Rabies Prevention: 5 tips to protect you and your dogs FAMILY FEATURES Around the world every year, an estimated 59,000 people die from rabies following a bite or scratch from an infected dog, according to the World Health Organization; almost half of them children under 15 years old. With preventive steps, including vaccination, you can protect your human and canine family members.

In large areas of the world, rabies continues to be a serious health issue. Of the estimated 900 million dogs

around the world, the majority (75-85%) are not household pets. In the countries where rabies is a continued threat and outbreaks continue, both owned and un-owned dogs may be at risk if they are not receiving rabies vaccinations.Learn more about this preventable disease and how you can stop its spread with these tips from the experts at MSD Animal Health’s Afya Program.

Know What Rabies Is and How It Gets Transmitted Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease (a disease that can be

passed from animals to humans) that causes fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, not only in wild animals but also domestic animals and humans. The rabies virus is transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite or scratch. In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for human rabies infections.

The time it takes to show symptoms of rabies depends on the distance the virus has to travel from the bite site to the brain. If someone gets

bitten on a toe, it could take weeks or even months to show symptoms, but if bitten on the face, he or she could become rabid in just a few days.

Once symptoms are present, the disease is 100% fatal.

Symptoms include anxiety, confusion, partial paralysis, agitation, aggression, hypersalivation, difficulty swallowing, fear of water and, eventually, paralysis, coma and death.

Ensure Your Dogs are Vaccinated Through vaccination of dogs, rabies is 100% preventable. You can do your

part by ensuring your dog stays current on its rabies vaccination, which is administered by a veterinarian in either one-year or three-year doses.

Get Prompt Medical Attention If someone has been bitten or scratched by a suspected rabid dog and may have been exposed to rabies, a vaccination can be part of the treatment. However, it’s important to immediately wash the wound for 15 minutes with soap and running water. This can help remove and inactivate any virus which

may have been inoculated.

The post-exposure vaccination course will depend on your prior vaccination history, so you’ll need to consult your doctor or visit the emergency room for immediate medical care.

Find more information about preventing and eliminating rabies at afya.org and help raise awareness by using #ForThemForUs and sharing photos and videos of rabies prevention and elimination efforts on social media.

Democrats' Redistricting continued from 1 neighboring districts.

Cattaraugus and Allegany counties are in the 23rd, which stretches from Chautauqua County in the west to Tioga County in the east and up into the Finger Lakes region.

Meanwhile, Republicans, who ultimately will have far less say in the matter, want to carve up the 19th District that runs through the Hudson Valley and into the Albany area currently held by Democratic Rep. Antonio Delgado.

Public hearings on redistricting are still planned across the state, but by early next year the new map for the state’s 26 congressional districts and 150 seats in the state Legislature could be set.

State Sen. George Borrello called the two maps proposed by Democrats and Republicans on the redistricting committee “concerning.”

“After decades of redistricting being dominated by partisan battles and gerrymandering, this year promised to be different,” he said in a statement Wednesday.

“A 2014 referendum passed by voters gave the oncea-decade responsibility for drawing legislative and congressional district maps to a new ‘Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC),’ with the goal of ensuring no region, special interest or political party gained an unfair advantage over another.”

Borrello said the two maps released Wednesday “suggests the very real possibility that the process will end up being controlled, once again, by the Legislature, where Democrats can use the behind-closed-doors gerrymandering process to strengthen their one party rule.”

The senator said Democrats have little incentive to compromise through the framework of the IRC. Democrats control the Senate, House and governor’s post and they want to eliminate a GOP seat as New York goes from 27 to 26 congressional seats due to small growth in the state’s population. Republicans hold eight of New York’s House seats going into the November 2022 elections, when the GOP hopes to take back control of the U.S. House.

It has been widely speculated that the 23rd would be targeted by Democrats, not least because Reed, due

Eliminated in this version is the 23rd Congressional District of the Southern Tier. to a woman’s accusations of inappropriate touching that surfaced in March, announced he would not seek reelection in the heavily Republican district.

Borrello has said he is interested in running for the seat, but only if it remains for the most part in its current makeup. The Democrats’ map would chop the district up into neighboring seats in the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse areas.

Reed, whose activity has been largely curtailed and his voice greatly muted since March, made no comment on the proposed redistricting maps Wednesday.

The commission members said they were unable to

agree on one set of maps, so Democrats and Republicans each issued their own versions.

Commission chairman David Imamura said, “In the spirit of transparency, we wanted the public to have both plans and get comments on both maps. If communities feel they are served in one map or the other, they should say so.”

Republicans, however, said Democrats are trying to skew the U.S. Census data that serve as the basis for the district lines to help Democrats capture more seats.

“Unfortunately, the commissioners appointed by the legislative majorities have ignored the oath of

office they signed and provided a set of maps that violate the redistricting rules as set forth in the United States Constitution as well as the New York State Constitution,” Republicans on the commission said in a statement.

The website for the bipartisan commission crashed Wednesday as it released the two maps. The New York Daily News reported users were unable to access the commission’s site or watch its deliberations for at least an hour after noon on Wednesday.

Elsewhere in New York, the Democrats’ map would effectively kill the reelection chances of Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, another

Republican, by adding a part of Brooklyn to her Staten Island-based district.

The Daily News reported it would also move the lines on Long Island to give the GOP just one out of four seats, instead of the current two.

BY JIM ECKSTROM A special youth-only pheasant hunting weekend will be held in Western New York Oct. 9-10, with pheasants stocked on public lands in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation said the youth-only hunt is scheduled one week prior to the regular pheasant hunting season and enables junior hunters ages 12-15 years old to hunt pheasants with a licensed adult companion.

The 2021-22 regular pheasant hunting season opens Oct. 16.

“The youth-only pheasant hunting weekend helps

Youth, regular pheasant hunting season coming up in WNY acclimate junior hunters to upland game bird hunting while fewer hunters are afield,” DEC Region 9 acting director Chad Staniszewski said. “This special hunt also provides a great opportunity for experienced hunters to share safe hunting practices and values with the next generation of hunters.”

Junior hunters must be accompanied by a licensed adult hunter during the youth pheasant hunt.

Accompanying adults are not allowed to possess a firearm or take a pheasant during this special season.

In Cattaraugus County, pheasants will be released in the Conewango Swamp Wildlife Management Area, Harwood Lake

Multiple Use Area, the Red House area in Allegany State Park (off Wolf Run and Upper Bay State roads) and the Allegheny Reservoir Wildlife Management Area off Onoville Road.

Hunters wanting to hunt pheasants in Allegany State Park are reminded they must pick up a free hunting permit at the administration building near Red House Lake before hunting in the park. Small game hunting is not allowed in Allegany State Park during the regular big game season from Nov. 20-Dec. 12.

In Allegany County, pheasants will be released in Keeney Swamp Wildlife Management Area of the town of Birdsall and

Hanging Bog WMA in New Hudson.

DEC will release approximately 4,900 adult ringnecked pheasants from its Reynolds Game Farm on WNY lands open to public hunting. A complete statewide list of pheasant release sites is available on DEC’s website.

A pheasant chick program provides pheasant hunting opportunities through a partnership between DEC, hunters, 4-H youth and landowners interested in rearing and releasing pheasants. Birds from this program are released before the season opens and disperse widely, presenting a greater challenge for experienced hunters.

Sustainable Eating for a Better Earth FAMILY FEATURES Although good nutrition is essential for human life, food production has a significant impact on the environment. Taking a more sustainable approach to sustaining your body can help protect the Earth and its climate.

Food production accounts for more than onefourth of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report compiled by “Our World in Data.” Learn how you can fill your plate with more earth-friendly foods by practicing these sustainable habits: Grow Your Own Food Gardening offers many benefits beyond the bounty of your harvest. Spending time outdoors in the sunshine is good for the soul while the foods you raise provide a convenient source of nutrition. Picking fresh produce from your backyard means you’re bypassing transportation, packaging and many of the other aspects of food production that are detrimental to the environment. What’s more, you get to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’re personally responsible for the food on your plate.

Reduce Food Waste An estimated 30-40% of the United States’ food supply goes to waste each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Not only could this food be helping hungry

people, it’s taking up valuable space. USDA data shows food waste is the single largest category of material in U.S. landfills.

There are numerous easy ways you can do your part to ensure food is being used wisely. Be sure food is stored properly to prevent it from going bad before you eat it. At the grocery store, select “ugly” foods that may be misshapen or look unusual but are still fully edible. Plan your meals so you use ingredients (across multiple meals, if necessary) and either avoid leftovers or repurpose them into another meal. Avoid overeating, which has a negative impact on your health, wastes food resources and increases environmental impacts from processing and transportation.

Buy Climate-Friendly Foods Choosing snacks that share your commitment to the climate can make a big difference. Not only does it help you feel better about the foods you eat, supporting brands that make the environment a priority can raise the bar for others. One example is Airly crackers, which are made with 100% wholesome oats and grains, and grown through a farming process that removes carbon dioxide from the air.

The company also invests in agricultural and forestry projects by purchasing carbon credits to offset its production and transportation

footprint.

The carbon footprint is on the back of each box, so you can see how many grams of carbon dioxide you are helping to remove from the air while satisfying a snack craving. Look for four flavor varieties packed with sweet and savory notes including cheddar, sea salt, chocolate and salted caramel.

Be Conscious of Processing and Packaging In general, foods with more packaging have a bigger impact on the environment. While some degree of packaging is necessary to safely preserve and transport food, choosing options with minimal recyclable packaging is a step you can take to help reduce how the food you eat affects the Earth.

Know Where it Comes From Locally produced foods travel a shorter distance, which means they require less handling and transportation. That’s good news for the environment and it’s a simple way to support your community, too. Knowing more about the sources of your food goes beyond eating local. You can also make purchases from brands that promote sustainable agriculture and take meaningful steps to protect the environment, animals and natural habitats.

Learn more about foods that make a difference at airlyfoods.com.

I T ’ S N OT J U S T W H AT YO U E AT When it comes ot food and sustainability, what you eat is only part of the equation. How you go about getting your food also affects the total impact of your food consumption on the environment.

Transportation: When most people think about the cost of transportation on the climate, they’re thinking about food production. However, your own transportation to and from the store adds up, too.

Plan your shopping trips responsibility so you’re making as few trips as possible.

Shopping bags: They may be recyclable, but

Environmental Protection Agency estimates only about 10% of plastic bags actually get recycled.

The majority of the rest end up in landfills. Consider using paper or investing in sturdy reusable bags instead.

Bulk purchases: Buying in bulk may help save money, but it’s also a way to cut down on frequent shopping trips and significantly reduce the packaging that results from smaller, individually wrapped items.

Photo provided Travis Radomski, Gregory Jacobs and Tage Soderlund are West ValleyDemonstration Project (WVDP) security police officers (SPO) who recently completed basic security police officer training.

WVDP partners with sheriff’s office for security training WEST VALLEY — The West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) recently conducted a graduation ceremony for three security police officers who completed a seven-week security training course through a firsttime partnership with the local sheriff’s office.

The officers, Travis Radomski, Gregory Jacobs and Tage Soderlund,would normally take the course at DOE’s National Training Center (NTC) in Albuquerque, N.M. However, there was no space available for them at the center’s basic security police officer training course this year due to a large number of new recruits from across

the DOE complex requiring training.

As a result, the WVDP management team — which consists of representatives from EM, its cleanup contractor CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV), and security subcontractor Paragon Energy — developed a plan for the officers to be trained by instructors from Paragon and the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office using facilities of the sheriff’s office.

The training plan was approved by the NTC. “We understand the importance and benefit of having trained emergency responders working at West

Valley,” said Bryan Bower, EM WVDP director. “As trained and qualified officers, they now have increased responsibilities to protect the health and safety of our workers and the public. We appreciate their continued commitment and dedication to integrity, vigilance, and helpfulness.”

The three officers who completed the course had previously worked as unarmed security officers at WVDP. The course included firearm qualifications, defensive tactics, use of force, first aid and combat casualty care, improvised explosive device and bomb training, vehicle stops, DOE tactical doctrine, physical

fitness and other required courses of study.

“Partnering with the WVDP on their security police officer training was an easy decision to make,” said Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb. “We have partnered with them before and welcome future opportunities to work together to protect the site, workers and the public.”

The sheriff’s office training coordinator, bomb squad technician and special response team helped conduct the training.

"We recognize and celebrate this continued partnership and its successes,” said Anthony Lechanski, acting security manager at

It is because of the dedicated efforts of this small group of individuals that I humbly say, ‘Thank you,’ and look forward to what will be accomplished in the future.”

Dave Schuman, CHBWV

safeguards and security manager, said it was important for the WVDP management team to recognize the graduates for completing the training, and to show their families gratitude for their efforts.

“This training pushed these recruits both mentally and physically, and we applaud them for their commitment and perseverance,” Schuman said.

Oil changes, tire rotations and even car washes may garner the bulk of drivers’ attention in regard to vehicle maintenance. But various smaller undertakings, including keeping vehicle interiors clean, are worthy of drivers’ attention as well.

Dust and dirt can accumulate in a vehicle over time, making for a less comfortable ride. Keeping vehicle interiors clean can make car and truck cabins more welcoming for drivers and their passen-

gers, and such maintenance is simple and inexpensive. · Focus on the floors. The floors in a car face all that weather has to offer. In winter, boots may track snow and deicing solutions like salt into a vehicle’s cabin. In summer, sand from the beach or dirt from hiking trails may find its way in. Some drivers use the same floor mats year-round, but there’s an advantage to switching based on the seasons. According to the automotive experts at Napa, fabric floor mats in summer will hold on to dirt and keep it from spreading. Beachgoers will appreciate that after tracking sand into their cars. In the winter, swap fabric floor mats with rubber or plastic alternatives, as these mats will hold melting snow, rain or salt, preventing them from staining the floors. · Be mindful of seating materials. When cleaning seats, drivers should be mindful of the materials those seats are made of. Cloth seats should be cleaned differently than leather and vinyl, and all seats should be vacuumed prior to cleaning. Consumer Reports notes that leather and vinyl seats are treated with a protective coating that requires gentle cleaning. Begin with a small cloth with a dab of dish or saddle soap, and then apply a leather conditioner to prevent the leather from drying out. When cleaning cloth seats, an upholstery cleaner can be applied to stains, just be sure to follow instructions carefully. Cleaning products are not all the same, and application techniques may vary. A scrub brush can be used to work cleaning solutions into the seats and any lingering moisture can then be wiped away with a microfiber cloth. · Clean the inside of your car windshield. Use an interior glass cleaner to clean the interior windshields and windows. These surfaces can accumulate a significant amount of dirt due to interior vapors and air pollution. Consumer Reports recommends using a glass cleaner that contains alcohol. Interior glass cleaners are designed to prevent streaking and film buildup, which can compromise drivers’ vision. · Take on touchscreens. Modern vehicles have touchscreens

that can quickly accumulate dust and fingerprints. Toyota recommends soaking a clean cloth in lukewarm water and lightly wiping the surface of touch screens. Avoid substances like solvents, alkaline or acidic solutions, which can contribute to staining or discoloration on the screen.

Clean car interiors can make driving that much more enjoyable and even more healthy.
