BEGIN PLANNING KIDS’ SUMMER RECREATION NOW
Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters’ summer vacations.
Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Due in part to high demand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or summer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer.

TIPS TO FIND THE RIGHT LAWYER
Contact your local bar association. According to the ABA®, bar associations in most communities will make referrals according to specific areas of law. This can ensure people without much or any experience hiring lawyers find one with the right experience and practice concentration. Local referral services also may help, and the ABA® notes that many, though not all, have competency requirements for lawyers who wish to be referred. When speaking with a referral service, ask if they have such requirements in place and how frequently they reevaluate lawyers they refer.

Rapid heart rate persists for a decade without evaluation
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m a 75-year-old woman who, for at least 10 years now, has been experiencing a rapid heart rate. My blood pressure, however, remains normal. In fact, doctors are usually surprised at how good my blood pressure is since I am borderline obese and slightly diabetic.
During this past physical, my doctor did mention my rapid heart rate but didn’t recommend treatment or referral to a cardiologist. Should I insist on a referral to a cardiologist, or would this only bring me to more unnecessary testing? -- M.R.
ANSWER: I unfortunately hear about people (more commonly women) having a potentially serious medical condition that gets ignored for many years, and I fear this is the case with you.
In a person with a persistently fast heart rate (over 100 bpm), an electrocardiogram (EKG) is an essential first step. I suspect you may have had this done, but if you haven’t, this clearly needs to be done. Atrial fibrillation and some less-common heart rhythms need to be excluded.
It’s likely that you have “sinus tachycardia,” meaning that the impulse comes from the sinus node but is persistently too fast. The heart rate is supposed to be fast if you are exercising, and a fast pulse can often come on as a response to an infection or a loss of fluids. But I think that, after 10 years, you most likely have a condition called inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST).
Since you are writing to me, I assume that this is bothering you. Most people with IST note palpitations, but loss of endurance and decreased exercise tolerance are other common symptoms. Before getting treated, it’s important to make sure that there isn’t some longstanding cause, such as anemia or thyroid disease.
It’s also necessary to exclude the diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which can overlap with IST and seems to be much more common now, especially after a COVID infection.
I have had some success in prescribing exercise for carefully selected patients with IST. The cardiology literature recommends beta blockers or ivabradine to reduce symptoms and improve exercise ability.
Referral to a cardiologist is appropriate given your 10 years of not being evaluated. Even if you decide against therapy, making sure that there isn’t a serious problem is very wise.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions

HOUSEBREAKING PUPPIES
Arguably one of the most challenging - and often frustrating - components about puppyhood is training the dog to use the outdoors for bathroom needs. It’s easy to underestimate the time involved in housebreaking a puppy. The Humane Society of America says puppies typically can control their bladders for one hour for every month of age. That means if the dog is three months old, he can hold it for about three hours.
IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES
Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

Is my rabbit depressed?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I took over the care of a rabbit named “Chucky” a few weeks ago, after the previous owner, my aunt, passed away. Since he got here, Chucky has spent most of his days inside his hutch. When I try to take him out, he huddles tightly against the far wall. I don’t see him eat or drink during the day, but he does come out at night after I go to bed. Is he depressed, or is it something else? -- Jim F., Chula Vista, California
DEAR JIM: Chucky does sound pretty stressed out, and depression is definitely on the table here. He also may be having trouble adjusting to his new environment, and is missing your aunt, too. A stressed and unhappy rabbit is tense, staying in a down position with their ears flattened against their body. Their nose doesn’t twitch. They don’t hop around the cage freely, and they’ll hide away if you reach for them.
The first thing to do is establish care, if you haven’t done so already. Take Chucky to a veterinarian specializing in small animals (including rabbits) for a checkup, explain the circumstances, and detail his behaviors. The vet will rule out any underlying health conditions and can give you a wealth of advice on helping him be more comfortable and easing his transition to a new owner.
It’s important to be supportive and not force interaction at this time. Keep Chucky’s cage clean and fresh, change his water and food daily, and provide him with rabbit toys and chews strewn around the cage that he can explore. Talk to him in a soothing voice while you are near his cage. As he adjusts, he will gradually respond and feel comfortable with you.

Three-Peat Success
BYRON-BERGEN/LE ROY GIRLS SWIM TEAM SHINES AGAIN
eByron-Bergen/LeRoy(BBLR)girlsswimteamhasonceagain solidified its dominance in the pool, capturing their third-straight Genesee Region/Niagara Orleans (GRNO) championship title. With an impressive 372 points, BBLR demonstrated its strength by sweeping all three relay events and breaking multiple school records along the way.
Leading the charge, Anna Kent, Rena Wilson, Mikayla Yohon, and Lea Donofrio kicked off the meet with a victory in the Medley Relay, clocking in at 2:03.58. Senior Haylee Gartz set a new school record in the 50 Freestyle with a blazing 25.20 on the first leg of the 200 Freestyle Relay. Along with Yohon, Donofrio, and Kara Valdes, the team also broke the school record for the event with a time of 1:44.98. e 400 Freestyle Relay team— Gartz, Kent, Rose Wilson, and Valdes—secured another victory with a stellar 3:55.48.
Gartz’s outstanding performances earned her the honor of CoSwimmer of the Meet, winning both the 200 Freestyle (2:00.25) and the 100 Freestyle (54.77). Other notable finishes included Yohon’s first-place finish in the 50 Freestyle (26.27) and her second-place finish in the 100 Butterfly (1:06.59), as well as Valdes securing third in both the 50 Freestyle (26.77) and the 500 Freestyle (5:55.56). Kent also delivered a strong performance, placing second in the 100 Backstroke (1:06.58).
Coach Sara Stockwell, reflecting on the team’s remarkable achievements, emphasized the unity between the Byron-Bergen and LeRoy athletes. “Our team has been combined for several years, to the point that Coach Fix always jokes that he doesn’t know which school each kid is from. Once they get to the pool, they are one cohesive team,” Stockwell said. “ e girls team has been a powerhouse in the Genesee Region League for the past five years, winning the league championship meet five times in a row, winning the GRNO meet three years in a row, and not losing a dual meet since January 2021.”
Stockwell takes pride in the team’s dedication, noting that many swimmers balance academics, jobs, and other extracurriculars. “I love seeing these girls succeed because I know how hard they work at school and at practice. It’s so rewarding to see them do so well,” she said. Her advice to aspiring swimmers? “Never let fear decide your fate.”
GIRLS VARSITY SWIM TEAM FROM GRNOS, PHOTO CREDIT JULIE DONOFRIO
For the seniors, this season represents both the culmination of years of hard work and an unforgettable experience of camaraderie and triumph.
e success of the BBLR swim team extends beyond the pool, thanks to the encouragement of their coaches, families, and the greater community. As the team celebrates another record-breaking season, the legacy of their dedication, teamwork, and championship spirit continues to inspire the next generation of BBLR swimmers. With a history of excellence and a culture of perseverance, the future of BBLR swimming shines just as brightly as their latest championship trophy.
SENIOR REFLECTIONS:
KARA VALDES
LeRoy senior Kara Valdes, who has been swimming for four years and plans to study neuroscience in college, values the team dynamic. “As much as swimming is an individual sport and you’re constantly trying to get best times or a first-place finish, I think the best part about a great swim or a great meet is that we get to do it with our teammates,” she shared. One of her favorite memories was winning the GRNO Championships for the first time, seeing their dedication pay off. Valdes advises aspiring swimmers that “with the right mindset, hard work, and dedication, you can accomplish anything, and all the hard work you put in does pay off.”
LEA DONOFRIO
For Byron-Bergen senior Lea Donofrio, the team’s legacy is something truly special. “Not only have we made history and established a dynasty that will be hard for future teams to top, but we’ve also established a family and community surrounded by that championship drive that is even more rare to find,” she said. Having swum for four years, Donofrio credits her coaches with transforming her into a champion swimmer and a better person. Looking ahead, she plans to enlist in the Coast Guard, where her swimming skills will undoubtedly be an asset. To younger swimmers, she encourages perseverance: “Don’t give up because it’s a whole new ballgame once you get on varsity. Just stick with it and enjoy the ride.”
ROSE WILSON
Byron-Bergen senior Rose Wilson also cherishes the impact of team success. “It motivates me to show up every day for practice and put in my best effort,” she said, adding that she has been proud to represent BBLR positively, and the experience has given her both physical and mental strength. A er four years swimming for the varsity team, she will continue her athletic career at Roberts Wesleyan University, running cross country and track while considering a major in nursing. Her advice to younger swimmers? “Try new events—you never know what you could be great at until you try.”
MIKAYLA YOHON
Mikayla Yohon, another Byron-Bergen senior, emphasized personal improvement alongside team achievements. “Team success to me is having a winning season and building our name. However, individual success is about my personal times. I like to challenge myself and set lower goals,” she said. Yohon, who has been on the team since seventh grade, swimming varsity since eighth, holds three relay records and numerous first-place finishes. She plans to attend GCC for nursing and to swim at the collegiate level. “My favorite memories are breaking records, team dinners and breakfasts, our fun practice atmosphere, and all of our meets, especially the HAC invite.” Her advice to future swimmers? “Go to practice! Practice makes perfect.” She also suggests viewing swimming as “a race against yourself and nobody else.”

Yay Rebecca Yuhas in the Hometown Stories columnnew Master Teacher out of Newark. Our teachers often are under- or un-recognized, so it’s great to hear about teachers developing their skills and learning more and more about their craft so our children can learn from the best. Thank you, all teachers, for all you do for and with our students. Thank you for helping develop the minds of the next generation. We need you and we appreciate you!
To the young man who snowplowed our driveway today, thank you so much. You will never know how your act of kindness touched me. My husband has difficulty walking and our snowblower froze up this past week. My son and I shoveled the driveway three times this week but it didn’t stop either my husband or myself, or the Amazon driver from getting stuck in it. My husband has a doctor’s appointment this week and I’ve been worrying all weekend about getting stuck in the driveway. Your random act of kindness meant so very much. God bless you!

Not Salted To A-Salted
Perhaps you should hibernate at home all winter. NYS DOT (and I assume other departments) have a preset amount of salt to apply based on road conditions. Many go to shift work in the winter to cut down on overtime. Many towns have central locations for salt storage (do you also complain when you pass multiple school busses at the end of the school day?).
Remember, wet roads freeze as the temperature drops to 32F and below, creating black ice. The wind drifts snow across roads. Both require continued maintenance after the snow has quit falling to prevent accidents. If you want to take your vent to mother nature and request snow and ice falling only certain hours and days that would be awesome.
Thank you everyone who slows down for the snowplows!
It has been said our volunteer fire department has only one driver qualified to drive the biggest, most expensive truck they had to have and no one can answer a call until that person arrives to drive. That’s an irresponsible use of our tax money.

Don’t fall f Medicare scams
Medicare card scams are on the rise. During one calendar year, Medicare had over $100 billion in fraudulent claims,and the damage cost goes up when identity theft and stolen financial information are added in.
What the Medicare thieves want is your card number, and they’ll try any number of tricks to get you to reveal it.
Scammers might contact you to offer you a “cheaper” Medicare but will need your personal information to sign you up. Don’t fall for it. They might impersonate a Medicare employee and say that your card is about to expire and you need a new one.They’ll ask for your current card number and your personal information to verify it’s really you. (Wrong: Medicare cards don’t expire.)
Scammers might call and say that your Medicare benefits have been canceled, but claim they can help you get the benefits reinstated if you give them your personal information or even a fee. (Wrong: Medicare won’t communicate with you that way, and if they need to contact you, it will be by mail.)
Thieves might try to claim that your old paper card isn’t good now and that you need a new one with a chip in it, like a credit card. (Wrong: Medicare cards are only made of paper.)
They might offer you a refund of some type or something free, or you might be offered genetic testing. All you need to do, they’ll say, is give them your Medicare card number ... and your bank information for the refund.
Whether you’re contacted by phone, email or text message, don’t give out your Medicare card number or any of your personal or financial information.
As usual, if you suspect you have a scammer on the phone, hang up immediately. If you believe it was an attempt at a Medicare scam, call 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227) to report it.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the American Cancer Society, the average age at the time of diagnosis of testicular cancer is 33. Young and middle-aged men are the most likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer, though the ACS notes that 14 percent of cases occur in children, teens and men over the age of 55. The ACS estimates that roughly 440 men will die of testicular cancer in 2021. Though that’s troubling, testicular cancer can usually be treated successfully. In fact, the ACS notes that a man’s lifetime risk of dying from the disease is one in 5,000. However, the incidence rate of testicular cancer has been increasing in many countries, including the United States, for several decades. The reasons for that are unknown, though the rise in incidences underscores the need for men, especially young men, to discuss testicular cancer, including its risk factors and symptoms, with their physicians.

HOW CHOCOLATE BECAME TIED TO VALENTINE’S DAY
During the 17th century, chocolate consumption grew considerably across Europe. Chocolate houses cropped up in London, and the French elite often indulged in chocolate. Chocolate’s popularity continued to grow, but the dessert was not linked to Valentine’s Day until nearly 200 years later. In the mid-1800s, an enterprising individual named Richard Cadbury was looking for a way to make chocolate even more popular than it already was. He sought out a method to make drinking chocolate more palatable and created “eating chocolates.” These chocolates were packaged in decorative boxes. Eventually, Cadbury saw the benefit of putting images of cupids and roses on the boxes. Cadbury even designed chocolate boxes in the shape of hearts that could be saved as mementos. These chocolates soon became intertwined with Valentine’s Day celebrations.
