As restrictions ease, pet owners must prepare to ease the blow of going back to work
Photo provided The Rev. Michael Lozano, bishop of the Northwest Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, presents a certificate from the ELCA and synod to the Rev. V. Theodore Benson, pastor at Lebanon Lutheran Church in Kanesholm. Benson is retiring after 65 years in ministry, and the Lebanon Lutheran Church congregation will disband in its 150th year.
Chew Barker relaxes in one of her favorite spots in the house before her pet parent goes out to run errands.
By CHRISTINE HOLTZ Animal shelters across the nation saw an increase in adoptions during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, with many individuals becoming first time pet owners. Now that restrictions are easing, many pet parents will be going back to work and their pets will be spending more time alone, which can lead to separation anxiety. The Era reached out to the McKean County SPCA to find some tips on how pet parents can better prepare their pets for this transition. Hannah Lawton, dog supervisor, said her best suggestion is to start working with your pets prior to going back to work. In order to give your pet confidence, she said to start leaving them alone for a little bit and gradually increasing the amount of time until you go back to work daily. When individuals were adopting during the pandemic, Lawton encouraged people to “treat the pets like you are still working,” to better prepare them for when they actually go back to work. “Encourage them to be independent,” she noted. In addition, on their website, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) recommended associating one’s departure with something positive. For mild separation anxiety, giving a pet a healthy, tasty treat may be the ticket. The ASPCA suggested giving pets a puzzle toy, such as a KONG, stuffed with a few healthy treats that will take awhile to finish before one leaves the house. Separation anxiety can lead to some unwanted behaviors, such as chewing, barking and urinating or defecating in inappropriate areas. Lawton said the most important notion to remember here is to “be patient” as “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” “If you catch them chew-
ing on a shoe, encourage them to chew on a chewy toy with a similar texture — exchange one negative for a positive,” she explained. Lawton also explained that positive reinforcement is much more useful when dealing with unwanted behaviors than negative reinforcement is, as negative reinforcement can lead to aggressive behaviors. “I often encourage crate training,” she said. “Some people treat it as punishment, and it should be a positive thing, not a negative.” When crate training, Lawton said the crate should be a “safe space” for the pet. “They get toys in there or they get treats in there,” she added. “You want to make it a positive place that they want to go, so when you leave them alone, they feel comfortable and safe.” The ASPCA also suggests giving pets “jobs” to do during the day that will exercise both their body and mind. For example, before leaving the house for the day, engage Fido in at least 30 minutes of activity. Play fetch, let them run off some steam in the backyard or as mentioned previously, give them a puzzle toy that will keep them busy for a while. For individuals still experiencing difficulties with their pet who need some advice, Lawton said the SPCA is happy to give advice and suggestions on basic things. In addition, it might be a good idea to rule out any health issues with your veterinarian or your vet may even want to suggest a medication to help with the anxiety. Lastly, there are several trainers available in the area to help individuals with separation anxiety and unwanted behaviors. “Just be patient — Especially if you’re adjusting to going back to work — it’s going to be an adjustment for anyone involved, so don’t give up,” concluded Lawton.
Pastor Benson celebrates final service at Lebanon Lutheran Church By RUTH BOGDAN
KANE — The congregation at Lebanon Lutheran Church in Kanesholm is disbanding after its longtime pastor held his final service there on Sunday. The Rev. V. Theodore Benson, 90, who has served as a parttime pastor at the church for 37 years and 8 months, is retiring from part-time ministry. Lebanon Lutheran Church is celebrating its 150th year this year. The Rev. Benson celebrated 65 years in ministry earlier this month, said Matt Benson, his son. He explained it’s common for pastors to continue serving the community as long as possible. “Most pastors never retire,” Matt Benson said. “The Rev. Michael Lozano, bishop of the Northwest Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, visited Lebanon Lutheran Church in Kanesholm June 21 to honor the congregation as it celebrates its 150th and final year,” said Matt Benson. Lozano honored Matt Benson’s father, too, presenting the pastor with a certificate of appreciation from the ELCA and the synod. The Rev. Benson talked about what will happen on the day of Lebanon Lutheran’s last service this coming Sunday. The church celebrated Eucharist, and Benson preached his last sermon. Soloist Jen Crowley, an 11th grade-student at Kane Area High School, sang, and Tabor Lutheran Church organist Sharon Vaughn played. After the service, there was to be a special congregational meeting to take care of a few loose ends. “The church functions more or less democratically by the action of the congregation, so we have some housekeeping things to take care of,” the pastor said. As to why the congregation is disbanding, he explained, “The congregation has dwindled, and there are not other clergy to step in and replace me.” The issue is one that other churches of many faiths are currently facing, he noted, and it’s not unusual to see one pastor serving multiple churches. That won’t be the end of the church building itself, as Lebanon Lutheran Church’s assets and building will be turned over to the Tabor
Lutheran Church in Kane. While Sunday services will no longer happen at Lebanon Lutheran, people may be able to request a wedding, funeral or other special service be held there. Benson is happy to be passing along a well-kept church. “Our stewardship of the building facility, both the church and the cemetery, has been excellent,” he said, explaining that they started several years ago doing one improvement project each year to keep the inside and outside of the building in good shape. Projects have included a handicap ramp — made out of curved concrete rather than wood — as well as new front doors that meet fire code standards. Even though the building was built in 1875, “It’s in excellent shape. We’re proud that we can turn over our building and assets that are up-to-date and in good shape,” said Benson. He talked of his career as well. “I was ordained to the ministry June 5, 1955, at Zion’s Lutheran Church in Erie, my home congregation, and with that I have served in the ministry for 65 years,” said Benson. He added, “I’m still young at age 90.” Benson started his service in ministry as assistant pastor of the First Lutheran Church in Warren. “At the same time, I was mission developer of a new congregation in Warren, St. John’s Lutheran Church,” he added. He served in Warren for 2 ½ years. Then, he spent 13 months at a church in Drakes Mills, near Edinboro. After that, he went to New Castle for 6 ½ years, serving at St. John’s Lutheran Church. It was from there that Benson moved to McKean County to serve at St. Matthew’s. He served for 30 years as pastor of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church from 1965 to 1995, retiring as a full-time pastor that year. It was well before his retirement from full-time service that he started serving at Lebanon Lutheran. The pastor there, Mallard Nelson, “would ask me to fill in for him when he went out of town. On the last Sunday of October of 1982, (Nelson) was stricken and he died later that day.” It was on the first Sunday in November 1982 that Benson
became pastor on a part-time basis at Lebanon Lutheran. He continued serving at St. Matthew’s, too. He saw changes at his churches over the years, too, such as a new parsonage under construction in Drakes Mills, the purchase of a new parsonage in New Castle. In Mount Jewett, men of the congregation served as contractors for and even cut stone for a new stone building. Stone masons were hired, too. “If you were there for Mass, you would see stained glass windows of the highest quality,” Benson added, noting that the images were based on the writings of St. Matthew. Among Benson’s projects at Lebanon Lutheran is a monthly newsletter. He finds it difficult to type on his laptop, so he types the four-sheet newsletter on his IBM Wheelwriter Typewriter, which has a keyboard that is “much more accessible” than the one on the computer. The sheets get folded in half to become a mailer. Readers of the newsletter might enjoy the playful section on Page 7 called “Holy (Unholy) Humor.” “I also have put out now a brief history of the life of the congregation, so that’s going to go in the mail if not this week next week,” he added. Benson said he plans to stay local, where he has property that has been in his family for generations. He explained that his greatgrandfather emigrated from Sweden and started a farm that sits west of Lantz Corners. His grandfather added another 50 acres. Then his mother’s sister and her husband lived there, and they left it to their son when they died. Their son wanted to sell the land, so Benson and his wife ended up with it. For 40 years prior the couple had lived in church parsonages. “Once we had the land, we knew a location on the land where we wanted to build a home,” said Benson. A friend sent them a clipping from Yankee magazine of Deltec Homes, and they got an information packet and visited the Deltec factory in Asheville, N.C. Impressed with the construction, they eventually sent in a deposit for a home. While the homes are described as round houses, he said his home is not perfectly round, but rather has 15 sides.

Simple ways to improve a kitchen pantry
People have been spending more time at home in 2020 than in years past, and certain projects around the house have become a priority. One home improvement idea that serves the double benefit of creating organization and making cooking at home more efficient is to reimagine the kitchen pantry. A pantry is a room or closet where food, beverages and linens or dishes are stored. Pantries can be highly useful spaces that provide ancillary storage in kitchens. Many modern homes are equipped with pantries, but older homes may require some modification to create more useful pantries. Whether
starting from scratch or modifying an existing pantry, these tips can help projects go more smoothly. • Maximize vertical storage. Utilizing vertical areas can help increase storage capacity. Build in extra nooks by investing in undershelf
needs. Figure out which items you would like to store in the pantry and then shop for corresponding storage systems. For example, storage solutions may feature wine bottle racks, baskets for potatoes and other produce, shelving for small appliances, and even pull out racks for baking pans or cutting boards. • Use clear storage. Put ingredients in clear, airtight containers of similar dimensions so that you can easily find items you need. Transfer bulky items, like cereals and baking supplies, to storage containers for uniformity. • Store bulk items elsewhere. Bulk shop-
storage baskets. These baskets can instantly create designated areas for different types of ingredients. Homeowners also can look for ways to use the inside of cabinet doors or add extra shelves on walls or in eaves. • Consider your
Get ahead of chimney repair this season
Woodburning fireplaces or fuel stoves can add warmth and ambiance to a home. These appliances are particularly coveted in the cooler months when people spend more time indoors. Maintenance is necessary in order for fireplaces and stoves to function safely, and that upkeep must include paying close attention to the functionality of the chimney. Chimneys are designed to last for decades. Cracks and spalling in brick chimneys are common concerns that can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Chimney maintenance involves more than cleaning the flue. Rather than running the risk of costly repairs, which can cost several thousand dollars, homeowners can take some simple steps to keep their chimneys in tip-top shape. Certain components of chimney maintenance are doit-yourself tasks, while others may be better left to the professionals. • Start from the inside
and ensure that dampers are working properly. When using fireplaces and other appliances, dampers need to be open to allow smoke to vent outside; otherwise, smoke will be trapped in the home and could lead to carbon monoxide buildup. Dampers need to be fixed or replaced if they are not operational. Replacement fireplace dampers should be snug and not have any gaps, states Vertical Chimney Care. • Conduct a visual inspection of the chimney to check for any cracks or spalling. Spalling is the wearing away of masonry due to water, weather and time. If enough of the material erodes, that erosion can adversely affect the structural integrity of the chimney. Some repairs can be made by patching up cracks or replacing missing bricks. Chimney tuckpointing is the process of repairing mortar. • Think about waterproofing the chimney to prevent damage. A water sealant applied to the outside of the chimney can prevent moisture
from breaking down the masonry. • Inspect and replace the chimney cap if it is worn out. A chimney cap is a contraption that sits atop the chimney to allow the smoke to vent while also preventing critters and water from going inside the flue, helping to extend the flue life. The chimney cap attaches to the flue liner, so outside dimensions should be taken to ensure the cap is the right size for the chimney. • Have the chimney swept. Sweeping helps remove the soot and debris that clings to the inside of the flue, known as creosote. The amount of time the fireplace is used will determine how often the chimney must be cleaned. Generally speaking, the chimney liner needs to be
cleaned if it has 1⁄8-inch or more of soot. Regular inspection and maintenance can help keep a chimney working safely for decades. For those who do not like working at such an elevation, leave exterior chimney repair to a certified professional.
ping can be cost-efficient, but bulk items can quickly eat up real estate in the pantry. Designate another area for non-perishable bulk products, like paper goods or canned items, such as in a garage or utility room. • Pull out drawers are convenient. Pull-out drawers can reduce the need to seek and reach for items. These drawers conveniently roll out so items in the back can be accessed without disturbing foods in the front. Drawers can be custom built for any pantry space. • Make it accessible. Think about who will be taking items from the pantry. Put children’s snacks on the bottom pantry shelf
where they can reach them, and then organize other shelves for adults in the home. A pantry remodel can add valuable storage space and make one of the busiest rooms in the house operate more efficiently.

The arrival of warm weather provides more opportunities to gather and celebrate. From national holidays to impromptu backyard barbecues, the opportunity to kick back and relax is a hallmark of summer. Fireworks also figure prominently in summer.

Practice fireworks safety this summer with grave results. In 2017, hospital emergency rooms in the United States treated an estimated 12,900 people for fireworksrelated injuries. Of those injuries, 54 percent were to the extremities and 36 percent were head injuries. Children under the age of 15 accounted for more than one-third of those injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. The risk for serious injury is significant
anytime fireworks are handled. That is why individuals need to be especially careful when handling fireworks. Keep children away Never allow young children to ignite or play with fireworks. Even sparklers can be dangerous. Experts say sparklers burn at temperatures between 1800 F and 3000 F, which is hot enough to melt metal. Most people wouldn’t let children touch a stove set to 350 F, so they must exercise

Some fireworks considered “duds” can unexpectedly reignite, even after being moved. Exercise caution Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby in case of fire or to douse used fireworks before discarding them. When setting off fireworks, never point or throw fireworks at another person. Individuals should keep a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks. When shopping for fireworks, buy them only from reputable sources and avoid fireworks packaged in plain brown wrapping, which is normally indicative of
fireworks designed for professional displays and not home use.

auto dealerships in which member dealerships pay to obtain buyers’ contact information. That’s important information to know for buyers who want to buy a car online so they can cut out the “middleman” (i.e., dealerships). • No surprises: Some online auto dealers promise delivery of the car. That can seem especially convenient, but it’s always in buyers’ best interest to test drive cars before buying them. That’s not always possible when buying vehicles online. While buyers may be able to return cars purchased online after they have been delivered, that can be inconvenient, negating what many feel is the single biggest benefit to buying a car online. When buying cars they have already driven
in person, buyers won’t be surprised when getting behind the wheel. • Savings: Online dealerships may market themselves as more buyer-friendly than traditional dealerships, but such claims should be taken with a grain of salt. Many can only afford to purchase new vehicles if they get a good deal on an existing trade-in. By visiting dealerships in person, buyers can negotiate a higher trade-in value than they might be able to get online. In addition, when shopping for new cars, many buyers return to the same dealership where they purchased previous automobiles. An existing relationship with a dealer might make buyers eligible for discounts
they’re unlikely to earn when buying cars online. • Convenience: Online auto dealerships often cite convenience as one of the biggest feathers in their caps. But it can be more convenient, and considerably less time-consuming, for buyers to simply walk into a dealership and ask to test drive various vehicles. Buyers who visit dealerships can test drive various vehicles in a single morning or afternoon, while those who stick to buying online may have to drive far and wide to drive more than one car in a single day. The tradition of buying cars in person can still pay dividends for buyers accustomed to buying things online.

Fund started to benefit trail Causer joins House leadership as policy committee chairman association
The McKean County Community Foundation has announced the establishment of a new designated fund to benefit the Tuna Valley Trail Association. A designated fund allows the donor to name a particular charity or field of interest to benefit from the fund in perpetuity. The Foundation provides oversight to ensure that the gift is used exactly as the donor intended. Recently, a generous donor established a fund to help provide the TVTA with funding to be used for annual maintenance and upkeep of the trails. At this time, the trails are very busy. The trails provide a safe place for families and individuals to get outdoors, exercise and enjoy nature while keeping safe by following
mandated social distancing guidelines. Anyone who enjoys the trails and wants to support the TVTA can make a tax-deductible contribution directly to the TVTA Fund. This will generate income for the organization to help with the annual cost of maintenance materials such as crushed limestone, lumber, mowing equipment and asphalt needed to keep the trails in good condition or that can be invested to help the fund grow. “The goal of this fund is to grow it to a point where it would cover all of the annual costs of maintaining the entire TVTA trail system,” said Rick Esch, president of the board of the Tuna Valley Trail Association. “From this day forward and in perpetuity, trail enthusiasts will
benefit from the establishment of this very important fund for ongoing upkeep and development of the trails.” Gifts to the Tuna Valley Trail Association Fund can be made in any number of ways. For example, people can make a direct financial contribution; they can talk with their estate planner about a planned gift; or name the TVTA Fund as beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Memorials are accepted in honor or in memory of someone designated to the TVTA Fund, and an acknowledgment will be sent according to the donor’s direction. Interested parties are encouraged to contact the MCCF for more information either by calling (844) 238-2289 or e-mailing us at mccf@mckeancounty foundation.org

HARRISBURG — State Rep. Martin Causer, R-Turtlepoint, has been selected by his peers to join the House Republican Leadership team by serving as chairman of the House Majority Policy Committee for the remainder of the 2019-20 legislative session. He is the first member from McKean County to serve on the leadership team since Victor J. Westerberg of Kane, who served as minority policy committee chairman in the 1975-76 session. “I came to the state House to give our rural residents and communities a stronger voice at the state Capitol, and that will always be my top priority,” Causer said. “Joining the ranks of our leadership team puts me in an even better position to work with fellow lawmakers to address the many issues and challenges we are facing in the Northern Tier, as well as across the
Commonwealth.” The Majority Policy Committee is made up of all members of the Republican Caucus and is charged with helping to examine an array of issues identified as top priorities by lawmakers. The information gathered by the committee through hearings, informational meetings and on-site visits helps to drive the caucus’ policy agenda for the session. Causer has spent most of the last eight years in a leadership role for the House, serving as chairman of the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee since the 2015-16 session and prior to that as chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee in the 2013-14 session. The leadership position came open as a result of the retirement of former House Speaker Mike Turzai (R-Allegheny) earlier this month. Today,
the state House elected Rep. Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster), who had been serving as majority leader this session, to the role of speaker. Additional changes in the House Republican Caucus’ leadership ranks include Rep. Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin) as majority leader and Rep. Donna Oberlander (R-Clarion/Armstrong/ Forest) as majority whip. Appropriations Committee Chairman Stan Saylor (R-York) retains his position, as does Caucus Chair Marcy Toepel (R-Montgomery), Caucus Secretary Mike Reese (R-Westmoreland/ Somerset) and Caucus Administrator Kurt Masser (R-Northumberland/ Columbia/Montour). Causer has served as representative for the 67th Legislative District since 2003. For legislative updates, visit www. RepCauser.com and www. Facebook.com/RepCauser.
