HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE
Space: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis. If much of the home is unused, seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

PROBLEMS THAT CAN LEAD TO LAWN DAMAGE
Lack of sunlight: All plants need the proper ratio of sunlight to grow. Too much sunlight and plant blades can scorch. Too little sunlight and grass may turn brown and die. Although there are shade-tolerant varieties of grass, homeowners also can explore alternative landscapes. Work in a garden bed or create a design that utilizes gravel or mulch. Avoid aggressively pruning back trees to give the lawn more sunlight in that area, as this may just damage the trees.
Choose materials. As with many landscaping projects, homeowners must first determine what types of additions they would like on their properties. Common hardscape features include patios, decks, walkways of pavers or bricks, and retaining walls. Hardscape elements can be functional or simply decorative features that add whimsy to the yard.

Make a Plan Installing smoke alarms on every level of the home and developing a plan of escape can give your family precious minutes to get out and get to safety. Draw a floor plan of your home and sketch exit routes out of every room. Make sure you have a fire escape ladder long enough to reach the ground from upstairs rooms.

FAITH and WORSHIP
By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.

BREEZE THROUGH SPRING CLEANING
Spring heralds a season of fresh starts and growth -- and what better way to start anew than with a little spring cleaning?
Taking the time to get organized can make all the difference -- and it can make the most cluttered closets and dirtiest corners a breeze to clean. With the right tools in hand, organizing any messy space becomes a mangeable task. You can save time and money by getting cleaning supplies, like dusters, sponges and automated air fresheners.

Co assionate Car Care
I was in a collision (safe and well, all repairable!), that really set me back and felt like a big hurdle to get through. A huge shout out to Kolb Family Automotive for taking so much stress away! Dan and the team stayed on top of everything and made it completely seamless. They answered my many questions with genuine respect and were incredibly kind–a complete shocker based on other car shop experiences I’ve had before. With kindness from day one, they truly reflected the personal touch of a family owned business. Thank you for being honest, professional, and quick to get me back on the road!
Leash your dogs!
At [local park] today, an off leash dog ran up to my dog and jumped up on me. Its owner yelled, “He’s friendly!” So what? You don’t know if MY dog is friendly or reactive. In public places, LEASH YOUR DOG. If you want your dog to run around off-leash, rent or build your own PRIVATE fenced in area. My dog was small, but next time your off leash dog approaches a less friendly, large dog, it could be really bad, violent, or even deadly. It’s common sense, be respectful of the park, and respectful of your community. You and your dog ain’t special. Next time I’m reporting you to the cop who was sitting across the street.
Appalling state of [local business] grounds
On a recent visit to [local business], I was very disturbed at the state of the outside of the building. Decorative trees that should be trimmed and shaped each year are overgrown. The trees are taller than the building and encroaching on each other to make it look like a jungle. Where shrubs were once planted to enhance the entrance way is now filled with only weeds and dried dirt. What would it take to have a company come in twice a year and trim trees and shrubs and do some clean up? The [local business] should be ashamed at the impression their patrons get when stopping in or driving past one of the most visited facilities in the [local town].

Putting the Community in Cats – And People
BY KATRINA M. RANDALL
“People say, ‘you’re in the cat business,’ but we’re also in the people business.”
MARLIES SULLIVAN
Marlies Sullivan makes nine stops in the morning before heading to her fulltime job. at’s because nine colonies of cats throughout Victor are waiting for breakfast. A lookout cat greets her when she arrives at some of the colonies, comprising anywhere from two to sixteen or more cats. Like people, cats have different personalities. ere are leaders and followers, affectionate felines and ones who won’t give you the time of day.
Most people refer to these “community” cats as strays, but they have shelters if they choose to stay as well as people who feed them every day. It all started about eight years ago when Marlies and her husband, Chris, came across some feral cats and started to feed them. It wasn’t long before they realized there was a bigger issue (a lot of community cats). So they began trapping and spaying or neutering them, and her husband made housing for the cats. One colony of cats slowly grew to two, then three, and kept growing.
Although many organizations in the Rochester area provide trap, neuter, and release services, which is a critical service, Marlies, who has been involved with animal rescue since 1990, says they wanted to keep tabs on the cats a er they were released. By the time they officially launched the Neighborhood Cats Network as a nonprofit in 2024, they’d been doing the work for seven years. And in that time, the work has only grown bigger – in cats and in volunteers, now serving Wayne, Ontario, and Monroe Counties.
Many people see an occasional stray cat in their area and they may feed them. Once they begin feeding them, the cats usually return. Marlies, now President of the Neighborhood Cats Network, says they field many calls from people and businesses who don’t know what to do with stray cat populations. NCN volunteers make site visits and work with caregivers to trap the cats and ensure the cats are spayed or neutered. ey also o en provide insulated wooden shelters. ey teach rescues to make emergency shelters and even offer training sessions over Zoom for out-of-state rescues. ey also build feeding stations to help keep raccoons out.
domestic, because there are a lot of domestic cats that have been abandoned and are fearful of people, but with a little coaching, they’ll be okay.”
e Neighborhood Cats Network has five board members, many volunteers, feeders, a person who handles adoption, and a foster network. e general community also pitches in through donations and coordinating food drives.
While volunteer feeders assist in caring for the many cat colonies the Neighborhood Cats Network helps, a lot of people feed their own colonies. Many face financial hardships themselves, so the organization also runs a cat pantry program, delivering cat food to people in need who support colonies.
She adds, “People say, ‘you’re in the cat business,’ but we’re also in the people business. We get calls from people who have been feeding cats for years and it breaks their hearts when the cats are out in the winter, so we make shelters and the people cry. A lot of people who feed [them] are very happy they have a network and a support system. I think we help the people who care for cats as much as the cats themselves.”

THE SCIENCE OF HURRICANES
A hurricane continues only if it has ample “fuel” by way of warm water rising vapor. That is why hurricanes can be quite large over the ocean. Once a hurricane makes landfall, it will run out of steam eventually.

Sudden and dramatic weight loss causes concern in woman
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old woman with a weight problem. My weight used to fluctuate from 130-160 pounds.Then I started to notice that I was losing weight slowly but surely on my regular diet. My doctor did not have an answer. Soon I got down to 95 pounds. My family urges me to eat more than I feel comfortable with. I weigh 104 pounds today.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this dramatic weight loss? I still struggle with keeping my weight up to 105 pounds! My height is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, and I really am quite “bony.” Thank you for any help you can give me. -- A.S.
Q. A.
ANSWER: When we see dramatic weight loss like yours (greater than 5% to 10% is generally considered important, and yours is greater than 30%), we think about a few important categories. Of course, some of these aren’t appropriate for you, but I want to give you an idea of what goes through a doctor’s head when we see a person with this much weight loss:
Unfortunately, cancer tends to leap to our minds, even though it’s not the most common cause. A full-body scan isn’t usually indicated or helpful. Instead, a careful and focused history and physical exam will often give clues as to whether cancer is likely.
In addition, doctors want to make sure that the person is up-to-date with their age-appropriate screenings, which include breast and colon cancer screenings in a 75-year-old woman. In a person with a history of smoking, I always consider lung cancer and will usually order at least an X-ray.
A condition that is commonly forgotten when thinking about weight loss is the inability to absorb food properly, and celiac disease is the most common disease to cause this. Diarrhea is common but not always present with this condition.
People can lose calories through their kidneys as well, and diabetes is by far the most likely cause of this, although there are rare other causes. Excess urination is universal in uncontrolled diabetes but can be minimized by the patient.
Endocrine disorders, especially hyperthyroidism, often cause weight loss.
Mental health issues, especially depression, are very commonly associated with weight loss. Anorexia nervosa is uncommon but not impossible in older adults.
Any serious disease -- heart, lung, liver and others -- can also cause serious weight loss. Some medications can cause unexpected weight loss as well.
Chronic infections are another important cause of unexplained weight loss. Tuberculosis, HIV and viral hepatitis are the most common, but there are many uncommon and rare infections.
As adults get older, some degree of weight loss is expected, but it is the degree and speed of the weight loss that needs to be considered when deciding whether this is a serious medical issue. Since it sounds like your weight loss has come on quickly, this is more concerning but a bit less so since it seems like it has stabilized. Still, were you my patient, I’d recommend a more thorough evaluation than it sounds like you’ve had.
I learned a valuable lesson after I made a home visit to give a patient a thorough medical evaluation about her continued weight loss. I found that she had inadequate food at home and was too embarrassed to tell me.
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.

Summer Heat Safety
Before we know it, we’ll need to move into hot weather mode and take steps to stay healthy and safe in the heat.

For me, most important is keeping the house cool, since that’s where I spend most of my time. The air conditioning will be set at 76 to 78 degrees, depending on the humidity.
Very soon I’ll need to put up the insulated sun-blocking blackout drapes on the sunny side of the living room where the afternoon heat can bake the outside wall. Each morning I’ll close those drapes before the sun moves around to that side of the house.
Next on my daily list will be to fill my water bottles -- a half-dozen 8-ounce bottles that I can periodically grab during the day. With the little bottles, it’s easy to keep track of how much hydration I’m getting.
But we can’t always stay home. If you have to go out in the heat, wear light, loose clothing and a hat with a wide brim.
Ask your doctor to clarify what your water intake should be during the summer.
Keep an eye on the weather news so you’ll know what to expect.
Ask your town if they’ve set up any cooling centers, or head to the library or mall during the hottest part of the day.
Keep track of how you feel in the summer heat. If you have weakness, nausea, dizziness or headache, it could be heat exhaustion or even lead to heat stroke. Get help -- don’t delay.
If you’re afraid to run the air conditioner for fear it will increase your electric bill, see if you can get some financial help from LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) at 866674-6327. Churches and town halls are other possible sources of assistance.

Ra lesnakes are a risk for dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I moved from a suburb to the mountains a couple of months ago,and while my dogs are thrilled to have several acres to run free on, I’m terrified that they will be bitten by rattlesnakes. A neighbor said that they are plentiful out here. How can I prevent this, and what do I do if they get bitten? -- Larry in Tennessee
DEAR LARRY: While there is always a risk of a dog getting injured by something out in the countryside, it’s important not to let fear get the best of you. Instead, focus on prevention. Here are some of the things you can do to minimize their overall risk of injury -- from snakes and other potential risks.
-- Train your dogs to come when you call them; if your property is big enough that they run out of sight, train them to respond to a whistle, which carries much farther.
-- Rattlesnakes (and other snakes) hang out in messy debris piles, wood stacks and crevices with overhangs. They stay out of sight (they’re much more afraid of you and your dogs) unless they are threatened. Clear debris piles off of your property, and stack your firewood on a raised platform, at least 5 feet from your home’s foundation.
-- If your dogs consistently run to one location on your property, follow them and find out what’s so interesting. An animal lair or deer run can be very interesting to dogs, but the same location can attract bigger predators.
-- Consider fencing in a half-acre or acre behind your house and keep your dogs within the fence; you’ll be able to monitor them better and control the space, so critters don’t come in.

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.
