DID YOU KNOW? A study from the Gap Year Association found that 77 percent of students who take a gap year do so between high school and college. Parents may not know how to react when their soon-to-be or newly minted high school graduates bring up the idea of taking a gap year, but additional findings from the GYA’s “National Alumni Survey” might inspire parents to look at gap years more positively. For example, the survey, the findings of which were based on the responses of hundreds of American and Canadian citizens who had taken gap years in the past, found that 98 percent of respondents indicated their gap years helped them develop as a person, while 96 percent felt their gap years improved their self-confidence. In addition, 84 percent of respondents felt that they acquired skills to be successful in their careers during their gap years. Perhaps of most interest to parents of high school students contemplating gap years is that 73 percent of survey respondents felt their gap years increased their readiness for college and 57 percent said their gap years helped them determine what they wanted to study in college.

Being Insistent About a Scan Saves the Life Of a Cancer Patient &body mind

DEAR DR. ROACH: About 12 years ago, I had a scan done to look for the cause of a problem that I was having for many months: pain in my abdomen and vomiting. (It turned out to be Barrett’s esophagus, which was found with a scope.) Fortunately for me, I read the report from the scan. The report said there was a spot on my kidney that ought to be checked in a year. I was very busy at the time, and my doctor retired, so I had to find another one.
Five years went by, and one day during a routine visit with my doctor, I remembered the report and asked my new doctor for another scan. She said she couldn’t order a scan without a reason. I then told her about the report from five years ago, but she did a cursory look at my papers and said she could not find it. I asked her to keep looking. She looked again, found it, then ordered a scan.
This move saved my life. The scan showed something larger than before. I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital and met a very good doctor who told me there was an 80% chance that I had cancer, and we should forgo a biopsy and remove it. He did this, and the cancer was fully contained. I didn’t have to do chemotherapy.
It has now been five years with yearly scans and no problems in my kidney. Please encourage people to read their reports. -- F.B.
ANSWER: : Although doctors should read these carefully and act on them appropriately, important findings can be overlooked sometimes. You are absolutely right that you are your own best health advocate, and you did the right thing by bringing the finding up to your new doctor.
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

Our community is so fortunate to have [a local] pharmacy. The pharmacy and store staff are always so helpful and friendly and never make you feel like a bother if you have questions. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Car Accident Witness
[A couple months ago] my vehicle was struck on the passenger side by a vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road while I was stopped at a signal light. Because my focus was on the red light I did not see the vehicle coming toward me going thru the red light and was blindsided at the impact, with the car then continuing on to collide head on with a 3rd vehicle. She was kind enough to follow this vehicle for quite a distance knowing it would cause an accident and to speak with me and the police as a witness. I am extremely grateful for the time she spent to set the record straight in which some explanations as to who is at fault or what actually happened can be twisted around by some insurance companies.
Grave Concerns
On a recent visit to my parent’s grave to place an Easter wreath, I was saddened to see so many dead X-mas wreaths and plants still on graves in April. We’re blessed to be able to leave flowers, flags and objects as some cemeteries don’t allow it at all. People need to be more considerate and respectful of the deceased and their families and remove the dead plants in a timely manner or replace any faded artificial flowers and flags. The presence of litter detracts from the peaceful and solemn atmosphere of the cemetery.
To those of you who are standing right at the doors of an elevator waiting to get on, please allow people to get off the elevator before you try to get on. It does no good for you to hurry and get on the elevator before people get off. Please use elevator etiquette.

THE DOVE BLOCK PROJECT:
Geneva’s Beacon of Creativity and Community
BY SUZIE WELLS
Nestled at the historic corner of Exchange and Castle in downtown Geneva, e Dove Block Project is far more than a community arts center – it is a living, breathing tribute to creativity, connection, and the enduring legacy of one of America’s first modernist painters, Arthur Dove. Dedicated to fostering the arts in the Finger Lakes region, e Dove Block Project offers an array of dynamic exhibitions, performances, and educational programs – all free and open to the public.
e Dove Block Project is rooted in a mission to enrich the quality of life in Geneva by promoting the visual and performing arts. With its vibrant calendar of events and community-centered programming, it plays a central role in the cultural fabric of the city and the region. Located in the heart of Finger Lakes tourism country, e Dove supports the local economy by attracting visitors to nearby restaurants, boutiques, and historic sites, while also serving as a welcoming hub for locals.
Honoring the Legacy of Arthur Dove and Helen Torr
Arthur Dove, one of the pioneers of American modernism, spent his formative years in Geneva and returned in the 1930s to create many seminal works alongside his wife, fellow artist Helen Torr. e Dove Block not only honors their contributions to the art world but also anchors Geneva within the greater artistic landscape of New York State – linking cities like New York, Buffalo, and the Hudson Valley along a creative continuum.
Originally designed by Rochester architect Andrew Jackson Warner, the Dove Block was commissioned by William G. Dove and built in 1878. is three-story structure – with its striking High Victorian cast iron façade – served the Geneva community in a multitude of ways over the decades. From an auditorium, National Guard drill hall, roller skating rink, wrestling and boxing venue, radio station, dance hall, and even for a time an opera house, the building has always been a space for expression and gathering. Rescued in 2006 by Elizabeth Wenman, Jeanette Nelson, and Claudia Coen and later restored by e Dove Block Restoration Group, the building was purchased by DCMB Ventures in 2021 and continues to be a cornerstone of the community.
THE DOVE BLOCK
DRAMATIZATION OF ARTHUR DOVE AND ALFRED STIEGLITZ’ LETTERS
Each spring, e Dove Block honors its namesake with the Arthur Dove Celebration. is year’s event on April 12th featured a concert by local youth musicians, a professional live art auction, and a oneact play dramatizing letters between Arthur Dove and his mentor, Alfred Stieglitz. e night of music, performance, and community engagement perfectly captured the spirit of e Dove.
A Year of Vibrant Programming
Each year, e Dove Block Project curates an engaging lineup of exhibitions and events. is year, look for:

• October 4 - 26: Wildish by Carla Stetson delves into human-animal interdependence and entanglement through sculpture and drawing, as “what we see is shaped not only by the eyes but also by the stories and myths we inherit and invent.”
• November 1 - 30: Rabbit’s reshold by Jared A. Dominique and Parker L. captures spiritual and geographical transitions through painting and photography.
• December 6 - 28: Reflections, the annual Members Exhibition, invites artists to explore interpretation and perspective in the medium of their choice.

Meet Mama
Mama is a sweet and silly 18-year-old puggle from Honeoye Falls. She loves nothing more than moseying around the yard and helping in the kitchen, patiently waiting for scraps, snacks and snuggles.

Is this puppy ready for a long hike?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a beautiful pup at about 3 months old this winter. Now that the weather is warming up and “Blondie” is about 6 months old, I can’t wait to start going on hikes with her. How far can a puppy that age walk? Do you have any safety tips? – Carl J., via email
DEAR CARL: Blondie sounds like an amazing pup! With the correct training, she will eventually be able to accompany you on some hikes – but not this season.
Puppies at 6 months of age should only take limited walks, ranging from five to 10 minutes max, on level ground. Don’t take them farther – pushing them too soon can cause a host of physical problems because their growth plates haven’t fused.
Most experts recommend lengthening walks gradually starting from about 9 months. For longer distances over uneven ground, and when training dogs to carry their own panniers, wait until they are 12 to 18 months old.
So, you won’t be able to take Blondie with you on day hikes this year – unless you carry her. There are special “sport sacks” just for carrying small- to medium-size dogs. Think of it as a fitness challenge for you, and a way for your pup to learn to love the outdoors.
In the meantime,you can work on Blondie’s obedience training.It’s critical that she respond immediately when you call her, especially out on hikes. She should also be well socialized to people and other dogs – this prevents a lot of grief on the trail. Right now is the perfect time to do that, and to bond with your dog so that you have fun whether you’re outdoors or not.

Dirt and noise: Homeowners can count on dust, debris and noise throughout the
process. Dust appears when walls come down or go up, and construction teams typically erect temporary walls or tarps to contain the debris. Air filtering systems also can limit dust particles. Noise is unavoidable. If it becomes troublesome, arrange to be outside of the home when the bulk of the construction is taking place.

The list of food recalls is growing
It seems that there’s one recall after the other lately, mostly for our foods. To stay safe with what we eat, we need to keep an eye on those recalls. Some of them have been scarily bizarre. The latest ones include pieces of plastic in sausages, wood in frozen meals, stones in chocolate bars, botulism in juice and tree nuts in cheesecake.
Then there are the undeclared allergens, like the milk that was in tortilla chips and chicken salad, which can affect people who have a dairy allergy.
And we have the hot sauce with undeclared sulfites, which can seriously affect people who have an allergy to sulfites.
Then, in a potentially very dangerous mistake for those with heart and blood pressure problems, ground coffee was labeled as decaffeinated when it actually had caffeine.
And when you thought you’d recover from an illness with some over-thecounter help, we had a cough and cold medication recalled for being contaminated.
Humans aren’t the only ones to be affected by the wrong ingredients in our foods. A recent recall was for a dog snack that was contaminated with salmonella.
Nobody likes extra email to wade through, but in the case of recalls, we really do need to pay attention.
Signing up for email notifications is the best thing we can do right now, especially with the increase in the number of recalls. Go to www.recalls.gov/ food.html, www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls and www.foodsafety.gov to sign up for email alerts. Or if you really don’t want extra emails in your inbox, make a point of going to those sites once a week and scrolling through the list of new recalls.
Even if you think you probably don’t have a recalled item, if you’ve ever bought it in the past, check your freezer and cabinets. That item might still be there.
HOW TO INVOLVE MORE YOUNG PEOPLE IN AGRICULTURE
Highlight the challenges ahead and how agricultural professionals can help overcome them. UN projections indicate the global population will grow by more than two billion people by 2050. Finding a way to feed all of those people in the face of climate change will be no small task, but it’s a task that will require dedicated agricultural professionals. Educators and parents can emphasize these challenges when speaking to young people about a career in the agricultural sector, noting that such careers will present real opportunities to make a difference.

When using professional networking sites such as LinkedIn, personalize the messages you send to other professionals when inviting them to join your network. Use the message to briefly introduce yourself and explain your connection before explaining why you want the person to become part of your network. Welcome any questions and warmly thank them for their time. This personal touch can make you stand out in a digital sea of people, many of whom simply want to add other professionals to their network without necessarily making genuine connections.
