HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN TRAVELING ALONE
Think safety before you leave. When planning a trip, make sure safety is your top priority. For example, research areas that pose a higher liklihood of robberies occurring or other crimes based on traveler feedback. Consider all-inclusive resorts that keep activities contained in a protected and managed area. Also, research the safety statistics of particular hotels and cities.

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

HOW TO CONSERVE ENERGY THROUGHOUT SUMMER
Install ceiling fans. Ceiling fans can improve cooling efficiency in a home. According to the DOE, ceiling fans allow men and women who use air conditioners to raise the thermostats on their AC units about 4 F without adversely affecting comfort levels. Men and women who live in temperate climates may find that ceiling fans are enough to keep rooms cool without the need for air conditioners.
REMODELING
MAINTAIN SPARKLING CLEAR POOL WATER
Maintaining a satisfactory level of disinfectant will help prevent the multiplication of bacteria and algae in the pool. Many pools are kept clean through the use of chlorine products. The ratio of chlorine to water needed to maintain the clarity of the water depends on the size of the pool, the sanitizer used, weather, sunlight and evaporation, and the pH. In many instances, the available free chlorine in a pool when tested should be between 3 and 4 ppm to offer adequate sanitation. Frequent testing will help pool owners gauge how well the pool water is holding chlorine and how to compensate if extra is needed.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

Patient Needs Help Discussing High Blood Calcium With Doctor
DEAR DR. ROACH: A friend has been diagnosed with high blood calcium, and when I googled it, the results concerned me. Can you give information on this and how to discuss it with the doctor? I want to forward the column to my friend, and hopefully, the information encourages/helps with the medical discussions between my friend and their doctor. -- Anon.
ANSWER: There are many causes of high blood calcium levels, and some of them are quite scary to read about. Hopefully, your friend’s doctor is already in the process of discovering the underlying cause. Some causes are pretty clear, as some medicines are wellknown to cause high calcium, such as thiazide diuretics like HCTZ.
The first step is being sure that there really is high calcium by repeating the blood level. A tourniquet left on for more than a minute can cause acid buildup in the arm, which displaces calcium and causes a false elevation. This problem can also be avoided by being expeditious with blood draws or by measuring the “ionized calcium” for changes in the protein albumin, which also affects the calcium level. If the calcium level is repeatedly high, the next place to look at is the parathyroid hormone, which is one of the main regulators (along with vitamin D) of blood calcium levels. Most cases of high calcium in otherwise healthy people are caused by excess parathyroid hormone, most often from a benign tumor in the parathyroid gland. In the unusual case that this isn’t the issue, less-common causes, including excess vitamin D and some cancers, should also be considered. As far as an encouraging discussion, if your friend’s doctor isn’t bringing it up (which they should), being as open-ended as possible is best, with questions such as: “Why is my calcium high? Do I need to do anything about it?”
***
Level: Intermediate
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.

PAW’S CORNER
By Sam Marzotta
DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I have a 1-year-old mixed-breed puppy named "Star" who I'd love to take on Saturday hikes with me. I'm an avid hiker who can do up to 20 miles or more per day. Is this too much for a young dog like her to handle? -- Gary in Boulder, Colorado
DEAR GARY: Your instincts are right-on -- that kind of mileage is too much for a puppy. But, depending on the dog, you can build Star's stamina gradually, adding miles as she grows. For a 1-year-old puppy, start with no more than a mile or two, and keep it light and fun. If Star whines at three-quarters of a mile, take a break for a few minutes and see if she'll go on. If she shows signs of tiredness, like lagging behind and not being curious about things around her, it's time to head back. Some pet parents will carry their puppy for the remaining miles, but that's up to you -- I think that it's better to just gradually build the miles.
Notice that I also said "depending on the dog." Some dogs just aren't enthusiastic about hiking long miles. Others -- especially small dogs, toy and pocket breeds -- cannot walk very far without tiring. (Fortunately, they can be carried easily.) Don't lament if hiking ultimately isn't Star's thing; just build an outdoor schedule where she can share in the fun on some days with short hikes, and you can still get in lots of mileage while she remains at home or with a friend.
An adult dog can do 5 to 20 miles depending on their fitness and enthusiasm. But you'll need to adjust your lifestyle to gradually bring Star up to that kind of distance.

Amy Post: A Champion of Abolition and Equality in Rochester
BY KAYLEE DUDA
In the mid-19th century, Rochester, NY was a hotbed of social reform and activism, and among its most influential figures was Amy Post, a determined abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights. Her legacy in Rochester is a testament to her unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
BornAmyKirbyonDecember20,1802,inLongIsland,NewYork, she grew up in a Quaker family that valued equality and social justice. ese principles deeply influenced her and laid the foundation for her future activism. In 1828, she married Isaac Post, and the couple moved to Rochester in 1836, where they quickly became integral members of the city’s reformist community.
Amy and Isaac Post were ardent abolitionists. eir home in Rochester became a crucial stop on the Underground Railroad, providing refuge for countless enslaved individuals seeking freedom.
e Underground Railroad is estimated to have helped around 100,000 enslaved people escape to freedom between the late 18th century and the end of the Civil War in 1865. e Posts’ dedication to the cause was evident in their willingness to risk their own safety to help others obtain the freedom they deserved.
Amy Post’s activism extended beyond providing shelter; she was deeply involved in the broader abolitionist movement. She was a close friend and confidante of Frederick Douglass, who lived in Rochester and published his influential newspaper, e North Star, from there. Post and Frederick Douglass met in the mid-19th century, likely in the early 1840s. eir paths crossed through their mutual involvement in the abolitionist movement. Douglass o en stayed with the Posts, and Amy provided him with unwavering support as he campaigned against slavery.
In addition to her work in the abolitionist movement, Amy Post was a staunch advocate for women’s rights. She played a significant role in organizing the first woman’s rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848. Although the convention is o en associated with figures such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, Amy Post’s contributions were crucial in shaping the event and its outcomes. For example, Post advocated for the inclusion of women’s suffrage in the Declaration of Sentiments, the document that emerged from the convention.
o en working alongside other prominent activists such as Susan B. Anthony. Her efforts helped lay the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote.
Amy Post’s commitment to social justice le an indelible mark on Rochester and the nation. Her home, which served as a haven for both freedom seekers and reformers, is a symbol of her tireless efforts and enduring spirit. Post’s correspondence with other activists provides valuable insights into the interconnected nature of the various reform movements of the 19th century.
Post’s activism extended beyond abolition and women’s rights; she was also involved in the temperance movement and efforts to improve education and prison conditions. Her multifaceted approach to social reform demonstrated her belief in the interconnectedness of various forms of oppression and her dedication to addressing them all.
Today, Amy Post is remembered as a pioneering force in the struggle for equality and justice. Rochester celebrates her legacy through historical markers, educational programs, and community events that honor her contributions. e Rochester Museum & Science Center and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House are among the institutions that preserve and share the stories of Post and her contemporaries. See the Post house historical marker on Sophia St. (now N. Plymouth Ave. according to the Rochester Regional Library Council) in Rochester. History happened here.
Amy Post’s life and work remind us of the power of individual action in the face of systemic injustice. Her unwavering dedication to the causes of abolition and women’s rights continues to inspire new generations of activists committed to making the world a more just and equitable place.
During the convention, there was significant debate over whether to include the demand for women’s suffrage in the Declaration of Sentiments. Many attendees, including prominent figures like Lucretia Mott, were hesitant to include such a radical demand, fearing it might undermine the credibility of the entire movement, yet Post continued to advocate for what she believed in.
Post’s advocacy did not stop at the convention. She continued to fight for women’s suffrage and equal rights throughout her life,

Question: Do you know how to score a bowling game? Yes, you can only knock down 10 pins per frame. And there are only 10 frames per game. So how does a perfect score add up to 300?
Answer: It’s more complicated than that. Strikes and spares have their own special (bonus) scoring system. And the 10th frame allows for one or two extra balls if you knock all the pins down.

Make a household favorite more healthy
Many beloved dishes might be enjoyed more often if they were only a little healthier. Author and former personal chef Michelle Dudash was once asked by a client if the she could make a healthier version of chicken parmesan. The result of that request is the following recipe for “Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach,” which Dudash ultimately included in her book, “Clean Eating For Busy Families” (Fair Winds). The recipe was a hit with Dudash’s client and will surely be a hit at home cooks’ dinner tables as well.
Skinny Chicken Parmesan with Spinach Makes 6 servings
For the sauce:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pinches salt
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon honey
For the chicken:
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
11/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 6 pieces, pounded to 1/4 inch
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 cups baby spinach
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 6 medallions (or shredded)
Preheat oven to 375 F and coat the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan with olive oil spray.
To make the sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and cook gently for 30 seconds. Do not brown. With your hand, squeeze each tomato into the pan and add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and honey. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, lowering the heat as needed.
To make the chicken: Combine parmesan cheese, flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium dish and coach chicken with cheese mixture. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, rounded-side down, and cook until golden on one side, about 5 minutes. Arrange chicken in a baking pan. Pour remaining 2 teaspoons of oil into skillet and add spinach. Cook spinach for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted and swirl in lemon juice. Gently press spinach to release water and divide spinach on top of chicken. Spoon sauce around and over the chicken, place mozzarella on top, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake for 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve over spaghetti.

ENJOYING THRILLS AT AMUSEMENT PARKS
Roller coasters are a staple of amusement parks, and even though the first patent for a roller coaster was issued to LaMarcus Thompson in 1885, it’s believed modern roller coasters descended from winter sled rides made popular in the 17th century in St. Petersburg, Russia. Called “Russian Mountains,” these thrill rides took place on icy hills that may have reached as high as 200 feet in the air.

Reach out to your neighbor first, not the town
Thankful
I want to thank the Livingston County DOT workers who were working in Ossian next to my house on July 31st when I fell outside. They saw me fall and came to my rescue as I couldn't get up by myself. I didn't catch their names unfortunately, but I will forever be thankful for them coming to my aid. Thank you once again to those wonderful men for helping a klutzy old lady.
Good Samaritan
There are still good people out there making the world a better place. While bringing my 90 year old mother to her doctor’s appointment, my vehicle’s clutch decided to give out on me several blocks from our destination. Stranded in the middle of the road unable to move, a Good Samaritan stopped and helped push my vehicle onto the side of the road. If that wasn’t enough, he then drove us the rest of the way to her doctor’s appointment, avoiding a long walk for my aging mother. In the midst of our turmoil I didn’t get his name, But after thanking him profusely, I wanted to honor him here for his unselfish deeds. We need more people like this man in his Jeep to share kindness and concern for others. Thank you.
To the neighbor who complained about my fence, I’m sorry I didn’t get it fixed fast enough for you. I’ve been here nearly 50 years. You could have come and told me it was bothering you. I never saw any kids out. If you had a problem, you could have offered to help fix it. I called six companies and one called back five days later. My son is my caregiver and fixes everything, plus yardwork, so it’s hard for him to do everything. Two years ago, my husband of 60 years died and my taxes went up $1,000. Twomonths later, my 6 year old fridge quit, so $1,600 later at Thanksgiving I got a new one. Then my furnace quit. I made payments for that (I also had major surgery), then my microwave went at Christmas. I’ll be 82 next week, and all my ‘old’ neighbors have either died or moved. This is a country where neighbors have always gotten along. So, if you have any more problems, go to the person, not the town.
Price for product repair is very high
Nowadays it is getting very pricey to get a repair person for a product that is broken even though a warranty may apply. In my case I bought an inside chair lift for my 12 indoor stairs about 10 months ago that go from the 1st to the 2nd floor. Unfortunately for me and my wife the plastic switch that operates it broke off. The repair guy came over and analyzed the situation. He stated that the switch was still under warranty and he’d be back in about a week to install a new piece. When he came back he installed the new piece in less than 5 minutes. While the part or parts were free, the two service calls from [business name] cost me a whopping $374.22. Outrageous!
