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.

7 Unus ua l Hol i day T r a di t ions You M ay Wa n t t o T ry T h i s Y e a r B Y E L A H A H A S H M AT U L L A H & K I M B E R LY L O N G

H

olidays are perfect excuses to get away from our usual day-to-day routine, spend time with family, eat delicious food, and simply have a good time. What better way to spend them than with the people we love having lots of fun? In the U.S., we might think of traditions like “Elf on a Shelf ” as a modern “unusual tradition.” Around the world, other creative holiday traditions have arisen, and they are very interesting!

1

Have you ever ordered Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) on Christmas instead of a home cooked meal? (If you have, no judgement!) In Japan, this is a tradition. Christmas is not celebrated as much in Japan, however, it can be said that their taste for American food is rather strong. Their choice of celebratory meal each year on December 25th is KFC. How did this come to be, you ask? In 1974, the franchise offered an “American Holiday Meal” that consisted of mashed potatoes, a roll, and fried chicken. This has continued to be a tradition for many Japanese families more than 40 years later. In fact, the fastfood restaurant requests that orders are placed at least two months in advance!

anymore to give to other children as extra presents when Santa visits them.

The toys are placed in a special sack waiting for Santa under the Christmas tree. This tradition teaches kids that the best part of this holiday is not receiving gifts, but giving them, especially to the those in need.

5

Design a family coat of arms! This is another tradition tied to a holiday theme: family. Create your own coat of arms displaying your family pride. To do that, draw a shield on a large piece of paper, then decorate it with a picture of your family. Include a pictograph or symbol for your family or last name. This tradition will bring family members closer together, and it can be a fun way to discuss your lineage while showing how proud you are of your roots!

6

It is also traditional in many cultures to celebrate the new year. This year, consider trying the El Ano Viejo tradition popular in several Latin countries. Build a dummy representing the El Ano Viejo, loosely translated as “the old year,” using cardboard.

Dress the dummy by drawing clothes on it or better yet by gluing scraps of old clothes from each family member. Write down a list of any of your faults and misfortunes on a piece of paper. At midnight exactly, tear the El Ano Viejo to shreds or throw the shreds into a fire and let them burn. While the El Ano Viejo is being destroyed, read the misfortunes out loud to make them vanish along with the old year. This could be a way to relax your mind about the new year and look forward to it while destroying your previous worries and anxieties.

2

In Spain, there is a holiday tradition that some may find a bit shocking. Instead of an elf on a shelf, families place what they see as the most important holiday figurine, “El Caganer,” on display. This translates roughly to “the defecator,” and this is where it gets interesting. The figurine is a porcelain male soldier with his trousers pulled down.

The man is in a squatting position, taking a “number two.” Over the years, this small, indecent statue has placed alongside the Nativity scene. Legend has it that early Spanish farmers would have horrible luck with their crops if they did not do this during the holidays. The tradition still stands today, but the figurines can now hold different faces such as those of celebrities, sports stars, and famous singers.

7

Another way to celebrate and welcome a promising new year is to bang pots and pans on New Year’s Eve right as the clock strikes midnight. The idea behind this unusual tradition is to use the noise to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. This may also provide an opportunity to have fun and welcome the new year together with our families—and with a bang—while starting the new year fresh with optimism!

3

In Oaxaca, Mexico, this unique tradition is held close to the heart, even if others find it strange. It involves a radish, a small, edible root vegetable.

During the holiday season, this root vegetable is intricately carved, like the way pumpkins are carved in the United Stated during Halloween. Oaxaca’s annual celebration consists of the sophisticated carving of a radish on the 23rd of December. These gorgeous creations are sold during the holiday season to be used as a center piece for the table on the night of Christmas, which is widely celebrated in Spain as “Navidad.” “Feliz Navidad,” as in the popular Christmas song, translates to “Merry Christmas.”

4

Some holiday traditions are tied to the Christmas spirit rather than a particular culture, such as teaching kids about giving back! Since December holidays are all about giving presents and having a good time with our loved ones, why not teach them the art of giving back? In this Christmas tradition, parents let their kids choose from the toys they own but do not play with

Shoppers across the country routinely make the holiday season one of the biggest spending periods of the year. American Research Group, Inc., said that in 2015 the average predicted expenditure on gifts equaled $882, which was up from $861 the previous year.

Many holiday shoppers worry about whether or not they will have enough money for gifts, while others anticipate using credit cards or other financing methods to stretch their abilities to spend even further. This can make the holiday season more stressful than it needs to be while affecting finances into the new year. Budgeting for the holidays is a great way to keep spending in check.

deb@brixwood.com Serving All of Western New York Residential | Commercial Real Estate Sales & Property Management 4112 W. Main St. • Suite A, Batavia 14020 • Office: 585.204.0612 • nexthome.com

S E V RA Renewed faith I want to thank the office manager, Lori, for going above and beyond the call of duty for me, a customer. I called up concerning an item I wanted picked up. The representative I was speaking to wasn't the friendliest representative that I had spoken to at [local company]. I will not name her, but she just had a way about her when it came to speaking to a customer.

She did not display any kindness for my situation, and I finally asked to speak with a supervisor. I explained my predicament.

Lori was genuinely concerned, so much so that she put an order in to have the item picked up as early as the next day.

Wow! That is service for you! The representative who I had spoken to earlier said that they wouldn't even pick the item up at all. Thanks, Lori!

Great work!

I recently met Jose Ayala. He drove from Rochester to Geneseo to pick up my old refrigerator. He uses old appliances to teach young people how to repair them. Thanks for doing great work with young people, Jose!

Unbelievable!

I still cannot believe that a total stranger paid for my week’s worth of groceries at Honeoye Falls Marketplace! She was ahead of me and had checked out, but had heard me tell the cashier that I would appreciate it if she could put the filled grocery bags into the shopping cart as I had had a really rotten week and could not lift.This kind-hearted stranger heard me say this and had somehow indicted to the cashier that she would pay for my groceries. When the total came up, both she and the cashier told me that the groceries had been paid for. I was so taken off guard. I know I did assure her that I would “pay this kindness forward,” and I certainly will. I still get goosebumps when I think of this woman’s generosity!

Foreign Aid The USA sends ten million dollars in foreign aid to Israel every day. Think of what ten million dollars a day could do for places in America. This generous giving should be stopped and the ten million per day should be given to towns in the USA. Slow down!

You are moronic to be speeding through a small subdivision where I live and have two kids. You are gaining nothing and putting lives in danger. I can hear the tires squealing around the bend and you slamming on the breaks, and for what? To get home and turn on your tv? You're a clown. They should tear up the road so your suspension gets destroyed as punishment for your stupidity!

Global Warming To the person denying global warming: Do you think the world is lying to you? Yes, we've been talking about it for years because it's a gradual thing; it's not going to happen overnight.

We've been warned for years. We can now see it happening. If this isn't enough for you to open up your mind and make sense of this, nothing will.

Aug 30, 2021: It was the first time on record, and it was only the fourth time that temperatures there—an ice-capped expanse two miles above sea level, located in the very center of the Arctic island's interior—had risen above freezing. That’s a warning! Are you not aware that there are more wildfires, and they're burning hotter and longer? This is because there's more drought. Can you explain what's happening to our coral reefs? Why are they bleaching out? I don't have enough room here to tell you everything you need to be told. Please educate yourself.

Cheers to the Broadway Theatre League Thanks for bringing another world class musical to Rochester.

I attended the Simon & Garfunkel show last Tuesday evening and it was sensational. Their music and lyrics are timeless, and the performers showed such respect to the famous duo with precision and aplomb. Thanks once again for providing such an enjoyable evening!

Preowned Items Can Be Good For The Environment Visit consignment stores: Consignment shops and Goodwill(R) stores are popular places to buy preowned items. These stores take donations or offer items for sale on consignment, which means once sold the person who provided the item gets a portion of the sale.

When browsing the racks of these stores, it’s possible to discover highend items mixed in with less expensive items. Shoppers may find designer handbags and clothing for much less than they would sell at retail, especially if the pieces are one or two seasons old. Relying on these stores to supplement classic wardrobe pieces is cost-effective and beneficial to the environment. If you regularly shop consignment stores, you can develop a rapport with the shopkeeper, who may alert you when new items are available.

We Care About

Your Smiles

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

Why Do Older Folks Have Balance Issues?

By Keith Roach, M.D.

CAVITIES: WHAT ARE THEY? Tooth enamel is the durable, protective outer layer of teeth. Bacteria in the mouth use ingested sugars to create acids that deteriorate this protective layer, forming cavities. Because enamel does not regenerate, dentists advise daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing to halt this destruction. A cavity begins as a white spot, which can be healed. However, over time, discoloration and decay occurs,, turning the spot from brown to black.

Cavities primarily form on the tops of the teeth as well as in between them, where food becomes impacted, creating more bacteria. If not properly addressed, cavities cause sensitivity, pain, infection, and loss of sound natural teeth, making cavity prevention the first line of defense in avoiding permanent tooth loss.

Cavity-causing bacteria and its resultant damage can be controlled if we deal with bacterial plaque activity on a daily basis.

A toothbrush alone, however, no matter how often used, cannot do the whole job. It takes the combined effort of smart eating, conscientious daily brushing and flossing, and professional visits to promote total oral health as well as complete body health. If it’s been too long since you treated your teeth and gums to professional care, now would be a good time to call BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL for an appointment. You can reach us at 585.343.4246, 6 Batavia City Centre.

P. S. One-third of a human tooth, known as the root, is hidden beneath the gums, making it vitally important to keep gums healthy to ensure oral health.

INFLAMMATION Inflammation can affect anyone, and those who have battled it likely have nothing positive to say. But while few people may associate inflammation with something good, inflammation is actually a process by which the body’s white blood cells and the substances those cells produce protect the body from infection at the hands of bacteria, viruses and other foreign organisms.

While inflammation is protective by nature, sometimes an inflammatory response is triggered by mistake.

When that happens, the body’s immune system, which is designed to protect the body, begins to damage its own tissues. The resulting symptoms of this faulty immune system response may include joint pain, joint stiffness, loss of function in the joints, and swelling of the joints. None of those symptoms are comfortable, and people suffering from them may be on the lookout for ways to alleviate their pain and suffering.

While anyone battling persistent inflammation should speak with their physicians to explore their treatment options, a preliminary search of how to best treat inflammation will no doubt turn up information about heat therapy and cold therapy.

LIVING WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Participants Needed

---

DEAR DR. ROACH: Apparently, it is common for older people to have balance issues. Do these balance problems usually stem more from muscular issues or inner ear issues? -- E.M. ANSWER: It is often a combination of issues that lead to balance problems in older adults. Inner ear problems, where the organs of balance are located, are a major cause. However, balance problems are exacerbated by muscle weakness, vision problems, arthritis and medications, to name a few common ones.

The body has many safeguards to keep us from falling. If the balance system can’t tell us our exact position in space, our eyes can, and the neurological system uses fine muscle control to keep us upright and safe. We can often do well even with one system not working properly. When multiple systems are affected, falls are more common.

Improving balance and reducing fall risk often involves multiple interventions. One is working on balance directly. This can be achieved with home exercises; group exercises, like tai chi and yoga, which have the added advantage of increasing muscle control; or with a skilled therapist such as physical or occupational therapy. Making sure vision is as good as possible and staying on top of joint, muscle and neurological conditions will help reduce fall risk.

Medications are so often the source of balance and fall problems that many medical practices (including mine) review medications at every visit to look for errors, medicines that have combined toxicities, medicines that are less safe in older adults and any medicines that might safely be discontinued. ***

8375 East Main Rd., LeRoy • 768-7370 RIDESHARING SAFETY TIPS Ridesharing is a growing trend among travelers from all walks of life.

Some proponents of ridesharing support the concept because they feel it’s an eco-friendly means of traveling, while others find it’s a great way to save money. Still others employ third-party ridesharing services as a responsible, affordable way to travel when going out for a night on the town.

With a greater number of people sharing rides and interacting with strangers than ever before, safety while ridesharing is an issue to take seriously. While ridesharing trips often occur without incident, there have been some instances of violent altercations involving drivers and passengers. According to the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association, ridesharing companies use a background check service to confirm criminal convictions and to make sure drivers are legally able to drive. However, these services may not perform FBI fingerprinting checks conducted by law enforcement officials, whereas taxi drivers are subjected fingerprinting. So some ridesharing drivers who have committed crimes in the past but have never been caught may pass ridesharing background checks, but they might not pass tests that taxi companies would insist they submit to, such as fingerprinting tests.

While ridesharing, whether it entails carpooling or using an established ridesharing service, can be convenient, passengers must take steps to ensure their own safety when sharing rides.

GARDENING IN AUTUMN Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens.

However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

111 CEDAR ST. • BATAVIA • 585-343-4899 www.cedarstreetonline.com Why mulch?

Mulching can benefit plants around a property in various ways. Many people lay mulch because the mulch helps soil retain moisture in the summer, when temperatures tend to be at their hottest. This can help plants survive summer heat waves.

Mulch also can be used to suppress weeds. Weeds, which steal moisture plants need to build strong roots and survive summer, need light to grow. When laid correctly, mulch deprives weeds of the light they need to grow. Organic mulches can even provide homes for crickets and a type of beetle that feed on weed seeds.

Mulch also can deter harmful pests depending on the type of mulch homeowners choose. When purchasing mulch, homeowners will have to choose between the aforementioned organic mulch or man-made mulches, which may be made of plastic or rubber. While man-made mulches may repel pests, they also can have adverse effects. Plastic, for example, can heat up in the summer and cause plants to burn.

Certain organic mulches can repel insects that can threaten plants.

That’s because the majority of organic mulches increase the amount of beneficial bacteria in the soil, and they also increase the presence of helpful insects that do not pose a threat to plant life. Those helpful insects help keep harmful insects at bay. Compost is a type of organic mulch that may attract harmful insects. While that does not mean homeowners should shy away from using compost as mulch, they should know that they may need to employ organic insecticides to combat their unwanted guests.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Beware Holiday Foods, Ornaments, Plants DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Please remind your readers of how important it is to keep their pets away from holiday foods. Some foods, like chocolate, can be deadly poisonous to dogs, while rich foods and ingredients like onions or raisins can be dangerous for cats and dogs. -- Jessica in New Jersey DEAR JESSICA: You told them, and thank you! The holiday season, with plenty of parties, family and food, can be hectic for everyone, but it’s important to monitor pets and make sure they’re kept away from potentially harmful items.

Many foods, not just chocolate but onions, grapes and raisins, nuts, avocados and other holiday foods can cause house pets great harm. Store them well out of reach, and keep pets out of the kitchen when cooking and away from serving tables.

A more extensive list of common foods that can be poisonous to pets is available from the Humane Society of the United States (www. humanesociety.org).

Christmas tree ornaments also can potentially be harmful. Cats love knocking down glass ornaments and may accidentally ingest tinsel or other shiny strands. Dogs may gnaw on interesting packages or break into gift boxes of candy or fruit.

Even plants need to be kept out of reach: poinsettias, for example, are toxic to cats.

To minimize risk, place breakable ornaments higher on the tree and put plants well out of reach. During parties or dinners, place your pets in a separate area of the house with bedding, food and water, and check on them occasionally. (This also is helpful in keeping pets’ stress levels down.)

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Pricy New Drug Means Higher Part B Premiums

The Medicare Part B monthly premium is going up in 2022 by $21.60, one of the biggest increases ever. The reason for it, they say, is the massive cost of a new Alzheimer’s drug, Aduhelm. Our new premium will be $170 per month.

That’s going to be a big bite out of our new Social Security increase, $92 for the average recipient with a benefit of $1,657 per month.

Aduhelm will cost $56,000 per year per patient. And that’s only the beginning of the questions and concerns.

Whether Medicare is going to pay for the drug is still up in the air because it originally thought the price would be much less, closer to $3,000. Certain other insurers have already stated they won’t cover it unless the cost comes down.

As recently as a year ago, U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisers voted against approving the drug as they wondered whether it really works. Clinical trials were inconclusive. Initially the FDA said it was for people with Alzheimer’s, but they’ve already changed their prescribing information and narrowed the criteria for receiving it. Now Aduhelm is for people with very early Alzheimer’s, mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia. It’s no cure, they say, but it slows progression of the disease.

Part of its cost is that it has to be given in an IV in a doctor’s office or hospital. Many hospitals, not knowing if they’ll be paid for administering it (that $56,000 is for the drug only) and who should have it, are holding back. Some are even insisting on doing their own in-house research to see if it works.

Doctors, not knowing if their patients can get the drug, are often hesitant to prescribe it and raise hopes in patients.

Still, we’ll be paying that increased Part B premium in 2022 while they work things out and determine whether Medicare will pay for Aduhelm.

This week’s puzzle answer is elsewhere in this paper.

The Crossword Puzzle is provided by Tribune Media Services.

IS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE HEREDITARY? The National Institute on Aging notes that only a very rare form of Alzheimer’s disease is inherited. Early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease, or FAD, is caused by mutations in certain genes. If these genes are passed down from parent to child, then the child is likely, but not certain, to get FAD. So while many adults may be concerned about Alzheimer’s because one of their parents had the disease, the NIA notes that the majority of Alzheimer’s cases are late-onset, which has no obvious family pattern.

Researchers have not yet determined a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress.

The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.

WAYS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AT WORK Change your hours. When possible, explore flex time with your employer.

Getting to work before everyone, or coming in later and staying after traditional hours can lead to greater productivity. There will be fewer distractions and less rush-hour traffic, and you can reap a greater sense of accomplishment. Consider working a weekend day and taking off during the week. Then you’ll have the added benefit of getting personal tasks done while others are at work.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson * Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting. * “My great-nephew and his family came to visit, and his toddler son is quite into opening doors. I had baby-proofed my home, but I did not think about his being able to turn a doorknob. His very smart mother pulled out a sock and slipped it over the doorknob, then secured it with a wide rubber band.

Even I was unable to get a good grip on the doorknob after that!” -- V.R. in North Carolina * Surprise guests? Here’s how to quickly clean your living areas: First, clean the toilet, mirror and vanity in the guest bathroom and leave a fresh towel; grab a laundry basket and remove any clutter from the living room and kitchen; put away or clean dirty dishes and wipe down counters in the kitchen; finally, give carpets a quick vacuum. Then maybe light a great-smelling candle and greet your guests! * “Fireplaces are wonderful for heat and ambience, but the ashes! When cleaning up, I spritz the ashes with a rosemary water solution. This keeps them from dusting up and flying all over, and it smells great. My neighbor puts her damp loose-leaf tea in the fireplace for scent.” -- C.W. in Iowa * “In cold winter months, keep your robe (and slippers or whatever else) under the covers with you when you sleep. Pull it next to or over you a few minutes before you get up. It’ll be toasty and will help make the transition into the cold a little less harsh.” -- Giselle in New York * Empty spice containers can be used to hold different hardware in the shop or in your toolbox.
