SAFETY IN NUMBERS: WHY IT PAYS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS IN PAIRS

When it comes to vehicle maintenance, the rule of two has long reigned among professional automotive technicians and driving safety advocates. In accordance to this rule, drivers replacing important parts in their cars and trucks, such as tires, brakes, shocks and wiper blades, should always do so in pairs.

Replacing parts in pairs can ensure vehicles are properly balanced and functioning safely. But it’s not just tires, brakes and other big-ticket components that should be replaced in pairs. Vehicle lighting plays an integral role in keeping drivers and their passengers safe, and motorists should exercise the same caution regarding their vehicles’ headlights, taillights and turn signals that they do when maintaining the rest of their cars and trucks.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

APRIL 16–22

Most often unpaid, volunteers generously donate a part of their lives to do the work that nobody else likes to do — cleaning up after the event, fostering shelter dogs, chaperoning field trips, or helping the librarian; there are so many areas requiring volunteers. This month, we salute them for their unwavering services to businesses and communities and hold aloft their examples to inspire young and adults towards volunteerism.

COLOR ME!

1974

National Volunteer Week and Month is first held in the United States.

FUN FACTS [ ]

It fills critical gaps

Millions

There are 1.8 million

organizations in the United States alone.

Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to host events or held programs as easily as we do today. Since most of these events are extremely important for communities and businesses, volunteers fill a critical gap in service.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Adopting an Older Cat Can Bring Unexpected Issues

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We recently adopted a 12-year-old orange tomcat. Abel is neutered and well behaved, but he has some health issues that we didn’t bargain for. He’s overweight (we’re working on it) and recently needed a tooth pulled. He gets ear and eye infections frequently. I’m not about to give him up, but I wanted others to know that a senior cat o en has more medical needs than younger cats. e tradeo is that he’s a sweet, gentle cat, well adapted to humans, and seems less inclined to escape from the house than a younger cat might. -- Kelly B., Salt Lake City

DEAR KELLY: ank you for sharing your experience! Abel sounds like a wonderful cat.

Senior cats, age 11 to 14, do need extra monitoring. ey o en have health issues speci c to older cats, and can be more susceptible to infections, bad teeth, etc. Pretty much all the same issues humans face as we grow old!

As you’ve noted, Abel’s diet is really important. Not just to lose weight and keep it o , but to make sure he’s getting the right nutrition for a senior cat. A cat food formulated for older cats is helpful, but owners should work with the veterinarian to determine the amount and type of food to give their cat each day. Lots of protein is a must, as this article by VCA points out: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/ feeding-mature-senior-and-geriatric-cats

Dehydration is another factor for older cats. Empty and re ll your cat’s water bowl each morning and monitor how much the amount decreases throughout the day to determine how much he drinks.

Finally, monitor your cat’s litter box habits. Write them down and take them to the next vet checkup to make sure there are no hidden health problems cropping up.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

STAY SAFE WHEN

Failure to wear protective gear can lead to injury. Personal protective equipment includes gloves, eye protection, ear protection, boots, and a hard hat if necessary. When working during visibility conditions or at night, wear a reflective vest.

Other protective items include a hat to shade your eyes from the sun’s rays. Sunscreen will protect the skin from UVA and UVB radiation. Long pants and sleeves can guard against flying debris.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Rub hands with lemon slices to get rid of onion or fish smells. Afterward, you can put the lemon slices down your garbage disposal unit with a few ice cubes to get rid of smells there, too.

* Here’s a great way to get a longer life out of a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into the side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it. -- Y.P. in Illinois

* Nylon stocking strips are great and work really well in the garden. If you have a pair that has a run, chop them up into pieces. You can use them to tie up staked plants, as they are strong but gentle enough to not cause any harm. -- E.S. in Wisconsin

* Reduce your energy costs of drying clothes by hanging heavy items (think towels, throw blankets, jeans, sweats) for a few hours to air dry before popping them in the dryer. You can cut the drying time by as much as two-thirds, and still get that tumble-dried softness.

-- M.N. in Missouri

* Keep a kitchen timer near your phone so you can limit the length of long-distance calls. They can add up quickly if you don’t watch it!

* Renew your paintbrushes with this trick: Heat vinegar to boiling. Pour into a tall, narrow container that won’t melt. Add hardened brushes, bristle side down. Stick a pencil through the hole in the paintbrush handle and balance it across the top of the container. It keeps the bristles from bending in the bottom of the container. Let brushes soak until vinegar is cooled. Use a wire brush to clean.

Portable vs. Standby Generators

Prepare your home for a power outage (Family Features) Understanding the distinction between these options will help any family determine which is the better choice for their home.

• A portable generator is an immediate, but temporary, solution. A portable gas generator is less expensive than a standby unit and doesn’t require installation time. Its benefits have limits, as it can only power a few home appliances for a few hours before needing refueling.

• A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch provides a seamless and permanent backup power solution. It is professionally installed outside the home and can power more of your home’s appliances for long periods of time. Powered by natural gas or liquid propane, recent power management technology has allowed homes to still receive whole-house backup electricity, but with a smaller, more affordable generator than in years past.

With an emergency kit on hand and the right backup power source available, the frustration of weathering a storm can be greatly lessened.

Complex Jargon Prevents Patient From Understanding

Diagnosis

DEAR DR. ROACH: After many bouts of pain in my left leg, I was referred for an MRI. They diagnosed me with left lumbar radiculitis, spondylolisthesis and lumbar spondylosis. There are many people in my independent living facility who have gotten similar diagnoses. As an RN with a master’s in nursing education, I have a question: When the diagnoses are made, do doctors not explain the problem in layman’s terms? I only found out what my list of diagnoses were from a physical therapist, to whom I was referred. -- N.F.P.

VENEERS VERSUS CROWNS

The most significant difference between veneers and crowns is that veneers are used for cosmetic improvement while crowns are used for structural improvement. Veneers cover the front of the tooth, while crowns cover the entire tooth. Veneers are often used to improve the look of stained teeth or to fix teeth that are chipped, worn down, or have gaps between them. Crowns are used to restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, or to protect a weak tooth from breaking. Crowns may be used to support teeth with severe tooth decay or to hold a cracked or broken tooth together. They are also used to cover implants and can improve a tooth’s appearance in shape or color.

Enhance your appearance so you can smile with confidence - call us, BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, to explore the many ways today’s cosmetic dentistry procedures can improve your teeth as well as change your life. It starts with a simple phone call to 585.343.4246 to arrange an appointment for veneers, crowns, or other state-of-the-art dental procedures, performed by a dedicated professional dental team, that make 6 Batavia City Centre the ideal place to achieve a captivating smile.

P.S. Veneers are permanent and their color can’t be changed once they’re placed.

ANSWER: Doctors certainly should explain their diagnoses in language appropriate for their patients. We can forget that the language we use is sometimes incomprehensible, but that’s not an excuse. A patient should always feel comfortable in saying they don’t understand a diagnosis, or any other word or phrase their doctor uses, and ask for more explanation. Many of the most effective communicators I have seen not only ask the patient whether they understood, but have made sure their patient can explain it back to them. In your case, these specific diagnoses are generally not well-known by nonexperts, and I am disappointed that they did not give you an explanation. Lumbar radiculitis is essentially sciatica -- it’s an inflammation of the large bundle of nerve roots, which usually causes pain down the leg into particular locations, based on which nerves are being affected. It is not a specific diagnosis, as it doesn’t say what is causing the damage to the nerves. Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra overlaps another one below it (front to back, not side to side). Very mild spondylolisthesis will not cause any symptoms, but more severe cases can cause damage to the nerve roots. Spondylosis of the lumbar vertebrae is a nonspecific term signifying degeneration of the spine, usually due to osteoarthritis and often including degeneration of the disks in between the vertebrae. So, these diagnoses together suggest that you have osteoarthritis of the spine, along with a displacement of one vertebra over another, causing damage to the nerve roots of the spine. These conditions would be likely to cause the back and leg pain you have on your left side.

RECOGNIZE AND AVOID YOUTH SPORTS INJURIES

Children benefit in various ways from their involvement in youth sports. Being part of a team fosters feelings of belonging, inspires collaborative play and strategy and can be an excellent form of exercise. Still, despite the benefits, parents often worry about the injury risk their children face on the playing fields.

Those fears are justified. A Safe Kids Worldwide survey of emergency room visits found that a young athlete visits a hospital emergency room for a sports-related injury more than a million times a year, or about every 25 seconds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 2.6 million children 0 to 19 years old are treated in the emergency department each year for sports- and recreation-related injuries. Some of the more common injuries young children face have to do with the skeletal and muscular systems of the body. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons stresses that children’s bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are still growing, making them more susceptible to injury. Fortunately, with some education, many youth-sport injuries can be prevented.

DID YOU KNOW? Men and women often make an effort to lose weight before special events such as weddings or vacations. While many people do so in healthy ways, others take their weight loss efforts to the extreme. For example, many brides-to-be aspire to shed excess weight before their weddings so they can look as slim as possibly in their wedding gowns. The New York Times even reported in 2012 on a bride who spent eight days on a feeding tube to strictly limit calories so she could fit into her wedding dress. Such efforts are dangerous and could put individuals’ long-term health in serious jeopardy. Healthy weight loss for any occasion requires a long lead time, so that individuals can safely shed between one and two pounds per week with a healthy mix of diet and exercise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Trimming between 500 and 1,000 calories per day from their diets can help individuals lose weight safely.

When is too early to plant directly outside? How do I protect my early plants from the frost we may very well still have?

There are at least three reasons for waiting until at least mid-May for planting young plants outdoors unprotected: you want to avoid too cold weather, you want the soil to be warm enough, and you want your plants to be big and tough enough to survive. A covering like a cloth sheet can prevent frost from damaging plants if the soil is warm, but if the temperature falls below freezing, the plants are still likely to die.

The average freeze date is the end of April. Soil temperature at planting time should

be at least 50°. Your young plants should have at least three sets of leaves, and they need to get “hardened off” with gradual exposure to outdoor conditions of sun, wind, and changing temperatures. Often there is no frost after mid-May, but you need to check the long-range weather forecast before planting: the nighttime low temperature should be above 40°; 50° is even better for most young plants. Plants including broccoli, lettuce, and other greens and root vegetables can be planted outside in late April, while warm weather plants like tomatoes and squash need to wait.

A cold frame could enable you to start your plants outdoors. You could buy one, or some people build their own. This link gives you more information on a cold frame, which is heated by the sun, and hot beds, which are heated by electric mats: https://cceschuyler. org/resources/cold-frames-hot-bedschemung-county

HOW TO MAINTAIN MENTAL ACUITY

Exercise regularly. Routine exercise may be most associated with physical benefits, but the NIA notes that such activity has been linked to benefits for the brain as well. For example, a 2011 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory. The NIA also notes that one study indicated exercise stimulated the brain’s ability to maintain old network connections and make new ones vital to cognitive health.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles Living Long Lives in the Blue Zones

In several parts of the world there are large populations that regularly live into their 90s and even pass 100 years. ey’re called Blue Zones, those parts of the world where seniors live longer, healthier lives. It started as a National Geographic project to look for the secrets to longevity. ey were able to identify ve locations: Loma Linda, California; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; and Okinawa, Japan.

Fascinated scientists began to study these over-100 people and concluded that they had nine commonalities. ey are:

• e Blue Zoners move and exercise naturally, working in gardens and going about their lives with frequent walks.

• ey have a purpose to each day.

• ey do what they must to avoid stress. Some pray, some have happy hour, some take naps, but they intentionally do something.

• ey follow Confucius’ rule to stop eating when they’re 80% full, and don’t eat late at night.

• ey belong to a faith-based community of some kind.

• ey put loved ones rst and o en live with or near family members.

• e people around them are engaged in similar healthy behaviors.

To read the study about the Blue Zones, go online to www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov, select PubMed from the dropdown menu and put “Blue Zones” in the search box. Look for the authors Buettner D, Skemp S. e heading includes “Lessons from the World’s Longest Lived.”

ere is hope for all of us to extend our lives if we incorporate some of what those in the Blue Zones have to teach us.

A Brief Glimpse into the Mind and Inspiration that is Churchville Poet, Jerri Lynn Sparks

BY SUZIE WELLS

Irst met Jerri een years ago when I included one of her treasured stories in a collection I published. I love Jerri’s raw, honest writing style as well as her treatment of all things human. It inspires me to continue to see the beauty and the value in the little things around us. So of course, as National Poetry Month approached, I knew I needed to feature her poetic insight. Let’s get a glimpse into the mind of Jerri Lynn Sparks:

When did you start writing poetry?

Age 7, 2nd grade, written in response to my parents arguing. I was in bed, grabbed paper and pencil, and was lled with passion as I wrote under the covers by ashlight. I then marched to the living room and thrust the poem between them. It ended their argument and started my poetry journey.

What is a favorite teacher/mentor/moment in your poetic journey?

Mrs. Propst, my 2nd grade teacher, allowed me to stretch out on the oor in class and write my poems on door-sized paper. I sketched an accompanying image, and she posted it as a door cover. I guess that was my rst art and poetry exhibit.

Where do you ‘ nd’ inspiration?

Birds, frost, the ocean, lakes, rivers and creeks; the sexy jawline of a stranger across the crowd at a concert; a ower newly opening its petals in spring; a bee crawling into a tulip. It’s easier to ask what doesn’t inspire me (taxes and tra c). A lot of times, I write from a broken heart, or when feeling frustration, anger, or social unrest. I nd when I’m happy, I’m too busy being happy to write very much. I sometimes write when inspired by beauty in nature or when newly in love or lust, detangling the di erence between the two feelings.

How would you describe your writing habits?

Sporadic, stolen moments, o en jotted down on napkins stu ed in the console. I drive on long road trips and am inspired during hours of music and thoughts, so a poem or phrase will pop into my mind and I pull over and write it down. So if you see me on the side of the road in my car, I’m not stranded, just landed...on a line. I save all versions to play with; V1, V2, VOMGwillSHEeverFINISHthisPOEM.

What are your favorite topics or themes to write about?

Unrealized things I’d hoped for: love and loss, renewal, redemption, forgiveness, resolve, rebirth, transformation, sex and love, a bit of anger that leads to change or justice, coming out stronger and better, ALL the passionate feelings.

What are your favorite/greatest accomplishments as a writer/ poet/human being?

My Ten Good ings About e Rain poetry collection and my domestic violence survival memoir, Surviving Madmen. I love sharing poetry and having others share with me. At UCLA once at a party in the hills of Mulholland overlooking the city, about a dozen of us students had an outdoor dinner party. e 405 looked like a shimmering gold and diamond river. When it came my turn to wish our friend happy birthday, I recited Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” Not a dry eye at the table, and I still remember over 20 years later.

What role does creative writing and/or poetry play in everyday life?

It gives my life deeper feeling, more poignancy. e other night, my two oldest sons were home for dinner and a er dinner we sat by the re talking. I asked them if they remembered when they were little that I’d o en make up bedtime stories. ey both said they did and smiled. I asked if they wanted me to do that again and they said yes. So, I made up a story about birds and a struggle. ey loved it. at is the magic of storytelling. What advice would you give an aspiring writer?

ONLY write your truth. Don’t try to write to please others. Be bold and brave. To hell with appeasement.

e Bird Cage

By Jerri Lynn Sparks

e bird cage is empty as it sits perched on the edge of my life and possibility guarding my sparse house and my sparse life but it holds so much

Hope in its slim white ribs so spare but so strong a whole world can t inside

I gaze at the expanse between the narrow bars and wonder as the wind blows freely in and out of its con nes designed for restraint but destined to hold only freedom as long as it is mine…

It’s the same way with my heart and with any love I’ve ever given free owing with spaces between the structure of what holds us together

Inside my chest my heart beats up against my slim white rib cage holding so much so spare but so strong a whole world can t inside

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE

Rental potential and the local labor force: Location is a significant factor to consider when investing in real estate, but recent shifts in how and where people work could change the real estate investment landscape. A 2020 Gartner, Inc., survey of more than 300 financial executives and leaders in the finance industry found that roughly 25 percent will move at least one out of every five of their on-site workers to permanently remote positions in the years ahead. Economists note that this shift to remote working could be among the more lasting trends to emerge from the pandemic. Before investing in real estate, prospective investors should examine local trends to see if more and more locals are working remotely, and whether or not that’s affecting the market for rentals.

RAVES

Thank you DePaul Rosa's Villas and Roberts Wesleyan University of Chili, NY

I am an elderly, 78 years young woman who lives at DePaul Rosa’s Villas in LeRoy, currently attending sessions of Occupational Therapy training presented by students from Roberts Wesleyan University. Each of these students have added value to my life with their refreshing outlook on the future of their careers. I am so thankful for these sessions and appreciate the students’ willingness to interact with the tenants of this facility. When the students depart from the sessions, I feel good as if I had a hug. The students brought happiness and joy to my day. There are a few tenants who are not from this area who feel isolated with their medical issues. The students bring hope, optimism and give inner strength to the elderly. The students are an inspiration to all of us attending the sessions, as they go above and beyond with care and consideration. The future lies before them and God bless these young students.

Thank You Honeoye Falls Lima Students

My friends and I went to the Senior lunch and preview of Guys & Dolls. We were amazed. The lunch was excellent! The student servers were polite and they did a wonderful job making people feel welcomed. The play was so much fun. The students, actors, musicians and behind the scene workers were very professional and the play was perfection. My friends were so happy to come for the afternoon and had a great time. We are all looking forward to next year. We had so much fun from the time we walked in the school until we left.

Great Service!

Throughout the winter the folks working at Kwik Fill in Lima always did their jobs with smiles on their faces and a nice greeting and thank you, so thank you all for your good work attitude!

HOMETOWN

Junk Area

I am writing this with the concern that a recently appointed Historical Area of the village has turned into a junk yard. There are now 2-3 containers filled with junk, 2-3 RVs (not running) filled with junk. 2 full sized boats. Busses filled with junk. Non-running car, 2 plows, multiple lawn mowers and even more junk. This has become an eye sore not only for the residents and the entire village, but is this what we want people to see as they visit our village? THIS IS ALLOWED IN A HISTORICAL AREA? Why has the village board or the mayor not said anything? I have a good idea why not. This has brought feral cats, mice, rats, raccoons, and even skunks to the area. It has become a hoarding area. This needs to be cleaned up. Very sad for an area that even when it was empty added character to the village. Now it has become a junk yard!!

Donating

Why do multibillion dollar corporations have their employees solicit at the checkout for donations? Whether you’re put on the spot for an answer or the computer’s check out screen has a button to donate money for whatever the charity of the week is, do corporations really need tax write offs? Major corporations are notorious for avoiding taxes. If you like to donate, please send it directly to the charity or cause. You’ll feel much better for your participation.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A NEW JOB

Work/life balance: Before beginning your search for a new job, think about why you want to switch careers or companies. Long hours often leads to burnout. If you’re looking for a new job because you’re burned out, try to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance. A study from the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen found that, with the curious exception of people who work more than 55 hours per week, stress rises accordingly with the numbers of hours worked each week. Keep that in mind if your goal is to find a job that affords you a better work/life balance.

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO

Consider design

Design your résumé so it will look good whether it’s viewed on a screen or a mobile phone or printed on paper. Classic serif style fonts can make a résumé seem dated, so select modern fonts that are crisp. The idea is for the résumé to look balanced and clear, without being overdone with modifications, like italics and bold lettering. However, a spot of color could provide much-needed attention.

THE 10 FASTEST GROWING JOB MARKETS IN THE UNITED STATES

Working professionals relocate for exciting career opportunities every day. In 2017, in an effort to determinewherethemostexciting opportunities may be, researchers at ConsumersAdvocate.org studied data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, focusing on metroareasthatemployedatleast 250,000 people. The following are the metro areas that exhibited the greatest employment growth rate from January to June of 2017.

1. Jacksonville, FL

2. Des Moines-West Des Moines, Iowa

3. Chattanooga, TennesseeGeorgia (Note: The Chattanooga metro area consists of six countries, three in southeast Tennessee and three in northwest Georgia)

RELIEVE STRESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Stress affects people from all walks of life, and the causes of stress are as varied as the people it afflicts.

In its 2017 Stress in AmericaTM survey, the American Psychological Association found that the three most common sources of stress were the future of the nation (63 percent), money (62 percent) and work (61 percent). According to the National Institute of Mental Health, routine stress that becomes chronic can result in a host of negative side effects. Such stress can suppress the immune system, disrupt digestion and have an adverse effect on sleep. But men and women who feel stressed at the end of each day need not resign themselves to sleepless nights and/or weakened immune systems. A proactive approach to alleviating stress during the day can help men and women reduce their stress levels and avoid the negative side effects associated with chronic stress.

DID YOU KNOW?

Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve one’s ability to focus on a task. A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The study’s authors tested participants’ ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task. The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participants’ performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment. The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch group’s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break. Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.

WAYS

TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK

Stop multitasking. Psychologists have determined that multitasking can bog down productivity. According to the American Psychological Association, the mind and brain were not designed for heavy-duty multitasking. Individuals think they’re getting more done, but they may not be handling tasks effectively. Instead, focus on one job at a time and only move on once it is completed.

DID YOU KNOW?

Retirement can seem like it will never come for young professionals. But time can be a sieve, and retirement age can arrive in the blink of an eye. Young adults who have not planned accordingly for retirement can find themselves in financial straits at a point in their lives when they want to kick back and enjoy themselves. Financial experts from Money, CNN and The Motley Fool advise that financially solvent people should begin saving aggressively for their retirements early on. Ideally people should start saving in their 20s when they first leave school and begin their careers. The sooner one saves, the more time money has to grow. Vanguard says that the person who saves $4,500 per year over a career spanning 45 years can reach a goal of having more than $1 million in savings by the time he or she retires. Compounding interest and investment matches from employers can further secure professionals’ financial futures.
