CHRISTMAS COOKIES MADE SIMPLE Prepare ahead. Many cookie dough recipes can be made and stored for later use. In fact, refrigerating a log of cookie dough can make it easier to cut or handle later on. Spread out the bulk of your baking over two days and you might feel less taxed.

PAW’S CORNER

Can I Safely Take My Pet to the Vet?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My state has stopped its reopening plan and stepped back to phase 2, which limits business hours, puts a curfew back in place, and essentially puts us into lockdown again. My dog “Custer” is supposed to visit the vet every six months due to a chronic condition, but we haven’t gone all year because I don’t know if it’s safe or if lockdown rules apply.

Should I just hold off on Custer’s visits until next year? -- Taylor C., Brockton, Massachusetts DEAR TAYLOR: Give the veterinarian a call today, because he or she will have the best, most up-to-date guidance on opening and operating as this pandemic continues. The situation with business openings and lockdowns is very fluid right now, and rules are different from state to state and even between cities.

When the first lockdown rules began to ease, back in June, the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to veterinary offices was to prioritize emergency and urgent visits first, followed by routine visits.

Some states explicitly designated veterinary practice as an essential service, allowing them to remain open even during strict lockdown phases.

Custer’s veterinarian will be able to tell you when the next routine appointment is available.

Scheduling may be tight, not because there are many urgent cases ahead of you, but because the practice is limited to a certain number of visitors in the building at one time.

Keeping up with Custer’s visits is very important. I am almost certain that the vet will want to see Custer soon, and will probably make his visit a priority because of his ongoing health issue.

NOW HERE'S A TIP

Batavia

By JoAnn Derson

Phone: 585-343-3111

* Candles will burn more evenly if you refrigerate them for a few hours before lighting.

Dansville Phone: 585-335-8537

* “I have drafty windows. I took a plastic shower curtain and cut it to fit the windows. Then I secured it with tape. It’s worked well to keep out the drafts, and I just remove it once a week and clean the windows with vinegar to discourage any mold from growing. It will work until next spring, anyway.” -- P.S. in Michigan

President

........................... Steve Harrison Vice President

................... Kimberly Dougherty Controller

........................Kathy Hammond Advertising Sales Manager

* There is a reason that most refrigerators have more than one crisper drawer. Some items need to be stored separately. For example, keep apples and carrots in different compartments. The apples give off a gas that can give the carrots a bitter taste.

...........................Manuel Karam Creative Director

.............................. Cristie Leone Production Supervisor

................................. Jeff Wasson

(aka Sunny), a rescue from KAT Shelter in Hilton 6/19. Yes, even purebred Persians like me get sent to shelters. My new friend Pat thinks I’m “purrfect.”

Send us a photo and brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it. Email to: sales@gvpennysaver.com or mail to: P.O. Box 340; Avon, 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

* A great tip from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes sleep under the hoods of cars. They can be injured or even killed by the starting of the motor. Before you start your car in the morning (or any time of day, really) give your hood a nice loud rap to give the cat a chance to escape.

* Mix some salt with a little bit of water and rub the mixture over your hands for a few minutes to get rid of the smell of garlic or onions from cooking. Rinse under cold water.”

SPIRITUAL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Share the story of Christmas The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin when visited by an angel who informed her that she was to carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes.

That required people to return to their places of birth. As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter in a stable where Jesus was ultimately born.

SENIOR NEWS LINE By Matilda Charles

Make Getting Fit Your Yearlong Goal Where do you want your fitness level to be a year from now? To get to that point, we need to take the first step. For most of us, that’s going to mean exercising at home. Here are some resources: Sit and Be Fit (www.sitandbefit.org) can be found on your PBS station (if it’s not, call the station and ask for it) and on the internet on YouTube. All Sit and Be Fit exercises are done sitting in a chair.

SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com), sometimes covered by Medicare plans, holds classes in gyms across the country, but at this point few people are going to gyms. Do a location search and find a facility near you. Ask whether they have video or online classes and see whether your Medicare plan covers it.

Look for “Growing Stronger,” the free 126-page strength-training book for seniors, on the website cdc.gov. Follow the suggested timeline, starting with reading the book and setting goals. Leave a message for your doctor and ask if it’s OK for you to start this or any program, especially if you have heart, bone or blood pressure conditions.

Remember what being physically fit can do for us: reduce our risk of falls, maintain independence, build strength and keep bones strong. That’s a goal worth striving for. (c) 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Being specific when choosing goals is important, but it’s equally important to be as specific as possible in regard to developing a plan to realize those goals. Before embarking on a journey to realize your goals, figure out how you’re going to achieve them. Create a new daily or weekly schedule that allots time to realize your goals, seeking input from loved ones whose lives may be affected by your new schedule.

Wheatland-Chili Girls Soccer Coach Gary Ward to Retire

BY AMANDA DUDEK

A

fter 550 wins, three State Championships, nine Section V Titles, and hundreds of lives impacted, Coach Gary Ward is hanging up the clipboard for good. For the last 39 years, Ward has coached the Girls soccer team at Wheatland-Chili, guiding the Wildcats to incredible heights and sustained success. Now, as he prepares to retire, he has an opportunity to reflect on his career and how far the game has come.

A Changed Landscape When he first started coaching the varsity team in 1982, he was only the 2nd Girls Soccer coach at Wheatland-Chili. Six years had passed since Title IX ensured equal access to opportunities for female athletes, but legal access didn’t always translate immediately to tangible access.

“The early kids were real pioneers and they took some risks,” Ward says.

“We had to fight for field time, we had to fight for equal facilities and participation... They knew how lucky they were to be playing.”

Over the years, the Girls Soccer program improved dramatically.

With increased access to fields and facilities, improved training methods, and consistent offseason playing time, the game became much more competitive. Through his coaching career, Ward was continuously impressed by the increased strength, speed, and skills of the female athletes.

The 2020 team is as resilient as any Ward has seen in his 39 years, due to the challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like every other facet of society, the pandemic has kept people from gathering in groups, so the team has had few opportunities to train, practice, and even bond together as a team. Injuries took a toll this season, and despite requirements that players must wear masks during practices and games, Ward says proudly that “our kids have been great. They haven’t complained. We made it clear what the mask rule is and they didn’t bat an eye. I couldn’t say more about them.”

Looking Back When asked to pick just one moment out of his celebrated career that stands out, Ward struggled. “There were so many highlights, and so many great kids,” he said. “I guess one of the most exciting moments would have to be the 2017 State Championship,” which the Wildcats won on a Golden Goal after double-overtime. He also pointed to the other two State Championships in 1991 and 2016 as well.

Wheatland-Chili Girls Soccer Coach Gary Ward at the 2016 New York State Championship

Despite his record of success, Ward makes very clear that winning isn’t everything. His coaching philosophy is actually quite simple: “I never set out to worry about winning. We try to teach them how to play and approach the game properly. What we say is ‘Go out and give it your best, play the way you’ve been taught, and at the end of the day we’ll look at the scoreboard to see who won.’ We try to take the pressure off the kids. We want to teach them to compete in a healthy way.”

He emphasized that he never saw himself as solely a soccer coach, either. “To me, coaching is teaching. We’re trying to use [soccer] as a vehicle to help our kids grow and be good people.”

His players saw that principle firsthand. Abby Jones played for Ward from 1988-1991 and led the team to a New York State Championship Title in 1991. “He was always so positive, guiding everyone, and brought out the best in us,” Jones said. “The lessons he taught on the field were so

relevant in life. He improved your game, certainly, but he also improved your life.”

“He was very compassionate and caring for his players, above and beyond coaching on the field,” recalled Jill Farrell, former player in the 1980s and a current kindergarten teacher at T.J. Connor Elementary School. “A lot of us had him as a teacher too and he wanted to make sure we were doing well in our studies. He was always really supportive.”

This season, Ward coached Farrell’s daughter – not the first time he has coached a second generation player. “It was cool to see it come “There were full circle,” Farrell said. “I’m glad that they had that opportunity to so many play together.” She humorously highlights, recalled how earlier this year, her daughter came home after the and so many practice in which Coach Ward great kids!” finally referred to her by her mother’s name. “He finally did it!

- Coach Gary Ward He called me Jill!” her daughter had laughed.

The impact he has had on players, parents, and the community is unmatched. He has stayed close with countless individuals over the years. For Jones, when she lost family members, Coach Ward was right there, attending the funeral, still serving as a shoulder to lean on.

“I hope he knows how many people love him and cherish him.”

Highlight of a Lifetime After nearly four decades, Ward is stepping away from the sport that has come to define his career. He’s looking forward to spending time with his wife, JoAnn, and hopefully getting back to showing his horses. He plans to continue attending Wheatland-Chili soccer games as a spectator. “I hope I get a free pass,” he joked to Todd Grimes, the Wheatland-Chili Athletic Director. “We’ve got some great young kids on the team that I think are going to be great players.”

Why now? Ward says that after 39 years of coaching and 50 years of teaching, it’s time. He’s had a great career, and as much as he’ll miss it, sometimes you have to move on. But when he reflects on his coaching career, he doesn’t hesitate. “This has been one of the highlights of my life. Man, it was a ride.”

Learn Right Way to Use a Cane ---

20% OFF

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Com pleteP air ofG lasses

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have Parkinson’s disease, and balance is an issue. I have been using a cane on the right side, my weak leg side. I have seen videos that say a cane should be used on a person’s uninjured side. I tilt to the right and catch my balance without cane support in most cases. Which side do you suggest I use for better and faster movement? -- J.C.A. ANSWER: A cane is normally used on the “good” side, the side opposite of the one that needs support. However, I refer every patient with a cane to a physical or occupational therapist, since the cane should be the proper type, the proper height and used in the correct hand. Also, people need to be instructed on how to use it properly. Up to 70% of people with canes don’t use them properly, and as such won’t get the help they could be getting. Almost half of people will abandon them. A skilled therapist can help you get the most benefit from the cane.

I have read that canes with built-in laser lights can be particularly helpful for people with Parkinson’s. This might be something to look into as well. These are valuable for people with “freezing” of gait.

DEAR DR. ROACH: You put my life into disarray as I read your column on the risk of recurrence with respect to breast cancer! I promptly grabbed my retired pathologist husband, and he was floored also. He accessed respected medical sites online, and we cannot find any stating that “women with estrogen receptor positive, progesterone receptor positive and HER2 negative tumors are more likely to experience recurrence.” What research are you looking at?

I was told by my breast surgeon, oncologist and radiologist that I am in the best possible position with breast cancer. If this is an actual error, you’ll have a whole nation of readers and breast cancer survivors in an anxious state and the phones of providers ringing off the hook! Please tell me that this was a misprint. -- T.W. ANSWER: It is not a misprint.

The issue is that risk factors for late recurrences are different from overall prognostic findings. Because fortunately late recurrences are relatively rare, they don’t have a major effect on overall prognosis, which is where I think you and your husband may be looking. Specifically, triple-negative tumors (ER negative, PR negative, HER-2 negative) have a worse overall prognosis, but survivors have a low risk of recurrence if they get through the first five years.

I am putting some of the original research onto my page at facebook.com/keithroachmd1.

I must note that there are more sophisticated genetic markers that can help predict recurrence. My column lacks space to go into those, but your oncologist can speak to you about them.

I am sorry your life is in disarray. I don’t mean to increase your anxiety. Perhaps it would help if I noted that according to one of the studies I am posting, recurrence rate in the 20 years after diagnosis is only 1.4% per year for ER+ women with no lymph nodes positive for cancer. ***

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. © 2020 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

We Care About

Your Smiles

by Dr. Steve Sokolovskiy

DEALING WITH A DENTAL DISASTER Dental disasters do not always occur at a time when you can immediately get to the dentist.

Chipping or breaking a tooth can be painful, but it can also create other problems if not dealt with quickly. A broken or chipped tooth should be rinsed with warm water, and any bleeding can be stopped with pressure.

If the break or chip is very jagged, dental wax can be used to cover the tooth to avoid cutting the inside of your mouth and tongue. Deep cracks can go all the way down to the roots and cause severe pain, but smaller cracks may be painless and invisible. They should still be seen by a dentist, although they may not require treatment.

At BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, we dedicate ourselves to keeping our patients out of the dental chair with our focus on education and prevention. We provide the highest quality oral care services so that you’ll spend less time in treatment and more time enjoying your healthy smile. We offer complete general dental care including repair of damage caused by trauma or neglect, periodic cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, and full mouth reconstruction. Please call for an appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre, 585.343.4246.

P.S. While the temporary tooth repair kits available in most pharmacies should never be used as an excuse to put off dental care, they can be very handy to have around for quick fixes if you need a day or two to get to the dentist.

CHRISTMAS COOKIES MADE SIMPLE Use a cookie mix. Who says you have to toil and make cookies from scratch? It’s the thought that counts, and any number of creative recipes can begin by utilizing a premade baking mix. These mixes already have most of the dry cookie ingredients sifted together, including flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. All you have to do is add the wet ingredients and any extra embellishments to make the mix your own. If mixes are too much work, purchase refrigerated or frozen cookie dough. Include your own add-ins, such as nuts, white chocolate chips, bits of dried fruit, or crumbled candy canes, to give the premade dough a unique flavor.

a festive table on a dime

YOU

C AN

DO

IT!

Presentation is king when it comes to setting a memorable holiday table, and it needn’t be daunting or expensive. Here are some essential tips that will garner rave reviews at your next gathering.

Mercury Glass It’s everywhere these days.

From trees, to pumpkins, to candlestick holders, it’s timeless and transitions well from season to season.

Mix and Match Don’t be afraid to mix metallics. This gold flatware, purchased second-hand, is a standout.

Add Interest with Height A mix of faux and metallic pine trees give your table the height it needs. Be sure to place them strategically so your guests can easily see one another.

Start by scouring the house to see what you can mix and match to bring your table to life. Don’t be afraid to ask parents or grandparents for family heirlooms that they may be willing to part with.

One of the best investments you can make is solid white porcelain dishes. You can get them for a steal at most places and they’ll take you through every season. For a fun twist, layer them with whimsical holiday plates. Solid red napkins add a pop of color, and when placed under the plates, there’s no need for a runner or placemat.

Be Resourceful Think outside the box.

These heavy metal pinecones are confiscated from an old cuckoo clock.

Add some freshly clipped greens and you’re good to go.

GENESEE VALLEY PENNY SAVER

●

Wooden reindeer, real pinecones and mixed greenery take the textural feel to the next level. Snips of spruce or boxwood trees from the yard up the texture, and best of all are free.

Details make all the difference. Adding personal placecards is a great touch that makes everyone feel special. How about adding a surprise lottery ticket to the bottom of a random plate? Sometimes a winner, and always a hit!

Experiment Pinterest is a great place to get ideas. Take a stab at different napkin folding techniques and see what suits your fancy.

Where to splurge This dining room table is a restored farmhouse table.

It seats 22 people when all leaves are in. If you’re going to go all out, do it here and know that it will be enjoyed for generations to come.

It is so comforting to know that

you have pharmacists who are concerned about you. Everyone works so hard trying to take care of all our needs. Today, when I went to Top’s pharmacy, Michelle made it a point to greet me, even though she was not on the front line. As we chatted about the coronavirus and the vaccine, she assured me that they would take good care of me. How nice is that? Aubree is also very nice each and every time I am there.

THE HISTORY OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS Thomas Edison, the inventor of the first successful practical light bulb, also created the first strand of electric lights that would be used in holiday decorating. By 1880, Edison had standard incandescent light bulbs well sorted out and desired a way to better advertise his invention, so he decided to make the most of the holiday season and put his light bulbs on display. According to a 2003 article in American Heritage magazine titled “The Wizard of Your Christmas Tree,” Edison strung incandescent bulbs all around the compound of his Menlo Park, NJ, laboratory. Edison constructed an eight-mile underground wiring system in order to power this grand light display. Because the laboratory was situated along the railroad that passed between Manhattan and Philadelphia, thousands of people were able to see the display.

The concept of electric holiday lights took a bit of time to catch on. Edison’s friend and associate Edward Johnson was tasked with stringing together colored lights in 1882 and placing them on an evergreen tree. Johnson hand-wired 80 red, white and blue light bulbs. In 1895, President Grover Cleveland requested the White House family Christmas tree be illuminated by multi-colored electric light bulbs.

In 1903, when General Electric began to offer pre-assembled kits of holiday lights, stringed lights were reserved for the wealthy and electrically savvy.

For example, in 1903 a single string of electric lights cost $12, or around $300 today.

It would take several more years before holiday lights became a national tradition. On Christmas Eve 1923, President Calvin Coolidge began the country’s celebration of Christmas by lighting the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse located south of the White House with 3,000 electric lights.

Today, illuminated strands of lights have become a large part of holiday celebrations and have even been adopted for use during various year-round events. Such lights can be a beautiful and festive addition to many celebrations.

STAY SAFE WHEN STRINGING HOLIDAY LIGHTS Lighting displays are one of the many things that help make the holiday season a special time of year. Often awe-inspiring, holiday lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for communities and individuals to showcase their festive sides.

Safety should always be a priority when stringing holiday lights both inside and outside a home. The National Fire Protection Association notes that, between 2009 and 2014, fire departments in the United States responded to an average of 210 home fires that started with Christmas trees per year.

Lighting displays strung on home exteriors also can pose safety risks if homeowners do not exercise caution. Following some simple safety procedures when decorating with lights can ensure everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday season.

SPIRITUAL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS Set out a nativity scene Make a nativity scene the primary focus of Christmas decorations and encourage children to play with the figures and act out the Christmas story.

That’s a considerable perk, as moving can be expensive, especially for adults moving to different parts of the country. Asking about relocation expenses before being offered a job can be tricky, but some companies may mention such packages in their job ads or in their initial meetings with out-of-town candidates.
