PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
NEW YEAR, NEW CAT
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My parents at Christmas said I’m finally old enough to have a kitten! We are going to the local Humane Society this weekend to adopt one. What suggestions do you have so that I train the kitten right?
-- William in Manassas, Virginia
DEAR WILLIAM: Grab a book on cat care at the local bookstore or library and read it cover to cover. While cats are considered to be easier to care for than dogs, they still need to be properly house-trained and given a routine (which helps immensely with reducing anxiety-related behaviors, too).
I’m sure you’ve already stocked up on kitten food, though it’s a good idea not to buy too much to begin with. You’ll want to try a few different brands and types of food -- dry, wet or fresh -- to see what the kitten likes and how well he responds to each.
When you pick up your new kitten, talk to the shelter staff to learn about any particular behaviors the kitten has, any health issues that need monitoring, and any advice they have for getting him or her settled in. Cats being prepared for adoption are sometimes fostered out to make sure they can live easily with humans and to observe them for any health or behavioral issues that need to be ironed out before they’re ready to go to a forever family. e shelter will have that information for you so that there are no surprises (like territorial peeing).
Congratulations, and best of luck! Sounds like you will soon have a new friend in the household.

STATS ABOUT HOME BURGLARIES
Eighty-three percent of burglars admitted they look to see if a home has an alarm before they decide to burglarize it. Sixty percent of burglars admitted they would change their minds about burglarizing a property if they became aware a home as a security system. (UNC Charlotte)

COLD WEATHER WILDLIFE IN HOMES BOOSTS DISEASE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RISKS
Many people may practice the “love thy neighbor” creed, but when it comes to four-legged wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes when outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thinned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has found that many areas of the country continue to report increased encounters with nuisance wildlife.
“While it can be a unique experience to spot wildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be discouraged from taking up residence,” advises Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. “Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed to rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected with rabies. Because of the risks associated with these pests, homeowners should take extra precautions to protect against them.

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS
Avoid electrical work. Complicated electrical work is best left to the professionals. Estimates from the Electrical Safety Foundation International indicate that electrical malfunctions cause more than 50,000 house fires each year. Such malfunctions can occur for myriad reasons, and a lack of experience working with electrical circuits and breakers could make homes vulnerable to malfunctions and fires. It’s also worth noting that homeowners’ insurance policies may not cover damage caused by DIY electrical work. So at the very least homeowners should contact their insurance providers to determine if any accidents or injuries caused by DIY electrical work would be covered by their policies.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP RESOLUTIONS STICK THIS YEAR
Get support or talk it out. Speaking about what you are going through and getting reassurance from other people can work wonders to strengthen resilience. When the desire to quit sneaks up, you can consult with a friend or consider a support group. For example, taking a group class at the gym may be a more effective motivational tool than working out solo.
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Steroid Injections Provide Amazing Relief From Shingles Pain
DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your recent column on shingles. I am 66 and in fairly good health. I had both Shingrix shots about five years ago and take hydroxyurea for polycythemia vera (PV). Around August 1, I noticed some spots on my forearm that appeared to be a spider bite. I went to my family doctor, and she immediately diagnosed me with shingles and put me on gabapentin, which didn’t help much. The next month was complete misery. I never really had itching or an extensive rash, but intense pain and burning developed from the top of my neck down to my left thumb and forefinger. My wife read that hydroxyurea lowers your immune system, which is probably why I had such a bad case of shingles despite the Shingrix shots. My cousin is a retired anesthesiologist and recommended an epidural steroid injection (ESI) that would help me immediately. I had the injection, and within 24 hours, I had an 80% improvement in my pain level. Over the next month, the pain decreased another 10% to 15%. I went from being almost incapacitated to being able to live again in 24 hours. The outcome was life-changing!
It seems that doctors need to be brought up to date on ESIs for shingles. I understand that the studies are inconclusive, but the on-the-ground results seem to show that it is effective. The pain from shingles has to be experienced to really understand how debilitating it can be. ESIs are fairly inexpensive, and even if they only helped slightly, they would be worth the cost. To have the improvement I found is priceless. -- Anon.
ANSWER: I often recommend the vaccine to prevent shingles, but as your case shows, the vaccine isn’t perfect. I agree that your PV and its treatment with hydroxyurea may have predisposed you to the complication of shingles you had, called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). You are quite right that the pain can be extraordinarily severe.
I am glad you wrote because steroid injections are not a treatment that I have written about before. As you say, not all trials found a benefit, but the largest trial found that intrathecal injections (which are similar to epidural injections but are found to be more effective in a small trial) led to excellent or good pain relief in 90% of people with intractable PHN, compared to 4% in people who didn’t receive treatment.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 50-year-old man. When I was at the pharmacy recently, they said I could get a vaccine for pneumonia. Is this something I should do? -- S.I.
ANSWER: The pneumonia vaccine at age 50 is a new recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The risk for developing severe pneumonia from the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae starts to increase at age 50 and becomes much higher after 65. The new vaccines (PCV20 and PCV21 under the brand name Prevnar) have long-lasting protection for many strains of this bacterial species.
If you haven’t had this vaccine and are over 50, you should consider it during your next visit. (It’s OK to get the vaccine at the same time as the flu or COVID vaccines.)

ARE THERE GOOD AND BAD PROTEINS?
Determining the nutritional value of certain foods can be a tricky business. Many foods can be enjoyed in moderation, and labeling them as “good” or “bad” might lead to negative connotations. In addition, food labels change from time to time as nutritionists and doctors learn more about nutrition and revise their opinions on certain items.
One food type that has remained off the bad foods radar for quite some time is protein. Protein sources are largely touted as the be-all and endall in nutrition. But even seemingly infallible protein should be eaten in moderation, and even then only if the right sources of protein are selected. Protein is an essential building block of good nutrition that is found throughout the body and makes up the enzymes that power many chemical reactions. Protein helps fuel the hemoglobin in the blood that carries oxygen throughout the body.
The Institute of Medicine recommends that adults get a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight per day (or 8 grams of protein for every 20 pounds of body weight. Physicians in the United States recommend a daily protein allowance of 46 grams for women over the age of 19 and 56 grams for men. Too often, however, people are overloading on protein because they think it’s a better option than carbohydrates and other food sources. But not all protein is the same.
Protein that comes from animal sources offer all of the amino acids a body needs. Unfortunately, some animal sources are less healthy than others. That’s because animal-based protein sources also contain saturated fat. Consuming too much saturated fat may contribute to elevated levels of LDL, or “bad,” cholesterol in the blood. LDL may lead to the formation of plaque in arteries that limits blood flow and may be a risk factor for heart disease. Fatty red meats and whole-milk products tend to contain more saturated fat than other protein sources.
The key when consuming protein is to find the right balance in protein sources. Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds may offer many of the required essential amino acids. The rest can be obtained by choosing smarter animal-based protein sources. Salmon and other fatty fish are good sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids (heart-healthy fats) and are generally low in sodium. Lentils offer 18 grams of protein and ample fiber. Plus, these legumes have virtually no saturated fat.

THE TRAVELING CABARET CELEBRATES 35 YEARS
BY SUZIE WELLS
This year marks a remarkable milestone for the Traveling Cabaret, a volunteer performance troupe, as they celebrate their 35th anniversary on July 4th. Since its founding in 1990 by twins Phyllis and Sandy Kravetz and Linda Maloney, the cabaret has performed over 590 shows, raising funds for student scholarships and various charitable organizations while delighting audiences.
e cabaret’s performances are anything but ordinary, and the Kravetz sisters say, “Audiences know to expect the unexpected.” Unlike a traditional chorus,thetroupeincorporatesprops,costumes,and choreography into each number, creating a dynamic experience for audiences. From fast-paced Broadway and movie tunes from the 1920s to modern day, to comedy routines and holiday-themed numbers, shows are designed to entertain people of all ages.
e troupe, comprised of eight members as well as pianist Bob Dietch and sound expert Bruce Dunn, meets weekly to rehearse while balancing personal and professional lives. Some members are now retired, while others maintain full-time careers. Despite these commitments, the cabaret remains central to their lives. Phyllis beams, “I’m proud of our little group. It makes you feel nine feet tall to bring joy to the community and raise money for the charities. It makes us feel good that we generate money for worthy causes.”
roughout the years, the Traveling Cabaret has been featured across regional media and has garnered accolades for their contributions to the cultural vitality of the Rochester community. ey have received thirty-eight grants and various commendations, including certificates of achievement from the Monroe County Legislature, NYS Senate, and local governments. e troupe’s efforts were recognized by the Arts & Cultural Council of Greater Rochester during their 10th anniversary celebration, and they have been honored with the JC Penney Golden Rule Award for community service.
e group’s enduring success and camaraderie are evident in Phyllis’ reflection: “We are like a big family. have the opportunity to meet so many people—we mingle with the audience, answer questions. No group lasts 35 years, but we’re doing something right to still be together today.”
Phyllis and Sandy add, “ ere’s so much bad in the world. It’s fun to provide something fun for our audiences. When we look out at the audiences, no matter the ages or demographics, heads are bobbing, toes are tapping—it goes straight to our hearts.”
Traveling Cabaret performances continue to delight audiences at venues ranging from restaurants and gazebos to churches and private homes. Attired in their signature red, white, and black evening wear, they bring a polished and spirited energy to each show. eir holiday performances are particularly anticipated, featuring both beloved classics and lighthearted pieces like “Christmastime is No Time to Diet” and “ e 8 Days of Hanukkah.”
e cast’s diversity and dedication exemplify the unifying power of music and performance. Cast members hail from all walks of life, includingretireddentalhygienists,anITexpert,arespiratorytherapist, a social worker, retired bank representative, and a retired Eastman Kodak employee. Despite their varied backgrounds, the members share a common passion for bringing joy to others through song and dance.
As they approach their 35th anniversary, the Traveling Cabaret stands as a testament to the power of community, dedication, and the joy of performance. Indeed, the Traveling Cabaret continues to prove that music can bring people together, create lasting memories, and inspire generations to come.

Be Respectful of the Times You’re Sending Texts
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
Why is it people think nothing of sending texts messages at all kinds of times?!
I’m tired of getting awakened by people sending me texts at unreasonable hours. How about some consideration?
I’ve been asked, why don’t I just turn my phone off at night?
Answer:
I would like to say thank you so very much to the wonderful woman (found out she is a nurse) who helped me out in the Wegmans parking lot awhile back. I was having a medical issue and she assisted me with my bags and walked me all the way to my car. I did not catch her name but I have and will continue to pay it forward.
1. I have both a son and father who have life-threatening medical conditions that I’ve multiple times been called for assistance on and I don’t want to not be there to help them. If you’re OK with missing a call about a loved one, that’s your choice, but it’s not mine.
2. If I had a fire, medical emergency, or break-in, I sure don’t want to wait for my phone to boot up.
Before you send someone a text, how about you ask yourself:
1. Do I expect the person I’m texting wouldn’t be sleeping now?
2. Is this a time I would call someone, instead of texting?
If the answers to those questions aren’t YES, then can I suggest you write your text so you don’t forget, but send at a later time?

Here’s A Tip
BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson
* Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver, plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently with a damp, clean rag. Rinse well with a separate rag, and buff dry. en just step back and let it shine.
* If you’ve ever oversalted soup, don’t worry; here’s a great tip to recover your meal. Just cut a single potato into several large slices. Add them to the soup, and they will soak up the extra salt. Remove before serving.
* S.W. of South Carolina has this tip to share: “If you can’t seem to keep track of your keys, make an extra set for those mornings when you are running late and can’t spare the time to look for them. It has saved me a lot of stress, for sure.”

TIPS FOR COMFORTABLE CAMPING
Invest in quality gear - In addition to the tent, campers will need a tarp/ground cover to place under the tent. This helps prevent moisture seepage from the soil. Next, determine how everyone will sleep, whether on the ground or in cots. Cots can be the most comfortable options, but they take up a lot of space and can be heavy to transport - which is less than ideal when backpacking to a campsite. Inflatable mattresses or sleeping pads can be used in conjunction with sleeping bags to provide a soft, cushioned surface. Some are affordable at $40 while others may cost as much as $300. Costlier options may be best for frequent campers.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel
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.
* On Jan. 22, 1984, during Super Bowl XVIII, audiences first see a commercial now widely agreed to be one of the most powerful and effective of all time. Apple’s “1984” spot featured a young woman throwing a sledgehammer through a screen on which a Big Brother-like figure preached about “the unification of thought.”
