He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.... In winter the stars seem to have rekindled their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of a more exalted simplicity. ~ John Burroughs, “The Snow-Walkers,” 1866

* Got a neckache? Grab a pair of long socks, fill each with 2 cups of uncooked white rice and a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil. Knot the sock tightly to seal.

Microwave for up to 2 minutes, and test temperature before draping it over your shoulders to apply heat to sore muscles. It’s so nice, especially when you’re laying down. * J.P. in New Jersey advises that instead of using candles during a power outage -- it can be dangerous! -- try a batteryoperated lantern instead. You can even use solar garden lights in a vase. You’d be surprised how much they can light a room. * “To trick yourself into saving money, round up purchases when you enter them into your checkbook register.” -- S.W. in Arkansas * “If you’re storing clothes in a storage tote, put a sheet of fabric softener in as well. It can help repel bugs and keep the fabrics smelling fresh.” -- M.W. in Iowa * “Spray nonwashable plush toys with dry shampoo to clean and freshen them. Rub vigorously with a terry cloth to remove any extra residue and fluff up!” -- P.H. in Pennsylvania

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Hyper, Yelping Terrier Is Handful During Walks DEAR PAW’S CORNER: A have a wiry little terrier named “Chip” who is well-behaved inside. However, when it’s time for his daily walk, he begins barking nonstop by the door. When I take him outside on the leash, he keeps barking, and pulls hard on the leash. So much so that he almost hurts himself when the collar digs into his neck.

Then he’ll yelp, as if I had hurt him.

It’s embarrassing to walk with this hyper, yelping little dog. How can I get him to calm down? -- Charity G., Albany, New York

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel * On Jan. 11, 1973, the owners of America’s 24 major league baseball teams vote to allow teams in the American League to use a “designated pinch-hitter” that could bat for the pitcher, while still allowing the pitcher to stay in the game.

DEAR CHARITY: An energetic dog can be frustrating to handle, but don’t lose hope. You can work with Chip to improve his behavior.

First, order Chip a properly sized halter online, and use this on walks.

A halter will spread out the contact points across the stronger parts of his little body. This will prevent injury when Chip pulls against the leash.

Halters also are much more comfortable; the uncomfortable collar may be stressing him out.

I’d like you to look up a dog trainer in your area who specializes in small dogs, who can be little tornados on a good day. Many trainers are adapting their lessons to an online format, so you can meet with them at home over a conferencing app like Zoom or Google Meet.

While you’re waiting for that first session, start working on reinforcing Chip’s basic behavioral training.

Work with him at home on the commands “come,” “sit,” “stay” and “lie down.” During walks, work with him on “heel,” “sit” and “stay.” These training sessions also will help Chip work off some of that energy, and he’ll be thrilled with all the attention he’s getting, too.

ODS is an equal opportunity employer.

Penny Saver Snack Foods That Promote Better Sleep • Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make falling and staying asleep easier.

• Bananas: Much like almonds, bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey. While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.

TURN YOUR HOME INTO THE ULTIMATE

Staycation Destination While vacations sound like the best chance to unwind, planning a trip out of town -- and getting there – can sometimes be more hassle than it’s worth.

Here’s how to turn your home into a staycation “destination” that can be enjoyed any time you feel like it:

Upgrade Bedding: Give your bedroom

a five-star hotel-grade makeover so you can enjoy that quality of rest found only on vacation. Shop for percale linens and high-quality pillows and invest in window treatments that block out sound and light, so you can awaken when you choose to, not when the sun or neighbors intervene.

Create a Spa-Like Bathroom: Find your

bliss by creating a spa-like retreat in your bathroom. Start by clearing unsightly clutter and using coordinating dispensers for bath products. Paint the walls in a hue that promotes relaxation -- think earthy tones, blues and greens, then add plants or fresh flowers for a pop of vibrant color.

Dimmer switches, waterproof speakers and a waterfall showerhead with different spray settings are just a few updates offering you flexibility to create different moods, all which can connect to a smart home device that remembers your preferences. For that warm, cozy feeling right out of the bath or shower, add in-floor heating and a towel warming drawer.

Add Backyard Touches: Show your

backyard some love with a little landscaping and a few touches that replicate that vacation feel. An outdoor bar and kitchen can give you a dedicated place to wine and dine without having to constantly go in and out of the house. Install a hammock for long afternoons spent with a book.

Explore Financing Options: When it comes to transforming your home into the ultimate destination, you won’t want to cut corners on what matters most to you, whether that’s opting for the superior flat screen TV or getting just the right coffee table to complete the look of your living room.

To that end, check out easy and convenient financing options that offer buying empowerment and flexibility.

In some cases, you can take advantage of even longerterm promotional financing offers, ranging from 12 to 60 months. Being able to pay off home purchases with convenient monthly payments can make life easier, helping you manage cash flow and compartmentalize spending on all things home.

Make “getting away from it all” as simple as taking a bath or enjoying a blockbuster from the comfort of home.

With smart renovation strategies, you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you want and need to truly relax.

EAT HEALTHY ON GAME DAY Game day gatherings are a great way to make sports more fun. But they also can compromise people’s efforts to eat right, as traditional tailgate fare is not always so healthy. Thankfully, there are ways to eat healthy on gameday.

Light beers typically contain around 100 calories apiece. A half dozen chicken wings typically come in at just under 700 calories, though that number will increase when dipping the wings into sauce. Understanding how high in calories these staples can be may compel you to opt for healthier fare.

If you want to limit how much you eat while watching the big game, make a conscious effort to track your consumption, even making a small snack bag before the game begins and eating only that once it starts.

When you make your own food for game day, you control what you’re putting into your body. Homemade snacks that are low in calories and don’t contain much sugar can help you stay the dietary course.

MINIMIZE DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES Undereye bags can cause shadows to form and increase the appearance of dark circles. To remedy this, try to reduce fluid pooling in the face.

Sleep elevated on a few pillows so that fluid flows away from the eyes.

Reduce consumption of alcohol and salty foods, which can exacerbate fluid retention. Cool compresses can be used to massage fluid gently away from the eyes as well.

We Care About

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

THE DENTAL DAMAGE OF EATING DISORDERS Eating disorders can wreak havoc on every system in the body, but their effects on dental health are often overlooked. Stomach acid from frequent vomiting erodes tooth enamel, weakening it and making teeth brittle, possibly causing them to fall out. It can also damage the soft palate and result in painful enlargement of the salivary glands.

Lack of nutrition can cause bleeding in the gums and other soft tissue inside the mouth. Tissue loss both inside the mouth and around the lips is also possible. Tooth decay and gum disease specifically can be caused by lack of calcium and the vitamin D required for the body to absorb it, iron, and B vitamins.

No matter what your oral concerns may be, we want you to be comfortable coming to our office. We try to make all our patients’ visits as relaxing as possible. If you are hesitant about visiting the dentist and haven’t done so in a while, we invite you to call us at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL and find out how satisfyingand rewarding, even lifechanging a visit to the dentist can be.

For full-service, patient-friendly dental care in a comfortable atmosphere, make an appointment today at 6 Batavia City Centre. You can reach us at 585.343.4246.

Youth sports injuries are common but preventable. Warming up, being in good physical shape and not overtaxing a growing body can help kids avoid pain and impairment.

P.S. Some of the damage eating disorders cause to the teeth and soft tissue of the mouth can be reversible, but much of it is permanent and may require expansive dental care including crowns and extractions.

Raynaud’s Patient: Can Viagra Help Cold Fingers ---

The Best Selection… Wine & Spirits

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have scleroderma with Raynaud’s phenomenon, and friends and family members have told me that I might get help from Viagra.

Frankly, I hadn’t read or heard that from either my rheumatologists or dermatologists. I already tried a short course of nifedipine over a decade ago (it just gave me a headache), so I just stick with mechanical means to keep my hands warm in winter and, maybe surprisingly to some, in summer. Believe me, air-conditioned grocery stores are torture from April to October. -- M.A.P. ANSWER: Raynaud’s phenomenon is an excessive response of the blood vessels in the skin to changes in temperature, and sometimes to emotional stress. While most people will get cold hands and feet when it is cold, a person with Raynaud’s can get a drastic response, even to air conditioning or freezer sections of grocery stores.

The skin will turn white and then blue, then quite red on being rewarmed. Not everybody goes through all three colors, however.

Raynaud’s can exist by itself, but is often seen in the presence of autoimmune conditions, such as the systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) you have. Treatment for Raynaud’s is generally the same with or without other conditions. Everybody with Raynaud’s should quit smoking and avoid medications that can trigger an attack (over-the-counter cold and flu remedies are the most common).

The mainstay of treatment is avoiding the temperature changes wherever possible, but as you point out clearly, it’s almost impossible to do so completely. Putting your hand in a refrigerator or holding a cold drink can trigger an attack. Many people with Raynaud’s learn to keep gloves with them all the time and dress their entire body warmly. An attack can sometimes be aborted by rubbing hands in warm water or getting them into a warm place.

When medication treatment is necessary, a calcium channel blocker like nifedipine is often the first choice.

Headache and dizziness can limit effectiveness of this treatment. Studies have shown these medications can cut the attacks by about 50%.

Sildenafil (Viagra) has been used in people with Raynaud’s, and is about as effective as calcium channel blockers. However, for people with scleroderma, ulcers and Raynaud’s, sildenafil has been shown in small trials to be very effective. ***

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2021 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

LeRoy Retired Cafeteria Worker, Marianita Beckman, Meets the World with Love

BY ANTHONY BECKMAN

M

y brother, Nicholas, and I consider ourselves blessed to have grown up under the loving influence of our mother. Marianita Beckman is an angel, former nurse and a LeRoy High School cafeteria worker. Her ability to face the world with positivity and love for others has always seemed like a mysterious power. She acknowledges the inspiration of her mother, aunts, and teachers who impacted her in her youth. Still, what makes her an angel is not that she follows in the footsteps of others, but the unconditional love and caring spontaneously from her own heart.

Her name, Marianita, is a combination of her mother’s, Mary, and her grandmother’s, Anita. When asked who inspired her to be so loving, without hesitation Marianita says her mother has been her guiding light. She “never uttered a sour word about another person,” my mother says. “She was always generous with her time – putting others ahead of herself.” She inspired Marianita with her commitment and selflessness, doing whatever it took to ensure her children and husband had a good life.

Marianita took up that mantle as a young mother herself. She tells me, “When you were born, although you took forever to come out, I knew right away that I was going to be a good mother, that I was going to take care of you and your brother.”

True to her word, my mother created a home filled with love and kindness. She welcomed each of our friends in as if they were her own children. Having friends at our house for dinners and sleepovers was a regular occurrence. Through her actions we learned the value of respect, kindness, justice, and seeing the best in others – even if they didn’t see it in themselves.

My grandmother stepped away from a career to settle down in her 30s and raise a family. Likewise, Marianita left behind her desire to be a teacher to commit herself to motherhood. Her best friend, Gerri O’Brien, told me that Marianita enjoyed sports and wanted to become a gym teacher. My mother quickly confirmed this, explaining that she had wanted to go to college and become a physical education teacher.

The circumstances of the time and her father, Armando’s, mindset didn’t allow for her to go.

Maria Beckman stands between her sons Nicholas (left) and Anthony (right) at her surprise party for her 60th birthday!

She loves her parents unconditionally and understands the hard choices they made as first and second-generation immigrants. They did the best they could, and she is grateful for the love they showed her.

As her parents aged, she didn’t hesitate to serve as the primary caregiver for them. She would work her shift at the nursing home and come home to care for them.

For my wife Jolene and I, Marianita’s love and support has been instrumental. When we were married, my mother and my dad, George Beckman, took our then 4-year-old son, Dylan, for a week and devoted every minute to caring for and entertaining him. She came alive with the opportunity to build a relationship with her grandson. When our twin daughters, Sophie and Amelia were born, Marianita took two full weeks off work, dropped everything in her own life, and moved in with us. She took over the household responsibilities, allowing me

to work and Jolene to focus on the newborns Sophie and Amelia, Dylan, and recovery.

We will forever be grateful for her support and love. It wasn’t long afterwards that my parents moved from Long Island to LeRoy, and she took a position as a nurse with the Veterans Administration facility in Batavia.

Whether at a sporting event, orchestra concert, mock trial, or a Quiz bowl final - Sophie and Amelia’s Grandma is a LeRoy Central School District loving and supportive fan. Her honors beloved cafeteria worker, children and grandchildren Marianita Beckman! aren’t the only ones she supports with all her heart. After retiring from nursing after over 20 years, Marianita took up a job as a cafeteria worker at LeRoy High School.

She quickly became a beloved member of the school staff, having the school’s yearbook dedicated to her for her boundless school spirit and generous nature.

This year, when the global COVID-19 pandemic challenged “The energy the LeRoy schools to continue to provide meals for its students and to love families, Marianita volunteered unconditionally to be out on the front lines, preparing and handing out meals. comes from Marianita brought her energetic within her.” spirit to the food distributions, dancing and singing to the music - Anthony Beckman the school played. She put on a happy face in spite of sometimes distressing experiences.

When I asked Gerri if my mother ever got burned out, she told me, “I’m sure there may have been a point where she wanted to shut down, but her thoughts of you and Nicholas and all the kids keep her joy alive.” The energy to love unconditionally comes from within her.

As Mother and I wrapped up a conversation recently, I asked if she feels driven to help others. She was perplexed by the question, saying, “It’s not a drive. It’s just what I do.” After a pause, she continued, “If I see a need, I try to help.”

Like her mother, Marianita is an inspiration. She meets the world as it is, asking nothing more from it. She pours love into the world. There is no mystery to solve, no motives to understand. She is not driven to give out of obligation; she simply embodies the spirit of love. In the Bible, there is a verse “Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14). My mother told me that she’s never had an aspiration to save the world; that’s not how she thinks about it. I am beginning to understand what she means. The world doesn’t need saving. It just needs love.

Monitor Tire Pressure (BPT) - As the temperature drops, tire pressure falls with it. In fact, for every 10º drop in temperature, tire pressure decreases by 1 pound per square inch.

- Low inflation can cause a number of problems with your vehicle.

It increases fuel consumption, shortens the life of your tires and creates an unsafe driving experience.

- Tire pressure should be inspected at least once a month and always before a long trip. So grab a tire pressure gauge and your vehicle’s owner manual before hitting the road this winter.

Thank you, kind sir Imagine my surprise! The man that I thought was the store manager or owner went to get me a product I needed that wasn’t on the shelf.

When he got back to me with it, I thanked him and went to the store cashier to pay for it. The cashier told me the other man already paid for it. Come to find out, the man wasn’t the store manager or owner. He was another customer! I tried to go thank him, but he was long gone. Not only had he paid for it, but apparently, he went in his own car to another store to buy it! Wow! What great kindness to experience in the holiday season!

Thank you, kind sir! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! - Signed, an Old Woman in Need

Thank you, sisters I want to thank my sisters in Christ for the “gifts” from the bottom of my heart. You brought tears to my eyes and emphasized what I’ve known all along. God is good.

Thanks again. Peace & Happiness in the New Year to you all.

Community Generosity The Gilbert family on North St. in Caledonia would like to give a massive thank you this Holiday Season. There were many factors this year that caused our family to struggle, and although we did the best we could, of course, it was still hard. Our community came together like nothing I have ever seen before in order to ensure we had an amazing Christmas. I would

accommodate a 6-7-foot tree. A tree that size should be no more than $45, especially if you were the one to saw it down. I’m a person that would never get a fake tree.

I have always had real trees. So, if you think the Christmas tree, you’re buying is too expensive, don’t be too timid to say something about it. If you don’t, next year the same size tree will cost you more.

Learn how to treat others You just have love people who don’t have one ounce of common decency who then boohoo about people not having any respect for anyone. They are rude and obnoxious. The only vocabulary they know only consists of fourletter words, added with gestures that really make them appear to have lost all of their marbles. They lack good manners, refinement, and grace. They are the epitome of uncouth. They then complain

GVPENNYSAVER.COM 1-866-812-8111

like to thank Focus on the Children: you are such caring and hardworking people that go above and beyond for those in need. To everyone at Cooper Vision that bought gifts for a family (that you did not know) during a struggling world right now: I could never thank you enough. Also, to Joan Marie, the Angry Rooster, and everyone in Caledonia that assisted with the gifting tree: thank you!

This is a Christmas we will never forget.

Kudos Livingston County Department of Health Hats off to the Livingston County Department of Health!

On December 12th, the Health Department held a ‘drive thru COVID-19 test site,” which my husband and I attended. The system they established was efficient and successful and ran like a ‘well-oiled machine.’ Staff and all who worked the event were professional, pleasant, competent, and caring. Before we arrived back at our home, we received a call to report that our tests were negative!

Thank you! -J & B

about how people have no respect for one another. Well, they need to respect others around them. Ever heard “practice what you preach?”

They are very bad examples for young ones. They should be ashamed of themselves, but they don’t see that they are really hurting themselves in the long run.

Please slow down Thanks go out to the Livingston County Highway Department for resurfacing our county road this summer. They did a great job, but it has now become somewhat of a speedway. It seems like everyone is in quite a hurry, and unfortunately, a few days ago, our beloved family cat was hit and killed near our home.... not saying that speed was a factor but it could have been. Please slow down on our country roads. Merry Christmas to all and hoping that 2021 will be a much better year for all of us.

No fan attendance Fans in the stands again, but there is a catch. Only about 7,000 fans will be allowed to attend the Bills playoff home game in a stadium that can hold about 68,000. This is actually insulting. No fans should attend the games until that stadium is full to capacity.

59 MAIN STREET • BATAVIA • 585.345.6788

“CLASSIC COUNTRY” Celebrating 51 years (1970-2021) STREAMING “LIVE” AT WXRL.COM

New parents often need a respite from the near-constant demands of infants. Dining out can be one of those breaks. When a babysitter is unavailable or if you’re not yet comfortable leaving a little one with someone else, bringing baby along may be possible.

First, find a family-friendly restaurant or try an establishment that has outdoor seating where you can quickly distance yourself from other diners if need be. Time dining out around the baby’s feeding and sleeping schedule. Babies sated by a recent feeding and a relaxing car ride may be more inclined to sleep through your restaurant meal. Just in case, pack an extra bottle or prepare to breastfeed to keep your baby happy.

On behalf of the Ramblin’ Lou Family, we hope that you & your family are safe & well. We look forward to getting back “On The Road Again” with you.

THE BIBLE SAYS:

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10,12) “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10) “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

(Revelation 20:15) “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” (I Peter 2:24,25) For further help, write: Burke Hill Bible Church, P. O.

I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a rose of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse

As community development has thin ned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people , the National Pest M anagement Association (NPM A) has found that many areas of the country continue to report incre ased encounters w ith nuisance w ildlife. “ W hile it can be a unique experience to spot w ildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be disc ouraged from taking up residence,” advises M issy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPM A. “ Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed t o rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, fox es, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected w ith rabies. Because of the risks a ssociated w ith these pests, homeow ners should take extra precautions to protect against them.

RELOCATING FOR A NEW JOB Rent your first home. The Allied survey found that 31 percent of respondents indicated the most challenging part of relocating for a job was finding a home, while 29 percent felt acclimating to their new community was the most challenging aspect of their relocation. Adults who rent their first homes upon relocating can remove some of the pressure to find the perfect home, knowing full well their first home in their new community will be temporary. If possible, rent in a location that makes it easy to immerse yourself in your new community, which should make the adjustment easier. In addition, place items that are unnecessary for day-to-day life in storage. Having some of your possessions already packed should make your next move less stressful.
