DID YOU KNOW?

DatafromtheUnitedStatesDepartment of Justice indicates that partner violence accounted for 20 percent of all violent crime in the U.S. in 2018. The World Health Organization defines intimate partner violence as behavior within an intimate relationship that causes physical,sexual or psychological harm. Such violence can include acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse, and controlling behaviors. Violence perpetrated by both current and former spouses and partners falls under the umbrella of intimate partner violence. Domestic violence is so prevalent that the National Network to End Domestic Violence reports that it fields more than 19,000 calls on a typical day. Anyone who is a victim of domestic violence or suspects a loved one or acquaintance is being abused is urged to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-7873224 (TTY) right away.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CAT REPRODUCTION

While there is still some debate among veterinarians as to the best age at which to spay or neuter cats, the general consensus seems to be the earlier the better, particularly if cats have access to other cats that are not fixed.This can occur as early as age six to eight weeks, while standard spays and neuters occur at five to six months of age. Vets who advocate for spaying before the first heat say it nearly eliminates the risk of mammary cancer, and spayed cats will not develop ovarian and uterine cancers, according to PetMD.

PAW’S CORNER

Stray Cats Take Out Local Chipmunk Population

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Recently, a pack of cats have started wandering on my property, especially at dawn and dusk. Two of them are wearing flea collars, with no ID tag; the rest have no identification. I don’t approach or feed them. Some of them might be my neighbors’ cats, but I don’t know. Since they started prowling my three acres, the chipmunks and birds that used to frequent the yard have disappeared. How do I deal with this cat problem? -- Tracy in upstate New York

DEAR TRACY: Contact your local municipality -- city, town or county -- and visit their website to find out if they have an animal control officer. If they do, contact them and explain the problem.

Now, most rural areas have few to no animal control officers assigned. So you may be told that they only respond to calls where the animal poses a threat -- aggressive dogs, bears, rabid raccoons and so on. But reporting the cat pack is still important. Furthermore, ask them what resources exist in your area for dealing with stray cats.

Here’s a few other tips:

-- Is there a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program active in the area? Contact them for advice.

-- Ask your nearby neighbors if any of the cats belong to them. If so, ask politely if they can keep the cats indoors.

-- Take a photo of the cat pack and post it on social media. Ask if any of the cats have been reported missing.

-- Contact local shelters for advice. ey probably won’t take in feral cats, but you can bring in friendly and approachable cats that don’t have identification. Purchase a cat carrier so you can safely transport them.

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.

Plant perennials around the property. Well-maintained perennials grow back each year, making them ideal for homeowners who don’t have the time or desire to map out new gardening arrangements each spring.Planting perennials also is a great way to add color around the property without breaking the bank.

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON DIY PROJECTS

Make sure you choose the right ladder. DIYers may spend ample time shopping for drills and other electronic tools and gadgets that are fun to use. But ample time also must be afforded to the type of ladder you intend to use on a project. Estimates from the West Bend Insurance Company indicate that roughly 90,000 people visit the emergency room due to ladder accidents each year. Never use a broken ladder or an aging ladder that’s uneven. In addition, do not use a ladder that forces you to reach far away. If you’re leaning while using a ladder, the ladder is either too short for your project or positioned too far away from the wall. The National Home Security Alliance advises DIYers to place their ladder one foot from the wall for every four feet it rises above the ground. Test your ladders for their sturdiness prior to beginning work so you aren’t tempted to use a subpar ladder.

Protecting Honeybees

Provide clean sources of water. A small garden feature or a rainwater collection is enough to provide bees with a drink whenneeded.

Protecting Honeybees

If you come across a hive, leave it alone. It’s best not to disturb a hive and honeybee colony. If bees are located where they can become a nuisance, contact a local bee expert to see if the hive can be moved.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Osteoporosis Screening for Men Remains Controversial

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I are confused about the guidelines concerning when older men should be screened for osteoporosis. All the information seems to suggest that it is only needed for men over 70 who have had a fracture. In my husband’s case, he was only told to get a DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan after he had back pain and several compression fractures of the thoracic spine (up to 70%), at the age of 72. His T-score was -2.8 for his spine.

I can’t help feeling that because he is male, weighs 200 pounds, has an active lifestyle and was previously 6 feet, 2 inches tall, the issue of osteoporosis just never came up during his yearly primary care visits (even though his height had decreased since at least 2019, and he’s now only 6 feet tall). This is a potentially life-threatening condition for older women and men, but the risks for women seem to get all the attention. What’s the reluctance to order a simple, fast, painless, not-too-expensive test to screen men earlier? -- B.W.

ANSWER: In general, screening tests (by definition, a test done on a person with no symptoms of the condition) are done when there is good evidence that the screening will lead to an improved outcome in the screened group compared to an unscreened group. The data in women is strong enough that all women over 65 and women younger than 65 with additional risks for osteoporosis should be screened with a DEXA scan, but there is not strong enough data to support screening in men.

Osteoporosis screening in men is controversial. While one of the most influential groups does not recommend screening in all men over 70, some groups do, despite an absence of proven benefit. They base this recommendation on the fact that, as you say, it’s not a particularly dangerous test (the radiation dose is small), nor is it expensive (the average cost is $150, but can be higher in some states). One major downside of testing in general is that no screening test is perfect. As such, an unexpected finding of osteoporosis in a man requires that the screening test be repeated to be sure the test result is accurate.

Even though men are not always recommended for screening, there are some medical findings that should prompt a test. One is a loss of height -- losing more than 1.5 inches of height should have prompted a DEXA scan. (Strictly speaking, this is no longer a screening; it’s an evaluation of the cause of an unexpected medical finding.)

A low testosterone level (either by itself -- hypogonadism -- or as a result of medical treatment for prostate cancer); primary hyperparathyroidism; inflammatory bowel disease; and longterm use of prednisone and similar drugs are all known risk factors for osteoporosis that should at least trigger a discussion of a DEXA scan. Similarly, the finding of osteoporosis in a man should prompt consideration of the underlying reason behind it, which could include any of the risk factors listed above.

Unfortunately, there are no cures for progressive dementias that are linked to plaque tangles in the brain and changes in the way the brain processes the protein alpha-synuclein. Patience and various medications may be needed to help those with dementia live fuller lives. Cholinesterase inhibitors are mainstays in dementia treatment. These medications prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger important for learning and memory. Acetylcholine supports communication among nerve cells by keeping acetylcholine levels high. Physical therapy and cognitive therapy may be used in conjunction with medication to assist those with various dementias.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

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).

• Handicapped Accessible.

YOUR FIRST FILLING

If you’re receiving a filling for the first time, you may be wondering what to expect, if it will hurt, and how long it will take? Most simple fillings require an hour-long appointment. The dentist will begin by using a topical numbing agent to numb the area before injecting an anesthetic numbing agent. This crucial step ensures you will not feel any pain during the treatment. Next, depending on the cavity’s location, you may have a rubber dam inserted into your mouth to help the dentist better access the treatment area.Then the dentist will use either a drill,laser, or air abrasion instrument to remove decay from the tooth.After the area is sufficientlycleaned,thecavityisfilled.

Salvatore’s Pizza Family Introduces Innovative “I LOVE SCHOOL” Program to Celebrate 45th Anniversary

In a heartfelt gesture to mark their 45th anniversary, Salvatore’s Pizza Family has unveiled the “I Love School” program. A beloved fixture in the community since its inception as a high school home economics project in 1978, Salvatore’s Pizza is taking this momentous occasion to give back to the community that has supported them throughout the years. e program aims to foster a spirit of appreciation for education and hard-working educators by providing classrooms and students with incentives that highlight positive behavior, acts of kindness, and academic excellence.

e “I Love School” program is a testament to the pizza chain’s commitment to community engagement and its dedication to making a positive impact on local education. Ashley Maria King, President of Business Operations, expressed the company’s enthusiasm, saying, “We are always looking for new ways to get involved in our community, and with it being back-to-school season, we were trying to find a way to help teachers the best we can.”

e heart of the program lies in classroom nominations, where teachers, parents, and even students can nominate deserving classrooms to be part of this initiative. Nominations continue until September 30th, with the aim of selecting classrooms from every school in Monroe and surrounding counties.

Classrooms selected will win Free SuperSlice Cards to be redeemed for delicious slices at any Salvatore’s Full Menu location. e excitement doesn’t end there; select classrooms will also receive Free Large Pizza Cards, facilitating a Back-To-School Pizza Party sure to add a dash of excitement to the new academic year.

King shares that the program’s goal is to “donate SuperSlice cards to at least one classroom for every single school in Monroe County and surrounding counties. We hope to do more than one classroom per school, but this is what we are going to initially aim for.”

Kayla Kent-Moreira, President of Restaurant Operations, spoke about the potential of these rewards, explaining, “Teachers can use Salvatore’s SuperSlice cards as a gi for students, or to use as class rewards for attendance, good grades, or acts of kindness.” is innovative approach brightens the classroom atmosphere and reinforces positive student behavior.

Salvatore’s Pizza is deeply rooted in the Rochester community, and this program reflects its commitment to making a difference. e company has a rich history of engaging with the community through various initiatives, such as supporting local charities, including the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, Camp Good Days & Special Times, and NEQALS EMT, and Rochester’s Do the Right ing initiative. Salvatore’s franchises sponsor a variety of community events and youth sports organizations. Salvatore’s is also known to buy out deserving Girl Scout troop cookie inventory to give away, and all locations offer free pizzas to veterans and active military personnel on Veterans Day. During COVID, Salvatore’s started a Feed Rochester campaign to donate pizzas to local hospitals and all first responder locations as well as nursing homes and homeless shelters.

“We are a local business, born & raised in Rochester, NY --and we do whatever we can to try to help our local community,” emphasizes CEO/Founder, Salvatore SoccerSam Fantauzzo. “We just want to put a smile on someone’s face and pizza in their hand.”

With the “I Love School” program, Salvatore’s Pizza Family reiterates its commitment to nurturing the potential of the next generation and fostering a sense of community that has been at the heart of their journey since the beginning. As nominations roll in and classrooms eagerly await the chance to participate, this initiative will leave an indelible mark on the educational landscape of Monroe and surrounding counties.

For more information about the “I Love School” program and to nominate deserving classrooms, please visit the official Salvatore’s Pizza website: www.salvatores.com/iloveschool.

FLORIST & GIFT SHOPPE

Fine examples of today’s youths Saturday, August 19th there were 6 young women at Lehigh and East Henrietta Rd advertising a car wash at the Rush-Henrietta High School. They were energetic, polite and fun. I went to the high school and the rest of the group and the adult in charge were just as fun. As a resident of Henrietta I was so happy to see young people volunteering for the school. Thank you all. You put a big smile on a cranky old woman’s face. Thank you, you made my day.

Dear neighbors, we tire of your stereo during your frequent late night pool parties! It is midnight, and we are still hearing the beat as we sit here in our own living room! How about some consideration for others. Please respect our town’s noise ordinance!

Wedding Showers

The tradition of a wedding shower is to help a future bride acquire the necessary items needed to set up her new home. Today, more and more couples live together for years prior to getting married. What is the purpose of a wedding shower when most couples already have everything they need? As a guest, we are required to buy an expensive inconsequential item from the long list on the registry, and then spend an afternoon watching the gifts slowly get opened as if they have no idea what they are about to receive. Wouldn’t it make more sense to forgo the expensive shower expo and just go out and buy the gifts you preselected on the registry? Just food for thought.

Get

much paperwork as possible. Many vehicle owners prioritize record-keeping, saving maintenance receipts for everything from standard oil changes to more significant repairs. When buying from private sellers, buyers should not hesitate to request a vehicle history report as well as all documentation of maintenance that has been performed on the car since sellers have owned it. Consider it a red flag if sellers do not have any paperwork or refuse to provide it.

How To Avoid Growing Bored In Retirement

• Embrace a new hobby. Whether it’s perfecting your golf game, writing that novel, learning to cook like a gourmet chef or whatever else you might have always wanted to do, retirement is a great time to do it.

• Volunteer. If a part-time job is not up your alley, then consider volunteering in your community. Volunteers are always in demand, and volunteering with a local charity can provide a sense of purpose and provide opportunities to meet likeminded fellow retirees, all while helping to quell your boredom.

We’ve Moved!

~ Helen Keller

Education is not limited to formal schooling in classrooms. We are continually being educated by our associations with other people, with nature and by our own realization of the meaning of the things we see around us. Such education leads to a more perfect understanding and the reasons why we are here.

Not everyone wants to be educated. Some not only ignore their opportunities to learn but actually resist all chances to gain a better understanding of life..... an understanding that could mean greater satisfaction and happiness.

You can call on us to provide advice and comfort as you would expect from your closest friends, in your time of loss. Our goal is to be worthy of your trust.

THE RIGHT WAY TO UPDATE A RÉSUMÉ

Embrace keywords. Many employers now use application tracking software to sift through the scores of résumés that are submitted for each opening they post. Keywords make it easy for employers to sort through thousands of résumés. The right keywords will flag your résumé and increase your “relevancy score” in the main HR/recruiting software programs available. Adapt your résumé for each application you submit. Use some of the words listed in the initial job posting and description. In addition, look at similar job postings and incorporate some keywords listed in those ads so that you have all the bases covered.
