FROM PORCH CATS TO COMMUNITY CATS

Many small towns across your region have what residents affectionately call “porch cats.” These friendly strays often make their rounds, sleeping in sun patches and charming the neighbors. If you notice a new feline visitor, consider contacting a local TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program. Many operate quietly across WNY and can help ensure our furry friends are healthy,ﬁxed,and not overpopulating.Porch cats can be lovely visitors, but community responsibility keeps them safe and out of shelters.

Long nails can be painful for dogs. The experts in holistic care at Dogs Naturally Magazine say that long nails that will come in contact with hard ground can push back up into the nail bed and cause discomfort. Long nails also may cause the toes to twist. Most dogs require their nails be trimmed every two weeks. This time period may be extended if the dog goes for long walks frequently.

Tansy is a Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. Her heritage is a duck hunting breed. She loves the water and what better way to cool off on a hot summer day!

oﬀ on dog peeing in a neighbor’s yard

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Unbelievable that someone wouldn’t take responsibility for keeping their dog off the neighbor’s property! I just wanted to thank you for your response to the question. -LEOnard H.

DEAR PAWS: Although you were correct that any dog should not go on a neighbor’s lawn, you also may have hurt the chances for shelter dogs to get homes. We have had dogs for years, and they did their business in our yard, but we did not have a yard full of awful bare spots surrounded by yellow dying grass. What you stated could, sadly, make a family decide not to adopt a dog. -- Nancy D., via email

DEAR NANCY: While I’m not sure why being a responsible neighbor would preclude a family from adopting a dog, I’m happy that you agree with me about the bigger problem: trespassing into a neighbor’s yard to pee in it.

DEAR PAWS: We have a 7-year-old female Great Pyrenees dog and about 3 acres of lawn. I can tell exactly where our dog has peed, because the 8- to 10-inch area of grass is much greener and about 2 inches taller than the adjacent grass. She also goes on our various neighbors’ lawns near the edge of the street, and I’ve never noticed any yellowing or dead grass areas. So, what gives? Is our dog unique or is it the breed, or maybe what she eats? All the best. -- Gary S.

DEAR GARY: Some strains of grass are more resistant to the nitrogen in dog urine (Kentucky bluegrass, for one), but no grass is completely tolerant of pee. Again, the bigger problem is that a pet owner felt it was just ﬁne to let their pet walk onto their neighbor’s lawn to “fertilize” it.

Kendall CSD Celebrates the Opening of its First-of-its-Kind Playground

BY AMANDA DEDIE, COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST, KENDALL CSD

Kendall Central Schools opened its new elementary school playground on October 1st at the 1932 Kendall Rd. school location. is playground is Kendall’s ﬁrst communityaccessible playground and is a one-of-a-kind facility in the Northeast that will serve students and families for years to come.

“I am beyond excited to ﬁnally share the ﬁnished product withourschoolandlargercommunity,”saidSuperintendent Nick Picardo. “Our early vision was to ensure that our students and residents had a space to come and spend time with family and friends right in our community. I believe this playground will become a central place for families to gather, play, and enjoy the outdoors right here in Kendall.”

e playground was made possible through the district’s 2023 Capital Project Vote and features cutting-edge structures including the Volo Aire, a multi-level climbing tower with covered slides that is the ﬁrst of its kind on the East Coast. Other highlights include a zipline, We-GoRound, We-Saws, swings, climbing mounds, chill spinners, and shaded seating areas.

Designed with accessibility at its core, the playground includes ground-level entry points, durable turf surfacing, and equipment designed to accommodate children with limited mobility. Dedicated areas for both younger and

older elementary students ensure that children of all ages can play safely and comfortably. e We-Go-Round includes custom panels featuring local photography by Art Teacher Andy King.

Increased access points, wider variety, and an expanded layout will allow more students to play safely at once. Relocating the playground also eliminates the need for students to cross an access road, improving both safety and convenience.

is new addition is a major milestone not just for the district, but for the region: a protected design radius has been placed around Kendall, ensuring that no other nearby playgrounds will feature the same exclusive components.

“In early January 2025, with a completed design in hand, the superintendent received a frantic call from me thanks to a brand-new, never-before-seen structure having just been released to the market,” said Andy Walsh, Genesee Regional Manager of Parkitects. “Under Nick Picardo’s leadership and with the support of the Kendall team, the decision was made to pivot and include the ﬁrst Volo Aire in New York State. at bold move brought one of the most inclusive and accessible tower structures ever built to the Kendall community.”

focus on student voice and research. Elementary Principal Kevin Watson praised the collaboration, saying, “Our committee featured the voices of older students who advocated for our youngest eagles. Together, we designed the next generation of play for our community.” A student-led committee worked alongside staﬀ and design experts to test playgrounds across Western New York and cast votes on preferred features—including the curly slide, which won by a landslide during Kendall’s own “Voting Day.”

“ is vibrant new space is more than just a place to play, it’s a reflection of our community’s creativity, collaboration, and commitment to joyful learning,” Watson said. “From the first sketch to the final bolt, this playground was designed with our students in mind. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built together. We invite you to come explore, play, and celebrate with us. is playground is a gi to our students, families, and neighbors, and we can’t wait to see it filled with laughter and joy!”

e community is encouraged to explore the new playground and celebrate this exciting milestone. For more information about the new playground, visit http://www.kendallschools.org/playground or follow @kendallcsd on Facebook.

CHOOSING AND APPLYING MULCH

Application: Correct application of the mulch is essential. Applying too much mulch can adversely affect lawns, plants and soil. In addition, excessive application can cause decay and make lawns and plants more vulnerable to disease. Homeowners uncertain about when and how to apply mulch in the fall can consult with a lawn care professional to devise a plan that ensures their lawns and gardens hold up against winter weather.

REALIZE ENERGY SAVINGS WITH 1 SIMPLE STEP

A simple project that will help keep your home comfortable is topping up your attic insulation. This easy project will reduce your household energy consumption and will save you money on monthly energy bills.

A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit or furnace to work harder than necessary. Most attics are insulated, but many, especially those in older homes, are not insulated adequately enough. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps.

Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay Roxul ComfortBatt on top of joists, running perpendicular to the ﬁrst or existing layer of insulation. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists: cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don’t forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical ﬁxtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney.

Insulation begins working the moment it is installed and lasts throughout the life of the building, which means one easy DIY project can provide years of savings.

Don’t touch the thermostat

The temptation, always, is to set the thermostat at a lower temperature and cut costs. However, for seniors this can be dangerous. We’re no longer physically equipped to handle cold and are vulnerable to hypothermia if the temperature is too low. If you already have a preexisting condition, your risks are even higher.The National Institute on Aging suggests that we don’t set our indoor temperature to lower than 68-70 degrees.

And the math doesn’t really support lowering the temperature too much.

Rule of thumb is that for every degree you lower the temperature, you can save 1-3% on your costs. If your monthly bill is $100, that means you can potentially save $1-$3 on your costs. If you’re gone for the day, they say that if you lower your thermostat by 7-10 degrees for an eight-hour day, you can save 10% on your bill. But when you come home it’s going to be very cold inside and take hours to warm up to your normal temperature, with the furnace running every minute.

Ways to stay warm:

Investing in the clear plastic ﬁlm that covers windows on the inside can block a lot of cold air that blows in through even the most modern windows. Experts say this can save 10-30% on your heating bill. Based on my experiences, I believe this.

Open the curtains on the sunny side of the house to let the sun in during the day. Have an annual inspection of your furnace to keep it running well.

And put on an insulated vest. You’ll be surprised how much warmer you’ll feel!

Chikungunya Disease Leaves

Woman in Immense Pain for Years

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a friend who lives in Paraguay and had been diagnosed with chikungunya. It has been extremely painful for her for several years. Her doctor prescribed 90 mg of etoricoxib daily and a shot of duodecadron once a month.

I’ve never heard of chikungunya, and the medical care she is getting seems sketchy. I wish there was a solution for her immense pain. Do you have any knowledge of this virus and/or the medication for it? Are you aware of any new or trial drugs that might be worth trying? -- J.

ANSWER: Chikungunya may not sound like a real medical condition, but it is a viral disease that was ﬁrst found in West Africa. It has since spread to the Caribbean and the Americas with transmission occurring in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and a few cases in Florida.

It is spread mainly through mosquitoes. The word “chikungunya” is from an African language and roughly translates to “stooped walk” due to the joint pain caused by the disease. In addition to joint pain, people with chikungunya usually have a fever and a skin rash. Headache and even meningitis may occur. However, joint pain is the most common long-term complication.

While most people will clear their joint symptoms within six months, symptoms can go on for years in some people. Your friend is receiving a COX-2 inhibitor (etoricoxib), which has the potential for heart damage, so it is not approved in the United States.

She is also on a chronic steroid, dexamethasone, which is used in North America but may not be the best long-term treatment as it has numerous long-term side effects. In North America, people with chronic joint pain from chikungunya are treated similarly to those with rheumatoid arthritis. This often includes methotrexate or another disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. I urge your friend to see a rheumatologist.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In your column, I frequently read letters from people who have to get up during the night to urinate. My husband had this problem and got up hourly. We assumed it was as a prostate issue.

After prostate surgery, he had a catheter for a few days, and we found that he was producing almost two liters of urine at night. The urologist immediately ordered a sleep study to determine if sleep apnea was present.

He tested positive, was started on a CPAP machine, and only needed to get up once on the very ﬁrst night. It changed his life. -- D.S.

ANSWER: I thank D.S. for writing. Obstructive sleep apnea is a well-known cause for urinating at night, but we often forget to think about it. A really useful tool for sleep apnea, the STOPBang questionnaire, doesn’t include excessive urinating at night, but your letter is a good reminder that we should consider this diagnosis in people who are at risk for sleep apnea.

The risk factors in the STOP-Bang questionnaire are Snoring; Tired enough to fall asleep easily during the day; Observed stopped breathing or gasping for breath during the night; high blood Pressure; a Body mass index over 35; an Age older than 50; a Neck size larger than 16 inches (40 cenitmeters); and the Gender of male.

A person who answers positively to three or more of these risk factors should at least prompt a consideration of whether sleep apnea is likely enough to test the person for it.

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

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS

is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the ﬁrst few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the ﬁbrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also oﬀer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

ELSIE’S STEWED APPLES

Serves 6 to 8

2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices

1/2 cup honey, preferably sage honey

1/2 cup white wine

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh sage sprigs for garnish

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.

2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still ﬁrm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.

3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

I tend to like antique things. Something can be old, but it can be timeless. ~CeeLo Green

[T]he sun declined, and we both fell into twilight silence. Night, which in autumn seems to fall from the sky at once, it comes so quickly, chilled us, and we rolled ourselves in our cloaks...

MORNING SOUNDS

Lemon Drizzle

Cupcakes Makes 12

Cupcakes:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 cup self-raising ﬂour Zest of 1 lemon

Drizzle:

Juice of 2 lemons

5 1/2 tablespoons sugar

LemonButtercream:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 1/4 cups powdered sugar

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Sprinkles Lemon Zest

Preheat the oven to 350° F and get 12 cupcake liners ready. Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, self-raising flour and lemon zest and mix until combined. Spoon the mix evenly into the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes until they are baked through and springy to the touch.

Mix together the lemon juice and sugar for the drizzle in a bowl. Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, carefully spoon the drizzle over the cupcakes, then leave them to cool fully on a wire rack while you make the buttercream.

Beat the butter until smooth; this can take a couple of minutes. Add the powdered sugar in two batches, beating well after each addition, then add the lemon juice and beat again.

Pipe or spread the buttercream onto your cupcakes, then sprinkle each one with some sprinkles and lemon zest.

e Night the Angels Came

By Ruth E Staly, July

6, 2025

Beautiful souls went to heaven in the ﬂood of heavy rain. Many of them were children e night the angels came.

Some never got to say goodbye. ings will never be the same. Looking around for loved ones e night the angels came.

ey gathered together to say their prayers to take away their pain and pray for every one so lost the night the angels came.

ey went to church on Sunday and prayed in God’s great name. “Please never let this happen again” the night the angels came.

ey never will forget the terror and the pain. eir loved ones went to be with God the night the angels came.

LEAF PEEPING PLANNING GUIDE

Pick your destination

Anywherewithdeciduoustreesprovidestheopportunitytowitnessblazing autumn color. During leaf-peeping season, travelers can go coast to coast and see awesome vistas. Some regions are particularly known for their leaf displays. New York’s Catskill and Adirondack regions are prime spots for visitors in the autumn. Those who live further north will ﬁnd that leaves in Vermont are such an attraction that routes are published indicating where to enjoy the best views. Further south, Central and Eastern Virginia peak in late October. And don’t forget the shores of the Great Lakes, which are awash in reds, oranges and yellows by mid-September. The travel resource Frommer’s offers more leaf-peeping locales to visit.

Brighter

To the doctors, nurses, and the rest of the team of dedicated professionals that treated and healed me for pneumonia during my ﬁve day stay at Noyes Hospital in Dansville. With overwhelming gratitude, I thank you! Because of all of you, I am alive today. God bless you all! Sincerely, Kathleen E. Kelley

ank You Noyes Team!

Express Yourself!

There was a vent a few weeks ago about people not wearing ‘enough clothing’ in public to which I was appalled, because I’ve never seen a vent about all the men mowing their lawns shirtless in our community. The right to express ourselves through creative clothing is something I love to see on others and would never judge, especially with the temperatures summer brings us. A few days later, as I was shopping, I happened to notice an elderly lady with a thin shirt and black bra underneath, to which I got a burst of joy that even the older generations like to dress spicy sometimes!

Book Boxes

Over the years I’ve lost many in my book club. We would exchange books between the group. We would gather them from yard sales, book sales, splurge on a few of our favorite authors. Now it’s just two of us. So, ﬁnding these book boxes is a great joy. I now put my done books in there and slip in a few children’s books from my collection.

Hideous Solar Farms

My wife and I moved out here to this local county for the beautiful landscapes, rolling hills, peace, gratitude, and quiet 16 years ago. Now, before our eyes are this hideous slew of solar farms popping up everywhere. The problem is they did a very bad job of hiding them from the street views. Some solar farms planted trees which are half dead and not replaced. When these boards approve of the use, why don’t they follow through with covering these ugly solar farms and make the owners or companies maintain these 20-year use garbage and require they replant the trees and plant plenty? This county is getting ruined. And speaking environmentally, where are the panels to go after their 20-year use? SAY NO TO SOLAR FARMS. I see this every day and they are building so many more. Just great.

Medical Ofﬁce’s Voicemail

I’msurethousandsofyourreadershaveexperienced the following when calling their doctors’ ofﬁces. If it wasn’t so annoying, it would be comical when I hear these on their voicemail messages: 1. “Your call will be answered in the order it was received” (how else would it be answered?) 2. “This call is being recorded for quality and training purposes” (really? I wonder if this really occurs?) 3. “We are experiencing a higher volume of calls than usual” (I called back at 3am and got the same message, so forgive my skepticism). Why can’t a real, live person answer patients’ calls?

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK

Meetings: Meetings may be well-intentioned, but they often compromise productivity and distract professionals from their jobs. A recent study titled “Meetings in America” commissioned by Verizon Conferencing found that 90 percent of professionals admitted to daydreaming during meetings, while 39 percent admitted they had fallen asleep during meetings in the past. Managers can help employees get more done and limit distractions by scheduling fewer meetings or reconsidering just who needs to attend meetings more carefully.
