S E V RA Manchester Gateway Trail Shout out to the Village of Manchester and their beautiful trail. The trail is well-maintained all year long and has been a joy for so many this winter season. Thank you for making the trail accessible, especially during the winter months. Even during the recent snow storms, I was able to take my dog for a walk in the woods because of your commitment. Thank you! Service to Drive for! I completely agree with last week's rave for the Valero Gas Station in Avon! The girls that work there are amazing, prompt, and courteous! I am elderly and drive out of my way for their service! Even on the bitterest of cold days, the girls there greet you with a smile! I always tip them, and would feel guilty if I didn't, because they deserve it. After all, they are pumping my fuel, and I have the luxury of sitting comfortably in my car! Good job!
Good Samaritan Award goes to... Roger King: Livingston County coroner, local funeral assistant, state DOT employee, volunteer fireman, husband, dad, and friend. Your attention to detail, your care for the living and deceased, your kind words, your nurturing and kind soul, your ability to act fast and take control of situations, your confidence in doing things, and your ability to do the right thing do not go unnoticed. You are a gentleman; a kind-hearted and empathetic Samaritan to whom most people reading this owe a great deal of thanks. Our communities are safer because of you; they are stronger because of you, and we all are indebted to you for playing an integral part in all of our lives. No amount of thanks could begin to repay you for the sacrifices you and your family make every single day. You are appreciated and respected. I hope you understand how invaluable and indispensable you are! -A grateful community Four Letter Words Not all four letter words are bad. In fact, "good" is a four letter word. The worst four letter word that I can think of is "hate." It is that four letter word which has caused wars: people killing children in churches, streets, and any other place you can think of. There is, however, another four letter word that can defeat the word "hate," and that is the word "love." The Greeks have at least three words for love, and the one I'm referring to is "agape," the concern for the well-being of others.
Blessed & Thankful A huge thank you to the driver of a white car who paid for coffee and a donut at Tim Horton's on February 10th. Not only did you give me a gift, but also the items were being taken to my mom at a nursing home, so your generosity reached two ladies. I will definitely pay it forward, and thank you for reminding me that there are good people in this world.
You should care! I cannot believe that there are some people out there who genuinely think that they shouldn’t care about the environment because it apparently “can’t be controlled.” It absolutely can! In March of 2020 when most of the world was in lockdown, pollution and emissions plummeted, then went back up when lockdown orders were lifted. The environment absolutely can be controlled and changed. Just look at the weather in recent years: tornadoes and 60°F weather in December, snow in May, Siberian temperatures in Chicago. None of that is natural! It’s very ignorant to assume that the planet we all live on isn’t worth caring about because there’s supposedly nothing you can do to take care of it. I’m not saying that the world is going to end if you don’t emulate Captain Planet levels of environmentalism, but at least trying to care about the Earth would be nice!

IT PAYS TO USE CRATES WHEN TRAINING PUPPIES Many dog owners, particularly those who have never before had a dog, may hesitate to employ crates to train their puppies. That’s understandable, as on the surface it can seem cruel or inhumane to confine a living animal to a cage. However, the AKC notes that dogs are den animals that naturally seek out canine caves for security. That’s true whether dog owners provide crates for their puppies or not. So while humans may see crates as cruel, dogs very likely view their crates as secure places where they can go if they get scared or feel skittish. In fact, according to the AKC, dogs’ perception of crates is one reason why dog owners typically find it relatively easy to get their dogs to adjust to crates and ultimately enjoy them.

MOST POPULAR ETHNIC CUISINES ACROSS THE COUNTRY What constitutes “ethnic” food differs from person to person. Someone of Italian descent may dine regularly on garlic-infused pasta dishes, while a person from another area of the world may find such foods exotic. In the cultural melting pot of North America, various cuisines representing countries that span the globe are within arm’s length for many people. According to Technomic, a Chicago-based research firm, 77 percent of Americans enjoy ethnic foods while dining out once a month. Around 38 percent order ethnic food weekly. In addition, many more people prepare ethnic cuisine at home. A growing interest in ethnic foods is fueled by young people. Technomic notes that millennials are more apt to want to try various cuisines and then incorporate them into their regular dining experiences. The National Restaurant Association found that 60 percent of people are likely to “tie their favorite ethnic food to their family history.” Interest in ethnic foods tends to be highest in urban areas where restaurants and ingredients may be more readily available. When it comes to the top ethnic cuisines enjoyed throughout the states or provinces and territories, Chinese, Mexican and Italian rally for the top spots on diners’ plates. While the NRA has Italian cuisine as earning topbilling, Technomic’s list says that Chinese food, at 76 percent, followed by Mexican food (74 percent) and Italian (71 percent) comprise the biggest ethnic draws. Japanese or sushi comes in a distant fourth at 32 percent in the United States. The statistics portal Statista indicates that, as of January 2015, Chinese, American and Italian foods are quite popular in Canada. However, the percentage of people who cook these foods as opposed to eating them out at a restaurant varies. Chinese food is most widely enjoyed in a restaurant setting, while Italian food is frequently whipped up at home. As immigration tides change, ethnic cuisine may change with them. However, interest in experiencing ethnic dining is likely to remain consistent. Page 11

Excessive noise is also linked to tinnitus, sleep deprivation, cardiovascular disease and an increased risk of mental illness. A German study found that depression and anxiety increased as annoyance from noise increased. Fortunately, there can be a way to protect yourself and your family. Your home’s insulation can do more than keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The right kind can help transform your home into a quiet retreat and sanctuary from the outside world.
NOW HERE’S A TIP * Store plastic wrap in the refrigerator, or even the freezer, to keep it from sticking to itself.
• Easily cut
* “Take your medication tablets on a spoonful of your favorite yogurt! Place the pills on top of yogurt and they slide down. Follow with a second spoonful and smile.” -- A Reader in Pennsylvania
• Not likely to rot or promote the growth of fungi or mildew
* Do you have a screw loose ... in your eyeglasses? This is an easy fix. Paint the screw with a dab of clear nail polish and quickly re-screw. It works like glue. Dab the top of the screw for a little extra insurance.

• Noncombustible, with a melting point of approximately 2,150° F • Fire resistant • Water and moisture resistant. For great soundproofing results, you can install the stone wool insulation in your home theater, basement, home office, laundry room, furnace room and even the washrooms. Its high-density and unique fiber structure reduces noise traveling from one room to another.
* “I purchased a roll of reflective tape to mark our basement stairs. It reflects the light from the open doorway at the top of the stairs, and I can turn the downstairs lights off before heading up. I had some left over, so I put a strip on my dog’s collar. When I let him out at night, I can shine a flashlight and spot him instantly, since the tape is more visible in the night.” -- V.R. in Pennsylvania * If you’re leaving your home for a few days, make sure you don’t turn off the heater altogether. Set it at a low 55 degrees F and open up the cabinets that have pipes exposed. This way, air will circulate, and it won’t get too cold to allow the pipes to burst. Have a neighbor turn your faucets to a trickle if below-freezing weather is expected.
Gold Standard Publication
* Wrap the metal collar of your paintbrush with masking tape before painting. Then you can peel it off and there’s no stuck-on paint.
National Award Winning Paper

So much so, in fact, that the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders says as many as 26 million Americans have high-frequency hearing loss likely caused by exposure to excessive noise.
The next time you have the opportunity to reinsulate your home, soundproofing insulation can be an excellent choice to help you escape everyday noise. Stone wool insulation is a top choice for professional recording studios since it’s an excellent acoustic barrier that actually absorbs the sound. One, Rockwool Safe ‘n’ Sound stone wool insulation, is a performance-tested product that provides higher sound absorption against low-frequency (bass) ranges that other types of insulation struggle to block. In addition, it’s:
By JoAnn Derson President
(NAPSI)—Home life is changing, so sound dampening is more important than ever. Life is getting louder inside and around the home. Televisions, home theaters, computers and video games blare from almost every room. Family cell phones ring or buzz. Life gets loud.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta
Backyard barbecues provide the perfect opportunity for grillmasters to experiment with their favorite foods. Those who want to give grilled chicken a tasty twist can whip up this recipe for “Citrus Recado Chicken Breasts” from Eric Treuille and Birgit Erath’s “Grilling” (DK Publishing).
Citrus Recado Chicken Breasts Serves 4 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons canola oil 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1/4 cup orange juice 4 boneless chicken breast halves, slashed (see below) Salt Avocado Mango Salsa (optional) Combine garlic, chili powder, oregano, thyme, cumin, coriander, pepper, cinnamon, sugar, oil, lime juice, and orange juice. Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once. Grill according to instructions below. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot with avocado mango salsa if you prefer. Outdoor grill: Grill skin-side down over medium-hot coals until skin is crisp, 7 minutes. Turn and continue grilling until chicken is opaque with no trace of pink, another 5 minutes. Indoor grill: Preheat broiler. Broil skin-side up until skin is crisp, 7 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until chicken is opaque with no trace of pink, another 5 minutes. To slash the chicken breasts: With a sharp knife, cut 3 parallel slashes through the skin, about 1/4-inch deep. Marinate chicken up to 2 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate, turning several times in marinade.
Avocado Mango Salsa Makes 12/3 cups 1 mango, finely diced 1 avocado, peeled, halved, pitted, and finely diced 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 1 red chile, seeded and finely chopped 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped mint leaves Salt Tabasco® Combine mango, avocado, onion, chile, lime juice, vinegar, oil, and mint.

More Tips for Finding Out-of-Stock Pet Food DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to respond to Casey H.’s concerns about finding the right pet food in the midst of these supply problems. We and some of our friends have experienced the same shortage. Our cat is on a prescription canned and dry food to treat her cystitis. Eating the wrong food could cause real problems for her. When we went to PetSmart to renew our supply, the shelf was almost empty. We talked to the in-store veterinarian, who said the main problem was a quality issue -the manufacturer had to throw away a huge amount of cat food and start again. That, plus the slowdown in truck deliveries, plus short staffing, are all contributing to this mess. Casey may want to call or email the pet-food company, or talk to the manager of the store that it’s usually purchased from. Another option is to make your own pet food. My mother was a dog breeder for 30 years and she made her own dog food. It’s not an option for us because of our cat’s medical issue, but it may be a solution for others. Your veterinarian can guide you on ingredients, and there are plenty of books with recipes that provide balanced nutrition. -- Colleen R., East Rochester, New York DEAR COLLEEN: That’s great advice! Store managers and the pet food manufacturers themselves can provide more insight when a specific pet food is not available. You can usually find contact information for the manufacturer on the can, bag or box of pet food. Veterinarians also can also help guide you to alternative pet foods, which is especially important when specific formulations are needed. Send your tips, questions or comments to ask@pawscorner. com.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
How Much Popcorn Is Too Much? ---
DEAR DR. ROACH: I love popcorn, but when you look close there are so many hard hulls! Are they hard on the stomach? Can you eat too much? -- G.P.P. ANSWER: Popcorn has a lot of fiber, include the nondigestible bran of the kernel (also called the hull). Fiber is generally healthy for you, aiding in digestion and making you feel fuller, and foods high in fiber may reduce risk of some chronic diseases. However, too much fiber, especially if your system is not used to it, is absolutely a potential problem. It can cause bloating and gas, and in rare instances can cause an obstruction in the bowel. This is not likely with any reasonable amount of popcorn. Doctors used to think that in people with diverticulosis, which is little outpouchings in the wall of the colon, popcorn could cause diverticulitis (inflammation and infection). However, recent studies have shown this is unlikely. Finally, enjoy popcorn air-popped, without oil or butter or too much salt, for the healthiest option.

HOW COMMUNITIES CAN RECOGNIZE NURSES Sponsor fundraising efforts. Town officials can help to organize a community-wide fundraising effort or a 50-50 raffle with the ultimate goal of donating to a charitable organization chosen by local nurses. Health care facilities have been stretched incredibly thin during the pandemic, so a donation to a charitable organization that benefits health care workers can be a great way for communities to honor local nurses.
We Care About
Your Smiles by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy
MIND THE GAP: WHAT IS A DIASTEMA? A gap between teeth is called a diastema. While it poses no dental or medical threat, a diastema is sometimes a concern for patients for cosmetic reasons. Most often appearing in young children, a diastema usually closes when permanent adult teeth come in. Spaces that are wider than 0.5 millimeters are considered to be a diastema. Generally caused by the difference between the size of teeth relative to the jaw, the condition is often genetic. A smaller tooth means more space between the teeth, most commonly, the upper lateral incisors, which creates a gap between the front teeth. Gum disease can also be responsible for tooth migration as inflammation damages the bone supporting the teeth.
the problem with the help of your dentist. Here at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we care how you feel, and we’ll work with you to help you achieve optimal oral health and maximum smile power, from cosmetic enhancements to complete restorations to regular dental checkups. For gentle dental care for everyone in your family, please call us at 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre. We accept most insurances. P. S. In many parts of the world, a gap between the front teeth is considered a sign of beauty and attractiveness, and some people choose to widen their gaps to enhance their appearance.
If unevenly spaced, damaged, neglected, or otherwise unattractive teeth are preventing you from smiling, take care of

DEAR DR. ROACH: I was recently worked up for an autoimmune disease that now seems to be osteoarthritis. I was placed on 10 mg of prednisone for 14 days with amazing relief from my painful shoulder and arms. I am severely allergic to aspirin and do not want to take opioids. The physician has ordered prednisone 2.5-5 mg daily to control symptoms. Is it safe to take this low dose of prednisone daily for pain control? -- M.O. ANSWER: It sounds to me that the physician may not have communicated as effectively as I might have hoped. Osteoarthritis, although a widespread cause of joint pain, is not an autoimmune disease, and it is not treated with prednisone. Instead, it sounds very much like you may have polymyalgia rheumatica. PMR is found in women more often than in men and rarely in people under 50, most commonly in a person’s 70s. Hallmark symptoms are joint pain, especially of the shoulders and upper arms, that is much worse in the morning. PMR also is very sensitive to prednisone 10-20 mg: If it doesn’t respond dramatically to those kinds of doses, it probably isn’t PMR. A laboratory finding, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is almost always very elevated (92%-94%) in PMR. A different blood test for inflammation, C-reactive protein, is abnormal in 99% of people with the condition. Treatment is low-dose prednisone, usually given at 10-20 mg per day to start, as long as it is controlling symptoms. About half of people will be able to come off of medication after a year or two, but some people continue on treatment for six years or more. Unfortunately, even at these low doses, roughly half of people can develop a side effect due to the steroids, especially cataracts. People on long-term steroids should have careful monitoring of blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol levels, as well as bone density. Alternate treatments that don’t rely on steroids are in development. ***

Page 18
REAL ESTATE SECTION
Market: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment, potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings. For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles
Dealing With Empty Store Shelves There’s been a shift in food availability across the country. If your area is just now getting hit with empty store shelves, this concept is shocking and new to you. For those of us who have lived with this for a long time (for over a year in my area), it’s more of the same, but worse now. Here are a few thoughts to help you get through this. Ask your store manager about any missing item. If he says that he’s no longer able to order it, that likely means the item isn’t on the store’s list anymore. In that case, call the manufacturer. You might well discover that they’re no longer making that particular item. If, however, the reply is that he doesn’t know when certain stock will be arriving on a truck, at least there’s hope it will reappear. That’s when you need to be proactive. Team up with a few friends and equip each one with a list of a few must-have items for each person. For one it might be distilled water for a C-pap machine. For another it might be one certain brand of low-sugar canned fruit. Then, when you shop, keep an eye out for those items. If you spot something, make a call and ask if you should pick it up while it’s right there in front of you. If you’re desperate for a particular item you know is in stock, call the store manager and ask for it to be put it at the customer-service counter. If you don’t do this too often, chances are you’ll be accommodated. If your store finally gets a missing item back in stock, don’t hoard. At most, take just one extra if you’ll use it within several weeks. That will buy you a little time if it goes missing again. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Volunteering: Local environmental groups often sponsor cleanups at parks and waterfront attractions like beaches and lakes. Volunteering with such organizations is a great way to get outside and give back, and working with like-minded individuals can be a great way for seniors to meet new people. In addition, a national study sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2019 found that 88 percent of Senior Corps volunteers who initially reported a lack of companionship reported a decrease in feelings of isolation after volunteering.

Need Help with Transportation? Reach Out to VTC! B Y E L A H A H A S H M AT U L L A H
T
ransportation. Why is it so important? If you do not own a vehicle, then you surely understand the hassle it is to get the appropriate transportation to get you where you need to be. In fact, most of us take transportation for granted, yet for many people who do not possess it, it is a luxury.
The VTCF operates in various counties such as Oswego, Genesee, and others across Western New York. Not only do they help the Western New York communities with transportation, but they also help their counties connect with food sources and help aging citizens with any additional needs they have.
Thankfully, the time for worry is over because the Volunteer Transportation Center is here to help with just that. The Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation was established in 2018 and received its non-profit status last year. Its mission is to “Provide transportation to health, wellness and critical needs destinations utilizing volunteers and mobility management for anyone who has barriers to transportation.”
Raymour & Flanigan not only sponsored a Free Games & Crafts Day for the VTC, but they also donated $500!
Having fun at the Raymour & Flanigan Free Games & Crafts Day fundraiser for VTC!
The VTC is volunteer based. This means that anyone with the appropriate qualifications is able to volunteer as a driver and give back to their community by driving their neighbors to their destinations and those in need of transportation. The best thing about this volunteer work is that these drivers “are reimbursed up to standard IRS mileage rate.” This is a great way to give back to local communities, help your neighbors and not be out-ofpocket for your generosity! The Volunteer Transportation Center Foundation is run on donations and charity events such as the Raymour and Flanigan Free Games and Crafts day for VTC that was open for the general public with games and crafts for families and individuals of all ages. Raymour & Flanigan also presented a check for $500 to the organization. The Volunteer Transportation Center holds many other such events for the enjoyment of their communities; everything earned and donated goes towards mileage reimbursement for the volunteer drivers. The sole long-term mission and vision of the VTCF is to ensure the financial stability of the organization and keep its services active and help as many people as possible facing difficulties with accessible transportation.

The organization raises awareness through their detailed website. They are also active on social media, however, the most impactful way to raise awareness for VTC has been through its fundraiser and charity events.
