DID YOU KNOW? The American Heartworm Society advises dog owners to have their furry companions tested for heartworm annually. Such tests can typically be conducted during routine preventive care visits to the veterinarian.The AHS notes that such tests are necessary even for dogs that are taking year-round heartworm prevention medications. Tests can confirm that such programs are working or indicate if they are not effective. The American Veterinary Medical Association notes that antigen tests are the most commonly performed tests. These tests detect the presence of adult female heartworms and they are typically highly accurate. If a test is positive, veterinarians may recommend further testing, including radiographs, a blood profile and an echocardiogram. Such tests can determine a number of things about the infection, including its severity. The AVMA also notes that the additional testing can help determine the best course of treatment. Cat owners should know that it’s more difficult to detect heartworm in cats than in dogs. The AHS indicates that cats are much less likely than dogs to have adult heartworms, making the disease harder to detect in felines. Veterinarians may recommend cats receive both the antigen test and an antibody test, which detects exposure to heartworm larvae. The AVMA notes that more testing may increase the likelihood of detecting the disease in cats.

WHAT SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DO TO ENGAGE THEIR COMMUNITIES
Sponsor a local youth sports team: Youth sports team sponsorships are a relatively inexpensive way to create brand awareness. The National Alliance for Youth Sports, Inc., reports that sponsorship costs vary from organization to organization, though they may cost as little as $100 to around $5,000 for the season. In return for that investment, businesses gain exposure to athletes, athletes’ families and friends, volunteers, and countless others who may see players in uniform on game day. When compared to the cost of advertising online, on television or on the radio, youth sports sponsorship provides a great return on investment.

Kudos to Avon CSD and all the Organizers
A heartfelt thanks and congratulations goes out to everyone involved in making the Special Olympics event at Avon Central School on May 29th happen. It was a wonderful experience for the athletes and families. Watching the smiles of the athletes and hearing the crowd cheer them on was heartwarming. Great job hosting an event that created happy memories for so many people!
You Saved My Day!
As I was leaving a local laundromat and not watching where I was going, I tripped, fell off the curb and landed headfirst in the parking lot. I’d like to extend sincere and heartfelt thanks to the lady who immediately came to my aid, helped me to stand up and into my car.
Scams
I could see how people get scammed with fake phone calls, texts, or links. Some of them are clearly fake, but this past month I’ve gotten multiple spam calls about back taxes. I have an accountant, I know they’re fake calls, but I could see how someone would believe them or simply clicking a link can leave a pixel on your computer, grabbing your information. I’m not too old and could fall for some of these scams. Makes me feel bad for the elderly who could get these and not know any better.
Learn Your Plants Before You Buy
I was in the returns line at [Local Store] behind a man returning two hanging baskets of healthy Dianthus plants. He told the cashier that the pots had been covered with blooms when he bought them, but now the flowers were gone. How on earth does someone make it to their late 60’s and not know that Dianthus need to be deadheaded? www.featuredmedia.com

BATHROOMS: Bathrooms also tend to bear the brunt of winter weather, as mold and grime can accumulate throughout a season in which it’s too cold to open bathroom windows to let fresh air in after bathing. Inspect ceilings, tubs, shower stalls, and floors for any signs of mold growth or grime. Mold growth in a home can lead to respiratory problems and exacerbate existing conditions such as asthma, so it’s best to inspect bathrooms for any signs of mold growth throughout winter. If you have let that slip, prioritize such inspections come spring cleaning time.
SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS ON
New York State’s I Love My Park Day
BY KATRINA M. RANDALL
he saying “April showers bring May flowers” originated with 16th-century English poet, omas Tusser, and the sentiment applies across Western NY to this day. On May 3rd, hardy volunteers braved such rain to support their parks on the annual I Love My Park Day.
According to Parks & Trails New York, which sponsors the event with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, I Love My Parks Day is the largest single-day volunteer event in the state. Volunteers register to help clean up trash, plant trees and flowers, weed, restore trails, and work on site improvement projects.
Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park
For state historic sites like Sonnenberg Gardens, the volunteer help on I Love My Parks Day and all year round is critical to maintaining the grounds, Executive Director David Hutchings says, adding, “We have about 14,000 hours of volunteer service, and that equates to about seven full-time employees. ey’re as big a help as all of our employees, so it’s a pretty huge situation here.”
In past years, Sonnenberg hosts 60-75 volunteers, but with this year’s rain, 17 people of varying ages came out. With volunteer help, the Pansy Garden, Blue and White Garden, and the entrance garden are all set for the public’s viewing, and container crops, hanging baskets, and benches are out in the park. Hutchings explains that part of the organization’s mission is to preserve the gardens and life and legacy of the ompson family estate, and volunteers “help with all of that in so many beautiful ways.”
Nine brave volunteers headed to Seneca Lake State Park on I Love
My Parks day. Despite the wet weather, the group assembled five picnic tables, planted eight trees, and cleaned up trash on the swimming beach. Park Manager John arp says, “We always try to make sure we do some tree planting or shrub planting. Putting

Ganondagan Historic Site
Unfortunately, the rain mostly kept people away from Ganondagan Historic Site in Victor, except for three who came out and planted flowers and weeded along the pathways. According to Allie Hargrave, Ganondagan’s cultural and historic interpreter, they typically get about 25 volunteers, but they are thankful for whoever comes. “It’s always nice to have volunteers come and help us out with little things like that,” she says. Her favorite thing about the site is being able to interpret the history of her people, the Haudenosaunee. “ at means a lot to me,” she says.
Braddock Bay Wildlife Management Area
In Parma and Greece, Braddock Bay hosted 15–20 volunteers who planted trees. Jacob Kearney, Conservation Program Specialist at the Monroe County Soil & Water Conservation District, says the tree planting was part of a $200,000 grant awarded to his office for reforestation in areas with heavy ash tree loss. e New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is a partner on the grant, so they coordinated the event to help recruit volunteers. Kearney says, “ is day was an amazing way for community members to give back to their local green spaces in many ways. It also showcases how important our local parks are for everyone.”
Rain or shine, the dedication of volunteers on I Love My Park Day highlights a deep-rooted commitment to preserving and nurturing New York’s parks and historic sites. From planting trees and flowers to building picnic tables and restoring trails, each small act contributes to the larger mission of caring for the natural and cultural treasures that shape our communities.

STRANGE BUT TRUE
By Lucie Winborne
* James Barry, the Inspector General of the British Army in 1858 during a period when women were not respected in the medical field, had a highly successful career in surgery for more than 50 years. During an autopsy after Barry’s death, he was discovered to be a woman in disguise. To avoid embarrassment, the war department and medical association arranged for the doctor to be interred as a man.

INFLUENTIAL JAZZ MUSICIANS
Miles Davis (1926-1991): Compared to other jazz legends, Illinois-born Miles Davis was introduced to music rather late. It wasn’t until Davis was 13 years old that his father introduced him to the trumpet, an introduction that would dramatically alter the course of jazz music. Under the tutelage of local music school director Elwood Buchanan, Davis learnedtoplaythetrumpetwithout vibrato, which Biography.com notesmarkedadeparturefromthe style of trumpet-playing popular at the time. A true pioneer, Davis is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz and 20th century music.

CPR and first aid for dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Several years ago, my family’s dog “Aker” passed away when his heart stopped. We were never sure why this happened, and I was just a kid. But I’ve always wondered if it was possible to perform CPR on a pet if this happens in the future. I adopted a puppy recently and I want to be able to help him whenever he’s hurt or injured. -- Becca R. in Boulder, Colorado
DEAR BECCA: You can perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a pet whose heart has stopped -- in fact, you can even get training on pet CPR and first aid through the Red Cross.
The process for pet CPR is very similar to that of human CPR. If a dog or cat becomes ill and collapses, you first check for breathing and heartbeat -- look to see if their chest is moving, and place your hand on their chest to feel for a heartbeat. If there is no heartbeat or breathing, place the pet on their right side and perform chest compressions directly over their heart at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. Give rescue breaths every 30 compressions. Keep performing CPR until they begin to breathe on their own, or until you reach the emergency vet clinic.
Those instructions don’t reveal some key factors, like: What if a dog is barrel-chested? How do you give rescue breaths to a large dog? Pet CPR and first-aid training will answer those questions, and help you feel confident that you can provide immediate care for illness, shock or injury until your pet can get to the vet for advanced care.

PRACTICAL GIFTS FOR RECENT GRADUATES
Noise-cancelling headphones: A set of durable headphones to block out ambient noise may be helpful for graduates going on to college or post-graduate work. Grads entering the workforce can enjoy silence or music as they commute to their offices. These headphones also work well on flights, making them ideal gifts for new grads whose first jobs require a lot of travel.

Doctor Uses Dictation Machine During Patient’s Medical Exam
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have recently begun seeing a new physician who dictates into a recorder during my entire exam. I find this very off-putting and don’t know what to do. Here is an example:
Doctor: What brings you in today?
Me: I have a sore throat.
Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient presents a complaint of a sore throat today.
Doctor: When did it start?
Me: Thursday.
Doctor speaks into to the recorder: Patient states that it began Thursday. This back and forth into the recorder continues for the entire visit. I don’t feel as if I can really have a discussion about a concern with him when he continues to interrupt me to dictate. I feel as if I am bothering him while he is working if I want to add a detail or expound on what I said.
I understand physicians are under pressure to complete their charting, and their schedules are very full, but I also believe that building a rapport is important for the doctor-patient relationship. This is not possible when I am stopped every few sentences so he can dictate.
There is no head physician or practice manager to discuss this with. Do I bring it up directly with him or say nothing? Or should I find a new physician? -- N.F.H.
ANSWER: I would also feel frustrated if my doctor did this to me. It does make it seem like writing the note is more important than listening to the patient. Even the doctor who stays behind a computer screen to make notes may not seem present in the exam room, and I certainly have been guilty of this on occasion.
I will say that newer technology may help solve this problem. When I saw my own doctor last month, I noticed that he placed his phone down, but I didn’t pay any more attention until he showed me (after the visit) what the “AI scribe” wrote as a chart note without him doing anything. I was impressed with the quality and thoroughness of the note that was seemingly written without him having to change his usual questions. (I did agree to the use of this technology before the office visit.)
I have also had human scribes in the room when I’ve seen a doctor (dermatology in particular), and while it’s easier to connect with the doctor who is paying attention to me instead of their charting, having another human in the room does feel less private.
What your doctor does seems clunky and, in some ways, the worst of both worlds. It won’t be easy to bring it up with him directly, but this is the only alternative to finding a new doctor. Even if you do find a new doctor, your original doctor should know that his using a dictation machine is costing him patients.
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.

Outwitting the scammers
My phone number appears to have gotten on another list somewhere, and the potential scammers are coming out of the woodwork -- again. I have my suspicions about where they could have found my number this time, but I can’t prove it, of course. All I can do is keep fending them off ... by not answering the phone if I don’t recognize the number or hanging up quickly if I’ve answered and realize it’s a scam. After a period of time, it will wind down as they don’t have the satisfaction of anyone answering or falling for their scheme.
I try to stay off their radar by keeping to a minimum the number of places that have my information, but sometimes it’s just required that you provide a phone number. We have to weigh the value of what we’ll get -- perhaps it’s the grocery store loyalty card that requires a phone number to sign up, or even for voter registration -- versus the potential abuse of our phone number when the scammers get it.
I keep a spare email address for the same reason. If forced to give one out, and not really trusting what will be done with it, I give the “trash” address and once a month go through and delete what generally turns out to be 95% spam email.
Then there are the passwords for the things we need to do online. We’re advised to have “strong” passwords, but what does that really mean? It means using all the types of keys on the keyboard: upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Don’t go with something that’s too easy for a thief to figure out, like the name of your former high school.
We can outwit the thieves who want our money and peace of mind. It just takes a little work.
