DearAmazingPerson
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the wonderful person who found and turned in my anniversay ring at the Geneseo Walmart on February 1st. I was absolutely heartsick when I realized it was missing. You are a wonderful, amazing and honest person and have proven to me that there are still great people in this world!
You are an angel in my eyes!
On Friday, a couple of weeks ago, I came out of Tops in Dansville and my car wouldn’t start. Tried a couple of times and due to the radio and heat being on and because it was about 11 degrees out it just wouldn’t! A young lady knocked on my window and asked if I needed help. I said my car won’t start, and she said give me 10 minutes, I’ll go home and get my jumper cables. She drove away in a fairly new Ford pickup and sure enough she came back. By that time my car recouped enough power to start. I ran over to tell her it started and thanked her. I can’t tell you how much that meant to an older person that this young person would be so kind! I didn’t get her name but I certainly would know her if I saw her again! Thank you!

A-Salted
While I do appreciate having safe roads to drive on during snowy winter weather, I am dismayed at the amount of salt that coats the roads in our village and town. Not only is it terrible for the environment, it is a waste of taxpayer money, not just for the salt but with the price of fuel.
Plows are out on roads that are clear of snow at all hours of the day and night (can you say overtime?). I passed 6 plows on a 15 minute drive to a nearby town last night. Highway departments, please show some restraint and implement sensible salting and plowing policies!

MAKE CUT FLOWERS LAST LONGER
Purchase immature blooms
Although many desire an arrangement of all opened flowers, bouquets that have some closed buds or those that are just beginning to peek out will likely last longer than bouquets that have already bloomed. The flowers will continue to open and wilting flowers can be removed to make room for the others.

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.
Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energy-thirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’reoperatingatpeakcapacity. Replace older appliances, includingrefrigerators,thatareno longer effective.

HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES
Arguably one of the most challenging - and often frustrating - components about puppyhood is training the dog to use the outdoors for bathroom needs. It’s easy to underestimate the time involved in housebreaking a puppy. The Humane Society of America says puppies typically can control their bladders for one hour for every month of age. That means if the dog is three months old, he can hold it for about three hours.
This is Harley,
our 6 month old Cavachon puppy. He loves blueberries, stealing socks, and playing with his cousin Daisy the Boston Terrier. But above all he is a huge cuddle bug & loves a warm lap!

Cold weather can be deadly for outdoor cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I care for a rescued barn cat who refuses to come indoors -- she will come onto the porch for food and water, and let me pet her, but that’s about it. I was able to get “Gertie” spayed a few years back, so that’s no longer a problem. However, I worry about her in the cold weather. What do you recommend to keep outdoor cats from suffering in freezing temperatures? -- Caroline in Roanoke, Virginia
DEAR CAROLINE: Shelter is important during the coldest months of the year, and even if an outdoor cat has survived OK in past winters, that can change -- especially as they get older.
Food, water and shelter are the three biggest things you can provide to help an outdoor cat survive and remain healthy during the winter. Place fresh water in a container that won’t freeze easily, such as a thick-walled dish.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends building (or purchasing) an outdoor cat shelter that is appropriatefortheirsize--nottoosnug,butnotsolargethat it can’t hold in the cat’s body heat (www.humanesociety. org/resources/how-care-outdoor-cats-winter).
You can line the inside of the shelter with Mylar sheets that reflect body heat even better. For bedding, an old pillowcase filled with packing peanuts or crumpled newspaper is helpful, or you can use straw. Place the shelter near where you’ve observed the cat resting, or try placing it on the porch next to her food and water. (Don’t put water inside the shelter in case it spills.)
Remove and replace bedding every couple of weeks to keep things fresh and help maintain warmth. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.
AccordingtotheCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention(CDC), one in four individuals in the United States lives with a disability. For the Schworm family of North Greece, this statistic hits close to home. When their daughter, Kassidy, was diagnosed with multiple developmental disabilities,KristyandJohnSchwormfoundthemselves navigating a complex and o en overwhelming landscape of resources and services. is personal journey became the foundation for NavigateMD, a comprehensive online platform designed to simplify this process for families everywhere.
Kristy Schworm, a military veteran originally from Spencerport, and her husband, John, are parents to two daughters, ages 15 and 12. Kassidy, their oldest, was diagnosed at a young age with Tourette Syndrome, Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder, Anxiety, and ADHD. ese diagnoses initially came as a surprise, and the family’s search for support was marked by trial and error.
“We initially sought an evaluation because we were fighting the school district for an Individualized Education Program (IEP),” recalls Kristy. ey thought KassidymighthaveAutism,sothediagnosisofTourette Syndrome “blindsided” them, but experts told them that “the underlying parts of the diagnosis can mirror the behaviors found in someone with Autism.” It was a steep learning curve to understand how the pieces of Kassidy’s diagnoses interacted.
e early years were challenging. e Schworms enrolled Kassidy in various recreational activities, hoping to provide her with social opportunities. Unfortunately, programs like taekwondo, soccer, and dance repeatedly asked Kassidy to leave due to behaviors stemming from her diagnoses. “She was ostracized from the very programs meant to include her,” Kristy says, adding that “For a year, we were flying blind,” trying to find inclusive activities and relevant resources.
e turning point came when the Schworm family discovered resourcestailoredtoKassidy’sneeds.Fromnonprofitorganizations like the Tourette Association of America to a music school offering disability-focused programs, the family began to see Kassidy thrive. She’s now been taking music production (DJ) classes for four years, making friends, and finding a sense of belonging in her community.
Kristy explains that “Once the pieces started coming together, the fear and the isolation started to li , and we could see the light at the end of the tunnel – Isn’t that what everyone wants for their child?” Kristyasks. at’swhytheSchwormsdecidedtobuildNavigateMD. Kristysays,“Wewantedtogivedirectionandhopetofamiliesfacing similar struggles.”
NavigateMD is designed to streamline the search for disability resources. e platform asks users brief questions about diagnoses, medical insurance, location, and travel radius, then filters through a curated directory of providers, programs, and services to deliver personalized results. e site also features pop-ups with educational tips, such as how to apply for New York State’s Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) services. Importantly, NavigateMD is both ADA- and HIPAA-compliant, ensuring accessibility and privacy for all users.
Kristy highlights a recurring issue in her research: many families remain unaware of critical resources. ey’ve connected with so many parents over the past two years who’ve never heard of OPWDD. “ ese services can help individuals with disabilities live in their family homes, access therapeutic support, find employment opportunities, and more. But if families don’t know these services exist, they’re le struggling unnecessarily.”
NavigateMD aims to change that by consolidating and centralizing information in an easy-to-use platform. e Schworms hope it will empower families to make informed decisions without wasting time or energy searching for programs that don’t fit their needs.
As they continue to develop NavigateMD, the Schworms seekfundingtocompletetheplatform. eyarecurrently competing for an Entrepreneur of Impact grant and invite community members to support their cause by voting daily on the NavigateMD Facebook page. With adequate funding, the Schworms anticipate the platform will be operational within three to six months.
To Kristy and John, it isn’t just about their family. “Everyone deserves a place where they feel accepted and can truly shine as their authentic selves! No one should have to navigate obstacles to access the services they need, and with NavigateMD, they won’t have to!”

Understanding the Mechanisms Behind a Nuclear Stress Test
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a comment about your recent column on nuclear stress tests. As an 87-year-old person who has experienced atrial fibrillation and a mild stroke, I have had two nuclear stress tests done. In both cases, I told the supervising nurse I wanted to go to the max limits that they would allow. Even though I attempted to prepare by briskly walking up the hill close to my home and thought I was doing well on the treadmill, I failed to reach the final parameters that they were seeking.
To get me there, I was injected with something (the name escapes me) that is supposed to achieve the same result as the final stage of a nuclear stress test. As I recall the discussion, the nurse stated that many couldn’t get as far as I did. Medications were a way for them to obtain the needed results. -- J.M.
ANSWER: Stress testing may be done for several reasons, but the most common is to determine whether there are blockages in the arteries in the heart that are severe enough to limit blood flow. When ordering a stress test, the clinician has to decide how to stress the heart and get information from it.
In people who can exercise (meaning they don’t have an orthopedic or neurological condition that keeps them from being able to move), then using exercise is the best approach in almost all cases. Exercise is safer since you can stop doing it at any time, and it also provides useful information. People who can exercise for a longer time (9 minutes on a standard protocol called a Bruce) have a very good prognosis; whereas if you can’t make it to 3 minutes, this is a poor prognosis.
The treadmill gets steeper and faster every 3 minutes on a Bruce protocol so that eventually even an Olympic athlete has to give up. The goal is to get to maximum exercise where a person simply can’t go any further. The person who runs the stress test looks for any sign of incipient heart damage through an electrocardiogram (EKG), a blood pressure monitor, or symptoms so that the test can be stopped if it seems dangerous.
Despite trying really hard, some people cannot get their heart rate and blood pressure high enough where the stress test can diagnose heart disease. In this case, the exercise stress test is converted to a pharmacologic stress test. A medication, such as dobutamine, is given to make the heart beat faster and stronger until the adequate workload is achieved.
Many of my patients tell me that this is uncomfortable, and more than once, I have heard someone say, “My heart was going to jump out of my chest.” If there are signs of danger, the medication can be stopped, and in some cases, a reversal agent is given.
Once the heart is at an adequate level of exertion,abnormalities in the blood flow can be detected by the EKG. However, the test’s sensitivity can be improved by looking at blood flow through a radioactive chemical injected in the blood, which can measure blood flow to various regions of the heart more precisely. The sensitivity can also be improved by examining the heart’s wall movement through echocardiography.
In other cases, a more limited stress test is done to determine the safety of exercise. This is often done after a heart attack to determine which exercises a person can do as part of their cardiac rehab.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

WORKING PARENTS CAN CREATE BETTER WORK-LIFE BALANCE
Look for ways to be more efficient. Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contributes to work-related stress. Commuters who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects. Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.

Winter Activity: Painting
It looks like we’re in for a long winter, with extremely cold temperatures in several places. Many of us are already realizing that we just don’t want to go out in that. But what shall we do to occupy ourselves while we’re at home?
I don’t know how it started, but in my neighborhood this winter the favorite activity has become ... painting. Each day new photos of “works of art” are sent around via cellphones as the idea spreads. I decided to join in. Between the internet and home deliveries, we have access to everything we need without going out!
My first step was to do a YouTube search for painting lessons. Right at the top was “Beginner’s Guide to Painting,” and I was off and running. On YouTube it’s possible to narrow down the search results to the subjects you’re most interested in learning to paint, whether it’s sunsets, flowers, mountains, snow scenes, cats, dogs, lakes, vintage cars, beaches -- if it can be painted, there’s a tutorial for it. The topics can be further broken down by watercolor and acrylic painting. There are even videos that outline what supplies you need.
Some suggestions, if you’d like to paint:
Unless you have a store near you that will ship or deliver supplies to you, look online for the big names such as Michaels, Joann and Hobby Lobby as places to start.
You need paint and water, and something to paint on, such as paper or canvas panels, plus a selection of brushes. Add in a small plastic palette for mixing colors.
Look for beginner kits that have a selection of a dozen or so small tubes of acrylic paint colors or a dozen watercolors in a metal tray.
If you fear you have no real talent for painting, I invite you to explore Acrylic Squeegee Painting on YouTube. That technique can make anyone an artist!

STRATEGIES TO DISCONNECT MORE OFTEN
Change your reading habits. E-reader enthusiasts may have access to millions of books at their fingertips, but that access could come at a steep cost. Distractions abound when reading books on tablets, smartphones and e-readers. The internet is only a swipe or two away when reading e-books, while print books provide no such access to the internet.Tablets and e-readers employ the he same notification system as smartphones, so readers who insist on going the digital route can turn those notifications off before cuddling up with a good book. But that might not be enough, as readers can still visit the home screen of their devices and begin browsing the internet. Print books are ideal for those who want to read with as little device-related distractions as possible.
