Remembering
Dedicated volunteers clean headstones at the Masonic Cemetary in west Albany.
by Karen Rogers May is Memorial Day month; when we remember and celebrate our past by bedecking cemeteries. The Masonic Cemetery at 700 Broadway St. S.W. in Albany is a hidden treasure. Established in 1866 by the Corinthian Lodge #17, it is one of the oldest in this area and is part of the Harvey Gordon Donation Land Claim Many prominent pioneers, politicians and other leaders are interred here. Delazon Smith, Oregon’s first U.S. Senator, and Rufus and Bessie Hale, long time owners of the Deluxe Shoeshine Parlor in downtown Albany, rest here. Masonic symbols are found throughout the area and the consolidated St. Johns’ Lodge #17 maintains the upkeep. A dedicated group of local volunteers headed up by Kay Burt and Kathy Griffiths have made a great effort to clean, repair and document markers and have installed an informational sign that gives a brief history. On Saturday, May2 from 9AM to noon you are invited to a work party where you can learn to clean a historical marker. Other work parties are Saturday June 13, July 11, and September 12 from 9 to noon. On Memorial Day weekend, the 24 and 25 of May, there will be an informational tent set up. On July 23, a History Through Headstones tour will be given by the Albany Regional Museum. This is a fun and fascinating event! For more information, contact jkgrif@ comcast.net 541-967-1941.
Volunteer leaders Kay Burt (L), John Strong (representing the Masonic Lodge) and Kathy Griffiths (R) display the new interpretive sign in the historic Albany cemetary.
The old Scroggin’s Mill building sits ready for restoration.
Preserving Lebanon’s History
From the outside, it may look like a huge dilapidated wooden building that may be beyond salvage, but that was before the Scroggin’s Mill Heritage Group came along. Now the old mill building and the surrounding grounds are slated to become a refurbished historic site, a museum and surrounding park suitable for hosting all kinds of events from weddings to nighttime movie gatherings during the summer months. The group is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to restoring the mill building while preserving its historic features including signage, and even some of the equipment still in the building. Scroggin’s Mill sits on the property adjacent to the newly refurbished Santiam Railroad Station on Sherman St, east of Main in Lebanon. The railroad station was built in 1880 and the original mill building was erected the following year. The mill was used over the years to process grain and feed, and was even used as a turkey processing plant in the 1930s, putting out as many as 2,000 birds per day.
Two old railroad refrigeration cars were permanently installed inside an addition in the building to store the processed turkeys. The building itself was saved from a massive fire that destroyed the adjacent Lebanon Bag Company building in 1972, and the mill continued to operate as a feed and seed store until eventually closing. During the ensuing years, the building fell into disrepair until the formation of the non-profit group bent on bringing the historic building back to life as a showplace for the benefit of mid-valley residents. The group is now planning a full slate of fund raising events for this summer, and are always seeking volunteers who want to help work on the mill building and grounds. The next major fundraiser will be held on May 23rd at the Santiam Place Event Hall in Lebanon, and will feature a Spaghetti Feed with all the trimmings, as well as a silent auction. Tickets will be $10 per person with all proceeds from the dinner and auction going to help with the Scroggin’s Mill restoration. For tickets and other information about the project, call: 541-258-3237. You can also get more information at their website: www.scrogginsmill.org.
Future plans call for a park on the mill site.

Spring Practice
Has the lovely spring weather inspired you to do a thorough house cleaning? Don’t forget the medicine cabinet! It is tempting to hang onto remnants of medications we are not currently taking. A nagging inner voice is certain we will have need of them in the future, so we establish a mini-pharmacy in our home. While it seems prudent, there are a few pitfalls to be considered. Are the drugs past their expiration date? Some drugs gradually lose their potency, while others actually deteriorate into harmful compounds over time. The home environment is not optimal for long term drug storage, particularly if medications are stored in the bathroom or kitchen. Outdated? Out it goes! Have you kept a few antibiotics to be used in case you “come down with something?” The indiscriminate use of antibiotics contributes to an organism’s ability to develop resistance to treatment, and may also make it more difficult for your doctor to diagnose the cause of your illness. Additionally, repeated exposure to antibiotics increases the likelihood you may become allergic to them. If you have a stockpile of antibiotics, please pitch them! People often stop by the pharmacy counter to ask if we can identify tablets
or capsules that are no longer in a labeled container. Sometimes a labeled container is presented, for which a person wants to know why the drug was prescribed. If you Pamela Becker, RpH don’t know what the medication is, or why Rice’s it was prescribed; it no Pharmacy longer belongs in your & Gifts home! Do you have a A “Pill Box collection of strong Pharmacy” pain medications? Perhaps something that was prescribed after an injury, surgery, or treatment? Drugs of this type can cause serious complications and even death if taken improperly. These drugs may also be an attractive nuisance. Since they are coveted by addicts; pain medications are frequently pilfered from medicine cabinets to be consumed or sold on the street. Don’t be an unwitting illicit drug supplier; clean house! Now, how can we safely dispose of unwanted drugs? Please do not flush them down the toilet or wash them down a sink drain. These items are not cleared by water treatment plants and will end up in the water supply! Ask your pharmacy if they have a drug disposal program. (Rice’s has one!) Some restrictions apply; all drugs must be in original labeled containers. Loose tablets and capsules can be dispersed in refuse (i.e. kitty litter, meat trimmings, etc) then sealed in a bag and placed in your trashcan.

Don’t React to Pain, Prevent It!
Earth
As undesirable as pain is, the various sensations of pain are messages our bodies try to communicate to us. Whether pain comes from a single traumatic event like a slip, or repeated overuse in a bad position like desk work with head held forward, the nervous system responds. This response is usually not in a positive way! When a door is securely on hinges and placed into a doorway properly, it opens and closes fully and moves almost effortlessly. Over time due to usage, this door will not stay perfectly aligned with the doorway nor on the hinges equally. The door will still open and close, but it may not open all the way and may not be effortless to open either. Eventually that door may even make loud noises upon opening or closing. A similar progression can happen with joints in the body as well, especially the joints of the spine. Lifting while using the back and not the knees, sitting at a computer with head and shoulders creeping forward, and slouching into a comfy couch all contribute to the same problematic pattern. When the joints of the spine are in great alignment, the weight above that area will mostly be supported by the structural part of the spine, like building blocks. Absence of this good alignment can cause extra friction (wear-and-tear) and also cause

It is Chiropractic within our power to minimize these bad Clinic 541-928-1010 postural habits that cascade into pain in the lower back, neck, and sometimes will progress to cause constant headaches and even traveling leg pain, known as sciatica. How would someone know if they have a posture related pain? The best way to tell is by having a health care professional such as a chiropractor, physical therapist, or occupational therapist examine the problem areas. Sometimes something as simple as changing a sleeping position or pillow, avoiding holding a phone to the ear with the shoulder, or scooting all the way back in a chair when sitting can dramatically reduce pain over time. Treatment like chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and stretching or strengthening exercises can all play positive roles in recovery from many painful ailments. “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest the patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Thomas Edison

Do You Need Health Insurance? Whitening for your smile Do you qualify for a Special Enrollment Event? Recently, on February 20th, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) updated and modified the Special Election Periods for individuals that need health insurance. If the individuals meet these events due to their own personal issues, then they are able to enroll in a health insurance plan. Why is this information important? The enrollment period for enrolling in health insurance through the Federal Marketplace has ended. You are not able to obtain health insurance until the next enrollment period. I will briefly provide the new updated and modified list below: 1) Some individuals or families have a plan either through employer or individual plan through insurance carrier and it is expiring before the next enrollment period (November 1st 2015). If this is the case for individuals or families, then they can apply. 2) If anyone loses a dependent or lose dependent status resulting in a change of their family structure, this individual will be able to pick a new plan that better matches their household’s new/changed needs. 3) If a female finds out she is pregnant and is uninsured, that individual will be able to enroll in a plan through the Federal Marketplace. Depending on the income of the individual, that person may qualify for
Oregon Health Plan. 4) If an individual filed their 2014 taxes and found they owe a penalty for not having health insurance in 2014, there is a new “one-time 2015 SEP.” They can Donna R. work with an insurance Green Agent or contact the Northwest Federal Marketplace and financial be allowed to enroll in a Services health plan through the 541-757-7701 Federal Marketplace. 5) If an individual is moving to a new area, then that individual is able to enroll in a plan before they move so there will not be a gap in coverage. They can report an upcoming move up to 60 days in advance. This will also apply to people who are released from incarceration. This new regulation will not take effect until 2017, yet State exchanges are permitted to implement this Special Election Period earlier if they wish. 6) If a parent is required to purchase health insurance as part of a child support agreement, the exchange will make coverage effective date the court order is effective in order to prevent gaps in health insurance coverage. There are more Special Election Period qualifications that you may qualify for. Please call either Lisa Burrows or Donna Green at 541-757-7701 if you have any questions regarding individual/family health insurance.

When the weather becomes warmer, we start wearing white. But what about your teeth; are they as white as they can be? Teeth are porous, which means tea, coffee, some antibiotics, tobacco, red wine, and dark foods can all affect their color. If you want a brighter smile, there’s never been a better time to make a change. • The most accessible type of whitening is the take-home variety. This process involves a thorough exam, impressions of your teeth and then creating a set of plastic trays. The trays are made of soft, flexible and comfortable plastic which make them easy to wear. Before inserting the trays, fill them with the whitening material (usually a carbamide peroxide mixture). Your dentist will provide specific instructions for length of wear and frequency to get your desired result. • Opalescence Boost™ is another option clinically proven to whiten natural teeth, by lighting internal discoloration caused by medication or tooth trauma as well as superficial stains

from food, drinks and smoking. Its unique, chemically activated formula whitens teeth without heat or ultraviolet rays of a light. It also contains potassium nitrate and fluoride, which help to improve oral health by strengthening enamel, decreasing sensitivity, and preventing cavities. This in-office procedure is safe and effective, and offers a brighter, whiter smile after just one appointment. • Over-the-counter products, like Crest Whitestrips® and paint-on solutions, are less effective but do work. The “professional strength” version of Crest® and other brands - available in dentist’s offices - have stronger, more potent bleaching agents, so results will be faster.

What time is it, anyway? For most of us, time has become our slave master. I remember back when I was a kid, I rarely looked at the clock unless I was in school. Then, I was wishing it would go faster.

PART 1: Although many investors who get their start in the single family realm never aspire to bigger and better things for various and personal reasons, there are those for whom eventually dealing with larger properties seems like a natural progression for their business practice to take. If you are one of those entrepreneurs, you shouldn’t let the fear of the process of purchasing multifamily and commercial properties hold you back from stepping up to the new challenge when you are ready. This is simply a different realm of investing, meaning a slightly different game to play, but one that is in many ways no more complicated or risky than the single family game, and which is definitely more rewarding in terms of the profits produced versus the time spent. With a little patience and investment of time spent studying, the rules of the commercial real estate game are surely within your grasp.

The Pregnancy Alternative Center of Lebanon, known as PAC, exists to help women and children change lives and build families. PAC was founded in October, 1989, and offers services that are free and confidential. They also provide medical and educational services to equip individuals to make healthy choices related to pregnancy, relationships, and parenting. The PAC medical clinic is accredited through the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Clinics. Their mission is to educate and empower women and men involved in an unplanned pregnancy. They specialize in pregnancy diagnosis by providing medical and psycho-social services to equip patients in making healthy choices related to pregnancy. The goal of the resource center is to build strong families by developing relationships, encouraging and mentoring individuals, and to provide education and material
assistance to help them successfully parent their children. As a non-profit organization, they have the privilege of partnering with many individuals in the community to provide these free services.

Life
“In the Midst of Unraveling”
Going
Have you ever been frustrated when you have spent significant time, time you did not have, winding up thread on a bobbin only to have it unwind? Perhaps you have experienced the unraveling of the Weed Wacker line on the spindle and decided that cutting the grass can wait. Our lives are similar and often unravel or unwind at the most inconvenient times. We are way too busy with events, meetings, and life in general to deal with more anxiety, frustration, and stress. YET, in the midst of unraveling is often when God moves in our lives to deepen our dependence in Him. Do we seek God when life becomes difficult? Do we allow God to work intimately in our hearts as we face impossible odds? Donald Miller writes a book called “Scary Close” that I highly recommend. We often put on a smile or a good face when battling challenges in life. Donald gets to the heart of our story and suggests intimacy from God often intersects in our everyday unraveling. His tag line on the front cover of the book says it all: “Dropping the act and finding true intimacy.” In the past several weeks, God has reminded me that He is in control and I can trust Him as my family faced the loss of my grandmother.

God Willamette reminded me that these situations can Valley bring opportunity Christian to share His unconditional Supply love with others. I believe we don’t have to put on an act or try to have it all together. Rather, we can be honest, transparent, and even vulnerable with our family and friends. Some of you may be facing the loss of a job, division in a beloved relationship, or the stress of overwhelming deadlines. God desires to work in your life and offers lessons for you and me to learn that can shape our lives and encourage others. As you’re unraveling and life seems out of control, know that God is the great Sustainer and holds all things together. “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world.

Memories
Spy “Camp”
I’ve always been a fan of the James Bond spy novels, and it’s interesting to see how much the characters have changed during the fifty years of their run. Written in the 1950s and ‘60s, Ian Fleming’s series is definitely a product of its time, with Mr. Bond being quite the man’s man. The success of the novels spawned an entire industry of short spy thrillers; an industry that became increasingly “campy” as time went on. One of its best imitators, interestingly enough, has a female protagonist, Modesty Blaise. The Modesty Blaise series started out as a comic strip, then quickly became a hot-selling paperback, eventually reaching eleven novels and three short story anthologies. Modesty had a rough childhood, and soon turned to crime. After a successful career as a criminal, she retired young. In the first book, she is contacted by the British Secret Service to prevent the theft of $10 million in diamonds. Fast-paced, this is one of the best of the 1960s spy pulps. Others worth reading include The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (and its companion The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.) This, some readers may remember, was
Reviews
a television show for several years, and although humorous, wasn’t quite as goof-ball as Get Smart. The books, written by various Scott authors, are generally Givens, a fun read. Browsers One of the authors Bookstores, of U.N.C.L.E., and fellow Michael Avallone, reviewer, also helped pen daughter, many of the books Amanda in America’s answer Givens to James Bond, Nick Carter (but don’t look for these shelved under “Avallone,” because the series uses Nick Carter as the author’s name). The Nick Carter series had an amazing run of 261 novels in 26 years. Many modern spy novels often have a somber side to them, as the authors are portraying their spies as more believable characters than the early spy books. In the same way that the new James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, is able to give the character a conscience and some compassion (yet still remaining tough and smart), modern authors such as Daniel Silva and Olen Steinhauer are giving their characters a little more soul than the series spies of the ‘60s. Be that as it may, what the old spies lack in emotional depth, they make up for in a roller-coaster of a book: short, fast, fun.
Collecting Movies as a Hobby We all have movies we remember from years gone by. Whether they were movies we saw in a theater or on a TV screen, there is something about some fondly remembered films we can’t quite get out of our mind. I remember as a kid, long before there were video tapes and DVDs, collecting short 8-millimeter versions of some of the great science fiction and monster movies. These were generally only about eight or nine minutes long but they were the only way for a young collector to own their own copy of their favorite guilty pleasure. Then many years later came video tapes, VHS and Beta, which have now been replaced by DVDs and Blu-Ray, as well as instant streaming of just about any movie still in existence. Now you can personally own a copy of nearly any movie you want in its entirety, complete with trailers and documentaries about the film and its stars. When video tapes first came out, they were very expensive. Most people went to rental stores where they could rent the movies they wanted as well as a machine to play them on. It wasn’t long before the price started to come down, and
Complete Business Solutions
almost everyone owned at least one video tape player and a few favorite movies. Then came DVDs, and you know the rest. That brings me to the subject of the hobby of collecting Rick favorite movies. Rogers Most DVDs Movies are relatively and DVDs inexpensive. However, the real bargain comes for those of us who might still have a video tape player or two hanging around. Most thrift and second hand stores have shelves upon shelves of used VHS tapes containing some of the greatest movies ever made, as well as some of the most obscure films. Check out the huge selections in stores such as Goodwill, St. Vinnie’s, Helping Hands, and others. Most offer VHS tapes for as little as a dollar or two each. This is a great way for those on a budget to build a fantastic movie library. My suggestion is to check out the tape before you buy it by pushing the button on the side of the cassette and raising the flap so see if the tape appears mangled, broken or if the cassette itself is obviously defective. Even if you get it home and it has a problem, you are only out a dollar or two. It’s a great way to start a very affordable movie collection. Enjoy the show!

Health The Pros and Cons of Going Batty!
In the pest control and wildlife industry, we receive many calls a year from folks with questions and concerns regarding bats. Spring is certainly a relevant time to clear the air on bat behavior and the regulations surrounding what we can and cannot do involving bats. It has been my experience that when the topic of bats comes up, most folks are basically uncomfortable and not big fans of this little “winged hand” mammal. Some even have very descriptive stories told with a horrified look on their faces of when they found a bat in their… (you fill in the blank!) In my parents’ case, it was the time they had guests from California staying with them here in Oregon, and much to their chagrin, found a bat in the toilet in the middle of the night! A very untimely surprise. One of my personal favorites was a time when I was working in Southern California and a frantic homeowner had switched the light on in the bedroom to find a ceiling covered in little California Brown Bats... a bit like a scene out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie! We spent the next six hours wrangling 150 or so bats which we, of course, found extremely amusing and the homeowner did not. BUT the good news is that although there are fifteen species of bats found in Oregon (forty in the United States), most bats typically roost in caves, hollow trees and other natural
structures and very a few commonly roost and breed in occupied man-made structures and even fewer will ever really interfere with the spaces that you and I live in. Bats leave their Sean overwintering sites Meiner and enter structures Healthy during the first warm days of spring with Home Pest Control, LLC the majority being females preparing (541) 570-0095 to give birth. Most bats produce only one young per female which are born during June and July and remain in their roosts all summer. In most states, bats have a protected status, so although exclusion or ‘bat proofing’ a structure is the logical and biologically acceptable way to control bats, it is critical to understand and respect the LAWS, timing, biology, and behavior of bats when considering these practices. Our most common experiences with bats is when, on occasion, a bat enters a dwelling accidentally through an open window, door or a small opening in a screen. In this case, leave windows and/or doors open and usually, the disoriented bat will find its way back outdoors by following air movements. Most importantly because of rabies concerns, NEVER HANDLE BATS and make sure that your pets are up to date on their vaccines. Bats are truly a unique and interesting critter, and with safety measures and smart business practices, we can sit back and enjoy their important role in our environment.

It’s Prime-time for Gardening
Business
This month marks prime time for gardening! If you haven’t already (and many have because of the early warm weather), you are most likely able to get garden plants started for this year. If you like jump-starting your veggies, you can buy starts that are already off to good growth. Wilco carries many varieties of the staples such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers (sweet and hot), squash, onions, pumpkins, and so much more. They have organics too. I enjoy using starts, because it once they are in the ground, I’ve reduced time to harvest by at least a couple of weeks, and using starts gets your growing plants past the initial new-shoot pest problems without having to spray anything. The roses in my area (Albany) have started budding, and a few blooming already. And with the warm weather, so come the aphids. It’s great to attack these pests with natural remedies like ladybugs, lacewings or praying mantis. Wilco carries them in easy to buy and disperse packages- and since these pest-carnivores go where there is food, you’ll benefit the whole neighborhood once your plants are free of aphids. Get your sprayer ready! Now is the time to get a small 1 or 2 gallon sprayer

Here’s an example of how to mix: In your sprayer (clean and not used for herbicides- label it), mix 5 tablespoons of pure soap (such as Castile, or all-natural- The active ingredient in insecticidal soap comes from fatty acids in animal fat or vegetable oil, so it’s important to use the real thing) with 1 gallon of water (This makes a 2% solution). There are many variations to this that you can customize too! For instance, if you are targeting powdery mildew, mix in a teaspoon of cider vinegar per gallon of water. To help the solution stick a bit longer, add two tablespoons of corn, canola, olive or safflower oil to the mix (per gallon). Most of all, as things get going and your plants start growing, have fun!

Driving Your Business Without Direction Do you have an operating budget for your business? Maybe you aren’t quite sure why, as a small business, you need one or just what an operating budget is; or maybe you need to brush up on your budgeting skills in general. Would you ever get in a car and drive somewhere you had never been without knowing where to go, or having some kind of directions? It’s not likely unless you wanted to end up stranded and out of gas. An operating budget is simply directions for your business that will help you stay in business and gives you a strong financial foundation. As a business owner, an operating budget is an important tool in helping you manage your business. An operating budget helps you see into the future. It can guide decision making, allowing a business owner to know if they need to cut costs or if they should prepare for growth. It is a major asset in the planning process for the foreseeable future as well as an excellent tool for business owners to use when requesting an operating loan

Have you found that you made an error on your federal tax return? If so, you may need to file an amended return. Here are ten tips that can help you file. 1. Tax form to amend your return. Use Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct your tax return. You must file a paper Form 1040X; it can’t be e-filed. You can get the form on IRS.gov/ forms at any time. See the Form 1040X instructions for the address where you should mail your form. 2. Amend to correct errors. You should file an amended tax return to correct errors or make changes to your original tax return. For example, you should amend to change your filing status, or to correct your income, deductions or credits. 3. Don’t amend for math errors, missing forms. You normally don’t need to file an amended return to correct math errors. The IRS will automatically correct those for you. Also, do not file an amended return if you forgot to attach tax forms, such as a Form W-2 or a schedule. The IRS will mail you a request for them in most cases. 4. Most taxpayers don’t need to amend to correct Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, errors. Eligible taxpayers who filed a 2014 tax return and claimed a premium tax credit using incorrect information from either the federally-facilitated or a

Time limit to 541.926.7982 claim a refund. You usually have three years from the date you filed your original tax return to file Form 1040X to claim a refund. You can file it within two years from the date you paid the tax, if that date is later. That means the last day for most people to file a 2011 claim for a refund is April 15, 2015. See the Form 1040X instructions for special rules that apply to some claims. 6. Separate forms for each year. If you are amending more than one tax return, prepare a 1040X for each year. You should mail each year in separate envelopes. Note the tax year of the return you are amending at the top of Form 1040X. Check the form’s instructions for where to mail your return. 7. Attach other forms with changes. If you use other IRS forms or schedules to make changes, make sure to attach them to your Form 1040X. 8. When to file for second refund.

Pay added tax as soon as you can. If you owe more tax, file your Form 1040X and pay the tax as soon as you can. This will stop added interest and penalties. Use IRS Direct Pay to pay your tax directly from your checking or savings account. 10. Track your amended return. You can track the status of your amended
tax return three weeks after you file with ‘Where’s My Amended Return?’ This tool is on IRS.gov or by phone at 866464-2050. It is available in English and in Spanish. The tool can track the status of an amended return for the current year and up to three years back.

If you have filed amended returns for multiple years, you can check each year one at a time.

De-Age your skin and more... An exciting new addition to the skin care clinic has arrived. I recently purchased a resurfacing infusion combination machine. I had heard of this procedure from a colleague, and had seen demos from the American Academy of Dermatology. I would definitely rate the treatment as highly worthwhile. Passes are made over your entire face with the treatment wand, in most cases the first is a dry pass and the second infusing a custom solution. I would describes the procedure as follows: the wand gently lifts the skin against the appropriate treatment tip, removing the topmost layer of skin. The system then gently vacuums away the dead skin in a precise and controlled manner. The skin is left smoother as action of the wand stimulates blood flow, cleans the pores and moves the skin debris to a HEPA filter. The increased blood flow to the skin’s surface encourages collagen formation thus firming and toning the epidermis as well. One of the custom solutions is used based upon your primary concern: moisturizing, anti-aging, anti-acne, antipigmentation, or combination conditions. For instance the anti-pigmentation combination is super to address even a sprinkling of pigmentation changes such as on the forehead. The azelaic acid, bearberry, lightening ingredients, including licorice based serum support lightening of pigmentation. The procedure

does not hurt and is not uncomfortable. The treatment can be described as feeling like a cat licking your face, which seems very accurate. Skin definitely feels and appears smoother after the procedure. Lindie M. I advise to stay out Truex, of the sun for the River’s Edge first couple of days Day Spa and be sure to wear 541-791-2800 sunscreen (apply sunscreen after the procedure is finished). Some minor redness after the procedure can be seen on some for a short period, but there really was no down time. It is recommended to begin with 6 treatments spaced 7-14 days apart be performed to reversed damage. Maintenance will be determined individually. This is a treatment that can be combined or rotated with other treatments. With the top layer of skin removed I doubled down on serums and hyperpigmentation treatments for the first few days post-treatment, knowing that their ability to sink in and do their work would be enhanced. Worth a try if you’re interested in an alternative to microdermabrasion with crystals or seriously improving your skin. I am thrilled to offer an introductory offer to my clients.

You might say God won’t sustain me because my unraveling is due to sin and poor choices in my life. God’s love is unconditional and His Son paid all those sins in full on the cross.

Fit Not Fat is Good for Your Pets Too
Cheer
By Eric Glaze Albany Animal Hospital
This month is National Pet Obesity Awareness Month. Here are a few facts that pet owners might want to know. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, fifty three percent of adult dogs and fifty five percent of adult cats are obese or overweight. When asked, twenty two percent of dog owners and fifteen percent of cat owners said their pet’s weight was normal when it was actually overweight or obese. This means that there is a perception on the part of many owners that their pets are of normal weight, when in fact they are too heavy. This new “normal” is often demonstrated when owners of healthy lean dogs are told by well-meaning friends and family members that they aren’t feeding their pets enough. Pets that are overweight or obese are more prone to a variety of health conditions. Medium to large breed dogs will often suffer from arthritis at a younger stage in life due to the excess load on their joints. We also see more ligament injuries in the knees of dogs who are overweight. Dogs that are prone to back injuries, like dachshunds, have a higher chance of rupturing their intervertebral discs when they are overweight. Dogs and cats that are overweight are also more prone to high blood pressure and kidney disease. Cats, like people, are more prone to developing type two diabetes. This is especially true for sedentary overweight house cats. Cats are

also more prone to develop a devastating disease known as fatty liver disease when they are overweight or obese. A well-known study known as the Purina Lifespan Study showed that obese dogs lived, on average, two years less than dogs with a lean body mass. The study also showed that dogs with an extra lean body mass lived, on average, ten percent longer. On a short coated dog, the last rib space becomes visible when they are extra lean. Dogs that have two or more rib spaces visible are too thin. To check if your dog or cat is too heavy, you should feel over their ribs. This is especially true for medium to long coated pets whose rib spaces are never visible. The ribs should be fairly easy to feel, with only a small amount of subcutaneous fat between the skin and rib bones. The waist should be easy to see when viewing your pet from above and the abdomen should be tucked in when viewed from the side. A veterinarian is trained to evaluate your pet’s body condition and assign a body condition score. Some veterinarians will use measurements known as morphometric to assign a more accurate score. They can then come up with strategies to help your pet lose weight or maintain an ideal body weight. This can be done through a variety of strategies. Obviously, feeding controlled amounts of food and increased exercise are key components to these strategies. There are also specially formulated diets that will allow you to feed less while satisfying all other nutritional requirements. Talk to your veterinarian if you are concerned about your pet’s weight.
Summer is just around the corner, and if you’re planning on traveling this summer and aren’t able to take your pet with you, finding a place for them to stay or someone to watch them while you’re away can be stressful. After all, pets are a part of our family and we want to be sure they’re in good hands. First, you’ll need to decide if a boarding kennel or a pet sitter who can stay in your home is right for you. If you think your pet would enjoy being around other animals and would be comfortable in a kennel environment, boarding your pet might be the best option. Ask people you know if they have any recommendations. Most kennel facilities will allow you to take a tour of their facility before you decide to board your pet with them. Once you make the decision to board, be sure to schedule your pet’s stay well in advance. Many facilities can book up quickly, especially over holidays. Your pet will need to pass a temperament test before their stay, and you’ll want to be sure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations.

Finding Care for Your Pet While You Travel
Manners
Bring your pet’s own food to a kennel. This may reduce the chance of diarrhea or upset stomach. You’ll also want to find out if you’re able to bring your toys, blankets, treats, or bedding for your pet. If your pet craves routine and the comforts of home, finding a pet sitter might be the best option. Ask family, friends, and your vet if they have recommendations. Meet with potential pet sitters and allow them to spend some time with your pet. Once you decide on a sitter, you’ll want to provide clear instructions, a schedule, and emergency contact information while you’re away.
