NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* A Tip From JoAnn: I like bottled water, but it’s expensive and creates a lot of waste. I have plenty of reusable bottles, but bottled water always seemed more convenient and, frankly, better. I found that what I really like is to take a bottle of very cold water out of the fridge and drink it, so instead of storing those reusable bottles in the cabinet, I fill them straight from the dishwasher and put them in the fridge. Now I have the convenience of bottled water without spending the money, and I happily am not creating waste.

* To remove stubborn contact paper from kitchen shelves, use a hair dryer set on low to loosen the adhesive. Peel away slowly.

* Here’s a trick for removing hardwater stains on windows or glass doors: Apply full-strength fabric softener to surface. Let dry, then use a wet cloth to remove, rinsing the cloth frequently.

* “Hang a bag of clothespins near the laundry basket. Then if something has a stain that needs to be addressed, put a clip on it before adding it to the basket. This way, you’ll know what to pretreat on wash day.” -- D.W. in Washington

* “To keep pants on a hanger from creasing, I slit a paper towel cardboard roll and slip it over the hanger. I tape it together and then put the pants over it. This has worked for me for many years.” -I.R. in Nebraska

* Got a grease stain on your shirt? Cover it with baking soda right away. The baking soda will absorb oil. Repeat several times and launder as quickly as you can.

SAVE TIME WITH EASY MEAL HACKS

Look for recipes with as few ingredients as possible. Dishes that include longer ingredient lists typically require more legwork in the kitchen, which usually involves additional prep steps and sometimes longer cook times. Plus, you’re more likely to already have the necessities on-hand for recipes that call for 5-10 ingredients rather than lengthy lists.

Buy pre-cut vegetables to trim time spent on prep work. One of the processes that can surprisingly consume more time than you realize is cutting,chopping and dicing veggies prior to even really diving into a recipe’s instructions. If you’d still prefer prepping your own fresh produce,try completing your work the night before when it doesn’t interfere with quality time spent with family.

Stock your pantry with the basics to make cooking quicker and easier. From condiments and canned goods to seasonings and spices, keeping the essentials on-hand means less time scrambling for a quick run to the store and more moments spent at home. (Family Features)

Follow along all 4 weeks in October as we spread awareness about breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, recovery and life after breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness SERIES Sponsored By:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

FAQWhat can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

• Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer.

• Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is healthy, work to maintain that weight.

• Be physically active.

• Breast-feed.

• Limit postmenopausal hormone therapy.

How physical activity can help in the fight against breast cancer

Breast cancer is a complex disease that a ects millions of women across the globe each year.

ough the American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that only about 4 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States are under age 40, women of all ages can take steps to protect themselves against this deadly disease. Exercise bene ts women in a myriad of ways, and that includes lowering their risk for breast cancer.

e ACS notes that researchers are increasingly linking exercise to a reduced risk for breast cancer. ough the reasons behind that link remain unclear, some theorize that the positive e ects of exercise on body weight, in ammation, hormones, and energy balance could be why regular physical activity helps women reduce their risk of breast cancer.

Body weight and breast cancer

e National Cancer Institute reports that being obese a er menopause can signi cantly increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. In addition, the ACS attributes the rise in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers to an increased prevalence of excessive body weight. Routine exercise is a highly e ective way to lose weight and keep weight o , which in turn could lower women’s risk for breast cancer.

Being sedentary and breast cancer

Exercise is a not a sedentary activity, and that could be another reason why women who are physically active have a lower risk for breast cancer. e ACS notes that more than one study has linked sitting time to a higher risk of various diseases, including breast cancer. Researchers with the ACS analyzed data from 77,462 women, who they followed for an average of 15.8 years. None of the participants had cancer when the study started, but researchers found that women who sat for six or more hours per day during their free time had a 10 percent greater risk for invasive breast cancer than women who sat for less than three hours per day during free time.

Does physical activity really reduce breast cancer risk?

e human body is complex, and a host of factors, including those like age that women have no control over, can a ect cancer risk. However, engaging in routine physical activity seems to be an e ective way for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer. In fact, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation estimates that one-third of all breast cancer cases could be prevented with positive lifestyle choices that help women maintain a healthy weight, including exercise.

Routine physical activity can be a signi cant weapon in women’s arsenal as they continue their e orts to prevent and overcome breast cancer.

REDUCE RADON IN YOUR HOME

Testing can determine if radon is present in a home. Homeowners can rely on professional companies or purchase self-testing kits at home improvement retailers. If a test comes back positive for high levels, conduct a follow-up test before taking any measures to fix the problem. Unusual weather can increase radon levels. If repeat testing yields the same results, efforts to reduce radon levels are necessary.

Homeowners must keep in mind that no two situations are the same and various techniques may be necessary to reduce radon levels in a home. Simply opening the windows in a home may not be enough, and many radon remedies require the skilled services of professional contractors who are experienced in radon reduction procedures. Homes can be fixed, but some instances may be best left to the professionals.

Unfortunately, many people now feel that COVID isn’t a deadly threat anymore, but if you’re an older adult or a person with chronic or disabling conditions, getting COVID can still kill you. Getting Vaccinated was de nitely the right decision for me.“

David Wantuck - Amherst, NY

“Everyone is di erent. If you catch COVID, there’s no way to predict how severe it might be. It can kill you or you can have no symptoms at all. That’s why I got Vaccinated.”

Krystle Babbs - Bu alo, NY

If you are listening to all the misinformation out there, listen to this. The COVID vaccine is still the safest and most e ective way of reducing risk of a serious illness or death. Just ask your doctor, I did.”

REGISTRY TIPS

hesitate to include expensive items on your registry. Couples also may be hesitant to include especially expensive items on their wedding registries. However, the couples’ parents and other close relatives may be honored to purchase more expensive items, so couples should not feel embarrassed to include them on their lists.

also important to note that many retailers, after couples’ wedding days have come and gone, discount registry items that weren’t purchased. So even if no one purchases the more expensive items, including them on a registry may significantly reduce their cost for couples who want to buy such items themselves after tying the knot.

Batavia Pet Rescue Matters & Saves Lives

BY LORI BRUTON

Rescuing pets is important. Knowledge is power, and most people don’t know what’s happening with pets and that so many need a safe, loving home. Pets cannot speak for themselves. It’s our responsibility to look out for these little creatures that we love. ey give us unconditional love and companionship.

Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue in Batavia is a nonpro t Humane Society organization established by Jaime Medina. Medina is originally from Queens, New York. She moved to Arizona before settling in Western New York.

Medina found that Western New York had more to o er for her and has a culture that truly loves and values its pet companions. She primarily rescues and rehabilitates dogs; however, she has a connection with cat rescues, as well. It was a rare occasion when she rescued an Eastern painted turtle that she named Pat. Pat is doing well and still resides with her.

It all began nearly 20 years ago.

Medina rescued Pepe, a Toy Manchester Terrier, from a shelter in 2003. He became the inspiration for Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue. Pepe acted as the papa dog, mentoring every dog that was taken in and teaching them how to behave.

Some dogs get adopted if it is in their best interest and if they can be matched with the right owner. Senior pets stay at the pet rescue sanctuary with Medina, especially if adoption would not be best, which depends on such things as the dog’s background, temperament, age, and how well the dog would or would not adjust. Not only does Medina rescue pets and place them in new homes, but she also trains dogs while educating and helping people learn about basic pet care and e ective methods of correcting unwanted behaviors.

Medina’s goal is to nd responsible, kind people who are looking for animals and deter those same people from buying pets from backyard breeders. ere are several homeless pets in Phoenix, especially chihuahuas. In fact, there is an overpopulation of pets in that area.

It’s like a matchmaker service for pets. Medina matches the right pet with therightownersobothhumanandpetwillthrive. ishappensbyplacing animals from di erent areas in good homes. Whether the pet is homeless or in a shelter, it can be matched by size and breed to the pet seeker who wants to adopt according to their home situation.

In order for this to happen, Medina requires funds and help from Phoenix to have the dog released, assure proper vetting, and obtain a health certi cate to bring the pet to New York. Unfortunately, the pandemic put a damper on her progress in this area. She couldn’t get grants, funding, or donations.

“If each person could help one animal, it would make a big di erence,” said Medina.

Maybe a neighbor is struggling to buy dog food. Ask how you can help. Donate to a local rescue, shelter, or private pet owner. Drop o food to dog

shelters or drop o supplies like dog pads, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. Dog food prices are high. Keeping enough on hand is a challenge, especially for large dogs.

Large dogs is where Goardy comes in. Medina called him her “boyfriend dog.” He was a pitbull great dane mix that she rescued when she lived in Arizona. Goardy rode with her everywhere. He would hold her hand in the car while she was driving. is large dog was an ambassador for her rescue organization until he passed away.

Contrary to popular belief, Medina states that pitbulls are a wonderful breed of dog as long as they are well-trained and handled properly. You may remember the TV show, e Little Rascals. e dog on that show was an American Pitbull Terrier named Petey.

Goardy trained other dogs and people, showing them that pitbulls can be good dogs. He let people pet him and love on him. He was a learning tool for the community. Goardy helped save the lives of many pitbulls.

According to Medina, the key to rescuing an animal is providing security, trust, and love. Being a pet owner is a responsibility that you need to be ready for. One shouldn’t get a pet just because it’s cute. Animals are living creatures that have needs and feelings such as food, security, direction, and socialization.

If you need help with your animals, reach out to someone who can guide you. Basic care is important. Education and training are available. It’s also important to get your pets spayed and neutered.

e bond and attachment humans have with pets is special. Medina said it’s hard to see the pets go when they get their forever home, but she o en stays in touch with the new owners.

Anyone seeking to rescue a pet and give it a good home can rest assured the right match is waiting for them. Rescuing can save lives, including yours. If you need a faithful friend, reach out and connect with Pepe’s Kids Pet Rescue. All the animals are Pepe’s kids. His legacy lives on.

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,interestinexperiencingethnicdiningislikelytoremainconsistent.

GET ON THE FAST TRACK TO BEING ORGANIZED

• Keep a cleanup bin handy. Put an empty basket in a central location, using it to gather stray items scattered around main living areas. Once everything has been collected, items can be returned to their rightful place.

• Make the bed. One of the easiest ways to keep a room looking neat is to make the bed each day. Store clean linens in a pillow case so the entire set is together and ready to go.

• Purge closets and cabinets. There’s no point allowing old, stained or damaged items to take up space. Set aside days to clear expired medication from the bathroom cabinet, discard ripped or ill-fitting clothing from the closet, or to dispose of broken toys in a nursery.

• Write things down. Tasks seem more manageable when they are written down in black-and-white and can be crossed off as completed. Writing things down also helps make the mind feel more organized.

• Exercise caution before buying. Don’t buy more than you need; otherwise, you’ll have to find space for extra items. Also, keep inventory of food and supplies in the house so you’re not unwittingly buying duplicates.

• Sort mail and paperwork. Establish different categories for papers so they can be sorted and discarded as needed. These may include bills, invitations, school papers, and junk mail. Reduce paper clutter by opting for digital correspondence when possible.

• Make one repair at a time. Tackle that source of stress by focusing on one repair and seeing it through to completion.

• Delegate the work. If kids want to help organize, let them. It can be a fun project for an adolescent to rearrange the pantry or offer their ideas for corralling messes.

STOCK UP ON HEALTHFUL FOOD

(NAPSI) — During these challenging times, people are avoiding the supermarket and, instead, stocking up on shelf-stable and frozen foods. Unfortunately, these can often be loaded with preservatives and lack nutrition. Many families also resort to take-out foods that can be high in sodium, hydrogenated fats and refined sugars.

“The best solution is to find healthy, prepared products that can be purchased in bulk at the supermarket, online and delivered to your doorstep,” advises consumer trends expert Merilee Kern.

One of Kern’s personal favorites is Veggies Made Great, which offers easy, familyfriendly and delicious veggie-rich meals and snacks such as muffins, frittatas and veggie cakes. They can fill freezers and keep families healthy—even during stressful times.

Vegetables including carrots, zucchini and kale are the first and primary ingredients in any Veggies Made Great item, and all are free of gluten, soy, peanuts and dairy. Available in the freezer section, each is individually wrapped and can be quickly and easily heated in the oven or microwave. It’s an easy and tasty way to have veggiedriven nutrition on the menu every day.

You can find them at www.TheHealthfoodStore.com and locate retailers at www.VeggiesMadeGreat.com.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Storing Food When ere’s No Space

During the past two years when I stocked up on grocery staples, I ended up with canned foods and dry goods stored in three di erent places around the house.

I’d have to check all three places to be sure I grabbed the green beans with the nearest expiration date. Pasta was the same. Worse was when I discovered that I wasn’t having spaghetti for dinner a er all because I’d used the last of the pasta and only thought I had one more tucked away somewhere.

Enter the internet and the wide selection of kitchen storage products available.

I wish I’d known of this two years ago: a metal stacking unit that holds 36 cans. I put it on the bu et in the dining room, all cans in easy reach around the corner from the kitchen.

Not having a pantry, I’ve pulled the hall coat closet into service, moving the hangar bar close to the ceiling and opening up the whole bottom half of the space for four rows of wire shelving and baskets for dry goods and envelopes.

And when all seems lost, when you have no pantry and no basement, when your coat closet can’t be recon gured, there are still handy places you can store food. A small bookcase will hold cans. Slide a few baskets under an end table. Cereal keepers are smaller than boxes. A row of clear canisters for envelopes will let you see what you have at a glance. e immediate bene t of having alternate storage places is that it opens up space in your cupboards for currently used items. e box of instant rice and the jar of peanut butter will all be right in front of you.

Remember to get a black marker to write expiration dates in big letters! (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

How Important Is Your Child?

I will prepare your child to be competitive in the changing new world if he or she is committed to excellence in a rigorous academic discipline. e education system in America today is not preparing our youth for the new world of intellectual competition. Privileged children from wealthy families get private education. ey are not being prepared for technical skills or trades. ey are being prepared to become intellectual leaders. e public system of education in this nation does not prepare intellectuals. at system was destroyed with school centralization.

I want students who are devoted to intellectual achievement. I also want home-schooled students who desire to be intellectually ahead of the norm. I want students who will work hard to embrace the world of science and mathematics and literature and philosophy and real history rather than history by political opinion. I want students who will understand that knowledge is power.

If your child has a passion for academic achievement, I want your child as my student. You need to decide what you want for your child. An interview is necessary for acceptance into my program.

Academic Enrichment

DID YOU KNOW?

The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

on or holding the eye dropper directly over her eye will freak her out. Instead, keep her comfortable and unaware of the dropper until the very last moment. Here’s how:

-- Approach her from the side, and pet her into a sitting position, giving lots of praise. If she is a large dog, have a friend cradle her from the side or stand behind her, placing your legs behind her shoulders so she can’t back up. If she is small, cradle her until she is calm.

• Cup one hand below Maisie’s chin so you can gently li her head upward.

• Quickly wipe the eyes clean using a damp cotton ball or cloth.

• Unscrew the eyedropper top or have a friend do it where Maisie can’t see.

• Li her head and gently tug down her lower eyelid.

• Bring the eye dropper up and hold it at an angle to the eye so it’s close but not directly in her view.

• Gently tug her upper eyelid upward and quickly put a drop into the eye, being careful not to touch the eye.

• Repeat with the other eye.

• Wipe away excess medicine with a clean cotton ball.

• Give Maisie a treat right away She deserves it!

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE

In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year.

Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.

In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, andtheAmericasallrecordedarounda5percentincreaseininternational arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.

Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.

Infrequenttravelersorthosewhohavenevertraveledmaynotunderstand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.

1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.

2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.

3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.

4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective. Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.

Statistics indicate more and more men, women and children are overweight or obese. The National Institutes of Health state that more than 35 percent of adults in the United States are obese and more than 34 percent are overweight, while 17 percent of children and adolescents in the United States are obese. Obesity rates are three times as high among today’s children than they were among youngsters just one generation ago.

As individuals attempt to lose weight, they may wonder what is the most effective way to accomplish that objective. Some argue that the secret to weight loss is lots of exercise, while others insist that calorie control is the key. When it comes to slimming down, some may be surprised by what the experts have to say.

The Mayo Clinic advises that cutting calories through dietary changes appears to promote weight loss more effectively than physical exercise alone. According to Shawn M. Talbott, Ph.D., a nutritional biochemist and former director of the University of Utah Nutrition Clinic, weight loss is about 75 percent diet and 25 percent exercise. People generally see the largest short-term results when they eat healthy foods and healthy portions.

Poor diets can be difficult to overcome, as it takes a lot of exercise to spur dramatic weight loss, whereas a low-calorie, healthy diet can be a simple and effective means to losing weight. Nutritionists often point to a balanced diet that focuses on fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and whole-grain carbohydrates over fad diets or ones that require the adherence to strict guidelines that are difficult to follow for lengthy periods of time.

But exercise should not be abandoned in favor of a low-calorie diet. Dr. YoniFreedhoff,whorunsoneofthelargestobesityclinicsinCanada,says that weight loss occurs from what’s created in the kitchen, but health is gained in the gym. Dr. Freedhoff often advises his clients to make smart changes to the foods they eat to spur weight loss, and then incorporate exercise into their lifestyles as a way to keep the body in top form. Regular physical exercise is necessary to maintain strong bones, build muscle, improve flexibility, and keep the cardiovascular system working efficiently. Exercise also releases endorphins, which can improve mental alertness and feelings of well-being.

The Mayo Clinic notes that studies have shown that people who lose weight and keep it off over the long haul are those who get regular physical activity.

When it comes to losing weight, the foods a person eats play a bigger role than exercise. But it is the combination of both diet and exercise that can lead to greater overall health and sustained weight loss.

Cardiac Stent, While Helpful, Can Bring Risks

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 71-year-old woman diagnosed with coronary artery disease. My latest calcium score was 801. My right coronary artery was 80% blocked, and the left artery was 25%. My cardiologist asked me to decide if I want to do angioplasty or not. I don’t have any symptoms, only shortness of breath on exertion. I can’t decide what to do. My cardiologist seemed against getting a stent, not that he said that exactly, but he stressed the risk of getting one. -- M.C. ANSWER: A cardiac stent is a device placed into an artery of the heart after it is re-opened, usually by a balloon in a procedure called an angioplasty. Stents help reduce the risk of the artery closing off after the procedure. In people with stable coronary artery disease, opening up a blood vessel can reduce symptoms, but has not been shown, despite many studies, to reduce risk of heart attack or death. You said you were asymptomatic, but shortness of breath is one of the major symptoms of blocked coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that provide oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. It can be very difficult at times to judge whether a person’s shortness of breath is coming from blockages in the artery or not, and stress testing can help answer whether this is likely. People can have shortness of breath on exertion for many reasons, including lung problems, anemia, lack of exercise or persistent symptoms after a COVID infection.

While the decision is ultimately up to you -- it’s your body -- it’s best if the cardiologist gives you a definite recommendation and the reasoning behind it. You can’t make an informed decision without being informed. A stent might improve your shortness of breath, but there are risks of bleeding, infection and even heart damage from a stent placement. It’s not to be undertaken lightly. If your cardiologist doesn’t feel that your shortness of breath stems from the blockages, then a stent is not likely to be helpful. Revisit with your cardiologist to get a clear idea of the potential benefit and harm specific for your case, and bring a friend or family member to assist you.

Do you have HEEL pain or ARCH pain?

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS

is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the rst few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the brous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increase age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also o er surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

We Care About Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

ADDRESSING MALOCCLUSION

Malocclusion simply means “bad bite.” It occurs when the lower and upper teeth don’t align when the mouth is closed. A very common and treatable dental condition, malocclusion is more common in mouths with crowded or crooked teeth or if the upper and lower jaws are out of alignment. Malocclusion can lead to dental and other issues if left untreated. Those with malocclusions are at higher risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and losing adult teeth. Malocclusions can also affect the way a person talks or chews. It can even have an impact on mental health and self-esteem since the most common symptom of malocclusion is the way a person with a noticeable overbite or underbite looks.

If crooked, unevenly spaced, damaged, neglected, or otherwise

unattractive teeth are preventing you from smiling, take care of the problem with the help of your dentist. Here at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we care about how you feel, and we’ll work with you to help you achieve optimal oral health and maximum smile power, from malocclusion modifications, to 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.

P.S. Malocclusion can sometimes cause pain when biting or chewing.

HOW TO HELP SENIORS ADAPT TO AUTOMOTIVE TECH

Be patient: Each person adapts to a new technology at his or her own pace. It’s important to remain patient when teaching aging drivers how to use the tech in their vehicles. Old habits die hard, and while some drivers may quickly adapt to tech like backup cameras, others may not be so quick to abandon driving techniques they’ve been safely using for decades. Stay the course, remain patient and allow senior drivers to adapt at their own pace.

Thank you!

Recently, my husband and I went out to Texas Roadhouse restaurant to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I needed some help with him for his walker and oxygen tank cart. A lady and her family were also walking in and asked to help me. When we got inside, the wait staff helped also helped us to our seats. It was a very nice time for us. The lady and her family ended up sitting across from us, and we had friendly conversations. When she got ready to leave, she told us, "Happy anniversary. I paid for your meals." I was in disbelief and shock. I said to her, "Are you kidding?" She said no and that she paid for our meals. I still could not get over it. At the end of our meal, the servers also helped us out to our car. Wow! It was nice to see the good people still out there. Thank you! - Bonnie L.

Congratulations!

Thank you, Ray Weidman and Brian Lampher, for stopping by the Little Lakes Community Center table at The Festival at the Falls in Honeoye Falls. They won our raffle for a free John Dady concert ticket. Congratulations, and we will see you at the Concert on Dec. 10th!

Thank you, Stranger!

On July 21st, we were at the Walmart in Brockport, and as we left our car, we dropped some paperwork. A very nice person found those papers and took the time to actually look at them and found our insurance company which was local. They went out of their way to return them to the agency. We got a call while we were still in Walmart that they had our papers. I can't express how grateful we are to that person. It really made us realize there are still great people in the world. Thank You again!

Town claims no responsibility!

In January of 2022, our town’s snowplow got off course and knocked down three mailboxes in a row. Mine and that of my neighbor to the north and that of my neighbor to the south respectively. My post was taken off at ground level as was one of my neighbor’s. Their mailboxes were replaced by the town in a timely manner. Mine was overlooked for some reason that no one has explained. After numerous phone calls to the town and to the highway superintendent, the post for my mailbox was finally replaced. It only took eight months! The superintendent claimed my post was rotted (It is not), and denied responsibility for replacement, claiming it broke because it was rotted. If that is the case, why were the mailboxes to my immediate north and south also damaged? Here’s why he, and any town that claims no responsibility, is wrong. If it were a person that was crushed instead of a mailbox, would the town be liable? You’d better believe it. Town employees can’t destroy private property and not be held responsible.

Stay back from tow trucks!

On Friday morning while traveling north on the freeway, I was behind a tow truck with a small SUV on its flatbed. Suddenly, the front fender came flying off the SUV and hit my car. I did my best to avoid it, but with heavy traffic and a 30-mph wind, that fender hit my Cadillac in the front left wheel, causing damages. It happened at a split and the driver went south as I continued north to my destination. When I reached out to the tow company, he said that he would check the rear facing camera and call me back. I could not veer away as I would have caused a major accident, but obviously, this company doesn’t care. Now my insurance will go up if I call in a claim even though I did nothing wrong. Imagine if that fender had hit my windshield at 60 mph with a 30-mph wind. As a car hauler wife, I know that towing companies must check their towed vehicles for loose parts, just as car haulers do, so that this type of situation never occurs.

Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Failing to get adequate sleep can have an adverse impact on your career. According to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School, failure to get enough sleep, even for just one night, can impair a person’s ability to function by affecting his or her ability to focus and access high-level cognitive functions. A panel of experts from sleep, anatomy and physiology, as well as pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology convened by the National Sleep Foundation in 2015 recommended adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Make a concerted effort to get more sleep if you’re falling short of those recommended guidelines.

4 EASY WAYS TO CREATE MORE TIME IN YOUR DAY

Managing one’s time can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. As a result, adults with hectic schedules and multiple responsibilities may pine for an extra hour or two in the day. While it’s impossible to extend a day from 24 to 26 hours, there are ways for busy men and women to create more time in their day.

1. Embrace organization tools. Whether it’s day planners, smartphone reminders or more traditional print calendars with meetings and deadlines written on them, organization tools can greatly cut back on time spent trying to remember and/or confirm meeting times, project schedules, deadlines, and other obligations.

2. Assess your productivity. Some people are most productive in the mornings, while others do not hit their strides until after lunch. Identify the time or times of day when you tend to be most productive, and make an effort to focus exclusively on work during these times. Resist any urge to schedule meetings or conference calls during those times of day when you are most productive, as it can be hard to multitask or focus when discussing projects with coworkers or clients.

3. Minimize distractions. Social media, the internet and texting can distract attention away from tasks that must be completed, ultimately affecting how quickly and efficiently such projects are finished. Make a concerted effort to avoid social media and the internet while at work, and turn off smartphone alerts that entice you to go online. In addition, turn off text alerts if they are proving too great a distraction.

4. Reconsider your commute. Professionals who drive to work but find themselves sitting in traffic on their way to and from work can investigate possible alternatives to driving themselves. Public transportation might not get you to work more quickly than driving yourself, but time spent on a bus or train can be used to work on projects and check and answer work-related emails, clearing up time later in the day. Time spent behind the wheel of an automobile cannot be safely spent working.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE AND CONNECTED DURING A MOVE

(NAPSI) — Planning a move can be stressful, but planning a move in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic brings a new set of challenges. Stay safe and connected with some smart pre-move planning; here are some tips:

Follow Approved Protocols — If you can’t postpone your move, take extra precautions before moving in to ensure your new place is clean. Follow general disinfecting guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Among other surfaces, disinfect doors, door handles, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, countertops and—something many people don’t really think about—cabinet and doorknobs as well as light switches.

Safely Stay Connected — New work-from-home protocols and online schooling mean reliable Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Prior to your move, SmartMove can connect you to your local provider and help arrange new Touchless Installs that let you safely connect your tech services yourself. Cable companies deliver equipment with step-by-step activation information so you can set up your system on your own, or with support over the phone, online, through chat functionality or video tutorials. In most cases, no technician will need to enter your home.

Keep in Touch & Maintain Daily Routines — You may be staying in more, but don’t forget to take a break from unpacking boxes. Use your new online connection to find delivery services to help stock your pantry and fridge and refill prescriptions. Your new house will feel more like home if you take time to watch your favorite shows, maintain your exercise program or explore online courses that can help you discover new talents or resume old hobbies. Don’t forget to connect with friends through group video chats or viewing parties—you can even take your friends

a virtual tour of

new place!

SAVE ENERGY AND MONEY

(NAPSI)—Don’t let window replacement become a “pane” in your wallet. There’s a disconnect between saving money on energy with window replacements, according to government agencies. In fact, they found, it may take decades to recoup the cash spent on the installation of new, energy-efficient windows.

The Problem

The assessed value of adding 20 new energy-efficient windows in California, for example, may range from $10,220 to $18,580 based on a 2019 building assessors manual listing $511 to $929 for each window. Annual energy savings for the replacement of existing windows in a home are from $27 to $111 for dual-pane windows and $126 to $465 for single-pane windows, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. This means it may take decades to financially justify window replacements based on energy savings alone.

An Answer

Fortunately, there’s an alternative. Window films offer advanced energy savings and other benefits and can be quickly installed at a fraction of the cost of replacement windows, often with a return on investment in under three years.

“Window films professionally installed on structurally soundsingle or double-pane windows may reduce energy consumption by as much as 30 percent, while the installation cost may be 91.5 percent less than putting in new windows,”explainedDarrellSmith of the nonprofit International Window Film Association.
