Danbury Senior Center 419-798-4101 Our Annual Rummage Sale went off without a glitch. This is a great fundraiser we do

to help provide assistance to those in need. Our seniors at Danbury work very hard

to raise funds to help out those in need and to give a Danbury High School Senior a

scholarship. I would like to thank all the seniors for all their hard work. If they aren’t

helping here, they are out helping the community.

Please see our calendar for our daily lunches and special dinners. We are s&ll doing

our Bingo games on the 2nd

and 4th

Friday evenings. This is a big hit, and fun is had by

all. Wishing all a safe and warm summer.

Summer is almost over. I think everyone has had enough of the rainy days. What

nice weather we had for the Port Clinton 4th of July ice cream social last month.

Praying that the rain holds off for Senior Day at the Fair. It’s always so much fun

seeing the seniors at the local Ottawa County Fair. Will the rain hold off for the

Port Clinton Senior Picnic at the Lakeview Park? The picnic will be held on Friday,

August, 7th from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Lunch served at noon. Entertainment will be Mark

Wilkins. Enjoy the rest of your summer

Let’s Hear It for SUMMER! We have been keeping busy! July found us at a Mud Hens game and the Ottawa County Fair, plus

exercising in Genoa and performing Chair Yoga in Elmore!

Staying active is such a great thing as we age; it can mean a healthier life and a more interesting

life if we get out and DO things!

Yes, we still hear from our health professionals, and we still try to eat healthy, but we can do so

much more. Even solving puzzles and singing along with the radio can enrich our lives. In July we

watched some nostalgia on the big screen TV and talked about what memories that held for us.

We are looking forward to observing a court session in August and gearing up for the Annual

Elmore Chili Cook-off in September. We are even contemplating a trip to the Casino!

Don’t miss a great time with the West Enders; come join us!

Stay Cool! Cindi & TomCindi & TomCindi & TomCindi & Tom

A great shout out to Yardworks for sprucing up the Planter around the front

sign. The seniors appreciate having it look really nice.

Even with a busy 4th of July, our participants showed up in record numbers

the first week of July and are maintaining a busy schedule for both July and

August. When they have company, many bring them as guests to Senior

activities.

A Mainland Shopping Trip was a real treat for a few seniors in mid July.

We’ll publish next month how the ‘Pizza Party’

planned for 7/27 goes. We encourage participation in all activities

and are always on the lookout for new people. We hope others

find time to join us as we offer a varied schedule and additional

events.

Remember to check the Senior Center Facebook page

or the bulletin board @ the Center for updates as many events

are not planned far enough in advance to get them published

in the regular monthly schedule. And don’t forget Monday Blood

Pressures and the 60+Clinic. Please call 419 734 6800 to make the

appointment for the Clinic. It takes place on the 4th Thursday of every month.

Orv Cornwell-Genoa, Ken Sheets-Genoa, Winnie Chasteen-Elmore,

Shirley Hensel-Elmore, at the Mud Hens Game

On July 1st a small but determined group of West Enders braved

the traffic in Toledo and attended a Mud Hens game. The Hens

were off their game, but we had a great time! Hot dogs, chips, pop,

and good company made the day a great success, as you can see by

the smiling faces!

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Songwriters Written in 1908 by Vaudeville star singer and songwriter Jack Norworth, the music was added by Albert Von Tilzer. Neither the lyricist nor the musician had ever been to a baseball game before, and the song was about wishing to attend one, imagining what it would be like. Later, in 1927, Norworth wrote a new verse to go with the already popular chorus. He attended his first baseball game in 1940, where he watched the Chicago Cubs play the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Seventh Inning Stretch Initially, the song became popularized through Vaudeville shows. Although countless versions have been recorded through the years, it wasn't brought to an actual game until 1971, when Baseball announcer Harry Caray first led the crowd in singing the chorus during the seventh inning stretch at a Chicago Cubs game. Artists Who Have Recorded "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Harvey Hindermeyer, Carly Simon, Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, and others.

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" may be one of the most universally known and enjoyed folk songs in America these days. In her memoir Sing It Pretty, musicologist Bess Lomax Hawes describes folk music in its purest form as the songs we all know, but don't remember learn-ing. By that definition, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is an excellent example of a folk song.

You want your pet to look good and feel good. But if he’s suffering from atopy — an allergic skin reaction –

neither is the case. The itching can make your dog or cat miserable, and redness, rashes, bleeding, and skin

infections are worse. They can be caused by environmental allergies, which typically can be treated with a

range of things, from removing known allergens from the environment to antihistamines and supplements to

immunotherapy or immunosuppression, depending on the allergic reaction and the pet.

Atopy (also referred to as “atopic dermatitis” and previously known as “allergic inhalant dermatitis”) is a

common canine and feline condition in which allergens present in the environment effect an allergic reaction

in the skin. It is one of several known causes of allergic skin disease, a common umbrella term for a group of

allergies that manifest in the skin. Atopy is believed to happen when certain proteins present in the environ-

ment are taken into the body through inhalation or direct contact with the skin. When they precipitate an aller-

gic response, these proteins are referred to as allergens. When the allergic response happens in the skin, the

result is almost always an inflammation of the skin we refer to as “allergic dermatitis.”

Common allergens include pollen (from grasses, trees, and weeds), mold spores, house dust/house dust mite

proteins, insect proteins, and other miscellaneous proteins that may also come from human skin or natural fi-

bers, for example. Atopic animals will display highly individualized responses to one or more environmental

allergens.

Animals with atopy become very itchy; the resultant scratching leads to skin injuries and secondary skin in-

fections. Atopy is usually first noticed in dogs and cats younger than 3 years of age, although older pets can

also be affected. Unfortunately, pets that develop atopy are usually plagued by skin problems throughout their

lives.

Atopic dermatitis is characterized by the variable presence of itching, redness, pustules (infected pimples),

wheals (like hives), and crusts. The face, legs, feet, ventrum (belly, underarms, and groin), and ears are most

often affected, but no area of the body is off limits. In dogs, ear infections are very commonly associated with

atopy.

Cats usually display signs of excessive licking in a symmetrical pattern (on the belly, back, and behind the

legs is most common) and/or they can develop tiny scabs around the neck, tail base, or elsewhere on the body.

A hallmark of atopic dermatitis is that signs tend to be seasonal and tend to wax and wane in severity. How-

ever, pets that are allergic to house dust mites or other indoor allergens can have year-round problems, be-

cause exposure to indoor allergens is not dependent on season of the year.

Most pets are diagnosed based on signs, history, and response to treatments, but getting to a definitive diagno-

sis can be a complicated affair. Given that every affected animal suffers a highly individualized version of the

disease, determining what an animal is allergic to may require intradermal (skin) testing and/or serum testing

(blood testing).

Intradermal skin testing can sometimes be performed at your veterinarian’s office. However, because the al-

lergens used for this test are very specific your veterinarian may refer you to a veterinary dermatologist.

Usually, an area of fur is shaved from your pet to expose enough skin to perform the test. Tiny amounts of

each test allergen are injected using very small needles just under your pet’s skin in different areas. After a

brief waiting period, your veterinarian will examine the injection sites to measure the degree of local allergic

response (redness or a small hive). Allergens that your pet is not allergic to will not cause a reaction and aller-

gens that your pet is allergic to will cause a reaction that corresponds to the severity of the allergy. Pets are

monitored carefully during the procedure in case a serious reaction occurs and treatment is required.

The other type of allergy testing, serum allergy testing, is becoming more popular. The test is performed at a

laboratory using a small blood sample taken from your pet so that your veterinarian does not need to shave

your pet or have special allergens on hand. As with intradermal skin testing, the results of serum allergy test-

ing can reveal which allergens are not causing an allergic reaction in your pet, which ones are causing a mild

reaction, and which ones are causing a more serious reaction.

Skin Allergies

Dr. Stone Pet Corner cont…

Depending on which type of allergy test is performed, you may need to discontinue your pet’s allergy medications

before the test. Otherwise, the test results may be affected. Your veterinarian will tell you which medications can

be used and which ones may need to be discontinued.

Any breed of cat or dog may be affected by atopy, but in dogs it is most prevalent among Boston Terriers, Boxers,

most Bulldog breeds (particularly English Bulldogs), Cairn Terriers, Shar-peis, Dalmatians, English Setters, Gold-

en Retrievers, Irish setters, Labrador Retrievers, Lhasa Apsos, Miniature Poodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Pugs,

Scottish Terriers, West Highland White Terriers, and Wire-Haired Fox Terriers.

Four categories of treatment have been described.

1. Avoidance (removing allergens from the environment or changing environments altogether). This is typically

undertaken only after a list of allergens is identified via blood or intradermal testing.

2. Symptomatic therapy (as when using antihistamines, fatty acid supplements, medicated shampoos, and antimi-

crobials for common secondary bacterial and yeast infections) is the most commonly recommended approach to

treatment, especially for pets with mild clinical signs.

Antihistamines: Drugs like diphenhydramine have few side effects compared with some other therapies. However,

some pets will not respond to antihistamines alone. Avoid giving human drugs to your pet unless directed to do so

by your veterinarian.

Fatty acid supplements: Special fatty acid supplements may help reduce skin inflammation and are often used in

combination with other medications.

Topical treatments: Medicated shampoos, leave-on conditioners, and ointments can relieve a pet’s itching or help

with secondary conditions such as fungal infections, bacterial infections, and scaling. Treatment should be repeat-

ed frequently for best results, but be sure to follow all label directions carefully. Avoid the use of human products

on pets unless they are recommended by your veterinarian.

3. Immunotherapy (using specific allergens to desensitize a pet to the proteins)

Once a list of “problem” allergens is identified via blood or intradermal skin testing, a specialized “serum” con-

taining small quantities of these allergens can be formulated specifically for your pet. Through injection of small

amounts of the allergy serum over time, many pets experience a reduced response to the allergens.

This treatment, called immunotherapy, generally must be continued for several months to years to achieve results.

With immunotherapy, the pet owner generally administers the allergy serum injections at home. If you are uncom-

fortable with giving injections, ask your veterinary care team if the injections can be given at your veterinarian’s

office. The first injections are more diluted, and each following injection has a slightly higher concentration of the

allergens. Your veterinarian will schedule the injections according to specific guidelines — more frequently in the

beginning, and eventually tapering to one injection every few weeks. Many pets respond to this program. Others

may not, especially if they have other underlying conditions.

4. Immunosuppressive therapy (with corticosteroids like prednisone, cyclosporine, or other drugs)

Unfortunately, some pets’ atopic disease cannot be controlled by any of the above approaches and their quality of

life may suffer drastically unless more intensive drug therapy is initiated.

Steroids: Drugs like prednisone or dexamethasone, which are called corticosteroids, are often used because they

tend to be very effective and safe for short-term use. These medications can be given by injection, by mouth, or as

topical ointments or shampoos. Corticosteroids can provide immediate relief but may have undesirable side ef-

fects, such as increased appetite, thirst, and urination. In some cases, repeated or long-term use of steroids can be

associated with an increased risk of medical problems such as liver problems, adrenal gland problems, and diabe-

tes.

Cyclosporine: Cyclosporine can be used to control atopic dermatitis in dogs and allergic dermatitis (including ato-

py) in cats. The medication is given once a day for 4 weeks (4 to 6 weeks in cats, based on response). After that,

the dose can be tapered to every other day or twice weekly, as needed to maintain effectiveness. Researchers esti-

mate that over 70% of dogs and cats respond to this treatment; however, cyclosporine can be costly, and its side

effects may include stomach upset and diarrhea. Ask your veterinarian if cyclosporine may be a good choice for

your pet.

Many of the therapies described here can be used to control atopy over the long term. Avoidance of problem aller-

gens may be the best way to prevent flare-ups for dogs and cats with atopy.

Are you password protected?

Today, passwords are needed for everything from email to bank accounts. Strong passwords are essential to protecting your information and your mon-ey. On the other hand, weak passwords can unlock a treasure trove of both personal and financial information about you for anyone to see.

A strong password is one that is difficult for hackers and scammers to guess. A weak password is one that is easy to guess. Examples of commonly used weak passwords are “123456” and the word “password.” While both of these passwords are easy to remember, they also are easy to guess. To create a complex password, use at least eight characters and a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Also, stay away from easy-to-guess passwords, such as your child’s name, birthdate, or address. An easy way to create a complex password is to use the first letter of each word in a familiar phrase, and add a number at the end. For example, if you used the phrase, “I married my wife Sally in 1985!” your password would be, “ImmwSi1985!” Now you have a password that’s easy to remember but hard for potential hackers to guess. Never use the same password for multiple websites. If a hacker discovers a password used for one account, the hacker could use that password to access other accounts that use the same password. Additionally, it may be helpful to keep passwords written down, but be sure to store them in a safe place away from your computer. In addition to creating strong passwords, consider using “two-factor authentication” to help pro-tect your accounts. Two-factor authentication requires a password and another step to verify your identity. For instance, some websites require a password and then an answer to a question, such as “What is your current zip code?” This adds a second line of defense. Along with passwords, mobile device passcodes are extremely important. Many people keep valuable information on devices such as cell phones and tablets. While these portable devices are convenient, they can easily be misplaced or stolen. Putting a passcode on your device will help protect your information should it ever become lost. Also, be leery about storing passwords electronically, especially on mobile devices. Below are some additional tips to protect yourself: • Never give your password to anyone, especially someone who

contacts you unexpectedly. Scammers may “phish” for your pass-words by calling and pretending to be your bank or a government agency. Know that these entities will likely not call you requesting your password.

• If you learn that your password has been breached, change your password on other sites where you use the same password. Re-member to use a different password for each of your accounts.

• Update your passwords regularly. This could be as simple as changing the numbers at the end of the password, but keep in mind that passwords shouldn’t remain the same forever.
