Senior needs help ge ing cats prepared for flea season
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: The weather is getting warmer, and that means the flea invasion of my apartment will soon begin. I have two cats, and they suffer mightily through the summer -- as do I, with my legs covered in flea bites. I’m in my 70s and can’t give my cats flea baths. How can I get fleas under control? -- Jim G. in Acworth, Georgia
DEAR JIM: Yep! As the weather warms, especially in the southern states, the onslaught of fleas begins. Treating your pets for fleas before their eggs begin to hatch is especially important right now. If you have issues that keep you from beginning flea treatment -- whether giving a monthly bath using a pet-safe shampoo, placing a flea collar, or applying a monthly topical flea treatment -- please ask for help. There are resources in your community. Call your area senior center (for you, that’s Cobb County, Georgia: www.cobbcounty.org/senior-services) and explain your dilemma; they can connect you with resources. You can also call your cats’ veterinarian and explain the situation; they can talk with you about solutions -- such as getting a trusted friend or family member to help.
Preventing fleas also requires treating or eliminating places where they can hide. Fleas love carpet; they’ll lay eggs in it, beginning the infestation cycle anew. Vacuum carpets weekly. If you have hardwood or laminate floors, run a dust mop as frequently as possible. Take up area rugs and have them cleaned. You may qualify for homemaker services -- these invaluable people handle light household chores like vacuuming, trash and laundry.
You have to make your apartment a hostile environment for fleas -- one they’ll struggle to live in.To do that, you’ve got to enlist every organization that can help.

COMMON CONDITIONS THAT CAN AFFECT DOGS
Fleas: Fleas are parasitic blood-suckers that reside on the coats of pets. Scratching, hot spots, hair loss, and tapeworms (which are carried by fleas) can be symptomatic of flea infestation. Some people may notice actual fleas on their dogs, while others may identify the flea dirt against a dog’s skin. Flea prevention medicines and medicated shampoos can help keep fleas at bay.
GREAT GIFTS FOR DEAR OLD DAD
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and the time has come once again to begin searching for a gift for dear old dad. Father’s Day gift shoppers have long since abandoned the notion that a new necktie is what dad really wants, but finding a gift that expresses your love and appreciation for the old man can still prove somewhat challenging.
Oftentimes, the best gifts are the ones that fulfill a need or want, and Father’s Day gifts are no exception.

Hip and Leg Pain Persist Ever
Since an Active Trip to France
DEAR DR. ROACH: In 2022, I took a trip to France to visit friends and sightsee. My hip/leg pain started after I spent my days walking around and climbing stairs in Paris. (I walked 16 miles one day!) I rested during the evening and took ibuprofen before going to bed. I did not stop my activities because this was a special trip. Later during my vacation, I hiked trails in the Alps. There are stairs everywhere in France with very little adjustments for those who have mobility issues. It was very debilitating. When I came home, my doctor ordered an X-ray, then diagnosed me with hip bursitis on both sides.
EXPLAINING METASTATIC CANCER
Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited toahostoffactors.Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts ofvariousorganizationstopromote cancer prevention and raise awareness about the disease.

1. TELEVISION: In the sitcom “Modern Family,” Gloria is from which country?
I was in physical therapy for many weeks. Every now and then, if I pursue activities like hiking or long walks, I can feel some pain. I don’t like limiting my activities because I am relatively healthy.
Now I am 60 years old and returning to France. What can I do to prevent this pain from happening again without restricting my activities? Or what can I do to alleviate the pain if it occurs? I don’t want to become sedentary. -- J.M.C.
Q. A.
ANSWER: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is still mostly called “trochanteric bursitis,” despite the fact that the hip bursa really isn’t inflamed. But this condition does sound like your diagnosis. It is caused by the overuse of the muscles and tendons in the hip, particularly those of the gluteus medius and minimus muscles.
Stair and hill-climbing are the activities that are most likely to cause a recurrence of your symptoms. However, you may be able to prevent symptoms from recurring. The muscles you want to strengthen are your hip abductors (those that move your leg away from the midline of your body).
By strengthening these muscles, the abnormal forces on your gluteal muscles and tendons can be avoided. Your physical therapist can show you how to do this, either with a springresisted sliding platform or an elastic resistance band. This should prevent the recurrence of GTPS.

The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidence-based prevention strategies. However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatly reducing their likelihood of surviving the disease.
Cancerthatspreadstodistantparts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often referred to as “stage IV cancer.” According to theNationalCancerInstitute,when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traitslikethatoftheprimarycancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from another part of the body.
When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the metastatic cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.
Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

FAMILY PROMISE OF WAYNE COUNTY Coordinates a Community Response to Homelessness
BY SUZIE WELLS
In a nation in which more than 40% of Americans are just a $400 emergency away from financial distress, the risk of homelessness is ever-present. Family Promise of Wayne County (FPWC) works hard to change that reality for families in crisis, helping ensure they not only find shelter but also the stability and support needed to regain independence.
“The first part of the journey growth is recognizing home is where you are together as a family, and together you can move forward no matter where you are.”
EVONNE POMERANTZ
What began with one woman’s efforts to bring community resources together to help the homeless in NYC and expanded to nationwide efforts just two years later, Family Promise has now been a Wayne County staple organization since 2018, helping families regain stability and dignity. Crucial to FPWC’s mission is the idea that “Families should stay together – not be separated – during the most difficult times in their lives,” and unlike many initiatives to counter homelessness, Family Promise’s coordination of community services while keeping families together has produced impressive success.
Collaborating with community resources, Family Promise offers comprehensive and targeted services. At the heart of FPWC’s mission is its rotational shelter program, a model using existing community spaces and volunteers who open their spaces to provide temporary housing. Family Promise of Wayne County has sheltered 61 families in the past few years, and the love and guidance staff and volunteers give families has been pivotal for helping them become or remain independent in the community.
Families receive more than just a place to stay—they benefit from warm hospitality, comprehensive case management, and community support that helps them transition to permanent housing. With a 95% success rate, most families in the program secure stable housing within nine weeks in the program, and because of Family Promise’s depth of services and community support, families stay housed.
e Roof Over eir Heads program helps families secure or maintain housing, with one-time financial assistance to cover essential costs such as deposits and first-month’s rent, creating a foundation for long-term stability and self-sufficiency. FPWC has also operated a Day Center in Lyons, where families can take showers, do laundry, search for jobs, and receive case management.
e organization’s 370+ volunteers play a vital role, providing meals, transportation, and companionship, showing that community-driven solutions effectively combat family homelessness. Bringing community services together, Family Promise helps create “home” and community for families.
Understanding that securing housing is only the first step, FPWC provides Graduate Support Services to help families maintain their path to independence. Family Promise connects guest families with compassionate programs and community resources to foster longterm self-sufficiency while reducing the broader costs of support services. Partner agencies offer essential services such as workforce development, financial literacy, health and wellness, childcare, and ongoing case management to ensure sustained stability beyond the shelter program.

People Behind the Mission
Family Promise of Wayne County is more than an organization—it’s a movement of hundreds of dedicated volunteers and countless community partners committed to making a difference. e success of Family Promise of Wayne County is driven by passionate individuals committed to making a difference in the lives of families experiencing homelessness.
Executive Director, Evonne Pomerantz, was born and raised in Wayne County, and brings expertise with a Bachelor of Science in Community and Human Services and over 24 years of experience working with families in the community, including roles in childcare administration, education, advocacy, and parent support services. Pomerantz finds deep fulfillment in connecting with families, offering guidance, and equipping them with the tools they need to thrive. Having personally experienced family homelessness, she explains, “ e first part of the journey growth is recognizing home is where you are together as a family, and together you can move forward no matter where you are.”
Nancy Ramos, Care Coordinator, was born in Manhattan but raised in Lyons, and she brings a background in management and extensive volunteerism to her position. Nancyonceneededsimilarsupportandispassionateabout giving back through Family Promise, saying she treasures watching guests grow as their fear turns to strength. “With thehelpofourcommunity,thisorganization[thrives],”she says.
By addressing the root causes of family homelessness, Family Promise of Wayne County is not only transforming individual lives but strengthening the entire community.
e Lyons day center location recently closed and Family Promise is moving offices to Newark’s First United Methodist Church, but Pomerantz explains that case management and Roof Over eir Heads will continue from the new location. e organization always seeks volunteersand/ordonationsastheyrelyentirelyonprivate donations. Pomerantz anticipates this move is merely “one step back” before “a GIANT leap forward” helping families who need assistance.

a 55+ community right for you?
The first thought we have about those over 55 communities is sure, others will be like us, our every need and want will be taken care of.
But is that always true?
There is, of course, a long list of good things about living in a seniors community. In most cases there will be activities with lots of social opportunities. Depending on the community, there might be a pool, a golf course and tennis courts, a fitness center with classes, scheduled activities, excursions and trips.
For the most part, homes in these communities are smaller since many of us will be downsizing anyway and outdoor maintenance and yardwork will be done by others.
Sounds great, right?
There is another side, though, to the 55+ communities, and some of the negatives are fairly significant.
Variety in social opportunities may be very limited. After all, everyone there will be our age with few opportunities to interact with younger people. If your family situation changes and you need to move your child and grandchildren in with you, it likely won’t be possible in a 55+ community, and even visits will probably have a time limit. And there’s the issue of inheritance: If you want to leave your home to a child in your will, they couldn’t live there.
If you ever decide to sell, your target buyer pool will be limited to other 55+ seniors. Even renting, if that’s allowed in the community, will be limited to senior occupants.
Level: Advanced
Then there are the high fees to cover all the amenities, HOA and taxes -expenses that can go up at any time. Even in the beginning, your monthly costs could be in the thousands of dollars.
Before buying into a 55+ community, get advice -- a lot of it. Ask questions, get feedback, visit a potential community more than once and talk to people who live there, if possible.

Commodore Stephen Decatur wrote one of the first recorded descriptions of sailors’ uniforms in 1813, describing the men on the frigates of the U.S. and Macedonia as wearing “glazed canvas hats with stiff brims, decked with ribbons, blue jackets buttoned loosely over waistcoats, and blue trousers with bell bottoms.” In the early 19th century before the U.S. Navy uniform was standardized, some sailors chose a style of wide trousers that had bell-shaped cuffs.

Bell Bottoms Day
When wide-legged trousers were introduced in the 1920s by Coco Chanel, women of this era started to break free of corsets and dresses.
European carpenters have worn bell bottoms for centuries to prevent sawdust from falling on their feet or shoes.
Bell bottoms become a fashion trend among men and women in Europe 1960s.

My sweet adorable grandmother asked me to post a message on Facebook for her.

Good Samaritan
I would like to extend a sincere Thank You with deep appreciation for a gentleman we know only as “Steve” from Kendall. On Saturday March 22, my husband & I purchased an area rug from the Lowes store in Brockport. We struggled to load it into our small Kia Soul SUV, unaware of its cumbersome fit in the vehicle. After several unsuccessful attempts, my husband went back into the store to seek assistance Several minutes later he was accompanied by a fellow shopper, who immediately offered to load the large rug into his van which had more room than our vehicle, however he had to keep the trunk ajar to hold it. He was kind & gracious enough to not only follow us home to our residence in Clarkson, about a 5 mile drive from the store, but also helped unload and carry into our house without accepting any monetary gesture my husband offered him. He even stayed and chatted with us, as our three rescue pooches welcomed him. He simply stated that he was paying it forward. Extraordinary kindness!

To all of you who work in public places: schools, apartment buildings, stores, DMV or other public areas. Please consider how much body spray perfume or cologne you wear as it really does affect a lot of people. COPD. ASTHMA. It’s seriously affects breathing and just gives others a headache. And then when you got two three or even more in the same area wearing it, it can be extreme. Thank you. I understand some of you just aren’t aware how badly it can affect others. Thank you for listening as this is such an important issue.
Fast Drivers
Several streets in the village are many blocks long but with no crosswalks. The 25 mph the state requires for school children walking to school has been disregarded for decades. The mayor refuses to do anything about the extreme speed every day, all day long, about 50-60 mph. Once a year a speed monitor is put out but no one ever slows down and no tickets are issued. Even school buses and cars speed. Pedestrians in general are in grave danger crossing streets at every light. The crossing light only lasts 18 sec and not everyone can cross that fast. A number of people have been hit and seriously injured. I was within 2 inches of me and my dogs getting killed. The cross light was on, all 3 of us were wearing reflective coats and flashing lights. I had to scream and flash my light in the drivers face to get his attention as he raced to make a left turn right into us. The mayor, nor the police department cared about my letter of complaint. He puts us at risk every day and has never cared.

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW
Be brief yet effective
A concise design is key. Many recruiters spend little to no time reviewing the hordes of résumés they receive. In fact, automated résumé bots may initially screen the documents to thin the crowd. According to data from the 12th annual Mystery Job Candidate survey by CareerXRoads, the average recruiter spends six seconds looking at a résumé. If a résumé is lengthy or doesn’t attract attention, it will likely be ignored. Stick to a single-page and make sure wording is brief but meaty.
