TIPS FOR COMFORTABLE CAMPING

Account for the temperature - Temperature will go a long way toward improving or compromising comfort. Choose sleeping bags rated for the temperature. If you’ll be doing plenty of fall or winter camping, you’ll have a place to sleep that’s designed to be used at the time of year you’re camping.When sleeping in warm temperatures, dress so you can add or remove layers as needed. A portable, battery-operated fan also can be a game-changer if it is hot and stuffy in the tent.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

The cause of Hoarsness when barking…

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little dog Barnsey is quite a barker for a terrier, but for the past several days his bark has been very hoarse. He sometimes snorts or sneezes, too. I make sure he has plenty of water, but I’m not sure what else to do. It doesn’t seem to be getting better. -- Faye H., Hartford, Connecticut

DEAR FAYE: is is a perfect time to take Barnsey to the vet. Chronic hoarseness when barking can have several different causes, and the veterinarian can better evaluate him to see what’s happening.

I’ll go over some of the reasons for a barker suddenly getting hoarse. Laryngitis is a common diagnosis, but it’s important to figure out the cause. A bacterial or viral infection may be the culprit, or gastroesophageal reflux (where stomach acid flows up into the esophageal tract, causing irritation and inflammation).

Less common causes are masses or tumors growing on or near the dog’s larynx, or other conditions affecting the larynx. ese may require surgery, and the vet will discuss this option with you.

e vet will evaluate Barnsey to see if he has an infection, acid reflux, or if the hoarse barking has another cause. ey’ll then be able to recommend an effective treatment. For example, a bacterial infection would likely be treated with antibiotics. A viral infection has to run its course, but Barnsey would be treated with medications to make him comfortable and reduce inflammation.

If acid reflux is the suspected culprit, the vet may recommend changes to his feeding schedule and the amount of food at each meal. You can also try different varieties of dog food.

RESTORE RUSTY TOOLS

Many people may be tempted to discard rusty tools that have gone unused and sat in a garage or shed for a significant period of time. But tools encrusted with rust do not need to be relegated to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have to toil for hours scraping and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar. Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part of the tool. Soak the tool overnight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegarsoaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water and dry thoroughly. Then return it to regular usage.

Alternate tasks. Repetitive-strain injuries can affect gardeners who spend long periods of time performing the same activity in their gardens. By alternating tasks during gardening sessions, gardeners can reduce their risk of suffering repetitive strain injuries. Alternate tasks not just on muscle groups worked, but also level of difficulty. Remember to include some simple jobs even on busy gardening days so the body gets a break.

SHADE-TOLERANT PLANTS COMPLETE LANDSCAPES

Plants need sunlight to thrive and grow, but some need less sunlight than others. People who find their landscapes are less supportive to sun-loving plants can choose from a variety of shade-tolerant plants, shrubs and trees.

Shade tolerance refers to a plant’s ability to withstand low levels of light. Certain plants have adapted this feature to survive in the wild. Plants that grow at the base of forest floors, for example, will get less sunlight than others outside of the tree canopy. Such adaptations enable a wide variety of foliage to grow even though they are not exposed to much sunlight.

While sun-loving plants often have broad leaves and expend significant energy to capture sunlight for photosynthesis, shade-tolerant plants expend less energy and tend to be more efficient consumers of soil nutrients and sunlight.

Penn State Extension’s Plant and Pests division says the amount of shade a plant is growing under will directly affect the density of the foliage and the plant’s flowering and fruiting characteristics. Blending shade-tolerant plants into the landscape can be an effective use of space. Before choosing plants for an existing landscape, it’s important to assess the level of shade or sun the plants will receive.

Once homeowners understand which type of shade they are dealing with, they can then visit plant nurseries and select their plants. Most greenery comes with care instructions that include recommendations regarding the amount of shade/sunlight the plant will need to do well. If further assistance is needed, a knowledgeable employee can make suggestions based on landscape needs.

Shade-tolerant plants can make welcome additions to the landscape, offering greenery and color in the darker areas of a property.

DID YOU KNOW? A landmark study conducted by researchers in the United Kingdom discovered a notable link between low to moderate alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk. According to the Million Women Study, every 10 grams (roughly 0.35 ounces) of alcohol a woman consumed per day was associated with a 12 percent increase in her risk for breast cancer. The Million Women Study focused on various areas of women’s health but included 28,000 women who had breast cancer. In addition, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism notes that more than 100 epidemiologic studies have examined a potential association between alcohol consumption and the risk for breast cancer, consistently finding that risk for the disease increases as alcohol intake increases.

STOCK UP ON HEALTHFUL FOOD

(NAPSI) — During these challenging times, people are avoiding the supermarket and, instead, stocking up on shelf-stable and frozen foods. Unfortunately, these can often be loaded with preservatives and lack nutrition. Many families also resort to take-out foods that can be high in sodium, hydrogenated fats and refined sugars.

“The best solution is to find healthy, prepared products that can be purchased in bulk at the supermarket, online and delivered to your doorstep,” advises consumer trends expert Merilee Kern.

One of Kern’s personal favorites is Veggies Made Great, which offers easy, familyfriendly and delicious veggie-rich meals and snacks such as muffins, frittatas and veggie cakes. They can fill freezers and keep families healthy—even during stressful times.

Vegetables including carrots, zucchini and kale are the first and primary ingredients in any Veggies Made Great item, and all are free of gluten, soy, peanuts and dairy. Available in the freezer section, each is individually wrapped and can be quickly and easily heated in the oven or microwave. It’s an easy and tasty way to have veggiedriven nutrition on the menu every day.

You can find them at www.TheHealthfoodStore.com and locate retailers at www.VeggiesMadeGreat.com.

Exploring Nature’s Bounty: Maple Weekends and Beyond in New York State

BY SUZIE WELLS

New York State is known for a lot of things. Milk is the state beverage, the beaver is the state animal, rose is the state flower, apple is the state fruit and muffin, and the ladybug is the state insect. All these state emblems are evident in Western NY, but perhaps most notably this month is the NY state tree, the maple.

is time of year, the spring warmth thaws lakes and ponds, and maple trees are ready for tapping. Many maple sugar houses in the Finger Lakes welcome visitors for the short harvest season to witness the time-honored traditions of maple tree tapping and syrup making. And sure, many offer breakfasts where families and friends come together and sample freshly-made syrup atop fluffy pancakes.

A quick online search for Maple weekends reveals dozens of locations around Western NY, so you’re sure to find great choices close to home. at’s one of the many blessings of living in Western NY. My family likes to visit Cumming Nature Center, where we can hike the beautiful trails of the property before or a er touring demonstrations. When I was a kid, it was our annual tradition since we lived near the center.

We o en take for granted the sweet syrup gracing the breakfast table. I know for me anyway, it’s better to buy a jug from a neighbor instead of national conglomerates, and this time of year, it’s especially incredible to see how it’s made, to see the variations across strains depending on the tree, the year, and the process, and to truly appreciate the time and hard work that goes into the process. As with a lot of things in life, when we see how something is made or done, we o en gain a greater appreciation for that product or service, and this time of year, I find myself in awe that we tap the sweetness from trees we have in such abundance around here. at homemade syrup made just down the street carries that much more significance.

is year, I learned that 2024 marks the 100th birthday of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. To celebrate the centennial, nearby Letchworth State Park staff say they’re adding even more fun to their annual pancake breakfasts, sugarbush tours, and demonstrations, with their mapling team using exactly one hundred taps on the park’s maple trees this year.

Sometimes we take for granted the beautiful expansive greenspaces and wooded areas around us. Travel a few hours away and the landscape changes. Maple weekends each spring help us recognize the hidden beauty within the trees we may take for granted.

For one hundred years, you’ve walked the trails, camped in the forests, organized summer cookouts, and swam in the lakes and pools. You’ve created memories and passed down traditions. You’ve helped forge the last one hundred years of recreation and stewardship – and will help ignite one hundred years ahead.”

NYS had the first publicly owned historic site in the nation opened in 1850, and Niagara Falls became the first US State Park in 1885. “NYS Parks cares for over 335,000 acres of land, 2,000 miles of trails, and thousands of historic buildings across the state. Almost 80 million visitors from around the world visit our waterfalls, campsites, and breathtaking views.” We are so blessed to have so many of those

According to Letchworth Park History, the original 1,000-acre Glen Iris estate, gi ed by retired businessman and philanthropist, William Pryor Letchworth, was added to the state system as Letchworth State Park in 1907, and through collaborations since then, the park has expanded to its nearly 14,000 acres, attracting over a million visitors each year.

We have such incredible resources in our own backyards, and as maple weekends remind us of the sweetness within such resources, I also reflect on humanity’s relatively small role in nature. We need to take care of the world around us. As warmer temps and spring blossoms brush away the winter’s cold, let’s appreciate the wooded areas that are so precious and make Western NY such a beautiful place to live. We have such impressive county and town parks, but if you haven’t yet been to a state park, I encourage you to check out parks.ny.gov, and explore.

e NYS Parks system, the department says, was “A vision one hundred years ago to connect people to New York State’s most celebrated lands [that] has since transformed into the state park system we know and love today – 360,000 acres of beaches, campgrounds, trails, golf courses, and so much more. is system was built for you.

VENT BRIGHTER

Save the Wall

Please walk facing the oncoming traffic!

Every time we passed by the old stone wall in Geneseo, my grandma would lament over the fallen stones and disrepair of the historical and prominent feature that hugs the edge of downtown. What the Save the Wall group is doing by rebuilding the crumbled stone wall is a true service to the community and to history itself. Please know that we notice and appreciate the hard work it takes to fix it. The wall looks amazing and grandma would be so delighted and proud of everyone who worked so hard to fix it. Thank You!

I’m Welcoming Spring!

After years of walking to and from work I’m retired now, but I continue to walk daily to stay in shape. Most of the streets and roads in my neighborhood do not have sidewalks so I have to walk along the edge of the roadway or shoulder (if available). From a child I was always taught to walk facing the oncoming traffic which in America usually means to walk to the left side. Before sharing this “vent” I even checked several websites to see if that is still the rule and yes, it is. So it annoys me when I have to change sides to avoid an oncoming walkeroften with a dog or dogs - that is walking WITH the oncoming traffic instead of facing it. Don’t they know that is dangerous when they can’t see the oncoming traffic or don’t they care they endanger my welfare by forcing me to temporarily cross the road to avoid them?

The beginning of spring in Western New York is like a welcome relief after the long winter months. There’s a shift in the air as the days get longer and the weather starts to warm up (hopefully consistently soon) and as everything starts to come back to life like the buds on trees and flowers starting to bloom. I’m ready to get outside and enjoy the fresh air, whether it’s taking a walk in the park or simply sitting outside and soaking up the sunshine.

Public Decency

Pop Ups and Markets

I appreciate the effort and dedication that goes into markets, which are noticeably gaining more and more popularity even in our “small” towns. I love supporting real artisans and discovering one-of-a-kind items while spending time out in my community. There’s something special about seeing the hardworking owners/creators/sellers, hearing their stories, and knowing that each purchase directly supports their passion and livelihood.

I recently attended a high school sporting event with my grandchild and had to ask the man behind me to please “not use that language” as he was spewing out vulgarity. My husband and I were at a restaurant a week later and asked to move our seating because the person in the booth behind us was using the same vulgar word every other sentence. The signs on people’s vehicles and in people’s yards displaying vulgarity has increased. What has happened to our society? We are not going to change a person’s behavior but if you are tired of this then please contact your local and state representatives. There is a big difference between “free speech” and public obscenity. How a person talks in a private setting or their homes is their business but why should any of us have to hear/see that by going to public places or driving down the street in our cars? If enough people take the time to complain to our leaders it just might make a difference, especially since this has gotten so out of hand.

TRUE STORY:William Mackey was born 1839 in Montrose, Scotland. He left home at 17 for college. His mother gave him a Bible with his name and a verse in it to help guide him along. In school he drifted into sin as many do, dropped out, even pawning his Bible. He finally crawled out of his wicked decline, returned to school and became a doctor. In his residency, making his rounds, he came upon an unnamed laborer who was seriously injured. He deteriorated and died. His last wish was to have his landlady bring him his book. After his death the nurse asked Dr. Mackey ‘’what shall I do with this? It was a Bible. He realized it was His Bible he had pawned years ago. He was stunned and moved. He resigned and became a minister, He wrote a Hymn named REVIVE US AGAIN. May God move on us as well.

Museums: Museums are ideal day trip destinations because many are indoors. That means weather never needs to be an issue while visiting. With historic artifacts, paintings, sculptures, or niche items like pop art or collectibles, there are museums for just about every interest.

Here’s a Tip

• Have stubborn stains in the toilet? Put some teeth in your cleaning job by dropping in a denture-cleaning tablet and letting it sit overnight. In the morning, scrub and flush. It just might do the job.

• “Lighten blemish spots on your skin with lemon juice. Just dab on several times per day.” -- O.M. in Georgia

• Take soap scum right off your shower curtain -- spray with vinegar and water mixture, then throw it in the washer. Hang it right back up, and those mildew stains are gone!

Is It Necessary To Stop Viagra After a Stroke?

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband had a small stroke last spring, causing a minor loss of vision in his left eye. He is 81 and an otherwise active man. He has even been told by several doctors that he can drive. One doctor told him to stop using meclizine and Viagra. Another physician said that he didn’t see a problem with taking the meds. Both physicians are very skilled. Whose advice should he follow? -- M.M.

ANSWER: A stroke is caused by the death of brain cells, most commonly due to poor blood flow in the brain, and it’s critical to avoid any medication that will increase the risk of stroke. Meclizine is an antihistamine medicine most commonly used for motion sickness and sometimes used for vertigo. Although it has been reported to cause blurry vision, the risk of taking meclizine in a person with a history of a stroke is minimal.

The situation with Viagra is more complex. A rare side effect of Viagra is nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), affecting one in every 10,000 people over 50. A person with a history of NAION should not take Viagra.

There isn’t good evidence that Viagra is dangerous for a person who had a stroke. One trial suggested that there was benefit in reducing the size of a stroke with Viagra. However, Viagra does lower blood pressure by a few points, so if your husband’s blood pressure is on the borderline, this might be an issue. I can’t give you a definitive answer, but most authorities say that a man who is stable, has good blood pressure and is more than six months out from his stroke does need not stop Viagra.

***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT PTSD

Is

a recent phenomenon? - PTSD has been around as long as there have been traumatic events, though its name is more recent. The APA notes that PTSD has been known by various names in the past, including “shell shock” and “combat fatigue.” These names are no longer used in part because they give the impression that post-traumatic stress is exclusive to combat veterans. That’s a misperception, as the Sidran Institute, a nonprofit organization that helps people understand and recover from PTSD, notes PTSD will affect one in 13 people in the United States and 9 percent of Canadians at some point in their lives.

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment

Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.
