Pet Allergies Blossom in Spring

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 7-year-old cat, “Sunbeam,” has a tough time in the spring when the pollen starts to fly. He sneezes frequently, his eyes water and he scratches hot spots on his skin. I’ve tried many things to reduce the allergens in the home: I vacuum every other day, run an air purifier near where he sleeps and I brush his coat daily. TITLE: None of that seems to help. What else can I try? -- Harry in Pittsburgh

DEAR HARRY: You’re doing your best to reduce airborne allergens, and that’s great. However, because it doesn’t seem to be helping, it’s time to enlist the help of your cat’s veterinarian.

e vet can suggest some other ways to reduce allergens in the home, and will consider that Sunbeam is reacting to more than one issue -- not just pollen, but indoor dust or even the food he’s eating. ey will also check for any secondary issues that may be contributing to Sunbeam’s discomfort, like an ear infection or yeast infection.

Short-term treatment with a prescription medication, like a steroid or an antihistamine, may be necessary during the worst part of the season. ese will help reduce the intense itching and eye irritation, and should help clear up hot spots on his skin.

At home, try adding fish oil and probiotics to your cat’s food -- these supplements can help with itchy, flaky skin conditions. (I give my cat a teaspoon of plain yogurt daily to balance his gut bacteria.) An occasional bath, twice a month or so, using a pet shampoo that contains oatmeal will soothe his skin and wash away any lingering allergens on his coat. (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR A RISING COST OF LIVING

Apply lessons learned during the pandemic. A recent Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. government and Eurostat data found that roughly 9.6 million workers in the United States lost their jobs in the first three quarters of 2020. That period coincides with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. When forced to confront sudden and unexpected job losses, millions of individuals learned how to get by on less income. Cost-saving measures adopted during the pandemic can be continued or reimplemented, helping individuals to combat higher energy costs and other rising expenses.

Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift givers can cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant.

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Brown patches: The National Association of Landscape Professionals notes that brown patches in a lawn often develop after heavy snowfall. Such patches tend to develop where large piles of shoveled snow were deposited, so homeowners can inspect alongside driveways and walkways. The NALP advises homeowners to rake away part of the brown patches first. If green tissue is emerging beneath, then the lawn will likely be fine in due time. However, if the area beneath is not green and surrounding areas are already turning green, homeowners may need to rake up dead tissue before applying topsoil to the affected spots. Once topsoil is spread, some grass seed can be spread and the grass should regain its green glory.

Here’s A Tip

“I like the smaller size of kids’ meals at the drive-thru. I save the toys in a box, then I drop them off with a teacher friend to use as rewards in her classroom.” -- via email

“I found a bunch of guttering at a garage sale super cheap, and was inspired to bring it INSIDE my house. I purchased end pieces at my local hardware store and cut the gutters to fit inside my closet. ey line the wall all the way up in horizontal rows. I use them to keep shoes, purses, even small baskets of accessories. It’s wonderful. -- T. in Tennessee

Tim & Deb Smith Spearhead Global Zoological Network

BY SUZIE WELLS

High school sweethearts at the newly-merged Honeoye FallsLima High School, Deb and Tim Smith now of Mendon parted for college and ended up not seeing each other again for 40 years. A er teaching and living several states apart (Deb taught elementary school and college math in Virginia, while Tim taught English at Victor High School), Deb and Tim reunited a er Tim’s mother passed away, Deb heard through the grapevine and sent a sympathy card, and the two began corresponding.

Deb says her fondest memory during their courtship period when she was in Virginia and he in New York was that every day she found an envelope from Tim in her school mailbox. Each contained an original letter Deb had written to Tim 40 years ago; he had saved every one. Tim says, “It took me a long time to play those cards!” and the two say sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for. Engaged on Deb’s mother’s birthday (December 4), the Smiths were married on Tim’s mother’s birthday (June 12) at Ganondagan to honor both of their Native American ancestry, and Tim’s former student officiated.

e Smiths live beside the Mendon Sentinel newspaper office, and the publisher Chris Carosa suggested they write about their background. Whatstartedasrecallingtheirpersonalstoryfor eSentinelreadership bloomed into weekly features about a wide array of local and personal history stories. eir writings inspired their first book, e Beatles, e Bible, & Manson: Reflecting Back With 50 Years of Perspective in 2019, and they’ve explored a variety of topics each year since.

With five books previously published, the Smiths decided to explore their interest in animals. In Crowning the Animal Kingdom, the first global anthology of fictional and nonfictional stories, the Smiths gather over 200 contributions from around the world, sharing anecdotes from over 100 countries, all 50 states, 40 wildlife preserves, and dozens of animal advocacy groups, as well as individual zoos and aquariums, creating a “Noah’s ark of animal antics entertaining and educational for all ages.”

simply asking zoos and aquariums for their most unique animals, oldest animals, and animals with clever names. is soon turned into a project also featuring wildlife preserves and incorporating the expertise of animal advocacy groups who fact-checked their respective animals’ chapters.

e project, the Smiths say, “[sails] into uncharted waters from a literary standpoint … no one has ever taken the threads of zoological conservation, animal history, and animal humor, and fed that trilogy through the eye of a single needle,” as happens in this new book.”

e Smiths’ goal is that their humor and pop culture will “bring the environmental message to a broader audience who might not be inclined to delve into a totally scientific approach to this topic.”

Particularly exciting to the Smiths throughout the process was going to their computer and finding out what part of the country or world would have reached out to contribute to this global project.

e Smiths say they “weren’t trying to write a biology book nor a media encyclopedia,” but instead started by

Some of the Smiths’ favorite stories from the book include the one animal le on the planet that had contact with Adolf Hitler, the animal that was handled by both Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin (1962-2006). Hearing about each zoo’s choices for their animals with the cleverest or funniest names provided hearty laughter along the way as well.

And when the Smiths received input from animal sanctuaries in Africa, such as the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance and Uganda’s Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary, with goals of animal rescue and survival against poachers and illegal traffickers, the Smiths knew their project would positively impact the animal kingdom.

e Smiths are happy with their latest publication and hope it will help zoological conservation efforts at home and abroad, while providing entertainment and education to all readers.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF VEGETARIAN DIETS

Many people change their lifestyles in an effort to improve their overall health. Changing the foods one eats is one of the more common ways people try to get healthy, and many people find adopting a vegetarian diet helps them realize their goals.

Adopting a vegetarian diet can be a great way to improve personal health. Vegetarians may now find it easier to maintain their lifestyles than ever before thanks to the year-round availability of a variety of fresh produce and more vegetarian dining options offered at restaurants. Even premade vegetarian foods are more widely available at markets and grocery stores.

Approximately six to eight million adults in the United States eat no meat, fish or poultry, according to a Harris Interactive poll commissioned by the Vegetarian Resource Group, a nonprofit organization that disseminates information about vegetarianism. Many more avoid red meat while still eating fish and poultry.

Although studies into vegetarianism long pointed out the potential nutritional deficiencies of such a diet, the tides have shifted, and many nutrition experts now note how eating plant-based foods offers sufficient nutrition and can reduce the risk for chronic illnesses. A vegetarian diet may offer protection against cardiovascular disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Data published in the Proceedings of the Nutrition Society found vegetarian diets are high in carbohydrates, dietary fiber, essential vitamins and minerals; offer an abundance of antioxidants; and are very low in saturated fat. However, switching to a vegetarian diet is not enough to lose weight or get healthier. Choosing the right type of vegetarian foods - including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteinrich legumes - and controlling portions is key.

Vegetarians may have low cholesterol, as well as fewer incidences of stroke and obesity and cardiovascular incidents than non-vegetarians. Whether this is entirely food-based, or because vegetarians tend to also embrace other healthy habits, has not yet been determined.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Diabetics Receive Great Results From a Plant-Based Diet

DEAR DR. ROACH: Your recent column about treating diabetes left me wondering. Diabetes, as I understand it, is usually a result of too much sugar being consumed. But consuming carbohydrates is not that different because they are quickly converted to sugar through the human chemical processes. So, why are you promoting a plant-based diet that is high in carbohydrates?

Consuming protein, which is easily obtained by eating meat, seems to be the answer to reducing the consumption of simple and complex carbohydrates that are quickly converted to sugar in our body. I’ve switched to a high-protein diet (both plant and animal protein), and my blood sugar has been very well-controlled for a couple of years. -- F.B.

ANSWER: Diabetes is not a result of consuming too much sugar. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where the cells that make insulin are destroyed by the body. Type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance and a relative inability to secrete insulin in response to a sugar load.

In a person with Type 2 diabetes, consuming too much sugar in a short time overloads the body’s ability to respond, so their blood sugar goes up. It is persistent high blood sugar that is responsible for most of the damage to the kidneys, eyes, blood vessels and nerves.

I am careful about what I mean by a plant-based diet. While it’s true that a diet consisting entirely of maple syrup and orange juice would be extremely bad for a person with diabetes because of the concerns about blood sugar that you raised, a plant-based diet that is mostly vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fatty fish and nuts/seeds with moderate amounts of whole fruits does not raise blood sugar more than a standard Western diet.

The high fiber content of the legumes, whole grains and vegetables prevents rapid absorption, and the protein and healthy fat in nuts and fatty fish likewise slow stomachemptying. Finally, there is good evidence that people with diabetes have excellent results with this kind of diet.

You are right that protein is important for a person with diabetes, but many high-protein diets based on meat also have high amounts of saturated fat, which increase the risk for heart blockages. In addition, saturated fat is a major cause of disease and death in people with diabetes. However, it is possible to have a healthy, high-protein diet with care.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

Thank you

Library Etiquette

While shopping at the Geneseo Dollar Store, I had to go back out to the car because I had forgotten my money. A woman inside paid for my laundry detergent when I got back. I want to thank her. Her kindness is appreciated. I will pay it forward.

A Sincere Heartfelt Thank You

My pregnant granddaughter was visiting April 28th from Michigan. She had a problem with a front tire and the tire shop was hesitant about only doing 1 tire on a four wheel drive. My granddaughter was not able to afford 2 tires and a front end alignment. A female customer graciously paid for both tires and the alignment. This lady will never know how very much her generous gift was appreciated. May God bless you. Thank you so much.

Please teach your children how to act in a library! School age children are coming in, talking loudly, watching/listening to rude videos/music on high, leaving trash and being very disruptive! The library is a public space for all, not a playground or circus.
