TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Don’t Miss The Sounds Of The Game!

By Keith Roach, M.D.

What Dosage of NSAIDs Is Safe to Take After a Gastric Sleeve?

We Listen More... To Help You Hear Better!

---

1331 East Victor Rd. • Victor • (585) 398-1210 513 W. Union St. • Newark • (315) 573-7844

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have had weight-loss surgery, specifically an adjustable lap band that was revised to a gastric sleeve in 2018. I have been given and read conflicting recommendations regarding the use of NSAIDs following these procedures. I have read that taking a low dose (400 mg) is considered safe. I have also read and been told to take the children’s liquid form at an adult dosage rather than the tablets. I am a 57-year-old female. I have largely avoided taking NSAIDs for years, but I have developed osteoarthritis and find that I am taking them more often (400 mg once daily, one to two times a week at most). I do ensure that I take them with food and also take a Pepcid whenever I take ibuprofen. -- A.W. ANSWER: There are several types of weight-loss (bariatric) surgery, and the best evidence that I found among those who had a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass shows up to a 70% increase in the relative risk of developing peptic ulcers after surgery. This sounds pretty terrible, but it actually means that in an average time span of four years after surgery, 1.4% of people who didn’t take any NSAIDs got an ulcer, while 2.4% of the group that had the greatest amount of NSAID use developed an ulcer. However, the same study showed that only 0.2% of patients who underwent a sleeve gastrectomy developed an ulcer, and the use of NSAIDs did not significantly increase this number. Finally, other studies have shown that medicines like famotidine (Pepcid) reduce the risk of ulcers by about half when used long-term. NSAIDs always have risks, but for a person with a gastric sleeve, the risks of lowdose ibuprofen are modest and need to be weighed against the benefits for a person’s quality of life.

UNDERSTANDING CATARACTS Symptoms of cataracts Individuals with cataracts may begin to experience diminished vision. Harvard Medical School says cataracts typically do not cause any symptoms until they have grown large enough to affect vision. Afterwards, symptoms can include: · Double vision · Cloudy or blurry vision · Seeing halos around lights · Increased glare sensitivity · Colors appearing faded or yellow · Requiring more light to read · Difﬁculty seeing well at night

We’ve Been Busy! Our local family-owned business continues to grow and evolve in 2024 and we want to take this opportunity to share with you all we have going on to start the year.

Printing We’re very excited to announce our long-term investment in new printing equipment that will arrive in February. We’re incredibly grateful for the history and longevity of our current machines, which arrived in the 1980s from East Germany. But as our capabilities have grown since then, so too has our need to update how we serve you. You might notice our Penny Saver size adjust to a standard 8.5x11 magazine format in the coming weeks. You might also notice the colors, registration and overall quality of our printing improve. We’re investing in us, so that we can invest in you for many years to come. A New Edition Coming this spring we’ll be adding a new weekly tenth edition in Wayne/Ontario counties. It will be distributed in the Macedon, Palmyra, Newark, Clifton Springs and Phelps communities. Please help us name this new edition by going online to gvpennysaver.com/nameit.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE REPLACING WINDOWS Consider other energy-efﬁcient upgrades. Sometimes older windows can be salvaged, especially if they are not damaged and only moderately drafty. Replacing panes, sash cords, weather stripping, and even glazing may be less expensive than replacing a window. Plus, older homes with attractive windows complement one another. To keep energy bills down, think about adding insulation to the attic and basement - which is a good idea even if you are replacing windows.

COLD W EATHER W ILDLIFE IN HOM ES BOOSTS DISEASE AND PROPERTY DAM AGE RISKS M any people may practice the “ love thy neighbor” creed, but w hen it comes to four-legged w ildlife su ch as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes w hen outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thin ned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people , the National Pest M anagement Association (NPM A) has found that many areas of the country continue to report incre ased encounters w ith nuisance w ildlife. “ W hile it can be a unique experience to spot w ildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be disc ouraged from taking up residence,” advises M issy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPM A. “ Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed t o rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, fox es, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected w ith rabies. Because of the risks a ssociated w ith these pests, homeow ners should take extra precautions to protect against them.

“Unraveling the Long History of Hatred Towards Jews, A Journey Through Time and Prejudice”, presented by Jerry Elman, author, blogger, speaker, aims to educate attendees on the 2,500 year history of antisemitism, characterized as the world’s oldest established hate. The Holocaust, the most tragic manifestation of this hatred, was a result of a long history of antisemitism that is often overlooked. This presentation addresses the entire history of Jewish persecution to understand and potentially end this historic hatred. It will shed light on the historical context of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and the modern realities of rising antisemitism and the misrepresentation of Jews.

Some hotels include the cost of utilizing such stations in their parking fees, while others may charge an additional amount. Either way, the convenience of ﬁnding a hotel with its own charging station outweighs any extra costs, as cars can be charged overnight while guests are asleep, leaving more time to travel in a vehicle that’s fully charged each morning.

Barbara A. Scott January 13, 2024

in Canandaigua, as well attending Ingleside Christian Church in Naples. Barb had many hobbies including knitting, crocheting, making dolls, gardening, making holiday gifts and spending time with her family and friends. She was an avid doll and perfume bottle collector. In addition, she loved to travel, taking trips to Alaska, Russia, Africa, Hawaii and Bermuda.

NAPLES: Barbara A. Scott, age 90, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 13, 2024 at Elderwood Nursing Facility in Hornell, New York.

In addition to her parents, Barb is predeceased by her older brother, Stewart Hawkins; husbands: Alvin White, William Domm and Judd Odell Scott; her son, John E. Domm; and her grandsons, Michael White, Andreas Hanggi & Nathan Hanggi.

Barbara was born on October 24, 1933 in Mattox, Virginia. She was the daughter of Alfred Hodge Hawkins and Lucy Jane ( Jarrell) Hawkins. Her devotion to the Lord began at the age of 5 when she started attending church with her grandmother. They went every Sunday morning, and Sunday and Wednesday evenings. At the age of 12, she moved to Naples, New York, where she attended school. She married at an early age and traveled with her husband while he was in the service. They had two children, David and Bonnie. She returned to high school ten years later to complete her senior year and received her high school diploma. After graduating from Naples High School, she started her banking career at Security Trust as a teller. She retired from Fleet Bank 32 years later as an assistant manager. Barb was very active in her community and could always be seen spinning the juice wheel at the Naples Grape Festival or working at the Lucky Ducky Raﬄe on Naples Creek. She also made hundreds of U-Cans which contained basic need items and then donated them to local shelters. Barbara was very active in many clubs and organizations including a longtime member of the Naples Rotary who received the Paul Harris Fellow award. She was also a member of The Order of the Eastern Stars. Her volunteer work included Hospice House in Naples and driving for FISH (Friends In Service Here). In addition, she was a devoted member of several churches including Trinity Federated Church in Naples, The United Church

She is survived by her children, David ( Jennifer) White of Springwater, Bonnie (Paul) Snyder of Wayland, William (Nancy) Domm III of Ontario, Sandra (Alex) Martin of Delaware, Susan Domm of Delaware, Mary Ann (Marti) Domm of Oregon, & Mary Jean Baker of Fly Creek; her grandchildren, Darien, Matt, Cyrena, Elysia, Allison, William IV, Ashley, Bryan, Kristopher, Sandra, Amanda, Jon, Alex, Nick, Julian, Todd & Tina as well as 32 great-grandchildren. Barbara is also survived by her Elderwood family who showed her love, care and compassion, and many friends including her pen pal, Sharyn Canham, who wrote to her daily over the course of several years. Friends called from 11am-1pm on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at the BairdMoore Funeral Home in Naples where funeral services were held at 1pm. Burial took place in Rose Ridge Cemetery, Naples. In lieu of ﬂowers, contributions may be made to a hospice organization or church of your choice. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Baird-Moore Funeral Home in Naples.

Here’s a Tip • Sources who know say that if you drop a marble (clean glass) in your tea kettle, it will prevent it from scaling. • Like to use paper towels to dry your clean hands? Set them aside to dry, then you can use them for cleaning with glass cleaner or other solutions. • Use a shower curtain cut or folded in half under baby’s highchair to make cleaning up the floor easier. * Air-popped popcorn is better for you and healthier. If you have an air popper, you’ll also have a jar of popcorn kernels. Keep them in the refrigerator or even the freezer. You can use them straight from the fridge, and the bonus is that you’ll have less unpopped kernels and bigger, fluffier popcorn. -- E.M. in Wisconsin (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

Huge Thank You I stopped at Food Mart to pick up a couple of things on my way to a get together, and lost my debit card. Luckily I was able to pay for my items another way, but I was frantic about losing my card. Some good samaritan found it and left it at the ofﬁce. There really are good people in the world! Thank you so much.

Hooray for the Medical Aftercare by Rochester Regional Health Elizabeth Browning’s poem “How Do I Love Thee” was written in 1850 as a love poem for another person. I want to share the ways I love what Rochester Regional Health (RRH) has done to help my wife Dianne (81) since a recent six-day stay at Rochester General Hospital for heart-related issues. Since coming home from the hospital, the follow-up care by RRH has been Tremendous. RRH provided a slew of medical equipment, such as a blood pressure device, oxygen meter reader, great scale commode, and two four-prong walkers for use upstairs and downstairs in our home. RRH has provided me a Telemedicine number to call in her vitals. RRH provided a 24/7 nurse contact for medical issues. There have been periodic visits of physical therapists, nurses, and a social worker. RRH has been God-sent with all the follow-up being provided for Dianne, my dear wife of 59 years. So, “How Do I Love RRH?” A whole lot and Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Love, Joe and Dianne Borzelliere

Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Julie Bagley’s Journey BY SUZIE WELLS

or Julie Bagley, single mother of four in Honeoye Falls, “My kids are my life.” Committed to community involvement, including the development of the middle grades’ cheer program in HFL, Julie says, “Helping out makes me tick.” A natural giver, she now finds herself on the other side, requesting and accepting help as she faces the toughest challenge of her life. Just three days after she dropped her twins off for their freshman year at SUNY Geneseo, intense abdominal pain sent her to the emergency room. There, she learned she had a significant tumor in her small intestine. Emergency surgery followed, and Julie was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive double expressor non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in her intestines, stomach, colon, and liver. Since the tumor was already Stage 4, she has endured aggressive chemo over the past few months, with one more round before a PET Scan on the 26th, at which time there will be four options: 1. The cancer is all gone and she’s completely done with treatment, 2. The mass on her stomach, liver, and colon have all shrunk, so they’ll pursue radiation on her small intestine, 3. Her team will decide to keep going with chemo, or 4. Worst case scenario, she says, she’ll need a bone marrow transplant. With zero symptoms prior to her diagnosis, she remains pragmatic. She insists, “I have a lot more to do in life. Not beating it is not an option,” so she tries to stick to the facts with each challenge. For instance, she knows she has a treatment next week, so this week, she grocery shops, preps meals, and takes care of things she knows she won’t have energy to tackle right after treatment. She laughs that she hadn’t used Instacart before, but now she’s used it twice. Working full-time in technology sales and moonlighting as a bartender once a week to get out and socialize while earning additional income, Julie says, “the [disability/health care] system is really messed up.” Fully disabled, unable to work due to her treatments, she says she faces such a financial burden, receiving federal assistance of only $170/week as she battles for her life. Winter on the Green coordinators Bridget Blodgett and Wendy Harrison decided to revive the fundraiser for Julie, an active volunteer at the event in years past, benefiting various deserving families in the community. Julie lights up talking about those events, at which she and other moms coordinate a night of fun, with delicious food, drinks, desserts, raffles, a Chinese auction, silent auctions, and overall community fun. Julie’s amazed at the list of this year’s incredibly generous donations.

community is always so quick to help out. She says there are so many people with problems, so many people with issues beyond the scope of what one person can deal with, and the community comes together to support them. The Bagley family moved to HFL ten years ago and it’s been such an amazing experience, Julie wishes she moved there ten years earlier. She says HFL is such a strong community, with great schools and incredible parents. “It takes a village.” She hopes the next news she can tell the community is that she’s beat the cancer, it’s all gone and she’s won. As she still battles, Julie says, “So much changes so quickly – of course the diagnosis is a big surprise – and everything changes.” To stay strong through the challenges of treatments and appointments, Julie focuses on “the little positives every day.” She advises, “Focus on one positive goal each day. It doesn’t have to be huge.” She chuckles, “Today, I cleaned out one of the girl’s closets. It makes you feel human, like you don’t have to face huge challenges all at once.” She also says her biggest advice is to accept what people offer and ask for help when you need it. She says, “They’re not pitying you. They want to help.” Even if you just want company when you’re feeling lonely, ask for someone or accept when someone offers, she says. Julie says she’s usually a better giver than receiver, so this has been hard. She encourages that even if it feels like you’re burdening others, you’re not. Your friends want to help, they want to be there for you, even if they have their own lives and challenges. Julie’s story is one of resilience, community support, and the unwavering determination to overcome challenges, inspiring others to find strength in the face of adversity. According to Julie’s friend, Marcye Bears, organizer of her GoFundMe page, “Julie is a fun-loving, outgoing, glass half-full type of person,” always ready to support others even in her own tough times.

HOW WOMEN CAN KEEP THEIR CAREERS GOING FORWARD Define career expectations. Defining career expectations early on can be beneficial in various ways. Such expectations can guide career choices and provide a road map that women can utilize to stay the professional course. This can help women make decisions about their careers when they come to forks in the road. For example, if a path to promotion seems blocked, women can examine their established career expectations to help them decide if it’s time to seek new employment. Defining career expectations also can help women effectively communicate with mentors about their goals, and mentors can then use that information when offering guidance. Expectations need not be concrete, and it’s likely they will change over time. But they can serve as an important foundation for anyone from young female professionals to experienced executives looking to make changes or determine the next step in their careers.

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A POST-RETIREMENT JOB Pressure-free: Regardless of what retirees did for a living prior to calling it a career, chances are they dealt with work-related stress. In fact, the American Stress Institute reports that 83 percent of workers in the United States suffer from work-related stress, while Statistics Canada reports that 62 percent of Canadian workers say work is their main source of stress. After a lifetime of confronting work-related stress, individuals who want to work in retirement should look for pressure-free opportunities. This is an important quality, as the ASI indicates that stress has been linked to increased rates of heart attack, hypertension and other disorders.

The beginning of the year is an ideal time to get organized and set oneself up for productive months ahead. It’s also a good opportunity to take inventory of seldom-used items and clear out as much clutter as possible. The amount of stuff the average person owns can affect how easy or difﬁcult it is for that person to get organized. In 2014, professional organizer Regina Lark estimated the average American home contains 300,000 items. And it’s not just adults who love to collect and keep things, as kids contribute to the problem, too. British research, as published in The Telegraph, indicates the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys, playing with just 12 in a typical day. All of these belongings contribute to disorganization and lost time. A study by Esure Home Insurance found looking for lost items accounts for 10 minutes of wasted time each day. Getting organized can take perseverance, but it’s possible.
