Whats happening

By Brian [email protected]@brianatfreeman on Twitter

Dont let their thick fur coatfool you, animals are susceptibleto the cold, said Dr. Edward De-cort a veterinarian at KingstonAnimal Hospital.

You should not let any anima lbe outside for any extended pe-riod of time in this climate, De-cort said.

He said this includes cats anddogs that people consider an out-side pet.

He said many of things thatmake the cold dangerous to hu-mans, like frostbite, can happento animals as well.

Think of time you wouldspend outside, he said. Ani-mals have exposed skin aroundthe ears, nose feet, tips of theirtail and their belly and abdomenare thinly haired.

They can get frostbite ontheir ears, nose, and on the padsof their feet, he said.

Animals can even get hypo -thermia, he said.

We had a cat that was leftout at night when the ownersfeel asleep, he said. When theywoke up a few hours later theircat was hypothermic, he said.

He said the best idea for catsowners is to keep their cats inside.

Beyond cold temperatures,risks abound outside for cats

during the winter, he said.He recommends people to bang

on the hood of their car becausetheir outdoor cat or a neighborscat may take up shelter under thehood of a car for the warmth com-ing off the engine, he said.

In areas where there are lotsof feral cats we actually have

people who open up the hood ofthe car before they get in.

The cold can be dangerous fordogs as well, he said.

Decort said this is especiallytrue for dogs that spend most oftheir time indoors and smaller toybreads like Chihuahuas, Yorkshireterriers, and other small dogs.

He said these dogs often dontlike to go outside in the cold lead-

ing to another problem, consti-pation.

We often get people who bringthese dogs in because they arehaving back problems, he said.It often turns out they are get-ting constipated because they arenot going out to go the bathroom.

Decort said he recommends

dog owners to keep an eye ontheir pet to make sure its tak-ing bathroom breaks.

For larger dogs that spendmore time outdoors, Decort saidhe recommends not shaving anydogs fur during the cold becausea thick coat helps the animal tobe able to better handle cold tem-

The method forpreserving food us-ing glass jars wassparked by a con-test sponsored bythe French militaryled by Napoleon

Bonaparte. TheFrench military of-fered a cash prizeof 12,000 francs to the per-son who devised a methodto preserve food for longperiods of time. French in-ventor Nicolas Appert wasresponsible for introduc-ing the heat seal process ofcanning in the early 1800s.He won the prize!

Later, glass jars came ofage. In the late 1850s1858to be exactwhen the Ma-son fruit jar was patentedby tin smith, John Mason,everything changed in theworld of canning. The Ma-son jar solved the food

preservation problem withthe use of a lid and rubberseal. Masons patent wasfor the machine that cuttin into threads making iteasy to manufacture a jarwith a reusable screw toplid. Masons sealing mech-anism comprised of a glasscontainer with a threadmolded top and a zinc lidwith a rubber seal ring wa spatented on November 30,1858.

Bacteria was killed byheating the jars in hot wa-ter and sealing the jar whilestill hot. The heat seal pro-cess gave glass jars an im-portant place in the collect-

ibles realm. Today, collec-tors look for glass canningjars, a lso called fruit jarsfor canning and for kitchendecoration in the antiquesmarket.

If you think onecanning jar is no dif-ferent from anothercanning jar, then,think again

Clamped GlassJars

In 1882, HenryPutnam of Bennington,Vermont, invented a glasscanning jar that used aglass lid and a metal clampclosure. Called lightningjars because they could beopened in a flash, the glasslids were popular becausethey did not present asmany contamination prob-lems as the common zinclids.

Many companies pro-duced glass canning jars:Lustre, Climax, Atlas,Swayzee, Samco, etc.

The Buffalo, New York

family named Ball (theBall jar) headed by Wil-liam Charles Ball and hisfive brothers producedpaint and oil storage cans.From a new factory inMuncie, Indiana followinga fire at their Buffalo facil-ity, the Ball Company be-gan producing glass stor-age jars. Like Mason jars,soon Ball jars became ahousehold name. Whilethe majority of glass can-ning jars sell in the $10 to$75 range, a Ball Perfec-tion half pint glass fruitcanning jar sold recentlyfor $600 at auction.

While both Mason and

Ball took great strides inthe arena of glass canningjars, Alexa nder Kerr madecanning easier for thoseworking in the kitchen withhis introduction of wide

mouth/easy to fill self-seal-ing canning jars. His jarsallowed a threaded metalring to stay in place duringthe heating process. Thesejars could be quick ly filled

and re-used, too.When it comes to valu-able glass canning jars,look for embossed patterndecoration and letteringadvertising the origin andmaker of the jar, clear con-dition, no cracks or chips,and the original acces-sory lid, seal ring, or clamp.Happy canning and collect-ing!

peratures.He said for outdoor dogs

its important to have aproper shelter.

It should have an ele-vat ed plat form , dr y thickbe dd in g an d an ac ce ss

point that is able to beclosed to limit drafts, hesaid. Make sure their wa-ter doesnt freeze, and useplastic bowls instead ofmetal so their tongues dontstick.

If you insist on havingan outside animal, givethem access to a garageand give them a warm cor-ner, he said.

He said he can remembera case where an owner let adog out for hours in the coldwith a pile of leaves as itsonly shelter.

Thats asking for trou-ble, he sa id.

Ano ther impr oper shel -ter is a vehicle, he said.

Cars in this kind ofweather can cool down ver yrapidly, he said. Your an-imal can get permanentinjuries or even freeze todeath in vehicle.

These are domesti-cated animals, he said.We know that even wildanimals have taken a tollfrom this.

He said deer popula-tions have been noted to behigher after warmer win-ters.

Even walking their pet inthe winter can present dan-gers if owners are not care-

ful, he said.He said its very impor-tant to keep animals on aleash when its very coldand especially with a freshsnowfall.

They wont hesitate togo out on lakes and pondsand they could have po-tential to fall through,he said. Its important ifyoure walkin g your animalaround a partly frozen lakethat they stay of the ice andon their leash.

He said people should

be very c aref ul if they taketheir pet hiking with them.

If you hike with youranimal, and you have freshsnowfall, and they wanderaway from you, they couldget lost, he said. Theycan lose their trail or scentif a layer of snow has fallenover their tracks.

He said chemicals in roadsalt and deicing agents can

make pets very sick whentheir paws get irritatedfrom the salt and they at-tempt to lick it off, he said.

He said if dog owners seesymptoms like lethargy ordigestive problems shortlyafter salt trucks made theirrounds, its a good chancethat the animal ingestedroad salt.

The pet owner shouldbrin g their an imal to a vet-erinarian immediately, hesaid.

These are things youneed to be careful aboutwhen you walking you r an-imal.

But dogs and cats are notour only four legged friendsthat can be impacted bycold weather.

Domesticated farm an-imals like sheep, donkeysand horses can be adverselyaffected by the cold as well,said Glenn Daniels, an en-forcement officer at the Ul-ster County Society for thePrevention of Cruelty toAnimal s.

Daniels said, like dogsand cats, the most com-mon problem he sees is fro-zen water. He said he rec-ommends that farm animalowners should get a warmerfor their animals water.

Another importa nt thingis to provide proper shelterfor these kinds of animals,he said.

Smaller animals likegoats, sheep, chickens needto have shelter, he said.The group recommendsshelter for horses as well,

even though it is not re-quired by law, he said.

Its nice to see them getlike an insulated jacket orsomething, he said. Youwouldnt wa nt to sta nd outthere and be in the snowand ice either.

He said he sees a lot ofthree side lean-tos, whichhe said are not the bestshelters. But at least they

provides something for thehorse to get out of the wind,rain or snow, he said.

Daniels said the SPCAhas full police power to en-force laws relating to an-imal cruelty for animalsranging from cats anddogs, to fowl and horses.

But we dont like to useit, he said. If we hearof a problem, we try tofirst approach it as a con-cerned neighbor, and onlyuse prosecution if its abso-lutely necessary.

We have a great staffthat has knowledge thatranges from cats, and dogs,to reptiles and farm ani-mals, he said. Were fullyequipped. If anybody hasany questions about theiranimals or they see some-thing in q uestion, feel freeto call us at (845) 331-5377.

Lucy, a 10-month-old New HampshireRed chicken, winssecond place inthe Weirdest Petcategory. LyndaLewis writes, Herand her 6 sisters

came to our houseas baby chicks lastSpring. Althoughshe is making thebest o this snowywinter she preersto ree range inthe grass! She laysabout 5 eggs aweek and they arethe best!

The Weirdest Pet category is weird because

nobody really knows whos going to end up win-

ning. Strange expressions, unusual animals, odd

framing all contribute to the final results. This

year was no different. Case in point, a combina-

tion between the expression and photo framing

made Oliver, a one-year-old guinea pig owned

by Heidi Baschnagel, this years Weirdest Pet.

In second place was Lucy, a 10-month-old New

Hampshire Red chicken owned by Lynda Lewis.

Jake, a quarter horse who is around 25 years old

and owned by Marti Wikane of West Camp, took

third place.

Hard lessonshave been learnedof late

Under harshweather conditionsNew York City sub-way and bus ridersdo not care if oneis old, feeble andor obviously in dis-tress. If theyre sitting ina disabled/elderly seat ona crowded train or bus,too bad theyre NOT get-ting up.

In the last severalweeks I ve not seen ONEperson help a mothercum stroller and infantthrough slushy intersec-tions or up and down sub-way sta irs. T heyre invar i-ably trying to maintaintheir own balance and/or dry shoes and cant bebothered with a nybodyelses problems.

The lack of respect andconsideration for the el-derly or infirm on the nar-rowed sidewalks (be-cause theyre only par-tially cleared) is flagrant,as they fill the whole side-walk in chatter ing pha-

lanxes, oblivious to canes,walkers, grocer y carts a ndstrollers.

The never ending, con-stant onslaught of awfulweather i s stressing thefinancial fiber of the cit-ies. Everybodys runningout of salt and sand forthe streets, paying over-time they cant afford

and watching bud-gets go completelyhaywire. Airportsare in a constantfrenzy of cancel-lations; there arescattered poweroutages and aflow of complaintsfloods the emer-

gency telephone wires.But the weather has

also totally stressed thesocial fabric of the city.Eye contact on the streets

is extremely rare. Why?Because making eye con-tact means one mighthave to help someone else,or give up that disabledseat, or acknowledge thatsomeone else is in as muchtrouble.

Granted, some of thatnon-eye contact is be-cause everyone is spend-ing so much time lookingat their feet, to avoid theblack ice patche s or themushy puddles when itswarmer.

The first time I ven-tured out to walk a mile,the amount of time I spenttrying to find ways around

slush or mounds of iceboulders at intersectionsprobably took up a major-ity of the hour I was out.I ended up only walkingabout three-quarters of amile as the crow flies, butI probably walked morethan a mile because of allthe detours and re-rout-ing I had to do at intersec-

tions.The worst was all the

time I spent waiting andstanding around in thewind and cold. W hy? Be-cause once I found (withmy son helping me) thequickest, easiest, driestway across, we had to waitfor all of the younger, moreagile oncomers to bulltheir way through, withouta single thought for the ob-viously frail a nd somewhatshaky older woman with

young man.Funny thing was, itwas my son who madeME wait for the thought-less rushers! He was sohorrified by the nastyway p eople were actingtoward each other that hespent all of his time beingthe most polite, thought-ful, helpful person on thetrain or bus, or at themessy intersections.

Poor guy was trying tomake up for the bad behav-ior of a city full of stressed,exhausted people!

The last storm has comethrough and it appearsthat maybe for the next

week we might catch a realbreak.

I wonder which willcome first: the snow finallymaking an exit, or thestress levels subsiding?

5/5

Do you recognizethe names Guy Pe-rillat and MiloradCavic? They camein second to Olym-pic gold medalistsJean-Claude Killyand Michael Phelps,respectively, each bya single hundredthof second. Or as itscalled in the real world, atie.

If the time clock wasmeasured in tenths of asecond, or even fiftieths ofa second, Killy and Peril-lat would have tied in the1968 Winter Games. Theyboth would have receivedgold medals and becomedarlings of the 60s jet set.Phelps and Cavic mightboth be starring in Sub-

way commercials ifthey had tied in the100-meter butterflyin London in 2012.Instead, Cavic lostby 0.01 of a second.

By contrast, Us-ain Bolt won the goldin London by beat-ing Yohan Blake inthe 100-meter sprint

by just over one-tenth of asecond, and even to the un-trained eye, it was an obvi-ous victory. It wasnt evenclose. You could see whowon easily, without debate,no photo finish required.

There are a great manygood things about keepinghyper-accurate time. Itsgood for training and itsgood for the record books.But in competitions, hy-

persensitive timekeepingmakes being 0.01 of a sec-ond behind the winnersomewhat like being a So-viet politician in the ColdWar who falls out of favor.Youre removed from thehistory books; your name isnever spoken again. You be-come a nonperson.

Sports seems to be oneof the few human endeavorsthat hates a tie -- someonehas to win. Why? A lot ofpeople would go to a moviethat starred Julia Robertsor Meryl Streep. But theywould also go to a moviethat starred Julia Robertsand Meryl Streep. Theyreboth winners. There is nosecond place. In show busi-ness, there are lots of win-ners; hundreds of stars can

walk down the red carpetat the Academy Awardsand theyll all get the over-the-top celebrity treatment.But if gold and silver Olym-pians walk into an event,the silver medalist may aswell be in the witness pro-tection program for allthe attention he wont get.Hell never see his face ona Cheerios box; he wont bein TV ads; he wont get asmany sponsors.

Contestants that getkicked off Survivor ontheir very first week will geta publicist and an agent topaw through their offers toappear on morning showsand at state fairs. It getseven stranger if you com-pare someone who comes insecond at the Olympics to,

say, the 71st best TV sports-caster in the country, whois treated like the Sun King.He doesnt have to be first,second or third best. He justhas to be on TV. People takehim to lunch, they send himtrinket-loaded swag bagsand he plays free rounds ofpro-am golf at all the bestcourses. He gets asked forautographs and begged toheal sick relatives with hismagic touch. But he thinksthat the guy who comes inthird in the downhill is abum -- someone who didnttry hard enough.

Now, dont misunder-stand me: Im not for lower-ing the standards of sports.Trying your hardest andnever giving up are admi-rable qualities, but most of

us do that every single daywithout expecting a medalfor it. For the gold, you cantjust be good at something-- you have to be the best.Most gold medalists win byremarkable margins; theydominate their competition.

If Phelps and Cavic hadtied, Phelps still would havecome home with a remark-able and record-breakingeight gold medals -- a per-formance that may never beduplicated. Killy would stillhave the three golds he wonin 1968 as well as a couple ofWorld Cups. Nothing wouldchange for those two, but itmight have for their com-petitors.
