to reduce morning stress.

Healthy Meals and Snacks: Pack nutritious meals and snacks for your child. A well-balanced diet supports their energy levels and concentration throughout the school day.

Stay Involved: Stay engaged in your child’s education by asking about their day, discussing their activities, and showing interest in what they’re learning. is helps build a strong parent-child connection.

Encourage Reading: Set aside time for reading at home. Reading together can foster a love for learning and improve your child’s literacy skills.

Manage Screen Time: Establish screen time rules and limits to ensure that your child has a healthy balance between schoolwork, physical activity, and recreational activities.

Remember that each child is unique, so adapt these tips to suit your child’s personality and needs. By providing a supportive and structured environment, you can help your young child have a positive and successful start to the school year.

Eating Could Signify Gastroparesis

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old healthy, active woman. I normally work out six days a week and used to be in very good shape. I’m having stomach issues, which caused me to lose 20 pounds since the end of last year. I was thin to begin with and have lost a significant amount of muscle and most of my body fat. I was diagnosed with gastric intestinal metaplasia in 2019 and had trouble eating, but I didn’t lose any significant weight at that time. No treatment was recommended beyond a suggested follow-up in a year or two.

I have difficulty eating anything but a small amount of food, and if I do “overeat,” I vomit. Eating is beyond a chore, and I continue to lose weight. I have been worked up with no conclusions in sight. I had a colonoscopy two years ago that was normal. I had an abdominal CT scan with and without contrast, an endoscopy, an MR enterography, and a brain scan this year, with no results that explained my problem.

I am seeing another GI doctor soon, but I’m not particularly hopeful. I am 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and now weigh 129 pounds. I am feeling desperate. Do you have any ideas? -- L.W.

ANSWER: Weight loss can have many different causes, and it seems like your doctors have carefully looked for many of the concerning ones. Key features of your story are that you are vomiting and losing weight.

Intestinal metaplasia is when the lining of the stomach develops a microscopic appearance, similar to the intestines. This can predispose people to stomach cancer, but intestinal metaplasia can also be associated with low acid in the stomach.

Vomiting after eating normal amounts of food is a concern for a stomach mass, but between the endoscopy and the CT scan, it should have shown up. I would be concerned about gastroparesis, where the stomach doesn’t squeeze properly. Vomiting after eating is a hallmark symptom, as is feeling very full after a little food. A gastric emptying study can confirm the diagnosis.

Use original containers. It’s tempting to transfer certain cleaning products or chemicals to other bottles or jars for ease of use, but this can be dangerous. People in the home may mistakenly ingest something if it is transferred to a beverage container or something typically used for food storage. Plus, should ingestion occur, you will no longer have the safety label in place. That means you won’t have immediate access to safety protocols that can save lives.

(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity:

Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.

Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.

Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.

The word “condiment” comes from the Latin word “condimentum”, meaning spice, seasoning or sauce, and “condire”, which means to preserve, pickle or season. Although the word was first used to describe pickling fluid and seasoning in the mid-1400s, it has come to include a wide range of different products in modern times.

Why are condiments such a common feature on dining tables? Condiments are known to be a typical compliment to food because of their ability to personalize and add taste or flavor to different dishes as desired. Condiments also offer a whole sensory experience through smell, sight, sound, and touch, making dishes much more attractive.

Scholarships come in different forms and are usually offered to students as a gift to be put toward college or university costs. Some schools offer scholarships, while other scholarships are sponsored by outside organizations.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

What to do when your pet won’t housetrain

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a 9-month-old puppy a few weeks ago and named him “Chestnut.” He’s wonderful, but has one problem. He is still not housetrained. I think part of it is from the shelter, where the dogs routinely poop in their cages and rarely are taken outside. Plus, he was rescued from a pet hoarding situation. How can I resolve his housetraining issues? -- Glenda in Dothan, Alabama

DEAR GLENDA: Congratulations on your new family member! I know the housetraining situation is frustrating, but have patience.

If you haven’t taken Chestnut to the veterinarian yet for his first checkup, schedule that appointment. e vet will rule out any physical problems or hidden illnesses that might be contributing to the problem, and can give some helpful advice on working with dogs from a traumatic background. at background does have an effect on housetraining. Chestnut spent formative months in locations where little to no training took place, and he learned to follow the habits of the other dogs around him. So, you’ll have to retrain him away from those habits, and keep the entire experience a positive one.

Take Chestnut for walks two to three times per day, and (this is important) at the same times each day. He needs to know that at sunrise, noon and sunset, he will have “outside” time. Bring his favorite treats with you. At first, shower him with treats for everything: putting on the leash, walking next to you, sitting on command, and every time he poops or pees. Make him look forward to pooping outside.

Never scold him if he poops inside. Just clean up and try again. If he poops in specific areas of the house, block his access to those areas if possible. Keep training positive and be patient, patient, patient. He will come around.

ATM Fees local hometown bank

A Big Thank You

The Humane Society of Livingston County would like to thank the Tom Moran Memorial Golf Tournament for choosing us as one recipient of the proceeds from this event. These much needed funds will go towards the care of the cats we take in from our county.

Thank You!

A grateful thank you to the young man from Henrietta who was visiting friends in Caledonia and was at the veggie stand on South Road as we pulled in at the same time. I just wanted 3 ears of corn and did not have exact change, and I was trying to figure out a way of getting change. He was very kind and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them” and proceeded to tell me “They have the best corn [he’s] had” and I must agree! It was delicious! Thank you for being so sweet and paying for my corn.

On Sunday we tried to get money out of our local hometown bank only to find that BOTH the outside and inside ATMs were out of use. Because of this we had to use another bank’s ATM and were charged a $3.75 fee. Now wouldn’t you think that our bank would refund that fee? Wrong! They said no we don’t refund those fees. All our money in this one bank and we can’t access it unless we go elsewhere. This is terrible customer service, and we definitely will not be doing any further loans or business with this bank. I’m sure if I asked a loan officer at this bank, they would refund it, but the tellers won’t. That’s enough for us.

Life on the Lawless [Local Waterway]

Like many local taxpayers, I used to enjoy scenic walks along the public pathways of our [local waterway]. But, this historic landmark has been desecrated in recent years, becoming a racing track for speed boats that soak unsuspecting pedestrians with their massive wakes that splash onto the walkways. I cannot even push my child in a stroller without her being nearly rundown by unlicensed ATVs and dirt-bikes.

Researcher Challenges Myth of Untouched Forests Before White Settlement in Western NY

BY MARK OBBIE

What did the Bristol Hills and western Finger Lakes forests look like when white settlers began moving here in the late 1700s? A SUNY Geneseo geographer will present research that shows the significant role of Indigenous land management long before European-American settlement, and how legacies of their land use persist today, if you know where and how to look.

SUNY Geneseo geographer Stephen J. Tulowiecki will give his talk, “Finger Lakes Forests Before European-American Settlement,” to the Bristol Hills Historical Society on ursday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. at the Historical Society’s century-old Grange Hall at 6457 State Route 64 in Bristol Springs.

Tulowiecki has extensively studied the effects of periodic light burningoftheforestsbyIndigenouspeopleandhowthoseandother horticultural practices le enduring marks on our landscape. “It’s nottruethatwhitesettlersfoundonlyuntouched,old-growthforests when they began populating our region,” he said.

His and others’ research has mapped the locations of Indigenous towns and major trails throughout the western Finger Lakes and Genesee River valley. During his talk, Tulowiecki will highlight how groupings of old white oak trees today might indicate past Native American land use, as these trees thrived in open forests maintained by light burns.

“Understandingthelandasitwashundredsorthousandsofyears ago can inform our understanding of the land we now live on and can instruct us on how to mimic Indigenous land-use practices to achieve certain land management goals,” Tulowiecki explained.

Sharon L. Mosher

August 23, 2024

Lakeville: At age 75, Sharon passed away peacefully on Friday, August 23, 2024, at Elcor Nursing and Rehabilitation in Horseheads, NY. She was born on April 29, 1949, in Wayland, NY to the late William and Edna Noll. Sharon is predeceased by her siblings, Val Wiedemann, Wayne Noll, Frank Noll, Gerald Noll, and Shirley White. Survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, Chuck F. Mosher, her children, Val (James) Stevenson, Loretta (John) Schwendy, Bill Mosher; Joe Mosher (Mandy Murphy); her siblings, Tina (Al) McDaniel, Betty Jean Noll, Dawn (Mark) Neri, and Barry (Barb) Noll, and her grandchildren, Alyssa, Ryan, Dillion, Kaylee, Michael, Alyvia, Jessee, and Vixen, along with several nieces, nephews, and friends.

Sharon worked at West’s Shurfine for many years. She loved listening to music, dancing, but most of all spending time with her friends and family.

Friends and family are invited to Sharon’s Celebration of Life Gathering from 2-6 PM on Sunday, September 8, 2024, at the Harrison-Lee Post 283 American Legion, 3850 Federal Road in Livonia.

Lilies

The flower most commonly associated with funeral services in the popular mind is the lily. Lilies are often interpreted as a symbol of the innocence that has been restored to the soul of the departed. A white stargazer lily symbolizes sympathy and any type of white lily expresses majesty and purity.

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, the rule of two has long reigned among professional automotive technicians and driving safety advocates. In accordance to this rule, drivers replacing important parts in their cars and trucks, such as tires, brakes, shocks and wiper blades, should always do so in pairs.

Replacing parts in pairs can ensure vehicles are properly balanced and functioning safely. But it’s not just tires, brakes and other big-ticket components that should be replaced in pairs. Vehicle lighting plays an integral role in keeping drivers and their passengers safe, and motorists should exercise the same caution regarding their vehicles’ headlights, taillights and turn signals that they do when maintaining the rest of their cars and trucks.

THE GROWTH OF THE SOLAR EMPLOYMENT SECTOR

According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, there were 260,077 solar workers working at 8,601 solar companies in the United States in 2016. The census also found that the five states with the most solar jobs in 2016 were California, Massachusetts, Texas, Nevada, and Florida. Twenty-eight percent of state solar workers in 2016 were females, making women the largest demographic in the solar industry. Latinos and Hispanics (17.2 percent), Asians or Pacific Islanders (9.1 percent), and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (9 percent) rounded out the top four demographics employed by the solar industry. Of the 260,077 solar industry jobs in 2016, more than 137,000 were classified as installation jobs that paid a median wage of $26 per hour. With roughly 38,000 jobs in 2016, solar manufacturing was the next biggest employer of workers in the solar industry.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Take more time off. According to the “State of American Vacation 2016” report from Project: Time Off, American workers failed to use 658 million vacation days in 2015. Vacation is not just a time to get away, but a valuable, effective way for workers to recharge. The APA notes that avoiding the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout requires workers to take time away to replenish and return to their pre-stress level of functioning. Taking time off to disconnect from work and avoid thinking about work can be just what workers need to overcome their work-related stress. And plenty of workers have the time to take off; they just need to take it.

DID YOU KNOW?

Charcoal grills can remain hot for hours, even long after the flames have extinguished. As a result, charcoal grill users should recognize that their jobs are not done once the burgers, hot dogs and other foods have been removed from the grill. To safeguard against fires resulting from still-hot charcoal grills, grillmasters should avoid moving the grill while the coals are still burning hot. In addition, avoid placing any flammable objects close to the grill while the coals are cooling down. Potentially combustible items should also be kept far away from charcoal grills, ideally in locations where gusts of wind cannot blow them toward the grill. Charcoal grill owners can also inspect the metal grates on their grills to make sure they are not rusted. Damaged or rusted grates can make it possible for items to fall down onto surfaces below the grate, increasing the risk of fire. Another way for charcoal grill users to make using their grills more safe is to avoid the use of starter fluid or other igniters once the coals have been ignited. Doingsoonlyincreasestheriskof fire or accident and is unlikely to help the coals maintain a strong flame that lasts long enough to cook foods quickly.
