Being Insistent About a Scan Saves the Life Of a Cancer Patient

6 Chapel St., Mt. Morris, NY 14510 • 585-658-2003

“THE ALTERNATIVE TO A NURSING HOME”

UNDERSTANDING CATARACTS

Cataract development: Cataracts tend to form gradually. A cataract may be in one eye or both.It may be possible to slow down the development of cataracts by protecting the eyes from sunlight.Wearing sunglasses that filter out UVrays or regular eyeglasses with anti-UV coating can help. Proper treatment for diabetes and quitting smoking can help reduce risk of cataract development as well.

DEAR DR. ROACH: About 12 years ago, I had a scan done to look for the cause of a problem that I was having for many months: pain in my abdomen and vomiting. (It turned out to be Barrett’s esophagus, which was found with a scope.) Fortunately for me, I read the report from the scan. The report said there was a spot on my kidney that ought to be checked in a year. I was very busy at the time, and my doctor retired, so I had to find another one. Five years went by, and one day during a routine visit with my doctor, I remembered the report and asked my new doctor for another scan. She said she couldn’t order a scan without a reason. I then told her about the report from five years ago, but she did a cursory look at my papers and said she could not find it. I asked her to keep looking. She looked again, found it, then ordered a scan.

This move saved my life. The scan showed something larger than before. I went to Johns Hopkins Hospital and met a very good doctor who told me there was an 80% chance that I had cancer, and we should forgo a biopsy and remove it. He did this, and the cancer was fully contained. I didn’t have to do chemotherapy.

It has now been five years with yearly scans and no problems in my kidney. Please encourage people to read their reports. -- F.B.

Q. A.ANSWER: : Although doctors should read these carefully and act on them appropriately, important findings can be overlooked sometimes. You are absolutely right that you are your own best health advocate, and you did the right thing by bringing the finding up to your new doctor.

CORRAL ENTRYWAY CLUTTER

Go vertical. An easy way to keep things neater is to remove items from the floor and embrace vertical storage. Shoe racks, hooks for purses and a cabinet for coats may do the trick.

People who have not spent much time in a garden may not consider this rewarding hobby much of a threat to their health. But as veteran gardeners can attest, gardening can contribute to nagging aches and pains that can force even the most ardent green-thumbers indoors. Gardening is a physical activity that, despite its peaceful nature, can be demanding on the body.

SIGNS OF WINTER LAWN DAMAGE

Gray or pink grass: Another indicator of winter lawn damage linked to snow is gray or pink grass. The NALP reports that this is a byproduct of snow mold caused by lingering snow. Action may be unnecessary, as the NALP notes these circular patterns often go away on their own. If not, raking the affected areas might be enough to get the lawn on the road to recovery. If the issue continues to linger after raking, a topsoil application and subsequent seeding may be necessary.

Hats off to all the local peaceful protesters

Hats off to all the local peaceful protesters who gathered April 5th to express concerns about disruptions to federal programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Veterans Affairs, and the Affordable Care Act.

Anticipation

Music has a big impact on my life. And all it takes sometimes is a simple thought or word or phrase, and I’ll start singing, mostly in my head, but also out loud, a song that matches the idea. Carly Simon’s “Anticipation” comes to mind for this time of year... the advent of Spring. Sing along!

Live calls

Why is it that no live person answers your calls any more? How can every company be experiencing a higher volume of calls all at the same time? Alexander Graham Bell is rolling over in his grave right now.

STOP means STOP, not Yield

PSA: STOP signs mean you come to a complete stop before proceeding when it’s your turn to go. It seems most drivers consider STOP signs as YIELD signs instead. I’ve almost been hit by numerous drivers just gliding through. Sure, some slow down a bit, but it seems brakes are not even applied. Please stop at STOP signs.

Why does a local restaurant bother to stay open? The hours are never the same, they close in the middle of the day. We have driven 20 minutes to find it closed. The food is very good, prices are fair. BUT, they aren’t going to make it if this is a routine.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

A New Internet Scam

I’d thought I could identify an internet scam when it showed up, but there’s a new one out now. It’s slick and potentially dangerous if you fall for it.

It’s called the CAPTCHA scam. CAPTCHA stands for “completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart.” They are those annoying interruptions when you’re trying to access a webpage. You typically have to click a box to prove you’re not a robot.Then you have to type in the skewed letters on the screen and click all the parts of the streetlight, or car or bus or whatever the image is. All this before it allows you to go to the page you’re trying to see.

The newest scam is that these CAPTCHAs are spreading malware in your computer with every step.

This is a sneaky scam because we’ve been lulled into complacency about those CAPTCHA verification tests, and we might tend to just click on it to get through it. Things are different now. If you come across a CAPTCHA, check the address of the webpage by looking for “https” to be sure that little “s” is present.

Here’s how the scams work:

You might be instructed to download a file or to press certain keys. Or, after completing the first step, you might end up on a fake webpage that looks a lot like the one you were trying to get to.

Once you get through the steps, malware is installed on your computer without you knowing, and its job is to hunt for personal information on your machine.

If you suddenly get a CAPTCHA popping up when you don’t expect it, back out of the page. Don’t go there.

Even if you’re sure you’re safe, don’t download anything that a CAPTCHA steers you to.

And as always, keep good virus protection on your computer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Without pollinators, more than 100 crops grown in the United States would not be able to thrive. Plants, including various fruits, vegetables, nuts and more, rely on pollinators to ensure to transport pollen. Though many plants are self-pollinating and others are pollinated by the wind or water, many others rely on insects and animals to become pollinated. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and small mammals all can work as pollinators. Examples of crops pollinated by pollinators include apples, squash and almonds.Animals and insects help pollinate more than 75 percent of the world’s flowering plants, and nearly 75 percent of all crops, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, pesticide use can diminish the number of natural pollinators. Natural gardening and pest-control can help protect the habitats of pollinators.

Scrapes and Cuts

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have an adventurous Shorthaired Pointer named “Gordie” who loves running through the woods behind my home while I walk behind him. He occasionally comes back with scrapes and cuts. I want to share with your readers how I take care of his minor injuries, and when a vet visit is necessary.

Most of the time, Gordie’s scrapes are very minor. I always check him when we get back to the house, because he can easily pick up ticks, too. I remove any clinging ticks and kill them right away. I check the pads under his paws, and run my hand along his coat to remove burrs. If he has a scrape on his side or paw, I clean it with warm water, disinfect it and put some antibiotic ointment on it. If it’s a place where he can scratch or lick, I cover it with a gauze bandage for a couple of days.

Last month, Gordie limped over to me with a deep laceration on his left front paw pad. Fortunately, we weren’t far from home. I carried him inside and gently looked at the injury. It wasn’t bleeding too badly, but the cut was very deep, and trying to clean it was very painful for him. This time, we had to see the vet. I wrapped his paw in gauze to protect it and off we went. The vet stitched him up, and Gordie has to wear a lampshade collar for the next week or so to let it heal.

I hope my story will be helpful to readers. -- Tyler N., Dracut, Massachusetts

DEAR TYLER: This is very helpful! Best wishes to Gordie for a speedy recovery. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

Avon Rotary Club and Partners

Build Beds for Local Children in Need

On Saturday, March 29th, the spirit of “Service Above Self” was in full swing as the Avon Rotary Club spearheaded a service project in collaboration with Sleep in Heavenly Peace – Rochester (SHP). A dedicated team of 45 volunteers came together to construct 37 beds for local children who currently lack a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

e event, held in Macedon, saw enthusiastic participation from Rotarians representing not only the Avon Club but also the Geneseo, Honeoye Falls-Mendon, Penfield, Rochester Southwest, and Spencerport Clubs.

eir efforts were further bolstered by the generous involvement of friends and family, all united by a common goal.

roughout the day, volunteers worked in teams at specialized stations to assemble each component of a twin bed. One station was dedicated to assembling and sanding the side rails, another to fastening strapping tape to rolls slats, and another to sanding and constructing headboards and footboards, which were then drilled with holes to facilitate easy bolt assembly upon bed delivery. As a final touch, each completed headboard and footboard was branded with the SHP logo.

SHP is an international nonprofit organization, founded in 2012, that is driven by the motto "No Child Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town." With over 300 chapters across the United States and Canada, SHP recognizes that a good night's sleep is fundamental to a child's healthy growth and development. eir core mission is to build and deliver beds to families in need, ensuring no child has to endure the discomfort and insecurity of sleeping on the floor.

e importance of this work is underscored by scientific research. A study published in Lancet Child & Adolescent Health on July 29, 2022, highlighted the critical role of sufficient sleep in healthy brain development. e research indicated that children who consistently get at least nine hours of sleep experience better mental health and exhibit fewer behavioral challenges compared to those with insufficient sleep.

“This is such a worthwhile project. Most of us take for granted a safe and comfortable bed to sleep in. This project was a reminder that too many children in our area go without this basic necessity. It felt good to be able to help local families take care of their kids.”

TIM

HAYES

e Rochester chapter of SHP was established in 2019 by Donna and Shawn Ritchie. eir hard work and dedication have resulted in the delivery of over 1,150 beds to families in need throughout Monroe County. Despite their significant impact, the need remains substantial, as evidenced by SHP’s waitlist of over 400 families.

Tim Hayes, a Geneseo Rotarian who volunteered at the event, said, “ is is such a worthwhile project. Most of us take for granted a safe and comfortable bed to sleep in. is project was a reminder that too many children in our area go without this basic necessity. It felt good to be able to help local families take care of their kids.”

e successful bed build event was supported by Avon Rotary’s $5,000 donation to Sleep in Heavenly Peace for building supplies. is contribution included $2,910 in District Grant funding from the Rotary Foundation. e Rotary Foundation invests funds donated by Rotarians and channels them back into communities through District Grants, which local Rotary Clubs like Avon can apply for to finance projects that create meaningful change both locally and internationally. is collaborative support within the Rotary network underscores its commitment to service and community betterment.

Beyond the construction efforts, Rotarians also rallied to donate essential bedding items, which will be delivered alongside the newly built beds. Adding an extra layer of warmth and care, the Henrietta Quilt Club contributed handmade bedding, ensuring each child receives not just a bed, but also the comfort of cozy blankets and linens.

is collaborative service project exemplifies the dedication of the Avon Rotary Club and its partners to addressing critical needs within our community. By providing these 37 beds, Rotarians are not only offering a place to sleep but also contributing to the health, well-being, and brighter futures of local children.

TOP 5 EASTER CANDIES!

Chocolate Bunnies

Cadbury Creme Eggs

What does the word Easter mean? Another theory suggests that the word ‘Easter’ originated from the German word for ‘East,’ also meaning dawn.

The most common Easter tradition is dyeing Easter eggs, including a lot of fun activities such as egg rolling and egg hunts. Flying kites and games like leapfrog are also popular, as well as games associated with the Easter bunny.

Chocolate and other candy, especially bunny- or egg-shaped ones are widely consumed. Pastel colors like pink, baby blue, and lilac are associated with this day and are seen everywhere on clothing, dyed eggs, and at events.

DID YOU KNOW?

Firms on the lookout for ways to manage employees’ time more efficiently may want to reconsider their approach to meetings. A recent study on meetings commissioned by Verizon Conferencing found that an overwhelming majority of professionals who are considered heavy meeting-goers admitted to an array of behaviors that suggest meetings aren’t as productive as employers may believe. Ninety-six percent of respondents admitted to having missed meetings in the past, while 91 percent acknowledged daydreaming during meetings. In addition, 73 percent of respondents did other work during a meeting, while 39 percent acknowledged falling asleep.
