BEGIN AGAIN RESCUES AND REHABILITATES LOCAL HORSES

BY DANNY LINSNER

Unfortunately for Timmy, more tragedy would strike. e family’s patriarch passed away and the family was forced to sell the house and move, leaving Timmy behind. e family found Timmy had been sold to an unknown buyer and the family had no leads to Timmy’s whereabouts.

A er four years of searching, a family friend was searching Begin Again’s website when she noticed the picture of a horse that looked like Timmy. Even though the horse had a di erent color, she knew it was Timmy and she told the family as much. e family returned to Begin Again and signed the paperwork to bring Timmy to their new home, where he has been ever since.

As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. However, at the Begin Again Horse Rescue in Lima, that doesn’t have to be the case. e horse rescue, as their name suggests, provides abandoned or struggling horses a chance at a better life through rehabilitation and a chance to have a ful lling life for many years to come.

Located in Lima on Route 15A near the intersection with Woodru Road, the farm consists of horses found to be neglected or abused. rough the help of volunteers, these horses are adopted and rehabbed, and then sent to other places where they can receive proper care from a loving family.

e Begin Again Horse Rescue is only a temporary home for horses, so that means horses are constantly coming and going from the farm. e Horse Rescue usually accepts horses from private owners, county horse facilities, or from livestock auctions where the horse will most likely be sold to slaughter.

Most horses adopted by Begin Again Horse Rescue come from within a two-hour radius of the farm, which allows the farm to adopt horses to local farms and families. Many horses have gone on to be successful outside the rescue.

Last year, one horse adopted from BAHR, Holy Smoke, competed in Harrisburg, PA in the Horse World Expo in the Rescued to Stardom Training challenge. e BAHR sends a horse to this expo every year.

Other horses’ success outside of the horse rescue include Timmy, adopted by Begin Again in 2016 a er its previous owner could not manage the horse’s health. Timmy was 100 pounds underweight and had skin and eye infections. He started his rehab assignment with BAHR and in 2017, he was sent to a family looking for a 4-H mount.

However, this went poorly, and the family had to send Timmy back to Begin Again. Many at the rescue thought Timmy would spend the rest of his life at Begin Again, but that would prove not to be the case.

In 2018, another local family was looking for a horse to adopt and Timmy seemed a good t for them. e family trained Timmy for show, and he participated in AQHA shows and at the New York State Fair. However, Timmy’s demeanor prevented him from showing for long and the family decided it would be fruitless to force Timmy to do something he didn’t want to do.

Another project Begin Again Horse Rescue participates in is Project Microchip, which started in 2021. Placing a microchip on horses tracks them a er they leave the horse rescue to identify them if they ever get lost. e microchips also track horses’ diseases and to prevent their spread. e chip is inserted into the le side of the horses’ neck, with which insertion BAHR says the horses feel no pain.

BAHR has been recognized nationally for their work in horse rehabilitation. ey received Guardian status from the Equus Foundation, received grants from the ASPCA and the Doris Day Foundation, and was named the 2020 Horse Rescue of the Year by the Equis Saves Foundation.

e Begin Again Horse Rescue is completely run by volunteers, except for daily caretakers, and survives solely on donations from the general population.

To volunteer, you must sign a liability agreement on the BAHR website and attend a Saturday morning two-hour orientation. Volunteers under the age of 14 must have parental supervision, and all volunteers are limited to one shi a week, either in the morning or a ernoon.

To contact BAHR, email info@beginagainrescue.org or call (585) 322-2427.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Positive Reinforcement Will Nip Cat’s Negative Behaviors

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat Huey will let me pet him for a few seconds, and then he’ll nip at my ngers or knuckles. Am I doing something wrong? How can I get him to stop that behavior? --

Sarah W., Boston

DEAR SARAH: Nipping at your hand while being petted is a very common cat behavior (or misbehavior, depending on which end of the bite you’re on). It stems from instinctive behaviors that a cat learns from the time they’re born through adulthood.

Ideally, the best time to curb biting behavior is when they’re kittens, but not everyone has that luxury -- people who’ve adopted adult cats, for example, or owners who thought a kitten nipping their knuckles was cute, until that kitten turned into a full-grown, biting cat.

As you’ve probably noticed, yelling, “No” at a cat doesn’t always get the desired e ect. Instead, gently discourage this behavior. Pet your cat as usual, but as soon as he begins to bite, withdraw your hand and turn your body partly or totally away from him. You want to communicate that biting means he won’t get your attention any longer.

Another option, before settling in front of the television with Huey snuggled up next to you, is to smear a tiny bit of peanut butter or another favorite treat across your knuckles. Let him lick your knuckles periodically while you pet him. e instant he tries to bite, take your hand away. Essentially, you want Huey to not see your hand as a toy or an attention-getter. It will take a few tries, but most cats pick up on your intentions a er a while, so be patient and consistent with this training.

Does your cat bite? How did you solve it? Tell us at ask@pawscorner. com.

PET OBESITY IS A GROWING PROBLEM

Many pet owners would never intentionallyharmtheircompanion animals. In fact, pet owners often go above and beyond to ensure their animals are well cared for and content. However, many well-meaning people may be inadvertently harming their pets with something they provide each and every day: food.

Obesity is on the rise among pets.

The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention says that 54 percent of dogs and 59 percent of cats in the United States were categorized as overweight or obese in 2016. That marks an increase from 52.5 percent and 58.3 percent, respectively, from four years ago. The majority of veterinarians think that pet obesity is a significant problem and nearly half of pet owners admit that their vets have discussed a pet’s ideal weight with them during pet health visits.

My name is Cynnamon, and my parents rescued me from a backyard breeder. I’m about one years old, and I love my fenced in backyard because I live to chase rabbits and squirrels! I spend my days playing with all my toys and annoying Mommy when she has to work. I have a 15 year old rescued sister, Zoe, who refuses to play with me. She just naps all the time. Party pooper! I’m such a happy, snuggly girl!

RAVES

Thank You

A big thank you to the person who removed the top of the tree that fell across my driveway. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness (as well as your strength).

One reader’s take on the garbage plate discussion I had to try that fish stick substitution at my local plate joint. Not only did they do it and do it well, but my plate guy offered me tuna salad instead of mac salad! I was hesitant at first because mac salad is my favorite part, but the tuna and capers with extra mayo were a perfect complement to the plate. It added a fresh bite, a nice foil to the richer meat sauce and raw onion. Dig in with a celery stick instead of a spoon for added deliciousness and health!

Calling the Cops!

My sincere and heartfelt thanks to the fellow sufferers at the Mobil Car Wash in Lakeville on February 8, 2023 from 3:15-3:30 who witnessed a confrontation between Generation Z and a 60s person. During a dirty car day I had a 20 minute wait in line. Once it was my turn a large black truck came at me from the EXIT and tried to play chicken. We were now inches apart, but I kept driving forward to pay. Then the dude exited his truck while screaming that I had cheated (cheated a cheater?), and if I hit him he would sue me. It got even brighter when, upon exiting the tunnel, I saw a Livingston County Sheriff parked right by the door. Somebody had called the cops! Other people saw what was going on, and they didn’t like it. My faith in humanity and common purpose soared. I know it’s only a car wash, but we are all on this earth together and equal. Selfish jerks who cut the line anyplace are not really winning anything but our collective contempt—and sometimes vigilance.

Tailgaters

I’m fed up with tailgaters. No matter how fast or slow or time of day there’s always an idiot who tailgates. With deer and other animals out, it’s plain stupid to drive close. Even in daylight some won’t pass or back off and give space. Maybe your eyesight is poor and you need to follow close, sort of like a guide dog. Maybe you’re in a hurry to get somewhere and safety doesn’t matter. Consider the car in front of you who’s worried if they do have to stop or turn you’ll rear end them. Front and rear dash cameras can be used in court. Remember that next time you tailgate.

"Mind My Own Business?" Yeah, you should

To the person who wrote in condemning 'obese' people for costing you more in health insurance, shame on you. There is NO proof that being in a larger body causes poorer health. There IS a correlation between those two things and that is likely due to poor medical care and trauma caused by incessant weight stigma (by people like you). 95% of people who lose weight on diets gain it all back within 2-5 years. Intentional weight loss is not sustainable. So, keep your non-evidence based and oppressive opinions to yourself.

Sore Eye in Your Town

I traveled through town on a nice Sunday in February, looking at the old buildings on Main Street. I admired the old historical building on Main Street and looked across the driveway when something caught my eye: a pickup loaded with trash, along with trash and debris on the side of the house and back. What a disappointment. I proceeded to turn south. While admiring another building, what caught my eye were saws, trailers, wood; you name it, it was there.

Your town is very old. Why don't main drag streets keep clean? Where's the code office? Do they have one? It has been a long time since we came through this town. We really wanted to see the old buildings, but this was a sore eye maker.

Time For New Flooring?

• Buy the right bikes. Take time to research different brands of bicycles and what they offer. Some bikes are ideal for streets or paved trails, while others are better for rustic roads and trails. A qualified bike retailer can help shoppers find the right bike for themandtheirfamilies,ensuring everyone in the family is riding the right size bike and the one commensurate with their skill level.

• Limit the distance. Children won’t be able to put in as many miles as their parents or older

Going for a bike ride is one of the best ways for people to exercise in fresh air. Cycling is not only earth-conscious and convenient, but it also is a fun & popular activity that families can enjoy. siblings. Limit cycling excursions to a reasonable amount of time so youngsters’ health is not compromised.

• Focus on fun. Consider what kids will get out of the trip and gear the afternoon around that. Choose a path that circles a scenic lake or leads to an ice cream stand. Make your cycling excursion more of an afternoon out than a marathon biking session.

• Take frequent breaks. Little legs may not be able to keep up, and adults will need to

anticipate stopping along the way.

• Know the terrain. Stick to routes you have ridden before. Leave the more intense courses that include extreme climbs and dips for those times when kids are not in tow. Stick to lightly trafficked routes, or travel during off-peak hours. Consult with trail guidesandreadreviewsaswell.

Cycling as a family can be an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon & get some exercise.

DID YOU KNOW?

When tending to their lawns, homeowners are advised to pay attention to areas that may feature standing water. According to the World Health Organization, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can breed in great numbers in pools of water. Mosquitoes are known to carry diseases like malaria, West Nile virus and Zika. Furthermore, mosquitoes that bite pets can transmit heartworms, a serious problem if gone it goes undiscovered.Standingwateralso can be a haven for bacteria, mold and parasites that are dangerous to human health. If standing, stagnantwaterisaprobleminyour yard, remediation is necessary. Directing downspouts away from the house can remediate standing water. Changing the grading of soil so that low spots are elevated is another way to reduce instances of standing water. This may be a project that requires the assistance of a drainage professional. In addition, homeowners can remove standing water from empty flower pots, pool covers, bird baths, and more to reduce the likelihood that mosquitoes will appear on their properties.

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. TravelAssociationsaysthatdirectspendingbyresidentandinternational travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.

Millennialsmaybeleadingthetravel-enamoredpack.TheUnitedNations 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.

DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO THE OVER 50 CROWD: Movie tickets: The cost of going to the movies has skyrocketed in recent years, as today’s theaters now offer an array of amenities and, thanks to bigger screens and better technology, a better viewing experience than the theaters the over-50 crowd grew up visiting. While film lovers may need to wait until they turn 60 to cash in on discount movie tickets, many chain movie theaters offer discounted tickets to older patrons.

Jerome “Jerry” David Dougherty, born January 18, 1946, the middle child among the brood of 11 born to Harold and Phyllis Dougherty, passed peacefully at his cherished home on the lake, February 20, 2023. Jerry was a proud and faithful husband, predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Kimberly Dougherty, just 19 days earlier, and father to Jennifer (Tim), John (Mark) and Colleen (Bryan) to which he gave more life, love and inspiration than he could ever imagine. But being Papa to Ruairi, Gideon and Killian was undeniably his most treasured role in this life. Never did his Irish eyes smile more than when telling a story about his beautiful, smart granddaughter or his witty, fun and mischievous little buddies. And while at a distance, he never hesitated a moment to ask about his inherited grandsons Fisher and West.

Jerry is survived by his sisters, Cheryl Bryar (Bill), Pam Arrigenna (Peter), Kay McAfee (Ron); brothers, Kevin, Peter (Barb); brother-in-law, Steve Harrison (Kathy) and dozens of loving and loved nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters, Marcia Quinlan (Kevin), Karen Arrigenna (Jim), MaryJane Stoltman (Paul); sister-in-law, Susan Dougherty and brothers, Jim (Eileen) and John.

Jerry’s love for life, his family, his friends, his faith, his fellow Rotarians and anyone walking down the street willing to strike up a conversation was a contagious gi that was irresistible. ere was never a time that a party of 5 to 500 wasn’t called for, as long as he could convince Kim to get out the invitations and pull together the right food. He just needed time to make sure he had enough Baileys and Jameson on hand and to fastidiously manicure his lawn.

THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CREATING WILLS

Pets: Some people prefer to use their will to also dictate guardianship for their pets and to leave money or property to help care for those pets. However, pets do not have the legal capacity to own property, so one shouldn’t gift money directly to pets in a will.

Which, of course, meant engaging his longest and most loyal friend, Ernie, and his dedicated helper, Luke.

Jerry, with his faithful better half, Kim, by his side, was an unstoppable force for good times, great laughs and generous giving. Most notably this was seen in his passion and commitment to his community as a Rotarian, living the motto “Service Above Self” every day. But, if you were lucky enough to be brought into the ‘family,’ whether by blood, sharing a Baileys, a Notre Dame bus trip or simply showing up for his favorite 3rd of July celebrations on the lake, you knew and felt his love of life, his goodwill and loyal friendship. Like Kim, he was also the beloved “American parent” to so many foreign exchange students and used that opportunity to learn about and travel the world. He treasured his years of both morning co ee at the Village restaurant and a ernoon co ee at Pizzaland. More recently the stories stemmed from “the lunch bunch” and an a ernoon co ee at Ernie and Joanne’s.

Jerry’s was a life well-lived and leaves many stories to be told of Adirondack summer vacations, shing and skiing trips with his buddies, holiday parties and beautiful sunsets on the Florida beach. While he leaves countless friends and family to remember him, Jerry le this world to celebrate with the countless many treasured family and friends with whom we know he is already having a party. You are invited to celebrate with family and friends, as he did for so many and as only he would have it. Calling hours will be Sunday, February 26, 2023 from 2-6PM at the Stephenson – Dougherty Funeral Home, 350 Genesee Street, Avon. His Funeral Mass will be held Monday, February 27, 2023 at 11:30AM at St. Agnes Church, 96 Prospect Street, Avon. Interment St. Agnes Cemetery, Avon. Donations in his honor may be made to the Avon Food Pantry.

CHALLENGES OF GOING REMOTE WITH YOUR BUSINESS

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Ensuring customers can seamlessly connect with your business, and your customer service staff in particular, should be a priority when switching to a remote work setting. Remote customer service employees won’t have the direct access to management and fellow team members that they had when working on-site, so business owners can employ central management platforms that make it easy to access information regarding new products and services and previous interactions with and responses to customers. That access can help solve issues while reducing the likelihood of substantial lag time as customer service employees wait to hear from coworkers and managers about how to respond to certain issues.

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

When does a dental problem become an emergency? Some issues need immediate attention, while others can wait until your next dental checkup. A dental emergency is any problem that requires immediate attention, like severe pain, bleeding that won’t stop, the risk of losing a tooth, or an infection.Otherexamplesareasudden or severely painful toothache, sudden swelling in the mouth or jaw, exposed nerves, knocked out or fractured teeth, abscesses, and objects lodged in the teeth or gums. Missing fillings and crowns can also be considered dental emergencies, due to the risk of further damage and infection. If you’re not sure if your issue requires an emergency visit,call your dentist to discuss your symptoms.

It’s so much easier to prevent a dental tragedy than have to treat it when it turns serious. Place your

oral health in our capable hands at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. We’ll work together as a team with you to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. You can trust us to help you keep on top of a healthy dental profile that will serve you well into your future. For routine dental maintenance visits to late-breaking emergencies, you can reach us at 585.343.4246, here at 6 Batavia City Centre.

P.S. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, you can request an emergency appointment with a dentist, but it may require a trip to theemergencyroomif noimmediate appointmentisavailable.

WORK PANTS: THE NEXT GENERATION

(NAPSI)—Just as technology has had a major effect on the kind of work people do, it has also changed the clothes in which they do that work.

For example, with hard work in mind, a new collection of pants has been created by Carhartt with a unique blend of durability and functionality.

“Our company has been around for nearly 130 years, and throughout our history, we’ve continued to improve our product offerings to fit the needs of our hardworking consumers,” says Deb Ferraro, vice president of product development at Carhartt. “This new collection of pants reinforces our commitment to setting a new standard for workwear.”

Carhartt’s Steel Multi-Pocket pant, Steel Double-Front pant, and Steel Cargo pant feature the brand’s Full Swing® technology and a fabric blend of cotton, nylon and spandex. First introduced in 2015, Full Swing® uses stretch panels to provide ease of movement in the joints, improving hardworking consumers’ range of motion where they need it most—both on and off the job.

Additionally, each of the new pant styles is equipped with knee pad openings designed to fit the company’s most recent innovation in knee protection. The Carhartt knee pad features a strapless, honeycomb design that maximizes durability and comfort, providing an easy-to-wear solution for impact protection.

The launch of these new work pants coincides with a celebration of Carhartt’s oldest work pants. The classic Firm Duck Double-Front Work Dungaree was first introduced to the company’s product line in 1939, and it is now the focal point of the brand’s latest campaign celebrating its sewing, cutting and distribution associates. The video highlights the product details while unveiling the craftsmanship behind every pair of the B01 Firm Duck Double-Front Work Dungarees.

High Doses of Vitamins Lead to Vitamin Toxicity

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been diagnosed with vitamin D toxicity, according to the blood work from a month ago -- my result was 122 ng/mL. I was taking high doses of vitamin D3 in pill form (15,000 IU a day for three years) bought from a drugstore. I have stopped taking it, but I need to know how long it will take to have a normal amount in my body. (Weeks, months?) Can you shed any light on this question? I would like to take it again when my level comes down, but in a lower amount. Also, by any chance, would the high amount of D3 in my system have any correlation to a diagnosis of stenosis of the aortic valve? -- C.I.

ANSWER: Vitamin D toxicity is not common. I have seen one case in my career requiring hospitalization, due to a very high elevation of the blood calcium level. Vitamin D increases absorption of calcium from food through the intestines.

In addition, calcium can come out of bones in people with very high levels of vitamin D. With high vitamin D levels, calcium levels can also become dangerously high. Common symptoms of very high calcium levels include constipation, nausea and vomiting, muscle weakness, kidney stones, and neurological symptoms, including poor concentration and fatigue. These symptoms tend to happen at levels higher than yours, above 150 ng/mL. Years of high calcium levels can absolutely cause existing heart valve disease to worsen quickly.

In cases of acute intoxication from vitamin D, available treatments include steroids and pamidronate (an injectable medicine similar to alendronate and other drugs used to treat osteoporosis), which can quickly bring the calcium levels back down to normal. Without this kind of intervention, a vitamin D level will still come down on its own, only more gradually. Vitamin D3 is removed slowly from the body, because it can go into fat tissue. It takes about two months for half the excess to be removed from the body, but because the active forms are removed more quickly, toxicity from excess vitamin D3 usually only lasts for weeks, not months. Still, you are likely not to need any vitamin D for many months, and if you do take it again, do not exceed the safe dose of 5,000 IU a day. I recommend you also get your blood levels tested. Recent studies have questioned the benefit of supplemental vitamin D for most people, although some people, such as those with osteoporosis and low vitamin D levels, probably still benefit.

I’m very glad you wrote. Many people still don’t know that excess of some vitamins can occasionally be dangerous. Vitamin A is the other vitamin where high levels can be very dangerous.

UNIQUE WAYS LOCAL BUSINESSES CAN WORK TOGETHER

Form a local business network. When one business on Main Street is thriving, others tend to follow suit. That’s especially true when businesses network in the hopes of creating a bustling local shopping district.Local business owners can organize a network via social media or in person communication. Encourage business owners to share what worked, and didn’t work, as they built their businesses. Local networks also can be a great forum to plan and pitch community-based events like festivals, holiday bazaars and other functions designed to bring more consumers to Main Street.

SENIOR NEWS

Is It Taxable?

By Matilda Charles

A er preparing my own taxes annually for over 40 years, I’m about to have someone else do them for me for the rst time. is is not without concerns, of course, but the people who volunteer to prepare taxes at the senior center are trained. ey’re part of the AARP income tax assistance program, which means they’re IRS-certi ed and therefore will know about any recent changes to tax law ... which will be handy at this point.

As of this writing, the IRS is telling people to hold o sending in their tax returns for 2022. e reason: So many states handed out so many types of money during the pandemic that the IRS isn’t sure yet what is and isn’t taxable. For example, checks designated as “rebates” might or might not be taxable. A Covid disaster emergency relief check is not. However, in some cases, the issue is complicated by whether you do or do not itemize. People in at least 22 states are caught in this dilemma.

If you haven’t done your taxes yet and want help, or if you want to make a note for next year, do an online search for “AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Locator.” Once on the site, scroll down and enter your ZIP code or town in the search eld to nd the locations near you.

Be sure to ask about the forms you’ll need to pick up and ll out before your appointment, and whether you’ll be going inside or waiting in the parking lot.

e other good news is that this AARP service is free. For me it means I don’t need to spend $50 once again to buy the computer so ware and do it myself and hope I haven’t made an error somewhere ... perhaps with guessing wrong about whether that state check I received is or isn’t taxable.

HOW TO BUILD A STRONG PROFESSIONAL NETWORK

Reconnect with your college or university. Another great way to build a professional network is to reconnect with your college or university. When meeting people affiliated with your alma mater, the ice has already been broken in a sense, as the school is essentially a built-in connection. You also won’t have to worry about the awkwardness that might come when meeting a professional contact with whom you have less in common. Alumni organizations and local chapters can introduce you to people who earned your degree at your school, and many people love to help out their fellow alumni.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE (AND GET) A SALARY INCREASE

Don’t share why you want the raise. When discussing a potential raise, keep it about business and avoid personal reasons. You’re more likely to get the raise if you keep personal reasons (i.e. bills piling up, school expenses, family vacations) out of the mix. Maintain your professionalism during the discussion. Otherwise, you may risk losing your boss’s respect.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* “Revive the look of indoor plant leaves by rubbing the leaves with mineral oil on a soft cloth. Just wipe nicely, and it makes a big difference. Through the years, I have used this tip for both my real plants and plastic plants.”

-- J.D. in Alabama

* Lime juice and vinegar both make good meat tenderizers. You can purchase tougher cuts of meat, season with spices and lime/vinegar and marinate for 10-15 minutes before cooking. It is a great way to ease your meat budget. Steaks are getting expensive!

* “To make onion rings easier to cut (less stinging eyes) and to have the layers separate better when making onion rings, I put my onions in the freezer for about 10 minutes before peeling. They don’t freeze, but they do get nice and cold.” -- O.F. in Florida

* Looking for a more natural way to clean? Here’s two for the bathroom: Clean chrome with baking soda on a soft, damp cloth. Follow up with vinegar for some shine. Spray lightly and wipe away with a clean cloth.

* “Men: Make your own aftershave. Thin a bottle of baby lotion with a little rubbing alcohol. Put in a hand lotion bottle, and use half a squirt. No sting, and soft, smooth skin.” -- T.G. in Illinois

* Add a single teaspoon of rice to the saltshaker in order to keep too many grains of salt from coming out at a time.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On March 1, 1966, Venera 3, an unmanned Soviet probe launched from Kazakhstan, collides with Venus, the second planet from the sun. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet.

(will include some labor)

Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.

The American Psychological Association notes that stressful workenvironmentscancontribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort. Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they need to get by, they might think it’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there are a handful of ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.
