A research study for a potential new treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is looking for qualified people to enroll.
The START (Synaptic Therapy Alzheimer’s Research Trial) Study is testing an investigational treatment to see if it can safely slow memory loss from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It lasts about two years and you will be asked to make about 24 visits to the study site to see doctors who will closely monitor your health. By participating, you or your loved one could be an important part of finding new treatments for people with AD.
To qualify for the study, you or your loved one must:
Be between 50 and 85 years old.
Have a diagnosis of mild AD dementia, OR a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD, OR memory concerns noticed by another person.
Have a study partner who can come with you to some visits and take part in some testing.
There are more requirements to qualify for the START Study. The screening process includes testing. Someone on the study team can discuss the testing with you.
To learn more about the START Study, visit START-Study.org or call 1-833-START-33.

life without love is like a year without summer. ~Swedish Proverb
Grilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume.

&body mind
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old woman with a weight problem. My weight used to fluctuate from 130-160 pounds.Then I started to notice that I was losing weight slowly but surely on my regular diet. My doctor did not have an answer. Soon I got down to 95 pounds. My family urges me to eat more than I feel comfortable with. I weigh 104 pounds today.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this dramatic weight loss? I still struggle with keeping my weight up to 105 pounds! My height is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and I really am quite “bony.” Thank you for any help you can give me. -- A.S.
ANSWER: When we see dramatic weight loss like yours (greater than 5% to 10% is generally considered important, and yours is greater than 30%), we think about a few important categories. Of course, some of these aren’t appropriate for you, but I want to give you an idea of what goes through a doctor’s head when we see a person with this much weight loss:
Unfortunately, cancer tends to leap to our minds, even though it’s not the most common cause. A full-body scan isn’t usually indicated or helpful. Instead, a careful and focused history and physical exam will often give clues as to whether cancer is likely.
In addition, doctors want to make sure that the person is up-to-date with their age-appropriate screenings, which include breast and colon cancer screenings in a 75-year-old woman. In a person with a history of smoking, I always consider lung cancer and will usually order at least an X-ray.
A condition that is commonly forgotten when thinking about weight loss is the inability to absorb food properly, and celiac disease is the most common disease to cause this. Diarrhea is common but not always present with this condition.
People can lose calories through their kidneys as well, and diabetes is by far the most likely cause of this, although there are rare other causes. Excess urination is universal in uncontrolled diabetes but can be minimized by the patient. Endocrine disorders, especially hyperthyroidism, often cause weight loss. Mental health issues, especially depression, are very commonly associated with weight loss. Anorexia nervosa is uncommon but not impossible in older adults.
Any serious disease -- heart, lung, liver and others -- can also cause serious weight loss. Some medications can cause unexpected weight loss as well.
Chronic infections are another important cause of unexplained weight loss. Tuberculosis, HIV and viral hepatitis are the most common, but there are many uncommon and rare infections.
As adults get older, some degree of weight loss is expected, but it is the degree and speed of the weight loss that needs to be considered when deciding whether this is a serious medical issue. Since it sounds like your weight loss has come on quickly, this is more concerning but a bit less so since it seems like it has stabilized. Still, were you my patient, I’d recommend a more thorough evaluation than it sounds like you’ve had.
I learned a valuable lesson after I made a home visit to give a patient a thorough medical evaluation about her continued weight loss. I found that she had inadequate food at home and was too embarrassed to tell me.
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.

Lawns can be hearty, but they’re also highly susceptible to damage. Even seemingly harmless things can compromise the integrity of a lawn. Understanding the causes can help homeowners protect their lawns.
PLUMBING
Extend the living space: Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires.

DINING OUT WITH INFANTS
New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.
First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

Novices can begin by utilizing their smartphone cameras to take snapshots of local landscapes. Once the skill of pointing and clicking has been honed, amateur photogs can graduate to more expensive and precise cameras.

Co assionate Car Care
I was in a collision (safe and well, all repairable!), that really set me back and felt like a big hurdle to get through. A huge shout out to Kolb Family Automotive for taking so much stress away! Dan and the team stayed on top of everything and made it completely seamless. They answered my many questions with genuine respect and were incredibly kind–a complete shocker based on other car shop experiences I’ve had before. With kindness from day one, they truly reflected the personal touch of a family owned business. Thank you for being honest, professional, and quick to get me back on the road!
Leash your dogs!
At [local park] today, an off leash dog ran up to my dog and jumped up on me. Its owner yelled, “He’s friendly!” So what? You don’t know if MY dog is friendly or reactive. In public places, LEASH YOUR DOG. If you want your dog to run around off-leash, rent or build your own PRIVATE fenced in area. My dog was small, but next time your off leash dog approaches a less friendly, large dog, it could be really bad, violent, or even deadly. It’s common sense, be respectful of the park, and respectful of your community. You and your dog ain’t special. Next time I’m reporting you to the cop who was sitting across the street.
Appalling state of [local business] grounds
On a recent visit to [local business], I was very disturbed at the state of the outside of the building. Decorative trees that should be trimmed and shaped each year are overgrown. The trees are taller than the building and encroaching on each other to make it look like a jungle. Where shrubs were once planted to enhance the entrance way is now filled with only weeds and dried dirt. What would it take to have a company come in twice a year and trim trees and shrubs and do some clean up? The [local business] should be ashamed at the impression their patrons get when stopping in or driving past one of the most visited facilities in the [local town].

Summer Heat Safety
Before we know it, we’ll need to move into hot weather mode and take steps to stay healthy and safe in the heat.
For me, most important is keeping the house cool, since that’s where I spend most of my time. The air conditioning will be set at 76 to 78 degrees, depending on the humidity.
Very soon I’ll need to put up the insulated sun-blocking blackout drapes on the sunny side of the living room where the afternoon heat can bake the outside wall. Each morning I’ll close those drapes before the sun moves around to that side of the house.
Next on my daily list will be to fill my water bottles -- a half-dozen 8-ounce bottles that I can periodically grab during the day. With the little bottles, it’s easy to keep track of how much hydration I’m getting.
But we can’t always stay home. If you have to go out in the heat, wear light, loose clothing and a hat with a wide brim.
Ask your doctor to clarify what your water intake should be during the summer.
Keep an eye on the weather news so you’ll know what to expect.
Ask your town if they’ve set up any cooling centers, or head to the library or mall during the hottest part of the day.
Keep track of how you feel in the summer heat. If you have weakness, nausea, dizziness or headache, it could be heat exhaustion or even lead to heat stroke. Get help -- don’t delay.
If you’re afraid to run the air conditioner for fear it will increase your electric bill, see if you can get some financial help from LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) at 866674-6327. Churches and town halls are other possible sources of assistance.

DID YOU KNOW? Volunteering is a great way for individuals to strengthen their communities, but it also can be a unique way for individuals to improve their own overall happiness. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies examined 70,000 participants, each of whom received surveys that asked questions regarding their volunteering habits and mental health.The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings. The frequency of giving back to one’s community also may affect just how much volunteering affects mental health. Study participants who volunteered at least once per month rated their mental health even higher than those who volunteered but did so infrequently.

SUNY BROCKPORT’S FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS PROJECT
Honors the Legacy of a Pioneering Reformer
BY SUZIE WELLS
“She speaks of her time, but also it echoes to now.”
DR. MICHAEL J. KRAMER
When Associate Professor of History, Dr. Michael J. Kramer, arrived at SUNY Brockport in 2019, the Liberal Arts building was being renamed to honor SUNY Brockport (at the time Brockport Normal School)’s first African American graduate, Fannie Barrier Williams. He wondered who the honoree was, and that question sparked a vibrant academic movement on campus.
A freeborn woman of mixed racial ancestry born and raised in Brockport (57 Erie Street was her childhood home), Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944) led a life that intertwined advocacy, artistry, intellect, and reform during one of the most transformational periods in American history. Raised in a town in which she said, “there could not have been a relationship more cordial, respectful, and intimate than that of our family and the white people of this community,” but when she went south to teach, she experienced such segregation, discrimination, and physical assault that she said, “Everything I learned and experienced in my innocent social relationships in NY had to be unlearned.”
Williams spoke at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, broke barriersasthefirstAfricanAmericanadmittedtotheeliteChicago Women’s Club, and pushed for the rights of African American women, working-class communities, and all who struggled under racism and sexism in the Progressive Era. She helped found the National League of Colored Women, served as Vice President of the Illinois Woman’s Alliance (a predominantly white organization at the time), and Williams was “the only Black American to eulogize Susan B Anthony at the National American Woman Suffrage Association Convention.”
Inspired by this multifaceted, fascinatinglegacy,Kramerlaunched the Fannie Barrier Williams Project at SUNY Brockport to not only explore her story, but to make her voice resonate with students and the broader public today. What began as personal curiosity became a full-scale public history initiative that bridges coursework, community engagement, digital humanities, and interdepartmental collaboration.

Kramer says Williams “le a remarkable set of speeches and essays, so students (and I) were able to really listen directly to her voice coming down the years with perspectives on race relations, class relations in an industrializing America,religionandspirituality, education, art, and the place of women in society … She speaks of her time, but also it echoes to now.”
Reflecting on our nation’s current continued struggle with racism, sexism, inequality, and injustice, Kramer says, “Americans still are trying to figure out what it means to be free, how to advance as individuals and also, at the same time, create institutions and attitudes that help each other out in the world.” Williams “le something to say about her moment that also matters now,” Kramer adds.
Over 75 students have participated directly in the FBW Project through research seminars and independent studies, with many more encountering her story through displays, presentations, and outreach. Introduction to Public History and Fannie Barrier Williams Project courses offered unique opportunities for students to conduct research, analyze primary texts, and reimagine Williams’ legacy in today’s world.
One especially impactful moment came during a class visit to the Brockport Museum of Local History. Students saw firsthand the personal artifacts from Williams’ home—her organ, couch, and most remarkably, a misfiled scrapbook of her writings that had been unknowingly preserved for decades. e rediscovery of this scrapbook made history tangible and immediate for the students.
e FBW Project isn’t confined to the classroom. With support from the Mellon Foundation Digital Ethnic Futures TeachingConsortium,andcross-campuscollaborationswith Art, Social Work, African and African American Studies, and Women and Gender Studies, students have developed digital timelines, table tent cards, exhibition proposals, and posters—all based on Fannie Barrier Williams’ own words. ese projects asked students to think not only about research, but also about communication—how to share historical insight in accessible, meaningful ways.

“Some students tried to imagine what she would do and say facing today’s problems,” Kramer notes. “What would a modern-day settlement house look like? How would she use social media? is kind of work helps students both do history and think forward.”
Dr. Kramer emphasizes that the project also highlights the value of public investment in education and historical inquiry. Kramer says we should all learn about those who came before us, especially in Western NY, a “hotbed in the 19th century of commerce [Erie Canal], abolitionism, religious freedom, and an embrace of freedom and liberty overall.” ose like Fannie Barrier Williams who were proud Western New Yorkers and worked to make the world a better place should be recognized and learned from.
Beyond the university, project leaders encourage community members to get involved. e project’s Friends of Fannie Barrier Williams initiative, co-organized by Social Work Professor Nicole Cesnales, invites public participation in preserving and promoting her memory—whether through grave site care, exhibitions at libraries and local events, or uncovering long-lost family materials. In fact, one mystery remains: while Williams was also a painter, none of her artworks are currently known to exist. Are they still out there in a local attic or archive? Project coordinators welcome community insights.
e FBW Project’s comprehensive website (see below), serves as a digital home for essays, timelines, quotations, and student-curated exhibits. It not only preserves Williams’ legacy but makes it available for anyone to engage with.
“People often ask, ‘History—what are you going to do with that?’ But the real question is, what can’t you do with that kind of learning? It helps young people ground themselves and position themselves in today’s world.”
Indeed, through Fannie Barrier Williams, students at SUNY Brockport are learning that history isn’t just something we study—it’s something we carry forward.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE
Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.
Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses. Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.
THE RIGHT WAY TO LEAVE A JOB
Take coworkers’ feelings into consideration. Be open and honest with coworkers, but do not gloat that you are leaving the company and they are not. And if anyone has strong feelings about your departure, accept their point of view and do not react outwardly. Take things in stride as much as possible.
