Animal trainers can address any type of behavior. According to the Animal Behavior Institute, trainers who work with dogs, cats, parrots, or other companion animals must have a thorough and detailed knowledge of animal behavior. Pet owners who have successfully housebroken puppies in the past may think they can do it again with relative ease, but no two puppies are the same. Techniques that worked with one dog will not necessarily work with another. Trainers recognize this and have an array of techniques within their arsenal, making them capable of addressing and correcting any type of behavior. Thisis

Man Experiences Symptoms of Excess Thyroid After MRI

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a male who is 58 years of age. I recently had an MRI of my cervical spine, and just this month, I had a CT scan of my whole abdomen. Since then, I have had symptoms of dry eyes, weight loss and insomnia. I wondered if the contrast dye used for the MRI or CT scan can cause hyperthyroidism, as these are common symptoms for excess thyroid hormone. Do you think that I have hyperthyroidism? -- G.L.

Q. A.

ANSWER: You are quite right that all these symptoms are commonly seen in people with excess thyroid. The weight loss is due to the increased metabolism of people with excess thyroid hormone. Insomnia is also common for similar reasons. Palpitations, tremor, anxiety, frequent bowel movements, and heat intolerance are all classical symptoms of excess thyroid hormone.

You are also right that the iodine-containing dye from CT scans can precipitate hyperthyroidism in a person who is destined to get it.However,the risk of this occurring is low. There is no increased risk of thyroid disease with MRI dye. You could, indeed, have hyperthyroidism, and if you saw your doctor, you would very likely be tested. (I would certainly do so if I had a patient with these symptoms.) My experience is that these symptoms are not specific to thyroid disease, and it is probably some other cause. So, I would not be surprised if your thyroid tests were normal.

Q.DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently got married again after being single for six years and have had five urinary tract infections (UTIs) in 14 months. My primary care doctor, a urogynecologist, and a urologist have all agreed on estradiol cream. I was basically put on this treatment for a prolapsed bladder and to build up my vaginal walls since I am sexually active again.

After reading your recent column about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in older women, I am concerned since I underwent menopause 20 years ago (instead of under 10) and just started this treatment two months ago.

I might add that I had not had a UTI for 50 years prior, but vaginal dryness may be contributing to these UTIs. My doctor has not recommended a progestin, but I have also been introduced to taking a cranberry supplement once a day in tablet form to keep bacteria from multiplying.

Would you have recommended the same treatment knowing that I have not had a period for 20 years? -- L.E.

ANSWER: The risks from estrogen replacement in postmenopausal women are from systemic estrogen -- meaning estrogen that gets absorbed into the blood. This includes estrogen pills and patches.

A.Topical estrogen, such as vaginal creams, rings and gels, are not wellabsorbed in the body and do not significantly increase the risk of heart disease, which is the major reason that I recommended caution to women who underwent menopause more than 10 years ago.

Similarly, progestins need to be used in women with a uterus when they’re taking systemic estrogen -- but not topical estrogen. (Topical estrogen is absorbed slightly in women with atrophy of the vaginal lining, so it is always worth a consultation with an oncologist for women with estrogen-sensitive tumors, such as breast cancer.)

I don’t generally advise systemic HRT more than 10 years postmenopause, but there still may be some times when it’s appropriate after a thorough discussion between a woman and her doctor. In your case, however, the risk of heart disease, breast cancer or blood clots is negligible from topical estrogen.

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. © 2026 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

SENIOR NEWS LINE

en it’s time to change doctors

Now and then, not too often but sometimes, you hear that audible click and come to the realization that you need to change doctors. Maybe it’s because once again you don’t feel like your doctor is really listening to your concerns. Maybe it’s because once again tests are ordered without you getting a clear explanation about why they’re necessary. Maybe it’s because your health concern doesn’t seem to be getting better. Maybe it’s because you see the physician assistant (PA) when you expect to see the doctor. Or maybe it’s just because you have a gut feeling you should go elsewhere.

Whatever the reason, if the time comes to make a change, it won’t be easy if you’ve been with your current doctor for a long time.

Your first step, once you’ve decided to do this, is to “interview” another doctor. You’ll need to call around to see who’s taking new patients or inquire among friends for recommendations. Then check out the doctor online with reviews by other people. Look at Healthgrades (www.healthgrades.com). Or do an online search with the doctor’s name.

Be sure the doctor is in your insurance network and make an appointment. Go in with a written list of questions and make notes.

When you find a doctor you’d like to see in the future, you’ll need to have your records transferred from the old doctor. And that’s where I part company with advice I was given. I’m told that it’s best to transfer your records to a new doctor before you go to the first appointment. You’ll need to decide for yourself. My preference was to meet the doctor first before records were transferred, and to not let the current medical practice know I was leaving until I was certain.

If you find the right doctor, the difficulty will be worth it.

King CROSSWORD

“Orly’s first post was of him standing under the Erie Canal culvert in Medina, and right away it sparked interest and got people excited.”

The Ox Who Stole the Show ORLEANS COUNTY’S WHIMSICAL BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

In rural Western New York, Orleans County turned 200 years old in 2025, a milestone that big deserved a major celebration. Early in the planning process, the county’s Bicentennial Committee asked a key question: How do we celebrate 200 years of history in a way that feels meaningful and fun?

e answer came in an unexpected form: a friendly ox named Orly.

e ox was selected as the county’s official bicentennial mascot to honor an o en-overlooked animal that played a critical role in Orleans County’s early development. In the early 19th century, oxen hauled wagons, cleared forests, dug sections of the Erie Canal, and helped transform wilderness into farmland and growing communities. In many ways, the ox helped lay the foundation for the county itself, making it a fitting symbol for the 200th anniversary.

Once the ox was chosen, a committee member suggested taking the idea one step further: turning it into a character. Tom Rivers, editor of the Orleans Hub and a Bicentennial Committee member, pushed for using the ox as a mascot to tell the county’s story in a fresh, engaging way. Local seamstress, Robyn Watts, brought the vision to life and created Orly the Ox. Little did anyone know, a star was born. Orly made his debut in late 2024 to launch the bicentennial. He first appeared in Christmas parades in Medina and Albion, traveling alongside the Bicentennial Committee’s parade float, an ox sculpture painted by local artist Stacey Kirby. e sculpture was part of the county’s “Oxen of Orleans” public art project, which encouraged organizations to purchase and paint their own oxen.

What began as simple parade appearances soon evolved into a full-fledged creative storytelling project. roughout 2025, Orly became both a historian and a friendly ambassador for the county through daily posts on the Orleans County Tourism social media pages. Five days a week, residents followed along as Orly visited landmarks, attractions, and lesser-known spots across the county. Each post featured a photo and a brief write-up highlighting the history or significance of the location.

Rivers worked closely with tourism staff to make each post both informative and engaging. He says, “It was a different way of seeing things that were 200 years old. Orly’s first post was of him standing under the Erie Canal culvert in Medina, and right away it sparked interest and got people excited.”

rough Orly’s travels, residents discovered sites they may not have noticed and connected with stories that shaped their communities. History came alive in a playful, memorable way. Orly dressed as Abraham Lincoln, climbed the 68-foot tower at Mount Albion Cemetery, explored cobblestone and Medina sandstone structures, highlighted historic markers across the county, and visited off-the-beaten-path spots that are o en overlooked.

Orly’s adventures weren’t limited to history. From kayaking, cycling and hydro-biking along the Erie Canal to sledding, fishing, skateboarding, and playing basketball, pickleball, and baseball, Orly tried it all.

He quickly became a fan favorite. Orly appeared in three local television news segments, took part in numerous parades, most notably serving as grand marshall of Albion’s annual Strawberry Festival parade, and even rode on the Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief as a VIP guest in September 2025, when it arrived in Medina on its historic journey from Buffalo to New York City.

Share your original stories about local heroes, community events, school achievements, or hidden gems–email your story idea to hometown@featuredmedia.com

Orly’s daily posts and travels in 2025 can be seen on the Orleans County Tourism Facebook and Instagram pages!

Public engagement extended beyond official events. rough the “Flat Orly” social media challenge, residents colored printouts of Orly, took him on adventures, and shared photos online. Flat Orly traveled far beyond Orleans County, appearing in New York City, Iowa, Canada, Las Vegas, and more.

Catherine Cooper, Orleans County’s historian and chairwoman of the Bicentennial Committee, helped guide the celebration from start to finish. She says, “ e goal with Orly was to link people in the present to the past and show appreciation for the effort it took to settle this area. at effort was symbolized by the oxen, their muscle, strength, and determination. at’s what Orly represents: determination and survival.”

As 2025 came to a close, Orly surprised his fans again. While many were sad to see the daily posts end, the story was far from over. e Bicentennial Committee announced Orly would be joined by a brother named Scout, who will appear alongside him at events in 2026. Sporting a patriotic vest, Scout will help Orly celebrate America 250, a celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary.

Orly’s year-long adventures showed that history doesn’t havetobedistantordull.Twohundredyearsofhistory,told through the eyes of a friendly ox, proved that sometimes the best way to honor the past and celebrate the present is with a little whimsy and a lot of heart.

OLD SAILING TERMS STILL USED TODAY

A grateful customer

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping at my local Tops Market in Dansville. One of the customer service fellows named Jacob saw me exit the store and came to my car to help me without me even asking and put my groceries in the car. Now that is an act of care and concern for an 87-year-old lady. What a blessing he is not only to the grocery store but also to their customers. Bless his heart.

ank You!

I’d like to thank the Branchport ambulance team for their quick response on December 23. I can’t say enough about them. It’s wonderful to have such great people serving Branchport. Thanks again for your many kindnesses. You’re a great team. ~ Mrs. Johnson

Question

If your sump pump is a giant hole outside near your septic lines, and your sump pump runs water to the ditch that runs by my home, would there be a possibility of this water being contaminated with septic lines running right next to the sump pump?

Town Park

Recently, our town decided to install a disc golf course on an existing lighted and fenced baseball field. Since the park has existed I have never seen nor heard of a game played there. The town is proud that most of the hundred thousand dollars to build the golf course was from a state grant. They seem to think the public doesn’t realize that grant money still comes from taxes. What must any outsider think as they pull into this park with a baseball field and disc golf course combined? And then add to the ridiculous basketball backboard menagerie. I am sure there will be crowds gathering to play disc golf in the spring. Why do they waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on parks that no one uses just to say they do something with tax money. And, oh yes, besides giving themselves raises!

Holiday lights lend extra sparkle to the gloom

It seems more neighbors are keeping holiday lights up around town this year. I don’t know why that is, but I just wanted to say Thank you. It’s so pleasant to drive home (in the dark nowadays!) and see the twinkling lights instead of just boring streetlights. So pretty.

Winter

I loved to play in the snow as a child

Build snowmen ,snow forts and sled down Tiger Hill

I’d lay on my back to create a snow angel

And getting a snow day off from school was a thrill!

I’d go ice skating on the frozen Flint Creek

And on the pond behind my grandma’s house

All you’d hear was the sound of my blades on the ice e world around me was quiet as a mouse’

Now I am grown up and if the weather is bad

I can choose to stay inside if I do not need to go to a store

I look out the window and recall the fun times at I had in the snow as a child once more!

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On Jan. 29, 1845, Edgar Allan Poe’s famous poem “The Raven,” beginning “Once upon a midnight dreary,” is published in the New York Evening Mirror.

I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.

~ Andrew Wyeth
