Q. Learn the Available Options for Dealing With Kidney Stones &body mind
DEAR DR. ROACH: IjustfoundoutthatIhaveakidney stone. I’m 77 years old, and I don’t want to deal with it. I’ve heard of potassium citrate and pulverizing it with sound waves. Are these options? -- J.M.
ANSWER: When a person gets a kidney stone, the goals are to manage any symptoms, determine if a person’s health is at risk (especially from infection or kidney damage), and decide which treatment might be necessary to prevent any new stones.
Extracorporeal sound wave lithotripsy is one way of removing symptomatic stones, as is ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.The decision of whether intervention needs to be done is made by a urologist with expertise in stone management, and treatment depends on the size, type and location of your stone(s).
Prevention of a recurrent stone depends on the specific stone type and any metabolic issue the person has. Nearly everyone with stones is recommended to increase their water intake (to a level that is adequate enough to make at least 2 liters of urine a day -- and yes, we measure it) and decrease their salt intake (to less than 2,300 mg of sodium a day).
My former professor at the University of Chicago, Dr. Fred Coe, told me that he has seen people with sodium levels in their urine exceeding 25,000 mg a day. A high sodium level strongly favors stone formation.
Potassium citrate is a good choice for people who have calcium oxalate stones (60% to 80% of stones) and low measured citrate in their 24-hour urine tests. A low-oxalate diet may also be appropriate, but you can’t make an informed decision without knowing which kind of stone you have and what your metabolism is like.
If you do pass a stone, save it; it will be useful for your doctor. There are several different types of less-common stones, so management can’t be tailored for you without this information.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
The peace of avoiding the daily news
One month ago I wrote here about having avoided the television news for seven days. During that time, I didn’t have the stress from constant bombardment and media hysteria about all the problems and chronic chaos in the world. I felt better for it, both physically and mentally, but I knew I couldn’t keep it up forever.
At some point I figured I would have to rejoin the aware population and get up-to-date on what was going on.
Except I haven’t done that yet. Here at the one-month mark I’m still not watching the news.
That one hour block of time that used to be spent in front of the television getting “educated” about what was going on in the world has been used for other things.
Here are a few things I accomplished:
I shopped for, purchased and planted colorful flowers for the porch.
A few times each week I feed and play with a neighbor’s cat while the neighbor works extra hours.This saves him the cost of a pet sitter and gives me a nice break with a sweet kitty.
I restarted my free online language lessons and have made considerable progress.
That’s not to say I have no clue about what’s been going on in the world.I set my phone to silently send me a few short alerts on selected topics. I can scan those at my leisure and not even click the link to read the articles. Five seconds of looking at the alert summaries tells me all I need to know. With one finger tap, they’re gone, deleted. If you want to take a news break, give it a few days or a week to try out. Don’t be surprised if you stick with it for much longer. It can be rather peaceful.

BIG BENEFITS OF SUMMER CAMP
Build social skills by teaching kids to act cooperatively and make friends.
Develop confidence and feelings of competency through new experiences.
Increase healthy physical activity, active play and outdoor enjoyment.
Help kids unplug from screen time and reconnect with the world around them.
Foster independence by letting kids explore and make their own choices in a safe environment.
Here are some tips to follow from the American Camp Association before packing your bags for summer camp:
• Plan ahead by “test-driving” a day living out of a backpack or suitcase.
• Review your camp’s packing lists.
• Label all clothes and belongings with your child’s name.
• Break in any new shoes or hiking boots ahead of time.
ANXIOUS CAMPER?
• Let kids participate in choosing the camp and shopping for gear.
• Focus on fun things about camp kids can look forward to, and acknowledge any concerns they have.
• Plan a sleepover or two to ease the transition to a sleepaway camp.
• Avoid communicating your own anxiety about the separation, and keep goodbyes short and positive.
• Make a communication plan based on the camp’s guidelines.
• Help kids make realistic, goal-oriented plans for making friends or specific camp activities that concern them.
The Child Mind Institute offers these tips for helping anxious kids prep to enjoy summer camp:

Me and my little brother were fishing on Canandaigua Lake when I lost 2 pretty big pickerel that morning. That afternoon I went to Walmart to grab a bigger net and a few lures. . As I go to checkout the cashier tells me that her reader is down and that this register only does cash, so my whole line goes to other registers and I join a line behind the people that were behind me. As they are almost done checking out there is a big announcement over the intercom saying that all card readers are down and they are only taking cash. I ask if I can just try to tap my debit card to see if it will work but before the cashier can even say anything the couple infront of me checking out says “don’t worry, we’ll pay for it; just make sure to pay it forward.” We are very grateful for their generosity and I can’t wait to pay it forward and catch the next lake record.

Fairport ursday evening concerts here! Yea!
Perinton Concert Band played wonderfully well for our first of the season. Thank you to a large group of fine musicians whom we appreciate. That’s the Brighter side.. but perhaps the few people who stand on the sidewalk adjacent to the concert goers who TALK most of the time might consider moving away from that part of the sidewalk or, stay, stop talking and find you will enjoy and appreciate music!

The bridge in [local town] is still closed. Reconstruction was originally scheduled to begin on April 3, 2023 but didn’t begin until May 15, 2023. It was originally scheduled to open in September 2024 after an 18-month closure. It is still closed and we are assured that it will open in July 2025, but don’t hold your breath on this date. If that date holds true, it will have taken 28 months or 2 years and 4 month to rebuild the bridge. In contrast, it took 1 year and 45 days to build the Empire State Building in 1930. I hope [local town] doesn’t have any more major construction projects because we are getting tired waiting for this project to end. www.featuredmedia.com
Pick up your own trash
When you purchase takeout food, you are responsible for proper disposal. Why do you think it is okay to drop it in a parking area or someone’s yard? Why do you expect someone else to pick up after you? I’m tired of finding smelly packages of trash as well as cigarette butts and beer cans. Please take care of your own trash.

The Journey of Kheim Pham and the “Saigon Lady”
BY SUZIE WELLS
“There is a primal connection when we step aboard a vintage plane. We feel the presence of the soldiers, and for just a moment, connect to their world.”
RUTH HENRY
Resting at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo is the “Saigon Lady,” a towering C-130A Hercules restored with care and reverence. But her aluminum skin holds more than rivets and paint; she carries the incredible story of one man’s flight to freedom in the final hours of the Vietnam War. at man is Khiem Quang Pham.
Pham was a lieutenant in the South Vietnamese Air Force in April 1975, as Saigon teetered on the edge of collapse. Despite a peace treaty signed two years earlier, communist forces from the North were sweeping through the South with alarming speed. e capital city was descending into chaos –looting, panic, and last-ditch evacuations. For Pham, the war had become personal. With his country crumbling and his family in danger, he made a fateful decision.
As Ngoc Huynh reported in 2020, “In April of 1975, with the Vietnam War raging to a bloody end, South Vietnamese Air Force Lt. Khiem Quang Pham had one chance – one – to save his family and himself.” at chance came in the form of a C-130 cargo plane – designed to carry 92 people, but on that escape mission, it held around 350 refugees including 52 members of Pham’s family.
According to the National Warplane Museum, Pham and his friend, Major Canh Huu Nguyen, executed a bold plan: ey unloaded 20,000 pounds of rice from the aircra at Long anh Airport, picked up Pham’s family, and told the surprised crew they weren’t going back. Tensions flared as an armed standoff briefly unfolded on the runway. Yet Pham believed the soldiers wouldn’t dare fire on a plane full of civilians – and he was right. He pushed the throttles forward and roared down the runway, li ing off just in time.
To avoid radar detection, Pham skimmed the treetops before climbing over the South China Sea. An hour later, at 16,000 feet and over international waters, he announced their freedom. “Cheers erupted throughout the plane,” Pham reflects.

Landing in Singapore, the family faced uncertainty. ey were out of fuel, had no cash, and were detained at the airport. But a miraculous turn of events – fueled by compassion from an American pastor named Richard Pendell – changed their fate. Pendell sent $30,000 to ensure they were not deported back to Vietnam, and the family was eventually sent first-class to Guam and on to the United States to begin anew.
Pham’s own journey in America was humble. He worked cleaning toilets and fueling planes before rising to become a flight instructor and eventually a commercial airline pilot. A er accumulating 18,000 hours of flight time, he retired from US Airways in 2006. He now lives in Ohio with three children and nine grandchildren.
e “Saigon Lady,” meanwhile, had a life of her own. Built in 1957 and flown in Vietnam under serial #570460, she served both the South Vietnamese and later the U.S. Air Force before retiring to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. In 2019, the National Warplane Museum acquired her and began a $250,000 restoration effort. Volunteers – many of them Vietnam and C-130 veterans – painstakingly reassembled and repainted her, returning her to the appearance she bore on April 2, 1975.
Austin Hancock, a NWM flight instructor and aviation enthusiast who shared Pham’s story in Vintage Aviation News describes the rescue flight as “a goodwill mission” that lives on through the aircra itself. e restoration was led by NWM volunteers Jay Jones, Ray Ingram, and

Don Wilson, who worked tirelessly to preserve every detail. “She will soon appear just as she did on April 2, 1975, when Lt. Pham played a role in saving countless lives.”
Pham, who has reunited with the aircra multiple times over the decades, calls the plane “an old friend.” One such reunion occurred on April 3, 2020, at the museum in Geneseo, where he met Don Wilson of the museum’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial committee.
Today, the “Saigon Lady” is more than a plane – she is a centerpiece of the museum’s growing Vietnam War monument, and a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and resilience. e National Warplane Museum, dedicated to honoring veterans and preserving aviation history, invites visitors to step aboard and connect with the powerful human stories behind the hardware.
As volunteer Ruth Henry puts it, “ ere is a primal connection when we step aboard a vintage plane. We feel the presence of the soldiers, and for just a moment, connect to their world.” Perhaps through more visits like this and outreach in the community, people today will learn to appreciate the human experience that was the Vietnam War.

Swimming and outdoor activities are great ways for kids to stay physically active all summer.
Here are some easy-to-follow tips to help keep them safe and secure while having fun in the sun:
SUN SAFETY
• Avoid outdoor activities during midday when UV rays are strongest.
• Remember that UV rays can burn skin even when it’s cloudy.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses.
• Wear clothes that cover as much skin as possible.
• Use sunscreen with minimum SPF 15 on all exposed areas of the body, remembering ears, lips, tops of feet and backs of legs.
• Apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours.
• Reapply sunscreen every time you get out of the water.
WATER SAFETY
• Make sure swimming pools are surrounded by secure fencing with a latched gate.
• Always supervise children when they are in or near water. Drowning can occur in even an inch or two of water.
• Make sure kids wear life jackets in and around lakes, the ocean and other natural bodies of water, even if they know how to swim.
• Make sure every passenger on a boat or personal watercraft wears a life jacket that fits properly.
• Train children to swim at an early age. Everyone should learn how to float and move through water.
• Learn CPR. Visit redcross.org for local and online class information and availability.
PLAYGROUND SAFETY
• Limit your child’s playground use to age-appropriate equipment.
• Make sure playground equipment has soft material like wood chips, sand, mulch or rubber underneath it.
• Make sure there are guardrails on playground equipment to help prevent falls.
• Look out for tripping hazards in play areas, such as tree stumps or rocks.
• Check the temperature of metal playground equipment during hot and cold weather.

Phantom pregnancy in dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ll bet you’ve never heard of this one before! My cousin has a female dog who has never been spayed. So she routinely will go into heat. Well, a few months ago, she started behaving funny. She didn’t want to eat, she started pacing the house and then would flop down and not want to go outside, for walks or anything. Even though she wasn’t eating much, she put on weight and her mammaries started to swell. She also started “guarding” her toys and acting aggressive if anyone tried to reach for them. I told my cousin, maybe she’s pregnant, but he insisted that she had never been around a male dog or gone unsupervised outside.
He took her to the vet because he thought she was ill. Would you believe, the vet diagnosed her with a “phantom” pregnancy? She had all the signs of being pregnant but there were no puppies. The vet gave her medication for a few weeks, and eventually she got back to her old self. What do you think about that? -- Terry P. in Albany, New York
DEAR TERRY: I have heard of this before! In unspayed females, pseudo-pregnancy, or “phantom pregnancy,” can happen after a heat cycle. It’s uncomfortable for the dog and concerning for the owner.
Treatment includes confirming the absence of a pregnancy, followed by medication to reduce anxiety and stop milk production. Hormone therapy is sometimes needed.
The best way to stop phantom pregnancy from happening again is to spay the dog after all symptoms have subsided, and it’s highly recommended. Spaying will help your cousin’s dog be far more comfortable -- she won’t go through heat cycles any longer -- and have a healthier, longer lifespan, too.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill banning weather modification in the state. June 22, 2025.
DeSantis signed Senate Bill 56, which repeals current state law that permits government employees in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to give permits to individuals or groups wishing to manipulate the weather.
“Many of US Senators receive concerns and complaints on a regular basis regarding these condensation trails, aka chemtrails,” from jets. DeSantis said during an Agriculture, Environment and General Government committee meeting earlier this year.
“ ere’s a lot of skepticism with regards to this use of chemicals in jet fuels to control rain and keep sun rays from the sun from ever reaching the ground to grow crops or food.
e new bill makes it illegal to modify or geoengineer the weather in the state. Anyone caught doing so might face a third-degree felony, five years in prison, and fines of up to $100,000 to make it rain every day or keep the sun from reaching the ground to grow food.”
e bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025.
