DID YOU KNOW? Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

DID YOU KNOW?

The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian.The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines. Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.

On April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin in McLean, Virginia. A year later, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective, and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America. (The History Channel)

Raisins are produced by the Ancient Egyptians.

Welcome to Selma

Oats were cultivated thousands of years ago and were actually used as fodder for animals. Oats were rarely consumed in North America but in parts of northern Europe and Scotland they were used in porridge.

OATMEAL RAISIN

ONLY ONE Find the lone cookie that has no matches!

Before the oatmeal cookie came into existence, there was oatcake. Since Roman times this was popular in Scotland and it was relied on for an energy boost. Apparently, during wartime, soldiers would carry oatcakes with them as a quick snack.

The First Oatmeal Cookie | Fannie Merritt Farmer creates the first-ever oatmeal cookie in the U.S.

Over half of the world’s raisins come from California. Although Napa is known worldwide for its wine-producing grapes, the Golden State’s raisin capital is actually the city of Selma— just southeast of Fresno. This area produces over 350,000 tons of raisins annually.

HOMETOWN PHOTOS

VENT BRIGHTER

There are good people out there!

Pharmacy disappointment

On Good Friday, I went out for a fish fry at a local well-known restaurant and had a wonderful meal. When the server asked me if I needed anything else, I said just the check. She said it’s been taken care of, along with the tip. I have no other way to say thank you to whomever did that, so thank you! I’m in my 80s and that’s never happened before, so I say there are good people out there!

Mustangs contribution to the Pop Up Pantry

I would like to thank Mrs. Auble and her students in the Entrepreneurship Class for collecting and giving food to the Pop Up Pantry in Dansville on April 15th. I was one of the fortunate ones to receive your bag of goods. It not only helped out my household but three other households that were in need of food. So, thank you again! An older Dansville citizen.

The large grocery store pharmacy I use in [local town] is always so backed up with customers. There is often a very long line inside at the counter as well as at the drive-thru window. I never use the drive-thru because of how busy it is, but the other day I decided to utilize it because there was only one car at the window. I was the first car waiting behind the car being serviced at the window. That car took 19, yes 19, minutes at the window! I did not have the option to leave because during the first few minutes of waiting, several cars (at least 7 or 8) took their place in line behind me. So I was stuck there. If there is an issue with an order that is taking that long, why can’t pharmacists ask the car/customer to pull around or come inside so that the other customers in line are not stuck for that long? I only decided to use the drive-thru that day because I was tired of waiting in line at the counter, and thought with just one car ahead of me it would be quicker. What a mistake.

Animals in grocery stores and carts

I understand that many people love their pets like family. Pets, however, do NOT belong in stores where groceries are sold. Regulations are posted at the entrances of all of the groceries in our area stating that service dogs ONLY are welcome. Pets, therapy and emotional support animals are NOT service dogs!

The potential risk of contamination from fur, dander, or pathogens is a valid concern, especially concerning food items. These animals especially should be prohibited from being placed in carts. Pets may carry parasites and germs, as well as leave fur, dander andallergens, and a cart that held a pet is unsanitary! It concerns me that the management and workers do not enforce these rules.

Emma! She is a photo ham. Loves her toys of any kind. Loves her sips of coffee like her Mom. She is young but going on 10.. Lot of energy for a Husky! We love our Emma as much as she loves us!

Here’s a Tip

* It’s tough to eat home-cooked meals as a single eater. Most recipes are geared for multiple portions, and you probably don’t want to eat the same thing for five days straight. Try this: Get together with some friends and have a potluck. Each guest brings an entree and at least two side dishes, in extra-large portions, and his or her own le overs containers. Split the food up amongst the guests, packaged as meals. Everyone can cook once and eat for a week.

* Did you have too much summer fun last year? Be ready to soothe that sunkissed skin this year with frozen aloe vera. Use an ice-cube tray to freeze aloe vera gel, and let the soothing begin!

How to Greet Other Dogs on the Street

Never Lose Power Again!

Schedule your free in home assessment today.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a sweet but somewhat rambunctious little mutt, “Karla,” who is about 13 months old. e problem is that she wants to jump and bark at other dogs when we’re out for a walk. How can I calm her down? -- Jen in Duluth, Georgia

DEAR JEN: Reactivity is natural behavior for a puppy that loves to play with other dogs, but of course, it’s not desirable behavior. Jumping and barking can trigger an aggressive response from some dogs, or stress out other dogs. It can scare humans.

Fortunately, it’s a behavior that you can moderate with a specific, daily training regime that will teach Karla to stay calm on the leash.

First, gather your tools: A sturdy leash that is about 5 feet long (no retractable leashes allowed), a harness and a pocketful of Karla’s favorite treats, cut into tiny pieces. I recommend the harness over a collar because it allows you to strongly control Karla if she starts jumping, without risking an injury to her throat.

Next, teach and reinforce three crucial commands: sit, stay and heel. From the moment you put on Karla’s harness and leash, to when you take them off at the end of the walk, she needs to follow your commands. Karla should sit calmly while you attach and remove the leash. During the walk, she should remain next to you, with a little slack in the leash. If she starts to tug ahead, stop, command her to sit and, once she sits, start off again, giving the command “heel.”

Keep the training positive, and remember that it will take time and consistency. As she learns what you expect from her, Karla will become a great walking companion.

Creating Inclusive Joy: Inside Grow’s Spring Semiformal Dance

BY SUZIE WELLS

Sarah Mehta, a University of Rochester student, class of 2025, majoring in cell and developmental biology and minoring in public health, is founder/director of Grow for Adults with IDDs (intellectual and developmental disabilities), aiming to provide opportunities for people with IDDs to get together, try something new or learn something new, simply enjoying life with other people.

Grow hosted its first (hopefully annual) integrated Spring Semiformal Dance on April 12th near the U of R. “ is fun evening was a celebration fostering connections and breaking down barriers,” Mehta says.

Instrumental to coordinating this event along with Mehta was Grow’s Executive Board, comprising Navya Soogoor, Hana Zhang, Zoopash Jalal, Sara Mermel, Emily Chen, and Chrysolite Dhinakaran. eir dedication and tireless efforts, starting the planning as early as the fall semester, even before the board was fully developed, laid the groundwork for a memorable evening of inclusion and joy.

e Spring Semiformal welcomed around 120 attendees, including individuals both with and without IDDs, alongside volunteers whose support was invaluable. Mehta thanks Tim Baird, Julie Simone, and their team at Rochester Holy Childhood for providing crucial assistance, as well as the U of R’s Disability Awareness Club for decoration materials to help make the event magical.

Mehta’s personal connection to the cause, rooted in her brother’s experience with Down Syndrome, imbued the evening with a deeper significance. She says her brother always raves about these fancy galas he attends in Saratoga, NY, and Mehta wanted to create a similar experience for people in Rochester.

integrated event aimed to provide a platform for people with developmental disabilities to practice social skills and enjoy themselves.

“ e results spoke volumes, with so many attendees stopping by to express gratitude for the event, saying they had so much fun,” Mehta recalls happily. Mehta says the food and performances were fabulous and everyone who attended had a great time, so their goals for next time are simply to start preparing the space more in advance to alleviate the lastminute rush the volunteers experienced.

Beyond her roles as undergraduate student, teacher assistant, and as research assistant at U of R’s Spectrum Brain Lab, Mehta volunteers at Together Include Every Student (TIES), at U of R’s cancer/surgical center, and occasionally helps at the Ronald McDonald House.

Central to Grow’s mission is addressing the social disparities faced by individuals with IDDs. “Neurotypical people tend to have more friends, go out with people more o en, and generally be more social,” Mehta notes. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities, on the other hand, typically have fewer opportunities for such social interactions. is

She acknowledges her passion for working with people with IDDs, and says no matter where her medical career takes her, even if she doesn’t work directly with people with IDDs, she will surely maintain volunteer ties to help inclusivity flourish.

Mehta says, “We all should be more inclusive, accepting, supportive of everyone, no matter their abilities.” Grow’s Spring Semiformal “brought people together, with everyone having fun together as equals, showing that people with all abilities can do everything. We should make society as inclusive as possible.”

In a world striving for acceptance and understanding, organizations like Grow and events such as the Spring Semiformal serve as beacons of hope, reminding us of the transformative power of inclusivity and the joy that arises when all are embraced as equals.

I’ve banished Winter, saith the Spring, Awake! arise, ye flowers! Brisk breezes blow, Bright sunshine glow, And rouse the young Year’s powers.

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.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Looking at the Causes Behind Mobility Issues

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 79 and can move around without any problem. I walk five days a week, and my weight is normal. However, it seems to me that many people -- some younger than I am -- have mobility problems. I wonder what causes this problem. Is it lack of exercise, genes, weight, etc.? -- E.G.

ANSWER: Be very grateful that you can move around without a problem, as most people in their late 70s do have mobility issues. The most common reason is osteoarthritis, but there are many causes, such as neurological diseases, cardiovascular issues and other types of arthritis. While it is true that not exercising can lead to poor mobility, most of the time, it isn’t a person’s fault that they have difficulty with mobility. Arthritis can happen to a person of any weight and at any level of exercise.

Exercise helps the vast majority of people improve their mobility, but there are exceptions. Many people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome are intolerant of exercise, and overdoing it can lead their condition to worsen. This syndrome has also been known as systemic exertion intolerance disease. Well-meaning physicians, friends and family might have recommended exercise to a patient, which could have caused them to have a flare-up.

Although being very overweight increases the risk of arthritis, having a normal weight doesn’t prevent its development. Genetic influences are very complicated, but they also have a role in the development of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis can also come about as a result of significant trauma to a joint. ***

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. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
