Preserving Great Falls’ quality of life – largely by preventing overdevelopment, tamping down traf c and preserving the environment – is the top priority of the village’s residents, according to the Great Falls Citizens Association’s (GFCA) recent community survey. The resulting 23-page document, titled “Looking Forward to 2025,” was pro- duced entirely by the association’s leaders, and is loaded with data and graphics. “It continues our marching orders to serve the community,” said GFCA president Bill Canis. The group most recently undertook such a survey in 2007, and board members thought it was time to take the public’s pulse again. GFCA initially targeted the online survey at the group’s 985 members, then fanned it out to the larger community. A total of 327 residents from 5,391 house- A woman kayaks on the Potomac River near Riverbend Park in this 2019 photo.

Bad Breath in Pets Could Be Sign of Something More (StatePoint) – If you’ve ever experienced dry mouth, you know how uncomfortable it can be. Unfortunately, your pet can get dry mouth too, and it can lead to more serious issues down the line – and also can be a sign of more serious current health issues. Dry mouth is a condition where saliva loses its protective bene ts and leads to an overgrowth of odor-causing bacteria and plaque accumulation, as well as increases the risk of periodontal disease. While such diseases as diabetes can contribute to dry mouth in pets, the most common cause is medica- tion. What’s more, it is believed that medications increase the risk of de- veloping complications due to dry mouth by 40 percent. This side eect is far-reaching. Medications for allergies, anxiety, urinary incontinence, osteo-ar- thritis pain, heart conditions, high blood pressure and more all can contribute to dry mouth. While most pet parents are not aware their furry friends have dry mouth, because they may still drool even with the condition, watching Experts say that you don’t need medicine,” says Pamela K.
