From Shingles to Fillings WHAT ROOFING AND DENTISTRY HAVE IN COMMON
Brian R. Summers DMD, PhD Patrick V. Hagerty, DMD
When I started dental school, I felt a twinge of familiarity. Something about the practice was oddly similar to the summer I spent roofing when I was 18 years old. I had just graduated from high school in 1998, and I was looking for a job in the newspaper classifieds when I saw that the Springfield School District was hiring roofers for the summer. There were very few requirements for applicants, and I figured I was in the best shape of my life and therefore could

level of physical labor every day. Their work keeps our communities functioning and growing. Until you do the job, it’s hard to conceptualize just how much effort it takes. I also learned the value of a good work ethic and dedicating myself to improving something. As a dentist, I use what I learned in roofing every day. In fact, the mindsets of roofing and dentistry are eerily similar. Both roofers and dentists have to approach each task with the idea that we must get it right the first time. In dentistry as in roofing, the best way to measure how well our techniques and practices work is by putting them to use. After a few months, we can determine if the treatment has been successful or if we need to try something else. But we have to do everything in our power to avoid ineffective treatment. We have to be precise and attentive. Roofers have to be the same way. Because it’s such grueling work, no one wants to have to replace a shoddily placed roof. Roofing wasn’t my first job. (My first job was at Kenny Rogers Roasters. Remember those?) But roofing taught me lessons that I still use today. It wasn’t particularly mentally stimulating for me, nor was it the career I wanted to follow, yet I still value the lessons I learned from it and the people who do similar physical labor every day. That made it a great summer job — even if my body wasn’t so sure after one week. -Dr. Brian Summers
However, I wasn’t nearly as prepared as I thought I would be.
The first week of the job was brutal. I remember coming home after my first week just dog-tired. I was so sore, and I had severely underestimated how much physical labor was required for roofing, especially at the magnitude of this job site. We were roofing an entire school, which meant we were dealing with much larger panels than are found on residential roofs. We had to use our full-body effort to peel these panels from the roof and lay down new ones. To top it off, the summer of 1998 was one of the hottest on record. The roof temperature even hit 135 degrees F one day! Thankfully, I started adapting to the work. After that first week, I wasn’t quite as sore, and I started to really enjoy the job. I learned how to drive a 1965 Dodge dump truck too, and eventually, I was the person who drove the truck to the dump. You can imagine how great the dump smelled during the hot summer months. Still, not many people can say they know how to drive a 1965 Dodge dump truck and can successfully avoid narrowly tipping it into the dump. (That really almost happened.) To this day, I remember the lessons this job taught me. I have tremendous respect for those who work in construction and do this

ROSE SAYS GOODBYE AND BEGINS A NEW ADVENTURE Rose’s Round-Up!
A Meal for Every Member of the Family
MEALS ON WHEELS GOES THE EXTRA MILE
Meals on Wheels doesn’t often get the credit it deserves. The international nonprofit ensures those who are unable to buy or make their own meals get the food they need to survive. Of course, for many recipients, the efforts of the organization go far beyond “survival.” For those who receive food daily or weekly, those deliveries may be their only source of social interaction. And during times of social distancing, the program became more important than ever. Meals on Wheels doesn’t just serve meals to the elderly and people with disabilities — it also serves those people’s pets. In 2019, Meals on Wheels Atlanta realized there was a huge need in their community to feed the pets of senior citizens. It stands to reason that if an elderly individual is unable to shop or cook for themselves, their pets may be in a similar predicament. And when someone’s pet is their entire world, making sure the animal is fed and healthy means everything. In response to this need, Meals on Wheels Atlanta began stocking up on cat and dog food, creating their own pantry to serve the local pet community. When volunteers made their rounds delivering meals to seniors, they made sure to bring cat and dog food along too. One volunteer with Meals on Wheels Atlanta, Larry Auberbach, had a unique experience delivering meals to Jeffery Jones and his dog, Grizzly. The volunteer told 11Alive News in Atlanta that Jeffery and Grizzly “have their own special relationship.” Larry loved Grizzly long before Meals on Wheels Atlanta started the pet pantry because he saw how much Grizzly’s companionship meant to Jeffery. Now, Larry enjoys his service that much more since he gets to provide for Jeffery’s beloved pet, as well. On top of delivering food to seniors and their pets, Meals on Wheels Atlanta also delivers pet toys and pet beds, and they are happy to take in any pet-related food or items for donation. The organization says this endeavor was done out of love, not only for the people they serve but also for the whole family — wagging tails, fuzzy whiskers, and all.
Hi, everyone!
It’s Rose again, and I have some news to share. A few months ago, the Summers family was repeatedly taking me to Reid Veterinary Hospital because I couldn’t stop puking. Yuck! It was so gross. I found out that eating mushrooms from the backyard was the cause, but I didn’t want to stop eating them. The Summers family’s backyard is filled with these scrumptious little mushrooms that I just couldn’t help myself from indulging in! Unfortunately, I guess the mushrooms were also making me sick. I would stuff my face with these tasty morsels, but then I would feel sick for days afterward and puke for hours. The frequent puking worried the Summers family, and after many trips to the vet, they felt I was in too much danger in the backyard. They couldn’t stop me from eating poisonous mushrooms, no matter how hard they tried, and they came to the decision that I would thrive in a different home. That’s when the stars aligned. My first human mom, Rebecca, had a friend she went to school with whose French bulldog had recently passed away. That’s my breed! It was as if it was meant to be. As of this spring, I have moved in with my new family on the coast. My yard is smaller, and there’s a serious lack of mushrooms, but I am spoiled here! My new parents only have my fur brother, Gus, and me to worry about. We get so much attention! Plus, my new parents know a lot about my breed since they have raised French bulldogs like me before. I love my new family. I know this decision wasn’t easy for the Summers family, and I’m going to miss writing my bimonthly updates to all of you! But everyone can relax: I’m very happy with my new family. I will always be grateful to the Summers for rescuing me and giving me a great home where I could grow through my puppy stages. I couldn’t have asked for a better first home — mushrooms and all.
Goodbye, everyone!

We know how stressful it can be to get your kids ready for a new school year. Registration, summer reading, and back-to-school shopping take up lots of time, especially when you have other summer plans to tackle. You might not even want to think about getting your kids in to see the dentist before they go back to school, but there are so many reasons why making an appointment now is so much better than waiting. Save valuable time. If you think your kid’s summer schedule is hectic, then just wait until they get back to school! Summer sports and sleepaway camps have nothing on jam-packed days filled with sleepy mornings, hours of school, grueling homework, and after-school activities like sports. In the summer, kids tend to have a lot more availability for a visit to the dentist, so cleanings won’t feel like they take up as much time as they do during the school year. You’re saving time by doing it now because you have more time to spare. Don’t miss out. We’re sure there are so many other things you and your kids would rather do than visit the
harder to justify sacrificing that valuable time for a teeth cleaning. Schedule appointments now so your kids don’t have to miss a beat of important life activities later.
Prevent problems down the road. Scheduling an appointment now can prevent possible problems from getting
worse later. Teeth cleanings and X-rays help us determine the state of your child’s oral health so we can make sure it’s in great shape. If your child does have an underlying issue, then it’s much better if we catch it during the summer when there’s more time to address it, rather than waiting to discover it during the school year when it may be worse and require more time to fix. If you’re ready to schedule an appointment for your kids this summer so you can all get back to focusing on having fun in the sun, then give us a call at 541-926-3689.

You may have even told a few yourself before you realized knock-knock jokes had gone out of style in favor of sarcasm and memes. That’s because at their core, knock-knock jokes are a quintessential American experience — and the perfect homegrown fodder for International Joke Day, which falls on July 1. But where did they come from, and why do so many people knock the knock-knock joke today? Well, according to NPR, knock-knock jokes have had a roller coaster of a history. Near as we can tell, they actually evolved from another kind of joke: the “Do You Know” joke. This style of joke was popular in the early 1900s, and according to an Oakland Tribune article NPR dug up, this was a typical one:
Not very funny, is it? Well, over the years this style of back-and-forth jesting evolved into knock-knock jokes. The popularity of the “knock knock” bit of the joke could harken back to Shakespeare, who BestLife credits with “the first-known occurrence of a knock knock, who’s-there dialogue” in Act 2 of “Macbeth” (though
