Outwitting the scammers

My phone number appears to have gotten on another list somewhere, and the potential scammers are coming out of the woodwork -- again. I have my suspicions about where they could have found my number this time, but I can’t prove it, of course. All I can do is keep fending them off ... by not answering the phone if I don’t recognize the number or hanging up quickly if I’ve answered and realize it’s a scam. After a period of time, it will wind down as they don’t have the satisfaction of anyone answering or falling for their scheme.

I try to stay off their radar by keeping to a minimum the number of places that have my information, but sometimes it’s just required that you provide a phone number. We have to weigh the value of what we’ll get -- perhaps it’s the grocery store loyalty card that requires a phone number to sign up, or even for voter registration -- versus the potential abuse of our phone number when the scammers get it.

I keep a spare email address for the same reason. If forced to give one out, and not really trusting what will be done with it, I give the “trash” address and once a month go through and delete what generally turns out to be 95% spam email.

Then there are the passwords for the things we need to do online. We’re advised to have “strong” passwords, but what does that really mean? It means using all the types of keys on the keyboard: upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF DAIRY

Heart health beneﬁts: Some people avoid dairy because of perceptions that it is bad for cardiac health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology that looked at 20 studies involving around 25,000 people found no association between the consumption of most dairy products (including whole fat varieties) and cardiovascular disease. The only exception was milk, but the results showed one would have to drink almost a liter of milk a day for a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, the American Heart Association recommends adults choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products whenever possible. Also, a 2018 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found men who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less.

How to Pick Strawberries

1 Grasp the stem just above the berry between the forefinger and thumbnail and pull with a slight twisting motion. 2 With the stem broken about one-half inch from the berry, allow it to roll into the palm of your hand. 3 Repeat these operations using both hands until each holds 3 or 4 berries.

4 Carefully placedon’t throw - the fruit into your containers. Repeat the picking process with both hands. 5 Don’t overfill your containers or try to pack the berries down.

AN ARRAY OF COLOR AND CULTURE: Gates-Chili Fashion Show Represents Diverse Student Voices

BY KATRINA M. RANDALL

PHOTO CREDIT: ASHLEY ROYS

In a showcase of vibrant color and culture, Gates-Chili High School students sashayed down the stage, using their best model walks in the traditional garb of their heritage. Countries and regions represented included Nepal, Vietnam, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean, Ghana, Ukraine, Jamaica, and, of course, the United States in the school’s ﬁrst-ever multicultural fashion show.

According to the high school’s vice principal, Gigi Parchment-Magnussen, who organized the show, their student population comprises cultures from all over the world, with some students o en wearing clothing representing their heritage to school. e diverse representation inspired her to propose the fashion show to elevate the cultural wardrobes on a larger scale. She says, “We have all these people from diﬀerent backgrounds—let’s showcase them in a fashion show.”

A er putting out the news to staﬀ and students, 35 students were interested in participating. e requirement was that the students bring their own garments. For a month, students practiced twice a week, including how to walk like a model. ey learned how to do half and full turns and walk in a formation on both sides of the stage so everyone could see them. Practice was also helpful because it helped students become comfortable walking in front of their peers.

Parchment-Magnussen knows all about fashion shows. While working in the Rochester City School District, she organized fashion shows during Black History Month to celebrate AfricanAmerican culture, but never on the scale of the multicultural fashion show in Gates. e GatesChili Performing Arts Center’s magnitude of stage, backdrop, and lights, made it a nervewracking but exciting endeavor for the assistant principal.

Strutting alone or in groups, each student was announced by name and the country they represented, accompanied by special music representing their culture to the backdrop of the country ﬂag. Parchment-Magnussen says, “Colorful, colorful, colorful. It was an array of colors.”

e performing students were applauded and supported during their performances by roughly 600 of their peers, with Parchment-Magnussen saying students were so engaged and so respectful. “ ey were into it.” e student tech crew also got involved by running the music and other technical logistics. e district’s communications director, Iva Petrosino, also adds, “ ere was deﬁnitely a great energy in the room, from the kids to the models.”

e event also featured performances by Gates-Chili dance groups, Womba Africa Drumming, the Spartan Steppers student step team, and Boots on the Ground line dancing by faculty.

Petrosino says, “As a spectator that day, the energy was palpable in the room. It was like you stepped into New York Fashion Week. Everybody was so hyped up. e audience was so supportive and so amped up to cheer on their peers, it brought a tear to my eye. It was heartwarming.”

Students who modeled may have felt like it was actually Fashion Week, with Parchment-Magnussen adding that at the end of the event, they lined up outside, while other students snapped pictures with them like they were movie stars. “It was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. ey stayed in their costumes throughout the day—they were so proud.”

Now that they’ve held their ﬁrst successful multicultural fashion show, the hope is that it becomes an annual tradition—and that it gets bigger. ey may even try to represent each culture through movement as well. e sky seems to be the limit, with this year’s show’s success. “I think we did what I wanted to have happen,”

“There was definitely a great energy in the room, from the kids to the models.”

HOW CONSUMERS CAN SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Share experiences via social media: Small businesses recognize the value of social media. A 2021 survey from Visual Objects found that 74 percent of small businesses in the United States are active on their social media accounts at least once each week. Social media can become even more valuable to small businesses when their customers utilize such platforms to share positive experiences and encourage their friends and neighbors to patronize local businesses.

CPR and ﬁrst aid for dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Several years ago, my family’s dog “Aker” passed away when his heart stopped. We were never sure why this happened, and I was just a kid. But I’ve always wondered if it was possible to perform CPR on a pet if this happens in the future. I adopted a puppy recently and I want to be able to help him whenever he’s hurt or injured. -- Becca R. in Boulder, Colorado

DEAR BECCA: You can perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a pet whose heart has stopped -- in fact, you can even get training on pet CPR and ﬁrst aid through the Red Cross.

The process for pet CPR is very similar to that of human CPR. If a dog or cat becomes ill and collapses, you ﬁrst check for breathing and heartbeat -- look to see if their chest is moving, and place your hand on their chest to feel for a heartbeat. If there is no heartbeat or breathing, place the pet on their right side and perform chest compressions directly over their heart at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Give rescue breaths every 30 compressions. Keep performing CPR until they begin to breathe on their own, or until you reach the emergency vet clinic.

Those instructions don’t reveal some key factors, like: What if a dog is barrel-chested? How do you give rescue breaths to a large dog? Pet CPR and ﬁrst-aid training will answer those questions, and help you feel conﬁdent that you can provide immediate care for illness, shock or injury until your pet can get to the vet for advanced care.

Kudos to Avon CSD and all the Organizers

A heartfelt thanks and congratulations goes out to everyone involved in making the Special Olympics event at Avon Central School on May 29th happen. It was a wonderful experience for the athletes and families. Watching the smiles of the athletes and hearing the crowd cheer them on was heartwarming. Great job hosting an event that created happy memories for so many people!

You Saved My Day!

As I was leaving a local laundromat and not watching where I was going, I tripped, fell off the curb and landed headﬁrst in the parking lot. I’d like to extend sincere and heartfelt thanks to the lady who immediately came to my aid, helped me to stand up and into my car.

Scams

I could see how people get scammed with fake phone calls, texts, or links. Some of them are clearly fake, but this past month I’ve gotten multiple spam calls about back taxes. I have an accountant, I know they’re fake calls, but I could see how someone would believe them or simply clicking a link can leave a pixel on your computer, grabbing your information. I’m not too old and could fall for some of these scams. Makes me feel bad for the elderly who could get these and not know any better.

Learn Your Plants Before You Buy

I was in the returns line at [Local Store] behind a man returning two hanging baskets of healthy Dianthus plants. He told the cashier that the pots had been covered with blooms when he bought them, but now the ﬂowers were gone. How on earth does someone make it to their late 60’s and not know that Dianthus need to be deadheaded?

GRADUATION ETIQUETTE

Handle limited seats with courtesy. Many schools limit the number of seats each student can reserve for guests. This can make it tricky when there are a number of people who are worthy of an invite. Explain to friends and family who you cannot invite that you would love to have them there but are restricted by ticket allotments. Try to have both sides of the family represented. Usually an invite to the after-party will thwart any hard feelings.

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers diﬀer from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

What should be done to solve the looming crisis as funds to pay these beneﬁts diminish?

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.

Ear mites are transmitted through social interaction with other infected animals, which can include grooming, sleeping and playing together. They are common in cats, but dogs can get them as well. Inflammation around the ears and scratching of the ears or shaking of the head are symptoms of ear mites.

During Patient’s Medical Exam &body mind

FEATURED BUSINESSES

Doctor Uses Dictation Machine

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have recently begun seeing a new physician who dictates into a recorder during my entire exam. I ﬁnd this very off-putting and don’t know what to do. Here is an example:

Doctor: What brings you in today?

Me: I have a sore throat.

Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient presents a complaint of a sore throat today.

Doctor: When did it start?

Me: Thursday.

Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient states that it began Thursday. This back and forth into the recorder continues for the entire visit. I don’t feel as if I can really have a discussion about a concern with him when he continues to interrupt me to dictate. I feel as if I am bothering him while he is working if I want to add a detail or expound on what I said.

I understand physicians are under pressure to complete their charting, and their schedules are very full, but I also believe that building a rapport is important for the doctor-patient relationship. This is not possible when I am stopped every few sentences so he can dictate.

There is no head physician or practice manager to discuss this with. Do I bring it up directly with him or say nothing? Or should I ﬁnd a new physician? -- N.F.H.

ANSWER: I would also feel frustrated if my doctor did this to me. It does make it seem like writing the note is more important than listening to the patient. Even the doctor who stays behind a computer screen to make notes may not seem present in the exam room, and I certainly have been guilty of this on occasion.

I will say that newer technology may help solve this problem. When I saw my own doctor last month, I noticed that he placed his phone down, but I didn’t pay any more attention until he showed me (after the visit) what the “AI scribe” wrote as a chart note without him doing anything. I was impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the note that was seemingly written without him having to change his usual questions. (I did agree to the use of this technology before the ofﬁce visit.)

I have also had human scribes in the room when I’ve seen a doctor (dermatology in particular), and while it’s easier to connect with the doctor who is paying attention to me instead of their charting, having another human in the room does feel less private.

What your doctor does seems clunky and, in some ways, the worst of both worlds. It won’t be easy to bring it up with him directly, but this is the only alternative to ﬁnding a new doctor. Even if you do ﬁnd a new doctor, your original doctor should know that his using a dictation machine is costing him patients.

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. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

DID YOU KNOW?

The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are signiﬁcantly higher than the rates among the general population. USDVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

TIPS FOR TAKING STUNNING NATURE PHOTOS

have no control over the busy background an

in front of in a

photograph. A shallow depth of ﬁeld achieved with a wide aperture can blur a background and separate the subject from that background, according to Shotkit, a photography and gear authority. Some postproduction work also

to blur backgrounds in apps like Lightroom or through

HOW WOMEN CAN KEEP THEIR CAREERS GOING FORWARD

Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.
