The blood pres-sure clinic will be on Wednesdays

As we head into spring a lot more outsid-ers are coming into Cambridge to try to take advantage of our homeowners. Be-side trying to scam you by telephone and emails, using threats for not paying a bill or trying to convince you that you have won a large amount of money, and the only thing you have to do is send money to them for processing. Groups are driv-ing around with pickup trucks, carrying ladders and chainsaws to trim your trees. These groups will tell you they are li-censed and insured,” which they are not”. And they try to convince, you by pressure, to get as much money from you. You, as a homeowner, will be responsi-ble if they are hurt working on your property. Most of these groups only cut down the trees and place them on your property in the front of your home and do not take away the material. “DO YOU KNOW IF MARTIN COUNTY RECYCLING BECOMES AWARE, EI-THER BY PHONE CALL OR THE RECY-CLING TRUCK’S DRIVER, THAT THE TREE WAS CUT DOWN BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOU, THEY WILL NOT PICKUP YOUR LANDSCAPE MATERIAL ON YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS REMOV-AL” . TAKE THE TIME TO ASK THE COMPA-NY OR PERSONS FOR PROOF OF LI-

CENSE AND INSURANCE AND A COST ESTIMATE OF THE WORK BE-ING DONE. IF THEY DON’T GIVE YOU ONE, SEND THEM AWAY. Another issue that has come to the Board’s attention is trying to contact per-sons on the emergency contact list of homeowners. We have found the emer-gency numbers on record at the associa-tion office are not up to date. We are ask-ing all homeowners to contact the office and update the emergency contact infor-mation. If an emergency arises, we will not be able to contact the persons you have designated to contact if their tele-phone numbers have been changed from the number originally listed by you. Please notify a neighbor if you are leaving for an extended period of time. This will relieve everyone’s mind that you are o.k. We are trying to amend the Phase 1 Cov-enants to comply with Phase 2 & 3. Pres-ently Phase 1 has an 18% interest penal-ty for not paying your assessments on time, while Phase 2 & 3 Covenants pay only 10%. We expect to have a commit-tee of homeowners come to your home in Phase 1 with a consent form to approve the change to the Phase 1 Covenants which will require your signatures. If we do not receive approval of 2/3 of home-owners in Phase #1, then the 18% inter-est rate will remain on Covenant 1. The Board is presently involved in many changes to benefit our Homeowners As-sociation. We have a great Board willing to listen and to make Cambridge a place

to enjoy,

My wife Marj and I give a hats off and three cheers to Linda Neeld and Melissa Rice and their group of vol-unteers who did such a wonderful job of up-grading the pool area. In our 33 years in Cambridge it has never

looked better. Larry and Marj Drew I don’t go to the pool much, but I am so appreciative of all of the volunteers who have devoted their time and effort in updating the pool area. The colors are just beautiful and the new plaques and umbrellas add to the décor. Thanks again for taking the initiative to im-prove our pool area. Judy Ricker A special thank you to Chuck and Charlie for the great fix of my mailbox. It looks wonderful. Eleonore Schussmann

I’d like to briefly thank everyone who worked on the fashion show. I truly appreciate your talent and co-operation in getting this show put together and mak-ing it a success.

Thank you so much,

CAMBRIDGE LUNCH BUNCH Bea Clock/Marty Scheuermann

I'm trying to keep the law away from harassing golf cart owners and eventually passing out expensive tick-ets. Your cooperation is required. I've witnessed two conditions that would attract their attention and more than likely result in the owner being penalized. 1) I witnessed a golf cart with two adult ladies casually driving down Constitution between Hummingbird and Gavel. They turned right on to Gavel at which point I flagged them down and advised them that they should not drive their golf cart down Constitution. They should only use Constitution as a crossover, going, for example, from Shenandoah to Independence. Do not drive from Shenandoah up Constitution and then turn right to get to Independence. Stay off Constitution other than to cross over to another Cambridge Street. Constitution side-walks are also illegal to operate on. Martin County has a law that states golf carts are only allowed on sidewalks that are 8 feet wide. Our sidewalks are not near 8 feel wide. 2) I also witnessed 3 youths under age of 16 driving down Constitution on the sidewalk. This could surely result in the youths being stopped and the owner being ticketed. I personally would not allow my visitors young children to drive my golf cart. There are two many trage-dies that could result where receiving a ticket is the least of them. If they want a ride then let an adult drive them. I read an article in today's PB Post News where a elderly lady was taken again for that IRS scam. I can't say enough times, if you get a threatening call from someone identifying themselves as the IRS saying that you owe back taxes and will be arrested if you don't pay right away. HANG THE PHONE UP. 100% of the time it is a SCAM. If you are alone and are frightened by the caller, hang up and call me (546 8982) and I'll come to you and insure you that all is OK. These people pry on the elder-ly. Thanks for listening to me Joe Chippari

HEALTH NEWS By Peggy Caye

CARING FOR AN UPSET STOMACH Queasiness, vomiting and diarrhea can make you miserable. Signs and symptoms such as these are usually due to a virus or other stomach bug that lasts only a few days. Persistent symptoms, which can be due to medications or an underlying problem, deserve your doctor’s attention. But for the occa-sional episode, the following may help you feel more comfortable and prevent dehydration: Avoid solid foods for several hours until you feel

a little better. Suck on ice chips or take small sips of water,

weak tea or broth. Sip often to prevent dehydra-tion.

If you’re feeling nauseated, try sipping water simmered with fresh ginger, sucking on ginger candy or taking a ginger supplement (500 to 1,000 milligrams). Some studies show that gin-ger helps relieve nausea after surgery or chemo-therapy.

When you start to feel better, gradually add foods back into your diet. Foods such as crack-ers, toast, broths and soups, bananas, rice, noo-dles, and boiled vegetables are generally easier to tolerate.

For the next several days, stay away from spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol. Avoid taking medi-cines such as aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, since they can irritate the stomach.

If you’re losing a lot of fluids because of vomiting or diarrhea, call your doctor, who may recommend an oral rehydration solution. Severe cases may require receiving a rehydration solution through a vein (intravenously) in the hospital.

DOG CONSTIPATION AND HOW TO TREAT IT Dog constipation is defined as the inability to defecate nor-mally. Much like humans, older dogs are more prone to this condition, though it can happen to any breed of dog at any age. Constipation in dogs should not be ignored, as extended periods of distress can cause serious health concerns. What To Watch For A constipated dog, especially if it is well-trained and evacu-ates at regular intervals daily, is described as being constipat-ed if it is experiencing difficult bowel movements and physical distress. (In addition, severe diarrhea and colitis may lead to straining.) Grass particles, matted feces, string, or other ob-jects in or around the anus is also indicative of constipation. The size of the feces will be abnormally small and once the condition has progressed, lethargy, vomiting, and loss of ap-petite may develop. Primary Cause The most common cause of dog constipation is swallowing objects that are not easily digested, if at all, such as a piece of dry bone. However, it can also be caused by: Slower intestinal processes Enlarged prostates Concurrent kidney disease Hernias Simply swallowing grass or hair Immediate Care If you can see a thread or string in the anus, do not pull it. This can cause internal damage. Other important things to note: Always wear rubber gloves when dealing with feces and re-lated anal problems. If you can see grass in the anus, gently ease it out. If feces are matted around the anus, trim carefully with scis-sors. (For long-haired dogs, see below.) Wash the anal region with warm, soapy water and apply a soothing, water-soluble jelly (such as K-Y) to the inflamed area. Take the dog’s temperature. If it is abnormally high or there is blood on the thermometer or resistance when inserting the thermometer, see your veterinarian immediately (within 24 hours). Long-haired dogs, especially small ones like Yorkies and Lhasa Apsos, can become frantic with the discomfort caused by matted feces around the anus and the trimming process. You may need to soak the dog’s posterior in warm water be-fore you begin trimming to make it more comfortable.

Veterinary Care

Diagnosis Radiographs, abdominal ultrasound and blood work are some of the more common tests recommended for identifying the underlying cause of the constipated dog.

Treatment In some cases, a dog may need to be hospitalized and given enemas to remove or pass an obstruction located in the anus. If in doubt, or in the cases noted above, call your vet and have the dog examined. Fluids under the skin may be Continued on page 7…….

Continued from page 6…. Dog Constipation administered to ensure good hydration to the intestinal tract. In cases of intact males where the prostate is the cause of the constipation, castration will be recommended. And in severe cases of constipation, your veterinarian may administer fluids intravenously. Living and Management Some dogs have a history of periodic constipation, espe-cially as they get older. Adding a little mineral oil to the dog's meal can help in these cases. The proper dosage for a dog is 1 tsp for every 11 lbs (5kg). However, you should never administer the oil orally; if it ends up in the lungs, which can occur easily, it can cause pneumonia. Your vet-erinarian may also recommend stool softeners as well as fiber supplementation to assist in the intestinal transit. Prevention Although it is natural for a dog to eat grass on occasion, this habit should be controlled as much as possible. Avoid giving your dog bones; substitute a nylon chew toy instead. Use purpose-made laxatives to soften the stool and above all else, provide your dog with water regularly. Neutering your dog at an early age will also prevent growth of the prostate, which can lead to constipation in dogs.
