Using Supplements To Lower Heart Risk Isn’t Backed By Evidence

Dr. Jennifer J. Dotterweich, Optometrist

Dr. Oksana Zubrzycka Optometrist

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a CT scan, and my score was 184. My cardiologist put me on 40 mg of Lipitor, which I reluctantly took for three weeks until I developed severe pain in my feet and hands. I stopped taking it, and the pain went away.

I’m a 64-year-old male in excellent shape.I’m currently taking a chelation supplement, vitamin K2 (MK-7), and red rice yeast with CoQ10. Do you have any suggestions for the treatment of my issue? -- A.D.

Q. A.

ANSWER: I’m sorry to say that I disagree with all of your choices. Lipitor is a reasonable choice for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes in a person at an increased risk, such as a 64-year-old man with a coronary calcium score of 184. (I can’t give a better assessment of your risk without knowing a lot more about you, such as your blood pressure and cholesterol.)

Muscle aches are not uncommon with statin drugs like Lipitor, but research has shown that in most people with muscle or joint aches who take statins, the medication is not the underlying cause. (In one study where a person didn’t know whether they were taking a statin, the symptoms disappeared. In another, a person who changed from a statin to a placebo every two months was very likely to have no more pain on the placebo than they would on the statin.)

Nonetheless, there are other statins that might not cause pain, as well as alternatives like ezetimibe and bempedoic acid, which do not increase the risk of muscle aches and have been proven to reduce heart risk.

A recent large trial on chelation using powerful intravenous infusions did not show any improvement in hospitalizations for heart disease, heart attack, stroke or death compared to a placebo. I don’t recommend an unregulated oral supplement.

Although people who take menaquinone-7 (also called vitamin K2) have a lower heart disease risk than those who don’t, a randomized trial to prevent calcification of the aortic valve found no benefit. I did not find a trial showing that treating people with vitamin K2 led to a reduced heart risk.

Red yeast rice contains the same active ingredient as the statin drug lovastatin, but at such a low dose that cholesterol levels were not substantially lowered in a recent trial. CoQ10 has been repeatedly shown to be no better than a placebo at reducing statin side effects.

In addition to medication therapy, it’s important not to underestimate the effects of a healthy, plant-based diet and regular moderate exercise.

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

(Family Features) Here are three things you can do to help protect your mobile devices and your identity: Password protect your device. A recent study by Javelin Strategy and Research found that even though many smartphones are being used to handle sensitive financial information, only 33 percent of smartphone owners password-protect their devices. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, you could make it very easy for someone to access your personal information and steal your identity.

Review your social network privacy settings. It’s not just advertisers taking advantage of the personal information you include on your social network sites. As the use of social networking continues to increase, it’s expected that the use of malware will rise, too. Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to steal information and money. So you need to review your privacy settings frequently, be careful of what apps you install, and never “friend” someone you don’t know.

National Award Winning Paper

Consider getting extra protection. There are a growing number of tools available to help you monitor and protect your identity as well as restore your name and credit, should your identity get stolen. For example, Mobile Rhino is a specialty insurance program that not only insures your device, but also offers an Identity Monitoring Service that alerts you of any changes that could indicate someone else is using your information.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Avoiding Falls

The numbers are shocking: Per the CDC,one in four seniors age 65 or older experience falls each year. That’s 25% of seniors. Of those, 37% suffer an injurythateitherkeepsthemfromtheirnormalactivitiesforatleastadayor that requires medical care.

Per the map accompanying that CDC article on falls, several states exceed that 25% average -- by a lot.

When it comes to deaths, falls are the number one cause of injury-related deaths among seniors,and the numbers are grim.

The reason for all the falls varies. We might have a physical condition that affects coordination. We might be taking a drug that causes dizziness. We might be wearing shoes that aren’t good for sturdy walking.

Weneedtodoeverythingwecantoavoidbeingavictimof fallinjury.While there are several factors we can’t do anything about, there are other things that are under our control.

Forexample,increasethenumberof lampsinyourhome,andturnthemon to make sure there are no dark areas. Have one of the lamps controlled by the switch at the door.

Keep clear paths around the house and don’t let magazines or newspapers stack up on the floor next to your recliner.Don’t let phone or electrical cords drape across walking areas.

Get rid of small area rugs.

Have someone install grab bars in the shower,and use an anti-slip mat.

Ask the senior center about creating a class on exercises to increase balance and strength, or even a falls prevention seminar. Or check YouTube online for videos.

Get your eyes checked every year and your prescription upgraded if necessary.

To learn more about avoiding falls, go to either the CDC (cdc.gov), the NationalCouncilonAging(ncoa.org)orMayo(mayoclinic.org)websitesand do a search for fall prevention. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

EARLY TREATMENT KEY TO MANAGING SEASONAL DISEASES IN CATTLE

(NAPSI) — Two of the more common production-impacting health issues cattlemen see in their herds this time of year are foot rot and pinkeye. Left untreated, each can lead to more serious, chronic health problems.

Foot rot, pinkeye and other common cattle ailments are highly dependent on pasture, weather and other conditions. Foot rot is more problematic when cattle are kept in wet, muddy and manure-heavy lots. Caused by the Fusobacterium Necrophorum bacteria, symptoms include swelling and inflammation between the toes, resulting in lameness and reluctance to walk.

Pinkeye is a highly infectious eye condition that can affect cattle of all ages, often on tall-grass pastures and in environmental situations that can irritate the eye. Flies are a major irritant and vector for the disease, so controlling them and other sources of irritant is critical. Delayed treatment of pinkeye can result in loss of the eye, reduced performance and a less marketable animal.

Fortunately, with timely surveillance and treatment, these infections, along with other diseases, can be easily and cost-effectively managed by producers with a non-prescription injectable product such as Noromycin 300 LA, a highly concentrated, lowdose, fast-acting formulation of oxytetracycline. Effectively used by cattlemen for many years, it is widely available through most farm and veterinary supply companies.

HOW TO FIND A HOBBY

Commitments to work and family can make adults feel like they have little time for much else. But finding time to pursue hobbies can benefit men and women in various ways.

A form of escapism that can provide a much-needed respite from the hectic pace of daily life, hobbies can help men and women reduce stress by forcing them to focus on something other than the source of their stress. In addition, hobbies can be a great way to meet new people, an important benefit for working parents who may otherwise find it difficult to meet new people.

Finding a hobby may take some trial and error, as adults may find activities that once appealed to them no longer do, while other pursuits may require more time than men and women can reasonably devote. Adults looking for a hobby can consider the following strategies as they begin their pursuits. Think back to childhood. A childhood passion may provide the perfect starting point as adults look for hobbies. For example, adults who enjoyed painting as children may find they still know their way around a canvas and palette.

Ask around. Adults who want to find a hobby to foster social connections can ask friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers to recommend activities. This can help men and women make connections in their communities and/or reconnect with friends or family members with whom they have fallen out of touch.

Think small. Because there is often some trial and error in finding a rewarding hobby, it makes sense to avoid making too big a commitment right off the bat. Before buying lots of expensive equipment or materials or making a large time commitment, give yourself some time to try a hobby on for size. The first activity you try might not necessarily take, and walking away won’t sting as much if you had not committed much time or money.

Consider coaching or mentoring. Athletes who still have a passion for their favorite sports but can no longer meet the physical demands such sports require can stay involved by coaching youth sports. The same can be said for professionals passionate about their work who choose to mentor. These activities might not be traditional hobbies, but they offer a great way for adults to pursue their passions on their own time.

Hobbies can enrich our lives and provide respites from the daily grind.

HOMETOWN

Does Your Family Have a Fire Escape Plan? (Family Features) When a home fire occurs, you have very little time to get out. A working smoke alarm doubles your chances of survival, yet more than twenty percent of American homes are without them. Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs teamed up to address this problem by providing vital fire safety information to families. 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. Assign an outside meeting place, so you can quickly locate each other

BUILDING PERMITS PROTECT HOMEOWNERS

You are thinking of making a major renovation to your home. Perhaps it’s time to create that master bedroom suite you long have admired or install that wrap-around porch? What is the first thing that should be done before getting down to business?

The correct way to begin a home remodeling project is to obtain the necessary permits for the job. Many municipalities request individuals obtain permits for a range of work on homes or other structures, such as office buildings. Permits are generally required for all new construction as well as specific modifications that will affect structural, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems. It’s important to check with the local building office prior to beginning work to see which permits you will need beforetheprojectcanbegin.Permitsarenecessarywhetherahomeowner is doing the work or hiring an outside contractor.

Duetothecostandtimeinvolvedwithsecuringpermits,somehomeowners skip this step so they can begin a project promptly. However, this can end up being a costly mistake. Permits might seem like a nuisance, but they actually protect homeowners in various ways.

PLANNING AHEAD IS VITAL TO A SUCCESSFUL RENOVATION

Determine your motivation for renovating: Renovation projects often involve balancing needs and wants, and determining if a project is a necessity or a luxury can set the timeline and course of the project. Is the roof leaking? If so, immediate action is necessary. Could the kitchen be a bit more functional? If the kitchen is still manageable, a homeowner may be able to wait a little bit to get better prices on appliances or contracting services.

Separating needs from wants helps homeowners map out a viable timeline that maximizes productivity and affordability.

It’s important to expect the unexpected when embarking on home renovations. Budgeting for hidden costs, expecting delays and coping with the upheaval to daily schedules are par for the remodeling course. However, the end result is often well worth the time and effort.

PREVENT DIY INJURIES

When working with chemicals and other products that have strong odors and/or emit particulates into the air, make sure you do so in well-ventilated areas. This will help dissipate the smell and prevent inhalation of concentrated chemical substances. Masks guard against dust, pollen and some other microscopic particles and may not provide enough protection, depending on the job. The Home Depot suggests using particulate or filtration respirators when performing tasks, such as sanding, where you might be exposed to particles.

DID YOU KNOW?

Statistics from U.S. Youth Soccer indicate that millions of children across the country are taking to the sport that was once primarily associated with Europe and other parts of the world beyond the United States. According to U.S. Youth Soccer, more than three million youth players were registered to play soccer in 2014. That marks an amazing increase from just 40 years earlier, when barely more than 100,000 youths registered to play soccer. While the reasons behind the growing popularity of soccer within the United States are not officially known, one might reasonably trace American youths’ embrace of the sport to the U.S. Men’s National Team’s appearance in the 1990 World Cup. Though the team was defeated in each of its three matches in the 1990 World Cup, the appearance marked the United States’ first since 1950. In fact, participation in youth soccer in the United States in 2014 marked an 89 percent increase since 1990. In addition, the United States hosted the 1994 World Cup, likely generating even more interest in soccer, which many American youths now consider their favorite sport.

RECTOR HICKS FUNERAL HOME, INC.

111 Main St., Geneseo, NY 14437 Scott Hicks 585-243-0995

Suzanne “Sue” M. Kelly June 10, 2025

Conesus: At age 79, Sue passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at her home in Conesus. She was born on July 28, 1945, in Monticello, NY, to the late Mary and Roger Eury Sr. In addition to her parents, Sue is also predeceased by her beloved husband, John R. Kelly.

Survived by her children, Todd (Gail) Kelly, Robert (Judy) Kelly, Mary (Robert) Mastin, Virginia (Franklin) Taylor, Wayne (Korana) Kelly, Scott Kelly, Shawn (Lesley) Kelly; her brother, Roger Eury Jr.; her dear cousin, Lea (Harold) Phillips; her 21 grandchildren, and her 15 great-grandchildren, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.

Sue, affectionately known as “Mama Bear,” was the heart of her home and the soul of her neighborhood. Her kindness knew no bounds, and her motherly spirit extended far beyond her seven children. She cared for everyone as if they were her own.

Her door was never locked, and during the holidays, she made sure no family went without. Taking care of others wasn’t just something she did. It was who she was.

Each morning began the same way: one cup of coffee, one slice of jelly toast, and her Bible resting in her lap as she settled into her favorite chair. Her faith was unwavering, and her relationship with Jesus, her very best friend, guided her every step.

Sue was also a talented writer. Her voice lives on through her published book, What’s Done Is Done, which reflects the wisdom and grace she shared so freely in life.

As it is written in Isaiah 40:31, “But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. ey will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Friends and family called from 11AM -1PM on Monday, June 16, 2025 at the Ridgeland Community Church, 260 Beckwith Road in West Henrietta, NY, where Sue’s memorial service did immediately follow at 1PM.

Donations in Sue’s memory may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, or online at www.stjude.org, or to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601, or online at www.alz.org.

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE

In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year

Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.

In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas all recorded around a 5 percent increase in international arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.

Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.

Infrequent travelers or those who have never traveled may not understand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.

1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.

2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.

3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.

4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.

Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

One of the most underrated historical drives in the region is Route 63 from Mount Morris to Geneseo. This route closely follows the Genesee River, offering a scenic path that once served as part of the Wadsworth family’s farming empire. Geneseo’s Main Street still echoes its historic roots—cobblestone homes, preserved storefronts, and iron hitching posts make it a lovely stop. Make it a slow roll and enjoy the old-world charm.

Discovering the Soul of Avon

STORY AND PHOTOS BY GEORGE CASSIDY PAYNE

Nestled in the heart of Livingston County where the Genesee River bends gently through fertile farmland, the village of Avon invites visitors to step into a living storybook of the Little Finger Lakes region, where past and present are not at odds but in conversation.

Stroll down Main Street and you’ll pass a Civil War monument, a post office straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting, a vintage movie house, and the ever-welcoming Avon Inn. But Avon is more than a quaint village. It’s a palimpsest of history layered with stories of Indigenous life, spiritual awakening, industrial innovation, civic engagement, and even root beer floats.

A LAND OF FIRSTS—AND FOREBEARS

Long before it became Avon, this land was home to the Seneca Nation, one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Just across the river stood Ga:non’wagês (Canawaugus), a prominent Seneca settlement. It was here in 1735 that the Seneca prophet Handsome Lake was born. His teachings, known as the Code of Handsome Lake, fused traditional beliefs with a message of renewal that resonates today in discussions around ecological stewardship and community healing.

As centuries passed, Avon became a destination in its own right. In the mid-1800s, the village gained fame for its sulphur springs, believed to possess curative powers. Out of this boom rose the Avon Inn, originally a private residence turned luxury resort for those seeking respite from ailments like malaria and rheumatism. By the late 19th century, the Inn had welcomed the likes of George Eastman, Henry Ford, Katharine Hepburn, and omas Edison.

ough nearly destroyed by fire in 1979, the Avon Inn underwent a loving restoration and reopened in 2018, its ballroom grand as ever, its rooms blending 19th-century elegance with modern comfort.

A TASTE OF AMERICANA

Of course, no trip to Avon is complete without a stop at the original Tom Wahl’s, opened in 1955. From its humble beginningsasaTwinKissicecreamstand,thisroadsidegem evolved into a regional treasure, famous for juicy burgers, golden fries, and frothy root beer served in frosted mugs. In 2023, it earned a well-deserved place on the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry, reminding locals and travelers alike that sometimes the simplest pleasures are the most enduring.

RAILS, RIVERS, AND STONE ARCHES

Avon’s beauty isn’t only found in its businesses and buildings; it’s etched into the landscape. Take the Five-Arch Bridge, a 200-foot limestone marvel built in the 1850s for the Genesee Valley Railroad. Once bustling with trains that connected Rochester to Mt. Morris, the bridge is now a peaceful centerpiece of a public park and part of the State and National Register of Historic Places. Standing atop its arches, you can almost hear the echo of steam engines and conductors calling out destinations long ago.

A VILLAGE THAT PAINTS ITS HISTORY

In 2023, Avon’s commitment to celebrating its heritage took a vibrant turn when Rochester muralist Shawn Dunwoody painted a bold, colorful tribute across the side of the Avon Fire Hall. Each oversized letter of “A-V-O-N” becomes a window into the village’s past, from Indigenous roots to local legends, reminding us that public art can be both timeless and timely.

Perhaps Avon’s most inspiring figures lived not in grand homes but with grand ideals. One such trailblazer is Julia Wilbur (1815–1895), an Avon native who fought for abolition and women’s suffrage. As a member of the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society, she supported Frederick Douglass and worked alongside Susan B. Anthony. Her meticulously-kept diaries from the Civil War era offer a rare and powerful look into 19th-century American life and reform movements.

A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN AND STAY AWHILE

Whether you’re walking through Papermill Park, reflecting beside the veterans’ memorials at Park Circle, or watching sunlight dapple the Genesee River, Avon encourages a different pace, one where the past is not just remembered but felt through taste, texture, and tone.

And maybe that’s the secret of Avon’s lasting charm. It’s not just what happened here; it’s how those memories continue to breathe. In the laughter at a family dinner, the brushstrokes of a mural, or the stillness by a limestone bridge, Avon invites you to belong. So, come for the root beer, stay for the revolutionaries, and return for the sense of

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ANIMAL TRAINERS

Trainers train owners as well. Trainers won’t just work with pets, but also with pet owners. Obedience trainers will work with pets to teach them how to behave while also teaching owners various ways to positively reinforce the animals. This is a great way for owners to get hands-on experience and learn proper obedience training techniques, which are not always as easy to learn as owners may think.

USING CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES

The AKC urges dog owners who plan to crate train their puppies to find appropriately-sized crates before they begin training. Crates should be just large enough for dogs to lie down, stand up and turn around. Dogs won’t embrace crates that are too small, and crates that are too big will give dogs the impression that they can use one corner to defecate and use the rest for sleep or play. That’s the wrong message to send, as dogs should never be encouraged to relieve themselves in their crates.

Treating pet sunburns and heat injuries

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I took my German Shepherd “Maximilian” for a walk at lunchtime today. Since we got back, he’s been limping and whining. I don’t see any debris on his paws, but the pads on his front paws feel hot. Did he burn them somehow? -- Greg B., Tampa

DEAR GREG: From his symptoms, it’s very likely that he burned his pads on a hot sidewalk or street. You’ll need to treat them quickly; first aid is straightforward for this injury.

-- Fill a shallow bowl with cold (but not icy) water. Gently submerge your dog’s paws in the water -- you may need to do one at a time and give him treats throughout the process -- for 10 to 15 minutes. (If he doesn’t tolerate the water bowl at all, wrap each paw in a cool cloth instead.)

-- Wash his paws with cool, soapy water or disinfect carefully, and pat them dry immediately.

-- Put clean socks on his paws so he doesn’t lick them, and encourage him to rest.

Check Maximilian’s paw pads every few hours. If you see any sign of broken skin, blisters or infection, or if he is still limping tomorrow, take him to the vet for further evaluation and treatment.

Burnt pads can happen very quickly in the summertime, especially in southern states. Walk dogs in the early morningbeforesunriseorjustaftersunsettominimizethis risk, or keep them on the grass and away from pavement during the day.Booties provide some protection,but can’t always stop heat transfer to paws. After each walk, check their pads and wrap in a cool cloth for a few minutes, if they feel warm.

King CROSSWORD

TIPS FOR NEWCOMERS TO THE GAME OF

Few hobbies can be as enjoyable one moment and as frustrating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links.

Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more difficult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend a ernoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course.

Don’t commit to an expensive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expensive, so beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. e shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to find the right clubs for you.

Take lessons. Even the very best at self-teaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. When first trying your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those golfing behind you, learn the fundamentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory (there aren’t any) but will offer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals.

Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf’s vast popularity by taking the game home with them. is doesn’t mean building a putting green in your backyard. Rather, purchase some instructional DVDs to learn the game during your down time throughout the week. Many golfers don’t have time to hit the links during the week, but they do have time to watch some DVDs when they get home from work. Such instructional DVDs can help you master your grip and stance, which you can then take with you to the course over the weekend.

Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren’t ready for the professional tour a er your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don’t let some beginner’s frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game. Take note of your surroundings when you hit the links, and appreciate the time you’re spending with your group. If the game becomes more a source of frustration than fun, then take a break and put in some more work away from the course, be it at the driving range or studying at home.

ank you for noticing

A big thank you to all who observe and honor the handicap only parking signs. I realize the empty ones are so tempting for a quick stop, but thank you for leaving them to those facing challenges every day.

Excellent Hometown Story!

What a fantastic article in this week’s Penny Saver (Hometown Stories column about Geneseo’s Young At Heart Club), and I just want to thank [the writer]. It’s excellent and the article is a blueprint for every village in the county or your readership area of what they should be doing for their seniors. Thank you, Suzie!

Dog Barking!

To the neighbor who very immaturely shouted out of their window when my dog was barking, “Dog barking!”, maybe next time you have an issue with my dog you can come to my door and discuss it with me. Let me be clear, there are at LEAST 10 dogs within the surrounding homes, all of them bark, that’s what dogs do sometimes. I do not leave my dogs outside for hours on end, let alone 24 hours a day/365 days a year like some people, and if they are enjoying the outdoors it’s within the lawful timeframe and isn’t violating curfew. And if they do seem to be barking excessively for whatever reason, I responsibly bring them back indoors. I have a hunch on a few of you it could’ve been. Depending on which one, with the amount of screaming, yard tools and recreational vehicles, or even your own dogs barking, you have some nerve. I don’t play about my dogs. You picked the wrong neighbor to shout at.

Second Opinions

Is this the new “norm?” Your Doctor advises a second opinion. You try to get one but unless you’re registered as their patient, they won’t even talk to you. Then they wonder why our health system is under such scrutiny.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE

(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:

Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move,take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces,disinfect doors,door handles,bathrooms,kitchen appliances,countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.

Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever.Prior to your move,SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself.Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows,maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends and family on a virtual tour of your new place!
