HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

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

them.

Get A Good View

Having full view of what’s ahead and behind your vehicle, at all times, is vital, so be sure to check your windshield wiper blades and washer fluid before winter precipitation hits. On a snowy or low-visibility day, you can easily go through half a gallon or more of windshield washer fluid trying to keep your view clear. For that reason, it’s also a good idea to keep some extra fluid in the trunk in case you run out. In colder climates that experience ice or frost, you may want to keep a bottle of de-icing windshield spray handy. Simply spray your icy windshield with the fluid, turn on your vehicle defroster and your windows will clear quickly and easily.

Dr. Walter Cooper A Legacy of Science, Education, and Civil Rights

BY SUZIE WELLS

So many Rochesterians have made indelible contributions to our rich history, and RCSD School #10 on Congress Ave. is named a er Dr. Walter Cooper for a very important reason.

e first African American to earn a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Rochester (1957), Cooper made a name for himself in his professional field. However, his contributions to civil rights and advocacy for education as a means to improve humanity have been his even stronger legacy.

Growing up in Clairton, Pennsylvania, Cooper says he learned his educational self-discipline and broader views of humankind from his parents and neighbors in what he describes as a multicultural community with immigrants from Italy, Sicily, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and many other countries. He says, “We were surrounded by what I consider a compilation of humanity … where we saw how people worked hard trying to survive.”

A strong student raised with self-discipline and dedication to learn as much as he possibly could, Cooper earned a full academic and football scholarship at Washington & Jefferson College, where he majored in chemistry and minored in physics and math. A star athlete and student leader, he was elected president of the college’s National Honor Society and graduated in 1950.

Cooper and his wife moved to Rochester so he could pursue his PhD, and worked at Eastman Kodak, earning three process patents in photographic chemistry during his 30-year career until he retired in 1986. He credits Kodak for allowing Black scientists to succeed.

However, embedded in the racial unrest of Rochester mid-century, Cooper found himself more and moredrawntothecivilrightsworld, “emphasizing [his] humanitarian perspective and passionately held views that better education was the answer.” He connected with Martin Luther King, Jr. about peaceful protests and the importance of being disciplined and orderly.

Dr. Cooper co-founded the Rochester Urban League (1965), founded Action for a Better Community (1964), served as president of the NAACP Rochester branch, and was Associate Director of the Rochester-Monroe County Anti-Poverty program. Cooper also establishedRochester’sSisterCityprogramwithBamako,Mali(1975).

Hiscontributionstocivilrightsanddiplomacyearnedhimwidespread recognition, including the Frederick Douglass Medal for lifelong civil rights involvement from the University of Rochester (2008) as well as honorary doctoral degrees from Washington & Jefferson College (1987) and SUNY Geneseo (2005).

At the heart of Dr. Cooper’s activism has been his belief in the transformative power of education. From an early age, reading and developing an understanding of current affairs and civil discourse through reading the papers his mother had at home, Cooper understood that education was the great equalizer, transcending racial inequality and empowering marginalized communities. is conviction led him to serve on the Board of Regents for the New York State Education Department, where he championed initiatives to improve access to quality education for all students.

roughout his life, Dr. Cooper crossed paths with such icons as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Robert Kennedy. Yet, it was his humility and compassion that has le the most lasting impression on those who knew him. Described by Washington & Jefferson as a “visionary leader [who has] influenced thelivesofpossiblythousandsofstudentslookingforgreaterpurpose, direction, and change in a turbulent, unfair world,” Dr. Cooper’s legacy continues to inspire future generations.

Reflecting on his life’s work, Dr. Cooper remains steadfast in his commitment to creating a more equitable society. “Life has been very good to me,” he says, “because I think I used lots of energy and time in promoting my own future and the future of others around me. at’s why I take a great interest in education, because it’s the leveling field for those who come from poverty, for those who are unnoticed in this great society.”

Today, the legacy of Dr. Walter Cooper lives on at RCSD School #10, a testament to his enduring influence on science, education, civil rights, and humanity. His life serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding us that true greatness lies in service to others.

VENT BRIGHTER

How Two Strangers Brightened My Demeanor

Cigarette butts

It was a cold rainy day and at age 82, I didn’t want to drive on 490 in heavy traffic to Rochester General Hospital from my home to visit my wife of 59 years. I took an Uber ride. I struck up a conversation with the driver, Mike, for the 15 minute drive. He was a good conversationalist, stating he had retired in the past year. He was driving part-time to work for another year to save more money for he and his wife’s dream vacation to Aruba. I told him how happy I was for him. Then at 8PM visiting curfew hour came and I got another Uber. This time it was a woman in her late 30’s. In our talk she stated that she had 3 children, ages 8,11 and 14 but she was divorced. Unbelievably she worked a full-time job in the day and part-time at Uber three nights a week for 4 hours each night. When she got me to my home I told her to just wait in the driveway. I gave her a bottled water and an apple. Life is not easy.

Featured Media Staff to the Rescue

I often see people standing outside smoking a cigarette and then they either just throw it on the ground or throw it down in the drains. I often wonder if they think by throwing it in the drain they’re doing us a favor. But they’re not. There’s toxic chemicals, Arsenic and Lead that will be released into the environment and contaminate our water. I don’t know about you, but I like drinking clean water and breathing clean air. You would think everybody would want to drink clean water.

Cell Phones

I want to recognize & commend the extraordinary efforts of your publication’s Featured Media staff, specifically Jenna for going the extra mile in assisting me with the printing and on-time delivery of photo Christmas cards. Although I thought I was allowing enough time to upload & submit my choice photo for printing of the cards, my inadequacies in properly doing so (I am somewhat tech-challenged) presented difficulties to the graphic design staff. But with Jenna’s patience & perseverance she was able to not only work her magic in getting the cards printed successfully, she also apologized (though not at all her fault) for the delay, and ended up expediting the shipment for delivery. Kudos.

(By the way, why have the former Raves/Rants columns been replaced by the far-less-catchy terms “Brighter/Vent”?)

If you’re going to stand and talk on your cell phone, please don’t stand next to the crosswalks or have a social discussion there either. If you’re going to be on your phone, at least move further away instead of remaining there.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

High Troponin Levels Follow After Bout of Food Poisoning

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old male who apparently suffered a case of food poisoning. I say apparently because no cause was ever discovered for the uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea that lasted for a whole day and recurred briefly the following morning. A trip to the emergency room involved many tests, but nothing turned up except a troponin level well over 0.04 ng/mL, which prompted an angiogram that didn’t reveal any problems with my heart. What else might have caused my high troponin level? -- Anon.

ANSWER: A troponin level is a standard blood test usually used to evaluate patients for heart attacks. However, newer, highly sensitive assays have proven that tiny levels of troponin may be detected in nearly everybody.

A level above 0.04 ng/mL is often used as the cutoff for the “normal” range, but depending on the assay and population studied, a few healthy people may have levels above this. People with heart attacks may have troponin levels in the hundreds or thousands. The higher the troponin level, the more muscle damage there is. The fact that your coronary arteries don’t show any blockages is very good news. Other types of heart damage may also cause a high troponin level, including inflammation of the heart (myocarditis) and heart failure. Also, critical illnesses can cause high troponin levels (at much higher levels than you may have had) in people who don’t have heart blockages. (A median of 0.57 ng/ mL was found in people with septic shock.)

I found a long list of reported causes behind elevated troponin levels, but gastroenteritis was not on the list. I suspect your body was working so hard to fight off the infection without enough fluid that your heart needed more oxygen-carrying blood than it got, leading to tiny amounts of injury to the heart muscle despite normal heart arteries. You can lose a lot of fluid with vomiting and diarrhea, and people at age 77 don’t have as much reserve as they did when they were younger.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NERVE INJURIES

What are the symptoms of peripheral nerve injuries?

Autonomic nerves: Excessive sweating, changes in blood pressure, an inability to tolerate heat, and gastrointestinal issues are potential indicators of autonomic nerve injuries.

CAN MY DENTIST TREAT A MOUTH SORE?

Mouth sores—also called mouth ulcers and canker sores—are painful red, yellow, or white spots that appear inside the mouth. They are not the same as cold sores, which appear on the outer lips and are caused by a virus. Mouth sores are common because they’re often caused by biting one’s cheek or tongue. But sometimes mouth sores can indicate something more serious, like the presence of cancer. Other causes include sharp teeth, improper tooth brushing, or ill-fitting dentures, all of which can be fixed by your dentist. If you frequently get mouth sores for no apparent reason, your dentist can monitor the sores and recommend further testing to see if cancer or another condition is causing the problem.

It’s difficult to smile when you have oral issues. If mouth sores or other oral

concerns prevent you from smiling, take care of the problem with the help of your dentist. Your smile power is our primary focus at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, and we’ll work with you to help you achieve optimal oral health. For gentle dental care for everyone in your family, using the leadingedge techniques, equipment, and materials available today, please call us at 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre. We accept most insurances.

P.S. Mouth sores often clear up on their own, but any mouth sore that lasts more than three weeks should be evaluated by a doctor or dentist.

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week). ADVANCED PODIATRY ASSOCIATES

Help Reduce Animal Overpopulation

One of the easiest ways to prevent pet overpopulation is to spay and neuter animals. Cats can reproduce at very fast rates. According to the Cat Rescue, Adoption & Foster Team of Central Oregon, two uncontrolled breeding cats can create the following situation if they have two litters a year at a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter: 12 cats in the first year, 66 cats in the second year, and 2,201 cats in the third year. Cats reach puberty between 4 and 12 months of age. Female cats reproduce between January and September, and might come back into “heat” every 14 to 21 days until they have bred or daylight decreases considerably. Cats can give birth 60 days after they have bred.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Cat Walking…

Beneficial or not?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a neighbor who puts both of her cats on leashes and walks them through the neighborhood each day. Shouldn’t they be outside on their own, prowling and doing cat stuff? Sign me -- Concerned Cat Mom in Providence, Rhode Island

DEAR CONCERNED: As long as the cats aren’t distressed by the leash, I don’t see a problem.

Some cats are completely uninterested in exploring the world outside, and some are downright fearful of it. And that’s totally fine. Others, however, want to be outside every chance they get.

Letting cats wander outside puts them at risk of being struck by a car, attacked by wildlife or feral cats, or contracting an illness. Cats can be a menace to other creatures, so much so that there’s evidence they are impacting the bird population. Songbirds are already under threat from climate change and bird flu (which spreads just as easily among wild birds as it does on chicken farms), so adding another predator to the list is not a good thing.

Putting a cat on a leash (and in a harness, rather than a collar) is a great way to help them explore while keeping them safe. It’s also helpful when taking your cat on long car trips -- they can stretch their legs safely at rest stops.

For those who’d like to try walking their cat, buy a harness that fits your cat. Cats won’t like the harness at first; put it on and just let them get used to it while you hold the leash loosely. Make it a positive experience with lots of treats. Once they start exploring comfortably with the harness on, walk around with them, guiding them. Don’t tug on the leash or drag them. Pick them up if they won’t move, but always keep it positive.

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

Be mindful of decorum. The internet is a largely informal “place,” but professionals should be mindful of decorum when networking online. Resist the temptation to use shorthand, slang or less formal language when contacting other professionals, as doing so can make you appear unprofessional. In addition, avoid making potentially controversial or contentious comments on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

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.
