A Tribute to the Greatest Generation HAPPY NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY!
Grandpa Eugene
In honor of National Grandparent’s Day on Sept. 13, I thought I’d share a fact that’s always made me feel very lucky: I knew all four of my grandparents when I was young. There’s no doubt in my mind that grandparents have a profound effect on our lives; their wisdom, grace, and support can inspire us to have more confidence in our future. I know that’s certainly the case with my grandparents. On my mother’s side, I have Matthew and Laura Carey, and they lived on a farm in Burke. Grandfather Carey was a passionate farmer but also a very quiet man. Faithful and righteous, he died when I was fairly young, but I recall his demeanor well. Grandmother Laura was an extremely hard worker. She worked in the Tru-Stitch Factory for over 40 years. When she wasn’t working, she was helping Grandfather Carey around the farm. I’d visit her on the weekends, and I always looked forward to those visits because Grandma Laura’s treats were amazing. On my father’s side, I have Eugene and Martha Poupore. They were also dairy farmers, just like Grandfather Carey and Laura. They started out in a little town called Churubusco, but Eugene Poupore was a savvy businessman and eventually decided to move to Malone. Before I get into that, though, I should clarify that while my memories of Martha are limited, her presence in our family was important. Like Laura Carey, she was a very hard worker. She was born in Quebec, and spoke a combination of French and English. I mostly remember her cooking all of the time, feeding the day’s farm workers. Despite her early death, Eugene would still be the
most involved in my life and made some of the greatest impacts on me personally. He always had a way of making me feel like I was the most important person in the room. That’s just one of his many qualities that still inspires me today. When Eugene and Martha moved to Malone, he founded Poupore Dairy (which is now run by his grandsons and is called PAPAS Dairy). Poupore Dairy was a successful venture, but Eugene was always a down- to-earth guy. When competing dairy farms kept the milk prices fluctuating constantly, he started a Chateaugay co-op for dairy farmers so they could all work together to regulate milk prices. Then, he bought even more businesses in Malone. One of his most well known was Kelly’s Dance Hall, especially back in 1946. Out in the country, there were dances every Saturday night, and they served burgers and hot dogs without any alcohol. Everyone in town knew about it and would go there to dance. Some of my patients still remember it and tell me of their memories there! Eugene was no stranger to the importance of a good party. The Poupore Dairy farm always hosted our largest family gatherings during the holidays. Millions of grandchildren would run around while their parents played card games that’d go on for hours, and you never felt out of place with Eugene striking up a conversation with you. I grew up watching Eugene both in business and with our family. He was the great negotiator. He used to buy old buildings and then sell the treasures inside (kind of like todays version of "American Pickers") as a side business from the farm. One time
there were some very fancy grand piano legs that an auctioneer was looking to buy in an old home that Eugene had purchased. There was no piano, just the very ornate legs! When the auctioneer asked him how much they cost, he said, "Oh, those aren't for sale!" Later, he told me that if the man really wanted them, he would ask again and he could get a better price. The man DID ask again, but Eugene never did sell the piano legs because he really didn't know what they were worth and didn't want to lose out on something that was potentially valuable! One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned from him was when he told me: “You know what, Kevin? Never want to buy something more than they want to sell it! If you want it too much, you'll always pay too much. You have to be willing to not want it!” That’s why when I shop for something that I really want, I pretend I don’t really want it so I get a better deal. I convince myself to keep an open mind! That advice has really helped me throughout my life, preventing me from overspending and making fair monetary decisions. After Grandfather Eugene died, our daughter Kelly was born a few weeks later — directly on Eugene’s birthday. So, we gave her the middle name "Gene" after Eugene Poupore. Mindy and I think that grandparents are very special, and even when they’re gone, they’re a constant source of inspiration. May we all give the grandparents in our lives a little extra love this September, whether in person or in memory. –Signature

Head Back to School Stress-Free
Turn Your Entryway Into a Command Center
“Has anyone seen my backpack?” “Dad, did you sign my permission slip?” “Mom, I can’t find my shoes!”
This is the household anthem heard on school mornings across the United States — a chaotic rush of tracking down shoes, throwing together lunches, and racing to the bus stop. What if there were a stress-free way to make sure everyone in your family had everything they needed to walk out the door each morning? Believe it or not, it’s possible! And it all starts with turning your home’s entryway into an organized command center. Get hooked on coat racks. Building an entryway command center starts with coat racks. You should have enough hooks for every member of your family to hang their jackets, backpacks, and purses. It’s also good to have some extra hooks just in case. Get your family in the habit of hanging their belongings in the entryway rather than trailing them through the house. Create a clever shoe solution. Keeping your shoes by the door ensures that on busy mornings, the left shoe isn’t in the bedroom while the right shoe somehow ended up in the playroom. However, shoes can quickly pile up into a mess of their own. If there’s space in your entryway, cubbies or labeled storage bins are a great solution to make sure each kid has a designated spot for their shoes. If you don’t have storage space by the door, a wall-mounted coat
rack is a great workaround. Install the rack close to the floor and have your kids hang their shoes on the hooks when they come in.
To your battle stations, everyone! Make sure each member of your family has a designated spot to put their belongings in the command center, including you. Sure, you might not have homework to keep track of, but what about your keys? Your parent battle station can include a bowl for keys, a tray for new mail, and a calendar to help you monitor your weekly schedule at a glance. Organizing your entryway won’t magically make school mornings stress- free unless you consistently utilize the system. Kids will need to build the habits of leaving their shoes by the door and returning their backpacks to the hooks after they do their homework. So stick to the plan, be patient, and take it one day at a time.
Get Away to the Lake
DON’T FORGET TO SPEND SOME EXTRA TIME BY THE LAKE BEFORE SUMMER ENDS
The Chateaugay Lake Spending a few nights down at the Chateaugay Lake is a very fun, relaxing experience. It’s a popular spot for camps as well as lake homes! It’s an especially exciting venture if you can go boating. The Upper and Lower Chateaugay Lake are connected by the Chateaugay Narrows, which can easily be navigated by boat. There’s also a couple of small islands to explore, a lakeside restaurant, and a sandbar that’s only accessible by boat! The Rainbow Lake and Rainbow Narrows If you’re into paddling or fishing, don’t forget to drive out to Rainbow Lake and the Rainbow Narrows this year! Many paddlers say the Rainbow Narrows are some of the most beautiful waters they’ve traversed on. Treat yourself and your loved ones to a beautiful, quiet fishing or paddling experience on these remote waters. You could also go camping, as there are four tent sites on the shores of the lake.
Since the recent pandemic, the real estate industry in Malone — specifically near our gorgeous
lakes — has breathed with new life. Many people want to get away from the tight quarters of metropolitan parts of the state, and it’s no secret that our landscape and accessibility to dozens of lakes from Malone is attractive. As locals, we ought to enjoy the best spots! So, we thought we’d do a little feature on some of our favorite lakes near our town for your next weekend outing. Lake Titus Among our many lakes, one of our most known and historical is Lake Titus. Although it was 9 miles south of our village in Malone, Lake Titus was remote for a long time until being purchased by Henry B. Titus in 1830. You’d be amazed by how beautiful the lake homes are, which you can rent or stay a night or two in. Visitors often find that the lake is kept very clean and the community around the lake is friendly. Its close proximity to Titus Mountain also is very convenient for weekend trails!
We hope these have given you a few ideas on weekend lakeside getaways! Have a beautiful rest of your summer!

How to Thoroughly Check Your Oral Health Tongue Much like the gums, the tongue should always be pink. It should also be covered with small nodules called papillae. Discoloration of the tongue, like white spots, could be a sign of infection or a side effect of diabetes and asthma medications. A red tongue could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency or an indication that you have a fever. Sores and bumps on your tongue — or on your gums and the insides of your cheeks — may need to be treated with medication if they don’t go away on their own. Breath Bad breath can be embarrassing, but it can also be an indicator of an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Healthy breath should be naturally neutral, meaning there shouldn’t be much scent to it at all. Bacteria breed in the presence of food particles, and it’s these bacteria that cause stinky breath. Eating pungent foods may cause bad breath temporarily, but if it continues even after brushing or using mouthwash, this could be a sign of other issues. A thorough check of your or a family member’s oral health may require a few extra steps, but it’s well worth your time. No one knows your mouth better than you, but if you have an issue, then you should always tell us here at Dr. Poupore's office because no one knows oral hygiene better than we do!
KNOW YOUR MOUTH While you should never attempt any type of dental procedure or oral cleaning with professional tools at home, it is important to be aware of the overall health of your mouth. Whether you’re between visits to your dentist or haven’t scheduled an appointment in a while, look for the following signs to help you decide if it’s time for a trip to the dentist. Teeth Strong teeth are the first sign of a healthy mouth. Determine whether or not yours are strong by checking for loose teeth, pain, sensitivity, or discoloration other than the yellowing that occurs with age. It doesn’t mean your teeth are unhealthy if they aren’t perfectly straight, but make sure their alignment isn’t causing issues with the way you bite, chew, or relax your jaw. Gums For the most part, healthy gums are always pink. They should be firm around each tooth and not tender, swollen, red, or white. Where the gums naturally sit on the tooth varies from person to person, but if you start to notice your gums receding more than normal, this could be a cause for concern. If your gums bleed while brushing or flossing, it could mean you’re not doing either often enough or are being too rough, or it may indicate other health issues.

3 ACTIVITIES TO KEEP YOU BUSY Stuck Inside?
Summertime means getting out of the house to enjoy the sunshine and the bright blue sky. But even during this great time of year, you may have to spend some of these precious days inside, not outside. Rather than scrolling through social media or reminiscing about better days, here are a few ideas you can use to turn a day spent indoors into a fun summer memory! Get Crafty You’re bound to have a few materials floating around the house that you can use to create a new art project or even start a new hobby. If you have extra sheets of paper lying around, then give origami a go. Do you have a shirt you don’t wear anymore but still love? Turn it into a new pillow cover or a bag. You can also create fun garden decorations by painting rocks, making a wind chime, or repurposing an old boot into a new plant holder. You never know — whatever you choose to do could become your next passion. Plan Your Next Vacation Spending the day inside might just be the perfect time to plan your next vacation. Use this time to calculate the expenses of the trip,
such as travel, board, food, and souvenirs. You can also research and figure out where you’re going to stay ahead of time, whether that be a hotel or an Airbnb, to optimize your experience. Once you have the groundwork done, you’ll have a better idea of how your trip will go and be able to focus on the fun stuff when the time comes! Change It Up If you’ve been putting off rearranging or reorganizing a room in your house, then a day at home is a great chance to get started. Switching up the layout of your stuff gives your home a fresh new look and provides you with an opportunity to deep-clean your space. If you have a patio or porch, then try sprucing up those outdoor spaces with new furniture, potted plants, or trendy decor. Just imagine how satisfying it will feel once everything is in a new place and sparkling clean. Even when you’d rather be outside enjoying the last days of summer, these indoor activities will keep you entertained and give you something fun to look forward to!
