anks, Newark Town Cop
My small dog got out. She was just a puppy in training still. As I ran down the street in Newark, an officer stopped and helped me save her. I would like to thank him again for going out of his way to help.
On Jan. 24th, I lost my pet, Marlee. I went to get a mate to be with my other furry friend. I called several rescue shelters and foster homes. No one happened to have a lap furry friend. I called the animal shelter in Batavia and I’m so happy I found you! I want to give a hug and love to Linda and Brenda, two volunteers there. They said to come and see what they have. They had what I wanted. These people were so great and understanding and awesome! We just love our new furry friend, whose name is now Dallas. Great job to all the staff. I am very pleased with the outcome. God bless you all. Thanks again!

Co are Vet Pricing
Learn from my experience! I recently brought my two cats into a local Vet for their 3-year Rabies and FVRCP shots. When I called for the appt I specifically said, "shots only, that's all I can afford.” Well, much to my surprise when I was done, I received an invoice for $480! Yes, that's FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS! I was not only charged for the shots, but the bill also included a $87.50 "Wellness Visit" for each kitty! I was beyond shocked. They only weighed my cats and asked me questions-OK? So, after the fact I called two other local Vets and here is the comparison pricing I received: 3-Year Rabies I was charged $118 for each kitty, while for the other 2 two Vets I called their pricing was $40/$50. Wellness Visit I was charged $87.50 for each kitty; other two Vets I called their pricing $50/$60. FVRCP I didn't question as it was a low cost. Please learn from my experience and remember this $480 bill I received and be sure to comparison shop your local Vets. Not all are created equal. www.featuredmedia.com

Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Ge ing through the winter
The top five items tonight on my local news channel were automobile crashes caused by slick road surfaces. And these weren’t just little fender benders, although there was one of those that happened in a store parking lot. These five crashes produced crushed cars, serious injuries and yes, in one case, death of the occupant of the vehicle ... all because of the condition of the roads.
And while I hate to think of myself as a coward, more and more there are things I just don’t want to risk.
I check the weather news for the temperature before I venture out by car. If it’s too cold (or will be by the time I get home), the roads could be slick. Black ice is hard to see but once your vehicle is on it, there’s no steering. Too cold and I just stay home.
During a recent storm we had yet another power outage. I keep thermometers in the fridge to keep track of how warm the temperature gets. For iffy items, I just don’t take the chance that they might have gone bad. While several sources say to be sure the foods have stayed below 40 degrees in the fridge, the CDC puts a specific time limit on it: four hours in a refrigerator without power. After that time, throw it out.
Instead of waiting for a warm day (which isn’t going to happen soon) to melt the ice and snow on my walk and driveway, I hire someone to clear it, and I just pay the cost, even though it’s not a welcome expense.
And in case you’ve never looked it up, it appears that over the age of 45 is when we’re advised not to shovel snow because of the risk of heart attack! For me, 45 was a very long time ago!

Major Amie Feroleto
A TRAILBLAZING LEADER IN THE NEW YORK STATE POLICE
On January 2nd, Major Amie P. Feroleto made history as the first female commander of Troop A in the 107-year history of the New York State Police. As the 28th leader of the troop, she oversees all patrol and investigative operations across Western New York’s eight counties, managing a force of more than 400 sworn and civilian personnel. Her appointment marks a significant milestone in law enforcement and “sets an inspiring precedent for future leaders in law enforcement.”
A Journey Shaped by Family and Community
Born and raised in Castile, Feroleto’s path to law enforcement was not initially planned. A graduate of Letchworth Central School, eyeing a career in business management or human resources, she grew up in a family deeply involved in the community, with her mother serving as a foreign language teacher and her father as a retired State Corrections Lieutenant. It was her father’s encouragement that led her and her sister to take the New York State Police entrance exam, a decision that would ultimately shape Amie’s career (her sister is now a NYSP Lieutenant at the NYS Intelligence Center and her brother recently retired from the Air Force).
Feroleto earned her undergraduate degree in Business Administration from SUNY Geneseo in 2000 and earned a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice at the University at Albany two decades later. She credits her passion for lifelong learning as a driving force behind her continuous professional development, including specialized training in law enforcement leadership, emergency management, and critical incident response.
Outside of work, Feroleto prioritizes time with her fiancé and three boys, sharing a love of sports and outdoor activities like hiking, boating, kayaking, and just relaxing on Silver Lake. She is also an active member of the New York State Police so ball team, embracing the competitive spirit and camaraderie of the team while promoting teamwork and morale in a different capacity.
A Career Defined by Dedication and Leadership
Feroleto’s 22-year career has been marked by diverse assignments across multiple troops and roles. She began as a field training officer in Steuben County (Troop E), then as a trooper in Plattsburgh (Troop B). Over the years, she climbed the ranks in Troop K (Westchester and Putnam Counties) and Troop D (Oneida, Herkimer, and Madison Counties), eventually becoming Administrative Captain in Canandaigua (Troop E). Her experience also includes time in Professional Standards Bureau and Communications, as well as special assignments including the State Fair Exhibit, State Police Summer Program, Child Seat Technician role, Promotion Exam Detail, and the Master’s Program.
Reflecting on her career trajectory, Feroleto says, “When I started as a young trooper, my long-term goal was to achieve the rank of Lieutenant, following in my father’s footsteps. Once I reached that milestone, I set my sights on something new, becoming the first female Major in Troop A. Now that I’ve reached that goal, I’m taking time to appreciate the journey and the people who helped me get here before deciding what’s next.”
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Change
Like many in law enforcement, Feroleto has faced challenges, particularly in balancing career and family. Taking time off to raise her children posed concerns about falling behind, but she says she “reminded [herself] that raising a family was just as important as [her] career,” and she “made a conscious effort to be present for both.”
She has witnessed significant changesinthefield,particularly regarding women’s roles. With national representation of women in policing historically at 11%, initiatives such as the 30x30 Initiative—aiming for 30% female recruits by 2030— are helping shi the landscape. Feroleto is deeply invested in these efforts, advocating for more women to pursue careers in law enforcement, and she said she’s “seen a noticeable rise in female recruits and leadership… the shi is encouraging… diversity, especially in leadership, is critical to strengthening our organization and enhancing how we serve our communities.”
Inspiring the Next Generation
As a mentor and leader, Feroleto emphasizes the importance of diversity in law enforcement. She recalls cutting her hair off before the academy to blend in, only to realize that the profession needs individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives. “If you have the dedication, integrity, and perseverance to pass the background, physical fitness exams, and psychological evaluations, then you belong in this profession. ere is no single ‘type’ of officer; what matters is your commitment to service and your ability to do the job with honor.”
She also recognizes the significance of her position as a role model for young women considering a career in law enforcement. “I once read that ‘you cannot be what you cannot see,’ and that resonates deeply with me. I want other women to see women in leadership positions and know that leadership roles are not only attainable but something to aspire to.”
Feroleto is inspired by her colleagues, whom she says, “ ey are my motivation every day.” She seeks to recognize and appreciate officers’ service, sacrifice, and responsibilities, “fostering an environment where professionalism, growth, and service are prioritized.”
Looking Ahead
As Major of Troop A, Feroleto remains focused on fostering professionalism, mentorship, and excellence within the New York State Police. She is committed to strengthening community relationships through initiatives like the Special Olympics and organizations such as New York Women in Law Enforcement (NYWLE) and the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLE).
Her personal and professional goals remain intertwined—whether leading her team, coaching or cheering on her children, or bringing law enforcement and the public together in community initiatives, she seeks to continue making a positive impact on those around her. With her historic appointment, Major Amie Feroleto paves the way for future generations of law enforcement officers, proving that leadership, service, and perseverance know no bounds.

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.

Honoring search and rescue dogs
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m writing to ask if you can call attention to search and rescue dogs, who do heroic work every day -- from the recent fires in southern California to avalanche rescues and more. I just think they’re amazing. -- Carlo in Missoula, Montana
DEAR CARLO: You’re absolutely right: Search and rescue (SAR) dogs do amazing work nearly every day in the U.S. and around the world. They are unique, highly trained working dogs, often specializing in types of rescue or recovery.
SAR dogs must be energetic but even-tempered, as they often work long hours in chaotic environments. They must be confident, motivated and responsive to their handler. Most are selected when they’re puppies, after a period of observation and interaction, and not every SAR candidate makes the cut, even at this early stage. Training can take at least two years, and most SAR dogs retire before they’re 9 or 10 years old, as the physical requirements can be demanding.
There are two types of SAR dogs: air-scenting and trailing. An airscenting dog detects and follows airborne or wind-borne scents over a large area (up to 150 acres or a quarter mile in some instances) and follows them as close to the source as possible; cadaver dogs are one example. They frequently work off-lead and return to their handler to lead them to the source. A trailing dog can discern a specific scent, such as that of a missing person, and follow the exact track of that scent; they usually work on-lead with the handler, proceeding more slowly.
These dogs are so effective that they’re used in 70% of rescue missions worldwide, entering dangerous areas ahead of human teams to pinpoint survivors.
So, hats off to search and rescue dogs! And to their dedicated trainers and handlers.

COMMON CONDITIONS THAT CAN AFFECT DOGS
Fleas: Fleas are parasitic blood-suckers that reside on the coats of pets. Scratching, hot spots, hair loss, and tapeworms (which are carried by fleas) can be symptomatic of flea infestation. Some people may notice actual fleas on their dogs, while others may identify the flea dirt against a dog’s skin. Flea prevention medicines and medicated shampoos can help keep fleas at bay.
King CROSSWORD
THE CHALLENGES CLIMATE CHANGE POSES TO AGRICULTURE Drought: The National Integrated Drought Information System reports that the primary direct economic impact of drought in the agricultural sector is crop failure and pasture losses. The Government of Canada notes that areas of western Canada are already experiencing frequent and severe droughts, and scientists expect other areas of the country to be affected by drought more often in the years to come. The same goes for the United States, which the UCS notes has already dealt with severe drought in California, the Great Plains and the midwest. Depleted water supplies are a byproduct of drought, and such depletion can take a toll on crops and livestock.

Bird Lover Is Troubled Over the
Possible Transmission of Bird Flu
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have two bird feeders off my back deck. They hang from tall poles as a vain attempt to keep squirrels from eating all of the birdseed! But to refill them, I must take them down and handle them, and I recently wondered if I might be exposing myself to the new bird flu.
Is there any information about this possibility? Any possible transmission of the virus might have occurred to other bird lovers, too. -- J.F.
ANSWER: The songbirds you are attracting to your feeders, such as cardinals, sparrows and woodpeckers, are not likely to be infected with avian influenza (“bird flu”). It generally infects waterfowl such as gulls and ducks.
Most experts do not recommend taking down your feeders but do recommend a periodic cleaning of feeders and baths with a diluted bleach (10%) solution. You should wash your hands after refilling your feeders.
Those who keep poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese or turkeys (which may also be infected by bird flu) should not use feeders or baths that attract wild birds.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I see commercials about different kinds of pillows, asserting that they are better for you medically in various ways, especially with enhancing your sleep experience. This implies to me that conventional pillows can be bad for you. Is any of this true? -- W.R.G
Q. Q. A. A.
ANSWER: No, I wouldn’t say that conventional pillows are bad for you. However, there is evidence that in people with chronic neck pain, pillows made with latex or springs have been shown to reduce neck pain, waking symptoms and disability. They also enhance the satisfaction that people have with their pillows, but studies taken as an aggregate did not show an improvement in sleep quality. It seems that the height and composition of the pillow can affect the alignment of your neck bones.
If you aren’t having any problems, there is no reason to change. But if you wake up with a sore neck or have chronic neck pain, a special pillow might help, although I doubt there is one pillow that is right for everybody.
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
DID YOU KNOW? If the 1927 song “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream” by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll and Robert A. King is correct, then the world has been a noisy place for quite some time. Though the exact origins of ice cream are unknown, historians agree this popular treat has been around for a very, very long time. The International Dairy Foods Association says the origins of ice cream may reach as far back as the second century B.C. Though he wasn’t around back then, the fifth Roman Emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 A.D., might have been so fond of iced treats that he routinely sent runners into the Apennine Mountains to retrieve snow that he would then flavor with fruits and juices. That tale might be apocryphal, but there’s no denying ice treats have been enjoyed for a long time. And based on a 2018 report from Grand View Research, Inc. that projected the global ice cream market would reach roughly $79 billion by 2025, it’s fair to say ice cream will remain popular for a long time to come as well.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the U.S. Department of Labor and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, registered nurse is the most common occupation for women in the United States labor force. Slightly less than 2.1 million women worked as registered nurses in 2017, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Such figures are harder to come by in regard to Canada, but Statista reports that the labor participation rate among women in Canada in 2018 was right around 64 percent. That rate marks a slight decrease from its 21st century peak in 2005, when 66.7 percent of women were active members of the Canadian workforce. In the United States, more than two million women worked as secretaries or administrative assistants in 2017, making these professions the second most common occupation among female workers. Elementary and middle school teachers was the third most common occupation for female professionals, employing more than 1.9 million women in 2017. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau also indicates that women have the lion’s share of jobs in an assortment of professions, including preschool and kindergarten teachers, secretaries and administrative assistants, childcare workers, and dental assistants. Women hold at least 92 percent of the jobs in each of those professions in the United States.
Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. e two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
