resolutions, and the dawn of a new calendar year is often a great time to find discounts on gym memberships. According to Consumer Reports, many gyms and fitness centers, recognizing the desire people have to start the year off on a healthy foot, will greatly discount the cost of memberships in January. But signing up for a discounted gym membership on the morning of January 1 is not the only way to save money and still get fit. Prospective members willing to commit to 12-month memberships may be able to get a gym with costly initiation fees to waive that fee. In addition, e-commerce businesses like Groupon® and LivingSocial may also offer discounted memberships to area gyms through their websites. Fitness-minded people may also be eligible for health club rebates through their health insurance plans. In such instances, health insurance providers may reward policy holders who visit the gym a predetermined number of times in aspecifictimeframe(i.e.,50visits in six months) with rebates. Such rebates can save club members several hundred dollars per year, greatly reducing the overall cost of their gym memberships.

WARM UP WITH STEW ON COLD WINTER NIGHTS

Serves 6 generously

2 pounds beef shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces (see note)

1 onion, cut into large dice

2 carrots, cut into large dice

2 stalks celery, cut into large dice

2 dried bay leaves

4 sprigs fresh thyme

7 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 bottle red wine

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/4 pound slab bacon, cut into large dice

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 cups beef stock

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice

1. Put the beef chunks in a large bowl and add the onion, carrots and celery. In a piece of cheesecloth, tie together a bouquet of garni of the bay leaves, thyme, parsley, and peppercorns and add to the bowl. Pour in the bottle of wine. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight, stirring the mixture once or twice over the course of the evening.

2. The next day, remove the meat from the marinade and dry the pieces in a shallow pan lined with several layers of paper towels. Remove the vegetables and reserve them separately, along with the bouquet garni. Reserve the wine. Season the beef with salt and pepper.

3. In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the canola oil. Add the bacon and cook until browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. In single-layer batches, brown the beef chunks on all sides, then set aside. Brown the reserved onions, carrots and celery, about 10 minutes. Add additional canola oil to the pot if there is not enough bacon fat to brown all of the beef and vegetables.

4. Return the beef to the pot with the vegetables and add 3 tablespoons of the butter. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the reserved wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom. Add the bacon and stock and bring to a boil. Skim off the scum that rises to the top; once the scum is removed, add the bouquet garni. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat until the beef is very tender, about 11/2 hours. Remove the bouquet garni.

5. Toward the end of the beef’s cooking time, bring the potatoes to a boil in a separate saucepan covered generously with salted water. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

6. In a medium sauté pan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the pearl onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the onions and cook until both onions and mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

7. Serve the stew in bowls, garnished with the pearl onions, mushrooms and potatoes.

Note: When shopping for beef, you won’t find a cut labeled “beef shoulder” - what you want is either a chuck roast of some sort or, from a bit lower on the shoulder, a cut labeled either “arm roast” or “round bone roast.”

Radiofrequency Ablation Considerably Lessens Back Pain

DEAR DR. ROACH: I suffered a lower back injury in 2001, with crushed and bulging discs in the L2, L3, L4 and L5 vertebras. After over a year of physical therapy and drugs, my pain doctor tried an epidural injection, which did not work, and then suggested I try something new at that time called a radiofrequency ablation (also called a lumbar facet rhizotomy). It’s done as an outpatient surgery and may have to be repeated.

I’ve done so many that I opt for no anesthesia. It works great; I even get up and drive myself home! I’ve learned to limit my activities, so as to not cause more damage due to my disabled pain receptors.

I have been pain- and drug-free for almost 20 years. The treatment usually lasts nine to 14 months, and when I feel the nerves starting to fire again and cause me pain, I just schedule the procedure and have them ablated again.

Whenever I see somebody walking funny due to back pain, I mention this procedure to them. Several of them have come back and thanked me for saying something.

Doctors don’t seem to promote this procedure, and I don’t understand why. It’s clearly another option besides surgery and addictive medication. It’s been a win-win for me, as opposed to surgery.

Please help promote this wonderful yet “unknown” procedure. I’m still living an active normal life at 64, 20 years after I was told I may end up in a wheelchair. -- M.T.

ANSWER: Radiofrequency ablation of the nerves in the back has been used since the 1970s in people with intractable back pain. The procedure uses an electrode that heats the nerves in the facet joints of the back, stopping pain conduction. This is done when the treating physician is sure that the pain is coming from these particular nerves, called the lumbar medial branch nerves. This procedure is not appropriate for all types of back pain. Typically, the physician will perform a block using an injection, and if this is successful, but short-lived (as is often the case), a radiofrequency ablation is considered. When it works, a year of relief is typical (sometimes shorter or, for a few, up to three years) before the nerve fibers regenerate, at which point the procedure can be repeated. Burning or numbness around the injection site is the most common adverse effect.

Effectiveness rates in the published literature range from 50% to nearly 100% in small trials of carefully chosen subjects. However, a large randomized trial of this procedure in subjects who were being treated with an exercise program and psychological support did not show a significant improvement in pain or function.

I agree with you that this procedure is safer than surgery, and while I’m glad it’s worked for you, the evidence of benefit from the highest-quality trials is lacking.

Serves 10 to 12

Amaretti Base

5 ounces amaretti

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

5 tablespoons sugar

Cardamom Truffle Filling

2 1/3 cups heavy cream

4 to 6 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised to open them

25 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), grated

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed

4 tablespoons chocolate liqueur

Cardamom Cocoa Sugar

3 green cardamom pods

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

1 10-inch cake pan with a removable base, base and sides lined with nonstick parchment paper

To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes - this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.

To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.

Inconsiderate deer hunters

Thank you Livingston City Sheriff and National Grid

On Wednesday November 30, we woke to very blustery winds. We found a Livingston County Deputy in our driveway-apparently he noticed the electrical pole across from our driveway had been damaged by the wind. He had notified National Grid of the problem and stayed while they came to assess the damage. Within 2 hours National Grid had come and stabilized the damaged pole and then returned and replaced it with a brand new pole. We never even lost our power! Thank you so much Livingston County Sheriff and National Grid. Job well done-we are grateful!

Riga Recreation Secret Santa

On Wednesday, December 14th, for the 10th year in a row, the Riga Recreation "Santa" took to the snowbarren roads of the Town with his elves in search of uniquely decorated homes to surprise those at home with gift cards purchased from local businesses. It is always difficult to choose these homes as there are many worthy choices. However, Santa's little elves pointed out those they felt deserved a Christmas surprise. Special thanks to the Elves of Riga. Merry Christmas to ALL.....and to ALL a Good Night!

"Santa" David Thomas, Riga Recreation Supervisor

RAVES RANTS

It’s absolutely disgusting and irresponsible for hunters to gut deer along paths and dump the carcasses at trailheads. Not only is this unsightly and unpleasant for hikers, but it also poses a potential health hazard. The guts and organs of a deer can contain diseases and parasites, which can be spread to other animals and even humans. And leaving the carcasses out in the open can attract scavengers and create a mess for others to clean up. Hunters need to be considerate of others and take responsibility for disposing of the remains properly.

Regarding the “Response” to the Roof on HighMark Stadium

The most important point you make is that a roof could indeed add more money to the project. Not sure it would take a billion dollars as you suggest, however, a roof makes way too much sense for the Bills and their Western New York fans. Just this past Sunday, facing the Jets in nasty weather, the Bills amassed 18 yards gained on offense in the first quarter. Jet’s defense perhaps, but I think Mother Nature, put up an even better fight. According to Dawson Knox, “the ball is always wet, the wind’s whipping …. don’t know if you call that snow or rain.” Can’t be much fun for the fans, especially when the players are complaining, and the players have heated benches and parkas to help keep them warm. The 4 straight Super Bowls the Bills went to is ancient history – remarkable, yes, but a roof provides near perfect conditions and would, I feel, enhance this Bills team’s ability to strike effectively and more often. Just add a roof to the existing HighMark Stadium. Problem solved!

Do Unto Others

During a recent visit to a popular retail chain store, I was taken aback by the disarray I saw in many of the aisles. Inconsiderate shoppers had knocked items from their places and left them. Others had abandoned unwanted merchandise far from its original location, such as baby outfits in the Christmas section. Clothes were crammed onto fitting room racks or strewn on the floor. Businesses are already understaffed, resulting in longer lines for everyone and surly attitudes for some. Shoppers, please try to put yourselves in the shoes of overworked associates and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It will undoubtedly save you time and money, with workers spending less time cleaning up and more time on their registers or stocking shelves.

One Billion Safety Recalls

It was recently disclosed that in the rst half of 2022, there were over 1 billion recalls across the country of products that we buy. at’s billion, with a “b.” Depending on the level of the recall, some of them can be extremely serious ... even deadly.

How do we know whether we missed an announcement about a product we own? We can go online to Recalls.gov and look. ey cover everything from sports equipment to electronics, household items and more. You can search on that site by date, the type of hazard and the country where an item was manufactured. I searched for clothing. It was shocking to see a dozen children’s items recalled for re hazard. And the padded rolling desk chair with the legs that can break. And the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms that don’t work. And laundry detergent with dangerous bacteria in it.

To be noti ed about recalls, go to www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/Subscribe and sign up for the free email alerts.

If you need to keep up with recalls and alerts for a vehicle, go online to www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. You’ll need the vehicle identi cation number (VIN), which can be found on the door jamb behind the driver door. Or you can search by year, make and model of your vehicle. For the very latest vehicle recalls, Kelley Blue Book also has them listed on the front page at www.kbb.com/recall.

Food is another area where we need to keep up with any recalls and warnings. Search for “FDA Recalls, Market Withdrawals, & Safety Alerts” for the latest information on cosmetics, veterinary items, medical devices and food. Right on the front page was a list of alerts for products with undeclared wheat, potential listeria, salmonella and more. In the medical devices it was disturbing to learn of rust on needles.

You’ll see a link there to sign up for alert emails.

Resolve to read more and reap the benefits

It may be tempting to curl up on the couch and turn on the television to unwind, but research indicates that reading is one of the best workouts for the brain. The World Health Organization says that doctors diagnose nearly 10 million new cases of dementia each year. With so many people understandably concerned about any and all cognitive issues related to aging, the search is continually on to find ways to strengthen the mind’s muscle. It may be as simple as picking up a book.

People make New Year’s resolutions to improve their lives, and reading more can be a great way to do just that. According to the online health and wellness resource The Healthy (www.thehealthy. com), reading has been associated with language reception in the left temporal cortex of the brain. When this part of the brain processes written material, neurons begin working hard to transmit information. Research conducted by Stanford University indicated that MRI scans of people who are deep into a Jane Austen novel showed an increase in blood flowing to areas of the brain that control both cognitive and executive function.

When the brain is working efficiently, it may be less prone to some of the issues that can cause a decline in memory and brain function. Research published in the journal Neurology found frequent brain exercise through reading lowered mental decline by 32 percent.

Of course, the benefits of reading extend beyond the physical. Literary fiction can help people be more empathetic. Getting lost in a book and the characters’ stories makes others more relatable. Reading has the potential to help a person understand what people are thinking, offers research published in the journal Science.

Picking up a good book also can help a person gain knowledge of new cultures, ideas and history and even improve vocabulary. Picking up a newspaper or magazine, joining a book club or reading with children are just a few of the many ways to improve the mind through reading.

HOW TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

Be as specific as possible. In addition to being patient, being specific when deciding on a resolution can increase the likelihood that the successful pursuit of that resolution will have as positive an impact on your life as possible. For example, a nonspecific resolution to lose weight may be successful if you only shed a single pound. But men and women who resolve to lose weight typically want to lose more than one pound. By resolving to lose a predetermined and specific number of pounds, you might be more likely to commit to your goal, and more encouraged the closer you get to achieving that goal.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* The end of the year is a great time to pick up next year’s holiday decorations at a discount. Before you pack away your holiday lights, ornaments, cards, etc., do an inventory and see if you are able to find what you need to complete your look at a slashed price.

* Computer grocery lists can make not only shopping easier, but organization as well. Keep a file listing all the items you usually purchase from week to week. You can even create sections based on where certain items are located throughout the store. This will ensure you don’t miss something, necessitating a return trip to the store. Stay organized to save money.

* “Keep a small package of antibacterial wipes in your car to clean your hands after pumping gas. Not only is there any potential gas to get off your hands, but these handles don’t get cleaned often, and are very dirty.” -- R.D. in South Carolina

* “If you have extra papers that are only printed on one side, save them. You can cut them in quarters and staple several sheets together to make scrap paper pads to keep near the telephone or on the fridge. They are handy, and you’ll be reusing material, which is good for the environment.” -- U.L. in Missouri

* Putting up new calendars? Before you toss your old one, be sure to look through it for important anniversaries, and cut out and save any pictures or art that might be reusable for craft projects.

Happy New Year! Finding Grace in Times of Change

BY AMANDA DUDEK

Time brings change. If there is a common thread through the human experience, it may be that we tend to nd change a bit frightening – if not outright terrifying. Yet, time marches on. Every New Year’s Eve, we are faced with a fresh year, hot o the presses. Its 365 days are full of changes and the challenges that come with them. How do we face the inevitable? How do we navigate life’s changes with grace and peace?

FAITH

Faith has been described as believing as fact what cannot be seen, or better, what cannot yet be seen. Some have faith in God, a precious faith that sees us through whatever changes may come, believing that all transpires under the watchful eye of providence. Many have faith in loved ones, friends and family we hold dear through life’s ups and downs. In our family, we nd an anchor, a sense of self, ties to our past, and a glimpse into our future.

Perhaps, faith also means keeping faith with ourselves, with who we truly are. Challenging times can change us into people we don’t recognize, or they can cause us to hold even more tightly to the truths we believe in. ere is an unspoken power in remaining kind, loving, and generous in the face of uncertainty, even adversity.

“ is above all: to thine own self be true.”

HOPE

– Shakespeare, Hamlet

“Hope is the thing with feathers at perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,”

– Emily Dickinson

We must never underestimate the power of hope. It has become vogue over the past decade or so to imagine dystopian futures or realities similar to our own but in which everything

turns out terribly, in which humanity struggles against nuclear holocaust, worldwide chaos, a new global ice age, etc. No wonder people are on edge, fearful of the future and of change.

Every now and then, however, a work of ction emerges that suggests a brighter, more wonderful future than we had ever dreamed possible. ese hopeful pieces streak like shooting stars across our imaginations. ey remind us that the future is not set, that it will always be what we make it, and that we should never, ever ignore the possibility of miracles. As Balthasar would have it in the Charlton Heston classic Ben Hur, “...all life is a miracle!”

LOVE

“ ree things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love.”

– 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT is popular Biblical passage is frequently read at weddings. It’s little wonder as it beautifully and succinctly articulates the eternal and transcendent nature of love. Much has been written about love since the dawn of time; its endurance, importance, power, and more. While not much that is new can be said on this subject, perhaps one of the best things to remember is, to quote Reba, “Love isn’t love until you give it away.”

No matter what changes lie ahead, there will always be loved ones, friends – old and new – and people around us who need all the love we can give. ere are no changes more powerful than love, no challenges so strong they can stop us from continuing to bring love into the world and into the lives of all those we touch. It is the love we receive and the love that we give that allows us to face change with gracious attitudes and peaceful hearts.

It is with faith, hope, love, and deepest gratitude that we wish you and your family a Happy New Year!

MAKE THE YEAR AHEAD CLUTTER-FREE

Many people feel the dawn of a new year provides an opportunity to clean the slate and begin anew. That notion can be applied in various ways, including around the house. Cleaning the slate at home may involve reducing clutter around the house. Clutter can gradually overtake a home’s interior, turning a once pristine home into one overwhelmed with nonessential items. As intimidating as clutter can seem, discarding it is easier than it may appear.

Grandma’s Fruit Cake

Fruit cake! What do you think when you hear it? Yuck? Either you like it, or you don’t. I’m including the recipe I use, which was originally a raisin cake my grandmother made when my parents got married in 1916. So, it has been around for a while. When I got married in 1948, I asked my mother if she had the recipe for a fruit cake and this is the one she said she used and told me the history of it. She added the other fruits to it, nothing candied, to make the fruit cake that I make today.

325 degrees

1 cup shortening (I use Crisco)

1 cup raisins

1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar

1 cup dates chopped

1/2 cup molasses

1 16 oz jar maraschino cherries (drained and halved)

2 eggs

1 20 oz can crushed pineapple in juice

1 tsp cinnamon

1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1/2 tsp all spice

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp cloves

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

Mix all fruit ingredients together in a large bowl, then add dry ingredients. Mix well until blended. Put into greased pans, 1 angel food pan – about 2 hours or 2 bread loaf pans – check after an hour, or 5 small loaf pans – check after an hour.

Hope you like it too!

BEAT CABIN FEVER WITH WINTER RENOVATIONS

When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas.

Individuals may find that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unfinished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion. Homeowners may find that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors.

One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel.

Address drafts and other inefficiencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent infiltration.

Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations.

Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchens. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives.

Did

know?

Most historians credit the Roman emperor Julius Caesar with developing the Julian calendar, designating January 1 as the start of a new year. The Gregorian calendar, which many nations around the world use today, arrived in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII aligned the calendar, not with the moon, but with the earth’s rotation around the sun — marking 365 days.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS

Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.

Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment - and eventually a lucrative career choice - attitudes about trade schools and laborintensive jobs may shift.

Agreatnumberofcollegegraduatesentertheworkforcewithdegreesthat may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and workinginjobsthataren’tevenintheirfieldsofstudy.Careerandtechnical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.

THE GROWTH OF THE SOLAR EMPLOYMENT SECTOR

According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, there were 260,077 solar workers working at 8,601 solar companies in the United States in 2016. The census also found that the five states with the most solar jobs in 2016 were California, Massachusetts, Texas, Nevada, and Florida. Twenty-eight percent of state solar workers in 2016 were females, making women the largest demographic in the solar industry. Latinos and Hispanics (17.2 percent), Asians or Pacific Islanders (9.1 percent), and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (9 percent) rounded out the top four demographics employed by the solar industry. Of the 260,077 solar industry jobs in 2016, more than 137,000 were classified as installation jobs that paid a median wage of $26 per hour. With roughly 38,000 jobs in 2016, solar manufacturing was the next biggest employer of workers in the solar industry.
